Well, it feels like an appropriate day to be done with this project!
Egbert
Tumblr media
I was originally going to go entirely gold for this? But instead I went in on Egbert, leader of the church of La Vache Mauve. I was kind of going for a stained glass thing? But it proved almost impossible to photograph, so you may just have to trust me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A few details (which are not color corrected, it's kind of in between these values)! And of course, couldn't let him go without moonbeam.
And that's it! I've really enjoyed doing this project. I don't really have plans for anything else right now, but I'm not ruling it out, either.

Affectations
Word count: 480
Ship: None – interactions btwn Aurelia (s/i) and V/ox M/achina
Warnings: none
Uhhhhh lil minific below the cut... tiny bit of backstory for one of Aurelia's character quirks + the party's response 👉👈
"...and... there you have it. That's why I'm so obsessed with my jewelry."
Aurelia's voice was quieter than usual as she spoke to the party. An offhand comment from a stranger was all it took – something about how typical it was for a dragon to hoard trinkets and baubles it didn't need. That was all it took for the usually reserved and polite dragonborn to utterly burst into tears in the middle of the quiet street.
She'd told them everything, once they'd gotten somewhere they could all rest – how she, a dragonborn child growing up among human peers, not once ever seeing another like her, always the subject of their hatred. Always told to keep herself small and quiet, to never once make herself stand out lest she become even more of an outcast. To just behave.
"I wear all this jewelry..." Aurelia sighed, tipping her head down, leading the various earrings and cuffs on her crest to jingle slightly, as she idly toyed with a pair of bangles on her wrist, "because it's the best thing I can do to really be me. It... it lets me be myself, when nothing else will let me."
That was last week. Since then, Aurelia had noticed a strange abundance of jewelry in her travel box that she didn't ever recall owning before. A big, thick brass armband that... appeared to have been made from a barrel band, was the first one that appeared. Next was a simple gold ring, inlaid with a small red gem; a plain but beautiful thing, for certain. A few days later, a very obviously stolen bejeweled anklet had found its way into her belongings – and a day after that, a gorgeous dragon-designed lapel pin that seemed to glitter and spark as if touched by magic.
But what stood out the most, however, came much later. It was so plain that it nearly went unnoticed amongst her various affectations in her travel box, but Aurelia found it late one evening as she was removing her earrings and pendants for the night to bed.
She plucked the trinket up with a single clawed finger, and examined it carefully. It was a simple, thin cord, clearly sturdy but rather plain, with a small metal clasp. What truly made her take pause, however, was the charm affixed to it – a single, empty metal casing, hardly the width of her thumbnail, had been knotted to hang from the cord as a small pendant.
Aurelia could feel warmth pooling beneath her scales as she held the bullet pendant as carefully as possible in her hands, and as she removed the rest of her jewelry for the night, that pendant remained on – she even fell asleep wearing it.
Aurelia knew right then and there, without a shadow of a doubt, that this was by far her most beloved piece in her jewelry collection.

Anyone else make jewelry pieces in batches? I feel more organized when I cut, file, sand, solder, pickle, oxidize etc. in groups/collections. I also love the excitement of then getting to hold and see 8 - 10 finished pieces together after the final polish.
Ps. Shoutout to @pepetools_usa for the best solder pick ever #ergolasttitaniumsolderpick

Describing Water Tribe clothes, furniture, etc, and feel like you just keep saying "fur" and "skin" over and over and over again? Wanna be more descriptive but you just don't know what kind of skins look and feel what kind of ways? Fear Not! I, an Actual Real Life Eskimo™ (King Island Inupiaq for those who don't know), have cultural knowledge that may help!
As ever, this is a collection of helpful tips to use as you please. I'm not in the business of telling anyone what to write or not write. I'd just like to share what I know and hope this helps anyone who might be annoyed by a lack of knowledge that can take some creative googling and persistant note-taking to figure out. Plus given the atlaverse's fun fantasy animals, you can switch it up and mix the following animals with each other or with completely different ones. Go bananas.
Please also note this is not a comprehensive list. That would make up an entire thesis and require scouring old, racist records from outsiders and talking to every living elder in the north.
As a general rule, furs tend to be thicker and warmer in the winter because thats how animals evolved to survive the intense cold weather. The younger the animal, the softer the fur tends to be, but this is not always desired and it's preferred in most cases to avoid killing animals too young to survive on their own and their mothers.
Beaver:
Coarse and glossy guard hairs
Thick, stiff skin
Waterproof
Not much range in color, mostly russet brown
Caribou:
Hollow hairs that insulate very well
Used to make clothes warm enough to "sleep outside in fifty below [-50°F]"
Traditional Inupiaq mattress was just two layers of caribou skin
Skin and fur colored in a pattern, could cut light and dark skin from the same caribou
Ermine:
Fine, soft, short fur
Good for lining and trim
Dark in the summer and white with a black tip at the end of the tail in the winter
Fox:
Silky guard hairs with fluffy undercoat
Makes a good ruff for a parka hood
Skin traditionally used for women's shorts
Fairly manageable skin, not too stiff or prone to tearing.
Many types of foxes available so lots of color variation, from white to almost black, to a coppery color typical of red foxes
Rabbit:
Soft, velvety fur
Very supple skin
Color depends on season when harvested
Comfortable, but can easily wear
Good for lining
Used for menstrual rags
Seal:
Bristly guard hairs, no soft undercoat
Keeps out wind and rain but not very warm
Yellowed silver with small dark spots
Has a musky smell many find pleasant
Wolf:
Thick, bushy fur
Very warm
Skin can be thin and prone to tearing
Strong smell
Yellowish tan to gray to white
Wolverine:
Long, well-oiled fur
Fluffy undercoat
Resists water and frost
Good for ruffs, cuffs, and hems
Dark brown with lighter patterning
Other materials
Antler: more plentiful than wood in parts of the arctic, used for handles, beads, buttons for pouches, etc
Baleen: historically referred to as "whalebone," used to make small sleds, boot soles, and baskets. Engravings in pieces of baleen show up white against the black background. This art is called scrimshaw and when on long pieces of baleen, my depict a sequence
Fish skin: not a fur, obviously, but lightweight, flexible, and waterproof. Sometimes processed into thread, which may have otherwise been sinew
Grass: may be woven into baskets or insoles for boots
Gut: cleaned out intestines sewn together with tiny stitches, see through, made into waterproof over layer parkas
Ivory: tusks harvested from walruses, carved into beads, pipes, jewelry, and more. Cribbage boards have been fairly popular uses of ivory since contact. Ivory is popularly used for scrimshaw as well as baleen, and lines engraved in ivory are inked black for visual contrast.
