Izo talks about stabbing a british guy who had a blue policebox with him and being scared off when he started shooting fire out of his arms and head as everyone listens on in horror as they realize that not only did he nearly permanently kill The Doctor from Doctor Who, but also that apparently The Doctor is a real person and was nearly killed by Izo of all people.

Oh ho ho!

I feel like I do this every week, but can we get a sneak peek at some of your wips?

Mostly working at my spoiler fandom exchange project. The WIP (and not fixed) title is Burnout Legends, so take that as you will.

-

Otherwise, I wrote this thing the other day as part of one of my drabble requests. It didn't work even slightly but I kind of had fun with it and am saving it as the potential start of a different story someday:

For the first month of Chase’s fellowship, they don’t have a single case. House is never in before ten, so Chase makes sure to be in by nine-thirty. Spends his days reading journals and daydreaming. Four hours in the clinic a week. Twice, he’s pulled into NICU to cover an absence.

House leaves promptly at five. Chase heads home at ten after.

-

Hernandez is the only other one in Diagnostics. Him and Jacobs, although she’d quit two days after Chase was fired, which at the time almost felt personal. Hernandez is in his late thirties, touchy, and Chase never learns his first name. He rolls his eyes whenever Chase says something, dismisses his every idea. Chase isn’t sure if he’s supposed to argue or just take it. He watches House for clues but House never says anything one way or another.

Six weeks into Chase’s contract they finally get a patient. Woman, forties, and her potassium keeps crashing. Chase spends sixteen hours and two heart attacks at her bedside while House stomps around asking questions and Hernandez fails to answer. “At least Chase is capable of doing something useful around here!” House snaps around hour twenty eight. By the next day, they have a diagnosis of Bartter Syndrome, and Chase is down a coworker.

-

A week later House hires a guy named Munoz. Just out of a cardiology residency, a real hot-shot who tells Chase in their first conversation he finished med school in three years and his under graduate in two. Their first case he completely shuts down, stammering and panicking under pressure, and he quits after three days.

Jacobs is a gastroenterologist. She’s nice enough: married, has two young kids. She and Chase get lunch a couple of times, and when she lasts the first month he starts to think she might last. Then her oldest gets the flu while they’re in the middle of a case. Chase isn’t sure if House fires her for taking time off or if she’d simply seen the writing on the wall and quit.

Gillespi and Okada and Palmer last about a week each, and Chase barely bothers trying to remember their names. Okada an oncologist House takes on to annoy Wilson; Palmer is quiet and smart but bursts into tears the first time House tells her off. It’s embarrassing and uncomfortable, and when she storms out, she gives Chase a look like it’s his fault for not sticking up for her.

Gillespi was the worst: he’s a rheumatologist, and on his first day House pretended to get excited about how much he and Chase had in common. Turned out, Gillespi had gone to several of the same conferences as Chase’s father, and took pains to let Chase know how much he admired the man. Luckily, he’d only lasted a few days before getting fired for screwing up a basic procedure.

Dr. Wise was next: Chase suspects House decides to keep him based entirely on the jokes to be made of his name. He’s forty, spend years working in free clinics and doing good, but at first House seems taken with the guy: Wise, he loves to remind Chase, has street smarts, meaning that last time House tried to scam them both out of money, Chase had given him forty bucks and Wise hadn’t given in.

Wise lasts almost three months and spends most of that time smiling patronizingly at Chase and telling him that, in his experience, everything Chase just said is wrong. But then his habit of second guessing spread to House itself, and he was out the door.

The last one is a Filipino guy named Aquino. House jokes that he and Chase should get along, since they’re both from the same backwards part of the world (Aquino is from Dallas), but he’s okay: if by now Chase didn’t know better he might have actually bothered to get to know him.

-

For a month after Aquino quits, it’s just Chase. He gets House’s morning routine figured out, befriends a couple of the girls in reception. If he starts a pot of coffee at nine thirty and one of them gives him a head’s up, he can have a fresh cup ready for House when he strolls through the door. The first time Chase pulls this off, House gives him a funny look: the third time House laughs aloud. “Cute,” he says, tossing Chase a file. “But you’re not my type. Go keep our new patient alive, Wilson’s interviewing your new baby brother.”

“How long do I keep Ms. Strickland alive?”

“If this new guy isn’t totally useless, I expect you back here at eleven for the DDX.”

Maran doesn’t make it past his first day.

-

House doesn’t hire anyone else for a while. Chase gets him coffee in the mornings, tries his hand at sudoku, and starts to relax. Then one day he comes into the office to find a girl standing there, awkward in the middle of the room and still in her coat. She’s younger than the last few hires — Chase’s age — and pretty, too pretty, enough that by the time Chase closes the door behind him he’s decided she’s a vanity hire, pretty enough House couldn’t resist, vastly under-qualified, and won’t last the week.

“You new here?” he asks kindly, taking off his jacket. If House doesn’t get offended, maybe Chase’ll ask her for drinks once she quits.

