Following their win at the Olympic Trials, the boys had several days off. In the book it is described how they spent every afternoon they at an island owned by the New York Athletic Club called Huckleberry Island. Described in the The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown, the island was “twelve acres of paradise,” with “small granite coves” and “stone ledges.” An environmental refuge, the boys found “they were in their element in a way they could never be in Manhattan for all its glitter and glamour.” The island was a taste of home and they adored it.
The boys would swim in the cool water and then laze about on the “warm flat slabs of granite.” They would horse around with one another or explore the island, but there wasn’t much else
And yet “Bobby Moch tried to organize activities, hustled the boys about, and got unceremoniously tackled and tossed in the water three or four times for his trouble.“
What activities? What could he have possibly wanted to organize? Trust me, I know all about making your own fun in the woods like I’m from BFE in the Midwest. But I feel like my answers are not what Bobby would have had in mind. If I could ask Bobby one question, it might just be ‘what activities?’
If you have any ideas, please let me know. I’m trying to come up with ideas to put in my current WIP for legitimate plot reasons.

totk cataclysm event wasnt just a great (but utterly missed) opportunity to change the map in techincally little ways that has drastic consequences both in stakes and in gameplay (like i mentioned before, flooding the gerudo desert would have meant devastating consequences for its ecosystem- like imagine little islands of sand still poking out, acting as a sort of last doomed refuge for sandseals- but also cahnged the entire gameplay of it, good chance to introduce some neat new ways to surf on water like a new ridable creature or an ice shield freezing a path while you surf on it, the gerudo being forced to save the city from drowing in various means or now living on the roofs, trying to adapt by building boats ect - also call back to older games?? since totk loves that so much ..-, vah naboris serving as the savest refuge being high above the water, even if non functional; similarly takign away ALL water from the zora region, gaving it all dry out would imemdiately turn into something way different and could mean death for the zora- forcing them to move to the lower parts of akkala for example- maybe vah ruta is still halfway functioning bc the faith the zora have to mipha, dorephan and sidon is, while not enough to keep it fully functional, but enough to generate some water so the most stubborn or brave zora set up around it like a last oasis; i know its somewhat done with death mountain but the gorons dont really suffer from it bc their only problem is a drugged rock that makes them mean and lazy ..- what about collapsing or exploding it, leaving a large crater that over the course of the game could start to grow with plant life since vulcanic earth is so fertile- some never seen before ones that was dormant in the lava and now that its cooled off is springing to life, which might seem good at first but for the area and its wildlife means loss of their habitat; the rito freezing over, but actually having to move, maybe into the tabantha canyon, building their new makeshift homes in between the walls of it- generally just switiching things around a bit would have done so much wihtout having to edit every last detail ((seriously tho, how did this game take so long given that botw took similar but they did that ENTIRE main map as detailed as it is AND made it all coherent with itself and its themes- im ranting again ..)
-but it ALSO would have been the perfect opportunity to introduce new weather types created by the sudden change in environment, somethign like a super strong wind that slows you when walking agaisnt and lets you jump much farther when with it- a darkness thing that clouds the world in utter darkness with only little light getting through anything that is caused by mushrooms from the udnerground invading the surface and their spores snuffs out all light (which could explain the weird darkness in the ruins from botw too!!), or just simply mist! making everything misty changes the entire feel of any environment drastically- you could make vertain enemies spawn only in certain weather conditions, lessening the repetive overuse of them; and that is only on the surface- what if the sky had sunbeams so strong it sets anything on fire if you dare to leave the shadows- to comabt it get a armor with a giant hat!! the underground could have been filled with different environments in the first place, but then of course thered be those dark spores of mushrooms, an entire forest you have to carefully travers other wise making them release their spores and make it all more difficult, glowy mushrooms, MORE glowy mushroms, theres so many weird ass shrooms IRL you could take inspo from!! maybe soemthing like a forest of kelp, long flowy plants obstructing view and making you anxious by any movement- there could be one thats a mimic or infected with miasma, slightly off color and its knobs are malice eyes that open only if it thinks you cant see it
(also for the idea of taking botws stuff and recontextualizing it, the guardians or shrines, now non fucntional, could be infected my miasma sometimes, maybe randomly to keep you guessing- an overgrown shrine suddenly lifting itself up with hands clawing at you when you get too close or do sth wrong to distrub it- similar with guardians tho the effect might be less since you know them as a threat already- or sth i mentioned in another post, a tower being used as a weapon by a gigatic miasma monster- the one in the gerudo region with the bottomless pit for example, perfect for an arena for you to run around in the spiral while its swinging at you etc etc)
JUST taking what botw had and mixing it up, expanding on it, even if technically little change, it could do so much but in the actual game death mountain and rito is the only ones that saw anything of a change like it, and it largely .. didnt change anything or was reversible easily, and had no actual consquences that meant anything, neither stakes nor environmental or narratively (the gerudo felt like it at first but its also largely reversible, its just kinda .. adding a bit of city)
i hhhhhhhhhhhhhh have so many thoughts still, i am just better at holding them back .... also dont wanna annoy lmao
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#ganondoodles rants#totk#loz totk#i still want to do the rewrite#but man wheres the time#i will never not be salty about totk#“YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE”#i wanna yell bc it could have been ... so good

Hold onto your keyboards, cause I'm about to get ✨️controversial ✨️
I'd like to preface this by saying all interpretations/ headcanons/ readings/ etc. Are valid and I'm in no way discouraging anyone to change their ways.
I watched (and enjoyed) Baloney's "The Truth About Kingdom Hearts!" And I absolutely adored their take on the series, but one line stuck out to me that I really want to expand on because I don't see it being talked about as often as it should.
Kairi doesn't like Riku.
