Paradox was fr like "get a room already" pfft

[elexuscal]

Network Effect, but it happens immediately on the tail end of Exit Strategy

this is one of the funniest fandom AUs out there, imo. (also one of the saddest! but also like. in a fun way)

Mensah, Pin-Lee, Gurathin, and Ratthi are just SO glad to be home soon

they're also really glad that SecUnit seems to have regained the ability to talk

even if like, only 40% of what it says seems to logically follow whatever conversation they were having

like that sounds like a dig but they seriously have spent the last 2 weeks thinking its brain might have been totally fried

so they get in a shuttle to go back to the station when

mysterious ship appears out of nowhere?

YOINKS them

murderbot is like 'hey that's my friend wtf ART'

"what do you mean," its humans ask

it Does Not Clarify

maybe just says like a random stream of code, aloud. completely impossible to parse

i'd like to remind everyone that Dr. Ayda Mensah has some Severe Kidnapping Trauma that has not managed to start unpacking at all at this point. and now she's been kidnapped. again.

at least her friends are along for the ride this time???

(she feels awful for being this relieved)

ship is totally empty when they get on board

except for creepy grey people

SecUnit started being able to walk around its MedBay like 47 hours ago

it was not pretty. it fell on its face like. 3 separate times.

now it has to kill a bunch of targets

it still manages it but not with anywhere NEAR its usual level of grace

this just makes it more angry

it does not help that it keeps forgetting where it's in its own timeline

keeps pinging ART. keeps being surprised when it doesn't answer. all over again.

the humans are the ones doing the majority of the Smart Detective Work and making theories on What's Happening Here and interrogating Ras and Eletra

Ras and Eletra who, by the way, are like 'hey your SecUnit is seriously glitching you should probably put it down.'

'no'

'okay we can at least turn it off and shove it in one of the mortuary tubes-'

"NO"

"yeesh okay we're just giving a suggestion" [Eletra and Ras exchange a 'get a load of these crazy freeholders' look behind their backs]

MB is currently have a conversation, aloud, to a crumpled drone

good news: being in a familiar environment is helping MB's memory retrieval

bad news: those memories are letting MB know something Is Very Very wrong

1-3 emotional breakdowns happen during this point. One of them is definitely Murderbot's

it's even worse than in canon Network Effect

"My friend is DEAD"

they haven't found ANY dead bodies at this point, though, so...

PresAux starts realising maybe the dead friend is... an AI?

Ras's brain gets fried around this point. Then Ratthi, as the closest thing the team has to a doctor, has to cut Eletra's chip out of her neck. so he probably gets one of those emotional breakdowns.

'wtf how did we get out of a wormhole so fast??'

In this time-line, Murderbot is in no state to fight AND do complex coding attacks at the same time

(it's really in no state to be doing even one of these by the way but oh well)

that mean Pin-Lee and Gurathin are absolutely doing the majority of fighting off TargetControlSys

and then MB gets that delayed datapackage from ART

"For Eden? what the fuck does that mean?"

is it a religious message? a code?

"hey isn't there a character named that in Sanctuary Moon?" asks Ratthi

MB might be in a pitched firefight at the time but that is no reason for it to not ramble about its blorbos and how cool Eden is

Mensah starts getting an idea

They find ART's secret coding bundle

they try putting in 'Eden'. doesn't work.

okay that was too obvious. try 'Sanctuary Moon'.

nope

'SecUnit'? no

'Murderbot'? long shot but... no

since they have a copy of MB's purchase contract, they have its feed address documented. it's a real long shot, but they are desperate at this point. they try it

Re-Load in Progress. Please stand-bye.

i honestly have NO idea what MB says when ART comes online this time

maybe something super sweet and sappy. or maybe it's even less coherent than in canon

either way, the humans are like 'Holy Shit' upon realising who/what Murderbot's friend ART really is

Empyrean’s Advent: Day 6

Prompt: “Should I pick up some tissues on the way home?”

