#verdigris the peacock

[floofgryph]

*All was peaceful for Ames, she was just in her bedroom playing with some of her life like plushies*

@the-plushie-friendships

Outside of Ames' place is an angel with twenty gargantuan, yet glistening European bee-eater wings with peacock feathers sticking out. She has snow-white skin, purple apatite eyes, and black claws and talons. She has long, layered hair of coppery red with curtain bangs and slight curls. She dons a full suit of plate armour that appears to be made from gleaming, slightly battle-worn gold. It has a carmine lustre and she’s also wearing a half-skirt of verdigris with yellow-orange and amaranth purple geometric shapes.

She's carrying around a claymore made from red clay, clouds, and the primordial mist, and it has six eyes of purple agate in a vertical row. The blade is slightly curved and it seems to be covered in a translucent, honey-like substance. However, she seems to be in a tranquil and loving state of mind. She quietly admires the natural environment.

Buzzing

The One-Thousand-And-One Names of the Honey-Sweet were all aflutter, congregating in twos and threes under the tangled roots of the Woods, and gathering in great numbers around the verdigris-rotted skulls that littered the Gardens. Even the most errant of dreamers fled in the face of the whirling whispering horde, scrabbling up to the higher reaches of the House or otherwise crawling back into the dullness of the evening in order to escape the never-ending buzz of gossip. Listen! The humdingerous gloating of the Seventy-Fifth Name swarms around the yellow nausea of its sodium-bright shell all scritchscratch-like, begging to be reunited with the thick yolk-fat that spawned them. They speak thusly: asussurashiverousesisizzzzetheriverrun through reflectfracted Bird and Beasts of the harnt and her mother’s clutch’s crimson estained. The cause of all this worrying at old bones was the Peacock. Not since the selenous events of sevenfold centuries ago had such insolence been shown to everything that laird under the Glory. The æffulence of its entrance was unparalleled, and in no time at all it had begun to seep through the wyrmholes and wormholes and bloomed up through the bleached mass of the sea. The seas’re clawed with ice and spite / The antideludian lamprey's light / Are we so different, you and I? One dilly-dappled Name maintained that the intruder should be ignored. Ineffortably that it would wander into the Gardens and be dealt with. Another gull-mantled Name declared that it to be a mewt point, as this new Hour was clearly too mighty to be turned, and too much of a loon to be negoutiated with, and so a petral should be set up in order to ensnatch it. After three nights, agreement to anything was scarce to be found, and thus the Calxedony declared the meeting over, which everyone ignored. Instarr’d’s embezzlement dazzle’d them on’t’s blank slopes but she isn’t your beau rose. Tempt estat Rosa pristina and so the disremembered gnonsis of ubisequious nonces is lost in the storm and I survive antinomine: the embergreed’s all-confuming and inconstant noble.

[demigodsalvia]

Paint me as a dead soul

With a halo of black joy

Medusa in a mirror

Etched out in acid

The flesh, the image, the reflection

One who dwells in scarlet darkness

Like animals in palaces

Drawing blood

The flesh, the image, the reflection

Let's complete the illusion

Paint me as you see me

From memory or history

In a fever or a frenzy

Paint your lucid dreams and visions

In a chamber of nightmares

In a temple of locusts

So violent, vile and vivid

May the colours make you fearful

Blind and hypnotizing

In our subterranean heaven

Paint my cunt with dragonflies

My eyes as bright as diamonds

My heart open like an ulcer

Or a sacred crimson rose

Bathed in blood

Or drowning in my bed

With the fragrance from the flowers

In the gardens of the dead

Paint ghostly foxes, cats and camels

A red dog and a black dog

Paint a putrid sunset

In verdigris and violet

Ochre, amber, mauve

Four monks

Carrying a goat

Over the snows

To nowhere

And paint the shades

That come with evening

Peacock angels

Dream of leaving

Paint me as you see me

Paint me as I see me

Paint me as a dead soul

Craft

I – Old But Recent Craft

I make pollicitations to cunning bards past,

Place of old poets thy Parnassian pasts immortal

Your past-prime virtues now victuals to vexers who make you victims of gaunt learning or love-chagrinning solar sojourns.

In dissecting I seek to neither venerate nor eviscerate,

My lancet taps ichor and flowing essential claret extravasates into my peering vessel.

Thy outmoded phrase mould-grown with distant expiry

No narrative celerity, thesauring see-saw dramatics a periodical demands,

Every week three periods peering at readers from third-page’s bottom,

Thrills tamed by time and taste once titillating tedious in this time.

