Some gifs from the Mortal Kombat: Conquest episode In Kold Blood (S01 E18). An interesting episode near the series' end in which Kung Lao, Taja, and Siro find themselves trying to rid Earthrealm of "Empress Kreeya" and her hive-born hot chick army before they become too large a force to be opposed. Meanwhile, Kreeya plans to form an alliance with the Zaterrans (and mate with Reptile to keep replenishing her forces).
Some interesting lore and politics are introduced, and this episode also featured what I believe is MK's first canon queer couple in Kiri and Ankha. (I have plans to do a separate post on them, featuring gifs from both of their appearances on the show and highlighting their purpose and impact.)

Marbled Monday
This week's Marbled Monday is a twofer! This publication is a collection of issues of the Homeopathic Medical Reporter/Milwaukee Homeopathic Medical Reporter from the year 1848. The journal was published and edited by Tracy & Douglas, Homeopathic Physicians. Their office was "on Spring Street, West side of the river, in Goodall's Block, up stairs." Unfortunately that's about all we know about them!
The binding is interesting, with a Spanish Wave marbled pattern on the book itself and a French Curl pattern on the inside of the clamshell box it is housed in. The box is in much better condition than the book inside, which suggests that the box was made at a later date to protect the book.
This publication was acquired with the memorial fund of Delia G. Ovitz, who was a librarian at UWM's predecessor institutions, the Wisconsin State Normal School and Wisconsin State Teacher's College, from 1901-1944.

For lark and sel at the Merlin academy
Oooh! I'll do my best! I really hope you enjoy it! Thanks for requesting!
Scenario: A longtime rivalry between the two young boys at the Merlin Academy comes to an end with Selwyn Kane being named Nicholas Davis' Kingsmage.
Merlin Academy- Lark and Sel
Lark irritated Sel. Plain and simple.
To be fair, most people irritated Sel, but Lark just really knew how to push his buttons.
Maybe the animosity stemmed from the fact that they’ve been pinned against each other since the day Sel arrived at the academy.
~~~
Selwyn Kane was a prodigy. The best of his generation. Just like his mother, Natasia.
None of the other Merlins could even dream of matching his skill level…except Lark.
Larkin Douglas was the only Merlin who could hold his own against Selwyn. But even though this fact remained true, Sel still managed to beat him in every battle.
No matter the challenge, Sel won. Not to be unexpected considering he was trained by one of the most powerful Merlins of the previous generation, Issac Sorensen.
Which is why today’s duel for a place at the side of the Order’s future king would be no different. Sel would be Nick Davis’ Kingsmage.
~~~
“In this closing battle, Selwyn Kane and Larkin Douglas will compete to be named Kingsmage.” Gillian announces, while walking to the middle of the arena, where Lark stands in the right corner with Selwyn opposite him in the left corner.
Gillian continues, “Throughout this tournament, our two candidates have been observed based on their capabilities in mesmerization, casting, and aether manipulation.”
“Today, the top two ranked Merlins will duel it out in this arena to assess strength." Gillian looks intensely at the crowd before shifting her gaze to the table of the Regents, "Their individual performances in the other three categories alongside this one will be considered to determine the final result."
At that, Gillian looks to both Sel and Lark purposefully, "Without further ado, let the battle begin."
~~~
The fight was most definitely entertaining to watch. Mostly because of Sel.
Lark barely managed to land a hit on him throughout the entire battle. Each time he would lunge, Selwyn had already moved out of reach. He was agile and limber, something Lark had learned but not yet mastered.
Sel utilized aether with precision and intent. If he wanted to land a hit, then he did, with zero difficulty at that. Lark's defenses were useless against Selwyn.
Lark spent more time on the ground from Sel's attacks than he did actually fighting.
Lark was an excellent fighter. In training, he defeated nearly all of his opponents...that weren't Sel.
And one thing was evident in the fight- Selwyn had a mission that he intended to fulfill.
No one, not even Larkin Douglas, would stop him from satisfying what he set out to do.
~~~
It wasn't unsurprising when Sel won the tournament.
Not only did he excel in the other categories, but he completely annihilated Larkin in the final battle.
After quieting down the anxiously awaiting crowd, Martin Davis speaks, "After careful consideration, a decision has been made." He stops to hold up Selwyn's hand, "Selwyn Emrys Kane has been selected to be the Kingsmage of my son, Nicholas Martin Davis, Scion of King Arthur Pendragon, first-ranked. He will be oathed immediately following the end of this ceremony.”
Sel did it. The very role he worked himself strenuously to achieve was his. He felt...
"Ye complete and utter disappointment, Larkin! All this training and for what? Ye to end up in second place? Because of a Kane at that?" Calum Douglas shouts, clearly angered by his son's loss. He stomps over to Lark and practically drags him off stage.
Before he disappears completely from sight, Lark spares a glance at Selwyn, who was already staring intently at him.
For the first time since the two met, Sel felt empathy towards Lark.
The two were no longer rivals. One had won and the other had loss, but even still, they both were the two greatest Merlins of their respective generation.
Only Larkin's father didn't see it that way.

