#How Long Does It Take To Grow Grapes From Cuttings
Text
[ BUSINESS DEAL ] DILUC RAGNVINDR.
“has anyone ever told you how beautiful your eyes are?”
diluc rolls his eyes as you giggle at the slurred comment, watching you mumble a quiet thank you as you refill the glass of the drunk stranger before you. he can’t help but huff as he takes a sip from his own glass, fighting the urge to knock what must be the millionth drink from the man’s hand.
it’s valentine’s day.
meaning, diluc gets to watch dozens of single men drink away their miseries and hit on you while he sits in his stool at the far corner of cat’s tail, swirling his glass of grape juice with a frown on his face. maybe he should be running his own tavern instead of watching you, but with every sly comment you get, he gets less concerned with angel’s share and more concerned with keeping an eye on you.
and you’re sweet—almost too sweet for your own good, laughing each comment off and maybe even throwing a flirty one back here and there. it’s never anything too serious, but he can’t read you, can’t tell if you like the attention or if you’re simply too kind to fully reject the advances of a guy after he’s had one too many drinks.
still, whether you enjoy the attention or not, diluc can’t help but feel a pang of…jealousy? is that what it is? he’s not too sure—but he’s long come to terms that there’s something a bit more than simple fondness in his heart for you, but he’s almost certain you don’t feel the same.
and he doesn’t blame you—you’re gentle and kind with something fierce about you underneath it all. you’re perfect and you should look for such, not settle for the distant and troubled man that he is.
“more grape juice?” you pop up before him and break his train of though before he even registers you’ve moved. he’s been too focused on glaring holes into the side of the man’s head from just a few seconds ago.
“i’ve had enough,” he mumbles, “but thank you.”
“you know, master diluc,” you grin, eyes crinkling in that ever so precious way they always do.
“i’ve already told you, you don’t have to keep referring to me as—”
“if i didn’t know any better, i’d say you’re trying to ruin business here.”
he blinks, and you giggle, and somewhere deep in his mind, he knows that you’re just messing with him. still, a more panicked part of him wonders if you think lowly of him enough to really think that.
“now, why would i do that?” he raises a brow, and for a fleeting second, at the sound of your soft chuckle, his heart does a painful squeeze and his palms grow sweaty.
“i guess you could call us business rivals,” you hum.
“i wouldn’t say so,” he shrugs, “although i wouldn’t mind having you tend to my own tavern instead.”
“oh, really? then—”
and then you’re interrupted, and there’s a figure slumping onto the stool beside diluc and leaning over the counter, pulling your attention off of him and onto the stranger that so rudely intruded the conversation he’s been waiting to have with you all night.
“and what’s a pretty face like you doing in a place like this?” the stranger purrs, and diluc’s grip on his glass gets tighter, the frown on his lips tugging into a deep scowl.
“oh,” you say shyly, looking down with a nervous laugh, “what can i get you, sir?”
“how much for a date?” the man grins.
before you can answer, diluc cuts in before he can really even think.
“nothing you could afford.” truthfully, he’s as shocked as you, but he ignores the confused look you give him in favor of glaring at the man that finally turns to him, watching as the stranger’s eyes widen slightly with recognition as soon as they fall onto the long, red locks.
there’s a slight bit of pride underneath all the irritation—which is unlike him. diluc doesn’t care for fancy titles and recognition, he doesn’t care of the rumors and gossip and he doesn’t care about what his name around town might be. but for some odd reason, he finds there’s a bit of pride when the man scurries away dejected—like there’s no doubt that between him and someone like diluc ragnvindr, the choice is clear.
he wonders if you feel that way, if in a tavern full of men, he’d be the one you’d pick. there’s an ache in his heart at the thought, a desperation he’s never felt before to be picked—to be wanted.
and maybe, even with everything he has, he has nothing at all if you’re not his too.
“see?” you ask, “you’ve definitely got it out for us, haven’t you? scaring off my customers.”
your voice pulls him back to reality, and now he’s blushing as he realizes he has to explain his actions to you as you stare at him expectantly. he almost wants to promptly exit, maybe never even leave the winery and show his face near here again so he doesn’t have to explain that yes, diluc ragnvindr, the most eligible bachelor of mondstadt, is jealous.
“i-it’s not like that,” he tries to explain, “i just…”
“just wanted make our prices seem too high to our customers?” you raise a brow.
there’s amusement in your eyes—and he thinks for a moment that you must be enjoying watching him squirm, that you must enjoy making him trip over his words and scramble to find an appropriate explanation.
“no!” he says quickly, “i’m sure you know just as well as i do that men in taverns are hardly respectable ones, so i just—”
“and do tell, master diluc,” you come closer, coming face to face with your nose almost brushing against his. he can see the flecks in your eyes and feel your lingering warmth from this close, making his heart stop completely and his hand clutch his glass so tight, he wonders how it’s not shattered yet. “who is a respectable man?”
“well—”
“perhaps sir kaeya is more suitable—”
“certainly not,” he scowls, missing the way you bite back a grin, “the knights are hardly trustworthy either.”
“so then who might that leave,” you wonder out loud, “ah, i see. then that leaves you, doesn’t it?”
diluc thinks you’re trying to kill him. he thinks you must be trying to get rid of him and hurt his business instead, because why else would you make his poor heart palpitate like this? there’s a satisfied smirk on your face, a smug and all too mischievous one that makes him wish he’d have downed a few glasses of wine instead of juice.
“and if it does?” to his credit, his voice is still smooth and confident, the only remaining thread of dignity he has left for the night.
“well, with the wine industry at your fingertips, you must be able to afford most things rather easily.”
and perhaps, all this time, you really have felt the same—he thinks it’s certainly a possibility when your forehead meets his and your noses brush.
“i suppose so,” he hums, and before he can change his mind, he takes a chance. “well then, name your price for a date.”
he watches the way your eyes soften ever so slightly up close, and with a bright grin, you turn your head, pecking his cheek swiftly before pulling away.
“it’s on the house,” you say cheekily, “consider us business partners.”
this is all bc bub sent me a diluc tik tok that made me just about pass out

Jack, Malleus: Beasts, us Both
Alright, TWST... you friggin' troll 😭 You got me good with those Jack frames... No wolf inspo reveal, I see how it is-- 😂
Because of the angle we're staring at the image from... that macaron Jack is holding looks like a massive GMO green grape… AM I JUST SEEING GRAPES EVERYWHERE BECAUSE OF R*LLO... This would mark the first Disney100 art with some notable changes (how he’s holding the macaron and the angle he’s bending at), most likely to make it look better for a card layout.
