Somepony on Instagram said that Picard would like Discord, I'd say they're not entirely wrong. (For those of you who don't know, John De Lancie is Discord's voice actor and also a strong source of inspiration for his character despite the fact that John avoided using his 'Q' voice for his lines)
Bonus Panel
Worf's really not happy that Q also likes Fluttershy.
Description under the cut.
[Image ID: 4 panel greyscale comic. The first panel is of Picard's hand holding a brush and dusting 2 photo images of My Little Pony toys. A Discord figure sits on the left of a Fluttershy toy on the top shelf.
The second panel is of Picard wearing a bathrobe and happily humming to himself, flowers surrounding him, his arm extended out to his left while he resumes his dusting.
The third panel is of Picard, now visibly annoyed with his eyes shut, his arms extended inward as he sighs while Q sits perched on his back wearing a red engineering uniform. Q wraps his hands around Picard's shoulder after appearing out of thin air and leaving a lipstick imprint on his bald head. He sensually says into Picard's ear, "Jean-Luc, did you miss me, Mon Capitan"
The fourth panel is of Q scrambling up Picard's shoulder excitedly, pointing at the Discord figure Picard was cleaning and exclaims, "Oh look it's me! Where'd you get this" Picard in shock looks up and exclaims," Wait, what?"
There is a separate comic panel at the end of the caption. It is a greyscale panel of Q holding up a Fluttershy toy photo in his left hand, the right hand petting the toy with his pointer finger. He coos at the toy, "My darling Fluttershy! How I've missed you so. The background is a light grey with sparkles at the left of the comic, the comic turning into a dark grey as Worf stands at a distance towards the right of the panel. He is holding a bat'let in his left hand and is visibly angry with a grey cloud around him. End ID]

Cincinnati’s Kit Kapp Mapped Uncharted Waters, Popularized Indigenous Art & Was Forgotten By His Hometown
When Amor Smith “Kit” Kapp Jr. died in Florida at the age of 86 in 2013, not a single Cincinnati news outlet carried an obituary or, in fact, any mention at all. The oversight was remarkable since Kit Kapp had been featured in more than 60 Cincinnati news stories between the 1940s and the 1970s.
Almost every day of Kit Kapp’s long life was worthy of a news story somewhere. He was born in 1926 to Loretta and Amor Smith Kapp Sr. in Walnut Hills. His father was a lumber dealer and the marriage was rocky. Loretta sued for divorce twice. The second time, it took. Throughout high school and college, Kit lived with his father.
As a youngster, Kit was bedridden with scarlet fever. He told his father he wanted to build a boat, so Amor Kapp Sr. drove down to the Ohio River and took photos of a towboat. Dad told the Cincinnati Post [18 December 1955]:
“I put those pictures on a drafting board and we started to build. That darn boat took nine months to make, but Kit still has it. It has 144 miniature lights that work and a miniature paddle wheel.”
Inspired by the towboat project, Kit launched his own business, the American Model Company, to sell model boat kits to hobbyists while still a student at Anderson High School.
While living in Mount Washington, Kit walked down to Coney Island and pestered the concessionaires into letting him exercise their ponies and horses. He was just 15 when he signed up to work on a dude ranch in Oklahoma. The next summer found him at a “real” ranch in Arizona. Diving into the cowboy culture, Kit became fascinated by the guns of the Old West and managed to become, at age 17, the youngest person licensed as a firearms dealer by the U.S. government. He boasted that he owned more Smith & Wesson sidearms than any collector in the country.
Kit enrolled at the University of Cincinnati in 1944 but was almost immediately drafted into the Army. He served as a paratrooper in an airborne division based in Japan during the post-war occupation. While overseas, he discovered two new passions: mountain climbing and the Ainu, an indigenous people found in the far northern reaches of the Japanese archipelago. Typically, Kit located every book published on the Ainu – 15 in total, all in Japanese – and hired Japanese students to translate them. He amassed a significant collection of Ainu artifacts and set about connecting Japanese scholars at Hokkaido Imperial University with anthropology faculty at UC.
Returning to UC after his discharge as a sergeant, Kit convinced the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity to climb Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in the contiguous United States. But, when the time came for the expedition to depart, Kit found himself alone. He told the Cincinnati Post [24 June 1947]:
“A couple of my fraternity brothers were going along, too, but they apparently thought it was just a lot of talk and made other plans for the summer. So I’m going alone.”
On his way west, Kit climbed Signal Peak in Utah and El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. He summited Mount Whitney, hauling a 63-pound pack, and then climbed nearby Mount Muir, not as tall but treacherously steep. According to the Post [29 December 1952]:
“He reached the peak, then gazed down on 1200 feet of sheer precipice. The descent was more a rock-grasping operation than anything else. Kit’s foot slipped and he went tumbling. The whole slope seemed to slide with him. In the best mountain-climbing manner, he stuck out his arms and spread his legs to provide the best brakeage possible.”
Kit ended up with a twisted right leg, a heel pried from one boot, and a determination to find another mountain to climb. Instead, he bought a cheap automobile and drove it through Central America. He blamed it on Burton Holmes.
