#DOCTOR-IANA

[itsohh]

I've been listening to all the audio record for the r6s operators in arknights and I had a few thoughts

I think I've realised in all my hours playing frost I never really listened to her voice. Its actually really nice.

I always was like 'haha kapkan frost friends cause they both trap operators' but her voice lines actually really back that theory up

Frost calls the Doctor sir which is big sad as a female play BUT it's also really funny if I think about it that she just asumes my Doctor is male and shes too embarrassed to correct Frost

Intrestingly enough they translated all of Tachankas Russian lines to English in the subtitles but they didn't with Fuze (малыш was translated) (same goes for the rest of operators I'm just using them as an example)

I did very much short circut when Tachanka said малыш ngl. covered my face and everything. Vlado Stokanic did a fantastic job

Ash's voice sounds kinda different than in the game. Perhaps its the sound mixing or maybe its just the voice actor but she sounds older. At first whenever I borrowed Ash I wasn't a fan but its really grown on me.

I straight up just don't understand what this Ash voice line means

Especially after reading through her event, I think Ash has grown a lot as a character in Terra.

I think all the second crossover voice acting sounds exactly the same as the game (r6s), it could be just because of the voice actors age or perhaps the mixing, it could also be because their tone of voice is pretty much the same as when they say the same lines in r6s. Eg Ela's depart line sounds exactly (it is rerecorded tho) how it does in the game. "No time to waste". The second crossover operators shout some of their lines where the first crossover operators say all of them

I love Blitz I do but his voice lines have made me realise if I was paired with him in combat I would slap the shit out of him. Hes such a nerd, I understand why Ash is so done with him

This Iana line gets so me so hard because its like, is she talking about the fact shes human in Terra or is this a reference to her albinism and her compromised retina? My poor baby I love her

That all being said I still think they all did a fantastic job and for a still anime picture I think they have made the characters feel so alive, even with just a still anime picture. Then again the r6s cross over kinda exspanded the charactisation of most of these operators more than ubisoft has in the last uh 5 odd years.

Blake Leibel lived a life of luxury in Los Angeles, California. Leibel was the son of Lorne Leibel, a sailor on the country’s 1979 Olympics team and prominent real estate developer, and Eleanor Leibel, the daughter of Paul and Leona Chitel who founded Alros Products Ltd.. He grew up in Toronto’s Forest Hill neighborhood before moving to Los Angeles where he lived off an allowance of $18,000 per month. Then when his mother passed away, he inherited the majority of her estate, including the lavish home in Forest Hill which he sold for $5.5 million.

Online, Leibel appeared to be thriving in the bright lights of Los Angeles. He directed several episodes of the cartoon adaption of the movie, Meatballs, and he wrote or  co-wrote a number of graphic novels and a “space opera comic series.” He also helped to run a publishing company that put out a comic in partnership with Wilmer Valderrama. He was married, had two young sons and the family lived in Beverley Hills. However, despite the fact that he seemed successful, Leibel had practically no income from his endeavors and depended on his father to pay his credit card bills. In 2015, he filed for divorce and shortly thereafter, his new girlfriend, Iana Kasian, fell pregnant.

In 2010, Leibel created the graphic novel “Syndrome.” The plot follows a doctor’s quest to isolate the root of evil in the brain and tries his experiment out on a serial killer. In a case of life imitating art, Leibel would later brutally murder Kasian in a crime which was said to “follow a script” from the graphic novel..... 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞:

One year later, Ravi and Iana agreed on trying to have children. It was the longest year of their lives. They kept trying over and over but the pregnancy tests were all negative. After a few appointments, the doctors told them that it will be harder for them to have a baby than any “normal” sims.  After trying two more times before being disappointed and kinda resigned, they chose to stop playing with their emotions and started looking for adoption. Their request was validated and soon they’ll welcome one new family member !

Ready-Made Kid (From adopting a child) After all the wait, Ravi and Iana are about to become parents !

Czy trening siłowy chroni przed kontuzjami?

Trening siłowy daje nam mnóstwo benefitów jednak nie jest w stanie nas uchronić przed kontuzją. Możemy jedynie ograniczyć ryzyko wystąpienia urazu. Dzieje się tak dlatego, że uraz jest zjawiskiem wieloaspektowym.

Ryzyko urazu możemy podzielić na:

Fizjologiczne i anatomiczne np. Poprzednie urazy, miesiączka, wiek

Żywieniowe nieprawidłowe żywienie, nawodnienie

Związane z technika niewłaściwa technika, brak optymalizacji

Behawioralne kognitywne przekonania o bólu, brak skupienia, zaniedbania psychiczne, strach przed kontuzja

Sprzętowe nieodpowiednia nawierzchnia, zle obuwie

Treningowe deficyt regeneracji, deficyt sprawności, deficyt siły

Związane z charakterystyką sportu powtarzalne ruchy, pozycja, zasady gry

Atmosferyczne zm iana warunków pogodowych, wilgotność

Wszystkie znajdziesz na grafikach.

