Awad, Mona: Rouge

The book’s themes centre on consumption and perfecting the body. Much of it is reminiscent of the denizens of the mortal garden. Vague cannibalism and vampiric vibes but the latter distinctly not in a hunt way. A lot of juxtaposition of sterility and cleanness with fleshliness and revulsion. Towards the end of the book, the main character finds herself in a production line-esque march to some unknown doom. The book is tinged with several powers (haven’t even touched on the spooky mirror-dwelling dark prince who assumes the guise of whoever the watcher most desires) but flesh seems like the dominant one.

Barker, Clive: The Hellbound Heart

Frank Cotton is a hedonistic criminal selfishly devoted to sensual experience even if it harms others. Believing he has indulged in every pleasure the world can offer, Frank obtains the Lemarchand Configuration, a puzzle box said to open a "schism" or portal to an extradimensional realm of unfathomable pleasure ruled by beings called the Cenobites. Solving the box, he is confused and horrified when the Cenobites – horribly scarified creatures whose bodies have been modified to the point that they appear sexless and in constant pain – arrive. Frank still eagerly accepts the offer of experiences he has never known before, and the Cenobites take him to their realm, where they subject him to total sensory overload and he realises their devotion to sadomasochism is so extreme and their personalities so removed from humanity that they no longer differentiate between pain and pleasure and have no care to ever stop even if their subject no longer wishes the experience.

Sometime later, Frank's brother, Rory, moves into the home in England with his wife Julia. Unknown to Rory, Julia had an affair with Frank a week before their wedding and has lusted after him since. While in the attic, Rory accidentally cuts his hand and bleeds on the spot where Frank was taken by the Cenobites. The blood, mixed with semen Frank had left on the floor before he was taken, opens a dimensional schism. Frank returns, his body now reduced to a desiccated corpse by the Cenobites' experiments. Julia later finds him and promises to restore his body so he can truly live and they can be together. Julia seduces men at bars and kills them in the attic, where Frank feeds on their corpses.

Rory's friend Kirsty encounters Frank, who attempts to kill her. Kirsty grabs the puzzle box before fleeing and later accidentally opens it. The Cenobite intends to take Kirsty now that it is here, but she then reveals Frank is alive on Earth again. Though skeptical that one of their experiments could have escaped, the Cenobite is intrigued. It agrees that if Kirsty leads them to Frank and he confirms his identity, they will take him back and perhaps leave her alone.

Rory and Julia claim they killed Frank but Kirsty realizes the man she is speaking to is Frank wearing Rory's skin. Another altercation ensues, during which Frank inadvertently kills Julia. Kirsty then baits Frank into admitting his true name out loud. The Cenobites appear, ensnare Frank and return him to their realm, telling Kirsty to leave. Downstairs, Kirsty sees Julia's disembodied head calling for help. The leader of the Cenobites, a being called the Engineer, then appears and seems to take away Julia as well before briefly bumping into Kirsty. After leaving the house, Kirsty realizes the Engineer gave her the puzzle box to watch over until another seeks it out.

Basye, Dale E.: Blimpo

"After his second escape from Bea "Elsa" Bubb, the Principal of Darkness, Milton Fauster makes his way to Blimpo—the circle of the otherworldly reform school, Heck, where he's sure his friend Virgil is sentenced. Virgil's only crime is being, well, plump . Milton has to wonder if that's really enough to justify eternal darnation. And what Milton finds in Blimpo horrifies him. The overweight dead kids spend most of their time running on giant human hamster wheels called DREADmills that detect and exploit their deepest fears. The rest they spend eating Hambone Hank's barbecue—mystery meat that is delicious, but suspiciously (to Milton, anyway) haunting . Every classroom has a huge TV screen showing happy thin people who taunt Blimpo residents with a perfection they will never attain. Meanwhile, at her new job in the devil's Infernship program, Milton's sister, Marlo, knows all about trying to achieve perfection. And failing miserably. Can Milton get himself and Virgil out of Blimpo in time to rescue Marlo, too? Or is Fauster the next delicacy on Bea "Elsa" Bubb's menu?"

Bazterrica, Agustina: Cadáver exquisito (Tender is the flesh)

Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans —though no one calls them that anymore.

His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.

Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.

***

The virus makes animal flesh unsafe to eat. Society converts to farming humans for meat. The book describes functioning slaughterhouse, often exaggerating the violence that goes on within. Where does the border between animals and human lie? What does it means to be reduced to meat? How would a human behave if they were treated like cattle?

Boote, Justin: Carnivore

Detective Inspector Jim Morfield is worried. In the quiet, countryside village of Fritton, human remains have begun appearing. Bodies so viciously mutilated that only their bones are left behind, in some cases less than a few hours after they were reported missing. What creature could possibly devour human remains so quickly? Surely, as with the case of farmer Stanley Walters, it couldn’t be his cows nearby and covered in blood that dismembered and devoured him? Then, when another person is attacked by a horse, his arm nearly torn off, he has no choice but to consider the impossible.

The problem is that there is another killer to contend with. One who has Fritton terrified. A serial killer hiding among the woods and fields, unseen, unchallenged. Now Jim has to decide if the bodies accumulating in the area are the works of a human or something as harmless as the local wildlife.

Bradbury, Ray: Skeleton

The story of a hypochondriac who becomes utterly terrified of the alien form of his own bones, and sets out to have them... treated. The character of M. Munigant alone, and his terrible office, would have made for an excellent Flesh avatar.

Brown, Daniel James: The Indifferent Stars Above

In April of 1846, twenty-one-year-old Sarah Graves, intent on a better future, set out west from Illinois with her new husband, her parents, and eight siblings. Seven months later, after joining a party of emigrants led by George Donner, they reached the Sierra Nevada Mountains as the first heavy snows of the season closed the pass ahead of them. In early December, starving and desperate, Sarah and fourteen others set out for California on snowshoes and, over the next thirty-two days, endured almost unfathomable hardships and horrors.

In this gripping narrative, Daniel James Brown sheds new light on one of the most infamous events in American history. Following every painful footstep of Sarah's journey with the Donner Party, Brown produces a tale both spellbinding and richly informative.

Bonus: This is a nonfiction account of The Donner Party, probably one of the most famous occurrences of survival cannibalism in history.

Buller,  Jon and Susan Schade: Mike and the Magic Cookies

The protagonist and his family are turned into animals by the antagonist who is planning to eat them. Pretty Flesh i guess.

Calvert, Amy: You Are What You (M)Eat: Explorations of Meat-Eating, Masculinity and Masquerade

A fascinating essay on the concept of carnophallogocentrism (the connection between meat-eating and masculinity, as defined by Jacques Derrida) which discusses the gendered politics of consuming, preparing, and raising meat animals, viewed through the lens of the US reality television series Man V. Food. Calvert argues that the show represents the sexualization of both women and meat, and represents a cultural backlash against feminism as traditional concepts of masculinity are reasserted through the grotesque displays of meat consumption onscreen.

Carroll, Emily: Some Other Animal’s Meat

An excellent blend of the body image issues central to the Flesh and classic body horror.

“Aren't you tired of all those half empty bottles cluttering up the cupboard beneath your bathroom sink? Why not choose something that actually WORKS for once? Alo-Glo is all natural rejuvenating healing”

“But I wonder... What if inside. it's somehow the wrong stuff? What if my meat is some other animal's meat and the human part of me is just the skin like the smooth layer of dough you drape over an uncooked pie”

Clarke, Arthur C.: Food of the Gods

In this imagined future, we have stopped killing animals for meat and started to grow tissue in vats instead (to help support our even-more-massive population). People actually retch at the thought of eating animal flesh, although the vast majority of the various manufactured foods replicate the characteristics of various meats exactly. Several companies manufacture the stuff and get into a competition about who can make the best. Eventually, one company makes one that apparently tastes delicious and is perfectly tailored to human needs, calling it "Ambrosia Plus". The competition goes before a Senate subcommittee to explain why this might be a problem:

"Yes, Triplanitary's chemists have done a superb technical job. Now you have to resolve the moral and philosophical issues. When I began my evidence, I used the archaic word 'carnivore'. Now I must introduce you to another: I'll spell it out the first time: C-A-N-N-I-B-A-L ..."

Cook, Robin: Coma

Susan Wheeler is a medical student working at the Boston Memorial Hospital. Young, healthy patients are coming in for routine operations and leaving in permanent comas. Susan investigates, eventually unearthing an Organ Theft conspiracy. Apparently, they started using hospital patients who were already comatose, but demand (and profits) is such that they start artificially inducing brain death in healthy patients undergoing surgery to get more victims.

