The Elements And Their Correspondences

tbh having followers here is so weird bc they don’t interact with you or talk to you at all they just……stare at your breakdowns and say mood

This shocked me.

As a singer and musician who has a masters degree, I was shocked by this! I don’t think that many of you fully grasp what V was talking about with the chickens at the end of the the Run Ep. 29-Behind the Scenes.

He’s speaking about where on the piano… what NOTE the chickens are hitting when they cry!  Just by listening, he’s guessing what notes their hitting.

AND HE GETS IT RIGHT!

He’s talking about solfege… like in the song from Sound of Music: Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do, singing a scale.  Middle C on the piano is C4, the fourth octave.  So when he says the 6th Octave, that means 2 Octaves above the fourth which would be High C.  If he’s starting on C being Do… then 6th Octave Mi would be a high E… WHICH WHEN I CHECKED IS ACTUALLY WHAT SOME OF THE HIGHER NOTES WERE THAT THE CHICKENS WERE CRYING!  Fifth Octave Sol would be a G sitting at the top of the staff in Trebel Clef (if going by this same thinking) and is only slightly lower than some of the lower pitches the chickens were crying.

Do you realize how good of an ear you have to have to guess that!?  Do you know that there are college music students who can’t figure out what the pitch is just by listening?  DO YOUR REALIZE HOW FRICKIN SMART THIS BOY IT!?!?!?!  TO BE GUESSING THE NOTES THE CHICKENS ARE SINGING!??!!

witches weeds - jimsonweed datura stramonium, hemlock conium maculatum, enchanter’s nightshade circaea lutetiana, deadly nightshade atropa belladona, henbane hyoscyamus niger, moonflower datura innoxia, wolsfbane aconitum napellus

i’ve come across the concept of witches weeds a few times in my botanical wanderings, above are a few of my favorites. a word of warning - every plant above except for enchanter’s nightshade are poisonous plants. please do not go foraging for these plants, some of them can even create symptoms just by touching or breathing in near the plant.

This beautiful, bright, spiral galaxy is Messier 64, often called the Black Eye Galaxy or the Sleeping Beauty Galaxy for its heavy-lidded appearance in telescopic views. M64 is about 17 million light-years distant in the otherwise well-groomed northern constellation Coma Berenices. In fact, the Red Eye Galaxy might also be an appropriate moniker in this colorful composition of narrow and wideband images. The enormous dust clouds obscuring the near-side of M64’s central region are laced with the telltale reddish glow of hydrogen associated with star forming regions. But they are not this galaxy’s only peculiar feature. Observations show that M64 is actually composed of two concentric, counter-rotating systems. While all the stars in M64 rotate in the same direction as the interstellar gas in the galaxy’s central region, gas in the outer regions, extending to about 40,000 light-years, rotates in the opposite direction. The dusty eye and bizarre rotation is likely the result of a billion year old merger of two different galaxies.
