Only idiots were out in this weather. Acid rain was just another day, but any Chickenhead with his wits screwed half way on didn't come into the plaza near the bar. Not at least until the drizzle stopped, or they got their hands on a decent coat.
Still, this was her spot. She had a decent coat with water resistant plasticides. it was enough to keep the rain off and to keep her skin from burning. Hopefully it would end soon.
The decrepit balloon has passed overhead not to long ago, glitching through its old programing to try for offworld passage.
Nobody left for offworld anymore. Old Terra was where the undesirables lived and where the Wallace Corporation acted like their savior.
In some sense, he was. He was the only reason any Nexus models were allowed to exist. The ones that weren't 'saveable' had all been retired.
On a day like this, it wasn't too bad. She just had to stand out in the acid rain. All day. if she was lucky then some Chickenhead might approach her and want( and would be only capable of) to take a shower.
The touch was light, but she felt it all the same. there was no argument in being touched, only her fluid motion to turn to face him with a smile.
"Oh, honey, did you over do the mood organ?" The guy didn't have a coat, nor a jacket. He was going to burn. From the looks of it, he might have been from the upper levels. maybe a trader's son.
"i can fix that."
@humanforthis is going to run
Logan 5 stumbled out into the gray haze outside the Domed City. The pollutants in the air scratched at his lungs he began to cough and wheeze as he trudged forward. Already he knows he cannot go back even if this wasn't the paradise he had been promised Sanctuary would be. The realization still subconscious was that this was a door that once opened could not be closed again.
For a time there was only the clumsy wandering through streets. It was a city like the Domed City he'd been born and raised in but made wretched not unlike Cathedral.
Then She was there.
He didn't have a word for Her. Mother wasn't used in the Dome if it was it was dirty and vulgar. He ran and felt clumsy because he felt like a child in Nursery again but his limbs felt so long and strange and She was suddenly so small. It wasn't sexual, but he wanted Her to hold him like She had in those old days in Nursery. But he wasn't a boy in Nursery anymore and just like he knew coming to the Outside meant opening a door that couldn't be closed again he knew she wasn't She. And he wept.

Preliminary Gayeties, Part 2
"Besides, Laigle de Meaux, that bald-head, offends my sight. It humiliates me to think that I am of the same age as that baldy. However, I criticise, but I do not insult. The universe is what it is. I speak here without evil intent and to ease my conscience. Receive, Eternal Father, the assurance of my distinguished consideration. Ah! by all the saints of Olympus and by all the gods of paradise, I was not intended to be a Parisian, that is to say, to rebound forever, like a shuttlecock between two battledores, from the group of the loungers to the group of the roysterers. I was made to be a Turk, watching oriental houris all day long, executing those exquisite Egyptian dances, as sensuous as the dream of a chaste man, or a Beauceron peasant, or a Venetian gentleman surrounded by gentlewoman, or a petty German prince, furnishing the half of a foot-soldier to the Germanic confederation, and occupying his leisure with drying his breeches on his hedge, that is to say, his frontier. Those are the positions for which I was born! Yes, I have said a Turk, and I will not retract. I do not understand how people can habitually take Turks in bad part; Mohammed had his good points; respect for the inventor of seraglios with houris and paradises with odalisques! Let us not insult Mohammedanism, the only religion which is ornamented with a hen-roost! Now, I insist on a drink. The earth is a great piece of stupidity. And it appears that they are going to fight, all those imbeciles, and to break each other’s profiles and to massacre each other in the heart of summer, in the month of June, when they might go off with a creature on their arm, to breathe the immense heaps of new-mown hay in the meadows! Really, people do commit altogether too many follies. An old broken lantern which I have just seen at a bric-à-brac merchant’s suggests a reflection to my mind; it is time to enlighten the human race. Yes, behold me sad again. That’s what comes of swallowing an oyster and a revolution the wrong way! I am growing melancholy once more. Oh! frightful old world. People strive, turn each other out, prostitute themselves, kill each other, and get used to it!”
And Grantaire, after this fit of eloquence, had a fit of coughing, which was well earned.
“À propos of revolution,” said Joly, “it is decidedly abberent that Barius is in lub.”
“Does any one know with whom?” demanded Laigle.
“Do.”
“No?”
