What is project Sirrus?

Did you know it is the 70th year anniversary of Noah's cloud seeding experiment?

They dropped large chunks of dry ice in the eye of the hurricane.

The eye moved 100 miles west of their expected landfall and changed direction.

A/N: And in a non-unhinged Snape story ^_^! Look I know his bday isn't till January but if you believe, his bday can be every day LOL. This lil short was inspired by a rare wholesome idea that me and @deepperplexity chatted about (love you dear 🥰🥰🥰)

Of course, though I had to add something spicy into it bc well you know me.. Anyways please enjoy and let me know how you like it!

There had been some sort of mild surprise when Severus had awakened on his 70th birthday to find that his hair, once an intermingling of black and white strands had turned fully white seemingly overnight.

The change hadn’t been immediately noticed well because honestly, he had been more interested in the more pleasurable way he was being woken up. Which was with the lips of his wife wrapped deliciously tight around his cock as she enthusiastically mouthed at his hardened shaft before she was taking him into her mouth with fervor.

Even though he had been fast asleep just moments ago, this was more than enough to fully wake him in both senses as his hand trailed down and his fingers looked for [Y/n].

His hand was met with her own as she gave it a little squeeze before she was coming up for air, the hungry look in her eyes was barely visible due to the lack of lighting from the curtains still being drawn.

“Good morning,” she purred before she was leaning back down and sucking at the tip of his cock, tongue swirling in his leaking slit and lapping his seed up right before taking him almost completely in her mouth in one go.

A loud groan filled the air of the dimly lit room as his hips canted upwards burying his cock deeper down her throat from the sudden burst of pleasure that flooded his veins. His head fell back against the pillows as she held his hand, his thumb stroking the top of her hand as she continued.

“Oh my love that’s it, use that wonderful mouth of yours. So beautiful,” he panted as he felt himself already close to release.

She moaned a noise of contentment at the praise as she raked her nails lightly against his thigh, feeling the quiver of his muscles as she swallowed around him enjoying his noises of pleasure.  He wasn’t going to last long as he felt his cock begin to throb incessantly at the attention it was receiving from his wife and it wasn’t before long that his fingers were tightening around the bed sheets as his limbs began to tremble and stiffen at the impending orgasm. 

A few more well-time sucks here, another languid lick there and [Y/n]’s mouth was being filled with a salty liquid that she greedily drank as Severus shouted her name before letting out a prolonged moan as he emptied himself in her mouth.

Once she was sure she had lapped everything up, she gave his cock one last gentle squeeze and a kiss, causing Severus to shiver as he ran his fingers through his hair, groaning quietly at his morning call.

“Happy birthday to you~,” [Y/n] sang playfully as she crawled up towards him, damp lips pressing against his softly and letting out a faint sigh as he kissed her slowly, the taste of his spend still lingering as he did so.

Fingers stroked her bare hips as their lips languidly met each others. Little rumbles came from Severus' chest as [Y/n] would nip his bottom lip playfully, and quiet squeaks left her own lips when he would bite back. 

It wasn’t before long she was letting out a giggle as she pulled away from him causing him to arch an eyebrow as she shimmed out of his hold and out of bed her body still on display.

“[Y/n]?”

“Meet me in the kitchen in twenty!” Was all she responded with as she grabbed her robe that had been tossed haphazardly on top of a chair from the night before. Wrapping it around her and securing it she turned and gave him a wink as she scampered out of the room, a soft tune being hummed from her lips.

By the time she was already out of earshot, Severus couldn’t help but let out a chuckle as he ran his fingers through his hair. Head flopping back down into the pillow as he let the buzz in his body calm.

Almost exactly after twenty minutes passed he did appear in the kitchen, hair still a mess and a bit of sleep still in his eyes as he was more interested in what [Y/n] was up to.  And that’s where the change would be noticed as he saw the twinkling awe in [Y/n]’s eyes as she placed the last plate down on a beautifully decorated table and came up to him when he entered the kitchen. 

