#hence the pulse info

[daniwib]

I feel like doing some writing!

Opens doc. Checks tumblr. Writes two lines. Checks discord. Writes one line. Oh wait I need to check something. Searches if you can feel a pulse in a lion's leg. Gets distracted reading a very interesting blog about lion pride dynamics and the individuality of roars. Scraps the line about the pulse cos no answer fast too hard distraction bad. Wrote a whole paragraph, woohoo! That deserves a cup of coffee as a reward. I may as well put a load of laundry on while the kettle is boiling, my sheets need washing. Oh wait I was going to buy my parents new sheets and it's prime day soon and but I need to confirm what size Dad's doona is. Calls Mum. Chats for half an hour. Finds suitable sheets and puts into cart ready for the sale. Reboils kettle and actually makes a cup of coffee. Sits at keyboard and cracks knuckles. Right, let's write! Oh shit it's time for the school run. And I forgot to hang the washing out.

Febuwhump Day 3 - "Bite Down on This"

For @smilesrobotlover and her wonderful King of the Gerudo blorbos!

Things hadn't exactly gone according to plan.

The monster horde near Fort Hateno had needed to be addressed quickly. Although the soldiers had held it at bay fairly well, Link wanted to defend his home and had rushed to its aid. Mipha had joined him.

Everything had been fine until the blood moon had come in the middle of the fight.

Link supposed it wasn't a complete disaster - they'd still won, after all. But goddess above, at what cost?

Mipha whimpered a bit as she tried to sit up a little more. Link gently put pressure on her shoulders to get her to relax.

"Please," he nearly begged. "You've done enough, Mipha. Just let me help."

His beloved wilted a little at his tone, her love for him fighting against her worry for the other soldiers. Link adored her for her compassion, but by Hylia she could be stubborn.

Well. He could be too, he supposed. Both their parents had commented that if they could have children they would be the most hardheaded beings on the planet.

The current dilemma, though, was due to Mipha's stubbornness, and his own would win out in this fight. Mipha had gotten an arrow to her leg, and it had impaled all the way through. The scream she'd let out was still ringing in Link's ears, making his skin crawl. Ever since he'd almost lost her to the Calamity, any injury she received was like being thrown back to that awful day. His heart was still racing just thinking about it.

The injury itself was painful to look at it, but Link knew Mipha's healing skills were more than enough to take care of it. The issue was that she'd spent her energy healing the Hylian soldiers all around her instead, and at this point she was too exhausted.

"Why do you do this to yourself?" he murmured, not really expecting an answer as he traced his finger around the wound.

"I have to help," Mipha answered quietly, a little browbeaten.

Link felt bad for making her guilty over such a gift, for such tender and considerate love for all. He sighed, cupping her cheeks with his hands. "I know. But... you can't help others if you wear yourself out. You worry me."

Mipha sighed, leaning into his touch and closing her eyes. "I'm sorry, Link."

Link tapped her face with his thumb, making her look at him. He didn't say anything more, but he leaned in for a quick kiss before leaning back and letting her go. He sifted through his bag a little before finding a spare belt. He felt his insides grow a little cold as he pulled it out. He'd used this item time and again when handling his own wounds, but...

Goddess, he really wished they didn't have to keep fighting like this. Hyrule had known peace for so long.

He couldn't imagine a better partner in battle, though.

"Bite down on this," he ordered as he offered the belt to her. Mipha took it and complied without argument, knowing what was coming.

Link found himself wishing desperately that he had even an ounce of Mipha's healing magic. He seemed the least magically inclined person by his own observations - Zelda, Mipha, Urbosa, Daruk... even Revali to a degree had some kind of magical ability to their name. He supposed his magic was his fighting prowess.

It absolutely paled in comparison.

What good was such magic in the face of the others? The only closest equivalent was Urbosa, whose abilities were really only utilized for violence such as his. Link had never been ashamed of his gifts before, but in this moment he wished so desperately that his hands could heal more so than hurt.

It's not hurting. It's defending. And that's equally important, he reminded himself.

And then he glanced again at Mipha, who could both heal and defend. His heart swelled, a smile pulling at his lips. Goddess, he loved her.

Mipha gave him a bewildered look for a moment before softening and returning the smile. But then she grimaced as she moved her leg a little, and Link focused on the moment again, warmth forgotten.

Positioning her leg a little better, Link visualized both sides of the arrow where it pierced all the way through. In her state, Mipha wasn't likely to be able to heal the wound for at least a few hours, so he'd have to stop the bleeding in the best way he knew how. He prayed she could heal herself sooner rather than later as... well...

Tourniquets hurt. But the risk for further injury and bleeding and infection were too high to sit on this.

He glanced at Mipha, silently asking if she was ready. She nodded, face determined, though her nervous wringing of her hands belayed her anxiety.

Link pushed the shaft with a fast, fluid motion. He wasn't sure if the whimper that escaped his beloved was better or worse than a scream. His hands went back to her face quickly, leaning his forehead against hers in comfort before he eased the belt out of her clenched jaw and tied it around her thigh. Mipha gasped in pain as he tightened it, watching the bleeding slow and then stop entirely.

