Sallow Family Name

i always thought that Anne and Sebastian's last name was 'Sallow' in order to foreshadow her curse and inevitable death.

(sallow) - (of a person's face or complexion) of an unhealthy yellow or pale brown color

but while reading about wand woods, i learned that 'sallow' is another name for 'willow' trees.

according to Ollivander, "willow is an uncommon wand wood with healing power"

willow trees are also associated with grief and mourning, but also immortality and rebirth. this combination leads them to symbolize "the endurance of love and family, despite death"

the Sallows are a family plagued by death, love, and grief. the twins' parents die young. Sebastian loves his sister fiercely and keeps his parents' memory alive. despite his parents' deaths and his sister's terminal condition, he allows his love to fuel his actions (however misguided they may be)

I Can See You by Taylor Swift is giving immense Sebastian Sallow vibes.

TOPAZ HLC U5F HOF DFN

I found this one morning in Boyle Heights. I had gone out graffiti hunting early. My favorite time. You can see the reflection of the rising sun on the writing.

It was quiet. There were no cars out yet. Nothing. Except.. Across the street there was a Honda Civic parked. It had tinted windows but I could see the silhouettes of four guys sitting inside.

The paint was shiny and glossy like it had just been done.

I took a quick picture and moved on.

Mexican Chemical Engineer: Michael Kaminski

Michael Kaminski is a internationally recognized senior nuclear chemical engineer in the Strategic Security Sciences division of U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory. He is an expert in nuclear chemistry and radiological and nuclear materials with a record of innovation in nuclear waste management, nuclear chemical separations, functionalized microporous and nanoporous materials, and radiological threat response and recovery. His work currently focuses on establishing best practices internationally for preparing for and recovering from radiological and nuclear releases in an urban environment.

Kaminski states, "My mother emigrated from Mexico and my father lived in the Chicagoland area, which is where I was born. When I am not working, I enjoy coaching youth sports, spending time with my friends and family, and staying active through sports and fitness.  I am blessed to live very close to many of my family members so I enjoy staying close to my family at parties and events."

“When I visit the younger ones [stidents] and tell them where my Mom is from, their eyes open and they have smiles on their faces,” said Kaminski, whose mother immigrated to the United States from Mexico’s San Luis Potosi. “They can immediately identify and think, ​‘Hey, I am kind of like you! My parents were born there and came here.’ Through education, they can see themselves having a career like mine or any of the many powerful careers offered in STEM.”

Education

His journey at Argonne began in the DOE’s Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship program in 1992. He has worked full time at the lab since 1998.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign:

Ph.D., Nuclear Engineering with a Geochemistry Minor; 1998

M.S., Nuclear Engineering/Radioactive Waste Management; 1996

B.S., Nuclear Engineering, Cum Laude; 1994

MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS/NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

Kaminski has generated 30 inventions and 10 patents at Argonne, and his work has been highly cited in the scientific literature (more than 22,000 times).

Innovator: Applies broad range of capabilities to create unique technical solutions in chemical separations; materials for biomedical applications; and radioactive materials detection, decontamination, and recovery

Pioneered the use of magnetic, polymeric microparticles for the separation and concentration of metals, producing highly cited papers in extraction of actinide, fission products, and heavy metals (1998-2012).

Led a multi-institutional team to study magnetic, biodegradable polymers and the first descriptions of these for removal of toxins in vivo, which quickly established his worldwide expertise (2001-2012).

First reported paragenesis and properties of radioactive colloids from the corrosion of aluminum-based fuels and uranium metal fuel exposed to ground water. First reported novel synthesis methods and heat transport characteristics for fission product and transuranic waste forms (2005-2016).

Knowledge of nuclear fuel reprocessing schemes and functionalized surfaces led to the development of novel schemes for detection of nuclear–related species that do not rely on radioactive emission for detection, thereby avoiding the confounding problem of intense background radiation and prohibitive detection levels.

