#Mirage Koas

[daily-rayless]

Happy Birthday to Star Ocean 3's Mirage Koas, the resistance fighter/pilot/martial artist who should really just be a party member from the moment you meet her.

[tired-needs-sleep]

they deserve a nice day at home without having to fight against evil organizations

this is only a fraction of the pokemon rhea has. they have 18 in total, but here's these 5's names if anyone was curious

leafeon: spring

espeon: koa

flareon: pyro

zirconeon (the gray one with gemstones): caveren

bristleon (the one curled up): mirage

i'm still learning how to draw pokemon in general but i think i'm developing a style here? i noticed that i tried too hard to mimic the anime's art style before

also tried to make spring look like she's trying to get as much sun on its tail as possible for photosynthesizing :)

writing pattern game

Rules: Share the first line of your last ten published works or as many as you are able and see if there are any patterns! (from most recent to least recent, starting from the top) This has been flying around my feed lately so I'mma steal it because I can. 1. Ghost Story Visiting her mom’s grave on Halloween night feels morbid, which is one reason Julie doesn’t tell her dad that she’s going. 2. A Matter of Time “It seems he left everything to you, son.” 3. Second Skin Lance doesn’t always feel like Lance. 4. Never Look Back (A Breath Away from Heaven) Eddie wanted it on record that his intention had not been to summon a demon. 5. but where do you belong Optimus isn’t happy with Mirage. 6. Double Tap to Like It starts with an Instagram post. 7. Budding The poor thing looks pathetic, is all Steve can think as he stares down at the little green shrub. 8. In the Stolen Silence of Sunset The sunset was better in the days when Keith could watch it from on top of Black, her metal warm beneath his hands, her quiet assurance rumbling deep in the back of his mind. 9. More than They Make You Out to Be Steve knows he’s not the smartest guy in most rooms. 10. translations, lost and found Koa has nightmares. Frankly I don't see any patterns, except I do have a habit of dropping a story right into the middle of a plot, I guess? Hmm. I didn't used to like first lines in my fics, but I think most of these are fairly solid hooks, so maybe I'm getting better at it? LOL. Not gonna tag anyone directly (since I stole this and wasn't tagged myself), but if you see it and wanna do it, consider yourself tagged!

tl;dr

Anne Boleyn was a greater landowner than her predecessor, and, actually, a greater landowner than any other Tudor consort. 

Of ten bishops appointed during her time as Queen, seven were her own evangelical clients.

KoA was a relatively successful political agent during 1509-15, afterwards Wolsey eclipsed her political agency and power, and actually his income was even greater than hers(!), £5,000 a year in 1515 and £9,500 by the 1520s (her own jointure was £4,129 annually). Just as the death of Isabella in 1504 decreased her value as a marital candidate, the elevation of Charles V to Holy Roman Emperor seemed to increase her value as Queen...however, as soon as he reneged on his agreement to wed Princess Mary in 1526, that was revealed as the mirage it was.

And I'll put more specifics later, but Katherine Howard had more successful intercessions as Queen than Jane Seymour; KParr was regent, and even briefly named regent for Prince Edward, if Henry should not return from France; which is comparable only to how AB was named as regent for her own children in the event of Henry's death. The regency of KoA and her political influence in the beginning of her reign, as well as her own child being considered heir for so many years, puts her out ahead for that period of time.

Hi! i really like your blog and your opinions so i wanted to ask you ,if you could do a rank of the Six Wives based on how much politically active they were and why would you rank them that way .

Anne Boleyn, KoA (1509-15), Katherine Parr (with a very slight edge over) Katherine Howard, KoA (1515-36), Jane Seymour (with a very slight edge over) Anne of Cleves …

& I will explain why… later … if ever I find the wherwewithal ☺️

SEPTEMBER 2018 WRAP UP

Well, for once when I say it was a slow reading month for me, I mean it lol I didn’t read as much and what I read took me awhile. Stephen King always does because it’s Stephen King and homeboy is dense as fuck with his stories. I didn’t get to any of the backlogged sequels either. It was just a ‘read what I want’ kinda month, I guess.

