Happy birthday to Spartan Samuel-034!

Today is his -488th birthday!

Sam was born on Harvest and identified by Dr. Catherine Halsey as an ideal candidate for the SPARTAN-II program. Like the other candidates, he was kidnapped and brought to Reach for training and augmentation. Early in his training, he was paired up with John-117 and Kelly-087. They failed their first training exercise due to John running ahead of them and leaving them behind. They learned a lesson in teamwork and Sam asked to be friends, becoming the formative iteration of Blue Team. After augmentation, Sam emerged as the tallest and strongest of the SPARTAN-IIs.

On Eridanus Secundus, Blue Team grew, this time with the addition of Fred-104 and Linda-058. It was their first mission together and a success, but things would quickly change.

After the Covenant attack on Harvest--Sam's homeworld--the UNSC changed the priority of the SPARTAN program from Insurrectionists to the alien threat. The Spartans were debriefed and sent to retrieve their MJOLNIR armor on the Commonwealth immediately. However, the frigate was attacked by the Covenant, and Blue Team responded after donning their armor. Their plan was to plant Anvil missiles in the ship's engine room and detonate them, destroying the ship and its passengers.

There, they encountered their first Covenant combatants ever-- Kig-Yar soliders. A Kig-Yar fired a plasma bolt into Sam's armor as he attempted to protect John, breaching his vacuum suit. Realizing that Sam would not be able to retreat into space with the rupture in his suit, John ordered him to stay and defend the engine room. He remained, killing many Kig-Yar single-handedly before the ship exploded.

Sam's death devastated his team and the rest of the SPARTAN-IIs, marking the first death since augmentations. For Kelly, his death was a sobering reminder that the Spartans, while the best the UNSC had to offer, were not invincible. For John, it served as proof that the Covenant could be killed, although he blames himself for Sam's demise.

Years later, Blue Team still carries Sam's memory with them, and John would go on to use his name and number as the passwords to the Weapon's deletion routine, demonstrating that over three decades later, John's first friend is still fresh on his mind.

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing

#normally I don't chronicle my dreams here but fucking hell that one was funny #I think this would genuinely make tumblr better tbh #@ staff do this cowards #spy has thoughts #my life is a sitcom and i am my own laugh track #functional website #spy's smash hits #Glock function #edit for everyone in the notes saying 'everyone clapped'#I know I can't prove to you that it happened for real you're just gonna have to trust me on this #but I swear on my goddamn life I'm not making this up #I make so many conscious puns that sometimes my subconscious cooks up a real good one

I was at a Palestinian solidarity gig last night & the one Palestinian artist who was going to perform had COVID so the organisers asked around to see if there were any Palestinians who'd like to say a few words instead.

A local guy who was born & raised in Gaza offered to speak. He started with "I'm an engineer. i'm not a poet or a politician. I don't... do public speaking… I had no idea what to say when I came up here. So i'm just going to tell you about the street I grew up on."

And then he did! He went down the street building by building. He told us about the ice cream shop on the corner, the grocery shop, the charity that supports people with intellectual disabilities. He told us about the people who he knew growing up, the families who still live in the different houses. He told us about the university buildings and about his friends who quit being accountants to start a band together. All on that street.

All of which is gone now, by the way. Bombed to dust.

#Gaza #Palestine #I talked to him a bit afterwards but god what do you say!!#he said he found the gig helpful anyway. Supportive. So that's good.#I'm gonna see if I can find his friends band and share some of their songs #Me Fein

having a child has taught me that every toddler is completely justified in their frustrations and tantrums because learning how to do something you have literally never encountered or heard of before is insane. and being expected to be completely calm in the face of this constant barrage of overwhelming information is doubly insane.

i got charlie a sticker activity book and it occurred to me i have to TEACH someone how to unpeel stickers. it's SKILL that requires DEXTERITY and FINE MOTOR ABILITY. i thought it was obvious that you have to curl the page a little bit to create a break in the cut so the sticker comes up.

obviously a fucking BABY wouldn't know that because they have no background experience to inform their thought process. OBVIOUSLY. and OBVIOUSLY the LITERAL BABY wouldn't get it right the first few times. it would OBVIOUSLY take practice. lots of it.

i hate this feeling. it's so obvious. why are children treated so badly when they're learning everything for the first fucking time. why do people treat children so horribly and expect so much. they're brand new. why didn't i get the same grace i give to my child? why did no one have patience for me? why, when it's this easy?

it's so easy. it's so fucking easy.

#ok2rb #op #babbyposting #apologizing to my child is second nature #i'm brand new at it too #obviously im gonna fuck up here and there #its only right to apologize #why did no one ever apologize to me #not until it was too late