Thy foliate phrase, verbiage of verdigris lassos vellum psalters,

Thy posies a peony petal, all peacock and whorl and headdress whore,

Paean the paintaker, Olympians admit pain to him and that’s power,

Your prosody pain admits, therefore healing;

Thy hidden candour rebuffed at new millennium’s limen.

Though your age is gone your undimmed beauty hymns its genius;

Plain wonders have no want of sophisticated oration, your watchmaker exactitude.

Yet thy lofty compilation succours, common experience inalienable shouted across time;

Grasp solution from trials of antient persons,

Relay race of determined ancestors going to the edge of where they could;

Meeting the next; handing over the bundle; doggedly going on to the edge of where they could;

Chipped statue by whose feet I find tucked tools and a book of knowledge,

What next but to begin eking out its remainder.

Go now in peace.

Let nephew-taken arms be guided back to bedchambers.

Now, you have not even a ghost’s power to stir a naked flame,

I kiss your head, extinguish it for you then take your bundle,

Old things put to bed the poet’s pasture,

Portcullis rumbling closed; nyctinasty of shutting lids.

II – Abilities

Thy craft lend,

Blend fire and sight,

Twin utterance and song.

Elucidate right and wrong ways:

No nobled blood shall in pitying patronage let me a manse’s reign (though I would accept kindness); if ere my Rilken silks theretrod and heard the poem-rousing voice of One sublime,

What slithered forth would little pertain to angels or their kin;

Less of spheres, more of fears, of swarthy firesouled Djinn.

Poets old, lend fire to sight,

Born-drab wonders burgeoning blessings in birdfeather.

Helmetless pollard of hewn head foment fruitful trees.

Thy azure fontange sublimes, easy harmony highway of momentary animals graced by Peace.

You, most beautiful bard, goddess-regarding Minyan;

Three’s minion, golden means, many-death man of rhymes;

Welch Fusilier, cruiserweight bruiser, Claudian evocator.

Divine day isle of Deia, forth from Graves

Ridge of your grave peeking bird-nest head.

III. Pig Dreams

I wish I had been born a boar before scribes at history pawed,

Roamed landscapes untouched save for His indelible signature.

Sent between scents bounding boyish

No more to wonder what has meaning, lost amidst sensuous rapture.

Copse busy with never-stood-still, circled by timeless rings of never-moved.

No more to wonder but to wander;

Meaning forge no more, nor dreaming;

No more to lie abed dreading day’s dredging.

Escaping quietly as an anxious is elation. 

Crowd huddled in a pleasure dome which I am far outside

Rain hits rim and bounces off, their words against my pride. 

No more abed dreading day, hoping dawn’s netted dappling knells my demise.

Dare toward the dredgings of the day, for dusk will dive regardless 

Strive to be innocent of mortality, living immortally 

Though at birth they cut my stem and watched my slow death unfold 

I will make lofty plans which a sage’s duration could not fulfil,

Embracing deterioration of accomplishment

Teasing out music from wreckage, bent fender vespers

At roadside rent asunder wonders warped wonderfully.

What has definition finds further definition; finds distinction; sublimes.

IV – Bindweed Lilies Near The Hospital

Six summers gleeful still, plucking bindweed lilies from grille-gemmed hedges,

Flowers plucked quickly die but how stationed this demise,

Work of ages accomplished momentarily:

White petals sprout spreading brown veins

Until limp and lined its back-peeled diameters meet;

My birth and death and that between duration of wind-pushed flames. 

The music lasts just its moment but we rarely weep its close.

Each life the span of a universe’s most ambitious empire yet,

Exceeding forebears in extent, fanned-cards of possibly destinies.

Exhausted fate and errant miraculous presiding,

Placing bindweed lilies into the empty vase on the crying lady’s table,

Silks and satins and soft words.

Unbudged font of mercy,

What every woman and no man knows, that lilies are not children. 

[smoochesforghost]

I really like Katsumi the fox! Do you have a backstory for him?

ive got bits of it here n there,,

katsumi previously worked as a hitman and would take out whoever was put on their hitlist - their last request being overseas, requested by the leader of the VVISP squad - verdigris v. 

after being caught off-guard by having their sender appear at the scene, verdigris requested that, with katsumis agile and stealthy work, they take out sonic, deeming them capable of doing so

on their way to sunset city, katsumi rescues meira, who had been under attack by badniks. as they introduce themselves to one another, katsumi learns of the war going on and of the resistance, to which meira was shocked that they hadnt known about it, let alone come to the warzone of their own accord. when asked why, katsumi says that a friend called them over. assuming that meant a call for help, meira asks katsumi to join the resistance, seeing as they were able to handle a group of badniks without the need of a weapon. katsumi accepts, figuring that they would be able to find sonic through them - cue present katsumi, who finds themself helping out the resistance and begins to forget about their target the longer they stay with them.