Qiviut: musk-ox fiber, very fine, can be processed and spun like wool but is seven times denser. Many articles knit and crocheted of qiviut are made with a lacey pattern to prevent the wearer from overheating. To my knowledge, it was only used this way in Alaska as opposed to using the skins of hunted musk-oxen after the animals were reintroduced long after going extinct.

Sorry if this is stupid, but I saw your post about the ox neckace, and what's the significance of the white Nike bag?
anon is referring to this post
so yb basically wore this bag a lot. it became quite dirty and people were telling him to please wash his bag but he continued to wear it until late 2020, then he changed it to a black one (“yb changed his bag” even trended) 😂
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the bag’s pretty significant within the fandom bc bxgs think the bag was a gift from xz since it showed up on 180619, a day after they ate out together (as mentioned in my previous post). it’s also known that xz’s fond of bags and has a big collection
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
yb’s answer in a past interview (for a jewelry brand endorsement) about giving bags as a gift further fuelled the theory too

Family, Duty, Honor Chapter 116
Tumblr media
Celia XXIV
Celia sat with the Tyrell women and Lady Margaery’s collection of women. Technically it should be Cersei who was there to strengthen her relationship with the Tyrells, but her good sister would have botched such a situation, not because Cersei could not be charming, but because she would actively choose not to be.
She disliked the Tyrell’s greatly and Celia knew that she feared the roses and their thorns that might entrap Joffrey.
Celia had noticed a slight change in her nephew and Lady Margaery at least seemed to have some better influences upon him, but such words could not be trusted. The boy was cruel and, for now, that cruelness had yet to appear before his betrothed.
“No, no,” Olenna Tyrell said, looking at the necklaces presented for Lady Margaery to wear at the wedding. “You’re a queen, not an ox.” Celia sipped her tea as Lady Olenna picked up one of the necklaces and looked at it fondly. “Your grandfather gave me a necklace just like this one for my fifty-first nameday.” At that, the woman tossed the necklace off the balcony.
Lady Margaery glanced at Celia, who was watching carefully. “The wedding is in a four tight, Grandmother. You can’t say no to everything
“Nonsense.” She turned to look at Celia, who said nothing.
If they hoped to have any of the Lannister jewels, they would be disappointed. If anything, they should be thankful she didn’t lend anything, Cersei would find it abhorrent to see Margaery Tyrell wear any of Lady Joanna’s jewels. She barely tolerated Celia wearing them, but at least she had the Lannister name now.
Lady Olenna turned her attention to the maids and ladies. “My little dears,” she said. “Go and speak to the jewelers of King's Landing. Tell them who you are, tell them who sent you. The one who brings me the best necklace will get to keep the next best.”
The woman giggled and rushed off to their duties.
The Tyrell women went to Celia and sat with her.
“The Margaery Tyrell who walks into the sept a fortnight from now will inspire a thousand songs. Now, how sad it will be if she’s wearing rubbish like that.”
“It is difficult, Lady Celia,” Margaery said. “I wish to impress King Joffrey and he is a Lannister as well as a king and I do ever wish to please him.”
“Joffrey cares little for jewelry,” Celia said plainly. “And I will warn you, we are in the middle of a war and the crown’s coffers are not as grand as they once were. Besides, I doubt the people will enjoy such extravagant jewelry that looks new. The people shall wonder why you must spend money on jewels rather than grain, even if this alliance is what shall give the crown and the people more food to put in their bellies.”
“Quite right, Lady Celia,” Lady Margaery said hesitantly.
“I fear I must retire to my rooms for a bit,” Lady Olenna said casually. “Margaery, perhaps you might escort the king’s aunt around the garden?”
“What a lovely idea, Grandmother. I think I shall.”

Mountain with a flower crown
As inspired by a post made by @bleachhaven I made a bleach OC. I am very proud of her. This post is her full bio as I laid the ground work of who she is and next post coming in sometime tomorrow or the day after will be a oneshot of this wonderful lady and her partner. Maybe even turn into something more.
The request and the head cannon it resulted were as followed:
Headcanon for Zaraki Kenpachi with a S/O that’s bigger than him (fluff and smut) 
wordcount: 5816 ~ 
it’s a lpt so i hope you’re patient with me. i like going in depth with my OC’s but also this time i tried to keep her simple and leave some space for the oneshot to come. also i already apologize for any possible errors that i might have missed. my eyes are stinging at the time of posting this.
again special thanks to @bleachhaven​ and also a thank you to @shadowsnlace who also inspired me with their headcanons and i will be using tid bits from their combined effort (they worked seporatly.) in the oneshot of the same name as in the headline. 
Tumblr media
Verse: bleach manga – bleach anime property of Tite Kubo
Motto: Chop your own wood, it will warm you twice.
 Name: Yasu (assertive child, ヤス) Yamase (Yama = mountain ,山 – se = back / spine / stature / ridge , 背 )
Reason or meaning of the name: she was a very large child since birth – and her last name was given because of her large stature that resembled a mountain in comparison to her peers and the fact that she carried the livelihood of an entire village on her back.
Nickname: 1. Ushi-oni (Ox/cow demon - 牛鬼)
                   2. Yama-0nna (mountain woman/ mountain lady)
Reason for nickname: 1. This nickname bears the weight of an insult and is what she is called by those who have crossed her path and met her as an enemy. They call her that to convey how beastly large and powerful she is and by the extent how unbothered by their attacks she was.
                                      2. This endearing nickname is given to her by the new children of her village. They call her that because she is very large, like a mountain, and also because she has the word mountain in her last name.
Birth date: Oct 1st
Her birth: she was born on the first day of autumn, around 2 A.M (the hour is known as the ox hour) it was a quiet and peaceful night with the owls hooting as the only noise outside.
Place of birth: a small secluded beachside village named “Momo Niwa” (peach, garden/field - 桃,庭) located in district 35 of east Rukongai
Species: soul
Occupation: formerly the hunter, farmer gardener, shepherd, fisherwoman, and the primary breadwinner of her village
                      Later on: Shinigami (soul reaper)
Age: 556 years old
How old does the OC appear: mid to late twenties (maybe late twenties to early thirties if you account for some significant facial features)
Weight: 363.4 lbs = 164.83 kg
Height: 8’8 = 264.16 cm
Body build: she is 363.4 lbs of pure muscle accumulated by eating a bear (or 3 entier boars down to the bone) a day and shaped with everyday hard labor since she was old enough to have a grip on a tool. She is bulky and strong, able to wrestle with a grown male bear easily, carry multiple three trunks on her back, and if needed pull a tree out of the ground. She is perhaps the single largest soul living in soul society.
