Films from the next decade or so include The Hucksters (1947), Show Boat (1951), The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952), Lone Star (1952), Mogambo, nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award (1953), The Barefoot Contessa (1954), Bhowani Junction (1956), The Sun Also Rises (1957) and On the Beach (1959). Off-camera, she could be witty and pithy, as in her assessment of director John Ford, who directed Mogambo ("The meanest man on earth. Thoroughly evil. Adored him!"). In The Barefoot Contessa, she played the role of doomed beauty Maria Vargas, a fiercely independent woman who goes from Spanish dancer to international movie star with the help of a Hollywood director played by Humphrey Bogart, with tragic consequences. Gardner's decision to accept the role was influenced by her own lifelong habit of going barefoot.  Gardner played the role of Guinevere in Knights of the Round Table (1953), with actor Robert Taylor as Sir Lancelot. Indicative of her sophistication, she portrayed a duchess, a baroness and other women of noble lineage in her films of the 1950s.

Gardner played the role of Soledad in The Angel Wore Red (1960) with Dirk Bogarde as the male lead. She was billed between Charlton Heston and David Niven for 55 Days at Peking (1963), which was set in China during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. The following year, she played her last major leading role in the critically acclaimed The Night of the Iguana (1964), based upon a Tennessee Williams play, and starring Richard Burton as an atheist clergyman and Deborah Kerr as a gentle artist traveling with her aged poet grandfather. John Huston directed the movie in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, insisting on making the film in black-and-white – a decision he later regretted because of the vivid colors of the flora. Gardner received billing below Burton, but above Kerr. She was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama and BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance.

“Today we are still preoccupied with creating gardens.Why? To not suffer from hunger. Because having rice, beans, fava beans, maize, peanut — then one can survive.” — Renato, of the Canela community[1]

“The development of what we know as agriculture was not an overnight phenomenon, but rather a several thousand year-long project. In some places in the world, the earliest stages of cultivation were never surpassed, and remain sustainable today. In many more places, the pressures of the global economy have corrupted these practices just in this last century. But in most of the world today, we are witnessing the full-blown colonization of native foodways, and a nearly complete dependence on western industrial practices. To trace this “biodevestation” directly back to cultivation itself, is to ignore the history of conquest and land displacement that pushed the food systems of subsistence cultures to the brink, where they now teeter on the edge of extinction.” — Witch Hazel, Against agriculture & in defense of cultivation

Situated in dense forests and savanna of the Brazilian state of Maranhão lives the indigenous Canela people. In the past they lived from hunting, gathering and gardening but starting from 200 years ago as they were pushed from their traditional territory as settler farmers occupied the land bit by bit. The lush forests are being replaced by industrial eucalyptus and soy plantations, and cattle ranches. They now inhabit an area 5 to 10 percent of their original territory. Traditionally the Canela travelled from place to place as the seasons changed but now adopt a more sedentary lifestyle living in bigger permanent villages. Although the Canela still depend on hunting and foraging they don’t have access to a big enough land base to cover all their needs so they increasingly depend on gardening to meet their needs.

For the Canela gardening is not just to meet their subsistence needs but also a means of resistance against being assimilated into the structures, networks, dependency and the institutional inequality of the Brazilian state, religious institutions, and multinational corporations who are constantly trying to infringe and occupy the Canela’s home.

Other threats to the Canelas way of life are from the environmental effects from the industrialized agriculture of soy and eucalyptus production that causes water depletion which exacerbates drought and soil erosion. The overuse of fertilizers and agrochemicals annihilates plant biodiversity and pollutes the local rivers and waterways with high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus which in turn causes algal blooms which can produce toxins that are harmful to animals and cause dead zones from the reduction of oxygen in the water starving fish and plants. So any flora or fauna living near a eucalyptus or soy plantation is at risk.

The Canela’s subsistence gardening approach is totally different from monocrop agriculture. They work with nature using a conscious ecological and more biodiverse method.Typically in agriculture only a small variety of cash crops are grown in large fields covering acres upon acres of land where in the Amazon large sections of jungle are destroyed. For the Canela gardners instead of being dependent on a small variety of cash crops they cultivate over 300 varieties of plants to meet their subsistence needs. Instead of using destructive hellish machines like bulldozers, ploughs, and combine harvesters they use a slash and burn method to clear small patches just enough for them to use and their tools consist of a digging stick and woven baskets. They only use the same garden for two years and then not use the same area for at least eight years to allow the forest to regrow and return fertility to the soil.

The Canela’s vast knowledge of plants helps them determine which ones make good companions that will help each other grow, which ones are natural repellents to predatory insects that will attack the plants, and which plants to grow which will attract beneficial insects such as pollinizers. And likewise their vast knowledge of soil helps them to consciously plant to suit the 10 different soil groups in their area which will help prevent soil erosion, nutrients depletion, and combat against other harmful effects that are typical of agriculture. Their focus is for caring for the well-being of local biodiversity and the nonhuman inhabitants.

The Canel don’t see themselves as farmers but parents looking after their plant kin viewing their saved seeds and cuttings as their babies and their growing crops as their infants, genuinely loving them in the same way as if they were their human children caring for the plants as the plants care for them. They view the environment as consisting of human and nonhuman “selves”, and gardening as caretaking for themselves and their plant and human families.

Post War Kallus HC that nearly make me cry:

🌱🪻🌻🪻🌱

During the war, he started getting into studying plants and taking care of them. Mostly because Rex and AP start gifting him plants and he was not about to let them die. Soon plants became everyone's go to gift for him. Not only did he learn how to take care of them, but he learned how to propagate as well. He still has every plant he'd ever been gifted.

They are in a green house on Lothal, it's a public botanical garden. The mother plants are kept there while babies have been clipped and grown as small variations to gift to his family. [As having kept every plant alive, he also has the ones that Kanan, Ezra, and Gregor gave him as well.] [If ever asked, the man would deny it, but Draven also gave Kallus a plant. The Gardner keeps the general's secret.]

Back when Kallus was learning how to propagate, he did so to every gifted plant, so all the mother plants have a twin. The Lothal botanical garden has a twin on Lira San.

Farming and Gardening is something he unexpectedly found he enjoys.

Post War, his family encourages his idea to visit as many systems throughout the galaxy as possible and help establish agricultural centers and food forests. He studies each planet’s individual flora and fauna, how they support each other and promote healthy growth. He makes customized plans for each planet. Essentially, he creates the role of Galatic Agricultural Ambassador. He also teaches others and learns from others, founding an entire organization of diplomats, educators, gardener/farmers, and agricultural professors who are also GAAs. It's much faster to help others when there's an entire support system working their way throughout the galaxy than if you're by yourself trying to do it single handedly.

