#jade FLYING SOLO?????

[jadelemonadee]

“she’s probably not even mad at you” she’s literally optic nerve blocking me

[phoenixkaptain]

Gotta be honest, the idea that Luke wouldn’t send a child alone in an X-wing with only a droid for company is funny to me.

Like, we’re talking about the same Luke, right? The one who spent years bulls-eyeing womp rats and took the experience from that to then blow up the Death Star? The one who was like “This is a trap… I’m gonna walk right into it.” The one who was like “I will rescue my dear friend by waltzing in without a disguise and being as obnoxious as possible.” “How do we get out of this situation? How about we convince these small bear creatures that our droid is a god, that will probably work.” “I know Darth Vader is a murderer who murdered my Ben and is trying to murder me and all, but he is also my dad and therefore I love him.”

Luke would send a child in an X-wing without even fucking thinking about it! Do you REALLY think LUKE SKYWALKER is a reasonable human being?? Are you honestly trying to tell me that this man who has been driving the same fucking ship for like ten years would understand how dangerous it is to put an unsupervised child in a vehicle??? Do you really honestly truly think that Luke knows how to care for children????

You see, a lot of people like to portray Luke as perfect. And this is the same issue I have with people who portray Obi-Wan as perfect, or Yoda, or Mace, or literally any character in all of Star Wars because the whole point is that the are flawed human beings!

But it’s ESPECIALLY egregrious with Luke because I don’t know where any of you got this idea that Luke is a sweet summer child??? This man has a death count of over one million. This man had Seen Some Shit that it is literally impossible not to be affected by. Why do so many people assume that Luke at the end of the Trilogy is the same as Luke at the beginning of the Trilogy? He’s changed! He’s a different person! That’s what makes the Original Trilogy such a good trilogy!! It’s basic storytelling!!! A character canNOT be at the same place mentally as when they began the story, or else it’s not a good story!

But also, I hate the way this colours shipping fics with Luke. Like, listen. There is no ship where Luke should be the straightman of the relationship. Luke Skywalker just is not normal. He’s weird, he’s deranged, he’s so strange; he cannot be a straightman, it just doesn’t work. It’s so completely out of character it isn’t even funny.

The joy of shipping Luke is that every single thing that you can ship Luke with will come out the other sode looking rational.

Han Solo is a smuggler who hangs out with a Wookiee and who does extremely dangerous, stupid shit, but next to Luke?? Rational. Normal. Someone who uses their brain, Luke, take notes-

Din Djarin is a bounty hunter who decided that he would rather destroy an entire group of highly dangerous men than give up the cute kid he just found. But compared to Luke? At least he has equipment on him!

Mara Jade literally was mind-controlled by the Emperor and was Darth Vader’s coworker and was also a Jedi (something that no rational person would be honestly) and even she comes across as normal compared to Luke Skywalker.

I know this is rambly and disjointed and I know people disagree with me, but like??? Yes, I think Luke is great with kids. Yes, I think Luke is a good teacher. Yes, I think Luke is the type of person to wave goodbye as an infant flies off in his warship. I think Luke is the type of person who would throw a child into the air way too high and then catch them. Where did the idea that he’s the responsible parent come from? Luke is teaching infants how to use laser swords, do you REALLY THINK that’s what a responsible parent would do????

Also just got the text that my ward is partially locked down as a Covid ward again

Except a different ward has been the designated Covid ward for the last few months (so I've had less of a direct insight into numbers)

So either it's just us again

But that seems unlikely because if it was a planned designation as Covid ward they wouldn't have locked down that pod as that's the pod with a less powerful negative pressure ventilation system

Or it's overflow and thus the hospital Covid numbers have the entire other ward as designated Covid and now us as well

[incorrectbatfam]

If the batkids had never become a bat what superhero would they sidekick as instead, in your opinion?

I don't think all of them would've automatically become another hero's sidekick. Think about it: of the nearly 2 billion kids on Earth, only an atomic fraction of them get to witness superheroes firsthand, and even fewer go on to become sidekicks or heroes themselves.

Without Batman taking him on, I don't think Dick would've stuck around Gotham for very long after his parents' deaths. Canonically, he spent some time in the foster system, but I can easily see him ending up someplace else. My headcanon, because I'm a sucker for friends finding each other across timelines: he ends up in Central City and becomes best friends with Wally. They grow up together, but without the burden of superhero responsibilities. Instead of hanging out in Barry's lab, Wally is with Dick that day, so he never gains powers. Dick becomes an honorary West-Allen and instead of being a vigilante or cop, he pursues justice another way by becoming a journalist like Iris. But even with the West-Allens' company, he still goes home to his solo apartment and stays up at night wondering what it'd be like to come home to something different.

