The rumors of Lil Tay's passing were as fleeting as the smoke of a forgotten fire. Yet what had transpired between that fateful day and this musty chair in the far-flung interview room remained shrouded in a haze of unanswered questions. No one knew what had, or had not, been said under the weight of a relentless and piercing glare. All that could be known was that the Lil Tay of now was not the Lil Tay of then, the aftermath of death and rebirth inextricably intertwined and perhaps ultimately unknowable.

AO3 Part One Masterlist

This is what you had been waiting for. Three days. Three entire days she had been away from the base. But now? Now she was finally back. The aircraft slowly opened to reveal her and several other operatives. A bouncy but tired smile was on her face and when she saw your presence she gave you a small wave. That wave was short-lived when she slowly made her way down to her. In the presence of your superiors, you wouldn’t do anything but the tension would make it so much worse. “Hey, how was your one-on-one training with the squad?” Tina asked and started to walk towards the showers, you next to her.

“Your a dead one Tsang.” Your teeth were glued together as you spat at her. Her brows raised in surprise and walked a little faster.

“Do I get to know specifically why?” She didn’t seem all too worried about the situation.

“Yeah, you want to tell me how  Nøkk just happened to find out how I feel about her?” Tina stopped in her tracks and turned towards you. A guilty look had spread across her face. The jig was up.

“Look the pair of you felt the same about each other. There was no reason not to tell her. I’m your wingman.”

“No offence Tina but you're the last person to be someone's wingman. You don’t even care about relationships or people's love lives. Or gossip. Or, well, most things that aren't work.”

“Hey! I care about you. Your my friend and I wanted to see you happy. Speaking of being happy, if you know that I told Nøkk that means that she told you which also means that something happened?” Operatives walked passed the pair of you while you tapped your foot and rolled your head on your neck.

“Perhaps.”

“Nice. See, went all according to plan.”

“You had a plan?”

“Yeah, not as finely tuned as I had hoped but I understand that you have to let things like this feel natural. Anyway, so what happened?”

“Mmm, some things that aren’t exactly uh regulation.” She raised a brow at your statement and the pair of you started to walk again, all played up hostilities gone.

“Would you like to elaborate on that?”

“Come on Tina, you know what I mean.” She hummed while she worked but ultimately didn’t give you a proper answer. She was still waiting. “Fine, we are… together.” She gave you a massive grin and you lightly hit her with the back of your wrist. “But you have to keep it like on the down low. Just pretend the pair of us are good friends. An actual secret. Not like the shittily kept one with Yumiko and Jack.”

“Don’t worry, it's far easier to excuse two women hanging out. You will be fine.”

“I mean it's Nøkk, she's a secretive woman. She hasn’t said anything about it but like I can tell she doesn’t want anyone to know. Neither of us wants to be a liability for the other.”

“What about Harry? Or Elena? She’s pretty close with Elena. Perhaps this is something the pair of you two should talk about.” Tina had a big pause as the pair of you neared the locker room. “Or do the pair of you not manage to talk anymore?” She winked and you pushed her lightly into the room.

“Shut up and go take a shower. Your the worst.” You rolled your eyes in fake annoyance and Tina laughed, splitting away from you.

-

At the end of the day, you found yourself at Nøkk’s door, Tina’s words circling in your mind. The door promptly opened and revealed your partner. She was out of her usual get-up, only in a baggy hood and jeans while her veil had been lazily put on under the hood. It was certainly a rushed job but concealed her identity nonetheless. “Hey.” Nøkk leaned on the doorframe.

“Mind if I come in, I wanna talk.” Nøkk flinched slightly at your words put pushed off the doorframe to grant you entry. Her room was a lot more detailed than you had originally thought it to be. Not the neatest but not very messy. Very lived in. A vase of flowers sat on her desk next to several different silencers. Nøkk’s bed was made but had creases from someone sitting on it.

“Make yourself at home.” There was a seriousness behind her voice and she gestured towards the free bed while she took the office chair that had been tucked into her desk. After following her physical instructions you sat on the bed with your hands in your lap.

“I want to talk about us.”

“Figured.”

“I just wanted to find out any ground rules, things I shouldn’t do. What you're comfortable with, you know with the whole identity thing and work. Stuff like that.”

“Oh.” Her voice was small before she let out a big sigh. “Oh! That's, yeah we can do that.” Your brows furrowed at her relieved state.

“What did you think I came to talk to you about?”