Dahl, Roald: Pig

Once upon a time, a boy named Lexington is born in New York City. Unfortunately he is soon orphaned when his parents are accidentally shot by the police, who mistake them for robbers. Lexington is sent to live with his Aunt Glosspan out in her cottage high in the Blue Ridge Mountains. She is an eccentric old woman who schools him herself and raises him to be a strict vegetarian. As he grows older, Lexington starts to exhibit a talent for cooking and Aunt Glosspan encourages him to write a cookbook. By the time he is 17, he has invented over 9,000 different dishes. He is shocked when Aunt Glosspan suddenly dies, though, and he buries her himself behind the cowshed. The next day he finds a letter she has left him instructing him to go to New York and meet with her lawyer. Apparently the lawyer will read her Will and then give Lexington money to pursue his cooking ambitions. Unfortunately for the boy, the lawyer is an unscrupulous man who takes advantage of Lexington’s trusting nature and ends up giving him just $15,000 out of the $500,000 his Aunt left for him. Upon leaving the office, Lexington decides he is hungry and heads to the nearest restaurant for some dinner. To his surprise, he is served pork for the first time in his life and he finds it delicious. Eager to learn about this new food for his book, he bribes the waiter to take him back into the kitchen to meet the chef. The chef tells him though, that he can’t be sure it was pig’s meat. “There’s just a chance,” he says, “that it might have been a piece of human stuff.” He tells Lexington that they’ve been getting an awful lot of it from the butcher lately. He’s pretty sure that the piece Lexington had was pork though, so the boy asks him to show him how to prepare it. The cook says that it all begins with a properly butchered pig. Wanting to see how this is done, Lexington takes off for the packing-house in the Bronx. When he gets there he is ushered into a waiting room to await the Guided Tour. He watches as others go through the doors before him: a mother with two little boys, a young couple, and a pale woman with long white gloves. Finally his turn is called, and he is led to the “schackling area” where the pigs are grabbed, looped about the ankle with a chain, and then dragged up through a hole in the roof. While he is watching, one of the workers slips a chain around Lexington’s ankle and before he knows what is happening he is being dragged along the path as well. “Help!” he cries. “There’s been a frightful mistake!” But no one stops the engine, and he’s carried along to the sticker, who slices open the boy’s jugular vein with a knife. As the belt moves on and Lexington begins to feel faint, he sees the pigs ahead being dropped into a large cauldron of boiling water. One of the pigs seems to be wearing white gloves. Lexington’s strong heart pumps out the last of his blood, and he passes on “out of this, the best of all possible worlds, into the next.”

***

A short story about a cookbook writer, Lexington, who was raised by a strictly vegetarian aunt. After her aunt's death, he seeks to expand his culinary horizons, first by tasting pork for the first time and then going to a factory tour to see how meat is processed. Unfortunately for him, the slaughterhouse he goes to appears to specialize on processing meat of the "long pig" kind...

Ellin, Stanley: The Specialty of the House

https://scrapsfromtheloft.com/books/stanley-ellin-the-specialty-of-the-house/

A macabre little tale about an unusual restaurant in Manhattan and its lonely patrons.

Enriquez, Mariana: Carne (Meat)

From the book Los peligros de fumar en la cama (The dangers of smoking in bed).

After the suicide of a controversial culty musician who sang about how we're all meat, a couple of teenagers dug up his rotting body and began to consume it until they were detained by police. This leads to a huge debate in the city as to wether these girls were insane groupies or if they "understood his message perfectly".

Fink, Joseph: It Devours!

From the authors of the New York Times bestselling novel Welcome to Night Vale and the creators of the #1 international podcast of the same name, comes a mystery exploring the intersections of faith and science, the growing relationship between two young people who want desperately to trust each other, and the terrifying, toothy power of the Smiling God.

Nilanjana and Darryl must search for common ground between their very different world views as they are faced with the Congregation’s darkest and most terrible secret.

Gaiman, Neil: Babycakes from Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions

In this story, all the animals disappeared and people resorted to using babies as a substitute. Eating them. wearing clothes made with their skin and testing various things of them. A remarkably macabre Flesh vision of the world. Also, written as a benefit for PETA which, I think, should give it bonus points in the flesh category.

Graves, Damian: An Apple A Day

Tim Barnett decides to get revenge on his cruel neighbor, Bill Cole, by vandalizing his apple orchard. He steals and eats one of the man's apples as a souvenir, prompting a slow, painful transformation into an apple tree.

Guanzhong, Luo: Excerpt from Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Untitled, fictitious story in the larger work, meant to demonstrate Liu Bei's incredible character. He stops at the home of Liu An (a hunter, and one of his relatives). Liu An doesn't have enough meat to feed his lord and his retinue, to he kills, butchers, cooks and serves his own wife so that Liu Bei and company wouldn't be under-served. When Liu Bei finds out this he is shocked, but not outraged, at having been unknowingly fed human flesh. He is, instead, amazed at Liu An's devotion to hospitality (to the point of feeding his lord his own wife), and instead praises him as a model citizen. And this is a story the author inserted to make Liu Bei sound more virtuous and heroic than he was in actual history!

Harris, Thomas: Hannibal

Lecter's backstory. As horrible as you would imagine.

Harris, Thomas: Silence of the Lambs

Not only is this book about a guy who kidnaps, captures, and kills women and peels off their skin to make himself beautiful, there’s an unrelated cannibal (Dr Hannibal Lecter) just hanging out in jail. The title derives from Clarise’s experience growing up on a farm and hearing “the silence of the lambs” after they’ve been screaming before being slaughtered.

Ito, Junji: Glyceride

The story revolves around a father and his daughter and son, who run a barbecue joint, which results in grease rising from the bottom floor to their living space, making everything in their house- their clothes, the walls, the furniture - covered in a film of grease. There's a constant motif of the horrors of the flesh at their grossest: The constant bullying the daughter Yui endures from her brother Goro, her stress and disgust at what she calls the "saturation level" of grease in the air, the horrible acne Goro develops and his strange addiction to drinking cooking oil, and the unnatural, greasy body odor their father has. All of this is later put on disgusting constract against their father's job at the barbecue, and how his customers think the meat he serves is delicious...

All of this escalates until Goro tries to kill Yui. However, their father saves Yui by bashing Goro over the head with a frying pan, killing him; he subsequently gets rid of the body by serving his flesh to the customers in his restaurant. The restaurant enjoys a revival in popularity due to Goro being served to the patrons but, when the meat runs out, the customers stop coming back. Yui begins to develop acne and a bad temper, just like Goro. She wakes up one night to find her father forcing oil down her throat just as Goro used to drink it. From then on, Yui can't sleep due to her father's constant efforts to break into her room and give her oil.

With no more meat left, Yui's father is forced to close the restaurant. He begins drinking the oil himself. His skin and hair become even greasier, and the saturation level continues to rise. The entire house is now full to the brim with grease, and grease drips constantly from the ceiling the saturation level is 90%. Eventually, Yui catches a glimpse of her father cutting off his own leg to serve in the restaurant since Goro's been eaten and she refuses to drink the oil; she observes that her father's leg is not leaking blood, only grease, as she realizes the saturation level is now at 100%.

Ito, Junji: Tomie

Not only has body horror and cannibalism, but is also a commentary on beauty standards and objectification of women.

Katsu, Alma: The Hunger

Tamsen Donner must be a witch. That is the only way to explain the series of misfortunes that have plagued the wagon train known as the Donner Party. Depleted rations, bitter quarrels, and the mysterious death of a little boy have driven the pioneers to the brink of madness. They cannot escape the feeling that someone--or something--is stalking them. Whether it was a curse from the beautiful Tamsen, the choice to follow a disastrous experimental route West, or just plain bad luck--the 90 men, women, and children of the Donner Party are at the brink of one of the deadliest and most disastrous western adventures in American history.

While the ill-fated group struggles to survive in the treacherous mountain conditions--searing heat that turns the sand into bubbling stew; snows that freeze the oxen where they stand--evil begins to grow around them, and within them. As members of the party begin to disappear, they must ask themselves "What if there is something waiting in the mountains? Something disturbing and diseased...and very hungry?"

KFC: Tender Wings of Desire

It's a romance novel by KFC. What more do you really need to know?

King, Stephen: Survivor Type

One of the few short stories that even King thinks he went a little too far on.

From Wikipedia: "Survivor Type is written as the diary of a disgraced surgeon, Richard Pine nee Pinzetti, who, while attempting to smuggle a large amount of heroin aboard a cruise ship, is forced to escape when an explosion causes the ship to sink. He relates growing up poor in an Italian-American neighborhood and playing college football (which he hated) to get into a good college and then went on to medical school and in time a successful practice until his illegal distribution of prescription medicines and blank forms led to the loss of his license. He arranged to smuggle heroin from Vietnam to make a large amount of money, which would then be distributed for bribes that would enable him to return to practicing medicine. While encountering a storm in his empty lifeboat, Pine finds himself marooned on a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean whose exact location is completely unknown to him, with very limited supplies and no food. A self-proclaimed "survivor" type, Pine bitterly whiles away the time by using a logbook as his diary, detailing his rise and fall in the medical profession and his determination to survive this ordeal, get even with the people that "screwed him over," and return to prosperity.

Over time, the diary entries become more and more disjointed and raving, revealing Pine's slow mental decay and eventual insanity caused by starvation, isolation and drug use. Determined to hold out for rescue, he goes to horrifying lengths to survive. He eats insects, kelp and seagulls. After fracturing his ankle while attempting to signal an airplane, he amputates his own foot, then realizes he has to eat it to survive. He continues to amputate his own limbs to use as a food source, ingesting the heroin as a crude anesthetic during these operations. His last few diary entries, barely comprehensible, indicate that Pine has sliced off and eaten both legs, as well as his earlobes, and drools uncontrollably as he ponders which body part to consume next. The diary entries end when he cuts off his left hand to eat it and writes "lady fingers they taste just like lady fingers." "

King, Stephen: Thinner

Billy Halleck is a successful, arrogant lawyer known for his chronic obesity and sleazy manner. While driving across town he is distracted by his wife Heidi and runs over an elderly Romani woman, killing her. The woman's father, Taduz Lemke, curses Billy outside the courthouse, and Billy begins to lose weight rapidly regardless of how much he eats. Later, Billy discovers that the judge who cleared him of manslaughter charges has been disfigured by hideous scales growing on his skin, while the policeman who committed perjury on Billy's behalf is now stricken with uncontrollable acne. Both men eventually commit suicide out of shame for their malformed appearances.

