Ponder my son, long luscious legs

He is a creation of my own design, a creature indeed.

I added a worm on a string to his stuffing so he rattles when shaken

Long Luscious Legs I hope you are absolutely busting down every dance floor in a 30 mile radius with those groovy shoes!!! I'm rattling you in appreciation

Folklore of the World

Long before the world knew of names and sciences, there were the Ancients. The Ancients, beings of immersive powers and greater knowledge, placed their chips on the metaphorical tables, testing the new world.

Among them was Earth, ruler of the lands and grassy plans, everything the beings walked upon her domain. She had ruled since she had been created, always watching her creatures and leading them with a gentle, yet firm, hand.

On her right was the Sky, his might and valor known through the cosmos, as he had saved the Earth when they first spawned, although how he had done so was unclear to all but them. They coupled, and were inseparable, even with the great distance between them.

On her left was Vast, the being that hovered outside of her world and Sky's domain, a black abyss of pinpricks of light. Stars, Vast dubbed them, for they shimmered and shone, each blessed with a name only Vast seemed to know.

Across from her was Air, who tended to play messenger between herself and Sky often. Wind was at her command, a simple breath and the world was ravaged in twisters and cyclones, her power fearful. It was also delightful, cool breezes and gentle gusts reminding the world of the calmness of Air.

Beside Air was the fifth and final Ancient, that of the under. They had no name, and never claimed to want one for themself. They only wished to command the souls of the once-living beings of the world, and the multitude of horrors that lay dormant under Earth's land. No one was brave enough to say no.

Together, they created. Together, they raized. Together, they formed anew. Among them, a new generation grew and prospered on the land of Earth, controlling their powers and helping the mortals Earth called her own. 

Yet Vast was alone with the stars, and in pain from constantly over-expanding to compensate for the sheer amount of domain he held. He could not continue on such a destructive path, lest Vast be no more.

Worried, the Earth Mother spoke of her plan to assist Vast, to help him. The rest of the Ancients believed it to be a sound plan, an idea to save Vast. Abruptly, Vast stood, shaking his head at the council of Ancients. He left them, his last words ringing in the chamber.

"You will regret it."

Film Of The week !!

Big Eyes (2014)

I love love love this film and i love love love margaret keane, she is my most favourite artist of all time. When i was doing my gcses in art, my plan was to do all my work inspired from margaret keane but then my school did something stupid and we had to be between 4 different themes and work from that which was mega boring.

But i do love this film, Well done Tim Burton. I watched this when I was 9 and when Christoph Waltz came on screen i was like "ooh i wanchu" and then he was evil and i was like "NO-!"

"I wanchu"

And ever since i have loved christoph waltz. I also seem to have a crush on every character he's protrayed ever and yes that includes the bog king from epic (is that they're called? Or is it bog trolls? And no I'm mot getting mixed up with the box trolls) also just to mention, Lana Del Reys most underrated song ever was made for this movie. Like i love it so much, when it was playing during the courtroom scene ong. I will never get to relive that moment ever again. Just a masterpiece 10/10

Fish of the Week #2: The Pilot Fish

The pilot fish (Naucrates ductar) is a member of the trevally, or jackfish, family. It is a widely distributed fish, found in warm/tropical open seas.

It is known to follow ships, and many ancient people believed that it would navigate a ship towards its desired course.

Many are often found near sharks, rays, or sea turtles, eating ectoparasites (parasites that latch onto the skin of a host) and their larger companion’s leftovers.

Despite being seen with many other marine creatures, pilot fish appear to have a more mutualistic relationship with the white-tip reef shark in particular. It benefits them both because the fish is protected and the shark is free from parasites.

Younger or smaller pilot fish in particular are known to swim into sharks’ mouths to clean their teeth.

Fun facts:

It can temporarily change color when excited, with its black bands turning into a lighter blue or silvery shade.

The pilot fish’s name may have come from one of three things. They swam near ships when they were near ports and were believed to guide or “pilot” the captain towards them. They were also believed to lead sharks to their food and ships, whales, or swimmers to safety.

In Greek myth, a sailor named Pompilus helped a nymph Ocyrhoe flee from Apollo. He moved her to Samos and Apollo punished him by turning him into a fish.

Pancrates of Arcadia, a Greek poet, stated that it was a sacred fish to Poseidon and that a fisherman (called Epopeus) ate one and paid for it with his life.

This was a far more interesting one than the hickory shad. I especially liked the myths I read about it.
