[punk hazard/dressrosa arc spoiler heavy lawlu rambling]

recently I saw a video that was comparing luffy to naruto and the fact that luffy is not a hero when compared to naruto because naruto saved people even when the people that needed saving refused it (ie uchiha sasuke) but luffy? luffy saved countries on his selfish whim and all the other people he saved, he waited until they asked for it. he waited nami to ask for his help and robin to tell him she wanted to live.

except you know who? trafalgar law.

we could tell that law was planning on a suicide mission when he went to punk hazard on his own. he sent off his crew to zou and was wandering alone to find out more about the SAD factories and knew he risk angering doflamingo by destroying it. during that time, he saw an opportunity, formed that alliance with the strawhat and marched on to dressrosa.

retrospectively looking at it, there was no doubt that he was using the strawhat crew. he was putting them all in an unprecedented amount of danger by stepping on doflamingo's turf, the risk he wasn’t willing to put on his own crew that he sent away much earlier.

law definitely felt guilty over it.

at least for a little bit, when law watched luffy almost got his ass handed to him by doflamingo when law was helplessly restrained on the flower hill at the new king’s plateau and was making a fuss for the others to let him free despite his heavy injury until robin who could see through law’s intention and action had to say it: “luffy is here because of his own free will.”

after the deal at greenbit fell through and law found out doflamingo had been manipulating the press, he tried to break the alliance. threatened to kill luffy once luffy uncuffed him. but luffy just shut him up and lugged him all over the place like a sack of flour over his tiny shoulder and fought doflamingo till the end.

one could argue that luffy did that because rebecca asked him to, but revenge against doflamingo was also one of the things that occupied law’s the most since he lost cora-san. he just didn’t directly ask luffy to beat the shit out of doflamingo on his behalf. yet luffy did it anyway.

so back to the whole naruto vs luffy comparison at the beginning of this post? at least there’s one exception where luffy helped someone against his will and acted like a goddamn hero. and it is towards the damsel in distress that is trafalgar d water law.

#my gosh this rambling almost go off tangent because i cant round up my own thoughts #i feel so normal about them :) #i wanted to include manga screenshots to go with the rambling but it'll require me to go through the manga and i simply do not have the tim #i shouldnt even be here rambling about lawlu in the first place i have a garda vetting form to fill up and get packing bc im moving soon #am i putting lawlu up there against the great sasunaru? maybe #lol #lawlu #lulaw #trafalgar law #monkey d luffy #one piece #chromie writes #chrmz.txt

Mmm gonna ramble abt Spetin's ancestor the painter.

The thing with the current empress/ruler of Lillic, Slatum and Septin's Alternia is that she's a fan of The Arts, especially the classic arts. So basically she searched for a royal painter ever since she could,but no trolls managed to catch her eyes well enough... Until she met the painter.

The painter was still a young troll compared to her, but she had an undeniable talent in painting! So without any ability to protest, The painter was taken by the empress and became a sort of "daughter" to her. Since then the painter would paint many portraits or pieces of art that the empress demanded, having to deliver perfection each time.

There were other royal artists that came and went, but few managed to stay as long as the painter, often disappointing her ( which resulted in death). Eventually, the painter died of outside causes, and the empress would try to find a new troll to replace her... With little success...

At least until she learnt that The painter had a descen when she wasn't watching : Spetin. She contacted Spetin to tell her that next time she would come back on the planet, she would be taking her as her new Painter, and that she better not disappoint her

GOD okay finally wrote something in the last month that wasn’t finished and wasn’t like. for rpg game which i would post here however my fellow players are here and spoilers. but i digress - finally have worked wip recently! thank you @chromiwrites for the tag!!!! i’ll be tagging - lets see - @soccersarah01 @oriigami anddddddd @kawaiibooker !!!  Rules: Post the last line you wrote from any WIP and tag the same number of people as there are words From Ace Chapter of ESOM: Hellfire: Part 2. This is more than the last line but it was FUN

-- Ace shakes his head as a woman materializes in front of him. “Banshee?” He asks, bewildered, even as Deuce stretches his spindly arms and joins him on the deck of the ship. “What are –“ A hand, reaching towards his chest. Incorporeal for a moment but very capable of becoming corporeal. Of tearing out his heart. “What.” Banshee snarls, “Are you doing on my ship.” Ace doesn’t hesitate. “Stealing it, ma’am!” He tells her brightly, and turns to go check out the store room. Makino said provisions were key, but if there’s already provisions on this ship then Ace doesn’t have to worry about buying or paying for anything. He can just… go. Sail. Start being a pirate and have adventures.  He’s stopped again by Banshee’s outstretched arms, the air getting a little colder, a little deadlier, and oh –  It’s the weird, feeling cold.  “No.” Banshee tells him, looking somewhat confused. “Get off my ship.” “It’s not your ship anymore, though?” Ace tells her, just as confused, because duh. He’s stealing it. “ACE!” Deuce cries, admonishing. “I told you we can’t steal-“  “Yeah we can.” Ace cuts him off, side-stepping Banshee again. “We’re pirates. We can do whatever we want! Including stealing this ship!

