Solve Mysteries As A Gang Of Cats In This Open World Game

Stark Tower has literally got the best wifi in the whole of New York and Tony makes it free as well so sometimes he’ll walk out of the ground floor and just see like a dozen or so people, usually kids, just sat on the doorstep on their phones or laptops and like it’s such a little thing to do but yknow. He’s Ironman. Give the kids some damn fast wifi.

the suffering never ends

NOTE: I DID NOT COME UP WITH THIS IDEA, BUT I CANT FIND THE POST OF WHERE I READ IT TO SEE WHO DID. IF IT WAS YOU LET ME KNOW SO I CAN CREDIT!

Of course it’s Nate who finds it stashed in a drawer of Rip’s in his old office at the Time Bureau headquarters. It’s a desk that Ava won’t touch, still having unresolved emotions over what she now knows Rip used her and all of her clones before her for. It isn’t surprising that Rip would bring something like it from the future back to the present to stash in that desk long before his death.

Nate is wordless as he hands it to Sara, which should surprise her enough in itself.

“What is it?” Sara asks as she takes the paper. It’s been balled up and smoothed out so many times that Sara is surprised it isn’t ripped.

“It’s a list of,” Nate pauses, “I’m sorry I read it Sara. I didn’t know what it was, but I thought you’d like to see it.”

Sara eyes him skeptically. “They told us Ava was the perfect woman. She was made using a combination of so many women from the past. This is a list of those women,” Nate finishes, eyes downcast.

Sara looks at the paper wondering if she should open it. Wonders what she’ll find. She’s not sure at all what she expects as she opens the paper, but it’s simple. Just a typed list of names with no further information. No title as to what it could be, but Sara knows it’s true. She walks into her room to sit down on her bed as her eyes finally focus on the list. She’s acutely aware of Nate watching her. There are nineteen names, and Sara has no idea what this will bring her when she reads it.

1. Joan of Arc. It doesn’t surprise Sara that the list starts with a woman who lead an army in a revolt. A woman who has been revered for the mystique associated with her martyrdom.

2. Sacajawea - the fearless Lemhi Shoshone woman said to have guided Lewis and Clark with a baby on her back.

3. Marie Curie whose inclusions speaks for itself. The first woman to receive the Nobel Prize for research into radioactivity. The first woman to win the Nobel Prize in two separate categories, physics and chemistry. The reason we have x- ray machines now.

4. Eleanor Roosevelt who worked with the Red Cross, the Women’s Trade Union League, helped form the National Youth Administration, transformed the role of First Lady, and so many more important things. As head of the UN human rights commission she helped to draft the 1948 UN declaration of human rights.

5. Aretha Franklin whose voice and activism shook the world with hits like Respect and A Natural Woman.

6. Sojourner Truth the African-American abolitionist and women’s rights campaigner who changed the course of women’s rights.

7. Indira Gandhi the first female prime minister of India who introduced more left-wing economic policies and sought to promote agricultural productivity. Her end was controversial after declaring a state of emergency, considered authoritarian, and was subsequent assasinated.

8. Princess Diana who showed a natural sympathy for the pool and disenfranchised. Her humanitarian work made her loved by many. The world cried at her early dead.

9. Jane Austen who wrote Pride and Prejudice and Emma and Northanger Abbey. A woman who paved the way for female authors.

10. Susan B. Anthony who fought against slavery, for workers rights, and for women’s rights. She was a crucial voice in the movement to gain women the right to vote.

11. Wangari Maathai the Kenyan-born environmentalist, pro-democracy activist and women’s rights campaigner. Another Nobel Peace Prize winner on the list for her efforts to prevent conflict through protection of scarce resources.

12. Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat on the bus, leading to the Montgomery Bus Boycotts, and indirectly leading to some of the most significant civil rights legislation changes in history.

13. Billie Holiday who was called the First Lady of the blues and is wildly considered to be the greatest jazz musician of all time. She redefined the jazz era and changed music forever.

14. Anne Frank who still believed that people were good at heart while her family hid from people who only meant them harm and hatred.

