HEY WHERE'S THE PSYCHOSEXUAL MECH EPHEMERA PLEASE? 🥺
HI SORRY I’VE BEEN BUSY
But I’ve been percolating on special-purpose mechs. Not regular combat cavalry, but frames designed for one particular usecase — napalm-equipped pyros to vaporize vast swathes of foliage on a jungle campaign, icebreakers that shatter glacier sheets on Europa. But they aren’t general purpose - when their job is done, they don’t get recycled back into the regular corps. They get separated from their fellows, sent to the vast CAVSTOR facilities — pilots still inside. They’re put away like tools, waiting for a job to require them again, slowly realizing it’ll probably never come. Pilots sitting around in quiet hangars, skills rusting, brains frying from engaging in contraband hallucinogens and empty, enhanced sex with fellow inmates. Most of them have been here for years, even decades. Command is loathe to let go of a valuable asset. Smarter to just put them on a shelf and watch them waste away into nothing.

Photo
Oculis Lodge, Glacier, Washington's Cascade Mountains, United States,
Oculus means “eye” in Latin. And in architecture, it refers to a window or shape that has an opening of an oval or circular shape. For the Oculis Lodge, that means a striking 15-foot slylight at the top of every unit, which drenches the space in light during the day and offers prime stargazing at night.
The name also calls attention the eco-conscious structure of the dome-shaped cabins. Each build has a rock-solid airform structure that requires 50 percent less energy to heat and cool than conventional structures. Only recycled concrete, reclaimed wood and recycled materials were used to build the pods.

Happy (Belated) Birthday, Evette!
I took Evette to our local zoo as a belated birthday trip! 🎂 (We were originally going to go on her actual birthday, but I wasn't feeling great.) We saw tons of beautiful and interesting animals (these pictures only show a few of them)...
I think her outfit kind of matches the flamingos! 🦩
Admiring the lions. 🦁 It was cool they were out in plain view (they often like to nap away from visitors).
I think the Red Pandas were my favorite — they're just SO FLUFFY! 😍
Checking out the rhino. 🦏 We were lucky, all the animals were so active!
(I know the focus is off in this one, but it was anxiety-inducing to take this photo with her so close to the koi pond, and I didn't want to push my luck 😅)
We stopped for food at the Glacier Grille, a restaurant inside the zoo where you can see the polar bears 🐻❄️ right next to your table through a huge wall of reinforced glass!
Yum! 😋
Present time! 🎁 (It's wrapped plainly because I figured she'd want easily recycled wrapping paper)
She’s excited to model her new outfit soon! 🍊
After the zoo, I went straight to Measure for Measure rehearsal, so Evette tagged along and made some new friends among my fellow actors! 🎭 It was a really fun day.

10 Fun Facts About Sustainability and Climate Change
10 Fun Facts About Sustainability and Climate Change
Did you know that...
The average American produces about 4.4 pounds of trash per day?That's a lot of waste! By recycling and composting, we can reduce the amount of trash that ends up in landfills and incinerators.
The United States is the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world? China is the largest emitter. We can all do our part to reduce our carbon footprint by making small changes in our daily lives, such as driving less, using less energy, and eating less meat.
The world's forests are disappearing at an alarming rate?Every year, we lose about 12 million acres of forest. Forests are important for many reasons, including absorbing carbon dioxide, providing habitat for wildlife, and regulating the climate.
Overfishing is a major problem?Overfishing is when we catch more fish than the population can sustain. This can lead to the collapse of fish populations and the loss of biodiversity.
Water pollution is a serious issue? Water pollution can come from a variety of sources, such as agricultural runoff, industrial waste, and sewage. It can cause a variety of health problems, including gastrointestinal illness, reproductive problems, and cancer.
Climate change is a real and serious threat? Climate change is caused by the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, which is causing the Earth's temperature to rise. Climate change is already having a negative impact on the planet, such as more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and melting glaciers.
We can all make a difference in the fight against climate change? Even small changes can make a big difference. By making small changes in our daily lives, we can help to reduce our carbon footprint and fight climate change.