(The judge is literally slowly turning into like, a literal alligator man, in horrifying detail per Stephen King. The policeman's "acne" is his entire skin basically turning into one giant pimple and sloughing off. It's very Flesh and VERY horrifying)

A now-emaciated, nearly skeletal Billy tracks the Romani band north along the seacoast of New England to Maine. He confronts Lemke at their camp and tries to persuade him to lift the curse but Lemke refuses.

Billy calls for help from his mob boss friend who threatens the Romani with violence until Lemke agrees to meet with Billy, who is now at risk of death from heart arrhythmia because of his emaciation. Lemke brings a strawberry pie with him and adds blood from Billy's wounded hand to it. He explains that the curse can't be taken back, so Billy must pass it to someone else by getting them to eat the pie. (The pie starts pulsing like it has a heartbeat by the way.)

Billy returns home intending to feed the pie to Heidi as he blames her for his predicament. He falls asleep, and when he wakes, he is horrified to find that both Heidi and his beloved daughter Linda are now cursed. Without hesitation, he eats the rest of the pie. And then the book just fucking ENDS, leaving you the reader to speculate on how the curse manifests to finish them off.

Lee, Tanith: The Beast

A "Beauty and the Beast" retelling that inverts a lot of the fairytale's traditional tropes: instead of Vessavion starting the story as an ugly Beast who becomes handsome at the end when the Beauty returns to him and recognizes his inner beauty, he starts the story as a handsome and seemingly perfect man who becomes an ugly Beast (and dead) at the end when his wife Isobel leaves him after learning about his secret hobby of murdering ugly people and taking their incongruously beautiful body parts for his collection.

Levene, Rebecca: Too Rich for My Blood (in Seven Deadly Sins)

The stories in Short Trips: Seven Deadly Sins are based on the Christian concept of seven deadly sins. This story's theme is gluttony.

On a trip to Las Vegas, Chris Cwej watches a hot-dog eating contest go horribly wrong as a painfully skinny contender devours his entire plate... and then his competitors'... and then his competitors. He's been spiked with alien hormones that massively accelerate his metabolism, burning away his calories as he eats -- and it's infectious. Soon, the casino is overrun with a zombie plague as Chris tries to lead the survivors to safety and ensure that the infection doesn't make its way onto the streets. Meanwhile, the Doctor searches for a cure, and Benny has stumbled into a poker tournament where the prize is getting to live.

Miyazawa, Kenji: The Restaurant of Many Orders

From Wikipedia: "Two gentlemen in Western-style dress go hunting in the woods, accompanied by two dogs and a guide. After a day of hunting, they have failed to capture any game, they have become separated from their guide, and their dogs suddenly drop dead. As the two gentlemen lament their losses and trudge forward, they suddenly turn to find a large Western-style house with a sign reading, "Restaurant Wildcat House Western-Style Cooking". The hungry gentlemen, though unnerved, enter the restaurant to encounter a series of doors that open before and close behind them. Each door is preceded by a sign, the first few of which bear double-entendre messages of welcome. The gentlemen interpret these signs, apologizing for the restaurant's "many orders", as indicating the restaurant's popularity and quality. Later signs bear commands (the Japanese 注文 chūmon having the same two senses as the English "orders") instructing the men to undress and rub themselves with strange substances. All the while, growing hungrier and colder, the men speculate about the fine food and diners they expect to find in a restaurant so discerning.

Finally, the men realize they cannot go back and realize that they will be devoured by the proprietor of the house if they approach the last door. In a deus ex machina, their previously dead dogs return to fight the demons lying behind the final door and the house vanishes into mist. The gentlemen are rejoined by their guide, and they return to Tokyo forever traumatized by the experience."

Ojeda, Mónica: Mandíbula (Jawbone)

Meanwhile, their literature teacher Miss Clara, who is obsessed with imitating her dead mother, struggles to preserve her deteriorating sanity. Each day she edges nearer to a total break with reality.

Orwell, George: Animal Farm

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.

When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

***

"It tells the story of a group of anthropomorphic farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy. Ultimately, the rebellion is betrayed and, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon, the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before. "

A tale about animals trying to rebel against the slaughter and failing. What's more flesh than that? Also, it's a metaphor against totalitarian regimes and in those humans are often treated like cattle.

Ovid: Metamorphoses

A series of stories all about transformation, the flesh being reshaped in radical ways. Sometimes the changes are punishments, other times rewards, but all of them are carefully detailed and totally irrevocable. May have played a role in my own furry awakening.

Pinkwater, Daniel: Slaves of Spiegel

At the beginning of the story, a community of obese space pirates inhabit the planet Spiegel, but periodically raid other planets for fattening food. At a feast celebrating their raids, the pirates' supreme commander 'Sargon the Great' initiates a new expedition for the three greatest cooks in the galaxy; at the conclusion whereof, the three finalists and their assistants are brought to a grand festival on Spiegel, and ordered to satisfy all the pirates in a contest of their skills, of which the winner's prize is the lifelong position of chief cook to the pirates themselves. Among the finalists are Steve Nickleson (the protagonist of an earlier book) and his assistant Norman Bleistift, whereof Norman serves as first-person narrator of nearly one-half of the text. Ultimately, Steve and Norman win the second prize of 600 pounds of Spiegelian blue garlic and transport home, which Steve later uses to create a "bright blue" pizza. The first place winner is forced to cook for the pirates forever.

Piper, Hailey: Benny Rose, the Cannibal King

During the 50s, he ended up trapped with five kids in the basement of a hospital that caught fire and consumed them to stay alive, which caused him to become a supernatural entity of some kind. Now, every Halloween night, he strikes and feasts upon the trick-and-treaters who are filling the streets. To make him even more heinous, he eats his victims piecemeal, while they're still alive.

Pizarnik, Alejandra: La Condesa Sangrienta (The bloody countess)

The book is based on the real life story that inspired the figure of the vampire.

Sinclair, Upton: The Jungle

Sinclair wrote the novel to portray the lives of immigrants in the United States in Chicago and similar industrialized cities. Many readers were most concerned with his exposure of health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meatpacking industry during the early 20th century, based on an investigation he did for a socialist newspaper.

The book depicts working class poverty, the lack of social supports, harsh and unpleasant living and working conditions, and a hopelessness among many workers. These elements are contrasted with the deeply rooted corruption of people in power. A review by the writer Jack London called it, "the Uncle Tom's Cabin of wage slavery."

***

It examines the desperate lives of meatpacking workers in Packingtown, Illinois, an area of southwest Chicago marked by its abundance of stockyards, slaughterhouses, factories, and cramped tenements, in the early 20th century.

Sinclair's primary purpose in describing the meat industry and its working conditions was to advance socialism in the United States. However, the novel's most notable impact at the time was to provoke public outcry over passages exposing health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meat-packing industry during the early 20th century, which led to sanitation reforms including the Meat Inspection Act.

***

The Jungle is the story of Jurgis Rudkus and his family, Lithuanian immigrants who come to America to work in the meatpacking plants of Chicago. Their story is a story of hardship. They face enormous difficulties: harsh and dangerous working conditions, poverty and starvation, unjust businessmen who take their money, and corrupt politicians who create laws that allow all of this to happen. The story follows the hardships of Jurgis and his family and the transformation that Jurgis undergoes when he accepts the new political and economic revolution of socialism. The novel's most notable impact at the time was to provoke public outcry over passages exposing health violations and unsanitary practices in the American meat-packing industry during the early 20th century, which led to sanitation reforms including the Meat Inspection Act.

"He lived like a dumb beast of burden, knowing only the moment in which he lived."

"They use everything about the hog except the squeal"

***

“They use everything about the hog except the squeal.”

The Jungle is probably the most famous muckraking novel in American history. Its unflinching description of meatpacking plants in Chicago brought public attention to the unsanitary, inhumane conditions of the industrialized meatpacking trade, eventually leading the U.S. to adopt the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act, which created what would eventually become the Food and Drug Administration. According to Wikipedia, the author Sinclair--who was an avowed socialist--told Cosmopolitan Magaizine: "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach."

If that's not enough to make you think of the Flesh, consider one of the book's most infamous passages:

"…and as for the other men, who worked in tank rooms full of steam, and in some of which there were open vats near the level of the floor, their peculiar trouble was that they fell into the vats; and when they were fished out, there was never enough of them left to be worth exhibiting—sometimes they would be overlooked for days, till all but the bones of them had gone out to the world as Durham’s Pure Leaf Lard!"

Visceral recognition of the fragile embodied state of human beings: Check

Cannibalism: Check

The Jungle is the perfect example of a Flesh text.