Almost forgotten today, Burton Holmes was something like a Depression-era globe-trotting Rick Steves. Holmes filmed exotic locales and traveled the country narrating his movies in very popular and remunerative lectures. In April 1946, Holmes presented a filmed tour of Mexico at UC’s Wilson Auditorium, extolling the fine automotive route along the new Pan-American Highway, but warning his audience not to attempt driving further into Central America, because it couldn’t be done.
That sounded like a dare to Kit Kapp. Boasting, as he put it, a bankroll “just thick enough to see through,” Kapp bought a 1929 Model-A Ford for $64 in 1948 and drove it all the way to Costa Rica. As a friend later wrote:
“Claiming to be a journalism student, Kit succeeded in meeting and interviewing the presidents of both Nicaragua and Guatemala during his trip. His car survived the journey back to the US, despite suffering 18 bullet holes passing through a small revolution in Nicaragua.”
Kit changed 51 flat tires and somehow made it back to Cincinnati without the benefit of second gear just in time to enroll for his junior year at UC’s College of Business Administration. Soon after graduation in 1950, Kit sold his model boat company and his firearm collection and bought a 41-foot ketch he named Fairwinds and sailed for the Caribbean. The original Fairwinds was wrecked in a gale, so Kit acquired a 50-foot “bugeye” ketch and christened it Fairwinds II.
With St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands as a base, Kit launched a charter company, hauling tourists around the area, eventually wandering farther and farther afield. Along the way, he met and married his first wife, the former Lois Fatzinger of Palmerton, Pennsylvania. After a decade running charters, that marriage dissolved, and Kit decided that he would rather go exploring than stick to a charter’s set schedule. He told the Post [18 December 1965]:
“I decided to get out of the high rent district. Running a charter boat is like running a sea-going taxi.”
Instead, he offered expeditions to crew members who paid him for the privilege of exploring rarely visited islands and coasts.
“I make plans ahead of time and if anyone wants to go along they pay $200 for two weeks. They work, but not hard. They help clean up, aid in survey work, help carry equipment on the island beaches. We work about five hours a day, then we swim or loaf.”
Many of those expeditions were sponsored officially by the Explorer’s Club of New York. That organization designated Kit as a fellow of the society. Among his regular customers was physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. Kit’s travels took him into previously uncharted waters near the coast of Panama, and it was here that he generated his most culturally impactful discovery.
Kit’s efforts to survey the San Blas Islands off the north coast of Panama led to a lifelong interest in the Guna tribespeople who lived there. The Guna (or Kuna) produced unique fabric designs known as mola, vibrantly colored and intricately layered fabric pieces worn by the Guna women. The process involved in creating molas is often described as “reverse appliqué,” in which pieces of fabric are cut away to reveal layers underneath. Kit was among the first outsiders to appreciate and study these dynamic artworks and to bring them to the attention of scholars worldwide. His self-published 1972 monograph, “Mola art from the San Blas Islands” remains the definitive introduction to the art form.
During dozens of voyages around the San Blas Islands, Kit’s quest for reliable charts inspired him to seek out, collect, study and sell antique maps. Some of the maps he found were quite valuable. One sold at auction for $34,000. By 1967, Kit had accumulated a substantial inventory, enough to mount an exhibition in Jamaica. During the opening reception for that exhibit, Kit met his second wife, Valerie, born on the Isle of Wight, who helped coordinate his buying and selling trips to England and the Continent.
As Kit and Valerie shared their discoveries in Guna art, their travels brought them to Cincinnati, where they coordinated a landmark exhibition of molas and ritual Guna statuary at the Studio San Guiseppe at the College of Mount St. Joseph in 1972. Enquirer [13 February 1972] art critic Owen Findsen was impressed:
“Leaving the ethnology to Captain Kapp, the Mola can be seen as a pure art form. One must be taken by the intense coloring of many of them which can set up visual vibrations to compete with the Op artists. And the designs are clever in the same way that the pseudo-primitive art of Paul Klee is clever, by its directness and its innocence.”
The colors and patterns of mola fabric art filtered into popular fashions throughout the 1970s. Women around the world wore clothing and carried handbags replicating Guna mola designs, usually with no awareness of the original source.
As a dealer in antique maps, Kit built a reputation as a discerning connoisseur and befriended several other influential collectors. British map dealer Simon Hunter was one such colleague. He recalled:
“Kit was a very astute buyer, but he was also a most entertaining character whose good humor and traveler’s tales made it impossible to resent the large discounts he invariably managed to obtain on his many purchases.”
All the while he was buying and selling maps, Kit earned acclaim as a formidable scholar who also had the expertise to create his own maps. His many academic publications include analyses of maps, inventories of known charts and monographs on native peoples. Worldcat lists more than 40 publications under his name, with at least a dozen publications being maps of previously unfathomed waters.
After 25 years devoted to collecting and selling maps, Kit and Valerie decided that their business, no matter how successful, was detracting from the time available for exploring their beloved Caribbean. They pivoted toward selling by consignment through other dealers, rather than issuing their own catalogs. The sheer volume of their collections necessitated buying a house with a large garage on land, and they settled in Nokomis, Florida.
