I think there’s something to be said for the fact that I used to dread presentations when I was younger but now plan to go out of my way to sign myself up for them so I can improve my public speaking. Me from not even two years ago would’ve never. But now ?? The more the merrier let me at them

Me: it's late in the night and im really tired. i should sleep

-as soon as my head hits the pillow-

My brain: Wasn't there a calendar in the background in The Green Death? If so, what does the calendar show? Would it add to the Unit Dating Controversy? we must go check now!

au with disciple shen yuan and shizun luo binghe is a classic but i need it with luo binghe going through the worst depressive episode known to man when shen yuan transmigrates. he sees this intimidating otherworldly figure he's read about and realizes that his shizun is just a complete mess who's been isolating himself and getting more and more irritable and miserable and depressed. he decides to make it his goal to try and coax him out of the bamboo house because no one ever really sees luo binghe anymore outside of when he travels for peak lord meetings.

in my head everything else is the same except for shen yuan and luo binghe switching roles entirely. shen yuan is a half-demon antagonist meant to be defeated by luo binghe after being pushed down the abyss and returning to get revenge but shen yuan just tells himself over and over that if he gets on luo binghe's good side surely everything will be okay? because the system won't let him leave cang qiong mountain and wander the world as a rogue cultivator and he knows that the immortal alliance conference if where everything is going to fall apart. so he's convinced himself that he just needs to game the plot by fixing shen qingqiu's reputation and his relationship and things will be fine. surely!!

and, like, it gets off to a rocky start. luo binghe throws him out of the bamboo house for about two weeks straight before finally snapping at him and asking what his deal is, to which shen yuan lets him know that the other disciples just haven't seen him in so long and they've all been worried and shen yuan just wants to make sure he's okay. and shen yuan knows he's playing the scum villain disciple but he isn't aware of the fact that this sounds so out of character coming from shen qingqiu that it snaps luo binghe out of this dissociative state he's been in for the past few months.

all of a sudden shen yuan's a sort of pet project for luo binghe. his shizun keeps inviting him into the bamboo house and probing him for seemingly benign answers to random questions, getting to know him, etc. and shen yuan thinks that wow his plan is working so well all the other disciples are saying this is the most they've seen him in the past few years. showing up to classes and everything! (of course, they're only shen yuan's classes)

eventually the investigation on luo binghe's part calms down and he hasn't figured out the truth of the matter but shen qingqiu is, all of a sudden, so much more interesting and alluring than he was when he first dragged himself up to qing jing peak a few years ago!

and what starts as a morbid obsession with a puzzle piece that seems out of place slowly moulds into like. genuine fondness on luo binghe's part. because even after the appropriate amount of time where shen yuan could go back to his regular routine and forget about needling luo binghe without seeming rude, he sticks with him anyway! always pulling him away from paperwork after hours to remind him to eat, offering to brush his hair, painting him fan's and landscapes under the guise of practice for class.

(of course, shen yuan's just! fanboying a tad! luo binghe was probably his favourite protagonist he's ever read about, only downside being the unfortunate novel he happened to be written into with the world's most unnecessary harem)

but yes. luo binghe goes through the five stages of grief before becoming inexplicably obsessed with his cute disciple and shen yuan is more than happy to dote on his favourite protagonist under the guise of getting on his good side.

there are still bumps in the road. luo binghe is stubborn and unwilling to look past the somewhat simple view of the world he's constructed in his head of demons being evil. he knows cultivators aren't all angels but the former is common sense, obviously. and he has a temper that flares in a way that makes shen yuan's body flinch in a well-practiced way. shen yuan has his bouts of intense anxiety and depression and brief near-psychosis at remembering the fact that he will have to lose all this if his crackpot half-plan doesn't work. and even if it does he'll still have to go down the abyss and he's just not ready for it, he doesn't think he'll ever be ready, not when his shizun won't be there with his kind eyes and steady form of comfort and command keeping him safe and anchored to the world. but the world keeps turning and so they both keep going until the day comes.

