In this video I talk about the genesis of Batman Beyond, how Warner Brothers wanted a new, all ages, kid-friendly cartoon that would appeal to all audiences. What they got was frequently one of the most disturbing shows Warner Brothers has ever made.

Join me in celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Batman Beyond by looking at all the ways this show defied expectations and went on to become a beloved fan favourite show.

Summer's Lasting Song

Word Count: 822

Warnings: None

Terry Mcginnis x Fem!Reader ︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

Terry and Y/N had been working as camp counselors for the past two summers, and their bond had grown stronger with each passing season. They were the dynamic duo of Camp Lakeside, known for their wit, humor, and their uncanny ability to make even the most challenging activities fun. However, as the third summer approached, they both felt a subtle shift in their relationship. …

The days passed in a blur of activities and laughter. As the end of summer approached, Terry couldn't help but let his guard down a little.

"Terry, race you to the other side of the lake?" Y/N challenged as they watched the campers go canoeing.

Terry grinned, the competitive spark in his eyes. "You're on!"

They jumped into separate canoes, racing across the lake with playful taunts and splashes of water. When they reached the other side, their laughter was infectious.

"I win!" Terry declared.

Y/N rolled her eyes with mock frustration. "You always win."

Their laughter echoed through the summer air, a moment of pure joy.

"Terry, what if we make today the best day of camp ever?" Y/N suggested, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Terry grinned, always up for a new adventure. "I'm in. What's the plan?"

Y/N leaned in closer, her voice a conspiratorial whisper. "First, we have a massive water balloon fight with the campers."

Terry's eyes lit up with excitement. "Oh, they're not going to know what hit them."

So, they spent the morning filling water balloons and then unleashed them on the unsuspecting campers. The joyful screams and laughter that followed created a memory neither of them would ever forget.

After lunch, they decided to take the campers on a nature hike. Terry and Y/N led the way, pointing out interesting plants and wildlife along the trail. The children listened in rapt attention as the two of them shared their knowledge.

As the sun dipped lower in the sky, they gathered around the campfire once more. This time, Y/N took out her guitar, and Terry began telling ghost stories that had the kids both terrified and excited.

Finally, as the day came to a close, they decided to organize a camp-wide talent show. Terry played the harmonica, showcasing a hidden talent, while Y/N sang and strummed her guitar. The campers took the stage, too, displaying their own talents.

The night was filled with laughter, music, and shared moments. It was a day they would cherish as the best day of camp ever.

…

"Hey, Terry, do you remember our first summer here?" Y/N asked, her gaze fixed on the campfire in front of them.

Terry chuckled. "How could I forget? I thought I was the coolest camp counselor ever."

Y/N smirked. "You were the goofiest, but I wouldn't have had it any other way."

They both laughed, their shoulders brushing against each other. The warmth of the campfire seemed to seep into their conversation.

"You know, Terry, I think we make a great team," Y/N said, her voice soft.

Terry turned to look at her, his eyes filled with sincerity. "Yeah, we do. The best team."

As the crackling of the campfire filled the air, they shared a comfortable silence. No more words were needed to express the bond they had forged over the summers.

One night, as they lay side by side on a blanket under the stars, Y/N spoke up. "Terry, do you ever wonder what's going to happen after this summer?"

Terry sighed, a mix of nostalgia and uncertainty in his voice. "I've been thinking about it, Y/N. I don't want things to change too much."

Y/N turned her head to meet his gaze, their eyes locking in the moonlight. "Me neither."

The unspoken emotions hung in the air, heavy with the unacknowledged feelings that had been growing between them. Terry's heart raced as he realized that he couldn't let this moment slip away.

With a gentle but firm hand, he reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind Y/N's ear. "You know, there's one thing I don't want to change," he whispered.

Y/N's breath caught as she looked into his eyes, searching for the words that had remained unsaid for far too long.