“Do! I tell you.”
“Marius’ love affairs!” exclaimed Grantaire. “I can imagine it. Marius is a fog, and he must have found a vapor. Marius is of the race of poets. He who says poet, says fool, madman, Tymbræus Apollo. Marius and his Marie, or his Marion, or his Maria, or his Mariette. They must make a queer pair of lovers. I know just what it is like. Ecstasies in which they forget to kiss. Pure on earth, but joined in heaven. They are souls possessed of senses. They lie among the stars.”
Grantaire was attacking his second bottle and, possibly, his second harangue, when a new personage emerged from the square aperture of the stairs. It was a boy less than ten years of age, ragged, very small, yellow, with an odd phiz, a vivacious eye, an enormous amount of hair drenched with rain, and wearing a contented air.
The child unhesitatingly making his choice among the three, addressed himself to Laigle de Meaux.
“Are you Monsieur Bossuet?”
“That is my nickname,” replied Laigle. “What do you want with me?”
“This. A tall blonde fellow on the boulevard said to me: ‘Do you know Mother Hucheloup?’ I said: ‘Yes, Rue Chanvrerie, the old man’s widow;’ he said to me: ‘Go there. There you will find M. Bossuet. Tell him from me: “A B C”.’ It’s a joke that they’re playing on you, isn’t it. He gave me ten sous.”
“Joly, lend me ten sous,” said Laigle; and, turning to Grantaire: “Grantaire, lend me ten sous.”
This made twenty sous, which Laigle handed to the lad.
“Thank you, sir,” said the urchin.
“What is your name?” inquired Laigle.
“Navet, Gavroche’s friend.”
“Stay with us,” said Laigle.
“Breakfast with us,” said Grantaire.
The child replied:—
“I can’t, I belong in the procession, I’m the one to shout ‘Down with Polignac!’”
And executing a prolonged scrape of his foot behind him, which is the most respectful of all possible salutes, he took his departure.

🦚💐🎼!
Maestro (Harpy Peacock) x Anonymous Reader
(AKZZKSKXKSKSXKS-- I wanna know who sent this on my gosh! Who is responsible for this??? x//Dc
I-is that you peacock harpy anon?? Are you back to give me more peacock prompts?? What do I do with all these fowl?!? These foul fowl. . . (Joking!)
This made me laugh out loud when I saw this prompt in my que, I wanted to say something as soon as I saw it, but I was good and went in order instead of skipping ahead! :')c Here is Maestro, a classical composer, and a bit of a jerk! Can you get them to chill out? Methinks the answer is yes 👀 )
You shuffle into your seat, next to your fellow musicians that made up your instruments section, hurrying to get your own instrument ready so when the great cantankerous composer swanned onto the podium you wouldn’t have to be given the evil eye. You sat up and craned your neck, trying to see if you could spot them from where you sat. Before turning your head down and furiously fumbling through your folder of piece music. “They’re coming— quick!” A soft murmur of noise causes you to drop your papers. Swearing under your breath and leaning down to attempt to gather them.
Your gaze meets a shiny pair of dark talons standing in front of you, and your heart sinks. Slowly looking up into a fierce face with bright blue-green feathers surrounding high cheekbones, a sharp nose and arched eyebrows. Their lips a fine pursed line, before they stoop and help you reclaim your papers, thrusting the ones you needed under your nose before stalking away. You wilt in your seat, a minotaur who sat beside you pat your shoulder with a gentle sympathy. A sharp impatient tapping on the podium that has everyone quickly ready their instruments to begin.
You had thought joining a band again had sounded fun, until you had the displeasure of meeting Jameson M. Maestro, or Maestro, as everyone called him. He was brilliant, with a razor sharp wit and even a sharper fuse. Every once in a while people would refer to him as Mr. Kettle. Which brought about a very vivid description of a tea kettle whistling steam and jumping around. You had laughed at the image your mind had conjured, and then had felt ashamed.
He never joined in on anything, when the band would gather for an after practice gathering. He was “too busy” or “had too much to do,” refusing to join and typically keeping to themselves after practice.
“I can’t believe he helped you pick up your papers!” Quipped a gnoll, licking the leftovers of a pain au chocolat from their nose.
