Glacier National Park Alpine Meadow Wildflowers by Mark Via Flickr: Alpine Meadow and Iceberg Creek Near Iceberg Lake Glacier County, Montana (Glacier National Park) Accessed via the Iceburg Lake Trail Date taken: August 12, 2016 I've spent some time this year working on becoming a more intuitive photographer; the practice of intentional wandering I often joke. During a recent photo tour with Timescapes (Bernard Chen) at Glacier National Park in Montana I had an opportunity to really engage that practice. Our group woke in the dark of night and made an overnight trek to Iceberg Lake, a wonderful and worthy setting for first light. Arriving before sunrise, we had a bit of time to explore before the first rays of sunlight hit the towering stone walls. The obvious subject was iceberg lake; the story was the icebergs; the interpretation was literal--this was Glacier National Park. There was plentiful room for artful interpretation as well: the warmth of the sun against the cold of the ice; or perhaps even the melting of the ice and the fact that Glacier is forecast to no longer have Glaciers in the near future. There was beauty, there was power, there were messages to be communicated at Iceberg Lake. Iceberg Lake was spectacular in all regards, entirely foreign to my Appalachian experiences. The beauty was undeniable. But, I was being pulled elsewhere. And instead of forcing the shot I knew that I was supposed to get (sunrise at Iceberg Lake), I let "it" happen. I started intentionally wandering. I began hiking away from Iceberg Lake and the shot I knew I was supposed to be concentrating on. The experience was something kin to piecing together a puzzle, slowly finding and placing one small piece after another, each bringing broader understanding of the whole: an alpine bog reflecting beautiful skies (click), a meadow of flowers with the neatest crooked trees (click), a waterfall, a tarn (click, click). The further I walked away from where I was supposed to be the more amazing stuff I seemed to find. In the rush of the whole thing, I actually got worried that the group might have been waiting on me so I rushed back. Did I make the right decision to abandon the pre-determined subject, Iceberg Lake? I don't know. Probably not. But, I had a blast. And when I think of Glacier I think about wandering about behind the lake in the alpine meadows. If I return again in the future, I want to go back to this particular area and likely do the same thing again. So, I guess in that regard, I did what was right for me.

CREEK THE FRACTURED BUT WHOLE BREAKUP
Tumblr media
The FACT that the only people in town who were upset by their "second" breakup was 1) Tweek 2) Craig 3) Both's parents because they were worried about their sons.
NOT THE WHOLE TOWN.
They had NO REASON to go back to being in a fake romantic relationship. The pressure wasn't there anymore. The town didn't care anymore.
So when they made up, they both got their good friend back but also unnecessarily made up as a romantic couple. Why do that?
BECAUSE IT WASN'T FAKE ANYMORE.

Btw I'm like. Staring so hard at the greenery around that tomb you found. I didn't realize Israel had so much cool plant life :0
Israel has like a bajilion (3) biomes that also contain sort of "sub biomes"! We got mountains and (some) snow in the north (Golan and Galielee regions), hill country and steppe land in the center-east, Mediterranean shores stretching from north to south and 2 types of desert (semi arid - arid)! What I like about finding archaeology is that itll always be covered in some type of overgrown shrub, adds to the mystery!
From my own personal collection:

Cave-y mountains in the Upper Galilee

Tumblr media

Characters: Stiles Stilinski, Scott McCall, Reader/Sadie McCall, Lydia Martin, Liam Dunbar, Allison Argent, Melissa McCall.
Pairing: Stiles Stilinski and Reader
Summary: Tensions are running high when you discover more than you had ever imagined has happened over the past few months. What you do discover after all this time might only be the tip of the iceberg.
A/N: Hey guys, so this is part two! Thank you to everyone who has read/liked/commented on the first chapter I appreciate it more than you know! This chapter is a little more angsty than the last so I hope you enjoy it, had to bring in momma McCall for this one! Enjoy, and let me know what you think! :D
Chapter 2 - Too Much
The drive back home is silent, the air thick with tension. Almost like nobody dares to speak a word. Stiles flexes his fingers and they move further up your thigh. You have to fight your body's reaction to squirm against the onslaught, you want him closer and you want him to stop all at the same time. You bite your lip when his long fingers brush against the edge of your panties. Fighting every instinct currently battling it out in your psyche, you close your legs, trying to focus on the road ahead, rather than the insatiable man beside you.
Your eyes snap toward Stiles when you hear a deep and pleased rumble coming from him, as he buries his nose in your neck his lips slowly make their way up. Not stopping until his teeth are nibbling at your ear. You can taste the slight hint of blood on your tongue as you continue to bite back the whimper of want building in the back of your throat. Suddenly though, you lose control when his fingers brush against the dampened lace of your panties.
“Is that all for me? So fucking wet,” Stiles rasps his voice almost a growl, as his teeth drag across your ear lobe and another whimper leaves your now parted lips. 
“Stiles. Stop, for fuck’s sake,” Scott growls, and you swear that you hear the creek of the steering wheel beneath his grip.
Stiles either doesn’t care what your brother has to say or he just simply doesn’t listen. The next thing you know his lips have dropped to your neck once again, and he’s sucking what you have to assume is going to be a mark into your neck. He releases the skin with a gentle nip of his teeth and he groans when his fingers push your panties to the side, no doubt happy to finally get to your bare skin. You suddenly forget where you are and who you’re with. You can’t explain it, but the next thing you know you’ve parted your thighs, and you’re rolling your hips to get closer to him.
