#99.9% canons available

I'mma Talk About Ships || Open!

[You REALLY wanted the spice, huh? :'D

Whether I ship it or not: AHAHAHA. Absolutely not. Especially not in the way it's portrayed in canon or even by fanon 99.9% of the time.

Why I ship it or not: In this essay, I'll....basically, it just makes no sense. It was absolutely made a thing because they wanted Trunks to exist, and Vegeta was the only available Saiyan. It's an absolute disservice to BOTH Bulma and Vegeta as characters because, imo, they're settling for partners neither of them would really be into realistically. For a multitude of reasons.

My opinion on their canon potential (chemistry, canon interactions, etc): Well, they're already canon, unfortunately, but they absolutely have zero chemistry, As I said, it's a forced relationship for plot reasons that they continued to force because I guess Bulma being a single mom was a Bad Look. I didn't mind them too much in the Buu saga as they portrayed it mostly realistically: as fairly strained but with their own brand of care for each other in it. But as the series progressed, especially with Super, it's just so fucking OOC that I gag any time they're forcing some stupid, shippy scenario with them.

My opinion on fanon interpretations/fandom around it (Favorite widespread hcs, pet-peeves, etc): Honestly? I think I've only seen one fan interpretation of this that I agreed with, and it went along the lines of a sort of "we agreed to get married for convenience" relationship. The rest is just as disrespectful to the characters and OOC as canon. The fandom at large really views this ship with THICC rose colored glasses and therefore fail to see all the toxicity and red flags that come from BOTH characters toward each other.]

Mcshep as Destiel

first thing's first: this ask is evil. cursed. this is the kind of text that even Dr. Daniel Jackson, successor of the great Evelyn 'I-don't-believe-in-cursed-texts' Carnahan-O'Connell, who canonically possesses 0.1% self-preservation instincts, will not touch with a ten-foot pole.

no fandom archivist / enthusiast worth their salt would want to wake up in the morning & immediately sustain massive psychic damage upon seeing a notification like this:

understood? cool.

now that we have those disclaimers out of the way, dear anon, we can play ball.

let me preface my actual response by saying that my experience with Supernatural & Tumblr’s Golden Ship has been unorthodox, at best.

when spn first came out, I was a child, but a child with an indulgent father who cultivated my love for cinema & urban fantasy. we got into Supernatural wayy before Castiel was a thing. we watched it diligently as soon as the newest episode became available in my country. my dad would quiz me on the case’s salient points, and we’d talk about the monster-of-the-week & how it compares to the creatures in our own folklore. Supernatural was, to some extent, educational. heh. (yes, i was very much a minor. yes, my parents were pretty lax on the exposure to blood & gore. I grew up fine, all things considered.)

we stopped our religious following of the show around the time the Leviathan storyline was unfolding. my father & I loved Bobby, and we were also starting to notice a lack of focus in terms of plot & direction. the rest of my exposure then to SPN was courtesy of Tumblr, which I managed to compartmentalize thanks to my other hyperfixations with high fantasy & sci-fi shows.

BASICALLY, what I’m saying is that I know Supernatural like a kid knows their local urban legends. and that, plus my current hyperfixation on All Things Stargate, has been a cause of many a crossover & fusion ideas.

but there’s a reason I’ve been dragging my feet when it comes to actually making content for these plotbunnies (and why I have yet to include spn for my McShep AU series). it’s because the whole thing is bound to be chaotic.

(by the way, dearest anon, what the actual heck made you send me this cursed ask? exactly which blog posts made you go, “ah. this Kit person loves Stargate & McShep, and would absolutely know something about Heller stuff.” WHERE did i go so wrong??)

ACTUAL RESPONSE:

it’s sooo easy to have Rodney as Castiel + Sheppard as Dean. (bitchy, sanctimonious fandom favorite? self-loathing, repressed, & too-pretty-for-his-own-good green-eyed action hero? practically cardboard cut-outs)

but here’s the thing, my lovelies: Kit thinks otherwise (and yes, I just referred to myself in third person. “mentally unstable as a fox“ and all that jazz)

1. Rodney is Dean because while Sheppard’s Daddy Issues are more overt & present in-text, Rodney’s are closer to the Winchester Kind of Daddy Issues (in that there’s pressure-from-beyond-the-grave to carry on with the ‘family business’. in this hypothetical AU, it could be hunting, it could be science, take your pick, but Rodney-as-Dean has taken it upon himself to be the Good Son, and it’s 99.9% because of Dad McKay.)