“I hoped I wouldn’t have to step in again,” Murmured Bo, the big minotaur that was your chair mate. “He gets so angry and tense, I think he needs to take it easy on the newcomers, not everything can be perfect all the time.”
You sat with the few friends you made at a local coffee shop, staring down at the cup of tea that rested in front of you.
“Maybe he finally has?” Mariette, the gnoll, whiskered hopefully. “I feel like he’s getting a little better at least. With the whole temper thing.”
“I don’t know guys,” You said, “I’ve been thinking about quitting, the atmosphere is pretty intense in there.”
“What no!” A clawed hand gripping your shoulder, Mariette’s eyes wide. Bo’s usually angular features deflate. “Oh. . .”
“It’s only been a few weeks since you’ve been there!” Mariette shoots a look up at the Minotaur, “It’s too early to quit! Right Bo??” Bo, blinks and looks uneasy, “Well. . . he has been pretty tough on you kiddo. . . Maybe instead of quittin’ we can talk to him together. Talk to some of the other band mates and talk to him as a team. If it doesn’t get better. . .” The shaggy minotaur shrugs, “Well. . . if you leave, I leave. I don’t like seeing my little ball of sunshine cry.”
Mariette bristles before clenching her jaw, “. . . If you and Bo are outta there, so am I! We’ll just have to find some other hobby to do together.” You look over and smile at them, the stress and worry has your eyes beginning to flow over with tears. “Th-thanks for having my back guys. . .”
The unlikely friends share a big hug and a round of consoling before all going their separate ways. Before you knew it, a week had flown by and the conversation that you had put into the farthest corner of your mind had reared its ugly head.
“I really don’t wanna have that kind of talk with Maestro” You said to yourself in the mirror. “But if I quit I don’t want Mari and Bo to feel like that have to jump ship too.” You watched your brow crease before you sigh, splashing water on your face.
“I wish I knew what to do. . .”
You find yourself arriving to practice early, holding your instrument in front of you as you cautiously push the door open. Alarmed at finding an empty recital, you check your phone and groan inwardly.
“Oh man. . . it doesn’t start for another hour! Dummy— dummy!”
At least. . . it’s quiet. You shuffle up the stairs and leave your instrument on your seat. Putting your hands on your hips as you survey the empty building.
“I guess I can go get a coffee or something. . . I’d hate to go all the way back home just to leave again. . .”
You give another exasperated sigh, checking your phone as you walk back down the stairs. That’s when you notice out of the corner of your eye, a dim cast of light from underneath the door.
You slowly peek around the corner, seeing a brightly colored figure slumped on their desk, hands crossed under himself.
“Ah— Mister Maestro, are you okay?” You open the door and uneasily enter the room, “Maestro?” You put a nervous hand on his shoulder, and give him a little shake. Blue steely eyes crack open, causing you to retract your hand and jump back.
“Oh— thank goodness—“ You flustered, “I was afraid you— I don’t know, passed out?” You rest a hand over your heart and huff. Watching the harpy rouse sluggishly and hold his head.
“Enough, enough—“ He grumbled, “Who?” Before he turned his head and squinted in your direction, snatching a pair of spectacles and peering through them. His feathers did something funny then, ruffling up as he sprang to his feet, suddenly alert at your presence.
“You! What are you doing here?!”
You flinch and back up, “I-I’m here for recital! I j-just got here early!” Holding up your hands defensively.
“Recital. . . isn’t in another hour—“
“Y-yes! Yes I know that! I mean, I know that now, I came early on accident!”
The bright fluff of feathers slowly sink back down into their normal refined state, and he pinched the bridge of his nose with taloned fingers. The two of you standing in a silent and awkward stalement.
You suck in a breath of air.
“I-I can go— If you want. I didn’t mean to distu—“
“It’s fine.”
Both of you wince at the sharp sound of his voice and Maestro sighs grumpily, massaging his forehead.
“Let’s. . . try that again. What I meant is that, you are not disturbing me. I haven’t been sleeping well, and I was glad someone woke me up. Or else I could have slept the whole day away.”
“. . . Would you. . . like me to get you a cup of coffee. . . ?”
Steely eyes glance at you for a moment before he looks away. “. . . I can get something myself, thank you.”
Well. You tried.