Secret-Diary’s Colour Wheel... OF DOOOOOOM!

So, I started writing this for my own personal reference, but then it was funny, so now it’s a blog. There, that’s your origin story: now here’s me attempting to describe obscure colours in way that will make you see them in your head, when I could just show you a swatch and have done with it.

Incarnadine Dark, lustrous red- almost like blood. The deep kind I mean, not the fresh, red kind that happens when you cut yourself. If you cut yourself lightly and your blood is Incarnadine, you might want to seek medical attention.

Sarcoline Light, almost fleshy pink. Like a newborn homunculus, or Boris Johnson’s terrifyingly baby-like face during a press conference.

Gingerline Orangey-yellow, sometimes held to be darker than regular ginger, but also sometimes also thought to be lighter. The word is super flexible about the exact colour it refers to, but the hue reminds me of the Spice Melange before it goes all blue and an Atreides shoves it up their hooter.

Skobeloff Dark teal. A bit peacock-y. Yeah, it’s not super exciting or unique or hard to describe, but ‘skobeloff’ is a transcendently brilliant word.

Aureolin Golden yellow with maybe a teeny tiny snip of orange in the mix. It’s actually a really nice colour, but not quite as nice as…

Gamboge Browny, orangey, reddy, and yellowy all at once. If autumn could be summed up in one colour, it’d be this bad boy.

Coquelicot A really nice word for ‘poppy red’. Also it has the word ‘coq’ in it, so it’s funny.

Chartreuse Bright green with a dash of yellow. A really extra type of lime.

Celadon You know that ace Art Deco Green that teapots and lamps sometimes are? Yeah- this is the name for that.

Phlox A highly saturated violet that’s slightly more blue than red. Sounds like a deep-space phenomenon in a sci-fi show from the nineties, but it’s actually named after a flower.

Glaucous Icy blue, but slightly darker than what you initially pictured when I said ‘icy blue’. Think ‘deep permafrost’ rather than ‘ice cube’.

Cerulean Now think ‘ice cube’. Or think ‘bluebird with frostbite’.

Viridian Bluish-green; a bit dark; more green than blue. Very useful if you’ve already used ‘verdigris’, ‘emerald’ and ‘teal’ when describing an alien forest. Also comes in handy if you need to explain the colour of rusted copper to an idiot.

Verdigris A nice, rusty sort of green-blue. Very coppery. Even more so than Viridian. Fuck you, Viridian!

Lapis Lazuli HOW MUCH BLUE DO YOU WANT BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL THE FUCKING BLUE RIGHT HERE MOTHERFUCKER!

Jaundice Similar to gamboge, but a lot less fun.

Periwinkle Light, greyish purple. Purple for people who can’t fucking commit.

Heliotrope A nice, light purple. A bit lilacesque. Use it in a sentence to sound posh and impress the gullible.

Calamine Light, not-super-saturated pink. A bit of a ‘romance colour’, if you catch my drift.

Cerise A dark, broody magenta. A man’s man’s magenta. Magenta for people who would shoot actual magenta and mount it in their pool hall.

Tyrian Not to be confused with the dwarf of the same but differently-spelled name. A really dark mauve. Mauve for Goths.

Azure The blue you thought the sky would be in Italy before you went there and spent half the time dying of heat-stroke and the other half getting rained on because Italy’s weather is in a permanent state of emotional meltdown.

Persimmon You know those dark, orangey-red lines that pattern the surface of still-warm coals? That’s basically persimmon. Alternatively, it’s the colour that the sky went that time I had the flu and I thought the fucking world might be ending because nobody had told me it was just a random dust-storm from the African plains somehow reaching England.

Vermilion Darkish red, but a really nice darkish red. The kind of darkish red that you might want an armchair in a private library to be, or that a Lannister would wear when going on a date with a close blood-relation.

Obsidian Black, but not in a racist way.

Sable A more racy version of obsidian. Note I said ‘racy’, still not ‘racist’.

Onyx Can’t decide between black and grey? Onyx has got your back, dawg.

Laurel A greyish, olive-green. Pairs well with Hardy.