🌱🌻🪻🌻🌱

🪛⚙️🔩

Kallus has always had a soft spot for droids and it has never been a secret. He'll make repairs to them, save them from being mistreated, praise them for the work they do, applaud how they seek advancement, and develop themselves further on their own merits.

He can tell them all apart from one another, he picks up on all their individual quirks and mannerisms. He encourages them to pursue their interests and ambitions.

After the war (and even during, when he had the chance to), he would jailbreak any and every imperial droid that crosses from their imperial programming. It got to the point where droids would lead other droids to Kallus specifically for his help. He will also aid and helping them find homes. Some ask for orders or directives. Rather than doling out tasks, he takes the time to explore things with them. Have them interact with others, allow them to shadow him if they wish. Until they feel a pull to something they think they'd enjoy.

It gets to the point where Kallus will cross paths with a droid he doesn't know, hasn't met yet, but they know him. Because droids talk, they gossip. Kallus finds out that he's become a celebrity to droids and Sabine wipl take every opportunity to fluster him over the fact. Kallus adores droids but hadn't been expecting the sentiment to be returned.

On Lira San, he often collaborates with mechanics there on droid construction. He assists in a new area of creation; the perfect blending of nature and tech. Two of his special interests and he's both thrilled and honored to have been asked to assist.

🔩⚙️🪛

📚📚📚

Kallus is the type that once he picks up a book, he finishes it within only a few hours and needs another. He loves to learn just as much as he loves fictional stories. What he enjoys most is listening to Zeb talk about all the things he had been taught in the university back before he chose to join the honorgaurd.

Kallus already had a pretty good idea of smart Zeb is, but he wasn't aware that Zeb has the equivalent of a PhD that had been required for him to join the honor gaurd, and several other "supplemental" layers of additional education standards to qualify as captain. [Kallus realizes a stark difference between the fundamentals and the very foundation of Lasan's Honorgaurd and the Empire's enlistment. Lasan ensured that every level of their gaurds had not just the understanding of battle tactics, but history, interpersonal & Diplomatic skills, courses about how to handle problems and how those problems began in the first place. Maths, sciences, literacy as supplements to every additional level of education. For the honorgaurd, they taught them understanding of the world around them, meanwhile at the Royal Academy, Kallus was solely taught tactics. Trained to push past his physical limits. He accepted extra roles such as mechanics, data analytics, droid programming and any other subject he had thought would've been useful in his role.]

Zeb said that while he did enjoy the opportunity, the life of an academic wasn't for him. The only reason why he had pushed himself so far in the university was to achieve being a leader of a team. To earn it.

Kallus picks up learning a couple new languages and after building up the courage, asked if Zeb would want, if he would be willing to teach Kallus Lasana. And Zeb is absolutely thrilled. Kallus was able to pick it up rather quickly and Zeb joked that he was a bit jealous because he still doesn't have a full grasp of Bacis. Kallus asked if he wanted supplements in some areas; he himself had acted well spoken his first year at the academy by mimicking his peers until he had a better grip of language arts. Zeb agreed and they spent much of their studies together practicing languages.

"Studies" being Kallus seeking Zeb out for conversation, nudging him on topics Kallus knows he enjoys so that Zeb will dump every bit of information about the topic. It had actually been one of the pushing factors Kallus had for building the courage to ask to be taught lasana. What zeb would tell Kallus was merely a fraction of the knowledge he held and Zeb sometimes would have to take longer trying to convey it. However, there were many times when Zeb would be so enraptured by talking about his interests that he would simply get much more passionate and switch over to lasana. And every time Kallus didn't understand a word of what was being said, but he felt such an immense, swallowing joy that took him out as he listened to Zeb in awe, basking in the man’s passion. The one time Zeb had realized he was rambling in his mother tongue, Kallus felt his chest shatter when Zeb opened his mouth to apologize, so the one time Kallus ever cuts Zeb off from speaking was then. When he asked if Zeb could teach him lasana. If Kallus could be allowed to learn such a thing.

By the time Zeb brought Kallus to Lira San, Kallus was fluent in Lasana. [Chava immediately started nagging Zeb about "marrying that boy before someone else snatches him up".] Kallus took any opportunity to visit the libraries on Lira San in his free time. One day, when he was reading, a kit trotted over to him and asked him if he could read a story book aloud. Kallus looked past the kit to see several others watching from around the corner in the sitting area. Kallus set his own book down and happily accepted. It became a monthly routine for him to read to the children at the library.

It didn't take long for them to seek him out for other things, such as running across him tending to the food forests or the botanical garden and ask him questions about what he's doing, what the plants are, what they grow into, "you're making baby plants? How?", "what's a agricultural?" / "what's a ambassador?" , "can I eat this?" , etc etc etc.

📚📚📚

Kallus had been working closely with the agricultural professors and experts of Lira San. He was ecstatic upon Zeb telling him that Lira San has an entire university dedicated to agriculture. And the professors were ecstatic to meet someone with so much new and different knowledge. They were eager to exchange such knowledge and try to convince him to join them on consults and conventions and farmer's markets. He was thrilled to.

And he loved seeing how much more open Zeb was around the other lasat, how his confidence grew. Kallus is in awe to be getting the chance to see Zeb take things on to his truest and fullest potential. He encourages his partner and supports him in every possible way. Sure, Zeb recieved praise and recognition for his battle and warrior capabilities in the rebellion. But only his family ever seemed to see him for every facet of his person. Kallus felt privileged to get to be Zeb’s friend, someone close to him, but he also loathed how Zeb would be treated when it took him extra time to verbalize his thoughts. Kallus loathed how Zeb wasn't called in more on areas he knew Zeb excelled in. And more than anything, Kallus loathed how many times Zeb was talked down to. Kallus would talk Zeb up, remind everyone of just how capable the Captain of the Honorguard is, past his training and strategies. In meetings, Kallus would reference Zeb and ask for a consult from him to be used in, and Hera always backed that. And if it wasn't Kallus asking for a consult, it was Hera, and, eventually, Sabine.

And people learned very quickly not to mistreat Zeb. Kallus sought out to that. At first, they just stopped doing it when Kallus was around. But people liked kallus, to some degree, and people liked Zeb even more, so word always got back to Kallus. Most of the time Kallus wouldn't bother with a physical altercation. He didn't want to cause extra trouble for Hera to have to rectify. He's more than capable of settling a fight with words. But there were a few who didn't catch Kallus’s severity or would insist on doubling down. Kallus never killed anyone, but he wasn't gentle either. As stated; eventually it was understood that no one mistreats Garazeb Orrelios. The same applied to the entire Ghost Crew.

That was then, however. This is now. And now, Kallus feels his heart melt as Zeb grows less and less hesitant, as he grows more and more bold.

