Turtle doves; Eddie Munson x reader

*Author’s note*

Okay in light of the fact that Christmas is just one week away (and that I missed both Halloween and thanksgiving fic ideas I could’ve done), I figured now was the time to do a Christmas theme fic for this beloved metalhead who stole my heart this year. At first I was gonna do a mistletoe one but I’ve been seeing a lot of them lately but after re-watching Home alone 2 and I saw the turtledoves I thought BINGO DING DING DING DING!

Not much warning except maybe some swearing, insecure Eddie and TONS AND TONS of fluff!!!

_________________________________________________________

Up in Indianapolis, the city was bustling with excitement but also chaos because it was that time of the year again, Christmas time. Hundreds among hundreds of people crammed into the stores to not only get the best deals, but also get the gift before their fellow man can. The airports packed with families waiting for the arrival of extended family or friends.

“Eddie? Oi Eddie!” Dustin snapped Eddie out of his trance. Eddie shook his head and looked down at his favorite (even if he thinks he’s a little shit at times) freshman member of his Hellfire club.

“What?”

“You were miles away. Thinking about (Y/n) again?” Dustin teased. Eddie smacked the boy in the back of his head and said.

“You wish Henderson.”

“You are like bright red in the face right now.” Laughed Dustin.

“Shut your mouth Dustin. That’s your final warning.” But Dustin wasn’t wrong. He was thinking about said girl, in fact he’s thought about her all year.

Ever since she took that study abroad program for her Animal Biology major in college, she hasn’t had much time to talk with Eddie. Letters were scarce and phone calls were even rarer. And even though he was happy for her going all around the world studying wild animals, he wished that she wouldn’t be so far away from him all the time.

Eddie Munson and (Y/n) (L/n) had been friends since they met in the 6th grade when Eddie had his bike stolen by some asshole 8th grade jocks and (Y/n) threw sticks at them to get them to retreat. There she shared his first animal facts that chimps in the wild would throw sticks and stones at pythons to dive them away from their territory.

(Y/n) had always loved reading and learning about animals and she dreamed of one day venturing out into the world to study them and see how they behave up close. That’s why Eddie always called her his venturous She-elf.

When she got to graduate in 84 and he didn’t, it didn’t deter their friendship. Every weekend and holiday she visited him and would tell him all about how college has been treating her and what she’s learned that she hadn’t before. But Eddie had been harboring a secret that not even she knew of.

Since the start of their high school years, Eddie had fallen in love with his adventurous Elf. Not only for her looks but for her passion for what she wanted in life. Like him, she had a goal and she was reaching it, achieving it, and trying to own it. She was indeed a darer but he feared that if he ever told her how he truly felt, he’d be holding her back.

Hell he couldn’t even graduate from High school, twice! What could he ever offer her?

“Eddie?” Dustin said trying to get his attention. “You okay?”

“I’m fine. Just wondering what stories she has for us this year.”

“Oh yeah. I hope she brought home some cool souvenirs. Like this one time when her and her family went vacationing in Nepal and she got me this really cool face mask of an elephant. I still wear it to scare Lucas every now and then.”

“Thanks for the leverage Henderson to use against him next time he ditches us for his laundry baskets game.”

“You know I still can’t believe that you and (Y/n) know each other.”

“We do have lives outside of you Henderson, the world doesn’t always revolve around you yah know.” Soon their eyes caught sight of her plane landing and Eddie’s heart started to beat a little faster than normal. As quietly as he could, he took a deep breath before exhaling and they waited a few minutes as the passengers all began to depart the terminal gate.

Soon they spotted a young woman with (h/c) hair and prescription glasses on the bridge of her nose. She rolled out with her carryon to see two boys holding up a sign that was decorated and spelled out: WELCOME HOME LADY TAURIEL, her D&D’s character name. She smiled and came up to them and first embraced Eddie.

“Well this is a surprise, I thought I’d have to get a cab to your trailer.”

“What and leave you in this craziness by yourself? Absolutely not.” Eddie said as they parted but they both kept their arms around each other just a little bit longer. Dustin began to notice not only the lingering embrace they were doing, but also the look in both their eyes as they looked at each other.

“So what am I (Y/n)? Chopped liver?” asked Dustin. The two young adults separated from each other and (Y/n) shook her head.

“You would think all the times I spent babysitting you would mellow you out Henderson, but you’ve gotten an even bigger ego than when I left.” She said.

“It’s his tone right?” Eddie asked her. Dustin grumbled as he crossed his arms. (Y/n) shook her head laughing as she walked over to Dustin and embraced him before giving him a kiss on the cheek.

“Eww! You know I hate it when you do that!”

“Whatever you little shit. Now let’s get the rest of my bags and back home. Being on a plane for over 24hrs is not as enjoyable as it sounds.”

“Right this way then, Lady Tauriel.” Eddie said with a gracious bow. They went over to the baggage claim, gathered up all her bags and then headed on out to Eddie’s van to drive back to Hawkins.

It was a bit of a drive thanks to the traffic and the snow starting to fall, but they managed to reach Hawkins safe and sound. After dropping Dustin back at his place, Eddie and (Y/n) finally arrived at his place.

“You sure it’s okay for me to stay here? Mrs. Henderson offered me one of the spare rooms over at their place.”

“As sweet as the old lady is, how could I live with myself knowing you’d be stuck with Henderson 24/7. Plus I know you do have something for him that he says he’s been dying to see.”

“True. It’s just….I don’t want to run you out of house and home.”

“You aren’t. Besides Wayne’s been asking about you, I swear he loves you more than he does me.”

“Shut up Munson, Wayne loves you with all his heart.”

“Yeah I know. Well let’s get inside before the snow really starts piling up. Weather man’s been saying it’ll be the heaviest snowfall in 10 years.”

“Even though I’ve grown up with Indiana weather, it’s nothing compared to Nepal, or Tibet, or even Antarctica ugh. Never will I go down there again, even if I wanna see the cute penguins. I’ll take the ones in South Africa.”

“There aren’t any penguins in Africa!” Eddie objected as he grabbed one of her suitcases as they both exited the car.

“There are too and I’ve got the pictures to prove it.”

“You do not.”

“I do so!” the two of them continued their playful banter as they unloaded the van and placed all her things in Eddie’s room. “I’ve noticed you guys decided to do some indoor decorating this year.”

“Yeah. Wayne’s come into some really good money lately, and with some of the paid gigs the band and I have done, we decided why the hell not?”

“So it would seem my own personal Grinch finally found the Christmas spirit again ehh?” she teased as she poked his belly making him curl inward.

“I never lost it!”

“Mm-hmm.” She hummed skeptically.

