The northern part of the North Island of New Zealand has been curb-stomped by Cyclone Gabrielle. Roads have disappeared, hillsides fallen down, and bridges, houses, crops, and worst of all, livestock, pets and people have been washed away. We don't know the final death toll yet, or the full extent of the damage, but there are over 10,000 displaced people, about 1400 'uncontactables', and a whole lot of infrastructure will have to be replaced.
If you have a few bucks spare you can donate above. The money will be split between the Red Cross, who are on the ground with immediate support, and the local Mayoral Relief Funds for the affected areas.
Thank you.

Can you do Rooster x Hangman?
Gas Station Chicken - rooster x hangman
(very weird title, I know lmao)
Summary: After forgetting to get something for maverick's 60th birthday barbecue, hangman and rooster have no other choice but to stop at good old 7-eleven.
A/N: woah, two stories in one day? Way to go Mackenzie :) I usually do my requests in order, but I got this one tonight and I thought of this cute and funny story idea. I never thought I would write rooster x hangman, but here we are! I had so much fun writing this one, and I hope you enjoy it! Remember, you are loved <3 xoxo - mack :)
Tumblr media
For as long as roster and hangman have lived together, the calendar has always hung on the refrigerator. Their calendar, a free one they got at a New Years on-base party, had various portraits of north island, including but not limited to, planes, boats, the ocean, sunset scenes, hot men playing football - and you can imagine the rest.
Every time rooster or hangman would hear of a party or of an event they would mark it down on the calendar so they would be sure to attend. Now most of the time, it was rooster who did the marking-events-down-on-the-calendar bit, and hangman who mentioned them to rooster one night while laying in bed.
The sole purpose of the calendar was to be more punctual and present for events with friends and family, but on this particular June day, it appears that the calendar had become forgotten.
Jake and Bradley were seated at dinner, enjoying a salad that they had picked up at the supermarket, when a thought entered Jake's mind. "Brad, when is that barbecue at mavericks? I could have sworn it was this week, maybe next?"
Wiping his mouth with his black linen napkin, rooster stood up, "I'll go check the calendar."
And there it was, underlined, blooded, and circled in red, "MAVERICK'S BBQ. DON'T MISS!!! 7:00"
"Shit," rooster mumbled, eyes wide, realizing the time on the wall clock, "Hangman were late!"
Jake stood up, pushing his chair back, still eating the last bit of his salad, "the barbecue?" he asked.
Rooster nodded, putting the palm of his hand up to his face, "Its tonight! We're going to be late!"
Wiping his mouth on the back of his hand, hangman began to untie the string of his grey sweats, "I better change then."
In their shared bedroom, hangman scrambled to find a pair of black pants and a creme coloured polo shirt with a tan stripe in the middle. Rooster, already wearing his jeans from earlier, threw one of his dads Hawaiian shirts over his white tee.
"Fuck," hangman said, "We were supposed to bring something weren't we?"
Rooster, grabbing his wallet from the dish on the counter, ensured his credit card was intact, "We'll stop at the store on the way there. We don't have time to make anything."
So, after pulling in the car, and checking the route to maverick's, the couple found that the only store open past 6:45 on a sunday was the local gas station.
The 7-eleven on greenway avenue wasn't the first choice for dinner, but it would have to do.
The man behind the counter with the greying moustache puffed a long cloud of smoke from his cigarette as the pair entered the shop, not giving the two of them much more than a quick glance. Once through the doors, hangman made a b-line to the back wall, where there were refrigerators stacked full of beer. He grabbed a 24 pack of some popular brew and met his boyfriend over in the snack isle, where he was thinking hard about what type of tortillas to bring.
"Just go with the blue ones," hangman said, "Their better with salsa."
Rooster nodded and followed Jake up to the counter where smoky-moustache-man was now playing some sort of slot machine game on his iphone. Rooster cleared his throat, "We're all ready to check out."
"Wait," hangman said, grabbing roosters arm, pointing to the 'flaming' Texas chicken bits' that were keeping warm under the heat lamp next to the Louisiana rib-tips and pizza slices; each in their respective container. "Babe, we should get some of those too."
Rooster nodded, "We'll take a tray of your ribs, four pizza slices, and a box of chicken bits."
Hangman shook his head, "All of that, but we'll take all of your chicken bits."
The man stiffly got up from his chair and nodded, sliding a pair of clear gloves on over his stuffy hands. As he put the pizza in a red paper box, his gloves made that satisfying crinkling noise, and he didn't get too much sauce from the chicken bits on them as he used a spoon to set them all in a large takeaway container.
He disagreed the gloves and pressed various buttons on the cash register, clearing his throat, "that will be $36.40."
Rooster gave hangman a look that read 'I didn't think we would be spending this much on gas station food,' and then used his card to pay. The clock on the lotto machine read 7:23, "We gotta get going," rooster said, grabbing the bag of food as hangman grabbed the beer.
The two of them loaded up into roosters old truck and sped down the freeway listening to 80's rock ballads. By the time the two of them rolled up at mavericks beach-side condo, the party was in full swing. The grill was going, as was the bonfire. Some people were down on the sand, drinking and laughing and dancing to the music playing from the speaker on the porch.
Maverick raised his hands when he finally saw rooster and hangman pull into his driveway, "Nice of you two to finally show up!" but he grinned, so the couple knew he wasn't too mad at them.
Rooster nodded, handing maverick the bag of food, "We got you something mav."
Maverick rolled his eyes, peering into the paper bag at the chicken bits and pizza, "The sev'," he said, grinning, "I know this food well."
Hangman laughed, slinging his arm around the captain, "Happy birthday pops!"
Maverick shook his head, "Thanks Jake," half-defeated to officially be 60 years old.
"Go join in and we'll catch up in a bit," maverick said, patting rooster on the back.
Near the fire, there were groups playing cards and other games, phoenix and bob among them.
"Where have you guys been?" phoenix called to the two of them, "You've almost missed beer pong!"
Hangman smirked, "What, are we in high school Tasha?"
Natasha rolled her eyes, "I'm surprised you even passed high school!"
The group, the pilots you had come to know quite well over the past few months laughed as the welcomed you into their teams.
Rooster turned to hangman, taking a hold of his hand, "Better late than never!"

Ok so Cyclone Gabrielle has hit us pretty hard!! My family is incredibly lucky as we’ve had minimal damage to our property. However all power in Hawkes Bay is out and there have been reports of whole houses under water. That’s not even close to what the people in Auckland are dealing with right now!
Especially after the flooding event two weeks ago. I don’t know what the point of this post was but I guess I just wanted y’all to know that I’m fine but to keep Auckland and just New Zealand in your thoughts right now ❤️

Huka falls, North Island, Aotearoa
Waterfalls of the North Island. Classic Whangarei waterfall and Huka falls under Taupo, which is almost not a waterfall, but it feels even grander because it is a raging river squeezed into a narrow canyon several hundred meters long, and all its power seeks and does not find an outlet until it reaches the plain. And so you look at the river in its quiet course and you can’t imagine what power is hidden in it. Водопады Северного острова. Классический Whangarei waterfall и Huka falls под Taupo, который почти не водопад, но ощущается ещё грандиознее, потому что это бушуюшая река, втиснутая в узкий каньон несколько сот метров длиной, и вся её мощь ищет и не находит выхода, пока не докатится до равнины. А так смотришь на реку в её тихом течении и не представляешь, какая сила в ней скрыта.
