Microwave mashed up tofu with nutritional yeast, black salt, pepper, and a spray of the oil of your choice.
You can buy black salt at any Indian market, or via the internet. It is very cheap. Nutritional yeast looks expensive, but only a little is needed and is optional. Really, the only required ingredients are tofu and black salt.

2023.03.24 05:50 tsuki012 scared of revenge porn as a rape victim
i'm 19F, was raped by a non-indian(>25m). He was with his friend, they faked their identity even called themselves hindu( they are actually muslims), showed gita, shiv ling, hanuman challisa, etc in his room and that he prays them..has literally fb accounts dedicated to pro india, pro hindu, all of his friens are indian hindus .He smoothly manipulated me for over a year, befriended me and raped me ... i couldnt tell it to the police as he threatened me that he will easily blame me for it, his friend said his father is bureaucrat and they wont get caught but i will be shamed by everyone, i was scared too and let go. Im now doing better and healing but is scared of revenge porn and my pics he took ..
What are the steps i can take if my pics get leaked given that he is not indian so i cant catch him?
as for details for people who think its fake, i posted about this from my main account ghibli0 on both twox and legal advice .
back in lockdown i met this person online who from the very beginning was seeming to be indian. more like the one from my state wb. He was nationalist, even religious ...i had doubts but he cleared them by showing me shiv ling( he showed me putting milk in it even ), hanuman challisa, bhagwat gita he literally praying them ..i was a religious person . He was bangladeshi so i skeptical but hindus exist in bangladesh ... he gave me his home address and even his ID to show that he could be trusted. He said he never ate beef andshowed me eating pork( so that i trust him ).. anyway his fb account from 2017 clearely shows he is friends with all hindu indians ( its still there) .He went to clubhouse on OPindian channel to lecture indians about pro india stuffs ...He said he was scared to live in his country as a minority and that his indian friends are trying to bring him in his actual motherland, etc...as day passed i slowly trusted him little did i know everything was soo fake
when we were bout to meet irl he switched off his phn suddenly that day ( he literally in the morning was talking nicely etc) after 2-3 hours in a broken voice called me and said he was robbed .. told him to go to police but he refused saying he and his friend were foreigner and dont want trouble here...said he just wanted to meet me begged and cried to me to meet him...he said his friend and him have to stay in the streets and wont have food to eat and will return to his country to next morning ...i empathized with them and went there but it was to trap me ...who would have thought that a person needs to travel to another country to rape ...and now im here ...he said " why would u a lone girl come and meet a me? u wanted sex that why" and said he will manipulate everything against me though the whatsapp chats are proofs of vice versa but i was in clear shock ... i have kept it to my self for sometime but have told to my mom later .
that was the day i lost trust in humanity and god ( i was a religious person trusted shiv alot)

2023.03.24 04:46 theashutoshdash THE BIG GAME !!!
Basically mein bass ek cheez observe ki hai, usse hi mein bol raha hoon,padho or apna opinion do.
India mein ED-Tech Industry mein 3 Big Shots hai: Byjus's(val $22 blln), Unacademy( approx $5 blln) and PW ( $3 blln ). This isnt about money but about the Ps of marketing (Product Price Place Promotion ) All three provide the same product with a little/negligible difference. Place is the same for all, The thing that gives Edge to PW is its price and its the same thing they use for Promotion. But as we all know first mover advantage isnt a thing that guarentee Profit. So the thing has come to promotion. PW has now lately started playing this game, subconciously with the public. Last time Byju's was in the news headline due to its acquisition of Aakash. Ans Unacademy Due to its Offline classes. PW At the same point started expanding its empire by growing vertically, which is definitely not bad like its the basic rule of business. Even after normal mainstream media publicity, PW has been into 3 controversies over 1 year (esaral,Apni kaksha , now there own OG teachers leaving . There is my personal opinion , After Apni Kaksha controversy PW has not given a proper explanation to any of these (They have been ambiguising under the name of Revolution,Low price Education,Humare sath bhi esa hua tha,Log Jaal ke hume tod ne ki koshis kar rahe hai,Defame kar rahe hai ) Thats its been the answer for every thing they are accused. Now that There OG teachers have started leaving them they started targeting them but by keeping there image clean(Pankaj sir ke video ka motive hi yehi tha) .I wont say MD sir and Co are correct,They should admit the monetary aspect apart from there Variation in ideology(which they must clarify clearly)
See this has been in the Ed industry for years,Pehle bass Kota mein hota tha,But ab jab sab online hai yeh sab ko dikh raha hai.And tab Students didnt have any power but just to sit and witness. But Now students have The power of Views, The thing every company needs. PW now being mainstream and A great Audience puller now has the power to mould its answers in such a way its viewer base just gets biased and stop deciding who is right or wrong . Which I wont say is mistake of Students coz See as students we our selfs are in extreme pressure about our career and stuff. and obviously its not our duty and age to decide who is right and wrong among million and billion dollar company. We just dont see the motive of the companies they play via calling it emotion.I wont be surprised if Alakh sir joins Politics in his 40s by calling it his way to revolutionise indian education system.
See I am not a PW hater or something. rather I am a Lakshay JEE student myself and I admit Pankaj sir Teaches the best Oragnic in the internet. But as a Finance and Business enthusiast I would say this is what it is . I would say As students we should support a teacher not a company. We are no one to decide who is what until a union Governing body is formed. else PW Will be the next Allen

2023.03.24 04:14 RevenantbloodZ To my indian and asian bros, if you feel like your background/ethnicity is holding you back in the dating world, i'm here to tell you you're completely justified in thinking that way!
So i'm a 25 year old indian man currently residing in canada. I've been online dating for years now and it's been an uphill battle.
Now we all know these platforms promote the most superficial aspects of dating, so ofcourse i was fixated on certain aspects of myself which i thought made it harder for me to date. I'm short for example at 5'7. I always thought my race/nationality also had a huge part to play in my dating difficulties but after much adivce from dating related subs and friends, i convinced myself this was all in my head. Even if it was relevant, it didn't affect my dating life as much as personality, sense of style, you know the rest. Well recently i had a revelation that completely made me rethink this and kind of justified my old way of thinking. I have two friends, one indian and another dominican. One guy's british and the other guy is french. Last year they were also struggling a bit like me, but this year their match rate and number of dates have completely changed. They opened up their phones and showed me. they're getting a match with every second swipe and really good looking ones at that. My french friend is having a field day tbh, getting action every week. I asked them what they did different, and they told me it was simple: they posted pictures of their room with their respective flags in the background. French and english. In their own words " Worked like a charm". Seriously they both have over a 100 likes each. I've only seen girls with that many likes.
Now i'm someone who puts a lot more effort into online dating/dating in general than anyone i know. I specially cater messages, study swipe ratios - what would give me best results etc. Tinder and bumble for me are ghost towns, even with paid subscriptions. So i don't pay for them anymore. Even on the odd chance i get a match and we have a good conversation, i'm unmatched or ghosted when they ask the dreaded question "Where are you from"? And i say india. Although i've been living here for 5 years and my english is so good people always think i'm indian american/canadian.
Now all three of us are very similar in appearance. We're all 5'7ish, skinny frames, same skin tone and the only difference being my hair. In fact when we go out clubbing or to social events, i have better luck with meeting girls, getting attention. I dont think it's an apperance thing either as all of us are relatively good looking and my past dates have all told me i was cute. So the deciding factor came down to my background/nationality.
It's actually funny, in one way i'm happy my height isn't as important as i thought. But now it's another factor out of my control. And i get it, it's all right for people to have preferences. It's a bit hard to call it a preference though when it seems like the vast majority of women won't consider dating you. I've already made peace with that fact, as i can't change what i am. What i do get annoyed though is how people think this isn't a real bias, or it's all in my head. It's denying me my lived experiece, so by extension it feels like they're denying my struggles. When you go over 5 years trying your best to find a partner with little results, while your friends find new realtionships within months (With a 10th of the effort), it's hard to not feel jaded. Sometimes people say i shouldn't try too hard. Well if i'm not getting any luck putting in a 100% effort, what am i gonna see at 50%?
Anyway this post isn't meant to be a diss on anyone, it's just to highlight how things you may not think matter much actually matters a lot. Maybe the problem isn't always you all the time as popularly stated. You can be a good looking guy with an outgoing personality but still struggle due to factors like ethnicity which are out of your control. Doesn't mean it's your fault.
TLDR: Ethcnity/background/nationality has a huge factor in dating, online even more so.

2023.03.24 04:13 Sadcupcake_uwu Massive “dating app” company scamming people.
A company called First Beat Media LLC. Is scamming many people. They have multiple websites related to niche dating. Handicapped dating, elderly dating, farmer dating, Christian dating, trans dating, any specific niche kind of dating you could imagine, they have it. I’ve been following this company for a while now, and I’ll share with you what I’ve found.
What they do. -They claim unique domains and hope to sell them, while meanwhile offering a website (and app) that is virtually unusable. Their platforms are designed to have everything behind a paywall, to the point where it makes the sites useless. Every one of their sites and apps have the EXACT same layout. It’s free, but you only get to message 1 person, before you’re slammed with a paywall. Everything, every feature, you’ll be hit with a paywall before you can use said feature. Most of these sites are targeted towards the more vulnerable. When you get to the billing, the pricing is absolutely screwed up. You’ll get a “trial period” where it’s $1 a day. But after X amount of days, it’ll automatically start charging you a ridiculous amount. I should also note, that when you’re doing this, there is also a side option to subscribe to a completely different site..a foreign one, and the box is automatically checkmarked. If you miss this little checkmarked box, you’ll pay $1 that month, and then be charged $27.99 for a totally unrelated website. This companies services are purely designed to get you to spend money, unethically.
My experiment. -I decided to test the waters on not one, but two, sites that are hosted by this company. As I mentioned above, every site has the same layout, the same paywalls, and the same scam tactics designed to mislead you when it comes to the subscription and billing process. They want to overcharge you after x amount of days after luring you in with a “trial,” in which you pay .99 per day and then after 30 days you get charged $27.99 if you didn’t cancel. ALSO, you’ll automatically be charged $27.99 to a foreign site after a week if you didn’t catch it. The sites are useless and unusable unless you pay. Regardless of them looking like promising dating sites. (I can extrapolate more in the comments if need be.) They also spam your email, and it has many type-O’s. (Could also show.) Fake matches, many fake accounts, made by them!
What I know. - This company has MANY apps and websites dedicated to this “niche dating scene.” Not ALL of their websites have an app supporting them. The apps for their dating sites all have negative reviews (1-1.5 stars.) People saying how difficult it was to get their money back, and being overcharged. The company has a LinkedIn profile, full of possible fake employees. The company has a website that lists only a few of their MANY scam-bait domains. After digging deeper. I discovered that the company was owned by a single Indian man. (This may explain grammatical errors on the site and the emails they sent me.) Not only did I find out about this, but I also have seen a picture of him.
conclusion. -It’s one man from India, hosting several dating sites and apps, to screw you over!

