He directed the US Public Health Mission for malaria control. He found time to construct and operate the first radio station, launched other profitable businesses including hotels and restaurants, and continued doing public health work for the Liberian government.

He wrote six novels with all but the first one published posthumously. They were: An Eye For An Eye, Cobra Venom, Bullets Are My Business, Death on the Rocks, Never Kill a Cop, and A Taste For Blood.

He was survived by his wife, two daughters, and a son. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

This Week’s Horrible-Scopes

It’s time for this week’s Horrible-Scopes! So for those of you that know your Astrological Signs, cool! If not, just pick one, roll a D12, or just make it up as you go along. It really doesn’t matter. Better yet! Check out “Heart of the Game, Fredonia” and see if they can sell you those D12’s with the symbols on them. Tell them “Shujin Tribble” sentcha. And “Hail, Hail, Fredonia!” Home of the Blue Devil!

Last week’s theme of Regional Desserts superseded the ACTUAL asked-for theme. So we’re finally catching up to it. So this week you’re all getting something Naughty. Good luck explaining these to Santa before the 25th. 

Aries 

We know you did something in middle school that you still regret. You pulled a prank on a teacher that made them leave for the day. They were a good teacher, a nice person, never raised their voice to anyone. And what did you do? We don’t need to say what you did, but you still remember. And guess what? They’re dead now. You can’t even apologize to them and ask for their forgiveness. So This Week… Ask Santa to take your regrets and deliver them to that teacher and beg forgiveness. Santa can deliver coal to Darkseid on Apokolips, he can get a message to the Afterlife.

Taurus 

In most areas there are laws in place to prevent people from impersonating an Officer of the Law; you know - a Police Officer. You thought you were safe putting on hoof boots and horns and draping a sack over your shoulder, but Santa Knows All. And Santa let Krampus know you’ve been impersonating him to scare little kids for fun. So This Week… You better not shout, you better not cry. ‘Cause it’s not gunna do you any good. Expect a visit from the Krampus JUST as you next fall asleep. There’s not enough coffee in Brazil to keep you awake long enough to beg forgiveness.  

Gemini  

You keep playing video games for fun, but you keep playing in Invincible Mode. You know how upsetting it is to all those other characters, watching you just walk down a hallway, flick a finger, and cave in an enemy’s skull while being riddled with bullets or arrows or knives? You know how demoralizing it is for all those enemies, who are just trying to do their jobs, when they hear you’re just walking up and ending them all like you’re some better dressed Dr. Manhattan? Well This Week… Put yourself in THEIR shoes and see what it’s like. Play X-Com on Ironman Settings and see how YOU like it.

Cancer Moon-Child 

Word on the street is that you’re planning on recreating the Christmas Dinner at the Bo’ Ling Chop Suey Palace from “A Christmas Story”. Well then, we've got bad news for you. You’ll still be able to go there since the building still exists… but it’s in Toronto, it’s now a French Restaurant named “Batifole”, and they’re closed from Sunday December 17th until Tuesday December 26th. So good luck finding a reservation. This Week… Stop grabbing and molesting every one of those Leg Lamps that you find. Especially the Night Light versions. That’s just being creepy. 

Leo 

You’ve been trying to be good, sure. But we all know you’re just doing it to try and trick Santa into thinking you’re better than you really are. Look, you’ve tried this for a whole year and look where it’s gotten you; to the Home Stretch and the devil on your shoulder is getting ready to take over this show and cause some absolute chaos. You need an outlet and you’re gunna fail JUST before Santa loads up. So This Week… weigh the possible outcomes between just being an agent of chaos verses murdering the Devil on your Shoulder. Will Santa find one more palatable than the other? Only one way to find out.

Virgo 

You are the absolute worst, Virgo. Over this last year you’ve bought a new Digital SLR Camera, Macro Lens, Ring Light… and all kinds of Elf on the Shelf dolls. We know what you’ve been doing - setting up a naughty OnlyFans account where you’ve been posting lewd pictures of him with Barbie and Fluttershy and Cobra Commander and Woody from Toy Story. You might be earning money from people who know exactly what they’re paying in to, but for Pete’s Sake that’s just Twisted! So this Week… Stop dipping Barbie into little vats of Liquid Latex to give her a full-body catsuit. You’re an irredeemable degenerate - Santa’s writing YOUR listing in Sharpie Marker, NOT pencil.  

Libra 

You want to burn down the Gävlebocken in Sweden but you know you’re gunna get caught, right? Well now we know why you were taking all those shifts working a farm. You learned that hay can spontaneously ignite if it’s baled wet! Well the joke’s on you! You learned how to set it on fire, but never learned how to speak Swedish to be on the bailing workline. So This Week… Explain to Santa how you learned all that great organic chemistry but didn’t bother to learn another language. 

Scorpio 

You were actually planning on having goose for Christmas Dinner! How great! You also remembered what we said about hunting Canada Goose being regulated but still legal. You know what? That wasn’t so good for you. Sure, you shot her fair-and-square, so to speak. But holding up Two Shotguns like you were operating an Anti-Aircraft Battery and taking her out that way? That was just insulting. So This Week… you better HOPE the Canadian Feathered Air Forces and Subterranean Intelligence Networks find you first, because they will be infinitely kinder than the Armoured Amphibious Moose Herds. OH! And Spoilers… There is no depth underwater you can get to that THEY can’t! 

Sagittarius 

Santa’s on to you. Intentionally being bad to get coal worked the first time, sure. But getting several pieces just so you could send them into a Hydraulic Compressor YouTube Channel and asking them to make you a diamond? Really? You didn’t think Santa would see that about to happen a mile away? He’s going to teach you a lesson in humility this year if you don’t clean up your act. So This Week… Buy a citrus juicer. At this rate your stocking’s going to be filled with Oranges this year. Might as well make the best of it.

Capricorn 

You thought you were being helpful during the Black Friday shopping you went to. You thought that moving the monogrammed coffee mugs around to spell out different things would be fun, maybe even charming. But you didn’t know that Bernard, the seasonal new-hire for that section, got written up for it, did you? He tried to get a little extra money and discounts to be able to get some cute things for his pets this season. So This Week… reflect on how long an African Grey Parrot will live and how many years it’s going to hold a grudge on Bernard. Maybe ask Santa to change your gift to a cuttlefish and send it to Bernard’s bird  instead.

Aquarius 

Remember how you tried so very hard to stay up all night to catch Santa in the act? How you were given that Polaroid Instamatic Camera and you planned on getting all the evidence you needed to prove he was real? Do you know how dumb you were as a kid? He would have to spend AT MOST Six Ten-thousandths of a second per house. The shutter speed on that camera is One Two-Hundred-Fiftieth of a second. Accounting for human reaction times you’d never be able to get anything more than a transparent red smear of colour on film. So this week… Send a letter of apology to Mrs. Clause. Tell her that you weren’t trying to blackmail her husband and beg forgiveness. She’s a nice old lady. Maybe she’ll forgive you and get you off the naughty list.  

Pisces  

You grew up with siblings but always resented each other. You thought your parents like them better, but you were wrong. Your parents didn’t like any of you. It was just a ploy, penance on their part, to make up for all the bad things they did in THEIR childhoods. You see how Santa brings THEM gifts year after year? It’s for putting up with you all. So This Week… Get a pet that requires actual affection and show some. Learn how to be nicer and maybe Santa will find it in his heart to forgive you. Sea Monkeys don’t count!.

And THOSE are your Horrible-Scopes for this week! Remember if you liked what you got, we’re obviously not working hard enough at these. BUT! If you want a better or nastier one for your own sign or someone else’s, all you need to do to bribe me is just Let Me Know! These will be posted online at the end of each week via Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Discord and BLUESKY.

Cloaked

For  bellacardoza16. Destro tries to give Baroness some points on disguises.

“...these sensors here...and...aye.”

At Destro’s final touch, her arm disappears. Baroness jumps.

“Did that hurt?”

“No.” She gives a little laugh. “No, it startled me.”

She moves her arm back and forth. From the shoulder up, her arm swings, but everything below the elbow is invisible.

No, not quite invisible. Just at the edges, the air looks wrong. Only enough to tip off someone already looking for it, but as she curls and uncurls her fingers, there’s a definite shimmer to the air.

“It’s like you’ve bent the light around it.”

“That’s the essence of it. Liquid fiber optics. As close to invisibility as you’ll find, short of actual magic.”

Baroness focuses on a spot a foot away from her face, marveling at her invisible hand.

“Cloaking that’s effective on the human eye as much as on radar,” she muses. “We could march a thousand android troopers up through Times Square, and the only thing people would notice would be the noise.”

Invisible fingers press against Destro’s chest. His tie slips out of his jacket and floats in the air, waving like a dancing cobra. Baroness laughs like a child. Destro slides his own hand down his tie and grasps a handful of air that feels like warm fingers.

