AKECHI TOUMA!

Now what I'm more excited to show is his birth flower(s)

Does September have two birth month flowers?

Yes! September has two birth month flowers, the morning glory and the aster. Which means another pretty flower to add to your bouquet. Yay! Asters are wonderfully vibrant wildflowers, ranging from white and red to pink and yellow. They'll easily brighten up any bouquet, especially during the autumn months!

Let's start with the asters first!

ASTER FLOWERS

Origins

The humble aster is a misunderstood flower. They're often confused with daisies, and some even consider them to be weedy because of how easily they grow. These little, dainty blooms have a big, rich history behind them and a Greek legend telling the story of how they got their name. Asters were named after the Greek word for ‘star’. Because, when the Greek legend Astraea, was upset by how few stars there were in the sky she started to cry. And where her tears hit the ground, they turned into asters. Cool story right?

Meaning and symbolism

In general, asters are considered to symbolize love, affection, and wisdom. In the Victorian flower language, they also carried the meaning of daintiness, patience, and charm. However, the specific color of an aster can change its meaning.

And thats all the information i can provide! (*^▽^*)

Tell me what you think about this one? Should i do the next 5th of September flower (morning glory?)

Fun fact!

Did you know that because of asters happy, positive vibes, they were once used to ward off evil spirits and negative energy? So if you’re a superstitious person, having these pretty flowers around will definitely give you peace of mind.

Since I've shared more of my reading interests on here lately, I thought I'd share my rant about the insanity of the book The Princess Bride by William Goldman. Yes. This is the book that is the same story as the popular older movie The Princess Bride.

I'll start this by saying I've never been so affronted by a book before. The closest would be the ending of the first Mortal Engines books (which if you know you know). That ending actually drove me nuts enough that I recall it quite often when thinking about insane books. However, the Princess Bride blows that chaos out of the water.

Not only is the book halted by a lot of extra nonsense that the author throws in of his own thoughts and opinions because part of the story is that he is retelling a book he read as a child and abridging it. The book in question doesn't exist so this is all made up and fantastical. I'm usually down for the silly and extra from writers. I've read Good Omens and plan to read some of the Discworld series sooner rather than later. I obviously recently finished the Hobbit and LoTR. But that is the fun silly that I love. Whatever the fuck is in the Princess Bride bridges on insanity.

The book is mostly the same as the movie EXCEPT for the ending. In the movie, it ends with Buttercup, Westley, Fezzik and Inigo riding off. In the book, it goes further. In to the most insane shit I've ever read in a published book. It's genuinely insane crack fic level material.

Like WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THEY GET SAVED BY THE PIRATES FROM THE PRINCE'S SOLIDERS BUT HAVE TO LEAVE THE BOAT IN WHICH FEZZIK IS INCHARGE OF ROWING. HE ROWS THEM INTO A WHIRLPOOL WHICH IS WHEN WESTLEY SPEAKS UP AND SAYS THAT THEY HAVE TO SWIM THROUGH THE WHIRLPOOL TO GET TO AN INASSECIBLE ISLAND WHERE THE PRINCE CANT FOLLOW. THIS HAPPENS AND THEN BUTTERCUP WHILE THEY ARE CHILLING ESSENTIALLY TURNS TO WESTLEY AND SAYS LETS HAVE SEX FINALLY. THAT SEX GETS BUTTERCUP PREGNANT WHICH ENDS UP LEADING TO A BIRTH WHERE THE BABY IS BACKWARDS AND TANGLED AND POTENTIAL WILL DIE ONLY FOR FEZZIK IS GET FUCKING POSSESSED AND SHOW UP AND DELIVERY THE BABY SAFELY. THEN THERES A TIME JUMP TO WHERE FEZZIK IS SAVING THE BABY AFTER SHE WAS KIDNAPPED AND HE JUMPS OFF A CLIFF TO SAVE HER AND THANKFULLY THEY SURVIVE BUT THATS WHERE THE BOOK FUCKING ENDS.

WHAT THE GENUIENE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS BOOK. WHAT THE FUCK

SURPRISE ATTACK

-

Eclipse trembled on the ground, his entire body shaking with fear.

Someone had yelled on TV and it had scared him, making him drop to the ground in fear. Of course, he was size of full grown human being, enough to make everyone look up.

In the middle of the living room, Shadow and Silver were confused, but Wade leapt up, "Hey, it's okay," he said softly, his voice close to a a whisper. "That was really scary, wasn't it? You're okay, you're safe, no one is going to hurt you."

Eclipse whimpered.

"I know, sweetheart," Wade continued, sitting down next to him. "That wasn't fun was it. It reminded you of something in the past, didn't it? But that's not your fault. There was nothing you did to deserve that."

When Eclipse looked up at him, Wade kept talking. "But you're safe now, nothing bad is going to happen to you. You are completely safe."

He saw yearning the those yellow eyes, and asked, "Do you want a hug? Would that help?" He didn't know if it would or not, Shadow had never been too cuddly of a person.

A moment later, Wade had a 5'10'', full grown alien trying to cower in his lap, holding onto his for dear life. At least he wasn't that heavy. This was good to know for the future.

Coming up next to him, Shadow's face was full of concern, "Is going to be okay?"

"He will," Wade told him. "He just needs some love and care right now."

Been seein some rather cold takes about Daisy lately…

I’ve seen some people say that she has no personality outside of fanon, but that’s just not true. There is a very very common misconception among the fandom (at least that I’ve noticed) that if a character doesn’t appear in a “mainline” game, then they have no personality. But I’d argue that the spinoffs actually offer waaaaay more in terms of looking into character personalities. And no, I’m not talking about the RPGs ala M&L and Paper Mario as those are obviously full of personality (and Daisy isn’t in those). I’m talking about the Party, Kart, Tennis, and other sports games.

Yes, Daisy hasn’t appeared in any mainline game since her debut, but she’s been in nearly every sports game and her traits, stats, abilities, victory/loss animations, and various other tiny details add up to her personality. The fact that she’s nearly always yelling or just speaking really loud in general (noticeably more than any other character), the fact that she constantly feels a need to say her name and make herself known, how she loves flowers and considers even a small patch of flowers worth protecting, how she’s easily bored by tasks that don’t excite her and isn’t so reliable for them. She tends to jump around a lot, and spin and dance around when she’s excited! She’s apparently a rather fast runner and that is considered her specialty! These are all traits that are displayed in the spinoffs, and there’s probably soooo many more that I just can’t remember right now.

Now, I do think her tomboyish nature is probably fanon, as I don’t really remember seeing anything to show that she acts that way in the games. I think people probably think she’s tomboyish due to how loud and energetic she is. But hey, there’s plenty of fanon for just about any character from any fandom out there. And what’s so wrong with that? Isn’t the whole point of making fanworks to expand on the framework already provided by canon? If we want to stick to what’s actually “canon” then nearly everything the fandom has created would have to be tossed, because there really isn’t much to work with. Fanworks and fandoms thrive on what fans can create based on the canon work, not just sticking to it perfectly.

It’s fine if you think the “fanon” Daisy outshines the “canon” Daisy and you dislike that. But to say that she has no personality aside from fanon interpretations just tells me that you have a very narrow idea of what counts as “canon” in an already rather simplistic world. The Mario games are very simple and straightforward without much consistent lore that actually makes sense cohesively, but the characters are what keep everything tied together despite that. The characters are nearly always consistent, and that includes Daisy. Even when the setting is completely different and some random new villain shows up with some random new power source to steal or species to torment, our same well-known lovable characters will be the center of the story and that’s what makes it fun!