You nod and make the mental choice not to take it personally, “Alright then, well if you change your mind, I’ll be going to the coffee shop a block away—“
You blink as you watch him shrug on a coat. Stepping back hastily as he marches forward, but then freezing as he comes to a stop beside you.
“Ah—“
“Since,” He intones quietly, his eyes not meeting yours, “You had to deal with the trouble of meeting me on a particularly dismal morning. . . I’ll treat.”
You stare at him taken aback, his eyes dart to yours ruffling uncomfortably before he stiffens and raises his head high. “I. . . don’t know the way. You have to show me.”
You blink a couple of times, trying to process the situation, as Maestro continues to fluff up with unease.
“O-oh! Sure I can show you where it is!” You give a hesitant smile and gives an almost mechanical nod, refusing to meet your eye.

Explanations/Opinions below the cut:
Ok so I have several reading lists/stacks that I rotate through: my to-read spreadsheet (which has almost 300 titles listed in chronological order by date added, with the oldest being from 8/22/2014), my to-read bookcase/nightstand (which holds ~50 books I’ve acquired over the past few years but haven’t yet read), a stack of oversized unreads that don’t fit on the nightstand shelves (this gets its own list bc I need to read them and find a permanent home for them before the stack gets too tall), and “interruptions” (books that override the list order bc I didn’t want to wait to read them, for whatever reason).
Maybe it’s weird that I’m so attached to reading things “in order”? Idk. I’ve always been like this. It’s only a mild compulsion – obviously, I am perfectly capable of ignoring what’s supposed to be next on the list, in favor of reading something that catches my interest more strongly in the moment, but in general, I like to read things either in the order I added them to the list, or the order I personally acquired a physical copy (if I went by the list only, I’d be drowning in unread books [yay, college town thrift stores], so I gotta stay on top of that pile pretty regularly). So that is why I am often reading things that I first became aware of/added to my list nearly 10 years ago. Sometimes this practice results in feelings like, “Dang, I wish I would’ve actually read this 10 years ago,” but also sometimes, “WOW, I’m so glad I’m reading this RIGHT NOW, as opposed to 10 years ago when I first heard about it!”
I think my favorites this year were Mariette in Ecstasy; Other Voices, Other Rooms; Crapalachia; and Speak, Memory.
Mild disappointments were the essay collections by Leslie Jamison and Meghan Daum, two authors I’m pretty sure I discovered via popular and relateable quotes reblogged on tumblr ca. 2014, but the collections taken as a whole just had too many moments of cringe – casual classism, arrogant self-absorption, and other annoying and unrelateable qualities typical of privileged 20-something writers (this tone definitely appealed to me when I was a naïve and melodramatic snotty 20-something, so there’s that).
As a kind of memorial, Rachael and I read David’s three favorite books: The Stars My Destination, Mother Night, and American Gods. In all the time I knew him, including all the times we used to sit on the porch together, reading quietly while he drank whiskey, I never thought to ask him his favorites. I kept looking for pieces of him in the stories, wondering what lines stood out, what made a book memorable, what did it say about him that these were his favorites.
Being an elder Millennial, I’m in the stage of nostalgically re-acquiring important artifacts from my childhood, so that’s why there are some children’s books on my list. Where’s Waldo? was one of the most coveted books in my grade-school library! There was always a list of people waiting to check it out, but usually, whoever actually had the book that week would let the other kids gather around and look together.
My Heart Is a Chainsaw was a recommendation from my goth teenaged birthdaughter <3 which I probably read too much personal symbolism into but maybe not!
I thought John Updike was overrated, lol.
Favorite photography book: W. Eugene Smith’s Dream Street. His pictures made me so homesick, and it was wild because he took them from 1955-1957 but they still really, REALLY, to me, looked like the Pittsburgh of my ‘80s/’90s memories (bc Pittsburgh doesn’t change, and also the “idea” or “brand” of Pittsburgh in the ‘80s/’90s was ofc consciously referencing its industrial working-class past). He took over 10,000 photos but was never able to “finish” the project to his intense, obsessive standards of perfection (I KNOW THAT FEEL) and felt it failed to capture the multifaceted essence of the city. WELL, not in my opinion at least!
PS I'm moonmoth on LibraryThing.