“A concept, my dear. But so far the technology has only been applied to human suits.”

She stops playing with his tie and looks surprised.

“’Been applied’? This wasn’t in the prototype you showed me before?”

“Aye, it was. An earlier model.”

“Why didn’t I see it then?”

Playful pouting. She runs her visible hand up and down her missing arm, looking for the sensors.

“The controls for that version were located in the lower half of the helmet,” he explains. “And you have what we in the armor business call, ‘a delicate little lady skull.’“

He slips down and presses the sensors by practiced feel. Her arm blips back into view.

“Your jaw didn’t come down low enough to activate it.”

She gives him a wry look, but can’t hold it long. The grin is back as her shows her the buttons, and she flips her arm off and on a few times.

“Here:”

He manipulates the flat sensors, flush with the rest of the fabric, woven of nanocrystals, soft as microspun cotton. The natural silvery tone goes invisible, then comes back blue, red, green, striped. He scrolls through a few basic geometric patterns. Baroness purrs in delight. She follows his motions, getting the hang of the controls. She settles on black that fades to bloody red at her fingers. The ferocity in her smile raises the hairs between Destro’s shoulder blades, but brings a matching smile under his mask.

“Wonderful...But why?” she asks. “Isn’t invisibility the best camouflage? Why the rest?”

She touches each of her bloody fingers one at a time against the tip of her thumb. He’s going to have to let her shoot something to get rid of the excess energy.

“More traditional camouflage may help if the optics become battle damaged. As I said: this is for human use. There’s times it’s too crowded to barrel around unseen. Invisible people can’t hail taxis. Or ambulances. Better to change a face and fall off the radar completely.”

“We have biovipers and android troopers. The ninja can take care of himself. What human troops are you expecting to cloak?”

He lifts her gaze away from her hand with a finger under her chin. He strokes her cheek, the bridge of her nose, the curve of her eyebrow.

“I’m working on suspending the cells in a silicone solution that mimics skin. I know you don’t like contacts, but - “

“Wait a moment.”

She shakes out of his hand.

“You want to cloak me?”

“You’d be very comfortable. You’ve felt the fabric. The silicone is merely a stopgap - “

“People pay Cobra good money to be associated with this face. You want to hide it?”

Her smile is still there, but her eyes are sharp.

“I don’t want your pretty face shot off.”

“Who is going to?”

“Nastya. You know the Joes are getting closer.”

Her mouth turns into a hard line and her eyes go flat and closed off.

“I’m handling it.”

“I know ye are. And I just want ye to be safe doing so.”

“And this will keep me safer than a laser rifle?”

Both of their accents thickening with emotion trying to stay hidden.

“This gives you another option. A way out, a safe retreat - “

The look she flashes him. He holds up his hands as if warding off a physical strike.

“An option,” he repeats. “To change your face and walk away. If you need to.”

“And you’d know all about hiding faces.”

Her words smack like a blow and stun the both of them. She claps her non-gloved hand over her mouth, but the venom is out. Their wide eyes meet, but neither one can speak. She breaks first, turning, tightening in on herself like a fist. Half of him wants to comfort her distress; the other half is stunned cold.

“Ya...ya ne...I didn’t...”

Mean it? I’m sorry? What’s the right word here? What’s the accurate word here?

She nullifies the glove from its bloody colors to its neutral grey. She starts to tug it off, but it’s difficult with both hands shaking. She wilts, empty fingers like decaying flower petals, her hand still stuck in the glove’s wrist, other arm holding herself. Her voice is thick. She doesn’t look at him.

“I wish I hadn’t said that.”

She risks a glance around her glasses frames.

“I’m sorry.”

He softens, and when he moves to help her out of the glove, she doesn’t back away. When her hand is free, she falls into his hug. She’s a full head shorter than him, and smushes her words against his chest.

“There’s no retreating from this. The Commander is impatient. He has threatened to replace me.”

So that’s it, is it? He strokes her hair.

“Nastya, you’ll always have a home with - “

“Nyet.”

She brushes away his attempt at comfort. Wild eyes, magnified by glasses look up at him.

“You know what happens to people who get replaced.”

Destro’s stomach drops at the memory of hard muscles pulling him down a giant gullet. He pulls her close until her bones creak and breath hisses out between her teeth, but she doesn’t complain.

“I have to fix this,” she says. “I have to fix this. No running. No new faces.”

He lets up the pressure, but cups her head and presses it back against his chest, over his heart.

“Aye. Aye, alright. But if you ever need to, run. From the Joes, the Commander. Anything. Just run, and I’ll come get you. And this will help.”

They stand that way, leaning against each other until the tension eventually drains out of them. She turns her face into his palm and kisses it. Dark eyes grin slyly between his fingers.

“Would you still love me if I had another face? Or would you prefer it?”

“I love ye for your personality.”

A bark of laughter.

“Now I know you’re lying. My personality is terrible.”

“Nonsense. Ye’re a ruthless, power-hungry she devil. I adore ye.”

She laughs and he joins her.

“But I do like your face.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow, this got long. Hope this was something like what you wanted.

A few years back I went to a horror con and got to try on a really cool mask with a movable jaw, but I couldn’t get it to work. The guy apologetically said it was because of my delicate little lady skull. XD We can’t have cool helmets.

Absinthe || 1

Author: Randombtsprincessa

Characters: Jung Hoseok x Reader

Summary: As the only weakness of a powerful man, you are subject to many dangers. Is the new boy at your academy one of them?

Warning: Mafia workings.

A/N: Welcome to my second drabble series!

The room was quiet, with the occasional ruffle of paper or a cough or someone clearing their throat. The five men sitting around the table were obviously nervous; their suits too stuffy and hot even in the air conditioned room. The walls, made of black glass reflected the interior ominously as each men kept their eyes firmly on the polished mahogany table, a black dossier in front of them all while a film projector, high class and top notch rested in front of it, ready to play anything and everything.

The man sitting at the head of the table however seemed at ease. His tall sleek body, clad in a similar suit was lounged in the largest chair, fingers poised on the table, fingers drumming out a soft patient beat while his face, devoid of any emotion watched his companions with something akin to amusement.

All through his entirety, the man’s face was the most interesting. Dark grey hair, pushed back from his face, black ominous eyes, hooded yet aware of everything, a high nose and thin lips that perpetually smirked. He was a dangerous man and everyone in the room knew it, his reputation preceding him hilariously.

He had seen everything, been through everything and he had commandeered everything from singular assassinations, contracted massacres, hijacks and raids of epic proportions, you name it. He also dabbled in the less savory aspects of the underworld trade; kidnappings, minor shootings, jailbreaks…

He had every crime in his pocket, and he was the very best, each syndicate passing personally through him before being relegated to his…office, for lack of a better term.

There was nothing the Master hadn’t seen or were not willing to do, for the right prices of course and the men sitting in front of him now were one of the wealthiest, even if the means of gaining that wealth was questionable. He didn’t judge, of course, he never judged. He just negotiated, settled and then got things done.

He also liked impact, especially the one he made. He maybe a criminal mastermind but he was still a gentleman and if a gentleman didn’t make you sit up and notice, what was the point? He knew he was making the five bosses sweat through every pore of their bodies and he liked watching them squirm. It made them realize, he couldn’t, wouldn’t be trifled with.

His presence was the true power in this conference room.

Finally when he was bored with making them shiver in their chairs, he straightened himself, turned the chair to properly face the room and smiled; a thin, cobra-like smile, one which was even more frightening than his somber face.

“Gentlemen, if you are done collecting your wits, may we proceed?” he asked, a deep, bass resonating in the room.

There was a flurry as chairs were pushed up, files opened and the projector clumsily switched on till grey filled the black screen. The Master steeple his fingers watching the image of a man pop on the screen.

His eyebrows didn’t raise but he knew the man. Everyone knew the man. He was the once up and coming business man of a large corporation who now held almost everything the small but flourishing city had to offer. Land, properties, stock, hospitals, schools, deeds, bonds; everything was at least sixty percent in this one man’s pocket. He was a hard worker, entirely white collar, and the Master had to admire that, he did. The man was a family man; his wife recently passed which had caused quite a media jumble, not only this city but almost the entire state.

“I suppose, you know who this man is?” the man at the first chair asked.

The Master inclined his head as the projector moved to another picture, this time a young girl, standing demurely next to her father.

She was probably ten or eleven, judging from the plaid skirt and sweater, combined with socks and shoes combo, barely reaching her father’s elbow as she looked anywhere but at the cameras that took pictures of her father cutting the ribbons of a new hospital.

The next photo featured the same girl with another woman, obviously her mother, they looked similar. She was older, her eyes bolder as she looked straight into the camera, her lips turned down in annoyance. The look of disdain made the Master’s lips raise in amusement as well as the picture changed again.

