Double Team (brief) Triumph: Stinger v Cage Thunder & Lightning Rod (bgeast.com)

We all love an underdog story, but I think deep down what we truly love is a story where our stunningly gorgeous underdog thinks he out muscles two supervillains, only to get humiliated in the end.

Stinger v Cage Thunder & Lightning Rod (bgeast.com)

SPOILER ALERT: I highly recommend viewing this match in its entirety before reading this post.  

The Backstory

Our hero enters the ring sporting the optimism of a champ with a simple demand - he will take both villains on but wants to ensure that just one bad guy in the ring at a time.  Yeah, good luck buddy with your opponents fighting fair and all.  

Ladies and gentlemen, our strapping, lean hero versus two muscled heels.

And it's a fair(ish) fight at first with only one villain in the ring at a time.  Frankly, there doesn't even seem to be a reason to fight dirty when you're two badass villains against one hero.  

Stretch out our hero and show off that ripped torso.

Cage Thunder checking to make sure those abs aren't painted on.  Yup they are rock solid, at least for now that is. 

But sooner rather than later they both cheat and gang up on our hero, and why do they cheat? Say it with me now, simply because they can!

The Double Team

A double team on its own would be bad enough but now our hero is unmasked and is robbed of his dignity.  Reese's red, flushed face simply cannot contain the pain and embarrassment he feels.

Not content with mere victory, our villains need to humiliate the young Stinger/Reese.  Holds are applied longer than they need to and that smooth body is manhandled more than necessary, all of this to prove a point; they do it simply because they can.  

The Triumph

Despite overwhelming odds, our hero overcomes his opponents not through skill or strength but by exploiting their major flaw - their hubris.  You see, Reese has been studying them and knows these guys want him bad, so bad in fact they'll let their guard down at an opportune moment...

I mean look at the chest on Reese, they man may be lithe but he's got some power behind him. 

Our hero celebrates his impossible victory against two legendary heels, but no sooner does he proclaim that good has overcome evil when trouble starts brewing underfoot.  You see our hero has his own flaws and is equally susceptible to hubris as the poor guy gets cocky while tasting his triumph. 

Reese: How do you like that? Two on one and I still kicked both of your ass'?!

It should come as no surprise that in the end, little Reese Wells aka the Stinger, could not hold back both supervillains.  One supervillain is tough enough but two is impossible, especially not when both were enraged with defeat.  With the 'official' match over, Cage Thunder and Lightning Rod unleash their full heel mode, all over poor Reese. 

And with that the match is over.  Now I'm sure we all like to think of ourselves as good and just, but our bad guys know us better than that. They know exactly where our true emotions stand and knew that this ending is what we really wanted all along.

mulder: do you think a lightning strike could’ve caused this? (holds up a piece of glass from a beach) do you have any idea what temperature sand solidifies into glass?

me who’s watched sweet home alabama: yes actually i do think that lightning could’ve caused that

my girl- chris sturniolo

summary- chris has liked you for a long time and he wants to take you out on a date, his first date ever.

A/N- this is one of my first pics I made from a request, hope y'all like it. it's super fluffy and I'm here for it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you stare at yourself in the mirror, and smile at your reflection. you had looked up a new way to do your makeup and you wore black leggings with a cropped shirt (that made your boobs look great). after 2 years of being really close friends, chris finally asked you out. your stomach fills with butterflies at the thought, before your phone pinged. you see that the message is from chris and you scramble to open it.

I'll be there in ten. remember to make sure to wear something you can move around in :)

your heart warms at seeing that he already took care of all the planning and arrangements for your date. chris was a pretty go with the flow kind of guy, so the fact that he went out of his way to make set plans showed how much he cared. you sighed happily and went to go wait for him downstairs.

