'lloyd is very weak now and needs to marry so he'll have someone to protect him'- lloyd has the only grandmaster on the world following him around like a puppy. he has the most terrifying motherfucker on the world wrapped around his little finger. he has the one person in the world who can hit an absolute in the head and get away with it swearing in his heart to protect him no matter the cost over and over again.

lloyd made javier watch him die twice right in front of him just to keep him alive. there is no power on existence that could make javier allow anyone or anything to even think about harming lloyd again.

lloyd is fine

Prompt 132

So it turns out Danny and Billy share a realms guardian. Not like they knew that until they literally got scruffed and taken through a portal- apparently realms paperwork can take years or even centuries so they actually got really lucky with how much their guardian was pushing. 

Apparently the primordial being of Space and the primordial being of Storm is one and the same and has been… well not throwing a fit but also yes throwing a fit at the Observants and other paperwork beings of the Zone. 

So it’s not the worst kidnapping either of them have gone through, apparently they’re getting a checkup and a crash course in realms stuff?? Oh god what do you mean there’s the equivalent of galas in the Zone and they have to go to them??? Sam/Tim help them! 

On the bright sides, way less attacks on Amity now that a primordial being that literally shuffles around entire galaxies just because is hanging around to teach him how to do things. And when Billy gets found out to be ten he can cheerfully say he has permission from his guardian. The one literally letting them get through space so quickly just because they think the league is neat. In an idle wow yep kiddo that is a funky looking cat we aren’t taking home yep, way.

A WW2 Hawker Hurricane in Alexandra Gardens, Windsor

The Hawker Hurricane played a significant role in the Battle of Britain in 1940. It was designed by Sir Sydney Camm who came from Windsor. Hence this Hawker Hurricane memorial to him in Alexandra Gardens in Windsor.

The historic R4118

Constructed in 1940, the Shuttleworth's Collection Hawker Hurricane I R4118 (G-HUPW) is the only airworthy Hurricane to have taken part in the Battle of Britain and is perhaps the most historic Second World War fighter to have survived the conflict.

don't mind my self indulgence but uhh Touya being healed with the combination of rapidly evolving technology, healing quirks and Endeavor's funding to the point it's like the fire on Sekoto never happened. he looks in the mirror and doesn't recognize the person that looks back at him. the burns were such an intrinsic part of him, even before he became Dabi, even before he woke up sixteen years old with stitches all over his face, back when he was a child and trained his fire with the parts of his body that he he could easily hide under his clothes.

it's nothing like when he woke up from the coma and looked in the mirror for the first time, seeing something his mind struggled to comprehend as himself, the too-old boy with desperation in his eyes and a garish smile cut directly into his face belonging in his worst nightmare that has come true. accepting it back then was easy, the wretched feeling of brokenness following his every footstep since he was four years old. the outside matching his insides was a relief, in a twisted way, as much as it hurt to imagine his family looking at him and not recognizing Touya, as sorrowful as it was to live through that fantasy.

this- just feels wrong. he doesn't see himself in this new, unfamiliar face. what he sees is rather a mosaic of his family's features: his mother's soft white hair, his father's eyes, Fuyumi's eyelashes and Natsuo's stubborn eyebrows. the combination of so familiar but foreign features combined into a mask that was plastered on his own ruined face.

he hated that forlorn looking boy's picture sitting on his altar and he hated thinking that that's how his family remembered him. it's the very same boy's older face that he sees in the mirror.

Touya was never this pitiful, desolate boy. he was always burning, even when the others couldn't see it. being stuck with this hurts worse than being faced with the consequences of his reckless self-abandoning training.

and worst of all, he knows that if he ever starts using his quirk, the cremation process will start all over again.

Levi being injured cause he's too op and he would have made the final season shorter if he were in his prime? ❌

Levi being injured so he's covered in bandages, just so it's easier to tell the difference between him and mikasa while she's not wearing the scarf? ✔️

Can you elaborate on the gadsden flag stuff?

Sure. I had a better response to this typed out in my head last night but. A lot of it comes from what I'd say is really frustratingly popular politics. As libertarians morphed from "I want gay couples to defend their weed with guns" into the tea party, the gadsen flag became associated with a group of people who are otherwise despicable, etc, "acceptable targets", whatever. In response to this, the type of people who desire a dictatorship of the many see it as a perfectly acceptable marker to flag someone as someone who should be abused just for the sake of it, for being of the wrong tribe. This is like, funda-fucking-mentally bad philosophy, bad optics, bad praxis. You target something that says "dont oppress me" and go out of your way to brag about how much you want to oppress them and strip them of civil rights? This isn't a "States Rights To Do What" situation, it's punching down at people who you're choosing to associate with a group of acceptable targets because you really, really like the idea of stripping your political opponents, or really, your political non-allies, of their rights due to your crusade against other ideologies. Going "Actually you should be oppressed for expressing your opposition to others getting up in your business" is a terrible paternalist response by a wide variety of groups, because, sure, it started with like, "an"coms, but is clearly a feature of what people call capital L Liberals philosophy now, the HR department of life.
