FINALLY.... my project for the week is finally done. over the past several days, i've been working on portraits for the player characters in my wednesday d&d campaign, 'into darkness we march,' aka the campaign my boy eden was created for. i wanna draw more art of this campaign in general, so i think this was a good start :3 i love these characters so dearly.

in order, we've got: barley the monk-warlock (played by my fiance @skitzo-kero), strata the fighter-paladin (played by my friend @paradoxspir1t), hyndrol the rogue (played by my friend @moonflowerrss), james the artificer-rogue (played by my friend joey, who is not on tumblr afaik), eden the artificer-warlock (played by me <3), and pevier the bard (played by my friend parker, who is also not really on tumblr.)

these characters mean the world to me.

taglist under the cut! ask to be added or removed <3

cover image of the Systema naturae of Carl Linnaeus, 1760. (x)

Did Linnaeus consider himself to be a second Adam? Certainly, he imagined himself, like Adam, to have been divinely inspired. He thus alluded to 1 Kings 17:8 —'and the word of the LORD came to him'— when giving an account of his authorship of binomial nomenclature. Perhaps most telling of all, the frontispiece of the 11th edition of Systema naturae (1760) shows him in Paradise surrounded by animals and plants of all kinds. At his feet is his own flower, Linnea borealis, while in the centre of the piece is depicted Diana polymammae, who represents the fecundity of nature. The iconography is unmistakeably that of Adam in Eden. [...] [But] Linnaeus's supporters also realised that this system was artificial, and only approached the perfection of Adamic taxonomy. The Scottish physician and naturalist Alexander Garden (1730-91), who gave his name to the beautifully scented gardenia flower, consoled Linnaeus for not having come up with a natural system of classification, observing: 'The man who gives the natural system must be a second Adam, seeing intuitively the differences of things.' In all this, the significance of the episode of Adam's naming of the creatures was that a natural nomenclature was in principle possible. While Linnaeus did not insist that his nomenclature was identical with the perfect system once delineated by Adam, he did seem to cherish the notion that it was a reasonable approximation. The difficulty with framing a complete system was the discovery of a new species, and this practical difficulty —one presumably not faced by Adam— precluded the construction of a perfect, natural system. As we have seen, this difficulty had long been recognised, following the failure of the natural classificatory systems of the seventeenth century.

- Peter Harrison ("Linnaeus as a Second Adam? Taxonomy and the Religious Vocation")

hi hello nico you asked to learn about my d&d character and i am here to provide Information via a ramble because that's the way i know best how to convey information. i have a lot of feelings about this character so i will try to be concise, not sure if i'll succeed! i also don't know how much you know about d&d so i apologize if i over-explain something you already know.

so my character in this campaign is named eden linnaeus! he's a gay, trans, and autistic tiefling (funky part-demon fella), and class-wise he's an artificer (science magic <3) multiclassing into warlock (made a deal with a fucked up eldritch monster in exchange for power). i love him so so dearly and i'm a little (a lot) fixated on him right now.

where to begin with himmmmmmMMM. okay. i'll talk a little bit about eden's backstory because i was writing some extra details of that up and made myself sad.

so eden is the son of a prominent scientist named abdiel linnaeus, also a tiefling, who was like. not necessarily abusive but also not a good guy on any level. when eden and his brother michael were young, abdiel actually walked out on them and their mom and hasn't spoken to any of them since </3 (it's very much a case of like... abdiel had understandable motives (he essentially was leaving to find a cure for the illness his wife was slowly dying from, but he didn't really... communicate what he was doing and also never came back), but his actions are unforgivable.)

as a result of his dad walking out on them, eden grew up with a very warped sense of self worth and a constant lingering sense that something's wrong with him, that he's not enough for the people around him. the only real way he knows how to cope with that is by overcompensating and always trying to the best--he won't only be enough, he'll be the BEST. (no i'm not projecting <3)

pretty much the moment he was able to, eden threw himself into scientific studies, going into the same field as his father (essentially like... a mix of medicine, biology, and chemistry, which doesn't really have a name yet oops) with the express purpose of surpassing his father. eden's plan is to become the best and most known dr. linnaeus in this field, to completely destroy whatever legacy his father built.

