Plant of the Day

Saturday 18 December 2021

At The Newt, Somerset, a Miscanthus sinensis cultivar (eulalia, Chinese silver grass) creates waves of texture. The clump-forming, deciduous perennial grass is wonderful in the winter and needs to be cut back in early spring before the new shoots start to grow.

Calligraphy

Hi!

Just a really short, like 15 minutes thingy.

No editing.

Pairing: Minhoxfem!originalcharacter

POV: Maria

Warnings: None, lol floof

Word Count:

Enjoy :)

*****

"Whatcha doin' there?" I asked, leaning over Minho's shoulder

It looked like some sort of letter. A scroll of dark paper, words written neatly in black ink.

The writing didn't match Minho's though.

He jumped when I spoke, scrambling to cover up whatever the paper was.

Maybe this is that smut scroll Thomas told me about?

"uh- uh- nothing- just- a thing-" He stuttered, giving me a panicked and awkward smile.

I placed my hand on his shoulder and looked into his eyes, "Listen Minho. This is completely natural. And I understand if-"

I guessed I was wrong when his face contorted into disgust.

"No! Maria! This is not the smut scroll-" His eyes flickered back and forth, hand gestures going everywhere.

"Ok! Ok! Sorry!" I laughed, "So what is it shank?"

"Well- I- uh-" He began to stumble over his words again, "Here."

Minho uncovered the paper and handed it to me.

I found a paragraph of sentences in a nice manuscript.

Maria

Maria is nice.

Maria is beautiful.

Maria is my best friend.

Maria is lovely.

Maria is wonderful.

Maria makes me laugh.

I like Maria.

"Minho?- Did you?" I look up to meet his eyes

"Learn some calligraphy for you? Yea," He rubbed the back of his neck, "It's really stupid I know, I'm a shuck-faced slinthead. But you said you liked calligraphy, so I just thought- Never mind. It's klunk."

He began to take the paper from me, obviously embarrassed, and the red on his cheeks only growing.

"No! No!," I tugged back, "Minho I love it!"

His head snapped up, features shocked, "Really?"

"Of course! It's so sweet of you! I'm so flattered!"

"Well..." He rubbed the back of his neck, ego puffing a bit, "Yea"

I patted his adorable smiling face, "I'm taking this with me"

*****

So uhm yea.

I literally wrote this in 15 minutes.

It's completely unedited so sorry for any mistakes :)

Thanks

Love you

~ R xx

#nowdrinking #TheNewt #Dry #Somerset #Cyder (7.0%) from #Bruton - Tastes like tangy apple with a slice of freshly peeled green skin with toasty burnt caramel coming through midway. The skin comes back in the finish which gives some sourness. It’s well balanced and I’m pleased that it’s so much better than their fine cyder/white wine 750ml I tried which almost put me off this producer... almost! 👍🏽 #nd #newtcyder #drycider #ciderspftheuk #ciderORcyder #somersetcider #ukcider #purejuice #nicedayforit #hadspenhouse #cider #ciderweather https://www.instagram.com/p/CNC4rD8Fcqz/?igshid=1dt97lqy5z9l2

I got this Art request from @thenewt-case awhile ago but i finally could finish it ^^

I'm really proud of this drawing i think it's one of my best drawings so far of this year

[newt-and-salamander]

As I thought a lot about Theseus recently, I figured I will just go on and make a list of reasons why I think he is (not!) going to die. Maybe I’m a tiny bit biased by my wishful thinking here but... here we go!

Reasons Theseus might die in one of the next films:

He was introduced to us in FBAWTFT as “Theseus Scamander? The war hero?”. This might already indicate his role during the whole series, being a hero – probably this includes dying as one. [I think this is something @thenewt-case said to me.]

He is close to Newt – his death might motivate Newt to take higher risks and give him another strong personal reason to fight if he feels like his family and friends are threatened.

I get the impression that he is a rather popular character, so there would be a strong emotional response from the audience for sure. I'm not sure if you could call it a shock as people certainly already partly anticipate his death.

JKR likes tearing apart families – especially siblings. (The Dumbledores, the Lestranges, the Goldsteins if you count Queenie's change of loyalties... the Potters, the Weasleys, the Prewetts, the Blacks (x2 if you count Sirius and Regulus and Andromeda, Bellatrix and Narcissa twice), the Evans, the Creevies, … I didn’t even really think this through, I’m sure there are more to add.)

Somebody might need to sacrifice themselves for Newt at some point of the story because he’s the protagonist. [This might be a weak reason.] Theseus definitely loves his brother and might be ready to accept death for him (although he much rather would prefer not to die).

Reasons Theseus is definitely not going to die, don’t even think of it! (I will begin with counter-arguments to some of the points mentioned above):

Theseus is not stupid and very capable in his job. He is one of the few people that survived Grindelwald’s attack in Paris (although this was partly due to Newt apparating him away, but still he’s clearly a very powerful wizard and a brilliant fighter). Being a hero doesn’t necessarily involve dying, right?

As @occamyeggshells pointed out in my post about Pickett, at this point after CoG Newt has already decided he will fight and doesn’t need another motivation to move against Grindelwald. Leta’s death was enough for him to make up his mind. In fact, it might have been seeing Theseus alive and miserable that led to Newt's decision to join his side. There is no "necessity" for him to lose Theseus.

Him being a popular character might also spare him (although I’m not sure if JKR cares a lot about this). I’m not sure if popularity with the audience is any kind of argument at all to predict if a character is going to die if I'm honest.

