Matinicus Rock Light, Penobscot Bay, Matinicus, Maine. Hunting and eating puffins was common practice in Maine over 100 years ago. The first lighthouse keepers on the rock were also wardens, hired by The American Ornithologists Union. They were tasked with protecting The United State's last remaining pair of Atlantic puffins, as well as many other commonly hunted seabird species. Today, Matinicus Rock is owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge, and is cooperatively managed by the National Audubon Society and MCINWR. Thanks to their work and the work of Project Puffin, there are over 500 pairs of nesting puffins, plus 400 pairs of razorbills, 1,000 pairs of terns, about 700 pairs of laughing gulls, and more.

how it started:

how it's going:

#jitxt #my stuff #proud owner of This Specific Photo of Kimura Takuya #not to conflate the two bc my enjoyment of yagami and kimutaku are connected but separate #but obviously it would be bs to pretend i would've been interested in smap without playing judgment #truthfully i was eyeing a magazine too but i don't like investing money/shelf space into an interest unless i'm certain it's here to stay #unfortunately kimura takuya is still only a recent interest so. something small like this is fine #though i might have to get a bromide holder to keep him safe... i know there's an aus run business that sells idol goods like that...#anyway uhhhh first picture context for those who might've missed my lore earlier:#is that post-JE pre-LJ. i didn't really care for yagami. lmao.#i saw yagami fans and it seemed like they were having fun but i genuinely didn't understand their affection for him #and so getting through LJ and starting to like yagami i was like WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME #thinking “lol look at his lame flat ass (affectionate)” and then going “WHAT. WHAT WAS THAT.”#<- girl who realised that she sounded exactly like the yagami fans online #and so i wrestled with it for a while #and bc i was talking in my friend's discord server about my experience with LJ i have this golden screenshot #of the day i finally gave in. pretty sure i'd been looking at pictures of yagami and kimutaku for like an hour beforehand lol #AND MY MESSAGES AFTERWARDS WERE STILL DRIPPING WITH COPE ABOUT IT #said something along the lines of. that i thought they tried way too hard to make yagami seem cool #and then followed it by saying i felt genuinely upset thinking about how i could never be on a date with him #THE DENIAL IS CRAZY... JUST SAY YOU LIKE HIM #anyway i've long accepted my fate but it's still funny to think about #jichan is asked to leave the fandom for needing to play 2 games to start liking yagami #meanwhile my sister's opinion on him hasn't changed at all. “he's alright” <- real quote about yagami from days ago #anyhow that's one of the main reasons i'm playing JE. so i can reevaluate that game with fresh eyes/new perspective #excuse my impromptu storytime. but i guess this whole post is about landmark moments in Jichan Liking Yagami so it's not entirely unfitting #i like yagami takayuki 👍 and now i like kimura takuya too 👍#gave this photo a goodnight kiss last night btw

I haven't been able to watch the whole opening ceremony yet but I want you all to know I'm gonna be thinking about the masked parkouring torch bearer for the next week

#i need a whole tv show of them running through various landmarks and doing flips #this is like lop levels of aesthetic #if they were the main character in a video game i would buy it no questions asked #are they single

"why isn't team black getting the kind of promo that team green is" characters boring and fandom annoying, next question

#personal #the shit some of these people do to olivia and tom and fabien is just so nasty #so no you do not get your team invited to light the empire state building up in team black colors #like the ACTORS of the characters? stupendous i wanna be emma d'arcy's third and they all seem like sweethearts #i'd hang out with anyone on the cast regardless of team in a heartbeat #but team black FANS? like 99% deranged and irritating to all hell #sorry that we got one of the most recognized landmarks in possibly the most powerful country in the world and y'all got spain #(this is literally just a rehash of similar complaints during season 1 press when they were mad olivia was put 'too' front and center)#(in promo for a show where she's the co protagonist and out of all the mains was one of the more recognizable???)#(dumbasses)

what’s the least autistic way to say I’m creating a timeline of events in peaky blinders alongside sic em plot points to keep my story lore accurate while being able to subtly acknowledge changes in fashion, technology, and culture over time with major history events serving as landmarks. and that there are several end dates of seasons that are up in the air so I had to do timeline math based on 1920s fashion trends, weather/foliage patterns, and referenced historical events to be able to estimate when the show canon is displayed onscreen vs when things can afford to get a little loosey-goosey in the ludicrously long time skips. like what’s the least autistic way of saying that

#barking #plot twist there is none and I’ve been doing this for 3 hours straight and only just finished the pb seasons timeline #literally zero plot landmarks have been documented #nor historical events #I promise this is so incredibly necessary bc I keep forgetting when different things happen #and considering one of my main characters is a pregnant woman I do have to know how many months pass between events #thank god the majority of the beginning is set in between s2 and s3 #but I also need to know things like. how old is Charlie. how old is anyone #how can I make it so that kids aren’t born at the same time like some sort of freakish omen

Recent game related things .. hrmm...

