#Hijack march madness 2019

[hijack-week]

Hijack March Madness!!

March madness is right around the corner everyone! This years theme: AU’s and Aesthetics! Each day will be given both an AU and an Aesthetic, we will try to have them related and in some cases they will both have the same title. For example one day may have the Vampire Au and the Gothic Aesthetic, but another day may have Victorian for both the AU and the Aesthetic.  We are looking for suggestions for both! Please specify which you want your suggestion to apply to, or if you want it to apply to both. We will be taking suggestions until Monday night! Hope to hear from you!

Day 22 College

Jack woke up after a college party to find a stranger in his bed

[bluejevergade]

Free day - If you throw that snowball, you're declaring war

Hiccup savait, dès qu'il s'était levé, qu'il allait regretter cette journée.

Il neigeait. Et qui disait neige disait :

-Hiccup ! On va dehors ?

Son petit ami et bientôt première source d'emmerdes l'avait regardé avec des étoiles dans les yeux. Et Hiccup, bien qu'il sache qu'il faisait une erreur monumentale, accepta. Il spécifia néanmoins qu'ils devaient prendre leur petit déjeuné avant.

Il adorait Jack. Vraiment. Mais il avait un rapport avec l'hiver… Particulier. La plupart des gens préféraient l'été, le printemps, ou l'automne. Mais lui, c'était l'hiver. Avec les chocolats chauds au bord de la cheminée, le givre sur les fenêtres et la neige. Hiccup était persuadé que s'il avait pu, il aurait épousé de la neige.

Quand ils finirent leur petit déjeuné, Hiccup rangea alors que Jack se ruait dehors. Quand il eut fini la vaisselle du petit déjeuné, le mécanicien le suivit dehors. Et même s'il savait que ça allait bientôt dégénérer, il en profita pour admirer la vue. Jack était un adulte, mais ne cessait de s'émerveiller comme un enfant dès qu'il neigeait et Hiccup ne pouvait que le regarder faire avec un petit sourire.

Puis Jack profita du fait qu'il était perdu dans ses pensées pour préparer des boules de neige en prévision d'une bataille. Hiccup sortit de ses rêveries et le regarda faire. Sa première solution fut la fuite.

-Bon, je rentre, j'ai du boulot à préparer pour demain.

-Hiccup…

-Non.

-Chéri…

-Jack, si jamais tu lances cette boule de neige…

Il la reçut en plein visage.

-Okay, tu veux la guerre…

Une bataille acharnée s'engagea à coup de bataille de boules de neige. Bientôt, les gamins du quartier se joignirent à eux. Ils organisèrent les troupes, planifièrent des attaques chacun de leur côté avec leur équipe. Puis la lutte commença.

Bien vite des boules fusèrent de tous les côtés. Hiccup en reçut plusieurs en pleine tête, mais ne s'arrêta pas pour autant. Il y en même une qui se fraya un chemin dans son T-Shirt, et il était persuadé que c'était le jeune Jamie Benett. Il était dans son équipe mais il était très ami avec Jack, alors c'était probablement un agent infiltré du camp adverse. Et vers dix heures, les parents des maisons alentour sonnèrent le glas de la bataille et appelèrent les enfants. Quand il ne resta plus qu'Hiccup et Jack, ils se regardèrent.

-Alors, tu cèdes ? Demanda fièrement Jack.

-Jamais !

Une lutte sans merci commença alors entre les deux adultes. Ils luttèrent un moment avant que Jack ne finisse inévitablement par prendre le dessus. Et quand Hiccup se retrouva allongé dehors, en T-Shirt et pantalon de pyjama, complètement trempé, avec son petit ami au-dessus, il se rappela pour il ne voulait pas sortir, aujourd'hui.

-Et maintenant ? Demanda Jack, victorieux.

-Maintenant, je me rends.

Jack sourit et se leva, et l'aida à se relever. Ils rentrèrent et Hiccup se dirigea vers la salle de bain. Il enleva son pyjama trempé et rentra dans la douche. Il en prit une bien longue et bien chaude et quand il en sortit, il trouva son petit ami, changé, dans le canapé en train de contempler la cheminée.