The girl was grown now, probably an adult. She’d grown into herself, he supposed, studying the stance of her walk, dressed perfectly, her phone held up to her ear. She hadn’t seen the camera in this one or in the next thee photos, all taken of her doing regular things; eating with some boys, laughing while walking next to girls, and the last, hailing a cab.

The screen turned black again and the dim lights came on as one of the men pushed an open dossier in front him, the pictures there and sheets of information.

“The man we just showed you, Y/L/N, that girl is his daughter.”

“Obviously,”

There was nervous throat clearing.

“Yes, well, she’s the target.”

The Master’s eyes went up to the man’s. This was his first time ordering a strike, seeing as how he spoke as if talking to a lowly contract killer. He would’ve smiled pityingly at him but he was already interested in knowing their motives to engage in mockery.

“The girl, pray tell why?”

“Well, Y/L/N is our rival…he’s been over turning us for the last half decade. It’s time we changed that. The girl was in Paris all this time, kept away after her mother’s death but now she’s back to pursue higher education under her father. If we can press her nerve, we can get him to sign with us.” He said.

“You want my organization to kidnap her?” he asked.

“Well…”

“Let me get this straight, if I may, gentlemen, you’re saying that this girl, once kidnapped will lead to her father, one of the most powerful men in this city to sign with you all and you think he’s stupid enough to not figure it out? Let me remind you, while this office does work for the lesser minded ones, it’s proficiency goes beyond your fickle hostage play.”

The Master leant back, smiling coldly at the flushed look on their faces.

“Well, what would you suggest?” one of the smaller men asked.

“Harmless Intrusion,” was the immediate answer.

He sighed when he was met with blank faces.

“The girl is new here, isn’t she? She has no idea what to expect of changed times. She will be vulnerable, easily pliable. I will set a course in which she will be plied to your wishes, if you so wish. She will be seduced, manipulated and coerced to force her father to sign with your workings, and as soon as said job is done, we will vanish into thin air. You will have your deals and the girl will learn not to listen to her heart in business matters. A little win-win for all,” the Master smiled benignly at the photo of the girl.

“Ah, yes, that will be best, no blood and no harm…” they muttered, not noticing the way the head’s face turned cold, irritated at their stupidity.

“Well, gentlemen, how about we discuss the pricing?” he asked.

“Wait, who will you send, what happens if she figures it out?”

The Master paused. “If she figures it out, she will be removed. As to who I will send, do not worry about it, it shall be the best. Please, let’s adjourn to the accounts room to see if your backgrounds have checked out and how I will be paid. I do have employees to pay salaries to.”

With that the conference room was abandoned, the dossier of photos still open.

The plane doors dropped open and the pilot held out a helping hand for me to step out on the deck. I took it out of politeness, too used to being treated like made out of glass to let it bother me anymore, even if it did bother me.

I blinked in the sunlight, looking down at the strip of private runway to see a long black limo already waiting for me at the end. Two men standing near the door, waiting with their hands clasped in front of them.

Great, I thought, just great Dad, you don’t even wait for me to come home before you make me feel like a freak. I should’ve never left Paris. I sighed, wondering if my father would hate me if I simply flew to private jet back to France.  

He wouldn’t hate me maybe; he doted on me, too much, especially now that Mom was gone…

I blinked, tossing the thought of my dead mother away into the back of my mind. It had been two years now…it was silly to still feel sad. I had things to do here; I couldn’t afford to be fragile.

I walked the stairs down, handing my bag to the waiting valet as one of the men, tall and broad shouldered stepped forward, taking off his shades and exposing the white wire wrapped around his ear. He was dark and extremely good looking, both of them were I noticed as the other one took off his sunglasses too, smiling slightly at me.

“Miss Y/L/N, welcome back home. My name is Kim Seokjin and my associate is Kim Namjoon; we’re your new bodyguards.” He said. His voice was low and smooth, eyes already watching me closely.

I glanced once at the other man, blond hair carefully jelled back then back at the taller brunette. “I’m sorry, I didn’t appoint any bodyguards.” I said, smiling sweetly.

The blond chuckled, earning a look from me and Seokjin. “Your father appointed us for you, Miss Y/L/N, but nice try.” He said, walking to open the door of the limo for me.

I watched as both men waited for me expectantly. I cast a longing look at the private jet and sighed in resignation before sliding in, the door shutting firmly after me.

Well then, I was officially home.

She-Ra Trailer Theory: Cons

Okay I’m going to pretty much put these down as they come. The longer they are the more likely I have a major issue with them, the shorter the comments, consider those more along the lines of nitpicks to meh sort of things. Those would be aspects that I personally may not get but others may like, so meh on it. 

So to start with, we have the weird portal opening up. 

My main issue is, what is the point in showing this? That’s not the fright zone. Certainly isn’t Skydancer mountain, and isn’t part of Mystracor. Is this supposed to be Shadow Weaver casting a spell? It looks a lot like the portal in the 2002 He-man series. If they are avoiding that show, why connect to the portal idea there? Yes Hordak was cast into Etheria but why do the same sort of thing you were doing in the 2002-03 Masters of the Universe show if you’re trying to avoid it. Seems kind of dumb to me in that sense. 

Also, if this is a portal to the Horde Planet, then is this Hordak doing this, or Shadow Weaver again? And is Hordak there or in another location at this time and being called down? Or is this pulling in Horde Prime? So are they aliens or magic users here? Seems more like Aliens which ties into the mini comics, but the designs seem to imply the 2002 He-man. So what is going on here. I don’t like this shot being used as it probably will come off as confusing later on to the viewers who have no idea of the Lore of MotU.

Hordak. Okay, I will admit when I was little I liked Skeletor a lot more because I always felt that Skeletor was funnier due to his voice, and Hodak was creepy. Now, I will say this though, that creepy factor played a big point in what made him a threat. This...what the heck is this? 

This is not Hordak. Sure he has on the Horde logo, but his design is not good. Let me explain, Hordak is supposed to look like a monster. He’s supposed to be creepy as he’s not of this world. He’s the brother of Horde Prime, the ruler of this group. This is not creepy. This is Man-bat from Batman the Animated series. 

Let’s start with his new design shall we. What color is that face? Gray, blue? It’s certainly not bone white, which is what his face is supposed to be. At least the eyes are red, but what is with the hair on the head? His race/species/whatever the Horde are, are not supposed to have hair, save for special cases like Prince Zed. Why is he blue? Then there’s the fact that his collar blends into his ears. That collar is supposed to accentuate the face, not vanish into the head. And what is that collar supposed to be? Metal? Why not go back to his old bones design. Show that he’s a danger. Right now he looks like he would be at home on a ship with the Galra from the new Voltron, or hanging out with the leads from Skeleton Warriors. 

Also, and this is more a nitpick, but what is up with making him metal with the arms. He’s not a robot, you don’t need to put him with Robotic things. This isn’t Silver Hawks. And not showing his snort, come on. Really, that’s a staple of this character. He snorts, it’s part of his thing. Then there’s the added issue of why bother having him in the dark rather than just show him. You’re not hiding anything, we see him a few scene’s later, so what’s the point? 

Then there’s the fact that he’s just on screen. Why? Again, is he not on planet? If not, why? He’s the leader of the Horde. Is he stuck somewhere? Is he still on Horde world? If that’s the case, why? He’s supposed to be a major threat and instead we get onscreen moments. Okay, so...are we trying to be the Light from Young Justice, because if so then we have to talk. 

There’s just something way to weak feeling about this Hordak, and that really really bugs me. He’s dangerous, a creature that can wreck Skeletor as seen in the 2002 MotU series where he manged to cause him so much pain he fell off his throne and down stairs because his head hurt so much. This guy looks more like someone that can be easily removed from play by another character, and I hope that’s not the case. 

I’m gonna be blunt and probably one of the few that hold this opinion. I’m not a fan of the Catra design here. I’m not against it, I just feel like she looks a lot like a character from Thundercats with this new look. Like I can see her hanging out with Wiley Kit and Kat from the new Thundercats series. She looks like she could be Tigra from Marvel Rising. Clothing wise, I don’t like the pants, shirt is fine, headress is fine, I hate the ears though, and again that’s just my issue there. 

Also she’s reminding me of an angry Merle from Escaflowne, and I really don’t want her to become that sort of character. The overly annoying one.  I get that they wanted to show more than just humans working for the horde, but Catra and the one guy in the other shot with her talking to the Horde cadets(?), but right now it’s making it appear that only the monsters are on the side of the Horde, and thus Humans vs Monsters, which kind of sucks because there was a number of non human beings that fought alongside She-ra and the rebellion, and instead the creatures are just given a minor moment in the trailer. 

Shadow Weaver. Screw. This. Design. 

No seriously, I hate this look on her. The dress looks really dumb. Are they supposed to be tentacles that are walking her? Is she just floating, and if so, why? We can see she has human hands, but no feet? 