October will probably look much the same way because I get married November 5th (!!!) so I’ll most likely be too busy making sure everything’s set up for that. I want to read some spooky books for Halloween, though. I’ve got Firestarter, IT, and Hocus Pocus the Sequel on my TBR so I’m hoping I’ll attempt to read those and not get too distracted by new releases BUT it’s KoA release month so fat chance with that lol

FAVORITE’S OF THE MONTH

Seafire by Natalie C. Parker

The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang

Mirage by Somaiya Daud

DUD’S OF THE MONTH

Spindle by E.K. Johnston

OCTOBER RELEASES I’M EXCITED ABOUT

Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor

What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera

The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzie Lee

A Map of Days by Ransom Riggs

The Devil’s Thief by Lisa Maxwell

Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas

Dry by Neal Shusterman & Jarrod Shusterman

Salt for Air by M.C. Frank

[tired-needs-sleep]

not too long ago i decided to switch rhea's theme to be celestial objects, like team meteor. here are the new names of her pokemon:

primarina: tsunami → aquarius

emphemeon: vespi → arche

toxeon: tox → indus

zirconeon: cavern → eris

kitsuneon: whisp → ara

jolteon: deluge → asterope

maneon: judo → titan

vaporeon: atlantis → kaitain

flareon: sol → unchanged; already fit the theme

eeveeon: wildcard → capricorn

umbreon: celes → unchanged

leafeon: spring → maia

bristleon: mirage → mira

glaceon: permafrost → sedna

hawkeon: cloudburst → alya

sylveon: sylvia → bellatrix

titaneon: cesi → australis

drekeon: nimbus → cepheus

espeon: koa → pyxis

arcanine: cinders → vela

lycanroc: rocky → hoku

alolatales: nèvè -> dione

delphox: unnamed → castra

i think these fit her better than not having a particular theme, plus it ties into her roots more

i probably will give her one to three legendaries from postgame, but i don't think she'll catch them officially. they just decided to hang around her. like the zeraora i can see just acting like her pokemon, but she will deny that it's officially hers and that it just likes her.

...and i am also considering giving rhea the reatomized eevees too. i'm getting attatched to them....

Here’s the thing, I love being outside.  I love all things nature – dirt, bugs (minus the ones that bite), wildlife, plants (minus the itchy ones), rain (oh, how I love the rain) – which should mean I love camping.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of camping – campfires, sleeping under the stars, showering infrequently (if at all), communing with friends or strangers over a S’more and wine  hot cocoa.  Yet, camping with kids seems to take a tad more effort than I would like to expend for a few nights in the woods.  Seriously, how many plastic tubs or bags does one family of 6 need to pack for two or three nights away?  Between the sleeping gear, the cooking gear, the food, the playing gear, the tents, the extra clothing for the chilly nights and the anticipated dirt, the bikes/trikes/scooters, the beach gear, and of course every last blessed toy and art supply in our house “just in case it rains” seem to end up in our minivan for our camping adventures.  It is simply exhausting packing for a camping trip.  Perhaps I am just not seasoned enough in the packing, but staying home in the comfort of our couches and beds and kitchen seems to be a much easier choice (but way less fun).  I love staying home, but adventuring to new places is typically our “go to” mode, so how can I mix my love of camping with lessening the crazy of getting us there?!  Answer:  A [eafl id=”1866″ name=”KOA Kampground” text=”KOA Kampground”]!

Alan and I stayed at our first KOA years ago (prior to children) in Colorado and simply fell in love with the experience.  We were on a two-week road trip to several National Parks and were mostly tent camping or sleeping in our car rental, but somewhere between [eafl id=”1867″ name=”Mesa Verde National Park” text=”Mesa Verde”] National Park and [eafl id=”1868″ name=”Great Sand Dunes National Park” text=”Great Sand Dunes National Park”], we came across a [eafl id=”1869″ name=”Alamosa KOA” text=”KOA”] that had one cabin left for the night – it was our mirage in the desert!  We agreed that when we had kids that we would camp at KOAs as often as we could!  I believe it was the first type of glamping.  Now, for those of you “true campers” go ahead and be haters (we have been rustic camping, so don’t hate too much).  KOA Kampgrounds DO typically have pools, running water, electricity, a convenience store, laundry facilities, bathrooms, cabins, and possibly other amenities that are very attractive to families (and couples who were really excited to NOT sleep in their car for another night)!  Although these campgrounds tend to have many more modernized amenities than other campgrounds, they do offer the typical camping ambiance with campfires, cooking over a fire, dirt (and lots of it), sites for tents and RVs, and the community of fellow campers who also love sitting under the stars each night.