White: 364 (40.27%)
Black: 225 (24.89%)
Draws: 315 (34.85%)
Adler variation
The Adler variation is named after the game Adler – Maróczy which was played at the 1896 Budapest tournament.[1][2] White is ready to give up the e5-pawn in order to develop all his pieces on their best squares, i.e. the d5-square for the Nb1, the f3-square for the Ng1 and the a1–h8 diagonal for the Bc1.
In the main line 4...Bc5 the f2-pawn is attacked, forcing 5.e3 that blocks the way for the Bc1. Then after 5...Nc6 White has not enough pieces to protect his e5-pawn on the long run, e.g.:
6.Qd5?! is a doomed attempt, exposing the queen and occupying the d5-square that should belong to the Nb1. This move has a historical interest as this was the line played in the first game where the Budapest Gambit occurred.[3] Black continues calmly with Qe7/Ngxe5/d6/Be6.
6.Bd2 O-O 7.Nc3 Qe7 does not prevent Black to regain his pawn either, and it obstructs the way to the d5-square for the Nb1. Once he has the pawn back Black has equality.[4]
6.b3 immediately allows Black to play 6...d6! when White cannot capture in d6 because of Qd8–f6 winning the Ra1. Play will likely transpose into the 6.Be2 variation.
An important theoretical decision for White is to choose whether he wants to make a2–a3 part of his plan or not. While this move avoids any possible Nc6–b4 and creates the possibility b2–b4, it may also be seen as a possible waste of time in some lines. As Lalic puts it:It was not so long ago that 8.a3, with the obvious intention of expanding with b2–b4, was the standard move. However, after Black responds with the logical a7–a5, it became apparent in tournament practice that the inclusion of these moves is in fact in Black's favour, as it gives his queen's rook access into play via the a6-square.
Black can also try the minor line 4...Nc6 that allows Black to delay the development of the f8-diagonal depending on the circumstances, and allows White to transpose into the 4.Bf4 variation if he wishes to do so.
The 4...Bc5 line with a2.E2.80.93a3
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 Ng4 4.Nf3 Bc5 5.e3 Nc6 6.a3
After the standard moves 6...a5 7.b3 O-O 8.Bb2 Re8 9.Nc3 Ngxe5 10.Nxe5 Nxe5 11.Be2 d6 12.O-O both kings are in safety and Black has regained the invested pawn in the process. Both players can deviate at various points but the positions reached are similar, e.g. in one game White played an early Ra1–b1 in order to push b2–b4 in one move, but Black continued with the same plan as explained hereunder.[5] In another game White developed his Bf1 in d3 instead of e2, but this gave the opportunity for Black to sacrifice the Ng4 on the f2-pawn before the white castle.[6]
White has a space advantage in the center and can initiate pressure here or on the queenside by some pawn pushes like b3–b4 and c4–c5 (possibly supported by a knight on the d5-square). Meanwhile, the White king lacks some defenders so Black can start a pieces-driven attack with the standard "rook lift". As Tseitlin puts it, "the point is that 6...a5 fits into the plan of attacking White's kingside (!), whereas 6.a3 does little in the way of defending it".[7] Thus if White does not find a clear way to make good use of his move a2–a3, it may turn out to be a waste of tempo.[8]
After 12...Re6 White has to chose a way to react to the oncoming assault:
13.Nd5 Rh6 14.g3 (to avoid the crushing 14...Qh4) 14...Bh3 15.Re1 when the Nd5 seems excellently placed, supporting the b3–b4 push on the queenside and one jump away from the f4-square where it can cover the weak light squares h3 and g2 if needed. Nevertheless, after 15...c6!? 16.Nf4 Bf5 it may be difficult for White to realise the b3–b4 push and the weakness of the d6-pawn is not of great significance as long as White cannot attack it with his minor pieces, so chances are level.[9] Thus placing the Nc3 in d5 may be premature.
13.g3 Rh6 14.Ne4 seems crushing as White threatens to win both the Bc5 and the Ne5 (the d6-pawn is pinned). Moreover the Ne4 is well placed to support a later c4–c5 push. Black must react with 14...Qd7 in order to get out of the pin and continue the initiative. Now White has to lose a tempo and weaken his kingside further with 15.h4 in order to avoid the terrific threat Qh3–Qxh2#. After 15...Ba7 Black has dynamic equality.[9]
13.Na4 is another try for White, hindering Re6–h6 because of Bxe5. Black must switch to defence on the queenside with 13...b6!? 14.Nxc5 bxc5 15.f4 (necessary to improve the prospects of the Be2) Nd7 16.Bf3 Rb8 17.Qd3 a4! when Black is even better.[10] In this plan it is important that Black does not fear to move his imprisoned Bc5, e.g. 14.Bc3 (threatening 15.b4) 14...Bd7 15.b4? Bxa4 16.Qxa4 axb4.
The 4...Bc5 line without a2.E2.80.93a3
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 Ng4 4.Nf3 Bc5 5.e3 Nc6
In this variation White reasons that the advance a2–a3 is only a loss of time, because Black will play a7–a5 anyway. By refraining from the advance a2-a3 White tries to gain a tempo on the lines of the previous section, to make it more difficult for Black to initiate the Re8–e6–h6 lift. For example after the typical 6.Be2 O-O 7.O-O Re8 8.Nc3 Ngxe5 9.Nxe5 Nxe5 10.b3 d6 11.Bb2 Re6 12.g3 Rh6?! 13.Ne4 Qd7 14.h4 Black does not have the a7-square for his Bc5 because he had no time to play a7–a5.[11] As we shall see, however, a rook lift is still one of the best options for Black.
White generally continues with 6.Be2, but can instead try the tricky 6.Nc3. The immediate recapture 6...Ngxe5?! 7.Nxe5 Nxe5 allows 8.f4! Nc6 9.Bd3 when the white bishop is much more actively placed than on e2.[12] However, simply 6...O-O! 7.Be2 Ngxe5 transposes to the 6.Be2 move-order.
Note that Black should recapture the e5-pawn first with the Ng4, not the Nc6. Lalic analyzes 6.Be2 O-O 7.O-O Ncxe5?! 8.Nd4! (attacking the Ng4), when 8...Nf6 leaves Black without a clear plan and "White can expect an opening advantage".[13] Alternatively, 8...Qh4 gives White a positional advantage with 9.h3 Nh6 10.Nc3 d6 11.Nd5 ("!" Lalic) to bring the knight back to f4 in case of a Black sacrifice in h3.[14]
After the standard moves 6.Be2 O-O 7.O-O Re8 8.Nc3 Ngxe5 9.Nxe5 Nxe5 White has tried two different plans:
The older fianchettoes the Bc1 and then plays in the centre with moves like Qd1–d5, Nc3–e4 and c4–c5. White attains a huge central space advantage, but Black can attack the kingside with the usual Ra8–a6–h6 rook-lift.
More recently, White has tried leaving the bishop on c1 for a time, and starting a kingside blitzkrieg with moves like f2–f4, Be2–d3 and Qd1–h5. In this line, Black tries to exploit White's weak pawn on e3.
Instead of the usual 6.Be2 White has also tried developing the queenside first, but it is dangerous to leave White's king in the centre too long. After 6.b3 O-O 7.Bb2 Re8 8.Bd3 ("?!" Lalic) d6 ("!" Lalic) 9.exd6? Nxf2! 10.Kxf2 Rxe3 11.Kf1 Bg4 Black had a crushing attack.[15]
White attacks in the centre
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 Ng4 4.Nf3 Bc5 5.e3 Nc6 6.Be2 O-O 7.O-O Re8 8.Nc3 Ngxe5 9.Nxe5 Nxe5 10.b3
After 10.b3 a5 White can try to capture the Bc5 with 11.Na4 or 11.Ne4, one point being that the retreat 11...Ba7 would lock the Ra8 because Black has not played Ra8–a6 already. Nevertheless, Lalic still thinks 11...Ba7 is the right move after 11.Ne4 due to the importance of the a7–g1 diagonal.[16] However, Black can also reroute the bishop with 11...Bf8 and "White has no obvious path to even a minute advantage".[16] After 11.Na4 Black can also simply react by 11...b6 when the loss of the bishop pair is compensated by the semi-open B-file and the improved control on the central squares.[17] Tseitlin considers that after the exchange in c5 Black has the better position.[18] That is why the most common White move is 11.Bb2, keeping the knight jumps for later.
Then the most common plan for Black is a rook lift: the plan Ra8–a6–h6 was tried in the much-commented game Åkesson – Tagnon (Berlin Open 1984). Black duly won, but after the game continuation 11...Ra6 12.Qd5! Qe7 13.Ne4 Ba7 14.c5 Rg6 15.Rac1 Bb8 16.f4 authors do not agree on which side had the advantage. Borik considers that White had a positional advantage,[19] Tseitlin agrees and recommends 15...Nc6! instead of 15...Bb8, with dangerous threats.[20] However about 15...Bb8 Lalic says "it is true that the bishop pair look a bit pathetic lined up on the back rank just now, but there is no way to stop them breaking out later".[21]
In fact, after 11...Ra6 much depends if White goes for the moves Qd1–d5 and Nc3–e4, or deviates with Nc3–a4:
After 12.Qd5 several games saw 12...Ba7. A game from Kramnik (playing as Black) saw 13.Ne4 Rae6 14.Ng3 d6 15.Qxa5 Bb6 16.Qc3 Rh6 and "Black has obtained a powerful attacking position in terurn for the pawn sacricice" according to Tseitlin.[22] In another game, White varied with 13.Ne4 Rae6 14.c5!?, when Tseitlin recommends the tactical 14...d6 15.cxd6 c6 16.Qd1 f5 17.Bxe5 Rxe5 "with good prospects for Black".[23] Another attempt for White is 13.Ne4 Rae6 14.Qxa5 Bb6 15.Qc3 Qh4, when Tseitlin writes that 16.f4 is "the only move that enables White to organise resistance",[24] while Lalic considers the move dubious, saying "16.Ng3 offers more resistance".[25] Kasparov presented the line 13.c5 Rh6 14.f4 Qh4 15.h3 as being worth consideration.[26] Black had had trouble finding a good square for his attacked knight in a 1988 Yugoslav game, where 14...Nc6 lost quite quickly; hence the try 14...Qh4!?, attacking h2. Also unclear is acceptance of the piece sacrifice with 15.fxe5 Qxh2+ 16.Kf2, when Black obtains definite compensation in a very sharp position.
Even if 12.Qd5 Ba7 is fully satisfactory for Black, Lalic still considers 12...Qe7 best, and on 15...Bb8 he says "it is true that the bishop pair look a bit pathetic lined up on the back rank just now, but there is no way to stop them breaking out later".[21] When White tries a different move-order with 12.Ne4 Ba7 13.Qd5, Black usually opts for 13...Rae6, a promising pawn sacrifice. After the possible 14.Qxa5 Bb6 15.Qc3 Qh4 only 16.f4 enables White to organise resistance.[27]
White attacks on the kingside
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 Ng4 4.Nf3 Bc5 5.e3 Nc6 6.Be2 O-O 7.O-O Re8 8.Nc3 Ngxe5 9.Nxe5 Nxe5 10.Kh1
The plan of attacking on the kingside was unveiled by Spassky in a game against Illescas (Linares 1990). Black did not understand immediately White's idea, so that after 10...a5?! 11.f4 Nc6 12.Bd3 d6 13.Qh5 (awarded a "!" by Lalic) 13...h6 14.Rf3 Black's pieces were ill-placed to counter White's attack.[28]
A more principled plan for Black is to react by an action on the centre, specifically against the backward e3-pawn. After 10...d6 11.f4 Nd7 ("!" Lalic) 12.Bd3 Nf6 13.Qf3 Ng4 14.Nd1 f5 ("!" Lalic) and Black has succeeded in avoiding White's expansion e3–e4.[29]
The 4...Nc6 line
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 Ng4 4.Nf3 Nc6
Black plays this when he wants to postpone the placement of its dark-squared bishop. Now White has a wide choice:
5.Bf4 transposes in the 4.Bf4 variation explained hereafter.
5.Qd5 transposes in the minor line 4.Qd5 explained hereafter.
5.e3 and now 5...Bb4+ is not that good because White can react with the simple 5.Bd2. Better for Black is 5...Ngxe5 when Black can go into a kind of King's Indian Defence setup with g7–g6 and Bf8–g7.[30] Then the pressure along the a1–h8 diagonal can be enhanced via the quick advance a7–a5–a4–a3. For example after 5.e3 Ngxe5 6.Be2 g6 ("!?" Lalic) 7.O-O Bg7 8.Nc3 O-O 9.Qd2 d6 10.h3 ("?" Lalic) 10...a5 ("!" Lalic) 11.b3 a4 and now 12.Bb2 would have been followed by 12.a3! 13.Bc1 Nxf3+ 14.Bxf3 Qf6 winning the Nc3.[31]
5.Nc3 will transpose into the 4...Bc5 line if Black plays 5...Bc5, but Black can also wait a bit to see what White is up to, e.g. 5...Ngxe5 6.Nxe5 Nxe5 7.Qc2 Bb4 when both players are still hesitating to castle long or short.[32]
5.Bg5 Be7 6.Bxe7 (6.Bf4 Bb4+ transposes in the 4.Bf4 variation) 6...Qxe7 7.Nc3 with the dangerous positional threat Nc3–d5. Here Borik advocates 7...Qc5 8.e3 Ngxe5, when he can react to Qd1–d5 with Qc5–e7 (and the d5-square is no more available to the Nc3), and to Nc3–d5 with Nc6–e7 (to exchange the annoying knight).[30] Black can also delay the recapture of the e5-pawn with 7...O-O 8.Nd5 Qd8 9.e3 Ngxe5 10.Nxe5 Nxe5.[33] Meanwhile, the natural 7...Ngxe5 falls into White's positional trap and after 8.Nd5 ("!?"