Jason still grows up in Crime Alley and tries to steal the Batmobile's tires. Bruce is still sympathetic and takes Jason in. But without Dick, there's no Robin and no mantle to inherit, so Jason becomes Bruce's son and his son only. He goes to school, has his friends and hobbies, and he knows about Batman but Bruce is adamant about keeping him out of danger. He never dies, so that's a plus. Without Dick or Wally as founding members of the Teen Titans, the only times he interacts with Roy are a small handful of corporate trips or galas in Star City. He grows up as an only child, which isn't special in itself. But every time he's greeted with an empty house, he can't help but wonder if things should be different. It's something he can't put to words himself, let alone talk to Bruce or Alfred, so he keeps to himself the pervading feeling that something—somethings—is missing.

Since Batman exists though, so would little Tim's determination to deduce Batman's identity. But as brilliant as he is, it's much more difficult when he can't match the butts Robin's acrobatic moves with the Flying Graysons. He narrows down the possibilities, but there are still a number of people who could fit Batman's profile. And when he finally figures it out... there's nothing else to do. There's no Robin opening for him to blackmail his way into. What I can see him doing is trying to become a new sidekick, but after Bruce turns him down, he just goes and creates his own justice-seeking persona anyway. But there's a different air to it. He doesn't have Robin—a fellow kid—to model himself after. Plus, he's on his own. There is no batfamily or Young Justice. And it's likely his parents would be still alive, so I think that would shape him into a more jaded vigilante—perhaps even an anti-hero. He's got a more different MO, and he's both a valuable ally and formidable opponent. But he still feels like he's not where he should be.

Damian would still be raised by the League of Assassins, but without the Robin precedent, Talia really wouldn't have a reason to send him to Gotham and train with Bruce. I want to be a little optimistic though, so I think instead of growing up to be the League's heir, he starts to see how messed up everything is and makes his getaway, similar to Cass. I headcanon that he crosses paths with Cass and, with their shared background and understanding of each other, they take on the world together. Instead of being assassins or vigilantes, they work together to unlearn their fighting instinct. I see one of two outcomes: their past catches up to them and they have to make a stand, or they're never caught and they open a cat café together instead. I like the latter better. Cass makes the drinks and Damian tends the cats. Despite the tranquility, there's an unspoken agreement between them that what they have isn't the full picture.

Barbara still becomes Batgirl, because that's what Bette was before her, and she works in tandem with Batman and Batwoman. But without Dick, her relationship with the bats is purely business. She still gets shot, becomes disabled, and continues her career as Oracle as well as her relationship with the Birds of Prey. I think eventually, Steph, who starts out as Spoiler as per canon, becomes Babs's mentee as Batgirl, but not Bruce's (again, no Robin). They don't have any connections to Dick or Tim, so instead, they use that time to build a sisterly type of relationship. Rather than dying and then coming back as Spoiler, Steph carries on being Batgirl. But when patrols are done and she hangs up the cowl to work on the latest cases with Babs, she can't help but notice that HQ is too cold and quiet. But she can't explain why.

Harper and Cullen get away from their abusive dad and Harper tries her hand at college before dropping out. Batman still saves them and Harper becomes Bluebird, but because vigilantes aren't as normalized, she's met with more skepticism from her brother. Nonetheless, she pushes on. But it's a lonelier pursuit. There's no one she can call for backup, no one who understands her problems, and the only person to patch her up is an inexperienced Cullen. Without Batman at the center, she turns out a little like Tim—she develops her own moral compass which might not necessarily agree with the other heroes. The victories are bittersweet as every decision is second-guessed, but the silver lining is that the siblings still got each other. Still, sometimes they wish they weren't all that they have.

Duke would never have been part of We Are Robin nor become Bruce's protegé after that. Again, I'm going with the good timeline, so Duke's parents are okay and he grows up normally. He develops his powers, but doesn't get much guidance besides the secondhand information he gleans from reading about other metahumans. He probably wouldn't take to the streets, but instead, uses his powers to trace back evidence and provide the vigilantes help in a behind-the-scenes way. Maybe he incidentally comes across a shard of Nth metal while surveying a crime scene. And since Nth metal allows him to see into other dimensions, that's actually what happens when he takes it home.

But he can't make heads or tails of what he sees. A traffic light uniform, then a blue uniform gracefully flipping from a skyscraper. Teenage heroes gathered with pizza. A crowbar, an explosion, and a red helmet. Cameras and clones and wingsuits. A child getting dropped off by his mother and being mentored by a Batman that looks different from this one. Busier commlinks, Batgirl using sign language, a hero-themed restaurant. Himself, wearing red and green, surrounded by kids he's never seen.

And then it gets weird. All those strangers out of uniform. A kitchen table with a blonde girl and a guy with a white streak arm wrestling for the last slice of pie. A spiky-haired kid switching the salt and sugar, then an older teen putting the wrong one in his coffee. The Waynes' butler feeding two dogs, a cat, a cow, and a turkey. A young woman in a wheelchair trying on new scarves with a blue-haired girl and her brother. A red-headed woman and a woman in a fuzzy cat sweater debating something. The oldest kid and an Asian girl sharing their playlists. And in the middle of it all is Duke himself, sitting in a living room with CEO Bruce Wayne, sipping hot apple cider while making fun of a bad movie.