Pairing: Sick Lizzie Olsen x Reader

Wordcount: 680

You loved driving. It was one of the many things that brought you comfort, something about how the world flew by as you processed any thoughts whilst listening to music at any desirable volume brought you such enjoyment.

Especially when you were driving back home to see Lizzie, that was possibly one of your all time favourite feelings, you just couldn’t get enough of the warm excitement and anticipation it brought you.

You loved your job, however being an actor, it often meant working at less then desirable times of the year and filming the week leading up to Christmas was certainly less then ideal. Luckily you for you would be home the day of Christmas Eve, you’d even sweet talked you’ve director into letting you leave early that morning.So as you drove home at 8AM, the last thing you expected was a phone call from Lizzie.

“Goodmorning my love.” You pressed the small button on your steering wheel to answer and spoke in your usual cheery tone, “How’d you sleep baby?”

What came next was a symphony of sniffles and afew muffled sobs, “Hi baby.” Through the speakers cane the almost unrecognisable voice of your wife, her voice distorted by thick blatant congestion.

“Jesus Lizzie!” You exclaimed, the quality of her voice began to worry you, “Are you okay? You sound terrible.”

You heard the sound of Lizzie trying desperately to muffle of several sneezes on the other end of the line before she spoke, her voice was weaker this time, “How long till you get home?”

Looking down, you glanced at your GPS to check, “Just a couple of hours baby, I’ll be there soon.” You replied, trying your best to sound assuring but the following sound of wet sniffling only caused you to worry more, “Whats wrong sweetie?”

The following sounds of sobs made your heart break into pieces and you knew Lizzie had tears flowing down her cheeks, “Im really sick Y/N and everythings all woozy.” She began , the pace of her breathing rapidly increasing, “And tomorrows Christmas which means that if Im sick everythings going to be ruined and you’ve been working all week so you need to relax and you wont be able to do that and- and-“

“No.” You cut her off from her feverish rambles, the stern tone of your voice shocking her, “Baby, I need you to take some big deep breaths for me okay?”

You took big exaggerated inhales and exhales as you waited for Lizzie to do the same and eventually her cries grew quieter and quieter, “Good job sweetie, now listen here okay? Theres some NyQuil in the bathroom cupboard I think, can you get it for me sweetie?”

You sighed, she really did sound awful. Lizzie hardly got sick but when she did, it usually hit her pretty hard and you hated the fact that you weren’t there to be able to hold and comfort her, and judging by the sound of her voice alone it was obvious she’d been feeling ill long since before this morning.

The sound of shuffling echoed down the phone as you waited patiently, “I have it.” She eventually spoke before breaking off into a cough.

“Okay good, can you take some for me? I’ll be home as soon as I can, the medicine is gonna help you fall back asleep okay?

Lizzie sniffled, she set the phone down on the counter to pour herself a doze of the liquid. “I took it.” She answered a moment later, chasing the medicine down with some water.

“Good girl, now go and yourself back into bed, you’re in no condition to be up. I’ll be there for when you wake up.” You replied before asking, “Should I pick up some tissues on the way home too?”

Your wife mumbled something inaudible in response and you took it for meaning ‘yes’, you listened closely hearing the sounds of her climbing back into bed.

“You gonna be okay?”

“I’ll be okay, you’ll be here when I wake up?”

“Yes baby, I’ll be waiting for you when you wake up.”

I'm curious, how do you think the relationship between Taylor and Karlie is now? Cause I think it's pretty apparent they're not dating anymore, but what do you think?

I really truly don’t know—I personally have a few different theories (explaining them in detail is a much much longer ordeal) that I’m working through at the moment but my thoughts on their current relationship status actually varies on a near daily basis just because of how little we know. I base a lot of my understanding on a combination of lyrics and patterns and behaviors, but the delay between when Taylor writes a song and when we hear it is quite long, and pr is not reflective of the truth a lot of the time, but I think it’s not impossible that rep and Lover are about Karlie, and for Kaylor to not be together at this very moment, as much as I’d like them to be.