Wszystko to wpływa na to czy doznasz urazu.

Jednak nie na wszystko masz wpływ np. Pogoda. Więc skupmy się na tym na co realnie możemy wpłynąć i zaakceptujemy tę grę uraz może pojawić się zawsze jak i zawsze możemy zginąć w drodze do pracy : )

Nawet jeśli zdarzyło się, że doznałeś urazu to prawdopodobnie porządna rehabilitacja pozwoli Ci wrócić do pełni sprawności. Ilość zysków płynących z treningu oporowego zdecydowanie przewyższa jego minusy (o ile jakieś są hehe).

W takim razie jak dbać o tę siłę?

Wykonaj 1-6 powtórzeń na zmęczeniu 7+ na 10. Wykorzystaj wielostawowe ćwiczenia. Pomiędzy seriami odpocznij 3-5’. Wykonuj serię aż dojdziesz do swojego maksymalnego ciężaru na danym ćwiczeniu.

Reszta treningu? Uzupełnij według własnych preferencji.

A Leaf in a Stream.

The matriarchs of Minari—Youn Yuh-jung and Han Ye-ri—talk to Aaron Yap about chestnuts, ear-cleaning, dancing, Doctor Zhivago and their unexpected paths into acting.

A delicate cinematic braid that captures the sense of adventure, sacrifice and uncertainty of uprooting, Lee Isaac Chung’s Minari might be the closest approximation of my immigrant experience on the big screen yet. Sure, Arkansas is a world of difference from New Zealand. But those dynamics and emotional textures of a family in the process of assimilation—authentically realized by Chung—remain the same.

The film is a wonder of humane storytelling, with the American-born Chung encasing deeply personal memories in a brittle, bittersweet calibration that recalls the meditative, modest glow and touching whimsy of an Ozu or Kore-eda. As Jen writes, “To describe Minari? Being embraced in a long, warm hug.” Or perhaps, it’s like Darren says, “floating along peacefully like a leaf in a stream”.

Neither is alone in their effusive praise. Minari rapidly rose to the top of Letterboxd’s Official Top 50 of 2020, and by year’s end our community had crowned it their highest-rated film. Despite its cultural specificity—a Korean family shifting to the Ozarks in the 1980s—the film has transcended barriers and stolen hearts. Run director Aneesh Chaganty says, “I saw my dad. I saw my mom. I saw my grandma. I saw my brother. I saw me.” Iana writes, “Its portrayal of assimilation rang so true and for that, I feel personally attacked.” The versatile herb of the title, Kevin observes, is “a marker of home, of South Korea, but it can grow and propagate as long as there is water.”

Though a large portion of Minari was vividly drawn from Chung’s childhood, a few of the film’s most quietly memorable moments were contributions from its Korean-born cast.

Youn Yuh-jung as Soonja in ‘Minari’.

Veteran actress Youn Yuh-jung, who’s extraordinary as the visiting, wily grandmother Soonja, traces the origins of the scene where she cracks open a chestnut in her mouth and hands it to seven-year-old grandson David (Alan Kim), to her time living in America. “I’ve seen one grandmother visiting at the time—we don’t have chestnuts in Florida—she brought them all the way from Korea. Actually it was worse than the scene. My friend’s mother brought [the] chestnut. She chewed it and spit it out into a spoon and shared it with her grandson. Her husband was an Irishman. He was almost shocked. We didn’t do that, but I shared that kind of thing with Isaac.”

Most viewers watching this scene will likely recoil in horror, as David does, but co-star Han Ye-ri, playing Soonja’s daughter Monica, notes the practicality of the gesture: “If you give a big chunk to children they could choke on that, so it’s natural for them to do that for their children.”

In another brief, beautifully serene scene—one that is so rarely depicted in American cinema that it’s almost stunning—Monica is seen gently cleaning David’s ears. Han came up with the idea. “Originally it was cutting the nails for David,” she says. “Cleaning your wife and husband’s ears is such a common thing in Korea. Initially the producer or somebody from the production opposed the idea because they regarded it as dangerous, but because it is something that is so common in our daily lives I thought we should go with the idea.”

Neither actress comes from a traditional movie-oriented background. With no acting ambitions, Youn began her fifty-year career with a part-time job hunt that led her to distributing gifts to an audience at a TV station. “It was freshman year from college and they gave me pretty good money. So I thought, ‘Wow, that’s good!’.”