Then Duke puts the shard down and covers it. He doesn't know what it all means. Should he should go downstairs and tell his parents, or wait to tell one of the vigilantes?

In the end, he does neither. Some missing pieces are better kept secret.

Dark Force Rising rant incoming

So I’m open to the possibility that I am Enjoying the Media Incorrectly buuuuuuuuuuuuut Dark Force Rising is a comedy, right? Like, approaching a farce? If I were in charge of turning this into a movie my first step would be to get Chuck Jones on the line. But in that way I think it captures the OT energy perfectly because, like, the OT is very campy. I’d low-key started to forget that. Hey Disney I just remembered this is supposed to be fun

Come to Dark Force Rises we have:

Mara “No Really I’m Still Going to Kill Luke Skywalker” Jade. Mara “Imperial Policymaker” Jade. Mara “But I Thought I Was the Emperor’s Special-est Killing Machine” Jade. Mara “The Problem With the Modern Empire Is No One Trusts Each Other Anymore :’(” Jade. Mara “Exotic Dancer???” Jade. Mara “Has a Backdoor Access Code to All Imperial Star Destroyers and Is Somehow Still Bitter About Losing Her Position” Jade. She is nothing like what I expected and I love her

Luke “Lesbian Energy” Skywalker [Stand aside, Multiday Character Bonding Hiking Trip – Multiday Character Bonding Road Trip (in what I’m picturing as a Toyota Corolla) is coming]

Leia “What to Expect When You’re Expecting Everyone Else to Get on Your Motherfucking Level” Organa Solo

Han “The Clever One” Solo

Wedge “Fundamentally Just Some Guy” Antilles

Lando “Please Let This Be a Normal Field Trip” Calrissian

Taron “Work Friend Accidentally Becomes Real Friend” Karrde. Unfortunately he’s the only killable protag currently on the field soooooo

And then we have Thrawn. Poor sweet Thrawn. My guy. He’s playing 3D chess and everyone else – they’re not just eating the pieces, they’re losing the pieces entirely on accident. He’s always two steps ahead, but the protags have wandered off the trail because they saw something shiny. He sees the other characters start acting more and more erratic and he’s like “at last! My adversaries have developed a more intricate strategy!” and goes veering off in a different direction, and then smash cut to the protags being like “…wait he literally had us that time where did he go?” He’s flying circles around a New Republic plot that straight up doesn’t exist. He manages to capture the Falcon but ends up handing it to Luke as a gift-wrapped getaway car because of shenanigans he simply had no way to predict. He just wants an int-build playmate and every other character min/maxed charisma. He’s rapidly becoming my scrunkly meow meow

English Translation:

Verse 1:

Wandering faraway; who is the enemy and who is a friend of the wanderer?

During these ten years of mist and clouds along with a cup of wine,

This body is like a fluttering silk flying through the beautiful city of Jiangnan;

After the ice melts, the flowers and the moon are far away facing towards the willows of Pingjiang river.

Pre-chorus 1:

Intoxicated in a drunken dream of three autumns[1] in the Jianghu,[2]

The good and evil of the human heart are solely for love and grievance,

Yet still not able to forget the promise with a lifelong friend to age old together…

Chorus:

Yet like this ancient dream of grasses,

Now unrestrained for the rest of lifetime, too apathetic to know pleasure and regrets.

Only longing to engage in a battle of dancing with swords,

Holding a cup of wine, inquiring with a smile to comfort this solitude man.

Deep madness and anger merely buried in the vast Underworld,[3]

Yet who is the one holding the lantern in the spectral ghost valley and for whom?

Here in this place forever, exists the mundane world[4] with eternal light.

Verse 2:

Ten thousand ghosts fill through the opening of the light ray exposure;

Turning to one side, there is the lean, graceful white robe of a certain person.

Enchanted and fell in love after long days, even a thin quilt feels much warmer than a raccoon fur coat. 

As long as we stay together, even the cold, snowy night in Bashan feels as warm as it does during the day.

Pre-chorus 2:

Whose hand is it that passes right through the jade pot of an icily cold heart?

Not unless this thread of love is plucked out [5] that the truth can be clear;

The most unbearable thing to look at is the fact that this spring breeze will never be the same anymore.

Chorus:

Yet like this ancient dream of grasses,

Now unrestrained for the rest of lifetime, too apathetic to know pleasure and regrets.

Only longing to engage in a battle of dancing with swords,

Holding a cup of wine, inquiring with a smile to comfort this solitude man.

Deep madness and anger merely buried in the vast Underworld,

Yet who is the one holding the lantern in the spectral ghost valley [6] and for whom?

Here in this exact place forever, exists the mundane world with eternal light.

