Quirky RC!Hajime - Erasure

Have a Reserve Course Hajime canceling Ultimates as if they were quirks. It's yet another silly post with no logic whatsoever. "Cancelling Ultimates", in this case, is just causing Ultimates to be less interested in their passion or, in Nagito's case, nullify strange luck occurrences.

Being at Hope’s Peak is honestly a blessing. This school is so reputable that it doesn’t matter that Hajime's not an Ultimate, there’s definitely a way he could become successful. Even though being an Ultimate would be…

He bumps into someone and his papers fall. “I’m sorry-”

“Watch where you’re going, Reserve Course,” sneers a white-haired guy. What the hell? Green eyes land on a brown uniform. Double what the hell? 

Fuck you. Hajime growls internally. 

“Right, sorry about that.” He says instead. Might as well be the bigger person.

“You should be.” The Ultimate scowls, dusting himself off. 

Nevermind. “Hey, what's your problem?”

“You should know your place. You’re scum of this Earth, a mere peasant, but that’d be generous of a title... you're barely even worthy of being a stepping stone, no, even a damn pebble to us Ultimates.” He replies snootily. What a dick.

The desire to shove him is visceral, but Hajime's got a tuition that isn’t going to pay for itself. He grits his teeth. “I didn’t realize all Ultimates were assholes.”

“Only to the ones that deserve it.” 

Fuck. 

This.

Guy. 

His fists clench. 

Scholarship. This was your dream.

Hajime's hands loosen. He glares at the other guy and turns on his heel. 

SHWING!

Is he resorting to throwing things now? What a child. Forget it. I don’t care. I have a test soon anyway. 

Not all Ultimates could be like that, right? Hajime frowns. He can't ignore the way his stomach plummeted at the interaction, the strange way his heart sank when he was so readily dismissed.

…Maybe this is why the saying “Don’t meet your heroes” exists.

Meanwhile, Nagito's left standing with his mouth wide open.

Did he… see that correctly? It reminded him of his luck, the way that the gray metal swung overhead, looking to land on the Reserve Course student’s head. He was thinking about “what a mess to clean up that would be”, internally cursing his luck for dirtying the grounds of Hope’s Peak with blood (the Reserve Course student wouldn't have even deserved it, no matter what he said), but instead it just- didn't? hit him? And launched itself into the ground next to where the other was standing before?

He’s never observed anything like it. His luck likes to force low probabilities into reality, but he’s never seen something completely ignore physics. 

And all around a Reserve Course student.

How... strange.

He shrugs it off, but his gaze lingers on the dark suit walking away.

[He doesn't believe in coincidences.]

✃ ┈┈┈┈ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°

A brunette sits on a fountain, playing on her GameGirl. Hajime scrutinizes her warily when he approaches, but she continues staring at her console. He shrugs. That’s not his problem, he’s just here to eat lunch. The white-haired Ultimate rings through his mind, and he eyes her brown uniform distastefully. He knows the idea of an Ultimate Gamer sounds like a really cool person to talk to, and she looks nice, but so did the other guy, so…

Normally, Hajime would try to avoid her, but the campus is only so big for Reserve Course students and this is his spot. He ensures to sit a few feet away from her and digs into the eggs he made for himself. Man, being on a budget is rough. He grabs a spoonful of egg and rice and

Beep! 

Instinctively, he tilts his head to the sound. Her GameGirl is closed, so she must’ve turned it off. God, now he’s missing his old console. It sucks he left it when he came to Hope’s Peak. While in his thoughts, he does catch the girl blinking and looking confused. Right, definitely not his problem. He lifts his spoon again. 

“Um, hello.” The Ultimate again prevents him from eating.

He sighs. Are all Ultimates really this rude? 

He sends an admittedly pointed look at her, who has set aside her game completely, considering it’s nowhere in sight on the fountain. Wasn’t gaming her talent? Was his existence seriously bothering her so much she had to put down her game? “Look, I’m sorry, I’m just trying to eat. I can leave if it’s bothering you that bad, but you could at least be direct about it.”

“I’m not bothered.” She answers. “I just want to talk, I think.”

His eyebrows furrow. Talk? “About… what? Your games?”

She hums. “I normally would like to, but no, not really.” She hums some more. “Oh, actually, I’m tired.” 

The girl yawns, and lays her head on her bag and her legs on the fountain.

Some talk that was. Was he that boring? They barely even had a back and forth! Ultimates are so damn confusing…

He looks down at her sleeping form and sighs. He can’t just leave her here asleep by herself. Who knows what could happen? 

Well, at least he gets to eat. He finishes his food and checks his phone. Next period is going to start in 10. 

The girl is still asleep. Hmm. Is no one seriously looking for her? Besides that, doesn’t she have any friends from her class? Where the hell are they? 