-Je t'ai fait un chocolat chaud, lui dit-il.

Hiccup sourit et s'assit à côté de lui. Il prit la tasse et la dégusta.

-C'était toi, la boule de neige dans le T-Shirt ?

-Je ne dévoilerais pas mes plans stratégiques.

-Ça veut dire oui.

Jack se contenant de sourire et bu son chocolat. Quand il finit sa tasse, il la posa sur la table basse et posa sa tête contre l'épaule d'Hiccup. Hiccup sourit en le voyant faire.

Finalement, il aimait bien l'hiver, lui aussi.

Was the coronavirus made in a Wuhan lab? Here’s what the genetic evidence shows

The coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2, which was isolated from a COVID-19 patient in the U.S. Scientists say there’s no evidence to support the idea that the virus escaped from a Chinese laboratory. (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases)

Like the virus whose origin it purports to explain, the following conjecture refuses to die: The novel coronavirus was cooked up in a Chinese lab and either escaped or was intentionally released.

It’s a claim without the support of any publicly available evidence. It implies that tight-lipped members of a large and malign network colluded to engineer the COVID-19 pandemic or to cover up an accident that caused it.

The story has all the earmarks of a conspiracy theory. And it has drawn support from the highest levels of the U.S. government.

By contrast, strong and widely available evidence supports a very different hypothesis about the virus’s origins: It evolved naturally.

Laboratory releases of dangerous viruses are not unheard of. In 2003, for instance, the virus responsible for SARS sickened a graduate student who worked in a Singapore lab a few months after the outbreak had ended there.

But there is nothing to indicate a similar breach touched off the current pandemic.

Scientists believe the direct ancestor of the coronavirus now known as SARS-CoV-2 has lived for so long in bats and other animals that it is no longer capable of making them sick. At some point near the end of 2019, the virus’s genetic code mutated in a way that allowed it to jump from its animal “reservoir” to its first human host.

At the time that leap was made, the virus had recently developed — or soon would develop — the ability to spread easily from human to human. The result is a global pandemic that has sickened at least 3.9 million people and caused more than 274,000 deaths.

Scientists cite several layers of evidence to support their surmises. Though they acknowledge gaps where further research would strengthen their position or shift their reading of the exact path the virus has taken, they are firm on where the evidence ultimately leads.

Here’s how a team of biologists, infectious disease researchers and biosecurity experts put it in a report published in the journal Nature Medicine: “We do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”

Story continues

To reach that conclusion, the authors drew on research that compared the genetic signatures of three sets of viral samples. The first were drawn from Chinese patients who became sick late last year with unexplained pneumonia; the second came from bats living near Wuhan, China, and which were sometimes brought to an open-air market for sale; and the third was from pangolins, mongoose-like animals from Malaysia that were known to have been illegally imported into China.

The analysis revealed a direct family relationship among the three. Bats were the likely origin of the coronavirus that appeared in Wuhan patients, but the virus neededed to undergo some key genetic shifts to infect humans. Mysteriously, many of the required changes were found in the more distantly related viruses from pangolins.

With an improbable amount of luck, a coronavirus might take on the mutations needed to infect humans while being cultured in a lab, the researchers conceded. More likely, nature simply made that jump once in the pangolin, and somewhere in the vast diversity of unsampled bat species, it appears to have done so again.

Meanwhile, other researchers who sifted through the genetic sequences of dozens of preserved viral samples found that the new coronavirus is a distant cousin of the coronavirus that caused the SARS outbreak of 2002 and 2003, and the coronavirus that gave rise to MERS in 2009. The virus responsible for COVID-19 has distinctive features that separate it from its predecessors by many, many generations, according to their report in the Journal of Virology.

But none of the genetic mutations looked like ones a scientific genius would engineer in a lab to tweak a virus for better performance, the researchers wrote. Instead, they have all the hallmarks of the gradual accretion of changes that occur over time as a virus encounters new environments and the immune systems of new organisms.

In other words, SARS-CoV-2 looks like a virus that has evolved, the team wrote.

Still other researchers examined the nearly 30,000 pairs of RNA letters in the virus’s genome and located the juncture where a mutation most likely changed its anatomical features.

