[somnidasha]

okay i'm just thinking about jace, who works at a nightclub. and there's a music band with ridiculous name that performs at this place at least once a week. and jace really hates their music, okay? and no, this hate doesn't have anything to do with their annoying bass player, okay, clary? no, of course, jace was never interested with this simon guy. and, of course, they talk only because jace really has nothing else to do. and maybe (just maybe) making fun about minor at the bar and offer the guy baby food every time instead whatever he was order can be fascinating. and anyway, clary was the one who kept saying to jace that he needed more training to be nice and polite as barmen should be. and it's seems like simon is the best choice when jace need test his patience (because this guy is really annoying. has jace mentioned this before?). and so what if sometimes he really gets lost in that deep eyes? it's mean nothing if he looks at this boy on the stage longer than anyone else and applauds more than he should. after all simon is just best friend of clary's. and jace believes there's some rules like "best friend of my friend can beserves some support from me even if they're very annoying and play really shitty music". jace isn't sure actually but he really don't want to upset clary. so jace totally don't understand what izzy talking about when, after their siblings' meeting at this bar she asked him when he planned to introduce her to his boyfriend.

i'm just thinking about simon who definitely has a crush on this barman. and he really need a month before trying to talk with him. to be honest it was a disaster. as soon as simon opened his mouth a lot of ridiculous chatter came out. and it's seems like simon was told this handsome bartender about his fake id. at least simon got his name. jace. simon thinks that it's suit this guy. and that's probably the first and last thing he knows about him, because simon is pretty sure that they will never perfom at this place again and probably an image of his face will hang on the door of every nightclub with inscription "never let in". so he was really surprised when they returned to this club the following week and everything seemed pretty normal. but for some reasons "python's children" (fuck eric and his names for band) ask him to going for drinks every times since this day. simon literally has no idea why, because he's never come back with something that involves alcohol (some kind of troubles which you deal with when you telling barman about your fake id). but he thinks that it has something to do with clary's smirk which appers every time simon talks with this barman. but if simon know anything it's that jace isn't interested in him. at all. jace lets know that to simon so many times. it will always be clary. and no, simon isn't jealous or anything, he really wants clary to be happy. but when he thinks about it, he just gets so upset that he isn't the one who jace care about (well, maybe simon is a little jealous). but he can't do anything with this.

i'm just thinking about clary and izzy who really care about the happiness of those two idiots. they care so much that they can't ignore obvious feelings between simon and jace. so who can blem girls when they bring those idiots? after all, there's nothing wrong with a friendly dinner for four that girls suddenly can't come to. so boys just need to figure this thing between they. but just in case jace was even thought about acting like asshole izzy made it very clear to him that he can't come to home if he didn't talk to simon. clary was a little softer on this issue but threatening not to talk to simon for about a week seems like torture enough to made simon speak about his feelings. so maybe jace need to say "thank you" for his sister for being able to say anyone that at next performance at the bar everyone that this is his boyfriend who the only good player on stage. and simon will definitely say "thank you" a million times to clary for just the way eric looks when jace kissed simon after the performance.

this is beautiful and should be shared and also in now i want to tell my favourite customer service story of all time

was waiting for a father and his kids to come to the counter, listening to him make a joke abt not needing ID for his beer bc he was born in the 1500s and immediately, i Know. this man loves medieval british history he just emanates that Vibe.

i ring them up, making idle conversation, listening to this middle aged guy tell bad monty python worthy jokes to a very unimpressed ten year olds, when i see my Opportunity. he mentions 1066. i know it is Time

i mutter smth under my breath: ‘battle of hastings’. he makes eye contact. he didn’t hear me.

“bet you don’t know what happened in 1066” he says cheerfully, but he is Wrong. i grew up in england i have seen the bayeux tapestry with my own eyes. i Smile

“battle of hastings!” i reply, audibly this time, and his eyes LIGHT UP

‘invasion from?’

this is now a history quiz and i love getting good grades

‘william the conqueror, from normandy’

emotionally i know he is giving me a gold star. we are now Kindred Spirits. his kids look on, bored, but i feel elation like nothing i have ever known

‘what was the kings name? the one with the arrow through the eye’

oh No. i Panic. my brain Freezes. the stakes are too high and it has been too long

i hesitate, and his eyes gleam with victory. he has won.

‘one of the henrys i can only assume’ i try to sound casual, and fail. i know it begins with an H. i know im losing his respect

he sighs, turns to leave, ushers his children out of the shop. i am red with shame and begin to ring up the next customer who has been there This Whole Time

he pauses in the doorway and it Hits Me

“HAROLD!!!!” i yell WAY TOO LOUDLY

And this man smiles and waves goodbye, nodding as he goes, and i never see him again

oh yh and his kid came in the day prior loudly chatting to his friend abt how he was gonna teach his best friend latin. i hope that kid knows the whole time i was so excited for him i LOVE LATIN. he was so nerdy he will go so far

I'm one of the few people that genuinely LOVES working customer service (hotel receptionist here), like yes the occasional person is rude and entitled. But most of the time? People are kind, and funny, and will jump at the chance to share a bit of their lives with someone else.

The businessman that comes in every week who seemed grouchy at first now smiles and waves when I remember his name, and explains he's just finished a long drive, and he doesn't MEAN to come off as rude, he's just tired.

The mother and daughter who visit the hotel each summer and tell me they've been coming here for years, and each time they visit they go to the pier and save up their tickets for the big ticket items. One day they come through the doors with the biggest grins, the older lady in the wheelchair proudly waving a huge stuffed toy tiger she's "had her eye on for years".

The young man with his girlfriend who looks nervous as he approaches reception, and stumbles over his words, his hands shaking as he signs the paperwork to check in. I've spent the last two weeks on the phone with him organising this; we've set up the bedroom with balloons and petals and decorations, and he's going to propose as soon as they get to the room.

The woman who I've not seen before who asks if I'm local, and tells me she grew up here, and had recently found herself drawn back. We talk about the sounds of seagulls, and the metal clanging of masts down at the harbour, and how the sounds that fade into the background are the ones you miss most when you leave. She's writing a book and promises to send me a copy when she's done.

The regular who goes out of her way to buy us all the strangest biscuits she can find at the tourist shops. We try them together, pulling faces at the ones that just don't work.

The thirty something woman who immediately sees a kinship in me and whispers to me that she has been here before, but under a name she no longer uses, and we celebrate the freedom she feels.

The support group that comes in for coffee each week and sit together filling the foyer with laughter.

Every single person living their own wonderful complicated rich lives, and I get to be a part of that. How is that not beautiful?

The Future of Testing: How Selenium Automation Testing is transforming the Industry

Introduction

What is quality assurance and testing? Increasing complexity in modern applications has made manual testing difficult, as it is not only time-consuming but also inefficient. Here is where Selenium automation testing is making a difference in the industry, from being reliable and scalable to a fast solution for testing software.

What is selenium automation testing?

Selenium is an open-source framework for automating web-based applications across various browsers and platforms. Selenium models at automated tests, thus running much more efficiently and effectively than general manual testing. Selenium is an extremely versatile and flexible solution, as developers and testers can write scripts in various programming languages, including Java, Python, C#, Ruby, and JavaScript.

Opening New Avenues in Software Testing with Selenium

1. Cross-Browser Compatibility

Another great advantage of Selenium automation testing is that it supports multiple browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Internet Explorer. This guarantees that web applications operate uniformly across various settings,  erasing browser-related problems.

2. Integrate with CI/CD Pipelines

As organizations embrace DevOps and CI/CD at scale, Selenium works with popular tools such as Jenkins, Bamboo, and GitHub Actions. This enables

3. Parallel Test Execution for Speed and Efficiency

Manual testing requires significant time and resources. Selenium Grid, an advanced feature of Selenium, allows parallel test execution across multiple machines and browsers. This drastically reduces the time needed for testing, ensuring rapid feedback and improved software quality.

