Seraphim Eye Practice + Headcanons

(I made these well before the official episode came out so these are older designs)

These are the eyes that I have finished and I’m proud to share with the world. I have given the seraphim names and some head canons to go with them. I also aged up all of the seraphim outside of S-Snake because I love how baby she is.

S-Hawk is actually one of two. I don’t know how I got it into my head, but I liked the idea of Mihawk having twin seraphim. They came about like regular twins, but if they were tube babies.

They are both called S-Hawk and they were separated when they were very young. Both are overprotective of each other because of being separated. The one you see at the very top is Crowley and the one at the very bottom is Montoya. Inigo Montoya and Crowly. Both of the twins eyes were replaced with robotic ones. They can even change color! Blue for Docile, Yellow for Alert, and Red/Pink for Danger. There is also Green, but none of the Punks know why they turn green since they rarely flash green. 👀

Crowley has the cloned devil fruit; but Montoya, on the other hand, ate an actual devil fruit. I call it the Fuse-Fuse fruit! It is a paramecia type that can fuse two or more things together. Both organic and inorganic materials can be fused. He typically fuses with S-Gecko. Montoya and S-Gecko were placed together while Crowly was placed with S-Crocodile and S-Catapiller. Crowley doesn’t use a sword, instead he uses a guitar that doubles as both a gun and a battle ax. It is the turducken of weapons. I kept their eyes similar to their original design (manga) since that’s what I stared with. Not much to talk about. But both of their wings are like that of a crow and not a hawk. The Punks don’t have a lot of knowledge on bird wings apparently 🤷 Crowley has tons of piercings I just didn’t add/you can’t see any of them. He is very much punk rock vs. Montoya who is very elegant vintage.

I’ve been calling S-Crocodile Dharma. Dharma Al Dini. I had a different name that started with a D for Dharma but I forgot to write it down so I had to change it. After watching a play through of Venba, I got the idea of Crocodile being able to speak Tamil and eating Indian food and that’s how Dharma came to be. Dharma knows how to speak Tamil and how to cook. I also gave him an Italian last name because of the whole mafia theme Crocodile’s got going on.

I had an outline of S-Crocodile way before it was revealed and what I have written down is so far off from the original that when I look at the seraphim I’m like, “Why are you so different?” And then I remember that when I first met these characters we only knew S-Hawk, Snake, Shark, and Bear and we didn’t even know if they were conscious. Dharma is very soft spoken and is very muted compared to Crocodile. Crocodile exudes confidence and superiority. Dharma is a very gentle presence and, while confident, lacks the same authority and charisma his prime does. (I’m calling the OGs Primes so I don’t have to constantly write out their names).

I made his eyes a star bursts with light coming out of them. Kinda like a start shooting light. I changed his eyes to be more of a warm honey color than Crocodile’s harsh gold (before Toei decided to change Crocodile’s eye color for no reason). I really wanted to show the difference in their personality in an obvious way. I also gave him makeup around his eyes because I thought his face looked to bare and it became a theme for nearly all the seraphim. I made Dharma’s wings that of a sparrow’s due to that one cover story, also his wings are closer to his hips than his shoulders. His aesthetic is a casual glam. He look effortless and like an average guy, but also extremely expensive.

S-Snake is a very curious child. She is very sweet, adventurous, self-assured, and bossy. She is trusting to a fault that her older brothers are over protective of her. I have named her Yumi. Yumi Stone. She and the others discovered that her devil fruit doesn’t require that they actually look at her, in fact, you don’t even need to see her for her devil fruit to work. The only qualification is that there is love. She can petrify the other seraphim because they love her and each other. She has used her powers on couples and parents to try and test how far her powers can go. Her powers also have some healing properties to it. She is interning under S-Gecko to become a doctor (This is due to trauma which I will get to maybe never).

Okay, to start off, I love how cute I made her!!!! Look at her, look at my baby! She is the definition of adorable. Her eyes were the most fun and, shockingly, the easiest to come up with because I had the idea of making each of the seraphim have unique eyes (by the time I hit S-Flamingo I had officially run out of ideas and just said fuck it close enough). I made her eyes a light purple because I thought it would break up all the warm colored eyes I was doing. I added the rings and the mini-stars because I loved the idea of her having like a sorta planetary eye. I nearly did the rings for Dharma and S-Gecko, but I scrapped the idea because it was not working. I gave her some small eye liner because all of the others had some form of make up. I didn’t want it to be to extreme and wanted to keep it simple for her and it ended up in her eyes looking more owlish and it’s just—mwuah!❤️ Not on purpose but I fell in love with it. That small little thing has also made me head canon that her wings are like an owls. Her eyes are easily my favorite over all. Yumi doesn’t have any specific aesthetics, she just wears whatever she thinks is cute or what her brothers pick out for her. She can really be any of the boys aesthetics when she wants to be. Like one day she can have a biker jacket on and the next she’s wearing a gardener outfit.

