So hear me out (this is all a big maybe): Plant-Song as a way to communicate, that manifests in their bodies

A Chladni figure these are created when a vibrating surface (usually a metal plate) is covered with sand and excited by different frequencies. The sand accumulates at the nodal points where there is no movement.

Now for comparison the Plant pattern we see in the Anime Opening:

And now as a comparison, the Plant markings in the manga, which display kinda similar characteristics, further reinforce this connection: (Manga spoiler)

If we analyze the pattern, in Stampede it could correspond to a higher frequency or a complex superposition of different vibrations. However, it is difficult to determine an exact frequency or a specific tone based solely on the pattern. Such shapes typically arise at certain harmonics, and if they are symmetrical, regular shapes, they usually correspond to sounds like sine tones. The shape could indicate a sound between 500 Hz and 2 kHz, which would fall into the range of high-pitched tones (e.g., violin or flute).

In the *Trigun Stampede* soundtrack, there is a song titled "Plant Song on Erhu" that would fit well within these frequencies.

In general, Plants can communicate through primitive sounds accessible to us, but they only do so in moments of extreme emotion, such as in Trigun Vol. 2 Ch. 9.

Additionally, communication through vibrations and frequencies would be far more efficient than the human linguistic. Let’s assume that the singing of their sisters falls below 20 Hz, into the infrasound range. In this case, they could communicate over thousands of kilometers without humans perceiving it.

The audible spectrum for humans covers less than 1% of all possible frequencies.

My theory is that the Plants use the dimension available to them as a kind of resonating body, and a shadow of their song is reflected into the lower dimensions through these intertwined vibrations. On top of that, other beings (especially those who have been enhanced) may possess the ability to sense the aura and emotions of the twins.

This would also explain why Vash can "feel" his twin. The terror WW repeatedly experiences could be linked to the idea that the experiments have improved him enough to partially perceive these frequencies, and/or that his instincts as Homo erectus are awakening, urging him to flee from the "predator" before it’s too late.

Additionally, the *Song of Humanity* mentioned in the manga would thematically fit very well with this idea.

Edit: This could also explain why Vash and Legato can communicate throu some kind of "telepathy". Maybe the blue mother fucker can also recieve/send out something similar to Plant-Song

They are angel-like beings that communicate through song, shaping their bodies with their tunes. I find that a very beautiful concept.

I know the theory has MANY holes, but I still thought it was worth writing about. Sorry when this theory is old.😅

Thank you for taking the time to listen.

i actually think there's some significance in the fact that mithrun wears oversized shirt with open collar (it most likely belongs to laios) in the final arc of the manga. i mean, not just that kui simply wanted to draw him in oversized clothes, lol.

in all instances we see young (pre-dungeon) mithrun he's wearing clothes that hide his body as much as possible. which seems normal, until you see what other elves prefer to wear: most of them wear light short tunics with no sleeves and they don't usually even wear pants. here's a comparison to his brother's outfit, for example, as they stand next to each other.

it's not like his fashion choices are unique, but it certainly feels deliberate. he doesn't add any variation to his canary's uniform either, but that's not especially notable, i guess, because a lot of canaries don't do that (i mean, it's still their armor).

but in his perfect world he's also one of the few who always wears this type of clothes. never revealing himself. sitting a little further from everyone else.

he even lies in his bed fully clothed, like he can't ever bring himself to let his guard down, never showing his "true" skin to anyone.

btw notice that his bed is a single bed, even though he's been living with his partner for 5 years at that point.

and that's the idea, isn't it? he never lets himself be truly vulnerable with anyone, even in his dungeon, where people are supposed to like him unconditionally. i think it adds something to the horrible scene with the demon: it's especially disturbing that the demon literally doesn't care how much of yourself you wanna hide, it sees (and eats) right through every protective layer. and we all know what the allegory of this scene is.

when mithrun loses all his desires, he no longer cares what clothes he wears. and in some twisted metaphorical sense it's heartbreaking to see him in a simple elven tunic when he's recovering, the one that doesn't hide any of his injuries or scars or terrible physique.

