#which is why they are Filipino but Dave isn’t

[fostopia]

hi resident dave fan here. can i hear about dave and sarah 👁👁

THIS IS SO LONG IM SO SORRY

Hello there dear resident Dave fan, here’s your silly content of our favorite uncle and this time— his niece.

Starting off with them as a duo!

Dave met Sarah a few years before Mark’s death when she was two (1991). He was utterly clueless about her even existing due to having gone low contact with the Heathcliff adults [who are not great parents here] after Mark had been shipped off to another side of Mandela by them to live with extended family [due to their inability to provide him the help he needed with his PTSD] before he later emancipating himself (he was 16, going off of Google for some emancipation shtuff). He only learns about her through him and man, was he excited about another child in the family.

Dave was also not told about Sarah due to the Heathcliff wanting to avoid him ‘corrupting’ her as he ‘had with Mark’ religious transphobia yk yk

The two bonded immediately, but after Mark’s passing that relationship grows stronger. They both missed him, and having one another to share that grief helped them both. Sarah needed a parental figure to provide support to her and Dave took that role with open arms.

Sarah ends up in Dave’s care when she turns 14 due to an issue with her parents [she would’ve tried to emancipate herself, but Dave stepped forward and offered a place to call home] and he raises her from there on teaching her how to care for herself for when she moves out as well. He meets Jonah and Adam during this time too. She moves out at 18 but stays in Bythorne, and often visits him in her free time. He taught her most of what she knows and although they’ve never viewed their connection as a father/daughter one, Sarah gives Dave more credit as her father than her bio one.

NOW

On their own, Dave’s story aligns with his canon one, however instead of ending up going to see "O’Brien" for the church job offer, he ends up sticking with his own work. Much to Gabriel’s dismay but, what can ya do? He’s semi-active in Sarah’s life but tries to avoid most public interaction due to the whole deal with BPS— both to avoid her and the other two being arrested and himself due to affiliation. Dave does not have contact with his sister and her husband anymore, refusing to acknowledge them as family after all their insensitivity and Asshole behavior. He blames them for Mark’s death, they don’t seem to care that he does either.

Real quick character information as I had done in my first post.

[Dave- he/him - ASD - American ; Dave is 49 in this au but looks mid 30’s at most, takes decent care of himself.]

-

Sarah’s information is on the first post ab Tethered but for here-

Sarah’s freshly four when Mark and Cesar die, and so she doesn’t remember much of it at the time but as she grows the memories get clearer and man, does she mourn hard; Dave provides many stories about Mark that make her all but wish he were back so she could experience him as a proper older brother. She moves in with Dave at 13 and creates BPS when she’s a freshman, and it started as a school club; she meets Jonah and Adam while she’s a sophomore and the two join BPS. She graduates at 17 [early graduation due to summer courses and other things; unlike the other two who drop out] and her focus turns to primarily BPS as things get a lot more heated and— well, illegal. She doesn’t need to get a proper job as her biological parents end up paying for her house and most commodities she needs; trying to buy her love [she acts like it’s working, in reality could give a rats ass about them]

She manages to keep herself off the FBI and police radar due to not doing the physical work herself— sticking to the online work although she had been involved in the theft of the GPS and other banned items. The two boys constantly use her house as a safe haven when they get the chance, and Sarah keeps an eye on the police to give them warnings on when they need to be on the move. She views them both as [annoying] younger brothers, commonly mirroring Jonah’s energy while simultaneously being just as fiery and irritable as Adam. When she first meets Cesar and Mark against she flips her shit over two genuine ghosts before realizing who they were and promptly crying. She missed them okay?

Oh, dumb fun fact, Sarah took in Mark’s old cat, Soup, when he passed. Soup’s and old, fat orange tabby that wobbles around and likes everybody but Adam.