He could take her back to the Ultimate building, but no one will take too kindly to that.

Damn. What the hell does he do? 

“Hey.” He says.

No response. 

“Hey.”

Still nothing.

He jostles her shoulder slightly.

That does the trick, and she blinks up bleary-eyed at him. 

“I don’t know how your class schedule works, but next period is about to start for me.”

She tilts her head. “Why are you telling me this?” 

He flinches. “Fair enough I guess, geez. I was worried about leaving you alone in your sleep, because you’re being left vulnerable, you know? But clearly I shouldn’t have bothered thinking any Ultimate would be grateful.”

And he stomps out. 

Chiaki watches him storm away with a pout. She was just confused and wanted clarification…

He does seem to have a low opinion of Ultimates. Why would that be? Maybe a bad interaction with someone else who’s an Ultimate? Did he enter a flashback sequence because she triggered something? 

Right, she paused mid-level for some reason. She pulls out her GameGirl. The Reserve Course student lore unlocking could wait, she needs to 100% this level.

April 22nd 2005 saw the death of the sculptor and artist Eduardo Paolozzi

Paolozzi’s Italian parents ran a small ice cream parlour in Leith, in June 1940, when Italy declared war Eduardo was interned (along with most other Italian men in Britain).During Eduardo’s three-month internment at Saughton prison his father, grandfather and uncle, who had also been detained, were among the 446 Italians who drowned when the ship carrying them to Canada, the Arandora Star, was sunk by a German U-boat.

There is little online about his internment and you wouldn’t have condemned him if he decided to leave Scotland after his release, the words of a Proclaimer’s song always springs to mind when I read about Eduardo Paolozzi, and other Scots=Italians:

Joseph D'Angelo dreams of the days

When Italian kids in the Grassmarket played

We burned out his shop when the boys went to war

But auld Joe's a big man and he forgave all

By the time Eduardo was released it was 1943 and he began attending Edinburgh College of Art before moving to London and feigned madness to secure his release from army duties in order that he could study sculpture at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1944 to 1947.

Paolozzi is widely considered to be one of the first Pop artists and created many collages including the famous ‘I was a rich man’s plaything’ in 1947, which was the first artwork to feature the word ‘Pop’ in it.

After a spell in Paris he returned to London and moved into a studio in Chelsea and by the 1950s was establishing himself as a surrealist artist through a series of screen-prints, pioneering the technique in which each print can have a separate colourway, predating Warhol’s famous prints of the same nature by four years.

In 1968 Paolozzi taught sculpture and ceramics at the University of California, Berkeley. He worked in Berlin from 1974, and was Professor at the Fachhochschule in Cologne from 1977 to 1981. He also later taught at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich.

Paolozzi might have spent many years away from his home town of Edinburgh but didn’t forget it, he donated a great deal of work to the Scottish National Gallery, who have since displayed a reconstruction of his studio and a large body of his work in the Dean Gallery.

If you have wandered around Edinburgh and visited St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral you will have come across Eduardo Paolozzi statues, “Manuscript of Monte Cassino” which comprises a giant foot and matching hand and ankle. The work was a gift to the city by entrepreneur Tom Farmer, the work is found outside St Mary’s RC Cathedral, I like how the area there has three pieces of art, on the left at Picardy Place you can enjoy a statue of Sherlock Holmes, and on the right you have two giant Giraffes outside the Omni Centre made of scrap metal.

Eduardo Paolozzi suffered a serious stroke in 2001 and he died in a hospital in London in April 2005.

The pics I have chosn are all held by The National Gallery of Scotland, if you like his work you will find loads of it on their website, over 12 hundred are tagged in his name. https://www.nationalgalleries.org/search?search=eduardo%20paolozzi

If you don’t mind, I’d love to hear more about the Winterses’ relationships to each other! Anything from little details and habits to just general explanations/rundowns would be treasured :D

Anon I always want to talk about the Winterses I 100% do not mind at all lol.

I think the family as a whole is simultaneously really closely bonded (partially due to the sheer trauma they experienced together) and also experience a lot of friction very easily. They love each other intensely but they weren't really Raised together and they all come from different backgrounds, be them religious, cultural, or socioeconomic. It leaves room for a lot of friction, especially between Delia and the kids. I think in the early years there was a lot of rapid oscillation between "You're not my mom, my mom is dead, fuck off and stop trying to parent me" and "Delia i'm so sorry i'm so scared please never leave me". Sometimes within the hour. She was a like 32 year old woman suddenly in charge of 3 teenagers, having no real childcare experience, and it was kind of a mess. She loves the kids though and they love her. As adults her relationships with Michael and Ethan are a lot more stable than they were when they were younger--though conversely, while Ava relied on her a lot as a traumatized kid desperate for a parental figure, Ava is a lot more stilted with her now as an adult. Delia has never pretended she knew what she was doing or that she was prepared for this, but she's always made sure the kids know she loves them and she didn't keep them with her just out of obligation. She wants to be in their lives--whether that's as their mom, their 'aunt', their guardian, or just their friend. They get to define who she is to them, and she's okay that sometimes that changes in the moment (see: Ethan's POV. He mixes up whether Delia is his 'aunt' or just 'Delia' in his thoughts a lot, while also very clearly viewing her as a mom even if he avoids calling her that most of the time).