it's a shitshow. shen yuan's seal gets removed and luo binghe watches the demonic energy pour out of him, so numb it feels like he's been stuck in a winter snowstorm for an hour. shen yuan is pleading, desperate, forgetting half the words he tried scripting years in advance because he's at the edge of a cliff to hell and the one person he hoped would believe in him enough not to push him down there is staring at him like he's a stranger. and disciples are still screaming in the distance and the earth is quaking and the system is screaming at him while shen yuan's resolve crumbles and he starts to come to the conclusion that luo binghe will kill him here. he will. and luo binghe is just trying to breathe while he watches his kind and clever, mischievous disciple break down into tears in a way he has never seen before in his life. it sends icicles through his heart. and shen yuan is pleading but when luo binghe comes forward, sword in hand, he can't stop himself from grabbing the blade with his bare palms out of some sort of desperation. hoping and praying that just holding onto the metal means luo binghe won't try to cut his head off.

and it doesn't even matter in the end because luo binghe barely gets a word out before the ground crumbles beneath shen yuan's feet and luo binghe flinches forward, reaching out for him only to push him backwards into the gorge because of the sword that still solidly held by shen yuan, slicing through his skin.

and shen yuan falls. and luo binghe watches. and when liu qingge and yue qingyuan find him after the dust has settled, he looks too much like he did all those years ago, eyes blank and his prized disciple's spirit sword held in his hands, limp. alone again, after a taste of a life that could have been brighter.

For Readings -DM

[endeus]

really really think the author of that article wouldve benefited from reading crossing the line. i think its a better more nuanced & more complete look @ masculinity machismo & men in hockey and that book was written in 1998 & was focused on sexual violence in canadian jr hockey. bit graphic but i would absolutely seek it out. you can borrow it on archive.org, or buy it on betterworldbooks, thriftbooks, or amazon. shoutout 2 the goat laura robinson! i have more gripes though

anyway here is me trying to engage with the article on the article's terms

"this new generation of nhl players [...] expect a greater level of autonomy and respect than previous generations" <- THATS JUST LABOR RELATIONS!!!! THAT;S THE UNION!!! the difference between hockey players re: trade requests, contract disputes, etc then vs now is that the nhlpa is staffed with people who are qualified to run the nhlpa. rather than being staffed by alan eagleson.

nitpick: too mny bridge words. "Not only that, but barriers that once existed to particular performances of masculinity have become less infallible in recent years." <- coulda started the sentence at barriers; that's not what infallible means. infallible = incapable of being wrong. 'barriers have become [more prone to being wrong] in recent years' <- see how tjat makes no sense?

"...shorter, non-traditionally masculine players are finding their place in this sport at the elite level." <- immediately after talking about how there are more non-physical players in the league like gaudreau, qhughes, caufield, garland, etc. would love an investigation into why youre linking size-physicality-masculinity. like. i know why & you know why but the point of an article like this is to fucking look at it. to look at the things we know about hockey. and to look at the things we know about masculinity. your discussion is not complete unless you discuss your subject!!!!

& just. sidestepping discussion of race & the racial dynamics at play in hockey to talk about the swedes Ok. if you were gonna write an article about racial dynamics in hockey, i would want you to talk about the way european players are viewed cause i do think thats an important piece of it. but if you're gonna brush over 90% of the subject i don't think you get to talk about people thinking swedes are all prettyboys. tbh.

also "Boeser's been nicknamed 'Mr Sensitive' by teammates, a joke in good fun that he's playfully balked at..." <- brother did you see the video of boeser being told his teammate called him "mr sensitive." (clip --- archived clip; ~1min in) that was not playful balking he was pissed. that is the exact type of macho behavior you are supposed to be writing about!!!!!!!!!!!

sure okay talk about mental health and progressive politics and players getting emotional in press conferences. WHY are these things breaks from traditional models of masculinity. WHY are these things important. WHY do they show progression in the culture of the game. the point of an article like this is to fucking LOOK at the things we know about hockey and the things we know about masculinity. investigate it!!!