“You know, typically when someone says ‘we have to talk’ it normally gets followed by ‘it's not you, it's me’ or ‘we should see other people’.” Your mouth turned into an ‘o’ shape while your eyes became wide.

“I would be insane to break up with you. No, sorry. I, yeah now I think about it. That did sound pretty bad.” The sweet sound of her laugh came from behind her mask while her body relaxed at your words.

“Alright ground rules. I would prefer to keep this between the pair of us. I imagine a couple of operatives already know as supposedly the pair of us aren’t that very subtle.” She leaned back in the chair. “Most importantly, Harry, Sam and Taina know. For work's sake and compromisation. I don’t think Sam or Taina care but I imagine Harry will probably bring it up sometime.”

“Uhh, I’m not looking forward to that.”

“No?”

“That's awkward as hell Nøkk. It’s going to feel like I’m talking to like my mum.” She laughed.

“It’s not that bad, you know Harry is. He will be nice about it.”

“Still, ugh.” Nøkk was amused by your reluctance but moved on.

“In terms of not to do. The mask stays on. I would prefer if you don’t touch it but I know you can get a little lost when I’m down there.” Her words were light and playful and had a heat rise to your cheek at the memories. “As you probably figured out, I prefer to lead when it comes to intimacy. It’s just easier to go at the pace I like. If you're uncomfortable with anything though or want to stop just say ‘phone’.”

“Our safeword is phone?”

“We can go by  the traffic light system if you prefer.”

“Phone is fine, any story behind it?”

“Nothing makes you stop what your doing like a phone call.”

“I suppose so. Anything else?”

“Let me turn the light on.” The light was already on.

“What do you mean?” You gave her a confused look.

“When we spend the night together, in the morning my curtains block out any light so it will still be dark in here. Let me turn the light on when I’m ready.”

“That's going to be a hard habit to break. Especially when I’m half awake and not thinking but I will certainly try.”

“I slept very light and the lamp is on my side so I will be able to stop you.” She stood up from her chair and headed towards her wardrobe. “That being said, this does give me the perfect opportunity to test this out.” She hummed before she pulled out a little black box. She stood back up and placed it on her desk before she pulled out a long silky piece of fabric. “Remember what I said back then?” The fabric snapped twice as she pulled on it back and forth. “Mind if I get us a little more comfortable.”

“Go for it.” Her movements we slow and careful as she made her way over to the bed. It dipped under her weight and her knee made contact with yours while she sat next to you.

"Tell me if it's too tight or loose." Nøkk instructed as she wrapped the silk around your face. Your eyes fluttered close as it covered them and she secured it to your face. The tip of her finger tested the binding and you opened your eyes to see that it had completely cut off all vision. There wasn't even any light to peak through the bottom of it. "How's that?" Nøkks voice seemed slightly lower or perhaps you were just more aware of it.

"Good." Your fingers curled up in the fabric of her duvet and couldn't help but turn your head to hear better as she rustled about.

Contact came with your hand and you flinched slightly. Her movements were now so quiet. "It's just me." Her voice was soft and calm. There was a certain power imbalance with your blindness and while she loved it, Nøkk wanted to establish a level of trust. She wouldn't go any further until you had relaxed.

Her hand encased yours and slowly she directed it up until it made contact with her cool skin. A small hitch in your breath had the woman lightly chuckle under her breath while you started to explore her face. This was her boundary for now. Completely alert, any nervousness from your lack of vision soon faded while your hand lost itself on her face. Your free hand joined in the effect of mapping her face out but prioritised her hair instead.

"Short…" You mumbled from your mouth.

"Did you think it would be long?"

"I don't know, to be honest, I never thought about it. To me, your mask is your face." Your thumb brushed over her bottom lip and she used the opportunity to bite down on it. The bite wasn't particularly hard, just enough to trap your thumb. Her tongue started to lick at her prize and you couldn't help the heat that rushed to your face.

"Oh, the look on your face, little mouse." She giggled out and a second later she let go of your thumb and pushed your shoulders back onto the bed.

Sprayed out on her bed you couldn't see her mount you but you could feel her presence. Her knees touched the outside of your thighs while her hands pushed on the bed next to your head. "It must be my birthday." You could hear the grin in her voice seconds before her lips descended on yours.

Her lips tasted of strawberry gum, sweet and soft moulded against yours, tongue lapping against your own in what could only be described as pornographic kisses. You couldn't help but wonder if she always wore that black lipstick and if it had left any trace on you. Nøkks hands explored your body and found the bottom of your shirt. It was the only few seconds that you parted from each other so she could fling it somewhere else in her room.

