Dylann's things

repost from my old acc + more info!!

his cameras

Cyber-shot DSC-W350 (the blue one)

14 megapixel Kodak Easyshare, model C1530 (on his neck)

lol, it's funny how they're all digital. To find the model of the one around his neck, I thought it was an analog camera, but I remembered he didn't have that much money to keep an analog camera, so I went after the digital ones.

his car

it's a hyundai elantra model 2000's

it was his father's car i guess. It's a sedan, one of the first models of elantra, cuz hyundai started to project them in 90's until i know

his gun

it's a glock 41 with a .45mm caliber, he bought it when he turned 21 and the money he used to buy it he got in his birthday, btw

well, the .45mm is a powerful caliber that has high impact force. glocks, in general, are a line of semi-automatic pistols used for tactical use or recreational shooting clubs or other activities. The Glock 41 specifically comes from a variation of the Glock 21, making it more susceptible to putting more cartridges inside. It has much greater accuracy (usually used by police officers)

his jacket

there are two flags on Dylann's jacket, one is from South Africa Apartheid flag, the other is from Rhodesia. These two countries are located on the African continent and, in the 20th century, they faced racial segregation. South Africa, for example, had specific areas for black people and specific areas for white people. Rhodesia did not have such direct segregation, but there were many laws that prevented interracial relationships or relationships between white people and black people in everyday life. These countries were under European rule, especially English.

his last.fm profile

in my opinion, this is the best curiosity of all!

The name "Derek Jeter 88" isn't a coincidence. Derek Jeter is a baseball player, he was elected fourteen times to the shortstop position in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game

these fourteen times plus the number 88 are a reference for "1488" used by himself in other accounts (aryanblood1488). Fourteen makes an allusion to the fourteen words "we must secure the existence of our people and the future of white children"

his gold's gym shirt

It's just research about "gold's gym shirt" and pick the black-golden option. It is a sports brand t-shirt exclusively for bodybuilding

his bunny

I still don't know for sure if it's his or not. But the bunny is wearing a full Confederate flag outfit, and the photo was apparently taken on top of Dylann's bed

his cat

The breed looks a lot like a Maine Coon, as the cat is larger compared to others, and its fur is quite long. It is a little difficult to identify from the photo

his skincare products

I was able to identify the orange one, and it is an Oil-Free Acne Wash, by Neutrogena. It is an anti-acne gel soap that prevents the appearance of pimples and contains vitamins to moisturize the skin.

Minior facts and/or care tips? Pls?

Minior Facts

-The scientific name for Minior is "Petra meteora" which roughly translates to "Rock meteor"

-Many researchers are confused about Minior's origins. They seem to be related to pokemon like Solrock and Lunatone, but many researchers still argue about this because of their flying type. Due to lack of evidence, Minior are classified with them, along with other rock types, as a placeholder

-While many people love witnessing Minior Showers (groups of Minior falling from the sky), Minior showers are also incredibly dangerous as they are heavy as Hell and WILL kill you if it hits you. Even if one falls next to you, the impact from the forming crater can still harm you

-Minior don't always die when they're shell comes off; a lot of the the death comes from the force of hitting the ground, which also causes their shell to break. Minior's shells can also break during battle, but they regrow back

-A group of Minior is called a constellation, a shooting, or a (meteor) shower

-Candy shaped like Minior is very popular in Alola

-To show affection to their trainers, Minior will float around their head in circles

-Because Minior grow up in clusters, a lone minior is a lonely minior. They need other pokemon around to be happy

-Minior can live for a very, very long time. The oldest Minior alive right now is estimated to be around a thousand years old, and lives in a sanctuary on Alola

-Minior can breed both sexually and asexually

-Minior eggs are small and look like their meteor form, but without the eye holes. Honestly, you'd be able to mistake it for poop. Minior do not stay to raise their young; instead letting the eggs float around in the sky until they hatch. Sometimes, the eggs will fall to Earth. Most don't make it, but some do and the Minior hatch here

-When Minior hatch, they are completely white. They change color when they start eating. Shiny Minior don't change color at all, and are born black

-They are conscious in their meteor form. It is a dumb debate

-Depending on the food they eat, they can change colors again. It's not one set color throughout their life time