We have already seen families torn apart in CoG – not only the Lestranges but, maybe even more important, the Goldsteins. Although Queenie didn’t die, there is a lot of heartbreak, mistrust and disappointment between the sisters. So there's lots of potential room to explore this.

Even if somebody might sacrifice themselves for Newt, Theseus isn’t the only option. (Bunty, I’m looking at you! ...but please don't die either, thanks.)

Okay, now some original arguments:

As I already mentioned before, Newt is (supposed to be) the protagonist and I feel like Theseus’ death would hit him too hard. There is no use in showing a protagonist who is grief-stricken over a long time because it's just no fun. And although Newt and Theseus might not have the warmest of relationships, it's clear that there is a lot of love between them regardless.

If they want to show how the loss of a loved persons influences those who fight in the war, Theseus himself (alive!) is the best example. What will the loss of Leta do to him? I feel like he will get even more determined, maybe bitter. Leta was very important to Newt as well, so her death can show us how both brothers handle the loss - in quite different ways I suppose.

Regarding Newt’s character development, in my opinion it would be much more interesting to show how Newt and Theseus finally start to get along, how what happened in Paris makes them bond and finally look out for each other. It is clear that Newt and Theseus didn’t get along perfectly in the past and they most likely won’t in the future, and it’s not too easy for Newt to connect with other people – that’s why I think that him and Theseus getting closer would be more valuable a development than just taking Theseus away.

Theseus is a high-ranked ministry official. He has inside information and could therefore be very valuable for the plot. Also, the corruption and political change of the society could be pointed out through his eyes. These are things Newt is not so much interested in.

I see a lot of reasons Theseus could get along with Tina and Jacob very well. It has been pointed out several times that there seem to be lots of parallels between Tina and Theseus, so I will concentrate on Jacob: They both have lost their fiancée, plus Jacob lost a brother in the war, so maybe he can understand that Theseus often behaves patronizing, out of concern for Newt. (But I’m not sure if this can be counted as an argument to let Theseus live. It rather shows how he could come in regarding the group's dynamic from my pov.)

Through his eyes, we learn to see Newt from a different perspective: He can be rather annoying and stubborn, something that didn’t become so clear in the first film when we didn’t see his behavior towards Theseus. I feel like Theseus' perspective adds depth to Newts character (and Newt should be the protagonist!!) and I love it.

I'm sure there is a loooot more to say about this, but that's what came to my mind this afternoon. Also, some of these points are influenced by conversations I had with several people, and I can’t remember who said what (but I think in general points were made by @thenewt-case, @occamyeggshells, @scamanderishredmayniac and @raztberry – so please feel free to complain if you feel like I should credit you or if I forgot sb.!).

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2018 3PM

Seattle native Ted Vigil returns to The Newton Theatre for his annual tribute to John Denver in a family fun Christmas Special.

“I do it as a tribute, not as a first person (impersonator),” said Vigil. “I met a sound engineer and a pilot that knew him. They said I should seriously do a tribute show, with my voice and my look. I really switched gears. Some of his music has a rock feel, some of his music has a pop feel. I went to Aspen and I met some of the people he worked with. I met his mother and I met his brother. I really got a feel for his inspiration and what he was about."

Ted has performed at John Denver’s own “Windstar Foundation” in Aspen, Colorado with the late Steve Wiesberg, John Denver’s lead guitar player from 2010 to 2014. Wiesberg  said “Apparently the audience thinks they all look and sound like John. I don’t see it. I see it with Ted. A very strong physical resemblance… Uncanny!”  

The most heard comments after a Ted Vigil show are “I can’t believe how much he looks and sounds like John Denver! It really took us back!” A long-time Denver fan commented they were “completely blown away by Ted Vigil. From the moment he set foot on the stage, I was mesmerized by his voice and his incredible resemblance to the late and great John Denver.”

In the winter evergreen ferns can add interest to a garden. At The Newt, Somerset, UK, a wide range of fern species are used in shaded areas such as the north side of walls and underneath the tree canopy.

So Tumblr is filtering out NSFW content

A good chunk of my blog is NSFW so whatever happens happens. This blog was definitely multipurpose for me including using references which were in fact NSFW. Now I’m frustrated cause it’s going to be hard finding what I’m looking for. 

ANYWAY

You can find me on Wattpad under InfiniteTeal and TheNewTeal. I am also on Ao3 for my fan fictions. I also have an Inkitt account as well.

If you want, you can follow me on my personal social media, but I don’t post a lot of anime, fandom content, or NSFW content on either accounts. I’m considering following artists or making another twitter so I can keep up with what’s going on in a few fandoms but I don’t know yet. If you would like to follow me on my personal accounts you can ask and I'll be happy to give it to you.  I also might make a separate Twitter just for all my anime and nsfw content since all of my favorite artists are moving as well, but more on that when I actually make the Twitter.

There have been a few platforms circulating around that may be an alternative to Tumblr. I can’t really say much about any of them yet since I don’t know that much, and I’m not even sure if I would move or not. 

Here are some posts about Pillowfort: x x x

Piczel.tv

Other Alternatives

I have also reblogged a few posts about Pillowfort and other platforms that people are switching to. Right now, I’m not sure I will move to another platform yet and I probably won’t delete this blog either. I might turn it into a pet blog where it’s just cute animal things and whatnot. 

Hope to see y’all on the flip side
