After that terrible Sunday at Shiloh, I started out to find [General] Grant and see how we were to get across the river. It was pouring rain and pitch dark, there was considerable confusion, and the only thing just then possible as it seemed to me, was to put the river between us and the enemy and recuperate. Full of only this idea, I ploughed around in the mud until at last I found him standing backed up against a wet tree, his hat well slouched down and coat pulled up around his ears, an old tin lantern in his hand, the rain pelting on us both, and the inevitable cigar glowing between his teeth, having retired, evidently, for the night. Some wise and sudden instinct impelled me to a more cautious and less impulsive proposition than at first intended, and I opened up with, "Well Grant, we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?" "Yes," he said, with a short, sharp puff of the cigar; "lick 'em tomorrow, though."

A Mysterious Glow That Stunned History: The Battle Of Shiloh

[tommy-288]

Going off my last post here’s another interesting story from the ACW. This one’s not as bad though.

After the battle of Pittsburgh’s Landing (most commonly known as the battle of Shiloh) night fall approached. It was rainy, cold, and muddy. Wounded soldiers had to lay there until medics arrived. As they waited men were quite surprised to see there wounds glow blueish.

It took two days until the medics could get to those wounded men. The men with wounds glowing the brightness were more likely to survive. That’s why this glow was dubbed the “Angel’s Glow”.

What this glow actually is Photorhabdus luminescens or P. luminescens. It’s a bacteria that glows blue. The bacteria lives in tiny parasites, which these parasites burrow into insect larva in soil or on plants. Once they’re inside the larva they’ll release the bacteria that kills the larva’s host and any other microorganisms that live there. (Including harmful germs)

There’s one downside though, the bacteria wouldn’t be able to survive in the average human body. It wouldn’t have survived in the bodies of the men who weren’t outside in the cold. But these men had sat days in the cold and rain which lowered their body temperatures.

The wounds got muddy whether that be from the men falling directly onto it or rolling around in pain.

BATTLE OF SHILOH/PITTSBURG LANDING April 6-7, 1862

THE C.A. UNDER GEN. ALBERT S. JOHNSTON SURPRISE-ATTACKED THE U.A. UNDER GEN. U.S. GRANT ON THEIR WAY TO INVADE CORINTH, MISS.

Gen. Prentiss (U.A.) delayed the Confederate advance near Shiloh Church, TN, in which the Union position was called a "Hornet's Nest."

Gen. A.S. Johnston (C.A.) was mortally wounded and was replaced by Gen. Beauregard, as 17,000 Union soldiers arrived under Gen. Buell.

Heavy Confederate casualties forced the C.A. to retreat back to Corinth, giving the U.A. its first great victory in the West.

-

After forcing the C.A. to evacuate Forts Henry & Donelson, Grant's army arrived at Pittsburg Landing in Tennessee with 40,000 men...

As I dismounted, I saw that a stream of blood had run from the General's body some six or eight feet off and ended in a dark pool. Leaning over, I asked, "General, do you know me?" Then he opened his eyes, looked me full in the face, seeming to comprehend and closed them again. He died. There was not a dry eye in that sad group.

I have a Wild West AU.

For all of Star Wars.

It started with a piano version of Cantina Band. It sounds like something you'd hear in a saloon.

That branches out into this.

Han Solo, a smuggler who's infamous for being uncatchable. His partner is a mountain man who's known by the name "Chewbacca".

And this.

Din Djarin, known to most as "Mando", is a lone Mandalorian bounty hunter. Not much is known about the secretive tribe that calls themselves Mandalorians, and most never remove their bandana.

Finally, I drew some members of the Batch. And their horses.

Omega is just a kid, but for some reason the new tycoon is obsessed with capturing her. Bounty hunters are on the lookout. She's brave though, and fights extremely well -for a woman.

"Crosshair" never gives out his real name, and he's always tried to hide his past as a freedom fighter. This cold, snarky, bounty hunter does have a soft side, though he doesn't show it often.

Thunder belongs to a freedom fighter that goes by "Hunter". He's a rather mischievous horse, and will often try and steal snacks.

Mercury was named after her coat, by small-town librarian "Tech". She's patient and is good with children.

Dynamite loves her owner, a ex-miner who calls himself "Wrecker", and she's incredibly tolerant of loud noises and doesn't spook easily.

Blitz is fast and dangerous, just like his owner Crosshair. He isn't scared by much and will often swat people with his tail.

Rattlesnake belongs to a former soldier who goes by "Echo". This horse is incredibly grumpy and doesn't tolerate much.

