#izan's last name

[huescs]

the emotional discrepancy in my mind as i transition from listening to MILLIONS KNIVES- vocal ver. to system of a down whilst extremely high:

[mangledscrimp]

OKAAYYY LALA HAVEN’T DONE ONE OF THESE IN A WHILEEE

Angela Ledore!! For Diabolical Yuri au!! Her ref!!

tralalalaaa As usual I’ll go into detail abt each bullet and mayyybe add some facts into this as well!!

poo ignore how bad her side profile is in da corner,, I don’t really car

Bullets-

•Curling hair

Angela and Hershel are very good friends! When Hershel initially met Angela, Angela had straighten hair. Overtime as they grew closer, Angela adored Hershel’s hair and wanted to style it similar to hers! She really enjoys her new look.

•Pronouns

Angela still goes by she/her in this au lolsss

•Questioning herself

Angela has no idea what to label herself as. She’s still learning and doesn’t want to attach herself to a label just yet.

•Last name

Angela’s full name is Angela Ledore in this au. I like to think she has the last name of Ledore and that Henry just takes her last name in the future. lalala!

•Good friends

Angela is very good friends with Alphonse and Hershel. Though, Her and Alphonse tend to spend more time together, gossiping or just hanging out and having fun! They often skip classes together to go shopping or visiting a cafe, sadly Hershel wouldn’t dare skip, she’s too busy in class!

Unmentioned in the main bullet; Angela is decently good friends with Henry. She doesn’t get to talk with him much since he’s kept at the ascot mansion majority of the time, but when he’s with the group, she enjoys his company greatly.

•Still friends..?

Angela and Randall have a rocky friendship. They used to be really close since they were itty bitty critters but, things seemed to really drift apart after Randall’s father had gone missing. Both Angela and Alphonse seemed to distanced themselves from her. They didn’t mean to, Randall just started acting weird once she found this mask that her father had owned. Nonetheless, they still hangout with Randall now that Hershel joined the friend group.

•Brother

Angela’s brother in this au is named Giuseppe (NOT THE ONE IN CANON LOLL!!). He was about 18 when he had gone missing. He and Izan (Randall’s father) were pretty close since they both had an interest in ancient civilizations. With one being relatively close to stansbury, they decide to check it out. Sadly, after that day, He hadn’t come back. A few days past and a picture is hung up in the hallway of Angela’s house. It had a pot of chrysanthemums on the end table where the frame was hung. Angela didn’t know what it meant at the time so she assumed that he just went off to college, at least that’s what her mother had told her.

Little fact!

•Future

If angela was a teenager in the future era with technology, she’d definitely be glued to her phone. She’d enjoy music from popular artists (would she be a swiftie…..frown face)

The Mages Were Missing

(There's still an hour left in my VERY good friend @crash-bump-bring-the-whump's birthday so I'm NOT late! This is the first of several writes in response to this incredible piece)

Izan hadn’t answered her texts. Mariano hadn’t come over after his shift like he always did. Laredo had missed a stream. Manuel didn’t come to the date that Fletcher was so excited for. Individual incidents, happening too quickly to be coincidence, made even more suspicious when Wren looked into Dimitri and realized there had been no activity on his social media. No matter how bad it was, he always posted a picture of his hideous dog in various outfits every day. 

The mages were missing. 

Tracking them down took too long. Way too long. Wren pored over security camera footage of their last known locations. The coffee shop, convenience stores, laundromats, she filtered through their cameras, finding nothing. Hours of footage. Nothing. Blind spots, erased footage, convenient glitches in the security systems. She needed a new tactic.

Police reports. Fire department logs. Dimitri was aggressive above all else, there would be an arson report, a burning building, a noise complaint, something.

After hours of searching for clues, she finally found a report. A burning hedge, near Dimitri’s apartment. 9:27 AM. Going back to her security footage, she scrubbed to that timestamp for the convenience store closest to the address. Blind spot. Someone knew she would be looking. There was only one person that clever, that surgical, and who had a bone to pick with each one of the war mages. She tried to keep tabs on him, but she could usually only narrow it down to the city he was in.

Luis was back.

Not for long, now that Wren was on the hunt. 

She scoured car rental agencies, setting her software to scan highway footage for similar cars to the ones just barely in her field of vision in the security footage, searching the previous footage for more images of the car to narrow things down. Her coffee drained from its mug. Her fingers flew across the keyboard. 