The authors of the analysis in Nature Microbiology offered plausible natural circumstances to explain how it would have happened. For instance, they cited research showing that when chickens were repeatedly exposed to a harmless virus from swans, the virus developed mutations that made it capable of killing every chicken it infected.

They cited lab experiments to show how the virus’s changing shape would have allowed the organism to latch onto, infect and hijack human cells.

They detected biological strategies the virus had adopted that enabled it to spread from host to host — but just barely. The mechanism looked a lot more like the kind of hack that would evolve naturally in a coronavirus, not like the optimal solution a genetic engineer would choose.

And finally, they looked for the telltale signs of genetic tampering that would have been left behind by purposeful manipulation in a lab. These so-called reverse genetic systems are used in the making of coronavirus vaccines and treatments, and they have been described in detail in scientific reports. None are present in SARS-CoV-2, the investigators found.

All of this scientific work has been in the public domain since mid-March.

In recent days, however, President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have breathed new life into the assertion that the novel coronavirus is the product of a state-run virology lab in Wuhan.

At the White House last week, a reporter asked Trump whether he had “seen anything” that gave him “a high degree of confidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the origin of this virus.”

“Yes, I have. Yes, I have,” said the president, without offering further details. He then added, “and I think the World Health Organization should be ashamed of themselves because they’re like the public relations agency for China.”

Asked later that day to clarify what he had learned about the virus’s origins, he said: “I can’t tell you that. I’m not allowed to tell you that.”

Pompeo went further, telling ABC News on Sunday that “there is significant evidence this came from the laboratory” in Wuhan. He did not give any specifics, but added that he could not say whether the release had been intentional because “the Chinese Communist Party has refused to cooperate with world health experts.”

Those claims ran into scientific turbulence almost immediately.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, called the assertion that the coronavirus originated in a lab “a circular argument.”

“If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what’s out there now,” there’s a strong scientific case that “this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated,” Fauci said in an interview with National Geographic. “Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species.”

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence had previously issued a statement to the same effect: “The intelligence community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not man-made or genetically modified.”

The World Health Organization’s representative to China weighed in as well.

“All available evidence to date suggests that the virus has a natural animal origin and is not a manipulated or constructed virus,” Dr. Gauden Galea said in an interview released by the WHO. “Many researchers have been able to look at the genomic features of the virus and have found that evidence does not support that it is a laboratory construct.”

However, Galea also said the global health agency has not been allowed access to laboratory logs from the Wuhan Institute of Virology or from China’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

China is an authoritarian state that competes with the United States in military, trade and diplomatic spheres, and relations between the two countries have become particularly testy since Trump took office.

As early as January, after China reported an outbreak of an unknown virus in Wuhan, the U.S. offered to send a team of epidemiologists to assist in investigating and containing the outbreak. China declined the offer, and has continued to hold the United States at bay.

In mid-February, China hosted a WHO-organized Joint Mission of experts on COVID-19. Dr. Clifford Lane, a key lieutenant to Fauci, traveled with the mission.

“It was very clear that the focus of Chinese scientists was on trying to find the reservoir” where the novel coronavirus originated, Lane said this week. They’ve also been looking for the pandemic’s patient zero, since they know that the closer they come to finding the first human to have been infected, the closer they’ll come to identifying the source.

“They don’t want this to happen again any more than we do,” he said.

Harvard microbiologist William Hanage said the facts do not support the idea that either a sloppy scientist or a mad genius tried to turn an existing coronavirus into a bioweapon.

“There is no way a person studying this in a lab would be able to identify the properties that have made it a pandemic,” he said. No scientist can peer into a virus’s genes and locate the features that have made it so diabolically successful at crisscrossing the globe, he said.

With a pandemic “beating at our door,” there’s nothing to be gained by talking about the virus’s origins right now, Hanage added. Whatever is said either “inadvertently fuels conspiracy theories” or “gets twisted into a political point, and that is unhelpful,“ he said.

His advice: “Focus on the raging pandemic and leave this for later.”

I hope you don’t mind if I hijack (pun intended) this post with Paranatural blogs I recommend!

