Sailor Mars

Despite Calianna Mordsson appearing in only one episode, we actually know quite a bit about what she did after parting ways with the Mighty Nein.

First, Mark Hulmes originally posted a short story titled "Home" on reddit, though the link is now broken. All I can recall of it is that Calianna traveled back to Othe, to home of her adopted guardians, the dwarven couple Grim and Magda Mordsson. There she told them aboud the new friends that she had made.

Second, the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount includes an adventure hook featuring Calianna, "A Friend in Need", set in the Felderwin Tillage. In it, Cali had been captured by the Cult of the Caustic Heart and the player characters inadvertently interrupted their ritual to sacrifice her to Tiamat. This hook leads Cali to ask the party to help her vanquish the cult for good.

Finally, described in a tweet by Hulmes, Cali learned that Cirisa had captured a young gold dragon named Goldheart to be sacrificed to Tiamat. Cali went with a group of friends to stop her. In the battle Cali faltered, but received a vision from Bahamut to encourage her and help her overcome her shame of her draconic nature, granting her the Gift of the Metallic Dragon feat.

After Calianna and her friends successfully saved Goldheart, the dragon stayed with Cali in humanoid form. They became close and entered a relationship. Eventually the couple wed and had twin half-dragon children with gold and black scales, a boy named Jest and a girl named Calea, clearly named after the two members of the Mighty Nein that left the strongest impression on her.

Included with the tweet were two (well, one and a half lol) pieces of art by Mark, of Calianna after gaining self confidence, and of Goldheart's humanoid form.

Naps are a forbidden technique, I think. If you pull them off just right you'll access a pool of near-endless rejuvenating power, but if you mess up some inscrutable part of the ritual your vitality and might will be sapped and you'll be left at the mercy of your opponents

This scientist crafts stunning visual art through chemistry.

there's been a common theme coming up with the latest Zelda Reacts comic, and once I'd thought of this I couldn't not do it 🤷‍♀️😂

Remember in the original Lilo and Stitch when Jumba tells Stitch “I tried to give you my good looks but let’s face it, something went wrong”?

Well what’s interesting is that there actually are similarities in their design that prove Jumba tried to model Stitch after himself.

For one thing, they have very similar noses

This one may be a stretch but Stitch’s ears almost resemble much bigger versions of Jumba’s ears, albeit the placement on his head is different too.

They also both have very thick arms, although Jumba’s hands are also very thick as well as his fingers, while Stitch has smaller fingers that have claws (it makes sense Jumba would want him to have claws since Stitch was meant to be dangerous and destructive)

Their feet are also similarly shaped, although Jumba doesn’t have toes while Stitch does, along with round little claws.

EDIT: Correction, @jelthefrog let me know Jumba does have toes, he’s actually just wearing shoes that match his skin tone (thank you again for the correction)

Somehow I just never really noticed any of that. I love that there’s similarities between them.

As for the other experiments, well I personally only headcanon Stitch has a Glitch as the only canon sequel/spinoff, meaning Stitch was Jumba’s only experiment. That’s just my own headcanon though, of course feel free to make up your own headcanons about how the other experiments were designed and whatnot.

"In Northern California, a Native American tribe is celebrating the return of ancestral lands in one of the largest such transfers in the nation’s history.

Through a Dept. of the Interior initiative aiming to bring indigenous knowledge back into land management, 76 square miles east of the central stretch of the Klamath River has been returned to the Yurok tribe.

Sandwiched between the newly-freed Klamath and forested hillsides of evergreens, redwoods, and cottonwoods, Blue Creek is considered the crown jewel of these lands, though if it were a jewel it wouldn’t be blue, it would be a giant colorless diamond, such is the clarity of the water.

Pictured: Blue Creek

It’s the most important cold-water tributary of the Klamath River, and critical habitat for coho and Chinook salmon. Fished and hunted on since time immemorial by the Yurok and their ancestors, the land was taken from them during the gold rush before eventually being bought by timber companies.

Barry McCovey Jr., director of the Yurok Tribal Fisheries Department, remembers slipping past gates and dodging security along Blue Creek just to fish up a steelhead, one of three game fish that populate the river and need it to spawn.

Profiled along with the efforts of his tribe to secure the land for themselves and their posterity, he spoke to AP about the experience of seeing plans, made a decade ago, come to fruition, and returning to the creek on which he formerly trespassed as a land and fisheries manager.

“To go from when I was a kid and 20 years ago even, from being afraid to go out there to having it be back in tribal hands … is incredible,” he said.

Part of the agreement is that the Yurok Tribe would manage the land to a state of maximum health and resilience, and for that the tribe has big plans, including restoring native prairie, using fire to control understory growth, removing invasive species, restoring native fish habitat, and undoing decades of land-use changes from the logging industry in the form of culverts and logging roads.

“And maybe all that’s not going to be done in my lifetime,” said McCovey. “But that’s fine, because I’m not doing this for myself.”

The Yurok Tribe were recently at the center of the nation’s largest dam removal, a two decades-long campaign to remove a series of four hydroelectric dams along the Klamath River. Once the West Coast’s third-largest salmon run, the Klamath dams substantially reduced salmon activity.

Completed last September, the before and after photographs are stunning to witness. By late November, salmon had already returned far upriver to spawn, proving that instinctual information had remained intact even after a century of disconnect.

“Seeing salmon spawning above the former dams fills my heart,” said Joseph L. James, chairman of the Yurok Tribe, the leaders of the dam removal campaign along with the Karuk and Klamath tribes.

“Our salmon are coming home. Klamath Basin tribes fought for decades to make this day a reality because our future generations deserve to inherit a healthier river from the headwaters to the sea.”

Last March, GNN reported that the Yurok Tribe had also become the first of America’s tribal nations to co-manage land with the National Park Service under a historic memorandum of understanding involving Redwoods National Park.

The nonprofit Save the Redwoods bought a piece of land adjacent to the park, which receives 1 million visitors annually and is a UNESCO Natural Heritage Site, and handed it over to the Yurok for stewardship.

The piece of land, which contained giant redwoods, recovered to such an extent that the NPS has incorporated it into the Redwoods trail network, and the two agencies will cooperate in ensuring mutual flourishing between two properties and one ecosystem.

Back at Blue Creek, AP reports that work has already begun clearing non-native conifer trees planted for lumber. The trunks will be used to create log jams in the creek for wildlife habitat.

Costing $56 million, the land was bought from the loggers by Western Rivers Conservancy, using a mixture of fundraising efforts including private capital, low interest loans, tax credits, public grants and carbon credit sales.

The sale was part of a movement called Land Back, which involves returning ownership of once-native lands of great importance to tribes for the sake of effective stewardship. [Note: This is a weirdly limited definition of Land Back. Land Back means RETURN STOLEN LAND, PERIOD.] Studies have shown around the tropics that indigenous-owned lands in protected areas have higher forest integrity and biodiversity than those owned by national governments.

Land Back has seen 4,700 square miles—equivalent to one and a half-times the size of Yellowstone National Park—returned to tribes through land buy-back agreements in 15 states." [Note: Since land buyback agreements aren't the only form of Land Back, the total is probably (hopefully) more than that.]