On her sixth hour of searching, she found his newest alias: Juan Herrero. John Smith, really? Beneath the anxiety and steely determination, she let herself feel a flash of derision. Finally, finally, she found the rental cabin under his name, booked at a steal because the owners were remodeling the basement. 

Wren whistled, loud enough to fill the clinic, and grabbed the car keys.

It was time to get their mages back. 

~

Wren stood at the back of the group, checking her tablet as Fletcher worked at the lock on the cabin's front door. The comms were working, but she couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be some sort of device to jam their signals.

Archer stood directly behind Fletcher, looking murderous. He always did, when Luis was involved. "Luis is crafty. We can't let him separate us. We-"

Several things happened in the same instant.

Click.

"I got it!"

Fletcher pushed open the door.

Fletcher yelped.

Fletcher was gone.

"Fletch-" Archer reached for him, but his solid metal hand closed over empty air. The team was left staring into a dark foyer, listening to the fading footsteps echoing off the walls.

Archer cursed under his breath. "It's a trap." He ran inside without another word, his expression somehow even more murderous. "Elana-"

"Here!" Elana thundered after him into the dark, leaving only Jewel and Wren on the doorstep.

"So much for don't get separated." Jewel looked hesitantly at Wren. "We should find the mages, while we know Luis is... occupied."

Wren nodded, pressing forward into the darkness.

~

Frozen hinges reluctantly yielded, screeching as Wren braced her back against the door and forced it open. She had to cover her face at the rush of cold, blinking against it.

Fluorescent lights flickered above them, dimly illuminating bleached hair and red, blistered, frost-crusted palms. 

Dimitri laid there on the floor, unmoving.

Jewel rushed into the freezer, cupping his cheek with one hand and putting two fingers at his neck with the other. “I’ve got a pulse. Help me get him up, we need to get him outside."

He wasn’t even shivering anymore. Even from the doorway, Wren could see the scorch marks on his hands. He must have been trying to keep warm using his magic alone, without any focus or gloves to protect him. 

When she grabbed his shoulder to lift him up, Wren startled. Dimitri’s eyes were open, locked on hers with the exhausted, terrified focus of someone who expected to be left behind.

“R… ru-run.”

Wren felt a chill run down her spine.

“We know it’s Luis. Archer and Elana are on him. We’re going to get you out of here, just hang on.” Jewel wrapped her jacket around Dimitri’s shoulders.

“C-care…ful.” Dimitri’s voice was hoarse, strained. Each syllable scraped past his lips like the hinges Wren had forced to move against their will. “Said… hid- hidden.”

“I can find them.” Jewel’s voice was level as she helped him to a sitting position. That was how they found Dimitri in the first place- Jewel had nearly collapsed from the force of the despair when they got close enough.

Wren slid his arm around her shoulders, flinching from the frozen clothes against her neck. It took too long to get him outside, to drape a blanket over him and give him a water bottle that he clutched to his chest. Every second was another second where Archer and Elana and Fletcher faced down Luis.

They still had four war mages to find.

Aeria Gush Post 4

evUsual warning: This is going to be a long post with some spoilerly content. If y’all just want to read it, here’s the link>>> https://globalcomix.com/c/aeria We’re at Episode 4, “Transparent History”, of my comic Aeria. Welcome to my ted talk where I gush about the inner workings behind my comic and my favorite panels. 💙Episode 4 Part 1 Iris is in the middle of kidnapping Mira. I like when villains slip info to the reader that the main character doesn’t know yet. Iris calls Mira “Sol Maidena Aeria”, a title of some kind that must mean something if Cal’s group and the Aposaarian group think she is of some great importance, but what does that have to do with their plans?

💙Episode 4 Part 2 While unconscious, Mira has a dream about her past. She recalls a boy with dark blusish-black hair and pointed ears. He reminds her a lot of Cal. Then, there’s this girl with blonde hair covered in markings. Sort of like the younger version of the woman from her first dream. Pretty strange 🤔

💙Episode 4 Part 2 The scene shifts to the two adults in the dream. On the left is the (retired) Izan (King) of Iyu. Cal’s grandfather. On the right is Izara (Queen) of Ethania, Loirreanna. Mira’s birth-mother. The two have a chat about the future of the two children. An agreement is made between the two adults to continue the play dates. A detail I love about this panel is that Loireanna is wearing Aeria’s necklace, but the gemstone is grey. Some jewelry on Ailithyia serve alternate purposes (some can transform into weapons, armor, ect.), but they are bio-locked to keep everyone from using them. We know that the gemstone glows when Mira is wearing it, but she hasn’t unlocked its full potential. We’ll see more about the necklace in season 2.

