Lokelani Julia Wells Cooper, known to her family as Lola, died yesterday in Windenburg after living a long and full life.

Lola Wells was born in Brindleton Bay, the second child and second daughter of Makoa and Eliana Wells. She was an avid runner, talented basketball player, and world traveler. She also enjoyed anything that kept her outdoors, including hiking, swimming, and camping in Granite Falls.

Lola worked for many years as an interpreter and translator, living in Tomarang, San Myshuno, Sulani, and Mt. Komorebi, where she made numerous friends and had countless adventures. While in Mt. Komorebi, she married Cameron Cooper, a man she initially encountered when they kissed on New Year's Eve in San Myshuno.

After the birth of their first child, Cameron and Lola moved into her childhood home in Brindleton Bay, where they raised four children. When their nest was finally empty, the couple returned to Mt. Komorebi, where they lived until Cameron passed away of old age.

In elderhood, Lola married her high school sweetheart, Henry Campbell, a widower. When he passed, Lola moved into her youngest daughter's home in Windenburg, where she enjoyed knitting and watching K-dramas.

Lola Wells Cooper is survived by three children, Coco Nguyen, Jhai Cooper, and Zuri Yamamoto; eight granddaughters, Caimile Adomako, Giselle Cooper Greenburg, Tori Nguyen, Paulina Nguyen, Charley Cooper, Nina Nguyen, Ashlie Cooper, and Brandie Brown; one grand-niece, Paola Wells; and five great grandchildren, Brenna Greenburg, Lilah Greenburg, Olivia Greenburg, Etta Newberry, and Hendrix Newberry. She was preceded in death by her parents, Makoa and Eliana Machado Wells; her first husband, Cameron Cooper; her second husband, Henry Campbell; her sister, Soraia Fontaine Mendoza; her brother, Keone Wells; and her son, Kai Cooper.

Lola was best known for her larger than life personality, but she will be remembered for her endless generosity and unfailing kindness. Rest in peace, Lola. You were so, so loved.

Out of the characters that have been introduced who is your favorite?

[amethystblack]

hi! just wondering, what type of music would the gym leaders listen to? hardys little music puzzle being based off hendrix's purple haze made me sooo happy for that little geeky rock side of me and ive been thinking alot about music headcanons for the leaders since i love all kinds of music and its kinda funny to imagine Saphira being a... idk.... a Swiftie 😭?

saphira would not be a swiftie. she is very serious. definitely big heavy metal girl there.

julia though is hella into it. charlotte might be into it, but only ironically.

eve is probably into industrial.

titania's probably more the symphonic metal. amaranth and the like.

cain and aya are both into alternative.

shelly is very nice and sweet and has definitely adopted tania's taste. oops.

lin exclusively listens to siivagunner.

terra listens to bitcrushed 100gecs.

amaria would probably like bjorn.

florinia doesn't listen to music. just audiobooks.

laura's into classical. probably had to be convinced that it did not, in fact, help plants grow better. ame says she'd probably like celtic. idk what that is, but i'll add it.

arclight only listens to funky beats.

luna's definitely a trance girl. uh. pun not intended.

zero's into alternative metal. (god there are a lot of subgenres. stop making new music, people!!!)

ciel likes country but she'll never admit it. ace at least might admit it. when asked, ciel would say showtunes, and ace would say musicals.

that's all i got. this was way longer than i expected anyway, so.

17, 18, 19 and 33 for the book asks :)

RAAAAAAH THANK YOU 🫶

17. top five books of the year

out of everything i read this year (for the first time, not rereads) i'd have to say in no particular order: gideon the ninth by tamsyn muir, flowers in the attic by v.c. andrews, my dark vanessa by kate elizabeth russell, alias hook by lisa jensen, and black sheep by rachel harrison

18. least favorite books of the year

aaaaaaaugh ok so I think no book has ever evoked such rage in my as Flux by Orion Carloto and it's literally bc 90% of the book is blank paper deadass, so that would be my #1 worst book of the year. I did a lot better this year at DNFing books I wasn't vibing with bc I'm tired of needlessly torturing myself lolol but also I was severely disappointed by the midnight library by matt haig, the regrets by amy bonnaffons, america the beautiful? by blythe roberson, everything I know about love by dolly alderton, and death valley by melissa broder

19. best non-fiction books you read this year

goblin mode by mckayla coyle is a really cute self-improvement style book with tips on how to live your best goblin life and it was just a fun read all around. I also deeply enjoyed cultish by amanda montell, and trust me, i'm doctor ozzy by ozzy osbourne (the icon himself)

33. did you DNF anything?

so manny...... sooom nany . so many

girl in pieces by kathleen glasgow, princesses behaving badly by linda rodriguez mcrobbie, the cartographers by peng shepherd, on earth as it is on television by emily jane, sex and rage by eve babitz, tales of the city by armistead maupin, the boston girl by anita diamont, my best friend's exorcism by grady hendrix, perfume: the story of a murder by patrick suskind, home is where the bodies are by jeneva rose, how to kill a guy in ten ways by eve kellman, masters of death by olivie blake, cleopatra and frankenstein by coco mellors.... the list goes on. some of these i have the intention of going back to eventually, and some i just really didn't like

[bozandeniz]

