TWO TEAMS ENTER. TUMBLR VOTES. ONE TEAM LEAVES.
TRIAL BY COMBAT. TO THE DEATH.
VICTORY OR SOVNGARDE.
The Rules:
Fights will occur over the course of ONE WEEK, quarter 1 begins JUNE 1ST, 2024 at 12:00 AM MIDNIGHT EDT (UTC-04:00).
Multiple fights happen across one week.
ONLY 3 to 4 team members per team. 2 is too few, 5 is almost cheating. If a team has more than 4 members, some will have to wait in the stands (looking at you, Scooby-Doo and Tally Hall).
Tumblr poll will determine the winner of an individual fight via emotional support and gracious cookie donations.
Majority Wins. Whether or not a team would canonically win or lose the fight does not matter, only the number of votes.
Single Elimination.
Outside of the rules listed above, anything goes. Reblog a fight to get your friends on your side.
Propaganda is fair game. If you know perhaps a little too much about one of the teams and want to explain why your team should win, please submit an in-depth propaganda post to the blog homepage.
Spread the word! Your favorite might win! (Or not! I just run this thing!)

No muchas películas pueden decir que han tenido el honor de contar con un campeón olímpico entre su elenco: Greg Louganis, cuya vida ha sido retratada en el telefilme "Breaking the Surface: The Greg Louganis Story" (1997), que ya ha sido reseñado en este blog. En una historia que se desdobla entre el pasado y el presente, su rol es el del entrenador de un equipo local de natación en el que participa uno de los protagonistas.
Una exposición de arte es el marco que nos presenta a Daniel Wheeler (Ian Rhodes) en conflicto con su novio, Allan (Edward Finlay), porque no ha podido olvidar al chico que le ofreció la primera bocanada de pasión juvenil.
Durante la adolescencia que compartieron, ambos vivieron un tiempo en la misma casa (la de Danny) debido a que Stephen (Jeffrey Lee Woods), el padre de Carter (Kyle Clare), debe enfrentar un tratamiento para su alcoholismo. Son días ajetreados para el prometedor muchacho, pues está en preparación de una carrera que le puede ayudar en su futuro profesional, pero los problemas familiares y de salud lo llevan a recurrir a drogas.
Danny también tiene sus conflictos, aunque proviene de una familia más amorosa. Vive con su madre viuda, Miriam (Casey Kramer), y es un prodigio de la pintura, en la cual recibe la valoración de su educadora, Madame Martin (Karen Black). Vale añadir que, justamente, el título original de la película ("Acuarelas") juega con ambas pasiones. Gay de clóset, aunque su homosexualidad es un secreto a voces, su relación amorosa con Carter es consentida, pero, por pedido expreso de éste, debe permanecer oculta en el colegio para no recibir los ataques de Henry (Brandon Lybrand), amigo y compañero de prácticas.
David Oliveras es el autor de un proyecto modesto, pero de gran poder emocional. Es cierto que parece una historia contada una y mil veces: la de dos seres contrapuestos que acaban conformándose en una pareja tan improbable como tenaz. Sin embargo, estamos ante un proyecto interesante en el que imperan la ternura y el dramatismo.
Por cierto..El último cd de Burning WITCHES con Seraina de cantante fue EL MARTILLO DE LAS BRUJAS o HEXENMAMMER [le siguió con LAURA GUL_DEMOND el cd DANCE WITH THE DEVIL , cd WITCH OF THE NORTH y cd DARK TOWER para mi es la TORRE KALEIDO=cara B del Single POLICY OF TRUTH del cd VIOLATOR de Depeche MODE que sustituyo al CENTRO INTERNACIONAL DE CONVENCIONES EN FORMA DE GRAN SOL que abortaron tras hacer un AGUJERO DE 100 MILLONES €]..por cierto..la EMBAJADA de HOLANDA está en Torre EMPERADOR [antes ESPACIO] que tiene una capilla en planta 33 desde cuyo CRISTO se ve la CURVA donde casi me tira de la HARLEY una TIPA por no mirar por el RETROVISOR o por el ANGULO MUERTO y querer tomar la curva cerrada cuando fui a ver a Sofía COMAS a sala BERLANGA cuyo MALOGRADO hijo es autor de CD EL ANGEL EXTERMINADOR
El Malleus Maleficarum (del latín: Martillo de las Brujas; en alemán: Der Hexenhammer) es un tratado sobre la brujería escrito por los monjes dominicos Heinrich Kramer y Jacob Sprenger y publicado en Estrasburgo en 1487. Tras su primera publicación, fue reeditado docenas de veces, se difundió por Europa y tuvo un profundo impacto en los juicios contra las brujas en el continente durante 200 años aproximadamente. Esta obra es notoria por su uso en el período de la histeria por la caza de brujas, que alcanzó su máxima expresión desde mediados del siglo xvi hasta mediados del XVII.