Over the years, significant honors accrued. In addition to the prestigious Explorers’ Club, Kit was awarded a permanent card for the British Museum Reading Room and memberships in the Royal Geographical Society, the Adventurers' Club of New York, the Archaeological Institute of America and the American Geographical Society.
After Kit’s death in 2013, his widow discovered more than 60 cartons of uncatalogued Guna art that he had packed away since the early 1970s. While itemizing that substantial collection, she discovered a room covered by a false wall in the garage with even more fabrics and statuary. Much of this new inventory is now available through various auction houses.

Rith patted Armonius' shoulder a couple of times. It was at least a start. Then he and the other turtles zapped out.
With the echoes of Raph singing my little pony left behind.
.
.
River sighed as she hung up the phone after talking to her twin. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't homesick. But, as she reminded herself for the umpteenth time, this was for the best. She could handle this pain better than the other one. Of seeing him. Seeing his disgust towards her.
She sighed as she put her phone back in it's case. He probably didn't even care about where she was, or what she was doing. River even couldn't force herself to use his name. Even that hurt more than she could bear. He was probably just happy she was gone. At least she could make him happy afterall.
"River!"
The black haired turtle looked up to see her supervisor come into the office where she was writing up a report.
"Yes, sir?" She stood up as Captain Matthews came in.
"Got some special orders for you. From your home base."
River blinked. "From, home, sir?"
"Colonel Leonardo sent this." He handed her an envelope.
"Grandfather?" She curiously took the paperwork with her family seal on it and pulled it out of the envelope.
'Pvt. River,' it began. She smiled a bit at that. Technically, she was the only one besides her grandfather and uncles to carry any kind of rank. 'There is evidence that the Foot clan is becoming active in the European sector of NEST operations as well as a re-emergence in the lower 48 of the United States. At this time, their intentions are not fully known. Therefore, by my recommendation, you have been assigned to act as our liason to your unit to act as advisor. And if needed, to take control of the task force. It is with the utmost confidence that I send this order.
-Col. Leonardo.'
She lowered the paper with a mix of excitement and nervousness. This, could be big. Real big. Afterall, her grandfather and his brothers created an entire sub section of NEST just to combat the foot clan. But the clan never strayed this far, unless they were working with the Decepticons.
But, was she really ready for this? Could she handle a situation of this magnitude? Could she prove to herself, and to him, that she was indeed worth something? That she could be worthy of his attention and respect?
Maybe not his, but she could maybe learn to respect herself again.
"Capitan Matthews? Could you please call for a meeting with all the platoon seargents and lieutenants? Might want to bring in First Seargent also."
"Bad?"
"It could be, sir. It's severe enough to where Col. Leonardo asked me to advise you."
Her unit leader frowned a bit in thought. "Well, the man has earned his reputation. If that's what he wants, then I'll get on it right away."
"Could you also send back an official reply for me?" She looked a bit sheepish. "I'm still not sure how that part all works."
"Sure thing." And he turned around and quickly walked out of the room.
.
.
Leonardo smiled after reading the reply. Though only gone a few weeks, apparently River was making a good impression. Her chain of command sent along a few lines accompanying her reply. Both thanking him for letting her join their team and telling him she was a good soldier.
He chuckled, wondering how much of it was to and try and suck up to him.
"Well?" Donnie asked from where he was working at his desk as Leo put down the paper on his own sturdy piece of furniture.
"She seems to be holding up pretty good." He answered. "Her command seems pretty taken with her."
"Shouldn't surprise you." Aquarius smiled from where she was sitting across from Leo at his desk. "She came from a very well trained and very prepared group of individuals."
"Don't tell him that." Raph rolled his eyes. His booted feet were on his own desk as he read through some reports. "It'll inflate his ego even more."
Leo just ignored his brother as he opened the container carrying the lunch Aqua had brought with her. They had easily fallen into their comfortable companionship, even if nothing intimate had happened yet. The risk of setting off her entity was too great. He wasn't sure she was ready to deal with that yet.
"This looks delicious." Leo smiled. He took a piece of lettuce from the side salad and let Muffin have it. The rabbit started munching happily from where she was sitting on the corner of his desk.
@infuriatedleprechaun
Opposites Attract
“Careful, you idiot.” Leonardo snarled at his youngest brother. “They’ll hear you, scatter and I’ll have to chase them all around the city.”

§ 3.281. El poni rojo (Lewis Milestone, 1949)
Una película infantil, familiar, para todos. Una tierna historia sobre la amistad, el afecto, el compromiso con los otros, con tus semejantes y contigo mismo.
Unos actores inmensos, una gran Myrna Loy y un extraordinario Robert Mitchum, grande y más noble que nunca. También brilla Louis Calhern, el villano de La jungla de asfalto, de John Huston, que es de un año posterior.
El guión está firmado por John Steinbeck, y se construye desde una novela suya del mismo nombre.
Tiene ese punto infantil, grávido, poco dramático, suave y un punto de inconsciencia. Pretende seguir la estela de Capitanes intrépidos (Victor Fleming, 1937), pero no consigue esa sensación de absoluta pureza que consigue esa gran obra maestra del cine de todos los tiempos.
La banda sonora es muy noticiable, acompaña toda la cinta. Es de Aaron Copland, uno de los primeros grandes de la composición de bandas sonoras.