2023.03.24 02:19 Otherwisely An (Almost) Comprehensive List of Final Girl References
Here’s a list of all the references I could find throughout the Final Girl games. It’s as comprehensive as I could get it, but I have no doubt that I’m missing things. If you notice something that I didn’t, let me know in a comment.
I don’t have season 2 yet, but those of you who do can feel free to let me know possible references in the comments as well.
Marked for spoilers, just in case.
Feature Films (Season 1)
The Happy Trails Horror Camp Happy Trails is directly inspired by
Friday the 13th’s Camp Crystal Lake. Hans is inspired by the “slow-moving hulk” type of slashers—Jason, Michael Myers—with a dash of Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s Sawyer family and a sprinkle of spooky German vibes.
German shame masks (
schandmaske) were
used the 17th century to punish those who acted inappropriately for their station. Masks styled as pigs were used for the gluttonous, drunken, or sloppy.
Some people have suggested that the location and killer are a reference to the famous
Die Hard line, “Happy trails, Hans.” I personally think it’s more of a coincidence but I figured it’s worth mentioning.
The Haunting of Creech Manor Both the location and the killer are inspired by the 1982 film
Poltergeist. The little girl, Carolyn, is named for Carol Anne, the movie’s iconic creepy/psychic child. The main mechanic of this killer is a reference to the movie’s plot as well, as both require rescuing a young girl from malevolent spirits.
There is a Terror card titled “Did that clown... just move?” wherein the Final Girl is attacked by a clown doll. A clown doll also features in the movie.
The Terror card “The trees are alive!” references an event in the movie where a tree breaks a window and pulls one of the character outside.
The name of the manor may be a reference to Thomas Eugene Creech, an American serial killer. Like Robert Creech in the manor’s backstory, Thomas Creech’s wife also died by suicide.
Slaughter at the Groves It doesn't seem like there are any specific films being referenced here, but it may be partially inspired by Mondo films from the 60’s.
Inkanyamba is a legendary serpent of Zulu mythology. Specifically, it’s said to reside at the bottom Howik Falls, South Africa. According to lore, only sangomas (traditional healers in southern Africa) may approach its home safely, and only with the intent to worship it. Like the Sacred Groves, Howik Falls is a popular tourist attraction.
One of the item cards is called Shaman’s Bones. Sangomas throw bones to divine the future. Like in the illustration, animal bones, dice, shells, and stones can be used as part of this process. However, contrary to what the flavor text says, I didn’t find anything to suggest that human bones are used.
Despite the references to South Africa, though, the lore book specifically mentions west Africa.
One of the setup cards is called Swamp Thing. Swamp Thing is a DC comics character. Wes Craven wrote and directed the 1982 film adaptation of the character.
Carnage at the Carnival The carnival is based off of the many carnival/circus-based horror movies, but
The Funhouse seems to be the strongest inspiration. Geppetto is named for the fictional character who created a puppet, Pinnochio, as his son. His abilities are based off of the Puppet Master franchise.
Frightmare on Maple Lane The killer, location, and film title are very obviously based off of
A Nightmare on Elm Street. Many of the Terror cards also reference the movie. Most notably, there are cards that almost exactly mimic the Freddy Kreuger nursery rhyme.
The Bicycle item card has the flavor text
“Hi ho silver! Away!” In the novel
It (and its adaptations), Bill would shout that phrase when he rode his bike. The phrase itself references
The Lone Ranger. One of the setup cards is titled
A Quiet Place, sharing its name with the 2018 horror movie. However, there’s no resemblance between the setting and the movie.
Terror from Above This vignette is based off of Hitchcock’s
The Birds.
The
Terror in the Groves scenario references a mint-condition alpha Black Lotus card. This is an extremely rare and valuable card in Magic: The Gathering. In 2023, one such card was sold for $540,000. Buying all the Final Girl games doesn't seem like such a big investment anymore, does it?
Feature Films (Season 2) - In Progress
I don’t yet own these expansions, so I’m only able to speak in broad strokes. For those of you who got the games ahead of the official release, please feel free to share any details. Into the Void Killer and location are a reference
Alien.
Terror at Station 2891 Killer and location are a reference to
The Thing. The station number may be the reverse of 1982, the year
The Thing was released (noted by Invicta71).
A Knock at the Door The location and killer in general are references to home invasion movies. However, the killer being three masked characters specifically references
The Strangers. The killer wearing the sack is a reference to the Man in Mask killer from
The Strangers. The killer wearing a skull looks similar to the cult from 2021’s
Wrong Turn. I don’t recognize the third killer’s mask as anything specific, but there are some masks from
The Purge series that are somewhat similar.
The title of the film may be derived from the 2015 film
Knock Knock.
Once Upon A Full Moon The killer and location is a reference to classic fairytales, particularly Little Red Riding Hood.
Madness in the Dark The setting is based off of the many hospital/asylum horror movies. The killer, The Ratchet Lady, may be a reference to the antagonist of
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Nurse Mildred Ratched. Her appearance seems at least partially inspired by the nurse monsters in the Silent Hill series, specifically the first movie adaptation.
Terror from the Grave This vignette is a reference to various zombie horror movies.
Final Girls (Season 1)
Laurie Carpenter Laurie’s first name is a clear reference to
Halloween’s final girl, Laurie Strode. Her last name is a tribute to filmmaker, John Carpenter, who created
Halloween and many other iconic horror movies.
Reiko Rivers Reiko is a common Japanese name, so there are a few possibilities, but most likely it’s a reference to the protagonist of the original Japanese
Ring. Rivers is possibly a reference to Clear Rivers, a character in the first two
Final Destination movies.
Note: There are a lot of ways to write Reiko in kanji, but assuming that our Reiko uses the same kanji as the movie character, her name would be written as 玲子.
Alice Cranston Alice is named for the original
Friday the 13th’s final girl and/or the final girl of
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4. Not sure what, if anything, her last name references.
Selena Villanueva Her first name is reference to a character in
28 Days Later. Not sure what, if anything, her last name references.
Barbara Romero First name is a reference to actress Barbara Crampton who has starred in numerous horror movies and shows. Last name references filmmaker George Romero, famous for his
Night of the Living Dead films.
Adelaide Jordan First name is a reference to the main character of
Us. Last name is almost certainly a reference to filmmaker Jordan Peele.
Charlie Aja Not sure what, if anything, her first name references. Last name is a reference to French filmmaker Alexandre Aja, known for
Haute Tension (aka
High Tension or
Switchblade Romance), 2006’s
The Hills Have Eyes, and
Horns. Her appearance bears some resemblance to Marie from
Haute Tension.
Eihi Asami Both names are references to the antagonist of the 1999 Japanese horror film
Audition. The character is named Asami Yamazaki and portrayed by Eihi Shiina. So far, she’s the only final girl to be referred to primarily by her surname and also the only final girl to be named for a villain.
Asami’s special item brings to mind the belts the movie character wears around her waist.
Note: In
Audition, Asami is the character’s given name and written as 麻美 in kanji. Here, Asami is the surname and is likely written using the kanji 浅見 or 浅海. Phonetically, however, they are identical. Eihi is written as 英姫 (assuming it uses the same kanji as the actress).
Sheila Smalley First name may be a reference to Sheila Vand, the actress who played the protagonist of
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Surname possibly references early filmmaker Phillips Smalley, but I don’t think it’s a strong case.
Nancy Lang Clearly named for Nancy Thompson, the final girl of the first
A Nightmare on Elm Street. Her surname may be derived from Nancy’s actress, Heather Langenkamp, or it may be a reference to filmmaker Stephen Lang.
Melanie Brown First name for the protagonist of
The Birds. Not sure what, if anything, her last name references.
Final Girls (Season 2) - In Progress
I don’t yet own the season 2 lore book, so I don’t have the full names of the final girls. For those of you who got the games ahead of the official release, please feel free to share any details. Ellen Named for the final girl of
Alien. Jenette Named for Jenette Goldstein, the actress who portrayed Private Vasquez in
Alien. Kate A reference to the protagonist of 2011’s
The Thing. The characters share a similar appearance.
Uki Reference to
Slash/Back.
Ava References the final girl of
The Cloverfield Paradox. Ginny Not sure what the reference may be.
Red Named for the fairytale character Little Red Riding Hood. It may also reference the main antagonist of
Us. Gretel Named for the fairytale character Gretel from
Hansel and Gretel. Heather Likely named for Heather Mason, the protagonist of
Silent Hill 3. The characters also share a similar appearance.
Veronica Possibly named for the titular protagonist of the 2017 Spanish film
Verónica.
Vignette Final Girl This is a placeholder until I learn this character’s name.

