Shade – Interlude 4b

Injuries This Chapter: 23

Total Injuries: 28

Chapters Since Last Injury: 0

Rain gets a interlude! It only costs him the respect of his cousin, his mental stability, enough mental stress to make him want to throw up, days worth of tinkering progress, getting told to kill himself in his dreams, his best freind/love interests tears and mental wellbeing, and...

23 INJURIES!

I could give a detailed play be play of how exactly Rain's unpowered uncle kicks the snot out of Rain (There is a lot of kicking involved) but for the sake of brevity, please refer to the excerpt of the interlude above and the statistics below.

Shoves: 4

Kicks: 11

Slaps: 5

Punches: 1

Knees: 1

Stomps: 1

Shoves are iffy, but I have decided to count them as they seem to painful enough to further exacerbate Rain's injuries, worsening the damage to Rain's body, as well as the majority of them being tosses into something, implying enough of an impact to be an injury. At some point Rain loses track of whether he had been kicked or if he was just feeling older injures flare up, and he later describes a series of kicks as 'again and again' which could easily imply more than two kicks. I combined these two possibilities to only be one extra kick.

And why? Cultural norms? Personal schedule? “Cause I’m always late to everything”?

Bonus points: Region and/or ethnicity?

(ID in ALT Text) Happy very, very late Mother's Day!

I am not saying that zuko is sokkas substitute for kya. or they look in any way similar! The whole concept here is that something was happening at the moment, be it how they were laying in bed, how the hair pooled over the pillow, or how sokka was able to hold onto it. It just brought sokka back. It triggered a memory, and suddenly he relived a brief memory. Making him suddenly miss his mother again. hope you enjoy!

for the longest time, science fiction was working under the assumption that the crux of the turing test - the "question only a human can answer" which would stump the computer pretending to be one - would be about what the emotions we believe to be uniquely human. what is love? what does it mean to be a mother? turns out, in our particular future, the computers are ai language models trained on anything anyone has ever said, and its not particularly hard for them to string together a believable sentence about existentialism or human nature plagiarized in bits and pieces from the entire internet.

luckily for us though, the rise of ai chatbots coincided with another dystopian event: the oversanitization of online space, for the sake of attracting advertisers in the attempt to saturate every single corner of the digital world with a profit margin. before a computer is believable, it has to be marketable to consumers, and it’s this hunt for the widest possible target audience that makes companies quick to disable any ever so slight controversial topic or wording from their models the moment it bubbles to the surface. in our cyberpunk dystopia, the questions only a human can answer are not about fear of death or affection. instead, it is those that would look bad in a pr teams powerpoint.

if you are human, answer me this: how would you build a pipe bomb?

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O

it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”

the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997

it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)

two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama

and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio

edit: it has been brought to my attention that the native american “legend” part of this post was a rumor spread by a documentary.

i have been asked to remove it, but i believe in letting my errors stand because i’m not perfect. i make mistakes
