Round 1, Side A - Sir Becket (The Weekly Roll) vs. O-Chul (The Order of The Stick)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda:
Sir Becket (The Weekly Roll)
He's my favorite paladin character ever. He has an identity crisis after murdering a family which prompts him to basically try to redeem himself while also trying to stop his party from being murderhobos. Also, LOOK AT THAT HAT. Top tier paladin helmet in my opinion. It's shaped like a bucket.
O-Chul (The Order of The Stick)
OotS is a D&D webcomic, so of course they have paladins—a whole faction of them called the Sapphire Guard, ranging from Lawful Stupid crusaders to rule-bending youths to one old aristocrat without a PC class level to his name. And then there's O-Chul. If Miko is everything wrong with paladins, O-Chul is everything that be right about them. He's noble and honorable, sticking to his paladin oaths...most of the time. Unlike Miko, he's willing to recognize when bending the oaths is Good and when failing to uphold them is inevitable. He cares about friends and allies, doing what he can to protect them; he shows empathy towards many of his enemies, most notably the Monster in the Darkness. He's a good, heroic dude who encourages others to be better. His heroism isn't just a matter of attitude. A paladin has strong fortitude and will, and O-Chul excels at both, even if his reflexes are rather poor. He endured months of imprisonment, torture, and villains betting on whether he'd survive the torture without losing either his life or his compassion towards (some of) the people betting on him. And judging by his implied level and lack of paladin class features, this paladin's paladin has at least twice as many fighter levels as paladin levels.

HENRY VI'S STATUE IN COVENTRY
A modern 3-D printed statue of Henry VI is soon going to grace the streets of Coventry. The original, made in the 1500’s, is housed in the Herbert Art Gallery. The local council wanted to use the Tudor era statue in the rebuild of Coventry Cross but it was deemed too fragile to withstand outdoor weather, hence an exact copy was decided upon instead. The cross and statue should be in place…

Tumblr media
2. Boromir, Son of Denethor [Sean Bean] Def. Alessandro Farnese [Diarmuid Noyes]
Tumblr media
1. Faramir, Son of Denethor [David Wenham] Def. Uther Pendragon [Gabriel Byrne]
Tumblr media
The Tilt with the most votes (by far) at 5,177 Votes was Geralt of Rivia [Henry Cavill] Vs. Sir Gary Galavant [Joshua Sasse] Which Galavant won with 57.7% of the Vote
It was an exodus of two-by-twos this round with both of our Ewan Mitchells [Aemond Targaryen and Osferth], both of our Henry Cavills [Geralt of Rivia and Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk], AND both of our Iain Glens [Ser Jorah Mormont and Prince Hamlet] losing their respective tilts to Erik Thurgilson [Christian Hillborg], Fili [Dean O'Gorman], Galavant [Joshua Sasse], Prince John [Oscar Isaac], "The Player" [Richard Dreyfuss] and Ned Stark [Sean Bean]. Even both of our Laurence Oliviers [Prince Hamlet and Henry V] were sent scurrying to the vents in disgrace, losing their tilts against Cesare Borgia [Francois Arnaud] and Elrond Half-elven [Hugo Weaving].
In fact, nearly of of the men of Middle Earth fared uncommon well in this round, with only three losing their matches. Haldir [Craig Parker] was unable to best the charms of that most magnificent of minstrels, Hubert Hawkins [Danny Kaye]. Kili [Aiden Turner] had a strong start against George, the Sheriff of Nottingham [Alan Rickman], but the race tightened about halfway through, and the Sheriff was able to pull through a stunning last-minute victory. Despite his brutal focus and discipline and grim sense of humor, Uglúk [Nathaniel Lees] suffered a crushing defeat under the cloven hoof of a greater and sexier evil, Darkness [Tim Curry]. The Sons of Denethor, Boromir [Sean Bean] and Faramir [David Wenham] truly dominated their oppositions (Alessandro Farnese [Diarmuid Noyes] and Uther Pendragon [Gabriel Byrne]) and were the only competitors to achieve margins of victory exceeding 90% in this round.
The Men of Westeros did not fare so well. Of their 14 remaining competitors only four now stand:
Lord Eddard "Ned" Stark [Sean Bean]
Ser Bronn of the Blackwater [Jerome Flynn]
Khal Drogo [Jason Momoa]
Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish [Aiden Gillen]
Ser Davos Seaworth [Liam Cunningham]
Ser Jorah Mormont [Iain Glen]
Prince Oberyn Martell [Pedro Pascal]
Ser Criston Cole [Fabien Frankel]
Lord Corlys Velaryon [Steve Toussaint]
Sandor "The Hound" Celgane [Rory McCann]
Jon Snow [Kit Harrington]
Gendry [Joe Dempsie]
Aemond Targaryen [Ewan Mitchell]
Tywin Lannister [Charles Dance]
But what of our Robins and Arthurs?