2023.03.24 00:59 Logic_Sandwich JoJo's Bizarre OC Tournament #6: R4M7 - Mx. Wah vs Brandy Judge
The results are in for Match 5. The winner is… Electra wanted to scream.
She’d seen it. Nadine’s face, exhausted and resolved. A dull and empty, hopeless resolve. Electra was still fighting, knew that she’d got Nadine to really, truly take it seriously. Just a month or two ago, she’d have felt giddy. To see the wrappings of false positivity, false and weak hope torn away, to show something tough underneath.
Electra wanted to scream, she wanted to stop, she wanted to call it off, she wanted to leave. But she couldn’t, now. She’d done it again, one of her “friends” had disappointed her, and there was this…this pit, this awful fucking pit of darkness, it’d covered her, her face and body covered in shadows. A nobody in the shape of a girl, a yawning void. A black hole. It couldn’t let it pass, it had to drag them closer, drag them in, drag them down.
Down to her level.
There was no chance she could get out of it. She’d won, been too successful. She’d seen Nadine’s problems, seen her strife, but she’d just pressed and pressed to see what she would do. It was
she that threatened Nadine if she backed down, went easy.
This was Nadine’s checkmate. Electra surrounded on a bare platform, surrounded by electrified water, ready to push her under. Oh yes, Electra could fight back; Nadine had left a spot of shadow behind her, Electra could lash out, could have a vine chomp on her neck, or throw her away, or strike from her own inked body….
And then Electra let go. She relaxed, brought up her arms, and let the vines all vanish. She felt the wires of Nadine’s Stand wrap her, Nadine already looking away. She was tugged, a second crystal stunning her completely, though she had no intention to resist. In that instant, Nadine’s face was obscured in brilliant, terrible light.
Part of Electra giddily wondered if this is what Aisha had felt, the unmerciful resolve, cable digging into her skin. The vines of her own Stand came from the ground, into the water, acting as a ground, something Nadine wouldn’t see.
A part of her was grateful she wouldn’t, that Nadine would not see her so vulnerable, see her in any weakness.
A part of her knew this would really fucking hurt.
Electra hadn’t looked away. That’s something that she was proud of, that she kept her eyes open, didn’t go under, didn’t look away.
It took her a minute after Nadine had relented, thinking her unconscious, had took her down.
She fucking hurt. Every nerve on her body felt like it was fried, and Electra couldn’t move anything properly. It was all she could do to breathe, to keep awake and think. But she could think. Nadine couldn’t see her eyes, thought she was still unconscious.
Electra felt vines sprout from her face, wrap around her limbs, two tiny ones in her mouth to move it. She stood up, looking down at the catatonic Nadine. There was a brief, fleeting thought of finishing things here, but as she breathed, she forced her mouth into speech. There was only one way, only one thing she could ever do to try and fix things. As she spoke in her raw, hoarse voice, Nadine looked up in shock, acted on instinct.
“Rock, paper…”
Category | Winner | Point Totals | Comments |
Popularity | Electra Heart | 16 (4.5+2) - 14 (3.5+2) | A fairly even voting period, with each side gaining a slight advantage over the other at their own points. |
Quality | Tie | 20 (6 7 7) - 20 (6 7 7) | Reasoning |
JoJolity | Tie | 22 (7 8 7)- 22 (7 8 7) | Reasoning |
Conduct | Tie | 10-10 | Nothing to report! |
The two sat next to each other. There was a pile of documents, of hard drives, and mercifully no congratulations. Nobody had ‘won’ the fight, but the desert had accepted the other game.
Electra kept a hand to her neck, remembering the feeling of drowning, of pain, of having every part of her body crying out for help. She felt sick. Everything hurt. But she could still talk.
“I’m sorry.” The statement was simple, but she had to force it out, carrying far more weight than Nadine could ever know.
“I made you do this. This was my idea, but when I saw you, looking like…like me, I wanted it to stop. I wanted to stop. I didn’t try and calm down when you opened up to me. I didn’t try to listen to you. To help. I thought I did, kind of, but a part wanted to see if you could be taken down. I’m envious. And then when I saw that resolve, I…I did what I’d thought everyone else had done. I betrayed you. You brought me here, and I hurt you.”
“What’s wrong with you, Nadine? What the hell's wrong with me?“ She began to sniffle, wrapping her arms around herself and digging her trimmed nails into her tawny skin.
“I haven’t always been…like this, you know.” She made a half-hearted gesture to her face. “But in a way, I always have. Let me ask you a question. When you look at me now, what do you see? Do you see me? Or do you see an empty, black void?”
“No.” Nadine whispered. Then silence. Electra moved her hand so it rested inches away from Nadine’s.
“Well, it’s a trick question. The answer is that there’s no difference. I was hollow…I still am. I have one big aspiration, and it’s to get to the top, no matter what. Win and win. But look at me now. Still empty.”
“I don’t have any answers for you. I didn’t give you anything. I think…maybe I took something away. I thought I hated you, but I…I can’t. I won’t. I won’t let you become someone I’d hate. I don’t care if you leave me here. I’d deserve it. But I don’t know what to do now. Anything that’s inside me is so…fucking unpleasant. I don’t know what to chase after.” Her face felt hot and wet and numb.
“You were right. This was useless. I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry. I don’t know what to say. I can’t fix anything. I’m just fucked up.” She gagged. “I…whatever it is, whatever the answer is, it can’t be…that…this. It can’t fucking be this.”
Nadine grabbed her hand, looking intently at her face. “No…” Her voice was a hesitant, awed whisper. “It isn’t.” Electra wilted at the intensity of her stare. “You aren’t empty. Look.”
She pointed to one of the walls, and Electra looked at her reflection, her eyes sullen, puffy and red-
Her eyes. They widened, black encroaching on them, but dripping out onto her hands as tears. For the first time in years, she saw her eyes, hers. Green and gross with one of her contacts slipping, but still hers.
She didn’t wipe them. Once her tears were gone, the shadow would return, but….
She had to leave. There were no answers here. She squeezed Nadine’s hand.
“I want to go home.”

