Thinking Like a Mountain (2019) / dir. Alexander Hick

If she wasn't here, everything would be different. There would be a bridge over the lake... — ...and restaurants at the shore… — It would be a swimming pool. — Even we would come to see it out of curiosity... — ...and think it's a perfect place. — Yes, and we would hope that they will buy our bags...

WAIT when did he get FANGS

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #brushie brushie #i thought i was imagining it but i have compared screenshots and it is true #they gave him a bunch of new animations and just decided to throw some fangs in there too!#unless this is an earlier thing i just missed because i don't pay attention (very possible)#anyway i decided to do one last ten-pull and THERE HE WAS #and his personal story is SO unexpectedly cute oh my gosh #at any given moment crewel is thinking about how much he misses his dog(s)#it is CANON #canon like the fangs (why) (i'm not complaining i just want to KNOW)#get you a fandom where they randomly and with no explanation give a character fangs I GUESS #anyway thank you sensei for validating the mountain of keys i threw into the void for you #i'd assumed he'd duo with grim so it is unfortunate that it turned out to be with a card i don't have and will probably never get 🙃#but it is VERY funny actually that he duos with crowley so i'll forgive him #the only funnier character would be jack #OR NO WAIT actually leona #'which character would be the funniest to --' the answer is always. ALWAYS. leona

I love "i would kill for you" ship dynamics but what about "i would stop killing" ship dynamic??

I would lay down my sword for you. I would change my nature and go against everything i've known. I would resist the easy way out of solving my problems. I would give up the adrenaline of battle to stay by your side and make tea instead. I'm not sure I know who I am without a weapon in my hand because I've had to fight for so long but for you I'm willing to try and figure this out.

It must be hard. To put down your weapon that's protected you for so long. It's allowed you to stay alive it's kept you from getting hurt--physically and mentally. Because you've never had to worry about a real relationship if you think you'll be dead at the next battle. And you feel naked without it and it feels like you're ripping off an extension of yourself. Are you even whole without it? Are you worthy of being loved if you can't prove it by risking your life? And yet they've found someone who's asking them for something much harder than dying in battle on their behalf. They've found someone who wants them to live. And that's much more terrifying.

#i know this sounds like the 'bad guy falls for good guy' which can be fun but thats not what i mean #anyway. this wasn't quite zukka but i do think it aligns with my au of zuko not dying on the throne and sokka retiring his sword to paint #and living like piandao in the mountains. urging zuko to retire and zuko no longer needing fire bending and not knowing what to do with #himself if he doesnt have to fight #so he uses his bending to make tea instead :)#aka this is how divorced zukka can still get together #zuko being upset bc sokka chose work over them in the first place but so dodnhe #but he gets a second chance in retirement #if he can give it up

the fact that they made the gameplay mechanics actually lean more on solving puzzles and strategy because her element is wisdom

#I LIKE THAT A LOT ACTUALLY like that makes a lot of sense #thats not saying link doesnt use his head in dungeons but when u play as him it relies a lot on physical ability #even botw and totk with the scaling mountains and stuff feels like smth you can’t exactly do as zelda #or at least it would feel a little out of character??#so this is a really nice change of pace I can’t wait to play it #OH AND THEY KEPT THE BOTW ZORA DESIGNS I think this works way better to tell them apart from river zora #yapping #echoes of wisdom #loz #loz echoes of wisdom #Nintendo direct

Flower Empowered.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #lan wunian #The absolute chaos that ensued when Lan Wangji showed up...those girls went wild.#We have to give kudos to narration that takes the form of a bunch of suitor seeking ladies.#They were so loud about being here for the hotties and whispering gossip. You go girls.#Wei Wuxian most likely just picked up a already tossed flower to throw. Second hand flowers...are still flowers I suppose.#Can you imagine if LWJ had allergies? Poor lad.#Okay it's time for the real gritty discussion point. The one everyone is waiting for me to talk about:#So...from where we are in the timeline...what the hell is WWX supposed to be wearing?#I'm serious. Put all the fanart out of your brain for a moment.#We are post burial grounds and sunshot campaign so he's had his little goth moment reveal.#*BUT* he is still with the Jiang sect. And by proxy of this flashback talking about his disrespect - they never bring up his attire.#meaning he is likely in some kind of Jiang Purple.#Continuity wise it really feels like this scene should have been *before* the burial mounds.#I understand why it's post - we need to build up on the mystery of how he became the YLLZ.#But also his personality feels way more 'pre-burial mounds WWX'. I think this was probably a 'I don't want to kill my darling' scene.#(The Phoenix mountain flashback is a lot of people's 'darling'. I am knowingly putting myself in the line of fire here).#I'm willingly putting him in Wen Qing's borrowed cloak and assuming people take him wearing it as like...a war trophy.#Historians will revise this moment later on but for now he *is* a hero of that war.

