""Patriotic" Thieves Take Victory Bonds," Montreal Star. May 7, 1943. Page 3. --- BURGLARS broke into the Atlas Dry Goods Company store at 2038 St. Lawrence boulevard last night, smashed open the safe, and stole $700 in cash and $1,200 worth of Victory Bonds.

The thieves entered an adjoining vacant house and first tried to pierce a hole through through the wall between the two buildings. Unsuccessful, they next broke through a skylight to the roof crossed to the Atlas Building and chopped an opening to the second floor. It was then an easy matter to reach the safe and smash it. The theft was only discovered at 9 a.m. today.

veilguard solavellan is also so boring like imagine building up this relationship for 10 years in your head after trespasser with the passionate glowy eye kiss, screaming after him that she’ll save him, solas being gentler to ease her pain as the mark is consuming her only to have the conclusion be solas mentioning lavellan once, lavellan’s entire character being about her love for someone who’s relationship with another woman is the plot of the whole sequel to the story they were a main character, and when it really came down to it, they weren’t even able to stop solas as it takes another woman to do it, a plain kiss and him not even asking her to come with him she has to insist and whatever trick weekes says after the game has already dropped is entirely irrelevant bc they did not make what he says clear in the game proper so it all seems like damage control

Oswald? Bugs? Never heard of 'em, sorry.

Here's my other character, Bailey! :D

She was introduced circa 1942 to help promote victory gardens in a way that would be easy to understand for children! She's a spitfire carrot farmer who loves to go on wacky adventures with the big three! However, Bendy does tend to get on her nerves...if there's one thing she hates more than Lotsabucks, it's laziness.

So, about the Toad Victory AU...

Are the two herons that Sasha takes to hunt Anne the same two herons who killed Sprig and Polly's parents?👀

Ik it'd be a crazy coincidence but YES! Most of the S3 equivalent would be about Anne and Sprig traveling the continent, and he'd recognize them instantly.

The Plantars have a complicated relationship with herons in canon, like obviously you can't exactly blame them - they're just animals following their insticts. It's not like they're maliciously seeking to hurt people. But they ARE incredibly dangerous and a huge trigger for the three of them, clearly. A big source of trauma. That's why the Plantars taming the herons in S3 is so beautiful... they're taking control of their history and their grief.

But in this case Sasha tames the herons, possibly thanks to her power. Makes me think of The Strength in tarot, which shows a woman taming a wild lion with kindness, showing that strength is not really about brute force, but mental fortitude.

So here, it's the enemy weaponizing the Plantar's trauma against them, in a conscious attempt to control them.

Or to control Anne at least, but in order to do that, Sasha must overpower the Plantars too.

When Anne and Sprig first saw Sasha's herons, they were flying on their bird through the clouds, half-lost in the mountains, trying to get a better view. Anne was trying to read the map and Sprig was holding the reins. Sprig froze when he recognized the herons, and Anne had to take the reins and get them somewhere safe, possibly between the crevices of a mountain where the herons couldn't reach. He had a panic attack - Anne had never seen him like that, and she didn't know how to help, resorting to just holding him until he felt better. He told her everything over a campfire that night, and even though Sasha couldn't have possibly known, it makes Anne all the more angry at her, for always finding the worst ways to hurt her and the people she loves.

She resolves to never let the herons hurt her family ever again. She will kill them if she has to.

"Push Up in the Front … For Victory," Montreal Star. October 21, 1943. Page 12. --- SPEED THE VICTORY! HATONS LA VICTOIRE! ---- Here is one of the most eye-striking sights in Montreal to mark Canada's Fifth Victory Loan campaign, one of the four specially painted street cars donated by the Montreal Tramways Company. Working as usual, each car will travel 200 miles every day of the drive and it is estimated will carry on an average, 128 passengers per hour.

A Moment to Stay

By Catalyst

If I held your hand, would you say I’m stronger now?

Would you say I could be someone else for just a while?

I look to you when the sun fades down, but there’s no fight left in me—only the weight of the dark.

The silence swallows every breath I take, and with each step, I feel the ground beneath me crack.

Oh, carry me through the storm, Oh, save me from the cold, I really want to stay. I don’t want to give up today.

But the weight’s too much for me to bear— like a boulder pressing down on my chest, and I feel lost, drowning in this quiet sea of doubt.

Can you see me, or am I just a shadow now, slipping through your grasp with every breath I take?

Take me somewhere soft and safe, where the light can find me, where my heart can finally shatter in peace.

Just let me feel again, let me feel whole— remind me that I’m more than just a broken soul.

I want to hold on, I want to fight, but sometimes it feels like I’m slipping through the cracks of time.

Can you pull me from the dark, or will I lose myself, drifting too far?

But even if the light feels distant, even if my feet are weary and the path is swallowed in darkness,

I will keep searching— for a spark, for a flicker of hope.

For somewhere, out there, there’s a moment where I can finally breathe again.

“I’m hanging up the mask.” He finally said.

It wasn’t quite like the first time he’d said it out loud, in the privacy of his apartment, curled in bed with Jazz. Only brave enough to whisper the words in the dark. There wasn’t that rush of anxiety and relief that had hit him at finally saying what had twisted over and over in his head for weeks. Now there was just that settled feeling, the certainty of it all, the surety of being on the path he wanted to be on.

He closed his hand into a loose fist, fingers rubbing over his palm, imagining he could still feel the warmth of Jazz’s skin beneath his hand. The tiny thump-thump-thump that always made his stomach flip and his heart squeeze when he felt it. It made it all the easier to say, “I wanted to ask if you’d look after my territory for me when I do.”