Dağların yücelerinden bir ses geliyor

Yavaş bir melodi

Notalarında hüzün gizli

Yüksek bir yerlerden yankılanarak geliyor

Belki de

İçinde gözyaşları saklı gaydasın'da

Bir kız çocuğu geçiyor yanımdan

Kıvrım kıvrım sarı saçları

Sonrasında melodinin geldiği yere doğru koşuyor heyecanla

Bir kadın çığlığı geliyor yakınlardan

Melodinin ve notaların derinliğine kapılarak haykırıyor

Işığı yanan pencereler

Ay bütün güzelliği ile karşımda

Yakamoz ışıl ışıl etraf, dalgalar köpüklü

Kıyıda ses var dövüyor kumsalı

Gecenin saat on ikisi

Belkide gece yarısı

Gümüş yaka sahilinde

Alemde keyifler gıcır şen şakrak

Sahilde gezinti eğlence,müzik

Sevgililer el ele kahkaha bol

Elleriyle tutuşan sevgililer etraflarında dönerek dans ediyorlar

Durmak bilmez duygular var

Devamlı aralıksız müzik notaları

Melodiler hüzünlerden ayrılmış

Bir eğlence bir onurlu zafer eğlencesine dönmüş gibi

Ayaklar çıplak

Sanki yıldızlar kayıyor oralarda,

Sevişmeye hasret iki beden,

Renkler iç içe girmiş,

Gökkuşağı halt etmiş yanlarında,

ve

Müzik bitiyor

Sessiz bir perde iniyor

Sokakların sahnesine

Kız çocuğu kayboluyor

Kadının çığlığı kesiliyor

Bütün şeylerin içinde

en çok müziği sevdiğimi

daha iyi anlıyorum giderek

bazen karanlık akımlara pedal çevirten

ağır ritimli solo lar..

bazen inançla inançsızlık arasında gel gitler yaptıran

kaos yüzlüler..

bazen de umuda ve özgürlüğe çaldıran,

her umutsuzluğum ve hüznümü tellere vurdurtan gitarım

kimi zaman ilham kaynağım oluyor,

kimi zaman hüznüm

kimi zaman nefretim

kimi zaman mutluluğum..

bugün

evet bugün

hayatımın en mutlu anlarıma döndüm

İnançla inaçsızlık arasında gel gitli bugünümde

karanlık akımlara pedal çevirdiğim bu zamanda

yıllar sonra

bir kitabın sayfaları arasına saklamış olan

kayıp penamı buldum

belki senin için küçük bir budalaca mutluluk

ama

benim için her şeyden değerli bir anıdır kayıp pena..

üniversite yıllarımda

ensiferum' un konseri..

istanbul'a ilk konserleri için geldiklerinde

ön saflarda oluşum,

ve

Petri Lindroos ile kısa bir göz göze gelişimiz,

konser sonunda unutamayacağım bir küçük anıyla

eve uçarak gitmeme sebep olacaktı..

belkide arkadaşlarıma anlatmaktan sıkılmayacağım bir anı, bir iz olcaktı..

sevdiğim bir grup

sevdiğim bir insan

ve

asla vaz geçemediğim folk metal kültürü

ve petri nin elinden aldığım kayıp pena..

folk metal, ben, mutluluk, uçmak kısaca herşeyim ..

pena nın kitabın arasında düşüşü

sanki bir pena değil

bütün yaşadığım anıların birden

kitabın arasından kayarak düşmesi

ve hüzünlü yüzümde parlayan bir ışık gibi..

Penayı kayıp ettiğimde

her şeyden küsmüştüm

gitarımdan

müzikten

her şeyden..

hatayımda güzelliklerin olmamış her şeylerin anahtarıydı benim için..

penayı kayıp edişim

her şeyden kolayca vazgeçmeye hazır oluşumdan

ama yine de müziği bunun dışında tutuşumdan

biliyorum

gitarım artık jimmy hendrix, gary moore, bonjovi, ensiferum, kalmah' tan

çalmayacaktı

şu ya da bu müzik parçası değil

şu ya da bu müzik türü de

müzik

ta kendisi müziğin

asıl vazgeçemediğim..

yazmaktan vazgeçmek

şiirden, hepsinden, belki

ama

yazıyorum işte

süregiden tüm diğer şeyler gibi

her türlü beklenti,

umutlar

yorulduğunda, sıkıldığında

sırtından atıverdiğin kolayca

yalnızca zihninde ve

yalnızca bir süreliğine de olsa

müziğin yarattığı mutluluk

hiçbir şeye benzemeyen o tutku

hiç terk etmiyor beni..

üstelik bunun için

en küçük bir

çaba harcamam gerekmiyor

özsel bir bağ var aramızda..

tüm diğer şeyleri

daha çok sevmemi sağlıyor sanki müzik

sevginin nesnesi olabilecek her şeyi

bir başka özne olarak nesnesi

sevilen insanı

ve diğer tüm şeyleri

doğayı, kültürü

emek verilerek üretilen

tüm güzellikleri

melodiler, ezgiler yetiyorda

içimizin özgün bir biçimde

dışımızda beliriverişi

anlattığı şeyin ta kendisi değilse de

onun özüne en yakın duran

zamanın ve uzamın eşsiz bir biçimlenişi

seslerden ibaret dünyasında

ve sırf bundan dolayı

en soyut yaratım olsa da

bütünüyle soyut olan arkasındaki o nedenlerin

tutkuların, hüzünlerin, isyanların

belki de en somut biçimde açığa çıkışı

müzik...

beliriyor

o benzersiz ikliminin

ele geçmez ve özgün titreşimlerinde

salınıyor varlığın içinde

sürüp gittiği o akışta varlığı tümüyle

söylediklerinin kendisi kılarak

belirdiği gibi sönüveriyor sonra

ardında tüm o somutluklar'dan daha güçlü

ve inkar edilemez bir iz bırakarak