Me encantan los vaqueros de Mitchum, de una modernidad inaudita. Descoloridos por el centro, muy oscuros por los lados, ceñidos en la cintura y algo estrechos sin ser strench. Preciosos.

Rhonda Fleming (born Marilyn Louis; August 10, 1923 – October 14, 2020) was an American film and television actress and singer. She acted in more than 40 films, mostly in the 1940s and 1950s, and became renowned as one of the most glamorous actresses of her day, nicknamed the "Queen of Technicolor" because she photographed so well in that medium.
Fleming was born Marilyn Louis in Hollywood, California, to Harold Cheverton Louis, an insurance salesman, and Effie Graham, a stage actress who had appeared opposite Al Jolson in the musical Dancing Around at New York's Winter Garden Theatre from 1914 to 1915. Fleming's maternal grandfather was John C. Graham, an actor, theater owner, and newspaper editor in Utah.
She began working as a film actress while attending Beverly Hills High School, from which she graduated in 1941. She was discovered by the well-known Hollywood agent Henry Willson, who changed her name to "Rhonda Fleming".
"It's so weird", Fleming said later. "He stopped me crossing the street. It kinda scared me a little bit -- I was only 16 or 17. He signed me to a seven-year contract without a screen test. It was a Cinderella story, but those could happen in those days."
Fleming's agent Willson went to work for David O. Selznick, who put her under contract.[5][6] She had bit parts in In Old Oklahoma (1943), Since You Went Away (1944) for Selznick, and in When Strangers Marry (1944).
She received her first substantial role in the thriller, Spellbound (1945), produced by Selznick and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. "Hitch told me I was going to play a nymphomaniac", Fleming said later. "I remember rushing home to look it up in the dictionary and being quite shocked." The film was a success and Selznick gave her another good role in the thriller The Spiral Staircase (1946), directed by Robert Siodmak.
Selznick lent her out to appear in supporting parts in the Randolph Scott Western Abilene Town (1946) at United Artists and the film noir classic Out of the Past (1947) with Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas, at RKO, where she played a harried secretary.
Fleming's first leading role came in Adventure Island (1947), a low-budget action film made for Pine-Thomas Productions at Paramount Pictures in the two-color Cinecolor process and co-starring fellow Selznick contractee Rory Calhoun.
Fleming then auditioned for the female lead in a Bing Crosby film, a part Deanna Durbin turned down at Paramount in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1949), a musical loosely based on the story by Mark Twain. Fleming exhibited her singing ability, dueting with Crosby on "Once and For Always" and soloing with "When Is Sometime". They recorded the songs for a three-disc, 78-rpm Decca album, conducted by Victor Young, who wrote the film's orchestral score. Her vocal coach in Hollywood, Harriet Lee, praised her "lovely voice", saying, "she could be a musical comedy queen". The movie was Fleming's first Technicolor film. Her fair complexion and flaming red hair photographed exceptionally well and she was nicknamed the "Queen of Technicolor", a moniker not worth much to her as she would have preferred to be known for her acting. Actress Maureen O'Hara expressed a similar sentiment when the same nickname was given to her around this time.
She then played another leading role opposite a comedian, in this case Bob Hope, in the The Great Lover (1949). It was a big hit and Fleming was established. "After that, I wasn't fortunate enough to get good directors", said Fleming. "I made the mistake of doing lesser films for good money. I was hot – they all wanted me – but I didn't have the guidance or background to judge for myself."
In February 1949, Selznick sold his contract players to Warner Bros, but he kept Fleming.
In 1950 she portrayed John Payne's love interest in The Eagle and the Hawk, a Western.
Fleming was lent to RKO to play a femme fatale opposite Dick Powell in Cry Danger (1951), a film noir. Back at Paramount, she played the title role in a Western with Glenn Ford, The Redhead and the Cowboy (1951).
In 1950, she ended her association with Selznick after eight years, though her contract with him had another five years to run.
Fleming signed a three-picture deal with Paramount. Pine-Thomas used her as Ronald Reagan's leading lady in a Western, The Last Outpost (1951), John Payne's leading lady in the adventure film Crosswinds (1951), and with Reagan again in Hong Kong (1951).
She sang on NBC's Colgate Comedy Hour during the same live telecast that featured Errol Flynn, on September 30, 1951, from the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood.
Fleming was top-billed for Sam Katzman's The Golden Hawk (1952) with Sterling Hayden, then was reunited with Reagan for Tropic Zone (1953) at Pine-Thomas. In 1953, Fleming portrayed Cleopatra in Katzman's Serpent of the Nile for Columbia. That same year, she filmed a western with Charlton Heston at Paramount, Pony Express (1953), and two films shot in three dimensions (3-D), Inferno with Robert Ryan at Fox, and the musical Those Redheads From Seattle with Gene Barry, for Pine-Thomas. The following year, she starred with Fernando Lamas in Jivaro, her third 3-D release, at Pine-Thomas. She went to Universal for Yankee Pasha (1954) with Jeff Chandler. Fleming also traveled to Italy to play Semiramis in Queen of Babylon (1954).
Fleming was part of a gospel singing quartet with Jane Russell, Connie Haines, and Beryl Davis.
