Rewatching Ninjago
(With no context other than the episode)
Sons of Garmadon episode 5-6
FIGHT SCENE FIGHT SCENE
Mr E: (Cracks his neck)
Zane: Are you the quiet one??? ARE YOU THE QUIET ONE
Omg I forgot Zane used a bow and arrow for a while.
I love his fighting style, and weapons.
I like how we only see Zane fight seriously when its with other nindroids and powerful villains.
Because, you know, hes made out of titanium.
This scenes so cool. No joke, just Zane and this guy fist fighting it out as Zane screams for answers.
It just feels so real
Zane (sparking and injured): You dont have to do this….
Mr E: (kicks him off the cliff)
WHAT
NO.
the way Zane was so quiet, so pleading and understanding
I hate this
I remember seeing a post that says the animators were allowed to put more injuries on Zane since hes a robot and there wouldnt be as much gore.
Which is so true, because theres a huge gash on Zanes face and the only thing thats showing is wires.
Like imagine that sort of injury on the other ninja. Blood would be flowing.
DID ZANE JUST DIE!?!!?!?
HE LIKE, POWERED DOWN, HIS EYES WENT DULL.
I hated that so much he looked like he really died.
Stop. What is Mr. E putting in Zanes chest. Istg if thats a tracker im going to shit myself.
STOOOP. 😭😭😭 THE CAMERA PANNING OUT FROM ZANES BODY TO SHOW IT ALL CUT UP AND SCUFFED.
Even the intro music changed…
God, all of them finding Zane like that. They sound so scared.
THEY HAVE A GURNEY FOR SITUATIONS LIKE THIS?!?!?!? HOW MANY TIMES HAS THIS HAPPENED????
The transition from the bright spotlight to the doctor/mechanic lights was so good
Jesus christ Zanes in actual bad shape. Like actually. This is what would happen if one of the other ninja got hurt this bad. Zanes in a coma and its up to him to get better and wake up.
This is scary I dont like this 😭
It makes you think. That whole fight and falling off a cliff probably hurt a LOT
Wait so theyre LEAVING ninjago city? As in abandoning everything? I mean, thats the right move, but thats just crazy to me. Its been so long since theyve been outside of ninjago.
Baby Wu: WAAAAAAA
Jay: Maybe hes thirsty! Give him some milk!
Cole (handing Wu to Kai): I tried that! He doesnt like milk!
Jay: WHAT ELSE DO BABIES DRINK?!?!?
Kai (handing baby Wu to Jay): Dont ask me! Ask him!
Cole: HES A BABY. HE HASNT LEARNED HOW TO TALK YET.
Jay (handing Wu to Cole): Oh! maybe he needs a diaper change!!!
Cole (holding Wu as if he has a disease): ohmygosh, DO WE EVEN HAVE DIAPERS?!?!?
Lloyd: We’re NINJA, WE DONT NEED DIAPERS.
Jay: What if we used one of our hoods!
Kai: NOT MY HOOD!!!
HFDJFFJJDNNGNDGNLMAOOO
i love them all sm
Theyre all idiots
THEYRE TRYING TO DRAW STRAWS 😭😭😭
I love how Harumi is the one calming baby Wu down with a lullaby. Now we know she probably did this so if she ever needed to steal Wu he’d be comfortable going with her.
The fact that Harumi and Lloyd are comforting each other on their parents makes me so sad
She obviously asked him just so she could know more about Garmadon.
UHHH DID HARUMI JUST GO FOR A KISS??????
Lloyd: Uh! I um, better go see, uh. I have to go. That way.
AWWWW HES SO AWKWARD 😭 LOOK AT HIS LITTLE AWKWARD WALK.
Ok I get that Lloyd fell first, (which I like to pretend never happened) but if Harumis whole thing is becoming Garmadons daughter. Why is she making moves ON HIS SON. like thats so weird 😭
I get it tho, shes probably trying to gain his trust, and if they were involved, that realization would probably hurt a lot more.
Cole (watching over baby wu): awwww
Baby Wu: Wa… wa… WAAAAAA
Cole: no no no please dont cry!!! I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE. haha! Look at me! Hey! Lala! See, im not crying!
Baby Wu: WAAAA
Cole: Ughhhh FINE. but this is between you and me. 😒
Cole: shine little glow worm glimmer glimmer. Dont get dimmer dimmer
AWWWWW cole is so cute with kids
My favs for this season are definitely him and Lloyd.
THE BLANKY.
Pls tell me it has Wus name on it and thats why Cole gasped
Jay: Woaah… look at that storm!
Nya (navigating the ship): You know, there was an ancient tribe in ninjago that worshipped a storm spirit called Wohira.
Yayayayay Nya and Jay time :)
I love them sm and small moments with them are so cute
Look at Jay listen to his girlfriend infodump 🥺
Nya: They believed Wohira protected them.
Jay: Wohira? Haha thats silly.
(Storm crackles and shakes the ship)
Jay: AAA NOT SO SILLY ANYMORE
Just googled what who wohira is and apparently its woJira.
“Wojira (also known as the Sleeper in the Deep, the Great Serpent, or the Mighty Serpent of the Wave and the Storm) was a storm spirit in the form of a giant sea serpent. Before time had a name, she used the Amulets of Wojira to rule the seas of Ninjago.”
Huh, I hope Wojira comes up in the show she seems so cool
Ok so the ninja are all gathered up, and they learned that a trap was set from an audio recording Zane took. Ofc that trap is the thing Mr. E placed in Zanes body. But they think they can track the quiet one with the recording.
Its so funny to think that rn Harumi is probably shitting herself. She looks so scared 😭
Pixal: We need to go under the storm, its interfering with my signal and i cant trace the recording
Harumi: UM! wont we be spotted if we go under the storm 😀 we’ll be seen by the sons of garmadon!
Lloyd: Harumis right.
GODDAMMIT
Jay: So where do we go?
Cole (barges in holding a map): HERE! it was with the baby the whole time!
Ohhhh so the blankey was a maaaap
Kai: I dont get it? Why was the baby wrapped in a map?
Cole: I dont know, maybe they didnt have any diapers either.
Harumi (sick of their bullshit): THIS, part here looks like it can be the central part of ninjago 😀
Which in harumi translation is: hurry the FUCK up and stop MESSING AROUND so we can find the MASK.
Jay(trying to stab his meatball): Haha! Come here you little sucker!
Jay: (stabs kai)
Everyone:
Cole: (covers baby Wus eyes)
Jay: I… am so sorry….
Kai: Dont. Just dont.
Uhhhhh zane?
Holy shit holy shit holy shit
What THE FUCK is that
IS THAT THE TRAP SET BY MR E?!?!?!?!?
I THOUGHT IT WAS A FUCKING TRACKER NOT A MECHANIC SPIDER WTFFFF
It looks so creepy i hate it
It reminds me of coralines other-mothers hand.
The way it walks against the floor ughhh
i hate it so much
Nya: What are you feeding him?
Cole(feeding baby wu): tea!
Nya: WHAT?!? you cant feed a baby tea!?!?
Cole: He wont drink anything else!
Ooooo the lights went out….
Awww the way they abandoned everything to see if Zane was okay 🥺
Lmaoo Harumi going back for the map
God this is actually so scary, the background music was perfectly picked for this scene.
Pixal sounds so scared and frantic :(
Wait so they lost control of the WHOLE ship?!?!?
Cole: Samurai X is on their way? They must be here to help!
Wait so Pixal transferred herself to samurai x already?
Pixal: Im afraid that is unlikely…
Wait what
Pixal: Because my system is overrun…
Kai: Youre making no sense Pix.
Pixal: Now… would be a good time to make a minor confession.
Pixal: I am Samurai x…
Ohhh so shes overrun. so someones controlling her body!?!?!?
Everyone:
Cole: Are you serious???
Nya: How is that possible?!?!
Jay: Totally called it!
Cole: You did NOT
Jay: Did too!
(explodes the fucking air thruster)
Istg if they destroy the destinys bounty AGAIN-
Awwww Cole cares sm about the baby 🥺
Jay redirecting literal solid lightning is crazy to me
AND KAI MAKING A FIREBALL TO LIGHT THE SKY?!?!?
Lloyd: Harumi! Take this! (Hands her a sword)
Harumi: But I don’t know how to fight 🥺
Omfg
I hate that Nya is the one stuck looking for that disgusting ass metal spider
UGHHH I HATE THE SQUEAKING AND SQUERLCHING NOISES IT MAKES
NOT THE SPIDER CLIMBING ON ZANE
STOP DID IT JUST JUMP AT HER?!?!?
okay but who is controlling Samurai x specifically. Is it Mr E?
Im gonna be forever confused by the small things Harumi does, like saving Lloyd when he could have easily died and no one would suspect anything.
Aaaa so she was ‘kidnapped’ by Samurai x.
STOP NOT LLOYD JUMPING AFTER HER IN THE STORM.
LLOYD PLS
Jay: He did not just?!?
Kai: He just did!!!
Hfjdntdjnsn
Lloyd: Pixal stop this!
Samurai x: There is no pixal, only the quiet one.
Okay thats actually so smart though. With Harumi right there too.
Lloyd: (stabs the suit)
Samurai x: (ejects from the suit landing on the ship.)
Lloyd: I did not think this through…
NCJDNGJDJT
Harumi: We’re gonna…
Lloyd: Were not gonna die! You hear me?!?!
Harumi: The map! Maybe we can use it as a parachute!
Lloyd: WHAT IS THIS?!?!? A CARTOON?!?!?
LMAOOONFISNGJDNDNS
Lloyd (puts harumi in the samurai x suit): the suit should break your fall!
Harumi: What about you?!?!?
Lloyd: sorry only room for one…
Harumi: NO I NEED YOU!!!
This scene would have been so dramatic and touching if Harumi wasnt who she was 😭
Also the ‘I NEED YOU’ makes me wonder if Lloyds a part of her plan. Like she actually needs him for everything to work.
Lloyd: And I need that map.
HE ACTUALLY USED IT AS A PARACHUTE
Harumi was probably so pissed at that moment as she crashed in the suit and Lloyd swung down.
Nya (getting strangled by a spider): AAAAAAA
(A spear stabs the spider with perfect aim)
Zane: what in the name of ninjago is happening around here???
ZANE❤️
We missed you 🥺
Pixals back!!!!
Samurai x: (throws sword at the last air thruster)
Pixal: (Back online.)