“You want me to make it all better, beautiful?” he growls, dragging two long fingers through your slick.
“Please, Stiles. I need it,” you whimper as those fingers slowly but firmly circle your clit.
“So fuckin’ wet. All fucking mine.” He moans as your fingers wrap around his wrist and you push his hand closer to you. Letting out a shuddered moan when his fingers move to your opening.
“Right. That’s it, I’ve had enough.” Scott snaps, and Stiles pulls you against him right as Scott slams on the breaks.
Stiles grins at you as he slips his fingers between his lips, your gaze is glued to him as he sucks those fingers between his plump lips and moans in pleasure.
Suddenly the back door opens, and it’s almost ripped off of the hinges, you’re dragged from the car by Lydia, apparently you had made it home.
“Hey Lyd’s,” you grin at her dreamily, letting her tug you further away. Leaving just enough room for Scott to barge in.
“Hey Mini, hell of a night, huh?” She smiles, wrapping an arm around you, probably worried you still can’t stand up properly. In truth she’s not totally wrong. 
You wince as Scott drags Stiles from the car and roughly slams him against the side of it. 
Suddenly it's like you’re doused in reality, as your lust fades a little further into the background. Leaving it so that you’re able to focus once more on your surroundings. What you see leaves your mouth open in shock. Lydia takes your hand and gently squeezes it, while you both watch the scene unfold, but the shock of what you are watching leaves you unable to squeeze back.
Because it looks as if Stiles is fighting against Scott, and Scott doesn’t exactly appear to be finding it very easy to keep Stiles in place. You can’t see Stiles’ face, but you can see Scott’s red Alpha eyes reflected in the window of the car. The sudden roar that cuts through the air even has you scared. You haven’t heard your brother this angry in a long time, and even Lydia flinches beside me as instinctively pulls me closer, while the other wolves bow their heads in submission to their Alpha. 
Your hold on Lydia’s hand would be painful for most people, luckily you know she can take it. Scott’s forehead presses against Stiles' as they seem to have a quiet conversation, so that nobody can hear. There’s a collective sigh of relief when Scott steps back and releases Stiles, leaving him to sag back against the car. 
However, then the confusion is back for you. The humiliation of what you’d let Stiles do to you in front of everyone in that car, including your big brother, his best friend. You can feel the deep blush as it covers your body. You need to get out of here, you take Lydia by surprise when you yank your hand free from hers, slowly stepping back away from the scene and everyone involved. Almost as one everyone turns to look at you, and your heart hammers painfully in your chest. A tear rolls down your cheek, you just don’t understand, what the hell is going on? 
In the right place at the right time, maybe you’d have gone there with Stiles, but not that fast, and certainly not the two places where things had happened tonight. It was almost as though you had no control of your actions, no control of your own body or mind.
“Sadie? Hey, it’s okay. This isn't your fault, none of it is. Just come inside, I think we should all talk.” Scott sounds so sincere, not one look of judgement on his face, he’s stepping closer slowly, like you’re a wounded animal that he’s scared will run if given the opportunity.
The tears are falling now, thick and fast, but you don’t dare to look anywhere that isn’t your brother. Too scared of what you might see on his friends' faces. There’s one direction in particular that you can’t even consider glancing in, because you’re terrified of the look of regret that will be on his face. 
You continue to step back though, you need to be anywhere but here and quickly. Your heart is aching painfully, you don’t know what to do, your head hurts so much right now.
“Please, dont,” Scott practically begs, his big brown eyes meeting yours, but when he takes another step towards you, you do the only thing you can. You run.
You don’t even know where you’re going, unable to think straight or see very well in the dark you simply take off. Scott knows you well enough to know that if he follows you, you wouldn’t want to talk about anything right now. So all you hear as you run is your own heartbeat thundering in your ears and the wind whipping around you as you sprint faster than you have in years. You don’t stop until your legs and lungs are burning, only stopping to rest against the railing by the lake. Letting your head rest on your arms, sucking in air the best you can.
When you finally have your breathing under control, you stumble back into the bench behind you and sink into it with a thud. Tilting your head back, you look up at the stars, wishing that anything about tonight had made any sense. 
Your lifelong crush had made out with you, in fact you’d even taken things to the next level. You can’t help but think that you should be happy. But so many things about tonight don’t make any sense, and you hate it. You need this night to make sense. You can’t forget the look of desperation on Stiles’ face when it had just been the two of you, even if he liked you a lot, that look, you just don’t understand it completely. You’d known him your entire life and he had never once looked at you that way. It was almost like he was terrified you’d turn him away, even more than you’d been that he would do the same to you. Then there’s that word he’d growled before he’d pounced on you. Mate. What the hell did that mean? Not to mention that purple glow his eyes had. Once you have chalked it up to a trick of the light or something, but you had seen it alot more than once. 
Before you can drive yourself insane you hear the crunch of leaves behind you, and you jump up and spin around. But your anger very quickly deflates when you see the one person who always knows how to make everything better. “Mom? What are you doing out here?” you ask in an almost broken whisper. Trying to keep your voice even, though you know it’s pointless, she knows you too well. Not to mention that the person who had sent her here would’ve told her everything anyway.
