“In a city built on chances, we just took the biggest one of all.”

“In a city built on chances, we just took the biggest one of all.”Joseph K las-vegas-half Title: “Desert Skies Heist” INT. A HIGH-STAKES CASINO – DAY The casino floor buzzes with gamblers and the soft jingle of slot machines. A sleek, neon-lit environment drenched in luxury and anticipation. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoes. CUT TO: EXT. ROOFTOP OF THE CASINO – DAY A hot air balloon…

[bluesidebun]

Every time I think about Shinichi's and Kaito's parents doing the bare minimum effort to protect their kids I get mad. Like they're both like "u should stop", their kids say "no", and they're like "okay, bye✈️✈️".

Like tf is this????? They kidnap him to make understand how dangerous his situation is but then they do nothing? And they just go away???

They leave their kid behind who is currently in the body of a 6-7 year old alone to deal with a criminal organization? They say they're going to step in if it gets too dangerous but he has almost died many times after that and they weren't there...

Toichi challenges him pretending to be someone else to get Kaito to quit but then just leaves him alone and goes back to Las Vegas with Chikage?

Chikage doesn't sit to talk to him seriously about quitting just suggests him to quit and prepare for his career as a magician in Las Vegas, but that's it.

Your kid that it's being shot at at some of his heists? Who's putting his life at risk and is only 17 years old?

Like I know for the plot is made like this but it doesn't make it any less infuriating 🫠🫠

Spoilers if you haven't seen the episode

After what happened in episode 5, Amanda Waller puts Metropolis in martial law and has sent out the HDC, the Human Defense Corps. her military personnel roaming around and harassing innocent civilians.

The HDC makes its first appearance in Human Defense Corps, in its own limited series back in 2003 where they were a military unit that fights back against extraterrestrial forces [Cover art by Clement Sauve, Juan Viasco, Guy Major]. They have been folded into the US military to help fight back against New Krypton in Superman: War of the Supermen #3 (2010).

Also if you want to see what crazy shit Amanda Waller is doing in the comic book universe give Absolute Power #1 (2024) a read and you will see how ruthless she can get. Out on July 3rd. And just look at that amazing cover art by Dan Mora too and he'll be doing the interior art too with the fantastic Mark Waid as the writer! Also give their World's Finest series a shot too!

The episode's title is a reference to Ocean's Eleven. Ocean's Eleven is a 1960s heist movie about Danny Ocean, who he and 10 other associates of his team up together to rob several Las Vegas casinos. I first watched this movie when it was remade in 2001 starring former Batman, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon and have watched the later 2 sequels and the Oceans 8 spinoff starring Sandra Bullock as Debbie Ocean, Danny's sister. Fun movies if you haven't seen them.

Later in the episode, Lois plans on stealing the Jump Drive Ship from S.T.A.R. Labs and the design of it kinda reminds me of...

the space ship that brought Superman to Earth from Superman the Animated series. Also a good Superman cartoon if you need your Superman fix when waiting for new MAwS episodes!

Lois and Jimmy head to Leslie and Rory's place to hire them to break into S.T.A.R. Labs to steal the ship. I talked more about them in here and here respectively. Nice to see the both of them as a couple during the final day of Pride Month! #LoveIsNotForCowards

And speaking of queer couples, when later in the scene Rory decided to "leave the mission" Jimmy brings along Mallah and the Brain to help steal the ship as well! I talked a bit about them here and here.

Mallah and the Brain recount to everyone their multiversal hopping and I talked about the DC multiverse here and Mallah finally gets his beret to match his comic counterpart and the Brain looks just like a Dalek from Doctor Who.

Not surprised that the MAwS crew are Doctor Who fans.

As Leslie details out a plan for them to steal the ship, we see that one of her sources has told her that the guard has a family member at Silver Age Nursing Home.