Desert Rose originally belonged to Echo, but got stolen by Omega and eventually became her horse. She's quiet and calm, and absolutely loves attention.

This is all the art I have so far, hope you like it!

Alpha shiloh x alpha FemReader (If nerf battle had zombies)

     Requested by DerekDavidson  (on quotev )      

(You Pov)

Me and shiloh were the alpha zombies, and if you were wondering how there's two alphas your answer is... I don't really well we are a different species if zombie and there was like a glitch but that doesn't matter I also heard that some suvivors would try to stop us but me and shiloh weren't gonna let that happen .Their squad didn’t just fight against our zombie kind; they were survivors wanting to get ride of us from this place

. Each member of the team was unique in their own way but so were we. Me and shiloh could easily infect them all this battle would probably even be to easy.Me and shiloh heard them talking

 “Remember: today we’re not just fighting for survival! We’re here for glory!” a boy in blue called out I think his was eligah or something  readying his Nerf blaster.

“Glory? I thought we were just here for the snacks afterwards!” Mary exclaimed, "dont worry im jokeing"

With a collective nod, the team positioned themselves, each taking a defensive stance as David counted down.“Three… Two… One… Go!”

From the bushes me and shiloh were spying on them .i kinda had a crush on shiloh but ill talk bout thay later hehe .the suvivors goal was clear: the  survivors had to defeat the two amazing fabulous alphas also known as me and shiloh to free their town; me and shiloh just had to infect them we already had an army of zombies from suvivors we previously infected

"are you ready "shiloh ask me

"I was born ready "I reply with a smirk  The battle erupted with wild whoops and laughter. Nerf darts whizzed through the air, colliding with anything that moved. Us zombies retaliated with leaps and dodges, their grace almost enchanting. Eligah quickly devised a strategy while talking into a Nerf blaster, “Micha, cover the ground! Judah, go somehow  distract them!”

“On it!” Judah shouted, sprinting towards some zombie and done some distraction dance "what on earth are you doing "some zombie asked 

"a distraction "judah replies proudly then run away from the group of zombie chaceing him“Looks like Judah’s got them entertained,” micah chuckled,

shooting a nerf dart towards Shiloh but missing her completely

."is that all you got "shiloh says and infects micah and his clothes and hair turn green"Oh my favourite colour,"micah says

happily Meanwhile, Josiah attempted to make me change sides .“How about you change teams, Y/N? I mean, who wants to be a zombie when you can be a—”“Sorry you ain't my type "I call out to him and infect him to .man am I good at this

Buoyed by spirit and hilarity, the zombies turned to me and shilih, we call out, “Okay, zombies, I need your attention! We’re not just undead; we’re fabulously undead!”

The battle raged on, but soon both sides started to tire, and the air around them throbbed with laughter rather than aggression. Daniel, spotting Shiloh alone for a moment, gleefully aimed his blaster.

“It’s just you and me now, alpha zombie”“are you sure bout that?” Shiloh teased, flipping her hair then a group of zombies surround Daniel."Oh-!!"daniel calls out

All the zombies attack him and shiloh skips away Apon the fun, I'm walking around looking for people when i see Marry on top of a climbing wall " Get   down " I tell mary

"NEVER,"she shouts,

I groan I start throwing axes at mary but she is somehow like dodging them.

Finally, i hit her hand and she falls down but i catch her

“Was that you saving me? Awww, thank you, I'll just go and not disturb you” Marry says in hope

Zombie micah walks up to me and I throw mary to him and say "deal with her," then walk off“evryone stay on your feet!” Eligah called out,

turning to find Shiloh and eligah tries to shoot her but I throw an axe at the bullet "damn I have SUCH GOOD AIM !!!"I shout

And eligah just runs off "hey get back here "shiloh says

"So how ya been girlie pop "I asked shiloh

"Oh ya know just defending our whole zombie kind from annoying suvivors so like nothing much "shiloh answers sarcastically. 

"OK I get it, jeez." I laugh.

