Galladrabbles -Jail Bird Valentine 💌

Better get my @galladrabbles in by @look-i-love-u before my turn next week

---- -----

"Brown, Hillard, Milkovich, Sullivan! Mail!" Bellows the CO shoving envelopes at each teen.

"Who the Fuck?"

Mickeys left standing perplexed with a white envelope. Who the hell is sending him mail in juvie? Not like his family ever cared.

Back in the privacy of his cell, he slowly pulls out a simple card, with the Chicago skyline tinted shades of red.

Mick

Stay out of trouble in there

Like you better when you're out here

Your shIt heAd sister maNdy

He then quickly tucked it between the wall and bunk frame, not that he really cared who actually sent it.

[im-totally-not-an-alien-2]

Danny didn't know what to do with all these flowers. Sure, Amity had done a 180 after they stopped listening to his parents (its just a shame what had happened to them) and they now loved thier guardian and savior.

Which brought him back to the flowers. It was the day after Valentines and he had gotten gifts from what felt like everyone in the city (except Vlad who was in ghost jail via the Observants) leading him to having a massive pile of flowers, stuffed animals and candy to figure out what to do with.

Obviously most of the stuffing were going to be decorating his lair in the GZ but the flowers would rot eventually and he didn't even own a single vase anyway. He was not going to mention the chocolate.

Then Tucker gave him an idea. He can just give them away to other heros.

Cackling he set about plans to ambush the batfam who he had met once or twice when he was exploring through dimensions (and promptly chased out of the city)

He started with Red Robin the smartest and arguably the cutest of the brood. He had picked a good time too because birdy looked five steps away from falling asleep on the rooftop while running, so when Danny through a bouquet or roses at him the soft petals clocked him right in the face.

The look he gave was one of pure confusion as he stared at the plants. Then, all too soon it clicked and the vigilantes face turned a lovely shade of red as he looked around for whoever tossed them. Luckily Danny stayed off the visible spectrum that night.

The next victim was Spoiler who he clocked in the back of the head while she was distracted by talking to a civilian. The yelp she made was glorious and almost made Danny cackle and give away his position.

Red Hood Danny had to be the hardest one. Sneaking up on him was almost impossible. He could sense RH like he could a ghost but something was definitely off. He wondered if Hood could sense him too. Is that how he always seemed to know he was around. It didn't matter in the end because Danny had a lot of free time without the ghost attacks and a near endless supply of ammo. Still. Danny was getting irritated and just decided to chuck flowers at the guy until he landed a hit. He didn't know why hood was freaking out so much over flowers or why he was shooting at the flowers or even what "Pit" he was screaming about but the moment he got a hit in Danny decided to bounce.

Robin was funny. He threw a bouquet and the little bird caught it like a sword before inspecting it with a raised eyebrow.

Orphan was nice. She caught her bouquet gracefully in her arms almost as if she was expecting it and held it to her chest before looking right at him and waving.

While he was invisible.

He bolted.

Occasionally he liked to interfere with the bats rogue battles by throwing a single rose into the frey, startling the baddie of the hour and giving the bat or bats time to collect themselves. Yeah thats right. He Tuxedo Mask'd them. Something that infuriated some of the bats and got other giggling.

He at least knew better not to do this to Poison Ivy. For her he portaled in something special. The look on her face when one of those battery powered toddler jeeps came racing down the street with a full rose bush in a glass bubble and into the fight was something he'd cherish forever. Especially when she realized she couldn't control the thing thanks to the glass.

This leads to the last bird.

Nightwing was probably one of the best victims hes had. He took it like a champ and even played along, giving a little speech about being honored to receive such a gift, prompting Danny to throw individual flowers at the heros feet. Nightwing continued talking and Phantom kept giving him flowers, distracted by what the hero was saying and slowly drifting closer until-

The kick to the side of the head didn't really hurt, when you get used to being thrown through buildings not much could really hurt you anymore but it was enough to stun him and force him to drop his invisibility. Another kick and a few shocks from a pair of acrizma sticks for struggling and he was on his belly at Nightwings feet. He felt something fasten around his wrist and his core felt restricted but he didn't transform back into Fenton.

Crap. Power dampening cuffs.

He was so screwed.

