keep the change is genuinely so shit like the reason max improves is bc david improved. its bc david changed and put campbell to the side in order to give max the opportunity to have a better time at camp, to build a support system for him and give him the time and patience to become better. he gave him room to change. that's why they rub off on each other, because they help each other become better.

"max got better bc david rubbed off on him and david got worse bc max rubbed off on him" implying that max is somehow like?? "corrupting" david?? and this is in season 4 after parents day established that max's behaviour stems from literal abuse and neglect? because hes a kid and david is the adult with the choice to either ignore that or actually step up to help him? fucking yikes of an episode

Saw a musical play that featured this scene today. Let me tell you, I was enthralled.

(It was a production of The Snow Queen by the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh. Photo is from the production company.)

Reblogging for obvious reasons because I'm love them 💕❤️🖤 BUT it bugs me a little bit because 3-4 out of the 6 are Corvus species (depending on if you're still saying that about jackdaws) and yes it is the largest genus in the family and also my favorite. BUT there's still a little under 100 other species in the family that rarely get any recognition. Not dunking on black feathers at all but there are so many colorful, beautiful jays (including one literally called the beautiful jay) and magpies and treepies and various other lesser-known beasts in the Corvid family, so it makes me a tiny bit sad that true crows are the only ones in the spotlight

Other emperors in Chinese history: In order to prevent my tomb from being robbed, I’m going to build it on a remote mountain, hide it in a vast underground palace, and set a bunch of booby traps

The controversial and self aware emperors: I will do all of the above and hide the location of my tomb so my enemies cannot find it and desecrate it after my death

Liu Bei, Emperor of Shu: My tomb is in a royal temple right smack in the middle of my country’s capital, in the busiest area of the city. I am buried in a mound with my belongings, above ground.

Liu Bei’s son: I’m going to put Zhuge Liang’s temple right across the street from my father’s temple and grave

A governor of Sichuan, a few hundred years later: Zhuge Liang’s temple is much more popular among the everyday folk than the royal temple across the street. In order to uphold royal honor, let’s combine the two temples so that people have to pay their respects to the late emperor when they want to pray at Zhuge Liang’s shrine!

The people of Sichuan: Okay, we’ll refer to the combined temple as Zhuge Liang’s temple because we like him more, even though it’s technically also Liu Bei’s grave

Grave robbers, when they find the graves of other emperors: This grave is in the middle of nowhere, the closest village is a few days walk, and nobody even remembers where the grave is anymore so it should be safe for us to camp out here for a couple days, locate an entrance to the grave, and dig!

Grave robbers, when someone suggests robbing Liu Bei’s tomb: Everybody knows his tomb is in Zhuge Liang’s temple, which is one of the most popular temples in the province. The temple is in the busiest and thus one of the most closely policed districts in the city, surrounded by restaurants, markets, and residential homes. This is the temple where the city people come to pray for good luck and hold their annual festivals. I don’t think we could get away with camping out and digging here in the middle of the city.

And because for the last ~1800 years the city remained densely inhabited and the temple popular among the city folk and visitors alike, Liu Bei’s grave became the only royal grave from the three kingdom’s period that remained undisturbed by robbers.

"TWO KINGSTON MEN IN "HOLD-UP" GANG," Daily British Whig (Kingston, Ontario). October 22, 1920. Page 2. --- Four Men Arrested for Working in Sudbury District. ---- Word was received here from Toronto that four men who have been doing a hold-up business in the Sudbury district have been arrested by the provincial police. Two of them claim to come from Belleville and two from Kingston. Last week near Smoky Falls, while a local boat-builder was working on the river bank, a stranger approached him and closely questioned him. Having ascertained that he had no firearms handy and that no person was near to raise an alarm the stranger started whistling. Three other men appeared on the scene. Two of them covered the boat builder with their revolvers and marched him to his house. The strangers ransacked the house throughout. In searching the boat-builder's trunk they upset some pictures and from between them fell bills to the value of $200. The intruders took away two rifles and all the available ammunition. After making several more "hold ups" they were arrested at a lumber camp on the C.N.R., seventy miles north of Sudbury.

Camp Robber

A camp robber I found on my trip up Coyote Creek. While I was sitting and eating lunch in a meadow, in they came but did not give me any shots. As soon as I packed up and started to leave, they started posing. I have been using a BlackRapid RS-4 camera strap for a while now, so I was able to get some shots of them.

Triton “I’m not particularly interested in my half-blood brother’s life, I just think…” ‘s opinions on some of Percy’s relationship outside the seafam:

Chiron: Should’ve been more careful with Percy, but overall okay given Chiron being an obviously underpaid and overworked old man

Grover: He likes him. It’s pity he didn’t marry Polyphemus, it’d be nice to have him in the family and maybe he would convince good old Polyphemus to start a healthier diet

Luke: Bad thing he betrayed Olympus, blah blah blah, but in a positive light he left camp before Percy’s hero worship turned into something more 👍

Annabeth: She… oh… okay… I guess I can’t write that, Triton. I’ll leave it here that you are strongly against her near your brother. What? No, I won’t say that either. What does Athena and Pallas have to do with this… Okay, enough. Next!

