📰 Alice’s News Adventure: Understanding Current Events and How They Shape Our World! 🌍
By Alice Did you know my big sister, Ariel, isn’t just an artist, scientist, and engineer—she’s also a news analyst?! 🤯✨ Ever since she was young, she loved asking questions about the world, writing stories, and watching how events unfolded around her. She would often sit in front of the television, not just to enjoy the stories presented, but to dissect them, pondering the motivations behind…

legend tells that Thoth, god of knowledge and magic, played cards with Khonsu, god of the moon, and won 5 extra days worth of moonlight. he gave them to the sky goddess Nut (who was forbidden from giving birth on any day of the then 360-day year), subsequently allowing her to produce Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, and Nepthys—one on each of the five days
no one knows that Thoth was up to with the whole “leap year” thing. after all, there’s no way Nut could give birth to just 1/4th of a god. unless…..
no way!!!! this has become a CERTIFIED MEDJED POST!!!!!!!!!!

#this is a take that is going to get a lot of ancient Egyptian scholars very mad at me <|:^)#EDIT: earlier version of this post accidentally listed Geb (husband of Nut) as one of her children instead of Set. my sincerest apologies#I’ll do more fact checking of my sources in the future

sam young, jaded triggerman, utter tragedy of a human being, gifting his best friend‘s children he‘s never met fucking nerf guns for christmas is the funniest possible way black doves could have ended. how even. did he walk into that toy shop and it was just the first thing he saw he could relate to? i like guns, this is guns for children? or is he simply the funniest bitch around? either way, what an absolute piss-take. god i love him
#black doves#sam young#helen webb#helen you are a stronger person than i i wouldve pissed myself laughing#but also get that man a children for dummies handbook he hasnt a clue how to deal with them#anyone else think about the fact that ostensibly most of his experience with childraising stems from watching his dad#whom we saw for all of five seconds and who spent the entire time telling his >10yo about (checks notes) a professional hitman’s honor code#W H A T#god i love the implications of that#black doves is a comedy

If you're visiting family for Easter, and they won't respect your gender, remind them that Jesus's chromosomes are canonically XX, as he inherited all of his human DNA from Mary.
Unless of course they think that Mary was actually a child-bearing XY cis woman, which is also a delightful and realistic possibility. So either Jesus is Trans or Mary is Intersex.
Or it could also be both!
Happy Easter Day of Trans Visibility!
Further reading on that if you're interested:
#trans rights#easter#trans day of visibility#intersex rights#trans shitposting#jesus christ#trans jesus#yes there are XY cis women#yes they can have children#they're rare but that's also partially because checking someone's chromosomes is very rarely done to begin with#so given the fact that we've found any with how infrequently we even look#it implies that atypical sex chromosomes may actually be more common than we think#both because Jesus's could've been assigned female#despite being XY like his mom#so Mary could be an intersex cis woman#and Jesus could be an intersex XY trans man#Happy Easter Day of Trans Visibility