“That’s it! C’mere!” he lunged at her, the two of them falling onto his bed and he proceeded to tickle her sides making her thrash around in laughter. “You know I think I finally know where Henderson got his sass from. After all, you’ve known him longer than either Harrington or me. We have you to blame for his behavior.”

“Nohohoht mehehehe!”

“Yes you! Now admit it or the tickling continues.”

“I don’t…..stohahap! Please!”

“Nope. The begging and puppy dog eyes won’t work on me this time.” As (Y/n) continued laughing, a voice soon called out.

“Eddie? You better not be killing someone in there boy.” Eddie was forced to stop as his uncle had arrived home earlier than normal. He got off of (Y/n) and said in a low, menacing yet playful tone,

“Saved by the old man. But don’t think you’re getting out of this just yet missy.” (Y/n) shoved him back to the bed and Eddie let her do it as she went out and said.

“Sorry Wayne. But if I had to be killed, death by tickles wouldn’t be too bad of a way to go.”

“Well as I live and breathe. Ms. (Y/n) (l/n) back from her time around the world.” (Y/n) smiled and walked over and asked Wayne.

“Permission to hug?”

“Permission granted ma’am.” The two of them embraced each other and after awhile he let her go. “Bout time you got here, Eddie wouldn’t shut up about how many days left till you arrived.”

“Wayne!” Eddie groaned from his bedroom door. “Why are you home so early? Usually you don’t get off this early unless it’s a holiday and Christmas eve is 2 days away.”

“The weather son. Boss decided it’d be best for us to all head home so that we wouldn’t get snowed in.”

“Well that was nice of him. Oh speaking of which, I have a surprise for you Wayne.” (Y/n) said as she raced back into the bedroom and grabbed both her scrapbook and a neatly wrapped present. “I was almost worried I wouldn’t be able to give this to you, or see your reaction when you’d open it.”

“Ain’t we supposed to open presents on Christmas though?” he asked her.

“Normally yes but this really isn’t a Christmas present. I saw it when I was in Tanzania and I thought one person had to have it.” Wayne took the box and unwrapped it before opening it up to reveal a beautifully hand-crafted and painted bowl.

The background was painted like the African sunrise with Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background and up front and center was a large African rhino (his favorite animal).

“I know it’s not a mug but it was the closest thing I could find to a cup.”

“Don’t go saying things like that, I love it. Thank you sweetie belle.” He wrapped an arm around her bringing her in for a one armed hug.

“Don’t I get a present too (Y/n)?” asked Eddie.

“Yes but you have to wait until the Christmas eve party at Steve’s. It is still happening there, right?”

“Yeah. You know Harrington.”

“Now go easy on that boy Eddie, sure he may have started off as a jerk to yah but you two really have become good friends thanks to that kid of yours.” Eddie waved it off before going to the kitchen to find himself something to eat. “So darling, what do you think of the decorations we got up?”

“I love it. I especially like the light up penguins over there by the tree.” She said pointing to the small decorated Christmas tree and by the nightstand stood a lit up penguin lamp.

“Eddie said you’d like it. In fact this was all his idea to begin with that we’d decorate the place special for you.”

“Oi Wayne! Since you’re here how’s about you cook dinner for once instead of having to do fend for yourself night!?” Eddie shouted trying to change the topic. Wayne rolled his eyes getting the hint of what his nephew’s behavior meant while (Y/n) was left perplexed.

Did—did Eddie feel the same way as she did? Did she hear that right? Or is this just Eddie being Eddie? One thing’s for sure, she was gonna try and tough it out and admit her feelings for her best friend at the Christmas eve party and hope she doesn’t humiliate herself doing it.

Two days later and after clearing up the roads after the snow storm they had when she first arrived, the gang was all gathered at Steve’s place for the party. Now this party was extra special to the group because throughout the entire party, each guest would present a tradition that was done with their families on Christmas day.

As per Robin’s family tradition, everyone had to come in wearing the ugliest Christmas sweater they could find. And the first activity was Christmas musical chairs as per Wheeler tradition. Mike decided to be the DJ and as Chuck Berry’s ‘Run Rudolph Run’ played over the speakers the rest of the gang began to circle around the chairs, and the first one to be out was Steve.

“Wait hold on that’s not fair! Munson kept stopping!”

“Just take the loss with pride Harrington.” Eddie told him. Steve rolled his eyes but took one of the chairs after everyone stood back up and the game resumed. One by one the rest soon began to fall until the final three came down to Dustin, Eddie and (Y/n).

“Remember, third place gets this giant Hershey’s bar.” Nancy said holding out the fairly large chocolate bar. A decent prize but it’s nothing compared to the giant family/party size M&M bag that was up for first prize.

The music started up and all three of the remaining players began to fake the other out by either pausing in front of the chairs before moving again, or trying to sit in the chairs while the music was still playing before moving on again. The song stopped and Eddie and (Y/n) ended up being the final two.

“Aww nice try Dustin but you still get the chocolate bar.” Nancy said.

“That’s fine.” Dustin said taking (Y/n)’s chair away and as Eddie and (Y/n) stood over the final chair, they stared each other down.

“That bag of M&M’s is mine Munson.” Boasted (Y/n).

“Don’t make me laugh (L/n). You know I kill for m&m’s. The only thing you’ll be getting is the three musketeers packet.”

“Alright enough flirting you two, get to walking!” Mike groaned as he started the music back up and the two friends began to battle it out for the chair. Once again the pair would stop in front of the chair trying to delay the other before racing around it, taunting the other to distract them from the song, until finally the song stopped and after a squabble that lasted for what felt like a minute, (Y/n) won the pot!

“Yes! Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Ha! In your face Munson I won the pot haha!” (Y/n) rejoiced as she claimed her prize, a full year supply of M&M’s while Eddie was given the three musketeers bag. Even with his wounded pride, he accepted the prize and was happy that his girl got the big prize.

The traditions continued with watching ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ and ‘How the Grinch stole Christmas’ (Sinclair tradition), playing a few Christmas songs (the Munson tradition), and acting out a chapter or two from ‘A Christmas Carol’ (a Henderson tradition). Next up was (Y/n)’s family tradition, ‘Santa Exchange’ as the gift opening was about to happen.

“Okay let’s see. This here is for Robin.” She said holding up a beautifully wrapped gold and red box with a red bow. Robin took her present as (Y/n) grabbed the next one when another hand reached up and grabbed a snowman packaged present bag. She looked up to see Eddie and he said,

“Figure Santa needs a little helper?”

“Santa appreciates it, thank you.” Soon the two of them worked together passing out all the presents to everyone until they were all set up in their own areas throughout the living room. “Okay so every year my family mixes up the order in how we each open up our presents so this year I say we go from oldest to youngest. Sound good with everyone?”

“Yep. Yeah.” Everyone answered.