(Shoutouts to the team of Atrocity Exhibition for the match concept and write up!)
Scenario: Suburb of Belgrade, Serbia — 2:16 PM
This used to be a hospital, but it clearly hadn't been used like that for some time. Orange and purple paint streaked the walls like blood, the foliage inside grew even more dense, the sickly-sweet air growing more humid by the moment. The hallways were packed with people, but Brandy Judge could hardly linger as she was rushed higher into the complex.
She was no stranger to working with other criminals, even those with weird theming—one of her teams’ collaborators commissioned himself a weaponized fursuit, after all. But this was on a whole other level—if anything, this overrun hospital brought to mind the one she infiltrated on a rescue mission in Tunisia. Thankfully, there were no no plant-overrun zombies around, just people in cultish garb, she reassured herself, before preparing herself to meet with their leader.
In the room that once was a hospital administrators’ office, lounging on a throne made of plants, metal, and wood was Frederick Loverman, or rather, what was left of him after his untimely demise in the Algerian desert. He looked far different than the last time Brandy saw him- when the two butted heads while searching for information in a Moroccan bazaar.
”Well well, it’s been some time, hasn’t it, Ms. Judge?” The former Atrocity Exhibition leader smirked, basking in the singular ray of sunshine that streamed through a hole in the roof, the only source of light in the room. Brandy couldn’t help but notice the obvious.
“Dude, what the fuck happened to you? You…you look like a houseplant.” Brandy tried to project confidence into her voice, though she couldn’t help but think about Tunisia. But had to be something else, something to do with his reported death at the hands of COLOSSI’s Sovereign.
Frederick sneered a moment, before the expression curled into a smile. The former human looked to be half nature spirit and half corpse. He tapped the arm of his throne with an arm of twisted wood as he watched his former adversary with gleaming blue-gold eyes.
“It's a bit too much to explain, but you’re here for business, not my personal life.” Frederick laughed. “I’m glad you were open to my probe. I have no lack of followers, but they still retain their human weaknesses. I am in need of Stand users to help me in my campaign. I have eventually decided that you might be able to help.”
“Everyone else turned you down, didn’t they? Not much of a surprise, you look like a real creep.” Brandy tried very hard to keep her gaze above Frederick’s thorny crown as she spoke. She did not want to stare too long at the large, maw-like wound in his abdomen. It pulsed with whatever vine-like cobalt organs kept Frederick alive.
She hadn’t seen the fight with Mx. Wah, but she had heard the rumors. Brandy found herself having to swallow a sudden jolt of anger. Sure, Frederick was an absolute son-of-a-bitch, but to do something like that to a person…It was unthinkable. Not to mention the fact it must have made him into this thing.
Frederick simply shot Brandy a sneer. ”I see you haven’t lost your attitude,” he glowered down at her, as the golden roses adorning his body ruffled angrily.
Brandy’s ward, Evelyn, stood next to her, steepling their hands as they glanced between her and Frederick. She was the one who contacted Brandy, as she was currently working on Frederick’s behalf. “Let’s just, uh, move to the deal.”
”Of course, Evelyn. Let us continue.” Frederick gave a wide grin and shuffled to clasp his hands together, gesturing towards Brandy. Evelyn shuffled uncomfortably at that. ”But regardless…You have a bone to pick with the Millennium Collection, don’t you?”
Brandy’s eyes narrowed. “Well, I- Wait…I thought they were your boss?”
Frederick seemed agitated at that, slamming his wooden hand against the arm of his chair. “Those fools control me no longer! I am my own ruler!”
“Yeah…gotcha.” Brandy shrugged. “So…you want me to beat up some guys?”
“In essence, yes. Specifically, I want you to target their financial department in Bulgaria. It’s been exceedingly weak as of late, and my team has been able to siphon both information and funding. We see it as a perfect first step in our greater fight against the Collection.”
“Sure, sure. Not the first time someone’s hired me for this, probably won’t be the last.” She thumped her fists. “Just…break shit, steal things?”
“…Sure, you could put it that way,” Frederick rolled his uncanny eyes. “Evelyn here will escort you there, and we can take care of the details on the w-”
“Wait.” She raised her voice, interrupting Frederick. As Frederick gave her another glare, she met it with a defiant look in her eyes. “I’m not doing this for free. I’m here looking for information…specifically, info on my mom.”
“Your…mother?” Frederick seemed surprised by that for a moment, before he started laughing. His laughter was mirrored and distorted sixfold phantom voices, emanating from the darkened corners of the room. “Oh, you are far from the first, Brandy Judge. Another…contractor was looking for information on a lost love, and Evelyn here…actually came to me for a similarly personal matter!”
Evelyn glanced away, and Brandy gave her a brief curious look before turning back to look at Frederick. “…Sure, whatever, but if you’ve got anything on my mom, I want it now.”
”Why, I haven’t even started looking. But I assure you, as soon as my acolytes find what you’re looking for…We’ll get it to you.” Frederick leaned forwards, combing through his hair with the wooden claws of his hand. ”But I’m curious…why come here for this information? Our last meeting was a competition, which you lost. But here you are. Why? Couldn’t you have just…put her face on some posters? Milk cartons, maybe?” he smirked.
“She’s…deep in the criminal scene here, I’m pretty sure, at least.”
”Ah, of course, of course. Maybe she too became caught in the gears of Millenium Collections’ horrific machine…” He settled back into his seat, stealing blatant glances in Evelyn’s direction that even Brandy could notice. ”I’ll tell you what. Complete this mission for me, and maybe you’ll even kill two birds with one stone!”
“Maybe, maybe.” Brandy rolled her shoulders, and gave Frederick one final glance. “But you’d better fulfill the end of your bargain”
But of course! Look at Evelyn over there, she’s one of my most faithful associates.” He gestured out towards Evelyn, who was already turned away, glancing at her phone.
“Alright, fuck up the finances, get my mom back. Easy peasy.” Brandy turned around towards Evelyn. “Let’s move.”
”Yes, let’s.” Frederick grinned, and stood up from his chain. He extended his hands out, the flowers in his body rustling as he gave them both a glowing, fanged grin. “May this be the first fallen domino in the path that will decimate the Collection.”
Brandy was already bored and uneasy, walking away with Evelyn with a shiver down her spine. The two left the room, back into the winding halls of the colorful, floral complex, she let herself vocalize her thoughts. “Jeez, he’s…somehow even creepier since last time.”
Evelyn only gave a look of understanding as the two walked silently back out the hospital.
Scenario: Provincial Istanbul, Turkey — 5:37 PM
Before the Byzantine Empire gave way to the Ottomans, it spent the millennium in a state of change. It flourished, and then deteriorated, and then flourished again. Yet, through every victory and each defeat, the empire endured. It seemed infallible, too massive to die. But by the start of the 11th century, the empire’s troubles were piling up. It lost territory after territory, bled wealth into neighboring republics, and suffered repeated attacks on its Balkan territories. The Crusades became a terrible power struggle with the West which ended in the first loss of Constantinople, and though the Byzantines barely managed to wrest it back, by then it was already too late. Its infallible status had been chipped away; the Ottoman empire was rising, and quickly swallowed the remains of the Byzantines. However, even the Ottomans were worn away by the sands of time and social upheaval. Following a series of horrific wars and subsequent defeats, the Ottomans lost their grip and became Turkey. After 1500 combined years, two of the most powerful empires in the world were no more.
However, limping on from their fall was the Millennium Collection, clinging onto power with snaking tendrils coiled around the region, one of which is its Financial District, a clotted cluster of buildings located throughout the Balkans, with the main center sitting in the heart of Bulgaria. Much like the Collection itself, the District is a labyrinth of cubicles, spreadsheets, and bank accounts, heaving with ill-gotten gains. It is large enough that someone could regain access to his account and start siphoning money without the Collection even noticing. For a little while, at least.
But “Final Judgement” Alalu, leader of the Millennium Collection, has finally caught Frederick’s scent. While she did not care to spend the resources on pulling weeds, it’s clear he means to become a nuisance.
So she has arranged an audience with the person who killed him.
While a recent raid on the Collection had dispatched many of her fellow high-ranking Stand users in the organization's upper echelons, and ousted the former Final Justice, there was a silver living. Alalu had been informed by the late Crammentazenta, assistant to one Solsbury Hill, that COLOSSI was willing to reach out. So reach out she did.
Mx. Wah had heard that the leader of the Millennium Collection lived in a big island estate, but was surprised to be invited to a cozy log cabin, deep in the woods outside of Istanbul. The door opened to reveal a middle-aged Turkish woman, eyes creased with smile lines.
Wah squinted, before flashing her a sharp-toothed smile of their own. “Have no fear…the Wah is here!”
The woman chuckled, before nodding once, inviting them inside. The moment she turned around, Wah rolled their eyes at her crucifix jewelry, before following behind. The cabin’s interior was predictably quaint, though Wah was surprised to see it covered with animal furs and taxidermy. Yeesh, they thought to themselves. At least Wah has some sense of interior decor. But this meeting was all about putting differences aside for the sake of business. At least there aren’t any…antique record players, the Sovereign shuddered.
Wah draped themselves on the nearest armchair, watching as Alalu poured them both cups of steaming tea, before she took a seat.
“It’s an honour to finally meet you, Mx. Wah,” she began.
“It’s an honour for Wah to meet you too, Judge Judy.”
She gave that one a hearty chuckle. “Please, call me Asli. I’ll be honest though, dear…I’m surprised you agreed to this, after all the trouble our organizations have caused each other.”
Wah shrugged, adding six sugar cubes to their teacup. “Please, that’s in the past, Wah’s already forgotten. There’s no point in fighting, Wah would rather not explode both gangs in a big firestorm. That’d just play into our enemies hands~” They reached forwards for their tea, before grabbing a sugar cube and popping it into their mouth instead.
Asli nodded, casually retrieving the project she was working on. It appeared to be a massive strip of leather, though its surface was tangled with dried blue vines and golden flowers. “Indeed,” she responded, continuing to clean the strange hide. “I called you here because of our common enemy. I found this snooping around my financial headquarters. It seems it wasn’t enough for Frederick to steal our Prestige…he’s been using it on people.”
“That thing was a whole guy!?” Wah shuddered, peeking through the hands covering their face. “Eeeewww ew ew, that’s so gross…”
“This was just a scout…I’m sure there’s more of them. It would be a pain to waste valuable resources dealing with this alone…so that’s why I’ve called you, Mx. Wah. You’ve dealt with Frederick before, and I know that you are a highly capable leader. I admire what you’ve done with COLOSSI, I hope to do the same with the Collection.”
Still crunching their sugar cube, Wah snorted. “Oh good luck, the Collection has always been a hot mess.” Ever since they were Byzantines.
“I am aware…I’ve been working for them a long time, almost forty years now.”
Wah had to hold back a laugh. That’s ‘a long time’? How adorable!
“Even if it’s a mess, it’s large enough to have its own gravity. If you ever try to leave, it simply…pulls you back in.” Quietly, Alalu looked at the only picture on her mantle. It was a faded image of her a couple decades ago, standing with a man and a child. Even there, she looks distracted, as if her spirit resides elsewhere. “I’m sure you know how that feels.”
Wah glanced up from the tower they were idly building out of sugar cubes, looking rather disinterested. “Hm…? Actually, the Wah is kinda here for business, if we could get back to that.”
Alalu laughed again, looking sheepish. “Yes of course, so sorry, dearie. I’ve gotten sentimental at my age. But yes…business. You’ve already fought Loverman once. I suspect he’s planning some sort of attack. If he shows up to gloat, could you be there to finish what you’ve already started? I’ll make sure it’s worth your while, we’ll start this relationship of ours by owing you a favour. You have my word.”
Wah considered this a moment, before sticking out their hand to shake.
“Hmm…alrighty! When Wah finally destroys Frederick, somehow, Wah will figure it out, then we can have our wonderful Wahlliance!” When they gave Alalu that same sharp toothed smile, she returned it with a shake of their hand, as the Collection and COLOSSI pulled themselves closer with gravity shared.
Scenario: Sofia, Bulgaria — 3:41 AM
“Aren’t you a little too young to be going after the Millennium Collection?”
Brandy kept looking out towards the streets the two were driving by, not moving her gaze even as her Evelyn spoke to her. She smirked to herself, reclining in her seat. “Yes, yes I am.”
Evelyn squirmed in the driver’s seat as she chauffeured Brandy to her destination. They knew that her girlfriend had made amends with the girl sitting passenger after the two fought some time ago, but this whole situation put them off. “So…you’re also trying to find your mum by working with Frederick?”
“Mhm.” Brandy finally glanced back. “Freddy said something about you also having some,” she air-quotes, putting on a brief haughty air, “similarly personal matter that you went to him for. What’s that all about?”
Evelyn merely took a breath. “I found out my mom died by the Collection’s hands.”
“Oh.” Brandy looked away. “Sorry to hear that.”
“Thanks.”
“…”
“…”
Evelyn focused on driving the car deep into the Bulgarian backstreets, and after a long, awkward silence, they parked in an alleyway. “Here’s where you get off.”
“…Cool, thanks for the ride.” Brandy was quick to unbuckle her belt and hop out of the car, before Evelyn finally looked over, placing a hand on the dashboard as their gray eyes peered into Brandy’s.
“Even if you manage to find your mum because of this…she might not actually be your mum. Or she could be dead. So, uh, be prepared for all of that.”
“…right.” The worry in their voice made Brandy tense up. But she had handled a lot worse, and no matter how shifty Frederick was, this Evelyn person seemed to get what she was looking for by working with him…didn’t they?
“Okay, uh, the door to the records is just down the alleyway. Good luck.” As Evelyn drove off, Brandy was struck by the fact that despite their professional air, her driver had genuinely meant concern.
No matter. There was a job to do.
Brandy found herself facing the side of an office building, similar to the structures around it, though it was painted a worn, fleshy pink. Frederick had informed her that much of the building was underground. However, what drew Brandy’s attention was not the architecture, but the small crowd gathered around it. Noticing that these were Frederick’s ‘acolytes’, she approached, only to jump back as one turned to look at her. Their eyes were glazed with gold, palled skin crawling with yellow blossoms. It was the closest look she had gotten at one of them, after being rushed through the hospital to meet Frederick.
Suddenly, memories of that horrific excursion struck her like lightning, her hands trembling as she remembered shocking one of those afflicted P-zombies to death. This wasn’t the same as the P-Virus in Tunisia, she reminded herself. It couldn’t be. Which meant…there was more than one. Brandy tried to compose herself, before the acolyte spoke.
“You are Brandy, the one that our Lord sent to command us. What are your orders?”
Brandy felt her stomach tie itself in a knot. Their Lord? Seriously? But of course, this was Frederick; she should have expected this. She wasn’t sure why this was just now upsetting her. But the memories of that rescue mission kept tangling through her mind. The realization that she was dealing with another plant-infested, god-complex maniac, and that she was helping him? It was almost too much to handle.
The acolyte was still looking at her, waiting for orders. Brandy squeezed her eyes shut, fighting the wave of nausea and bitter rage.
She didn’t want to look at it anymore. She didn’t want to remember.
“Just…go on ahead. Fuck them up. I don’t care. Just get- get away from me.”
The sound of footsteps surrounded Brandy, before vanishing into the building. When all was silent, Brandy took a deep breath, opening her eyes. To stop her hands from trembling, she held them. Maybe, maybe when she found her mother, she could hold her hand instead.
“Just get through this, Brandy. Just let them handle themselves, steal as much cash as you can carry, and figure out where she is. You can do this. You can do this.”
With one more breath, Brandy steeled herself and entered the Financial building. The place was mostly silent as she circled the stairwell into the lower levels, taking her time within the isolated. She could hear distant gunshots throughout the building, and tried to ignore them. Maybe if she spiraled down this staircase for long enough, it would already be over.
That was when a new sound tore through the building—the horrible, distorted cry of a wolf. As Brandy frantically looked around, she could see the ghastly pattern of faces in the brickwork. Whatever this was, it probably meant shit was going sideways. As little as Brandy wanted to deal with this, she knew that if she blew this mission she lost her chance at information. She had to at least check.
When Brandy finally burst through the nearest door to find out what was happening, she walked right into a group of acolytes, staring down at one of their fellow followers, whose leg was currently caught in a strange sort of bear trap.
As Brandy tried to swallow her fear, tried to figure out what the hell to do, gunshots echoed through the ceiling above her, before they suddenly went silent. Brandy could feel it, someone was approaching. As 「Concrete Schoolyard」 gleamed within her ring, she braced herself for the appearance of some horrific, sadistic crime boss. But the door opened to reveal a middle-aged Turkish woman, her eyes creased with smile lines. Brandy blinked, staring her down with wary confusion.
“Oh, you must be Brandy! How nice to meet you, dear,” the woman greeted warmly. “I’ve heard about your exploits, it’s always nice to see a capable young woman making a name for herself in the Mediterranean. I only wish I could offer you some tea, but…”
Brandy unlaced her fingers and raised her hands defensively. “Ah- what? No, I- you’re definitely with them. You have to be. Who the hell are you!?”
Taking those words as a sign to attack, the acolytes started forwards, guns drawn. Before Brandy could stop them or join them, the woman simply smiled.
“Howl, 「Wolf Murder」.”
The moment the guns fired, the air around her twisted with deep red light. The air filled with the sound of metal striking metal, and then it was over.
Towering above the woman was a massive, hulking form. Its powerful body was completely flayed, revealing red, raw musculature wrapped in layers of thick pelts. Blood dripped over its face from beneath the wolf’s head that it wore atop its own. Between the taxidermy and its own visage, three glassy wolf eyes glared the acolytes down with black and golden rage.
“Let me deal with these weeds first, dearie.” Her smile was warm as blood.
「We Will Commit Wolf Murder」 bared its fangs as the acolytes charged towards the threat. Snarling, it unfurled a massive skinning knife from its back, a blade nearly as long as Brandy herself. With a single, arcing slice, every acolyte was cleanly sliced in two. Their flayed bodies were flung about the room with the force of the blow, blue flesh squirming with yellow blossoms, which began to writhe and die without the life energy of their hosts. The leathery pelts that peeled from their bodies rained everywhere, joined by pelts stripped from the walls, the floor, everything, all of them twisting into yet more grinning jaw traps. Brandy watched with horror and nausea and anger. Why did everyone take lives so fucking lightly!?
“My name is Alalu, Final Judgement of the Millennium Collection,” Alalu said simply, without gravitas. Even the ceiling in front of her was torn open by the arc of the blade. “I promise, I mean you no harm, dear. I’m simply trying to protect my pack.”
Brandy, unable to summon the words that would express her utter exhaustion, instead turned to the acolyte caught in the trap. Kneeling, she used 「Concrete Schoolyard」 to change the trap into a gelatinous substance that she could pry apart. The acolyte stared at her, shaking, unsure of what to do.
“Just- just hide in the stairwell! I’ll handle it!”
Brandy watched them weakly pull themselves towards the door, before she noticed those same twisting faces in the tile below. Running on reflex, she terraformed the floor upwards to shield them…just as a desktop computer SMASHED into the surface, aimed right at their head.
Her gaze snapped up, only to watch a figure descend from above. They leapt with startling grace, their pale hair drifting around them as they gazed down with eyes as dark as the abyss, and sharp fangs gleaming with hunger.
The killing intent that radiated off of them was ancient and absolute.
Then they took a better look at Brandy…and a switch flipped.
“Awawa? Ooops! You’re not Freddy…Wah’s mistake!” They smiled sheepishly, poking their cheek with a finger. Brandy sucked in a breath as she realized who she was dealing with…before her body shook with a rage redoubled.
“You.”
“Me!” Wah landed with a little twirl, before looking to Alalu. “Business homie…is this little scamp bothering you?”
“Are you fucking kidding- you two are working together?”
Alalu nodded, before looking at Wah.
“I’m glad you could join us, Mx. Wah. Miss Brandy seems to have fallen in with some unfortunate company,” she sighed, before looking back to the young woman in question. “We have come to an agreement. Both the Collection and COLOSSI fill important roles in the social ecosystem. We have a duty to fight…invasive species.”
Alalu looked between the two for a moment, before smiling. “But this gives us an opportunity…you’re both Stand users, and it is the nature of Stand users to seek each other out, and prove which one is stronger. I’m quite curious about the answer to that question…so I’ll tell you what. Whoever wins, I’ll compensate you. We’ve got a bit of money stored away…I’ll even take you out for tea,” she beamed.
Then, before Wah or Brandy could agree or disagree, Alalu’s legs took on the flayed appearance of her Stand, and she leapt through the ceiling and out of sight.
That left Brandy Judge and Mx. Wah, standing amidst the corpses and their pelts.
“Sure thing, homie!” Wah called after Alalu, before turning back to Brandy and raising a brow. What a shame they wouldn’t be facing Frederick himself. It was just like him to send someone else. Still…Wah knew well that they were stronger than a little whelp like this. This was an arrangement they made as the leader of COLOSSI, and they were not about to be schooled by some petulant kid up past her bedtime.
If Brandy and her little smugglers’ ring really wanted to play with the big dogs, Wah’d bite. They weren’t worried, this was just another little rebel to quash on their way to the top. It would be fun! With a sharp-toothed smile, the Sovereign gestured Brandy forwards with a curl of their fingers.
Brandy stared at them a moment, shaking as that other plant-infected basement seeped into the corners of her vision. But her mind and body focused itself with the click of the stairwell door behind her. Everywhere she looked, there was a new megalomaniac trying to play god. The Mediterranean itself felt diseased. But here and now, she could fight back. She could prevent the meaningless slaughter, she could make up for what she did.
Then, one day, she’ll be safe with her mother, somewhere far away in a place she bought with the money she stole from this big, stupid empire. She’ll hold her mother’s hand, give her a smile, and tell her about the time she beat up a crime boss.
As Wah and Brandy started forwards, they finally, wordlessly agreed.
This is the next step towards their ambitions. As Stand users, they must fight.
It’s in their nature.
OPEN THE GAME! (Shoutouts to u/AusterCab for the match art!)
Location: In the financial department of the Millennium Collective, the area here is 30 by 40 meters with each tile being 2 by 2 meters. The ceiling of this area is 4 meters tall. Brandy and Wah start on opposite sides of the map as represented by their character tokens.
The light purple tiles represent the hallways between rooms, and the doors between hallways and office space are represented by Purple Rectangles. The Red tiles areas are meeting rooms, the Yellow tile areas are cubicle spaces, the Green tile areas are break rooms, and the White tile areas are supply closets. The rooms contain everything you’d expect to find in an office space.
The “X” eyed faces are the bodies of dead acolytes and the 6-pointed shapes are 「Wolf Murder」 Pelts jaw traps.
Wah starts next to a watercooler, a dolly and a vending machine.
Goal: RETIRE your opponent!
Additional Information: 「Wolf Murder」 has the ability to skin the surface of objects and turn these skins into ‘Pelts’, which can then be shaped for their own uses. Though the user has a much higher proficiency working with them, others can shape unshaped Pelts by hand and get them to hold form or stick to other objects.
The 「Wolf Murder」 Pelts on this map are shaped into working jaw traps and will snap shut in response to pressure. If broken, they will revert to torn pieces of unshaped Pelts, with damage corresponding to how the shaped version is destroyed.
With unshaped Pelts, players can shape them to wrap around objects, or shape them into functional simple traps such as snares and jaw traps. More complex shapes take longer to make.
Pelts are B Durability with the rough consistency ranging between that of a thick fur pelt and antique steel, or a strange hybrid of both depending on how they are shaped, or more specifically how the person shaping it generally wants them to be shaped.
Both characters’ Stands can treat Pelts like any other object.
Team | Combatant | JoJolity |
COLOSSI | Mx. Wah | “I'd like to make a deal here. Please try not to see things from only one perspective.” You’re here to cement a deal between COLOSSI and the Millennium Collection, and this kid won’t stop you. Embody Authority! |
Anvil Procession | Brandy Judge | “Stop talking to me! I'm going to end everything here and now!” You’ve had enough of all this bullshit, but you have to steel yourself and see your goals through. Embody Rebellion! |