💙Episode 4 Part 3 Mira wakes up in her room. After fighting Iris, Cal used her dorm I.D. to get them inside. Last thing Mira remembers is getting the wind knocked out of her.  

💙Episode 4 Part 4 Cal begins to question Mira about her past. There has to be something that she can remember about her mother, right? Anything? Mira claims that she doesn’t recall a thing. Cal then tries to tell her about the necklace’s curse; how it turned her human and took away her memories of her past life. Mira thinks his claims are quite the stretch, but when Cal offers to try and undo the curse to prove his point, she agrees if only to get him to leave her alone.

💙Episode 4 Part 5 Cal uses his magic and does his best to undo the spell. He can’t quite get rid of it, but he does manage to allow Mira to see what she really looks like in the mirror. The blonde-haired woman from her first dream. Turns out, she is Iylven and the necklace is cursed (for now). 

💙Episode 4 Part 6 During Mira and Cal’s talk, a figure is scene standing outside their door listening in. What’s more, this doesn’t look like Nathan. They’re wearing lipstick, so they must be one of the female students at Sylvia Rose’s. Is the culprit Chrissy? One of Mira’s friends? 

💙Episode 4 Part 6 Mira begins to question her entire life. Especially the part where her father is a geneticist at a government lab. Was she a science experiment to him all this time? Does he even know? What would he do if he knew? The reader knows something is up- Dr.Harthan was texting Nathan at lunch. They’ve got some kind of plan and it involves watching her.  I also wanted to leak the name of the company in the background; B-Tech. One of Mira’s friends is Nathan Backous; his dad, Tomas Backous, owns and runs the lab.

  💙Episode 4 Part 7 Cal drops the big news on Mira; She’s a Princess and Iylven of royal blood have powerful magic. From the Aposaarian’s standpoint, holding her hostage or using her in their plans to change the government would give them more political standing on homeworld. From the human’s perspective, they could experiment on Mira to figure out how to recreate magic for their own kind. Or use her as a weapon against other countries. Either way, neither option sounds good, so Mira becomes more interested in what Cal’s group is trying to accomplish. He insists on taking her to New York City to where the starships are docked; there, they can figure out how to get her back to homeworld while protecting Mira from the Aposaarians. Mira agrees to go, although admitting to herself that she isn’t comfortable traveling with people she barely knows.

💙Episode 4 Part 8 Mira changes out of her school uniform. The clothes are a loan from her friend Erica- Mira realized she still had the outfit after looking through her wardrobe for something else to wear, but all her civilian clothes were at her dad’s house. I liked including this detail to tip people off about who the person outside the door was. Cal decides to have them leave through the window. Mira is against this, but Cal insists that they won’t be climbing down. He offers to carry her. I enjoyed the excuse to draw Cal holding Mira bridal style.

End of Episode 4. Conflicts are piling up and while we did get some answers, there were a lot more questions left behind. Some questions that will be answered this season, some others that will be answered in later ones. Mira finally knows that she’s not human- although she hasn’t completely accepted it yet. And while she isn’t on great standing with Cal or his friends yet, they’re not her enemies either. There is a potential for the relationship to grow into something more...given time If you want to read ahead, check out my comic: https://globalcomix.com/c/aeria I’ll get around to a part 5 eventually. Thanks for reading and have a lovely day 💙

Izan listened intently, before looking at the books on the cart carefully to try and find what she'd pointed out to him. It took him a minute, but eventually he'd grabbed two books with fic on the side, as well as the correct abbreviated last names. Excited to be able to help the right way, he put the books where he thought they went, and then looked at Josie. "I've been to lots of libraries, but I don't know how any of them were organized. Before I came here, I only went to libraries because they were open to the public and very peaceful. I only picked up a book if it seemed like I was being watched. But most librarians never minded loitering," he explained.

"maybe it wasn't, but it just seems fishy that after a special event someone ends up dead...." she explained, though she thought she recalled reading something asking if anyone knew anything about the incident to say something. Josie could see they were struggling she guided his hand with the book closer to her "You see that label right there" She pointed to the label on the binding "This row says 'fic' for fiction and this is the abbreviation of the author name. so that goes in the C-D's were in S-T's right now so just hold off on that one right this moment" She explained putting a book out with the right label on it. "It's okay every library is different but this is probably the most common, though I could be wrong...It took me a while to learn my way around this place"

100 Milestone Event Prompt Masterlist

Part 2 here!