Next Batch! And I won’t be starting with S-Caterpillar, I’m saving him for last 😉

S-Gecko’s name is Frankenstein. At this point you can already tell the second theme that I picked out for the seraphim is that they are all of their names are based off of different fictional characters because I like to think that they choose their names from their favorite characters!

Frankenstein was also the first one to be created. We literally do not know how long he was a warlord for, but we do know that he lost a shit ton of blood to Kaido way back when! I like to believe that Gecko Moria was the entire reason the seraphim program exists because waaaaayy too many people forget that in his prime he was an actual candidate for becoming an emperor/the pirate king.

Frankenstein (just Frank or Stein depending on whose talking to him) is very similar, yet extremely different from his prime. • Similarities include : both work with the dead, are tacticians, and are very heavy sleepers. Stein is a workaholic and the other seraphim rarely, if ever, see him since he mainly stays in his room. He is very abrasive and is regularly seen wearing a scowl, but he also has a wicked sense of humor that you don’t get to hear often and is even funnier because you don’t expect it. He is an actual certified doctor which is important to know because he is the other seraphim’s primary doctor, but his day job is to work as a mortician. Despite his job as a mortician, he’s very delicate with the bodies. He has never attempted to raise the dead like his prime. He has never held any shame or disgust towards a body. He will do small things that seem illogical to some, but he was always superstitious type. He will sing lullabies to dead and gently push hair out of their faces. He will recount his day like he was talking to an old friend or a patient. Stein is a religious person in a loose sense. He won’t pray to any god and swears like a sailor but he won’t go out of his way to actively piss off a spirit. Stein is Montya’s best friend. In my head their relationship changed from two people that knew each other in passing to closer than anything. Montya developed some pretty serious separation anxiety after he was separated from Crowly. Once he was placed with Stein he just clung onto him and never let go. Stein, despite being very much a loner and not really a people person, let him cling to him. When Montya’s eyes were replaced with robotic ones and were malfunctioning, he used his devil fruit to create a sort of cooling agent to stop them from overheating. They had small little moments like these that built up over the years in captivity that made them inseparable…literally. After Montya ate his devil fruit he was forced to go under a series of experiments to test the limits of his devil fruit. One where they used Stein as a “motivator”. After one world government agent took it too far, in a panic, Montya fused himself and Stein together. It took several weeks to get them to unfuse forcing the WG to drop the experiment altogether. The two of them still fuse from time to time just to feel close. Frankenstein is the only person Montya has ever fused with. Not even Crowley.

Stein’s pupils are actually two different colors! They are two, three way triangles. I originally tried making his eyes like an atoms but I scrapped that idea. His wings are similar to an albatross. He also looks like Moria at his prime. Also I do realize that I gave him eyebrows even though he doesn’t have any, but they looked too good to discard. His aesthetic is yeehaw goth (Mihawk better watch out cause he’s side eyeing your territory). It is polarizing to see him and Montoya together because of how different their personalities are but still are best friends, yet him and Crowly absolutely hate each other with a burning passion and only really tolerate each other when Montoya is around. The second he turns around they are already throwing down and throttling each other into the stratosphere.

S-Flamingo. Better known as Donquixote Sancho. He is the very antithesis of Doflamingo. Not in a “they look exactly the same but we are totally different” but in a “Everything I do, I do to spite you” kinda way. Sancho is a priest and is respectful to literally everyone but the people in power. He lives modestly and refuses to live outside of the bare necessities. He refuses to use Doflamingo’s devil fruit and doesn’t even see it as his own power. He uses a god damn sword that is made out of seastone all the way through just because he doesn’t want to use Doflamingo’s devil fruit. Sancho loathes Doflamingo with such a passion that he takes everything he knows about him and flips it on its head just so he can avoid being reminded that he’s technically his son (brother. Him-Something?). Doflamingo has short hair? He grows his out. Doflamingo has an atrocious, outrageous sense of style? Wears nice, plain clothing. You can see where this is going. The only reason I gave him sunglasses was because I didn’t think he looked like Doffy enough without them. Each of the seraphim are supposed to be recognizable despite not even having the same color palette as their primes so just ignore the sunglasses (now that I’m looking at the photo again I realize that I forgot to give him makeup). His wings are similar to a swans.

Now is the little bastard’s turn. S-Caterpillar.

Or better known by the others as Godbrand Puck.

Now let’s get one this straight about Godbrand. He is almost exactly like Buggy. In fact the world government would consider him their first perfect, and only, total success. He emulates Buggy to a T. He is loud, eccentric, and all around flashy. Normally the world government would consider this to be a flaw that they can just beat out of him if it wasn’t for one very special factor. He is physically incapable of feeling pain. He isn’t just called Godbrand for shits and giggles. He has been branded with both the Slave brand and the Word Government’s symbol multiple times. Not once did he scream out in pain. In fact he stared giggling the first time it happened. He even fell asleep during one of these “sessions”.