Delia’s focus since RC has always been the kids. She’s so deeply embedded in survivor networks to this day because she was one of the first to go “look we need to figure out long term options for fake IDs and paperwork. I’ve got three kids who should be in school.” She worked a lot of odd jobs once they reached California to keep the lights on (yes they maybe squatted in a few places at first what about it). She was a mechanic in RC but after coming to California she ended up working primarily private security at first because it paid well and was mostly nights. She went back to being a mechanic when the kids got a little older and Michael and Ethan started helping with rent (despite her insistences otherwise. They were adults and they were gonna help Damn it). Michael keeps trying to get her to take it easy these days but she’s only 50 damn it! Don’t treat her like she’s old!!

Michael! Michael is the most well adjusted man in this house comparatively (which isn't a high bar but at least he cleared it. Ethan faceplanted tripping over it). He was the oldest when RC happened among the kids, and as an adult he still takes his role as 'big brother' pretty seriously. He loves his idiot siblings, and he loves Delia, too. When RC first happened he was pretty wary of Delia (fairly enough. the world is ending, your mom is dead, your dad is missing, everything's gone to hell in a handbasket, there's paramilitary weirdos running around, and this random white woman just fished you out of the river with this blood-spattered kid next to her? Nah), and in the months that followed he definitely better handled her treating him like a younger friend/ally ("I know you don't really need me, but Ethan and Ava need us both, so would you be willing to help me with them?" kind of vibe, even if Delia is also 'YOU ARE A CHILD' at Michael internally). He supported the ruse of passing them off as a family long before he saw them as one, but he grew attached to Ethan and Ava, and Delia, faster than he'd have ever copped to as a kid. And for all his grumbling about the stupidity of their various schemes and covers ("Sure Delia pass off three kids as half-siblings by three different fathers, one of which you'd have had to have as a teenager, that's believable" "DO YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA MICHAEL IF I SAY YOU'RE ADOPTED OR FOSTER KIDS THAT WILL RAISE EVEN MORE QUESTIONS"), he's kind of glad Delia always insisted on passing them off as a family, one way or another (the Winterses changed aliases and cover stories a lot when running from Raccoon City to avoid a clear trail, before they settled down in Cali). These days, he's the kid most unashamed to call her mom. She's his mom! He had another mom, too, and that's okay. Delia is his mom and she's also just Delia and he loves her. Michael still lives with her in California. He's lived on his own a lot, of course, and dated around, but relationships aren't really for him (he's a scrupulously honest person and hates that any relationship would require lying), and he likes being at home. He does have a robust friend network, though, and he likes to volunteer coaching the swim team at the local Y. He works as a manager at a local goodwill center. He’d have liked to have gone into social work or a medical field, but he worried about any profession that would have required a lot of background checks. He did take some nursing classes in community college, though. He attended school late, like Ethan did—both for financial reasons and because they wanted longer for their identities to be settled before they braved college paperwork.

Michael gets along with both of his siblings really well. He’s Ethan’s best friend (and the person Ethan was on the phone with at the beginning of RE7 in TtVtL canon), and has always looked out for him, even when they were teenagers (it defo painted an entertaining picture to everyone else. Michael was Cool and Ethan was Not and every other ~17yr old was not sure why he let this weedy 15yr old with the thousand yard stare follow him around. There was a lot of “excuse you that’s my BROTHER” energy). Michael meanwhile is very much the grounding older brother presence for Ava. She’s not good at taking Advice from Ethan because they’re closer in age and she thinks those in glass-houses-of-pretending-nothing-happened should not throw stones, but she’s better at taking it from Michael. She’s his baby sister and he wants to protect her but he also knows lecturing her doesn’t get him anywhere. I think as the two POC of the family they also just have bonding points on issues Ethan and Delia just can’t get.