Apollo: Again, I can’t write that. I cannot call the god of sun a [redacted]!!! Okay, I’ll leave the message. Directly quoting Triton (not my words, Triton’s) “I know things about you, cradle robber. Don’t make me come for you!”

Hermes: Not bad. He’s happy that at least one god has restraining. Keep distance, either way. In fact, STOP visiting Percy with presents you were NOT allowed to gift him with.

Thalia: Surprisingly alright about their friendship, laments that she is the daughter of who she is, but she’s got points since she doesn’t like her father much, too.

Hazel: Best half-blood around (after Percy, ofc), says he’d like to have her and Frank over to dinner any day at the palace.

Frank: Basically family, he totally approves of Percy’s friendship with him. Pity he’s Roman and child of Mars, “no one is perfect, I guess”

Nico: In the name of Lady Amphritite, Lord Triton is asking you to eat more healthily. Mostly okay and “Don't crush on Percy again, if you know what's good for you.”

Jason: Roman. Jupiter. Multiple hisses… I don’t know what he meant with it, but whatever.

Beckendorf: He’s ranting for three hours about how great Beckendorf was. Terms such as “Honorary Percy’s Big Brother” were used.

Rachel: Very nice mortal. Poor taste in patrons, though.

Blue and Canadian Jays, with some of their favorite trees. The blue jay can do an incredibly accurate imitation of a red-shouldered hawk to scare smaller birds away from food sources, and the Canada jay is super bold, and as earned the nickname “camp robber” for stealing food from humans. :-)

[ID: an illustration of a smaller grey and white Canada jay above and a blue and black-barred blue jay below, both in flight, surrounded by branches, leaves, and cones from birch, spruce, oak, fir, aspen, birch, and maple trees. These are all on a blue background with snow, and are labeled in white. End.]

[PART 2 OF THIS]

[After R/n’s calamitous phone call attempt to Simon, she ran a good five blocks before she felt safe enough to breath and think of a plan.]

R/n, sitting on a curb: okay...okay, I really regret not going to the gym with Si now....Shit!

{She swallows hard and looks behind her, the people chasing her were probably a two blocks away that only gave her small window of time.}

R/n: Okay, R/n. You managed to get, ah... Some distance from the guys chasing you, that’s the first thing Simon you told to do...Now next would be to find a place to hide, too bad it’s too freaking sunny out to do so!

R/n: And I can’t hide in plain sight since they know what clothes I’m wearing...

{R/n looks around and recognizes what street she’s on, there was goodwill shop across the street from her, she quickly got up and ran inside; knowing the van was probably around the block.]

R/n: Okay...they’re finding me a bit fast for comfort...

(R/n thinks and looks at her purse/mini-backpack...Could there be a tracker in it? she didn’t dwell on it too long, R/n quickly grabbed some pants a large hoodie, a hat and neck gaiter. she quickly ditched her old clothes and bag; taking just her wallet with her. R/n practically threw the money at the confused clerk as she speed walked passed the checkout.]

Clerk: Wait! ma’am, your change!

R/n, not looking back: Keep it! 

(R/n pulls the hood and neck gaiter up and walks out the back. she exits the alley in time to see the van pull up and two men rush into the good will. the y/ht(your height), woman knew they were not gonna be happy when they find R/n was long gone, and with that R/n calmly walked away towards a more populated area and hopefully she can get ahold of a phone so she can get through to Ghost this time!)

(Meanwhile)

[Ghost and the rest of the 1-4-1 arrived to his house, which was completely trashed, Ghost looked around his livingroom frowning under his mask as he found his wedding photo on the floor. it wasn’t some grand fancy event,  just a small court house wedding with your parents/guardian and couple of your friends, Ghost stomach churned at the memory.

Despite him being the one who proposed in the first place, Simon had tried to talk R/n outta of it...He warned her, he warned her that if they went through with it; R/n would be a walking target, she wouldn’t have a normal life anymore and yet... She still said yes.)

Soap, as he looks at the photo over Ghost’s shoulder: Steamin’ Jesus, he wasn’t fookin wit’ me, he really is married!...(to Price.) Did ye know?

Price: I knew he had a wife. That’s about it, Ghost doesn’t really speak about his home life much.

[Then everyone looked around the house it was clear someone was looking for something...and judging how a good number of Ghost and R/n’s valuables were left out on the dining room table, they were probably coming back...or. 

*The stairs creaked* 

They never left...Everyone freezes as a young man in his late teens to early twenties dressed all in black comes walking down the stairs; talking loudly. He probably assumed the 1-4-1 were his buddies coming back for him and their loot.]

Robber, while holding R/n’s jewelry box: Jeez, you guys took yer sweet time how hard is it to catch a woma...*Sees the group of giant armed men staring at him.* ...aaan?

Ghost: Don’t you fucking move...

[the Robber throws the box at them and tries to bolt out the backdoor! He gets clotheslined by Gaz who was camping around the corner. Cut to the kid being tied to a chair as Ghost stands over him menacingly]

Ghost, cracking his knuckles: Now...Let’s get acquainted shall we?~