The shape of her face: her face is not very feminine, she has a sharp jawline and strong chin. High cheekbones and gentle brows. Her nose while proportionate has been broken twice. The skin of her face while still soft has been wiped with direct sunlight for long periods of time. Her lips are thick and plump with a downward curve that makes her seem constantly annoyed. A small horizontal scar on her right cheek from where she was attacked by an angry wild cat as an inexperienced hunter. A scar on her upper left forehead near her hairline from when she fell off a three as a child (there is a very small bald spot there due to the scar tissue) and a thick but short diagonal scar under the right corner of her lip leaving it slightly misshapen.
Eye color: light gray – almost white if looked at from afar.
Eyesight: exceptional
Skin tone: as a child, she had fine pale skin, but as the years went by and time spent on the field or the beach her skin changed, and now it’s rough, leathery, and tanned – however, some parts of her body that have never been under the direct sunlight are still moonlight pale.
Distinguishing marks: the scars on her face. Her physique. Scaring around her feet and hands due to hard labor and occasional fights.
Predominant features: the sheer size and height of this woman.
Hair color: a dark reddish-brown with a few gray streaks amidst them. The gray parts make her seem older than she is.
Hair type: wavy, wild, and unkempt. She rarely has enough time or patience to properly care for them.
Hairstyle: the majority of her hair is usually either in a high ponytail or a bun to keep out of her face with a simple old blue ribbon that’s almost ragged by this point due to extensive use. The gray streaks are kept in small braids decorated with beads, feathers, and animal teeth or bones. (insisted by her village elders as hair decoration speaks of position in her village)
Voice: surprisingly has a soft and gentle voice that seems unusual for her throat. Make no mistake she is not quiet nor meek. She has loud booming laughter that is guaranteed to shake the house and her voice can easily be heard over others in a loud crowded room. But her speech pattern is gentle, polite, soft-spoken, and calming. She speaks with a reassuring sense of confidence that will make everyone listen and heed her words.
Overall attractiveness: she is not considered conventionally beautiful nor attractive; especially by feminine standards. She is simply too large, too tall, and too muscular to be the image of the traditionally graceful innocent flower petal that women are perceived as. Instead, she is considered rather handsome. In a manly, reliable kind of way that makes a woman to be attracted to her more than men. As most men don’t like courting girls that tower over them both figuratively and literally.
Physical disabilities: due to her height and weight, her knees and ankles are prone to joint pain and are in need of getting an ointment and herbal massage every once in a while. She may be very strong but the same muscles that made her so, also take away from her speed and she usually is more of a slow and steady kind of worker than the speedy type. She also used to have a difficulty in controlling her strength and had very loud and heavy steps and as a hunter that was a disadvantage. She has long since corrected her steps and is now as quiet as a wild cat while hunting and is quite good with her hands now but she is still rather slow.
The usual fashion of dress: as a child, she would wear normal clothing but as she continued to grow at an abnormal rate her clothes began to consist of multiple Yukatas and Kimonos sewn poorly together to make one dress that is big enough for her to wear comfortable and decently.
Favorite outfit: an utilitarian Yukata that is made of multiple dark-colored and green-colored fabrics that she uses for hunting and a winter coat made of only white rabbit skin.
Jewelry or accessories: No earrings, necklaces, or rings only hair decorations made of seashells, feathers, carved bones, and teeth.
Personality: Hardworking, steel true, and blade straight, Yasu is the primary breadwinner of her small village and responsible for the care of many elders, pregnant women, and many children along with many injured and otherwise incapacitated souls. She not only hunts, fishes works on fields, collects herbs, fixe tools, and homes, and guards the village against potential harm, but also she teaches everything she was taught and learned herself to the next generation ensuring the survival of her small village. She is primarily a noncombatant as her imposing sight alone wards off any potential threats and due to her size and strength she rarely needs to exert herself and to this day she has not been physically challenged (not since the first time she wrestled a bear as a child, but then she was mostly unprepared than weaker. Ps. She cried when she accidentally killed it, stopped crying when she realized how tasty the bear is.).
                      Unless necessary she rather not partake in violence, as a hunter she was thought that a kill must be clear and clean sparing the pray from unneeded misery and pain. If forced, however she is not a pushover, and while still does not partake in needless violence will effectively and immediately remove the assailant from her and her associates' vicinity by picking them up and throwing them away over her head.
                      She grew up in a village that predominantly had many fragile and weak people and thus not only she gained mastery over her strength but also was raised with the duty of the caretaker. She may have been one of the younger children of her village at the time, but since she was the largest and strongest many of the manual labor was placed on her shoulders and so she grew to have a habit of being everyone’s mother, to care for their well-being, eating habits, if their sleeping well, fixing their clothes if it’s untidy and even bathing them. (She was strong enough to safely carry the pregnant women to the bath, wash them safely and carry them back with no problem, or help those that had injured arms or legs in bathing)
                      She is, as formerly mentioned, very soft-spoken and quiet and never feels the need to yell or raise her voice as her sight alone demands unwavering attention. She is well respected as the breadwinner of an entire village as is dutiful to be deserving of that respect. She rises early morning before the birds – the elders' joke that she wakes up the sun every morning ) and goes to bed later than everyone on the nights that she doesn’t stand guard all night (again the elders' joke that she either stays up to make sure all the stars are accounted for or that she keeps guard of the moon as well.)
                      She knows there’s a time and a place for everything, a time to be respectful, a time to be playful, and a time to be forceful. She put her duty as the caretaker above all else.
                      She hates it when people think she’s older than she is because of her hair and battered face.
                     She holds on to a very old superstition that drinking boar blood mixed with milk makes children grow to be strong, completely ignoring the parts that the superstition is about “sons” and not daughters and that she is not a “CHILD” anymore.
                    She may act humbly, but secretly she loves how large she is. The only time she ever hated her height is when she entered Shino Academy and all the doorframes were too short for her and her dorm room was ridiculously small for her built. And for that, she prefers to sleep on the rooftop.
                    She genuinely enjoys hard labor and will always offer to carry items for others and if she senses that someone is getting tired she will carry them on her shoulder With delight.
                     While she is a well-spoken person, if she meets someone she is annoyed with or particularly have done something to warrant her contempt towards them, she starts calling them a very specific insult she never normally uses and only reserves for those she dislikes. “Puny/tiny man” for the men and “ladybug” or “little caterpillar” for the woman. (Ex: *smiling politely* be careful little ladybug/puny man, it would be a shame if I accidentally stepped on you. – She has only ever used this insult twice to this day) and on the other hand, she particularly likes someone, she will make them flower crowns and jewelry made of bones and teeth of animals if they are girls (or they like jewelry) and make hand-carved hunting knives and fur coats for the men.
