congratulations on your acceptance, tommy & ian ! please make sure you check the next steps here

paul wesley, bisexual, male + he/him→ isn’t that noah chmiel? i’ve seen them hanging out with the dragonkin. i hear they’re 129, but they’ve only been in alexandria for 7 years. they seem to be headstrong & friendly, but also lustful & hot headed. it’s cool that they’re capable of hydrokinesis!

zane phillips, homiesexual, male + he/him/his → isn’t that bryce fowler? i’ve seen them hanging out with the half ghosts. i hear they’re 30, but they’ve only been in alexandria for ???. they seem to be flirty & transparent, but also dismissive & fog-headed.

TWO new wanted connections have been added!

did you hear ezra bolívar (édgar ramírez), our resident incubus, is looking for their uncharacteristically ex-(more than) one night (a week?) stand? they’re an utp year old utp/human who arrived in the chateau at least over a year ago. they look like aaron taylor-johnson/leo suter. the player does require you to contact them prior to filling this out. - i'm imagining an uncharacteristical (maybe whirlwind) romance and/or sexual relationship that lasted like a week or a little more/less before ezra does what he does and bails to find the next hole to breed thrill to chase, the next adventure to be had. if they are supernatural, i figure that supernatural identities were not discussed (cause he was unaware he was supernatural until like recently) but could play a factor in their attraction to each other in the first place. this could have happened years ago, maybe a decade if your muse is immortal/don't age. ideally, now that they're both here in alexandria they'd want to continue their situationship/develop it into something more... but first they'd probably have to work things out with ezra since he's a dumb dumb that cannot commit (why?) - @enshrcuded 

did you hear bayram sahin (yusuf cim), our resident harpy, is looking for their 2 brothers? they’re ~28-38 year old harpies who arrived in the chateau 5 years ago. they look like any turkish fcs who resemble yusuf cim. the player does not require you to contact them prior to filling this out. - the family is extremely close & originally from istanbul. one of the brothers accidentally exposed his harpy powers to a human boy when they were kids when he was being attacked. bayram was the first one who came to america for school and eventually brought his family over; when he found alexandria, he brought them all down. the rest is up to you and i left the background super open. as long as you use a turkish name for your character & if you need help with fcs, hmu!! - @newsalvations

ONE new location has been added!

SEVENTH HEAVEN: to look at seventh heaven, you'd think you were looking into a time portal. the building, located in a little more seedier part of town, is three stories tall with a rather large basement. built specifically by sephiroth, the top floor is his place that takes over the full layout of the building. the first and second floors are home to the bar, designed to look like a medieval tavern that the darklighter grew up around. although you can get modern beverages, seth has tried to make beers that tasted just like how he remembered them. the hidden feature to his bar however is located in the basement. several cells all designed like the dungeons of the castle he served in. though, this dungeon is used more for pleasure than it is for pain. some of the cells are private, while some are visible to each other via metal bars, for the more voyeuristic in nature.

[T]he history of the American crossword is white all the way down. Will Shortz believes that the first Black man to publish a crossword in the Times was Wesley Johnson in 1996. The first Black woman to publish a Times crossword was Soleil Saint-Cyr in 2021. […] Crosswords have always been understood, however subliminally, as a product of "white culture" in the US—a product of white culture that nonetheless passes itself off as the guardian of common knowledge and a test of racially unmarked intelligence.

[…] One cartoon from a 1924 issue of Judge magazine brings to the surface an otherwise latent symptom: the puzzle's function as a way of testing and restricting knowledge along racial lines. The cartoon features two minstrel figures, a man and woman in blackface. She says to him: "Man, you don't mean nothin' to me, youse just de black parts of a crossword puzzle, you is!" The cartoon plots the coordinates of racial difference along the crossword's black-and-white design: white squares are filled with all that is “meaningful" or worth knowing; black squares mean nothing. It's a rather neat metaphor for white supremacy. The white squares are where cultural relevance lies, but there could be no white squares (or shape to that relevance) if not for the buttressing black squares. That the cartoon is written in Black dialect—with words that, at the time, would never have been deemed "puzzle-worthy"—only emphasizes, again by way of metaphor, the crossword's historical project of legislating language's proper use by coding "good words" as "white" ones. Or more precisely, "good words" as "not Black" ones.

