Icarus

Happy Friday the 13th guys, gals and non-binary pals!!

Icarus spread his wings,
          at first he was hesitant and careful but his fear washed away as he went up in the clear blue sky
          Daedalus warned him
          His build wings could't resist too much heat from the sun
          or too much salt from the ocean.
          Icarus was so intruiged and charmed by the wide sky that encased him as he glided through the fresh wind and warm sunbeams.
          He was so high up looking directly at the sun and so fell in love with it
          and the weightlessness of his flight so much that he forgot about life and death.
          He didn't realize the hot wax from his wings
          dripping down his shoulders and back.
          Feathers started swirling around him
          But he was too hypnotized by the sun and so suddenly his wings collapsed and he flew one last time, as he flew directly towards the sea he laughed.
          He fell in love with the sun he wasn't scared of looking into death's eye because he never felt that alive before 
          He was happy to die in this pure happiness.
          And so he crashed into the ocean smiling 
          Not for one second turning away from the sun
          And so he died with broken wings but a fulfilled soul.

thank you for the follow

Due to the information that has come into light about Iskall, I have made the decision to cut him out of my HC/LS prompt book and I won't write about him whatsoever. I will not, however stop writing about Stress as she has had nothing to do with him and his recent behavior. 
          
          Best wishes,

What nickname do you want me to give y’all?? Like what do you want me to call you funky ‘lil beans-

Hello. 
          
          I (maybe) know what you guys are thinking. 
          
          “What’s your stand on the Iskall drama??”
          
          I’m handling this the same way I handled the Wilbur drama. I’m going to not go off of first impressions and wait it out. I won’t say anything about taking sides because it’s still too soon. Information is still getting out and it’s likely some people will jump to conclusions and make wrong assumptions which will lead to more violent outbursts towards Iskall. I’m not saying anything until we have more evidence because frankly, it’s still way too soon. I only heard about this last night  and because of that, I’m staying neutral for the time being. The internet is a cruel, cruel place full of negativity. And I know damn well that the keyboard warriors are typing hate comments right now at lightning speed. All in all, I’m glad the Hermits are handling this maturely. 
          
          So please, 
          
          Don’t say/type something you’ll regret.
          
          Best wishes,

My friend sent me the banned books list on a spreadsheet and it is two pages of over 700 books…

This country is a sad and corrupt one. Normally i don't busy myself with politics but this time Trump has gone way too far. I recently found out that the Percy Jackson series is on the banned books list for Project 2025 including The Art of War, The Odyssey, The Trail of Tears, Uncle Tom's Cabin and many, many more. PEN America's Congressional Affairs Lead, Laura Schroeder, has said: "The targeted bans intentionally seek to silence authors of color, LGBTQ+ authors and stories that explore the themes of racism, trauma, religion, gender identity and sexual identity. Students are being deprived of stories that can help them deal with real lived experiences such as trauma and violence. This must end." Donald Trump is a facist, racist, s/a-er who has done nothing but fuck up this godforsaken, horrendous excuse of a country. 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!