“Alright, but before we start that, I want everyone to take my gift to you and open it. It’s all the same thing that I had done when I was in Japan.” Everyone went through their gifts until they found (Y/n)’s gifts and they all began opening them.

When everyone opened their gifts, it was revealed to be a traditional, authentic Japanese painting of her friends. Not only were they in the picture, but next to them was an animal she felt like was their spirit animal.

Nancy had an crane on her picture, Steve had a dog specifically the Japanese breed Akita, Dustin had a tiger, Robin had a white cat, Lucas had a phoenix, Mike was a koi fish, and Eddie had the traditional Japanese dragon.

“I found a traditional Japanese artist and in the span of the 4 months I was there with my team filming the Japanese Alps, I asked him to do this for you guys.”

“Wow (Y/n) this is—incredible.” Robin said admiring her painting.

“Easy for you to say, I’ll bet none of you are a fish.” Mike whined to which Nancy hit her brother in the arm making him exclaim in pain.

“It’s wonderful (Y/n), thank you.” Everyone else soon thanked her for her gift and she smiled as she sat back down at her area next to Eddie.

“Now that that’s out of the way, Eddie why don’t you start us off?”

“Yes!” Eddie softly cheered as he grabbed the first gift he spotted which was from Dustin. He opened it to reveal the new Led Zeppelin cassette. “Ha-ha! I knew you’d come through for me Henderson!”

“You’ve only been talking about it since Halloween. But I knew you’d like it, Merry Christmas Eddie.” Eddie continued to open up his gifts and he got some more cassette tapes, some new pins for his jacket, a new red flannel, and the new D&D manual book that had recently came out.

Up next was (Y/n). She opened the first gift that was from Steve and Robin. She unwrapped the paper before looking at the box to reveal what exactly it was before opening it.

“Oh my god, you guys.” It was the new Panasonic VHS camcorder.

“We figure you might wanna record some of your trips instead of just taking pictures. 3 hours of film this thing can do.” Steve said.

“This must’ve costed you guys a fortune. And I knew Keith don’t pay you much.”

“Worth every penny. Besides I expect some videos of tigers with that camera next time you go to India.” Robin said pointing at her.

“Alright, it’s a deal. Thanks you guys.” Seeing that camcorder made Eddie sick to his stomach. He wasn’t rich nor did he have enough money to buy her expensive gifts, all he had was his small little surprise that he had made for her. But he began to second guess himself, would she even like it? His stomach continued to turn in knots as she grabbed the next gift which was a new scrapbook from Nancy.

“Figured your old one was getting full so I figured it’s time for a new one. There’s also some little stencils in there so you can decorate it as you wish.” She told her.

“Aww I love it, thanks Nancy. Okay whose next?” she hovered her hand around the remaining gifts until she picked up Dustin’s. “Henderson’s next.” She unstapled the bag and pulled out the green paper stuffed inside and pulled out a journal that read across the cover (Y/N)’s ENCYCLOPEDIA.

“My encyclopedia?” she asked him.

“Thought it would be cool to get real animal biology from a real animal biologist. Someone who actually knows the facts and doesn’t keep editing it, I swear you’re smarter than any science book that talks about animals and how they behave and operate.”

“Is this some excuse to help you with future science homework?” she teased.

“What? No, no! No way! I just wish for you to write down what all you know and what you didn’t know before about all the animals you help document and study.”

“Well that’s sweet of you Dustin, thank you. Okay Michael, you’re up next.”

“Why must you insist on calling me that?”

“Cause I know it embarrasses you. And as your former babysitter it’s my job to embarrass you.” She opened up his gift and it was a small animal calendar. “Alright! Now I’ll be able to see what day it is. I swear those guys don’t carry calendars with them like at all. They tally the days like cavemen in their journals. Thanks Mike, really I appreciate it.”

She then went for Lucas’ present and he got her a mini-figurine that his sister made of her character Lady Tauriel.

“Now Erica would claim she made it all herself but I was the one that bought the figurine in the first place and I told her your description of her. She painted it and that’s all.”

“It’s a team Sinclair effort and I love it. Tell your sister when you see her thank you too.” She placed her D&D character back in the container before saying. “And last but not least, Eddie—” but as she reached out for it, Eddie snatched his gift back and pocketed into his leather jacket.

“Dude what the hell? You can’t just take back your gift.” Steve said.

“Shut up Harrington!”

“Eddie what’s wrong? I want to see what you got me.” She asked him.

“No you don’t. it’s not even ready.”

“Why would you give her an incomplete gift?” Mike asked.

“Hey Mike cool it, I’m sure Eddie has a good reason. Final exams were a bitch this year so I can see why he wouldn’t have time to finish his gift.” Dustin said trying to get Mike off Eddie’s back.

“It’s nothing like that Henderson, and I can defend myself thank you very much!” but his tone was harsh.

“Geez Eddie no need to snap. I know Dustin can be a bit much but there’s no need to go that far.” Said Robin.

“Will you guys just leave me alone alright!? God this is why I hate Christmas! Everyone making a deal about presents that just end up in the trash a couple weeks if not the day after Christmas!” he soon stormed out of the room and the house echoed a loud slam from the front door.

“I’ll go talk to him.” (Y/n) said as she got up and followed after him. After putting on her coat, boots and gloves, she followed Eddie who was leaning against his van smoking with a furrowed brow. “You’ll catch your death of cold if you stay out here like that.”

“I’m fine. Never bothered me anyway.”

“You may have everyone convinced that you’re this stone, cold metalhead but not to me. Sure you’re a metalhead but you’re not stone cold.”

“Well you wouldn’t know considering you haven’t even been here for over a year and a half!” he snapped. It shocked (Y/n) to hear Eddie snap at her like that but as soon as he looked at her shocked expression, he sighed heavily and stomped out his cigarette. “I’m sorry I shouldn’t have shouted.”

“I know.” She walked up to him and took his hand between hers, not only in comfort but to warm them up. “You wanna tell me what’s really going on in that squirrel brain of yours?”

“I don’t have a squirrel brain.”

“Yes you do. You always have a million things going through your head, and its twice as intense when you’re stressed or upset about something. So c’mon tell me. We’ve always been able to tell each other everything.” Eddie looked into her soft, gentle (e/c) and he felt his heart melt but also grow heavy into his stomach.

“Everyone else got you such amazing gifts. Gifts that’ll either help your future career or that you can personalize. Hell the Sinclair’s made your D&D character come to life, and all I got you was……this.” He took out his gift which was just a plain old small white box with a golden ribbon tied to it.

He couldn’t even look her in the eyes as he held it out to her. Once he felt her take it from his hand, he crossed his arms over his chest as his breathing grew sharper and heavier and she could see just how fast it was from the cold breath that escaped his lips and danced into the air.