                   She prefers to bathe in a cold lake as oppose to use warm water or use an Onsen.
                   When she finally partakes in combat, she is without a doubt both an unmovable object and an unstoppable force. she prefers to detain her opponents with Kido or Hakudo and if forced break their bones with the hilt or the dull side of her sword and avoid having to cut them down. (She says: a blade is for slaying and not for playing.) if due to specific circumstances; she were to aim for her opponent's death, they will die as quickly and painlessly as possible within a day – if the numbers are high – she makes it seem as if her opponents are mere animals that she needs to put out of misery as quickly as possible and not prolong their suffering. (on one specific occasion where she was disarmed, she held her opponent in a tight hug and crushed his entire spine and rib cage, killing him. – She was miserable and depressed for days afterward, and proceeded to dig an honorable grave for the man.)
Moral: she is dutiful and puts it above all else. When she mush kills, she will make it as fast and painless as possible. And only when it’s necessary. She rarely becomes physical with anyone. she believes she’s stronger than anyone she knows and doesn’t see the need to assert herself in such away.
Self-control: fairly high. She is a very disciplined individual both physically and mentally.
Motivation: the satisfaction of achievement through hard work. By the sweat of her brow and the strength of her mountain-like back.
Discouragement: realizing her size may prevent her from perfecting an action. Or realizing she may have to resort to violence.
Intelligence level: she may not be the most intelligent, but she is wise for her age and has great life experience. Her intuition and deduction skills have saved her from many sticky situations.
Confidence level: she is not arrogant or boastful but she is without a doubt very confident and assured of her capabilities. Of her strength, skills, and intuition. As well as the leadership skills that she acquired through the years.
Mood the OC is in most often: peaceful and relaxed yet focused on the task at hand.
Sense of humor: she has heard every tall joke and buff girl joke there is and is bored of hearing them but she will use at least 1 a day. Lesbian and butch jokes annoy her. She has heard every crude joke an individual can think of. Personally, associates with dark humor. Will hopelessly laugh at shitty puns.
The greatest joy in life: once in her life she had nothing to do so she sat by the beach and laid on the sand listening to the sound of the waves and allowed the children to braid her hair with flowers and colorful ribbons, and that is the greatest feeling she ever had.
Greatest fear – why: to grow old and die in the same village she was born into without ever leaving it. While she is grateful to the people who raised her she doesn’t want her life to have begun and ended in a secluded village by the beach without ever having seen much beyond the woods and the shore.
What would throw the OC’s life in turmoil: the times where she had to kill, especially if the death was A) unintentional due to her uncontrolled strength as a youth and B) done with inappropriate weaponry that caused a slow death and prolonged suffering.
Most at ease when: surrounded by children or people that are younger than her. When surrounded by loved ones. When hearing the sound of running water that reminds her of the shore she grew up in.
Enraged when: insulted, annoyed for too long regarding petty things, teased for her graying hair or size for too long, if someone decides to attack someone smaller and weaker
Trauma: this goes back to when she was a very young child. At the tender age of seven, when she was all but a doe-eyed child, she would eat as much as 3 times a grown man – by that time she was about as tall as a teen – so it’s understandable that on a specially cold winter the village became short on rations. Instead of telling the child to eat less, the villagers lessened their rations for the children and Yasu. For that reason that winter 5 of the older and weaker villagers passed away. Yasu was not told this until she was a good 200 years old, and when she realized this is the reason why her “Yuudai sofu” (grandfather Yuudai) passed away. she was traumatized to a point of losing her appetite and starving herself for the next two years that she grieved. then she returned, vowed she would repay her family every grain of rice a thousand fold and every drop of milk ten thousand. 
Prejudice: a general disdain for those who are physically capable but refuse to “cut their own wood” or “pull their weight”. She came from a village where it was an unspoken rule that the youth – and generally those who are capable – must look after those who cannot do so/ the old. and also a disdain for those who take the hard work of others for granted.
Favorite activity – hobby: when she doesn’t have anything particular to do she likes to sit down under a tree and either carve wood and bones into hunting knives or make flower crowns.
How does the OC feel about herself: she is comfortable in her own skin. Never really thinks about her appearance nor does she compare herself to others. She is content with who she is and the work she does.
One word to describe herself: reliable
One paragraph of how would she describe herself: “I think I’m reliable. I would like to think that I am. It’s my duty as the capable one to look after the others. I do enjoy working, I never seem to be able to sit down idly. Makes me fidgety. (Chuckles.) By the way, you seem tired! Need me to carry you? (Bends down) come now don’t be shy the weather is nice up here!” (Points at her shoulders making a tall joke)
Her best and worst personality trait is based on herself: “Oooooh, I’m not sure. I think my best trait is that, well, I’m reliable. And very sturdy. (Laughs.) my worst trait? I don’t know. I work too hard? Don’t take as many breaks as I should? I feel like I’m bragging.”
Her best and the worst physical trait is based on herself: “Hmmm. I never thought about that. I guess I do like that I’m tall and strong. I can take care of everyone like that. Reach the high shelves for them and pick them up when they're tired. I guess I don’t like my graying streaks? Makes people think I’m older than I actually am. “
How others perceive her: Villiger child said. ”Yama-Onna- san is the best! She picks us up and swings us around and around until we get dizzy and then she brings us fresh peaches every afternoon. She saved Aki-chan from a mean boar once. We love Yama-Onna- san sooo very much.”
                                             Villager woman: “Aah, yes. I do know Yasu- chan. She is wonderful. A dutiful, wonderful, kind person. I remember when I was with child and couldn’t walk. She would always pick me up so gently and take me to bathe and take very good care of me. Not to mention she'd always make special rabbit soup for me to make sure I was well fed. She fixed my room when it was broken too. Such a handy girl she is. If only she were a man, I think I wouldn't mind a husband like her.” (she laughs as a man’s grumble comes from inside her home.)
The opinion of other people in general: “seeing her for the first time she may look frightening and imposing but in truth, she has the gentle heart of a bunny. Give her a chance to show you who she is rather than what she looks like. She may look like an imposing beast; but she’s about as harmless as a sweet little chipmunk. “
Does she hide her (true) opinion on other people: not particularly.  Even when speaking the truth she will make sure to phrase it politely and gently.
