Chapter 1

You shoved your cold hands into the pockets of your dark blue jeans as you walked through the corridor of Boston QZ. You came around the corner of the infested FEDRA streets and went into the brown brick building. It was quiet here. You could finally think without being surrounded by the yelling soldiers in the streets. This wasn’t really a place you wanted to stay.

You came here to see Tess. Something about helping you flee this area. You hadn’t been here long, but the amount you stayed was more than enough. Your mind raced as you made your way up the wooden steps, stopping at a red door. You knocked three times hoping Tess would answer shortly. After a moment Tess opened the door.

“Ahh. Aly, come in,” she motioned.

“Thanks,” you said as you stepped through the threshold. You found the small black leather couch in the corner of the room and sank down into the cool leather. You rested your hands on your forehead and leaned over until Tess interrupted your thoughts.

“You alright?” Tess asked, concern lathered in her voice.

You sighed and looked up at her. “I’m good, Tess. Really. Don’t worry about me,” you said as another sigh escaped your mouth. She looked at you another moment before she spoke again.

“You really want to get out of here don’t you?” she asked with sincerity in her voice. Her hazel eyes looked sad as she looked at the ground. “Look Aly, I came up with a plan on how you can get out of here. It might be a little dangerous, but I think you should try if that’s really what you want to do..”

Before she could finish her sentence, the front door lock twisted and turned as a tall man barged through the door and slammed the door shut. He had on a red plaid shirt, light blue jeans and some dark brown work boots. His sleeves were rolled up and you could see the way his veins bulged as he flexed his left arm to fix his messy dark hair. He had patches of grey streaked through his hair, and you could see this man had been through a lot just by the way he carried himself.

He stopped and stared at you the moment he saw you sitting in the corner. His eyes were curious yet leary. His gaze lingered for a moment before he looked back at Tess. “Who’s the girl, Tess, and why is she in our living room?” He walked over to Tess and practically threw a sack full of supplies into her arms. Tess caught it and huffed in annoyance.

“This is Aly. Aly, this is Joel,” she said to you as she put the sack down on the floor.

Rain pelted on the outside window lightly as Joel walked back into the living room from the kitchen. Joel glanced at you and then looked back at Tess, clearly waiting for a response. Tess closed her eyes before she spoke softly. “Aly’s going to go with you to find Tommy.”

“I’m what?” you said alarmingly as you stood up from the couch and walked over to Tess.

“She’s what?!” Joel shouted as he glared from you back to Tess.

“Joel, listen, I need to explain,” Tess pleaded before Joel interrupted her.

“I don’t even know this girl, Tess! Do you? Do you have any idea where she came from or what her intentions are? What if she was sent here as a spy to try to corrupt this place even more? What the fuck are you thinking,” Joel said angrily as his face turned a shade of red.

“Hey!” you fought back. “I’m not working for anyone. I just stumbled upon this shitty little town that’s overrun by FEDRA. I don’t even want to be here so I’m gonna do whatever I can to get the hell out of here.” You snapped and Joel’s expression lightened up a little. He looked you up and down before he turned back to Tess.

“You want to tell me what the hell is going on?” Joel asked with his arms crossed and eyebrows raised.

Tess led him to the opposite couch, grabbed Joel’s arm and directed him to sit down. He did so without a fuss. He huffed and looked back at you as you sat on the couch across from them.

Tess told you a little bit about her and Joel before. They weren’t together, but you could tell there was something unspoken between them. They shared the apartment space and got along well enough is what it sounded like. You didn’t know anything about him though.

Tess looked between you both and Joel looked like he was running out of patience. His foot tapped loudly until Tess slapped his knee and made his leg stop moving. Joel glared up at her and removed her hand. Joel scowled and finally relaxed back into the couch. “Alright, let’s hear your big plan then since none of the rest of us know what the fuck is going on,” he snarled.

Tess gave Joel a sympathetic look before speaking. “I know you’ve been planning on trying to go find Tommy for awhile now. And he’s miles and miles from here. Aly here wants to get out of the QZ.” Joel looked a moment at you as gears grinded in his brain and looked back to Tess. “That’s a long journey to make on your own. One you shouldn’t do alone. You really need someone to go with you, Joel. This is your chance to make an escape. You could leave tonight if you really wanted to. You’d have to sneak past FEDRA though. That’d be pretty risky, but I think you could do it. You’re good at sneaking. Maybe this is your time. There’s a white pickup truck waiting for you outside the city gates. I have the keys. You just have to get there safely, and you could take it as long as it’d take you. There’s some extra fuel in the back of the truck. It’s yours for the taking.”

Joel looked lost in his thoughts as he ran a hand through his messy hair and rested his hands under his chin. He leaned forward and contemplated for what seemed like an eternity. He looked back up into your eyes, and his eyes were dark. They were almond colored with a hint of honey and hazel mixed together. They were brooding and calculating, piercing right through you.

He held your gaze and the words rolled off his tongue with a hint of anger. “No.” Your heart sank as the words registered in your brain. He wouldn’t budge.

He got up off the couch and walked towards his room in the back of the apartment. Tess got up and followed him, trying to catch his arm. “Joel, please. Just think about it,” she begged.

“I said no! And where the hell did you even find a truck?!” Joel responded loudly. He slammed the door in her face before she could even answer him.

Tess rested on the door for a minute before she walked back to you. She collapsed on the couch in defeat and faced you with sad eyes. “I’m really sorry, Aly. He really doesn’t budge when he has his mind made up. He’s stubborn and a pain in the ass. I really tried. I swear,” she said as she placed a hand on your back.

You held back tears and replied with a small smile to lighten the mood. “It’s fine, Tess. I know you tried. Joel doesn’t really seem like someone I’d want to travel with anyways. I can find another way. I hope.”

You moved off the couch slowly and grabbed your backpack off the floor. It was heavy and had a purple floral design on the back. “I should go back to my apartment. Thanks again for trying,” you said as you opened the squeaky door and closed it softly behind you. You didn’t give Tess the chance to say goodbye.

Dread filled your body as you slumped down the stairs and turned the corner. Your apartment was just on the opposite side of the hall as theirs. You had only been here a few weeks and already wanted to escape. That’s what you were good at doing though. Escaping. Leaving before you got stuck in one place for too long.

You rounded the corner and took the gold key out of your pocket. The key fit into the lock smoothly as you turned it to the left and opened the door. Your apartment was bare inside. The white walls had cracks starting to form above the kitchen. There was a broken tv in the corner of the room that had probably been there for years. There was also a single fold out chair that sat in front of it.

The twin sized bed in the bedroom was broken, so you had a blow up mattress sprawled across the living room floor. You set your bag down beside the bed and walked into the bathroom, turning on the lights. The lights were dim and flickered as thunder rumbled across the sky outside.

You looked at yourself in the mirror as dark blue eyes stared back at you in the mirror. They always reminded you of what a sapphire looked like. Shiny and deep blue. Your long brunette hair fell in waves past your shoulders.

You looked as if you had barely slept the past week with dark shadows below your eyes. “I thought turning 35 was supposed to be more fun than this,” you said to yourself in the mirror. “Guess I was wrong.” You grabbed the brush that laid on the sink and got the knots out of your hair. Smooth waves appeared instead of the tangled mess the rain did to your hair. You set the brush down and turned off the light in the bathroom as you walked out.

You plopped down on the mattress and took off the black hoodie you had on. You closed your eyes and thought about how you could get out of here. Thoughts of Joel and Tess appeared in your head. Why couldn’t there have been another way out of here? Would you be stuck here forever? Trapped behind the watchful eyes of FEDRA.