Your bra was removed similarly to your shirt and soon her lips had latched onto one of your nipples while the other massaged your free breast. With your hand buried in her short hair. A light tug of her hair had her humming into your breast. Even though your eyes were covered, you couldn't help but squeeze your eyes shut, lost in her touch.

Surrounded by darkness, she was your everything. Her scent filled the entire room but not in a way to be overpowering. Her touch, it demanding so much attention. Her voice, those small hums and happy sounds of delight made your blood race. “Pretty thing aren’t you?” Nøkk hummed out, her voice vibrating against your skin as she pressed kisses down your torso until she met the top of your pants.

Nøkk’s finger curled into your sweatpants and let go. The snap of the waistband had you jump slightly much to her delight. “Nøkk.” Your voice was a whine, one of impatience and the effect of her teases.

“Yes, dear?” Her voice was almost sing-song-like.

“Please.” Once again her touch snuck under your waistband and danced around the top.

“I’m not a mind reader.” She purred in your ear. Despite her words, she slowly pulled down your sweats and your underwear to expose the rest of you. Then she was gone. A deep breath of air escaped your lips and the cool air daunted your skin. Without your presence you slowly curled up slightly, your legs pressed together and to the side. They curved on the bed while one of your arms draped over your chest. A tuttering next to your head had you snap towards the sound where Nøkk brushed her knuckles over your cheek. "No hiding." She whispered only to disappear again.

The sudden contact of her bare hands on your thighs had you jump. Nøkk was a ghost in the room and she had finally decided when to appear. Settled in between your legs, she kissed the insides of your thighs before one of her slender fingers slipped between your already soaking folds. The finger only played between your folds enough for her finger to be covered in your arousal before it left.

There was the light sound of her sucking said finger in your mouth. Like someone testing the icing on a cake. A moment later, a cold plastic object made contact with your clit and just rested on it. "Ready?" You opened your mouth to answer her question but all sound died when she switched the wand on.

Nøkk adjusted its placement slightly and it was suddenly on that exact spot, right on the perfect place on your clit. An inhuman sound ripped from your mouth and your hand flew to her head which casually rest on your thigh. You could almost feel her eyes on you while the vibrations and movements from the wand worked you. Her free finger dipped inside of you rather lazily to coat her finger before she popped it in her mouth again.

"You know I never understood why people would take pictures during sex." Nøkk started, her voice rather casual but had a hint of playfulness behind it.

"Wh huh?" You mumbled out, head too lost in pleasure to properly think."

"Taking photos in sex. It's so risky, anyone could find it and why would you ever want anyone else to see your partner in such a state? But I understand now."

"Y-you do?"

"Mhmm. If I could preserve this image forever I would. My goddess spread out all for me. A piece of art honestly."

"Nøkk…" you gasped when two of her fingers penetrated you and slowly started to fuck you with them.

"Have you on every wall of my house. Then this one? Have it directly above my bed. One massive picture." Your hand burrowed itself in her hair and you gave it a light tug while your thighs quivered, threatening to shut.

"Do you like that idea? My beautiful darling." Her fingers retreated from you so they could use that hand to pin your thigh down. A cry left your mouth when she suddenly turned up the setting. "Oh, I understand if you don't. You like being for my eyes only don't you? Mmm, all to myself."

A whine left your lips and once again you tugged on her hair. "That's it, I've got you. Just let go for me." Nøkks purrs sending you over the edge causing you to arch your back and dig your heels into her mattress.

"So perfect, just like that." You pulled on her hair and she finally gave in. She turned off the wand and set it to the side and his lips graced your cunt with a kiss. Careful not to overstimulate you, her tongue tasted you but didn't make any attempt to touch your clit.

"You have the most perfect thighs did you know that?" Her voice vibrated against you and she smiled when you whine, completely drunk on pleasure.

Nøkk disconnected herself from your body and you eventually felt a shift in the bed. Then you felt something rather wet against your thigh. Her legs mounted your thigh while the top of her knee pressed against your cunt. Her bare flesh against your own was far warmer than it was before and you couldn't help but feel a little vulnerable knowing that she could see you in all your entirety but you couldn't see her.

Nøkks wet cunt ground down on your thigh, the action also rubbing your cunt with her knee at the same time. An angelic moan blessed from her mouth and you couldn't help but imagine her naked body on yours, head back in pleasure. Her cunt ground down in a smooth pattern, a constant set of motions that the pair of you both smiling in bliss. You could have sworn your heart stopped for a moment when she moaned out your name, no longer completely focused on you she was now chasing her high. A high that in the process would bring you to your own. Her arousal had coated your thigh while you did the same on her leg. You couldn't help but reach up, making contact with her leg. Not enough to stop her or anything, just enough to get a nice grip.