Rambling about alts

I have absolutely no freaking clue which alt to use my Shadowlands boost on.  I like leveling characters, and I haven’t leveled since they added Chromie time, but I guess it’s a faster process now, so I’m in no hurry to rush through it.

I had toyed with the idea of deleting AU!Nyxondra the much-neglected priest and remaking her as a mage, just because I have too many priest alts and don’t enjoy the class as much as I used to.  Then again, I haven’t played since the pre-Shadowlands revamp, and I guess shadow is better than it had been.  And it’s not like I need another mage alt, either.  Speaking of which, I thought about boosting my nightborne mage, but I don’t want to forfeit the heritage armor.

I kind of want to delete an old, lower-level alt to make room for another new character so I can do the Exile’s Reach content, since I still haven’t set foot there.  I don’t know who I’d delete, though, and I really really really don’t need another alt.  Plus I don’t have any ideas for one at the moment.

Warrior and demon hunter are the only classes I don’t have on my main server, but I have max levels of each on other servers.  The only classes I don’t have at max level anywhere are priest and druid, but they were both 110 before the squish so it’s not like they have far to go.

I also still can’t wrap my mind around the level squish.  I get that 50 is the current max, what 120 was before the prepatch, but anything below that...I have no sense at all of what being level 35 means, for example.  Which is another reason I should level a new character, to get a feel for how it flows now.

Eh, I’m going to shut up and go hang out in Icecrown for a bit.  Grinding Scourgestones gives me major vanilla nostalgia, since I did that until I was exalted with the Argent Dawn in order to get keyed for Naxxramas (and then never set foot in it until WotLK, but oh well.)

#rambling about wow #my alts

[sandwyrm]

So I started reading War Crimes a few days ago.  Full disclosure: I am THAT person. That person that believes Garrosh would’ve been a very very good character if handled correctly instead of being thrown under the bus as a generic fantasy Hitler. And I also believe that Zaela suffered from the same predicament. To those of you who also know my SWTOR preferences, this doesn’t come as a surprise - I DO seem to have a very specific character type I end up liking and that one is always “Villain.”

So I went into this book full well knowing I’ll be reading someone’s justice fantasies and am reading it solely because I am interested in the villain. But BOY did I not expect the reaction I ended up having.

I ranted the ears of a few friends off for the past three days and I believe at least half of those people no longer want to talk to me, at least definitely not about WoW, and as such, I’ll just rant away in my little corner here just to get it out of my system. I’m sure I’ll end up offending somebody or other (rate seems about 50%) but I don’t much care right now.

So the premise is super simple. Everyone wants to just kill Garrosh but the neutral third party decides to give him a fair trial. “”””””””””fair””””””””” trial* (spoiler: the trial is heavily rigged by the author. but don’t tell her I said that) For this fair trial they have the Alliance appoint an Accuser and the Horde appoint a Defender. Now, the Horde having suffered at Garrosh’s hand too, is predictably reluctant to defend him, but Baine my new favorite character decides to do it out of honor and duty and because it is the right thing. The Accuser is Tyrande.  There is a gimmick specific to this trial, in which they have access to a widget that grants them a vision from any point in the past, and any point in any possible future. They have limited uses of this to make their point. This literally never comes up again, and half those charges are wasted on pointless crap. It was probably added for ~drama~ and yet not used... okay. From this point on, my thoughts will be rambly because I am in no mood to make a serious assessment of this book or any serious essays on my thoughts on the lore. If anyone asks, I’m game, but for now, not really.

Let’s begin! 

Five pages in, my will to live was already gone.

The first 50 or so pages read like somebody went to the forums and copied every single revenge fantasy post. The sanest character so far is Sylvanas. You don’t fucking want Sylvanas to be the sanest character in your book. Rethink your life. Hard.