I check the Paranatural tag regularly, but I’m in a lot of other fandoms, so I’m defintiely not a Pnat only blog. I have a lot of Paranatural fics on AO3 under the same username, so if you’re looking for a Percy Jackson AU, Miraculous AU, or some short oneshots from when I took requests awhile back, they’re there! (All of them are PG, minus my Choose Your Own Adventure about Isabel which is more PG-13 for violence)

@incorrectpnatquotes is a blog I run that posts once a day with incorrect quotes for the Pnat universe. We also do ask games, meme-a-thons, Jackbox nights, and hold ‘Starch Radness’ (aka a Paranatural version of March Madness) in March, anything to get the fandom moving every now and then! We’ll also post updates from Zack Morrison’s twitter if we find them helpful, like when they were drawing stuff in exchange for BLM donations.

@isabelguerra posts a lot of original content and also has a really good Harry Potter AU, and I think they’re also writing a Percy Jackson AU (different from mine, so I definitely want to check it out)

@thejangisautistic is a newer blog with some great Pnat content. They recently did some aesthetic moodboards that were super cool!

@accidentalshockodile posts a lot of Pnat content and they’ve been pretty active recently, so they’re a good bet

@richardspenderposting loves Rick Spender, and they post a lot of art and shitposts about Pnat

@paranaturalpop is also pretty active and has some great Pnat content

@monstrblood isn’t a Pnat blog but they post Pnat art sometimes and they have this GREAT comic called Papergirl that’s a story about Isabel and Suzy that I HIGHLY recommend checking out

@eightfoldslibrary isn’t really active anymore, but if you’re looking for some older Pnat fics, definitely check it out!

@pnatsecretsanta​ is only active from around October - January because it’s a fandom secret santa blog, but feel free to check out 2019′s gifts and prepare for 2020′s secret santa

Aaaaaand I probably missed a bunch, so if you’re a Paranatural blog, and you want to bump your blog, reblog this!!!

Are there any paranatural blogs you'd recommend?

maybe @blairdiggory!

i just track the pnat tag and reblog the stuff it shows me if i like it, im not that involved in the pnat fandom on tumblr

Two Thoughts about The Youth

In a class, I watched a documentary about aggressive marketing towards children, but what I remember is how people immediately empathized with the object on the screen. ‘Ooh, I had that’ ‘Oh, I remember that show fondly...’

Somehow media has hijacked our attention. Media overwhelms us every day, people in conversation must be writing speeches on their head, because things will referenced and recorded. Privacy never truly existed, it’s just that using information was less valuable. You might overhear the safe code of someone, but do you have the time to break the safe? Gossip must be spread by mouth, and people are not going to spread something they think is ridiculous.

But on the internet, any ‘private’ information could be used to discredit the person to people whom you do not know, that’s your unknown employers, your unknown customer, your unknown friend of a friend. Technology has made evil easy and good hard. I remember Jack Vale doing the public square experiment, and one person getting really mad. I sided with Vale on this one, but I do wonder if the anger was actually justified. It’s breaking of norms, that ‘private’ information would not be used against them. You can be nosy, but only with consequence.

But it’s more than that. I think the hegemony created a set of expectation that youngins are burdened to commit. You wouldn’t feel missed out about slumber parties if you didn’t knew if it existed. FOMO on life experience would be baffling to people before the media takeover. I mean it’s your life, you are bound to miss some stuff, even popular stuff, but isn’t that what makes you unique?

There’s a sense of ahistorcity. Moment is not to be experienced, but to be interpreted... children now lives both in the past, present and the future. If experience is reality, then as we say, people are moving away from reality... I think people fret about kids on their phones at a museum as an indignation, but perhaps it’s not much of a choice. Kids have to be on their phones, and hey they might going about with more context, but god context shouldn’t be ever present.

Smaller Thought: One of my favorite conversation on Twitter has been between Nikole Hannah Jones and Brihanna Joy Gray, and their conversation has been thinking there might a big age gap in minorities that would be cognizant in 2020.