Danny was later upset to discover there was a whole other bat he didn't know about or even get to target once due to him being on the daylight shift.

did you know that negaduck from darkwing duck was based off reverse-flash? yeah, that doesnt even BEGIN to describe what's actually been going on between their character histories..

first, negaduck wasnt just inspired by or a reverse-flash parody. he's a literal copy-paste of silver age thawne with a very few changes of origin place from future to parallel universe and identity from some random future guy to main hero's evil twin, because originally eobard was fixated on being a Criminal and not particularly flash's nemesis. back in the day, thawne constantly mentions how much he loves his criminal life. half of his lines are negaduck-worthy purely because the rest is related to being a speedster scientist. my personal favorite as an example:

he passes the speed limit law in central city so that barry couldnt use superspeed without breaking it but thawne still could because he is 'a hardened criminal'. he invents rays that turn everything inflicted evil (something even negaduck has never done (ig solely because megavolt's already done it in the negaduck episode where he accidentally splits darkwing into good dw (posiduck) and bad dw(negaduck, with a black and gray color scheme), and while yellow negaduck is a different character this is basically how the idea of him was born and the writers just decided to keep him in a different form bc the gray one merged back into normal dw at the end which is super funny. imagine coming up with a duck villain and going 'oh this guy actually reminds me a lot of reverse-flash with all that opposite/negative thing. LET'S PAINT HIM IN THOSE COLORS AND GIVE HIM THE SAME PERSONALITY AND SIMILAR ORIGIN THIS TIME'), altho he DOES test the power gem on a cat in jail bird like thawne did with evil rays). he repeatedly tries to get poor former dr alchemy back to crime just because 'crime fun. why cant you see that. im doing it for your own good' and negaduck tried something like that with morgana in feb 14th episode my valentine ghoul (+that brief scene with gos from 2016 comics run where he believes she must be bad deep down inside out of comparsion to nega!gosalyn). negaduck also travels from a whole other world just to fuck around here for fun (there was this bronze age flash issue called flashback where thawne gets lost in the timestream because barry pushed the wrong buttons in his time capsule which is almost exact negaduck's fate in life, the negaverse and everything) and one of another few differences related is that negaduck is shown to be a dictator of his universe's St. Canard who is bored to live somewhere he already has all the power so he travels to another universe to cause problems on purpose.

second. dc's new52. eobard is rewritten again, now he and zoom are kind of one character. but guess what else is new in this version that never happend neither in zoom or professor zoom's lives? thawne is a fucking dictator in his own time. and people tried to fight his rule in flash's name just like friendly four needed darkwing as inspiration to finally fight back for their world.

he gets his own team, acolytes of zoom (i wish i could call them local fearsome 4 but there are 5 of them, making it more of a sinister 6 if you count thawne) which he trains for centuries to fight the flash and betrays later by trying to steal their powers just like negaduck stole f4's in jail bird to become mega-negaduck and if all that wasnt enough, without the mask he straight up looks like negaduck humanization. look at him. this mf is only missing a hat and a cape.

also these sudden black parts in his new speedster suit design? either it is some absolute fucking bonkers of a coincidence or someone on the flash writing team really went 'hey guys you know what would be real funny? lets base new thawne off negaduck. like he was originally based off thawne. i swear no one will notice' and everyone went with that. (i could also mention he has the same dumb motivation for being evil (having shitty childhood/being deep down sad about mistreatment and loneliness) as 2011 dwd comics run negaduck but imo that's too far of a stretch to actually be included)

third. yall know the deal of the first season of cw's the flash? yeah, what if i told you the whole thawne messes with the particle accelerator and causes barry to gain superspeed thing already fucking happend in darkwing duck, episode going nowhere fast?

(the way i lost my mind over this back in the day when i decided to watch dwd just because negaduck reminded me of thawne(i didnt even know he was a direct rip-off, i just went 'oh wait dt universe has this evil fuck that wears the same color scheme as reverse-flash? girl i AM checking the whole thing out just to see if he's anything like thawne'.) and first watched the episode... priceless, still haunts me to this very day. how the hell was that written in 1991. did cw writers just take the idea from dwd too. honestly i cant be sure about anything anymore).

and remember in the duck knight returns (2011 comics run arc) flashbacks there was a super funny thing with negaduck not knowing dw's secret identity and being so proud he cracked the case? remember cw!og!thawne looking for flash's time period and not knowing his identity in 2nd season cameo episode? what the hell was even up with that!!! like guys. guys one of you is the most devoted flash fan from the future and there is NO way none of that kind of information was left a CENTURY after (i mean come on dude couldntve you just asked gideon. she literally had that 2024 newspaper about vanishing and thats at the very least not mentioning she was created by barry) and another is straight up the same fucking person as the hero with the same fucking relatives and enemies. idk take a wild guess??? ((i really wonder if anybody on the wirting team of 2011 dwd run saw not just life, the negaverse and everything but any episode featuring negaduck at all. not only do they ignore the existence of nega!gos in the 'oh he mean bc alone :(' approach, they ignore the very definition of negaduck's character which is literally evil drake mallard. i mean sure hes dumb and may miss obvious clues because of being the same dw just evil but come on, such a comedic situation and never addressed by drake whos literally been in the negaverse and knows they are the same person or by anyone else he coluldve told that? oh well unless drake is also dumb af and thought there never was any drake mallard in the negaverse in the first place and that negaduck is some other guy. which is a real probability i suppose))

