Days of Lantana ~ Live

Lantana caught in a traffic jam on the freeway after work and stomping hard on the brake petal near as to bust the brake lights. Lantana vowed to start bringing a sledge hammer to smash out the lights on the next car to come to a halt in front of her on the freeway before she realized that the sledge hammer probably weighed more than she did.

“Me, I’m all about the nectar, man,” declared Lolo Lantana. “Those bumble bees and butterflies come and go all day long, always looking for more joy. It’s all about the give and take, if you know what I mean. The true balance of nature.”

Ever since the day that you went away

You've been sending flowers to me

Send me no flowers today

Instead of sending flowers come back to me

And hold me in your arms again

Day 8 : Favorite Ending

Ending 7 - Lantana 🏀✨️

When I first watched and finished Kuroko no Basuke (before the movie got out), I thought I would cry my soul out. I couldn't, because I wasn't even sad. I was oddly happy. The first time I watched this ending was in the last episode, and when I saw the ending screen with all the characters, I just felt happy. I loved knowing all of them and seeing them all in one place, I loved and enjoyed the story and I was just so happy and proud to be a part of something so great! Every next time when I rewatched KuroBasu though, I would feel sadder and sadder seeing the ending, because I would realise that it is over. Kuroko no Basuke's story is really finished. We will not watch any new matches, sit on the edges of our chairs and wonder who will win, we will not meet any new characters, see any new interactions between members of our favorite teams...

When the movie came out, I remember not wanting to watch it for a while, because episode 75 was still somehow the end of KuroBasu in my head. I also saw some not-so-good reviews, so I was a little scared... When I did watch it, after almost a year, I remember not even feeling like it was Kuroko no Basuke. The change in the art style was too much for me and seeing all the characters with different noses and hairstyles was so strange. I grew to love the movie more over the years, but still, finishing the anime, hearing Lantana and seeing the screen with all the characters still hit different. I also really loved Oldcodex and Tatsuhisa Suzuki at that time. I still love their music, and to this day Lantana is one of my favorite songs they ever made.

Kuroko no Basuke's story might be over, but it is never going to end, because of the fans. Even though the fandom is dying and asisn't big as before, it still exists! We still exist and enjoy the show, love the characters, make fanarts, edits, write fanfictions, write our opinions on the show, make theories, make tier-lists and so much more... We make Kuroko no Basuke alive and the story will not end as long as we are here to tell it to someone and share it. ✨️

Purple Day 

Raising awareness about a condition that affects millions worldwide is vital in promoting understanding, education, and compassion towards those living with epilepsy.

Purple Day is a grassroots celebration that is aimed at raising worldwide awareness of epilepsy, a condition that affects over 65 million people globally. As a neurological condition that causes seizures and often begins in childhood, epilepsy is sometimes misunderstood which can lead to difficulty in social situations. The idea of Purple Day is to provide education to those who don’t understand the condition, as well as for those who have epilepsy to recognize that they are not alone.

Because lavender is the international color for epilepsy and is also a color that symbolizes solitude, it only made sense that purple would be the color of choice for this important day of recognition and awareness!

History of Purple Day

Cassidy Megan, a nine-year-old from Canada, founded Purple Day in 2008 when she was motivated by her own struggle with epilepsy. Cassidy’s efforts were supported by the Epilepsy Association of The Maritimes (EAM) of Canada, as well as the Anita Kaufmann Foundation of New York, and the day eventually became an international event.

In fact, Purple Day’s popularity grew quickly! The celebration in 2009, the second year of its existence, brought at least 100,00 students, 95 workplaces, and 116 politicians out to participate in the day’s festivities.

From there the day simply kept growing. It’s hard to believe that only 10 years later, in 2019, Purple Day had made its way to Disney World! Sponsored by the Epilepsy Foundation of Central Florida, Purple Day shared the magic with many participants. The day’s founder, Cassidy Megan, made a special appearance (wearing a purple evening gown, of course) and became good friends with Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Now, Purple Day is celebrated on every continent and in over 100 countries, in places such as India, Australia, South Africa, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Of notable importance, however, is the fact that the only nation whose government officially recognizes this day currently is Canada, which was put into effect with the Purple Day Act on June 28, 2012.