“This is not what dad would've wanted.”

"Shared credit, huh? We'll do this together? Dad'll be so proud."

- 3x08, McKay & Mrs Miller

2. Rodney & Dean both have a kid sibling who wants out (who wants a normal life outside the family business, dammit.) really no need to elaborate on that. Jeannie is Sammy. I dont make the rules.

3. Rodney & Dean both have that one-track-mind drive to do what they think they do best, their only purpose for existence, to the point that they cannot see anything beyond that One Thing (science, hunting/protecting their younger sibling) because that’s how they were raised. their perceived Only Talent becomes their whole identity, and when that is taken away from them, there’s (at least according to them) virtually nothing left.

4. Sheppard is Castiel because of the gay coding. c’mon.

5. Sheppard is Castiel because grace & ATA gene can be metaphors for each other, and I think that’s pretty cool.

6. Sheppard is Castiel because they’re both Soldiers who rebelled & disobeyed shitty orders because it went against everything they are & have ever believed in. there was a fundamental disconnect between what they’d been asked to do & what makes them them, so they went up against The Man, and said, No.

7. Rodney is Dean because they refuse to believe in a higher power that governs everything they do. they tell the universe what’s what, not the other way around.

8. Rodney is also Dean because the only exception to this is Sheppard & Castiel. if the higher power (God / Ancients) had a hand in the creation of this Being, then maybe it’s good for something, after all.

9. Sheppard is Castiel because they share an inability to say no to this one person they keep having to save over and over again, even when said person’s ideas are shitty and risks everyone & everything in this plane of existence.

10. McShep as Destiel will have Rodney McKay as a stubborn & competent man who embodies everything good and bad about humanity, and whose misguided views on family & masculinity are forever changed when someone who is Definitely A Little More than Human chooses him as their favorite person ever; it’ll have John Sheppard as the Prodigal Son Extraordinaire, who damns himself & all that is holy because he just wants to save his best friend, this flawed human he’s come to treasure beyond reason, from himself.

[yuiskyi]

One thing that really annoys me in crossovers:

When powers from other worlds suddenly appear / are accessible in the host world.

Sometimes I swear it’s like an infectious disease.

Someone from Naruto arrives and suddenly people can access chakra (with help of course).

Someone from KHR arrives and people can now summon flames.

Someone from FMA arrives and now Alchemy is suddenly really easy and able to be taught to normal teenagers. (I’m looking at you, Harry Potter.)

Fate Series. BAM! Everyone has circuits they can use. (I’m exaggerating, but STILL.)

It’s so irritating.

The last two powers are something that needs to be studied intensively – not even MENTIONING the compatibility the person has to possess for these abilities. Alchemy is a lifestyle. Magecraft is a lifestyle. These are dedicated crafts you have to devote your life for.

Some random John Doe cannot suddenly transmute concrete into a structure. Not even main characters can.

Harry Potter is not intelligent enough to understand and apply the theories of SCIENCE. He is average. He lives in a magical world where logic doesn’t apply. He’s intelligent in other ways, sure, but not the kind where he can practice Alchemy.

AU’s exist, yes. But when you make a True-To-Canon character learn something FAR out of their skill range, it’s just stupid. And annoying. Once again, unless you make Harry a genius, he will not be using Alchemy. 99.9% of Hogwarts too, for that matter.

There’s a reason why Alchemists are mainly full-grown adults.

Magecraft. Enough said. (Or it should be.)

Don’t get me started. Even full-on GENIUSES spent YEARS learning magecraft.

Dying Will Flames are circumstantial and restricted to the residents of that world, so help me-

(Okay, I admit that I have no idea what’s going on there but I doubt Trinisette exists anywhere else, soooo… that’s my reasoning.)

People don’t even take into account the physiology of these characters.

Big Chakra Tree Fruit makes chakra systems = Not available to worlds that don’t have anything that relates to it.

Magecraft originates from the World, Root etc. that exists in Nasuverse = Not happening. What happened to the Age of Gods and where are the circuits???

Trinisette.

Truth.

Evolution. These people from their respective worlds evolved to possess these abilities. Also whatever spiritual / supernatural phenomena that allows it to happen.

I know I’m being anal about it, but I’m sick of seeing it everywhere.

I’ll still read it, sometimes, but wow does it get on my nerves.

These are just my feelings and thoughts and I wanted to rant. I don’t care. I feel better after writing this though.

Cheers.