also. negaduck's death by being split on billions of evil particles in crisis on infinite darkwings and thawne, being 'exorcised' from nash's body in a form of a negative speed force stream with sparks in 6x15 of cw's the flash.

fourth! yall did watch ducktales 2017 reboot, right? specifically the duck knight returns episode? they introduce a whole new version of negaduck there! and guess what. jim starling, an old darkwing duck (in-universe 90s tv series) actor obsessed with his role, goes fucking nuts because there is a new darkwing duck actor in a new movie and he didnt even know. because he feels forgotten. because no one remembers neither him nor original series (objectievely not true bc obviously launchpad and drake but to jim they just dont count bc reasons. he seems to count only children but calls lp his fan when anthagonizes drake for taking even that from him in the end). because he was replaced and no one even bothered to tell him. he causes a fire on the set, almost kills drake but does have a change of heart at the end after launchpad's speech about what darkwing duck stands for and seemingly sacrifices himself to save drake and lp from the explosion. then they have the worst idea they could have in relation to jim's character ever: for drake to be a real life darkwing duck to honor jim's sacrifice. so naturally he hears that from the sewers or wherever he was hiding to see their reactions(look i am. 100% sure that this is what happened bc that makes so much more sense than jim getting brain damage or whatever from that explosion and waking up to choose violence again for no other reason). he gets hit with the being replacable and forgotten thing once again and renders back to negaduck tendencies, for all we know for good this time as his darkwing suit changes to the yellow-red one. yk who else went on a rampage because he felt forgotten and replaced? you guessed it! the return of barry allen, a 90s classic where thawne goes to 21st century for the first time, thinks he's barry (original-ish flash) because dissociation from trauma of seeing himself being killed by his hero and acts exactly like starling, having the same issues as motivation aka him/barry being forgotten and replaced by wally. he implies wally taking on the flash mantle is most disrespectful to barry. he rants about how he's the only flash and threatens to destroy not only the flash family but the whole central city for forgetting that. he and wally have a conflict of legacy similar to jim and drake's conflict in dt17. he is The starling blueprint only a lot more mentally ill. also we've heard something like the duck knight returns in running scared (this one is less reminiscent of jim but still features some things that werent in the return of barry allen). it's a rebirth arc that introduces another new origin of reverse-flash. now, he's been hyperfixated on barry allen his whole life (on a whole new level i mean) and there was the first meeting in 25th century where they Connected like thawne always believed they would. that day ended up in a fight and thawne's imprisonment because he set up casualties to get attention and praise for being the flash of 25th century but unlike all other versions this thawne has a change of heart after the fight, too. he promises to 'fix everything' including himself, he even goes to therapy afterwards. then he goes to the 21st century to tell barry how much he accomplished since they last met and then sees barry saying to wally one meaningful phrase he said to thawne that perfect day. like it wasnt something special only barry and eobard shared. like the day they met never happened. like he forgot thawne ever existed. like he was replaced as barry's speedster partner/friend/whatever he thought they were after that day by wally. and that shatters thawne so much he runs back to 25th and just decides to become the reverse-flash and make barry suffer until he gives him attention and recognition he deserved. frank angones, i am inside your walls. you CANT deny you based your versions of dw and nd off flash comics and thawne particularly. and more, you legit made reverse!eobarry au and put it in dt in duck forms. i have been losing my mind about it for 3 years now. i am exposing you and there is nothing you can do to escape that.

fifth(ish). yeah, and btw about friendly four from life, the negaverse and everything. did you think they actually escaped being mirrored in the flash? ha. i present to you reverse-rogues from the 25th century aka the renegades, carefully created by zoom and thawne himself, thinking it would somehow be funny.

cant believe hunter once saw it on tv put 2 and 2 together and went 'eobard my dude we need to go full negaverse with the 25th century. we need a friendly four to your negaduck. i swear it'll be Hilarious'. god the only thing they lack at this point is nega!gosalyn (i mean. hunter actually did try something like that with inertia, saving him from the museum and trying to teach him how to torture flashfam into improving them but thad was more of a nega!honker and reverted hunter to crippled powerless state just because. love that kid)

and that's all i have so far, if anyone here also into both yellow-red mfs with no life feel free to comment or even add more because there sure is or at least will be more and no one has the power to stop it.

