errors, butterflies, and pansies

[incandescens]

Fairly busy day, but did at least get a lot of stuff sorted.

While it is a noble, virtuous, and praiseworthy thing to discover that there is an error in how we have been doing some mapping and to vow to resolve it, it is (a) not entertaining to have to do it, and (b) highly irritating to think that we have made a mistake in what we previously did. However much one technically realises that mistakes can be made, that no doubt we have made mistakes, and that we learn by acknowledging mistakes and accepting them and moving on, there is always that inner part which wants to scream, "HOW DARE YOU SAY I GOT IT WRONG?"

Inner parts are annoying.

On a more vibrant pink-and-orange note:

What is 'moonish light'?

What we have instead of moonlight, down in the Neath: the uncertain glow from phosphorescent things in the cavern roof. Possibly jewels, possibly very large glowing insects. Frankly it'd be nicer if they were jewels.

*pats understandingly*
*cheers the quilt, which looks like those are some dangerous butterflies!*

[incandescens]

Thank you! And thank you for the understanding.

(Trained killer butterflies, glowing with the power of alchemy! Or possibly not.)

(There was a popular spell in the Exalted RPG known as "Death Of Obsidian Butterflies", which sent a swarm of black butterflies at the target. They turned into obsidian when they hit him. Slicey dicey.)

I think there are some WoW spells that work a little like that...

[incandescens]

It probably speaks to some fundamental human need, or something like that.

[archangelbeth]

Very likely! Everyone needs slicey-dicey insects to hurl at their enemies!

Especially Kyriotates of Jordi. ;)

Vibrant indeed when seen in all its finished glory. I seem to recall someone saying how 70s it looks. How very true. But where would one put it in a 21st century house? The greys and beiges and maroons would have a fit in proximity to that day-glo pink and orange.

[incandescens]

True, alas. But I just couldn't resist the fabric and the combinations.

I love that quilt! It's so vibrant, it begs to be a wall hanging.

There is death-by-butterflies in FRINGE.

Thank you very much! :)