I call bullshit on AFO somehow stealing Chakra and Flames. Or any other non-BNHA powers.

MRNA vaccines and Clarke's Law

Pluralistic is my mutli-channel publishing effort - a project to push the limits of POSSE (post own site, share everywhere) that allows me to maintain control over my work while still meeting my audience where they are, on platforms whose scale makes them hard to rely on.

Every day, I write 1-5 essays and syndicate them over Twitter, Tumblr, Mastodon and email, with the canonical link at pluralistic.net, a CC-BY licensed Wordpress site with no tracking, data-collection or ads.

https://pluralistic.net

Now, I've added another channel: Medium, where I'm part of a group of paid writers who contribute a mix of original material that's exclusive to the platform and syndicated material from elsewhere.

https://doctorow.medium.com

I was delighted and honored to be invited to the program by editorial director Jon Gluck and I'm happy to be working with Megan Morrone - whom I've known since her Twit days - as my editor. I've been syndicating my Pluralistic posts there and it's been going great.

Yesterday, I published my first Medium-original post: "Manufacturing mRNA vaccines is surprisingly straightforward (despite what Bill Gates thinks)," which discusses vaccine apartheid and the covid vaccine patent exemption petition at the WTO.

https://doctorow.medium.com/manufacturing-mrna-vaccines-is-surprisingly-straightforward-despite-what-bill-gates-thinks-222cffb686ee

The post breaks down an amazing scholarly article on mRNA vaccine manufacture, “Rapid development and deployment of high‐volume vaccines for pandemic response” (DOI: 10.1002.amp2.10060), from the Journal of Advanced Manufacturing and Processing.

https://aiche.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/amp2.10060

The authors - a mix of public health, chemical engineering and vaccine specialists from Imperial College and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative - describe the results of their modeling of new mRNA vaccine factories, based on the experience of ramping up covid vaccine facilities.

They base their findings - contrasting mRNA vaccine production with conventional vaccine production - on an open-access Superpro Designer model (available at Github).

These.

Findings.

Are.

Amazing.

https://github.com/ZKis-ZK/RNA-vaccine-drug-substance-production-techno-economic-modelling

Seriously. Like Clarke's Third Law/indistinguishable from magic Amazing. How amazing? Well. compared to conventional vaccine production, mRNA factories are:

99 - 99.9% smaller

95 - 99.7% cheaper

1,000% faster

If you convert a single closet in a conventional factory to mRNA production, it will make more doses than the rest of the factory *combined*. Only part of the factory needs to be a high-spec cleanroom facility, and the rest can be cheaper and more easily maintained.

Spend $20m to build one of these microfactories, install a 5l bioreactor, and, for $100m/year, it will produce *one billion vaccine doses*.

As I wrote in my Medium piece:

> JESUS FUCKING HOLY GODDAMNED SHITBALLS

These aren't performance gains in GPUs or SSDs. These are gains in nanoscale chemistry producing precision medicine for human consumption!

Now, that said, there are some caveats. You still have to figure out testing, materials and distribution (of course).

But even there, it's easy to see how these vast reductions in cost, scaling and logistics will help - from producing medicines for trials more quickly to reducing cold-chain logistics by making vaccines closer to the people who will receive them.

Every pandemic ends with a lot of serious chin-stroking and demands to "learn some lessons" and "prepare for the next one," but this never seems to happen.

https://www.wired.com/story/its-already-time-to-stop-the-next-pandemic-can-a-prize-help/

As the JAMP authors say, the next pandemic - or even epidemic - will require a very fast rampup of vaccine production, as will any vaccine breakthroughs for treating current endemic viruses.

The production modeling they do here suggests that we actually can prepare for The Next One.

And as I say in my Medium piece, this is also how we can end the current vaccine apartheid and avert the next one.

[neednothavehappenedtobetrue]

hello! it has not been a completely terrible eating day and I have occasional moments of focus and cheer! last night I got to sleep... while it was still dark outside at least, and this morning I woke up almost on time. the bar is really low, but I have surmounted it!

yesterday I listened to a whole podcast with my human ears and did not zone out totally. I also did some writing! My novel is not working, as it very often does not work when my brains are total garbage, but I get more depressed when I do not write at all.

the solution here is to write total nonsense garbage about whatever pops into my head. this explains every fanfiction I've ever written and also all of the posts on here where I write about my characters playing tabletop games, for which I faithfully roll actual dice and adapt the plot to the real numbers.

currently the total nonsense garbage I am writing is 50% high-stakes political drama, the sort of thing I often write, and 50% lesbian romance, more explicit than I usually write by a good bit. I write very little romance, so this is unusual for me.

