Happy 30th Birthday Faye Valentine! (Although appearing to be no more than 23 years old, Faye is actually around 77 years old. This is because she was put into a cryogenic freeze after a space shuttle accident, wherein she spent fifty-four years in suspended animation.) Alternately, if she wasn't put on ice; but, just lived her life as the kick ass woman she is, she'd be celebrating the big three oh this year!

Superpowered Cowboys

Maybe he was just fighting the urge to bite Wildon. Either way, he couldn't believe he'd never tried this tact before. It was proving to be one of his favorites.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

I've got some good news - I've finished tallying up the results of the favourite anime survey and can now, finally, reveal what Tumblr's favourite anime actually are. To start with, I'd like to thank everyone who responded - yes, all 1172 (wow!) of you - and to apologise for he delay in actually getting these results out. For anyone who needs a reminder, these results are based on how many points each anime received - a first place ranking was worth five points, a second or third place ranking was worth four, a fourth or fifth place ranking was worth three, a sixth-tenth place ranking was worth two, and a eleventh-twentieth place ranking was worth one. When multiple anime had the same number of points, the anime with the most first-place votes was placed higher. The results are below the read more right here - I hope you enjoy reading!

Requested by @averyho, here you go!

Robin III: Cry of the Huntress #1-6 — This is the big one and the beginning of theirrelationship

Showcase ‘94 #5, Robin #6, and Showcase ‘94 #6 — This is a three part crossover storyline

Helena and Tim have some brief interactions in Robin #17 as part of the War of the Dragons crossover (Detective Comics 685, Robin 17, Detective Comics 686)

She also pops in and out of Batman: Contagion, it’s sequel event Batman: Legacy in a vague teaming up with Batman & co way. I will specifically call out Batman: Shadow of the Bat #53 for having a like, two page Tim and Helena scene which is important. To me.

Detective Comics #703 — This one-shot has a Tim and Helena B-plot where they talk about how she stands

Robin #34 — Tim and Helena encounter each other as teacher and student

Robin Annual #6 — they team up and dress up as cowboys. Essential reading.

Everything after this is more scraps, sadly

They’re both in Batman: Outlaws, but I can’t say I recommend Batman: Outlaws any and also I don’t remember if they interacted much in it.

Tim plays a minor role in Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood, vouching for Helena in issue #3 and shows up to bother her in issue #5. (Though honestly you should read Cry for Blood because it’s just good)

No wait, I lied. Read Joker: Last Laugh #5 and Robin #95 for the time that Huntress discovered Robin’s ‘dead’ body. (And you can also read Last Laugh #6 I guess if you want Dick beating the Joker to death, but there’s not really and Tim & Helena in it despite them both appearing)

Gotham Knights #38-40 — More scraps here, but there are some nice little bits and the storyline’s enjoyable enough. (even if it never gets followed up on ever… I’m not sore grumble grumble)

Batman/Superman #5 — There are a couple fun panels for them in here.

Yeah, sadly, I think that’s all I got.

Lookin' for adventure

'Born To Be Wild' by Steppenwolf

Life on a ranch wasn't always easy.

Life on a ranch a day after a storm, which caused a lot of damage, was even less easy. It honestly sucked – at least that was what you thought. The whole day after was only spent with getting things right again, cleaning up, clearing fallen trees out of the way, mostly fixing fences, and catching eloped cattle and horses. It was exhausting and incredibly tiring. But once all the work was done, you often found yourself on a ride out with your palomino Mustang stallion Arrow in order to take some time off and relax. Just like on this pleasant Saturday in spring...

The surprisingly pleasant warm Montana sun was shining down on you, as you rode down the mostly untrafficked road; past endless meadows and fields - always following the Yellowstone River. It was quiet and peaceful; all you could hear were the sounds of nature and the click-clacking of Arrow's hooves - until a rather disturbing... noise cut through the air and urging to your ears.

Motorcycles.

It was a rare thing that even cars drove down that road; trucks even less and now bikes? You scrunched your nose and gently guided Arrow to leave the road and continue the journey through the meadow.

The sounds of engines got closer and closer, until you saw about five or six bikes pulling up beside you in the corner of your eyes.

Must be a biker group or something...