Much of the location work for Fleming's 1955 Western Tennessee's Partner, in which she played Duchess opposite John Payne as Tennessee and Ronald Reagan as Cowpoke, was filmed at the Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, California, (known as the most heavily filmed outdoor location in the history of film and television). A distinctive monolithic sandstone feature behind which Fleming (as Duchess) hid during an action sequence, later became known as the Rhonda Fleming Rock. The rock is part of a section of the former movie ranch known as "Garden of the Gods", which has been preserved as public parkland.
Fleming was reunited with Payne and fellow redhead Arlene Dahl in a noir at RKO, Slightly Scarlet (1956). She did other thrillers that year; The Killer Is Loose (1956) with Joseph Cotten and Fritz Lang's While the City Sleeps (1956), co-starring Dana Andrews, at RKO. Fleming was top billed in an adventure movie for Warwick Films, Odongo (1956).
Fleming had the female lead in John Sturges's Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957) co-starring Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas, a big hit. She supported Donald O'Connor in The Buster Keaton Story (1957) and Stewart Granger in Gun Glory (1957) at MGM.
In May 1957, Fleming launched a nightclub act at the Tropicana in Las Vegas. It was a tremendous success. "I just wanted to know if I could get out on that stage – if I could do it. And I did! ... My heart was to do more stage work, but I had a son, so I really couldn't, but that was in my heart."
Fleming was Guy Madison's co star in Bullwhip (1958) for Allied Artists, and supported Jean Simmons in Home Before Dark (1958), which she later called her favorite role ("It was a marvellous stretch", she said).
Fleming was reunited with Bob Hope in Alias Jesse James (1959) and did an episode of Wagon Train.
She was in the Irwin Allen/Joseph M. Newman production of The Big Circus (1959), co-starring Victor Mature and Vincent Price. This was made for Allied Artists, whom Fleming later sued for unpaid profits.
Fleming travelled to Italy again to make The Revolt of the Slaves (1959) and was second billed in The Crowded Sky (1960).
In 1960, she described herself as "semi-retired", having made money in real estate investments. That year she toured her nightclub act in Las Vegas and Palm Springs.
During the 1950s, 1960s, and into the 1970s, Fleming frequently appeared on television with guest-starring roles on The Red Skelton Show, The Best of Broadway, The Investigators, Shower of Stars, The Dick Powell Show, Wagon Train, Burke's Law, The Virginian, McMillan & Wife, Police Woman, Kung Fu, Ellery Queen, and The Love Boat.
In 1958, Fleming again displayed her singing talent when she recorded her only LP, entitled simply Rhonda (reissued in 2008 on CD as Rhonda Fleming Sings Just For You). In this album, which was released by Columbia Records, she blended then-current songs like "Around The World" with standards such as "Love Me or Leave Me" and "I've Got You Under My Skin". Conductor-arranger Frank Comstock provided the musical direction.
On March 4, 1962, Fleming appeared in one of the last segments of ABC's Follow the Sun in a role opposite Gary Lockwood. She played a Marine in the episode, "Marine of the Month".
In December 1962, Fleming was cast as the glamorous Kitty Bolton in the episode, "Loss of Faith", on the syndicated anthology series, Death Valley Days, hosted by Stanley Andrews. In the story line, Kitty pits Joe Phy (Jim Davis) and Peter Gabriel (Don Collier) to run against each other for sheriff of Pima County, Arizona. Violence results from the rivalry.
In the 1960s, Fleming branched out into other businesses and began performing regularly on stage and in Las Vegas.
One of her final film appearances was in a bit-part as Edith von Secondburg in the comedy The Nude Bomb (1980) starring Don Adams. She also appeared in Waiting for the Wind (1990).
Fleming has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2007, a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars was dedicated to her.
Fleming worked for several charities, especially in the field of cancer care, and served on the committees of many related organizations. In 1991, her fifth husband, Ted Mann, and she established the Rhonda Fleming Mann Clinic for Women's Comprehensive Care at the UCLA Medical Center.
In 1964, Fleming spoke at the "Project Prayer" rally attended by 2,500 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California. The gathering, which was hosted by Anthony Eisley, a star of ABC's Hawaiian Eye series, sought to flood the United States Congress with letters in support of mandatory school prayer, following two decisions in 1962 and 1963 of the United States Supreme Court, which struck down mandatory school prayer as conflicting with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Joining Fleming and Eisley at the rally were Walter Brennan, Lloyd Nolan, Dale Evans, Pat Boone, and Gloria Swanson. Fleming declared, "Project Prayer is hoping to clarify the First Amendment to the Constitution and reverse this present trend away from God." Eisley and Fleming added that John Wayne, Ronald Reagan, Roy Rogers, Mary Pickford, Jane Russell, Ginger Rogers, and Pat Buttram would also have attended the rally had their schedules not been in conflict.
Fleming married six times:
Thomas Wade Lane, interior decorator, (1940–1942; divorced), one son
Dr. Lewis V. Morrill, Hollywood physician, (July 11, 1952 – 1954; divorced)
Lang Jeffries, actor, (April 3, 1960 – January 11, 1962; divorced)

Love Finds A Way
(sequel to “See You Again”) ( A Hary Hook X Reader story)
Part 6
Harry sauntered into the chip shop after his encounter with the former occupants of the Isle. His mind still drifted to Hadley and her scared expression as he pointed his hook in her face. He mentally kicked himself as he promised her long ago that he would never point his hook at her face.