Nobody wants a fair trial. What’s a fair trial. Oh my god, a fair trial interferes with our revenge fantasies. Fuck fair trials. 

There are six(6) sane individuals in the entire World of Warcraft setting, excluding allied races. These individuals are: Baine Bloodhoof, Varok Saurfang, Eitrigg, Anduin Wrynn, Jaina Proudmoore and Wrathion. Literally everyone else is a waste of space, occupying it with pettiness and idiocy. 100 pages in, this opinion still stands.

Chromie is still transgender in this book. Good.

Everyone lore significant is here to jack off to “justice”. Good start.

Oh look Alexstrasza is here and everyone is saying it must be hard for her. Misguided, I ask a few friends - guys what the fuck did Garrosh do to Alexstrasza because I don’t remember? Nobody knows. In my despair, I joke he’s getting tried for the crimes of a different orc clan 20 years ago.

Trial starts. Garrosh has a list of crimes longer than the credits for the game. Half of those aren’t even his, I joke before seeing them. I am proven correct not before long.

Garrosh claps and laughs when the list is over. “This is fucking absurd and entertaining and I won’t say I’m guilty or innocent because what’s the point.” I agree. How would YOU answer if you just listened to a list of 300 things out of which you didn’t commit 233 and you weren’t even alive for an additional 62.

He IS getting accused of the crimes against the red dragons 20 years ago by the Dragonmaw. Let’s assume for a moment this is solely because of his association with Zaela. Even so: they were both toddlers back then. More importantly, Zaela’s entire arc in her first appearance was fighting against the orcs that caused that mayhem 20 years ago so she can restart the Dragonmaw clan as more independent and honorable and strong. So why the fuck is Garrosh getting pinned with the crimes of a different orc clan, while he actively fought against the people responsible? Because fuck Garrosh that’s why.

Alexstrasza is on my list of characters that could die and I wouldn’t care. Next time, stop being a petty piece of shit. You worked with the Dragonmaw in Twilight Highlands against a common enemy in Cataclysm. But nooooooooooooooo. War crimes! And it’s Garrosh’s fault! Somehow!

That’s not even the only thing he’s wrongly, and completely unironically, accused of.

See, one of the first “evil” acts of his was dueling Baine’s father and killing him because Magatha poisoned his blade. She told Garrosh that tauren bless their weapons with oil and herbs before a duel - and in a show of good faith, he partakes in this presumed tradition. Nobody tells him that’s not true. Nobody stops Magatha. When it’s revealed what happened, Garrosh was the first one to flip his shit and want Magatha executed for the betrayal - of Cairne, of the tauren, of the Horde, and most importantly, of his own pride and honor. Baine tells him to leave Thunder Bluff and stay out of tauren politics. Garrosh is currently dead in lore, and if you asked anyone, he purposefully cheated against Cairne. The traitorous shaman is a player follower. Fair Setting, the MMO.

You’d believe at this point this whole book is meant to simply show a parable on how people are so quick to anger and dogpile on someone, they forget common sense. I assure you this is not the case. The author is throughout trying her best to prove that Yes, Garrosh is Guilty(tm) of Every and Each of One of These Acts. Even those he wasn’t alive for. Particularly those he wasn’t alive for. Those are his worst crimes. The fucking gall, Garrosh. Shame on you.

Trial starts. First witness. Velen. What the fuck does Velen have to do with anything, we all ask in disbelief, even the characters. You see, Velen saw the orcs in their natural habitat for like 500+ years. “We’re not trying the whole orc race here,” Baine the only person with common sense sighs. “Yes we are,” Tyrande bullshits. “Accepted,” the impartial judge exclaims. “Is it true they’re bloodthirsty savages,” Tyrande asks. “No, they were chill for 490 of those years,” Velen answers. “Is it true they killed you all?” Tyrande asks. “No, fuck off,” Velen answers. “OBJECTION she is LEADING the witness,” Baine sighs. “Overruled” the obviously impartial judge answers. About 10 more questions of ISNT IT TRUE ORCS ARE BAD, we get the first vision of the trial. Orcs are bad. “Actually,” Velen starts. “No, shut the fuck up, orcs are bad,” Tyrande exclaims.  “I’m sorry you had to relive that, Prophet, it must’ve been painful,” Baine offers. “OBJECTION, HE IS LEADING THE WITNESS”  Baine sighs and proceeds to prove that orcs were suffering from a blood curse that turned them into awful monsters. Velen agrees. Everyone agrees.  “Actually, objection, made up retcon, orcs weren’t corrupted or mind controlled by Mannoroth when they massacred the Draenei,” Tyrande exclaims.  Everyone collectively agrees orcs are bad. This isn’t racism. It’s just Facts(tm). Tyrande has an orc friend, you see, she’s not racist.