Two simple truths: 1. We should not celebrate a leader just because they are a person of minority. 2. We should not think economic inequality is the sole piece of inequality among races and gender. It’s all about structural criticism, not just of one type but all types in general. It’s a tight net of oppression out here.

Hijack March Madness 2019 - Day 4 : Babies/Kids

Mockery

Summary : At the age of seven, Jack waits for his mother to pick him up after a fight. He doesn't like to be laughed at. And even less so his hair that caused it.

Sitting in front of the director's office, with his arms crossed, the sulky face, his hair, his face, and his clothes stained with dirt, a little man was waiting for his mother to come and get him. He looked at the wall in front, cursing this school, or more precisely, he cursed the stupid students studying there. He had only been back in school for a week, and although he was proud to enter third grade, his first year of school, having spent the others at home, he already hated it and her students. They were all stupid, idiots. For the simple reason that they made fun of the natural colour of his hair. His snow-white hair had earned her several nicknames. “Old man" “The ancestor” "The centenary” "Tylenol" and many other very kind people who hurt him and made him angry. School was something new, his parents had warned him and explained to him that they should be ignored, that it was the best way, but when you are a seven-year-old child, there is a lot you can't ignore. And even if he had tried for a while, the mockery, sometimes accompanied by insults, and the lack of respect weighed on him. Until today, or after some ugly and stupid kid still calls him an old man, he went to get some dirt, which was good, because it had rained and it was muddy, and painted him again with it. The other kid responded to the attack with mud and fist and after bites, scratches, torn clothes, and torn hair, they both ended up in the director’s office.