History and Current Celebration of Valentine's Day

So I wrote this up for Arocalypse but thought people here might find it interesting!

This is in response to someone asking if Valentine's is strictly about romantic love or if it can be extended to include familial/platonic love:

Interesting question! Interesting because Valentine's Day originally actually had nothing at all to do with love. Valentine's Day originated as a Christian celebration marked with a feast to celebrate the martyr, St. Valentine. Valentine was minister for Christians being persecuted under the Roman Empire. He's become associated with courting/romantic love but is more accurately the saint of Terni (a city), beekeeping, and epilepsy. (Pretty random assortment. I cannot figure out what the connection between beekeeping and epilepsy may have been or if they were just things he was known for caring about?) He was martyred on Feb 14th, hence the celebration being today.

This gets even more interesting because Valentine was actually beheaded because he was caught continuing to perform marriage ceremonies for young couples after the Roman Emperor Claudius banned marriage and engagements in Rome, believing that love for their wives/families was stopping Roman men from joining the army. So you would think this would legitimately be a reason for Valentine's Day to be associated with love. And yet...

Valentine's has been celebrated since around the 8th century, but it wasn't until the 14th/15th centuries that it became associated with romantic love and courting. It's thought that this shift occurred for a few reasons. The first is that "courtly love" (literally performing grand acts to show love/loyalty/dedication, most associated with knights going out on grand quests) began to emerge as a concept during this time, somewhat loosely inspired by the grand mating displays of birds - the connotations being that birds start to perform these rituals in early spring around the this holiday time. For humans, this meant gifting flowers, candy, and cards. That's right - the holiday didn't even become associated with romantic love for the potentially logical reason it could have been. It just became romantic because people decided to become more and more ridiculously grand with their romantic relationships and Valentine's was a seemingly convenient day to celebrate this on. !? (There is an unsubstantiated legend that while he was jailed and awaiting his death, Valentine wrote a letter to the jailer's daughter, signed "From Your Valentine" and that's where Valentine cards derived from. It's interesting that this became romantic because in some versions of the legend, Valentine cured the jailer's daughter of blindness, thus being her healer, and in others, they are usually referred to as friends. So there isn't even a seemingly romantic connotation here.)

Of note, it is a standing tradition in Italy that keys ("St. Valentine's keys") are swapped, not only to romantic partners (a symbol of "unlocking each other's hearts") but also to children in order to ward off epilepsy. So there are traditions even today that aren't simply romantic.

In Costa Rica, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, Valentine's Day is called two names, one of which translates to "Day of Love and Friendship"). Aside from being a romantic holiday, celebrating friendship and doing things for your friends is common on Valentine's in Latin American countries such as these.

Apparently in Afghanistan, before the 21st century (before Taliban rule), poetry is common for Valentine's celebrations and folk were using it to make political statements about the erosion of their freedoms. It sounds like this was rather generational, yet common enough to end up on wiki.

In Bangladesh, they celebrate pretty much any bond, including parent/child, friends, and teacher/student bonds. Note this is rather recent, beginning only in 1993. Before that - and to some still - it's celebrated as an Islamic day of anti-authoritarianism.

Japan gets really interesting. Again, it wasn't introduced until later, first being celebrated in 1936. In the 1950s, it began picking up as a commercial holiday to sell chocolate (while other gifts are fairly uncommon). In fact, there was one such advert that was mistranslated and led to a movement where women were supposed to gift male coworkers chocolate. I'm not clear on how common it is, but apparently women have felt obligated to have to gift chocolate to all their male coworkers, leading to a ranking system of "obligatory chocolates" (cheap chocolates for less liked/desirable male coworkers) and "true chocolates" (expensive/deluxe chocolates for more liked/desirable male coworkers). This custom continued at least through the 1980s, when the marshmallow industry rallied to try and start a competing holiday in March where men would gift marshmallows to female coworkers. (Fun fact, this is referred to as "White Day" and while it never took off in Japan, both South Korea and Taiwan celebrate a version of Valentine's/White Day where each binary gender takes a day to gift to the other.) So Valentine's is not really romantic in Japan; their romantic holiday is apparently on what others of us may celebrate as Christmas Eve.

In both Estonia and Finland, their holiday name for Valentine's translates to "Friend Day" and friendship is celebrated today rather than romantic love.