At first, he was confused as she stared at him as a child would at their new toy. Mouth slightly agape in a smile, eyes wide as she went to play with a few loose strands that were in his face before she whispered in a barely contained amazement,

“Severus your hair! It's gorgeous!”

Not having glanced at himself in the mirror when he woke up, as he had gone to find [Y/n] after her wake-up call he was of course even more puzzled as she continued to play with his hair, a squee leaving her as she pecked his lips.

“Ohh! Happy birthday, darling but I think the lucky one is me today! Merlin, Severus I never thought you could become even more handsome but I was wrong!”

“Love what are you talking about my hair is the same as yesterday albeit less combed considering the early present you decided to give me.”

Her smile instantly grew at his words before she let a raucous laughter burst from her lips while she also tried to speak.

“Well I'm sorry dear I had to get breakfast ready for you but also the same? Severus! Did you not even look in the mirror yet? Unless you’ve been using the color change charm on your hair all these years then I suggest you take a peak.”

Now this had him frowning as [Y/n] gently nudged him back in the opposite direction as he was still utterly perplexed at what she had said.

Her tinkling laughter was still audible as he padded into the hallway, making a beeline for the bathroom to see what in the world she was talking about.

However, when he did finally see what she was going on about he had to say that he was slightly taken aback about the sudden color change, due to it being...well sudden of course. One day there was just a light smattering of white strands in his mostly dark hair that he would fuss about whenever he saw more of them show up. 

But now that it was just white as snow, he was surprised that he wasn’t more annoyed by it than before. There was a simple acceptance of it. He didn’t allow himself to ponder it much longer as he went back to join [Y/n] in the kitchen and a bright smile on her face as he came to join her at the table.

They ate, basked in each other’s presence, chatted about the plans for the day, and finally when finished [Y/n] happily gave him a beautifully wrapped present that contained an assortment of rare potion ingredients that she had been able to get imported for him.

"That’s not all though!” He remembered her preening at him, the soft crow’s feet in the corners of her eyes visible as she smiled brightly warming him in every way as she pulled away from the hug he had engulfed her in and opening her palm to show him what she was holding.

A deep purple piece of satin was in her hand that seemed to gleam in the morning light that streamed through the windows and danced on the walls.

“Oh and what is this for?”

“Don’t be silly Severus, you know exactly what this is for. How many times have I seen you fuss at your hair when you’re working on something?  You think you would put it up more often with that brilliant brain of yours but here I am, or rather here is something that will do it for you!”

There was only a playfulness in her tone as she scolded him while handing him the smooth piece of fabric.

“I thought it be a good gift, had it charmed so that it ties itself and doesn’t come loose until you tug on it. Try it darling.”

Taking another curious look at the fabric he did as he was told, sweeping his hair into a ponytail and lifting the ribbon towards his hair, and to his surprise, it indeed slipped from his fingers like it had a mind of its own and in a second he could feel his hair being pulled and secured. 

“A lovely gift indeed, though I wonder how much of it is a gift for you as I know you have a penchant for pulling my hair down when you get in a mood.”

There was a little smirk on his features as she grinned back at him while wrapping her arms around his waist and snaking one arm up to loosen the fabric. As she had said after a gentle tug it easily came loose and so did the long white strands of hair that framed his face and tickled hers a little as he leaned his head down.

“What can I say Mr.Snape my deviousness knows no bounds when it comes to you.”

“And I would have it no other way love.” 

That was the day his hair had turned white which if he was being honest was not a day he had ever thought he would ever see considering his more hazardous youth. 

But he was more than grateful to be able to see it after all those years of being shunned. Years of heartbreak, pain, and suffering at the hands of others and even at his own hands. He was happy, ecstatic even if he didn’t show it to be here celebrating it with his doting wife whom he had also been lucky to meet decades ago. 

The one person whose presence and love felt like sunlight coming through a glass pane on a cool fall day. Warming him gently, with her adoration and kindness that he had so needed after years of neglect.

That birthday was also the day he had received his favorite gift as simple as it was. Each day afterwards he would wear the ribbon, picking it up from its place on top of a velvet box that it came with and tying back his hair that had grown towards the middle of his back.