And I think this is a very RICH and IMPORTANT aspect of the Destiny Trio dynamic. It adds to the complexity of these characters, but especially Kairi.
(Another shout out to @violethowler and their INCREDIBLE Constructing Kingdoms series. The video on"The Girl Who Never Grew Up" made me like and understand Kairi so much more. Highly recommend checking it out.)
Kairi doesn't like Riku, and with some pretty valid reasons, but I'll get to that after I compile all the evidence towards this:
In KH:
Kairi likes her life the way it is. She doesn't desire change, but Riku wants nothing but change. He wants to grow up and move on and see the outside world.
And because Sora looks up to him, Sora has jumped on the bandwagon too. Kairi is going along because Sora is. But it is clear that for Kairi, change =/= good. So what does she say?
"You know, Riku's changed."
Sora asks her how, and she kinda bites her tongue. Clearly she had opinions, but doesn't want to badmouth Soras best friend to him. Later she says, "Sora, don't ever change."
Later, after everything, when Kairi is restored and in Travers Town, she doubts that Riku can be saved, despite the fact that she LITERALLY saved Sora from being a heartless. She almost seems like she's trying to convince Sora not to go, or to at least let her come with-- not to save Riku but because she wants to be there with Sora.
At the end of the game, she obviously return to destiny islands and draws the paopu.
During Chain of Memories, everyone forgets about Sora, but the memories of Riku stay intact. For a year. Kairi is well aware that her "friend" is missing. In fact, last she knew of him, he was still taken by Ansem and presumably dead or at least suffering. She doesn't know.
She knows she's a Princess of Heart and has powers thay can help (as she restored Sora after being a heartless). But the most we get is "he's far away, but I know we'll see him again." Like, do you?
I mean, SELPHIE is the one that says "I sure miss him." That's way more than we EVER get from Kairi.
So for a YEAR, she doesn't spare Riku a single thought. But the SECOND she remembers Sora, she is willing to do anything to see him again.
Here's a little bit of speculation for WHY she doesn't like Riku:
1) Perhaps when she first met them as kids, he reminder her of Xehenort, who kidnapped her and yeeted her into space.
2) Kairi wanted to be best friends with SORA, but not Riku. She's afraid that Sora will follow Riku to the outside worlds (where she doesn't want to go) and leave her behind. If it wasn't for Riku, Sora wouldn't want to leave at all.
3) He (as far as we know) opened the door and damned their home into Darkness. That's probably a point of contention for her. Even though Sora so forgiving.
4) He hurt Sora in KH1, but Sora is still loyal to him. She probably sees that as him taking advantage of Sora-- the person she cares most about.
5) He's the reason Sora never came home. If it wasn't for him, they would have gone home at the end of KH1 together.
I can't say for sure how Riku feels about Kairi. He DID drag her corpse around and give into the darkness to save her, but that can be interpreted as solely wanting to "beat " Sora at being the hero. Even still, we get moment in COM where he reflects on missing her. We even see Namine come to his rescue in her form. I definitely feel like there is less animosity there, but who knows.
That's all.
Roast me, Kairi stans, but I love the depth this reading gives to the story and the potential for arcs and character growth for her and she is forced to face who she is without Sora.

On 15th July 1914 Gavin Maxwell, the Scottish novelist and naturalist, was born.
Maxwell was born and brought up in the tiny settlement of Elrig, north of Port William in Dumfries and Galloway, an area in which his family had owned estates for centuries.
He was educated at Stowe School and the University of Oxford, then became a freelance journalist, though ornithology remained his special interest. He served with the Scots Guard in World War II.
In 1945 he bought the island of Soay and described in Harpoon at a Venture, in 1952, his attempt to establish a shark fishery there.
His stand out book is came in 1962 with the best-selling Ring of Bright Water. It describes his life with two pet otters in his seaboard cottage in the west Highlands and was made into a film in 1969 starring Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna, parts of the film were shot in Ellenabeich on the Isle of Seil.
Maxwell followed Ring of High Water with a sequal, The Rocks Remain in 1963 and completed the trilogy with Raven Seek Thy Brother in 1969.
When Maxwell’s house was burnt down he moved to the lighthouse cottages he had purchased in 1963 on Eilean Bàn (‘White Island’), the island between Kyle of Lochalsh on the mainland and Kyleakin on the Isle of Skye.
Gavin Maxwell’s memory is preserved in the books he wrote, which have an enduring appeal. He is also remembered by the The Eilean Bàn Trust & Bright Water Visitor Centre. This operates a visitor centre in Kyleakin and conducts groups of visitors around Eilean Bàn, visiting the lighthouse, wildlife hides and part of the lighthouse cottage in which Maxwell’s “long room” has been recreated. It also rents out part of the lighthous cottage on the island as a holiday let.
The island of Eilean Bàn itself has changed significantly since Maxwell’s time. In the early 1990s it was linked to both the mainland and the Isle of Skye by the construction of the two parts of the Skye Bridge, which opened in October 1995. Despite this, the island remains a haven for wildlife.
The Statue of Maxwell’s otter in the last pic is at Monreith Dumfries and Galloway

Crac ! Boum ! Hue ! (etc...)
Surtout, ne me faites pas dire ce que je ne pense pas : ce titre n'est en rien une revendication de ma part. Non, je n'ai pas, comme Jacques Dutron avait la chance d'en avoir un dans sa jeunesse, ''un piège à filles, un truc tabou, Un joujou extra qui fait crac boum hue''... Et, hélas, ''Les filles ne tombent pas à mes genoux''. En revanche, dans mon immeuble parisien, un voisin a profité de ses vacances pour se lancer dans des travaux iso-hidalguesques. Je ne sais pas à quelles destructions sont destinés les bruits incroyables qui provoquent mon réveil depuis quelques matins, mais ses corps de métiers doivent se prendre pour des décathloniens... ou pour le ''truc'' de Dutron !
