My Top 10 least favorite Celebrities

Now keep in mind this list is simply my opinion I don’t mean to offend people and I do my best to give good reasons on why I don’t respect or like any of these people.

#10 Danielle Panabaker

I haven’t always had a problem with Danielle. She is the reason I started watching the Flash. I was also familiar with her work on Disney channel. She starred in the movies “Stuck in the Suburbs” “Read it and Weep” alongside her sister Kay Panabaker and most of you know she was in the movie Sky High. I was excited to see Danielle move on to bigger and better things. However, my issues with her began after watching her interviews and how I heard she tried to steal Candice’s spot as leading female. I tried to let it go at first but the more interviews I watched of her the more I started to lose respect for her. There was this ‘Ship war” between West Allen & Snowbarry. The problem with that is that Snowbarry is nonexistent. That was made up shortly after Candice Patton a black woman was cast as the leading female. Danielle has baited her racist shippers into thinking Snowbarry could happen. She has boasted about her and Grant’s chemistry right in front of Candice and Carlos and she has disregarded canon for the sake of baiting her SB shippers. Candice Patton has always talked about including more females on the show and Danielle boasts about being the “Only girl in STAR Labs” She even implied that her character Caitlin was jealous of Candice’s character Iris simply because of attention Iris waEs getting from guys. Candice on the other hand says, “That Iris will be fighting over a guy.” Danielle never once mentions Candice or her character in an interview but completely gets excited over Emily Bett Rickard’s character Felicity because “It was great having another female on the show.” Even though she got done bragging about being “The only female in STAR Labs” The worst thing is she tried to pass off a moment of sexual assault/harassment as a cute Snowbarry moment just get her portion of the fan-base excited. Even worse than that she did that in front of Candice and Carlos. Carlos even had to remind her she had her own ship called SnowStorm. In a most recent she did, she was asked about a Snowest friendship (Iris & Caitlin) she didn’t even give a straight answer she said something along the lines of “Iris doesn’t really make a lot of sense in STAR Labs and I am excited to see her journalism arc” and I am like that had absolutely nothing to do with the question that was being asked. Her answer sounded a lot like Iris West Allen haters. I don’t know if Danielle is doing this on purpose because she is mad at the fact she was not cast as the lead or is it because she really is that oblivious to the kind of horrible stuff people say about her female costar? Either way I don’t have much respect for Danielle because she is willfully ignorant to her privilege she has a white woman. Honestly Candice deserves a better female costar than the one she has now.

#9 Alexandra Shipp

She is known for playing Storm and the singer Aaliyah. Storm in the comics is a dark skin full blooded black woman. Alexandra Shipp is a mixed woman. Once again, the casting directors were too lazy to hire someone like Lupita to play Storm. When people expressed how upset they were that Alexandra Shipp was cast as Storm she basically told people to get over it. Okay now on one hand Alexandra is an actress so she should be allowed to play a part without getting back lash. However, the problem is that Hollywood has a long history of casting racially ambiguous/mixed women as all out black female characters who are supposed to be dark skin. Hollywood is colorist as hell. Alexandra basically said she isn’t going to miss any opportunity to audition for a part or take a part even if it is meant for a dark skin woman. As an actress she has a right to do that but the downfall this prove she is unaware of the privilege she has a mixed woman. As a mixed woman myself I believe we should be using our privilege to help up lift dark skin women. Media shits on black women enough and it’s even worse when mixed women who are half black are helping this problem. Sadly, Alexandra Shipp isn’t the only woman guilty of this. Yara Shahidi and Amandla Stenberg will acknowledge their privilege as mixed women but then turn around take parts meant for full on dark skin black girls. That is so hypocritical and this trend Hollywood and in media in general really need to die. So, I hope that these women stop doing this and really do something to fight against the colorism in Hollywood.