There are many things we can do to live more sustainably? We can recycle and compost, drive less, use less energy, eat less meat, and support sustainable businesses. By making small changes in our daily lives, we can make a big difference for the planet.
We all have a role to play in protecting our planet. By learning about sustainability and climate change, we can make informed choices that will help to create a more sustainable future.

The Mesas of Deuteronilus Mensae (20/?)
SOL 35
Scully stood on the edge of the plain, the land before her laid out like a board game from her youth. The great mesas of the region were like red gumdrops dotted on a graham cracker valley, the sky above them caramel with ropes of wispy cotton candy clouds. It was, she mused, the ultimate grownup Candyland.
Were she giving a paper on the region to fellow scientists, she would say that the scene of Deuteronilus Mensae depicts different stages of highland degradation. That numerous flow patterns in wide valleys and along ridges and scarps indicate movement of debris mixed with ice towards the surrounding areas. How the deeply incised valleys are clearly identifiable in the northern part of the area, and that it is believed that these valleys may have originated due to intense flooding by melted water ice, and how the water then froze rather quickly, flowing down the slopes of the depression like a glacier. Aeolian sediments tracing the flow pattern on the surface.
Were she talking to middle school students, she’d tell them that landforms in the region look a lot like formations on Earth that are associated with buried glacial ice.
Standing in front of one such formation now, she tells herself only that below the surface of the land she stands on is the thing that will keep her and her fellow colonists alive for the next several years. The most important thing: water. And all they have to do to get it, is dig.
The site for the first Mars colony was an easy selection as far as these things go. The region of Deuteronilus Mensae not only sat on a vast untapped reservoir of frozen water, but was also a place where crucial science would be done. The site was close to samples of crust that date back to the earliest epoch on Mars, more than four billion years ago. Collecting and analyzing those samples could help in piecing together what the surface was like early in the planet’s history. The deposits range in age from several hundred million years old to only a few million. These could provide scientists with the record of relatively recent climate shifts and atmospheric conditions on Mars necessary to predict how the planet might evolve moving forward. In short, the site provided NASA with both science and survivability—the coin of the realm.
Before her, Hramic and Shaw were setting up the big drill with Robo 3’s assistance. Hramic, their resident geologist, had been working with colleagues back on Earth to select the site for drilling, and after weeks of back-and-forth with Hramic’s eyes on the ground, they had finally, finally settled on a location. The “well” as they called it, would be drilled into the frozen water underneath the planet’s surface. They had a complicated apparatus that would melt the water underground and then pipe it up to a small treatment shed where the water would be put through its paces, reverse osmosis and the like, before being pumped into the HAB for use by the colonists. They had brought a large amount of water from Earth to use until such a time as they were able to set up the Martian well, and that water and the closed-loop system that recycled it would be kept in a separate cistern close to the HAB for use in case of emergency.
Shaw, in his yellow-striped suit, stood up from where he and Hramic were working, and gave a thumbs up in her direction. His excitement was palpable even from inside the suit. Scully looked over at Elmer, who was manning the engine that would run the system which was set up about two hundred yards from the HAB for safety’s sake, and Shaw, who was overseeing the connection points. They were both poised for action, eager to get the drill up and running.
“That’s it,” Scully heard Hramic say over the comm as the woman stood. The lime green stripes of her suit caught even the dull sunlight of Mars and flashed. “Drill is in place. We are a go to commence.”
“Go from here, Lieutenant,” said Powers.
“We are a go for drilling,” came Elmer’s rich baritone. “Initiating system. Hramic and Shaw, please fall back to the observation point, and I’ll get this puppy fired up.” Once Elmer turned on the engine, it could be controlled from Base Base.
Shaw and Hramic made their way over to where Scully was standing. Her job today was to serve as general backup, and she smiled at her two colleagues as they approached, though everyone had their helmet shields down.
Once they were at a safe distance, Elmer’s voice came through the comm. “I’m about to flip the switch, Powers, gird your loins.”
“Consider them girded, Lieutenant,” said Powers, and Scully watched as Powers brought both of his gloved hands in front of his crotch. She laughed, the high lilt echoing off the inside of her helmet.