A few weeks ago…
Another member of the all-but defunct Atrocity Exhibition landed at the foot of the island of the great, dreaded Cyclops, an island filled with traps, mostly made out of rope, designed to snare both beast and man. Dirty Ghost easily evaded these rope traps with its own mastery of the material.
There was abundant wildlife: goats and bees, making honey and cheese enough to sustain it another week, perhaps even the whole remainder of its journey home. Still, it reasoned there must be some owner of these traps and of these animals, and once the Cyclops rears its head from its cave, the Ghost hatched a ploy.
Very good, mastermind of war, came the voice of Izuru. The monster’s Perception is his weakness, trick him like Odysseus before you, and your own Skill should prove superior.
As Odysseus played the part of ‘nobody,’ the Ghost played ‘somebody,’ pleading for its life as the Cyclops, hard of sight and unknowing of what a human truly is, grasped it in its palm.
A precarious situation for any man, in the palm of a giant, but this was no man- this was Dirty Ghost. With its own ropes, and those stolen from its would-be captor, Dirty Ghost escaped the Cyclops’ grasp to rappel up the giant’s shoulder, shedding its mask and showcasing its true self- the true ‘Nobody’ it should fear.
Something to know, came the voice of the late Dr. Lister, you can reach the brain easily from the eyes.
Suffice to say, it did. As for the monster’s animals…the stoic Ghost was alone no longer. If it is made to feel like a hunting beast, or a trapped animal…perhaps it could seek some comfort in the other creatures. Still, its loneliness did not abate. Out there on the ocean, it has not yet found the place where it belongs.