he doesn't care to hide himself anymore, but it isn't on his own volition. it's something that was ripped away from him, as well as his privacy (a lot of people have to go through this when they're in medical care actually).

when he recovers and enlists to canaries again, he starts to wear full uniform again, but i don't think it holds much significance to him anymore. or at least he thinks it doesn't. we can see that cithis forces him to wear frilly dress at some point and it's implied that he goes along with it (cithis is still an asshole for that btw).

at this point he's fully focused on finding the demon, but i think the sad reality is that he's always been capable of developing new desires. i'd argue that there are already some things he cares about without realizing it, in the main story. but what's stopping him from actually realizing it at that point is that he's clinically depressed. his disability makes his life difficult; he lives with the idea that he's completely "broken", he accepted the reality of living like that and always goes along with what others make him do. so, he doesn't believe in his own privacy anymore. it’s actually something kabru talks about in the adventurer’s bible comic, when he tries to help mithrun to figure it out again, to help him see the value of privacy, of choosing what he wanna reveal of himself. mithrun needed a reminder that he still has this choice like anybody else.

i think the scene where kabru asks him about his past for the first time is interesting in that sense. first of all, i like the symbolism of kabru unbuttoning mithrun’s collar and cuffs, revealing the scars underneath (a good amount of them is self-inflicted). he does so unthinkingly, but in his defence he doesn't know anything about mithrun yet. another interesting thing is that the first reaction mithrun has is covering his eyes with his hands. he's trying to hide. he supposedly has no desire to hide, but this reaction is almost instinctual to him. i think kabru notices this as well (of course he does) and i think it's one of the things that prompts him to voice his concerns about mithrun's privacy later. 

so, what about that laios' shirt he wears in the final arc of the comic? he has to change his uniform's shirt for something else because it's covered in spider's guts. it's unclear if someone puts laios' shirt on him or if it's something he chooses to wear himself. regardless, it's still symbolic for his change. it's not particularly revealing or anything, but it's different from the type of clothes he usually wears, and it's tallman clothes. and in this final arc we can see a lot of his true feelings as well. he's visibly mad at kabru, he shows concern and tries to help marcille, he helps kabru to break out of his spiral. and obviously, in chapter 94 he reveals a lot of what he actually feels and think and shows genuine emotions other than anger. and I think it’s the first time he decided to be open and vulnerable on his own volition, probably in his entire life.

we can see him wearing variety of clothes post-canon and it’s ambiguous how much of it he picked for himself. pattadol probably helps him a lot with choosing outfits and she also prefers high collars. but mithrun knows he can choose now; even if he doesn’t want anything in particular, he always can express his opinion or feeling, like he did with kabru’s food. he always can choose how much he wants to be seen. i’m just glad to see him wearing similar shirt with open collar and rolled-up sleeves on the cover of daydream hour book.

Crazy theory

Recent chapter has a many AFO/Izuku parallels.

But one thing bothers me s lot. Warning!!! This is just a theory a crazy one. So lets go..

In recent chapter Izuku and Spinner were talking about Shigaraki. Spinner says that he will write a book about him, but Izuku suggests that he should write a comic

And this phrase from Izuku sounds outof nowhere. Just like his behavior.

My theory is....Izuku has AFO and quirk start changing his personality. Remember how Izuku never smile, sometimes talking about comic?

Now remember AFO told Izuku phrase "You are next".

But it is just a theory!!!