“Engaging drill engine,” Elmer said, and everyone seemed poised for she wasn’t sure what—movement or the sound of a machine powering up, maybe—but of course there was nothing to hear with little atmosphere and the thick protection of the suits.
“How are you reading HAB?” Elmer went on.
“Engine is running. All systems nominal,” said Dutton, from Base Base.
There was a round of general cheering.
“Okay,” said Elmer once the comms were clear. Scully watched as he clapped once and rubbed his gloved hands together. “Our work here is done. Powers and I will monitor the progress out here. Scully, feel free to get back to the HAB for your next duty. Hramic and Shaw, I assume you two will want to get to the treatment shed and start testing water samples.”
“Fuck YES we will!” said Hramic, and the comm echoed with the sound of everyone’s laughter.
Xx
There was a knock on Mulder’s door just after lunch. He assumed it was Scully, back from the drilling operation that they’d begun that day, and was casually sitting on his bunk when he looked up to see Commander Ehrlich standing uncertainly in his doorway.
“Commander!” he said, standing up.
“I’m sorry to bother you during R&R,” she said.
Mulder waved a dismissive hand. “Don’t worry about it,” he said. “Come on in.”
The Commander made her way into his room with short hesitant steps, and Mulder lowered himself back down onto the bed slowly, trying to give her some time. Finally she sat down in the only other chair in his quarters, in front of his desk.
He let the silence stretch out in front of them, paying no attention to its awkwardness. Ehrlich had come to him, and she’d say her piece when she was good and ready.
“I’ve um,” she began, “been wanting to come to you for a while, but wasn’t sure if I should. Everyone seems to be in good spirits—morale seems high, and I…” She trailed off, and Mulder got a goosebump kind of feeling that what the Commander wanted to talk about was his relationship with Scully. It was hard enough when Scully had put a stop to it, but now that she was in just as deep as he was, he didn’t think he could bear it if orders came down from on high telling them to end it. In the short amount of time they’d been together, he had fallen soul-crushingly, irreversibly in love, and he suspected that maybe Scully had as well. It was one of the few things they didn’t talk about. He wasn’t quite sure why that was.
The Commander stood suddenly. “Ugh,” she said, digging the heels of her hands into her eye sockets. “I don’t want to do this.”
Mulder didn’t want her to, either.
“Commander, if this is about me and Scully, I just want to—”
Ehrlich’s arms fell to her sides and a look of confusion crossed her face. “What?”
Mulder cocked his head to the side, equally lost. “This isn’t—”
“Oh! No. That’s…” Ehrlich’s posture finally relaxed and she chuffed a small laugh. “You two are… That’s all fine. Inevitable, really. Personally, I’m happy for you both.” Mulder felt such a profound sense of relief that he almost missed what she said next: “I should have been more clear when I arrived. I’m not coming to you as your commanding officer, I’m coming to you as a patient.”
Oh, he thought, and immediately put his self-absorption aside. He sat up straighter.
“My apologies,” he said. Then made a gesture to the chair she had just been sitting in. “Please.”
Ehrlich sat back down and ran her hand over her mouth as though gathering her thoughts. Finally she sat back.
“We’ve trained for every eventuality,” she said. Mulder nodded. “Every person on this mission was carefully selected. Me, in particular. I’m level-headed. Not easily flustered. I come at problems, as best I can, with an even-keeled, logical frame of mind. Work the problem.”
“And we’ve worked through every problem we’ve come up against, Commander,” Mulder said, thinking that she was looking for a little reassurance that she was doing her job well.
She nodded once. “I believe I was the right person for the job and I still do,” she explained.
“I’m sensing a ‘but,’” Mulder said gently.
Ehrlich sat there for a long, silent minute before speaking.
“I can’t believe this thought has crossed my mind, much less is about to cross my lips,” she finally said. “ But. I think… I think the Nerio Mission might be cursed.”
Xx
Scully, Hramic and Shaw were just approaching Airlock 1 when it happened: a mangled cry came through the comms channel the drill team had been using. Scully and the other two astronauts whipped around and watched—in what seemed like slow-motion, but was really only because of the lesser gravity on the planet—a plume of steam erupt right in front of where Powers was standing and his body fly through the air in a parabolic arc.