A Tale as Old as Time.
A young lion prince and his hornbill attendant were captured in a photo frame. With finger-like feathers, the bird had plucked a strand of fur from the large cat. He lacked amusement, beak poised in a manner that suggested a light telling-off. The cub, for his part, looked upset at the lecture.
That’s right, lions don’t grow their manes out until they’re older.
Jack sometimes forgot that—with his dorm leader prowling around, the most prominent image he had of a lion was that of Leona. Strong, cunning, and self-assured. Nothing like the prince in the painting.
“How cute,” a low voice drawled. “To think that Kingscholar too was once this small and helpless… Fufufu.”
Jack’s eyes cut to the tall, dark man next to him. With long limbs and regal horns protruding from his head, Malleus Draconia resembled a gazelle.
“It’s hard to imagine Leona-senpai like that,” Jack awkwardly confessed. “I met his nephew once, but that only took me more out of it. He was… energetic and bright.”
“Implying that Kingscholar is lacking in energy and a cheerful disposition?” Malleus smirked. “Ah, yes. Much change occurs between childhood and adulthood, some of it attributed to social influences. That child had best be cautious. Perhaps Kingscholar’s attitude will rub off on him, smothering that sunshine.”
“Leona-senpai has his good points too!” Jack blurted out. He didn’t catch himself in time—the words just came, a reverberating bark in the museum.
“Oh? You’re rather quick to defend him.”
The wolf beastman gasped and reeled himself back in. “Y-You don’t see it because you’re not in Savanaclaw, but I can tell… Leona-senpai cares about his students a lot. He’s looking out for us in his own way.”
“Such as when he attempted to have me trampled?” Malleus suggested, his tone quiet yet challenging. “I do so fondly remember that.”
“Urk!!” Jack’s ears flattened. “He does take it too far sometimes. I don’t agree with everything he does. The idea of doing everything you can to protect others, though… that’s something I can understand.”
"It is?”
The first year nodded firmly. “There are stories about wolves working together to chase off invaders who wandered into their snowy territory. Once, a wolf family even took in an orphaned kid. I have my own younger siblings to look after, too.”
“It appears as though you and your ancestors feel a strong sense of duty to your packs,” Malleus noted. Something akin to amusement danced in his eyes. It quickly flickered out, giving way to a deep melancholy. “Family… Hmm. I cannot say I can relate. I have no siblings to speak of. There is my grandmother, but she is my only living relative."
There was a shift—a small, imperceptible change in Jack's stoic face.
"... Sorry to hear that."
"Think nothing of it." Malleus waved a dismissive hand. "The circumstances are as they are. We cannot rewind the threads of fate, only weave new ones.
"Still, it is strange. I have not had the chance to meet my mother nor my father. They were already gone long before my hatching. I should feel no attachment to such strangers. Even so, I feel as though something is missing without them."
He gave a dark chuckle, curling fingers over his heart. "Perhaps there is a part of me that longs for that kind of a family, too."
Jack frowned. His chest throbbed with a dull pain.
“That's..."
Sad.
No brothers, no sisters. No parents, not even aunts or uncles or cousins. Just one big, empty castle, and the creature caged inside of it.
Pacing past ruined wings, furniture strewn about as if a mad beast had run through it in a frenzy. The space filled with loneliness, a hollow feeling that couldn't be fended off.
He shuffled his feet. Resolve slowly solidified. Jack reached for his voice.
"... I don't think you need to worry, Malleus-senpai. You still have people who care about you. Family isn’t all in the blood." Jack bashfully rubbed at the back of his neck, his eyes averted. "It's in the bonds too."
He gestured to the painting before them. "The lion prince lost his dad, the previous king. In grief, he ran away from home--but he still had friends that guided him when he was lost and scared. A warthog, a meerkat, a baboon, a hornbill, the lionesses in his pride. They all came together to show the prince he was loved and needed. Because of that, he was able to come home with his head held high."
Jack clenched a hand into a fist, offering a stiff smile. "Family's something that everyone has, one way or another. They're the ones who always have your back, blood or not.”
Malleus’s face momentarily lit up with surprise.
“My, I didn’t expect to hear such a motivational speech from you. I hear from Sebek that you’re quite standoffish.”
“D-Don’t get me wrong!!” he sputtered, face heating. “On any given day, I’d tackle things on my own. But doing that all the time is pointless.”
“Which is why you choose to follow Kingscholar’s leadership?” Malleus asked teasingly. “You seem to admire him a great deal and acknowledge him as the leader of your pack here at Night Raven College.”
“N-No!!” Jack snapped. “Th-There are just some things I’m not strong enough to do by myself, times when I have to team up with others for a common goal!! Until the day I have the strength to act completely on my own…!”
Malleus laughed softly, his lips lifting into a mysterious curve. "Be at ease, Howl. You needn’t be so defensive. I see your point with crystal clarity.”
“You… You do?”
“That is correct.” The dragon prince’s eyes creased. “You, who seeks strength, shall surely find it—and with that strength, you will not be daunted from protecting what is most precious to you, family and friends alike. You’ve helped me to realize the same. We are both the same kind of beast, fufu.”
Jack took one look at Malleus’s ominous smile and shuddered. It could have decimated the stars, wiping out all the light in the night sky in one fell swoop.
“I’m not so sure that’s a good thing…”
He glanced back at the painting of the lion prince and the hornbill advisor. The distress on the cub’s face suddenly resonated with him.
Jack groaned.
It looks like I still have a lot to learn.

Hey y’all! Meet the birdfell siblings!!
Roost (birdfell sans):
He’s a bird monster standing at 5’4 with sandy tan wings resembling an owls! He’s 51 years old and has only one working eye, the other socket has a large crack going through and is unable to open any more.
Roost is loyal, affectionate, caring, flirtatious, teasing, and dumb as a rock. He is the perfect definition of a himbo lol. However he isn’t energetic (most of the time) and instead of golden retriever energy, he’s described as having more lazy Rottweiler energy. Roost is a possessive fellow and is quick to claim what’s “his” whether that’s friends or things, or even dates lol. He has so much confidence it’s mistaken for fearlessness.
For work, he’s a florist! Roost is surprisingly enthusiastic about flowers, the language behind them, and making beautiful arrangements. He has a good eye (singular lol) for matching colors and has a green thumb when it comes to growing his babies. His florist shop is in the land his sister owns.