So for those not in the know, comic book history is divided up into eras. From 1938 (Superman's first appearance in Action Comics #1) to 1956 is considered the Golden Age, the Silver Age was from 1956 to 1970, the Bronze Age was from 1970 to 1985, and the Modern Age was from 1985 to now.

Specifically, Silver Age of Comics was from 1956 to 1970. It began thanks to the success of the reintroduction of the then newest Flash, Barry Allen who debuted in Showcase #4 (1956). This era of comics is much more focused on science fiction and thanks to that a lot of powers and origins of superheroes now have a science/science fiction element to it for example the then new Green Lantern, Hal Jordan received his Green Lantern ring from a dying extraterrestrial, Abin Sir and Ray Palmer a.k.a the second Atom gains his powers from a white dwarf star matter. This was also the era where the Justice Society of America from the Golden Age was reimagined to the Justice League of America.

When Lex gets a surprise visit from Waller and Slade, he decides to show them Project M and explains what it is and shows off its capabilities when they go hunting Lois, Jimmy, Mallah, and the Brain. and based on what Lex says and the subtle design of the Project M robots, we can assume M is for Metallo like what AmerTek and Thomas Weston was developing in episode 3. I talk more about Metallo here.

And with that we finish the Easter Eggs and references of the episode! Come back next time to see how the gang free Clark from Brainiac and see what happens next for Kara after her realization of what happened!

[dropoutconfessions]

I’m an OG Dropout fan (made an account the first day it dropped) and I remain a big fan to this day. But one thing that’s always bothered me is their stark lack of disability representation.

In all of d20 so far I can only think of a few PCs who are (Jan De La Vega from ASO, Zee from TUC2, Lydia Barkrock from FH, and Mira from Neverafter). I think they’ve done a pretty good job of having people at the table who are neurodivergent/have mental health issues (ADHD, Autism, Depression, Anxiety) so the representation comes from an authentic place. But to my knowledge, there has yet to be a single player at any D20 table who has a physical disability.

Dropout seems to pride themselves on being inclusive. They’re a company who hires talent from a diverse array of backgrounds, because they understand why that’s so important. Especially because cishet white folks have been the face of Nerd/Geek/Fandom spaces for much of history, despite often not being the pioneers.

I’m someone with Cerebral Palsy who is desperate for any representation in media, let alone a thoughtful/nuanced portrayal.

Don’t get me wrong, Dropout is leagues ahead of other media companies in how much it uplifts diverse voices. But there is still plenty of room for improvement. It’s disappointing to see how little thought Dropout has put into giving people with disabilities a much-needed platform, when their brand is one of inclusivity.

just to add to the list cause i remembered while tagging, Gunnie from ASO, Rick Diggins from Tiny Heist, and Sylvester Cross from Mice & Murder

Vintage Poster - Ocean's 11 (Door Panels)

Warner Bros. (1960)

From ha.com...

Danny Ocean gathers a group of his World War II compatriots to pull off the ultimate Las Vegas heist. Together, the eleven friends plan to rob five Las Vegas casinos in one night. Proudly presented here are three iconic door panels for the Rat Pack classic.

Trying to follow in the footsteps of Danny Ocean just did not work out....

Caleb Mitchell Rogers, Federal inmate 90235-509, born 1988, incarceration intake October 2023 at age 35, scheduled for release May 2032

Robbery

In October 2023, a Las Vegas police officer was convicted of robbing three casinos has been ordered to serve 12 years behind bars.

Caleb Rogers received his prison term during a sentencing hearing before U.S. District Judge Andrew Gordon in a Las Vegas federal courtroom. He will also have to serve three years of probation once his sentence is over and will have to pay more than $85,000 in restitution.

Prosecutors were seeking about 20 years in prison, while Rogers' attorney asked for leniency, citing his career as a law enforcement officer.

"While many of his peers chose career paths and lifestyles that served only themselves, [Rogers] opted for service in one of the most dangerous professions dedicated to protecting our society," his attorney Richard Pocker wrote in a sentencing memo submitted to the court prior to Tuesday's hearing.