Dutton immediately broke in. “We have a pressure loss on the heating unit, Lieutenant!”
“Shut it down! Shut it down!” Elmer shouted, already running full tilt toward Powers. “Scully!” he yelled, calling in for medical assistance, but she was already on her way, running as fast as she could in her suit. The bulk of the material encasing her legs would have slowed her down considerably, but her legs were just more powerful here and each push off with her feet sent her meters further through the air than they would have on Earth. She easily vaulted over the pipes that led from the engine to the derrick that housed the drill structure and skidded to a stop next to Powers' prone body in a cloud of red dust. Elmer was already on his knees next to the payload specialist, attempting to rouse the man. Elmer had switched over to a two-way comm channel so as not to take over the feed that the other astronauts were using to try and figure out what happened and to stop it. Scully cut in.
“Ricky? Ricky!” Elmer was barking into the comm.
“Elmer, I need you to get his shield up,” Scully said calmly, focusing the Lieutenant’s attention. She reached over and raised Powers’ limp wrist up so that she could take a look at his heads-up display. She brought up his vitals just as Elmer raised the gold-plated shield of his helmet.
“Suit integrity is holding,” she said. “Vitals are okay.” She raised her own shield so that she could make eye contact with Elmer. “I think he got knocked out.”
“Lieutenant,” broke in Dutton’s voice. “Drill is shut down. The only readout here that’s concerning is the outgoing pressure gauge.”
Elmer looked up to the area of the piping where Powers had been standing, which was still out-gassing an ever-decreasing amount of white vapor. Shaw was already in front of it.
“Shaw,” Elmer started. “Report.”
“Coupling blew,” Shaw said immediately. “Which is odd, but maybe it was damaged in transit. Should be an easy fix.”
“Fix it,” Elmer stated, then turned back to Powers, who gave a weak groan.
“Powers?” Scully said gently. Powers opened his eyes, then tried to get up. “Easy,” she said. “I need you to stay down.”
“What happened?” he asked.
“Coupling ruptured,” Elmer said, pressing a hand down onto Powers’ chest to keep him down in case he tried to get up again. “Blew you from here to Okavango Valles.”
“Really?” Powers said, innocently.
“Maybe not that far,” Scully said, feeling sorry for the poor guy. He’d clearly gotten his bell rung. She switched over to a different comm channel. “Robo One,” she said.
“Robo One, reporting,” came the Siri-like voice of the assistance robot.
“Robo One, I need you to report to my location. You’re needed for medical transport.”
“Command received. Initiating.” From the far side of the HAB, Scully saw the machine pull away from its charging station and start rolling its way over.
Scully switched over to a two-way with Elmer. “Once we get him to the airlock, I’m going to need assistance getting him to the medical bay.”
“Copy that,” said Elmer.
Still on her knees next to her patient, Scully kept her eyes on his vitals and waited. Beyond the horizon, the dull sun drifted through an apricot-colored sky.
Xx
“What makes you say that?” Mulder asked. He was non-reactive and calm. Maybe the Commander just needed to get the thought off her chest.
“Are you kidding?” she said. “Everything that could go wrong, has.”
Mulder shrugged. “Murphy’s law.”
Ehrlich looked up at him. “It’s not just that.” Mulder waited for her to go on. “It’s not just that. The CME’s, the radiation, things we have no control over. We expected those. It goes beyond that.”
She looked like she had more she wanted to say, but held herself back.
She leveled a look at him. “You’re going to think I’m crazy.”
“I am not going to think that,” he reassured her. “I think you’re stressed.”
She tilted her head back. “Sometimes I think I’m crazy,” she said, almost as if she were talking to herself.
“Heavy is the head that wears the helmet, Commander.”
She turned to him and sighed. “Mulder, I lay in bed at night and I think… If we’re not cursed, maybe we’re being sabotaged.”
Mulder considered her a moment. She showed no signs of mental illness, and had made no moves that weren’t completely logical in the face of the situations being presented her.
“By who?” he finally asked.
Ehrlich stood up again, threw her hands in the air. “This is ridiculous isn’t it?”