The top is bad, really bad. It makes no sense to be cut the way it is. It would be a pain in the neck getting it on. There is nothing in this design that works. What is up with the turtle neck? She doesn’t need it if she’s wearing a mask and what looks like a high collar dress. It’s annoying and fabric doesn’t work like that! 

Also the mask, that mask is...ugh. What are we going for here? Phantom of the Opera, Cobra Commander, Destro? M.A.S.K.? Rom Space Knight? One of the X-men? A 90s retro villain from Image comics? Like seriously? What is with this horrible design for her. 

Then the hair. If she’s not a shadow creature like, Kurogiri from My Hero Academia, then why is her hair floating like that? Then it, like Hordak’s, blends into the background. Why are we having her hair float? She’s not a living shadow, she’s a former Princess from Mystacor who betrayed the others for power.

I’m damn sure that they are sticking with that backstory since it’s the most likely reason that the first princess group fell. Unless they make it where her working with the Dark arts turned her into this, because then we’re just redoing what happened to Haggar, and she’s a bit of a redo on several other various characters who go evil when they seek too much power. 

Also, if they are making her the one that stole Adora, or the one to raise her, I will be really mad because that changes a huge important aspect of Adora’s life with the Horde. Yes Shadow Weaver did “raise” her, but the thing is that there was another woman involved there who actually gave Adora her moral code. Now if Shadow Weaver wants her back because she probably is the key to getting them into Eternia, then yes that is right, but if it’s “She’s my daughter and I love her” then the team really do not understand Shadwo weaver at all. Shadow Weaver is a selfish woman who only cares about herself and her desire for power. So I’m not digging this version of Shadow Weaver very much. 

Where the sword is located. This sword is supposed to be with it’s twin in Castle Grayskull. Unless this show tells us point blank that the Sorceress threw that sword into Etheria and it had the vines grow over it I’m calling BS on where she finds it. 

The sword of protection is the twin sword to the sword of power. They are the connecting pieces to that of Grayskull and the power that is given to both She-ra and He-man. We know the sword is connected to Grayskull as she even says it when she does the “For the Honor of Grayskull” which is in Eternia. So why would the Sorcress abandon the weapon that would be the one thing that can defeat Hordak? Again, I hope they correct this in some way and address it sooner rather than later, because they made that same damn mistake with the Snake-men in the 2002 series. 

Netossa...ah Netossa...what have you done to Netossa. 

Now I’m not going to complain about her looks, I’m more annoyed with the fact that she has magic. One of the many cool aspects about Netossa that made her stand out was the fact that she didn’t need magic to be a bad-ass. Hailing from the far north of Etheria, she became an expert with her ability to use nets to capture and hold enemies. She never had magic at all and became one of the best allies in the Rebellion all from hard work and practice. 

When the others had issues where their magic couldn’t be used, she could easily handle things because, again, she didn’t need to worry about it because no magic. 

Now we have this version giving her magic, making it where only the boys are special enough to not need magic to do things. It just sort of annoys me that they took that away from her. She was skilled enough not to need to use magic to make her special and now Bow and maybe SeaHawk will be the only ones that don’t use magic. I get the idea of making her a magic girl too, but I always loved her because she wasn’t like the other characters. She became a bad-ass on her own, and worked hard to be one. 

So, I”m guessing here that the chick with the horns is probably the OC Noelle mentioned. *sighs*  So here’s my question, is she just a background character that stands there and does nothing. Okay fine...I can deal. But if this character starts to play a part and replaces someone like say Flutterina, or Peekablue, it will become a sticking point for me. D&D characters should not be in She-ra. It’s a completely different franchise and personally I do not want that cross over. I don’t want her to become a mary-sue and over shadow the rest of the cast. That’s what worries me. 

Okay this one is a huge sticking point for me. Spirit here better have been transformed by the damn sword before this scene, because if he’s already a unicorn/pegasus, we have a serious issue here and someone didn’t pay any attention to how that sword works. 

The Sword of Protection is a transformation item. Unlike the Sword of Power, Protection can become many things as well as change many things to be used by She-ra. Spirit, her horse, who becomes Swift Wind when he changes, is a normal horse. He’s a ordinary horse, and Adora changes him with her sword to make him become more advantage to her fighting and to connect to the idea of her becoming someone different. (And I’m about to get to that in a second.) 

By having Spirit already a magical flying horse you take a way a big part of the secret identity situation, as well as showing that they change into something more powerful than they are with the sword. By leaving him as a magic horse early on, you kind of screw that up. Also he better talk. 

Speaking of issues about secrets...

Why the hell are we having everyone know who She-ra is! That’s sort of the deal with this. It’s a secret! Not only for the safety of Adora, but for the Rebellion as well! 

Having everyone know means that word will get back to Hordak and pretty much then everyone will know her weak points! That’s damn dumb! Oh sure drama with Catra, for about an episode or two, but other than that, it makes them seem dumb that they can’t beat her. Not only that, but if they know, then if Glimmer get’s taken and Angella has to chose between telling the Horde who She-ra is or see her daughter hurt, (because they will), she’ll probably tell it’s Adora. And if Catra knows, I mean what’s to keep her from telling Hordak? Like is Shadow Weaver that dumb to Hide it from Hordak? Are they really making these guys that dumb?  This is the point of the secret identity thing. It’s to keep her safe and her friends safe, and why Madam Razz, Kowl and Lookee were important to the story. 

Speaking of...why are so many characters missing? 

Okay I can get half of the Princesses missing because they were part timers. But Madame Regina Fancy Razz, Broom, Kowl and Lookee were all part of the show from the start. They were the ones to discover the truth and were the ones to make sure that the Horde doesn’t find out that she’s She-ra. Now everyone in the freaking Rebellion knows, and that doesn’t bode well for story telling. 

Razz could contact the Sorcress, and was also someone that was up their with Shadow Weaver in the magic department. Broom was the one that helped her out with spells and also was someone who gave good advice to Adora about real situations, Kowl was the guy that was friends with Bow and knew his back story and helped him out a lot, and Look-ee, was....well he existed. Missing them though seems like a bad choice in this. Maybe as others have said they will show up in the next season or this one, but still I would think that having the person that was Queen Angella’s second best friend not around is, weird. 

If that is Imp, well that sucks. One, why make him a baby? Unless he’s like freaking Koenma, from Yu Yu Hakusho, where he can get older and has an older brain in him then what’s the point of making him a baby? To give Hordak a more annoying character to hang around with? To make him be a daddy? Come on! Lame. 

Imp is the most reliable of the Horde, even above Shadow Weaver when it comes to doing things. He’s a bit of a jerk, sure, but over all he’s an interesting villain with some comedic elements. Making him a baby just is weird. What’s he going to do? Cry them into a bad situation? I’m sorry, it’s just way to weird. It didn’t work in the 90s when this was a thing, and it sure as hell won’t work now. 

Unless he’s Death 13′s Baby, I’m already dreading this character. 

Also why is Entrapa with the good guys? 

Is this Entrapa? If it is, she better become a baddie because she’s a Horde worker, and honestly having her with the good guys is way to weird. 

Lastly....

Where the hell is the Horde?

Is this it? 

Is the girl with the dreads supposed to be Octavia? She’s the only other female character. Unless that’s a new version of Mantenna? Like the only one that could be Leach is the green guy and he looks more like a lizard or reptile creature than one of the Horde members. 

We’re missing quiet a few: Mantenna ( a  Rebrunk Nuru who has several ray abilities with his eyes and is the scout for Hordak) , Grizzlor (who’s like a were-wolf character), Multi-bot (a robot that can transform with others to create a new sort of monster and armor), Dylamug (who can shift faces and is part Robot),  Admiral Scurvy (Cyborg head of the Horde Navy), Vultek (who is a flying bird man creature that is in charge of Hordak’s zoo where he keeps creatures that he finds interesting -including those that are beings from Etheria), False-Face (A shape shifter that can take on any appearance). 

Then there’s Scorpina. I know there were complaints about She-ra’s look, but if this is about good looking costumes, why does Scorpina have Power Girl’s window in her outfit? Her old one covered more than her new one does. 

Also, straight up, are they going to at all cover the fact that Scorpina owns slaves from Etheria? She’s from the Crimson Waste and was right up there with power in regard to control over Etheria. I just hope she’s actually a force to deal with and not someone who is put under Catra’s thumb because those two would go at it in regard to power struggles all the time. 

Lastly, I’m hoping that Hordak is actually the main villain and not Shadow Weaver. I’m not a huge fan of “Girl’s show must have girl villain to fight against” because if it’s Shadow Weaver as the big bad and Hordak’s just a Doctor Claw like person then I’m going to step away from this show. Hordak and She-ra’s relationship is key to this series as a whole. He stole her from her family, brainwashed her and forced her to serve him. The fact that so much of her history is being stripped here, is not a good thing. She stood up to the person that basically abused and used her, the guy that screwed over her life and fought against him. And I think it would be a sad thing to take away that powerful statement. But that’s just me.