Terry leaned in, his lips meeting hers in a soft, tender kiss. It was a kiss that spoke of summers spent together, of shared laughter and secret glances. It was a promise of the future, of the adventures yet to come.

As they pulled away, their foreheads touching, Terry whispered, "I love you, Y/N."

Y/N's eyes glistened with unshed tears as she smiled, her heart overflowing with emotions. "I love you too, Terry."

In that moment, under the starlit sky and by the crackling campfire, they knew that their summer romance was just the beginning of a lifetime of adventures, laughter, and love.

Northeast Visitors por David Blazejewski Por Flickr: In 2014 the North Carolina Transportation Museum held their biggest party ever and in my humble opinion the single greatest railfan event I've ever attended before or since. Following up on their wildly successful heritage unit family portrait event for Norfolk Southern's 30th anniversary they planned something even bigger. Gathering 26 surviving freight and passenger diesels from the classic first generation era, they all came together for three days of festivities centered around the old Southern Railway turntable. So here is yet another angle from this truly once in a lifetime event! Here are two visitors from the northeast representing a pair of roads from the classic era seen around the turntable on the warm Carolina night. Traveling from Port Jervis, NY was Erie E8A 833 at the time owned by the New York and Greenwood Lake Railway. Built by EMD in Mar. 1951 she would pass to E-L and then CR where she gained fame as CR 4022 dressed in Conrail blue and then later Pullman green as one of three special units retained to lead big blue's OCS train. As of this writing I believe she is currently brokered for sale with an uncertain future. At right and sent by the Railroad Museum of New England in Thomaston, CT is New Haven FL9 2019 resplendent following a complete restoration and paint job completed prior to this event. Built by EMD in Oct.1960 as NH 2049, the dual mode 5 axle unit unique to the New Haven spent her whole life hauling passengers on the rails for which she was built passing from the NH, to PC, CR and then Metro North before being sold to the state of Connecticut. One of 10 such ConnDOT units she was rebuilt by Chrome Locomotive in 1985 and returned to her original McGinnis era New Haven livery. Retired around 2002 I she still operates in Connecticut on the Naugatuck Railroad's excursion trains on an ex NH branch to Torrington. If you want to learn more about this railfan event of the century in case you weren't there this gentleman has a fabulous overview on his site: www.wvncrails.org/streamliners-at-spencer.html Spencer, North Carolina Saturday May 31, 2014

Goodreads Choice Awards but the nominees are just the books I've personally shelved

I have a lot of thoughts about the options as they exist (mostly not that bad, except when it comes to the total elimination of children's literature, about which I am furious), but per usual I can't really articulate them in a coherent way SO I sorted my shelves by publication date, ignored the GCA requirement of a minimum 3.5 average rating, and am doing this instead.

[update: oops this did not turn out coherent either. but it got typed!]

Important Reminder: These are not all books I consider equal contenders for "best." I simply wanted to highlight every possible option I actually knew about and have read or am interested in reading.

YA

After the Sirens - Sharon Farrell

Begin Again - Emma Lord (forgot to add this one before)

The Brothers Hawthorne - Jennifer Lynn Barnes (actual nominee and I'm gonna vote for it even though it seems like it may be more of a filler book. The Davenports is the only other official nom to intrigue me, and its lower average rating + hideous cartoon cover isn't enough to flip me unread so sorry, we're going Basic Popularity Contest Pick)

Cleaning Up - Leanne Lieberman

Five Survive - Holly Jackson (definitely not a winner)

Gather - Kenneth M. Cadow (edit: National Book Award finalist?? like with the adult fiction??)

Good as Gold -- Candace Buford (definite contender for fave so far)

Holly Horror - Michelle Jabès Corpora

The Island - Natasha Preston (lol. lmao even. but ridiculous fun)

The Lake House - Sarah Beth Durst

A Long Stretch of Bad Days - Mindy McGinnis

The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway - Ashley Schumacher (here on author loyalty only)

Three Rivers - Sarah Stusek (THAT'S RIGHT. HER.)

