Two faces of Grand Seiko's craftsmanship: Masterpiece Collection Hand-engraved Manual-winding Spring Drive Limited Edition Ref. SBGZ009 and Evolution 9 Collection Tentagraph Ref. SLGC001
Grand Seiko tends to be relatively unknown to the general public. Except for a relatively low number of collectors and enthusiasts, this magnificent Japanese brand is mainly associated with affordable Seiko watches and not with exceptional craftsmanship. The brand from the land of the rising Sun is known to have an austere aura with straight lines, simple dials and good movements. But the Nippon…

the word 'hayfever' is currently driving me feral.
someone pausing, their eyes glossing over, mouth falling open, nose twitching, they spin away and sneeze- vocal and desperate, before turning back with an exasperated exhale, sniffling pathetically, and offering "hayfever" as an explanation, apology, and warning of what's still to come
#waterfalltalks#i just. the word hayfever gets me so fucking. so fucking bad. god it just gets me so bad.#listen it just. i dont even have more to say. this also works well with a stifle or any other snz description that's just the one in my min#god i dont know listen hayfever is just. allergies is one thing but hayfever drives me wild i dont know why#fever of hay. hay fever. but what it really means is “I'm allergic to pollen and going to be itchy/snzy/sniffling around it”#god idk i DONT KNOW it's just. insanely. god. god so hot i think honestly#someone with a good voice can ruin me with just that word. like just that word makes me blush.#someone hitching through it???? reblogged a post with that that literally makes me wanna bite wood#blushing just at the thought hahahahahhaahaha oh my god#waterfallblushes more like bc i cant actually get through this post without flustering myself#ive made so many posts lately but it's just. spring. spring does something to me.#(what it does is give me snz thoughts dude i am AAAAAHHHHHH lately)#snz#snzkink#snzblr#snz kink

touchstarved LIs and their matching alchemical processes
in attempting to achieve the magnum opus (creation of the philosopher's stone), alchemists devised a 12-step, and to each, a zodiac sign.
which is really good because i get to play theorist and attempt to link things together now :]
tldr: the alchemical processes give us a hint towards character motivations and very general guides for their routes i feel
Mhin - 1 - Calcination - Aries ♈︎
calcination is the thermal treatment of a solid chemical compound, raising it to high temperature without melting it under the restricted supply of oxygen to remove impurities or volatile substances
easy linkage to their desire to rid themself of their curse!
it is interesting how calcination is linked to very controlled fire (who else is linked to fire? kuras!) but more than that I like how it also stresses that the compound must not melt in order for calcination to be successful, could this hint at how carefully mhin (and by extension, the player) must tread in dealing with their curse?
Leander - 3 - Fixation - Gemini ♊︎
fixation is the process where a previously volatile substance is transformed into a form that is not affected by fire - this is done so by separating the substance and putting it back the same or in a different shape at a subatomic level
this honestly screams 'rebirth' to me which isn't surprising at all considering leander is also associated with ouroboros and the triple moon symbol which represent the same theme
it is interesting how fixation stresses the process of breaking something down to recreate it stronger, it's double interesting that making something stronger equals not being affected by fire
all in all leander's link to fixation is telling of his drive for power and knowledge, maybe even through self-destructive means. after all we still don't know where he got that scar from
Ais - 5 - Digestion - Leo ♌︎
digestion is the process where raw materials are transformed into a more purified or refined state - it's more symbolic than the biological digestion and refers more to how a substance undergoes a series of stages leading to its ultimate transformation
if anything, this process is a better link towards ocudeus than ais (who is acting as that fuckass octopus' agent, even if he doesn't know it yet) we know Ocudeus has consumed all challengers within the shroud and is now seeking to expand his domain into the real world after all
that means the raw materials can be seen as those who drink from the Seaspring and thus are transformed and join the groupmind as a big happy family!
it is interesting that many Monsters in the real world are simply bracing themselves for Ocudeus' inevitable onslaught, you'd think someone would warn the humans but at the moment everyone seems more willing to watch it all burn
Vere - 8 - Separation - Scorpio ♏︎
separation is the process where a previous mixture is separated into two or more distinct products in order to obtain purity
in more spiritual terms they highlight a need to distinguish the true self from acquired personality traits shaped by external influences
this one's also pretty obvious (for now...) as we know vere's gotten sick of the senobium and is viewing us, the player, as a new opportunity to get out from his chains
but this has also made me think, after a separation like that there is always waste and byproduct, how are we going to deal with the aftermath? and more importantly, after such a long time of being under the senobium's thumb, who is vere without them?
Kuras - 10 - Putrefaction/Fermentation - Capricorn ♑︎
putrefaction in the purely alchemical sense is linked to nigredo - in modern terms it's simply allowing something to rot undisturbed but I don't necessarily see the links between that and kuras' route unless of course we're supposed to think that kuras is the seed to rotting humanity (which is a bummer.) - putrefaction was necessary to cleanse and cook all alchemical ingredients necessary for the philosopher's stone into a uniform black matter
kuras' linkage to brimstone, sulfur, and divine fire/judgement also lend itself to this definition
cleansing fire and turning everything to ash seem just up kuras' alley in his journey to atonement, we just might get singed along the way
also interestingly nigredo in analytical psychology is also metaphorical for when an individual confronts the shadow within, which are very fitting for kuras' self-imposed guilt and turmoil

