The rain hitting your window was enough to lull you to sleep a couple of hours ago. It was a Friday night and you finally got to rest after a hectic week of projects, papers and exams. That was until you began tossing and turning. The nightmares that plagued you started to become too much and you could barely sleep these days. Its nothing you are not used to. Being an ex-Avenger and all. But after all the shit you and your roommate turned best friend went through last month, shit was tough. The Fishman Namor was out to kill her. You got kidnapped and taken to an underwater kingdom. You helped Wakanda fight. So much had happened and you couldn't shake the thoughts of all the what ifs running through your mind. The nightmare was an occurring one. He had gotten his wish. When he attacked the throne room the queen died but so did she. You woke up in a silent sob as you did for the past week and sat in your bed for a couple of minutes, watching her. She slept peacefully and you let a small smile appear on your lips before quietly throwing on some clothes and pulling your braids through the back of your cap. As you went for the door you heard her shuffle and turned to see her looking up at you.

"Girl it's, 12:30. Where the hell are you going?" She questioned and you grabbed a notebook and your umbrella.

"Library's open till 3. Go back to sleep, I'll be back." You shut the door before she had a chance to say anything else and made your way to the library. It was usually quiet and the place you went to in order to clear your head. Finding an empty table you let out a long sigh with your head in your hands. You wouldn't have this problem if Shuri didn't help you realize your feelings for Riri.

You watched her as she worked on her Ironheart suit and found yourself in a trance. She worked intensively with "Alone" by Burna Boy playing in her airpods as you prepared the weapons you were going to have on your person. The Avenger in you refused to back down from this fight. You had found a friend in Riri when the two of you met freshman year. She was a genius and you were a book nerd. A year after knowing her, you confided to her that you used to be an Avenger. Trained under Natasha and Steve, more so Black Widow and Captain America. The two have since passed but you remember the skills they passed onto you while under their teachings. She still accepted you and you vowed to rough up anyone who gave her problems. You felt a light tap on your shoulder and turned to see the princess. She gave you a small smile before looking at your weapon and suit designs.

"That looks brilliant. Are you sure she's the only genius between you two?" She laughed and you gave a soft chuckle.

"She's the brains, I'm the brawn." You told her and she looked over at the girl.

"She's the reason you're fighting right? To protect her." She said as you added the finishing touch to your suit. "Yeah I guess you can say that."

"So when are you going to tell her about your feelings for her?" She continued and you froze. Had you been that obvious? Your eyes found the princesses curious orbs and you let a laugh leave you. "It wasn't that hard to see. Even for an ex-avenger, you've slipped up a couple of times.

"Never. She's better off not knowing." You replied and she sat down next to you. "I'm an ex-Avenger. I have enemies out there and I can't risk her getting hurt." You looked down at your designs as if there was something else to be done. Just to get out of this conversation.

"And yet she's going into a fight with a mutant merman who wants to kill her." She laughed and your shoulders shook as you couldn't hide your own laughter.

"You're right. But I'll keep my secret until the time is right." You mumbled and she nodded.

You didn't even know you had let a tear roll down your cheek as the memory played in your head, clear as day. A hand landed on your shoulder and you turned to see Riri standing next to you with concern on her face. You couldn't even take the time to wipe your face as she pulled a chair next to you and did it for you.

"What's got you all upset ma?" She asked and you opened your mouth to speak but no words came out. You were really trying to hold it together and Riri could see that written all over your face. She grabbed the back of your head, bringing you to hide in the crook of her neck breaking the dam. You silently cried into her shoulder and she rubbed your back with her other hand. She held you until you stopped shaking and your sobs turned into small sniffles. She slowly pulled you up before swiping her thumbs under your eyes. "Talk to me Y/N."

"I've been having nightmares. They all end the same, I lost you. After the whole Namor thing, I just. I can't help but think he's still got it out for you. It scared me when you were in danger and it still scares me now." You mumbled not meeting her gaze and she remained silent. Urging you to continue before you took a deep breath. "So many what ifs running through my head and I can't get it to stop. If something happens to you, I won't be able to forgive myself. Ex-Avenger or not, I still care about you." You cautiously glanced up to meet her eyes and she leaned a bit closer.

