"dorian is not the perfect flawless dreamboat that will be a strong shoulder to cry on to all the pcs and fix all their traumas that all his fans insist he is" and "saying dorian is a pointless character with no real attachments to the plot that people only like for shipping content and 'he should just die already' is reductive at best and racist at worst" are two statements that can co-exist

おひさしぶりでございます。ことしも樹齢300年超のしだれ桜の撮影の機会を賜りましてバタバタしておりました。

本年もプレ点灯～初日の篠笛、一日雨天でお休みの後最終日はフェアトレードコーヒー＋篠笛おかわりとバラエティに富んだ内容を撮らせていただきました。やぁたのしい。

今年は想定よりも暖かかったせいであっという間に満開を迎えております。ライトアップはもう終了いたしておりますがお昼間はまだまだ見ごろでございますですよ。

Love your analysis! Can u drop some bi han headcanons (any romantic,platonic and general) I hate reading hcs where his abusive and kicks dogs in his free time.

A selection of random Bi-Han headcanons

Sorry, it took me a bit to respond to this ask, but I will happily write more about Bi-Han. I'm so tired of reading these out of character headcanons demonizing him, so here's some headcanons that I think make sense for his character. These are mostly random, so there's a little bit of everything. Enjoy!

General:

Bi-Han is a very attentive and observant person. He will immediately notice when someone he cares about is not feeling well and while he won't always address it, he will keep a close eye on them, so he can be there in case they need his help. Kuai Liang complains about having blisters? The next day he'll wake up to a brand new pair of boots on his doorstep. Tomas caught a cold? He will have tea and blankets brought to him in the morning. Bi-Han is not very good at expressing his feelings through words. He doesn't hug his brothers often or tells them that he loves them. His way of showing that he cares is through small gestures or gifts and by making sure his brothers are comfortable and have everything they need.

Taking care of a sick or injured Bi-Han requires patience. Lots of patience. Bi-Han is very stoic and will insist that he's fine until he literally collapses from blood loss or fatigue. In fact, he could be dying and no one around him would have a clue. Bi-Han doesn't like having people fuss over him, especially when there's more important matters to take care of. As the Lin Kuei's grandmaster, he knows that he can't afford to show weakness. He's far too stubborn to ask for help and there's only very few people he trusts enough to let himself be vulnerable around them. After his brothers betray him, he becomes even more closed off and reluctant to trust people.

Bi-Han enjoys literature and music. Only the few people close to him know this, but he loves to read whenever he's not occupied with his grandmaster duties and he's also quite skilled at playing the transverse flute, also called dizi, as well as the lute (pipa).

If asked, Bi-Han would deny that he has any fears, but his biggest fear is loss. Loss of control, the loss of his brothers, his fellow clan members, his partner... Ever since his mother's death, Bi-Han is constantly haunted by the fear of losing the things and people he cares about the most. Ironically, in his efforts to protect those things, he's beginning to lose some of them already, such as his brothers who have betrayed and abandoned him.

Bi-Han is a neat freak. Everything in his closet is sorted by color, he always keeps his desk organized and his room is tidy at all times. He doesn't like cluttered spaces because he finds them suffocating.

Much to the dismay of those who care about him, Bi-Han will often neglect his own needs, always putting the clan's interests above his own. He takes his grandmaster duties very seriously and would do anything for his Lin Kuei. After each mission, he will personally make sure that injured Lin Kuei warriors are taken to the infirmary while the rest of them are resting and recovering. Each time, he checks on his brothers and reminds them to eat and rest up before he even thinks about doing anything for himself.

Bi-Han with a partner:

Although he comes off as cold and distant at first glance, Bi-Han is actually very caring and affectionate deep down. He likes to hold his partner close after a long day, to provide them safety and comfort while he listens to them talk about their own day. He would run his fingers through their hair and smile, feeling content and happy to be with the person he loves the most.

In public, Bi-Han would rarely show affection. He's simply too worried that his partner could become a target for his enemies if anyone saw how important they are to him.