#8 Julie Plec

I have only watched to season 1 episode 7 of The Vampire Diaries. I have watched clips online too. Three reasons I have trouble getting through that show. One Damon is an abusive asswipe, two Delena and three Bonnie Bennet’s piss poor treatment. I put Julie Plec on this list because she called Delena sexy and treats her one black character the worst out of all the characters on the show. She is entitled to her opinion on Delena. However, my question is what is exactly sexy about an abusive relationship? Damon has raped and abused Elena and her friends, has killed several people she has care about because she didn’t do what he wanted, the biggest example is that when Elena rejected Damon he murdered her brother by snapping his neck. Yet she calls that a sexy relationship? She sabotaged Stelena and Bamon actual healthy relationships to force an unhealthy couple. The only time Damon is likable is when he is around Bonnie. Bamon on the show didn’t happen because Bonnie is black. They happened in the books because Bonnie was white in the books. The fact that Julie Plec can tease ships like Delena and Stelena but is so quick to shut down Bamon shippers is part of the reason racism in fandoms exist. Behavior like that from people like Julie Plec and Danielle Panabaker are only helping fuel a racist fanbase. You can’t tell me Julie has never seen the nasty racist stuff that Kat Graham the actress and Bonnie Bennet the character gets. If she has seen it and said nothing, then shame on her for not saying anything. Anyways I don’t have too much else to say but when I complete the series of TVD I will make sure to give more thorough opinion on the show and Julie.

#7 Marc Guggenheim & Wendy Mericle (This picture felt right due to my feelings on them)

These two will forever be known as the two idiots who ruined Arrow. I have three big problems with these two. One, their treatment of female characters, two the vast amounts of white washing and three how unprofessional they are. Every female character that has been killed off died in a way where they  had no chance to defend themselves. Shado and Moria stabbed with their hands tied behind their backs and killed off for the sake of man pain. Sara Lance shot off a building with arrows while caught off guard. Dinah Laurel Lance Earth 1 the true Black Canary frozen by magic stabbed with an Arrow gets successful surgery only to have a random seizure and die. Really? However, the men on this show no matter how evil get to die as a hero. The worst thing about Laurel’s last moments is that she spent it with Oliver a man who treated her like shit and her last words were spent propping up his relationship with Felicity. Laurel was treated like trash all through out the show. Marc and Wendy didn’t know what character was going in the grave until episode 16. The death took place in episode 18. Katie Cassidy found out two episodes before that her character was going in the grave and she didn’t even find out in person she was told over the phone. So not only are Marc and Wendy unprofessional but they have proven themselves to be incompetent writers. Even John Barroman was dissatisfied at his departure from the show. They are also heavily misogynistic in their writing in the way they kill their female characters without giving them chance to defend themselves as I have mentioned earlier and in the way, they write Felicity. Felicity is written as a jealous bitch. She has been jealous of every single one of Oliver’s relationships. They had her refer to Lian Yu as fantasy Island a place that Oliver describes as his personal hell, just because there were two other women with him on the beach. Now on to the problem of white washing. Arrow has a bad habit of white washing characters. Here is a list of characters that Arrow has white washed https://thenerdsofcolor.org/2015/04/10/white-canary-and-arrows-habit-of-whitewashing/  Arrow also treats characters especially female characters like they are interchangeable.  The character Evelyn Sharp is Starling in the comics but because she was introduced the episode after they killed Laurel she got the name Artimis attached to her due to the popularity of the Young Justice character to simply gain them more views. Evelyn Sharp/Starling are characters that have never had a live adaptation so why not do that character instead of mix matching characters. The next character they messed up is Dinah Drake who was established as Laurel’s mom on the show and she is the first Black Canary in the comics. Yet the show introduces to a new Black Canary named Tina Boland whose real name happens to be Dinah Drake.  Arrow now has had four different Dinahs two of them being Laurel. Conner Hawk is now randomly John Diggle Junior and they have completely erased the Asian half. William and Samantha are supposed to be Blasian characters named Conner and Sandra Hawk only to be random white washed nobodies. .I hate how they treat their queer/lgbtq characters like trash. They forced a lesbian into a hetero marriage and have their one bi character sleep around. Marc even admitted two bi characters of the oppososite gender hooked up simply because they were both bi. I am sorry to all the LGBTQ people out there for being represented so terribly. Anyways thank god Marc and Wendy won’t be around for season 7 of Arrow. All though sadly their damage of the show will be left behind

