Ruschia crassa
Ruschia is a large genus in the Aizoaceae, or Ice Plant Family, with over 200 species. But only a small number of these are seen in the nursery trade, and there are all sorts of interesting discoveries to be made if one starts investigating this group. While most of the species have flowers in the pink-magenta-purple range, Ruschia crassa is an exception with its white flowers. It is also unusual in the way its leaves clasp the stems, only curving outward a bit at the tip. This trait is shared with several other related species, but it gives them a unique look. R. crassa comes from South Africa’s Great Karoo region.

This is a type of Ruschia (possibly Ruschia Uncinata) Ruschia are succulents that come from dry parts of Southern Africa. The flowers are only 2cm 3/4” so they are a lot smaller than Ice Plants. Easy to strike and do well in a rockery in full sun with not much water. Masses of flowers in spring. #Ruschia #SilverFoliage #RuschiaUncinata #SouthernAfrica #Succulent #Pink #rockery #abcmygarden (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck-NWWNPrQk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ed Ruschia: “There was something new and clean about it, [Standard Gas stations] and the architecture had a zoom to it. I liked the idea that this metal building could be put up anywhere, a pre-fab gas station. So I began concentrating on gas stations after that, and I took pictures of them all the time, those way stations. There are plenty of nostalgic buildings around, but that gas station had a polished newness that I just had to draw and then paint and then silkscreen and finally make into a book.” ("Twentysix Gasoline Stations," published in 1970.)

HW-02/HT-05 Astrant Mobile Frame
The mobile frame known as Astrant was a unique entry in the Dramstellar series, having originally begun as a variant arms option for the HT-04 Jacaranda. The genesis was reinforced and strengthened limbs could better handle massive equipment options and reduce upkeep maintenance, and the idea quickly grew in scope. Furthermore it was was identified that if a frame would be designed from the ground up with the increased lift capacity, that it had fundamental applications for worker frames as well. For the first time since the original HW-01 Ruschia, Dramstellar produced a worker frame, though whereas the Ruschia began as a HW-01 worker frame that eventually evolved into the HT-01 mobile frame line, the Astrant was designed as two concurrent worker and combat lines, the HW-02 and HT-05 respectively. As the first official derivation of the much celebrated Jacaranda, the Astrant cemented the the belief that there was an appetite for role specific variants of the general purpose Jacaranda, and paved the way for future iterations of the HT-04 standard.

more ruru sage with background behind the. Cut . I draw this on a crumpled piece of paper in my dads car just now
so they r the great sage right which is the powerful magician who travels the land in miitopia & helps the hero defeat the dark lord .. ruschia is a Good Samaritan who mostly travels to collect information on magic and create a deeper understanding of it in that world, and is known for healing the sick and being sure civilization and monsters stay apart (they don’t believe in killing monsters , they set magic boundaries between areas meant for people and areas meant for monsters, for example the uninhabited deserts of neksdor are for the griffins , the deep caves are for the banshees and slimes, etc. the boundaries they are made to deter from being crossed but still can be at times)
They are definitely older than they look as there are texts describing the great sage still, but they only introduce themselves as a sage. they began traveling to help people after their apprentice and adopted child silhouette became drawn to the power of banished magic, which is the ability to steal bodies and faces and control them or control monsters. the process of taking faces is 1. Very painful for the person the face belongs to, they feel everything as the monster who has their face does instead of the monster , and remember it all as well. it is deeply traumatizing and used to be used as an extreme punishment for evildoers but was banished for being too cruel and 2. Obviously a infringement of rights within the land of miitopia
Banished magic of stealing bodies and faces is also something that can happen to people who have dark feelings (every human being, no one is entirely good)
they want to stop silhouette peacefully because they still love them with all of their heart they were able to be but know it is impossible and so instead they aid the hero and make their journey easier, but their guilt over not stopping silhouette and complicated emotions on whether they should be killed by the hero or not allowed them to be possessed and become the darker lord
this is a mess i have to write it out better sometime but yeah … miitopa

Ruschia sp.
This is another Ruschia that we received without a name, and this one has 3-sided leaves with a narrow translucent strip visible along the margins. Its pinkish-purple flowers are not large, but they are a welcome sight on a cold winter day. Ruschia is one of the larger genera in the Ice Plant Family.