He groaned as he sat down at a table, kicking his feet up and rubbing his hands down his face slightly smearing the eyeliner around his eyes.
He only put it on because he knew Hadley liked it, she always said it made his eyes seem more menacing, and maybe it would her her to break if she saw it but no such luck.
Uma came around from the back and saw Harry propped against the table. She knocked his feet down, startling the young pirate and causing him to yelp as the chair fell to the floor.
“Well? Is she coming?” Uma asked crossing her arms.
“Yeah I don't see why they wouldn't. I gave them a pretty irresitsable ultimatum.” Harry grunted.
“ Wait.. wait. Who's they?” Uma raised an eyebrow.
“ Mal.”
“And?”
Harry didn't respond right away, he just continued to look at the floor.
“Harry!”
Harry mumbled something as Uma rested her hands on the table.
“What was that?” She tilted her head.
“ Hadley.” Harry spoke, his voice was low and his eyes stayed put on the floor not daring to look at his Capitan.
“Did I tell you to invite the hot head?!” Uma shouted
“ I did it for meself!’ Harry roared as he forcefully stood up, knocking over the chair.
Uma laughed.
“Oh Harry. She left you remember? She doesn't care about you. It's been six months, get over it.” Uma shot.
Each word cut into Harry's chest like a searing red-hot knife.
“ I know.” He whimpered.
“ Just remember where your loyalties lie.” Uma growled.
Uma sauntered away from the table, leaving Harry to pick up his chair.
He sat back down and slammed his head on the he table top groaning as he did.
An hour past and the time for Hadley and Mal to arrive neared closer. Meaning Harry grew more nervous and Uma grew more agitated.
She slammed a tray of fried fish on the table in front of a witch causing some to spill onto the table top.
“ Hey! I wanted the fried clams!” The witch complained.
“ And I wanted a sea pony. Life ain't fair!” Uma retorted, making the witch jump back.
Harry was tapping his hook on the table when the two swing doors flung open.
All heads turned to the two new additions to the shop, some gashping and some growling.
“ We're baaaack.” Mal and Hadley sung still standing in the doorway.
Harry's head shot directly to Hadley as he stood up.
Uma laughed as she went to stand by harry.
“Losers, party of two. Right this way please.” Uma gestured to an empty table in front if them. Uma pushed a chair towards mal, who caught it before it hit her.
“ Place still stinks.” Hadley commented, wrinkling her nose at the putrid smell of fish.
“Oh I'm sorry. We're down a Butler today. Princesses.” Uma scoffed.
Hadley went to pull up an empty chair when a large hand covered hers.
Hadley looked up to see Harry had grabbed her hand, his blue eyes seemed stone cold.
“Let's go. We need to talk.” Harry stated looking anywhere but at her.
Hadley looked to Mal as Harry drug her from the shop by her wrist.
He took her to an alley next to the shop. He let go of her arm and started pacing in front of her.
Hadley cast her eyes to the wet, muddy ground, kicking some rocks around.
“Why?” Harry voice broke through the silence causing Hadley to snap her head to look at him. He'd stopped pacing and was standing in front of Hadley.
When she opened her mouth to ask what he meant he silenced her with his hand.
“You promised me you wouldn't. You promised we would get out of here together. It's been six months Hadley and I've heard nothin’ from you. You're over there living the perfect little life not giving a single care about me. You left me here hoping that you'd come back. Did you even think about me when you chose to stay? Hm? Cause you weren't wearing the necklace then. Just like you aren't now. What? Did you forget I existed the minute you stepped foot in Auradon? Did you ever care about me at all?” Harry's voice got louder and louder and by the time her finished ranting.
Hadely stepped forward. “ That's not true.. I-I-”
“ Save it. You lied to me. I waited six months.. six months for you to come back here. And now the only reason you're here is to get you precious King and princess back.”
“Harry..-” her voice came out broken and quiet.
Before Hadley could return any answers, Mal came slamming out the doors of the shop.
“Hadley! Let's go!” Mal shouted.
Hadley turned back to Harry not sure of what to say. She backed out of the alley keeping her eyes on him. She watched as his head hung and his shoulders slumped as she backed up.
“I never forgot you Harry.” She whispered.
Harry looked up just as her hair flicked around the corner.
Hadley jogged to keep up with Mal who seemed unsettled.
“ Mal wait up! What happened in there?” Hadley panted as she caught up.
Mal stopped and sighed “ Uma wants the wand, in exchange for Ben and Ruby.”
Hadley stared wide eyed as Mal walked on.
'great here we go again with the whole wand thing’ Hadley groaned out loud rushing to catch up.
A/n: Hey guys! forgot it was Friday again yesterday... oops. anyway here is Part 6. if you liked this part and would like part 7 please like and comment. aslo if you would like to read the illustrated version you can do so on my Wattpad (@phelpsphan). As Always if you would like to be added to the tag list please message me. <3 <3 <3 Summary: You would think that six months in Auradon would do any villain kid good. Well, not Hadley. After the events of the Coronation, Hadley's mood took a downward spiral; and for one reason, guilt. She'd broken a promise and left her best friend on the Isle of the Lost. How will she handle seeing him again when certain circumstances bring her back to the Isle? Will she finally tell him what she really feels?