after a while the door rings and you literally run to open it in excitement. "chris!" you practically throw yourself into his arms making him chuckle. "someones excited" he teases, his breathe tickling your ear. you blush and let go of him only to see a 7'11 bag in his grasp. you look up at him curiously and he smiles. "I stopped and got you a Snapple and two king size Reeses on the way here." you do a quick happy dance and immediately dive into the bag to grab the Reeses. "damn, slow down, we're eating later" he says while laughing his ass off. you scarf one of the cups down and he heads back to the car opening the passengers door for you. "wait matts not in the car, so who the hell is driving??" you say once you see not a soul in their car. "shhhhh" chris puts one finger to his lips with a goofy mischevious look on his face. "NO SHOT, YOUR DRIVING ILLEGALLY???" you yell in shock as he closes his door. "yeah, and guess what? I'm gonna give lightning McQueen a run for his money." he says as he pulls out.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

surprisingly enough, he pulls into a parking spot with both of you completely unharmed. you can see now that you guys are going to top golf. "you just brought me here so you can show off." you say jockingly rolling your eyes. "I just wanted to look good in front of my girl. how bout this, every time I get a good hit, we make out. that sounds like a great plan." he bites his lips and it reminds you of how he acts when he's getting flirty with matt. "that shit was so weird." you say after a minute and he laughs at your disappointed look.

we walk in to top golf and you immediately notice that no one else is in the building. he rented the place out?! , you think to yourself in awe. none of the triplets flexed their money, but times like these reminded you how well off they are. a swell of pride hits you at how far they have come, from nothing to something. your pulled out of your moment when you see an assortment of workers come and grab both you and chris' bags and a young gentleman leads both of you to your spot. on the table, there are candles lit and a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase. your favorite flowers. chocolate covered strawberries are out on the table as well, and on the mesh area that catches balls, Wall-e, your favorite Disney movie, was being projected. you marveled at all the thoughtful gifts and a lump forms in your throat. "you did all this for me? these are all my favorite things." you look up at him tears rolling down your cheeks. he wipes them and smiles down at you softly. "matt and nick helped me with all this too. they were almost as excited as I was." he says and more tears fall down your face at the thought of matt and nick helping. this must have taken forever. he cups your face and shakes it gently. "if you ever stop cryin', we can get to playing, hun" he teases. you wipe your face and walk to the podium to put in you and chris' info, while chris orders both of you drinks.

suddenly your smile drops and embarrassment floods you . "um chris.... I'm really bad at golf" you turn to him only to see him coming towards you. "yeah I know" he laughs. "nick went with you one time and he said you were HORRIBLE" you giggle at his potent Boston accent when he says the word horrible and he scoffs. "like really bad, so lets see what you got." he steps back so you can grab a club. Once a ball rolls out, you line up and make a poor excuse for a ready stance. "what is that, kid?" chris almost chokes on his drink from laughter and your face turns red with embarrassment. you try and swing at the ball quickly to get it over with but you miss. and to make matters worse, the club slipped out of your hands and you accidentally threw it all the way out into the field. this sends chris into a whole fit of laughter and you can't help but laugh with him after a while. after both of you calm down, chris grabs a club and comes up behind you. he grabs your hands and puts them on the club and lines it up with the golf ball. his chest is pressed against your back and you can feel his steady heartbeat. "you start just like this, ma." he says into your ear. your body is heating up and you can barely pay attention to what he's saying, he smirks at the fact. "you listening, y/n?" he says as his lips graze against your ear. "mhm" you manage to get out in a daze. He smiles at your flustered state before he moves both your arms and his to make a swing. he hits the ball perfectly and it goes so far you loose sight of it.

"nice hit" he says while tucking your loose hair behind your ear. its his turn now.

let's just say the whole rest of the night was filled with laughs and smiles. you ate chocolate strawberries and watched wall-e in the company of the sweetest man you knew. when the night came to an end, when he had to drop you off, he grabbed you before you could go into the house. "did you have fun?" he asks while dragging you to him slowly. "yeah, lots" you answer happily grabbing onto his jacket sleeves to pull him closer. he looks down at your hand on his sleeves and steps closer. "been smiling all night" he says looking down and admiring the same smile you’ve been wearing almost all night. "okay, well so have you!" you quip while laughing nervously. he pulled you all the way into him by your waist, your whole body pressed against his. his face was near inches away before he replies. "because being with you makes me happy" he says softly.

"same" you whisper looking at his lips. he takes the hint and kisses you gently. this is the love I've always wanted, you think to yourself as he kisses and holds you like something precious. he pulls back and his eyes travel your face like he is trying to embed it in his memory. you look away nervously at being ogled at but he grabs your chin and brings your gaze back to him. "good night, ma" he says pressing another soft kiss to your lips.

"goodnight" you smile at him for the last time tonight before heading inside.

My "My Inner Demons" overhaul

alright, since I'm bored- here's what I got so far.