Smith, Clark Ashton: The Garden of Adompha

King Adompha and his equally vile court magician Dwerulas rule Sotar, which is known for Adompha's royal garden, hidden from the eyes of all but himself and Dwerulas. In truth, Adompha and Dwerulas capture or execute anyone disfavored by them in Sotar in order to butcher them and have Dwerulas fuse their remains to the plants of the garden, creating half-human, half-vegetable hybrids suspended in a strange state between life and death. Adompha orders a servant girl murdered purely for her hands, ordering the rest of her body fed to the plant her hands will grow upon, and furthermore murders Dwerulas on nothing more than an impulse. Dwerulas manages to curse Adompha in retaliation, resulting in Adompha's garden turning upon him and raking him to pieces.

Smith, Cordwainer: A Planet Named Shayol

The protagonist, Mercer, who lives within the Empire, has been convicted of "a crime that has no name". He is condemned by the Empire to the planet Shayol, where he lives in a penal colony whose inhabitants must undergo grotesque physical mutations caused by tiny symbiotes called dromozoans. Most grow extra organs, which the Empire harvests for medical purposes. The bull-man B'dikkat administers the prisoners a drug called super-condamine that alleviates the pain of their punishment and various surgeries.

More than a century passes. Mercer has found a lover, named Lady Da. B'dikkat shows the couple a sight that horrifies him: children have been sent to Shayol -- alive, though with their brains removed. Lady Da knows how to contact the Lords of the Instrumentality so that they can intervene. When the Lords arrive on Shayol, they are shocked by what they find. Moreover, the children there are heirs to the throne. Apparently, the Imperium has become so bureaucratic and corrupt that it condemned them to prevent them from committing treason when they matured.

The Instrumentality voids permission to allow the Empire to exist and to maintain Shayol. They will free the prisoners who are still sentient and provide a cure for their suffering with a substitute for the super-condamine, namely an electronic "cap" which stimulates the brain's pleasure center. The mindless prisoners will be decapitated, their heads "taken away and killed as pleasantly as we can manage, probably by an overdosage of super-condamine", leaving the bodies to be used by the dromozoa. Ultimately, Lady Da claims Mercer as her consort.

Summers, Chelsea G.: A Certain Hunger

Food critic Dorothy Daniels loves what she does. Discerning, meticulous, and very, very smart, Dorothy's clear mastery of the culinary arts make it likely that she could, on any given night, whip up a more inspired dish than any one of the chefs she writes about.

But there is something within Dorothy that's different from everyone else, and having suppressed it long enough, she starts to embrace what makes Dorothy uniquely, terrifyingly herself. Recounting her life from a seemingly idyllic farm-to-table childhood, the heights of her career, to the moment she plunges an ice pick into a man's neck on Fire Island, Dorothy Daniels show us what happens when a woman finally embraces her superiority.

Yoshitomi, Akihito: School Ningyo (School Mermaid)

"Description from TvTropes: A horror manga / anthology series by Akihito Yoshitomi about Japanese school girls who really want boyfriends. But rather than going through the trouble of getting the attention of a boy, talking to them and just being themselves, they decide on a much quicker way to do so… By hunting mermaids in their school and eating their flesh."

Already submitted this for a hunt bracket but it works as a Flesh Leitner even better.

Spoilers: All the mermaids used to be people. They were turned into those mindless creatures meant to be eaten. If you don't eat the flesh of a mermaid during the hunt you turn into one so you have to consume flesh to avoid becoming it.

LEC RETROSPECTIVE: ASTRALIS

Man, this one's just sad.

So Astralis have had a very unfortunate history in LEC so far. Rebranding Origen, which wasn't the most successful after 2016, qualifying to worlds in 2015 and making it to semifinals with that early Niels/Mithy botlane, before losing it to G2 and floundering around the bottom of the table until being demoted in 2017, and then being accepted as a partner org for LEC franchising.

After 2019's "superteam" lost in spring finals to the G2 actual Superteam, 2020's "superteam" (also featuring Upset, natch) performed basically ok then went 10th in summer, and rebranded to Astralis heading into 2021. Signing an all new roster going into 2021, they floundered around the bottom of the table, going 9th, tied 7th, then 9th and 10th in 2022. But the rosters always had flashes of brilliance with endearing players like Zanzarah, WhiteKnight who had arguably a top 3 lee sin in the world during that cursed Lane Sin period, and Kobbe who was a reliable rock looking for a team to finally step out of the shadow of his prior glories on Misfits and Splyce and his 2020 on TSM which was a disaaaaster. Well going into 2023, Astralis actually kept a surprisingly consistent core of Dajor in Mid, Kobbe in Bot, and Korean support Jeonghoon, previously known as Execute, who made a strong impression early in 2022 on Pyke and Bard, despite being on bottom CL rosters beforehand. In addition, they retained the same coaching staff, which while not the top tier of LEC coaches, you could do a WHOLE lot worse. The new additions were Finn in top lane, who had a... odd history prior to this. Debuting in 2019 Summer as a sub for Rogue, who had a fairly weak roster at that point, before making Worlds with a similar roster in 2020, and utterly flopping as the EU 3rd seed, moving to NA and joining CLG during their worst years ever, then coming back to EU and joining Excel during their most successful year, and missing out on worlds by getting reverse swept by a Fnatic who had a fair amount of promise. And in the Jungle, 113. I think most people would say he's probably one of the worse jungle prospects in the ERLs, and he certainly didn't impress while on KCorp, often dragging his team down. But, with a good coach and team around him, he could maybe impress. Early on, not many hopes were had for Astralis, who were often placed bottom 2 or 3 alongside SK in tier lists and power rankings, due to the slightly underwhelming pickups of 113 and Finn, Dajor's mostly amateurish gameplay and Kobbe and Jeonghoon probably being elo helled again due to this topside.

But against all odds, Astralis managed to not completely shit the bed in Winter! Overall they went 3-6 in winter, which did qualify them for Groups, barely. Losses to a new G2 and Yike on a carry jungler, vs Heretics with a brave ass Fiora pick, Vitality who actually did well in Winter overall, and BDS left them very unoptimistic going into week 3, but grabbing a win over Excel meant they were at least guaranteed a chance for top 8, with an incredibly dominant Lucian/Nami, and on Week 3, a clutch Gangplank from Finn snatched victory from the jaws of defeat dropping absolute gorgeous barrels that completely annihilated an MVP level Exakick on Lucian, and then the game that would decide if Astralis could make it to groups, vs a slumped Fnatic that would end up missing playoffs for the first time in their history. Astralis, against almost all odds made it to groups. You could argue it was off the back of Excel looking completely lifeless and horrendous, and Fnatic having a ridiculously poor season in a meta that hated them, but nonetheless, Astralis overcame them and a rising SK to make it to groups. Let's Goooo!!!! And in groups they shit it goddamn it. A 2-1 loss to MAD Lions, who ended up being Astralis' bane this season, with a genuinely unique and surprisingly strong Cassio/Twitch botlane (it lost anyways), and a monster performance from Dajor and the Botlane in Game 2, followed by getting a win over BDS who hadn't come into their winning ways just yet, anchored by a Kled from Finn, his previous one-trick, and a really damn good Varus from Kobbe, carrying them through to one last try at Playoffs. Who's their opponent MAD fucking lions goddamn it all.

A quick 2-0 from MAD, focusing a Dajor who floundered all series, and a fairly disastrous performance from 113, despite Kobbe's best effort on Lucian left Astralis in a maybe not respectable, but certainly surprising 5th place. They scrapped and fought their way up and punched up for most of their victories, demonstrating a style that maybe wasn't unlike some Asian teams, with a toplaner transitioned around the map to generate pressure, a roaming mid-jungle and a strongside botlane who made sure they were the stars. But most of all, they showed 0 fear on engaging and taking every little fight they could, to generate any kind of advantage. That made Astralis genuinely exciting to watch, but there was an obvious weak link on the roster, and that was Mid lane. Going into Spring, Dajor was out, and the rumoured Mid was none other than LIDER, a player who was often considered a dark horse for most inflexible player ever. The narrative was always that the man would and could only ever play assassins, an unusual thing in high level play, as most midlaners since 2016ish stuck to control mages, with occasional assasin picks or poke mages as niche counterpicks. But honestly? That was never true. LIDER did play mages as and when needed, the man just preferred assassins in the game, and he was still capable of your Ryzes, (with the meta changes) your Annies, your Aurelion Sols, even an Azir from time to time. Yes, assassins were his specialty, and mostly what he played, but the narrative that his assassins were his only successful picks? Just untrue. Spring began with a rough first week. FOR ASTRALIS' OPPONENTS, THAT IS. Taking games over KOI, who made playoffs last season, and the Champions G2, with a LIDER Irelia, and dropping a game to SK, with a... unique botlane of Veigar/Pyke that did NOT pay off. Week 2 went rougher, losing to MAD (i told you) and BDS, who came in with a clear gameplan and a perfect plan on how to execute every comp, and then taking a game off of Vitality thanks to a strong LIDER Asol, and a fairly bad game from Bo on the inverse. Week 3 began with a new look again, as LIDER got his Zed, and used it to utterly dominate midlane and carry Astralis through, basically securing playoffs for the team. A win over Excel, thanks to a LIDER Irelia, and a win over Fnatic with another LIDER Zed, a JeongHoon Blitzcrank secured Astralis their first 3-0 week, and a shot at the top couple spots of the season, placing 2nd overall. A damn good finish, if i've ever seen one. LIDER brought so much to the team, and they looked incredibly strong going into the next round. Some things hadn't changed, like 113's ability to be exploited, but overall this roster look shockingly strong, and their playstyle had been solidified, and bright eyes looked forward to groups. We begin the group stage against the one and only Fnatic, a genuinely shockingly close series for what should've been 2nd place vs 8th place, but an odd choice with Illaoi from Finn lost game 2, alongside a misguided Zed pick from LIDER, and a game 3 that hinged on the success of another LIDER Irelia, which managed to finally pull out the win after a half hour slugfest. Astralis, to be frank, were bleeding. They didn't look anywhere as scrappy or exciting as in the regular season, and their next series vs Vitality, to qualify for playoffs, well... Remember yesterday when I said this series was the one that showed the Bo That Was Promised, an insane mechanical hypercarry player who could demolish a team and turn them into a chinese tiktok montage? Yeah, Astralis was on the recieving end of that. 113 and LIDER got absolutely FARMED by a wukong, followed by a Lee Sin, and that was a deathblow for Astralis' mental it felt like. They had beat Vitality already once, like, what was this? Their next series, since they had already won the one vs Fnatic, was vs... MAD FUCKING LIONS. I told you they were their kryptonite this season.