Si je vous raconte ça, c'est parce que grâce à une ''pub'' parue dans le quotidien gratuit ''20 minutes'' et transmise par Alain Rémond, de ''La Croix'', je suis tombé sur une proposition d'expérimenter une toute nouvelle technique dite ''de relaxation sonore'' : si je veux vraiment être enfin bien dans ma tête, dans mon corps, et partout ailleurs, il me faut absolument ''des vibrations sonores''. Question à 100 $ (US) : ''C'est grave, docteur ?''. La réponse est : on verra plus tard... car pour le moment, il semblerait que je manque dramatiquement de cette invention ''ultra-quelque chose '' et ''extra-pleine de trucs'', dont une sophrologue-spécialisée-en-relaxation-sonore vante les mérites indubitables (?) dans la dite pub. ''Ces massages sonores, affirme-t-elle sans faiblir, sont la base d'une science nouvelle, la (je cite) sonopuncture'' qui, si j'ai tout compris, serait exactement la même chose qu'une acupuncture dont l'aiguille serait remplacée par des sons (c'est un peu comme un coq au vin, qui serait fait avec des andouilles de vire et des tripes à la mode de Caen !).
''Les vibrations sonores –explique-t-elle-- se propagent à travers les os, et le cerveau est (donc ?) directement atteint sans effort'' (Questions : atteint où, par quoi, venant de qui ?). Le résultat est sans appel : c'est épatant ! On est relaxé dans tous les sens, comme jamais. Et c'est pour qui, toutes ces merveilles ? Mais pour tout le monde, voyons ! Pour vous et pour votre belle-mère... ce qui m'a remis en mémoire une émission récente de FR3, sur le thermalisme : devant l'effondrement du nombre de gens intéressés par ce sport, la station de Bagnères-de-Bigorre a remplacé la fréquentation de ses sources chantantes par... des siestes interminables sur un lit sous lequel des abeilles (par milliers, par trilliers, par ruches entières) font vibrer leurs ailes... ce qui vous guérit de toutes les mêmes choses que ''les eaux'' jusque là (ça me fait penser aux belles-mères à cause de la possibilité d'une erreur d'aiguillage qui donnerait à ces hyménoptères pleins de piquant(s) l'envie de se tromper d'étage... et là, ''Bonjour les dégâts'' !).
Vous allez me dire : quel lien avec ton voisin d'immeuble ? Mais voyons... dans le caractère relaxant et curatif du bruit ! Je veux parler du miracle de la ''sonothérapie'', dont je suis en mesure de mesurer à leur juste mesure les avantages (pour moi rigoureusement introuvables) et les inconvénients (dont je tiens la liste à votre disposition : elle n'entre pas dans les limites fixées par mon fournisseur d'espace !). Mais je peux vous dire que, depuis quelques jours, j'expérimente, à fond la caisse, les massages sonores, les voyages éponymes, la sono- et la -puncture et que, jusqu'à cet instant, cela ne marche pas avec ou sur moi. Mais alors... pas du tout !
En fait, si quelqu'un pouvait être intéressé par mon avis (ce qui est rarement le cas...), je dirais même que ça a un effet rigoureusement inverse : les perceuses et les marteaux-piqueurs semblent créer sur mon système nerveux des dégâts collatéraux qui me foutent un coup de vieux dont je n'avais absolument pas besoin. Je peux même vous dire que le seul fait d'entendre des murs d'habitude protecteurs se mettre à trembler comme un volcan en Islande, et menacer de s'écouler après s'être fissurés comme un hôpital à Gaza, m'angoisse et génère en moi des torrents de gros mots et d'insultes que je n'avais pas éructées depuis les années (à peu près trois, comme toute ma classe d'âge !) où je fréquentais assidûment l'institution militaire en tant que ''Maintenu''.
En fait, j'en ai même tiré une sorte de règle générale : ''Plus ça vibre, et plus je stresse !'', et plus je suis enveloppé, jeté, trimballé, secoué, violenté et j'en passe, dans une solitude généralement réservée aux coureurs de fond, pour paraphraser Alan Sillitoe (''The loneliness of the long distance runner'' –1959). Et, un peu comme les paysans français ou les habitants du Pas de Calais, j'ai une forte impression d'abandon, de ''trop, c'est trop'', et de ''personne ne m'aime''...
C'est d'ailleurs à cette impression d'abandon que vous devez cet édito encore plus ''déjanté'' que les autres : il fallait que je partage ma ''différence ressentie'' entre les textes qui circulent, en cette période où la folie sort de plus en plus souvent des asiles … et le ressenti, justement, d'un pauvre citoyen lambda confronté aux terribles réalités du siècle ! Pour un peu, je deviendrais sartrien (c'est vous dire combien je suis touché, en profondeur !), au point de penser que l'enfer, c'est le bruit des autres ! Bonne sieste et à demain, pour un sujet plus sérieux...
H-Cl.

Arkhelios Adventures
"Thanks for agreeing to hold the party here," Roman said, looking proudly at the decorations he'd bought and the impressive cake he'd made for his son's important day. It wasn't every day that your kid turned fourteen and Roman wanted to make the party special.
Ewan Traver merely shrugged back at him, like it was nothing to use his estate to entertain a group of hyper teenagers. Truthfully, nothing seemed to bother the duke, and it made Roman incredibly uneasy to see such a laid back parenting style. Maybe if he lived on a tropical island and hadn't been a teenage father, Roman might be the same. But then again, Adrian had grown up in Twikkii Island, and he was just as bad as Roman when it came to his clingy parenting style.
"It's all good," Ewan assured his guest. "The kids love having their friends over and we have more than enough space to accommodate them. Tell you what. If you make one of those bat cakes for Bronwen's birthday, I'd be in your debt. Not many bakeries have vampire friendly designs, and it would mean a lot to her."