Pixal as samurai x: (watches as her body throws the sword into the air thruster just a little too late)
God that must suck for her. To imagine your seconds late to having saved them all.
Everyone: (holding onto the ship as it goes down)
Jay: She got the last thruster!
Kai: Any ideas!?
Zane: Not one!
Kai: Yeah me neither…
Jay: PRAY TO WOJIRA!
Nya: That is NOT helpful!
HFJDJFNF I love them all
Zane: Maybe we can create enough drag with the sails!
Kai: WHAT SAILS!!?!?
(Their sails completely destroyed)
Zane: 😶
Wait wait wait okay Jay might be onto something
Jay: The rain! It could slow our fall!
YES NYA YES USE YOUR AWESOME FUCKING POWERS!!!
JUST LIKE THE VERY FIRST TIME, SHE WAS TAUGHT TO CHANGE THE WATER FLOW TO RUN UP
I LOVE THIS SHOW SM
this is actually so cool
Like the way the rain is going under and hitting the bottom of the ship.
Nyas such a girlboss
WAIT BABY WU
Good job Cole, like honestly. If he hadn’t gone straight for the baby. Wu would probably be dead, A baby would not have survived that impact.
Awwww Jay helping Nya up.
The forest they landed in is actually gorgeous
Pixal: Zane?
AAAAAAA
THEIR REUNION
Pixal: I needed to keep my identity a secret, to protect the ones I care about…
Zane: You dont need to lie to me, you didnt like being stuck in my head :)
Pixal: that too. ☺️
AWWWWWWW he knows her so well 🥹
Kai: Wheres Lloyd and Harumi?
Oh god theyre alone.
AND NOW THEYRE RUNNING FROM A DINOSAUR????
Omfg and to think its that stupid ‘extinct’ one that was in the episode that had Lloyd magically age up
Pixal and Zane are genuinely so cute
awwwww Cole with baby Wu :)
Cole: What do you think the babies name is?You think he’s a Cole jr?
Ik ppl say that the show writers kinda just threw Jays inventing quirk away which makes me rlly sad but its nice to see that they sometimes show him fixing stuff, like the crashed bounty.
The dinosaur: RAAAAAAH
Cole: …what do you think that was…?
Kai: Probably just some cute little critter?
Jay: Or a big critter… A great big vicious critter with lots of teeth and claws and pinchers—
Cole: You cant tell all of that from how it sounds 🙄
WAIT THE THRUSTERS WORKING?!?!?
nvm lol
Jfjebfjdnf wish I could screenshot on netflix, Jays covered in soot and id love to draw him
AWWW ZANES GIGGLES SO CUTE
Jay: IVE HAD IT. FIRST WE CRASH LAND IN WHO KNOWS WHERE AND NOW ARE SURROUNDED BY WHO KNOWS WHAT
Cole: Look on the bright side! Cole jrs okay! so you can change his diaper.
Jay: ha. Ha. Ha, hilarious.
GOD NYAS SO COOL
She looks awesome in her samurai x mech
Pixal: My suit! I mean— your suit.
Nya: Its okay Pixal, its yours now :)
AWWW I LOVE THEM
lloyds actually super smart to put a note on the mech
Aaand the sons of garmadon are coming
Keep forgetting the place theyre in is Primevals eye.
Harumi: I didnt imagine myself here.. But, Ive always dreamed of being with you 🥺
That was cringy as shit thats when you know shes overdoing it 💀
oooo now theyre on their way to Stranglers Path
Lloyd: Naaah, the name doesnt mean anything. Just some bored map maker— (Gets fucking snatched)
HOLY SHIT IS THE TREE GONNA EAT HIM?!?!?!!?
Omfg I hate that Harumis sword throw was actually so cool
Also why does she keep saving him when its most convenient to just let him die?
Like, she had the map, she had the sword, she couldve continued on.
Im assuming the “i need you” scream she did when they were falling to their deaths has smth to do with her plan.
Lloyds voice actor is actually really good
Lloyd: How did you learn to throw a sword like that?!?!
Harumi trying to cover her ass: I- I dont know! I just saw you in trouble and I… I guess it was luck
Lloyd: LUCK?!?!? That wasnt just LUCK! That was—
Harumi: (kisses him on the cheek)
SHE ACTUALLY KISSES HIM
I THOUGHT THERE WERE ONLY ROMANTIC IMPLICATIONS NOT AN ACTUAL KISS
im gonna kms
Zane and Pixal working together inside the bounty is so cute
Maybe I shouldnt kms
Zane: Is it working?
Pixal: No.
Zane: How about now?
Pixal: NO.
Zane:…
Zane: I detect frustration from you, yet that emotion is not needed for this task? Is something wrong?
Pixal: No…
Pixal:…
Pixal: Yes.
I love how Zane acts all calculating and ‘different’ than an ‘average’ human, which ppl would usually chart it up to him being a robot.
But then we have Pixal, a whole nother example and she acts just like everyone else 😭
I love how thats just how Zane is
AWWW I FORGOT PIXAL HAS HALF OF ZANES HEART/LIFE SOURCE
Pixal: Was i more useful in the computer…?
Pixal: I like having a body, but if I was more useful in the computer…
Zane: The choice was always yours pixal. And I for one, like seeing you like this.
AWWWWWWWWW
i love robot love
The way they just went back to working 🥺
The levitation oni mask is genuinely awesome. And the way it looks like it has no drawbacks. Amazing.
I dislike the ninja talking about Lloyd having the hots for the princess VERY much
Cole: Pliers.
Kai: Pliers?
Jay: I dont have the pliers! (Someone hands it to him) oh, why thank you!
Baby Wu: (walking with two legs)
Jay:
Jay: hehe, COLE. I thought you put the baby down for a nap.
Cole: you mean little Cole jr? Yeah i did, but he was a little restless.
Jay: Uh huh yeah. Then why is little Cole jr standing in front of me and PASSING ME THE PLIERS.
LMAOOOO
the way they all ran
Cole: Im no expert… but do babies do that?
Kai: No. No they do not. And they also dont know what pliers are.
I keep forgetting that Kai like, RAISED Nya, so he definitely knows all this stuff.
Baby wu: (grabs a hot cup of tea and blows it)
Kai: And they DEFINITELY dont do that.
HFNDKFNDJDNFNR
Jay: Okay! Now ive seen it all! Now i REALLY quit!!!
Baby wu: aaaa. Ninja neva quit.
Everyone:
HFNDNGNDJNFT I KNEW IT WAS THIS EPISODE THE MINUTE HE GOT TWO LEGS
Harumi: AAAA (screaming at the sons of garmadon insignia)
Shes such a good actor i hate her 😭
Ohhh i forgot Lloyd and Harumi find a boat and like ride it or smth
Harumis giggle is so cute ☹️
I think Harumis trying to recruit Lloyd, which is why shes saving him and manipulating him. If she plans on keeping him long-term thats the only reason I can think of.
Harumi: Garmadon wasnt the greatest villain…
Lloyd: Oh, no? You probably grew up thinking it was Morro, or the devourer. Wait, don’t tell me. Pythor!
Harumis probably thinking ‘this bitch’
Harumi: no. Its the one you never even knew was there in the first place. The one who gets away.
Lloyd: The quiet one…
Okay this scenes actually really creepy when you know
I love how skeptical Nya is until Wu says his catchphrases
Nya: But how did he get so… Young?
Jay: Haha! Who knows! Hes a living fortune cookie. Everything he does is a puzzle MEANT TO TORTURE US.
Jays got his facts straight
Ohhh okay so it was the reversal blade that made Wu young, got it.
I love how the animation makes this feel like a new show but they always tie things back together.
Jay: But when is he going back to good old Wu?
Jay to the baby: No offense, you look good for your age.
hes so funny
Ughhh the sons of garmadon
Why am I pretending I dont like them I actually genuinely like their characters 😭
HELL YEAH! THE BOUNTYS FIXED
Cole: Let us take care of this wu, you looked after us, let us look after you.
I mean honestly, Wu didnt do much ‘taking care’ of you guys
I love when the ninja bicker in fight scenes
Okay but Lloyd is genuinely smart, the way he noticed there were no rocks and had Harumi stop the boat.
I hate that Harumis so cute, i hate that she has a nice singing voice, i hate that shes such a girlboss gaslighter
And i hate that theres a giant fucking dinosaur fish in the river 💀
ITS A FUCKING CRAB WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?
Theyre gonna be pulled to a waterfall by the current
Knew it.
Nya: Look! The signal to search for the quiet one is working! But thats weird, it says it originated from the bounty…
Kai: but thats impossible…
Zane: The only ones on the ship were us, Pixal, and…
Everyone:
Nya: Harumis the quiet one.
THATS HOW THATS REVEALED,!?!?!?
OKAY BUT THATS ACTUALLY SO GOOD. THEY DEMOLISHED THE ‘VILLAIN REVEALS THEMSELVES’ TROPE AND ALLOWS THE HEROES TO USE THEIR INTELLIGENCE. STILL LEAVING STUFF AT STAKE WITH ANOTHER CHARACTER STILL UNAWARE
Zane: We must warn Lloyd!
Ultra Violet: I wouldnt do that if I were you…
OMFG.
Love the ninja protecting their friends. Cole was holding baby wu and Jay jumped in to save them 🥺
I love crowd fight scenes. Just the heroes having to fight off groups of henchmen
Aaaand they lost.
And Lloyds with Harumi.
This is so great.
They made it to the temple with the mask 😐
OKAY NOOOOW THEY SHOW HARUMIS EVIL MISCHIEVOUS FACE

Extraordinary and Bad in Gaming
Gaming is most likely the best diversion and even livelihoods in the world. People wreck around for amusement just or learning while others record accounts about the games. In this article, I will focus in extra on gaming itself and less the side of how to make gaming accounts. Gamers come in each exceptional age, genders, religions, regions and shapes. The establishments of people who are gamers make gaming extensively more fun.
Establishments of gamers can have an effect in the sort of games that people play. There are a wide scope of blends for different arrangements relating to the sort of games and kind of gamers. You really need to look at the game's site to get every one of the proper information prior to buying PC Game Pure .
There are various online stages where you can buy games from like Steam or Humble Bundle. Those districts will give you the portrayal, accounts by the association, pictures, customer and non-customer marks, reviews, site, association and their social account(s). Realize the game's site likely will not show you all that you require to know. As a base, a gaming association will show a short endeavor to make it happen depiction, restricted amount of pictures (5, most ideal situation, several accounts by them and their social records. The most they will give is an illuminating portrayal, their social records, customer studies and accounts by them.