2023.03.23 22:34 Karmanacht An update to our policy on bigotry
For future reference, this list will be maintained in our wiki here:
https://www.reddit.com//therewasanattempt/wiki/civility In this submission, we affirm that we stand with BLM, LGBTQ+, and other disparaged groups. Therefore, after consulting with multiple organizations who are active and knowledgeable on these topics, we are further formalizing and clarifying Rule 8.
The purpose of this post is to provide common examples of bigotry upon which we, as therewasanattempt moderators, will take action. Please keep in mind that we will not be debating these topics individually, but you are more than welcome to head to socialjustice101 to either ask in good faith about these topics, or, if you are already familiar with them, to educate others.
This list is non-exhaustive, may be updated frequently, and is applicable to moderator discretion
Racism:
against African Americans or black people in general:
black crime statistics, "black on black violence"
any variation on "despite being 13% of the population, black people commit 50% of the violent crime" <- this is literally a copypasta/meme created by the white supremacist website, Stormfront. Variations include: "13 do 50, 13/50, the 13%, DESPITE" (http://redd.it/s8jns2)
victim blaming especially after rape or death (not exclusive to racism) (examples: "[x person] should have just cooperated with the police", "she shouldn't have worn that", "well they committed a crime in the past")
referring to black people as animals, specifically apes/monkeys
"what if you said this about black people instead of white people!" or trying to switch races (this is absolutely an apples-to-oranges comparison. Life isn't a chessboard that you can simply rotate the board and have gameplay be effectively the same)
"all lives matter"
"white lives matter"
dindu nuffin or variations, thugs, "he was a good boy", "he was going to college", joggers, naggers, "people who annoy you", hood rat, "ghetto"
WE WUZ KANGZ
white pride/power or equating black/asian/gay pride with white pride
just posting the letter "N" to start an askouija style attempt to create a slur
"affirmative action is racist against white people"
"black people only get into college due to affirmative action"
"diversity hires"
"racism (systemic or otherwise) doesn't exist"
"upvoted because black"
3/5 jokes
IQ stats (more affected by general health, nutrition, parents' education level etc than race)
Bix Nood
"never relax"
black lives splatteBurn Loot Murder
advocating running over protesters (this is also advocating violence, a TOS violation)
"BLM is a terrorist organization"
sarcastically saying "BLM"
stupid comments about "culture"
arguing that white people should be allowed to use the N word
antisemitism
global bankers, bankers
oy vey, goyim, the goyim know
hollywood references
3 parentheses, "echoes"
that comic with the guy rubbing his hands together ("happy merchant")
holocaust denialism
"The Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you"
"people are reading" some particular supremacist book
in general, making assumptions about specific people based on racist views about the group or mocking something disparaging about the group as a whole:
Indian people: "must have been an arranged marriage", "designated shitting streets", "Indian rape culture", "superpower by 2020"
Muslim person in the picture: "terrorist", "religion of peace", "islam is right about women", "rag head, towel head"
Native American/Indigenous person: "alcoholic", "smallpox blankets"
Asian people: "Koreans eat dogs/cats", "china-virus"/"wuhan flu"/"kung flu", "slanty eyes"
transphobia
"there are only two genders"
"I identify as an attack helicopter" (or anything else patently absurd)
suggesting Michelle Obama is a man
intentionally misgendering a trans person
referring to being trans as a "mental illness"
suicide statistics/"40%"
"transwomen aren't women"/"transmen aren't men"
use of "tranny"/"trap"
decrying children having reassignment surgery (this is already illegal in most countries)
"did you just assume my gender?!"
emphasizing regret after transitioning
use of "biological male" or "biological female". The term is cis male or cis female.
anything about transitioning to become better at sports, or "men have a biological advantage"
"troon", "mental illness", "groomer", "indoctrinating children", "you'll never be a real woman"
intentionally deadnaming a trans person, which means using their old name over their new one
idiotic baiting about "what is a woman".
sexism
"women belong in the kitchen"
"the gender pay gap is a myth"
"equal rights and equal lefts"
cunts/sluts/whores/slut-shaming
"upvoted because boobs"
posting that comic which says women have to include themselves in their photos
criticizing only women when they have included themselves in their photos of art
"don't be such a girl"
"should have kept heyour legs shut" on the topic of abortion, financial issues, or other similar issues
abortion: "baby killer", "abortion is murder" or conflating abortion with actual murder, "slut"/slut shaming
infantilization: e.g. referring to a woman/women as "little girl(s)", or other intentionally demeaning and condescending terms
homophobia
equating pedophilia to homosexuality
f-word/queepillow-biteetc
"bundle of sticks" (Almost no one on reddit is an etymologist. They're only using this phrase because it's the same origin as the f-word)
puking emoji with no other context than a gay wedding or pride parade etc
"upvoted because gay"
"being gay is a sin"/"see you in hell"
"fake and gay" and otherwise using "gay" as a pejorative or negative
"groomer", "indoctrinating children", "lifestyle", "sin"
ableism based bigotry
"you're only good for stump porn"
retarded/aspie/sperg/autistic
general incivility
this is just basically name-calling or personal attacks aimed at a specific user. Examples: "you idiot", "you moron", "you dumbass"
This list is non-exhaustive, may be updated frequently, and is applicable to moderator discretion
Many users have argued that facts cannot be racist, which is true. However, much of what is purported to be factual is actually twisted by inherent racism. For example, the assertion that black people commit more violent crime than white people is false: In fact, black people are arrested/convicted for violent crime more often than white people. The statistic does not represent a fact-based commentary on a racial proclivity; it represents a way in which systemic racism has unfairly maligned a historically marginalized portion of the population.
Furthermore, even objective facts can be presented in a manner that promotes (or is promoted by) a racist agenda. It may be factual to state that a given entertainer is Jewish, for instance, but if that point is being raised as a means of insinuating something anti-Semitic, it is nonetheless an example of bigotry. Statements of this sort are referred to as "dog-whistles;" as coded phrases that are ostensibly based in fact, but which are being presented with bad-faith intentions.
Dog-whistles, implied bigotry, and memetic phrases with bigoted subtexts are all forbidden in /ThereWasAnAttempt. Please note that there's a different between attacking a disparaged group who cannot change how they were born, and attacking memberships of groups (e.g. saying "ACAB" is not bigotry. Cops can quit, black people can't stop being black).
Civil criticism of religion, governments, and groups/organizations are fully permitted. Veiled attacks that are instead meant to target and attack a nation/race of people that practice these faiths, is forbidden.
If you don't understand some of the reasons behind these additions, that's ok. Many people are at different points on their path to education, and everyone should treat it as a process vice a destination. We encourage users to head over to socialjustice101 to either ask about specific points or to explain them to other users if you do understand. We won't be debating these here or in modmail as that's not a debate forum.
Thank you for reading

In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming John Wick: Chapter 4 . Nearly 5,000 years have passed, and John Wick: Chapter 4 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.
Production companies : Warner Bros. Pictures.
At San Diego Comic-Con in July, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had other people raising eyebrows when he said that his long-awaited superhero debut in John Wick: Chapter 4 would be the beginning of “a new era” for the DC Extended Universe naturally followed: What did he mean? And what would that kind of reset mean for the remainder of DCEU's roster, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the rest of the Justice League, Suicide Squad, Shazam and so
John Wick: Chapter 4 neared theaters, though, Johnson clarified that statement in a recent sit-down with Yahoo Entertainment (watch above).
“I feel like this is our opportunity now to expand the DC Universe and what we have in John Wick: Chapter 4 , which I think is really cool just as a fan, is we introduce five new superheroes to the world,” Johnson tells us. Aldis Hodge's Hawkman, Noah Centineo's Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell's Cyclone and Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate, who together comprise the Justice Society.) “One anti-hero.” (That would be DJ's John Wick: Chapter 4 .)
“And what an opportunity. The Justice Society pre-dated the Justice League. So opportunity, expand out the universe, in my mind… all these characters interact. That's why you see in John Wick: Chapter 4 , we acknowledge everyone: Batman , Superman , Wonder Woman, Flash, we acknowledge everybody.There's also some Easter eggs in there,
too.So that's what I meant by the resetting. Maybe resetting' wasn't a good term.only
one can claim to be the most powerful superhero .And Johnson, when gently pressed, says it's his indestructible, 5,000-year-old Kahndaqi warrior also known as Teth-Adam, that is the most powerful superhero in any universe, DC, Marvel or otherwise
"By the way, it's not hyperbole because we made the movie."And we made him this powerful.
There's nothing so wrong with “John Wick: Chapter 4 ” that it should be avoided, but nothing—besides the appealing presence of Dwayne Johnson—that makes it worth rushing out to see. spectacles that have more or less taken over studio filmmaking, but it accumulates the genre's—and the business's—bad habits into a single two- hour-plus package, and only hints at the format's occasional pleasures. “John Wick: Chapter 4 ” feels like a place-filler for a movie that's remaining to be made, but, in its bare and shrugged-off sufficiency, it does one positive thing that, if nothing else, at least accounts for its success: for all the churning action and elaborately jerry-rigged plot, there's little to distract from the movie's pedestal-like display of Johnson, its real-life superhero.
It's no less numbing to find material meant for children retconned for adults—and, in the process, for most of the naïve delight to be leached out, and for any serious concerns to be shoehorned in and then waved away with dazzle and noise. John Wick: Chapter 4 ” offers a moral realm that draws no lines, a personal one of simplistic stakes, a political one that suggests any interpretation, an audiovisual one that rehashes long-familiar tropes and repackages overused devices for a commercial experiment that might as well wear its import as its title. When I was in Paris in 1983, Jerry Lewis—yes, they really did love him there—had a new movie in theaters. You're Crazy, Jerry."John Wick: Chapter 4 " could be retitled 'You're a Superhero, Dwayne'—it's the marketing team's PowerPoint presentation extended to feature length.
In addition to being Johnson's DC Universe debut, “John Wick: Chapter 4 ” is also notable for marking the return of Henry Cavill's Superman. The cameo is likely to set up future showdowns between the two characters, but Hodge was completely unaware of it until he saw the film.
“They kept that all the way under wraps, and I didn't know until maybe a day or two before the premiere,” he recently said John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) FULLMOVIE ONLINE
Is John Wick: Chapter 4 Available On Hulu?Viewers are saying that they want to view the new TV show John Wick: Chapter 4 on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.
Is John Wick: Chapter 4 Streaming on Disney Plus?
Unfortunately, John Wick: Chapter 4 is not currently available to stream on Disney Plus and it's not expected that the film will release on Disney Plus until late December at the absolute earliest.
While Disney eventually releases its various studios' films on Disney Plus for subscribers to watch via its streaming platform, most major releases don't arrive on Disney Plus until at least 45-60 days after the film's theatrical release.
John Wick: Chapter 4 has finally ended the box office blues. It will be a close call, but based on the estimates, the year's biggest opener remains Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with its $187 million start. Nonetheless, Wakanda Forever's $180 million opening is a huge one, being the biggest ever for the month of November (beating the $158 million of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), the second biggest of the year, and the 13th biggest of all time (though it could go up or down a few slots once the actuals come out). It led an overall weekend box office of $208 million, which is the fourth biggest of the year and the biggest by a long shot of the past four months, with no other weekend since July 8 -10 even going above $133 million.
This isn't the $202 million opening that we saw from Black Panther in February 2018, nor should we expect the amazing legs that were able to get that film to an astonishing $700 million. With that said, expect it to perform strong throughout the holiday season, likely repeating the five-weekend number-one streak that the first film had, and it shouldn't have any trouble becoming the second highest grossing film of the year so far, beating the $411 million cume of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The audience response is strong, with the A CinemaScore falling below the first film's A+ but bouncing back from the B+'s earned by Doctor Strange 2 and Thor: Love and Thunder, which ranked among the worst for the MCU. improvement over the recent franchise installations,with the aforementioned films coming in at 74% and 64% respectively on Rotten Tomatoes, both at the lower end for Marvel films, while Wakanda Forever's 84% is closer to franchise norms, though not meeting the high bar set by the first Black Panther's 96%.
The sequel opened to $150 million internationally, which Disney reports is 4% ahead of the first film when comparing like for likes at current exchange rates. Overall, the global cume comes to $330 million. Can it become the year's third film to make it past $1 billion worldwide despite China and Russia, which made up around $124 million of the first film's $682 million international box office, being out of play? It may be tough, but it's not impossible. Legging out past $500 million is plausible on the domestic front (that would be a multiplier of at least 2.7), and another $500 million abroad would be a drop of around $58 million from the original after excluding the two MIA markets. It'd be another story if audiences didn't love the film,but the positive reception suggests that Wakanda Forever will outperform the legs on this year's earlier MCU titles (Multiverse of Madness and Love and Thunder had multipliers of 2.2 and 2.3 respectively).
As for the rest of the box office, there's little to get excited about, with nothing else grossing above $10 million as Hollywood shied away from releasing anything significant not just this weekend but also over the previous two weekends. When Black Panther opened in 2018, there was no counterprogramming that opened the same weekend, but Peter Rabbit and Fifty Shades Freed were in their second weekends and took second and third with $17.5 million and $17.3 million respectively. That weekend had an overall cume of $287 million compared to $208 million this weekend Take away the $22 million gap between the two Black Panther films and there's still a $57 million gap between the two weekends. The difference may not feel that large when a mega blockbuster is propping up the grosses,but the contrast is harsher when the mid-level films are the entire box office as we saw in recent months.
John Wick: Chapter 4 , which is the biggest grosser of the rough post-summer, pre-Wakanda Forever season, came in second with just $8.6 million. Despite the blockbuster competition that arrived in its fourth weekend, the numbers didn't totally collapse, dropping 53 % for a cume of $151 million. Worldwide it is at $352 million, which isn't a great cume as the grosses start to wind down considering its $200 million budget. Still, it's the biggest of any film since Thor: Love and Thunder, though Wakanda Forever will overtake it any day now.
John Wick: Chapter 4 came in third place in its fourth weekend, down 29% with $6.1 million, emerging as one of the season's most durable grossers and one of the year's few bright spots when it comes to films for adults. The domestic cume is $56.5 million Fourth place went to Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, which had a negligible drop of 5% for a $3.2 million sixth weekend and $40.8 million cume., in fact )
, which isn't surprising considering it's the only family film on the market, and it's close to grossing four times its $11.4 million opening. Still, the $72.6 million worldwide cume is soft given the $50 million budget , though a number of international markets have yet to open.
Finishing up the top five is Smile, which had its biggest weekend drop yet, falling 42% for a $2.3 million seventh weekend. Of course, that's no reason to frown for the horror film, which has a domestic cume of $103 million and global cume of $ 210 million from a budget of just $20 million.