#6 Marlene King

She is the writer for Pretty Little Liars and Famous in Love.  I put Marlene on this list because of “creative choices” she has made in her shows. In Pretty Little Liars and Famous in Love she had characters statutorily raped and did nothing about it. Toby was raped by two women, one being his step sister Jenna and the second woman being Alex, Spencer’s identical twin sister. For those going to Alex didn’t rape Toby yes, she did because she pretended to be Spencer to trick Toby into having sex with her. Tricking someone into having sex with you is rape. The fact that Toby’s rape from Jenna was played off as a secret love affair is disgusting and purpurates the stereotype that all guys are horny and want sex. This ignores male rape victims. Then I watched the scene where Alex and Toby are “having sex” and the people in the comments are calling it cute just because Alex looks like Spencer. That is so gross. There is nothing cute about watching someone get raped. Then on Famous in Love Nina who is the mother of Jordan’s best friend was having sex with Jordan when he was 16 and she was an adult. All though I am having trouble with that because people say she didn’t know because Jordan lied about his age. I am not sure if that is true but if she didn’t and found out it was her job as the adult to put to a stop to it but if she did know and didn’t care then shame on her and she needs to be in prison in a cell next to Ezra Fitz who I will talk about next. Ezra Fitz purposely stalked four underage girls and started a relationship with one of them knowing full well that she was underage and knew he was going to be her teacher all to write a book about their missing friend who is another underage girl that he had a relationship with.  This was never addressed in a nuanced way. Ezra never went to jail or prison. Instead people questioned his relationship with Aria, but not once did they call the police on him.  He stalked the four girls while he claimed to be away on business.  Then at the end of the series Aria and Ezra get married. Yes, that is right folks Marlene King had a victim marry their statutory rapist/stalker. Sadly, that is not the only abusive couple that ended up together. The one LGBTQ couple that ended up together was abusive and only ended together because of whiny ass fanbase and Emily’s eggs being implanted into Alison without either girl’s knowledge which is a violation of both girl’s bodies. I have gone on in the past on why I hate Emison so if you want to know more read my Top 10 worst couples list where you will find Emison and Ezria.  The next problem I have is how Marlene treats poc characters and her lgbtq/queer characters. She treated Paige badly even though Paige had the most common sense. She made a few mistakes but learned from them and she didn’t get the happy ending she deserved. The show Pailey lived together but we don’t get to see that instead we get flash backs of Emison where Alison is abusing Emily. Maya a woman of color who was also bisexual killed off for shock value. Yvonne woman of color Toby’s finance killed off just because of Spoby, Charlette a transgender character made into a villain and killed off, Shauna made into a villain and killed off. Ugh. Anyways Marlene is guilty of promoting abusive relationships by having two be endgame. She is basically saying if “Your abuser is nice to you sometimes then you should give them what they want.

