Plant of the Day

Saturday 18 December 2021

At The Newt, Somerset, a Miscanthus sinensis cultivar (eulalia, Chinese silver grass) creates waves of texture. The clump-forming, deciduous perennial grass is wonderful in the winter and needs to be cut back in early spring before the new shoots start to grow.

Calligraphy

Hi!

Just a really short, like 15 minutes thingy.

No editing.

Pairing: Minhoxfem!originalcharacter

POV: Maria

Warnings: None, lol floof

Word Count:

Enjoy :)

*****

"Whatcha doin' there?" I asked, leaning over Minho's shoulder

It looked like some sort of letter. A scroll of dark paper, words written neatly in black ink.

The writing didn't match Minho's though.

He jumped when I spoke, scrambling to cover up whatever the paper was.

Maybe this is that smut scroll Thomas told me about?

"uh- uh- nothing- just- a thing-" He stuttered, giving me a panicked and awkward smile.

I placed my hand on his shoulder and looked into his eyes, "Listen Minho. This is completely natural. And I understand if-"

I guessed I was wrong when his face contorted into disgust.

"No! Maria! This is not the smut scroll-" His eyes flickered back and forth, hand gestures going everywhere.

"Ok! Ok! Sorry!" I laughed, "So what is it shank?"

"Well- I- uh-" He began to stumble over his words again, "Here."

Minho uncovered the paper and handed it to me.

I found a paragraph of sentences in a nice manuscript.

Maria

Maria is nice.

Maria is beautiful.

Maria is my best friend.

Maria is lovely.

Maria is wonderful.

Maria makes me laugh.

I like Maria.

"Minho?- Did you?" I look up to meet his eyes

"Learn some calligraphy for you? Yea," He rubbed the back of his neck, "It's really stupid I know, I'm a shuck-faced slinthead. But you said you liked calligraphy, so I just thought- Never mind. It's klunk."

He began to take the paper from me, obviously embarrassed, and the red on his cheeks only growing.

"No! No!," I tugged back, "Minho I love it!"

His head snapped up, features shocked, "Really?"

"Of course! It's so sweet of you! I'm so flattered!"

"Well..." He rubbed the back of his neck, ego puffing a bit, "Yea"

I patted his adorable smiling face, "I'm taking this with me"

*****

So uhm yea.

I literally wrote this in 15 minutes.

It's completely unedited so sorry for any mistakes :)

Thanks

Love you

~ R xx

#nowdrinking #TheNewt #Dry #Somerset #Cyder (7.0%) from #Bruton - Tastes like tangy apple with a slice of freshly peeled green skin with toasty burnt caramel coming through midway. The skin comes back in the finish which gives some sourness. It’s well balanced and I’m pleased that it’s so much better than their fine cyder/white wine 750ml I tried which almost put me off this producer... almost! 👍🏽 #nd #newtcyder #drycider #ciderspftheuk #ciderORcyder #somersetcider #ukcider #purejuice #nicedayforit #hadspenhouse #cider #ciderweather https://www.instagram.com/p/CNC4rD8Fcqz/?igshid=1dt97lqy5z9l2

I got this Art request from @thenewt-case awhile ago but i finally could finish it ^^

I'm really proud of this drawing i think it's one of my best drawings so far of this year

[newt-and-salamander]

As I thought a lot about Theseus recently, I figured I will just go on and make a list of reasons why I think he is (not!) going to die. Maybe I’m a tiny bit biased by my wishful thinking here but... here we go!

Reasons Theseus might die in one of the next films:

He was introduced to us in FBAWTFT as “Theseus Scamander? The war hero?”. This might already indicate his role during the whole series, being a hero – probably this includes dying as one. [I think this is something @thenewt-case said to me.]

He is close to Newt – his death might motivate Newt to take higher risks and give him another strong personal reason to fight if he feels like his family and friends are threatened.

I get the impression that he is a rather popular character, so there would be a strong emotional response from the audience for sure. I'm not sure if you could call it a shock as people certainly already partly anticipate his death.

