for the 2 + 3 = 5 for Jade and Azul with the words perfume, tea, and purple?

2 characters + 3 words = 5 sentences

Azul peered suspiciously at the steaming cup of unusually deep blue tea that Jade placed on the corner of his desk.

The tall moray gestured to it, smiling benignly, and said, "This is the item that I suggested we add to the lounge menu, Azul; please squeeze in the lemon and observe."

Azul raised an elegant eyebrow, but complied. His other eyebrow raised to match the first as he watched the liquid in the teacup go from blue to purple.

Jade went on, "It's frightfully popular due to the color change effect, although it's a real shame that the unsweetened tea tastes like drinking perfume."

Oppenheimer spoilers below

Christopher Nolan.

You done it again.

I’m sure I could touch on so many things in this movie. I might later, I might not. But leaving the theater I felt so deeply unsettled, and I wanted to touch on that, from my point of view as an amateur writer and someone starting to feel comfortable talking about cinematography (although I have no current plans to do much more than talk about it).

Now I’d like to start by saying that, if you haven’t seen it or it didn’t make that big of an impact on you, this is a long movie. I, myself, am no stranger to long movies and I think it was marvelously done. That being said, my memory tends to leave things to be desired, so while I am writing this rather soon after I watched and digested it, others may have stronger points/counter points/evidence/what-have-you.

With that out of the way, I’d like to talk about one facet of the movie that Christopher Nolan, imo, harnessed in a way that I did not expect. And it wasn’t color, it wasn’t camera perspective, it wasn’t even the timeline.

It was his usage of sound.

From the very beginning, sound has always been a key factor in this movie. In the trailer, the crackling of the radiation detector is ominously present. It is used less frequently in the movie than I had predicted, but when it makes its “appearance” it most certainly put me on the edge of my seat. It brings a sense of gravity to an already serious situation. Engrossed in the movie as I was, I admit the sound mainly made me uneasy because it demonstrated the presence of radiation. Looking back, I can add to that and say it may have also been used as a foreshadowing tool.

Now, I’m sure we’ve all heard sound used a foreshadowing tool. The little girl screaming for help is actually the protagonist with a shadowy past who can’t get the sound of the daughter/random child he couldn’t save out of his head. The words of an interrogation in the beginning of a movie finally get context half-way through when the timelines finally align. It’s been used, it’s been subverted, it’s nothing new.

Except when it is. In my experience, and I am the first to admit that I haven’t seen enough movies of the genre to have a definitive say in the matter, I have never been quite as unsettled or shocked by the background noises than while watching Oppenheimer.

Let me start with the sound that will not leave my mind. Those damned boots. I’d heard it at school pep rallys when everyone would stomp in the bleachers. I had never expected to hear it in a movie about the man who made the atomic bomb. When I first heard it, I thought it was an aesthetic choice, like picking the music to evoke a certain emotion. And while it is that, all of sound is, I never actually expected for it to be from such a central scene.

When the boots were first connected to a scene, a short, split-second, blink-and-you-miss-it shot of shoes-on-bleachers, it was early enough in the movie that I thought it was a flashback of a pep rally at one of his schools, maybe as a boy genius, and I let it go. Later on, when they show the full scene, it’s terrifying.

And then you can’t hear the boots at all.

For hours, all you could hear were those boots in the back of stressful scenes and now that they’re there, now that you can see them, suddenly they’re gone. You know what they’re supposed to sound like, so why would you need to hear them again? And it helps build the suspension, the tension that Oppenheimer is feeling during that scene. And so the next time you hear it in the movie, the next time those boots are stomping on the bleacher in the background when they are in a meeting or an interrogation, it pulls you right back into the stress and horror of the bleacher speech.

And then, of course, you begin to realize that while the timelines had been so well interwoven that it seemed like you couldn’t go two scenes without hearing those boots, it was always a very specific scene, a specific timeline that the boots would make an appearance. Because, of course, in one Oppenheimer hadn’t heard them yet, and in another it’s not Oppenheimer at all.