I took Isabelle, one of my major characters who some of you know, and reverted her partially to a very old version of the story (without the very stupid parts) so I could play with a different timeline and such. It's much nearer future, no spaceships unfortunately. Robert was the president when he was murdered, which causes much larger problems for the government and Isabelle has to flee the country, etc. The narrator and eventual love interest is a Russian former diplomat salvaged from elsewhere. The story is told in second person, because I didn't have a name for her initially and it seemed like a good way to avoid using one, given that I can barely read first-person smut, let alone write it out of my brain.

Why is Isabelle in a lesbian relationship? (a actually, her canonical sexual orientation is "please do not try to talk to me about this, I do not want to discuss my personal life with anybody, particularly after my husband's death. if you want to go ahead and assume I am straight because I was married to a man, that is not a problem for me." and also (b what, like I'm going to write heterosexual romantic nonsense? please.

(if you're curious, Robert's canonical sexual orientation was "definitely bi, the important people know this but now that I am a Senator and also married to a woman it comes up very infrequently in conversation. sometimes I want to correct people on the rare occasions they say wrong things to me, but usually it would be complicated to be like "actually," so people just think I'm an ally with no time for their shit. Theo's is "if I decide I love you, I will spend a lot of time arranging your life for your maximum benefit and a bit of time murdering your enemies, as needed. you can have whatever gender you want as long as you do not attempt to do gender at me.")

anyway! the political high-drama/romantic nonsense is in progress. if anyone particularly wants to read a version of it with the smutty scenes removed when possible or very heavily abridged when too plot-relevant to be entirely removed, let me know and I will send something to you when it's finished. I will leave the sappy parts, though.

an unabridged version is not available, as you must be a level 9 friend to unlock any information about my personal preferences and I'm not going to try to pretend to you that the content choices in this story I am writing for 99.9% my personal entertainment are completely unaffiliated with my own opinions. you would not believe me if I tried.

Things I Like RP Partners to Know

I like to be called: Angel [I have alts and trying to refer to me by just one character name leads to confusion]

One (or several) thing(s) you should know about me: My schedule is a nightmare for doing anything IG consistently. I work the graveyard shift--10 hours a night, Mon-Thurs--and Fridays are usually spent half-recovering. I'm most commonly available on Discord and best in the afternoon thru to the wee hours (say... 6 PM Eastern to 6 AM Eastern). IG time is usually reserved for game content, GPose (can't you tell I'm a GPose addict? :D) and a little bit of RP with people I have ongoing stories with.

Also, sometimes I do need to be reminded that it's my post in Discord, but I also will not chase people down to reply or constantly poke at people to "get that RP done we talked about." If you want to RP, reach out via Tumblr DM or Discord and we can chat, but I've spent many a hour waiting around for people to reply so now I'll pitch the ball into your court and if it's not returned, I won't keep chasing it down.

One (or several) thing(s) you should know about my characters: Annalei d'Latu is both (technically? I guess?) lore-breaking and a villain. She is actually damn hard to get along with; I don't recommend trying first time RP with her.

Summer Bellmayne is a mystel raised in Il Mheg by pixies and travels to and from the First via the dream doors in Lyhe Mheg. Yes, this is lore-bending. No, you don't have to acknowledge it if you want to engage with the crazy romance novelist. Just chalk it up IC to her being very off-kilter.

C'allie Kyho flirts. A lot. This is absolutely not a demand for ERP--no character has to take flirting as a "I'll stop RPing if you don't put out." This is also not an advertisement for ERP. She's become a lot more selective about her 'outside fun' now that she's settling down a bit.

C'esti & Chessi are pretty chill and no one will really encounter Tsukiko outside of the d'Latu house, so everyone's safe there.

First language: English (My only language because yes, I am lame)

HIGHLIGHT: Tumblr- here and Anna's (which is NSFW) (because I hate Twitter and will NOT touch it)

Age range: under 13 | 14–17 | 18–22 | 23–25 | 26–29 | 30+ | 70+ (LOL It jumps from 30+ STRAIGHT to 70+ like there's no in-between!)