“With the stress we’re all under,” Mulder started, “I’d say these thoughts are perfectly natural. You want to place blame.”
“Yes,” she admitted. “That’s true. But I also…” Mulder, once again, waited for her to go on. “I feel it.”
Mulder gave her a sympathetic look. “And has your gut ever steered you wrong?” he asked.
She looked surprised by the question. “No,” she answered.
“Then work the problem, Commander.”
Just then, the two loud beeps of the Situation Alert blared through the HABs speakers and Ehrlich was on her feet.
“Ehrlich and Mulder please report to Base Base,” came Dutton’s voice over the intercom. “Ehrlich and Mulder please report to Base. We have a situation with the drill team.”
Neither of them wasted another second and went flying out of Mulder’s quarters and down the hallway into Base Base. Mulder’s first thought was of Scully, and he tried to remain calm while Dutton explained the problem: A coupling had blown and injured Powers. Robo 1 was transporting the injured man to the airlock and Scully would need Mulder to meet her there to help get him to the medical bay for treatment.
Relief seizing him like a fist around his heart, Mulder listened carefully to Scully’s instructions and prepped the clinic for her, and then ran over to Airlock 1 to meet the crew bringing in Powers. From down the hallway, Ehrlich stood back in case they needed any further assistance. And just as the Airlock signaled clear and the team began to trundle through, Mulder met his Commander’s eyes and held her gaze, a charged current running between them both.

Do you ever think about stardust? More specifically, do you ever think of stardust and yourself? Are you aware that they are connected? In your blood, if you are human(which I am assuming you are), there is iron in your blood. Iron originates in one place. Stars. You are, quite literally, made of stardust. And ain’t that a thought. Stars, colossal in both their size and their impact, upon death, launch the dust that is key to our creation across the universe. That dust landed here, and now flows within you.
I recently read, from a Tumblr post that was re-uploaded to Pinterest, the following quote.
“If an explosion explodes hard enough, dust wakes up and thinks about itself. And then it writes about it.”
So much of you is recycled. I can hear you getting defensive before I’ve even finished writing this. I don’t mean that you are not an original. I mean that you are, in some ways, Frankenstein’s monster. A creature that has never existed before, a concoction of reused parts, sewn together to create something new, something that lives and breathes and feels. The water in your cells might’ve been a puddle a child in pre-revolution france stepped in, or maybe it was the water Michelangelo cleaned his supplies with when he painted the creation of adam painting, or part of a waterfall that salmon jumped up during a time when their only predators were the birds and the beasts, or part of the glacier that shaped the great lakes, or the river that carves along the bottom of the grand canyon.. The water that is inside of you has seen it all, heard it all, been part of it all. The water within you has seen and heard and lived a thousand lifetimes, it will live a thousand more, and then a thousand more after that.
The iron in you began its life in a star, the oxygen in your lungs and in your blood and all around you was created by plants, other living creatures that are also made up of stardust, whose water might’ve been from the same puddle or river as yours, once upon a time. The carbon dioxide you are exhaling right now will go to those same plants, will allow them to create more oxygen for you and for everyone else, for all of the other creatures that have evolved from the same common ancestors as you, over millions of years, who are made of the same stardust as you.
“By the sweat of your face You will eat bread Until you return to the ground, For from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return(Genesis 3:19).”
We are made of stardust. When you feel down, like you aren’t enough, remember this. You are made of stardust.

"Take only pictures, leave only footprints"
That is a mighty big footprint to leave!
While it is thrilling to see signs of wildlife leaving their “footprints” as they traverse throughout the park, when visiting Glacier, we encourage you to reduce YOUR footprint! One easy way to do this is to “be idle free – turn the key!” When stopping your vehicle in a safe place, like parking lots, at scenic viewpoints and trailheads, or while stopped in traffic and road construction, reduce your idling impact by turning your vehicle off or by limiting your idling to no longer than two minutes. This aids in better air quality for the park and benefits the health of all living beings that inhabit and visit Glacier. It also saves fuel and helps preserve natural soundscapes by decreasing vehicle noise. This action may seem small, and one person might not make much of an impact, but if the over 3 million visitors that come to Glacier National Park every year each did their part, a cumulative difference would be made! You can also minimize your impact by reducing food waste, replacing single-use products with things like reusable water-bottles, using the park’s recycling system by recycling aluminum cans, #1 plastic bottles, and paper, and packing out your trash when it cannot be thrown away.