Alexstrasza hates Wrathion. Just go away already, Alexstrasza, you haven’t been relevant since the Cataclysm. Accidental racism in the narrative because Wrathion stands out as the only Arab in Azeroth, and it’s Bad(tm). Accidental sexism because we get this exact line talking about a dead draenei,

this book literally says “this girl will never become a sexy woman so orcs are bad”.

Nice.

Oh, I need to include this one:

Throughout the process, Tyrande keeps hounding people into opinions and corners, and every time Baine objects, he is overruled. But Baine respectfully apologizes to Velen, and he is successfully objected against. A Fair Trial, the book.

Zaela, Warlord of the Dragonmaw. Everyone thought she died. Surprise bitches, she lived. She’s also portrayed as somebody who dragged her severely injured self out of a warzone, gathered any other survivors from her side, whisked them off to a hidden place, and licked her wounds to fight again against injustice. We all know what this type of character denotes! An insane zealot. Oh you were gonna say an awesome character, huh. Too bad. 

Second day of the trial, we get an orc civilian as witness. He talks about how the Kor’kron, Garrosh’s elite military unit (whom existed before Garrosh but everyone associates with him obviously), have been hounding civilians.  Baine, poor Baine, tries to argue that what the military does isn’t necessarily condoned, supported, or ordered, by Garrosh. Predictably, overruled. How else are you going to accuse someone of war crimes if you don’t accuse him of everyone else’s war crimes, get woke.

Oh yeah not to mention the list of accusations in the start included “any acts anyone has done in the name of, or by the order of, Garrosh.” So they basically rigged the whole thing from the start. And wasted Baine’s time trying to argue against it. Nice job, shitheads. Fair Trial, the sequel.

We’re shown many instances in which the Kor’kron, not by Garrosh’s orders but it doesn’t even matter, beat up random military and civilians that speak against Garrosh. A totalitarian regime. No comments here. But keep it in mind for later.

But here’s a funny tidbit: Garrosh’s totalitarian regime has never caused any civilian deaths. This is repeatedly proven by facts.

Interesting tidbit: Throughout the process, Garrosh is repeatedly described as broken, staring blankly, staring at a fixed point, never expressing anything, never acknowledging anything, never speaking, never laughing, never interrupting. Anduin notices that every time he is led to and from the court, he is very polite and obedient towards the guards.  He also confides in Baine that he wants to just die already and be fucking done with it.  We all know what suicidal ideation, dissociation, and lack of feelings and reactions denote! Say it with me! Major depr----- Holding the court in contempt.

Throughout this whole thing, Thrall is pictured as a martyr. See, Thrall is the person who put Garrosh in power. Thrall put Garrosh in power in order to go away and save the world. It was an understandable, temporary situation, which Garrosh wasn’t really happy about, but he obliged, for the Horde he so loved. The Shattering mentions him as temporary Warchief. The TRIAL mentions him as temporary Warchief. Except Thrall decided at the end of the saving the world business that he actually likes his freedom and new waifu, so he went on to live the life of a honorable monk who keeps the world in perfect bal--- HAHAHAHAH JUST KIDDING. No, he just went away to live his own life while acting like a drama queen that “Garrosh usurped the Horde”. You know. The man he TEMPORARILY put in charge, that he could’ve just WALKED IN on at any time and demanded he step down. Usurped. Sure, honey. Well, Thrall’s here riding with one of his babies and promising that even if the Totally Fair Trial, the direct to DVD sequel, decides Garrosh is innocent by some fucking miracle, well, Thrall here, our hero and savior, is gonna anyway kill Garrosh in painful dishonorable ways because that’s what you do when you’re a sane, zen monk, and a wonderful pacifist, and whatever else the writers have been peddling Thrall as all this damn time.

