A Familiar Sight

A not-uncommon sight in rural Ireland: a pair of abandoned cottages on a minor road in the Knockmealdown Mountains, County Waterford. Their semi-detached status and matching design suggest these were originally built for local estate workers. The buildings are reasonably substantial, of two storeys and with several rooms on each floor. It appears work was begun on restoring one of them but this…

Mulling over the idea of Kae in the Abyss verse slowly transforming into an Abyss herald or smth bc of the influence of all the Abyssal energy he'd absorbed and used, but instead of simply accepting it; he's utterly terrified and the Instant someone, anyone, finds him partway corrupted, him just Immediately reaching out to them so desperately, pride be damned, and begging them in tears to stay, to not leave him alone, like a child craving solace in the face of thunder-

#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. ); #//It's about #//The lad who refuses to show his vulnerabilities heckin BREAKING as he loses his humanity #//Bc he CAN'T keep his composure; bc he's realizing just how SCARED he really was all along #//And the consequences/risk he thought he could take for the sake of 'finding a way to save his people' he's realizing are Too Much #//Finally hitting him how much he tried to take on; how damn much was put on his shoulders #//And how ALONE he wound up in the end; in pursuit of a heritage he desperately craved to know; people he was told were his responsibility #//That he OWED it to those people; being one of the last & most willing to 'do right' by them; his life SHOULD mean nothing compared to the #//& as such casting aside everything he knew bc he truly believed it was his burden/task to bear; no one else should be dragged into it #//Distrusting that anyone would take him or his Purpose seriously if he told them of his conflict; or worse; would react so BADLY to his #//Like how his most important person; his Sworn Brother; had half a decade ago #//Or perhaps he'd feared that if he told them; they could talk him OUT of following through with it #//And he'd let it all be; even Knowing the things he does; dreaming and hearing what he does #//Forever holding the guilt nestled deep in his heart until the day he dies #//But would that lifetime of simmering heartache compare to his solitude now?

somebody be my impulse control and tell me not to make a heritage posts blog

#alfpost #OKAY SO. context. theres two things im looking at to grab in and fill what i believe is a critical lack of something in a niche #1. the only warriors heritage posts blog i could find has like. 2 posts on it and doesnt seem active. we can do better #2. ghost trick deserves one and i cant find any which is fuckign strange considering anything made in that tag gets passed around like a #bouncy ball by everyone it looks like. kinda like how the flight rising tumblrsphere works from what ive observed #but the problem with option 1 is that. theres so many fucking warriors posts i will be Buried. and since warriors is so big #itll be hard to be recognised as any sort of 'official' (as in semi respected and not just some rando) heritage posts blog for a while #while for ghost trick since it hasnt been around in my life as long as warriors theres always the risk that i will get tired of it for at #least a little while and i wish not to keep the people in waiting if the blog goes inactive #do ya understand?

dc has so much wasted potential it kills me

#sorry for the negativity it's just like. i just talked about kory #but also look at the storys they choose to tell with Joey Wilson #and Barbara Gordon #and Victor Stone #and how they just squander all of that for the sake of making everything into this manufactured version of normalcy in order to maximize #profits because the bible of capitalism says that generic-ness equals marketability #it's just so frustrating that they're never willing to take risks or explore anything more than such a narrow view of the world #think about the stories they could tell with Tara Markov if they weren't busy focusing on Slade Wilson #or the stories they could tell about Grace and Anissa #everything just feels so shallow at dc right now #they're so willing to discard characters of color while writing the same batman comic 17 times over at once #tom taylor throws in one poorly written line referencing Dick's Romani heritage and thinks he's a hero??? like really?? this is the bar??? #why can't you get a romani creator to write him??? #why can't you give Duke anything ongoing when there are how many batbooks running???? #you really can't find any disabled woman willing to write Barbara Gordon as orcale? you really think fans prefer babsgirl to her? #idk if it's a problem with dc or the fandom or both and maybe i'm just out of touch because i only talk to specific people about comics #but if one of your writers is constantly critiqued and called out about abelism maybe you should actually do something instead of just #ignoring the issues... #idk i've been reading old comics with Mal Duncan and it just makes me ask: dc where is he? #and then i look at so many characters of color who just get discarded completely #like the fox family bea mal and karen and onyx and orpheus #the batfam post about black characters getting discarded so quickly makes me question if this happens in other fams as well at dc i just #have little experience with anyone outside the batfam and titans #like hello where's anita from young justice??? she just dropped off the face of the earth when teen titans 2003 changed the lineup #it's especially frustrating when the og creator cares about them and gives them personality and depth (or at least makes them interesting #or likeable or compelling because let's be real a lot of the og creators are also racist) and then immediately after they leave the #vision for the character is completely lost #negativity #vent post #dc you made me attached to these characters just to suffer i swear

