Neopets Zine - Krawk Island (2019)

I joined Neopets in 2003 when I was just 11 years old, and it's remained a huge part of my life. It was the first practical application of art I'd seen outside animated films, and inspired me to create worlds and characters and to draw every day.

I still credit Neopets with kickstarting my dream of a career in art, so it was a great honour to be asked to participate in my first Zine! I had so much fun representing some of my favourite characters from the wild, unlawful world of Krawk Island!

Horace Gifford (1932-92), just like his peer Andrew Geller, designed a significant number of houses on Long Island or better Fire Island (which he also helped transform) that suited the leisure gay lifestyle developing there. The houses Gifford designed are modest in size but rich in formal and spatial inventiveness and showcase the architect’s design talent. At the same time they occasionally reference Gifford’s mentor Louis Kahn’s architecture. Predominantly built in the communities of The Pines and Cherry Grove the 60 beach houses Gifford realized in just twenty years between 1960 and 1980 were often, but not exclusively, tailored to the wishes of gay clients. Gifford, also gay, was a dashing fellow who not only charmed his clients but sometimes also entered into relationships/affairs with them.

In 2013 Metropolis Books published Christopher Bascom Rawlins’s „Fire Island Modernist - Horace Gifford and the Architecture of Seduction“, a fantastic and page-turning monograph that, as Clifford Pearson wrote in Architectural Record, „…is not some musty tome from the shelves of a university library“. Instead it is more of a double-polar exploration of the architect’s work and life that focuses as much on the architecture as it does on the particular circumstances it came to fruition in.

That Gifford later died due to complications related to AIDS lends the narrative a bitter dimension as it also sheds light on the hedonistic and careless life on Fire Island that should later be overshadowed by the dreadful disease. But despite this somewhat bitter ending the book lives up to its title and in carefully selected photos and materials plastically displays the seductive qualities of Gifford’s houses. And we have to thank Gifford’s long-term partner Robert Greenfield who placed his heirs under the obligation to preserve the architect’s archive. Thanks to this and Bascom Rawlinson’s efforts the present monograph is an enchanting and important book on a wonderful architect!

- douglas and horace watch reality shows together and spend the entire time throwing popcorn at the screen and yelling at characters for being dumb (donald banned baking shows from his the ef hqs and his house since tvs kept getting broke from either the rats or douglas or tasha getting angry and throwing something. the house almost burned down once since adam tried to prove a point and failed)

pt. 2 will probably be coming since i cant stop thinking about these shows

Horace?

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Gordon and Horace were next to return, with a great mass of a beach vine known as thaburru (Cassytha filiformis) that they separated and draped over the stakes to make a 1-metre-high windbreak (wungkurr; see Figure 21).

Mad science private school

First

Of course, this place has single bed rooms. At least he has some privacy. But why is it so big and empty? His room is as big as the lab at home. He could build his own gadgets if he wanted... there must be a scrap yard somewhere in the city.

Apparently, it's unusual to dress normally or for students to leave at all. Four different people thought he was an intruder. But Horace did take a break from mopping to give him directions. Never mind that he seemed to be mopping up rubble, when clearly you are supposed to use a broom or vacuum, come on, that's lab cleanup 101. In his defense, Horace didn't look act or sound like a janitor. He seemed more like a guard dog with extra jobs... and a rubber mask. Come to think of it, practically everyone here wore a mask. Most of which barely covered their faces. Is it too hard to change your skin hair and eye colors slightly and put on a completely different personality? Now that's how you hide in plain sight.

Of corse, this big fancy town would have a salvage store instead of a yard. Back home, no one charged you to recycle. He did get some choice pieces, however. It's just like his parents taught him, look for whatever looks the most like junk. Chances are no one's examined it properly.

He also went to a local hardware store. The store clerk gave him weird looks at the registe. Thanks to Vlads lack of information, he hadn't brought any basic tools, so he had to buy 6 different sets. He probably looked like an amateur way over his head for a project or hobby.

The taxi driver gave him funny looks, too. He probably doesn't get asked to drop people off at the ocean.

Wait.

How's he supposed to get to the island? For that matter, how did he get off the island? It's way in the middle of, not even a harbor, it's off the coast of Jump City.

It looks like a regular tower from this angle.

Exept, he could have sworn it was purple, not blue.

Do you have any new headcanons? I found the ones in your pin very interesting!

Firstly: forgive me for the delay in responding, I started collecting my new headcanons and ended up forgetting to come back here to show them.

Anyway, my new headcanons:

1. Olive's tiara/crown is also made from a heavy material to help her stay on the ground and not fly away. It's extra weight to give her more comfort on the ground.

2. The council of ymbrynes never learned that Bentham accidentally created the hollowgasts. If they had known, Bentham would probably have been arrested. Even if he didn't create the hollows on purpose, he definitely planned a small genocide. This is probably considered a crime by the council.

3. Peculiar souls are not acidic, ambrosia was only acidic because the Wights wanted it, they made it that way. An addictive and corrosive liquid. It was their way of harming their peculiar "allies".

4. Caul always knew that Miss Peregrine was the successor of one of the 12 great ymbrynes who sealed Abaton and this probably made him hate her even more.

5. Nothing bad happened with the old Enoch loop, he probably just didn't suit the place and asked to change loops and ended up in Cairnholm,As grumpy as Enoch is, he likes living there, if he didn't like it he would have asked to change loops at the first opportunity.

6. Every time Abe visited Emma after the war he always went with the intention of ending everything with her, but personally he couldn't, he never had the courage to break her heart personally. Ending everything by letter was easier for him and more painful for her.