Small little moans that came from Nøkk’s mouth became ever louder. Not loud enough to be considered screens or yells but certainly loud enough for them to echo in the room. Her gasps mixed with joyful laughter as he came. Her legs shut around your thigh and trapped it in place while she fell forward. Her naked form pressed against your own, her skin lightly sweaty and rather smooth. Her breath panted in your ear while her head lay on your shoulder and slowly recovered from her high. “Mmm.” She pressed a kiss against your neck and snuggled closer for a moment. Something ticked in her mind and reach up and away from you for a moment. A small click could be heard and then the brief sound of her curtains closing.

Too relaxed and a little tired out, you didn’t move much when you felt her gentle hands slide the blindfold off your face. You were met with complete and utter darkness. It was essentially the same as having the blindfold on but there was something different about not having that fabric there. With the room dark, she moved off your body slightly so that only half of it was on you. Your head turned to face her despite not being able to see her. Your hand came up to feel for her until you managed to settle it on her face and cup her cheek. She leaned into your hand and your lips leaned to meet hers. A smile on both your faces as the pair of you shared that kiss.

Episode Review: ‘Wizard City’ (Distant Lands, Ep. 4)

Airdate: September 2, 2021

Story by: Adam Muto, Jack Pendarvis, Kate Tsang, Hanna K. Nyström, & Charley Feldman

Storyboarded by: Maya Petersen, Hanna K. Nyström, Anna Syvertsson, & Aleks Sennwald, & Haewon Lee

Directed by: Miki Brewster & Jeff Liu (supervising), Sandra Lee (art)

An episode focusing on Peppermint Butler’s dark side is something that the fandom has craved ever since the little guy demanded Finn and Jake’s flesh in season two’s “Death in Bloom.” While installments like season five’s “The Suitor” and season six’s “Nemesis” did much to scratch that itch, the story of the Dark One remained mostly unknown…

And after “Wizard City,” it still remains largely unknown. But that’s OK, because instead of focusing on the character’s history, this special focuses on Peps’ quest to relearn magic at a magic school. Put most simply, this special is largely a fun excuse for the show to riff on Harry Potter and The Owl House-style “magic school hijinks,” and it mostly all works.

The special follows Peps quest to go to WizArts (a definite play on CalArts, the school that Pen Ward and Adam Muto, among many others, went to) so that he can relearn magic and once again become one of the greatest dark wizards of his time. Initially, Peps tries to make friends with cool kid Spader and his posse, but once they learn that Peps is not as talented at magic as they had initially thought, they kick him to the curb. It is at this point that Cadebra, Abracadaniel’s adorkable niece who is fascinated with stage magic, enters the picture. Cadebra tries everything in her power to befriend Peps, but Peps pushes back, since she’s not “cool.” It does not matter, though, because both Peps and Cadebra are sorted into the same “house”—the “Skink House—and are forced to work together.

While Peps and his cohort begin learning more and more complex magic, a secret cult of school professors, led by the otherwise caring Dr. Caledonius, are scheming to resurrect Coconteppi, a powerful dark wizard whose putrid heart has been discovered underneath the school excreting a very powerful ichor. The school cult kidnaps Spader and gives him some of the ichor to drink; they hope that because of his talent, he will be able to house the spirit of Coconteppi. This does not go as planned, and Spader is graphically killed (albeit off screen). (In a more humorous moment, Bufo, the scam wizard from season one’s “Wizard,” also ingests some of the ichor, believing himself powerful enough to handle it, but it kills him.)

Eventually Peps and Cadebra learn what is going on. Dr. Caledonius welcomes Peps, believing that he is strong enough to handle the ichor. When Cadebra’s life is put in danger, Peps reluctantly gives the putrid fluid a swig, which infuses him with the power of Coconteppi. Coconteppi-Peps then kills all the cult members before Cadebra manages to remove the ichor from Peps body. For uncovering a heinous plot, Peps is promoted to the highest house, “Salamander,” but he decides to remain a Skink and learn magic “the hard way” with Cadebra as his friend.