Another prominent sound that I mentioned earlier is the Geiger Counter (I finally looked up the name!). This is a foreshadowing of a different kind, more physically consequential than mental. This, I believe, foreshadows the heavy losses suffered later in the movie by the radiation poisoning. The blast itself only killed so many people, it was the radiation, as they are so fond of pointing out in the movie, that helped round out the total killed in the bombings.

I’ll admit that it’s a bit of a stretch, but I can see it being a small detail that was added in.

On another note, I’d like to address how Nolan also utilized the absence of sound.

Oppenheimer (movie) doesn’t necessarily have jump scares, per se, but rather I jumped a lot during the movie. More startled with a side of deep-seated dread rather than scared. Any way you put it, Nolan does a very good job of keeping me at the edge of my seat. I’ve mentioned earlier the lack of sound during the bleacher scene (containing about half of the many times I jumped during the movie) so I won’t go into that again.

Another part of the movie where he employs this is the bomb test. This is the culmination of years of hard work, the pinnacle of one of three (four?) timelines. And you can’t hear a thing. You get the countdown (a staple from the trailer), the drop, and then… nothing.

It’s a beautiful flash of light and an explosion but the whole time there’s not a sound to be heard. At first it feels like it’s gone just so you can look at the view and then as you’re lulled into security… the shockwave hits.

I can’t remember the last time I jumped so high in a movie theater.

And it’s used for every time you see the shockwave. Silence, wind, and then a force pushes everything back, rattling the house, whipping up the dust. It’s really iconic imo.

Anyway, I walked out fixated on the noises of that movie. And the cackling of the neon did not help my dazed state.

[mangocheesecakes]

I feel really bad that I haven't been able to post Ahmad Waleed (@ahmadwaleeed)'s fundraiser as much on my blog for the past couple of weeks. I tried as much as I could to boost his fundraiser alongside Mohamed/Rewaa's, Yousef's and the others but I got overwhelmed with irl stuff (I couldn't find a place that would hire me despite interviewing with so many prospective employees.)

I took over the raffle for Ahmad from rafflesforpalestine where I was raffling off a crocheted purse, but I haven't received any submissions over at @rosesraffles. I feel bad that the item that I made may not have encouraged people to donate to Ahmad, but I'm hoping that I was still able to get some people to give what they can and they just chose not to enter the raffle anymore (I did indicate that I could only ship to people in the PH because the shipping costs overseas is too much and I'm still very broke, so that could be the reason why.)

I'm really sorry that I couldn't do more, but please don't stop supporting Ahmad's fundraiser. As of this post he is still only at $4,607 of his very low $10,000 goal, with only 3 donations received so far today.

Let's help Ahmad get to at least $4,700 today. We just need 10 people who can give $10 each, or 20 people with even just $5 each. Please consider donating to help Ahmad reach his goal and reblog this post so it reaches more people.

(This is a vetted fundraiser as it is one of the gofundmes included in the rafflesforpalestine project. Ahmad is at #167, line 171 of the Vetted Fundraisers List.)

MXTX Fanart Hanakotoba Analysis

So, I came across this absolutely stunning artwork depicting the six main characters from MXTX's three novels—SVSSS, MDZS and TGCF respectively—as different flowers. I asked the original artist, @Huaihua610715, if I could repost it here and analyse it, and they gave me permission. Please support the original post on Twitter as well.

═══════════════════════

-> 1.) SVSSS

1.1) Luo Binghe × Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla)

In this artwork, Luo Binghe is represented with a red Hydrangea macrophylla flower. Although its name means "water vessel" in Greek, this flower is native to East Asia. Given that their colour saturation varies depending on the availability of aluminium ions in the soil, Hydrangea macrophylla flowers function as natural soil pH indicators. In acidic soils, the flowers range from blue to purple, whereas in alkaline soils, they range from red to pink.

