That'd be because crab rangoons are a made up dish by Americans who love to bastardize every cuisine they come into contact with and make it as unhealthy as possible. Cheers

spoken like someone who has never eaten a crab rangoon!

[critter-catcher]

On this day of freedom, let's talk about how bald eagles are queer!

It starts with a female eagle named Hope and a male named Valor I. The two settled down to neat together, however Valor I wasn't a great dad. He did show up to incubate the eggs and basically never came around.

In comes another male, Valor II. He immediately did what a good eagle dad is supposed to, incubate, maintain the best, all that. This lead to him becoming Hope's new mate.

Here's where it gets interesting, Valor I didn't seem to mind and actually stuck around! Eventually Hope started mating with both of them, and Valor I even learned to be a good dad!

Unfortunately in 2017 Hope was killed by intruding eagles, but! The two male's actually stuck together and successfully raised their chicks!

Soon enough a new female named Starr came along and joined the two, and now she mates with both males every season!

This arrangement allows for the eagles to have a much more successful rate of raising chicks and fighting off other predators!

This particular story isn't the only one! Bald eagles have been seen in multiple arrangements including two females and one male!

The Best News of Last Week

⚡ - Charging Towards a More Electrifying Future

1. The Kissimmee River has been brought back to life—and wildlife is thriving

The Kissimmee River in Florida was straightened in the 1960s, causing a sharp decline in wildlife and ecological problems. But in the 1990s, a $1 billion restoration project was initiated to restore the river's natural state.

Today, nearly half of the river has been restored, wetlands have been reestablished and rehydrated, and wildlife has returned, including rare and threatened species. Already the biological impact of the project has become clear. As the wetlands have come back, so have the birds.

2. Plastic wrap made from seaweed withstands heat and is compostable

A cling film made from an invasive seaweed can withstand high temperatures yet is still easily compostable. The material could eventually become a sustainable choice for food packaging.

Scientists started with a brown seaweed called sargassum. Sargassum contains long, chain-like molecules similar to those that make up conventional plastic, which made it a good raw material. The researchers mixed it with some acids and salts to get a solution full of these molecules, then blended in chemicals that thickened it and made it more flexible and pliable.

3. An Eagle Who Adopted a Rock Becomes a Real Dad to Orphaned Eaglet

Murphy, a bald eagle that had been showing fatherly instincts, has been sharing an enclosure with an eaglet that survived a fall from a tree during a storm in Ste. Genevieve. Murphy, his rock gone by then, took his role as foster parent seriously. He soon began responding to the chick’s peeps, and protecting it.

And when, as a test, the keepers placed two plates of food in front of the birds — one containing food cut into pieces that the chick could eat by itself, and another with a whole fish that only Murphy could handle — the older bird tore up the fish and fed it to the eaglet.

4. World's largest battery maker announces major breakthrough in energy density

In one of the most significant battery breakthroughs in recent years, the world’s largest battery manufacturer CATL has announced a new “condensed” battery with 500 Wh/kg which it says will go into mass production this year.

“The launch of condensed batteries will usher in an era of universal electrification of sea, land and air transportation, open up more possibilities of the development of the industry, and promote the achieving of the global carbon neutrality goals at an earlier date,” the company said in a presentation at Auto Shanghai on Thursday.

This could be huge. Electric jets and cargo ships become very possible at this point.

5. Cat with '100% fatal' feline coronavirus saved by human Covid-19 medicine

A beloved household cat has made an “astonishing” recovery from a usually fatal illness, thanks to a drug made to treat Covid-19 in humans – and a quick-thinking vet.

Anya​, the 7-year-old birman cat, was suffering from feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a “100% fatal” viral infection caused by feline coronavirus. That was, until Auckland vet Dr Habin Choi​ intervened, giving Anya an antiviral used to treat Covid-19 called molnupiravir.

6. Kelp forests capture nearly 5 million tonnes of CO2 annually

Kelp forests provide an estimated value of $500 billion to the world and capture 4.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from seawater each year. Most of kelp’s economic benefits come from creating habitat for fish and by sequestering nitrogen and phosphorus.

7. Medical Marijuana Improved Parkinson’s Disease Symptoms in 87% of Patients

Medical cannabis (MC) has recently garnered interest as a potential treatment for neurologic diseases, including Parkinson's disease (PD). 87% of patients were noted to exhibit an improvement in any PD symptom after starting medical cannabis. Symptoms with the highest incidence of improvement included cramping/dystonia, pain, spasticity, lack of appetite, dyskinesia, and tremor.

[fanficforlife]

Chapter Nine

Even though it was the middle of August, the air was cool. It probably had something to do with the fact that you were sitting on the back porch at four-thirty in the morning. 

"There you are, baby." Kayce sat down on the steps next to you. His arm slid around your back while he kissed your temple. "What are you doing out here?"

You looked ahead of you so he followed your gaze to a bald eagle sitting in a tree. Lee. His hold on you tightened. "I was talking."

"About what?"

"You," a smile pulled at your lips. A comfortable silence settled between you while you watched the bird fly off. "Lee knew I left California to get away from Nick. A few weeks before he died he found me sitting back here. The sun had just started coming up and he asked why I was up so early. I tried to hide it but he knew I was crying. He sat down and made me tell him what was wrong." You took a breath. "I get nightmares sometimes about Nick. Sometimes they're just memories of what he did, other times it's him finding me."