Summer Rental - Rektok Ross (why am I this aware of brand-new ya horror??) (because I love horror and it's usually better paced and spookier and less shock-gory than the adult brand? fair)

YA FANTASY / SCI FI

Dream to Me - Megan Paasch (I think it would go here, anyway. but maybe it's just regular YA)

The Eternal Ones - Namina Forna (I gotta remember this series exists)

FANTASY

Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries -- winner winner pick!! (no like officially)

Starling House - Alix E. Harrow (though this is a close second, and honestly, if they weren't both actual nominees I'd think The Unmaking of June Farrow has some potential intrigue)

ROMANCE

Hazel Fine Sings Along - Katie Wicks (no comment on its Wattpad origin. I didn't notice until just now. have not read it.)

Famous For A Living - Melissa Ferguson (popular enough for Once Upon a Book Club! but not for for an official nom, despite my hopes, in this fiercely competitive category. boooo)

Out On a Limb - Hannah Bonam-Young (damn I actually saw this one making rounds on BookTube, thought it might be here)

Something Wild & Wonderful - Anita Kelly (can't believe there's actually a queer romance I want to see show up and it doesn't)

(Bonus: legit nominees I am considering for validity include Happy Place; Yours Truly - I really need to figure out if Emily Henry and Abby Jimenez are in my wheelhouse or not - and Hello Stranger, though as much as I like Katherine Center this one does not call to me)

FICTION

This Bird Has Flown - Susanna Hoffs (might also have been under romance if picked for the actual GCA? feels more mainstream than that but idk. anyway HATERS 2 THE LEFT.)

^ also my pick for debut

The Lost Manuscript - Mollie Rushmeyer (dunno which category this would officially go in either. probably romance? maybe mystery? but it's got a lot more plot than the average romance)

HISTORICAL FICTION

The Echo of Old Books - Barbara Davis (holy crap this one's actually in the nominations?! Instant vote. Almost disappointing because there are some other candidates I would have felt fine voting for to block the worse ones, but this is the only one on my acute TBR. If I don't give at least 4 stars I will be shocked)

MYSTERY/THRILLER

Forgotten Trail - Claire Kells

The Hike - Lucy Clarke

The Only One Left - Riley Sager

Homecoming - Kate Morton (crisis alert! the latter two are both official nominees and I am equally interested in both/both have equally good track records with me) (probs. gonna vote Kate on the principle of female solidarity. even though this is really stretching the definition of "mystery")

HORROR

A Haunting on the Hill - Elizabeth Hand

(How To Sell a Haunted House is a hard maybe but also the only one I think I'd even consider trying from the official noms)

MEMOIR

Paris: The Memoir - Paris Hilton

The Woman in Me - Britney Spears

Grimoire Girl - Hilarie Burton Morgan

Tell Me Everything - Minka Kelly

If You Would Have Told Me - John Stamos

Goodbye to Clocks Ticking - Joseph Monninger (forgot I just stumbled upon this one recently! it's on my library list but not my GR account)

and one more except GCA put it in a different category hang on

Three of these - not Burton's, alas - are actually nominees. Britney is gonna win but not without a fight from me. Do I go with Paris, whose memoir impressed me even though I still don't care much for her as a person, or Minka, whose memoir I haven't read but whose reviews sound excellent and whom I like more?

HUMOR

Being Henry - Henry Winkler (there is absolutely no reason for this not to be nominated in memoir btw. I hope it wins Humor because nothing else appeals in that category and I have multiple vendettas (SAMANTHA IRBY), but it would be as misplaced a win as the Office Ladies book was last year. fully deserving of an award! actually the best of the given nominees! but also like an adult beating a bunch of children in a footrace.)

