ran more characters through this uquiz!! again, not all of them what are what i expected (Piper and Cleo's are pretty clear, but Lilith's did surprise me), but these descriptions do get me thinking

Piper Chanterelle

Love as a Performance

Your love is a masquerade, a dance, a work of art. You love with a veil across your face, unable to allow anyone to see the real you. Can that be considered love, you wonder? As a performer, you have all your lines prepared, and you know exactly what to say and when to say it. You’re charismatic and bold, seductive and hypnotic. Your love is a snake’s melody, the siren song of the sea. Your love is enchanting. Your love is melodic. Your love is afraid and fearful and longing. You ache to tear the veil off, you ache to cast poetry aside for the sake of something real and gritty. You’re terrified of the very thought. Being loved by you is to be loved by an artist; it is to be a muse. It reflects others beautifully, but never, ever yourself. Not really. Not truly.

Lilith de Marc

Love as a Choice

You choose to love. Love does not come to you easily, but every day you wake up and choose it. It would be so easy, wouldn't it, to grow cold and callous and grim. But you rise to greet the world, making the conscious effort to find something, anything to love. When you fall for someone, you do not kid yourself of their flaws. Instead, you resolve to see them for who they are, mistakes and all and you love them all the same. Your love is work, and it does not come easy. Your love sweats and toils. It is calloused and sunburned; it bears scars and comes with stories. Your love is worn, but it is no less valuable for it. Being loved by you is like being loved by a gardener, a mother, a teacher. Your love may not always be the simplest, but it is worth the effort.

Cleo Ironbark

Love as a Force of Nature

Your love is like whiplash –– it comes in with the rain, it blows the doors wide open. When you fall in love, it is sudden and hard and immense. It is powerful. It is earth-shaking and world-ending. Nature is a force, and that force can be destructive if you're not careful. See how the world is doused in gasoline and set on fire –– your love consumes, your love takes, your love burns. You're hot and cold all at once, a hurricane and a wildfire bound together in skin, and when you're in love, it can feel like it's eating you alive from the inside out. When you love, it is with everything you have because it is everything you have. Be careful, darling, because not everyone survives the storm.

Lost without you

a/n: yes im on my period, and yes im crying rn. JakexMC as always

A life went on. It was not the same.

But it went on.

Who would have believed two years ago that we would be where we are at this moment? In the beautifully decorated church where, less than twenty-four months ago, the funeral of one of our friends was held.

The decorative flowers, however, did not overshadow the beauty of the gorgeous bride, who was just walking down the aisle to join her soul there with the man of her life. The organist was playing a wedding tune on the piano, which was now ringing in my ears. I watched, listened and felt their love as they looked deeply into each other's eyes, put on rings or swore fidelity to each other until the end of their days. If someone were to ask me about a couple that went through so many storms and hurricanes together that didn't wipe them off the planet but only made them stronger I wouldn't have to think long.

Hannah and Thomas.

They were perfect. They had survived a nightmare from which they were nevertheless able to wake up, and the life that lay ahead seemed like a long-desired dream.

The wedding was also wonderful. But as I stood in the middle of the crowd, boisterously chanting the names of the new newlyweds a wave of loneliness and alienation hit me like hail on the first days of spring.

Life flashed on, even though it only took one look at each of them for me to know the loss they had experienced. Dan and Cleo stood under the bar and sipped whiskey, drinking up the fact that Richy was not here with them. Jessy sat distant, and although a small smile wandered on her lips, her eyes remained blank.

Similar to mine.

Where had he gone? What had happened to him? Was he still in hiding, or was he now being brutally interrogated by the FBI? He had to be alive. I didn't believe anything else.

Why did he leave me with only the memory of oceanic eyes and the bitter aftertaste of the last three words he wrote to me? I didn't know what feelings accompanied me. Anger, grief, sadness?

All that was certain was that I damn missed him.

What if I never forget him?

What if, all my life when I meet someone new I can never fall for them because they aren't him?

And just like that I started to cry.

I thought we'd have more time. If I had known how our story would turn out I would never have allowed it to end this way. Was it even possible to call it a story? What were we?

A failed potential. A faded picture. A memory.

We were memories that blurred each new morning when I had to wake up and get on with my life.

And even though my heart screamed that this chapter was not yet over, I knew deeply the painful truth. Sensitivity and longing believed that Jake would one day return. Perhaps he will write and explain that this was the only way he could keep us safe. Perhaps he will stand on my doorstep one day and beg for forgiveness. And perhaps he will sit in the last pew at my wedding, when I will finally give my heart to someone else, and I will never know of his presence.

But one thing hasn't changed and never will. I felt a warmth in my heart that told me that the hacker who turned my whole world upside down was alive. In the same city or on the other side of the globe. It didn't matter as long as he was safe.

Despite my gaze blurred by tears, I smiled. We were under the same sky at least.

My gaze then fell on Thomas. The man I had comforted as much as I could two years ago and convinced him to fight on. That his beloved one was alive and together we would find her.

But when he regained the love of his life, I lost mine.

Far right Gov. Ron DeSantis, a bigtime loser in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, is trying to make climate denial official policy in Florida.