“Baby, come on. You know better than to try that around me,” she smiles gently, pulling you into her arms as soon as she’s close enough. 
You sag against her as she wraps you in her arms, burying your face into her shoulder and the tears come once again. She doesn’t even try to stop the tears, only holds you tighter, until they stop on their own. 
When you’ve finally stopped shaking she leads you over to the bench, and you take a seat before she turns you around to face her.
“You want to talk about it, sweetheart?” 
“I dunno if I can. I mean this isn’t exactly normal stuff. Even if it was and I wanted to talk, this is why I should have a friend to talk to, but since Callie. I just can’t,” you sniff, trying to block out memories of your best friend. 
Callie had been killed last year, thankfully nothing to do with werewolves or the supernatural. Not that it would have made much difference, she was still gone. You missed her like crazy, she knew everything about you and your crazy mixed up family, it never scared her away, she was always there, no matter what was happening. Until that one night. It felt as though your heart had been ripped out when you’d received the news. It still does when you think about it for too long.
“Hmm, I guess you’re right. Though part of this is perfectly normal, honey. I know you’ve always had a soft spot for Stiles. I can just listen if you want? You can leave out anything you don’t want to tell me,” she smiles, nudging you gently with her shoulder when you look at her, your face unable to hide the shock that she knew.
“How did you..?”
“How did I know about Stiles?” she chuckles quietly, cupping your cheeks so that you meet her eyes.
“Because, not to be a cliche, but I am your mother.” she winks at that, making you smile, then she shrugs and wraps her arm around your shoulders, “and honestly, I think the only people who didn’t know were Scott and Stiles. Those boys, I swear they haven’t changed since they were kids.” 
That fond smile on her face is one you can’t help but share, with a defeated sigh you meet your mothers eyes.
“I know you won’t tell me any details, but something’s going on right? I’m guessing you know Stiles has changed somehow? You just won’t tell me how, right? He has to tell me himself, or Scott?”
“We never could keep anything from you baby girl. Yes, a lot has changed, with Stiles, and otherwise. Honestly I wouldn’t even know where to begin explaining this. I mean… It’s big, I won’t lie. But I know you can handle this Sadie.” 
You swallow the lump which has lodged in your throat as you stare down at your hands, “I’ll try. That’s all I can say, until I actually know what’s going on. Unfortunately I guess we can’t put this off forever.” 
You stand and take your mom’s offered hand and the two of you make the short walk back to the house, albeit slowly, she knows you well enough to know that you need time to process everything still. 
“If you need space then you tell me. I’ll make sure you damn well get it, Alpha or not, he’s my son and your brother. You know he will do whatever is best for you. If you want, we’ll make them wait until morning? It’s your call, sweetheart.”
“Pretty sure there’s only one thing I can do.”
You straighten your spine and take a deep breath, looking over at the woman on your right. She’s by far the strongest person you’d ever met, and likely ever would meet. You’re pretty sure that you already know what she would do in your position. Clenching your free hand into a fist, you turn to look at her. Melissa McCall could’ve become a victim so many times in her life but she’d never become one, and you intended to follow in her footsteps, no matter how difficult the situation, you wouldn’t let anyone break you.
As if she can read your mind she gives your hand a squeeze and smiles, “that’s my girl.” 
When the two of you return home the house is deathly quiet, no sign whatsoever of anyone outside the house. Immediately your mind goes to the worst case scenario and judging by the slow steps your mom is taking, she’s thinking along the same lines. 
The front door creaking open is the only sound in the house, and it sounds so much louder when it’s surrounded by the silence. “Maybe they just left?” you whisper hopefully, not even believing the words as you say them.
Almost as if by muscle memory, in the pitch black you wrap your fingers around the end of Stiles’ baseball bat, you’re a little surprised that it’s still here, when he doesn’t appear to be. But you’re not about to complain about having a weapon when you need one. As you move through the kitchen there’s the slight drip of the tap, a sound which seems to almost bounce off of the walls in the silence. You can even hear the sound of the wind whistling against the windows but nothing else.
The hand that’s wrapped around yours tightens further, as you’re pulled closer to your mom’s body. You take another step forward when a thought occurs to you, swallowing your fear you whisper once more.
“What about the basement? We sound proofed it, could they be down there and we’re worried over nothing?” 
The moonlight almost seems to light the path as soon as your mom gives you a nod of agreement. The basement had been installed shortly after you’d all gotten Stiles back from the Nogitsune. It had come in handy more than a few times in the past. You feel your nerves escalating, the closer that you get to the basement, the worse your nerves become. You regretfully put the bat down by the door as you carefully turn the doorknob, wincing at the squeak you’re certain will follow. Fully aware that the basement had been sound proofed, and if they are down here, then you wouldn’t know until you open the final door at the bottom of the steps. 
With all of that in mind you take the stairs slowly, carefully manoeuvring around the third step down, since that one has always squeaked rather obnoxiously.
Your entire body feels as if it’s shaking from adrenaline and nerves as you reach the bottom of the stairs, wiping your hands on your clothes, you then reach for the door handle. When suddenly the door opens. You stumble back in alarm, grabbing for the baseball bat, which you quickly hold above your head, quickly stepping in front of your mother. 
