"FL9 on the Santa Train"

NS 3010, the usual power for the Morristown and Erie's Toys for Tots train had suffered mechanical issues on its way back from the NYS&W Toys for Tots train which rendered it unusable for the following days train. This yielded two unique photographic opportunities, the first of which was the M&E Toys for Tots train operating with an M&E unit (as opposed to 3010) and the second was the chance to see the Maine Eastern FL9 leading the Whippany Santa trains. The FL9 did not power the train, it simply served as a cab car for the crew on the West end, but offered a very rare opportunity to see the engine leading a train in New Jersey before being sent back to Maine after the M&E repaired the locomotive. Here we see the train making its way back to Whippany as they cross the Algonquin Parkway. Hanover, NJ December 11, 2011

The Summons

??? Pov

As his vision returned all around him was ruble and fire. Helicopters from the police and news were around him.

His ears ringed, as muffled shouts tried to get his attention. He doesn't remember how he got here.

Suddenly, without warning he opened his mouth, a song was heard by everyone around him.

Then something appeared, it's body made of stars, pure white hair, and two horns made of ice, yet looked like they were crystals. Two emerald green eyes stared down at him.

"Jason," the being said, it's voice sounded both human yet something more

He felt safe

facebook keeps recommending this page called the "Maine Wolf Coalition" to me and like...it is WILLFUL ignorance that keeps these people calling some of the animals they capture on trail cameras as "possible wolves" or "suspected wolves" or "unknown canines".

like 99% of the animals they post are eastern coyotes to a tee.

#dogblr #canine #coyotes #and they ASK FOR MONEY #so they can tag and dna test these animals #animals that are very obviously majority coyote dna #eastern coyotes having some wolf and dog dna does NOT MAKE THEM WOLVES #i also think they grossly exaggerate the size of the canines they capture #the coyotes that live behind my house and sound like coyotes #and walk like coyotes #and are coyotes #look like a majority of the animals captured by the cameras on this page #they are also very anti fish and wildlife service #bc fish and wildlife keeps identifying these animals correctly as coyotes #and that messes with their narrative #reminds me a bit of the people obsessed with finding catamounts in vermont again #they are EXTINCT HERE #they also think that it is a “lie” that coyotes exist in maine bc the coyotes have some wolf dna in them so funny to me

Whenever any of the characters recognize Dracula they repeat the same litany describing his physical characteristics which happens a good few times, and he’s described as having an aquiline nose and I know his appearance is supposed to be scary bc it’s rooted in bigoted Victorian fear of the other but unfortunately for Mr. Stoker the self-love got to me first so now every time one of the characters is like “I knew him immediately… the sharp eyes… the blood-red lips… the aquiline nose” I’m like ✨😍💖🥹🤩💁just like me😍💕💖😘✨👍🥰

BTW if you haven't already please take a minute to look up what venomous snakes are local to you and familiarize yourself with them

#i joined a local snake ID group recently #before that i knew roughly how to spot a pit viper and hownto tell a coral from a scarlet snake #but i didnt really know how to identify specific species other than copperheads #and now im very confident in my ability to tell water snakes from cottonmouths etc #and it gives really nice peace of mind #like. ive seen so many people here in the us south that will freak out of Any snake #my mom once was yelling and crying trying to get help over a kingsnake on the sidewalk cuz she didnt know if it could kill the dogs #and people will kill snakes if they dont know [and often will anyway but knowing helps foster appreciation] #and now i can see a snake and say thats a coachwhip. isnt it pretty. and will gently grab the back end to look at it for just a second more #before letting it go hide #idk. i saw a rattlesnake in the woods today #and its the first time seeing one in the wild like that. and yea it was scary tbh #and i got a pic but booked it out once it noticed me and reacted #but i wish i had stopped and watched it longer cuz it was super pretty #and i know it wouldnt have bothered me at all #im just glad that we've seen two big full sized diamondbacks here in the past few months. and i know theyre two individuals #because eastern diamondbacks are declining and its good to know theres a population here #idk. im getting sentimental over snakes i just love them #but my main point is its so easy to indentify snakes at least where im at #and learning to id them comes with learning to respect them

[befuddled-calico-whump]

me: I want to write a story that has a disgraced royal as the main whumpee. I want him to be morally gray, if not evil, and I want all his subjects to hate him. The setting will be a well-planned, low magic fantasy world, and the whump will be in the form of poetic-justice based punishments carefully chosen by each of the major cities he ruled over

me, writing Cerus instead: look at my cringefail evil overlord

#to be fair! #the first story still exists i just haven't had the inspiration #all the whump is plotted out but i feel like i need more for the story because the POV is from the main caretaker #wanted to do a middle eastern inspired fantasy world and its been pretty fun to try and design #calico is befuddled #cerus had no worldbuilding i just jumped in with pain and i guess thats the trick #thirteen moons

It's a popular take to say ninjago's dragons are based on western counterparts as "violent and brutish beasts." I personally disagree.

Dragons in ninjago are presented first as guardians against evil, and their presence as antagonists lasts maybe 5 minutes, while western dragons are hoarders, greedy and usually associated with the Christian Satan. With exception, they're typically depicted as evil. This is pretty clearly untrue of the versions in Ninjago, which don't play into that trope.

Personally, the dragons in ninjago strike me as a hybrid between eastern and western, with designs taking a bit more from west (though not totally. Hunted had multiple long, serpentine dragons, a trend that more or less continued.) Their heads, for example, look for more "eastern" than "western," especially the original four with the exception of Coles.

#Ninjago #They also really aren't that violent or brutish #Certainly not in the way western dragons are typically depicted. #Anyways this is just a common take on some ninjago is orientalist posts #And I want to be clear that I don't disagree with the main points of those posts. #But I don't think the dragons are as western as is often said. #I'd also guess their role as guardians is a more airquotes eastern thing.
