Ok, But, Have You Considered, Nana Has Two Parents.

Ok, but, have you considered, Nana has two parents.

It is absolutely possible for two Arcobaleno to be Tsuna’s grandparents. You could have it be a genuine relationship, a one night stand, an “Unholy spawn of Flame, how happen?”

Or even better, one Arcobaleno grandparent, and one great grandparent?

Okay but headcanons for each of the Acrobaleno as Tsuna's grandparent on Nana's side? I loved your reply about Reborn as.

ALL:

--In all of these, in varying ways, Iemitsu might have Tsuna with Nana, but he sure as hell doesn’t get away with his bullshit. None of them will have it, and all of them have different Consequences™ for him trying it. 

All are painful. All are effective. 

--Nana? Nana was taught to act a certain way but she’s a Boss Ass Bitch™ and the world is never ready for it, it’s great

--Tsuna will be taught to ALSO be a Bad Ass and no one can tell me he won’t. That’s a baby Sky with a grandparent that is the strongest Flame of that kind’s user, and all the instincts that come with that especially when the kid if actually of their blood. He’s gonna be a tiny little bad ass in one form or the other.  

yes, even Skull. Fite me.

FON:

--This means that Tsuna has Hibari blood in him, as does Nana. DO YOU KNOW HOW FUNNY THAT IS TO ME.

--He grows up around Kyouya. Kyouya  claims him as a tiny little toddler looking at tiny bby in his Aunt’s arms, and he will literally fight anybody over him, that’s his tiny sky fuck off.

--Tsuna does in fact have the Hibari FITE ME instinct, it’s just so unexpected, because he’s a Hibari that picks his battles and it shows. That his Grandfather taught him to fight??

--Tsuna is very very good at hand to hand, is an absolute mismatched mess of fighting that flows so well together it looks like a single style. Fon is very proud. Tsuna is having fun. Kyouya thinks this is amazing cause it makes him unpredictable in a conventional sense and he loves it. 

--He has Fon’s ever present calm. It gives Reborn the jitters cause he recognizes it but can’t place where, and he has a feeling he’s fucked up somewhere but can’t place how.

VERDE:

--Verde is kinda distant, but he pays a hell of a lot of attention. Just because he’s not there often doesn’t mean he isn’t watching. 

--He makes it a mission to FUCK UP Vongola Ninth for trying to seal his baby grandson. He succeeds.

--Okay, but Genius! Tsuna???? I’m living.

-- Spanner and Shoichi losing their entire minds over him. ALSO BONDED ELEMENTS IN THIS AU?????? P L S. 

--Tsuna has this bad habit of pulling things apart and putting them back together to see how they work, but he accidentally charges them with Sky Flames and it has wild effects that everyone (himself, Spanner, Shoichi, and Verde and later on maybe Gokudera) are INTERESTED IN. 

COLLONELLO

--this immediately makes Lal Grandmother, and she’ll argue it, but she loves Tsuna dearly, and absolutely melts when he calls her it, not that it shows.

--this means Tsuna grows up going to Mafia Land, and running into Skull and I love that immensely. 

---Collonello is teaching him firearms and army survival shit and living his best life. (Lal is 100% helping and calling it ‘making sure you dont fuck it up and get him killed’) 

---Tsuna loves Skull, and her motorcycle and wants to learn i m m e n s e l y. Collonello is kinda jealous and retaliates by teaching Tsuna to drive a tank. 

--His childhood is adventurous and rough and tumble and he loves it. 

--He’s so well versed in Mafia at this point, and the island loves him. Reborn can’t pull his thing in this au, cause the guards would laugh and wave him in and Tsuna would rock it anyway, including the cannon event Reborn made Tsuna attempt. 

VIPER

--OKAY BUT PLS VIPER TEACHING TINY TSUNA TO COUNT WITH MONEY --cries in oh no thats cute fuck---

--Tsuna growing up with very eccentric assassins cause Varia family is very important and they CANT not check out their Mist’s grandson okay-

--oh shit that’s a tiny primo what the fuck

--what the fuck kinda protections are THESE, fuck off that’s NOT quality 

--Varia brawls drop to zero when Tsuna is sleeping or Xanxus will get PISSED, as will Viper and Tsuna will cry and everyone hates that even if they dont say it. 

--Xanxus loves him very much, he’s an OLDER BROTHER NOW thats HIS Tiny Idiot, who reaching for his flames and gave him a heart attack by grabbing them with tiny pudgy toddler fingers and then didnt get burned okay,

Skull

--wanna see Skull actually truly rage?? Touch his family. Go ahead. Sign that death warrant.

--Tsuna is a tiny little grease monkey mechanic having the time of his life

--Tsuna is able to take apart and put together engines with his eyes closed

--He is totally an adrenaline junkie and he loves stunt driving with his whole heart

---He has accidentally, and then later on purpose, enhanced Skull’s bikes and things with Sky Flames

-- He grows up with Skull’s unbiased Flame use thing, so he does....a lot of shit most Skies would be like “Bitch what the FUCK” about. Cause Skull has some info, but is also aware of what caging the ‘belief’ factor of Flames will do, cause he can do shit with his Flames that made Reborn and the others s t o p, so he never stops Tsuna from experimenting.

