If I had the opportunity, I'd write a very weird crossover with Fate/Stay Night. Mark Twain wrote a book called A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, about an engineer -Hank Morgan, Sir Boss - who somehow ended in the Arthurian Britain.

So, yeah, it's kind of an Isekai, but it'd be Saber reminiscing in a moment about her friend Sir Boss that talked a lot about the power of technology and how different his homeland was from Camelot, and then she'd get marveled at the world Sir Boss foresaw.

#fate/stay night #mark twain #a connecticut yankee in king arthur's court #i think that could be an interesting thing #but i didnt finish fsn #and i kinda let fgo aside #i can see it being a fgo event #like solving some pseudosingularity #involving saber helping sir boss spirit to move on #and itd also gove something for her to do #since shes so much in rhe background in fgo #and merlin being nasty about him haha

u ever think about how hunter would learn about wolves in the human realm and then have the windows open, hear a familiar, distant sound and go oh! oh! wolves in connecticut! wolves in connecticut! and it's just the siren of an ambulance

#hunter toh #the owl house #it's a canon event we can't help him :( luz is laughing and he is doing his best not to be devastated :(#the excited; thrilled press of his ear to the window mesh / trying to get as close as possible to hear it? to be Sure?#and then the continual awooo of it and just going oh. oh. medical transport worm. gotcha. gotcha. i knew that.#him? excited? dunno what u mean. that was fine he's not disappointed or anything #it's living near hospital lore™. the constant vibe of it.#a silly boy !!!!!!!!!!!#after a brief google search i now am aware there are no wolves in connecticut. can you imagine his betrayal.#hunter: u could live anywhere and you chose??? a place with no natural wildlife???#luz: wolves aren't natural town wildlife. they're an apex predator who like to live away from cities bc People #hunter: well at least they've got something good going for them! it's what they Deserve!!#and he'd be right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doors open at 6PM! Saturday February 10th.

Mingle and grab snacks and libations ahead of the showing of shorts at 6:30PM:

JELLY BEAN (14 min): Reyzl, a queer woman navigating the perplexing world of dating apps, decides to let algorithms dictate her romantic fate. When the first date turns disastrous, Reyzl faces an unexpected opportunity for intimacy on the second chance. Will courage prevail?

BOTTOMS (91 min): After they accidentally injure their high school’s star quarterback Jeff by hitting him with a car, transforming them from awkward outcasts to overnight celebrities, best friends PJ and Josie concoct an elaborate lie about having spent time in a juvenile correction facility over the summer, and with their equally-awkward friend Hazel and teacher Mr G, they start a self-defense club for women in an attempt to lose their virginities to Brittany and Isabel, their cheerleader crushes.

All films are R rated.

Small announcement, I’m like 90% sure that Mojo 8085 will be in New Hampshire at an airshow this weekend to compete in some scrimmage matches.

I will not be there and fairly certain not a single member of pit crew will be there because the first the drive coach told us about it was last week. So RIP Emil. Not waking up at 2 AM to leave for New Hampshire the day before my first AP Calc test after learning about this comp very last minute.

If anyone sees Mojo say hi to drive team and sorry to Emil for me.

#frc #frc robotics #first robotics #robotics #mojo 8085 #8085 #pit crew #drive team #first robotics competition #drive coach #not sure why we are doing an event in New Hampshire when we’re a southern Connecticut team #or why pit crew didn’t even get a heads up this was even being considered #RIP Emil #Emil is our robot btw #not sure I ever said that on here

Like the five elements that construct the universe, these handful of artists are coming together to harmonize an intense sonic experience that builds up the energy the room, and breaks down our expectations. Throw away everything you thought you knew about “good music” and prepare to enter a nu world of sound. Built by artists, sustained by audience: let’s generate a new haven together!

The Magic of Courting Flutes @ Institute for American Indian Studies Feb. 17

The Institute of American Indian Studies at 38 Curtis Road in Washington has a wonderful way to end Valentine’s Day week. On Saturday, February 17, beginning at 1 p.m., Ojibway artist, and musician Allan Madahbee will explain the cultural significance and demonstrate the hauntingly beautiful sound of the Native American courting flute. A highlight for participants is to learn why the courting…

First in Flight, First to Fight

A/N: This is my first bit of creative writing in a while, so I’m probably pretty rusty atm, but figured if I don’t just start posting, then I’ll never let myself by holding some standard that will forever rise. The eternal rivalry between OH and NC is too fun to pass up anyways. Any suggestions/notes are appreciated!

Word Count: 700

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The question that prompted the argument could have been considered innocent enough if it was posed by anyone other than Florida: “Who was really the first state to fly?” Both Ohio and North Carolina had been sitting around; Carolina had his feet kicked up as he munched on an apple, while Ohio was reclining and reading a book.