Ava...loves her family. But it's hard to be around them. She's just still so angry about everything that happened, and her family respects her anger, but Delia just wants to keep the kids safe and Michael just wants to live a normal life and Ethan wants to pretend nothing happened. It's frustrating for her to try to talk to them about it because Ethan Doesn't want to talk about it and Michael mostly just is like "Ava babe please consider therapy" and Delia understands her anger but is also like. Her Mom. she wants her to be careful and safe and Ava doesn't want to be careful she wants the world to answer for what happened!! She fights with Ethan about it the most. But they still love each other--and would do anything to protect each other. She lives far away from the rest of the family and can't contact them a lot, but calls when she can. She has...employment. Her employer is not her day job. Her day job does not know her name is Ava Winters. She does not enjoy her work, but she thinks it's necessary. But if she had to choose between her job and her family? Her family. Always. She won't lose anyone again.

Metrea announces the first commercial air refueling of USAF aircraft

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 13/07/2023 - 16:00 in Military

Metrea is proud to have been part of a historic debut by providing commercial air-to-air refueling for RC-135 and E-3 U.S. Air Force aircraft in support of the RESOLUTE HUNTER exercise.

Although U.S. Navy and Marine Corps units regularly use commercial air refueling services for training and support, this is the first time that U.S. Air Force aircraft have used commercial air refueling.

A Metrea Strategic Mobility KC-135 refuels a USAF RC-135 for the first time. At the end of June, Metrea provided four air refueling support missions for U.S. Air Force aircraft during an exercise, transferring almost 90,000 pounds of fuel during 13 boom contacts. (Photo: Metrea)

From June 23 to 29, Metrea Strategic Mobility (MSM) provided four air refueling support missions for RC-135 and E-3 aircraft in support of the RESOLUTE HUNTER exercise. The total included 13 boom contacts and almost 90,000 pounds of discharged fuel, providing air refueling training for the RC-135 and E-3 crews and allowing them to extend their participation in the RE

"It was appropriate to be able to support the U.S. Air Force in achieving this important milestone during the same week that we marked the 100ºth anniversary of air refueling," said Jon "Ty" Thomas, head of the Metrea Air and Space Group. "Our team worked closely with NAVAIR, the Air Combat Command and the RC-135 and E-3 receiving units to accomplish this and provide the necessary training effect. We hope to support more refueling requirements from the U.S. Air Force, as well as increase demand from allies and partners."

An RC-135 Rivet Joint assigned to the 55ª Wing of Offutt Air Base was the first to receive commercial air-to-air refueling, followed by an E-3 Sentry assigned to the 552ª Air Control Wing of Tinker Air Base.

A Metrea KC-135R refueling U.S. Navy Super Hornet fighters.

For Metrea Strategic Mobility, this marks another historic milestone, after recently completing the first commercial replenishment in April 2023 in support of a U.S. Navy P-8.

A KC-135R from Metrea Strategic Mobility was sent to the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, United Kingdom, from July 14 to 16.

Metrea Strategic Mobility is the only company to own and operate a fleet of KC-135R aircraft, offering an air-to-air refueling service that integrates seamlessly, safely and professionally with military aviation training and operations, with a mission reliability rate of 93% since the beginning of the execution of a NAVAIR contract at the end of 2021.

Metrea combined aviation units flew more than 130,000 hours of accident-free flight, in various types of aircraft, missions and geographies in support of the US, UK and other national security objectives of allied governments and partners. Metrea Strategic Mobility aircraft are equipped with two Multipoint Refueling System (MPRS) pods mounted on the wings, which facilitate refueling with Navy, Marine Corps and partner nations aircraft equipped with probes.

Metrea Strategic Mobility is headquartered in Temecula, California; Metrea is headquartered in Washington, DC, with facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union.

Fifteenth Week

Hi, my name is Robert Laskarzewski, and I am currently a sophomore at the Darla Moore School of Business studying International Business and Marketing. I’m a part of the International Business Responsible International Leadership (RIL) program and will spend the Spring and Fall semesters at the ESSEC Cergy campus. I was born and raised in California, about an hour away from San Francisco. I chose to attend the University of South Carolina specifically because of the RIL program and the amount of time abroad that was offered. Once I was accepted, it was an easy choice to pursue my studies there.

This week marked my last week of official classes, now all that’s left is two more finals – one of which will be assigned on the 18th (and due a week later) and the other is an exam on the 25th. My volunteering program in May has been mostly finalized and I had a brief conversation with my manager. He informed me what day to come on and that he would pick me up from the train station and help me settle in – although I’m quite nervous I’m sure it will be an amazing experience. He mentioned something about the beach in our brief three minute-long phone call which piqued my interest.

During the week however, I did have several of my finals including my French language final, French history/culture final, my Entrepreneurship final presentation, and my final paper for my E-Business class. The paper I wrote was about how blockchain can be used for business applications and whether it has real applicable use. I concluded that without public support, blockchain technologies would probably be unlikely to succeed on a mass scale – I’ll probably be wrong but that’s not too important.

