#the white flower hunter and his precious cherry blossom

[the-silver-peahen-residence]

So to the 4 dating the ninja kids. How was the wedding and honeymoon?

Nobu was drinking some hot chocolate but he had a wedding ring on his finger. He did blink to hear the anon. "Hm? Oh, hello there anon." he said but looks to the question.

Hiroshi sighed but still eating something. "To answer you, the wedding went well. It was really beautiful and a wonderful moment. All of ours went well." he smiled.

"T..true. It was a lovely wedding." He smiled looking to his own wedding ring.

"But as to the...honeymoon, it was nice and peaceful for us or from what we heard. We had our honeymoons in private locations when we left." Takumi said smiling.

When the Earth Had Two Moons: Cannibal Planets, Dreadful Orbits, Icy Giants, Dirty Comets and the Origins of Today's Night Sky by Erik Asphaug

An astonishing exploration of planet formation and the origins of life by one of the world’s most innovative planetary geologists.

In 1959, the Soviet probe Luna 3 took the first photos of the far side of the moon. Even in their poor resolution, the images stunned scientists: the far side is an enormous mountainous expanse, not the vast lava-plains seen from Earth. Subsequent missions have confirmed this in much greater detail.

How could this be, and what might it tell us about our own place in the universe? As it turns out, quite a lot.

Fourteen billion years ago, the universe exploded into being, creating galaxies and stars. Planets formed out of the leftover dust and gas that coalesced into larger and larger bodies orbiting around each star. In a sort of heavenly survival of the fittest, planetary bodies smashed into each other until solar systems emerged. Curiously, instead of being relatively similar in terms of composition, the planets in our solar system, and the comets, asteroids, satellites and rings, are bewitchingly distinct. So, too, the halves of our moon.

In When the Earth Had Two Moons, esteemed planetary geologist Erik Asphaug takes us on an exhilarating tour through the farthest reaches of time and our galaxy to find out why. Beautifully written and provocatively argued, When the Earth Had Two Moons is not only a mind-blowing astronomical tour but a profound inquiry into the nature of life here—and billions of miles from home.

Mousy Cats and Sheepish Coyotes: The Science of Animal Personalities by John Shivik

In Mousy Cats and Sheepish Coyotes, Shivik serves as an accessible, humorous guide to the emerging body of research on animal personalities. Shivik accompanies researchers who are discovering that each wolf, bear, and coyote has an inherent tendency to favor either its aggressive nature or to shyly avoid conflicts. Some bluebirds are lovers, others are fighters. And some spiders prefer to be loners, while others are sociable. Unique personalities can be discovered in every corner of the animal kingdom--even among microscopic organisms. The array of personality types among all species is only beginning to be described and understood.

The Elements We Live By: How Iron Helps Us Breathe, Potassium Lets Us See, and Other Surprising Superpowers of the Periodic Table by Anja Røyne

An around-the-world journey to discover where in the wild we can find the elements of life and the surprising ways they’re essential to our survival.

We all know that we depend on elements for survival—from the oxygen in the air we breathe to the carbon that forms part of the structure of all living things. But how many of us appreciate the ways our bodies also depend on phosphorous, say, to hold our DNA together, or potassium to power our optic nerves so that we can see?

In The Human Elements, physicist and award-winning author Anja Røyne takes us on an astonishing journey through chemistry and physics, introducing the building blocks from which we humans—and the world—are made. Not only does Røyne explain why our bodies need iron, phosphorus, silicon, potassium, and many more elements in just the right amounts in order to function properly; she also takes us on a tour around the world to where these precious elements are found (some of them in ever-shrinking quantities).

Røyne makes us understand how precarious the balance that keeps us and our environment alive really is, how there are finite amounts of our life-giving elements available to us, and how, from the smallest to the grandest scale, the world and everything that lives in it are wonderfully interconnected. The Human Elements will make you look at the world and your place in it in an entirely new way.

The sections of the book are organized around themes of adventure, human-animal connection, and conservation-in which stories of each penguin species will be touched upon.

The Sakura Obsession: The Incredible Story of the Plant Hunter Who Saved Japan's Cherry Blossoms by Naoko Abe

The remarkable 1,200-year history of the Japanese cherry blossom tree--and how it was saved from extinction by an English gardener.

Collingwood "Cherry" Ingram first fell in love with the sakura, or cherry tree, when he visited Japan on his honeymoon in 1907. So taken with the plant, he brought back hundreds of cuttings with him to England, where he created a garden of cherry varieties. In 1926, he learned that the Great White Cherry had become extinct in Japan. Six years later, he buried a living cutting from his own collection in a potato and repatriated it via the Trans-Siberian Express. In the years that followed, Ingram sent more than 100 varieties of cherry tree to new homes around the globe, from Auckland to Washington. As much a history of the cherry blossom in Japan as it is the story of one remarkable man, the narrative follows the flower from its adoption as a national symbol in 794, through its use as an emblem of imperialism in the 1930s, to the present-day worldwide obsession with forecasting the exact moment of the trees' flowering.