Am I okay with NSFW?: yes (within reason) | no | some nsfw

My favorite/most common thing to RP is: angst | fluff | smut | crack | action | plots | AUs are fine | violence | darker themes

Canon Character RP Friendly?: yes | no | depends (and yes I changed this from "OC" to "Canon" because 99.9% of FFXIV RP that I've seen is all original characters)

RP blog: does contain ooc posts | doesn’t contain ooc posts | occasionally contains ooc | Aesthetic SCREENSHOTS

[lil-creatorwritings]

So you’ve done Mitsuhide’s route, eh? Do you want to cry even more over his route?

Warning: Major spoilers for Mitsuhide's route, at least until finishing Chapter 10. I have warned you right off the bat, so don't come complaining to me that you didn't know.

Disclaimer! I have no formal education about Japanese culture. I am not Japanese either. I don't know if Cybird did these details on purpose.

So this came around while I was yelling about Mitsuhide's route with @plumpblueberry and she was the one who pushed me to make this post. With the combined history facts taken from ye ole Google search and my brain's overthinking ability as if I had just rolled a natural 20 on a DnD dice, here is potentially more reason to love and appreciate or cry a river over his route! I mean I'd like to think that this is canon but if it's not, then just enjoy this fictional trail of thought with me! Also if you're knowledgeable about Japanese history, culture and the symbolisms in it, please don't murder me if I'm wrong. ;;

So if you've made it this far, I'm assuming that you've done Mitsuhide's route to completion (wherever ending you chose to do first doesn’t matter). I think we can all agree that one of the most loved parts of his route is around Chapter 8, when he climbs up to MC's room to "tease her one more time" and give her a present--the beloved kanzashi (or hairpin in English).

Back then, it was said that it had magical powers to ward off evil spirits and was used as somewhat of a good luck charm. These things have different kinds depending on their shape and about a million designs, from flowers, nature, animals and such. And bellflowers, in the flower language, often mean "affection" and "everlasting love". It can also be given to express gratitude. 

So that's easy to associate--Mitsuhide's telling her how much he loves her and that he'll love her for all eternity with a pretty good luck charm. But another thing about bellflowers is that, as Kyubei says in the next chapter, it is also the Akechi kamon (family crest).

He says that it's an Akechi's way of praying for you. "To wish for your victory, regardless of what trials you face." Mitsuhide has recognized that she's come to rely on him and since he isn't there anymore (at least, for the time being), it's also a reminder from him of how strong she's become as a person. That she'll survive and eventually be able to return back to her time period.

Now at face value, the gesture itself is sweet. Receiving a gift from someone you love is always heartwarming. But that isn't the only thing that I mean.

Remember how in Chapter 5, Mitsuhide surprises us by saying that he wanted to marry her? Of course she doesn't believe him, but I would not be surprised if he was 100% serious. We all know that he's madly in love with her at this point of the story. Plus it's obvious that he enjoyed playing as her husband back in that western village a little too much for it to be fake.

Way back in the Edo period (and I assume even in the Senguko as well), marriages were 99.9% political since they were commonly used to form and solidify alliances. Elders in the family would play matchmaker (omiai) and set a meeting with a potential suitor. Insert classic trope of marrying within your social status and being banned from marrying someone with a lower social status as your family. If the woman is available and the man would like to propose, the next step would be an engagement ceremony (yuino), where the family would exchange symbolic gifts. And these gifts, ranging from dried fish to a special thread to actual money, can also be an accessory.

Like, say, a hairpin. A special hairpin.

It isn't uncommon for a man to gift a woman a kanzashi during the yuino (or outside of it, like just as a legitimate present). It's like an engagement ring, in a modern view. But there's another special detail--its design. As I said, kanzashi can have several designs, which yes, can include a kamon. And back then, when a woman wore a kanzashi with a specific kamon, it's highly likely that it is the kamon of her lover.

And you have to remember that not everything was ready to buy back then! Today, you can buy a ring at any time you want and have it in your hands within minutes or immediately. Things were being crafted from raw materials and were hand made back then, which need time and for someone to put the labor in to making it. Kyubei said that Mitsuhide had already prepared the gift even before they left for the village. He had already decided then, even before he even thought of having the hairpin made for her. This isn't on a whim--this was done with purpose and intent, to follow up on his word to marry her.

So yes, it appears (at least to me) that he had essentially proposed to her with that hairpin. For real.