We should make a dive straightforwardly into what is viewed as negative with respect to gaming. The greater part of the cynical things about games come from the certifiable people on those games, the kind of games and the sorts of games for some unsuitable person. A game can be bad quality yet it's not by and large the circumstance where the real game is horrendous. It might be where it was some unsuitable kind of game for some inadmissible person. This is where the classes come in. Perhaps a game has a bit of mercilessness. That doesn't make it horrendous; it basically makes it some inadmissible kind of game for a seven year old. Of course maybe you bought a conundrum game for a person who loves movement type games. So the movement loving individual won't see the value in it, yet that doesn't make the conundrum game terrible!
The sorts of games are ceaseless from bareness, meds and alcohol, detestability, wagering with money to say the very least. These different sorts aren't ideal for youth gamers similarly as misguided for people who could do without seeing such things.
Gaming has incredible and awful sides really like the wide range of various things. The key is the means by which extraordinary and dreadful are those sides. For example, a couple of games have an awful side with players that like to fight a ton. This is typical in games. Appreciate for a huge load of gamers this is surely not a big deal; in any case, for youth who are new to the game or regardless, gaming in general this can be disillusioning. There are times when you need to avoid the awful sides all together. There are times when the incredible balances the awful. Accepting this happens and there are no issues with the real game; the awful side is just that one insignificant fly in your room which is no big deal. Alert: If the horrendous balances the incomparable, I would unequivocally recommend avoiding that game.
Another viewpoint that people will disturb a game architect or creator about is depiction. Should I say, a shortfall of depiction which isn't confined to race, body type and message in the game. Accepting you can change your individual, clearly you will not dislike depiction. There is an issue in specific games where they don't address strong and sharp females, minority females and folks, immense, little, tall, and short females and folks. Notice how I didn't put "folks" after female for strong? That is because folks in games are ALWAYS tended to as strong and insightful.
In games that show a male strong and quick, he will generally likely be white, tall, unstable, superstar looking and buff. You will inconsistently see him be a minority, short, stout, not buff, quirky looking, while at this point being strong and sharp. You see this even LESS for females. A couple of females in games are also white, tall, feeble and strong while showing skin like no tomorrow. You simply see THESE females in MMORPG games (Massively Multiplayer online Role Playing Game) be that as it may. RPG games are planned for lala lands where you for the most part fight people and monsters. Clearly the females' subtleties will be strong anyway they won't look strong.
In many games, when they add an individual for you to play they for the most part add a white male first, then a white female, then a dim male, and a short time later a dim female. They don't even really add people who are mixes of races or in the center. With respect to the dull characters they simply add one shade of "dim" or "African American" and not many out of each odd person of shading on earth is that shade.
In games, the vast majority of the characters are for each situation unstable and tall. You don't really see characters that are short and feeble, tall and tubby, short and stout, etc There are a numerous people who aren't unstable and who aren't tall.
Then at long last, there is the mental message that goes with the sexual direction, race, and body type. What do I mean by the mental message? A couple of games send a roundabout message in regards to that character being strong and sharp or something else. While for various games it will in general be a mental message either purposefully or not. For example, in the game you play and you see a minority female who is short, full, nerdy looking and her ascribes are to be a dolt, guiltless, and moronic. It could send a mental message to you that people that seem like her are actually similar to her. They're not sharp, they aren't thin, and are not tall. They did incapably in school, et cetera So you start thinking those things subject to not simply seeing this in that game over and over, anyway when it happens in various games also.
The most really terrible part is NONE of these things are legitimate. Without a doubt, certain people aren't shaky, tall, and maybe not unreasonably splendid; but instead not EVERYONE is like this! You do have short stout minorities who are shrewd as anyone might imagine! You have a wide scope of mixes of people who ARE astute! Clearly, this heap of things about sexual direction, race, body type, and messages aren't just in gaming; they're in films, TV shows, advancements, etc Intriguing that a piece of the producers who make the games, movies, TV shows, advancements, etc, are minorities themselves and they make up the quantity of occupants in the earth. (Search "all out people by race 2016" and click the underlying three associations if you don't confide in me.)
Fast disclaimer: I AM NOT BASHING ANYONE! Without a doubt, I was hollering that. This section of the article is referencing to you what I know, read, hear and experience in gaming.
If you don't believe me go gander at the current TV shows, movies, commercials, and games. A show to look at for extraordinary depiction is Milo Murphy's Law. Two games to look at as a wellspring of viewpoint for extraordinary depiction are OverWatch and Atlas Reactor. By and by in these fields it has improved for depiction unequivocally sex, race and as of late starting body type (expressly in a particular request). A couple of games even add robots and creatures as playable characters to do whatever it takes not to have issues with depiction. This kills the issue of customers requiring an individual to address their genuine or supported sexual direction, race, or body type since now there is an individual most customers can yield to. In light of everything, it's impractical to fulfill everyone.
OK, since I ranted and moved the awful stuff; we ought to get into the incredible bits of gaming! You have gamers as energetic as three years old and as old as 90+! Despite your age, race, sex, religion, culture, or region gaming can be valuable for anyone. Gaming can not solely be fun, yet productive and enlightening.
A benefit with gaming is it can help youth with having more confidence in themselves and be all the more cordial. If they play an online multiplayer game and talk with various players all through the planet, this can help then with becoming familiar with bantering with others other than family and they procure trust in what they're saying. They can go from a smart individual to a social fan! It can happen fast or progressively. Whether or not it's everything except a game anyway a spot for gamers, trained professionals, style originators, vehicle darling, etc to talk; it will regardless help them with being all the more well disposed. Recollect in any case, creating to someone and thereafter voice visiting to someone are two novel experiences. Youth can be incredibly amicable when creating yet especially meek when voice visiting.

I went full deus ex here to do some things and I have only slight shame. This is NOT the final chapter.
Foxes will often fight by standing on their hindlegs and placing their forelegs on their opponent’s chest. They try to push each other over in a trial of strength. The loser is often chased and may be badly bitten or savaged if they fail to escape.
Master Post of All Chapters
Marinette wasn’t quite sure what happened after Volpina had snatched Marc away from them. Everything felt numb and distant, almost like Reverser had altered her again but without the clarity.
“Is she going to be ok?” She heard distantly. The voice sounded worried. Worried about her. Someone was worried about her, why were they worried about her?
“She is in shock. It is not surprising, considering recent events.” A man, older. Who? Did it matter? Nothing she did mattered. Every time she thought they had finally won, fate cruelly laughed at her and kicked her in the face.
“Dude, you of ALL people don’t get to say shit about this.” Boy. Younger. Angry. She could relate. She was...she was angry.
“Nino...please. Not now.” Why not now? Now was the perfect time to be angry, to be frustrated.
“Why do things keep falling apart?” She asked, angry tears pooling in her eyes.
“Marinette? Are you back with us? Are you ok?” Tiki.
Marinette rubbed the tears from her eyes and struggled to focus. The red kwami was hovering close, looking very concerned. There was a warm pressure on both sides. Sitting to her left was Luka, gently rubbing the back of one hand. To her right was Adrien, stroking her hair. They both looked very tired. Dry tear tracks dirtied Adrien’s face. Sometime between Volpina’s latest dirty trick and now they had moved indoors. Inside (Marinette noted the decor) the Agreste mansion? Standing around them were the miraculous holders who had been at the battle, including a remorseful looking Gabriel Agreste and...Marinette rubbed at her eyes again.
“Are you...Emilie Agreste?” She gasped, wondering if she was still in shock and hallucinating. The woman she had only seen in photos gave her a strained smile.
“Yes, though I’m not entirely up to date on events. It seems I have been...asleep.” Marinette’s mind spun. Adrien squeezed her shoulder.
“Your Miraculous Cure healed her.” He explained. “Believe me, we were all just as shocked when she called my father’s phone. Apparently your ladybugs dropped her in his study.”
“Wh-why-HOW?” She spluttered. “I’ve used my miraculous cure dozens of times, why do this NOW?”
“Your cure can’t fix what you don’t know about. Well, sort of.” Tiki began to explain. “The cure works off of what you think should be right. So when the ladybugs fix akuma damage, it’s because you think that is wrong. You don’t have to know everything that broke or everyone that got hurt, just that they shouldn’t be.”
“If I had known it was that simple...I would have still been after your miraculous but I would have explained. I cannot begin to tell you how deeply sorry, and grateful I am Ladybug.” Gabriel said, holding Emilie close. “I know that in no way excuses what I’ve done to this city, or to your personally but believe me when I say I want nothing more to do with the miraculous.”
“You MURDERED dozens of innocent people, and you think you can just say SORRY?!” Alya stepped forward, jabbing him in the chest with a finger. Emile looked shocked, taking a step back from him.
“You what?”
“Volpina is the one responsible for this morning’s...unfortunate events.” Nathalie defended. Alya wasn’t hearing it.
“Volpina? You mean the akuma HE created? The one that, unlike Penknight, he could still control? You think we’re going to buy that?!” Alya demanded.
“Stop.” Luka’s voice cut through the growing argument. “Persecution can come later. We have bigger problems right now.” He looked down at her and continued “Penknight is tearing apart the city looking for Marc. We would have sent someone after him but…” He winced.
“Everyone was exhausted, our miraculous are gone, and you had checked off into lala land.” Chloe huffed from off to the side. “My suggestion to just let me take the ladybug earrings and deal with him was foolishly rejected.”
“And unanimously.” Adrien added. “We all really needed the rest. Penknight is mostly doing collateral damage and it may be selfish to think this, but that’s nothing the miraculous cure can’t handle when we do take him down.”
“He’s right Marinette, things can be replaced. You can’t. Your health comes first.” Tiki said, patting her knee. Now that she was coming out of her shock, she noticed the other miraculous she had been wearing were gone.
“Where are…?” She started to ask, patting herself down.
“You were exhausted and in shock. Even if they’re not activated the miraculous take a tiny bit of strength from you. Just one isn’t noticeable, but with the amount you were wearing…” Tiki explained.
“We thought it would be better to take them off. Don’t worry, they’re safe.” Adrien promised. “Plagg is nearby too, gorging himself on cheese.” The blonde boy looked exasperated, but fond.
“So what’s the plan, Ladybug, and don’t think I’ll forget that you didn’t tell me about that!” Alya asked, forcing a grin. Marinette looked around. They were all so tired.