Puck is the only one without green blood because when Vegapunk was first experimenting he decided to lace the artificial devil fruit with the DNA to make the seraphim automatically born with the devil fruit. This lead to the interesting discovery that due to the nature of Buggy’s devil fruit and the inherent nature of devil fruits permanently changing a users body, Puck’s pain receptors were completely severed. They tested this theory on several other Buggy clones that ended up in total failures because of the Chop-Chop fruits nature to split apart. Some of them were missing limbs or organs, others simply didn’t form correctly like an arm coming out of the head or the eyes were placed on the neck, sometimes there were an extra set of something like a row teeth or more than one head. Because Vegapunk tampered with re-adding the devil fruit into Buggy’s DNA none of his clones came out right leaving only Puck. The Golden Child. A Miracle. The Best out of a series of total and utter failures left with an extremely desirable trait in the World Government’s eyes. A solider who could continue on without being held back by something as trivial as pain. Of course until you realize that “desirable trait” leaves him with the inability to seek treatment. Biting his own fingers off. Swallowing his teeth and chewing on his own tongue till it’s bloodied. Ripping out stitches and IVs. Walking on a infected leg that has completely rotted bellow the knee. After that Vegapunk vowed to never clone another the same way he did Puck. Both too risky and high rate of failure. Even if the clone does survive, their could be some unforeseen complications down the line. With him being unable to feel pain, he feels no fear. Remember when I said he was almost exactly like Buggy? What is Buggy’s most notable traits? He is a complete and utter coward terrified of pain and will do almost anything to avoid it. But Puck? With him unable to feel pain, he feels no reason to fear anything. Why feel fear a fate worse than death when that “fate worse than death” is just feeling pain? That little chip the WG and Vegapunks invented to make them unable to feel anything or disobey orders? That is merely a controlled shock that will make them feel excruciating pain. So with that in mind, can you see where this is going? That little desirable trait that they oh so loved in the beginning has bitten them in the ass because this insufferable little shit doesn’t follow orders unless he wants to. Oh sure he won’t be able to “properly” move for a while but can just use his devil fruit to still make it work. What “fate worse than death” can they make him feel? He can’t even experience something so universal to the human experience that he believes himself to be above it all. He’s better than humanity. He is better than the other seraphim because they are all held down by the temporary emotion known as pain. They are below him because they are held back by something so…unnecessary.

Puck is everything the Buggy pretends to be. Puck is confident, powerful, and better than everyone else. He’s basically God. At least in his own eyes. Puck is a raging narcissist, like clinical textbox definition of a narcissist. He like Buggy, but everything is cranked up to an eleven. If crazy was a kind of clock, Buggy would be a single full rotation. Luffy would be like twenty full rotations and then clockwise and then back again on the perfect level of fun crazy and absolute Eldrich abomination. PUCK would be the exact opposite of Luffy landing on the worst amount of self import delusional asshole. He thinks himself a God with the power to back it up. His blood is that of the seraphim, a species that was once considered godlike, and Buggy, an emperor of the sea. He is the nepotism of blood. He is every last one of Buggy’s WORST possible traits. He is a narcissist, psychopathic, asshole. None of the other seraphim like him or understand him. And he doesn’t like or understand them. Worst of all, he is just as much of charismatic genius as his prime.

This brat has the critically thinking skills as Crocodile mixed with Buggy’s chemical expertise and Shank’s level of haki control. On my first post, you can see Puck with four wings. Because Buggy’s devil fruit already allows him to fly, he uses his wings as living armory. He can separate his feathers to create either daggers or swords depending on the situation. He uses his armament haki to make his feathers as strong as steel. Or he can uses his feathers for recon missions (think Hawks from MHA). He can also use his devil fruit for a variety of other situations. He uses it for espionage and undercover missions. He can cut his hair or limbs to appear taller or shorter. He removes his wings, nose, his own dick and Adam’s apple (if the situation calls for it) to go better under cover. He’s also knowledgeable enough about surgery to perform top and bottom surgery to easily switch between male and female when going under cover. He has entire rooms fill of wigs, makeup, clothing, dyes, jewelry, and other accessories specially for him. All his years undercover has made him an excellent actor. He knows what to say to get them to do what he wants. He knows how to persuade someone. No matter how much the others hate him, they have to admit, he is damn good at what he does.