His hobbies: flowers of course, he also does some gardening, long flights, axe throwing, sparring and wrestling, bird hunting, wine tasting, throwing really large rocks off cliffs to see them roll down, falconry, hooking up/flirting, babysitting (don’t worry he’s actually pretty good with kids)
Loved items: his sister/all the vineyard workers, kids, Mediterranean food, wines and cheeses, flowers of course, specially morning glories, the color green, ducks, football and the World Cup
Special ability: rocky skin: when he feels threatened his bones and feathers harden making a rough cutting surface and protecting him from attacks. It only lasts a few seconds
Magic weapon: he has two hand sized axes! They’re fairly simple but they get the job done.
Harpy (birdfell papyrus):
She’s an exceptionally tall bird monster standing at 6’9 feet. She has large dark golden brown wings resembling an eagles and a thin scar on her cheekbone. She’s a feminine presenting monster with a husky woman’s voice.
Harpy is sharp, serious, and very to the point. She’s an organized lady and very ambitious. She’s extremely protective and loyal to her friends and workers and is passionate about her loves in life. She takes no sh*t in life and is very brave in the face of any trial. Harpy is more of an honest straightforward person and is rarely sneaky about what she does.
For work, she owns a large vineyard in the mountains as well as a big chunk of land where she’s the landlord to some other farmers and businesses. Her wine is considered one of the finest of ebotts and her grapes are fought over by other brewers. She takes her job very seriously and expects a lot out of her employees, but with lots of work comes high reward from her.
Her hobbies: wine tasting, javelin throwing, shoe shopping (she fkn loves heels), collecting travel brochures, floral arrangements, weightlifting, long flights, horror and mystery novels, collecting antique weapons, falconry
Loved items: her brother and her employees, Mediterranean food, potted basil, wines and cheeses, the color purple, heels, antique weaponry, murals, antique books, her pet golden eagle Gaia.
Special ability: look at me. When she needs people’s attention, she can give off this aura that will naturally stop people in their place to look at her. She doesn’t need to utter a single sound
Magic weapon: a gorgeous ornate javelin with vines all up the staff
Extra details:
The birdtale AU was very warlike with small mixed tribes of humans and monsters constantly fighting over the little pieces of farmable land left. It created a large sense of loyalty between families but also made an au of very territorial monsters (and humans who came in the crash with them).
Roost and harpy’s parents were killed in one turf war when harpy was a toddler. Roost raised his little sister himself and according to her did a decent job. However most people think she’s the older sibling with how much she bosses him around lol
The birdfell au is interesting as they actually had five “royals” but none who had taken the oath (the ritual had been lost ages ago). They were unable to decide on two representatives without fighting, and so the birdtale royals stepped and took the birdfell monsters as their own. It was supposed to be temporary, but the fells ended up loving their fair and attentive new rulers.
Birdfell monsters are very scattered around ebott so every community has a little pocket of them somewhere.
Side characters:
Phoenix: birdfell grillby, he has a set of gorgeous flaming wings and a massive wingspan. Phoenix is ebotts top model and adores his fans just a little too much. He is also an old friend of rooks and was harpy’s main babysitter when rook was out
Lewis: a frail 89 year old middle eastern looking man and the grandfather of rook and harpy. (Their mother had been a half breed). Harper is enjoying his retirement on harpy’s vineyard as an “official wine taster” lol. He has a good relationship with his grandkids and is not so secretly glad that there are no more babies in the family lol

prompt: “shooting star” w/ diluc <3
this is part of my good luck event, the masterlist can be found here!
a/n: feeling cheesy and in love with harbingers as i write for diluc woops
There are certain nights when the Darknight Hero will take a break from roaming the streets of Mondstadt. He decides that the Knights of Favonius, while inefficient, can handle the night. After all, the threat of Stormterror and the Fatui has long since passed. Between bartending at the Angel’s Share, handling business back at the winery, and his acts as a vigilante, he’s never really had time to take a step back. There’s always something that needs to be done.
“One night won’t hurt.” You hum, back resting against the plush cushions of the couch as you sit across from him, a half-played chessboard between the two of you. He’s winning, of course, carefully planned out moves slowly knocking away at your pieces.
“Anything could happen.” He doesn’t look up at you, red eyes focused on the board. Gloved fingers move swiftly, his rook taking your knight. A smug look crosses his features as he sits back, waiting for your next move.
You roll your eyes, you’d given up on winning the game long ago, but he didn’t need to know that. “I’m sure I can convince Jean to increase patrol for one night.” Diluc doesn’t say anything to that, a sign of his silent agreement.
And that’s how you snag a moment of his time, tugging him to the tip of Starsnatch Cliff that overlooks the ocean. You sit together on a blanket, sharing a bottle of grape juice for two and food in the picnic basket that Adelinde had prepared just hours earlier. She had ushered the two of you out of the manor with teasing words, repeatedly reminding the wine owner that his home would still be there in the short time that the two of you would be gone. Diluc hadn’t even bothered to put up a fight, eager to escape from his hectic life to spend the rest of the night with you. He lets you tug on his hand to walk faster, pointing out the cecilia flowers growing in patches the closer and closer you get to the top, until you stand still, your fingers interlaced with his as you take in the view. The neverending ocean spreads out before you, dark glittering blue stretching towards the horizon as the moon’s reflection stares back up at you. The stars wink at you from above, the few patches of clouds already drifting away to allow you to gaze.
Diluc lets you do the talking, filling the silence with mindless chatter as you ask him about the wine industry and the trips that he’ll be taking to neighboring nations for business. He doesn’t mind spilling the gossip he’s heard from abroad, recalling every story he’s heard as he begins to talk more and more about the people he’s met outside of Mondstadt.
“One day you’ll have to take me to— oh! Look!” Your words are cut off as silver streaks across the sky. Immediately you’re reaching to grasp Diluc’s hand, pulling yourself closer to him as you point up at the sky, a shooting star flying past. He looks over at you, your eyes bright and swimming with light as your lips curl in awe.
“Make a wish!” You say giddily and Diluc smiles gently. How long has it been since he’s indulged in a childish fantasy like this? A small voice in the back of his mind whispers that he hasn’t done that since before his father’s death. He swallows thickly at the thought and clears his throat, stealing another glance over at you, only to find that your eyes are closed. There’s a smile on your face, one that hides secrets, the ones that you tease him about because they’re the same secrets that you keep to yourself whenever you have something planned for him. It’s the same smile that you reserve for when he comes home late at night, tired from work, only to find that you’re half awake, waiting for him on the couch curled up by the fire. The same smile that you give him when you whisper how much you love him. Before you can open your eyes, Diluc does the same, allowing himself to indulge for just a moment, offering a wish to the star, to the Archons, to anyone who will listen.