4. Cost-Effectiveness and Open-Source Advantage

Because Selenium is entirely free and open-source, in contrast to many commercial testing tools, it is a great option for start-ups, small businesses, and major companies. Updates, bug fixes, and new features are continuously accessible because of the strong community support.

5. Flexible Language Support

Selenium supports a wide array of programming languages, including:

Java

Python

C#

Ruby

JavaScript

Test script development is made easier and more efficient by this flexibility, which enables test automation engineers to work with a language they are familiar with.

Essential Elements of Selenium Automation

1. Selenium WebDriver

WebDriver, the core component of Selenium, works directly with web browsers to perform user actions including text input, button clicks, and page scrolling. It offers faster execution and enables headless browser testing for better performance.

2. The IDE for Selenium

The main purpose of the record-and-playback Selenium Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is to facilitate the rapid construction of test scripts. For novices wishing to begin test automation without extensive programming experience, it is perfect.

3. Grid Selenium

Selenium Grid drastically cuts down on test execution time by enabling parallel test execution across several computers and settings. Large-scale enterprise applications that need a lot of regression testing will find it especially helpful.

Selenium Automation Testing Best Practices

1. Make use of the POM (Page Object Model)

A design pattern called the Page Object Model (POM) improves the reusability and maintainability of test scripts. Teams can readily alter test cases without compromising the main framework by keeping UI components and test logic separate.

2. Implement Data-Driven Testing

Using frameworks like TestNG and JUnit, testers can implement data-driven testing, allowing them to run test scripts with multiple sets of input data. This ensures broader test coverage and better validation of application functionality.

3. Make Use of Headless Browser Evaluation Using browsers like Chrome Headless and PhantomJS to run tests in headless mode (without a GUI) expedites test execution, which makes it perfect for CI/CD pipelines. 4. Include Exception Management Testers should use explicit waits, implicit waits, and try-catch blocks to improve the resilience of test scripts and avoid test failures caused by small problems like network delays or element loading times. 5. Constant Tracking and Reporting Teams can more efficiently examine test results and monitor issues over time by integrating test reporting solutions such as Extent Reports, Allure, or TestNG Reports.

Selenium Automation Testing's Future

Because of updating in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), Selenium automation testing seems to have a bright future.

Emerging AI-driven self-healing test automation frameworks enable scripts to dynamically adjust to UI changes, minimizing maintenance requirements. Furthermore, scalable, on-demand test execution is made possible by the integration of cloud-based testing platforms such as Sauce Labs, browser stack, and Lambda Test, guaranteeing high performance in international settings.

Conclusion

By increasing productivity, reducing expenses, and raising software quality, Selenium automation testing is transforming the software testing sector rapidly. It is an essential tool for modern software development teams due to its adaptability, cross-browser compatibility, and integration capabilities. Businesses may use Selenium automation's advantages and maintain their competitive edge in the current digital environment by putting best practices into effect, utilizing parallel execution, and integrating with CI/CD pipelines. Advanto Software in Pune offers the best Selenium Automation Testing Courseat an affordable price with 100% placement assistance.

Rust Compiler Performance Triage

Much noise in benchmarks this week, which makes it hard to tell what the real improvements were and what they were due to. A query cache change (PR #107667) is part of the story. In addition, much improvement was reaped from the change to not deaggregate MIR (PR #107267). Finally, microoptimizing fold_ty (PR #107627) yielded a small improvement to a broad set of benchmarks.

Triage done by @pnkfelix. Revision range: a64ef7d0..e4dd9edb

Summary:

(instructions:u) mean range count Regressions ❌ (primary) 2.4% [0.3%, 18.8%] 18 Regressions ❌ (secondary) 1.8% [0.2%, 4.1%] 21 Improvements ✅ (primary) -1.0% [-3.2%, -0.3%] 88 Improvements ✅ (secondary) -4.0% [-13.1%, -0.1%] 47 All ❌✅ (primary) -0.4% [-3.2%, 18.8%] 106

Best python ide for gui

#BEST PYTHON IDE FOR GUI CODE#

PyQt applications run much better in practice from a user perspective than something like Electron. OTOH, with something like Electron, you are going through a browsery DOM with a bunch more layers of abstraction between you and the meat of what's actually happening.

#BEST PYTHON IDE FOR GUI CODE#

If you are doing normal GUI development, you are only using Python to orchestrate objects that are implemented in C++, so the actual implementation of the widgets is all native code that runs great. (But both are terrible languages for that.) If you are doing hard core number crunching or the like, Javascript is much faster than pure Python. > I bet you money electron is faster than python. I have used that combination on several commercial ventures in the past. Generally speaking, a cross-platform toolkit and a cross-platform language can get you into most places, and both Qt and Python fit that bill. What do you mean by "fast and efficient"? Python and Qt can handle user interactions in real-time, even with hundreds of controls. So it depends on what you want to use it for. Android and iOS each have their own standard languages and frameworks. If you are having to learn a toolkit either way, it's worth considering.ĭepending on your experience and intended platforms, you may prefer other language/framework combinations. I don't know as much about it, but I do know that it's quite capable. Not quite as fancy, but quite capable.Ī more recent toolkit is kivy. There's also wxWidgets, which is fine too. PySide provides convenient, reliable interfaces to Qt within Python.Qt is very powerful with basically everything you could ever think of in a toolkit (and a bunch more stuff you'll never use).My employer uses Qt through PySide and it's great.

Manny Delmont HC's

A/N: The last of the boys is here but he certainly ain't the least ;) EDITED

TW'S: YANDERE, MURDER, NEEDLE MENTION(TATTOO),

By far the most unhinged member of the family and thats saying A LOT lmao

Platonic yandere for his kin, he has killed in their name and will do it again.

One of if not the most loyal person you'd ever meet.

Once he decides he likes you he turns into your own personal puppy.

If the puppy was a man who enjoyed showing his love through the most violent means at hand that is.

Smells like honey and lavender and when he can't be bothered to hide it, blood.

Shares a lot of features with his twin, except his eyes, he has the brightest in his family, and they are often clouded with mischief.

Marcos uses him as a test dummy for outfits since they look nearly identical, if looks good on Manny he can go from there.

He's been offered to model before.

Best begging face in the business, he rarely has to ask for something twice.

Has a few tattoos, there's a blank cartoon heart over his real one, plans on getting his beloveds name inked there once he finds em.

And he knows he will!

Hopeless romantic, he loves romcoms!

Especially You on Netflix(👁👄👁)

Thinks Christine should have chosen to be with the Phantom of the Opera.

Also thinks Victor should have been with Emily from A Corpse Bride.

Mask kink but we'll circle back later ;)

It stems from his love of all things Horror something be shared with his twin, if he's watching something where he picks up even a hint of romance between the Slasher and the final girl he starts kicking his feet.

Thinks the bad guys deserve love to!

Gave himself his first tattoo, a stick n poke he made himself after watching 1 YouTube video.

Yeah that got infected, but he thought scars were sick as hell plus it was a great party story.

People fall over their feet for him on the daily.

Has gotten in the most fights out of all the brothers.

He may takes some licks during them but he was scary in the way that he never stayed down, and you could tell from the blank look in his eye and the twisted grin, if he got the chance he'd put you in the ground.

Terrible singer but that doesn't stop him from belting out his favorites in the shower

He loves pop music because there are a surprising amount of songs that remind him of his specific brand of love.

He really likes reading, especially when it teaches him something new, always learning this one.

He could be at the top of his class if he put in a smidge more of effort but he likes his life, as long as he's not actively causing chaos which lets be honest is very easy for him, the teachers often turn a blind eye to his goofing off.

