We know how things are between them xD But here I wanted to illustrate a piece from Hedwig and Vaughn's original story; this is the time period after Vaughn more or less adapted to the Pandoran life - and before they started dating. Pticenoga is one of those characters who is used to defending herself (read her upbringing story here) and overcoming challenges. But tenderness has been a rare treat in her life, especially this kind of tenderness – which is why she was genuinely touched. But, of course, nothing prevented them both from enjoying some wild things and fooling around later x)

Don't forget to find the frog 🐸, it's an easy one P.S. - Pticenoga is a bit like Pulp Fiction's John Travolta here

I want a TMNT iteration crossover but with the turtles being the ages they would currently be in 2023. So you have the 51 year old 1987 turtles, 35 year old 2003 turtles, 26 year old 2012 turtles, 18-20 year old Rise turtles, and 15 year old MM turtles. Put them in a room together.

I appreciate the seed bombing of public spaces as a form of environmentalism as long as you're using native seeds but please don't do it to someone's front yard. I spent nearly six months constantly removing a plant I was incredibly allergic to only to catch someone seedbombing it back because it was 'pretty' and 'had every right to be there'.

My front yard is already filled with pretty and native plants. Even if it wasn't, putting seeds in someone's yard is a jerk move when you don't know them or their history.

I can't take care of a yard filled with plants that make me sick. My yard accounts for most of the neighbourhood's butterfly population on account of everyone else poisons anything in their front yard that isn't grass because of this kind of bad behaviour.

Yes, I'm cutting back a lot of the extra growth out front. It's a fire hazard, there's too much underbrush and I don't intend to be responsible for burning down the neighbourhood. Cutting back plants to reduce fire danger and ensure that I can take care of a garden neglected for over a decade is not a bad thing.

We got twice as many flowers this year because the flowering plants could actually reach the sunlight.

Stop seedbombing my front yard dammit!

SSI began their tour in Ann Arbor, where the college town revolves around the University of Michigan. In true grassroots fashion, the SSI national team got up early to load the van with posters, tabling materials, and of course, Insomnia cookies for the experimental run of the (anti) Hamas Bake Sale. Upon entering U of M’s campus, of which SSI is currently not established on, the SSI national team set up outside on the Diag — University of Michigan’s notorious spot for foot traffic. As most campuses, Michigan’s rules for tabling required a permit of sorts, so the center for student involvement asked the SSI team to head indoors to a hall that was already hosting a bake sale of various other groups.

In the midst of this occasion, students were shocked at the sight of a bake sale for Hamas. The intention was to start conversation, and help people understand that Hamas is a terrorist organization, which focuses on the destruction of Israel and her people. Upon donating to the bake sale, SSI would explain what Hamas stands for, and what the charter in Hamas says about Jews —

“The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,’ except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews.” [Recorded in the Hadith collections of Bukhari and Muslim]. (Hamas Charter, Article Seven)

The SSI table was the most popular table amongst all other bake sale participants, raising $21.00 in the short amount of time SSI was permitted there. The initial reactions to the bake sale stirred students with discomfort. One student’s reaction, of instinctive negativity, later caused him to donate $5.00 to the sale, whose contributions were reallocated to an organization that helps build bomb shelters for children affected by Hamas terror.

With outrage for the bake sale, the Campus police were eventually called, and Students Supporting Israel’s team was asked to leave the premise of University of Michigan’s campus for failure to provide a permit to table. The outrage of the bake sale showed that students DID, in fact, believe that Hamas was a worthy enough cause to get the police involved in. Apathetic students, who otherwise wouldn’t discuss Israel, were defending Israel against Hamas and the bake sale that fronted support for the terrorist organization. This sparked hope in the Van Campaign that perhaps even apathetic students were coming to terms with having a pro-Israel outlook based on the knowledge of the hate geared towards Israel. But that hope was challenged at the next few schools SSI encountered.

Things that crack me up about Legolas:

Okay, so maybe the film guide says he was born in TA 87, but looking at clues from HOME and the Silmariilion, he’s at the very most a bit over 2000 years old at time of The Fellowship of the Ring. He’s the youngest elf that we know about in that time period. ARWEN is older than him. He’s creeped out by Fangorn being so old but he calls all mortals children because he’s a little shit.

Tolkien would get super pissed off when Legolas was shown in illustrations as “pretty or lady-like” and insisted that he was the biggest, roughest, toughest of the elves and the most hardcore of the Fellowship. Legolas is like the freaking Schwarzenegger of the elves, nbd.

Best friend is a dwarf whose father was literally imprisoned by Legolas’ father and yet he still brought him to the Undying Lands for the most awkward family reunion because screw you Thranduil. And let me remind you that a) Gimli is the only, only dwarf who got to make the trip and Legolas invited him. Other people had to get permission from like the literal Valar and Legolas was like I want to bring my mortal bff yeah he wasn’t a ringbearer but whatevs. Also b) most of the people who left in TA 3201 went on like these fleets of beautiful vessels with a master shipbuilder but Legolas was like nope, going to build one myself, never built one before but it can’t be that hard, right?

While Sindarin is the most common Elvish language by the time Legolas is alive, it’s considered really ugly and unrefined, but here Legolas is running around probably not even able to speak the language of his ancestors, and I imagine him super proud of what must sound like an awful accent to his people.

Also super explains how useless he was at Moira trying to decipher the door because he doesn’t have time to deal with those snobs.

All the Fellowship got useful gifts or ones with spiritual meaning but instead Galadriel was like no, Legolas, I’m going to give you this big ass bow that’s bigger than the Mirkwood ones and it’s going to be so sick yeah it’s like taller than you are BUT ITS GOING TO LOOK SO SWEET.