On Friday, I went to Paris to get more of my film developed, see a museum, and watch a soccer game.

I went to the Paris Sewer Museum, a very interesting but quite small museum. It was basically just a stairway down to the sewer level of Paris where you could walk on walkways over a running Parisian sewer. It didn’t smell anywhere near as bad as I thought it would and I found it to be quite interesting all in all. I did see a few sewer rats which was pretty cool. I also went to a soccer game between Versailles FC and FC Villefranche Beaujoulais. It was very cold and misting the entire time so I ended up leaving after the first half, furthermore I didn’t really like the vibes of the stadium.

On Saturday, I went to Paris – again, to see a soccer game. This time it would be two of the heavy hitters in the First Division of French football, Lens and PSG. I almost didn’t go to this game, but I know I would forever regret not having gone to see Lionel Messi playing. Once I took the RER and the metro to the Le Parc des Princes, I found my way to my seat which was only five rows from the field. I was rooting for RC Lens so I was quick to celebrate their goal from the penalty spot, shouting as loud as I could among the PSG supporters. Despite the loss for my team of choice, I was happy to see so many players that I had only seen on TV.

Let Me Introduce HBNU Dormitory

Let Me Introduce HBNU Dormitory

By Lee Sun-min Cub Reporter, Junior of Department of Computer Engineering

For students facing challenges with solo living or long commutes to school, information about HBNU's dormitory is indispensable. While you can find basic details on the dorm website, let's delve deeper into the essential facilities, unique building features, and some firsthand tips for making the most out of dorm life.

Facility Overview

Location: Situated approximately 900 meters from the school's front gate towards the HBNU Office of International Affairs (S0), the dormitory is conveniently close to the ROTC building (S11). Consisting of seven buildings including Doksuri, Hanbat, and the BTL (Build-Transfer-Lease) hall, the dormitory's main center is Doksuri-dong, equipped with dining, study, and gym facilities. Meanwhile, Seongsil-dong and Inhwa-dong belong to the Hanbat dormitory, with the BTL dormitories divided between Mongnyeonhwa-dong and Sonamu-dong (1st building), and Mirae-dong and Injae-dong (3rd building).

Features: The Hanbat-hall offers apartment-style living with four students per room, sharing a spacious living area, toilet, and shower. In contrast, the BTL hall features double and single rooms in a hallway-style setup.

Facilities

The 1st BTL hall houses a cafeteria, convenience store, study room, laundry facilities, RC center, and gym, while similar amenities are available in Doksuri-dong. The 3rd BTL hall includes a café, community room, lecture room, lounge, reading room, laundry, and communal kitchen. New installations like refrigerators, water purifiers, and microwaves have been added to all floors since the second semester of 2022.

Tips for Dorm Life

Access and Curfew: Upon check-in, you'll receive an access card key crucial for building entry. Regular curfews are held monthly, requiring all residents' participation. Keep an eye on bulletin board notices for curfew details.

Parcel Services: Parcel pickup locations vary by dormitory section, with designated areas for each hall's residents.

Cafeteria Usage: New users must register a password and blood vessel biometrics for cafeteria access. Remember your password for future use, and check the menu on the dormitory website or the "Everytime" app for daily offerings and mealtime schedules.

Considering HBNU's dormitory for your next semester? It's worth exploring for its convenience and amenities!

i realised the bio i wrote for claire is infinitely long and people might get bored to read all that, so here's a quick rundown that will get linked in my pinned post.

1979 - claire is born in NYC. dad works in constructions, mom in cps.

1991 - her parents die in a car crash, she gets out of it with a few burns and cuts but it's when her survivor's guilt starts.

1991 to 1996 - since the redfields didn't have any will prepared, at first claire was placed in a foster home until chris got parental rights over her. eventually chris joined the air force and met barry burton, whose family ended up fostering claire in agreement with chris.

1997 - claire goes to college. while initially she was supposed to go to nursing school, she settles for an EMT course to become a paramedic.

1998 - she's still in college, soon to get her first certification. then summer happens, chris stops answering her phone calls so she decides to go to RC and see what's going on. the rest is history.

october 1998 - claire stays with sherry and leon while decoding chris' letter. at some point towards mid november she leaves for paris.

december 1998 - she infiltrates in the parisian umbrella labs as an intern, gathers evidence for her shared plan with leon to take the corporation down, but doesn't find anything about chris. she's eventually found out and captured after basically destroying the whole place, held prisoner on rockfort island until she manages to escape en route to an umbrella base in antarctica. eventually she reunites with chris.