As I mentioned near the start of this review, “Wizard City” spends most of its time riffing on the “magic boarding school” trope, with much of the episode feeling like a light-hearted parody of Harry Potter: The characters, after all, are “sorted” into “houses,” they learn various types of magic from skilled “professors,” and they bunk in different parts of a large castle-like campus. Of course, Harry Potter didn’t invent the idea of a boarding school, but when setting your story in a school for magic, it is very hard not to lean at least somewhat into the Hogwarts relation. And this really is a double-edged sword, for while Harry Potter references can be fun here and there, they can also make the overall story feel like a fanfic parody. This special does a good job focusing more so on the characters rather than the setting, but I won’t lie, at times it did feel as if they show was really trying to make you realize it was making a Harry Potter joke.

Of all the characters introduced in the special, the breakout star is easily Cadebra, voiced by Chloe Coleman. Radiating a sort of Mabel Pines energy, Cadebra is the beam of optimism who shines brightly in an otherwise macabre special. There is something about her plucky personality and sense of wacky individualism that charms the viewer. I appreciate how the show compared and contrasted her with her uncle, the one and only Abracadaniel: like her uncle, Cadebra is a good person who wants to help others, but unlike Abracadaniel, she has a sense of courage and fortitude that results in her taking on a Coconteppi-possessed Peps at the episode’s climax. (Say what you will, Abracadaniel stans, but our favorite custodian would never have done that!) Thanks to her bravery and dedication to Peps, Cadebra is easily the heart of the special.

The episode throws an interesting little curveball into the mix by having the ‘ghost’ of Past Peppermint Butler constantly haunt Peps in the here-and-now. Past Peppermint, it seems, was so determined to become a great wizard, he cursed himself, so that if anything were to go awry, his Past self could materialize and set him straight. It’s confusing, but I do think that mixing the “overbearing parent” trope with a curse is a clever idea; it gives the whole special some dramatic heft. The whole setup is made even funnier by the special’s conclusion: After Future Peppermint Butler is ‘defeated’ and the day is saved, Peps reveals to Cadebra that he still wants to be a great and powerful dark wizard… but he wants to earn that power through hard work and determination. (Peppermint Butler might commune with demons, but he would never sell his soul to one for power; Glob helps those who help themselves, ya know?)

One of the special’s strongest points is its background art. Adventure Time always had some beautiful set pieces, and this special goes above and beyond to give WizArts an ancient sense of grandeur and mystery. Ghostshrimp, a freelance artist who was the show’s lead background designer during seasons 1-4, return for this special as a “visual developer”—basically, he mocked up a bunch of rough designs for the locales, and then the episode’s background artists worked up the final pieces in his style. On his podcast, Ghostshrimp mentioned how hectic he found Adventure Time to be, because he was used to taking his time on pieces. As such, the decision to bring him on for just development was smart, as it allowed him to still come up with iconic background designs while also playing fast and loose with everything. Hopefully the show will continue this approach with the Fionna and Cake miniseries that is coming up. After all, Ghosthsrimp’s style is the look of Adventure Time.

Another strong point for the episode is its voice acting. For one thing, you have your regulars like Tom Kenny and Dana Snyder, and Duncan Trussell, who all give a solid performance. But to voice many of the special’s new characters, the show brought on a bevy of fun actors: Saturday Night Live’s Bill Hader, for instance, is now voicing Bufo, and he does a solid job hamming up his role as the old fogey. And then there’s Toks Olagundoye, whose British accent gives Dr. Caledonius a sense of knowledge and expertise. To my delight and surprise, SungWon Cho, an internet personality and voice actor perhaps better known as ProZD, was tapped to voice Brain Wizard, and he does an excellent job. And finally, Anthony Stewart Head, a very talented actor who I know best as Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, voices Con Wizard, and is even given a fun little ditty to sing. I can safely say that the voice acting in this special is likely the best of the bunch, and it’s obvious that the actors were all having a great time playing their parts.

What drags the whole thing down, in my opinion is the excessive murder. (I joked on Twitter that during the climax of “Wizard City,” it felt like I was watching an Adventure Time-ified version of Invincible!) Infused with the power of Coconteppi, Peps goes on a brutal killing spree, boiling Potable Wizard into steam, zapping Dimension Wizard into another plane of existence, smashing Berdzerd, and—perhaps most graphically—excerebrates (had to look that word up!) Brain Wiz. On Twitter, @sometipsygnostalgic​ argued that while, yes, the scene is startling, it does wonders to transmute “a poor Summer Camp Island knockoff [into] Adventure Time chaos.” The more I think about it, the more I think that’s a fair point; after all, this is hardly the first dark thing that has happened in Adventure Time. But the part that I cannot really stomach is the fact that Spader was murdered for no real reason, and the special ends without anyone really expressing their horror at the situation. Sure, Spader was a schoolyard bully, but he was also a child. And killing a child—either for the drama or the lulz—feels decidedly out of place in an Adventure Time episode. It’s hard to express, but it just felt unnecessarily nihilistic and mean-spirited.