446. Douglas Niles and Tracy Hickman - DL11: Dragons of Glory (1986)
A unique addition to the Dragonlance series of modules, this eleventh entry in the series is not really a continuation of the adventure of our gang of mismatched heroes but a parallel board game. Similarly to the recent fifth edition "Warriors of Krynn" board game that was supposed to be played in conjunction with the Shadow of the Dragon Queen campaign, this entry is actually a board game that is supposed to determine how the wider War of the Lance is going.
It's interesting that we would get this game in parallel to the already existing Battlesystem wargame, but Dragons of Glory is supposed to determine the war at an even larger scale, at the scale of the whole continent, with players moving whole armies around the map instead of being a skirmish battle.
In fact you could play Dragonlance at three levels, the micro level of the roleplaying adventure, a middle level of Battlesystem local battles and a macro level where you would use this game to determine positions of whole armies and war advancement across the continent of Ansalon. If, for example, your roleplaying party happens to be in some location where this game determines there is an active Dragon Army, this should then influence the micro roleplaying action. For this reason you get a massive map and a load of counters bundled with this set as well as rules for this board game. Not sure if anyone actually used this as it seems hard to manage as well as demanding that you get your friends together for yet another game!

Gifs from the Mortal Kombat Conquest episode “Cold Reality” (S01 E03).
Lao, Siro, and Taja return to Zhu Zin following the events of the pilot episode(s). Stepping into their new shared home, the old Reyland Imports Trading Post, Taja is immediately attacked by a Lin Kuei warrior. Siro and Lao defeat him, but he takes his own life rather than submit to Siro's interrogation.
As it turns out, Shang Tsung enlisted the Lin Kuei's help in stealing a powerful relic that was in the recently deceased Baron's possession. He intends to kill two birds with one stone by getting the Lin Kuei to not only steal this relic for him, but take care of Kung Lao as well, as he has since moved into the Baron's old abode.
Following multiple failures to secure this relic (a crystal that can be used to open a portal to anywhere, at anytime) the Lin Kuei sends the newly minted Sub-Zero. He fails, but only barely, as it takes Siro, Taja, and Lao triple teaming him to wear him out (combined with him overusing his fledgling magic skills). And it's Raiden's appearance that ultimately scares him off, rather than true defeat.
One of the better episodes for several reasons. JJ Perry is there so the action is great, it brought both Sub-Zero and the Lin Kuei into Conquest's universe, and also introduced a Very Important Item ™ into the mix, as “the crystal” would resurface as a plot device down the line.
This was also one of the versions of MK canon whose backstory for the Lin Kuei was that they bolstered their numbers with kidnapped children—this universe's Sub-Zero is later confirmed to be one of them. (As the show was set during the Great Kung Lao's heyday, he's not Bi-Han nor Kuai Liang. Given that his sister's name was Lisa, he's probably a Dave or a Bob or something. Or both. Davebob Sub-Zero. It's on his driver's license, trust me.)

What I hope we get from book 3 of Legendborn:
More Nick and Breenick content: From the main cast of characters Nick is the one we know the least about so I really hope that there is going to be some insight into his character. Also, Bree and Nick had so little scenes in Bloodmarked😭
I really liked the balcony chapter when Sel and Nick talked in Welsh to each other, so I hope we get more scenes with them talking in Welsh. Tbh I just want more moments in which two or more characters hold conversations in Welsh. (I'm a language freak and currently obssesed with Welsh, so yeah)
More Lark and him and William becoming boyfriends: Lark is an absolute sweetheart and he seems to be quite underappreciated by the fandom.
Nick and Alice friendship: I think they would get along really well. If there are actually going to be Nick pov chapters, I hope him, Alice, Lark and Will become a friend group (similar to what we got in Bloodmaked with Bree, Alice, Will and Sel).
I hope we (and also Bree) actually get to know the other scions and that Bree reunites the Round Table. Also, I want to know what the scion of Kay's abilities are.
What actually happened in Arthur's and the knights' time.
More information about Rootcraft.
And, of course, more information about the Morgaines. Also, I remember I've seen an interesting theory about Nick and the Morgaines and if it turns out to be true... well that would be really cool.
#i was so disappointed with bloodmarked#i thought we would be getting bree and co searching for nick and her trying to get all of the scions together and discovering her powers et#anyway while legendborn was too fast paced and had a lot of information crammed in#bloodmarked suffered from the opposite imo#i hope tracy deonn actually finds the balance with oathbound#legendborn#oathbound#bree matthews#nick davis#breenick#selwyn kane#william sitterson#alice chen#larkin douglas