For his design to most important thing to me was clown. I wanted to nail that performer look without making it too much or too bland. Buggy’s makeup is iconic. I’m like 90% sure Buggy has an egg. So I wanted to nail that Star of the Show look without butting into his territory. Of course I gave him Star first to not alone tie in the whole celestial feel, but it was thematic. I originally wanted to add in a moon since he already has a Star and a Sun but it just wouldn’t turn out how I wanted so first thing I asked myself was, “What is some of the most iconic clown makeup?” Then I remembered. TEARS! You can see a small blue tear on his left eye for 1.)Buggy is a bit of a crybaby and 2.)I didn’t want it to distract from the star too much. For the heart and the spade on the top of his forehead, it ties into playing cards. The heart and the spade are from a childhood drawing of mine where I made a monster using the four suits. Diamond and Club for the eyes. Heart on the forehead. And Spade as the nose. I took that idea and simplified it down to make the forehead not look as big. His eyes are easily my second favorite because we have a lot of warm colored eyes so that made him standout a lot more. His eyes are also the only ones that aren’t totally connected. All of the other seraphim’s eyes are very soft in some kind of way, Frankenstein being somewhat of an exception. All of their eyes are rounded in some kind of way. Dharma has a lot of curves to his eyes. The pointed edges of the twins, Yumi, and Sancho has been rounded off. Hell, even Frankenstein’s eyes have rounded lines in them to make appearance softer. Pucks eyes are completely sharp, there are no soft or rounded edges. Even the smaller stars are very straight and stiff. There is no softness in his eyes. There is nothing soft about Puck. His eyes are radioactive green. They are toxic. They are dangerous. They are tempting. He is the prettiest poison you’ve ever seen. His makeup, his nose, his hair and clothing are all attempts to make him appear softer than he really is. And of course, if you’ve seen my drawing of him, his wings are based off of duck wings. 1.) It’s a pun because Duck>Puck. Pretty self explanatory. And 2.) To make him appear weaker than he really is. You don’t look at a duck and think, “Total Murder Monster Hellbent on Making the World Kneel to Him”

Sorry for the long post. This is the longest I’ve ever written on this website so far and I had a lot I wanted to say before we got any new chapters or episodes that totally debunks any of my theories or lore. Maybe I’ll add on to this post by making the seraphim and their primes interacting with each other for the first time. And I hope you enjoyed! You can ask me questions if you want.

Original VS Italian Cover!

Cartoon Rap Battles: Magica De Spell vs Count Duckula

Been a while... and this may be the last one of these for a good while until I can get some better creativity going. That's neurodivergencies for ya.

Magica De Spell:

Abra Cadabra, and a Bette Midler movie too I’ve summoned a vampire before that was much greater than you

You really wish to go beak to beak with one of Cartoons greatest foes? I can outwit Scrooge McDuck, so I can keep you on your toes

I’ve got control over meteors, I can alter the shape of reality While all you strive to be is a half-wit no talent celebrity

Your first Foray against a real opponent, not that incompetent Goosewing You don’t have any teeth kid, this battle was your greatest misdoing

I’ve watched your show, every episode is a slog It can’t be easy being green, let me turn you into a frog

You’re just a cowardly egotist, a juice drinking kale lover So fly back to home and cower under your bed cover

Count Duckula:

In the Vampire Hall of Fame In the heart of Transylvania There’s not a vampire Zanier than me, Duckula

Tell me to fly home, I’ve got a genuine castle you know And it’s nicer than your shack you built at the base of a volcano

You’re rival is Scrooge McDuck and you’re his ally from time to time But I find it all the more curious that you’re fighting over a stupid dime

You’re an Italian, questo è un fatto, so answer me this De Spell Why did they decide to give you the voice of Natasha Fatale?

You’re after the midas touch to make everything turn to gold But it couldn’t save your rhymes, your bars are worthless all told

Go throw a tantrum like this is yet another one of your failed plans You’re being beaten by another old duck Magica, this victory is out of your hands

Magica:

Alakazam, Klaatu and Hey Presto too! I haven’t laughed at vegan beasts like this since I watched Troll 2

I’m a sultry and seductive enchantress from comic pages You’re an improperly resurrected corpse from the middle ages

I’m dropping nothing but Foof Bombs you’re all quack and no bite Best friend of Madam Mim I’m the real terror of the night

The original Duck Witch stepping up to take over the house While you’re predated by Quacula on Mighty Mouse

This evil witch shall haunt you from the shadows for as long as I please I’m so evil and naughty I can make the Beagle Boys freeze

You’re about as threatening as an understuffed Care Bear Between us both, you’re Green Day while I’m Aurelio Voltaire

Count Duckula:

Keep shouting Pokémon names I’m sure something will happen soon I think I’d be more intimidated By the lamest of Maleficent’s Goons

Evil witch? I think the proper word is terrible You were defeated by a family you turned into animals

You turned your brother into a raven drove away your own niece Or should all this annoying cartoon multiverse garbage simply cease?

There’s too many of you Magica, there is only one of me Resurrected from DangerMouse it was Nickelodeon who summoned me

Capcom stole me for a boss, I was out a few months prior, you know? And Matt and Frank made an emo version of me for your brother Poe

You’re always outwitted by some kids you can’t even handle your own And everybody knows you want the magic wand of Lucky Gladstone

Seriously, you’re the worst witch I’ve ever had to fight You can call me Michael Stipe because this is me in the Spotlight

Botanic Tournament : Honorary Mentions !

