[Start ID. A drawing of two scavengers from Rain World, one labelled Sanic and the other one Shrek. Sanic's fur is light brown, with darker extremities, a messy row of pale green spines down its back, and bright blue eyes. They sit contentedly, staring at the screen, with a couple grenades by its feet. Shrek has pale fur, a green head, hands, and feet, and brown eyes. It's facing to the right, with their arms splayed out and an explosive spear on their back. Beside each scavenger are a few woefully-compressed screencaps of their in-game appearance. End ID]

An ode to these silly beasts, who accompanied me on my second visits to Industrial and Chimney

#peridots-art #rain world #scavenger rain world #...usually only draw set characters of games and not. creatures. so that's new for me #absolutely love specbioing these guys though!! buggifying them scratches the right itch in my brain especially when they could reasonably #be buggy in canon!!#bugs #clarification on the ''shrek is maybe two guys'' thing ahead. first we'll argue for One Guy #1. both found in the same region at the same time 2. remarkably similar coloring and mannerisms (seemed to be the pack leader)#and now evidence supporting the two different guys theory:#1. travelled with a different pack of scavengers the second time vs when i found it 2. second time had slightly duller colors and noticably #longer horns (without the little gradient at the end)#so now you see why i didn't notice anything wrong until after reviewing the screenshots. BUT!!! secret third option!!!#the first one with the short horns was found first when i was using the entrance-to-industrial shelter #and the one i mostly relied on for reference was near the higher shelter. shrek numero dos. the canon shrek.#but i have a screenshot of shrek 1 in the place shrek 2 was found. hanging out with one of shrek 2's pack members no less.#conclusion: ???#ok now that that's ''settled''. don't let this all distract you from the fact that the simple act of SWITCHING TO THE SHADING LAYER #got me out of a four-month-long mental rut. i can't say that it was depression nor that i know anything about depression in the first place #but even if it wasn't very serious? it Sucked. even if it was just a nagging thought at the back of my mind my life was duller somehow #i started to feel a little unmotivated. lonely. anxious. like the days blend together. the things i liked weren't bringing as much joy #and all of that got worse recently. the main reason i haven't posted any art for like a month? art stopped being fun.#which is a TERRIBLE thing for someone like me who loves to draw so so much. so when everything that's been building up over the past months #just vanished completely? without warning? you better believe i teared up over a doodle of a scavenger for making me feel right again.#i'm overjoyed to be free of it. i'm hopeful again! i love myself again! i can fall in love with the world all over again!!!#i have no idea how this happened. but i have motivation and determination and i feel like i can change my life for the better now. if i try #maybe this was my normal but it's the striking opposite of what I've been feeling--i'm finally proud of my accomplishments! and of myself!!#which was something i couldn't say in earnest even before december.#and reader? i call you tag-wanderer for i have no way of knowing who you are. maybe a treasured mutual or maybe a stranger. but i love you.#and i hope you make your way out.

At sunset, Nashville's rooftop bars reveal a gleaming new skyline that is primarily made up of hotels.

Nashville Yards is a brand-new mega-development that is anchored by the 25-floor Grand Hyatt, a 21-story Luxury Collection hotel dubbed The Joseph, an 810,000 square foot, 33-story JW Marriott with 533 rooms, and the Thompson, which casts shadows over the low-rise Gulch neighbourhood. All have been newly built, most since 2020. The Graduate Hotel, which is close to renowned hot-chicken eatery Hattie B's and brims with Southern charm, or the megawatt Soho House are examples of smaller launches with outsized personalities that are not included in the list.

The development of the W, a mirrored tower with 346 hotel rooms that are partially cantilevered over a 26,000-square-foot retail complex, cost $191 million, which is a testament to how quickly things are changing. In October 2021, only five months after it first opened, it was sold to new owners for $328.7 million, or $950,000 per room.

Almost every luxury brand is descending: Nashville is anticipating an inflow of five-star hotel brands over the next three years, including 1Hotel, Edition, Conrad, and Ritz-Carlton, as well as a complete renovation of the city's historic landmark, The Hermitage, which first opened in 1910. The Four Seasons, which is expected to debut in a 40-storey tower with 235 hotel rooms and 144 homes with access to a seventh-floor pool deck that seems like it could have been plucked from Beverly Hills, will likely be the most opulent.

Dean Stratouly, president and chief executive officer of hospitality investment business Congress Group and a co-developer of the Four Seasons, compares Nashville's economic future to that of Austin. He adds, "We first started looking in Nashville around 2016 and I was astounded by what was percolating," citing the city's hospitable tax-base structure, a state government that is aggressive in luring industries, and quickly expanding infrastructure. These are some of the same factors that led major firms, like Amazon and Oracle, to relocate their headquarters and construct sizable offices here recently, helping to spark a wave of urban white-collar worker migration from both coasts.

But on top of all that, there are really uncommon draw cards for investors in the hospitality industry. Notably, practically every significant US city, including Los Angeles and New York, is within a four-hour flight of Nashville. According to data from hotel industry researchers STR, Nashville has routinely seen increases in both occupancy rates and average daily prices that have helped boost statistics countrywide. Nashville has been one of the five best-performing metropolitan markets during the pandemic.

While bachelorette parties contribute significantly to the city's reputation as a tourist destination, they only account for 1 per cent of tourism-related revenues; corporate travel, which typically generates steady business, accounts for 40 per cent of these, giving the city longevity with a broad range of visitors. Despite the ongoing uncertainty surrounding meetings and conventions, Nashville expects to welcome more tourists in 2022 than it did in 2019. This is even with the record number of travellers passing through Tennessee to reach the Great Smoky Mountains.