Mipha leaned against the wall, sighing, her eyes closed tightly. Link shuffled to sit beside her and pulled her to him.

"I'm sorry," he mumbled. I'm sorry I can't heal like you can.

"Don't--ah!--don't be," Mipha said shakily, huddling closer to him. "You h-helped me. Thank you."

Link sighed heavily. Mipha just couldn't help being nice. One of these days he was going to kidnap her to some beautiful place where she didn't have to lead, worry, heal, or do anything for at least a week and he could just take care of her.

"I'll be able to heal it soon, I think," Mipha noted.

Link nodded, pulling away before scooping her into his arms. She yelped in surprise, making him smile.

"Well, in the meantime, I'll take care of you."

I came up with these guys for a creature design event on Rain World Amino!! They're officially named Dragon rays, but they're also known as Sky rays or Vac rays.

Several prompts were given, but I used these:

• Sky Islands.

• Cyan lizards.

• Singularity bombs.

• Grappling worms.

I was also inspired by manta rays and basking sharks! (Plus Crimson Rays from Subnautica, hence the spade tail)

More information and silly art below the cut:

Male rays have black and cyan coloration on their backs to attract female rays. Female rays have more dull coloration for camouflage; their backs are brownish-red to match the ground. Both males and females have light orange undersides (males being slightly brighter) to camouflage with the sky. The colors for both sexes can slightly vary in shade, but remain very close to the same hue.

Rays have a pair of bright turquoise eyes on the sides of their flat heads and another eye on their underside. They have stubby legs and are very clumsy on land.

They spend most of their life in the air and eat whatever gets sucked into their huge mouths. They generally don't have predators due to their size, but hungry vultures will sometimes attempt to hunt them.

They can extend their mouths (like basking sharks) rays can use their "singularity breath" to pull in stubborn prey (but that's about the only thing they have in common with singularity bombs; they don't make anything explode).

Dragon rays are passive to Slugcats. They will flee if the Slugcat attacks them. If the Slugcat bothers them enough, they may use their singularity breath to suck it into their mouth, instantly killing it.

Slugcats may be able to hitch a brief ride on a ray using a grappling worm; however, the rays usually fly too high for the Slugcat to interact with them. Rays may occasionally swoop down to perch for a short period of time. When they do this, their shadows can be mistaken for vulture shadows.

Dragon rays live in pulses (that's what groups of the species are called). They do not have leaders, but older rays (male or female) are usually taken more seriously. Females and males can coexist in a pulse.

Rays give live birth to one or two rays. Young rays do not need intensive parenting and learn quickly.

Might add more info or make more art of these guys later!! Feel free to make your own rays, too.

Bind my blades in salt & silence.

The Living Island. Named, Honoured, Hosted, Infested, Damned, Burned, Salted, and Dead.

Across history, the perils of nations like Krakoa have been made public affairs. The stuff of gossip & legend. The Triangle. The Trench. Roanoke, so on, so forth. It was a given that whenever a people sequestered themselves away on fanciful places, far from the watchful eye of 'existence', horrid things would befall them with nary a way out.

It seemed almost destined to be thus, and in no way, shape or form was Krakoa immune from the ever-churning tides of destiny. Hence, two mutants grabbing all of their at-hand effects, slipping through a gate toward Madripoor and then vanishing into the crowds like smoke on a warm breeze.

If any of you are still alive to read this, no hard feelings. You should've listened. - M.

But that was then. Ages, a world tour, and a gorgeous chalet in the foothills of Ibiza with around-the-clock at home staffers to tend to Irene later, and a gate that had long since forgotten the aura of survival at all costs, was gifted the taste one more time.

❝ Look at that. Paradise in throes of Mass Resurrection... ❞ If ever there were reason to 'empathize' with human fear of Mutantkind, staring across a sea of grass littered with veritable corpses reacclimatizing to pulses was it.

---

❝ Dexter. ❞ Her voice reached the young mutant's ears after her presence did. She could already see the 'wheels behind his eyes' spinning as he took her in, trying to find some no-doubt complicated marker in his system of systems to save himself.

She'd no time to indulge, instead resting a hand under his chin and forcing him to abandon his process to accommodate her.

❝ I'm looking for some people, Dex. I know you know where they are. ❞

Non-verbal, he stammered and sweated. He swallowed and sucked air, but he did not speak. To speak would be to 'relay info' from the card, and he - and... and she - ? She. Was squeezing his cheeks a bit harder, opening his mouth by keeping his jaw from closing.

❝ A general location. Are they near the east coast? ❞ A light squeeze, the hint of a whine of discomfort eking past parted lips. ❝ The west coast? ❞ A similar sound, tears began to well behind too-tired eyes. She did not relent. ❝ Did they find a way to leave, or - Oh. Oh, they're in the queue, aren't they? ❞

And then, as if the floodgates were sapped? ❝ONE OF THEM IS. THE OTHER IS LEAVING THE RECOVERY SUITE, HAVING BEEN SUCCESSFULLY RETURNED TO LIFE! PLEASE, MISS MYSTIQUE, ICAN'T-❞

And finally? Release.