#5 Adam Horowitz & Edward Kitsis

They are best known for making the show Once Upon A Time. I wrote a long post on deviant art that I will copy and paste here if you want a more thorough explanation but those of you wanting a brief explanation on what my problem with them are here you go. I have four main problems. One, they way the treat male rape victims on the show, two the fact it took them seven seasons to have people of color on the show because prior to that they have been killed off, three the vast amounts of queer baiting they do and four the fact that a woman needs to have a child and a man to have a happy ending. The first lgbtq/queer couple they had were rushed, forced and slapped together and then the two characters were never seen again. It just felt like they wanted brownie points from the lgbtq/queer community for representation. They have had three females on male rape which two out of three of them were done by deception and two out of the three rapes had babies born from this. Okay now here is the long-winded version from Deviant Art about my problems with Adam and Eddie. Its long because it is my review on Once Upon a Time. “There is a lot I am going to say here. These are my overall thoughts on Once Upon a Time and the writers. Not all of this is going to be positive so be prepared.  Once Upon A Time was a show I really enjoyed because of the many characters I grew up with got to be done differently and interpreted different ways. I thought the names characters had were quite clever. For example, Cora is the Queen of Hearts and Core means hearts, Regina Mills last named being Mills was because her mom was the Miller's daughter or how Rumpelstiltskin was called Mr. Gold or Detective Weaver because he weaved and spun gold. I loved all the clever names. My favorite story lines were Ruby being the wolf, and her boyfriend being named Peter as a nod to Peter and the wolf. I also enjoyed Ingrid as a character and I enjoyed the show for what it was. However, this show has many problems which I will now get into. The show's main problem is that villains’ actions are not called out properly. The two biggest examples are Regina and Rumple. Regina, has mass murdered three villages worth of people, separated children from their families, locked away Belle in a tower for 28 years and straight up raped Graham and yes folks I said it she RAPED Graham. Several people of asked Adam and Eddy about the Regina raping Graham argument and they have dismissed the argument by saying it Graham was Regina's sex slave. This isn't the only problem with Regina. She has committed so many heinous crimes and none of her main victims have called her out for it they just give her a free pass because "She's good now".  Once Upon A Time has a huge problem with rape in general. Adam and Eddy have written three female on rape cases and never once bothered to address any of them. Two out of three of the came a child and two out of three rape victims ended up dying by murder basically and it was never dealt with again. Zelena killed Marion a woman of color (We are getting to that soon) shape shifted into her then raped Robbin Hood who was dating Regina at the time. Then Zelena gets pregnant and names her daughter Robin? Why? I truly believe it was to spite Regina and rub it in her face that she can't bear children of her own. What the hell were Adam and Eddy thinking naming Zelena's baby Robin? Then Gothel raped Nook/Wish Hook and had Alice. Why won't they address this issue. What about Emma and Neal. Neal aka Bealfire is over 300 years old or 24 for safety and Emma was 16 or 17 years old. No one thought that relationship was weird? I feel conflicted about Swanfire. The most problematic relationship to me is Rumbelle, it’s so awful even the actress who plays Belle hates the relationship. Why did Adam and Eddy make that a relationship at all? Rumple did nothing but lie and deceive Belle. He murdered Milah twice and now he can't respect Belle. It is honestly the most emotionally abusive relationship I have seen. These writers tried to shove it off as a dysfunctional relationship. It was that all right but it was very emotionally abusive and just really creepy. Rumple went so far as stalking Belle by putting a tracker bracelet on her and showed up at the library when Belle clearly didn't want him there. Belle honestly should have ended up with Ruby, Graham or Adam who was never introduced. Moving on from Rumblle up next the show's problems are how they treat their characters of color. Up until season seven there were no main characters of color. The characters were either one offs, or they died too soon. Rapunzel who was black appeared once and never mentioned again despite being a popular story, Gus Gus dies, Ursula basically a one off never seen again, Sydney a black man brought on and used as a slave or indentured servant depending on how you look at it either way bad. Tamera Neal's girlfriend killed off by Rumple, Mulan an Asian bisexual woman never got a happy ending but was there to cape for the white characters. The Dragon guy killed off, Merlyn dead, and many others have died as well. The next problem is the queer baiting on this show. This show took five seasons to give us a lgbtq couple and it was rushed, and they weren't seen again. The two most popular couples are Sleeping Warrior and Swan Queen. Sleeping Warrior was the closest thing to a healthy lgbtq interracial relationship. We were so close but nope Aurea had to get pregnant with Prince Philip's baby and they won't even let Mulan say she was in love with Aurea which really pisses me off because the writers have established her as bisexual but won't allow her a happy ending or a chance at true love. The only main canon lgbtq couple we got were Robbin and Alice. I think if Mulan were a white woman and in season 7 she would have gotten a happy ending and a wonderful love interest. (All though Mulan is Asian and should stay Asian because, I hate white washing) Swan Queen all though I am not big on it I do see why people ship it. All though can people take a minute and realize that Emma and Regina are step granddaughter and step grandmother? Then again Emma married her almost step father in law so this show is close to having incestuous relationship so why shouldn't they give Regina and Emma a chance? My biggest problem with the show is how Emma got treated like shit by the fandom and the writers. Emma who tried to save Marion's life had to apologize to Regina for "ruining her chances with Robin or making her life more complicated?" Excuse me but Regina was going to murder Emma as a baby, Regina is the whole reason Emma didn't have a family for 28 years of her life. Regina can drink a tall glass of STFU. Seriously these writers coddle the hell out of Regina and it is annoying as hell. As I said before Regina has kidnapped an entire town by cursing them, she raped Graham for 28 years and she mass murdered thousands upon thousands of people. Here these videos are a summary of all the messed up things Regina have done.www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q8bNf…. Then the writers have retconned Henry. He told Regina "You were the first person to love me." Excuse me but this kid was going to build an armory against her and ran away to Emma. Yeah Regina isn't abusive. Adam and Eddy also think that happy endings mean children and other true love. Really characters like Regina and Rumple should work hard to improve themselves but nope corners were crossed for those two and they got happy endings meanwhile good characters such as Mulan, Facillar, Milah, and many other characters who were actual good people didn't get a happy ending. Yet mass murdering rapists got happy endings that is so messed up. In conclusion Adam and Eddy are misogynistic assholes and have proven to be racist in their writing. They have also don't care about lgbtq people, male rape victims and the people of color on their show. I also found it really insulting that they portrayed women as incomplete if they couldn't bear children of their own. All in all, Once Upon a Time could have been a great show but instead it was mediocre.”

