#lagoon 46

[kiriacoulismediterranean]

The Lagoon 46 catamaran proves her seaworthiness with her exceptional performance under sail. A larger sail plan has increased SA/D ratios.  Her mast has been repositioned, moving it back has provided a very high aspect ratio. A shorter boom and a self-tacking jib make it easily manageable.

Oh StarClan... your dash has turned into warrior cats again.

#sorry <3 #this one has parts that are based off of that #one post rhats like "if there were cat-people #do you think calico tboys would try to dye over their patches"

:O Kip's mate has finally been revealed!!! And his name is Night? Cooool.

🍲 ex-thundrclan-kipper Follow

Yeah haha. Technically his full name is Night Hunter, Bringer of Darkness, but it feels so weirdly formal calling him that, so I usually stick to just Night.

Hahaaaaa.... my mother found out ive been slowly dyeing my ginger patches black...

🪺 robbbinpaw Follow

Why would you do that??? Being a tortie is so cool, I wish I had ginger patches! They're so pretty, why do you want to get rid of them???

🥬 rxttencatmint Follow

Uhm. Gender dysphoria??

Like. I know cis male tortoiseshells exist but they're so rare that most cats take one look at me and go "oh, tortie, must be a girl" and that hurts.

🪺 robbbinpaw Follow

OH STARCLAN im so sorry Rot i wasnt even thinking about you being trans, I probably sounded really insensitive... I do understand what you're saying now.

Didn't even ask, how did your mom take it? Does she know why?

🥬 rxttencatmint Follow

You're fine <3 I get it. And no, she uh.. has no clue why I did it, she thinks I'm in my "emo phase" or something.

🐍 xviper-the-fagx

Uhh unrelated but what do you use to dye your fur?? Asking for... science...

#"science" meaning i am also a tortie tboy #well technically i'm calico but ykwim

I can't be the only one here who thinks it's unfair to allow kittypets on this site. Posting pictures of themselves and their mates inside of the twolegplace, influencing the young kits on this site to abandon their Clans... surely everyone else sees the problem with this as well.

This is Clanblr, not "Kittypetblr". This was specifically made as a space for Clan cats to connect, not for kittypets to push their lifestyle on us.

They're going to convince our kits to abandon their home and their belief in StarClan just for a more secure life.

#EXACTLY #I only recently found out ex-tc Kipper was a kittypet #it was so upsetting to me because i've always loved his wood-scratch art #to find out he's a clan-abandoner was so saddening

The recent drama surrounding Kipper the Kittypet is sad and I hate that he's being bashed just for existing, but it's also incredibly stupid. I believe the cat who wrote the original post said something like, "it's CLANblr, not KITTYPETblr," and then something about belief in StarClan and I just... do you even realize how many Clanblr mods are non-Clan and/or don't believe in StarClan?

To name a few, @s-t-a-r-burning is former WindClan now rogue & openly an atheist, @theshadowhaseyes has been a kittypet his whole life, and @ssuunnrraayy-p has made zir entire blog about how ze travels from one Clan to another & doesnt consider zimself a Clan cat. Those are all mods. "It's clanblr no-" shut up. Just shut up.

I think a lot of cats put way too much emphasis on the parts of the warrior code that dont matter, and forget the parts that do, like "feed elders and kits first" and "never neglect a kit in pain or danger"... I feel like those are significantly more important than "a warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet," but maybe that's just me.

I feel like we don't talk enough about how SkyClan got chased out of their own territory during a time of crisis rather than all of the Clans trying to make room for everyone...

I mean, seriously. I know it's taught to all SkyClan apprentices, but I've talked to some of my friends from other Clans and they just. Didn't know that. They were never taught that the other Clans allowed SkyClan to be chased out due to territory loss.

🔲 sstep-xoxo-deactivated

:/ im pretty sure the whole thing about skclan being kicked out of their territory is just a conspiracy theory

🔲 sag3-chas3s-squirr3ls-deactivated

Imagine trying to tell a cat that they don't know their own Clan's history 💀

#ohh i finally found it again #that 1 fucker trying to say that skyclan's history is a "conspiracy theory"

Despite his short tenure and the relatively small impact that the narrative allowed him to have, Ray was in fact a "real" member of YJ, not just a temp, and here's why.

He is specifically recruited as a replacement for two full-fledged members who recently left. This is a major plot of an entire issue, and his addition was significant enough to be the focal point of the cover. No one makes any suggestion that this is meant to be a temporary appointment (although Cassie does intend to try to use him to lure Bart back).