Had several fake Id's before he was legal just to get into clubs to see bands preform.

Has a snake named noodle.

Shes a Python. He talks to her like a person

"You would not believe my day girl."

He's lean but strong, way stronger than he looks which always catches people by surprise.

If he doesn't have something occupying his hands he will start tapping on whatever available surface and if left unattended that will turn into beatboxing.

Funny even when he isn't trying

He once kidnapped a guy who was giving his twin grief and sent a picture of his upside down body in the group chat

"Felt kinda silly idk :) "

Manny's got high expectations for anyone dating his family, he's the real reason they have the rule about vetting people with each other.

When Ricky and Gabe were fighting over that girl way back when, a much younger Manny, hating the way his usually loving siblings were at each others throats, took it upon himself to rid them of the problem.

Knowing he only meant well Ricky and Gabe concocted the system the use today, but don't tell that to Manny.

His fits always come with a body count.

Oral fixation, he's constantly chewing on something.

His only source for relationships are his insane ass family so as the baby, it's natural he'd absorb all that crazy.

His laugh is more of a cackle.

He picks stuff up super easily but also gets bored just as fast so he has this random ass assortment of skills and neat party tricks.

Like one summer he got super into gymnastics so for fun he liked to twist into a backbend and speed crawl towards his brothers in the pitch black of the night.(Ricky has passed out from this)

Adrenalin junkie, he'd gotten his first motorbike at 15 and had been chasing the high he got from that first ride since.

Gabe taught him how to fight, not because he wanted to but because Manny had a tendency to mouth off to the wrong people and Gabe couldn't always be there to defend him.

Loves playing soccer, his father wanted him to have a much more legal way of releasing that devil in him, after nailing the goalie with a ball so hard he passed out, he fell in love with the sport.

He has a mean kick, if someone pissed him off enough he'd always manage to 'accidentally' kick the ball at their softest parts.

Has a new group of friends every week, he can't help it if everyone wants a piece of him.

He meets you at a bookstore, and he seen you long before he walked over to ask for help.

He watched the gentle way you handled the books, the care you showed them as you sorted, he could see you bobbing your head to the song softly playing from some speaker, the beams of light pouring in from the window cast you in a light that was damn near angelic.

He gaped at you silently for a bit before coming up with some obscure book title im his mind, if his assumptions about you were correct, you'd offer to help.

"Hi? Sorry to bug you." He put on his most charming smile and he could see it's effects instantly, the warm look in your eye gave him butterflies in his stomach.

"You're fine, how can I help you hun?" God even the way you spoke had goosebumps trailing down his back, your tone was like velvet.

"O-oh well I have this report due tomorrow that I completely spaced about- any chance you have this one?" He made sure to flash his watch, peacocking in every way he knew how, the rolex a gift from his Father, but you focused intently on the screen.

"Hmm this is an old one, I've definitely seen it, wanna follow me?"

"Absolutely." The response was innocent in nature but you had no idea just how much he meant that.

"So, you like to read or just a job thing?" He said gesturing to the rest of the store. To his delight you gave him another heart stopping smile, "I love books. How they can take you away from all the bullshit- oops sorry-" he laughed loud enough to hear it echo causing her to grin, "No don't be sorry, I wholeheartedly agree."

Ironically as picky as he was with his family's partners, he was yours the second you called him Hun, he got flashes of your life together the longer you two spoke, in reality the conversation was maybe ten minutes but that was all he needed.

Charms his way into your number, starts bringing you lunch and offering to pick you up, then he's offering to take you to work, no matter how early you started.

"I don't wanna mess with your sleep hun, plus you'd have to drive all the way across town and then to my job-"

He'd squish your cheeks together to steal a kiss, "Nonsense Darling, you could just spend the night if you're so worried about me." And would you look at that you're spending the night like every other night.

He's dummy smooth, he has you practically moved in before you're one month anniversary, if anyone were to try and plant some poison in your head like "You guys are moving kinda fast" or "shouldn't you get to know him better?" They are quickly put on his shit list.

As quick to cut a bitch as our boy is, he's also smart, and knows if everyone in your family and immediate circle started dropping dead he'd have a problem, so instead he gaslight gatekeeps and girlbosses his way to victory.

It be almost like love bombing, except it never goes away, he only ever falls deeper in love with you as time goes on.

Walk him like a dog he needs it.

Wants to take you all over the world, loves the idea of boneing in every continent.

He's soo cuddly the type to text you when you're in the bathroom cuz he miss you :(

The kinda guy where if you send him a cute picture he responds with a video of him falling to his knees wherever he's at.

Loves being the little spoon, but when he's wasted he has a tendency to flop on top of you like a starfish before curling around you like a koala.

Mean mugs the shit outta any girl who looks at him bec tf I'm for MY babys eyes only >:(

Promise rings for your one month anniversary that have both your guy's blood in them. How he got it you'll never know but you're a weirdo just like him and instead of questioning it you bear hug him.

Fantastic kisser, knocks the breath outta you each time, please touch him while you make out, pull his hair he promises not to moan that loudly again. Scouts honor.

He's lying btw

He is the opposite of afraid to moan in your ear, they almost sound exaggerated but no he's really that loud.

[scolopendress-tag]

Have some Asra n Muriel disorganized headcanons: animal themed!

Asra's most likely to answer quetzal if you ask for his favourite bird (he had a close up encounter with one his first time in nopal and had never seen a bird like it so it's a special memory), but he also appreciates all others. He also loves dart frogs and his favorite reptile would of course be perfect lavender angel baby fictional fantasy pythons. I'd also see him loving dragonflies as well.

He will see literally any animal generally and always say "they're one of my favourites!", though. It doesn't matter how many times he's said it that day or how many animals he's said it about. It's almost without fail he'll point one out and say it's a favourite.

One of his favorite animals is always the one in front of him Right Now, as a quick reference.

Plus, he loves to point animals out on travels or when out and about Vesuvia, so get used to hearing it!

He may attempt to catch critters occasionally too, or just pick them up, these will be mostly bugs usually. He just likes to cup moths in his hand on occasion and the watch them flutter out and I think he should be allowed to! Or just cradle bugs in his palm and watch them walk around for a bit. If it's a reptile or amphibian somewhere it could get stepped on or dried out or eaten he will still scoop them up and carry them to the brush.

[Cont. after cut]

Nothing he ever handles seems to get too upset or stressed, even when it's an animal that otherwise would. They just seem to be more relaxed if it's Asra who's touching them. Sometimes reptiles just come up to him (or even crawl onto his hand, as a few lizards have,) curiously enough. Though they may still refuse to be touched even then, they're notably not bothered by his presence when for others they'd run away. It's not something Asra's ever noticed to be odd, nor would it be overly noticeable to most people, but it's definitely something you can recognize if you pay attention.

Asra would also love to run on the beach sometimes, namely as a kid, maybe making himself invisible or otherwise undetectable until he's right up on a big flock of seagulls before giving them a hearty boo! And watching them all fly away all giggly. As an adult he may still stir up flocks for fun sometimes, or just to see how pretty it is to watch them all fly at once.

In general he just loves watching birds or bugs or whatever be it fly, always so effortlessly. Maybe he wishes he could fly himself. It certainly would make things easier he would come to think time to time growing up in Vesuvia.

Plus, he likes to collect the feathers that flutter down. Back when he sold masks, they were something he incorporated into them often. Then, too, he would also sit by the river after wearing himself out practicing hydromancy or what not, and a few times dragonflies would perch on him. He'd always gasp n grin all big and goofy when they did.

Muriel doesn't pick favorites really when it comes to animals (barring wolves and bears), but he does mirror Asra's 'one of my favourites' statements by saying "they're one of Asra's favorites," Occasionally.