They slowed down; almost coming to an halt beside you. "Hey!" A voice called suddenly out, causing you to stop Arrow in his movements and look to your left. One of the bikers had pulled off his sunglasses and was looking up at you; both feet planted firmly on the ground beneath him. Muscular arms led to gloved hands, which held on tightly to the handle grip; sunglasses dangling between deft fingers.

You adjusted the cowboy hat on your head; looking down to meet the man's - admittedly - stunning blue-grey eyes.

"Uh, hey," you called back. "Can I help you guys out?" The biker nodded. "Hope so. We got a lil' lost on our way," he explained in a very thick southern accent; voice a little muffled by his black helmet. You shrugged your shoulders; smiling. "Well, I can try. Where were you guys heading?" "Planned ta go to Billings, but kinda landed 'ere." You nodded; still smiling. "Ah, I see. Should've took route 94. This one won't lead you to much. You need to circle back and drive past Miles City."

The man - most likely leader of the biker group nodded. "How far from 'ere ta Billings?" "About 140 miles. If you're lucky, you can make it in two and a half hours." "A'right," the man nodded and put on his sunglasses again. "Thank ya." You gave him another smile. "No problem."

He gave you a last look, before he revved the engine of his bike and signalled his group to circle back. They followed his command and off they went. Your gaze followed them for a moment, before you gently nudged Arrow's sides. "C'mon, buddy. Let's head home. It's almost time for dinner."

You and Arrow made your way back to the Willow Creek ranch - owned and run by your aunt and uncle. Having lost both your parents when you were small due to a car accident, you and your older sister - Tess grew up on the ranch and were working there. Well, Tess longer than you; given the fact that you finished college not that long ago.

After taking care of your animal best friend, you joined your family for dinner.

"You coming later with me, sis?" You swallowed down the remaining food in your mouth and looked over to your big sister. "Where to?" She rolled her eyes in return, but smiled. "You know where, Y/N..." You sighed; poking around in your peas. "Tess... How often have I told you that-" "This isn't your thing, I know... But you have to try it first, right? How can you say you don't like it, if you never tried?"

You grumbled under your breath. Unfortunately, was Tess right.

"Yes, you should really accompany your sister, Y/N," acknowledged your aunt suddenly; agreeing with her. "You barely leave the ranch, honey. It will do you good." You sighed, but for the first time gave in; tired of all the constant discussions. "Alright, fine. I'll go with you - but if I don't like it, I'll leave immediately!" "Yess!" Your sister cheered. "You'll love it, I promise - but yeah, fine." You scoffed. "We'll see about that."

Partying and alcohol had never been one of your high interests and certainly not on your bucket list - yet, here you were standing now in front of the best bar in Miles City - according to your sister; located at the outskirts of the city... 'The Rowdy Racoon'.

You sighed; eyes directed at the building, while Tess just giggled. "I can't believe I'm doing this..." You moaned; already regretting your decision. Your sister was quick to grab your hand, "C'mon, sis... Loosen up a little and have some fun! It's Saturday night, for God's sake!" before you were able to cop out. You groaned again, but let yourself get dragged towards the entrance of the bar; past several vehicles and over the large porch, on which several men and women stood with drinks and cigarettes in hands; talking, laughing and having fun.

Loud music urged to your ears as you stepped inside. 'Born To Be Wild' by Steppenwolf - and just in that very moment, you felt like there wasn't a more fitting song on this whole planet for the scenery you walked in...

The bar was almost filled to the brim with people. Some of them were sitting at the large counter in the middle. Others were seated on some tables all around the big room. The rest of them was dancing, playing pool or tried their luck at the Pinball machines. It was loud, wild and crazy.

You hadn't even the chance to look fully around, since your sister dragged you further on to the bar counter. "Time for a drink, sis!" She announced in a sing-song voice; ordering two Whiskey Cola's. "We'll start slow," Tess said with a smirk; handing you the glass. You gave her a small smile. "Thanks." She clinked her glass against yours and took a sip. "Here's to an awesome night!"

Your sister's so-called 'awesome' night started surprisingly good - like you had to admit. Sure, you had to get a little comfortable first and getting used to being at a bar; warm up a little, but at some point it was really okay. Unfortunately, though, the tables turned after an mere hour. Friends of Tess had decided to come around as well and in the end, you sat alone at the counter on the bar stool; staring at your almost empty glass of Whiskey Cola.

