George Metesky, called the Mad Bomber, in a detention cell on February 19, 1957, at Brooklyn Criminal Court. Metesky terrorized New Yorkers for 16 years in the 1940s and 1950s by planting bombs in theaters, train terminals, libraries, and offices. He was found legally insane and committed to a state mental hospital.

On This Day in New York City History January 21, 1957: After a 16-year bomb planting spree, George Metesky (November 2, 1903 - May 23, 1994) aka The Mad Bomber is arrested at his home in Waterbury, Connecticut.

Metesky's M.O. was placing pipe bombs in New York City public spaces such as libraries, theaters, phone booths, public restrooms, bus and train terminals. Luckily, while two thirds of his bombs exploded none of the explosions led to casualties. When asked why he was engaging in terrorism for such a long time, he placed blame on his employer Con Edison.

In the letters sent by Metesky to the New York Journal-American newspaper, he claimed that he was leaving bombs because he was never properly compensated for an injury we sustained while working for Con Ed. It would take the work of Con Ed clerk Alice Kelly to discover who the Mad Bomber was.

Kelly was going over worker's compensation files when she discovered a file that had the key words "injustice" and "permanent disability" written on them. Both words had been prominent in the notes that Metesky had sent to the newspaper.

While Metesky was looking for his day in court to show the world how negligent Con Edison was, he would not get his way. Metesky would be found to not be competent enough to stand trial due to reasons of insanity. He was sent to the Matteawan State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. He would be later transfered to Creedmoor Psychiatric Center where he stayed until being released in 1973.

Mad Bomber

While many “mad bombers” aren’t actually mad, it takes a special kind of crazy to devote one’s life to studying explosives. Most alchemists who specialize in this field are incorrigible pyromaniacs who take great pleasure in burning, blasting, and blowing things up. Mad bombers are always working to improve their bombs’ effectiveness.

BLASTING SPECIALTY Starting when you choose this field of study at 2nd level, your bombs deal double damage to objects and structures.

FORMULA: SHRAPNEL BOMB At 2nd level, you can augment your bomb’s explosive contents with metal bearings, changing it into a shrapnel bomb. A shrapnel bomb deals piercing damage instead of fire damage, its damage dice are d8s, and it explodes in a 10-foot radius.

TIMED DEMOLITION Starting at 6th level, when you prime and throw a bomb, you can set a duration for its detonation, which can be any number of rounds (any increment of 6 seconds) up to 1 minute. The bomb detonates at the end of your turn after this duration. If a creature is in the area of more than one bomb’s blast radius simultaneously, the creature is only affected by one of the bombs of your choice.

BLAST SHIELD Starting at 10th level, you have developed an elemental plating to protect you from hazardous energies. You gain resistance to your choice of acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage and can change your selection whenever you finish a long rest.

FORMULA: BLACK POWDER BOMB Beginning at 18th level, you can replace your bomb’s explosive contents with a charge of black powder, changing it into a dreaded black powder bomb. A black powder bomb’s damage dice are d12s.

How do you think Ghost feels about Forsaken? Do you think he ever tries to talk Wolf out of it?

(Also: think about What Could Have a Been and Wolf. )

He tries, once. It gets somewhat heated.

He's nigh begging them, after the first Baron, that there's another way. They can claim justice, but this isn't justice, this is blood for blood-

He accuses them, in the heat of the moment, of disrespecting His memory.

They do not speak for days after that, even at Ghost's timid encouragement. He doesn't know if they're ignoring him, or if they don't hear him.

That line is blurred even more with the Mad Bomber. He does not think they hear him telling them they aren't a murderer, no matter what the Baron says. He's not sure he believes it, either. But this is his Guardian, regardless of what comes between them.

He does not bring it up again. He doesn't want to push them away.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU MEANT THE ARCANE OR THE GONE WEST ONE. BUT DAMN. BOTH HURT (i do think the Arcane one fit Wolf specifically more tho)

#The Young Wolf #I will give it to the Gone West one-#“Words never said in a story that didn't end” hurt... alot #and the “What could've been - should've been - Do you still wonder?” did too #something I didn't put in the Reverse Forsaken Angel!YW drabble but felt I might as well leave here:#“The ghost of you lingers in everything I do. I have to wonder- Did I haunt you too?”#as a mutual questioning between Forsaken Wolf and Reverse Forsaken Cayde - both wondering. What if *they* had been the one to die?#Would the other have been haunted by the one's death as well?#ALSO SORRY IF I GOT THE ORDER OF EVENTS WRONG FOR FORSAKEN. I ONLY REALLY REMEMBER THAT ONE PIECE OF DIALOGUE FROM THE MAD BOMBER

Crash Bandicoot: Warped - Mad Bombers:

"Here's another plane level and this time you play as Crash himself. It's pretty much the same as Coco's' level but with an uglier color scheme and harder enemies to deal with."

PS: the gameplay used for this gifset is not mine. The original video belongs to the user: Thegamerwalkthroughs, on Youtube.