1999 to 2003 - claire attempts to finish her studies, eventually gets her certificates and starts working as a paramedic to prove that she has financial stability to get parental rights over sherry. of course she never gets them, resulting in her always clashing with simmons despite him granting unlimited visit rights. in the mean time she's still working on unravel the conspiracy behind RC and umbrella, getting under terrasave's radar.

2004 - she officially joins terrasave after years spent advocating for them and tagging along to tell her story. she's immediately made a prominent member, and then sent to valdelobos ( spain ) to provide humanitarian aid. obviously things go south, and the volunteers leave before accomplishing anything.

2005 - claire is supervising the distribution of vaccines on behalf of terrasave, working closely with the FDA. the harvardville airport outbreak happens. around this time she also meets neil, a former FBC agent. due to his experience, he's eventually voted as a member of terrasave's executive board.

2006 - while in penamstan to provide humanitarian aid, claire finds out that during the 2000 war there's been an outbreak nobody ever covered on the news. of course she decides to investigate on it, getting kidnapped in the process. she eventually finds out the truth, ending up in a fight with leon about whether share it with the media or not. they're currently the only people ( alive ) who know about what happened, implying claire decided not go to the press anymore.

2007 - tba.

2008 - tba.

2009 - tba.

2010 - terrasave ( claire ) mediates between BSAA and DSO to form an alliance. as rumours of a presumed engagement with neil arise, claire decides to use that spotlight to endorse adam benford's presidency.

2011 - claire and other terrasave members are kidnapped during an event and brought on sejm island, where they wake up to find out a woman nicknamed the overseer has infected them with the virus strain t-phobos and is running experiments on them. with moira burton's help, claire discovers that neil was sent by FBC commissioner morgan lansdale to infiltrate terrasave and carry on his plans to get the former fbi branch reopened. claire, moira and natalia korda are the sole survivors, all three currently still infected with t-phobos albeit assumed that the virus has adapted to them.

2012 - claire and ark thompson work together to clear terrasave's name after neil's scandals. claire goes on a personal mission to find all the people involved in the conspiracy in attempt to atone for the lives lost on sejm. clues lead to an even bigger agency moving the strings.

2013 - claire is present during benford's speech in tall oaks, finally at peace about the fact that the truth about what happened in RC is finally being released and her story validated. she remains in the city providing aid as the outbreak spreads.

2014 - she tells chris various places where he could find leon according to her knowledge, and along with terrasave provides aid in the aftermath of the new york outbreak. some time later she's sent to investigate on sonido de tortuga island, eventually discovering that before sejm, alex wesker was conducting researches on t-phobos in a local umbrella facility. in this occasion is introduced zilì, a double agent for shén yà pharmaceutical.

2015 - sent in san francisco to investigate on a case of mutilated orcas washed ashore, claire ends up working on a joint investigation with chris, jill and rebecca. the clues lead them straight to alcatraz, where they're baited by former umbrella soldier dylan blake and infected with a strain of t-virus. claire is the one who seems to suffer it the most albeit never actually turning. eventually she's saved thanks to rebecca's vaccine, though due to the stress caused by the virus and t-phobos fighting it to keep her alive ( as it is designed for ) leaves claire with a mutated iris in the process. dylan's taunting makes claire question whether there are other conspirators left in terrasave.

April 22nd 2005 saw the death of the sculptor and artist Eduardo Paolozzi

Paolozzi’s Italian parents ran a small ice cream parlour in Leith, in June 1940, when Italy declared war Eduardo was interned (along with most other Italian men in Britain).During Eduardo’s three-month internment at Saughton prison his father, grandfather and uncle, who had also been detained, were among the 446 Italians who drowned when the ship carrying them to Canada, the Arandora Star, was sunk by a German U-boat.

There is little online about his internment and you wouldn’t have condemned him if he decided to leave Scotland after his release, the words of a Proclaimer’s song always springs to mind when I read about Eduardo Paolozzi, and other Scots=Italians: 

Joseph D'Angelo dreams of the days When Italian kids in the Grassmarket played We burned out his shop when the boys went to war But auld Joe’s a big man and he forgave all

By the time Eduardo was released it was 1943 and he began attending Edinburgh College of Art before moving to London and feigned madness to secure his release from army duties in order that he could study sculpture at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1944 to 1947.

Paolozzi is widely considered to be one of the first Pop artists and created many collages including the famous ‘I was a rich man’s plaything’ in 1947, which was the first artwork to feature the word ‘Pop’ in it.

After a spell in Paris he returned to London and moved into a studio in Chelsea and by the 1950s was establishing himself as a surrealist artist through a series of screen-prints, pioneering the technique in which each print can have a separate colourway, predating Warhol’s famous prints of the same nature by four years.