This definitely wasn't how it was supposed to go... Not at all. It caused your mood to drop, of course; feeling alone and kinda betrayed. Tess invited you; took you here and now she had run off with her friends. You couldn't even leave, because you took Tess' car and she had the keys and certainly wouldn't let you drive. Great...

You sighed; turning the now empty glass in front of you in a circle, until...

"Thought I wouldn't see ya again, 'n certainly not 'ere," a familiar voice suddenly urged to your ears from behind you. You frowned and turned in your bar stool, only to meet the same blue-grey eyes you gazed into earlier this evening. It was the biker - but this time, he wasn't wearing a helmet. Chestnut brown hair reached in soft waves his shoulders; paired with a black baseball cap he wore backwards on his head. His chin and a little bit of his cheeks were covered in a slightly grey goatee, which fitted him perfectly.

You swallowed; couldn't help but to stare at him for a moment. He was downright attractive.

"Y-Yeah, uh, same," you stammered out, but quickly got your shit together again. "Didn't find your way to Billings yet?" The stranger chuckled and shook his head. "Nah. We decided ta spend the night in Miles City 'n head for Billings tomorrow." You nodded; smiling politely. "Wise decision." "Yeah," the man said and lifted his hand to scratch his beardy chin as if in a thinking manner. You noticed the tattoo on the back of his hand... A skull and... stars? Then he nodded at your empty glass. "You gonna let me buy ya a drink? Some credit fer ya help earlier. 'S the least I can do. 'Nother Whiskey Cola?"

You felt a slight blush on your cheeks. "Um, yeah, thanks." He gave the bartender a sign, who immediately worked to replace your empty glass with a full glass. "I have ta thank you," he answered; then looked behind at a bar table to where a few other people sat. His group, you thought. "Wanna join us? Ya seem a lil' lonely." You giggled dryly. "Yeah, my sister dumped me for her friends." You gestured at the dance floor; the biker's eyes following. "Kinda rude if ya ask me... C'mon, join us."

You swallowed; hesitating for a moment. You were a cautious person. After all you didn't know these people.

The man could seemingly read your mind. "They ain't bitin', I swear. All of 'em are very nice." "I-I, uh... I don't even know your name." He smiled crookedly, "'M Daryl." and walked towards his group again. Only now did you notice what he was wearing... Dark, slightly ragged jeans with a red rug stuffed in the left back pocket, a black, washed-out shirt and a angel-winged vest. Leather, as it seemed. Admittedly, you had a really hard time not to stare.

You hesitated for another few seconds and threw a look over to your sister again as well; noticing that she was still completely ignoring you and instead partied with her friends. Therefore, was your decision made. You slid off the bar stool and made your way over to Daryl and his gang.

An hour and another Whiskey Cola later, you had learned that they were indeed a biker group - from Georgia - making a road trip through America. You got to know the whole group as well, of course. There was Rick and Carol, which were Daryl's best friends. Glenn and Maggie - a young, kind couple living on a farm had joined the gang as well, just like Negan - a slightly annoying, but funny gym teacher. It was a crazy, but also perfect mix - and they all shared one passion... Motorcycles.

For an absolute non-expert in this new territory, you were absolutely fascinated. The stories they told you; the things you learned - it was fun and exciting.

Daryl and Negan invited you to a round of pool then; Rick and Maggie joining in as well. It was the best evening you had in a long while - but when the alcohol you had consumed slowly started to course through your veins and the music and chatter of the people became suddenly so very loud, you knew you needed a break. You were definitely not quite used to this, after all.

Stepping out of the bar and onto the porch, you took a deep breath; inhaling the fresh, chilly night air.

Yeah, the alcohol was present. You definitely felt a bit tipsy, but you were still fully aware of your words and actions, which was a good thing - and a stop sign you didn't plan to ignore.

"Ya good?" There it was again. That voice out of nowhere. His voice.

You looked to your left; seeing Daryl casually leaning against the railing with a cigarette dangling between his lips.

You nodded. "Yeah, just needed a break and some fresh air." The man took a deep drag; puffing out a cloud of smoke mere seconds later. Your eyes were still fixated on him - and you swallowed.

Hot... Why was that so hot? Him smoking?