While Asra's animal encounters or observations are typically brief, Muriel is more than content to just watch animals long periods of time. He can spot or at least know where to find some seriously elusive ones. The only one such animal Asra seems to have luck like that with seems to be foxes.

If you want to see an animal, local to the area around Vesuvia namely, Muriel can probably help you with that, granted he trusts you. This includes dens, hives, and nesting sites of course, things he will stop by occasionally in his forest to check on. His luck/skill in finding these things can't seem to be mimicked by even the most skilled animal trackers, you'd think they were practically just showing themselves to only him.

Muriel is also content to let animals do their thing and not interact with them much. Birds, butterflies and similar may land on him occasionally and he's always enchanted by it though, and will make no move to prevent an animal being on or touching him. Similar to Asra, he will also remove any animals in bad spots and put them somewhere better. He's a bit more effective at this though, as he tends to be looking down anyways, while Asra has probably smooshed a few pillbugs and snails before while doing his own thing- eyes elsewhere.

If Muriel did ever nerf a bug accidentally he would probably feel pretty damn bad, and if it wasn't reduced to a mere smear he would return its poor bug corpse to nature so that it might reclaim it. He'd get over it quick though if he was in a good mood prior, just give him a moment. If he was upset over something else already and he killed one, I could see it even pushing him to tears or rather making it worse if he was already at that point.

Asra would probably be like 'awh.... :( oof, I'm sorry lil guy...' and sweep it into nature if he could, but otherwise he would not be impacted too much.

Asra would purposely kill bugs on a few occasions even, pest bugs namely - like flies or mosquitoes or, of course, plague beetles. He may even instinctively lash out and flatten a bug that simply resembles a plague beetle enough, particularly if something had his anxiety or panic (ptsd trigger from the plague??) going. Otherwise plague beetle resembling beetles he'd be a little unsettled by, or uncomfortable to be around, but not enough to necessarily kill. He'd either move it somewhere else, try to scare it off, or move away from it. Muriel doesn't have many hang ups on plague beetle resembling bugs, though he would probably kill the real deal readily.

Any dead animals not in a wild area (like left in the city or on a road,) Muriel would move as long as it wasn't yknow. Too nasty. Birds that hit windows, starved or sickly scavengers, anything that dropped in a heatwave or was claimed by a flood, things like that, recent deaths. It pains him to see at all, but pains him more to leave them just.... There. Some he may bury, others he may leave out in places where there's animals he know will take it for food.

Injured or sick animals Muriel would try to help best he could, and he's successfully done it a few times. If it's blistering hot he'd also likely leave water out here and there for the animals of the forest, and he may enlist Asra's help with this to replenish water in natural water basins as well in droughts.

Muriel can handle animal death okay, hunting and fishing is a thing he does to some degree, it's just the preventable or senseless ones that hurt, it's worth saying here. It's just sad. He'll be okay after though, unless there's something more nefarious and upsetting at play.

Asra helping unwell/hurt animals would mostly consist of magic healing, but beyond that he wouldn't know what to really do besides bring it to Muriel or any animal experts near him. He doesn't come across these situations too often thankfully, though. Domestic animals he would take in more readily, and would let crash at the shop for a while if he can. If it's a livestock animal he'll ask if Muriel wants to take it in, or even in the case of an ownerless pet animal. If not, he can ask around. See if anyone wants a new dog or cat or... Goat. I just imagine those are the kinds of animals he's most likely to find in need, being in the center of Vesuvia.

Moving on from that....

Animal knowledge!

Asra likely doesn't know a ton about animals outside of ones that feature prominently in magic and myth, he's just good at identifying them and overall tends to appreciate their presence. Identifying animals can make for good pass times on long travels, or if he just sees something particularly neat he may simply want to know what to call it. He also probably learned most the common local Vesuvian species names growing up, probably through reading, though the bulk of his knowledge of the nature he grew up around is probably botanical- foraging can be dangerous! Plus, magic knowledge probably leans more heavily on plants than animals as well.

If Asra can't identify an animal, though, he will simply make up a name for it on the spot. If he finds out it's ID later he will still refer to it as his made up name followed by AKA/sometimes called/locally known as [real name]. He also tends to refer to tons of animals as the infamous, famous, legendary, revered, etc. Regardless of relevance, commonality or obscurity. He just thinks they all deserve such titles, and when has a little flair ever hurt?

"Ah, MC, look! It's an Abramesmerwhymsical Zadithi midnight-billed stilt-wader! Though it's sometimes also known as the famous crab-plover," Kinda shit. He enjoys it.

Muriel doesn't actually know the actual names of a ton of animals species. He knows of a few though, not to mention the Asra-given names that stuck with him. Despite not knowing their names sometimes still, he can tell most all species apart readily, and juveniles from adults, males from females, things like that. He watches animals of the forest regularly and is in tune with the local species life cycles, breeding or rearing seasons, migratory patterns, unique behaviors and everything else. Though his knowledge is probably limited to Vesuvian species, he's able to quickly pick up on other animal's traits and such when outside of Vesuvian territory, and is generally good with animals as is.

He knows what doves/pigeons and owls and vipers and mice and geckos etc are. He may not know that a specific species of such is called like, namaqua doves, omani owls, ocellated mountain vipers, cario spiny mouse, kotschy's middle-toed geckos n shit. It's not like he has NO idea, species names are weird and can be long winded so....

...He just doesn't know that dunnocks aren't actually called stripple-caped tseepers.

But he doesn't need to. <3

If he does learn the real names for them though, he is quite glad and will use the name readily. If you're looking at a Muriel who's in the city more, he will probably read up on this information himself, but otherwise he would of course treasure it if MC told him.

The only reasons he doesn't even know the names to begin with is mostly because the names you'll hear out and about most commonly only cover a fraction of species to start, and everything else youre mostly going to have to study via reading or classes. Neither of those seem to be things a young homeless Muriel would care to pursue lmao.

Annnnd

I forgot what else I was going to add and lost track so, I'll maybe add more later. I'll probably also amend this as I may find I don't agree with my own statements the next day and also I don't proofread so. I hope u enjoyed these feel free to add on or add differing opinions!

Chloe does night-time diary posts on HER tumblr, so I'm going to start doing them here, sometimes. It would be nice if you read it, but, please, don't feel obligated! This is more for me to write.

(I got tired of my normal journal, I guess. It's full of bad poetry anyway. Besides, where's the thrill of losing anonymity in a physical notebook?)

I've basically been asleep and depressed for several days, because I had withdrawal after not being able to get my adhd meds. But, I got it today, and DID THINGS. (This is SO much better than before!)

Today, I went to a small café or restaurant (focused on tea) called Alice's Teacup that was Alice in Wonderland themed! My long-standing obsession with Alice in Wonderland knows no bounds. It was a really cute place. I got pumpkin pancakes, and some really good iced tea. Like... REALLY good iced tea.

Still, it seemed like the entire place was geared towards having a pot of tea and snacks with your friends, which left me a bit lonely. The person I asked couldn't come, and by the time I heard back, I was more than halfway there. Still, I read Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and watched Monty Python on my phone, so I still had a good time!

I dressed pretty eccentricly and effeminately all day, but, with my facial hair, I was ALWAYS coded as a man, even by people on the street! Pastels, a stupid hat, a crop top, and facial hair was a winning combination.

On my way, I was stopped by some guys soliciting for charity. I don't make a habit of stopping for strangers on the streets of Manhattan. What if it's a scam? What if I'm being pressured to buy something? What if it's a strange political rant? But, I had already taken my earbuds off, I wasn't in a hurry, and I'm terminally polite. The first guy said he liked my energy, which seemed to come from a genuine place, because I liked his too!