Late Night Pride Post (T4T Billy and Cissie Edition)

Yo what up, I have overdue assignments and overdue fanfictions to post, but hear me out:

Captain Marvel is found out to be Billy Batson, twelve year old orphan kid from Fawcett city, AKA, the Champion of Magic, AKA, the kid who hid his age and identity from the JL for over four years. :D fun

Yeah the JL didn't like that. However, due to his position as one of the heaviest hitters on the League, and his good reputation, Billy was not kicked out from the JL, instead being put on a probationary/suspension period, where he would be observed by a JL member to oversee his ability to be a hero.

Who is it overseeing Billy's JL suspension, Y'all ask? Well, y'all gonna find out~

Now, cut to a week later

Cissie and Billy going out on a cute little date and having a nice time together.

Going on a picnic in the park, taking a lovely stroll through the city gardens to appreciate Cissie's flora knowledge, touring the museum district together to hear Billy go wild about the exhibits~ They're just two youngsters in love who are having a very nice first date <3

Nothing can go wrong~

...

Except it's the Batson luck to always have something go wrong.

Just as Cissie and Billy are touring through the museum district and enjoying a rest for a root beer float to share, a loud and whailing screech booms from down the street. The Shockwave sent rubble and debris flying through the air, sending Fawcett citizens running for their lives at this new attack on their city.

Wanting to check out the scene but also needing to protect Cissie, Billy grabbed hold of her hand with a blushing face and ran outside, needing to see just a glimpse of what he was going to be up against soon before he sent Cissie to safety.

It was just a second.

A split second before his stomach sank to hell and dread filled his heart.

Down the street he could see it....

The green glow of a power ring and the ginger hair of the one superhero he hated the most; Guy Gardner.

And oh yeah there was an alien monster there, too 😒

Of all days, of all the superheroes to bring a fight down into HIS city, it had to have been Guy Gardner during his first date with Cissie. Oh that was just fantastic! Billy just had a hunch that Guy steered the fight into Fawcett on purpose.

Unable to transform into Captain Marvel due to the crowd around him, Billy had to let Guy Gardner handle this fight with a grunt.

When the dust settled and the crowd cheered for the the Green Lantern, Billy tried to escape with Cissie to leave Guy behind, but as luck would have it, Billy ended up getting followed by the annoying man.

Now, Billy wasn't only getting irritating advice from the man about being a hero when he was Captain Marvel, no, NOW he was carrying a third wheel on his date 🙄 who was constantly trying to give Billy not so subtle dating advice (child version advice, but still embarrassing coming from an adult regardless).

Guy Gardner: Hey, kid! A foot apart from the girl. Don't get any funny ideas about holding hands on the first date, hahaha!

Billy: (*｀Д´)ノ！！！

Cissie thought it was funny.

Billy just wanted to punch Guy to the moon.

TLDR: Billy's first date with Cissie ends up interrupted by a hideous creature that came from space, and an alien, too.

Don't worry, in the end, Guy makes it up to Billy for embarrassing him on his first date and helps to impress Cissie with a little fly through the air for them both.

Rainy Day - World to Ourselves

Damie (Dani Clayton x Jamie Taylor - Victoria Pedretti & Amelia Eve) 

Summary: What if Bly just didn’t have ghosts? This is what it could look like if there were no ghosts to ruin things and Jamie and Dani got to continue dating while working at Bly.

TW: Smut

Read on Ao3

Here is the title song: World to Ourselves by The Coast

AN: Damie prompts and bits all AU. 

Word Count: 4,327

Imagine This:

Laughter echoed down the long hallway. Flora and Miles were full of energy and the rain outside did nothing to help the children release said energy. 

Dani sighed. The rain made her want to crawl back in bed for the day. She followed quickly behind the children. "Hey, no running down the stairs."

Both children slowed slightly as they spoke in unison. “Yes, Miss Clayton.” 

“Hey, you lot, where are you off to in such a hurry?” Jamie said as she closed the front door behind her.

Flora stopped, “Jamie! Oh, won’t you join us? We are going to play cards!”

Jamie smiled “I don’t know it seems like two gremlins who run down the stairs shouldn’t get the pleasure of playing games at all let alone with me.” Jamie looked up to meet Dani’s gaze. “What do you say Poppins should we play just the two of us to teach these gremlins to listen?” 

Dani chuckled as the kids pouted. 

"You know maybe you are right," Dani paused rubbing her chin, "or maybe we play in teams the two of us against the kids, and whoever loses cleans up the classroom?"

Jamie smirked at the idea of winning a game of cards against the two little gremlins and possibly sneaking away with Dani while they clean the classroom.

"Let's show 'em how it's done Poppins."

The children bolted towards the classroom. Dani let out a soft laugh at the children as she walked closer to Jamie.

"They are really full of it today. Must be the rain. Did you get everything ready for the storm?" 

Jamie reached out to the rambling blonde and pulled her close by the hand. 

"They are always full of it. Yes, ma'am, I did. Everything is all set for the storm. I'm sure I will still have plenty of damage to clean up if it's as bad as last time."

Dani smiled at her favorite broody Gardner.

"So, I get you the rest of the day?"

Jamie smirked and leaned in to plant a promising soft kiss on Dani's lips.

"The night as well, Poppins."

"Mmm. Are you staying the weekend?" 

“Might as well, my old truck is not the most reliable as you well know.”

Heat rushed to Dani’s cheeks at the memory of being stuck on the side of the road on the way back from the pub in town and Owen stumbling onto the pair making the best of their time alone in Jamie’s truck. Jamie has brought it up every chance she gets knowing full well how embarrassed Dani was and how red she gets when it’s brought up.

Jamie smirked at the memory of Owen flashing his light into the backseat only to see Dani straddling Jamie. Both of their hands occupied with each other as they made out like teenagers. Dani lightly elbowed Jamie in the ribs, “stop thinking about it!”

Jamie bit her bottom lip. “Why would I want to do that, Poppins?”

Dani rolled her eyes, “Jamie.”

“What?”

“You know, what. Now, we should go before the kids destroy the classroom.”  

Jamie smiled she knew exactly what and she loved every second of it. She pulled Dani closer yet again quickly kissing her before she could head towards the classroom. Dani quickly kissed her back and pulled away turning towards the classroom. Jamie bit her bottom lip as she followed wrapping her arms around the other woman’s hips as they walked making them both laugh. Jamie let go as they approached the classroom. 

The kids were already shuffling the cards all over the table giggling to themselves. She quickly pulled Dani’s chair out for her and settled next to her. 

“So, what game of cards are we playing? Poker?”

Flora let out a fit of laughter, “no, silly we are playing goldfish!”