“I’m kind of ashamed about that, as nowadays all the kids plan their future,” she says. “When I talk to the younger generation, they start having dreams about being an actor in the sixth grade. In the sixth grade, I was just playing—nothing. I didn’t plan anything. [Laughs.]”

Han Ye-ri and Noel Kate Cho in ‘Minari’.

Before acting, Ye-ri trained as a professional dancer, and while she wasn’t specifically inspired by movies to cross over into acting, she was an avid film watcher in her formative years. “Working as an actress made me realize how many films I’ve seen growing up.”

“My first memory of a non-Korean-language film left such a strong impression on me, especially the ending,” she says. “The film is called Doctor Zhivago. I saw it on TV and not in theaters. The first film I saw in theaters was Beauty and the Beast. But even growing up I remember because Koreans love films so much they would have films on TV all the time. I watched a lot of TV growing up because both my parents were busy, and in retrospect that really helped become the basis of my career. [Laughs.]”

She also grew up “taking reference from Miss Youn’s body of work to study from, as did many other actresses”. Grateful for the opportunity to work with her on Minari, Ye-ri says, “On set working with her, it made me realize how wonderful it is that this person still carries her own distinct color and scent. And seeing her taking part in this production in a foreign country—she’s over 70—it just really encouraged me that I should be more fearless like her.” She adds: “One of the things that I really want to learn from her is her sense of humor but I think I’m going to have that for my next life. [Laughs.]”

As for Youn’s adventures in early movie-going, she recalls the first Korean film she saw with her father was the 1956 historical drama Ma-ui taeja, based on a popular Korean fairy tale. “I was so scared. I cried so my father had to take me out of the theater.”

“At [the] time, we always had to watch the news on the screen before the movie. It started with a national anthem and every audience from the theater would need to stand up and pledge to the Korean flag. It’s a very stupid thing for you guys but it was like that 60 years ago.”

Han Ye-ri as Monica in ‘Minari’.

For Minari fans who want to discover more of Youn’s work, she recommends starting with the first movie she made with the late, great director Kim Ki-young, Woman of Fire—a remake of his own 1962 Korean classic The Housemaid. “A long time ago I couldn’t see it. Of course I first saw it when it was shown at the theater back when I was twenty. But later on we had a retrospective, so I saw that movie 50 years later. Wow, he was very genius. I was very impressed. That time we had censorship and everything but with that crisis he made that film. That was a memorable movie to [me].”

Youn admits finding it difficult to be emotionally invested watching a film starring herself, including Minari. “It’s terrible, it’s killing me,” she says. “I always think about why I did this and that scene like that. I’m just criticizing every scene so I’m not enjoying it at all.”

Asked which films she enjoys, she offers: “Some other people’s movies like Mike Leigh and Kore-eda Hirokazu. Your Chinese movies I fell in love with. Zhang Yimou when he started. Then later on when he became a big shot, I don’t enjoy [them]. [Laughs.]”

During the shoot, members of the cast and crew caught Lulu Wang’s The Farewell, 2019’s powerful, heartfelt Chinese-American immigrant story. While Youn missed it (“I was just staying home trying to memorize the lines and resting”), Ye-ri watched with interest: “That film also had a grandmother character, so did ours, and these two are completely different. But at the same time from both films you can feel the warmth and thoughtfulness of grandmothers in different ways. To me they are both very lovely films.”

Of her recent viewings, Ye-ri reveals she found Soul made her as emotional as Minari did. “It made me look back at how I live and my day. It’s not necessarily for children but I think it’s a film for adults. [Pauses.] I’m Thinking of Ending Things. I love that film also.”

‘Minari’ is out now in select theaters across the US and other territories, with virtual screenings available to US audiences in the A24 screening room.

Siege-o-ween Day 6!

‘She’s an angel’,Yumiko thought the first time she laid eyes on her. Her. Nienke Meijer, the newest engineer that arrived at Rainbow.

Looking back, she should have noticed it a lot sooner. The way Nienke had talked about the existence of God, the likeness of her and Mark when it came to the doings of Him, the arguments she had with the devout Olivier. She talked about it as if she had been there, seen the actions He had taken, the curses and blessings He had thrown upon humanity.

The way she got along with the explorer, Sanaa, explaining the histories and cultures of far off lands despite, on her travel records, never travelling there in the first place. The ways she had looked at the sky in distaste and longing when she first asked Yumiko to join her on the rooftop.

With a tempting smile on her lips as she chose to explain the constellations instead of whatever had haunted her living among them.

The mission that she barely survived and yet, Nienke came out of it injured yet recovered nonetheless. A horrible mission that no human would have survived, discounting Zofia of course, even then one would not have come out of it without career ending injuries.