JKR likes tearing apart families – especially siblings. (The Dumbledores, the Lestranges, the Goldsteins if you count Queenie's change of loyalties... the Potters, the Weasleys, the Prewetts, the Blacks (x2 if you count Sirius and Regulus and Andromeda, Bellatrix and Narcissa twice), the Evans, the Creevies, … I didn’t even really think this through, I’m sure there are more to add.)

Somebody might need to sacrifice themselves for Newt at some point of the story because he’s the protagonist. [This might be a weak reason.] Theseus definitely loves his brother and might be ready to accept death for him (although he much rather would prefer not to die).

Reasons Theseus is definitely not going to die, don’t even think of it! (I will begin with counter-arguments to some of the points mentioned above):

Theseus is not stupid and very capable in his job. He is one of the few people that survived Grindelwald’s attack in Paris (although this was partly due to Newt apparating him away, but still he’s clearly a very powerful wizard and a brilliant fighter). Being a hero doesn’t necessarily involve dying, right?

As @occamyeggshells pointed out in my post about Pickett, at this point after CoG Newt has already decided he will fight and doesn’t need another motivation to move against Grindelwald. Leta’s death was enough for him to make up his mind. In fact, it might have been seeing Theseus alive and miserable that led to Newt's decision to join his side. There is no "necessity" for him to lose Theseus.

Him being a popular character might also spare him (although I’m not sure if JKR cares a lot about this). I’m not sure if popularity with the audience is any kind of argument at all to predict if a character is going to die if I'm honest.

We have already seen families torn apart in CoG – not only the Lestranges but, maybe even more important, the Goldsteins. Although Queenie didn’t die, there is a lot of heartbreak, mistrust and disappointment between the sisters. So there's lots of potential room to explore this.

Even if somebody might sacrifice themselves for Newt, Theseus isn’t the only option. (Bunty, I’m looking at you! ...but please don't die either, thanks.)

Okay, now some original arguments:

As I already mentioned before, Newt is (supposed to be) the protagonist and I feel like Theseus’ death would hit him too hard. There is no use in showing a protagonist who is grief-stricken over a long time because it's just no fun. And although Newt and Theseus might not have the warmest of relationships, it's clear that there is a lot of love between them regardless.

If they want to show how the loss of a loved persons influences those who fight in the war, Theseus himself (alive!) is the best example. What will the loss of Leta do to him? I feel like he will get even more determined, maybe bitter. Leta was very important to Newt as well, so her death can show us how both brothers handle the loss - in quite different ways I suppose.

Regarding Newt’s character development, in my opinion it would be much more interesting to show how Newt and Theseus finally start to get along, how what happened in Paris makes them bond and finally look out for each other. It is clear that Newt and Theseus didn’t get along perfectly in the past and they most likely won’t in the future, and it’s not too easy for Newt to connect with other people ��� that’s why I think that him and Theseus getting closer would be more valuable a development than just taking Theseus away.

Theseus is a high-ranked ministry official. He has inside information and could therefore be very valuable for the plot. Also, the corruption and political change of the society could be pointed out through his eyes. These are things Newt is not so much interested in.

I see a lot of reasons Theseus could get along with Tina and Jacob very well. It has been pointed out several times that there seem to be lots of parallels between Tina and Theseus, so I will concentrate on Jacob: They both have lost their fiancée, plus Jacob lost a brother in the war, so maybe he can understand that Theseus often behaves patronizing, out of concern for Newt. (But I’m not sure if this can be counted as an argument to let Theseus live. It rather shows how he could come in regarding the group's dynamic from my pov.)

Through his eyes, we learn to see Newt from a different perspective: He can be rather annoying and stubborn, something that didn’t become so clear in the first film when we didn’t see his behavior towards Theseus. I feel like Theseus' perspective adds depth to Newts character (and Newt should be the protagonist!!) and I love it.