“Oh, how silly of me, of course, we’re playing goldfish.”

Dani couldn’t help the way her heart swelled watching Jamie interact with the kids it was one of her favorite things to witness. 

The game took off rather quickly Jamie was unsurprisingly great at this game and was quickly winning. Miles let out a sigh as Jamie took yet another one of his cards. “This is so not fair!”

Jamie smirked. “It’s not my fault I’m so skilled.”

Dani glanced at her wristwatch. “Time’s up anyways looks like you two get to clean up in here.” 

Miles threw his cards to the table. “So not fair!” 

“Miles stop it we lost fair and square.”

Flora got up and quickly started cleaning up the cards on the table. “Come on Miles it’s our mess anyway. Plus, it is not that much.” 

Miles huffed but followed his sister’s lead and started to pick up miscellaneous books.

Jamie stood and put out her hand to help Dani up. “Let’s go check on dinner Poppins.”

Dani stood but stopped at the doorway. “Once you two are done in here go wash up for dinner.”

Flora smiled “Yes, Miss Clayton.”

Jamie didn’t wait for Miles to respond before pulling the hand in hers out the door and down the hall. Dani smiled as she let the brunette lead her into the old storage closet across the hall from the classroom. Jamie lightly pushed Dani against the door to close them into the dimly lit room. Their bodies pressed together and Jamie lightly trailed kisses up the soft neck she had mapped and memorized. She smirked against the most sensitive part as she felt Dani shudder under her touch. Dani sighed and let her head fall back to rest against the door. The soft kisses were a much-needed break from the day.

Jamie trailed up along the curve of her neck to her jaw and finally to her lips. Dani couldn’t stop her hands from traveling to the firm backside of the other woman. Jamie let a soft gasp leave her lips as she felt the blonde pull her closer. They both moved to deepen the kiss, but both jumped back at the loud sound of thunder cracking outside. 

"Jesus!"

"Actually, my name is Jamie but if you want to call me Jesus."

Jamie smirked that is until Dani lightly smacked her arm.

"Ouch! No need to get violent, Poppins."

Dani rolled her eyes "we should probably get back out there anyway." 

"Do we have to? I'd much rather just hide away in here with you the rest of this bloody rainy day."

"Really? In a storage closet?"

"Well, my flat would be preferred but since we are here at the moment it'll do." 

"What would we do on a rainy day like this in your flat?"

Jamie leaned forward and lightly brushed her lips over Dani’s neck, humming before she spoke. "Well, we'd have to keep warm as you know my flat is rather drafty, so I doubt we'd want to leave the bed. I would make us tea and we could listen to music and watch the rain hit the old windows. Maybe watch an old movie and cuddle or something."

"Or something?" Dani laughed, "that does sound rather nice actually." 

Jamie hummed her response into Dani's soft skin kissing up her neck yet again. Dani felt helpless to the buzzing heat and hummed a soft approval. Jamie moved her hands to the soft curve of Dani's hips. The brunette groaned at the limited contact. “Bloody clothes, why do you insist on tucking in your shirts, Poppins?” 

Dani couldn’t help but giggle, “specifically to torture you the way your overalls torture me.”

Dani moved her hands up Jamie’s toned abdomen and wrapped her fingers around the straps of said overalls pulling on them. 

Jamie quirked her eyebrows, “you love my overalls! Said so just this morning.”

Dani bit her bottom lip, “and you love that I tuck my shirts in if I do recall you said something along the lines of Poppins out to scandalize the village again.” 

Jamie quirked her lips and glanced away for a second recalling their teasing conversation this morning when they first greeted each other. She couldn’t deny the way she appreciated Dani’s wardrobe all her clothes fit her body just right highlighting some of Jamie’s favorite assets. 

Jamie’s thoughts were interrupted “Dinner’s ready!” Owens’s voice sounded from right outside the door the women were pressed against. 

Jamie jumped slightly at the sudden interruption she groaned as she let her head fall to the blonde’s shoulder. “Owen, you prat! One of these days you’re going to give us a heart attack?” 

Dani laughed as she pushed herself and the women still clinging to her away from the door to open it. Owen rolled his eyes as Jamie stared daggers at him. Dani gave Owen a small smile, “what’s for dinner?”

“Bangers and mash.”

“Why didn’t you say that in the first place?” Jamie said as she took off towards the kitchen. 

Dani and Owen shared a laugh as they chased after her. 

The comfort food was perfect for the rainy day and made dinner a rather quiet affair as everyone enjoyed the meal. The silence was broken only by the loud clap of thunder and heavy rain pelting the old windows. 

Hannah rubbed the back of her neck, “it’s getting rather bad out there.” 

Owen reached across the table and grabbed her free hand, “it’s alright, love.”

Hannah gave him a soft smile and squeezed his hand. She hated storms and he knew exactly how to comfort her. 

“Why are storms so dreadful?” Flora asked.

Jamie turned to the little munchkin who had settled in the seat next to her. “Storms are a part of the natural cycle of things they aren’t mean to be dreadful.”

Flora huffed “but they are loud and scary.”

“Think about it this way the flowers and trees need the rain to blossom and grow just like you need food to grow. How does old Owen tell us when food is ready?”

Flora smiled “he shouts it out.”

“Precisely, the thunder is just the clouds telling all the plants that it is time for some nutrients.”

Flora tilted her head to soak in Jamie’s words. “You are the smartest! I just wish the clouds didn’t have to be so loud.” 

Everyone at the table let out soft laughter at the sweet comment from Flora. Jamie lightly patted Flora’s hand on the table. “Thanks, kid. If ever the clouds get too loud for ya, you can always come to me.”

Flora beamed at Jamie giving her a wide grin that reached her eyes, “you’re the coolest!”

Dani was melting in her seat on the other side of Jamie. The Gardner was so guarded and hard around the edges but also so incredibly soft and kind. It filled the Au Pair’s heart with love. She was happy that dinner was almost over and soon she would have Jamie all to herself. 

Miles and Flora got to play while the grown-ups cleaned up dinner. Then it was off to bed.  

Finally, after a bit of an extra struggle from Flora Dani was able to wander into her room. 

Jamie was waiting for her there sprawled out on the bed lounging like it was her bed, not Dani's. 

Dani couldn't help but smile at the smirk on the brunette's face. "Someone looks comfy." 

"And someone else looks entirely overdressed."

"Is that so?"

Jamie nodded and quickly stood up. "I could help you with these pesky clothes."

Jamie reached out, smoothing her slender fingers over the thin pink shirt collar. Her hand then trailed down Dani's chest and abdomen. She grabbed at the extra fabric sticking out of the light blue jeans and tugged but the material didn't budge. Dani's pants were too tight, so she moved lower to unhook the belt and undo the button and zipper. Soon Jamie had Dani's long porcelain legs free. 

