Hanahaki disease is a psychosomatic illness. It's a thing that your body does in response to stress over constantly repressing/concealing your feelings in settings with high background magic. It's like you've been ignoring pain for a long time and suddenly your vision starts going dark, because your affected body is just YANKING on random alerts trying to get you to PAY ATTENTION there is a PROBLEM. Yes the flowers do really exist. So do non-magical psychosomatic symptoms. The flowers aren't special.

This does of course open up the trope to options for non-romantic concealed feelings. Which I think is great. There is something viscerally satisfying about the person who seems so outwardly chipper coughing and hacking and spitting up Depression Flowers so now everyone has to know they're hurting. Isn't there?

Hanahaki, but it's a child that feels neglected by their parents.

Hanahaki, but it's someone whose friends have started ghosting them.

Hanahaki, someone's wife is cheating on them.

Hanahaki, the disease that gives you three options: confront your feelings, destroy the love you hold for someone or perish choking on roses.

Okay so I saw this special illustration and I cannot help but wonder who's the baby Fuki's nursemaid, Tsuyu is holding and showing to Yukiko??

I did remember reading from the website regarding the cast of Hebigami and know that Fuki gave birth but I'm not sure who's this third baby

Fairly sure this is Yukiko's firstborn daughter, just without the covering obscuring her face. You can see her in the relationship chart the official Twitter account posted a few months ago.

Btw, source for the illustration featured in the ask is here: [Source]

I’ve got a lot of Thoughts(tm) about The Odyssey at the moment, but damnit Blum I’m an archer, not a film critic, so here’s something in my lane!

[dragonesseclectic]

As someone who read the Odyssey translation all the way through, I note that Odysseus's bow was not a standard Greek bow (whatever those were like). It was a storied bow that went through many illustrious hands before being gifted to him, that originated with the steppe nomads--i.e., it was a Scythian horse bow. A composite bow that is impossible to string if you don't know the trick of it. Blum doesn't mention that, but his brief diagram was that of a composite bow, so I assume he knows that.

Also the axe heads thing? That was a test of accuracy and adequate draw, not armor-piercing. Axe heads had a hole through them for mounting on the haft. Line up twelve of those with the holes in a line, and you have to shoot very straight to go through all 12 holes. Also the bow has to be correctly drawn or the arrow will drop during flight due to lack of kinetic energy and fail to go through all 12 holes. Arrows from a partially-drawn bow (lack of strength), or badly-strung bow (as demonstrated) won't fly straight and true.

it's really funny how the entire world basically just blew the fuck up six short years ago and nobody wants to admit that that may have had some lasting consequences lmao

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

like so much of Everything today is premised on the idea that the earth-shattering catastrophe which happened within living memory of everyone older than a third grader has had no meaningful material or psychological effects on the general public and i don't think that's good, lol.

"(some of) the top-line economic indicators (sorta) recovered (in most places) so everything is fine and we don't need to talk about it" is not a sustainable framework for interfacing with reality

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

"why is everyone so angry and paranoid now?" "why is politics so dysfunctional now?" "why is [x] [y] and [z] now? blah blah blah"

We’ve all heard tales of the moon being made of cheese, but what if it were made of bones? Bone fragments. Bone dust. Partial skeletons from animals we have no name for, no knowledge of. What if the moon were made of bones?

I finally finished my self-insert reference sheet! While I was at it, I also made a fake screen. Honestly, I'm really proud of how it turned out. ✨💖