While Greece currently celebrates Valentine's as a romantic holiday, this wasn't the case until the 1990s. It's unclear on if this holiday used to be celebrated as something else or wasn't celebrated before then, but in Greek tradition, the Saint who represented people in romantic love had a feast day on July 3rd instead.

***Please note I'm largely summarizing from wikipedia for all this info.

IN CONCLUSION:

A) Valentine's Day originally had nothing to do with romantic love at all in the first place; largely it exists today primarily as a commercial holiday to promote candy/card/flower sales

B) Several countries already have non-romantic celebrations associated with Valentine's Day, some of which are prioritized above romantic celebrations

C) Holidays can evolve over time

So I decree that Valentine's Day can be for whatever you want it to be for. There are no actual rules, just common understandings. Valentine's Day was bastardized to be romantic. Bastardize it more for whatever suits your purposes!

There was a post going around about a couple in a queerplatonic relationship who decided Valentine's Day should actually be Jeff Goldblum Day, the day for appreciating Jeff Goldblum, such as by watching any of his movies. Personally, this is what I decided to go with and re-watched the original Jurassic Park trilogy (even though Goldblum wasn't in the third, I couldn't just not watch it). :P

Heaven Sent- Eddie Munson

Summary: it’s Valentine’s Day and Eddie of course, thinks you’re the prettiest thing he’s ever seen

Pairing: Eddie Munson x OC reader

Warnings: Fluff

“I’ll pick you up at six. Wear that pretty blue dress I like. You know the one. Love you.”

Eddie’s words were ringing in my head as I glared at my reflection in the mirror. I couldn’t get my hair to curl right, I couldn’t get my makeup right, and I was getting increasingly more frustrated as I listened to the clock ticking closer and closer to six. I hadn’t even gotten dressed, the blue frilly dress hanging on the back of my closet door and mocking me. I stared at it before taking it off the hanger and slipping into it. I walked back over to the mirror and stared, again glaring. Tugging on the skirt I huffed in frustration.

“Mom!” I shouted, not even opening the door. Last I had heard her walk past she’d been walking towards the bedroom and hadn’t come out yet, getting ready for her date night as well.

“What honey?” She didn’t knock, since I had the door cracked open. “Oh. You look beautiful.”

“I look stupid. This dress makes me look dumb and my hair looks stupid and my makeup isn’t right and-“

“Jennifer.” I stopped. “I know, I know. You look fine. Eddie’s going to think you look beautiful.”

“You don’t even like him.”

“Not particularly but I think it’s sweet that he didn’t want you to be lonely on Valentine’s Day.” Sometimes she was dense, thank God. “After all the stuff with his father-“

“Yes, Mom, his dad was a shithead-“

“Jennifer Anne-“

“Jesus, fine, his dad is awful, but his dad is in jail and Eddie wouldn’t hurt a fly. He’s more like his mom, at least from what he and Wayne have told me about her. And you and Dad went to school with Wayne and you liked him.”

“Wayne was very nice, but that brother of his-“

“Yes, we established he’s the worst.” The doorbell rang. “Oh God.”

“I’ll get it, Jen, you finish up in here.” She disappeared, cracking the door shut on her way out.

I turned to look back at myself in the mirror again. I tried to smooth out the skirt from where it had wrinkled from me grabbing at it. I could faintly hear conversation, Eddie stuttering and my Mom asking where we were going, since he’d never told me. I fiddled with my earrings for a second before grabbing my perfume and spraying it on. I heaved a sigh before beginning my walk downstairs.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Hastings I’m just really-“ Eddie stopped as he looked at me. “Wow. You look beautiful bi- Jen.” He smiled tightly.

“Thanks Eddie.” I stopped at the bottom of the stairs, and he glanced between my Mom and I for several seconds.

“Oh! I got you these.” He produced a small bouquet of daisies and sunflowers from behind his back. “Your favorites. Oh, and I got you a card.”

“Thank you.”

“I’ll take those.” Eddie gingerly handed off the flowers and the card. “Have a good night, and not too late.”

“Of course not, Mrs. Hastings.” Eddie held out his hand to me, and I took it as he led me out the front door and down the sidewalk towards the van. “Do I look ok?”

In truth, I was too nervous about my own appearance I hadn’t registered what Eddie was even wearing. I paused for a second to look at him. A button up that didn’t fit him quite right, and probably the nicest pair of jeans and shoes that he owned. I tilted my head at him.

“Did you borrow a button up from Wayne?” He nodded.

“I look stupid don’t I?” I snorted.

“If either one of us looks stupid it’s me.”

