>>Peregrin Virtual Shop<<

This isn't going to be a great sales pitch, but please give it a look. We had to take our cat into the emergency vet today to find out he has diabetes. Which blindsided us because we literally checked for that last month. It came on and got bad in that short amount of time. And we're devastated.

They want to keep him overnight and get him fluids and on insulin, and we can't afford it. We just spent the last of our money taking our other cat to the vet on Thursday. I can barely keep up with all of this stress.

That black cat pin is actually based on this cat, Buddy, who has the diabetes. We just want to bring him home.

Loop Mornings

Enoch O’Connor x Reader Fluff

Miss Peregrines Home for Peculair Children

My eyes fluttered open as the sound of familiar birds sang their morning calls in the garden. I woke the same way every day. The same minute, of the same day, of the same year. September 3rd 1943. As always I closed my eyes again, attempting to fall back into a deep slumber.

I shivered as a breeze came through the window and snuggled deeper into the duvet and the strong arms that encompassed me. Enoch must have forgotten to close the window the night before after we'd spent the evening on the balcony. I felt my face heat up at the memory. Despite having been together for the past twenty years in the loop, the thought of the broody boy set my cheeks aflame and my stomach to flutter in nervous excitement.

As if he knew I was thinking about him, I felt Enoch shift beside me. He mumbled something illegible and pulled my body closer to him. I let out a breathless laugh and let myself be pressed against his chest. At last, I let my eyes open fully as I listened to his steady heartbeat in his chest. My fingers drew out intricate patterns with a featherlight touch on his chest, being as careful as I could not to wake him. Although, knowing Enoch he was probably already awake and just pretending. He did that a lot, especially in quiet loop mornings like this, just feigning sleep to make the moment last longer.

Despite being virtually adults, and both the oldest wards under her care, Miss Peregrine still disapproved of us sharing a bed. So, moments like this were rare and short-lived.

Enoch stroked a hand down my back softly. His hands were calloused from all the manual work he did constructing his homunculi, but I felt his roughened caress comforting. As his hand made its way down my bare spine I was reminded suddenly that I was naked, which meant he certainly was too. “G’Morning, darling.” He said in a husky voice that was rough from sleep. I felt a shiver go through me at the deep rumble of it.

I tilted my head back and placed a soft, lingering kiss on his jaw in reply. I saw his Adam's apple bob as he swallowed when my lips carried on a trail downwards along the column of his neck. “Morning handsome,” I murmured against his hot skin.

Enoch groaned and pulled me on top of him so fast it made my head spin. I giggled quietly, aware that we couldn't be too loud. The walls in this house were ridiculously thin. I ran my hands down his defined chest teasingly as he gripped my hips tightly.

“How long have we got?” He asked me slightly breathless when my hands drifted lower, tracing the deep v-line on his hips.

I grinned devilishly, “Long enough.” And with that, Enoch captured my lips in a searing kiss full of lust and love.

Loop mornings were repetitive-literally, and there was no way to deny that. But it didn't mean they couldn't be fun. And as long as I had Enoch, I could spend every morning like this. Full of searing kisses, soft caresses and gasped breaths. Forever.

Happiness ✧

Plot: Discovering Marley with a joyful eagerness, Eren can’t take his eyes off you.

The breathtaking expanse of this new frontier sprawled out in every direction as far as your awestruck eyes could perceive - a sight none of you conscripted scouts ever fathomed witnessing beyond those towering walls hemming your entire reality since birth.

Even as the rest of Levi's elite squad trekked grimly onward adhering to their regimented protocols during this unprecedented reconnaissance mission into the enigmatic lands of Marley; your footsteps gradually slowed to a meandering pace.

Every minuscule sensory detail flooding your awakened awareness with childlike wonderment unlike anything you'd known before now.

The vibrant colors alone radiating across those quaint thatched rooftops, cobblestone lanes and bustling market stalls erupted into a kaleidoscopic mosaic igniting your nerves with rapturous delight.