She looked down at the plain white box and untied the ribbon before opening it to reveal inside two chain necklaces and attached to them were what appeared to be hand-carved wooden turtle doves. Or that’s what they seemed to be, it was a bit mish-mashed but even with the faults in the sculpting, she knew it must’ve taken Eddie a long time to do these twice.

“They’re supposed to be turtle doves. I know they look shitty, the woodshop instructor couldn’t teach me for shit and the chain is nothing special. Just from some old chain necklaces Wayne doesn’t wear anymore so I got rid of what was on those and he helped me attach the birds to the chain.”

Tears formed in her eyes as she pulled the necklaces out of the box and held them in her palm. She looked up at Eddie and immediately embraced him tightly, burying her face into his shoulder blades.

“What?”

“Eddie,” she released him so she could come around and cup his face which was already turning red from the cold, and even his nose was starting to go a bit red. “This, this is the sweetest, most thoughtful gift anyone has ever given me.”

“Really?” he asked insecurely.

“Really, really. And knowing that you did your best, I don’t care if the turtledoves look perfectly hand sculpted or like a woodchipper went to town on them.” They both softly laughed. “But there is something that is wrong with this gift.” At hearing that statement, Eddie’s brief moment of happiness once again turned back to fear. He felt her take his left hand and she placed one of the turtle dove necklaces into his palm before closing it up. “You need to keep one, so that way we each have one, and that we’ll always come back to each other.”

“Each other?” he asked her. She nodded as she slowly got closer to him whispering.

“Together forever, meleth nin.” She then took her chance and kissed her best friend/secret crush. When she felt him tense, she feared that maybe the kiss was too much and began to pull away but it wasn’t until she felt Eddie’s arms wrap around her waist pulling her close and even lifting her up.

She was stunned but wrapped her arms tighter around Eddie’s shoulders as their kiss slowly deepened until he set her down and they separated for air.

“My Christmas wish came true this year.” She whispered lovingly.

“Agreed. I’ve only dreamed of this a thousand times since middle school. Merry Christmas Lady Tauriel.”

“Merry Christmas Lord Beren.” They smiled at each other lovingly before they hugged each other so tightly it was like their bones would pop, before they looked at each other with their noses brushing against each other’s and their lips met in another sweet kiss.

“ABOUT DAMN TIME!! I’VE BEEN SEEING YOU MAKE GOO-GOO EYES AT EACH OTHER SINCE SHE GOT HERE!!” Dustin’s voice exclaimed in the night air. Eddie rolled his eyes before bending down and grabbed a big chunk of snow and quickly raced towards Dustin.

He let out a scream before racing back inside with Eddie at his heels holding the snow patch in his hands.

“No! NO don’t you dare stuff that down my back!”

“Get over here Henderson!”

“HEY NO SNOW TRAILS IN MY HOUSE GUYS!!” (Y/n) shook her head as she went back inside and closed the door as the chaos continued with Dustin exclaiming and trying to get the snow out of his back, Steve trying to mop up the wet patch of water from said snow that had been dropped on his good carpet, and Eddie and (Y/n) sitting close to each other exchanging kisses every now and again.

Easy Company going to the Zoo | Headcanons

Note: I do believe Zoos are ultimately harmful to animals; this is only for entertainment purposes. I recommend to read everything because is kinda connected.

– Dick Winters - This man is calmly watching every animal, listening silently to what the guides say like the perfect man that he is. Nix takes pictures of him like he is the wife that died at the beginning of the movie. He is genuinely embarrassed when the boys do something stupid and he has to apologize to strangers. He sees them getting along and Shifty helping random kids and he is on Proud Dad Mode. An elephant patted his head and he was so happy.

“Alright everyone, if anyone falls off the railings it will make the animals sick, so please be careful. You are hard for the animals to digest.”

– Lewis Nixon - A monkey stole his sunglasses and Winters laughed at him instead of helping him. Can’t stand kids screaming at the animals. Starts oversharing how bad his marriage was with the animals.

"Nix, they're gonna get depressed." Winters told him. "Even more? We are all trapped in some way, aren't we?" He replied after a sigh with a gloomy voice.

– Carwood Lipton - Plans everything as always. When the zoo guides are telling information It’s him who tells everyone to be quiet. He asks everyone to take a group picture. He really likes the red pandas.

"Come on guys, form a single file line."

“Do not pick the goats Perconte, can’t you read the sign?”

– Ronald Speirs - Gets offended because a parrot starts imitating him. Refuses to eat there because it is too expensive. He stole a mini toy turtle from the gift shop, and at the end of the day he gave it to Lip. He doesn't trust the raccoons or the lemurs because he thinks they are going to steal from him.

“Sir, can you help me find the kay-muls?” Muck asked. “You mean ‘camels’?” “Yes, that’s what I said.” “Fucking idiot.”

– George Luz - George tries to teach the parrots how to swear. He makes fun of the penguins too. A baby koala climbed on his shoulder to hug his neck. Talks with the zookeepers and learns more than the other guys. He looks at Don and Skip messing around and says: “Look at the primates socializing.” My poor boy really tries to communicate with the monkeys tho. "Hey, It's you George." Bill said, pointing at the monkey while laughing. “Sure, look Bill, It's you too." George points at the trash can.

– Joe Liebgott - The first one to volunteer to pet a snake. Almost threw hands with a kid because he stole his sandwich. He pushed Web and he almost fell in the otters water tank. He scares Babe with fake stories about animals who attacked people. Says dark humor jokes to offend Shifty.

“Shit, that leopard would make a pretty good coat.” “Lieb, please stop. It 's not even funny.” Shifty replied.

– Bill Guarnere - He is so excited to see the lions. If other companies are there, he is always screaming at them like it's a school trip. Runs back and forward in the front of the glass, to make the cheetahs run with him. Feeds the animals that are forbidden to be fed by the visitors.

“Bill, stop feeding them before anyone sees you.” Malarkey warns him. “What? No! Look at them, they have skinnier legs than Lieb.” “Bill, that’s a flamingo.” Webster replied.

– Joe Toye - He is against zoos, so he starts screaming at a zookeeper and Lip has to apologize in his name. Wants to make himself look like he doesn't want to be there but at the first cute animal that he sees he lets escape an "Anw." A bunny pooped on him. He is kinda scared a peacock wants to mate with him because he shook his feathers to him.

“Look, Toye found a girlfriend, how cute.” “Shut up George.”

– Donald Malarkey - Donnie is so excited and happy to be around the animals. He takes pics with every single one of them. In the farm section he spends his money to buy food to feed the goats. He buys so many stuffed animals. He saw a ginger monkey and got so happy. Names everyone animal like is going to keep them.