Break:

But through this one ray of light,

How fortunate to be able to pay back this passion surrounding several rounds of life and death?

Yet who cares about those past events?

Truth or false; this heartbeat clearly still lingers with warmth!

Last Chorus:

The wind peak cliff is far away; there is no place to shelter in,

This foolish world is never limited to a square inch.

Unsheathing the sword, wandering for good spring in faraway.

——————————————

*Translator's Notes:

The literal title of this song is “Looking for Spring in the End of the World”, but I translated it more in Faraway Wanderers’ version: “Wandering for Spring Faraway”.

[1]: Chinese proverb, one day like three autumns: missing someone (most cases, lovers) felt eternally long, even one day feels like waiting three autumns to pass. 

[2]: Jianghu, refers to Chinese wuxia, xianxia world (the martial arts world)

[3]: literally written “The Yellow Springs”, which means the Underworld (where the dead go in the afterlife)

[4]: Red dust means mundane world

[5]: in my opinion, can also refer to the phrase “tug/pluck at one’s heartstrings” which means to stir up emotions. 

[6]: Ghost den, but in case of Tian Ya Ke I would like to translate it as valley :D

*Jiangnan, Pinjiang are the names of region in China.

I'm on vacation at the moment, so decided to look up the Biggles series for the first time, since it is referenced in Red Dwarf and other shows in the UK. I have an interest in children's lietrature and how it's changed over the time.

Prior to this I knew nothing about them. Just hearing the name Biggles gave me the impression that maybe they were quaint Enid Bylton / Famous Five - esq tales. Or maybe like the TinTin adventures. (plus just assumed - accurately - there would outdated themes. There is outdated language and attitudes. I wasn't surprised to hear about that.)

However, going by the GoodRead reviews I was surprised to see that they didn't glamourise war at all. They were gritty and dark, with death being a constant theme. Later reprints removed swearing and references to alcohol; for example, whisky is swapped out for lemonade. (war is ok but underage drinking? No thanks!)

So what's the story?

James Bigglesworth (the names will never not be funny) is a 16 year old, born and raised in India to civil servant parents, fluent in Hindi and Latin with a preference for writing in Hindi.

The first world war begins and James lies about being 17, so he joins the RAF a year underage.

Like so many airmen of the time he receives just a few hours instruction before he's made to fly solo. With only 15 hours of practise he's posted to France.

He sees a few colleagues killed - very quickly - and has many near misses himself. The experience turns him into a jumpy and jaded teenager, smoking and drinking to cope. Later in the series he grows into a cool and calm leader.

The initial books drew on the author's own experience of the war, and contains many accurate details about aviation and the development of its technology. The later books move towards more "adventure".

Anyway, the real reason for this post is that it's easy to see some of Ace in all this - obviously Ace is a mix of different popular heoros - but anyway I think it's easy to see how Rimmer may have shaped this persona built on what he was reading as a kid.

We don't see much of Io in the series, but as discussed before it gives off strong space imperialism vibes and a very suffocating conservative culture.

Rimmer's parents had a very clear plan for what they wanted his life to be like - the plan was that he would be a test pilot like his big brother, John.

I also think the references to Biggles provides a small hint at the conflict in Rimmer's personality. He can be very cowardly when he overthinks a situation, but then brave in other situations. Like shooing away the polymorph from Kryten. He idolises war and successful strategists but is also disgusted when he sees the consequences of fasicism happening right of him. His future self lost his morals as he rubbed shoulders with some of histories worst people, but his present day self was willing to die to avoid becoming that version of himself.

Deep down Rimmer would rather be Biggles than Napoleon, but having courage and morals is built on self-worth and self-confidence, and his parents never gave him those things. However, he does learn it over time although, Nano Rimmer does seem to be a bit of step backwards from the Rimmer who sacrificed himself in series 6 and became Ace in series 7.

In series 10, it was good to see Rimmer save the day by thinking up a strategy that didn't involve sacrificing others as pawns - like in Meltdown.

My favourite Scottish singer, Jim Diamond was born on September 28th 1953 in Bridgeton, Glasgow.

Born to Sarah (nee Harper), a seamstress, and Lawrence, a firefighter, who would habitually get up to sing at parties, we all had a relative like this didn't we? Apart from his father, his earliest musical inspirations were soul music greats such as Ray Charles, Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. By the age of 14 he had joined his first band, The Method, and later he became lead singer of the Glasgow group Jade, touring the country playing club and college gigs. Then he embarked on a European tour with the band Gully Foyle (he had seen their advertisement for a lead singer in Glasgow’s Evening Times), which included some dates supporting Procol Harum.

His next stop was a quintet called Bandit, who were signed by Arista Records but they swept away by the emergence of punk rock. Bandit's one album was enough to prompt the NME’s reviewer, Tony Stewart, to comment that he was “an inspired and remarkable vocalist who projects himself well, displaying not only a passion for the music but a staggering range, which he uses fully”.

