[dansnaturepictures]

31st August 2024: Sea aster, Peregrine which it was exciting to see, views, Black-tailed Godwits, Dunlin and star bird today Little Stint I got some of my best ever views of this striking arctic looking wader one of my birds of the year, marsh mallow and young Shelduck on an amazing afternoon at Pennington.

Curlew Sandpiper, Spoonbills, Snipe, Avocet, Redshank, Lapwing, Oystercatcher, Ringed Plover, Pied Wagtail, Marsh Harrier, the first golden samphire I ever recall seeing a gorgeous plant, rock samphire, soapwort, bramble flower and blackberries, bindweed, teasel seed heads and rose hips were other highlights today with Woodpigeon and colourful scenes of Goldfinches on in flower buddleia at home.

this valentine’s day i would like to profess my undying, ardent love for the callistephus chinensis (china aster)! the flower that contributed to me giving myself my name!!

not only are they a part of the (superior in my opinion) family of asteraceae, but also the genus’ (callistephus) etymology is derived from the greek words “kalli-” meaning “beautiful” and “stephos” meaning crown. they have beautiful chrysanthemum-esque blooms and come in all sorts of colours (my favourites being purple and white).

straying away from taxonomy a bit, asters in general are one of the birth flowers for september (my birth month!). they symbolise hope, faith and wisdom. and according to greek mythology, astraea (“star maiden”: goddess of purity, justice and innocence) cried because there weren't enough stars in the sky and when her tears hit the earth, they caused asters to bloom! continuing to follow the greek myth, she was the last goddess to live amongst the humans after the golden age, symbolising the decline of hope for humanity along with the decline of the ages. she left and became the constellation virgo i believe!

some more fun fun facts, asters have a most frequently observed number of n = 9 haploid chromosomes (2n = 18 for diploid). the numerology of the word “aster” also happens to be nine and guess what! september is the 9th month of the year! is it obvious i really like the number 9? almost as much as i love asters <3

Writemas Day Twelve

insane how half of this event (I think it goes till the 24th?) is already finished! This is so funnnnn

the prompts for today

and the one I picked was:

The heart beat in his her bare palm, dripping dark, dripping bloody. Even out of its cage, the organ beat. It was admirable. It was beautiful.

just one—and this is pretty short—bc the writing juice do be wearing off BUT WE STAY POSTIN 💥💥💥

The heart beat in her bare palm, dripping dark, dripping bloody. The wizard examined it further. Even out of its cage, the organ beat. It was admirable. It was beautiful. It was the start of a new era. One where she could rule the continent. All she needed was to perfectly replicate this heart with runes and wood and steel, and then… she shivered with excitement.

Quickly, she got to work. Hands deftly moving, she carved rune after rune into her own wooden “heart”, reinforcing the spell work with steel. It took hours, the sun’s light moving around the room until finally, when it was pitch black, the final rune was carved by candlelight.

‘Now that the heart is finished,’ she wrote in her journal, dazed as if she had just come out of a dream, ‘I can continue on to the hard part—catching a soul to power it.’

the prompt made me think about Arbor okay

Do you think Drey’s amnesia extends only to the lore or history based memories and events/people that factor into his trauma? Or do you think he’s also forgotten some mundane things?

Do you think Drey remembers that he’s allergic to bees?

smiles so sweetly. who wants to tell me about their riptide theories. about literally anything. i really want to know what other people are thinking!!

yal'rlready comin for me about that next event preview and i'm like *prepares the salmon cannon, anew*

[anxiety-lemsbian]

ok even though i think nobody’s going to see this probably i need to make an announcement about the donation asks.

i am so incredibly sorry but they are making me so overwhelmed because there’s so many and i can’t possibly donate to all of them because i have no income.

however instead of donating to individual ones (because if i donate to one i have to donate to all of them or i’ll feel like the worst person alive) i’ve been donating as much as i can to the PCRF which i’m hoping is still helping you and your children.

i will answer the asks when i am feeling better, i’m so sorry about this i would help if i had more money.

very fun that all the may dialogue i've seen in arcade mode is basically just her insisting she's trying to be more lady-like, and then admitting she doesn't really know what a woman is. we know who's coming out next guilty gear game

So Many Books, So Little Time | What's On My TBR?

Sharing all the books I plan on reading next.

There are so many books that I need to read. And being a mood reader is not helping matters when it comes to tackling the list. So, since I’m being indecisive on what I’m going to read next, I figured I would just share what I have lined up to be read next. Will I actually end up reading those next? We’ll see. But this is everything I have on the docket at least for this month. These aren’t in…

According to his profile on the company's website, Aster is from the Atlantis Dimension

Each member has an obsidian stone that had brought them over to the real world. Aster's obsidian stone is indigo obsidian

His title is the Prince of The Sea

He's good friends with Lyon of BLODFEST (@kingdomofblodfest) as they grew up together in England

Despite being the Prince of The Sea, Aster does not like being in the ocean for too long as he doesn't know how to swim

[tenth-sentence]

Agariciform fungi, slate-coloured actinies, amongst others the thalassianthus aster, rubipores like flutes, only waiting for the breath of the god Pan, shells peculiar to that sea, which establish themselves in madreporic excavations, the base of which is turned in a short spiral, and lastly, a thousand specimens of polypier that I had not observed before, the common sponge.