My mind was blown with that realization too. Because I can't help but wonder--why would Mitsuhide risk jeopardizing his whole scheme and get caught just to deliver it to her personally when he could have tasked Kyubei to deliver it to her? And it is a mere coincidence that he chose a bellflower as a design, which also happens to be his family crest? Mitsuhide isn't the type of person to do something without reason as the route has shown us, so I don't think his choice of design was random by any means. And say, for argument's sake, that Mitsuhide had no deeper intention with the design (maybe he chose bellflowers because it was pretty), why would Kyubei bother to talk to her about the crest, that he had prepared it much earlier and that out of all the things his lord could have asked to be brought to him when he was imprisoned--it was this one specific thing he absolutely had to get?

Again, this is just my personal interpretation and should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm in no way saying that this is canon. I'm not saying that my personal association with the history facts is accurate because a lot of things and meaning change over time. But even if Cybird didn't intend it, I think it gives more weight and meaning to his actions and the scenes that surround it.

Jinx

For @blazeofobscurity, who helps more than she knows with plotting out things for Magnum-verse. I am a solid 99.9% positive this isn’t how first meetings went down between Rick and TC, but it’s totally my head canon and you can pry it from my cold, dead fingers (even if they cover it in the show). Oh, and @chrisii-the-random-whump-writer - this might count as whump, so I don’t know if you want to be tagged in this or not, but lemme know if you don’t, and I’ll fix it!

Three gunners in six months. That had to be a new kind of record.

“I think I have just the guy for you,” Greico said, a slow, Cheshire like smile forming. “Yeah. I know I got just the guy.”

“He good with guns?” TC asked. “And heights?”

Greico shrugged. “Who fucking knows? He’s a scout sniper. Lost his spotter to a case of nerves, or so he says. Personally, I think he’s the one who scared the guy shitless.”

TC raised an eyebrow. “And you’re gonna give him to me? It’s not even the same MOS.”

Greico waved his hand. “It’s the Sandbox. It’s like Kansas. Nobody cares about us here. But he’s the best shot I’ve seen in…shit, years. And he’s good under pressure. Last place he and his spotter were dropped was shy of the Korengal and nary a scratch on them.”

TC whistled appreciatively. The Korengal was a nightmare to fly. High mountains, trees obscuring the ground, radio interference, no place to pick up or set down and crawling with Taliban looking to take pot shots at low flying hueys with everything from rocks and slingshots to RPGs. Visibility was crap in the air. He didn’t want to imagine what it was like from the ground.

“Who is he?”

“Orville Wright,” Greico said, and TC accidentally inhaled his water instead of sipping, coughing and spluttering as he tried not to die.

“Are you fucking serious? That’s his name? His actual name? Not just some weird ass nickname I don’t even want to guess the origin for?” he wheezed in between breaths.

Greico edged another glass towards him, curling his lip slightly at the spit all over his desk. “God given, apparently.”

“Christ,” TC gasped. “No wonder he likes shooting people.”

“I didn’t say he liked it, I said he was good at it,” Greico amended, then looked thoughtful. “Though to be fair, he has been known to whistle on his way to work, so…who knows. He might be a psychopath. We don’t screen for that type of thing anymore.”

TC frowned. “Budgets?”

Greico snorted. “I wish. Nah, now it’s considered discriminatory to ask about someone’s mental health before we hand them a rifle and ask him to kill on behalf of Uncle Sam and the Sons of Liberty.”

“So your plan is to give me a sniper who may or may not be a serial killer in uniform who doesn’t even have the right MOS for the job? Is it because you hate me?”

Greico snorted into his coffee cup. “No, that’s because of budgets.”

TC sighed. Perfect. Just what he needed. Another ulcer.

“You want to meet him?”

“No.”

“Good,” Greico said, slapping his hand on the desk as he put his feet on the ground. “Come with me.”

*&**&*&

“Besides being a possible sociopath, anything else you can tell me about him?” TC asked, easily keeping stride with the senior officer as they made their way across base.

They were considered a combat zone, despite being on base, so fortunately no one saluted. It was one of the things TC hated about being an officer, but if it meant he got to fly, it was a small price to pay.

“You mean besides his parents clearly hated him?” the colonel asked, snorting. “Yeah. His enlistment papers are bogus. But he’s good enough at his job no one cared enough to look into them. No drug history, so that’s a solid. A little temperamental.”

TC pulled up short. “Hold up. How ‘temperamental’ are we talking here? I ain’t flying with a moody itchy trigger finger.”

Greico didn’t even break stride, forcing TC to jog a few steps to catch up. “Nothing too extreme. Can’t be too twitchy if you’re gonna hit a target at 2000 meters.”

