#flak

[thatsrightice]

TIL when someone says they’re “catching flack” it’s referring to flak, the English shorthand word for the anti-aircraft fire from the German anti-aircraft guns. Most commonly used as a metaphor for criticism, the spelling of “flack” in this context is merely a variation of the word “flak” and they are essentially interchangeable. However, only the spelling “flak” refers specifically to the Flugabwehrkanone.

One whole decade old. An immeasurable infinite ancient knowledge, tamed by cookies naturally.

So yeah. Out of all the expensive, fancy, gourmet, over the top sweets I've gotten for Flak over the years, cookies still remain his favorite, with icing and sprinkles of course, so cookies he got, and he hunted down every last sprinkle he could get hold of. The horror, icing and colorful bits of gore slung everywhere, quite a sight to behold.

Flak doesn't care much for "chicken stuff" and doesn't stay outside long, but I've been doing more gardening work in the past couple days than I have in.. years. He's seen me digging around in the dirt and has joined in, supervising and letting me know if any threats (like a bumblebee or perhaps a falling leaf) get too close. We are both exhausted. It's been a good birthday for him I think; he's out cold right now.

I owe Flak my life. I really hope cookies are sufficient payment for today.

If SungWon Cho had a nickel for every time he voiced a character named ‘flak,’ he’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

Lunoly is serious and hardy, and a heavy artillery knight in combat.

Equipment details: Wields big flak cannon gun arms that reinforced like maces to smack his enemies with, and wearing heavy weight armor with bigger boosters to still manage decent speed. 1. Defender: Will take less damage if haven't been damaged recently. 2. Lunar Bomb: Shoot a round cannon ball at an opponent, which explodes on impact creating a big blinding explosion. 3. Meteor Ballista: Shoot a big high calibur round that causes a giant plasmatic explosion on impact, then creates many small floating projectiles that explode all together after. 4. Sentinel Assault: His shoulders project a shield overhead Lunoly in front of him, and his gun arms gain an additional cannon barrel on each side of the arms that shoots a spread of mini bombs each. During this state, all projectile size is increased. 5. Full Moon: His default fire now instead fires explosive high-caliber rounds with decent piercing and more explosive. He will gain an aura that both nullifies some damage taken and repairs sustained damages over time.

The moon sentinel stands his ground, an immovable light who will not hesitate to smite those from blighting it

Flak/Lash

English Bruise Cruise

Possibly from the phrase "cruising for a bruising".

Today was Flak's birthday, the big one one, eleven years! Little grumpy old-ass man.

Dug in the dirt some, harassed some people, got a peanut butter chess pie baked for him... I'd say he can't complain, but he can, he will definitely find something to complain about. (but he likes complaining too, so he can't really complain about that either)

#text #Flak #rooster #chicken #He had a rough winter health wise but has bounced back this spring #I think he was being a little dramatic and just didn't like the cold #But he was molting nonstop all winter and it was just hard on him #He's been feeling more like himself though and definitely had a good birthday