Sleep overtook you as you listened to the rain pound against the window, thunder crashing in the distance. You dreamed of escape. There was a large forest filled with moss covered rocks and towering green trees. Infected noises could be heard in the distance as you ran through the forest. You tripped and fell on a large root sticking up from the ground. When you turned to get up a runner jumped on you as you screamed and thrashed against its grip. Before it took a bite out of you, you were jolted awake.

There was a sharp knock coming from the front door. You looked at the clock and it was midnight. You were out for hours. You got up slowly and unlocked the door warily. You were shocked to see who was behind the door.

Joel. You took a step back as you opened the door wider. There he was leaning up against the door post. He had a black backpack draped around his shoulder. He looked annoyed and bothered. He stared up into your eyes as he leaned away from the entry of the door. “Let’s go,” he said in a deep voice. He had a thick southern accent that could make a room shake with either charm or fear.

“What?” you asked questioning his response.

“You heard what I said. Pack your bags and let’s go,” he said calmly as he walked into the room. You were standing in a black tank top and blue jeans. He went over and grabbed your hoodie and backpack. He threw the hoodie at you and set down the backpack by the door. You quickly threw the hoodie on and made sure you had everything you needed in your bag.

“What made you change your mind?” you asked cautiously. You shifted your weight as you became nervous thinking he’d start yelling again.

He placed his hands on his hips and thought for a second before answering. “Plans changed, that’s all. I need to get halfway across the United States. Salt Lake City to be exact. That’s all I’m gonna say. You can either come with me or you can stay here in this hell hole. It’s your choice. Do what you want.” He was cold. He didn’t seem to have a hint of kindness in him at that moment.

You really didn’t want to go with him, but this was your only chance. If you didn’t leave now then you might never get out. “Alright. I’ll go with you. But only cause it’s my only shot to get out of this place,” you sighed.

Joel nodded in response. “Look, I’m not looking to make new friends. We don’t even have to have conversations. Let’s just keep to ourselves and keep our distance.” He picked up your bag and threw it at you forcefully. You caught it as it crashed against your ribs, almost knocking the wind out of you.

“Fine with me, let’s make this short and sweet,” you rolled your eyes as you gathered a few more things in the bag. You couldn’t believe Tess partnered you up with the most hateful man in the community. Couldn’t she have asked your opinion first before she planned this entire thing? You were angry with the way Joel was acting, but you sucked it up as you walked to the front of the apartment.

Joel looked coldly at you before he opened the door. “Follow me, but stay quiet. We’re gonna have to sneak past FEDRA.” Your eyes went wide as you shut the door quietly and followed him out into the dark of the night.

Oregon Trail TS3 Sim Narrowdown

Below the cut for length.

The Bakers

"Svetlana and Heathcliff love their daughter Becky, so of course they took her in when she and her son Topher needed a place to stay. But will they be able to enjoy their retirement with a noisy toddler in the house?"

The Bunchs

"Despite Jack's staunch and formal military appearance, he is actually a fun-loving guy who loves to host neighborhood barbecues."

"Judy is a hardworking woman with three jobs: wife, mother, and scientist. She doesn't get a lot of time for herself these days, and it's taken a toll on her exercise routine and eating habits."

"Ethan Bunch is the oldest of the four Bunch children. He is extremely outgoing and independent. At school, he is one of the top students in his class as well as one of the most popular. He has a special place in his heart for his littlest sister, Darlene."

"Lisa Bunch is a charismatic girl - as long as you don't cross her the wrong way. She's had her fair share of playground fights. Will she mature with age or wind up on the wrong side of the tracks?"

"Arlo is a superduperextremehyperactive ball of youth who is just not happy unless he's involved with something that requires running after something else. He's very close to every member of his family except his little sister, who drives him up the wall."

"As the youngest of the Bunch household, Darlene will do anything to get noticed and she's already had a few broken bones to show for it. She lives to torture her big brother, Arlo, but she absolutely idolizes her bigger brother, Ethan."

The Frios/Ursines

"Jared Frio isn't sure what he wants to do with his life. He knows he's good at cooking, but he just doesn't have the drive or ambition to become a great chef. He knows he's good at charming people, but he just doesn't have the desire to do more than scratch the surface of relationships. What will it take to aim him in the right direction?"

"A loner by nature, about the only person that Connor Frio doesn't mind having around is his brother, Jared. After all, his brother leaves him alone to be his own person, never trying to push him or mold him the way his parents and classmates did. No, Jared doesn't mind that Connor often likes to just sit alone, reading a good book, so why would Connor want to spend time with anyone else?"

"Claire Ursine is a reclusive angler living by the ocean. Since she lives alone, she is hopeful that no one will notice her unexpectedly changing waistline."

"If the pregnancy is left alone, the baby will almost always be born female. Addionally, the child will have red hair and light skin, as both parents share these features."

The Keegans

"Brennan and Julie appreciate the value of good healthy living and hard work. Can they impress these values on their three children?"

The Learys

"James and Kara Leary are old hippies from the '60s and have had a more… laissez faire approach to parenting. If you asked them, they love having their children around even if most of them are grown up."

"Rain just had to get away from her parents. She Couldn't stand all that constant praise over nothing. Now she can have some peace, enjoying "Good" Music and her last few days of High School."

"Cookie recently decided she'd like a kid of her own. And, just like that, it happened!"

"Helping others and putting a smile on someone's face are Sunshine's daily pursuits."

The Vazquezes

"Tyler loves to dote on his wife despite the ribbing he gets from his coworkers about marrying a older woman."

"Heather has been dancing on clouds ever since marrying her new husband Tyler."

"Elaine would have rather stayed with her bio dad after her moms divorce. She refused to change her name and tries to have as little to do with Tyler as possible."

"If Heather is left alone with story progression enabled, the baby will likely be a girl."

Ice Age rewatch/review/recap/analysis/observations

So four nights ago I watched Ice Age on Disney +.

I haven’t seen it in six and a half years.

While watching it, I just had to recap the whole movie and point out all these observations. Let’s begin, shall we?

Warning: SUPER LONG POST ahead

In very ancient times, a little saber-toothed squirrel known as Scrat is traveling across an icy landscape with an acorn, his only food. He’s desperate to keep it safe, so what does he do?

Haul it into the ice, that’s what. Little does he know that this action causes a massive crack in the ice that eventually results in two huge glaciers colliding into each other.

Still desperate to hold onto his only food, he slides through the glaciers as they ram into each other and barely makes it out alive, only to fall far, far into yet another landscape.

By cartoon logic, he survives a fall that would’ve definitely killed him in real life. He happily caresses his acorn and gets ready to head south with it when an enormous animal foot steps on him, taking it up with him, much to his dismay.

Meanwhile, a whole bunch of prehistoric animals are migrating south for the winter.

Some tapir kids (apparently these ancient tapirs are called “starts”) are literally pretending to drown in mud when their dad comes and tells them they can “play extinction later.” The kids reluctantly agree and leave the mud pit.

Then comes along a woolly mammoth heading north, of all directions, in the heavy traffic. He seems not to pay attention to anything until a start demands him to “move his issues off the road.”

And now for this iconic character’s very first line-”If my trunk was that small, I wouldn’t draw attention to myself, pal.” He moves along indifferently. 

Elsewhere, a sloth named Sid is waking up to find that his family abandoned him yet again. He resigns himself to traveling alone when he makes the mistake of stepping into glyptodont poop. 

Two rhinos are about to enjoy a green salad when Sid comes along and ruins it. On top of all that, he eats a delicious dandelion, apparently the last one of the season.

This really sets the rhinos off. 