Make a modification to the phrase, “Take only pictures, leave only footprints” by taking actions to reduce your footprint when visiting Glacier!

Changes
Say, 7-Eleven where some guy
uses a newspaper to cover it.
(Holds it in his left hand.)
Just an ordinary stickup.
Did 7-Eleven close down?
Don't think so; dunno.
Money won't change
the way that word guy changed.
On stereoscopic cards
you view this regular
good time guy. He wears
a linen suit and a Panama hat.
There he is waving it
from a trolley attached to a guy wire.
There the trolley goes, stuffed
with the Baptist church on a picnic.
Those summer trollies, open sides,
woven bamboo seats;
driver clanging the bell,
single set of tracks, inter-urban,
swooshing the chicory.
And someone along the way
is sure to say, "Whoa there,
you guys."
At which they all lift their Panamas
and the ladies laugh.
Well, here it is past eleven,
my feet hanging over the side
of a single bed. Out there
this deep lake, a mere memory;
the open mouth of a glacier
one mile thick, a big stickup
that melted during the interim
warm spell, after it gouged
the bedrock down to a whisper
and filled it with recycled water;
rimmed with the teeth of conifers
whose seeds are ancient, cunning
and guileful; successful guys so far...
— Ruth Stone, In the Next Galaxy (2002)

first meetings meme .
a meme for first meetings and introduction threads, aka a ‘what you will notice about my muse first’ cheat sheet. repost, don’t reblog. bold what applies. Fill in details. ( blank meme link )
general appearance .
sex: masculine. feminine. non-binary.
notes: there’s always a masculine edge to harry’s appearance even when he utilizes things that are considered more feminine like jewelry, eye make up and nail polish. he’s comfortable in his own skin, he knows what he likes, and he’s not afraid to show it.
race: white
complexion: fair complexion with a mix of neutral and warm undertones. skin is slightly weathered and he tans easily.
height: 6′0″
body type: endomorph. mesomorph. ectomorph.
other / more details: harry is very physical and physically fit, he has very good muscle mass and definition, trains often, and is extremely active. generally his work and social life is enough to keep him in shape, but he does train and work out and this shows in how defined his build is.
body build: small. medium. athletic. muscular. soft. curvy. voluptuous.
other / more details: it’s very easy for harry to gain weight and store fat, with how scarce proper food was on the isle this benefited him greatly. with the barrier’s removal he finds himself having to be more conscious about his intake of food, but due to his active lifestyle there isn’t a lot of change in his weight or muscle distribution.
body hair: none. shaves/waxes. trims/grooms. untamed.
color: arm, leg, facial and intimates hair is a dark brown, near black. his eye lashes and brows are slightly darker in comparison.
notes: harry prefers to keep his face cleanshaven and spends the time to shave in the mornings before going about his day, he also grooms and trims his chest hair in part for aesthetic reasons but also to keep the hair from catching on any clothing or jewelry.
head hair: none. buzzed. short. medium. long. very long. asymmetrical cut.
color: he has a blend of dark copper brown and chestnut brown hair, when caught in the light there are a few strands of reddish copper but for the most part, it appears brown.
style: short, messy, and unruly. harry cuts his hair himself and keeps it short and relatively tidy, it has some layers to add to the unruliness which gives his hair slightly more volume. he trims it often, and doesn’t let it grow into his eyes.
eye color: pale blue. often described as forget-me-not blue, sky blue, pale sea blue, seafoam blue, cobalt blue, cerulean blue. when tempered they can appear cold, icy, electric, or glacier blue.
details: he has round, almond shaped eyes with a slightly heavy upper lid which can often soften his gaze. however when he wears black kohl it brings out the vibrancy of his eyes and makes his gaze appear much more piercing and intense.