"Baby," the hand that wasn't around your waist reached for your hand, "why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't get them when we sleep in the same bed."

"You should move in with me then."

"Kayc."

"I know. Just me and Tate, for a while at least. Did you have a nightmare tonight?"

"No. I just woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. I didn't want to wake you." Your fingers played with the button on the cuff of his sleeve. "Lee always told me I was safe here." You let out a small giggle. "And, that even though you hadn't asked me out yet, you wouldn't let anyone touch me."

Kayce chuckled. "He was right about that. I wouldn't have let your ex or anyone else near you. I still won't." 

You smiled at him before looking out at the trees. 

"Letty?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you feel safe here?"

"Yes." Your eyes met his hazel brown ones. "You make me feel safe." 

He smiled and ran his hand across your jaw, pulling you in for a kiss. "I love you, Letty."

"I know." You smiled. "I love you too."

"I gotta drive around and check some fences. What do you say we grab some coffee and you come keep me company? And, instead of sleeping in your bed again because Tate wanted to spend the weekend having a sleepover with his grandpa, we could spend the night at my place?" 

"Yes and yes." 

"Tate will be here with Dad so we have the whole day and night to ourselves." His perfect grin formed before he kissed you. "Go get changed. I'll get the coffee." 

"Meet you in the kitchen in five minutes." 

After going inside, you both walked through the living room to the hallway. As you went to walk passed the kitchen to your room, he stopped you. "Baby, are you okay?"

You looked up at him and smiled softly. "You worry about me too much."

"I worry about you just as much as I should be. Now answer the question, beautiful." 

Your hands came up and rested against the sides of his neck, your thumbs running across his stubble-covered jaw. "I'm okay. Just missing your brother."

"Me too."

"He would be so proud of you, Kayce." 

"After kicking my ass for waiting so long to ask you out." 

You giggled. "Yeah, that's probably true." 

"Thank you for being there for me through that and every day since then." 

"You're welcome. But, you don't have to thank me. I wanted to and I needed you just as much as you needed me."

His hand ran across your cheek. "I still need you." 

"Right back at you." You rose to your toes and kissed him before going to change. 

*

You leaned against the fence post watching Kayce while he finished securing a section of barbed wire that he had to replace. 

"There," he straightened up, "that- What?" 

"Nothing."

"Nothin'?" He came up behind you and wrapped his arms around your waist. "What are you thinking about?" 

A smile pulled at the corners of your mouth. "You." You leaned back against him while you both looked out over the pasture to the mountains. 

"Yeah?"

"Mhm." 

"Is that all I'm gonna get?" He chuckled and turned you to face him. 

"I just..." your hands rested on his chest, "I can't believe I'm here with you. You are the most hardworking, caring, understanding man I have ever met." Tears pricked the back of your eyes. "I would go through everything in California again if I knew that it led me here." 

In response, he grabbed your face and kissed you. "I love you more than anything on this earth, Letty. Well, you and the kid." 

"I love you too." You giggled and slid your hands over his shoulders, clasping them behind his neck as your lips met his. When the kiss started to grow heated, you stepped back. "You need to work."

"I just finished the last one." 

"Yeah?"

The smirk that drove you crazy, in the best possible way, formed. "Yeah, now get back here." His hand slid into your hair pulling you in. As the kiss intensified, he picked you up and carried you to the tailgate of his truck. It was already down with tools sitting on it so he pushed them to the side before setting you on it. His eyes met yours and you smiled. 

While you unzipped and shimmied out of your jeans, he unbuckled his belt and pushed it down. "Kayc," you moaned when he slowly thrust into you. 

"Fuck, baby." His fiery eyes met yours. "You're fucking perfect."

Your hips rolled to meet his with every thrust. "Yes," you moaned when one of his hands left your hips and went between you to your clit. "Yes. Yes. Kayce." It didn't take long for heat to start pooling. 

When your orgasm had passed, he took your hands which had been gripping his shoulders and lay you on your back. "I want one more, baby." You nodded as you looked up at him, making the smirk you love form. He put your legs over his shoulders and started pounding into you. 

You could feel a rough section of the tailgate scrape your ass cheek but you didn't care. He had you at the perfect angle and you started to clench around him. "Oh, god. Kayce." 

"Yes, baby. Give me one more." His smirk reappeared. "Come for me, Letty." That put you over the edge and you fell apart. He came seconds later, spilling into you. 

"You good, baby?" He asked as you lay there trying to catch your breath. 

"Mhm," you mumbled with a smile. 

He chuckled and zipped his jeans up before putting your underwear and jeans on you as far as he could get them with you still lying down. 

After carefully getting to your feet, you pulled them up the rest of the way. 

"Hi." Kayce smiled down at you, his hands going to your waist. 

"Hi." Your fingers brushed his hair off his forehead. "That was...wow."

His smirk formed before he kissed you. "I'm gonna have to agree with you on that. Now get your sexy ass out of the way so I can clean up." 

You giggled as he squeezed your sides. "What do you have to do now?" You asked as you leaned against the side of his truck. 

"I gotta go to town to pick up a few things." He informed, closing the tailgate. "Where do you think you're goin'?" His hand wrapped around yours, stopping you from going around to the passenger side. 

"Maybe I don't want to sit beside you." You teased. 

