Hi Idk what possessed me to write this (probably that Sailor Moon gif earlier) but uh here goes I guess??? It's kinda. Uh. L o r e - type of content. Based on WTTW.

MEDITERRANEAN SEA, SOUTH OF ITALY

Out of everything Robertas "Bob" Lė expected to find in the hatch, it certainly wasn't this. But to be fair, he wasn’t sure what he should’ve expected - it just didn’t seem feasible for the lid to be knocked open by complete chance. The force required to turn the wheel was very deliberate.

And on his way there, after volunteering to investigate, he’d begun to second guess why.

Until now.

The interior was already drained before he approached the door at its landing. From a strange onset of paranoia, he held his pistol from behind his back. What for? Pirates?! The idea was laughable.

It was probably nothing. A false alarm. Or…

A merchild. They were real.

The creature in question was quite small, no larger than a tuna. Whether they were male or female was unknown. Pale blue skin, with fins on their singular arm, their back, and a pair residing where their ears would. Their hair and eyes were much more vibrant in hue, but their tail was the showstopper: cyan with a raspberry-pink tip.

As they struggled to climb the ladder, and failed several times, it became clear that they were also malnourished, judging by how visible their ribcage was. Poor thing probably hasn’t had a decent meal in weeks.

Bob put the gun away.

He didn’t have much to offer, aside from a tin of canned sardines (which, funnily enough, he was the only one aboard who cared for the things). Though, maybe this starving merchild won’t mind.

Tin in hand, he slowly bent down to their level, opening it. “Hey,” He asked softly, “Do you want some?”

The new sounds got the blue creature’s attention, staring at Bob, then the tin.

“I’ll just set them here for you, alright?” He did as he said, then backed away to give some space. The merchild watched him leave. Then, bravely crawled over to the tin, smelling it curiously.

And stuffed their face into the hole, devouring every last sardine.

The next look Bob was given was pleading. “Sorry, I do not have more. I would have to go all the way to the food storage, and… Well.” He was sure the crew, and especially the captain, wouldn’t be too keen on him supplying their backup rations to what could potentially be a wild animal. No matter how begrudging they were about those little fish.

After all, it was Bob who carefully calculated it for the long journey ahead. An additional mouth to feed would be catastrophic.

“Anyway,” He continued, donning one of the few diving suits near the hatch, “Let’s get you back out where you belong.” Their family surely must be worried. … If familial bonds were part of their culture, that is.

Once out in the open water, the merchild had sped off, not daring to look back. And soon after, for whatever reason, Bob missed them.

Just as he finished up and went to leave the hatch’s landing, someone stood in the doorway.

Captain Gonzalo. A traveler from Spain, who came to Lithuania specifically to seek him out for this… Admittedly crazy scheme, to begin with. A submarine capable of sailing all the way to Australia.

“Why don’t you just fly there?” Bob had asked.

“What? You joking? I’ve done that everywhere else! It's so boring!” He’d laughed at the idea. ”But the sea… It calls my name. And if you do this for me, I am prepared to pay you handsomely!” It was enough to put Billy through college, to afford all the materials necessary to upgrade him through every stage of life until adulthood, where he could then take such matters into his own hands.

The plan was inane. But the price he was willing to pay tipped the scales.

But at this moment, Gonzalo looked upon him with a smirk. “So, what was that, Shipwright?”

“Oh, just a lost fish, Captain. Nothing to worry about.” Half true, but if Bob had been completely honest, he wouldn’t have been believed.

“I see!” The captain’s expression didn’t change, as if seeing through the bluff. “Well, let’s hope it doesn’t happen again!”

“Indeed.” But Bob didn’t waver either, hoping his commitment helped to conceal things.

A few days later, however, it did happen again. This time, it wasn’t an accident.

Anakin, remembering a traumatic event that was suppressed: Oh my god! I just realized something.

Ahsoka: What?

Anakin: I had a bad childhood.

Ahsoka: Oh. Yeah, I know.

Anakin: You know? Did Obi-Wan tell you?

Ahsoka: He didn’t need to. Just look at you.

Anakin: What do you mean?

Ahsoka: Just look at how you stand. People who had good childhoods don’t stand like that.

Anakin: Oi

Morgan Stephens at Daily Kos:

Behind the scenes, President Joe Biden’s team has been preparing for his big final weeks in office, regardless of who won the 2024 election. “The schedule will be robust and he plans to leave it all on the field,” White House communications director Ben LaBolt told NBC News in September.  During his speech to the nation last Wednesday, Biden addressed some of his administration’s final priorities, including a focus on infrastructure spending, which was a major legislative accomplishment of his presidency. "We're going to see over a trillion dollars' worth of infrastructure work done, changing people's lives in rural communities and communities that are in real difficulty," the president said.  In addition to getting infrastructure projects off the ground before Trump takes office, White House advisers said Biden will also work to safeguard freedoms the president believes are under threat, strengthen global alliances, and take steps to reduce costs for Americans.

does the Lord make house calls?

“The radio followed close behind, and he gingerly slid it over his back, wincing when the sharp corner of the cold metal dug into the small of his back.

He didn’t need to bring the radio — hardly ever, almost — but he always did, anyways. Like a comfort that did nothing.”

I found out Shang Chi is technically younger than Shuri and just about lost my mind. So here's a list of the new/"younger" characters ages (or an estimate if they don't have a canon birthdate given yet) by Doomsday aka approximately 2029, oldest to youngest:

Kate Bishop - 26 - Q4 2002

Riri Williams - anywhere from 22 to 29 - ~2000-2006*