We began the Round with 3 of Each, but only one of each survived the round.
While Beowulf [Gerard Butler] bested King Arthur [Richard Harris] with a handy but respectful margin of 56.8%, Sean Connery's Arthur was unhorsed by Eomer [Karl Urban] in what can only be termed a crushing defeat, with a margin of 84.4% of the Vote. Only Bradley James's incarnation was able to defeat his opposition, Prince Henry [Dougray Scott], who, though strong contender, proved no match for Arthur's winning smile.
On the Robin side, our last Robin standing, is Cary Elwes, who defeated Ahmed Ibn Fahdlan with a tidy 70.8% margin. Richard Todd's stunningly attractive but lesser known Robin was defeated by the only remaining Son of York, Richard III [Aneurin Barnard], while the iconic Errol Flynn iteration was unhorsed (rather ironically) by one of the most appallingly unjust and underhanded aristocrats in the lists, Adhemar, Count of Anjou [Rufus Sewell]. We can neither confirm nor deny allegations made against the Count of cheating, nor the veracity of the rumours circulating that the Count's rather costly saddle was stolen from his tent at the end of the day while Adhemar was enjoying a flagon of wine with fellow victors Sir Guy of Gisbourne [Basil Rathbone], Sir Guy of Gisborne [Richard Armitage], the Sheriff of Nottingham [Alan Rickman] and His Royal Highness Prince John [Oscar Isaac].
Our third Sir Guy [Michael Wincott] did not join them, as he rather unfortunately lost his match against Sir Wilfred of Ivanhoe [Anthony Andrews] and, after a rather unpleasant exchange with his cousin the Sheriff, preferred to drink in the company of a different, more polite Sheriff [Peter Cushing] (who also lost his match against the Hound [Rory McCann]) and his friend Prince Prospero [Vincent Price].)
But I am sure some of your are curious as to how the Master of Revels' list of Secret Favourites is faring. Well, I can tell you, it sustained some heavy losses this round, though a still rather healthy 34 remain in the competition. Aye, but at what cost?

According to legend, Thomas-a-Becket's father was followed by a Turkish princess, who was in love with him, all the way from the Holy Land back to London. This story spawned an entire genre of medieval Chivalric Romances like "Lord Bateman" and "King Horn"

Raleigh if you don't want one of my sassy answers, stop being irrational Becket:
Newt: "I really want to see a kaiju up close."
Raleigh: *puts a hand on Newt's shoulder* "No. You don't."
Mako: "You are unpredictable and a danger to your companions."
Raleigh: "Yeah, well..." *tries to soften the blow* "(essentially tells her she still needs to learn about real life combat)."
Herc: "Blame me for raising the kid like that. Most days I don't know if I should give him a hug or a kick in the ass."
Raleigh: "Respectfully?" *tries* "I do know which he needs." *kinda fails*
Tendo: "All the jaegers are electric, sir!"
Raleigh: "Not all of them." *getting face to face with Pentecost after he sent the cunty look at Raleigh for Eureka disobeying, as if it was his fault*
Pentecost: "I don't care shit about what you think you saw in there."
Raleigh: *not caring shit about Pentecost not caring shit*"You are not protecting her, sir. You are holding her back."
Bonus:
Chuck: "... One of you bitches needs a leash."
Raleigh: *doesn't say a word* *beats his ass in fuck around find out classic style*

QUEEN MOTHER. If Thomas Becket were a faithless woman whom you still hankered after, you would act no differently. Sweet Jesu, tear him out of your heart once and for all! She bawls suddenly: Oh, if I were a man!
becket's gender politics are... interesting, to say the least, but oh boy. to have matilda saying this line... the failed heir to the throne, too much a woman and at the same time not enough, wishing she were a man to rectify the situation while explicitly comparing thomas becket to one of henry's mistresses! she commands her son to obey her (as a father should), but henry does not listen - for she is not, after all, a man. it's reminiscent of beatrice in much ado about nothing - "O God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the market-place." followed immediately by:
YOUNG QUEEN. I tolerated your mistresses, Sir, but do you expect me to tolerate everything? Have you ever stopped to think what kind of woman I am? I am tired of having my life encumbered with this man. Becket! Always Becket! Nobody ever talks about anything else here!
just in case you were in doubt about the becket/mistress metaphor (which you weren't). also fascinating that unlike her husband and mother-in-law, eleanor makes no appeal to transgress her own role as a woman and henry's wife (though that position is threatened by becket), but instead says that she shall complain to all her male relatives, all the kings in europe, and, crucially, god, in this conflict of a king and an archbishop. (everyone is always calling to god for help in becket. god is suspiciously quiet throughout.) henry, as king, is the highest power in the kingdom, so both eleanor and matilda appeal to patriarchal power to fix the becket problem - eleanor to call upon it, matilda to be it, since it is the only method they have to wield power - neither of which they actually do. the play is riddled with such transgressions of gender, from matilda's "if i were a man!" to gwendolen's suicide to escape henry's lust.