Varok Saurfang is a witness. Tyrande hounds him. Stabs him repeatedly in the sore wound of having lost his son in battle. Baine objects. The totally impartial judge overrules. It’s fine to hound witnesses if you’re Tyrande, Baine, get up to date. Tyrande then hounds Saurfang into a corner where he has to admit he would kill for the Horde. You know. A soldier. Would kill for his country. Unthinkable horror.  Saurfang says he took arms against Garrosh. But that he believes Garrosh can still be redeemed, because he once had honor and ideals.  Poor, poor, Saurfang. This is why noone likes you.  Now see, Saurfang canonically suffers from PTSD and major depression. Every character knows Saurfang wants to kill himself. It’s “his quirk”. And yet, we have Tyrande here hounding the poor guy into a full blown PTSD episode just to admit soldiers kill sometimes. The narrative, the author, this whole crap, wants you to CHEER for this “victory”. Saurfang was an enemy, a hindrance, an antagonist, for refusing to testify against Garrosh from the first moment. He deserves this. He deserves to be harassed into reliving a traumatic experience and being on the verge of tears. Because he refused to falsely testify, like everyone else so far and everyone else after him (bar Anduin)

Shokia, a random orc sniper I’ve always liked, is here trying to rebuild her life as a former Kor’kron. Well life sucks for former Kor’kron, so she’s here doing what you do best. Which is meeting Warlord “I thought you were dead”, “Well, I lived,” Zaela. A brotp emerges. I’m rooting for the villains. My job is easy, the “heroes” are inept.

Anduin is called as a witness. Long story short, he is a precious little babe too good for this setting, and fully admits he fully believes Garrosh has good in him. Tyrande tries objecting so hard she falls off the chair. Too late.  Past this point, Garrosh requests to speak to Anduin in private an hour every day. Garrosh is generally polite, and they talk a lot of philosophical stuff, up until Garrosh loses his cool. Garrosh still gives off signs of major depress------ holding the court in contempt.

Sylvanas meets her sister Alleria in secret. They plan to kill Garrosh. Obviously. Other than that, it was an actually good scene.

Kalec is a dumb Man(tm) who accuses Jaina of being selfish for having feelings over the trial and over Theramore. Jaina, just dump him honey, you can do better. I know, as being one of the six sane people on this planet, it’s hard to find a suitable mate, but trust me, you’re better off alone.

Vol’jin is called as witness. He plays the martyr for Garrosh wanting to assassinate him. The court eats from his palm. Tyrande proves Garrosh “for no reason” wanted Vol’jin assassinated by the Kor’kron. Baine does his job. “What would you do against traitors, Vol’jin?” “Well I wouldn’t execute them... I guess.... maybe a little....,” Vol’jin bravely admits in front of the court and demigods. This is maybe a few weeks after Vol’jin ordered his new military to round up any surviving Kor’kron and any surviving Dragonmaw and execute them on sight. No trial. No “they were just doing their job for whatever reason”. No sense. No pity. You’re gray or you’re wearing this specific armor? You’re dead, sucker. Canonically, only about 0.2% of either group survive this point in history, and those are the very few that actively worked to aid the rebellion. Everyone else? Dead. But hey, Vol’jin don’t execute no traitors. Baine proves Vol’jin actually repeatedly defied, disrespected, and openly threatened Garrosh with death. Baine proved, without a shadow of a doubt, that Garrosh could have, in fact, ordered the Kor’kron to dispose of him in self defense, and even so after a long time of simply putting up with all the threats and disrespect. So by Vol’jin’s own admission, he would execute himself in the given circumstances. Everyone is mad at Baine. How dare, Baine. Giving us facts. Giving us truth. Giving us actually impartial justice. shake my fucking head. Nobody blames Vol’jin for shit. He’s still a martyr.

A “nazi” elf is looking at the city. He’s lamenting the stupidity of the trial. You should hate him, because he committed war crimes himself. I can’t hate him, he’s too correct about the trial being absurd. Warlord “I thought you were dead” “well I’m clearly alive” Zaela recruits him too. I shall call them the Disaster Squad. They’re the only reason I keep reading at this point.

Anduin talks with Garrosh in private. Anduin figures Garrosh would’ve been peachy and happy and friendly if nobody had backstabbed him.  Horrible. Anduin, take your pacifism out of here. We have Garrosh lash out suddenly because otherwise, he’d seem too human. Thank you writer for putting thoughts and desired reactions into our heads! 

