Remember saying a problem in the 90s is that EVERYTHING has to be a group... well we don't just get Scream but a whole Symboite squad...

Also, they pulled Venom of Eddie, and they want us to think it killed him, but I won't fall for that trick again.

[fruityangelguy]

my oc dinners are so funny because you have me setting the table and then three hundred other guys who happen to be demons and assassins and criminals etc etc and they’re all trying to kill each other meanwhile i’m trying to heat up this leftover bacon

they are the guys ever <3

Mortal Kombat OC Update Bio: Conner Cage

Name: Conner K. Carlton or Conner Cage

Nicknames:

War Cage

Older bro (by Cassie)

Sonya’s Pet Assassin

Affiliations: 

Blue Dragon 

Special Forces (under contract)

Biography:

Conner Cage was born to Michelle Danvers aka Megan Kidman who was a pureblood cryomancer clone after a one night stand with Johnny Cage. He grew up in a semi-happy life despite having no father with his mother teaching him how to use his powers correctly and using them for self-defense while revealing who she was to him. The pair traveled all the time out of fear that the Lin Kuei would discover who they were as Megan feared that her son would be used as a weapon. Megan later gained a job as a waitress at a diner in LA and would let Conner finish his homework there before heading home. His life would later change when the Outworld invasion happened as he bore witness to the massacre while his mother told him to run as she faced off against Baraka, Kotal and Mileena.

He hid in a dumpster as the fighting between them raged on to the point he feared that his mom was gonna lose but as soon as silence fell, he came out and found a frozen wasteland with all four gone. Conner was left alone in the invasion alongside dozens of orphans on the streets. He later ran off to a supermarket where he hid with dozens of survivors who came under the influence of a religious fanatic who claimed that the Outworld invasion was god judging them and so sacrificed a Special Forces soldier who was protecting the group to Tarkatans. Conner watched helplessly and isolated himself in the back hearing the pleas of people being sacrificed until he had enough and tried to them with Sonya Blade intervening as he ran away.

Conner spent the latter half of his childhood in a shelter for orphans who lost their parents during the invasion. There he befriended Jocelyn, a girl with musical talents, and regarded her as somewhat of an older sister to him. He later left the shelter when he became a teenager…

In his teen years, he used his powers to steal food from camps of Special Forces and later became a drug addict until he came to his senses during a robbery gone wrong when he was in his early 20′s. It was here that Kuai Liang spotted the young Cage and recruited him to the Lin Kuei. Conner trained with dozens of his students and while proficient in hand to hand combat alongside engineering, was known for his extraordinary marksmanship with firearms. He entered into a sexual relationship with Frost, one of Kuai Liang’s pupil, and the two had happy memories. Conner felt like he was seeing his life slip away fast and so he left the Lin Kuei despite the pleas of Frost.

After becoming a rising indie actor known for being in indie horror movies that got him Oscar nods, Conner was met by a recruiter named Naomi Stryker who offered him a position in a PMC outfit that was made up of disenfranchised Special Forces, Lin Kuei, and Black Dragon who formed the PMC known as Blue Dragon. This military outfit is privately hired by many corporations on the rise by trying to gain resources from Outworld and the result was them gaining tech on par with Special Forces. Conner accepted the offer as Blue Dragon gained the attention of Special Forces who later became their client and his path crossed with Johnny Cage, his father. Per the recommendations of CEO and commander, Cole Young, Conner was recruited into Cassie Cage’s team much to his chagrin. 

Personality:

Conner is known for his no nonsense and mature attitude akin to Sonya Blade yet also has a quiet demeanor and obeyed orders constantly while also placing walls on himself to keep others at bay alongside sharing some of Johnny’s dry humor as well albeit much darker and has a drone-like body language. He is described to be the assassin of the team and is known for his stealthy prowess thanks to his active camo suit. Conner also has no respect for Johnny Cage and follows orders from Cassie, Takeda, Jacqui, Jax or Sonya who has great admiration for with him being a fan of Sonya and Jax. His relationship with Cassie was more professional but became closer when he realized that he is her half-brother. Sonya and Conner were also particularly close as Conner opened up his true identity to her first over Johnny and Cassie.