(Young Justice 1998 #41)

Once Tim returns, the team tries to dismiss Ray. He seems insulted by this and makes it clear that his understanding was that the position was a long-term one.

(#46)

There's a whole argument about this. The original members are suddenly less keen on adding new people (this wasn't a problem for them when Anita or Lobo came on board, though) and try to dismiss Ray as too old. He argues that they need him more than he needs them. Tim tries to offer putting him on reserve.

But after Ray intervenes in a fight between Kon and Cassie and puts Kon in his place, there's no further question of his belonging on the team, and he runs in the election for team leader alongside the others.

This is all very different from, say, the team that fills in for Young Justice when they briefly take a hiatus during #24 (Batgirl, CM3, Lagoon Boy, Flamebird, and Beast Boy). There's no storyline about seeking these people out, they stick around for only one issue, and there's no expectation from either them or the regular team that they will do more than fill in. These characters are definitely temps. So is the large crowd that comes to help out Anita invade a country in #49-51.

But Ray continues with the team even after Bart and Tim return, and there's no further discussion of dismissing him. When the whole team is pictured together, he's there. When Greta polls her teammates about helping her break her father out of prison, she asks Ray too. He's involved in all major missions, and although he's not very developed or prominently featured, he does have his moments to shine (...often literally. sorry).

(#47, 48, 49, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)

He is among the team in the climactic battle with Secret and pictured in the panel in which the team welcomes her back when she is restored to life. He is standing some distance away watching, but so is Anita. They're both on this team, but they don't have the long-standing friendship with Greta that the original team does.

(#55)

Is Ray particularly significant to the narrative as a whole? No.

Did he get to establish meaningful bonds with the others? No.

Was he a good fit for the team overall? Also no. (I maintain that they should have brought in someone like Grant Emerson, who is closer in age to the others, has previous experience working with Bart and with other teenagers, and would have been unaffiliated by that time, rather than nineteen-year-old JLA-er Ray, who has much less in common with these kids.)

But as weird and random as his addition was, he absolutely was a full-fledged member of Young Justice. And come on...have you read his series? There's so much that could have been made of his working with this new team. Why don't we play with that more?

Campaign 2 Episode 141: Fond Farewells

[sleepisapriviligethatidonthave]

Around March I got the urge to watch G1, so I opened Youtube and started the episodes in the order in which they were listed on the official Hasbro channel.

Turns out that is not a good idea.

I figured it out around the middle of season 1 and went searching on the internet to find if someone had any idea why is that.

After a while I found a forum of people talking about how they made their own order of the episodes. After a bit of scrolling I found God.

pitt55 shared his entire reconfiguration of all the 98 episodes on the forum. You'll find his reply if you scroll down just a bit.

I used his guide and didn't have a single problem from then on, and I did make a copy of it and pasted it in my notes for easier access so I'm putting it here for anyone who wants to watch G1 and is/was as confused as me.

The Haunted Atlas

Bachelor's Grove Cemetery - Bremen Township, Cook County, Illinois

41°37′51.16″N / -087°46′14.27″W

One of the Chicago areas most haunted sites, with a long history of more than 100 reports of paranormal phenomena occurring there. It is often called one of the most haunted cemeteries in the world, fascinating ghost investigators and ghost thrill-seekers for decades.

Bachelor's Grove Cemetery is a small, one-acre plot near the Rubio Woods Forest Preserve near the southwestern suburb of Midlothian. The cemetery is fenced in, with a single gate on the south side and a single path winding through the plot. A stagnant pond lies just outside the northwestern corner.

The cemetery is overgrown and unkempt and is subject to frequent vandalism, perhaps because of the popularity of the haunting legends. Graves and markers have been defaced and mutilated, and coffins have been disinterred and opened. Evidence of animal sacrifices near a lagoon at one corner of the cemetery has pointed to possible occult rites practiced there. It is not certain why the cemetery became known as Bachelor's Grove in 1864. According to one popular story, the name came from unmarried men who were among the first settlers. Perhaps more likely, it was derived from a German family name such as Batchelder. During the gangster era of the 1920s and 1930s, bodies of the victims of gang warfare allegedly were dumped in the lagoon.

Stories of haunting phenomena began to proliferate in the 1960s. Burials decreased after 1965, and the area became popular as a lover's lane and gathering spot for youths— many of whom were eager to be spooked. Youthful vandals also began visiting the cemetery, overturning tombstones, desecrating and opening graves and strewing bones about. Haunting reports reached a peak in the 1970s and 1980s. The last recorded burial was in 1989. Little of the strange phenomena has been connected to known historical fact or to specific individuals buried there. Rather, most of the stories are more like urban legends circulating elsewhere in the United States, especially in the Midwest. Some historians believe that some stories have been fabricated by ghost hunters in order to draw customers for ghost tours.