Bandit split up soon afterwards, but Diamond and Bandit’s guitarist, Danny McIntosh (now Kate Bush’s husband) went on to work with Alexis Korner. Word was spreading about Diamond and his powerfully expressive singing, and he was invited to fly to Los Angeles to form a band with the guitarist and David Bowie collaborator Earl Slick and the drummer Carmine Appice, who had been playing with Rod Stewart, but before the project could come to fruition, Diamond was in demand again, returning to England to form PhD and embarking on the series of hits that sealed his reputation.

Then Diamond contracted hepatitis, which prevented him from touring and prompted PhD to split. In 1984 he was back in action as a solo artist, triumphing with the No 1 heartbreaker I Should Have Known Better, often remembered for its soaring “I-I-I-I-I” chorus, which believe it or not, I pride myself on singing welle, The single, which was from his album Double Crossed , earned him a nomination for an Ivor Novello award.

Diamond’s career cooled after his intense burst of success in the early and mid-80s, although in 1985 Diamond went to No 1 again with the celebrity ensemble The Crowd on You’ll Never Walk Alone, a charity record for families of the victims of the Bradford City stadium fire. In 1986 his second solo album, Desire For Freedom, delivered the No 5 hit Hi Ho Silver, a song commissioned for Boon, starring Michael Elphick, and featuring yet another of Diamond’s catchy choruses, this time set to a briskly pumping reggae beat.

In 1993 he released the album Jim Diamond, which reached No 16 on the UK charts, and went on tour performing acoustic versions of his catalogue of songs. In the late 90s he teamed up with the saxophonist Chris “Snake” Davis, renowned for his studio work with M People, George Michael, Paul McCartney and many more, and they performed as The Blue Shoes. With the Hammond organist Paul Birchall, they also worked on Diamond’s 2005 album Souled and Healed. In 2009 PhD reunited to record a new album, Three.

In 2011 Diamond joined up with a group of Scottish musicians, including veterans from Wet Wet Wet and the Proclaimers, to record City of Soul, a collection of soul music cover versions to raise money for Cash for Kids.

Sadly on n 8 October 2015 Jim Diamond passed away as a result of a pulmonary edema – a build-up of fluid in his lungs. The family later said they were unaware he was unwell, his daughter Sara said “Dad was quite a private man, he didn’t court celebrity, and the only reason he did what he did was because he loved making music." adding “Dad’s song (I should have known better) went to Number one at the same time as Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas was released.

“He was over the moon, but told everyone to go and buy the charity single.” Sara added that the one thing her dad enjoyed using his fame for was to help others. She said: “Dad was always very aware of how lucky we had been as a family, in terms of health and wealth.

“He was very passionate about helping charities. He saw it as his duty to do what he could to give something back.”

RIP Jim Diamond, dubbed "Scotland's Ray Charles.

Star Wars Pilots Tournament - Round 2A

Who's the better pilot?

Propaganda:

Luke Skywalker:

blew up the Death Star. twunk of all time

Jaina Solo:

She is literally the Sword of the Jedi, she had all of her father’s piloting skills and then some due to her force sensitivity, she was leading the Twin Suns squadrons against the Vong and also managed to trick them into thinking she’s a literal goddess

She starts flying the Falcon at age nine. She rebuilds her own TIE fighter from a wreck and installs a hyperdrive. She's a super competent Rogue Squadron pilot in the New Republic military. She sets records flying through asteroid fields. She's helmed X-wings, TIE fighters, freighters, her aunt's military grade custom shuttle, and just about anything she can get her hands on. She is the top pilot in that timeline.

Daughter of Han Solo, granddaughter of Anakin Skywalker, trained by Mara Jade Skywalker and given command of the Twin Suns Squadron by Luke Skywalker

[phoenixborn]

The so far dormant entity's ear caught the words she's been looking for to hear throughout the nights. Open mic. A last moment check to make sure everything was beyond perfect:

“RAISE YOUR HORNS !”

The incredibly gritty howl reverberated throughout the palace, although instead of horns, wings broke free from her body.

“RAISE 'EM HIGH !” almost a battle cry, the entity glittering in gold and starlight made her way towards the stage with utmost ease & lack of care

“LET 'EM SOAR, LET 'EM FLY ” impossibly strong vibrato and effortless switches between clean and raw rasp vocals, without needing a microphone, her wings seemingly acting as an amplifier

“UP THROUGH THE HEAVENS, FOREVERMORE” fire began to envelop her body, obscuring the golden wonder from the eyes

“LET 'EM RAIN DOWN; RAISE YOUR HORNS!” Cindy reached the stage at last, stepping out of the whirl of cosmic fire in an entirely different outfit, the Cosmic Dusk.

“Now, that I have all of your attention,” grit still present in her speaking voice as well along with a cuttingly playful edge “I have to ask: do you settle for less? Less than what you could be or could get? Obviously not, if you are attending to this ball. I know most of you run for the hills at the sound of rock n roll, but don't bolt just yet. I have something digestible even for such fine crowd.”

