Hey wait, maybe that what the inferno of jealousy is...?

you have to looking at it

So BillyBobbo posted some comparisons on Twitter and the new darkner does seem to reference a rudinn but this one is a plant

and that made me think that, that's definitely intentional, so here's a line of thought: Rudinn is a diamond card, it shoots diamonds this new enemy shoots thorns/spikes then may be a cactus, if it's related to diamonds then.... maybe it's a pink diamond cactus??

it even got the pink spots and all lol I did a bit of digging (pun intended) and this type of cactus is called Gymnocalycium mihanovichii, it's native of Paraguay and Argentina, They are also called Hibotan or Moon cactus, when they are hybrids (or amalgamate if you will) for the purpose of making the top cactus have more vibrant colors, colors such as......

But my parents were birders, so hiking we did go.

And about a mile up the trail, a woman came rushing up to us, clutching her binoculars to her chest. "Come quickly," she said, with a British accent. "You have to see this!"

This is what birders are like. They are as excited about a life bird as any fan would be spotting their favorite celebrity. You have to see, you have to.

So my parents rushed off with her, and I plodded along behind them.

To find a cluster of Brits huddled in a bird blind, staring at..

A blue jay.

A goddamn blue jay.

And I was a teenager, but I knew better then to mouth off in front of my mom. So I nodded, and smiled, and bit my tongue, until an elderly man looked at me with tears in his eyes, and said, "Isn't it BEAUTIFUL?"

And I stopped. And looked at it. The way they were. As if it were new. And damned if they weren't right.