I'm sure there is a loooot more to say about this, but that's what came to my mind this afternoon. Also, some of these points are influenced by conversations I had with several people, and I can’t remember who said what (but I think in general points were made by @thenewt-case, @occamyeggshells, @scamanderishredmayniac and @raztberry – so please feel free to complain if you feel like I should credit you or if I forgot sb.!).

@thenewt-case

Thank you! 🥺 I'm glad you liked it!!

I also hope to see more of Newt and Theseus’ relationship. I'm a sucker for some good sibling relationships ngl.

You’ve Been Hurting For a Long Time

Some days, when he sees someone on the street that looks just a little too like Graves, that makes his blood run cold. He’s quick to apparate home then, trembling hands trying desperately to open the front door until he remembers that the door is locked, and he’ll pull out his wand and wordlessly unlock it, slamming the door shut behind him. He stumbles into the flat, breathing so fast he feels light-headed. That he might pass out right then and there.

And the panicked feeling of; “This is it. He’s going to die. He’s going to die. He’s going to—”

Newt rides it out on the floor of his empty London flat, with only Pickett as company who chirps at him with concern, unable to do much to help him.

Read on Ao3

It’s a testament to how lonely he really is that he doesn’t even notice it until he’s alone again. New York had been an adventure he’d not forget any time soon. He’d spent a little under two weeks in the city, and yet it had made a larger impact on him than any place he’d ever been. And he had been all over the world.

As the boat had made its way to London Newt spent his time taking care of the creatures in his case. He’d kept himself busy as the journey had dragged on.

Theseus greets him at the docks. He welcomes him home with a tight hug and a pat on the back. He takes him home and they eat dinner together. He wants Newt to be his best man at his and Leta’s wedding. He tells him he’s proud of him and wishes him good luck on the book. Then he leaves for the night.

And suddenly Newt is alone again.

In the winter evergreen ferns can add interest to a garden. At The Newt, Somerset, UK, a wide range of fern species are used in shaded areas such as the north side of walls and underneath the tree canopy.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2018 3PM

Seattle native Ted Vigil returns to The Newton Theatre for his annual tribute to John Denver in a family fun Christmas Special.

“I do it as a tribute, not as a first person (impersonator),” said Vigil. “I met a sound engineer and a pilot that knew him. They said I should seriously do a tribute show, with my voice and my look. I really switched gears. Some of his music has a rock feel, some of his music has a pop feel. I went to Aspen and I met some of the people he worked with. I met his mother and I met his brother. I really got a feel for his inspiration and what he was about."

Ted has performed at John Denver’s own “Windstar Foundation” in Aspen, Colorado with the late Steve Wiesberg, John Denver’s lead guitar player from 2010 to 2014. Wiesberg  said “Apparently the audience thinks they all look and sound like John. I don’t see it. I see it with Ted. A very strong physical resemblance… Uncanny!”  

The most heard comments after a Ted Vigil show are “I can’t believe how much he looks and sounds like John Denver! It really took us back!” A long-time Denver fan commented they were “completely blown away by Ted Vigil. From the moment he set foot on the stage, I was mesmerized by his voice and his incredible resemblance to the late and great John Denver.”

So Tumblr is filtering out NSFW content

A good chunk of my blog is NSFW so whatever happens happens. This blog was definitely multipurpose for me including using references which were in fact NSFW. Now I’m frustrated cause it’s going to be hard finding what I’m looking for. 

ANYWAY

You can find me on Wattpad under InfiniteTeal and TheNewTeal. I am also on Ao3 for my fan fictions. I also have an Inkitt account as well.

If you want, you can follow me on my personal social media, but I don’t post a lot of anime, fandom content, or NSFW content on either accounts. I’m considering following artists or making another twitter so I can keep up with what’s going on in a few fandoms but I don’t know yet. If you would like to follow me on my personal accounts you can ask and I'll be happy to give it to you.  I also might make a separate Twitter just for all my anime and nsfw content since all of my favorite artists are moving as well, but more on that when I actually make the Twitter.

There have been a few platforms circulating around that may be an alternative to Tumblr. I can’t really say much about any of them yet since I don’t know that much, and I’m not even sure if I would move or not. 