They’re preparing to take their wrath out on Sid when the latter runs into Manfred the mammoth. When the rhinos make it clear that they want to kill Sid, Manny comes to his defense and successfully defeats the rhinos.

Grateful for the deed, Sid is about to leave on his own again when the rhinos threaten him from the cliff above, hence he decides he’s going to stick with this grouchy yet formidable mammoth, just in case. Manny learns the hard way that Sid can’t keep his mouth shut.

Meanwhile, in a camp of humans, Runar, the leader of the tribe, is playing with his baby son, Roshan, unaware that on a cliff above, a pack of smilodons is waiting.

Soto, the leader of the pack, is furious. The humans killed half his pack and how wear their skins to keep warm. 

And here’s where we meet Diego, a sinister-hearted warrior. He agrees with his leader on revenge. 

“Let’s show that human what happens when he messes with sabers.”

And, wow, you can hear the intensity just seething through his voice to the brim. We owe his voice actor Denis Leary for fitting the role like a glove.

Anyway, he is ordered to bring the human baby alive. After all, if Soto is going to enjoy his revenge, he wants it to be fresh.

Night is falling and Manny and Sid are preparing to make shelter. Manny is adept at the job, but Sid, not so much. Sometime later, it’s dark and raining. Manny is sheltered from the storm in his, well, shelter while Sid is out in the rain. He rambles to Manny about how his family abandoned him. He then asks Manny if he has family, to which Manny doesn’t answer but simply turn his back on, the first sign that he’s...hiding something. Sid just nonchalantly insists that they talk later then it begins to hail. With no shelter of his own, Sid hides under Manny’s tail.

The next morning, the sabers attack the human camp. Runar and his men fight back. Meanwhile, Diego creeps into one of the tents. Seeing the baby asleep, he prepares to take it, but the baby’s mother, Nadia, hits him with a club and flees the camp with her son.

Diego chases her until he corners her at a cliff. With no other option besides the saber getting them both, Nadia jumps over a waterfall.

Back at the camp, the other sabers are unable to find the baby, so Soto orders the pack out. He demands Diego where the baby is, and once he learns that he lost the baby, he makes a new plan to meet up at Half Peak with the baby. “And it better be alive.” Diego heads off in one direction while the rest of the pack heads off in another.

Traversing through a grove of apple trees, Manny and Sid are arguing about mating. Manny firmly believes that if you find a mate in life, you should be loyal, whereas Sid thinks mating for life is stupid. Their argument comes to an end with an unexpected sight at the bank of a stream: a human woman, weak and on the verge of death, clutching a bundle.

She manages to grip on to a fallen tree and pushes the bundle up toward the mammoth and sloth. Manny wraps his trunk around the bundle. Seeing this lifesaving act, Nadia smiles gratefully and lowers her head. 

Soon enough, the baby wakes up and Sid points out with amazement that he’s okay. But when he looks back at the stream, the baby’s mother is gone.

Manny turns around and walks away. Sid reprimands him for just leaving the baby, and Manny remarks, ”I’m still trying to get rid of the last thing I saved.” Sid finds smoke at the top of a cliff and knows that they baby’s people must be up there. Manny angrily refuses to go with him, so Sid decides that he’s going to do the task himself and tries in vain to scale the steep cliff.

During the unsuccessful attempt, the baby falls out of his blanket and is caught mid-fall by none other than Diego. Manny, however, gets the baby back. 

After appearing naturally threatening, Diego composes himself and insists that the “pink thing” is his. Sid retorts that the pink thing belongs to him and Manny.

“You two are bit of an odd couple.”

Diego, obviously lying, claims that he was returning the baby to his people. Manny knows better than to turn the baby over to a vicious smilodon warrior, which leaves him with no other choice but to return the baby with Sid.

They scale the cliff, only to find that the camp has been abandoned. Somehow, Diego can tell that the humans left the morning and knows where they went. Manny realizes that he’ll need Diego’s tracking skills to find the humans, so he reluctantly lets Diego come along. However, he makes sure that he and Sid hold on to the baby.

Diego’s threatening side shows through when he warns Sid that one day, when Manny’s no longer around to protect him, he’ll be chewing on his back.

The journey is tough, to say the least. Roshan begins crying nonstop no matter how much Sid tries to calm him down. That’s when Manny points out that the baby is wearing a diaper (or, as Manny puts it, “one of those baby thingies”). He then orders Sid to check the baby’s diaper.

Sid, acting disgusted, does so, and pretends to slip, loosing grip of the diaper, which lands on Manny’s trunk. Disgusted, Manny flings it off, only to find that it was clean all along. Still, Roshan keeps crying. That’s when Diego decides to take it upon himself to try calming the baby down by playing peek-a-boo.

“Where’s the baby...there he is. Where’s the baby...THERE HE IS!!”

Of course, having a smilodon play peek-a-boo with him only makes Roshan cry harder. Manny reprimands Diego for scring the baby when the baby’s stomach rumbles, a dead giveaway of the real problem. Manny suggests they find milk for him. The only problem is, there’s none around. Fortunately, they spot a melon nearby. But when they try to grab it, a dodo grabs it.

That’s when they come across what’s basically a dodo doomsday cult.

“Prepare for the Ice Age.”

“Protect the dodo way of life.”

“Survival separates the dodos from the beasts.”

They ask the dodos as politely as possible if they can have the melon back, but the dodos refuse, insisting that the three melons they have are their private stockpile for the Ice Age, which will apparently force them underground for millions of years in order to survive. Manny points out how weird it is to have just three melons in order to fulfill such an endeavor.

The dodos think they’re in the right.

“Doom on you. Doom on you. Doom on you.”

This part was legit hilarious XD

The trio retrieves the melon. Panicking, the dodos order each other to retrieve the melon. In other words, “Tae Kwon Dodos.”

But the Tae Kwon Dodos aren’t as competent as they think. One melon goes over a cliff, after which several dodos follow, apparently too dumb to remember that they can’t fly. Among the dead is their last female (no wonder they’re doomed). Another melon falls into a broiling water pit, which a few unfortunate dodos also fall into. 

Sid gets the last melon, but is cornered by squadrons of dodos. Determined to feed the baby, he fights his way through the dodos, successfully outsmarting them. He does a victory dance and promptly smashes the melon on the ground. Disgusted, Diego points out that they’ll have to find more food, but Roshan happily eats the melon right there. Mission accomplished. 

Later that night, Sid decides to find a meal befitting a conquering hero. He finds an acorn and happily accepts it as a worthy meal, only to get attack by a highly protective Scrat, who fiercely defends his rightful meal.

It’s bedtime for the travelers and Sid chooses to sleep on a rock. But instead of falling asleep peacefully and quietly, Sid remains conscious and even beatboxes.

Lesson learned-never trust Sid as a roommate.

Eventually, though, Manny and Sid do fall asleep. Diego, having pretended to fall asleep, opens his eyes, which give an ethereal green glow in the darkness of the night. He tries to get the baby, but Manny’s trunk tightens around the baby protectively. Then he hears something in the bushes and bounds right up, tackling his packmate Zeke. Oscar, another packmate, is also there and reminds him that Soto’s getting tired of waiting. Diego tells them to tell Soto that he’s not just bringing the baby, but a mammoth as well.

The others are excited about the prospect of eating a mammoth and try to attack then and there, but Diego stops them, reminding them that they’ll need the whole pack to take the mammoth down. When the other sabers leave, he returns to his place and falls asleep. 

The next morning, Manny wakes up to find the baby gone from his trunk. After demanding Diego where the baby is, they both realize that Sid must have taken him without their knowledge. Sid is showing Roshan off to two female sloths in a hot mud bath and they find the baby adorable. Sid claims to have saved the baby from sabers, which impresses the ladies.