He backed you against the truck and pressed himself against you, keeping you in place. "You don't, huh?" The smirk that drove you crazy formed.

"Don't look at me like that we both know because we both know what comes next." 

"You. Once, sometimes more." 

"Kayce!" You gave him a shove so you could slip free. 

His laugh followed you as you climbed into the truck. "You're cute when you blush." 

"Oh my god." You groaned, burying your face in his shoulder while he buckled his seatbelt. 

"Even cuter when you come."

Your jaw dropped as the red on your cheeks darkened. 

He reached across your lap when you tried sliding across the seat. "I'll stop." 

"Says the guy with the mischievous grin on his face." 

"Get back here." 

You gave in with a smile and settled in next to him. "You're lucky I love you."

"The luckiest." His lips pressed against your temple before he started the truck. 

When you got closer to town, you looked in the rearview mirror and started taming your hair. "You should leave it." 

"It's a mess."

"You have that just had sex look."

"I did just have sex."

"Yes," he squeezed your knee, "but everyone else will see it and know you're mine." 

You giggled, "I'm pretty sure everyone will know that without advertising what we just did. You always hold my hand when we go to town, or have your arm around me, your hand on my back." After smoothing the last tangled strand, you leaned back against the seat. "I'm guessing you don't hold Ryan or Colby's hand when you go to town to pick stuff up." 

"Definitely not." His laugh echoed through the cab. 

A comfortable silence settled between you as you rested your head on his shoulder and thought about how much your life had changed in the last seven and a half months. You escaped from Nick and the nightmare he put you through and ended up meeting a man so good you didn't think could even exist. Going through hell had brought you to the most amazing version of heaven on earth. And, you would endure it all over again so you could end up with the cowboy sitting beside you and his son. 

*

"What are you thinking about?" Kayce asked as he joined you on the porch of the foreman's house. You had made his mom's stew and biscuits for dinner so he offered to put the leftovers away. "You've been kind of quiet since I got back from helping Dad in the barn before dinner. I told you it would just be us today, I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay. It's not that." 

"Then what is it?"

Your fingers picked at the cuff of your sleeve. "When you were with your dad and I was inside with Tate making the biscuits, Tate...he told me he loves me. He's said it before but it's always just been love you. When the biscuits were in the oven we were talking about what he and his grandpa did today. I was leaning back against the counter, when he was done telling me he came over and wrapped his arms around my waist. He looked up at me and he said I love you." Tears started to pool in your eyes while you stared down at the ends of your sleeves. "He told me he was happy I came here because I'm kind of like his mom. Then he rested the side of his face against my stomach and hugged me. He laughed and said I make you happy so you're not as grumpy anymore so I can never leave."

Kayce chuckled, "he's right, you do make me happy." When you continued staring at your hands, he took hold of your chin and lifted it, making you look at him. "Hey, talk to me." Concern was evident in his voice when he saw tears start to trickle from your eyes. "Was it because he thinks you're his mom? I'll tell him not to call you that."

"It wasn't that."

"Nick?"

You nodded as you drew in a shaky breath. "If he finds me he said he would kill whoever helped me."

"Baby, it's been almost eight months since you got away from him. He would have found you by now."

"But, what if he's still looking? What if he does eventually find me?"

"If he does, he's not going to get a chance to kill anyone."

"What if you're all gone and just me and Tate are here? What...Tate-" A small sob cut you off. 

Kayce wiped away your tears. "I know what you're thinking and you're not leaving. Tate loves you, I love you. Hell, everyone on this ranch loves you. You belong here." His fingers tucked your hair behind your ear before going back to try and dry your cheeks. "I'll tell you what. Tate's closet in the main house is five times bigger than it needs to be. Since we spend most of the time there anyway, especially you and him when I'm working, we'll close in part of the closet so he can hide in there. I'll make the door look like part of the wall so no one will know any different. Okay?"

You sniffed. "Okay." 

"Come here." You stood up and he guided you onto his lap so you were straddling him. His hand rested against the side of your neck. "Tate's not the only one who thinks you're kind of like his mom. You are beyond amazing with him. I know we've only been together for three months but I know that God sent you to me. We belong together, Letty."

"Kayce." A smile finally formed before you pressed your lips against his. It didn't take long before you both needed more. He stood up taking you with him and carried you to his bed. 

After setting you on your feet, his hands went to work on your jeans. As he pulled them down, his hand ran across the scrape you got from the tailgate making you flinch. "Did I scratch you?" When you both looked you realized what it was from. "Shit. I should've put a blanket or something down."

"It's not that bad... if you kiss it better it will be as good as new."

"I can't have my baby hurt." He smirked, sinking to his knees and doing what you said. But, he didn't stop there. He kissed his way across your hip before taking off your underwear and jeans and gently pushed you onto the bed. 

"Kayc," you moaned as he buried his face between your legs. 

His hands slid under your thighs and gripped your hips, securing you in place. "You taste so damn good." He groaned before going to work again. 

"Oh, god." After a couple of minutes of just using his tongue, one of his hands left your hip. His fingers dipped inside you while his mouth focused on the bundle of sensitive nerves. Your hands dove into his brown wavy hair. It took only minutes for your stomach to begin to tighten and waves of intense pleasure coursed through you. 

When you came down from your high, Kayce's lips crashed against yours. He ushered you backwards, away from the edge, so he could climb between your legs. You could taste yourself on him as his tongue danced with yours. 