"Rin, is Ran home?" the younger Haitani only frowned at your question before looking at his brother who's talking to their other Kantou Manji members. "Both of us are at a Kantou Manji meeting. Why?" your silence terrifies Rindou before you eventually speak up, "Ah… Is that so. Never mind then."

"Y/N… What happened?" Rindou interjects before you manage to end the call. "Ah! It's nothing really. It's just, I think he might have forgotten we had a date today…" you trailed off before continuing "BUT! That's fine! Both of you guys are too busy, I understand." your obvious tone of sadness through the phone call lit up something inside Rin causing him to sigh at his brother's idiotic actions. As if you can sense his turmoil, you piped up *It's fine Rin! I guess we can always reschedule it. Thanks anyway!" and ended the call.

Huffing, Rindou walked over to his brother, hitting his back. "What the fuck Rin?" Ran curses before patting the place where he was hit by his brother. "Did you forget anything?" seeing confusion in Ran's eyes only made Rindou wanting to hit him harder. "Y/N called. Did you forget your date today?" at his statement, Ran's eyes widened before grabbing his phone to see 30 missed calls and 19 messages from you asking where he is, the last one being half an hour ago. Upon checking his calendar, Ran curses as he remembered that today also marked both of you guys' 4th anniversary. Bidding the Kantou Manji's members and his brother goodbye, he jogged away to his bike, aiming to repair his damage.

"Honestly Rindou?" Rindou perked up hearing his name before looking up and seeing all of the Kantou Manji members looking at him, with Koko who was the one that called him. "What."

"Honestly, why didn't you take Y/N away from Ran?" Rindou was taken aback by Koko's question and looked at them in disbelief." What the fuck you mean by that?" his defensive tone only made Sanzu snicker. "Exactly what he means Romeo." Sanzu said teasingly before dismissing all the members.

(Meanwhile at your place)

You don't know what were you expecting when Ran came to you but the fights and screaming fest that's going on is totally something you'd been preparing for.

"Oh please Y/N, you know who I am. I can't put all the attention on you just because you're my girlfriend! You were fine before this, what the fuck happened now?" Ran tried to defend himself even more.

"I'm a member of Kantou Manji Y/N, I can't always stay with you! I stayed there long enough to have many enemies come to you. I'M PROTECTING YOU!, I PROMISED YOUR BROTHER I WOULD! I DON'T WANT YOU ENDED UP DEAD LIKE HIM."

But Ran's words only aggravated you even more," Shut up!" you screamed. "Can't you see? I didn’t care about all the details. I just wanted you!”

"Whatever promises you had with Izana, I don't care about it. I just want you. You and me. We both against the world, remember?" you chuckled brokenly.

"Fine. Y/N, would you do the honour of being my wife?" silence ensued between both of you before you broke it by chuckling in disbelief "What the hell Ran?"

"I said what I said. Kurokawa Y/N, would you do the honour of being a Haitani?"

[maneskings]

here's my ccme experience!!

the wheel storie is in other post and i'm too lazy to link. but my brain is still stuck in I WAS 2M CLOSE TO I CHAOS FRATELLINI AND LIKE 5 TO ETHAN AND DAMI.

ccme organization was amazing... until the last 3 hours. måneskin was supposed to play an hour between 22:30h and 23:30h. the show had an usual 20-30 min delay but the real problem started because the antepenultimate artist did an 1h 20' show. måneskin couldn't wait another hour to play. so there was a big confusion because the artist that was supposed to play right before måneskin had to swap places with them - and we waited like 15 minutes without any kind of information, there were three big screens covering the stage but i could see how ethan's drum set was setup and i heard vic tuning up.

so we got a messy first performance and damiano angry at the organization - when he said it was the last song, we booed and he replied "blame coca cola, not us".

also, they didn't play gasoline even tho it was in the setlist. they did a really short show and the poor last singer only played 30 minutes.

but we got LA CAMISA NEGRA as i predicted. "tenemos un presente para vosotros" aw that melted my heart.

somebody should have told damiano that it's "vamos", not "vamo".

dami and giorgia's kiss... a lot of people was confused because they didn't know she is her girlfriend.

vic's nipple out for half then show and she still got a lot of screen time and even crowdsurfed. this is europe, baby!

crowd shouted for damiano and victoria. few people did for ethan too (saying /izan/... i shouted the italian pronunciation louder and earned some confused looks). i tried to start it for thomas but nobody followed me - 40% of the people there only knew beggin' and talked about damiano as "that handsome boy i don't know his name".

covers thingy. i like womanizer but i wouldn't put it in a reduced setlist. as the founder and only member of the "defend il ballo della vita squad" i would love to hear moriro da rè or any other songs of that cd instead of covers.

all in all, the atmosphere they create is fucking amazing. can't take my eyes off them. i know streaming made like only 2-3 close ups of ethan but we had additional screens and there we got the daddy screen time he deserves.

i have some videos and stuff but trust me, you don't want to hear my horrible voice screaming every word.