The entity chuckled, yes she will be holding back, still a better outcome than trying and succeeding in outscreaming nobility. The rhythm although heavy, she was true to her promise and reigned the previously displayed raw force of her voice.

“I know what you want, I know what you like: You're obsessively undressing me with your eyes.” still without a microphone, her voice surrounding the crowd nicely “I know what you need, I know how to play. I know how to give without giving it all away.”

“I got all my moves! I know how to tease, I know what to do and wanna make you believe~” she broke away from the crowd for a minute to address the next lines to Beelza herself

“That you, baby, you're special. A whole 'nother level.” a ghost caress of her cheek with one of her radiating wings before stepping towards the crowd again

“And you wanna touch me, take me home tonight, yeah, you maybe I'll let ya” her own gloved hands skating across her body, head turning towards Beelza once more

“But I'll never settle, for anything less than special, special, special, special.”

“I know who you are, got your number down.” Cindy sat at the very edge the stage, allowing a demon to run his talons up her thigh high boots “I know how to turn you on” a purr before a sharp push with her heel as she stood “and turn your ego down.”

“And I hear all your friends, I know what they say: If you get dishonest promise I won't hesitate” a breathy, seductive tone in extremely sharp contrast of her first introduction of earth shattering vocals

“To put out the fire, to put up a wall! Don't ruin it by thinking you're the be-all and end-all.” an immediate slip back to the previous volume, playing with her voice so effortlessly as if it was as easy as breathing

“That you baby, you're special, a whole 'nother level.” this time the singer sought out a different member of the crowd, a beautiful succubus dressed in purple shades “And you wanna touch me, take me home tonight, yeah, you, maybe I'll let ya. I'll never settle, for anything less than special, special, special, special.” jade sprinkled with golden stars fluttered close at the guitar solo; this is what she craved. What she dreamed of. And she will be damned if she doesn't deliver.

“I know what you want, I know what you like, trying to convince me with your ‘meet me backstage’ smile.” she wagged a finger with an all knowing grin, slithering down to a squat, close enough to touch; that if someone dared to with such wings looming above them “But I got all my moves, I know how to tease, I know what to do and wanna make you believe!”

“That, you baby, you're special like some kind of rebel.”

“And you wanna touch me, take me home tonight!” switching into a sharper, aggressive tone as the song eventually drew to a close “Yeah, you! Well, maybe I'll let ya!”

“But I'll never settle.”

“For anything less than special, special, special, special !”

Cindy allowed the last beats to close the performance, bathed in the spotlight and her own radiance

“Was that so bad was it now?” she asked, voice filled with smug with satisfaction

“Want to try something heavier? I can last the whole night.” the innuendo perfectly on purpose, although a glance at Beelza “Or as long as it's allowed.” she corrected, though she was curious who had the guts to perform after her.

I don’t know what two dozen moons translates to in the willow universe, but I think in another ask you said Evil Kit ™ was gone for 2 years? In regards to the snippet from earlier, aside from believing she deserves to be punished does Kit also sort of just not know how to let people help her anymore? I’m imagining that scene follows something she does for her hand and during her training under the crone she only had herself to take care of her wounds, mend her clothes, etc. and I can see Kit just being like well better take care of this and Jade watching in horror and being like I can HELP! And Kit being like what do you mean help?

My moon math is 1 moon = 1 month so that's my fanfic math for ya.

You aren't too far off with this though. Kit's been on her own in terms of taking care of herself. She did have to stitch herself up more than once. The only time she was helped with healing was when Doom gutted her and it required Lich to magic the wound closed. Other than that, Kit's been flying solo in terms of her self for 2 years.

But yeah, you might have a gist of how the scene goes down.

Admittedly I do not know any of your OCs but here's our chance to fix that!! 7, 9, 17, 21, and 32 for whichever two of them sound like the most fun to talk about!

asdfghjkl okay cool cool so I'll go with two from my favorite og work called Giant Flying Lizard Thing. Laura and Kaixon are long-lost dragon shapeshifter siblings

7. What fictional character do you think most influenced them, or is most like them (intentionally or not)?

Laura is actually pretty original. she's very dry and closed off and at face value her personality is almost apathetic and I've often struggled with her characterization because I haven't encountered many good references in the media I typically consume. I can't think of a character off the top of my head that really inspired her. That being said, the whole story did start out as a parody to the Mark of the Dragonfly book that I read a loooong time ago (10/10 would recommend, though it is geared towards young audiences) which has dragon-shapeshifter adjacents.

Kaixon is on the other end of the scale. He's super jaded, but he runs it through with chaotic humor and unhinged criminal activity. He's got a good heart but like. you know. it's buried under about fifteen layers of trauma, self-hate, pessimism, loneliness, etc. Think Kanan pre-Hera. Kanan wasn't a base for his character, however, which is ironic because the more I think about it the more similarities I can point out. I did make Kaixon before I even knew Kanan existed okay I swear. Kaixon was probably more inspired by guys like Keefe Sencen from KOTLC or Han Solo.

