I am just simply to my core never gonna be a clean girl, stay at home or whatever is popular as I am all about being drunk in a club. I am a club rat girl. I loveeee being on the street at 3am talking to random people. I literally met my best friend on the street after I yelled at her on a night out. my last boyfriend? met him in an alleyway cos he wanted a dart. once I stated talking to a guy in a turkish kebab shop at 3am and we found out we live on the same street and then we ended up in a 3 month situationship. quite literally the best times u will ever have happen when ur just going home and walking past the early risers walking their dogs at 6am. frfr

This looks so fake to me I cannot believe this

I’ve got to say I’m not a fan, this feels more like a season 4 roster compared to a season 2 one. It’s way too early for M bison (considering he’s releasing in mere MONTHS), and while guest characters are AMAZING, the opportunity cost is too great to justify having two in one season. I’m sure Mai’s great but I just don’t see why she should be here, especially since there’s apparently a half a year gap between her and Elena.

The only two characters I’m truly happy for are Terry and Elena. I’m a smash fan so Terry is great, and honestly any sf3 character would be fantastic, even if Elena isn’t really in it he top half of my most wanted sf3 characters (especially considering she’ll be the ONLY one).

IMO, this season should’ve been advertised as Twelve, Terry, Elena, Q, have the Laboratory hint towards twelve instead, but then have a surprise drop of Bison in between Elena and Q. That would be my dream. Q is the weak link here I admit, Urien or Makoto are probably more deserving, but I don’t see Urien in without Gill (so I’m guessing they’ll be season 3 or 4) and I don’t really know much about Makoto, I know she’s a fan favourite but idk, sorry.

Overall I’m very mixed. Terry and Streey fighter 3 rep is INCREDIBLE, but Bison, multiple guest characters, and a massive gap between characters leave a poor taste in my mouth. Maybe they’ll take my advice and shadow drop my main man Q in between Elena and Mai, who knows.

On August 15th 1771 saw the birth Sir Walter Scott the poet and novelist.

Born in a small third floor flat in College Wynd in Edinburgh’s Old Town, Walter was the ninth child of Anne Rutherford and Walter Scott, a solicitor and member of the private Scottish society known as the Writers of the Signet, so called for their entitlement to use the Scottish King’s seal – known as the signet – when drawing up legal documents.

Whilst the Scott’s home near the University was a popular area for lecturers and professionals like Scott’s father to live, in reality the small, overcrowded alleyway saw little natural light and clean air and suffered from a lack of proper sanitation. Unsurprisingly perhaps then, that six of Anne and Walter’s children died in infancy and the young Walter (or ‘Wattie’ as he was affectionately known) when he was just two years old, Scott became afflicted with polio. Though he survived the illness, his right leg would be unusable for the rest of his life.

Writing was not Scott’s first career choice. He studied law, which he practiced after completing his studies. He later served as sheriff-deputy of his county, for our US friends a sheriff in this instance doesn't have a star and six shooters but was a judge in the Scotlands courts, a term still used to this day.

Scott’s narrative poems about the stirring events in Scottish and medieval history were immensely popular in the nineteenth century, and in fiction he created the genre of the historical novel. It's no exaggeration to say during his lifetime he was the most famous author in the world.

Raised on the old Border tales and ballads that would later influence his historical novels, Scott was a clever and active child. Unfortunately, poor health interrupted his studies at Edinburgh University, and after being apprenticed to his father's legal firm for a year, Scott decided to study law. While visiting the Highlands on business in 1786 and 1787, he met not only Alexander Stewart of Invernahyle (who once fought a duel with Rob Roy MacGregor) but also the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns.

After his first love broke his heart by marrying another man, Scott married a Frenchwoman, Charlotte Charpentier, on Christmas Day, 1797, after a whirlwind romance. They remained happily married until her death in 1826.

Scott began writing poetry at an early age, and so distinguished himself in this that he was offered the Poet Laureateship in 1813, which he turned down. He published his first novel, "Waverley," in 1814, and it quickly became one of the most successful English language novels ever published. Scott chiefly concentrated on novels in his latter years, putting aside his poetry to publish "Ivanhoe" in 1819 and "Rob Roy" in 1817.

After suffering a stroke and apoplectic paralysis in 1831, Scott died on 21 September 1832.

Even those who have not read any of Walter Scott's works, almost everyone in Edinburgh, if not Scotland, knows of him due to the monument built in his memory, the biggest in the world dedicated to a writer, The Sir Walter Scott Monument dominates the the southside of Princess Streey.

Sitting proudly at the base of the monument is Sir Walter himself, carved in Carrara marble by Sir John Steell. This monumental statue, fashioned from a single piece of marble weighing 30 tons, took the sculptor six years to complete. It features Scott and his beloved hound Maida.

The Foundation stone was laid on the 15th August 1840 and was completed in Autumn 1844. It is 200 feet 6 inches (61.1metres) high, is made of Binny sand-stone from West Lothian, and cost just over £16,154 (approx. £712,000 today). There are 287 steps to the top where there are magnificent views of Edinburgh and beyond.

There are 64 statues on the monument, mostly characters from Scott's novels, with some figures from Scottish history.

I am sorry what could havebthe babies fucking do ?

This is litterally USA cops saying you were a threat to them when all you were doing was walking down the streey.

Israel wipes out entire families, this is not self defense. This is genocide of the highest degree.

Books in the Wild: Latest bumper releases...

I’ve been in Foyles this week – and Gower Streey again and only two weeks on and and a few new things have appeared… Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir is clinging on in the display but Al Pacino, Malcolm Gladwell and others have taken the rest of the slots. The biggest change though is that they’ve moved the crime hardbacks, BLCCs and mass market cozy crimes and now we have three cases of horror… On…

ON A CROWDED STREEY IN 1944

[crossover-enthusiast]

Hehehdhd

Idea: Y/N isn't able to help Sammy find whatever he's searching for since neither of them can find it, and notices that Sammy seems visibly dissapointed (not with her of course, he's just frustrated because it had to do with his work and now he's probably gonna have to deal with Joey again)—she kinda mistakes this for him being angry with her though since the poor girl still has a n x i e t y. So Y/N literally goes out of her way to buy him a new one of whatever it is at like a local store, and either gives it to him when they run into eachother on the streey—or anxiously gives it to him at work the next day.

Awww-

She just presents it like a nervous school girl giving her crush a letter /j