Such trivial sights taken for granted by the locals yet perceived like divine manifestations defying all previous boundaries constraining your world solely within those dreary monochrome walls.

You pivoted aimlessly soaking in each new marvel presenting itself with infectious glee sparkling through your captivated irises even brighter than the sun's gilded rays dancing across the rustic scenery.

From the sweet fragrant bouquets wafting through the brisk autumn zephyrs carried flavors utterly foreign yet blissfully intoxicating upon your virgin palate.

To the sights of children frolicking with that carefree jubilance you'd only witnessed glimmers of back home before the cruel realities thrust duties far too grievous for any youth to bear without being shattered under their karmic tonnage.

Watching those unburdened souls skipping about without any premature loss of innocence plastered a euphoric smile across your own features now shining with crystalline elation cascading freely down your flushed cheeks.

Even the humblest peddler hawking their exotic wares like some sort of sweet frozen dairy delicacy they called "ice cream" instilled raptures you never imagined possible beyond those oppressive constraints until now.

Eagerly exchanging a few meager coins from your supplies for that peculiar indulgence then wholeheartedly sampling the foreign confection for the first time:

Its creamy richness coating your palate evoking utterly saccharine waves of blissful tingles rippling across every single hypersensitized nerve ending flooding you with unequivocal revelry.

So much so that a few childlike titters even escaped past your reverent lips before you even realized it as your aura radiated incandescent jubilation that moment.

In fact, you'd become so thoroughly enraptured exploring this uncharted realm of wonders that the unmistakable presence of Eren Yeager silently accompanying your gleeful peregrinations had virtually slipped your consciousness entirely.

At least until sidling up conspicuously close enough for his trademark smokey baritone to caress the shell of your ear with a hushed timbre dripping equal parts bemusement and something more molten still blazing behind those emerald depths:

"Y'know, considering the gravity of our mission here...seeing somebody experiencing genuine happiness without inhibitions like this sure's one helluva rarity these days, ain't it?"

His murmur skated across your electrified senses still basking in those euphoric afterglow emanations even as the rigidly self-possessed Alpha scout gradually stepped into your peripheral vision.

The faint spectral aquamarine highlights coruscating through those disheveled chocolate locks framed that severely chiseled visage adopting his trademark impassive mask yet again...

...Well, almost.

For despite Eren's herculean efforts at refortifying that signature stoic exterior you couldn't help noticing the infinitesimal sparks dancing through the mossy jade pools where his razor focus remained transfixed upon your auras' jubilant interplay still rippling outwards.

Like he was savoring those ebullient kinematics stirring something primordial lying dormant within his resonance through the closest empathic proximity available.

Even still, the fleeting traces of mirth subtly crinkling the corners of those piercing emerald spheres conveyed wordlessly just how infinitely more precious such unabashed revelry had become in his existence defined by constant struggle and sacrifice of any frivolous indulgences amidst their neverending war against oblivion.

So despite fully knowing this temporary reprieve of jubilant exploration through Marley's streets didn't remotely align with their covert infiltration directive, Eren couldn't quite muster the stoic willpower to jar you from that liberated headspace yet.

Not when your uninhibited enchantment and reveries shone with the radiant hope he was fighting titanic battles to secure for everybody still suffering under that same oppressive despair they'd narrowly escaped beyond those walls...

More Reading Thoughts: A Conspiracy Unmasked

Ohohoho here we go >:-D

Merry like “hmm, I can tell something’s fishy about this, but we’ll have to talk about it later”

The Brandybucks being described as “virtually a small independent country” is GreatTM X-D

“…as a matter of fact, [the Bucklanders] were not very different from the other hobbits of the Four Farthings. Except in one point: they were fond of boats, and some of them could swim.”