All things considered, I think this was a fun episode, but it was somewhat underwhelming for a ‘finale.’ Much of this is because it had to air after the perfection that was the back-to-back “Obsidian”/”Together Again” wombo combo. But I can’t help but feel like this special just felt a little... off. A little too meanspirited, and it leaned a bit too much on standard tropes. Still, it was a fun spin, and I know that I’ll rewatch it.

Mushroom War Evidence: As Peps rides the bus to school, he passes a bunch of abandoned houses, some of which are buried in the ground. There is an unexploded bomb above the fossilized elephant in the school. Cadebra has a dream that takes place in the ruins of a city.

Final Grade: B+

FredFilms promises...

Creators first.

I've always believed that we owe you, our fans and now at FredFilms we all take it as gospel. We owe you our best work, of course. But beyond we examine everything about ourselves constantly, to assure ourselves and you that we’re trying to stay on the right track. To that end, whatever work I’ve done –whether it be in the music business, the network television business, and certainly, cartoons– has been done with making public promises that try and assure you that we’ll deliver.

To that end, I thought it would be good to print out a new set of our limited edition postcards to make the FredFilms promises completely clear. This one’s the first.

As throughout my entire cartoon career, and now at FredFilms, it’s been my  mission to let exceptional creators do their thing. We’re not in the business of micro-managing our creative talent. Instead, we seek out and nurture creators who have a story they need to tell and give them as much room as possible to tell it.. We go to festivals, art schools, comedy clubs, and explore the dustiest corners of the internet to find folks we know we have to work with.

We believe there are new stories to be told. 

We promise.

.....

It might seem extreme, but I thought it might be interesting to list all of the creators that have worked on my productions, starting in 1995 with What A Cartoon! at Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network in 1995. If you look at any of the 140 individual links (!) you’ll see that almost all of them have had estimable careers in cartoons or animation adjacent (comics, video games, VFX and the like). Some have created hit series with me, some without (sigh!) and some have become quite famous. One way or the other, they’ve all been amazing.

Rechungpa

Rechungpa

(ras chung pa/ ras chung rdo rje grags pa, 1084-1161)

Milarepa instructed him: You should practice tummo, the inner heat practice, inorder to develop realization. You should also wear only cotton clothing. For food you should eat only of meditation (of samadi).lf you can do this you will be free of many obstacles and be able to benefit beings. You shouldn't stay in one place for too long and keep moving from one place to another and forget all about the eight worldly dharmas. You should impart the instructions of the oral lineage to individuals with faith and not impart them to someone who does not have faith in the dharma.

Rechungpa aka Rechung Dorje Dragpa is one important patriarch of the Kagyu lineages. His name means 'small cotton clad' in comparison with his Master Milarepa. The so-called "moon-like“ disciple and foremost heart son of Milarepa. He met Milarepa at the age of eleven and spent many years studying and practising under the guidance of his master. He was a Repa (ras pa) like Milarepa, unlike Gampopa, who was a fully ordained monk. At one time he even was married to a local princess for a while, before taking to the homeless life of a wandering yogin again. Rechungpa travelled to India three times and obtained teachings and transmissions which Marpa had not managed to receive in his time. In fact he was prophecied by Naropa, who said to Marpa that a descendant of his lineage would eventually come to receive more instructions on certain teachings. In particular he received the entire “nine-fold cycle of the formless Dakinis”, the lus med mkha' 'gro skor dgu, of which Marpa had received only five parts, from Tiphupa. Upon Rechungpa's return to Tibet, he presented these teachings to Milarepa. Milarepa transmitted the entire cylce to Ngendzong Repa (ngan dzong ras pa byang chub rgyal po 12th cent.), another of his "Eight Great Sons", who composed arrangements and commentaries on it. His lineage became known as the bde mchog snyan brgyud. Rechungpa's lineage of this cycle, focussing on the practice of Chakrasamvara, is preserved in a corpus of teachings known as the “hearing lineage of Rechungpa”, the ras chung snyan brgyud. Both streams were later re-united by Tsang Nyon Heruka (gtsang smyon he ru ka 1452-1507). Nowadays these teachings are practiced mainly within the Drukpa Kagyu ('brug pa bka' brgyud) school, and by a subsect of the Karma Kagyu, the Surmang Kagyu. Rechungpa’s main teachers in India were the Mahasiddhas Tiphupa and Walacandra. From Walacandra he received many Vajrapani tantras. He also studied under Sumatikirti, from whom he received transmissions and instructions on Jinasagara (rgyal ba rgya mtsho), a red form of Avalokiteshvara which was to become one of the major yidam practices in some of the Kagyu lineages. Back in Tibet he met the Nepalese master Balpo Asu, from whom he received Mahamudra transmissions. Several biographies for Rechungpa exist, the most extensive one authored by Gotsang Repa Natsog Rangdrol, a student of Tsang Nyon Heruka.