“I guess I’ll accept an inferior miraculous to help sort this out. If I have to.” Chloe was studying her nails in fake disinterest. Sabrina nodded with more genuine enthusiasm from her side. Luka was a warm, comforting presence by her side. Adrien the same on the other. Marinette took a deep, calming breath and made her decision.
“Ladybug and Chatnoir are going to take down one last akuma.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Can you hear him out there? The poor thing has absolutely lost his mind. How pathetic.” Volpina mocked, pausing in her detailed (and ever changing) rant about how she was going to make Marc pay for humiliating her as a furious scream sounded in the distance. Marc squirmed in the rickety chair he was tied to. He had no idea where the shadows had deposited them, but it looked abandoned. Dirt, dust, and broken plaster lay about. Plastic rustled in the breeze as it failed to cover the single, broken window. The brief glimpses of the skyline Marc had gotten through that window suggested they were a few stories up, at least.
Volpina began pacing and ranting about what she was going to do to him again (were we back to being boiled alive? Cool, Marc thought absently) the kwami of her stolen miraculous hovering silently as they had been ordered to. Marc’s heart wrenched as he watched the Barkk try to comfort a shaking Ziggy. His jacket was torn from where Volpina had ripped the goat miraculous away. Even more heartbreaking were the screams that kept drifting through the window on the wind. Penknight had spent the past two days more or less protecting him, only to have Volpina steal Marc from him as easy as one might candy from a baby. He couldn’t imagine how the akuma was feeling right now. His more pressing concern was escaping from Volpina. He needed a plan.
“Are you listening to me?!” Volpina demanded, slamming the chair he was tied to against the wall with one hand, getting in his face. The fox miraculous dangled so close he could almost...touch it...this was the dumbest idea he had ever had. Lunging forward, he grabbed the miraculous with his teeth and yanked. There was a brief moment when Marc feared his teeth were going to be torn out as Volpina stumbled backwards, but the chain snapped first.
“How DARE you-!”
“Trixx, Let’s Pounce!” The fox kwami gasped, zipping to his side as he was released from Volpina’s command.
“Trisch, Letsh Pounsh!” Marc said through clenched teeth. Apparently that was good enough for Trixx as Marc felt the transformation take him over. He saw Volpina realize what he was doing mid transformation and lunge at him in slow motion. Not even a fraction of a second had passed from completing the transformation to Volpina slamming him through the wall behind him. Wood and plaster shattered around them in a way Marc was sure would be extremely painful with the protection of the miraculous.
“That is MINE give it BACK!” Screeched Volpina, tearing at him. It was all Marc could do to keep her clawing hands away from the miraculous that now rested around his neck. Calling the struggle going on ‘wrestling’ would have been too generous. It was mostly just Volpina attempting to maul him as he frantically tried to escape. During the flailing his own hand managed to score lines across Volpina’s face. As she reared and shrieked, clutching at the bleeding cuts, he finally managed to scramble out from under her. Filing away the fact that he apparently had claws now for later, the unnamed fox hero dove for the open window.
“Shit shit shit.” He hissed as his leap thrust him into open air, the ground more than three stories away. Thankfully the miraculous must come with SOME sort of autopilot function as he instinctively hit the ground in a roll that brought him back to his feet, instead of splatting against the concrete. Two furious screams rang through the city, one coming from the condemned apartment building behind him, the other from further in the city.
Using his newly discovered claws to get to the top of the next building over, he headed for the more distant commotion. Volpina was so hot on his heels he swore he could feel her breath. The curses and threats she was screaming at him were certainly nothing he would repeat in polite company. The scenery streaked by him in a blur as he fervently hoped she would remain too incensed to remember she had more miraculous she could use.
Up ahead he could see Ladybug and Chatnoir squaring off against an absolutely furious Penknight. The rooftop they were on was littered with gouges and odds and ends Marc assumed the akuma had created to throw at the duo. They hadn’t noticed him yet.
“Help!” He shouted, bounding closer. Volpina just screamed insults behind him. The next moment couldn’t have been more than seconds but felt like it took forever. He saw a lightbulb go off in Ladybug’s head, she shouted something to Chatnoir, Marc dove for them, Chatnoir’s baton whooshed over his face so close he could almost taste it as he limbo slid under it, Volpina’s screaming cut off with a choking noise as the cat hero clotheslined her. Marc panted as he lay where he had skidded, more out of adrenaline than anything. The miraculous protected him from being out of breath from his frantic run. Ladybug’s yoyo goes clattering across the rooftop as Penknight manages to use the sudden chaos to bat it out of her hands.
“It’s me!” Marc squeaked, jumping between the Akuma and Ladybug, Penknight winding up for another swing.
“Marc?” The akuma questioned, suspicious.
“MARC!” Volpina screeched, getting her wind back. Chatnoir was equal parts trying to fend her off and grab her miraculous. Any of them.
“It’s him!” Ladybug promised, retrieving her yoyo to help Chatnoir.
“How do I know you’re not an illusion?” Penknight hissed, looking conflicted. Marc stomped on his foot. Like someone had flipped a switch, the snarling akuma transformed into a beaming hug monster.
“You took her miraculous!” He gushed. Marc squirmed away from him.
“Details later, taking Volpina down now!” Marc scolded as Chatnoir went sailing past them.
“You’ll never defeat me. I hold more power than any of you could possibly imagine!” Volpina snarled backing up.
“Don’t do it Volpina, you won't be able to handle the strain!” Ladybug pleaded, seeming to realize the vixen’s plan. Volpina just smirked.
“Wayzz, Barkk, Ziggy, Pollen, Roarr, Dusu, Unify!” What happened next was hard to describe. Multicolored light strobbed as wind pressure pushed everyone back. Volpina’s form rose from the ground and flickered like static, changing too fast for Marc to comprehend. The sound she was making was less of a scream and more of the universe ripping.
“We have to get the miraculous off her before they kill her!” Ladybug shouted over the wind.
“Why?” Penknight asked. He was ignored.
“How are we going to do that, My Lady? We can’t even get close!” Chatnoir asked, bracing against the wind.
“Lucky Charm!” Ladybug shouted, a heavy object thumping down in front of her.
“Is that...an electromagnet?” Marc questioned, grateful for Penknight’s grip on him. For some reason his transformation had made him even skinnier than he already was. Of the four of them he was having the most trouble keeping from being blown away. Maybe it was so he could leap rooftops easier? The flute strapped to his back wasn’t any good for that, unlike Chatnoir and Ladybug’s weapons. Now really wasn’t the time to think about that.
“Is that honestly going to work? Are the miraculous even magnetic?” Penknight wondered.
“It’s magic!” Ladybug snapped, looking around the rooftop in an attempt to find clues on how to use her lucky charm. “It cannot be as easy as flipping a switch.” She muttered to herself.
“My lady, if you do that, what about our miraculous?” Chatnoir questioned. Volpina’s eldritch screams were losing steam. Ladybug looked panicked.
“We’ll have to hold on to them and hope, but if I’m holding my earings I can’t flip the switch!”
“Oh please, allow me.” Penknight said eagerly, turning his sword back into a tablet and passing Marc to Chatnoir. Ladybug hesitated for a second, taking in the sight of Volpina being magically ripped apart and put back together, then nodded, firmly covering her ears with both hands. Penknight chuckled darkly as he flipped the switch. Marc dug in his heels, Chatnoir’s arm iron around his waist, as the powerful magnet tried to drag him forward by the miraculous.
At first Marc was worried the magnet wasn’t going to work, but then Volpina’s miraculous began to hit the magnet one by one with solid thunks. When the last one had been collected and Volpina lay dazed and panting on the rooftop, Penknight switched the magnet off. Ladybug stepped forward to check on Volpina, who only lay there and wheezed. Chatnoir began picking up the miraculous, handing the goat barrets to Marc with a smile when Ziggy zipped over to him for a hug.
“I can’t find her akumatized object.” Ladybug called to them, distressed. Volpina gasped a laugh and used the ledge of the rooftop to lever herself up.
“Oh, I’m sure you can figure it out if you think hard enough.” She mocked.
“Lila please, you almost killed yourself with that stunt. Let us purify you so you can rest and heal.” Ladybug pleaded, hands out to catch the akuma if she fell. Chatnoir’s eyes trailed down to where Volpina was clutching her chest.
“No.” He breathed.
“Yes!” Volpina cackled. “My akuma might be second hand from that miserable wretch Prism, but at least he knew where to hide it. The only good idea he’s ever had, I’ll wager.”
“Her heart.” Chatnoir said sounding numb, “The akuma is in her heart.”
“You see Ladybug, no matter what you’ve done I’VE won! You’ll never get my akuma without killing me, something you pathetic heroes will never have the stomach for!” Ladybug looked horrified, backing away from the laughing akuma.
“It’s only a matter of time before I take your miraculous and- Hrk!” She coughed, cut off mid sentence by Penknight’s sword going through her chest.
“Ugh, finally you stop talking. It’s a pity you’re probably going to be just fine after this, and I’ll have to go back to listening to your nattering.” Penknight grumbled, using his boot to push Volpina’s limp body both off his sword and the roof. Marc took in the akuma’s look of manic, wicked satisfaction as he watched the body fall and said:
“We have got to cure him.”