Janna Ordonia and Tom Lucitor as Boscha’s Biological Parents

I know I am not the first to say this, but if its any consolation I came up with it on my own and only discovered it had been done before afterwards. Before season 2 of the Owl House comes out I would like to put my two cents into this theory. The main parties involved in this theory are Dave Lucitor (a caucaian, brown haired, blue eyed mewman, with round ears which because of his mewman heritage has potential for dormant magical powers), Wrathmelior Lucitor (a huge red skinned demon with three vertically slanted and slit yellow eyes with no pupils, dark pink hair, long pointed ears, and giant horns on her head, and demonic powers such as super strength and weather manipulation.{We know demonic powers are separate from magic because when all the magic left stars universe Globgor still had his size manipulation so demonic powers and magic are different}), Thomas Draconius "Tom" Lucitor (light purple skin, light pinkish-purple hair, three pinkish red eyes with more human characteristics, smaller horns then his mom, pointed teeth, and pointed ears although less demonic then his mom, and a lot of demonic powers such as pyrokinesis, telekinesis, levitation, Curse infliction, and Geokinesis), Janna Ordonia (a Filipino human with brown eyes, dark blue {most likely black dyed blue}, round ears, and no magical abilities), and finally Boscha ( A supposed witch with light pink skin, dark purplish pink hair, and three human like eyes that are a greyish blue, rounder teeth, and round but pointed ears.)

Before I continue I would like to clarify that in my theory Luz and gravity falls earth is a different earth than Marco’s earth, they exist in the same universe, but are two separate realities. So my theory is that at some point after Star and Marco and all the other dimensions collide Tom and Janna fall in love, I can see this happening very easily from the canon we have, and the combination of there genetics lead to Boscha (who so far has no canon last name) I can easily see her skin being a combination of Tom and Janna’s, her ears would be from her 1/4 demon status, her three ears would be from her father but are more human in appearance then Tom’s because of Janna, her hair is from her father and grandmother, and her blue eyes from her grandfather. Her magic could source from two stems or a combination of both, one it isn’t magic it is her demonic heritage from her father, or two just like Luz who has no magic she has studied runes and other magical objects and are using that, again t could also be both.

So why is she in the Demon realm and why is she so rude to non-witches when she isn’t one herself, my answer, she’s adopted. Some point after she is born, perhaps around two to three, she is somehow lost and somehow ends up through a dimensional rift or a portal and is found in the Boiling Isles 10 years prior to the series (as in time travel) by a high class female witch. Clearly not human and having near identical pointed ears to a witch the woman would assume Boscha is a witch, and would adopt her as her own, Boscha would only remembers her first name so that is what her mother would call her. Boscha would show her “magical” alibies early on making her mother very proud and would brag about it to the Blights. She would eventually notice that Boscha’s magic doesn’t quite work the same and would teach her runes and other things to compensate. She wouldn’t remember her family so she wouldn’t know her 3/4 human heritage and would learn her bigotry from her mother. Weather she ever learns the truth, we will have to wait and see. Her bio parents would probably search everywhere for there daughter but even if they could get to the demon realm and happened to bump into her they would be looking for a 3 year old, not 13 and might not recognize her.

Anyway thats my theory.

                              BLOG POST 3: WONDER 

MOVIE SUMMARY:

The Movie wonder is an American comedy-drama film in the year 2017 which is directed by Stephen Chbosky and written by Jack Thorne, Steven Conrad, and Chbosky. The movie is based on the 2012 novel of the same name by R. J. Palacio and stars Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Jacob Tremblay, Izabela Vidovic, Mandy Patinkin, and Daveed Diggs. "Wonder". That's what the mother of August "Auggie" Pullman portrayed by Jacob Tremblay, calls him. Auggie was born with a congenital disorder that caused severe facial disfigurement (among other health problems). 

 Movies about dramatic disfigurements often walk on a tightrope for being inaccurate or shrewd, Wonder was definitely none of those, and in exchange had empathy with wit and grace, and is an echo about the current climate of American bullying. 

 The movie even gave other characters a backstory to give a well- rounded view of different lives with different causes for the way they were and why they treated Auggie that sort of way, which to in my opinion gave the story so much more depth than just being about educating the community on medical issues, but also to remind everyone that there are more sides to a coin when it comes to human lives.

_____________________________________________________

                                        GUIDE QUESTIONS:

1. What life lessons can be learned from the movie?

True beauty is found within. No matter how people judge you by your looks, how you dress and how you act, these are not reasons for you to have low self- esteem. Thus, be proud of yourself, don't hide and just show the world how unique you are. It's never been okay to judge anyone without knowing their whole personality. Be brave and stand up for yourself and lastly no matter how rude they are, always choose to be kind because remember that you are what you are and will always be.

