#blazons

[lifeinpoetry]

Do I think that my averted gaze nullifies suffering? First of all; I maim myself.

Although I’m manifestly ‘not my type,’ the one in my bed this morning was, all the same, myself.

Not Elektra, Iphigenia or Clytemnestra, I’ll remain an unsung keeper of the flame myself.

— Marilyn Hacker, from “Ghazal: Myself,” Blazons

clicks open the golden lighter ,   hearing it bleep in his hand , and throws it over the umbrella shield , hiding and awaiting the explosion.     and yes , it occurs , debris flying everywhere , amidst the smell of burning clothes and smoke and the sounds of screams  --------------------  but they’re still coming strong , and he’s running out of ammunition.     checks his gun , ducking beneath the shield.       

❛    fuck   !    ‘m all out   !    ❜

Grief’s radical subtraction enacted, may there be some countersurge, reaction of self-sufficient joy at a rainy intersection.

Blazoning the running gags I retained instead of having a personality.

In addition to eating my feelings, I occasionally remember to blazon my feelings, too.

The tiles blazons of the two civil parishes (freguesias) of Campo Maior: São João Baptista (Saint John The Baptist) and Our Lady of Expectation (Nossa Senhora da Expectação).

I absolutely love these local blazons - there is something about them.

Kingdom New Lands Blazon Guide for the Hogwarts Houses

1. Gryffindor

1.1 Meh

Code: GOLD PARTY PER CROSS RED A LION PERU

Reason: It’s Peru brown since any combination of yellow and gold makes a neon mess and the lion is almost impossible to see. Eh, well, lions are brown anyway,

1.2 Awesome

Code: RED PARTY PER CROSS TAN A LION GOLD

Reason: You can’t put an orange color to the charge (in this case, the lion) due to a bug in the game. So I compromised using Peru brown again. As for the Tan, let’s just say it doesn’t look as legit as when I use white, and using yellow or gold just makes this a reverse of the Old crest. 

2. Hufflepuff

2.1 Old

CODE: YELLOW PARTY PER CROSS BLACK A BEAR SABLE

Reason: As there are no badgers, I used the bear. Considering how skinny the bear is, it looked rather fitting as a standing-up badger. I used Sable just to avoid using Grey, but feel free to change if you want to.

2.2 New

Code: YELLOW BENDY BLACK A BEAR GREY

Reason: I...have no excuse for this. It looks terrible, but I’m following the crest as much as I can. If you want, you can switch the Black for a Sable and the Grey for a Black.

3. Ravenclaw

3.1 Antiquated

Code: CYAN A CHIEF CYAN AN EAGLE SABLE

Reason: *cowers in a corner* I’m just following the crest, I swear, it’s not my fault Kingdom blazons are so limited please don’t kill me-

On a side-note, if you want the traditional colors of blue and bronze, change all the Cyans to Navy and the Sable to Sienna.

3.2 Contemporary

CODE: BLUE BENDY SINISTER NAVY AN EAGLE SIENNA

Reason: Obviously, I cheated a bit. Come on! There’s only so much blue a girl can stand. Also, this looks better than any blue charge I’ve tried.

4. Slytherin

4.1 Ancient

Code: GREEN CHEVRONNY GREEN A SNAKE SILVER

Reason: So very few green colors to choose from, and green just happens o be the darkest. Oh well.

4.2 Cutting-Edge

P.S: I can’t get a good picture :’(

Code: VERT A SALTIRE GREEN A SNAKE SILVER

Reason: You can change it from Silver to Grey, but it really doesn’t change how near-white it is, so I just sighed and moved on.
