 A Revolution in Steel Shopping:Steeloncall

In the ever-evolving world of construction and manufacturing, the importance of high-quality steel cannot be overstated. From towering skyscrapers to intricate machinery, steel serves as the backbone of countless projects, providing strength, durability, and reliability. However, procuring the right steel products can often be a daunting and time-consuming task, fraught with challenges such as fluctuating prices, inconsistent quality, and unreliable suppliers.

every time someone claims to be a monsterfucker but they mean orcs with abs and not many-limbed shapeless forms crunching bones under the stairs another star falls from heaven

Ain't she beautiful? Kumba is still one of the most beautiful roller coaster's in the US, in my opinion. There are not many coasters in the world with a vertical loop AROUND the rides very own lift hill! This loop is one of the SEVEN inversions throughout the whole ride!

For the au ask game!

OKAY I wanted specifically to get to the pokemon au from the ask you sent, it's been cooking a bit so it's time to see what comes out of the oven, so... @azol-otl ty for the ask!

Crossover au's are all about the fused worldbuilding for me and speculating on how characters from universe A would fit into universe B heehee hoohoo - and for Batfam especially it's fun to think about the equivalent of their roles as vigilantes! What kind of people have the same level of celebrity, the same sideways seeking of justice?

Naturally this leads you to the gym leaders because a) it's the most fun and b) they are like. Quasi-law enforcement/educators/professional athletes depending on how you try to translate the innate child's perspective on the pokemon universe into something that makes sense as an adult lol ilu pokemon. [insert 'compels me though' gif here]

SO with this in mind, here's 5 fun facts (that are mostly backstory lmao) from a jaytim pokemon au I would write

I'm deeply ill about pokemon so this one goes under the cut lol:

Jason Todd used to be the Champion. He won the role after Dick Grayson quit a year or two before (Dick had been getting older and chafing under the League rules - meaning he'd been chafing under how Bruce ran the League) and was a fierce competitor who didn't believe in going easy on anyone. His Houndoom was a force to be reckoned with, and despite running a mostly Dark-type team, his Honchkrow cleaned up anyone thinking their Fighting-types could sweep. He looked after the League and Gotham with a cocky, self-assured attitude and the win record to back it up. .

Jason disappeared suddenly at the age of 15. Many assumed him dead, after a Rocket (Or whatever Gotham themed gang name we want to go with lol could be Team Joker) bombing in the area he'd last been seen, but he's officially declared missing. Bruce Wayne took back the duties of interim Champion as he once did for Dick Grayson, but he's not quite the mentor he once was. It's obvious he's grieving, and that he doesn't want to mentor any more twelve year olds. Dick signed up to be a Gym Leader shortly after this, returning from his trip about a year early to help out in the chaos following Jason's disappearance. .

Enter Tim Drake. Tim's gym challenge wasn't all that interesting in the circuit at first; he had a rocky start and had to retake a few gym challenges. He wasn't exactly sweeping on his first try every time like Jason had done. He didn't have the meteoric rise that caught the Champion's attention early, didn't get one-on-one mentorship or face-to-face meetings, cautionary advice and congratulations all rolled into one from Bruce Wayne himself - but Tim had patience and grit, and he paid attention. He was gunning for the Championship, and it wasn't just so he could prove himself. Team Rocket/Joker was still out there, and Bruce needed all the help he could get. He was always better for Gotham when he had a Robin. .

Dick had been nicknamed Robin for his all-Flying-type team and especially his Natu-then-Xatu; Jason followed up with his Murkrow-then-Honchkrow; Tim's Rookidee was one among many (Robin-esque pokemon were popularized by Dick and the trend remains through Tim's day) so he wasn't considered a possible Robin successor until it was a Corvisquire and he was about to face Dick Grayson himself, a badge away from Victory Road. By then, Tim and his team were a well-oiled machine (he runs mostly Steel-types lol but also Normal-types for the unexpected adaptability and the 'underestimate my rattata i dare you it's in the top peRCENTAGE--' of it all. FEAR.), and his loss-record had all but frozen while his win-record ticked higher and higher. .

Shit finally goes down about three years after Tim has become Champion and all but bullied Bruce into mentoring him (he basically said 'if you don't watch me, i'll go find Team Rocket/Joker on my own' and triggers all of Bruce's child endangerment traumas simultaneously) and the mysterious Rocket/Joker leader Red Hood shows up, bringing the gang out of the shadows in pursuit of a hidden agenda. Identity shenanigans and "wait is that a Houndoom? But he's only been using Ghost-types, it CAN'T be..." and heel-face turns abound. .

(BONUS FACT: Something something, Jason went into deep cover with Looker or whoever he is, that Interpol guy from X & Y (WAIT. LOOKER MIGHT ACTUALLY BE TALIA AL GHUL IN THIS AU HOHOHO), infiltrating the Rocket/Joker gang and going public as Red Hood is the first step in the last phase of the sting. Cue a million tense Jaytim interactions in which Tim is legitimately trying to take Red Hood down and Jason desperately tries to shake him so that he doesn't do anything that forces Jason to blow his cover. There is at least one 'tugged into a tight space to hide them both from the actual bad guys, "wait, did you just HELP me...?" "Think whatever you want, babybird"' interaction because I am a slut for the first sprinkles of a redemption arc that is rife with UST fufufu)

started playing Apollo Justice the other day, as i've always really enjoyed ace attorney but i have yet to actually experience apollo's games at all (i know vague spoilers, given fanfic, but not specifics) and oh BOY

so first off: i Love Apollo. like i knew that he was gonna be the new protagonist and i was anticipating lowkey hating him because he's not phoenix but like. this man. he's so cute. his first trial and 90% of his dialogue is just him talking about his Chords of Steel™ (side note i now understand why so many people headcanon him as trans. he is so queer-coded)

second: phoenix is. so fuckin mysterious?? he lies and bluffs and explains exactly nothing to apollo at all. like he just basically takes over the trial and pulls shit out of his ass and playing apollo just feels like im a spectator to this whole thing (im hoping apollo actually gets a chance to shine later? i love phoenix and all but like. man please let apollo try)

thinking about it though, it does make sense?? like a ton of phoenix's dialogue in the early games is him talking in his head about shit, and outwardly he does come off as semi-competent. like apollo's pov is what people actually view phoenix as, and so his reputation makes so much more sense

anyway ive only completed the starter trial and ive just started the second so ill probably have more to add later

[willowve01]

The fact that I spent almost 10 hours on this— within a span of two days— is underwhelming XD

I honestly didn’t have the energy to put a background in.

But anyways, here’s some more ep. 8 Raine.

[deusluxuria]

had a dream last night that there was a live-action steel ball run movie that actually slapped. all the characters were well-represented (johnny was played by an actual wheelchair user, ambulatory because of the pre-injury scenes, but basically someone who actually knows the social model of disability). anyway it was so perfect that, when i finally watched it during a screening on my birthday (where there were other people because i actually had friends lmao) i was SCREAMING during some parts because the emotions were high