Now, without wanting to belittle the great achievments of Je Gampopa in the least, it has to be pointed out that Rechungpa has been consistently mispresented in Tibetan history, especially that of the various Kagyu lineages. The majority of historians of the Kagyu lineages who wrote after the 15th century, and who were invariably members of one or the other of the established dwags po bka' brgyud schools, i.e. the schools that trace their lineage back to Gampopa, naturally had an interest to represent their "founder" as THE main student of Milarepa. Having become powerful and influential, both politically and economically, it did not sit too well with them to admit that Gampopa actually was not mentioned at all among the closest students of Milarepa in some of the early biographies of Milarepa and Rechungpa (several of which were deemed lost but have come to light again in recent years, such as the works authored by don mo ri pa, rgya ldang pa bde chen rdo rje, mon rtse kun dga' dpal ldan, Lama Zhang and the 3rd Karmapa rang byung rdo rje etc.), but merely as one of "six scholarly students who appeared late in Milarepa's life" (see "bzhad pa rdo rje'i rnam thar mgur mching dang bcas pa" also known as "bu chen bcu gnyis", much of it written by ngan dzong ras pa byang chub rgyal po and ras pa zhi ba 'od, two other prominent students of Milarepa). On top of that, both Milarepa and Rechungpa often seem to have severely critcised monasticism and its establishments, again a fact that is hard to accept and repeat for members of any of the surviving Kagyu schools which are predominantly of a monastic nature. From the materials available again nowadays, it is very clear that Rechungpa was Milarepa's undisputed master student and lineage holder and that Milarepa passed on the entirety of his teachings to him, whereas other students, Gampopa among them, received only introductions and general outlines of teachings which Rechungpa had received in full. After Milarepa's passing Gampopa even requested, and received, some transmissions from Rechungpa which he had not managed to get from Milarepa before. Likewise, one of Gampopa's foremost students, the 1st Karmapa dus gsum mkhyen pa (1110-1193) went into the presence of Rechungpa and requested transmissions from him. Lingje Repa Pema Dorje (1128-1188), one of the founders of the Drugpa Kagyu lineage, attempted to meet Rechungpa but reached at his residence only the year after he had passed away (in 1162). He then proceeded to study under Rechungpa's students Khyungtsangpa and Sumton. For more, please refer to the available Tibetan sources or to Peter Roberts' masterful doctoral thesis "The Biographies of Rechungpa - The Evolution of a Tibetan Hagiography", Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford, Oct. 2000, or to his very recent publication "Biographies of Rechungpa"

What if Kate and Bruce were born around the same time? What if the tragedies that made them the heroes they become, also happened around the same time? What if the two of them ended up living together? What if the two of them ended up as huge theater nerds? What if they had some actual healthy coping mechanisms along side their totally not super unhealthy vigilante detective hobby that nearly kills them on a weekly basis? What if everything wasn't a shitty cheap ass drama show written by racist, misogynist, homophobic, all the bad ism's and phobia's and ist's?

(No disrespect to the individuals who try to give us good diverse content. Actually, all the respect because DC as whole is a weak dumb ass bitch and kudos to those people for tolerating that bastard.)

Here is my sad, pathetic attempt to fix the DC universe that I am very much under qualified and under prepared for. Enjoy. (And I'll get to finishing the relationship tags soon, it's just not on the agenda right about now. There is just so many fucking characters. The character tags are technically unfinished because that won't be all of the characters showing up. Do I really hate myself and DC that much?)