MIDDLE GRADE

(no longer a GCA category but it fudgin' should be)

Just Gus - McCall Hoyle

Falling Out of Time - Margaret Peterson Haddix (actually glad I don't have to choose between these two because like. dogs - but also boy MC - or author loyalty ft. sequel to my childhood fave??)

Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen - Geri Halliwell The Spice Girl (no. 😔) (and yet it is still on my shelf)

I have no strong opinions for any categories I skipped.

Cast: Candace Hilligoss, Frances Feist, Sidney Berger, Art Ellison, Stan Levitt, Tom McGinnis, Forbes Caldwell, Dan Palmquist, Bill de Jarnette, Steve Boozer. Screenplay: John Clifford. Cinematography: Maurice Prather. Film editing: Bill de Jarnette, Dan Palmquist. Music: Gene Moore.

There aren't many one-offs in movie history, films like Carnival of Souls that come out of nowhere, made by unknown directors who never make another commercial feature, but which capture the imagination enough to develop -- after time passes -- not only a cult following but also critical admiration. Herk Harvey was an employee of a firm based in Laurence, Kansas, that made industrial and education films, when he had an idea for a horror movie that would be set, at least in part, in an abandoned amusement park like the one he had seen near Salt Lake City. He mentioned the idea to his colleague, a writer named John Clifford, who whipped up a screenplay about a woman who survives an accident but then begins to feel that she's going mad. It needed, Harvey told Clifford, to climax with a scene in which ghoulish figures were dancing in the abandoned amusement park. Harvey scraped together the money and hired an actress and model named Candace Hilligoss, who agreed to take $2,000 for her role in the film. There is no credited art director for Carnival of Souls, but Harvey or whoever assisted him found a great variety of evocative locations, including the Saltair pavilion, a former dance hall and amusement park that had fallen on hard times and was standing derelict near the Great Salt Lake. The settings also include a factory that makes pipe organs and a carpenter gothic rooming house, both of which serve the creepy atmosphere of the film. Not all of the semi- and non-professional actors Harvey cast in the film are up to their jobs, but there's a somnambulant quality to Hilligoss's performance as the haunted Mary Henry that's just right, and while Clifford's dialogue is sometimes tin-eared, the story he crafted around Harvey's suggestions takes hold of the imagination. That's Harvey himself as the spookily made-up man who menaces Mary. 

Carnival of Souls (1962) dir. Herk Harvey

Aquatic Anamolies

The Tragedy of Tommy Turtle

In times of war, mistakes are sometimes made. Individuals, especially outsiders, can be misidentified. Inevitably, innocents can be killed. Alas, it's a sad truth that such a fate befell one large and luckless leatherback turtle during World War II.

Tommy Turtle, as he was named postmortem, was a prodigious specimen: more than six feet long, three feet wide, and weighing about one hundred pounds. He was more than likely lost as he swam through the Columbia River one late summer day in 1942. Leatherbacks, the only sea turtles lacking a shell, are concentrated mostly in the Atlantic Ocean off of Florida and equatorial America. They exist in the Pacific Ocean in lesser numbers, but usually nowhere near the western United States. A stranger in a strange land, Tommy was confused by a boatload of fishermen, who mistook him for a small Japanese submarine as he swam just below the surface.

The patriotic fishermen, intent on defending the Northwest from Emperor's Hirohito's navy, grabbed their guns and opened fire on unfortunate Tommy. Realizing their error as blood gushed from his dark ridged back, they did the only thing they could: hoisted him aboard, took him into port, and cut him into turtle steaks.

A newsletter from the Tongue Point Naval Air Station in Astoria aptly concluded: "This is the unromantic end of Tommy Turtle, whose first visit to the Pacific Northwest ended so disastrously for him."