I renamed Asch's kingdom to Phobos, in reference to the original term of Daemos (probably an aphmau 'sound it out' name like Ein and whatnot.) With Mars' moons. Phobos and Deimos. While the general species of Asch's kingdom are referred to as Daemos.

Appropriately, I gave the kingdom a family name. Dacite, a type of Volcanic rock. Asch Dacite, Rhal Dacite. ectect.

Backstory time:

Noi Barter. I gave him the backstory of "sole survivor" from a long dead and fallen land, the story of a late bloomer/ someone whose actually more powerful than the rest. He just has amnesia. The key item being the locket around his neck, changed from a lightning bolt. To a sun shape. Spending most of his days fighting for his food, he found strength in stealth and being quiet. Due to having little muscle mass compared to his future companions made it easy for him to sneak into Phobos. Being caught and eventually set up for Execution, Asch recruited him. Being the last addition and stuff. (Similar to the original story, but I put a bigger spin on it since we know very little of a majority of them.))

Leif and Pierce now come from very different kingdoms. Since.. an entire universe dedicated to one kingdom is weird.

Feng Leif, or just Leif appropriately is from a Chinese-inspired kingdom, exiled for assassination crimes, later hired by Asch the same way in canon. And leaning into another horned creature from the same culture, the Dragon. While his name was chosen by himself after seeing it somewhere. While knowing it correlates to wind, which I HC him being rather proficient in using it with magic. And instead of.. entirely insane maniac, he's definitely smarter than he appears. Not book smart, but very street smart and survival wise. The insanity is a choice for him. Instead of being soothed/ calmed by an E-girl over time. (/lh j)

(The rest of the designs are being worked on. I'll make full body posts later. )) Pierce Stone, making him originate from a Japanese-inspired kingdom. Y'know, with his kimono and whatnot, I'm leaning into my other culture fixation! Youkai. I made Pierce an Oni. A wanderer that eventually got hired like the rest, by Asch himself. How? I'm toying with the idea Pierce signed up for a tournament/ exhibition kind of event in Phobos. Recognized by Asch and eventually hired.

Rhys Wynn, (It's pronounced Reese, Aphmau.) is a scholar from Phobos. Someone finally from the same Kingdom as Asch. Designated by Lady Grandma to be an assistant to Asch. It's.. pretty straight forward with him, I'd say.

wait whats the big SH headcanon you aren't into? I love SH but haven't interacted with the fandom a ton

Thank you for asking!

The theory I can’t agree with is that Wayne is a sentient fungus colony occupying Sam’s body. I do agree that there’s something inhuman puppeteering Sam Wayne’s body, but there isn’t any clear textual evidence suggesting the something is fungal.

There’s a couple of supporting arguments people tend to make for Fungus Theory, but I find them weak and tenuous:

Wayne’s body is rotting at a fast pace. Fungus is a cause of decomposition. Therefore the body must be colonized by a fungus.

Fungus may be a cause of decomp, but it’s not the only cause. Many kinds of organisms contribute to decomposition — insects, scavenger animals, microbes, etc. — and fungus is not necessary to the process. I’m not completely ruling out the possibility that the rapid rot is caused by fungus, but in the absence of concrete evidence, there’s no reason to assume this has to be the case.

Sybil is helping Wayne in some unspecified way. Sybil specializes in folk medicine, which has potent magical effects in her hands. Sybil specifically uses chaga, a fungus, to make a mind-control tea. According to the homeopathic principle of “like cures like,” Sybil must be using chaga or a similar fungal ingredient to support the fungus in Wayne.

This argument might be more convincing if Sybil used fungal cures exclusively, but she doesn’t. In fact, chaga is the only fungal cure she is shown to cultivate or use. The castor beans she gives Doc come from a plant. She grows poison flowers in her tea nook. Even the unspecified blend she gives to Tabitha is herbal, not fungal. Also, one of the effects of the chaga is to make the drinker trust Sybil, even to the point of not registering information that makes her look bad. If Wayne is drinking the chaga, then shouldn’t he trust her? Why does he assume she would hurt an aged MC? It doesn’t make sense to assume Sybil’s giving him chaga.

Wayne zaps Reese with what appears to be a set of yellow tendrils slithering out of his wrist; there are yellow fractal networks in a couple of Reese’s paintings. Some fungi are fractal networks, some fungi conduct electricity. The thing in Wayne’s arm must be part of a fungal network!