Cobra Kai Season 3: What to Expect

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This article contains spoilers for Cobra Kai season 2.

It’s been a year and a half already since the Cobra Kai season 2 finale cliffhanger took the show literally over the edge. 

The climactic West Valley High School fight in “No Mercy” pushed Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) over that cliff – off a hallway balcony and onto a back-shattering staircase rail. It was a first-rate “long take” fight scene (what’s called a “one-er” in the film biz), the epitome of stunt cinematography because it is so technically challenging. The slightest mistake from anyone involved and everyone must start all over again. That season 2 finale fight was the best piece of fight choreography of the entire franchise, finally levelling up Cobra Kai to the martial arts showcase it always deserved to be. The challenge for season 3 is whether the show can top itself.

Cobra Kai has been a surprise hit from the very start, already triumphing against major challenges. Launched in 2018 as a tentpole show for YouTube Red, Cobra Kai appeared doomed after YouTube’s foray into a subscription-based premium access service model fell short of expectations. YouTube let go of all their original scripted shows not bound by contract. Even though the Cobra Kai season 2 premiere set a record for the platform, it seemed destined to end after two seasons all the same. That was until Netflix picked it up, restoring the series like Mr. Miyagi’s healing hands. The show has since become a breakout hit all over again on its new home.

Now season 3 is the first true Cobra Kai Netflix exclusive. After the “cruel summer” of 2020, Cobra Kai season 3 is set to arrive in January  and Den of Geek spoke to its stars about what it means for the beloved Karate Kid franchise.

Flashback to Karate Kid Part II

Netflix dropped its first Cobra Kai season 3 teaser last August, and ended it with a mysterious offscreen line “Are you sure about that?” Fans quickly surmised that the speaker was Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), the villain from The Karate Kid Part II. It wasn’t hard to guess. The teaser showed Daniel (Ralph Macchio) returning to Okinawa, and some press coverage revealed that season 3 had shot there, so who else would it be? The stabbing sai was another telltale giveaway because it was Chozen who brought traditional Okinawan weapons into the Karate Kid fray. 

The potential of Chozen’s inclusion in Cobrai Kai has enormous, and perhaps dangerous implications. While Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) beat up Daniel-san in some high school fights, Chozen and Daniel were full-on prepared to fight to the death. As Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) said just prior to their match, “Daniel-San, this not tournament. This for real.” Cobra Kai has been masterfully placing Easter eggs that hail back to the original ‘80s films throughout the series with cameos of many members of the original cast. Adding Kreese (Martin Kove) to the cast for season 2 was a game changer. Chozen was a perfect tease from Netflix because anyone who saw The Karate Kid Part II would hazard a guess that the conclusion of their death match did not restore Chozen’s honor.

When the official Season 3 trailer dropped in December, Netflix gave Chozen’s inclusion away. Not only did we see Chozen, but we also see Kumiko (Tamlyn Tomita), Daniel’s second love interest from The Karate Kid Part II. Tomita just beamed down from playing the inscrutable Commander Oh on Star Trek: Picard. She’s been working steadily in television ever since her breakout role in The Karate Kid Part II. 

What’s more, there were a lot more merciless fight clips in that trailer. It was another well played lure for fans of both the original and the ongoing series. Great throwbacks, great humor and great drama are what makes Cobra Kai so engaging. And now that they’ve upped the ante in the fight choreography department, can they keep the momentum going? Will we see another death match between Daniel and Chozen? That stabbing sai landed so close to Daniel’s head and that’s a good way to put out an eye. 

Growing Challenges

“The challenge of season 3 is obviously cleaning up the mess that was created both on LaRusso’s watch and Johnny Lawrence’s watch,” says Ralph Macchio, who first began playing Daniel LaRusso in 1984. 

The “No Mercy” High School fight left every character horribly scarred, both physically and emotionally. In its wake, Amanda LaRusso (Courtney Henggeler), Daniel’s wife, told her family “No more Karate. It’s over,” prompting Daniel to take down Mr. Miyagi’s picture from the Miyagi-Do dojo wall. Carmen (Vanessa Rubio), Miguel’s mom and Johnny’s (William Zabka) love interest, told Johnny “I never want to see you again.” When Johnny goes to his Cobra Kai dojo, he is greeted by Kreese who repeats his meme-worthy line from the original The Karate Kid, “We have a visitor.” With both Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai dojos out of their hands, what’s left?

“The biggest challenge of season 3 was probably stepping out,” reveals Zabka. 

“What is Johnny going to be without the skin of Cobra Kai? But it was also kind of a rebirth because at the end of season 2, Kreese takes the Dojo. So who is Johnny without the Cobra Kai banner wrapped around him? That was a fun challenge.”

After all the tragedy that befell their teenage kids, can Johnny and Daniel finally bury the hatchet for the sake of their children? Macchio says they will try in season 3, but we’ll have to watch and see how that goes. 

“From a performing standpoint, there was an excitement to it because I knew script wise, I was going to step up to Johnny Lawrence and say, ‘Let’s put our differences aside and let’s go help this kid, your son, my student,’ and set off on that journey,” Maccho says. “Upfront in the season, these two rival characters have to coexist and work together, where so often in the previous two seasons, it wasn’t until late. We have a handful of scenes during the year in the season.”

However, there’s much more to Cobra Kai than Johnny and Daniel’s 30+ year feud. This is a Karate soap opera for the next generation. Teen drama was the heart of the original films, the story of Daniel-san’s coming of age. Now it’s about Johnny’s son Robby (Tanner Buchanan) and Daniel’s daughter Sam (Mary Mouser) and all their high school friends and rivals. It’s their turn to find themselves and they’ll have to do so in a much different world than that of Johnny’s and Daniel’s. 

“I’m excited for people to see it,” says Mouser. “In Season 3, it’s just recovery and growth, and learning from her own mistakes, learning from other’s mistakes, and trying her best to be the better next generation. I think that’s everybody’s goal all the time. We’re learning from our parents, we’re learning from the past, we’re learning from history, and we’re learning from each other. We’re doing our best to improve as people. So I hope Samantha continues on that path. Although, sometimes she falls off the wagon.”

What about Ali with an ‘I’?

Prior to the season 3 premiere, the possibility of the most requested cameo remains unknown. At the end of season 2, Johnny’s Facebook pinged the acceptance of his friend request to Ali Mills Schwarber (Elisabeth Shue). What a tease! Fans have been clamoring for the return of that Encino cheerleader who stole all our hearts so many years ago. 

Shue has been steadily working in TV and film since her breakout role in The Karate Kid. She was nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards for her gritty soul-baring performance in Leaving Las Vegas and was recently seen playing Madelyn Stillwell in The Boys. With the return of Chozen and Kumiko, might Ali make a cameo too? There’s no hint of her in the trailer. No spoilers here. You’ll just need to wax on, wax off, and tune in. 

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Cobra Kai season 3 premieres Jan. 1 on Netflix.

WBJ Day 10 - Holidays and Traditions

If there’s one thing that’s taken a huge nosedive in the world of Hybrid (*cough-cough- besides freedom*), it’s this subject.  Holidays, traditions, and pretty much anything else at the core of human culture.

The good news is: this isn’t because of any law put down by the Alphas, but merely an effect of their presence.  The Alphas run a flawless society through routine, and although they don’t forbid it, they also don’t exactly facilitate things like passion and celebration.  Because they are timeless, the Alphas also see little point in marking the passing of years with seasonal traditions (a mindset that seems to have rubbed off on the humans, given how few people care to keep track of their age).

However, as mentioned before, aspects of human culture become more prevalent the farther out you venture from the heart of Alpha society.  And although most Clans have yet to develop any real holidays - there are a number of celebratory practices and other traditions that have taken root.

The Hybrid Clan has a few great examples to share:

(continued under the cut!)

-

Courtship:

Although the Hybrids are well aware that the endgame of a courtship is strictly against protocol (at least until they’re released from duty) - their commander is lenient enough to turn a blind eye to the few cases of puppy love that sprouted under her nose.

One such tradition that is recognized by courting couples in the Hybrid Clan is known as “The Five Gifts”.  This practice, although fairly widespread in their world, is most popular among breeds that stress social and diplomatic ties through courtship/mating pairings.  The tradition - not unlike a marraige proposal in our world - involves a Suitor presenting his Intended a series of gifts: one for each of the five senses.  Often done in a public fashion, these gifts can be as simple as a brief serenade (hearing), or as lavish as a banquet (taste).

This process can take anywhere from a few days, to almost a year, depending on the suitor and the extravagance of his gifts.  If his Intended accepts all of them, this normally marks the end of the courtship period, before they become proper mates.  And while this last step is on hold for the Hybrids, they do ascribe meaning to the tradition as a show of loyalty and monogamy - the latter of which is rarely practiced in their world.