The most-often reported apparition at Bachelor's Grove is a vanishing house or floating house. It is a two-storied Victorian farmhouse with a white picket fence, a colonnaded porch with a swing and a warm light shining within it. The house is always seen at a distance and looks convincingly real. But those who approach it find that it shrinks in size the closer they get, or abruptly disappears altogether. According to legend, anyone who succeeds in reaching it and entering will never return. The vanishing house has been widely reported since the 1960s and drawn by numerous witnesses; however, there is no historical record of such a house existing in the vicinity.

A number of ghosts of human beings have been reported, including repeated sightings of hooded phantom monks, and a woman, called either the "White Lady" or the "Madonna of Bachelor's Grove." The presence of phantom monks is puzzling as no monastery was ever in the area. The White Lady carries a baby in her arms and wanders aimlessly through the cemetery on nights of the full moon. Popular myth says she is the ghost of a woman who is buried there next to the grave of her baby. No historical records document the story.

Other apparitions are a two-headed man, a child, a black carriage and a glowing man in yellow. Many reports have been made of sightings of a ghostly farmer and his horse and plow. The story goes that in the 1870s, a farmer was plowing land near the pond when his horse inexplicably bolted into the water; both man and animal were drowned. Phantom vehicles also have been reported on the cemetery's path and on the Midlothian Turnpike just outside the plot. The vehicles vanish as people approach them. Some people have reported seeing or being in phantom accidents. Flashing and dancing lights have been reported in the cemetery, especially a blue light that resembles that of a police car.

One of the cemetery's best-known legends is "The Hooked Spirit" or "The Hook," an urban legend. According to the story, a young man takes his date to the cemetery and tells her about the Hooked Spirit, hoping she will be frightened into his arms. Instead, she asks to be taken home. The young man obliges her. When he reaches her home and gets out to open her door, he finds a hook swinging on the door handle—supposedly the spirit had been attempting to open the door just as they drove away. Another urban legend linked to Bachelor's Grove is "The Boyfriend's Death." A young couple park at the cemetery one night for necking or lovemaking. They are interrupted by a radio report that a mass murderer has escaped from a psychiatric hospital nearby and may be headed in their direction. They decide to leave, but naturally, the car won't start. The young man gets out to go for help and instructs the girl to remain in the car. Presently she hears a strange scratching on the roof but thinks it's only tree branches. Her date does not return, but soon a police car comes. An officer tells her to get out, walk toward him and not look back. She does. More police cars arrive. The girl’s curiosity gets the better of her, and she looks behind her. She is horrified to see the body of her boyfriend hanging head down from a tree, his throat slit ear to ear. His fingernails are scratching the car roof.

Though the incidence of phenomena peaked in the 1970s and 1980s, hauntings continue to be reported. In the 1990s, reports began of a spectral Black Dog. The large dog is seen near the entrance to the road and vanishes as people draw near. According to lore, such "graveyard dogs" are either guides or are warnings to visitors not to trespass on cemetery grounds.

A new volcanic eruption has begun spewing huge amounts of lava over 100 feet into the air at the Sundhnúks crater in Iceland.

Powerful seismic activity was detected at the Reykjanes Peninsula crater series just before 11 a.m. local time today, sparking major concerns that the volcano was about to erupt. The eruption then began at 12:46 p.m.

"An eruption has started near Sundhnúk and seems to be located northeast of Sýlingafell. The jets reach a height of at least 50 meters [154 feet] and the length of the crater appears to be over 1 kilometer [0.62 miles]," the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) said in a statement at midday local time on Wednesday.

"The plume [of smoke] reached a height of about 3.5 km [2.17 miles] at the beginning of the eruption," it added.

This led to hundreds of people being evacuated from the nearby Blue Lagoon, as reported in Icelandic media outlet Morgunblaðið.

Livestreams from the Reykjanes Peninsula show huge fountains of lava spurting out from the ground at the Sundhnúkur crater, just north of the town of Grindavík.

"The lava has flowed about 1 km to the west and there is a large flow south of Stóra-Scógfell, which approaches Grindavíkurveg. When it was a little over two o'clock, the fountain was about 3.4 km," the IMO said in a statement released at 2:15 p.m. local time. "The outflow velocity of the lava is roughly estimated at 1,000 m3/s."