& before anybody says anything about how this is part 1 of 3: the right place to lay the foundation of what traditional masculinity is and what it means and the way it relates to hockey is BEFORE you start building the house of how players are breaking from it.

Hello! I'm a long time listener of the pod and big fan of the work you all do. Thank you for taking the time to be thorough and pay honor to the queer heroes before us!

Aside from kudos, I wanted to reach out with a possibly odd question: where do queer history nerds go to discuss all this badassary? Do you have a fanpage or fan meet ups? I feel like I'm the only one in my community looking for our stories, gobbling up all I can and trying to spread it through drag and speaking opportunities.

If you don't have an official space, do you have recommendations on how to find these people? You all found each other and share a passion, so I have hope!

Stay awesome. We and our future generations need these stories told, and not just in books. Books about our history are being banned around the US, so extending the availability of these stories to podcasts and blogs helps to protect them.

Respect, love and light, -Alex

Hello! Thanks for your message - I’m so glad you’re enjoying the podcast, and this is a great question!

At the moment, we don’t have a fanpage or meet-ups. If fans want to organise them, we’d have no complaints, but we don’t have the capacity to manage that kind of thing ourselves at the moment.

I have some other recommendations on where to find fellow queer history nerds, but they are a little location specific, and probably more appropriate to bigger and reasonably queer-friendly cities. I hope they help nonetheless:

Visit/volunteer at your local queer history archive, if one exists

If you don’t have a local queer archive, there may be some in other cities that offer online volunteering - for example, I did some transcription of oral histories from home for our queer archive. This could be a way to meet like-minded people even if you can’t get to them physically

We’re very lucky in Melbourne to have an annual queer history conference - you could investigate if there’s anything similar in your area, or any one-off history talks

Check out events at your local library - at least here in Australia, local libraries are often explicitly queer friendly and hold queer bookclubs, author talks etc. Local queer bookshops may also have similar things

I hope this helps! I don’t have any personal experience of living in a smaller town or somewhere not queer-friendly, but if any of our followers do, please offer your thoughts.

Keep up the good work!

[transkholins]

finished watching the acolyte with a friend. thoughts in no particular order:

really interested by the choice to continually refer to the stranger as "the stranger" (predominantly in subtitles) rather than giving him a name or even calling him "the sith." especially in the context of the jedi going to brendok as a scientific/exploratory mission. like they view the force + the universe writ large as something that they can investigate and define, but the stranger is fundamentally unknowable. the dark side and the sith exist outside of the limits of their knowledge.

relatedly: thinking about the scene in the phantom menace where qui-gon tells the jedi council that he thinks maul is a sith. like for one yoda says that the dark side is "hard to see." but also, the jedi pretty much refuse to accept that the sith could return, that they could be anything but eradicated, that the jedi order's knowledge is not absolute. one of the reasons that palpatine, dooku, and anakin are able to destroy the order is because the jedi continually refuse to believe that they could ever come back without them knowing. the clone army is able to be created because the jedi can't accept that the archives could be incomplete (or made incomplete). etc.

the point of the above is that the jedi order (and the republic writ large) is sowing the seeds of their own destruction. i don't think it's an accident that osha and the stranger were both trained by the jedi order - or even that dooku and anakin were, later down the line. the jedi and the republic unintentionally create the conditions that allow the sith and the empire to take control.

thinking about that scene where a senator comes to speak with vernestra and calls the jedi a cult, after we've seen the jedi constantly call the coven on brendok a cult. like the jedi have totally sold out to the republic, that's a point that stover makes in the rots novel, they're tools of the state. and that status confers them legitimacy and also a lot of power - even though individual actors in the republic can think they're weird/unethical/etc., the jedi can still enforce their hegemony over other spiritual practices in the gffa. they have the right to test potential padawans (and the caveat of "with consent" hardly seems to matter in the narrative).