how would season 2 of riverdale look like if you were writing it? (also please don't hold back on the word count for this ask)
everyones gay. the end.
no ok i will try and go for a realistic version of what i think season 2 could have been. i mean personally i think its realistic to have all the parents be gay but whatever. (*edit from future briana. lol i aint make this shit realistic everybody G A Y) also this is probably gonna be all over the place cuz i have a lot of problems with a lot of characters story arcs so just...we’ll see what happens. also also this is obviously focusing on the parents im sure the kids will get mentioned at some point in regards to certain storylines but for the most part i dont watch them so i dont know what the fuck theyre doing unless it pertains to an adult. ok here we go (i hope you know what you asked for by saying dont hold back on word count...)
lets just get the obvious out of the way FRED AND FP WOULD HAVE SO MANY FUCKING SCENES IF I WAS RUNNING SHIT LIKE THEYD PROBABLY BECOME THE MAIN CHARACTERS SUCK A DICK ITS THE SHOW I DESERVE I DONT CARE WHAT YALL WANT
like from season 1 i had this vision of how i wanted s2 to play out
fp was gonna find out fred was shot, alice was gonna go visit him in jail about it or theyd meet up when he got out and they were gonna team up to avenge fred. thats what shouldve happened ok fight me. THE ONLY APPROPRIATE F*LICE INTERACTION
and then fp was gonna take care of fred. they were gonna work on their relationship. shit was gonna get dramatic but it was gonna be beautiful because ultimately they would realize theyre both the best friends each other ever had and they were better together than apart.
and thats how the whole black hood thing would be dealt with and we never had to hear about it again
and then with the introduction of hiram and everything going down with the lodges buying freds company + fps dealings with hiram and hermione in the past and the bad blood there that was just...completely dropped... fred and fp were gonna come up with this master plan to screw over hiram and get the company back and then theyd go back to working construction together and happy days would be on the horizon.
with that being said.... hiram and hermiones storyline this season is honestly the only interesting worthwhile thing. im not mad at it
im a little mad at archie joining the mafia like for one, anyone who knows anything about mob culture, you dont let outsiders in. and if you do, its not that fucking easy. its like “run some errands for me let me put you through some tests. ok youre family” no. i mean i get we’re on the cw but this was really the ...not even pg13 this was some g rated mob shit on archies part but whatever
lets hop on over to the coopers
i called from the beginning that chic was gonna be up to some bullshit and the narrative thats going right now with hal being painted as the bad guy and running off to penelope and alice running into fps arms is absolute utter Garbage™
what SHOULDVE happened (and granted the story is still playing out but lochlyns got a new show and thats very sus to me so... im expecting the worst) is chic comes in all innocent at first and maybe hals still put off, reasonably so, but this clearly means a lot to alice so he sticks it out. and as chic lets his freak out and the family has to deal with this, they grow closer and become more bonded and alice and hal become stronger as a couple and when all is said and done they eventually decide to go to couples counseling or family counseling and everybody works out their bullshit and they all start their journey to becoming a stable fucking family unit
ok now penelope. she’s another one that im actually for the most part enjoying her story but this whole hal business?? unrealistic
what they needed to do was just let her have her ho business and live her life
and also tell cheryl to stop running her mouth
like i really dont need them to have a great relationship personally like fine if they did whatever but cheryl kinda annoys me so penelope telling her whats up is no skin off my back
oh and this whole homophobic business? NOT IN MY SEASON 2
or if they really wanted to keep this contrived ass heather story to give cheryl some depth or whatever, then the least that could happen is it be revealed that penelope is gay herself and was scorned by an ex lover (alice) and was taking it out on her daughter
and then that could come to light and they talk about it and penelope eventually accepts she’s gay and she can be open about it now and she goes on to get herself a beautiful rich powerful girlfriend and my girl pen is set bitch !!! (i will also only accept alice and hal breaking up if alice too comes out and ends up with penelope)
somebody was coming out of my version of s2 gay i mean listen i could also write you a thing about how fp and fred could still get together ...
YOU KNOW WHAT LETS FUCKING TALK ABOUT HOW FP AND FRED COULD GET TOGETHER WHY THE FUCK NOT ITS MY SEASON 2 IMMA DO WHAT I WANT ITS 20GAYTEEN
fps been spending all this time around fred nursing him back to health after the shooting
and theyve been able to work out all their unresolved bullshit
plus them teaming up to take hiram down
theyve been spending many a cold winter night together
old flames are rekindling
they both notice they each keep finding little reasons to touch one another
theyre stealing glances when they think the other one isnt paying attention
they start to notice how fucking happy theyve been together theyve both become so playful and intimate with one another
theyre at pops one night having milkshakes
fred has whipped cream on his face
fps trying to tell him where but fred keeps missing it
theyre both laughing
fp reaches over and swipes his thumb softly over the corner of freds mouth
their laughter starts to die down as they both realize theres still this spark of electricity between them
its been sitting there under the surface this whole time waiting to blow up
next thing they know fps leaning over the table to kiss fred
its soft and sweet and gentle but filled with such passion and urning its been so long since anyones touched them like this and god all the memories of their secret high school hookups come flooding back its like no time at all has passed they just fit together so well
ANYWAY now that fps with fred and this whole north v south thing is going on its creating a whole bunch of tension and like imagine all the drama that would come from the leader of the serpents dating riverdale mayor fred andrews oh my god ??? sign me the absolute fuck up where is THAT iconic storyline
speaking of fred
where the fuck is that pill addiction huh??? we gotta throw that in for drama ok i NEED. IT.
and then mary gets called into town and fp mary and archie are coming together to get fred through this. holding a fucking INTERVENTION ???
alice can show up too why not
bring hal
hermione maybe? like i know in her heart she probably cares but maybe dont have your ex gf who is also a mob boss show up at your intervention....
although that would make for a good fp x hermione showdown
hermiones invited
what else do we need....
i need alice and hermione
i dont know in what capacity i just know i need it
we definitely need a moms night out episode which would be hilarious because it just ends with alice and penelope making out and hermione and mary making out and sierra is facetiming tom like “please come pick me up”
speaking of sierra i dont mind this storyline with tom i just wish we could..actually see it...
OH I ALMOST FORGOT SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT HOW DARE I! I NEED FP RAISING HIS SERPENT KIDS !!!! AND MY S2 INCLUDES JOAQUIN OK I MISS HIM JUST GIVE ME FP TRYING TO HERD JOAQUIN AND FANGS AND TONI AND SWEET PEA AND I GUESS JUGHEAD CAN COME ALONG TOO SINCE HES ACTUALLY FPS SON... WHATEVER
god i just want fp and fred having date night down at the whyte wyrm and tonis pestering them about sharing stories from high school and how they fell in love and she wants to hear all the hot gossip and jugheads like “no gross i dont want to hear this”but joaquin an fangs and sweet pea are ENTHRALLED like they wanna hear everything too they wanna know about all the stupid shit fred and fp used to do to land in detention
OH OH AND THEN WE CAN HAVE A WHOLE THING WITH PENELOPE AND CHERYL HAVING A HEART TO HEART ABOUT PENELOPE BEING IN LOVE WITH ALICE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND WE GET PARALLELS OF THEM AND CHONI
i told yall this shit was gonna be all over the place
hell maybe even gladys played by neve campbell would show up at one point so fp can see his fucking daughter thatd be neat
and gladys and fp decide to end things for good and go through with the divorce but its amicable and theyre friends. she could move back to riverdale but then im thinking of jellybean having to be taken out of school... so maybe they stay in toledo but gladys and fp come up with a plan for holidays and summer vacation and its all just very pleasant ok.
if we want to go with the tragic heterosexual version of riverdale, i fully support gladys and fp getting back together btw its what god wants
but so long as we’re living in my lala fantasy land.... fp ends up with fred and gladys and fp call truce
alice and fp would be F R I E N D S
no ones hiding no dead bodies
no ones making weird inappropriate comments about leaving spouses
alice is not going serpent!alice on everyone
no
gross
get out of my face
theyre friends and they banter a lot but theres still a deep PLATONIC love there for each other
ok i think i covered everything i wanted.....
am i delusional?
maybe
but is my version more fun?
absolutely

From Out of Love to Mountain Sounds
[Dhurke and Amara/AA Spirit of Justice Fanmix. Listen at playmoss!]
[Crazy=Genius- Panic! At the Disco][L'amore è Femmina (Out of Love)- Nina Zilli][Where's the Revolution- Depeche Mode][Dragons- Caravan Palace][Sister- The Black Keys][Mausam & Escape- Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack][Heart of the Cannibal- The Cat Empire][Lovers Flower Garden- House of Flying Daggers Soundtrack][Mountain Sound- Of Monsters and Men][Eternity's Moment- Bravely Default OST][Better Not Wake The Baby- The Decemberists][Like Sin- Chase Coy]
Hey, so after I had finished and posted my Dhurke/Amara fic a couple months ago, the story still won't leave me alone and so I went and did a fanmix based off their backstory. And yes, Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice spoilers ahoy. I got a variety of songs here, so I hope you guys enjoy both the fic and fanmix!
>>>My fic Dancing With Butterflies and Dragons the fanmix's based off of. Also got music commentary on why I chose these certain songs under the read more.
xxxx
1. Crazy=Genius [Panic! At the Disco]
And I said
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius
Then I'm a fucking arsonist
I'm a rocket scientist
Hey a-ay, hey a-ay
If crazy equals genius
You can set yourself on fire, hey a-ay
But you're never gonna burn, burn, burn, hey a-ay
You can set yourself on fire, hey a-ay
But you're never gonna learn, learn, learn
Hey a-ay
Starting off this fanmix with a bang. The arson incident is pretty much how things went downhill for everyone involved and Ga'ran able to pull it off.
2. L'amore è Femmina (Out of Love) [Nina Zilli]
L’amore è femmina, se non riceve non si da
(Tic tac, non riceve non si da)
This is the mess you left, I’m out of love and it’s a fact
(You left, out of love and it’s a fact)
I’m sure you’ll smile, you have to go
You’re an independent grown man after all
Out of love, must have been sent from up above
Lala lala lala la…
This song is Italy's entry from the Eurovision song competition a few years ago. Yeah I imagine some of the lyrics can relate to how Amara feels about her husband before he came to get her. The translated version of the Italian lyrics, Eurovision has you covered.
If you guys are interested in Italy's entry for this year, filled with references of Buddha and a dancing ape, tho...
3. Where's the Revolution [Depeche Mode]
You've been pissed on
For too long
Your rights abused
Your views refused
They manipulate and threaten
With terror as a weapon
Scare you till you're stupefied
Wear you down until you're on their side
Where's the revolution
Come on people
You're letting me down
Where's the revolution
Come on people
You're letting me down
This is Dhurke's lyrical theme right here. What I'm amused most is the band's latest album is called Spirit. YUP THE IRONY.
4. Dragons [Caravan Palace]
-Instrumental
I guess you can consider this more of the whimiscal side of Dhurke and his Defiant Dragons haha. Plus the title is "Dragons," gotta add that.
5. Sister [The Black Keys]
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that long
It’s so wrong
Amara and Ga'ran's theme, plus The Black Keys are my jam.
6. Mausam & Escape [Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack]
-Instrumental
Anyone remember the movie Slumdog Millionaire, the one with the Indian guy wining his country's version of the game show and trying to find his love interest? Yeah thought this might be a good track of Dhurke and Amara on the run.