Here are some posts about Pillowfort: x x x

Piczel.tv

Other Alternatives

I have also reblogged a few posts about Pillowfort and other platforms that people are switching to. Right now, I’m not sure I will move to another platform yet and I probably won’t delete this blog either. I might turn it into a pet blog where it’s just cute animal things and whatnot. 

Hope to see y’all on the flip side

[newt-and-salamander]

Ooohh, thank you for tagging me! :D I'm a bit nervous tbh, because everbody who hasn't already guessed will now know I'm a weird person, but this is tumblr, so I guess it's okay. :)

Favourite colour: Green!

Currently watching: The Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett, produced by Granada from 1884-1994. ... and the birds outside my window. :)

Currently reading: Uhm ... Sherlock Holmes? Don't judge me for my hyperfixations. :D I don't have much time to read, though, so I'm only at "The Man with the Twisted Lip".

Currently listening to: Johannes Brahms, Piano Trio No. 3 in C Minor ... Can't listen to anything with lyrics if I want to do anything else at the same time because I'm terrible at multi tasking. :D

Last series: Good Omens. :D Saw a lot of people talking about it, but it didn't really stick with me tbh, though it was all right.

Last movie: ... Grease. Yep.

Sweet/spicy/savoury: I don't know, all of them? It depends on the time of day. I love spicy food, but I would never have it for breakfast. However, I was told I'm the only person who likes sweet pancakes for dinner (this can't be true, there has to be another), so maybe I should go with sweet. :)

Currently working on: A term paper and some organisational stuff for work (it's Saturday! :,( ). And the next chapter for my Fantastic Beasts fic which should be uploaded today... hopefully.

Tagging: Um, I'm not sure who's already been tagged, and I haven't been very active on this blog lately, so I will go with @occamyeggshells, @thenewt-case and @literary-creature - and as always, everyone else who feels like reblogging. :) Thanks for tagging me, @scamanderishredmayniac! :)

About Me Tag

Tag people you want to know better

Thank you for tagging me @its-vannah I was supposed to do this ages ago, got distracted and completely forgot till now. Oops!! Warning in advance, I never take quizzes too seriously so expect silly answers.

Favourite colour: Too telling!

Currently watching: Oh that’s taking multitasking too far, I mean I haven’t worked out how to type answers to quizzes and watching something at the same time. 😝 So your answer is nothing right now.

Currently reading: Well I’m reading quite a few books simultaneously, and have 3 published books on the go, and a few fan fictions on the go. So which one do you want to know about exactly? I think it’s safe to say this one’s a hard one to answer. 🙈

Currently listening to: Nothing really, apart from the sounds of the house, and every thought that pops into my head. Its late night, or early morning so not much to hear at witching hour.

Last series: Ok last series watched and haven’t finished? Or last series watched and finished?

Last movie: Fantastic Beasts The secrets Of Dumbledore. That one’s too obvious, but I love that film. ❤️

Sweet/spicy/savoury: It has to be sweet, because you know they say you are what you eat, and I’m sweet, sweet, sweet. 😂 or so I like to think anyway. 😝

Currently working on: A few Fantastic beasts fan fics, and a severus snape one, and a few Harry potter series which has gone into hiatus. Oops!!!

Tagging: @snapeysister @mythrielofsolitude @amywilliamsaccmp @brontewillow @newt-and-salamander @ruxiecat121 and anyone else who wants to play. To be honest I want to get to know everyone who interacts with me on here, but I’m afraid of tagging everyone because they might come after me with the keyboard. Lol! I’m not willing to risk virtually stepping on people’s toes if they don’t like these tag games.

Well I guess the only thing you guys are learning of me is that I am a cheeky sod and have a cheeky personality, and that tagging me and me playing these games is probably going to get you nowhere. Lol1 Listen in my defence Eddie says he values humour in his friendships, so I think you all should do the same if you’re true Eddie fans and you should just accept my humour. Lol! 😂😝