➞ 1.1.1) Hydrangea symbolism:

In Japanese hanakotoba, hydrangeas are associated with fickleness, callousness, heartlessness, ruthlessness, pride, patience, and patient affection. White hydrangeas symbolise tolerance—while red hydrangeas are associated with strong love. The hydrangea's symbolism of "fickleness" is derived from its flowers' ability to change colour based on soil pH—while its symbolism of "patience" stems from its long flowering period. In China, hydrangeas are associated with gratitude, hope, happy reunions, pride, long-term love, forgiveness, apologies and heartfelt emotions. Red hydrangeas are associated with abundance and prosperity. In Western floriography, hydrangeas symbolise frigidity, heartlessness, boastfulness, "you are cold" and "thank you for understanding". White hydrangeas in particular symbolise purity, grace and abundance. Red hydrangeas are associated with boldness, love, passion, devotion, adoration, loyalty and desire.

➞ 1.1.2) Discussion of symbolism appropriateness:

In the SVSSS novel, Shen Qingqiu frequently compares Luo Binghe to a lotus—characterising him as a pure, white lotus during his time as a disciple at Qing Jing Peak and as a black lotus following his return from the Endless Abyss—however, the artist opted to depict him as a red hydrangea instead. This is primarily because the hydrangea's ability to change colour depending on soil pH mirrors the shift in Luo Binghe's character throughout the narrative—just like the analogy of a white lotus becoming a black lotus does. The hydrangea's representations of pride, fickleness, ruthlessness, boldness, frigidity, heartlessness and prosperity resonate with Luo Binghe's turbulent personality. Additionally, the flower's symbolism of passion, long-term love, forgiveness, gratitude, patient love, devotion, adoration, loyalty and desire greatly correspond with his feelings towards Shen Qingqiu.

Furthermore, Luo Binghe's and the hydrangea flower's names are both derived from water—with Luo Binghe being named after the river where his adoptive mother found him while hydrangeas are named after the Greek work for "water vessel" because of their bowl-like shape.

1.2) Shen Yuan | Shen Yuan × Four-season orchid (Cymbidium ensifolium)

In this artwork, Shen Qingqiu is represented with a Cymbidium ensifolium flower. This flower is more commonly referred to as the Four-season orchid, golden-thread orchid, spring orchid, burned-apex orchid and rock orchid. This orchid has been cultivated for over 2000 years in China and Japan and is renowned for its exquisite foliage and delicate, sweet, and lasting scent.

➞ 1.2.1) Flower Symbolism:

In Japanese hanakotoba, this flower is associated with grace, glory, purity, elegance and nobility. Its symbolism is primarily derived from its delicate, sweet fragrance and intricate blossoms. In China, this orchid symbolises dignity, integrity, nobility, self-restraint, morality, resilience, strength and humility—all of which are regarded as the attributes of an ideal gentleman. Ancient Chinese philosophers regard orchids as a representation of "the self-cultivation of a gentleman who adheres to moral principles even in destitution" because these plants grow in secluded forests devoid of admirers yet continue to emit a charming aroma. In Western floriography, four-season orchids represent elegance, virtue, nobility, refinement as well as "pure, valued and respected friendship".

➞ 1.2.2) Discussion of symbolism appropriateness:

Although Shen Qingqiu is not canonically associated with any particular flower, the Four-season orchid's white and green palate corresponds with his white and green colour scheme. Additionally, this orchid's symbolic representations of grace, elegance, self-restraint, refinement and resilience resonate with Shen Qingqiu's outward personality.

-> 2.) MDZS

2.1) Lan Zhan | Lan Wangji × Yulan Magnolia (Magnolia denudata)

In this artwork, Lan Wangji is depicted with a branch of Yulan magnolia (Magnolia denudata) flowers. This flower is native to central and eastern China and its Chinese name yùlánhuā (玉兰花) translates to jade orchid/lily.

