Send 🍷 for your muse to be kissed by a drunk angel Nathan who’s had his first glass of wine (Finley; @mxrvelouscreations

emoji meme || @mxrvelouscreations || accepting

Oooh this is-!

He couldn't quite collect his thoughts the way he normally could - instead they went in every direction, and he felt more relaxed than he'd done in centuries. He was almost done with his first glass of wine in his existence and everything seemed so pleasant and lovely.

He took another sip, enjoying how the taste unfolded on his tongue. Nothing special to the trained palate perhaps, but to Nathan it was exciting and new.

Finley was next to him on the couch, and Nathan beamed at him, suddenly so happy his heart could burst. Following a sudden impulse, he leaned in to brush their lips together, smiling into the kiss.

We Can Be Heroes (2020)

I don’t know why Robert Rodriguez keeps returning to these special effects-heavy kid adventures. Why would anyone of any age want We Can Be Heroes when they could be watching the real thing? If you can see this Netflix original, you have access to dozens of better, theatrically-released superhero films.

In a world where superheroes regularly save the day, powerless Missy Moreno (YaYa Gosselin) watches in horror when her father and his super teammates are easily defeated and then kidnapped by space invaders. As the world prepares to surrender to the extraterrestrials, Missy and the rest of the children of the Heroics decide it’s up to them to save the day.

Like so many of Rodriguez’s other pictures, this one assumes the audience is stupid. Accompanying Missy are a half-dozen pint-sized amateur heroes. There’s stretchy Noodles (Lyon Daniels); Wild Card (Nathan Blair), who has “every power out there” but can’t focus his abilities; A Capella (Lotus Blossom) whose voice can make objects levitate; Slo-Mo (Dylan Henry Lau) who moves in slow-motion; Guppy (Vivien Blair), the daughter of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (we’ll get to them in a moment); “so strong he can’t walk because his muscles would crush his bones” Wheels (Andy Walken); siblings Rewind and Fast Forward (Isaiah Russell-Baily and Akira Akbar) named for their abilities to speed up/rewind time; Ojo (Hala Finley), whose drawings foretell the future; and Facemaker (Andrew Diaz), who can change his appearance. Even with the utterly useless Slo-Mo, the ability to rewind time and predict the future should make them invincible. Unfortunately, no one knows how to use their powers properly. Slo-Mo, for example. He would be useful if Fast Forward just sped him up all the time. Even then he would still be a hindrance because you know what’s faster than a slow kid sped up? a regular kid sped up. Give it a few minutes. You’ll be screaming at the screen in frustration.

It’s clearly a superhero film written by someone who knows NOTHING about superhero movies or comic books. The kids suggest their parents were easily defeated because they wear “masks which obscured their vision” or costumes with “underwear on the outside”. First of all, only one member of the Heroics wears a mask: Sharkboy. It's not to look cool, it's so we can't tell he isn't played by Taylor Lautner. Want to guess how many of the costumed heroes wear the strongman shorts even the current cinematic version of Superman doesn’t wear? Zero! One of the kids is called “Wheels”, the name Wolverine jokingly gave to Professor X in X-Men!

Compared to The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl (whom this isn’t actually a sequel to, confusingly), the special effects are Jurassic Park. That’s good. Performance-wise? you’ll be reaching for earplugs. The worst offender is easily Vivien Blair, who can be given some slack because she’s what… 8? but is still horrible. The action is staggeringly poor. In many scenes, the alien villains stand around, obviously waiting for their cues so they can run up to someone they could easily lift over their head and toss away like trash but pretend to be unable to. Many times throughout, the kids stumble artificially constructed scenarios where they powers just happened to be exactly what’s needed to escape. Shoddy writing plagues nearly every scene. The alien invasion is happening in 3 hours. One of the first things the kids do is go to Missy’s grandmother’s home so they can train. Train?! For what? 30 minutes? That’s won't make any difference, particularly when the team leader has no plan.

The plot holes in We Can Be Heroes are numerous but I can foresee protests should I bring them up. You see, there’s a twist at the end. Turns out the aliens are not invaders after all. This whole thing - the attack, the kidnapping of the parents, the sinister administrators at the junior Justice League school - was all an elaborate test. See, the parents were deemed inadequate saviors because they constantly bicker among themselves so the aliens decided the kids were the answer. Wow. I sure hope no one takes offense at spacemen hijacking the United States' government and that no one felt so upset at the thought of being enslaved by Marzoids that they made rash decisions… they’ll REALLY regret them come tomorrow. So the ships with the convenient control mechanisms, the villains who gave themselves away, the ones who purposely destroyed their own ship and supplied their “enemies” with ammunition? it was all a test. I guess that’s why the parents were so intent on escaping their prison.

