National Mother Goose Day

You may already be familiar with Mother Goose, the rhymes and tales that she spun. The little old lady who rode her goose, and has been a staple for many over the years. Much like The Brothers Grimm, Dr Seuss, Robert Munch, and Shel Silverstein. Yet, Mother Goose is something altogether. Mother Goose is that warm, fondly remembered family member. The one that shows up for family reunions,…

St Ethelbert’s Day

The Conversion of King Ethelbert. Source: Fr Lawrence Lew on Flickr

Today is St Ethelbert’s Day. Ethelbert’s considerable claim to fame is that he was reputedly the first Christian Anglo-Saxon king, welcoming St Augustine on his evangelising mission to Ethelbert’s kingdom of Kent, and installing Augustine as England’s first Archbishop, based at Canterbury. Ethelbert was duly canonised after his death and commemorated by the Venerable Bede with the poetic phrase: ‘[Ethelbert was] The third English King to hold sway over all southern Britain, but the first to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.’

In fact Ethelbert had been a pagan monarch but his wife, Queen Bertha, originally a Roman Catholic Frankish princess, was a fervent Christian which was why the king was willing to give a hearing to Augustine (interestingly apparently in the open air to avoid falling for any Christian conjuring tricks). Although not initially persuaded personally by Augustine’s teachings, Ethelbert did allow the bishop to practice freely amongst his subjects and the new faith spread like wildfire. By the time of Ethelbert’s death, most of the people of Kent had converted. If the extent of Ethelbert’s own Christian beliefs remains a subject of dispute, there can be no denying his pivotal role in the process of the Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England.

I read the first Hunger Games book for the first time (yeah, I know I know) and now all I can imagine is a Descendants Au of it.

Like, the villains keep having children, and the children are having children. The isle of so overpopulated, very quickly, and the only solution that the villains think of is making a group of children fight to death each year. This is eight years into the Isle. The goblins row the kids out to the Isle of Doom, and go back at the end of each week. Some are done in that first week, the longest went two months.

The first few times the kids tried not to, they are kids, but then the adults just killed them all.

Unlike the Hunger Games, they allow one male and one female to come out alive (this proves their worth, and their children could be "strong". Remember, these are villains trying to get off the Isle)

Jay ends up in three times, he comes out each of them just a little more haunted.

Mal goes in at ten, she comes out without her wings and half dead. Gil was in that year, and he saved her life. (He found out about her dad, because Mal's flames showed themselves and she survived too many attempts on her life. He becomes a shadow to her, and not even Uma's wrath will make him stop)

Evie ends up in there at 15, going in Dizzy's place. It was the quickest game the Isle ever had. She poisoned the remaining food and water, and thanks to her mother, she was able to go without it while waiting.

Uma and Harry were in together. Uma was 11, and Harry was 12. Ever since they've been inseparable, but they don't talk about what happened in there.

Carlos is a lucky one. His cousin Ivy took his place, and she burned the Isle of Doom to the ground. She's one of the few never allowed back there, as the next year's games weren't as entertaining for the oldest villains. (But that's the year they found out there's just a smidge of magic on the isle, because the few trees that were there grew back)

Many VK's try to disappear to avoid the games. Some live under the Isle in the tunnels, which has driven a couple mad.

And yet Auradon doesn't realize what is happening - or they just don't care.

They both look so absolutely beautiful! Didn’t expect Chloe to have full blue hair but she still looks so good!

You know the picture it’s giving?

Still not understanding how Mal got the title of protector of Auradon because she turned into a dragon and spit fire at an octopus in water. Not only that dumbass fight but literally every time she turned into a dragon she never actually won a fight, even at the end of D3 she was struggling till Uma stepped in.

Today - December 13th, 1974 - Queen Story!

Barcelona, Spain, Palacio de los Deportes de Barcelona

'Sheer Heart Attack Tour'

- Last show of the European Tour

🔸December 13th, 1974, Barcelona, Spain - Queen chatting with ‘Rock'n'Roll Popular 1’ Spanish magazine redactor Bertha M. Yebra, who also is combing Freddie’s hair in the first picture, for a photoshot session with Martín Frías (known as Martin J. Louis)

Bertha M. Yebra (editora de la revista musical 'Popular1', amiga)

“El vaig conèixer cap a l’any 1974 perquè a la revista vam dedicar a Queen una de les fotonovel·les que fèiem. Crec que va ser el primer cop que visitaven Espanya. Amb Mercury va sorgir de seguida una connexió especial, ens vam caure molt bé. Teníem aficions comunes, li agradava que el pentinés, que li pintés les ungles i que intercanviéssim braçalets i joies. Era un home fantàstic, amb una gran sensibilitat, i un talent descomunal per a la música, capaç de compondre temes tan extraordinaris com 'Bohemian rhapsody'. Des de llavors vam ser sempre amics i quan ens retrobàvem era molt afectuós i atent amb mi, com si fóssim amics de tota la vida i ens acabéssim de veure el dia abans. Vam coincidir sis o set vegades més, l’última dos anys abans de morir, quan va celebrar el seu aniversari a l’hotel Tony Pikes d’Eivissa i em va convidar. La malaltia encara no se li havia desenvolupat gaire i estava radiant, contentíssim de trobar-se amb els amics”.

I found this picture while rummaging through the internet, judging from the poor quality it isn't an officially released still, so maybe a photo from the set? it's such a pity this scene was cut!

#the gilded age #bertha russell #george russell #larry russell #my queen and her two curly-haired boys #they look so cute all together #release the uncut version!#if anybody knows where that picture is from #please let me know

sometimes i just sit and think about that how good descendants story could be. how it could be about that not everything is black or white, that there are multiple shades of grey when it comes to morality. but then, i'm getting hit by the fact that descendants is just another classist story