Dc x Dp Prompt #5
Demon Twin AU only Damian never had a blood son phase and has “biological siblings” (how absurd):
Damian would like to start by saying he is not at fault for this… miscommunication. Truly, how was he to know sharing the same blood as Jasmine and Danyal would make them “siblings”? Not once has anyone mentioned such absurd claims. He has never and will never treat either of the two the way he would Richard or any of his other siblings, but apparently sharing the same donors when being created automatically makes people siblings.
Worse, father is upset at him and mother for “hiding away” two of his “children” from him. Richard and Thomas will not stop staring at him. Todd, Brown, and Drake will not stop laughing. Cassandra has not stopped looking at his body language since this whole encounter started. Alfred is giving him his patented disappointed face he oh so hates but what is he to do?
Damian was not hiding anything or anyone. Jasmine and Danyal have not nor will they ever be his siblings. They are the children of Jack and Maddie Fenton just as Richard and the rest of them are Bruce’s children. Blood has nothing to do with family. They are at best “god-siblings” or “cousins” if father refuses to believe they are simply childhood companions.
There is barely a hint of emotion as father purses his lips while his siblings continue looking on at him in disbelief. Damian is not understanding why they are having trouble comprehending such simple logic. It is common sense to know that siblings are the children at least one of your parents have raised other than yourself. Parents are the people who raise you. Talia raised him therefore she is his mother. He lives with Bruce who is now raising him and therefore he is his father.
Neither Talia nor Bruce raised Jasmine or Danyal, therefore they are not siblings. It is merely coincidence that he shared blood with both Bruce and Talia. After all, every time he’s visited Amity Park, most children look nothing like their parents. How can it not be coincidence when it is clearly far more normal to raise children who don’t share an ounce of blood with you, than those who do.
How can it not be normal when Jack Fenton took Jasmine in so easily knowing he didn’t share any dna with her? Even more so with Danyal who doesn’t share even a drop of blood with either Jack or Maddie. Look at yourself father. Out of all your children, only one shares your dna. Do not try and pin this on Damian for being the only sensible person in this family. Blood siblings, ha, don’t make him laugh.
#dc x dp#dp x dc#dc x dp prompt#dp x dc prompt#dc x dp crossover#dp x dc crossover#danny and damian are twins#they and Jazz are all bio siblings through Bruce#but only Jazz and Danny think of each other as siblings#Jazz is Bruce and Maddie’s kid#Jack is infertile#Talia being a great bff to Maddie offered up Bruce’s dna#this changes everything and nothing at the same time#Damian never called himself the only blood son#Talia and Ra’s never instilled it into him knowing Jazz and Danny were around#Damian still had a superiority complex but only because he was heir to demon#the batfam told him to call Jazz/Danny to fact check#unfortunately for them neither Jazz or Danny knew this either#they were all taught that blood didn’t mean shit by both the league and their parents#for Damian this included Bruce too (which he is now slowly regretting)#it also wasn’t until the batfam saw danny that anyone found out danny and Damian were twins#no one in amity ever really thought about why danny and damian looked so similar#amity park is big on adoption#very few of them actually gave birth to their children#this only enforced the thought that raising a child who you sired isn’t common#Damian uses amity park as a reference for what’s considered normal#Bruce almost had an aneurism when he found out about Dan and Ellie

Told my friend I was planning to draw this & When I asked her why she immidiately deduced that Gaston was the one giving birth, she said (1: ive made related jokes b4, but two-) "you tend to punish men for their sins."
And we'll. Can't argue with that. Anyways, this meme:
Gaston please Beau was just born he hasn't had time to grow into his features yet... *
[Ref and rambling under cut]
Ref image:

(*Which Are mostly Gastons actually, just w/ Lefous height and build. (and even then, grown Beau has noticeably broader shoulders than Lefou lol))
(Srry This is the only real drawing of the lad I have but u get the vision)

The kid that Actually has mostly Lefou's features would probably be Birdy, who mostly just takes Gast's height & eye color
I would've added a mini comic bit of the girls saying stuff but I got lazy :P
#tbc Birdy is. a nickname. her name is Brigette#yes all the children have names & personalities. they are. like. genuine characters.#like unfortunately they are NOT just for the bit I care about them deeply they've existed for awhile now#so!! meet my gafou fankids!! let me know if you wanna know more abt them!! asks and whatnot r open!!#given up on trying to be cool on this website#batb#batb 1991#beauty and the beast#meme redraw#fanart#Gaston batb#gaston#lefou#gafou#technically.. with the implications... I should use the other name..#but that one like ONLY exists on pixiv and this fandom aint big enough for ppl to genuinly care#that one post abt fandom and hitting someone in the head witj a frying pan accidentally#anyways the other shipname is Legas. or.. lefgas? idr I'd have to check#but yea fun fact!#gem stop yapping in ur tags#doodlez#ALSO THOSE ARE LEFOUS HANDS. I JUST REALIZED THEY MAY LOOK LIKE TINY ARMS THEY'RE NOT.#artz<3#fan kid#fankids#that better be the right term.#art meme

one of the things that fascinate me about thawne: yes, he CAN be normal with kids! surprisingly normal!



((not at all times, though. his mental illness still spills through and as usual he, in trying to manipulate or hurt others, spits out at them the exact stuff that would hurt him (or have in his childhood/barry's rejection interpretation) the most in the first place lmao))

but at the same time. his like second instinct when doing his bullshit is FUCK THEM (as) KIDS





(and, well. whatever this classifies as)