How to Celebrate Purple Day

Celebrating this day is not only fun, but is also important in raising awareness for this challenging neurological disorder. Try out these ideas or be creative with others ideas to help the cause:

Wear Purple

Obviously, one of the easiest things to do to honor the celebration of Purple Day is to pull something purple out of the closet and put it on. A purple shirt, dress, pants or hat will certainly do the trick. Or try dressing in purple from head to toe!

Consider stepping outside the box with purple eyeshadow, purple face glitter or purple lipstick. For those who are more committed to the cause, purple hair dye could make a huge impact.

People who would like to celebrate by wearing an official purple t-shirt for the day, can access a Purple Day t-shirt on the official website.

Organize a Purple Day Event

Host a special coffee morning, organize a quiz night or hold a murder mystery evening in support of Purple Day. (These can all be done in person or virtually.) The Epilepsy Society of the UK offers easy-to-use resources for gathering friends, family, and coworkers for an awareness event.

For more creative ideas, consider what people have done in the past in support of Purple Day. Some have raised funds for the charity by dying their hair purple, shaving their head completely, scaling 1000 flights of steps or giving up something they love for the month. Others have organized a fun run, walk, or cycle (26 miles is perfect on the 26th!) to raise awareness for those who live with epilepsy.

Alternatively, dress in purple and hold a purple-themed fund-raising event in aid of either EANS, The Anita Kaufman Foundation or any other charity supporting epilepsy awareness.

Learn about Epilepsy

Head over to the local library to check out some books that will provide interesting, educational information about the condition of epilepsy. The internet also offers a significant number of resources provided to raise awareness about this condition.

Even just reading through Cassidy Megan’s story can help folks become better aware and more understanding about the challenges and victories that are involved with this condition. Anything that can be done to learn more about epilepsy and tell others about Purple Day is a great way to honor this day.

Be Creative with Purple

It’s never too early to start sharing with children about epilepsy–especially if someone they know might be dealing with its effects. For families or school teachers, Purple Day is an ideal time to have kids wear purple.

But, more than that, it’s a good chance to dip into fun activities that give opportunities to share what the day is all about. Try these crafts and activities on for size:

In art class, explore the wide variety of shades of purple by creating basic geometric shapes and then mixing purple paint with whites and blacks.

For a less messy version, pull out all of the purple shades of construction paper and let the kids use their safety scissors to cut out shapes and combine them into art.

Create a purple-fizz volcano science experiment by using baking soda and white vinegar as well as food coloring in red and blue. Of course, it should probably be attempted outside or in an area that allows for easy clean up!

Have a Purple-Themed Dinner

Purple foods can be hard to come by, but it’s possible to have a nutritious meal with (mostly) the color purple. Not only are they fun to look at, but purple foods are packed full of nutritional value!

What’s on the menu for Purple Day? Well, eggplant might be the obvious choice for the main dish, while purple sweet potatoes or purple carrots might be another option (albeit a bit exotic and maybe harder to find). Try a purple cabbage slaw or purple kale (also called redbor) salad. Then round things out by serving a purple fruit salad using blackberries, purple grapes, blueberries, and purple acai berries.

For those who aren’t cooking an entire meal, purple yogurt (colored with berries) could be a fun snack. For beverages, consider options such as grape juice, grape KoolAid, or grape Fanta soda.

Become a Purple Ambassador

Anybody interested in raising awareness for epilepsy and supporting Purple Day can become an ‘Ambassador of Purple’. This role involves wearing purple and spreading awareness of epilepsy in the local community and to friends and family.

Purple Day Guiness Book of World Records

In 2017, Anita Kauffman, one of the original supporters of the day, initiated the setting of a Guinness World Record for the largest ever epilepsy training session. The event was combined with the Purple Day Walk and occurred at Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, USA.

Rags side of the family! Damask is the eldest, Clout being the second eldest, then Rags the youngest. His parents (Jimson and Lantana) are…not really there. They are rich and only care about their lover and company. They neglect their kids, the nanny and butler having to raise them, and while they won’t do any harm to their children unprovoked, if one were to get in the way of their love…you can see what happened to Damask. Overall his brothers do their own thing, figuring that’s the best they could do.

Here is a photo of an Indigenous Anowaran flower I saw today. I'm posting it to honor Indigenous Peoples Day. Not all of my ancestors were Indigenous to Anowara (aka the Americas) but some of them were, which is why I choose to honor them on this day instead of the man who terrorized our kin in the Caribbean. Speaking of which, Peace on Earth, FGS!