A federal jury convicted Rogers earlier on all counts of stealing nearly $165,000 during a trio of casino heists, including one where he was armed with a department-issued weapon that was loaded.

According to the arrest report, a man ran to the employee side of the sportsbook counter at the Rio last year and pushed one worker to the ground.

He threatened to shoot two employees as he grabbed cash from the drawer and placed it into a bag, the report states. As he was doing this, an employee pulled robbery alarms to alert security, causing the man to jump over the counter and run away. Security officers chased after the man as he ran outside the west doors, and one officer managed to tackle him in the driveway near the parking garage.

Investigators checked the serial number on the gun recovered at the scene. They learned it belonged to LVMPD and was checked out to Rogers.

Prosecutors identified Rogers as a suspect in two other robberies reported at Aliante and Red Rock Casino. Rogers' brother, Josiah Rogers, testified at trial saying the two of them rehearsed one of the robberies.

What I'm Looking For

Chapter 1: A Fresh Start

Characters/Pairings: Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Jinbei, ZoSan

Rating/Warnings: T

“I’ve spent two years being good.” He grinned as he pushed up the brim of his hat with his thumb, “It’s about time I wasn’t again.”

When Luffy is released from prison, he reunites his crew for their biggest heist yet: Las Vegas casinos owned by none other than Doflamingo Donquixote. Can Luffy and his friends make it out withe their wealth unscathed, or will the become more victims to the casino owner's greed and vanity?

Happy Wednesday friends and neighbors I am excited to share with you the first part of my New Venture many years in the making: the Ocean's 11 AU!

I will be posting updates for this weekly, so here is the first part for your reading pleasure 💜

[aquavierra]

Hear me out on my list of everything that I want for the upcoming sequel of Ocean's Trilogy that they said in pre-production:

STOP FORCING DANNY AND RUSTY TO BE HET. THERE IS NOTHING STRAIGHT ABOUT THEM! Homies don't stare each other like they wanna eat each other (yk what I mean.)

I hope this one will be set in casino but instead of boring Las Vegas, we are going straight to Monaco. Even better when you think about it; it has Casino and is in Europe. Basically a perfect mix of Ocean's Eleven and Twelve. Also I'm daydreaming to see the casts on yacht again like they did during Cannes film fest 2004 lol.

We need Toulour back, probably this time he is going to be the additional person in the team.

I want the plot to be revolving around Danny faking his death, why? Because well, hehe, might be funny if Danny and Rusty were secretly retiring together and coming back for this last heist to end their criminal activities for good or they might be just bored. But all Ocean's Trilogy heists happened for good reasons so I hope they make it complicated as the predecessors.

I need more intimate conversations between Rusty and Danny. We also need to know their backgrounds and stuffs because although headcanons that writers and fans made are great, I need some closure because they talked like a pair of mind readers and we just like to assumed things (the worse thing is that all of our ideas fit so well with their dynamics.)

Cameo of Debbie and Lou! (SELF EXPLANATORY)

I don't need to put this on the list because we all want this one: bring all the remaining Ocean's Eleven back! AT ALL COSTS! (I don't care if the budget would balloon like crazy, this is probably the last time a franchise movie might be good.)

Don't make Danny and Rusty married to anyone (other than with each other) pls, don't make them have children or any sorta stuff that are so cliché. It's a fact that they won't be conforming to society's heteronormative child-centric ideals. Quoting from Captain Raymond Holt the badass king.

Interesting villain! Gotta be honest Terry is my favourite, both intimidating and as the films progressesed he became more and more chill like rest of the people who robbed him lol.

Tess and Isabel cameo (sorry I want this one to be revolving around the boys not like girls aren't invited tho hehe.) The girls need to meet the rest of Ocean's 8 plsss!