#I do like the inconsistency of the first map. that is actually something older but that I re-found and added to my Game Reference stuff #so that when characters reference where they're from I can be accurate. I like that the whole map is kind of shifted up that way. Where the #actual south part doesnt even count as the south since its Too Far and Scary lol. and if you say you're from 'the north' thats basically #like.. one single continent. Though some people do make distinctions like 'north midlands' or etc. still. I like the ways that common #language isn't always precisely accurate like that. and thinking about why a culture would classify things a certain way or etc. etc.#The inventory page is so funny to me because it's literally just the BASe like.. sample layout just to make sure it works properly with 0 #actual design into it. just colored rectangles thrown together in MS paint. but what if I like... left it like that.. what if all the other #art in the game and UI is like stylized and fully matching BUT the inventory/journal/etc. screens I just left as plain colored blocks #with random misalignments and black spots and etc gjhbhjj... It looks unfinished in a Funny Contrast way to me.#the wordcounts are just like... my past few days of writing.. I am still not getting 2200 words a day done or whatever I needed. I'm lucky #if it's even half of that .... tee hee.. :3c I do also keep having appointments and other things going on but..grrr...#The full map of the area is probably not necessary but I thought it would be more realisitc if people were able to reference things. Like i #you have people all living in a city area probably at some point someone might mention a neighboring city or some landmark nearby #or etc. so I thought having at least the basic names of what's around for reference would be sensible. A side character mentioning #'oh yeah I don't live here full time I just travel from Marisene sometimes' or whatever makes it seem more like a Real #Fleshed Out Place than people just making vague references like 'the river' or 'i come from a city nearby' or 'i went to a place somewhere #around here' or 'the other city' or etc. lol.. Especially since global cities/global areas are weird as they operate almost like an #independent country within their walls. so it's like a micro country inside of another country usually. just plopped down in some agreed #upon plot of land that won't be too disruptive to the main country around it. That could get very complex depending on the cultural and #political backdrop of where they're placed (though obviously they try to choose the 'easiest' areas possible for it). Asen is a very mild #country without much history of conflict or anything so it's fine. But still interesting that Sifeh and the entire branched out global area #border three other districts of Asen. Which means like 3 times the local representitives you'l have to negotiate with for some major change #or anything. I think one of the 'random characters you can find around the world and have short discussions with just to make the area #feel more populated and real even though theyre not actual important npcs' is going to be a guy who actually serves on the council that #handles running the global areas and he's like.. some perpetually exhausted middle aged elf running around with a clipboard or whatever #ANYWAY...... hrgh... still trying to write when I can....#I WISH so badly that I had the scope for a simple character creation menu and all character interactions would allot for the background #of your player character. And also to have a simple day night cycle where places in the world you explore/people you talk to during the day #have new options or dialogue at night.. BUT alas... I already am so behind on everything as is lol.. aughhh... T o T #As the worlds number one Needless Detail And Complexity Enjoyer i must dilligently prevent myself from adding additional complexity

Hi! Love your posts !! Suggestion for a fact (if you take those): Eurocat. The 1990 Eurovision featured an animated purple cat in the postcards (?) named Eurocat and I’ve never seen anyone mention anything about his existence. I only learned about him bc I was researching old shows and saw him mentioned on the Wikipedia page. 10/10

Eurovision Fact #477:

Eurocat was the mascot created for the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest in Zagreb. He appeared at the beginning of each postcard in an animated short that featured a blue background with the name of the country repeating on a diagonal and some cultural representation of the country being showcased that Eurocat would interact with.

For example, on the postcard for Spain, Eurocat blew bubbles that formed the Olympic rings, calling to the fact that Spain would host the Summer Games in two years.

Eurocat was created by Joško Marušić, who is credited for his as a member of the directors of the per-production materials for the contest for animation.

While introducing Belgium, commentator Terry Wogan spoke a bit about the mascot saying, "Eurocat! A tomcat who's slightly neurotic, not too silly, and eminently lovable." He also later said while introducing Luxembourg that he was "trying to ignore this cat," adding "I don't think he's gonna go away though," under his breath.