“Yes!” She’s nervous. Smiles awkwardly, covers her exclamation. “I was told to be in by nine…”

“House’ll be in in an hour or so. Maybe.” He doesn’t usually bother anymore, but Chase offers his hand, introduces himself: she really is very pretty.

“It’s so nice to meet you,” she says, too perky — he rethinks his drink plans — “I’m Allison Cameron.”

ShuPro Awards 2023!

Normally I would post this on Twitter but I don't use twitter any more so now you guys get to deal with me instead! ShuPro dropped their awards for 2023 today so here they are in english. Right off the top, note that these are fan voted awards, so yes they're absolutely biased towards larger companies & popularity. To be clear I am not publishing this to be an unbiased news source I am posting this to be a bitch and tell you everything they got wrong bc I am right all of the time and have incredible taste. The numbers are how many votes they got. Anyway here we go.

[Three women all being in the top 10 for the overall GP feels really big to me, especially Tam in the top 5. Also Kenoh in 3rd is very cool. I don't remember for sure but I think women have made top 10 before, but I don't think this many. Also all of them being Cosmic Angels? Oh my heart 🥲]

Anyway clearly this is the most important category and god willing one day soon this and the overall category will both be all women.]

Best Unit

Cosmic Angels - 1973 [So true bestie. This is the 3rd year in a row Cosmic Angels have won this award which is insane, especially given the 2023 they actually had. They are fucking unstoppable. Girlfriend power is unbeatable.]

Kazuchika Okada - 533

Starlight Kid - 375 [Wow crazy she got 12th place with how out of shape and lazy she is 🙄 THIS IS SARCASM if you don't know what I'm referring to I envy you. Hope 2024 is the year a certain someone finally gets fired Stardom would be better with no subtitles]

Shinsuke Nakamura - 118

Kaito Kiyomiya - 115

Syuri - 113

Go Shiozaki - 111

Overall these awards are just popularity contests but I still liked a lot of what I saw. The Favourite Wrestler top 50 actually being half women is great and soon enough it'll be all women and we can finally admit we just don't need men's wrestling any more. I can't believe how insanely popular Cosmic Angels are, especially with the let's say rocky 2023 they had, but I guess some things are just so undeniably great people can't miss it.

ohhh I'd love to know about Jay White / Bullet Club character study piece?

Ahhhhh I think you would really enjoy this one though it's very ill-formed right now and is basically why I'm on the Jay White Deep Dive. I am tossing around several things structurally, and mostly trying to figure out how to write it at a length that won't burn me out. But essentially I like the idea of writing a Jay POV story about his time as leader of bullet club and the layers of struggling with hmmm being both a paranoid maniac who WILL backstab but also caring so much? I think a LOT about Phantasmo "we discussed it and we were going to let Jay ride off into the sunset--". There's affection between the shitty losers of bullet club (affectionate) and I want to tease that out and how Jay both trusts it and cannot trust it as a result of his own actions.

Again, not super well defined yet but I think a lot of the story is contained within my initial idea of how Jay approached Kenta to join bullet club. I think there's this sense to which in order to recruit for Bullet club, he looks for people who are fundamentally dissatisfied with their lot on the roster and preys on that to get them to flip.

And Jay is very very good at that, and I've kind of tapped Ishimori as a character who helps him with that structure. But like, it comes with this terrible double edged sword that is both people pleasing and "I need to stab first". The "I need to stab first" paranoia is visible in the character development as I understand it, but at heart I want this fic to be about the ways in which Jay White is always trying to one-up himself by hyper-reading in to how happy his Bullet Club friends are with being in Bullet Club-- because fundamentally, he's afraid of someone like him stealing them away the same way he did.

There's a whole element too with Gedo + Okada that I'm still tossing over how to weave into the story. Gedo's presence as Jay's crutch is unmistakable but I don't see their relationship as fundamentally all that good for Jay (or Okada)-- so like, Gedo as a character really feeding the twin paranoia / product of Jay White The Best Guy Ever, and that eventually eating up Jay inside. It's like, the contrast is that Jay and say, Phantasmo or Kenta or Ishimori, still fundamentally like and care about each other on some level. Gedo cares about Jay White The Product the same way he cared about Okada the Product (before Okada went full mid-life-crisis mode). But I'm still tossing around how to weave this in and/or how much

AND THEN there's also David Finlay who I have the most ill-formed ideas about but want to have a presence in the story too...same with Tama Tonga... we'll see when I get to that in my backwatch....

tl;dr Jay White is a neurotic mess of a guy and I want to write about him fucking himself over in various ways until his untimely (narrative) demise.

El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. (c) vs. Kaito Kiyomiya (NOAH Wrestle Magic 2024)

"Super Kaito!"