However, you quickly lower the weapon, a sigh of relief leaving your lips when your eyes land on your rather dishevelled looking brother.
“Scott, what the hell is going on?” you ask urgently, hearing a deep growl coming from the room behind him, and the clang of chains is unmistakable. 
Your brother gives you a pitying look as he chews nervously on his bottom lip, to your surprise he steps out of the room, gently taking you by the shoulders, he pushes you back into the hallway.
“We should really talk, Sadie. Just come upstairs. Mom could you maybe…” he nods his head towards the door behind him. With a smile she gives your hand a final squeeze, before she releases you. Quickly doing whatever it was he had asked of her, she seemed to know exactly what it was though.
“Come on, we should sit. I’ll even get your favourite ice cream out,” he grins at you, but you know your brother well enough to see that he’s nervous.
“Well, shit. This really must be serious, Scott McCall sharing with the pain in the ass little sister.” Your joke seems to fall on deaf ears as Scott simply sighs, he looks tired, like dead on his feet tired. You gently grab his arm as you both sit on the sofa with the tub of ice cream between you, “Hey, you’re okay, right? You look like you haven’t slept in weeks.” 
“I’m okay, mostly at least. I just really wish we didn’t need to have this conversation, especially not now, not like this, Sades. I don’t even know where to start.” Scott tells you quietly, dragging a hand over his face, the stubble along his jaw is almost becoming a beard at this point. Something so unlike your brother that you’re surprised you’re only just realising.
Seeing your overconfident brother so unsure is so unusual to you, he hasn’t been like this since before he’d become a werewolf. You could count on your hands the few times you’d seen him return to this unsure worried version of himself. Which only made you all the more nervous, but you didn’t want to push him to hurry up and explain. You’d let him take his time, because as much as you needed to know, he was your best friend and your protector. Seeing him like this hurt more than you could've ever imagined.
Moving the tub aside you lean your head on Scott’s shoulder, “Maybe you should get some rest, you look like shit big brother,” you laugh when he shoves you off of him with a grin. 
You turn to face each other, pulling your legs under you, the way you used to when you were kids. When you were wanting to have one of your conversations, where Scott plays big brother and gives you his sage advice. Not that it was always good or right. Half the time it was stuff that you knew already, or stuff that you would never do. But you loved him for trying all the same. 
Your father had left not long after you were born, and as young as Scott had been he’d stepped up for you. He was the one man you knew you could count on, no matter what, and that wasn’t going to change you were sure of it.
“You don’t need to look out for me, Mini, that’s my job, remember. I look out for you,” Scott smiles, gently nudging your shoulder.
“No, you're my brother, that was dad’s job. But I prefer you anyhow,” I smile at him, and lean into the sofa.
“So which is it? Bed or are we gonna do this now?” 
Scott sighs and straightens in his seat, and just like the Alpha is back.
“Oh I wish I could, little sister, you have no idea how good a bed sounds right now. But we’re doing this now.” 
“Okay, I’m listening. Tell me everything that I don’t know about, might as well get it out of the way.”
“You remember a few months back when I went to visit Stiles?” he asks you carefully, and you’re already shocked. 
“This has been going on for months!? You’ve been lying and hiding this from me for months! I understand most of the time Scott, but dammit something that’s as important as this clearly is, you should’ve told me!” you almost shout, unable to hide or hold back your anger. Especially when it quite clearly seemed to concern you.
“Go on,” you sighed apologetically, realising there was no point in being angry about this, of course he hadn’t told you, yet another time he was trying to protect you no doubt.
“Sadie, if we had any idea any of this would end up involving you I would’ve told you the second everything happened.” 
“It’s fine, Scott, I understand. But it isn’t just that this involves me but it’s clearly important.” Shaking your head you clear your throat, before looking back at him, doing your best to reign in your anger. “Anyway, yes I remember, you said something about Stiles needing help, but you never did tell me what he needed help with.” Your need to know more only grows the more he talks about Stiles, something is definitely off, and you’re worried some of your earlier thoughts may have been correct.
Nothing could have prepared you for your brother’s next words however. 
Taking a deep breath Scott tells you the truth of that weekend away he’d had.
“Stiles had been struggling for months. He uh… he was starting to forget things, silly things at first, then he really started noticing it and he called me. He was too scared to go to the hospital, he didn’t want them to tell him what he already knew.” Scott lets out a shuddering sigh, wiping his hands on his jeans. 
Your mind is begging him not to say what you already know is coming, “go on,” you whisper nervously, grabbing his hand when he reaches for you.
A tear drops from Scott’s eyes when he meets yours and you swallow thickly, “I...I convinced him to go to the hospital. Yanno, maybe it wasn’t as bad as he thought. Part of me wishes he’d ignored me, but he needed to know. We needed to start planning. Unfortunately, the doctors only told us what he already knew. Fuck this is hard.” Scott moans quietly, wiping his eyes on his shirt sleeve. “Stiles had developed frontotemporal dementia. Just like his mother. It fucking broke him Sades, he tore out of that room so damn fast. I followed him, but he told me he needed time to process, just some time alone.” Scott’s voice is shaking so hard, and you feel like your heart just broke in half, but you know only by the look on your brother’s face that isn’t where the story ends.