Words, per se, don't have identity politics. But when launched into circulation—By whom? In what context? With what intent?—they become load-bearing devices. They carry political implications, erecting borders that are inevitably fraught with the psychic and material baggage of identity. Some words carry this baggage in almost every context. […] [W]ords, and the images they conjure, fuel our attachments and aversions—our many misrecognitions. […]

There is…a startling similarity between the language used about crosswords in the earliest days of the "craze" and the way I now understand their relationship to my eating disorder. Judge magazine's racist crossword cartoon, for example, is surrounded by images and articles that present the 1920s fad for puzzles as a "vice." The crossword was a distraction from the home and from more serious forms of knowledge production and consumption. Americans—white Americans—were becoming crossword "addicts," unable to go about their day without dipping into the puzzle or rummaging through reference books. They could go without food but not without the crossword. This puzzle "dependency"—as it was hysterically construed—wasn't a simple proxy for alcoholism in the days of Temperance. There's an air of self congratulation circulating in these images: We’re addicted to knowledge. We can't help but test our intelligence every hour of the day. Put otherwise, the crossword was an ironic vice—both a vice and a sign of white virtue. Both a guilty pleasure and a symbol of supremacy.

A vice that is also a sign of white virtue: this is how anorexia circulates in the popular imagination, even though eating disorders affect men and women from all races and ethnicities at a similar rate. When, at fourteen, I misrecognized myself in the image of "the anorexic" and that of "the crossword constructor," I wasn't thinking about whiteness. I was trying to imagine a virtuous version of myself, and perhaps unsurprisingly, I internalized an ugly logic buried deep within both "vices": to be virtuous is to be self-controlled; to be self-controlled is to be white.

In her 2019 book Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia, Sabrina Strings describes the origins of this logic in the rise of the transatlantic slave trade and the spread of Protestantism. By the nineteenth century, she writes, these twinned phenomena produced a "coherent ideology" in the United States—a “synchronized repression of 'savage' blackness and the generation of disciplined whiteness." However noxious this ideology—and however much it informed my attraction to both anorexia and the crossword puzzle—neither the body nor language can ever truly be disciplined. Lacking nutrients, the anorexic brain suffers cognitive distortions, wresting from the anorexic the control she so desperately sought. The crossword puzzle unleashes the chaos of language, maximizing its polymorphic perversity through wordplay, just as it promises to rein language in— to make it neat, orderly, and gridded.

—Anna Shechtman, The Riddles of the Sphinx: The Feminist History of the Crossword Puzzle (2024)