"Done," Roman agreed, eager to continue his party setup and ditch the hovering duke. "Is everyone here? I haven't done a head count."
"All of them are present and accounted for," Ewan confirmed. "I think they've found the pool table. If I know my kids, they're probably hustling the group. Never bet against a vampire or witch in a contest of skill."
"Uh...huh." Roman had no idea of what to say to this man. He was the father of Theo's closest friends though, so Roman tried his best. Ewan wasn't snobby or pretentious, nor was he trapped in the same constant anxiety that Adrian felt being a duke. If anything, the man reminded Roman of an eager puppy, excited and ready for anything fun. If Roman had to blindly guess who was married to stuffy, curt Edana, he would never have guessed Ewan in a million years.
"Where is Edana? Does she want to help set up?"
For the briefest of seconds, Ewan's face fell before he could correct it. It wasn't anger or frustration that Roman had briefly saw, but some kind of sadness. He didn't resent his wife like Roman would have assumed with such an emotionally mismatched couple. Instead, it almost looked like the look he sometimes caught Abe giving him whenever the subject of Roman's family came up. Ewan was just as worried about Edana as Abe worried about him. It was touching to see, and it gave Roman hope that the children of this man also inherited that same compassion. Any friends of Theo needed some extra compassion should anything terrible happen to their friend, and if Elowen and Bronwen were anything like their father, Theo would be in good hands.
"Edana's working," Ewan explained. "She's got this huge research project she's working on and it's very important. She promised to come up for cake though."
With the noise of a birthday party around her, Edana was finding it difficult to concentrate on her work. Several excited teenagers crowding around a pool table did not make it easy to stare endlessly at photo after photo of boring historical records.
Truthfully, she would much rather be upstairs, ensuring that the teens behaved like the young magical apprentices most of them were instead of staring at ancient records. She was certain that Adam was probably letting that demon hybrid of his push past acceptable boundaries, and that Remy and Elowen were likely trying to do some juvenile prank like spiking the punch or whatever it was that teens did these days. Ewan could handle the party itself, but his wife needed to be the stern authority figure ensuring that nothing went awry.
But her brother had given her a mission that superseded everything else. No one escaped death to pass something unimportant to their angry sister. For the measures he had taken to see her, Edana knew that this required her full attention. Something big had to be at stake and she wasn't about to stand over the dead bodies of her friends again, not when she could have prevented it. What if something happened to one of her children? She would never recover from that loss. If it took hours hunched over a computer to save her family, then it was worth all of it.
He said that the Darktides were in danger, but we're not originally from Strangetown, our ancestors are from Pleasantview. Why care so much about a supernatural being from another country?
Why did the answer to a mystery in Twikkii Island all revolve around Strangetown or Josh Toyonaga's husband? They lived in Strangetown, but neither of them came to Twikkii Island regularly. They came from time to time to visit Ewan and Edana, but not often. Besides, Josh's own mother died in that explosion. He wasn't close to the former queen consort, but Edana could never accuse him of murder. She'd seen for herself how devastated he'd been at her funeral.
Couldn't Adam have been at least a little more specific about this threat? If he hadn't spent so much time being a jackass, he could have explained this threat easily and she wouldn't be forever wandering libraries to search for whatever it was she was supposed to be looking for.
"There!" she gasped, scrolling back to a picture she'd nearly missed. "Finally!"
Atem Spector and his mother, Morganna Grunt, in the palace of Alpheus Toyonaga, Strangetown, Circa 678, photo from a private collection.
"What the hell am I supposed to do with this?" Edana groaned, desperately scanning the photo for clues that might point her in the right direction.
The picture was blurry and barely showed what Atem looked like. His eyes were closed and his hair could have easily been dirty blonde or brown. The woman beside him didn't look much like her son. Green skin with green eyes. He must have taken after his father.
The year 678 would place this picture right in the middle of the Demon Wars. If she ignored Master Thorne's warning, she could probably summon a demon that old. It was only 2210, surely something that old would still respond to a summons?
No, Master Thorne was right. Adam would have rushed headfirst into summoning something that old. Edana was the smart one. The careful one. The one currently fearing for her family's safety.
She'd never seen a blood demon before. No one alive likely hadn't either. She used to sit on the memorial to Alpheus outside of the public library when she did her schoolwork as a girl. The shrine to the powerful blood demon always inspired her to strive for power like his. Perhaps that was why her coven had stumbled in the end. Power like that came with a price too high for mortals to pay. Her son's boyfriend worried her with his own power, but she was comforted by the fact that Alpheus had been a full demon, while Theo was merely a hybrid. He was dangerous, sure, but nothing like the demons of the past.
Master Thorne was displaced from another time, centuries ago where maybe he'd seen a blood demon for himself. He probably knew what he was talking about; witches and warlocks had differing practices back then, and not all of them were moral. Still, the urge to throw caution aside to play with something that far overpowered her was intense. What would it be like to see a demon so powerful? Would it be like staring at Anna Goldman's true reaper form, beautiful and terrible all at once?
"Dammit!" she swore, throwing one of her reference books across the room. "What am I supposed to do with this, Adam? None of this makes any sense! Just tell me how to save my family!"
"Edana?" Ewan's worried voice floated down the stairs, grounding her in her surrounding once more. In her anger, she'd worried her poor husband and been just as rash and improper as she forbid her children to be. This mystery was getting to her, but she couldn't worry her family or travel down forbidden paths like her brother.
"Everything's fine, honey," she called, picking up the book she'd thrown. "I just knocked a book over. I think I'm making progress though."
"Okay, well we're going to cut the cake now, if you wanted to join us. Theo's dad made it."