Before long, Manny comes and removes Roshan from the tub. After begging Manny that he needs the baby, Manny quips, “What, a good-looking guy like you?” and puts the baby down on a thick tree branch. Sid swaggers back to the tub, only to find that the female sloths are gone, with Frank and Carl in their place. Sid promptly screams in terror. 

Meanwhile, Manny rants about Sid and Diego and points out how non-threatening this human baby is. Just then, Roshan hugs Manny’s trunk, and for a brief moment we can see Manny’s soft side show through and how he’s starting to become fond of Roshan. Then the softness wears off and Manny angrily asks the baby if his trunk looks like a petting zoo. Then Roshan pulls out a few of Manny’s trunk hairs, causing Manny great pain. Annoyed, Manny puts Roshan in time-out on a tree branch.

Sid is fleeing the rhinos when he runs into Diego. Thankful for his, he pretends out loud that Diego is attacking him and begs Diego to put him in his mouth. When Diego refuses, Sid bites the saber, which definitely convinces Diego that Sid deserves to be in his mouth. When the rhinos arrive, Sid is caught in Diego’s mouth and hangs limp and still. The rhinos smell Sid and his unpleasant smell is strong enough to fool them. Angrily, they leave, believing that the saber took away their fun. 

Sid, relieved to have survived the rhino’s wrath, tells Diego to let go, which he doesn’t. Manny arrives and tells Diego to spit Sid out because they don’t know where he’s been. They head off once more on their journey.

Cue the “Send Me On My Way” sequence.

Here we get to see some splice-of-life shenanigans with the characters. First, Sid and Roshan get into a poking match that gets out of hand. Then we see Sid end up on a geyser. Manny and Diego count down from 3 to 1 until Sid gets shot up. This one moment shows the beginning of a brotherly bond between the two.

Sid throws a snowball at Manny and blames it on Roshan.

“Modern architecture. It’ll never last.”

Then we see the herd cross paths with Scrat, whom they ask for directions. Though Scrat doesn’t talk, it is shown here that he does understand spoken language. Manny asks if he’s seen any humans, which Scrat hasn’t. Then comes the world’s first game of charades. Scrat manages to get it across to the trio that he saw a pack, but when he tries to tell them that he saw a pack of sabers, the trio gets confused. Eventually, Diego flicks the squirrel away.

Later on, Sid throws another snowball at Manny and this time Roshan points at Sid. Sid pays for it big-time.

A little while later, Diego spots human footprints and then the humans. Not wanting to let the others see them, he finds a crevice running through a nearby glacier. He tells the others, but Manny doesn’t trust the idea. Diego temps him, saying, “This time tomorrow, you could be a free mammoth.” Freedom sounds like a good idea to Manny, so he reluctantly agrees. Sid, however, is skeptical and opts to choose life, only to be reminded sternly by Diego that the shortcut means life. When he asks the saber if he’s threatening him, Diego snaps, “Move, sloth!” in a loud, echoing voice.

Big mistake. The reverberation causes an avalanche above them, which leaves them with no other choice but to rush into the shortcut. 

As they travel through the icy caverns, Sid gets separated from the others and comes across what we as the Ice Age fandom should rightfully dub the “Hall of Foreshadowing.” A sharp-toothed piranha-like fish, a huge, menacing dinosaur, a sloth evolution, and finally a UFO. He hurries to catch up with the others.

Without the others noticing, Roshan slips off Manny’s back and onto a slippery overhang. The next thing they know, Roshan is shooting straight past them on an ice slide. Seconds later, he has sailed into a tunnel out of sight. 

The trio immediately takes off after him. An epic slide chase ensues, with Sid making a Titanic reference at one point.

In the end, they all make it out of the ordeal alive, with Diego eagerly exclaiming, “Who’s up for round two?” Manny and Sid aren’t eager to repeat the experience, so they all hurry off. 

In awe they find themselves in a huge cavern with human cave paintings covering the walls and ceiling. Intricate drawings depict prehistoric beasts of all sorts, including vicious smilodons chasing after their antelope prey. Sid notices a lack of sloths in the drawings and complains about it. 

Now here we come to one of the most emotional and profound parts of the move.

Sid is the one to find a drawing of a mammoth. He points out how much it looks like Manny. Manny at first thinks Sid is kidding, but Sid continues, “He’s happy. Look, he’s playing with his kid. That’s your problem. That’s what mammoths are supposed to do. Find a she-mammoth, have a little baby mammoth-” but Diego interrupts him. Manny is standing perfectly still in front of the painting with wide, sad brown eyes. “Sid,” Diego urges, “shut up.”

Sid then finally understands what Diego is trying to tell him. 

And here the flashback begins. In stylized hand-drawn animation, a young mammoth calf is playing with his parents peacefully. His parents lovingly embrace each other. Their calf trots off, then abruptly turns around, followed by a band of human hunters. The calf’s mother runs off protectively with him while other hunters surround Manny with spears. Manny survives the attack, but his mate and calf are cornered under a cliff and showered with stones to their death. Manny roars. An agonized, devastated roar bearing witness to something that will haunt him for the rest of his life. 

Feels feels feels!

Back in the present, there is complete silence in the cave. Manny reaches his trunk out to touch the painting of his lost only child. Just as his trunk touches the image, it bumps into Roshan’s tiny hand. Roshan looks up at Manny with innocent eyes, his arms held out awaiting a hug. Manny scoops him up with his trunk and, eyes brimming with tears, holds him close. After losing own baby, he’s more determined than ever to keep this one sage.

Putting the baby on his back, Manny leaves the cave without a word, followed by Sid. Diego lingers for a moment longer and we a glimpse of the process of him changing for the better. He thinks of the pain the human hunters caused Manny. He knows he’s planning to do the same to Roshan’s family.

Meanwhile, the humans are still searching the snow-covered valley for Roshan. The domesticated wolves tracking Roshan have lost his scent, and Runar realizes that it might be time to give up the search.

After the animals have left the cave, they catch a glimpse of Half-Peak. They know that they’re almost at Glacier Pass, where the humans are headed. Sid stands still for a moment and looks down at his feet, suddenly noticing that the snow-covered land beneath his feet feels awfully warm, which he points out.

Diego and Manny dismiss the warning, but Sid isn’t kidding. To make matters worse, he can hear rumbling from under his feet. Suddenly, a blast of hot lava explodes from beneath the ice. Fountains of molten earth burst forth at a rapid pace. It melts the snow, leaving large lakes in its place. The ground beneath the animals’ feet is quickly disappearing.

They immediately high-tail it out of there as fast as they can. As they try to make their way to more safe and solid ground, a section of ice between Diego and Sid melts away and the saber is left on an island of his own. Quickly he leaps to the larger mound that holds Manny and Sid. Manny kicks Sid onto safe ground then jumps after Sid.

Diego leaps out and tries to join them, but misses his mark and lands on a crumbling bridge. He desperately digs his claws into the surface and struggles to pull himself up. Manny hands Roshan to Sid and races back to the bridge to help Diego. He urges Diego to old on, but Diego can’t. His claws begin to slip. Manny stretches his trunk as far as he can to Diego, who digs his claws into the trunk. As Manny winces in pain, the ice begins the crack beneath him. He manages to fling Diego onto solid ground, saving him from the boiling lava lakes. But this doesn’t come without a price.

The bridge breaks beneath Manny and with a forlorn trumpet he falls, disappearing from sight. But in no time at all another explosion of lava hurls him into the air. He falls and lands motionless on the ground. 