The person she hates the most: lazy people in general – or that least lazy people who are ungrateful
Best friends: Hinamori Momo, Kotetsu Isane, Ise Nanao
Persons she avoids: Kurotsuchi Mayuri, Soi Feng
Person, she feels awkward with: Hitsugaya Toshiro (so small), Hirako Shinji (that weird smile), Soi Feng (so loud for someone so small)
The person she openly or secretly admires: Zaraki Kenpachi (he is up to my chest, very tall), Ise Nanao, Kuchiki Rukia
How she thinks others perceive her: Ushi-oni, imposing and scary (which makes her a bit sad)
One thing she would change about herself: the gray hair, maybe make herself a little shorter – just a little – enough that her head wouldn’t hit the door frames all the time.
Her main logic of the world: Chop your own wood, it will warm you twice.
                                                   You can either dream or work to achieve that                                                           dream.
                                                  You won't always be motivated, you must learn                                                       to be disciplined.
                                                    By the sweat of your brow and the strength of your back, and the blood in your veins. Anything can be achieved.
                                                      When there’s a will there’s a way.
Depressed or sad when: she does something she deems cruel. doesn’t have anything to do. Her friend is in the middle of something she can’t help them with. When away from Kenpachi for too long. Sometimes she misses her mothers, father figures and her village.  
Priorities: duty first. And not just work duty. Her duty to herself. Her duty to her romantic partner/ spouse. Her duty to her friend. Her duty to nature, her duty to her conscious. Her duty to her mothers.
Life philosophy: hard work pays off. Always. Not always in the ways, we want or we think we want. But always pays off in some way.
Soft spot – is it obvious or not: she has a giant soft spot for children and people who are physically very small even by normal standards. (namely, Hinamori Momo. Hitsugaya Toshiro, Kuchiki Rukia) – it couldn’t be any more obvious – she makes them flower crowns every day without fail)
Greatest strength: other than her bulging biceps? Her great leadership skills and hard-working nature.
Vulnerability or weakness: deep down she does feel weird and vulnerable about her size, after all, she is still a girl, and about the time she was 150 or so she was deeply sensitive when a guy would call her Ushi-Oni. Just because she was taller than everyone else. Although now she knows logically she shouldn't feel bad about herself and her appearance there are still times she feels embarrassed when she knows she can’t wear a beautiful Kimono because A) they don’t have it in her size and B) she realizes it wouldn’t be good on her as it would on someone like Ise Nanao or Kuchiki Rukia
Biggest regret: accidentally killing that bear, not realizing her eating habits were putting a strain on the village sooner
Minor regret: not learning feminine skills (sewing, tea etiquette, etc.)
Biggest accomplishment: becoming a Shinigami
Other accomplishments: mastering the sword, archery, trapping, fishing, tracking, and finding her way based on stars – making a full garden of peaches from only 3 peaches she bought – building a small fishing boat (albeit a flimsy one) – raising the number of the village livestock exponentially.
Past failures: she failed many times in almost everything she started. It’s not important how many times she failed in what, what’s important is that she is now more skilled than the average souls and Shinigami.
Embarrassing moments: her first 3 weeks at Shino Academy they didn't have a uniform her size so until they make one her size she was heavily underdressed. (the pants were only to her knees and the upper half was more like a tight short-sleeved vest. She preferred to wear her usual clothes but wasn’t allowed to. The moment Captain Hitsugaya who had come to the Academy on work-related matters saw her state of indecency he threw a fit and demanded appropriate clothing for a lady. – Yasu wanted to die at that moment.)
Darkest secret: she secretly, very deep down, is annoyed that no one else is half as strong as she is. And wishes there was someone she could find that she didn’t have to hold back for.) (*wink wink* foreshadowing *wink wink*)
Skills: life skills: 1. wielding a club
                            2. archery
                            3. trapping
                            4. pathfinding using stars
                            5. fishing
                            6. trapping and hunting and skinning animals
                            7. wood carving, bone carving, and tool building in general
                            8. cooking
                            9. farming, gardening
 Incompetence: 1. Sewing
                                  2. tea brewing
                                  3. anything to do with speed or agility
                                  4. patience in anything other than hunting
                                  5. strategizing in anything other than hunting
 Strength – talent – powers: Shinigami based: 1. professional Zanjutsu
                                                                            2. advanced levels of Kido
                                                                            3. unrivaled Hakudo
                                                                            4. passable Hoho
                                                                              Habits: 1. she stubbornly sticks to the superstition of drinking mill mixed with boar blood is good for health and strength. (even though the superstition says it’s good for little boys to grow strong and healthy and she is neither a boy nor a child.)
            2. She prefers to take cold bathes even in midwinter.
           3. Sleeping outside – unless provided with a big enough room.
           4. Braiding her hair and making flower crowns when she is bored or nervous.
 The organization involved: Gotei 13, Squad 10. (as the third seat officer)
Income: standard seated officer Shinigami income + overtime
Job satisfaction: doing all the paperwork as fast as possible (even those that aren’t hers… LOOKING AT YOU MATSUMOTO RANGIKU)
Health: as is expected of someone her size she is very healthy seldom gets sick. Her knees and ankles need a herbal and ointment massage now and then due to the pressure of caring for her weight.
 Childhood life: on a particularly warm summer evening a woman by the name of “Hatsume” comes across this small village begging for a small room so she can have her child in peace. The villagers of course all this and the woman spends the next two months peacefully waiting for her child. The villagers assumed she must have multiple sons as her belly was greatly swollen but by the time the child was born, it was revealed that “Hatsume” was right and she only had one child. One little girl.
                          Actually no, she had one big girl. A girl so big, that she broke her mother’s hips as she was coming out resulting in the death of her mother. Originally the midwife –“ Obba-chan Harumi” – deemed it a bad omen and wanted to drown the child but was convinced otherwise by the rest of the women. Thus the newborn was given to “Riko” another woman who had recently lost her weak child due to heatwave. She named the child “Yasu “ and accepted her as her own child and fed her until she no longer could.
                         Apparently “Yasu” was a very hungry child and drank her mother dry within a few months, and so she was given to another woman named “Natsuko” who also raised her as her own alongside her son named “Tadashi”.  And so, until Yasu-chan was old enough to eat solid food she was cared for by the collective effort of 10 women. (Riko-san, Natsuko-san, Haruko-san, Kaede-san, Usagiko-san, Amaya- san, Yuria-san, Ikuko-san, Minako-san, Sakue-san) and as a child, she grew to eat 3 times a grown man and as an adult, she eats 9 times the average man as a moderate ratio (she can eat more)
Best memories: 1. sitting by the ocean with her 10 mothers and their other children making flower crowns and listening to the sound of waves.
                            2. Learning how to carve knives and sitting next to her        “Yuudai-gi” and making hunting knives.
Worst memories: 1. sitting at the grave of “Yuudai-gi” now knowing why he died
                                2. Barring her mother “Kaede-san” after she fell ill
Alignment: bounces between lawful chaotic and chaotic lawful – sometimes lawful neutral
Short-term goal: accomplish daily duties to the best of her abilities.