Once again, Robert Rodriguez - who directed, produced, wrote, shot, and edited the film - has emerged from his echo chamber to deliver a sloppy picture that feels like it was written decades ago and went through no revisions. At best, you can have fun at the film’s expense by pointing out the plot holes and thinking of ways it could be improved. Most people would rather shut it off. (January 8, 2021)

Boys

A Andrew vs. Aaron Alan vs. Alexander Aiden vs. Adam B Brennan vs. Brayden: Both of these are awful but I guess I gotta pick. Brandon vs. Braxton Bentley vs. Brimley C Cayden vs. Camden: Again, both equally cringey for me. Cole vs. Cameron Cade vs. Chandler: Chandler is a cute name for a girl, but I have a bias for Chandler Bing too hahaha. D Denver vs. Dallas Deklan vs. Dylan: I prefer the spelling Declan, though. Also, I technically like Dylan just a little bit more and would have picked it, but I like it for a girl. My sister had a classmate named Dylan and it sounded really good on her. David vs. Dennis E Ethan vs. Ezra Eitan vs. Elijah Emmanuel vs. Eden: Again, I prefer the name Eden for girls.

F Fabio vs. Ferdinand: I very hesitatingly picked Fabio hence the italics, but I very much dislike both. This is also what I’ll be doing for the rest of the names on here. Finnegan vs. Finley Fernando vs. Frankie: For the millionth time, Frankie is cute for a girl (this is where y’all really see that I prefer daughters more HAHAHA), and this is also because there’s a local singer named Frankie that I really admire.  G Gavin vs. Gus Gumby vs. Gerrick George vs. Grant H Harper vs. Harley Hayden vs. Henry Harlow vs. Hank I Ian vs. Ivan Indigo vs. Iris: Can I just say these are both better off as girl names? Indiana vs. Iris: And these, too?

J John vs. Jericho Jacob vs. Jameson Jasper vs. Jedidiah K Kayden vs. Koa Kent vs. Kyle Kevin vs. Konner: I prefer the spelling Connor, though. L Lars vs. Liam Levi vs. Lance Lester vs. Lorenzo M Michael vs. Matthew Maverick vs. Mason Madison vs. Micah N Nolan vs. Nathan Niko vs. Nathaniel Nicholas vs. Nate: I honestly like both. I can go with naming a son Nicholas then giving them Nate as a nickname. O Ocean vs. Oscar: I hate nature names and Oscar screams old-guy-name to me. Sorry to all the Oscars :( Orville vs. Otis Otto vs. October P Patrick vs. Percy Preston vs. Paisley Parker vs. Passion Q Quincy vs. Quinn Quada vs. Quinten Quailen vs Quidditch R Raven vs. Riley Rowan vs. Rod Ray vs. Roy: I have a bit of a sentimental attachment to Roy cos it’s an occasional nickname Gab’s dad uses. S Skylar vs. Scott: Only because a high school classmate named her kid Schuyler and that baby is seriously adorable, bubbly, and well-behaved. Storm vs. Steven Sorin vs. Solomon T Trevor vs. Travis Todd vs. Taylor Taytum vs. Tanner U Ulysses vs. Uman Umbo vs. Uno Utah vs. Usher: I dislike most geographic names, but I’d rather I name my baby Utah then have them be sang sex-themed songs by Usher by meaner kids throughout their childhood lmao.   V Vance vs. Vincent Vern vs. Vayde Vernon vs. Vayden W Walter vs. Wyatt Wade vs. Winter Wallace vs. Whisper X Xenon vs. Xayden: I really wanted to pick one name for each question, but being stuck between a chemical element and a name ending in -den is an easy no to both for me. Xayler vs. Xavier Xandon vs. Xennan Y Yvonne vs. Yonder: These names are getting more awful now that we’re ending dude, lmao.