“Look how long their necks are.” Perconte says about the giraffes. “Don’t say that.” Malarkey replied angrily, “She might hear you.” “Yeah, don’t you hear him, Louisa.” George says playfully to the giraffe, “You have a lovely neck.”

– Warren “Skip'' Muck - Yes, he definitely dances to the monkeys. Brings everything from the gift shop. Imitates the meerkats when they stand up. Makes a stare contest with a lizard. Presses his face against the glass and Martin yells at him. He and Bill find orangutans kinda creepy and suspicious (??).

“Are we allowed to ride giraffes?” “NO.” Lip yelled.

– Darrel “Shifty” Powers - He was the one who volunteered to feed the elephants. He stays watching an animal no one else seems to be interested in. He loves to be around the animals but feels genuinely bad for them. He helps scared kids pat the ponies. He wants to adopt a kitten from the shelter of the zoo but he thought he wouldn't be responsible enough to take him.

“You know sir, cats don’t like loud noises, what if I talk too loud near him?” “I don’t think that would be a problem, Shifty.” Winters said with a kind smile.

– Eugene Roe - When they were in the farm section, he spent the whole time gently rubbing the belly of a pregnant bunny. I feel like he loves pandas. Asks the zookeeper's how many times each animal is being fed during the day and wants to know about the treatment of the sick ones. Even in the zoo he has to carry his first aid kit.

“Hey, look, it's a pelican.” Babe said. "That's a toucan.” Eugene replied.

– Edward “Babe” Heffron - He fed a deer and then got scared when they started to surround them. He is kinda scared of birds. He gave his lunch to a peacock because he bit him. He genuinely loves lizards.

“Heffron, you know It’s your fault that you got bit.” Eugene told him while taking care of his injury. “How is it my fault?” “You were trying to do a mating dance for the peacock.” “And I gave him my lunch, and for what? For him to like Toye instead. I hate birds.”

– David Webster - Web, Aka Shark boy, just wants to see aquatic animals. Is genuinely interested in learning about animals. He reads every board with the animal information and also acts like the teacher’s pet to the zoo guides.

“No, sir, actually they live 15 to 45 years.” “Shut the fuck up Web.” Lieb told him. “Ok.”

– Frank Perconte - He kinda judges giraffes for having long necks. He hates how the zoo smells. He wants to keep every lost belonging but Shifty convinces him to give it to the zoo staff. He leaned in to see the crocodiles better and almost fell but Martin grabbed him by his shirt right on time.

“If you fall in there, I won’t save you.” Martin said. “You won't, sergeant?” Perconte replied with a sad expression.

– Denver “Bull” Randleman - He is compared by everyone to a bear. He makes Perconte hold his shirt to not lose him in the crowd. He will call out anyone who taps the glass. Makes the guys wear hats because of the sun. He notices Talbert taking pictures of the animals mating and says to Martin: “Look, that creep is taking pictures of the zebra putting the stick on the honey.” (No, but imagine him saying this with his accent, I-...)

– John Martin - I feel like he has a special love for rhinos. A baby binturong fell asleep on his lap when they were in the Baby Room section. A hawk shitted on his shoulder and he got pissed.

"Alright everyone, let's go! If anyone touches, teases or even screams at the animals will be thrown at the Lions. Oh, and Bill, don’t try it on purpose.”

"For fuck sake, Muck don't dance to the monkeys."

– Floyd Talbert - The most distracted, instead of looking at the animals he is looking at the women. He sees two animals mating, quickly whoops Malarkey’s camera to take pictures. Is envious of how beautiful the alpacas hair are. He flirts with the zookeepers.

“Yeah, that’s a pretty big snake. You know what else is b-...” “Sergeant Talbert, get your ass back here.” Sargent Martin yelled at him.

pink elephants

Rated T | 3.9k | read on ao3

Summary:

[...] that is Buck who sits across from him on the sofa, tapping Eddie's remote against his knee while he looks for something on the TV, and that is Buck who sings loudly and off-key in his shower, but it isn't. Sure, that is Buck's body and Buck's face but all the core memories of himself and Christopher and the life they've woven together are gone, locked away or simply stolen from his brain by a car accident that nearly stole him too. There have been a lot of painful moments in Eddie's life: Shannon's death, the helicopter crash, and learning about Mills' suicide to name a few, but the look on Buck's face when he saw Eddie sitting at his beside—the cock of his head and the politely confused smile on his face when he looked between Eddie's face and their hands knotted together on his bedspread and asked who he was... Eddie is not certain, but he is pretty sure that moment was a knife in his aortic chamber. He is also sure that knife is still there. or; amnesia fic because i love being self-indulgent

When Eddie was a boy, Adriana was obsessed with pink elephants. He doesn't know who, exactly, told her about it—whether it was one of her tiny, excitable friends in first grade, or whether his sister, in her own insatiable curiosity, stumbled across the phrase herself—but one day, when Eddie was walking her and Sophia home from school, Adriana said, "Eddie," in that girlish, singsongy voice she used to have, "Don't think about pink elephants," and then giggled when he scowled.

After that, it was pink elephants all the time.

Don't think about pink elephants, Adriana would giggle from behind her hands while Eddie tried to get her ready for school. Don't think about pink elephants, when he was putting on his suit for mass. It wasn't long before Sophia joined her because, as things usually went in their household, there wasn't much one could do without the other soon following. Pretty soon, there were two girls, both under the age of ten, constantly in his ear trying their hardest to get him to think of pink elephants. To this day, he's still not entirely convinced they didn't ask him to do their hair in the mornings just so they could have a few extra minutes just to be silly, but he took his role as big brother seriously, and though he considered himself to be above their childish games the way most older brothers are, he indulged them anyway, mostly because he didn't have a choice. Because that's the thing about pink elephants: once aware, thinking about them is always an inevitability rather than an uncertainty.

Watching Buck is kind of like that. Eddie has always looked at him, has always been aware of the nearness of him, the scent of him that is all cologne, laundry detergent, and sweat, but it's all he can think about now.

What's that saying? The more things change, the more they stay the same?

Here is the undeniable truth: everything has changed.

Buck is alive.

Buck is dead.

Eddie's brain is constantly at war between figuring out which one's true and which one isn't.

Sometimes, he thinks they're both true at the same time. Because that is Buck who sits across from him on the sofa, tapping Eddie's remote against his knee while he looks for something on the TV, and that is Buck who sings loudly and off-key in his shower, but it isn't. Sure, that is Buck's body and Buck's face but all the core memories of himself and Christopher and the life they've woven together are gone, locked away or simply stolen from his brain by a car accident that nearly stole him too. There have been a lot of painful moments in Eddie's life: Shannon's death, the helicopter crash, and learning about Mills' suicide to name a few, but the look on Buck's face when he saw Eddie sitting at his beside—the cock of his head and the politely confused smile on his face when he looked between Eddie's face and their hands knotted together on his bedspread and asked who he was...