He slowly thrust into you. His hand went to the back of your neck and he lifted you. "You're mine." His eyes pierced yours.

Whenever Nick told you that you were his it would make you feel hopeless and scared. Hearing Kayce tell you that you're his drove home the fact that this is where you were meant to be, with him and his son. "I'm yours." You breathed out, your eyes never leaving his. 

*****

You parked one of the Dutton's work trucks in front of the grocery store as a patrol car was making its way down the street. While you got out, the police car parked behind the truck, blocking you in. 

"Ma'am," one of them greeted as they walked up to you.

"Hi."

"Can I ask why you have the Dutton's truck?"

"I'm umm, getting groceries. I work for them." You swallowed nervously as memories of Nick in his police uniform filled your head. 

"We've never seen you around town before."

"I've been here since the middle of February."

"Uh-huh." They exchanged doubtful looks. Sweat covered your palms. "Can I see your license, please?"

Panic set in. "I-I didn't steal it."

He nodded. "Let me just run your license and we'll get this cleared up."

"You can call John. He'll tell you I work there."

"We will after we check your license. Is it in 

there?" He asked as he stepped forward and dumped the contents of your purse onto the driver's seat. You were frozen in fear. After opening your wallet, he pulled out your driver's license. "Well, Violet Smith from Los Angeles, I'll be right back."

Your heart rate was out of control, you were trembling. The officers could tell you were guilty of something so the other officer stood in front of you, corralling you between the open truck door and driver's seat, while the other went to the car. 

Seconds later, the officer returned from the car. "I think it's time you tell us your real name because it isn't Violet Smith."

"I-I-"

"Cuff her."

"No."

"Put your hands behind your back."

"Please. Just call John. Please!" Tears started falling from your eyes. 

Once the handcuffs were secured, the officer took hold of your arm and put you in the back of the car. People were standing around watching as the other officers locked the truck. After they both got in, they drove to the station. 

*

"No! No!" You pulled against the two officers who had uncuffed you and were trying to take your fingerprints. "Please, don't. Please!"

"What the hell is going on here?" Sheriff Haskell came out of his office. 

"We're trying to take her fingerprints but she's resisting."

"Please, don't. Call John Dutton. He'll tell you I work for him. Please!" You begged with tears streaming down your cheeks. 

The sheriff looked at you for a few seconds. "Put her in one of the cells."

"But, we haven't even started with the paperwork or anything yet."

"I'll take care of it." He took your license off the counter. "Just put her in a cell."

"Just call him, please. I'm not lying!"

The officers took you through a door and your pleas died off. They brought you down the hall, putting you in one of the cells that lined the wall. 

The door shut behind you with a clang, making you flinch. You went to the bench lining one wall, buried your face in your hands and cried. John would have to tell the sheriff who you were. Nick would come get you because he would see it on your file after the sheriff put your information into the computer. You mourned for the life you had here, for the friends you made, for the Duttons, for Tate. And, for Kayce. Nick would do whatever he wanted to you once he brought you back. But, the thought of never seeing Kayce again made your heart hurt so much that it was hard to breathe. Death would be better than having to live without him and his son.

*

"Where is she?!" Kayce's voice echoed down the hall. 

When you heard it, a sob left your lips knowing it was only a matter of days before you would never hear it again. 

"Violet!" As soon as the sheriff unlocked your cell, he flung the door open and ran in. You stood up and his arms wrapped around you, crushing you against him. You clung to his shirt as a fresh wave of tears spilled down your face. "I'm here, Letty. It's okay. You're coming home."

"N-Nick- He-he knows- I can't g-go back." 

"He doesn't know, baby."

You pushed on his chest so you could look up at him. "He will! My name-he-"

"He won't know you're here because your name is Violet Smith." John finished from where he and the sheriff were standing outside the cell. 

"But..." your eyes went to the sheriff.

"I've known John a long time." The sheriff informed. "He filled me in on everything. You're safe here, Violet. And, as far as the two who brought you in, and everyone else working here know, you're hiding from an abusive ex who's a cop, hence the fake ID. That's all they need to know." You looked at him unsure. "Nick and everything about your old life is safe with me. I won't be telling anyone." You gave a small nod of your head and a warm smile formed on his face. "I think it's time to get you out of there and back home." 

"Come on, baby." Kayce kissed your hairline before putting his arm around your waist and guiding you out. 

"I'm sorry, Vi," John said as he squeezed your shoulder. "I should've known it would be a matter of time before one of the knuckleheads working here stopped you."

"It's not your fault."

He smiled. "Let's get outta here."

*

The second you climbed into bed Kayce pulled you into his arms. You burrowed into him as close as you could get. "I was scared." He admitted into your hair after a couple of silent minutes. 

You shifted so you could look up at him. "You were scared? Nothing scares you."

"Losing you scares me." His brown eyes were watery. "The sheriff called Dad while we were working in the barn. All Dad said was it's you and to get in the truck. I think he drove faster than I've ever seen him drive before. If they would have booked you in...I would have been sitting in that cell right next to you." He slid his hand into your hair and rested his forehead against yours. "I can't lose you."

"I can't lose you either." You sniffed, fighting back tears. "I thought I would have to go back."

"Baby, you are never going to lose me. No matter what. And, he is never, ever getting you back. I love you with everything I am, Violet."

