I actually rather like the simplicity of this piece already - if only I could just leave it like this 😂 A larger piece, really enjoying the colder, desaturated colours.

My only experience ever actually SEEING if someone had me blocked was on a side blog, they had art i wanted to rb but no matter what I couldn't rb it to that side blog, but it went to my main no problem, so I assume they had my side blog blocked but not my main lmao

1, 3, and 54 for that writer ask game?

HIII JAY BESTIE JAY

Do you prefer writing one-shots or multi-chaptered fics?

tough question, but i'd have to say multi-chap because being able to build up drama over a longer course of time is saurrrr satisfying. shouts out oneshots for being manifestations of my insanity tho <3

3. Describe the creative process of writing a chapter/fic

recieve vision from god, mull it over for like a week whilst developing very specific snippets of dialogue and action, jot it down at the beginning of the doc, write the whole ass thing, post it polished and completed, profit

54. What’s your favorite part about the fanfiction writing process?

definitely when i get to write the things that inspired me to make the fic. it's like self-payoff, i get to see the thing i came for and its the best <3

thank you jay bestie jay for the ask love you man

#ask game #the pom! signal #all these asks for a fandom you're not even in #shouts out rockdove-ridge for indulging me

Some Pet Dog Names from Ancient Greece

When the hound has caught the hare, or been otherwise victorious in the course, you should […] pat him with your hand and praise him, kissing his head, and stroking his ears, and speaking to him by name […] for, like men of generous spirit, they love to be praised; and the dog, if not quite tired out [from the hunt] will come up with joy to caress you. (Arrian, On Coursing, XVIII Pg 116 trans. William Dansey)

As many dogs were hunting hounds or guard dogs in Ancient Greece, it followed that the naming convention was dependant on psychology; to name the dog something strong or skilful was to boast of the animals’ superiority to others of its breed, just as it reflected on the owner. There are some well known dogs in Ancient Greek history that many are aware of, namely Cerberus, Odysseus’ faithful dog Argos, and Alexander the Great named a city after his dog Peritas. We are lucky to have two lists of excellent dog names from authors Xenophon and Ovid.

From Xenophon (~ 430 - 355 BC), in his treaties on Hunting, we have the below list:

Give the hounds short names, so as to be able to call to them easily. The following are the right sort: Psyche, Thymus, Porpax, Styrax, Lonchê (Lance), Lochus, Phrura, Phylax (Sentinel/Guardian), Taxis, Xiphon, Phonax, Phlegon, Alcê (Stout), Teuchon, Hyleus, Medas (Crafty), Porthon, Sperchon (Bustler/Hasty), Orgê, Bremon, Hybris, Thallon (Vigorous), Rhomê, Antheus (Blossom), Hebe, Getheus, Chara (Jolly/Ecstasy), Leusson, Augo (Bright), Polys, Bia, Stichon, Spudê, Bryas, Oenas (Blueskin), Sterrus, Craugê, Caenon, Tyrbas, Sthenon, Aether, Actis, Aechmê, Noes (Counsellor), Gnomê, Stibon, Hormê (Impetus). (Xenophon Kynegetikos On Hunting 7.5)

A kind person on Reddit suggested these names could also translate as:

Psyche = Psyche / Spirit

Thymus = Pluck

Porpax = Buckler

Styrax = Spigot

Lonche = Lance

Lochus = Lurcher

Phrura = Watch

Phylax = Keeper

Taxis = Brigade

Xiphon = Fencer

Phonax = Butcher

Phlegon = Blazer

Alce = Prowess

Teuchon = Craftsman

Hyleus = Foster

Medas = Counsellor

Porthon = Spoiler

Sperchon = Hurry

Orge = Fury

Bremon = Growler

Hybris = Riot / Insolence

Thallon = Bloomer

Rhome = Rome / Mighty

Antheus = Blossom

Hebe = Hebe / Youth (Young’n)

Getheus = Hilary / Happy

Chara = Jollity

Leusson = Glazer

Augo = Eyesbright

Polys = Much

Bia = Force

Stichon = Trooper

Spude = Bustle

Bryas = Bubbler

Oenas = Rockdove

Sterrus = Stubborn

Crauge = Yelp

Caenon = Killer

Tyrbas = Strongboy / Riot

Sthenon = Sky

Aether = Sunbeam

Actis = Bodkin

Aechme = Wistful

Noes = Gnome

And from Ovid (~ 43 BC - 17 AD), in his Metamorphosis, of the dogs that attacked their master Actaeon, we have:

