Preserved Rose in Singapore: Timeless Beauty for Every Occasion

Flowers have been one of those things appreciated for elegance and delicacy since time immemorial. However, one flower stands out from the rest because it is known to stand the test of time in retaining the beauty that one looks for in a flower – the preserved rose. In Singapore, the preserved roses are quite popular because they are long-standing with beautiful allure. In using them on special occasions or interior decorations in a house, one indeed gets a chance to enjoy moments with blooms telling a real story.

But we just can’t keep away

When you know me like you do

It’s supernatural got me howling at the moon

"Know that I loved you" after the forehead touch is diabolical.

i feel like almost everything in utena has sort of already been extensively discussed in the last two (almost three) decades of utena's existence (not that there aren't new interpretations to be made, there always are) besides black rose arc (mikage+mamiya+tokiko). which is why they're so much fun to think about. i think the need to read between the lines makes it unfortunately easy to misunderstand or look past obvious stuff if you don't pay attention, but to me it's always been really obvious that mikage's arc is a literal representation of the erasure of queerness in ohtori (society?) by akio/everything he represents. and that's so fucking tragic! nemuro was never able to find a name for his desires. he lived and died as a puppet in the shadows.

Here are the the DC Princesses we have in the Neverafter AU and their powers so far!

> Talia al Ghul as Sleeping Beauty

Although currently trapped in magical slumber, Talia retains a level of awareness over all that happens to her body and the magical thorny vines wrapped around the ruins of her castle. Her control over her vines grows day by day as she uses them to sense her environment and tangle around her enemies. The vines spread all over the castle and into the surrounding forest, an unsuspected guardian that guides or harms whoever may wander in her nest.

> Mia Dearden as All-Kinds-of-Fur

Mia owns three magical dresses (sun, moon and stars). Before every fight, she will tear off little threads off of each dress and tie them around each arrow in her quiver, giving her enchanted trick arrows with various abilities. The sun arrows creates blinding bursts of white and golden flames impossible to extinguish through non-magical means that fade out on their own after one minute or after running out of matter to consume. The moon arrow induces a violent psychic attack which traps the victim in a dreamless sleep or, fail this, vivid nightmarish hallucinations. The star arrow induces a state of compliant euphoria that can drive the victim to consider the first person they see upon being hit as the most extraordinary, perfect and worthy of adoration and worship creature for up to a day.

> Rose Wilson as Cinderella

A powerhouse of a trained fighter, Rose fights with a magical glass armour that allows her to turn invisible and a dagger made from the glass shard that broke when she snapped her glass slipper. Later on, she also gains a large diamond sword, the sword of Clairvoyance which can cut through anything. She also used to have precognitive abilities granted to her by the artificial eye the Stepmother (Slade Wilson) gave her, which allowed her to glimpse into the Narrative, but she took it off because it was destroying her mind.

> Koriand'r as Rapunzel

A magical princess, Koriand'r's powers were first assumed to come from her fiery, magical hair, which was largely experimented to increase its power by Mother Gothel; however, after an earthquake damaged the tower she was trapped in and sunlight touched her, she escaped and realised she drew her pyrokinesis, empathetic healing, and newfound flight, strength, resistance and starbolts from the Sun due to having been fed the magical healing sunflower herb as a baby.

> Cassandra Cain as Princess Elisa from The Wild Swans

Having learnt to defend herself from the youngest age, Cassandra is a fierce fighter, who defeats her enemies with her martial prowess and two sharp-pointed, magical knitting needles gifted to her by the Fairy Queen. She also carries around a broken, magical lantern granted to her by the Fairy Queen, which, once repaired, allows her to trap magical fires and release them on her enemies. Sometimes nicknamed "the cemetery witch", she wanders through graveyards and battlefields in search for little fires only she can see, remnants of the lives of the revenants and the dying which she can trap in her little lanterns to grant them peace in the afterlife and cradle this fire.

also, kara's boutonnière and this set referencing the valentine's day skit reminded me that the first valentine's day gift kuroba gives him is a preserved blue rose they made.

rewatching the resetting island scene from the prison today, and just wanted to ramble about something plaguing my thoughts

Rose, and what role she may take

So something i’ve been thinking about since pretty much yesterday was Rose, and what she thought was going on. Did she know where Phil had been taken, did she still think he was on the island, idk to be honest she may have heard him talk about it and was as unsuspecting as we were

I think she can track him down to a degree (ie giving Phil her blessing at spawn) but I’m not sure how far she can reach and see him

For now, I’d like to believe she could vaguely hear or see Phil through the flowers in the courtyard at the prison, but with the snow and Tallulah picking them, I think her abilities and awareness was limited

What I think she may have done, and time will tell, is try to protect Quesadilla Island, not it’s entirely because that could’ve been too much, but where she thought people may be. Where Phil may be. This would probably include her sanctuary just for safe keeping, Tallulah’s home, the wall and spawn, with maybe Tubchunks if we think she was looking out for Phil and the eggs, since Missa was still technically passed out at the sanctuary before waking up in prison

If we run with the idea that she didn’t know Phil was gone and just saw he wasn’t at her sanctuary, with no easy tracking, I think that could make sense of just desperate preservation of things

If we run with the idea that she knew they were gone, I think she would’ve tried to save player and eggs homes and frequent visit spots, and not fed buildings (RIPBOZO THE CROW DOESNT LIKE THEM ALL TOO MUCH) or unexplored hills

tldr; I think Rose, to a degree and for whatever reasons, helped keep things intact on the island during the reset, and in a sense, could explain why certain things were left alone and intact and why other werent. Idk just a thought with silly bird guy and his deity from his dreams(?)

Remove news media partnered with OpenAI from your search results

Over on Bluesky 707kat posted this Mashable article about news media that have signed contracts to let OpenAI scrape their content in a "well, we can't beat them, so we might as well join them" move.

I responded by making a uBlacklist list of all of their websites so you can block them from your search results. As far as I'm aware all of the contracts in the article are still in effect, though NowThis is no longer part of Vox Media. Intelligencer and The Strategist have nymag URLs so they are filtered by the nymag rule.

Using the list

To use the uBlacklist list in Firefox:

Go to about:addons.

Hit the 3 dots on the entry for uBlacklist and go to Preferences.

Copy the list from Pastebin and paste it into your list of blocked sites.

Hit Save in the bottom right!!!

In Chrome, you'll want to get to the uBlacklist options to paste the list, which you can do from the toolbar icon, or by going to chrome-extension://pncfbmialoiaghdehhbnbhkkgmjanfhe/pages/options.html (if you want to get there manually it's Main Menu > Extensions > Manage Extensions > Details button on the uBlacklist entry > scroll all the way down until you see Extension Options).

I'm not able to test Safari currently, but it shouldn't be too hard to get into the preferences/options for uBlacklist there.

Don't have uBlacklist?

It's available for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. The getting started guide is here:

It's also great for blocking AI sites en masse - I use this list to do that.
