#origin?

This is the flag of Grou, a town in the Dutch province of Fryslân. Can someone explain the symbolism behind it and the flag's origin?

I rewatched Beetlejuice today and it made me curious if there was any fic that told Beetlejuice’s origin story.  I didn’t find one, but, to be fair, I didn’t look thoroughly.  I found lots and lots and lots of porn, though.

Saw this on Amazon, does anyone know the origin?

In These Times

And so awake.

I wrought from grains of sand in the gaps between the stars- I need not be a god.

The clouds smear across the sky now.

I have seen the oceans rise have watched the great glaciers crumble. The waves lose all their freezing bluster on my shores and their creatures die.

I have witnessed great storms have watched them sweep across these lands seen fires and floods, winds, earthquakes; I have watched great cities fall.

I have seen wars seen governments slaughter their own people; I watch famine and disease run rampant and behold as thousands poison themselves, desperate.

Why should I want to be a god in these times? Why should I need to? What more could I ever know      and what justice could I find to inflict?

No. I know too many things already. Leave me to my bed and move elsewhere with your misery.

The bones of your enemies will make you strong you knew this truth, knew all along that waiting graceless, faithless, faceless waiting in the dark to steal their strength and feast, a morbid meal on each and every of their failures this would be the best of cures.

“Power is not a mistake in which the powerful can be educated, it’s not a misunderstanding, and it’s not a disagreement. Justice is not won by moral argument, or exertion, or individual transformation, and it’s not won by spiritual epiphany - It’s won by taking power away from the powerful and dismantling the institutions.”