I can think of something else that zaps people with electricity: lightning. I plan to elaborate on this more in a series of theory-posts, but suffice it to say that I find my theory about lightning to have more textual support than the fungus theory while requiring fewer assumptions. Occam’s Razor, baby!

Abby Howard tends to take inspiration for her monster designs from her study of evolutionary biology. Reese’s monster design is an excellent example of how biology influences Abby’s art: he is a chimera of several real animals, both living and extinct. It would only make sense for her to have based Wayne on something biological too — like fungi!

This makes sense to me as a meta-textual argument. But again, there’s no textual evidence that Wayne is fungal, so there’s no reason to accept that Abby took inspiration from fungi when designing Wayne.

Again, I plan to write up my own pet theory — which not only explains what Wayne is, but also helps explain Reese’s origins, the nature of the Seals, the influence the Scarlets had over the town’s past, and the parts MC and Tabitha have to play in the town’s future — someday soon. But I hope this post helped convince you that, despite Wayne’s sense of humor, he is not a Fun Guy. Have a good one!

[hellhoundmaggie]

I don't believe in Fungi Theory, but I think it'll go down something like this:

Except Wayne doesn't turn into a handsome, alive man. He just rapidly decomposes as the animating force leaves Sam's body. A tragic resolution, bittersweet at best.

I can only see the Wayne romance going one way, but I'm genuinely curious about what others think so:

Another teaser for a helicopter crash fic I'm not about to upload anytime soon but I am working on it concurrently with two other stories.

Tagged by @v88sy

It's been a quiet ride so far, at least as far as Olivia is concerned. Eddie hadn't tried to express any concern for her, and both Hen and Chimney could sense that she was trying hard to keep herself focused and centered. Captain Reese's voice’s broke through the tense silence of the ambulance. "Dispatch, this is Incident Command. What is the estimated time of arrival for the backup units?" "We have the two units from the 118 roughly 15 minutes away." Olivia immediately recognized the dispatcher's voice. It was Maddie Han, Evan's older sister, as steady and calm as ever. Outside of hearing her on the radio, she met the older woman in passing at various social events with the 118. "We need their ambulance unit redirected to the coordinates of Fire Rescue 1701, 2 miles southwest from Incident Command." Olivia exhaled sharply, her entire body tensing up. She immediately knew what this meant. And before Eddie could react to the call and respond, she was on the radio. "Dispatch, this is Firefighter-Paramedic Chambers with the 118, we are en route and redirecting." She gave Eddie a sideways glance as he nodded in acknowledgement. "Copy that. Be safe." "Tommy wasn't flying today. He was on call for Ground Support." Olivia was thinking out loud, looking out the window, her voice only audible to Eddie really, as Hen and Chimney bantered in the background. "You sound worried." Olivia shook her head, changing her once worried tone to something calmer, refusing to look at Eddie. "Lightning strike. Heat. Windy conditions. The prefect recipe for a…" "Fire tornado?" Chimney interrupted, "You think that's what we're facing?" "It's a very real possibility, Chim," Olivia offered, her voice calm and devoid of any emotion by this point. "If we're being redirected, it's because they got dangerously close. Or it got dangerously close to them due to the wind." "Don't worry, we'll get there as soon as we can," Hen offered a reassuring word. "I have faith in my team," Olivia simply stated as she turned from the window to look over her shoulder at Hen and Chimney. "I have faith in both of my teams." Eddie simply nodded, unable to look at Olivia as he drove, but he, just like Hen and Chimney, understood the significance of the sentiment expressed for her.

If you wanna do it, just tag me so I can see what you're sharing.

Considering how Ruidus was carved from a desert and how prevalent lightning powers/storms seem to be here I always assumed the Ruidian Glass was made like lightning glass (sand/beach struck by lightning) back when Predathos was sealed. But while making a post about that I actually googled it and APPARENTLY the Reese witherspoon movie is a big fat LIAR lmao

Real fulgurite (lightning glass) looks less like this: (VERY OBVIOUSLY HANDMADE. HOW DID I EVER FALL FOR THIS)

And more like this:

I mean. That's still cool as fuck actually it just doesn't match with how I imagined the Ruidian Glass. But also MAGIC LIGHTNING so who knows, it might still be it