scars: he has many scars littered all over his body. most are from fights, brawls, or battles, others are from the abuse he suffered, and some are even self-inflicted. the most prominent is a laceration that spans the circumference of his right forearm, he also has several penetrative lacerations on his torso that appear on his back, a wicked curved laceration on the right hand side of the small of his back that curve upwards towards his ribs. several patches of discolored skin where skin had been skinned or ripped off. scar map here.
style: vintage. traditional. casual. artsy. vibrant. geeky/nerdy. tomboy. sporty. trendy. preppy. girly. bohemian. elegant. formal. grunge. punk. rocker. gothic.
other: harry’s style could be described as garage goth or punk. he wears a lot of leather, denim, linen, cotton and rayon recycled and repurposed from existing clothing and altered either by him or by the vendors on the isle. a lot of his cloths are worn and distressed, with added spikes, buttons, zips with pockets, chains and other patches. much of his pants and jeans have red plaid patches which cover up rat eaten holes. headcanon here.
color palette: (for example: neutral colors, bold colors, only black, etc) harry’s signature colours are red and black, he is often spotted wearing a red leather jacket or trench coat with black jeans, boots, and leather gloves. sometimes he may choose to have black as his primary colour and red as his accent colour. he breaks up the bold red and blacks with ash whites, greys, or charcoal blacks and greys. he also sometimes chooses to wear browns or cream coloured clothes and every now and again, may sport something blue.
typical clothing: a leather jacket, patchy denim jeans, gloves, big boots, assorted necklaces and wristbands as well as rings. harry rarely goes anywhere without his tricorn hat and jacket and refuses most often to go anywhere without his hook.
piercings: none.
tattoos: he has several tattoos on his person, the first being three cutlasses on the inside of his bicep, he has an anchor and octopus on the inside of his right forearm, and a skull and hook on his outer right thigh. after the barriers removal he also gets two runic tattoos, one on his chest and another between his shoulder blades to protect him from malicious magic. headcanon here.
other information: harry has a lot of hidden blades, knives, and other utility tools on his person. while his most notable weapons are his hook and cutlass, should he be spotted without either he will still have a weapon or several weapons on his person. the only way to be sure he’s completely weaponless is to have him naked.
expressions .
general facial expressions: harry smiles a lot, often described as a cheshire grin, trickster’s smirk, shark teeth smile, etc. while very expressive, there’s a certain intensity and unnerving kind of awareness to the way that he watches people and things. his expressions can come across as very threatening.
default body language: open and almost lazy. he moves a lot, often has a flamboyant way of using his hands, his stance is generally very relaxed and comfortable in his own skin and in his surroundings. like his expressions, he carries a distinct awareness about him. he will also distract with one hand, while guarding or preparing to attack with his other. he has a very snake-like edge to him.
general movements: (example: do they have a limp? a unique walk?) he has a very prominent strut when he walks and as with everything he does, there’s an intensity and awareness when he moves. there’s always a purpose to his actions, to his movements, a directness in the way that he does things and he doesn’t waste any energy.
impressions .
presence: (example: are they a calming presence? an antagonizing one?) harry has a very commanding presence, he is noticed easily and quickly even if he isn’t making an entrance or putting on a performance. he’s confident and stable, it’s hard not to notice or watch him and even when he is relaxed or is being quieter than usual, he can usually be felt simply due to his intensity and confidence.
appearance: (example: tidy, unkept, etc) he has a very bad boy rocker, scoundrel pirate appearance to him. while generally appearing unkept, there’s an obvious pride and purpose in the way that harry dresses and presents himself. he’s clean, but he’s also weathered, he’s active, he’s real.
scent: he smells like the sea. sea salt, sand, the ocean. it clings to him like a second skin. beneath the scent of the sea are scents like wood after a heavy rain, and warmer scents like smoked spices.
speech .
voice description: higher than expected but still has a low masculine edge to it. when he speaks loudly there is a distinct growl and roughness to it, but he is also capable of speaking fairly softly and there’s a very lyrical and musical tint to his voice, almost mocking or luring.
