| Processing gif wfwc5byitzqa1... When he pulled up the the Petersonās house he all of a sudden felt like he had a rock in his stomach. Part of him was afraid of another interrogation session from Mr. Peterson, and the other part of him was worried he would look at Amy wrong and the entire car ride would be extremely awkward. Not to mention that he had developed a raging erection on the car ride over. He wasnāt sure if it was one of those random ones or some type of built up tension with Kaylee or even anticipation of seeing Amy in the new light Steve described her in. He did the classic up-tuck behind his jeans waistline as he got out of the car to cover it up. I grabbed her and forced her back down to the bed. I woke after what seemed like ten minutes to a hand down my shorts. somethinā.ā "is he ok" she asked Paige looked uneasily at the emotional blonde. "Hey, let's go, Zoe, okay? We're late for class." I felt something building in my balls. The orgasm took me almost by surprise, as my cock spurted out bursts of cum into her in time with my thrusts. Each spurt hit me with a small comet of pleasure and it was my turn to moan in time with something. I didn't really form the words properly, but I hoped that she was able to hear me declare that I too was coming. āWell would you just look at that little cream pie.ā I said Read 25890 times When Deana got to Evan's room, he didn't wait for the door to close before asking, "What happened? I saw Mom leaving your room. Did she see you like that?" As we left, we wandered around the mall. We had met for an afternoon showing, that had made it seem a less āofficial dateā, but it had also given us some time to kill. As we walked, we talked about all sorts of things, and I realized that she was really a very sweet girl. Another Friday night has come upon us as I invited over my best friend Marcus to spend the weekend with. We decide we want to have some fun so we invite Grace to spend the weekend with us. I'm still the only guy Grace had ever fucked. After my 14th birthday, Grace and I had hung out several times after to fuck. She had gotten adventurous the last few times and she had me fuck her in the ass. She enjoyed it and had expressed several times that she would want to do two guys at once. Madison and Amelia hadn't gotten to that stage yet. She began rubbing the vibrator lightly against herself. "That's better, but press more firmly," Michelle instructed. "Here, let me help." While Melissa watched incredulously, Michelle placed a hand over Wendy's and began guiding it over her body, then captured Wendy's other hand and used it to rub one of her own breasts. āMore what?ā Her words trailed off into a moan as I slid all the way back into her, ironically going to the beat of the song, which was nice, seeing as Rita started to sing some of the words to the song in my ear. I buried my face in her neck and closed my eyes so I could focus on the feel of her pussy gripping my cock like it never wanted to let go, her nipples poking into my chest and her legs wrapped around me telling me she wants more, and the sound of her soft voice as she switches between singing the song and moaning in my ear, it was a lot to concentrate on, but it was well worth it. His balls tingled and the surge was coming. āHurry turn around!ā She wasnāt quick enough and he hurried to put it back in, but he accidentally entered the exit. She screamed as his dick crammed into her asshole. She tried to jump back but had nowhere to go, and his hot fluid spurted inside. and in its place is the face of an aged and kindly man. "So what do you think?" Gina asked. "About me stealing another girl's cheerleader uniform for your big Halloween party?" When I pulled out a condom she insisted that I didnāt need to use one with her. I told her that I always do. She said that it was like fucking without the feeling. I had to agree with her. Then she told me that she couldnāt get pregnant while nursing. That brought me back to reality, she had nursed the last two kids, and she had gotten pregnant quite quickly. I slipped the condom down over my erection and then I slipped it into her. After about three minutes she asked me what was taking me so long, then she assumed that it was the raincoat that I had put over my cock. That poor girl had never had good sex. I was determined to show her what sex was supposed to be like for the woman. Up until then guys had just used her as a place to cum and she let them. Now the fact that most of the girls had been staring at me since I arrived had started to make me feel gustier, so when my eyes made contact with hers and she blushed I decided to throw all caution to the wind. I remember one tall, gorgeous woman that was maybe 35-40. She was a handful. She was about 5' 8", dishwater blonde curls down to her middle back with long legs and a nice heart shaped ass. She were a cotton muslin shirt and no bra, yeah it was that obvious. Her breasts were the proverbial champagne glass size, but oh those nipples. We were "dancing" to a semi slow Pure Prairie League song when she pulled tight into me, those nipples felt like they'd drill into my chest. She was nibbling on my neck and grinding her crotch against my leg. She was cooking and i was finding it hard to believe she couldn't feel my stiffness pressing into her hip. She reached up and started to French me and our tongues started a dance of their own. She tasted of menthol and Kahlua. She kept grinding and soon shuddered against my leg, did she just cum? I don't know but I do know she was flushed and breathing hard. The dance floor was crowded but soon enough the song ended and I readjusted myself as subtly as I could. I made it back to my table, sat down and cooled off with another frosted mug of draft. I noticed she was staggering as she tried to navigate back to her table. She almost fell and I started to get up but her girlfriends caught her and sat her down. This one looked promising. I had to hit the head though and when I got back, both she and her friends were gone. Oh Mariah Haskell was lying naked atop a strangely shaped bed, hugely pregnant. She appeared to be either sleeping or unconscious, although the latter seemed more likely. A feeding tube was inserted through her nose; as Zoe watched, liquid mixed with unidentifiable clots of something moved from the wall down the tube into the teen's stomach. Some sort of goo leaked from her inflamed pussy, surrounding a short catheter tube from which piss trickled continuously. A collection trough guided all of this to a drain in the floor. "I never thought of it that way, but you're right. I don't know how, I just know we were all friends." I pulled my cock out of her āYeah, youāre gonna screw your boyfriend. Do I need to put on a fucking rubber this time?ā I pressed full length back in. āLook, I tried to be good and focus on the lesson, but in exchange for that⦠Could we please⦠yāknowā¦ā "Bye Sweetie!" his mom shouts to Maria as she reaches for the door knob. I stared at her in utter confusion as she climbed off me and started pulling her clothes back on. Julia approached me seductively, her long, swaying hair going this and that way. I finally managed to recover as her lips brushed against my own. With no hesitation my hands started to freely roam all over her body, wanting to feel every square inch of her. Me: dnt count sheep. It dsnt werk. With a groan, Draco woke up and sat himself up on the soft carpet of his living room. "A little?" She again responded with the same tone as before. We mouth wrestle and I take in Katyās ample curves with my fingers tracing around her hips and sides, her lightly metallic taste in my mouth as we kiss, and the smell of her skin and whatever girly body wash she bathed in that smells familiar. All of these things distract me as Katy herself has been slowly pulling my shorts down, not a lot but enough to get my member free and I feel warm wet on the head as she starts pulling me in. I donāt fight her but I take a moment to get one of her D cup breasts free, of all of my girls sheās the biggest in the chest, before gently suckling on the nipple. I get a light moan from my work with my mouth and a louder one as I feel my head press inside her folds. I am not in a rush as I slowly push myself inside Katy and enjoy the warm welcome that her body is giving me. I get seated all the way inside and take my mouth off her nipple and start kissing on her neck as Iām taking long strokes in and out of Katy. "Is he?..." "I don't get it." Chris said, looking at the cock going in and out of that mature pink pussy then down at his own. The orgasm ripped through me moments later. It shook my entire body, forcing squirt after squirt to gush out of my slit. The hot nectar splashed into my sisterās face, but she didnāt seem to mind. She kept purring as her tongue darted in and out of me. I did the same, though I used moans to voice my ecstasy. But it mattered little, because the entire world seemed to have faded away, leaving only my orgasm behind. I continued focusing on it until the final squirt oozed out of me and my trembling body grew still. With one final moan, my first orgasm as an adult officially came to an end. I never turned around i simply opened the door and went to my room. I shut the door, turned on some music and sat on the floor against my bed. Then i cried. I donāt know for how long. Instead, I focused on just how sexy she looked in the unofficial uniform of Smokey Bones. Tight, oh-so-tight jeans and a tight black collared t-shirt completed the ensemble. Of course her girl senses alerted her to my scrutiny, and just to twist the knife, she put a little extra wiggle into her hips.

Extracurriculars:

so some things that could boost my app are that i applied to a bunch of summer programs (TASS, WTP, MITES), so if i get into one of those (will update in a few weeks) that would be a huge boost. if not, i'll just get a normal job this summer. the other thing is that i'm probably gonna start a tutoring business geared towards low-income kids at my school sometime soon. also i have a podcast with my friends but it's lowkey reallllly bad so idk if i'd put it
Awards: if the last section was bad idek abt this one 1. academic challenge stuff 2. all-league in soccer (somehow even tho i suck lmfao) 3. AP schol w/ distinction (was the 1st person in my district to ever get it as an underclassmen so maybe that's something?) 4. national merit semifinalist (don't know for sure but got 1500/1520, so it's safe to assume i think) 5. like straight-As award or something, i really don't have anything for this spot so far ngl
if you guys have advice for farming easy awards or essay contests or something please dm me, i really need help lmao
Essays/LORs/Other: ok so i'm probably gonna make my essays super quirky which could either work really well or get me rejected everywhere. i'm gonna use summer programs and fly-ins as a test and see what happens. am also definitely gonna utilize my identity as trans and stuff to hopefully play to my advantage, altho it's not gonna be like the main themes of my essays necessarily, so like i wont make it my personality or anything
-first LOR is from my history teacher in 9th and 11th. he's seen me transition, overcome a fuck ton of mental problems, grow as a student, and basically go from the quietest kid in the class to one of the most outspoken. we have a pretty personal relationship and often talk abt music, book recs, philosophy, and politics. he's a really good writer and has also been a prof at kenyon for both history and phil, so this one is def a 10/10 -next LOR is probably either gonna be from my phys or neuro teachers. i kinda know them both and they def like me, but idk how good they are as writers or how much they know me apart from my academics, ECs, and a couple more personal things i've talked to them abt. i'd give it like a 7 or 8/10 -counselor rec: um well she knows who i am, which is better than most can say but she'll probably just say i'm smart and a nice kid and stuff idk probably like a 5/10
Additional Info: i'm immunocompromised, and so that on top of an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, undiagnosed ADHD, and beginning a transition kinda stopped me from doing a ton as an underclassmen, and then this year one of my parents got cancer sooo yeah. idrk how much to explain to AOs, esp with the mental stuff, but at schools that don't require a STEM rec i was thinking abt getting a rec from either my apush or ap lang teacher bc they also know abt my personal life and growth, just not as much as my history teacher from 9th and 11th. i was just worried abt that tho since i want to go into math, but it's not like i want to get a math teacher rec anyway ( i don't really know my profs this year and wasn't overly close with my teachers last year) so idk if it even matters fr, esp bc i'll be applying everywhere as philosophy. i could also even maybe get a therapist rec but that lowkey sounds kinda like a horrible idea idk
Schools: gonna shotgun reaches and full rides, any feedback or suggestions are greatly appreciated!!

The way freedom dies. And the path it took.
Now I'll start off with some inspiration for all Americans from Americans. The American declaration of independence states the following in it's article 11 but for those saying I take what I want out of context to suit my own ends...yes that is correct.

Why do we let people who Right now. At this moment are acting to accelerate if not make it a certainty. The lives of our grandchildren will be worsening. More world wide famine disease and war.

It was in ancient Greece that Pluto stated "It should never be more then six to one ratio in financial pay between the highest and lowest employee."
It wasn't until 1923 that J.P Morgan said " it was actually more like 20:1 as optimal difference. (I'm sure him being a banker is just coincidence.) Now just 100 years later it is sometimes 500:1. Even 1000:1. When the income inequality, is in a ratio of 500 to 1, and it is been known to be 1000 to 1 but even 500 to 1. The whole concept of living may as well be between two different species. The difference in economy, ideals , or just the ways of living all together. The ranges of disparity is in entirely different brackets. One never seeing even the best of the worst of the other in any circumstances.
Where how and why it all went wrong....

The original head of marketing Instagram, creator of thumbs up on facebook specifically for instance.
They all agree on attention grabbing tactics being used to work for the interest of someone rich.
Misinformation comes in all shapes and sizes.
All Forms and fashions. To all conceivable degrees and extents.
As countless and limitless as the ppls own personal perspectives allows them to. It can be on purpose on accident.
For fun, for harm, and just for the fuck of it. For the calculator of profits always going up....
This is a problem for us all that can only get worse the longer it goes unaddressed.
The FED is the lobbyist for the commercial banking system. Plutocracy is government by the rich.
Trickle down economics: Reaganomics as it's sometimes referred to
as: - The only responsibility of the corporation is that of the fiduciary responsibility. To it's stock holders, even at the expense of the stake holders, at the expense of the environment, and community.
this is not the solution it is in fact the problem. It is the reason for 90% of the suffering by the 99% less rich then the top 1% of wealth holders.
If I create money in my home it is considered bad counterfeit and illegal.
When businesses do this with no money it is called " cooking the books" Also illegal.
When private and commercial banks do it it is legal, and when you continue to allow fraud to remain legalized it creates a lot of problems that can have nothing done against them.
In 1971 Nixon takes America off the gold standard system replaced with the FIAT system.
Fiat is Latin for let it be so by the way.
Only governments can make a Fiat currency. And only banks can create by lending. Central banks lend to investment banks , who lend to commercial banks, who lend to top corporations , who go to giant govt contractors, who then finally lend to borrowers.
It was in 1932 that the glass steagall act was passed to help oppose this. Yet in 1999 treasury's Secretary at the time Larry summers. As well as his predecessor Robert Rubin repealed this glass steagall act. Goldman Sachs uses money to buy influence in Congress to pass laws to make it easier to make money on wall street to buy more influence in Congress....one of the most influential investment banks of the world in Sept 2008, just about one month before the stock market crashed conveniently changed it's banking status from investment to commercial,this made it eligible for state protection. During the bailout Then congressman Hank Paulson more or less said. If you don't bail us banks out for letting this problem occur via these methods that were supposed to just the opposite. Every citizens bank account empties and they revolt. Do what you got to. Make it ,borrow it, whatever we need a 700 billion dollar bail out now. This is how along with Allen Greenspan's timely encouraging you get inflation and insurance causing subprime housing crises.
Proof the govt tries to make money and does not care if you die is in the following. when the same people in private health care, who are the very ones always saying to go get a second opinion, want to allow only one in the public debate you have problems 1987 CDC knew how and who aids would most likely effect and harm. Instead of being helpful and precise a fear campaign was launched. " Aids will explode into the hetero sexual community." , So instead a lot of in reality not even needed but now clogging the lines for those who do from being tested, Was said on commercials to the public at large. Just like covid is not Russian roulette, and of course technically anything can kill anyone or anything else at any time, yea sure it's not wrong. That is the just the law of the universe and as such it applies at all times to all things regardless of gender , race economic status , or personal preference of the plethora of human enjoyments practiced throughout the ages. As of may 2021 according to the CDC 75% of covid deaths are 65 years or older in America. 98-99% of those are unvaccinated. So if if your 65 years old or older and not vaccinated don't go crowd surfing at a concert or you will probably be a goner. Problems including but not limited too.... Countless prescriptions labeled effective, safe , now giving out lawsuits for those who took them.
The way and the order of actions most important to take over listed as chronological events. Then given as way played off after.
Systemic Changes During Economic Downturns:
Increase in unemployment rates Decrease in consumer spending Increase in government spending on social welfare programs Decrease in government tax revenues Decrease in corporate profits Increase in business bankruptcies and closures Increase in foreclosure rates and home price declines Decrease in GDP growth Increase in government debt levels Increase in poverty rates Increase in income inequality Controversial policy's passing congress during economic downturns:
Economic stimulus packages Unemployment benefit extensions Bailouts for specific industries Changes to tax policy Changes to regulations on financial institutions Infrastructure spending Presidential remarks during economic downturns:
Calls for bipartisan cooperation to address the economic crisis Promises to create jobs and stimulate economic growth Urges for increased government spending on social welfare programs Proposals for tax cuts or other measures to spur economic activity Systemic Changes During Economic Upswings:
Decrease in unemployment rates Increase in consumer spending Increase in government tax revenues Increase in corporate profits Decrease in business bankruptcies and closures Increase in home prices and decreases in foreclosure rates Increase in GDP growth Decrease in government debt levels Decrease in poverty rates Decrease in income inequality
Controversial policy's passing congress during economic upswings: Tax cuts Deregulation of industries Changes to government spending priorities Infrastructure spending during economic upswings Claims credit for economic growth and job creation Proposes tax cuts or other measures to continue economic growthPromises to maintain fiscal responsibility and decrease government debt levels
For example, government spending on social welfare programs tends. To increase during economic downturns and decrease during economic upswings, but the specific programs and amounts of funding may change over time. Similarly, tax policy changes and deregulation can have long-lasting impacts on the economy,
Other systemic changes, such as changes in unemployment rates, GDP growth, and income inequality may be more cyclical and subject to fluctuations over time. However, even these changes can be influenced by long-term factors such as technological innovation, demographic shifts, and globalization.

2023.03.31 02:48 its_vf Former AFLW players, WAFLW stars and code hoppers: Western Australiaās top draft prospects
https://www.codesports.com.au/afl/aflw/former-aflw-players-waflw-stars-and-code-hoppers-western-australias-top-draft-prospects/news-story/f36c3b90d4dac1241eec6eb9517b7e1a Several WAFLW stars are set to have their dreams realised in this yearās AFLW draft.
Unlike previous drafts, Tuesdayās ballot has been called a supplementary draft and will feature overlooked, mature-age talent from previous pools. Players are also able to nominate for a national draft pool for the first time, giving themselves a greater chance of realising their dreams, or opt to stay local and select Western Australia.
Delisted AFLW players, WAFLW stars and some smokies, who have caught the eye of clubs, are among the host of hopefuls to put their names forward with strong starts to the season.
These are the WA players to watch out for at Tuesdayās draft.
Claremont
Jasmin Stewart: A familiar name in AFLW circles after playing 22 games for Fremantle, Stewart is pursuing a second chance at the top level. The midfieldeforward has dominated for Claremont since stepping away from AFLW last year, winning the Lou Knitter medal in the Tigersā grand final victory over East Fremantle. Has nominated for the national draft but been linked to South Australia, largely Port Adelaide.
Matilda Dyke: The key position talent has been there or thereabouts for the past few seasons but has recently found her place in the ruck. Was a train-on at West Coast, where she was told her kicking needed work, so sheās poured time and effort into that area. She wonāt be a dominant AFLW ruck but Dyke possesses a great leap and her work around the ground is like having another midfielder.
Mackenzie Webb: The key defender was a train-on at Fremantle last season and even elevated to emergency at one point when the Dockers were short on players. While Webb has missed a few games with a minor knee injury, the Tigers are taking a precautionary approach given her importance to the WA U18 squad.
Matilda Sergeant: The reliable defender is seeking a second chance after she was delisted by Fremantle at the end of last season following several injury interrupted years. Even while injured, Sergeant earnt plenty of off-field praise for her attitude and commitment to the team. Sheās set to return to Claremont this weekend in one last bid to impress an eastern-states suitor ahead of Tuesdayās draft.
Claire Ortlepp: Could prove a smoky pick for any club in need of a defender. Sheās been unbeatable in the opening rounds of the season and won 25 disposals last weekend against Swan Districts.
Jayme Harken: The established midfielder is enjoying life at Claremont after making the switch from Subiaco in the off-season. Harken has averaged 21 disposals across the opening three rounds and is set to test the waters in the national draft.
East Fremantle
Ashleigh Gomes: The Sharksā captain made her AFLW debut last season after earning a late-call up on West Coastās list as an injury replacement player. The inside midfielder finished second in the Dhara Kerr medal last year and now knows what it takes to play at the next level.
Jae Flynn: The hardworking midfielder spent last AFLW season as a train-on at Fremantle and was even elevated to an emergency late in the season. After spending last season in defence, the quick and agile Flynn has found a home on the wing. A chance to end up at the Dockers.
Amber Kinnane: Another one to spend last season at Fremantle as a train-on, the tough midfielder has come a long way in the past two seasons. A dynamic hunter of the footy.
Chloe Reilly: A few years ago, the forward was a member of WAās U18 squad and being spoken about as a draft contender. After a year-long battle with shin splints, Reilly is back playing senior football at East Fremantle. Sheās kicked 2.6 in the opening three rounds but still has a desire to play at the next level.
Mylee Leitch: A member of WAās state academy side in 2021, Leitch has continued to press her draft claims with some strong senior form at the Sharks. While sheās not a high accumulator, the 19-year-old always makes something happen when sheās got the footy.
Emmelie Fiedler: The 20-year-old has emerged as somewhat of a draft smoky after a strong start to the season for the Sharks. After graduating from the Perth Football League, Fiedler played mostly reserves last season but sheās led the ruck so far this year and covers the ground well.
East Perth
Ruby Burgess: The young and emerging ruck won 20 hitouts on the weekend and has also improved her marking power as she learns how to have an impact up forward. Her ruck craft is improving by the game and she found several teammates on the run against Peel.
Peel Thunder
Jade Briggs: The 20-year-old midfieldeforward has spent time at Fremantle as a train-on in the past. Boasts a booming left foot, competes in the air and at ground level and is ultimately a team player.
Chloe Wrigley: Clubs looking for midfield grunt, look no further. Wrigley is a tackling machine and laid an incredible 17 to go with 23 touches in round three of the WAFLW. A dual-premiership player for Peel, Wrigley won the Lou Knitter medal for best on ground in the 2020 decider and has been a train-on at both Fremantle and West Coast.
South Fremantle
Ariana Hetherington: A former state basketballer and rugby player, the AFLW is next on Hetheringtonās to-do list. Sheās raw but got a fantastic build for footy. The ruck is leading WAFLW hitouts and has attracted interest from Fremantle.
Trinity Brown: The Eaton product made her league debut last year for Peel Thunder before making the switch to the Bulldogs in 2023. At least one club is tracking the defenderās progress but she may need more time to pitch her case.
Tahleah Mulder: Mulder has joined the Bulldogs this year from amateur outfit Piara Waters after finishing in the top three of the league best and fairest. The 21-year-old midfielder is hard at the football, great with second efforts and developing at a rapid rate.
Swan Districts
Ruby Mahony: The Bunbury product has impressed since making her WAFLW debut last year to the point she was named as a train-on at Fremantle. The tough midfielder attracted some interest last time around and won Swan Districtsā rookie of the year award but her kicking remains a question mark.
Jess Cox: The Swans captain has forged a reputation as a tough, inside midfielder. Boasts one of the stronger frames in the competition and can also hit targets by foot. Has nominated for the national draft.
Madizen Wilkins: The dashing defender was the lucky train-on called upon to debut for the injury-hit Dockers last season, delaying a planned holiday to Hawaii to make her dream a reality. Wilkins was a strong chance to get officially listed by Fremantle in the one-off supplementary draft but her chances have taken a hit after she broke her arm in round one.
Joanne Cregg: Thereās some rumblings at the Lions that the mature-age Irishwoman could follow in the footsteps of Amy Mulholland and join Fremantle. After also starting her career at Wembley in the Perth Football League, Cregg has forced her way into Subiacoās midfield and started the season in strong fashion with her Gaelic background coming to the fore.
Tarni Golisano: The Subiaco captain knows what it takes to play at the top level, having played four games for Fremantle in its inaugural season. Still only 26, sheās been a consistent ball winner for the Lions
Tess Lyons: In just her second year of WAFLW football after working her way up from PFL club University, Lyons is one of the best tap rucks in the league. Kicking still a question but is athletic and powerful.
West Perth
Grace Betti: The former futsal player has made a huge improvement in her first two seasons at WAFLW level. The 21-year-old was a train-on for West Coast last year. Has huge upside and her evasiveness and vision are a standout.
Bianca Webb: The 21-year-old midfielder spent four AFLW seasons at Fremantle, playing 19 games before she was delisted at the end of season seven. Has made a much welcomed return to West Perth, where she is helping mentor the next generation of Falcons. Hoping to revive her AFLW dream in the national draft.
Jess Roper: An honest lockdown defender, Roper never gives her opposition an easy look. Her ability to turn defence into offence earnt her a train-on stint at Fremantle and her strong form has continued in 2023. Height could be a question mark.
Jeevna Heer: Another to earn a train-on stint at Fremantle last season, Heer is athletic, quick and tall. She is one of the Falconsā best runners but her slight frame could hurt her chances.
Emily Bennett: The reliable defender was delisted by West Coast at the conclusion of season seven after six games. Has since joined forces with the Falcons but has put her hand uMup for the national draft. Is good on the rebound.

In the film, a young wife living in a 2250s company town begins to believe there is a sinister secret being kept from her by the man who runs it. What is the story of Shazam! Fury of the Gods?

In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Nearly 5,000 years have passed, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods has gone from man to myth to legend. Now free, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern-day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher, and Cyclone.
Shazam! Fury of the Godsā is by far the best of the four films starring Keanu Reeves as the eponymous hit man, the first of the cycle that Iād recommendāalbeit with an asterisk. The new film (which opens Friday) has many of the same problems as its predecessors; although these problems are interesting, theyāre far more fun to contemplate in the rearview mirror of thought than in the real-time forward motion of viewing. But something happens, fairly late in the game, that converts the filmās merely technical displays of bloody murder into something suspenseful and romantic, if no less silly. The details are too good to give away, but thereās no harm and much pleasure in considering how the movie climbs, slowly but surely, to that light-headed summit.
One of the curiosities of the Shazam! Fury of the Gods series is that, as an entirely original creation dependent on no prior properties, it has nonetheless given rise to an alluring and self-perpetuating mythology of its own. The premise of Wickworld is cleverly paranoiac, built around the tentacular connections between the crude underworld of contract killers and the shadowy overlords who keep them in action. That wicked authority is called the High Table; it dispenses orders to kill on pain of being killed, ratifies contracts for murder, and brokers the deals for bounty hunters. It commands John to kill, and it sets him up to be killed, but it also sets the tone of the movie. The High Table exemplifies a super-Ʃlite of secret societies with elaborate rites, deeply rooted aristocracies, a flaunting of mind-bending wealth, and the executive ruthlessness of a transnational shadow government that has the power to wreak havoc in public with impunity.
On 24th March 2023, Keanu Reeves starring JW4, is coming to your nearest theaters. This American neo-noir action thriller will be 169 minutes long and distributed by Lionsgate. Already, the official YouTube trailer is out, vibing fans' expectations!

Shazam! Fury of the Godsā is by far the best of the four films starring Keanu Reeves as the eponymous hit man, the first of the cycle that Iād recommendāalbeit with an asterisk. The new film (which opens Friday) has many of the same problems as its predecessors; although these problems are interesting, theyāre far more fun to contemplate in the rearview mirror of thought than in the real-time forward motion of viewing. But something happens, fairly late in the game, that converts the filmās merely technical displays of bloody murder into something suspenseful and romantic, if no less silly. The details are too good to give away, but thereās no harm and much pleasure in considering how the movie climbs, slowly but surely, to that light-headed summit.
One of the curiosities of the Shazam! Fury of the Gods series is that, as an entirely original creation dependent on no prior properties, it has nonetheless given rise to an alluring and self-perpetuating mythology of its own. The premise of Wickworld is cleverly paranoiac, built around the tentacular connections between the crude underworld of contract killers and the shadowy overlords who keep them in action. That wicked authority is called the High Table; it dispenses orders to kill on pain of being killed, ratifies contracts for murder, and brokers the deals for bounty hunters. It commands John to kill, and it sets him up to be killed, but it also sets the tone of the movie. The High Table exemplifies a super-Ʃlite of secret societies with elaborate rites, deeply rooted aristocracies, a flaunting of mind-bending wealth, and the executive ruthlessness of a transnational shadow government that has the power to wreak havoc in public with impunity.
On 24th March 2023, Keanu Reeves starring JW4, is coming to your nearest theaters. This American neo-noir action thriller will be 169 minutes long and distributed by Lionsgate. Already, the official YouTube trailer is out, vibing fans' expectations!