 2. What part of the story told by the movie was the most powerful? Why?

When Jack Will realized that he hurt and somehow betrayed Auggie by mocking his appearance and said that if he had August's face, he would kill himself in a Halloween party. Since it was his fault in the first place, together with her mother, they wrote an Apology letter to Mr. Tushaman addressing the issue between their friendship. This shows that even good people do bad mistakes. They mess up and do let others down but at the end of the day they are still people just like us. At least he knew that their friendship is important so he looked for a way to fix their fight.

3. Who was your favorite character in the movie? Why?

Jack Wall isn't actually my favorite but I like his personality because he is just like me. Sometimes I tend to say things that can badly hurt my friends but at the end of the day I try to fix our broken relationship and tell them how sorry I am as soon as possible.

4. Did anything that happened in the movie remind you of something that has occurred in your own life or that you have seen occur to others?

The scene where they bullied Auggie because of how he looked like reminded me of a common issue we are facing now which is JUDGEMENT. People now a day have their own standard of beauty. Most Filipinos are being judged because of being Moreno or Morena and having a nose which we call "Pango". We actually conducted a research last year regarding the Filipino's Golden Ratio and here we have seen that people really have different opinions but arrived in a same conclusion. No matter how you look like "BE CONFIDENT AND BE PROUD OF YOURSELF ".

 5. If you had a chance to ask a character in this movie a question, what would it be?

I would want to ask Auggie a simple question, “Are you happy? ".

----

Almost a year ago…

Charlene could remember it so well, the day she almost lost all the hope and joy she have in life; it is the day her father died.

Before entering her father’s room, Charlene had to wear a mask as per instruction of his doctor. When she got in, she saw her father is sleeping and coughing in between while lying on the bed. She went over to his side and quietly waited for him to stir.

“Papa, I’m here.” She whispered as she placed a hand on her father’s forehead.

The beat of his life support distracted Charlene for a while, but when Bo-Gyeong stirred, her smile appeared immediately.

“Gongjunim!“ He weakly responded but still with such delight, especially he was seeing his daughter smile down at him.

Bo-Gyeong was a paraplegic ever since he got into an accident from a stunt work for a Filipino action movie. Charlene was only 11 at that time but she was forced to earn money not for herself only but for her father also.

He moved with Charlene in Seoul when she was 13, and there he became a substitute instructor in a dojo despite his disability. Charlene on the other hand, learned to juggle school and her part time jobs. It was difficult for the father and daughter; but Charlene never gave up on him.

“Papa, I brought gimbap, with chicken adobo mixed in, of course.” Charlene brought out the lunch box covered in cloth, in front of her father.

Bo-Gyeong struggled to speak up after coughing out, “Did you ask your Uncle Barty that when he comes home to Manila; to send me one of those Emperador brandy.” He finally made a joke to his daughter.

“Pff, appa-- You’ll drink buckets of beer after you get out of the hospital.” She tried to encourage him. But then, his coughing fit came out again and this time it was longer than before.

His doctor, Dr. Eun, on the other hand, had already told her after two weeks of his admittance, that he was not hospitalized because of his paralyzed legs; it was because of his bacterial pneumonia. Unfortunately, it was beyond any cure and Charlene learned that he could die from it.

He doesn’t have enough time, Ms. Lee. Your father is dying.

Charlene tried to brush off the memory, instead, she opened the lunch box and the smell of fresh food made Bo-Gyeong smile.

“Ahh... You really inherited your Mama’s magical skill of cooking. I could see her just now, standing at our kitchen, smiling at me as I hug her from behind.” He muttered.

Suddenly, the erratic beat of the life support caught Charlene’s attention, but her father made her look at him as he spoke,

“Listen to me, gongjunim... I know I don’t have much time left-- I know it very well... But, when I’m gone, I want you to find someone you could share not only your heart with, but also your life...”

“Shh, papa, don’t talk so much-- I’ll get help.”

This time, Charlene saw that his heart rate was dropping. Her eyes widened as panic had started sinking in to her mind.

“No! No, no-- Papa, stay with me! I’m going to call the nurse!” She panicked as she pushed the emergency button.

“Saranghae, Cha-Cha...” His words sounded to her like there were blown away by the wind; his breath disappeared with the air.

The next thing she heard was the flat line of the life support.

Nurses and a doctor flooded in to the room and they surrounded Bo-Gyeong. A male nurse shoved her out of the bedside and into the doorway.

Charlene braced herself against the wall, and the door shut loudly in front of her; blocking Bo-Gyeong out of her sight.