I absolutely believe that they were together for several years and at a minimum are still very close friends. There’s a lot of things about Taylor’s relationship with Joe that I find v suspect and lots of things about Karlie’s relationship with Josh that I also find v suspect. And the fact that the girls were soooo close and now do not directly interact online is also sus to me—I think that that at a minimum indicates that whatever sort of relationship they have now is private.

I think that I would consider Taylor and Karlie to be soulmates in that they’ve both indelibly marked each other and have a forever love between them, but I don’t know if that means they’ll always be together. It’s like that whole right person, wrong time thing maybe? Or “it’s always been you, it’ll always be you. “

All of that was a non-answer lol but I guess I’d say that I think they still love each other. Other circumstances have prevented them from being able to enjoy the fullest extent of their relationship without undue public scrutiny so whether they are just friends now, or dating, or engaged, or married, they still choose to not be public about it. I miss seeing them together because I think they brought out the best in each other and there is a vibrancy between them that neither has with anyone else. I personally am okay if they aren’t romantically involved and find happiness in other relationships, but firmly stand behind the belief that they have something special that goes beyond just friendship.

[sappy-secrets]

Anybody else have a moment of sudden realization as to what your friends probably think of you?

Like I was just thinking through a thing and I realize that my friends probably think I’m just a really good kid and always have been. I’m quiet and tend to just listen, I’m sort of a background person, I roll with whatever anyone else wants to do and don’t really like being the one to make decisions or being brought to the front (I have no idea how I’m going to deal with my birthday, since it’s the first year I’ll be able to celebrate with both of them), and I’ll generally refuse things out of fear and then make a stupid reason why.

Example: I was out with hem one time and we were walking and there was a bunch of really nice, really big shells on a little sandy patch of the river and I pointed them out to my friends and one asked if I wanted one and I refused because I was afraid of getting in trouble if we got caught (which was pretty unlikely), and then gave the excuse that I didnt want to get cursed or something by [name of person that was associated with place].

TL;DR I have anxiety and wonder what my two bffs think of me sometimes.

Ramblings: Players Return, Alex Galchenyuk, and Using Arbitrage – September 6

  Rookie camps start this week, training camp next week, and before we know it the season will finally be here. Fantasy hockey preparations should be underway and what better way to get a leg up on your league mates than grabbing your copy of the 2018-19 Dobber Hockey fantasy guide! Projections, line combinations, articles, draft lists, and more. Just head to the Dobber Shop!

*

Players are starting to roll into their respective homes of employ – those who weren’t there already at least – which means there are a lot of media days, interviews, quotes, etc.

Here’s what I do when this time of year rolls around: I ignore almost all of it. Unless a coach is discussing specific tactics or deployments, for fantasy hockey purposes, it’s all filler. There’s nothing, absolutely nothing, to be gleaned from players saying they’re In The Best Shape Of Their Lives, are Glad To Have Had A Full Summer To Train, are Hungry To Prove People Wrong, or Want To Improve On A Down Year. This is all very obvious and does not pertain to us for any reason. It would only be news if a player said he’s 40 pounds overweight and doesn’t really care if his team wins or loses.

There’s also this fun little project on Twitter for quotes about hockey players In The Best Shape Of Their Lives:

  I confirm #BestShapeProject is BACK for 2018! To submit a player for the project, just @ me and they'll be added to the spreadsheet https://t.co/xOwp22Nf26

— Sapp (K. Gretzky for EDM GM) Macintosh (@MacSapintosh) August 22, 2018

  If there’s something important to pass along, like Bruce Cassidy toying around with the idea of moving David Pastrnak to the second line or the health of a player, then we’ll pass it along. Other than that, it’s just noise.

*

One interesting article came out Wednesday, this from Andrew Berkshire, who write for Vice and Sportsnet. It discusses the Canadiens defensively over the last few years, and Alex Galchenyuk more specifically.

I won’t ruin it but it does give me hope for Galchenyuk to really flourish in Arizona. Playing next to Clayton Keller will help.