If he can spend more time like this, he’ll do whatever it takes. Because the happiness and comfort that you’ve brought him since stumbling into his life, is something he hopes to hold onto forever.
reblogs and comments are greatly appreciated! <3

Hi I like your hair. I have pretty long hair and am thinking of buzzing it sort of like yours because with my various disabilities taking care of my hair... does not consistently happen. I'm worried I won't be able to pull it off anywhere near as well as you. How often do you have to re-buzz it? Is it a lot easier to do the colors than with longer hair? Is it easy to wash? Sorry if this is weird you can just delete it.
Thank you so much!
Buzzing it was definitely the best hair idea I’ve ever had, it’s been a lot of lengths over my life. A part of it for me absolutely is that I haaaaaate Doing My Hair, and having it be something that takes rubbing a towel over after showering at most to style is so nice.
I do think most people can probably pull it off, though it’s gonna be a big shock for a couple of days at first. And you will want a hat if it gets cold where you are (but summer heat is a million times more bearable).
In terms of maintenance, I cut it and dye it about every three weeks, but it grows really fast. I’d probably be able to go a month or five weeks if I went with a #3 guard but the texture of #2 is so good. I get A to do the very back a lot of the time because I have a goofy cowlick and it’s easier that way. The dyeing has the advantage of it being basically always on fresh hair so I don’t really worry about damage and it’s easier to not miss spots, but it does need doing more regularly (when it’s a couple centimetres, a centimetre of roots is a lot more visible than it would be on longer hair). The whole process takes like two hours at absolute most, most of which is sitting and waiting.
Day to day is a million times easier than any other way my hair has been. Definitely uses a lot less everything (this applies to bleach and dye), and there’s no detangling or anything to worry about. It’s easier to wash as well, I’d say. I keep my dye from fading by getting a dye in a shade similar but more saturated (pink gets maroon, lilac gets like a grape, etc), and mix some in with my conditioner. So maintenance takes like…not really any time or thought.
If you think you wanna try it, I definitely think you should go for it. It’s a really comfortable, freeing feeling for me to just have the fuzz. (And it’s a very very nice sensation to run my hands over, or especially have someone else do). The nice thing with dyeing it is that because it’s so short, it’s pretty easy to switch colours or give yourself a break from dyeing it if you’re not feeling up to it for a bit.

BEGINNERS GUIDE TO GROWING GRAPES IN OKLAHOMA
If you want to start a vineyard or produce your own wines, you should learn about growing grapes in Oklahoma. As is the case when cultivating any crop, there is much to consider to ensure the success of your grape-growing endeavor. Here are a few steps that can help when starting a vineyard.
6 Essential Steps for Growing Grapes in Oklahoma
Step 1: Select a Planting Site
If you frequently go on wine tours or travel Oklahoma vineyards, you may have noticed that these places share some similarities regarding their vineyard setup. That is because selecting the right location is essential to ensure the long-term success of a vineyard. Before you start planting anything in your planned vineyard, consider the:
Climate. What is the average temperature in each season? How often does it rain?
Soil. How quickly does the soil drain? Can this affect moisture around the root zone?
Slope. Is there a slope in the area? How will this impact the sunlight and drainage?
Step 2: Select a Grape Variety
Many grape varieties thrive in Oklahoma vineyards near me, so there is sure to be a perfect option for your vineyard. If you want to produce red wine, consider growing:
Cabernet Sauvignon.
Chambourcin.
Merlot.
Sangiovese.
Shiraz/Syrah.
Tempranillo.
Zinfandel.
If your vineyard will primarily produce grapes for white wines, you may want to grow:
Chardonnay.
Muscat Blanc.
Riesling.
Seyval Blanc.
Traminette.
Vignoles.
In addition to these varieties, a range of hybrid grapes grow well in Oklahoma’s climate.
Step 3: Preparing for Planting
Once you know what grapes to plant and where to put them, it is time to begin preparing your vineyard. This step may begin around a year before you start planting, as you must prepare the area by:
Cultivating the soil.
Killing weeds and reducing pests.
Making changes based on soil tests.
Marking your rows.
This process takes a lot of work, but that effort will pay off.
Step 4: Planting the Grapes
After the area is prepared, you can begin planting your grapes at the end of winter or early spring (depending on the grape variety and the area’s climate). Once you have planted the bare-rooted plants and have tied them to a training stake, you should keep them watered, weeded, and free from pests and diseases.
Depending on the grape variety, your intended use of the grapes, and the area’s slope, you may need to construct a trellis for a support system. However, this can often wait until the summer or fall, once the grapevines have grown larger. In addition to making your harvest easier, a trellis can help keep the vines away from small animals.
Step 5: Pruning and Maintenance
Once you start noticing growth on your vines, it can be tempting to let them grow freely until it is time to harvest. However, you will still need to wait to enjoy the rewards of your efforts; grapes can only grow on vines that are at least one year old. Once you reach that point, you will focus on regular maintenance.
Pruning will ensure that new growth develops. The vines will be dormant from December through March, making it the perfect time to prune them. Prime your plants for new growth by:
Cutting each vine back to one or two canes.
Trimming each cane until it has between two and eight buds.
Removing all but the two strongest shoots when growth resumes.
Occasionally pruning back more when needed.
At this point, only the main trunks and year-old growth should remain. Do not hesitate at this step; most places you see when visiting “Oklahoma vineyards near me” cut off more of the vines than they leave.
Of course, when growing grapes in Oklahoma, maintenance goes beyond pruning. Make sure that your plants are well-watered and free from weeds. Watch out for disease and pests, and have a plan in place for what to do if damage occurs. Also, consider fertilizing your grapevines.
Step 6: Harvest and Post-Harvest
The grapes will begin to ripen in July; this period is known as “Veraison.” At this step, keep focusing on maintenance, but start preparing for the harvest season. This may occur in late summer or early fall, depending on your grape variety. After your grapes have been harvested, the vines will go dormant, allowing you to repeat the process once it is time to prune your plants again.

Life is a lot
Life is full of difficulties and challenges, but we also have to believe that we can overcome these struggles to create a wonderful life journey.
There is a kind of grapes with different sizes and uneven sweetness and sourness. Children often adopt the following two ways to eat: one is to eat the small and sour ones first, and then eat the big and sweet ones; the other is to eat the big ones first , sweet, then eat small, sour ones.
