[Image description: A digital drawing of Iris Campbell from the film Final Destination Bloodlines. It depicts her on the night of the Skyview premonition, wearing her blue dress with white accessories. One of her hands in being pulled to the left out of frame, her body being tugged along with it. Her other arm hangs limply. Below the engagement ring, her ring finger is coloured a bright red, which drips off of it into a curved line. This line travels to the right and splits off into eight different lines of varying sizes, each one with an arrow tip. One of these arrows travels behind her head, and spirals as it travels. These tips all point towards a penny falling downwards. Iris is turning her head and gaze towards it. Her eyebrows bunch up and her mouth falls open slightly as sweat drips down her face. The background is a bold, warm yellow, which contrasts greatly against the blue of her dress and the red of the arrows.]

Yapping below the cut

In the context of my fem!Phoenix AU, Phoenix has a bit of a breakdown when she gets disbarred and uses her ancestral sword to cut her braid off as a parallel to canon phoenix covering his iconic spikes. Thankfully the sword has probably been used in that way already, I mean, look at Kazuma's hair.

Closeup feat. Mia inspired bangs and my eternal love of her lip scars. Anyway she deserves to have her unhinged unlawful Kazuma moment where she goes behind everyone’s back to solve her big mystery and maybe threaten to kill someone. At some point all that emotional control has to break and literal weeks after some of the worst trauma of her life on top of losing the job she worked so hard for over something that would be minor if she was a prosecutor seems like a reasonable time for it to boil over. The first few months of 2019 were rough on her…

"The killing, um the death, of a Palestinian man..."

A BBC correspondent goes to great lengths to avoid reporting that Israel killed 78 y/o US citizen Omar As'ad.

Laptop sticker status! It's fun to save pictures of what's on it every so often, so i can look back over the years. Haven't changed any out in a while, but just received new ones from @megomobile and @pennamepersona 's etsys

What do you and Hector like to do for fun? Any activities you enjoy to do either together, alone, or with other people? :-)

HAPPY: “I am an artist.”

(HECTOR, offscreen: “And I’m SO proud of him!”)

HAPPY: “(Thank you, Hector.) He prefers to read. Sometimes we will take walks together, or maybe cook, if we have the time. Hector is a very good teacher.”

Happy does spend most of his days with Hector, whether for work or just to invite him to cook or walk or draw, but outside of that he enjoys looking through stores and window shopping. He also visits Patty very often- the two of them like to wander around Hobbyhoo, since Happy doesn’t have much reason to visit the city outside of delivering mail. 

Hector, meanwhile, doesn’t get out much. Not unless Happy or King makes him. He’s (allegedly) content to stay cooped up at home with a long book, but he will admit that he enjoys looking through museums of any kind. Happy’s also sold him on board games, and he likes to go stargazing with King.

I want control 2 to have even more documents and more reading

Perry Mason and Lt. Tragg take a cigarette break together to discuss the case. I love how dark the early seasons of this show were. Great contrast!!

Have determined Enoch fights at zee by lighting himself on fire, charging at target, and then knocking them into the water to kill (because Enoch is a self made man-thing who gave himself the ability to breathe underwater and very sharp claws)

(second message attempt, not sure first posted) Exquisite taste in interiors! I have a hard to describe issue, but it’s driving me insane so here goes … in my living room I have a gorgeous wall of huge windows with a beautiful view of greenery. However. The wall opposite is a big boring blank white wall. I can’t add shelves or furniture because my dining table is placed pretty close to the wall, but also abhor gallery walls … how can I make it as beautiful and interesting as the wonderful windows?

Ooooh love this!

My first instinct: giant framed wallpaper scene. You can do the whole wall (looks great) but I also really like when you make a border for it out of moulding so that it looks more like a giant piece of art, like this one. If you're renting, you can even do peel and stick.

Other ideas:

Wall of mirrors, either trimmed out or just the whole wall or bunches of rectangles, normal or antiqued (can you tell I'm really into mirrors right now, ever since I saw this article in WoI. Okay one more, how sick is this with the lighting and the picture rail, I'm obsessed with Adam Bray.)

Just trimmed out, either classic style or something more mod.

Okay this is kinda rogue, but what about a whole wall of pleated curtains? Adds a lot of texture, can visually warm up rooms where there's a lot of glass, easy to swap out for different looks for different seasons, v dramatic.

I know you don't like gallery walls, but what about like, two (or three, dimension depending) really big pieces of art? (Note, vintage stores are great for finding these kinds of things)

Perhaps a tapestry / fabric piece? Or if you want just texture, how cool would an antique lace runner look framed? (maybe consider building the frame yourself to keep costs reasonable)

Okay I know you said no shelves but what about like, very narrow shelves? Like, slightly wider than a glass shelves? Like the top of this built in bar width shelves. For styling, I would go thrifting and grab as much crystal and little silver bits as you can find and put it up there, possibly with some cool lighting underneath?

Hope something there gives you an idea! Keep me updated on what you decide to do, and let me know if you have any further thoughts!

Dear Mr. President:

Always there have been men who had contempt for the "word" although words have survived better than any other man-made things. St. John says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God." When you have finished using a weapon, someone is dead or injured, but the product of the word can be life and hope and survival. All of the greatness of our species rests on words -- Socrates to his judges -- the Sermon on the Mount, the introduction to Wyclif's Bible, later taken by Lincoln for the Gettysburg Address. And all of these great and irretrievable words have the bravery of fear and hope in them. There must have been a fierce but hollow feeling in the members of the Continental Congress when the clerk first read the words, "When in the course of human events --." Lincoln must have dwelt with loneliness when he wrote the order of mobilization.

In our history, there have been not more than five or six moments when the word and the determination mapped the course of the future. Such a moment was your speech, Sir, to the Congress two nights ago. Our people will be living by phrases from that speech when all the concrete and steel have long been displaced or destroyed. It was a time of no turning back, and in my mind as well as in many others, you have placed your name among the great ones of history.

And I take great pride in the fact that you are my President.

Yours in admiration, John Steinbeck

-- Letter from John Steinbeck to President Lyndon B. Johnson on March 17, 1965, two days after LBJ's monumental "We Shall Overcome" speech to a Joint Session of Congress urging the passage of the Voting Rights Act in the wake of "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, Alabama

So, like. When your iron deficiency or anaemia decides to make the world this hellishly spinning, nauseating, disorientating landscape for days and prompts the small litany of increasingly uncertain teachers that make you think, yes, I am The Terrible Student Warned About in classroom fables and ish, wtf do you do to mitigate some of the weee factor?

[Humming a tune under her breath, a certain ex-bizzyboy arrives at the front door of Happy’s home, carrying a tray of freshly home baked goods.]

[Opening the door, she stops in the doorway and knocks on the wall beside her, calling out to the individual that lives inside.]

“Oh Tinkerbellll, you home? I’ve got sum brownies here for ya! And not da herbal kind, I promise”

Well, Happy wasn’t expecting a visitor today- he was taking this weekend to clean the house, but he can’t say he minds food from friends. He gladly lets Raiyn inside and leads her to his table (only two chairs, he doesn’t get visitors often other than his sister) so that he can get them both a plate and they can share.