Dexter is let go, two small beads of red on his cheeks drawing down toward his bruised jaw as Mystique turned away and off toward the heart of the isle. Irene had been correct. As usual. They had fought to the very end, and as such were low on the queue. Good. She might have time to catch one alone before the other found time to tie their hips together again.

ALRIGHT GANG! BIG MENTOPOLIS POST EPISODE FOUR THEORY/TIMELINE

Conrad shuffles the paper to bring the Packet to Impelda’s attention. Imelda Pulse steals the packet that was supposed to be delivered to the boss’s desk EOD.

Elias has been revealed to be one that thinks ahead, so he’d know that with something this classified, any sign of him waivering, and he won’t be allowed out of the building.

He’s been taking copper supplements knowing the likelihood that if he makes a move to stop the psychometer research, he’ll be psychometered. As of right now, the psychometer functions as a mind reader, the research packet had information on how to make it a mind changer.

Either the higher ups get the info from the packet or from Elias’s mind directly. Elias must know this. It’s not confirmed he destroyed the packet but it’s my belief that he must’ve. If nothing else, hid it extremely well.

This is all happening in a matter of minutes. He steals the packet, destroys or hides it, and equips a grappling hook. Why? He’s not leaving this building alive, not before getting psychometered and maybe not after, the boss wouldn’t risk that loose string.

He meets the boss. The psychometer goes off. Two things happen at once.

Norrell Ogical is murdered by Logic, who is currently unaccounted for in Mentopolis, as the mayor is a fraud, but logics presence is clearly palpable throughout the city. Logic takes over the board to force Elias to jump out the window.

The psychometer goes off, destroys the keyhole and has entered Elias’s mind.

Regardless of how preplanned jumping out the window is, even if it was the only logical option left, it is a fundamentally illogical thing to do. Every instinct in the brain would be trying to stop you from doing it, and it only makes sense to logic, who plans to do it for Elias’s survival. Logic would have to get up to and take out some heavy hitters in order to take control of the panel in that moment. Hence, they’d have to kill Norrell Ogical.

Given that Freeze has been pretending to be Leon Logic for some extended period of time, that leaves the question of if Freeze usurped Logic (unlikely, freeze is not a man of action) or if Logic has gone more vigilante, taking care of what needs to be done under the guise of something else. The question is, what would that something else be? Is Elias only able to make Logical decisions under the guise of something else? Could Logic be working with Fawn, attempting to maintain a low profile at the company while bidding their time to put an end to the psychometer?

Conrad stated that Logic knew them, which is how they knew the Freeze was a fraud. But how long has Freeze been acting as logic? When did Conrad and logic meet, and what beef would they have? Because I don’t know if logic would blame Conrad for the ice skate accident. The Four Fs would, but logical would, I would hope, be more logical about it. And it doesn’t sound like Freeze has been in power since the ice skating incident, or else he’d know Conrad.

What really sells Logic working behind the scenes for me is the copper supplements. Obv Elias’s conscience is worried about the psychometer. That waivering faith is on his radar, no matter how small. Logically, if he were to change his mind, or even seem like he was unsure of the project, his bosses would have no reservations about using it on him. He knows this. He’s prepared for it. That, and bringing the grappling hook. It’s more of a snap decision, but proveabley NOT an impulsive one.

Oh one other thing. Logic is likely a key holder, likely even part of the Ogical family (heartbreaking). I bet a lot of the behind the scenes work has been at the board at olblongata station with Fawn. Fuck, is logical posing as someone we met? Fuckkkk if Wilton gets revealed as Logic I’m gonna bite someone.

This is my favorite type of story, I’m thriving rn.

TLDR: logic killed Norrell Ogical, it’s possible that Logic has been working undercover/vigilante for some time, we’ve yet to meet them. Freeze has been impersonating them as we know, possibly in cahoots (or too scared to say no hehe). Logic may also be working with Fawn, since it seems Elias will not allow Logic to rule his thoughts, but as Logic clearly still has a strong presence throughout the city, logic could be working with fawn to keep a low profile and bide Elias’s time as they work to end the psychometer project.

To add to this idea;

I'm pretty sure in The Trial it's indicated that no one knew Zim was responsible for both Horrible Painful Overload days, the Tallest assassinations, or any of Zim's other crimes prior to OIDI until they saw his memories. So I'm rolling with the idea that he wasn't reviled by the general public until OIDI, only by those unfortunate enough to have met him in person.

