Today We Honor A Tribe Called Quest

Queens, New York natives Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Jarobi, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad of Brooklyn, formed A Tribe Called Quest in 1985. The group is one of hip-hop’s most legendary, beloved and revered groups of all time.

Easily recognized for their unique approach to rap music by employing jazz infused soundscapes to Afro centric rhymes, ATCQ was largely responsible for the popularity of a new genre that dominated the East Coast sound of the early 1990s.

Blue!

act ii: COWBOY CARTER 3.29

Angela Carter, The Erl-King (from The Bloody Chamber)

1943 Carter Ink Company

Dixie and her babies.

Carter is a big sleepy handsome man!

Would any of the kids sun and moon take care of offer there blood to them when they get older 16 18 or in there 20s and would they except the donation or decline it?

Carter's offered her blood a few times to Sun and Moon. She wanted to help them in any way she can and show her gratitude for their kindness and for taking her, and the others, in to protect and raise

They never accepted her offers though and always turned her down. Even when she asked if they would when she turns 18, they still refused.

Sun and Moon don't expect the children under their care to offer up their blood for them. Even when they turn into adults they will never bear their fangs towards them

Twenty years old and still purrfect.

Love this adorable, precious, completely spoiled old man so much.

absolutely loved the roast of ryan bergara segment

@zetallis suggested the cute idea of her OC's Ellis and Carter going to the dog park with Polaris and Yildun! I thought it was a really fun one and wanted to draw it ^^ Yildun is a little suspicious of the two, but, Polaris is having a fun time! XD

Today We Honor The Voice Luther Vandross

Luther Vandross’ voice and distinct singing style led to not only monumental success, but an instant recognition when you hear him singing–through your stereo, car radio, on TV or in a movie.

Coupled with that voice, was Luther’s unique ability to write and sing about love and the shared emotions we all feel in that search and enjoyment of love. Love of family, friends, the special someone–all were themes Luther explored with his music regularly, reaching many, becoming a staple in the most joyous moments of people’s lives through his songs for the last two generations.

Luther had been in entertainment for 35 years. From his introduction to the world as a singer on the first season of PBS’s Sesame Street in 1969 to winning four Grammy Awards in 2004, Luther was a permanent and dynamic force in popular music. He crossed boundaries, starting with his earliest success as a background vocalist and arranger for David Bowie, Bette Midler, Barbara Streisand, Donna Summer, Carly Simon, Judy Collins, J. Geils Band, Ben E. King, Ringo Starr and Chic. He produced records for Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick and Whitney Houston.

For almost 25 years, from 1981 to 2005, Luther dominated the American R+B music charts like no other artist before or since. In that span Luther released eight (8) #1 R&B albums, seven (7) #1 R&B singles and another five (5) Top 20 R&B singles. He achieved crossover status with eight (8) Billboard Top 10 albums, including reaching #1 with 2003’s Dance With My Father; and another five (5) Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 singles.

Luther received 31 Grammy Award nominations, winning 8 times. Additionally, Luther won eight (8) American Music Awards, including Favorite Soul/R&B Male Artist seven (7) times. via luthervandross.com

Snow deliveries!

Percy Jackson is actually the definition of a grey character. So is Annabeth. And I think people should just let Annabeth have questionable thoughts, do that questionable things. Let Annabeth unfairly behave towards Rachel. Let Percy manipulate Bob and even Nico arguably. Percy's actions alone can look not right but it doesn't have to be heroic as long as it is justifiable and it is. Percy is not a plain hero like Jason or Carter. I believe that the best quality of Percy is that grey character. Percy is actually the heaviest anti hero hero written and it is what does Percy a very likeable head character. Percy does the right thing, but not because it is right. Not because of honor. Not because of rules. That is why Jason kinda was a classic hero type and a lot of people didn't Vibe with Jason like they did with Percy. While Jason does all things for duty, Percy just does it for love and loyalty. Annabeth also, is, someone like that. I love Annabeth's questionable side as it should. Let the person who is most associated in the series with grey act grey. Let Percy be the anti hero. Rick, come on now.