[tag-that-oc]

Talk.about.yout.fav.oc.right.now.🔫.

my fav? how do I choose a favorite?

kidding, I will talk about one of my favs at random

since I've already mentioned Cyra and Dawson on here before, I think I'll go with umm... oh no I can't decide between Razi and Arvid 🥺

I'll go with Arvid! oh my baby son boy (gently holds)

so, Arvid is half alien (I say half but he's more like three quarters, actually,) and he's a second generation character to mine and Todd's collab project.

warning for a little bit of trauma lol

Arvid was bullied pretty badly in school. one of his peers pretended to be his friend to play jokes and stuff on him, and it all escalated to one point in middle school where Arvid finally tried to stand up for himself, but he was stabbed by the "friend" and hospitalized because of it.

Arvid's whole persona is "I'm super tough don't fuck with me" but on the inside he is *so* soft. he's also a gay disaster. he has a boyfriend named Izan and they are so freaking adorable together, but he also has crushes on other guys (don't worry, they're polyamorous :3 ) and Arvid cannot talk about his feelings worth a crap. he keeps them all bottled up and believes he can't cry because of being teased for it as a kid.

Arvid is very close with Amanda (his mother and Todd's oc), and he used to be close with one of his sisters, Amber, but she abandoned him and caused a lot of drama in the family because of it. she has since come back into Arvid's life, but he is having a hard time trusting her again after being hurt the first time

Arvid has the greatest power ever. he can summon meat. that's right, just ground beef right in his hand. (no but seriously, Arvid hates this power and wishes he had something cooler slfjkskdksn)

he loves bugs! Arvid has a pet tarantula, but he also studies entomology as a hobby and is so fascinated with watching bugs and helping them and stuff.

Arvid is the embodiment of "be gay, do crimes" and he and his friends do a lot of thieving, vandalism, and bastardry

oh, also! Arvid is part of the same story as Dawson, Cyra, Niserum, and Ares. idk if anyone remembers, but Ares and Niserum want to get rid of all superpowers and people with those superpowers, which includes Arvid (even if his power is kinda weird) and Amanda. Dawson ends up being forced to kill Arvid and Amanda, so that's fun :3c

he is one of my favs so I have made so many things for him here is my son!

the last one is Arvid and his boyfriend (future husband) Izan AH LOOK AT THEMMM

also have his collage AND the collage I made for him and his boyfriends (Izan, Avery, and Razi) because now I'm in Arvid mode and want to share

[beautiful-basque-country]

Kaixo! I just wanted to share that there are also Basque people in Brazil! My abuelo immigrated here in the 60's and I even have a Basque last name (with the spanish spelling, sadly). We try to keep our traditions alive even though most people around here have never even heard of Euskal Herria or Basque people in general. It's a good feeling to explain to people our amazing culture, language and history, and I always tell people to take a look at your blog for that! Um beijo para vocês! Agur!

Kaixo anon!

Basque people went almost everywhere searching for a better life, and it’s always nice to meet people from the diaspora who’s still interested in our culture and want to keep their roots alive ^_^.

We’re SO glad to hear that out blog is useful for you to explain who we Basques are, and so grateful to know you recommend it!!

Um beijo também para você, que você continue bem!  

Ondo izan!! Besarkada bero bat!

[huescs]

mind's going crazy rn folks, here's a couple of the changes / additions made to bones' carrd:

- bones' last name has been changed to soche. - izan's family are descendants of indigenous muisca people. his ultimate attire as bones is recreated to replicate as close as he can to traditional attire. as a result, izan's cloak has been changed to a hooded ruana (a muisca mantle) that is white in color with a purple, ornamental strip on the edges. beneath that, they wear a white mantle, white pants, and a black tank top. they are adorned with small gold jewerly; such as a gold bracelet and gold earrings. the only remains izan has from their parents. - more verses have been added! list includes now: eye of michael, devil may cry, final fantasy vii, dc universe, general fiction, jujutsu kaisen (tba), resident evil (tba), and kimetsu no yaiba! - final desire changed.