Clearing your throat you squeeze his hand, “there’s more, isn’t there?” you ask tentatively, feeling the tears fall freely from your eyes. 
“Fuck, do I wish there wasn’t,” he mutters, his laugh devoid of humour. A roar sounds from the basement, and then you hear a door slam. You look at your brother with wide eyes and he sighs sadly once more. “I shouldn’t have let him go alone. He was worried he was being followed during training by something, he didn’t know what yet and he didn’t tell me, not until that day in the hospital waiting room. I should have followed him, but he needed space.” Scott looks up and meets your eyes once more, “I was walking around the parking lot of the hospital when I heard him scream. Then I remembered his stories, and I didn’t even think, I just ran as fast as I could. But by the time I got to him, he was bleeding out on the floor, Sadie. He looked so bad, he was white as a damn ghost, could barely keep his eyes open, I lost it. My instincts… just kicked in.” Scott whispers the last bit as another tear rolls down his cheek.
Jumping to your feet you feel your breathing start to change, as you try to consider what else he could be about to say, but only one thing comes to mind.
“Don’t say it, Scotty, please.” 
He gets to his feet and pulls you into his arms before you collapse, “I did it. I bit him.”

One your asks inspired this thought of out me.
Idk if Icebergs are still popular, but does a NaruHina Fic Iceberg post sound fun to you?
Basically, there's like 5 or 6 tiers (there should be a template readily available in google images) and you assign specific media (in this case, NH fics) to each tier, descending from tame tho troubling to 'stare into the abyss'-level awful. 😅
I'm just super curious now, haha. 🤪 Baiee~
I worked on this for a couple of days! Fun~
Tumblr media
uhhh click for hopefully better quality?
The order of the fics within each category sorta matters to me, but if I thought about it harder, I'd probably change things around, so the order's not that important. And in general, the categories go from NaruHina getting hurt, to NaruHina hurting others, to NaruHina hurting each other. With a few exceptions! But if someone else were to rank this, they might categorize things differently.
It's all just my feeling. As you can see. By the category titles.
Congratulations to Sessakag, Sadistic One, BlackMajjicDuchess, and DemonOfTheFridge for scaring me the most hahahahahaha 💀
Looking at this and one would think I love freaky stories lol
I read it for the curious cat to be killed.
I have all the stories linked below :)
Darkly Mysterious, Worrying 😥
“White Kunai” by @magmawrites - Rated E, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Complete. A series of violent rapes and murders targeting long, dark haired, young women have caught the attention of the Hokage. Her plan? Use a qualified, long, dark haired kunoichi as bait. The only one that fits the criteria? Hinata.
“a home is a dream” by bluebeardsbrides - Rated M, Modern AU, One-shot. Naruto Uzumaki returns home with all the force maelstrom, three days after her husband’s disappearance and six years since she went and stumbled on Neji’s body floating in the creek downtown.
"Dark Shift" by brown phantom - Rated M, Canon-Divergent AU, Multi-chapter, Incomplete. After a solo mission goes horribly wrong, something happens to Naruto. His mask of happiness turns dark and cruel, and he turns against the village he had sworn to protect. Can he be returned to normal before it's too late?
“Distorted Minds” by Cheating Death - Rated E for graphic violence, Canon-Divergent, Multi-chapter, Complete. Her lavender eyes slowly opened, her vision blurry and distorted for a few moments as she tried to look around. It was then that she realized that she was suspended a few inches off the ground, her wrists cuffed in cold, metal shackles that hung from the ceiling.
Disturbing, Unsettling, Cursed 😶
“Asylum AU” from “Tales of Two Ninjas” by magmawrites - Rated M, Modern AU, One-shot. What’s to say what’s real and what isn’t? The only thing that’s valid and true in all universes is their love for one another.
“Burn The House Down” by @secrettastemakerland - Rated G, Canon-Divergent, One-shot. Naruto shrugged, not really having an answer. He had tried to tell her they had bigger problems.
"Go Home, Start Again" by @bunny-hoodlum - Rated E, Canon-Divergent, One-shot. My submission for NH2020 February's theme "Time Loop".
"Stay" by @nightowl27-writer - Rated E, Modern AU, Multi-chapter, Complete. The basement holds much more than ashes and secrets. As urban legends come to life, people begin to disappear, and a city sits on the brink of disaster. When everything seems to be falling apart, will Hinata find the answer to the question she is terrified to ask?
Weird, Shocking, & Crazy 🤪

She eventually found out that smell belonged to a young man named Uzumaki Naruto. Ever since that encounter, she couldn’t stop following him and watching his every move. She needed to know who he hanged out with, his hobbies likes and dislikes. She even transferred to his school to study him more closely. But as those months went on, she discovered Naruto was not who he portrayed to be to his peers, but a cold-blooded murderer. Is this enough to put a stop to Hinata’s obsession or will it draw her closer to her own insanity?
“Breeding Season” by BlackMajjicDuchess - Rated E and has rape/non-con, Canon-Divergent, Multi-chapter, Complete. Completely out of pattern, Kyuubi leaks free and causes terrible destruction that Naruto cannot suppress. There is a solution, but it comes at a terrible price.