-There've been instances of satellites breaking due to Minior hitting them either when their falling or floating through the sky. There compilations of it on Mewtube for anyone who is curious

Care Tips

-Minior eat dust floating in the stratosphere but, on Earth, they can eat pretty much anything. Preferably though, you should feed them foods with a lot of iron. They also like star candy, apparently

-When out of their cores, Minior are more sensitive to the elements. Please put them in their pokeball as fast as you can when it breaks or after a battle

-While Minior can be very melancholic about the fact that they'll never be able to return home, taking them to a planetarium can help them feel a bit better

-Do not underestimate how heavy these things are. The average weight for them is 88 lbs, but their rough, Rocky core can make lifting them yp painful. Rely on them follow you or put them in their pokeball if you want to take them places

“88 Shooting Stars” — Rui Kamishiro

[hotvintagepoll]

Propaganda

Eleanor Parker (Scaramouche, The Sound of Music)— Eulogized as a ravishing beauty who's looks were merely ornamental to her craft, feast your eyes on Eleanor Parker. Listen! I know you're thinking of the Baroness in Sound of Music and saying NO I won't protect the woman who tried to steal him from Maria but forget about that (like you personally wouldn't shoot your shot with Plummer)! The trailer for Scaramouche describes her character Lenore as "The glamourous queen of the nightlife of Paris. A flame-haired wildcat" and this is a woman who was able to pull off that role, and you get the vibe she was like that irl too. There's a story about her changing hair colors that never fails to make me laugh. Take note of her stunning eyes! Her amazing legs! And to see her in motion is to make note of the aura about her, she has an amazing presence. Fall in love with Eleanor Parker today, and make your vote count!

Sheila Guyse (Sepia Cinderella)—sheila guyse was a popular actress and singer in the 40s and 50s, appearing on broadway and in several independent films with all-black casts "For several years, Ms. Guyse (rhymes with 'nice') was compared to stars like Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne and Ruby Dee, black actresses who broke through racial barriers. But by the late 1950s she was out of show business, a result of some combination of health problems, a religious conversion and family obligations. [...] 'It wasn’t easy to be a glamorous movie star with people following you for your autograph and now you’re home making pancakes,' [her daughter] Ms. Devin said. 'She did it, but I don’t think it was easy.'" [submitted video below the cut]

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut]

Eleanor Parker:

“When I’m spotted somewhere, it means that my characterizations haven’t covered up Eleanor Parker the person. I prefer it the other way around.” So shy she was actively nervous about winning awards in person, her personal life remains mostly behind the scenes. But on screen? she was a force majeure. It's a shame the role most people remember her in is the Baroness in The Sound of Music, but then again, it did make Christopher Plummer reminisce upon her passing “I was sure she was enchanted and would live forever.”

Listen we all know Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews had insane chemistry but the Baroness deserves some love too! She has such a glamorous presence but not in a hard way

She will be known as the fabulous baroness in TSOM, but she was so much more than that. Just as comfortable in westerns or melodrama, the scheming other woman, and the beauty that wins the heart of every man in town.

Sheila Guyse:

Reminder to Project Sekai posters to be careful about using the number 88 out of context! Sure, it's a wonderful song and a symbolic number with Tsukasa, but it's also a antisemtic dogwhistle. If you want to talk about the song or anything, don't forget to include the shooting star, it's very important (88☆彡 instead of just 88)

See this post for info on why the number 88 can mean antisemtic things, and other important dogwhistles to look for and be cautious of.

I love you all, say safe, fuck Nazis.

Donald Sutherland

Commanding and versatile actor known for his roles in MAS*H, Don’t Look Now and The Hunger Games

Donald Sutherland, who has died aged 88, brought his disturbing and unconventional presence to bear in scores of films after his breakthrough role of Hawkeye Pierce, the army surgeon in Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H (1970), one of the key American films of its period. It marked Sutherland out as an iconoclastic figure of the 60s generation, but he matured into an actor who made a speciality of portraying taciturn, self-doubting characters. This was best illustrated in his portrayal of the tormented parent of a drowned girl, seeking solace in a wintry Venice, in Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now (1973), and of the weak, nervous, concerned father of a guilt-ridden teenage boy (Timothy Hutton) in Robert Redford’s Ordinary People (1980).

