The Duchess of York with Princess Elizabeth and a canine friend at Glamis Castle.
I've read that the Duke took this photo and it was in 1930 when Elizabeth was pregnant with Princess Margaret. Hence the strategic placement of the dog and the wall!
Good job, Bertie. It's a sweet photo!

blah blah blah aging tumblr population etc etc if you are ever visiting a family that just had a baby, and you know that they have other small children, bring a little something for each of the other kids. it doesn’t have to be anything fancy but, even the most charitable, well-behaved child starts feeling left out and lonely after the nth visitor brings gifts and attention for their parents and new sibling and, either isn’t there for them at all or the only engage with them about their baby sibling, especially since their parents have probably been completely consumed with the new baby. make their day and they will remember that bit of kindness and attention from you forever.

There's the ghost of a child playing above Bludhaven
He's a short little thing, who glows and waves around a little sword. Sometimes he has a ship, sometimes he doesn't.
The kid keeps saying that it only fits that Bludhaven be his haunt, because it has "blud" in it and his name is "Youngblood".
Also he has declared Nightwing to be his nemesis.
Nightwing loves it; he gets to have at least one day a week that's just goofing off with a kid who can't be hurt by any of his regular villains. Their "fights" are more like play dates, if he's being honest, and Youngblood is a good kid.
Sometimes he's swinging from the sails of the kids ghost ship, dodging "ecto blasts", other times he's "teaming up" with Youngblood and "sword fights" another spectral Hero, called Phantom.
Generally, they all have a good time.
Until one day, he stumbles across some men in white suits actually managing to hurt the ghost child.
That day, the GIW learns that the most violent Robin wasn't the second one, but the first.