In 1968 Paolozzi taught sculpture and ceramics at the University of California, Berkeley. He worked in Berlin from 1974, and was Professor at the Fachhochschule in Cologne from 1977 to 1981. He also later taught at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich.

Paolozzi might have spent many years away from his home town of Edinburgh but didn’t forget it, he donated a great deal of work to the Scottish National Gallery, who have since displayed a reconstruction of his studio and a large body of his work in the Dean Gallery.

If you have wandered around Edinburgh and visited St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral you will have come across Eduardo Paolozzi statues, “Manuscript of Monte Cassino” which comprises a giant foot and matching hand and ankle. The work was a gift to the city by entrepreneur Tom Farmer, the work is found outside St Mary’s RC Cathedral, I like how the area there has three pieces of art, on the left at Picardy Place you can enjoy a statue of Sherlock Holmes, and on the right you have two giant Giraffes outside the Omni Centre made of scrap metal.

Eduardo Paolozzi suffered a serious stroke in 2001 and he died in a hospital in London on this dayin April 2005.

Pics are of the man and his work, the second is with John Cleese at his 70th birthday party.

[knucklestheenchilada]

Saw your repost saying you have plants from black mirror?! What do you do on set? How did you get into it? I’ve always wanted to work on movies/tv

i'm a scenic artist, which basically means that I paint sets and some props! I don't wanna go into too much detail because I don't know who's on Tumblr or who will see this but I went and got a bachelor's in production arts and design and before that one in technical stage management. (you 100% don't need both I just hate myself) I started in theatre and then someone needed a painter for a film and it kinda just snowballed from there!

Getting in is the hardest part but once you work for people who know you're competent/like you they'll snag for projects! You can't just show up to a studio not knowing anything unless you got family already in the business (yes production side nepo babies are a thing)

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Is a great school to look into. Don't let the name fool you, it's not as fancy as it seems but they do offer scholarships for international students and all the profs are great. Their tech/production courses are only three years. If you're in the states there's the Pacific Conservatory Theatre which is in the armpit of California Santa Maria, they're a 2 year course but they also have summer internships! Both of these places are really hands on so you're actually working on and running theatre productions instead of just sitting at a desk and writing essays

RCS Is great if you have a focus like scenic art or props or lighting or stage management while PCPA Is great if you want to learn how to do a little bit of everything while having a set department as your goal. While They're both theatre oriented the skills can transfer to film

If you apply to either of them, dm me and I'll throw you my name so you can toss it out to them as a buzz word xx

[castle-dominion]

castle 5x15 target. Plot heavy babes. I remember seeing gifs from this ep & when I saw that this was the one I got super excited. Good thing I have an extra 15 minutes on my schedule.

The intro was great. here's the transcript: A man runs through an alley, avoiding puddles and trying not to fall. He does, but he’s up in a second and continuing his run. He jumps over a homeless man and into the street. There’s a van racing toward him, but he just takes a stance and starts shooting at it. Despite taking several hits, the van doesn’t stop. It plows right into the man. Why doesn't he get out of the way tho? he shot as much as she could

RC: Ah. The student becomes – (he chews and she waits) – the failed student. The dropout. You fed her this? (he grimaces) Mother, you are forever forbidden from practicing the art of pancake-do(ugh)

RC: Like Simba in The Lion King. It’s the circle of life.

I didn't know shoes did that irl... RC: Yeah, but I wouldn’t be okay with that. I don’t want to see where she goes. What other birds of prey are out there, or what other nests, or – btw becks is pretty man vs van lol Wow. I know we saw it but still.

Jan. New name for this uniformed officer. nice gun! Columbia? *concerned for his daughter* don't much like Bram stoker? Lmao (oh wow

BS: (dryly) Witty. I’ve never heard that one before. I grew up with a punny name. Joy. People said "you must be a joyful person" whenever they would meet me for the first time. I had depression. (not diagnosed yet ofc but still.)

Ah. Overly familiar. He threatened to kill you? Bro, you have authority behind you, this is not the time to be flirting. Vampires ARE in right now, just like a few seasons ago when ryan's ex girlfriend got them into a website

KR: *whistles* Look at this building. Hasim was living large for a college student. JE: Yeah, add that to the list of things about this dude that don’t add up. His records say he started as a freshman at 24. Now who does that? Me, in college: You would be surprised at the variance in age. But then again there is typically a lull. You either go in right after high school (or after a gap year) but then there are less ppl in there for a bit, & then they start coming back at maybe 30, 35. The majority of students I know in my term between 21 & 30 are international students. A lot of them have taken classes at home in the phillipenes & some are using a student visa to start immigration. Ofc the 24yo I do know who is not filipino was a meth addict & has a 3yo son so,, that's another explanation

empty place nope nvm just clean, that place is full of punching bags & stuff. Like esposito's. WOAH THAT IS A ... NICE.. CASE OF GUNS. Not locked or anything??? is this man insane? KR: Uh, yeah. And if his black belt skills didn’t get it done he always had this. light years measure distance...

only 24 & in special forces swiss bank accounts, as usual Nice hair on esposito RC: (shrugs) Maybe Jack Bauer was driving.