➞ 2.1.1) Flower Symbolism:

In Japanese hanakotoba, magnolias are associated with sustainability, persistence, sublimeness and a "love for nature". In China, magnolias symbolise dignity, perseverance, beauty, purity and honour. In addition to being a component in traditional medicine, magnolias symbolise the onset of spring and are believed to confer good fortune and happiness.  In Western floriography, magnolia flowers represent perseverance, dignity, honour, majesty, pride, and nobility.

➞ 2.1.2) Discussion of symbolism appropriateness:

MDZS is the richest MXTX novel in terms of flower symbolism. Lan Wangji has been canonically associated with magnolia and gentian flowers in official artwork. Furthermore, magnolias are repeatedly noted to grow in the Gusu Lan clan's Cloud Recesses—particularly near the library pavilion where Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian studied in their youth. The magnolia’s symbolic associations with nobility, perseverance, persistence, beauty, dignity and honour tie in well with Lan Wangji's character. Additionally, the magnolia's white flowers contrasted against the clear blue sky, are reminiscent of Lan Wangji's white and blue colour scheme. The magnolia's Chinese name translates to "orchid/jade lily" which corresponds with Lan Wangji being hailed as one of the Lan's "Twin Jades".

2.2) Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian × Peony (Paeonia sp.)

In the artwork, Wei Wuxian is depicted as a red peony (Paeonia sp.). Peonies have been cultivated in China since the seventh century for their luxurious, aromatic flowers, which range from white, pink to crimson. Although China has not established an official national flower—in spite of various electoral attempts and suggestions—the peony was considered the national flower during the late Qing dynasty.

➞ 2.2.1) Flower Symbolism:

In Japanese hanakotoba, peonies are associated with shyness, wealth, bravery, and regalness. The peony's association with wealth and regalness stems from its multitudes of large, silk-like petals. In China, peonies are hailed as the "king of flowers" and the "flower of riches and honour". They symbolise honour, wealth, prosperity, beauty, love and happiness in Chinese culture. Red peonies are associated with good fortune and prosperity in China. In Western floriography, peonies represent bashfulness, shame, prosperity, compassion and a happy marriage. Red peonies in particular symbolise passion, desire, honour, romance,

➞ 2.2.2) Discussion of symbolism appropriateness:

Although peony flowers are heavily associated with the Jin Clan in the MDZS novel, they are also canonically linked with Wei Wuxian. During the Siege Hunt at Mount Baifeng, Wei Wuxian throws a pink peony to Lan Wangji amidst the parade. Later, while on a trip to Yunmeng, the latter once again encounters Wei Wuxian who throws him another pink peony. In this audio drama adaptation of this scene, Wei Wuxian asks a ghost woman what the meaning of peony is, and she responds that it means "wishing you would return my feelings" or to part with a heavy heart." Years later, following Wei Wuxian's death and resurrection, he finds a pressed peony flower that Lan Wangji uses as a bookmark. Given Lan Wangji's sentimental nature, this peony is undoubtedly one of those given to him by Wei Wuxian. Aside from the peony's dark red petals matching Wei Wuxian's colour scheme, its symbolism of passion, honour, compassion, bravery and happiness greatly complement Wei Wuxian's character. During the long debate to decide China's national flower one of the proposed solutions was the "One Country, Five Flowers" system. This concept entailed designating the peony as the primary national flower while having an additional four supplementary flowers symbolising the four seasons: chrysanthemums for autumn, plum blossoms for winter, orchids for spring, and lotuses for summer. While this may be a reach, I find the peony standing over four other flowers somewhat analogous to the cultivation world's crusade against the Yiling Patriarch, in which Wei Wuxian opposed the combined might of the four major clans—namely the Jin, Jiang, Nie, and Lan.

-> 3.) TGCF

3.1) Hua Cheng × Camellia (Camellia sp.)

In this artwork, Hua Cheng is depicted as a red Camellia (Camellia sp.) flower. Camellias are native to the tropical and subtropical regions of southern and eastern Asia. Various species of camellias have been cultivated for centuries not only for their beautiful flowers but also for tea and woody-oil production. Camellia flowers range from pure white to soft pink to deep red. With proper care, camellia plants can live for many years. It is said that the camellias around the emperor’s palace in Japan are known to be more than 500 years old.