*

Last Ramblings I mentioned the concept of arbitrage. In fantasy sports, it’s simply looking for one player who could perform similarly to another player, but is available at a lower ADP. Cameron Metz had an article about this a couple weeks ago with regards to defencemen and it’s something I wrote about a couple years ago in drafting Brendan Gallagher over Corey Perry. (I was a year early on that one.)

My projections are nearly finished and should be ready for my Tuesday Ramblings next week but I wanted to go over some arbitrage opportunities today. My projections will change a little bit between now and Tuesday but probably not to such a degree where it will greatly alter clear arbitrage opportunities.

For today, these will be in line with standard Yahoo scoring, sans plus/minus. That means goals, assists, PPPs, hits, and shots on goal. All players are projected to play 82 games in 2018-19 and we are using Corsica’s expected goals model.

  Forwards

Player to Draft: Mikael Granlund

Current Projection: 20.6 goals, 48.4 assists, 18.5 PPPs, 181.4 shots, 52.4 hits

  Player to Avoid: Anze Kopitar

Current Projections: 19 goals, 54.4 assists, 21.1 PPPs, 177.3 shots, 62.8 hits

  These projections aren’t exact, which is usually the point of these arbitrage decisions. The goals and shots are a small edge for Granlund, the assists and hits are bigger edge for Kopitar, and the PPPs are basically within one hot week of each other.

If the small differences are a concern, keep in mind that Granlund has multi-position eligibility (C/RW) whereas Kopitar is locked in as a centre. That’s another checkmark in Granlund’s favour.

The one area that bothers me here is the hit totals for each player. The data behind these projections goes back three years. Three years ago, Granlund had 86 hits; in 2017-18 that fell to 47. From 2015-2017, Kopitar posted back-to-back seasons with 78 hits; in 2017-18 that fell to 50. As I showed back in May, hit rates have gone down a lot of late: over 14 percent from the top hitters in the league from since 2014-15 and a little over 10 percent since 2015-16. That the totals of Granlund and Kopitar have gone down over the last couple years is not a surprise. It just makes me less confident in the projection because hit totals stabilized from 2016-17 to 2017-18 after those significant drops. Does that stabilization continue or was it just a one-year blip? We just don’t know.

Here is where ADP starts to factor in, however. On Yahoo!, Kopitar is ranked as a mid-third round pick. At NHL.com, they have him ranked at the 2/3 turn of a 12-team league. In all likelihood, if you want to draft the Los Angeles captain, you’ll have to use your third rounder at the least.

Granlund, meanwhile, is ranked 74th on Yahoo!, or an early 7th-round pick. At NHL.com, he’s ranked at the 7/8 turn. If you want Granlund on your team, you’ll have to expend no higher than your sixth-round pick, more likely your seventh.

This is the point where I’ll note that I’m significantly lower on Kopitar’s production in 2018-19 than most. Many spots I’ve seen have Kopitar for at least 80 points. (If I’m not mistaken, Steve Laidlaw has him under 80 as well, so, we’re in this together, Laidlaw.) But here’s the thing: Kopitar shot 17.5 percent last year, a career high. His three-year average was 11.5 percent, averaging 18 goals a season. If you knock off, say, 16 goals from his total last year, that drops his points down to 76, not far off from where my projection has him.

What’s the effect of Ilya Kovalchuk? There’s not much certainty there but even at his advanced age he should be better than Alex Iafallo.

My bet here is that even with Kovalchuk in town, Kopitar won’t repeat anywhere close to his shooting percentage. Also, Kopitar played over 22 minutes a game last year as the team tried to squeak into the playoffs with Jeff Carter injured most of the year. You could see up to 100 minutes at even strength disappear. The drop in ice time alone would knock off 3-4 points. Factor in the shooting percentage regression, and a 75-point season from Kopitar instead of an 85-point campaign is easy to envision.