Bi-Han would be very supportive of his partner's goals and dreams, always encouraging and motivating them every step of the way. He knows better than anyone else what it feels like to receive no support for one's ambitions and he wouldn't want his partner to ever feel that way too.

Bi-Han is a workaholic. Whether he's training new initiates or going through paperwork in his office, he rarely takes a break from his duties. When he's hurt or upset after an argument, his coping mechanism is to drown himself in even more work and keep himself busy and distracted from his feelings. It wouldn't be easy to get him to communicate and just talk things out instead, but in time, he would get there. Bi-Han knows that he's a flawed man, but he would never want his partner to feel lonely or unloved and he would appreciate them for refusing to give up on him.

Usually, Bi-Han doesn't like it when people touch his hair, but he would make an exception for his partner. He would even let them braid it and style it however they want. Bi-Han's hair used to be longer than it is now and the few stubborn strands that always escape his bun are a result of him cutting his own hair with an ice dagger. Some strands ended up too short to be tucked away inside the bun and it bothers him a little sometimes. If his partner insisted on it, Bi-Han wouldn't mind growing his hair out a bit again.

Tash, I've recently thought the most random headcanon for Cadence of Hyrule and Linked Universe and i wanted to share XD The jist of it is that, if the Chain ever pops out in the world of CoH (and the song curse is back, because of course it is), when the Chain goes to introduce themselves the full Hero's theme fanfare, 25th anniversary's concert style, goes off. Full blast. The majority of the Chain is mortified. Minus Wind, Wind adores it. (But when he goes to present himself finds out that he has his own, which is a much more delicate version made with a transverse flute.) It's so stupid, but i find it so funny XD

They are all like OUGIYTFRRYDFTUHFDRYFGJ WHERE IS THE MUSIC COMING FROM

While Cadence is just like. So tired. So very tired. Because of COURSE this is happening. Of COURSE.

ALL ABOUT MY OC:

author's notes on pink

Name actually: Nicodorium D. Akane.

current age: 22

She's Shanks adopted daugther, and is part of the Redhair Pirates. extremely loyal to Shanks.

biologically the daughter of a vice-admiral.

She was born on an island in the East Blue.

She is part of the lost group "elementals"

I created this "race", I don't know how to call this, but basically this Group, can control a basically element, water, wind, fire and land, and in each sea (East Blue, North Blue, South Blue, West Blue) there is an elemental island.

And in them the devil fruits of each element probably originated primarily. (Mera Mera no mi, Kaze Kaze no mi, Mizu Mizu no mi and Tochi Tochi no mi) and whoever is born on one of these islands can control a certain element (example: if you are born on the island of fire, you control fire and speak with spirite of fire.)

location of the elemental islands:

Water island, South Blue.

Flame island, North Blue.

Land Island:

West Blue. Wind Island: East Blue.

These islands were hunted by the world government, for helping pirates and for having a relationship with the Poneglyphs. three islands were exterminated, leaving only the one in East Blue.

The name of the island she lived on was Kazemandia. only pirates knew about the island. That's why the world government sent Akane's parents to infiltrate the island for six years. Akane was born on this island, so she is an elemental. She had a lot of potential, and from the moment she learned to speak she heard the voice of the wind. she learned archery from her parents and to play the flute from the natives.

At the time, her parents were navy captains under orders from Admiral Sengoku. when the time was right they issued the Buster Call. Several vice admirals were called, including, at the time, Vice Admiral Kizaru.

Akane fled the village, going to the coast and hiding among the rocks, she thought her parents had died.

She looked through the crack at a man dressed in a navy robe, along with two other marines.

Her parents.

They went to the navy ship, and a yellow light appeared, decimating the entire village.

Luckily, the place she hid was not hit, but she could see the island in flames, her parents kill the people who welcomed them. You didn't move for three days straight. She was hungry, thirsty, with heatstroke, she will die in some days. When she feels a cold hand on your forehead and nothing after this... she was rescued for Shanks and his crew, As he already been in the Pirate King's ship, he knows all about that island, as Gol D. Roger had already been in Kazemandia, years ago.