He had toyed with the thought of cutting it as he did many years ago, but the doe eyes that [Y/n] had immediately shown him when she begged him not to was what had saved the strands.

And now with the ribbon his routine slightly changed, which sounded silly to say. Whenever he knew he was about to be up to something that would benefit from not having hair in his face the ribbon was the first thing he reached for. 

Whether it was potion making, taking notes, or cooking meals for him and his love the ribbon was in his hair. And with it, it also felt as if [Y/n] was sitting beside him even on days when she had to leave the house and he was left to his own devices. 

Such a simple gift yet it meant the world to him. 

And so it became a trend that whenever it was time for a gift-giving occasion he would find himself saddled up with a new ribbon from [Y/n]. From the color to the style of the ribbon, there was always a variation, something that made it a little different from the last.

‘Just in case you want to switch it up.’

As she had smartly said when she had given him his second one. Yet even as his collection grew, the love for the first one grew with it. While the other ones were just as finely made and maybe even richer in style and fabric, the first one with its beautiful purple sheen was still ever his favorite. 

When [Y/n] asked him about it as she watched him take it off one night she was met with silence as he made himself comfortable. His arm wrapped around her shoulder, and brought her close to his side as a soft noise of contentment escaped both of their lips as she cuddled close and looked up at him waiting for an answer. 

Looking down at her with dark eyes that were always so gentle when they were on her, he spoke, 

“I think it’s because it reminds me of our love darling. No matter how much time has passed or how much it has endured day in and day out it keeps it shine. Never dulling, never fraying. I’m truly quite fond of it.”

The light that was in her eyes seemed to brighten as she lifted her hand up to finger through the white strands that framed his face. A smile was offered up to him as she leaned up to bump her nose against his, nuzzling it gently as she stared at him.

“Oh Severus.”  Her whisper was tender, and soft like the touch of his fingers that went to hold her side. “I love you, darling.”

“As do I [Y/n], as do I.” He answered back to her, eyes glinting with adoration as he pressed their lips together gently in the dimly lit room that felt warm with affection and care that would always be there for them both.

A/N: Long white-haired Snape is 👌👌👌 Like it's just an image I love so much. His hair tied up as he sits with his wife in their cottage just being cute together. It makes my heart hurt and wobble yet also tight with happiness. Anywhose thanks for stopping bye and reading

Feel free to scream at me as always ^^!

Let’s Investigate! - Episode 6

I quit the official assignment and seeded the lot with spooky objects via the cheat menu.

The helicopter arrived and carried Orange and Jin to the 70th floor at 23:44, so that became the new start time for scoring.

Jin: “Tread carefully, please, Mr. Bailey-Moon, for this apartment is filled with turmoil. Sometimes there are even actual ghosts present. Let me handle them and focus on the the spectres and spooky objects yourself!”

Orange nodded. Turning around a corner, he realized that Mrs. Phillips had already made a good start on fighting the haunt: three spectres were nicely contained in vials specifically enchanted for this purpose. (So in character! The idea of giving the spectres stuff for free to make them vanish is alien to Caroline, lol.)

Jin: “One, two, three, four... That would be leftover emotions of Officer Wilson, Officer Deckart, grandpa John and the corpse in the swimming pool, whose name nobody remembers. Although on second thought the green spectre might be one of Emma’s...”

Orange: “Emma’s...? Our Emma from the contest? Emma Phillips?”

Jin: “Uh-huh.”

Orange: “And you are somewhere on the extended family tree, too, you said? Markus was correct, Detroit really is a village!”

Jin: “Yeah. I grew up with all the stories, so I’m inadvertantly adding my own emotions to this mess... It’s good that someone like you, who wasn’t involved in the kidnapping, is present to help us, Mr. Bailey-Moon!”

Passing by the arboretum, Orange noticed that it was full of spooks, too. With some vines it was hard to tell whether they were part of the display or of the haunt, but Orange decided to cross this bridge when it arrived.

He’d have to smash the glass to gain entry...

