#less for the incident

[mightyer-than-the-sword]

Once again experiencing episodes of intense guilt and anxiety over random things that are not actually sin, would appreciate prayer

#this started up i think when i got writ up for making a mistake at work #by accident #and I was at first assuming it might be a retaliation incident #but no it did happen i just didnt remember at first #but i felt guilty #less for the incident #as much as assuming something bad about my boss #but it was a mighty coincidence still #and i am feeling anxious because i have confirmed that my overall money is decreasing #pray for me pls #i know its mostly a winter thing but #aaah

so in an attempt to actually use positive thinking, anytime i fuck up and my brain reacts as if ive cause a minor apocalyptic event, i compare my fuck up to the 4 minute fuck up committed by the crew of the uss william d porter.

and only today, as i was having to explain what happened to my mom when i was explaining the whole comparison thing, did i realise that most people dont know about it and ive decided that needs to change because its objectively hilarious.

...which is a weird thing to say about an event that occured on a warship in 1943, specifically november 14th.

see the uss william d porter was a fletcher-class destroyer but you dont need to know what that means, just that she had guns that went bang bang and that she was escorting another ship, the uss iowa, to cairo.

while they were on their way there, they performed some gun trials like testing the anti-aircraft guns or the torpedos. and while they were running a torpedo drill, the crew of the porter managed to fire a live torpedo straight at the iowa which you know, in terms of a list of things to do while escorting a ship, shooting a torpedo at them is not on that list.

especially if the president of the united states is on board.

yeah so fdr was on board and the gun trials were actually his idea, and part of the trials was that they were conducted under radio silence.

and that means the crew of the porter couldnt just call the iowa to be like "move out the way, we accidentally shot a torpedo at you."

but they did have signal lamps and you know, the signalman on board was trained to signal this exact kind of message.

...and uh never mind, the signalman did manage to successfully tell the iowa that a torpedo was coming toward them but wasnt as successful when it came to the direction the torpedo was coming from.

not all hope is lost though because the signalman could still use the signal lamp to correct his previous mistake and-, never mind, he announced that the porter was reversing, which she wasnt.

yeah so at catastrophic mistake number 3, they broke radio silence to warn the iowa and she managed to turn out of the way just in time which meant no one got hurt. and even though the inquiry into the incident led to chief torpedoman (fantastic job title btw) lawton dawson being sentences to hard labour, fdr intervened and waved away his sentence, saying it was all an accident.

but yeah, so thats my new measure for "how much did i really fuck up?" and when i compared accidentally picking up a pencil case without a tag on it in wilko, turns out it was a very minor fuck-up. yes, the cashier had to ask another worker to grab a duplicate so they could scan the barcode, but i didnt nearly kill the president during wartime via accidental friendly fire

#kai rambles #so like #i enjoy ships and learning about them and looking at them but like #i dont really care for warships #i dont hate them viscerally like i do cruise ships but i never really care for them #apart from the ones that were just like either ridiculously designed like the hms captain or the vasa or the novgorod #or the ones where just insane shit happened like with the william d porter #like this isnt even the extent of the porters unfortunate incidents like shr was sank by a kamikaze attack that MISSED #but somehow ended up below the ship and exploded and just like yeeted the porter out of the water #william d porter #uss william d porter #ww2 #world war 2 #world war ii #warships #again warships are really not my thing but god some of them are so fucking funny #uss iowa #fdr #franklin d. roosevelt #this suddenly got so many notes in like less than 24 hours what the fuck #shipposting

thinking about Aredhel—she goes to Celegorm and Curufin's lands and stays there for a while waiting for them to come back, then gets bored and wanders off and eventually comes to Nan Elmoth (and we all know how that goes) but I was thinking: what if Celegorm went after her? He tracks her to Nan Elmoth eventually, and…

Eöl's sorceries are powerful, but Celegorm has Huan with him and is blessed by Oromë, so I don't think he gets nearly as turned around as Aredhel was. He finds her and Eöl, murders Eöl and burns down the forest behind him rescues her from his enchantments, and sends a letter to Maedhros going "found Aredhel, might have caused a diplomatic incident, also I may have a son now."