She couldn’t fight the feeling, she had to go outside and run away from her father's room. But the tears kept falling from her eyes, her chest weighed down by the pain. Her feet started to take steps; it started to take her away from that room, to find solitude for herself.

Charlene ran up the stairs, until she found the door to the rooftop and outside. The blue skies blinded her, but her tears stung her eyes more than anything else.

With no one else at the rooftop, she fell down the concrete floor and embraced only her legs to hold herself from the pain.

Mama... If you meet Papa in heaven, please take care of each other...

She whispered those words as if her mother, long gone from this world; is an angel she is praying to.

That was one of the darkest days that Charlene had in her life. First, her mother was taken from her and her father; then now Bo-Gyeong is gone.

She was all alone now and her relatives are at the other side of the globe. There’s nobody else to turn to or to hold on to; just herself.

----

Five months after...

<<”I’m sorry, Cha. But I really can’t release your Papa’s last salary. It’s the only payment that we can get after all the loan he had taken to pay for his hospital bills.”>> The owner of the dojo, Kim Hae-Byeon, a balding middle-aged man, explained to her.

Charlene cleared her throat and thought out the words she can say.

<<”It’s not his salary that I’m after at, Mr. Kim; it’s his share here in the dojo. You know Papa also helped build this place.”>> Charlene reasoned with the man.

At that time, Charlene had nowhere else to go. Her contract with her last part-time job had ended and most of her earnings were paid for her student loans. Though the saddest part is that she may finish her senior year in High School but she will never be able to step in to college.

Her contacts in stunt works or talent scouts for bit players were no help for her. She had no other choice but to at least get her father’s share in the dojo.

Hae-Byeon shook his head and said, <<”Do you really need the money?”>>

This time, she looked down on her hands that are steepled on her lap, then she answered,

<<”I do. I need the money so I could go back to the Philippines. I’d go back to Tondo, my mother’s hometown.”>>

Then, just like a miracle from the heavens, Hae-Byeon pulled out his wallet, then asked her,

<<”How much do you need for a ticket to Manila?>>”

Charlene answered carefully, <<”At least ₩ 80,000. It’s a one way ticket to Manila..”>>

He then gave her the money and said, <<”Use it wisely, kid. I know that you are a good daughter and Bo-Gyeong was lucky enough to have you. Don’t waste your life, you’ve got plenty of time, anyways. How old are you again? 22?”>>

<<”Thank you so much, Mr. Kim. I just turned 23 last November, sir. Yes, you are right, I’m still young.”>> Charlene smiled and tucked the money in to her pocket.

<<”Ah, if you weren’t going back home to Manila, I would’ve married you to my son, Dae-Hwan-- oh, Charlene, I know you two will be a good couple.”>> Hae-Byeon pointed out at his son at the far corner of the dojo, a big man not just in height but also in size, wiping the corners of the window.

Charlene could only quietly snicker to herself, then she politely replied, <<”I don’t want to marry yet, sir. I still need to get my life upright.”>>

Charlene was not lying when she said those words. She needed to focus first on how to get her life right and find a suitable job for herself. It might be her father’s dying wish-- to have her find someone that she could share her life with; but at that time and until now, it isn’t her top priority.

Finally, having the money to buy her a one-way ticket to Manila; Charlene left after a week. She only had a backpack full of clothes and a family picture of their whole clan; the Gosengtian clan, in her mother’s side. She and her father were included in the picture, as it was taken in a family reunion back when she was 4 years old. Her mother, Rosanna, died the next year because of kidney failure.

As she left Seoul for good, she left all the bad memories behind. She was sure that when she arrives in Manila; she will build up her life. That was the place that she grew up; and there she would find the answers.

----

“And that’s a wrap, people! Good job!” A man yelled out from the camera, one of the Russo brothers; as the filming for Avengers: Infinity War had come to a close.

Each and everyone cheered and shook each hands to congratulate the hard work that everybody gave for the making of the film.

Then, someone announced a group hug in the middle of the buzz; the god of mischief himself, Loki-- portrayed by one of the most charming and eligible English actor, Tom HIddleston.

Tom had another Tom, (Tom Holland) hugging him from behind; while Chris Hemsworth took his right arm to wrap around his shoulders.

“Thanks so much, man. You’ve been the best.” Chris told him, while RDJ, joined the circle of group hug to give Tom a kiss on the cheek.