7. The Heart is a Cannibal [The Cat Empire]
Goodness knows I don't like sadness, she cries before she wakes
And so my friend, if you love her, don't turn away
Don't fight it
Don't run away
We're people, and we're animals
You're thunder, and the heart is a cannibal
I've been listening to The Cat Empire's music when in the editing stage of my story, and had this song on repeat the most lol. The lyrics I pulled out I can't help but think "You're thunder" can relate to Dhurke's name orign based off Druk the thunder dragon. Let's ignore the fact the song is likely about cannibalism.
8. Lovers Flower Garden [House of Flying Daggers Soundtrack]
-Instrumental
You can probably guess which scene I have in mind for this music. >.<; Anyways, I admit to haven't watched House of Flying Daggers in a long while, but I remember enjoying it.
9. Mountain Sound [Of Monsters and Men]
Some had scars and some had scratches
It made me wonder about their past
And as I looked around I began to notice
That we were nothing like the rest
Hold your horses now
Sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods we ran
Deep into the mountain sound
Hold your horses now
Sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods we ran
The lull during the few months Dhurke and Amara got together.
10. Eternity's Moment [Bravely Default OST]
-Instrumental
There's one scene in my story where Nahyuta reads to his mother an old Khura'inese tale I thought of, and I thought this musical piece from BD works well, gives a storybook feel.
11. Better Not Wake The Baby [The Decemberists]
Make your moan of your lot in life
Split your mind half crazy
Gouge your eyes with a butter knife
But it better not wake the baby
How long will this go on?
How long, indeed?
You can bang a drum 'till the money's all gone
But it better not wake the baby
When the Ga'ran regime caught on Dhurke and Amara, then taking Amara and Rayfa back to the palace. "Better Not Wake the Baby" boy that's a good title, right?
12. Like Sin [Chase Coy]
You got a silver tongue
And you run your mouth at every chance you get
In time I might forgive you
But I'm not that quick to forget
I admit, been trying to find that last song that fits how I had Dhurke and Amara's relationship at the end of my fic tragic but hopeful, and... Well, ok the lyrics could fit more somewhere in the middle but the music is calming. Then again, Amara still said how Dhurke has a silver tongue, soooo haha. Also for some reason it's a bit hard finding lyrics to this song orz.
...As I was making this playlist, apparently Crazy=Genius and Mountain Sound have been added in several playlists already. @_@ Oh well, these two songs still fits this fanmix, lol.

So maybe I haven’t left my house in over a month…Maybe it’s doing things to my brain and I’m latching onto any random little thing for intellectual entertainment. That could be the case. I’m just human after all. But it’s totally not the case for this post! This one is solid! And based on like the three show’s I’ve seen…
I think that in anime the girl with the long hair always gets the guy…
I couldn’t find a character with really long hair….
Admittedly I don’t watch many romance animes and love triangles tend to be one of my least favourite tropes so I haven’t seen that many shows where the male lead has multiple love interests and actually ends up with someone. Or at least shows an undeniable interest in one of the characters.
Off the top of my head, the ones I can think of are Toradora, Steins;Gate, Re:Zero, Yamada-kun and the seven witches, To Love Ru and In/Spectre. O.k. so In/Spectre is a bit of a stretch for this but both Saki and Kotoko do show a romantic interest in Kuro and he dated Saki until she cut her hair even shorter than Kotoko and now bam, he’s with the blonde even though he acts like she’s nothing but a pain in his rear end!
It’s difficult to blame Okabe for being smitten by Kurisu. I get it, most people would get it. But poor short haired Mayuri didn’t even stand a chance! Kurisu’s hair goes down past her…. cough…hips. Maybe if Faris took out her pigtails she could be of some competition but I’m not sure.
I’m not sure how many people have seen Yamada-kun. For what it’s worth I thought it was an entertaining enough harem show. Now Yamada has possibly the most extensive harem with his pick of a whole array of girls yet he only has eyes for Urara and she happens to have beautiful long blonde hair. There are other girls with long hair in the show mind you but the only ones with even remotely as important a role, and therefore that could be potential rivals, all have considerably shorter hair than her.
there’s a lot of gender swapping too….
You could argue that To Love Ru doesn’t actually have a canon couples resolution but c’mon, we all know Lala steals the show. To Love Ru and Toradora are actually the shows that really made me realize that something fishy was going on here. Because in both of these shows, the protagonist already had a love interest. In fact, in both cases, he was deeply smitten by a classmate he had known for some time (as such the relationship was built on more than passing fancy, and was trying hard to pursue a romance with that character. And in both cases, the young lady in question seemed potentially opened to those advances. The young short haired lady…. And then BAM, another girl with a fiery personality and a habit of putting our protagonist in physical pain swoops in and steals his heart. Another girl with very long hair!
I haven’t seen either but both leading ladies in Your Lie in April and Sword Art online have romantic character arcs and very long hair so I’m just going to go right ahead and assume they also prove my point.
Now you could just say it’s a romance trope. Romance heroines have had long flowing hair since the dawn of the genre. It’s sort of prerequisite. Anime is just following along with a formula. And it’s also what fans want out of their leading romantic ladies. That’s how clichés happen, it’s cause the public responds to them!
Well ladies and gentlemen, I submit to you my last piece of evidence: Rem! Rem is a fan favourite. I mean Beatrice is queen and we should all bow to her, but there’s no denying that powerful yet fragile Rem captured the audiences imagination. Countless fan artists have devoted hours to trying to do her justice. I don’t know if it’s the fact that she has a twin sister or the ultra sexy maid outfits she wears… we may never know the secret of her popularity but at the very least, all the polls I found put her squarely ahead of Emilia.
To add to that, Rem actually has feeling for Subaru. She might be the only character in all of these shows to have actually confessed and she did so after getting to know the young man and after saving him a number of times. Honestly there is no reason for Subaru not to choose to be with Rem. There is ample reason for him to agree. except of course, Emilia has much longer hair!
See! SEEEEEEEE!?!
It’s not the will of the public and it’s not for the sake of narrative integrity. In many cases it doesn’t make any sort of obvious logical sense for the protagonists to turn down one girl in favour of another. These are all different shows with different genres, themes and intended audience and yet they all have one thing in common! The hair!!! And if it’s not just a question of we have ingrained troglodyte instincts that make us see long hair as romantically desirable in women (because again Rem is beloved and if that fan art is anything to go by, a lot of people see her very…cough…romantically, indeed), then there’s really only one answer. Illuminati!
OK, maybe not the actual Illuminati, those don’t exist (please don’t come for me). But clearly there is an underground shadow organization controlling the anime industry to have long haired ladies get the guy. I’m not entirely sure if we want the guy though. In a lot of those cases the guys are sort of not as impressive as the girls. I’m not sure if the point is to make ladies want to have long hair. I think it may be to make people want to be and/or be with ladies with long hair. And who would profit from that?
wikihow is terrifying
You guessed it, the wig industry!
The big shot Wig Lobby has gotten their hooks into our beloved anime industry and are trying to brainwash us all. There is no such thing as a short wig… And it’s working! I’m looking up wigs on another tab right now! We can’t let this happen. We do people have to fight back against this injustice!By continuing to create really amazing fan art of short haired anime ladies, and possibly sending it to me. Because that’s uhm..how we win. Yeah, that sounds about right.
I think I’ve made my point. If I disappear in the coming days, you know who did it. Do not trust your local wig salesman. Keep fighting the good fight, together we’ll get them!
Conspiracy Theory! Long Haired Anime Girls Get The Guy! So maybe I haven't left my house in over a month...Maybe it's doing things to my brain and I'm latching onto any random little thing for intellectual entertainment.

NaNoWriMo day 4 Fallen Sun
Really short today, I ran a near 5-hour long D&D game.
Wolf walked into her office and placed Leon on her desk. “Can you keep a secret, Leon?’ she asked.
Leon looked up at Wolf and shifted back into his human form. Crossing an X over his chest, he gave a sharp nod and smiled at his captain. Wolf laughed softly at this and placed a hand on the book. “Let’s explore a legend.”
Wolf opened the book and saw Leon flinch at the heat that poured from the pages. She frowned and watched him. Leon straightened up and put on a brave face before he smiled at her. He gave her an “OK” sign and looked back at the book.
“I remember sitting at the cave’s maw, watching as the two suns sank low in the sky. It was hotter than any other day that year, a day that even burned its heat deep into the caves and overwhelmed everyone. The larger sun was red and the sense of a dark omen clung deep in my bones. I did not know that in less than twelve hours I would believe I was saying my final goodbyes. My job started as the three moons began to shine across the sandy land.
“I stood and began my job. It was my turn to teach the younger generation of gatherers, a little girl tailed me as my shadow. Scrawny, weak, and sickly she shivered. Not far away was her sister, thin but much healthier looking. Both girls boasted the green eyes of the mage. I could only wonder to myself why they would dare send a mage out to gather when she could freeze to death, but it was not my place to question. I had a job to do, and I would do it well.
“The night rolled on, cold and bitter. Every minute the sky would become ever more unforgiving and my fingers ached for the warmth of the coal pits deep within the caves. My ice pouch drew heavy along my shoulder and the two small mages had slowed to nearly a crawl. It was time to go back.
“We made our way home and I lost sight of the mages. I would see them again soon, I did not know this yet though. I didn’t know just how much I would owe one of them, and how she would stop me from ever paying her back. Oh how I regret never paying her back.
“This is why I have this book, to explain what I knew, to teach others, as I am sure that the stories of my time, the stories from before the great ocean, will wash away with this water. I want to write as much as I could, but I do not know how much I can fill these pages. I have so much to tell and so little time left. I watch my life slip away with each letter I scrawl. Such a magic is a curse.”
Wolf shut the book and brushed the frost from her arms. “That is enough for one night.” She looked up at Leon, whose arms were crossed tightly over himself, he was shivering but was amazed at the book. His eyes were wide. For a moment, it looked like he didn’t know the book was closed. Finally, he blinked slowly and his eyes raised to meet Wolf’s.
“More? Tomorrow night?” Leon sighed suddenly.
“I do not want you so cold, Leon,” Wolf said with a chuckle.
“I will bring blankets! Blankets for both of us!” Leon was nearly bouncing at the thought. His eyes were alight with whatever was running through his head. A legend soo lost to time, but this book made it real. Even Wolf felt a stir in herself over the pages they had turned through.
“Only if you remember, Leon,” Wolf assured the small shifter. “Okay?”