Social Bonding:

Despite living in what is essentially a boot camp, the Hybrid Clan is still expected to function and cooperate like a familial Clan when not on the training fields.

Social grooming behaviors have been adapted from the Hybrids’ various Breeds, and are a common tradition after a long week of training  (those feathers aren’t gonna preen themselves!).  Likewise, many Hybrids consider it a tradition of solidarity to buddy up and share beds (platonically) on the night before a mission - or after a victorious return.  This sometimes develops into their equivalent of a slumber party... albeit with much more battle-prep involved.

The Hybrid Clan has also developed a few seasonal traditions: such as feasting on the local fruit harvest, “escaping” from the compound and taking a trip to catch the first snowfall, and intentionally flooding the sand pits for a mid-summer mud fight.  Hiding objects (... like trucks) at the bottom of the crater lake, or suspended high on the cliff-face, has also developed into a yearly prank that the War Mother is particularly disapproving of.

Bonfires:

Last but not least is the one celebratory event that has become a staple of Hybrid Culture.  After every successful mission, the War Mother permits a single night of free-for-all partying.  The Hybrids spare no expense getting done up in  colored war paint, bringing their victory feast out to the shores of the lake, and lighting a massive bonfire by moonrise.  

Having been raised in different Clans, many of the Hybrids have cultural elements that they’ve contributed to these bonfires over the years.  Massive sets of drums are used to accompany dances like the Leóndanza, or performances such as the Cobra’s Masque.  Songs, games, and storytelling are also prevalent parts of these celebrations - with folktales and musical styles that hail from many different Breeds.  A few favorite stories in particular are considered a necessary tradition at each and every bonfire.

These parties more often than not continue all through the night... although the Hybrids are quick to beat a hasty retreat back to their barracks at the first tinge of sunrise.  

The War Mother had made her warning clear, that anyone not back in bed by morning risked being forcibly dunked in the lake.

~ ~ ~

Aaaaaaand that’s about it for this topic.  Having the entirety of human culture smothered under a regime really puts a damper on the holiday season.  :/

But hey - at least the Hybrids are on the right track.

#WBJ17 #WBJ #world building #traditions #courtship traditions #Hybrid #woooo some info on the Hybrid Clan finally making an appearance #fitting - given that basically the whole story is about them

GI Gundam Chapter 2: Hood Ornament Incident

Chapter 2: Hood Ornament Incident

Naturally, being on a motorcycle that can get at least 200 miles per hour, meant that it didn’t take long for Cobra Commander to return to the oil wells that the other Cobras were currently working at. He stopped the bike next to his personal helicopter, a refitted Aries II that he had recently acquired and refitted for his purposes. (Roughly the size of a Russian Mi-26 helicopter) It was formerly a cargo helicopter prototype “stolen” from WEI. It was armored and not without a bristling array of weaponry to protect itself and it’s cargo. When the three came back from making sure the tank GI Gundam guys stayed safe, they would load his Lu into the bird. /The eight GI Gundams are still in position where we left them, no doubt now wondering what had become of their tanks./ Deathscythe murmurs in Cobra Commander’s left ear. “Meaning I won a good fight but the battle isn’t over.” Cobra Commander mutters and sighs as he heads over to where Storm Shadow and the other Cobras were working. Storm Shadow looks up as Cobra Commander approaches. “Cobra Commander.” “Now don’t act all surprised to see me. Are those grunts done yet? Because here in a little while, we are going to be done whether they are done or not.” Cobra Commander says. “They are just putting in the last pieces now.” Storm Shadow replies. “Good.” Cobra Commander says as he looks off towards his left shoulder, right at the sand dunes that the GI Gundam guys were hiding.

“Does he know we are here?” Heero asks no one in particular as he felt more than saw Cobra Commander’s gaze as if the man were staring straight at him. /If he does, he has something that none of our intelligence knows about./ Wing Zero responds as if he were asked. “You think he might have an A.I. helping him like you, Marquise and Chang have?” Breaker asks. “I hope not but that may be it. It’s the only plausible explanation.” Heero says. “Wing, try to see if you can’t make contact, if anything to see if he does have an A.I. on his side.” /Affirmative./ Wing Zero responds before doing as told.

