Gertrude Ederle, first woman to swim the Channel, 1926, (1935).

Gertrude Caroline Ederle (1905-2003) was an American competition swimmer, Olympic champion, and world record-holder in five events. On August 6, 1926, she became the first woman to swim across the English Channel. Among other nicknames, the press sometimes called her "Queen of the Waves".

"To me, the sea is like a person, like a child that I've known a long time. It sounds crazy, I know, but when I swim in the sea I talk to it. I never feel alone when I'm out there." - Gertrude Ederle

Sega DOES own the OG freedom fighters but they can't really use them in the games without retconing alot of stuff since they are so intertwined with Archies plot and characterisation. If someone like Sally were to appear, they'd have to give her a whole new backstory as well as have to rework her whole relationship with Sonic to keep with the new mandates.

Sticks technically is in limbo since she is owned by Ian Flynn and not actually Sega it's self, she appeared in the Sonic Boom comic first and then in the game a couple of months later but the game was a joint effect by Sega and Archie so Sega owns Sonic and Co. While Archie/Ian has partial ownership of the new characters. Sega paid Ian to use Sticks as a guest character for the Olympics but didn't buy her as a character, Ian really wants Sticks to be used in the mainline story which is why he threw a reference to her at the end of Frontiers and he's constantly fighting to have her introduced into the IDW comics.

okay yeah that's what i thought the freedom fighters' situation was. ive NEVER heard about archie/ian flynn owning sticks though. or archie having any involvement with sonic boom outside of the comics. not accusing you of lying or anything this just isn't something ive ever heard before. but i also dont go out of my way to figure out the exact details of the legal ownership situation of every sonic character ever made

i should sleep but there is figure skating to be watched

I have posted about it before and I promise I’m not beating a dead topic. Turns out my cyberstalker did in fact get hold of one of my blog roll posts and followed blogs they previously hadn’t latched onto, they accidentally (or purposely) liked a post of mine from their current hub and I identified @ofthebones as being their OC and the avatar picture that previously outed them once before. DO NOT approach or interact with them, DO NOT make yourself a target because they will do the exact same stuff to you. Obviously I have them blocked and if I get any weirdness I’ll follow my normal pathway of locking down IMs, not allowing anonymous asks and escalating as far as I need to for my blogs to remain a safe space.

Their first blog name was @yzrch and they religiously followed Genesis and Sephiroth blogs to seek roleplays without being upfront about what they wanted until PLATONIC bonds had been established. All along they wanted a version of hardcore not safe for work that I am uninterested in, I personally do not write porn for the sake of porn there needs to be a deep connection for me coupled with writing with a trusted partner. I note this because it seems they have resurfaced again, this is a small post of my own that reflects what I went through at the time and this is another post from a completely unrelated blog which shows what kind of person this cyberstalker is. After the fact they created a new blog under a new name, were just this extremely sweet person to chat with and eventually I gave them my discord because they pretended to be someone else. I had no reason to question this new person until they revealed themselves with a red flag and a new discord avatar that outed who they were. That was a fucking insane lived experience let me tell you.

It’s unfair behaviour to follow someone maliciously, let alone for six years. This person had an irrational reaction to me roleplaying with other people. They were incredibly rude regarding other female OCs my Genesis blog had interacted with and when I said I was no longer interested in writing with them because of their behaviour they went nuclear and created new blog after new blog to keep bypassing blocks so that they could say increasingly nasty shit and it thoroughly ruined my experience with roleplaying Genesis (their obsession) and I took some years off Tumblr to instead write with my best friend on Discord. Slandering other writing partners was the climax, there was weeks to months of them alluding to roleplays I wasn’t comfortable with, I expressed my discomfort, but they kept ignoring that and talking in circles trying to force something. That was six years ago and they still keep tabs on me and evidently want to somehow be back in my circle for reasons unknown.

I felt like I couldn’t connect my blogs and when I finally do that, they resurface and pull their shit again. And for a long time (even now) I felt anxious about forming connections with other writers. Me holding people at arms length isn’t a you-thing it’s a me-thing. Hell, BLOCKING people which is the most rational step in a bad situation is also a crime but also seen as a challenge to some people.

So when blogs post things like please don’t bypass a hard block, it isn’t because all of us are “🥺👉👈 shy” or “we don’t know how to communicate”, it’s because we know what a shitshow looks like and we don’t want a repeat.

More and more people are replacing their gas boilers with heat pumps. Solarpunks are growing crops in their back garden and distributing them to their neighbours.

See you in the future.