Explanations here

Round 1 Part 1 Poll 1

Explanations underneath

Chocola(t) Meilleure (meilleure is the feminine form for the adjective "better" in French) is one of the two main characters from a magical girl manga turned anime known as Sugar Sugar Rune in English. The other protagonist is Vanilla Mieux (mieux means best in French), her best friend with opposite looks and personality). It seems her name is sometimes written Chocolat (which does mean chocolate in French, with a silent "t") and sometimes Chocola (which I think I saw it several times on French covers and I believe it's the writing used in the French version)

From her original submitter : "I don't know if chocolate is close enough to a plant name but Chocola is my favourite character from this anime so I wanted to at least try to submit her"

As a pollrunner, I hesitated a bit when I saw that another family member was -at least occasionally- named Pepper and that her Mom was called Cinnamon since it shows an intention... but nevertheless I'd refused characters for less and chocolate is manufactured. I would have accepted Cacao/Cocoa.

Several characters named Momo have appeared in the polls before. They all -unless I messed up- have names written with the right kanji for "momo" to mean "peach" or in hiragana (which transcribes sound but not meaning), which means the meaning of their name is ambiguous, since "momo" has several meanings in Japanese. I didn't put Momos with names written with a kanji that had other meanings. (Note : from personal experience, I'll also note that Momo is sometimes the short for longer names, such as Maureen and Mohamed)

This specific Momo's a character of unspecified origin (lives in a fantasy world) from an eponymous novel written by the German author Michael Ende (yes, the one who wrote The NeverEnding Story). The animated series was a spin off an Italian animated adaptation of the novel. Several characters have traditionally Latin/Italian names such as Beppo, Nino or Livia -which is also the case in the book- and Ende wrote the book in Italy and stated that it was a testimony of his love for Italy. I believe that Momo's dark eyed in the novel but we're dealing with the TV version and I don't have any information potentially indicating that Momo could be Japanese / that her name was chosen because it could mean peach (no imagery of her being associated with it, no pink colored theme -momo also means pink when it means peach-, etc.)

Hence why I chose not to include those two in the first place. However, they belong in the Honorary Mentions.

10 songs from shuffle vs 5 you actually listen to

I was tagged by @chiomaus for this—thank you! These come from my 7,000 song playlist on Youtube where I save all most of the songs I find online. (P.S. click the song titles to listen to them!)

10 songs from shuffle:

Café Du Monde—Tank & The Bangas: I recently heard this on the radio's funk hour and had to write it down! Beautiful melodies and harmonies, captivating horn section, what's not to love?

All Touch—Rough Trade: A Canadian Classic! Carole Pope was one of the first openly Lesbian musicians to gain a hit song in with gay themes in Canada with "High School Confidential" a few years earlier

Fools Rush In—Jo Stafford: I was trying to find a different version of this song when I found this one—although I prefer Lesley Gore's and Bow Wow Wow's versions more, its hard to be harsh on Jo Stafford and her piercingly brilliant vocals

I'll be Alone—Barbara Redd: A hidden gem from the Northern Soul scene! My favourite moment is when she sings the lyrics "home to stay" and the record quality can't quite contain her passion

Hot in Here—Jenny Owen Youngs: The first one on this list I'm a little embarrassed by. All I can say is I thought this was a clever cover back in high school.

Amen—Sarah Slean: Another Canadian gem! This whole album is great, but this is a standout track!

All the Black (Acoustic)—Cat Clyde: I forgot about this song! A good ol' tear-jerker, to be used sparingly on rainy days and lonely nights

Bachelorette—Bjork: It's a classic for a reason—one of the first songs to finally get me into Bjork

What a Day—Carl Fenton Orchestra: Another one I don't really remember saving to this playlist, but it's a good melody

Prologue: Disasterpeace: Ending on a bit of an odd note—I want to get more into chiptune but usually it's just a background thing. This one's alright, not much to say

5 i actually listen to:

These are just a few songs that have been on rotation the past few days

Billy Toppy—Men I Trust: Another Radio find—gosh that bassline! It reminds me of Joy division and Lebanon Hanover

Chapel of Love—Holly and the Italians: I love the Dixie Cups' original dearly, but there's nothing wrong and everything right with a power-pop reinterpretation!

Odds and Ends—Dionne Warwick:—A lesser known Burt Bacharach tune, but I think one of his best—again, a real tear-jerker for me if I'm feeling melancholic

Don't Take your Time—Roger Nichols & The Small Circle of Friends: Can you tell I've been in a sunshine/bubblegum/baroque pop mood lately? What can I say, I love my orchestration lush and melodies soaring!

Mama (Martyn Young Mix)—Wolfgang Press: From the Party Girl (1995) soundtrack, a great and groovy dance track to see us out!

I tag @earnedmagic , @judelaws-hairline, @uncle-girl , and @joanofarc —I can't wait to hear whats on your playlists!

