"I never thought he'd take us back to 1929," sobs woman who thought she was only voting for someone who'd take us back to 1950
Hades gives Orpheus a trial he knows he himself could never succeed at, but it isn’t just that Hades knows he would turn around. Hades has been failing this trial every single year. He shows up too early. He turns too soon. He is so full of doubt that even the natural order of the world, that Persephone will return to him, is not something he can trust. Hades would fail the trial he has given Orpheus, and he already has. All alone, his blood runs thin.
Even when Persephone is there, a few steps away from him, in his own kingdom, he cannot help but look for her. When Orpheus sings, when he tells Hades that what he is defending is already gone, he looks for her. There is no question that his wife is there, and yet, doubt comes in. Hades would have turned just as Orpheus did. No one knows this better than him
I put every bird I could think of into this wheel. Spin the wheel. You're that bird now.
White-browed tit-warbler which is a ridiculous name but LOOK AT THIS FABULOUS LITTLE BORB.

I love everything about this design!
It matches the aesthetic of the show super well with the belts and golden gears and stripes.
It matches Viktor's character design with the colours of the shirt being the maroons and greys of his academy uniform, and the overall silhouette being similar.
It matches zaun specifically by having the outfit clearly be handsewn or customised from old clothes, with visible repairs. As well as gender non-conforming presentation with the half-skirt and the longer hair framing his face, shown to be more accepted in Zaun.
It also tells a story about Viktor specifically in this AU, like how his open shirt suggests confidence in his appearance, but the way the half skirt covers his bad leg suggests insecurity.

Also, everyone seems to forget this, but if you’re in college, CHECK YOU LIBRARY’S WEBSITE. they usually have access to a ton of journals. Sometimes a site that says you don’t have access will work if you access it through your school’s library website.
the mutuals would love that
Friendly reminder as we head into tax season (for US Americans), that the major tax preparation companies are fully prepared to lie and mislead you into paying for their tax preparation software when you might qualify for free software through the IRS.
Don’t fall for their bullshit. Visit IRS Free File and see what services are available to you. The requirements vary depending on your household status and income, but if you make less than $79,000/year (which is nearly everyone I know), you probably qualify for something.
HR block also did this shit to me, fuck em
A Safe Spot
Just Ekko and Jinx taking a nap together. Takes place sometime well after season 2. In my mind Jinx found her way back to Ekko after the whole "dying" thing... the details aren't important lol. Complete timebomb fluff because I literally need to see more of them.
Ekko was stretched out on the old, slightly lumpy couch, his arms folded behind his head as he tried to enjoy a rare moment of peace. The weight of the day hadn't quite settled yet, and he figured he had maybe fifteen minutes before someone—or something—demanded his attention.
But then, as if on cue, Jinx appeared.
Without warning, she flopped down on top of him, her full weight pressing into him as she made herself at home. Her cheek landed right on his chest, her arms loosely draped around his sides, and she let out a contented sigh.
"Jinx," he said with a half-hearted groan. "Seriously?"
"Shh," she muttered, squirming slightly as she tried to find the perfect spot. "I'm busy."
"Busy doing what?" he asked, raising an eyebrow, though he made no attempt to move her.
"Napping," she replied simply, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. She tilted her head slightly, her face now nestled against the crook of his neck. The warm puff of her breath sent a small shiver down his spine, and he could feel her body completely relax against his.

AU where Charles has come to terms with being dead a long time ago. (It's pretty mint, actually. And it brought him to Edwin, the best person in this world or the next.)
That also means that when they meet Crystal, his thought isn't "cute girl", it's "lost amnesiac child".
He argues with Edwin that as the only adults in the vicinity, it's their responsibility to help her.
(Crystal is baffled. Edwin hates that he's right.)
They call her "young lady" and call out things like "Oi Missy! Watch the language!" and tease her about how flustered she looked when Niko showed up.
She hates that she enjoys their encouragement and weird old people humor.
And when she gets her memories back... she's so grateful for their love and support.
Aunt Cindy and Uncle Earl start going to PTA meetings and helping her get her grades back up.
They go to her graduations and offer love and congratulations.
When Aunt Cindy Edwin pats her shoulder and tells her they're proud of her, she does cry, but they don't talk about it.
They don't even tease her when she slips up and calls either of them Dad.
They DO tease her when she catches them kissing and has the same reaction any teenager would have catching their parents kissing.
"EW! GROSS!"
JUST Crystal gains two teenage ghost dads.
And of her real parents find out? So what! If she's forgettable, then they're replaceable.
Also what are they even going to do? Call the cops? Pssh