Bring back Toulour too and his absolutely mindboggling capoeira skill.

Dude, I know Brad Pitt's old now and probably needs to check his calorie intakes every now and then but probably a lil bit snacking won't hurt hehe. Basically I need Rusty to munch celery or anything.

[broketraveler87]

Dear Muse,

What the fuck?!?!

You have already have 3 WIP to work on!

We do NOT need to add a heist fanfic called “Maverick’s 13” a play on the George Clooney Ocean’s trilogy.

Where Maverick gets out of jail he plans a heist to win back his ex husband Tom Kazansky from Casino Owner Beau Simpson.

Maverick = Ocean

Jake = Rusty

Bradley = Linus

Coyote = Saul

I SAID NO MUSE…*faintly in the background Viva Las Vegas can be heard*

DCA Fallout AU - Stats and Perks

This is regarding my DCA Fallout AU!! I'm probably gonna call it something like "The Sun, The Moon, and The Mechanic" since it's simple enough!! Here are the Stats and Perks for all 3!!

Sunny's Stats

Strength: 9

Perception: 3

Endurance: 7

Charisma: 8

Intelligence: 6

Agility: 3

Strong Back: +50 carry weight; he regrettably acts as your pack mule companion...

Polar Powered: +2 Strength and +1HP per second outside between 6AM and 6PM; he gets a little sluggish and grumpy as it gets darker...

Moon's Stats

Strength: 5

Perception: 8

Endurance: 6

Charisma: 2

Intelligence: 9

Agility: 5

Luck: 5

Moon's Perks

Friend of the Night: eyes adapt quickly to low light conditions; he keeps a watchful eye on you during your well-needed rest...

Fortune Finder: considerably more bottle caps are found everywhere; he pays for all your meals and supplies...

FOR CONTEXT!!

I specifically used the term "Bisexual Menace" for one of The Mechanic's perks as a reference to Fallout New Vegas!! In that game, you can choose to have both sexuality perks at the same time [Black Widow/Cherchez La Femme for female couriers and Lady Killer/Confirmed Bachelor for male couriers], and because both options have their individual +5% damage to their respective gender, bisexual couriers canonically do +10% to everyone [which has always been hilarious, especially to me as a bisexual]!!

However, all folks can enjoy this!! Not just bisexuals lol the perk was just for the silly reference to Fallout New Vegas!!

he  barks  out  a  laugh  at  the  question,  "well,  shit.  i'd  probably  start  with  not  stealin'  half  the  crew  to  make  one  of  my  own." it's contradictory to the way he languidly sits in nariza auto, lets propped on a tool cart & arms folded across his chest. "people take that shit so seriously. but when it comes down to it, you end up doin' what works for you, right ? i mean, good enough for viper, 's good enough for me."

is street  racing  a  long  term  plan  or  a  short  lived  hobby  for  you?

"ah, long term." their fingers flex at the question. it's absent-minded, like they're working through the motions of tuning an engine. "i mean, I'm in it now. tell me to fix a car & i couldn't leave it at just that, y'know ? not when i know just how far you can push them."

HEADCANONS ꗃ MISCELLANEOUS.

i wanted to have something up to give u baseline vibes however u know i will be Back to add more ...

comes from a family that had his entire life mapped out for him. how he would dress, the way he spoke, the school he would attend, the job he would work. he embraced their expectation for years. his true passions– working with cars, learning any instrument they could get their hands on– took a backseat. things hit a tipping point when his parents introduced him to his own fiance. a complete stranger, but someone whose family would play an important role in business acquisitions. a lump sat in his throat the entire dinner, like he couldn't believe it was real life. and yet— he stayed. they played the role of a perfect child & they did it well. they charmed their soon-to-be in laws, they graduated university, they excelled in their field. until finally—

they left. it's the afternoon over their wedding, they are due at the chapel in less than an hour and— they are on a flight. they have no plan, no backups; but for the first time in years, they can breathe.