The Maltese balconies are called Gallarija

The term is of Italian origin, but with a shift in meaning (galleria, covered passage, vs balcone, balcony). The stone brackets or corbels that support the balcony are called saljaturi (it: sogliature vs mensole, beccattelli). The hinged glass flaps are purtelli (it: sportelli) and the blinds are called tendini (it: tendine)

#MaltaDay3.3

you might’ve covered this in the IC but, where/when/how/etc does the term “novel” come to be used for a realistic prose fiction (or, in the parlance of our times, for prose fiction in general)?

I don't think I actually did give the history of the word in the IC. It enters English in about the 1500s from medieval Italian where it referred to the types of stories you'd find in something like The Decameron. Hence the word's association with prose, the secular, the contemporary, and the everyday, as against the enchantments, adventures, mythic time, and elevated tone or poetic form of the romance genre. In French, Italian, and other European languages, "romance" (roman, romanzo, etc.) remained the word for book-length fiction, while words like novella or nouvelle continued to refer to short fictional forms. In English, on the other hand, we ended up making a distinction not of length (short "novel" vs. long "romance") but of content (realistic "novel" vs. fantastic "romance"). Traces of the original definitions remain in our use of "novella" for fictional narratives shorter than the novel proper, or, e.g., Henry James's "blessed nouvelle," as he called longer forms of short fiction with their potential for perfection.

I do want to have Ozymanzous be a silent comic to sell the book. Using random splash panels and longer sequences (than usual) of charades (charades-type) and color coded thoughtbubbles (one color for imagined futures, one for remembered pasts) where the thoughtbubbles are visual. But then like. Part of the story is just debate vs argument and it's just about Kouragra is like "Latin doth be kind of Italian right" and Enalore is like "you're adorable. did you just call our grandpa [grandpa] lord god in heaven [our father]?" because deep down I'm just like Tolkein. so there's just gonna be random splash pages of grandpa as god. no but listen once you get used to it. it will work

(ID: David Byrne's funny album cover for uh-oh, of a painting of angels singing to a throne with a clipart dog on it. But the dog is Christopher Eccleston. A silouette of a furry is saying it. Enalore is making a judgemental face saying two conjoined speech bubbles, end ID.) the silouette is Kouragra of course

this but different

and as it goes there will be my official funny captions

(ID: The judgmental Enalore saying uh oh, is right." end ID)

And then once the thing is finished (cross your fingers knock on wood) posting the dialogues like a versoin of the comic with the dialogues probably chapter by chapter for like 2 weeks. during christmas time.

but yeah the splash pannels will also not make sense, ever.

I promise. You'll see. using different shapes of speech bubbles and using colors and monochromes and stuff.

It would be like this

(ID: Editted bits of Dungeon Meshi, of Chilchalk pointing at a wall saying something. Then the wall with a shadow on it. Then Chilchalk feeling along the wall for two panels (very poorly drawn) with "it's around here, I think" written down but not in a speech bubble, an aside. They're standing touching their face with one hand across their chest, thinking of Laios getting caught in a bear trap, Marcille hung by the ankle in a snare, and Senshi's helmet floating above a pit. They're making a serious face. The party is walking down a slope singing, with anction lines highlighting that there is nothing ahead. Then Marcille is shouting something tentatively waving her staff. Her same face again waving her staff, but bigger. Laios hand-waving her judgementally. Tiny Chilchalk face with a sweat drop, end ID.)

and then the funny captions is like this

(ID: The same page where Chilchalk is saying "Is it a square? A triangle? It's around here somewhere. Yeah it's a "round." I think we would get along better if you learned a lesson." Marcille exclaiming "I'm good at magic." and Laios saying "Rogues have better magic in 5e." end ID.)

it sounds like real time fan dub except it's not real time so it should be funnier but it's not that important.

and then finally you get

(ID: The same editted page with the real translations. chilchalk saying "How about using the hidden path? There's... [that's my poor editting] It's around here I think. There's a lot of traps but few monsters." Marcille says "I could use my trap removal magic and..." And Laios says "It would be fast to have Chilchack do it." end id)

which is a longer more tedious version of the original, whcih is 2 pannels on a 7 pannel page

(ID: Chilchalk saying "How about using the hidden path? It's around here I think." Pointing at the wall, which has some moss growing on it. "There's lots of traps but few monsters." In the next pannel, Marcille and Laios do their exchange, where he's walking away from her in the same pannel, end ID.)

this is how to do filler guys. this is it. 2 pannels to one page. Obviously it's bad but I could have drawn the trap imaginings in the gutters and moved the speech bubbles around AND I should have drawn pannels around the bottom part. And obviously you'd be redrawing it. I'm not trying to disrepect Ryoko Kui by, like, having there be 2 marcille's as if she wasn't communicating it well enough by having it be just once her waving it behind his head. Us watching his hand gesture will see her wand. But the thing is, comics ARE about drawings and text and I think we relay a lot on text as an audience. and you can see she's talking about her magic, which humans have represented this mysterious power in wands and staves. but it has to be more charades-y or your eyes will start to glaze over.