Of Pacu and Piranha

The pacu is a South American freshwater fish, a herbivore cousin to the piranha. The two look similar-flat and oval-shaped, with prominent teeth-although pacu are considerably larger (they can grow up to about a yard long). Pacu teeth are not pointed, like those of piranha, but they can be just as sharp; they can break open seeds and nuts that fall into the water and chew hard vegetation. When confronted with an unfamiliar, potentially edible morsel, pacu harbor no aversion to an experimental nibble. In other words, while they're not as dangerous as piranha, they nay still bite flesh, should they be curious as to whether it suits their diet.

Given the pacu's South American origins, it's surprising and a bit alarming that at least two have been caught in Oregon waters.

In September 1998, Greg Asplund reeled one in while pond fishing at Jackson County's Expo Park. He'd noticed it in the pond beforehand and thought it to be a bass or a crappie. But there was something-if you'll pardon the pun-fishy about the way it chased smaller fish. It seemed overly aggressive.

Upon closer inspection after catch it. Asplund was sure he'd caught a piranha. It was only after taking it to the Oregon State Police, who then turned it over to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, that this piscine puzzler was properly pegged as a pacu.

A similar catch was made by fourteen-year-old Nicole Wells in August 2004 at Round Lake in Camas. She was taken aback by the mean-looking teeth on a foot-long fish she caught. Her mother strongly suspected it was a piranha, but a manager at a tropical fish store later identified it as a pacu.

In August 2003, another young fisherman, Jason McGinnis, caught a piranha in Milwaukee's Johnson Creek. He got the scar to prove it, as the pacu's carnivorous cousin bit him on the finger while he was removing the hook. Nevertheless, the fourteen-year-old kept the fish, hoping to sell it.

It isn't hard to figure out how these out-of-towners got into Oregon's waters. Both pacu and piranha are readily available in some pet shops. When their owners get bored with them, or pacu grow too big to keep in a fish tank, they're sometimes dumped into the wild. Cold water in the fall and winter will eventually kill either fish. In warm summer water, however, they'll gladly try out the local cuisine!

Top 5 Things To Do In Medford, Oregon

Medford, Oregon is a city that lives up to the old-fashioned American ideals of community and history. The city may not be well known outside the Pacific Northwest region, but it's a fun place to visit because it has so much to offer. Whether you're looking for outdoor adventures or simply want to explore some local history, Medford has plenty of options for all kinds of travelers. Here are five things that we recommend checking out when visiting this quaint Oregon town:

Medford

Medford is a city in Southern Oregon, located in the Rogue Valley. It's the county seat of Jackson County, and was founded in 1883 by David Loring, a civil engineer who named the city after his friend Dr. Joseph Medford from Boston.

Medford is home to several colleges and universities including:

Southern Oregon University (SOU) - A public liberal arts college established in 1856; one of only two four-year universities within an hour drive from Medfords' downtown area

Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC) - A community college offering associate degrees as well as certificate programs

Crater Lake National Park

Crater Lake National Park is a national park located in southern Oregon, United States. The park was established in 1902 and covers 1,950 square miles (4,932 km2). It is the deepest lake in the United States with a maximum depth of 1,949 feet (587 m), making it also one of the top ten deepest lakes worldwide.

The park's name derives from its location on what was once called "the buried volcano" due to an eruption that occurred approximately 20 million years ago; however, no signs of this have been found within its borders today. Though most people associate Crater Lake with waterfalls cascading down into its depths or an active caldera lake surrounded by pinnacles and cliffs, there is much more to see here than meets eye!

Stewart Ave

The Avenue is a long street that runs through Medford, and it's home to many of the city's oldest buildings. It's also known as Stewart Ave, named after George Stewart who settled here in 1855. While you're on The Avenue (or Stewart Ave), you can walk around and shop at some of the great stores or eat at one of its many restaurants.