Thrall is a witness. I lose all will to live. Thrall states that he would, and has, killed the Kor’kron that were keeping the trolls hostage. I want you to go back over the part where the troll leader has repeatedly threatened Garrosh with assassination. You know, in those cases it’s Garrosh’s RIGHT to put his elite guard to watch over the people who have repeatedly expressed dissent and bloodthirst. Any dictator in history would have executed them all or rounded them up, but Garrosh had them simply under surveillance. But nope. It’s the Kor’kron at fault here. How dare they oppress people. Don’t you know you can only oppress people if you’re at least this handsome and liked by the writers? If you don’t qualify, you’re evil. If you qualify, you’re justified. Too bad, Garrosh, you don’t qualify because Word of God. Thrall further testifies a bunch of other nonsense I fazed out of and don’t even recall. Then Baine gets a chance to question him. Thrall hates Baine. Thrall loathes Baine. Thrall despises Baine. Because Baine showed that Vol’jin was in fact a traitor all along. There’s no room for fairness and truth in the Horde Leader Cartel, Baine. You’re dead fucking meat, buddy. Watch your tail. Baine proves that Thrall in fact appointed Garrosh leader against Garrosh’s objections. Against the objections of everyone else. Baine shows that Thrall threw a toddler temper tantrum and went “FUCK YOU ALL, GARROSH IS WARCHIEF” and stormed out and slammed the proverbial door during a political meeting. Everyone hates Baine. How dare, Baine. Breaking the Horde apart restating facts. Shame on you.

Baine points out Thrall has shown mercy and honorable duels to other opponents throughout the years. Privileges he has not granted Garrosh. Upon being asked why, Thrall responds literally, “Garrosh is beyond redemption”.  Everyone knows I absolutely love it when this phrase is used by fans, and it absolutely makes my day when it’s used by canon sources.

Upon being asked what he would do to Garrosh, and would he duel him again, Thrall states no. By the gods, spirits, elementals ,ancestors, and all that, no, he would not fight Garrosh ever again. Not only was he planning to murder him painfully just a few chapters ago, he still murders him painfully in the game anyway. Painfully and completely dishonorably. In a way that was abhorred by all orcs. But we revere it when Thrall does it to Garrosh. Wonderful. Brilliant. Thrall our zen god who would never lie under oath or do harm, ladies and gentlemen.

Disaster Squad is here giving me a respite in this whole mess. Bless you, Disaster Squad, and Warlord “weren’t you--” “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I AM ALIVE” Zaela.

Tyrande brings her proof as to why Thrall was correct in appointing Garrosh. She literally pulls out, as evidence, a POSSIBLE future, in which Thrall had stayed warchief instead of going off and having babies in a rhythm MTV would kill for to have on its live reality saving the world. In this future, Thrall does not save the world, and we all die. So not only does Tyrande, to quote a dear friend, present her fanfic as irrefutable proof in this Totally Fair Trial the TV Series, she also basically implies that the only two possible realities are “Thrall stays warchief, we all die” and “Garrosh is appointed warchief, we all die because fuck Garrosh.”  You’d wonder, then, what of the infinite other possibilities, such as... I don’t know... appointing literally anyone else as warchief? Literally any other shaman except Thrall saving the world? This shocking concept of Garrosh is warchief but noone betrays him? What are these? We’re not adults here, we’re all toddlers in an absurd and pointless carnival of despair and stupidity, it’s all or nothing! 

I stopped here. I have 100 more pages. I’ll read and cry and rant when I get there.

If anyone got this far, I’m sorry, here’s a cookie. I love you.

[silversoulstardust]

watching atarashii joushii wa do tennen for the BL but I'm amused at how accurately they portray traumatic work experience

a simple thing could be triggering

and yet it could easily be fixed with a kind gesture from a superior

#ive been working for almost a decade now and ive had a fair share of horrible bosses. so i sympathize with momose #the worst I've gotten was when i was still working under the government. i worked an average 80 hours per week and my boss at the time— #hated me and how vocal i was against his abuse (read: cutting off contract workers and passing the workload on the overworked paramedics) #so he digged out some shit on me from a year before (read: went on vacation outside the country without notifying the gov) and — #gave me an ultimatum: get transferred to another hospital or face disciplinary actions (and risk not furthering my study) #so i left #anyway. five years later shit works out just fine and im grateful for that. but it was depressing at the time #all the hard work I poured was wasted on the wrong people #oof im rambling too much #sorry bout that. still salty about that boss #i hope he's living a miserable life #chromie is watching #atarashii joushi wa do tennen #my new boss is goofy #momose kentarou #chrmz.txt

Blood, Love, Fear and Humble (for both)

BLOOD. -What types of injuries has your muse sustained? What was the worst?