flash forward to 1998, las vegas. some may say he lived a double life at one point. working the garage of a repossession-flip yard by day. a getaway driver for hire by night. if you couldn't find him under a car or behind the wheel, you could bet he was raking in winnings at the casino.

flash forward again to 2001, miami. the perfect getaway driver until he wasn't; the casino champion until he couldn't. but he still had one talent up his sleeve: running away. it's this city where he finds the rodani prowlers. he wants a job at the shop & he only grows more persistent as he learns about the world of street racing.

when the #SPLIT happened, he followed the nariza bois. he'd been growing restless with seemingly monotonous repairs at the rodani wheels shop. off the record, he'd been toying with cars, experimenting with imported parts. this seemed like a chance to find something more his speed.

tl;dr ... he's a runner ... one thing about them? they will Leave before they can be left.

[bejeweldskeleton]

WIP Wednesday arbeitest gerade aktiv an einem Oc der an Stories? Teile etwas mit uns darüber? #sharewhatintheqieks #ffmmff #workinprogress #fanfictionde

Sooo, dann komme ich auch zu dieser Frage :D Nur ein paar Mittwoche zu spät, aber naja. Immerhin etwas :D OCs:

(Semi-)aktiv arbeiten tue ich momentan nur an Law für @quinaelfina Good Luck. Da muss auf jeden Fall noch mehr aufs Papier bzw. ins Dokument gebracht werden, auch wenn die Ecken des Konzepts abgesteckt sind. Lustigerweise verarbeite ich bei ihm auch ein bisschen meine immer noch unerfüllte Lust auf Heiligen shizzle, welches ich ja schon bei der Frage nach Wunsch-MMFFs und dem Grishaverse angedeutet habe haha xD Aber Quina hat da einen winzigen passenden Krümel irgendwo om Prolog oder im Word-Dokument fallen lassen und ich habe mich draufgestürzt haha

Stories:

Ich habe so einige Storyideen parat, aber bin mir nicht bei allen sicher, ob das MMFF-Format wirklich die beste Wahl ist lol Allerdings schwanke ich wirklich bei allen zwischen MMFF oder nicht, weshalb ich sie hier einfach aufzählen werde. Es sind alles tatsächlich auch Ideen, die im Prosabereich angesiedelt sind. Idk über die Jahre habe ich mehr und mehr das Gefühl bekommen, dass viele Storyideen, die mir so kommen, gar nicht mehr so stark an ein Fandom gebunden sind oder es sich besser in einer eigenen Welt machen würde, die ich nach meinen eigenen Vorstellungen und narrativen Bedürfnissen gestalten kann. Klar, mehr Arbeit, weil man wirklich alles aus dem Nichts stampfen muss, aber worth it xD

Stage 97:

Los Angeles, 1970er. Eine ehemals legendäre Filmproduktionsgesellschaft, die einst die größten Stars des goldenen Zeitalters Hollywoods hervorgebracht hat, steht seit der Übernahme durch den inkompetenten Socialite-Sohn des alten CEOs kurz vorm Ruin. Abergläubische Leute munkeln, das Studio sei verflucht. Maxine St. John, frisch aus der x-ten Rehab und ehemalige Kinderschauspielerin außer Rand und Band, versucht wieder in Hollywood Fuß zu fassen, diesmal jedoch behind the scenes. Als PA am Ende der Hierarchiekette fängt sie bei [insert name of company] an und entdeckt bald, dass nicht alles mit rechten Dingen zugeht. Spooky stuff passiert. Maxine und eine Handvoll scrappy Filmcrewmitglieder machen sich auf die Suche nach der Wahrheit hinter dem, was das Stage 97 heimsucht :D Macht sich wohl am besten als MMFF und es würde auch mit ein paar vorgegebenen Rollen aufgezogen werden. Aber diese haben eher einen narrativ-funktionalen Hintergrund und werden weniger auf die Persönlichkeit der OCs bezogen sein, also z.B. eher "Hausmeister*in des Filmstudios" statt "Grimdark dude mit dunkler Vergangenheit". Aber ja, historischer Horror mit Hollywood-Glamour. Und gore lol.