➞ 3.1.1) Flower Symbolism:

In Japanese hanakotoba, camellias are associated with modest kindness, pride, eternal love and enduring love. Red camellias in particular symbolise love, humble virtue, modest splendour, unpretentious grace and "perishing with grace" in hanakotoba. Pink camellias represent love, modesty, beauty, longing and missing someone. On the other hand, white camellias symbolise waiting, impeccable charm complete beauty and supreme loveliness. In China, camellias symbolise admiration, perfection, everlasting love and the "perfect union between lovers". Red camellias symbolise happiness, good luck and protection in Chinese culture. Camellias are associated with everlasting love, marital bliss and perfect unions between lovers because, unlike most other flowers, the calyx and petals of a camellia flower don't separate when its flower wilts. In Western floriography, camellias are associated with constancy, steadfastness, perfect loveliness, unpretending excellence, adoration, longing, admiration and perfection. Red camellias in particular are associated with passion, love and desire.

➞ 3.1.2) Discussion of symbolism appropriateness:

Although Hua Cheng is not canonically associated with camellia flowers, I've always thought that they greatly complemented him. The camellia flower's association with perfect unions, passion, love, desire, longing, adoration, admiration and enduring, everlasting love perfectly encapsulate Hua Cheng's feelings towards Xie Lian. Just as the calyx and petals of a camellia flower remain together, Hua Cheng has forever remained Xie Lian's "most devoted believer". Additionally, the camellia's representation of steadfastness, unpretending excellence, good fortune, protection, impeccable charm and pride greatly resonate with Hua Cheng's character. Camellia flowers also symbolise "perishing with grace," and Hua Cheng has declared that dying in battle for Xie Lian would be his greatest honour—he has already upheld this assertion by dying three times for Xie Lian.

Furthermore, the camellia flower's contradictory symbolism of pride and modesty mirrors how Hua Cheng's confidence and boldness are toned back when it comes to Xie Lian, with whom he reveals a far more vulnerable and genuine side of himself.

3.2) Xie Lian × Tianshan snow lotus (Saussurea involucrata)

In the artwork, Xie Lian is depicted as the rare and precious Tianshan snow lotus (Saussurea involucrata). Just as its name suggests, this flower is native to the Tianshan Mountains of China where it is known as Tiānshān Xuělián (天山雪蓮). It grows at altitudes near 4000 meters, in frigid and low-oxygen conditions, among ice-streaked rock fissures. It is a valuable ingredient in traditional Uyghur, Mongolian, Kazakh and Chinese medicine and has been hailed as the "king of all herbs" and "best medicine" by locals. In China, this flower has historically inspired songs, poetry, and legends, wherein it is thought to possess magical properties that extend life. These flowers are threatened due to climate change and over-harvesting.

➞ 3.2.1) Flower Symbolism:

Tianshan snow lotuses are associated with pure love, tenacity, purity, holiness, resilience, renewal, spiritual awakening and "bringing hope to people" in China. The Tianshan snow lotus, which grows at high altitudes under arduous conditions, is thought to symbolise that "beauty and purity can arise even in the most challenging circumstances".

➞ 3.2.2) Discussion of symbolism appropriateness:

Xie Lian is known as the "The Flower-Crowned Martial God: Sword in One Hand, Flower in the Other" and as such he is canonically associated with several different flowers, one of which being the Tianshan snow lotus. Ironically Qi Rong is the character who constantly compares Xie Lian to a Tianshan snow lotus. However, Qi Rong derisively calls Xie Lian a "blackhearted snow lotus" which holds the implication that the latter's compassion is nothing but a façade to mask his malicious motivations. Qi Rong uses the snow lotus as a metaphor not just because of its cultural connotations but also because its Chinese name "Xue Lian" is phonetically similar to Xie Lian's name, despite the differing hanzi. Despite Qi Rong's ill intent, I do think the Tianshan snow lotus greatly complements Xie Lian's character. The Tianshan snow lotus' symbolism of tenacity, resilience, renewal, hope and pure love particularly resonates with Xie Lian character. Xie Lian's character arc greatly encapsulates the idea that "beauty and purity can arise even in the most challenging circumstances"—in the same way as the Tianshan snow lotus. Despite enduring immense hardship and being exposed to the worst qualities of humanity; Xie Lian still found himself moved by one person's kindness. His desire to help others and compassion remain steadfast, despite having been subjected to numerous trials and tribulations.