The 8 Best Water Bottles

Reusable water bottles that are both gorgeous and useful appear as though a need in our cutting-edge, hydration-fixated world. In any case, finding the right one to match your own taste can be a test — it relies upon what you're searching for in the midst of the mob of varieties, shapes, and elements. Subsequent to placing in over 120 hours of exploration — and testing north of 100 bottles starting around 2014 — we've picked the eight best water bottles in various materials and styles. They incorporate our most flexible pick, which has elbowed its far beyond the more notable rivalry, and an economical container with a straw, dearest for its usefulness in any driving situation. Whether you're searching for a jug to drink from while flying, a glass bottle (on the off chance that you're disinclined to plastic), a tightened bottle, a plastic jug (on the off chance that you're unwilling to exorbitant costs), a fancier jug, or a tempered steel model, all of our number one water bottles offer some extra to any individual who's irritated by defective hydration. Why you ought to trust us Since we originally made this aide, in 2014, we've tried in excess of 100 distinct bottles over a long time. We likewise talked with a ton of specialists. Given the fame of metal water bottles, we needed to get some understanding into how that twofold walled protection functions. So we called NASA, the best specialists on thermodynamics we could imagine. Through email, we talked with Wesley Johnson, a cryogenics research engineer at NASA's Glenn Exploration Center in Cleveland. We likewise talked with metropolitan organizer Josselyn Ivanov, who thought of her lord's proposition on the decay of freely accessible water, also known as water fountains, for MIT's Branch of Metropolitan Examinations and Arranging. "Without even a trace of speculation and upkeep [in drinking fountains], many individuals make up for the shortcoming by pulling around their own customized framework," she told us. Furthermore, across four unique essayists (Sam Schild contributed the latest round of testing, in mid-2022) and nine years of work, we've seen in excess of 100 emphasess of a similar item. From the hard-plastic Nalgene that bulldozed school grounds during the 2000s to a $5,000-in addition to Chanel bottle (which looks newly plundered from Blackbeard's money box), these water bottles all do exactly the same thing Who this is for the water bottle Basically anybody can profit from having a water bottle they love. Conveying a reusable water bottle is better for the climate and more financially savvy than purchasing filtered water. Filtered water creation in the US alone in 2007 required somewhere close to 32 million and 54 million barrels of oil, as per a review distributed in the diary Natural Exploration Letters (PDF). That is approximately 2,000 fold the amount of as the energy cost of delivering regular water, and filtered water deals in the US have developed to 15 billion gallons in 2020, from 8.76 billion gallons in 2007. For customers, filtered water is likewise multiple times more costly than regular water. Include the way that in 2009 almost 50% of all filtered water sold in the US was just expensive, prepackaged faucet water (PDF), and it becomes hard to prevent the worth from getting a very much made reusable water bottle. The most flexible The spout cover on the Takeya stands apart in light of the fact that you can lock it after you flip it open — so it doesn't hit your face. Also, when it's shut, it covers the drinking surface totally. The situation turns off to uncover a 2¼ broad mouth opening, so you can include anything that you like: Burden the jug with ice, add an electrolyte powder, thud in some lemon wedges. A silicone rain boot, or base, comes standard on this jug and keeps it from slipping or making commotion on hard surfaces. Takeya likewise offers a straw cover, which you can buy independently.

Writer: flower gay!

Summary: y/n needs to pay just a bit more attention during smore time

Authors note: heitkkwbs ahhh I'm publishing my first writing on here Jesus Christ!

It was just a joke. A dumb thing messing with fire at night. A few friends around and burnt marshmallows in the air. Y/n and Wes were making faces and stuffing their faces with poorly made smores. A few others from smosh sitting around, they were gonna record a video, but while others were setting it up, they were getting a fire going. "Cold smores taste gross, someone get a fire going!" Wes complained as he ate yet another smore of unmelted chocolate and marshmallows.

Noah, courteous as always, also having hairspray, offered if someone had a lighter they could do the extreme fire making. "I'll got it." He grinned, saying a quiet thanks as someone in the background crew tossing over a lighter. Noah, he, he meant well, he really did, but accidents happen.

Everyone, keep in mind, was in shorts, and a t-shirt, it was the middle of the day after all. He shook the can exaggeratedly before spraying and putting the lighter in front of it. He thought he was just directing at the wood and paper. But no, y/n's leg was there. It barely caused third degree burns but a screech and cry of pain erupted shockingly fast. Someone in the crew sprayed her with the fire extinguisher.

"Fuck! Fuck! Y-y/n, I'm so, fuck I'm so sorry!" Noah temporarily went into shock as he couldn't believe he had done such a thing. Before scrambling out for an apology as she was sobbing and clinging to Wes desperately. "I'm gonna drive y/n to a hospital." He said quickly as he easily picked her up and was careful as he rushed out to his car. Cooing soft things to calm her down. "You're alright, I promise you'll be okay." He kept mumbling like a mantra to her.