Long term goal: live her life to the fullest and learn to relax and have fun without worrying
The most defining moment in her life: deciding she’s prepared the kids of her village enough and leaving them to become a Shinigami.
Type of childhood: certainly eventful, but all in all nurturing
First memory: her first and oldest childhood memory is being surrounded by many women cooing at her (her motherers) and one in particular saying something about giving her boar blood with milk.
Most important childhood memory: her first successful hunt, an old limping stag.
Childhood hero: Yuudai-gi
Education: thought by the rest of the villagers. Mostly focused on practical information – learned how to write and read when she had nothing better to do by her mothers.
Family: mothers: Riko-san, Natsuko-san, Haruko-san, Kaede-san, Usagiko-san, Amaya- san, Yuria-san, Ikuko-san, Minako-san, Sakue-san
             Father figure: Yuudai-gi, Kaoru-gi, Manzo-san, Ikemoto-san, Gihei-gi, Sotaro-san
              Siblings: Tadashi-kun, Ekiken-kun, Toyozo-kun, kenji-kun, Hachigoro-kun, shigeru-kun, Akeno-chan, Euki-chan ,Mizuki-chan, Mami-chan, Romi-chan, Shizue-chan, Chieko-chan, Asaji-chan, Ochiyo- chan
                  +the rest of the village.
Relationship with parents: she was well-loved by all of her mothers.  
Relationship with siblings: there were arguments as children and there were teasings as children but the older they got the better their relationship became and with her size she became everyone's protector and the helping hand of her mothers.
Spouse – lover – the person of interest: Zaraki Kenpachi, the second Kenpachi and the 11th captain of squad 11 of Gotei 13.
Children: none
Relationship with children: very well.
Other important family members: (her father may or may not have been a member of a branch family sworn to the Kuchiki clan but Hatsume never confirmed anything and died before revealing anything about the father of the child.) later on Yasu says she has no interest of ever finding her father since she already has 6 father figures and an entire village as family.
Favorites
-color: light ocean blue
-music: the sound of waves – the sound of branches moving in the wind – the sound of owls Hooting at night.
-food: Bear, boar, shrimps
-literature: she doesn't read much. The Academy textbooks are the closest she got to literature. That being said the book of Seireite Laws is her somewhat favorite.
-form of entertainment: making flower crowns, carving knives, going to the woods to watch the wildlife as they are, watch Kenpachi fight, watch captain Hitsugaya yell at Rangiku.
-expression: 1. You won't always be motivated, you must learn to be      disciplined.
                        2. Chop your own wood, it will warm you twice.
-most prized possession: 1. her ragged old ribbon she uses to tie her hair up.
                                             2. Her hair decorations.
                                             3. The old hunting knife made of bear bone that once belonged to her Yuudai-gi
-weapon: old hunting knife that belonged to Yuudai-gi,
                     Her Zanpakuto (it’s her first and only appropriate and professionally made weapon)
-pastime: watching Kenpachi fight as she makes flower crowns or carves knives.
Poetry describing – quote describing: “she may not have been the innocent cherry blossom, nor the alluring lotus. She may not have been the moon goddess nor the lady sun. she may not have been the enchanting vixen nor the oblivious doe. She may not have been gentle river nor the cherishing wind. She may not have been a princess nor a noble jewel.
Instead, she was unconventionally alluring. She was the reliable oak and the sturdy pine tree. She is the north star guiding travelers home and the early morning twilight, the very beginning of a gentle, warm touch waking you up. She is the dangerously alluring owl and the coyote that mates for life. She is the iron shield you carry to war and the rock you lean on. She’s the hard-working peasant girl in the rice field and The silver O-Choko cup, the only thing the beggar refuses to sell.”

I have a dream – Abba

Got everyone watchin' us, so, baby, let's keep it secret
A little bit scandalous, but, baby, don't let them see it
A little less conversation and a little more "touch my body"
'Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you, oh yeah”
Are you ready – the Disturbed
“That's enough already now
You don't want to take it
All your reservations have been taken away
They've been taken away
So you think you're ready now
For the revolution
Yeah, they can't control you
Once you've broken away
You've got to get them out of your mind

And if I mess up everything someday
I would hide my head in shame
Cause you are the one thing that I got right”

quick references for my hpma ocs - ollie, badir, ellie and now, damon! i’ll include a short write-up about them below \(^▽^)/
orion james potter (ollie)
ollie’s a tall and snarky kid, but he’s mostly all bark and no bite. he has a strong inferiority complex which he masks with arrogance, but his close friends are able to see through his facade easily. unknown to ollie, he has a variation of a horcrux because of a childhood accident, which he had his magic limited and was obliviated after. in hogwarts, he thinks he’s able to get away with his antics because his father is harry potter. ollie’s faithful pet snake, ladon, is always by his side. cloaked under a strong enchantment spell, ladon looks like an ordinary python, when in reality his real form is a basilisk that’s 50 feet long. ollie was born a parselmouth, so he is able to communicate well with ladon. he needs to let ladon roam in the forbidden forest in its basilisk form once a month under his supervision or else the enchantment spell holding ladon will break. ollie has also trained to be an animagus at a young age, because he always wanted to able to escape from stressful situations when needed - his is a white crow animagus. he really loves collecting silver jewelry (earrings in particular) and has an extensive collection. he also plays seeker for the slytherin quidditch team and he’s the best in his year. his best subjects are defense against the dark arts and potions. his sister kaida looks after him a lot to make sure he doesn’t get into as much trouble as he normally does!
badir seif
badir is a compassionate and quiet one, and he is incredibly family orientated. he greatly admires his dad, who is his role model. like his dad, he dons his signature blue scarf that’s magical, and is able many things in it, like a handy storage. he’s also a baby ox animagus, although he doesn’t turn into his animagus form very often. he inherits the seif family sword and takes lessons from his dad on how to use it properly. he has also inherited his seer ability from his mom, although it’s not very strong. if he focuses on a particular person, he’s able to see a vague vision of them in the future. he’s not a fan of doing that however, he prefers letting nature decide his fate for him. badir is also over-protective of his family, and can get pretty overwhelming sometimes. he sticks close to his family and his boyfriend, siraj. he has a pet crup, najm, who follows him around hogwarts and is well loved by many! he doesn’t like ollie very much, he finds him a bad influence and senses something off with ollie, although he’s not sure what in particular yet. badir plays beater for the ravenclaw quidditch team and takes great pleasure in flinging bludgers specifically at ollie during slytherin/ravenclaw matches. his kind and helpful personality has gotten him quite the fanclub during year 3. badir’s best subjects are charms and transfiguration.