2023.03.30 22:26 Formal-Mud-990 The way freedom dies. And the path it took.
The way and the order of actions most important to take over listed as chronological events.
Systemic Changes During Economic Downturns:
Increase in unemployment rates Decrease in consumer spending Increase in government spending on social welfare programs Decrease in government tax revenues Decrease in corporate profits Increase in business bankruptcies and closures Increase in foreclosure rates and home price declines Decrease in GDP growth Increase in government debt levels Increase in poverty rates Increase in income inequality Controversial policy's passing congress during economic downturns:
Economic stimulus packages Unemployment benefit extensions Bailouts for specific industries Changes to tax policy Changes to regulations on financial institutions Infrastructure spending Presidential remarks during economic downturns:
Calls for bipartisan cooperation to address the economic crisis Promises to create jobs and stimulate economic growth Urges for increased government spending on social welfare programs Proposals for tax cuts or other measures to spur economic activity Systemic Changes During Economic Upswings:
Decrease in unemployment rates Increase in consumer spending Increase in government tax revenues Increase in corporate profits Decrease in business bankruptcies and closures Increase in home prices and decreases in foreclosure rates Increase in GDP growth Decrease in government debt levels Decrease in poverty rates Decrease in income inequality Controversial policy's passing congress during economic upswings:
Tax cuts Deregulation of industries Changes to government spending priorities Infrastructure spending Presidential remarks during economic upswings Claims credit for economic growth and job creation Proposes tax cuts or other measures to continue economic growth Promises to maintain fiscal responsibility and decrease government debt levels
For example, government spending on social welfare programs tends to increase during economic downturns and decrease during economic upswings, but the specific programs and amounts of funding may change over time. Similarly, tax policy changes and deregulation can have long-lasting impacts on the economy,
Other systemic changes, such as changes in unemployment rates, GDP growth, and income inequality , may be more cyclical and subject to fluctuations over time. However, even these changes can be influenced by long-term factors such as technological innovation, demographic shifts, and globalization.
And who controls the long term and how? In the following.
Earl Miller ,along with alot of original top level of various positions.
The original head of marketing Instagram, creator of thumbs up on facebook specifically for instance.
They all agree on attention grabbing tactics being used to work for the interest of someone rich.
Misinformation comes in all shapes and sizes.
All Forms and fashions. To all conceivable degrees and extents.
As countless and limitless as the ppls own personal perspectives allows them to. It can be on purpose on accident.
For fun, for harm, and just for the fuck of it.
This is a problem for us all that can only get worse the longer it goes unaddressed.
The FED is the lobbyist for the commercial banking system. Plutocracy is government by the rich.
Trickle down economics: Reaganomics as it's sometimes referred to
as: - The only responsibility of the corporation is that of the fiduciary responsibility. To it's stock holders, even at the expense of the stake holders, at the expense of the environment, and community.
this is not the solution it is in fact the problem. It is the reason for 90% of the suffering by the 99% less rich then the top 1% of wealth holders.
If I create money in my home it is considered bad counterfeit and illegal.
When businesses do this with no money it is called " cooking the books" Also illegal.
When private and commercial banks do it it is legal, and when you continue to allow fraud to remain legalized it creates a lot of problems that can have nothing done against them.
In 1971 Nixon takes America off the gold standard system replaced with the FIAT system.
Fiat is Latin for let it be so by the way.
Only governments can make a Fiat currency. And only banks can create by lending. Central banks lend to investment banks , who lend to commercial banks, who lend to top corporations , who go to giant govt contractors, who then finally lend to borrowers.
It was in 1932 that the glass steagall act was passed to help oppose this. Yet in 1999 treasury's Secretary at the time Larry summers. As well as his predecessor Robert Rubin repealed this glass steagall act. Goldman Sachs uses money to buy influence in Congress to pass laws to make it easier to make money on wall street to buy more influence in Congress....one of the most influential investment banks of the world in Sept 2008, just about one month before the stock market crashed conveniently changed it's banking status from investment to commercial,this made it eligible for state protection. During the bailout Then congressman Hank Paulson more or less said. If you don't bail us banks out for letting this problem occur via these methods that were supposed to just the opposite. Every citizens bank account empties and they revolt. Do what you got to. Make it ,borrow it, whatever we need a 700 billion dollar bail out now. This is how along with Allen Greenspan's timely encouraging you get inflation and insurance causing subprime housing crises.
It was in ancient Greece that Pluto stated "It should never be more then six to one ratio in financial pay between the highest and lowest employee." It wasn't until 1923 that J.P Morgan said " it was actually more like 20:1 as optimal difference. (I'm sure him being a banker is just coincidence.) Now just 100 years later it is sometimes 500:1. Even 1000:1. When the income inequality, is in a ratio of 500 to 1, and it is been known to be 1000 to 1 but even 500 to 1. The whole concept of living may as well be between two different species. The difference in economy, ideals , or just the ways of living all together. The ranges of disparity is in entirely different brackets. One never seeing even the best of the worst of the other in any circumstances. There can be no sense of community's if there is no common ground on which to live next to one another. It takes good communities to raise good kids. The easy said an not implemented as easy as said I get that but none the less a fact for it Solution here. Is simply put help the most vulnerable after discovery of who that is and how to do so. Not to panic into a pandemic. Robbing kids of education. and. sanity via stupid ,pointless , unhelpful, horrible,amoung other description words that fits the means by which the children where treated. Just to parade them around like masked bandits is both as ironic as it is ignorant. And what the whole world was doing not so long ago. Teaching them in good schools without biases. Agendas pertaining only to the best possible responsibility there is. None Other then that of allowing the next generation to be the most capable, and competent. When the time comes to pass the torch. As no one can hold it up forever no matter how strong it must be inevitably be passed on. Whether from such crippling old age. The dead hands of the strongest wisest. Yet still to unwilling to let the task be trusted to others. As he does the job and he knows he will. To The most proud of moments. Knowing the one taking it from yourself. Is truly ready and able ,and likely to be a Better then yourself job well done, when they pass it. To every single possible variation in-between.
From the white end extreme to the black end extremes. The almost entirety of grades of grey. Forming the majority as it seeps from the tips of each of those. Until it finally forms the tiny, albiet bright and visible none the less for it , in fact far from it. Admist the sea of grey around it. You find shining all the brighter for it. Silver lining in the exact middle.
Human beings.
Right now. At this moment are acting to accelerate if not make it a certainty. The lives of our grandchildren will be worsening. More world wide famine disease and war. All creating more death . We all follow suit unquestionably due to the slavery of greed stemmed from this income inequalities. We do this even though we all love our grand kids. Truly then and only then will the systemic changes necessary for elimination of the evils allowing this way of life occur. The American declaration of independence states the following in it's article 11 but for those saying I take what I want out of context to suit my own ends...yes that is correct. I would encourage all to go when able and read the thing in it's entirety to see the context for themselves.
Now I'll leave off with some inspiration for all Americans from Americans.
--" All experience has shown that mankind is more disposed to suffer- Whilst evils are sufferable- then to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."-- American declaration of independence --"God made all men equal and gave them the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit to happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted amongst men deriving there just powers from the consent of governed. That when any form of government becomes destructive of these ends. It is the rights of the people,it is the duty, to alter or abolish it and institute new guards for there future security."--

Proof the govt tries to make money and does not care if you die is in the following. when the same people in private health care, who are the very ones always saying to go get a second opinion, want to allow only one in the public debate you have problems 1987 CDC knew how and who aids would most likely effect and harm. Instead of being helpful and precise a fear campaign was launched. " Aids will explode into the hetero sexual community." , So instead a lot of in reality not even needed but now clogging the lines for those who do from being tested, Was said on commercials to the public at large. Just like covid is not Russian roulette, and of course technically anything can kill anyone or anything else at any time, yea sure it's not wrong. That is the just the law of the universe and as such it applies at all times to all things regardless of gender , race economic status , or personal preference of the plethora of human enjoyments practiced throughout the ages. As of may 2021 according to the CDC 75% of covid deaths are 65 years or older in America. 98-99% of those are unvaccinated. So if if your 65 years old or older and not vaccinated don't go crowd surfing at a concert or you will probably be a goner. Problems including but not limited too.... Countless prescriptions labeled effective, safe , now giving out lawsuits for those who took them.

2023.03.30 21:19 tvchase THE GREATEST TRICK THE DEVIL EVER PULLED -- Part Five 1/2
āWrestling is linear. But these are not linear timesā¦ā Part One, Part Two,
Part Three, Part Four September 9, 2022 ā The Fallout from Brawl Out AEW is in crisis. Its champion and biggest star turned the world upside down three days prior. CM Punk is in exile, two titles are vacant, and three of the companyās founders have their futures in jeopardy. The landscape is pure chaos. Amidst that chaos, a villain strolls out to the stage with a big smile on his face.
MJF eats it all up⦠AEWās greatest heel may have become its greatest face in one night. The live audience is jubilant to see him and he reciprocates, diving into them just as CM Punk had done, hugging Taz at the broadcast desk, wearing the jersey of that cityās football team.
Joy reverberates in his words once he grabs the microphone:
"BUFFALO, NEW YORK! THE DEVIL IS BACK! Now listen up Buffalo, first things first... Who's excited to see MJF? āLord knows I am. Guys, I love Buffalo, New York, hell the greatest Quarterback of all time, Josh Allen is from Buffalo. Now, we're gonna get down to brass tacks a little bit here, okay? Last time you guys saw me I might've said some offensive stuff, I'm just being honestā¦
The fans strike up a loud chant: āYOU WERE RIGHTā
Now hear me out, hear me out, hear me out... Hold on g-- Seriously, I only have so much time allotted. Shut up. Please. Jesus. Alright listen... If there's one thing I know to be true, it's that right now you might think that we're in dark times, but we're not. What we need is leadership. And I can not think of one more person, more trustworthy than me! Now let me tell you a story: there was once a wise Jewish man, and his name started with a M. And when his people were meek and weak and they needed help, he split the sea wide open and he walked them straight to the promise land. Buffalo, I'm not telling you I'm Moses, that's ridiculous. I'M BETTER THAN MOSES! I'VE GOT TO WIN THAT WORLD TITLE BECAUSE MY NAME IS MAXWELL JACOB FRIEDMAN AND I'M BETTER THAN YOU...
āAND YOU KNOW IT!ā, the crowd finishes for him. āWild Thingā comes over the speakers and Jon Moxley walks through the crowd to the ring.
He stares down MJF then says: āYou are absolutely full of crap.ā
Crowd laughs a bit, but they also boo him some.
MJF:
"So let me get this straight, Jonathan. You think I'm not being sincere here in Buffalo, New York? In front of all these grotesque, poor, lard asses who have quite possibly the worst Football Team in the history of the United States of America? [MJF shedās the jersey and wipes his ass with it] ⦠Now Jon, I don't know if you're a little bit woozy considering you went to sleep on Sunday⦠[MJF mimes CM Punk's āGo To Sleepā pose]
But maybe you got a point. Maybe I don't care about AEW.... Maybe I don't care about these people... Maybe, just maybe I look at the World Title as nothing more than a bargaining chip that I can use for the bidding war of 2024. Maybe I take that title to a real Wrestling Company, WITH REAL FANS. And real wrestlers like my friend and hero 'The American Roller Coad-ster' Cody Rhodes. And ā I'M HOLDING THE MICROPHONE YOU BUMS! KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! And maybe, just maybe I get to work for a real boss, the only Khan in professional wrestling that's worth a damn; Jolly Old St. Nick. Because to quote the greatest wrestler of all time, and my personal hero, The Game: 'That is what's best for business.āā
Moxley:
"Dude. This is not the time, this is not the place, and I am in no mood. You need to leave this ring right now, or I will make you leave.
MJF stands toe-to-toe with Moxley before slithering out of the ring. Mox continues:
Hey, your theme music sucks by the way. Now Buffalo, New York. I am in no mood... I am pissed off. I am embarrassed. I am pissed off about a great many things. But none more so than the fact that I'm standing here without the AEW World Championship... The AEW World Championship represents passion for this sport! Passion for this business! It represents the passion of the guys and girls in the back, and the fans that fill the arenas and watch at home. Those three letters in the AEW World Championship, they represent heroes during a pandemic at a time where the world needed heroes. It represents the dream, the vision that we all had when we started this thing years ago, and we wanted to show the world just what wrestling could be. The AEW World Championship represents taking the dark and ugly side of this business and letting it die with another generation. The World Championship represents the freedom to be as great as you are willing to dare to be. The AEW World championship means being better than I was the day before. Even if it's just a little bit better. Even if nobody notices but me. That World Championship represents slaying demons. That World Championship represents EVERYTHING I LOVE ABOUT THIS BUSINESS!
But the fact remains: on Sunday, I lost. And that's on me, that's my fault. I made mistakes. I got pinned. That's on me. I missed the game winning shot. And I was supposed to be on vacation right now, like until about two days ago. But here's another chance to take another shot when the game's on the line. This Tournament of Champions is one hell of a shot. That's one hell of a big rock to push all the way to the top of the hill again. Chris Jericho, the greatest of all time. Bryan Danielson, the best pure wrestler to ever step foot into a ring, a better wrestler than I'll ever be. Darby Allin, Hangman Page, Sammy Guevara, three dudes all younger than me, faster than me, more naturally gifted than I could ever be. So yeah, that's a hell of a shot. But winners always want the ball when the game is on the line. The Ace always wants the ball. And I want the ball. So hell yeah, I'm gonna take the shot.
Cause this isn't just a time to win⦠This is a time to be a legend!
Moxley leaves to a furious ovation and has rallied the AEW fans back to reason and rationality. Itās only temporary though, and an unnerved mood persists. The message is delivered by Moxley, truly the Ace of the company⦠But it feels like it shouldāve come from someone else and perhaps that someone else would have been there to deliver it if he wasn't turned away. Better yet, the situation may have been avoided entirely.
But then again, maybe the whole damn thing was inevitable all along.
January 4, 2016 - Tokyo Following their tag win over CHAOS, Kenny Omega betrays and usurps the leader of Bullet Club, AJ Styles, at NJPW: New Yearās Dash.
"AJ Styles! My god, you can't be surprised, can you? You people, you can't be surprised. You at home you better not be surprised. You had this coming, AJ. We gave you the big matches, we gave you the big pay-per-views. We made you a star, we paid you like a star. While I struggled, while I starved, forcing myself to be a junior. Everybody called you a leader, everybody called you the boss. Well AJ, if you are the boss, I'm just gonna say it. You have now been fired.
The rest of the Bullet Club is initially in disagreement before coalescing around Kenny and ganging up on Styles. They leave with their former leader in a heap, but Kenny and the Young Bucks gather at ringside. The three of them return to the ring and continue the brutal assault on AJ Styles⦠They are still in the Bullet Club, but within that organization, henceforth they will be
The Elite. January 4, 2017 - Wrestle Kingdom 11 Having stormed through his first ever attempt in the tournament, Kenny Omega became the only gaijin to have ever won New Japanās G1 Tournament and earned the right to challenge for the companyās top prize at WK11.
That night in the Tokyo Dome, Omega and Okada created magic in one of the greatest matches in wrestling history. On the same show, Bullet Clubās newest member debuts:
Cody Rhodes. Frustrated with his position and his creative direction, Cody had requested and been granted his release from WWE the previous summer, Cody makes his way across the Pacific, sending shockwaves through the international wrestling landscape.
Despite this shot in the arm, Bullet Club is tested by the crushing defeat of its leader. Following his loss to Okada, Kenny steps away from wrestling to assess his future. When he returns after several weeks Cody had grown ambitious and plots in the background.
June 11, 2017 - Dominion In a rematch of their classic from the start of the year at Wrestle Kingdom 11, Kenny Omega attempts to avenge his defeat and claim the IWGP Heavyweight Championship from Kazuchika Okada. Earlier in the night, Cody had grabbed a headset and proclaimed he wanted to face Okada himself.
Omega and Okada push each other over the limit even harder than before. Omega is taking inhuman punishment yet refuses to give up. Eventually, Cody makes his way down to the ring and attempts to throw in the towel for Kenny, but the Bucks stop him.
The timekeeperās bell rings, marking it a 60-minute draw.
Afterward, the Elite debate whether it was a true act of mercy by Cody or a scheme for his personal goals
Cody storms Okadaās post-match press conference, where he mocks the champ, spits in his face, and challenges him for a title match.
May 16, 2017 - The Bet Dave Meltzer quote-tweets a question asking if anyone could sell 10,000 tickets to a non-WWE show in America, to which he replies, āNot anytime soon.ā
Cody takes note and responds:
āI'll take that bet Dave⦠put The Bucks & I on the card & 3-months to promoteā... Over the next year this grand dream between Cody and the Young Bucks will come to fruition.
July 1, 2017 - Returning the Favor Cody unsuccessfully challenges Okada for the IWGP championship. Kenny comes to ringside and wants to throw in the towel just as Cody had tried weeks earlier. After the match, the two of them nearly come to blows backstage and Cody flips a table.
August 2017 - G1 Climax Throughout the tournament, Bullet Club nears a boiling point. OG member Toma Tonga questions Omegaās leadership due to having his small inner circle of The Elite within the larger group. In the weeks and months to follow, Cody identifies Kota Ibushi as Kenny Omegaās weakest point and starts targeting him as a wedge to divide the Bullet Club and
create chaos wherein he can ascend to power. January 4, 2018 - Wrestle Kingdom 12 Looking to use a win over Ibushi as a flashpoint to take control of Bullet Club, Cody viciously mauls Kota in a singles match but canāt secure the victory. Frustrated that his plan failed, the next night at New Yearās Dash he launches a post-match assault on Ibushi. Cody and the rest of Bullet Club are wailing on Ibushi until Kenny rushes out to stop them⦠but the rest of Bullet Club canāt help feeling Kenny views his old tag partner as more important to him than they are. Codyās plan bears fruit as Kenny makes a massive unforced error: he invites āSwitchbladeā Jay White to join Bullet Club and be a shot in the arm for the faction, only for White to betray him immediately and join CHAOS.
January 7, 2018 - Being the Elite #87 Camera follows the Elite as they are tense and nervous preparing for Wrestle Kingdom a few days earlier. It jumps to the group after New Yearās Dash, all gathered at a tense dinner conversation. To break the tension, Matt proposes a new gimmick for the group:
āBTE IS DRUG FREEā... aka, Straight Edge⦠no one shoots it down, but theyāre not thrilled either, and Cody hides his beer underneath the table.
The effort to relieve things fails, however, and Cody blurs the line between kayfabe and shoot, shouting for the cameraman to put the camera down. Then we get a fly-on-the-wall glimpse at him charging Kenny with always āturning everything into a bitā, disregarding the group, and heatedly asking him if heās actually their leader before Kenny finally storms away from the table.
January 28, 2018 - Civil War Jay White scores a massive upset at New Beginning and takes the IWGP United States Championship from Kenny Omega. After the bell, Hangman confronts Jay White and seeks to challenge for the title, but Kenny stops him. The Bucks and Cody rush to the ring, and Cody accuses their leader of stepping on Hangmanās moment. A violent argument ensues with Kenny shoving Matt Jackson to the ground.
Once the Elite have left the ring and Kenny is alone, Cody seizes the opportunity and hits Kenny with a CrossRhodes, initiating the Bullet Club Civil War. The only thing saving Omega from a brutal attack that night is Ibushi, who runs off Cody and returns the favor for his old friend and partner, reuniting the Golden Lovers after years of separation. Regardless, Codyās plan is in full effect. Bullet Club is in disarray and if he is to take power, now is the opportunity.
In 944 days, Roman Reigns becomes world champion to begin his and the Bloodline's vice grip on WWE.
January 30, 2018 - Being The Elite #90 Cody, to the assembled Elite of Matt, Nick, Hangman, and Marty:
It isnāt my place, but youāve known that guy for over ten years. I donāt get it, Iām sorry. Yeah, heās a great wrestler, but leadership⦠Like I said, itās action not position! Thatās not acting like a leader! āOh, youāre my second, youāre my secondā... Who the F-CK are you seconds for? Nobody! The best tag team in the world! And Hangman, itās your moment! He⦠He ruined it.
Bullet Club is fine⦠Bullet Club is fine.
Kenny & Ibushi go to visit the Bucks in their hotel room,
Room 710⦠but we arenāt shown what happens next.
February 12, 2018 ā Being the Elite #92 Cody floats around reassuring everyone: āBullet Club is fine.ā All of the guys have pure depression on their faces, but Cody continually gasses them up, telling the Bucks theyāre ready for the jump to the heavyweight division and encouraging Marty to start up a Villain Club of his own. Later, Matt, Nick, and Marty are commiserating in a locker room prior to a Ring of Honor show when Hangman and Cody strut through the door.
Cody, smugly:
āWhew, look at that! Did you guys see [Hangman] kick the door down??ā
He thinks a couple of surprises might cheer them up. The first, some new merch that says āBullet Club is Fineā doesnāt do the trick, so he takes them for the second surprise: their new mascot, Bury the Drug-Free Bear. Using his best Sting voice, Cody introduces Bury as someone who will āshock the worldā only for him to āfall on his f-ckinā arseā like the Shockmaster did 25 years earlier.
Kenny tries to call Matt, but Cody sees the call coming through on the phone and declines it.
February 19, 2018 ā Being the Elite #93 Cody maneuvers the Bucks around the Melbourne airport to keep them from running into Kenny. While traveling, Cody further drives the Ibushi wedge between Matt and the absent Kenny and plays up that Kenny only views the Bucks as a junior tag team. Later, Cody takes the brothers out to the zoo and to the movie theater as we see Kenny emotionally watching
Casablanca on his phone.
The Bucks catch up with Tonga and the OGs backstage in a locker room where they try to make peace.
Matt:
āAlright guys, thanks for gathering here. Nick and I feel like thereās one important thing that we need to talk about⦠I think itās kind of obvious, right? Thereās a divide in the Bullet Club. Itās almost like thereās two entities all of a sudden. Itās like thereās Bullet Club BTE and Bullet Club OGs⦠Nick and I have been watching what youāve been doing in Japan⦠holding down the fort, representing the Bullet Club, making the name proud. But weāve been back at home in the US doing the same thing. There is no heat here. We love you guys. When we all say that catchphrase, when we say āBullet Club is for lifeā, we mean it. Itās not just a catchphrase, okay? Thereās no heat here. The only heat is between two individuals: Cody and Kenny.ā
Tonga:
āCody is right. Bullet Club is fine.ā
The two groups shake hands, then Cody enters the locker room, surprised to see everyone together:
āDid somebody call a meeting? I didnāt call a meetingā¦ā
In strolls Kenny.
Kenny: So there he is. The snake in the grass. Three-star savior. Hey Cody.
Cody: Did you see the sign outside? It says 'Bullet Club'.
Kenny: That's right, and I AM THE LEADER.
They start brawling and the others can barely keep them apart. Cody: Touch me and I'll sue! Touch me and I'll sue!!
Cody throws a chair that barely misses Kenny and the Bucks. Matt and Nick look at each other, devastated at whatās become of the group.
February 25, 2018 - Being the Elite #94 Matt Jackson is on a plane traveling between shows, doing the same thing as Kenny from the previous episode:
watching Casablanca.
For those who haven't seen it, the story at the heart of the film is a love triangle: cynical club owner Rick, his first love Ilsa, and her rebel husband Laszlo, enhanced by a background of espionage and war with the local police chief, Renault, at the crossroads of the entanglements.
Itās foreshadowing the story to come. In the film, Rick and Ilsa had a passionate love before the events on screen, but they split up and Ilsa then wound up with her now-husband Laszlo, a Czech rebel carrying vital documents for the resistance against Nazi Germany. Rick and Ilsa reunite and rekindle their romance until Rick ā knowing sheās better off with her husband ā convinces Ilsa to leave with Laszlo before local authorities catch them. Rick stays behind, killing the evil Major Strasser who was attempting to stop the married couple from escaping Casablanca.
Renault, who has been playing both sides (Germans and Resistance) up to this point, is touched by Rick's sacrifice. Other policemen arrive and see Strasser's dead body. Rather than identify Rick as the culprit, Renault instructs the cops to "round up the usual suspects"... And of course, that classic line provides the name of the film
The Usual Suspects, from which Punk, and MJF, and Don Callis have all quoted the final line:
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making you believe he doesn't exist." The Usual Suspects is a tale of a mysterious crime lord who manipulates and controls multiple criminals to achieve his ultimate goal and get away scot-free. It is tightly designed so that if you rewatch it knowing the ending, you realize and notice dozens of things you missed on the first viewing.
As
Casablanca ends, Rick says to Renault:
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship", implying that if they work together, they can get away with almost anythingā¦
This BTE episode ends with the group all in Japan. The Bucks approach Kenny and Ibushi to have a conversation, but Kenny doesnāt have time for them. Later that night at the event, Cody pulls the Bucks into a hallway and implores them to listen to the promo Kenny is cutting in the ring at that exact moment, where he declares the Golden Lovers the greatest tag team in the world. Cody pushes them to go handle it. The Young Bucks go to the ring while Cody flashes a devilish smile.
Matt:
From this day forward, my brother and I have decided to move up and compete in the heavyweight tag team division.
It puts them directly in opposition with the Lovers. Kenny and Ibushi confront them backstage, but the Bucks donāt take anything from him, saying theyāve always been there to support him but itās never been returned. All those times they were there to pick Kenny up off the mat, where was Ibushi?
March 5, 2018 - BTE #95 In Vegas, Matt and Nick are in the dressing room talking when Bury the Drug Free Bear enters and seems desperate to tell them something. Bury is about to remove the head to his costume when Hangman bursts in. He is angry with Matt for not helping him during his confrontation with Joey Ryan the week prior. Cody enters and asks Bury why he hasn't got his Bullet Club shirt on and pulls him away to get changed. Everyone looks confused and Matt wonders what the bear was trying to tell them.
Cody is in the production studio and calls Nick over to suggest that Matt is holding him back and that he should consider wrestling in singles matches, but Nick looks unconvinced. Later that night, Cody is in the ring celebrating with Brandi and Bury after his match. As Cody goes to hug Bury, the bear pushes him to the floor. Standing over a prone, confused Cody, Bury removes his costume head to reveal Kenny Omega ,who knocks out Cody with a knee strike as the fans go wild.
Cody is demented after the match:
āWhat a time. What a time to be involved in this great sport⦠Everybodyās eyes in this sport are fixed on New Orleans, on Supercard of Honor⦠my very first encounter with Kenny Omega. So wouldnāt that be enough? As a professional⦠that feather in your cap, that everybody is talking about your match, that everybody wants to see your match, that you have stolen the [Wrestlemania] weekend from the rich and you have given it to the poor⦠wouldnāt that be enough?
So why the⦠escalation? Why come to Las Vegas? ⦠Youāre supposed to be the best wrestler in the world! A hero! Youāve got a bag full of them [match rating] stars, well I have a book full of dates, full of cities, full of towns, because Iām not a hero once a month! Iām a hero every single night!
Perception is no longer reality. Reality is reality.
And the reality is that I am the leader of the Bullet Club⦠that I am the hero in this story.ā
March 20, 2018 ā BTE #97 Just like he did with Nick previously, Cody sequesters Matt and says his brother has been holding him back and he needs a singles push.
In Japan, Kenny records a message to the Young Bucks apologizing, saying how
Cody has gotten into everyoneās heads and divided the group, and hopes to make amends⦠Unbeknownst to him, Cody has Nickās laptop so he intercepts the message and edits it down to an insulting challenge. Matt is enraged, but Nick is suspicious.
March 25, 2018 ā The Elite Fight It Out In Los Angeles at NJPW: Strong Style Evolved, the Golden Lovers face the Young Bucks in a deeply personal grudge match. After a brutal, back-and-forth war where the Lovers emerge victorious, Kenny attempts to bury the hatchet. Nick accepts the olive branch, but Matt refuses to shake Kennyās hand. Cody hits the ring and berates Matt for eating the pin during the match. When Nick intervenes, Cody spins around and shoves him to the ground.
Later in the locker room, Cody comes in to ask what happened out there. The Bucks are challenging him for his actions, but Cody shouts them down, saying he thought it was Kenny in the ring and that he would never do such a thing to them. Cody apologizes profusely and leaves.
Nick:
āI donāt think we can trust this guy.ā
April 7, 2018 ā Supercard of Honor XII With the leadership of Bullet Club at stake, Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes square off in a hard-hitting match. Having grown wary of Cody and his schemes, the Bucks come down to the ring and decide to attack Cody. They launch double superkicks⦠but Cody ducks and the kicks land on Omega, allowing Cody to hit his finisher and claim the win. Matt and Nick attempt to explain, but Kenny refuses to listen.
In the backstage area, Cody is ecstatic at wresting control of Bullet Club away from Kenny. He wants to celebrate, but the Elite leave the dressing room and leave
Cody sitting alone in his ring gear, sweaty, bloody, with a black eye and a gym towel draped around his shoulders, looking starkly similar to another guy post-match four years later⦠June 4, 2018 ā BTE #105 After a busy summer in which Cody and the Bucks have assembled the looming All In event, Matt and Nick try establishing lines of communication with Kenny in Japan. Ibushi implores him to reconcile with his old friends but heās reluctant. Cody is obsessed with running a Senate election campaign in Texas and practices his speeches in bathroom mirrors, but it almost sounds like heās talking to his stablemates. Meanwhile, a package that Matt and Nick sent him weeks ago has been collecting dust the whole time. Ahead of his fourth match with Kazuchika Okada, Kenny decides to open the packageā¦
June 9, 2018 ā Omega vs Okada IV Everyone is in Japan for the big Dominion show. Hangman approaches Cody and asks what the plan is for tonight. Cody looks sullen and calls off whatever he had been plotting to ruin Omegaās big night.
Kenny triumphs in possibly the greatest match in wrestling history, claiming the IWGP heavyweight championship. He reunites with the Young Bucks afterward, and itās revealed that in the package are Golden Elite shirts,
honoring the pact they made in Hotel Room 710 at the start of the year.
Cody approaches the locker room with congratulatory gifts for Kenny and to make peace, but he stops short and leaves them outside the door.
July 7, 2018 ā Debts Are Settled in San Francisco At the G1 Special NJPW show, Cody challenges Omega for the IWGP championship. After a war with Kenny emerging in triumph, the Elite gather and celebrate⦠until the Bullet Club OGs attack them in retribution for the dysfunction and strife theyāve brought to the group over the previous two years. Cody returns to the ring and is given a chance to brutalize Kenny, but instead he defends him and rejoins the Elite in full.
Over the coming months, Cody, Kenny, Matt, Nick and Hangman solidify themselves as a core group leading up to:
September 1, 2018 - All In By far the greatest triumph in indie wrestling history, the show was a massive success both at live gate and on PPV, wildly exceeding all expectations.
In its main event, Cody wins the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, the same world title his father had claimed 31 years earlier. After this monumental night, the Elite ceded the war for control of Bullet Club to the OGs and stepped away from the group, turning their attention to the establishment of something new entirely: All Elite Wrestling. This new national promotion came into being on
January 1, 2019, and at its forefront was the core group of five. As the inaugural and omnipresent face of the company, Codyās claim to AEW gold is surely just a matter of time.
May 25, 2019 -- Double or Nothing AEW holds its first event ever.
In 944 days, on the Christmas episode of Rampage, Cody claims his final championship in AEW.
August 31, 2019 -- All Out As the clock strikes midnight, Chris Jericho pins Hangman Adam Page to become the first AEW World Champion.
In 944 days, Cody Rhodes rises onto the WrestleMania stage and returns to WWE.
November 6, 2019 Allied with his friend, protege, and personal recruit to AEW, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, the public face of AEW prepares to challenge for the world championship of the company he helped build. He seems destined for it, itās damn near his birthright, and yet there are whispers heās only in position to claim it through politics.
Cody:
āEddie Graham... Cowboy Bill Watts... The American Dream Dusty Rhodes... For the cold and sterile historians of our business, there's an air of controversy that surrounds them, it's from the simple fact that those men were also, in addition to being competitors... they were management. Not unlike myself. And for the last year I've told everybody: every podcast, every radio, every correspondent. I've shouted it off the rooftops how proud I am of AEW, how proud I am of the all-inclusive nature, of the schedule, of the pay, of the fact that we will listen. This! This is Ellis Island for a professional wrestler! This is freedom! So, when I hear the same criticism attached to my name for being management and being in a title match⦠I can't not hear it... And with that said, I am announcing that if I do not defeat Chris Jericho at Full Gear... I will never challenge for the AEW World championship again.ā
And so Cody faced Chris Jericho at Full Gear 2019 with destiny in his grasp. There, with MJF in his corner, Cody and Jericho pushed each other to their limits. Late in the match with the challenger locked tight in the Walls of Jericho, MJF throws in the towel for Cody and costs him the match, effectively locking him out of the title picture thereafter.
MJFās ascension begins. He wins the Dynamite Diamond Ring and begins climbing the rankings. Winning isnāt simply enough, though. If he wants everything, he needs chaos. He needs to flip the world upside down. He needs the world to believe its heroes are the villains and its villains are the heroes.
November 14, 2019 MJF:
You wanna boo me as if Iām the villain⦠Meanwhile, you people have been cheering for the real villain the whole time. That villain is Cody⦠Cody Rhodes couldnāt give less of a shit about any single one of you⦠You sheep donāt want to admit it. Thereās only one man on this planet who knows the real Cody Rhodes, and youāre looking at him.
December 11, 2019 MJF:
"What are you gonna do Cody? Are you gonna try to fire me? Are you gonna pull Tony Khan over to the side and get me fired? Well how bout you do that Cody. HOW BOUT YOU FIRE ME. Oh wait. That's right. You won't. Because the one thing you want most in this world is to get your hands on me... And to top that off, you'd be letting down each and every one of these people you claim to care about.ā
February 29, 2020 ā Revolution After weeks of taunting and weeks of enduring the original gauntlet of trials MJF sets in order to get a match with him, Cody gets his match with MJF⦠but he falls short, defeated and humiliated by the young man he brought into AEW himself.
March 5, 2020 ā Cody is bitten by the original Snake Jake Roberts emerges from the thickest of weeds and slithers down to the ring. He nearly devours Cody. He mocks himā¦
āHail Caesarā. He neither fears nor respects him.
āWhat a Snake wants, a snake takes. Iām not in AEW for the whole pie.. Just your sliceā
Two weeks later the world screeches to a halt as an unknown, lethal virus spreads rapidly around the globe. For several weeks Dynamite is patchwork, assembled from whatever talent is available. A tournament for a new title belt is announced. Ahead of its opening round we get the darkest promo weāve thus far seen from the purest babyface in the companyās short historyā¦
April 8, 2020 Cody sits ominously at a table, in a pitch black room, and lights a cigar⦠just as heād done before when laying out his machinations against Kenny Omega for control of Bullet Club.
Cody:
"Why do I wanna be TNT Champion? Wrestling is so linear you're gonna hear the same answer to that question over and over again. You'll even hear the announcers strike some of the same hyperboles as they describe the stakes. The wrestlers will give you that real wrestling school, paint by numbers interview where they say things like --- you see: āThe boys in the back.' Or my favorite: They perpetually say their own name or the person they're wrestling against or the person who's interviewing them over and over again. Like I said, wrestling is linear. They might even do the ā [Cody gestures around his waist where a belt would be worn] - that thing. You see, where you pantomime, where you indicate that you want the belt. I've done it a thousand times. We've all done it, we're all guilty. Wrestling is linear. But these are not linear times, are they? I think we'd all give our last dollar for a little bit of normalcy, a little bit of linear. It's my personal hope that we get through this just fine. We wanna live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery, right?
So why do I need to become champion? It is not the fame. It's certainly not the added money. It's not the specialized lower third that they put on the screen. It's not even my specific, unique circumstance of trying to carry a last name that is worth 58 years in gold. It's much simpler. It's because I don't wanna lose. AEW has four major pay per views: Double Or Nothing, All Out, Full Gear, Revolution and I'm 50/50 and I have felt lost and I don't ever want to lose againā¦The motto, the expression, what the Nightmare Family means, it's sitting at the side of my neck is when we say: DO THE WORK! It's not: Do the work and lose.
And this tournament is flush, it's rich in talent. Take Colt Cabana. Probably the second most experienced guy in the tournament. Does a better flip, flop and fly than me, Dustin and Bully combined. Ask anybody in any locker room the world over ā they'll tell you they love Colt Cabana. Well frankly: I do not trust a wrestler that doesn't have any enemies.
Kip Sabian⦠and that hellfire fiance of his⦠What happens when those two cohabitate? Theyāre either gonna motivate themselves upwards or they're gonna drag themselves down to Complacency City, right next to ĀJobber Avenue.
Darby⦠I feel like I handpicked Darby. He's clearly the fastest rising star in all of wrestling in any company, hands down. He's putting on weight by the day, he's assassin quick. But Darby is a freshman on the varsity squad. I don't think he has the mental aptitude to finish this tournament.
My oldest friend⦠Shawn Spears. My former tag team partner, kind of my Dick Murdoch. Could be a world champion pretty much anywhere he wanted to be. But Shawn Spears is ĀKing Boo-Boo Face and he will mentally defeat himself before we ever even lock upā¦
Every one of those guys, they want to be TNT Champion. The difference with me: I NEED IT!
It was an outright heel promo, preceding his entry into the tournament which he ultimately won, facing Jake Robertsā client ā Lance Archer ā in the finals. Cody is the conquering hero he always aspires to be, and he rattles off five straight title defenses in five weeks. Someoneās not very impressed, however.
July 7, 2020 Cody stands with Arn in the ring, congratulating himself on the recent string of victories against⦠letās say, less than impressive competition.
Onto the stage charges Eddie Kingston, whoās heard enough:
"No, no, no, we're gonna get this right, we're gonna do this real quick. Cody, you talk about grinding, you talk about living this rough life, all that jazz. No one's gonna 'out-grind' you, all that stuff. My man, it's easy to say that when you grew up around used-to-be legends like Arn Anderson. Yeah, you heard me. Keep shooting murder-ones at me and I'll knock your jaw right off your face, partner. You know what I grew up around? You know what I grew up around? Alcoholics! Junkies! I GREW UP AROUND THAT... AND I HAD TO SURVIVE. I HAD TO GRIND. You couldn't last a day in my shoes, so you don't tell me nothing about grinding. You talk about the sport of pro-wrestling... that's a joke. Because every person you faced has been a child. I am a grown-ass man and I will put you in the ground and smile.
But here's the best part about this whole thing: the guy that you like to mention because you like to be best friends with the boss, Tony Khan⦠He paid me to show up. And now he's going to pay me to kick your ass and take that championship. Oh yeah, you wanna go? Arn, I swear on my beautiful mother's life, if you don't shut up, I'm gouging your eye out. All right? Let me speak! It's my time now. Real easy, relax, you've had yours. Tony Khan said to me, āĀYou know what, King? If you want No DQ, man, that's fine by me.. just.. you know.. Cody has to accept.' You have to accept, cause either you're an egg-sucking dog or you're an egg-sucking bitch."
Infuriated that he would be upstaged like this, Cody accepts on the spot. He survives an incredibly violent match and continues on with his title reign.
August 13, 2020 Mr. Brodie Lee whips Codyās ass. In just over three minutes, itās done and his beloved championship is gone. The Exalted One and The Dark Order put a massive beatdown on Cody and heās carried out on a stretcher⦠Then they continue attacking him on the stretcher.
Cody disappears for weeks.
September 23, 2020 Brodie spends over a month terrorizing anyone even remotely close to Cody, but he still doesnāt come back until after Brodie beats down Orange Cassidy in a title defense. Itās a surprise attack, which incenses The Exalted One.
Brodie:
"You gotta be kidding me! The audacity of a man, the audacity of you Cody to return like that! You have been gone for five weeks while Iāve been here doing the work, being undeniable! Oh my God, the audacity of you Cody. What kind of man sends another man to do his work? Did you see what I did to Dustin? Did you see what Anna Jay did to Brandi? What kind of man Cody, what kind of man lets his wife post Instagram thirst traps while calling me daddy? What kind of man stays away in a little bubble? A man like you, Cody. But YOU are no man! YOU are a coward!
Mr. Brodie Lee grabs a pair of dog collars and looks into the camera.
Cody, you can run on for a long time, but sooner or later Brodie Lee is gonna cut you down! And I am gonna take this dog collar, Cody, I am gonna wrap it around your neck, I am gonna wrap it around that God-forsaken tattoo! And you, Cody, will have nowhere, nowhere to run and nowhere to hide! You, Cody... You have one week to answer me: Are you a man... Or are you a coward?!"
Two weeks later, Cody reclaims his championship in the first dog collar match in AEW history. He would hold it for only a month until one of the Four Pillars pries it away from him, beginning Darby Allinās ascension to the main event scene... And sending Cody spiraling into the Codyverse of excess and absurdity.
February 17, 2021 - āItās a girl!ā Despite a litany of viral media and news segments addressing how excessive and even dangerous pregnancy gender reveals are⦠Cody and Brandi have theirs live on Dynamite, with full entrance and theme, as well as what still to this day is among the largest pyro displays in the history of AEW. Itās shockingly tone-deaf.
May 12, 2021 ā The worst promo in AEW history Just before the one year anniversary of the George Floyd murder that rattled America and stirred racial dialogue in a manner unseen for decadesā¦
Cody addresses Anthony Ogogo and delivers an all-time terrible promo. I'm not even gonna transcribe it here, it's the most pandering cringe ever.
Here's a link if you absolutely need to see it... When AEW returns to touring, all the cheering and adulation Cody was accustomed to at AEW's beginning is gone. His goodwill has completely evaporated. Theyāre tired of his phony, self-fellating act and want something different.
July 7, 2021 Still nursing a vicious eye injury incurred at the hands of Kevin Owens on WWE programming the previous October, Malakai Black posts on Instagram a video of him in a mental institution where he's been locked up for 5 years, coincidentally the same length of time he was in his old company... He viciously attacks and kills the doctors and staff.
Walking out, he says

