#soldiers and their commander

[berokind]

“你们的师座狂热又迷人。整个顾问团都说，他是年轻的凯撒。可我老麦说，他太爱战争了，生命对他只是战争的燃料，他该去看医生。”——亚瑟·麦克卢汉

"Your division commander is full of passion and charm. The whole advisory group is saying, that he is just like an young Caesar. But I, McLuhan, think, that he loves war too much. And lives, to him, are nothing but fodder for war. He should go and see a doctor." - Arthur McLuhan

“我的师座不是战争���，他只是焦虑太过了，焦虑太过了，但总好过那些没心没肺的醉生梦死吧。一尘不染的事情是没有的，我们每天都在吸进灰尘，但不妨碍我们做的好一些啊，没有人经得起别人的挑剔。我们只想要一个答案，但答案不该是死啊。”——龙文章

"My division commander isn't war crazy, he's only got too much to worry about, to be anxious about, but surely, he is better than those befuddled nitwits, who are living in a daze. Indeed, nothing in life is perfect: every day, we are trudging through its ups and downs, eating dirt, biting dust. But that doesn't hinder us from doing a bit better—no one's able to endure being picked on by another. We only want an answer, but that answer shouldn't be 'death'." - Long Wenzhang

It isn't often, that I come across a character, whom I find compelling, captivating, fascinating. A character, with whom I feel a certain connection with, having me laughing with them, having me crying with them. And division commander Yu, Yu Xiaoqing, would be such a character.

He is a military man, through and through; some may even call him a perfect soldier.

A soldier, who never sits, when he can stand. “国难当头，岂能坐视。” "With our country facing imminent danger, how could one sit down and watch."

A commander, who is able to let go of personal feelings and ties, executing his own brother, who failed in his duty as a commanding officer. “前主力团团长，我胞弟慎卿，把江防管得外紧内松，自己又临阵失惊，我刚去弹压，把他砍了。” "The former head of the main regiment, my younger brother Shenqing, was superficial in his management of the river defense, over and above that, he lost his nerve in battle. I just went to suppress the situation, and I cut him down."

But at the best of times, he is only a child. A child, that dreams big. A child, that wants to do good. A child, shackled by its naivety.

His innocence shines through in his directness, his stubbornness, his every single action—and my heart aches for him.

He is a character, complex in his simplicity and simple in his complexity.

Somebody please give Fox a paycheck instead of more chest candy, that's all he wants!

[befuddled-calico-whump]

thinking about a whumpee on a forced march through rough terrain

hands tied in front of them, on foot while their captors are mounted, sleeping out in the open, forced to beg for adequate food and water

maybe they're barefoot, a captured royal in silken robes

maybe they're in a torn suit or soldier's uniform

maybe they were stripped at the start, increasing the exposure to the elements, the humiliation

are they a terrified mess from the beginning, or do they try to endure with dignity? how long before they're stumbling, barely putting one foot in front of the other? how long before they fall?

Star wars sketches: an au where luke joins the rebellion at 14 and some head sketches

This is something I've been working on off and on for a while now, totaling over 36 hours. I hope y'all are hungry for more Order 66 angst!

Two former military elites taking merc jobs perform absolutely hellish battle tactics together.

Still not used to this life or death situation stuff. That's good, 'cause I'm not either. You never get used to it.

他愤怒的是我的团长没做他的同类，倒和我们这些满身虱子的人渣为伍。

What angered him was that our regimental commander, instead of standing as his equal, chose to align himself with lice-ridden scum like us.

Guys, let's get it straight, okay? Alastor is not a father figure, he is a bother figure. There is a non zero, but still very LOW, chance he actually considers himself anything remotely positive in reference to Charlie and the others. He didn't do all that nonsense with Lucifer because he cares about her, he did it because it pissed Lucifer off and he thought that was funny as hell

obi-wan, approaching cody who sat, propped against what he thinks is part of the at-te's leg, battered and bloody, placing a gentle hand on his arm: you did well out there, cody.

cody, grimacing but chuckling: ‘e couldn't have done it without you, general.

obi-wan: oh, i did the easy part.. the difference in appearance really proves that, hm?

cody: mmf.

obi-wan: we need to get you to the medic, my dear.. helix won't be pleased to see either of us again, but you won't be getting away with walking this one off.

cody, managing a small pained smile: yes, general.. permission to rest?

obi-wan, fondly, and ever so gently pressing a kiss to the clones forehead: permission granted.. you deserve it.
