She Is A Cutie Pie And Yes She Is Silly!

She is a cutie pie and yes she is silly!

If I may, Alfreed for the bingo game? 🌸👀

Cutie pie!

and while we're at it. I've always wondered what Shapur's coat of arms symbolizes. when I first saw it I kind of thought of a lily but then I kind of thought that lilies are always represented differently on a coat of arms and then dismissed the idea.

then I thought it might represent a rose. but when I did some research I found out that especially in the Middle Ages and on coats of arms the rose was always depicted with five petals.

It was thus modeled on the wild rose. Unfortunately, Shapur's crest only has four "petals" (if it is meant to represent a flower at all).

But then I realized that Persian wild roses look completely different from the roses that are usually known. It originally comes from the Orient. This rose grows there in nature in steppe-like areas of Iran and surrounding countries.

The red center spot of its sun-yellow flowers is particularly striking in this type of rose. They are more reminiscent of a hibiscus flower.

To be honest I don't know exactly which flower is depicted on Shapur's coat of arms (I don't quite understand the 8 in the coat of arms either. Maybe someone has a theory).

in any case, I have not found anything closer to the meaning of the Persian rose. probably it is identical to the meaning of the well-known rose and that would be love.

However, I then found out that the hibiscus does not only grow in Hawaii but also in China

it is particularly at home in Asia and is also found in parts of North Africa.

Anyway, I thought that geographically it wouldn't be a big deal and Pars also borders on Sindurah and Turk and Turan and Shapur's country could possibly be in the Turan/Turk border area. so wouldn't it be so crazy to think that a hibiscus flower can also grow in Pars.

In addition, in some cultures, the hibiscus represents family (I firmly believe that Shapur family is very important). in China the flower stands for glory and in Hawaii it stands for splendor and symbolizes something royal (which I think would fit since the second king of the Sassadin and founder of the New Persian Empire was Shapur I.

so crazy and thinking around ten corners.

I just wanted to get my mind off my head as Sam's crest just popped up here and my mind was just racing through my mind.

Don’t know if all of this makes sense but feel free to discuss this.

Here's Sam's crest. (These are actually all still posted here on the official site for the anime.) The design feels appropriate for the Marzban renowned for skill in castle defence, as it reminds me of both a shield and a closed door/gate. At some point I'll try to do some research into what the botanical element could be and whether that might mean something, too.

Send me a character name and I'll fill the character bingo for them!

“The First Bell rings for Chaos, the Second for Order.

The Third Bell rings for Truth, the Fourth rings for the Oath.

The sound of the bells shall reverberate, break the heavens like dawn over the mountains.

One day shall the promise be fulfilled, and only then true tomorrow will arrive.”

Not entirely satisfied with this, just throwing things at the wall lest I forget later. I haven't even decided on the number of bells, and there probably should be a couple lines in-between, telling the tale of how the fourth bell was never finished or smth to symbolize the broken oath. But ah well, in the meantime have this.
