Tree Love January 2024

“I love walking in the woods, along the trails, by the beaches. I love being part of nature. I love walking alone. It is therapy. One needs to be alone, to recharge one’s batteries.” ~ Grace Kelly While traveling across Nilgiri forest enroute pykara lake in Ooty, I was memserised by this green spread. This foliage was picture worthy.   We cannot overemphasize forests’ vital role in life on earth…

In The Beginning (Good Omens x FFXIV AU) [1-2/8] [next]

In a land still plagued by the shadows of the Seventh Umbral Calamity, before heroes awakened once more to answer Hydaelyn's call and save the world, two strangers (of sorts) meet in a garden (of sorts).

The original page of scribbles that spawned this AU:

This was supposed to be a one-off thing but I keep coming back to it and. here we are I'm back at it again. The rest will happen when they happen I can make no promises

Idk I kinda hope it was a bug bc like. It's WILD to me that anyone would like Halsin if how he acted in my game is how he's supposed to act.

First you tell me you don't care about my opinion at the tiefling party (after I COMPLIMENTED you?????) AND THEN you come on to me in act 3 (which ok fair I did just save you from Orin and I am hot who can blame you) but when I turn you down by saying I don't see you that way, you blow up! "You treated me as a lover, not a friend" So I should have let Orin kill you???

new oc !!!!

It sits in anticipation...

Left. Not forgotten, not abandoned. It waits.

It is a hope, a chance, a reason. A celebration.

It is an invitation. An invocation. "Come", it says. "Dance with me."

Weltmeisterschaft im Baum umarmen - TreeHugging

Finnland - schon vier Jahre hält die Weltmeisterschaft im Baum umarmen durch. Heute, am 18. August 2023, ist es das vierte Mal soweit. Im mystischen HaliPuu-Wald (Warum mystisch? Ein Wald, in dem eine derartige Weltmeisterschaft stattfindet, muss einfach mystisch sein.) in Levi findet wohl einer der kuriosesten Wettkämpfe überhaupt statt – die offizielle Treehugging-Weltmeisterschaft. In Finnisch-Lappland treffen sich seitdem Baumumarmerinnen und Baumumarmer aus der ganzen Welt, wie auch die letztjährige Online TreeHugging-Weltmeisterin Kristen Barnette aus den Vereinigten Staaten. Bei diesem internationalen Ereignis, welches über die Jahre stetig an Popularität gewann, steht ein Ziel an oberster Stelle: Die Herstellung und Erhaltung einer aufrichtigen Verbindung zwischen Mensch und Natur – und welches Land wäre dafür schon besser geeignet als das nordische Naturparadies Finnland, das waldreichste Land Europas.

Warum TreeHugging?

Das Baumumarmen soll dabei helfen, sich mit der Natur zu verbinden und seinen inneren Frieden und Gleichgewicht zu finden. Dabei besitzt diese Aktivität eine fast schon meditative Komponente – in einer Kombination aus nachhaltigem Spaß sowie einer sinnlichen Verbindung zur Natur. Aber nicht erst seit Beginn der Weltmeisterschaften vor vier Jahren ist das Umarmen von Bäumen typisch finnisch – schon seit 2016 existiert in Finnland eine nationale Baumumarmungswoche. Das Unternehmen HaliPuu (https://www.halipuu.com/) hat die Weltmeisterschaften ursprünglich ins Leben gerufen und organisiert diese seit 2020. Ziel ist es, jedem dabei zu helfen, die Liebe zur Natur und natürlich insbesondere zu Bäumen aller Art zu entdecken und erleben. Der diesjährige Wettbewerb wird in Zusammenarbeit mit Greentrek (https://www.greentrek.fi/) realisiert. 

Die Weltmeisterschaft

Die TreeHugging World Championships im HaliPuu-Wald in Levi finden dieses Jahr am Samstag, den 19. August um 12 Uhr MEZ statt. Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist für alle kostenlos – die Anmeldung an der Veranstaltung ist unter https://www.halipuu.com/treehuggingworldchampionships/ möglich. HaliPuu wählt die Teilnehmer aus, die dann zu der offiziellen Veranstaltung vor Ort in Levi eingeladen werden. Die Kontrahenten müssen dabei in drei verschiedenen Disziplinen gegeneinander antreten, die von einer Jury bewertet werden:  - Speedhugging – Gewinner ist, wer die meisten Bäume innerhalb einer Minute umarmt, - Dedication – hier gewinnt die hingebungsvollste Umarmung eines bestimmten Baumes. Der Baum darf dabei vom Teilnehmer persönlich ausgesucht werden und maximal eine Minute lang umarmt werden, - Freestyle – es zählt die kreativste Umarmung; der Umarmungsstil darf vom Teilnehmer offen interpretiert werden. Tickets, um sich die Weltmeisterschaft anzuschauen, können hier erworben werden.