[a-rebellious-waffle]

In Exact Detail

Specialist Tina "Frost" Lin Tsang could recall the moment in perfect detail, right down to the clock on the wall showing sixteen-forty two hours. The waiters moving about inside the cafe, wearing black and white with red bow-ties and white aprons tucked into their faux leather waistbands. The coffee in her right hand, pleasantly warm but not hot enough to be even mildly uncomfortable, with just a pinch of milk to dilute the taste into something tolerable, sitting in a white porcelain cup with a gilded crack running down the side that Yumiko had gifted her so long ago, on a bygone op against a long-dead foe. The wooden table that her left hand was resting on, the light, calloused hand that her own hand was grasping, it's thumb running over her nail polish delicately. The red-and-white sweatshirt she wore providing just enough warmth to still be cold when the door opened and a stray gust washed over her. The concealed pistol in her bag pushing in on her back as she stood. The unsettling awareness of just how quickly she seemed to be breathing.

"Can I... do something?" she asked the man across from her. His standard issue Spetsnaz shirt was a dull green color. His hair was close to black, close-cut to the point where it was almost shaved clean. Muscles rippled across his arms that she just knew could be so tender, so delicate. Cat-like eyes gazed back at her as he nodded.

"Go ahead."

She clasped his hand and leaned in, wrapping her right arm around his neck, pressing her face close to his with just the slightest tilt, and she kissed him.

As soon as it happened, too soon yet desperately long in coming, she knew she would remember it forever. It was her first time ever kissing romantically, for one, and secondly, it was him. Kapkan. Her male Russian counterpart. God above, how she had wanted this moment for so long. The gentle crush of their lips was somehow just like what she had dreamed and better.

Kapkan made a small sound at the back of his throat, like a possessive groan. It sounded... sexy. She wanted him to be hers even more now, if that was even possible (she, to be frank, couldn't tell by now), as his hand snaked around her lower back and gave her support. A small squeak of pleasure escaped her.

If she had been told by anyone that somewhere, someday, she would be in love with member of the Spetsnaz a year ago, she likely would have laughed it off. But now? Now.... Now time seemed like it wasn't passing and it was passing way too quickly, like reality was warping around them and the timestream shattering like it might have in Destiny 2. An idle part of her mind thought about what her Guardian would have to say about her newfound relationship- what the mighty Kaara Torii, Slayer of Oryx, Crota's End, Killer of Xol, Extinction of Nokris, Rivensbane and Cursebreaker, would think of embracing your rival as your lover. A silly thought, to be sure, but what can your mind do when in such a perplexing state but think perplexing thoughts?

Somehow, she found she didn't mind the onlookers- that is, if there were any. Were there? Maybe. Maybe not. Who was to say? This was Russia and things were different from Canada here- none of the tidbits of customs and information made much sense to her addled mind. Thinking clearly, she knew and understood, but as she was, preoccupied with love? It was little more than background noise.

Time warped and reality coagulated back to normal as the two broke apart, neither speaking, neither wanting to go or move or do anything that wasn't with the other. The only limits were their lung capacity. She wanted to rest her head on his shoulder or his chest, but she contented herself with leaning back in his arms. One hand was placed on his chest and stayed there.

"I love you, Tina," Maxim growled softly. She smiled, love-drunk herself.

"I love you too," she whispered back. The coffee was left on the table, already paid for, as the two left the cafe, arms interlocked, and headed for the car that had brought them.

The car ride was done in amicable silence. Neither knew what to say. Neither particularly wanted to speak, either, for fear of ruining the moment. The suspension wiggled slightly as they trode the paved roads of Moscow and then the dirt road that led back to the Rainbow Base in Russia, the so-called Sovereign Base, in the remains of an old Soviet airfield. Two cargo planes lay on the tarmac- this was one of the few days left before their transition to Greece.

Their battered Jeep pulled up outside the base, slid perfectly, expertly, between the white lines of the parking lot. The lovers disembarked, heading for the dormitories. Snow was falling lightly, not that anyone minded.

Maxim turned to Tina as they neared the base and gave her a grave look. "Tina. I want you."

A husky tone, merged with sexual desire. Love and lust, or perhaps the other way around, were the emotions in his crystalline eyes.

Tina nodded back and whispered into his ear, as if an angel has whispered into hers: "Then make me yours."

Maxim picked her up and carried her to the room he was newly sharing with his girlfriend. It was spartan in furnishing but the bed was comfortable. He laid Tina on the bed and shrugged off his shirt as his girlfriend wiggled out of her sweatshirt and her workmans trousers.

They confirmed their love then and there, long into the night.

Later- much later, almost two months later, when the operators had their obligatory meeting with Harry to discuss really anything, it was somehow nice that when he asked 'what excites you?' Harry had to add 'aside from Specialist Basuda.'
