Hirobel: Perfect Song Part 1

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post! Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post.

A few months ago, I wrote a mini-essay on how "Brooklyn Baby" by Lana Del Rey is the perfect ship song for Isabela and Elsa. After I posted my mini-essay, I started thinking of a perfect ship song for Hiro and Mirabel. I thought they would both be Swifties, and favor Taylor Swift's "Taylor Swift", "Fearless" and "Speak Now" albums. As such, I think these songs would be perfect for them:

"Our Song" by Taylor Swift from her debut album

"Fearless" by Taylor Swift from her Fearless album

"Love Story" by Taylor Swift from her Fearless album

"You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift from her Fearless album

"Mine" by Taylor Swift from her Speak Now album

Overall, I think all of those songs would be good fits for a Hirobel fic.

this is actually incredibly sweet

Elsabela: Perfect Song

CW: Drugs, Ice, Lana Del Rey, Plants

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to anyone reading my post! Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post.

While I was doing my homework, I was listening to Lana Del Rey. I would not consider myself a Lana stan, but I do enjoy quite a few of her songs, especially ones from her Ultraviolence album.

While I was listening to Lana Del Rey's 2014 song "Brooklyn Baby", I thought that it would be the perfect song for an Elsabela fanfiction. For textual evidence, I have quoted some lyrics below:

First, "They think I don't understand The freedom land of the seventies"

Both Elsa and Isabela wear costumes inspired by 1970s fashion movement, specifically punk and boho.

In addition, both of them crave freedom and self-expression.

Next, "I think I'm too cool to know ya You say I'm like the ice, I freeze"

Yes, I am stating the obvious.

Third, "They judge me like a picture book By the colors, like they forgot to read"

As they sing about in "Let it Go", "Show Yourself", and "What Else Can I Do", people have seen them solely as beautiful, perfect "proper ladies", when they are actually more than perfect princesses.

Fourth, "But I'm free, ooh-ooh I'm free"

Similar to my third point, both ladies crave freedom.

Fifth, "I'm talking about my generation Talking about that newer nation"

Both of them at least influence major social change in their respective hometowns.

Sixth, "And if you don't like it, you can beat it Beat it, baby You never liked the way I said it If you don't get it, then forget it 'Cause I don't have to f*ck*n' explain it"

While I don't think either of them would be that rude to someone, they both have dealt with people, especially parents/grandparents not understanding them or allowing them to express their true selves.

Second to last, "I've got [flowers] in my hair I get h*gh on hydroponic w**d"

After "What Else Can I Do", Isabela realizes that she can make more than decorative flowers, likely including "medicinal herbs". In addition, I am sure she is interested in learning new gardening techniques.

Last, "Yeah, my [girl]friend's pretty cool But [she]'s not as cool as me"(Lana Del Rey, Barrie-James O'Neill)

They are both cool ladies, especially in the eyes of their younger sisters.

Ironically, according to Matthew Jacobs for Huffington Post, Lana Del Rey's song "Brooklyn Baby" is a piece of satire about 2010s-era New York City hipsters and hipster culture. (Jacobs). To state the obvious, Isabela and Elsa are not 2010s-era NYC hipsters, at least in canon and the majority of fanfictions, as their stories are set in small towns in the 19th/20th century, and they are not pretentious or elitist about their personal tastes, which people think of hipsters being.

Overall, the song encapsulates their relationship and personal lives well.

So if Antonio annoys anyone, they can respond w/ "ok boomer"?

When u realise Antonio is literally a boomer

Wanda Maximoff has been leaked for the Marvel's Avengers game, the one starring Kamala Khan. I have no idea if they've cast an actress yet but I think the Scarlet Witch community should push for a Romani actress to lend her voice and likeness to the character.

It may also be a good time to reach out to actresses such as Alina Serban, Franciska Farkas, Mihaela Dragan, Alba Flores, and Simonida Selimovic to make them aware that there is a chance for representation.

It may not fix the MCU mistakes. In fact, it won't change the MCU at all, but imagine a Romani actress actually being cast as Wanda in a popular video game. Imagine finally having the Scarlet Witch we deserve in popular media, portrayed the way she deserves. The way the fans who Wanda represents deserve.

I don't have instagram or twitter anymore, but I think it's very important to reach out and campaign for this.

Every possible version of Wanda should be Roma. Do not let them cast another white actress.

The game is Marvel's Avengers, its made by Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics. Specifically, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montréal, Square Enix Europe, Nixxes Software BV, Crystal Northwest.

Please. If you care, now is the time to make change.

New Fanfiction Changes: Titles

Good morning, afternoon, or evening.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my post.

Earlier, I have posted about my new black widow fanfiction, and how I have made some edits to it, and in the process changed it up.

One of the most notable changes I have made is to the title.

Originally, I had planned to release one fic, titled "The Widows Caretaker". However, I have changed my plans, to instead release a series of fics, to explains where it all starts and where it all ends up. As such, I have changed the titles, so they flow together in a series.

I have changed it to the red medic series.

The Red Medic is the protagonist Olgas vigilante alias.

As of now, here are the stories, in chronological order(in terms of setting):

Red Guardian and the Red Medic

Red Medic: Part 1

Red Medic: Part 2

Red Medic and the Red Widow

TLDR: "The Widows Caretaker" is now titled as the "Red Medic" series.

In my next post, I will explain changes I made to the setting. If you are a fan of the TV series Yellowstone, you will be excited to hear about this story!

Thank you for taking the time out of your day or night to read my post. Have a good day or night.

If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...

Start helping with citizen science projects

The Conversation

Explainer: what is citizen science?

Public participation in science is increasing, and citizen science has a central part in this. It is a contribution by the public to researc

What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!

You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases

Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.

Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.

Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.

Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.

Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.

Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

--

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.

Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help

Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.
