Team Ford goes Godzilla on the waterfront: this ain't your grandpa's conservatism
I’ve tried to avoid the easy snark in reaction to Doug Ford’s musings about turning what’s left of Toronto’s waterfront into a megamall-themed, monorail-adorned, Ferris-wheel-festooned amusement park. It doesn’t do any good, after all, to get all riled up and turn into indignant sputtering caricatures of Left-Wing Kooks every time Brother Doug has a brain fart. But it turns out it wasn’t just a…

Resting overnight, before he continued his quest for the light and warmth which he was convinced could be found somewhere deep in the heart of the winter darkness, Algy had a black, black dream, in which all was shadow but the "lucid line" and "dubious ray" which "wavering reason lends in life's long darkling way"…
When he woke, Algy guessed that many of his human friends might well have been experiencing similar dreams on that particularly black night, and he wondered what he could possibly do to help them, for he knew that he was only a daft fluffy bird, lost somewhere in the wilderness of the wild west Highlands of Scotland…
But suddenly, as the new day began to dawn, Algy remembered that one of those friends, who only the day before had reblogged one of his adventures, had added a comment to that post which started "A bit of whimsy from a storybook land brings a smile to me on this anxious day…"
And then Algy knew what to do, for it was the only thing that a daft fluffy bird could possibly do… He would continue to try his best to bring a smile to the faces of all his friends – and to strangers too – with his wee "bit of whimsy from a storybook land", in the hope that it might provide some faint rays of light in the encroaching darkness:
Huge vapours brood above the clifted shore, Night on the ocean settles dark and mute, Save where is heard the repercussive roar Of drowsy billows on the rugged foot Of rocks remote; or still more distant tone Of seamen in the anchored bark that tell The watch relieved; or one deep voice alone Singing the hour, and bidding ‘Strike the bell!’ All is black shadow but the lucid line Marked by the light surf on the level sand, Or where afar the ship-lights faintly shine Like wandering fairy fires, that oft on land Misled the pilgrim – such the dubious ray That wavering reason lends in life’s long darkling way.
[Algy is quoting the poem Written near a Port on a Dark Evening by the 18th century English writer Charlotte Smith.]

will not lie there is something soooooo personal about percico who kind of part ways post series only to stumble into each other later in life when nico’s confident and knows who he is but percy’s still floundering (hehe) and trying to figure out who he is when he isn’t a Capital H Hero and saving the world all the time. like nico leaves camp like he said he would but grows out of his self loathing on his own. bwaaaahhhh
#.txt#pjo#nico di angelo#percy jackson#percico#aka kiss a boy in tokyo town. i would read 5 million fics with that premise or something similar#once again rotating my nico runs away to alaska and becomes a barista at a shitty shack by the sea port and percy becomes a fisherman#slash does anything boat related. and when he comes back to land one day he goes for a coffee and they run into each other#nico as a bitchy gay barista au save me. nico as a bitchy gay barista au. save me nico as a bitchy gay barista au.#orrrr goth scene nico…bwah!

Notes on the World Map: Melini
I'm kind of annoyed the complete World Bible doesn't have a version of the World Map with Melini filled in... unless it does and I missed it, but I literally bought it and looked at the relevant pages for this post! Anyway, I think this is the closest we have. I'm looking at this and -- Kahka Brud literally doesn't have a coast anymore. No wonder they're pissed!! Any industry involving the sea, trade, fishing, etc. is basically impossible now - you'd have to get to the coastline on the west side of the continent. That's probably miles!
Speaking of miles... how big is Melini?
This is where I got... really unwell. So first off, let's assume the official Dunmeshi World Map is a Mercator projection. I think the stage cartography in the Dunmeshi universe is at, it's going to be most important that maps are useful for marine navigation. So we can't just drop an approximate scale onto the grid and leave it at that; we have to work out where the equator is.
The way I've done that is via two places that seem like they have a close(ish) real world equivalent - in terms of climate and culture - Utaya and the Island of Wa (Toshiro's home). The Island of Wa is obviously Japan, and I've seen plausible arguments that Utaya is probably a climate/location similar to Nepal.
So, here's the (approximate) location and latitude of those places on a Mercator map of Earth:
If we arbitarily superimpose the two maps, asssuming they're the same size, we can draw a theoretical equator line that puts the two places at the same latitude, though on a different side of the equator. Putting them on the same side as Earth made the equator really low. I feel like that's ... unlikely, so we're going with this.
That puts Melini at a rough latitude of .. ~55? which would, using the same scale as the previous map, make two squares (at that latitude) about 600 miles. Very roughly calculating the size as given on the map based on that, that gives a width of (approximately) 250 miles and a length of 400, coming in at a bit less than 100,000 miles² due to the shape. Probably it's between the sizes of the UK and Aotearoa.
That really helps me visualise what Laios is working with here when I think about post-canon. Though I reckon what I've done here is "Just enough research to really annoy an expert". Sorry if you're that expert. I really don't know much about cartography <3 It's like that xkcd comic:
On distances, as someone who lives in the UK; with a car, you can get almost anywhere in a day if you're prepared to drive until late. But they don't have cars, so getting from one end to the other would take multiple days of travel. It'd take about 7 days to walk the approx "length", 400~ miles (from the top of Scotland to Liverpool) (according to Google Maps) and 2 days cycling, so probably 3-5 days with horses, depending on how you pushed them. That'd vary a bit depending on terrain, of course.

now that i think about it the empire probably developed those anti-droid ports from rebels because of echo
#star wars#tbb#the bad batch#tbb s3#tbb echo#sw rebels#redbean talks#between rex knowing all the passwords and landing codes (that the empire did not change apparently? despite rex and cody#having both a) written the codes and b) very prominently deserted)#and echo running around droiding into all the secure terminals#i'm sure imperial IT had anti-droid ports at the top of their priority list

Takashi Shirogane is a free man.
...probably.
If he's being honest, he's kind of at a loss as to what's going on. The Galra kid that's been talking to him after his matches all this week helped him break out of the ship he was being held in. Which is great! But it's also confusing. It's somehow both less and more confusing when they pull down their hood and the mask that's been covering the lower half of the face to reveal they look... almost human.
Almost. The eyes are definitely Galra.
He takes him back to what Shiro can only describe as some kind of delinquent's hideout. There's other Galra there, who look as bewildered by his presence as Shiro feels. There's some rapid fire discussion between the maybe human kid and the Galra that Shiro can't even begin to follow.
Then the kid turns to him, and in broken English, asks him if he can take him back to Earth if he gets him a ship. Shiro knows a ticket home when he sees one, so he agrees. He needs to get back and warn everyone about the Galra.
The kid seems satisfied with that. Someone scrounges up Shiro a change of clothes. Over the course of a few hours, he learns that the kid he's been talking to is a.) half-human and b.) his name is Keith.
(He has another name the Galra gave him, but he doesn't use it anymore.)
They make plans to steal a ship. Keith's delinquent friends (they really are a gang of delinquent teens) helps them secure it. Shiro still has so many questions.
At least he has all the time in the world to ask them now.
#port brat au#shiro: see. I thought I got used to having no idea what's going on. but I have no idea what's going on#he's distracted enough he somehow entirely forgets he's going to have to explain Keith when he lands back on earth
