Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off. But if you don't have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you.
- Amelia Earhart
When iconic aviatrix Amelia Earhart “the Queen of the Air” met Hollywood icon, Mary Pickford “the Muse of the Movies”.
95 years ago... Aviatrix Amelia Earhart
In 1928, aviatrix Amelia Mary Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. As a passenger she kept the flight log onboard a Fokker Trimotor from Newfoundland USA to South Wales GB, a flight lasting 20 hours and 40 minutes.
In 1932, Earhart became the first woman to fly solo over the Atlantic Ocean, piloting a single engine Lockheed Vega 5B. She flew from Newfoundland to Culmore in Northern Ireland, a solo flight lasting 14 hours, 56 minutes!
On both flights, Earhart relied on a white dial two-register Longines single pusher pilot chronograph. In 2010, this (still running) historic Longines chronograph was flown in space onboard the International Space Station by female NASA astronaut Shannon walker spending 163 days 7 hours in space!
An amazing initiative by the " Ninety-Nines " international organization of women pilots.

Pansexual & Agender, and is perfectly fine with any pronouns
He's a descendant of a plague doctor doll (links for context)
Camilla got him his iconic chili pepper shirt as a gift for their anniversary
He and Camilla have 4 children and all of them would hatch from eggs. 3 of them are little feathered plague doctor beasties like Gonzo (one black, one grey, one white), but they act way more avian like their mom (chirping, flapping, pecking etc) . the 4th would look mostly like Gonzo, but covered in bright blue feathers and would be a total daredevil like Gonzo. Gonzo laid the 4th egg.
The black feathered one is named Houdini, the grey feathered one is named Keaton, and the white feathered one is named Earhart. The blue feathered one is named Macguffin (Guffie for short)

[Recollection] Elle's (Asteria) room video 1 (for my diary)
Well, Haze's plot is near it's culmination, this Elle is a walking case of brain damage dealer to everyone who hasn't been reading 6th chapter of Asteria even briefly... all is of course canon now, unless there are some people who would STILL insist the Rays is not canon whatsoever. Sorry, guys... IT IS, but with ALL THE REST of the multiverse shared lore and not only Tales-limited.
Today in 1935, Amelia Earhart was the first to fly solo from Hawaii to California.(why leave Hawaii, I’ll never know?)
To me, proving you can do great things and be fashionable while doing them.
Or as Amelia suggested this important lesson: “Never interrupt someone doing something you said couldn’t be done.”
also i renamed my psyduck, yanagita kunio was a japanese author who collected stories about kappas (the japanese kami). golduck is slightly based on a kappa, so i thought it was a fitting name