[tabl3]

so

Kaz and Bree hate Reese the most out of the three main shifters (for obvious reasons)

Roman and Skylar equally despise each other (and they're almost copies of each other w the lightning/strength) bc of Decimation on her end and Roman hating her the most since she's simply the pinnacle of heroism

Chase has equal rivalries with both

and

ig Oliver and Riker would just fight by association???? they have no personal hate for each other or any of the others, Riker just loathes heroes bc of their dad and Oliver hates the shifters for what they've done

but that doesn't even matter bc Riker can't actually fight him unless he wants to get murderized by Mr. Terror lol

304 - American Psycho

Time to get controversh with with one of the most argued about films of the century, 2000's American Psycho. Based on Bret Easton Ellis' lightning rod novel, the film passed through multiple directors before landing in the inspired hands of Mary Harron. The independent director struck the right satirical note on Ellis' difficult blend of consumerism and masculinity, and found a flawless muse as the titular psycho Patrick Bateman in Christian Bale. But the film's sex, violence, and dark humor incited its own controversies and was too much for the Academy despite the praise for Bale's performance.

This episode, we talk about the film as a launchpad for Bale's adult career and how his lesser known status at the time almost lost him the role. We also talk about Bateman's musical obsessions, the other casting choices for Bateman, and Reese Witherspoon joins our Six Timers Club.

Topics also include the Broadway musical version, the 2000 Sundance Film Festival, and 2000 Best Actor.

Mission Log

Team: Nate (lead), Reese, Matt, Kay, Sky

Objective: Interrogation, gathering intel

Status: New mission

Report: Team must report to Kennedy for full briefing.

Word Count: 542

Taglist (ask to be +/-): @snapdragons-sunshine

Read the whole scene under the cut!

Whatever new mission Kennedy had planned for them, Nate was not looking forward to hearing it. His team was already feeling defeated after watching coverage of the incident all week.

News of the battle that broke out in the heart of Chicago spread like wildfire. Buildings burned, streets flooded, structures collapsed — damage all caused by paragon hands — and the public was ready to blame every paragon in sight.

To humans, paragon were all the same.

Despite the low morale, Nate and Reese rounded up the team in an attempt to get back on track. It was better than doing nothing. They had to push back against the fear that was building.

Otherwise, Nate's rage would consume him like a flame.

Nate knocked on the basement door, unsurprised when no one answered. Kay probably couldn't hear him. He opened the door and shuffled down the steps.

Kay was hunched over at her desk, brow furrowed in concentration as she worked on an elaborate coal sketch. A young girl with light brown skin and curly black hair stood with her arms outstretched, the power of lightning following her every command. Kay worked diligently to color and shape the dark clouds surrounding her. Nate could see the resemblence in the face Kay sketched.

Her own eyes staring back at her.

"Working on a new project?" Nate asked casually.

Kay didn't look up. "Yeah."

The spark that normally filled her eyes when she worked on a piece was gone. Dull clouds filled her big brown eyes.

Nate leaned against the door frame and crossed his arms. "How are you holding up?"

Kay put down her coal pencil. The clouds cleared away as she thought about the answer to Nate's question for the first time since watching the reports of the incident.

And the protests.

"How do you do it?" Kay shot back suddenly.

Nate's brow furrowed. "Do what?"

"How do you keep fighting? Day in and day out? Knowing that they don't give a fuck about you? Humans can't tell the difference between me or you or them…"

Kay's voice faded as she held Nate's gaze. She waited, and Nate knew that she was hoping he would say some magic phrase or perfect line that would make everything okay.

But all Nate had was hope.

"Because I don't have a choice."

"Doesn't it make you angry, though?" Kay grit her teeth. A zap of lightning sparked between her fingers. "Humans can walk through this life without having to lift a fucking finger. No one asks them to justify why they walk down a certain street or go to a certain restaraunt or wear long sleeves on a warm day."

Kay's eyes shifted down as she gently rubbed the lightning bolt tattoo emblazoned on her skin. A tattoo made of energy she couldn't erase if she tried.

"Yeah," Nate said. "It does make me angry. It makes me angry that I have to worry who sees my tattoo. It makes me angry that even using my fire element makes me a target. A freak. A danger to society. It makes me angry that all humans ever see from me is a threat. But that anger is your answer."

"The answer to what?"

"The reason I keep fighting."