We see a Nerf gernade being thrown at me and shiloh but I caught it"HEY I CAUGHT I-" i begin

but shiloh grabs it from my hand and throws it away it explodes mid-air but shiloh pulls me behind a table"Maybe be more careful next time Y/N" shiloh says

"Yeah you right Sooo let go get more suvivors, yeah?"i say and run off

"Wait Y/N wait for meee," shiloh calls and runs after me. There are a crowd of zombies protecting me and shiloh as we see nerf darts flying around everywhere me and shiloh separate for a bit and then I hear very loud music playing

"WHAT AND WHERE IS THAT SOUND COMING FROM"Me and shiloh say at the same time we go to investigate it

But when we got there there was a speaker on the ground and no one here but as we turn around we see eligah pointing two nerf guns at us

"Oh how cooked are we " shiloh says

"OMG LOOK AT THAT" i scream

"Do you really think I'm that much of an idiot" elgah ask me

"I have two things to answer that question !first thing yes second thing ultra yes third thing- oh wait I said I have 2 thing to say hold on hmm-" I say with a smile

but eligah wasn't buying it at all

And just as it looked like the survivors would win, I threw my last axe at Eligah but he dodges it i use this tim and run behind him pick up my axe .and when he is now fully aware of his surroundings i quickly launched a surprise sneak attack on eligah woth my axe .

“Surprise! You’ve just been Y/N-fied’! ”I laugh and shiloh just stares at me to stunned to speak .There was one person left now judah we got out everyone else but now that I think of it after he got chased by a group of zombies at the start we haven't seen him anywhere after strange

"Where is this boy "I wonder to myself and at that moment judah pops up right infront of me

"I got you now alpha "judah says proudly 

"You forgot about shiloh" I say "she's an alpha two ya know"

"REALLY!oh yeah I forgot there were two alphas this time where is shiloh "judah ask .

Was he asking me or himself I have no clue 

"Right here "shiloh says behind him and infects him

"OMG WE WON WE JUST WON !!!"

i scream hugging shiloh I blush a bit"Yeah we did "shiloh says looking around incase their were any left suvivors we didn't see yet“Just like that, team! Can I hear it for the zombies?” i shouted, raising my hands, celebrating with shiloh and the other zombies.,

proud of the 'fun' we had, but more importantly, witnessing the joy radiating from the crew. As dusk settled, Shiloh approaches me“Looks like we did it, partner,” i say to shil her eyes sparkling.

Sparks blurred around us, and with soft bravery, Shiloh leaned in, whispering, “It’s moments like these I think we should… transform. Let’s unite as friends, and maybe even more.”And just like that, amid the foam darts and laughter, me and shiloh shared a gentle kiss, as we pull away for air were both blushing ,but we were happy I was happy

 "Sooo wanna do it again "i ask in hope "how could I say no " shiloh  replies and pulls me in for another kiss and in this moment of sincere affection that echoed against the night, sealing our bond in the chaotic atmosphere of feelings , laughter, and love.

The End.

The Greatness of God’s Glory

12 A man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head. 13 When he arrived, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told the news, all the city cried out. 14 When Eli heard the sound of the outcry, he said, “What is this uproar?” Then…

shiloh! he’s a breeder who’s favorite commissions are shinies, but he breeds for competitive stats too. occasionally he runs into fun genetic mutations, like two shiny zorua tumbling out of the same egg, but one looks a bit… odd. ofc he kept them!

shiny buneary and absol were his two firsts- happy accidents in the wild, several years apart! ponyta was bred and carries eggs close to her hot body, and sentret was hunted wild and evolved, now serving as his mount.

he makes good money so he’s all name brand baby. uncropped size comparisons below!

furret is huge and mischievous so there rlly isn't anything Shiloh can do to keep it out of trouble LOL

absol was very much an accident; Shiloh and his buneary had wandered too far into the mountains and absol helped to guide them away from danger. seeing another strangely colored pokemon like itself, it followed them home and Shiloh was all too pleased to keep it. he doesn't battle, so it was entirely absols choice to stay.

ponyta has egg holsters bc she's wayyyy too energetic to have to just sit around for her flame body to help with hatching eggs..! she's a space heater on the go. Shiloh has some decent land out in the country to breed on so she's got a pretty big field to roam.

lopunny. 😳 she's like a scout, keeping Shiloh's land patrolled and safe for the baby pokemon and eggs everywhere. she's the only one of his pokemon that battles, and she does it autonomously; he isn't much of a trainer lol they're partners! buneary was his first pokemon. he came across it and was so surprised and intrigued by her coat that he came back often until he had eventually befriended her.

the zorua twins are for fun. to call him a hisuian zorua might be an overstatement; I think of it like a genetic mutation that calls back to the fur texture of his ancestors? I don't know if his typing is actually different; his palette is just like normal zoruas! I figure if all you do all day is breed pokemon, then eventually you're going to run into mutations besides just shiny palettes, and they're his trophies when they happen!!!