They were asking for donations for a breast cancer charity, the United Breast Cancer Foundation. After a discussion, it seems like the charity helps pay medical debt, medical bills, and other practical needs, which is much better than *some* others I could name. I regretted not being able to give their minimum there, as it was pretty high, but told them I'd give what I could when I got on the website.

I... did not. Money is tight, because I'm bad and irresponsible with money, even though this is more than a worthy cause. I didn't NEED to go to that tea place, and I don't NEED to spend so much money on food. Sure, I can justify it: I wanted to go to that place for so long, and it was near the college anyway! But, if I was responsible with money, you KNOW my friends direct fundraising drives would go first, worthy charities second. Still, I feel bad about it.

Then, I went to the college library, to get books to start my thesis research. I have literally been unable to go to the college itself, aside from getting my ID, so this was great! There just wasn't a reason. It was... very empty. I went to the library stacks, which was deathly quiet and deeply haunted by the old books. I half expected something to pop out at me, as I turned the stacks, but I wasn't even paranoid or anxious. It was like I was in something else's house. I was welcome, but on thin ice.

I picked up an irrelevant psychology book on the "schizophrenia problem" from the 1930s, out of morbid fascination, and quickly put it down when it threatened to shatter in my hands.

Some students walked past (which was a suprise in those monastic basement library stacks), and I added something to their conversation, in a totally natural and casual way. But, omg the poor girls, I made them jump! Luckily, I'm the least threatening person on earth, and we laughed it off.

After a lot of hunting, I got 5 out of my 10 books (for the most part)! (The rest are, sadly, online. I like to read physical copies.) Strangely, I only came in with a list to get 3 books out of 6.

Most of the books I got are about art in the AIDS crisis, which is the core of my thesis, I think, all with different value. One about exhibitions, one about the larger narrative of those gay artists, and another contradicting the larger narrative.

I also got a book about "Art and Homosexuality". Just, the parallel construction of both "art" and "homosexuality" across cultures and times, from earliest history to the modern age. It wasn't on my initial list, but I'm really excited to read it.

Finally, I got a book called "The Thief, the Cross and the Wheel", about the pain and spectacle of punishment in Medieval and Renaissance European art. I'm mainly interested in Italian Renaissance art of the crucifixion--and its masochism--for the second quarter of my thesis.

The rest are online, and Should mostly focus on Bacchus in the Italian Renaissance (especially through art) and what I call the art of "gay liberation", concurrent with the AIDS crisis (i.e. The Cockettes). These two topics make up the last half of my thesis.

I'm SO excited to get started!!

I even got to cross the college's sky-bridges! (The college is a few skyscrapers.) Still, the loneliness and novelty were kind of the same thought. Imagine if I had been here before COVID, or, if COVID hadn't happened. Who would I have been able to meet? What would the college buildings mean to me? Because, for now, they're just buildings. But, I got to see the street from above, and that was amazing!

Just walking through New York--the Upper East Side--on a cool, sunny day was beautiful. It takes 20-30 minutes to get from my place to the college (and the tea place), but it was great being able to listen to my music (a lot of They Might Be Giants on the playlist today) and see the city. You know, people, super cool old architecture being pushed out by terrible new architecture, and pigeons.

Oh my god, the pigeons. I took pictures, but none of them are good. I kept thinking about how pigeons and doves are functionally the same. We domesticated pigeons, which is why they're here, and no one is stopping to notice them? Even the ones that were splotched with pure white, like doves? There's only so many pigeons you can take until they're just white noise and a nuisance, I know, so don't think I'm blaming anyone! But it's so hard to look away from these quirky little birds.

Also, at one point my walk, I was vaping very strategicly. The mental task of searching through library stacks will do that to you, when you already have an addiction to nicotine. I made sure no one was around, and no one would be affected. I stopped on a corner next to an old, ornate Catholic church while the traffic light changed, and I almost juuled right next to a priest! I'm glad I stopped. I don't believe in Hell, but, I would have walked down there myself had I vaped at a priest. Still, the church advertised itself as LGBT+ friendly, so maybe they aren't so trigger happy on the damnation. Either way, I DIDN'T vape at a priest today, which is good.

Once I got back, I spent a few hours watching things with my amazing girlfriend Chloe, who you may know here as @cisphobiccommunistopinions. She is so beautiful, and I love her more every day, every time I see her. God, it's almost been 5 years!

I just wish I could spend more time with her. She's in Virginia, and I'm in New York. Like she said to me earlier, I'm flighty at the best of times, and, with my lack of object permanence for the digital world, I find myself not giving her the attention I deserve, or, the full connection I long to have with her. We used to live together. Luckily, someday we will live together again! All these problems won't be forever, and we can live together again.

We watched a lot of things, but we're pretty deep into Serial Experiments Lain right now. It's a postmodern anime from the 90s, and, wow, do I have no idea what's going on in it. It's about the internet, and potentially schizophrenia as well. However, I'm obsessed! One day I'll be able to crack this artistic code, and it's unreality, thematic knots, and double-meanings. I will probably understand it better on the second watch. I don't see myself in Lain, but I see my 14 year old self in her, when I had just developed schizophrenia. Her cyberpunk fate seems like it's railroaded towards tragedy, but I want to save her, even if it's silly and irrational.

I told Chloe that I was scared about spilling apple cider on my library books, and she referred to it as "The Great Apple Juice Disaster of September 11, 2021." To which I said that it was the second worst thing to happen in New York on that date. It was funnier if you were there, and also were in my brain at the time.

Anyway, tomorrow I'm meeting some online acquaintances from the college's "Queer Srudent Union" at a Japanese Culture Fair in a park. (I do not know which park.) It emphasizes "fun"! I don't know them very well, but they're friends with the one person I know irl, so it should be good.

Tomorrow night, I should Probably head downtown to check out a gallery show by MFA (masters of fine arts) students at Hunter! After all, I was in a group project with one of them, and they're absolutely brilliant. I missed the Thursday gallery opening by a landslide, because of the aforementioned lack of adhd meds and Being Asleep, which I infinitely regret. I could have listened to all the artists and curators talk about their art and exhibition! Maybe I could have even talked with the artists and curators. But, it's best for me to go sooner, rather than later, so I don't forget. And, I REALLY want to go.

It's "This dialogue which happened to be present in all other dialogues" at the Alyssa Davis Gallery. From the email I got, "Each of these works observes a threshold of transition. [...] [These] intimations [are] of a frame of mind shared by the artists. These works perform, record, access, engage, document, and entrap, embalming the viewer within the gallery space."

sgp is a really good artist, by the way. Their work is just next-level. Be sure to check out their art, if you have a chance. Let me link their portfolio: https://saragracepowell.com/

(I highly suspect spg and the other member of my group project ghosted me afterwards, but I understand. I was really in over my head. Still, they're both really sweet and kind people, don't get it twisted!)

I ALSO really want to see The Cake Boys. They're performing at the 3 Dollar Bill in Brooklyn on September 26th. (It's only $15!) They're the only all drag king collective in NYC! (Are... there any Other all drag king collectives out there?) Other than the fact that a lot of them are trans or nonbinary, which I love, this show is a totally non-judgmental competition for over 40 drag kings! I've heard their shows are hilarious and unique.

I just have to wait until I have $15 to spare. I... didn't eat dinner tonight, because I'm irresponsible with my money and don't want to ask my parents for money... again. Don't worry, it's literally fine, and I don't make a habit of doing this!

Which reminds me! For my birthday, my parents gave me a gift card to Lush! I'm definitely going to Lush tomorrow, which will be great. I would describe my personality as "Lush store employee acosting you about a bath bomb demonstration", so I'll fit right in.

