More Evidence of How Cool Minekura Is

So I was doing research on flower symbolism for a school project, and I came across some interesting information.  There is a type of flower called a "snowdrop" and, unlike other most of the other flowers I came across in my research that had multiple meanings, this one only had one recognized symbolism: hope.

And here I'd thought the Snowdrop arc ( Read more... )

well, i did fashion research for Sanzo's bride outfit, and Goku's white ST outfit elements came up surprisingly a lot. his costume appears to me to be a combination of traditional Monkey King elements (like the curled diadem, the animal skin around his waist, and the heart protecting mirror), medieval Chinese/Japanese armor (the shoulder guards and chest piece are actual styles/shapes of Chinese armor, the collar is traditional Chinese, and loin girders/baggy pants were common with samurai), and modern/fantasy elements (like the elaborate cape, the piping, the nipple tassles<--lawls). so, I don't know exactly what that means, but i'm going to hazard a guess and say it means 3 + 9 = awesome. LOL

sdvjfbvfv--gold and violet don't make white! even with light. X'D but otherwise i do like your theory. hehe shit, i got to go to sleep get those y-con pics up! there's some narrative ones showing Goku's imploring down-on-one-knee proposal and Sanzo's reluctant acceptance. haha!

ah ha, but you forget that red, yellow, and blue are the primary colors for pigments, not light. in light you need green instead of yellow, so you'd be missing a proportional piece of the spectrum. i've actually done this experiment before. go science camp! XD it's actually pretty hard to get it to work, cuz the primary colors have to be at exact frequencies, so even if purple light includes blue and yellow light includes green, alas, they wouldn't be in the right quantities to create pure white.

f-fuuaauh~! Our division of light is not arbitrary! We specifically divide it up into green/blue/red because those are the wavelengths that can combine to make any color. it may seem counter intuitive, but the colors the primaries make cannot make up any color themselves because it gets into constructive and destructive wavelengths properties.... i don't wanna research it, just believe meeeee. *w*;;;;;

lol! i hadn't thought of that before! blue-orange, red-green, yellow-violet: the complementary colors! hahahahaha well, actually I'd thought of it the sense that i don't like it when 58 pictures look to christmas-y, haha, but by golly 39 are complementary colors, too! lololol

Koumyou: You see, when colors are complementary, they bring out the best in each other. ::throws airplane::

Kouryu: ....and?

Koumyou: When people are complementary, they bring out the best in each other as well!

Kouryu: I still don't follow. Is there a point to this?Koumyou: ......One day you'll fall in love with someone completely opposite from ( ... )