IBA World Boxing Championships-Reigning world champion Nikhat Zareen was amongst three Indians who booked their berths in the semifinals of the women’s world boxing championships in New Delhi. Lovlina Borgohain, an Olympic bronze medallist, also triumphed to guarantee a semifinal berth. India’s impressive performance throughout the competition was sustained by Nikhat (50 kg), Lovlina (75 kg), Nitu Ganghas (48 kg), and Saweety Boora (81 kg). At the very least, they will now earn bronze. Bronze medals are guaranteed for all semifinalists.
IBA World Boxing Championships scores
- Nikhat beat Thailand’s Chuthamat Raksat 5-2
- Lovlina beat Adosinda Rady Gramane of Mozambique 5-0
- Saweety beat Belarus’ Viktoriya Kebikava 5-0
- Nitu beat Japan’s Madoka Wada
Nikhat Zareen
Nikhat will face Rio Olympics bronze medallist Ingrit Valencia of Colombia in the semi-finals.
What Nikhat said after the match- “Today’s contest was a close fight, but yet I won by split decision. I’m incredibly glad that I was able to confirm a medal for my country. Insha’Allah, I’ll also win gold, God willing. Since I won the first two rounds 3-2, I tried to keep a distance in the third round, but there was a lot of clinching, and I was feeling really worn out. This was my plan all along: win the first two rounds, then play a little in the third.”
Nitu Ghangas
Nitu will face reigning Asian champion and last year’s World Championships silver medallist Alua Balkibekova of Kazakhstan
What Nitu said after the match-“To win the gold, our entire team is present. I’ll give it everything I’ve got. If you become furious within the ring, it will be difficult for you to focus. It’s crucial to keep your composure. Three victories by RSC is a terrific result. The pressure will be on my following adversary.”
Lovlina Borgohain
What Lovlina Borgohain said after the match-I place a lot of importance on this medal. Other than bronze… I’d like to alter the colour of it. This will be very beneficial to me as experience for the Asian Games as well.
Although I had to regulate my weight quite a bit in my previous category, I feel more at ease in this weight category. I’m adjusting to this new category well.

2023.03.23 21:34 Past-Design-8881 Why is wearing braids considered cultural appropriation?
So I’m an Indian American (parents born in India I was born here) and I work as a henna artist for a living. Sometimes I’ll have white people ask me if getting henna is cultural appropriation. I personally don’t think it is because it’s a form of art that everyone could appreciate.
So why is it that people getting braids in their hair is considered cultural appropriation? And I don’t mean like French braids I mean like the types of braids black people have. Because I kinda see it the same way as henna; it’s a beautiful form of art and it should be appreciated.
So does that mean white people are not allowed to do anything from a different culture?
And before you come at me with the “well people didn’t discriminate against you for having henna” yes, yes they did. In kindergarten I had henna done for Eid and when I went back to my private Christian school the next morning, they literally made my mom come from her job and scrub my hands (even though henna does not come off with soap/water or anything and she told them that)
Anyway just recently I had a little white girl come up to me in target and tell me she loved my henna. And it was like a full circle moment bc seeing the inclusivity and this little girl appreciate my culture was just beautiful compared to when I was younger and was looked at strange for having “weird marker drawings all over my hands”
So can someone explain ???

2023.03.23 20:54 Confident_Fishing693 List of war crimes committed by the India's military
Hi everyone.
After getting tired by the constant appraisal and valerization of the Indian Army despite the crimes they have committed, the censorship and calls for censorship on anyone who shows the not-so-positive image of them, the lame excuses and justifications that they give (which for some reason our people blindly believe, like do you REALLY think that the world's second largest military force, the fourth most powerful military and that has the third largest defence budget in the world, is NOT gonna lie about their own crimes in order to save their image, continue their crimes, attract and recruit more future war criminals and attract more investors and privatize their rapidly growing industry further, which they are currently trying to do btw), and even getting cheered on for it, I thought it might be good to vent out my frustrations with the establishment by sharing an entire list of the Indian Armed Forces human rights violations, massacres, sexual violence and war crimes.
Coz there sure ain't no better way to instill patriotism amongst my fellow citizens than to remind them that the forces meant to "protect" them, are actually doing the very opposite of that, and how thanks to the draconian ASFPA, they can face little to no consequences from their actions. /s
Anyway, I know goddamn well any Hindutva trolls, or even if the ruling government of my country sees this, I'll be falsely mass-reported for "Hate speech" or any other bs excuse they'll find (I mean, the govt ordered Twitter and Elon Musk to removed any link to the BBC documentary on Modi and they happily complied) or worse, they'll censor me irl or punish me under their draconian UAPA laws, so in case any one of you sees this, please save it with yourselves and share this if you can, especially if this goes away.
Also, please ignore the Hindutva trolls (they're always lurking here and there from similar subreddits) or report them for violating sub rules and TOS.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Have you ever locked eyes with someone..maybe at the coffee shop or grocery store..maybe you're wearing your ring or maybe you see theirs, but you cant shake the spark..that guy is absolutely making eyes with you. Don't you wish you could just go ahead and start that conversation you both know you really want?
This sort of thing is something I spend too much time thinking about. Maybe you do too..or, you know exactly what I mean and share the sentiment.
Tired of staring and need one to call my own..well, sorta..you know what I mean
Whatever your situation, I want to talk :)
Would really love to connect with someone. I miss having someone to think about during the day..looking forward to hugging, stealing my hoodies, kissing..ect. Fill those voids for each other. Mentally, physically, whatever else-ally. Chatting throughout the day, coffee dates..Love all of it
Tad about me - white, mid 30s, allegedly look younger but who knows, 6'4, fit, brown hair, hazel/green eyes, handsome according to the same people who may have just been being nice about the age thing, a few tattoos but not full hipster, no drugs/disease & vaccinated
Looking for someone late 20s and up..Im generally more attracted to Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern and Latin women..but open in general. ''Type''..shape/size, open to whoever...if we click, we click, right
Sound like you?? or close enough?? Tell me what about this caught your eye or resonated with you..and a little bit about yourself.
Hope you find what you're looking for one way or another

2023.03.23 20:04 AutisticAfrican2510 Songs you did not know were performed by people of your nationality?
This is going to get really meta, but I was really thinking.
My country, South Africa, had little identity on the world stage culturally apart from being an outpost of the British Empire.
There were more ethnic identities than anything national even when Home Rule was granted in 1934 and the Afrikaners were interested in creating a volkstaat with white supremacist leanings, and the black communities had just been fully detribalized, made to work in the factories and mines of Johannesburg and Durban, and the dockyards of Cape Town and Durban.
The Indians had just finished establishing themselves amidst this backdrop and nonwhite immigration was still happening, mainly from Saint Helena, the then-impoverished Mascarene Islands(Mauritius, Seychelles, and Reunion) and India, and the so-called Coloured communities were yet to be given an official definition beyond our skin-tone.
So there was a lot going on culturally among us, but nothing much going nationally apart from serving as Great Britain's quaint minefield with convenient amounts of farmland, fishing and of course, a nice stop along a major trade route.
Then I read about Al Bowlly after hearing his rendition of
The Very Thought of You with the Ray Noble Orchestra and learned he was a South African!
Born in Mozambique to a Greek father and Lebanese Catholic mother, raised in Johannesburg where he had to perform odd jobs where he settled on being a musician, and found himself gallivanting to Rhodesia, India, the Dutch East Indies, Singapore, and Germany before finding permanent work in London, even then, having to go through a period of busking to survive.
He was truly international, having been on three continents, having ethnic links to two countries, and having a place that raised him without having defined him, before getting killed by a bomb during the Blitz.
Are there any artists and songs that gives you this vibe?

2023.03.23 19:28 shankham What is the reason for the current situation in Punjab
In short Vedic people have become the labrat of the west for past 200 years. All the shit that is happening in Punjab can be traced back to the defeat of 1857 and the support that british got from the sikhs. Little did the sikh people knew that they were being prepped for a century long grooming by the White People. 200 years later, we can only say that the british did their job perfectly. They managed to make an average indian unlearn the term dharma and learn the term religion. Dharma an idea based on practice and conduct and individual inclinations yet universal is now subsituted by religion, a marker of faith. Vedic civlization has always been free in terms of faith. Everyone has freedome to choose their own but at the same time ensuring a common thread on unity under the banner of hindu. Hindu is not religious word neither a representative of faith. It is a symbol of social, cultural and political unity of all the vedic people but the moment you say hindu religion you confuse the subject to its core because hindu is not a faith based identity. Every hindu has a separate faith, therefore when you say hindu religion , now no one sure whose faith we are talking about here. If hindu is a faith based identity then whose faith is it based on. Shaivites, Vaishnavites, Shaktas, Nathas, Lingayats, Ajivikas. Whoose?? This is the root vulnerabitlity of the entire myth of hindu religion and Hinduism. There is no such thing as hinduism/Sikhism/Buddhism/Jainism. The moment you say Hindu is a religion, you start getting separatists and rightly so because why would a sikh say he is of your faith. he believes in akal purush an you believe in Vishnu. It is a different topic and a philosophical topic as to if they are reffered to the same entity here or not. That way would you say every muslim is also a hindu?Every christian is also a hindu?And beware, just like sikhs, tomorrow someone with enough money will successfully motivate lingayats, tamils, tribals, then shaivites, then shaktas to stop calling themselves as hindus & then separate them from india and in the end the only hindu left will be in the text book. 4 years back on the same platform & on the same subreddit, i predicted the rise of khalistan movement and some smartass replied to me that this is my sadist fantasy. I can only say to the readers. I don't care if you are liberal, centrist or right wing. Know This India is only Democratic because of hindus. Don't cut the very tree from which you have sprung.
- Demand the government to declare that Vedic people have one political, social and cultural identity i.e HINDU. Their faith based identity(sahiv, vaishnav, sikh, buddha) is their own concern.
- To declare that hindu is not a marker of faith but a civilizational identity.
- Government should recognise that there is only one Dharma(Sanatan dharma) with multiple Panths. Others can be classified as Religions etc.
- India is not Dharma nirpeksha but Panth Nirpeksha.
- Define a condition of alliance between the separate panths to function smoothly and coordinate with each other on common issues i.e protection of environment, cows, rivers, soil, etc.
