Here's yesterday's nest, courtesy of Northstar and Arabella, the former of which is now moving on and for sale for 30kt!
This was only their first nest, but they gave me a perfectly acceptable hatchling (baby #1), so I decided I don't need to nest them again.
The other four are available for purchase.

X-men short summarize. (Part one)
The relationship of Scott Summers and Madelyne Pryor.
Hello everybody today, I will be shortly summarizing some of the moments of the relationship and marriage of Madelyne Pryor and Scott summers (Cyclops) I will be going through issue #168 (skip 169)-176 at their honeymoon, enjoy the cutest relationship yet most complicated ever!
Uncanny x-men 168
Our story begins in Anchorage, Alaska(the birthplace of Scott Summers) the Summers family consisting of Scott, Alex (Brothers), and Christopher Summer(Father) arrive at the airport to meet Scott and Alex's grandparents. Suddenly Scott drops at the sight of a beautiful woman who has an uncanny similarity to Jean Grey saying she's there to pick up the Summers family. Scott is beyond shocked by her resemblance to Jean, his mind rushing with emotions and thoughts of who she is. The woman then formally introduces herself as Madelyne Pryor.
Uncanny x-men 170-
Off screen: Presumably the next few weeks the two meet and talk, slowly falling in love with each other, until Scott asks her to be his girlfriend.
The next time we see them is In Reindeer Falls, the new happy couple dance the night away. As they dance even when the music stops, being as happy as the couple could be.
But unfortunately, Scott doubts, and his mind rises up, The uncanny resemblance still bothering his mind of this woman he fell in love with. He starts pushing Madelyne away, feeling guilty for pursuing a new relationship. Madelyne, seemingly concerned, and worried about her new partner asks what's wrong and Scott tells her about Jean, even pulling a picture of his old lover to his new lover, and handing it to her, this revaluation shocks Madelyne, as she sees a woman who looks like her, She then starts to take it in, affecting her a bit from the photograph.
Scott decides his feelings for Madelyne are real and he wants to be with her, enjoying her company, maybe it's time for him to move on. After a few more moments of silence, the two reconnect, with Madelyne, asking if the bond growing between them is actually real or not. They decide to start dancing again.
Cutscene to Madelyne and Scott, having a more intimate moment, and the sun flashing, in Madelyne's face, she attempts to steal Scott's shades, with Scott quickly reacting defensively, smacking her hand, and quivering away. This enraged Madelyne, and quickly demanded answers from Scott saying they knew each other for weeks yet she still hadn't seen him without those shades! Scott finally though hesitantly tells Madelyne that he is a mutant and shows her his optic blast power by shooting a coin, he asks her if she still wants to stay with him in she responds for him to stay with her as they hug it out in the end.
Uncanny X-men 171
In her home in Alaska Madelyne is struggling in her sleep, soon she awakes from a terrible nightmare, one that makes her tear up, and calls for Scott for an embrace that could comfort her nightmares. After a bit of comfort, she explains that she was dreaming about a plane crash she survived. Everyone else on board died, and she was the sole survivor of the crash, but there was a key detail Madelyne added which bewildered Scott, raising further suspicion he had. The plane crashed not just on the same day, but at the same moment that Jean Grey died!
Uncanny X-Men 172
Scott with his suspicion growing off the charts, sneaks into his grandfather's office in the Northstar airlines and digs through files filled with North Star employees' information. He has found Madelyne Pryor's file. He believes Madelyne is more connected to Jean Grey since more and more moments are happening for him to believe this cause, like their first date when she said she read minds or her refusal to talk about her past. Scott's brother, Alex, shows up asking what Scott is doing and asking him if it's worth destroying the relationship he has with Madelyne, in which Scott reeks of desperation and demands the truth about this woman.

Power Metal reddit currently has a discussion about Nuclear Blast, about what has changed with them and why, and man I have learned a lot of disturbing facts about what has happened there in the past 5 years. Someone posted an in-depth investigative article about it (from November 2021), which you should read if you speak German and are interested, otherwise or if it's too long here are the main points...
If you're into Nightwish, Sabaton, Blind Guardian etc., this is relevant information.
In 2018, the French Believe Music, which is a large corporation that mainly specializes in digital distribution, became majority owner of NB
Believe is not really interested in physical media like CDs and vinyls even though the people who worked at NB told their new corporate overlords that metal fans like physical media, both because many fans of especially the oldest and most successful bands are 50+ and because it's more ingrained in the subculture. Believe doesn't care and doesn't listen. They have their experiences from pop and hip-hop, where phone-based streaming subscriptions are the norm, and that's all they want to know. They are also ignoring printed magazines and don't advertise there much anymore.
Less focus on physical media means that bands now earn less, that they rank less highly in album charts, which in turn means that they lose negotiation power when they try to plan tours and negotiate with venues etc., because they "look" less successful
Believe has been dealing with this by signing mainly bands that are easy to market digitally and ending co-operations with bands that aren't, even ones that had been with NB for decades (like Rage and Nile, who went to Napalm)
The personal cooperation between bands and NB has really suffered, everything is more profit-oriented and impersonal, a lot of budgets have been decreased and the real decisions are made by Believe in Paris, not by any specific NB team
Believe has been stock market traded since 2021. Their stock value went down at first, was at about the price it had started out at when the article was written - I looked it up and in March 23 it's down 40% from its original value. Ouch.
The original founder of NB started a new label, Atomic Fire, and took "Amorphis, Helloween, Opeth, Sonata Arctica, Meshuggah, Primal Fear, Agnostic Front, Rise Of The Northstar, Silver Lake, White Stones and Michael Schenker Group" with him, also because Believe didn't really do much to keep many of these bands
It's certainly interesting to learn about, also because I had already wondered if NB, and some of their bands, had intentionally taken a more "commercial" approach in recent years, but I didn't know about the Believe thing. I thought it maybe had something to do with losses from the pandemic or something. Turns out they have a new owner.