and the way to do that was to take things one step further <3 a lot of abdiel's work focuses on combining magic and science, and one thing he did a lot of research into was the possibility of combining them for the purpose of reviving the dead. wahoo! necromancy! so well. i think it's clear what eden decided he would do <3 abdiel's work was very theoretical, and eden decided to put it to the test.

eden did successfully revive one person, but it was a bad time all around and the person didn't live for very long in their new life, spending the entire ten minutes in horrific agony before dying again! and eden was left with a new dose of trauma that only made his desire to prove he could do it even stronger.

in the main storyline of the campaign, eden essentially spent the rest of his life working towards the goal of usurping his dad, and his fixation on this was so bad that pretty much all of his close relationships fell apart, which only fed into his lack of self-worth and desperation to prove himself and be not only enough but The Best.

aaand then when eden was 28 years old, he died. the exact cause i'm intentionally leaving a bit ambiguous, but the point is that he died in his lab, working himself to the bone until the end.

aaand that's actually when the campaign starts!!! because the basic premise of the campaign centers around a group of characters who died and were brought to a purgatory world by a being that wanted to give them a second chance at life. eden and the others, after some Plot happened, said "fuck off" to the second chance, clawed their way back to the world of the living, and are now trying to find the cause of and stop the corruption slowly overtaking their world and killing people.

ANYWAY so there's more things but that's the basic rundown of eden!!! and now i'm gonna talk a bit more about him because i love him. i apologize for how long this is.

one of my favorite things about eden that i'm realizing as i play him is that he's actually incredibly self-sacrificing when it comes down to it. he comes off as a very egotistical, self-centered character who doesn't give a shit about anything except his own superiority. but oh no he actually is the first person to give up pieces of himself (quite literally in some cases) to help those he cares about. on some level this is very much a result of him wanting to prove himself as being worthy of others' attention and affection, but it's something i really like thinking about.

and another thing i like a lot with eden is that he has a very analytical approach to everything around him. he's very fun to roleplay in that aspect because he's very different from me there, and i love thinking about his thought process and how he approaches things.

and something else i've been thinking about is that i think eden is very low-empathy and that also plays into his struggles to relate to others and his difficulty in relationships. (both b/c i enjoy writing low-empathy characters, because they're so different from me and also because i want to personally fistfight the trope of "they have no empathy so they're EVIL and ENJOY CAUSING PAIN")

aaaand okay wait last thing. this is probably a whole 'nother rant but there's a ton of parallels between eden and abdiel and i'm so so excited for eden's character arc going forward because i really want to explore that more. the biggest insult someone could say to eden is comparing him to his father, but also it's not really. in accurate.

ok thank u for your time

first of all: i love him so much it's unreal

second: oh!!!! he and i are in the low empathy gang together!! fuck yeah!!

third: i LOVE that backstory. it sounds so painful and complicated and like it will lead to such a great arc :D

i am microwaving him in my brain ty for telling me about this blorbo

Landscapes and vegetation are not simply the backdrop against which violence and dispossession unfold, but are mobilised as the very medium of violence [...]. ‘Botanical conflicts’ [...] also [include] [...] ‘epistemic violence’ (often amounting to [...] ‘epistemicide’) enacted through the imposition of colonial systems of categorising forms of life, notably botanical taxonomy.

Key here is the space of the garden, in multiple ways.

Gardens in the Western imagination often have utopian, pre-lapsarian associations, but are in fact riven with ambivalences that stem from questions concerning who is displaced in order to demarcate their boundaries, and whose labour is exploited to maintain them as sites of nourishment and enjoyment.

