The Great ACT-NSW-NZ Trip, 2023-2024 - Arthur's Pass

From Hokitika east again, back over the Southern Alps via Arthur's Pass. In fact we stayed at the alpine village of that name.

It was quite windy.

Arthur's Pass is named after the surveyor Arthur Dudley Dobson, but of course the Māori knew about it. They just didn't use it anymore, preferring the Hurunui Pass to the north. Since the pass was carved out by glaciers, and is blocked in placed by moraine deposits, surveyors actually had to wade through wetlands to get through parts of it, despite the altitude. A road from Christchurch on the east coast was constructed after the discovery of gold on the west. In more recent years the road has been extensively improved to reduce the problems with avalanches and landslides, including the construction of the Otira Viaduct at what had been known as Death Bend.

The mountains in this part of the Southern Alps are all greywacke, not the most visually interesting of rocks, but the hanging valleys and alpine bogs were certainly worth stopping for, even if we didn't see any Kea.

Most of the alpine flora had white or yellow flowers, which is apparently the norm but I have no idea why. We also saw a good number of species we'd already seen at lower alitude, and a few from groups I've covered before but couldn't narrow down far enough.

Prompt 121

There’s several de-aged Danny prompts, but what about de-aged Jazz. Most agree she’s very liminal after all, so who's to say ghost things won’t affect her too? 

So imagine with me, Jazz gets hit with something, and she is now child; maybe even baby. Danny panics, flees with his emergency bag alongside the other three in Team Phantom. So now they’re four teens with a very small child on the run. Four teens and a small child who have run into several heroes. 

Heroes who are all very concerned.

Im Sol and Ryu Sun Jae in every other episode of Lovely Runner:

[beauregardlionett]

been thinking about the orym and zeru conversation from 105 and sitting in a puddle of angsty thoughts about the uncertain future because orym saying "your son saved my life a day ago" and zeru saying "maybe you'll get the chance to return the favor" and orym saying "your son has already carved a very impressive verse in the pages of history and if my friends and i have anything to do with it he'll pen many more" and thinking ALLLLL the way back to the beginning of the campaign when dorian said "no debts between us" and how that could be taken one of two ways and remain true

something something fathers and sons and the inevitable dance of fate and pride and loss something something

I see there's posts floating around directly and blatantly arguing against mine (same wording) by completely misunderstanding what I said. I'm fucking BACK, babey. Should've bought some hay-scented fragrance while I was at Sephora today, because I am once again your strawman!