Dani was helplessly watching the way her girlfriend's eyes became dark and the way she trapped her bottom lip between her teeth as she drank in Dani's exposed skin. 

It sent heat pooling to her core. Jamie knew what she was doing but Dani also knew what she was doing. At this point, they had both learned quite a lot about each other. Her hand wrapped around the tan freckled wrist and long fingers moved to control the firm hand leading it to the incredibly warm and wet cotton between soft thighs. 

Jamie sucked in a breath at the contact her breath then caught in her throat as her fingers were pulled up to pink lips and pulled in to be sucked. Dani pushed herself to keep eye contact this was a new thing she learned that Jamie enjoyed and fuck if she was going to let her nerves make her miss the way Jamie’s eyes darken. 

They shared a quiet moan and before Dani could blink Jamie was pulling her in for a searing kiss. Her tongue slid in as Dani gasped. Their bodies pressed impossibly close, and hands searched out skin shedding away the remaining articles of clothing. 

They fell in a tangled mess of limbs to the bed and Dani smirked as she was fastest to secure being on top. She straddled the tan, toned, and freckled abdomen of the Gardner sighing with relief as her sensitive core made contact with the heated skin. 

“Fuck, Poppins!”

Jamie could feel how hot and bothered she had made her girlfriend and it drove her nuts that the proof was dripping on her abs and not her tongue. She didn’t get the chance to voice her thoughts as Dani couldn’t wait any longer and started to grind her hips down creating blissful friction for the blonde but sweet agony for the brunette. 

Dani could feel the firm grip on her hips tighten as she moved, she knew that when she took what she wanted it drove Jamie wild, and she could feel the excitement building in anticipation of how Jamie would take control. 

Jamie pulled the blonde by the hips encouraging her to grind down harder and faster until she had to throw her head back at the pleasure. Jamie was quick to take advantage of her girlfriend’s distracted state to pull the woman up her body. She scooted down quickly as she felt Dani stiffen in her hands.

“Jamie, what are you- Oh!”

Jamie didn’t give Dani time to figure it out and pushed forward sinking her tongue through slick folds. Dani shuttered at the contact this was a new way for them to do this and it felt different the angle was making her body tremble and Jamie had just started. One hand grabbed at the headboard to steady herself and one hand tangled into chestnut curls. Jamie slowly pressed the blonde’s hips bringing what she wanted closer.

Jamie couldn’t suppress her needy moans at the flavor she had grown addicted to. This caused the blonde to squeeze her thighs closer her body trembled at the vibrations that ran right up her. Jamie continued to stroke her tongue through the folds flicking the tip of her tongue over the bundle of nerves that was already swollen and begging for attention. She dipped her tongue just a few inches into the tight ring of muscles and had to move her hands to help steady Dani. 

Dani was fighting a growing desire to rock her hips. She moved both her hands to grip the headboard until her knuckles were white. Jamie could tell she would have to encourage her girlfriend and quickly moved her hands one keeping the blonde steady and the other sliding between the thighs that surrounded her. Her mouth surrounded Dani’s clit as she pressed two fingers into her tight entrance. Dani let Jamie’s name fall from her lips in a whispered scream. 

Dani felt the trembles of her body straining to stay still turn to more intense shakes. Jamie sucked the bundle of nerves lightly as she pulled on the hip in her hand trying to encourage her girlfriend to grind down. 

Dani’s eyes flew open, and her gaze fell to question the woman below her. Jamie held eye contact as she encouraged Dani to move her hips again. She hummed into Dani’s hot pulsing skin as she felt the blonde rock her hips lightly against her needy mouth. 

Soon the room was filled with hot panting breaths and soft hushed moans. Jamie moved her fingers to the rhythm Dani rocked her hips and sucked and flicked her tongue over her clit. Dani trembled her orgasm was building much too quickly for her liking. Jamie however was desperate to push the blonde over the edge her craving was not being satisfied nearly enough. 

Jamie tightened her grip on the pale hip in her hand as she sucked Dani’s clit harder and pressed her fingers in making sure to apply pressure to the soft spot, she knew would give her what she wanted. 

Dani could feel the familiar tightening in her core and before she could try to keep it from happening her walls clenched and began to contract around Jamie’s fingers. Her body tensed as her climax washed over her entire body making her moan Jamie’s name like a prayer. 

Jamie moaned into her girlfriend as she felt her tense and contract around her. She let Dani ride it out for a bit but couldn’t wait any longer and quickly slipped her fingers out of Dani making her gasp but before Dani could react more Jamie’s tongue dived as deep as it could go into the still pulsing core. Dani’s hips instantly responded to the contact. Her hands sunk into Jamie’s hair and tugged at it as she rocked her hips allowing Jamie to continue her needy exploration. Jamie collected everything she could. She quickly got lost in the taste and the tight muscles that pulled her in. 

Dani couldn’t stop her hips if she wanted to, but she didn’t want any such thing. Another orgasm was quickly approaching, and it made her head spin she hadn’t even come down from the first. Jamie could feel her own core flutter around nothing. She was sure she was dripping by now and the moans that fell from Dani’s lips had her closer than she should be from not even being touched. 

They were both done in by the needy grind of Dani’s hips that finally lost all control and ground down seeking as much of Jamie as possible. Jamie felt her own walls clench as Dani’s did around her tongue. She moaned into the feeling. Her core contracted around nothing making her rock her hips. Dani filled her mouth with more sweetness than the first time and she couldn’t help but lap it up like she hadn’t had water in years, and she needed every drop. 

Dani was seeing stars and trembling her legs were too weak she couldn’t hold herself up much longer. She felt Jamie buck her own hips and slumped over for a second before she felt Jamie continue her assault. 

“Jamie!”

She tugged the hair that was still in her hands and shakily pulled herself away from the needy mouth below her. The harsh separation caused a slight pop as Jamie’s head followed the retreating motion and continued to suck until Dani managed to lift and back up to be out of her girlfriend’s reach. A needy whine left Jamie’s lips as she lost contact. 

“Dani” Jamie whined. 

Dani collapsed onto Jamie the second she settled her hips back down on firm abs. “Fuck, Jamie” Dani panted.

Jamie licked her lips as Dani lifted her head and gazed at her with wonder. She quickly pulled the blonde closer to connect their lips. The only thing better than sinking into the flavor of Dani’s pleasure was having the taste linger on her lips while she tasted the sweetness of her lover’s lips as well. Jamie pulled away only slightly, “you taste so good, Poppins. I can never get enough.”

Dani felt the heat rise to the tips of her ears. “I thought I was going to pass out.” 