Eddie is not certain, but he is pretty sure that moment was a knife in his aortic chamber. He is also pretty sure that that knife is still there.

He excused himself from the room when the pained silence began to stretch for an uncomfortable amount of time, and the look on Buck's face drifted from polite confusion to vague alarm. The last thing Eddie heard before untangling their hands and ducking out of the room was the sound of Buck's heartrate monitor beeping quicker and quicker. Someone called his name behind him—Bobby, or Hen, or Maddie, even—but he didn't hear them, not really. He kept it together long enough to find the quiet, empty solace of the hospital chapel, close the door behind him, and finally shatter like one of those stained glass windows painting the room amber and amethyst. What a peculiar grief it is to mourn someone who is alive. It is not a grief he has had much practice in. All of Eddie's ghosts are just that: dead loved ones he still sees haunting the corners of his eye when he least expects them. But Buck was not dead. Thank God he was not dead. But he was also not quite Buck and staring down the barrel of a future in which Buck was Buck but he wasn't Eddie's Buck was so enormously suffocating, Eddie is still surprised he didn't die right there on the carpeted floor.

🧸🌟🎭🖕😬😭 Crutchie ( U.K.)

ty for the ask anon! apologies its taken me a little while to reply! hope you like these :)

🧸 - a headcanon about their childhood

raised by his grandparents, and one of his favourite memories was his fifth birthday, when they took him to the circus. he absolutely loved it, was absolutely amazed by everything. they got him a little stuffed elephant, which he named ellie and slept with every single night.

🌟 - a headcanon about their desires/wishes

I think crutchie is a simple guy. he's not as much of a dreamer as jack (though sometimes he wish he was), one of his biggest wishes is to just have a stable job and a nice house, two things he's never really had.

🎭 - a headcanon about what they lie about

his leg. he'd sometimes try and pretend that, on a bad day, he's okay. he sometimes feels like a burden to the others, even though he's more than capable of protecting himself, crutchie, though, isn't a great liar, and the others can tell if his leg is causing him particular pain - especially jack.

🖕 - a headcanon about anger

crutchie gets very quiet when he's angry. generally being one of the louder newsies, it's really unnerving when he just goes silent. he won't speak to anyone, and will push them away if they try and get him to talk. if he's at the lodging house, he'll either go up onto the rooftop or, on a worse leg day, lay on his bed, just staring into space, which helps to calm him down. if he's feeling more aggressive, he'll punch a wall, his bed, or his pillow. even angry crutchie knows he'd never live with himself if he physically hurt one of the other newsies. he doesn't like to take his frustration out on the others, so does his best to remove himself.

😬 - a headcanon about the worst thing they've done

despite uksies crutchie is the slingshot menace he never intentionally does 'bad stuff' HOWEVER he did once accidentally ruin a painting jack was working on (he tripped and fell into jack). he saved every penny that he could to get jack some new supplies, or at least what he could afford to buy. he knows how hard jack works on his paintings and its one thing he's never forgiven himself for.

😭 - a headcanon about the worst thing that happened to them

the first time he got mugged. at 9 years old, his grandparents had recently passed, and with nowhere else to go, he ended up living on the streets. some older boys stole his crutch (which his grandfather, who had been a carpenter, made for him) and the toy elephant, and they beat him so bad he couldn't walk for a week. he just hid in an alleyway, wanting and waiting for his death. no matter all the bad things that happened to him over the next few years, that was always the worst.

#ngl crutchie is one of the characters I create hcs for the least #pretty happy with these though!#newsies #crutchie morris #ask answered #ask game

Between a Rock and a Hard Place (2)

During a class field trip to a natural cavern, Marinette and Adrien get trapped in an elevator…trapped in a cave. Such close proximity means that secrets don’t stay secrets for long… Can the two escape their iron prison, much less their glass cage of emotions? Or will teenage hormones be their undoing?

Every labor day, my family takes a vacation up north to fish, play cards, and just get away. It’s also the time I get massive inspiration and write large chunks of fanfiction. However, my husband stole my laptop while I was distracted and wrote a fake crack fic, leaving it in my drafts for me to discover.

He didn’t expect it to be a smash hit, but I know when I’m holding gold. So behold, the childish humor of my nearly 30-year old husband.

Ao3

Marinette finally met Adrien’s gaze.

They exchanged glances, each facial expression conveying different fractals of a conversation that seemingly never ended. Sure, the elevator was bad. But so was the elephant in the room.

Marinette’s voice came back as a whisper, “You’re….”

Adrien closed his eyes in defeat and a little bit of something else. Hidden fear? “….Chat Noir. Right, that’s what you said.”

Marinette drew a hand to her mouth. “Oh my God.”

“Because I have green socks,” Adrien tried an incredulous look, “with paw prints on them. That’s not exactly undeniable proof Marinette…” But there was a shakiness to his voice. She might call his bluff. Then what would he do?

“No, no no. It’s you. I know it’s you…” Marinette’s expression hadn’t changed since the elevator stopped moving. Her face was sheet white, though the elevator bulb doused it in a substation yellow.

“You can’t possibly know that. It’s not true.”

“I know it’s you! You did the same thing with your feet. The way you showed it off, like you were proud of wearing them. You said they were your new favorite socks and you’d wear them everyday—“

Adrien faltered, “That’s not tru…..Wait, how did—“

Marinette was rambling, “I said you shouldn’t do that because if I ever found you in the real world I’d know you by your socks, but you said—“

“—I said ‘No-one would notice a silly boy and his favorite socks.’” Adrien completed her sentence and the two were silent for a long while.

They stared at one another; one boy and a girl who suddenly felt like complete strangers that knew everything about each other.

“Chat?” Marinette whimpered.

“Milady?” Adrien winced as he said it. There was no going back now.

Marinette inhaled sharply. Adrien guessed the sudden realization was taking an extra toll now that he had assumed her secret identity as well.

Marinette pressed her back against the elevator wall and slowly slid down to the floor, her eyes stuck in a thousand-yard stare.

Adrien, needing the comfort of his friend but not entirely sure he was welcome, opted for the wall adjacent to hers. He sat down so their feet were at a perpendicular angle. That way he wouldn’t have to look directly into her eyes; her ghostly stare went past him now.

“We’re stuck in an elevator…” whispered Marinette, like she was afraid the words would rattle the cabin.

“No,” Adrien corrected, “We’re stuck in an elevator in a cave. It’s… much worse.” He forced a laugh that sounded hollow and devastated.

They let that hang in the air for a moment.

