The Last Command era W.A.S.P.

[guysgirl-boymom]

I couldn't resist adding some new books to my Star Wars collection by shopping used @beachtownbooks ! First of all... PICTURESQUE location in San Clemente. It happened to be rainy that particular shopping day buuuuuut still a great vibe there. Not to mention delicious food surrounding the area! ANYWAY, loooooove hitting up @beachtownbooks whenever I can because I love walking through the stacks and stacks of books. There's a kids nook where they do Story Time weekly, as well as other weekly get togethers. And YES, that is a second choir of The Last Command because I'd much rather have more uniform-ish hardcover copies. #books #hardcover #beachtownbooks #starwars #thelastcommand #leiaprincessofalderaan #cloakofdeception #revengeofthesith #timothyzahn #claudiagray #jamesluceno #Matthewstover https://www.instagram.com/p/CnNTrz3SMBm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Red--” West halted as Ares grabbed him, feeling a jolt of fear. His companion was dangerous as all hell, he knew that well enough. Sometimes he was even a little afraid of him. Or afraid of the things he did. Could do. But it was a rage not directed at West, or at least not directly. He understood. He was angry, too, but they couldn’t take on a whole damn town. Best to leave it and move on.

“And then what?” West lowered his voice, not wanting to be overheard. He didn’t try to get out of Ares’ grasp. “Red, this town would turn on us. He’s got them so brain washed I’m surprised we’re allowed to leave at all. It sucks, but... It’s not on us, man. It’s not our responsibility.”

Generally West was the optimistic do gooder, especially between the two of them. But this was just too much for the pair of them. And if Ares really wanted to get rid of the sheriff...

“Look, I admire your sudden moral righteousness, but we can’t just go guns blazing. And I’m not letting you get executed for a crime and then some jackass just as bad take his place.” West sighed, “We can’t just kill the fucker.”

"big city, wrong choices." - @courier2lw

{ Redwood’s look of contempt was unrivaled. Anger. Disgust. Wrath. All of that was there in his eyes. Along with the drive to kill. To maim. }

{ What words West had to say, fell on deaf ears. Every ignorant to advice, Ares could care less about this city and it’s laws. It’s laws were meaningless. The Sheriff made it so . . . by his own corruption. He’s hurt many, many people, yet always appeared “virtuous” in the eyes of the public. Ares could not abide. He could not allow it to continue. }

{ He must end this monopoly on violence. With his own methods. }

“Out of my way.”

{ The mercenary grabbed West. His vicious eyes stared at West, almost like some hungry wolf disturbed before his kill. It was as if, Ares was ready to hurt West as well. Ares relented, but kept his objective firm. He wanted West to understand where he was coming from. }

“Someone needs to put him down. These people are blind. Cowards. It might as well be my burden. My action to take!”

Illustration by Tom Jung. “Star Wars: The Last Command.” April, 1993.

The first widely seen image of Mara Jade, on the book cover of Timothy Zahn’s conclusion to the Thrawn Trilogy, “The Last Command,” published by Bantam Spectra. The cover depicts Mara Jade dueling Luke Skywalker's dark clone, Luuke.

In addition to Jung’s infamous “Star Wars: A New Hope” movie poster, this legendary artist and illustrator created dozens of posters for Hollywood during his illustrative career. “The goal of poster art is to crystallize a film into a simple image – to catch a moment.”

The original art is currently housed at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Archives. The artwork is 27” x 36.75” and was created with acrylic paint, colored pencil, and matte opaque paint.

@the-last-command​ asked: For Christine Royce - ❛ I got no quarrel with you. ❜

Christine doesn’t lower her gun. The Sierra Madre is hell on Earth, and she’s its keeper. It’s where she stays to keep people out. She aims at his feet, ready to shoot another warning shot from where she is twenty meters away. Her voice is better now, though there’s no real need or use for it. Not when she’s alone here in the desert with nothing but ghosts for company.

She speaks though, and her voice is crackly and low from disuse. She speaks loudly so he doesn’t misunderstand: “Then go. There’s nothing for you here.”