#whats wrong with him. seriously. he loves picking fights with literal children So Much#AND NONE OF THEM WITH WALLY ON THE MATTER OF BEING THE BIGGEST FLASH FAN. HOW DID THAT NEVER HAPPEN#about the middle page. honestly i DIDNT remember he is a Jerk in that way too until i checked his interactions with bart for this post#this man officially should not be allowed near children as a mentor.#just straight up drops ALL his insecurities on a poor kid in trying to make him feel ashamed. NO breaking the abuse cycle for this bad boy#the only thing he doesnt say is the direct 'you are a disappointment' altho the message is still the same 💀💀💀💀💀💀#AND I BET HES HELLA PROUD OF THAT. I MEAN CONSIDERING THIS FACT IG HE DOES TRY TO BE BETTER THAN HIS PARENTS. SOMEWHAT.#and omg he formulates his point like in problem based learning (leading the child to making the correct conclusion themselves)#im dying. professor to the fucking core.#and the way he feels the need to bring up flash facts in his appeal?? EO YOURE SO HOPELESS. THIS IS 100% HOW BART SAW HIM THROUGH#and god knows what he told thad promising to get him out of the speed force if he fought barry there and whether he was going to fulfill it#and do you even IMAGINE how FUCKED barry's mental condition would be growing up if thawne fulfilled his button threat#and i really REALLY wonder about the tornado twins and their relationship with 'uncle eobard' but that will be a separate post#he doesnt know any other way tho. and he might be actually mad at bart for not supporting his every action as The Flash#like. he tries to play family but the second they question he just goes WHATEVER. I DONT NEED IT. FLASH OF MY VISION RUNS ALONE#his problem is that he just wants attention. he doesnt see family/heroing for what 'its really about' or downsides that may come with them#everything is so idealized in his head. and the moment he faces reality with its complications the concept immediately gets antagonized.#and then he reconsiders and changes the conditions but fails each time never realizing the problem is his mindset and not everything else#black white at its finest yall#and man. RELATABLE.#also WHY is he standing LIKE A STATUE when appearing in front of bart????😭😭😭😭#poor museum rat has no idea what heroes in real life stand like#eobard thawne#professor zoom#reverse flash#the reverse flash#bart allen#the flash#dc

oh my god chris rodriguez spent years in the right cabin and he didn't know. he was left unclaimed and unwanted for years, left in a cabin that he was made to feel he didn't belong to even though he did. he rebelled and joined the war against the gods, ending up losing his sanity, and that still wasn't enough for his father to claim him, to simply say "yeah, this is my son". he was always in the right place, but he didn't know it, and he never got the chance to actually call the hermes cabin his family. no wonder so many of the hermes kids hated their dad.
#i cant believe this had to be pointed iut to be my a tiktok#im a fake fan i fear#chris they could never make me hate you#chris rodriguez#pjo#heroes of olympus#hoo#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson#hermes#just fact checked he was NEVER CLAIMED#what the fuck#it's only stated in the demigod files that hes a hermes kid#so its easy to assume he only got claimed bc percy told the gods they have to claim their children#and that it didnt happen until after the war#wtf

It's such a shame wwx is terrified of dogs when everything about him screams dog. I have never seen a character be more neglected border collie coded.
#Like there's all the angsty dehumanisation metaphors but there's also the fact that this man is happiest when he's herding#A group of small children around and when understimulated amuses himself by doing crime#Fiercely loyal? Incredibly intelligent? Highly independent? Needs something to do at all hours? Bouncing off the walls? Check check and che#mdzs#wwx#wei wuxian#wei ying#Oh but a little shepherd lwj and his award winning spoilt border collie wwx au would be adorable

proud to announce that I was paid to read comics today
#bolo speaks#okay this is phrased facetiously but I work in an archive now and today during my shift was told to go personally explore the archive#so I can learn more about it.#it was an exercise in learning about the archive's operating processes so the specific content I checked out wasn't as important#as the fact that I did.#to which I responded. you mean I get to go read about ANYTHING I want? 👀#and the batman mind virus promptly took over.#I did have to suffer through the mortifying ordeal of asking my colleagues to pull their finest children's comics from the archives though#(but I did have a lot of fun)