And despite a Cassio and Talon (?) from LIDER, 113 got hard exposed and dominated by the mid jungle of MAD, ending their season, once again, early. This was a sad moment. Astralis had finally begun to reach the heights of the roster that was promised to them, but other teams started reaching their heights much faster than they did, and simply outclassed them. Over the break for MSI, Astralis was one of few roster to make no changes. They had a winning formula, the 2nd place in spring proved that, and the formula and strategy was locked down, scrap everywhere, fight everything, get lane dominant picks and move Finn around to every sidelane to make sure you couldn't do anything without worrying about where he was.

Well... Summer came. And this is where their story goes from hopeful rise of a plucky young adventurer, to a tragedy that ends with the adventurer getting beheaded by the mighty warlord at the end. Summer didn't go well. At all. Week 1 began with a game vs Fnatic, the team that they beat in Spring Groups, however now sporting a fashionable new Botlane of Noah and Trymbi, who proceeded to utterly shitstomp them. A game vs Heretics with a shiny new Vetheo and Flakked, who proceeded to utterly dismantle a LIDER Neeko, but ending the week on a positive note with one of the absolute worst earlygames i've ever had the pleasure of watching in pro league of legends, vs BDS. Nuc simply walks into LIDER for about 10 seconds letting him fully stack Lethal Tempo and nearly 1v2 Adam and Nuc. Please watch it, it's so absolutely pathetic and tragic for how the rest of the game now goes. Finn also helps by RPing Peak Shanji (the OMG toplaner known for his AP tops like Rumble) in the toplane vs Adam, and you know what. It's not the worst. It was a fun fucking game, but the fact that Astralis only won because BDS managed to completely annihilate their ENTIRE early game by doing that wasn't a good sign. Week 2 came by, Astralis were sitting tied with 5 other teams at 1-2, so not that well off, but they could be much worse. Right now they could be Excel still sitting at 0-3! First game, vs MAD lions oh for fuck sake why did they give Nisqy Gragas. That's like rule number 1 vs MAD since winter playoffs, don't give Nisqy Gragas. Well that's lost. Game 2, Vitality well this should be better, vitality look lost and helpless in almost every game now! And Astralis do it! Another Yasuo, with a Gragas for Finn in top handily sweeps the floundering Vitality, and Game 3 of the week pits them vs G2 aaaand yeah it goes about as well as you might think. The game's an absolute snoozer with 10 kills in almost 30 minutes, but demonstrates something amazing about G2 and something really bad about Astralis. Unless they're running the pace of the game, Astralis generally flounder. And G2 are professionals at running the game at the exact pace they desire. Week 3 comes by, and Astralis are a bit worse off. Now they're only tied with 3 other teams, and they could still make it to groups, but few people have high hopes for them. Some of the people they're tied against, they face this week, and BDS they've already beaten. This should be easy, right? Well they beat SK, thanks almost exclusively to a LIDER Azir, giving them one step up on the competition for 8th, now all they need is:

Beat KOI

SK Lose another game

Well, next game vs an Excel who got their first 3-0 week and look decently strong, they lose. No biggie. Would've been nice to win, but all they need now is SK lose (they didn't, they beat MAD) and to beat KOI. That KOI game was an absolute shitshow. Comp pulls out an off-meta Sivir and reminds the world why Sivir was the menace it was just after the rework, with a disasterclass from JeongHoon on Nautilus. Well, their season isn't over just yet! If SK lose to Fnatic, the First place team with a dominant insane botlane, an MVP jungler and one of the strongest toplaners right now, then Astralis qualify! Well they get a tiebreaker. But they've beaten SK before, it's doable again! That SK-Fnatic game was a nailbiter start to finish. From a surprisingly Humanoid Xerath, one of the most terrifying 4/4 Jaxes i've ever seen, and a ridiculous carry performance from Mr Sertussy, it was an end to Astralis' season. 9th place. Where most predicted they'd end in Winter and Spring. Afterwards, it's announced that due to Championship points, it's impossible to Astralis to qualify for Season finals, meaning for Finn, 113, LIDER, Kobbe and JeongHoon, that's it. Their season is completely over. Unlike Vitality who finished last, they're done for now. Following this was some truly heartbreaking posts, especially from Finn, which I'll show here in its entirety:

Finn spent most of the year playing at a high level, being massively underrated on Astralis' roster, and even arguably on Excel, and to lose like this is really heartbreaking. As he says, At the end of the day 2 teams have to miss out, this summer split it just ended up being us. Astralis' future is unknown. Even before the split, rumours were abound that the org was planning on collaborating with KCorp and making the LEC spot a joint-ownership between Astralis and KCorp, but that deal fell through. Most of these players deserve more shots, but most teams won't be shopping around for new players in the offseason until worlds in October/November. I do hope the best comes for this team and these players. APPENDED: I finished this post at around 3:30PM on Friday, and a report has just come out about an hour ago from blix.gg (read here on this link) that Astralis are considering selling their spot again, and negotiations got pretty far with Saudi Org, Falcons, who operate a french CSGO (now CS2 i guess) starring KennyS. Riot apparently blocked the sale, not wanting a Saudi investment firm to get in. Blix also says that some ERL teams are competing for the spot, and if it does end like this, man that's sad. Yeah Astralis weren't the best team but they had heart and their players were likeable as fuck, with genuinely cool plays and players across their history, even in the most dire days of their history.

The bad batch as League of Legends players: a self indulgent headcanon

Wrecker would play top lane. You can't tell me that my man who is a literal tank would not also wanna play tanky top laners. Like he would see Garen or Sett and just be like "yup this is my role"

Tech would play Jungle. Its the most technical role, you have to know info about matchups, smite cooldowns, pathing, what lanes to gank when and he would have all of that in that big ol' brain of his. Lee Sin, Elise, Nidalee, any of the transforming champs where you have to basically learn two whole kits.

Hunter would play mid. Midlaners are often times the shot caller of the team with the most versatility for roaming and helping out other team mates. Galio, Orianna, anything that has good roaming pressure or is good in team fights

Crosshair would play ADC. Like the role is literally called Marksman I dont need to say more. Cringe Vayne main, dabbles in a bit of Caitlyn and Kai'sa

Echo would play support. Man is all about helping his brothers out, applying pressure on the enemy, vision control i can just see him maining a wide array of supports so he can pull out whatever the team needs. Braum, Rakan, Thresh, something where he is in charge of starting (and ending) team fights.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

Syndromes and a Century is the kind of film that is apt to have some people say, "It's like watching paint dry." And that's what makes it so fascinating. During the long stretches in which the viewer has nothing to do but watch an odd dark oval, the aperture of some kind of device that seems to be vacuuming up smoke from a room full of mysterious medical equipment, we're left with nothing to do but meditate on how that oval suggests a black hole, or how it echoes a solar eclipse earlier in the film, or how medical technology seems alien, or to wonder nervously whether the hospital in which the scene takes place is on fire. Things happen in Apichatpong Weerasethakul's film; sometimes they even happen twice, a kind of reincarnation of earlier events -- Weerasethakul is fascinated by the belief in past lives. But the events are there for us to assemble in our imaginations: The film isn't going to that work for us. A doctor has a somewhat oddball interview with a job applicant, who later reveals that he's madly in love with her, whereupon she tells him of her inconclusive relationship with a man who collects orchids. A dentist works on a patient, a Buddhist monk in saffron robes, and begins singing to him. Later, the two meet in a scene in which the dentist speculates on whether the monk might be the reincarnation of the brother for whose accidental death he blames himself. It's also clear that the dentist has something of a crush on the monk. A young doctor's girlfriend wants him to move with her to a burgeoning new city, and shows him pictures of the industrial construction there as if it were some kind of enticement. They start to make out and he gets an erection. An older doctor, a hematologist, tries to treat a younger doctor's patient, who has suffered from carbon monoxide inhalation, by healing his chakras. When it doesn't work, the young doctor tells her he had already tried that. And so on, through various incidents that somehow echo one another but stubbornly refuse to be assimilated into a conventional narrative. Unlike Weerasethakul's other films, Syndromes and a Century takes place in a scientific culture at which untamed nature only laps furtively around the edges. The settings are modern hospitals, not plantations or jungles, and there are no ghosts or forest monsters on hand. But for all that, the world remains as haunted and mysterious as the worlds seen in Tropical Malady (2004) and Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010). Weerasethakul has been compared to Michelangelo Antonioni in his technique of introducing situations and settings that never quite resolve themselves into completed stories, but where Antonioni was filled with angst by the world's intractable conflicts, Weerasethakul seems content to enjoy the mystery without worrying about its implications.