/They are trying to contact me, or at least trying to see if I exist, should I respond?/ Deathscythe asks, if the A.I. could (by most scientists opinions was impossible) he almost sounded curious. Cobra Commander knew that Deathscythe was indeed curious, of all A.I.s, Deathscythe seemed the only one capable of learning and replicating emotions that were said to be impossible to be shown by any computerized artificial life form. “Ma çawa tu wê, dikare bibe kêfxweşî.”1 Cobra Commander murmurs under his breath, while still looking at the sand dunes. /Identify yourself or prepare to be neutralised./ Deathscythe informs Wing Zero, while enabling Cobra Commander to hear, who had to cover his laugh with a sudden coughing fit, which gained odd looks by Storm Shadow and the other Cobras. “Min nexwest pir ew ku rê wateyê ne.”2 Cobra Commander mutters under his breath as he tries to get his breathing back to normal. He turns on the others, “Get back to work. I want to be done sometime this century!” He snarls. The other Cobras stop gawking and hurriedly go back to doing what they were doing. Storm Shadow simply shrugs and shakes his head. No one understood Cobra Commander’s antics most of the time…. On a good day. /This is Wing Zero, A.I. of Heero Yuy, lieutenant of the GI Gundam forces./ Wing Zero responds which Deathscythe helpfully patched to the speaker in Cobra Commander’s right ear. “Ah good… then you can tell him that it would be best if he goes back, collects the tank operators and leaves while some of you still have your prides intact. Or, come and lose all dignity as they know it.” Cobra Commander cheerfully responds to Wing Zero. It would not be the last time Wing Zero was heard to make a squawk of surprise similar to the sound of a metal car door needing oiling makes when opening. And it would always be because of either Cobra Commander or Deathscythe. Cobra Commander flinches at the sound. /At least I don’t make such an undignified sound./ Deathscythe proudly proclaims. “No, yours don’t hurt my ears.” Cobra Commander says. /Identify yourself./ Wing Zero growls. /I am Scythe, A.I. to Cobra Commander, whom you squawked at./ Deathscythe informs, though not using the full name that he always went by. Cobra Commander had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing at this exchange. He moved himself around to where the Cobras working were between himself and where he knew the GI Gundams to be, to give him room and time to maneuver when needed, which would be soon now that the lieutenant’s A.I. had hailed them. “If they surrender now, it would be so much easier on them in the long run.” Cobra Commander informs Wing Zero helpfully. /Implausible. We hold the greater numbers./ Wing Zero informs them. /Held, the correct verb form is held. The tanks have been commandeered./ Deathscythe helpfully informs Wing Zero. Cobra Commander kept his eyes on Storm Shadow during this exchange, when Storm Shadow tensed, he knew the GI Gundam guys were coming. Sure enough, he noticed eight figures cresting the sand dune where they had been hiding, yelling “You are all under arrest.” Guns out but uselessly pointed upwards. As the Cobras went for their own weapons, Cobra Commander’s shouts his own orders. “Aim to disable, if any of them dies, you’ll pay with your own lives.” All of the Cobras knew he meant it. And then it became a clusterfuck…. The Cobras dodged behind empty oil drums or large equipment. Storm Shadow and Cobra Commander dodged and went behind a nearby forklift. “If you kill one, I will kill you, but I don’t have anything to worry about with you now do I?” Cobra Commander asks Storm Shadow before leaving the forklift to get closer to the GI Gundams. It was then that Cobra Commander ended up face to muzzle with a Glock, Heero Yuy being the one with the Glock. “You should be careful with that, giving your enemy a weapon like that lovely Glock.” Cobra Commander cheerfully states, putting his hands up. “I am not giving it to you.” Heero Yuy says. “Sure you are.” Cobra Commander says brightly, his left hand pushing the muzzle aside even as his right pushed against Heero’s wrist, twisting the gun until it was knocked from Heero’s grasp and into Cobra Commander’s. Which took all of a second or two. “See, you gave me this shiny new gun.” Cobra Commander says cheerfully, even as he moves the gun to make it eject it’s mag…. Which pinged off of Heero’s forehead, which Cobra Commander aimed for. Heero swung at Cobra Commander’s head with a right hook, which Cobra Commander dodged by moving backwards on spry feet. Cobra Commander racks the slide of the Glock and points it to the ground to shoot the round in the chamber harmlessly into the sands. Heero swings around with a one eighty kick with his right leg, Cobra Commander leans back and laughs as if he is playing limbo before springing back upright. Almost like one of those inflatable punching clown toys that would spring back up after you punched it. Cobra Commander was happily starting to dismantle Heero’s gun while dodging Heero’s attacks for the fun of it…. Which served to infuriate Heero more, which helped Cobra Commander’s purposes greatly. Cobra Commander dodges Heero’s low left kick by doing a hands free backflip, as his hands were busy. Cobra Commander’s right hand pulled the slide back slightly while his left grabbed the slide and pressed the slide release buttons on both sides pulling the slide, assembly and barrel from the frame. When he lands on his feet, Cobra Commander throws the frame of the Glock at Heero, hitting Heero square in the chest. Heero growls, “Stop taking it apart!” “Nope, no can do, error, does not compute.” Cobra Commander laughs and teases as Heero launches at him again. The GI Gundams were already in the process of being tied up, they were all out numbered four to one and Storm Shadow promised no harm should they just drop their weapons and surrender. “Even I know not to touch Heero’s guns.” Barricade says, “And they think I’m the crazy one among us.” “Our Cobra Commander is just barely on this side of batshit crazy. Hence the taking out of your three tanks with only some explosives and an H2R motorcycle.” Storm Shadow informs them. “Are you sure he is on this side of batshit?” Breaker asks. “There are many times that we wonder.” A Cobra grunt states with a shake of his head. They all watch the two commanding officers fight. Cobra Commander lands a high snapping front kick to Heero’s sternum that causes Heero to stumble back, gasping for air, as the recoil spring assembly pings off of his forehead. Heero growls again and rushes at Cobra Commander, only to have Cobra Commander drop to the ground and trip him, causing Heero to fall to the sands in a sprawl. Both were back up within seconds, and the barrel pinging off of Heero’s forehead a moment later. “You are going to pick up the pieces, clean them thoroughly and put it back together.” Heero orders with a growl. “Make me.” Cobra Commander challenges with a laugh, bouncing the slide off of Heero’s chest. Heero launches at Cobra Commander… grappling with him, causing them to go over the sand dunes that the GI Gundams had been hiding behind. Heero and Cobra Commander traded kick for kick and punch for punch as they went up and over the sand dunes, still trading blow for blow as they tumbled down the other side. When they landed… Cobra Commander was perched on Heero’s back both panting for breath as Cobra Commander was looking at the Leo with a unseen but wicked expression on his face. He gave Heero a grazing punch across Heero’s left temple which dazed Heero a little, which was what Cobra Commander was after. Cobra Commander then lifts Heero off the sands and deposits him, not very gently onto the hood of the nearest Leo and starts to tie Heero’s wrists to the side view mirror, and Heero’s ankles to the bumper, causing Heero to be spread-eagled on the hood of the Leo. “Who knew GI Gundam Lieutenants made such great hood ornaments!” Cobra Commander exclaims with a laugh. Heero shook his head to get out of the daze he was in and glares at Cobra Commander. “Release me this instant!” “How about, No… does No work for you?” Cobra Commander mocks. “You will untie me right now.” Heero growls. “And I don’t even get a please…. Where are your manners, your mother would be so disappointed in you.” Cobra Commander chides. Heero glares at Cobra Commander, who take the opportunity to really look at Heero. And he actually liked what he saw. Heero Yuy, glaring his infamous death glare with those prussian blue eyes. Cobra Commander wondered if Heero styled his chocolate colored hair or if Heero’s was naturally doing whatever it liked. Cobra Commander purred, yes purred. Who knew that the GI Gundam had such tasty looking men? It made him almost surrender just to beg to join GI Gundam, almost. But it was too much fun to have those prussian blue eyes glaring death at him. He checked the ropes that now held his growling captive spread-eagled on the hood of one of GI Gundam’s own Leo Humvees, making sure they were tight but not too tight. And this was what Storm Shadow ended up seeing as he came up over the sand dunes to see what the end result of the battle happened to be. “Come now, Lover, don’t be mad.” Cobra Commander teased. “We know you like it.” “Omae O Korosu.” Heero growls. “Tsk tsk, I hardly see how that punishment would fit the crime. Besides… at least I let you keep your bodysuit on. And we know that you appreciate that. Now say ‘Thank you, Cobra Commander, for letting me keep my dignity’.” “Fuck you.” Heero spits out. “Ah… no… but fucking you might be fun… but your rescuers should arrive in about 30 minutes or so and I would want to savor that body of yours.” Cobra Commander chuckles. “See you later, Lover.” Cobra commander purrs as he leaves, Storm Shadow follows him, but not before giving Heero an apologetic look. /You are so weak!/ Nataku berates Storm Shadow, sounding too much like his long dead wife, Meilin, whom he had joined GI Gundam in memory of. /The idiot’s back is to you and you won’t man up and strike!/ He had his reasons, primarily that Cobra Commander wasn’t the head of the 'snake’ so to speak. Cobra Commander was simply the fangs… there were others who lead the Cobra organization and GI Gundam needed to know who before they could do anything about it. Storm Shadow slapped his right ear, sending reverberations back to Nataku. /I think Storm Shadow is having problems with his own A.I. He just slapped his right ear for what seemed to be no reason./ Deathscythe informs Cobra Commander. “Is there something wrong with your right ear, Storm Shadow?” Cobra Commander asks, back still to Storm Shadow. /How does he do that?/ Nataku asks, echoing Storm Shadow’s thoughts. “I am fine, Cobra Commander.” Storm Shadow replies. “If you say so, Storm Shadow.” Cobra Commander sounded anything but convinced. Cobra Commander checked to make sure his beloved H2R Lu was loaded into his waiting helicopter before he climbed into it. Storm Shadow climbed in behind, as Cobra Commander was checking on the progress of the retrieval of the tanks that he had single-handedly captured. He frowned, though outwardly, people would only see his eyebrows crinkle together which could have easily been overlooked. Cobra Commander saw it though. Once they were in the air, seated side by side because Cobra Commander would never let Storm Shadow out of his hearing or sight if he could help it, Cobra Commander seemed to relax. Because he did relax, after a reassuring whisper from Deathscythe giving an /All clear, no one has bugged our bird. You may now speak freely without the walls having ears./ “It was either take the tanks, or let the grunts beat and kill the GI Gundam troops. Which would you prefer, you cannot have both. It is a fine fucking line, and I am sure you would agree with me… better to take the tanks than to watch the GI Gundam troops get murdered. Especially that new hood ornament, that would have been a shame, if he were to have been killed.” Cobra Commander speaks quietly but with a smug purr in his voice in mentioning the state they had left Heero Yuy in. “You know that I could easily inform our superiors on what you are doing.” Storm Shadow says, without betraying the surprise he felt over the fact that Cobra Commander had just admitted to choosing to keep the GI Gundam men safe. There was no reason why Cobra Commander couldn’t have stolen the tanks and let the GI Gundam men get beaten and killed. Yet he had chosen to take the tanks and ordered his men to let the GI Gundam men alone, tied up, awaiting rescue in both locations by other GI Gundam forces. /What is he playing at?/ Nataku asked, mirroring Storm Shadow’s thoughts, Storm Shadow was glad to know that he wasn’t the only one baffled by Cobra Commander’s words and actions. Cobra Commander was even defying Nataku’s logic circuits. “Hmm… you could. But then I would have to reveal that you are not as you seem. And you are not as you seem now are you, Chang Wufei?” Cobra Commander asks, with a clear smirk in his voice and probably on his face under his hood and mask. Storm Shadow Wufei felt as if he had just broken into a cold sweat. “Oh, don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. For now. I have my own reasons and my own agenda. Getting caught by GI Gundam would hamper those reasons and agenda. But sending one undercover GI Gundam under the bus would not be unconscionable, if I absolutely had to. But we can keep each other safe, for now. Meaning, don’t get in my way and don’t think to get me killed by revealing my secrets to the scientists unless you are wanting to commit suicide.” Cobra Commander warns with a very deadly serious voice, his amber eyes also conveying that deadly serious message. “I will not say anything… for now.” Storm Shadow Wufei says. “That will do.” Cobra Commander says with a nod, turning his attention to a data pad he pulls from one of his many secreted pockets of his outfit. Storm Shadow Wufei couldn’t figure out how the man did that…. hid so many things…. without betraying that he had anything other than his clothing on him. Cobra Commander was as bad as Heero Yuy was in secreting all sorts of odds and ends away in various locations on the body. It made him wonder if they were related, or at least came from the same kind of street schooling, as everyone could swear that Heero Yuy was the master of ‘spandex space’. When they had left, the Cobra forces let Barricade go with the Leo that didn’t have a hood ornament attached so that he could ensure the GI Gundams were “rescued”. The others left tied and away from Heero’s sight. All Heero Yuy could do was wait and bitterly remember the fight and how he should have done differently, which made him think on the other times the GI Gundams had faced off against this rather crazy Cobra Commander.