Dib in this AU however, was doing field research abroad at the time of OIDI and gets so absorbed in his work he doesn't keep up with current events. So he knows nothing about Zim fucking up OIDI and the Tallest certainly aren't going to tell him because they don't want him to know they've set him up with an incompetent bodyguard on purpose. Dib initially does peg Zim for a complete moron, but since everything always seems to work out for them he eventually concludes that the insane Moon Logic Zim operates on must actually make sense in a way he simply can't comprehend. His methods may be unconventional, but he is a professional who knows what he's doing. After all, he must be if he was handpicked by the Tallest.

Part of Dib's assignment includes studying humans to see how advanced their tech is and assess them as a threat to the Irken Empire. To that end, he interns at Membrane Labs in order to get close to the Professor so he always has a finger on the pulse of human scientific advancement. He doesn't talk about his paranormal studies with Membrane, so Membrane thinks he's just a very bright boy with an aptitude for "real" science and treats Dib like the son he never had.

Since Dib is not Membrane's son in this AU, Gaz in an only child, but she still doesn't get a lot of attention from her dad. Growing up she put aside hobbies like video games to focus on science so Membrane would pay attention and be proud of her. But eventually she got burnt out on bending over backwards to earn her father's love and now she's a slacker who cuts class, blows off homework, and tries really hard to pretend like she doesn't care about being a disappointment to her father. Because what's the point if she's never going to be good enough to hold her dad's attention for more than 5 minutes anyway? Naturally, she resents Dib instantly when he comes along and starts acting like the child Membrane always wanted her to be. It gets even worse when Membrane convinces Dib to be Gaz's tutor and hopes that he'll be a good influence on her. Just like canon Dib, Irken Dib is kinda self-absorbed and oblivious to how annoying his enthusiastic info-dumping is. But it's even worse in this AU because he's not just yammering about a topic Gaz doesn't care about but actually mansplaining to her concepts she already knows. To be fair, she is flunking these subjects, hence why Membrane wanted him to tutor her. But she's only flunking because she's not trying anymore.

Zim's protectiveness of Dib makes him feel special and important after a lifetime of being treated like a joke in the Irken scientific community and he starts to believe they are what other species would call "friends". Maybe something more.

But actually, Zim does not care about Dib beyond his work obligations. He protects him only because his ass will be in huge trouble if he fucks up again. Canon Zim is already constantly anxious and paranoid about blowing his cover and being captured and dissected, so it really pisses him off in this AU that Dib does a lot of reckless stuff in pursuit of his research, like trespassing and hacking government files, which could attract unwanted attention from earth authorities.

Furthermore, he does not share Dib's fascination for earth creatures and paranormal phenomena. He just sees everything as weak and inferior, begging to be conquered, and a waste of time studying and gawking at. He feels no guilt about going behind Dib's back and plotting to throw him and his research under the bus to advance his own career by conquering the planet he loves so much.

Dib meanwhile is struggling with conflicting loyalties between the Empire that never appreciated him or anything he cares about and the community of conspiracy theorists he's infiltrated in order to learn more about earth cryptids and Gaz and the Professor, who are like the family he never had.

Dib ends up choosing the earth over the Empire just as Zim finally makes a move to conquer the planet and reveals how he was working behind Dib's back the entire time. Zim is disgusted with Dib's betrayal of the Empire, but also glad to be relieved of his obligation to protect him. Dib is heartbroken to learn that Zim never liked him.

But then after the two of them split up and become mortal enemies, with Dib trying to protect the planet he's adopted as his home and Zim trying to destroy it, Zim starts to feel a nagging sense of longing and regret. Maybe there was something he kinda liked about Dib after all. Maybe it was sort of pleasant having someone around who didn't know his past and treated him as competent and trustworthy and appreciated everything Zim did for him. But whatever. He's a traitor and a sentimental weakling, and now just an obstacle in the way of Zim achieving his life's ambition.

IDK if an AU like this already exists, but ZADR where Dib is an Irken scientist sent to earth to study its strange and unique creatures and supernatural phenomena and Zim is assigned as his bodyguard. What neither of them know is that they were both sent by the Tallest to get rid of them. Dib for his outlandish theories that are an embarrassment to the Irken scientific community, and Zim for the usual reasons. The Tallest expect Zim will get himself and Dib killed with his incompetence, but Zim actually takes his duty to protect Dib extremely seriously since it's his only shot at redemption for all the times he's screwed up in the past. He still has a secret agenda to try to conquer the earth in order to impress their leaders, which he pursues behind Dib's back while Dib develops a soft spot for the earth and it's magnificent specimens and wants it to become a preserve, protected from conquest or interference from the Irken Empire which would destroy everything unique and special about it.

story 1

The mysterious detective

??? Pov

Didn't you hear ?

Hear what ?

The detective cracked the case again !!

Woah for real ?? How do they know.. isn't that person who ever it is Anonymous ? We don't even know if their human !

But that's if you believe in mystical creatures of course !

Ye I guess so

Hey don't we have class right now ?