Recently I’ve been reading Kui Ryoko’s fantasy short stories, and they’re all fantastic! Highly recommend that all Dungeon Meshi fans (and fantasy fans in general) check out her other works:

Terrarium in a Drawer

The Dragon’s School is on Top of the Mountain

The Works of Ryoko Kui: Seven Little Sons of the Dragon

#I think Seven Little Sons was my favorite! the pages above are from that one. my fav story was the last one :)#dungeon Meshi #delicious in dungeon #Kui Ryoko #terrarium in a drawer #the dragon’s school is on top of the mountain #seven little sons of the dragon #fun talk tag #I really like Kui Ryoko’s storytelling and concepts. her fantasies always feel grounded no matter how silly #and she does serious and bittersweet works really well too. such a talented artist!#edit: added the cover art too since it's all great!

Fashion of the Great Houses of Westeros: House Arryn of the Eyrie

#asoiafedit #valyrianscrolls #valyriansource #asoiafsnet #housearrynedit #arrynedit #house arryn #asoiaf fashion #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #ghf*#mine*#alrighty roo so for this one I was thinking we’ve still got thick fabrics and head coverings like the baratheons #but silhouettes are more loose and floaty with long sleeves and lots of layers #the vee neckline of the burgundian (but not burgundian bc this is westeros) is very popular #because it’s reminiscent of an (inverted) mountain #women wear hennins or other headdresses that have excess fabric that catch in the breeze while still keeping their hair out of the way #and when the weather gets colder fur and visible chemises start appearing #500*

ok this sounds insane but in 2018 i went to a few carnivorous plant talks at the botany conference in minnesota. i got caught up in conversation with one of the guys there who was a huge nepenthes guy who told me a story about another collector in the pacific northwest who'd been buying poached plants, like a huge amount, and eventually got staked out by the fish and wildlife service and arrested and had all his plants seized and went to prison for it. idk if i ever talked about this on this blog before-- i know i liveblogged a lot from that conference but cant remember what all i posted-- but ive avoided talking about it since then because i was never able to find like, news articles or anything covering it, but behold.... we now have proof it was real, and im like 80% sure this was this guy he was talking about. the raid happened in 2016 and they'd been staking them out since 2013. he had nearly 400 plants and had been sourcing many of them from poachers in indonesia and borneo.

remember folks: poaching happens with plants too! it's a huge problem not only in carnvirous plants (nepenthes especially, which this piece is dedicated to talking about) but also in native plant populations in the US, including native carnivorous plant populations (north and south carolina's venus fly traps, california's darlingtonia, and sarracenia from the east coast), native orchids (historically one of the most poached categories), desert plants/cacti/succulents, and slow-growing woody ornamentals (cycads, for example). never buy bare-root plants off ebay or facebook! your best bet is local nurseries (which usually purchase farm-raised plants that do well in a wide range of conditions, and as a result have a healthy population in the wild) or specialty greenhouses (more expensive, but at least in the case of carnivorous plants offer young plants bred from established adult plants in-house, raised in captivity).

#super sad piece fellas like this shit guts me i cant even stress it enough #stories about nepenthes poaching hit different #there are hundreds of species #some are really common and widespread all over indonesia/china/japan/oceania #and some are like. super hyperadapted to one specific ridge on one specific mountain #theyre still being recorded and stuff because theyve speciated so much #so youll have a plant that has like. a max of 15 adults in the population at any given time. literally a nightmare scenario #AND theyre diaceous (there are male plants and female plants). doesnt seem like a problem until you think about the population dynamics #there not only has to be two plants but the plants have to be a male and a female #and people living there have reason to take them. like the poacher interviewed in this article does it to supplement his income #from working at a horrifying rubber production ordeal to feed his wife and kids #and he says everyone in his village does the same for the same reasons #nightmare!! nightmare!! nightmare horrible nightmare world!!! horrible fucking nightmare!!!!#nepenethes #carnivorous plants #poaching #conservation