Saturn Darakaraka

Accuracy is influenced by ENTIRE chart. Looking at one placement will only give general information. I do paid readings for in-depth interpretations.

AGE:

I've had people express disappointment that this means their partners will be significantly older. This is NOT always the case.

ex. Elvis Presley had a Saturn DK, his spouse was a teenager when they met + 10 years younger.

For women in general, whether they have a Saturn DK or not, partners are often older. To check for a specific indicator that the spouse is significantly older, see if Saturn DK is paired with Jupiter or Rahu. These 2 will amplify Saturn's traits which may manifest as being their age.

ex. My friend has saturn dk conjunct jupiter. Her partner is 18 years older than her.

MATURITY:

This dk indicates the spouse will be more mature than you. They are a practical thinker. They rarely let their emotions take control. They use logic over emotions when making choices.

ex. Saturn dk's partner is unlikely to engage in a fight where emotions are heightened & logic has been abandoned. If someone is screaming nonsense/name calling, they will not have enough respect for this conversation to engage.

This does not mean in the above scenario they will be silent and submissive. They are human and will experience anger. Anyone can be brought to a point of extreme anger. However, with Saturn dk the partner is simply unlikely to be a person who screams, names calls and acts impulsively. 7th H + 7th H ruler and aspects + sign of DK can change this.

Saturn DK is said to give a partner who is very unlikely to leave a marriage. Due to them using logic over emotions, they will want to find solutions. Saturn DK partner's can be very patient, they allow their partner to work on themselves if the partner is in the wrong. They can be willing to compromise themselves too (if the compromise seems reasonable).

However, this does not mean every person with saturn DK has never been dumped/left. As I said, they use logic to make choices. If you as a partner are unwilling to change and/or are toxic, they will leave. It will take a lot to push them to this point. It will likely take them years to fully decide to leave as Saturn gives a slow/dragged out energy.

ex. Elvis Presely (who has a saturn dk) cheated on his wife. Despite this, she did not leave him immediately. When she was pregnant he asked her for a temporary trial separation. The first breakup was his choice. However, they got back together and the toxicity continued. She did eventually ask him for divorce after years of trying in this marriage.

STABILITY + SECURITY:

Saturn DK shows the spouse grounds you. They offer stability and security that allows you to count on the spouse. They will be a reliable person for you.

How a person will bring stability + security will vary from person to person. To check in your own chart, check which house Saturn DK is placed in.

ex. Saturn DK in 10th. The spouse can be career-orientated. They are likely to have gain control over your career too. This can manifest in various ways: you work together, they influence what you do, where you work, they offer good feedback/advice that helps in your work. You can adapt their work ethic and approach to career too.

Basically, saturn DK in 10th allows you to know your spouse is stable in their career and/or they help/support you progress in your career. This can be a relief to the native.

Negative Traits

: If Saturn is afflicted - debilitated, badly aspected, conjunct malefics - this has been known to give almost the opposite of what is said above. Gradually after marriage, they begin to become lazier. If they were once the provider, they lose the motivation or ability to do this. The saturn traits are expressed negatively -

instead of patient they are slow,

instead of disciplined they are lazy,

instead of work-orientated they dislike working, etc.

Their motivation is lacking and they become tired easily -

they may often take naps,

physical intimacy decreases, romance decreases, etc.

The marriage is still likely to be long lasting. The spouse will make it difficult to leave them - ex: refuse to sign divorce papers.