15. Billie Jean King who battled for equal pay for women while kicking ass on the tennis court.

16. Oprah Winfrey who was the first woman to own her own talk show and used her voice to make real change.

17. Shirin Ebadi who won a Nobel Peace Prize. She was an Iranian lawyer who fought for human rights and democracy.

18. Malala Yousafzai a Pakistani girl who defied threats of the Taliban to campaign for the right to education. She survived being shot in the head by the Taliban and became a global advocate for women’s rights, especially the right to education.

19. Emily Gonzalez who used horrible situation of a school shooting to bring about change and provide a passionate face against gun violence in America.

Ava’s intensity in her fight for others, the Aretha and Billie records that played often on her record player, her uncontrollable tears when they’d visited the Holocaust Museum all made so much more sense. It’d turned Ava into a fearless warrior, a devoted lover of people; someone who would fight at nothing to change the world and make it better.

“It’s something isn’t it?” Nate says, breaking the silence. “Turn it over.”

Sara does and sees another name she isn’t quite sure how she missed. Her eyes widen as she reads it.

20. Alexandra Danvers

“Alex?” Sara questions, eyes wide.

“I looked into it,” Nate says. “In 2025 Alex uses alien biology, chemistry, and Lena Luther’s nanotechnology to cure everything from cancer to arthritis. She develops a device that decontaminates the water to rid it of trash and pathogens. She develops one injection that cures all contractible disease. By 2035 the only things that kills people are old age, violence, and accidents.”

Sara’s eyes are wide, her heart hammering hard in her chest. Because she still remembers that intensity in Alex’s eyes, her fear, her uncertainty, and her burning desire to save people. Because of course Alex would change the world.

“She also had two biological children that were both hers and her wife’s,” Nate finishes.

Sara smiles even more as her eyes drift down to the engagement ring that’s only been on her finger for a few months. Because of course it’d take that touch of Alex to make someone as intense and wonderful and loving as Ava.

It shouldn’t surprise Sara one bit.

“i’m sad and idk how to feel better”

“i don’t know what to draw”

“i always mess up”

“BUT I SUCK”

be like Thor, be there to support your loved ones,accept who they are and celebrate them

Inktober day 10: flowing

there’s a portrait of cedric diggory in the hufflepuff common room.

nobody knows who painted it. the other houses speculate, but the hufflepuffs know not to ask, because that’s not really what’s important.

it’s one of the moving ones, of course. sometimes cedric isn’t in it - it’s said that the portrait has a twin, over amos diggory’s fireplace, and cedric always loved his father. but he’s there enough, smiling down at the hufflepuffs who congregate in the common room, watching them as they go about their lives.

the portrait is by the door, next to one of the overstuffed yellow chairs. students sit there to talk to cedric, with some modicum of privacy. at first, it was his friends, the people who knew him and miss him and love him. but as time went on it became those who knew him by reputation. kids seeking advice, help with homework. someone to talk to, on a long and cold night. gradually, he became a legend, spoke in hushed whispers to the first-years as they came in. if you’re ever in trouble, talk to cedric. he’ll always help you.

after the battle of hogwarts, when the furniture was mended and the new students hesitantly made their way in, there was another portrait next to it, of hufflepuff’s favoured daughter. tonks, known by one name only, blew painted bubbles from her world of acrylic and canvas. while students came to cedric for help and advice, they came to tonks to ask questions. she would tell the most wicked stories, and some of them were even true. when someone needed cheering up, when they were wanting to brainstorm their next epic prank, they went to tonks.

she wasn’t always there, either. another portrait above a cot, where a baby with shocking blue hair could look at it and laugh. but when she was, she was always happy to have people come to her. when they did, it felt like she wasn’t just paint and canvas. she felt alive.

hufflepuffs look after their own, you see. dead or alive.

Weekly anatomy tip!

This week I tackle feet. I know how many of you asked for it.

It is hard topic indeed. It’s hard to draw nice looking character with feet that doesn’t look believable. 

A lot practice is needed. I just presented few ideas and now you have to put it to practice.

Hope this helps !