My biggest complaint about red white and blue is the cover ToT

(Don't take me too seriously dhdhf)

#red white and royal blue #lb #by this i mean: the novel? AMAZING. excellent superb. i am enjoying it phenomenally #the cover however reminds me more of the 200 page or less romance comedies that are very lighthearted with very little #depth of stress. which is fine. thats also a good kind of book. #but rwrb has like... alex being the biggest bitch in it. a workaholic out of touch emotionally (but very Emotionally acting) man #prince henry and the Actual Horrificly Fucked reality of life in the spotlight. political Weight and stress of calling out poljticial issues #By Name and risking alienating the reader audience by REQUIRING them to learn to sympathize with alex who may be unlike them #and who Feels unlike those in power and who Feels half his heritage hes being estranged from with his moms situation #and then Also asking you the reader to empathize with henry in a way you have provably never had to do in real life with Anyone like him #because in real life we simply never meet someone in henrys situation #its not the polish of prince charming. its the heartwrenching pain and fear and tragedy of Being #The Symbolic Prince Charming. it is a much HEAVIER novel than its cover implies #and i like the cover and think the Pop Bright Cover made romcom readers give it a chance and likely #expanded the readership and got readers to try a novel the would not otherwise have given a chance. so marketing wise its Excellent. #but i feel like... the core Reader who would go out specifically looking for a novel Like rwrb would #see this cover and assumr the story isnt as heavy as they were looking for. #likewise i saw caseys other book cover and i hate it lol ToT i would actively avoid reading it #but becausr its Casey writing? i bet it IS as heavy and complex emotionally and Specific as i want a novel to be #its just the cover of bright pop orange and pink was not designed for Me. it was designed to appeal to a broad audience

Personally I giggled when I heard that it was 2 navy seals who died in Somalia. Literally do not beef w a country who took being coast guards into their own hands [I refuse to say pirate]! They helped save their waters ecosystem from overfishing and pollution from foreigners in their waters. They had to learn the hard way 🤷🏻‍♀️

Untapped Potential

Almost exactly five years ago, in early May 2019, Scouting Ireland announced that it was closing its centre at Mount Melleray, County Waterford. According to a report carried at the time in the local Dungarvan Gazette, a spokesperson for the organisation said of the closure, ‘This decision, which is a precautionary measure, has been taken after a planned health and safety audit identified a…

Even without his Vision, Kaeya is not wholly helpless.

If there was one thing he could appreciate about his father, it’s that the man raised him with full knowledge of self-defense as a child. He needed to be able to handle himself should they ever be separated, after all. Especially when it came to any Abyssal creatures they might face, or otherwise any hostile people they may encounter.

He knew all the best places to drive in a knife, what tendons to cut, how to best blind an opponent, and creatively so at that. He knew how to set traps and buy himself a precious few seconds more, how to use those said seconds in a fraction of that time. He knew how to use an opponent’s physical strength against them, how to counter someone with a Vision/elemental energy usage as best he could. To not let himself get caught so off guard no matter what, bc the moment that control was wrenched away from him, his disadvantages would be nigh insurmountable.

The man taught him to harness Abyssal energy, using a small fraction of it—no more than that, his father made him promise; never more than the necessary—to make swift little jumps through space, even to facilitate escape or victory, whichever he’d choose. In time, he would have taught him to use the elements through it too, as many Abyssal beings had done, as a particular last resort, but having been left to the Ragnvindrs’ care, he never got the chance.

Though it didn’t stop Kaeya from trying. Not wanting to be left behind after Diluc had gotten his Vision and wanting to be useful to him as his right hand, he tried his best at figuring it all out. Felt it tug at something deep inside him like a tether each time he tried, failing just as many, only managing the all too familiar wisps of Abyssal energy he was more familiar with. It was through encountering an Abyss Mage and coming in contact with the ice it conjured that he finally got a better grasp at what to do.

Only for him to realize each conjure of Abyssal energy-infused ice was nothing short of painful each time, the energy within him thrumming so much amid the curse he already bore as a Khaenri’ahn, so much so, it would frighten and dissuade him from using those abilities anyway. For a short time, at least, until he realized how well it helped in a pinch. Still, he became far more wary. Even with his desperation to try and catch up to Diluc, his father’s warning against abusing the Abyssal energy coursing within him burning brighter in mind with every use. Especially when a Pyro Abyss mage lingering about a domain tried to call his attention after he’d been pushed to use that power.