"Yeah I know I should be used to stuff like this. But it is different because it's you and I care about you and your safety. You're this amazing person who doesn't nothing but help people and I love that about you." The word slipped out before you could stop yourself and you suddenly felt the need to go hide under your sheets. She noticed your sudden nervousness before grabbing your face to make you look at her.

"I love you too idiot." She announced and you could practically hear your heartbeat in your ears. "I'll admit I was scared too. Not just because I was basically on this guy's hit list. But because you followed me. Blindly." You felt all of your worries melt away when she brought you in for a tight hug. You wrapped your arms around her and shut your eyes. The weight of doubt lifted off your chest and you placed a single kiss on her temple. You pulled back and her eyes flickered to your lips. You slowly leaned in to kiss her before a voice stopped you. You could practically feel her breath on your bottom lip but turned to see the librarian.

"Sorry to interrupt ladies but the library is closed for the night. Head back to your dorms." She told us with a bright smile and you felt your cheeks heat up. Riri grabbed your hand before grabbing your umbrellas.

"Come on. Let's head back. We can watch a movie until we crash." She grinned and you felt her intertwining your fingers.

"Okay." You probably had the biggest smile on your face as you left the library.

I legit need some other x files (specifically my rare DRR fans)/one piece fan out there to validate my reasoning for a Robert Patrick/Silvers Rayleigh and Annabeth Gish/Shakuyaku fancast, especially bc there's that one chance someone can convince Steve Maeda if opla ever makes it to Fishman Island 30 years later

Polyphia’s Journey as a band

I created this blog to show where one of my favorite bands started and where their talents guide them to greater heights.

Polyphia

Polyphia is a primarily instrumental band based in Texas, the band formed way back in 2010. The group consists of guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage with bassist Clay Gober and drummer Brandon Bulkhalter.

Polyphia’s main focused on music was incorporating virtuosic guitar parts with other styles of music. The band’s early releases are initially rooted in a metal-focused tone, the band’s music evolved to a progressive rock sound in their later productions with the combination of electronic music and hip-hop. Polyphia has released four albums and two EPs and other singles. Their latest album, Remember That You Will Die was released last year 22nd of October, it was first to chart, debuting at number 33 on the Billboard 200.

The band achieved their first success after the guitar playthrough of their song “Impassion”, this song was from their EP Inspire after being viral on youtube. After that the band’s popularity has grown and they share stages together with other metalcore bands like Periphery, ISSUES, August Burns Red and many more.

As time goes by they develop their genre into a whole new sounding type of music, they broke out from their shell from creating metal and rock tones and started creating music that is more leaning on pop and rap music (trap, EDM, etc.).

Polyphia’s album New Levels New Devils and their EP The Most Hated are the best example of where their music has evolved. They start creating a more catchy type yet very technical kind of music, And with that they started getting more collaborations with several known artists and musicians like Ichika Nito, Yvette Young, Mateus Asato, CHON and Cuco.

In 22nd of September, Polyphia released the single “Ego Death”, the fourth song from their latest album Remember That You Will Die. The release was accompanied by a video which features the guitar virtuoso Steve Vai. The latest album includes more collaborations than their previous ones.

Polyphia Facts

In the year 2016 their drummer Brandon Bulkhalter decided to part ways with his beloved band mates, due to the fact that everyone else in the band, wanted to go for a less, over the top, speedy, shred sound to a more melodic, slightly softer sound. The band’s new drummer Clay Aeschliman fill the position.

Polyphia uses gears from Ibanez which lead them to their success as the brand’s endorsers, not just Ibanez but also brands like DiMarzio, Fishman, Meinl and TAMA drums

The Band’s name comes from the word “Polyphony”, meaning “music whose texture is defined by the interweaving of several melodic lines”.

Roleplaying Races 12: Sahuagin

 (art by joeshawcross on DeviantArt)

 We’ve touched on more benevolent fish-man races before on the blog, such as the locathah, but now it is time to cover one of their more vicious counterparts.

To be clear, vaguely Deep One-esque fishmen, many inspired by the classic Creature from the Black Lagoon, are a dime a dozen in fantasy rpgs. Hell, D&D had locathah, kuo-toa, skum, and today’s subject, the sahuagin, to name just a few, each one having a different flavor of fishman, ranging from sympathetic in the former case, directly Lovecraftian ripoffs with the kuo-toa and skum, and fierce predators in the latter case.