  Player to Draft: Jake DeBrusk

Current Projection: 16.8 goals, 31.6 assists, 12.3 PPPs, 167.5 shots, 82 hits

  Player to Avoid: Gabriel Landeskog

Current Projection: 18.5 goals, 31.1 assists, 12.4 PPPs, 176.8 shots, 156.4 hits

  I’m going to take some heat for this one and that’s fine. Believe me, I know that Landeskog is a huge hits contributor and if he can replicate close to last year, he could be a top-50 player. That would make his current Yahoo! ranking of 89th as a steal.

I’m banking that he won’t repeat close to that.

Here’s something to keep in mind: the 2017-18 season saw everything go right for Colorado. It was a season where Nathan MacKinnon established himself as an MVP-calibre player; Mikko Rantanen silenced his doubters (present company included); they led the league in PP opportunities one year after finishing 19th in this regard; they were top-3 in the league in team five-on-five save percentage, leading to the 10th-fewest goals against per minute despite allowing the fifth-most shots per minute. Despite all this, Landeskog just barely cracked the 60-point plateau (62) and couldn’t manage 20 PPPs (17). Though I’m not considering plus/minus in these Ramblings, he finished at plus-16.

What happens to Landeskog’s production if everything doesn’t go right? What if the team loses 30 PP opportunities off their league-best totals? What if Landeskog doesn’t shoot a career-high 13.7 percent again? What if either MacKinnon or Rantanen misses 15 games? What if the team save percentage is league-average instead of among the league’s best?

What I’m trying to say is this: if everything doesn’t break right again for the Avs, what happens to Landeskog’s 62 points?

Banking on things like career-high shooting percentages, elite team save percentages, and league-high PP opportunities all to repeat is a dangerous game to play.

Now, even if Landeskog were to ‘bust’, it’s not as if it’ll be a second- or third-round pick like Kopitar. Busting out on a seventh- or eighth-round pick isn’t a season-killer. But it’s easy to envision a year where there’s a little pullback across the board for Landeskog and his draft value dies a death by a thousand cuts.

On the flipside, it’s no secret to anyone who reads my work that I’m high on DeBrusk and I think my projections are a little on the conservative side. We’ve seen the quotes about the possibility of David Pastrnak being moved to the second line to try and balance the scoring a little bit. I’m also a believer that DeBrusk, not Ryan Donato, will be the guy to take the final forward spot on the top PP unit. (That isn’t factored into these projections yet, however.) Let’s say Boston does move down Pastrnak and DeBrusk is on the top PP unit. We’re talking about a guy who could soar past 60 points.

Landeskog will have a huge edge in hits on DeBrusk, even though DeBrusk is no slouch in that category. That is not in doubt. But considering DeBrusk can probably be drafted seven or eight rounds later than Landeskog, and has a very real chance to out-produce Landeskog across the board except in hits, I think it’s a chance worth taking.

  Defence

  Player to Draft: Kevin Shattenkirk

Current Projection: 8.7 goals, 37.1 assists, 22.9 PPPs, 165.1 shots, 82.1 hits

  Player to Avoid: Ryan Ellis

Current Projection: 9.8 goals, 33.7 assists, 9.4 PPPs, 179.4 shots, 58 hits

  This isn’t necessarily about arbitrage even though goals and assists grade out with relative similarity. This is about a defenceman who, it appears, is the clearly superior fantasy option being available at a huge discount.

By ADP on Yahoo!, Ellis is going as roughly a top-20 defenceman whereas Shattenkirk is going as the 37th defenceman (Martin Marincin glitch not included). NHL.com has Ellis just inside the top-120 players and Shattenkirk just outside the top-175. No matter where you look, Ellis is ranked ahead, sometimes far ahead, of Shattenkirk.

I���ve had The Ryan Ellis Discussion with other fantasy writers and everyone seems pretty uniformly in this camp: that Ellis’s 2018-19 season, shortened by injury, was the new norm for him and not an aberration.

Here’s what I wrote on Ellis a few weeks ago:

    That basically summarizes my thoughts on Ellis. The assist rate concerns me and I’m not sure we should throw out the years before 2017-18 when projecting his shot rate moving forward.