"Kayc," tears started trickling over, "I love you too." Your lips met but this one felt different than all of the other ones. This one captured the last lingering thoughts you had of having to leave, of not getting too close. He took them all along with the last brick you had guarding your heart and you gave yourself to him, all of you. This was your home and he was the man you were supposed to be with.

[assassinschaoticcreed]

Can we get some headcannons about the BOYS? (thats what im calling them)

I like it, from here on out they are the boys.

since you didn't specify for what exactly, I chose random things that I have thought of, too many times before.

Altaïr 🦅

• more than once this man has walked into a glass door, and on a few occasions broke said door. he walked away like nothing happened.

• I've said it once and I'll say it again : this man is terrible with technology. like, the only stuff he's good with is old time, back in the day kinda stuff. keyboard? can't use it for shit. typewriter? this guy is like a damn journalist. laptop? the thing is destroyed because he got so mad when he couldn't figure out where the mouse was, even when desmond showed him where it was. old desktop that's built like a t.v.? perfect, everything makes sense now.

• when checking out at stores and the cashiers say "have a good day" on multiple occasions, an embarrassing amount of occasions this man has responded with: "what's so good about it", "thanks.", "you have good days?", "I didn't even want to get out of bed this morning.", "im leaving now"

• due to the last one: this man never uses a credit or debit card. cash only.

• before he broke the pasta noodles in half in front of ezio, he's thought about doing it way too many times. the reason he finally acted on it was because ezio brought up the many fires, explosions, and overall chaos that has happened when he "cooks". Altaïr internally said "fuck you, AND your pasta noodles"

• has set the microwave on fire before, blown out the front of it. cue desmond and arno running into the kitchen frantically putting the fire out, taking out what was inside it. there was a can of green beans. cue des and arno asking him why the hell he put a METAL can in the microwave. "oh you're not supposed to put metal in the microwave?"

• he is NOT a morning person. if you go to wake up this man and he's in a deep sleep, he's waking up swinging. Jacob has been slugged in the face a few times.

• I feel like Altaïr would like to nap in the sun/warm places.

• believe it or not, he was the weird kid that ate dirt.

• as a kid he was gifted an bald eagle as a birthday present from his dad, he was gifted a little yellow parakeet as his birthday present from his mother. he named her sunflower and the eagle apollo. he came back from training one day wanting to spend time with apollo and sunflower. apollo was there but sunflower wasn't, but there were yellow feathers everywhere. his dad told him apollo ate sunflower. Altaïr plucked all of apollos feathers on his head out. "you really are a bald eagle now aren't you, you little shit" vengeance for sunflower was served.

Ezio 🌹

• this man is a 5 star chef when it comes to authentic Italian food. don't ask him to make American food. anything other than Italian food he can't cook.

• after becoming great friends with Arno, ezio too is now a hopeless romantic.

• ezio and arno send each other memes either during conversations or as conversations.

• doesn't hesitate on the intrusive thoughts. just does them.

• has worn both his mother and Claudia's make up before, and he is flawless when putting on eyeliner. he doesn't go all out, he's more of the natural beauty kind of guy.

• this man can take one look at a person and correctly guess their clothing size.

• he and arno like to get together and have gossip sessions with a nice (few) bottles of wine.

• I whole heartedly believe that ezio is an amazing artist. he and leonardo bonded over painting, sketching, drawing etc. and on more than one occasion has joked with Arno with the whole "paint me like one of your French girls" gets a smack to the back of the head everytime.

• loves teasing Altaïr, he's so easy to rile up and ezio gets a laugh out of it. that is until Altaïr breaks pasta noodles in front of him. fists are up and ready to go.

• hates horses cause they have a long face, it makes him uncomfortable.

Arno 🥐

• has punched both edward and Jacob multiple times for pronouncing "croissant" wrong.

• gossip time with ezio is one of his favorite days of the week.

• when having conversations with ezio its either with memes in it, or how the conversation is being had.

• will not hesitate to roast you. loves roasting people, in fact he deep down hopes that someone will piss him off enough to roast them. even though he doesn't really need a reason.

• is very protective over the boys. (this man has trauma, can we blame him)

• an amazing singer. ezio has asked Arno for tips/lessons and once Arno heard him sing he said "can you hear yourself? no? good, cause trust me, you don't want to."

• he's really good at writing: poetry, songs, stories and even plays, but he's self conscious so he'd never try to get them to actually be put out there. ezio and desmond are his #1 hype team.

• I can see him being a great figure skater. don't know why, but I do.

• is a great baker, another 5 star chef when it comes to making authentic (french) food.

• he and Altaïr like to people watch and judge them like Simeon Cowell.

Connor🐺

• this man has a petting zoo of animals, from childhood into adulthood.

• calls animals fur babies, change my mind.

• is another one who is protective over the boys

• believe it or not, he's more in tune with his emotional side like Arno and Ezio.

• loves wearing flannels, not only are they comfy but he likes the way they look.

• wants to build himself a cabin, like the ones you see some youtubers do. chop down the trees, use them to build it and all that jazz.

• wants to have a timber wolf as a pet, it's his dream pet. he truly wants just a wolf, but knows it's not a good idea.

• brought a turkey into the house as a kid, Ziio was not a happy camper. but she didn't want connor to be sad, so she said he could keep it as long as it stayed outside.