Him and Kuai Liang share a mixed relationship with Conner being one of Kuai’s star pupils but also fought dishonorably at the same time using firearms during training yet Conner regarded Kuai as a second father. This personality in his days may have led to Frost being attracted to him. Although Kuai Liang regards Conner with distaste now that that he’s essentially a mercenary though has gotten over that realizing that perhaps the Lin Kuei weren’t suited for him. Despite all of this, Conner remains loyal to Kuai Liang.

Conner, like every other child or invasion kids was orphaned thanks to the Outrealm invasion, has signs of PTSD and is always afraid of going into supermarkets due to his experience. This vulnerable side of himself scares him as he aims to eliminate it sometimes.

Like his father, Conner is a bit of a ladies man. It’s been rumored he had flings with Mileena, Frost, Nitara, Kia, Skarlet, Tasia, D’Vorah, Jataaka, Kira, Tanya, Ashrah and Khameleon. He also shares his dry humor as well and his sass at the same time. 

AU’s

Hazbin Hotel AU: Conner was killed in the new era during an engagement against Bi-Han and somehow ended up in Hell. He soon became a Sinner with his form resembling an Arctic fox and plans to get out so he can return to service. Currently he lives in an apartment where he continues his plans and sometimes goes to parties.

Scott Pilgrim AU: Back in high school, Conner began to date a mysterious girl named Ramona Flowers in his senior year. Ramona became one of the earliest people who knew his powers and the two were nearly close to hitting it off. That is until Ramona had to move due to her parents moving somewhere else. Years later, Conner was asked to join the League Of Seven Evil Exes but failed the training process cause he wasn’t “evil enough” and thanks to Kuai Liang, he realized that he didn’t need Ramona. Conner still keeps contact with her and became her best friend when things get dicey.

Eddie Carlton and the Fractured Hourglass

Time didn’t work here.

Mara—or the thing that had once been Mara—crouched in the dust of the screaming desert. The glass shards beneath her feet reflected a sky that wasn’t there. Eddie’s shadow loomed, jagged and infinite, whispering in a language that bent her ribs inward.

“They’re coming,” it said. “Through the cracks.”

Day One

Dr. Felix Varga, a theoretical physicist specializing in temporal anomalies, received a package. No return address. Inside: a vial of black sand and a note scrawled in Mara’s handwriting:

“Find the Hourglass.”

The sand moved when he wasn’t looking.

Day Three

Nexus Biotech’s last surviving board member, Eleanor Roth, convened a secret summit. Satellite images showed a structure in the Gobi Desert—a spiraling obsidian monolith, growing.

“It’s not a building,” Varga said, staring at the data. “It’s a clock. And it’s counting down.”

Roth’s reply was icy. “Burn it.”

The military strike team never returned.

Day Six

Varga dreamt of Eddie.

In the dream, they stood in a forest of frozen lightning. Eddie’s skin peeled back, revealing gears made of bone.

“You’re asking the wrong question,” Not-Eddie said. “It’s not what we are. It’s when.”

Varga woke with a migraine—and a third eye weeping black fluid on his palm.

Day Nine

The monolith doubled in size. Journalists who got too close reported phantom cities flickering on the horizon. A CNN crew filmed their producer walking into a mirage. She never came back.

Varga’s team arrived at the site. The sand here was magnetic. So were their teeth.

Day Twelve

They found the entrance.

The interior defied physics—rooms stacked inside rooms, inverted staircases, a lab where corpses floated in zero gravity, frozen mid-scream. A nameplate on a desk read: Dr. Mara Cole.

Varga’s tech, Lena, touched a corpse. It crumbled to dust. “They’re not dead,” she said. “They’re… unmade.”

Day Fifteen

Lena began aging backward.

First her hair turned blonde. Then her wrinkles vanished. By nightfall, she was a toddler, babbling in a dead dialect.

“It’s not a disease,” Varga radioed Roth. “It’s entropy. Running in reverse.”

Static. Then Eddie’s voice: “Wrong again, Doctor.”