“Bird, you look like an angel. Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven?” I rolled my eyes at him.

“Ok, cheesy pickup line.” He opened the passenger door of the van for me, helping me in before shutting the door and heading to the drivers side. “So where are we going?”

“Is this going to be an interrogation now?”

“Did you tell my Mom?”

“I didn’t want her to think I was kidnapping you. At least not yet, because you’re definitely not going home tonight.”

“I didn’t bring clothes.”

“No need to fret, I may or may not have pilfered some the last time I was over. That ugly ass sweater you like so much-“

“That’s where that went?” He laughed as he pulled away from the house. “I’ve been looking all over for that thing.”

“I know you have.” The radio was quiet for once as we drove into town. I assumed movie, from the direction we were headed, until he parked in front of Enzo’s. “Surprise.”

“Eddie.”

“I’ve been saving since we started dating so I could bring you here for Valentine’s Day. And I’ll be damned if I’m not about to take the prettiest girl in Hawkins on a nice date for once in my goddamn life.”

“Eddie-“

“Jen. I’m not going to let our first Valentine’s Day go by and I just take you somewhere stupid. I know I may not have gotten the money in the best way but I’m taking you in there for dinner.”

“Will you let me talk?” He turned to me, stunned and nervous. “Thank you. You didn’t have to. I would’ve been happy with a movie at yours with some popcorn. This is more than enough.”

“You sure?”

“Yes Eddie I’m sure. And I’m starving.”

“Alright, alright. Happy Valentine’s Day.”

Tom Morley emailed around St Patrick's Day: "Marc, Our Chattanooga - based band Stringer's Ridge played a concert on St. Patrick's Day at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. (I am there on the faculty at the famous folk arts school usually once a year teaching beginning or intermediate Irish Fiddle.) We had a wonderful crowd and it was a great way to spend the best Irish day of the year! I am enclosing several photos of us at the historic Keith House where we put on the concert. (Tom Morley - fiddle, Fran Morley - bodhran, Bryant Haynes - guitar)

Thanks for all you do to promote Irish trad music!"

STRINGER'S RIDGE

Marilyn S. Hansen sent a photo about Easter Rising Band: "14 seminarians got together years ago in St. Louis and developed an Irish band. Most of them are married now. They play at each other’s weddings, but they also have regular gigs. The interesting part is how their kids take part… This is last year‘s celebration. I was out of town this year celebrating my sister’s birthday the day before St. Patrick’s Day. Thought I’d send you last year’s photo. I’ll send you a few that they’ve sent to me for this year.

EASTER RISING BAND

Pete Watson emailed St Pat's photos: "Hi Marc, The Bookends had a fabulous time playing a number of shows throughout Ontario around St. Patrick's Day.Attached is a photo of Miriam (left) and Cait (right) on St. Paddy's Day for our gig at The Rec Room, Toronto, with our regular special guest bodhrán player extraordinaire, Romano Di Nillo.Romano is just back from 4+ years with Come From Away on Broadway and we were so glad to have him with us for these shows.The venue was handing out some "paddywhackery" to attendees and these 3 couldn't resist putting some on!"

THE BOOKENDS-PETE WATSON

Bruce Cummings, a Piper emailed a photo: "Hey Marc!Just to say how much I enjoy listening to the Celtic music you provide. You asked for pictures from St. Patrick's Day 2023, so here's a couple. I am part of the Lane Fire Brigade Pipes and Drums in Eugene Ore. We had a great weekend piping in the area.Keep up the good work!"

BRUCE CUMMINGS PIPER

Jim O'Connor of Boston Blackthorne emailed a photo: "Hi Marc -hope you had a fabulous holiday!

Boston Blackthorne played 3 nights in Western MA, centered around St Patrick’s Day as well as the big parade (the nation’s oldest) in Holyoke MA.We played to crowded enthusiastic fans in Northampton MA and Holyoke MA.But perhaps the best gig (and story) was the one that arose spontaneously back in the lobby of our hotel after our St Pat’s evening show.

The hotel lobby is most frequently empty but this night is was crowded with about 100 boisterous folks from Minnesota, visiting Massachusetts to support a Women’s college Hockey team.

We were approached by the unofficial spokesperson who pointed at our guitar and fiddle and asked, “Can you really play those?”