“I had a dream about this once.” Marinette confessed without blinking. The situation couldn’t get much worse, best air out the laundry now.

“Uh, me too,” Adrien laughed bashfully, “Although, you were wearing red tights…. and I didn’t know it was you. Does that count?”

Marinette made a humming noise, but it was hollow, like whatever joy that would have brought her had long passed.

Adrien kept readjusting his seat. Marinette didn’t seem to be taking this well. He had to ease the tension.

“Hey,” he tried, “Could be worse. At least nobody else knows. The two of us can sort this out.”

Marinette finally closed her eyes, her head slowly shaking.

“We’re still stuck in an elevator,” she said.

“Oh, someone will notice it’s broken and come to rescue us.”

“That could be hours from now, Adrien.” Marinette curled in on herself, trying to bury her head between her legs. Perhaps she could become so small, that all her problems would go away.

“No way, the group will have to check on us eventually. Besides… we could always break ourselves out…” Adrien coyly fiddled with his ring, hinting at the power of the miraculous.

Marinette finally looked up at Adrien. Perhaps if he could see she was on the verge of tears he might finally understand.

“Adrien… if we save ourselves we’d be discovered. Don't you get it? If Ladybug and Chat Noir come out of the elevator you and I went into… everyone’s going to figure it out… then we really did screw everything up.”

Adrien thought about that for a long time. He tried playing out the scenario in his head but ended up just gazing at the top of his sneakers. They were really close to the tip of Marinette’s flats. If he just moved his foot, their feet would be touching.

Just then, the elevator lurched once more. The cabin only sunk inches, but it made each of the teen’s stomachs do a backflip. The cabin light flickered, casting the two in momentary darkness. Just for a second. Then the frail bulb coughed back to life.

It was a tense moment, but it drew Adrien's eye to a small latch at the top of the elevator. A sturdy iron handle could be cranked to allow maintenance access for repairs to the top of the elevator. Adrien doubted he was strong enough to make it budge. Chat Noir on the other hand…

An idea.

“I got it.” Adrien beamed directly at the moping Marionette. Her eyes were red, but he couldn’t tell if she was crying, or if the cabin light was playing tricks on his eyes.

“What?” Marionette sniffed.

“I could use the miraculous and rescue you. That way we both get out of here, but only one of us has to be discovered!”

The first tear finally broke down Marinette’s cheek, “Adrien… you don’t have to–”

“No, no, really! You're Ladybug, and you’re responsible for all the other superheroes and Miraculouses. Your secret is safe with me, milady.” Adrien could feel his heat racing. Was he really willing to throw away his greatest secret; his one escape from a stress-filled life? Chat never had homework, or fencing practice, or had to be locked away in his room. Yet here he was; willing to throw it all away to save his Ladybug.

Marinette wiped her tears and let a small laugh escape her. She rose to her knees and moved close to Adrien, wrapping her arms around him in a warm hug. She heard Adrien inhale sharply right next to her ear, but eventually his shoulders relaxed and he returned the embrace.

“I’d do it for you, Marinette.” he whispered.

She drew back and looked into his earnest eyes. A knowing grin slid across her face.

“Don’t,” she cooed.

“Wait… what?”

Marinette giggled and rolled back onto her haunches, “You don’t have to do any of that, stupid.”

“I don’t?”

“No! Just text Nino. You still have your phone, right? Just call for help.”

“Oh,” Adrien deflated. His hand slid into his jeans and retrieved his smart phone. He fumbled with the password a few times. He had honestly forgotten about his phone after being lost in thought of his heroic sacrifice. Relieved, if not a bit bashful, Adrien opened his messaging app and recounted his conversation with Nino.

“I mean, that was super sweet of you Adrien. Really. But yeah, you don’t have to do that for me…” Marinette was rising to her feet. She finally mopped up the last of her tears, half-shocked to see her body had any water left in it.

Adrien’s fingers were typing, his brow furrowed at the screen.

“Honestly,” Marinette huffed, “it’s actually better if they do rescue us. Nobody will think we’re superheroes if we’re the ones needing rescuing...”

Adrien was silent. He was sending messages in rapid succession. Finally, he gave up and hit the call button. The phone to his ear, he gave a dark glance at Marinette.

“That’s not going to happen,” he said grimly

“Why not?” Marinette croaked.

Adrien didn’t break eye contact with her. Something was wrong.

“Ms. Bustier has been akumatized.”

little prince's evil brother

i met a prince, a boy, on a planet in the void, somber that he was, life's story he recalled.

"a brother that i had - twin, too be exact - stole from me my joy, ignorance he, asshole, grabbed.

reality's what he left, and i knew, as i was born, that life is pointless. where do i go henceforth?

oh, i want to wring his neck, tie his stupid little legs to a horse's cock and run it over rocks.

a man from your planet, he met him once or twice, he taught him with delight to find the kid's kink to flight.

how to cover one self in a plastic see through bag, like food that you preserve - everything's shiny from inside.

this man, he wrote a book, became the hero of the court, praised he was by all for saying what everyone'd hoped.

a motto of hedonistic mob has taken over the idle world: life has no point, might as well enjoy the moment's joy

but tell me please where does it go if no one has a goal does one even exist?

dumb brother never learned of life deeper than pencil's lead. an elephant inside a snake? fuck, give me a break!

somewhere, as he smiles in the palace of his own esteem, shallow as a lie it is, he gleams over our naive demise.

and now your kind is tied - hands to bed of silky sheets = caressed by hungry flies until forever they fall asleep.

tell me who is evil then, me or that loser's taint? my twin without concent, or one who loves truth's scent?

find a goal, don't be listless, then you'll enjoy all life's distance. everything deep will not seem lost, as, you guessed it, it has a point!

i hope he shits his blue pants - full of it he is more than you'd want. i hope cosmic wind lifts him off his feet with the scarf catching on a tree."

and so was the tale told by this evil boy; prince's lost myth told without being coy.

i asked him what he'll do, what he'll live for, can he spread his word to the human sort?

he did let loose a laugh, said: "you already lost, men will never choose to pay the heavy cost.

i rather spend my remaining beat to chase the rotten rat, slap his fake imagination dead before he ruins another's lot."

me, i didn't write a book - he never told me to, and, really, after all, who wants to hear this crap?

and now, i am back on earth, sitting in my two by three cage, bottle never seems to fill, fuck, does this rhyme anyway?

Reason: Tyre Nichols' Killers Could Be Convicted and Still Get Qualified Immunity

The Cops Who Killed Tyre Nichols Could Be Convicted of Murder and Still Get Qualified Immunity

In his State of the Union address Tuesday, President Joe Biden said that he wants to hold police "accountable." But he neglected to mention the elephant in the room.