Season 2 Premere

omg yippie, the new season starts this weekend! (Sunday for me, David McLane's Bravest Soldier)

Idk why this shit never works for me lol whatever

i have seen this listed (on their youtube i think) as episode 53, as season 9 (when taking all the other WOWs into consideration), and as Season 2 (since the Viacom/CBS deal), but all that shit is for nerds. Here's the real Gospel from WOWE.com:

WHO ATTACKED THE BEAST?: this shit has been so compelling, but nobody (oddly) has talked about it in a while. hopefully this has been weighing on the guilty parties' mind and keeping them up at night. I would not be shocked if it was traced back to Lana Star. I think she's ultimately the puppet master behind everything, but the Beast was most likely attacked by either Penelope Pink (eager to please Lana as her protege of the season) or Vicky Lynn Mc Coy (typical enforcer stuff)

even MORE compelling is the return of Adriana Gambino! i am a BIIIIG GambinoHead, so this is very exciting to me. Will we see her reunited with old tag team partner GiGi Gianii? (they both loved fashion, family and being italian!) Gigi is using the music Adriana had originally, and it feels like they have been wanting to use this character since the AXS era, so it will be interesting to see if they actually get into the murder cover up that the website still references. A girl can only dream!!

come on Dave, i know you have this in you.

Without immediately going off on another tangent, AJ Mendez missing from commentary is going to hurt on this one. She loved BOTH of these women so much.

Anyway, they seem to also be behind Jennifer Florez, and as if they want her in the mold of Stephy Slays. I think the Jen-Z thing is corny, just like Stephy's Millennial Superhero schtick. Following this, she might be one of those generic faces that gets squashed to make the other guy look good. (Adriana does need to come back hot, she did vanish for 30 episodes or so) In fact, I think that might even be the angle. I will toke on my purple doob if theres a video package of her from the previous season working in the murder angle and her not being in WOW)

That all being said, I think this is Adriana Gambino's win here.

Another bittersweet match- I don't believe the Heavy Metal Sisters are together anymore, so Fury is out on her own. I'm sure she'll do fine, She's beautiful and hi hello Fury if you're reading this i am free anytime baby xoxoxo.

Anyway.

Tormenta has been a fun addition to WOW and any excuse to see Sophia Lopez is always welcome with me.

Having said this, I think Fury is going to win, she has to make a good impression on day 1 too. (That might be an overarching theme here, wild!)

the now Title-less Carlson twins (in cute new gear tho) vs Crystal Waters & Sandy Shore. Spring Break joined up late in the season (and separately for a minute) and have mostly been fodder for other tag teams so far. Will that trend continue? Maybe Miami has something to prove? Maybe Lana has them in the doghouse? Maybe there will be an extensive video package to belabor every detail of this?

Giving this win to Miami Sweet Heat, but mostly for the sake of keeping Lana Star happy.

Big WOW welcome to all my fellow ChantillyHeads!!! She rules. She has an absolutely dated gimmick and perfect hair (it looks so good every season), she always makes her opponent look good, and she hits super hard. This is easily going to be a Penelope victory, but fingies crossed Chantilly gets a few good kicks in.

ALRIGHT WOW you know what i want:

More Exile

Exodus singles match

Lana Star mayyyyybe getting another blonde??

Are Men's Wingtip Shoes Formal Shoes?

There are many benefits to wearing a pair of genuine leather shoes. They’re durable, breathable, water resistant, easy to clean, and best of all they are incredibly stylish.

Leather shoes are often associated with formal wear. However, not all leather shoes necessarily fit for a formal function. What if, for example, you wanted to dress up for an occasion that isn't exactly formal or casual either?

This is where loafers, brogues and wingtips come in. Not too dressy, but not too casual either, in order to determine whether your leather shoes are for formal functions or not it's good to take a short look at their history.

What is a Wingtip Shoe? It was back in 16th century Scotland that men's wingtip shoes were first worn. They were first considered to be an outdoor shoe, known for having perforations punched into the leather to allow for water to more easily pass in and out of the shoe.

They were given the name wingtip because they looked very much like the wings of a bird, extending from the front of the shoe to both sides of it.

Men's Wingtip Shoes VS Brogues Brogues and wingtips are so similar in design that they're sometimes either mistaken for one or the other, or considered to be the same thing. Both have perforations to allow water to pass through, and were created for the countryside, where the Irish and Scottish would have to wade through boggy terrain during their travels.

The perforated details themselves are known as brogueing. There are different types of brogueing styles, most of which are just on the toe, but sometimes they cover the entire shoe. Not all brogue shoes, however, incorporate the winged shape.

That said, it makes sense to call any shoe with the wing shape a wingtip. Some men's wingtip shoes have long wingtips that run from the toe to the heel, whereas others have short wingtips that end somewhere along the side of the shoe.

So Are Wingtips Formal Wear? Considering the origins of brogues and wingtips, including their outdoorsy function, they would normally be considered as casual wear. Add to that the fact that when compared to Oxfords, the perforations on the brogues and wingtips do make them seem more fitting for casual affairs.