Heyy I"m gonna make a post telling this story 'bout Akane meeting the red Haired pirates and Uta <333333

Her personality:

She is so educated (Shanks teach her omgg) even with the enemies, in marine she reffers to him based in his patent (Adimiral Aokiji, Fleet Adimiral Sengoku/Akainu, Vice Adimiral Garp) always when she talked, the only people she's dirrespect is her biological father, Kizaru and Teach.

She absolutely loves greeted fish (especialy if it was made by Lucky Roux)

She calls Red Haired pirates officals to Uncles (Uncle Yasopp, Uncle Beck, Uncle Hongo) except Monster.

She calls Rayleigh and Shakky like this.

She has three types of haki, but the most advanced is observation haki. (she's a shooter, Yasopp's apprentice, omggg)

Despite being super polite, she has very short patience. (Shanks sees Buggy in her)

she has a pet eagle. A female. her name is Komodoro.

she and Monster fight A LOT, and when it's not Akane who's fighting with him, it's Komodoro.

She is a very powerful archer, she uses Haki in the post-timeskip to coat her arrows but in the pre-timeskip she had arrows coated in Kairoseki.

One of her weapons (in addition to the bow) is a transverse flute, and she is a great flutist, with the flute she can create super strong wind waves, and shape them however she wants.

She can imitate the power of almost all paramecia-type Devil Fruits (almost like Katakuri does with his Devil Fruit, ).

She learns very quickly, in the middle of a battle, for example, she can imitate an attack in a matter of seconds. (she learned how to use Kamusari, the move originating from Gol D. Roger that Shanks used to stop Kid's attack)

I'm going to release a one-shot of her with Ace. I don't know when but I'll do it.

Autumn Nightbloom

My MC for Blades of Light and Shadow/Blades 2

Autumn's portrait by the incredibly talented @lilyoffandoms 💛💛💛

Autumn is an elf raised by humans in the small town of Riverbend, along with her adopted brother Kade.

Initially, she knows nothing about her culture and heritage. She feels like a bit of an outsider in the small Riverbend community and would love to understand better who she is and where she's from. Tyril is the first of her kind she’s ever met. With his help and guidance, she gradually learns more about her cultural roots, though she comes to find elven society too rigid and insular. She is very much a “human” in her worldview and belief system.

After meeting the goblins in Blades 2 and learning more about her family’s sacrifice to protect them during the Elven war against the Shadow Court, she chooses to honor them and adopts the Nightbloom name.

Physical appearance: She is an elf, fair-skinned, blond hair, and light purple eyes.

Personality: Autumn is very curious, with a thirst for knowledge and an adventurer at heart. Growing up, she always dreamed of traveling the realms, meeting interesting people and going on quests, just like the heroes Kade would tell her about in his stories. She is a very caring and loyal friend – not afraid to jump into danger to protect the ones she loves. She is charismatic and uses her seduction skills to get out of many sticky situations – to her friends’ amusement and Mal's occasional exasperation. She is witty and banters with friends and enemies alike. While she is quick to trust, she is slow to forgive – and forget – betrayals, particularly when they affect her friends and loved ones. (Autumn is still working through her anger at Aerin and Valax’s betrayals, though she allies with them for the greater good.) Always very independent, Autumn had never dreamed of getting married or starting a family. Meeting Mal and choosing to run the orphanage with him was an unexpected blessing. Now she couldn't imagine her life without him or the children.

Hobbies: Autumn grew up reading about famous adventurers of the realm and fantasy novels. She still enjoys a good book whenever she can indulge in free time. She enjoys a night out at the pub, drinking and dancing the night away with her friends. Autumn is musically inclined, she learned to play the transverse flute and piccolo growing up. She now plays mostly to entertain her friends and the children at Mal's orphanage. (It's also a much safer alternative to Mal's singing!!) She is a horrible cook but compensates with excellent foraging skills.

Fighting skills: Autumn is skilled with the bow and sword and will practise both for hours to hone her skills. She'll often run through her Kai'tar movements early in the morning as a form of meditation. As an elf Autumn is magically inclined. She practices her skills regularly in the hopes of becoming a powerful battlemage. She also spends much time with Nia learning the secrets of healing magic.

