legend tells that Thoth, god of knowledge and magic, played cards with Khonsu, god of the moon, and won 5 extra days worth of moonlight. he gave them to the sky goddess Nut (who was forbidden from giving birth on any day of the then 360-day year), subsequently allowing her to produce Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, and Nepthys—one on each of the five days
no one knows that Thoth was up to with the whole “leap year” thing. after all, there’s no way Nut could give birth to just 1/4th of a god. unless…..
no way!!!! this has become a CERTIFIED MEDJED POST!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like there's two parts to the no fly list leak that are getting overlooked right now
1) the person in question has the handle "maia arson crimew" meaning media outlets have to cite "crimew" as the person they're quoting, which is amazing.
2) From everything I've read, crimew didn't actually commit a crime (in this case at least). According to crimew, the no-fly list was discovered on a publicly accessible server, totally unsecured. crimew was using Shodan which is a totally legal tool regularly used by a lot of the security community for research. Schools use and provide access to Shodan, it's a normal tool. Nothing crimew was doing was out of the ordinary. Her access and use of the file was most likely legal (or at least next to impossible to prosecute), given that it was publicly accessible.
crimew even notified CommuteAir of the data vulnerability. Which prevented more sensitive data from leaking, and was absolutely a sign of acting in good faith. Her obligation to even do that is a pretty gray area, but she did it anyways.
Now, crimew has gotten charged by the US in the past for other things, however, Swiss citizens cannot be extradited against their will. So the proceedings were suspended. She could only be charged under Swiss law, and given that the data is/was publicly accessible and the exposure was for public good, that's very unlikely to happen.
The people actually getting investigated by congress/the FBI/the TSA are the idiots at CommuteAir that were hosting the no fly list on an unsecured publicly accessible server. They're the ones who actually get in trouble for failing to have followed basic security protocols. They're the ones who had a legal obligation to safe guard that data, and they're the ones who fucked up.

i understand the struggle of "i can't draw how do i visualize this OC" and its like, okay, picrews and dollmakers have limited options (and are often limited by the artist's imagination). Heroforge perhaps not your style. You're broke as hell, so commissioning someone or finding someone who can do it on the cheap is hard. Certainly it's hard to find someone to just Do It For Free and that's a huge imposition. And learning to draw is [come back in ten to fifteen years lol]
What is also an option that I think has fallen out of fashion as programs have gotten more advanced but is still legitimate, though:
Kitbashing and editing sprites.
"but i can't draw" you don't need to. Get your hands on those game assets and edit them with your 1-px pencil or paintbuckets or whatever. Recolour them. Smash them together like dolls. You can do it in MS Paint or the program of your choice. If you want something more focused on pixel art (and still free) there's graphicsgale. Embrace the dots.

Once & For All by The Crane Wives is such a MK vs Azure Lion song,,,,,,,,
This is a Crane Wives song I haven't heard before! (so like, a treat for me)
Dare I say I actually think this is a really good shadowpeach song from Macaque's pov
I tried it your way, you tried it mine
The white flags still aren't waving, this ain't the good fight
I'm putting my foot down, weak knees and all
Finally standing on my own after the great fall (imp note: ICARUS PARALLELS FOR THE WIN)
Once and for all
Once and for all
Once and for all
I only fought for love at your request
Didn't think you'd be the one to leave me clutching at my chest
Remember, you're the one that gave up when my blood runs dry
You could still carry me away but you'd leave me here to die
Especially the ending here ("Is there anything Wukong could do that would break his hold over you?"):
Once and for all, what does that mean?
It's a promise I'm making that I don't actually believe
Once and for all means I've tried it before
So many times that I'm just fucking tired
I'll never be able to close that door