I believe that generally speaking, most people will prefer children who choose the first way of eating. Because this way of eating can make people get tempered from it, experience the taste of adversity from it, and thus thrive and grow.
Since difficulties or setbacks are unavoidable in real life, how to overcome adversity and survive in adversity has become an important issue that modern people must face up to.
(1) Improve the positive energy of yourself and your heart, and get rid of disappointment:
Disappointment is normal in the face of setbacks or failures. All of us have been disappointed to some extent, the only difference is that some people get rid of disappointment quickly, while others stay in it for a long time. People can take the opportunity to reflect on their mistakes when they are in disappointment, but if they are always in disappointment, it can be said that it will not help things at all. Therefore, if we want to cultivate and improve the ability to get rid of disappointment, we must enhance our tolerance for setbacks; the so-called "failure is the mother of success", if we realize that setbacks are often the stepping stones to victory, and thus regard setbacks as It is a common thing in life, so that you can face setbacks and get rid of the shadow of disappointment.
（2) Adjust the angle of observing things and change your thoughts:
The same thing is often different because of the different hearts of the people who watch it. Therefore, if you maintain an optimistic mood and look at everything in this world, the result will be completely different. Therefore, sometimes we have to learn to think about things from another angle. Of course, there are many specific methods, but there is only one principle; don’t stick to a fixed way of thinking, especially it needs to be pointed out that acquiring creative thinking does not happen overnight , It needs to be practiced and cultivated consciously at ordinary times, and it can be persevered. When it is needed, creativity will be played out inadvertently to help us. There are positives and negatives in everything. We should not look like beans, and we should not be attached to any one side, so that we can see places that others cannot see, because there are too many valuable things in the world, waiting for us to dig.
（3) Find your own way out on the road that no one has traveled:
When encountering adversity, in addition to changing your mind, you can also change your way. If this road cannot be followed or will not work, you must know how to turn. The so-called "if the mountain does not turn, the water will turn; That is to say, since the road does not turn around, only people turn around; "If you are poor, you will change; if you change, you will be successful; if you are successful, you will be smooth; if you are smooth, you will succeed." This is the wisdom of the ancients. As long as you know how to change things and think from another angle, you will see countless peach blossoms in the poor village. Because the angle of looking at the problem has changed, the direction of thinking has also changed accordingly. Perhaps because of this, we can realize that the world is still infinitely broad, and the tangled problem of "continuous cutting and chaos" will suddenly become clear and solved.

If you ever want to do a "Top 10 home gardening tomato cultivars" segment, I'm here for it. (My folks mostly plant Early Girls, but they have a ridiculously short growing season up there. I grow Sweet 100s, because they taste good enough and I gave up on growing anything other than cherries due to bastard squirrels who like to take exactly one bite out of larger tomatoes.)
OH
IT IS NOW TIME TO INFO DUMP
CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED
Ok so the actual thing with tomatoes is there are- checks google- about 10,000 tomato cultivars out there and every single one of them is different, so you should tailor your tomato breeds to what you actually want to do with them. 10K is a lot a breeds to break down, but fortunately, there are ways to Do That:
1. Determinate vs. Indeterminate
Determinate tomatoes grow to a genetically predetermined size and start fruiting. Pros: Tends to have a short time between planting and fruiting, don’t get bigger than a certain size if you only have so much space. Cons: Once they’re done fruiting, that’s it. you really only get the one crop out of them. Also tend to have sad, watered-down flavor.
Indeterminate tomatoes grow as big as the space will let them, and start fruting when they get around to it. Pros: Maximum Plant for minimum investment, which can be like 10x as big as a determinate plant. Will KEEP fruiting until it gets too cold, so if you can get it in a pot you can move inside you could potentially still be harvesting tomatoes after thanksgiving like my MIL was this year. If you live somewhere warm like SoCal or AZ, you could keep it alive all year. Cons: MUCH longer time between planting and fruiting. Indeterminate tomates Get there when they get there. Also may be more prone to disease and pests than the more-modified determinate plants.
There are determinate and indeterminate tomatoes in all 5 of the Greater Tomato Archetypes. Speaking of:
2. The 5 Tomato Archetypes
I’m so good at segues!
So tomatoes come in 5 basic types, each which is generally better for something culinary than the others. You CAN substitute different types of tomato but your food generally doesn’t come out as good.
1. Cherry: Cherry tomatoes produce fruits that are about the size of cherries. Some people put Grape and Saladette tomatoes in here but they are WRONG, both of those belong in the “Round/All-Purpose” group because Cherry tomatoes specifically have thinner skins, more soluable pectin, and more dissolved glutemates, which means they cook VERY differently. Cherry tomatoes also produce a shitload of fruits at a time and might be some of the heaviest producers. Tend to be more heat-tolerant.
Good For: Fresh tomato sauces (i.e. takes less than 20 minutes to make), salads, snacking on directly off the vine like you are a small tarsier discovering a hidden bounty of fruit.
Top reccomendations are:
-Indigo Cherry or Dwarf Black Krim if you can find it. I always reccomend dark-pigmented tomatoes as I find they have better flavor, pest resistence and UV tolerance. Taste fruity but not over-sweet and Very Tomato-y.
-Sweet 100/Super-Sweet 100/Sweet Millions: All varietals of the same mass-producing Cherry Tomato. Makes absolute buckets of Tomatoes, sweeter and more fruity than the Indigo cherry, good disease resistence and long growing season.
2. Paste: Paste tomatoes are thin-skinned, meaty and soft tomatoes that... well, they make good tomato paste, the basis for all long-cooking tomato sauces and recipies. They tend to be kind of Oblong and sometimes grow in fun extras like lil tomato “dicks” or weird cthulian shapes, but this doesn’t effect the flavor or nutrition There’s a shitload of great varietals in this category, I’ve yet to hear of a Bad Paste Tomato, just Less Excellent ones.
Good For: Long-cooking Tomato-based dishes like: Bolognese, chili, ketchup, BBQ etc. Also can and freeze well.
Top Reccomendations are:
-Amish Paste: MEATY, and well-suited for growing in a variety of conditions. Paste is smooth and velvety. Good for Chili, BBQ and Bolognese.
-Opalka tomato: Russian Tomato, little more on the acidic side, grows well in places prone to surprise late frosts. Paste isn’t as smooth but very thick. makes great ketchup.
-San Marzano: THE tomato for making Marinara Sauce (also does good bolognese). Sweeter and lighter, with a slightly runnier paste that clings well to pasta. cans and freezes excellently, does well in places with HOT summers.