Home sweet home  and Gender reveal.

Hello my friends!. It's been a long time since the last time I've posted here, I'm sorry about that. We've been busy with the moving and other personal projects. But I finally have some free time to post an update for you all. Luke and I have finally bought our own house together also our first property and a huge investment as well, During the last two weeks we've been working on the decoration of the house. Amara, Leire and Blaze also helped us decorate and painting their own bedrooms and they had a great time helping us. About the pregnancy everything is going pretty well, we just finished the nursery of our twins and as you can see in the photo down below, we are expecting two boys!. Our children have helped us choose their names after a contest where we all wrote our favourite names on a piece of paper, then we put them inside of a little box and the winning names were Izan, name chosen by Blaze and León, name chosen by Luke. So the two men of the house have definitely won this game!. :D

Alioth "Ali” Clarke-Iz’an

Pronouns: he/him

Role: Earth Culture Expert and Translator

Age: 84

Romantic and/or Sexual Preference: Bisexual

Species: Djayyar

Home Planet: Earth

Faceclaim/Humanoid Appearance: Avan Jogia

True Appearance: Ali resembles an Erkuss with glittering skin of deep purple and indigo hues, very similar to the night sky. He used to rely on a sformer to mask his true appearance, but after decades on Earth, he eventually learned how to disguise himself. He still needs to wear brown contacts to hide his constellation eyes.

Backstory: Unlike most Erkuss, Eika Iz’an didn’t adopt Alioth to take advantage of the rare opportunity to have a Djayyar under her wing. She just wanted a child. Eika and her partner always wanted children, but luck didn’t seem to be on their side. When her partner unexpectedly passed away, Eika knew she wouldn’t find a love like that again, and to honor her partner, she dedicated herself to making their wish come true. After years of searching, she found Alioth and knew he was meant to be her son–not only until he matured, but for as long as she lived.

They spent their first few years together living on Kraysha, but she quickly noticed the envious looks she would get from her community, and she began to fear for her son’s safety. While rare, there were cases of Djayyar getting kidnapped from their adopted families. There were so few of them that acquiring them became a competition. Eika decided the safest place for her and Alioth would be on Earth, where they could blend in with the humans who knew nothing about her son’s rare species. With a sformer on hand, Eika used her questionable connections to secure a spot for her and Alioth on a ship heading to Earth and started their new lives in the United Kingdom, changing their names to Erica and Ali Izan.

Earth was already a strange planet that they had to adjust to, but they were also living in Post-World War II London, and they didn’t stay long before moving onto the next country. That was just the start of Ali’s trek around the world. The sformer masked his glittering skin, but it didn’t hide his slow aging, and to avoid suspicion, they never lived in the same place for too long. The young Djayyar learned early on that there was no point developing close relationships outside of his mother. He could never tell humans the truth about who he really was, and by the time he grew comfortable in his new home, it was time to leave again.

There were merits to their nomadic lifestyle. Ali became something of an Earth expert after being exposed to so many cultures. By the time he had the appearance of a teenage human, he was fluent in numerous languages and had attended so many schools that his brain was full of useless trivia. He loved to learn though, so after he graduated university the first time, he simply moved, changed his name, and re-enrolled himself into another one.

Ali met Skylar at NYU. It started as an easy friendship, but Ali almost immediately fell for the quirky human in a way he never had before. He was so used to keeping people at a safe distance, never indulging in anything more than a quick fling or a one night stand. Maybe it was because they had such a strong connection, but there was something about Skylar that made it too hard for Ali to let him go like he did with the others. Despite his feelings, he was still careful to keep his secret. He no longer needed the sformer to disguise himself, but he always wore his contacts around Skylar and was as vague as possible about his past. Ali knew it couldn’t last, eventually he would have to explain why he barely aged, but he still wanted to try to make it work.

Ali would never get the chance to tell Skylar the truth anyway. A few months into their relationship, the human seemingly left out of nowhere with barely anything but a weak explanation. To Ali, it was like he disappeared out of thin air. Other than the fumbling voicemail he received years later, he never spoke to him again. It was a harsh reminder that he wasn’t meant for serious relationships, and he told himself that would be the last time he let a human get too close. It was also the last time he enrolled in university, deciding it was about time he started the career stage of his life.

Just like with schools, he didn’t stay at a job long before moving on to something else. With all his credentials, there was almost no limit to what he could do, it was just a matter of what he wanted to do, which was harder for him to figure out. He tried a little bit of everything–teaching, translating, even the monotonous nine to five job, but nothing ever stuck. Part of him believed the reason he couldn’t settle was because he didn’t belong on Earth–that the only way he would find his true place was if he returned to the stars.