(Memphis Police Department; Jacqueline Martin - Pool via CNP / MEGA / Newscom/RSSIL/Newscom)

At his State of the Union address last night, President Joe Biden introduced the family of Tyre Nichols, who was killed in early January by Memphis Police Department (MPD) officers during a traffic stop. The footage, released several weeks later, was brutal and condemned almost universally, reigniting a stagnant debate about how to give victims of state violence some justice after their rights are violated by the government.

"When police officers or departments violate the public's trust," said Biden, "we must hold them accountable."

Absent from his speech was a suggestion for how to do that or how to ensure victims of state malfeasance have some sort of recourse.

That's not because such an avenue doesn't exist. But the issue has become politically radioactive, though it need not polarize people along partisan lines.

During the summer of 2020, the federal government seemed poised to offer some sort of reform to qualified immunity, the legal doctrine that shields local and state government actors—not just police—from facing federal civil suits when they violate someone's constitutional rights, so long as the way they infringe on the Constitution has not been "clearly established" in prior case law. That explains, for example, why two cops who allegedly stole $225,000 while executing a search warrant could not be sued for that act: While we would expect most people to know that was wrong, there was no court precedent that said theft under such circumstances was a constitutional violation.

It's an exacting standard that can defy parody in the ways in which it prevents victims of government abuse from seeking damages in response to government misconduct. In the case of Tyre Nichols, for example, it's quite plausible that the officers who killed him could be convicted of murder and still receive qualified immunity—a testament to how disjointed and unforgiving the doctrine can be.

This is not a hypothetical. Consider the case of Bau Tran, a former police officer in Arlington, Texas, who was indicted in 2019 for criminally negligent homicide after shooting and killing a man as he attempted to flee a traffic stop. (The case is still pending.) Tran received qualified immunity, with a federal court ruling that it was not "so clearly established that every reasonable officer" would have known his precise conduct was unconstitutional. O'Shae Terry, the deceased, initially complied at the traffic stop and then attempted to drive away, prompting Tran to jump on the side of the vehicle and ultimately fire five shots into the car. Perhaps a jury of Tran's peers would have denied Terry's family damages. We'll never know, however, as the family will be legally barred from even asking.

Accountability via the criminal courts is part of the equation. But prosecutors often hesitate to bring such charges, and a charge is not the same thing as a conviction. Should the officer who accidentally shot a 10-year-old boy while aiming at a nonthreatening pet dog face time in prison? Reasonable people may disagree, though it's arguably less reasonable to contend that the mother of that child should not receive compensation for the medical care her son required due to the government's negligence and abuse. Yet that was the reality for Amy Corbitt, who did not get to ask a jury to consider her civil case. The officer who shot her child received qualified immunity (and was not charged with a crime).

Those skeptical of qualified immunity reform typically cite an uneasiness about bankrupting officers. They can take heart that cities indemnify their employees against such claims, meaning the government pays any settlement. It's certainly an imperfect solution in terms of holding individual bad actors accountable, but it gives victims of state abuse an outlet to achieve some semblance of reparation. Make it so any settlements come out of a police pension fund, and you've created a major incentive for departments to excise its consistently problematic actors.

Biden's demurral at broaching the doctrine by name on Tuesday is an indicator of how risky the topic has become after years of criminal justice debate characterized by excess. In the case of qualified immunity, however, an inverse relationship exists between controversy and palatability across ideological lines. There's a reason the doctrine has drawn the ire of Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor, when the two agree on little else. Those on the left may lament the barriers it poses to curbing police abuse. Those on the right may zero in on the doctrine's penchant for greenlighting big-government misconduct, as well as the fact that its genesis came as a result of judicial activism at the highest level. Instead, we're left with a status quo where government protects its own at the expense of the people it serves.

The Hindu God Ganesh Represents Wisdom and Achievement

A couple of years back I eventually achieved somebody I'd known for several years, but only on the Internet. I realized that she generally used the exact same pendant, a strange determine of a man with an elephants mind and wondered why this kind of elegant lady would be therefore connected from what appeared as if a funny plastic figure. When I eventually got circular to wondering her about any of it, I was ashamed of my ignorance. It was initially I'd heard about the Hindu God Ganesh.

To a western attention, Ganesh looks actually weird; a nearly comical determine who has a man's body (and a small paunch) an elephants mind, four hands (at least), only one tusk, and uses his time cycling about on a very small mouse. But Ganesh is not just a clown and to see him as a joke would be to misunderstand centuries of belief and symbolism. He is very respected in the Hindu religion, wherever the exact same qualities, looked at in an alternative way, produce him the embodiment of wisdom and house decor learning, the patron of research and the arts, the remover of obstacles, and thus called on in the beginning of each and every enterprise whilst the god of success. It was as in a way that my pal used her pendant, not plastic but early jade, a talisman designed to bring achievement to every one of her ventures.

The Hindu religion is early and practiced around an extensive region, so that it isn't shocking that there are lots of stories concerning the source of the Hindu gods. In most Hindu traditions, Ganesh is the son of Shiva and his partner Parvati. Hindu's understand four important denominations most of whom regard Parvati and Shiva as important, but also for the Shakta, Parvati, whose name indicates 'she of the mountains' is the Supreme Being and Shiva is her consort. It was Parvati who produced Ganesh.

Parvati is believed to price her privacy, therefore one day when she wished to wash and had no-one about to help keep view on her behalf, Parvati used turmeric substance to make a boy. She offered him living and asked him to make sure you defend her privacy, and this is one way Ganesh was born, without any true treatment from his 'father' Shiva.

When Shiva returned house he wished to go inside, but Ganesh used his Mother's recommendations and stopped him. There clearly was a fight, and Shiva, who is Master of Destruction, stop the boy's head.

When she saw what had occurred, Parvati's rage realized number bounds. She demanded that Shiva amend the specific situation, therefore he sent his servants to bring back the pinnacle of the first living point they found. The pinnacle belonged to an aged elephant they'd discovered just as he was planning to die, therefore Ganesh was cut back alive and given the elephant's head.

By association Ganesh is considered as solid, affectionate and loyal. This kind of large mind can only be considered a indicator of wisdom and intelligence, as the large ears are used to cautiously split the good and the bad and to listen to the demands of supplicants. Such as the elephant Ganesh is effective if provoked, but caring when revealed kindness. Unlike most elephants, Ganesh has only one tusk.

There are many stories of the cause of the broken tusk; typically the most popular is that Ganesh was presented with the work of writing down the legendary tale called the Mahabharata. At one point his pencil unsuccessful and as opposed to end, Ganesh removed his tusk and moved on, featuring he was willing to create a compromise to acquire knowledge. Different, less poetic stories claim that the tusk was removed with a villain who stole it to make ivory earrings for lovely ladies.