thoughts and opinions on bree's birthday gifts!!!!
[spoilers for legendborn and bloodmarked, read at your own caution ;)] it's been long since i got to do long ass posts hehe i'm back in the game yall
first of all, happy birthday bree!!!! (real footage of me making cakes)
starting off strong with alice chen;
that's so cute?? and two gifts!! bree gonna keep that gift card close to her heart!! like common we all know they are book besties like awwieee so cuteee!! and tickets to eras tour?? keep up with the spoiling your bestie i love you alice!!
then we have edwin matthews;
this is so him tho, ofc he's gonna take care of his lil girl for the winters. that winter coat is gonna be very handy on the run. and bless his soul i hope he doesn't have to find out what the battle is-
our golden boy, nicholas martin davis;
that is so thoughtful tho?? and it's so cute he had it handmade like damn dude, and with her initials too. and what did you say about late-night sword training sessions you mean they trained whennnnnn we have been robbed????
our favorite sorcerer, selwyn emyrs kane;
the coupon?? that is so fucking hilarious, imagine selwyn drawing that coupon and smiling to himself like "ahh the perfect joke" comon this is so cute and i bet bree loved it. and the rose?? got me giggling and shit like dude i had headcanoned something like this as like a ring during bree's college trips but comon a rose is so much better?? ahhhhhhhh I'm in looooooveee say what you want this is so cute mann (and the rose kinda reminded me of the rose in tracy's insta story?? is this something or am i too obsessed??)
our rootcrafting companion, mariah;
lmaoo she is not wrong about the reasons tho. bree definitely needs that spa day. maybe add in a braiding session too. she needs those curls fresh and on for the newest adventure.
the cutest legendborn!! greer taylor;
oh my gosh that is so cool bree in training gear yalls I'm so pumped for bree's 1v1 fights with anyone honestly like my oh my!! good job greer!!
our deadliest softboy, william sitterson;
william is a tea guy for sure, ofc his birthday treat is at a teahouse!! spending the day enjoying william's favorite tea and maybe a lil bit of teasing on both sides?? what will be the treats tho him baking his favorite biscuits or a luncheon with his king, i say bothhh
now there are a two people that i really wanted to see;
larkin douglas; yes he hasn't been around in bloodmarked too but comon even he would know sometime from William hehe about bree's birthday what would he gift her?? he did gift her those leather gauntlets, an updraged version of them?? metal gauntlets?? now if bree has her powers in control ofc she doesn't need the gauntlets but it could be a gesture of trust, for the old days sake
valec; like comon i do think he'd just give her a chocolate or a life advice and move on, but given that he has taken a liking to her and has become very protective (as his baby sister okay guys he's not in love) he might offer something else. his knowledge maybe, he has been around for 200 years you bet he has a lot to tell. or like he could answer three questions she wants the answers to, we all know our bree is best at questioning everything.
my thoughts??
can the order of how the people are placed have any correspondence to how events have passed or any foreshadowing to what could happen?? because i am the type of person who likes to order things like that; so if this is foreshadowing, because for the past events we need to put sel after alice and all that yk, does this mean we are going to start oathbound with a different pov?? because alice and edwin are shown first so it is possible oathbound can start from the new pov (either nick or selwyn)
nick giving bree a scabbard, foreshadowing?? i still have to read on arthuriana more, so i can't say for sure but please enlighten me is this related to the legend. all i know is that excalibur's scabbard was gone which is why arthur fell in camlamn. so that means nick giving bree could potentially symbolize him protecting her?? but from what?? selwyn?? shadow king?? who??
also, from the whole order apart from the found family, only greer is mentioned. now i was assuming that sarah will be in charge now after tor has been "betrayed" aka kicked out of gc. so if greer is mentioned does this mean greer will be in charge?? but aren't they kinda young in the whole order, like young as in new?? and if they are in charge, then what will sarah do because by the order of lines sarah should be after tor, right??
and if this order of names thing is correct, we will be seeing mariah yayy but William is last, so is this for the whole book or like the first half?? because there's no valec no lark (my babies i wanted to see themmm??)
or maybe im just reading too much into this
#i am so happy tho#keep dropping crumbs for us tracy#just five momnths more and oathbound will be here#im scared and excited#the legendborn cycle#legendborn#bloodmarked#oathbound#tracy deonn#legendborn cycle#briana matthews#bree matthews#team bree#selwyn kane#selwyn emrys kane#team sel#alice chen#william sitterson#nick davis#greer taylor#valechaz#larkin douglas