Magical Heist (Arbeitstitel)

Las Vegas, irgendwann in der Zukunft. Kennt noch wer The Azkaban Job lol? Magischer Heist in der HP-Welt. Das ist die Neuauflage der Geschichte, aber ohne die HP-Welt, mit einem sinnvolleren Ort und Ziel zum fancy Ausrauben sowie viel weniger vorgegebenen Charakteren. Geblieben sind tatsächlich nur die Winter-Geschwister, da Adams Verhaftung bisher immer noch der Ausgangspunkt und Joans Antrieb dafür sein soll, ja zum Heist zu sagen. Allerdings spielt es jetzt in einer eigenen Welt, die erst vor kurzem Magie entdeckt hat, was natürlich bestehende gesellschaftliche Strukturen neu definiert sowie was es heißt, Macht zu haben. Aber das alles ist bloß der Hintergrund, vor dem fun crime passiert lol ... oder doch nicht? dam dam dam :D

Horizontal Storms/Stormcrawlers

USA als Ganzes, alternative Historie. Das ehrgeizigste und umfassendste Projekt von allen? Damit aber leider auch ein Projekt, das noch viele Lücken hat und nicht ganz weiß, wohin mit sich bzgl. Plot. Der Kern bildet jedoch ein Sci-Fi/Eco-Fantasy/Magical-Realism/Abenteuer Mischmasch?  Irgendwann im späten 20. Jahrhundert tauchen zuerst in den USA, später auch anderswo auf der Welt, Naturphänomene auf, die die Leute ohne bessere Alternative als “Stürme” bezeichnen. Riesig groß, tornado- oder mahlstromartig bilden sie Tunnel, das alles verschlingt, was hineingerät und nicht mehr herausgibt, auch nachdem die Stürme zerbersten. Als ob das Innere der Stürme ein Portal zu einer anderen Dimension wäre, auch wenn die Ein- und Ausgänge eindeutig und regelmäßig in unserer Welt entstehen. Und was macht man angesichts eines grundgefährlichen Naturphänomens, das keiner erklären kann? Natürlich. Man entwickelt einen Extremsport im Untergrund drumherum und schlachtet das über illegale Übertragungskanäle aus lol. Kennt ihr Stormchasing? Das gepaart mit Rallye-Rennfahrten, einer Prise Monster Jam Campiness und Mad Max Bravado und tadaa: Stormracing ist geboren xD  Ziemlich einfache Grundidee: mehrere Rennteams treten gegeneinander an, um zu sehen, wer es als erstes durch so einen Sturmtunnel schafft. Neben den gegnerischen Teams muss man natürlich mit den Stürmen selbst kämpfen - herrscht in den Tunneln ja eine extrem menschenfeindliche Atmosphäre. Tornados und Sandstürme, unvorhersehbares Terrain und die Instabilität der Tunnelwände selbst, alles nicht so einfach. Die Teams bestehen jeweils aus zwei Fahrzeugen, ein Renn- und ein taktischer Wagen, in denen sich Personen verschiedener Rollen befinden, die es alle aus den Tunneln beschaffen müssen. Die Teams haben Stage Names, die meisten tragen Kostüme und Masken, es ist ne große Selbstdarstellung zusammen mit dem Nervenkitzel der immanenten Gefahr.  Und das alles ist nur der Hintergrund für die eigentliche Handlung lol (Und ja ja, auf meinem ff.de-Profil steht noch was zu mysteriösen Sponsoren, Expedition ins Ungewisse und jemand hat Amnesie - aber das gehört alles zu den o.g. Plotbaustellen, also muss es euch noch nicht interessieren xD)