"Yeah, yeah okay. I'll be right up."
By the time Edana made it up the stairs, the cake was already cut and the teens were having a birthday toast with what she hoped was ginger ale. Ewan knew better than to let champagne anywhere near the kids who were all studying magic at a level he was incapable of matching. Their alcohol was stored safely in a locked cabinet, but Edana knew better than to trust a simple lock to keep the teens out. Elowen was getting better each day at subverting her mother's traps. Between her and Remy, Edana was going to have to be on top of her game to parent her children.
"To the birthday boy, Theo." Ewan toasted. The teens followed his example and clinked their glasses together to toast the young demon.
"To Theo!"
"Alright, cake and ginger ale is on the table if anyone wants refills," Roman said. "You guys have fun, and if you need anything, the grown ups are going to be here, doing boring grown up stuff."
"Ugh, Dad, I'm not four," Theo groaned, shooting his father a nasty glare. "We don't need 'grown ups' for anything. We're fine."
"Well the grown ups have actual champagne to drink, so we'll be fine too," Ewan laughed before Roman could snap at his son. "Go have fun. We certainly will be."
"Gross," Adam said, looking at his step-father like he had three heads. "Are our parents friends now? I don't like it."
"My dad doesn't have any friends," Theo replied snarkily. "At least we know they'll get along at our wedding."
"Ha ha, you two are funny," Roman grumbled, reaching for the bottle of champagne Ewan had produced. "Go have fun while the adults have their own party."
"Your mom is getting worse," Eliana said, while lining up her shot. The three sisters were pool enthusiasts and far too skilled to hustle anyone. No one believed that they could beat any of the sisters, so most of the gambling was on which of the sisters would win.
"You're not wrong," Remy replied. "She spends all her time at home on the computer and all her time at school in her office. I think my dad is worried about her, but he doesn't want to say anything."
"What do you think she's working on?" Eliana asked. "Not all of us are witches who know what mysterious secret she's looking for."
"You don't have to be a witch to figure it out," Elowen answered. "She's upset about Uncle Adam. She's always upset about Uncle Adam. It must be his like birthday or death date or something lame like that. I see her staring at pictures of him at school all the time."
"Nah, I think she's worried about Adam Jr and his demon companion," Remy laughed. "She's looking stuff up about demons, really old demons. All the blood demons died ages ago or whatever and she's worried that Adam's going to get himself killed too. Maybe one day, Theo's going to snap and kill us all and she wants to be ready."
"Remy, be serious," Eliana said. "The last person Theo's going to snap and kill is Adam. I don't think that those two can stand to be away from each other for even an hour."
"Yeah, you're right," Remy conceded. "They're probably making out downstairs and skipping the rest of the party."
"You and Theo should really come to the school dance next semester. Josh is taking me and my uncles said that I could wear one of my mom's dresses to it. It's going to be a lot of fun, and outside students can come by invitation."
"I don't know, Medora, Theo would probably want to go, but I'm not really into dances. The ones at our own school are more than enough for me."
Adam fidgeted, trying to politely refuse the invitation to a pretentious dance that he would likely be completely miserable at. Medora was really excited and Theo would love to let loose and dance wherever he could, so it felt like he had to say yes, despite his reservations.
"What's this about a dance?"
Theo waved at his friend and boyfriend, watching Adam's face flush like he was hiding something.
"It's only the largest dance in the school that isn't prom," Medora exclaimed. "I think we're supposed to practice our social and political skills or whatever, but it's a dance! I have my outfit all picked out. My uncles are letting me use my mom's clothes and jewelry and Josh has a matching outfit that will look amazing."
"Aren't you wearing your mom's dress now?" Adam asked, gesturing to the photo behind them. "That's your mom isn't it? My step-dad's sister?"
Medora was the spitting image of her mother, especially when she wore Tristianne's clothes. The resemblance was remarkable, something Theo was sure the princess heard all the time.
"This?" Medora repeated, looking offended. "Adam, I know that you have no knowledge of fashion, especially when it comes to what a princess gets to wear, but this is not one of my mom's dresses. Her dresses cost about the same as a year of tuition."
"Oh. I guess that makes sense." Adam didn't look like he really understood or cared about Medora's wardrobe, but he didn't want to be rude to an orphan trying to connect to her mother in whatever way she could. If he lost his father or step-father, maybe he'd want to use one of their suits to remember them too. His father's warlock robes probably cost a small fortune and since his recently discovered half-brother wasn't a warlock, Ewan's robes would likely go to his only magical son.
"I was just about to get my swimsuit, but I was going to head back to get another piece of cake," Theo announced, while his boyfriend mentally compiled his likely inheritance. "Wanna come with me?"
"Oh, yeah, sure. That cake was awesome," Adam replied. "Do you want some too Medora?"
"No thanks, I'm going to get changed too. The pool is calling my name. Can you believe that I live in a castle, and we don't even have a pool on the property? My grandfather says we don't have the infrastructure to support one, but he's the king. He can hire someone to install whatever it needs."
"A pool's not everything," Adam pointed out. "It's a lot of work and uses a lot of water for a desert nation like Strangetown. My step-dad makes us take turns cleaning it when we're living here."
"Well, either way, I'm headed for the pool," Medora announced. "See you out there. And think about the dance. Seriously. It'll be fun."
By the time that Medora emerged from the house in her swimsuit, a vicious water balloon fight was already underway. A balloon narrowly missed her head, but didn't break upon hitting the ground.
"Oh my god, you never said there was going to be water balloons!" she shrieked, picking up the fallen balloon and whipping at Elowen. "How many do we have left?"
While the other guests were distracted, Adam and Theo were changing into their bathing suits a little more slowly than the other teens. They changed together all the time at school when they had gym class or when they changed into their pajamas at night, but it was never usually while they were alone. Having a few moments of privacy together now was somehow very different than at school. The air crackled with tension and before he knew it, Theo's lips were on Adam's, pulling him as close to him as he could.