Unique expertise in nuclear engineering, chemistry and geochemistry led to development of novel methods to effect the decontamination of the urban environment and his unique international program in urban radiological decontamination including development of unique materials, approaches and tools. Includes the Argonne Supergel (hydrogel decontaminant capable of removing radioactivity from porous building materials), IWATERS (decontamination process that uses common reagents and materials to wash down surfaces and simultaneously recycle the contaminated water), and Radiological Recovery Logistics Tool (RRLT) (computer program that helps organize and recommend equipment assets for an expedited recovery operation following a wide area release of nuclear contamination).

Thought Leader: In global research on radiological decontamination and recovery for urban settings

Highly regarded by US EPA sponsors for his extensive technical expertise and numerous contributions to USG capabilities to prepare for and respond to radiological incidents including tools ​“to prioritize cleanup efforts, expedite recovery, and optimize resources,” and his ability to combine technical aptitude with to create practical approaches, guidelines and tools.

Worldwide recognition in urban resiliency led to collaborations with Israeli, British, Canadian, Swiss, and Singaporean allies and as the subject-matter expert (SME) for DoD and DHS, resulting in an invitation to serve on the IAEA mission First Experts Meeting in Fukushima, Japan (2016).

Hosted the first of its kind, International Workshop on the Use of Municipal and Commercial Equipment for Radiological Response and Recovery where SMEs from the U.S, the United Kingdom and Switzerland met to discuss the use of existing equipment reserves to compress the response timeline and recover from a radiological or nuclear contamination event in an urban environment (2016).

Launched an initiative to establish an International Technical Working Group for CBRN Mitigation and Recovery. With co-founders, recruited 30 participants representing 13 countries since launch in Nov. 2019.  Currently finalizing the first position paper and initial working group structure on this effort (2019).

Mentor: Influences and invests in the next generation of diverse scientists and engineers.

“I hope [the students] see how special we are at the lab, what talent we look for in order to solve the world’s toughest problems, and that they are part of this,” said Kaminski. ​“They are part of the group of people who need to be involved in order for us to be most competitive.”

Served as advisor for more than a dozen graduate students and post-doctoral appointees and mentored 20 undergraduate students. Current team consists of a Postdoctoral appointee, a Doctoral student and a Doctoral candidate at the University of Illinois (Dept. of Physics, and Dept. of Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering), and two Argonne Associates. Includes diverse gender and ethnic minorities.

Kaminski – who is of Mexican heritage – Co-founder (2003), Past Vice President and long-standing President (since 2010) of the Argonne Hispanic/Latino Club (HLC) Employee Resource Group (ERG). Under his leadership, the HLC has grown to approximately 80 official members per year for almost ten years. Initiated program that established five Chicagoland Hispanic youths scholarship programs and distributed more than $40,000 in scholarships.

Speaks at Career Day events held at local grade, middle, and high schools and is initiating a program to help provide minority professionals to local schools to improve community outreach at the Laboratory.

Awards:

Technical achievements awards include: Sun-Times Innovation Award; Council for Chemical Research Collaboration Award; Outstanding Technical Achievement Award (HENAAC -Hispanic Engineer National Achievement Conference); Hispanic Power Hitters in Technology and Business; and ​“40 under 40 in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics”

HLC react to MC bringing them to a sex shop to find new toys/lingerie???

OMG I love this! I'm gonna have so much fun with this

HLC react to MC bringing them to a sex shop to find new toys and lingerie

Warnings: 18+ topics, the gang is 20+ years old btw, everybody is thirsty, Leander slander

Sebastian Sallow - His jaw is practically on the ground as you approach the shop entrance and he realizes what all the X's above the door mean. He's giggling like a schoolgirl as you drag him to the lingerie section, his head on a swivel trying to take everything in. "MC, babygirl, are we here for something in particular or should we just buy one of everything?" He's winking at you so much you almost wonder if he's having a stroke and there is an undeniable tent in his pants the entire time. As you leave you tell him you’re shocked he didn’t try anything in the dressing room. He admits it was a missed opportunity and will definitely do it next time, part of him wanting to demand you go back so he can correct this unthinkable situation. 

