You're walking through the woods, just trying to clear your head. The birds are singing. Leaves are crunching under your feet. It's peaceful. But you feel like you're being watched.

You turn around. Nothing. You try to tell yourself that you're just being paranoid. Irrational. But the feeling doesn't fade. You turn around again. Still nothing. You keep walking, your gait quickened by the sudden need to get the hell away from whatever is hunting you.

The third time you turn around... you see, slowly peaking out from behind a tree... HIM.

He looks at you with this wide-eyed smile. He says nothing.

What do you do?

KYLO:

Rey is her name

She's the strongest girl in the game

and 29 was the age that I hoped that we'd be engaged.

She was out of my league,

and out of this world,

but I couldn't seem to get over this girl,

so I asked for help from the one I trusted the most

vader/anakin:

You have got to be kidding me. 🙄

PJO SPOILERS!!!!!!

I'm only making one post tonight because I gotta be up in a few hours but WOW!!!!! What a finale episode!!!!! It was everything I loved from the book and more. Also that scene with Percy and Poseidon!? I actually got teared up. You could just SEE the pain and grief in Poseidon's eyes over the fact that he couldn't be with Percy and Sally and it was so heartbreaking!!!

Also ADORE that Poseidon saved Percy from Zeus. Not only from the bolt, but by surrendering. We all know how prideful the gods are, especially Big 3 gods, so the fact that Poseidon put Percy FIRST over his pride makes my heart melt. I always believed that as far as the Greek gods go in PJO, Poseidon was one of the better and more genuinely caring parents, and the show is just proving me right 1000%. Its also a good moment because it demonstrates to Percy that the gods aren't all black and white; they're not all terrible parents by choice. In my opinion, this moment gives Percy's motivation on fighting FOR the gods more weight and grounding. Because he sees that his dad DOES care about him. We all say Percy could've EASILY turned out like Luke, but because Percy sees that his dad does care about him, and that some gods do care about their kids, it allows him to see that not all the gods are completely terrible for the sake of being terrible. I still love his motivation in the books where he fights for the sake of his friends, but I like that the show is letting Percy see too that the gods, like humans, are multiple layered and that they have their reasons. This is not me trying to justify all the gods' actions btw, but I do think that there are SOME gods at least that aren't completely terrible for no reason like Zeus and Ares in PJO, and Poseidon protecting Percy is a great show of that and adds to Percy's decision to defend the gods instead of fighting against them, even though he and Luke are a lot alike with similar feelings of abandonment and resentment.

Also, I wonder how the TV only viewers are doing right now after Luke's betrayal. From what I heard, TV viewers loved Luke, so I can only imagine how WRECKED they must be feeling. I feel devastated, and I saw it coming as a book reader. That's how great Luke's actor was, and how great the show portrayed Luke as a older brother figure to Percy.

Overall, AMAZING final. I'll try to express more thoughts tomorrow.

The Untold Story Behind "The Ghost and The Darkness"

In 1896, a series of horrific events unfolded in the Tsavo region of Kenya, capturing the world's attention. This true story, later dramatized in the 1996 film "The Ghost and The Darkness," recounts the chilling tale of two man-eating lions that terrorized the construction of the Uganda Railway.

The construction of the railway was a significant undertaking, employing thousands of workers. However, the project was beset by a pair of remarkably cunning and aggressive lions that preyed on the construction crews. These two felines, dubbed the "Tsavo man-eaters," were responsible for the deaths of an estimated 135 workers, causing widespread fear and disrupting the railway's progress.

The story's central figures were Lieutenant Colonel John Henry Patterson, the engineer overseeing the railway construction, and the two notorious man-eaters. Patterson, played by Val Kilmer in the film, embarked on a harrowing quest to track down and eliminate the lions, which exhibited extraordinary intelligence and hunting prowess.

The film's depiction of the events, while dramatic, is largely faithful to the historical record. Patterson's own accounts, published in his book "The Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo," provide vivid details of the hunters' pursuit and the lions' relentless attacks.

The enduring legacy of the Tsavo man-eaters lies in their ability to captivate the public imagination, serving as a powerful symbol of the dangers and mysteries that still lurk in the wild. The story continues to fascinate and inspire, serving as a testament to the ongoing struggle between humans and the untamed forces of nature.