Can do lark and William sel and Bree on double date
Fun fun funnnn!!!! I hope you enjoy! Thanks for requesting!
Scenario: Our two beloved ships go on a double date to the state fair!!
Double Fair Date! - Sel x Bree & Lark x William
Bree's POV
"Are y'all ready to have an absolute blast at the fair?" I ask, pumped for the day ahead.
"I sure am, Bree! What about you, Lark?" William playfully nudges his boyfriend sitting next to him.
Larkin smiles lovingly back at Will and responds, "Of course. I've never been to a fair before."
We're all in the car, with Sel driving and me up front beside him as his passenger princess. Will and Lark are in the backseat.
Today, we are going to the state fair as a double date. Fun, right? Will, Lark, and I are very excited...and Selwyn is Selwyn. He's happy in his own way.
"And how are ye feeling, Kane?" Lark questions Sel.
Sel glances at him through the rearview window, not unkindly (growth!). "I'm ecstatic. Can't you tell?"
Lark snorts, "No. I really can't. Ye always seem to have the same blank look on your face."
Will and I laugh at that while Sel glares at Larkin. "You know, I think I'd look a little happier if you weren't in attendance, but alas, most of my wishes never end up being granted. It's tragic, really."
....so maybe I laughed a little harder at that, but can you blame me? My boyfriend was pretty funny.
~~~ TIME SKIP ~~~
At the fair
"Alright, beautiful people, which activity should we tackle first? Food, games, or rides?" William asks, surveying our group.
I raise my hand. "I vote for rides first! I really wanted to ride that one where you stand against the wall and get spun around...I think it's called The Gavitron....oh, and I want to go on the Ferriswheel!"
(Just in case, you've never heard of the Gavitron- here's some pictures to envision it!)
Selwyn nods his head at my suggestion. "Let's do that. William, where can we find this ride on the map?"
Will opens up the map, focusing intently on Sel's request.
Lark frowns, jokingly, "I didn't even get to vote."
Will looks at him apologetically, "I'm sorry, hon, what is your vote?"
Lark cheekily grins, "I vote games, too." At that William and Sel roll their eyes.
~~~
Since we had a unanimous vote, we started on the rides at the fair.
I got to experience the Gavitron and it was amazingly...terrifying.
I think I screamed "AAHHHHH!" the entire time because my body kept moving left and right. At one point, my feet didn't even touch the ground.
Once Sel stopped laughing at my expense, he placed his arm around my waist and provided me with some much needed stability.
At the Ferriswheel, Sel and I rode together while Will and Lark followed in the cart behind.
Halfway during the ride, he laced his fingers through mine, and in return, I placed my head on his shoulder. Then, he kissed my forehead.
Butterflies, y'all, I got butterflies.
Afterwards, we went on many of the other roller coasters, but I sat out any ride that involved me being dropped in any sort of way. My heart was too weak for that.
~~~ Next, we hit the games.
I really wanted to win this cute stuffed dog (you are never too old for stuffed animals!), but I was completely useless at this balloon dart game. The last time I was at the fair I failed miserably at it, and simply put, I didn't want to try it again.
(Here's another picture for context!)
So, like the gentleman he was, Selwyn jumped to my rescue.
Upon noticing my interest in the prizes at this particular game stand, he asks me, "Do you want one of those stuffed animals? I'll play the game."
I shook my head, even though I knew good and well that I did, in fact, want one of those stuffed animals. "No. it's okay, Selwyn. I'm fin-"
Selwyn interrupts, "Which one do you want?"
But I refuse, "Really, I don't need any-"
"Briana Matthews. I, Selwyn Kane, your adoring boyfriend, would be honored to win you one of those inanimate objects. Now, are you going to deny me that pleasure?" Selwyn smirks, knowing that he won the argument.
"Fine. I would love it if you could win me the dog." I concede. Sel squeezes my hand and then walks over to the game.
"Awww, that's so romantic, Lark! Are you going to win me a prize, too?" William looks to his boyfriend purposefully.
"Most definitely!" Lark answers, starting to join Selwyn in line, when Will kisses his cheek, "Thanks, babe!"
The blush on Larkin's cheeks was so cute. #TeamWillandLarktiltheend
~~~
Finally, we enjoyed some fantastic fair food.
Will and Lark were more experimental, trying out some deep fried options. I, on the other hand, was more generic in my choices. I had a corn dog and what I mostly came to the fair for...funnel cake!
Selwyn just had whatever I had, trusting my opinions.
At the table we were sitting at, I found myself becoming more and more tired. All that walking really wears a person out...well people who aren't Merlins. Sel and Lark don't appear to be winded at all. Come to think of it, Will didn't either. Maybe I'm just out of shape.
"Someone's sleepy." Lark teases. Will glances at me and nods his head in agreement.
"No, I'm not. I'm not tired." I attempt to argue.
Sel jumps in at that, "You are, sweetheart. It's okay, though, you can go to sleep. I'll carry you back to the car."
"No. No need because I'm not tired." I insist.
~~~
I was out within the next three minutes, so Sel did have to carry me back to the car.
....Oops.
~~~