Jamie smirked. Dani lightly pinched her side “don’t you smirk like that it isn’t very fair. I feel exhausted now and I didn’t even get to make you feel good.”

Jamie stifled her laugh trying not to be too loud but soft laughter fell from her lips unstoppable at the pouty look on her girlfriend’s face.

“It’s not funny, Jamie. My legs are still trembling, and I feel like jelly.”

Jamie stifled her laughter. “Poppins you made me feel amazing without even touching me.”

Dani’s eyes widened “really?”

Jamie nodded “it’s not often but God Dani, the way you taste and feel, and your perfect fucking legs tightly pressed around me just all of you had me Cumming so hard I can feel it on my thighs.”

Dani looked down between them managing to lift her body for a second to move one of her thighs between Jamie’s. 

“Oh wow, Jamie.”

Jamie couldn’t help but sigh at the contact. Dani bit her bottom lip her desire to get more sighs from Jamie was growing. She moved to try and get on her knees, but her arms and legs began to shake as soon as she was supporting her own weight. 

Jamie could see how frustrated her girlfriend was and decided to cut her some slack and quickly rolled them over. She straddled one of Dani’s thighs and let another sigh leave her lips at the pressure. Dani quickly moved to try and put her hands on Jamie’s thighs, but Jamie shook her head and brushed them away. 

“Sit back and enjoy the show Poppins.”

Dani went to protest but Jamie placed a finger over her lips. “Watch what you do to me, Dani.”

Jamie didn’t wait another second before she moved her hips gliding her wet heat over the firm and incredibly soft thigh under her. She threw her head back as she adjusted so she could rock her hips better and to make sure her flexed abdomen was on full display for Dani. 

Dani felt her heart pound in her chest racing as heat filled her body head to toe. Her own core was still sensitive and just the motion of Jamie’s hips was sending sparks of pleasure through her. Dani licked her lips as she watched Jamie’s muscles flex and move with her hips. She wanted to taste every inch of the tan freckled skin on display just for her.

Jamie was lost in the motion of her own hips. She was so worked up she knew it wouldn’t take long or much effort to get off. She shuddered as she heard Dani groan and moan under her. 

Dani could feel just how soaked Jamie was and could feel her own heat start to drip. Her hips bucked up before she could stop herself and a filthy moan left her lips as she felt her center brush against Jamie’s. 

“Fuck, Dani!”

Jamie’s gaze shot to look down at the wet contact of Dani grinding against her.

“S-sorry, I-I can’t help it.”

“Please never apologize for that! God Dani.”

Jamie leaned down to press their lips together in a quick but heated kiss. She then adjusted her weight and pressed closer as close. Her thigh pressed harder into Dani causing them both to gasp at the contact. 

Dani rocked her hips as Jamie continued to rock her own. The feeling of Jamie soaking her thigh and her own heat coating Jamie’s made her moan. This too was a new way for them to explore each other and it was incredible. 

They could both watch and feel how much pleasure the other was having, and they were practically a puddle at this point. Moans filled the room as hips moved in sync and a soft wet sound surrounded them as they moved against each other. 

The brunette had to lean over the blonde as her orgasm approached. Dani’s gaze was locked at the motion between them she was amazed this could feel so good, but she wasn’t surprised everything with Jamie felt amazing more amazing than she’d ever felt before in her life and she was addicted.

Jamie’s gaze was soaking in the pleasure written across Dani’s face. She shuddered as Dani looked up at her the blue of her eyes dominated by her blown pupils. Jamie felt the first coil and then the pulsing contractions at the look in Dani’s gaze. Dani trembled as Jamie starred at her. 

Both their hips become more erratic chasing the high. Their hips faltered as their orgasms washed over them with shaking limbs and soft moans and panted breaths against heated skin. 

Jamie collapsed onto Dani and twitched as their bodies touched more fully. Dani let her legs fall flat and groaned at the wet heat that covered her thighs. 

Jamie kissed Dani’s neck “Sorry, Love. We made a bit of a mess. Give me a sec and I’ll clean us up.”

Dani moved to capture Jamie in a loving kiss that was soft and slow and incredibly tender. It could have lasted hours for all they cared they fell into it with their blissed minds until they both gently pulled back to brush each other’s noses.

Jamie slowly rolled off Dani and moved to stand on her legs which were still kind of shaky. Before she could collapse back onto the bed Dani was behind her wrapping her arms around her waist. Dani kissed the scar on Jamie’s shoulder, and they slowly made their way to the on-suite bathroom. They took turns preparing for bed before retiring back to the bed where they quickly tangled into a mess of limbs cuddled as close as possible as the chill of the night finally surrounded them.

The rain outside had gone unnoticed while they had been caught up in each other but now it was lulling them both to sleep. 

“Goodnight, Jamie.”

“Night, Poppins.”

Feels Like Magic: Winx Rewrite World Info Part 2.

Next up for world lore! Names!

The reason a lot of magicals have names that coincide with their powers is because parents name their children after something they hope they get the magic for. It's basically a way of asking Magic itself to bless your child with magic of their own.

It's a tradition that has gone on and on through the beginning of times on Flaemterna.

There are parents who give their children ordinary names as they don't mind if their child gets magic or not. If they do, wonderful, if they don't, that's fine too! There are many things those with magic can do.

Another thing about names is middle names. Back in the Ancient and Medieval Magical Times, those with any kind of noble blood had middle names, and it was tradition that any child they had also got middle names. It was done to show others that you were worthy of being gifted magic twice because you had two names and two times the chance of Magic blessing you and your children.

This practice fell out in the more modern times, and it became a trend of anyone and everyone getting to have middle names no matter if they were or are of noble blood.

You may have noticed that some of the girls have middle names so I'll explain whether this was done because of blood or because of trend.

• Bloom, of course, has a middle name because she is a High Princess. She actually has two! Because Mike and Vanessa didn't want to change her name, but they wanted to at least give her a name they picked. Thus, she was given the middle name Allison by Mike and Vanessa. Many of the older generations think this helped play a part in why she is so powerful. If you missed it in the redesigns, here is her full name: Bloom Allison Charlotte Gardner-Feniatare.

•Stella, is another with a middle name because of her royal blood as a High Princess herself. Her full name is Stella Celeste Solevega, and when her parents divorced, she hyphenated her last name to Stella Celeste Solevega-Aylandra.

•Flora has a middle name, even though her family hasn't been part of the nobility for a long time. Some of her ancestors were Dukes and Duchesses, but her family renounced their nobility so that their children and children's children could choose whatever occupation they wanted without it looking disgraceful for someone of their position. Even though her family is no longer nobility, they still get respect from other nobles because they weren't disgraced or anything like that. Many admired the "sacrifce". I'll make another post purely about each girl's family history, but this is a bit of it. Flora's full name is Flora Carmen Thorngrove.