Let us recall here the original title of Fanon’s book, Les damnes de la terre, often translated as the ‘wretched’ of the earth but more accurately translated as ‘damned’, from damna, which refers to harm, hurt or injury. As Lewis Gordon points out, [...] the damned are those who fall below humanity, who are sent below ground into what Gordon names ‘the hellish zone of nonbeing’. (The etymology of ‘damne’ is also mediated by the Hebrew adamah, from ‘dem, via the Kamitian/Egyptian Atum, which means ‘man and clay or ground’.) As such, the colonised subjects remain cast out of the [...] garden of earthly delights, even if its is precisely through their knowledge and labour that the actual garden feeds and sustains the symbolic garden -- notably, the plantation system [...].

---

In the context of imperial botany the space of the garden was vital, with the frontrunners of the modern scientific botanic garden, which were established in sixteenth-century Italy, combining ‘the scientific ideal of comprehending universal nature’ [...] ‘by gathering together all the creations scattered at the fall of man.’ As such, the botanical garden can be understood as a laboratory of empire, as can tropical island colonies (also incubators for the revival of European Edenic dis/course) and the space of the plantation more broadly. Moreover, the construction of the category of the ‘damnes’ of the earth needs to be read in the context of this wholesale classification of forms of life enacted by imperial science. Notable botanists such as Linnaeus, as well as Hans Sloane and Joseph Banks, were influential in the development of scientific racism, as well as the endorsement of slavery and colonisation of foreign territories. Colonial natural science [...] was central in the construction of race and sexuality [...]. Linnaeus first classified human beings according to a racial taxonomy divided into four categories, determined by geography -- Homo sapiens americanus, europaeus, asiatiticus and africanus -- as well as two further categories: ‘wild man’ and ‘man-made’ monsters. From thereon, hierarchies of race came to bear upon forms of knowledge across fields [...].

This then was a crucial moment in the globalisation of measurement and quantification as the primary techniques for taxonomising and classifying life [...]. Crucial here was the space of the European plantation, through which a landscape model of scalability was enacted that provided the model for smooth expansion. The scalability of the plantation system, which ‘banishes meaningful diversity’, can be seen as the basis of what Donna Haraway names the ‘Plantationocene’, which continues today ‘with ever-greater ferocity in [...] monocrop agribusiness, and immense substitutions of crops like palm oil for multispecies forests [...]’. Anna Tsing draws our attention to the threat posed by the ecological simplifications produced by various forms of ‘plantation’ to the liveability of the planet. [...]

---

The inauguration of botany as a scientific discipline, which in time came to be premised upon Carl Linnaeus’s binomial system for classifying and hierarchising forms of life, took place as a consequence of the exploratory voyages of the European colonial project and the consolidation of the plantation system. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, plantocracy shaped the emergence of scientific justifications for colonial racism. Botanical taxonomy, as Londa Schiebinger writes, can be understood as ‘the base for all economics’, and was vital for state purposes, since exact knowledge of nature was key to amassing national wealth, and hence power. As such, botanists were ‘agents of empire’, and systems of nomenclature and taxonomy ‘tools of empire.’

Botanical nomenclature, based in Latin, allowed a particular plant to be distinguished from all other plants over large units of space and time. ‘Botanical conflicts’ can here be understood through the epistemological hierarchies underpinning botanical taxonomy, insofar as imperial science sought to render scientific principles as universal and objective, in doing so suppressing the ‘Babel’ of local naming practices and abstracting plant life from its local ecology; as such erasing what Schiebinger names the ‘biogeography’ of plants.

By and large, imperial science (what we might call a ‘monoculture of knowledge’) excluded other, ‘minor’ histories and systems of knowledge (’ecologies of knowledges’), as well as modes of being-in-the-world that are not premised upon the value, profitability and usefulness of plants that underpins the vampiric logic of capitalism towards nature. From the perspective of today’s planetary crises, these other systems might allow us to catch glimpses of [...] ‘alternative, liveable relationalities’ that can ‘hopefully [contribute] to other possible worlds in the making.’