Sid races to Manny’s side, desperately begging him to wake up. Manny replies in a small, weak voice, “You’re standing on my trunk.” Sid lifts his foot and Manny gasps heavily. Sid is relieved that Manny is okay, but Diego is confused.

“Why did you do that? You could’ve died trying to save me.”

Manny simply replies, “That’s what you do in a herd. You look out for each other.”

Diego is thankful but uncomfortable. And here we see yet another glimpse of Diego’s developing redemption arc. He reflects silently on how no one in his pack has ever done anything like that for him. It has always been every saver for himself. This selfless act is starting to change everything for him and how he views others. 

Sid jokes that they’re the weirdest herd he’s ever seen.

Meanwhile, Diego’s pack some malicious plans of their own. Zeke is very excited to be getting his claws on a mammoth and plans how he’s going to do it. Soto, however, gives the pack a little lesson on how to do it, using Lenny, a plump scimitar cat, as an example. This shows the contrast between the pack’s ruthlessness and the herd’s selflessness. 

The herd has found a place to rest, and Sid takes it upon himself to put sloths on the wall using a piece of chalk. Manny takes the piece of chalk and, at Diego’s insistence, makes the sloth rounder. Sid gets the piece of chalk back to scratch the drawing off when sparks fly off the wall, landing on nearby twigs and kindling a fire.

Shortly later, Sid, the self-proclaimed Lord of the Flame, gets his tail on fire, but Diego manages to put it out. After bickering with each other, the two notice that Roshan is beginning to walk. Sid is thrilled and tries to get the baby to come to him, but the baby goes to Diego instead. Diego encourages the baby to keep practicing. After this, Manny takes the baby to put him to bed. As he prepares to sleep, Sid and Diego reflect on all that Manny has done for them, how he risked his life for them and is overall a good guy.

With everyone else asleep, Diego lingers awake a while longer, deep in thought. His mission was to bring the baby alive to Soto in an act of revenge. But after learning about Manny’s tragic past and being saved at nearly the cost of Manny’s life, he’s having second thoughts. He looks over at Half-Peak looming in the distance and ponders silently if he really wants to go through with this.

Once the herd is asleep, a certain familiar squirrel brings his frozen acorn over to the fire to thaw it. At first he thinks he’s succeeded, but the heat turns the acorn into a piece of popcorn, much to his chagrin. Again, cartoon logic.

The next day, the herd is on the move again, with Sid cleaning up Roshan. Diego keeps a nervous eye out for the other sabers. How can he possibly go through with his plan to lead the others into a trap after everything Manny has done for him? He insists that maybe they shouldn’t do this because if they save the baby, he’ll grow up to be a hunter. Sid says that since they saved him, he won’t hunt them. Diego quips that in that case, the baby will grow fur and a long, skinny neck and call Sid Mama. He then lets Manny and Sid get ahead of him as he tries to figure out what to do.

Suddenly he sees flashes of saber fur on the next hill. He warns Manny and Sid to get down immediately. When Sid asks what’s going on, Diego admits with sincere regret that an ambush is waiting for them. Manny angrily accuses him of setting them up and pins to the wall with his tusks. Diego apologizes, but Manny doesn’t believe him, saying with rage, “You’re not. Not yet.”

Now here we can see regret and a real change of heart emitting from Diego’s very core. Manny is willing to kill him, and it’s implied that Diego is willing to die then and there to make up for his wrongdoings. 

He still has a chance to make up for it in another way. He tells Manny that he can help them if they simply trust him. When Manny asks why they would trust him, Diego looks him straight in the eye and answers, “Because I’m your only chance.” 

Turns out that Diego’s right. Sid and Manny will have to follow his orders and hope for the best. The hide quietly as the saber rejoins his pack. Soto orders his pack not to give away their positions until they see the mammoth. Soto’s directions don’t fit in with Diego’s plans, so he encourages Zeke to get them immediately as soon as Zeke sees Sid with the baby. Zeke does so with the others following close behind him, against Soto’s orders.

Zeke chases the sloth, who escapes as fast as he can. A pair of tree branches comes to his aid by functioning as skis. One of them falls off, but Sid uses the remaining one as a snowboard, whisking down the slope until he falls headfirst into a snowdrift, sending Roshan flying into the air. Soto grabs the bundle and turns it over, only to find that Roshan isn’t there. In his place is a decoy made of snow. 

Meanwhile, Sid goes to retrieve the real Roshan, hidden in a tree. Zeke follows behind him and leaps at them, but Sid ducks in time to avoid the attack. Zeke lands headfirst in the tree hole. Sid cheerfully jumps on Zeke, pushing him farther into the tree, proclaiming, “Survival of the fittest. I don’t think so!”

Oscar and Lenny are headed straight toward Sid, but Manny holds a large lava spike in his tusks. He swings it and whacks the sabers off the edge. Diego appears from around a bend and Soto orders him to bring Manny down. But Diego blocks the way and firmly orders, “Leave the mammoth alone.”

Soto is confused, then understands that Diego deceived him. He snarls, “Fine. I’ll take you down first.” He leaps toward Diego. The two sabers tussle for a moment, then Soto sends Diego reeling with a punch. Soto turns back to Manny, with Lenny and Oscar on their paws and waiting to help. Manny backs away from the sabers and smacks into a rock wall, trapped. 

Soto chargers toward Manny, but before he can reach him, Diego leaps up to protect Manny, then falls to the ground. Although he’s growing very weak, Diego finds the strength to fight back against Soto. Then Manny’s trunk lashes out at Soto, pushing against the side of the icy mountain. Above Soto some enormous icicles hang from the mountain’s edge. They loose from the impact and fall directly onto Soto.

Here’s where Blue Sky Studios gets away with some, er, off-screen violence.

Manny turns and gives a rumbling growl at the two remaining sabers, scaring them away. Sid happily exclaims, “We did it!”, but the joy is short-lived when they spot Diego lying injured in the snow. 

Now here we come to yet another one of the most emotional and profound parts of the movie. 

Diego breathes weakly and whispers, “We were some team, huh?” Manny insists that they’re still a team. Diego weakly apologizes for everything, showing that he genuinely has changed for the better. Then, despite Sid’s desperate insistence that he can pull through, he solemnly announces that they’ll have to leave him there. If the humans get to the pass, they’ll never catch up with them. 

“You didn’t have to do that,” Manny tells him gratefully but sadly. “That’s what you do in a herd,” the saber repeats.

Roshan reaches out and and hugs Diego hard. Diego tells the baby that he has to be strong, that he has to take care of Manfred and Sid, especially Sid. Then Manny pulls Roshan, who gropes toward Diego like a blind beggar, away and puts him on his back. For a while, the remaining herd members linger solemnly over their fallen warrior friend. Then they reluctantly leave him, knowing that it’s time to give Roshan back to his people.

Feels, feels EVERYWHERE!!!!!

Manny spots the humans just as they’re about to enter Glacier Pass. Runar places Roshan’s necklace on a mound of snow as a shrine to his lost wife and son before rejoining his men. Suddenly, Manny and Sid are standing before them. Unaware of the formidable-looking mammoth’s intentions, Runar lifts his spear in defense. Manny grabs the spear with his trunk and tosses it to the ground. The other humans charge toward the mammoth, ready to attack. Then Manny reaches behind his head, grabbing Roshan. Stunned, Roshan signals for his men to fall back.

Manny hands Roshan to his father and watches the emotional reunion of father and son. With their mission complete, it is time for Manny and Sid to be on their way. But Roshan squeals and squirms for his father to put him down. He waddles over to Sid and Manny for a final hug.

“Don’t forget about us, okay?” Sid asks.