"We need to go," Theo whispered between kisses, only to have Adam move his hand and completely silence all thoughts of leaving.
"Your dad is busy and no one will notice we're gone," Adam whispered back, punctuating his words with kisses down Theo's arm.
"My dad will definitely notice a hickey," Theo protested, pushing his boyfriend away halfheartedly. "You know how pissed he'll be if he catches us in here."
"Yeah, my mom will probably murder us both," Adam conceded. "It would be pretty horrible to die on your birthday."
"Worth it though. Plus then I wouldn't have to go to dinner at home with my grandma. All she does is drink and scowl at me while going on about how much money my school costs. Rien says my grandma's just going to give me some money in my college fund for a gift anyway."
"Well, it beats hanging out here with my sisters," Adam replied. "All they do is talk about their partners and tease me. Plus, Mom's still acting like some kind of zombie. I don't think she's even made a single comment once today about you or your dad."
"Maybe she likes me now," Theo teased. "Maybe she's finally seen how perfect we are for each other and wants to apologize for everything she's said."
Both boys laughed at the thought of Edana Darktide ever apologizing for anything, especially when Theo was involved.
"Maybe one day. But definitely not today."
"You're almost out of balloons, you'd better surrender while you still can.'
Elowen stared menacingly at her half-sister, water balloon in her hand, ready to be thrown. Their water battle was down to just Elowen and Remy and Elowen had the clear advantage. Remy had just a few balloons left, but she wasn't about to lose and have her half-sister gloat about it all week.
"Maybe you should surrender before I tell Dad about your boyfriend."
Remy's taunt worked, and Elowen's angrily tossed balloon easily missed its target. It landed on the ground beside Remy, allowing the witch to scoop it up and hurl it back towards her half-sister.
"So the rumours are true," Remy laughed. "Who is he? Does he go to our school?"
"Mind your own business," Elowen snapped, launching another balloon at Remy that also missed its target. "If you don't, maybe I'll tell Malika that you've been flirting with the girl in potions class. Plus the guy you looked really into at lunch last week."
"It's not cheating to admire an attractive person," Remy insisted. "Malika knows that and I'm sure she looks at all kinds of people herself. Your boyfriend probably does the same thing.'
"He does not!"
"So I guess I'll see you again at our kids' wedding?" Ewan joked, looking over his shoulder to see if Adam or Theo were nearby to hear.
The dads had finished their alcohol fueled conversation upstairs and had finally changed into the bathing suits to supervise anyone swimming in the pool. Roman wasn't thrilled to see his son absent in the yard, but some of the other kids were missing too, which meant that there could be an innocent explanation, like Theo playing a game of pool. Roman had promised his husband not to be paranoid or suspicious about Theo's whereabouts during the party, but it was difficult. Theo was probably getting into trouble somewhere, but both Adrian and Abe had pleaded with him to keep Adam's parents happy. The last thing they needed was another inquiry by the Maricourts.
"You know they're going to break up long before they're nineteen, right?" Roman replied. "They're just kids."
"Oh, I thought Edana said that you married your high school boyfriend?" Ewan said in a tone that Roman couldn't discern the true intention of. He didn't sound like he was asking the question sincerely. More than likely, he and Edana had come up with topics to discuss with Theo's parents to continue their interrogation of the Bellamy family.
"Well, eventually," Roman conceded. "I did marry someone else first, and we broke up a few times since high school."
"Well, there you go," Ewan replied. "There's hope for them yet. Edana married someone else first too and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out."
"There's no way that Theo is getting married as a teenager. All he's doing is trying to get our approval and permission to have sex."
Ewan choked back a powerful laugh at this, clapping Roman's shoulder as he laughed.
"I had no idea that you needed parental permission to have sex," he laughed. "Oh man, if I did, my father would have me die a virgin. My sister too. The look on his face when she told him that she had no idea of who Medora's biological parent was because she and her husband had attended an orgy together! I wish I had had a camera. Trust me, Roman, Adam is his mother's son. He's not going to ask permission for anything. Kids are going to be kids, just like we were."
"That's what I'm afraid of," Roman sighed. "Theo's too much like we were."
"Ah well, my brother and sister and I all put my parents through hell," Ewan laughed. "Leo was almost murdered for defying the queen of Pleasantview, and Tristianne, well, it's not right to speak ill of the dead, even if her antics were hilarious. I have three kids with three different women who are pretty much all the same age. Being a parent means watching your kids make mistakes while helping them learn from them. My dad never gave up on me, even when I deserved it."
"I never really had parents growing up," Roman said. "My mother tried to kill both me and my kids and my dad was physically present but never there with me. Theo has a magical disability that's potentially fatal if he gets too powerful without something to ground him. He's almost died more than once and I can't lose him, Ewan. I also can't watch him struggle like I did with a teenage pregnancy either. If I let go of him for even a second, I'll-"
"You'll push him away," Ewan replied. "I almost pushed my dad out of my life when I was young and thought I knew it all. Everything he did, I assumed was just to punish me for having a good time. It took a tragedy for us to come together again and forgive, don't let the same happen to you and your son."
Roman stared closely at the man he'd underestimated. Ewan may not be as sharp as his wife, but he really did care about his kids and their happiness. He was just as fiercely protective of his kids as Roman was, though he didn't look like he spent long nights worrying himself to death like Roman did. He was still too close to Edana to trust, but Roman could still appreciate Ewan's advice.
"Any tips on letting go?" Roman sighed. "I don't know how I'll sit through a wedding between two nineteen year olds without saying something."
