sorry for the intrusion, Shibusawa. But based on what Dazai told me, I’d really like to know what you don’t like about me.

Prehistoric necklace made of cut and polished seashells. Dated between 4500 and 4000 BC (Neolithic), it measures 284 cm. It was found in the Neolithic necropolis of Mas de Seròs II (Terres de l’Ebre, Catalonia).

Seashells and snails have been used since Prehistory to create personal ornaments, as well as for food. They were very common in seaside sites, but also in inland ones thanks to trading networks.

In the burial sites of the early sedentary communities found in the territory of modern-day Catalonia, it’s very common to find the bodies of men, women, and children are buried with grave goods, usually consisting on ceramic vases, cut flint-stone tools or polished stone tools, and body ornaments. Necklaces, pendants, and bracelets made of seashells are interpreted as status symbols, that during their lives were used as prestigious objects, presents, and as trading tokens (equivalent to what coins will be some millennia later). For this reason, ornaments made of seashells and sea corals have been found in inland areas very far away from the sea.

Strawberry squid (Histioteuthis heteropsis)

Photo by Paul Caiger @ Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

One of my favorite creatures ever!! 🦑･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

These beautiful elegant creatures are found in the tropical/subtropical waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. They live in the Mesopelagic zone which is often also referred to as the “twilight zone.”

Strawberry squid can be found between depths of from 1,000 meters (3300 feet) and the surface, where they go at night to feed

The photophores within the tissues of their skin produce a distinctive bioluminescent flashing glow which attracts prey. That’s why they look bedazzled!

Strawberry squids have asymmetrical eyes that allow them to perceive light in both bright and dark surroundings. One eye is small and blue while the other is large and yellow and both were adapted for their own unique purpose!

I could go on forever bc these creatures are not only so breathtaking but also soooo incredibly interesting

When I have an event coming up I tend to spend a lot of my making-stuff time on things that sell well, like lots of curio earrings that I don't usually bother to photograph, but here's what I've been up to! As always there's a few pairs in my Etsy but message me if you want a pair that isn't there

I’ve been following you for years now and my dumb ass just put together Míriel and Faramir. Between that and the wave dream it’s making me a bit emo I won’t lie lol

Aww, that's totally fair! And I appreciate the long-time follow :)

Miriel/Faramir anon, I just had another thought that just clicked thinking abt your aging post and Miriel remaining youthful/ageless while Pharazon ages and decays also foils with youthful Faramir contrasted against prematurely aging Denethor. One ends with drowning while the other (almost) ends with immolation. Ok bye lol

YES the water/fire youth/age visual imagery is so interesting, I think!

I've often vaguely associated Tar-Míriel and Faramir through the combination of the jewel imagery and the Akallabêth, yes. I don't think I've ever written about Faramir's dream/vision/ancestral memory of it without assuming that Míriel figures in some way, even though Tolkien never said so. Partly that's because the final image of her drowning on the Meneltarma is so much the image of the Akallabêth for me, but also the echo of the jewel theme.

One of my first fics ever (for any fandom) was about Faramir dreaming of Míriel drowning, and then waking up beside a pregnant Éowyn and adjusting. And it is not only for the coincidence of name elements that Faramir becomes Míriel in my f/f Aragorn/Faramir verse. I think that in canon, Faramir already has some intriguing associations with water:

fára in Quenya means 'shore' (though in fairness, he may have been named for his distant cousin, Prince Faramir of the House of Anárion, rather than meaning)

Faramir's first remembered grief is a dim memory of his dying mother, who "withered in the guarded city, as a flower of the seaward vales set upon a barren rock ... she turned her eyes ever south to the sea that she missed." He was five when she died, but pretty blatantly resembles her as well as Denethor in character.

Faramir often dreams of Númenor being drowned for completely unknown reasons (I mean, it actually happened, and it's Tolkien's dream, but we don't know why he gets the dreams about it in-story—though he's also particularly receptive to the prophecy-dream-riddle). Everyone knows his description of the Akallabêth dream, but the description is still pretty harrowing: "the great dark wave climbing over the green lands and above the hills, and coming on, darkness unescapable."

Faramir is standing by the water when he has the vision/not vision of Boromir's body floating down to the sea.

So it's even more interesting that Faramir's "case" of the Black Breath is different from everyone else's—the others grow cold/icy while he burns. Of course, that's potentially linked to his near immolation by Denethor, but the contrast with Míriel's death and the (metaphorical)(ish) shadow of the sea over him is really intriguing. When I was trying to figure out how f!Faramir-Míriel would get the Boromir vision, I was like "well she wouldn't literally be keeping watch by the river, but maybe it could reach her through some other water association, like ... oh! like the Akallabêth dream! and then I could have her relationship with Tar-Míriel's legacy and everything in it too..."