JUNIO 12, 2024. IT"S A JUNGLE OUT THERE.

Seis de la mañana suena mi despertador. Salgo inmediatamente de la cama. A las siete en punto, estoy tomando el colectivo.

Llego a Congreso a las ocho y 10. Ingreso al aula a las ocho y media.

Termino mi clase a las nueve y cincuenta. Salgo y compro provisiones por la zona.

-En cualquier momento cortan todo- me dice, entre harto y resignado, el vendedor de la casa de golosinas en la que compré unos bombones.

Harta, como él, le deseo suerte y salgo del local.

Llego a Callao y Juan Domingo Perón, cargando cartera y bolsa con las compras, caminando entre gente que se mueve muy lentamente, como si estuvieran de paseo, llevando pañuelos verdes que dicen Provincia de Buenos Aires, banderas de La Cámpora, y algunos vistiendo camperas que en la espalda tienen impreso el nombre de algún puntero político que desconozco, y por eso no recuerdo. Debajo del nombre olvidado, se lee "Conducción".

Con el peso de mis compras a cuestas y el hartazgo de no poder avanzar entre gente lenta y violenta, veo que, claramente, no podré tomar mi colectivo de regreso sobre Rivadavia.

Pienso: "¡Qué triste es vivir bajo la conducción de un puntero y estar orgulloso de eso!". Reflexiono: "¡Pañuelos de la Provincia de Buenos Aires! ¿¡En serio!? ¿A mí, que vivo ahí, me quieren militar lo bien que estamos en el conurbano?"

Enojada, vuelvo sobre mis pasos, ya sin paciencia y empujando a los paseantes militantes, y me tomo el 146 hasta Parque Centenario. Tengo que improvisar un regreso alternativo. Trasbordo al 105 frente al Instituto de Zoonosis Luis Pasteur.

Es pleno junio, estamos a una semana del Invierno, y la temperatura supera los 25 grados centígrados. Si Buenos Aires habitualmente es una ciudad húmeda, hoy supera las marcas. A la humedad se le suma una sensación asquerosa y pegajosa. Está nublado, pero no va a llover. Muy cansada e incómoda llego a casa a eso de la una del mediodía. Todo por causa de los que se oponen a que el Poder Legislativo apruebe la primera ley del gobierno de Javier Milei, a seis meses de haber sido electo casi por el 56 % de los votos.

Ya en casa, me ocupo de guardar las compras, me ocupo de atender a mi perra, como unas milanesas que tenía listas desde ayer, me ducho y me duermo una siesta.

A las dieciocho salgo otra vez para Congreso, después de ver por TV que en la zona a la que voy los paseantes que vi a la mañana quemaron dos autos, rompieron bancos de piedra, incendiaron bicicletas del Estado, y le rompieron la cabeza a un policía, mientras algunos legisladores peronistas y de izquierda dicen que es una manifestación pacífica. Como respuesta: gas pimienta y balas de goma. Muy, pero muy harta, soy consciente de que hace más de dos décadas que me muevo en una ciudad en guerra sin tener enfrentamientos bélicos abiertos con ningún Estado extranjero.

Tengo que ingresar a dar clases otra vez a las veinte, pero salí exageradamente temprano porque los legisladores, que cobran sueldos de 8 millones de pesos por ir al Congreso muy, muy, de vez en cuando, hoy están trabajando. Y las ovejas terroristas están intentando sabotearlos.

Como lo sospeché, en Plaza Miserere el chófer del 105 nos avisa que puede dejarnos ahí, porque a Congreso no puede llegar. Son las 19, me bajo y comienzo a caminar entre mis compañeros de viaje y los peatones que compran ropa en las calles de Once.

Mientras camino en este clima asqueroso observo a montones de nigerianos y senegales preparar mantas sobre Pueyrredón. Ponen la mercadería más variada a la venta en la vereda, y comprendo que hay un turno diurno y uno nocturno para la venta mantera.

Sin detenerme, me muevo con normalidad en una ciudad capital de un país que es un psiquiátrico a cielo abierto. A sólo unas cuadras se están tirando con piedras y balas, acá la gente compra ropa ilegal barata. Y todo sigue, como si nada pasara.

Cuando llego a Corrientes son las 19 y 20. El clima climático y el social se enrarece. Hay muy pocos peatones caminando, y es temprano. Muy pocos locales comerciales siguen abiertos, y pienso: "Va a ser mejor que de acá salga lo antes que pueda".

Llego a mi trabajo. Entro a mi aula a las 20. Mis alumnos ya sabían qué nota de final de cursada tenían, por lo que sospechaba que nadie iría. Pero me equivoqué. Tres valientes me esperaban: dos varones y una mujer.

Se salvaron dudas respecto al examen final, y uno de los varones se retiró, aclarando: '"Salgo antes, profe, porque se me va a complicar volver". Le doy mi bendición mientras pienso que yo, en el lugar de él, no hubiera venido.

Me quedo con los otros dos, charlando del examen final, de todo y de nada. A las 21 y 20 me fuí. Mi alumna me despide con un: "Mirá que la calle está caliente, profe, cuidate". La miro y recuerdo que ella se va a las 22 y 45 y vive en Ciudadela. "Cuidate vos también. Que llegues bien a casa, Luciana".

Ya en la calle, veo que en la esquina está frenando el 24. Sin dudarlo, corro y me subo. "Hasta Juan B. Justo", le pido al chófer. E inicio el regreso.

Cacerolazo y corte en Scalabrini Ortiz, pero podemos avanzar. Llegando a Juan B. Justo y San Martín, el colectivero nos avisa: "Me tengo que desviar, están cortando la avenida".

No puedo describir el nivel de ira silenciosa que me embarga. Me bajo obligada y camino entre gente que está caceroleando contra la Ley Bases porque no llueve y el termómetro marca 27 grados. Si lloviera, los conozco, estarían en casita mirando todo por TV.

El reloj marca las 22, y yo, extenuada, camino a los saltos hasta que reencuentro que el 105 retoma avenida San Martín. Llego al Metro Bus al mismo tiempo que mi colectivo.

A las 22 y 45 llegué a mi casa otra vez. Me esperaban unas ricas croquetas para la cena. Miro la tele mientras como, y pasadas las 23, la vicepresidenta Victoria Villarruel desempata la votación y en el Senado la Ley Bases es Ley.

Me llega un mensaje por WhatsApp. Una amiga que vive en Villa Crespo me cuenta que los que manifestaban en su barrio ahora se están peleando entre ellos.

Pienso: "Mañana van a dormir hasta tarde. Yo, en cambio, a las seis de la mañana vuelvo a empezar".

Y a pesar de todo esto, estoy convencida, miro el panorama internacional, y sé que Argentina es un excelente lugar para vivir. No se dejen engañar.

Team Ionia have five champions: Shen (top), Lee Sin (jungle), Akali (mid), Xayah (bot) and Rakan (support). They are very strong and famous. In fact, they are considered the best team in Runeterra.

"Team Ionia? How did you make them playing with us?" Teemo asked

"... Probably Shen and Akali want to see how strong my team is." Kennen answered.

"That's right. So we need to be prepared! Let's plan together!" Poppy said. Then she brought a white board to make a plan.

MASTERLIST

Miss Y/n, homeroom teacher of grade 4 bit her lip as she feared one of her colleagues would notice the hot blush burning her cheeks. It was so hard to focus on standing put and proper in her spot behind the row of chairs where her class was sitting in the auditorium when Sheriff Lee was looking straight at her like that. The girl bit her lip as she felt his gaze drive a shard of ice down her spine. 

He needed to look away. Now. It wouldn't take a genius to notice how the man was looking only at her with half a smile as he delivered his awareness speech about… about…

The teacher didn't know. 

She couldn't know when he refused to avert his gaze to the other people -students and teachers- who had the huge hall packed.

Gulping a bile down her throat, Y/n tried her best to ignore his sharp blue eyes that she could feel were watching her like a hawk. "Tommy…" Clearing her throat, she muttered a warning to one of the naughty ones of the class, gently tapping on the boy's shoulder once to get him to behave before she stood back up to her height. 

Her lip found its way back between the teeth they covered. Thighs that Lee loved to bite and suck at pressed themselves together. Nipples hardened due to the wave of shyness that washed over her spine and down to her knees. If only the people around the respected Sheriff and adored Miss Y/n (for her polite manners and good upbringing, of course) knew what the pair got up to when they were alone. 

A harsh breath pushed its way out of her chest. 

Oh dear. What would they think of her? 

So much for role models, both of them. 

Her eyes flickered up from the back of Tommy's head to Sheriff Lee's form on the stage only for all of the life inside her body to get a shock. Her heart rate sped up. Why was he looking at her like he'd read her mind? 

Images of all the vile things he'd introduced her to started playing before her eyes. But her body remained frozen in place as she watched him back with her doe-like eyes that he loved to stare at when he defiled her in all the sinful ways there could be.

. . .