Although Sutherland appeared in the statutory number of stinkers that are many a film actor’s lot, he was always watchable. His career resembled a man walking a tightrope between undemanding parts in potboilers and those in which he was able to take risks, such as the title role in Federico Fellini’s Casanova (1976).

Curiously, it was Sutherland’s ears that first got him noticed, in Robert Aldrich’s The Dirty Dozen (1967). During the shoot, according to Sutherland, “Clint Walker sticks up his hand and says, ‘Mr Aldrich, as a representative of the Native American people, I don’t think it’s appropriate to do this stupid scene where I have to pretend to be a general.�� Aldrich turns and points to me and says, ‘You with the big ears. You do it’ … It changed my life.” In other words, it led to M*A*S*H and stardom.

Sutherland and his M*A*S*H co-star Elliott Gould tried to get Altman fired from the film because they did not think the director knew what he was doing due to his unorthodox methods. In the early days, Sutherland was known to have confrontations with his directors. “What I was trying to do all the time was to impose my thinking,” he remarked some years later. “Now I contribute. I offer. I don’t put my foot down.”

Sutherland, who was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, was a sickly child who battled rheumatic fever, hepatitis and polio. He spent most of his teenage years in Nova Scotia where his father, Frederick, ran a local gas, electricity and bus company; his mother, Dorothy (nee McNichol), was a maths teacher. He attended Bridgewater high school, then graduated from Victoria College, part of the University of Toronto, with a double major in engineering and drama. As a result of a highly praised performance in a college production of James Thurber’s and Elliott Nugent’s The Male Animal, he dropped the idea of becoming an engineer and decided to pursue acting.

With this in mind, he left Canada for the UK in 1957 to study at Lamda (the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art), where he was considered too tall and ungainly to get anywhere. However, he gained a year’s work as a stage actor with the Perth repertory company, and appeared in TV series such as The Saint and The Avengers. He was Fortinbras in a 1964 BBC production of Hamlet, shot at Elsinore castle and starring Christopher Plummer. He also appeared at the Criterion theatre in the West End in The Gimmick in 1962.

In 1959 he married Lois Hardwick; they divorced in 1966. Then he married the film producer Shirley Douglas, with whom he had twins, Kiefer and Rachel; they divorced in 1971. Kiefer, who grew up to become a celebrated actor, was named after the producer-writer Warren Kiefer, who put Sutherland in an Italian-made Gothic horror film, The Castle of the Living Dead (1964). Christopher Lee played a necrophile count, while Sutherland doubled as a dim-witted police sergeant and, in drag and heavy makeup, as a witch.

In an earlier era, the gawky Sutherland might not have achieved the stardom that followed the anarchic M*A*S*H, but Hollywood at the time was open for stars with unconventional looks, and Sutherland was much in demand for eccentric roles throughout the 70s.

He was impressive as a moviemaker with “director’s block” in Paul Mazursky’s messy but interesting Alex in Wonderland (1970), which contains a prescient dream sequence in which his titular character meets Fellini. In the same year, Sutherland played a Catholic priest and the object of Geneviève Bujold’s erotic gaze in Act of the Heart; he was the appropriately named Sergeant Oddball, an anachronistic hippy tank commander, in the second world war action-comedy Kelly’s Heroes; and he and Gene Wilder were two pairs of twins in 18th-century France in the broad comedy Start the Revolution Without Me.

Sutherland was at his most laconic, sometimes verging on the soporific, in the title role of Alan J Pakula’s Klute (1971), as a voyeuristic ex-policeman investigating the disappearance of a friend and getting deeply involved with a prostitute, played by Jane Fonda.

Sutherland and Fonda were teamed up again as a couple of misfits in the caper comedy Steelyard Blues (1973). It initially had a limited distribution due mainly to their participation together in the anti-Vietnam war troop show FTA (Fuck the Army), which Sutherland co-directed, co-scripted and co-produced.