Leon nodded and hopped out of the door. Wolf was left alone after that. She leaned over her desk, her hand on either side of the book. She stared after Leon for a few moments before her eyes fell to the book. She could feel the ship lurch forward as they set sail. The book quaked and Wolf watched as the gold began to flicker at her again. With a sigh, she crossed the room and shut the door.
---------------------------------
Leon bounced the sun filled deck. He jumped into the air again and his form snapped into a dragon. His larger wings opened and he soared high into the sails, grabbing a few ropes to assist the crew.
“There you are, Leon,” Les called. “We were getting worried about you.” He took the ropes from the small dragon and began to tie them into place.
Leon beamed and continued his job, watching as the ship slowly began to pick up speed. He perched atop the center mast and looked out into the deep water, blue as his eyes could see. He imagined what the world looked like covered in sand and his mind swam with the ideas of caves deep beneath the gentle waves.
“Everything all right, Leon?” Perdido asked as he landed next to the dragon. “You should probably get down before Falcon starts pulling the wind.”
Leon nodded and slowly began to climb down the mast, more lizard-like than dragon. Perdido chuckled and flew down, landing with the rest of the crew.
“Slowly, Falcon,’ Collie called to the elemental.
“Slowly pick up speed to full, got it,” Falcon called back.
“Falcon!”
“On it Collie!”
The crew snickered before Falcon raised his hands and the wind began to press into the sails. Everyone needed to steady themselves as the ship began to speed up. Falcon beamed and gently pushed the ship faster until they were at a steady speed.
“Take a break as ya need, ‘kay Fal?” Alala said as she regained her footing.
“Will do, Lala,” Falcon assured.
Alala nodded and made her way into the lower decks. She could hear a shadow behind her and glanced back to see Corrion.
“Gonna take me up on that trainin’ Cory?” Alala asked.
“No,” Corrion frowned. “I want to challenge you!”
“Challenge me?’ Alala asked, unimpressed.
“Yeah, challenge you! Prove that I’m just a good a swordsman as you!’
“If yer lookin’ for a swordsman test, ask Bel why don’t ’cha? I’m a fighter, I ain’t an official swordsman.”
“It’s not a test! You’re not a better fighter than me! I want to prove that!”
“Really?” Alala sighed and turned fully around to Corrion. “Fine, fine, I’ll give ya a good fight then. How about ya give me an hour, that way we can both get warmed up?”
“You’re on!” Corrion barked before he ran off.
Alala sighed again and looked at the crew who all seemed to have listened in. “All right, ya heard me, get yer bets in over the next hour, Cory and I are gonna have a good fight.”

The US national team's "bat out of hell," Cle Kooiman flies toward fate
Enforcer. Hard man. Bad boy. Mala leche, in the words of some in the Mexican media. “His nickname was Cujo,” says LA Galaxy boss Sigi Schmid, referring to the 1983 Stephen King horror novel about a demented dog.
Former US national team defender Cle Kooiman, whom Schmid coached as an assistant at the 1994 World Cup, brought a wild-eyed glare and fu-manchu mustache to the field, capped by that distinctive shock of tightly-curled, beach-blond hair, often cut into a deeply-’90s mullet. There was no mistaking the Ontario, California native. Kooiman’s kamikaze playing style earned him 12 US caps and unlikely stardom in Liga MX.
“He was – loud isn’t really the right word,” Schmid told MLSsoccer.com. “He was confident, and you knew when he was in the room. I thought he was fun to be around because he was always upbeat, always like, ‘OK, today’s a good day, what are we going to do now?’”
That force of personality is being challenged.
Cle Kooiman has cancer.
He’s been diagnosed with a highly aggressive form of prostate cancer (Gleason score: 9), which necessitated surgery earlier this year to remove his prostate, as well as adjoining tissue and lymph nodes that had been attacked by the rapidly-growing adenocarcinoma.
Courtesy of Cle Kooiman
That’s been accompanied by hormone therapy, a heavy regimen of other medications and drastic changes to his diet to drop weight and improve his body’s ability to fight off this intruder. In a few months, he’ll begin an eight-week stint of radiation therapy.
“Last night my son Cody, who is 4, while helping me take my night pills, asked me if heaven was a good place and if I was going there tomorrow,” he says. “Oh man, tears started running down my cheeks. I told him I will be going there, but not yet. I said I still have way too much love to give him before I go.”
His doctors have given him a prognosis of three to five years.
“I am high-risk and the cancer was out of the bag, so to speak, meaning out of the prostate and in the lymph system,” Kooiman explains.
“My type of cancer loves to grow and divide by eating testosterone,” he says. “In essence we are trying to starve the cancer cells. The problem is that my type of cancer is a smart little [expletive] and will figure out a way to make its own testosterone in its own cell. Pretty crazy, right?”
One of US soccer’s modern pioneers now finds himself staring at his own mortality, confronted by doubt, painful side effects from his treatments and astronomical medical bills, eager to put up the best fight he can and squeeze the most out of the time he has.
The burden can feel tremendous – for the self, for the family. Each day brings different pressures, different challenges, from the crucial monotony of a paperwork avalanche and navigating insurance problems to sifting through the Internet and human-suggestion knowledge bases for something, anything that might help.
“When I first found out I didn’t want to tell anyone, which is usually what I do with heavy issues in my life. I just usually eat the issue myself and move forward, which I’m sure most people do? Hmmmm, maybe that’s how my cancer really started,” he says, tongue well in cheek.
“I need people to understand this and us (people who have cancer): Look, it’s not contagious. I’m not contagious. We just need some extra prayers and love. Our immune system failed for a multitude of reasons,” he continues. “Who knows? We live in a world that has additives everywhere and no nourishment. Again, something has failed in our bodies to combat this thing and we just need from you is understanding, love and compassion.”
At the 1994 World Cup, Kooiman (Back row; 2nd from left) teamed with Alexi Lalas on the backline. | Courtesy of Cle Kooiman
Cle Kooiman’s body took him south of the border, initially to Cobras de Ciudad Juarez and then on to Cruz Azul and Moreila (before an MLS coda with Tampa Bay and Miami), at a time before Liga MX had hit the soccer mainstream stateside. That body once led a reporter to write “Kooiman looks more like a character from the James Caan film Rollerball than a soccer player” and it propelled him toward becoming the first US citizen to captain a team in Mexico.
At 6-foot-1, 190 pounds, the strapping defender and avid surfer made sure opponents remembered who he was, from the opening whistle. LA Galaxy assistant coach Dominic Kinnear both played against and alongside Kooiman, and told MLSsoccer.com that “you always knew you were up for a tough game when you were playing against him.” Kinnear says off the ball, Kooiman would remind opponents he was tracking them with a hand or a hit, but off the field was “a nice guy.”
Former USMNT backline teammate Alexi Lalas puts it this way: “Just a bat out of hell on the field in terms of the tackles, in terms of the way he talked to people, in terms of the things he did. He was a badass. And yet he was a kind and gentle giant off the field – and he still is.”
A father to two young children, Kooiman has also mentored hundreds of teenage soccer players over the years as a coach and director of coaching at Inland Empire Surf, a SoCal youth club where his teams have won national championships and helped kids advance to college careers.
“My favorite thing about coaching is a team playing a wonderful style of soccer, and my passion is truly helping a player who comes to us and turning that player into a college prospect,” he says. “I feel like I am a fixer, taking weaknesses of juniors and seniors and helping that player fix that piece of their game, whether it’s a mental, physical, technical or tactical issue or issues.”
[embedded content]
He’s most proud of the PACE (Players Academic Club of Excellence) program, which recognizes and rewards players who attain a grade-point average of 3.5 or higher, driving home the importance of academic success for both soccer and life.
Kooiman cites the stats, that in the past year they sent 51 kids to college from their community, which he describes as one of the state’s hardest hit on the socio-economic spectrum, where education takes a backseat to a difficult life. They work to inspire understanding of a degree’s potential to help backstop an injury-shortened sports career.
Colleagues and friends at IE Surf have organized a fundraiser for the Kooiman family’s expenses, and a fitting one: On June 1 MASL indoor team Ontario Fury will host a USA vs. Mexico exhibition match at Citizens Business Bank Arena, with 50 percent of the proceeds going towards his medical fund. (You can buy tickets or opt to donate directly.)
Wishing former Arena Soccer Star & USMNT Player Cle Kooiman a speedy recovery! Proceeds from tickets using link below for USA/Mexico June 1st in Ontario will help Cle & his family..call 909-457-0252 mention Cle when ordering! Or purchase online at https://t.co/32sXbTjzJw pic.twitter.com/Y2Gd29t74h
— American Association of Soccer 567 (@usasoccer567) May 15, 2018
“Everything to do with cancer is expensive,” says Cle. “The costs, to be frank, exceed anything that I was prepared for financially. We have had to cut many corners already and are managing, but it’s a heavy burden which I imagine all families who have been hit with someone in this exclusive – but not so exclusive – “C club” have felt. I find that people just don’t talk about it, and maybe feel ashamed or scared of what people may feel or think about them.”
It seems clear that the same things that made Kooiman a US soccer pioneer decades ago are powering his fight against cancer today.
“He represented this mammoth type of personality and physique,” says Lalas. “He’s approaching it with the same type of intensity and passion that he’s approached everything in life, and I think that will serve him well in what is obviously a difficult time and a big fight for him.”
Kooiman continues to handle his DOC work and coach two teams at IE Surf – “I can go about three hours straight on a good day” of coaching, he says – and has dived headlong into a range of health and lifestyle changes to improve his chances of survival. He’s already lost 33 pounds since his diagnosis.
“I have a ton of favorite stories,” he said of his life in coaching, “but the few that really stand out are the big ones which, through discipline, hard word, focus and commitment, we come from behind to win a big one: a state, regional, or national championship when everything is on the line, which needless to say is where I am now.
“I need to come from behind and find a way to win, even if it’s just time we are talking about. Time to be with my family and time to watch my kids grow up. Time seems to be the biggest hurdle and I’m going to squeeze every last second from the reaper.”

Loss of Yesterday, Looking forward to Tomorrow ch 9
Fandom: The Walking Dead
Pairing: Rick/OC
Warning: suicide attempt
Note:
Rick clenched his jaw as he looked Eva straight in the eye, "That is a bold accusation."
Eva immediately let her eyes go downcast as she played with the brim of the hat, his piercing eyes made her incredibly nervous. She kept her gaze from his, it was a strong accusation, and she really didn't have any evidence that he killed her father or not. She didn't have enough time to look at her father's corpse enough, and there was a potential that the walkers had eaten all the evidence.