Hace mucho tiempo que queria reseñar este combate, porque me llamaba la atencion la idea de que el Campeonato GHC Peso Pesado se sienta importante despues de una sequia de 2 años y medio con campeones para el olvido y un manejo pauperrimo del titulo. En si, Kaito Kiyomiya siempre me hizo ruido como Ace de NOAH porque la misma NOAH parecia reacia a empujarlo en multiples ocasiones en pos de otros luchadores que no se ponian la camiseta de la misma manera que Kiyomiya. En estos ultimos años los unicos campeones GHC que realmente me importaron y mas por su valor como luchadores individuales que lo que hicieron por NOAH fueron Kiyomiya y Kenoh, de hecho esta nueva era de NOAH esta protagonizada por ambos. Kenoh tiene un papel mas de veterano a este punto, pero con Kiyomiya comparten el hecho de que aman a NOAH mas de lo que aman respirar. Este combate pone al Campeonato GHC en un nivel mas alto que el que tenia antes, y en frente de una situacion donde multiples campeonatos en el wrestling estan subiendo su precio y otros lo bajan (sea el Campeonato IWGP Peso Pesado u otros) es la oportunidad perfecta para que NOAH se ponga las pilas y le de a Kaito un reinado digno del hype que tiene detras.

Este combate sube la calidad cuando se presenta a Wagner como una amenaza real a Kiyomiya, porque tenemos el condimento de que los ultimos años de Kaito han sido relativamente para el olvido, con performances que dejan mucho que desear y una especie de pseudo-camino de redencion desde el show de retiro de Muto, donde tuvo su combate con Okada y donde paso todo lo que ya sabemos. Me gusta el hecho de que Kaito a este combate viene de una manera diferente a los otros, preocupandose por diferenciar su presentacion de la de Misawa o Muto (incluso si su estilo de lucha no se preocupa por esto). Wagner es increible en este combate y ambos luchadores se destacan por hacer todo, y porque todo lo que hacen tiene consecuencias que forman parte de la estructura de tal lucha, como el hecho de que Wagner haga bombazos o movimientos mas especificos usando el peso de su rodilla que Kiyomiya ataco durante todo el combate. Tambien esta el hecho de que la idea de que los movimientos tengan un esfuerzo extra suma mucho a los momentos de comeback que tenga Kiyomiya o que tenga Wagner.

El problema que tengo con esta lucha igualmente es que presenta una contradiccion en como se presenta a Kiyomiya. Porque entra con su bata plateada con lineas rojas, diferenciandose de sus dos inspiraciones, pero en la lucha todavia sufre de esa enfermedad llamada ser "un clon de". Mientras Wagner abraza el estilo mas recio que aprendio y desarrollo en NOAH, Kiyomiya parece ser una mezcla entre Muto y Misawa que lastimosamente no se siente unica en frente de un rival tan marcado. Hay momentos de la lucha donde esta idea alrededor de Kiyomiya cobra sentido porque los movimientos que hace son versiones evolucionadas de aquellos a los que hace tributo, como una Shining Wizard subiendose en el esquinero que no termina la lucha pero que tranquilamente podria ser ese movimiento o ese detalle que diferencia a Kaito de otros luchadores.

Me gusta la agresividad de Kiyomiya en esta lucha, y me parece interesante el hecho de que adapta un estilo mas Junior que en luchas pasadas sin olvidar el hecho de que esta luchando contra un Peso Pesado y como Peso Pesado. El tope que hace afuera del ring, por ejemplo, es un momento que destaco por la inmediatez del movimiento y por el hecho de que a diferencia de otros high-flyers Kiyomiya no se queda esperando a que Wagner se posicione si no que el directamente va. Kiyomiya no es un high-flyer, pero el hecho de que haga estos movimientos en este combate suma a la urgencia y la necesidad que tiene por ganar. Estamos viendo en partes un Kaito diferente que busca otras estrategias para superar a su oponente, pero no logra encontrarse a si mismo al 100%. Otros luchadores han sufrido esta enfermedad de ser "clones de" pero nadie lo ha padecido tanto como Kiyomiya.

Y lo que me parece interesante tambien es que poca gente reclama el hecho de que Kiyomiya sea tan igual a Muto que pierda parte de su identidad unica como Ace. Es como si John Cena fuera a hacer movimientos de The Rock o de Steve Austin para tener un cheap pop y que su victoria tenga mas "merito". Con esto no comparo a Kiyomiya con Cena ni mucho menos, pero si pongo sobre la mesa la incomodidad que tengo con el hecho de que Kaito sea un luchador que dependa mucho del pop barato para que sus momentos sean mas grandiosos de lo que podrian ser si el fuese a abrazar un poco mas su identidad como luchador unico. Mas alla de eso, el combate cumple, y se siente como una lucha digna del legado del Campeonato GHC. No se si esto implica que a partir de ahora NOAH tendra un subidon de nivel y de calidad, pero si se mantienen con esta consistencia podemos estar viendo el comienzo de una nueva era para el Campeonato GHC y para sus campeones.