#esc facts oc #eurovision #eurovision facts oc #eurovision song contest #esc #anon ask #esc 1990 #eurocat #Joško Marušić #mascots #I actually remember learning about him for the first time as I was doing research for another fact. I asked ppl on my main account what #the FUCK he was bc I was so confused why they had a pic of a weird cat dog thing on the Yugoslavia page instead of just some trees (bc #putting a landmark for something that doesn't exist anymore would be awk) and someone replied and gave me the lowdown lol!#I've linked the post that I made where many lovely people taught me who he was! Send those lovely ppl some love!#Also thank *you* for your kind words anon #and if you or anyone else has any other ideas like this about facts they'd like to see I'd love to write them!

it's not that I want guzma and volo to fight, but it's so funny to me that gene's two boyfriends are guzma "has an intimidating persona that hides his underlying kindness" willow and volo "has a kind persona that hides his intimidating impulses" alethos

so funny to me that I literally had a dream last night that they were forced to solve dnd puzzles in an illusory town while connected by a magical tether keeping them within each other's line of sight,

and they could Not agree about how to solve them which ended up making it harder for both of them KJFHDSKJF

#it was literally like. 'we have to go to all of these town landmarks. we should be reading the directory left-to-right to hit all of them.'#'that's a terrible idea guzma. this is a /directory/ not a main attractions brochure. we should be going to these in order of the columns.'#they ended up doing both and missing like 10 landmarks and having to go back for those After triggering the werewolf chasing them event

i don't think i ever established this in memoryshipping lore yet but - during the phase where stevaide are in the platonic stage - jaide falls first due to his gentlemanly upbringing (which heavily contrasts his younger self's behavior) and feeds her with generosity and kind gestures like "after you" "watch your step" or any way to show consideration. jaide grew up learning to be independent so she wasn't used to being treated delicately

and since steven willingly allowed himself to be a friend and "tour guide" around hoenn - naturally he'd put himself first in danger or any interference to make sure she feels comfortable in this foreign region and this is already something she wasn't used to - but was slowly growing into it :]

during her pining stages - she'd try to decline his generosity out of embarassment and this would leave mixed signals on steven's end ("did I do something wrong?") and usually this plays off comedically where jaide has no idea how to manage herself next to him. she's supposed to be the character with a strong mental fortitude but after being shown some sweetness - she's crumbling from it... hehe

#♥️ memoryshipping #the next thing for me to figure out is how does he like her in return and how do they finally settle etc etc hehe #steven's main purpose initally was to be her friend and he thought it would stay like that until... well ... more things happened!#i wanna apply more of hoenn's world building into their lore but i cant actually remember certain landmarks so i need to replay oras/emeral #to jog my memory there #the way jaide manages herself next to steven would be like how whitley tries to not think of blake romantically due to that dream #and also a projection of my personal experiences 💚

it's crazy seeing the vastness of differences of opinion on media anyway i think trw had some of the most stressful final combats to watch because i don't particularly care about the food world surviving. i know the food world survives. i care about these morally corrupt food people that are trying to someway somehow right wrongs that they had a hand in creating

#d20 #trw #i think there's some acoc fans that care more abt like the lore of the world than the characters #and like that's fine. and i guess it's fair if u don't like trw because expanding the lore isn't the main draw #still i think every complaint i've seen annoys me because it's like. why didn't we see x y or x from acoc and it can simply be explained #with 'its not that important to the characters'. the rocks sisters' deaths are landmarks in history but pamela was the only important one #trw like every d20 season is character centric and i do rankle at the idea that it's worth less bc it serves the pcs over the worldbuilding #atp im gonna have half of d20 twitter muted lmfao it's a mess out here

as a non-american the fact that zillow exists absolutely blows my mind. like, not only can you easily find out how much a random person's house is worth, which is creepy enough, but you can easily find photos from old listings, even whole floor plans? the price history??? that stuff is just. out there for the whole world to see lmao it's incredible.

#&#also the fact that they're listed under the full address #like #you can just put someones address into zillow and bam #i think thats rare over here #they usually describe the location in the ad #maybe mention a main street nearby or local landmarks like a park or whatever #but #in my experience its rare to get the street and house number #unless you schedule a viewing #so even when you look up old listings online #its not as easy as simply googling an address #idk #zillow creeps #me out #im not complaining though #looking at american houses is one of my favorite hobbies lmaoooo