#4 Kanye West

If there were a contest on being the most arrogant and most full of yourself person Kanye would either win first place or he would take second to his in laws/his wife. He is colorist, he is an attention whore and he said that slavery is a choice. I hope he meant the mind set of slavery is a choice but I highly doubt it but I highly doubt it. He put a confederate flag on his clothing line. I have seen the price of his clothing is way too expensive. $200 for a shirt all because it says Yeeze? Then again there are purses that cost more than that just because the purse has the word Coach on it. His wife who isn’t even black takes things from black culture but never pays respect to the culture she is borrowing from and Kanye just supports this. Kanye has bashes other types music just because it is not his own and he is just so full of himself. He even said he supports Donald Trump which his right, but he probably said that for attention too. Anyways I have never really cared for Kanye I can’t say too much else about him.

#3 James Gunn

He directed both Guardians of the Galaxy movies which are both great. However, I don’t think he will be directing the third since he was recently fired over some ten-year-old tweets. Now tweets shouldn’t get someone fired but if you are making several jokes about pedophilia then that is probable cause to be to be fired. James Gunn made these tweets in his forties and never deleted them. First off why is James Gunn making several jokes about pedophile at the age of 40? He is now 50 and he didn’t use his common sense back then to know those are not things you joke about?  Second why is that type of thing on his mind. He didn’t just make one joke about it he made several jokes about child molestation. If that is on his mind constantly then he needs to be psychologically evaluated. I honestly hope he hasn’t acted on the pedophilia because the fact that is something on his mind at age 40 is terrifying and he needs serious help.

#2 Robert Sylvester Kelly/R Kelly

He refers to himself as the Pied Piper of R&B. Which is ironically fitting since he the Pied Piper is known for kidnapping children. R Kelly is one of the most talented singers I have ever heard in my life. I listened to his music growing up. He “wrote” the song “I believe I can fly” and the song “Ignition” Now for those wondering why I put the word in qoutioans its because R Kelly is illiterate he can’t read or write. I am serious he is not dyslexic he has never learned to read or write according to his brother Carrey and Wendy William. Now as I said before R Kelly is one of the most talented singers but sadly he is also one of the most garbage human beings I have ever had the displeasure of hearing about. Where do I even start? There have been stories since the early 90’s of him being a predator. He would hang out at middle schools in Chicago as an adult picking up young girls, and promising[HK1]  them money, gift cards and McDonalds. The girls he did get to come to his house he kept him them in their rooms or the basement, forced the girls to call him daddy and made them perform sexual acts on him. He pissed on a fourteen girl and married the singer Aaliyah when she was 15 and he was 27 at the time. In fact, for more detail about R Kelly and his creepy behavior here is a documentary of all the fucked-up things he did. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p060m6qx  When R Kelly was 49 he dated a 19-year-old which wasn’t illegal but given his past history with girls that is just creepy. I also hate the fact he could afford to pay someone to teach him how to read and write but won’t because he used his money for lawyers and paid off the families of the girls he abused to keep them quiet. One day R Kelly will go to jail. I think the reason he stayed out of prison for so long are for two reasons. Number one he is famous and loads of money to pay people off and two he targets young black girls/women who are the least protected group in America. Anyways R Kelly needs to be in prison in solitary confinement until the day he dies. He is disgusting, and he is probably just as disgusting as my next choice for my number one pick.