I also made a transition timeline, to show how much I've changed on testosterone. For the better, I hope! I really believe I'm becoming, if not Have Become, the man I was always meant to be. It's so strange to look back at who I was not too long ago, and to know the absolute pain I was in. It's also strange, in a good way, to see the man looking back at me in the selfies. I'm so much happier now! Much more candid in my pictures, at least. But, I know that I'm so much more comfortable as myself than I was even 6 months ago. It's strange. Sometimes I think to myself, "I don't pass yet; I'm not who I Need To Be yet." Then, I look at my selfie from today, and... I'm THERE. My mind just hasn't caught up with my amazing, natural, normal reality.

The end. I have to get ready for bed, (even though I could be partying on a Saturday night in the city. I'm lame.) If you actually read this, I am kissing you on the mouth right now. I hope it made you calm down tonight, like a terrible bedtime story. If you didn't read it and just skipped to the end, don't worry: you did the rational thing.

Headcannon/Au Drabble

Kirishima is standing too close to a villain when Bakugou detonates a viscous blast, not taking into consideration that he couldn’t harden everything immediately without fair warning. Kirishima ends up going deaf because of the close proximity.

Nitroglycerin is addtictive, therefore? Midoriya has been around Bakugou the longest (excluding his parents which would have been warned by a doctor awhile ago) and is probably addicted to it despite Bakugou’s many attempts to keep their distance. Midoriya is just a crackhead.

Shigaraki was never able to play patty cake as a kid and that’s depressing in itself.

Ship hc: Person A plays video games with friends and wears a headset. Person B doesn’t play but likes wearing a pair and sitting in their S/O’s lap while talking with everyone.

The Joker/Harley Q trope for a couple dynamic is really valid in many BNHA ships. Person A and B are very capable heroes/people that know how to defend themselves but like to call their S/O in times of trouble. Person A is stopped by a bad guy and calls out for Person B with pure enjoyment for what is about to go down. All the villain hears is loud banging as B gets closer.

Bakugou is actually really amazing at doing makeup and hairstyles, along with doing nails. I’m going to say he learned most of that from self taught occasions, his mom, maybe some aunts and Best Jeanist. ANYWAY, all the class girls love to ask Bakugou for some pampering whenever they can. They always win him over after the fifth or sixth time they beg or give some sort of puppy eyes but Bakugou would never admit to actually liking doing those things.

Kirishima is the type of guy friend to carry pads/tampons in his bag at all times just incase any of the girls may need emergency supplies. He may go as far as bringing Tylenol or even an extra hoodie.

Bakugou owns a lot of house plants, and for many reasons. He’s the best and pretty smart which means he’s eco friendly. What does eco friendly entail? Going green! I hc that he probably refused to show his room because it’s completely jungled out (or full of cute plants and fancy pots). Based on his personality and my own projection, he’d like a plant that isn’t too demanding on care but I doubt he’d mind a challenge. Maybe a handful of succulents and a good amount of cacti- throwing in some Devil’s Ivy and a cute palm tree. Bakugou could spend hours tending to them, watering and building a nice ledge to rest them on just before his window. Indulging in new pots and fancy equipment for the sake of being extra. It’s all about the principle really. Plants produce oxygen, not to mention that some are really good for health as well.

BAKUGOU IS TRANS (but I would never press that on anyone)

Deaf Bakugou?? At a young age when Bakugou was first starting to learn about his quirk, he unleashed a very large, uncontrolled explosion way too close to his ears. That resulted in him becoming completely deaf in one ear and partially in the other.

Shouto is partially blind/visually impaired/completely blind in his right (left??) eye thanks to the BOILING HOT WATER being poured on his EYE. You can’t tell me homeboy didn’t get some sort of damage done from that besides some gnarly burns.

Kaminari has ADHD

Kirishima is extremely roudy and wild, also gay. Very gay.

Kirishima is trans (there are many things that point to this conclusion). Such as: If a transmasc got top surgery, he wouldn’t wear a fucking shirt again either. Talking manly and wanting to be manly is like the basis of what trans guy are working on. And the whole thing about him being gay? Is he really attracted to them or does he want to be them????

They aren’t allowed to have animals in the dorms despite a lot of begging done by all. However, Bakugou decided to say fuck you to the rule and has a bunch of animals in his room. Now. He gets away with it for a few reasons. 1) He isn’t loud about it, doesn’t go around showing them off or boasting like usual. Won’t bring them out of the dorm or let anyone see when he brings supplies back. 2) No one would suspect Bakugou to be such an animal lover or one to break that rule. Sad to say, he does. Many times over the course of high school, in fact. What animals could he possibly have? HMmMm let’s think, shall we? No doubt a hamster, a real grumpy one though. It has to have personality. A Bearded Dragon, Ball Python, a few Corn snakes. Maybe a gecko. But you have to believe he has a cat too. There is no way he wouldn’t. A furry brat that keeps him company while he studies and works out? Jumping on his back as he does yoga and sleeps on his face at night. There is no way. The best part is that the cat is deaf, which is why he adopted it. He went in looking for another lizard and came out with a sassy feline with no hearing. So what? He went soft.

Midoriya would be the first to go to jail between him and Bakugou. Hands down. Think about it... He broke numerous laws just to get a friend back and had no guilt for it. He was just all ‘Ehh, what you gonna do about it?’ when the fuzz pulled up to press charges. Bakugou is just crass and volatile, he threatens to kill people... but has he ever been seen killing someone? In conclusion, Midoriya is a delinquent covered up by his positive cinnamon bun nature.

Alright, personal projection time!! Kirishima bites and chews ice cream. Denki eats soup with a straw. Shouto eats cereal with a fork, “What? I don’t like too much milk. It strains out this way.”. Bakugou is just as bad, he’s a teenager and will do shit just because. Aka, he will go down to the kitchen in the middle of the night for some milk n cookies. When he realizes there is no more milk, he will throw a silent fit because he wanted those damn cookies. Begrudgingly though, he will pour a glass of water and dunk his Oreos in then eat em like that. I don’t make the rules, it’s just what happens.

Bakugou needs constant love and constant positive reinforcement along with help on his anxiety. Give that boy a service dog. A big fluffy golden service dog. A really large, extremely fluffy service down he can hug and hide his face in whenever something is bothering him. A real big puppy that makes him feel secure and makes him laugh. Damn it! Give him a dog now!

Kirishima is rowdy and wild. Baby boy is a teenager. Not to mention is invisible and hyped up on manly shit. THERE IS NO BOUNDS FOR WHAT HE WOULD DO. Think about it. He’d literally card Todoroki into setting him on fire just to see how long he can hold his hardening for. He would have Inasa drop him from the FUCKING SKY just for the hell of it. Hello? Is this thing even on? Kirishima is wild.

Dabi is afraid of spiders. Don’t ask me to elaborate. He just seems like a man with that primal fear.

BAKUGOU IS A FUCKING FASHION ICON OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL. SO FUCKING HELP ME I WILL SCREAM THIS LOUD N PROUD—

Bakugou and Midoriya don’t know how to tie a tie. Midoriya learned that weird funky napkin trick shit from just giving the fuck up and saying “Oh, hey! That looks sorts similar!” And went with it. Bakugou just can’t. He can’t. The only reason his ID shows him with a tie is because Mitsuki tied it for him before hand, and he never let it happen since. They are hopeless. That is all.