Ali and his mother never fully lost communication with their home planet. The plan was always to return when Ali was mature enough to protect himself, but they got so comfortable with their life on Earth that they kept delaying their journey back until it was too late. The sad reality of having an Erkuss mother was that Ali would out-live her by several hundred years, but that time came sooner than he was ready for. Now that he was alone on Earth, he finally got in touch with one of his mom’s old contacts, Clause Mazrinon, and arranged to get a ride and a job on The Prosperity, serving as their translator and cultural expert. He has no idea that he’ll be running into someone from his past.

Skills: Aside from the abilities he was born with as a Djayyar, Ali is fluent in multiple languages after living all around the world. Ali took advantage of his slow aging and attended university multiple times, so he’s just extremely smart in general and has a plethora of useless knowledge. He’s basically an expert on everything related to Earth from history to culture.

Joshua-Usyk undercard: Lawrence Okolie set for first world title defense, Callum Smith returns

Joshua-Usyk undercard: Lawrence Okolie set for first world title defense, Callum Smith returns

25 Aug by Ring TV Details of the supporting cast to Anthony Joshua’s huge IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO Heavyweight World Title showdown with Oleksandr Usyk at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday September 25 have been confirmed. The Heavyweight division’s biggest attraction puts his Unified crown on the line once more against former Undisputed Cruiserweight World Champion and pound-for-pound star Usyk live on Sky Sports Box Office in the UK and Ireland and on DAZN in over 170 countries and territories worldwide. WBO Cruiserweight World Champion Lawrence Okolie (16-0, 13 KOs) puts his World Title on the line for the first time against his Mandatory Challenger Dilan Prasovic (15-0, 12 KOs) following his crushing sixth round stoppage of Krzysztof Glowacki at The SSE Arena, Wembley back in March. By winning a World Title in just his sixteenth fight, the unbeaten 28-year-old from Hackney nicknamed ‘The Sauce’ emulated fellow Brits Tony Bellew, David Haye, Enzo Maccarinelli, Johnny Nelson and Carl Thompson who all previously held world crowns in the 200lb class. Montenegro’s Prasovic, a former WBO Cruiserweight Youth World Champion, sits at No.1 in the world with the governing body having won all fifteen of his fights since turning professional in October 2014, with twelve of those wins coming by way of knockout. Former WBA Super-Middleweight World Champion Callum Smith (27-1, 19 KOs) makes his highly anticipated ring return up at Light-Heavyweight against the Dominican Republic’ Lenin Castillo (21-3-1, 16 KOs) after his points loss to Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez out in Texas last December. Manchester Lightweight prospect Campbell Hatton (3-0) continues his education in the professional ranks when he takes on Spain’s Izan Dura (3-7) hot on the back of his comfortable points win over Jakub Laskowski on the first week of Matchroom Fight Camp. ‘The Albanian King’ Florian Marku (8-0-1, 6 KOs) looks to build on his impressive stoppage win over Rylan Charlton on the Avanesyan vs. Kelly undercard in February as he challenges Milan’s Maxim Prodan (19-0-1, 15 KOs) for the IBF International Welterweight Title and unbeaten Chicago Middleweight Christopher Ousley (12-0, 9 KOs) meets Russia’s Khasan Baysangurov (21-1, 11 KOs) for the WBA Intercontinental Title. Adam Smith, Head of Boxing Development for Sky Sports, said: “Joshua vs. Usyk will be an unmissable evening of action, with Lawence Okolie, Callum Smith and Campbell Hatton all featuring on a bumper bill at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, live on Sky Sports Box Office. “We’ve followed Lawrence Okolie’s career since the start and he’ll be determined to light up north London with an explosive defence of his WBO Cruiserweight belt. “Callum Smith is on a collision course with new World Title rivals, having joined the Light-Heavyweight division, and Campbell Hatton continues his journey up the pro ranks with the help of Matthew and Ricky Hatton. “AJ and Usyk then take centre stage as two Olympic gold medallists collide in the capital, in a hugely important World Heavyweight Title clash!” Joseph Markowski, DAZN EVP, said: “This is an action-packed card that will thrill boxing fans around the world. Callum Smith, Lawrence Okolie and Campbell Hatton are household names in their own right and are going to raise the roof at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the remarkable main event – featuring two great fighters whose difference in styles, personalities, and journeys will make for the perfect storm. It’s set to be an incredible night of boxing on DAZN across 170+ countries and territories.” Press release issued by Matchroom Boxing. GET THE LATEST ISSUE AT THE RING SHOP (CLICK HERE) or Subscribe