#1 Gregory Daniel Jackson

He is better known by his YouTube alias Onision. He is a famous youtuber who tries to be like Shane Dawson in video style and in hair style. I put him on the list for the countless fucked-up things he has done to basically gain attention.  He has met all his wives and his current wife over the internet while they were either 16 or 17. He was an adult at the time. He flies these women out to his house and has isolated them from their families. He put his first wife on blast because she didn’t want to have sex with him and gave out the number of partners she had as revenge for not wanting to have sex with him. The number was pretty high, then after treating her like garbage he left her several voice mails. If you don’t believe me here is the video of the “voice mails he left for her” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPnC3n2fpYs&t=1s . His second wife Shiloh lost three years of her memory and posted a video of her having a break down but apparently she was faking I am not entirely sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz_9s9SgQao and then filmed her having a meltdown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7HcGsMb5PQ I am linking these videos as proof because Onision is just gross. He encouraged Lainey to get a girlfriend even though she/”they”  (Lainey is nonbinary but Onision calls her she all the time so I am not sure what pronoun to use for Lainey so I used both) was not into it. He only encouraged it to for his benefit. He killed his pet turtle/tortoise and to this day he will not admit that he did it. He put his turtle in on the grass put a plastic container upside down over the turtle and left it in the sun for two hours. He never owns up to what he did wrong and when he does he always makes himself out to be the victim. He has made jokes on self-harm, 9/11 and sexual abuse. He has made fun of people who struggle with their weight, eating disorders. He says things but later goes on to deny them. Anyways, he isn’t worth watching but if you plan on watching his videos I advise you to watch with caution. I almost forgot to mention people have had to call animal control on his ass. I pray he goes to prison soon. He even had to get a lawyer to find out if his marriage to his wife was legal or not. He lied about being honorably discharged from the military. Anyways, Onision is a narcissist, a sociopath and psychopath. He needs to go to prison and he doesn’t need to be making youtube videos. I forgot to mention if you are a meat eater Onion boy will hate on you wish death on you and get on his high horse on he is better than you because he doesn’t eat meat. He has done that in the past.

Western Dreams: Of Hope And Death

Well It wasn’t precisely a galaxy far far away, not to everyone at least, but given the nature of social economic structures, the general far reaching scope of racism (it just makes everyone more relatable), strange senses of imperfection that are often misplaced (short, tall, beautiful, not beautiful, isn’t that stuff all just a state of perspective), and the miraculous nature of a people’s ability to break certain poorly prescribed habits to rise beyond their common sequences and general dumbness, it would seem that this little western town, more or less out in the left hand of nowhere would become a beacon for destiny, it’s callings and trials.  

Well as it goes, or at least as we’ve heard it told every now and then, there was a bit of a dispute between the strongest and most powerful of this infinitely sided set of stories we call existence. Real bad ass nonsense you know, battles of ultimate destiny, and collision courses aimed at becoming the greatest the universe has ever known. Well as it probably should have been apparent (though in truth it’s hard to really tell these things when you’re punching your dumb brother or brothers in the face) greatness takes diligence, and patience, and something a little more deep than the general superficiality we are challenged with on a daily basis. Something’s are more simple to show than to explain, and vice versa, so we will balance both as best we can, and in short much of the story can be summarized with these words (though in truth the truly sweetest and most awesome bits are in those details oh so personal) “true tests never end” (I suppose we will add the “our loved ones” to the last bit). If you are getting the sense this may be something of a last will and testament, well then you wouldn’t exactly be wrong, as for all intents and purposes, we are already dead, or will be by the time this story is at least half way through. In fact every now and then we have been called something like the grim reaper but we didn’t come here to name drop. I suppose you could consider it something of a time capsule, crafted from the stuff of dreams, bearing the scars of hopes endurance, with many lessons on the nature of nurturing order in a senseless and unforgiving world. If this work speaks to you, consider your existence very carefully, there are enemies far and near, and sometimes your greatest enemy could be right beneath your skin, they could beat with the very same heart as yours, like twins, they are freaky business ya know. I suppose the short way of saying it is, be strong, be smart, and believe that their was a point to you surviving when so many things did not. Heroes are amazing, monsters are scary, but above all others, we needed a miracle. So much has been, and will be sacrificed (again we imagine) do not be sheep just waiting to be slaughtered, or to slaughter yourself. We’ve seen it written, in one way or another, that the god and devil do not look so different, but such is often the way of such complicated, and hilariously dangerous entities.

Well I suppose that’s good enough as far as precursors go, as a last note I should say that the events described here are subject for interpretation, as describing an interdimensional-space-time anomaly of the heart and soul, is more or less like describing a dispute in heaven, or the variance between sins and virtues. Have you ever considered the nature of ideals, or the epitome of chairness and one ultimate chair prime casting all chair’s in it’s image. Well this is sort of like that, one giant map of harmony between principles both divine and mundane connecting everything in existence. Driven home the point looks something like, if every aspect life and death revolves around the nature of a story, as in even the air you believe you’re breathing could be a story, then somewhere out there is the strongest most powerful story of all, and we were all molded around its image. Look for the signs, search deep within, the handwriting is everywhere you could say.