[phantaloon-books]

I finally read The Tyrant's Tomb and boi I loved this one so much, so here's some my opinion on it (they're not in chronological order)

warning, this is long af and sorry for cursing a bit, I can't help it

Apollo's character arc is lowkey one of the best Rick has written, I'm sorry if you don't agree, but he's gone from wanting others to solve his problems and relying on the halfbloods to intentionally avoiding others doing things for him, volunteering for the quests and saying it should be him that faces the terrible stuff so that demigods and other creatures don't suffer

something really interesting is how his perception of himself has changed, and it's almost worrying how genuinely self depreciating his inner dialogue is, because he no longer sees himself as mighty Apollo, he sees himself as worthless and useless Lester, and his narration is highkey depressing

Also, Apollo disliking and being somewhat disgusted of the god he used to be, realizing the horrible things he had done and how horrible he was and that he looked worse as the former Apollo than as Lester, regretting things he'd done, that's top tier development

(I'm sorry but I love the entire scene with the ravens, the part where he just screams "I'm sorry" it feels as if he isn't just apologizing to the ravens, but to everyone who's been affected by what he's done as a selfish god)

Reyna so openly turning down and laughing at Apollo for suggesting they be together is my favorite thing ever lmao I couldn't stop laughing, like she knew what gods can do if you turn them down (even if it was just mortal Lester) and she didn't give a damn, it was so fucking funny

people say Rick only includes diversity for the sake of including it and to gain popularity, but I still enjoy the fact that he does, because as a teacher he must have had all kinds of students of all religions, colors and sexualities, he includes diversity because he's seen diversity. anyway my point is I love that we have Lavinia, a Jewish lesbian from a Russian family, and she's not ashamed of being any of them

I'm sorry I just love Apollo so much, I've grown to respect him so much, and even if Hermes once said them gods often forget their oaths and promises, I have a feeling Apollo won't ever forget Jason's request that he never forgets what's it like to be mortal

Frank still admiring Apollo despite everything, and despite the fact that he looks like a messed up teen makes me go all uwu

Frank being portrayed as this clumsy and awkward kid but also this powerful and brave leader is my favorite thing ever because I think Frank is underrated and I dare to say that he's one of the strongest demigods we've ever met, even stronger than some of the nig three children

the whole thing about the undead army is honestly so creepy, especially when we see it from Apollo's perspective cause se him slowly succumb to the venom's effect, and that part in Tarquin's tomb where he "calls Lester to be part of his undead" was genuinely disturbing, at least to me

some books in the past have touched the part of the nature spirits not being given enough attention, but I really enjoyed how Apollo comes to realize that he only worries about demigods and gods when all lives are worth the same - mortals, halfbloods, nature spirits, gods, and even monsters

again, I love Apollo's arc, it's just AHH he's becoming so caring of life it just makes me happy

Reyna choosing herself to make herself happy is everything, and inspiring to every single woman who is told by others that they need someone to be happy, I just love it, because self love is the most important love of all

I haven't said anything about it, but man I love Meg and Apollo's friendship, they just care so much for each other, Meg who's so scared of losing her loved ones and Apollo who's so scared of not being able to be loved or to love, but they still love each other, and I'm glad it's not romantic, because yes fraternal love is also what people need, and their friendship is what they need

aurum and argentum being cute doggos rather than the steely (no pun intended) and cold dogs we met in HoO warms my heart. I don't understand why they're so cute and adorable, or maybe that's just how Apollo sees them, but they seem to act like actual dogs in this book

the fact that Reyna never confirmed nor denied being attracted to Thalia just makes me all hyped up, like we love Theyna

Apollo just gives off Eddie Brock vibes throughout the entire book and that's hilarious asf. ever since the start he's said to look like shit, feel like shit and be injured with deathly poison that will turn him to a zombie. if that isn't Venom vibes I don't know what is

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Frank Zhang is one of the strongest demigods Rick has ever introduced in a series, and him facing two immoral and godly in power emperors, burning one to death with his own life fire and injuring the other enough for Apollo to do the final kill is top tier

"If I'm going to burn, I might as well burn bright. This is for Jason." bitch actual goosebumps

We've seen countless deaths before, but something about Frank killing Caligula and Apollo killing Commodus seems so... mature I guess is the word, or well for a more mature audience. I can't describe how or why, but it feels more real, more like actual human death

I can't deal with how human Apollo seems in this book gosh I really am sorry I keep bringing this up, but I feel such warmth

the story of how Frank overcame his curse is actual BS and as much as I love Frank, it makes no sense that they spent all that time thinking of ways to keep the wood secure only for this. idk I mean id that were the case wouldn't the curse had vanished when he broke Thanatos free? he was willing to die then just like against Caligula, so why now but not then?

Don reincarnating into a laurel is peak bittersweet feeling and it actually hurt because in a camp where fauns were seen as dumb and useless, he helped Lavinia organize everything and destroy the canon things on the yachts

I'm still not over Jason's death, he really did deserve better. It makes sense, plotwise, because out of all of the huge characters from the past, Jason, Percy and Annabeth's deaths would impact others the harder, and push them to do better. And I understand that you gotta show, not even the main characters survive sometimes. Still, I'm hurt.

Thalia talking to Apollo during the funeral for the fallen campers made me actually weep. I'm not sure if it was because of Jason, or when Thalia talked about how much Artemis loves Apollo, or when Apollo "accepted" halfblood children of Zeus as his family

Also, you know who deserved better? Harpocrates, damn right he deserved better. I nearly cried when I read his death, cause he embraced it like one would an old friend in happiness. He and the Sybil deserved better. Dakota also deserved better

On the other hand, I tried so hard not to laugh at 2 am as I read Tarquin demand answers from a cat? he genuinely thought a cat would tell him where the Sybilline Books where and I couldn't handle that

This book is cruel but in a much more human way? The maiming of the pegasi wings? that's horrifying, but in such a human way, unlike what we've seen in any of the greek/roman gods series, and it's unsettling

Meg is braver than any of the other demigods were at that age (maybe excepting Nico), cause she's not embarking on a quest to retrieve an item or rescue someone or bring back their sister from the dead, she's facing her own abusive father while aiding a somewhat weak mortal in releasing the oracles and gaining godhood back. what's she getting from it all? absolutely nothing, she's gifted some seeds and she hangs out with unicorns more than other people and she's lost everything, but she's willing to lose more to help her friend. she's heroic like no one else is, because she's the first who doesn’t want anything more than being with her friend (Percy wanted whoever was taken back, Annabeth wanted to be able to be more, Nico wanted to bring back Bianca, even Bianca wanted freedom). the only other person who didn't have somewhat selfish (but kot wrong) interests while doing something heroic at a young age has been Hazel. What I mean is I love Meg and everything she does

Thalia being that chill over Jason's death bothers me so much, as if she wasn't the happiest when she found out the brother she lost 14 years ago was alive after all, and she had a part of her family back, and it was ripped from her, and Thalia is just not one to easily forget or move on from things, it's just unrealistic that she would only need a little furious session of throwing things to be okay with Jason's death as if her brother was not just taken from her all over again. it's impulsive Thalia we're talking about, who fought Percy when dealing with Annabeth going missing, it's just not her to be over his death that quickly. Sorry for Rick but I think differently

I also kinda don't like that Tyson went from being freaking General of the Cyclops, to the guy that has the Sybilline prophecies or whatever, it's important and all, but he would have been of great help during the battle and they had him waiting for help in the shrine hill like his potential went down the drain

but a thing I really loved was how different Camp Jupiter seems from Lester eyes compared from Percy's or Hazel's or Frank's perspective, it's hilarious. The other three see this place where everyone is serious and shit but Apollo just sees beyond the seriousness and it's actually refreshing, cause he's the first not to make CHB seem immature in comparison and like I said before I hated that in previous books

also Reyna laughing watered my plants, cured my depression, and made the world okay again, I just love her

all in all, this is my favorite book of ToA so far, and I'm really excited to see what's to come, and how Apollo and Meg will face Nero and Python, but more  than anything I'm looking forward to what will happen to Apollo, and whether if given the choice, he'd go back to being a selfish god or remain mortal for a while, with his newfound friends

Also I really miss Annabeth so can I please see Annabeth, I just want to see her cause she won't deal with Apollo's shit and I can't wait to see that, I miss my girl

Noteworthy PHP Development Tools that a PHP Developer should know in 2021!