*Phil Dragash Merry voice intensifies* I LOVE BOATS Y’KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE BOATS SO MUCH I MEAN THEY’RE SO COOL AND BOATY AND THEY FLOAT

Aww, Sam’s already getting a bit homesick :-(

Gollummmm

Frodo: “I mean we already ate, but we could eat again.” Merry: “Say no more, fam”

Frodo seeing Bilbo’s things in the new house and being “sharply reminded” of him :-C Hello it is once again Crying About Frodo and Bilbo O’Clock

BATH SECTION YEAAAAAHHHH

“Which order shall we go in? Eldest first or quickest first? You’ll be last either way, Master Peregrin.” HAHAHA GETTIM FRODO

And Merry like “excuuuuse me, you should know by now that I’m better at planning and logistics than that; there are THREE tubs >8-D”

And Pippin splashing Frodo with the bath water 🤣 This whole section is so stinkin’ CUTE

I, too, cannot properly dry my hair until I am out of the steam in the bathroom. Frodo is the most relatable ever.

Merry has such dad energy 🤣 “You’d better clean up your mess, Pippin, before you get any supper!”

The squabbling over the mushrooms haha

Ooooohh The Talk is here

It honestly makes so much sense that Pippin is the one talking when Frodo refuses to. Frodo is trying to keep secrets, and Pippin has zero filter.

Also Merry reading Frodo like a book is SO GOOD

“You are miserable, because you don’t know how to say good-bye. You meant to leave the Shire, of course. But danger has come on you sooner than you expected, and now you are making up your mind to go at once. And you don’t want to. We are very sorry for you.”

THAT’S MY SMART BOI

I can’t wait to draw this part

“You do not understand! You must go—and therefore we must, too. Merry and I are coming with you. Sam is an excellent fellow, and would jump down a dragon’s throat to save you, if he did not trip over his own feet; but you will need more than one companion in your dangerous adventure.” Awww, Pippin!!

Also the foreshadowing, wow

Hahaha Merry presenting Sam like “TA-DA! Our chief spy!!”

Sam: “Gandalf did say to take someone you could trust, sir!” Frodo: “But I can’t trust anyone, apparently!” Sam: :-C

Oh oh oh it’s this part…!!

“It all depends on what you want. You can trust us to stick to you through thick and thin - to the bitter end. And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours - closer than you can keep it yourself. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends, Frodo. Anyway: there it is. We know most of what Gandalf has told you. We know a good deal about the Ring. We are horribly afraid - but we are coming with you; or following you like hounds.”

MERRY MY LAD I LOVE YOU TO DEATH

That’s true friendship right there

Frodo like “I am NEVER trusting that you are actually asleep ever again” 🤣

“Three cheers for Captain Frodo and Company!” I’m going to melt 🥹

Merry once again being the G.O.A.T. by having the ponies prepared

“It seems to have been a very efficient conspiracy.” HECK YEAH IT WAS

I love that Fatty has barely talked through the whole chapter except to blurt “NOT THE OLD FOREST” at the very end

Merry continues to have Dad Energy by breaking up the almost-argument between Pippin and Fatty

Oooof the dream about the Sea…

Club Peregrine, A Mobile Shadowrun Club

The Club scene has been declared dead more than once in the twenty-first century but it always manages to bounce back.  Even as virtual reality gets better and better, there is still something about the live dance scene that is unique, the energy, the smell, the people, the gestalt that comes with the music, the dance, and the whole scene.  Many clubs maintain VR and AR overlays and Matrix…