2023.03.30 21:04 AceArguments Long List of Lies Told in History About Women
Women Are Bad Drivers! In the 1910s, the prices of cars started to come down, and many men went off to fight in World War I. This left women as the primary drivers at the home front. This need for society to keep puttering along without many men created more female drivers.
The idea that women were bad drivers was very much rooted in class and wealth. However, the stereotype didnāt really gain traction until the 1920s, when middle class American women started to have access to automobiles. Up until that point it was only a wealthy handful (whether male or female) who could afford such a luxury like a car.
More women started gaining access to cars and driving in the 1920s. This was when the dropping price of vehicles allowed more middle-class women to gain access to driving. As said before the 1920s, only the wealthy could dream of owning and driving a car.
Once the numbers of middle-class women grew, the threat to the status quo of society grew as well. Women were gaining freedom and access to new areas of society, and some didnāt like the changes.
Painting women as bad drivers was an attempt to keep them in their place. For this reason, the negative stereotype of women drivers is very much rooted in class and wealth.
As long as motoring was limited to wealthy urban women, there was little criticism of their ability as drivers. These were women of the high social and economic station, who made a vocation of leisure-time pursuits,ā reports Smithsonian Magazine, āIf they chose to spend their time motoring around the city rather than at home giving teas few would criticize. Such changes posed little or no threat to the established social order, and hence there was no need for a negative stereotype.ā
Women Are Delusional and Hysterical! For centuries, doctors readily diagnosed women with āhysteria,ā an alleged mental health condition that explained away any behaviours or symptoms that made menā¦uncomfortable.
A fondness of writing, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder or depression, and even infertility ā for the best part of two centuries, all of these and more could easily fall under the umbrella of āfemale hysteria.ā
Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, female hysteria was one of the most commonly diagnosed ādisorders.ā But the mistaken notion that women are somehow predisposed to mental and behavioral conditions is much older than that.
In fact, the term hysteria originated in Ancient Greece. Hippocrates and Plato spoke of the womb, hystera, which they said tended to wander around the female body, causing an array of physical and mental conditions. - Medical News Today
In a
treatise published in 1770ā1773, another French physician, FranƧois Boissier de Sauvages de Lacroix, describes hysteria as something akin to emotional instability, āsubject to sudden changes with great sensibility of the soul. De Sauvages agreed with his predecessors that this condition primarily affected women, and that āmen are only rarely hysterical.ā
One means of ātreatingā instances of hysteria was through
mesmerism, an alleged psychosomatic therapy popularized by Franz Anton Mesmer, a German doctor who was active in 18th-century Europe. Mesmer believed that living beings were influenced by magnetism, an invisible current that ran through animals and humans, and whose imbalances or fluctuations could lead to health disruptions.
Another means of treating hysteria and other female associated illnesses was lobotomies. The most lobotomized patients were women, although most institutionalized patients at the time were men. This gaping disparity, noted by scholars, is made more troubling by the general silence surrounding it today. Yet the disparity has been in plain view from the start. Five of the six patients in the case study by Freeman and Watts were women whose symptoms ā apprehension, insomnia ā seem incommensurate with their treatment, but whose status as women sanctioned it. A patient previously fearful of aging could now āgrow old gracefullyā and care for her home. She complained of a lack of spontaneity, but her husband praised the changes her surgery had wrought, declaring her āmore normal than she had ever been,ā possibly the least credible measure of therapeutic success in the annals of history. By 1942, 75% of the lobotomies Freeman and Watts had performed were on women.

History If Women Stopped Working, Nothing in the World Would Change! Women Don't do the Hard Labour Because They Don't Want to! During WWII women worked in factories producing munitions, building ships, aeroplanes, in the auxiliary services as air-raid wardens, fire officers and evacuation officers, as drivers of fire engines, trains and trams, as conductors and as nurses. During this period some trade unions serving traditionally male occupations like engineering began to admit women members.
The entry of women into occupations which were regarded as highly skilled and as male preserves, for example as drivers of fire engines, trains and trams and in the engineering, metal and shipbuilding industries, renewed debates about
equal pay. The trade unions were once again concerned about the impact on menās wages after the war when men would once again be working in these jobs. But the governmentās priority was the recruitment of workers to service industries and the war effort. Some limited agreement on equal pay was reached that allowed equal pay for women where they performed the same job as men had āwithout assistance or supervision'. Most employers managed to circumvent the issue of equal pay, and womenās pay remained on average 53% of the pay of the men they replaced. Semi-skilled and unskilled jobs were designated as āwomenās jobsā and were exempt from equal pay negotiations.
At the warās end, even though a majority of women surveyed reported wanted to keep their jobs, many were forced out by men returning home and by the downturn in demand for war materials.
Women were now being fired or demoted in the same untraditional fields and trade industries they had been excelling. Men returning from the war were rehired into their previous positions, despite the great success of women.
Women today make up
43% of global agricultural labour,
37% of international document over the table manufacturing jobs,
8-17% of documented mining sector, with the highest employment of women working in garment factories making up
80%of the international workforce.
Women Are Crazy and Emotional!!!!! With the rise of
phrenology in the 19th century, dualist gender metaphors were reinforced. Consequently, the female stereotype was based on affection, sensitivity, sweetness, and self-sacrifice. On the other hand, the masculine role revolved around logic and intellectual capacity. Therefore, it justified that women who wanted admittance to any non-domestic environment were on the verge of madness.
Other pioneers of psychology, such as Freud and Watson, viewed women as mentally inferior people. They relegated them to the domestic sphere. Moreover, various mental health treatises linked the female reproductive system with the nervous system and mental health problems.
The so-called āwandering wombā theory from the Ancient Greeks justified that women suffered mental health problems due to their sexual repression. Based on this argument, many psychological treatments focused on the prescription of marital intercourse, genital massages performed by psychiatrists, and the removal of sexual organs.
The other solution for female madness was admission to an asylum or psychiatric ward forced upon women by their husbands who didn't want to deal with them. There was no need to have evidence of craziness, the husband could just admit her at his will.
This association between women and insanity or excessive emotion has never had any valid biological bases, however ("There are very inconsistent findings in the literature on relationships between women's menstrual cycles and mood," a gender and emotions scholar named Leslie Brody, PhD, told
Refinery29. Instead, the motivation is political. It has to do with powerāwith who gets a voice. It is no coincidence that the height of hysteria diagnoses in America occurred in the late 1850s, the very same time the women's rights movement started picking up speed. "
Women demanding equality was a pesky problem, and hysteria was a brilliant answer," therapist and author Amber Madison wrote in 2014. "Hysteria asked, 'Don't those high-maintenance females see they're too irrational to do things like own property, control finances, get a college degree, or cast a vote?' It framed female emotional instability as biological 'fact.'
Modern Women are Crazy Cat Ladies! In ancient times, cats and feminine deities went hand in hand. Egyptās half-cat, half-woman
Bastet was the goddess of domesticity, childbirth and āwomenās secrets.ā Chinese cat goddess
Li Shou was a symbol of fertility. And in Norse mythology, Freya, the goddess of beauty and strength, rode a chariot led by cats.
Everything was going pretty swimmingly for cat ladies then, until the Roman Catholic Church showed up in the Middle Ages. In an effort to rid the world of non-Christian gods, deities other than the Holy Trinity were stigmatized and rebranded as evil. Worse, cats garnered a reputation for being minions of Satan.
By the time England executed its first witch in 1566 (a 63-year-old by the name of
Agnes Waterhouse), the fact that she reportedly had a murderous, blood-drinking cat named Satan seemed totally plausible for many who heard about her case. A century later, demonic, power-hungry cats remained a
major theme of the Salem witch trials.
In the early 18th century, as the witch trials were widely recognized as a grave miscarriage of justice, single women with cats were suddenly transformed in the public eye from frightening fiends to figures to be pitied. Unfortunately, because single women of the time were so often viewed as a nuisanceāwithout access to jobs, unmarried women had to rely on the kindness of relatives for financial supportāthe cat lady became a figure of ridicule. And as resentments towards these women grew, so did the popularity of the stereotype.
The stereotype, of course, stuck around. And by the Victorian era, the close relationship between single women and cats was accepted as an inevitable social norm.
Women are Mentally Inferior! We've been looking at this whole issue of whether male brains are different from female brains for about 200 years.
One of the oldest claims centres on the fact that women have smaller brains, which was considered evidence for intellectual inferiority. While itās true that, on average, womenās brains are smaller, by about 10%, there are several problems with this assumption.
āFirst of all, if you just thought it was a āsize mattersā issue, then sperm whales and elephants have got bigger brains than men, and they're not renowned for being that much brighter,ā says Rippon. Then thereās the fact that, despite the average difference in size, the
overall overlap in the distributions of men and womenās brains is huge. āSo that you get women with big brains and men with small brains.ā
Itās worth noting that
Einsteinās brain was smaller than that of the average male, and overall, many studies find that there is next to no
mean difference between men and womenās intelligence or
behavioural traits. Yet the claims continue to persist in the media.
Menās more efficient callosal filtering mechanism explained the mathematical and scientific genius⦠their right to be captains of industry, [their ability to] win Nobel Prizes and so on and so on.ā
But such claims are often based on just a small number of participants, she says ā and the techniques to measure the āsizeā of any region are still rather crude and open to interpretation, meaning that even the existence of such brain differences is on very shaky foundations. (And of course, the idea of the āleftā and āright" brain is itself something of a myth.) Despite decades of research, it has been very difficult to
reliably identify significant āhardwiredā differences in the structure of the male and female brain.
The concept of premenstrual syndrome, for instance, first emerged in the 1930s. āAnd it became well established as a reason for women not being given positions of power.ā As she points out,
women were even initially barred from the US space programme due to concerns around having such ātemperamental psycho-physiologic humansā on board the craft.
One major breakthrough in recent years has been the realisation that, even in adulthood,
our brains are continually being changed, not just by the education we receive, but also by the jobs we do, the hobbies we have, the sports we play. The brain of a working London taxi driver will be different from that of a trainee and from that of a retired taxi driver; we can track differences among people who play videogames or are learning origami or to play the violin. Supposing these brain-changing experiences are different for different people, or groups of people? If, for example, being male means that you have much greater experience of constructing things or manipulating complex 3D representations (such as playing with Lego), it is very likely that this will be shown in your brain. Brains reflect the lives they have lived, not just the sex of their owners.
Women aren't Human! Well stop fucking another species then...

Galactic Social Dynamic: A funny thing happened on the way home from Cith... (GSD #86) --:
Two days into the return trip to Alliance Headquarters.
Dullin Sector. :--
Shoal, Gleve and Van were sitting in Shoal's private cabin on their way back from the Ancin Clan's holdings. The three were currently enjoying a brief game of the Phodian classic
sa. It was a card game played around helping others find their matching cards while keeping your own.
"I need a mountain." Shoal eyed Van.
"Go fish." Van smirked.
Shoal grumbled and drew a card. Once he saw it he smirked devilishly.
"I still love the fact that both our species came up with this game!" Gleve smiled, not noticing Shoal's grin. "I need a mill."
Vanput the card on the table in front of Gleve. "I still can't believe that changing the images makes it fun again."
"It's a perspective trick. Your brain knows its basically the same, but new shiny packaging makes it fun." Shoal chuckled. "Dad used to tell me he could get me the same calculator every year..."
"Gonna visit him more, I take it?" Van asked. "I need a predator."
Shoal nodded, "I thought I'd have more time." And put down a predator card.
Gleve nodded, "It will be worth it."
"Just be glad the tests showed you as negative for the trait " Van said.
"And Giio and Sekaz are positive." Shoal sighed. "Can't be an engineer forever I guess."
Van blinked and stared in shock.
"You mean you would take over?" Gleve clarified.
Shoal nodded. "If they both got it early, yeah. I need clan mates."
Gleve's cheeks puffed as he put three clan mates on the table.
"Knew it." Shoal chuckled as he picked up the cards.
Van sighed. "Brace yourselves."
Shoal sighed as he flew across the room and skidded into a wall. He sat for a moment as nothing else happened.
"Did we hit someone?" Gleve asked.
"Alert went out over devices. Debris came out of a hyper jump." Van stood and checked his weapons. "Mix of Scareek and human."
Shoal stood up. "We'll join you."
Gleve nodded. "You shouldn't go alone."
Van nodded. "I'll inform the Captain of the ship."
-(GSD)---(GSD)-
Two hours later the three were on a shuttle docking with a large chunk of a human military vessel.
"Band code says this is EIN Nimitz." Shoal read it off. "Damn, she was a beauty too."
Van remained silent as he activated his mag boots and walked in. As soon as his boots made contact his systems alerted him to a remaining life pod with life signs. The cyborg moved without hesitation. Shoal and Gleve followed.
"It's jammed." Shoal said as he came up on the pod. "Life support has been off for a day or two, oxygen has to be low."
"We can spring it free like billiards ball." Gleve said.
Van looked over at Gleve. "Though you were the animal guy?"
"Billiards are fun. So is pool. Physics applied to a game." Gleve smiled through his visor.
"That's Gleve for you. As Phodian as he is, give him math and angles and he is happier than me with a new wrench." Shoal snorted. "He's right though."
The two then noticed that Van was locked on looking into the viewing window. Shoal motioned for Gleve to help him look in and Shoal gasped.
"Gleve, get the lead out. That's a human kit!" Shoal scrambled down as fast as zero gravity would let him.
Gleve grabbed his friend and put him on the ground safely. "Calm down first. This is pure vacuum."
Shoal stopped and nodded. He pulled up his suit cons, "
Feoto, this is volunteer away team 5. We have a survivor in a jammed life pod. Human youngling."
"Team 5, get the youngling if you can without risking yourselves." The flat tone of a bridge officer responded.
Shoal responded with, "I dunno, I was thinking about swimming in vacuum. Get med teams ready." He then cut the com.
"You okay Van?" Gleve asked
"She has maybe two hours left." Van said, "How fast to unjam and return it?"
"Three hours at best." Gleve said with a defeated sigh.
Van nodded. "I hate vacuum exposure."
He then plunged his hand through the glass where a gray metallic film sealed the damage. Then his suit slowly began to break down and turn into a similar film.
"Van?" Shoal shouted as the connection to the suit dropped.
Shoal and Gleve watched in horror as Van's body reacted to the exposure of space. Then there was a message on their coms.
"Get her out. Nanites are making a bubble around her and connecting her to my air supply. Bring us both back, nanites will do the work for me."
Shoal stared in horror. He had known the codename of "Immortal" was very literal when applied to Van, but this was something his brain was simply refusing to process.
Gleve however was right at work. He understood the brief and painful sacrifice Van had made. Van was protecting the extended herd and Gleve would do as he was asked.
"Shoal, I need your help." Gleve said with a grunt.
Shoal shook his head and focused on the task. "The door isn't jammed. We need power."
"I have an idea then" Gleve smiled and pulled a section off the wall, then he took a flashlight off of Van's belt.
"Good idea." Shoal handed off his flashlight. "The place still has some power, there must be a generator nearby." Shoal pointed to running lights on the floor.
Gleve shook his head. "Humans make those self powered."
Shoal nodded then stopped. "Oh I'm gonna regret this." He pulled out a multi-purpose tool and used it to cut out part of the floor.
"Shoal!" Gleve hissed.
"Gleve, you were partly right. They got their own batteries." Shoal smirked as he reached in and began to pull up wires. "Repurpose these for yours, I'll get these ones."
Gleve blinked and nodded, once again reminded why his friend was a Chief Engineer.
"Gleve. Do me a favor." Shoal said.
"What?" Gleve asked.
"Get all of us back." Shoal said as he handed a wire to Gleve. "I have to tie these off live."
Gleve nodded and understood. Shoal would likely be unconscious in the hours after this risk. Gleve steeled himself for the work ahead as he secured the wires properly into the life pod controls
Shoal then practically dove into the hole he had made, half his body sticking out. Then there was a flicker and everything came to life in the pod.
Gleve moved and opened the door in one swift movement the door unsealed and Van's arm was released as his hand held a thin metallic hose. Gleve scrambled past it and grabbed the soft orb structure that held the human youngling, then shifted his spine and strapped the strange container to his shell.
From there he moved to Shoal and gently moved his body out of the hole. His life signs were still strong on the readouts of the external parts of the suit, but the com connection was destroyed. Still, Gleve picked up his friend and secured him to his torso.
Finally he grabbed Van's currently incapacitated form and pulled it along back to their shuttle. There he put Shoal on a medical table and sat Van down. With the orb his nanites had made off to the side. Then he re-engaged the artificial gravity and began to pilot the shuttle back.
It was silent for twenty minutes.
"Ahhh!" Van's shout nearly caused Gleve to veer into debris on their return.
"You look terrible." Gleve said as Van spent a few minutes recovering.
"Feel like a spring daisy." Van said as he pulled out a small blade and gently cut into the orb.
"Is she okay?" Gleve asked with concern.
Van nodded as he lifted her and went to put her on the medical table where he saw Shoal. "Right, that's what knocked me out."
"You were conscious until then?" Gleve asked in horror.
Van nodded as he walked over while carrying the girl. He sat down and sighed as he brushed the strings of black hair out of the girl's face.
"Not a pleasant thing to experience." Van said simply. "Did not expect to be electrocuted though."
"He will be fine. He has..." Gleve grunted in annoyance, "Experience with this tactic."
Van laughed. "Sounds about right. Let's get back, yeah?"
Gleve nodded.
-(GSD)---(GSD)-
Shoal woke up later, he wasn't sure how much later, but he was sure others were around him.
"Go fish!" Another human voice said, it was younger and female.
Shoal groaned as he lifted himself up.
"You're up." Van smiled from a table at the base of Shoal's infirmary bed.
Gleve was smiling with him as well. There was also a young human girl with jet black hair.
"Were there others?" Shoal asked.
"Not in the field, but shuttles went into hyper to search. We found four more filled with survivors from a civilian attack." Van sighed. "Nimitz' crew refused to take life pods so they could." There was a clear haunted look in Van's eyes, but Shoal watched him shake it off for now.
"Mama and papa didn't make it either." The girl sniffled.
"I'm Shoal." Shoal scooted forward and held out his hand.
"Jessica Alden" The girl smiled. "You're a Civeet!"
Shoal smiled. "I am. I assume my friend introduced themselves."
Jessica nodded.
"We're taking them back. Getting a favor from Emma for Jessica here." Van said as he tossed down a pair of wheat cards.
"I got no one else." Jessica sniffled.
"Well, until you find a new one, we shall be your herd." Gleve nodded.
"Clan is important." Shoal smiled. "Now deal me in."
Gleve smiled and collected all the cards once more. He wasn't happy with all the tragedy, but he was more than happy to help a human find a herd.