I answered of course we can, and this is your lucky night!Not only has your party been invaded by musicians, we are an Irish band and this is St Patrick’s Day! We proceeded to unpack our instruments and did a set of singalongs like Charlie on the MTA for the Boston connection.Halfway through the set our wives came into the lobby -my wife grumbled to Pete’s wife, “This party is going to keep us up all night!”Pete’s wife Maureen looked a little closer and exclaimed, “Hey that’s Jim and Pete in the center of it all!”They joined the fray, we had the best gig of the year playing for this group of strangers from the Midwest, wonderful folks who doubtless went home with a great tale and the definition of the work “Craic!”

Sweetest Valentine (Visual Novel)

Created by: Syllphan

Genre: Mystery/Romance/Dark

Hello there everyone! I decided to move this recommendation up because of @bunnisartblog's ask on it. This is actually one of the first games where I didn't play it myself but instead asked my sla- I mean friend Cherry to play it and stream it. We went through all of the different endings and scenarios as best as we can. I was actually really worried that there wouldn't be a male yandere, but simply a single female one, but luckily we actually get both. It's also surprising that there's actually only one romance route instead of two, like what it initially looks like. I think it subverts a lot of stuff you would initially think would happen in a dating sim too, which is pretty neat.

The story starts out with the MC the day before Valentine's Day deciding who to give her Valentine's Day Gift to, her neighbor and childhood friend, Ichigo, or the popular boy, Yuzuki. Ichigo picks her up from her house, teasing her about not being to wake up early, and the two walk to school only to bump into Yuzuki, who seems to remember her. During class, Yuzuki seems distracted by the MC and messes up the question during class, causing the rest of the class to be in shock. While walking home, the MC mentions that their town has been having a lot of disappearances lately (very sus) and a boy bumps into her, causing him to drop something. Yuzuki sees the MC and walks her home, stating to her that he used to walk home with a friend of his before something ended up happening to them. While walking, the MC walks into Ichigo, and the three walk home to MC's house. At some point, the MC ends up opening the box the boy dropped, only to find a dead bird in it. Ichigo seems worried about the MC after this encounter, stating that someone might be after the MC. After reaching her house, she has the decision to choose either Yuzuki or Ichigo to go home with her.

If you choose Yuzuki, Ichigo will tease the MC for inviting him in and head home. Yuzuki follows her into the house where the MC gives him a gift and confesses to him. Initially, he seems to reject her, but after what seems like a glitch DDLC style, Yuzuki ends up happily accepting the confession and staying over. The two have some cute moments (and some bad endings involving losing a hand and falling down a flight of stairs), but something seems real off during this time. If the MC decides to remember the truth, we see what actually happens during the confession. Yuzuki thanks her for her confession, but states that he already has a lover and that he will be leaving town with him to go to Tokyo. The MC, shocked and upset by this, decides to kill Yuzuki so that he can be with her forever, thus what causes the cute hallucinations. At some point, we also see Ichigo question some guys at her school about the dead bird and being really suspicious outside of her house. He also seems really jealous stating that she shouldn't have been so obvious in bringing Yuzuki home with her. We get a flashback of Yuzuki and his lover, Haruto and it's really cute, watching the two fall in love with each other, with Haruto being the plain but smart detective type and Yuzuki being the "perfect" high ranking student. After the two confess their love for each other, they decide that they will go to Tokyo together to get away from their parents and start a new life. Back to the present, Haruto has been trying to track the person who is causing all of the disappearances in town and eventually tracks it back to the MC's place. Upon entering, he sees the bloodied MC and the dead body of her boyfriend. The MC can either decide to kill Haruto as well and then herself (causing Ichigo to lament over her death) or turn herself in, which prompts Ichigo to visit her in jail.

If you decide to choose Ichigo, Yuzuki decides to leave and Ichigo and she have a cute moment where they share chocolate and be buddy-buddy together. They go out and have a date where they tease each other for past events and eat food. They have a conversation about how the MC used to take care of their past rabbit, but that someone in their class ended up cutting it open and causing her to cry (which like, what kind of conversation is that anyways). Throughout the date, Ichigo will pull the MC to different places, clearly avoiding something that might be following them. Eventually, we head into Ichigo's house for a bit where the MC remembers something about Ichigo's parents and how he would promise her to never go into their room (sus). At some point, Ichigo goes out to confront Haruto, who has been stalking them for some time. As it turns out Haruto attempted to warn the MC about Ichigo with a note, but Ichigo ended up swapping out the note in the box with a dead bird. If the MC so chooses, she can go into the parent's room and find out that Ichigos parents are pretty dead. Ichigo will then appear to the MC, stating that he's killed someone to make sure that the MC stays happy and to protect her, just like what he did to the parents. The MC does a 180 and asks him how killing felt, and that she was the one who dissected the rabbit when they were younger, and that she always had this kind of twisted personality with her. She accepts him for his murders and the two end up moving around as killers changing disguises and living together (This is the true ending.) In other endings, sometimes the MC never finds out that Ichigo is the killer until much later on, and in one case, the MC actually ends up killing Ichigo by accident, or Ichigo leaves town to prevent the MC from ever knowing his secret.