It seems people are forgetting that Shattenkirk, when healthy, is still one of the best offensive defencemen in the league. From 2013-17, he averaged 12.8 goals every 82 games, managed at least 44 points in each season (remember: Ellis has never had a 40-point campaign), and he is the sure-fire top PP QB for the Rangers, something else Ellis can’t boast. When he was healthy, Ellis averaged 2:12 of PP time per game in 2017-18, mostly on the second unit. When Shattenkirk was healthy, he averaged 3:11 of PP time per game, mostly on the top unit.

I will concede that this is skewed by not factoring plus/minus. If the Rangers are as bad as most people think they will be, at least defensively, it’s possible we see a minus-25 year from Shattenkirk. On the other hand, we thought the same thing about Tyson Barrie before the 2017-18 season and though his was bad, it wasn’t a season-killer.

Keep in mind that Shattenkirk was on pace for a 41-point season and did so with a left knee issue that popped up in training camp and was endured until he finally had to have surgery. If he can put up a 40-point pace on one knee, what can he do if he’s healthy?

If the plus/minus scares you off Shattenkirk, I understand. I just think it’s random enough that taking the chance on him much later in the draft over Ellis is a reasonable gamble.

NEW YORK — An all-star lineup that includes Stevie Wonder, Faith Hill, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Shirley Caesar and many more will perform at Aretha Franklin’s funeral next week.

The Queen of Soul’s service will be held in Detroit on Aug. 31. Also slated to perform are Ron Isley, Chaka Khan, Yolanda Adams, Jennifer Holliday and Franklin’s son, Edward Franklin.

This combination photo shows Faith Hill at the 52nd annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas on April 2, 2017, left, and Jennifer Hudson at the Brit Awards 2018 in London on Feb. 21, 2018. Hill and Hudson are part of an all-star lineup expected to perform at Aretha Franklin’s funeral next week. (AP Photo)

The list was provided to The Associated Press on Thursday by Franklin’s longtime publicist, Gwendolyn Quinn.

The service will reflect Franklin’s strong gospel roots. Among the gospel stars performing will be Marvin Sapp, the Clark Sisters and Vanessa Bell Armstrong. The Aretha Franklin Orchestra and the Aretha Franklin Celebration Choir are also on the program, as are singers Audrey DuBois Harris and Alice McAllister Tillman

The service will be held at Greater Grace Temple. Franklin died of pancreatic cancer last Thursday at age 76 in Detroit.

The funeral will cap a week of remembrances for Franklin. A public viewing will be held at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History on Tuesday and Wednesday. A public concert at Chene Park amphitheatre is scheduled for Thursday.

I'm currently under the weather so here's what I think Yusei n Atem would do when either of then gets sick

Yusei: he's a workaholic so he'd try to power thru it, but thanks to Martha's help, Atem learned how to get that man to a bed n rest pfft

Atem: he's kinda dramatic abt it pfft. Yusei would prob get into malewife mode or smth tryna take care of Atem

Also they both prob be like "kiss 🥺" even though they're sick n the other be like "fine, but u better not get me sick" then fast forward to a couple weeks later n theyre sick lol

[sapp0w0]

Atem loves learning new things, n so does he loves hearing Yusei just ramble abt his interests

But often or not, while Yusei is goin on his speal, Atem would just randomly space out n just admire Yusei. Both his looks and dedication to his craft n interests.

Bros like:(minus the sad voice part)

[sapp0w0]

"First date idea"

N it's just Yusei n Atem dueling each other n while theyre at it, Yusei tryna teach Atem how to synchro summon

But Atem keeps interrupting with "synchro what?" Every time synchro is mentioned

[sapp0w0]

I think they both would fairly peel each other's orange when asked to.

N maybe, even when Yusei is working on his trinkets on his D-Runner, Atem would feed some to Yusei cuz of his oily and greasy hands pfft

Edit: Actually. Not just that. They literally would do n e thing to get each other's ace monster back. So yea