Ye oh god let's run for it

As I heard those two girls talk I chuckled and walked away looking at my watch

Huh ? Oh well it's Time to go home

I thought walking back home

Time skip

Home sweet home

I thought as I put the food in the kitchen

I then went to the living room and opened the tv

It seems that our mysterious detective solved the case again ! Just who could it be

The news reporter said shocked

Oh come on I couldn't help but solve it

I thought smirking as I closed the tv and started reading the news

Case solved

A other day shopping in the tiny neighborhood

As I walked around I saw someone unconscious from far a way

The closer I got the more blood

That’s when I saw a dead lady , with blood pouring out of her stomach

What's happing

I heard someone run towards me it sounded like an old lady but not too old maybe she's in her 50-60 most likely

Hello , there I was just walking by and happened to see her do you know her by any chance ?

I asked unfazed

U-h oh yes I do but let’s call an ambulance

She replied looking at me in an unsure way

Yes if you want I can check on her I know a bit about medicine and the human body

Ah yes

I then went to feel her body

still it's a new kill ? But who knows what are the chances for her to survive

A gun ? If it was some kind of knife it would have been hidden here somewhere or taken by the killer but this is also hard if she fell from a window hence a Suicide one of these windows should be open I thought as I looked around as I felt her pulse

Miss could you call the ambulance there might be a chance so I wouldn't bet on it in the mean time I'll check the building there the windows you see

I said pointing my finger

Once the woman left to call the ambulance I quickly went to the building it seemed old and abandoned

I then went towards the first window closed it was even dusty which proved how long it's been sense people came here

I then checked the other windows till the last one none of them were open they were all locked and dusty

Time skip

Once the Emergency came taking the woman away the lady had to go with them I decided to get that lady's number using a random phone and number I had and I added her

*₊˚✺ home ✺*₊˚

I decided to search about that location and houses near it from what the dead woman was wearing she didn't seem rich but she could afford at least a tiny apartment for a living I couldn't find her Id or anything like that in her bag but oh well

There's only one shady apartment near that rundown place and that's the koha

There aren't much members so it was easy spotting her

A woman who was a part of this really rich family they had connections to a lot of good people tho it seems she went on a different path ending up pregnant and living in that rundown apartment

Although what I'd like to ask is who hates her that much to want to kill her I suspect it wasn't a gun if it was that lady she would have come earlier to her once she heard the gun

If it was a knife or something like that ... ah but it could be …I thought researching

Time skip

I then opened the tv seeing the lady's death was announced

Finally

More info I thought.

Nvm I already found all that hours ago I thought a bit pissed oh well what ever now then I know who the killer is

Once The news finished I wore my jacket and started walking towards my friends business he lets me work there so I can get some money for living expenses basically and Internet caffe but there are also private rooms if you Wana use the computer by yourself with out people sitting around u or like near u

Time skip

I decided to start a new account and text the lady from there telling her I am the detective and that I've cracked the case I'll send you everything so if I were you I'd go show this right now

The killer : lucas tamal

His connections to the lady are too complicated before she reached this state I suspect he’s the father of the kid even tho he's young

its definitely him for one the woman's family cared to much about their family name and once he found out he was the father his family's reaction was definitely not accepting what he did and hating him who knows what more they felt or did to him but it made him reach to the point of hating and resenting that lady to the point he killed her off hiding his face scared but carefully

Case solved !

If you want more info press this for detail + but I’m sure you already know the details don’t you ?

I sent as I deleted the account and the app completely

I then left the room sense it was cleaning duty

Time skip

*₊˚✺ home ✺*₊˚

This was easy I thought tired

News report : the case solved again

News report : Lucas tamal thrown in jail for murder

That was quick

I thought

Who ever the hell that other detective is that's supporting my theories is quite the quick one

the new case !

?????pov

Sir the lady she came ! She wants to show u something

Someone said stuttering as they called for me

Sure I'm coming

I replied as I packed my book full of info of this case

A woman found dead in front of a rundown building , a former important person at that how unexpected

Time skip

Once I reached to the location and saw the lady she gave me her phone telling me to read what was written I looked at it a bit bothered they solved my case again

I then searched the name and did some of my researching to prove this and hell this mysterious detective who ever it is

is smart

Who ever that was that solved this case before me their right

I said as I stared at the building and then at the body trace

owen here's your part our criminal is in-fact lucas do what you can to get in him in Jail using my name or even this mysterious detective after all that we have a case to solve

I said smiling

Right of course detective arthur

Owen replied smiling

My trust worthy friend with an actual important name

we've been friends ever sense I wanted to become a detective with nothing else in mind he was there with me saying he'd be my side kick in a way

Once I crack a case , which isn't happening much now a days due to that mysterious detective

he spreads it using his power , and when it isn't something I solve and that annoying human solves it I have to put it out for the world that who ever it is that solved it

Now then time to crack this case after all it will be worth it

*₊˚✺ home ✺*₊˚

Now then our mysterious detective what could catch your attention

... the location normally people wouldn't be there would they ?

I then grabbed my phone calling Owen

Owen I have an idea let's go to the scene it's self no one would walk there unless ...