According to Butch Spyridon, president and chief executive officer of the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation, "Nashville's [Davidson County] annual hotel revenue in 2022 is projected to be 187 percent higher than it was 10 years ago." Spyridon believes there are currently no indications that the growth is slowing.

According to Spyridon, Nashville's development began in 2004 when the city changed its moniker from Music City USA to Music City and began to forge a distinct identity that wasn't just based on Americana and country music.

However, the campaign's focus went beyond a simple name. Nashville has subsequently held events, including the NHL All-Star Game and the 2019 NFL Draft, thanks to the $623 million it set aside for the building of Music City Center, a 2.1 million square foot convention centre that opened in 2013.

The city's rapidly expanding supply of hotel rooms has been filled as a result of the continual inflow of tourists attracted by such events. "We had 4,200 new hotel rooms open during the pandemic, and another 3,100 are under construction to further strengthen our market," said Spyridon. Nearly all hotels were completely booked for the return of the Country Music Awards in early June. "We've been on a 12-year roll of positive momentum."

Of fact, not all indicators reveal the same picture; despite an increase in room counts during the pandemic, the city and every other travel destination experienced reductions in 2020. Even still, Nashville and Tennessee's statistics weren't as bad as they were in other regions of the nation.

And Nashville has experienced the opposite, as opposed to other markets, when the inclusion of additional inventory results in a decline in rates. "In the first four months of 2022, Nashville city hotel revenue was up by 10.5% compared to the same time in 2019," says Spyridon. Despite the fact that business travel has not yet fully recovered, according to forecasts for the entire year 2022, Nashville "will sell 900,000 more rooms than in 2019, delivering a 20 percent increase in hotel revenues."

The majority of Nashville's high-rise construction was previously concentrated within a one-mile radius of the city centre. Soho House, which debuted in February in the historically warehouse-heavy Wedgewood Houston neighbourhood, five minutes south of downtown and on the other side of I-40, is one of the recent boundary-pushers. Despite the neighborhood's continued industrial aesthetic, it has been welcomed by neighbourhood businesses, including hip coffee shops, art galleries, and vintage shops, as well as a sizable Live Nation presence, which has attracted a full-time, skilled labour.

One of those who recognised Wedgewood's potential before it was hip was Ben Weprin, who owns more than $1.3 billion in real estate in Nashville, including the aforementioned location of his own rapidly expanding brand, Graduate Hotels. In 2015, he purchased the May Hosier Sock Factory building and quickly notified his friend and Soho House CEO Nick Jones about it. Jones believed Nashville had potential in 2014, but it was too early in the city's development for him to make a decision. Recently, it was simple to sell.

The 47 hotel rooms, a Cecconi's restaurant, two stages for live performances, and a 74-foot-long outdoor pool are now all part of the 97,000-square-foot, four-storey Soho House. The atmosphere is laid-back but chic; even during the workday, it's crowded with individuals eating lunch and relaxing with laptops.

A new hotel called Southall will debut this fall in Franklin, 25 minutes south of the city, with 62 rooms and 16 cottages situated on a working farm. It will be a more accessible, more affordable alternative to the always booked-out Blackberry Farm, which is three hours east.

“With Nashville booming nearby, I saw an opportunity,” says Southall’s owner, Paul Mishkin. “We initially toyed with the idea of a B&B, but as we talked to more and more people who lived in the area for years, we were strongly encouraged to go bigger—and that we did!” he says.

Like Southall, the majority of Nashville's newest luxury hotels are promoting the city's upscale dining scene rather than its history as a country music mecca. Sean Brock, the winner of the James Beard Award, has a restaurant at the Grand Hyatt, while Tony Mantuano, formerly of Chicago's renowned Spiaggia, relocated permanently to Music City to manage the ambitious, pasta-focused Yolan at the Joseph.

Luxury companies follow where boldface chefs succeed: Even Kering has stated that it is considering expanding in Nashville, particularly for its Gucci and Balenciaga boutiques.

Nashville is now much more than just Music City, which begs the question of how much luxury Tennessee's capital can sustain before losing its distinct personality. Nashville lost 11,000 citizens in 2021 after a decade of continuous expansion, according to figures from the US Census Bureau, signalling that the extraordinary population boom sustained in 2020 has already peaked.

However, the city is not only interested in Americans who can work from anyplace. It unveiled a six-year, $1.4 billion airport improvement plan in early June, concentrating on the infrastructure required to attract more transatlantic and long-haul flights. In other words, Music City is already planning its next performance—on a bigger stage around the world.

Lufthansa staff strike again, hundreds of flights cancelled

Ground handling staff of Germany’s largest airline Lufthansa have launched another warning strike at several German airports.

At Frankfurt airport, the country’s busiest international hub, more than 600 departing and arriving Lufthansa flights were cancelled, state broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk reported.

The strike began at 4:00 a.m. local time (0300GMT) and was due to continue until 7:10 a.m. (0610GMT) Wednesday at seven airports, affecting more than 100,000 passengers.

About 400 scheduled flights to Munich airport were also cancelled. Passengers were advised to check the current status of their flight before travelling to the airport.

The airline notes that passengers whose flight is cancelled due to the strike will be able to rebook their ticket for another date free of charge via the airline’s website or app, while those customers whose flight was scheduled within Germany will be given a voucher via Lufthansa’s website for rail travel.

Lufthansa ground staff at airports in Berlin, Cologne-Bonn, Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Stuttgart have also joined the strike, according to the Verdi union. This is the second mass strike since the beginning of the year.