@the-last-command​ sent:  “I understand. That’s how I reacted at first.”

“It doesn’t really get any easier, either. There’s so many constant reminders of what used to be... How is anyone supposed to move on? The rubble hasn’t even been cleared in most places, not like there’s anyone to do that anyways. I just wish that I could live one day out of the shadow of that godforsaken war.”

@the-last-command continued from here

{ Redwood’s sidelong glance lingered upon Warren. He turns to Warren, amused with the other’s veiled self-assurance. A faint grin appeared then faded away. Warren’s answer was once his, his chosen belief of what roamed inside him. Years of war, years of being alone with his consequences and sins destroyed that belief. }  

“Never been afraid? You’re a poor liar.”

{ The mercenary jested, awaiting Warren’s reaction and reply. }

Warren didn’t like the look flashed his way, nor did he like what felt like doubt from the old Ghoul. Fear, he thought, was nearly impossible to feel with his hardened heart. It was lost to him after his escape from the Legion, and instead replaced with the very darkness that Redwood accused him of being afraid of.

“I ain’t got nothin’ to lie about. Y’know that.” 

His arms crossed over his chest and his head turned slightly to look away to avoid the other’s gaze. “I knew what I signed up for, and I like what I do. So there’s nothin’ for me t’be afraid of.”

@the-last-command​  sent   2. an  abandoned  church  sits  desecrated  and  empty  ,  though  townspeople  will  tell  you  it’s  filled  with  troublemakers  and  squatters.  to  our  muses  ,  it’s  something  much  more  otherworldly.

The last report the NCR had gotten from their patrols was that the little one room church had been inhabited by Fiends. When Six cranes her head up to look at the steeple untouched by time, she remembers the scripture she had gotten from Joshua Graham. Something in her feels comforted to know she still has them.

“It looks abandoned. Like it has been for decades.” Maybe the reports were false -- one of the remaining few that had been sent in by the Legion’s spies. Still, they need to do their due diligence and check it out. It takes Six a moment to muster up the energy to take the first step up the small wooden stairs that protest her weight with a loud creak. No traps so far, but she can’t be too careful. The creaking wood seems way too loud as she tries the door -- unlocked.

“Did a lot of folks go to church back in the day?”

                ❝  Ow! Ow ow ow!  ❞ A bullet wound wasn’t anything new for Xavier, but one straight through the shoulder felt more painful than the others. Maybe he should’ve extended his ballistic vest to a ballistic shirt if he wanted to go to raider camps safer.

✖ How has Tumblr RP changed since you started? / ✂ A fandom that you feel isn't open and accepting? / ♦ What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise?

⚔️ Salty Af Munday Meme // ACCEPTING ⚔️

How has Tumblr RP changed since you started?

// I would say Tumblr RP has definitely gotten more... reclusive. People don’t talk the same way that they used to. I remember I used to be able to strike up a conversation with anyone in my old fandom. And I was shy AF. Even the popular blogs were so chill and friendly that you didn’t feel ANY fear going up to them and talking to them, assuming you weren’t being weird or creepy about it. People were just more social and generally connected.

// Now, it feels like a lot of people can’t be bothered to try. And I’m not talking about people who genuinely have social anxiety— I get that. Talking to new people can be intimidating, especially on tumblr, where there’s this silent unspoken idea that you have to try and mask yourself and any trace of your real identity in case some wisenheimer decides to cancel you and write a tend page twitlonger style callout post on how youre gaslighting your followers because you said you like grapes today when you said you liked oranges exactly 3.7562 months back. A lot of people have become anxious as a result of the volatile and unpredictableness of others. Online, tones are harder to read and a paragraph on text about the Mun in their rules (if they even have that) is simply not enough for most of us to know if we’ll actually click with them, or if that person is going to be trouble. It’s a guessing game, and for a lot of us, we’ve been burned enough times to not want to try and reach back into the fire.