Garreth Weasley - He’s shocked at the selection they have, and he follows you around as you try to look for a spicy new outfit. He plays with the thongs displayed on a table, twirling them around his fingers, accidentally sending one flying as he tugs on the straps. He’s much more behaved as you browse the toys, until he sees the jeweled butt plugs. He eagerly digs his hands into the bin looking for one with a red, heart shaped rhinestone, spinning around to face you when he finds one, his brows raised and a wicked grin on his face. “Oh you are so getting this, baby!”

Poppy Sweeting - She’s not quite sure why you brought her here. She feels very uncomfortable, but can’t help looking at the shelves as you slowly wander the aisles. When you make it to the dildo/strapon aisle you notice her falling behind as you keep moving, her shoes squeaking as she stops in her tracks in front of a mannequin wearing a strapon harness with a huge dildo, biting her lip. She eagerly grabs the packages off the shelf and you step close, peering over her shoulder. “Who exactly is that for?” you ask with a small chuckle. “You or me?” She spins around, taking you off guard, gently pushing you up against the opposite shelf. “ME.” Her lips crash onto yours, and you stand there making out as she rubs herself on your thigh. 

Imelda Reyes - She is the one insisting you visit the shop. Once she gets inside her cheeks flush at the lingerie displays, desperately biting her tongue to keep from begging you to get some. While you browse the toy selection she complains at every one you pick up, insisting she could do a better job of pleasing you than “a cheap, mass produced toy ever could, MC!” You convince her to try a clitoral suction toy and a few hours later she’s screaming too much to eat her words as she has her fourth orgasm from the toy, squirting all over your face. 

Natty Onai - She’s the most eager of everyone, running around the store picking up toys left and right, almost shouting “We’re trying this, MC, I’m not letting you say no.” She’s asking the teenage clerk for advice and info, making you want to hide your face. When she finally makes it to the lingerie section it gets worse. She’s picking out things for both of you, pouting when you say you don’t like the style or color. It takes her three armfulls to unload the cart and the final cost is outrageous. 

Leander Prewett -  He turns into a cocky bastard when you step into the store. “Oh these are great, MC, we should try them.” You roll your eyes at him, knowing full well he has NO experience with the cockring he’s holding. He gets upset when you pick up a dildo that’s larger than him, insisting “bigger isn’t always better”. When you make it to the lingerie he clams up, running his fingers over a lace teddy as if it’s an everyday object he couldn’t care less about. “Whatever you want, MC, you’ll look spectacular in any of it.” Constantly shifting around and adjusting his pants. 

Amit Thakkar - Is so overwhelmed he has to wait outside. You’re about to check out when the door to the shop flys open and he charges inside. “Okay, I’ll give you ten minutes to show me things before I leave again, MC.” He steps close, whispering in your ear. “I’m only doing this because I love you…and I can’t stop thinking about you wearing the blue lingerie set that caught my eye before I ran out earlier.” 

Ominis Gaunt - Blushes so hard you’re worried he’s going to pass out as you explain what all the toys do. When you get to the bondage gear his demeanor changes. He insists on holding the leather cuffs and whips as you describe them. He asks you to describe certain items in more detail when you awkwardly trail off, getting excited by his interest. He teasingly asks if you’d like him to use any of it on you, and calls you a naughty girl when you stutter out a soft “yes”.  When it comes time to pick out lingerie you know he likes the feel of lace and silk, and pick out a few outfits that leave you modestly covered. He hums his approval of them, wishing he could feel them on your body instead of on a hanger. Once you’ve paid he rushes you out of the store, desperate to try out your new purchases.

HLC reacting to you heading to kick someone's butt on behalf of someone else.

Just the boys this time, if people want me too I'll do the gals next! The characters are 18+

TW: hints of violence, swearing, a tiny bit of spice

The situation: You overhear a girl crying about her boyfriend cheating on her. After calming her down and letting her know it's not her fault you ask for his name. The war path is set. Conjuring a bat, you beeline to where he was last at. The boys are all in a corridor having a not serious argument about something. As you storm by Amit asks what you are doing.

You: On my way to kick someone's ass! Anyone wanna join?