•Musa, she does not have a middle name, though she is nobility, but because her dad ran away to marry her mother, her father was disowned though it was he who gave away his claim to the throne. To show he was no longer nobility, Ho-Boe took out his middle name from his name and refused to give Musa one. So her full name is Musa Lu-Maestri.

•Tecna, though in the comics and show she is a princess, she is not in my rewrite. She is a normal citizen of Zenith who ends up bringing her family into a position of nobility because of her having magic despite her having an artificial heart. Others who had needed artificial hearts ended up not having magic, but Tecna was an abnormality. It fascinated the High Kingdom Royalty to the point that she and her family were given higher positions in the kingdom. Even though she is mow considered nobility, she still does not have a middle name since her parents didn't think it was necessary. So her full name is Tecna Synthwave.

For this post, I'm only doing season one characters I have already done redesigns for. So next is the Trix.

•Icy, she actually does have noble blood in her, but her family ended up losing their titles in disgrace. She doesn't know why as it's a secret her family has held on to for decades. Though they are disgraced, she was still given a middle name. Her full name is Icelyn Eira Bélaboreas.

•Darcy, she is low nobility. Her family has only ever been Lords and Ladies, though they did desire to become more. It just never happened. Her full name is Darcelle Belladonna Blackwell.

•Stormy is not nobility, but she does have a nickname as her family jumped on the trend. Her full name is Stormella Corentine Burzyński.

Echoes of Bly Manor: Jamie's Solitude

Summary:

Jamie is looking to escape her current life at which she she finds peace at Bly Manor. Surrounded by nature, she reflects on her past, cherishes the serene environment, and reconnects with cherished memories of the manor and its mysterious beauty.

Notes:

Relationships:

Dani Clayton x Jamie Taylor, Dani Clayton & Jamie Taylor

Jamie’s plan is crystal clear to escape the hustle and bustle of her current life and move back to a calm and serene side in a quiet time in the countryside. A place which is close to her heart and helps her to relax and in a calm and serene environment. The house- Bly manor is surrounded by bounties of nature, tall mountains, deep dark forest and a peaceful river. The great Statue Garden has left a mark in which the gardener has carried with her since she first met them. The mystery behind these Statue Garden had always seemed to leave her baffled and speechless. The trees that surrounded that and the property had provided a great comfort to her after the penitentiary, which she could not describe at the time. Jamie always had a vivid imagination, in the time she was sad her imagination roamed. Feeling the loss and pain harbored by the world around her; as the sun falls on her soul the world is cast in a dull light. If no one knows the burden of sorrow at least the rain will cry with her, and the wind will wipe the tears away. But she has found that even the smallest bit of happiness is much, much sweeter in light of life’s tragedy, and tears well up in times of joy as well as sadness — it is death in contrast with life which brings beauty into the world.

At one point, she and her brother had camped in the valley near her house, during which her brother and her had resolved that some day she would go up the river that ran through the campground as far as she could in a single day, in an attempt to find solitude. She does hesitate to share the name of Bly with her brother now, because it is after all a secret place. And yet, there are few rivers in the valley as mighty as this one, and anyone can perhaps easily guess its name. Even in the dry season the river had flowed strongly for millennia, cutting a deep canyon out of the hills which ran east for many miles. It roared with laughter as it stumbled and fell over the rocks and pools beneath its many falls — only to bounce back up again like a child who in the midst of its play had immediately forgotten the pain of its fall.

This river was the source of life in the campground and surrounding woods, its life giving powers were to be outdone only by the heavy coastal rains which fuel it. But there isn’t much rain in the summer, and it is at this time in Bly. Jamie had woken up early to make the trip up the river barefoot, carrying only bottles of water. It made for a marvelous adventure, as she forever chased the unknown treasures around each bend and over each of the flora present near the river. She would often walk around the perimeter of Bly, circling the property, while viewing each and every minute detail of the place, from the chapel to the Wingrave family plot and her very own special garden, carefully taking care to not disrupt the flora that hung perilously before their thunderous faces. The greenhouse provided comfort to her, anything about gardening, she loved the care and nurture you put into it and the plant, always reciprocating the love and care it gets. She found it better than humans, no one would treat her badly or wake up to hurt her someday.

The many banyan trees with their prop roots and river had proved interesting to her — She couldn’t help but think of the previous gardner, who had fallen to given her a seat high off the ground, and who was in the process of giving back the strength which he had drawn out of the deep wells of the earth for so many years, perhaps centuries. The greenhouse were much the same, as the mighty trees which hung over the river would die, they would fall and become jammed in-between boulders, creating dams which raised the water level to the roots of their offspring, who rose joyously out of the deep canyons to catch the warm rays of the sun. The trees are not greedy. They only glean from the earth and the sky what they can, and then fall back to give more than they took to start. It was under their shade that she watched Flora and Miles play in as they swam, hiked and climbed, a few miles up river, till sun down, she watched alone from the depths of the woods, the river bearing on its back like a wild horse. The towering cliffs bled cold spring water, and most of their granite faces were covered in hanging moss and fern, brilliantly green and bold. An outsider might have thought the place looked odd and boring but it was much more than that, the voices echoing in the halls of the temple of the giants, as the disturbed the bed of the river and clung to the sun-warmed rocks by its sides.

But Jamie had never felt alien at all. Rather, she felt very much at home and welcome, although she was tired. And therein lies the heart of the mystery. She used to live her life blinded by the thought of just surviving, constantly worrying about her mother and wondering if her dad would come back. However she now believed that in the absence of nature we too easily forget who we are. The Manor is a home to us older than our houses, or houses in general. And if someone can see through the clouds of mosquitoes, and manage to peer into the dark shroud beneath the thick of the forest, you may find something very much welcoming and wonderful, if you have eyes — and the heart for it. Jamie hopes never to forget Bly Manor. The air seemed to plunge forever upward into the sky, like the chains of many anchors might plunge into the sea. There is a treasure deep in the river, and she wishes to be forever in the river, but the ghost of her lover is all that remains on the ground.

Little details I noticed in the Owl house Finale epilogue sequence (Spoilers ahead!)

not Dana terrace adding her fucking signature in the show 😭😭😭😭❤️. Like she’s legitimately giving Luz and Award.

BRO ITS THE SAME COVEN KID! Like it’s so freaking symbolic and full circle that this was the kid shown and used as an Example when Eda was explaining how Sigils seal away all your other magic. And that now he’s the one being used as an example for removing the sigils once and for all. It’s so fucking full circle and I love it

Notes by Lilith :

Top Middle : Note to self : Must write to flora to show off 🥴

(Yesss chbedjsj our Lilly is still wants to prove Flora wrong.)