// But back to my original point: there are just some people who are more than capable of putting in the effort and just choose not to. For some reason, they find playing footsie and pretending to be interested but never actually doing anything a way to save face or spare feelings. Please don’t do this. Just be honest if you don’t think you can work with someone or their plot or their muse. If they don’t freak out, then you both can stop stressing. If they do, then you can block them and say you dodged a bullet. As for others who just... ignore notifications and attempts to communicate but then have the gall to complain: to that I say, you reap what you sow. If you’re not going to put anything into this, you’re not going to get anything out of it.

A fandom that you feel isn't open and accepting?

// Jeez, I wouldn’t say I’ve been in all that many fandoms that weren’t open and accepting. I tend to hear things from secondhand accounts, peek for myself, then decide whether or not to be involved. Oo- I don’t know if it’s still as bad as it was before— I can’t imagine it is— but Steven Universe. Like not that long ago, it seemed like a fucking war zone. A lot of REEEEALLY bad shit happened. People got run off the site, people were stealing character designs, people did some... really mean illegal stuff, doing a lot of nasty nasty racist shit. Not to mention it got targeted by a 4Chan raid at some point. That, plus knowing some of the stuff the creator did, really put me off of the show. Which was really sad, because the show had a decent plot and a lot of important lessons. But I just couldn’t look at it the same ever again. And as for the fandom— definitely did not want to get involved in that shitstorm. I hope things have calmed down since then.

What was a mildly annoying thing that has happened to you rp wise?

// Most annoying thing? Ooo, I HATE. I HATE IT, when I find a really REALLY good blog that I look over, and I like the portrayal, and the rules page looks good, and it looks well-established (ESPECIALLY if it’s a blog for an older fandom that’s kind of come and gone) and it looks active, and then I follow, and then silence. Like they just bounced. And I’ll wait like a month or two to see if they come back, especially if they have other blogs, and they just... don’t. My God, that is the woooorst. I had that happen recently— it’s happened so many times and I get so saaaad. ;w;

[themetalscience]

On November 9, 1985, W.A.S.P. released their second studio album, THE LAST COMMAND. In an attempt to achieve a broader audience, the band hired QUIET RIOT's producer (Spencer Proffer) as their sound engineer for the recording process, which resulted in a more accessible sound than their self-titled debut. THE LAST COMMAND was eventually certified gold and the band quickly became one of the most popular metal acts of the 1980's (touring heavily with the likes of KISS, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden). #wasp #waspband #thelastcommand #wildchild #glammetal https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp_DgFJgvtj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n23j6bf62bhb

🏡 - Naomi misses her hometown, like a lot, more than she thought she would. She was from a small town, almost everyone knew each other, and of course that meant most people could very easily recognize the strange child Naomi with her glowing golden eyes. The being known so easily combined with the occasional school bully is something she definitely doesn’t miss. 

What she does miss was the grocer knowing her favorite kind of cookies and helping her sneak those into her gran’s cart, the small playground where she would swing as high as she could on the swing set then jump off (which may or may not have lead to a broken bone or two), the 5th grade English teacher who helped her realize just how awesome creative writing was. But most of all she missed the warmth of her gran’s home, the fireplace, falling asleep on the couch with a half finished cut of hot chocolate during the colder months. 

She misses home, back when things were simple, and she knows there’s probably no going back to that. 

🍬 - Gran never kept the fact that Naomi wasn’t blood related from her, hell as soon as she was old enough to understand her Gran sat her down and explained the whole being adopted part. She didn’t however, really go into the fact of who Naomi’s birth family was, though honestly Naomi wasn’t too interested in that knowledge anyway. Gran was the one who raised her, and she already figured that the likelihood of finding said family were low. 

She doesn’t know though that her birth family didn’t really put her up for adopted as they left her to die- but semantics, yeah? 

🤲 - Naomi was never really raised with religious beliefs, sure she heard about it and looked into it herself on occasion, but she’s not generally a religious person. 

Gran might’ve been slightly religious in some way, but knowing that Naomi was a vampire she didn’t want to risk taking the poor child into a church and have her immediately catch aflame. That wasn’t going to happen either way, at most it would just make her uncomfortable, but you can never be too careful with a vampire kid.