This game is really unique in that it really goes in a lot of different directions and sort of stretches out what a yandere game can really have. I honestly thought that there would be two yanderes in this game, and there were, just not the two who I was expecting it to be. I really like how the MC actually did end up being just as or more psychotic than the yandere in question, especially during the true ending where she seems so enamored in watching Ichigo kill. It's rare to have yandere x yanderes in any media so it was a delight to see in this game. I also really like the relationship between her and Ichigo, both before and after they find out the two are a bit insane (it's also rather rare to find male yanderes with red hair, so that was interesting as well). I also was surprised at Yuzuki and Haruto because while there were hints of it in the tags, I honestly thought that Yuzuki and Ichigo would be the ones in love with each other. It's really unfortunate that the two will never be able to go to Tokyo together though since in pretty much all routes one or both of them end up dying before they can leave. I really like how in Yuzuki's route the MC becomes an unreliable narrator because I honestly thought that it would end up like DDLC where Yuzuki was somehow messing with the game, when in actuality, it was more like the MC becoming delusional to what she has done.

The creator stated they would create another game in the same universe (but it won't be yandere themed, unfortunately) as well as some other surprise that's coming in February. I hope in the future the creator would make more male yanderes in their games, so I will be eagerly awaiting it.

We’ve got some nonhuman besties in our head right? And they don’t really have traditional language where they’re from. So one of their voices is rain and the other is bird chirping. So when they talk to me it’s like

Eggman meme voice: WHAT ARE YOU TWO FUCKING TALKING ABOUT

(Said with much love lol)

as a nonhuman, i was *praying* to get this ask (so much so that I'm quickly double posting lol) because i get thattt,,,

when im fronting i dont really remember what i spoke but when im not fronting??? apparently i speak it frequently, i just can't remember because the brain is like "bro i dont know how to even pronounce this you're going to english jail"

so there's been many times I'll be talking with someone and someone else will just go "valentine... what the hell are you saying"

I think a lot of people(myself included) are worried that in this Carly reboot, Sam's character will be written off with some weak one-liner joke such as "oh, she's in jail now" or something like that. Here is a few ideas I came up with that are certainly better than some throw away one-liner, and I think would at the very least, adequately explain her absence without completely tarnishing her character...

At some point after the events of iCarly and Sam & Cat, Sam persued her passion for food as a career. She reconnected with Gibby, and the two of them re-established their old resturant, "Gibby's", that used to operate out of the basement in Ridgeway high school. Obviously now the resturant has evolved and it has relocated outside of Seattle(perhaps even at Hollywood Arts; continuing the trend of it being at a school, and keeping up with the canon that Sam moved to LA after iCarly ended). Now owners of a hectic, and booming business, both Sam and Gibby don't have the time to reconnect with Carly, Freddie, and Spencer. This kills two birds with one stone, as it obviously explains Gibby's absence too.

While Sam was running her babysitting service in Los Angeles with Cat Valentine, the two girls ended up babysitting the child of a big time television executive who found their antics to be charming and entertaining. Thinking the banter between the two of them could make for a great show on his network, he offers them an opportunity to make "Sam & Cat" an actual show within their universe, and the rest is history. With Sam now being an actor for this popular TV show, her schedule is far too busy to allow her to come back to Seattle and reconnect with the rest of the gang. I know, quite a meta explaination lol.

Shortly after the Sam & Cat series, and the episode #TheKillerTunaJump, Sam came home to Seattle with the hope to truly reconnect with Freddie. Unfortunately when she arrived, she found out through Spencer that Freddie had moved away for college and never told her. The fact the Freddie didn't even bother to mention it to her, even through a simple text, rubs her the wrong way, and she ultimately takes that as a sign that they weren't meant to be. Spencer offers to let her stay with him, but Sam graciously declines. With Freddie gone, and Carly still in Italy at this point, Sam feels it's time to finally let go of her old life and leaves Seattle again for good. Freddie obviously returns to Seattle himself later on(as he is in the reboot), but by this point Sam has drifted from the group.

Each of these are at least decently thought out of enough to respect the integrity of her character. It doesn't have to super elaborate, just something that doesn't paint her as a failure or a lowlife, and acknowledges her fairly and not in a throwaway fashion.