"Well, like you said, who marries their high school sweetheart?" Ewan laughed. "I'm sure they'll have a bunch of relationships in high school and forget all about each other. The only other time I'll ever see you again is when you drop off Bronwen's birthday cake next year."
"That sounds like a deal," Roman said, allowing himself a small smirk while still worrying about his son. "Adam's not a bad kid though, I don't want you to think that Abe and I hate him or anything like that. Just try to put in a good word about Theo with your wife if there's a wedding. I have a feeling that she'll call another 'meeting' about my son if there's a ring involved."
Ewan sighed heavily.
"Yeah, I guess it's no secret that she thinks that your son is going to burn all of Pleasantview down. We're all trying to reason with her. The last thing the school needs is a reputation for harassing demon students. He's only a hybrid demon though and he only seems to endanger himself with his powers, which is what has pacified her for now. Adam tying his bloodline to Theo's though- you should have seen her reaction. I thought the house was about to implode."
"Yeah, we had that reaction too," Roman groaned. "No offense, of course. You seem like a nice family, but-"
"But your thirteen year old playing with blood magic? Yeah, I get it. Still, yelling at them didn't change anything. If you push too hard, teenagers are going to push back. Give them a little room to breathe and your son just might come to you with his problems first."
"Yeah, that will be the day," Roman murmured, scanning the yard again and still finding no signs of his son. "Theo? Theo, it's a pool party because there's a pool. Hurry up and swim with your friends!"
"Coming, Dad!"
Theo and Adam emerged from the house, dressed in their bathing suits and looking guilty.
So he was inside with Adam, probably this entire time. Doing god knows what.
Roman was about to shout at his son, when his eyes met Ewan's and he reconsidered.
Don't push him away. You can trust him. Yelling will only push him away.
"Get in the pool now that we can supervise," Roman said, though his teeth were still tightly clenched. Beside him, Ewan gave him a quick thumbs up. "This is a pool party after all."

Elementals of Tsikiri Character reveal!! The water nymph!! hiding within a secret mystical cavern at the bottom of the karakama ocean, her moss covered shrine tucked within this deep sea cave thats angled in such a way that creatures could climb out onto a small island of land, and breathe oxygen safely while visiting this shrine. but any land dweller trying to seek this magical shrine will fail doing so without gills and fins to travers the ocean waters of Tsikiri. Dispite the Water nymph having a tail fin, she can float and breathe out of water just fine! I can't wait for May! gives me an excuse to draw her for mermay!

Winter Market Plot/Starter call!
Hello! Cutting a bit close, but this week has been...something. Anywhozits, located below is a list of my idiots and if/what they’ll be doing in relation to the Winter Market ‘22. Hit the like for me to go ahead and shoot you a DM for plotting, and feel free to also comment if you want to specify a pair to tailor the plot convo around! As a sidenote, if we already have an ongoing thread that you would like to transition into a Winter Market one or a winter one in general, by all means feel free to let me know!
Cosinga ‘Oz’ Palpatine:
Star Wars||42||He/Him||Unaware||Married
This mans will to the surprise of any of his aware children and/or aware acquaintances will likely be found out and about because he’s doing his best to be as close to proper human being as possible because he may not remember the specifics but he totally remembers being a massive asshole and most importantly a good husband and father 🙃
Travers:
Harry Potter||35||He/Him||Aware||Uninterested
This. Dude! Hates absolutely everything about this, but will be making the rounds nonetheless because he understands the complex game people play when it comes to presentation versus true-self. The Travers name is well-known in town and likely one of the big sponsors of city-managed events/booths....and he also wants the opportunity to play his own personal favorite passtime: fuck with the McKinnons
Monica Reyes:
The X-Files||34||She/Her||Aware||Could Use Some Friends
Monica is definitely a people person, despite the fact that she hasn’t much time to actually do any people-ing since arriving in this wonky version of the Capital. There’s so many odd things constantly happening here that this FBI’s X-Files division is...something else. Bless for now colonizing aliens she does not count the fact Leia is the President that is just too much right now. Will likely be found going around from booth to booth, enjoying the live music, and just taking in the activity in general
Sarah Gunning:
Midnight Mass||32||She/Her||Aware||Married...to her job
Sarah has definitely not really taken the time to process anything that happened back on Crockett Island, and has actively taken to keeping herself as busy as possible to keep herself from thinking about it too much or it gets bad. She is, at her core, the very odd mix of the typical mom friend, cool wine aunt, and awkward former ‘gifted child’ all rolled into one. This one is also very approachable, and will likely be keeping an eye on any events that can lead to the use of her skillset
Rachel Summers:
Marvel’s X-Men||28||She/They||Aware||Reluctantly Even Socializing
Currently not really feeling the whole ‘holiday thang’ like they once used to, definitely doesn’t help she’s in yet another new universe. Is trying their best to ‘make the best of it’ and ‘fake it til you make it’ their way through this. To that end, they will be ambling about from booth to booth and playing spectator to some of the events. They are approachable, if perhaps a bit snarky and bah humbug at the moment. They do know how to chill and have fun...they just have to be reminded
Jamie Taylor:
The Haunting of Bly Manor||27||She/They||Aware||High Walls
Time has helped mellow her out...a bit. She’s not outright rude, but she’s never really claimed to be a nice person either. Will be milling about as part of the Park Ranger volunteers to help keep the event safe and as chaos free as this city will ever allow. Friends are always welcome, even if it may take one of the many nutcrackers about to get through to this one
Vi:
Arcane||25||She/They||Unaware||Open to a Good Time
Vi is still mostly unaware, but is starting to question a lot of things after her interactions with Jinx and Caitlyn. This Winter Market sounds like the ideal thing to take her mind off of that entire debacle unless she happens to run into either, of course. Will be looking for any friends she may have made in the city to chill with or even up for making some new ones while also partaking in any and all competitions because why not?