Mysterious detective pov

This guy owen Bardot he's the one who called for this or at least seems like the ones with the strings but apparently he works with this detective tho I assume due to my existence that detective isn't solving anything anyway

I thought slightly proud of my self

Well I'm guessing after 4 cases I've solved this man's gonna start looking for me

I don't care if he finds me honestly but I'm still unsure if I should trust him

is he even that good he's been covering up for me and actually giving me credit but does that prove he’s worth it

until he finds me I'll solve what comes my way and stay a bit alerted more then the usual

Found out red handed

Excuse me wake up now

Who could that be

I thought as I lazily wore my jacket and washed my face walking towards the door

Oh hello there granny

Yes , hello Lucia I need you to fix this for me I'll pay you but please do fix it

She said handing me her old laptop

Heavy as usual I thought tired

Alright what's the problem ?

I asked looking at her as I let her in the tiny apartment of mine

There's this weird button that keeps popping up .....

She then continued talking about the issue and what she tried to do

Time skip

Thanks for coming again

I said smiling

Of course and don't forget to pay your rent

She said slightly smiling

Ah darn it my rent I forgot

I mumbled falling on my couch

Hello is anyone there ?

I heard a man's voice say knocking my door

Ah yes just a second please

I said in a happy loud voice as I was wearing my shoes

Once I reached to the door I opened it to end up being met by two men

owen bardot?

And some random guy I've never seen before

Owen Bardot looked at me with his green emerald eyes as he was smiling

The other behind Owen staring at me with his dark black eyes and black air giving me somewhat of mixed signs

Do you mind if we talk for a bit ?

Owen asked looking at me smiling

Oh yes of course I said smiling letting them in

So sorry about the mess I just woke up

I said as I prepared seats for them

Please sit here

I said smiling

I then brought them some sweets and made some tea

Here for you

I said smiling as I handed them both a cup

Would you like some tea ?

Sure

Why not

Well anyway what brings me the honor of meeting the both of you ?

I asked being polite

Well actually we can't give you the specifics but I'm sure you have heard of the mysterious detective.? Yes ?

Yes I have they sound like quite the clever one I said smiling

And I'm sure you heard the latest case they solved it’s somewhere near here

Oh .. yes I have although I didn't tune in on the specific location so that's news

I replied being careful about my words

It's quite a sad story but it was solved so quickly I'm still shocked at how quick they were

I replied

If I May ask why are you here at my apartment can't be because the location was close I mean who ever that detective is that solved the case I can’t be them nor the murderer

Ye your not the murder but we were thinking maybe ....

Your the detective

The other man continued

Me why's that ?

I asked keeping my laugh in

A lot of clues

The man replied

Look let's be cooperative about this we've got you surrounded

They figured me out so that's the detective aye

I thought as I looked at the man next to Owen

You sir may I ask your name ?

I asked looking at the black haired man

Of course miss my names Arthur adler Nice meeting you and finally although I wasn't expecting the mysterious detective her self to be a girl

He said smiling

So what's your plan with me now

I replied

What do you do for a living

Ah I see great then consider becoming a detective you've solved plenty of cases even ones I couldn't solve until I found ur answer

The man said excited looking at me

I mumbled stuttering

I replied looking away

He said looking away sighing

Yea thanks

I replied smiling

Well okay how about we make a deal

Owen said intervening

I shivered a bit feeling as though I had no choice

Years later

I asked calling out for him using my phone

Yes I am what's up ?

He replied a bit tired

I said smiling

Ok, so I've been backreading Warrior Nun fandom meta, and random assortment of fics, and I definitely have some contrary opinions. Typical me. :)

The halo is advanced medical technology that doesn't belong on the mortal realm because it channels and is powered by faith energy. (it needn't be religious faith, as the show repeatedly emphasizes, Jillian, Mary and then Ava all demonstrating other forms). It is medical tech that is inappropriately being used in a combat capacity. Much like using a cardiac crash kit as a taser — you can, but that's not what it's for.

We know that the halo will reject individuals, likely based on their mental profiles, and how focused they are on life and living. Someone in despair, too ambitious, too willing to martyr themselves, who otherwise loses faith in living becomes incompatible The biggest clue is how Adriel first chooses as the meatbag locker for the halo, upon its initial theft. He lands in the middle of a battle and looks around for the most mortally wounded by still living person who seems important, and stuffs it in her. He knew the halo would accept an injured host who had reason to live, and counted on her grateful loyalty.

What's interesting is that the halo and crown's color coding indicate that they do not come from Reya's realm, which is color coded blue. The tarasks have divinium bones and kill wraiths, so they aren't demons unless Reya's realm is 'hell'. Then there's Lilith, also color-coded orange, whom Adriel makes no attempt to strike down, but immediately attempts to seduce and placate. Because she is a threat to him. (I suspect Adriel was supposed to retrieve the halo for Reya, but made a bid to keep that power for himself, then unseat her, hence the need for the arc). The warrior nun essentially carries non-combat tech from both realms, re-purposed into weapons, symbolizing how humans have choice, etc.