"Me too. Needed a smoke." Daryl took another drag and stepped closer; hand fumbling in his trouser pocket. "Want one?" He asked then; fishing out a slightly squashed box of cigarettes and holding it out to you. "Um, I, uh..." You stammered; cheeks already turning red. "I dunno." "Ya ever had one?" You shook your head; biting your lip. The biker stepped even closer to you then; his body barely inches away from touching yours. "Ya wanna try?" Daryl took another drag, then held his cigarette in front of your face.

Hesitatingly, you leaned forward and took the little mouthpiece between your lips to take a drag. Feeling the smoke fill your lungs, you immediately started to cough and back up. A small smirk tugged at the corners of Daryl's mouth as he watched you; taking the cigarette back between his lips. "'S a normal reaction. Once you'll get used ta it, it won't happen again."

A short moment of silence passed, while you replaced the smoke in your lungs with fresh air and Daryl's eyes travelling up and down your body.

"Hey, uh, ya wanna get outta 'ere?" The man opposite you boldly asked with a charming smile; hands grasping the wooden beam above him. It caused the black shirt he wore to ride up and reveal some skin of his stomach; alongside a dark patch of fine silken hair.

For the second time this evening, you had a hard time not to stare and instead to focus on his question - which left you just as breathless; given the fact that you knew exactly what he insisted.

Before your brain was even able to ponder thoroughly over his question, your mouth answered with a quick, determined 'Yes' - which kinda shocked you yourself. Usually you weren't the one who gave in so easily and willingly to a one-night-stand with a 'stranger'; and yet here you were. Was the way he made you feel the reason? Or was it his kind, flirty and charming personality? Perhaps it even was his good looks. You didn't know; couldn't put a finger on it. All you knew was that he attracted you like a damn magnet. You weren't thinking about your sister or the others in that moment. The tall, handsome biker with his rough redneck edges was all you had in mind.

Daryl's smile widened at your consent. He took a last drag of his cigarette, before he stubbed it out in the little ashtray on the railing. "C'mon." The man walked past you, down the few steps and towards his bike.

Elegantly swinging one leg over to sit down on the vehicle, he replaced his baseball cap with his helmet. His fingers worked to start the engine. "You comin' or wha'?"

Greetings from Saturn! I have a prompt for you: Sergeant Price being an absolute nerd and yapping to Mac about the different plants he has or has seen while taking apart more of his pens.

I like to think that whenever his mouth is busy then so are his hands, which is admirable but dangerous at the same time because— you want to try and focus on what he’s talking about but can’t help worrying about whatever he’s touching.

And he switches topics bad. He could be talking about Captain America and then start talking about how he was made as war propaganda for kids.

Mac should've been finished completing the stupid paperwork in front of him for the day, keywords - should've been. But John had popped in to ask him about something roughly 46 minutes ago and now the lad is sitting across from him, dismantling his fourth pen so far, the one that used to be in Mac's hand and he's going on about Kurt Russell's influence in the production of the 1993 Western, Tombstone.

"-he'd give Cosmatos a shot list every night for what they were shooting the next day but let him present himself on set as the director so that Russell wouldn't outshine him. I mean, Cosmatos was hired as the director so it was his job to do but he just wasn't in a position to take on such a thing, especially for a movie that was so highly anticipated."

MacMillan nods, glancing at the spring that previously belonged in his pen which is now in John's hands. He bites back any comment he thinks about making, he isn't going to shoo the lad off. He'll sit through as much cowboy nonsense as John wants to spit at him.

"Understandable, Russell let the other bloke huv his moment. Very humble of him."

John grins, sitting down the spring and grabbing yet another one of Mac's pens to dismantle.

"Exactly, even Kilmer credits Russell as being responsible for the film's succession. Through acting and his behind-the-scenes directorial actions. The film wasn't completely accurate historically, Costner's Wyatt Earp in 94 was more historically accurate but it wasn't received nearly as well by the public as Tombstone. It might've been because it was released after Tombstone and audiences didn't want to see the same story again so soon but I think it's because Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid are just boring as fuck."

He snorts, leaning back in his chair as he crosses his arms and watches the sergeant animatedly explain his views on the two Westerns.

"That a can agree wae, Quaid shouldnae be forgiven fir Jaws 3. Costner's performance in Robin Hood offended me an am no even a fuckin Englishman."