This was so entertaining! If anyone agrees or would order things differently, let me know~

tip  of  the  iceberg. 
full  name :   cameron greer newman
nicknames : greer
age / dob :   twenty - two  /  july twenty - first  ( cancer  ass  bitch ) 
gender / pronouns :   non binary  /  they + them
sexuality :   bisexual 
species :   witch
dwelling :   prospect hill
occupation :   farm - hand / market vendor
in  a  word. 
gentle. curious. scrappy. distracted. distant. intelligent. sensitive. trustworthy. loyal. respectful.
what does it mean to be a sheep? what does it mean to be a shepherd?
walking barefoot through the creek. scrapping your knees on a rock. frogs hopping desperately from the water. shaggy hair covering your eyes. pinning your shorts to keep them up. feral blonde children covered in mud. wool sweaters and socks and blankets. curling up next to a fire. catching bugs in jars.
let’s  talk  about  greer. 
greer was the second child born to destiny and jared newman - two sheep farmers living somewhat close to marina island proper - and third oldest newman sibling total. as far as jared knows, the newmans had been shepherds in the green hills for as long as magic had ruled there - his ancestors among the first witches. or that's how the story goes.
altogether there were six newman children, one half sibling and four full. they grew up very untamed, with few rules, living on their family's farmland. before the younger children were pulled out and homeschooled, teachers used to dread the seemingly endless parade of fluffy haired witches. they slept in piles around the farm, huddling together for warmth like puppies. they walked together to town to buy candy and snacks from the local vendors, usually stuffing their pockets with more than they'd paid for. each tended to a flock of wild animals - feeding squirrels, protecting bird nests, watching for foxes with the family collies.
the family has always been seen as strange and a bit feral, but well liked in town. several of the newmans have always been gifted healers (though greer tends to gravitate more towards death magic) and they run a free, holistic healing service for those they offer it to.
the eldest newman sibling was technically only jared's biological child - the product of jared and a demon before he'd even met destiny and was still quite young. the halfling inherited abilities inherent to both parents, but it never seemed like a problem. the line of witches had lived peacefully and outside the realm of conflict practically since their arrival on the island, and destiny had cared for the eldest newman like they were her own since she'd started dating jared.
things changed roughly a year ago. the eldest newman had been dappling in darker magic - drawn to it through their bloodline, some of greer's siblings had gossiped. no one was awake when it happened, but something had to have happened. one night in december the halfing had been there. the next morning, scorched earth trailed towards the barn and there was no halfling to be found.
a year later and the grass still hasn't grown back. greer's family hasn't been able to talk about it - everyone processing differently. sometimes, destiny won't even acknowledge it's happened, turning instead to wash dishes or scrub at a countertop.
go eaeeeeaeeaeaessyy on them baby .. adele vc.

Why It Worked: Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron
Tumblr media
Introduction: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron is an animated western film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by DreamWorks Pictures. Directed by the late-great Kelly Asbury with Lorna Cook serving as co-director, the film stars the voice talents of Matt Damon, Daniel Studi, James Cromwell, Chopper Bernet, Jeff LeBeau and Frank Welker; with musice provided by Hans Zimmer and Bryan Adams. The film was released on May 24, 2002 and while it didn’t do great at the box office (only making $122.6 million worldwide on a budget of $80 million), it recieved fairly positive reviews with 69% out of 127 reviews aggregated by Rotten Tomatoes giving an average rating of 6.4/10. In the 20 years since its release, it has gain a cult following as well as a spin-off show on Netflix called Spirit Riding Free. The show became so popular that is spawning a standalone sequel to the film called Spirit Untamed, released on June 4, 2021. I’ve always really liked this film and it stands as one of my favorite films by DreamWorks Animation. I’m so glad to talk about why I adore this film and what makes it stand out from animated films before or since its release.
Tumblr media
The Plot: Set in the American old West, this film follows the journey of a yellow mustang who’s taken from his herd and must find his way back home. Along the way he meets a young Lakota man called Little Creek, an American Paint Horse called Rain, and a calm yet authoritaritve Colonel. Right away the film hooks the audience with an amazing 3 minute shot of an eagle flying threw a canyon with Hans Zimmer’s score beautifully caputring the majesty of the West. This is just the tip of the iceberge as this film as it maintains that majestic tone throughout the film. Even though the film is 84 minutes long, it makes every second count by having scenes devoid of any dialogue and just let the moment speak for itself. Scenes like Spirit and Rain getting to know each other and Spirit and Little Creek making a mighty jump across a canyon are all the more powerful due to the lack of dialogue. In addition to that there are a good number of funny moments, which feel natural and also really funny. Spirit messing with Murph, the blacksmith, and Little Creek getting doused in face paint are amoung the funniest moments in the film due to how well timed and executed they are. The animation plays a crucial role in making the story so grand. The horses are designed wonderfully with strong builds, accurate anatomy (without drawing any of the undercarriages due to this being for kids) and very expressive faces. The humans all have natural yet appealing and distinctive designs, with the military having strong blue uniforms that makes them distinct from the native Lakota tribe. The characters have natural movements to them with excellent running and trotting animation on the horses and more subtle movements from the humans. I also really like the backgrounds as they make the film look like a painting. The colors are bright and vibrant, the textures are well detailed and the 2D and 3D elements complent each other beautifully. The story of this film can best be described as awe inspiring because of how well they made this world feel timeless.