3. Beef: Beef tomatoes are BIG motherfuckers that kind of take a long time to grow but are very rewarding. Beef tomatoes are firm, have a very solid meat and are best eaten raw, typically sliced onto a sandwich or seared under a broiler for a NZ Mousetrap. Not only are the fruits big but so are the Plants, so they take a long time to reach maturity and the fruit takes FOREVER to ripen but if you like a sandwich, they can’t be beat. Also they look hella impressive on instagram. They also tend to be more prone to Blossom End Rot (which is just a calcium deficiency- just make sure to fertilize with some eggshells and don’t over-water them), and despite the size, don’t tolerate cold well.
Good for: Slicing on sandwiches, eating raw like you’re biting into the still-beating heart of your nemesis and enjoying that sweet, sweet revenge, searing quickly under a broiler or putting on a Kabob.
Top Reccomendations Are:
-Brandywine: Hefty, great fresh tomato flavor, and PINK.
-Big Zac: Goddamn Massive Tomato. A Real Heckin’ Chonker. meatier flavor and lots of firm flesh with few seeds.
-Beefmaster: One problem with Beef tomatoes is that a lot of them are heirloom varietals that aren’t as widely available. Of the ones that are easy to get your hands on, Beefmaster is the best, but it lacks the flavor punch of Brandywine or Big Zac, but it’s not a BAD tomato.
4. Round/Early/All-Purpose: The Workhorse of Tomatoes, the Round Tomato does it all- sauces, salsa, sandwiches, salads, and snacks. But it doesn’t do them quite as well as the other, more specialized tomatoes. Also, some of these tomatoes have been Over-Worked and bred to fruit early and transport well, at the expense of it’s Flavor. I’M TALKING ABOUT YOU, EARLY GIRL AND BETTER BOY, YOU FLAVORLESS TENNIS BALLS, YOU INSULTS TO THE MIGHTY HOUSE OF NIGHTSHADES. Love yourself, don’t get Early Girl or Better Boy. If your season is too short for anything but the earliest of tomatoes, it may be better to grow Something Else than put all that effort in for Disappointment.
That said, there are many types of Round/All-Purpose tomatoes that haven’t been overbred into corporate blandness, and I can reccomend them in good concisence if you’re not totally sure what you want to do with your tomatoes:
Good For: Indecisive people, people just learning how to grow plants, using one plant for a variety of purposes, people who are not yet prepared to enter the world of Tomato Opinions.
Top reccomendations are:
-If you really must have an early-fruiting tomato, the Wayahead is an heirloom that people swear comes in early with good size, flavor and firm structure. I have not personally tied this varietal but people I trust like it.
-Black Krim: GOD-TIER TOMATO. It’s got it all- flavor, high yields, firm structure, pest and disease resistence, fucking purple stripes. Cans Well, Freezes well, seeds well and breeds true. Fuck yes. Other tomatoes fucking WISH they had what this Hot Bitch has.
-Invincible is a damn-hard-to-kill tomato that isn’t very large but fruits reliably and preforms well all around. it also ripens 3 fruits at a time so you’re not constantly overburdened with Tomato. Probably my top pick for beginners that need an Emotional Support Crop.
5. Fun: This is not, strictly speaking, a traditional type of tomato, but I feel like it’s an important category for people who want to do something different or really enjoy all Tomatoes have to offer.
Good For: Trying new things, taunting the garden gods with my hubris, showing off at the garden FB group, discovering new flavors of plant.
Top Reccomendations:
-Mr. Stripey: it has a goofy name, it’s yellow-and-pink striped, and it smells and tastes almost exactly like pineapple, but it doesn’t try to digest you back. I love it.
-Japanese Truffle: Dark Brown tomato that looks like someone tried to make ferro rochers at home and bungled it, and has a LONG maturation time, BUT it’s got a chocolately flavor and even at maturity has green insides which give it this. Lightness? it’s hard to describe but it’s a fascinating flavor. The plant also is more branched and elegant than most tomatoes. Very different, very cool.
-I have not personally tried Cherokee Purple but I have heard good things about it. We’ll see how it does in the garden this year.
-Tomatillos and Ground Cherries: Not actually tomatoes, but closely related. Neat herbaceous sort of flavor, like thyme but to the left. Also comes in a fun Organic wrapping paper.
-Ketchup ‘n’ Fries: a Sweet 100 tomato top grafted onto Kennebec Potato rootstock, so it grows both tomato AND potato! Grafting was invented prbably about a week after the concept of agriculture was, and consists of taking two or more closely related plants and taping a cutting of oone into a hole in the other until the plants heal together. Like that one gorilla-dude from Umbrella academy, but without the angst. You can get them pre-made or attempt to make them at home if you’re feeling adventurous and are OK with potentially killing a bunch of starts while you learn.
Good Luck and Happy Gardening!

Demigod MC Series: Dionysus
Hey y’all, sorry for going dark! I’m alright, almost completely recovered in fact! I just got so sleepy while my body was fighting stuff off and couldn’t really work up the energy to write... Still going to be spotty for a short time, but I’m glad to have gotten this done. See ya soon!
Demigod MC Series: Intro, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hades, Dionysus
Lucifer
Well, this mortal stumbled out of the portal covered in glitter, body paint, and carrying a red solo cup… which they proceeded to stare at like, "'ell sshhit… Thiz iz sum stron s'uff…"
First impressions were not on their side here.
He spent a depressingly long amount of time more or less assuming that the MC was a drunken f-up and spent the first few months trying to make them more… presentable.
But like… How do you stop someone from acting like a drunk fool when they can turn any drink they touch alcoholic???
For months they would show up to meetings buzzed or stumbling, all smiles and all giggles but HORRIBLY unprofessional, and he just couldn't stand it!
But then he found out their little secret…
Assassination threats befall the exchange students all the time. Most of them are dealt with quickly but some (through skill or dumb luck) manage to slip through...
He had been walking with the MC through their new vineyard in the House's courtyard, yet again trying to lecture them about their drunken behavior, when suddenly the two were ambushed!
Ten or so heavily armored demons dropped down from the sky to attack them! Lucifer was so preoccupied that he got cornered by three of them and it took him a hot minute to destroy them.
When he looked back at the mortal (who had been fighting a 1-on-7) he was certain they'd have been kidnapped or worse…
But he saw that they had already cut down two attackers with their weapon with ease. The other five were rolling in the dirt, babbling about inexplicable terrors and imaginary pain as their minds succumbed to madness…
Meanwhile, the MC just stood in the middle of it all with the icy glare of someone who’s just revealed how stone-cold sober they've always been under the surface...