_________________________________________________________________

The cool suburban winds made Yumiko shiver even in her jacket, as she made her way to the back trench of the building. The sleek building towering over her was darkened, blending in with its surrounding of dim lights and various abandoned family owned businesses. If it weren’t for the intel provided by the one and only Aria de Luca, ‘infiltrator extraordinaire” according to Nienke.

The admiration and relationship between Aria and Nienke made her jealous sometimes, the easygoing way they talked to each other and their ‘secret’ language that Yumiko didn’t understand. It was Latin, as she later heard from Adriano.

Shaking the personal emotions away, Hibana put her gun on low alert and checked the window, jumping in when her partner gave her the all clear to jump in. Her partner, Maxim “Kapkan” Basuda had been holding the small site with his Entry Denial Devices and gave her a gruff, “About time you got here.” as she vaulted in.

No more time for quips however, she had to hot drop to the basement, clear it, and disable the security cameras for the other attacker who would infiltrate the top floor on the north side.

“Dropping in!”

She landed on the cold white tiles, or, at least that was what she expected.

She landed on a pile of skeletons, time to panic as she realised quickly that they were made of plastic. She could tell from the clacking sound of the bones, hollow and not only that, smooth to the touch.

The sound made from her abrupt fall as well as the hissing of the X-kairos quickly bought the attention of the festive terrorists. Dressed as frankenstein (the doctor) was one wearing a gas mask, who seemed to have the highest ranking. With one fell swoop of his hand and a shout of

“Surround her!”

The terrorists, each wearing what seemed to be the reverse bear traps from SAW, sprinted around the SAT operative. All seemed to be in the opposition’s favour, until an impact round was heard from above and they all looked up. Taking this chance, Hibana shot at the doctor, downing him and proceeding to lob a bullet in the others head. Her Type-89 quickly ran out of shots with its measly 21 bullet magazine. As she quick swapped to her Bearing-9, she turned the her final enemy behind, whipping it out and aiming for their chest-

Click

“...kuso”

The moment of painful regret of forgetting to reload her machine pistol was quickly forgotten, as Maxim jumped down and landed a knife on the target’s head. The terrorist stared with rage, but quickly started to panic, his screams were muffled as he pulled out the knife from his, now-missing, eye.

“No, no, nonononono-”

The whirring of a loaded spring was made more evident with each pull, the tick tock sound emanating from the hoodie wearing being getting louder, and like a jack in the box.

The skin on his face opened up, jaw slamming up and snapping grotesquely. The body fell to the floor and the shaking of the body had Maxim shooting it with the SASG-12 to put the poor boy out of his misery.

“What a cruel way to go. Is it not?”

The Doctor rose up behind them, despite wearing a blood soaked shirt and Hibana being very certain that she had hit them on the side of the neck, they seemed perfectly fine.

“That one was a failed experiment if a Russian got to him”

The intonation made Kapkan seeth,

“Do not insult us.”

The bullet from his PMM sidearm barely pierced the skin of the Doctor’s trachea, as they pulled it out of their skin. Their eyes contained mirth and a sense of wonderful curiosity when they turned and raised both their arms in the air,

“If you two are here, that must mean that the third party is upstairs yes? Oh I certainly hope it's Iana, I haven’t seen her in centuries!”

That struck a chord within Yumiko’s heart,

They knew.

“She has escaped from me so many times… the bird should have her wings clipped. No, perhaps I shall remove them entirely, rip them into shreds like I did with her last family. Maybe I’ll go after Iona after. Yes. That is what I shall do.” The Doctor clenched his fists in conviction , turning to look back at them.

“Worry not, my only target is her. Feel free to leave before I clip her wings and we die in a fiery explosion together.”

Maxim was very much done with the Doctor’s talk, but the bullets dealt no damage. Tactical retreat was a term to exist no?

“Hibana, call the operative, we will be leaving”

“But the mission-”

“Live to fight another day, no one lives nearby anyways”

The Doctor laughed.

“Live, live to tell the tale of how you escaped Kaelan. The Hunter of Angels and Doctor of the deranged.”

The duo from the basement left through the tunnel, but when they got out and tried to contact Nienke, the third operative of the mission.

Connection lost.

___________________________________________________________________________

The beeping of the phone was not a good sign, not with Iana still on the top floor of the building with no way to get down. Hibana was worried, Iana was stuck in there, with a psychopathic unkillable creature that was hunting her.

Now that she had time to think to herself, maybe she could sort this out in her head.