Scarlett Johansson joined in then Sebastian Stan, Dave Baustista, Zoe Saldana and almost all of the actors and crew joined in.

In the middle of it all, Tom was smiling the brightest. He knew that he will miss all of these wonderful people that he had worked with, day and night.

After the group hug and everything else, Tom returned to his trailer to take a rest. When he got inside, he didn’t bothered to take off the armor; he just flopped down on to the bed and he closed his eyes.

It had been a tough but wonderful first half of the year. He thought.

Just as he was about to drift off into a sleep, he heard his phone ring; it was one from the talent agency.

“Yep, hullo.” Tom answered as he sat up from the bed.

“Hey, Tom. It’s Hodell here” a man spoke over the line.

“Oh yes, Chris; what’s up?” Tom asked.

“Listen, I had call from Andy Lockley; he said that he would like you to play the lead part for that movie that they are doing.”

Tom tried to recall the last few movies that the Lockley Studios had made and the last one was about a swashbuckling pirate and something about the search for El Dorado.

“Well, would I get to hold a sword there? Save some damsels-in-distress?” Tom joked.

“Nope. It’s nothing like it; you’ll be holding guns and driving cars, that’s what I heard.”

He had to hold an excited guffaw when he heard that. It was a change of scenery and scripts for him, and Tom was actually willing to take on the role.

“So, what’s the working title, by the way? Who are the other leads?” He followed.

“You seem interested. The title’s The Last Deal, you’ll be working with Paula Weissman and Ian Velasquez.”

Tom sighed and laid down again on his bed and answered, “I’ll take it. Tell them I will take the role.”

“Great, I’ll pass them the good news.” Chris replied.

“Thank you, Chris. Okay, bye.” Then Tom ended the call, but something got his curiosity; the lead actress, Paula Weissman.

He opened his mobile browser and started looking her up on Google. Then, he saw her in Cosmopolitan’s July issue, and he swore she was more gorgeous than his ex.

“Well then. She’s blonde, a former ballerina, and stage actress. Not bad, though.”

Tom could snigger to himself as he placed down the phone once and for all. There was something about that film that made him feel excited; though he wasn’t sure if it was about the role or his co-star.

But something in him knew, it would be a great role to take on.

----

Charlene arrived at the production warehouse of ABS-CBN, a leading broadcasting channel in the Philippines; along Mother Ignacia street in Quezon city; just after she had done work as a Teleserye extra for the primetime series, Ang Probinsyano.

She was called up by her childhood friend, Dodong, as he said, something had come up and he knows that she would be interested. There, she met with the stunt team that her father used to work with; though some of the members are all new, but the older members immediately recognized her.

“Cha! Is that you?” Dodong’s father, Artem, greeted her when she got inside the warehouse where they are permitted to have their stunt practices.

“Uncle Artem, how are you?” Charlene greeted back and came close to give him a hug.

Artem and Bo-Gyeong were close friends along with Charlene’s maternal uncle, Barty. All of them practiced martial arts under one teacher and there their friendship was formed.

“Oh my, how much you’ve grown! I remember when you were just a girl, now you’re a young woman.” Artem then compared her height with Dodong’s.

“Well, it’s been 10 years. Dodong here grew some abs, I can see that.” Charlene trifled with Dodong and punched his sides.

“Yes, you’ve been gone that long but Dodong still won’t stop talking about you.” Artem remarked, to which Dodong dirtily eyed his father for talking too much.

Charlene smiled at Dodong for a while, but he shied away from her gaze. Then, Artem started to talk to Charlene.

“You see, Cha, my friend in L.A. that works for Lockley Studios told me that they are giving out auditions for stunt choreographers or stuntmen for their upcoming action film. I know that Bo trained you well and I believe that you also need to earn money.”

Charlene looked down for a while, it was because she remembered her father again

“So, you want me to join the team?” Charlene politely asked.

“Yes. You are Bo-Gyeong’s daughter, one of the best stunt choreographer and martial artists I have met in my entire life. He is my friend and I’m your godfather; it’s my responsibility, at least, to give you this opportunity.”

That had put a smile on Charlene’s face. Even though Bo-Gyeong was not around anymore, he’d still send someone for her to keep her steady and okay.

“So when do we start?” Charlene’s words radiated with energy.

“This week. But I warn you, it would be a six-month training. We have to look good for the executive producer so they would hire our team.”

