"Perth Gunner Sprays Axis Sub," Ottawa Citizen. May 25, 1943. Page 2. ---- Ratings of H.M.C.S. Regina sprayed an Axis submarine's conning tower and after gun with 240 rounds of Oerlikon bullets. With the other Oerlikon, they shared honors in keeping such a concentrated fire on the sub's conning tower that its resistance was kept to a minimum. The U-boat's deck officers and gun crew were killed with Regina's small arms fire. Strapped to the gun is A.B. Verne Cavanagh, R.C.N.V.R., of Perth, Ont. His team mate is A.B. Byron Nodding, R.C.N.V.R., of Saint John, N.B. - (R.C.N. photo.)

two years of new fast & furious fic recs!

for a couple years, i have read every single new fic posted to the fast & furious tag on ao3. i wanted to just list my favorites from 2024, but i didn't do this last year and there were some bangers posted in 2023, too. i'm not an arbiter of taste or anything. i just liked these.

in no particular order:

consider the hairpin turn - 061828 [dom/brian] this is great. fourth-movie era, which is always fun. dom's reconciling brian with what he remembers of spilner. his voice and internal monologue are just perfect.

trouble's always gonna find you, baby (but so am i) - angelica_barnes [dom/brian] this one's brand spanking new. and just really good, i think. does the all-consuming love thing and it still feels right and real.

take me down (and keep on going) - anon [dom/brian] pain kink. nice. hot. very fun subby brian, kept in character.

a different kind of debt - anon [dom/brian] it's piss kink. it's good piss kink. why not?

i will be good as long as you want me - cuupid [dom/brian] letty's back. brian goes off the rails. this is such a fun take on him. the ending is so good.

rumble - cuupid [dom/brian] loooove washed-up divorced loser brian creeping on teenage dom. just everything about this one.

other side of twice (let's not do that again) - d__T [dom/letty] lettyyyyy. it's a post-f7 fic. she chains dom up; he loves it. she remembers not remembering.

drug lust - atlantisairlock [letty/cipher] fantastic hot hate sex on the submarine. unrequited lettymia.

hold tight, we're in for nasty weather - metalflowers [letty/mia] post-first movie. mia cuts her hair off and burns the house down. love that for her.

kaki no tane - bazemayonnaise [han/deckard shaw] tags say it all. "cockblocked by the male ego," "handy in a sportscar because what's more masculine than that?"

when your name was everywhere - kittycatthetacodemon [hobbs/shaw] shaw gets hit by a witch curse. it's not even really a crackfic. just read it.

storm chaser - miss_kitty [ofc-centric] this is the absolute best possible execution of an extended metaphor that could very easily have been trite and unreadable. that's all i can say. nothing about this should work and the vast majority of it does. (you're tracking down the family.)

and impossible not to mention despite not technically being fic:

fast & fruity - mutantmeatmachine (the whole series), plus wanna go for a ride? and twelve thirty the hottest art, everyone owes a debt to crashie. dom's ass is so fat in all of these. it is brill

Three sailors enjoying drinks on leave. The man on the right is Fred Gwynne, a radioman on the submarine chaser USS Manville (PC-581). He would go on to play Herman Munster in the 1960's.

[bobdylanslesbianlover]

Ok this is a Slightly more coherant version of this post. In which I go (as I remember, drunkenly) insane about an almost forgotten TV show. BBC's Atlantis (2013). But now with pictures!

once again if you know it I'm in love with you and kissing you on the lips.

Spoiler warning if you care abt that, but its only 2 series, watch it this afternoon and come back :D

Ok this show is a blatent Merlin profit chaser and apparently had alot of crossover of crew but I have no source for this. There are alot of comparison that can be drawn.

First for all my Trekkie pals, Alexander Siddig who is Julian Bashir in DS9 plays King Minos. He is beareded, a wife guy, kinda a dilf. pop off.

The second, even for famous face is a very young Anya Taylor Joy. Yeah, ANYA TAYLOR JOY is bald in this? she plays Cassandra the cursed prophet. She is phenomenal, but you have to stick through to season two.

they are the two who stick out to me but take the time to look at the IMDB and you will see some one you know.

In the modern day, Jason (yeah, as in of the Arognaut), the protaganist of the show, pilots a one-man submarine to investigate a deep sea disturbance that resulted in the disappearance of his father when he was a child. When he discovers the location, the submarine begins to fail and he wakes up on the shores of the kingdom of Atlantis He is given shelter by a couple of locals: Pythagoras Herculse

Along the way, they pick up allies including Medusa, a palace maid; Ariadne, daughter of the King and heir to the throne; and a mysterious Oracle. - abridged form wikipedia

All of that in the first paragraph happens in THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF THE FIRST EPISODE. This summary leaves out in that 10 mins he runs naked across a beach, steals some clothes from fishermen, fights a two headed dragon, and is chased by Palace Gards.

This show is a wild, nonstop, rollacoaster.

If I havent revolted any classistis all ready, or convinced you to watch it let me hit you with the kicker. CANNON GAY RELATIONSHIP. and it is the friends to lovers, betrayal to lovers arc all you tumblrinas love so much. Between Pythagoras and Icarus.

Pythagoras and Icarus.

This isn't even the scene where they get together, Pythagoras - left, Icarus - right

The payoff is not till the last episode but the build up is lengthy, obvious and worth it. and as I said in my first post, more than you Merlin bitches got.

So. Go and watch this trainwreck, rollacoaster of a show and scream at the blattent shitting on greek myths that is oh so infuriating and a whole lot of fun.

watch and enjoy, i beg you.