#celegorm #aredhel #the fire was mostly an accident but only mostly #celegorm puts aredhel on huan's back and carries baby maeglin himself #celegorm is the third of seven he knows how to carry small children #and maeglin is way less squirmy than ambarussa were #maedhros fully believes the diplomatic incident is eloping with aredhel until he learns the rest #maedhros the tired: why couldn't you have just eloped. that would have been easier

It really does make me wonder what else has been shot down by Fox. Because buddie is obviously the thing that we’re more able to clearly connect dots on even before Oliver started saying anything about any of it, but you know it’s not the only thing, we just don’t have the threads to pull on for anything else

#I have this theory that is less a theory and more a feeling #because it has no basis outside my own impossible to pin down vibes #but it makes me wonder about Maddie and Chim #both as their own characters and a couple #idk maybe it’s the way that Maddie was often So isolated as a character outside of Chim and Buck and only occasionally Athena #maybe it’s the way Chim keeps getting put through the wringer without very much acknowledgement #not that I think every incident any of them has needs a trauma arc #but it gets brushed off. a lot #maybe it’s even the way we had that couples therapy line in the 6.01 synopsis that just never happened #I don’t know! like I said it’s vibes but I would love to know if there was meddling there as well #and also with anyone else too of course

Random Thought #33: Idk how to say this without sounding like I’m tryna diminish Jin Zixuan’s one moment of unambiguous good, but I don’t think Jin Zixuan defending Mianmian would ever have happened if he had to do something more proactive than just…ignoring the words of a man he had been building a simmering hatred for over the course of a few weeks.

Jin Zixuan is shown (and explicitly said) to side with people he considers “his people.” While they are all hostages of the Wen during the indoctrination camp, outside of that shared victimhood, Mianmian is simply a stranger to Jin Zixuan, while his “defense” of her is simply refusing to move out of the way when Wen Chao—the man who had been targeting him for harassment every day for weeks on end—ordered him to. This is a very passive resistance. And not to say that this wasn’t a good deed or any less of a powerful moment, but if Wen Chao hadn’t singled out Jin Zixuan for bullying, would he have still ignored the former’s words to move out of the way? If Jin Zixuan hadn’t happened to be standing by Lan Wangji and Mianmian hid behind only the Lan, instead, would he have said anything in her defense? Would he have even physically moved to shield her? Is any of that in-character with the behavior we are shown of his throughout any of the rest of the novel?

#mdzs #random reading thoughts #thanks orion… #now you have me on my jzxuan hate train again #but yeah I don’t want to say that this scene is ‘out of character’ for jzxuan #because i think the brilliance of mxtx’s character building is that it *isn’t* #jzxuan is *fine* with defending the weak #*when it is convenient for him* #he is fine with protecting those with less power than him #*when it costs him nothing to do so* #but the only time he’ll go out of his way to do those things #is if he considers the ‘offender’ to be someone he hates #and the ‘victim’ to be one of ‘his people’ #see: the soup incident #so while these variables all combine in a way to make jzxuan’s defense of mianmian completely in-character and plausible #it’s the potential of this NOT being his default moral position that interests me #the idea that someone who would normally be trash #could still do something unambiguously good #simply because the cards fell in such a way #that favored that good

“That one time Barnaby broke somebody’s jaw for going a little too far w/ insulting Wally & almost got expelled <3”

Full story please? <3

WITH PLEASURE!

for those who are slightly confused, this is for 'my' modern human au! well. modern-ish!

okay so when they were in freshman year / 9th grade, Barnaby and Wally are soldily Bonded. they are a set, do not separate. they receive a lot of shit for this, because some kids are assholes and that's especially true for 14yr olds. and it's 2006. so Wally and Barnaby get teased/bullied a lot for their closeness. at this point they're kind of used to it. they met early in 7th grade and have been inseparable ever since. most of it slides off of them

but what is Barnaby was having an especially stressful week? one of those weeks were everything is going wrong, nothing is working out. so Barn is at the end of his rope, and then one of the main kids who likes to bother them insults Wally specifically, and badly. like it's some next level So Bad Its Almost Impressive shit. at present Barnaby is walking to his next class with Wally and Poppy. so Barnaby just kind of stops in place, mentally chooses violence, turns, walks up to the kid, and punches him as hard as he can. it knocked the bully out instantly and broke his jaw.