2023.03.30 20:15 a15minutestory [WP] You are a student in the most prestigious magic academy in the kingdom. No one knows how you got in, sure you have amazing magic potential, but youāre āmagic blindā meaning you can only feel the presence of magic and not see any magic. [Part 67]
Life, for most, was a series of ups and downs. You fail your test but then your mom makes your favorite dish for dinner. You lose the big game for your team, but then you make a major breakthrough in the spell you've been practicing for weeks. You drop your ice cream, but find some cash in your pocket you didn't remember leaving there.
The girl you've been fawning over for weeks tickles your tonsils with her tongue, but then you're cut in half and enslaved by your nation's mortal enemy.
Yeah, my life was
different, there was no doubt about that at all. But the lowest lows made even the slightest highs feel so much higher. Something as simple as eating a hot meal was the height of life when you had been living on crackers, stale bread, and nearly century-old dried meat.
We failed to notice that everyone in the restaurant was staring at us as we wolfed down plate after plate. The juices; the flavors; the tenderness of the meat; the softness of the hot bread smothered in butter. I couldn't stop smiling as I ate.
"You gotta try this," Tovin said breathlessly between bites as he passed me a bowl containing what looked like some kind of wet, shredded, colorful salad. I swallowed the big bite of steak I had been chewing and quickly put a spoonful of the mystery dish in my mouth. It was heaven on earth.

is this?" I asked.
"I think it's the coleslaw, give it back," he said, pulling the bowl right out of my hand. I turned and looked at the dumbfounded waiter standing next to our table, and smiled. "More coleslaw, please! And ribs, I'm outta ribs! And a refill on... what was this called?"
He stared wide-eyed at my plate and then shook his head as though clearing his mind. "Uhh, I believe you were having the peach lemonade, sir."
"That!" I pointed my fork at him before turning back to the assortment of delicacies splayed out before me. I wasn't sure if it was because I hadn't had a proper meal in weeks, or if it was just that the empire knew how to eat, but it was the best food I had ever tasted in my life.
"So good," Tovin said in such a way that I had to check and make sure he wasn't crying.
After eating all that we wanted and all that we could, the two of us just sat slouched in our chairs with bulging stomachs. I lifted my hand shakily toward the last rib on my plate, but let it fall to my side as I closed my eyes and accepted defeat. The will was there but the room in my stomach wasn't.
"My goodness, sirs," said the waiter. "You hunters sure can eat."
I looked up at him with a satisfied grin, "Hard work always makes a meal so much better. Know what I'm saying?"
"Can't argue with that," said the waiter as he folded his hands. "But... if I may, could I politely ask you to pay your bill? I mean no offense, but you and your friend have a..." he cleared his throat. "
Musk about you."
I looked at Tovin and then at myself, and then at all the empty tables around us. We were still covered in the calraven's dried wing gunk. I had to have gone completely nose-blind to it. Now the faces everyone had been making at us made a lot more sense. I looked down to see that it had been flaking off of us and onto the restaurant floor.
"Oh man, I'm so sorry," I apologized.
"No!" said the man, holding his hands out. "It was an honor to serve the hunters keeping our cities safe, don't take me the wrong way. It would be our pleasure to serve you again, but it's about to be 5'o clock and our dinner rush will be starting soon."
I suddenly remembered something I had completely forgotten. I looked up at the man, "Excuse me, do you have a pencil?"
"Certainly," he answered, pulling one from his apron and setting it down on the checkered tablecloth. "Your bill will be 22 octims."
"That's so much," Tovin groaned, not bothering to lift his head or open his eyes. He wasn't wrong, but we had ordered almost everything on the menu. I wasn't completely certain I could walk correctly when it was time to leave. I pulled out the envelope and handed him 25 octims.
"Keep the change," I said, Tovin groaning quietly in tacit disapproval.
"Th-thank you!" said the waiter with a wide grin.
"In return, I'm keeping the pencil," I added, smiling back.

It didn't take long for us to find an inn. Bronzegirder was full of them, as it was apparently a booming industrial hub rife with people traveling on business. We decided to book one room with two separate bedrooms to save a bit of money. It came out to 9 octims a night, which when you factored in food, meant we only had a little over a week's worth of cash if we spent conservatively. I didn't know how long it was going to take me to find Atlas and Axle, but I couldn't see it happening that soon. We would likely have to hunt again; that or find a steady job that paid the bills.
It was a humble inn compared to some of the others we had seen. I really wanted to stay in one of the nicer ones, but Tovin wasn't having it. He said the less we had to go out and make money, the better, and I couldn't come up with a good enough argument to push back. While Tovin took a shower, I took an eraser to everything Fena had written to me in the notebook. I left a little bit of her message so as to avoid suspicion, and decided I'd write back later tonight before bed.
After his shower, he realized that he only had dirty clothes to change into and we were reminded that we needed to go shopping. I rinsed off and the two of us made our way back down to the lobby and out into town. It had gotten considerably darker since we had checked in, and the chill winds blew against my cold hair, sending shivers down my spine. We pulled our hoods up and hit the market.
The first shop we landed at was a big success. We bought a warm hat for Tovin's head, which was only just now growing back a thin layer of hair. We found some sheepskin flight jackets with wool collars that rode high against the back of our necks. Tovin begrudgingly accepted them as the best option both for warmth and for hiding our slave tattoos, but for me, I also thought they looked really, really cool.
We bought some leather gloves that matched the jackets, along with new undergarments and sleep attire. We bagged some Diesillian snacks and drinks, as well as a refill of cigarettes for Tovin before heading back to the room. We were both exhausted, and I was more excited about a bed than I ever had been. Back in the room, we sat on the floor and tried the different candies and snacks as we discussed our next plan of action.
"Let's stay here for a little while," Tovin advised, sitting under the open window with his cigarette in hand. "This place is huge. The odds of them finding us here quickly are slim."
"I agree," I said as I popped one of the candies in my mouth. "I'm not going to say I like it here, but it sure beats being on the run."
"We're still on the run," he warned. "Don't misunderstand that. We should also probably pick new aliases. DuPonte has the wrong ones, but Gilliam is pretty similar to William."
"Yeah, but we're not on the
run, run. Y'know, being chased through the night, sleeping in abandoned shacks, and stowing away in train cars. I know they're still looking for us, but how are they ever gonna catch us now?"
He folded his arms and dropped his eyes. Smoke billowed from his mouth as he sat in quiet contemplation. "It would be a mistake to underestimate our enemy," he said finally. "We need to start going by new names. I'm Wallace, and you're Geoffrey, got that?"
"I don't want to be Geoffrey,
you be Geoffrey," I said playfully as I passed him a bag of candies. "Here, try these. They're called jelly beans, they're pretty good."
He dug his hand into the bag, fished one out, and popped it into his mouth. "Fine," he said. "You can be Wallace then, and I'll be Geoffrey. You need to help me remember that, you understand?"
"Yeah, I got it," I assured him.
"Gill."
"I said I heard you, Jeez," I said dismissively as I picked up the dark beverage I had been eyeing. It was labeled Root Beer and it generated a golden fizz at the top when disturbed. I couldn't wait to taste it. Tovin reached over and gently lowered my hand. I looked up to find him staring at me intensely.
"Gill," he repeated. "Stop. Just stop it, alright? I know what you're doing. I might be slipping, but I'm not dumb, deaf, and blind just yet. While I appreciate the act, or at least where it's coming from, I know you're just as scared as I am. I'm not a child; and while I may not be able to preserve what remains of my dignity for very much longer, I would ask for your respect until that time comes."
I had somehow underestimated the smartest man I had ever knownā again. I didn't know the extent of his condition. Based on our interactions, I figured that he had no memory of the times when he regressed. I assumed that he didn't fully understand how bad his lapses had gotten, but it seemed he did. Worse yet, I knew how he felt about sympathy. The way I was acting had to have felt like the biggest insult to him, and even so, he wasn't reacting with anger.
He just wanted to be heard.
"Earlier today in the woods," he said, lifting his arm and tapping his cigarette against the window sill. "I can't remember the details. I don't know how you did that monster in, how I ended up unconscious, or anything about how we got back to the city. But I
do remember how I felt."
He traced the floorboards with his eyes and placed his arms on his knees as he looked for the words. "... I felt useless; helpless like a terrified child. At one point, I felt like I didn't deserve to be alive." He looked up at me. "It was like I was swimming in a dream; like I was watching my own actions from over my shoulder. I came back to consciousness for a brief moment and contemplated shoving that rifle in my mouth."
"Tovinā"
"Shut up," he waved at me dismissively, drawing tendrils of smoke in the air with the end of his cigarette. "I don't need your pep talk," he huffed. "I'm past it." He rested his head against the wall behind him. "I just want you to know that this whole thing is getting harder for me. It's like there are two people fighting for control of the wheel, and when I'm not steering, I'm in a sleeplike state. My thoughts play out in front of me like I'm having some kind of fever dream. They smear and melt like watercolor giving me brief glimpses of reality through a window I can't reach or jump through."
I stared at him with concern. We shared a brief moment of eye contact before he closed his eyes and exhaled smoke. "It's not looking good for me, Gill. I just wanted you to know before I went to bed," he said, getting to his feet. "That if I go to sleep tonight for the last time..."
"Hang on," I interrupted. "There's something you should know. I reached out to that friend of mine back home. He's already working on a way to fix you."
His face brightened. "Y-yeah?" he smiled. "Gill, why didn't you say anything?"
I picked up the bottle and used the opener we had purchased with it to pry the lid off. "There was never a good time," I shrugged. "It's been a long, long day."
"Well, what else did he say?" he asked, taking a step forward.
"... Just, y'know," I trailed off. "Hang in there."
He sucked his lips in and looked down at the floor. He knew I was holding back. I was more worried about putting him through information overload than anything else. There was a lot he didn't know; too much, in fact.
"Tovin, just trust me. You'll know everything soon," I assured him. "All of it. As soon as you get your memories back."
"You really think your friend is that incredible?" he asked without looking up.
I smiled knowingly. "I do."
I took a swig of the beverage and spat it back out all of my legs. It almost splashed his legs and he quickly scrambled away. He looked at me with apparent disgust.
"What the fuck is
wrong with you?" he yelled.
"It's like medicine," I grimaced. "I don't think this is even a drink!"

That night, as Tovin slept, I wrote down the events of the day. As I jotted it all down, I began having new revelations. Tovin seemed to be at his best after resting. In the morning when we got off the train, he seemed alright. However, as the day drew on, he became less and less like himself. I should have known something was up the moment he wandered off without me. Then he was acting like a literal child up to our confrontation with the calraven. He had even mistakenly called me
dad, perhaps reliving a buried memory of a hunt with his father.
But when his rifle exploded and he lost consciousness, he was back to himself when he woke up. He seemed to hold strong through dinner up until he went to bed. I wondered what it was about sleeping that restored at least a portion of his working mind.
Then there was the stranger, referred to only once as "Deac." There was no mistaking the magic that glowed in his body, but what was that other energy? I couldn't see it, but for the fact that it danced with and often overtook his magic essence. There were two energies tangled up together inside of him, and they seemed to be at odds with one another. And then there was the Diesel Devil sitting at the back of the cave.
The two of them definitely knew one another on a familiar level. They had been sent together to investigate Eluviel, but why, and from where? She definitely didn't seem happy to see them, but could that have been because she felt I was threatened by them? A splinter-sprite, he called her. A piece of her consciousness that she had shed just before she was subdued.
I wondered why she'd chosen me. Was it because I could see her while others couldn't? Or maybe I was just secretly really, really awesome, like a main character in a novel. I sat under the electric light and smiled at the idea of being someone worthy of tales. Someone like Tovin or Atlas with a bright destiny. But was revenge really such a noble pursuit? The yearning to return home and lift some heads off of shoulders didn't seem like any sort of heroic journey. After I penned the events of the day as best as I could, I got to work answering everyone individually.
Tovin. Be nice to Gill. He's doing his best with what he's got. Instead of being pissed at him, be pissed at the headmasters in question for what they've done to him. I hope everything I wrote above helps in some way, but I'm still running around out here with a lot of questions. Any luck with the spell for your counterpart? As you;ve read, he's getting worse. I need that miracle cure sooner than later. Thanks for your help. I could already hear him in my head. "I'm working as fast I can you ingrate," or something like that. I laughed under my breath as I thought about what a dick he was. It was pressure, pride, and maintaining appearances that warped his personality so much. Out here in the Diesel as a nobody with nothing to prove, he was so much more agreeable. His inner-Tovin showed through now and again, but I wondered what would happen if he suddenly got all his memories back. Would he be a more chilled-out version of his ENU counterpart, or would he be even
more high-strung?
Gill. I hope you read the annotation I scribbled in the margins about not reading the whole journal entry. I forgot you had asked me not to talk about the Galgalim before I had already written it all down. If you skipped right to this response as I hoped, then don't go back and read any of that. There were major revelations about what she is and why she's here. I knew he wouldn't be able to resist after reading that. I needed his curiosity to overpower his fear. It was possible, I figured, that I could undo some of the damage Vega had done. I just needed to remind Gill of who he was.
I know it's weird putting your trust in me, but if there's anyone you can trust, it's yourself. I'm 99% sure Tovin would back me up on that, haha. And yeah, I remember Fena boasting about the importance of keeping a diary. We love that girl, but we hate to write, am I write? I hoped he would find my pun funny. He was me, so he would at least smile at it, I was sure.
Even now my hand is aching something fierce, I want to go to bed more than anything. You know how long its been since I've slept in a bed? This mattress feels like heaven under me right now, you got no idea. And is Tovin still threatening to kill you? I thought we had gotten a little closer than that. I can't believe Axle was expelled. You're right, that means you're probably next. Keep your head down, man. Thanks for cooperating with me. If you had changed the summoning signature for the tome, I would have died today... and yesterday too, actually. I'm getting actual combat experience out here. It's wild knowing you can die at any moment. My hand is kinda cramping and I still have to write Fena back so I'll end it here. Thanks again for hearing me out and staying open-minded about this whole thing. I set the pencil down and massaged the muscle between my thumb and forefinger. I had a lot to tell. But I wasn't about to roll over and drift off without writing to Fena. I picked the pencil up and readjusted myself before putting my words down.
I'm sorry I asked Gill not to tell you, but something deep down inside of me told me he would do it anyway. I just wanted to touch base with him first before I reached out to the rest of you. And technically, I was the one who showed you the message in the tome, so I didn't actually ever keep a secret from you. I doodled a little smiley face with his tongue sticking out and then quickly erased it only to find that I couldn't fully get it off the page. There was a big smudge there that made it evident that I'd written and then erased something. I let out a frustrated sigh and drew it again, but somehow worse.
That's a solid theory on Tovin there. Same for Atlas. That could end up coming back to bite Vega in the ass. I promise I'll be safe, but do me a favor and help Tovin with whatever it is he needs. He's working on that spell to untether blocked memories from the mind, and the Tovin with me is getting worse by the day it seems. I don't want to see him get caught and sent back to the camp. He won't cooperate with them and they'll definitely kill him. Thanks for everything, hun. I miss you more than you could ever know. Promise me you'll stay safe too. I know Vega is trying to find a way to get to you. If he got to Tovin... look just take every precaution you can. I love you. Goodnight. I closed the book and set it down on my bedside table. I pulled the chain on the light, snuffing it out, then turned over and sank my head into the pillow. It wasn't that late yetā I could hear the hum of Diesel vehicles and even the chatter of the populace outside. I pulled the blankets over myself and closed my eyes. I let the warmth of the bed cradle me as I counted my many blessings, and thanked Hahnahkordia that I had somewhere warm and dry to lay my head.
The room was dimly lit when I opened my eyes again. It was just bright enough that I could read the clock on the wall. It was about 7am. It felt like I had blinked. I thought about getting up, but the blankets were so warm, and the room was coldā I had left the window open all night by accident. What reason did I have to get out of bed anyways? I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep again and repeated this several times until the clock read noon and I started to get hungry.
I rolled out of bed and quickly closed the window. I hurried into the hot embrace of my morning shower and got dressed before knocking on Tovin's door. "Hey, you up? I was thinking of breakfast."
There was no answer. I carefully opened his door to find his bed empty and neatly made. I entered the room fully to find that his backpack was also missing. I figured he had to have gotten hungry first and left without me. That theory fell on its face when I ventured back to my room and found a note placed on the side table.
You can sleep all day if you want. I'm going down to the gun range at the hunters' office. I won't be shown up by you again. I set the note down and began to worry. I didn't like the idea of him going out by himself. What if he were to suddenly backslide mentally while out in Diesel territory alone? I could see a scenario where he'd forget his alias or that he has an incriminating mark on the back of his neck. I got dressed in a hurry and grabbed my backpack before heading out the door. I hurried down the steps and out into the cold wet streets of Bronzegirder.
I made my way north of the crowded city streets and found Alloy street. The bitter winds blew against me as I made my way up the empty road toward the hunters' office. I was starting to regret not buying a warm hat for myself when I bought one for Tovin. I skipped every second step on my way up to the front door and made my way past the reception desk and into the firing range. I heaved a sigh of relief when I found Tovin shooting at targets downrange.
I walked up next to him as he turned his rifle over and grabbed a handful of ammunition from the box sitting on the counter. "Busy morning, Geoffrey?"
"Did you
just wake up?" he asked as he began feeding bullets into the tube.
"I figured I didn't have anywhere to be," I shrugged. "I assumed you didn't either. I thought the plan was to get our bonus and ditch this place."
"Yeah, well, I kind of like shooting," he admitted. "Also, we're out of money."
I felt my knees turn to jelly underneath me. "What?" I yelled. "How?"
"Turns out these guns are expensive," he said as he pulled the hammer back and lifted the rifle to his shoulder. "You left ours out in the woods. They charged us for them."
I stammered for entirely too long before wiping both hands over my face and collecting myself. "... How much we got left?"
"We owe," he answered, firing his gun. "They charged us for the uniforms, and then a fee to clean the gunk off of them. Also, I bought us a pair of rain ponchos, they're cheaper here." He motioned to a couple of folded-up ponchos hanging over the wooden divider.
I stammered for a little longer. This was becoming more expensive than it was worth. We would have to hunt another monster
today. I was hoping to never have to hoof it out there again, and it was even colder today than it was yesterday.
"Calm down," he said, not taking his eyes off the target. "Get your poncho on. I've got a plan."
"A plan?" I asked.