‘So, there is a being that is unkillable, hunts angels, puts people in freaking death traps and proclaims themself as a doctor. They’re hunting Iana, or what they know as Iana, as well as an “Iona”. So this means Iana is an angel? In a literal sense? We need to find this “Iona” and put whoever they are in our custody for their protection. What in the world did this turn out to be-”

Before she could complete her train of thought with the profanity, an explosion that sent the smell of smoke through the tunnel into her nostrils knocked her out of it. Kapkan stood beside her, holding up a blue phone that defenders had when detonating C4. The smile under his mask couldn’t be seen, his hands pushing the device back into his coat as he dusted himself off with the other.

The crackling of Hibana’s phone had her pausing in her silent scream at Kapkan, Iana’s slightly panicky voice could be heard through the speakers,

“What was that explosion? Where are you all, I can’t find you on the radar, are you both outside now?”

“Yes, there was someone inside telling us to leave, They’re going after you Iana, get out immediately. There might be explosives planted-”

“This is unfortunate but, I am surrounded with explosives and it appears they have all been armed to detonate in 3 minutes. I suppose this is where we say our goodbyes.”

That was the last thing Yumiko had expected Nienke to say, the word goodbye was not something that she wanted to say, not yet. She had so many questions that were yet to be answered, but only one was truly tickling at the back of her mind.

“Nienke, are you an angel?”

“Because I look like I fell from the heavens? You’ve used that before Yumi, and I don’t think now is the time for pick up lines.”

“I meant, legitimately.”

“I’ve told you yes every time you asked Yumi, you just never took it in a literal sense.”

A blast could be heard from the east wing of the building, the rustling of Iana’s shirt could be heard as she flew up the stairs.

“Sorry Yumi, I’m going to have to cut this one short.”

“Wait-”

The flatline beep of the hung up call sent dread into Yumiko’s heart. Maxim took notice of her heading back down the tunnel and rushed to pull her back.

“Are you crazy? This place is about to explode, calm down. She will hopefully find a way out by herself. You may be shocked but if that clouds your judgement what good are you.”

“Excuse me. I just found out my best friend and love of my life isn’t human and you’re criticizing me for being shocked?!”

“Well yes, I just specified that.”

Kapkan had to carry the thrashing SAT operator over his shoulder as he ran to their emergency transport vehicle, leaving Iana alone on the rooftop to fight.

____________________________________________________________________________

The rooftop was chilly, but Nienke never cared much for temperatures. The Doctor jumped up the hatch she opened for med-vac, a smile plastered in his eyes as he whipped out an engraved knife and pointed it at her.

“Angel Iana, I’m not going to kill you today. I’ll just take what I need and be on my merry way.”

“Oh gee thanks Kaelan, you’re not going to get it that easy.”

“Show me those wings, and I’ll show you my claws. A fair fight is all I ask for.”

Naivety.

A word that could be used to describe Iana at this moment. She kneeled to the ground as her body contorted, bone sprouting from her back as blood pooled around her shoulder blades, the liquid coating her feathers and turning them black.

She was so naive, she had thought she would be given a chance to turn, a chance for fair fight with the hunter.

She was wrong.

____________________________________________________________________________

The knife went in deep, crimson blood spilling over as Nienke fell to the ground, unable to move from the excruciating pain.

“You honestly thought I was going to fight fair. Ha, you never learn.”

The blood they collected with the knife was sucked into a test tube using a mechanism. Kaelan giggled in glee at the sight of it, squealing and jumping around on the roof.

“That was your blood, Angel. I still require your wings for my project.”

The knife shifted as they sliced back down her back, and she fought the pain in a burst of rage. Jumping onto them and ripping the vial out of their hands and kicking them to the side,

“I’ll never allow you to find a way back to heaven, Kaelan.”

The excited giggles from Kaelan ceased, they looked at her with rage and despair.

“I have lost so much because of you. I am stuck here because of YOU.”

Kaelan let out wings of their own, gray and torn apart, yet still able to fly for short distances.

“This is your fault.”

____________________________________________________________________________

The fight was anticlimactic, as there was little to no fight at all. Iana sidestepped when Kaelan threw a punch at her, jumping off the roof and letting her wings spread. She tried maintaining her focus as she aimed for the vehicle, but her eyes and wings were weakened from the bloodloss. Kaelan has chased after her, but as they went to celebrate an early victory, having dug a fire poker into her back, they were struck down with a kick as Iana flew up and dropped down on them.

“Goodbye.”

Nienke could fester no more energy as she glided towards the moving vehicle, barely able to land on top of it as the building exploded in the distance. Hibana and Kapkan had heard the drop, and as Maxim hit the brakes and Yumiko turned around. Nienke pulled out the fire poker through her chest, holding it up in a way one would admire a spear, wings dark yet contrasting the starry night.