Según el Malleus Maleficarum toda la brujería proviene del apetito carnal que en las mujeres es insaciable. La superstición se encuentra ante todo en las mujeres, y la mayor cantidad de los brujos son del entonces entendido como "sexo frágil" porque las mujeres son "más crédulas, más propensas a la maliginidad y embusteras por naturaleza". El pecado que nació de la mujer destruye el alma al despojarla de la gracia, y todos los reinos del mundo han sido derribados por mujeres. Existen tres vicios generales que tienen un especial dominio entre las mujeres malvadas: la infidelidad, la ambición y la lujuria.

For his part in a 2007 murder that left 20-year-old Alberto Samilpa Jr. stabbed, shot and
burned on a roadside north of Windom, Hans Paul Hottel will pay a fine of $3,000.
In exchange, Hottel, 21, has agreed to become a key witness against three other Mankato
men who are now facing first-degree murder charges for the Cottonwood County killing.
The men were scheduled to go to trial early this year for the murder, which is directly
connected to a burglary near Mankato.
The trials were postponed after a grand jury handed down first-degree murder
indictments. Those indictments wouldn’t have happened without Hottel’s cooperation,
so it was in the county’s best interest to reach a plea agreement, said Douglas Storey,
Cottonwood County attorney.
The agreement was worked out between Hottel’s attorney, Michael Kircher of St. James,
and Assistant Minnesota Attorney General Alfred Zdrazil, who is assisting with the
prosecution, Storey said.
“It was what the attorney general’s office felt they had to do,” Storey said. “Without
someone at the scene who was involved, it was difficult to prove premeditation. We did
what we felt we had to do to strengthen our case.”
Hottel was the first suspect arrested and charged after the Nov. 19, 2007, murder. Gerard
Irving Holt, 23, Lionel Benavidez, 22, and Axel Rene Kramer, 21, all of Mankato, were
arrested and charged later. Holt and Kramer were arrested after being spotted in a car
parked at a hotel in Albert Lea. Benavidez was arrested in Texas.
Hottel was arrested in Mankato the same day as investigators found Samilpa’s body next
to a burning Porsche 911 car off Highway 71 near Delft, a small community north of
Windom. The 1999 sports car and a 2000 Lincoln Navigator, which was found burning in
nearby Watonwan County, had both been stolen during the burglary of a Lime Valley
Road residence north of Mankato two days earlier.
Hottel became a suspect after investigators learned he had used his credit card at a
convenience store in St. James. A surveillance camera showed he used the card to pay for
fuel pumped into the Porsche, Navigator and a car Hottel owned. When Hottel’s car was
found in Mankato and searched, Samilpa’s wallet was found inside, court records said.
Interviews with Hottel’s roommates in Mankato eventually led to the arrests of the four suspects.
Hottel pleaded guilty to a gross misdemeanor charge of aiding an offender on Dec. 22.
Prosecutors agreed to not request jail or prison time and have charges related to the Blue
Earth County burglary dismissed, Storey said.
On Jan. 7, a grand jury was called in Windom to examine the remaining second-degree
murder charges against Holt, Benavidez and Kramer. On Jan. 16, four days before Holt
was scheduled to go to trial, all three men were indicted for first-degree premeditated
murder. The second-degree murder charges, which allege there was intent to kill without
premeditation, also remain for the three suspects.
New trial dates have not been set, but Hottel will likely be called as a witness when they
do take place, Storey said.
“He is going to be testifying at the trial,” Storey said. “He will be an important witness.”
Both Storey and Kircher said they couldn’t comment on whether Hottel was called to
testify before the grand jury. A grand jury indictment is required to file first-degree
murder charges in Minnesota.
During the plea hearing, Hottel admitted to driving the three other men back to Mankato
after Samilpa’s murder, Kircher said. Hottel also admitted to stopping with the others to
burn the Navigator.
A second-degree murder charge that had been filed against Hottel was dismissed in May
after Cottonwood County District Court Judge Bruce Gross ruled there wasn’t enough
probable cause to justify the charge.
Hottel witnessed the murder, then went along with the others because he was concerned
about his own safety, Kircher said.
Hottel also was charged with aiding and abetting the Blue Earth County burglary.
Benavidez and Hottel’s 24-year-old brother, Lars, are also facing felony charges for the
burglary, which also involved Samilpa, according to court records.
In addition to the two vehicles, a total of 21 handguns, rifles and shotguns; a diamond bracelet and other jewelry; electronics including televisions, DVD players and
computers; ammunition; $150 in cash; and passports were allegedly stolen from the
house.