As it stands, the Pathfinder sahuagin are said to be a swift and warlike race that view all other oceanic life as either predator or prey, with the exception of sharks, which they share a deep kinship with. With that though in mind, one might assume that sahuagin are shark-men, but most art of them draws inspiration from other predatory fish outside of the clade selachimorpha.

Sahuagin as a figure in rpgs have writer Steve Marsh, who created them before joining TSR, to thank for their existence, citing an episode of The Justice League cartoon in the 70’s and Aztec architecture and clothing designs to from their aesthetic.

In any case, not much has changed about sahuagin since those days, as they are a classic brutish and violent “monster” race, albeit one suitable for aquatic and seafaring campaigns. That being said, I would love to see what a writer could do with fleshing out the culture of these so-called devilfish. Might they not be more than just a one-note species of baddies?

Another key trait of sahuagin-kind is that they are heavily prone to mutation, ranging from four arms to spines to being sightless predators to being large and powerful. The strangest mutation of all are the malenti, which are sahuagin that look exactly like aquatic elves save for their predatory sharp teeth, making them lethal infiltrators of their elven rivals.

Aside from their mutations, sahuagin appear to be tall, green-scaled aquatic humanoids with finned hands and feet, as well as powerful tails. Most art depicts them as somewhat hunched with forward-set necks and heads. Their heads themselves resemble predatory fish, particularly barracuda, though some are depicted as having catfish-like barbels near their mouths.

As mentioned above, sahuagin tend to view others as either predator or prey, (usually the latter unless they utterly outclass the sahuagin in question). This is likely born out of a harsh environment, suggesting an origin in a region of the sea with fierce and deadly predators both mundane and supernatural. Perhaps they were created as warriors for the aboleths, or they had a kraken living on their doorstep, or they have been at war with iku-tursos and the like. It’s abundantly clear that they value strength first and foremost. However, that does not mean that their society cannot have variance or change, as made clear by the settlement of Outsea, an artificial saltwater body found in the River Kingdoms, where a group of sahuagin invaders and the merfolk that came to stop them became stranded, and banded together, their communalism softening the bloodthirsty edge from what it once was.

 Sahuagin are strong and cunning, but they care little for social niceties.

In addition to their night vision, they possess the same electrosensors as a shark, letting them sense prey even if they cannot see them. However, their night-eyes are sensitive to bright light.

Their scales are also quite thick, making them quite durable.

While they can match most terrestrial beings on land, their real speed comes in the water.

They also sport powerful biting jaws and slashing claws, making them always armed.

What’s more, pain causes them to fly into a frenzy, becoming even more vicious.

Finally, they have the supernatural ability to speak with sharks, communicating simple telepathic directives to them.

 Of course, not all sahuagin are the same. Outsea sahuagin in particular might instead channel their fervor into defense, rather than attack, and even have picked up on their merfolk neighbor’s talent for song. Also, consider working with your GM to create homebrew alternate racial traits to represent various common sahuagin mutations.

 With their strength and wisdom, sahuagin tend to favor martial and divine classes, making barbarian, fighter, cleric, oracle, ranger, and shaman natural fits for them. Those seeking an even stronger bond with an animal companion (usually a shark) might go for hunter as well. Unusual as it is to think of, their lawful nature also makes monk a surprisingly good choice for them, as their aquatic subtype lets them use their claws and unarmed strikes in the water with no penalties. Alchemist and transmuter wizard are also good for those seeking to emulate a character seeking to perfect and utilize various common mutations. Charisma classes are not anyone’s first pick, but bloodragers and sorcerers with thematic water and aquatic bloodlines might be appealing regardless.

A Beatle, a Phish, a Police and Some Bad Company “Come Together” for WhyHunger

- “Drum Together” features more than 150 musicians, including 100-plus sticks men and women

Coming together for “Drum Together,” Ringo Starr, with a little help from 150 of his friends, raises money - and awareness - for WhyHunger on a Beatles redux like no other.