Jack had put him in a bad state, he himself had only torn clothes and bruises, but the other boy was bleeding in various places, in addition to missing a big tuft of hair and having started the fight, brought back by other students, it was little Frost who was punished with a ton of homewwork to do, less points on his good conduct, and a return home for the rest of the day, to wash his face. And his parents busy at work couldn't pick him up right now, so he waited. He waited, ruminating, thinking, that because of that his mother would stop working to continue to do classes at home, and that he would no longer be able to go out, see people. . . No. In fact, this place was worse than doing classes at home. The school was a big prison with a lot of prisoners all as stupid as their feet and incompetent guards to restore order. And to teach, given the IQ of some people. In addition, a new inmate with a backpack and a guard appeared. He took a quick look at him. He was a little white boy, smaller in size than him, with freckles all over his skin, with big green eyes, a big nose and medium-length, brown hair. With his legs bent over the chair, he hid his face between his arms, frowning. “From now on, I'll be brown-haired!” He said to himself, looking up, the two strangers having disappeared into the director's office. The soil in his hair was still wet, so he rubbed it, recovering the soil that had flowed on his forehead, and the soil that had stained his arms, legs and clothes to mix them, until it covered them completely, giving him a whole new hair color. Then he crossed his arms, swinging his legs in the void, waiting, sulking. Five minutes after his color, the boy with the green eyes went out with the teacher, who abandoned him with him and went to his class. The clean schoolboy delicately placed his bag against the wall and then looked at it, surprised, and sat next to it, continuing to stare at it. Jack turned around, continuing to pull his pout. He quickly looked to the side, and noticed that he was still looking at it. Angry, he turned to him. “-What do you want from me?! Do you have a problem? growled Jack, staring at him with his ocean blue eyes. -...” The little one carried his dirty hand and collected some dirt, before Jack moved his head back. He looked at his stained fingers, rubbing the mud, as if to check if it was really that thing and then wiped himself on his pants. “-Why are you getting your hair dirty? -I do what I want ! I want to be brown-haired, happy?! he cried, clapping both hands on his shorts -Why? -Because I'm tired of being laughed at and white hair is ugly! -I think it's cute. -...” Jack was preparing to insult him, expecting a mockery, but the word will die in his mouth as he heard the...Compliment? “-...Cute?...” He straightened up. “-Are you kidding me? -No, I swear!... I like white hair. It gives a mature look, in addition to being unique!" He explained, offering him a smile. Jack blushed violently, and hit his cheeks, staining them with mud, not wanting him to see it with that color. “-But...but...I... -Are you saying that you want to change them so that they don't make fun of you anymore? -. . . Well, yes. . . -You want to prove them right and let them win?" He shook his head and looked sadly to the side, then jumped when freckled spot taken from both his hands, his own, and looking at each other. “-So don't let them bother you! They're lame and jealous! -. . . Jealous? There's nothing to be jealous about. -Why would they bother you so much then? -. . . Because it amuses them, I suppose. -If that's really their reason, then they're not worth anything! And also, they'll be annoyed to see that you don't react, or even play with that! Show them you're proud of your appearance! When people don't react the way idiots want, it annoys them and they give up! -Do you really think so? -I assure you. We used to make fun of each other because I have a big nose. -So you weren't saying anything? -Yes. Or sometimes “it's to make you feel better, my chiiiiild!” Jack laughed with him, but continued to blush and catch his breath, looked to the side, then his hand into that of his comrade, and again the child. “- Can you please let me go? -Pardon me!" He took it off just as quickly, his cheeks slightly pink, and scratched his head. The dirty kid looked at his hand, still warm from the contact and stroked it before clenching his fist and throwing his legs into the air. ”-And what are you doing here? -. . . Are you afraid of snakes?" Jack shrugged. The smallest in size looked to the right and then to the left and opened his backpack. He searched inside for a moment and pulled out a small snake with black scales, although he was missing some in various places, accompanied by a handkerchief that was slowly gorging itself with blood. Jack's first reaction was to put his hands on his mouth, then remove them because of the earth, and wiped himself with his shirt, and finally admired the creature he found beautiful, although a little terrifying. -Woah. . . What are you doing with a snake? Whisper Jack, afraid the warden will hear them. -I saved him. Some idiots in my class were having fun throwing it around. -Did you save him? How? You don't look very strong.” In response, he took a slingshot out of the back pocket of his shorts. “-In the eyes, it's frightening.” He had a shy little smile, put away the slingshot, and stroked the animal before the boy's surprised and impressed eyes. “-I keep it with me to give it to my mother, she is a veterinarian, she can treat it. I was afraid that something even worse would happen to him if I gave him back his freedom in this state. -That's really nice of you. You're really brave!" The chestnut smiled at him, but did not look him in the eye, a touch of red having returned to his round cheeks. “-Hem. . . Do you want to touch it? -...It will be fine.. -There's nothing to be afraid of, it's a grass-snake. They are harmless.” Jack wanted to hold his hand, but changed his mind after paying attention. “-Maybe some other day, or I wouldn't risk infecting her with my dirt. -Oups! You're right ! I'm an idiot! -But no, you don't- -Oh, my God, Jack!” As the second student gently put the animal back into his bag, the challenged student turned to the female voice, and was disappointed to see his mother now, who was beginning to get along so well with “freckles". He looked down and stood up, retrieved his backpack hidden under his chair and walked towards his mother, who stood at his height. “-The director told me what happened, but not why you did it. Do you have an explanation for me? -. . . I'm sorry, Mom. . . “ She sighed and took his hand. “-Are you at least all right?” He nodded, still without looking at her, ashamed. “-You know, if you really don't get along with people, we can continue the classes at home. -NO!” The child crossed his arms. “-I will never do it again...But I wouldn't let myself be stepped on. He exclaimed, on top of himself, raising his head. -Haaa...All right, let's go home and give you a bath. -Wait a minute!” He let go of his mother's hand and turned to the smallest, who was watching them. “-What's your name? -Hiccup Haddock. -I'm Jack. Jack Frost! I'm in third grade-A* ! Are you in third grade? -Fourth grade-B -In the fourth grade? Are you older than me?! I thought we were about the same age! -Well, just because I'm older doesn't mean I don't want to play with you. . . Well, if you want, of course. . .” Jack had stars in his eyes and was jumping around. “-See you tomorrow then, Hiccup!” Used to do it for his parents, and not knowing how friends said goodbye, he put a quick kiss on his cheek and greeted him before leaving with his mother, while little Haddock looked like a ripe tomato for a good minute. As he got into his mother's car, Jack abandoned his fleeting idea of having brown hair, finally blessed with his current colour. If a person liked his color, it was enough for him to be happy.