Oak and Ivory - The Appendix

Notes for Main story: Here

Location - This story is set in modern day Bar Harbor, Maine. Maine didn’t secede from the commonwealth of Massachusetts until 1820. And the village was called Eden until the town was renamed Bar Harbor in 1918. I’ve visited before, MANY years ago, and the main thing I remembered was the sound of the pebble beach

Systema Naturae - a major work by Swedish botanist, naturalist, and physician Carl Linnaeus from where the beginnings of taxonomy began. 

Vermes - now obsolete, but literally “worms” and was used for all non-arthropod invertebrate animals, including asteria rubens or the common starfish

6-5-4 or Ship, Captain, Crew - a dice game! The basic version is that 5 dice are rolled over three rolls, and the goal is to get a 6-5-4 in sequence  (so you can’t get the 4 before you get the 6), in order for the remaining two dice rolls to count for the cargo.

Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy - a real recipe book from the 1700s! By Hannah Glasse, though at the time women would sometimes author their books as “a Lady.” It was first published in 1747. 

John’s Meals -  I took reference from two youtube videos by a channel called Townsends. The first one is for the fried steak and the recipe is right out of the recipe book above. The second one is for the French beans ragout, though I will warn in advance video 2 has an ad stacked in it. Still very informational !

Steaks Fried in Ale

French Beans in a Ragout

Carving into Bone, Ivory, Tusks, etc. this is called scrimshaw and it was prominent in whaling vessels until the ban on commercial whaling in 1986. The artisans were called scrimshanders. There are scrimshaw violins in existence. 

And as always Music!

Violin and Cello vibes:  Alasdair Frasier and Natalie Haas - Grand Etang/Hull’s Reel - YouTube

Other random google searches, just for fun so you know how wild my brain is: when is hurricane season? When is a good time to sail across the Atlantic East to West? What is dogwatch? Sailor watch shifts. When were beanies invented? Maine summer harvest. When was commercial whaling banned. Starfish regeneration studies. Musical instruments of the 1700s. How long have we been lighting birthday candles?  Birthdays in the age of sail. 

time to learn you some fruit facts... specially, why the forbidden fruit is a BANANA

ok,so...  the Bible specifically, the Vulgate Bible, which united the older Hebrew and Greek texts into a cohesive Latin text. this one, Saint Jerome's baby, is *the* Latin that the Gutenburg Bible was transcribed from, so you know it's heckin popular read for the world

anyways, when Jerome translated from Hebrew to Latin, he went from peri (generic word for fruit) to malum when it came to describing the forbidden fruit. while you *can* translate malum to apple- which incidentally is why the Renaissance artists painted so many dang apples, which helped cement the apple imagery into pop culture- all thanks to Jerome’s incredibly easy cheesy 'bad apple' pun  (malus=bad, Malus pumila=apple)

- malum can refer to any fleshy seed-bearing fruit. so it's totes not a apple, guyz, it’s a saint trolling us from the afterlife, apples didn't even grow in the middle east at that time but the first cultivated fruits- bananas and figs* did! and they are plenty fleshy!

and guess what? the scientific name for bananas- they get two, a really old greek pun and one from yo boi Linnaeus- are Musa sapentium (basically that's Wise Wisdom Banana, or Muse of the Wise) and Musa paradisim (Banana of Paradise). Musa is also derived from the arabic word mauz, which is- get this- used to describe the fruit of heaven and also means banana.

in the Koran, the forbidden fruit tree is called the talh, which is the 'tree of paradise' or (you guessed it) 'banana tree'. the talh is also described as weird looking, with "fruit piled above each other in extended shade, whose season is not limited" what does that sound like again? oh yeah

A BANANA TREE, which has multigenerational growing so you never EVER run out of nannery-goodness YUM it’s BANANAS how word play across several languages always circle back to this fleshy fruit anyways thanks for coming to my very long TED talk where i explain how it is technically possible that adam and eve got kicked out for deepthroating bananas in the garden of eden — *sidenote about figs- bananas have been considered interchangable with figs throughout history (blame Alexander the Great and his shitty tastebuds) so even when you translate directly from Hebrew, the 'fig of eve' could still mean a banana! also, if fig=banana, wearing fig-leaves also makes waaaay more sense. banana leaves fibers are used for making cloth.