Running 10 minutes, this jazzy, drums- and percussion-focused fusion of brass, strings, guitars, bass and bash features appearances from Starr; Phish’s Jon Fishman; Police man Stewart Copeland; Simon Kirke of Bad Co. and Free; Yes man Alan White; Red Hot Chili Pepper Chad Smith; Cindy Blackman Santana; Jim Keltner; Vinnie Colaiuta; Kenny Aronoff; Liberty DeVitto; E Street denizen Max Weinberg; Steve Gadd; Pearl Jam’s Matt Cameron and many others in what’s being called “the greatest collection of drummers ever performing on one song.”

And while the too-many-cooks vibe is strong in this kitchen, the mission - “a musical and visual tribute to the power of community and a call to action” - is righteous.

“Funds raised will support WhyHunger’s work to end global hunger, tackle its root causes and invest in grassroots solutions to advance the human right to nutritious food for all,” organizers said in a statement.

"Am I going to turn into a fish?” Because yes that was Tony’s main concern right now. He liked his freedom, liked going away from the island if he wanted to. He had seen the strain it took on Steve’s body just to be away for five days and didn’t want to experience that himself. Though the rest of it didn’t seem that bad. Except for the eating raw fish part, that he could also live without.

“How many times do I have to tell you I’m not a fish before you stop calling me one?”

Or

Steve gets Tony out in the ocean and Tony finally gets to see Steve shift up close.

Imagine explaining to your man Kdramas:

This is a small drabble like a story for each man on my main roster. I love Korean dramas and I wanted to pair some dramas with one of the guys.

Enjoy and if you like some of the dramas mentioned here they are all on Netflix where I watch them.

Enjoy ❤️

Victor Creed:

This man lived some time in Korea and lived along with the Korean Empire in great secrecy but seeing you so immersed in your drama he is ready to roll up his sleeve and talk about his tales of Korea.

'And that's how my friend at that time Jeon helped me escape the death penalty.'

'But you don't have friends. You said that.'

'...'*modem ringing*

'Sorry.'

'You know what? You don't get to hear my other story that includes stealing a golden elephant with a secret clan of widows.'

'What?!'

'Noooooo.'

His favorite pick is: Nokdu

Loki Laufeyson:

Loki is frazzled to say at least when he saw you cocooned in your blanket with your coffee as you glued your eyes to the TV screen. It took a few good episodes to pass and an empty cup of coffee for you to notice a presence on the couch. Loki was a little mad since you absolutely 100% rooted for the good muscular actor as he played his part and you did yours which may or may not include some drooling and whistling. He waited for you to finish to hear the explaining he wanted to know so much.

'There is a special girl who is a Samjang and she meets a locked up God when she was a kid and then... They fall in love.'

'Can-can you repeat my love?'

'Oh, and one of the gods sells ice cream!'

'Once again darling... Repeat but slowly.'

His favorite pick is: : A Korean Odyssey

Thor Odinson :

You already know that this man is already on the drama-wave and he is nothing but a bigger fan than you. He lives to talk about the whole drama when you two finish it.

'This Drama! Was the peak of entrainment. The suspense, intrige, and oh soo more.'

'Oh and don't forget the secret brother twist.'

'Of course, when Tae-ho's ex-girlfriend boyfriend is his enemies secret younger brother that he sent to America to be super smart and zo come back so they can avenge their father.'

His favorite pick is: Last

Bucky Barnes:

Bucky is hella confused at the start but later he is on it and not letting go. His Netflix list is as long as his hair. And most of all he loves to draw parrel when you do a brief summary of the drama you two will watch.

'So you are telling me a rich girl paraglides into North Korean and falls in love with a stoic soldier.'

'Yes, but not by choice, a tornado swooped her out of South Korea.'

'So, like us.'

'Yes, minus the parachute.'

His favorite pick is: Crash Landing on You

Steve Rogers:

For Steve, it's a little hard to get adjusted to with you being all over the TV as you root for the main underdog girl that tries to win over her boss's heart who can recognize people's faces. Especially when he saw the main charted hovering over his on-screen ladylove. So he tries to copy-paste it.

'Y/n...'

'Yes, Steve?'

'Jagiya~~~'

'...HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH No.'

'Okay, sorry.'

Bless his heart.

His favorite pick is: The Secret Life of Secretary Kim

Jagiya is a Korean word for honey. I think so don't kill me if I'm wrong.