"The circus?" I said with a hint of anger in my voice as we stood in front of the many tents and attractions. They had set up east of town on the perimeter of the city. Families wandered the fairgrounds. Vendors had set up games and stands with delicious food we couldn't pay for, and I had just remembered I hadn't eaten breakfast.
"I came this way first when I smelled the food," Tovin said, taking a few steps in front of me and turning around. "Then I explored a little bit. And wouldn't you know itā I found an attraction that was offering a cash prize. It just wasn't open yet."
I sighed and hung my head. "You just wanted to come to the carnival," I grumbled.
"100 octims," he said flatly.
I looked up at him and he smiled faintly. "
Thought that would get your attention." He reached into his pocket and produced a single red ticket. "This will get us one round."
"One round?" I asked, taking the ticket and inspecting it. It read, "Single Admission ~ 1 Minute."
"There's a stage toward the back with a guy in a cape that you can challenge in hand-to-hand combat," he said, beckoning me to follow as he turned and started into the fair. I hurried after him as he explained. "Here's the kicker though. You don't have to beat him. All you've got to do is
hit him."
"Just hit him?" I asked.
"That's what they said. He's supposed to be some kind of master. You strike him just once and we're set for the next several days, and that's after settling our debt."
This plan was a little better than I had given him credit for. Here I had thought he'd gone bananas again, but this could really work.
"You think I can do it?" I asked. "It can't be easy if they're throwing around a hundred octims."
"Here's what I'm thinking," he said, lowering his voice and slowing down to walk next to me. "You use a little bit of that magicā the kind you isolate in your feet to move quickly."
"Are you nuts?" I cast him an incredulous glance. "Did you forget we'd be on
stage in Diesel territory?"
"Just use it once quickly to make your swing a little faster," he reasoned. "It's been drizzling all morning. The stage is wet already. If you're quick about it, it won't stand out."
"I don't know," I shook my head. "It's not the worst plan, but it's so risky."
"Riskier than hunting monsters?" he asked.
That was a fair point. Still, the idea of casting in front of everyone made me uneasy. It wasn't like Jetstream was a super common spell, though. Furthermore, the odds were slim that anyone in the crowd had ever even witnessed magic before. The more I thought about it, the more I started to think we could actually pull this off.
"This is the place," said Tovin as we approached a crowd. There was a wooden sign in front that read,
The Slippery Salamander! One hit gets you 100 octims! The two of us pushed through the crowd until we came to the stage where a mustached man was swinging like crazy at the aptly named Salamander. He bobbed and weaved effortlessly around every attempted strike until a man in a red and white striped outfit hurried out onto the stage and blew a whistle.
"Time's up!" he called out.
The crowd cheered and applauded as the Salamander turned and took a bow. The world fell out from underneath me. I couldn't believe my eyes.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ask anyone in the academy and they will tell you that deep space explorer is the job everyone dreams about, but anyone who does get the job will tell you just how bad it is. Endless cycles of flying, scanning and then flying some more, all while being locked inside of a ship the size of a small apartment building. To say cabin fever sets in quickly would be an understatement.
Still, the young and naĆÆve will shoot for the position. Some might say that it is simply human nature to want to explore and find something that no one else has ever laid eyes upon. Whatever the reason was, it was this naĆÆve hope of finding something new that landed Lisa in this pickle.
She was a healthy twenty-five-year-old fresh out of the academy, proud graduate of the class of 2247. Her skin was fair, her hair was fiery red, and she possessed a well-toned body as a result of all the training she went through. For the last several years she had been training to be a deep space explorer, and now that she had got her wish, she just wanted to be anywhere else.
That wasnāt to say that she didnāt occasionally enjoy her job, particularly when she is able to record the discovery of a new planet or asteroid cluster, but those long periods of time between these places were killer on her psyche. The only thing that was able to keep her even remotely sane was also a necessary part of being an explorer. Her partner.
Ships always went out with people working in pairs or trios. Daniel was great. They got along well even in their academy days, having a similar sense of humor and shared some hobbies with one another. They both put in to be partners with each other because you had to be able to get along when you are locked in a metal box for months with someone.
Lisa was sitting in the pilot seat of their ship, checking the different status screens to make sure that nothing was going wrong while they were in transit. The door to the cockpit opened and Lisa glanced over her shoulder to see Daniel stagger in and flop down into the co-pilot seat with a yawn. His black hair was rather messy right now, and he had definitely gotten a lot paler since they started this journey due to the lack of direct sunlight they received.
āMorning sleeping beauty, looks like you enjoyed your little nap.ā Lisa said with a slightly teasing voice.
āYeah, well after that double shift I had to pull when the plumbing line cracked, Iāve been whipped. I appreciate you taking over my shift at the helm.ā
āNo big deal, basically just watching a bunch of blinking lights. Honestly might have fallen asleep myself a few times. Promise not to rat me out?ā
He chuckled a bit. āSure, so long as my unscheduled nap doesnāt make it into the logs.ā
āDeal.ā
With that bit of lighthearted banter, they both went back to their jobs, which for now was directing the last stages of exiting from slip space. When they exited traveling speed and coasted to a much more reasonable pace, the first of the scans for the new system they entered were sent out. Lots of stray gasses and rocks. There was a small moon sized celestial body that was high in metal content though.
āWell, that might make a good mark for a mining colony to set up around for a few years. I think thatās worth a bonus at least.ā Lisa commented.
āYeah, not the most interesting system weāve ever been to, but it has potential. Making note of it in the log.ā
Everything seemed to be going rather by the book. Lisa was interested in the possibility of the small moon growing into something else, maybe a gas planet given another few tens of thousands of years. Still, nothing much left to do here, so she... A light started blinking on the console, one that shouldnāt have been blinking this far out in the middle of nowhere.
āHuh.ā She idly sounded out while reaching out to change the screenās projection.
āWhatās up?ā Daniel asked.
āOh, I'm not sure yet. The sensors are picking up a signal, but it's probably just stray background radiation tricking the system. Let me clear it up.ā
Daniel nodded and let her do just that while he focused on taking a detailed recording of the moon for those back home. Meanwhile, Lisa was still trying to find the cause of the signal and filter it out. The only problem with that she found that the signal was locally generated, not just a strong interstellar pulse.
Her brow dropped in clear confusion as she started to set the scanner to track the source of the signal. It pinged several times and it came back that it was moving. āHey, Daniel.ā
āWhatās up?ā
āDo you know if there are any deep space probes in the area?ā
āUhm, let me check. Why?ā
āThat signal that we found, it is locally generated, and itās moving.ā
āOh, damn, are we trespassing on a corporate claimed system?ā
āThatās what I want to find out. Pull up the probe list for this area.ā
āAlready on it. Letās see...ā He scanned through the list that appeared on the screen in front for a minute, reading over various probe identifiers and posting notices. āHmmm, this might be a problem. There are no active probes in the area, at least none that are registered. Illegal operations?ā
āItās possible. We should snap a few pictures and then report this.ā
āAlright. Iāll keep an eye out for additional signals. If this turns out to be pirates, we need to gun it out of here.ā
āDiverting power to engines, adjusting heading, and here we go.ā With a few simple commands she pushed the ship into motion towards the mysterious signal. It was about thirty minutes of sub-slip flight to reach the general area. The tension was building in the cockpit as the two continued to be on the edge of their seats just in case this turned out to be a trap.
They entered the zone of the signalās source, and it was projected to be within twenty miles of their current position and closing fast. āCan we get a visual on this thing yet?ā Lisa asked.
āHold on, locking in on the source, external cameras are active and searching.ā It was a few minutes later that a ping sounded from his console. āGot it, putting it on the main screen.ā
They both looked over to see that the source of the signal was a ship, although it wasnāt of any design or make that they were familiar with. āDaniel, any ideas of what to do? They seem to have power, but are they stranded?ā
āIām not picking up an SOS, it just seems like they are transmitting a stream of data somewhere. Should we try hailing them?ā
Lisa contemplated that for a moment. āWe should, just in case they need help. Iāve got the engines hot and ready to go if things get pear shaped.ā
āOpening up a channel now.ā Daniel flipped a few switches, and the mic was hot. āUnidentified vessel, this is the Chariot of Helios. We were passing through the area when we picked up your data stream. Are you in need of assistance?ā There was a minute where nothing came back on the radio. āUnidentified vessel, please respond.ā A second later Danielās eyebrows went up. āUhm...ā
The way he sounded had Lisa worried. āWhat? Whatās wrong?ā
āTheir signal stopped.ā He replied tersely, keeping his focus on the panel in front of him.
āGood or bad?ā
āDonāt know. There are a lot of things this could mean. They might be doing something illegal, in which case they think we busted them, the stop of the signal could be a signal for someone, in which case this is a trap, or they are just trying to redirect their focus onto us.ā
āHereās hoping itās the last one. Iām ready to blow this joint at a momentās noticeā
āHold on, theyāre sending something back. Iāll put in on speaker.ā What came through was a series of clicking, screeching, and whistling sounds that made the two of them flinch.
āThe hell was that?ā Lisa asked.
āMaybe they are having some technical problems? Let me try again.ā He started to transmit again. āUnidentified vessel, please repeat your last message, we did not understand you.ā
This time there was a long pause in the back and forth that lasted several minutes before the ship started to send them something. āTheyāre sending us a data package.ā Daniel said as the information came in through the screening process.
āWhatās on it?ā
āHold on, itās a pretty big file size.ā There was a pause for a moment before he quirked his brow questioningly. āThis is... is this a lexicon?ā
āWhat? Let me see that.ā She leaned over to get a view of the stream of symbols and occasional accompanying pictures. It had a similar layout to the lexicons that they were familiar with and were taught about in the academy but there were some minor differences that made it unique. āDaniel, do you recognize any of this?ā
āThe format, sort of, but not the characters or the language used here. Lisa, I'm thinking we might be involved in something big here.ā
āWait, you donāt mean that this is...ā
He nodded. āYeah, this might be a first contact.ā
That was hard to grasp for the two of them. In over fifty years of human deep space travel there hadnāt been a single sign of alien life. To think that they would be the ones to discover another civilization was difficult to process. Still, there were procedures in place for such a happening if ever it did occur.
āUhm, okay, so, erm.ā She fumbled around the console a little bit while trying desperately to remember the steps as her mind was thrown into chaotic panic. āFuck! I mean... Aliens!ā
āI know, I know, just... try to keep calm and let's give them our own lexicon. We have it around here... somewhere.ā He might have not have been as visibly panicked as she was, but he was still floundering a bit with the ship controls.
āOkay, alright, Iām calm, Iām good. Iāll just, uhm, put their lexicon through the learning program.ā The simple VI program could parse an insane amount of data and find common patterns that it would use to devise a logical conclusion. In this case, it would decipher their language, at least in written form.
āYou do that, I just found our lexicon file and am now sending the packet to them. Oh damn, almost forgot, we need to record all of this, so we have it on file.ā
āReally? Shit, as if I wasnāt already under enough pressure. Canāt we send out a request for help?ā
āTake a deep breath, weāre months out into wild space and any message will take weeks to travel. I'm going to start the recording.ā
While Lisa watched the learning program slowly decipher the alien lexicon, Daniel started the recording with a brief description of their names, the name of their ship, and the situation that they had found themselves in. Once the basics were covered it was now just a waiting game. Either they would figure out the alien language first, or the aliens would decipher theirs. Whatever the outcome, the tension from waiting was terrible.
It felt like the progress bar on the translations was taking forever, and eventually Lisa just got up to go and prepare something to eat so she had something to distract herself with. While cooking on the shuttle was rather limited given the nature of their job, there was a certain art in preparing the dehydrated foods in a way that would make them palatable. The process of making their favorite combination of dried foods was simple, but required focus. That was able to distract her for a while, and the meal helped return the mood around the ship to at least a relative normal.
Hours ended up passing. The progress that the learning program made on the lexicon was significant. It was almost a full day of waiting and they had just reached the three-fourths mark on the program before the console pinged with an incoming message. Both of them were dozing in the cockpit when the console came alive again, and they jumped in their seats while scrambling to their stations again.
āWhat just came in.ā Lisa asked with a slightly frantic tone.
āHold on, checking now. We appear to be receiving a message, text only. It just says, āHelloā.ā
āThey sent that? Does that mean they figured out our language?ā She sounded a bit more excited. The first successful communication between different species.
āThatās what it seems like. I guess their programs were more advanced than ours. I wonder what else they have that might be better?ā Daniel contemplated all the possibilities before shaking his head. āLetās save the speculations for later. We should return a message.ā
She shot him a grin. āWill it be the stereotypical message that we always see?ā
He gave a grin himself. āWhat better message is there? Iāve always wanted to say this.ā He began typing out the message they would send to the aliens in reply, and Lisa watched as the words appeared on the screen.
āGreetings from humanity, we come in peace and wish for cooperation.ā
The cockpit went still for a few minutes, and you could barely even hear the two breathe as they waited for the reply.
āHello humanity, we of the Ursul Collective are gladdened to hear of your peaceful intentions.ā
āYes!ā Lisa shouted out and threw her hands into the air. āAliens! Peaceful aliens! Fuck yeah! I wonder what kind of music they have. Maybe theyāre fuzzy.ā She gasped at the realization. āOh my god, if theyāre furry little guys I'm going to lose it.ā
āPlease do not scare away the aliens before we have a chance to establish diplomatic relations.ā
āThat depends on them and how cute they are.ā
āI will kick you out of this cockpit if you do anything crazy.ā
She huffed. āFine, I'll try to contain myself.ā
āGood.ā With that he got back to the conversation with the aliens known as the Ursul.
āWe are very far from our home on a scouting mission, but we hope that you would be willing to set up a meeting between our leaders.ā
After a pause for apparent deliberation was had, they replied. āWe do not have much authority as we are similar to you in occupation. However, news of meeting people from the stars will be heeded by all, so we need to return to our world to establish such a meeting. We invite you to follow but would need access to your computers to relay navigation data to avoid stellar obstacles.ā
āThat might be a problem.ā Lisa idly states. āThe security on the navigation controls wouldnāt recognize any of their computers and lock them out. They would need to give them to us in person, which means they would have to come aboard, and we donāt yet know if our atmospheres are compatible.ā
āWell, we can ask them about that at the very least.ā He gets to work typing again.
āWe are honored that you would invite us to your home, but our ship lacks the means of receiving that data unless itās in person. If you would tell us the composition of your atmosphere and the weight of your gravity it would help us figure out if it is possible for a visit between our ships to take place.ā
There was another brief pause before the reply. āOur atmosphere is mostly a nitrogen oxygen composite of seventy-five and twenty-three percent respectively with gravity set at nine point five three meters a second.ā
āOkay, that is relatively comparable to our own conditions. It should be safe for you to come aboard for the transfer, at least for a little while until further tests can be made. If you are willing to come aboard, we would be happy to host you for as long as you needā
āWe are very excited for the prospect of being the first to meet with a new species face to face. How would we connect our ships?ā
āOur dock has a flexible tube attachment that can seal around a variety of ports. You will have to make a short jump through zero gravity, but you can make it across safely. Do you have any concerns about this?ā
āWe do not. Two of us will make the trip across. You may approach us slowly, our port is extended and waiting for your umbilical.ā
With the permission received, they began their cautious approach as to not spook the aliens or cause an accident. The strange oblong vehicle they piloted had a flat bottom, was gunmetal grey, and currently had a tube extended from its port side. Lisa and Daniel piloted their ship to match the speed of the alien vessel was drifting at. Once they were synchronized, the umbilical tube was extended out from their ship and carefully wrapped around the extended port where it was vacuum sealed and then atmospherically pressurized.
āThe umbilical is secure; you may cross when ready.ā
āAcknowledged, we will begin the boarding process for your shipā
Lisa jumped out of her seat and rushed to the airlock, practically bouncing off the walls with excitement. She couldnāt even stand still as she rocked on the balls of her feet while waiting. Daniel was much more reserved but still held a fixed grin that showed he was eager to see the aliens as well.
Soon the sound of the outer airlock closing was heard inside the ship, and the two humans straightened themselves out as much as possible. Lisa bit her lip in anticipation, taking a few deep breaths to calm herself to a respectable level. The inner door started to open, and Lisa stepped forward to speak first only to freeze in place at the sight of the beings standing in the entrance.
Standing in the entrance to the airlock were two aliens over six feet tall that looked like upright arthropods. Their black shells were reminiscent of ancient earth trilobites, eight limbs consisting of four legs and four arms, with heads similar to that of vespids, clacking mandibles and antennae included.
Lisa went stiff as a board and pale as a ghost, frozen in abject horror. The two alien arthropods also stopped all bodily movement at the sight of the humans before the one on the left let out a screech and charge at Lisa.
HolyfuckingshitthisishowIdie! Was the only thought that went through her head before her arms were seized by the alien with two of its graspers holding her by the elbows and the other two by the shoulders. Its mandibles clacked rapidly as it let out a series of whistling, humming, and trilling sounds while prodding along her head with its antennae.
Lisa was so paralyzed that she couldnāt even find it in her to scream. Her heart was racing so fast in her chest that she thought it might explode as she was on the verge of tears. In a single act of desperation, she managed to look towards where Daniel was, hoping that he would come to her rescue, but only seeing him backing away from the other alien that was moving towards him as well.
āHey! Iām warning you dude, stay away from me, I'll rock you upside the head!ā He threatened the alien that paid no mind as it still slowly closed distance with him.
āD-D-D-Daniel! Help!ā She managed to stammer out.
He looked over at his partner in the grasp of the large alien and then back at the one trying to corner him. With a curse on his lips, he swung a haymaker and struck the alien approaching him on the side of its head. Immediately pain shot up through him as it felt like he had just punched a rock, but the alien was sent staggering from the blow.
Wasting no time, he rushed to the aid of his partner, and learning his lesson, he opted to grab her while shoving as hard as he could against her captor. The alienās grip wasnāt all that strong, and she slid out of its grasp while it stumbled backwards. Immediately he pulled Lisa behind him and started to back away from them towards the cockpit.
The aliens had recovered from the blows, though still appeared to be somewhat disoriented. The one that Daniel had pushed had moved to assist the staggering alien that was punched before trying to approach the two humans again with raised graspers. Daniel put up his fists for a fight, but the punch-drunk alien reached out and grabbed its comrade, stopping them from approaching.
This alien took the lead over its comrade, approaching extremely slowly in a half-bowed manner. Daniel did not drop his guard, but he took notice as the alien reached towards one of its arms which had a device attached to it. Their nimble four fingered hands started to tap away at the device for a moment.
After they stopped fiddling with the device, the console in the cockpit pinged with a notification for a received message. Daniel cast a quick glance in that direction before returning an iron clad gaze onto the aliens who were standing completely still.
āLisa, go check what that message says. Iāll watch them.ā
She was more than okay with that as it gave her an excuse to get as far away from the freaky aliens as possible. Now in the other room she felt significantly better and was able to focus a little more. Checking the screen, she found the message somewhat odd, and yelled out at Daniel what it said.
āThe message says: āI am sorry, we appear to have breached some sort of social barrier and apologize. We hope that we have not damaged our chances at relations.āā
Danielās brow dropped in contemplation. Was this just a misunderstanding? He started to feel a little bad for punching the one alien.
āLisa, can you link my tablet to the ship systems and bring it to me?ā
āYeah, right, one second.ā She was a little bit unsure about going back into that room, but so long as she kept Daniel between herself and the aliens, she could manage. After syncing the devices, she returned to Daniel and handed him the tablet, not so subtly hiding behind him as just looking at the two aliens made her break out in a cold sweat.
Daniel started to type out a question to help clarify the situation. āWhy did you grab my partner like that?ā
After reading the message, the alien frantically started typing on their device. āI apologize profusely for any offense that this might have cause. My own partner was simply overcome with surprise and failed to control themselves. There was no harm intended.ā
āAnd what was intended? You still havenāt said why you reacted that way or laid hands on my partner.ā Daniel fixed them with a glare, and despite them being significantly more terrifying than him, they seemed to shrink a little under his gaze. When they started typing again, it was with some hesitance before they sent it.
āWe do not wish to offend you, but you are very appealing to our senses, especially the smaller human with the bright fur. My companion simply could not resist touching and I apologize for his and my own actions.ā
Daniel and Lucy were shocked when they read that, and it took them a solid minute to fully process it. āSo... Youāre saying that you find us cute?ā
āYes.ā