Rogue Creamery

Rogue Creamery is a dairy farm, creamery, and cheese factory in Central Point, Oregon. The company was founded by David Gremmels and Marjorie McGinnis in 1973. Rogue Creamery produces several varieties of award-winning artisan cheeses including:

Buckaroo Blue - A creamy blue cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk

Oregeno Honeymoon - A semi-soft Italian-style cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk (also available as part of our Gift Boxes)

Camembert de Normandie - An unpasteurized French style Camembert made with raw milk

If you're planning a visit to Medford, be sure to check out these places.

If you're planning a visit to Medford, be sure to check out these places.

The Crater Lake National Park is about 2 hours away from Medford and well worth the drive. You can hike along the rim of this beautiful blue lake or take an easier walk around it. There are also tours available that include boat rides across the lake and stops at viewpoints where you can get amazing views of its waters below.

If hiking isn't your thing, then try kayaking instead! There are several locations around town where you can rent boats or even take lessons if you're inexperienced with paddling through water (and trust me--it's harder than it looks). A few places where I recommend going: Ashland Paddle Sports & River Runners Adventures; Rogue River Rafting Company; Rogue Wilderness Outfitters; Oregon Whitewater Adventures

We hope that this list has given you a little inspiration for your next trip to Medford. This city has so much to offer and we are happy to share our top 5 picks with you!

Dicas de Livros que Apresentam a Natureza

Dicas de Livros que Apresentam a Natureza

  Uma coisa que eu gosto muito é de ver listas de livros para ler. Ajuda naquela ressaca literária, bloqueio literário e também no “não tenho nada pra ler!”, enquanto olha todos aqueles livros não lidos que estão na sua frente. Então vou tentar fazer uma lista a cada semana (se a faculdade deixar) com algumas listas que eu vejo por aí, espalhadas pela internet. Essa lista tem foco na natureza…

CABIN 10 — APHRODITE

Headcanons.

❝I want to apologize to all the women I have called pretty before I’ve called them intelligent or brave. I am sorry I made it sound as though something as simple as what you’re born with is the most you have to be proud of when your spirit has crushed mountains. From now on, I will say things like, ‘You are resilient,’ or, ‘You are extraordinary.’ Not because I don’t think you’re pretty. But because you are so much more than that.❞ 

— Rupi Kaur

Headcanon masterlist.

They’re the camp hairdressers. You need a trim? You want it cut? You want it died? You want to shave it all off? Hit ‘em up.

The type of people that will straight-up chop their hair if it doesn't match their outfit. Somehow, it always works out? I'm looking at Micarah Tewers.

They also run a secret ear piercing — or anything else you need to pierce — parlor.

Okay, but consider: children of Aphrodite that grow up to be models.

They can charm speak the photographers into letting them pick their own poses & not make them do seductive ones if they’re not comfortable with them.

Some create clothing lines that represent sustainable fashion & have big names but small carbon footprints.

Some are spies.

Think about it! They know how to switch subtle bits of their personality to fit in with everyone they come across, when & when not to use their charm.

The hide outfits under other outfits & can slip one off in public to reveal the other & lose a tail.

And they'd probably be great at disguise makeup. Add a prosthetic chin, contour their nose differently, pull off their wig, & they're a completely different person.

Plus, their combat training at C.H.B. makes them the perfect agent.

The floor next to their bunk is scattered with fabric cuttings, pins, needles, their sewing machine, serger, & measuring tape.

The number of times someone's gotten a needle or pin in their foot's a tad concerning.

Will absolutely not wear a top with an overstitched collar. Fast fashion is so tacky! Understitch is the way to go, the staple of a quality garment.

Vintage is better. Not because it's in style (that's a plus, though), but because the seams are big enough for you to let out, & it's made to last.

Experts at thrifting. Not just 'cause it's trendy or whatever, but because they're excellent at upcycling & far too many perfectly good clothes go into the land fill each year.

Make stunning dresses out of Good Will table cloths & curtains.

Or stitch two items together into one better whole.

They iron their clothes; they're not animals.

Really good at getting stains out?

Totally in on the corset bustier top trend, but they're using spiral steel boning in place of zip-ties. Because, again, they want things to last & they're not tacky.