(also adam would probably prefer a bigger crotch leaf, just saying)

Carl Linnaeus thought that all species originated from a single island, the only piece of dry land in the primaeval sea. This original island contained everything in a nutshell - all habitats and the “parents” of all living things. It was the Garden Eden, the ark before the deluge, it was the “egg” from which all life sprang.

Thursday, I collected my three weeks of antibiotics and I was amazed how quickly they started working. I’m still not hungry and it’s a bit painful to eat; however, there are definite signs that all is improving. Hopefully I’ve also lost a few of those kilos I wanted to loose.

Most of the team was back at work Friday and of course we finished at 13.00. I met Susie and Luis for lunch in Duke of York Square. Then I headed home for a few hours before heading back into town to 606 Club to list to Kat Eaton. I always enjoy my evenings at 606 with Maarten, Mark, Mike and Mike.

I worked this weekend and started auditing our seed bank material.

Thankfully the antibiotics are kicking in and I’m starting to feel alive again. I was hungry for the first time in over three weeks today.

I’ve been very good about studying French for an hour to an hour and a half every day...I hope I can keep that going. I also have time to do some non-book club reading so I’m going to read Lawrence in Arabia by Scott Anderson. It’s been a while since I’ve read a good book about adventures in that part of the world. I like to read Wilfred Thesinger, and I have his book The Marsh Arabs in my to read pile.

