Princess of darkness and crows.

@darkcrowprincess

I'm a romantic at heart ❤ Yes I'm a lunter shipper 💜 💛 I'm a lover of movies, anime/cartoons, books and tmnt🐢 "My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite."

Honestly, Terry has such a potential to become a really complex character alongside Claudia in season 6. Because I think he partly is aware that there could be something 'fishy' going on, but Claudia, Viren (with whom he bonded in season 4) and in extension Sparklepuff seem like the only family he has. Especially considering they are way more accepting of him than the other Earthblook Elfes. And now Claudia, whom he really loves a lot, has lost her leg. Someone had cut Claudias leg off and you can't tell me that as Claudia lies there crying in his arms that Terry wouldn't harbor a big dislike towards whoever did this.

And Terrys reaction to Aaravos would certainly be interesting. Espcially if Aaravos would come up with a ritual that in the end ends up prolonging/saving Viren and also a way to elleviate or at least easy Claudias problems regarding the missing part of her legs.

Besides, all that Terry must have heard of Aaravos must have been quite positive. And he can't really harbor any delusions to what Claudia can and is willing to do considering he is aware of the things she did and went through in order to save her father. And Aaravos is someone who holds the knowledge on how and is willing to bring someone back from the death.

Also, there still is the factor that while Terry has proven to work as the groups and especially Claudias conscious and good side, he had still been willing to kill for Claudia in season 4.

💩!!! I just remembered that the elves in this show only have 3 fingers! 🦆!!!! Oh well, I’m not fixing it. The extra finger is for anyone who points out it’s presence 🤣

But Ibis’ murder and Terry’s subsequent breakdown over taking a life does raise certain questions about Callum and Rayla going forward in two key ways, respectively. [...] This is also where Callum’s parallels to Terry gets particularly interesting as well. The Dragon Prince repeatedly frames murder in the face of self defense (specifically in defense of someone else) as something that removes agency. Thus, that begs the question of what Callum’s test will be, specifically: What will he do to protect his loved ones, perhaps Rayla in particular?

You are the kindest thing
That ever happened to me,
Even if that's not how our tale is told.
When everyone else told me I was
Destined to be a forgotten nymph
That nurtured flowers and turn meadows gold,
You saw that the ichor that resides in me
Demanded it's own throne.
You showed me
how a love like ours can turn
Even the darkest coldest realm
Into the happiest of homes.

Juliet: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
Romeo: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?
Juliet: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
Romeo: O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

Tsu’tey getting pissed at a root that had the audacity to trip Spider up whilst he was chasing his Dad’s tail. 

Just young Spider toddling along after Tsu’tey whilst the hunter navigates the forest. He’s decked out in the loincloth Tsu’tey made for him with a little toy bow slung over his shoulder so he can be like his Dad. Since he’s learnt to walk, Spider’s been getting more and more confident in getting around. When he’s not tired, he’ll fuss until Tsu’tey relents and lets him out of the babysling so he can explore. He always makes sure its somewhere safe enough for Spider to explore, somewhere he can stretch his legs but Tsu’tey can keep an eye on him.

It’s mid morning, plenty of time to hunt for dinner later after Spider has tired himself out enough to sleep whilst Tsu’tey works. 

Now, the little one is making grabby hands at the tail waving above his head, and not looking where he’s going because he’s so enthralled. To his credit, Spider doesn’t cry when he falls, just lets out a startled yelp and landed face first. Tsu’tey’s ears flick back at the sudden noise, head snapping round to check on his son, only to find him lying on his stomach in the dirt looking sad and pathetic.

With big watery eyes, Spider’s gaze climbs Tsu’tey’s towering form, his lower lip wobbling. He’s clearly stunned, watching Tsu’tey for a reaction so he knows whether he’s supposed to cry or sit back up. 

The hunter has to swallow hard as he turns and crouches to assess the damage. He knows his ears are pinned back and his tail is thrashing dangerously, but he works hard to keep his expression neutral. For if he panics, it’ll send Spider into hysterics.

Spider is stock still as Tsu’tey examines him with careful touches, watching his Dad’s face like a hawk for signs of distress or sadness. Tsu’tey gives him nothing so Spider just keeps staring. Momentarily frozen as Tsu’tey realises he’s fine and let his ears spring back up.

“What a brave little warrior.” He coos, gently hooking his fingers under Spider’s armpits and lifting him back to his feet. Spider visibly brightens at the compliment. He makes grabby hands at Tsu’tey once again, who is more than happy to scoop him up into his arms. 

Spider goes willingly into the sling, allowing Tsu’tey to carefully dust off his knees before tucking him in securely. Before the hunter turns to go, he makes sure to give the offending root a sharp kick. 

My thoughts on books:

I usually don't like ya series/popular book series for girls because they make the characters too bland. The types of bland I'm talking about is like im not like other girls characters, or I don't think I'm pretty but I actually am(for once I would love a female who isn't pretty and stays that way. Who's fat or has ugly scars, or who is just not conventionally beautiful but likes their looks. Or someone who is beautiful and is aware of it and takes pride in it) over powered female characters(I love female characters with power. I just don't like when they have perfect control of their powers super right away. That's why we have character development) characters who don't want the money or the power or the dresses and guy but they get it anyway. I want female characters who want that stuff and aren't punished by the narrative for wanting it. I'm very picky over what I read in general. If I don't like the first few pages of a book, I put it down and don't keep reading it. So I didn't read a lot of popular book series as a tween and teenager. But I did read some. Book series that I did read growing up:

Sisterhood of the traveling pants series👖by Ann Brashares:

love the different girls in these books and the friendship between all four of them. Was so sad when i finally finished the last book.

Harry Potter Series by you know who:

Was the first ever series that I really got into that I loved and was super excited to read every book. Was my first ever Fandom and what really got me into Fandom and fanfiction in general. It's bittersweet now with all the you know what happening now. But the loves still there. Just the magic of the first time reading is gone.

The lunar chronicles by marissa meyer

Is basically sailor moon mixed with star wars and fairy tales. Of course I would love it! Princess Winter is the best!

Types of books I read in general because over all I didn't read a lot books in series:

Store bought or second hand romance novels, mainly because my mom had tons in storage and boxes so she got me hooked:

Especially ones by NoraRobert or Debbie Macomber. Any romance novel really. I read bodice ripper ones or historical ones. Or romance with a twist.

Anything by Agatha Christie especially And than there were none. My teacher got me so hooked on her books. Love them.

Nancy Drew, especially love the ones where she's a teenager with her two best friends and boyfriend ned. They were a bit darker. I love a good mystery.

And any fairy tale retelling or candy apple books. Mainly I read books that were very feminine and had strong girly girl characters. With lots of romance, magic and love.

Replacing physical buttons and controls with touchscreens also means removing accessibility features. Physical buttons can be textured or have Braille and can be located by touch and don't need to be pressed with a bare finger. Touchscreens usually require precise taps and hand-eye coordination for the same task.

Many point-of-sale machines now are essentially just a smartphone with a card reader attached and the interface. The control layout can change at a moment's notice and there are no physical boundaries between buttons. With a keypad-style machine, the buttons are always in the same place and can be located by touch, especially since the middle button has a raised ridge on it.

Buttons can also be located by touch without activating them, which enables a "locate then press" style of interaction which is not possible on touchscreens, where even light touches will register as presses and the buttons must be located visually rather than by touch.

When elevator or door controls are replaced by touch screens, will existing accessibility features be preserved, or will some people no longer be able to use those controls?

Who is allowed to control the physical world, and who is making that decision?