Tumblr media
Cast and Characters: There’s really only 4 characters that play key roles in the film, but their lack in numbers does not negate their importance. Starting with our titular hero, Spirit is a curious, brave and determined horse who want to get back to his herd after he’s captured. While on his journey, he shows that he’s unselfish and caring by freeing military horse whenever he gets the chance. Little Creek is a young, clever and determined Lakota man who Spirit meets at the military camp. They don’t get along at first, but Little Creek’s determination impresses Spirit and they eventually grow to respect each other. Rain is a smart, stubborn and well mannered mare who has a good relationship with Little Creek. Her and Spirit start off at odds, but the more time he spends with her, the more they fine that they were mean to be. Then there’s the Colonel, the main antagonist of the film and the antithosis to Spirit’s ideals. While Spirit values the beauty of freedom, the Colonel is all about order and control. The Colonel is calm and collected, yet he’s full of authority and his men obey his whim without question. The supporting cast is even fewer than the main cast, but they still have their importance in the story such as Spirit’s Mom, Esperana, taking care of the herd while Spirit is away, the eagle that Spirit races with, and Murph who Spirit messes with much to the audience’s amusement. The characters are brought to life by the stellar acting and sound design on display. While Spirit himself doesn’t speak, his narration is provide by Matt Damon, who give his voice a brash yet wise and honest tone. Daniel Studi did a great job voicing Little Creek, making him sound so confident and clever. James Cromwell did an excellent job voicing the Colonel, making him sound calm yet fully of authority. They did a great job implimenting real horse noises into the film as they give Spirit and they other horses such a wide range of emotions. Jeff LeBeau, Chopper Bernet and Frank Welker also did really good jobs as Murph, the Sargent and the eagle respectively. I’d be remissing myself if I didn’t give credit to young Meredith Wells (daughter of Prince of Egypt co-director Simon Wells) for her adorable delivery of “Bye Bye horsey!” as the little Lakota baby. That was so adorable that it was used in trailers to promote the film. The cast may be small, but what they lack in numbers they make up for in great importance.
Tumblr media
Songs and Music: Hans Zimmer and Bryan Adams made an absolutely killer soundtrack with this film. Hans’ score incorperates some great piano cues and heavy uses of brass instruments and a string orcastra, Bryan Adams sings 6 songs in the film that act as a secondary voice for Spirit. Here I Am perfectly introduces Spirit as a curious young colt who’s so amazed by the world around him. You Can’t Take Me captures his worry as he’s captured and his longing to go home. Get Off of My Back is a banging rock song that capture’s Spirit’s cocky attitude towards the soliders trying (and hilariously failing) to break him. Sound The Bugle is a somber track that describes Spirit’s defeated state when he’s captured again. Then there’s I Will Always Return, which serves as a celebratory ballad of Spirit returning home with a newfound appreciation for his freedom. The final song that plays during the credits is a beautiful duet with the late Sarah MacCallan called Don’t Let Go, which is a love ballad describing hanging on to this tender moment between lovers. The soundtrack really makes this film standout and it would feel empty without it.
Tumblr media
Where It Falters: 👆 Yeah this one comment is this only critque I have with the film. Casual sexism is not okay and we shouldn't excuse comments like this. This is yet another example of what NOT to say to/about a woman. Scoffing at a woman for being protective and impling all women are like this is definitely sexist and should not be tolerated. I'm glad we're smarter now and are putting in more effort to respect women.
Tumblr media
Conclusion: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron is an absolutely fantastic film that holds up really well after 20 years. With an epic story, fantastic soundtrack, wonderful animation and a really strong cast of characters, this film remains one of the highlights of DreamWorks Animation's history. If you haven't seen it yet, definitely check it out. And if you're a fan of Spirit Riding Free or Spirit Untamed, then you should definitely check this out. Thank you so much for reading and I'll see you soon ;)

Goodbye Alaska
Monday, August 2, 2021
CAL - That time has come again. I knew it was coming when the large, bald one started cleaning our room in the middle of the week. She tried to act like nothing was going on, but I knew that meant it was moving time. 
On Friday morning, Michele loaded the car as usual: all of our stuff, then me, and finally my litter box. Having spent so much time in the car on our way up to Alaska I had developed a newfound comfort in traveling in it.  
Tumblr media
We drove for most of the morning, stopping several times in the most interesting places. I lay as close to the back window as possible, watching a myriad of trees, birds, and other cars pass us by. It was only later in the day when we drove into a large, dark, densely packed parking lot that I began to get an inkling as to what would happen next. We were in a moving parking lot again! My suspicion was confirmed when the large, bald one carefully filled my food and water bowl and then left me alone in my private, car bubble. About 30 minutes later, the parking lot started to move. It was no big deal, after all, I am an expert now. 
At first, I thought I was alone on the moving parking lot. I could see other cars, but they all appeared to be empty. However, as the evening progressed, I started to realize that I was not alone. In the car, to my left, I saw two very shy cats slowly peek their heads out of the passenger side window. Now, I generally do not get along with other cats, but something in my heart went out to these two. I could tell it was their first time on a moving parking lot. 
I spent most of the evening pantomiming that everything would be okay for the new cats. It took a while, but I think that I was finally able to get through to them. As the veteran cat on this journey, it is my sacred duty to put others at ease. This is not a job that I take lightly.  