R: “The physical injuries that I’ve endured in my life are fairly few, and mostly minor. Mental injuries, on the other hand, not so much. Velen has always warned us of the costs of our existence, the perpetual fear and life on the run, and the loss of my parents besides... Some days it is hard. Some days, especially when I question the validity of my work with the Alliance, I teeter on the edge of a very dark place. It is truly through the grace of friends that I can balance on and, eventually, walk away from it. Some days I feel like Chromie and Jez are the only lights in my life, but they keep me going all the same.”

C: “I was pretty lucky growing up. Sure, I suffered the normal scuffs and scrapes any kid does in the Undermine, especially a kid whose parents are engineers, but I got by. Honestly, the worst wound I have - the only one I never got the scar magically removed of - was when Fraudy stabbed me to try and get me to leave her alone. I... It reminds me of what could be, and where I’ve come from, and what I’ve lost. In a way it’s like my key tattoo, but in reverse - if I see myself as the key to my own problems, the scar reminds me that I could just as easily go a darker path if i don’t keep myself level-headed.”

LOVE. -Does your muse have a “special someone”

R: “It is... a very open ‘secret’ that Chromie and I are dating. What isn’t as well known is for how long we’ve had this dance between the two of one of us making a small move, the other replying in kind, and the first stepping back out of fear and shyness. And yet, when I think of the last month or so with her, of all the things we’ve learned about each other, the laughs and jokes that we’ve shared, the... *ahem* Well, I certainly know that I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the multiverse. Maybe the waiting and the shyness and the worry was necessary for our love for each other to be this fierce and passionate and wonderful. And maybe, hopefully, she’ll... ah! I am rambling again.”

C: “Nah. Not anyone that I could be interested in where it wouldn’t be a big conflict of interest. Light knows I find Lulubelle attractive, but that’s the last thing I need, for the Council to consider me making her Second to be a a nepotism thing - she has enough issues of her own to deal with. I’d honestly really like a long-term ‘thing’, but... it doesn’t seem to ever work out for me. Either everything is a short-term fling for a couple of decent nights of fun (or not-so-decent, if you count some of the guys I slept with back at the Undermine), or something I really shouldn’t get myself into. Maybe there’s someone out there in that great big multiverse for me, but who knows where he or she might be?”

((Note that this is mainverse Calculine - the AU where she finds herself in Runeterra, she loves @keeper-n0t-hero‘s Poppy to pieces.))

FEAR. -What are your muses biggest fears?

R: “Not being good enough for the people that I love and care about. You would think that, as much as i have lost in my life, it would be to lose my new friends and loved ones, but I have dealt with loss so regularly that it has almost become rote. Beyond that, I understand the riskiness of the professions of everyone around me - much like myself, we all understand the risk we put ourselves into, and have come to terms with that. I could eventually come to terms with losing Jezriyah or Chromie, after a time... but to disappoint them? No. The idea scares me more than Sargeras ever freeing his imprisonment.”

C: “Death. Look, I know, it’s passe, I’ve come back from it, all that jazz. I get it. But I am always worried about the idea that I haven’t done enough, y’know? I want to leave my stamp on this hunk of rock, make sure that no one ever forgets the name Calculine Sparkdrive. The idea of actually dying - no soulstones, no resurrection, no tricks, no nothing - without having ensured that? It’s what drives me. It’s what keeps me running at full throttle as much as I can.”

HUMBLE. -How does your muse handle praise?

R: “Ah, I... Not well, if I am honest. Certainly, I do maintain an external demeanor that helps shield it, but the more I care for and respect someone, the more of a giddy, excited mess I become on the inside. To be commended or praised by Jez or Velen makes me weak in the knees, and to be praised by Chromie - especially in the bedroom? There aren’t words in common or draenei to describe how unnervingly happy it makes me. Sometimes I wonder if she knows, given how often she... well, that’s between us, really.”

C: “Usually I deserve it, so it is what it is. It’s rarer than it should be, because people are so quick to dismiss a woman, and even quicker still to dismiss a goblin and a warlock. I have it a bit better than Lulu, who has to deal with her brainless brother’s reputation, but still, you’d think that people would base things off results. If I hear ‘oh, that was really good for a goblin woman!’, I might actually start stealing souls like everyone is scared warlocks are want to do.”

Sollum and Spetin, two lonely souls, trapping themselves in isolation. All because of one tragic event they both shared without ever truly realising it.

One found support and shoulders to cry on, people to help her move on. The scars will never fade, but at least their pain were lessen.

The other only dug herself deeper in the hole, shutting herself away from others completely. She has been hurt, and refuse to be hurt ever again, thus only a bitter, lonely, isolated troll remain.