Top right : Hall of titan reasearch

(that would be so cool considering the huge ass plot holes surrounding the Titans and why Kings dad didn’t just come back to the boiling isles like Luz did 💀)

bottom middle : Hooty is the curator.

I have to share a little of my burgeoning cottagecore life (that doesn't include nªzi ideals, fuck white supremacy). Last weekend I was doing some work in the yard and finally got a chance to pull out my plant ID app. I took a photo of this, frankly, angry looking weed that proliferates my green spaces. I like weeds and wildflowers. They tell me a LOT about the land, but I'm just not familiar with the flora here. Yet. It is called Carolina Horsenettle. I only looked it up when I did because I saw the fruit on a plant my partner stepped on. I recognized the fruit from that family. It is a nightshade, a deadly one. *surprised Pikachu face* For half of my life now, 20+ years, I have longed to find a nightshade in the wild. Now, I have so, so many.

More importantly, though, this solves another problem. Tomato worms. As I was cooing over the large patch of the nightshade in the middle of my yard, my partner points out 'one of those worms'. We found a big monchy boi monching on the leaves of one of them. For those who may not know, tomatoes are also a nightshade.

This means I can transfer the monchy bois from my veggies to a natural food source instead of having to kill them or spray my plants with some poison or another (not that I'm opposed).

As a lifelong gardner, I've learned that if I provide adequate food for the fauna, they leave my food alone. If I can find a natural source, we're both better off. I don't have a photo of a happy monchy boi, but please feast your eyes on my angry plant.

Blog 2: We Must Role On

Howard Gardner noted ‘Naturalistic’ personality as one of the newer personalities in their book: “Frames of Mind: "The Theory of Multiple Intelligences”. This personality endears to nature activities such as flora/fauna identification, going on nature walks, etc. While reading this week’s textbook readings, I found myself resonating with the Naturalistic personality. When I read this week’s blog prompt, I immediately recalled my ideal role of an environmental interpreter being a naturalist.

Before last summer, I did not even know that naturalist was a profession. While staying at the Algonquin Wildlife Research Station at Algonquin Park, I was able to meet Peter, the Interim Chief Naturalist at the provincial park who happened to be living at the research station. His knowledge of Algonquin Park’s flora and fauna was vast. Whenever, we would ask him questions, he would give vivid directions. I remember when I was searching for garter snakes, he gave me directions to a good spot for snakes on the way to Rock Lake but the way he described it was very vivid. He used visual cues, saying, “After you pass the giant boulder, around the bend, you will see a huge opening on the right that slopes up with multiple rocks scattered throughout”. When I got to the snake site, I was able to immediately identify it as I traced the visual cues he gave me in my head and confirmed it while on the road there. He also gave us great advice and historical information when describing specific locations at the park.

Peter in his natural element; the Visitor Centre

A Naturalist like Peter is who I would strive to be as an environmental interpreter, as he always captivated the audience and gave great, thoughtful information. His role as a naturalist entailed running the visitors center, giving guided talks and hikes, hosting informational events, answering, and guiding researchers’ questions regarding ideal study site locations, and working with the park rangers. However, unlike Peter, I would like to be a naturalist somewhere in Asia, ideally Nepal, where much of nature is still unexplored and understudied due to the danger that forests of most Asian countries present. Asia faces an increasing rise in human-nature conflicts due to the rapid urbanization of the continent so the need for environmental education is prevalent.

A naturalist needs to be able to capture the attention of the audience, so they need to be charismatic and talkative. They also need to be good listeners and welcoming as not everyone knows about nature as much as the naturalist themselves. They need to be able to imaginative with the ability to tell vivid stories and historical information without boring the audience. One of the two key skills for a naturalist is physicality, a naturalist needs to be active, going on hikes, steering a canoe, swimming, etc. The other key skill would be the ability to enjoy nature. A naturalist cannot spend their time on their phone, social media, or playing games. Parks like Algonquin require a naturalist to live with other naturalists or in a small cabin with limited wifi capabilities or if you were like me while at the research station, no cell service either.

Hob Gadling is definitely the type of person to be enthusiastic about gardening. Volunteers at the local community garden in his spare time, takes pride in teaching others how to forage, about native flora and what is edible and what’s not. Has intense discussions with others about the right mix of fertilisers and soils. Talks to his plants because he read that it can help them to grow and even if it’s not true, nothing wrong with giving them a little encouragement. Marvels at every single successful fruit, vegetable and flower he has cultivated. Certified Gardner

✧.* { hunter schafer & twenty6 } is that sasha gilbert from the future ? woah, they’re jeremy & nadia’s (adopted) kid, right ? maybe that’s why they are a new local to mckinley. i’ve heard they can be pretty capricious. how typical for a dryad. i guess they must rely on their intuitive side shining through. rumor has it they’re trying to hide that she’s using her emotional powers for profit, but that’s probably just noise… 

lil stats !

full name: sasha elle gilbert. nicknames: sash. gender: trans woman. pronouns:  she/her. sexuality: bisexual. parents: jeremy gilbert & nadia petrova ( adopted ) siblings: katalina petrova-gilbert traits: capricious, intuitive, heartfelt & stubborn. species: dryad

lil bio !

     no one really knows who sasha came from. one day there was a foreign plant growing on young ranch. after being tended to for a few months, within a rather large leaf, there she was inside it. jeremy and nadia took the little one in and raised her as their own. after a bit of research it was clear that she was a dryad. her powers made things difficult for her younger years

     the chlorokinesis was a cake walk compared to the rest. when she was happy and light there were always things blooming in her wake, she would spend lots of time among the flora, feeling at one with it. the emotional aspect of her powers was the tricky part. as a child she was most susceptible to other people’s emotions. being able to pick up on them, in certain situations she couldn’t tell her emotions from others, succumbing to others’ while also imposing hers on them.

     after the parents were put to sleep was the worst of it, so many emotions flying around, so much pain from loss, and her young mind unable to really grasp the scenario, she had a hard time. as time past and she grew up, sasha was able to get a handle on it. being able to see herself and her feelings separate from others. she turned her focus to her plant powers. growing things vital to the community.

     here in the past sasha still isn’t sure how she feels, not sure if she wants to share her identity with her parents, afraid the emotional toll will be tough on her and her powers. that being said with all the heightened emotions she is beginning to feel the need to use her emotional powers more often in hopes to keep control of them, afraid if she hides it away she’ll lose complete control of it.

     currently she’s a gardner and florist at a greenhouse on the outskirts of mckinley keeping her distance from everything. she’s also running a lowkey emotional manipulation business. all from willing and consenting participants who are ready to feel something different than what’s plaguing them.