This is the fifth time that this volcano has erupted since December, having previously sent huge flows of molten rock seeping across large swaths of the Reykjanes Peninsula on December 18 last year, January 14, February 8, and then again on March 16. These eruptions occurred at varying locations across the region, with new fissures forming above the enormous magma dike sitting just underneath the surface.

"The movement of magma in Iceland is influenced by the region's unique tectonic setting, dynamics within magma chambers, crustal stresses and fractures, interactions with water and ice, the complexity of the volcanic feeding system, and the physical properties of the magma itself. These factors can cause magma to move from its original location to a new eruptive site," David Kitchen, an associate professor of geology at the University of Richmond, told Newsweek.

The IMO said that this new eruption appears to be in the same location as the most recent one in March.

"The first crack has reached the farthest to the south and is about 300-400 meters north of the crater that was formed in the eruption that started on March 16."

During these previous eruptions, the nearby fishing town of Grindavík—home to around 4,000 people—was evacuated, and several homes were burned to the ground after a river of lava crept into the town. According to a post to X by RÚV, Iceland's national broadcasting company, Grindavík has been evacuated once again in anticipation of today's eruption.

The nearby Blue Lagoon has also been evacuated, with about 800 visitors and staff being evacuated as soon as the seismic activity was detected.

"As always, we have taken measures to be able to respond to an evacuation at any time, and I expect that they will continue," Helga Árnadóttir, manager of sales, operations and services at the Blue Lagoon, told Morgunblaðið.

The Icelandic Coast Guard helicopter has recently been deployed to determine the exact location and size of the eruption, with the IMO posting videos from the flight to Facebook.

Chapter 1: Adventfjorden

The black sand beaches of Iceland were a spectacular sight, the quiet, solitary beauty of Landeyjahöfn and the crystalline otherworldliness of Jökulsárlón Lagoon, its banks strewn with glacial “diamonds.” Cold and captivating.

Stiles stayed on the southern coast of the country for a nearly week, but it wasn’t far enough for him, the shadows still deep and capable of hiding monsters. Now he was in Longyearbyen, on the island of Spitsbergen in the archipelago of Svalbard, over 500 miles north of the Norwegian mainland and equidistant to the North Pole.

The ocean called to him no matter where he’d gone on this journey, ever since he fled with a backpack and a shiny new passport. It didn’t matter that the water was frigid and foreboding even in the summer, that he currently had on multiple layers for today’s high of 46 degrees, which felt colder still from the wind.

He’d been here for a few days now, repeatedly visiting the same stretch of Adventfjorden. Advent Bay.

Sometimes it felt like he was being watched, could swear he caught movement in the rippling waves, but that was nothing new with the echoes in his mind. Call it figments of his imagination, products of hyper-vigilance and paranoia or straight up hallucinations. Little slips in reality between consciousness and dreaming. As long as it wasn’t��that. As long as it wasn’t him.

He bought strawberries from a fruit stand outside the market, small and ripe and red. The kind that were sweet like candy instead of the giant, watery fruit that stores back home so often sold, grown to survive being shuffled across continents rather than for flavor. These were for eating within days of harvest, would spoil if in the blink of an eye, but so worth it if you were lucky enough to have a taste at the right time.

Stiles took his little carton down near the water’s edge, watching the tide come gradually closer. Between plucking off the green bits and eating them whole he’d occasionally bite one in half and run it over his mouth like lipstick, staining the flesh there red like his fingers were. Like his hands would always be. 

When he came back to himself again there were people coming out of the water. 

People. Coming. Out of. The water.

Not divers in wetsuits that he’d missed seeing before somehow, but a dozen or so…humanoid creatures who were all bare chested except for some jewelry and miscellaneous accessories. 

He looked around to ask “Are you seeing this shit?” but then he realized that there was no one else on the beach. As if the half dozen or so other visitors had gotten some psychic memo to depart. Everyone, but him. How long had he been staring at his hands, transfixed?

The sun wasn’t noticeably lower in the sky than it was before, though of course it wouldn’t actually slip beneath the horizon. That was the whole point of this latest detour on his odyssey, months on end without night. Well, fewer than two left since it was now the end of June, a bit more than halfway through, but a welcome respite for however long it could last. Not that the nightmares couldn’t find him the daylight, but it at least made his wakefulness less terrifying and strange no matter the hour. 

Until this one.

Most of the sea people stayed at least half submerged, but one stepped onto the shore. What seemed like a man only with jet black legs and arms and a tail. 