“How’s that for a halloween night?”

The smirk fell alongside her body and the jaws of the other two operators as she collapsed onto the back of the truck.

Dziś 01.01, czas więc na whosomowe imieniny! A wspominamy nie byle kogo, bo oryginalnego, pierwszego, a właściwie Pierwszego, Doktora. W tę postać wcielał się przede wszystkim William Hartnell, który grał Doktora od 1963 do 1966 roku, w sumie w 134 odcinkach serialu (warto pamiętać, że wówczas każdy sezon składał się z maksymalnie dziesięciu historii podzielonych na krótsze, dwudziestokilkuminutowe odcinki). Jego ostatnią historią było The Tenth Planet. Odejście aktora z serialu związane było z jego postępującą chorobą - i tak twórcy wpadli na pomysł regeneracji. Hartnell wrócił do Doctor Who tylko raz, w 1973 roku, w nakręconej na dziesięciolecie serialu historii The Three Doctors. Ten występ był zarazem jego ostatnim w karierze. W The Five Doctors w Pierwszego wcielił się Richard Hurndall, a w The Doctor Falls i Twice Upon a Time - David Bradley. Pierwszy, a więc najbardziej oryginalny z Doktorów, początkowo nie przypominał swoich bardziej współczesnych wcieleń. Zdystansowany, nieuprzejmy, niechętny wszystkim, którzy nie pochodzą z Gallifrey, z czasem polubił podróże z towarzyszami, choć pierwszą dwójkę - Iana i Barbarę - dosłownie porwał. Co ciekawe, za czasów Pierwszego nie dowiedzieliśmy się, ani kim jest, ani skąd pochodzi - on sam określał siebie i swoją wnuczkę Susan mianem wygnańców. Pierwszy miał w sumie dziewięcioro towarzyszy, a wśród jego wrogów znaleźli się między innymi doskonale nam znani Dalekowie oraz Cybermeni. Zachęcamy do sięgnięcia do prapoczątków Doctor Who!

Part 18

“Come on!You can do it!” You could hear her sweet, joyful laughter from a mile away, it would echo through the halls and into each and every room in the house, and would cheer everyone up, it was at times like this that everyone just loved the blonde lady even more. “Come on Nathaniel!” Eviana cheered, watched the tiny toddler make his way into her petite arms, cradling him once as the two of them laugh. “You did it baby! Aunt Eve is so proud of you!”

“Hey!I’m getting jealous already.” Natasha exclaimed, carefully grabbing the tot and snuggled him in her arms.

Korvac’s brows furrowed as he watched the Queen took another breath,tossing in their shared bed as sweat trickle on her face- her raven luscious hair sticking onto her face. “What’s happening?” The King asked, fear evident in his voice as he looked at Victor on the side-the two of them watching the Queen sleep.

“She’s remembering them Korvac…. We can’t help it anymore.”   “Hi.I’m Eviana. I’m lost.”

“Hello there.” A tall guy smiled, his golden fine hair glowing in the room where he stood tall in front of the child, hair just like his. “I’m Steven.Call me Steve.”

“But-“ Eve stuttered, stopping as she eyes the Captain’s attire “ You’re Captain America.” 

“Eh. Sometimes”

Eve giggled, smiled as she looked at the Captain- her emerald eyes drilling into his blue ones. Steve couldn’t help but think that he’d never seen such dark eyes with so much light in them. Soft wisps of that pale honey hair swept past her ear and caressed the skin of her neck, jaw, cheeks and around her rather beautiful, jade like eyes. Those eyes rimmed with thick, long, dark lashes that brushed her cheeks every time she closed her eyes, seemed to bore into him every time he looked into them and nearly lost himself, even though they just formally met a minute ago.

