There’s no way he’s going to get it without a little help. After a moment, she gets an idea. She points up at the constellations he was describing earlier. Eric frowns. “Sky? Uh…” She pushes his cheek to direct his line of sight, then does her best to draw the ram constellation. “Aries?” All right, good job. She gestures for him to say it again. He does, and she holds a hand up to his lips before he can say the s at the end of the word. “Arie-? Ari-e?” She runs a finger down his lips as he says it again. “Arie-? Ari-el?” Yes! She bobs her head excitedly. Eric grins at her. “Ariel. That’s a beautiful name. Written in the stars.” They gaze at each other, and for Ariel it feels magnetic, like everything in this moment was set up just for them.

Hello!!
Hope everyone had a good week :)
This week hasn’t been the best productivity wise, however it’s been a fun one.
I’m still working on improving my pace of completing work and studying. I haven’t seen any progress but it’s only been a week so I’m giving myself time to get adjusted to studying everyday along with completing homework and attending classes. If anyone has any tips on efficient study techniques please do share (insert pleading face*).
Also, I finally watched My Policeman, and oh my lord it is gooood. The actors did an amazing job, and the chemistry between Tom and Patrick, I can’t say anything except phenomenon. My heart broke for Patrick and occasionally for Marion as well. Overall the movie was really good. If you haven’t watched it, go do it now!!
Char soon <3
PS - thank YOU for reading x
PSPS - these are some pictures I've taken during the week

My favourite things about the whole OceanGate disaster, in no particular order
That the vessel was originally named Cyclops II but the CEO renamed it to Titan, so it’s even BETTER than the Titanic
He also called it indestructible
The guy piloting the vessel is an ex-naval captain who has been on several titanic manned trips. But the guy is 77 rn
The billionaire from Pakistan is apparently friends with King Charles. You’d think for someone who’s besties with a guy whose job was literally being born, he’d care more about protecting his bloodline. Instead, he brought his 19 year old with him
Meanwhile, the stepson of one of the other billionaires (I think the British one named Hamish) went to a Blink 182 concert. When questioned about this, he basically went “my family would want me to go to the concert”. Today, minutes after posting about asking for thoughts and prayers, he @‘ed an OF model on Twitter, asking her to sit on his face
Bc it’s part of the safety demo & music track list for the trip, there is a VERY good chance that if there’s still some power left in the sub, it’s playing an instrumental of My Heart Will Go On on loop
Also, the vessel is a submersible bc it doesn’t meet literally any of the safety regulations to be called a submarine. Which the CEO knew, because he’s blatantly said that safety regulations get in the way of progress
The CEO once stated that he thought the future of humanity was not in space, but in the ocean when the surface becomes uninhabitable
Apparently the controller he’s using has REAL bad reviews because the connection always fails
These idiots paid $250k EACH but they had to pack their own lunch. Not even a damn charcuterie board
The pilot’s seat is on the toilet. So whenever someone needs to go, the pilot needs to move
There’s 1 window looking out. That’s it
It’s about the size of a minivan
The sub uses texts (but only to the CEO’s phone) to communicate, as well as StarLink, but they can only access that if they surface
The door literally cannot be opened from inside
There is a decent chance that at least 1 person has been cannibalized (my bet was the pilot since he’s not rich, but bc of the banging sounds, he’s probs not dead, so it may be the CEO)
They’re supposed to run out of oxygen tomorrow (22/06/23) at 7 am est, but tbh, the CO2 scrubber system will probs fail before that
The toilet is a plastic bag
This is only the 3rd time in 3 years the vessel has gone to the Titanic. Every other time, there’s an issue and they gotta turn back within like 4 hours
A lot of major news networks are trying to remain positive, but it’s a HILARIOUS comparison when you go to social media and every single person is like “yeah that shit is built like a cardboard boat, they’re fucked”
The company’s name is literally called OceanGate

“She lightly traces a finger along the side of his face, observing him now in the morning light. She wishes they could sit together and talk about all the wonderful places they dream of exploring. She could tell him how limiting being the sea king’s daughter is sometimes. Ariel is aware she doesn’t really know him, but after listening to his words on the ship, she feels like she could share all her deepest thoughts and he’d understand. She never had that before.”