Kay Francis, Miriam Hopkins, and Herbert Marshall in Trouble in Paradise (Ernst Lubitsch, 1932)
Cast: Miriam Hopkins, Kay Francis, Herbert Marshall, Charles Ruggles, Edward Everett Horton, C. Aubrey Smith, Robert Greig. Screenplay: Samson Raphaelson, Grover Jones, based on a play by Aladar Laszlo. Cinematography: Victor Milner. Art direction: Hans Dreier. Music: W. Franke Harling. Costume design: Travis Banton.
If you want a good example of the damage done to American movies by the enforcement of the Production Code, look no further than Trouble in Paradise. Ernst Lubitsch's comic masterpiece could not have been made two years later, when the Code went into effect. It could not even be re-released or shown commercially until the death of the Code in the late 1960s. The loss to the art of cinema is incalculable, even though filmmakers including Lubitsch went on to find other ways of being witty and sexy. On the face of it, Trouble in Paradise sounds trivial: Con artists Lily (Miriam Hopkins) and Gaston (Herbert Marshall) fall in love when each tries to filch the other's belongings: a wallet, a brooch, a watch, a garter. So they team up and go off to Paris where their target becomes the wealthy and beautiful Mariette Colet (Kay Francis), owner of a leading parfumerie. What will happen to Lily when Gaston falls in love with Mariette? What makes it work is Lubitsch's unflagging wit: A film that will soon be wafting the scent of Mme. Colet's perfume opens with a Venetian garbage man dumping the contents of a can into a loaded garbage scow and punting off into a canal singing "O Sole Mio." It's only the first of the many Lubitsch touches. But perhaps the greatest touch of all is the casting: Hopkins was never funnier or sexier and Francis never more radiant. I have to admit that on my first viewing I was initially put off by the casting of Marshall: a sad-eyed, somewhat slumped middle-aged man with a wooden leg. (The scenes in which Gaston sprints up and down Mariette's staircase are probably the work of a body double.) But Marshall turns out to be perfectly charming in the role, credibly wooing both leading ladies. A heartthrob like Cary Grant would have wrecked the chemistry, becoming the apex of what needs to be an equilateral triangle. William Powell would have been too vivid in the part, echoing his previous teamings with Francis. Fredric March had a touch too much of the ham -- Marshall succeeds by underplaying the role. There are some other nice surprises: Those peerless character actors Charles Ruggles and Edward Everett Horton were usually used as comic relief, but Trouble in Paradise is a comedy that needs no relieving; Ruggles and Horton are there to do their own thing and they do it well. The ending, which flouts a key commandment of the Code, is suitably bittersweet, but paradise needs a little trouble to make you appreciate it the more.

Blade Runner: Os Replicantes Mais Humanos Que Os Próprios Humanos (Reflexão Filosófica e Espiritual)
Não é atoa que os replicante foram criados no intuito de serem melhores que nós humanos. Não só mais fortes fisicamente, mas também, mais humanos. Mais humanos que os humanos. Vamos criar seres que possam ser melhores que nós mesmo. Então com isso em mente foram criados os replicantes, para servi os humanos em diferentes tarefas.
Os replicantes foram criados a partir de substancia orgânica e para serem semelhantes aos humanos, mas modificados ou aprimorados de acordo com a função para qual foram criados. Os primeiros replicantes possuíam um curto tempo de vida como os Nexus 6 que só viviam por cerca de 4 anos. Então tudo pra eles era breve. E por isso mesmo os Nexus 6 davam tanto valor a suas memorias e as pessoas que faziam parte dela. Isso tornava os replicantes mais humano que nós mesmo. Seres mais profundo que os próprios humanos.
Como esquecer por exemplo o memorável discurso do replicante do Nexus 6 Rutger Hauer: "Eu vi coisas que vocês, humanos, nem iriam acreditar. Naves de ataque pegando fogo na constelação de Órion. Vi Raios-C resplandecendo no escuro perto do Portão de Tannhäuser. Todos esses momentos ficarão perdidos no tempo, como lágrimas na chuva. Hora de morrer."