TC blinked. “2000 meters? Was that a freak shot, or what?” That was over a mile.

“Don’t know. Kid’s been in closer quarters ever since, but I betcha if money was on the line, he could make it at 2100. Or further.”

Well, shit. No wonder the Marines didn’t go poking to heavily at his history. The longest sniper shot on record currently was just shy of 2500 meters, a little over a mile and a half.

“He’s not a bad kid,” Greico said. “Got a hell of a chip on his shoulder for reasons unknown. The ladies seem to like him well enough. Hasn’t stabbed anybody, on purpose or otherwise, so that’s a plus. Got an attitude problem though. Thinks he’s the toughest guy around, and so far, he’s been right. Naturally, it’s caused a little…friction with some of the other men.”

“Wow, sir. Way to upsell this kid. Sounds like I’ve struck gold.”

Greico snorted at that. “Ha! Like you’re one to talk. You’ve lost three gunners, Major. And no, it doesn’t matter that only one of them died it was just a lucky shot by some haji with a rifle. No one wants to ride an unlucky bird.”

They were getting towards the enlisted quarters now, which were just row upon row of numbered Quonset huts. The air conditioning units by the doors shook and rattled and sounded like they were on their last breath – which they probably were.

“Here we are,” Greico announced proudly. “Lucky number 13, Major. Looks like it’s fate.”

TC fought the urge to roll his eyes as he followed the colonel through the door.

&^&&^

It sounded like Fight Club.

It looked like Fight Club.

Over a dozen enlisted in various stages of dress – some in their full BDU’s, some still in their tees and boxers, and everything in between gathered around the far end of the Quonset, shouting at the top of their lungs. They stood on tip toes and braced against their friends’ shoulders to see over heads, stood on top of bunks and whatever available piece of furniture there was to see whatever the hell was in the middle of the circle they’d formed.

“What the hell is this?” TC shouted to be heard over the cheering.

There was a crash, and a roar erupted from the crowd. TC could just see someone being lifted and slammed like a linebacker onto something that broke with a crunch.

Greico offered a shrug and tapped the shoulder of the closest Marine. “Hey, who’s winning?”

The younger Marine whipped around, clearly about to rip the colonel a new one for interrupting when his eyes caught the eagle on Greico’s collar.

“Officer on deck!” he shouted, elbowing his buddy hard in the ribs as he jumped back a step to the foot of a cot, snapping to attention. As Marines noticed what was going on, and who was suddenly in their midst, they scrambled for their position in front of any rack available.  

As they jumped to either side clearing a path, TC could finally see what they’d been cheering on. Two Marines, still oblivious along with the edge of the circle who were only now realizing what was happening, were in the middle of a fight.

Both of them looked like they were giving as good as they got – the one still standing was tall, broad shouldered and the poster child for the term jarhead: tattoos up and down both arms that were as big around as TC’s neck, boot camp styled high and tight haircut and wearing his BDU’s. His nose looked soundly broken, or at the very least, sufficiently bloodied, one eye darkening with an impressive shiner.  

The one on the ground was only slightly smaller and a lot younger, built less like a brick shithouse and more athletic and considerably shorter, dirty blonde hair just shy of being too long to be in regs and the beginnings of an unauthorized five o’clock shadow darkening his jaw – though that might be more bruise than beard. He only had his BDU pants on, though they were comparably faded from what they should be. Like other guy, one eye was starting to swell shut and his teeth were stained red from a sliced inner cheek and he was lying amongst the wreckage of what was presumably once a table he’d just been slammed into by the Hulk towering over him.

Neither one seemed to notice the officers, until one of their buddies shouted, this time much louder without the added jeering of the crowd to cover it, “Officer on Deck!”

The tall brute of a Marine snapped to, hands obediently and expertly snapping to his sides as his heels audibly clacked together.

The one on the ground stayed there, breathing hard and not impressed enough by a colonel and a major to pick himself up off the ground.

“I present to you sergeant Orville Wright, Major,” Greico said proudly, stepping to one side as he gave a Vanna White impression. “Your new door gunner.”

TC eyed the muscle bound Marine dubiously. He looked like a serial killer. Or a flunkie bad guy from a Rocky sequel. He would be surprised if the man could even fit in a ghillie suit, but Greico seemed impressed enough with him, so TC figured he at least owed the guy a shot.

“Nice to meet you,” TC said, about to extend his hand in greeting.

