On this day, March 13

In 2023: My Chemical Romance performed their 63rd show of the 2022-2023 Swarm tour in Meeanjin (Brisbane), Australia. At this show, an unreleased song (titled "Eagles" on the paper setlist) was performed for the 7th time ever, with new lyrics. Gerard Way wore a dark grey skirt suit and white shirt, and "Everything Under Control" was written on the drums. (🖤)

Watch the show here!

Timothée featured today in a new Variety article:

“He took every kid’s hand who came. He took a photograph with everybody who asked him, which was pretty much everyone. That was about his heart. But he’s also very savvy about marketing. He gets very engaged and brings ideas to the table.”

-Wonka producer David Heyman talking about Timothée’s idea to screen ‘Wonka’ to the children of After-School All-Stars

“I can’t imagine any other actor on the planet who could have played Willy Wonka and have the success that ‘Wonka’ had. You need everything to work in today’s world. IP alone is not sufficient. He [Timothée] wants to win, he knows how to win and he asks the right questions. He respects and cares about his fans. He feels a responsibility toward them.”

-Josh Goldstine, Warner Bros. president of worldwide marketing

“We can count on one or two hands, in any age range, the people who are legitimate movie stars. Timothée is absolutely that.”

-Dune producer Mary Parent

Animal of the Day!

Cauliflower Jellyfish (Cephea cephea)

(Photo by Derek Keats)

Conservation Status- Unlisted

Habitat- Indo-Pacific Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- 60 cm diameter

Diet- Zoo-plankton; Small fish

Cool Facts- The cauliflower jellyfish resembles more of a plant than an animal. Despite not having eyes or a brain, these large jellyfish use the sun as its navigator. Descending into the deep during the day and ascending to the surface during the night, their bioluminescence attracts small prey. Despite having a deadly venom that easily kills small zoo-plankton, the spines on their tentacles are too small to pierce a human’s skin. Their main enemies are turtles and humans. Cauliflower jellyfish may not taste like their namesake but they are still eaten as a delicacy.

Rating- 13/10 (A glowy lad.)

A random shot from an anti-aircraft battery, whose gunners accidentally let go with eight shells in the New York metropolitan area on March 13, 1942, hit the Equitable Building in the financial district in lower Manhattan. The shell hit the corner (center foreground), about 400 feet above the street, between the 37th and 38th floors, chipping the corner stonework just above the ledge and knocking loose a small piece of the cornice just below the ledge.

Happy birthday to Yuri Gagarin and happy birthday to Valentina Tereshkova, the first people in space! Yuri Gagarin was born on March 9, 1934 and was the first man in space, while Valentina Tereshkova was born on March 6, 1937 and was the first woman in space!

I know it's been a while, but I'm posting this bearing in mind that today is also Donald's birthday (in addition to June 9). I certainly love that both Donald and Della in the cartoons and comics love space travel and that they are both astronauts and I would love to see more stuff like that about the two of them as well as the Duck family going into space. Yes, Gagarin also means duck.

Pattern info below

Pattern is Briar the Pygmy Rabbit! I haven't done amigurumi in quite a while and this was a nice break from the larger project I've been working on (a dress). I added some dried beans with the stuffing so its got some nice weight to it. The right eye turned out a little wonky so this is its good side lol. Joining was also kinda tough but worked out in the end.

Yarn was some brown alpaca gifted from my mom yearsss ago that I hadn't found a use for yet. It was nice to work with and I like the tan specks, but the thickness varied quite a lot and it was in like four broken sections instead of being continuous.

Napping Day 😴

[chalamet-chalamet]

In the run-up to the release of last December’s “Wonka,” Timothée Chalamet made a surprise visit to New York’s Hudson Yards for a screening of the fantasy musical for kids enrolled in After-School All-Stars. With the holiday season in full swing, he handed out gift bags filled with Xboxes, Nikes and, naturally, chocolate bars. It was a plan he concocted on his own and was followed by similar events, such as a January visit to a Minnesota high school, where he took selfies with students from the drama program. (Variety, 3/13/24)

“He took every kid’s hand who came. He took a photograph with everybody who asked him, which was pretty much everyone. That was about his heart. But he’s also very savvy about marketing. He gets very engaged and brings ideas to the table.”

Prompt 13 - Glare

@jegulus-microfic March 13 Word count 599

Previous part First part

They stood outside the ruins of the small. Regulus wasn’t sure how to describe it. Shack? The wood was rotted, the roof was barely there, and the door was gone completely, leaving the doorway open and gaping.

They’d decided Evan, Barty, Lily, and Pandora would stay behind. Having eight people apparate to the same broken-down dwelling would look suspicious if anyone saw them. Regulus had wanted to go on his own, but Remus needed to come with him, and where Remus went, Sirius followed, and then James had demanded he be allowed to come as well. So he and Sirius stayed under the invisibility cloak.  

“Right,” Regulus spoke to his companions. “I believe we are looking for a ring. The Gaunt family apparently prized this thing and refused to sell it even when the family fell into ruin. He and Remus cast a few revealing charms, checking that they wouldn’t be cursed if they crossed the threshold. They couldn’t find anything, so they tentatively stepped inside. Nothing happened. 

It took them less than fifteen minutes to locate the ring. It was hidden beneath the floorboards in the largest room. They’d only found it when James’s foot had stood on it just right that it creaked. Regulus and Remus had used their charms again and couldn’t find anything guarding it. He pulled the floorboard up and plucked the gold box from the gap underneath. 

He ran his hand over the cool, smooth lid. It was emblazoned with an emblem that he’d only recently been able to identify as the Gaunt family seal. He waved his wand over it, and the lid popped open. Nestled in an emerald silk scarf was a small black ring. It gleamed in the dim light, making Regulus shudder as he looked at it. He couldn’t believe it they’d found another Horcrux. 

Remus took it from him to look at and passed it to James and then Sirius. Regulus stood. “Right, let’s get it back to Evan’s, and we can—SIRIUS DON’T PUT IT ON!!!!” Sirius stopped dead in his tracks. He’d taken the ring from its box and was halfway to slipping it onto his finger. Regulus took the ring from his brother, sticking him with a glare before he placed the ring in his hidden pocket where it would be safe. 

He removed one of his rings and transfigured it to look like the Gaunt ring. He replaced it in the box and carefully returned it under the floorboard. They left the home of the once proud Gaunt family and apparated back to Rosier House. 

This time, Barty was happier to see them. He’d been pacing, his hair stuck up where he’d nervously run his hands through it. 

“Oh, thank you, Merlin, you’re alright.” He rushed Regulus and showed an uncharacteristic amount of worry for his friend. Even more surprising was when he dropped Regulus and wrapped his arms around Remus. Remus, taken aback, lamely patted him on the head. 

‘There, there, Crouch. We’re fine. We literally just walked in there and took it. There wasn’t even a repelling charm.” Barty leaned back so he could look at Remus’s face.

“You’re kidding, right? That’s so anti-climatic. Salazar Ball’s, Voldy is an arrogant prat. Imagine being so up yourself you don’t think anyone’s going to figure out who you’re real family is.” 

“Quite. We still need to figure out where the rest of them are. I’m still trying to track down where Riddle went after he left Hogwarts.” Regulus addressed the room. Evan pulled out a roll of parchment. 

“Actually, we’ve been doing some digging.”