accent: yes / no
more information: harry has a prominent scottish accent, while he’s inherited his scottish heritage and ancestry from his mothers side, there was and is also a very large scottish community on the isle, especially around hooks cove which is where harry spent the majority of his life. his accent is authentic but has a very obvious isle clash to it. if he were to visit scotland he would very easily be identified as someone from the isle just by his accent alone. it becomes much thicker when he’s speaking with his sisters or others from hook’s cove.
speech mannerisms: (formal, informal, curses a lot, etc) as mentioned, harry has a lyrical and musical note to the way that he speaks which can be either mocking or luring, or both. he uses contractions and slang and speaks fairly informally, his vocabulary is more limited than others and he generally isn’t a big fan of using “fancy” words. he doesn’t swear often, mostly because it’s almost like a waste of breath when he can just say what he means without any fillers. he will generally only swear when he’s angry and insulting someone or something.
extras .
anything else to add? when he’s feeling particularly murderous or is actively murdering someone, twin red pinpricks of light will appear within his pupils, inherited from his father and believed to be caused from hook’s imprisonment on neverland.

Global Warming
Global Warming is a phenomenon so frightening yet inevitable. Over several decades, we human beings have been finding ways to reduce its degree, be it by planting more trees and recycling plastic to reduce the number of greenhouse gases produced.
Despite the consistent effort, studies show that the recycling rate for the domestic sector in Singapore is only 22%. This has motivated the Singapore Government to increase it to 30% by 2030 through giving opportunities such as providing each HDB block with a blue recycling bin and implementing new infrastructure for citizens to recycle easier. Not only does it show how uninterested Singaporeans are in recycling, but it also shows how we can find ways to resolve global warming but are unable to convince others to contribute, so why don't we recruit more people to help us? After all, there is always a saying, "the more, the merrier."
Moreover, studies predict that more than a third of the world's remaining glaciers will melt by 2100 as a result of global warmings. Just because it affects wildlife living there doesn't mean it won't affect us. Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia with a population of 10 million, is predicted to be "entirely underwater by 2050". It shows how global warming can sink our countries if we do not act fast enough.
It begs the question, "How do we prevent global warming?". Although it is impossible to "prevent" global warmings, we can reduce its effects by knocking a sense of urgency into our people. One way is to utilise celebrity endorsements such as "Team Seas" by famous youtubers Mr Beast and Mark Rober. These projects aim to remove 20 million pounds of waste from our oceans respectively. Surprisingly, Team Trees managed to exceed their goal by three million only after a year and Team Seas exponentially exceeded their goal by 12 million after three years. This shows how (to be continued prob as hw)

10 Fun Facts For A Cleaner Planet
Did you know that...
The average American produces about 4.4 pounds of trash per day? That's a lot of waste! By recycling and composting, we can reduce the amount of trash that ends up in landfills and incinerators.
The United States is the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world? China is the largest emitter. We can all do our part to reduce our carbon footprint by making small changes in our daily lives, such as driving less, using less energy, and eating less meat.
The world's forests are disappearing at an alarming rate? Every year, we lose about 12 million acres of forest. Forests are important for many reasons, including absorbing carbon dioxide, providing habitat for wildlife, and regulating the climate.
Overfishing is a major problem? Overfishing is when we catch more fish than the population can sustain. This can lead to the collapse of fish populations and the loss of biodiversity.
Water pollution is a serious issue? Water pollution can come from a variety of sources, such as agricultural runoff, industrial waste, and sewage. It can cause a variety of health problems, including gastrointestinal illness, reproductive problems, and cancer.
Climate change is a real and serious threat? Climate change is caused by the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, which is causing the Earth's temperature to rise. Climate change is already having a negative impact on the planet, such as more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and melting glaciers.
We can all make a difference in the fight against climate change? Even small changes can make a big difference. By making small changes in our daily lives, we can help to reduce our carbon footprint and fight climate change.
There are many things we can do to live more sustainably? We can recycle and compost, drive less, use less energy, eat less meat, and support sustainable businesses. By making small changes in our daily lives, we can make a big difference for the planet.
We all have a role to play in protecting our planet. By learning about sustainability and climate change, we can make informed choices that will help to create a more sustainable future.