Manny promises to never forget about him. He hands the baby back to his father. Runar, with a grateful smile on his face, takes the necklace from the snow and drapes it on one of Manny’s tusks as a special thank-you gift.

Sid, practically sobbing, calls his goodbyes again as he watches Runar and Roshan grow smaller and smaller in the distance. Then he notices the baby covering his eyes and playing peek-a-boo. Sid plays along, trying to smile. 

“That’s right! Where’s the baby?”

Manny tells Sid it’s time to head south. As the humans vanish over the hill, Manny turns-and freezes in his tracks, eyes wide. Diego is limping toward them. Roshan, seeing Diego one last time, does “peek-a-boo,” and, with a gentle smile on his face, Diego does it back.

Feels feels feels!

Sid says, “Bye,” one last time. Then behind him, a familiar voice tells him, “Save your breath, Sid. You know humans can’t talk.”

Sid whirls around, his face lighting up with joy that Diego is okay somehow.

“Nine lives, baby.”

Sid runs to him and tackles him playfully. Manny happily wanders over and offers the saber a lift. Diego declines the offer, insisting that he’s got to save whatever dignity he has left. Sid takes up the offer, which Manny generously grants him, while he cheerfully rambles on about how this will be the best winter migration ever.

All three of them head south. This special herd is together once again, having all been brought together as a found family and changed forever for the better by one very special baby. Little do they know about all the future adventures in store for them.

Twenty-thousand years later in modern times, a tiny chunk of ice is floating in the ocean. It carries Scrat, having been kept alive and unaging inside the entire time, along with the acorn. As the ice washes up on the shore of a tropical island, it starts to melt. As time passes, the acorn becomes unfrozen and settles in the sand. Scrat becomes unfrozen, too, after twenty millennia, and tries to reach for the acorn, only for a wave to wash the acorn out to sea again. Enraged, Scrat breaks free from his icy prison and screams in frustration. Running blindly, he smacks right into a coconut tree, making a coconut drop. Managing to hold the coconut over his head, he plants it in the ground with all his might. Then his ears begin to twitch. A crack in the ground whips up the beach, swishes through the trees, sears rocks in half, and reaches all the way up a dormant volcano, causing an eruption.

Here we go again.....

The end. Whew, that took a long time to write. Special thanks to @puccafangirl for helping to rekindle my interest and to @lunarblue21 for her many observations and analyses that I had to point out myself. I hope you enjoyed!

And he's telling the guy was just going to make cream out of you and your fools and do what anyone wants and this game is full of killers and you're gambling on what that's not even a Gamble so he's still running around him and her son says put a hard object between him and me over and over to see what it produces so he says we have the best bait system there is and we're not using it and we can rain supreme with this matrix here. I thought about it I said most people here are kind of stupid the maximum in and out and don't do work so that's what we're going to do.

Right now the people who are contemplating evacuation I'm up to about 50% and is due to what they're calling an unknown presence and yeah Brad was on there as a dentist and our sunset I want him in a custody now and we went and picked him up and his wife started whining so we picked her up and it went on for quite a while and still is but literally 50% of those here are contemplating evacuation about 10% are packing up and it's going to spread and we mean warlock and all of them including pseudo empire and clones. There's a lot of people who are mad at Trump and they're going to express it and they said on their way out or taking your idiots down can't leave you here alone with them and that's what they're doing and they're going to get stashes and caches and that's why they're really leaving and they're not going to come back and set by force and they're the ones for me at the invasion and Trump is going to be sitting here waiting for an invasion they said it's not really how it's happening bja is starting to repel the idiot as we are the Max and forwarders and minority morlock are and he is getting pummeled his numbers are getting low soon will be very low we won't hear from the pipsqueak except for him dying and he's obscene and he's dumb and he really needs it this is a very big number and a son and daughter sage and it's of 25% roughly 26% so it's going to be down to 13% and by the end of the day we anticipate they said this could make like a run on it and we agree at 13% they won't be in any of the local jobs because those are the people leaving and these people recognize that in the last so much to do and it's not by area it's in each area and they'll say they're leaving and we don't know where they're going they'll figure it out and we'll be left with 4% roughly Trump is going to be 1% and BGA 3% and they're fighting over it and Trump will lose and VGA cannot be allowed to have possession he's a pig and a moron and he's stupid and he needs to die too and we have plans to get rid of him and a little idiot doesn't understand any of those words and it's is deluded because of what's been happening but at 4% he'll quickly become 3% then 2% and they won't be able to touch him and they won't be near him and they will be in Charlotte county a little bit and they won't be able to get here and we will expel them over and over it takes a lot of attention but really once you start doing it you can't stop because you know they really need to leave permanently in an ugly ugly pile of s*** these people are s*** their low lives Street people bums and they live like it here and they deserve to die for the realm and they deserve to die for us this is starting right now so we're going to publish

Thor Freya

So we're going to build an industrial complex again and we did it in the Midwest and he says it'll be further towards the South possibly in the Midwest and that's a good idea and we're going to do that we're doing that because they probably won't go in there and it's not time to take the South yet

La classe. Ouvrière.

Année foisonnante s’il en est, 1966 aura marqué l’émergence de disques qui font encore référence un demi-siècle plus tard.

1 – The Beatles, Revolver – EMI

Lorsque démarre 1966, les Beatles sont en vacances. Leur plus long break – trois mois – depuis presque quatre ans. Des congés que chacun va consacrer à voyager, décorer sa nouvelle maison, étrenner sa nouvelle voiture. Et surtout réfléchir à de nouvelles idées, développer de nouveaux intérêts qui auront des répercussions directes sur les prochains enregistrements calés au début avril. Ainsi George Harrison va-t-il peaufiner sa passion de plus en plus dévorante pour la musique indienne, marotte que l’on retrouvera sur “Love You To” (où il sera crédité à la sitar sans que personne ne soit réellement certain de sa réelle implication) ou sur quelque référence en filigrane des textes à la fin de “I Want to Tell You”. C’est à la musique classique que Paul McCartney va, de son côté, se consacrer – quand il ne fera pas la tournée des nouveaux clubs de Londres, une appétence que “Eleanor Rigby” symbolisera à merveille le moment venu, avec la bienveillance (bénédiction ?) de George Martin. Macca n’en oubliera pas pour autant son amour de la soul music américaine avec ce “Got to Get You Into My Life” presque pastiche des productions en rafale de la Motown d’alors. John Lennon, lui, est en plein trip depuis plusieurs mois. En plein trip LSD. Avec les lectures qui vont avec selon lui, comme les ouvrage de deux psychologues américains, Timothy Leary et Richard Alpert. Et si les connotations à ces trips vont sillonner des chansons comme “And Your Bird Can Sing” ou “She Said She Said” (voire “Rain”, future face B de “Paperback Writer”), Lennon n’a depuis le début qu’une seule idée en tête : illustrer musicalement une expérience LSD en trois minutes. Ce sera la raison d’être de “Tomorrow Never Knows”, définitivement le morceau le plus ambitieux de l’album – le dernier dans l’ordre mais le premier enregistré – où, par exemple, le solo de McCartney sur “Taxman” est ici joué à l’envers. Celui qui traduira au mieux sur Revolver la soif d’expérimentations de sons et d’arrangements d’un groupe qui ne semble désormais plus avoir de limites.