Sutherland always made his political views known, although they surfaced only occasionally in his films. In among the many mainstream comedies and thrillers was Roeg’s supernatural drama Don’t Look Now, in which Sutherland and Julie Christie are superb as a couple grieving their dead daughter. Despite the dark subject matter, the film was notable for containing “one of the sexiest love scenes in film history”, according to Scott Tobias in the Guardian, the frank depiction of their love-making coming “like a desert flower poking through concrete”. The actor so admired Roeg that he named another son after him, one of his three sons with the French-Canadian actor Francine Racette, whom he married in 1972.

John Schlesinger’s rambling version of The Day of the Locust (1975) saw Sutherland as a sexually repressed character – called Homer Simpson – who tramples a woman to death in an act of uncontrolled rage. Perhaps Bernardo Bertolucci had that in mind when he cast Sutherland in 1900 (Novecento, 1976), in which he is a broadly caricatured fascist thug who shows his sadism by smashing a cat’s head against a post and bashing a young boy’s brains out. “And I turned down Deliverance and Straw Dogs because of the violence!” Sutherland recalled.

In Fellini’s Casanova, the second of his two bizarre Italian excursions in 1976, Sutherland coldly calculates seduction under his heavily made-up features. The performance, as remarkably stylised as it is, still reveals the suffering soul within the sex machine.

In 1978 he appeared in Claude Chabrol’s Blood Relatives, a made-in-Canada murder mystery with Sutherland playing a Montreal cop investigating the murder of a young woman. More commercial was The Eagle Has Landed (1976), with Sutherland, attempting an Irish accent, as an IRA member supporting the Germans during the second world war, and as a chilling Nazi in Eye of the Needle (1981). Meanwhile, he was the hero of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), who resists the insidious alien menace until the film’s devastating final shot.

In 1981 Sutherland returned to the stage, as Humbert Humbert in a highly anticipated version of Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, adapted by Edward Albee. It turned out to be a huge flop, running only 12 performances on Broadway. Both Sutherland and Albee played the blame game. “The second act is flawed,” Sutherland said. “Albee was supposed to have rethought it, but he never did.” Albee told reporters that he had scuttled some of his best scenes because they were “too difficult” for Sutherland because “he hasn’t been on stage for 17 years”.

Continuing his film career, Sutherland played a complex and sadistic British officer in Hugh Hudson’s Revolution (1985), and in A Dry White Season (1989) he took the role of an Afrikaner schoolteacher beginning to understand the brutal realities of apartheid. In Oliver Stone’s JFK (1991), he held the screen with an extended monologue as he spilled the conspiracy beans to Kevin Costner’s district attorney hero Jim Garrison.

After having made contact with young audiences in the 70s with offbeat appearances in gross-out pictures The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) and National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978), the latter as a pot-smoking professor, he was cast as an unconvincing bearded stranger in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992).

On a more adult level were Six Degrees of Separation (1993), in which he played an unfulfilled art dealer; A Time to Kill (1996), as an alcoholic, disbarred lawyer (alongside Kiefer); Without Limits (1998), as an enthusiastic athletics coach; and Space Cowboys (2000), as an elderly pilot. By this time, he was gradually moving into grey-haired character roles, one of the best being his amiable Mr Bennet in Pride and Prejudice (2005).

The Jane Austen novel was also featured in the television series Great Books (1993-2000), to which Sutherland lent his soothing voice as narrator. Other series in which he shone as quasi baddies were Commander in Chief (2005) – as the sexist Republican speaker of the house opposed to the new president (Geena Davis) – and Dirty Sexy Money (2007-09), in which he played a powerful patriarch of a wealthy family.

Sutherland continued to be active well into his 80s, his long grey hair and beard signifying sagacity, whether as a contract killer in The Mechanic, a Roman hero in The Eagle, a nutty retired poetry professor in Man on the Train (all 2011), or a quirky bounty hunter in the western Dawn Rider (2012), bringing more depth to the characters than they deserved. As President Coriolanus Snow, the autocratic ruler of the dystopian country of Panem in The Hunger Games (2012), Sutherland was discovered by a new generation; he went on to reprise the role in three further films in that franchise, beginning with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013).

He played artists in two art-world thrillers by Italian directors: in Giuseppe Tornatore’s Deception, AKA The Best Offer (2013), he was a would-be painter helping to execute multimillion-dollar scams, while in Giuseppe Capotondi’s The Burnt Orange Heresy (2019) he was on the other side of the heist as a reclusive genius targeted by a wealthy and unscrupulous dealer (Mick Jagger).