Pass each other tips. Like to tuck your top into your tights to avoid the bulge under your skirt.

Some found big-name, organic makeup companies that don't test on animals. They use packaging that can be recycled or that's biodegradable.

Borrow their clothes, sure, whatever, but double-dip in their makeup & die. The bacteria will give them acne. (Or is it the oils? Either way, you'll perish.)

Happy to drop their skincare routine, though.

You need to cover up that tattoo you got from C7? They got you.

Flawless makeup on a budget. Expensive doesn't always mean better.

They're taking you to the pool for a first date? Take a seat, C10 knows just the stuff. They use what Disney Princesses use.

Can guess the right shade of foundation/lipstick for you on the first couple tries.

A lot of them invest in magnetic lashes because glue's a b¡tch.

Reusable makeup wipes.

Rick says C10 kids just sit around the lake & check their reflection, but consider: working out gets them their dream bod. So, yes, they do, in fact, train.

They just do it with intricate braids/hair gel & stylish sportwear.

And if a potential partner finds it unattractive that they’re “too muscly,” they’re no longer a potential partner.

Weapons disguised as jewelry or chapstick/lipstick.

Thalia had a mace canister that turned into a spear, & I gotta say, I.D.K. how she planned to get that through security. Imagine, alternatively, a tube that appears to be full of bright red lipstick when the T.S.A. agent opens it, but actually turns into a spear when opened by a half-blood.

(I have a headcanon that Riptide would just be a pen in the hands of a mortal. Bounced around for years as random objects until Poseidon nabbed it & took it to Chiron — recall that pen you lost?)

A pink, velvet choker that turns into a kopis with a dove embossed in the handle.

Many choose to train in heels. Might as well wear in training what they’ll be wearing when attacked in the street.

They’ve got no time for internalized misogyny. 

“C10′s weak ‘cause they like being pretty!” Good way to lose a kneecap, Annabeth. You’ve grown up in this camp, you knew Selina, & you should know better.

They confront Piper’s misogyny pretty early on after The Lost Hero, but Piper still takes some time to get over her bias toward pink.

Are we not gonna talk about Rick’s fashion choices for Piper throughout the series? “She looks so fashionable.” To whom, Rick? To whom?

You couldn’t’ve done a little internet surfing just to see what was in style? I never leave the house in anything but jeans, Converse, & a graphic t-shirt from Walmart, & even I know she’s dressed like a middle-schooler! Probably because that’s how I dressed in middle-school… That’s not the point.

The point is just because a character likes makeup or fashion or the color pink, doesn’t mean they can’t/won’t fight for their lives & the lives of their friends if/when the time comes. And it doesn’t mean that they’re stupid or judgmental.

I don’t know a lot about makeup. Hades, I don’t even wear makeup — you can’t rub your eyes or scratch your face; it would drive me crazy. I don’t know a lot about fashion either. I don’t understand it, but I can respect it.

❝‘Jesus,’ Sara says as Branley walks past us. ‘Too cold to show off cleavage, so instead she goes for jeans so tight I can see her thong.’ ‘She looks nice,’ I say, and she does. Branley always looks put together in a way that tells me she spends hours in front of a mirror before going outside. And while I don’t understand that, I can respect it.❞

— Alex Craft, Mindy McGinnis’s The Female of the Species

According to The Lost Hero, all children of Aphrodite intuitively speak French. Cool, cool, cool — but consider, all of them also intuitively speak the language of flowers. 

They see a red rose, and they just know it symbolizes love & passion. They see an orange lily, to contrast, & they know it symbolizes hatred. 

There’s a copy of The Language of Flowers in their cabin, and it’s full of annotations, like, So-and-so gave these to so-and-so for Valentines Day! And, So-and-so gave these to so-and-so after their kiss on the Fourth of July; they obviously didn’t do their research! 