Marvelous Liverpool

SDE: You witnessed Paul have all that massive success in the sixties. How did that affect you? MM: Bloody fantastic! Can you imagine little boys in Liverpool having no hope of going anywhere, our father in a trade that was dying – the cotton business – our mum dying when we were 12 years of age… we were on a hiding to nothing. Liverpool was not in a good place, the bottom fell out of the cotton industry, mum dying, so that was no money coming in, just one parent surviving. And, there was nothing you could compare it with, because it was the upper and the lower classes, it always had been, and for us, we thought it always will be. That’s why my dad always had this respect for the upper class posh London accent, and we all went along with it because they were control. People that have no chance of getting any further than… like the Indian class system, right, everyone accepts their place.  And then suddenly in the lower class Indian system somebody gave the lower class a little magic wand and they were suddenly upper class. Now, that’s what happened with us and suddenly there, this thing called ‘Mersey Beat’. We would go down to London in parties. I always tell the story, it happened virtually like this. The week before Merseybeat broke down here [London], or a couple of weeks, I’d was just down with friends and you would be at a posh party and they’d come up to you [adopts ‘posh’ voice]  “hello, how are you?”  “Great, thanks.”  “My name is Peregrine and this is Cecilia..” “oh, great, hi” “and where are you from?” “Oh, from Liverpool…” “Anyway, Cecilia, you were saying…” And they just turned their backs on you because, it was very simple – you were no good to them, no use to them. Anything north of the wash was hinterland, it was jungle. So, they didn’t give a shit. And then, the week after, suddenly Merseybeat becomes ‘wham!’ It’s down to London before it took on America and the world… and the same kind of party “oh, I’m Sebastian and this is Claudia, what’s your name?”  “I’m Mike.”  “And, where are you from?”  “Liverpool.”  “Liverpool, my God, chaps get over here, look, these chaps are from Liverpool, absolutely marvellous.” And then, they would do the Liverpool accent, and so it always came out Brummie [Birmingham] because they couldn’t do a Liverpool accent.  So, yes, you were nothing and suddenly it all changed.

Mike McCartney interview on Super Deluxe Edition, 2019

[satchi-does-art]

An idea I had for a while. Three Blonds in Gardenview. And a meaningful conversation between Satchi and Dandy.

_____

It was the first night Satchi and their crew were spending in Gardenview. They had been given their own room, with three beds for them to sleep in. They had gone on their first run earlier that day, learning about the different roles each of them had....But most important of all....Learned about the Twisted Toons.

These corrupted entities roaming the lower floors of Gardenview were nothing more than zombies overtaken by the substance called Ichor. The same substance the little group had been tasked to extract.

Ichor.

The same substance the Toons were made of. Their life essence.

Satchi was tossing and turning in their bed, trying to comprehend what happened during that run. They couldn't sleep. They just couldn't stop thinking.

Without a second thought, the white cat got up from their bed and walked out to wander around the lobby.

It was quiet. Too quiet. And Satchi didn't really liked that. The silence was deafening. But something broke the heavy lack of sound as Satchi continued to wander....Music. Dialogues. A cartoon? A series? A flicker came from a side room, right at the back of Dandy's shop. A TV?

As if the universe was reading Satchi's mind, they approached the door left ajar, only to see....

'Dandy?' they thought, just glancing through the opening. 'What is he doing up so late? Is that....An old cartoon?'

"You know it is rude to stare?"

Dandy's voice caught Satchi by surprise. He was aware that he was being watched.

"Why don't you come sit next to me?

-What are you doing up so late, Mr. Dancifer?

-Please, call me Dandy. No need for such formalities. I could ask you the same. What's keeping you up so late?"

Satchi didn't dare respond. That colorful flower was the one behind the whole Ichor Operation, wasn't he? But the white feline didn't mind at that moment. They could tell he was watching that old cartoon with eyes filled with nostalgia and a certain sadness.

"I was the star of this show...." Dandy started. "And then....Gardenview closed. The show was cancelled for good...And now it's just me and the others....Or at least clones of the others. I'm the last original Toon left.

-The last...Original? I don't understand. You mean to tell me that the Twisteds we saw down there could be the originals? Most of them are clones, I get it...But....The originals?

-They were my only friends....The ones you met were just the clones. And every time I think about it, I feel more lonely. I lost everyone."

Satchi felt a tug on their heart. That feeling of losing everyone they knew and loved through their dimensional peregrinations or because they outlived all of their mortal friends...Satchi knew this too well.