7. Claire is very young, she was probably found by Miss Peregrine when she was still very little and Ymbryne adopted her, that's why Claire is so attached to Miss P, she's the closest thing Claire has ever known to a mother.

8.Just like Olive and Noor, Claire is also a peculiar "Infant" she was born with a second mouth on the back of her head and her story must be quite sad.

9. When Victor's body was brought to the island, Enoch was the one who sewed up the entire body, he was the only one who had the courage to do this for his friend.

10. Millard has never feared being forgotten by Miss Peregrine, and probably enjoys being in her presence because she never fails to notice him. She feels his peculiarity, it's as if she sees him. Even though she doesn't really see him, she feels him, she always knows where he is, he will never be forgotten by her, she is the only one who notices his presence all the time.

11. Horace's dreams are completely meaningless, sometimes he manages to interpret and avoid the bad future, and sometimes he cannot understand what he dreamed but tries to explain and everything comes out confused and meaningless.

12. During the entire time that Fiona was missing, she was recovering from the injuries caused by her fall and the violence of the wights.

13. When Miss Peregrine saved Abe she probably didn't know what his peculiarity was, he was too young to be able to kill a hollow, he probably only discovered his gift when he was older and managed to survive an attack by hollowgasts. After all, there is no way for him to discover his power without having met Hollow in person.

14. Hugh has a whole routine organized for his bees so that their life in his stomach is as comfortable as if they lived in a normal hive.

15. There was probably a burial for Caul, and for all the current wights, after all, before they discovered what they had become, they were all presumed dead.

16. The constant transformations of ymbrynes into their respective birds harm their bone health. Their bones keep changing size and becoming hollow, their joints are also damaged, which is why they develop bone and joint problems early. Like Miss Peregrine's arthritis and how Miss Avocet became a wheelchair user.

17. Mr White and his men always knew that the children were with Caul and not Miss P. He was only so worried about knowing where the Falcon was because he knew that it was his master, and he was worried that he wasn't with the children. The wights were only chasing the children to force them to look for Miss Wren faster.

18. Wights do not have complete control or trust in hollows, and they can see the creatures, but they do not trust them enough to ride hollows like Jacob does.

19. Miss Peregrine's greatest fear is losing one of her children. She's already lost many children to tragic deaths, and she definitely doesn't want to go through that again.

20. The ymbrynes of the primordial era of the peculiars were also giants. Gigantic and very wise bird-women.

The Ionian Dance

Artist: Edward Poynter (British, 1836–1919)

Date: 1895

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Private collection

Description

The intimate scene brings to life lines from an ancient Roman poem by Horace. The central figure in the translucent gown is a young girl who has been exiled from Greece and the Ionian islands. She performs a native dance for her bejewelled Roman mistress, seen in the emerald dress reclining on the sofa. The richly painted background and tessellated marble floor, reflecting the dancing girl's feet, demonstrate Poynter's exceptional skill as a painter. The subject matter is painted in the classical style which was highly fashionable at this time.

1863 had seen the re-discovery of the buried city of Pompeii and for the first time excavations exposed magnificent murals, artworks and the preserved remains of the city's inhabitants. The city had been discovered once before in 1599 by an architect who stumbled across frescoes of such frequent sexual content that they were hastily covered over again and no more of the city was touched. After the 19th century re-discovery, artists were heavily influenced by the ancient Roman culture that had been tragically wiped from history.

The painting was purchased by the notable collector Robert English direct from the artist. Robert English was the son of a brick maker who made his fortune in the South African diamond business, later merging his interests with De Beers. The painting remained in his collection until his death in 1914. It was subsequently sold in his estate sale in 1915 and has remained in private hands since then.

I started rewatching House MD with some friends and I remembered something that immediately I tought it was just a weird dream but now that I have checked I can confirm that it is indeed real so I have to share it with the world.

I present to everyone the official 2009 Italian Mickey Mouse House MD parody:

With Mickey as House, Goofy as Foreman, Horace as Chase, Clarebelle as Cameron and Minnie as Cuddy. Sadly there is no Wilson in this version because I guess that the writer shipped House and Cuddy.

The only things I actually remember about this story was that someone was trying to buy the hospital and Dr. Mouse saves it and then the whole team plus Cuddy ended up crashing in a helicopter and found themself on the island from Lost.

Now for some little extra things from the story:

Here we have Dr. Mouse making his entrance in the hospital as he does everyday

And here he is talking to a patient

(Translation: Mouse "Good sir, would you be so kind as to tell us were you live, so that we can ransack your house for your own good" Patient, screaming in anger, "I DON'T THINK SO").

Hope everyone liked this look into the beautiful world of italian disney comics (I swear we have some good ones and I might post about them one day if I find the copies of Topolino were they are or if I ever re-read through PK)

[tabl3]

send in asks about literally anything to do with the rewrite no matter how unhinged <33

questions about characters (I might be willing to unearth light spoilers 👀), relationships, plot points, designs, whatever

(aka I'm bored tm)

anons are on :))

Out of our ‘five adults’, who do you think is the most and least into shower sex?

For me-

1. Horace (He loves water. It’s why he had a pet shark.)

2. Douglas (Anywhere, anytime guy)

3. Tasha (Just the middle ground)

4. Donald (doesn’t like- it messes up his hair since water, so he gets whiny about it.)

5. Leo Mendel (Was in a prison underwater for a time. He ain’t into it)

Horace (yes he loves water)

Douglas (showers are good places to think and fuck)

Donald (he can just blowdry his hair)

Leo (he can learn to like it. baths are worse)

Tasha (her hair will get wet and baths are better)