Caden:
Charmed ‘98(OC)||24||She/Her||Aware||Distractions Are Nice
Caden still doesn’t have the full picture as to what is going on with her or why, but she’s managed to realize that as long as her mind is occupied, she can manage to only travel from place-to-place by will and her own two feet. So she’ll be taking in everything she can from the Winter Market and hopefully not randomly ‘orbing’ somewhere she’s been told it’s bad to do that
Ava:
Warrior Nun||19||She/Her||Aware||Overwhelmed...Not Sure If In Good or Bad Way...?
Ava is still very much trying to deal with everything that happened just before her arrival in the city, but this is also her first real taste of Christmas but she’s also very conflicted over the origins... Ava will likely be trying to hit everything she can because experiencing the world is the one thing she feels can still root her to who she is. Very approachable. Human golden retriever with a bit of an attitude sometimes and not a lot of tact...sorry
Ben:
Star Wars||18||He/Him||Unaware||Fun Times!
Ben has been working really hard in school, soccer, and his job. Boy is very much looking forward to some down time and also very much oblivious to everything relating to the chaotic dumpster fire that can be his family. If he manages to, he might even see if he can get a little pick-up hockey game going if enough people are interested. He’s likely the most approachable of this bunch, but also the one to have the least filter and most snark thanks mom and aunt leia
#hw: plot call#hw: starter call#mini-event:winter market '22#swearing tw#alcohol tw#[this is late and likely got less coherent as it went but it took the last of my energy lol]

Insider tea: The older woman Shawn is “with” is definitely pr. Every single time music or photo shoots are rumored, coming out, and whatnot something with this man happens. His team knows he only headlines when he has a “love interest” (as shown with Camila); that’s why he does these stunts. Blinds have claim Island and his label wanted him to be “with” Sabrina for MONTHS but he refused as they don’t get along. He hasn’t been spotted or reports with any girl and then a new girl comes? No, it was because it was late notice. His team “leaked” the photo of him and the unidentified. The beach pics were staged as his neighbors were complaining about the pap coming into the neighborhood and making too much fuss. It’s funny how his fans don’t believe he does stunt or calls the paps. Literally, all celebs do. He has been also late to studio sessions and high out of his mind so his team are pissed. The only of the him and his creepy doctor made a lot of noise within Reddit’s so why not bring it back with another older woman? This woman (Charlie Travers) has been trying to be a singer for EIGHT years. Go figure. Anyone on short notice is good for his team because they are lazy. Fans should know he’s into the instagram model type, that has never changed at all.
Sources have leaked movie projects and music is underway. This is all planned but on short notice that is why there was never tips or spottings with this woman until nov. 9.
Can he stunt with Tate

Sudden revelation paid Bobby Moch a visit as well. His came as he sat, in the shade under a tree in a wide-open field on Travers Island, opening an enve-lope. The envelope contained a letter from his father, the letter Bobby had re quested, listing the addresses of the relatives he hoped to visit in Europe. But the envelope also contained a second, sealed, envelope labeled, "Read this in a private place." Now, alarmed, sitting under the tree. Moch opened the second envelope and read its contents. By the time he had finished reading, tears were running down his face.
The news was innocuous enough by twenty-first-century standards, but in the context of social attitudes in America in the 193os it came as a profound shock. When he met his relatives in Europe, Gaston Moch told his son, he was going to learn for the first time that he and his family were Jewish.
Bobby sat under the tree, brooding for a long while, not because he suddenly found himself a member of what was then still a much discriminated against minority, but because as he absorbed the news he realized for the first time the terrible pain his father must have carried silently within him for so many years. For decades, his father had felt that in order to make it in America it was necessary to conceal an essential element of his identity from his friends, his neighbors, and even his own children. Bobby had been brought up to believe that everyone should be treated according to his actions and his character, not according to stereotypes. It was his father himself who had taught him that. Now it came as a searing revelation that his father had not felt safe enough to live by that same simple proposition, that he had kept his heritage hidden painfully away, a secret to be ashamed of, even in America, even from his own beloved son.
— The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown
#and then can you imagine having to gk to Berlin for the Olympics immediately after finding out????#where there was already tons antisemitic legislation in place??#AND PEOPLE MURDERED FOR BEING JEWISH??!!#the boys in the boat#quotes#book quotes#bobby moch#Bobby Moch needs a hug#real tbitb

After Peter Seddon: Memories construct a different picture
In the 1980 the artist Peter Seddon created a series of large scale pastel drawings based on the Highland Clearances that explored themes such as history, memory and cultural difference.
These were included as part of the 1986 exhibition ‘As an Fhearann/ From the Land’ organised by An Lantair Gallery in Stornaway to mark the centenary of the Crofting Act. I visited the exhibition when it first came to Glasgow and it had a huge impact on not only my practice but also how I was to view the Highlands and Islands of Scotland that I would be living in for the next fifteen or so years of my life.
The following images and notes are the start of an attempt to explore the themes that I first came across in Peters work and to place them in a personal context.
Essie Stewart is playing the accordion again for Richard Burton'
The drawing takes it’s subject matter from Tim Neats’ book ‘The Summer Walkers’ about the pearl fishers and travelling families of Scotland.
‘Bill Travers is looking across the Firth of Lorne again’
There’s a point in the film ‘Ring of Bright Water’ when the main character first travels north and gets off the old Calmac bus to look across the Firth of Lorne towards Mull in the distance.
Of course the movie takes vast liberties with both the book and the story of Gavin Maxwell himself but somehow for me, with that scene it all gets forgotten.
Ben Buie, Sgur Dearg, Dùn da Ghàoithe are in front of him like incomplete notes, each a hesitant beginning to something that isn’t there anymore.
Each a grace note
and I am sitting there in Fishnish all those years later.