for Izan

I met izan, or, in her own words: “Name: Louise Izan Elin, Wahlander Lind (eh, kinda long, i know!!)”, in a Placebo chat room called the-raft back in 1999. Although we never met in person, she was a vibrant and interesting person to talk with, one of the most creative people I ever knew and I was lucky to have had her as my friend for the short period I did. We lost touch in the years after 2001, but she was always someone I remembered, and always thought would be there. It was with great shock and sadness to discover that she had died in 2004 when still so young, 25,  and under circumstances that I still think tragic.

I’ve always felt in a way a custodian of what she sent me in the time I knew her. That it should be shared rather than existing on my hard drive with the chance of it all being lost as so nearly happened last year. I’ve decided tumblr would be the best place having a strong artistic community. That this can serve as an archive, a celebration of what she shared with me. I know she had many friends around the world who cared about her.

(I’d previously uploaded a lot of this to a website, tumblr seems a more permanent home).

You can see much more about her on one of her closest friends websites, here:

http://uticaclub.livejournal.com/

I’ll try to gather together what I have including I believe some recordings she made.

Stuart (March 2017)

this is a side blog of my main tumblr

I don’t hold any copyright on ivan’s work, that must now no doubt belong to her family. If for any reason they wish me to remove any of what I’ve shared, please get in contact.

Cavendish ready to roll as cycling reboots after lockdown at Vuelta a Burgos | More sports News

Cavendish ready to roll as cycling reboots after lockdown at Vuelta a Burgos | More sports News

MADRID: The cycling season resumes following the coronavirus lockdown on Tuesday with a host of the sport’s big guns taking part in the opening stage of the Vuelta a Burgos. The 2020 edition of the stage race in Spain features a strong peloton, with riders preparing for a hectic run of prestigious events, with the three Grand Tours to be held in quick succession due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The UCI World Tour resumes on Saturday with the Strade Bianche. Professional cycling ground to a halt four months ago, with the last top-level race the Paris-Nice in March, which saw the final stage cancelled. In February, the UAE Tour ended early due to an outbreak of COVID-19, with Colombian Fernando Gaviria one of the first athletes in the world to test positive for the virus. UAE Team Emirates sprinter Gaviria, who did not confirm he had recovered until March 26 and did not travel back to Colombia until April, will be in action in Spain this week. “It’s time to pick up where we left off,” he told his team’s website, saying he was happy just to feel normal on a bike again. Gaviria’s teammate Fabio Aru said: “We are all eager to be able to pin a race number on our backs again and be back in the peloton.” Ineos’ Giro d’Italia champion Richard Carapaz and Vuelta a Burgos double defending champion Ivan Sosa will face stiff competition in Spain this week. Gaviria will be bidding for the sprints while veteran speed king Mark Cavendish is also back in the saddle after illness. In the first of five stages around the northen Spanish region, local hero Alejandro Valverde will likely be in the mix up the final stretch of a short, sharp ascent to the Mirador Del Castillo, which overlooks the town. The race culminates Saturday, by which time early-season form man Nairo Quintana of Arkea will have been able to judge his fitness over two mountain stages. Mads Pedersen will be easily picked out in his world champion rainbow jersey, while the appearance of 20-year-old Remco Evenepoel, a former Belgium youth football international, is hotly anticipated. Mikel Landa, one of cycling’s nearly men, is targeting victory for his new Bahrain McLaren team, which is managed by Rod Ellingworth and where he is supported by Cavendish. The 35-year-old British sprinter has 30 Tour de France stage wins to his name, but says he is going to Burgos for Landa. “We are going there to support Mikel, he’s in incredible form,” Cavendish said in a press release. But sports director Gorazd Stangelj said the Manxman would also get his moment in the sun. “We have tailored our strategy to open up a GC opportunity for Mikel, and sprint wins for Mark,” he said. Vuelta a Burgos stages: Stage 1, July 28: Burgos cathedral – Burgos Mirador del Castillo (157km) Stage 2, July 29: Castrojeriz – Villadiego (168km) Stage 3, July 30: Sargentes de Las Loras – Picon Blanco (150km) Stage 4, July 31: Gumiel de Izan – Roa de Duero (163km) Stage 5, August 1: Covarrubias – Lagunas de Neila (158km)