Bruce Wayne :

Y'all know my boy is ready to leap if you say you find an actor or location great in a drama he is ready to pick up his phone and call a few people to arrange a fan meet or travel to the location.

'I saw that the actor who played Park Hun in your favorite drama is landing here for a contract meeting.'

'How do you know that? I don't think that's public information.'

'... I-i just know.'

His favorite pick is: Doctor Stranger

Clark Kent:

This cinnamon roll is the best one to cry with more like on him. He is a great boy that will hear your cries over the deaths of the characters. He just radiates comfort.

'It's okay, Y/n. He avenged his brother's death and got a chance to reincarnate.'

'But-but his mother... I just want to hug her and make her tea.'

'I know sweetie.'

His favorite pick is: Along with the Gods

Not a series but a damn good movie I always ball my eyes on it. Highly recommend.

Arthur Curry :

Arthur is very much in the middle of it. Very well knows that being on your good side means appeasing your needs and wishes. But hooking this Fishman on your drama was easy as sinking the same hook.

'I like this one. When will the next episode come out?'

'Next Tuesday.'

*GASP*'Shut up.'

'I'm serious Arty.'

'Damn you scheduling system. Damn you!'

His favorite pick is: W

Orm Marius:

The ex-King himself finds weird comfort in the unsung heroes of Imperial Korea with the misunderstood King. And he is ready to sneak into the bathroom to gasp in secrecy at the episodes.

'Orm, come on lets go!'

'Just- 32 minutes until it ends, my world. I need to know if Prince Lee Hyeok will win the hear of the commoner Sunny. Like us.'

'What?!'

'Sorry, my darling I'm coming.'

His favorite pick is: The Last Empress

Joker(Suicide Squad):

This clown is frazzled by your state when you start your dramas but know very well not to touch the tiger when watching point of interest. But him being the needy person he will mostly sneak under your arm and as you to pay attention to him with no avail as your eyes still gaze at the action scene. His mild distaste is only that you pay much more attention to them rather than him.

'Y/n, why do you watch this police drama. It's not even that good.'

'You take that back my woman Ha Na and my boy Hyuk gave their all to capture the killer that killed her father and his wife with a kettlebell in the first episode.'

'Kettle ball you say? Maybe it's not that boring.'

His favorite pick is: Voice

Duncan Vizla:

This agent of absolute peace and carnage loves to watch them with you it reminded him if the times he was in Korea undercover killing a corrupt minister. He loves the thrill of the police dramas with the time travel twist as his top one drama and as well as yours.

'This actor Choi Jin Hyuk really knows how to act with the time travel twist.'

'True that's hard to act through. That's not everyday stuff. Do you think that time travel is real?'

'Of course, it's. I know it first hand.'

'How?'

'Well I got to be with you and I think the only plausible explanation is time travel.'

'Awww, Donut!'

His favorite pick is: Tunnel

Kdramas are a big part of my life and each of the dramas and movie listed I have watched and much more. Not to blabble long enough I hoped you liked it.

Wrestle Kingdom 11 (April 2017)

Tiger Mask is the persona of several Japanese professional wrestlers. The persona was inspired by the title character in Ikki Kajiwara's and Naoki Tsuji's 1968 manga series, Tiger Mask about a professional wrestler who was a feared heel in the United States, but became a face after returning to Japan when a young boy said that he wanted to be a villain like Tiger Mask when he grew up.

In the early 1980s, the bookers in the New Japan Pro-Wrestling promotion licensed the character and created a real-life Tiger Mask, originally portrayed by Satoru Sayama, to help boost their junior heavyweight division. In the United States, Tiger Mask was the first wrestler to simultaneously hold the WWF Junior Heavyweight Championship and NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship. Sayama played the role until 1983, when he left New Japan due to his hatred for the backstage politics of professional wrestling in general. As Tiger Mask, Sayama feuded with Kuniaki Kobayashi, Canada's Bret Hart, England's Chris Adams, Steve Wright and legendary Dynamite Kid, Mexico's Fishman and the original Black Tiger (see below).