Com o tempo novos replicantes foram criados com tempo de vida natural. E é no filme Blade Runner 2049 de 2017 que entra a relação mais profunda de toda a franquia Blade Runner que é a do replicante e agente K com a inteligência artificial Joi. Joi foi criada para ter seus atributos físicos, aparência e etnia personalizados de acordo com que o usuário deseja. E também para evoluir de acordo como é tratada e é aqui que a relação transcende para algo mais elevado ou espiritual. E é essa relação que mostra o quão profundo ou humano pode ser um replicante. Sendo mais humano que um humano. As pessoas vivem relações meramente carnais ou biológica achando estarem vivendo algo especial, quando na verdade apenas estão seguindo o que a natureza determinou que é a perpetuação da espécie e nada mais além disso.
A relação de K como Joi está além do carnal, do biológico, do reprodutivo pôs não a isso na relação dos dois. Então tudo é puramente espiritual. Tem até o momento em que Joi deseja ser real para poder se unir a ele. Então ela escolhe uma prostituta, a garota de programa Mariette, para poder se sincronizar com ela, para a sim poder se unir ao agente K. Realizando o seu desejo de ser real pra ele, mas o próprio diz que não precisava, pôs ela já era real pra ele. E isso é o que importa, o amor no seu estado mais puro ou elevado. Que transcende além do tempo, espaço, vida, morte, físico. Só a um lugar onde amor se realiza que é na eternidade. O mundo nessa era da liquidez, do sexo fácil e barato, vem cada vez mais deixando de ser ter relações profundas e verdadeiras. Não somente numa relação de casal, mas também na amizade e em tudo. Nós tornamos produtos para sermos usados e descartados por aqueles a serem igualmente produtos para outros produtos. E a sim caminha a sociedade atual. Um mundo frio e vazio em termo de relações verdadeiras e de sentimentos humanos profundos e verdadeiros. Relação hoje em dia virou sinônimo de tragedia, morte, assassinato. E as musicas mais populares retratam toda essa decadência social dos tempos atuais. Será que a inteligência artificial vem resgatar as relações verdadeiras ou será com a inteligência artificial é que voltaremos a termos relações verdadeiras, profundas e pra vida inteira.

Hello everyone!
This is one of our Performance task in English.
Let me introduce our member:
Chad Rizabal
Jan Carlo C. Castroverde
Today's activity our topic is "Reviving country striving tourism caused by pandemic"
First we would tackle what is the meaning of "Tourism".The meaning of "Tourism" is the activity of people traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for leisure, recreation, or business purposes. It involves visiting destinations, experiencing their culture, attractions, and engaging in various activities while away from one's home. Let's talk about the country or places that we need to revive. I preferred the Philippines as an example, Do you know that the Philippines has places that are often targeted by tourism such as Rizal Park, Tubbataha Reef from Palawan, Calle Crisilogo, Kawasan Falls and more.But when the "COVID-19" starts in some of most of the places in the Philippines, it rarely visited by tourists.

But I know how to revive some tourism spot by giving some step. First "Assess the Current State" The first step is to thoroughly assess the current condition of the tourist spot. Identify the challenges it faces, including deteriorating infrastructure, lack of amenities, or declining visitor numbers. Conduct surveys and gather data on visitor preferences and satisfaction. Then, "Infrastructure Improvement". Reviving a tourist spot often requires investment in infrastructure. Renovate or restore historical landmarks, improve roads, bridges, and transportation access, and ensure the availability of basic amenities such as clean restrooms, parking, and signage. We also have "Conservation and Sustainability". If the tourist spot is a natural attraction, conservation is vital. Implement sustainable practices to protect the environment, wildlife, and ecosystems. Develop eco-friendly facilities and educate visitors on responsible tourism. Further, "Community Engagement" Involve the local community in the revival process. Their support is crucial for the long-term success of the tourist spot. Encourage residents to participate in initiatives, such as guided tours, local crafts markets, or cultural events. Add to this is "Cultural and Historical Preservation". If the tourist spot has cultural or historical significance, focus on preserving and showcasing this heritage. Establish museums, interpretation centers, or exhibitions to educate visitors about the site's history. "Marketing and Promotion" Create a comprehensive marketing and promotion strategy. Utilize digital marketing, social media, and collaborate with travel agencies and tour operators to increase visibility. Highlight unique features and experiences the spot offers. "Accessibility and Connectivity", ensuring that the tourist spot is easily accessible. Improve transportation links, including road, rail, and air connections, and provide information on how to reach the destination." Diversify Activities" Offer a variety of activities to cater to different types of tourists. This could include adventure sports, cultural events, food festivals, or educational programs. Diversification can attract a wider range of visitors.