Sebastian: Ever the ride or die, he doesn't even ask why the person is getting beat up. He only asks if he also needs "one of those long Quidditch bats".

Ominis: Debating if he wants to stop you or not. He knows you wouldn't fight someone without a good reason, but he doesn't want you to get into trouble either. And on top of that he doesn't want to get in the way when you're this angry.

Garreth: Scared but also...aroused? Does he help? Should he stop you? Why do you look so hot when you're angry? Should he be concerned that he finds you hot when you're angry?

Leander: Terrified.png. He is making mental notes to never get you this angry. Don't get me wrong, he isn't hiding from you or anything. But he NEVER wants to be on the receiving side of that anger.

Amit: The king of "not my business". He heard nothing and saw nothing, and is absolutely not going to get in your way. He has seen what you can do when you fight and wants none of it.

The First Writing Hub Server

Hosting the previous season of the WHSMP, the original Hub was home to the Realm and the Alliance, along with the draconics. We don’t know what happened to it but it’s lost to us now. Some say it was the primordial overseer who created a black hole in a fit of destruction, or that the war eventually caused too much destruction the the land before it fell apart on its own. 

The origins of the current WHSMP lie in many different worlds, but this first world is the origins of our origins. There, it all started in a village in a desert. Once abandoned, it soon grew to prosperity with the help of a primordial being in a meteor.

From this village, people spread across the world. As they spread, factions developed.

The two factions, the Realm and the Alliance declared war, and the time of peace was over. A cold war stretched the year, and though battles were planned, what could have been wasn't meant to be.

This village was the start, and it was the end. As said above, we don't know the cause of the destruction. From this original world, there was a fracture. Two worlds rose, the Myre and the Server.

The one our SMP is on is the Myre, but that does not mean the Server has no relevance. No, some came from that Server to this world, to continue growing and changing, just like those of us behind the screens.

The more distant history of the original server will be posted in separate posts:

Feliz mes del orgullo! Happy pride month!

Un dibujo conmemorativo por el mes del orgullo de un oc mio. Su nombre es Carlotta (Carl para abrebiar) y es un chico trans. Suelo rolear con el en discord en el server "Hotel Los Creadores"

Creo que esto seria todo que tengo para comentar. Asi que. Feliz mes chicos. Se les quieres mucho, nos vemos

A commemorative drawing for the month of pride of an oc mio. His name is Carlotta (Carl for short) and he is a trans boy. He usually roleplays with him on discord on the "Hotel Los Creadores" server.

I think this would be all I have to comment. So. Happy month guys. You love them a lot, see you

If you’ve sent me an ask or request lately, I promise I’m working on it! I’ve been feeling a little blah lately and writing has been a huge struggle. Thanks for being patient with me loves 💖💖💖

[heartshapedcreaturefromcriptoon]

...O...OP should make a version of this with the wheelchair accessibility symbol and tag me and then it would be perfect for me to print out and put on my wall, *or buy, which was my initial first reaction to seeing this, but...

If I must be a weird gremlin then I will be the weird gremlin who puts the smile back on his face ...

(Which adds extra funny, considering my updated OC for hazbin/hellaverse in general is like an all green and pink Bride of Frankenstein Creature even though she hasn't been properly unveiled to you guys yet haha shh I'm a roll! 🤫💚🫶💖♿😈🌹✨

Anyway, she'll be commin' out the Cauldron when she comes, it's a whole process and I'm trying to be such a tight lipped, good girl about it, even though I'm sure no one will mind that I can't resist being a little tease! 🤭😉💖🌹✨)

EDIT: I think in all the hilarity I think I marvelously misunderstood just who was being called a "Weird Gremlin" here but it works either way I suppose...

*yes that was my second attempt at writing over the text because editing with tiny ass text for memes is hard okay? Lol ...🫶❤️🫂

*plus there's so many negative posts and attitudes out there about just not doing anything "weird" with Al ever that I initially thought it was the over way around that this was like a positivity post/shout out to the "Weird Gremlins" doing just that, lol ... 🤣 ❤️🙏