2023.03.30 19:26 goldenfalconaviation Emirates Puts A GE90 Engine Through Testing Using Only Sustainable Jet Fuel
| https://preview.redd.it/dfe09l5dvwqa1.jpg?width=1632&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=34708e674c95309ee74674fe890fe7c6624f44a7 In a successful ground test, Emirates used totally SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) to power one of its General Electric GE90 engines on a Boeing 777-300ER. In late January 2023, the airline planned and operated a test flight using only one engine, which is fully SAF. On January 23, 2023, the airline passed the ground test in which it proved the skill of an engine powered completely by SAF. Do you know? Sustainable aviation fuel is currently blended with jet fuel at a ratio of 50%. Emirates emphasizes that at the time of the test, one engine was run entirely on a sustainable substitute while the other was powered entirely by conventional jet fuel. Together with starting both power plants, SAF also began using the Honeywell 331-500 APU (auxiliary power unit). The Boeing 777-300ER's two engines were then run at cruise settings for a quarter-hour after Emirates engineers had done a test program that encompassed takeoff and idle. The climb settings were at total-flight profile periods. The airline started when the ground test was completed, engine data was installed for the process of complete analysis, comparison, and examination. The GE90's creator, GE Aerospace, and Emirates made a deal to develop a broad test-flight program in November 2021 by signing an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding), which is also 100% SAF. According to Emirates, the fuel for the ground test was built with the same performance characteristics and quality as conventional jet fuel. They also collaborated on the operational needs and technical analysis. It is also surrounding experimental flight activities and ground testing. It was a successful action! Emirates tested a GE90 engine with 100% sustainable aviation fuel. Anyway, the industry is growing, and we can expect more interesting things. The associated fields, including aircraft parts for sale companies, aircraft maintenance and repair companies, surplus aircraft parts for sale companies, leasing of aircraft companies, Boeing parts for sale companies, and air charter logistics companies are supporting the innovations. So, what are you thinking about the field? submitted by goldenfalconaviation to u/goldenfalconaviation [link] [comments] |
2023.03.30 19:04 tvchase THE GREATEST TRICK THE DEVIL EVER PULLED -- Part Five (1/2)
āWrestling is linear. But these are not linear timesā¦ā Part One, Part Two,
Part Three, Part Four September 9, 2022 ā The Fallout from Brawl Out AEW is in crisis. Its champion and biggest star turned the world upside down three days prior. CM Punk is in exile, two titles are vacant, and three of the companyās founders have their futures in jeopardy. The landscape is pure chaos. Amidst that chaos, a villain strolls out to the stage with a big smile on his face.
MJF eats it all up⦠AEWās greatest heel may have become its greatest face in one night. The live audience is jubilant to see him and he reciprocates, diving into them just as CM Punk had done, hugging Taz at the broadcast desk, wearing the jersey of that cityās football team.
Joy reverberates in his words once he grabs the microphone:
"BUFFALO, NEW YORK! THE DEVIL IS BACK! Now listen up Buffalo, first things first... Who's excited to see MJF? āLord knows I am. Guys, I love Buffalo, New York, hell the greatest Quarterback of all time, Josh Allen is from Buffalo. Now, we're gonna get down to brass tacks a little bit here, okay? Last time you guys saw me I might've said some offensive stuff, I'm just being honestā¦
The fans strike up a loud chant: āYOU WERE RIGHTā
Now hear me out, hear me out, hear me out... Hold on g-- Seriously, I only have so much time allotted. Shut up. Please. Jesus. Alright listen... If there's one thing I know to be true, it's that right now you might think that we're in dark times, but we're not. What we need is leadership. And I can not think of one more person, more trustworthy than me! Now let me tell you a story: there was once a wise Jewish man, and his name started with a M. And when his people were meek and weak and they needed help, he split the sea wide open and he walked them straight to the promise land. Buffalo, I'm not telling you I'm Moses, that's ridiculous. I'M BETTER THAN MOSES! I'VE GOT TO WIN THAT WORLD TITLE BECAUSE MY NAME IS MAXWELL JACOB FRIEDMAN AND I'M BETTER THAN YOU...
āAND YOU KNOW IT!ā, the crowd finishes for him. āWild Thingā comes over the speakers and Jon Moxley walks through the crowd to the ring.
He stares down MJF then says: āYou are absolutely full of crap.ā
Crowd laughs a bit, but they also boo him some.
MJF:
"So let me get this straight, Jonathan. You think I'm not being sincere here in Buffalo, New York? In front of all these grotesque, poor, lard asses who have quite possibly the worst Football Team in the history of the United States of America? [MJF shedās the jersey and wipes his ass with it] ⦠Now Jon, I don't know if you're a little bit woozy considering you went to sleep on Sunday⦠[MJF mimes CM Punk's āGo To Sleepā pose]
But maybe you got a point. Maybe I don't care about AEW.... Maybe I don't care about these people... Maybe, just maybe I look at the World Title as nothing more than a bargaining chip that I can use for the bidding war of 2024. Maybe I take that title to a real Wrestling Company, WITH REAL FANS. And real wrestlers like my friend and hero 'The American Roller Coad-ster' Cody Rhodes. And ā I'M HOLDING THE MICROPHONE YOU BUMS! KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! And maybe, just maybe I get to work for a real boss, the only Khan in professional wrestling that's worth a damn; Jolly Old St. Nick. Because to quote the greatest wrestler of all time, and my personal hero, The Game: 'That is what's best for business.āā
Moxley:
"Dude. This is not the time, this is not the place, and I am in no mood. You need to leave this ring right now, or I will make you leave.
MJF stands toe-to-toe with Moxley before slithering out of the ring. Mox continues:
Hey, your theme music sucks by the way. Now Buffalo, New York. I am in no mood... I am pissed off. I am embarrassed. I am pissed off about a great many things. But none more so than the fact that I'm standing here without the AEW World Championship... The AEW World Championship represents passion for this sport! Passion for this business! It represents the passion of the guys and girls in the back, and the fans that fill the arenas and watch at home. Those three letters in the AEW World Championship, they represent heroes during a pandemic at a time where the world needed heroes. It represents the dream, the vision that we all had when we started this thing years ago, and we wanted to show the world just what wrestling could be. The AEW World Championship represents taking the dark and ugly side of this business and letting it die with another generation. The World Championship represents the freedom to be as great as you are willing to dare to be. The AEW World championship means being better than I was the day before. Even if it's just a little bit better. Even if nobody notices but me. That World Championship represents slaying demons. That World Championship represents EVERYTHING I LOVE ABOUT THIS BUSINESS!
But the fact remains: on Sunday, I lost. And that's on me, that's my fault. I made mistakes. I got pinned. That's on me. I missed the game winning shot. And I was supposed to be on vacation right now, like until about two days ago. But here's another chance to take another shot when the game's on the line. This Tournament of Champions is one hell of a shot. That's one hell of a big rock to push all the way to the top of the hill again. Chris Jericho, the greatest of all time. Bryan Danielson, the best pure wrestler to ever step foot into a ring, a better wrestler than I'll ever be. Darby Allin, Hangman Page, Sammy Guevara, three dudes all younger than me, faster than me, more naturally gifted than I could ever be. So yeah, that's a hell of a shot. But winners always want the ball when the game is on the line. The Ace always wants the ball. And I want the ball. So hell yeah, I'm gonna take the shot.
Cause this isn't just a time to win⦠This is a time to be a legend!
Moxley leaves to a furious ovation and has rallied the AEW fans back to reason and rationality. Itās only temporary though, and an unnerved mood persists. The message is delivered by Moxley, truly the Ace of the company⦠But it feels like it shouldāve come from someone else and perhaps that someone else would have been there to deliver it if he wasn't turned away. Better yet, the situation may have been avoided entirely.
But then again, maybe the whole damn thing was inevitable all along.
January 4, 2016 - Tokyo Following their tag win over CHAOS, Kenny Omega betrays and usurps the leader of Bullet Club, AJ Styles, at NJPW: New Yearās Dash.
"AJ Styles! My god, you can't be surprised, can you? You people, you can't be surprised. You at home you better not be surprised. You had this coming, AJ. We gave you the big matches, we gave you the big pay-per-views. We made you a star, we paid you like a star. While I struggled, while I starved, forcing myself to be a junior. Everybody called you a leader, everybody called you the boss. Well AJ, if you are the boss, I'm just gonna say it. You have now been fired.
The rest of the Bullet Club is initially in disagreement before coalescing around Kenny and ganging up on Styles. They leave with their former leader in a heap, but Kenny and the Young Bucks gather at ringside. The three of them return to the ring and continue the brutal assault on AJ Styles⦠They are still in the Bullet Club, but within that organization, henceforth they will be
The Elite. January 4, 2017 - Wrestle Kingdom 11 Having stormed through his first ever attempt in the tournament, Kenny Omega became the only gaijin to have ever won New Japanās G1 Tournament and earned the right to challenge for the companyās top prize at WK11.
That night in the Tokyo Dome, Omega and Okada created magic in one of the greatest matches in wrestling history. On the same show, Bullet Clubās newest member debuts:
Cody Rhodes. Frustrated with his position and his creative direction, Cody had requested and been granted his release from WWE the previous summer, Cody makes his way across the Pacific, sending shockwaves through the international wrestling landscape.
Despite this shot in the arm, Bullet Club is tested by the crushing defeat of its leader. Following his loss to Okada, Kenny steps away from wrestling to assess his future. When he returns after several weeks Cody had grown ambitious and plots in the background.
June 11, 2017 - Dominion In a rematch of their classic from the start of the year at Wrestle Kingdom 11, Kenny Omega attempts to avenge his defeat and claim the IWGP Heavyweight Championship from Kazuchika Okada. Earlier in the night, Cody had grabbed a headset and proclaimed he wanted to face Okada himself.
Omega and Okada push each other over the limit even harder than before. Omega is taking inhuman punishment yet refuses to give up. Eventually, Cody makes his way down to the ring and attempts to throw in the towel for Kenny, but the Bucks stop him.
The timekeeperās bell rings, marking it a 60-minute draw.
Afterward, the Elite debate whether it was a true act of mercy by Cody or a scheme for his personal goals
Cody storms Okadaās post-match press conference, where he mocks the champ, spits in his face, and challenges him for a title match.
May 16, 2017 - The Bet Dave Meltzer quote-tweets a question asking if anyone could sell 10,000 tickets to a non-WWE show in America, to which he replies, āNot anytime soon.ā
Cody takes note and responds:
āI'll take that bet Dave⦠put The Bucks & I on the card & 3-months to promoteā... Over the next year this grand dream between Cody and the Young Bucks will come to fruition.
July 1, 2017 - Returning the Favor Cody unsuccessfully challenges Okada for the IWGP championship. Kenny comes to ringside and wants to throw in the towel just as Cody had tried weeks earlier. After the match, the two of them nearly come to blows backstage and Cody flips a table.
August 2017 - G1 Climax Throughout the tournament, Bullet Club nears a boiling point. OG member Toma Tonga questions Omegaās leadership due to having his small inner circle of The Elite within the larger group. In the weeks and months to follow, Cody identifies Kota Ibushi as Kenny Omegaās weakest point and starts targeting him as a wedge to divide the Bullet Club and
create chaos wherein he can ascend to power. January 4, 2018 - Wrestle Kingdom 12 Looking to use a win over Ibushi as a flashpoint to take control of Bullet Club, Cody viciously mauls Kota in a singles match but canāt secure the victory. Frustrated that his plan failed, the next night at New Yearās Dash he launches a post-match assault on Ibushi. Cody and the rest of Bullet Club are wailing on Ibushi until Kenny rushes out to stop them⦠but the rest of Bullet Club canāt help feeling Kenny views his old tag partner as more important to him than they are. Codyās plan bears fruit as Kenny makes a massive unforced error: he invites āSwitchbladeā Jay White to join Bullet Club and be a shot in the arm for the faction, only for White to betray him immediately and join CHAOS.
January 7, 2018 - Being the Elite #87 Camera follows the Elite as they are tense and nervous preparing for Wrestle Kingdom a few days earlier. It jumps to the group after New Yearās Dash, all gathered at a tense dinner conversation. To break the tension, Matt proposes a new gimmick for the group:
āBTE IS DRUG FREEā... aka, Straight Edge⦠no one shoots it down, but theyāre not thrilled either, and Cody hides his beer underneath the table.
The effort to relieve things fails, however, and Cody blurs the line between kayfabe and shoot, shouting for the cameraman to put the camera down. Then we get a fly-on-the-wall glimpse at him charging Kenny with always āturning everything into a bitā, disregarding the group, and heatedly asking him if heās actually their leader before Kenny finally storms away from the table.
January 28, 2018 - Civil War Jay White scores a massive upset at New Beginning and takes the IWGP United States Championship from Kenny Omega. After the bell, Hangman confronts Jay White and seeks to challenge for the title, but Kenny stops him. The Bucks and Cody rush to the ring, and Cody accuses their leader of stepping on Hangmanās moment. A violent argument ensues with Kenny shoving Matt Jackson to the ground.
Once the Elite have left the ring and Kenny is alone, Cody seizes the opportunity and hits Kenny with a CrossRhodes, initiating the Bullet Club Civil War. The only thing saving Omega from a brutal attack that night is Ibushi, who runs off Cody and returns the favor for his old friend and partner, reuniting the Golden Lovers after years of separation. Regardless, Codyās plan is in full effect. Bullet Club is in disarray and if he is to take power, now is the opportunity.
In 944 days, Roman Reigns becomes world champion to begin his and the Bloodline's vice grip on WWE.
January 30, 2018 - Being The Elite #90 Cody, to the assembled Elite of Matt, Nick, Hangman, and Marty:
It isnāt my place, but youāve known that guy for over ten years. I donāt get it, Iām sorry. Yeah, heās a great wrestler, but leadership⦠Like I said, itās action not position! Thatās not acting like a leader! āOh, youāre my second, youāre my secondā... Who the F-CK are you seconds for? Nobody! The best tag team in the world! And Hangman, itās your moment! He⦠He ruined it.
Bullet Club is fine⦠Bullet Club is fine.
Kenny & Ibushi go to visit the Bucks in their hotel room,
Room 710⦠but we arenāt shown what happens next.
February 12, 2018 ā Being the Elite #92 Cody floats around reassuring everyone: āBullet Club is fine.ā All of the guys have pure depression on their faces, but Cody continually gasses them up, telling the Bucks theyāre ready for the jump to the heavyweight division and encouraging Marty to start up a Villain Club of his own. Later, Matt, Nick, and Marty are commiserating in a locker room prior to a Ring of Honor show when Hangman and Cody strut through the door.
Cody, smugly:
āWhew, look at that! Did you guys see [Hangman] kick the door down??ā
He thinks a couple of surprises might cheer them up. The first, some new merch that says āBullet Club is Fineā doesnāt do the trick, so he takes them for the second surprise: their new mascot, Bury the Drug-Free Bear. Using his best Sting voice, Cody introduces Bury as someone who will āshock the worldā only for him to āfall on his f-ckinā arseā like the Shockmaster did 25 years earlier.
Kenny tries to call Matt, but Cody sees the call coming through on the phone and declines it.
February 19, 2018 ā Being the Elite #93 Cody maneuvers the Bucks around the Melbourne airport to keep them from running into Kenny. While traveling, Cody further drives the Ibushi wedge between Matt and the absent Kenny and plays up that Kenny only views the Bucks as a junior tag team. Later, Cody takes the brothers out to the zoo and to the movie theater as we see Kenny emotionally watching
Casablanca on his phone.
The Bucks catch up with Tonga and the OGs backstage in a locker room where they try to make peace.
Matt:
āAlright guys, thanks for gathering here. Nick and I feel like thereās one important thing that we need to talk about⦠I think itās kind of obvious, right? Thereās a divide in the Bullet Club. Itās almost like thereās two entities all of a sudden. Itās like thereās Bullet Club BTE and Bullet Club OGs⦠Nick and I have been watching what youāve been doing in Japan⦠holding down the fort, representing the Bullet Club, making the name proud. But weāve been back at home in the US doing the same thing. There is no heat here. We love you guys. When we all say that catchphrase, when we say āBullet Club is for lifeā, we mean it. Itās not just a catchphrase, okay? Thereās no heat here. The only heat is between two individuals: Cody and Kenny.ā
Tonga:
āCody is right. Bullet Club is fine.ā
The two groups shake hands, then Cody enters the locker room, surprised to see everyone together:
āDid somebody call a meeting? I didnāt call a meetingā¦ā
In strolls Kenny.
Kenny: So there he is. The snake in the grass. Three-star savior. Hey Cody.
Cody: Did you see the sign outside? It says 'Bullet Club'.
Kenny: That's right, and I AM THE LEADER.
They start brawling and the others can barely keep them apart. Cody: Touch me and I'll sue! Touch me and I'll sue!!
Cody throws a chair that barely misses Kenny and the Bucks. Matt and Nick look at each other, devastated at whatās become of the group.
February 25, 2018 - Being the Elite #94 Matt Jackson is on a plane traveling between shows, doing the same thing as Kenny from the previous episode:
watching Casablanca.
For those who haven't seen it, the story at the heart of the film is a love triangle: cynical club owner Rick, his first love Ilsa, and her rebel husband Laszlo, enhanced by a background of espionage and war with the local police chief, Renault, at the crossroads of the entanglements.
Itās foreshadowing the story to come. In the film, Rick and Ilsa had a passionate love before the events on screen, but they split up and Ilsa then wound up with her now-husband Laszlo, a Czech rebel carrying vital documents for the resistance against Nazi Germany. Rick and Ilsa reunite and rekindle their romance until Rick ā knowing sheās better off with her husband ā convinces Ilsa to leave with Laszlo before local authorities catch them. Rick stays behind, killing the evil Major Strasser who was attempting to stop the married couple from escaping Casablanca.
Renault, who has been playing both sides (Germans and Resistance) up to this point, is touched by Rick's sacrifice. Other policemen arrive and see Strasser's dead body. Rather than identify Rick as the culprit, Renault instructs the cops to "round up the usual suspects"... And of course, that classic line provides the name of the film
The Usual Suspects, from which Punk, and MJF, and Don Callis have all quoted the final line:
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making you believe he doesn't exist." The Usual Suspects is a tale of a mysterious crime lord who manipulates and controls multiple criminals to achieve his ultimate goal and get away scot-free. It is tightly designed so that if you rewatch it knowing the ending, you realize and notice dozens of things you missed on the first viewing.
As
Casablanca ends, Rick says to Renault:
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship", implying that if they work together, they can get away with almost anythingā¦
This BTE episode ends with the group all in Japan. The Bucks approach Kenny and Ibushi to have a conversation, but Kenny doesnāt have time for them. Later that night at the event, Cody pulls the Bucks into a hallway and implores them to listen to the promo Kenny is cutting in the ring at that exact moment, where he declares the Golden Lovers the greatest tag team in the world. Cody pushes them to go handle it. The Young Bucks go to the ring while Cody flashes a devilish smile.
Matt:
From this day forward, my brother and I have decided to move up and compete in the heavyweight tag team division.
It puts them directly in opposition with the Lovers. Kenny and Ibushi confront them backstage, but the Bucks donāt take anything from him, saying theyāve always been there to support him but itās never been returned. All those times they were there to pick Kenny up off the mat, where was Ibushi?
March 5, 2018 - BTE #95 In Vegas, Matt and Nick are in the dressing room talking when Bury the Drug Free Bear enters and seems desperate to tell them something. Bury is about to remove the head to his costume when Hangman bursts in. He is angry with Matt for not helping him during his confrontation with Joey Ryan the week prior. Cody enters and asks Bury why he hasn't got his Bullet Club shirt on and pulls him away to get changed. Everyone looks confused and Matt wonders what the bear was trying to tell them.
Cody is in the production studio and calls Nick over to suggest that Matt is holding him back and that he should consider wrestling in singles matches, but Nick looks unconvinced. Later that night, Cody is in the ring celebrating with Brandi and Bury after his match. As Cody goes to hug Bury, the bear pushes him to the floor. Standing over a prone, confused Cody, Bury removes his costume head to reveal Kenny Omega ,who knocks out Cody with a knee strike as the fans go wild.
Cody is demented after the match:
āWhat a time. What a time to be involved in this great sport⦠Everybodyās eyes in this sport are fixed on New Orleans, on Supercard of Honor⦠my very first encounter with Kenny Omega. So wouldnāt that be enough? As a professional⦠that feather in your cap, that everybody is talking about your match, that everybody wants to see your match, that you have stolen the [Wrestlemania] weekend from the rich and you have given it to the poor⦠wouldnāt that be enough?
So why the⦠escalation? Why come to Las Vegas? ⦠Youāre supposed to be the best wrestler in the world! A hero! Youāve got a bag full of them [match rating] stars, well I have a book full of dates, full of cities, full of towns, because Iām not a hero once a month! Iām a hero every single night!
Perception is no longer reality. Reality is reality.
And the reality is that I am the leader of the Bullet Club⦠that I am the hero in this story.ā
March 20, 2018 ā BTE #97 Just like he did with Nick previously, Cody sequesters Matt and says his brother has been holding him back and he needs a singles push.
In Japan, Kenny records a message to the Young Bucks apologizing, saying how
Cody has gotten into everyoneās heads and divided the group, and hopes to make amends⦠Unbeknownst to him, Cody has Nickās laptop so he intercepts the message and edits it down to an insulting challenge. Matt is enraged, but Nick is suspicious.
March 25, 2018 ā The Elite Fight It Out In Los Angeles at NJPW: Strong Style Evolved, the Golden Lovers face the Young Bucks in a deeply personal grudge match. After a brutal, back-and-forth war where the Lovers emerge victorious, Kenny attempts to bury the hatchet. Nick accepts the olive branch, but Matt refuses to shake Kennyās hand. Cody hits the ring and berates Matt for eating the pin during the match. When Nick intervenes, Cody spins around and shoves him to the ground.
Later in the locker room, Cody comes in to ask what happened out there. The Bucks are challenging him for his actions, but Cody shouts them down, saying he thought it was Kenny in the ring and that he would never do such a thing to them. Cody apologizes profusely and leaves.
Nick:
āI donāt think we can trust this guy.ā
April 7, 2018 ā Supercard of Honor XII With the leadership of Bullet Club at stake, Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes square off in a hard-hitting match. Having grown wary of Cody and his schemes, the Bucks come down to the ring and decide to attack Cody. They launch double superkicks⦠but Cody ducks and the kicks land on Omega, allowing Cody to hit his finisher and claim the win. Matt and Nick attempt to explain, but Kenny refuses to listen.
In the backstage area, Cody is ecstatic at wresting control of Bullet Club away from Kenny. He wants to celebrate, but the Elite leave the dressing room and leave
Cody sitting alone in his ring gear, sweaty, bloody, with a black eye and a gym towel draped around his shoulders, looking starkly similar to another guy post-match four years later⦠June 4, 2018 ā BTE #105 After a busy summer in which Cody and the Bucks have assembled the looming All In event, Matt and Nick try establishing lines of communication with Kenny in Japan. Ibushi implores him to reconcile with his old friends but heās reluctant. Cody is obsessed with running a Senate election campaign in Texas and practices his speeches in bathroom mirrors, but it almost sounds like heās talking to his stablemates. Meanwhile, a package that Matt and Nick sent him weeks ago has been collecting dust the whole time. Ahead of his fourth match with Kazuchika Okada, Kenny decides to open the packageā¦
June 9, 2018 ā Omega vs Okada IV Everyone is in Japan for the big Dominion show. Hangman approaches Cody and asks what the plan is for tonight. Cody looks sullen and calls off whatever he had been plotting to ruin Omegaās big night.
Kenny triumphs in possibly the greatest match in wrestling history, claiming the IWGP heavyweight championship. He reunites with the Young Bucks afterward, and itās revealed that in the package are Golden Elite shirts,
honoring the pact they made in Hotel Room 710 at the start of the year.
Cody approaches the locker room with congratulatory gifts for Kenny and to make peace, but he stops short and leaves them outside the door.
July 7, 2018 ā Debts Are Settled in San Francisco At the G1 Special NJPW show, Cody challenges Omega for the IWGP championship. After a war with Kenny emerging in triumph, the Elite gather and celebrate⦠until the Bullet Club OGs attack them in retribution for the dysfunction and strife theyāve brought to the group over the previous two years. Cody returns to the ring and is given a chance to brutalize Kenny, but instead he defends him and rejoins the Elite in full.
Over the coming months, Cody, Kenny, Matt, Nick and Hangman solidify themselves as a core group leading up to:
September 1, 2018 - All In By far the greatest triumph in indie wrestling history, the show was a massive success both at live gate and on PPV, wildly exceeding all expectations.
In its main event, Cody wins the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, the same world title his father had claimed 31 years earlier. After this monumental night, the Elite ceded the war for control of Bullet Club to the OGs and stepped away from the group, turning their attention to the establishment of something new entirely: All Elite Wrestling. This new national promotion came into being on
January 1, 2019, and at its forefront was the core group of five. As the inaugural and omnipresent face of the company, Codyās claim to AEW gold is surely just a matter of time.
May 25, 2019 -- Double or Nothing AEW holds its first event ever.
In 944 days, on the Christmas episode of Rampage, Cody claims his final championship in AEW.
August 31, 2019 -- All Out As the clock strikes midnight, Chris Jericho pins Hangman Adam Page to become the first AEW World Champion.
In 944 days, Cody Rhodes rises onto the WrestleMania stage and returns to WWE.
November 6, 2019 Allied with his friend, protege, and personal recruit to AEW, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, the public face of AEW prepares to challenge for the world championship of the company he helped build. He seems destined for it, itās damn near his birthright, and yet there are whispers heās only in position to claim it through politics.
Cody:
āEddie Graham... Cowboy Bill Watts... The American Dream Dusty Rhodes... For the cold and sterile historians of our business, there's an air of controversy that surrounds them, it's from the simple fact that those men were also, in addition to being competitors... they were management. Not unlike myself. And for the last year I've told everybody: every podcast, every radio, every correspondent. I've shouted it off the rooftops how proud I am of AEW, how proud I am of the all-inclusive nature, of the schedule, of the pay, of the fact that we will listen. This! This is Ellis Island for a professional wrestler! This is freedom! So, when I hear the same criticism attached to my name for being management and being in a title match⦠I can't not hear it... And with that said, I am announcing that if I do not defeat Chris Jericho at Full Gear... I will never challenge for the AEW World championship again.ā
And so Cody faced Chris Jericho at Full Gear 2019 with destiny in his grasp. There, with MJF in his corner, Cody and Jericho pushed each other to their limits. Late in the match with the challenger locked tight in the Walls of Jericho, MJF throws in the towel for Cody and costs him the match, effectively locking him out of the title picture thereafter.
MJFās ascension begins. He wins the Dynamite Diamond Ring and begins climbing the rankings. Winning isnāt simply enough, though. If he wants everything, he needs chaos. He needs to flip the world upside down. He needs the world to believe its heroes are the villains and its villains are the heroes.
November 14, 2019 MJF:
You wanna boo me as if Iām the villain⦠Meanwhile, you people have been cheering for the real villain the whole time. That villain is Cody⦠Cody Rhodes couldnāt give less of a shit about any single one of you⦠You sheep donāt want to admit it. Thereās only one man on this planet who knows the real Cody Rhodes, and youāre looking at him.
December 11, 2019 MJF:
"What are you gonna do Cody? Are you gonna try to fire me? Are you gonna pull Tony Khan over to the side and get me fired? Well how bout you do that Cody. HOW BOUT YOU FIRE ME. Oh wait. That's right. You won't. Because the one thing you want most in this world is to get your hands on me... And to top that off, you'd be letting down each and every one of these people you claim to care about.ā
February 29, 2020 ā Revolution After weeks of taunting and weeks of enduring the original gauntlet of trials MJF sets in order to get a match with him, Cody gets his match with MJF⦠but he falls short, defeated and humiliated by the young man he brought into AEW himself.
March 5, 2020 ā Cody is bitten by the original Snake Jake Roberts emerges from the thickest of weeds and slithers down to the ring. He nearly devours Cody. He mocks himā¦
āHail Caesarā. He neither fears nor respects him.
āWhat a Snake wants, a snake takes. Iām not in AEW for the whole pie.. Just your sliceā
Two weeks later the world screeches to a halt as an unknown, lethal virus spreads rapidly around the globe. For several weeks Dynamite is patchwork, assembled from whatever talent is available. A tournament for a new title belt is announced. Ahead of its opening round we get the darkest promo weāve thus far seen from the purest babyface in the companyās short historyā¦
April 8, 2020 Cody sits ominously at a table, in a pitch black room, and lights a cigar⦠just as heād done before when laying out his machinations against Kenny Omega for control of Bullet Club.
Cody:
"Why do I wanna be TNT Champion? Wrestling is so linear you're gonna hear the same answer to that question over and over again. You'll even hear the announcers strike some of the same hyperboles as they describe the stakes. The wrestlers will give you that real wrestling school, paint by numbers interview where they say things like --- you see: āThe boys in the back.' Or my favorite: They perpetually say their own name or the person they're wrestling against or the person who's interviewing them over and over again. Like I said, wrestling is linear. They might even do the ā [Cody gestures around his waist where a belt would be worn] - that thing. You see, where you pantomime, where you indicate that you want the belt. I've done it a thousand times. We've all done it, we're all guilty. Wrestling is linear. But these are not linear times, are they? I think we'd all give our last dollar for a little bit of normalcy, a little bit of linear. It's my personal hope that we get through this just fine. We wanna live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery, right?
So why do I need to become champion? It is not the fame. It's certainly not the added money. It's not the specialized lower third that they put on the screen. It's not even my specific, unique circumstance of trying to carry a last name that is worth 58 years in gold. It's much simpler. It's because I don't wanna lose. AEW has four major pay per views: Double Or Nothing, All Out, Full Gear, Revolution and I'm 50/50 and I have felt lost and I don't ever want to lose againā¦The motto, the expression, what the Nightmare Family means, it's sitting at the side of my neck is when we say: DO THE WORK! It's not: Do the work and lose.
And this tournament is flush, it's rich in talent. Take Colt Cabana. Probably the second most experienced guy in the tournament. Does a better flip, flop and fly than me, Dustin and Bully combined. Ask anybody in any locker room the world over ā they'll tell you they love Colt Cabana. Well frankly: I do not trust a wrestler that doesn't have any enemies.
Kip Sabian⦠and that hellfire fiance of his⦠What happens when those two cohabitate? Theyāre either gonna motivate themselves upwards or they're gonna drag themselves down to Complacency City, right next to ĀJobber Avenue.
Darby⦠I feel like I handpicked Darby. He's clearly the fastest rising star in all of wrestling in any company, hands down. He's putting on weight by the day, he's assassin quick. But Darby is a freshman on the varsity squad. I don't think he has the mental aptitude to finish this tournament.
My oldest friend⦠Shawn Spears. My former tag team partner, kind of my Dick Murdoch. Could be a world champion pretty much anywhere he wanted to be. But Shawn Spears is ĀKing Boo-Boo Face and he will mentally defeat himself before we ever even lock upā¦
Every one of those guys, they want to be TNT Champion. The difference with me: I NEED IT!
It was an outright heel promo, preceding his entry into the tournament which he ultimately won, facing Jake Robertsā client ā Lance Archer ā in the finals. Cody is the conquering hero he always aspires to be, and he rattles off five straight title defenses in five weeks. Someoneās not very impressed, however.
July 7, 2020 Cody stands with Arn in the ring, congratulating himself on the recent string of victories against⦠letās say, less than impressive competition.
Onto the stage charges Eddie Kingston, whoās heard enough:
"No, no, no, we're gonna get this right, we're gonna do this real quick. Cody, you talk about grinding, you talk about living this rough life, all that jazz. No one's gonna 'out-grind' you, all that stuff. My man, it's easy to say that when you grew up around used-to-be legends like Arn Anderson. Yeah, you heard me. Keep shooting murder-ones at me and I'll knock your jaw right off your face, partner. You know what I grew up around? You know what I grew up around? Alcoholics! Junkies! I GREW UP AROUND THAT... AND I HAD TO SURVIVE. I HAD TO GRIND. You couldn't last a day in my shoes, so you don't tell me nothing about grinding. You talk about the sport of pro-wrestling... that's a joke. Because every person you faced has been a child. I am a grown-ass man and I will put you in the ground and smile.
But here's the best part about this whole thing: the guy that you like to mention because you like to be best friends with the boss, Tony Khan⦠He paid me to show up. And now he's going to pay me to kick your ass and take that championship. Oh yeah, you wanna go? Arn, I swear on my beautiful mother's life, if you don't shut up, I'm gouging your eye out. All right? Let me speak! It's my time now. Real easy, relax, you've had yours. Tony Khan said to me, āĀYou know what, King? If you want No DQ, man, that's fine by me.. just.. you know.. Cody has to accept.' You have to accept, cause either you're an egg-sucking dog or you're an egg-sucking bitch."
Infuriated that he would be upstaged like this, Cody accepts on the spot. He survives an incredibly violent match and continues on with his title reign.
August 13, 2020 Mr. Brodie Lee whips Codyās ass. In just over three minutes, itās done and his beloved championship is gone. The Exalted One and The Dark Order put a massive beatdown on Cody and heās carried out on a stretcher⦠Then they continue attacking him on the stretcher.
Cody disappears for weeks.
September 23, 2020 Brodie spends over a month terrorizing anyone even remotely close to Cody, but he still doesnāt come back until after Brodie beats down Orange Cassidy in a title defense. Itās a surprise attack, which incenses The Exalted One.
Brodie:
"You gotta be kidding me! The audacity of a man, the audacity of you Cody to return like that! You have been gone for five weeks while Iāve been here doing the work, being undeniable! Oh my God, the audacity of you Cody. What kind of man sends another man to do his work? Did you see what I did to Dustin? Did you see what Anna Jay did to Brandi? What kind of man Cody, what kind of man lets his wife post Instagram thirst traps while calling me daddy? What kind of man stays away in a little bubble? A man like you, Cody. But YOU are no man! YOU are a coward!
Mr. Brodie Lee grabs a pair of dog collars and looks into the camera.
Cody, you can run on for a long time, but sooner or later Brodie Lee is gonna cut you down! And I am gonna take this dog collar, Cody, I am gonna wrap it around your neck, I am gonna wrap it around that God-forsaken tattoo! And you, Cody, will have nowhere, nowhere to run and nowhere to hide! You, Cody... You have one week to answer me: Are you a man... Or are you a coward?!"
Two weeks later, Cody reclaims his championship in the first dog collar match in AEW history. He would hold it for only a month until one of the Four Pillars pries it away from him, beginning Darby Allinās ascension to the main event scene... And sending Cody spiraling into the Codyverse of excess and absurdity.
February 17, 2021 - āItās a girl!ā Despite a litany of viral media and news segments addressing how excessive and even dangerous pregnancy gender reveals are⦠Cody and Brandi have theirs live on Dynamite, with full entrance and theme, as well as what still to this day is among the largest pyro displays in the history of AEW. Itās shockingly tone-deaf.
May 12, 2021 ā The worst promo in AEW history Just before the one year anniversary of the George Floyd murder that rattled America and stirred racial dialogue in a manner unseen for decadesā¦
Cody addresses Anthony Ogogo and delivers an all-time terrible promo. I'm not even gonna transcribe it here, it's the most pandering cringe ever.
Here's a link if you absolutely need to see it... When AEW returns to touring, all the cheering and adulation Cody was accustomed to at AEW's beginning is gone. His goodwill has completely evaporated. Theyāre tired of his phony, self-fellating act and want something different.
July 7, 2021 Still nursing a vicious eye injury incurred at the hands of Kevin Owens on WWE programming the previous October, Malakai Black posts on Instagram a video of him in a mental institution where he's been locked up for 5 years, coincidentally the same length of time he was in his old company... He viciously attacks and kills the doctors and staff.
Walking out, he says