Languages: In addition to the common language of Morella, Autumn learnt the elven language with the help of Tyril in order to read the old manuscripts and understand her house's history and that of Undermount. She is now learning Spanish to better understand Mal and Wren's cultural roots.

Love interests: Autumn was attracted to Mal from the moment she met him not that she'll ever admit that to him. She felt drawn in by his charm and flirty banter, and a little star-struck initially that he was an established adventurer, living the life she had always dreamed of for herself. Her feelings for him deepened as Mal gradually opened up to her, showing vulnerability and more of his authentic self hidden beneath all his charm and cockiness. They also share many of the same opinions regarding the authoritarian nature of the political and religious systems within Morella, and disgust at the elite’s abuse of the common folk. Autumn chose to create a life with Mal at the end of Blades 1, and to help him run the orphanage after Blades 2. She accompanies him on his heists, partly to keep him out of trouble, but also because she needs a bit of danger and adventure to feel truly alive. Also, she'll never waste an opportunity to stick it to the rich & powerful, and redistribute wealth along with the love of her life!

She was also drawn to Tyril when they first met, though that connection quickly blossomed into one of friendship and respect. She was initially intrigued by his stoic and reserved nature, impressed by his remarkable fighting skills and deep sense of honor. And his devotion to his lost friend Kaya. Autumn was also curious to learn more about elven culture and felt a sort of kinship from the moment they allied. She panicked when he was injured in the undermount catacombs, and realized her concern for him ran deep.

Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell

.

@anjo-by-the-sea

People have been making flutes for over 35,000 years now. How difficult can it be?

Before COVID, I used to attend "Flute Circles" in the area west of the Rocky Mountains in North America. Mostly, it is or was people who play Native American flute sitting around playing for and with each other. I was playing a transverse flute made from bamboo by fellow in Portland Or. I have a pinched nerve in my neck, and playing transverse flute was causing me to grind on it badly. Lots of pain and numbness in my right hand.

One of the flute players who came to circle one day was plaing Xiao (Pronounced more like Sow) and had imported a few to sell. In an attempt to escape the pain but continue to play I made the switch.

Over time the flutes cracked and broke. My sweetie decided I was spending too much money on flutes and needed to start making my own. This is now the 3rd flute, maybe my 4th that I've made for myself. It is also my cane, when I walk outside my home it goes with me. The last one broke because of water problems. I was using it to help as I was wading in the local river looking for agates and petrified wood.

It is a learning curve. You have to construct or improvise your own tools as you learn. The rest of the question is I'm a life long learner. I built a simple flat file driven object oriented database at work when I did work back in the day. There is a reason I place such value on questions. I can ask assorted public databases and learn an assortment of things that I find Interesting.

I wanna learn to play transverse flute!

WHERE OUR BLUE IS

INTRODUCTION

masterlist

THE PIED PIPER : OKUMOTO SHOJI

NAME: Okumoto Shoji (Seiko's brother)

AGE: 20

GRADE: Special grade jujutsu sorcerer

CURSED TECHNIQUE: Wavelength

By manipulating the frequency of waves outputted by his flute, Shoji is able to use pure cursed energy to defeat his opponents. He has 2 applications of his cursed technique.

1: Succession - his cursed technique works as longitudinal waves. He plays a melody on his flute, and each combination of notes gives off a different frequency. The higher the frequency, the more cursed energy is put out. This is completely pure cursed energy. A drawback to this is that the sequence gets longer as the frequency increases. This gives his opponents a chance to attack.

2: Hypnosis - His cursed technique is similar to the pied piper as he can entice people with his melody. This is a set melody that doesn't change, so it is recognisable by sound.

He uses his flute as a staff in combat and is very experienced with close-range fighting.

His reversed cursed technique allows for transverse waves to be made. he is able to generate any wave on the electro magnetic spectrum and use them for their commercial uses (e.g, x-rays to see inside his opponents)