ellie lovegood (el)
ellie is a shy but good-natured person. after witnessing the death of her childhood friend, she realised she could see his soul and became determined to study soul magic and find a way to bring her friend from the dead. she had her friend’s soul reshaped to be a rose, which with her always. her hobby gradually became collecting lost souls and turning them into something memorable and beautiful - mostly flowers. she has a book that she’s currently working on about soul magic since it’s a relatively new field in the wizarding world. the people around ellie think she’s eccentric and poke fun at her, but her sister soleil makes sure they keep a good distance away. she is a skilled legilimens but doesn’t like invading people’s minds unless she absolutely has to for important information. ellie has a pet dormouse called caleb, and he serves as a little helper for her soul flower projects. she can see negative soul energy surrounding ollie and she’s still figuring out how to approach him about it. ellie’s best subjects are herbology and care of magical creatures.
damon castro
the twin brother of coryo castro, the unlucky childhood victim of ollie’s horcrux incident. his family was forced to change their name and live under a new identity as per the ministry’s request. after the incident left the castro family completely broken, damon was left to fend for himself; his parents weren’t much help growing up. shortly after the incident, the castros moved to a different area, unknown to them, a werewolf roamed the woods nearby. damon was playing alone with no supervision as his mother was still emotionally distressed and needed his father’s constant care when the werewolf pounced. his yelling alerted his father who fended the werewolf off, but the damage had been done. damon’s left arm has a nasty scar as a result of the bite, and he takes great care to hide it. damon blames all of his and his family’s misgivings onto ollie, and is greatly resentful of the ministry and the potter family. he promised to avenge his brother, and he’s determined to destroy anyone who stands in his way. he has a half cat-kneazle named missy, who reports to him on suspicious activity surrounding ollie. a great manipulator and charmer, he starts to befriend those close to ollie in order to get whatever extra information he can about the person who ruined his life. his natural hair and eye color is gray and yellow, but he has half of it coloravia’d to look like his brother; his brother spirit lives inside of him.

So I couldn't decide whether I wanted to hold all of these Oxventure necklaces and post them at once, or post them one at a time, or whatever, but I figure I'll lose motivation if I try to wait, so I am posting them a few at a time!
Corazon
Tumblr media
This is where the idea started; I went to the bead shop for ideas and saw this stuff immediately. I've been using varied construction methods, but these beads spoke for themselves. I decided to go for kind of a tiki pirate thing, rather than rogue, but what you can't see is that the individual brown beads are heart shaped!
Prudence
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I remade this idea twice? I was trying to do a purple and black woven situation, but when I picked up my work, it curled up into these tentacly twists. I strung them just as falls and it didn't do it for me, so I went back to weaving. It's a beast to photograph, but I think it ended up pretty neat!
Merilwen
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I went in a different direction with Merilwen; I'd used this illusion technique for a blood spray choker and really liked it. The silver pieces are individual beads that I put together with rings at the top and bottom, then all the falls go through the holes at the bottom.
Tumblr media
Also I couldn't resist a lil moonbeam.
I've also done Edvard and Zillah, so I'll post them later. I think by far Lilith and Egbert are going to take the longest, so we'll see when I have more to post.

Stuff I Never Learned In Uni and Now I’m Gonna Sue:
When he was young, Plato used to wear a ridiculous earring and everybody made fun of him behind his back. Also his original name was Aristocles: ‘Plato’ (= Broady) is a nickname his trainer gave him because he was so stupidly buff.
Aristotle was fond of flashy clothes and flashier rings and spent ages doing his hair.
Socrates used to turn a stick into a pretend horse to amuse his children.
Alcibiades and his friends once got high on stolen Pythia’s herbs and risked the death penalty.
Plutarch literally said “Sex is nice, but have you tried reading Aristobulos?” (his books are now lost, btw, and that goes on my list ‘things to be furious and sad about’)
Empedocles, a vegetarian who won the Olympics, made an ox out of frankincense and myrrh and sacrificed it as a tribute to the gods instead of a real animal. Pythagoras also sacrificed an ox-shaped cake to the gods when he discovered that hypotenuse thing.
Sophist Anchimolus happily survived on figs and water, but people avoided him at the baths because he just stank so much.
Philoxenus and Gnathon the Sicilian used to blow their noses over the best dishes of a buffet, so that other guests wouldn’t eat them first.
The philosopher Crates was called ‘the Door-Opener’ because he had this habit of randomly walk into people’s houses and offer them unwanted and unsolicited advice.
Alcibiades once sent Socrates a gigantic cake for sex-related reasons, and Socrates’ wife was so mad she threw it on the floor and trampled it.
(As a reminder, Alcibiades tried everything he knew to get into Socrates’ pants but the guy just. never. shut. up. and Alcibiades would usually fell into a stupor and sleep.)
Many statues had little umbrellas on their heads so birds wouldn’t poop on them.
A guy once invited King Philip (Alexander’s dad) for dinner, but forgot kings usually travel with dozens of people. When Philip realized his host was embarrassed because there wasn’t enough food for everyone, he discreetly told his companions to leave room for cake. People ate very little in expectation of a glorious dessert, and so there was enough for everyone.
“Dreaming about cakes without cheese is a good omen, but cheesecakes signify deceit and trickery.” (Artemidorus, who totally wasn’t pulling things out of his own ass)
Proving nothing ever really changes and time is an illusion, Plutarch complained that the guides at Delphi would bore everyone to death by reading every single inscription while their audience baked in the sun.
“If a cucumber is bitter, just throw it away...Don’t go and complain Why do such things exist in this world?” (Marcus Aurelius, unproblematic fave; also filed under ‘does it spark joy?’)
Wine jars had a piece of wood inside it, so the mice who fell in could climb back out (a Most Civilised custom imo).
“Those drunk on wine fall on their faces; those drunk on beer fall on their backs.” (this from Aristotle, I dare hope from personal experience)
Empedocles once attended a party where the host told his guests they could either drink or be drenched in wine. The next day, he had the man executed. “This was the beginning of his career in politics”.
Alexander put collars on a number of deer to determine how long they lived. When they were caught, more than a hundred years later, they had not aged a day. (*stanning intensifies*)
A good method to stop children from crying: fasten a sponge on a jar of honey and give it to them. Probably also doubles as a good method for making their teeth fall out.
Several people tried to pass laws against children’s tantrums.
A flying pig once devastated the Ionic city of Clazomenae.
Greek divers had snorkels so they could stay longer underwater.