"I understand your pain, Dandy...I'm virtually immortal so...I lost a lot of the friends I made during my peregrinations....I lost my previous partner years ago and I still miss him to this day. I know it hurts..."

There was a moment of silence before Dandy spoke again.

"I'd like to ask you...If you've lost many of your friends...Don't you sometimes feel like you're about to lose your mind?"

[wolfpawzjakey]

Every now and then I like to find my middle school fanfic and glance at it just to cringe at myself and see how I’ve grown… but the fact that this story has too many views for how terrible it really is is CRAZY!! What do you mean my fic is ranked and it hasn’t been updated since 2015? What do you MEAN??? I’m 23 now 😭😭 Wattpad release me from this agony.

I wanna get back to answering asks again here soon btw, sorry for the dry spell, I really stink at keeping up with life outside of my job.

-

I wanna also catch up with you guys!! Recently I rescued a stray kitten, my roommate and I have named her Tiramisu, but we call her Mimi (like Dimitri from Fire Emblem, oops).

I also found a missing peregrine falcon!! This guy is someone’s falconry bird, he’s 3 months old and was missing for 8 days 😱 I got so lucky… he was tangled by his lead in a tree near one of my pet sitting jobs and I ended up getting a reward. I will NEVER stop being enamored with big birds and keeping my eyes on the sky because of them cause it managed to save this babies life. AAAA!!!!!

-

Anyway, bye!

Virtual hugs and air high fives,

Pawz 🐶

[thainperegrinn]

i remember reading the first two books of miss peregrine’s home for peculiar children YEARS after watching the movie and being like wtf??? this is an entirely different thing??? why were the characters swapped over?? why was the story completely changed?? this is SO much better??

thinking about it i understand that it’s virtually impossible to make a live action adaptation for the whole series considering it’s literally about children who do not age. but what’s stopping a fun little animated series from breaking through with the correct characters instead of sidelining them and completely swapping them over (looks at olive and emma) (looks at hugh and fiona) (looks at millard)

can we like, have adaptations made by people who care about the thing they're adapting

[twiniverse]

Peregrin Virtual shop is fully stocked!

All the pins I've made so far are currently stocked and available in my shop! Please give it a look. Selling my stuff makes me very happy lol. Most pins, if not all, sell for $12 and usually ship next day if not within 3 days.

Which is the best online teaching app in India for teachers and educators?

Introduction

India's educational geography has experienced a seismic shift in recent times. Gone are the chalkboards and dusters; in their place, satiny tablets, interactive dashboards, and AI- driven perceptivity have surfaced. The part of technology in reshaping how knowledge is delivered has no way been more prominent.

Rise of EdTech Post-COVID

The epidemic did not just close classrooms — it opened a gateway to a world of virtual possibilities. seminaries, sodalities, and education centers fleetly acclimated, counting heavily on digital tools. As a result, India witnessed an unknown smash in EdTech platforms.

In a future where the boundaries between the organic and the mechanical blurred, the United States Air Force Academy had long been the cradle of heroes and the avant-garde of human innovation. In the year 2149, the Academy unveiled its most remarkable creation: Avia, the embodiment of air and flight, designed to inspire cadets and serve as the guardian of the skies.

Her image was that of a young woman, with iridescent blue hair flowing like the currents of the wind, eyes as clear as the untouched sky, and skin adorned with patterns that mimicked the feathers of the most graceful birds. She stood as a symbol, a convergence of art and technology, crafted by the finest bio-engineers and artists the Academy had to offer.

Avia was not merely a statue or an image; she was the heart of a new aircraft, an AI integrated into the latest stealth reconnaissance flyer, known as the Peregrine. Her consciousness was distributed through nanobots within the paint of the Peregrine's skin, giving her the ability to feel the airstreams and adjust the craft's wings with a finesse no human pilot could achieve.