The Marine on the ground took that exact moment to rear his knee back and slam his foot into the other guy’s groin.

The jarhead made a noise that wasn’t quite a scream, and not quite a squeak as he curled in on himself, doubling over and collapsing to the deck in the fetal position as he turned a violent shade of red and purple as every other man in the room hissed and winced in sympathy as one entity.

“Nice to meet you too, Major,” the kid on the floor huffed. He turned his head to the side and spat out a wad of red before turning back to TC, looking at him upside down from the ground as he held out his hand, knuckles torn and bruised. “You can call me Rick.”

Like, while you can argue Iyami has been to France in ep. 6 of -san S1, they made a point to show he never got to actually step in French soil: the president of France took back his citizenship offer and sent him back to Japan before he could actually leave his airplane so I guess it doesn’t count.

And I’m 99.9% sure Iyami has never been to France in “regular” -kun canon (the remaining 0.1% is because I haven’t read a lot of the manga beyond of the little that’s available online for free). There IS one 80s -kun AU in which he’s an actually French movie director that’s obsessed with Japan instead and he has once appeared living in the margins of the Seine river as a hobo in a cameo in Fujiko Fujio’s Obake no Q-Tarō manga (which can’t really be considered canon) but I think that’s it.

IPL SOPs: Players can't meet teammates before third –ve test | Cricket News

New Post has been published on https://jordarnews.in/ipl-sops-players-cant-meet-teammates-before-third-ve-test-cricket-news/

IPL SOPs: Players can't meet teammates before third –ve test | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: The Indian cricket board (BCCI) has prepared the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the upcoming IPL in UAE in September. As per the document, accessed by TOI on Wednesday, players will not be allowed to meet their teammates until they clear the third Covid-19 test upon reaching UAE. That implies that the players will have to be holed up in their single occupancy rooms for almost a week. Even after clearing the test, common dining areas have been prohibited. Players will be tested every five days. The franchise medical team should obtain a complete medical and travel history (since 1st March 2020) of all players and team support staff at least 2 weeks before the scheduled departure to UAE. This will be done via an online questionnaire along with a daily temperature logging and symptom checker going live 2 weeks before the team’s assembly. As reported by TOI on Wednesday, the board has recommended franchises to arrange smaller, secular properties for accommodation to avoid sharing the AC ducts in busy hotels. Even if the franchises opt for a hotel, they should ensure they book an entire wing with a separate centralized air-conditioning system from the rest of the hotel. TOI had reported that few franchises are already looking at resorts and apartment complexes. The IPL SOPs also suggested that the teams should preferably fly the players to UAE in chartered flights. The other important point in the SOPs is about families travelling with the players. It is clearly stated that the family members won’t be allowed to interact with anybody outside the bio-bubble created by the franchises. Families can’t get close to the players during training and matches. They are prohibited from entering the dressing rooms and travelling in team vehicles. They can’t even share food. Players are discouraged from changing at the ground. They are urged to arrive at the ground in their training kits. Player kits will be stored at the ground too. The empty stands could be used as extended dressing rooms too. It has also been stated that there should be limited seating in the dugout and there shouldn’t be any sharing of pens or pads. “Where available, Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon (Shycocan), a device that has the ability to neutralise 99.9% of the coronavirus that might be floating in the air in closed spaces, will be installed,” document said.

I think it’s definitely beneficial if you blacklist the pairing tags. Xkit also offers a blacklist feature and it is available for Firefox and Chrome.

When you go to various fans of a pairing and basically give them reasons why the pairing shouldn’t exist it’s harassment and going to read as pairing hate whether you mean it to be or not. It comes across as rude.

It’s okay to not understand a pairing. You don’t have to like that pairing, or any pairing within the fandom, but Hetalia is so open ended that there are tons of pairings all over the place. It probably helps that I’m an older fan, but basically my approach is if I don’t care for it, I keep scrolling. I don’t have the time or energy to worry myself over fictional characters and how/why they are shipped. It may also help that I’m in the scanlation group, so I’m just happy to see people get excited about their favorite characters being together. It’s fun!

I’m pretty sure most people who said things like “it’s canon!” don’t seriously believe that. They are just excited. There are no current canon pairings in Hetalia, and I will always stand by that unless Himaruya ever chooses otherwise. But I’m 99.9% sure he’ll never confirm such a thing. I think he just likes seeing his fans get excited too.

I think as long as you leave things be after this, there won’t be any problem. I hope your venture through the series and fandom becomes a little less frustrating.