Climate change will be a lesser priority in Florida and largely disappear from state statutes under legislation signed on Wednesday by the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, in a move which experts say ignores the reality of Florida’s climate threats. The legislation, which comes after Florida had its hottest year on record since 1895, also bans power-generating wind turbines offshore or near the state’s lengthy coastline. Florida is facing rising seas, extreme heat, flooding and increasingly severe storms. The legislation takes effect on 1 July and also boosts expansion of natural gas, reduces regulations on gas pipelines in the state, and increases protections against bans on gas appliances such as stoves, according to a news release from the governor’s office. “This purposeful act of cognitive dissonance is proof that the governor and state legislature are not acting in the best interests of Floridians, but rather to protect profits for the fossil fuel industry,” said Yoca Arditi-Rocha, executive director of the non-profit Cleo Institute, which advocates for climate change education and engagement.

Republicans are in thrall to fossil fuel companies which are intent on destroying the planet. Recently Donald Trump solicited $1 billion from Big Oil in campaign contributions in return for him eliminating climate friendly policies and ignoring pro-environment laws.

Trump promised to scrap climate laws if US oil bosses donated $1bn – report

Florida is arguably the most climate sensitive US state. DeSantis seems eager to make it even more vulnerable.

Florida is already about 74% reliant on natural gas to power electric generation, according to the US Energy Information Administration. Opponents of the bill DeSantis signed say it removes the word “climate’ in nine different places and moves the state’s energy goals away from efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gases blamed for a warming planet. Greg Knecht, director of the Nature Conservancy in Florida, told the Washington Post the new measure was “very much out of line with public opinion”, with polls showing that a majority of Floridians believe in climate change and want action. Knecht said: “We’re seeing flooding and we’re seeing property damage and we’re seeing hurricanes … [and] we’re turning around and saying, ‘Yeah, but climate change isn’t really real, and we don’t need to do anything about it.’”

Apparently DeSantis likes having President Biden bail out his state every time there's a new climate disaster like record-braking Hurricane Ian.

The only way to keep fossil-fuel Republicans out of office is to Vote Democratic.

Adding "don't say climate" to Florida's "don't say gay" policies hurts not just Florida but all of Earth.

EDIT: Just heard this item on NPR. The upcoming summer will be hotter than usual in most of the US. And warmer oceans mean a greater chance of hurricanes.

Another hotter-than-normal summer lies ahead for the U.S., forecasters say

If a major hurricane hits Florida this year we should call it Hurricane DeSantis.

Meowy Christmas everyone!!! This video is 6+ years old but it will forever be one of my favorites 😻

Mr. Larry always had to be involved when I was working out, especially if I was pole dancing! So much so that we nicknamed him "Larry the Pole Dancing Cat" 😹 He has since passed away (may he RIP) but Christmas was by far his favorite holiday! He loved the music, the food, the decorations, and most importantly the pole dancing challenges!

This video is from one of the Cleo's Rock n' Pole Christmas challenges from years past, I think around the time the Cleo the Hurricane Asteria Velvet collection was originally released 💖

How do we feel about the flex and point of the foot girlies? My pole dance instructor said it accentuates the leg twerk but I'm not sure I like a flexed foot when dancing

In Greek mythology, the gods punished not only guilty mortals, but also their families... Naomi Solace was unlucky enough to get into a gang shootout in Puerto Rico. Darren Knowles was returning late from training with and did not notice the truck. Latitia Lake was almost home when a strong hurricane blew up and one of the lightning struck her.

It's good that Apollo knows how to find an elegant way out of such situations...

One day, Hecate's 11-year-old daughter Lottie Cleo, the one whose eye was blackened by Apollo, quietly calls Will with her to her master's possession. Will goes with her boldly and confidently, he knows her, she will never do anything dangerous unless there is a serious reason.

She takes him to the kennels and.. there are no dogs there, only three wolves, - two females and one male.

One of the females, very beautiful, large and graceful with silky golden hair, breaks away from a silver bowl of meat and raises her long muzzle at him... And her eyes are a beautiful sky-blue shade and they literally light up with joy at the sight of him.

Her bright silver collar is exquisitely engraved with "Naomi"...

Lottie Cleo opens the bars and the son, turned into a slave and deprived of his voice, reunites with his mother in wolf form.

He hugs her and buries his face in her fur. The tears spill themselves and dampen the beautiful golden coat. It was almost the same shade as his hair, before the gods cut off his and his siblings' tongue and forced them to wear nothing but bland tunics.

The wolf wails at the boy, pushing her face into his shoulder. The two others wolves stare at them in sympathy, not ready interrupt the moment.

Lottie leans on the bars and watches. She almost feels envious, observing the reunion between her master's son and the mother.

Almost. She still has hope that her father quietly awaits at home, unaware of the gods' deeds.

Cleo had an adventure for a few days as we evacuated to my sister’s due to the hurricane. She was not pleased but here are a few pictures of her suffering.

Upon arrival, we barricaded ourselves in my niece’s room. This is partly because my sister is highly allergic to Cleo and partly because there were also three dogs downstairs. Cleo spent nearly an hour just sitting here under this desk.

I was watching live news coverage of Milton the whole time. Mostly she slept on the pillow next to me but when she was awake, she was very interested.

She survived and is back to her usual snoozing on my desk or in my reading chair. And of course yelling for food.

thinking about how in 1x18 'bad moon rising' rikki's powers go haywire and nearly set all of mako island on fire, how if the same thing happened to emma she would probably have an elsa frozen moment and conjure up a snowstorm. if lunar madness struck cleo in the same way she would probably create a tsunami or a hurricane based on her powers, or maybe every nearby water source would jump up at her not unlike the water tentacle

what would happen if charlotte's three powers were to go awry like that? would she face a forest fire, a snowstorm, and a hurricane all at once? what about bella? would everything around her turn to jelly in a more pronounced version of her allergy fiasco? would everything solidify like glass or just explode? much to think about