"So, you're going off the word of some guy who thinks that everybody is a danger?"
Eva sighed, "I have no evidence that what Dale said is true, I couldn't examine my father's body enough to see where he was killed… I don't even know where he was hurt. Rick, have you had to put down somebody you love yet?"
Rick this time looked away as she looked up at him, "No."
Eva shifted her stance as she held her sides, an attempt to hold herself together, "It sucks. I saw my dad's dead eyes look at me…. Hungry."
Rick couldn't imagine having to put down his family, he believed that Lori and Carl had been safe or already dead. He didn't have to put them down.
Eva looked Rick square in the face, "Rick, I honestly hope that you will never have to put your family down."
While the two were talking it was Glenn who was sent to fetch him, telling them that there was a group meeting about Randal.
Inside almost the whole group was seated, there was one chair open and Rick claimed it immediately leaving Eva to stand by Maggie.
"Okay, now we can get this meeting ready" Patricia stated. Eva guessed that she was standing in for Hershel as he was finishing up with Randal
"Ok, I'll start" Shane said as he paced around to the side, not really getting close to the group, he addressed Rick. "Why would you bring another mouth, a mouth that have shot at you back to the barn?"
"We couldn't just leave him behind, he would have bled out" Rick argued, he was standing up with one foot up on the chair, he was leaning against it as if it gave him some strength. He looked at Maggie, "if he would have lived that long."
"It's gotten bad in town" Glenn piped up, his eyes looked weary and his body language suggested that he'd rather be recuperating.
"What do we do with him?" Andrea asked.
Eva hummed as she was going to reply when Hershel came in from the barn, "I repaired his calf muscle the best I can" he announced.
Everybody immediately looked at Hershel, "but he'll probably have nerve damage. Probably won't be on his feet for a week,"
"When he does, we'll give him a canteen, take him out to the main road and send him on his way,"
Eva shook her head, "He knows Hershel."
"Isn't that the same as leaving him for the walkers?" Andrea asked.
Rick looked at both the girls, "He'll have a fighting chance, just because he knows about Hershel doesn't mean that he knows where he lives. He was the town vet, he probably had a dog or something."
"Just gonna let him go?" Shane asked, skeptical, "Eva is right, he knows where we are."
Rick shook his head, "He was blindfolded the whole way here, he's not a threat." The blindfold was not exactly true, they had only thought of it after they had saved Eva.
"Not a threat! How many where there?" Shane sarcastically asked, "You killed three of their men, you took one of them hostage, but they just aint gonna come looking?" he was angry with Rick now.
"They left him for dead" Rick growled, he didn't like Shane acting like this. "No one is looking."
"We should still post a guard" T-dawg interjected, he was erring on the side of caution, as any sane person would.
"He's out cold right now, will be for hours" Hershel's voice cut through the dining room.
Shane took this moment to act like an ass. The relative peace was easily shattered. Shane was riling everybody up, especially Hershel. Because Shane was storming off it caught Hershel's wrath reminding him that he really wanted Shane off his land but Rick had talked him away from his decision. Hershel didn't want to hear Shane any more, and if Shane did that they would live more or less in peace.
Shane conceded with a simple nod of his head and walked away, with him running his hand over his bald head. The tension immediately dwindled.
Rick told Hershel that they weren't going to act on Randal today and they needed the time to cool off and get their head back on right. Eva noticed how Andrea looked offended and followed Shane out the door.
It seemed that because the two people left it gave everybody the permission to leave also. The group broke from the meeting almost immediately, trying to go back to what they were doing, to whatever semblance of normal they now had.
Eva watched Rick as some of his thunder was taken from him, she walked by him and gave him a pat on the back. She was going to check on Beth before she continued on her chores. Beth was still lying on her bed, comatose in her own way. She brought the chair close to the bed. Eva took her cold hand, "Oh B, I thought you'd be better already"
Beth obviously didn't respond. Hershel came in not but a few minutes later, her eyes moved as he placed a hand on her forehead. Eva looked up at him, she was hoping Hershel would somehow fix her.
Maggie came in after Hershel, Eva felt like the tiny room really shouldn't have more than two people inside. Hershel looked to Eva, "Can I take the seat?" he asked as he pulled out his pocket watch. Eva nodded as she stood by the foot of the bed. Hershel took his youngest daughter's wrist and counted her pulse.
"Has she eaten?" he asked the two women, "No" Eva verbalized and Maggie shook her head. "I'll give her a sedative, it'll stop her body from working too hard."
Eva nodded, maybe this was for the best, to give her a moments rest.
"You were drinking" Maggie accused.
Hershel sighed, "That was the least of my worries"
"You left and I didn't know what to do!" Maggie's voice was wobbly like she was about to cry or scream. Hershel looked at Maggie then back to Beth, he looked slightly tormented.
Eva felt like she was intruding upon a deep family matter, "I should leave" she commented.
"No, you can stay" Maggie replied, "I need to check on some things" she left the two alone.
"She's just angry because she didn't know what to do…. She was scared" Eva tried to comfort Hershel. His back slumped as he sighed, "None of us knew what to do."
She put a hand to Hershel's shoulder, he smiled wearily at her, "Beth will be just fine" he told her.
Eva nodded, "Do you want some alone time?"
Hershel nodded, "just a few minutes."
Eva left Hershel to do what he needed to do, she went out to the barn to clean the manure. Despite the smell and the chores it was the pure simplicity and mundane that she enjoyed. It was almost a sense of déjà vu.
The rest of the day passed without much problems, Rick and Lori spent a good amount in their tent, and everybody made sure not to get close to the tent as the couple spent alone time.
Shane and Andrea were gone for a good amount also, Eva didn't want to even know where everybody was or what they were doing.
The next day.
Eva was washing dishes in the warm soapy water. Her mind was elsewhere, earlier in the morning Rick announced that he and Shane were going out on a drive. Before they left Rick sought out Eva who was eating breakfast on the porch steps.
His hand gently squeezed Eva's arm, "Shane and I are going out for a drive."
"Ok?" she replied with skepticism.
"I believe you, and I'm going to address it."
Eva blinked curiously at him, "What?" He smiled at her, it wasn't a wide one in fact it was quite small. He gave her arm a final squeeze and left.”But don’t think you’re off the hook yet.” he warned, while it wasn’t stern, it was still a warning.
Eva watched them leave, she couldn't really understand what he was talking about. And this is where Eva found herself, cleaning long overdue dishes.
Maggie was visiting with Beth, who had gotten better since the other day. She was awake and reactive.
Maggie and Lori was cutting meat and cutting tomatoes "Rick say anything to you about Glenn when they got back to town?"
"Just said that had gotten pretty bad" Lori dismissed.
"He's not the same" Maggie noted.
Eva hummed, "I'm sure he's just rattled."
Lori looked at the woman's back, they were still on shaky ground.
Maggie continued, "Says he froze" she sighed as she looked away, "Blames me. Says I got inside his head."
"He came back- that's what matters" Lori said. "Men have to do certain things, you know that, and they're either gonna blame the little woman as the reason they do 'em or the reason they don't"
Lori took a baking sheet from a cupboard, "I'll tell you something- what happens out there happens out there" she moved around, "And we…. We're just trying to keep it together till they get back."
"Things were maybe I-"
"Glenn's a big boy, he makes his own choices and then you… do you have anything to apologize for?" Lori asked while munching on a cucumber slice.
"This probably the first time he was in real danger from humans not walkers" Eva noted.
Maggie shook her head to show she wasn't sorry, Lori shrugged "Tell him to man up and pull himself together."
Eva tensed, she didn't like Lori's attitude, Glenn was scared, and it couldn't be fixed with a 'man up'.
"Just don't say 'man up' it never goes well."
Maggie smiled and took some food, "Let me just get this to Beth."
"You go on, we got this" Maggie nodded to both the women with Lori taking the food tray to Beth.
Eva watched Maggie through the window as she continued with her chores.
Eva began to hum the song 'Jolene' as she did the dishes, today was just one of those days, a day where the sun was out and shining and things were looking up. She never thought she could feel good enough to hum or sing again especially with Beth still in her bed and Hershel still somewhat in lala land.
Eva finished with her dishes and went to finish other things. She helped Maggie with the eggs and milking the cows.
They were in the middle of working when Glenn solicited Maggie's attention. Once again Eva was alone. She continued to hum from earlier, time to time she'd sing a line, "Lucky bird inside a gilded cage. Golden words spoken by an ancient sage. Everything you may have in life. Still, all you hold is dust."
She had been to Disneyland and saw the Aladdin show, it was particularly amazing. The two groups were abuzz she could hear people running around but she didn't really care. If Hershel noticed that they couldn't finish their chores they would be in trouble.
Maggie came into the barn, "Beth did something stupid" she simply stated. Milk was immediately left forgotten.
Maggie and Eva ran to the home, however Andrea and Lori barred Eva from entering the room. Eva was forced to wait with Lori and Andrea. "What happened?" she asked.
Lori sighed as she leaned against the sink, "When I brought her food she took the steak knife"
Eva gasped, "Wait… did she want to commit suicide?" She could feel her stomach churning, she could feel the bile threatening to creep up.
Lori nodded, "Yeah but I stopped her, it's a family affair, let them work it out"
Andrea looked incredulously at her, "That's working it out?" They were listening to the sisters shout at each other.
Eva felt stung by Lori's words, she was forced to wait because she wasn't family despite the fact that she knew every child for their entire life.
"When Beth stops fighting that's when it's time to worry" Lori commented.
"Beth will stop fighting a lot quicker than you realize" Eva commented, "She will stop verbally fighting."
"This could have been handled better?"
"How so?"
"You shouldn't have taken the knife away" Andrea commented.
Both Lori and Eva looked at her, appalled. "Excuse me?" Lori asked
"Yeah, do explain."
"You were wrong, like Dale taking my gun. That wasn't your decision."
"And letting her attempt suicide is?" Eva asked.
"Better attempt and realize you don't want to die than entertain the idea."
Eva shook her head, "I disagree."
"She has to choose to live on her own, she had to find her own reason."
"Want me to tie a noose for her?" Lori sarcastically asked, she still didnt allow for Eva or Andrea inside the house.
"If she's serious she'll figure out a way."
"Over my dead body" Eva declared, she wasn't going to let Beth take her own life.