2023.03.30 18:18 LostCareTaker Humanityās Potential - Part 5
First Previous Recounting of First Contact with Species HS-01 - Humans, Sol System, Primary sentient Species in the Star system. Recounting the events, Captain Invil Ta'Kotian, of the Serdes Hegemony, ally to the greater Federation that makes up much of the civilized galaxy. The nature of this retelling is to best determine the future that species HS-01 may have in the greater Galactic Stage, and whether they are friend or foe. This particular continuation begins after three members of Species HS-01, David, Sten, and Sasha, have escaped custody. After exploring the vessel and bickering, the team reveals that Sten wishes to not return to a life of fighting angry farmers on Mars. David states his desire to return home. Sasha, however, remains silent during the entire exchange. Captain Invil and his crew are discovered by Hvista raiders, and after divulging the presence of a new species called "Humans" onboard their ship, the Hvista are all but eager to board and fight this new "Super" species. "You shot us." David stated plainly as he sat in a chair facing Captain Invil. Scratching his beard, he nibbled on the extra food that had been provided. Sasha quietly stood next to him, munching away, as Sten practically inhaled ration bar after ration bar.
"We were terrified." Invil answered.
"You. Shot. Us." David said once more before folding his arms. "I said I wanted peace, I even said I didn't mind playing by your rules, and you shot us."
"You have a prisoner in your presence. I'd assumed you were the same. We don't know you. We don't know what your species is capable of. We were scared." Invil quickly reiterated before looking down. "I apologize... I suppose the silver lining is... Our weapons seem to have no effect on you."
"Oh they do," David said as he held up his right appendage. A massive block of purple and blue covered the area he'd been shot at. "It hurts like hell."
"It's supposed to tear off limbs."
Sten audibly laughed, showing his teeth and causing a number of the crew to place a hand on their weapons. "That's supposed to tear off limbs? Barely an itch."
"Well these are small arms. I'm certain a rifle could do more damage." Invil stated as if trying to protest as the large man only grinned more. "We don't have any on board.
"Yeah and why is that?" David took hold of the conversation again. "Far as I can tell there's just pistols on this ship."
"We're an exploratory vessel. We scout out mining sights, places rich in biodiversity. We mark it down and report back with samples. We're equipped to run away or take a hit, not fight back." Invil sighed. "Which is why I want to apologize. Can you accept that?"
David looked up to Sten who seemed more focused on his food. He then leaned to look at Sasha who signed before pointing to her tattoo. "For now, until we figure out what the hell is going on. But I don't want your men to get jumpy so let me just put the cards on the table now."
"Cards?" Invil asked as he tried to look where David would pull cards from, as the man had little more than a pocketless jumpsuit.
"Nevermind. Look, you were worried about the prisoner thing. Let's clear that up. Sasha, Sten, and myself. Yes, we are prisoners. Her government didn't like what she was saying. I... Killed someone in self-defense. Someone who had a lot of power. Sten well... Yeah well Sten is just crazy."
"I was an actual soldier. Did my job well." Sten grinned as another chuckle bubble up, causing some of the crew to step back. "Too well, ha."
"Sten," David chastised him softly. "We are prisoners yes, but it's a long story. We were part of a larger group and wound up separated. Separated by a very long way it seems. We're supposed to be back home, now I don't want violence between you and me. I want peace. Can you take us home?"
"Or anywhere else." Sten murmured, earning a frown from David.
"I... Can't promise that right now. We're under a situation." Invil started. "If you can help us, I don't see why we can't Shepard you home."
Sasha raised a brow and squeezed David's shoulder. "What kind of situation?" David asked not a moment after she did so. The ship suddenly shook as the clanging of metal rang all over.
"We're... Being boarded." Invil replied sheepishly.
Sten bellowed in laughter, "Finally! Some action!"
"And I guess we're supposed to help you?" David raised his brow.
"They're Hvista raiders. They see you as a rivals and want to fight you." Invil sighed, his ears drooping to a defeated position.
"Why do they want to fight us?" Sten asked curiously as he folded his arms.
"I told them you were here... And showed them you're resistance to our railguns." Invil admitted, causing the humans to frown at him. "I admit this only because... If they take this ship they'll kill all of us... If you fight them off, our chances are much better. I swear to you, David, if you and your humans can fight off the Hvista, I will shepard you back wherever." Invil quickly relayed so as to not lose their goodwill.
"Can I kill them now?" Sten questioned, causing a few guns to be drawn and aimed at him. "Oh it would be so easy."
"No." David stated before standing up.
"Boo, you're no fun." Sten grumbled.
"I can't say I'm a fan of you throwing us at your enemy like that, but if they prove hostile to us we'll handle it if we can. If they prove amenable well... I'll take them over the one that shot us." David stood from his chair and looked down at Invil with an annoyed gaze. "Unfucking believable... Give us weapons."
"No offense human but we can't do that." Invil shook his head.
"Are we supposed to beat the scary monsters to death with our fists?" Sten scoffed.
"Are you opposed?" David questioned.
"No, that's why I kept this," Sten reached to the back of his boots, and pulled a rather large knife that had most of the Aporyions shaking, as the size alone was as big as some of their heads.
Sasha rolled her eyes and approached the Captain. A few guns were drawn on her, but she merely stood before him and held out her hand. Tapping it a few times before making another
tch noise, she glared at the Captain fiercely. Invil slowly looked to David. David merely shrugged, "That's her way of saying if you don't put a weapon in her hand, she's going to beat you to death with your own spine."
"You have... A colorful language," Invil gulped before slowly handing over his sidearm.
"S-Sir?" Teema asked.
"Can't say no now," Invil sighed as Sasha examined the piece. With a quick lesson on the weapon, Sasha turned and walked to David's size. She looked up at him with the same apathetic expression from earlier, and signed something. She then moved to tie her fiery locks of red hair behind her, showcasing a number of scars along her cheeks that were once hidden by unkept bangs.
"Agreed. Alright, we'll clean up this mess if they're hostile. Afterwards, we want home. And Captain?" David stated as he pulled up the gun he'd taken from the dead guard.
"Y-Yes?" Invil stuttered.
"You try to fuck with us, and I'll let Sten do to you what got him sent to Deathrow back on earth." With that, David left towards the door with Sasha in tow. Sten grinned ear to ear, before snickering as his gaze went around the room. The doors sealed shut behind them, and Invil gulped.
"Do we... heed the warning?" Another crew member requested.
"At this point... I believe the humans are our best bet. I'm not eager to learn what Deathrow is." Invil nodded. "Continue to scan for Hegemony patrols, in case our humans fail."
As the trio left the bridge, staring down the long hallway ahead of them. They saw at the end came new entities they'd been warned about. The Hvista stood as tall as David and Sten, all held a varying amount of trophies across their bodies. The one with the most, Araxium, stepped forward with a grin. "Humans!" He bellowed as he and his men began to stomp forward. "That is what they call you right?! It is an honor to finally meet a real warrior. Killing an Aporyion in one blow? I am impressed! I hope the data the Aporyions gave my translator is working, I'd hate to not be able to talk!" He shouted, causing Sten to step forward with a grin.
"Oh are you now?!" Sten shouted back as they grew closer. "Not my best work but well, it was fun."
Three of the Hvista paused, tensing up as they gripped their weapons tightly. Unlike the Aporyins, these raiders had brought both blade and railgun rifles with the intent to kill. However, as they paused, an animalistic growl came from Araxium who looked over his shoulder at them. "Whats gotten into you?"
"The eyes... The eyes scream
Makorvo, Hunt-Master." One of the younger looking Hvista said as he tapped his claw against his rifle. "Cursed one."
"Bad omen... Don't like," another Hvista said.
"Ignore these feelings, whether it is sick or not it cannot stand against us.
Raval awaits the brave." He growled before returning his attention to the humans. David, Sten, and Sasha had moved to varying cover, keeping an eye on them from afar.
"Tell me," David started, "The Aporyions say you can't be talked to... They already shot at us so I'm not too keen on experiencing that again. Would you and your people be willing to take us home? We don't have to end in blood shed."
Araxium laughed and shook his head, his flowing mane rattling with the sound of bone charms clanking together. "I cannot. It goes against everything I believe. We have found fellow warriors, I wish to test your strength. Should you defeat us in battle, and one survivors, we will gladly honor your request, as the Code dictates."
"The Code huh? How does that work?" David continued before signing to Sasha. She nodded and began to quietly move farther off to the side.
"My people are not monstrous, human. We abide by the Code. Honor above all else. Through bloodshed we are made whole. I've seen your strength but for a moment, and I wish to experience it first hand. Should you prove worthy, I will honor your request as a fellow warrior." Araxium stated before chuckling. "Who knows, perhaps we will walk away from this as...
Kran," he said before his crew began to laugh alongside him.
"If you want to fight I guess we got no choice... I'm David, Sargent David, UN Prisoner of Battalion 13, leader of squad 7. Whom does my team have the honor of... Fighting?" He asked as he saw Sasha skulking behind them. David wasn't sure how she'd gone unnoticed, but silently thanked that she was on their side.
"David of clan Sargent, it is an honor. I am Araxium, of Clan Orrek. May our fight be worthy of both Your Ancestors and Mine." Araxium grinned.
"Finally," Sten rose from cover and stepped into the open.
"Sten!" David shouted as Sten merely opened his arms, holding up his knife.
"I'm bulletproof! Come at me you cow-" his words were interrupted as a well placed shot to the chest sent Sten flying back nearly ten feet. With a heavy thud, Sten hit the ground, coughing loud as blood escaped his lips.
"Sasha now!" David shouted as he rose from cover. Firing wildly at the enemies who moved to take cover, David kept low and made his way to Sten. Narrowly avoiding several stray shots, David grabbed Sten's shirt and pulled him behind a wall while still firing at the enemy. With luck, he struck a Hvista in the chest, and was nearly frozen in awe as a golf ball sized hall was blown right through the unlucky Raider. "They weren't kidding," he grumbled as he continued to fire from cover, and checked on Sten. "Sten, Sten wake up! Are you alright?!"
Sten groaned and coughed as he sat up. "Y-Yeah, just got... The wind knocked outta me... Did you know those things are bigger than the pistols?"
"You fucking idiot, hurry up I need you in this fight!" David shouted as he continued to fire a few shots before taking cover.
"That'll wake you up, ugh," Sten coughed again before coughing more blood. "I think it broke something."
"I'm going to break you if you don't get in this fight!"
From the opposite side of the ship, Sasha quietly gazed at the backs of the Hvista from her hiding spot. As one on the right slowly was left behind by the others that advanced forward on David, she emerged from hiding with the sidearm she'd been given in hand. Her eyes fell to the curved knife on the Hvista's back. Her speed picked up as she sprinted behind the Hvista. His ears flicked as he tried to turn, not expecting someone that barely reached his chest to be so bold as to charge him. Sasha kicked the back of its right leg, hearing an audible snap that caused the Hvista to howl in pain as it feel to one knee. Sasha grabbed it's knife, leaping onto the creatures back and pulling it back with surprising ease that nearly caught her off guard. Thrusting its own knife into the Hvista's neck she brought up the side arm she'd been given and dumped three shots into the Hvista closest to her. Turning and using the one she held as a meat shield she fired another four shots into the next. The remaining four including Araxium quickly moved to better cover, before half turned their guns on Sasha.
David sprung at the opportunity and opened fire as well.
Araxium merely laughed from cover. "Finally! The Ancestors have blessed us with a real challenge! Kor, Dojek, handle the woman, Barra, you're with me."
Together the hunters spread out to began flanking both Sasha and David in their teams.
As the humans took cover, their guns made audible clicks to show they had nothing left. But not soon after the clicks from the Hvista guns signaled the moment was now. Sasha sprinted from cover with the blue blood covered knife at her two assailants. Both of which happily drew their own knives. Seeing them both charge at once, she glared daggers before throwing the empty pistol at one. Though more of an inconvenience than anything else, it caused the Hvista to hold up its arm to block. Leaving her which just one to deal with. Dropping low and sliding between the other Hvista's legs, she slashed at its right leg, causing it to snarl in pain before it swung around to stab where she was.
Sasha rolled to the side, quickly getting up to her feet before backstepping. The Hvista worked together to slash back and forth, and were relentless. Sasha could only dodge for so long before one finally reached forward and grabbed her by the throat. Choking as she was lifted, the Hvista raised its blade. "The first kill is mine!" It shouted before bringing the knife towards her. Sasha snarled herself and swung her foot forward, striking the Hvista's elbow. It screeched in pain as the bone snapped clean in two, its arm dangling like a limp noodle. The other Hvista would not be dissuaded, as it quickly brought its knife down into Sasha's shoulder and rushed forward to push her back.
The first sound she had made in space, and it was a scream of pain, she growled like a feral beast as the Hvista held her against the wall, driving its serrated blade in deeper. The Hvista growled back before reaching back and drawing another blade. A bellowing warcry caught their attention as Sten came charging from the side, tackling the Hvista and dragging it away. Sasha slumped to the floor, wincing in pain as she held her shoulder. It felt like it was on fire, and she gritted her teeth as she saw the large metal protruding from her shoulder.
Sten dragged the Hvista away before reaching down to its waist. The Hvista repeatedly slammed its fists into Sten's back, causing no shortage of pain. Sten however, fueled by adrenaline, wrapped his arms around the beast and hoisted it into the air. With a rage fueled scream, Sten slammed the Hvista onto the ground, though did not kill it so easily. Quickly climbing ontop of it, he began swinging his fists into its face over and over. Audible snaps and crunches echoed around the hallway as fangs flew from the creatures mouth. It growled, snarled, and swiped at Sten to no avail. It's tail came from behind and tried to impale Sten, but stopped suddenly as something grabbed hold of it. A wounded Sasha screamed in anger as she threw herself on the Hvista's sharpened appendage, holding it down as Sten continued to beat the Hvista to death. A few moments later, and the creatures head was nothing more than mash on the ground. "Thanks little Red." Sten grinned before bringing up his own knife and throwing it towards Sasha.
She paused, shock and fear as the blade came towards her, but turned as it flew by and impaled itself into the head of the other Hvista whose arm she had broken. The creature fell to the ground, dead almost instantly. She turned to Sten, giving him an approving nod.
"Aw, you love me." Sten grinned, causing another irritated
tch to escape from her as she rose up. Her body shook in pain as the knife was still firmly in her shoulder. "Stay down little red, I'll give David some help." Sten said as he pulled his knife from the Hvista and rushed to help. Sten stopped as Sasha grabbed his arm, looking down at her confused. She twitched in pain before gesturing towards the airlock the creatures had boarded from. The sound of heavy footsteps gave Sten pause as he gripped his knife tightly. "Ah... Well, that's a problem."
On the other side, David hadn't faired any better. The first Hvista was easy to take down as it charged wildly towards him. His own knife skills far outclassing the beasts. The fluid movements had seen him using the Hvista's own momentum against it, flipping it over before stabbing it in the throat. In one fluid motion he had regained his footing, slowly trying to circle Araxium. "You are indeed a warrior, David of Clan Sargent."
"It's just David. Sargent is my rank." He said, breathing heavily as hunger still weighed on him. The blue blood of the Hvista covered his weapon as well as himself.
"I must say, I am indeed impressed. Perhaps we can come to an agreement." Araxium grinned before readying his blade. "If you survive."
"If YOU survive," a growl came from down the hall. Araxium and David both looked up to see five more Hvista standing there, two of which held a wounded Sten hostage. Sasha was, however, no where to be seen.
"I killed two of them before they jumped me, ha," Sten said happily before the butt of a railgun slammed into his back, causing him to grunt and fall to his knees.
"Quiet, beast." A Hvista with near golden fur growled before returning to gaze at Araxium. "Look at the mess you've gotten us into, Hunt-Master. They gave us ample warning about these humans in the footage, and you still charged in."
"Kintsu.... I hadn't expected you to actually show up to the battle. Ha, I figured you would've stayed on the ship." Araxium chuckled.
"You got our men killed for no reason." Kintsu growled.
"They died fighting.
Raval awaits them. Unlike you." Araxium spit, causing Kintsu's guards to snarl.
"Yes, yes, of course. If that's what will help you sleep at night. I'm done with this. We have one of them. We will take it back for study. There are new worlds to conquer. New worlds to enslave." Kinstu began, causing David to tense up.
Araxium, to David's surprise, roared. "We do NOT enslave warriors! Only the Servant races. Do you wish to spit on your Ancestors so readily?! Where is your respect for the Code?!"
"Damn you and damn the Code. Do you not see what this means?! A race of warriors no one has yet contacted. If we can make them ours, we would be as great as the Ancestors once were. I am tired... I am tired of this mindless raiding, we could be striking the golden worlds! Instead we are kept to the outskirts like feral animals. I am tired of it. I am tired of living as a shadow of the former Empire." Kintsu spat.
"And I'm tired of your voice." Sten spat before suddenly leaping it and striking Kintsu, breaking away from the guards holding him. Even with his bare fist, a sickening crack from the Hvista's skull as the two left eyes came practically flying out. A sudden shock came as the other guard struck Sten with a baton, causing Sten to audibly gasp before collapsing. Kintsu screamed in pain as the guards aimed their railguns at David and Araxium.
"Get down, David!" Araxium screamed before taking cover nearby. The other Hvista opened fire as they slowly began to advance.
Sten, slowly slipping in and out of consciousness, looked up at Kintsu who held his swollen face. "Sir!" Another Hivsta said as he approached Kintsu. "The Aporyions are attempting to vent the ship. We have to go!"
"Those cowards.... Grab the human, fall back! Everyone fall back!" Kintsu shouted before Sten fell into unconsciousness.
David and Araxium watched as they retreated to their ship, before Araxium looked up at the warning lights suddenly flashing red. "Those cowards!" He roared.
"What's happening?!" David snapped.
"They mean to open all the airlocks and vent the ship. They'll lose everything on board, better alternative than dealing with us." He growled before moving towards the bridge door. Kneeling by a panel, he ripped it off and began to work.
"Us?" David asked as he approached Araxium.
"Would you prefer to keep fighting in the void of space, human?" Araxium asked as he looked back to David.
David shook his head, "I'd prefer to be alive."
"As would I. Now give me a moment."
David turned at the sound of something collapsing and saw Sasha, still with the knife in her shoulder crawling forward. He quickly moved to help her up. Her breathing was shallow, and she winced as he held onto her.
The door to the bridge was flown open, and the three survivors moved in just as it sealed shut behind them. "Goddess, save us!" One of the Aporyions shouted as guns aimed for Araxium.
"If anyone pulls a trigger I'll kill each and every one of you!" David shouted, causing the crew to freeze up.
"Cancel the venting! Cancel it!" Invil shouted, followed by sighing as the emergency lights flickered off.
"I said not to fuck us over," David glared daggers at Invil.
"We had no intention of doing so. You were being overwhelmed. We figured you would've lost so we made sure to protect ourselves. If I wanted to fuck you over I would've welded the doors shut and then vented the ship." He explained before his eyes trailed over to the Hvista. "But it seems it doesn't matter, now that this demon is here."
"Demon, ha, ironic coming from an Aporyion. Oh the words I could use to describe you and your Morrowav overlords. Each one less flattering than the last." Araxium growled.
"Enough!" David shouted. "Someone help my friend here or so help me I'll start killing everyone." David snapped.
After a moment of silence, Araxium moved into action. "Lay her here on the table," he said while sweeping away equipment, scaring off the Aporyion crew members that manned it. "The blade will need to be removed, it will not be pleasant."
"You're a doctor?" David raised his brow as he laid Sasha down.
"No. I'm a survivor." Araxium chuckled as he reached into a satchel on his right flank. The Aporyions nervously watched as he produced a few medical tools fit for the field.
"Good enough." David nodded as he moved to Sasha's side. "Anything else hurt?" He asked. She shook her head and David breathed a sigh of relief. "Ok... Let's get you patched up." He tried to move to help, but stopped as Sasha grabbed his arm. She signed slowly, causing David to look back at the door. "I don't know... They took him."
Sasha slowly nodded and looked to the ceiling. Araxium held a piece of blackened wood up to her face. "Chew on this. It will help." He offered. She hesitated at first, but obeyed, biting down on it.
"What is that gonna help with?" David inquired.
"This," Araxium grabbed the knife and ripped it out, causing Sasha to suddenly thrash and slam a fist into the table. She screamed as he moved to inject some sort of foam into her wound. The pain slowly subsided and she dropped the blackened wood from her mouth. "Our medicine is not as fancy as Aporyions, but it will stop the bleeding.
"Wait a minute what will it do to her?!" David shouted as he suddenly looked to ensure she wasn't reacting to it abnormally.
"The alternative was bleeding out. Our blades are designed to rip and tear. Would that be preferred?" Araxium folded his arms as Sasha's breathing slowed.
"Next time warn me before-"
"It's fine," A soft feminine voice came from the table with a thick eastern European accent. David looked down to Sasha's hollow eyes as she gazed up at him. She turned to Araxium and nodded. "Thank you... The pain... Is leaving."
"You are welcome." Araxium nodded before turning to Invil. "Now... What to do with you." He grinned, but suddenly perked up as alarm bells began to go off.
"Captain! We're being targeted!" A crew member shouted.
"Get us out of here! Warp to the nearest system!" Invil shouted. His eyes gazed up at the viewport to see the Hvista ship firing its first salvo.
(More to come, Later!)

CoverVol.1PreviousNext
MapsWiki+DiscordRoyal RoadWebNovelTapasKo-FiFandom/wiki Remember, the end of the volume recap is coming; make sure you check that out. She's a big one. And yes, I know I'm splitting these chapters weirdly. It's because the recap is just that big. ---
King Maxwellās POV Mmmā¦yesā¦today is another good day. The soreness in my arms just wonāt go away. What a wonderful feeling. Me? Sore? Itās been yearsā¦that man is truly something. My only regret is that I didnāt get to meet him sooner. āAh, Your Majesty, are you injured? You keep nursing your arm as if you are in painā¦ā Arbra asked hesitantly.
I just chuckled at her concern. āThere is nothing to worry about, Arbra! Itās a good pain that your magic would only take away from me!ā
Arbra bowed deeply. āIām so sorry, Your Majesty, I had no idea!ā she shouted. āPlease forāā
Sighā¦this is also why I like Kaladin so much. I feel as if he doesnāt care that Iām the king and treats me like a comrade. Well, he wants to, but whatever sense of formality he has keeps getting in the way. Itās been too long since Iāve been around those kinds of people. I wish he would just forget that I was a ruler. Arbra looked up at me with teary eyes. āHāhave I offended you?ā
I gave the poor girl a pat on the shoulder. āWhy are you crying, Arbra? Raise your head. People might think that I abuse you or something. Iām simply just thinking about this and that. Pay no mind to me.ā
Arbraās smile returned as she wiped her eyes with her sleeve. Sometimes people like her could be so burdensome, but sheās a good soul and a trusted healer. If I could call old man Paine, Iād like nothing more, but I could hardly do that for such a personal reason.
I just wonder when she is comingā¦you know, come to think of it, I never did ask Kaladin if it was Sylvia. I just assumed it would be her, after all. Her strength has been recorded more than once. She felled a Troll with ease and can even train with Kaladin on equal footing. Plus, she was some kind of ancient Vampire that could survive even the strike of a Dragon? If somebody was on the verge of being a War God, it had to be her, right?
āI already know she is a War God. She has the aptitude. She is just missingā¦something. And sadly, I donāt know what that something is.ā What an exciting thing to say to someone. It almost sounded like a hopeful parent that was full of themselves. A person should be very aware if they are a War God or not. At a young age, the differences might not be noticeable, but they should become evident over time. But since it was Kaladin that said that, I had to believe the manās intuition.
āYour Majesty, may I ask why you have retrieved me so suddenly? Are you expecting another fightā¦āArba asked meekly.
āAh, I suppose I did abruptly rip you from your duties. But it seems you already answered your own question!ā I laughed. āIām here on a personal favor from a friend!ā
She gave me a blank look. āHuh? Friend?ā
I slapped her on the shoulder a few times and nodded while I looked out at the courtyard. āYes! A friend! Haha!ā
Now thenā¦oh? Whoāohā¦itās her? Huh⦠interesting. Breathtaking long muscular legs that strode through the halls, hair as white as the freshest snow, and a face straight out of a painting. Iād only seen her from a distance but she was truly a beautiful woman. To think Kaladin could surround himself with such beauties and remain unaffected. Heās as strong-willed as they came.
My daughters are nothing to scoff at, but they need to get their heads out of the mud! Haha! āYo! Ahā¦damnā¦Celia!?ā I yelled. āThatās your name, right?! Come!ā
Damn, I should have read her file more. I didnāt think much about it, and my concerns have lied elsewhere recently. ā¦
āIt appears she is ignoring you, Your Majesty,ā Abra commented as the woman continued to walk down the hall.
āWell, thatās rude,ā I muttered as I picked a clump of snow up and reared back. āHaha! This should grab her attention!ā I yelled as I tossed the snowball.
Whoosh. āIt appears she dodged your attack, Your Majesty,ā Abra stated.
āThanks, Abra. I appreciate the narration,ā I mumbled.
She dodged at the last moment, and whatās with that disgusted look on her face? And waitāwait! Why is she walking away?! āNow, I canāt stand for that!ā I yelled as I took off toward her.
Once again, she flicked around at the last moment and batted my arm away. It seemed her instincts were pretty good, but thatās to be expected from a Beastmen.
I intended on testing her today anyway, so letās find out what Kaladin sees in this girl! āShow me what you got!ā I chuckled.
Of course, I had no intentions of going all out. I just planned on picking up the pace a bit. I wonder if that sword was just for decoration!
I put a little more
oomph into the next series of attacks, and she unsheathed her sword and deftly parried and blocked my attacks. Her speed was pretty good, and she had no trouble reading my simple attacks, so letās go a step further!
Letās see some footwork! I stepped into her aggressively and started swinging with more precision, randomizing my punches as I forced her onto her back foot. She gave a short slice at my exposed ribs, and I coated the strike zone in crystal. I had purposely left myself open to see if she would capitalize, and she did just that.
I jumped back and crossed my arms, and went into deep thought. I had to examine her in a more favorable light now. She was indeed skilled as she was beautiful. Her footwork and blade skills were well-honed. Not perfect by any means, but far better than most.
My only critique at this moment was that she seemed too practiced. One could swing a sword under instruction all day for eternity, but if they never put that practice into any worthwhile experience, it would amount to nothing but eye candy. Even so, saying she was entirely without experience wasnāt right eitherā¦mmmā¦
And there was something off about it all. Her swings and her stance didn't seem to match her weapon choice. She was using a typical iron sword, but her movements and stance indicated she was used to something a bit heftier.
Does this mean there is an imbalance in her skills, practice, and experience? Or is she perhaps holding back? Mhmā¦I wonder if she is using a weapon thatās not her primary one. Only people who want to hide their power do that. Is that why Kaladin sees she has the aptitude but isnāt able to apply them Noā¦more testing is needed before I can come to a decision. Iām getting pumped already! Haha! āTo think Iād be this serious! All you young ones are impressive these days!ā I said with a laugh.
The girl looked at me like I was a strange creature. Suddenly a black stone tablet materialized from thin air, and she started writing on it.
the tablet read, the lettering glowing a faint blue light.
I could feel my jaw drop. āWho am I?ā I asked in utter disbelief.
The Beastmen nodded her head, her confused look not disappearing. I tapped my head to make sure my crown was still there. āThere is a crown on my head! Iām the king! What is there to be confused about?ā
A flash of understanding crossed her face as she started writing on the tablet with her finger.
Muscleā¦boundā¦pervert?
ā¦
I heard somebody gasping and looked back at Abra, who was white as a sheet and wholly mortified. I guess she must have read the tablet and had quite the shock. But meā¦I couldnāt contain my laughter.
āThatās a new one! To think you would insult me directly to my face! You are, without a doubt, a friend of Kaladinās!ā I yelled into the afternoon air.
But wait a momentā¦that collarā¦is she his friend? Have I been rude and insulted his fiance orā¦mhmā¦questions to be answered, Iām sure.
āNow that youāve connected the dots, itās time for a true test! Iāll be getting serious, so prepare yourself, Cela!ā I shouted as I bounded toward her.
She gave me a slightly miffed look before the tablet disappeared, and her sword blocked my first strike. But now, I would test her strength. Beastmen werenāt just known for their heightened senses and speed but also for their strength! I can already tell Kaladin has trained her just by looking at her body!
I brought both my fists up and sent them down with the full intention of crushing her with pure strength. Before, I hadn't been putting much effort into my strikes, but now every blow from me would come at a cost if it connected. The only way to see someoneās true worth was to put them in danger!
āOh! As strong as you are beautiful!ā I yelled in excitement, hoping to get a reaction out of her.
But she didnāt even react to my words as she blocked my double power strike with the strength befitting a War God candidate. I wonder if she was perhaps what the Beastmen called a Child of The Hunt? A rare individual amongst their race. Even though I donāt quite understand the qualifications for what makes a Beastmen a Child of The Hunt, I know they are supposed to be quite strong.
I mean, her mana enhancement was where it needed to be! No doubts about itā
Huh? A spell core?
I couldnāt help but marvel at the feeling of a spell core suddenly being formed in front of me. Its instantaneous formation from her feet was nothing short of pure talent and skill. And she did that all while maintaining her mana enhancement, not so much as faltering even an inch.
I let the spell hit my chest, which was covered in my crystal, and broke away from our little grapple. Tiny ice spears floated around her, and she aimed her sword at me. I just laughed, which probably made her angry, judging by her expression.
She was just like Kaladin, and they were just like those taught in the Holy Kingdom of Arotal. That ability to cast magic and form spell cores without a drop in mana enhancement was a talent many high-ranking officials from that country possessed.
It took me almost a decade to unlearn my habits and learn their technique, and even then, I could only copy it. I donāt mean to brag, but I was a cut above the rest. I tried to teach their technique to all three of my children, but none of them could learn it. Even Bowen was unable to perform the technique.
To be honest, it was a technique only those who possessed talent and were brought up with it could learn. I thought Kaladin was simply a genius of that caliber, but now Iāve seen a pattern.
Who trained those two? Alanis was not capable of using that technique either, so does that mean it was The Lightning Witch? Ahā¦Iām just so excited.
I burst forward and crushed down the spells that were thrown at me. Most of them I ignored, allowing them to break harmlessly against my body. It was slightly annoying that she wasnāt putting more strength into her spells. If she could manifest them this quickly, I expected the power to be more!
I guess I just need to show her how serious I am.
I increased my speed suddenly and arrived in front of her. Her amber-orange eyes went wide. She managed to block my fists, but this entire time I had only used them. She tried to react, but she was too slow for me. My kick landed on her quad with a meaty smack followed by a loud crack. She buckled to the floor and yelped in pain. I had broken her leg.
A flurry of ice spikes came at me, and I retreated instead of finishing her off. I wasnāt done testing her yet. I was far too curious to end things so soon.
āArbra! Heal her leg!ā I ordered.
Arbra scurried off from the side, mumbling apologies to her as a golden light left her hands and infused the injury. Celia looked to be in quite a bit of pain, but a moment of confusion appeared in her eyes only to disappear. She stood on her freshly healed leg without a lick of hesitation.
So an injury like that is nothing to her? Sure, she reacted to the pain, but thatās only natural. To stand right back up after having your leg healed isnāt normal. It appears her will was quite tempered. And those eyesā¦
Her eyes blazed with a cold fury that wasnāt there before. She dropped her sword into a low guard, a position that was more suited for a long or even a great sword, and I felt a powerful spell core being formed.
A gust of wind blasted me, and a blizzard suddenly appeared around me. The cold wind whipped at my exposed skin, and I could feel minor cuts on my face.
Finally, show me what Kaladin sees in you!
I swatted down an incoming spell core only to be momentarily covered in water. I hadnāt expected her to be able to use water magic while maintaining this silent blizzard, which was another odd phenomenon. Only for my surprise to grow as I felt a powerful wind arrow approaching me.
It cut through the blizzard and had enough power to rip a limb off, but I batted it away. I was buffeted by powerful spell after spell, and I couldnāt contain my laughter. I thought the speed at which she formed her spells was at least the skill of a Master mage, but to think she could use three schools of magic to this proficiency. Of course, she may just be a Grandmaster mage, but I felt that something was off.
I decided I was done gauging those spells and burst through the blizzard right at her. She had positioned herself behind me using her magic as cover and near silent steps. Beastmen were also tricky ones. They seemed to be able to disappear from most peopleās senses when they wanted to.
But not mine.
I punched forward and expected a look of surprise, but Celia was more than ready for me. I was greeted by two large ice spikes aiming for my legs and a sword aiming to cut my head off my shoulders. I kicked one of the spikes down and used its debris against her, sending chunks of ice magic into her face, only for those chunks to melt into harmless water that splattered against her face.
Amazing, she was maintaining control over her spells the entire time while also striking at me. Truly fantastic, I thought as I slipped under her swing.
I punched her underneath the leather breastplate and grabbed Celia by the belt, and gave her a good toss into the wall, just like olā Kaladin. But unlike Kaladin, I was ready to end things here, orā¦so I thought.
Amazing. Truly amazing. Iām actually feeling the need to preserve my life. How long has it been?
I felt dozens of spell cores form around me, and the puddle I stood in turned into a creeping frost that threatened to consume me. Dozens of ice spears formed from the snow left by the blizzard, and I watched as a wall of ice formed only for the girl to use it to bounce rebound off of and aim straight for me once more.
She had completely changed the battlefield to suit her, something very few mages could do, let alone at the level she showed. And it appeared she even led me by the nose. How far ahead did she plan all of this? Did she anticipate these things the moment she used the blizzard to distract me and morph the battlefield?
But I also understood what Kaladin meant when he said she had the āaptitude.ā Why she felt so close yet so far, she had all these well-honed skills and even put them into practical use. And despite having the upper hand on me.
It just wasnāt enough.
I forced mana into my body at a much greater rate and felt the familiar feeling of my crystals enveloping me. Her spells crashed against me, but I remained steadfast as I moved forward. Her eyes widened again in surprise, and it was the last thing I saw before I grabbed her by the face and sent her face down into the snowy soil with a loud boom.
I turned my head slowly. āArbra, heal her,ā I ordered.
Arbra slowly nodded her head like she was in a daze. āIāll be gone for a while. I have an old friend to find. Please see to it that she is comfortable.ā

Bowen Taurusās POV
I gave the door a solid knock and announced myself. āI have arrived as you requested, Your Majesty.ā
āGood! Hurry up and come in, old friend!ā the king bellowed.
Sighā¦would it kill him to uphold a little bit of digniāhuh?
āCerila? Whyā¦why is she here? Why is she unconscious?ā
The king smacked his fist into a meaty palm. āAh! Her name was Cerila! Thatās why she was annoyed with me!ā he said with a chuckle. But he puffed his lips out at me. āAnd unconscious? Why are you assuming that? Maybe she is just sleeping.ā
I just sighed and shook my head. āThe girl may be deaf, but your incensive laughter could wake the dead.ā
King Maxwell looked at me with an expression of surprise as his head snapped back and forth between the sleeping Cerila and me. āSheās deaf? Like really deaf? No hearing at all?ā
āThatās rightā¦please tell me you knew that,ā I muttered in disbelief. I could feel a headache coming on.
āThat makes so much sense. I thought she was just shy or a mute,ā the king mumbled to himself. āTell me, why hasnāt anyone healed her? She is close to Kaladin, no?ā
I walked into the room and sat down in an available chair. āIāve already spoken with them on the matter. She was born deaf, and not even a Grandmaster light mage could heal her ears. SoāYour Majesty?ā
Bishop wore a thoughtful expression. His deep blue eyes were wide and searching for something, and I felt my skin start to crawl somewhat when he looked at me. āA Grandmaster light mage, you sayā¦tell me, is that confirmed?ā he asked, his voice lacking the friendly tone he typically used.
Itās been a long time since Iāve seen him like this, not since he first started to investigate Kaladin.
āIāve heard the same thing from three different sources, including Cerila when I spoke with her at great length. I have no reason to believe any of them are lying to me at this point. The girl is completely deaf,ā I explained.
King Maxwell rubbed his chin slowly. āSoā¦do we know who trained Kaladin and this girl?ā
Wait, I thought he cared more about her deafnessā¦what is this about?
āKaladin has mentioned to me before that his teacher was his grandfather,ā I told him.
The king looked even more surprised at that but quickly shook his head. āThatās impossible. Neither of those old Elves would have come into contact withāā
āThatās because it wasnāt a blood-related grandfather but an adoptive one of sorts. Iāve met him once or twice now. Heās an old Human man at the end of his life. And appears to be quite smart and witty despite his declining age. He often teaches the young ones various skills at my spare home.ā
āAn old Human manā¦isnāt Kaladin from Synānari?ā the king trailed off.
Wait!
I shot out of my seat. āWait a momentā¦a Grandmaster light mage in Synānari⦠are you suggesting their teacher and Grandfather is a remnant of the Holy King invasion force?ā
The king smirked and crossed his arms. āItās not a suggestion. Itās almost a guarantee at this point.ā
I ran a hand through my beard. āThe old man referred to himself as a doctor, so I never questioned why he considered himself to be one. Even Kaladinās parents call him Dr. Jacobs. And the man doesnāt seem to be pious or even wear symbols of the faith. I never connected these points because I didnāt think they were relevant.ā