Wes was going 20 over the speed limit as he manuvered through the cars to the nearest hospital. Y/n still painfully crying as she wanted to clutch her leg but that made it worse. When they finally arrived Wes rushed to pick her up and run in, barely remembering to lock the car.

The receptionist looked puzzled as she stared at him with a confused look, his face was red and full of worry. Until she noticed the girl sobbing and a red leg. She frowned and called in a room, the emergency room was empty, deciding to dial in a room and rushing him over. Sure it wasn't life threatening, but it could've been, and she couldn't tell how deep the burns were.

Which also meant Wes had to go sit in the waiting room, leg bouncing and itching his head as if he had lice. It took a while until he was let back in, and when he was, he couldn't be more over joyed. Something wrapped around her leg, and eating a lollipop as if she were a kid who just got a shot.

"Wes!" Y/n called excitedly as she looked at him, arms open as he walked over and hugged her tightly. "What'd they say?" He asked. "Just first degree burns, should be gone in less than a week but it's a miracle I didn't get second degree burns." She explained, lingering on the hug tiredly. "Good, I thought... I was really worried. I love you." He mumbled under his breath, assuming she couldn't quite hear the words. But alas, she could.

Y/n's face heating up and looking up at him, an embarrassing smile creeping up. "What?" She spoke softly. "Shit, you heard that?" He laughed nervously and avoided eye contact. "Sorta, but, can I tell you a secret?" She whispered as she gestured for him to come closer. "I think I love you too." Y/n smiled before leaning in to press a kiss to his cheek.

The lineup is from left to right; Axel Trololol, Jose Haley, Justice Spoon, Isaac Johnson, Goobie Ballson, Rivers Rosa, Lou Roseheart, Peanut Holloway, Declan Suzanne, Thomas Kirby, Joshua Butt, Peanutiel Duffy, Mullen Peterson, Kennedy Rodgers, Joshua Watson, Paula Mason, Tyreek Olive, Atlas Guerra, Caleb Alvarado, Wesley Poole, Edric Tosser, Swamuel Mora, Baby Triumphant, and Socks Maybe./ end image description]

Been working on this for awhile and its done! This is just generally how tall some of the firefighters in the Lake Michigan Lore Camp imagine each of the players to be.

Best Quotes of 2020

For the past two years I've listed my favorite quotes of the year and I'm doing it again! Here is the best quote (or sometimes a few...) of each book I read this year, in the order I read the books.

1. "Ugh, human emotions were like barbed wire. There are just no safe way to grab hold of them or get through them." - The Tyrant's Tomb by Rick Riordan

2. "If I were a tree, I would have no reason to love a human." - The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

3. "While I'm gone, dream me the world. Something new for every night." - The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater

4. "Honey, you're only twenty-five. You don't need to have it all figured out." - Roomies by Christina Lauren (note: I really felt this, especially being 25 at the time)

5. "Maybe it was good that the world forgot every lesson, every good and bad memory, every triumph and failure, all of it dying with each generation. Perhaps this cultural amnesia spared them all. Perhaps if they remembered everything, hope would die instead." - Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater

6. "What a strange constellation they all were." / "If you can't be unafraid, be afraid and happy." / "I'm not asking him to stay. Only to come back." - The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater

7. "It didn't seem right to me that his weakest self got to decide how my life was going to turn out, what my family was going to look like." / "Women will crush you, you know? I suppose everybody hurts everybody, but women always seem to get back up, you ever notice that? Women are always still standing." - Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

8. "In what universe is our compensation comparable? Because he's a man? Who knew a penis was worth so much?" - Dating You/Hating You by Christina Lauren

9. "Life is often simple, but you don’t notice how simple it was until it gets incredibly complicated" - The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary

10. "Dreams are not the safest thing to build a life on." / "This wasn't living, it was just giving up while still breathing." - Call Down the Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater

11. "I don't want them to change me in there, turn me into some kind of monster that I'm not." - The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (note: this was my 6th time reading the book)

13. "What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again. And only Peeta can give me that." - Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins (note: this was my 6th time reading the book)

14. "I don't care if I'm called Prince or Starborn or the Chosen One or any of that. The only thing I want to be called right now is your brother. If you'll have me." - House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas

15. "You’ve no right to starve people, to punish them for no reason. No right to take away their life and freedom. Those are things everyone is born with, and they’re not yours for the taking. Winning a war doesn’t give you that right. Having more weapons doesn’t give you that right. Being from the Capitol doesn’t give you that right. Nothing does." - The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins (note: I read this book twice back to back, first in Finnish and then in English)

16. "Just because it could be worse doesn't mean you don't get to acknowledge how much it sucks, you know." - You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson

17. "Do not let those who cannot see the truth tell you who you are. You are the flame that cannot be put out. You are the star that cannot be lost.

We could love him. We do love him." / "You're my heart, Magnus Bane. Stay unbroken, for me." - The Lost Book of the White by Cassandra Clare & Wesley Chu (note: all from Alec "I-changed-the-world-for-the-love-of-my-life" Lightwood(-Bane), how is he like this? 🥺)

A Midsummer’s Nightmare

I’ve just finished reading A Midsummer’s Nightmare for like the gazillionth time so I thought I’d compile a little list of which actors would play the characters should the book be made into a film (or just the actors I imagine when I’m reading it).

So first, we have Whitley: Kody mentioned that she had Willa Holland in mind when writing the book, after watching her on The OC. Honestly, I can totally see this. I was introduced to Willa Holland as the party animal Agnes, the model who went into business with Jenny Humphrey and then burned all her dresses on Gossip Girl. So I can draw the comparisons to her and Whitley. Now Willa hasn't had long hair in almost a decade and Whitley doesn’t have short hair, so we can just pretend.

However

Willa Holland is almost 29 and some may say she’s past the age of playing a teenager, so a more fitting age-appropriate option is Kelli Berglund. She looks like a BAD BITCH. She definitely could pull off Whitley’s sass, sexiness and bitchiness. 

Nathan is a character I’m not sure about. I never had a picture of him in my mind. He always changed. I’m sure on my first reading of it, I had a picture, but after five years, I lost it. I pictured Wesley from The DUFF, Cash from SHUT OUT, and Ryder from Lying Out Loud. I think Gregg Sulkin is a good contender. He sort of has that ambiguous look that Kody described Nathan having. He’s secretly a total geek but he’s getting into college on a sports scholarship. He’s a geek and a jock. Which Gregg could pull off.

Now Bailey! She has to be one of my favourite characters. She can totally pull Whitley out of her shell and is the only one she won’t be a bitch to (or at least feel sorry about being a bitch to). Therefore, I firmly believe Ruby Rose Turner is the perfect choice. 

Harrison Carlyle is one I was also stuck on, because I had a certain way I pictured him. Whitley would make out with anyone but she knows who’s good looking and who's not. She pegged Harrison as being on the same level (or at least that’s what I took from it) of attractiveness as Wesley. And we know Wesley is hot (Wesley also mentioned that if Harrison was straight, he’d be scared because he’d have competition with girls). But I also needed someone I could imagine calling Whitley a ‘fashion slut’. So I think Froy Gutierrez is perfect

I think the parents are a big part of this story too, so we couldn't forget Sylvia and Greg! I pictured Gwyneth Paltrow as Sylvia not just because of physical appearance but because she looks like she can balance a loving, forgiving, welcome-to-our-family side with a stern lawyer who knows where the boundaries are. Hell yes. Greg Johnson is a charismatic, well-loved news anchor more than he is a dad, so I thought it was important for him to look less like your typical dad and more like a local celebrity. Josh Duhamel was perfect.