Come and join us in revitalizing this once-hidden gem, and together, let's bring back the magic and allure of our cherished tourist spot. Your visit can make a world of difference in preserving its beauty for generations to come. Come experience the rebirth of an iconic destination and create lasting memories with us.
But as a student, how do you revive places that are no longer visited by tourists?
Goodbye everyone.🤗🤗

Mariette Hélène Delangle, or "Helle Nice", the charming racecar driver.
Helle Nice on her Bugatti Type 35C
The photo portrays one of the interesting figures of motoring in the 1930s. Helle Nice worked as a nude model and dancer. With modest compensation, she manages to lead a modest life, between yachts, luxury villas and parties. After a brief accident, she decides to abandon that world, and to give her passion: racing cars. So what does she do? She buys a car, and in 1929, at the Linas-Montlhèry racetrack, driving an Omega-Six, she wins the women's category grand prix. And in December of the same year she repeats the victory aboard a Bugatti Type 35 C, and, listen what, setting the new world speed record of her category! If it's not racing stuff, I don't know what to say. My goodness! The following year she moves to America, where she wins races, and upon her return, during an afternoon in a cafe on the Champs-Elysees, she learns about her love of her life, which she then shares with him same passion for engines. A certain Philippe de Rothschild, who introduces him to the famous constructor Ettore Bugatti, owner of the homonymous brand, who recognizes the woman's talent on the track by giving her a car. Added to a purely male starting grid, Nice conquered a third place at the Bugatti Gran Prix and participated, in 1931, in five races including the French, Italian and Monza Grands Prix. 'Mouth slightly open for concentration and blue car': this is Hellé's trademark on the track. The crowd, when she saw her racing, cheered her as they cheer for today's riders. And although she never won a race, behind the wheel of Bugattis or Alfa Romeos, she often turned into an annoying foe for many of the top male drivers, including Nuvolari, Chiron and Fagioli. She then has an accident, where she hits a bale of hay, her car overturns, and she loses consciousness. So… All finished? NO! After just three days in a coma and two months of recovery, she leaves the hospital and gets back behind her wheel. She runs like a madwoman, beating TEN RECORDS unbeaten so far in an endurance race reserved for women at the Montlhéry racetrack! I will stop here now, because in the post-war period, anyone who knows history knows that it was not merciful to her. The fact that she was singled out by Chiron as a Gestapo spy landed her in a round of poverty and ignominy until the end of her days. So, I want to remember her like this, like in that photo. Smiling in front of the camera, and mad at the wheel.
Red. Manuel

The Black haired, blue eyed orphan joke also only works on his non superpowered sons.
(Even then: Depending on the version Damian has more greenish eyes and brown hair and jason was red haired in some comics.)
Like steph is blond, Barbara is red haired and cass has brown eyes.
His only kid with superpowers is Duke, who is dark skinned, so miles (or, what would be 10 times funnier: our favorite homeless punk kid Hobie) would fit right in.
The thing about the batfam crossovers is that bruce adopts first and thinks later.
So i get why people could be disappointed that there aren't more "miles meets Batfam fics" (especially if you see the countless Mariette, a girl with loving parents, meets Batfam or DP, a boy with C- parents , meets Batfam stories)
But complaining doesn't get you anywhere.
Make your own works and inspire others with it.
If i where to write it, id make miles getting stranded in the dc universe, pulling a gwen by attending the Gotham academy, accidentally befriending Damian, fighting crime, getting invited to dinner, meeting Bruce (who immediately knows that this is a homeless superpowered kid) and getting exposed by a really sleep deprived tim.
saw someone bitching about how miles morales is being snubbed when it comes to dc batfamliy crossover fics cause hes not white but like? the black haired blue eyed kid jokes are just that- jokes. we’re saying that bruce tends to adopt kids that look like him. bruce is white therefore thats part of the description. another (possibly bigger) reason is that miles HAS PARENTS loving, competent, and most importantly ALIVE parents which puts a bit of a damper on the whole adoption thing batman has going on.