• the turkey and Connor were playing outside of their village. it was November. there was a loud bang, Connor turned around and turkey had been shot...and he was shot by none other than Charles Lee. another reason he hates the man so much.

• (for this one we're gonna say Haytham and Ziio stayed together) whenever Charles Lee came over to visit, Connor never liked him. when his parents weren't looking he would do this to Charles Lee; bite, kick, pour salt in his food and drink, make faces etc. Haytham knew, but it also amused Haytham so he said nothing.

Edward🏴‍☠️

• cried while getting his first tattoo, like sobbed.

• Mary on more than one occasion has gotten him (when he's drunk ofc) to cross dress (like she does as james)

• is a huge fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series.

• sings sea shantys when doing things around the house.

• has slept outside many times while drunk. doesn't remember how he got there, when he got there, or why he stayed.

• has wanted to try those swimming like a mermaid trend.

• wants the boys to get a pirate themed tattoo with him.

• he and Jacob like to go out drinking together and watch each other get drunk because of the way they act. unfortunately while doing this since the both of them are drunk neither knows what in God's name is going on, until they wake up outside half naked wondering why they're wearing lipstick.

• has said many times "im never drinking again" yet is holding a cup filled with alcohol.

• has pushed Jacob off the side of the jackdaw when he pissed him off.

Jacob🎩

• being evies worst nightmare is his favorite passtime.

• teases evie for having a crush on 2 of his best friends, she tells him if he ever told them his manhood will be missing when he wakes up.

• woke up on a roof one time after drinking escapades with Edward the night before. Edward was on the roof across from him.

• has worn his shoes on the wrong feet all day long to annoy evie, but also was too lazy to put them on the right feet.

• he tries to trip evie whenever the two of them are going up the stairs. jokes on him he actually trips himself.

• is the king of intrusive thoughts.

• 95% of the time he gives into those intrusive thoughts, that small 5% is evie being able to stop them before they happened.

• got a drunk tattoo with Edward once, it's a tramp stamp.

• he's the one filling Edward's cup whenever Edward says he's never drinking again.

• even though he's a jokester and does stupid stuff, he's honestly one of the most trustworthy people the boys know. "he may be an idiot, but he's our idiot" and evies like "go ahead and have him. I should have killed him in the womb"

Desmond🐶

• was adopted by the Auditores when he left the farm.

• when he first started bartending, he broke over half the glasses they had.

• debated on becoming a therapist about a year into bartending, he sure as hell felt like one. might as well get paid the right money for it.

• he doesn't like to drink alcohol very often due to how he's around it so much while he works, and sees how people act. not a favorite pass time, but he does enjoy having a glass of wine with Arno and Ezio.

• he's really good at playing guitar, he and Arno like to do little karaoke sessions, ezio is there but isn't allowed to sing.

• is good at cooking all types of foods, just don't ask him to bake. he's not good with precision so the sweets always come out messed up. leave that to arno.

• wants to get more tattoos, and has tried talking the boys into getting the brotherhood/creed insignia tattooed.

• I see desmond as a piercings kind of guy. what they are, who knows.

• Desmond is the golden retriever friend, everyone loves him.

• Desmond is the epitome of "I didn't want to wake up today, im tired you're lucky I dragged my corpse out of bed today"

My dad is super conservative and American, so he refuses to feed my dog anything not made in the U.S and it's genuinely so funny to me. Like what does he think is going to happen? Is he afraid that by feeding her treats made in China she will become a communist??? Does he think that by feeding her enough American sourced food she will turn her into a fucking Bald Eagle?? So many questions.

hi hello there’s this app on my phone that’s meant for notes taking and you can draw on it. i started by drawing a very ugly pony Benrey (not shown) and now i’m on my way to draw them all as mlp

(from left fo right, top to bottom: Tommy (bat pony), Benrey (changeling in pony disguise), reformed/post RC AU Benrey, Bubby (kirin), Forzen (griffon), Darnold (hyppogriff)

more under

Tommy was first a normal alicorn but i made him a bat pony after i made his dad be one

(G-man’s/G-horse’s????? cutie mark is so silly lol i might remake him)

Benrey’s reformed form’s accent colors are indicative of their emotions, it works like Sweet Voice. their tail is a scorpion’s tail inspired from HLVRAI Y2K

some notes :

- Darnold wears his little magic transformation necklace thingie that hyppogriff’s have as a brooch on his tie.

- Benrey’s (under disguise) race and cutimark change throughout the series and the only one to notice said changes is Gordon.

- Forzen is a peregrine falcon because it’s the second most common bird of prey in Canada (after the bald eagle which i specifically did not want to make him as, because Gilda from the original mlp series already exists and it felt too on the nose with the whole US military thing).

i might draw the rest someday! Dr. Coomer is an earth pony and Gordon is a unicorn.

#fuck this is cringe but hiiiiiii #they’re badly drawn because i drew them on a phone screen with my finger #hlvrai #mlp au #my art #< i guess #category 5 autism event

I’m a huge fan of daemon/spirit animal/animal shifter form AUs and I can be convinced Iceman’s animal is just about anything with enough conviction or headcanons, so I decided to put together a poll for outside input.

I also put together some pictures of the animals with some of my thoughts I would love for you to read below the poll! If you have one not listed, please comment!!! I’d love to read your thoughts.