Orange: “How about a picture of the haunted arboretum, Mister... uh...”

Spectre: “Shepard. Officer Kellam Shepard.”

So. Now the pool corpse has a name, one I won’t forget anytime soon!

After a while Caroline swooped in to greet the cop. It was always cops in the doorway...

Orange: “Good evening, Mrs. Stern-Phillips! Nice work with the spectres!”

Orange has already met Officer Deckart’s ghost in episode 1, b.t.w., but never learned his name.

When One Person's Garbage Becomes Another's Lifetime of Treasures

One of art collector and documentarian Dennis Forbes' first finds came at about age 13, when he rescued from a Brooklyn, NY dumpster a lovely oil painting some may find reminiscent of Martin Johnson Heade's Magnolias on Blue Velvet, a favorite of mine in fact, and which hangs in the National Gallery of Art.

Others however, namely his too proper mother, would classify it as garbage and insist he bring it back from where it came. So it was that young Dennis began his life as an art collector, later traveling from Brooklyn to his grandmother's home in North Carolina on the bus, carrying with him his carefully wrapped treasure.

Now that painting, in the original gold spray painted frame it was outfitted in by grandma, adorns the space at the Sebrof Forbes Cultural Arts Center in Kensington, where continuing to nurture this passion that became his life's work, Dennis and his wife Matoka Forbes decided to share their collection with the community. Purchasing the Lafayette Credit Union building at University Blvd and Newport Mill Rd, the Forbes opened the Center with the goal of planting the seeds Dennis found in a dumpster for other young people to find in their own communities.

Amongst the various spaces in the Center, Dennis hopes to support the creative community across what he describes as five cultural pillars of music, dance, art, theater and film, and wellnes. Currently on the website he is advertising a chef's seminar to demonstrate the creativity of the culinary arts world and improving wellness through food choices.

He's also sponsoring art classes for homeschooled children and wants to open his space in other creative ways to artists and those who love them. While the first floor features a large open gallery space suitable for event rentals, anything from a recent 70th birthday party to a formal art exhibition, the second floor features a large central meeting space with tables suitable for networking or break out sessions, a podcasting room, and a series of other smaller rooms Dennis envisions as pop up art spaces. Essential to these pop ups are books. Yes, you know those ancient bound volumes with pages and pages of words in them. Hundreds of books, many of them older titles you might imagine long ago cleared from other bookshelves, some about art and others not necessarily, await the curious reader. Here is where visitors to the Center might discover art for example in sport, as Dennis identifies a room with some team memorabilia, posters, and athlete biographies, or otherwise unearth their own treasure. With an extensive background in African American art traditions and artists, Dennis also features a room where you might find his own treatises on African American printmaking and one he authored after traveling across country to document 84 African American artists at work in their studios.

Check out the Sebrof Forbes Cultural Arts Center website here and the next event titled Change That Narrative scheduled for November 30, 2024.

I found a rock on a cliff and lifted it to find a korok that gave me my 69th seed (363 total). In the distance, I could see a korok puzzle and made my way over to it and solved the puzzle by moving a piece to complete the puzzle and it gave me my 70th seed (364 total). I found yet another korok when I took the cork out of a stump by attaching a boulder to it and it gave me my 71st seed (365 total). I was going across some more cliffs and I found a bunch of stuck rocks in a design with one missing. I found the lose rock and put it in place and the korok that appeared gave me my 72nd seed (366 total).

Sunday 19.02.23

Another special day, this time at the Peacock, near Chatsworth to have lunch with Elaine, Rachel and Maisie. Not only was there a very obvious 70th birthday balloon awaiting but also a bag full of seven boxes each containing ten presents to celebrate each decade of C's life - coffees, knitting wool, chocolate, smellies, candles, herb seeds and ginger biscuits! So thoughtful and typically kind of my little sister - it must have taken an age. Maisie behaved beautifully and waited patiently through the meal and then out to the car to take delivery of the most delicious chocolate birthday cake (a competitor for the diabetic cake C had made from kidney beans!)