Giants of the Monsoon Forest: Living and Working with Elephants by Jacob Shell

High in the mountainous rainforests of Burma and India grow some of the world’s last stands of mature, wild teak. For more than a thousand years, people here have worked with elephants to log these otherwise impassable forests and move people and goods (often illicitly) under cover of the forest canopy. In Giants of the Monsoon Forest, geographer Jacob Shell takes us deep into this strange elephant country to explore the lives of these extraordinarily intelligent creatures. The relationship between elephant and rider is an intimate one that lasts for many decades. When an elephant is young, he or she is paired with a rider, who is called a mahout. The two might work together their entire lives. Though not bred to work with humans, these elephants can lift and carry logs, save people from mudslides, break logjams in raging rivers, and navigate dense mountain forests with passengers on their backs. Visiting tiny logging villages and forest camps, Shell describes fascinating characters, both elephant and human—like a heroic elephant named Maggie who saves dozens of British and Burmese refugees during World War II, and an elephant named Pak Chan who sneaks away from the Ho Chi Minh Trail to mate with a partner in a passing herd. We encounter an eloquent colonel in a rebel army in Burma’s Kachin State, whose expertise is smuggling arms and valuable jade via elephant convoy, and several particularly smart elephants, including one who discovers, all on his own, how to use a wood branch as a kind of safety lock when lifting heavy teak logs. Giants of the Monsoon Forest offers a new perspective on animal intelligence and reveals an unexpected relationship between evolution in the natural world and political struggles in the human one. Shell examines why the complex tradition of working with elephants has endured with Asian elephants, but not with their counterparts in Africa. And he shows us how Asia’s secret forest culture might offer a way to save the elephants. By performing rescues after major floods—as they did in the wake of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami—and helping sustainably log Asian forests, humans and elephants working together can help protect the fragile spaces they both need to survive.

Could we get some spicey head canons of the ninja couples. ( I mean Hokuto, Raizen, Momiji and Sakura with their partners.)

((But of course. I think I might have some for the young couples here. One moment and sorry this so late. With work and thinking of something I had to put this in drafts so I didn't lose anything. ^^;))

Silver butterfly mun/Peahen mom

~~Spicy NSFW Headcannons of the ninja couples~~

~~Hokuto and Hex~~

*Hokuto always loves to tease and play with his healing butterfly. Fingering him is the best thing so he can see him trying to be quiet while shaking and twitching under him. He even gotten used to teasing him with using other things to give pleasure.

*Hex is really good as giving oral if Hokuto asks for it, seeing him being on his knees happily bobbing his head makes the forest prince happy. Their was one time they did it in the forest under the giant trees and he was enjoying the view of his boyfriend.

*He tends to be really hard and rough with Hex when they have sex though Hokuto is always like that in bed. He tends to go rough while pounding into his butterfly. Hearing the moans and screams makes him look out of it.

*Hokuto loves to over stimulate Hex that he is a screaming wet mess from the over burn of pleasure. He even tries to ride him while taking his cock deeper and harder. He even enjoys marking his neck with hickies to prove he is the forest prince's lover.

~Hiroshi and Raizen~~

*Hiroshi tends to be gentle and careful so he's not scaring Raizen. He tends to go at a slow pace till his lover is comfortable with anything that might be a bit rough.

*He always loves seeing hos cute Raizen is when he enjoys kissing his favorite spots: his ears, the back of his neck, his cheek, and the lips. He tends to sometimes leave light nips and bites.

*Even if Raizen is shy, he sounds really cute when he's pleasuring him or even praising him for how good he is. He sees the red flushed expression on his lover's face only to feel him tighten up from that.

*He sometimes pleasures him but also hearing how flirty he might get if the mood is right. Raizen is a precious angel but he dose have his sensitive spots. That results in kissing him all over even against his chest and nipples.

*Kai always gets pleasure back from Raizen with kisses, touches, even him wanting to try new things. He wouldn't push him to but he wants Raizen to be comfortable.

~Momiji and Zen~~

*Momiji is always loved the feeling of pleasure from his mate but Zen always does his best when trying to make him feel good. However, he shows the pleasure of it.

*He loves giving oral to Momiji that he don't mind having this throat full of his mate's cock. He looks dazed but savoring the noises of his Momoiji's voice.

*He loves to have his hole eaten out by his lover but Zen is a whimpering wet mess to have precum spilling out from the tip to him only getting his cock pumped.

*They do have some soft loving done to rough hot sex but they love either or so they are alright with kisses at the end right after. He would always be sure he's full and not out. If some leaks out, Momoiji thrusts once more overstimulatng him as Zen is a crying whimpering mess.

*When either is in heat, they are wild animals in bed. Zen don't mind the rough treatment that he's screaming with glowing blue eyes while being taken or bitten by him. He's known for having the other panting heavily while Momiji's own eyes glow from the heat and desire.

~~Nobu and Sakura~~

*Sakura is a power bottom that she's always taking the lead when it's riding Nobu's cock to making him savor the pleasure and desire from her. He always becomes the precious shy lover even when he's doing that.

*He does follow every order she asks of him being him pleasuring her, eating her out, or taking her. Sakura is always happy no matter what. He even sees that she would try giving him oral at times that he was really shy because of it.

*He's rough with Sakura if she asks for it but most times, it's her always taking the lead hat he still would be really shy because of it. He loves showering her with love and praise. Being with kisses over her body and her lips. He loved her that much to see her happy.

*He lets her use toys and other things on him to feel pleasure or watching him squirming/whimpering as he is trying not to cum but that didn't work. It leaves him a crying mess cumming buckets for her.

*She enjoys making Nobu scream out as she is riding him but at times, she really goes harder and harder while feeling aroused. He has a kink of following her orders like a good boy and she loves this side of him.