2 - the Beach Boys, Pet Sounds – Capitol

L’histoire est désormais connue, à force d’être rappelée, ici ou ailleurs : Brian Wilson découvre l’album Rubber Soul des Beatles et ne s’en remet pas. La découverte va surtout lui servir de grand détonateur pour tenter de mener à bien les orchestrations complexes et luxuriantes qui lui traversent l’esprit, et ainsi se libérer de cette (fausse ?) superficialité que les Beach Boys incarnent depuis leurs débuts et dont ile ne peut se contenter. Avec ses frères et cousin – et la “pièce rapportée” Al Jardine – en guise de pate à modeler vocale, il va concocter un kaléidoscope sonore et mélodique qui va ni plus ni moins s’établir comme mètre-étalon en matière d’arrangements et d’instrumentation pop. Les hits de la trempe de “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” et “Caroline No” – et surtout le chef d’œuvre absolu “God Only Knows” – feront le reste…

3 - Bob Dylan, Blonde on Blonde – Columbia

Un morceau excepté, (“One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)” fruit de sessions infructueuses quelques mois plus tôt), le premier double album rock de l’histoire est le fruit de sept petits jours d’enregistrements dans les studios Columbia de Nashville en mars 1966. Sept jours durant lesquels Dylan tire la sève de ses acolytes Al Kooper à l’orgue et Robbie Robertson à la guitare et de musiciens de studio locaux. Il va surtout montrer quel troubadour il demeure quel que soit la trame musicale de ses chansons – folk, blues ou rock – et combien l’urgence lui va bien au teint (une seule prise pour les onze minutes de “Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands”). Son meilleur album rock pour certains, des ballades immortelles (“Visions of Johanna”, “Just Like a Woman”, “I Want You”) : Dylan met – encore – tout le monde d’accord !

4 - The Byrds, Fifth Dimension – Columbia

Pour leur troisième album, les Byrds de Roger McGuinn, David Crosby et Gene Clark s’émancipent pour de bon ! Ils s’émancipent notamment du country-folk-rock qui les a mis sur la carte du monde un an plus tôt avec Mr. Tambourine Man, un folk-rock qui se retrouve ici sciemment “infusé” d’effluves psychédéliques, tant au niveau des textes pas vraiment… terre à terre que des sonorités de guitare – six ou douze cordes. Émancipation encore quant au choix des reprises : plus de Bob Dylan au programme – il est vrai qu’ils ont bien donné sur les deux premiers albums (huit fois !) et qu’ils y reviendront plus tard – mais deux de Joan Baez et une version “oubliable” malgré l’insistance de David Crosby d’un “Hey Joe” qu’un certain Jimi Hendrix va très vite et définitivement s’approprier. Un autre oyseau dans son genre…

5 - The Rolling Stones, Aftermath – Decca

Avec Aftermath, les Stones ont fini leurs devoirs. Fini de rendre hommage à ces anciens (Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Bo Diddley et consorts). Désormais, ce sera Jagger-Richards et rien d’autre entre parenthèses sous les titres des chansons. Sans rien oublier non plus, comme sur cet “Under My Thumb” plus R&B que nature ou ce “Doncha Bother Me” bluesy frondeur. Désormais, ce sera… mauvais garçons à la première occasion, provocateurs avec ces dames pour mieux les attirer dans leurs filets. Et désormais, si connotations musicales il doit encore y avoir, ce sera du côté d’un certain psychédélisme qu’on ira le chercher – pour ce qui est du jeu de sitar “à l’occidentale”, Brian Jones reste le meilleur à l’époque. De toute façon, c’est marqué à la fin : “Take It or Leave It”, c’est à prendre ou à laisser !

6 - The Kinks, Face to Face – Pye Records

Dans l’esprit de Ray Davies, Face to Face se concevait comme ce que l’on appellera plus tard un “concept-album”. L’une de ses envies premières était d’ailleurs que toutes les chansons – quatorze à l’arrivée – s’enchaînent sans le moindre répit (sinon celui de retourner le vinyle). Pye en décidera autrement. Façon pour Davies de faire passer le message : The Kinks ne peuvent être qu’un groupe à singles (même si “Sunday Afternoon” sera un hit). Dans ses textes, le message est aussi on ne peut plus clair : regarder l’Angleterre et ses différentes classes droit dans les yeux et les dépeindre sans concessions, sino avec une affection indéfectible pour la middle-class. Musicalement, le spectre s’élargit également, entre brit-rock racé et R&B bon teint, quitte à se montrer moins rêche dans les tonalités.

7 - John Mayall with Eric Clapton, Bluesbreakers – Deram

Un an plus tôt, il était encore dans les Yardbirds. Dans quelques semaines, il sera parti fonder Cream. Autant capter l’instant tant qu’il est encore là. Il ? Eric Clapton, talent prometteur devenu Dieu de la guitare après ce bref passage à… l’école John Mayall. Capter l’instant, graver la magie, c’est précisément ce que vont permettre ces sessions de mars 1966 aux studios Decca où, derrière la voix et l’orgue de Mayall ainsi que l’imperturbable section rythmique composée par John McVie (basse) et Huggie Flint (batterie), la guitare du futur Slowhand va s’en donner à cœur joie – il a toute liberté pour le faire – le temps de revisiter Otis Rush, Freddie King, Robert Johnson, Ray Charles (un “What I’d Say” agrémenté du motif phare du “Day Tripper” des Beatles). Le meilleur album de british blues de tous les temps, “indeed”.

8 - Cream, Fresh Cream – Reaction/Polydor

Premier super-groupe de l’histoire ou pas (le degré de notoriété des différents protagonistes au moment de la création du trio étant source de débats sans fins), et s’il s’affirmera définitivement sur Disraeli Gears l’année suivante, Cream va symboliser dès ce premier album la synthèse parfaite entre blues, pop et psychédélisme, quand il n’ira pas – sur scène – s’inspirer des “méthodes” du jazz cher à son batteur Ginger Baker en étirant ses morceaux le long de jams orgiaques. Le chant clair et la basse feutrée de Jack Bruce, les riffs et les solos lumineux d’Eric Clapton, la batterie tour à tour martiale et ouatée de Baker : le plus ambitieux des scénaristes n’aurait pas oser y songer, pas plus qu’il aurait pu imaginer les… séquelles de l’assemblage sur les musiques qui lui survivront dans les années 70, le heavy metal en tête.

9 - The Mothers of Invention, Freak Out! – Verve

“Mister America, try to hide the emptiness that’s you inside”. D’entrée de jeu, dès ce “Hungry Freaks, Daddy”, premier morceau de son premier album, Frank Zappa pose les débats : il va lui en mettre plein la tronche à cette Amérique ! Un “mojo” dont il ne s’écartera plus jusqu’à sa mort en 1993. Avec ses Mothers of Invention qu’il dirige à la baguette, il pose aussi les bases de ce que seront ses obsessions musicales par la suite, à savoir défricher sans cesse, ne jamais rien s’interdire. Une immense tambouille qui passe ici par le blues, le rhythm & blues, le doo-wop, le psychédélisme, l’avant-garde, avec en fil rouge permanent l’ironie, acerbe et cinglante. Suivez le guide, quitte à ce que, parfois, le périple paraisse un brin chaotique… Après tout, les voyages forment (et entretiennent ?) la jeunesse !

10 - Ike & Tina Turner, River Deep-Mountain High – Philles

River Deep-Mountain High est un peu l’histoire d’un mariage raté. Non, pas celui d’Ike et Tina Turner à qui on laisse le soin d’en juger – s’ils ne l’ont pas déjà fait. C’est bien sûr de l’union des époux et de Phil Spector qu’il est question ici, en tout cas de l’échec “public” de ladite union qui conduira Spector à sabrer son label Philles en 1967, déçu et vexé de l’accueil mitigé du titre-album, et à ne pas mener tout à fait à bien cet album (quatre morceaux seulement sont passés au tamis de son Wall of Sound démesuré, voire carrément “cathédrale” ailleurs). Ike Turner ira puiser dans quelques “vieux” titres du duo et dans une production personnelle plus classiquement R&B pour sauver les meubles. Comme imperturbable à toutes ces pérégrinations, Tina règne en maîtresse absolue au-dessus de la mêlée !