John offers him an appreciative look. It's not often he sees John talking to people like this, the younger man had once let slip that his dad was never one for tolerating John's constant prattling. Mac wouldn't lie, John could talk the hind legs aff a donkey but he'd listen to him go on any day so long as the lad was comfortable enough to do so. Besides, he had learnt a lot about Tombstone in the past fifty minutes.

"Did you know that in Jaws 3-"

That was on him for mentioning another movie.

I'm tempted to watch One Piece just so I can understand, appreciate, and truly read your new comic >.<

oh god no dust don't join us down here in the pit aubsdkfjg. please understand. you have to understand that one piece is the most 'oh you'll love [minor character that appears over halfway through the show and gets a thimble of screen time]' series ever.

the 2 guys the comic is about?? cowboy hat (ace) first appears in episode 94. and is a side character for 7 episodes. and then leaves. and then pretty much isn't seen again for 250-300 episodes. and oh, oh you think that's bad? top hat (sabo, who is my favorite character btw!) doesn't appear until episode 494. in a series of flashback episodes in which he's a kid. and doesn't appear properly in the present time until episode 660ish, leaves around 730, and doesn't appear again until almost 900.

do not get into one piece to learn abt the blorbos i'm writing abt run run fast save yourself now aubdfkjdsfg

The formation of Team Star Breaker and how it might tie in with Chris's backstory.

We all know that the members of Team Star Breaker were selected by Dr. Ziggurat due to their compatibility with the arrangement system. What is interesting is that the team wasn’t fully formed when Ziggurat recruited Zeo around the time the qualifiers for the Japanese team were ending. The doctor was already the manager or coach of the team, and it already had a name at the time.

As a result, we could simply assume that Ziggurat had the authority to choose whoever he saw fit to be part of the team. And according to Ryo in episode 94, that’s essentially what happened.

However, Metal Fury seems to deliver new informations. Chris's backstory reveals that he once participated in what seems to be a tournament for qualification in the U.S. team. While it’s not 100% certain, Chris is a common diminutive for Christian or Christopher, which are common Western names. Judging by Wales’s interaction at the restaurant in episode 67, it is safe to assume that the European qualification tournaments were individual-based as opposed to the one Chris participated in with his team. Finally, Chris’s outfit is reminiscent of cowboys, who are often associated with the U.S. in popular culture, so he could be from there.

The tournament we see in the flashback requires participants to be in a team of three, which is quite different from those we saw in Metal Masters. The qualifier tournament in Japan was divided into two parts: the first, where bladers had to acquire the most points, and the second, where the four best would fight for the positions. The second qualifier tournament takes place in Savannah. It also consists of two parts: three battle royals that will decide three bladers who receive a bracelet. They will then have to defend it for 24 hours.

You may have noticed that these two competitions prioritize individual bladers first to create a team of the strongest bladers rather than simply selecting the strongest team. This approach seems odd and counterproductive if you aim to win the championship because, even if you have a strong team, it could be uneven, like the old Team Dungeon or even Team Wild Fang. As a result, even if your team consists of two powerful bladers, you could face a team of three stronger opponents, leading to defeat.

However, there is one advantage to this particular format. It works well if you want certain people on the team, or more specifically, if you want to ensure that the team you manage includes all the kids you’ve trained/experimented on. What I am suggesting here is that the team format ensured that the members Ziggurat selected from HD Academy would become the U.S. representatives because, in his eyes, they were the strongest team possible. Supporting this is the existence of mighty American bladers like (possibly) Chris. He was already strong at the time and had Phantom Orion, which was a powerful bey even without the star fragment. So, there was a real threat to Ziggurat's protégés. Ziggurat is prudent, methodical, and has blind faith in his invention, so it would make sense that he believed he had created the strongest team, one that would benefit the most from the tournament format. He could have also easily influenced the officials to structure the qualification tournament in this way. Not to mention, he already held the coach position before the team was chosen, and he very well could have bribed the appropriate people. After all, he paid the Garcias and wasn’t afraid to toy with Toby’s life to keep Zeo obedient, so what’s a few bribes?

If this theory is true, it would give new context to Chris's backstory. Because of this tournament, his friends thought he was too strong and turned their backs on him, leading Chris to become the cold-hearted and greedy mercenary blader we meet in Metal Fury. This would be particularly ironic, as he would have ended up working for the very people who indirectly caused this to happen to him.