Citrine Have ever wished there was a word for ‘golden yellow, but not in a healthy way’? Well, here it is. Citrine is a lovely word, but the colour to which it refers is the colour of your urine after a night of terrible, terrible decisions, or of a lemon that’s seen better days.

And that’s it- my favourite colours… SO FAR!

Spells

meme → halloween asks topic → spells: do you believe in magic? what business? → queries

Those streets later became the scene of Kaz Brekker’s nightmares, and the kingdom he would one day lay claim to, but for that brief time, they were a new puzzle. With his hand tucked into Jordie’s, for the very first time, Kaz saw magic.

There were firebreathers, acrobats, flamboyant displays of all kinds. Anything that could be proven entertaining was found in the city, and yet, Kaz peered past it and he saw the glint of a coin on someone’s palm. He’d been mesmerized almost immediately, awestruck by the way it moved and he couldn’t discern how. Kaz had always been a smart kid. He recalled one day, one of his earliest memories, his Da being surprised by how fast he’d learned something. How his sentences came together with an ease, and his Da would proclaim that he had his Ma’s intelligence. Da would look fondly toward the window, and Kaz wouldn’t understand, but he was always proud anyway. 

As long as he could remember, mental things came easily to him. Reading, writing, maths, it all came with a kind of comfort that he savored. They were each little puzzles to unlock. 

But that coin, moving through the performer’s slotted fingers and reappearing, it stumped him. It echoed his mind for the rest of the night and into the next day, as he tried to get it again and again. He could have asked someone how it worked, but he doubted the performers would give away their secrets - and even if they would, he wanted to do it himself. It didn’t work if people gave you the answer. You had to solve the puzzle yourself.

He kept going, kept trying, until he had blisters all over his knuckles. 

After Jordie died, one of the things that kept him focused and helped to bring him back when he was too upset over his brother was trying to learn that coin trick. Huddling in an alley, starving and half-frozen, he had the coin and kept going. At one point, he’d wanted to give up, convinced that there was real magic in the coin turns - that whoever had manipulated it had something beyond the world he knew, that he existed in a land where metal could be manipulated as easily as clay. 

The day he finally learned the trick was the day, it solidified something new in Kaz Brekker; that there was no magic in the world. Not really. But he could fake it long enough to fool a few pigeons. 

━ ⋅𖥔⋅ ━━✶━━ ⋅𖥔⋅ ━

She had come into his life in a riot of silk and peacock feathers, indigo and olive and verdigris. A pretty girl, a lie swathed in sheaths of lavender. And when they fell, he realized that the colors of her costumes paled in comparison to the devout, brave, intelligent girl’s shades of bronze and onyx. 

There was something special about Inej. Against his better judgement, Kaz would remind her just how skilled she was. He’d gained a great deal in life simply by appearing confident, and she needed to wear confidence like he did. But it wasn’t the skillset that made her special, although that was all Kaz revealed. She was brighter than anything else in the dark city of storms and barter, her courage shattering its dim weather and breathing light into his world. 

Up on the window ledge, light slipped in as his wraith did in the cracks of their city, settling in on the windowsill and bursting past all limits of locked doors and armored hearts. Her hair spilled like dark velvet down slender shoulders, and her onyx eyes shown with light and joy, the kind that was never to be found in his world. They glinted with an inner sun, as if she’d swallowed stars and was lit from within. 

And she was kind. 

Anyone could be beautiful. Anyone could be a pretty face to look at, a body to fuck, and it mattered so little in a world where life could change with any amount of money or success. But there was magic in being kind. There was magic in wringing kindness from the worst the world had to offer, and there was magic in seeing strength where one was broken and there was magic in love. The kind of magic that couldn’t be found in the blood controlled by pale hands or the twist of fire in a fist. This was uncontrolled magic, the kind found in a world where wraiths dipped from the heavens of aerial silks and brushed fingertips with the shadows slipping over cobblestone. The magic that could turn a non-believer into a devout worshipper of saints. 

She had to be a saint. Light had never shivered into his den until she was there to bask in it. So long as Inej didn’t vanish, neither did the magic in the world. And to him, she never vanished once she appeared.

[greenestcoat]

A fun new thing I have learned while dyeing my hair blue the last few weeks is that all of the hair that’s turned white in the last four years (due to a combination of illness and genetics) takes colour MUCH better than the rest of my hair. Currently the streak of peacock-turquoise in my hair is like, 5 different shades of greenish-blue, including sort of verdigris where the brown is still showing through pretty strongly. But then there’s just threads of BRIGHT turquoise because those were white to start with. Kind of neat.