--Tsuna is therefore a tiny Flame monster, ESPECIALLY when he figures out Sky  Flames are actually EVERY OTHER flame added together and he can in fact pull them apart if he concentrates. 

Wait, are we counting shades or separate colors? Because, uh, I see a lot of different shades, more than 39. I do tend to dislike most yellows though. It is an absolute pain to find one I like, most of them are just, no.

25% of the people have a 4th cone and see colors as they are

Given the sudden interest for the color of dresses and vision, here some of the fascinating findings we did recently.

The color nuances we see depend on the number and distribution of cones (=color receptors) in our eye. You can check this rainbow: how many color nuances do you count?

You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.

You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green and red area). You enjoy different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is trichromat.

You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple/blue, green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is tetrachromat.

You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway :)

It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter the background light ;)

Wait, wait! Bodies replace cells all the time. If Tsuna of the Bullshit Sky Flame is left alone with his Mists, can he use a Sun Flame to encourage Chrome’s body to replace her organs itself? Tsuna trembling as he apologizes and apologizes and apologizes that his future self was so weak. Him refusing to go to Japan, on the off-chance that something can be done. Eventually meeting up with the other Guardians and baffling everyone by clinging to Chrome and Mukuro.

My last thingamajig from discord, I don’t think I posted this over here yet?? Hopefully not. It’s just another dead-end idea I had for a future arc AU.  Ends right in the middle of the start of a conversation too lol, I think I got derailed talking about some other headcanon. It was probably hec’s fault. Anyway, might continue it one day, might not, who knows, definitely not me.

-0-

What if the whole future plot was never a thing? What if Lambo’s bazooka was just malfunctioning again, dropped on Tsuna, and took him to the future where he wakes up in his future self’s coffin? And doesn’t return him after five minutes?

“You Whose Cities Are Ruined Mounds” (CT 23 16 i 13-16)

While doing some research on the Mesopotamian goddess Belet-Ṣeri, I came across this well-preserved Akkadian incantation for someone who “constantly sees dead people.”  Ereškigal is queen of the Netherworld, and Ningeštinanna/Belet-Ṣeri is her (female) scribe.  I am not familiar with “Abatu the Queen,” but her name literally means “to destroy,” so presumably she was another goddess associated with death.

…

Incantation:

Dead people, why do you encounter me—you whose cities are ruined mounds, you who are bones? I do not go to Kutha, the assembly of ghosts.  Why do you constantly chase me? You are adjured by Abatu the Queen, by Ereškigal the Queen, by Ningeštinanna the Scribe of the Gods, whose stylus is lapis and carnelian.

Recitation (to be used when) one continually sees dead persons.

(The description of the ritual follows, but is somewhat broken.  It involves pouring a ritual liquid into a western-facing pit while reciting the incantation.)

“Accidental DomTop Acquisition” is possibly one of the best tags of all time. Thank you, Ao3 authors, for bringing this into my life.

Actually super helpful so that I can visualize the dang things, and am in awe of the time taken to make the colors match, but the lighter colors are hard to read. Cream is the hardest. That said, mine now, suckers.

Color Terms You Didn’t Learn in Chinese Class

In your Chinese studies you’ve probably learned: 红色、橙色、黄色、绿色、蓝色、紫色、灰色、白色、黑色、咖啡色、粉红色

But there are so many beautiful colors out there! Let’s learn some more. These are color terms I’ve come across outside Chinese class.

In general you can indicate a light shade with 浅 and a dark shade with 深. I have also seen 墨 for dark and 淡 for light, but when I Googled various color terms, there were more results for 浅 and 深 than 淡 and 墨.

I spent way too much time messing with HTML to color the text to match (except for the shades of white).

褐色 hèsè - brown

橘黄色 júhuángsè - orange

奶油色 nǎiyóusè - cream

金黄色 jīnhuángsè - gold color

朱红色 zhūhóngsè - vermilion

米色 mǐsè - beige

棕色 zōngsè - brown

青色 qīngsè - cyan / blue-green

灰白 huībái - light gray / ash-colored

蔚蓝 wèilán - azure / sky blue

纯白 chúnbái - pure white

雪白 xuěbái - snow white

洁白 jiébái - spotlessly white / pure white

漆黑 qīhēi - pitch-black

铜色 tóngsè - copper

乌黑 wūhēi - jet-black / dark

靛色 diànsè - indigo (color)

金色 jīnsè - golden / gold (color)

银色 yínsè - silver (color)

Here are some single characters I’ve seen as well. Some of these are commonly used in names, like 彤 and 丹.

彤 tóng - red

丹 dān - red / pellet / powder / cinnabar

缇 tí - orange-red silk / orange-red colored

赤 chì - red / scarlet / bare / naked

碧 bì - green jade / bluish green / blue / jade

翠 cuì - bluish-green / green jade

皓 hào - bright / luminous / white (esp. bright white teeth of youth or white hair of old age)

颢 hào - bright / white

玄 xuán - black / mysterious

彤, 丹, and 缇 are all described as a red-orange color. I’m not really sure of the difference, so I just made them all the same shade. I’m also unclear on exact distinction between 褐色 and 棕色. Image search results certainly suggest that they are used differently. Not sure how 咖啡色 fits in either.

I stumbled across this giant Wikipedia table with many beautiful colors that you can check out to learn more!