Let’s start with the simple stuff, their once were a couple of strange kids, who became so much more stranger, as kids are likely to do when they are finally convinced (even if only a little) of their ultimate greatness. You could say that there were around forty two potential candidates for this mission or even path, but as things were, in those early days only about seven showed up. It’s okay, though, the youth is fond of its odd schedules.

So let’s see, their names were something like Emma, Jared, Nathaniel, Conti, Anthony, Terra, and Arianne, though in the course of one’s existence you could have many names forgetting and recognizing others as time goes by. I suppose they were special, but you have to understand we are a strange people prone to much martial conditioning and spiritual trials. The simple way to say it is, many of us work on the perspective, that a broken leg will heal stronger than before if only for knowing that it was broken (the how’s and why’s of an event) and those that don’t heal, must have been too weak, and would have been eaten anyway. It’s harsh, and it’s far from right, but the existence of evil, and divine agony (and or irony) , sort of require a somewhat awkwardly twisted perspective on most ideas often taken for granted by the general populace (whoever and wherever they might be). Short version, they were special because they chose to be, it was not something that could be given, it was earned from one deep self to the other.

Emma was native american and had shortish hair around the ears and neck, and was, generally speaking, very very hot (or pretty or whatever). She was also, generally speaking, disagreeable and prone to being especially brutal if not educational to her fellows at the karate dojo her cousin was in charge of. Jared was the picture of at risk teen, though many could be fooled with his somewhat perverse understanding of the complexities of human desire and need, you could say that for all his angst and bitterness he had a way of getting things to go down the path he found most beneficial. He was something like arabian which may not sound right but we are not entirely in tune with the specifics of the niceties and public policies of your dimension (this is a pretty messed up story after all). Terra was half japanese, half dominican (not in the religious sense, more of that half island off the coast of wherever) and was often teased by her friends for being blasian (black and asian) or hispanese (hispanic and japanese). She was a pretty enough girl but like some of the greatest ideas, her true beauty and awesomeness were both internal things as well as a thing that could be understood through much effort and patience. Anthony was Emma’s slightly older, and slightly more ridiculous brother, he often scared people with his stone man disposition or general “don’t make me kill you” manner of bearing, he looked and was strong, if a bit foolish, but we’ve all been foolish at one point or another. He liked to keep his hair long and braided down his back. Conti was a ginger so his soul was always at least a little in question, and though we have no great love for the white man, he was alright as far as things went. With fiery red hair and freckles galore, his general laid back and humorous approach to life and other trials was endearing when it wasn’t downright disturbing. The man could find the gold in a highway pile up (gold because he was not always sold on the nature of silver linings and pipe dreams). He was a bit on the thin side, but we suppose you could say in a sort of lean gaelic swordsman type of way, or even like a highlander or something. Pretty macho when he wanted to be. Nathaniel was funny too in the way all possible future overlords are funny when they’re all cute and without their many tools. Nathaniel was black and was teased, in a not so endearing way, for it, though he didn’t especially mind as he was relatively certain it was the price he payed for the tiny yet effective actions of vengeance he took out on his peers in that not so normal town, where not quite nothing happened. He liked the other seven because they were “real” when so much had failed to be. Plus it helped that they didn’t call him a nigger, and that in a general way he didn’t feel the need to desecrate their family graves. Arianne had a face that was pleasing if you knew how to vibe with a person’s strange rhythms, otherwise it was unassuming, she had womanish curves and hair like autumn leaves which often left people unprotected from the cutting and concussive intellect she could and would often slam them with. It wasn’t exactly her fault, everyone’s a little different you see, and Arianne just had the burden of being awkwardly correct about a lot of things, like those mongolian warmasters of old or time travelers.   

So, one day these seven folk were walking, for reasons both mysterious and tragically humorous, towards the same destination. Because destinies are so strange and disturbingly insistent upon themselves, there were different paths between them, different angles from which to view their trajectory so to speak, but at some point we all just sort of get to where we were going (those that choose to exist are complicated that way). They were heading to an arcade, which occasionally doubled as a magic-shop and source of occult knowledge. Anthony was walking with Terra, because they shared a couple of classes together, Arianne was walking by herself because she had trouble trusting people (often for good reason, people suck), Then there was Nathaniel, Jared, and Conti who were sort of walking with sort of following Emma because she was smokin hot and great at video games (lots of virtual skill that one).