Bufo

Bufo

This article is about toads. For the Finnish company, see Bufo (company). Bufo is a large genus of about 150 species of true toads in the amphibian family Bufonidae. Bufo is a Latin word for toad. Description True toads have in common stocky figures and short legs, which make them relatively poor jumpers. As with all members of the family Bufonidae, they lack a tail and teeth, and they have horizontal pupils. Their dry skin is thick and warty. Western toad (Bufo boreas) Behind their eyes, Bufo species have wart-like structures, the parotoid glands. These glands distinguish the true toads from all other tailless amphibians. They secrete a fatty, white poisonous substance which acts as a deterrent to predators. Ordinary, handling of toads is not dangerous, and does not cause warts in contradiction to folk beliefs. The poison of most if not all toads contains bufotoxin; the poison of the Colorado River toad (Bufo alvarius) is a potent hallucinogen containing 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin. The poison's psychoactive effects are said to have been known to pre-Columbian Native Americans. Toads can also inflate their bodies when threatened. Males are usually smaller than females and possess a Bidder's organ, an incomplete ovary. The adult male of many species shows a dark throat. Breeding males have dark nuptial pads on their thumbs. Distribution This is a truly cosmopolitan genus, able to live under adverse conditions, and occurring around the world except in the Arctic and Antarctic, Madagascar, Australia (with the exception of the introduced cane toad), and New Guinea and Oceania. Two species are found in the British Isles: the common toad (Bufo bufo), and the natterjack toad, (Bufo calamita). The former is found almost everywhere in Great Britain, but not in Ireland. The natterjack, which differs in its shorter limbs with nearly free toes (which are so short, the toad never hops but proceeds in a running gait) and in usually possessing orange or red warts, green eyes, and a pale-yellow line along the middle of the back, is local in England, the south-west of Scotland, and the west of Ireland. It is further remarkable for the very loud croak of the males, produced by a large vocal bladder on the throat which, when inflated, is larger than the head. Psychoactive properties Several species of Bufo toads produce poison with psychoactive properties. The poison of one species (Bufo alvarius) contains both 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin, while some others contain only bufotenin. Author Lee B. Croft, in his satiric novel, Toadies: The Explanation of Toxicomania in American Society, has coined the word "bufoglossation" to describe the deliberate licking of Bufo toads for hallucinogenic purposes, but psychoactive substance information site Erowid warns against such use because of the cardiotoxins (bufadienolides) included in the toads' poison. Groups Species in this genus can be quite different, which has led to a recent recommendation in the Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History to split the genus, a recommendation that has been rejected (in part) by many taxonomists (see Pauly et al., 2004, Evolution 58: 2517–2535; Pauly et al., 2009, Herpetologica 65:115-128). Instead, the relationships between the different species are formalized by categorizing them into subgenera, such as Anaxyrus and Rhinella. Species Colorado River Toad (Bufo alvarius) Bufo is a large group, and it is usually divided into several subgenera. Frost et al. (2006) removed most of the species of former Bufo to other genera and restricted the name Bufo to members of the Bufo bufo group of earlier authors. However, other authors continue to recognize these subgroups of Bufo as subgenera. Rhinella is composed of a combination of Rhamphophryne and Chaunus (two subgroups of Bufo in the broad sense). Rhinella is recognized as a distinct genus by some, although other herpetologists disagree and maintain these species as a subgenus within Bufo. Here the species of Rhinella are treated in a separate page (where they may be considered a separate genus or as a subgenus of Bufo). Main article: Anaxyrus Some authors recognize the Genus, Anaxyrus, as a subgenus of the Genus, Bufo. Anaxyrus contains 22 species found in North and Central America including the common American toad, A. americanus. Composed of 12 species, this subgenus is found in temperate Eurasia and Japan south to North Africa, the Middle East, northeastern Myanmar, and northern Vietnam. Binomial name and author Common name Bufo aspinius (Yang, Liu, and Rao, 1996) Bufo bankorensis Barbour, 1908 Central Formosa toad, Bankor toad Bufo bufo (Linnaeus, 1758) Common toad, European toad Bufo gargarizans Cantor, 1842 Chusan Island toad, Asiatic toad Bufo japonicus Temminck and Schlegel, 1838 Japanese toad Bufo kabischi Herrmann and Kühnel, 1997 Bufo minshanicus Stejneger, 1926 Gansu toad, Minshan toad Bufo tibetanus Zarevskij, 1926 Tibetan toad Bufo torrenticola Matsui, 1976 Honshū toad, Japanese stream toad Bufo tuberculatus Zarevskij, 1926 Qinghai Lake toad, Round-warted toad Bufo verrucosissimus (Pallas, 1814) Caucasian toad Bufo wolongensis Herrmann & Kühnel, 1997 a fossil genus, Bufo linquensis lived during Miocene of China. This assemblage of 23 species remained outside the main groups. Frost et al. denoted the species in this group as polyphyletic by placing "Bufo" in quotation marks. Presumably, as these taxa are studied, they will be allocated to one or another of the existing groups.

OC IN FIFTEEN OR FEWER TAG

slowly trying to catch up on stuff i've been tagged in lmao

anyway!! i was tagged by @jezifster aaand someone else i think??? oops. my brain is blank rn.

Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!

ANYWAY doing this for eden bc of course i am, he is my special man. various lines of dialogue he's said in shit i've written for him:

"Daddy dearest did not like annoying little upstarts who do not know their place... so he made sure to show me mine."

"I was just making sure you did not come out dangerously deformed this time. You’re no use to me if you die after five minutes."

"You couldn’t bite through the skin of an apple without help."

"Did you need something? I seem to have an annoying gnat in my ear distracting me from my work."

"I did not realize a goddess could be such a worthless coward."

"My friend, I think we are traveling with idiots."

"You are not stupid, don't say that. You simply lack practice. I will help you."

"That was incredible! ... For your first spell, I mean. You need more practice. But it was a good start."

"Did you know that our pupils dilate up to 50% when looking at something we like? I... I thought that was interesting."

"My poor friend here was born with glass bones and paper skin! You must have pity for her. She is simply too frail for labor."

"Are you usually this stupid? Or are you just like that for me?"

"I have not been sleeping well... but, ah, I will be fine. Too much work to do."

"The only place Abdiel Linnaeus should be is hell."

"That's Doctor Linnaeus to you, you fucking ingrate."

"No, the doctorate is not fucking for show, you imbecile. I worked hard to get here, and you will show me respect."