Second, I don't think Ava's ever died. It's definitely framed that way, and I totally get the romantic, symbolic appeal of that, but I never even considered it while viewing.

We are given explicit info about the orphanage such as the care facilities being very low tech. No heart monitor, eeg, ekg, seemingly not even a basic pulsometer like when you get checked in at a doctor's office. We also see that Ava was unfazed by the nun administering an injection, suggesting this was at least a bit normal. {Whoops, forgot Ava explicitly states no need for pain meds). So I'm guessing she's among small percentage of individuals who have a natural resistance to opiods. She was still in a conscious, hallucinogenic state when the nun was declaring her dead.

Severe overdose symptoms include cold, clammy blue skin, significant respiratory depression, extremely weak pulse and coma. The pulse may be undetectable to physical touch, and all metabolic action is depressed. It's a bit like severe hypothermia, and death in opiod resistant individuals is gradual, if left untreated. In short, the person looks and feels dead. Ava further displays the lingering symptoms of overdose through the first couple of episodes, such as disorganized thinking, emotional instability, lack of coordination, reduced inhibition and, yes, vomiting. That nun had 'mercy' killed so many other kids that she got complacent.

While Ava's midair fall likely caused multiple fractures and internal bleeding, along with loss of consciousness, it wasn't instant death. There was no rapid blood loss which would have caused heart failure, and aside from a portion of separated cranium, her head was intact. It takes several minutes of oxygen starvation for the body to begin dying, and neural function to cease.

Real life medical response would have been to drain fluid buildup while restarting and stabilizing the heart, if necessary, and sealing off the brain from infection, then monitoring for brain trauma from the deceleration squish. It was a scary fall, and Beatrice flipped out, but Mary kicked Ava off a cliff in season one, down onto an uneven rocky surface. What struck me is that Beatrice might have helped power the halo.

(As an aside, if the halo is powered by faith energy, then the decimation of the O.C.S. and their belief in the warrior nun, would have been a huge energy loss for the halo. The only rapid solution would be for Ava to go public).

Anyway, on occasions when the halo temporary runs dry, Ava does not die. Instead, she reverts to a quadriplegic state, indicating that the halo was unable to repair an existing healed injury. So it is acting in a continual state, but as a disability aid, rather than keeping her alive. For her, the halo provides a neural bypass system... which we also saw in the wheelchairs ArcTech developed. Competing disability representation needs and all, but I appreciate that Ava was not miraculously healed.

In short, Ava wouldn't die if it was removed, but her intense desire to live, disability, high altruism and lack of violent/martyr conditioning, made her the ideal candidate. For a device that's not from Reya's realm.

[drconstellation]

No, they are just a metaphor for being watched. It strikes me as a very Pratchett-style joke, he used to like to write sly references to current popular culture in his books, and wouldn't hesitate to do elaborate set ups for a one-line joke, or the joke would work on multiple levels. Which is why I was referring to them as surveillance ducks, as when they appear in GO there is some form of watching, listening or invisible surveillance going on, or mention of intention to do surveillance or spying.

I have not been thorough in trying to find every duck reference in GO, I only went through the first two episodes of S1, plus I had some points in mind from S2, but it was a rare case where I actually wrote out notes on paper to nut it out. Typically at the moment I have a big OneNote file open, and will be juggling a lot of info in my head, and then refer back to salient points as a cross-check. But the ducks very quickly showed their hand, er, wing? and this became an easy meta to write. Here's my actual working notes (if you can read them.)

That said, there are still a couple of loose ends I'd like to tie off with them.

As God narrates S1E1, She mentions that the Russian attache's black bread invokes a Pavlovian response in the ducks. I'd like to be able to explain that one.

The Canadian accordion-playing duck on Mr Brown's newspaper - why? Does it refer to something specific or is a general hint about a Mr Brown being duck-like? The character reminds me of Mr Tyler, the Tadfield Neighborhood Watch guy who was out sticking his nose into everyone's business in S1 - someone who is always watching other people, or, as you would call them, a busybody. I know everyone's playing with the idea the Mr Brown has a crush on Aziraphale at the moment, but there is also the by-line story of Sodom and Gomorrah that Mr Brown is playing a part in, particularly when he get dragged out of the book shop by the demons. He's a busy character. [Edit: found the ref]

The third thing I need to review is the conversation around the "Frozen Peas" remark. I'm pretty sure I have it right, but it all came about because of Newton Pulsifer's name. Newt's surname is a play on the word "peace," as in "peas" are pulses, hence Pulsifer. But his first name is no accident either (aaaahhhh yessssss.) I recently did a little rant about the geckos in S2E2, how they are supposed to represent newts, so I was thinking about witches and newts, and then as I reviewed S1E2 Newt turned up in a very interesting place...I'm onto you, Newt!

The Ineffable Ducks

What's with all the ducks in Good Omens that Crowley seems to be inordinately fond of? Turns out, they do have a narrative purpose, they're not just in there as a running joke about Crowley's fondness for the animals of Earth.