                “What are you doing now?” Korvac asked, eagerness evident in his voice- worry plastered on his face. But the doctor didn’t answer, he took the stirring rod and mixed the eight potion that he was making for the Queen. “Will that work now?” Victor gave Korvac a look, glared at him and told him to shush and let him do his job. He was tired and weary, and yet he was working up until dawn- he understood Korvac though- he knew that the guy only loved the young lady so much for him to do such evil things. For them it wasn’t evil, it might not be just but Korvac was just doing what he wanted to do. He wanted Eviana, and he acted on it. Dr. Victor Von Doom, he was a great scientist, chemist and a renowned doctor. Some people would say that ever since he was a child-he was evil, but he would always say that he’s just wired differently. Others look at a squirrel and see something cute, but Victor would see something he can murder. But he doesn’t want to just shoot it though, he wants to see how long it can last while he disembowels it nice and slow. He wants to see the light go out in its rodent eyes while he examines its innards. It was not only for science nor his experiments. The truth is that, he enjoys it. He gets a kick out of it. And then he’ll record it on his phone, so he can play it over and over to relive the moment. When he grew up and started working abroad when his parents died- Victor met Michael. The two of them soon started a company with them being the founder and head chemists, they became rich as their company got recognized by different corporations, becoming two scientist who was the first to find the cure for cancer. Victor became happier when his childhood best friend followed him and worked for him as his assistant- She also left their tribe-The Gypsy; and stayed with Victor. As Valeria became one of the board members of their company, the two started spending much more intimate time together, Valeria always liked Victor- it was the doctor that hardly notice the lady, but as he spent time with her, Victor knew that he was falling for her already.  After some time, the two of them started dating- leaving Michael all alone. The latter became a left out, a loner, it was as if he was back to being his ‘pathetic’ younger self- a weirdo. He was becoming jealous of Valeria, she took his lab partner, his partner in crime and his buddy- but what Korvac didn’t realize was that he was jealous not of Valeria, but of his own buddy- Victor; who had a lover, a romantic partner- who had a girlfriend,someone who chooses him because of this thing called ‘love’; not because of the money he can offer,nor the fame he can give.

“Michael, Look.” Korvac’s train of thought was interrupted, the divinity quickly looking at the doctor-following his gaze towards the lady in front of them. The love of his life; His Queen, Eviana. “She’s getting stronger Korvac.I don’t- I don’t know if we can keep her away any longer.”

  “Tony.Tony.Tony, look at me.” Eviana whispered, voice lingering with care,love and a sprinkle of worry. “Anthony, don’t.Don’t go there.” The tiredness that begun a while ago remains like a veil over Tony’s skin, grey and cold. And as Eve caress his cold arms, Tony could only watch the creeping sorrow where there should be joy; over him. It sits like November rain on his skin, enough to chill what was once warm inside. Enough to cover the warmth and happiness that he somehow felt, after years of being in the pain and agony he’s currently feeling-Tony was back at it again, and Pepper wasn’t there to try and soothe his pain away. He planned to just stay there in the cold, comfortably numb and hurting.But Eve knew better. “I understand it hurts Tony, I do. But please remember this Anthony, I love you.More than my life.”

  Tony quickly woke up, his eyes shot wide open,his breathing was rapid and shallow as his heart beat raced each other, trying to keep up with his running mind -as if he was just chased by dozens of hound dogs; ready to eat him alive. He tossed around just to see his king size bed cold and empty, making him shiver as he clenched his mouth again; trying to stop his teeth from chattering each other. Everything then became a blur, his vision was getting darker and his head felt so light yet numb; yet it ached with so much longing.

“Eve!” Tony called, Fighting his way out of the tangled mess of his thick blankets. He continued chanting out her name, the name that his heart, mind and soul craved. The name that he wanted to stay forever, but was instantly gone in an instant; just before his heart was getting better and healed. Tony whimpered, he felt cold and alone. Brows furrowing, Tony’s hands quickly got a hold of his aching chest. He groaned, breathing heavily as his pupils dilated.Your lifeless body was the last image that flashed in his eyes.

“F-Frida….”

    “You passed out again Tony.” Dr. Cho sighed, a sympathetic smile plastered on her face as she looked up; adjusting the guy’s IV drip. “When was the last time you slept?” But before Tony can answer jokingly, she interrupted him. “Proper rest. At least eight hours Tony.”

The genius philanthropist heaved a sigh, raising his hands in defeat as he sat down on the edge of the bed. The light in the infirmary was bright enough to wake him up, abundant to make his brain cells work again as his mind think of anything to work on his suit. Even though he didn’t use them anymore, there were no aliens nor terrorists, nor random bad guys who wanted the Avenger’s attention. There were no one invading their world and he was getting impatient, He badly wanted you back. Even though he knew, that you’re now-dead. Something inside him didn’t believe it, And Tony badly wanted to agree.

  “Peter.” A loud bang echoed through the halls of the Avenger’s facility. A broken light bulb, now rolling onto the dusty floors. Sticky webs evident on it. “What are you doing?”

“N-Nothing.”

“I need to talk to you, Remember?”

“Yeah. That’s why I’m here Dr.Cho~”

“Okay Spidey, but before we go to my office. Promise me that you won’t touch any of my stuff.”

“There’s nothing to touch here Doc,Everything’s old,broken or useless. Just like the Avengers.”

Helen frowned. She never liked anyone touching her stuff, they were hers and they had their own proper places.Just like her perspective with the team, though they weren’t hers; Yes. But they were her only family, and she never tells them this but she’s always proud that she’s their doctor. That every after mission, how small or big their scars or wounds are- All of them go to her.  To see if their okay and well. Then they let her be; But she’s always there for them as they are for her, Just like her belongings. But now,there weren’t anything  nor anyone to even take care of.