Stiles sat there frozen as he approached, a shiny, crinkly looking fabric draped around his hips and between his thighs in greens and browns with stripes of red. He immediately thought of nori, which made sense since he was 99.3% sure it was made from seaweed. 

There was a grayish tone to the pale, too smooth skin where it wasn’t the color of a moonless midnight. On his face and throat and most of his chest and abdomen. The palms of his hands and the underside of the end of his tail, which was long and thick and had flukes like a cetacean. A bristly black mohawk reminiscent of the crest on a Roman optio's helmet was the only hair that Stiles could see, what appeared to be eyebrows actually flexible darkened ridges instead. The Sea Man, er, Sea Dude, stopped before him and silently held out a large, semi-webbed hand. Stiles stared into piercing pale eyes before turning to where the entourage watched them intently. 

He dropped his head to stare at his own skin once more, still ruddy from dried juice. Again his sense of time went wonky, his mind skittering and skip-skip-skipping like a smudged dvd. In his peripheral vision the creature began to fidget and he glanced up to see discomfort on the somewhat reassuringly discernible features. Huh. Stiles met that keen gaze and exhaled slowly, reaching out to him with his left hand while popping the last two strawberries into his mouth with his right. Why the fuck not? At least whatever this was would be interesting. 

The flesh was warmer than he expected and he marveled as the rubbery, alien extremity surrounded his and he was pulled to his feet like he weighed nothing at all. 

He was led toward the water, which duh, he should’ve expected, and stopped several feet away. The creature didn’t let go, but didn’t drag him either, just stared at him with an unreadable expression. Stiles looked back and forth between the bright, little settlement behind him and the murky, unforgiving expanse ahead. 

With shaking hands he started unzipping his jacket, warm fingers finally slipping away to allow him to take it off. He was glad that he left his phone and wallet tucked away back at his cheap, four person room at Gjestehuset 102. Quickly, he removed everything except his T-shirt and underwear, shivering immediately. It’s not like more layers would keep him warm where he was going and it’d only make moving around harder. 

You really think that’ll be a concern? 

He threw his bundled up clothing back up the beach as far as he could, but doubted that he’d ever wear them again.

The creature took his hand once more and he gasped when his feet touched the water. Fuck that was freezing. Intellectually, he knew that it would be, but nothing could compare to feeling it. On his ankles and calves, his knees and thighs. His whole body clenched when he waded further still and he was pretty sure that his balls had been permanently relocated inside his body. The others watched him curiously as he hyperventilated, teeth chattering.

The chill was already deep in his bones and he wondered how long it’d take for hypothermia to set in, trying to remember what he’d read before. What was it about water and the air temperature? Five degrees or so above the daily low? If that was the case it was probably around 40 degrees. And 40 degrees meant... 

He tried to visualize the chart in his head. 40 degrees meant 10-20 minutes before muscle weakening and loss of coordination. It had only been one or two so far, right?

When it came up to his stomach the fear kicked in, the natural dread land animals had for the depths from which they once came, but could no longer call home. The ocean held no mercy in its heart for its endemic children much less those long estranged.

Stiles tried to calm himself, closing his eyes and taking deep breaths. Cold shock, right. That part should go away soon. Breathe. In and out, in and out. Nice and slow, bring it down.

They suddenly drew to a stop and he opened his eyes. The Sea Dude was already gorgeous, but then he smiled and it was brilliant. Breathtaking. 

If Stiles was a normal person he would’ve swooned or something, but he’d known too many killers who loved to smile and he couldn’t help thinking Anglerfish-ass man despite the whole not being a hideous abyss dweller with a dangling lure thing. (Or was he?) It was kinda too late for second thoughts, though. 

The smile fell from that overcast sky-hued face, replaced by what appeared to be puzzlement and then concern. Long fingers connected at the second knuckle rose toward his temple and Stiles tried not to flinch. 

There was a sensation of tendrils slither-swimming through his head like octopi, multi-limbed and picking through his disparate thoughts. Twisting into nooks and crannies. Words that weren’t words echoed in his head as the creature frowned.

I’m not going to eat you. 

Strangely enough Stiles hadn’t truly thought that he would, though he probably should have given it real consideration after his run in with the wendigo. He was assuming more of an inexplicable murderous ritual if harm was intended rather than wanting him for the merman snack bar. Perhaps a drowning fetish.

The creature shook his head with exasperation, a reaction that Stiles was all too familiar with, but then he let out a musical, effervescent laugh and grasped his hand again, tugging him further into the deep. 

Come.