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters in Descendants. Hadley and the plot between her and Harry are mine.

Introducción
Soy Lexx. Me apasiona el arte y la astronomía.
En este blog voy a estar subiendo dibujos propios, sólo por gusto y amor al arte, claro que probablemente llamar “Arte” a lo que hago sea demasiado por lo pronto. Por el momento voy a estar haciendo fanarts, pero ya verán a futuro mis planes son mucho más grandes, igual hacer fanarts es muy divertido, así que probablemente lo siga haciendo.
Ahora voy a proceder a nombrar de lo que voy hacer fanarts, mis fandoms, y lo que más disfruto.
Empezaré por My Little Pony y South Park.
A ver, esas dos son bien diferentes. Resulta que las series animadas para adultos en realidad no son lo mío, pero un día una animadora que sigo en YouTube subió una corta escena de South Park re-animada por ella. Fue tan genial, la vi muchas veces, y me anime a investigar un poco sobre la serie, leí muchos artículos, vi varios videos sobre los peores capítulos y leí muchas criticas que fueron las que, finalmente, me animaron a realmente ver la serie. Así que hasta ahora he visto las dos primeras temporadas y me han encantado, es una autentica maravilla esa serie. Básicamente lo que hago es verla e ir anotando los momentos que vale la pena re-dibujar en mi estilo, así que eso es lo que haré acá empezando por esas dos primeras temporadas.
Sobre My Little Pony. Debo decir que solía criticarla bastante y me irritaba que personas cercanas a mí disfrutaran tanto de ella. Pero en los últimos meses, o más bien, el último semestre he seguido cuentas en Instagram que, curiosamente, también la disfrutan y sin querer le cogí cariño y empecé a verla desde el inicio. Es curioso porque según sé ya terminó, me pasa muuucho eso, como no cuento con demasiado tiempo para series voy muy atrás respecto a lo normal. En fin, decidí hacer algo parecido a lo que haré con South Park, pero acá además del re-dibujo, será un cambio mayor. Siempre he pensado que las ponies están algo, quizás muy, humanizadas en está última versión de Friendship is magic, así que decidí hacerles una versión con cuerpos más humanos pero que no sean humanas, sino una especie de hadas, unas con magia, otras con alas, y otras terrestres. Con Cutie Marks, no en sus rostros, no en su ropa, sino en sus muñecas, que probablemente se muestren sobre la ropa cuando tengan un buso o algo encima. Me parece una idea encantadora y que vale la pena intentar. Será como dije en el caso anterior, voy viendo capítulos y escojo escenas.
Vale y en cuanto a series, mi favorita actualmente es Campamento de verano o en inglés Summer Camp Island. probablemente les haga algunos fanarts, especialmente a Max y Erizo, son mis personajes favoritos y los shippeo, además
Haré algunos cambios en la historia a series y cómics que en un punto me decepcionaron. Normalmente el daño es en aspectos románticos, porque creo que mis ships son muy raros o algo, pero nunca resultan, y lo peor es que la pareja que sí queda, la veo como algo que está totalmente mal, por donde se le mire. Me arruina la historia y normalmente la dejo, especialmente en el caso de los cómics. Las series a las que les haré esto serán SVTFOE (Star vs las fuerzas del mal) , porque siento que puedo darle un giro interesante y mejor a la serie, en ciertos sentidos, y sí el starco me parece algo muy forzado. Naruto, en realidad amo Naruto, es una serie muy importante para mí, sólo me gustaría que hubieran mejores personajes femeninos, y menos forzados para mi amado Naruto, lo que haré será crear un personaje nuevo y contar la historia desde su perspectiva, mas o menos. Y dos comics Hooky y Super Secret, pueden encontrarlos en WebToon. Hooky fue bastante molesto una vez introdujo a Monica, si bien el cómic seguía valiendo totalmente la pena, su relación con Dorian me irrita cantidad. Ella sólo coquetea mientras lo manipula y lo molesta al mismo tiempo, me irrita su forma de coqueteo, me hubiera encantado que al menos hubieran mostrado una amistad entre ellos, pero pasó al amor casi al instante. Me parece que la persona para Monica es Will, él es con quien debería estar, están perfectos juntos, pero en el cómic muestran como sí lo quisiera como un hermano o algo así. Todos disfrutan tanto las parejas del cómic que me abrumé y me sentí fuera de lugar, decidí dejarlo. Super Secret probablemente no sea tan conocido, pero tiene un estilo de dibujo super dulce. Trata de una chica cuyos vecinos son monstruos, lo que me molesta es que termina en una relación algo forzada con su mejor amigo, cuando había otro chico que me parece que hubiera estado bien sí se hubieran dado otra oportunidad. La protagonista y su amigo son muy lindos como amigos, pero como algo más no me parece realmente.