Fate is not kind or just, but it is not evil or malicious. Some have luck, others are eternally unlucky. Such is the game Fate plays.

"I don't believe we have thanked you yet for... well, saving us, really. If it wasn't for your beautiful and very touching comic, our mun probably wouldn't had brought us back. So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so so much!" Both Poppy and Chromie proceed to hug the hell out of Darius-mun.

Hey you should know you should do what ever makes you happy. I know from experience sometimes I dont always get to rp. Or Draw art. But you shouldn’t have to close your blog down. If anything when you feel down about it go on hiatus if ya need be. Or maybe try and think of things to spice up your blog. Hell Im thinking of doing  a contest soon myself. Most likely involving darius. People drawing maybe  fan art and making fanfics. the topic suggested. But above all you came here for fun. I hope others might have not discourage ya about your choice previous. But I believe you should do want you want and have fun. Sometimes things need time to grow but it get there. Anyway I rambled up enough. Darius is always here for ya.-Ruffles her locks.- Dont stress out so much and enjoy things. people care about ya.

The Pitchfork Disney. George Blagden (Presley Stray) and Hayley Squires (Haley Stray) Credit – Matt Humphrey 2017

Lights go out. Applause begin as the actors take their bows. I notice myself mindlessly clapping, mouth open and thinking, “What just happened?” Shaken, confused and a little scared I walk out of the theatre feeling not good, bad or otherwise… just mind-blown. That’s the effect of The Pitchfork Disney.

Written by Philip Ridley, The Pitchfork Disney is an absurd play about a brother and sister who lost their parents a decade ago and live life in fear. It’s a surreal dreamlike play set in a dimly lit room with furniture scattered alongside the walls of a very long and dingy basement. Audience members sitting in the first row could easily trip an actor due to the close proximity of the space. Jamie Lloyd’s clear direction allowed the actors to transform the space into a bizarre dream. Nothing describes “in-yer- face” theatre better than The Pitchfork Disney.

George Blagden and Tom Rhys Harries were two phenomenal actors to watch up close. Blagden as Presley Stray described dreams and memories beautifully with his emotionally captivating monologues. Harries as Cosmo Disney held an air of imminence as he swept down the room. The two completely absorbed their characters– the anger, fear and pain was clear not only on their faces, but in their body language. Watching the actors up close was much more personal and had a massive effect on the mood of the entire room.

As Presley’s younger sister Haley Stray, Hayley Squires filled the room with an anxious energy and a childlike innocence. Squires spoke so quickly that the audience had to be on full alert or they’d miss a rambling about chocolate. When Seun Shote, as Pitchfork Cavalier, bursts through the door this is the point where the play went berserk. My anxiety level reached an ultimate high due to the yelling and rushed movement from one end of the room to the other. Shote towered over Blagden, his presence was terrifying.

As an audience member, all I wanted to do was make sense of the senseless. I wasn’t happily entertained; I was engrossed in the nightmare that was unfolding before me. My heart stopped when Blagden and Harries had a fight directly in front of me. The intensity level of the play heightened and I was genuinely concerned someone was about to get physically hurt.

The Pitchfork Disney is not for a general audience – it’s for those who completely and wholly enjoy confrontational and edgy theatre. The acting is superb. The space is eerily brilliant. If you’re looking for a chilling play that will haunt you for the next 24-hours in the best possible way, then you’d better pick up some tickets for The Pitchfork Disney.

Review by Aly Chromy

You know why the ghost train is so popular? Because there are no ghosts. Once you’ve learnt that you can make a fortune.

Presley and Haley have bolted their East London home against the terrors of the world. Since their parents died ten years ago, they have found comfort in chocolate, medication and fantasies of nuclear apocalypse. But, one night, Presley sees a beautiful stranger on the street outside. And while Haley sleeps, he lets their worst nightmare in.

Claustrophobic, comic and deeply unsettling, Philip Ridley’s seminal masterpiece played a revolutionary role in changing the face of British theatre when it premiered in 1991 to critical acclaim and controversy. Its exploration of ‘a climate of fear’, living in ‘alternate worlds’ and persistent thrum of sexual anxiety has continued to act as a tuning fork for the zeitgeist – a play whose relevance is forever in the now.

Step into Shoreditch Town Hall’s atmospheric basement spaces and experience this unique, immersive revival of Ridley’s debut play deep in the eerie underbelly of East London.