Day Eighteen

The team’s linguist, Amir, translated symbols on the monolith’s walls.

“It’s a story,” he said. “About a king who swallowed time. His people built a machine to cut it out of him. But the machine ate them instead.”

Amir’s hands shook. “The last line says: ‘The Hourglass is his throat.’”

That night, Amir vanished. Varga found his notes. The margins screamed: “IT’S IN THE WALLS IT’S IN THE WALLS IT’S IN—”

Day Twenty-One

Varga reached the core.

The Hourglass wasn’t a machine. It was a hole—a vortex of spinning glass and screaming light. At its edge stood Eddie, his body flickering between ages: a child, a corpse, a star.

“You’re late,” Eddie said.

“What are you?” Varga demanded.

Eddie grinned with Mara’s teeth. “The question is, what will you be?”

He pushed Varga into the light.

Day Zero

Varga wakes up.

Or he doesn’t.

He’s everywhere. A boy in ancient Sumer, drowning in a river. A cosmonaut dissolving in the Van Allen Belt. A scientist in 2147, watching the sun collapse.

Eddie’s voice stitches through time: “You’re the story now. Tell it well.”

Day ?

The monolith vanishes.

In its place: a single grain of black sand. It multiplies. Spreads. Infects clocks, watches, the rhythm of heartbeats.

Somewhere, a child points to the sky and asks, “Why is it screaming?”

Her mother doesn’t answer.

She can’t hear it yet.

But she will.

The Real Cost of Living Comfortably in Melbourne: A Guide for New Residents 

If you're considering relocating to Melbourne, one of the most vibrant and livable cities in the world, you might find yourself asking, "how much does it cost to live comfortably in Melbourne?"  

Melbourne, celebrated for its rich cultural tapestry, thriving coffee scene, and remarkable architecture, comes with its own distinct financial challenges. 

Whether you're moving for work, study, or simply seeking a change of scenery, understanding Melbourne's cost of living is essential to ensure a smooth transition. 

Housing: The Largest Expense 

Housing is likely to be your biggest financial commitment when moving to Melbourne. The cost varies significantly depending on the suburb you choose and whether you opt for a house, apartment, or shared accommodation. According to recent data: 

Rent: A one-bedroom apartment in the city center costs approximately AUD 2,000 to AUD 2,500 per month, while the same apartment outside the city center ranges from AUD 1,500 to AUD 2,000. 

Utilities: Expect to spend around AUD 150 to AUD 250 per month for electricity, gas, and water. 

Internet: High-speed internet costs roughly AUD 70 to AUD 100 per month. 

For those looking to purchase property, the median house price in Melbourne is around AUD 900,000, while units cost approximately AUD 600,000. Suburbs like Carlton, Fitzroy, and South Yarra are popular but come with premium price tags. 

Transportation Costs 

Melbourne boasts an extensive public transport network, including trains, trams, and buses. Here's what you need to know: 

Public Transport: The myki card, used for all public transport, costs AUD 10 for the card itself. A monthly unlimited travel pass within Zones 1 and 2 is approximately AUD 165. 

Owning a Car: If you plan to drive, factor in fuel costs averaging AUD 1.90 per liter, annual registration fees of about AUD 850, and car insurance ranging from AUD 800 to AUD 1,200 annually. 

Cycling: Melbourne is bike-friendly, with dedicated lanes and trails. A quality bicycle can be purchased for AUD 300 to AUD 1,000. 

Groceries and Dining Out 

Groceries in Melbourne are relatively affordable compared to other global cities. On average, a single person spends about AUD 300 to AUD 400 per month on groceries. Popular supermarket chains include Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi. Here are some typical prices: 

Milk (1 liter): AUD 1.50 

Bread (loaf): AUD 3 

Eggs (dozen): AUD 5 

Chicken breast (1kg): AUD 10 to AUD 12 

Dining out can vary widely depending on your preferences. A meal at an inexpensive restaurant costs around AUD 20, while a three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant is approximately AUD 100. Melbourne's renowned coffee culture means you’ll likely spend AUD 4 to AUD 5 per cup at local cafes. 

