He saw the discovery of whale song as a chance to spur interest in saving the giant animals, who were disappearing from the planet. Payne would produce the album “Songs of the Humpback Whale” in 1970. A surprise hit, the record galvanized a global movement to end the practice of commercial whale hunting and save the whales from extinction.

zag and mel being foils of each other makes me ill btw

like think about it with me for a second. zagreus is a neglected child who lashes out in rebellion, a boy who has been indirectly told his entire like that he was Not Wanted. his growing anger hurts the people that Do care about him, but they don't care enough to ask why he is angry. I love thanatos and megaera as much as the next person, but they really don't stop and ask Why zagreus treated them the way he did. they just don't Care. he's just a whiny little boy, never matured, why doesn't he just shut up already?

melinoe, meanwhile, has never been given room to fucking Breathe. she's under supervision 25/8. when she's not outright training she's 'playing' (also training.) when she comes of age, rebellion isn't even a passing whimsy to her. she's more weapon than woman, a little girl forced to grow up too fast. the people in her life don't seem to understand how little mel thinks of herself, and nemesis especially can't seem to wrap her head around the fact that mel was fucking groomed for this task that she's so butthurt over. everyone's looking at her and supporting her but no one's caring for her emotional needs and it's so sad.

two sides of the same coin (emotional neglect)

This is a very old song that I seldom play anymore. (excited crowd sounds)

I can't play old songs with a pick. I didn't use a pick for a long time, I was very, very macho about this sort of thing. If you're not bleeding for it, it doesn't count. That is the dumbest way of thinking (laughs), absolutely—absolutely the dumbest.

The old songs don't work as good unless I'm fully doing the thing.

That woman set herself on fire

They said it on the radio

They said she lit up the skies of Palestine

(guy in crowd: Free Palestine!)

(crowd cheers)

I could not stand to hear them say so

I saw the stars come out

Smelled the oranges on the breeze

Later on they played some Caribbean song

Man, they sure know how to pick 'em

The rich voice burning like a fuse

The syncopated rhythm

I saw the stars come out

Saw the oranges cracking open

I saw you standing there

Orange blossom in your hair

Going to Palestine (crowd cheers louder)

Going to Palestine

(crowd cheers)

Thank you!

Do we think any of the batkids' friends find it weird that they play 10 hour ambient recordings of bat vocalizations to go to sleep?

tofu…. My Shayla…. I really wanted to draw tobifuchi at the aquarium but I wonder if it’s traumatic for sunao after that LFMAO 💔

[escapedaudios]

Guys I have a very specific request. I need songs about whales. The more hyped up the musicians are for the whales the better. Seeking vibes of awe and majesty, great excitement, even mythic fascination. This isn't for an audio or anything I just want to listen to whalecore.

[pepsimanan]

I love your voice synth art! >▽<

Perhaps you could draw Vflower next? I really like them and I think they'd look great in your style (but no pressure :] !)

#24 Vflower also, thanks!!!!

Ch 13: Mistletoe

Aziraphale and Crowley start to make preparations to move south together, but things don't go as smoothly as they hoped. Later they join Newt, Ana and Pepper for an end of year break.

Ana looked between the two of them with a frown on her face. “Alright, what’s happened?” she demanded.

“What do you mean?” Aziraphale asked.

“Something’s happened between you two while you’ve been gone.”

Crowley and Aziraphale looked at each other then back at Ana, shrugging and shaking their heads. “Well -” 

“Ana, let them get inside the door, for heaven’s sake,” Newt said from behind her, saving them.

“Lots of stuff happened; you’ll need to be more specific,” Crowley said as he squirmed past her to give Pepper a hug.

“Crowley! You came back!” Pepper squealed in delight.

“Told you I would,” he said as he knelt and wrapped his arms around her.

“You’re not off the hook,” she warned Crowley with narrowed eyes. Then she turned back to Aziraphale, who was still stuck on the doorstep.

“Do you two still need to talk?” she queried.

“Ana!” Newt repeated, appearing over her shoulder. “Sorry, Aziraphale, I don’t know what’s got into her. Come inside, please,” he said, trying to pull Ana aside.

“Thank you, Newt,” Aziraphale said as he sidled in at last. “Oh, yes and no, Ana. It’s complicated, it really is,” he appealed to her.  

“And he’s not going to tell you standing in the doorway,” Newt said firmly, waving Aziraphale further in.

im honestly tired of how hades and zagreus' relationship gets misinterpreted on here.

hades is verbally abusive, yes. it goes so much deeper than just that. this isnt a revenge fantasy this is a toxic relationship slowly going back on course.

zag blames hades for persephone leaving. hes mad what trust he had in hades was broken, mad that he ever trusted hades in the first place. hes angry with everyone for withholding information from him, but he truly did trust that hades was an honest man underneath the vitriol. he winds up hades on purpose, taunts him and destroys his domain. he pisses hades off on purpose to get back at him.

hades blames zag for her leaving. hes mad that zag makes things so difficult, that hes a walking talking reminder of what he almost had. he wants persephone to live the life he thinks she deserves, one without him or the olympians, and fears for her safety when zag starts escaping. with zagreus provoking him, hades lashes out with way more hatred than he should. he wants zag to just stay out of his way despite how unhealthy that idea is for the both of them.

this game isn't about forgiveness, it's about making peace. its zagreus making peace with the olympians, with thanatos and megaera, and especially with hades. forgiveness never was on the table for them, not after all this time.