and keep in mind that at this point in time, Barnaby isn't the big strong guy he is later on. he hasn't had his main growth spurt yet. and he still packed enough of a punch to do Damage - which makes him even more intimidating when he Does hit his growth spurt and towers over practically everyone

the pros of this event: Frank and Julie were watching, and Frank respected Barnaby's response so much that he allowed Julie to bring him to hang out with the growing friend group at lunch / asshole kids were less inclined to insult Wally and Barnaby (or his friends) to their faces

cons: Eddie was also watching and was too scared of Barnaby for the rest of their school career to try and talk to him or his friends / Barnaby nearly got expelled but did get suspended, and that's a permanent mark on his record

so the kid goes down, everyone freaks out. Barnaby is still too angry to feel anything other than pissed off vindication. naturally higher Authorities (teachers) come to get the unconscious student to the (i almost said vet) nurse's office, and to bring Barnaby to the principle's office. they call Ms. Beagle and have her come pick him up. Wally has stuck like glue to Barnaby pretty much the whole time, except for when Barnaby was in the office to get chewed out / interrogated. when Ms. Beagle is done w/ her conversation with the principle, she takes Barnaby and Wally home.

there, Barnaby is still worked up, and as "punishment" Ms. Beagle has him do some menial tasks alongside his usual after school chores. Wally tags along, of course, and asks why the hell Barnaby did that. in a nicer Wally way of asking. this is what breaks the camels back. Barnaby just sits down and starts crying, to which Wally is like "oh no. oh fuck. what do i do." cue a solid minute of him just standing and staring in panic before awkwardly sitting next to Barnaby in solidarity.

when they go inside, Ms. Beagle already has Barnaby's favorite dinner whipped up and ready. She gives him a talk where she's essentially says "blah blah blah violence isn't the answer. however, good job for standing up to that kid. he's an asshole and deserved a good wallop." (listen im a firm believer in ms beagle having been a Wild Youth that would have thrown bricks at cops). Moods are lightened, they have a good dinner. The next day or so they need to go have a meeting with the Injured Kid's parents. that's when they find out Barnaby fully broke the kids jaw (he feels a little bad for that) and that the parents are pushing for his expulsion and also juvie. Ms. Beagle manages to whittle down the sentence to a long suspension and then detention for the rest of the year, as well as her paying the kid's hospital bill.

tl;dr Barnaby punches a kid for insulting Wally, gets a new friend out of it, nearly gets expelled, and gains a mostly unfounded Reputation that dissuades most from outright messing with him or his pals

#julie: theyre fun people! come hang out with us! #frank: i dont want any friends other than you #frank: *witnesses The Incident* hm... ill allow it #this is all Important to me #because barnaby isnt violent? hes a laid back guy. & a wordsmith - he doesnt need his fists in order to deal damage #but then for the rest of his highschool career hes The Scary Guy #especially when he hits that growth spurt #i mean! at least it means his friends are messed with less! #but it also means he tries harder to be disarming and Funny. charming! with excellent self control #he had great self control to start with but yk. anxiety over People Talking #it also means hes less inclined to be rebellious of any kind since he doesnt want to push his luck #rambles from the bog #wh modern human au #in the future when eddie is part of the circle he brings up This Incident #theyre all able to laugh about it since its been like... over a decade at that point #but yeah <3 #and barnaby has not punched anyone since! #frank however.... #if there was a fight in their middle/high... he usually was at the center of it. or at least near the center #not that anyone can prove anything! he was very good at not getting caught

sorry thinking abt the bad kids again. thinking about how they keep having to do things that they shouldn’t have to. thinking about how seven girls went missing in their freshman year and they were the only people consistently making progress in finding them. thinking about how they were expected to return the crown of the nightmare kind in a week. thinking about how they couldn’t even get a real break afterwards because they immediately went back to school and then had to fight the night yorb over summer break. thinking about how the bad kids literally BROUGHT BACK THE SUN and the only way they can get school credit for any of it is for each of them to write a ten page paper. for each incident.