Devia vs. Daytona Dakota vs. Darcy E Evonna vs. Eliana Emerald vs. Evangeline Eden vs. Eliza F Felicity vs. Fiona Faith vs. Faye: Both have always been on my blacklist for girl’s names, sorry lol. Flavia (pronoucned Flah-wee-uh) vs. Flora G Grace vs. Gretchen Genesis vs. Galaxy: Please don’t make these names happen. Gabriella vs. Greta: I love both names and have always liked the name Greta because of Greta Garbo, but I’m obviously biased towards my girlfriend so Gabriela/Gabriella it is. H Harper vs. Hope Holly vs. Hailee Harmony vs. Harvest: Again, both cringe material but I guess Harmony makes me cringe juuuuuuust a little less. I Imogene vs. Ivy Isabella vs. Iris Irene vs. Ingrid J Jessica vs. Jacinda Jade vs. Juniper: Juniper would be cute if a baby can stay a baby forever lmao, but I’m generally not a fan. Joanna vs. Joy: But I like the spelling Johanna more. K Kaleidoscope (Kallie for short) vs. Kaylee: Can I just pick the nickname? I hate the other two options :(( Kennedy vs. Kendall: I’d pick both, but thinking as a future mom, I wouldn’t want my daughter to be mercilessly teased for being given a name that’s usually understood to be more masculine in nature. I know we’re all about breaking stereotypes and all, but y’all – realistically, kids can be pretty fucking cruel. Katelyn vs. Katrina L Lacey vs. Linsey Lynnea (proncounced Lynn-ay-uh) vs. Liberty Lara vs. Lola M Morgan vs. Madison Mackenzie vs. Miranda Marissa vs. Monica N Nora vs. Natalie Nevaeh (pronounced Nev-ay-uh) vs. Nicole Niki vs. Noelle O Ophelia vs. Ocean: Only picking Ophelia because I’m generally not a fan of nature names, but there are a lot more better options if I wanted to name my kid after Shakespeare plays, like Beatrice or Emilia. Olivia vs. Onna Opal vs. October: Was never a fan of gemstone names, and there are much better month names than October. P Passion vs. Primrose: I feel the same way for Primrose as I do with Juniper. Mostly cute with babies, but is less cuter on grown-up girls. Penelope vs. Pixie Pandora vs. Palace Q Quintessa vs. Quincy Quaila vs. Quilala (Kwi--lah-lah) Queen vs. Quiencia (Kwee-ence-ee-uh) R Reyna vs. Riley Rosanna vs. Rosemary Rhonda vs. Rodica (Roe-dee-kuh) S Skylar vs. Skye Serena vs. Simone Shailey vs. Sienna T Tessa vs. Taylor Tia vs. Tiana Taytum vs. Trixie: Tatum would be a better spelling. U Una vs. Uta Ulyssia (You-liss-ee-uh) vs. Umba Ula vs. Ursula: Only because it can be a Friends reference lol. V Violet vs. Vylette Veronica vs. Victoria Valencia vs. Valerie W Wynona vs. Whitney: Winona > Wynona, but still. Wynter vs. Whisper Willow vs. Wanda X Xaila vs. Xara Xana vs. Xenon Xavier vs. Xena Y Yasmin vs. Yvonne Yvette vs Yolanda Yori vs. Yaya Z Zayara vs. Zion Zayana vs. Zoey Zen vs. Zara

Final questions!

Your name (first and middle): Robyn Isabelle.Do you like it?I hated the name Robyn throughout my childhood because I always got teased about it. When I got to college and everyone just kinda matured and told me they liked the way my name flowed, I ended up warming up to and loving it.What your parents almost named you:I was almost named Ariel after the Disney princess, and I know my parents were also thinking of naming me Katrina/Katherine/Kaitlyn.Your favorite girl's name (first and middle):Olivia. I don’t have a pick for middle name yet.List five unique names of girls you have met:Shauna, Shontrice, Unila, Ciamae, Rheezan.List five girl's names you don't like:I mostly dislike in-your-face weather/nature names like Winter, Snow, Amethyst, Cloud, Gaia, or Daffodill. But some, like Cheyenne, Rose, and Luna are super cute, too.List five girls name you really like:I’ve done this like 10 times on 10 different surveys but I like names such as Olivia, Elizabeth, Mia, Ava, and Isabella.Your first best friend's name:Kaye.Your siblings names:Nope.The name of the first pet that you loved:Tobi, my pet rabbit.What you would be named if you were the opposite gender:I’ve never asked my parents about this, actually. They’d probably go with a Spanish/Hispanic name, seeing as they went with Joaquin for my brother but were also thinking of naming him Diego.