But just because it's not considered formal wear doesn't mean that wingtips and brogues aren't classy.

Several environments and functions where the brogue and wingtip would shine include:

● A romantic dinner date

● As a guest to a wedding

● Business dinners & lunches

● Cocktail events

● Job interviews

● Regular office wear

Cortado vs Cappuccino

Do you know the difference between a cortado vs cappuccino? If not, you're not alone. A lot of people don't know the difference, or even what either of those drinks are. In this blog post, we'll break down the differences between these two coffee drinks, so that you can order the perfect one next time you're at your favorite coffee shop. We'll also provide some tips on how to make them at home. Let's get started!

History

The first cappuccino was made in Italy in the early 1900s. It was originally made with equal parts espresso and milk, topped with foam. The word cappuccino comes from the Italian word "cappuccio," meaning "hood" or "cover." This is likely due to the fact that the foam on top of the drink resembles a monk's hood.

Cortado, on the other hand, is a Spanish coffee drink that has been around for centuries. It is made with espresso and steamed milk, but no foam. The name cortado comes from the Spanish word "cortar," which means "to cut." This refers to the fact that the steamed milk "cuts" the acidity of the espresso . At Indetitycoffees , they make our cortados with whole milk, but you can also use almond or oat milk if you're looking for a dairy-free option.

Difference between a cortado vs cappuccino

Now that we know a little bit about the history of each drink, let's break down the difference between a cortado vs cappuccino.

The biggest difference is in the amount of milk that is used. A cortado is made with an equal parts espresso and steamed milk. This results in a coffee drink that is less sweet and more intense than a cappuccino. A cappuccino, on the other hand, is made with more milk and less espresso. This makes it a sweeter and creamier drink.

Another difference between these two drinks is the foam. A cappuccino is topped with foam, while a cortado does not have any foam on top. The foam on a cappuccino is made by steaming milk and then blending it until it is light and airy. This foam adds a bit of sweetness to the drink and makes it more mellow.

Ingredients

Now that we know a little bit about the history of these two drinks, let's talk about what goes into them. As we mentioned before, cappuccino is made with espresso and milk, topped with foam. Cortado is also made with espresso and milk, but no foam.

The type of milk you use can also make a difference in the taste of your drink. For cappuccinos, many people prefer to use whole milk because it creates a richer, creamier beverage. You can also use skim milk, but the foam might not be as thick and creamy. For cortados, most people prefer to use whole milk or 2% milk. The fat content in these milks helps to round out the flavors of the espresso.

Instructions

Now that we know what goes into these drinks, let's talk about how to make them.

To make a cappuccino, you will need:

-Espresso

-Milk

-Foam (optional)

Start by making your espresso. Then, heat up your milk in a saucepan or in the microwave. If you're using a saucepan, be sure to whisk the milk frequently so that it doesn't burn. Once the milk is heated, use a frothing wand to create foam. If you don't have a frothing wand, you can simply pour the milk into a jar and shake it until it's foamy.

Pour the espresso into a cup, then top with milk and foam. If you want, you can also dust the foam with cocoa powder or cinnamon.

To make a cortado, you will need:

-Espresso

-Milk

Start by making your espresso. Then, heat up your milk in a saucepan or in the microwave. If you're using a saucepan, be sure to whisk the milk frequently so that it doesn't burn. Once the milk is heated, use a frothing wand to create foam. However, unlike with a cappuccino, you don't want too much foam for a cortado. Just enough to lightly cover the surface of the drink is perfect.

Appearance

A cortado is served in a small cup with an inch or so of foamed milk on top of the espresso. A cappuccino is served in a slightly larger cup with far more foam and often cocoa powder sprinkled on top.

Taste

A cortado tastes like espresso with a bit of milk to take the edge off. It is not as sweet as a cappuccino because there is less milk relative to the espresso. A cappuccino tastes like a sweeter, creamier version of coffee thanks to the increased amount of milk used.

Cost

Cortados and cappuccinos cost about the same. They are both made with espresso and milk, so the only difference in cost is going to be based on the location you're buying them from and whether or not you add any additional toppings.

Which one is better?

At the end of the day, it's up to you to decide which drink is better. If you like a sweeter, creamier coffee, then a cappuccino is probably your best bet. If you prefer a less sweet and more intense coffee, then a cortado might be more up your alley. Ultimately, it all comes down to personal preference. So, go ahead and experiment with both drinks until you find the one that you like best!

Conclusions

Cappuccino and cortado are two very popular espresso-based drinks. They both contain espresso and milk, but the main difference is that a cappuccino is topped with foam, while a cortado does not have any foam on top. The type of milk you use can also make a difference in the taste of your drink. Cappuccinos are typically made with whole milk, while cortados are usually made with whole milk or 2% milk. When it comes to cost, these two drinks are about the same. And finally, which one is better? It all comes down to personal preference! So go ahead and experiment with both until you find the one you like best. Thanks for reading!