Fast forward 12 years and our tribe has not used KOA Kampgrounds much like we had declared so many years before, until this past summer.  Our dearest friends, who also are a tribe of 6, asked us to join them for a Northern Michigan adventure in June to Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island (one of my most favorite places in the summer – post coming soon on all things Mackinac Island)!   The thought of 8 children and 4 adults packing our minivans for a 3-night camping adventure (the cost of hotels would have been outrageous) was daunting, but the kids were pumped to spend a few days with their besties running around like monsters from a scene out of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE.  In our search for the perfect campground, we came across the [eafl id=”1870″ name=”Mackinaw City KOA” text=”Mackinaw City KOA”].  The moment we set eyes on the adorable cabins, we knew we had found our camping home for our tribal vacation!

Upon arriving at the Mackinaw City KOA, we were greeted with warm smiles and an eagerness to ensure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay.  Seriously, some of the kindest people work at this KOA!  Our cabins were directly next to each other (which is always a bonus when traveling with others) AND just a short walk from the bathrooms, heated pool, and laundry (which we did not use because being dirty is fun)!  The big girls (there are 4 of them, 2 from each family) immediately started allocating where everyone was to sleep – these cabins were quite spacious with two sets of bunk beds, a double bed, and space for a pack n’ play!  There was space for every little body to rest his/her head at the end of our long days, heat for the chilly nights, and a fan to keep the air flowing!  A mini fridge in each cabin was an added bonus as well and came in handy with all the food 12 people would be consuming over 3 days!  The cabins were clean (until it rained and then we simply had mud everywhere), inviting, and just what this mama needed to make sure this was an enjoyable camping trip!  Of course, we did have our campfires, rain or shine (mostly rain), and enjoyed some adult beverages once the kids were all snuggled safely in their bunks long after the sun had gone down.  The kids enjoyed the playground, the biking trails that led directly to Mackinaw City, the mud when it rained, and playing games on the floor of the cabins during a storm.  At one point I wondered if we would have had more fun if we had brought the tents, but when I was still holding my hubby’s hand on our last day and still had a smile on my face as we drove away, I knew we had not missed out on one bit of fun staying in the cabins at the KOA!  My marriage was still intact and my children begged us to stay longer – this was a camping miracle!!  Thank you, Mackinaw City KOA for such a great slice of camping paradise!

Here are my MACKINAW CITY RECS…

Stay at the [eafl id=”1870″ name=”Mackinaw City KOA” text=”KOA”]!  It is just outside of the city, so you feel like you are in the woods for a true outdoors experience, but are close enough to the sights and activities Mackinaw City has to offer (and there are many)!  In fact, there is a bike trail that leads right into the city.  It took us about 30 minutes to ride into town with 8 children, during an approaching rainstorm!  Ha!  I could write more about this but just click on the link above to read about all you can get access to from this campground.  Mackinaw City is full of great Michigan history and adventures for all levels of enthusiasts!

Take a walk through the [eafl id=”1874″ name=”Mackinaw Crossings” text=”Mackinaw Crossings”] – there are little shops, a few restaurants, and activities to keep you busy for a couple of hours.  Our kids enjoyed the playground!  Definitely, stop at [eafl id=”1875″ name=”Kilwins” text=”Kilwins”] for a free sample of fudge before heading home!

Enjoy a meal at [eafl id=”1871″ name=”Dixie Saloon” text=”Dixie Saloon”] near the water.  It is a perfect place to bring 8 children, seriously!  There is a play area where they can run around while waiting for their meals and they can even write their names with Sharpies on the chairs!  Food was reasonably priced, a decent kids menu is available, and their steaks are delicious!

Find a little beach/park on the lake to get views of The Mighty Mac, St. Ignace and Mackinac Island.  There are several good spots.  Our favorite is just down the road from the Dixie Saloon on Langlade St. – the Gary R. Williams Memorial Park is perfect for pics with the Mackinaw Bridge and sunset in your backdrop!  Practice skipping stones, play in the sand, watch sailboats, or simply sit and be still.

Stop at [eafl id=”1876″ name=”Hunt’s Mackinaw Pastie & Cookie Co.” text=”Hunt’s Mackinaw Pastie & Cookie Co.”] for some of the best pasties you will find south of the bridge.  If you don’t know what a pastie is, think of a chicken pot pie crossed with a meat pie (either British or Australian), but less moist.  I enjoy a good pastie with ketchup on the side!  They are quite filling, so if you are on a budget, you will get good bang for your buck.

Like I said before, I could spend hours listing all the exciting ways to explore the surrounding area and learning about the rich history of Michigan, but I think you just need to see for yourselves!  Don’t forget to #[eafl id=”1877″ name=”Visit Pure Michigan” text=”visitpuremichigan”] on your next adventure!

Don’t forget to stay tuned for a few other posts about adventures in Northern Michigan!