So I’m sure I’m the last to notice this, but I feel the need to just point out the insane parallels in season 2, particularly between Sarah and Juno Steel with regard to Jack/Ramses. The acceptance of help, finding someone with whom they can be themselves, who is willing to help them become better than they are. The steady rise, both in Northstar and in the PI business; the feeling of being empowered to make something great. The eventual downfall, the sense of betrayal, the veritable destruction of a rock that was so solid turning into tissue paper.
I love the difference in their journeys. Sarah fought so hard to get back what she lost, or maybe she gave up on Andromeda and settled on her own anger to sustain her. Juno, though, he uses his anger not to focus on bringing back what he had- his eye, Oldtown- he uses it to make his life livable again. He adapts.
Did he do that because he recognizes that Hyperion city, the universe, is more important than his grudge? That maybe Sarah Steel simply didn’t have a big enough slice of universe to think it worth changing for?
Maybe it was because he didn’t want to be Sarah. Maybe it was because he’s just different.
All I know is that he made a different choice. And for better or worse, it made his life livable again.

First flight to Canada
Rating- mature
Warnings- unconsensual drug usage
Blurb- Canada's mutant premier superhero team, Alpha Flight, powered on the dangerous mutant drug Banshee attack the Xhavier's school. After an easy defeat Jean-Paul finds himself trapped on a plane with the dangerous group. It's clear they still care but this world pushes many heroes to do things they never thought they would.
There’s a sheen of sweat glistening off Jean-Paul's forehead as he sits on the jet’s cold flooring, his knees pulled up to his chest, his chin resting upon them. His sister, Aurora, kneels beside him, one hand clutching his shoulder. His shirt moving with each frantic beat of his heart. The sweat and racing heart weren’t caused by exhaustion. He’d still been trembling behind the X-Men, feet glued to the ground when his sister had scooped him into the air. The rest of the X-men hadn’t put up much of a fight either, letting Alpha Flight knock them around like a cat would a mouse.
Guilt swirls around James’ stomach watching his younger teammate look so defeated. He had never wanted things to come to this, stealing one of his own people from the X-Men, and using a drug like Banshee to power his team. He had always believed that mutants deserved to live on their own terms, without interference from humans. But desperate times called for desperate measures, and James knew that Department H had poured too much funding into Northstar to let him leave their programme. Either Alpha Flight had to retrieve him or someone else would.
In the background, James can hear the humming of the engine as the jet rises, half-drowned out by Jubilee and Snowbird’s tiresome bickering. Soon they’ll be sailing over the vast landscape of Canada, far enough away to avoid any possible retaliation from the X-men.
Jean Paul’s sat quietly, not a single word escaping his lips. He looks pitiful, his dark hair dishevelled, caged in between James, his sister and the rest of the team. Still, he’s leaning into Aurora’s hand on his shoulder, James is glad to see even betrayal can’t shatter their sibling bond. Hopefully, it’s a relationship they can call upon in the future if he needs persuading their way.
"How’s your brother, Aurora?" James asks.
"He's ready to go North," Aurora replied stiffly, her eyes never leaving her brother's form, conflict plastering her face. Shuffling forward, syringe in hand she continues, "Let me just give him a little something to help him settle."
James drops to their level, gently holding Jean-Paul down, although the mutant wasn't struggling. In fact, he pliantly allows his arm to be manipulated, till the crook of his elbow is laid bare. His eyes turn away as the needle slips into his skin. With his increased metabolism the drug would make him drowsy but still conscious.
Holding him, James notices goosebumps have risen up on his arms. Which makes sense, the jet’s always cold and whilst the rest of the team are protected by their suits Jean-Paul is dressed like a civilian. One out for a summer's day walk with shorts and beaten-up trainers on. So far the team had avoided calling him Northstar, for right now Jean-Paul looked as much like Northstar as the day looked like the night.
When the body in his arms relaxes, tense muscles uncoiling, James finds himself comforting, ‘’We'll do everything we can to make sure you're comfortable. Alpha Flight needs your powers to save lives, but we’re not going to hurt you. I promise." Jean Paul's eyes glaze over, drooping half closed but they’re aimed at Hudson as he speaks. ‘’We’re going to protect all mutants. Mutants like Piotr.‘’
‘’Don’t use his name. Not after what you just did to them.’’
James is grateful he still has some fire left. ‘’None of the X-men were hurt. We gave them the chance to hand you over.’’
‘’Why me? All of the mutants around now and you decide to come after me.’’
‘’We’ve got our reasons. We’ll explain when we get you back to Department H.’’ From behind him Aurora enters James' field of vision. Quietly she pulls Jean-Paul's arms in front of him, securing them there as James locks the cuffs on. They were designed by Department H years ago, the type that straps his arms together, rendering the captive immobile. They’re connected to a collar, injecting a liquified power dampener every twenty minutes, Jean-Paul winces as the first jab hits him. Maybe it was overkill, James thought. They could overpower him easily, especially with banshee coursing through their veins. But James didn't want to take any chances. Northstar was a valuable asset, and they couldn't risk losing him.
Sighing James wraps a blanket around his thin frame, tugging it up as it slips down. "Rest easy, my friend," James says, rubbing Northstar's shoulder gently. "Everything is going to work out. I promise." Taking a last glance at their captive James gets back onto his feet, and makes his way to the front of the plane. Lives were at stake, and Alpha Flight needed recruits. Nothing could stop them from saving the world and their kind, even if it meant they would have to chip away at themselves to do what needed to be done.