9. Pick a quote from Avatar: The Last Airbender that describes them.

Oh shoot this is a hard one. give me a second while I pull up a list of atla quotes.

okay here's Laura's: “Step aside, filth.” —Zuko, Episode 1.15, “Bato of the Water Tribe” She's not super creative, but when she does express emotion it's very intense and often violent. This quote is blunt and to the point, and quite possibly the most generous warning she could ever give the scum bag she's about to beat up. Usually she just jumps them (Shane is proud of her for using her words).

This one is for Kaixon: “You sound like my nephew, always thinking you need to do things on your own without anyone’s support. There is nothing wrong with letting the people who love you help you.” —Iroh, Episode 2.08, “The Chase” He's very non-trusting and pushes people away every chance he gets. While it's kind of a thing to be a lone gunslinger in his career as a professional criminal, he has accumulated a few close friends against his better judgement, which he seemed frustratingly unaware of.

17. How healthy are their familial relationships?

HAHAHAHA oh boy

So everything was great at the start of course. Kaixon ("Drayce" at the time. he changed his name when he became a bounty hunter) was Laura's beloved protective older brother and everyone doted on her because she was baby and cute and full of life. then their parents were brutally murdered by slavers and they were separated and they both assumed the other was dead. Eventually Laura was adopted much later by a really nice lil family clan who were very accommodating of her traumatic past and triggers. they help her feel like a person again which is super great we love to see it. She does have a bit of a rivalry with her adoptive cousin Hally but only because Hally is super competitive and Laura totally forgot how to be nice. Kaixon never got adopted lol read: doesn't trust anyone. by the time his parents were killed he was old enough to make it on his own so he never put much effort into finding new people. He does get forcefully adopted by a few of his friends, but they're not super consistent relationships because he forces himself to work alone most of the time. They're trying. it's okay, it'll work out eventually.

21. What is their love language?

Laura expresses love by committing acts of service. This stems a lot from her sense of inadequacy, and growing up in a system of merit where she was rewarded or punished based on the quality of her performance. While she knows in her head that the people who love her would never hold her to the standards she was conditioned with in her formative years, it's knee-jerk instinct at this point. She always wants to prove that she's a valuable asset. On the flip side, she feels love by spending quality time with her family. Her family and the people she values most are what she hoards as a dragon cryptid, so being near them and spending time with them and doing fun things with them and knowing they're safe makes her feel really happy and fulfilled.

Kaixon is also a mix of the two. He won't go out of his way to spend time with people he loves since it's habit for him to isolate himself, but he deeply appreciates surprise visits from his friends (especially that friend if you know what I mean 😉). He uses his actions to show he cares about something or someone. no feat is too small. this boy will go above and beyond to any length necessary to prove his devotion and commitment. He'll do anything. seriously he will do anything <3

32. Rate on a scale of 1 to 10 how likely they are to commit a crime.

Okay this is funny. First of all, I need to establish that the government in this story is hella corrupt so a lot of the actual good things are considered crimes and a lot of the bad things are fully legal (read: active slave trade).

Laura is suuuuper unhinged and has poor impulse control especially when it comes to Shane. She has definitely eaten people for insulting him before. no one touch her precious little sunshine man. Also she's just super opinionated, and because she's not human she has a few physical advantages over most public offenders and is a lot more likely to get away with doing illegal stuff. I'll give her a 6/10.

Kaixon is the most wanted man in the kingdom. Doing crimes is literally his profession. 10/10.

Thank you super duper much @kanerallels for the ask! I always love going off about my oc babies my children my beloved muffins! They are so dear to me and I will NEVER tire of talking about them! I hope you enjoyed Laura and Kaixon feel free to keep the asks coming

Game 18 From the Edge of My Seat Thurs, June 27 7:00pm EDT Connecticut @ Washington

Starting: WASH: Atkins, Dolson, Hines-Allen, Richards, Vanloo (Austin hip recovery, Sykes foot injury, Edwards back injury, Samuelson hand injury) CONN: Bonner, Carrington, Harris, Jones, Thomas