When they turned back to him, they put their usual ditzy smile back on over the tormented wails of the demons around them...
MC: Whoopsie… Gotta little mad there. 🙂
He uh… took a big ol'step off their back after that. Surprisingly, they're more pleasant (and less dangerous) "drunk" than they are sober…
Mammon
Oh HELL yeah!! Lucifer actually gave him a mortal that knows how to party!!
Admittedly, they looked like utter trash when they first met, like, "Hey, I've been at this party since DAWN" trash, but they gave him one good look and pulled together a surprisingly hot smile.
MC: "-ey yer cute… Ya like strip poker?"
Spoken like someone else who also makes shit decisions… They were going to get along just fine!
And they did. The MC to him was that one friend that's always down for anything. Just anything. Whenever. Wherever.
He wants to try sneaking into Lucifer's room to steal stuff? Sure, what time?
He wants to take a mattress and see if he can ride it down the grand staircase of the palace? Alright, we bringin' pillows too?
He needs to set up another scheme that's gotta involve live rats and box of tiny hats and monocles?? That's oddly specific but count them in!!
Sometimes he honestly can't tell if they're laid back or just crave chaos... but it works out fine for him either way so who cares? 🤷♀️
And if you think normal Mammon is a pain in the ass for Lucifer? Check out drunk Mammon. All the same urges but literally none of the (marginal) competence!!
At one point, the eldest ended up stringing both Mammon and the MC from the ceiling after they both barged into his office looking for Goldie… while he was still in there… watching them wander around aimlessly calling out for a piece of plastic like it was a missing puppy…
They end up together on the ceiling a lot come to think of it, but hey, at least now he has some company. 😌
Leviathan
Thinks they're the most normal normie to have ever normed on this normie planet!!!
No, seriously. They're a billion times worse than Asmo!! All they want to do is go to parties and drink all the time! What kind of use is he to someone like that??
… That being said they ARE pretty fun to be around… And their sake is WAY better than anything he could get off Akuzon!!
They also like karaoke too! So at least he has someone else to go with (even if they get so drunk they can’t remember any lyrics and just belt barely coherent discount Mariah Carey vocals behind him...)
Of course, the real fun between these two is everybody else getting to watch a couple of the Devildom's sloppiest drunks attempt to communicate with each other…
Levi: MMM-*hic*-MCCC…!!! *throws himself at them from across the bar*
MC: What Leviachan??? 😨 Did the chair kick you off?!
Levi: Nooo! *pokes their cheek* I wanna-I wanna tell you sometin'...! *tries pulling them closer*
MC: Whaa? Secrets?? *leans in eagerly*
Levi: Mammon used all ma money on’a pyramid scheme a thou-zand years ago… AND HE STILL WON'T PAY ME BAAA-!!! 😭😭 *starts shaking them violently*
MC: *getting flung around like a limp noodle* Waaaat?! Nooo!!! I'm so sowwy!! 😢
Mammon: *watching it all go down right next to him* 😑 Ya guys need some water… I'm cuttin' ya off, got it?
MC: 😱 Shut yer whore mouth, criminal!! *starts pelting him with pretzel bites*
Levi: 😤 Yah!! *joins in*
Good thing he's a shut-in, because the hangovers he gets after those escapades are unreal…
Satan
A little concerned for their liver, honestly… How much damage have they already done to the poor thing...?
But at the same time, he'll be damned if they don't make some utterly fantastic wine!
Alcokinesis wasn't a power he would have pegged a demigod to have but apparently the great art of making drinks comes from their godly DNA.
When they first met, he was trying to get the MC to act less slovenly but made the mistake of agreeing to a wager: he'd let them dress however they pleased if they could give him the BEST drink he'd ever tasted.
Now, Satan isn't a huge drinker (thank you terrible alcohol tolerance), but he's still a man of fine tastes. Plus, he's sampled Demonus from Diavolo royal stock before. They should not have won…
But on that day, he had to let them go to RAD in a pink blanket toga... 😑 Their wine is just THAT good.
He hates to admit it, but they've gotten him drunk more times than he could probably count too… He's not a huge fan of clubbing with them and the others, but if they bring over a bottle from their vineyard he just can't resist. They're a master of their craft, truly.
And it's a good thing he likes their drinks so much, because if they called him, "Kitty-boy," when he's sober, he may have just become a sour grape himself…
They also may or may not have copious amounts of blackmail material of him either meowing between sentences, sobbing over some fictional character he likes, pole dancing on dares….
Yeah, he's been trying to destroy their phone for months now. If Lucifer were to see ANY of that, he's done for… 😣
He has also been meaning to ask them about other aspects of their abilities, their father is also the God of Madness after all, but anytime he tries to bring it up they shove another glass in his hand and tell him not to kill the mood...
Eh. What's the harm in having another drink, right? 🤷♀️
Asmodeus
Honey. He's MET Dionysus. He's been to a Dio-party or two and they're INSANE. He could not be more thrilled by this!!!
He practically scooped them up on the first night that they were in the House and it’s practically been a nonstop rave between these two ever since. They’re like the party twin he never knew he needed!!
He absolutely abuses their ability to turn pretty much any drink they touch into alcohol at clubs. It makes the nights so much easier on the wallet PLUS it makes an excellent little party trick to impress the succubi! Who doesn’t want a free drink? 😏
And can he just say that their drinks are better? Just flat out amazing! If it weren’t so unhealthy he’d consider drinking nothing but their booze and wine for the rest of his days, Satan’s certainly getting close to it.
But little does Satan know, he’s not even getting the GOOD stuff...
There’s the normal wine: grapes picked from the vineyard, hand squeezed, then magically helped through the fermenting process. But their real good stuff? They were given enchanted oak barrels from their father and anything that comes out of those is worth starting a WAR over. 😩
He knows, because he gifted an extra bottle to Diavolo once and Barbs came to him the very next day demanding to know what vineyard had produced it with the look of man willing to annex a small nation...
Asmo had to beg Lucifer to talk to Diavolo after the butler more or less kidnapped the MC back to the Castle… Devil knows even Barbs wouldn’t ever be able to reproduce their wine, so they could have been locked there for eternity!!
Thankfully, he got his party-buddy back and their debauchery continued! (Just now with Barbatos following them around sometimes like he’s trying to gather state secrets... It’s an impossible task but he hasn’t given up yet, bless his black heart.)
