Die USA haben geplante gemeinsame Militärübungen mit Georgien vor dem Hintergrund der Spannungen mit der georgischen Regierung ausgesetzt. Die Teilnahme der US-Armee an dem eigentlich zwischen 25. Juli und 6. August angesetzten Manöver unter dem Namen »Noble Partner« werde »bis auf Weiteres ausgesetzt«, erklärte das Verteidigungsministerium in Washington am Freitag. Hintergrund seien »falsche Anschuldigungen« der Regierung in Tiflis.

Das Pentagon bezog sich auf Aussagen georgischer Politiker, Washington dränge Georgien dazu, Krieg gegen Russland zu führen und sei an zwei Putschversuchen gegen die Regierung beteiligt gewesen. Die US-Regierung habe daher entschieden, der Zeitpunkt für eine »groß angelegte Militärübung in Georgien« sei »unangemessen«. Die Beziehungen zwischen Washington und Tiflis hatten sich zuletzt erheblich eingetrübt - insbesondere, seit das georgische Parlament auf Initiative der Regierungspartei Georgischer Traum Anfang Juni trotz erheblichen äußeren Drucks aus den USA und der EU ein Gesetz gegen ausländische Einflussnahme verabschiedet hatte. Politiker aus EU-Staaten hatten sich in Tiflis an Demonstrationen und Kundgebungen gegen die Regierung beteiligt. Im Mai hatte Washington eine »umfassende Überprüfung der bilateralen Zusammenarbeit« angekündigt.

Okay but Donna. DONNA. She gets to live her life with both her husband AND her platonic life partner. She'd wanted to be with him forever and now she CAN. She gets both a permanent romantic and permanent platonic partner. Who like each other. Who don't resent the other's existence. Do you understand how MONUMENTAL that is???

ok but the rosier twins + the black cousins were the most ethereal otherworldly beautiful people to ever walk the grounds of that school and I will not be taking any objections

[variousqueerthings]

the doctor being a part of the noble family has the energy of an addams family cousin -- imagines rose being in a school play and the doctor fixing up some gizmo to open up a tiny gap to some part of the universe where stars shine particularly brightly for midsummer night's dream, and accidentally almost levels the school by misjudging how close they are to this one very dense planet (people in the audience confusedly waving at aliens who are just as confusedly waving their tentacles back from a thousand years in the future a million light years away. everybody afterwards talks about the great special effects, but they're not sure what it has to do with the story)

people trying to figure out who this "the doctor" person is and why he's living with the nobles, and always trying to catch out that there's something going on, but the doctor's answers to all their inquiries are so lowkey bonkers as to bamboozle any further attempts (so where are you from again? oh just this place, well, I say place, planet, well, I say planet I don't actually know these days, but somewhere certainly... is Ipswich a place? how do you know mrs noble again? we travelled together for a bit, and then, well you know how it is when you get hit with a face full of radiation, ey *snort-laughs at his own joke* and what's your name again? doctor, the "the" is a pronoun, it can get confusing I know, but people on this planet choose their names all the time, you'll catch up)

just this house gremlin in a setup that nobody from the outside understands, toddling about, showing up at every event that rose has going for her, wearing little pride pins that might be partially for himself as well as for rose (gay??? one of those trans ones????), always seems to be talking about strange places that nobody has heard of but doesn't want to admit to, occasionally goes eerily still and unnerving around people who are cruel and mean, knows a lot about history, but peppers it with facts that can't possibly be true, gets on very well with shaun who always answers questions with "the doctor's part of the family, youknow?" they do not know, but at this point it's too rude to keep asking

Just me and the Doctor, together. Is that all right? Yeah, course it is.

[livhowlett]

I'd love if we got a reference to the best Doctor and Donna scene in S3 of Good Omens

But it's just Crowley and Aziraphale across the room from each other giving exaggerated eye rolls, sassy eye brow raises and all the other amazing ways they communicate non verbally.

I just really wanna watch David and Michael really flex on their top teir facial expressions. They do a little of it in S1 and S2, but I want a full out scene/argument between them.

actually cassius changing keefes last name on the passport is. interesting. on some level, he's still denying that keefe is a part of the family. he's still not entirely the sencen that cassius wanted him to be. but by giving him the name foster, he's acknowledging that maybe he can be something else. maybe its okay to let go. idk. cassius is a bit of an oddball.

So how did ingo evolve in the Combee au after you know they got separated

Long and complicated answer! Welcome to The Plot!

After Ingo and Emmet are separated, Ingo tumbles into Hisui and is generally pretty worse for wear. He has to relearn how to fly (alone and unbalanced) and figure out how to Survive.

Thankfully for him, he manages to make some friends :] Mainly in the form of a slightly greener Laventon, fresh on the scene in Hisui and substantially newer to the field of research- A hurt combee, while still a Pokemon, is a lot easier for one man to handle and approach on his own. He takes Ingo back to his office at Jubilife and nurses him back to health- And while he sleeps one night as Laventon is burning the midnight oil, the little bee beegins to take on a glow. It encircles him like a halo, and when the light clears, he has a little red marking in the shape of a triangle on his chin.

Laventon gets to witness the first Hisuian Combee, Ingo himself rather clueless to the whole thing.

His evolution comes a lot later, after Laventon reintroduces him to the wild; Laventon takes Ingo to the Combee colony living in the Heartwood and makes sure he acclimates well enough/isn't rejected before falling back to leave him bee.

I haven't decided exactly what happens and when, but in the time Laventon spends away, Ingo evolves in an attempt to protect the colony from some kind of danger. When Laventon finds him again he's nearly unrecognizable- An alpha- A noble by right, first of his kind and dignified guard to the field's Combee.

He recognizes Ingo not by appearance but by his behavior alone- Treating Laventon with familiarity and hospitality. He's exceptionally gentle for his size and strength, and continues to get along with humans shockingly well. (As a pokemon from the future, we've seen they are broadly more domesticated.)

Is this a ramble! Yes! It is! There was no quick answer to the question :> I hope you enjoy the elevator pitch plot points. I love the bees so fuckin much man....... Why does Arceus bless Ingo? Great question. I just think he should be gods favorite. As a treat. And also it's a super awesome story device that I haven't seen many other people use- the origins of Hisuian Pokemon.

Thank you for the ask!!