Cobra Commander didn’t look forward to going back to the “home base” of Cobra, because it meant that he would have to go see and debrief with the scientists, he hated that, he hated them. It was because of them that he was even in Cobra at all. They had messed with his makeshift family before, and anyone who bothers the Sweepers…. Gets Shinigami after their asses. But the scientists didn’t anything about Shinigami, nothing about Duo Maxell either…. And they sure as hell didn’t kniw anything about the one known as Cobra Commander. ::They just think I am their pawn, their little sheep. Let them think that, the more they underestimate me, the stronger my grip will be to yank their world out from under their feet.:: Cobra Commander angrily thinks as he watches Deathscythe typing out the full report (minus a few things) of what had all just happened. Which was another of a long line of reasons he was grateful to have the A.I., Deathscythe always was willing to type out the mission reports for him, because he, himself, hated the things with a passion. If they wanted to know… they should have been there. But secretly, Cobra Commander was very happy those troglodytes didn’t like to leave their laboratories… he couldn’t stand their presences any longer than necessary.

Author’s Notes

1. Do as you will, could be entertaining. 2. I didn’t quite mean it that way.

RP Storylines

Ya know I’ve had an RP going for about seven gods damned years now... and holy fuck has it been a ride...

Part 1: In the Beginning

Romance Dawn: kind of just getting to know our characters. Establishing the world...

Here There be Dragons... and Vampires: here’s where he introduced his dragon and stuff and I introduced my idea of vampires, long story short just space furries infected with a virus that makes them dependent on blood.

For a Price: introduced the mayor of the town to his new bodyguard, who was an assassin that failed and ended up working for him. If you can’t beat them, join them. It’s here where two other characters meet, Jenny a Boa, and immagrant from a foreign land is here searching for someone by the name of Urban, a cobra, and ends up living with a family of demons (not bad ones jeez) and decided to stay with them while she searches and falls for one of the family’s sons Micheal.

Part 2: of gods and men

Daughters of Fate: introduced two Ammy, Shi, and the concepts of gods. Which would become a big part. Anyhow Ammy and Shi are twins and the only surviving daughters of the God of Fate, not mentioning their adopted brother, Legionnaire, basically a bunch of souls in one body after some tradegy that Fate has taken in as his own.

Macinations of the Fallen: Ammy and Shi get wrapped up in a plot with the Guardians of Fate, Demi-gods that serve the God of Fate, who were deceived into attacking the others by a Furry-made Fales Fate, in order to gain control of the Book of Fate. In steps the actual God of Fate (their father), and her their mates Luki and Ryder. Who poison the False Fate and kill it.

Redemption: Basically Fate gives his powers to Legionnaire as his successor, the guardians of Fate move on to live their lives, and all is well... after this once of the guardians settles down establishing a family,

Part 3:The Kingodom in the Sky

The Runaway Princess: Jenny, the Boa from before is suddenly one evening visited by another Boa, escorted by a Royal guard, here to take her home. Here t is revealed that Jenny is the Runaway daughter of a foreign kingdom the Aolla kingdom, and her mother has died. Poisoned by an assassin and her father has sent out for her to call her home, she brings Micheal along as he is her mate. Once there the kingdom is in a sense of disarray due to the queens death, the archipelago that makes up the kingdom is distraught with the fact their loving queen has died. They arrive at the The flying city that is the capital of the kingdom, to quite the fancy reception.

Meet the family: here I basically introduce her brothers and sisters. Her father, the guard, all that Jazz.

All Hail the Queen: after the burial and the hunting of the assassin the queen is finally put to rest, in a small quaint village where she was born. Thus Jenny, the middle daughter and most trusted of the kids, is put to the head of this matriarchal kingdom, as the queen. Micheal her king... but deep below in some ruins... all is not well...

Part 4: TheDawnTheDawnTheDawnTheDaw-

False gods: Deep below, in the ruins of the old kingdom, an explorer and Ace, a child of one of the previously mentioned guardians of Fate. Starting hearing whispers, following the whispers they find a machine, a huge, glowing clockwork mechanism, spinning constantly, and it speaks to the Demi-god Ace. Telling him that to release it, to give the Dawn to those below... the machine freezes and unfolds to reveal a fox, with intricate glowing marks on him. A false god. That was the downfall of the previous kingdom, but the savior of the current.

There Down below: after waking up, Dawn, the fox and false God of Fate is named by the family Ace is from. After venturing back to where they woke Dawn, he can hear something below, without warning the floor falls out from below them and they plummet, far, far below. To a sea another archipelago of islands. Deep below the surface. A island chain that borders with colony of Hell itself, and the kingdom of tigers that holds them at bay. Here Dawn makes his way to the frigid south of the ocean, where he passes through two gates with massive statues overlooking them, (kinda like the ones from the never ending story) and is bestowed true godhood by a unknown figure. After returning to the surface world, the kingdom above finally unite with their ancestors in the kingdom below.

part 5: Deadmans Gun

The Old war: basically, Alex, one of the space vampiresz explains to his new lover, one of the dragons from the opening part. details a 1000 year war that they had with a species of space dragon, and how they had to bring other species that were oppressed under the space dragons into an alliance to win, this establishing the Vampiric Empire, of space vampires. He then goes on about how the family he loved and had was murdered one night by assassins. And he returned to earth to simply live out his life in solitude. And it was a miracle that he found his former wife and kids alive due to the empire miracles all these years later.

What once Slept: character I never mentioned are deployed to spy on possible targets for a mass killer, someone who has evaded the vampiric empires police and has been killing high officials, when they arrive at the next target hey go undercover. When the attack happens, sirens blare as the assassin misses their target but gets the information she wanted from them, she turns and leaves killing all who try and stop her, including one of his characters (a non-vampire), I left him dying and bleeding on the ground from a punctured lung, as the assassin turns and wanders out, the others to busy trying to save his life. In the end. He was turned vampiric to save him, much to his own disdain.

The sins of the empire: the doctor they were sent to guard, finally tells them what he told the assassin, this was all about how the empire had killed Alex’s family and taken his lover, and cloned her, over and over against her will so they would never have to lose their best assassin, Katherine, in stasis for thousands of years being cloned she finally woke up due to a mistake of the staff, pissed off. She went on a rampage, killing the lab staff down to the last one, and then beginning her hunt, she then hunted down all those responsible for taking away her family. And killing any clones of herself she can find.

The Lucid Dream: the team catches up to her on earth, though any assassination attempt she was going to try on her clone here (the ones Alex had foun years later) was stopped, because she ran right into a big dragon, Chaos, Alex’s new lover previously mentioned. After a emotional exchange, she basically tells Chaos that she’ll leave everything as it is and leave, knowing that he survived is enough, but to never tell him about terrible fact that his family, the ones he found, are just clones, not the real thing. She then leaves to go start her new life. A life free of the empire, of war, of it all.

Part 6: Redemption of a Demon

Welcome to hell: this part pretty much details the hierarchy of hell, their feud with angels, and it’s here I introduced Aisling Bloodletter, a daemonette and survivor of a disgraced clan, the only survivor of a clan that tried to steal the power of the devil himself. She was a child and was spared. Knowing that she would not try the same. Now she seeks to rebuild her clan, and after proving herself to the lord of hell she is granted the ability to rebuild her clan. Choosing many would be slaves as her family she mothers children, and begins to rebuild it.

Sins of our Fathers: here it details what exactly her father did, and connects it to his (my RP Partners) family of demons from the beginning who were put to stamp out her clan and purge them. The children she mothered have grown and are beginning to bring honor back to her clans name.

City of Outcasts: it is here I introduced a City of nephilim, a city that acted as a hub of sorts and a safe haven for demons and angels, the nephilim are children of demons and angels, and more powerful than either, but the leader of the city Loken, does not want to war, only defend himself and his people. And fend of attacks from both demons and angels.

Part 7: Shadow of War

Drums: deep below, in the sea beneath the Aolla empire attacks from the breakaway colony of hell ramp up, the tiger kingdom and the Aolla Kingdom fiend them off with ease but the ferocity of them surprises everyone... and within hell, Aisling can feel something her entire family can feel the beat of drums in the distance. Something is going on within that breakaway colony...

Requiem: breaking into the colony Aisling and a Rain, her second in command in her revived clan break into a mosoleam in the middle of the colony. There the find her Father Tomb, open, and she gets almost killed by her revived father who was both proud by the status she had achieved, and angry that she took his clan from her and sought to take back his place by bloodshed but if it wasn’t for the intervention of Legionaire, acting as the new god of Fate... changing Aislings Fate, she would have died there. After escaping Rain and Aisling report to the lords of hell what exactly has happened, and what will happen. Her father has risen from his grave by unknown means. And he will come for her...

That is where our story is now. Aisling and the others await her fathers next move... what will happen... well it’s being written one day at a time...

There is a lot in the RP that has been taken from games, other sources of media, but a lot of it is original... and yes every character is furry, yes I am a furry.