Beelzebub
He isn't much bothered by their carefree nature, at least they seem to be having fun with his family which he appreciates. 🙂
To be honest, though, he nearly ate them when they first met because they smell like freshly peeled grapes… and for good reason.
By their third day at the House they had (somehow) planted and cultivated a full on vineyard in the courtyard. Hell, the wall growing to their bedroom balcony was covered in grapevines!! Always ripe and completely healthy in defiance of the lack of sun... Whatever magic they used was strong.
And, of course, their grapes were also delicious! Easily among the best fruits he's ever tasted! Every cluster is ridiculously plump, juicy, and sweet like little droplets of pure Heaven… 🤤
When their fruit first ripened, the MC came out with a basket to collect some only to find Beel had gouged himself on over half of their crop!!!
… which may have been why he got snared up on one of the courtyard walls by pissed off grapevines... Even with all his strength, he couldn't break through them and had to wait for Lucifer to cut him down… 😔
From then on, Beel was pretty much the pesky rabbit to the MC's harvest. They had to set up traps and magical barriers to keep him from their precious grapes…!! Which inevitably meant one of his brothers had to come rescue him from their furious vines at least once a week... 🙄
SOMETIMES, the MC will bring him along to help harvest with them with the deal that he can have an extra basket for however many he helps them pick. But the second he takes a bite he shouldn't, it’s back on the wall!
Out of the vineyard, they're nice enough. But put some grapes between these two and they're mortal enemies… STOP messing with their plants, Beel!! 😤
Belphegor
So… this drunken fool is supposed to get him out of the attic? Never mind, this is never going to work…
He was SEVERELY underwhelmed when the "human" finally made it up the steps. This was who they decided to bring for their exchange program? They seemed like they could barely stand!
Naturally, he figured all the better for him. They probably wouldn't even last that long!
Some poor, incompetent human falling victim to a demon out there? Diavolo's reputation would in tatters and he wouldn't even have to lift a finger! (His favorite way of doing things really 😌).
But… they just kept coming back? Like. Nothing was killing them….! How guarded were they keeping this moron??
Or… maybe it was something else?
Sure, the MC seemed like a drunken idiot but there were times when he'd swear that they were just… too aware to be sloshed…
MC: *suddenly stops smiling at him mid-conversation and looks him in the eye* You tilt your head when you lie. You know that?
How can someone so cheerful ALSO be so unnerving…?
So really, he should have seen their sudden heel-turn after they opened the door coming. There he was, fully intending to take them by surprise and choke them after a hug…
...and they knocked him down, climbed onto his back like a spider monkey, and rode him around like a bucking bull using his horns like handlebars!!
It wouldn’t have been AS humiliating if they didn’t also keep shouting things like "Giddiyap!" And "Yee-haw!!"
It took him a whole month to be sure that any and all footage of that nightmare was erased and he STILL hates the MC quite a bit for it…. But he's too scared to attack them now, so…
The lesson here? It's not a fair fight when one side’s crazy... 😔😒

For real though, my favorite thing about Encanto is how much I saw of my life in it even though I'm not Colombian.
Not talking about a certain relative for whatever reason, the elders having certain expectations of you and people before you (parents, aunt's and uncles, older siblings, etc.) either straying from them or following though but not really talking about them.
The ridiculous telenovela plots, the superstition, growing up alongside your cousins, aunt's and uncles because a lot of the time we don't move too far from the house we grew up in if we ever move out at all.
At the same time it's quite baffling how people with other cultures are taking some of the things in the movie.
Like, whenever someone portrays Bruno as the weirdest man to ever exist because of the things he does to ward off bad luck and write Mirabel as wary of him because of it I'm like "Bro, some of us put ojos de venado on baby's wrists, scissors under their beds and salt on their windowsills because we don't want brujas to steal them or give them mal de ojo, chill out with the knocking and the salt"
Because genuinely Bruno is just some guy to us and I love that about him
The reason I fell in love with this movie from the very beginning is bc of how seen I felt while watching it. I was like,, oh my god, yes, that’s it! That’s what it’s like to live it a Latin family! I still live with my family, most of my Latin friends still live with their family or go to their family home enough that they practically still live there. The expectation to do better than those who made the sacrifices to get you there and working SO hard all the time to meet it. The aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents all taking a roll in the family and sticking to it and just generally always being around. There is no difference between cousins and siblings.
And the culture! Parties that go all night, abuela running the show, the food, the gossip! THE TELENOVELAS! My friends favorite part of the movie is the part in We Don’t Talk About Bruno where Camilo goes ‘ISABELA YOUR BOYFRIENDS HERE!’ While there’s so much going on and dinner is being served and there’s loud gossip and dancing and that should tell you everything about why we love this movie.
And honestly truly Bruno is just a normal guy to me. He has superstition just like anybody in his situation would?? Like he’s believed to be a harbinger of bad luck of course he tries to ward bad luck off with superstition that he learned from his culture. We are extremely superstitious!
I refuse to have a mirror bigger than a little circle one in my room and it’s not allowed to be facing my bed. I will never give a man a pair of shoes. I won’t let anyone go near my feet with a broom. Eat twelve grapes at midnight for good luck on New Years. Run around your neighborhood with a suitcase on New Years to grant you the ability to travel. If you cut a babies hair before they turn one it’ll never grow back, and they won’t walk or talk in time with their peers. Wear socks inside the house or you’ll get sick, never go outside with wet hair or you’ll die. Never gift knifes at a wedding. Hold your breath when you’re in a precarious situation, even if you’re perfectly safe. If your right palm itches close it into a fist, you’re going to get money soon and this won’t allow it to escape. If your left palm itches it means you’re going to have to pay for something soon. Mal de ojos is a real thing my dude, and I won’t stare at a baby too long in public so I don’t make mothers afraid for their baby.
Stuff like that is normal to us, but to other cultures it is seen as odd. And honestly, Bruno knocking on wood or crossing his fingers and throwing salt is the least odd thing he could be doing on my mind. The most tame of them all! He had a broom standing upside down for gods sake, he had to have learned that one from abuela! He could be refusing to wear black underwear to avoid bad luck or placing buckets of water everywhere to absorb the bad energy. He could just have easily burned casita down by placing candles everywhere to burn the bad luck. But he sticks to unwanted visitors and throwing salt for luck.
He is very normal compared to some people I know personally, guys. He’s just a Latino man.
#encanto#bruno madrigal#superstitions#wait guys I looked back at it and he also had candles everywhere#and this makes me happy#it’s not weird it’s just the culture
