I loved the unedited version of this photo, see previous post, but it's good to try new things. So here I decreased the highlights, darkened the midtones and shadows, and then added a warm toned black and white filter. No AI used as always.

Hello. I've heard you mention several times that End Game was hard for you and that it made it difficult for you to write. I know why End Game was awful for me, but I'm curious to hear your perspective on it. If you don't mind talking about it, could you explain why End Game was so bad for you?

Besides Tony, one of my ultimate comfort characters, dying and honestly setting off my grief and rage responses in a possibly abnormal way which caused me to need to take a step back, there were a lot of issues I had with Endgame.

The time travel mechanics.  Steve’s ending.  Thor’s entire situation (not him being fat, but the way the narrative framed and handled it). The dumbass bullshit with Banner-Hulk.  Natasha dying when Clint would have been the better thematic choice.  The way they unsnapped everyone but it was a half assed solution if that.

Just, there’s a number of problems I have with Endgame and they all compounded into me needing to take time from the MCU for a bit.

Mountain laurel blooming at Midnight Hole located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in western North Carolina. When visiting these places of beauty, please remember to leave no trace and pack out everything you bring in.

Plant of the Day

Friday 29 May 2020

The flowers buds of Kalmia latifolia 'Minuet' (mountain laurel) remind me of the miniature biscuits ‘iced gems’. My friend grows this compact cultivar of evergreen shrub successful in a container where it could reach 1m in height. Here they have placed the plant so that the flower colour is echoed by the neighbouring purple foliage of an Acer palmatum cultivar, a great plant association.