I love modern Wei Wuxian with long hair, using earrings, and wearing crop tops. He is the smartest person in the room but always gets underestimated. "Hey I'm looking for Doctor Wei" and there is a sexy man, with skinny jeans, a fat ass, looking like a wet dream, but also the best teacher and investigator at the university.

random thoughts about "best friends" valdangelo, who are deeply in love with each other but both keep it in secret cause:

nico is 100% sure what leo is straight, so he's just prepares himself mentally to be a best man on leo's wedding. (he's not prepared at all) (he's planning to get drunk right after the wedding and go cry in reyna's shoulder) (it's not that this wedding is going to happen at all. leo doesn't have a girlfriend or even a candidate) (but nico is sure it ends like it was with percy)

and leo thinks what nico is way out of his league and like "oh no no chance such an amazing person would be in love with someone like me"

Barty and Evan finally see each other after the holidays, Crouch spends the summer at Hogwarts unlike Evan.

Barty: My best friend hates me

Evan: *In silence*

Evan loves his personal space, Barty also loves Evan's personal space.

Barty: Hug me! *almost dying*

Evan: No!

Barty: SEE?! You hates me *hugs him, burying his face in his shoulder*

Evan: Bee, okay... Okay *hugs him and strokes his hair*

Ok, so, in my head I'm sure that Aziraphale and Crowley are going to make up mid-season (episode 3 or 4) in S03, and that will give us domestic fluff, more kisses than if they wait until the end, and the stakes will be higher for the Last Battle.

So, I've got this scene in my mind, like Crowley leaving the bookshop because he has to drive somewhere to make something, Aziraphale has to stay doing some other important thing, but before Crowley leaves Aziraphale says 'aren't you forgetting something?', and Crowley goes back 'yes, sorry, I'm still getting used to it' and quickly plants a kiss on Aziraphale. Then Aziraphale's like 'not that... well, that too', hinting at Crowley taking Muriel along, who has witnessed the whole situation.

very curious about this shot

Dan was already looking distressed (before the blow). The lil cocktail (martini?) by his side is sending me.

If that were me, I'd immediately look in the direction of the attacker to know if I should expect more violence. Dan doesn't even seem that surprised. He just shrinks in fear, preparing himself for the impact. This is one of the moments from the trailer I'm most curious about. (mostly because of Louis).

We don't see the shelves falling. I'm trying to figure out the perspective of the attack. For a sec thought there was a fight, but we'd get a reaction from Dan. Someone is just raging. Wonder who that is, hm...who could that be.

Books on the right look like they were thrown with a great force through the glass, while the ones on the right look like they were shoved.

But in the previous trailer (gif below), they looked thrown. And the laptop was closed. This is the 2nd time (I think) that the same scene has slightly different details. Memory thing? Reshoots?

same fit:

I wonder if it's going to parallel the 70s. Will this trigger Daniel's memories? Daniel just can't keep his mouth shut, huh.

So if it is indeed Louis, does it mean that he's destroying his own memories? Or that he's getting them back from under Armand's glass box?

Break free, Louis! (remembers how he does it) No, not like that!

I haven't rewatched the series or re-read the books, and it shows.

what i don't like about "mithrun represents elven violence in the story" interpretations that i've seen a lot lately is that they're kinda. um, i guess, trying to overshadow another much simpler and straightforward reading of his role in the story. which is that he's an abuse victim who's been dehumanized for years by extremely ableist society and now participates in the cycle of cruelty?

like, some of the elves in the story are fucking mean (we're dealing with criminals mostly i guess), but really, they're just super patronizing and dismissive to the lives of other races. like kabru said, their cruelty mostly comes from their refusal to understand importance of time in other people's lives. they don't execute criminals; they conveniently forget about their life spans. the canaries also are a military force of imperialistic country and a lot of their methods demonstrate a noticeable level of disregard to borders and autonomy of other countries and it's the whole thing.

mithrun kinda exists mostly outside of this narrative though? yes, at first, he seems to be an effective tool/weapon of the military force, but i don't believe his cruelty is "elven" cruelty, not really. he constantly goes against typical canaries' methods even, because he just doesn't care about the rules (and pattadol panics about it, showing that this is not the way she was trained). he's only particularly cruel and violent towards other dungeon lords, and to me it reads as something extremely personal.