Snow Leopard

super majestic and regal like just look at him

cold weather king, has snow in the name like fr

def just watches quietly from a distance before making a move (thinking of that bar scene where he’s watching from a corner)

patient, but also looks polite

super intense gaze, judging you so hard rn

Arctic Wolf

cold weather, has arctic in the name

looks like they’ve got lots of wisdom

super smart for sure

never leaves a wingwolf behind

would def snap his teeth at you

Golden Eagle

big bird (6ft+ wingspan)

suuuuuper fast like one of the fasted birds

in a daemon au he would totally rock being in a navy portrait

cold weather cause ice, maybe partial source of callsign (goes for all cold weather animals tbh)

super serious super intense like just look at him and his laser focus

patiently waits before swooping in for a kill

there’s a lot of variation among the species and it’s 6 subspecies, so it could be super dark like the picture below

Leucistic Golden Eagle

Golden Eagle but ✨special✨

ice(man) cause of white feathers

feathers on leucistic birds aren’t as strong, but he’d be sure to prove to you he’s not weak

his dad would totally hate it, think he’s weak, defective, etc.

Leucistic Bald Eagle

birds fly

cold weather

normal bald eagle would be too on the nose, too cheesy maybe imo

ice(man) callsign partially cause of white feathers, mostly because of the way he flies of course

higher ups def love the bald eagle, very patriotic which is good publicity for him, maybe why he got promoted so fast

pretty similar to the golden eagle in terms of skill

feathers on leucistic birds aren’t as strong, but he’d be sure to prove to you he’s not weak

dad would probably definitely hate it, think he’s weak, defective, etc. but also maybe jealous because he had to work to get his place in America whereas his son just gets a bald eagle and is suddenly 100% american

Harpy Eagle

birds fly

big bird (6.5ft+ wingspan)

looks cold af

like looks like he could kill you and could definitely kill you

great flight agility

head feathers kinda wild, could kinda mimick his frosty tips but reversed

Leucistic Harpy Eagle

Harpy Eagle but cool as ice like I’m digging the colors

i really dig the colors on this boy

Snowy Owl

birds fly

cold weather, had snow in the name

observes quietly from the rafters

patient for sure

silent flight is a plus, swoop in when they’re not expecting it

Eurasian Lynx

native to Russia

cold weather

lynx are pretty standoffish so it’s kind of a vibe

thought I’d shake things up by throwing it in the mix

Amur Leopard

native to Russia

cold weather

observe from a distance (kind of a common thread but that bar scene like come on it fits)

idk it’s very cool and needs more awareness cause it’s going extinct

#the leucistic bald eagle wasn’t my fav but then it starting growing on me a little? #leucistic bald eagle or leucistic golden eagle if I had to pick a bird #otherwise snow leopard for sure for me #sorry about the rabbit in the harpy eagle pic #top gun #iceman #top gun iceman #top gun maverick #top gun: maverick #icemav #pete mitchell #pete maverick mitchell #tom kazansky #tom iceman kazansky #I love animals #and planes

A trio of Bald Eagles, 2 Dads and 1 Mom have been living together and successfully raising offspring for multiple years.

[otrtbs]

as a citizen of the USA, how would the characters from ahb! celebrate Fourth of July?

ahh okay!! this is actually so fun since im not actually in the usa for the fourth tomorrow (this is assuming that all ahb! characters are together and in the states and american or wanting to celebrate for the vibes aksjhg)

james is demanding that they all have a bbq. he's inviting everyone and in the most dad way possible he's 'firing up the grill' and making the burgers, the hotdogs, all of that (and he buys the most obnoxious apron to wear with george washington's face on it or a giant bald eagle that says 'bbq for freedom' or something like that lmfaoo)

barty and evan have actually spent the last 6 months collecting the most insane and definitely illegal fireworks to set off when they sun goes down and they get very excited at showing everyone their arsenal they've collected and they work all day to plan their firework show (they also set off so many roman candles and shoot them at each other)

marlene and lily get a boat and they take it out on the lake (marlene won't stop quoting that kodak black video that's like 'lemme drive the boat' but peter is the boat captain and he will NOT be letting her drive) they go tubing and peter is evil and makes it his mission in life to throw them off hahaha

remus is the kitchen and he's teaching sirius how to make the best lemonade and sweet tea anyone will ever drink because he has a recipe™️ and he's perfected it and he doesn't trust anyone else to make those drinks and sirius is doing his best to listen but really he's more interested in curating his 4th of july playlist with all the best super cheesy music for the day (yes american girl by tom petty and also party in the u.s.a by miley cyrus those vibes)

dorcas and mary are in charge of the red white and blue jello shots (what i would give for some of those tomorrow is insane) and they make them wayyyy too strong and they make way too many but it's fine

(and later mary sets up a little table to do face painting and temporary tattoos (obs all american themed) like they do for kids at a carnival) and barty is COVERED in bald eagles and american flags and stars asakgh

and regulus is in charge of making sure nobody dies (like james doesn't light anything on fire or barty and evan for that matter and there are no explosions and that the boat doesn't crash etc etc) BUT he also HE ALSO goes to old navy and gets everyone a MATCHING FOURTH OF JULY FAMILY SHIRT YK THE ONES????? BC JAMES PRACTICALLY BEGS and who is regulus to say no???