I have a lot of older conservative relatives, most of them are surprisingly sympathetic towards Luigi (though a lot of it has to do with him being a handsome white man, rather than any appreciation for his supposed bravery.)
They’ve suffered decades of denied claims, and have lived long enough to realise that there is no peaceful way to fight back at the system. Regular people have no legal recourse to seek justice when we’re screwed over. Most of us are one medical emergency away from bankruptcy. The American healthcare system is so skewed, so evil, I don’t quite know how to express it to someone who hasn’t experienced it first-hand.
And yet, “murder is bad” is so deeply ingrained in them that they think he deserves some sort of punishment. They don’t want him to go away for life, but they’re also too stupid to realise that the chance to “reasonably” punish him ended back in December. He needs us Americans to disregard the evidence shown to us in court, to display some collective moral intelligence for once, to do the right thing even when it’s the antithesis of the law. We have to vote Not Guilty even if they show is a goddamn Livestream of Luigi doing it.
Unfortunately Americans as a collective voted for this disaster. And the disaster is much bigger than what’s happening to Luigi. Look at the state of the country. I’ve been asking every older conservative I know, and they genuinely want him to “do a few years” not realising that few years is not an option. They simply cannot justify letting a killer walk free, no matter how justified the crime. These idiots don’t understand how it works. They don’t know that it’s all or nothing. If we don’t save him, he’s going to meet a fate much darker than Brian Thompson did.
I will tell you this, the hardcore MAGAs want him to fry. There are people who vote red because they’re genuinely conservative, and there he has some chance, but the ones who vote conservative out of malice? They want him tortured and executed in public. I am scared of those people making it on to his jury. I am counting on Karen’s ability to spot these rotten pigs and get them kicked off…it’s my only hope.

i hope americans (and brainwashed white people in general) learn a few things very soon –
non-violence does not work, and sometimes violence is the only answer and it is absolutely right, and
privileged people like them have forgotten this lesson because people of colour have suffered at their hands and have ingrained that lesson in their blood while they looked away and this included people losing their life to the death penalty too.
(click on the underlined portions, they're linked to posts that are relevant to what i mentioned)
also I know you said it is very hard to make those people sympathise with Luigi and they're really very idiotic but maybe trying to make them understand would help?? by telling them exactly what is at stake?? surely they're not rooting for a person like Luigi to be killed by the death penalty or to be deprived of every shred of life in LWOP?? maybe reasoning with them would help?? i don't know if it would but i genuinely hope it does.
i've had basically this exact conversation a few times and there are more asks currently waiting in my inbox talking about this, and i think Luigi's only hope of walking lies in KFA's capability of enforcing voir dire to make sure that he gets a female majority jury, with most people being people of colour. i cannot frankly see any hope otherwise.
#if i'm allowed to make a joke let me just say being white has deprived those people of two things – melanin and empathy#and i will stand by that since my experiences are very different and i'm not white either#also the ceo had died pretty nicely and easily#three shots and he flailed and flopped on the sidewalk and was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead#that's heaven to too many people who have suffered so so much#if getting killed like that after living the kind of life the ceo did makes people clutch their pearls they really need to touch some grass#that is nothing and even more nothing in a country where school children get shot in schools regularly#it is way harder to lose your life when you're young because you have your whole life in front of you and you don't get to have that#the ceo had not only lived his life he'd also done everything he could to make people suffer and he was failing as a family man too#he couldn't have asked for more#but Luigi is sitting in prison and writing the lorax is such a fundamental story that it “will be so critical to read to my kids”#Luigi has everything to ask for in life and he should get it#the ceo's mom is definitely not alive but Luigi's mom is she would lose her only son if he dies by the death penalty or even if he gets LWO#i just hope the boomers can learn to have this empathy#edit: since somebody already sent me an ask about this anon from this ask granted me permission to post this publicly after this ask was#sent and i did in fact answer that ask publicly too so you can check that out if you want to#post can also be reblogged because of the same reason#nobody knows who anon is and i definitely don't and anon was okay with it being posted#luigi mangione#free luigi#asks

Hey, if i were to write a piece on Sev gradutating in the house potter au-
what year would it be. and how old is everyone else? I'm bad at math and don't want to get it wrong
also would he be friends with a weasley bro
AHH, this is so exciting!
I hope I didn't get the math wrong, haha. Sev's graduation would be in June 1991, so Severus would be 18, Harry would still be 10 because he doesn't turn 11 till July and Lily & James would both be 31.
I like to think so, yes! Both Charlie and Tonks would be in Sev's year and I love the idea of them becoming friends despite each being in a different House —this is only my headcanon, though, feel free to do whatever you like best.
Let me know if you've got any other questions. =)
#I'm so looking forward to this!!#Btw this helped me realise that the person who sent lovely asks and the person who left lovely comments were in fact the same one#I went to check the profile of the user who'd said they wanted to write something based on HP and there you were#<33#midnightstollsinlatefall1#House Potter for Children in Need#Ask Ail#*