Vale, sí alguien sigue acá voy a continuar ahora con los juegos, realmente son solo dos juegos para celular. Moe Ninja Girls, esta es una historia genial sobre un ninja legendario que es el mejor de su generación y deja su aldea para vivir una vida normal en el instituto, pronto se da cuenta de que no puede dejar de ser un ninja por completo. En este caso lo que haré será dibujar escenas que no nos muestran y que valen totalmente la pena ver. Y Blustone, es sobre unas personas que viven en un lugar muy apartado y muy frío, entre la nieve, para tener energía deben buscar unas piedras azules y volar en equipos con sus capitanes trabajando en equipo. En este caso dibujaré al protagonista, que amo, me encanta inmensamente, me agrada mucho, y algunas escenas que se me ocurran con otros personajes que me encantan y vale la pena verlos más.
Creo que ahora sólo me falta mencionar los cómics de WebToons. Tengo tres favoritos, el primero, Room of Swords (léanlo por favor), me encanta lo amo, y dibujaré fanarts de los personajes y seguro de mi ship Kodya x Gyrus, probablemente sea de lo primero que publique. El segundo, Odd Girl Out, mmm, no creo que dibuje nada de este, pero el estilo de dibujo me encanta, tercero y último, Acception (también léanlo por favor), probablemente dibuje algunos personajes en mi estilo, y algún ship.
Si alguien leyó todo lo aprecio mucho, sé que no es muy agradable leer textos largos en Tumblr, o virtualmente, aunque hay quien lo prefiere. Bueno, sé que suena como muchos proyectos pero espero poder dibujar de todo un poco. También, aún estoy aprendiendo, especialmente en cuanto al dibujo virtual, pero espero poco a poco mejorar y que lleguen a disfrutar y sentir, esos dibujos o “arte” sí algún día merecen la palabra.
Saben, sí no querían leer todo, o no quieren, pueden leer las letras en negritas para ver de qué voy a estar dibujando.
Gracias por leer.

#no no please continue this can mean a lot#also we're on the same page w this!!#I always saw fleetfoot at being naturally more 'gifted' than soarin and spitfire#like spitfire says in the comics that she doesnt care about leading just flying#implying that she literally went to the wonderbolts purely to do something she enjoyed and not to become one#the other option was th wheater factory and i dont think she would have enjoyed as much#so like her becoming captain could simply mean that it was pure luck#their ex capitan just saw the potentional in her and gave this oppurtonity and she was like 'meh i'll think abt it'#and like fleet most likely expected to be chose as captain but when she didnt she prob had a breakdown especially bc the pony they chose#didnt care abt it#this is too long for tags hold on9
ok so as I said, fleet prob hated that these two ponies who werent as naturally talented as her just got the best rackings and probably felt like a failure. Sure she got in but shes not captain, just the third in command and that doesnt mean shit, is not as important as captain. Meanwhile soarin and spitfire deal with the biggest imposter syndrome ever because one didnt want to become one and simply did it bc she wanted to inspire other ponies to fly, while the other never thought he would be good enough to do anything and he thinks he doesnt deserve to be co captain. Neither of them wanted these positions they just wanted to fly and in the process they lost one of their childhood friends (the flashbacks says all).
But also...just, fleetfoot understanding that it means that no one will put her on a pedistal again, she can finally relax, she can finally just do her best and it would enough because no one is putting expectation on her. Shes finally free to just be enough. But how much is enough for the wonderbolts? Is her enough good enough for them? Just wanting to make the others see that she earned her spot because she is a natuarl gifted flyer and having to prove that she earned her spot and going again in the cycle of being the best
Spitfire finally seeing her hard work being paid off and seeing that all those times traning paid off. It doesnt matter if she sacrified her whole life and possible childhood for it she did it! But she sees all these ponies talking abot the old captains, how great they were and suddenly feeling like she has to work harder to make them see that she can be as great as them!
...
Soarin is just a dumpstire fire of insecurity, no overanalization herek is canon, he is sad and thinks that even though he is the co captain,he doesnt deserve that spot because he has not work hard enough and all of these other ponies have ben prodegies since childhood and he had to work twice as hard as them yet is not good enough, is never enough, he has to PROVE that he deserves it but even he doesnt believe that he does!
so TL;DR they all have imposter syndrome, overwork themselves to prove they deserve to be wonderbolts and have been shown since childhood (also theyre mentally ill)
I kinda just like going back over Parental Glidence screenshots to study how the other wonderbolts react to Rainbow's Parents and seeing what I can gauge from their expressions

I've been wanting to post this here for a while
Here we have Capitan Seashore Valdovis Hope. Former former commodore of her majesty's navy, now a retired officer living a peaceful life in Wings Dream as Ostimuri's Orphanage neighbor
Unfortunately , in the past few years the Captain has grown homesick for the sea , and wishes she could go back to her former job.
The only problem with that , is that there's not really that many openings for a commanding navy officer, so she has to conform with living the sailor life , from an inland city
Which it wouldn't be so bad , if it wasn't for the weird habits she has accumulated over the years , like turning her house into a boat for example, calling her beleaguered maid Crystal Clear "First mate" and FIRING A CANNON from her roof twice a day. . .
But she only fires blanks , so she says... , and the little foals seems to like her , so no pony can really complain about her.