They appear in both S1 and S2, and get mentioned in several seemingly random places. Like, really random. There are quite a few in St James Park, where the ducks live, where the international spies also clandestinely meet, where Aziraphale and Crowley meet on several occasions, and where Crowley and Shax have a meeting, exchanging information in S2E1.

Ducks also get referred to here, when Aziraphale suggests they use humans to search and spy out the missing Antichrist, but Crowley insists it will be near impossible because suspicion slides off the boy like water off, what ever water slides off, because he has an automatic defense system.

The he remembers the ducks(!) later in the Bentley when they discuss using their respective networks of highly trained human operatives (Shadwell and the Witchfinder army), and Aziraphale asks if Crowley has a better idea than his. "Ducks!" Crowley suddenly utters.

The ducks that are always there, that you see but don't see, gathering bread crumbs, when any kind of surveillance or secret spy work is being discussed.

Nah, I thought, it couldn't be a sly ref to this famous cartoon by Larson, could it?

Aziraphale and Crowley are always afraid that someone is watching, or listening to everything they do, from both sides. I mean isn't that partly why we got the ending we did in S2, because they have had to be so covert with their communication to each over the centuries they've forgotten how to speak plainly to each other?

Heaven has definitely been watching...

And Hell certainly noticed Crowley's act of kindness in the Edinburgh cemetery, swiftly summoning him to Hell for punishment after his kind deed on behalf of Elspeth.

Then when the duo meet in again 1867 Crowley wonders if "ducks have ears" before declaring they must do - that's how they hear other ducks. So its no surprise that when Crowley asks Aziraphale for holy water that he writes the request on a piece of paper to hide it from those invisible ever-present watchers they know are never far away.

When we come to the start of S2, where Crowley is slouched in St James Park once more, reading the Tadfield Advertiser, and yelling at the Azerbaijani secret agents for feeding the ducks bread. Crumbs, it was alright to do this in the book, and S1, why is wrong now? Has Crowley suddenly become woke and caring for the ducks? Nah.

There's a lot more to it than that. I realized this is the missing Grain offering from my post about altar offerings (see The Altar of Eccles Cakes) in S2. A Grain offering represents a voluntary expression of devotion to God - or the other side you're supposed to be aligned with, in this case.

Shax is part of this scene, discussing the latest news from below, and she mentions some special intel that Hell has received, from their own secret squirrel network. Of course they would meet in St James Park to discuss this, along with all the other spies. While Shax tries to get some intel out of Crowley about what might be going on in Heaven, because she knows he has contact with a certain angel who owns a book shop, Crowley responds by refusing to show any devotion to his former side at this point, and isn't going to give any information away that could be useful. He also doesn't have any intel at this point, anyway, but he's not going to give that away either! Heaven and Hell are toxic, and no one should be going anywhere near them, in his opinion. So stop feeding them that devotional bread!

After Shax asks what they should be feeding the ducks, he eventually says "Frozen Peas. It's good for them, they like it."

The short period of "peas" since they stopped the impending Apocalypse has been enjoyable, and good for Crowley and Aziraphale, but the forced meeting with Beelzebub later that day soon jolts Crowley out of any complacency when they indicate that the "generalized understanding" Crowley thought they had with Heaven and Hell after the body swap to leave them along, the one Aziraphale-as-Crowley negotiated, while asking for a rubber duck, no less, was looking very shaky and fragile indeed.

And one more random duck ref to discuss.

I was inspired to write this section by someone else's post calling Muriel a duckling imprinted on Crowley, and of course I did not save it, did I, and a search does not bring it back up again, so if you're reading this, or know that post, please let me know! I read it, and thought, cute, but nah, then realized that Muriel was sent on a surveillance mission to Whickber St to ascertain the truth of Aziraphale's 25 lazurii miracle. And she did act as the eyes of Heaven, writing up some reports, called Crowley "grice," then followed him around during his escapade in Heaven just like a duckling following a grumpy gander drake while he did his own surveillance measures in a Tactical Turtle neck, channeling his best imitation Sean Connery voice (have you noticed that as well, people?)

No, no, the op wasn't wrong - those big cross ducks, er grice geese, they make good guard dogs, no?

With special mention to Crowley acting as a surveillance duck just prior to this, and Mr Brown doing his own "spying out" of Aziraphale.

To finish this meta, there is one other figure who notably offered the ducks bread, in the book. This passage, which is surely relevant to S3, but didn't appear in S1, shows another character still devoted to God in a way. Lets give Death the final word:

Crowley: "Maybe it's it's all part of a great ineffable plan. All of it. You, me, him, everything. Some great big test to see if what you've built all works properly, eh? You start thinking: it can't be a great cosmic game of chess, it has to be just very complicated Solitaire. And don't bother to answer. if we could understand, we wouldn't be us. Because it's all - all - "

INEFFABLE, said the figure feeding the ducks.

"Yeah. Right. Thanks."