he's self-destructive and self-critical and without fully realizing it he projects those feelings on people he relates the most to: other dungeon lords. and with that, i think, he recreates violence that was done to him. in some twisted irony he's often doing it by simply trying to prevent the worst: he treats marcille so roughly, because he's desperate to stop her from repeating his fate. and it does not absolve him from fault of traumatizing her, it's very obviously not framed as something "correct". but it's framed as something raw and complicated and uncomfortable. he would treat himself the same way, if he could go back.

i just can't get rid of the feeling that something about putting him as the main agent of elven violence kinda... misses the mark a little? even looking at his character's arc. like, when in other stories characters are meant to be agents of political regimes, their arcs are usually about deconstructing their beliefs or refusing to give up on them and going down with the system. meanwhile mithrun doesn't want to uphold his beliefs nor deconstructing them, we don't even know how he sees himself in the relation to political system, because his story is strikingly personal.

i think the scene in the end demonstrates it the best: while the rest of canaries are shocked or angry when laios takes marcille away from them, mithrun simply keeps eating in the background. he's a part of the system, but he's far from being a shining example of it. i think it could be seen as a narratively subversive move even, because possibly we were meant to expect his story to be something different, he's a military captain after all, and that's not how this type of story usually goes.

of course, every reading has right to exist! it's just my personal take, really.

Thinking in a long hair Guildford for season 2.

Like in the end of the season 1.

I'll just died.

And then a Jane Grey pulling it...

I'll just die again.

Why "Izuku is a UA teacher" doesn't work in the end.

People who tried to defend trash ending use often this argument "Being a teacher in Japan is prestigious and respectable, so Izuku being a teacher in UA is win win for him".

My answer to this: no its not

Problem is not that Izuku is UA teacher. Problem is that Horikoshi portrays this as misery and losing. Izuku is miserable being teacher. He makes sad face, he is lonely, people doesn't recognize him.

But immediately after he recieves an Iron man Suit he smiles again, happy and with all of his classmates again. So, no. Doesn't matter If Izuku is a teacher, he is a loser by 430 narration. Blame Horikoshi for this.

I keep telling that 430 chapter and ending should be different. But somehow Horikoshi changed that in kast minutes and write this sh$t. (I blame Jump)

August 7th was a big day for me. Finally. After 5 years of participating in fieldworks, I found a skeleton of a theropod!

Well, this is actually not a full skeleton, but! For all the years of research on the Shestakovo location since 1953, only single bones of various theropods have been found here. And in general, all previously found here articulated skeletons belong only to psittacosaurs... So... this is really something new.

The wet sandstone was very brittle and crumbled at the touch of fingers exposing the fossil.

However, finding something is only half the case. You have to take it with you somehow and not break it. The fossil was encased in a single piece of sandstone weighing at least a third of a ton, lying on the bank of the Kiya River and half submerged in water. A high sheer cliff overhangs the shore, and the surface below is littered with cobblestones, on which no one truck can pass. The only way to take the fossil is to float it down to the gentle shore.

But there was a small problem... We had no boat or something. Fortunately, a local resident agreed to transport the block with the fossil on his own rubber boat. This was a small two-person rubber boat that can barely withstand the weight of the rock block. In addition, it turned out that the tightness of the air chamber of the boat is broken, so it needed to be continuously pumped up, otherwise the boat would have just sunk. x') But after a couple of hard hours, the fossil was finally loaded into the car... which couldn't move because it got stuck in the mud.

In parallel with all these events, I fought for the safety of the fragile bone, which was in a piece that broke off from the monolith. Its transportation took another day.

Location: Shestakovo-1 «Malyi Yar», Kiya River, Western Siberia. 08/08/2023

Now the fossil is in the camp. After drying and removing excess rock, it will be sent to the city for tomography. And maybe after that we will find out the taxonomic affiliation of the found prehistoric animal.

“What am I?”

Due to those conversations and reactions between Crowley and Jim in S2, I always thinking about Crowley seems to understand how it feels about lost memories and how hard it is to bring them back…