Aside from James Gray’s science-fiction drama Ad Astra (also 2019), in which he co-starred with Brad Pitt, Sutherland’s best late work was all for television. In Danny Boyle’s mini-series Trust (2018), which covered the same real-life events as Ridley Scott’s All the Money in the World, he played J Paul Getty, the oil tycoon whose grandson is kidnapped; while in The Undoing (2020), he was the father of a psychologist (Nicole Kidman), reluctantly putting up bail when her husband (Hugh Grant) is arrested for murder.

For the latter role Sutherland was in the running for a Golden Globe, having already received an honorary Oscar in 2017.

He is survived by Francine and his children, Kiefer, Rachel, Rossif, Angus and Roeg, and by four grandchildren.

“You remember me?”

Crosshair lowers the rifle, eyes narrowing as he eyes me carefully. It doesn’t take long to click in his mind as for a second, a glint of surprise flickers in his expression before he quickly recomposes himself. A scowl crosses his face and his eyebrows are quickly furrowed again. He stands still, shooting daggers at me through his glare. I know what's going on in his mind - a silent smirk lingers on my lips.

“Yeah,” I chuckle dryly, raising my blasters, “you remember me.”

Dark Gaia Sonic AU belongs to @cattyanon

Starhog AU belongs to @perry-88

Read more about them under the cut!

Dark Gaia Sonic AU-

Personality: Mostly the same as normal Sonic but there's some quirks due to the reason for his unsightly transformation. He's more… grim. Not nearly as peppy. Dark humor actually gets a laugh out of him now too.

Backstory: During the time where Dark Gaia takes back it's energy to form itself, including from Sonic, Sonic fights to keep it- He doesn't want Dark Gaia to get any stronger and he'd just come to accept his new werehog form! But something very unexpected happens during this game of tug o war. While trying to take back the energy that Dark Gaia was attempting to steal, Sonic accidentally ends up taking back more energy than he started with. Too much energy. Almost all of it, in fact.

Assuming Dark Gaia had been defeated some how, Chip goes back into the earth with what little of Dark Gaia's original form is left and uses his powers to send Sonic back to where they first met.

Unfortunately it doesn't take long for the consequences of Sonic's (albeit unintentional) actions to unfold in the form of a grueling transformation…

Abilities: Same as the werehog and Dark Gaia.

Etc: There's a constant war in his mind for control of the body, with Sonic just always barely ahead. Because of this he talks in chunks. "Which basically… means he talks… like this…" He's also prone to spacing out because of this too- although this mostly happens during the night since that's when Dark Gaia is at it's strongest. And although this is probably obvious when you think about it, but just as confirmation he is in fact immortal. He also loathes being the way he is now. At least as the werehog he could still run and go places more or less normally. But now? Now he's 147 meters tall… And there's a LOT more downsides to that fact. Namely things he can't really do now. One of the other most devastating beings that, due to them being so small now, he can't taste chilli dogs. Somebody would have to make a REALLY big chili dog for him to taste anything. Or maybe a lot? Either way it'd be a giant (no pun intended, but welcomed) effort to go through.

Starhog AU-

He's basically the Shadow of this AU, instead of shadow and Maria, it's sonic and Elise, he's the youngest of 3 "ultimate lifeforms". (different animals) After Elise sudden death, sonic went dark for the first time, radiating a Chaos blast killing almost everyone in the area. (His 2 siblings were in escape pods.) He became very weak after the blast, he doesn't remember anything between him fatigued of the chaos energy, and crash landing to south Island.

Since he's a part of ristar's species (think of it like, if the black arms were living with the humans for thousands of years) he can stretch his arms but they do have a limit. His paws are like a geckos and he can stick to things.

Tangle is his friend in this AU. He is very protective of her. He'll protect her if she's in danger.

Ivo didn't really know Sonics dangerousness until a fight with metal came and he absolutely demolished him. Ivo had to rebuild metal for 1&1/2 weeks.

Shooting stars (ristar species) were kinda wary of Sonics existence, most are now glad that tangle is with him.

Sonic is (technically) 30 in contrast to shadow being (technically) 50.