Hypertext Preprocessor, commonly known as PHP, happens to be one of the most widely used server-side scripting languages for developing web applications and websites. Renowned names like Facebook and WordPress are powered by PHP. The reasons for its popularity can be attributed to the following goodies PHP offers:

Open-source and easy-to-use

Comprehensive documentation

Multiple ready-to-use scripts

Strong community support

Well-supported frameworks

However, to leverage this technology to the fullest and simplify tasks, PHP developers utilize certain tools that enhance programming efficiency and minimize development errors. PHP development tools provide a conducive IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that enhances the productivity of PHP Website Development.

The market currently is overflooded with PHP tools. Therefore, it becomes immensely difficult for a PHP App Development Company to pick the perfect set of tools that will fulfill their project needs. This blog enlists the best PHP development tools along with their offerings. A quick read will help you to choose the most befitting tool for your PHP development project.

Classic trope #7

#7: Fake relationship AU (An art auction gone wrong) Listened to Bad Guy by Ellie while writing this.

“Francis you told me he wasn’t going to be here -” Arthur hissed under his breath while nervously fiddling with the cuff links in his suit jacket. Emerald eyes darting around - looking for any possible escape exits. A frown forming on his face while he heard the frenchmen next to him start muttering curses under his breath. “Mon Ami I did not know - the police weren’t supposed to have any interest in this auction. Merde-” Quickly Francis turned around to stand in front of Arthur, being only slightly taller than the other had some advantages but this arrangement wouldn’t last long. “Listen to me Arthur - I will distract him for as long as I can but you need to find a way out. There might be a door leading out to the alleyways in the back of the theater but it’s my best guess.” Violet eyes turned to the side looking behind him, only to lock on with bright sapphires. “Arthur - go now.” Francis hissed out.

Without hesitation Arthur turned on his heel and walked away from Francis. With practiced ease the gentlemen made his way through the crowd into the thick of the auction. His eyes roaming over all sorts of art pieces from rare paintings to valuable gems - all items that should’ve been ripe for the picking.

“Damn it.” He grunted under his breath. “Officer Jones, you are becoming a thorn in my side that I need to remove.” Arthur scanned the room, locating a couple of doors that resembled employee entrances to the back of the theater - he’ll have to test his luck with one of them. Noticing some movement out of the corner of his eye spurred Arthur into walking faster - someone was getting closer.

A gasp escaped Arthur’s lips as he was harshly tugged to the side - emerald eyes meeting sapphire in shock. Before Arthur even had a chance to pull away he was being dragged towards the edge of the crowd. “Mr. Arthur Kirkland. A pleasure seeing you here of all places - I thought you were supposed to be in Europe right now hm?” A deep boston accent chuckled. Arthur’s frown deepened - resisting as much as possible but without being too obvious to draw attention to themselves.

“Officer Jones.” Was all Arthur responded with - eyes roaming up and down the officers figure with a glare. The officer was dressed handsomely, an italian cut royal blue suit - detailed with golden thread. Black leather shoes to match black glasses that framed the american’s face. Blonde hair combed back neatly, held with some kind of hair product that gave the officer the look of a wealthy millionaire. Arthur’s eyes widened when he ran right into the american’s side as they stopped abruptly - using this chance to try and pull himself free but Arthur knew he would never be a match for the american’s strength. Looking up instead - Arthur’s gaze rested upon another gentleman that had blocked the officers path. What surprised Arthur was the size difference between the two - where officer Jones stood a good 5-6inches taller than Arthur, this mysterious figure was even taller. While Officer Jones could easily be compared to a simple quarterback - the second male was a god damn linebacker.

“Excuse me handsome, but I have to kindly ask you to let go of my husband before things ugly.” Ruby eyes narrowed down at sapphire - arms crossed behind his back. A Silver mask resting neatly on his face, framing the sharpness of the figure's jaw while a set of freckles dotted could be seen peeking out from under the mask. His body is framed in a beautiful dark red suit with silver threading detailing the edges of the suit jacket. Slowly, he moved to reach a hand out towards Arthur. “Come now Arthur, I’ve been wondering where you’ve been - I have our seats ready for the auction.” Officer Jones outright snarled at the man. “Look buddy I have no idea who you are but I know damn well you are lying.” The blonde moved to reach into his pocket and pulled out his id. “Office Jones of the FBI, I suggest you step aside now before-” A grunt escaped the officer when the man in the red suit suddenly stepped forward jabbing something into Officer Jones stomach - slowly leaning forward only a couple of inches away from Jones’s face.

“I won’t tell you again officer - unhand my husband or things will get ugly.” A low growl was heard from the gentlemen in red. This gained the attention from some of the crowd members but they quickly looked away, Arthur noticing this as confusion spread across his face.

Slowly the grip lessened on Arthur’s wrist - giving him the freedom he needed to pull away, only to have another arm wrap around his waist and pull him right back into another strong grip. Arthur twisted to free himself again only to notice he was now pulled tightly against the man in red.

“Gentlemen - I’m feeling merciful tonight. Would you please escort this man back to his car? I think he’s had a little too much to drink tonight. Do make sure he doesn’t come back to harass my husband again or there will be consequences.” The arm tightened even more around Arthur’s waist, causing the smaller british man to let out a grunt of pain - this caused the arm to loosen instantly but still tight enough to keep him in place.

That’s when Arthur noticed the three men in black suits that had surrounded Officer Jones, who was swaying where he stood - a hand pressed into his stomach in pain. He was silently dragged away back into the crowd. When Arthur’s eyes could no longer make out the officer’s silhouette in the crowd, he turned his gaze to the male he trapped against only to notice the man in red had been staring down at him the entire time. “Do not worry about your friend Francis - he is safe.” A grin spread across the males face. “It’s an honor to finally meet you Arthur Kirkland - or should I say the famous ‘Emerald Lion’.” Arthur gasped, the strength of the grip around his waist returning as a second hand grabbed Arthur’s chin - lifting it to lock eyes once more.

“My name is Alejandro Jones - or more formerly the ‘Ruby Python’. You may know of me - FBI’s number 1 most wanted criminal hm? Ah ringing a bell isn’t it.” He laughed, slowly letting go of Arthur’s chin - Alejandro started walking while dragging Arthur with him.

“I’ve been watching you for a while now and let's just say I am very interested in your work.” Slowly Arthur was led towards the side of the theater - being ushered up a set of stairs  to the VIP seating for the auction. A set of curtains were opened and the two stepped past out onto one of the many balonices in the upper sections of the theater - the curtains slowly closed leaving the two in privacy up on the third floor - looking down upon the other patrons of the auction moving to their seats on the floor below them.

Arthur was offered a seat at a table in front of them - the table held some food and a bottle of wine. Slowly the male took the offered seat, watching with a curious gaze as Alejandro sat next to him. Arthur was terrified - but like hell would he let the other male know his inner turmoil.

Arthur’s face was dusted with a shade of red when Alejandro reached over to grab one of Arthur’s hands that was in his lap. Alejandro leaning over to place a kiss to each one of Arthur’s knuckles. “Now, to business. I have a need for your skill with gems - if you help me I have access to methods of getting The Emerald Unguentarium. I know you’ve been having your eyes on that for a long time now.  Along with that you will also become my husband -” “What?!” Arthur hissed at this. “You - No! I won’t be forced into something like that. Are you insane?”. With a grunt Arthur tried to pull his hand away only to notice the grip Alejandro had was most definitely stronger than anything Officer Jones had.

A dangerous grin spread across Alejandro’s face as he leaned in, his hand never letting go of Arthurs. “Either you will accept my terms Mr.Kirkland - or you and Francis will not leave this auction alive.”