This is actually my first year being back on tumblr while I've been doing this, so!!! IT'S TIME FOR THE CHIBSAWARDS!!!! Which essentially something me and my friends do at the end of the year, compiling things we liked about media we watched/read/played in that year. Surprising nobody there's like 7 different awards that go to DetCo.

(Under the cut are the Honorable Mentions that didn't make it into this years Chibsawards)

-Boy Most Likely To Get Himself Killed If It Weren't For Plot Armor (Conan Edogawa/Shinichi Kudo)

This didn't make the cut because he's already Blorbo Of The Year for the 4th year in a row so I didn't want to put him on here twice. (Technically 4 times because he's on the cover of DetCo's manga as well as the poster for Black Iron Submarine.) This award was mainly because I watched Black Iron Submarine last week and was just, SHOCKED, at this boy's reaction to something later in the movie. He worries me.

-Game That Baby Chibs Would Have Loved (The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap)

Thanks to Nintendo's official GBA Emulator app on the Nintendo Switch, and my friend who kindly lets me be on his NSO Family Plan, I was able to play Minish Cap earlier this year! It was a delight the whole way through, and it makes me a little sad that I didn't know this game existed back when I had my GBA as a kid, because I know kid me would have loved it to bits.

-Best Comedy Manga (Smoking Behind the Supermarket with You)

You'll notice the character named Sasaki who won the "Chibsbait" award? He's one of the main characters of this manga. He's really cute I cannot resist a middle aged easy flustered salaryman.

-Best Pokemon (Appletun & Mabosstiff)

Originally this was going to just be for Mabosstiff, but I can never forget Tagi the Appletun from my SWSH playthrough.

-Most Rewatched Movie (Trigun Badlands Rumble)

I've watched this movie 3 seperate times this year, so that's why it gets this award.

-Most Atmospheric Final Boss (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom)

OOOOOOOOO THAT FINAL BOSS WAS SO PRETTY. But putting a screenshot of it in this would spoil my friends who haven't finished TotK, and also it just wasn't cool enough of a category to make the cut.

-Most Anticipated Game (Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth)

Yes this is a TGA category. Yes it didn't win. Yes it won in my heart.

-Ugly Bastard Who's Invaded My Thoughts (Irish)

Most of my DetCo followers and mutuals should know who this is, but for those of my followers and mutuals who aren't into DetCo, he's from the 13th movie "The Raven Chaser". He's ugly he's awful, he kicked the shit out of Conan, but yknow he had a change of heart at the end and that was apparently enough to forgive everything he did in the whole past 15 minutes of the movie. I've seen this movie multiple times since 2019 when I first watched it, but I've been thinking about him the most this year I think. (Which is funny bc I haven't rewatched it at all this year. It's mainly bc he was mentioned in Movie 26 and I've seen fanart of him with Curacao and Pinga.)

Launched on the 16 April, 1944, the USS Pueblo was a Banner-class environmental research ship that would later become the star of one of the most controversial incidents of the Cold War. In 1967, the US Navy converted the mothballed cargo ship into a "spy ship" equipped with surveillance equipment, and later armed. Sent on patrol off the North Korean coast, the Pueblo would be harassed by a North Korean submarine, 2 North Korean fishing boats, and finally a submarine chaser. This submarine chaser would challenge the Pueblo, the Pueblo attempted to retreat, but was chased down by the craft, which was later joined by four torpedo boats, another submarine chaser, and two MiG-21s. After hours of evasion, the North Korean vessels would open fire on the Pueblo, who's crew began destroying sensitive documents. There are a couple oddities I'll bring up here. There is much dispute as to whether or not the Pueblo was actually in North Korean waters at the time of the incident, with North Korea obviously insisting she was, while the US vehemently opposes this idea. Secondly, the Pueblo was promised air cover after this incident began to unfold, but it never arrived. There were no aircraft ready to sortie, and it would be hours before any were in the air. The Pueblo would eventually be forced to stop, and escorted towards North Korea. She would be boarded and the crew taken hostage. The USS Pueblo would be taken into North Korean port, where she would remain to this day. She was reportedly converted into a museum ship. She is the only active commission US Navy vessel currently held hostage by another country. This was an incredibly tense moment within the Cold War. (Also I'm from Pueblo, so hometown bias.)

Gotchard is lighter and softer.

That submarine monster is a rapist.

I seriously did not understand Japanese’ standard for children show.

Aside from Ichinose’s hyperactivity, this episode was not bad.

When was the last time a Main Rider used Rider Kick three episodes in a row? They usually just did it on the first episode and then kept it for special occasions.

When was the last time a Main Rider could cook and do it on screen?

I hoped there was scene where Ichinose fed his fellow alchemists his cooking.

I hoped Tsuruhara could become a Rider in the future. I wanted a Rider with his personality.

Spanner reminded me of Mashin Chaser.

For some reason, he gave me a feeling that he was out of place.

Maybe because his armour looked like something made in a garage from parts picked up from a junkyard.

Gotchard on the other hand, looked like a shiny, sleek car.

Page 20. ---- [Top Left]: MOVING quickly away from the depth charge explosion, photo shows one of Canada's newest fighting ships, a Fairmile. These speedy sub-chasers are doing excellent work of patrolling coasts and rivers threatened by enemy submarines.

[Top Right]: THIS dramatic photo shows anti-aircraft gunners on board a corvette of the Royal Canadian Navy. Once a ship gets into waters where an air attack may be expected these guns are manned continuously, for a bomber might swoop down out of the sun

[Bottom right]: What does he say? The signalman is probably reading a flag hoist from the convoy commodore about an alteration of coursse. Signals is one of the most interesting branches of the service. Trained ratings handle all the coding and decoding.