what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again
#i just dont know how else to tell you everything !!! santoor from a different room the large family gathering the black tea with saffron#drank out of delicate glass and gold vessels cold marble on hot nights big stars big rivers big mountains#visible from busy tehran roads the ease of conversation tension eased by sarcasm tall tall cliffsides you drive by#rushing to put on headscarves before the head teacher comes in a rave by the base of damavand massive sun pastel purple skies#disjunct architecture trucks on road sides with fresh fruits pomegranates watermelons oranges everywhere#the smell of golpar on tangerines beautiful girls in tehran holding hands bautiful boys in kermanshah speaking kurdish the janky#cars on the verge of breakdown held together by love caspian sea lighting up in spring staying up into the morning on noruz#my friends uncle sang and played setar his son played the violin a little fear a lot of love remnants of something#grand carved into the cliffside everything feels bigger taller the landscape swallows you it smells like#illegally imported wine and orange blossoms and auntie's tahchin soaking your eyes in warm tea when youre sick#tomatoes and salt concrete and stone something mandmade and something raw new flag old resilience#the anger getting to us bruised eyes big grin all i know is the north i feel sorry my mother asks if id be okay#if they got a place in tajikistan we love each other enough dont we? when we look in the mirror we see each other. theres a love letter#across the border and it says I MISS YOU IM GLAD YOURE DOING BETTER itll never be the same im not okay with it at all there are no more#stars i miss jumping over big fires i miss our fireworks im sorry we cant be happy anymore everyone#leaves the mint and rosewater and sunlight for a reason.#it's not pride it's just generational regret

i got a snow day today & i got to stay home yesterday bc the kids gave me strep (feeling p much 100% better now) and tomorrow is our valentimes/100th day of school shindig and friday we have a pd (no kids, free breakfast, leave at like 1:30, very chill day) and we have off monday and i get to go to art class tonight and watch a movie with my beloved friend this sunday and i should be so happy but i COULD not possibly feel more listless rn
#tiddytaco#i think its mostly bc i wasnt able to get into the spring art class bc everyone signed up literally first thing in the morning#the day registration opened & i got confirmation today that it is in fact full (bc i wasnt sure if i got the day right)#but also i just have no motivation to move or do anything#i wanna draw & write & play mindcraft but i cant find the drive to do any of that#also im sad bc i really wanna see my friend from class but she hasnt been coming much bc shes got a lot going on#i made her a valentime bc i made all the homies valentimes i hope she comes tonight so i can give it 2 her#anyways now im feeling sad bc its about the time i wouldve finished work and i havent done anything with my day#i mean i sat around but i wouldnt classify it as Chilling bc it did not feel good whatsoever