"How many times have I asked you to not stare at me like that in front of people, Sheriff?" Y/n's tone was whiny and lips pouty as she leaned against Lee's chest, feeding him the brownies she had baked him after work before meeting him at their spot in the jungle that was a short walk away from her house. A cackle left her when the man almost bit one of her fingers playfully, the sound shocking and embarrassing her as she suppressed it in the palm of her hand, lowered eyes widened. "What if they find out?" Her next words were a whisper as she softly toyed with his badge. 

The reason for the lack of eye contact was her inability to hold his intimidating gaze for too long. 

"They won't if you just stop trying to become one with the tomatoes every time I am around" Lee teased, caressing her soft ass under her dress as his other hand rested around her pretty form. She sat between his legs, her own at one side over his lap as she rested against his broad chest, one hand holding the container as the other wiped the corner of his mouth shyly. 

It took her a moment to register his words. Y/n's eyes widened as she looked up at him in shock, gasping in an offended manner. The Sheriff's chest rumbled with a chuckle. "Sheriff!" Her bottom lip cutely jutted out for a second. "That was very mean!" 

"Not wrong though, am I?" He kissed a precautionary kiss to her temple still, knowing how sensitive she could be. 

Sometimes Lee found it hard to believe how someone like him could find something so pure and untainted like her. He knew he didn't deserve her. She could do so much better than a man of his like.

Yet, she treated him so well. Always being so good to him. For him. Treating him like a King and obeying him so well. 

So honest. So good. So kind.

Y/n was perhaps the only person who he didn't have to press into treating him with respect. 

She loved him out of her free will and stayed with him by choice. Not because he was the Sheriff. Not because she was intimidated into doing so. Not because she needed him to do something for her. 

But simply because he was Lee. 

Her Lee. 

Not to mention her words sounded truthful every time she complimented his appearance, making sure to hug his insecurities away every time he saw her nude and feared he was not a match for her beauty.

He had never been the insecure type but she was just so good that he could not help but want to be better. For her. 

To be worthy of her.

There was none other like her. 

Could not be. 

God must have taken millenniums carving and sculpting her soul alone. 

Something so perfect. So supreme.

She was from a world none of the people around her belonged to. That he belonged to.

A place far superior and pristine than this shithole of a world they lived in. 

"You shouldn't come around so much, you know." Y/n's eyes were fixated on his tie. "It will take away the grace of your appearance as a special guest." He smirked. 

"Oh, it will, will it?" The arm that was around her raised so he could toy with her hair. "But a man's gotta do his job now, doesn't he?" 

Her cheeks puffed up as her eyebrows furrowed. "Someone will find out. I thought you wanted to give it more time." Putting the container aside, she handed him a water bottle to drink from because the Sheriff had a habit of dehydrating himself that she disliked a lot. 

"Oh, don't worry, honeypie." Knowing she would get upset if he refused the water, Lee removed his hand from her tender ass cheek and gulped some sips down. "You aren't the only girl there, no one will suspect it. If anything, the speculation will be about me and Miss Smith or Mrs. Kline with how clingy-"

Her pretty eyes were cross as she looked up at him for only a second before focusing back on his tie, though deliberately tugging at it a little to make her unhappiness with his teasing known. He loved how he could read through every one of her quirks. 

Fuck, he was whipped.

"But you only look at me though." Y/n's words were tight with jealousy as she poked the dent between his chin. "There is a visible difference."

Lee's chuckle caused a pout to form on her lips. Her possessiveness was both heartwarming and adorable. 

"Oh, come here you" he leaned in, she moved away, glaring at his cruiser that was parked a few feet away though not saying anything as her cheeks puffed up a little. The Sheriff couldn't help but chuckle again, sneaking a quick peck on her cheek before she could deny him again. "Well, you see Miss Y/n, there may be a lot of girls there but only one is my honeypie and she doesn't have to worry about the others."

"Really?" Y/n was still looking at the vehicle while chewing on her bottom lip. An adorable eyebrow raised itself. "And what is her name?" With how softly she spoke, Lee didn't get how she worked her job with all those loud and misbehaving kids. 

He shook his head and smirked, pulling her closer until she was pressing against his chest again. "Oh, you don't know?" One of his hands dipped between her legs sinisterly, finding its way to her clothed pussy inside her dress that was his favorite colour. "But I tell you about her all the time…" Y/n's pretty lips fell open, a shaky breath shivering its way out of her as her back curled outwards. 

"Sh- Sheriff~" the teacher whimpered out as she braced herself by shakily holding his leg that was behind her for support. 

"This girl that I am seeing?" The older buried his nose between her hair, inhaling her scent and drinking the unique sweetness that lingered in it. "The pretty girl who teaches the 4th graders at the town school" he effortlessly pushed the thin fabric covering her sex aside. "One who is always worrying for my well being and…" His free hand guided one of her hands to the tent forming in his uniform pants in an awkward position. "... Manly needs."

Y/n moaned at his last words that he had whispered right in her ear. "Sh- She does?"

"Oh yes" his voice was hoarse as the girl obediently started to massage his bulge in a gentle manner. "She's a real sweet thing, my honeypie. Very cute and innocent. But…" His lips found her ear again. "Leave her with me and she can be the dirtiest little thing in the whole town" her thighs trembled when his middle finger dragged down her soaked flesh before repeating the same motion. "Such a dumb little thing she is. Never refusing any of my demands and letting me do to her whatever I please" Y/n's face was red again as sweat trickled down one of her temples. 

"Sheriff~" she protested with a whine, slowly running her hand up and down Lee's cock that he had unclothed with his free hand. 

He was so mean with his words that it filled her stomach with butterflies every time he was at it. "I have a feeling she puts on a show acting all shy and embarrassed but actually really likes it when I treat her like the slut she is" the cross pendant that she wore around her neck was glaring at them under the evening sun. "But I bet she would let me put it up her religious little pucker if I wanted to."

A sob curled out of her chest at his words, eyes glazing over and hand tightening around his cock when one of his thick fingers violated its way into her tight pussy that Lee had defiled after a few months of seeing each other. Oh, how she had made him work for it. 

"Sheriff!" Y/n couldn't tell if it was a protest against his blasphemous words or a moan of wanton. "P- Please~!" Her hips moved along his fingers, hand making sure to not leave him neglected. "S- Stop with t- that! For Lord's s- sake!" Lee hissed when her thumb rubbed over his leaking tip.

His pleasure mattered to her more than anything. He deserved everything good for being such a great man and for treating her so well. 

"For Lord's sake?" Lee mocked, getting off on the horror he was to her conservativeness. "What about my sake?" His lips pressed kisses along the shell of her ear. "Can you feel how hard it is for you, honeypie? Feel what you do to me? Strutting around that school in your pretty little dresses acting all innocent and big, huh?" Another finger pushed its way inside Y/n's tight ring of muscles. "But really you're just the Sheriff's little slut, always thanking him whenever he bends you over to make a nasty little mess out of you."

"Y- Yes, Sheriff!" Throwing her head back, the girl moaned out. "Thank you, Sheriff!" Lee bit his lip as his hips bucked up. Fuck. He loved it when she thanked him like that. "Thank you, Sheriff! S- So good!" This was the only time she would get a little bold and dirty with her words. "I am!" Yet she refrained from the word itself. "I like being it! Y- You're so good!" 

Lee clicked his tongue while panting at the same time, feeling his orgasm nearing. "You're what, huh?" He almost demanded, grabbing a hold of her hair though not so hard that it hurt, only hard enough to make her face him. "You like being what?" The Sheriff's fingers were fucking her rough and deep, loud finger fucking noises floating in the air around them. "Say it." His voice was stern as fucked himself in her hand. "Say it, or else…" 

The threat was followed by a slowing down of his fingers and so Y/n succumbed to the desperation between her hips. "Slut! Your slut, sir!" Lee bit his lip at her choice of words. Fucking hell. How could someone be this good? "I like being your slut, Sheriff! I swear!" A shaky sob was followed by few tears as the girl crashed, screaming in pleasure before her body fought against his arm that had caged her against his chest to contain her in place as his thumb mercilessly overstimulated the sensitive hood of her clit, slick coated fingers fucking her orgasm out of her. 

Y/n's fist was slamming up and down at this point, causing Lee to follow suit as he came all over the girl's hand, peppering kisses all over the side of her face that was turned towards him as he whispered soft praises. 

"Fuck, honeypie. You really will be the death of me." The Sheriff panted out once he had come down his high. 

Her softened form jolted up at once, clean hand slapping over his lips as her eyes widened angrily. "Don't you DARE ever say anything like that again." Enveloping his bigger form in her arms, she pressed protective kisses all over his clothed chest. "You are staying here with me forever. You promised, remember, Sheriff?" Her voice was worked up from the loud moaning and screaming as it wasn't used to functioning at loud volumes except for passionate times such as these. 

Lee smiled fondly at her. "I remember." 

He could never be alone or miserable as long as his honeypie was with him.

The feelings were mutual.