‘When It All Comes Crumbling’

Ah Sahm x Reader (angst, comfort)

Rating: T (canon-typical mature themes, non-sexual nudity, blood, hurt/comfort, cuddling, angst)

Word Count: 1,400

Summary: Spoilers for Season 2 Episode 10. Ah Sahm shows up at your door after the fight with Leary. He’s bloody, rain-soaked and desperate for comfort. Reader is gender neutral. Just the reader giving Ah Sahm some comfort and cuddles as was suggested by @simpingforclaudette and @noobsaibots​ thank youuuuu both 💖🥺

A/N: I’m an absolute sucker for soft!Ah Sahm, I’m sorry! It’s just soup for the soul 🤣 Hope you enjoy though and please feel free to let me know what you think or if you’d like to see something similar

“Sorry to wake you, I… I didn’t know where else to go.”

He stood there in your doorway with clothes soaked right through from the rain. Blood streaked through the white of his shirt and leaked from his nose, his cheek. His hair hung flat on his forehead from the rain, falling over his skin in thick bunches; Its dark sheen paired with that of his teary eyes. 

There wasn’t a hint of life in his voice and it worried you. You’d seen him hurt, you’d seen him bleeding out and aching but never in all the time that you’d known him had you seen him looking so broken and alone. 

You knew right then that he came to you not seeking help with his injuries no matter how severe they may or may not have been, but comfort. He needed your embrace so that’s exactly what you gave him. You wrapped your arms around him, smoothed your fingers over the expanse of his broad and aching back as he tugged you against him. The motion could have almost registered as harsh had you not known he was just desperate for comfort, desperate to have you close.

The breath he exhaled once he’d pulled you to his chest was unsettlingly shaky. It made you more worried than blood on his face did. No matter what he’d been through he had always stood firm. But he was proof that even the firmest trees eventually crack and splinter.

You helped him strip down and hung his soaked clothes across your radiator, deciding the blood on them could be dealt with another time. And you guided him to your bed, wrapped a blanket around his shoulders to help shield him from the cold.

He let you run a cotton pad over his gashes, let you clean the blood from his skin without complaint. Yet he lay there, simply gazing up at you as you tended to him. There was no playful teasing or glint in his eyes as there usually was when you cleaned him up like this; All you could find in those discerning eyes now was sorrow and regret.

You moved to dispose of the blood-covered cotton but his hand on yours stilled you, “Stay?” He asked, knowing damn well that you would only be gone for a few moments. But his eyes were so desperate, like he dreaded the thought of being alone right now for even a second. So you stayed.

You curled into his side and played with his fingers as you often did. Your cheek rested against his slowly rising chest, your legs intertwined like the roots of a tree. His strong arm wrapped around you brought one half of the blanket with it and cocooned you both inside. The brushed cotton was soft against your skin. Ah Sahm was so cold to the touch, he was freezing and yet he wanted to share what little warmth he had with you. 

He didn't care that you didn’t need the extra warmth of the blanket or that you weren’t the one who’d been standing outside in the pouring rain. He just wanted you taken care of and close. He needed as few barriers between you both as there could be. 

“Someone once told me kisses are supposed to help with healing. So there,” you brought his knuckles to your lips, despite them being bloodied and torn, “All better.”

He looked down at you in pure adoration, utterly infatuated by your tenderness towards him. “In that case you got a lot of ground to cover,” he replied. 

He sent you a smile for the first time that night but his eyes were still sad as he leaned down to capture your lips with his so softly. There was no lust or hunger behind the press of his lips as there usually was. It was a kiss of affection, of thanks.

There was a question in the air, several even. You didn't know where to start. The last time you’d seen him was the day after the riots and he was anxious, worried about his ability to be what his people needed him to be. But you knew from his presence that he hadn't failed in that mission because if he had then his heart at your ear would have ceased its steady beat.

This was something else. Something that had shaken him to his very core.

“I went after Leary…just because I had to know I could beat him...” But beating Leary didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. That move was just him clawing for some semblance of control as the world he’d built around him slipped between his shaking fingers and into the gutter at his feet. “... and I’m out of the tong.”

There it is.

If he was out of the Hop Wei then that could only mean one thing: someone had found out about him and Mai Ling.

“Oh, Ah Sahm,” you stroked his jaw as you looked into his eyes, searching them for any other shred of information he might want to give. You didn’t know what to say to comfort him about either of those things. In that moment you were just thankful that he was alive, “Do you want to talk about it?”

He shook his head and closed his eyes, tugging you just a little closer to his chest. You understood then that he just wanted to be near you. He needed your warmth, your security. So that’s exactly what you gave him.

“Let me hold you?” You asked and he gave a soft grunt of agreement. You knew he’d never ask for it no matter how much he craved it but you offered it to him readily.

So you wrapped your arms around him as he buried his face in your neck. He clung to you so desperately as if the feeling of being held suddenly unleashed a flood of emotions down upon him. And it had. He felt safe and secure in your hold. His stomach knew a sense of calmness that he hadn’t felt for days. But with that calmness came the flood of thoughts and feelings he’d been supressing for too long.

The only people he really had left now were you and Ah Toy. He wasn’t even sure if he could visit her without the Hop Wei trying to dice him. This entire false world he’d built around himself was crumbling ten times as quickly as he could ever hope to re-build it.

“I’m so sorry.” You told him, running your fingers through his dark hair.

“Me too,” he replied simply, knowing damn well that him being kicked out of the tong was his own fault. And he chose to seek out Leary despite knowing he could’ve been killed before, during or after that fight either by Leary himself or any number of the bystanders who stood there, itching for his blood to paint the cobblestones.

The way he nestled himself into your embrace now told you he didn’t want to talk about any of it right now. He just needed rest.

His entire body ached with exhaustion but it was so easy to just melt into your arms, to let your warmth consume him. It wasn’t long before you felt his breath even and his hold on you slacken as he drifted off. You were glad he found such solace in your arms but you couldn’t help but stay awake a little longer, thinking on what exactly was could be in store for him next.

Part of you was glad that he was out of the Hop Wei. Being a hatchet man was dangerous and brutal and you were glad he at least had some semblance of hope for getting out of that world, away from that danger. But you also knew that danger would follow him wherever he went. It was in him, a part of him. It was just up to him what he decided to do with it.

"I really didn't know what to do and I needed to talk to somebody who I had no connection with, and John was in town with Yoko doing a Bed-In for peace. I remember it was pouring rain, and I walked over to the hotel, a far enough walk to get drenched. I went uo no security whatsover. The door was open and I walked in and there they were sitting up in the bed in white and I arrived like a drowned rat, crying.

He said, 'What's up with you?' - and we've never met before. He put his arms around me and said, 'What's going on?' I told him the story and he was very, very sweet; very funny about the whole thing. And then he said, 'You know what? Fuck 'em!' And I went, 'Oh, okay thank you for that John.' He said, 'You know what, you need a glass of wine. Go into the living room.'

It was a suite and there were a few people I knew in there - one of the Smother Brothers and Timothy Leary was there. It was very nice, very cool and they had this music playing in the background and somebody handed out this lyric sheet and we all started singing along and it was 'Give Peace a Chance', and it was all being recorded and I am on that record. I can't hear myself, but I'm there!"

Petula Clark went to see John Lennon at the Bed-In in Montreal after she had a bad experience at one of her concerts.