1st Quarter Yooooooo, the injuries. Get well soon, all. Austin, Sykes, and Samuelson are all out tonight and the next SEVEN GAMES. DiDi getting the start—first in her career—let's go DiDi! And let's go and play some good basketball. We force a last second shot (and miss) on our first defensive stand. JVL runs the floor and lays it in without contest. DiDi deflects the ball out of bounds twice in our second defensive stand, versus DeWanna Bonner, the second constituting a block. She almost gets a third deflection, but gets more than ball that time. Yish hits a 3. Bonner goes reverse off an O-board for the Sun. A messy play leaves us 3 seconds to inbound and score. JVL inbounds it to Ty's butt, turns, hangs and gets the last second bucket. ELITE. An Earl 3 misses but DiDi is there to recover and kick out to JVL beyond the arc, who puts it up lightning quick and it goes down. Dolson is left alone at the nail and drains it. The Connecticut defense is out of step. We get a defensive rebound and Stef goes straight for the three—swish. I'm flying. It's 15-10. SHE GOES AGAIN! SUN CAN'T SHINE WITH STEF RAINING ALL THESE POINTS! We do need to check these fouls though. Here's nice calm offense off an inbound and we find Shatori for 3, $$$$$. Stef blocks Breezy and then we force a turnover. Another great possession and Shatori finds Jade cutting solo to the hoop. Lead = 9. The Sun starters have not rested. Worst call of the season so far against the Mystics. It's not that big of a deal but they get Stef for being near Jones, the replay does not appear to show any contact outside of their shorts brushing up. McWin speculating that it may have come before and mistakenly been called a shooting foul. Whatever. She deserved a rest anyway. Yish hits a last second flush from deep to cap a 21-6 run. Timeout Sun. The Sun find and work a mismatch out of the timeout and grab 2 pts. In now is Veronica Burton, who wildly was not picked up by any team this year, but got the call from the Sun recently. She deserves to be playing. Expansion, expansion! Shot clock gets low and Ariel takes it upon herself to get the job done. The other way Hines-Allen has a big time block. Shatori gets the steal! And does it herself. There's too much excitement to summarize more briefly. Bonner hits a three to calm things down a bit for Connecticut. But too late, the damage is in, we have THIRTY TWO points in the first quarter. 32-21

2nd Quarter JVL opens the second quarter with a Chelsea Gray Patented Off-Balance Single-Leg Fader as the seconds dwindle. Jade hits a corner 3 and it's a quick 5-0 run. Coach White calls time. Our team is as hyped as I have seen them all season. The Sun come out of the timeout looking for answers, and find DB, their only answer all night so far. She gets a quick 6 pts. Some silly turns on our end and the lead has dropped back to 10. Now DC missed shots are doing favors for The Sun—our once famous lead is only 4 and we need time. This is gonna be a ride. We have briefly (I hope) forgotten how to play this sport. We give up the lead. At this urgent moment we find Stef on the perimeter and take it back. Burton goes 3 to tie it up, then Stef throws a dime to Ariel under the basket. We string together a couple good moments but Burton hits a buzzer 3 to end the half and cut into the energy. 50-47

3rd Quarter Carrington has 3 to start things off. Stef answers—of course she does. A nice pass from JVL to Yish. Earl forces a turn. Stef finally misses, 23 minutes of gameplay in. Carrington makes hers to start an 11-0 run for Connecticut. There's been some moments that would be comedic if we still had that lead, but now they just make me wonder if I really saw what I saw. Earl got popped in the face, no call. They are checking to see if her nose is broken/concussion protocol. Also there's an official review for hostile act, flagrant given. It was not intentional or anything. Jado swishes the step back 3. DB drops a deeeeeeep 3 and plenty of jaws in the arena as the shot clock expires. To cap off the tragedy of errors that has been this 3rd quarter, Coach White gets a tech for complaining about a no call on a Jado side step jumper with 1.8 seconds on the clock. The technical free throw is made by Shatori, tying the game to head to the 4th. This has been an interesting game.

4th Quarter Slow start to the 4th. Shatori takes on 3 Suns and they can't touch her. Next possession she hesitates then shoots it in Banham's face for 3. Long 2 excuse me. Some nice, efficient offensive plays for the Mystics now. Ty hits a 3 to bring the Sun back within 1. It's back and forth now. 5 minutes to go. An and-1 converted followed by a Sun shot clock violation give us a hint of momentum. Stef throws a perfect hail mary pass to Earl to catch and release under the basket as the buzzer goes. It's strong defense by both teams now. Mystics have a 5-point lead with 2 minutes remaining. We're struggling with getting the plays we want now, and Ty hits another 3. AT steals and they tie it up with 24 seconds. We hold for one shot and can't get it. I don't like that—I prefer when they work early. They haven't done well this season with last second actions. 82-82 it's overtime.

OT Breezy falls on Stef during the jump ball and Stef is called for a foul, her fifth. The fouls she gets are just so incredibly stupid. Ty gets in the way of a pass and Carrington gets an easy 3. Ariel loses the handle on the next possession and goes to ground but not near the basketball, Carrington converts. 85-89 2:22 left. JVL gets 3 off a timeout. Earl gets an elbow to the shoulder and foul is called on her—Eric challenges. Unsuccessful. We can't score on the next, Carrington can, a 3. JVL misses her response, but Shatori rebounds and Yish goes in strong for an and-1 opportunity. 1 point game. 15 seconds. Mystics possess, trailing. We shoot a tough shot instead of sending Myisha downhill and miss. 91-94 final. One to watch for sure. Bad mistakes made at the end of regulation and OT.