In 1984, the rights to the Tiger Mask gimmick were bought by All Japan Pro Wrestling and given to Mitsuharu Misawa. Misawa also feuded with Dynamite Kid and Kuniaki Kobayashi, as well as Chavo Guerrero, Sr. and Atsushi Onita; he then moved up to the heavyweight division to feud, albeit unsuccessfully, with Jumbo Tsuruta and Genichiro Tenryu. In May 1990, after Tenryu left All Japan, Misawa gave up the mask in the middle of a match to wrestle as himself.

New Japan's Koji Kanemoto became the third Tiger Mask in March 1992, but was unsuccessful due to the dominance of Jyushin Thunder Liger. Kanemoto was never able to win a title as Tiger Mask, and eventually lost the mask in a mask-vs-mask match against Liger in January 1994.

Since 1995, the name Tiger Mask has been held by Yoshihiro Yamazaki, who was trained directly (and is officially endorsed) by Sayama. Tiger Mask IV, originally based at Michinoku Pro Wrestling, entered New Japan in 2002.

A fifth generation Tiger Mask, MMA fighter Ikuhisa Minowa, debuted on July 18, 2010 alongside the original Tiger Mask, Sayama, in a tag match for Maki Dojo.

In conjunction with the launch of the Tiger Mask W anime series, NJPW debuted Tiger Mask W on October 10, 2016, at King of Pro-Wrestling. This character was portrayed by Kota Ibushi and teamed with Tiger Mask IV in a match against Kazuchika Okada and Gedo.

In October 2018, Satoru Sayama announced the debut of Shinsetsu Tiger Mask, a student of his with Shinsetsu meaning "true teachings" in Japanese.

Sure, let’s get the wink-wink nudge-nudge out of the way first. Tiger Mask W is Kota Ibushi and Tiger The Dark is ACH. There, we exposed the business. Now can we just focus on how much fun this was, please?

This was pretty much everything I wanted it to be, aside from Yellow Devil running in and laying down the challenge to Tiger Mask for Invasion Attack. I don’t know if you’ve been keeping up with the Tiger Mask W anime, but New Japan went way further than they had to in the pursuit of making this feel like it was part of the show’s universe. For crying out loud, they got Haruna’s voice actress to introduce Tiger Mask in full Haruna cosplay. This is how Wrestle Kingdom STARTED, people.

Also, major props for making sure the Tiger The Dark’s moveset was authentic to the show. Both the Darkness Hold submission and the Darkness Driver tombstone were on display here, which is especially crazy when you consider that the Darkness Hold only debuted last episode and oh god I’ve become THAT fan. Still, if you know anything about ACH, this is probably his dream come true. “Please study this anime very carefully, because we need you to be the real life version of one of the characters.”

Tiger Mask is a Japanese manga series written by Ikki Kajiwara and illustrated by Naoki Tsuji. It was later adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation.

In the manga and anime, Tiger Mask was a feared heel wrestler in America who was extremely vicious in the ring. After returning to Japan, Tiger Mask joined the Japanese League headed by Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki (also Real Life wrestlers) who were then on the verge of kicking him out for his use of villainous techniques. Tiger Mask (whose real name was Naoto Date) was raised in an orphanage, and later joined Tiger's Cave (a criminal cartel whose main activity was to train young people to become Heel wrestlers) to become "Strong as a Tiger".

To save the orphanage where he was born and raised, he decided to go against the main rule of Tiger's Cave (all wrestlers must give 50% of their income to the organisation) and as such he was marked a "traitor" and other wrestlers from the Cave tried to kill him in the ring (while hired assassins tried to do the same outside of the ring).

When an orphan living in the same orphanage as Naoto started to take his heel persona as a life model, Tiger Mask decided to fight honestly in the ring, starting a series of confrontations that eventually brought him up against the Big Bad, the master of Tiger's Cave.

Most people outside Japan, though, only know Tiger Mask as a real professional wrestler from a fad in The '80s. While it only began as a homage and promotion to the fictional character, it grew into a popularity of its own, especially in the West, due to the memorable Dynamite Kid fights. Since then five wrestlers have adopted Tiger's identity: Satoru Sayama, Mitsuharu Misawa, Koji Kanemoto, Yoshihiro Yamazaki and Ikuhisa Minowa, in that order. (Before them, there was also Samson Kutsuwada in Korea, but that didn't spawn a continuous legacy.)

A sequel titled Tiger Mask W premiered in 2016.