Der Online-Wettbewerb für Baumliebhaber auf der ganzen Welt

Wer trotzdem mitmachen möchte, jedoch nicht in Levi dabei sein kann, hat die Möglichkeit an der Online-Veranstaltung teilzunehmen, die parallel zur Live-Weltmeisterschaft stattfindet. Die Online-TreeHugging-Weltmeisterschaft ist ein Bilderwettbewerb mit der Chance auf tolle Preise und eine offizielle Einladung zur Teilnahme an der TreeHugging-Weltmeisterschaft 2024 in Levi. Die Teilnahme an dem Online-Wettbewerb ist ganz einfach: 1. Der Teilnehmer muss seinen persönlichen Lieblingsbaum finden, diesen umarmen und ein Foto davon machen. Diese Umarmung muss dann auf Instagram oder Facebook mit den beiden Hashtags #TreeHugging2023 und #HaliPuu bis zum 26. August 2023 um 11 Uhr MEZ veröffentlicht werden.  2. Darüber hinaus muss der Teilnehmer beschreiben, weshalb er diesen speziellen Baum oder Baumumarmungen generell liebt. Der Gewinner des Online-Wettbewerbs wird am Sonntag, den 27. August, auf den sozialen Medien von HaliPuu bekannt gegeben.  Für uns stellt sich nur eine Frage: Wann wird TreeHugging Olympische Disziplin? Weitere Informationen zur diesjährigen TreeHugging-Weltmeisterschaft sowie der offizielle Livestream sind unter https://www.halipuu.com/treehuggingworldchampionships/ und https://www.instagram.com/LeviLapland/ zu finden.

Some of you know I love climbing 🌳. Part of my journey is to show you different exercises you can perform on different trees that will immensely improve your physique. What makes exercising my way different is that it will teach your body to adapt to working out 🏋️ on an unstable surface with unpredictable tension and Flexion you will impose on all of your body’s muscles working them all simultaneously. No other type of fitness can offer you this. It will help you recover quicker from injury. All I can add is watch and learn. There will be a tree out there just for you. #primal #tarzan #learninnature #immerseyourselfinnature #treeclimbing #treehugging #improveyourphysique #beunique https://www.instagram.com/p/CkUBhHGDVO-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As a fan of D&D and animated shows, have you been keeping up with the legend of vox machina?

Yea! I haven't seen the very latest episode yet but I've watched the first five.

I continue to enjoy how it's treating the original game as a first draft and doing some rearrangements in the adaptation to improve pacing, flow, and general sense-making - like how Vax's extremely busted Boots of Speed have been integrated into the functionality of his god-champion-artifact armor, and why they changed Vex's near-death experience last season to Keyleth taking the bullet for her because Vex's actual-death experience this season was going to be very important story-wise but mechanically played out very similarly to the first one (one-shotted by dark magic in an area that suppresses magical healing) and having it happen twice would've weakened the impact. Personally I think in an ideal world we'd be getting a lot more time per season to let the characters breathe - the pacing of the original series is frankly very slow, bordering on unwatchable for certain attention spans, but the pacing of this season is kinda breakneck in comparison and characters are getting big upgrades and moments of revelation quite often, which isn't bad but feels like it could have a little more punch if they had a longer windup. Still, that's the nature of the level-based beast and it's not a complaint, just a little tickle in the back of my head.

The animation continues to be gorgeous, and while the 2D-3D blending of the visuals feels a little weird sometimes, I think it works in-story that the 3D-rendered dragons look very different to everyone around them, since it makes them feel more otherworldly and terrifying. I also like that they don't really look like their Official D&D Counterparts, and the way they've respec'd their breath weapons into things like "wings constantly leaking acid" is really neat.

I also think the way they've shifted the magic system is very interesting. D&D has extremely hard-magic rules on who can cast what spells at what time based on what they know or have prepared. The show dials that way back and treats it a little more hand-wavey, though they'll still hint at the spell slot system with casters being like "sorry I'm out of juice" or "I think I can only do it once a day" which is cute. But this shift to a softer magic system does mean the more versatile casters, mostly Keyleth, seem like they can kind of just do anything depending on the needs of the scene - which is obviously not what is mechanically happening, but because we can't see her spell list or class features it's kind of what it feels like. She has all the standard element-manipulation and druid shapeshifting/treehugging stuff, but we also see her bust out the power of the sun and turn into a giant fire monster, which doesn't feel quite as connected to the rest of her powerset - it makes sense if you squint, but in the moment there's a little lurch of "where did THAT come from?" Now that's not bad writing on the show's part, it's a holdover from the inconsistency of D&D's spell lists. It DOES feel weird that a wind magic specialist could cast Sunbeam just because they hit level 11. Narratively what this indicates is that Keyleth is frankly ridiculously reality-warpingly powerful and doesn't really know her own strength yet, which is top-notch characterization and very consistently demonstrated in-show, but it does invite that one storytelling bugaboo of "how are the heroes gonna solve this one? …………magic." It's subletting a townhouse in the suburbs of The Power Was Within You All Along.

Overall really liking it so far!

someone should make an art exhibition based on how much israel has accelerated climate change n how much genocide contributes to emissions in the name of "freedom" cus sometimes i think treehugging is the only way to get a lot of white ppl to care abt issues that dont directly effect north america.

Briefly forget Rex was a treehugging werewolf and wonder what the fuck Melchior was thinking...