#asks #art heist baby! #okay this is so USA of me lmfaoo #but so so so fun #not me listening to a fourth of july spotify playlist now bc of this ask oh lord

[addie-henderson]

i see so many hcs about percy x hades!gf but that made me curious about how percy would be with a zeus!gf and i wanna know your thoughts so bad

oh it's comical.

so probably starts as complete ENEMIES

i mean mostly on his side: he's competitive angry, and mean and nobody even knows why. like he wasn't even this bad with Thalia or Jason.

then one day it gives me something like "you know you're actually SO... dumb!" and you just shrug and say "ok."

"ok?" he's confused like CONFUSED.

"ok. if you want to pull my pigtails like a little boy on the playground... do that. I don't care."

he's like oh shit is that what I've been doing???? it is

and eventually you guys get together.

I don't see Percy as one of those guys into the "daddy" thing but.... special circumstances.

he really enjoys getting on Zeus's nerves.

but I feel like he would be very deliberate and upfront about letting you know that your relationship has nothing to do with who your father is. it's not some kind of fuck you to Zeus. he likes you.

but that said Zeus disapproving is a bonus.

brings you random bird feathers??? because you fly

calls you birdie because you fly

takes you swimming and holds on because... yk his dad might... yk drown you.

the best power based sparring partner

if you aren't from New York, bullying teasing him about his accent riles him up. he gets huffy and pissy and wants you to apologize with kisses and telling him you love his voice

weird picnic potluck dates. where you two get food from two different places and meet up and have a weird combo meal

him complaining that sometimes when you sleep he can't cuddle you because you lose control of your powers and float

also him complaining that you steal the blankets because you float

once he introduced you to a stranger as his cousin as a joke, that stranger later saw you kissing and was very concerned.

the whole relationship is really just the two of you vibing and bullying each other mostly 😭

"love you, Fish breath"

"I'm in love with you too, bald eagle."

"😮I AM NOT BALD, PERSEUS. TELL ME I'M A PRETTY SPARROW RIGHT NOW. "

"okay okay you're pretty Sparrow, I'm sorry birdie"

TELL US ABOUT THE BIRD OF THE WEEK PLEASE

i had so many weird birds i wanted to talk about today (there are birds that fully look like small dragons and birds who can make their WINGS whistle as part of their mating rituals and some birds who are just. so smelly that they're literally called stinkbirds BUT THIS IS BECAUSE they don't have stomachs, they have a Food Storage Pouches where their food sits and ferments and takes like 50 hours to digest. god nature is amazing) but... story parallels

so today i am talking about kestrels. or 1 kestrel singular because i actually don't know anything about kestrels (sorry) other than what i learned in this kestrel video that changed my life that everyone else should also watch if you haven't already and I'm going to talk about that video

(kestrels are either the smallest or one of the smallest in the falcon family. they're just small carnivorous guys. imagine a small falcon with cool spots)

so there's this story about this kestrel family that went viral a year. Or multiple years idk ago and it was about a kestrel nest with a mother and father!! until one day mysteriously the mother disappeared and the father was left to raise his chicks alone.

a kestrel dad's job is just to hunt stuff and take it back to the nest and then let the mum tear it up into small enough pieces to feed the chicks, and often what happens if the mum ditches the nest the chicks just. get surrounded by food too big for them to eat and they starve 💔

it looked like things were going to go the same way in this story too. mr kes kept calling for his mate who never answered and the poor chicks (only like a few days old or something) got nothing to eat. the guy documenting this had to step in and help so they wouldn't die but then at some point mr kes got into the nest and sat on his chicks

male kestrels Do not brood their chicks after they've been hatched so this is huge and was so amazing to see??!!!!!!! he did eventually give up i'm pretty sure but uh. HEY. HE TRIED. and after a couple more days or something he finally learned that he needs to Tear the food up into small enough pieces first. and so he raised them (with help from the guy documenting but hey) until the chicks were old enough to leave the nest ))): Mr Kes you're my bird of the week. My bird of the month and of the century

Whenever i hear stories of birds that step up as fathers that gets me. there was this bald eagle named murphy who lived in a bird sanctuary and created a nest for a rock and incubated it 💔💔💔 AND THEY GAVE HIM HIS OWN EAGLET. MURPHY HAD A FOSTER SON (they have since released his son back into the wild which does hurt me a little bit but it's for the best & i'm sure murphy will have more children in the future)

i love birds so mjch

#answered asks #anon #not if related #i don't even have to make fun creatures up for this fantasy world #the animals we already have are SO AWESOME

Bald Eagle!

I've had very few park adventures lately, but on Friday we went to the Wildlife Management Area and saw a bald eagle!

Not a great photo; that's the best my phone can do with a small object a long distance away.

I've been missing all of the best hiking weather, due to my surgery, so it was great to get out. I'm still not 100%, but the Wildlife Management Area has a short, easy trail that goes to a prime bird-watching spot on the lake--perfect for my stage of convalescence. (It's actually their ADA-accessible trail; I've been appreciating a lot of accessibility features during this whole experience.)

I'm still not supposed to walk Sophie myself--having a large dog pull on a leash you're holding is in the same category as lifting heavy objects, when you've just had abdominal surgery, and I have at least another week of those restrictions--but my dad came over to help. Fortunately, we have the fenced-in yard now that I'm back at my own house, so it isn't too hard on her.