KIDNAPPING

ryan's shirt was pink in the other lighting & these stripes are interesting

These poor poor fellows, their daughter got abducted. I mean I like his tie they both look good... but this is sad bro the cops didn't know he was a discreet bodyguard

Agent Harris.

KB: Scared. Devastated. AH: Okay, that’s good. RC: It is? AH: It beats angry or defensive. They want to be helpful and honest,

RC: I've considered it

If the roommate wasn't listening too hard, science fiction is related enough to science. Could clip: It has the word in it Which I still haven't read XD

Oh NO I'm sure she can help solve the case... nice ringtone lol OH NO IT WAS ALEXIS lol nice pic of dad is sara's phone also there?

RC earlier: Oh, yeah. I just – can’t imagine what they’re going through right now. RC now: *his daughter was ALSO kidnapped*

Harris: Easier to take her than.. *looks at castle* not

Looks like a drug smuggler tbh Ah he fled. Could be political. If they find out she is the daughter of a rich novelist then they might use sara for political stuff & alexis for ransom.

Gates will just see friends comforting each other, it's fine

Oof they all watch him leave... KR: It’s Alexis. He’s gotta be wrecked. Hell, I’m wrecked. allexis AND Sara

MR: No, no, no. I’m not just saying this. She’s going to be all right. I feel it in my heart and my heart is never wrong. RC: What about your first marriage? MR: Well... RC: And your second? MR: Okay, fine. Fine. Occasionally my heart is wrong, but it is not in this case.

Plainclothes & unmarked, wise decision.

Aww looking at her school photos NO SHE HAS GIVEN INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE & WHEN SHE SKATES BEFORE NO NO FREAKING IDIOT ASDJFKLSDFASHGSDCJF

RC: Don’t. (she goes to respond, but doesn’t) Don’t promise me you’ll find her unless you can do it. Because … (he pauses, then his voice breaks) … I would never forgive you. (she’s quiet) Any more than I’d ever forgive myself.

It is already late, what's going on?

LT my beloved

No, she didn't call be she has no GOOD news, she might not have bad news either. If she was dead, she'd call, if she was alive, she'd call, if they are not sure, they'd rather keep him in the dark. Probs should stay home, don't come.

See what? Do they KNOW what they will see?

DP & camera crew & editing & all this stuff did really great. The way lanie stops him it is so important to me, the movement the camera the voice, I might clip this it is painful & beautiful

a+ like me! I should donate blood again. I need more iron tho. Your baby hhhhhh castle crying sdjsldkfsdjfksdfljsldfjk Castle they know how to do this

Castle should go hug the other couple. He has worked with the police, he can support them in knowing the cops are succeeding, they can support him in being emotionally distraught parents together.

Truck pod? Why are the lamps on? ig so the girls can find them & don't freak out. Why didn't they get dropped on the bed initially tho? instead of waking up on the floor?

I JUST GOT CALLED IN FOR WORK GOSH HECK IT. & I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TRY TO CATCH THE BUS THAT WOULD GET ME THERE HALF AN HOUR EARLY SO I'M GOING TO HAVE ONLY FIVE MINUTES TO GET IN, IRON MY CLOTHES, CHANGE, & GET ON THE LINE. GRRRR

I'm back.

I like her accent Ooh a course on security Both your dads are rich Wow alexis has Some Shoes (& also rings) At least they gave you clothes & towels.... & food

Ooh that car stuff sounds cool but I don't understand any of it

You know they want you alive, you know this room has a washroom Ryan looking nice ngl I genuinely thought that Ryan meant he was dead

You would... like a minute with him? Good, he's the dad, maybe he can get emotion on his side I'm not a cop This is SO SO SO intimidating. this is GOOD WHAT THE CRAP (it might be,, traumatizing to torture someone)

No thanks my adrenaline will suffice

Nice telescope

relationship w/o eye contact lmao. I mean, audio amiright?

KB: Tell me what happened with Douglas Stevens. RC: RC: I appealed to his humanity. KB: KB: I didn’t think you had that side to you. RC: Well, when it comes to the people I love, I do.

My mother knows a little bit of arabic. Like, ten words

Didn't he see the cams on his telescope? I like how the fbi yelled out that they had a search warrant

Tiny person!

Then why did they say "return to your post we have visitors" if they were not the fbi visiting the farmhouse?