First ‘Black-foot’, Melampus, and keen-scented Ichnobates, ‘Tracker’, signal him with baying, Ichnobates out of Crete, Melampus, Sparta. Then others rush at him swift as the wind, ‘Greedy’, Pamphagus, Dorceus, ‘Gazelle’, Oribasos, ‘Mountaineer’, all out of Arcadia: powerful ‘Deerslayer’, Nebrophonos, savage Theron, ‘Whirlwind’, and Laelape, ‘Hunter’. Then swift-footed Pterelas, ‘Wings’, and trail-scenting Agre, ‘Chaser’, fierce Hylaeus, ‘Woody’, lately gored by a boar, the wolf-born Nape, ‘Valley’, Poemenis, the trusty ‘Shepherd’, and Harpyia, ‘Snatcher’, with her two pups. There is thin-flanked Sicyonian Ladon, ‘Catcher’, Dromas, ‘Runner’, ‘Grinder’, Canache, Sticte ‘Spot’, Tigris ‘Tigress’, Alce, ‘Strong’, and white-haired Leucon, ‘Whitey’, and black-haired Asbolus, ‘Soot’. Lacon, ‘Spartan’, follows them, a dog well known for his strength, and strong-running Aëllo, ‘Storm’. Then Thoos, ‘Swift’, and speedy Lycisce, ‘Wolf’, with her brother Cyprius ‘Cyprian’. Next ‘Grasper’, Harpalos, with a distinguishing mark of white, in the centre of his black forehead, ‘Black’, Melaneus, and Lachne, ‘Shaggy’, with hairy pelt, Labros, ‘Fury’, and Argiodus, ‘White-tooth’, born of a Cretan sire and Spartan dam, keen-voiced Hylactor, ‘Barker’ […] First ‘Black-hair’, Melanchaetes, wounds his back, then ‘Killer’, Theridamas, and Oresitrophos, the ‘Climber’, clings to his shoulder. (Ovid Metamorphoses III 206-233 trans. A S Kline)

Theoi has Brookes More’s translation which offers a few English variations on the names.

A few fun ideas to keep in mind if looking to name a new pet in Ancient Greek style.

For I have myself bred up a hound whose eyes are the greyest of grey; a swift, hard-working, courageous, sound-footed dog[…]. He is most gentle, and kindly-affectioned […] as soon as he catches sight of me, showing symptoms of joy, and again trotting on before me. […] He is the constant companion of whichever may be sick; and if he has not seen either of us for only a short time, he jumps up repeatedly by way of salutation, and barks with joy as a greeting. (Arrian, On Coursing, V Pg 78-80 trans. William Dansey)

orchid, cactus, edelweiss!

orchid ⇢ what’s a song you consider to be perfect?

maxwell's silver hammer by the beatles. paul was right to torture the others by recording it over and over until it was perfect

cactus ⇢ something you’re currently learning (about)?

learning how clay works and trying to get better at making things out of it :-) made a few pins for friends this christmas

edelweiss ⇢ how’d you think of your url/username? what’s it associated with to you?

i was sick of having fandom urls and changing them all the time so i tried to think of like, a non fandom interest that i knew i would maintain and went from there. i looove pigeons and during the summer i spend a ridiculous amount of time feeding pigeons in the parks and botanics i think theyre are silliest of gods creatures and i truly hope to have some of my own some day. i tried so many range of pigeon breed/names like rockdove woodpigeon etc and it just ended up being commonpigeon that was free

#thank you!!!

Good morning. 🕊🕊🕊

It stormed last night. At about one in the morning, I heard Ben bark, so I got up and opened the bedroom door. Of course, Ben and Charlie were both there, they get scared when it thunders. I laid back down. Ben crawled under the bed, and Charlie flopped down wherever, and we all went back to sleep. Until about 06:30 when Charlie decided it was time to get up.

I can't exactly emphasize with Ben and Charlie, but it seems like I can come close. Or perhaps it's just compassion. Either way, they are both good decent states of mind, worthy of practicing in public.

Oh, f you don't already know, Ben and Charlie are dogs.

"You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings." - Jane Goodall

I'm still in the realm of pastels and seeing how my colour pencil skills transfer - both similar and very different! I do love how opaque and vibrant the pastels are.

I was not enjoying the paper I chose for the colour pencil pigeon kiss so I decided to do a smaller version of it in pastel.

Really liking where it is going so far (except for this terrible photo, taken at night, because I always forget to take a photo during the day...)
