Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes those unexpected events can hit close to home, like a burst pipe, a windstorm, or even a runaway soccer ball. We know the importance of protecting what matters most, and that’s where insurance services in Annville, Pennsylvania from AGOT Insurance Agency LLC come in.

so a Yellowjackets AU where mari says something to get herself kicked out of the cabin, and she dies of exposure and gets eaten at the bachanalian banquet instead of Jackie, who LIVES, who's there at Shauna's side when she goes into labor, stroking her hair and letting Shauna squeeze her hand hard enough to sprain her fingers, who keeps Shauna calm enough she has a (comparatively!!!!!!) easier delivery, who is the reason the(ir) baby lives.
who finally, after months of feeling adrift and useless because she’s not a hunter or a butcher or a prophet or a captain (anymore) finds her purpose in the wilderness. who painstaking sews patchwork baby onesies and cloth diapers from the girls' spare clothes (Offerings, not donations). who makes a baby sling from animal pelts and backpack straps. who makes a rattle from sticks and pinecones and some light blue pebbles Jackie found by the lake one day and saved. who makes sure the cabin stays warm and clean for Luke Dylan (from 90210--they couldn't decide whether to go with the actor or the character).
who builds them another shelter from blankets and animal hides after the cabin burns down. who keeps shauna and their baby warm through that first terrible winter and the one that followed.
and one day in 1998, Canadian forest rangers happen upon that American high school soccer team that went missing 2 years back. they find a group of starving teens and a baby, a little over a year old, two of the girls wrapped around him--and each other
and when the rescue team tries to separate them the one with tangled, golden brown hair bears her teeth and Growls

Yes hi! First of all, I look forward to seeing your art whenever you post, it's always enjoyable, from the colors to the subject matter, five stars.
Secondly, yes to giant merpeople👍 Never enough. And with that, I have a question. Do you think, in a situation like yours (underwater research base, etc) the giant merfolk would curiously tap on the glass and watch the humans, like we do with fish tanks?
JAZKDKKDDKDK THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 😭😭🫶
It's so funny you ask that because I'm currently working on another illustration that has a big ol sign that says "Do NOT tap the glass, you'll startle the researchers." this is apart of my fantasy/sci-fi world so congrats - there's LORE.
For the most part, alot of the locals leave the base alone. There are a couple researchers who ARE some flavor of merm/are local. Since this base is so far down, it's not always safe for non-merm folks, so the merm/other aquatic based team members mainly handle field work.
However you still get some locals who will stop by to maybe talk to people, see what's going on, be nosy. There is a lot of explanation on how they work, but basically they be smaller for small periods of time and are kinda somewhat amphibous? Story for another time. The non-merms practically live on base so they have separate work and living quarters while they're "On duty." Like Antarctica scientists except under the water and your neighbors are fish people. Who can visit.
This particular Pod enjoys bothering the head researcher because he's basically a family friend and like an uncle. They also like seeing what new PhD student got sadled with their grumpy uncle and like when it's women because women are cute

What I really don't understand about housing is that it's treated like a business and not something humans need to live. It's inhumane.
The US constitution says we have the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. You know what's required for those things? A place to live. Homelessness in itself is unconstitutional. And don't we all agree that everyone deserves a place to sleep? Don't we all agree that we don't want people on the streets?
Banks and landlords should not decide whether or not someone has a place to live.
Let's think about it this way.
This is the reality for a lot of people.
You owe money to your past landlord? Even if they lied about the circumstances? Sorry, no one can rent to you now because that money is more important than your & your kids' safety and going homeless. They "can't help it", they need their "business" to prosper, not you. They're not gonna get their money paid back any faster – in fact, now you have MORE expenses & it'll be a slower process.
Maybe the company that owns the place is worth millions and they won't be hurting at all without the money. Doesn't matter. You're going to be punished since you couldn't help make them richer. Their lives matter more than yours, sorry.
Now you're either couch hopping, living out of your car, or out on the streets. You have to find a way to pay back your landlord instead of saving up for another place. Now let's say you're on disability like I am, or in between jobs. You're having trouble getting someone to hire you or getting on any assistance because you no longer have a mailing address. You only have a few hundred bucks per MONTH to survive off of.
Maybe your landlord agrees to do a payment plan, but now you have to choose between having food & your other bills paid for or paying them a minimum $150-$200 a month, that they want delivered to them in person every time. Now you assume someone will rent to you because you have proof that you're paying it off, but you're losing money on application fees because they still won't work with you. You have to somehow come up with the money for the applications, a down payment, and first month's rent while also paying back your previous landlord in the off chance that someone MIGHT rent to you after you've already blown $300 on application fees.
Your landlord made the decision to make you homeless.
"Well they have to add that stuff to their rental record!" that record is only kept to work with other landlords to make sure that no one can have a place to live unless they're profitable. They're contributing to that system.
"But landlords need a way to make money too!" Here's a tip: find a real job. Owning something and receiving passive income from it is not a job. Your tenants are busting their asses at their real jobs just for you to take 1/3 of their income so you can live comfortably knowing that other people's labor is paying your bills.
EVERY HUMAN DESERVES THE RIGHT TO A PLACE TO LIVE.
Landlords are a class of people that should NOT EXIST. There is no reason we need a person that stands between us and owning a house – just to tell us what we can and can't do in the place we're paying for.
"But I can't afford a mortgage and need to rent!"
You're already paying off your landlord's mortgage and MORE. The housing market is the way it is because landlords drove the prices up. And this is where it's the bank's fault as well. You can't save up for a down payment because you're paying off someone else's mortgage; you can't get approved for a home loan because with the price of housing you have to be able to qualify for a larger amount than before, or maybe you happened to have one or two unexpected life events that lowered your credit score. The banks decide that their profit is more important than human lives, too.
The vast majority of us are only a couple of missed paychecks away from homelessness.
We can't keep complaining about homelessness while ignoring the root cause of the issue.