“Okay, Uncle Artem. So, after six months of training, we would fly to L.A.?”

“Yes. Maybe in the mean time while we’re there, you could live with your Uncle Barty?”

Charlene nodded, “That would be great.”

The world may have closed the door for Charlene when her father died, but she was sure that would find another way for herself. This was her destiny calling, as she can tell, and she would take it and maker her parents proud, even though they are no longer there.

But for Tom, on the other hand, this new role was also a door to something new in his life. He could just feel, it wasn’t just another new opportunity, it was something else that still couldn’t place a finger on. Though, he is sure it would be a new adventure for him.

President Obama joins other big names in posting touching tributes to Anthony Bourdain

As the shocking news of Anthony Bourdain's death reverberated around the world, the world took to social media to remember the chef and TV personality, sharing memories and thoughts on the man who made such a large impact on his industry and beyond. 

Bourdain rocketed to fame thanks to his 2000 book Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, an early excerpt of which appeared in a 1999 issue of The New Yorker. He later wrote several more books — and even a graphic novel — and his writing continued to appear in places like the New Yorker and the New York Times.

SEE ALSO: Anthony Bourdain has anointed this Filipino street food dish as 'the one'

Television was also a welcome home for Bourdain, who hosted several travel food shows, most notably No Reservations and Parts Unknown, and was a frequent guest on food-related shows like Top Chef.

Through all of these works, Bourdain was, at times, brash and outspoken, the originator of the new wave of "celebrity chefs" that have dominated pop culture over the last decade-plus. But he was also authentic and vibrant, using his platform to bring a broadened sense of culinary and cultural experiences to the masses.

It was an amazing, expansive career, one that left a large imprint on millions, and the sadness of his death was felt by a wide swath of people who shared their feelings on his passing. 

His girlfriend Asia Argento posted a statement on Thursday afternoon.

His partner on-screen, Eric Ripert, also shared a statement later on Friday afternoon.

Anthony was my best friend. An exceptional human being, so inspiring & generous. One of the great storytellers who connected w so many. I pray he is at peace from the bottom of my heart. My love & prayers are also w his family, friends and loved ones. pic.twitter.com/LbIeZK14ia

And many big names were quick to share how he'd touched their lives —  and them was former president Barack Obama, who shared a dinner with Bourdain in Vietnam while he was still president in 2016.

“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him. pic.twitter.com/orEXIaEMZM

A piece of my heart is truly broken this morning. And the irony, the sad cruel irony is that the last year he’d never been happier. The rest of my heart aches for the 3 amazing women he left behind. Tony was a symphony. I wish everyone could have seen all of him. A true friend.

Maybe we all wanted to hang out with him. He was that cool, fun, frank, insightful. He introduced us to distant lands and to people with different traditions. And without ever preaching, he reminded us that we humans are far more alike than different. Thank you Anthony Bourdain pic.twitter.com/QMznx4JMhS

Just saw the sad news that Anthony Bourdain has died. I watched his show when I was in space. It made me feel more connected to the planet, its people and cultures and made my time there more palatable. He inspired me to see the world up close. #RIPAnthonyBourdain pic.twitter.com/Cb6IfmzylN

This is who Anthony was. Asked to donate something for an auction for @HomesForOurTrps, he handed over his beloved — and pricey — watch. He’d give you the shirt off his back. https://t.co/BVvzTxPkPF

Anthony. One of my idols. Unapologetic, passionate and one of the best storytellers on the planet. Thank you for making food so exciting. And always standing up for everything right. Horrible. Why why why. Be at peace now :(

Heartbroken to hear about Tony Bourdain’s death. Unbearable for his family and girlfriend. Am going off twitter for a while

Anthony Bourdain was a champion of cooking without borders; he made all of us more curious cooks. We're struck dumb by this loss. We miss him already. pic.twitter.com/2ZkFfkOS3z

As @NASA searches for life on Mars, we lose the life of beloved Anthony Bourdain on Earth. Implicit and explicit reminders of how precious life is, anywhere in the universe.

Finally, this thread from artist Shivana Sookdeo explains why Bourdain meant so much to so many. Be sure to click through to read the entire thing.

I met Anthony Bourdain only once, while waiting in line at a food festival. Instead of hello he said "hey kid, you hungry?" and it was like I'd bumped into an old friend.