Los deportes siempre han sido una parte importante de la cultura y la historia humanas. Desde la antigüedad hasta nuestros días, la gente se ha sentido atraída por los retos físicos y la competición de los deportes de contacto. Sin embargo, tras el glamour y la emoción, hay historias desconocidas que esperan a ser descubiertas. En este artículo, exploraremos el fascinante mundo de los deportes de contacto y profundizaremos en algunos de los aspectos menos conocidos de este ámbito. Desde la vida de la leyenda del boxeo Muhammad Ali hasta el origen de las MMA, desde la historia del Club Natación hasta la vida política de Fran Hervías, descubriremos las historias jamás contadas de los deportes de contacto. Así que, siéntate y acompáñanos en este viaje a la historia jamás contada de los deportes de contacto. Muhammad Ali: Una vida en imágenes Un titán en el mundo del boxeo, Cassius Clay, más tarde conocido como Muhammad Ali, tuvo una ilustre carrera que desde entonces se ha convertido en legendaria. Desde sus increíbles combates con Joe Frazier y George Foreman hasta su negativa a ser reclutado para la guerra de Vietnam, la vida y la carrera de Ali crearon un impacto duradero no sólo en el mundo del deporte, sino en la cultura en general. Este documental, Muhammad Ali: Una vida en imágenes, ofrece una mirada única a la vida de este gran atleta, con imágenes de archivo, fotografías y entrevistas. Experimenta la acción de los combates emblemáticos de Ali, como el Rumble in the Jungle en Kinshasa, Zaire, y el Thrilla in Manila en Filipinas, como si estuvieras allí mismo en el ring. Profundiza en la vida personal de Ali, incluida su familia y su lucha contra la enfermedad de Parkinson. Muhammad Ali: Una vida en imágenes capta la esencia de la persona de Ali, su estilo de lucha y la influencia que tuvo en el deporte del boxeo y más allá. Como Ali dijo célebremente: "Odiaba cada minuto de entrenamiento, pero me dije: no abandones. Sufre ahora y vive el resto de tu vida como un campeón. Esta película es un poderoso recordatorio del legado de este gran campeón y de su increíble Copa Rey. El origen de las MMA Las artes marciales mixtas han crecido hasta convertirse en uno de los deportes de contacto más emocionantes y competitivos del mundo. Pero, ¿cómo empezó todo? Sus raíces se remontan al antiguo deporte griego del Pankration. Se trataba de una combinación de lucha libre y boxeo, y era conocido por ser uno de los deportes más duros, y posiblemente más arriesgados, de su época. Con el tiempo, el Imperio Romano prohibió este deporte, pero siguió practicándose en secreto en Europa y Asia durante siglos. No fue hasta el siglo XX cuando la MMA empezó a adquirir reconocimiento mundial. Una figura clave en los inicios de la MMA fue Bruce Lee. El maestro de artes marciales desarrolló un nuevo sistema de combate llamado Jeet Kune Do, que mezclaba boxeo, lucha libre y kárate. La filosofía de Lee sobre las artes marciales tuvo un profundo impacto en los primeros luchadores de MMA, y su legado sigue resonando hoy en día. Los primeros eventos oficiales de MMA se celebraron en Brasil en las décadas de 1920 y 1930, bajo el nombre de Vale Tudo, que significa "todo vale" en portugués. Era un estilo de lucha sin restricciones que permitía el uso de cualquier técnica, desde patadas a puñetazos, pasando por el agarre. Este deporte se hizo increíblemente popular en Brasil y posteriormente se extendió a otros países de Sudamérica y Asia. En la década de 1990, se introdujo en Estados Unidos el Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Fundado por el maestro de jiu-jitsu brasileño Rorion Gracie, el UFC se creó para demostrar la eficacia de su estilo de artes marciales. Pronto se convirtió en un fenómeno mundial, y desde entonces ha dado lugar a algunas de las estrellas más renombradas de este deporte, como Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov y el galáctico llega, Anderson Silva.

Uno de los vídeos más aclamados del canal es el dedicado al Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, que profundiza en la historia del equipo y en la influencia que ha tenido en la cultura española. En el ámbito de los deportes de contacto, La Historia Jamás Contada tiene varios vídeos que exploran la historia del boxeo y las artes marciales mixtas. Los vídeos de Juan ofrecen una mirada perspicaz sobre la evolución de estos deportes y la importancia que han tenido en la sociedad. Uno de los vídeos más interesantes trata sobre el primer torneo de artes marciales mixtas que se celebró en Estados Unidos en 1993. El vídeo examina los orígenes del deporte y sus primeros días, y también incluye entrevistas a algunos de los competidores originales. Además, el canal de Juan también cubre la historia del boxeo femenino. El vídeo se sumerge en las luchas que han encontrado las mujeres en este deporte, como los prejuicios y la falta de apoyo. También rinde homenaje a algunas de las pioneras de este deporte, como Christy Martin y Laila Ali, hija de un renombrado boxeador, que han sido esenciales para su crecimiento y desarrollo. Este vídeo sirve como recordatorio de la necesidad de equidad y representación en el deporte. Por último, Juan también dedica parte de su canal a la historia de la lucha libre. Aunque la lucha libre se considera a menudo un entretenimiento más que un deporte, tiene un pasado muy arraigado que merece la pena explorar. Uno de los vídeos más populares de Juan trata sobre la lucha libre, una forma de lucha originaria de México. El vídeo investiga la importancia cultural de la lucha libre y cómo ha moldeado la cultura mexicana. Es una mirada apasionante a un deporte del que rara vez se habla en las conversaciones generales sobre deportes de contacto. La historia de los deportes de contacto Los deportes de contacto han existido durante siglos y han evolucionado a lo largo del tiempo. Estas disciplinas se caracterizan por la interacción física entre los competidores, donde el objetivo principal es vencer al oponente. A continuación, te presentaré una breve historia de los deportes de contacto. Los primeros indicios de deportes de contacto se remontan a las antiguas civilizaciones.

En la antigua Grecia, se practicaba el pankration, una combinación de boxeo y lucha, donde los participantes podían golpearse y someterse mutuamente. Este deporte era parte de los Juegos Olímpicos y se consideraba una prueba de habilidad y valentía. Durante la Edad Media, en Europa, surgieron deportes de combate como el esgrima y el boxeo inglés. El boxeo inglés primitivo no tenía reglas ni guantes, lo que resultaba en peleas brutales y peligrosas. Sin embargo, en el siglo XVIII, se introdujeron algunas normas y se desarrollaron los primeros guantes de boxeo acolchados para reducir el riesgo de lesiones graves. A finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, el boxeo moderno se estableció como uno de los deportes de contacto más populares. Se crearon reglas más estrictas, se introdujo el sistema de pesos y categorías, y se formaron organismos de control y regulación, como la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB) y el Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CMB). En paralelo, surgieron otras disciplinas de contacto, como las artes marciales mixtas (MMA, por sus siglas en inglés). El MMA combina diferentes técnicas de lucha, como el boxeo, el judo, el jiu-jitsu brasileño, el muay thai y la lucha libre, entre otras. Este deporte ganó popularidad a partir de la década de 1990, con la creación de la UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) como la principal organización de MMA. En la actualidad, los deportes de contacto continúan evolucionando y diversificándose. Además del boxeo y las artes marciales mixtas, existen disciplinas como el kickboxing, el taekwondo, el karate, el judo y la lucha libre, entre otras. Estos deportes se practican tanto a nivel amateur como profesional, y muchos de ellos forman parte de eventos deportivos internacionales, como los Juegos Olímpicos y los campeonatos mundiales. Los deportes de contacto han encontrado su lugar en la sociedad como actividades competitivas y formas de entrenamiento físico. Siempre bajo regulaciones y medidas de seguridad adecuadas, ofrecen a los participantes la oportunidad de demostrar su habilidad, disciplina y fortaleza, al tiempo que fomentan el respeto y la camaradería entre los competidores.

Against all odds: Elyoya wills MAD Lions to a LEC Spring Finals date with Team BDS

After their first few games in the 2023 LEC Spring Split group stage, not many people believed MAD Lions, and those concerns persisted as the well-known League of Legends team stumbled into the playoffs. Nevertheless, MAD Lions booked their place in the LEC Spring Finals by defeating Vitality. https://twitter.com/LEC/status/1649857166948421632 Throughout the series today, April 22, MAD Lions showed great composure and confidence, taking multiple fights and not shying away from any skirmishes in the early stages of the game. They also showcased incredible teamfighting prowess as a unit, whether it was Zdravets “Hylissang” Galabov finding a perfect angle on Nautilus, Kim “Chasy” Dong-hyeon flashing in with a five-man Kennen ultimate, or Javier “Elyoya” Prades Batalla taking over the jungle with well-timed ganks and fearless engages with Vi and Lee Sin. The 23-year-old won Player of the Series honors for his efforts after leading his team with 14 kills, 35 assists, and only five deaths over the four games played. He has also been very vocal about MAD Lions’ possible road to the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational, and how he wants to earn their place at the tournament instead of simply receiving it through championship points. https://twitter.com/LEC/status/1649854724483547136 Elyoya isn’t the only player that has stepped up in this run to the finals, though. Matyáš “Carzzy” Orság has been playing a lot more aggressively over the past two series, and Hylissang has been finding his groove on engage champions once again. Chasy has dominated his opposing laners, and Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer has also jumped up as a major carry threat from the mid lane. They will, however, have to use this momentum to power themselves against BDS, who have cemented themselves as the best team in the league. The roster hasn’t lost a single game since the second week of the regular season, and has been one of the strongest teamfighting rosters in Europe at the moment. Catch all of the action when MAD Lions and BDS collide tomorrow at 11am CT. Read the full article