2023.03.30 17:30 hallach_halil Halil's top 10 offensive tackles of the 2023 NFL Draft:
| https://preview.redd.it/h7yadmh65wqa1.png?width=900&format=png&auto=webp&s=71a68dc9f771977f95c872af0a8310a93c2f0d94 Weāve arrived at the big-boy portion of our positional draft rankings! After already breaking down the best running backs, linebackers, wide receivers and cornerbacks of this class, we will spend these next two weeks talking about the guys inside the trenches both inside and out for offense and defense ā and we are starting with the offensive tackle position! I believe there are four small-dunk first-round players among this group, who can all be week-one starters, with varying degrees of technical advancement compared to physical upside. After that, there are five names, who Iād have no problem with all going inside the top-75, including a couple of athletic specimen, who arenāt close to the potential of players they can become one day. At number ten, thereās one more highly talented prospect, who may actually go earlier than a few names I have listed above him, based on the ceiling he presents. After that, youāre looking at more so serviceable players, who will largely be backups, along with a couple of underdeveloped kids you may want to take a flyer on day three, if you have the edges of your O-line secured for now. Just to clarify ā North Dakota Stateās Cody Mauch will see his name listed among the interior offensive line. Hereās how I have this group stacked up: https://preview.redd.it/7ec6hum75wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d812a7c348e35b9bd2b8185c93b8e4c20ac075e0 1. Paris Johnson, Ohio State 6ā6ā, 315-pounds; RS SO The top-rated offensive tackle in the 2020 class, Johnson saw the field for just 22 snaps as a true freshman, before taking over as the full-time starter at right guard in ā21 and earning second-team All-Big Ten honors (13 games). Last year he improved to consensus first-team and second-team All-American this past year, when he moved out to left tackle. His steady presence on C.J. Stroudās blindside enabled the Buckeyes to finish first (45.7) and second (44.2) respectively in points per game in FBS these past two seasons. + The grip strength, demeanor and leg-drive are all there in the run game and he really works up through contact to create that momentum + Out at tackle, he can really widen that edge and cover up guys responsible for contain, routinely allowing backs to stretch out and get out to the corner or cut underneath, At guard, you saw him come in from the side on nose-tackles to push them over into the opposite A-gap, so that guy canāt two-gap + Shows the hip mobility to reach-block three-techniques, as well as come off combos late and get a piece of the linebacker, while having some extra room for error if his angles up to the second level arenāt perfect + With the way he covers ground on zone concepts, Johnson can execute fold-blocks and make the job easier for the guard inside of him, to just seal the down-lineman + Swiftly establishes the inside foot and gets his base turned, in order to force edge defenders to have to go through him on the backside of gap schemes + Gets after second-level defenders with tremendous urgency and you actually see him seal off true MIKEs straight over the center at times + His dexterity to twist defenders and get his lower body turned simultaneously to open up lanes is highly impressive, You saw that when LBs try to blitz the play-side gap and he pins them away from it, to present a wide hole (B-gap at guard) + Displays good awareness for defenses walking down a linebacker late outside him and how that changes responsibilities on run schemes + Clearly has that mobility to play in space, with impressive success getting his hands on corners and safeties in the screen game + Johnson features a well-coordinated, patient kick-slide and uses his wingspan well to not present a free B-gap + Arms for days at just over 36 inches and edge rushers have to take wider angles consistently, while being able to stab with the inside arm at the near-shoulder to actively elongate those + With those long branches and strong upper body to control rushers even if his elbows are outside his frame + Smooth lateral mover, to stay in front of inside counters and help out on the interior in a hurry, if his man drops out + It also enables him to slide in front of interior linemen in the play-action game and full-line slides before they can even get that first step down regularly + When defenders sell out for the bull-rush and create movement, Johnson can increase his step frequency and knee bend to re-anchor effectively + No problem at all flipping and riding aggressive upfield rushers towards his own end-zone + Shows the ability to recover and still ride loopers off track, as he has to transition on delayed T-E twists + Playing at guard, you saw Johnson actively looking for work if he doesnāt have a direct assignment, delivering some significant chips from the side, And that transitioned along with moving out to tackle, where week one against Notre Dame, the next-closest rusher ended up being in the A-gap and he still made sure that guy hit the ground + Did allow two sacks last year, but only one other QB hit across 910 pass-blocking snaps since the start of 2021 (26 non-sack pressures) ā His base can get a little narrow as he churns his legs in the run game and it may lead to him landing on the turf more regularly against pros ā Tends to stop his feet when he throws his hands and heavily relies on the two-handed punch ā he will need to adapt more independent hand usage ā His hands overall are pretty high and wide, particularly picking up loopers and blitzers ā Thereās room to still get stronger, when it comes to swallowing initial power and snatch guys late, not allowing them to escape as plays are being extended ā Can overstride at times selling play-action and allow his D-end to slip inside of him Based on his height and general skill-set, Johnson was a miscast at right guard as a redshirt freshman in 2021, but did show he can excel in the run game right away. Once he moved to his designated position at left tackle this past season, the pass-blocking skills were able to shine as well. Heās one of the smoothest athletes you will find for the position, yet has the strength in his hands to take control in both facets of the game. Where I do believe he needs to improve is not using two-handed punches regularly and his base to anchor against power leaves things to be desired at this point. Considering what an easy mover he is and the length he possesses to counter-act that, those should be fixable areas though. I do believe heās best suited for a zone-based rushing attack, where his mobility and leg-drive can really shine, rather than just blowing defenders off the ball vertically, but thereās upside to utilize him even more as a puller across the formation or out towards the perimeter. I donāt see Johnson making it out of the top-15. https://preview.redd.it/vmdtyszl5wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7337fd02380eb6f7fb215fc5886678b58137176 2. Broderick Jones, Georgia 6ā5ā³, 315 pounds; JR Right outside the top-10 overall recruits in 2020, Jones only started four games over his first two seasons (all at left tackle in 2021). He ook over on the blindside this past season and was absolutely dominant, paving the way for a Georgia offense that averaged 500 yards and 41.1 points per game (fifth nationally), which made it all the way to an undefeated championship season (their second straight title). Jones himself was named first-team All-SEC. + Jones has good girth in all the right areas, without any excess weight in the mid-section + Imposing road-grader in the run game, Gets after people whether the score is 0-0 or his team is up by 50 + This guy regularly tosses the edge defender on the front-side of zone runs out of the way and forces linebackers to fill the B-gap in a hurry + Can absolutely blow D-tackles off their landmarks when coming in on an angle on double-teams, particularly in short-yardage and goal-line situations + If he gets underneath the arm-pit of linemen, he can wash them down and create significant cutback opportunities, And he has the grip strength to twist defenders out of running lanes, even if he canāt block down on an angle + Understands when he has to add a gather-step against wider alignments, to not presents easy opportunities for edge defenders to jump inside of his blocks + On combo-blocks his eyes are usually up and he doesnāt struggle to work up to the backer with space, with the force in his hands to shove them to the ground + Regularly was utilized as a puller on GT power, where heās light on his feet as he skips out of his stance but heavy at contact, and has the reactionary agility to adjust on the fly + This dude is scary to be in front of on screens and pulling out to the corner, where most defenders try to go low on him, to avoid getting thrown around + Even if his technique isnāt perfect yet, Jones presents the athletic lower half and strong upper body to ride edge rushers off track + If defenders go into the chest of him, they quickly realize thereās not much they can do anymore + You rarely see guys turn the corner when engaged with Jones, where they try to dip-and-rip, but he still guides them enough off track to not affect the QB + He packs a lot of strength in those hands, to widen their arc significantly or push them into the pile, if they try to quickly crash inside + Linebackers trying to get around Jones on delayed blitzes seem to have no clue how to actually approach this and are content with just standing there with his arms extended + When Jonesā guy slants away from him and heās unoccupied, he delivers some devastating rib-shots on somebody tangled up with one of his teammates + Watching the 2022 season-opener 49-3 destruction of Oregon, the pass-pro reps for Jones was so clean throughout the day and he completely shut guys out trying to work against him + Wasnāt responsible for a single sack and just nine other pressures across 470 pass-blocking snaps this past season + Ran the best 40 time among all O-linemen in Indy this year at 4.97 and his movement during the on-field drills was well-coordinated ā His feet can get a little heavy late and defenders are able to work off his blocks, where youād want more flexion in the lower rather than upper half, and thatās in part due to imperfect hand-placement ā Too often in 2022, youād see Jones drop his eyes when initiating contact in both facets of the game, and defenders being able to pull him off ā Makes himself vulnerable to inside counters on a regularly basis, when he should keep his shoulders and hips squared, but instead opens up to the edge rusher, who doesnāt even have the angle to beat him around the corner ā When he did face a legit speed-rusher in LSUās B.J. Ojulari, you saw him punch with the outside hand and had that left foot in the air as well, creating a soft shoulder to get past ā Has to do a better job of coming to balance at times when working up the field in the screen game, as guys have the ability to side-step him This is still clearly an ascending tackle prospect, who wonāt turn 22 years old until after the draft and only logged 19 career starts at the Bulldogs. However, his natural talent stood out right away and he was already one of the premiere players at his position in his first season as a full-time starters, despite facing a loaded slate of SEC edge defenders. Now, some of those guys were actually the ones who gave him trouble, because they could threaten the edges of his frame off the snap and were more technically advanced, but thereās no reason to believe he wonāt be able to get to that level sooner rather than later, with the natural power he possesses and the awareness he showed as a young player already. I want to see him eliminate this nasty little habit of not keeping his chin up, but in terms of brute force in the run game and ability to snatch up pass-rushers, he has a chance to turn into the most complete guy of the bunch. https://preview.redd.it/iqar1p3q5wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=299f9090e1cf7f3cd0671e52795acdad55ed18d3 3. Peter Skoronski, Northwestern 6ā4ā, 300 pounds; JR Slightly outside the top-100 overall recruits in 2020, Skoronski stepped in at left tackle as a true freshman and was named to the All-Freshman team, when Rashawn Slater decided to sit out the season due to COVID concerns. Then he improved to a first-team All-Big Ten performer in 2021, which he repeated this past season, along with being a unanimous first-team All-American. His grandfather Bob Skoronski was a starter and team captain for all five of Vince Lombardiās championship teams. + The best compliment I can give Skoronski is that his tape can be almost boring at times, because every rep is clean and thereās not much to note + His aiming points and angles are excellent for such a young player + Operates from a wide base and with good leg-drive, while lifting up through contact with his elbows in tight + Does well to establish positioning with the inside foot sealing edge defenders on the backside of run concepts + Gets underneath the arm pit of D-tackles on angular blocks and rides them down the line + Brings plus grip strength and ability to twist bodies to expand running lanes, along with the dexterity to keep his hands latched as defenders try to slip or turn away from contact + Consistently works with square shoulders and stays tight to his teammate on vertical combos, to maximize force and not allow defenders to split those + Patient and under control working up to the second level, being able to get under the chest with great consistency + Also getting out to the corner on fly sweeps or those completely horizontal handoffs, he rarely overruns targets, just blindly hustling out there + Somehow people are inferring that Skoronski isnāt a great athlete, when he tested in the 70th percentile or better among all combine events other than the three-cone and his jumps were 96th and 97th percentile respectively + Already a very sound and comfortable pass-protector, who consistently is first off the ball, gets to his landmarks and doesnāt throw his technique out of the window + Shows an understanding for the depth of the pocket and how to manipulate rush angles, along with the easy lateral movement to mirror guys across multiple moves + Adjusts the length of his initial dependent on where combat will occur and is able beat wide-nine alignments to the spot + His hands are so consistent with landing inside the frame of rushers and controlling reps, because they typically stay attached throughout + Varies his approach and excels at using his arms in independent fashion, whether heās trying to widen guys with the inside hand or wants to take charge off them on power rushes + Rarely does his weight shift too far to the outside foot and heās ready to negate angles as guys are trying to slice through the inside shoulder + Extends his inside arm when deciphering through the pressure and is ready to redirect towards guys slanting to the B-gap if thereās no threat off the edge + His feel for shuffling along and how to pick up loopers with the two-handed strike, to guide their path is impressive for a young player + Allowed just two sacks on nearly 700 snaps as a true freshman and did the same in ā21 on over 800, along with 18 additional pressures, However he quietly just had his best season in that regard (one sack, two QB hits and three hurries) ā The big hold-up with Skoronski of course is only having 32 and ¼-inch arms, while I also believe he played below 310-pound mark ā You see edge rushers really create problems for him with long-arm maneuvers, where he canāt place his hands or has the kind of super-strong base to just swallow those ā It can also show up in the run ground where guys can just out-reach him and therefore pull him off when leaning into contact ā Doesnāt create a whole lot of knock-back at first contact with his strike generally and you rarely see him take linebackers for a ride, the way youād like to ā While I love with how much control he plays, at times Iād appreciate a little more urgency to just negate space in the first instance rather than trying to establish position At the risk of sounding like a cop-out, itās pretty easy to find a comparison in terms of player profile for Skoronski, if we just go to the guy he replaced at Northwestern, in Rashawn Slater. I do believe the now-Pro Bowler was a greater athlete, particularly with some of the insane stuff he did in the weightroom, to balance out length concern. However, Skoronski is clearly the most technically advanced tackle in the 2023 class. The way he fits his hands and is able to transfer force from the ground up in the run game, along with reading rushers and using different combat-maneuvers to counter them, are tremendous. Thereās not much to criticize on tape, but you just wonder how high his ceiling may be, due to always having a disadvantage in that one area. Ultimately, I believe a team will start him out at tackle and he will play it at a pretty high level, but he transitions inside a couple of years into his pro career. Having him down at number three almost feels wrong, but it only speaks to the strength of the top of this class, as Skoronski will be a top-15 overall prospect for me. https://preview.redd.it/bd049ort5wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6aea2dbe7a850332f4d80c96bca7674e425a104f 4. Darnell Wright, Tennessee 6ā6ā, 335 pounds; SR The number two offensive tackle recruit in 2019 behind only Alabama standout and now-Giant Evan Neal, Wright started seven of eleven games as a true freshman (five at right tackle, two at right guard) and then nine of ten available for in year two (all at RT). In 2021 he started all 13 games at left tackle and helped the Tennessee offense score a team-record 511 points, before moving back to the right side this past season, when the Vols immediately broke that record (599) and Dwight was recognized individually as a first-team All-SEC performer. + When you look at this guy, everything you see screams āpowerā at you + Shows a natural ability to sink his hips and work up through contact, to create movement on angular blocks + Youāre just not going to rock this guyās pads backwards or squeeze him down on backside seal-blocks + Has the explosiveness out of his stance to work cross-/fold-blocks and skip pulls in the run game + For a man his size, the agility in short areas and flexibility in his lower half to reach-block edge defenders on fly sweeps is pretty impressive + Just engulfs smaller bodies stepping down or replacing edge defenders, when he comes across the line on kick-outs + Really strong with that inside arm, to extend and create that little bit of extra movement, while riding bodies on the interior into the trash when given the opportunity + Can create some significant momentum on B-gap defenders as the angular element to combo blocks by accelerating his feet through the target + Showcases the dexterity to keep his hands in place with the hips of the man heās responsible for, as theyāre trying to slice past, and he rides them off their landmarks + Doesnāt look uncomfortable getting out in space and has the natural power to put defenders on the ground by just getting a hand on them + His feet are quick enough to match legit speed off the edge and then sit down to not allow himself to be ridden into the quarterbackās space at the top of the arc + Shows good awareness for that platform of the guy padding the ball back there and when to flip with the rusher, to ride him past that point + His base is so strong, that even when rushers seem to set up speed-to-power well, Wright can stymie their charge and force them to look for different strategies + Can work in some independent hand usage to keep rushers in line with his frame, along with really snatching cloth and dropping his hips, in order to take control of reps + Displays impressive body-control, to quickly puts his outside foot back down and mirror inside moves, even by twitchy guys at nearly 100 pounds less + Once rushers get off balance, he can quickly put them on the ground and exploits of the opportunity to jump on top of them + Extremely battle-tested against a collection of impressive SEC edge rushers and more than held his own ā Allowed just one hurry all day against Alabama in 2022, largely going up against a lock for the top-five in Will Anderson, who simply couldnāt work his typical speed-to-power against him + Didnāt give up a single sack and just eight total pressures across 507 pass-blocking snaps this past season ā Carries a little excess weight in the mid-section Iād say and heās not quite up to par with the top-three guys in terms of foot quickness ā Doesnāt consistently play up to his size and brings the aggression to create displacement in the run game, while other times he gets his weight shifted too far out in front as he really goes for it (partially due to the type of offense the Volunteers ran) ā Gets too far over his skis at times and ends up stumbling forward when he canāt connect with his hands as D-linemen reduce their surface area ā While you like the mobility to get to the second level, he doesnāt break down and secure blocks consistently enough to take care of his assignments ā Regularly late off the snap and has a certain up-kick to his pass-sets, which didnāt become as much of a problems with less than a quarter of his work being labelled as ātrue pass-setsā by PFF (tons of RPOs, screens, etc.) Iāve been a fan of Wright for a while now and heās been ascending his draft stock throughout this process. He came in at a massive 342 pounds for Senior Bowl week, yet he showcased impressive movement skills, effortlessly mirroring a couple of spin moves, along with taking the fight to more power-based string, showcasing his strong upper half. Then he moved around extremely well during the on-field drills at the combine and you heard those bags pop when he landed his punches in pass-pro. This guy has 2746 career snaps with full years starting at both left and right tackle, put together an incredible track record against a murderous row of SEC edge defenders. So I have no doubt that he should and will go in the first round. Iād like to see him enforce his power on a more consistent basis and thereās a little bit of a tweak that he has to work on his kick-slide, but I donāt think thereās much of a gap between him and what is generally accepted as the ābig threeā at offensive tackle. https://preview.redd.it/2bantyhz5wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e0735a47dece55582f30d1e5c2ed70a20c791b0 5. Dawand Jones, Ohio State 6ā6ā, 350 pounds; SR Just outside the top-1000 overall recruits in 2019, Jones appeared in nine games as a true freshman and then in six of eight contests in the COVID-shortened following campaign, including his first start, In 2021, he started all 13 games and was a second-team All-Big Ten selection for the Buckeyes, which he repeated this past season, Then last year he was a second-team All-American, as a mainstay on that right edge + Massive upper half and can knock defenders off balance when he just lands those hands in the run game, And with the long arms he can deliver that last push to get the man further off track to create room late + I thought overall Jonesā urgency off the snap and willingness to impose himself physically was a lot better in 2022 + You see him dish out some literal two-handed shoves to blow the front-side wide open + When he grabs the shoulder-plate and extends though, you see put guys flat on their backs at times, especially linebackers mugged up in the gap + If D-ends try to crash across him face on the backside of zone runs, he will wash them way down the line and optically show the ball-carrier to cut back behind him + Because of how massive he is, when he tries to reach-block guys on the edge, they often try to peak around and get off balance, to where he can ride them along and allow the back to stay behind his block + Yet, if heās tasked with simply sealing the back-side, extending that outside arm in the chest of edge guys and bringing the opposite hip-around is very effective + When he arrives at the party, with no direct assignment, he can help move the significantly and allow the ball-carrier to hide behind that wall or push through it + Some of his tape is just hilarious to watch, when he puts guys on the ground seemingly without breaking a sweat + Offers a quick jump out of his stance to cut off the angle for edge rushers, has his hands ready at his mid-section and is patient with his punch + The way he snatches and traps guys when they do get closer to his body makes him basically negate guys completely + His insane 7ā6ā wingspan allows him to constantly put a hand on defenders before those guys could even get to his frame, and it gives him a ton of room for error in his technique + If guys try to loop wide around him and donāt actively try to find an angle, heās fine sitting back and waiting there, but if he does go for it, those long arms can really stymie rushers in their approach + Even if the outside hand is swatted away, he can push guys further off track by still reaching them with the other arm + When he does overset and rushers create that lane to the quarterback seemingly going underneath, Jones is typically able to ride those guys across the QBās face, to leave him unaffected + Buries guys underneath himself with regularity, if they shift their momentum too far out in front + After surrendering three sacks and eight other pressures in 2021, Jones didnāt even allow his quarterback to be hit once due to him last year and only hurried five times + PFF awarded him with their highest pass-blocking efficiency of any draft-eligible tackle at 99.4 last season ā You see Jones just throw his hands and not move his lower body at times, when he canāt get his body positioned accordingly throughout run plays ā Appears disoriented when his initial assignment is changed post-snap and he has to come up solutions on the fly in that regard ā The way he puts his hands on the face-mask of defenders and some of the pull-downs will be flagged more regularly at the pro level ā Short-setting guys and forcing them to go way around him, because of his size and length, was an effective strategy at the college level, but that wonāt fly in the NFL ā At this point, Jones does get by with his massive frame and length along with natural strength, which wonāt be as prevalent going against pro players, who will force him to get on their level technically Jones only took part in the first practice at the Senior Bowl, but he just stood out from the moment he stepped on the field with his giganteous size and unheard of wingspan. Edge defenders quickly realized that they werenāt going to get through his chest, but the one rep that really stood out to me came during individual run-blocking, where he was supposed to reach-block his man but didnāt gain enough ground laterally with that first step, yet he was able to create so much torque on the far-shoulder of his man, that he ended up turning and pinning that guy inside anyway. Thatās what youāre dealing with here ā an absolute mountain of a man, whose strength and length give him a lot of room for error and when he puts it altogether, he can dominate people. Now, while he has definitely shown technical development, he does heavily rely on his natural gifts and will have to overhaul his pass-sets in order to actually cut off angles for more talented and crafty NFL rushers than heās faced so far. However, he has things you canāt teach and the potential(!) to become a more athletic version of Orlando Brown down the road. https://preview.redd.it/6r479jy16wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38e4af4bec8cae79d514f0146d7eee4df0a6d297 6. Anton Harrison, Oklahoma 6ā4ā³, 310 pounds; JR A four-star recruit in 2020, Harrison already logged over 1000 snaps at left tackle through his first two seasons with the Sooners. As a junior, he started all but on one of 12 regular season game on the blindside yet again (one at right tackle and opted out of the Cheez-It Bowl) and received more recognition on a national scale, when he was named a first-team All-Big 12 performer. + Presents an athletic frame with minimal excess weight and long arms (34 and ¼) + Can create some knock-back as he lands his hands inside the frame of defenders, shoving linebackers off track regularly + Last season I thought he was more assertive near the point of attack, to drive-block edge defenders or block down on three-techniques and get guys off their landmarks + You see him lift stand up D-tackles in order for fellow linemen wrap around behind him regularly + On the backside of wide zone runs, if linebackers try to shoot the B-gaps Harrison hits and rides them way down the line, to open up massive cutback lanes behind him + When guys try to dip underneath him or get around blocks, Harrison typically rides them towards his own end-zone to blow the front-side open + Has the quick burst to help secure the down-linemen on combo blocks and then deliver some force to open up a lane inside of them as somebody from the second level behind it steps down + Bends off the inside foot and uncoils force through defenders in the hole wrapping around on powecounter schemes + Frequently is able to face-plant defenders as he catches them off balance, with one foot off the ground, with the triceps strength to extend and push them down + Makes the job of his teammates a lot easier, when heās passing off down-linemen on front-side combos by extending with the inside arm and allowing the guy next to him to bring his base and secure the block + Rarely overruns his targets in space and forces guys to work around him consistently, being able to put his hands on third-level defenders in the screen game + His 4.98 in the 40 was tied for the second-best mark among all offensive linemen at the combine + Thereās good rhythm and a certain calmness in his kick-slide, with the light feet to guide edge defenders around the loop + Times up his strike as rushers try to throw their hands, frequently hitting them as theyāre off balance and taking them to the ground every once in a while + His initial hand-placement may not be great always and he gets caught with his elbow out wide, but he does work to re-fit them and finds way to gain control + And he finds ways to maximize his length to out-reach his man + Can really snatch rushers as he grabs cloth of guys trying to work through him, without giving them a lane to escape + Plays under good control generally and doesnāt overreact to defensive movement, picking up games and mirroring guys with space to work + Smoothly transitions from the slanting linemen to the looper on E-T twists + Has some impressive recovery moments on tape, where rushers have him on skates and heās somehow able to drop his anchor due to his high-level balance + Allowed just one sack and eight hurries (no QB hits) across 447 pass-blocking snaps in '22 ā Canāt reduce his height very well and you can see them roll his weight over his shoulders at times trying to establish contact with smaller linebackers ā Doesnāt set the tone in the run game like youād want to see for that size, having to become more effective with his hand-placement and re-work the way he transitions force from the ground up ā You see some of that as well in the pass game, when his chest folds forward instead of working with sink in his hips and then he kind of tries to chase after guys up the arc, where if timed correctly can leave the inside lane to the QB completely free ā Carries his hands fairly low and comes in wide with the punch, to where guys who sell out on attacking his chest can take him for a ride a few times, as he doesnāt seem ready to land his hands ā You see that at times when heās not ready for somebody coming his way on twists ā Thereās a few reps, where he tries to ride edge rushers up the field, but he doesnāt maintain contact and that guy is able to slip underneath him Itās never easy projecting tackles in particular going from offensive systems that relied heavily on a few run concepts, off which they build their RPO game and offer limited reps for pass-protectors to prove themselves. The areas of weakness in Harrisonās game right now are pretty clear ā he struggles to bend at the knees and maximizing his power in the run game, while his hands and feet arenāt married regularly enough in pass-pro. On the Brightside, he does bring plenty of shock in his hands and well-coordinated movement to work to the second level, while being light on his feet to deal with speed off the edge and being able to clamp down on guys once he takes control of reps. There is a fairly steep learning curve in front of him, but he has all the physical tools and the mindset to become a plus starter on the blindside, which is why he regularly finds his name late in first-round mock drafts. https://preview.redd.it/nzz0mil56wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=549bb7a2010328440f87267236cc16657fb3744d 7. Matthew Bergeron, Syracuse 6ā5ā, 320 pounds; RS JR Just inside the top-1000 overall recruits in 2019, Bergeron played in 12 and started five game as a true freshman. Other than missing two games this past season, he started all of the other 34 games, with all but three of those at left tackle. He earned honorable mention and then second-team All-ACC accolades most recently, whilst being a team captain in 2022. + Nice girth throughout his frame and effectively rolls his hips through contact to create movement in the run game + Even with sub-optimal hand-placement, he can widen the edge pretty consistently on the front-side of zone concepts + Shows a strong grip with the inside hand, which doesnāt allow edge defenders to back-door or slip his blocks typically + When having to block down on three-techniques who aggressively try to get through his gap, Bergerson does well to get his hand on the defendersā hip and use that momentum against that guy + Does well to on hinge-blocks and just get the job done when tasked with sealing guys on the backside of concepts + In formations with a tight-end next to him, where the C-gap was uncovered, Bergeron effectively was able to able to pick up and ride smaller bodies at the edge of the box out of the picture + You really like what he presents blocking on the move, sweeping around the edge and taking linebackers for a ride or blowing DBs trying to set the edge out of the picture + Was utilized on some skip-pulls, where he would wrap around on GT power plays and looked pretty light on his feet to get to his landmarks + Shows a real plan in his approach as a pass-protector, changing up between quick sets, jumping out of his stance aggressively versus speed-based rushers, etc. + Covers a ton of ground in his kick-sets in order to counter true speed-balls off the edge + Carries his hands at his hips and is ready to punch and counter the movement of rushers + Will land some surprise stabs quickly at the chest of rushers, to throw off the timing of the moves they want to set up + Displays the body-control to re-anchor even when it looks like power rushers are under control of reps + Transitions well on twists by the D-line, whether itās the strong base to absorb force by the initial slanter or the lateral agility to slide in front of the secondary looper + Quickly redirects from the initial kick to a lateral shuffle in order to help out or take over stunting interior defenders, if his man on the edge peels off + Generally can use the momentum of defender to guide them away from the quarterback + Takes advantages of chances to pull off-balance rushers to the ground and pins them down there + While he was officially charged for five sacks by PFF last season, in terms of total pressures he was at 12 compared to 11 the year prior, with 770 combined pass-blocking snaps ā His hands regularly start off high and wide already and he minimizes the force he can apply in the run game, as well as make him vulnerable to get flagged, because the refs can see everything ā Pro Football Focus only credited his with 33 positively graded run plays last season, which I wouldnāt judge as such (in terms of a net plus), but in terms of having his hands latched onto the aiming points, that number is probably about right ā Tends to pick up his inside foot too much, as heās trying to gain ground vertically in his pass-sets and becomes vulnerable against guys with a great long-arm ā Clemsonās Myles Murphy was in control of that matchup for most of the day, even if Myles didnāt get to finish many plays ā Edge rushers frequently are the ones to get their arms inside and Bergeron ends up with his elbows out wide, which limits his ability to slow down power Bergeron has nearly put together the exact same resume during his pre-draft process as Tennesseeās Darnell Wright. Throughout Senior Bowl week, I thought his movement skills in pass-protection were highly impressive, not allowing guys to gain an angle on the quarterback, as well as being able to mirror and shut down some challenging counter moves. And while he didnāt test at the combine, he had a tremendous on-field workout. He looked so light-footed, changed directions and reacted to the coachesā indications without any issues. His hand-placement in both facets of the game drove me wild at times on tape, but that area already looked improved down in Mobile and I also understand that he will receive the type of coaching to see major benefits. How well he carries 320 pounds, being able to cover ground vertically and horizontal in protection, is rare ā and he doesnāt even yet take great advantage of his play-strength all the time. I would not be shocked if he ends up being one of the last few picks of the first round and heās probably a top-50 lock. https://preview.redd.it/mtdi5g886wqa1.jpg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=120cdb6f5301e589e65609dafd49f45750d0eb1f 8.