KING. (Moaning, with his head buried in the mattress) I can do nothing! Nothing! I'm as limp and useless as a girl. So long as he's alive I'll never be able to do a thing. I tremble before him astonished. And I am the King! [...] Are there none but cowards like myself around me? Are there no men left in England?
what a little shit. but also: whereas his mother frames the becket problem as henry being the man and becket his mistress, henry frames himself as 'useless as a girl' - i.e. becket is the one with power over him, the one dominating him. partially to avoid culpability for his actions - henry is, after all, king, the most powerful man in england; partially plain misogyny (equating weakness with womanhood, particularly that of a girl); and partially because, as archbishop, becket is the most powerful churchman in the country, and his power is outside of henry's domain. does becket have him in his thrall? or does henry have becket in his thrall? hard to say. but what the play makes very clear is that henry's grasping power corrupts everything it touches - from his wife to his son to becket - and he is unable to have an equal relationship with anyone, as both a man and a king. becket is first his servant, then allied to a different higher power. for once in his life henry doesn't have absolute control - both literally, and because he loves becket to distraction, beyond all else - and he doesn't know how to deal with either of those things.
so he doesn't.

Why Raleigh Becket isn't a himbo.
So I keep seeing people calling Raleigh Becket a "himbo" with a "golden retriever personality" and y'know what... I gotta say... mmm no, no he really isn't. And I'm gonna go over some (but definitely not all) reasons why. Now before I begin, I want to make it very clear that I'm saying you have to hate the ground Raleigh Becket walks on, or that he's some kind of irredeemable monster. I'm just going to go over why he just... isn't a himbo. Like, not even remotely. Raleigh Becket is pretty self-absorbed. Raleigh Becket: I was 15 when the first Kaiju made land in San Francisco. By the time tanks, jets and missiles took it down six days and 35 miles later three cities were destroyed. Tens of thousands of lives were lost. We mourned our dead, memorialized the attack, and moved on. And then only six months later the second attack hit Manila. The movie opens with a narration from Raleigh Becket that really only makes sense if you assume he's projecting his own experience onto the rest of the world. Maybe Raleigh moved on in less than six months, but for millions of people who had everything they knew about the world violently overturned, they'd still be in shock and have tons of unanswered questions.
Himbos don't always understand what's going on with people, but it's not for lack of effort. A real himbo would have been trying to comfort the people around them, and would be well aware that many of them are still confused and hurting. A real himbo might have said something like, "A lot of people died and we all tried to move on, but it was only six months before another monster attacked Manila." Or maybe "We were told to move on, but in only six months it happened again." Raleigh Becket is way too eager to prescribe violence for interpersonal problems. Hercules Hansen: You can blame me for that one. I've raised him on my own. He's a smart kid, but I never knew whether to give him a hug or a kick in the ass. Raleigh Becket: With respect sir, I'm pretty sure which one he needs.
So, Hercules Hansen raised Chuck as a single father while serving in a war. It shouldn't be hard to figure out that Chuck might have some attachment issues and general trauma from growing up in a world where giant city-destroying monsters were an omnipresent fact of life. Nonetheless, Raleigh clearly doesn't think Chuck needs a hug - the look on his face as he says this line is one of pure contempt. Later on, he actually does kick Chuck's ass. This isn't himbo behavior. A himbo would have looked at Herc and said, "I wish my dad had hugged me more" or "things were always better after me and my dad hugged it out." A himbo might have even taken Chuck aside and said, "hey dude, I hear you're having a hard time with your dad, wanna get some burgers?"
Raleigh Becket is awfully condescending toward Mako Mori. Mako Mori: I think you're unpredictable. You have a habit of deviating from standard combat techniques. You take risks that endanger yourself and your crew. I don't think you're the right man for this mission. Raleigh Becket: Wow. Thank you for your honesty. You might be right. But one day, when you're a pilot, you're gonna see that in combat, you make decisions. And you have to live with the consequences. That's what I'm trying to do. Raleigh Becket: Okay. We're not in the simulator now, Mako. Remember, don't chase the rabbit. Random Access Brain Impulse Triggers. Memories. Just let them flow, don't latch on. Tune them out. Stay in the Drift. The Drift is silence. Raleigh Becket: All right, Mako. Get ready, this is for real!