#honestly like just thinking about augefort hs in general #cause how tf are the rogue students learning anything with out their teacher #is it like an online class?? is the class just pre prepped for when the students get there #why was kalvaxus made in the vice principal #WHY WOULD AGUEFORT KILL HIMSELF IF HE KNEW KALVAXUS WOULD BE RELEASED #fhjy spoilers #just to be safe even tho i dont rlly mention junior year #fhsy spoilers #fhfy spoilers #d20 fhjy #d20 fantasy high #d20 fhsy #d20 fhfy #on a less serious note if jace and porter arent in cohoots i will riot #THEYRE ALWAYS TOGETHER MAN #they were together after the corn incident! #and they checked on ragh together after prom!! #and ig that was it lol #idk man they should kiss #shut up cj

Possible pronmpt!: The chain witnesses Wild and Flora just casually insulting eachother and bickering like two sassy snarky pre teens.

(Their really confused)

After nearly a month of constant traveling with no access to real beds or civilization, Hateno had been an extremely welcome sight. To the point where they unanimously decided that they would spend a few days there just to rest.

It was there they met Flora, and there they realized that the princess and the hero of this era were far more similar than they seemed aware of.

"I hope you managed to not injure yourself too badly in my absence," Wild teased less than a minute after basic introductions were through.

"Says the guy with at least two more visible scars since I last saw him..." Flora raised an eyebrow.

"You can't blame me for being worried after you tried to get struck by lightning to test out your newest elixir concoction, or stumbled upon a Lynel's territory because it just happened to like to hang out inside of some ruins, and then repeated that mistake multiple times..."

"Whatever, I'm not the one who has to break the habit of using dying as a battle strategy. I do hope you cataloged at least a little bit of your travels through time," She retorted.

"Even better, I have samples. And pictures. But you're not getting any if I find lizard parts stuck to my favorite pan again."

"Oh, that's not going to be a problem, I make my elixirs outside now after I realized how badly they stunk up the house, or I guess, how the homemade incense stopped being strong enough to cover it up. That being said, the outside wok will need some serious sanitation before you use it for normal cooking."

Twilight looked between the two in gradually mounting horror. He had so foolishly assumed that Wild's Zelda would somehow be the poised intelligent girl that his protege had described. And while it was clear that she was incredibly smart, she was also devastatingly similar to her corresponding hero.

He watched as she led Epona to their stables with an apple as a promised reward and the only thought that passed through his mind was something along the lines of,

'Oh Hylia, there's two of them...'

Hold on, you’ve SNAPPED TWO STRAPS?

haha yeah!!

strap one: my very first strap. it was this neoprene nylon situation that seemed sturdy enough until i used it for a third time and one of the buckles just snapped, causing everything to swing wild and for me to die a little inside

strap two: the strap i bought right after the previous one. i figured that if the material was the issue, i'd just go for a leather one. honestly i can't remember the model, but it had a reputation for being really reliable. i mean, the reviewers said they had theirs for years, so i thought this one would last, right?

well, i could only hope. i've got hips and thighs for days and at the time, i really loved training legs so as i adjusted to grind even harder there was this rrrip before everything else came loose and all i could do was pause midstroke, confused.

i met their eyes.

their eyes met mine.

"did you just...break another strap?"

i nodded.

"fuck, that's so hot," they said as they crawled closer. "break me next."

#i was fucking mortified #also both times happened less than a year apart lolol #strap 2 did last four sessions so it was more durable i guess #i also was a little drunk during the strap 2 incident so i did not dial back my strength as much as i should have tbh #it's just hard being thick lol #thanks for the ask :) #asks #story time