When asked about it later, Florida said the statehouse had been too quiet for his liking, and North Carolina and Ohio just happened to be in the same room while he was talking to Louisiana nearby. It was practically begging to happen. As soon as the sentence left Florida’s mouth, the states in the kitchen fell silent apart from the audible sigh that sounded much like Gov.

North Carolina broke the silence and made the first move, scoffing as he said, “Well, of course it’s me. The Wright brothers flew in Kitty Hawk,” which was apparently the spark that lit Ohio’s fuse.

“Oh really? Remind me again, where were they from?” He answered with his face still in his book. A few sets of eyes started peeking from behind the door frames, curious as to which way the argument would turn. Sometimes they would “agree to disagree,” but others could be yelling matches that kept up for hours.

“Just because they were from Ohio don’t mean you’re the first to fly,” Carolina held, rolling his eyes as he set the mostly forgotten apple he was eating on the table. “If it hadn’t been for the Kill Devil Hills, the Wright brothers wouldn’t have left the ground.”

“But they still made the plane in Dayton,” Ohio pressed, setting the book aside and turning to Carolina. “You’re just the last stepping stone of the journey.”

By now, most of the states had gathered at the doors of the room. Florida started going around taking bets and running the pool while Louisiana kept Gov from breaking the fight. Both states in the debate had turned to each other, still seated but prepared to get up at a moment’s notice.

“It was only proven possible after coming to me. If they hadn’t, they wouldn’t have left the ground,” Carolina countered, voice growing a bit louder as he spoke. Ohio stood up at that, with Carolina rising to meet him, voice matching Carolina’s volume as he said, “Everything was still designed here. Dayton was where the first plane was born.” A murmur of excitement swept through the onlookers, some already exchanging money when a new voice pierced the room. “Both of you are wrong anyway. Whitehead’s got the Wright brothers beat by two years.”

A new silence covered the room as every set of eyes turned to the source of the statement, falling on Connecticut who looked confident in his remark as he leaned against a door frame. The new silence was charged as eyes shifted between the old rivals and the new competitor. It held for a second. Then a minute. Then Ohio and North Carolina glanced at each other, nodding as their eyes met, before fully turning toward Connecticut.

To the rest of the states, it was honestly startling how well the two states argued together. Both immediately tore into Connecticut like they had been preparing for weeks. Their combined fury created a rant that lasted 10 minutes, tearing into the lack of witnesses, evidence, and publicity. Once they were done, the pair strode out side by side, leaving a sputtering Connecticut in their wake.

When they stepped out the door and onto the porch, North Carolina and Ohio looked at each other and started laughing, falling to the ground and holding one another’s shoulders as they gasped for air. “That never gets old,” Ohio said as he wiped away the tears in his eyes.

“Did you see Connecticut though? Boy looked so full of himself, actin’ all cocky. Seein’ him gaping like a fish was the icing on top,” Carolina cackled, sending the two back into their laughing fit. When they finally calmed down a bit, they leaned shoulder to shoulder, catching their breath with quiet giggles still escaping into the afternoon wind.

Backstage at event organizing

Our host for weekly Open Mic has Covid. This is the first week so it was basically worst possible week for it. (he feels okay but tested positive after a work trip, so staying quarantined)

I’m subbing in along with my partner in crime. With our power combined, we make one functional host!

E. has never run a soundboard but used to do lighting for large stage shows so its very similar. She’s got our host on speed dial in case we have a more complex sound issue. It’s not a huge space so just a small board to run.

We’ll see if we can get the manage to stream audio to the Pride discord or not. The sound quality from a phone might be too low and we’re not quite sure about how to set up a direct input right now. That might be a job for when S. returns. We’ll give it a good try though!

I got all the paperwork duties of converting host’s general list of announcements for E. to read into actual cue cards with stage direction. Most of the directions just being point at staff. You want to sign up for X other event? point at that person!

I also got the clipboard and job of making sure everyone has a title card in front of them with name and info so when we’re staring at photos from the event later there’s a NAME at the bottom of the photo instead of going “we saw 20 people, who dis???”

My fancy spreadsheet also has places for all their contact info so when we post pictures and video later we can link to their instagram and bandcamp and all that stuff. I have a write on one but can actually enter it in sheet on my phone at event.

I also get to set up our badge system where folks get colored cards to flip through and display.

everybody gets a set of three. Which works both for covid protocals so people with higher risk profiles can request distance and also for anyone that’s got mental health or sensory issues. want to enjoy the music but have some sensory issues so you need less input, stick it on red. are you shy and have trouble initiating conversations but love to talk? stick it on green!

(and then my homework is disinfecting everything after)

We might be stuck as host again next week depending on when S. gets done quarantining. and both of us get to test afterward as well. We’ve got good ventilation and masked up, but gotta do all the parts to contain spread. It’s like stacking swiss cheese. each portion has some potential risks, stack ‘em all together, you can cover the holes in one method with protection from a second.