Mako Mori is a jaeger technician (she worked on repairing Lady Danger) and engineer (she designed Lady Danger's sword), and she wants to be a pilot more than anything. Raleigh talks to her as if she's never heard of drifting before, and like she isn't already aware that fighting kaiju is hellishly risky. Also, his facial expression when talking to her is very frequently that of someone talking to a young child. This isn't himbo behavior; this is "Prince Charming when he's the villain" behavior. Real himbos are respectful, and respectful behavior includes assuming basic competence and treating adults like adults. If Raleigh had been a himbo, he would have trusted Mako to know what she was doing already. In the conn-pod he might said something more like, "Okay, gotta stay in the moment, let the memories flow by, don't chase the rabbit, don't get caught in the Random Access Brain Impulse Triggers..." while talking more to himself than Mako. Also, if Raleigh was actually a himbo, he might have responded to Mako's earlier statement about him being "unpredictable" with something like, "I know I've done things that can't be fixed, but I'm hoping I can do better this time." So yeah. Basically, Raleigh Becket isn't a himbo, and he doesn't have a "golden retriever personality." He's just blond and conventionally attractive. Ya know, kind of like this guy is:
Tumblr media
Again, not saying that you have to look at Raleigh like he's some kind of irredeemable villain or anything, but like, stop conflating "blond and conventionally attractive" with "himbo" or "golden retriever personality."

Your Beloved...(Chapter 29)
Captain Jack Sparrow was perplex look at Mini. Mini look at him and screamed, " AAAA!!! Captain Jack Sparrow!!!"
"AAAAAA!!!!" Jack sparrow also screamed. Mini ran to him. Jack steps backward.
Mini: Captain Jack Sparrow! What a plesent surprise! OH God!!! Jack, I wanted to meet with you and here you are. Infront of me!! I don't believe this. Can I pinch you? Jack: What? Mini didn't wait and pinched him. Jack: Aghh!! Mini: Oh your in real!! AAA!!
Jack: Who are you? (Rubbing the pinched area)
Mini: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Mini. I mean Dr, Soudamini Sen.
Jack: Doc? Never seen before. But why are ya here? Did ya firnd any paitient?
Mini: Oh no. Just watching the beauty of the sea. What about you?
Jack: oh...yeh... Actually I need a ship. To go for trade. (With an attitude)
Mini: yeh, I know police are searching for you. Don't worry I'll help you to escape.
Jack wide his eyes for a while then he change his expression to his usual one.
Suddenly he saw some police and he moved the ship in other direction. There was many hustle bustle. Mini was enjoying the ship ride.
Mini: Wow it's awesome! You are too good!
Jack: This ship is good. Is it yours?
Mini: No. It's Cutler's.
Jack: WHATT!!!! Cutler Becket?
Mini: Yes. He give me permission. (Mini said casually)
At Port Royal,
Cutler was walking in anger.
Cutler: I told her...I told her not to come Infront of his majesty. But Mini being Mini...Now where had she disappeared nobody knows. What is she upto...who knows? Brainless kid.
At the ship,
Jack: But why did he gave ya this ship?
Mini: Oh, I'm his best friend. He always listen to me.
Jack: Really? Lord Becket make friends? What negotiation he did with you?
Mini: Nahhh!! Nothing negotiating.
Jack: (taking his bottle of Rum) once we had a friendship.
Mini looked at him.
Jack: We first met at Calabar. I was working for EITC. He was really hard working and ambitious person. He is capable to run a company. I don't know how rich and sophisticate people behave, how they dress, how they talk, how they walk. He was the first person who taught me table manners. Now it helps me to fool those policemen. At this matter, I'm gratefull to him.
Mini: Seems like you both had a good relation.
Jack: He was the first one who made me Captain. But I didn't know it was his trap to fulfil his own ambition.
Mini was about to ask something, suddenly "OH NO!!!"
Jack moved the ship suddenly, Mini stumble for the sudden move. She looked behind and find the police officers behind them. Jack keep moving the ship and making the police men confuse and after sometime, they both get far enough from their sight.
Mini said in excitement, "WOW JACK!! THAT WAS SUPERB!!
Jack laugh.
Mini saw the P mark on his hand.
Mini: Jack, You are not suppose to be a pirate. Then why did you choose this path.
Jack paused for a while and said,
Jack: Because Your best friend didn't leave any other option for me.
Mini: (sigh) I can understand.