Nothing good would come out of using such an ability, he’d decided then—keeping to the bare minimum, like his father wanted would be best. He wouldn’t want to be so marked by the Abyss otherwise. Wouldn’t want to increase the risk of his attempts and powers being found out, certainly not by the family that had taken him in.

Is it any wonder he was so horrified to find it was a Cryo Vision that had come to him that fateful night?

#hc; kaeya #//Eh; shit pertaining to my Kae #long post for ts #//After Luc left; he did start using those powers again #//At first; it was more rather self-destructively #//Both in deliberately bc 1) he didn’t wanna even Touch his Vision & still fought as a knight as though he did—luckily having same element #//Even killed Eroch himself after revealing his heritage and power to the man—which he was deffo NOT proud of #//Didn’t realize how bad the abyssal energy would influence his emotional state to a crueler anger and vindictiveness #//As far as anyone knows; an Abyss Mage killed him—Kae bears that secret with Varka alone; tho the man doesn’t know abt the Abyss energy #//As far as Varka knows; Kae accidentally avenged Crepus via a Vision misfire in the midst of confronting the man #//And 2) unconsciously; when he’d end up freezing things when upset even when he’d thrown his Vision across the room #//It scared him a lot; since he wondered if that meant Abyssal beings could locate him easier. And thus risk everyone at the Winery #//But then the real kicker came when he realized the Reverse could be true #//And thus decided he would use his whole connection with Abyssal energy to track them all down & kill em #//Worked beautifully ever since; finding use in that to HELP Mond; not jeopardize his home #//The practicality of it was quite handy #//Up until he started sensing that energy off the Traveler—BUT he let that slide when he realized they didn’t change for the worse #//Plus he trusted them—surely they couldn’t be up to anything BAD. His judge of character isn’t THAT bad! #//Does become a bit wary after meeting Dain with them tho—bc now he worries if they could sense anything off abt HIM #//Idk; might go back and edit but ye. This is canon to my Kae #//One can tell the diff btw his vision made ice and Abyssal energy tainted based on body reactions #//A more pronounced lingering numbness and a /gnawing/ feeling in the wound is typically Abyssal-infused ice #//Appearance wise; if the ice is murkier in color; almost like something darker is inside it…yeah. It’s easier to note with a keener eye #//Or elemental sight—the difference is quite stark through that #//which if brought up; he will either gaslight tf outta them that THEY’RE sick or smth; or attribute it to a previous Abyss mage encounter

I know I don’t have a large following. I know this post will get lost in the sea of other posts. I know I don’t come on here often, and when I do I try to keep my page free from death and other serious topics. Yet, I think this is imperative to say, especially since I myself am of indigenous descent. I ask all of you to join me in solidarity.

Cole Brings Plenty, actor, model, and most importantly activist was found dead. He was assaulted in a club in Lawrence, Kansas. He was killed and his braids; a symbol of his heritage, of his Lakota decent, and a sacred symbol across many an indigenous nation, were forcibly cut.

I beg of thee and I plead with thee, spread the word. Do your part, however big or little, to bring light to this situation. Whether it be by reblogging this post or others alike, or by going out and making a stand. Do it.

Shed light on the situation. This goes beyond the death of one man. It is about the abuse and the destruction of natives and their communities. Of the killing of many an innocent soul. Of the brutalization of many First Nations.

We have seen time and time again, many indigenous people die by similar means. We need to bring light on the deaths of any and all indigenous individuals dead, missing or at risk. It is an epidemic, an assault, and a silent cleansing of many a nation.

Whether it be the estimated 6,000 dead at the hands of Canadian residential schools, the murdered and missing indigenous women and children, or the killing of an actor and activist, you cannot deny the sheer abhorrence of this problem. The problem of many Native American people dying, going missing and being abused, at an alarming rate. At a level unprecedented and unparalleled, at a level of which should not be kept silent.

Cole Brings Plenty, actor, model, activist.

Look at him and spread awareness for him and for many others befallen by the same fate.

Remember him. Remember all of the others. Let nobody else befall the same fate again.

Danny and Damien are twins au, but a slightly redeemed vlad makes Danny the CEO of Vlad Co and DALV and all his other shell companies. Danny is danny, he got pushed into this against his will and is very overwhelmed by CEO duties, so he reaches out to one of his father's sons, Timothy Drake-Wayne, for advice

-------------------

So, danny definitely knows his heritage in this au. He was the spare to Damien's heir, and while their relationship was strained by the constant competition, they still love each other, even when Danny started to show more proficiency in infiltration and subterfuge than assassination. Damien and Danny have a huge fight before Danny leaves, with Damien swearing to never forgive Danny for his betrayal, while Danny is like "what betrayal??? I just cant bring myself to kill someone outside of self-defense??"

