Diana Ross, actress, legendary solo singer, and lead singer for the Supremes, was born in Detroit, MI, on this date March 26, 1944.
Defines an icon, a national treasure with a magnificent legacy that has changed the course of music history and popular culture-Diana Ross would help to create a national cultural movement and become the premiere artist at the renown Motown Records. Her extraordinary journey from the leader of The Supremes to her solo career has inspired and empowered countless musicians, artists, celebrities, and young dreamers.
Her voice, described as “honey” and “angelic,” has over 100 million streams, downloads and sales around the world.
In what has been described as one of the greatest live concert performances, Diana Ross drew a crowd of over 800,000 people to New York’s Central Park on July 21 & 22, 1983. Soon after the show began on July 21, pouring rain and heavy wind threatened to put an end to the show, but she pushed on for much of the set, urging the drenched crowd to remain calm and stay with her. Eventually the storm put an end to the performance, but not before she promised her fans that she would return the next day. True to her word, she performed the entire concert again on July 22nd for the people of New York City.
Ms. Ross also shined on the big screen, with films like “Lady Sings The Blues,” “Mahogany,” and “The Wiz.” Her artistry reached near and far, inspiring audiences across America and around the globe.
“As you hear my voice, you hear my heart. ‘Let Love Lead the Way.’ I am so happy to have music as a part of my life. For the many moments of traveling and singing songs to you and loving you, I am so, so grateful. Thank You for all the blessings in my life that you have given me. I have always felt your beautiful love. Thank you to my children and all my family. Thank you to all those that have made this incredible journey possible.”

Would any of the kids sun and moon take care of offer there blood to them when they get older 16 18 or in there 20s and would they except the donation or decline it?
Carter's offered her blood a few times to Sun and Moon.
She wanted to help them in any way she can and show her gratitude for their kindness and for taking her, and the others, in to protect and raise
They never accepted her offers though and always turned her down.
Even when she asked if they would when she turns 18, they still refused.
Sun and Moon don't expect the children under their care to offer up their blood for them. Even when they turn into adults they will never bear their fangs towards them

@zetallis suggested the cute idea of her OC's Ellis and Carter going to the dog park with Polaris and Yildun!
I thought it was a really fun one and wanted to draw it ^^
Yildun is a little suspicious of the two, but, Polaris is having a fun time! XD

Sarah Vaughn, jazz entertainer, was born in Newark, NJ, on this date March 27, 1924.
Vaughan grew up with a love of music and performing. Winning a talent competition held at Harlem’s Apollo Theater launched her singing career. She worked with bandleaders Earl Hines and Billy Eckstine-working with Eckstine were trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and saxophonist Charlie Parker, who introduced the group to a new form of jazz, known as bebop.
An inspired Sarah Vaughan brought bebop into her singing, which can be heard in the 1945 recording of “Lover Man” that she made with Parker and Gillespie.
Some of her popular songs were: “It’s Magic,” “Black Coffee,” “Broken-Hearted Melody,” “Make Yourself Comfortable,” and “A Lover’s Concerto.”

Percy Jackson is actually the definition of a grey character. So is Annabeth. And I think people should just let Annabeth have questionable thoughts, do that questionable things. Let Annabeth unfairly behave towards Rachel. Let Percy manipulate Bob and even Nico arguably. Percy's actions alone can look not right but it doesn't have to be heroic as long as it is justifiable and it is. Percy is not a plain hero like Jason or Carter. I believe that the best quality of Percy is that grey character. Percy is actually the heaviest anti hero hero written and it is what does Percy a very likeable head character. Percy does the right thing, but not because it is right. Not because of honor. Not because of rules. That is why Jason kinda was a classic hero type and a lot of people didn't Vibe with Jason like they did with Percy. While Jason does all things for duty, Percy just does it for love and loyalty. Annabeth also, is, someone like that. I love Annabeth's questionable side as it should. Let the person who is most associated in the series with grey act grey. Let Percy be the anti hero. Rick, come on now.