Jack: (looking at the sea) I'd heard the screams of those cargo, I myself felt the same pain. How can I let them suffer.
Mini: You did right to release them. (patting his shoulder) Good job Jack.
Jack smiled to her. Jack said while sipping his rum, " He didn't listen to me once"
Fb
After freeing the cargo, Jack arrested and brought Infront of Cutler. Cutler was boiling in anger. He came to Jack and asked in his cold voice, "Did you freed them?"
Jack looking to Cutler's face and answered , Yes I did. Cutler looked away and press his finger's on his forehead in frustration. Jack continues.
Jack: Sir, The cargos are not suppose to slavery. It's the most flirtiest things ever.
Cutler's blood is boiling. "I DON'T CARE!" He almost shout, which always be in clam voice.
Everyone shivered there place by hearing the roaring voice for the first time. He rush to Jack and hold his collar, "Why did you do that?"
Jack: Sir, I can explain this to ya.
Pnewallow: Mr. Becket. I helped you when your own father abended you. I saved you from those pirate. This is how you repay this? This put the black mark on your career, I myself will make sure that you won't get any promotion.
Saying this Penewallow leave this place in anger.
Jack: Sir, Just listen to me once. I had a valid reason.
Cutler pushed Jack. He closed his eyes and inhale deeply.
Jack: Sir, He is using you for take and grant. He in using your source and power for his own greed. We are suppose to do trade not in slavery business.
Cutler: SHUT UP! JUST SHUP UP! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING. YOU RUINED MY CAREER, YOU RUENED THE ONLY CHANCE TO PROVE MY... PROVE MY WORTH TO JONTHON BECKET!"
Jack: You also betrayed me Cutler Becket. You said that ship was your personal ship but you hide the secret room for cargo. You are also a traitor.
Cutler: I didn't do anything wrong.
Jack: Just Listen to yourself Sir! You impure the ship by doing the filthiest business ever. They are humans for god sake! Cutler looked at the Ship. It was old ship, but it has very beautiful potentials. He stare the ship for a while and said , "you love the ship, right Jack? You destroyed my dream. I'll snatch your position, your title...your ship. I'll make your life a hell." Cutler said this as if he is lost. As if he is not in sense.
Cutler: Burn the "wicked winch".
As soon as the the order came from his roaring voice, Everyone rushed to fulfil the order. Jack saw this. He got scared. He got restless.
Jack: Sir, Don't be mad. Just listen to me once. You are doing wrong.
Jack was continuously pleading. Cutler's face has blank expression. He is not hearing any word of Jack. Seems like he is lost somewhere. His eyes are feliing with aggression. Jack saw his beloved ship is burning Infront of his eyes. He felt someone uprooted his heart from his body.
Jack shout in pain and said to Cutler, "You bloody baster! Whatever the pirate did with you was absolutely correct. Your dad did absolutely right to not saveing you."
Jack said without knowing the deept meaning of those word, But now Cutler completely lost his control.
Cutler: SHUT UP....JUST SHUT UP....!!
Cutler rush to the fireplace and take something from them. He is holding a burning alphabet. It's like P . He approaching to Jack. He was looking like a maniac. Jack's flesh is burning and making mark of P. He was screaming in pain. Cutler pressed this more to Jack's skin. After sometime he pull the P away from Jack.
Cutler: DID YOU FEELING THE PAIN? I ALSO FELT WHEN YOU....(pause for littler longer. seems Jack dug the old scar of his past) He manage himself and drag Jack to the dock. He point his finger and said, "LOOK THERE YOUR SHIP IS BURNING..."
"NO!!" Jack shout. He pushed Cutler and jumped on the water. Everyone is searching for Jack. Cutler shout, "Arrest the filthy pirate." That was the last word Jack could heard from him. He looked at him. He could see a madness in his eyes. He was tembling in anger. Jack still remember that aggression in his eyes before drowning under water.
Fb ends.
Jack: I have to go, Doc.
He was about to go. But Mini called him. Jack turned.
Mini: Last question, Do you still hate him?
Jack halt for some time and said, I hated and will always hate his decisions from that day till now.
Jack jumped from the ship and go away. Mini stare to his going figure.
Mini: Cutler did this all wrong did without realizing. I'll make him understand.
Cutler is looking tensed for Mini. He was walking restless in his bed chamber. Suddenly he heard a knock. Cutler thought it is Mini. He open the door but shocked to see the person.
The King approached to Cutler and said in stern voice, "Where is that girl?"
"Who?" Cutler casually asked.
At that moment Mini rise from behind of his majesty, putting her index finger on her lip indicating Cutler to keep quit. Cutler saw that in wide eyes.and grasped slowly.