“Tony needs your help.” And with that, Peter quickly stood,and in a blink of an eye he was already at the door. “Peter, No.” But the teenager didn’t budge.He stood still, his back facing her as his grasp tightened around the door knob. Peter stood there as the memories flash in his mind, the memories he had with Bucky, Clint, Steve, Wanda, Pietro, Sam, M’mbaku and there’s Tony. Peter shook his head, afraid that if he let himself think of him, He’ll just break down. Enough for him to go back to the arms of the old guy that he treated as his dad.The old guy that continues to deny the truth.

“What do you want Dr.Cho? I told you already, I have nothing to do with him.” Peter whispered, trying to portray anger yet fails;sadness evident in his eyes.

“He’s alone Peter.”

“He pushed us away!” Peter screamed, instantly; his eyes was filled with tears and sorrow. “How can we help him when he doesn’t even help himself?! How can he agree so easily?How can he be so fine with ‘Iana’s passing even though we all know that she’s not!That she’s out there.Alive and wanting to be found, wanting to come back.Back home.With us.” Peter finally broke down, his knees failing him as he fell to the ground;crying like a toddler. “She’s not dead Dr.Cho.You know that.We know that.” Peter sat there, dominated by a profound sadness-fatigued engraved on his worn face.

yo folks June’s character concept poll is up on my patreon - link in my description, and I’ll put a link when I reblog to my main, because tumblr likes to hide posts with links in them. Patrons get to vote on which of these three I’ll do a nice polished portrait and microfiction about, so if you’re interested in seeing more of Jenny Leech the goblin doctor, Silas “the Squid” Xanthopolous, or Ianae, who was raised by space wolves, come toss me a few dollars a month to support my art and join the fun!

Also! Thanks in part to my wonderful patrons and in part to the generous people who donated through my ko-fi tip jar, I have replaced my laptop and can get back to doing digital art!

Blake Leibel lived a life of luxury in Los Angeles, California. Leibel - who was the son of Lorne Leibel, a sailor on the country’s 1979 Olympics team - lived off an allowance of $18,000 per month until inheriting most of his mother’s estate. In California, he was arrested under suspicion of sexual assault and was released after posting $100,000 bail. In 2010, Leibel created the graphic novel “Syndrome.” The plot follows a doctor’s quest to isolate the root of evil in the brain and tries his experiment out on a serial killer. In a case of life imitating art, Leibel would later brutally murder his girlfriend, Iana Kasian, in a crime which was said to “follow a script” from the graphic novel.

In March of 2016, Kasian’s mother reported her missing, prompting police to pay a visit to the couple’s home. As they arrived at the scene, Leibel barricaded himself in by placing bedding and furniture at the door. Upon entering, it was clear why Leibel hadn’t wanted them to come in: in a blood-spattered bedroom, police found the body of 30-year-old Kasian who had recently given birth to their first child together; the baby girl lay beside Kasian’s body, uninjured. Kasian had moved from Ukraine to Los Angeles in 2014 where she met and started to date Leibel. Just the week before Kasian’s murder, Leibel had been  charged with felony rape but was out on bail; his victim was not Kasian.

Kasian’s autopsy painted a terrifying picture of the pain and horror she had endured. Her blood had been completely drained, her head was scalped and portions of her face were torn off.  There were several bite marks on her jaw. Ultimately, she died from blunt force trauma to the skull and exsanguination. The pathologist noted that Kasian had survived for at least 8 hours after receiving the scalp injury. “I have never see this before. And I doubt if hardly any forensic pathologists in this county or abroad have even seen this outside of, perhaps, wartime,” he said.

Blake Leibel was found guilty of first-degree murder, torture and aggravated mayhem. He is currently awaiting sentencing.

WBJ Part 9: Religion and Cosmology of Volk

The Iluan Empire prays to a pantheon of gods, said pantheon has never truly answered any prayers. Despite the presence of Flux, all mortal lives upon the world have very little evidence that any of the gods truly exist, or even care.

Many take this as a reason to try and be good to each other.

Iluan Pantheon:

Atar - God Of War, prayed to for success in battle

Nyion - God of wisdom, logic, and time.

Ohra - Goddess of life and medicine, prayers said by doctors in hopes of saving a life

Ytriss - Goddess of Anger and Grievances.

Hedon - God of Law and justice

Veta - Goddess of the Winds and Sail

Iana - Goddess of Metal and Innovation

Isbin - God of Destiny and Fate

Vodin - God of the Dead
