Through the lens of Failure 

There are few things I regret in life, but one lingers: being so afraid of failing. Maybe it comes from how I was raised, or from a schooling system built around endless exams, where failing meant falling behind, and falling behind felt like falling apart. The fear of being left behind haunted me then, and if I’m honest, it still taps on my shoulder from time to time. But in both life and…

Don't skip my story read till the end 😥👇

Cases of Skin Rash are increasing everyday because of bacterial , fungal or viral infections , on the other sides alot of insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and flies, which act as vectors. What we are witnessing in shelter centers and displacement camps from the accumulation of stagnant water and inadequate management of waste and sanitation provides a fertile ground for disease vectors. Every day we see in our Medical point about 50 cases of multi-cause rash. 😥💔

St. Mary’s Cathedral -1, Tokyo 2024 by Julius Tjintjelaar Via Flickr: Architect Kenzo Tange. TS lens, shift up. Maximum Point of Perspective. I’ve come to the belief that beauty is not a thing or a quality that exists objectively in the external world. Beauty only exists in the individual as a subjective internal experience. It is an emotional response from the observer to something or someone. The objective of art is not to create beauty or to be beautiful. It is the objective of an emotional response such as beauty - to be manifested as art. Art therefore is the external manifestation of the internal experience of beauty by the artist.

Embracing Creativity as a Journey

We often think of creativity as something to be achieved an end goal, a finished artwork, a perfected skill. But what if creativity is less about reaching a destination and more about an ongoing process of self-discovery? To create is to engage in a constant dialogue with ourselves. Each photograph, painting, or piece of writing reveals something new—not just about the subject but about the way…

okay. this is going to be a rough post because i am still reeling from that direct. sorry about that.

but the map of lumiose city for legends: Z-A just released on the official website.

immediately, one thing struck me:

now, this may not actually be the case, but there's a possibility that this is lumiose station, where you take the TMV from lumiose to kiloude in the XY postgame.

why this building in particular? well, it happens to bear a striking resemblance to the famous gare du nord railway station in paris, which lumiose city is based on; and is even in a somewhat similar relative location in the north.

(location on map - may not be fully accurate to XY's map, but in that game, lumiose station is still on the east side of the north boulevard at least.)

(note the shared features: skylight along the ridge, arches)

with that in mind, it's interesting that chandelure is one of the pokémon featured in this visual. of course, it could easily be just a cute little visual gag (chandelier pokémon beside modern chandeliers); chandelure was part of the XY regional kalos pokédex after all.

however, chandelure is also famously associated with ingo, who is famously associated with trains, and appeared in the previous legends title, even mentioning the former briefly during a plot scene.

could this be a nod to them? no one knows.

of course, if the depicted building isn't actually lumiose station, this whole post is moot and i am but a harlequin in burgh's gym. but for now? i am going absolutely INSANE over this. possibly the most hype part of the reveals today for real.

Now the Israeli occupation is demanding the evacuation of the Baptist Hospital, which is full of wounded people due to its bombing. There is no hospital left in Gaza as it is.