“The students nod to each other about charioteers, or mime-actors, or horses, or dancers, or about some gladiatorial fight; some just stand there like a block of stone, others pick their noses...Anything is preferable to paying attention to their teacher.” (Libanius, #bless; he also complained that students would rather handle snakes than touch their textbooks)
Aristotle made fun of Herodotus for saying a black man’s semen must also be black.
When Gelon, the future tyrant of Syracuse, was a boy, a wolf came into his classroom and stole his writing tablet. Gelon ran after him, and as soon as he’d stepped outside the school there was an earthquake: all the other children and their teacher died.
Archimedes once built a big-ass ship for king Hieron of Syracuse. It had a gymnasium, gardens, a library, a seawater pond full of fish and mosaics detailing the entire Iliad.
There was a rumor Sophocles died when he tried to recite his Antigone and couldn’t stop for breath because he never used commas. (#KarmaIsABitch)
In Sparta, all the girls and young men who were unmarried were locked together in a dark room. The men then grabbed a girl, and whoever they grabbed, they had to marry. Lysander, the famous Spartan general, was fined for abandoning the girl he caught and scheming to marry a prettier one.
Crocodile dung was considered an essential ingredient in face masks, but dishonest sellers would often present starling dung as crocodile’s.
There were beauty contests in several cities, both for men and for women. Some cities also held modesty contests for women.
The only valid reasons for being late at the Olmypics were illness, shipwreck and capture by pirates.
Pythagoras was shocked by how women lend each other clothes and jewelry without paperwork or a witness to the transaction.
Demosthenes refused to pay the prostitute Lais (a man) half a million dollars to sleep with him, declaring “I don’t buy regret at such a high price”. 
Bald men made money by allowing people to break pots over their heads for fun.
In Southern Italy there was a breed of sheep whose wool was so valuable, shepherds put leather jackets on them so it wouldn’t be ruined by bushes and thorns.
The Gauls used to throw letters on funeral pyres so the dead could read them in their next life.
In Sparta, every year boys were whipped for an entire day on the altar of Artemis. Some died, but the ones enduring it most gracefully received the highest honors.
Plato once gave a public reading of his treatise On the Soul and Aristotle was the only person who stayed until the end.
The statues of unpopular politicians were thrown in the sea or turned into chamber pots.
Apsethus the Libyan trained some parrots to say ‘Apsethus is a god’, and the Libyans, impressed by the miracle, started to worship him. Then a Greek came along and trained the parrots to say ‘Apsethus put me in a cage and forced me to say Apsethus is a god’ so when the Libyans heard that, they seized Apsethus and burned him to death.
An idiot named Marcus insisted in running a race in full armour. He was so slow, at midnight the stadium authorities locked everything up because they mistook him for one of the statues. When they opened up again in the morning, they found he’d finished his first lap.
Athens was plagued with gangs of rich kids running around and stealing the offerings left for the gods. One of them was called The Hard Dicks.
Some many men died in the Peloponnesian War the city of Athens made polygamy legal. Euripides thus had two wives, but wasn’t happy with either of them.
A character in one of Euripides’ plays argued that wealth matters more than morality and the audience got so mad Euripides had to come on stage and beg them to wait for the end of the play - promising the guy would be revealed as the villain and meet a dreadful end.
When Rhodopis, a beautiful prostitute, was taking a bath, an eagle stole her shoe. It carried it all the way to Memphis and dropped it on the lap of Pharaoh Psammetichus, who immediately ordered the whole country to be searched for the owner of such a beautiful and shapely shoe. When Rhodopis was found, he married her.
In Elysium, the fortunate dead enjoy checkers, horse riding, gymnastics and playing the lyre.

[BJYX] Thoughts on ox head necklace
Here’s a few of the ideas I had on this necklace and whether it holds credibility as to yizhan’s relationship:
But first, a tiny note on the psychology behind one wearing jewelry,
Jewelry is created and designed for the human body.
The optimal position to view jewelry is while it is worn on another person’s body.
 So it’s agreed that most of the time the purpose of jewelry is to provide a certain visual. 
Tumblr media
Ok next,
Jewelry is most valued by artists and patrons for its ability to bridge two people. Wearing jewelry provides the moment, the object and the location for the activation of jewelry’s meaning.
Some collectors strengthen their relationships to artists by continuing to support and collect their jewelry.
Another interesting point here. Jewelry acts as a bridge between two people, whether it’s something two people share or an act of love given from one person to another. Also, some collectors strengthen their relationships to artists through jewelry.
We all know the ox-head necklace came from Gucci and only two physical such stories in Beijing were selling them so it wouldn’t be too hard for GG to call up someone at Gucci and request it. It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary since he’s already sponsored by them and wears their stuff all the time for events.
Tumblr media
Next, out of the both of them who comes across as someone who believes in tokens linked to higher powers or zodiacs and such?
XZ reportedly keeps his phone background set as the God of Wealth
Tumblr media
He also wore a red thread bracelet made by his mother for a year because it was the year of his zodiac
Tumblr media
Seems like he’s more the type to gift someone, something based on their zodiac and the belief that it will bring them luck. And so YB wears it everywhere, especially during his motorcycle races and other events where he would want to bring along something personal.
Finally, as someone on Twitter pointed out to me, YB has stopped wearing his signature earrings and other jewelry, probably to distance himself from his ‘idol’ image from back when. Now if he does wear necklaces they’re usually only two that he frequently puts on:
One given to him by Wang Han, his senior TTXS host and beloved gege, which he always wears while hosting a TTXS episode:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If anyone wants I might have an interesting take on where YB wears his TTXS ring compared to then and now, I could make a post
And then there’s the ox-head necklace, which he wears despite it being a casual day or an eventful one:
Tumblr media
YB wouldn’t wear something so small with such constancy unless it meant something to him. Just as the feather necklace signifies his bond with his senior-most TTXS gege, the ox-head has to be linked to someone just as, if not more, important in his life to him. It’s been confirmed on an episode that WH gave YB the feather necklace, but the actual origin of the ox-head has never been confirmed, despite the fact that it clearly means a lot to YB.
All I’m implying here is maybe this is just XZ’s way of showing love and YB’s way of showing it off to the world. Besides, he’s reprimanded Youku for thinking his shoe post was for them but won’t say a peep about us hypothesizing about this necklace harharhar.
Tumblr media
Here’s a few interesting reads and watches for more on this:
BJYX Ox-head necklace Analysis (Youtube)
YB infamously scratching his neck thanks to the necklace and XZ’s super boyfriend reaction to it (Youtube)
The Ox-head Necklace Compilation (Youtube)
And because I never end a persuasive essay without the opposing view, here’s a VERY neutral view on the origin of this necklace.