Healthcare Costs 

Australia has a robust healthcare system, with both public (Medicare) and private options. If you’re a permanent resident or citizen, Medicare covers most medical services at no direct cost. For others, health insurance is essential: 

Private Health Insurance: Premiums range from AUD 100 to AUD 300 per month, depending on coverage. 

Out-of-Pocket Costs: A standard GP visit costs around AUD 50 to AUD 100 without Medicare, though many clinics offer bulk billing. 

Education Costs 

For families moving to Melbourne, education expenses are a significant consideration. Public schools are free for Australian citizens and permanent residents, though there may be minimal costs for uniforms and extracurricular activities. International students can expect to pay: 

Public Schools: AUD 5,000 to AUD 10,000 per year 

Private Schools: AUD 15,000 to AUD 35,000 per year 

Higher Education: Tuition fees for international students at universities like the University of Melbourne range from AUD 30,000 to AUD 45,000 annually. 

Entertainment and Lifestyle 

Melbourne offers a wide array of entertainment options, from world-class theaters and museums to sports and outdoor activities. Budgeting for leisure is crucial: 

Movies: AUD 20 per ticket 

Gym Memberships: AUD 60 to AUD 100 per month 

Concerts and Events: AUD 50 to AUD 200 per ticket, depending on the event 

Sports Matches: AFL games cost AUD 25 to AUD 60 per ticket 

Free activities like exploring the Royal Botanic Gardens, St Kilda Beach, or the vibrant laneways of the CBD can also enrich your experience without impacting your budget. 

Miscellaneous Expenses 

Other costs to consider include: 

Clothing: Prices are comparable to other developed countries, with a pair of jeans costing around AUD 80 and a mid-range dress about AUD 100. 

Mobile Plans: Expect to pay AUD 30 to AUD 60 per month for a standard mobile plan with data. 

Childcare: For families with young children, daycare can cost AUD 90 to AUD 150 per day. 

Budgeting Tips for New Residents 

Choose Suburbs Wisely: Research suburbs that offer a good balance of affordability and proximity to work or school. Suburbs like Brunswick, Footscray, and Coburg are popular for their affordability and vibrant communities. 

Utilize Public Transport: Save on transportation by relying on Melbourne's efficient public transit system. 

Shop Smart: Take advantage of weekly specials at supermarkets and local farmers’ markets. 

Monitor Energy Use: Reduce utility costs by being energy-efficient, such as using LED lights and minimizing heater/AC usage. 

Final Thoughts 

So, how much does it cost to live comfortably in Melbourne? While it depends on your lifestyle and choices, a single person should budget at least AUD 3,000 to AUD 4,000 per month, including rent, utilities, groceries, and transportation. For families, this figure can rise to AUD 6,000 or more. 

By understanding these costs and planning accordingly, you can make the most of your new life in Melbourne, enjoying all the incredible opportunities this city has to offer.

Hugo Gomes untuk Dewa United

Bangg sih, ada pemain yang sekelas Hugo Gomes, pernah satu tim dengan Gabriel Jesus yang pernah main di Arsenal berkiprah di liga Indonesia. Apalagi tak hanya satu, ada beberapa. Contoh lainnya adalah Ciro Alves.

Di tahun 2017, liga Indonesia pernah merumput pemain sekelas Michael Essien dan Carlton Cole. Bahkan, Marco Motta pun masih berkiprah di liga Indonesia.

Sering-sering saja seperti itu. Persepakbolaan Indonesia akan semakin maju. Makin banyak pemain mancanegara makin banyak yang dinaturalisasi, pembinaan usia muda tetap jalan, bukan mungkin persepakbolaan Indonesia akan seperti Inggris.

Dulu persepakbolaan Inggris seperti itu. Sempat dikritik karena terlalu banyak pemain asing di English Premier League. Lambat laun, sekarang, English Premier League menjadi liga nomor satu di dunia.

Persepakbolaan Jepang dulu juga seperti itu. Bibit-bibit unggul seperti Kaoru Mitoma tumbuh dan berkembang di tengah-tengah membanjirnya pemain-pemain asing di J-League.