(One of the things I hate about Danny and Damien Twin AUs is this depiction that, just because (usually) Danny is unwilling to kill, that makes him weak and a traitor. You think the medical staff in the LoA are assassinating people? Or the lawyers? He's not useless, he's just not good as an assassin)

He was sent to the Fentons at like... seven? eight? to study how the Fentons are purifying lazurus waters from Jack and Maddie, both of whom are partly sponsored by the League of Assassins. He's also learning more about spying from Jack, surprisingly, because no one would expect him of being a top tier spy. He has the occasional mission as a child, but it's mostly shadowing Jack to learn how to spy.

Danny sends letters to both Talia and Damien regarding updates on his training and the Fenton's research, but after a year of no reply from Damien, it's only to Talia. He's feels super hurt by this, and abandoned by the LoA, but the Fentons are kind and familial, and Talia visits once a year. She's unwilling to risk visiting more often, lest she risk getting the JL or the Spiders attention, but sometimes she even manages to visit on his birthday!

(Meanwhile, Talia starts sending birthday assassins to kill Damien so she can spend their birthday with Danyal. She's a really hot and cold mom.

Talia: You can choose me, and have a birthday dinner. Or you can choose your father and have a birthday assassin. You're choice. )

When Slade blows up the LoA, Danyal is given permanent orders to remain as Daniel Fenton until Talia, and only Talia, brings him back to the League. No missions and only one letter every six months. But when Ra's comes back to life and the League is back in power, Talia... never tells Danyal. Because she's seen how happy Damien is being a normal child with their father and wants that for Danyal too. Plus, she wants to continue to have a good relationship one of her children, sue her bruce.

So Danny is completely convinced that the League is mostly gone other than his mother, her zealots, and knows that his brother is living with their father. and he's... relieved. His brother is safe, and his mom told him their grandfather was avenged, so Danny can just enjoy his life. Which he does.

He sends out his six month report days before the portal accident.

Canon stuff happens until Danny is sixteen and Vlad, the fruitloop, steps down as CEO and strong-arms Danny into becoming CEO in his place. Jack and Maddie (who at this point know [or have always known in Jack's case, adn Danny didn't appreciate his dad using his his poker face against him like that] about Phantom) are thrilled.

Vlad is using his "foster son" (Dark Danny, but in this idea, he's Dante Masters) as an excuse as to why he's stepping down, since Dante needs all the attention he can give as a "troubled youth". Danny secretly hopes Dante kills Vlad in his sleep, but signs the papers away.

And there's so much work.

Danny has some idea of what he's doing (Vlad co is a tech company and DALV is weapons manufacturing, plus vlad gave him a crash course on CEOing). Sam and Tuck even help! But he wishes there was someone who could understand the pain of being a CEO while still a teen. But... his father's son, his brother, is one such person. And even though the other would never know, he really wanted to get to know his other siblings. So Danny reaches out for advice to Timothy Drake-Wayne.

Tim is immediately on guard when this Damien clone walks into his office claiming to be the new Vlad Co CEO. The clone acts nothing like Damien, but he still thinks this Danny Fenton is a league plant.

His paranoia doubles when Damien freaks out and confesses that A) Danny is apparently his twin brother and B) that he's been with the League of Assassins this whole time. Damien, who really doesn't want to admit that the reason he forced himself to forget his brother was because said brother didn't want to kill people, says "Tch. I didn't want to associate with the likes of him, so I put him out of my mind." Tim now believes that he's dealing with a master assassin with a huge grudge against Damien and Danyal showing no signs of malicious or aggression in their meetings only convinces him that Danyal is a master actor too.

Which, Danyal is a master actor. But all that other stuff is just Tim reaching.

Happy Earth Day!

We share this beautiful planet with over two million other species, from wasps the size of a grain of dust to whales larger than an office building. Yet, many of these species now face extinction due to the ways in which we humans have modified the planet to suit our needs. According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), 13% of birds, 21% of reptiles, 27% of mammals, 37% of sharks, and 41% of amphibians are currently endangered, and some estimates suggest that 28% of all species on Earth are at risk of extinction in the near future. Imagine you woke up tomorrow and more than a quarter of every plant, animal, and fungus, from the elephants at the zoo to the earthworms beneath the soil, simply vanished, never to be seen ever again. If we choose to continue treating our planet so poorly, this will become a reality.

Here at Consider Nature, we believe the best way to protect our planet is to arm ourselves with knowledge! Over the years, we have written many articles on some of Earth’s coolest, weirdest, and most-endangered species, in the hope of inspiring readers to step up to the plate and protect biodiversity. I hope you will spend a few minutes of your Earth Day today reading about some of the species we believe are worth saving.