Some traffic accident and general local mayhem made the usual routes of access difficult to achieve, so each group, though pieces of a pattern far grander took their own special way to almost reach the arcade. Their journeys were disrupted/interrupted, by some mean ol’ bastards (or bitches depending on who’s telling the story). In some mythological story, which, like many myths, has far more truths than not (people tend to be more scared of what is true rather than what is false, which would explain the falseness you’re probably sensing in the world you currently reside in) there was a technique, the ultimate execution and counter-force method so to speak. The basics, though it was a relatively advanced style, was to take the negative energy provided by your enemy and the environment (like with pollution, or spiritually corrupted ghost realms) and to use them to fuel your own reverse strike(s). In theory a clear and brutal enough focus could burn the negative energy from your system so that it found no purchase even as you redirected it back at your foe, like creating a dimensional sink in the energies path lines and steering it towards your desired or required end. The technique was used by some of the greatest swordsman and death lords in that world, but it was a great strain on the mind, body and spirit, and so many were often corrupted or broken by the awesome might of the technique. It should be noted that although the demands of battle are great, in theory the technique, in it’s most evolved form expels, and does not allow any excess negative energy into their system. We are not exactly pacifist but our opinion is that it has less to do with morality (though it can play a great part in people’s individual choices on it’s uses) and more to do with the efficiency of focus and the extreme danger of handling such volatile energy all at once. But those are just the basics. The technique could lead to, and was in many ways centered on a slightly adjacent principle or “execution art” of tracking the “channels”  or “frequencies” of cosmic energy. There is a similarly labeled mathematical principle which deals in the nature of critical points, so we will use that term to describe the principle’s purpose. The ability to track and touch the fabric of dimensions and cosmic critical points of space-time, but more pointedly, to see how, at these points existence could be fractured, shattered, and manipulated. At a slightly more straightforward level it operated on the basis of destroying any hard substance by striking it’s most vulnerable point letting some of the hardest materials  more or less crumble like sand with the most delicate, yet precise, of touches (generally speaking, breaking a thing through its own design). By pairing this principle of critical centeredness with what you could call the ultimate reverse strike you could in theory, track the energies of any and all cosmic trendlines, straight to the core of their most pertinent openings and from these openings heal or break the cosmos as you saw fit.

In short you could say that for all the fortune or misfortune which was heading their way, it was within their potential, and still is depending on how or why you read this story, to at anytime become the strongest and most powerful entities within their existences by, in a manner of speaking, accepting and bending their most ultimate and truest selves as well as the most ultimate and truest versions of those both enemy and foe. So, moving things along, they sort of died and or got dimensionally turned inside out and folded to the end and back again. It wasn’t so much an explosion though it might have looked that way to many, it was more like a dimensional energy ripping itself loose through the fabric of creation. You could even picture it as something like a sharp cube-dimension (like an oddly ordered black hole) crashing. They were not okay, but at least you could say they had each other. They each probably saw something equivalently horrible as well as awe inspiring in its own way (glorious you could say) though a person’s heaven and hell is their own business more often than not. They had been shattered, broken though those who have been broken may know much of breaking in turn, and that which has been shattered can unshatter all the same. Most trauma’s require patience and a degree of depth to be understood in a useful way, there is seldom love without heart ache, or the fire of stars without the cold absents of the void.

The left quickly, stumbling and moving together in awkward yet oddly synchronized motions. You could say that what is magic to one world would be science to the other, but we often approach dichotomies from something of a yin yang perspectives or perhaps more straightforwardly, from the nature of balancing scales.  In a world of people more or less out of control, (which is not wrong necessarily, control can often be very overrated) order tends to come as a response to chaos, though by that same logic one society’s logic is another’s insanity. Our champions, if you want to call them that were both themselves and not, each other and nobody, their scales, their energies had been sent into undulation, and who could say if they’d ever truly rebalance. They passed out in a forest.

A couple of abstract and surreal dreams later some of which would give even those inclined to opiation a spark of envy, and the seven had awakened. A somewhat funny story as something of a non-sequitur. Two racers competed with one another every day to see who was the fastest and one racer would always win. The other racer felt really bad about this and pondered what it could be that kept him from succeeding. Well one day he noticed that his rival had always gotten to the racetrack before him, and so on that day he got to the race track first and one every race they had ever had (or never had depending on who’s telling it). Ha ha, a little bit of death-time humor.