MICHELE - It’s Monday evening and in true Alaska fashion, every time I thought I had my last amazing travel experience, another one popped up. It started with the drive to the ferry port in Whittier. 
I left a little early to allow time to enjoy the day. The first stop was the Portage Glacier Visitor Center, which offers an amazing view of Portage Lake. Next, I backtracked to a quaint little campground just a few miles before the Visitor Center. I found a picnic table just a few feet from a blue and green lake at the foot of Explorer Glacier. As I slowly ate the last of my wild-caught, sockeye salmon I almost shed a tear as I silently said goodbye to this great state. 
Upon arrival in Whittier, I still had an hour to kill, so I drove to the end of Shotgun Cove Road for an overlook of the water. I followed a little trail, bordered by all sorts of berries down to a rocky beach that featured some very usual rock formations, undoubtedly shaped by the aggressive tide. I explored the rocks and watched salmon jumping towards a small creek that ran across the shore until it was time to climb back up the trail and into the car. I was sure that my Alaskan adventure had come to an end as I fought back tears while checking into the ferry. 
On Sunday morning the ferry arrived in Juneau where I needed to disembark for 6 hours and board a new boat for the rest of the ride to Seattle. When I first drove off the boat at the early hour of 6am, I immediately pulled into an empty parking lot for some cuddle time with Cal. After a full cup of coffee and a few Google searches on the area, I developed a plan for the day.  First I drove to Mendenhall Glacier, which was a magnificent sight. The lake had several large icebergs and in the early morning, I had the entire view to myself. 
On the way back to the car I took a peek at Mendenhall River and was delighted to see more salmon. I watched as several of them jumped over rocks and branches to get to their final destination, upstream. 
After a quick brunch and a peek at the Macaulay Salmon Hatchery, I headed to the Shrine of Saint Teresa. A religious site, open to the public, just 10 miles north of town. Upon arrival, the site was silent and a few signs allowed me to explore in complete solitude. I started out by visiting a stunning chapel on a small island, passing several porcupines who almost seemed like guardians on the narrow pathway into the water. The site has a few short walking paths, all of which celebrate the amazing views of the bay and an array of carefully cultivated gardens. 
By the time I got onto my new ferry boat I was sure that I had seen all there was to see in Alaska, but Monday morning featured one more stop in Ketchikan. I originally planned to stay on the boat during the 4-hour stopover, but the uncharacteristically beautiful weather forced me off of the boat and into the cab line. After several unsuccessful attempts in getting a cab (note to self - there are TWO ferry systems in Ketchikan - the airport ferry, also known as the “The Ferry” and the "Alaskan Marine Highway Ferry", which must be indicated as such when ordering cabs), I ended up walking the 2.3 miles into town. 
The best place for walking in Ketchikan is definitely Creek Street, a quaint little area of shops lining a fairly large creek that runs down into the ocean. While most of the stores were closed for the day, I lucked out big time by catching the salmon run up the creek. I watched in awe as schools of salmon charged into the creek past a line of fisherman on a bridge, around a group of hungry river otters, and up a series of small waterfalls and rapids to their spawning grounds. In the game of salmon versus nature, I only saw only one salmon fall prey to an otter and none to human hands. I gained yet a new appreciation for Alaska and its beautiful salmon. 
One cappuccino and croissant later, I successfully call a cab and make it back onto the ferry with plenty of time to spare. As the ferry leaves the port, we quickly cross the border into Canada. Now my Alaskan adventure has finally come to an end.

SAMEDI 29 JUILLET 2023 (Billet 1 / 4)
La vidéo ci-dessus est dédiée à nos amis Corinne et Bernard (R.) qui visitent en ce moment l’Alaska.
Ce n’est pas leur premier voyage… et encore loin d’être le dernier, nous en sommes persuadés car ce sont d’authentiques Globe-Trotteurs ! Et c’est Corinne qui se charge d’envoyer tous les jours à une petite liste d’Happy Few un compte-rendu de leur journée, toujours chargée de péripéties aussi diverses que souvent drôles.
Avant-hier, ils étaient à Fairbanks où ils ont visité un Musée « Esquimau » au sein de l’Université. Nous avons compris que la nourriture n’était pas ce qu’il y avait de mieux dans ces contrées… Qu’ils lisent et relisent le Billet suivant, peut-être que saliver leur fera du bien (🤪🤪🤪). Ils ont ensuite fait une croisière de 3 heures en bateau à roue à aubes et ont vu de très belles maisons le long du parcours. Ils sont descendus hier dans le Sud.
Bien sûr, le tout accompagné de belles photos qui nous donnent l’impression de voyager avec eux. Nous les en remercions, les embrassons et leur souhaitons une bonne continuation.
__________________________
La vidéo de ce Billet, trouvée sur YouTube, était accompagnée du petit texte suivant :
« Explorez Juneau avec nous, alors que nous naviguons au cours d’un été en Alaska. Nous avons visité le fjord « Tracy Arm », le glacier « Mendenhall », vu les ours de « Pack Creek », « Hoonah » et quelques autres magnifiques icebergs de Juneau… »
Peut-être que nos amis reconnaîtront quelques paysages qu’ils ont traversés… En tout cas, il y a des images sublimes qui ne devraient pas laisser indifférents nos lecteurs/abonnés.