They work together with C4 (Demeter) to provide flowers for funerals & the like.

C10 bookshelves also contain a lot of romance novels. 

Beaten up copies of Pride & Prejudice & The Fault in Our Stars with faded highlighter over the beautiful lines & annotations in the margins.

The outside walls are a dusty pink, & the wood’s stained a dark brown that goes surprisingly well with the pink.

Inside, the walls are covered in faded wallpaper.

The southwest wall has a bay window with extra storage in the seat. (There’s not a body in there; they swear.)

(That’s an Arsenic & Old Lace reference, for you youngsters.)

The curtains have one chiffon layer closer to the window & a thicker floral fabric for inside. The thick curtains are replaced based on the season & whether or not someone’s decided to make a romper out of them.

They have a real bell jar with a real rose in front of the window. Legend has it it’s from Aphrodite herself.

Said window is a stained glass image of a dove.

The chaise lounge was probably beautiful when it was brought it, but it’s got fingernail polish & makeup stains on it now. Honestly, someone should really have that thing cleaned.

As you might have noticed, I placed a gif of swans at the top instead of a fancast for Aphrodite. This is because I think, as I believe most Percy Jackson fans do, multiple people should play her. I'd cast Arden Cho, Camila Mendes, Candice Patton, Diane Kruger, & Gal Gadot to start with.

Visit my Aphrodite cabin Pinterest board or my headcanon masterlist.

DISCLAIMER ━━━ I know I got a tad political with this one, but I didn’t & don’t intend to offend anyone. ━━━ These headcanons are what I consider to be canon in my fanfictions. They may be others’s headcanons I’ve subconsciously filed away in my noggin. If one’s yours and you want it removed or credited, please send me your post and let me know.

Crawford Lake

Crawford Lake is meromictic, meaning its layers do not mix. (Another meromictic lake is McGinnis Lake at the Petroglyphs Provincial Park.)

According to Conservation Halton's website, "In the deepest part of the lake 75 ft below the surface, sediment is deposited in annual layers and remains totally undisturbed. Scientists researching this sediment in the early 1970s discovered corn pollen dating from the 13th to 15th century. This led to the discovery of the archaeological footprints of a Wendat or Attawandaron village."

Comic Con, day two! Today I cosplayed Jason Todd, and my friend did Black Widow again. We also brought my baby brother along. First we went to get Will Friedle's autograph, which was fun because he was super nice and happy to see the Batman Beyond comic I brought for him to sign. He happened to mention that an artist that had done that comic also did transformers, which he plays Bumblebee in. My brother LOVES Bumblebee, okay? Like, more than he loves himself. And finding out he was in the presence of his hero made his eyes go wide and he whispers "you're in transformers?" Hence the kid is in my picture with Will Friedle and myself. Then we went to Greg Cipes's live show, which was REALLY cool, and I got his autograph too. Being that Beast Boy is one of my favorite characters in anything ever, it was cool just to be in the same building as him. But then we went to get the autograph and things got even better. He signed it "yo mama Cheye, peace love animals" which was really cute, and he hugged me before we took our picture. And that picture is my new favorite, by the way. Then we went to a booth to get my brother some Harry Potter glasses and my friend was trying some on, having fun. We got my brother a replica of Ron's wand and his glasses, and my brother found a Golden Snitch and Yin/Yang pocketwatch deal. He bought both. We went to hang with some friends from school for a bit in a lounge area, and then my brother went and found two Harry Potter mystery figurines that turned out to be Dumbledore and Hagrid's dog. We also got my mom some authentic Holy Water. Because, you know, demons. On the way out we found a booth selling official souvenirs and a Yondu Poppins shirt there, which I've been looking for since the movie came out(because I just couldn't find the right design). I had to have this one, it was perfect. I'm having so much fun. Tomorrow I'm going to the Ravager Reunion panel and the Twisted Toonz panel and I'm SUPER excited!