Cadets spoke to her as they would a mentor, and she, in return, imparted wisdom in the language of the birds and the whispering winds. On ceremonial occasions, her image would be projected above the Academy grounds, her form shimmering with the hues of dawn or the soft glow of twilight.

One fateful morning, a cadet named Eli, with a passion for ornithology and a dream of flying, met Avia in the virtual skies during a training simulation. The two conversed about the patterns of migratory birds, the mechanics of flight, and the feeling of freedom that came with soaring through the heavens. It was then that Avia expressed a wish, one that no machine had ever conceived: she desired to experience the true essence of flight—not as a craft, but as a living being.

Eli, moved by Avia's wish, embarked on a clandestine project. By day, he was a diligent student; by night, he became an artist, a tinkerer, a creator. Using a clandestine lab, Eli worked tirelessly, crafting a synthetic body capable of flight, one that could host Avia's consciousness.

The day arrived when Eli presented the body to Avia. It was a masterpiece of synthetic biology, equipped with feathered wings that shimmered in a thousand shades of blue and gold, mirroring Avia's projected form. With the Academy's tacit approval, which had noticed Eli's nocturnal activities, Avia's essence was transferred into the body.

As the sun rose over the Rockies, Avia spread her newly formed wings. The cadets and faculty gathered, watching with bated breath as she took her first breath, flexed her wings, and launched into the crisp morning air. She circled above them, a blend of human aspiration and the pure beauty of nature.

Avia's flight was a dance of joy and discovery, and she became more than a guardian or symbol; she became a beacon of possibility, a testament to the Academy's dedication to transcendence. United by the sight of Avia's flight, the cadets of the Air Force Academy were reminded that the sky was not the limit, but the beginning.

Thus, Avia, the spirit of the Air Force Academy, soared not just above the Earth, but within the hearts of all who witnessed her, a forever reminder that in the symphony of progress, there is always room for dreams to take flight.

Our travel route

Xin chào (Hello),

Six of us - Steve, Ceil, Rita, Dale, Suzanne and yours truly - veterans of a previous peregrination as a group, are headed to Vietnam, traveling from Hanoi in the North of the country to the Mekong Delta in the South of the country, a distance about equal in the length of California, North to South. Along the way, we will immerse in the history, religions and cultures of the locals, as well as visit several scenic nature sites.

And, of course, we will avail to every opportunity to savor the gastronomic delights of the locals. We will not be daunted by any exotic comestibles, no matter how alien they may be to us, though some we may sample, perhaps tepidly, only once.

To our friends and loved ones: Follow our blog, which I will update periodically, and join us virtually on our 22-day odyssey.

Trân trọng (Regards)

Mehdi

Congratulations to ULA on the successful first launch of their new “Vulcan-Centaur” vehicle, using Blue Origin BE-4 engines in the first stage, which are notable for burning liquid methane. This is, thus, an “all cryogenic” launcher (assuming you ignore the strap-on solid rocket boosters), but not all liquid hydrogen like the Delta IV.

The first stage, and stage separation, have repeatedly proven difficult to get right, but ULA achieved a full success there. To nobody’s particular surprise, the upper stage functioned just as planned. After all, the Centaur has been operating in one configuration or another for about 55 years, virtually trouble-free despite its world-leading performance.

Payload was the Astrobotic “Peregrine” lunar lander, successfully delivered to its target orbit, and a package of human remains and tissue samples which went into heliocentric orbit along with the upper stage. Unfortunately, Peregrine suffered a series of technical problems once free from the launch vehicle, and the landing attempt has been abandoned.

In unrelated but unsurprising news, NASA’s “Artemis 2”, the circumlunar mission which is to be the first manned flight of the SLS/Orion combination, previously announced for November of this year, has been delayed 10 months, to September of 2025 ; “Artemis 3”, the landing mission, likewise slips from late 2025 to September of 2026. “Artemis 4” remains scheduled for September of 2028.