This is probably too much and it’ll probably be difficult but take each of your OC’s and their love interests and tell us which Taylor Swift song you would relate to their relationship. ❤️👏🏻

Cracks knuckles 

Okay so I’ll be totally honest, this ask took me literally forever and I still don’t have every ship and I feel very bad about that but I did list exactly 100, so hopefully you like them!  And if you want to know a specific ship that isn’t here, or why I chose a specific song for a ship, just shoot me an ask!!!!

I divided them by fandom to try and make it a bit easier to navigate!  And the OC’s name is tagged to their general tag, the ship character is tagged to their ship tag!

     Ellen Lankford at 16

Ellen Kay Lankford, age 57

Miss Ellen Kay Lankford, age 57 of North Wilkesboro, passed away Monday, January 13, 2020 at her home.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held 2:00 PM, Saturday, January 18, 2020, at Arbor Grove United Methodist Church on Arbor Grove Church Road in Purlear, with Rev. Dr. Susan Pillsbury Taylor officiating. Speakers will be Mr. Ken Welborn, Mr. Larry Griffin and Mrs. Janet Lael Wood. The family will receive friends immediately following the service in the fellowship hall of the church.

Miss Lankford was born August 1, 1962, in Wilkes County to Samuel Hayden and Willa Mae McNeil Lankford. She was a laboratory scientist with Guilford County Health Department and was a member of Arbor Grove United Methodist Church.

Ellen always excelled in school. She attended Millers Creek Elementary and West Wilkes High schools. During her senior year, she transferred to Wilkes Central High  School to take advanced classes, which allowed her to enter college as a sophomore. She went to Appalachian State University in Boone where she earned her bachelors degree in biology. She continued her education at Wake Forest Baptist Medical School and Appalachian State University, going on to earn her masters degree in biology.

During high school she worked for Winn-Dixie grocery store in North Wilkesboro and later for Blue Ridge Opportunity Commission under the late Betty Baker. After completing her college education, she worked at Davie County Memorial Hospital in Mocksville. Later, she went to work for the Guilford County Health Department as a laboratory scientist. She also worked part-time at Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro in the same capacity.

She lived in Greensboro during most of her working career. She retired from the Guilford County Health Department. Ellen moved back home to Wilkes in August 2015.

Ellen had no children, but rather looked at her brothers, Mike and Jerry’s, children as her own. Later, when Jerry’s grandchildren arrived, she acted as a grandmother to those children as well. In return, they all loved her dearly.

Although she had many hobbies and interests – mostly dealing with more intellectual endeavors – her main passion and love was for her family, whom she treated wonderfully.

Ellen was also an accomplished pianist and vocalist. She could also play the dulcimer.

She was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers; Gary Steven Lankford and Michael Grayden Lankford.

Ellen is survived by a brother; Jerry Alfred Lankford of Millers Creek, five nieces; Eva May Lankford and fiancé Robert Carlton of Millers Creek, Heather Renee Greene and husband Joven of Wilkesboro, Jennifer Osborne and husband Edwin of Millers Creek, Anna Lankford and husband Josh Church of Millers Creek and Gabriella Lankford of Hamptonville and two great nephews; Sammie Osborne and Charlie Church. Ellen is also survived by her two dearest friends: Janet Lael Wood of Wilkesboro, and Lisa Church of Millers Creek.

There are also four special people Ellen claimed as family. They are Destiny, Cassidy and Samantha Toliver - whom she considered nieces - and their father, Ken Toliver, all of Wilkes. They are the children and husband of Ellen’s dear friend, the late Carmel Toliver.

Special music will be provided by Gabriella Lankford, Destiny Toliver, Larry Griffin and Rev. Dr. Susan Pillsbury Taylor.

Flowers will be accepted or memorials may be made to Window World Cares St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital 118 Shaver Street North Wilkesboro NC 28659.

A to Z: The Most Popular Boys Names

The USA’s name data came out on May 12th this year, and I like to dive in and make a few lists that look at the naming trends and data. This first list is inspired by the top 5 names for each letter of the alphabet for boys in the US.

The names are very similar to last year, with boys names keeping relatively stable in the charts. This year, we welcome Bryson, Eli, George, Israel and Paxton to the top, and say goodbye to Blake, Ezra, Giovanni, Iker and Peter. Stay tuned for the girls version next week!