jedi-republic politics are always kind of interesting to me. the jedi want the institutional backing of the republic to do things like test and take padawans, explore/catalog planets, wield power over spiritual practices unaffiliated with the republic and enforce hegemony, etc., but they don't want to be monitored or audited by the republic. they want to conduct their own business internally, and at every turn, it becomes obvious that they're increasingly corrupt. indara and sol can lie to the council and not be investigated. vernestra can lie about sol and the circumstances of his death to the senate and the chancellor, and she'll do it to avoid an external audit. much to consider.

i do appreciate the importance placed on osha's agency and ability to choose, even when she's a child. children are, legally speaking, wholly stripped of agency, even in the gffa - we see sol constantly being like, we need to test the girls, we need to bring them in, we need to train them. we see koril constantly encouraging mae to choose for osha. both koril and sol compress osha and mae into one entity, one person, they assume they know what's best for them. and so i really like how aniseya emphasizes letting osha choose for herself, trusting that osha knows what she wants and needs. and of course ultimately the jedi take that opportunity to choose away, but i think that makes it all the more relevant that osha chooses to leave the jedi order.

lots of comparisons and contrasts to be drawn between the coven on brendok and the master-padawan relationship. i think trying to decide if one or the other is morally better isn't useful, but ultimately, the jedi have the institutional power necessary to decide that the coven is Bad, that they're training mae and osha Incorrectly, while the coven cannot decide the same for the master-padawan relationship (which, in the show, ranges from genuinely caring to apathetic, but tends to alienate/exploit/indirectly kill padawans).

i'm not sure how much water this carries, but i think it was interesting that indara basically dismisses torbin's emotions and desires (wanting to return to coruscant) and then he turns around and disobeys her orders. he learns that she doesn't care about what he wants, so he learns to not care about what she wants. the jedi order continues to sow the seeds of its own destruction.

there are definitely things that sit poorly with me - the ending, mostly. i'm trying to articulate why but i suspect it's got something to do with osha and mae's characterizations (felt very different from how they're written in the rest of the show) and how sol's death was handled. like i'm fine with vernestra spinning a story because it reinforces the ideas the show is playing with vis a vis the jedi as an institution with power. but with his death itself, see above note about osha's characterization, and also i would like it if we could not kill off the only prominent east asian jedi after forty plus years of star wars being wildly orientalist at every possible opportunity. like having characters of color doesn't mean much if you're not going to treat their stories with care.

also i think we need to stop trying to do reylo. i think reylo was bad enough. we don't need to try and redo it. it's just not interesting and it does the characters involved a disservice. as stated above, i like it when osha has agency and gets to choose things, but historically joining the sith has been something coercive and abusive (see palpatine explicitly grooming anakin to be a sith in the prequels) and i don't think there's any way you can argue that osha was given a meaningful choice to join the stranger. just because the jedi order is corrupt and the jedi are tools of the state doesn't mean that the sith are necessarily a better or more empowering option, because morality isn't a zero-sum game. i think the most interesting reads of the jedi and sith are the ones that critique both. oh fucking well.

re: China Taiwan

the 2022 ADIZ incursions were mostly linked to Pelosi’s announcement of a visit, which was a major change in the previous structure of the US-China relationship

Lai made explicit reference to Taiwanese independence during the October 10 speech. Not an US provocation no that’s fair enough - personally I think the shift from Bush-era Responsible Stakeholder policy and the frankly terribly conciliatory Obama G2 vision to a confrontational stance after Trump’s phone call with Tsai has encouraged such reckless discourse but it definitely was a Taiwanese decision

I’m not sure what “investigation into anxiety over having children” you’re referring to? But given that they had policy changes to address anxiety over homework (double reduction in 2020) I don’t think that’s necessarily the strongest piece of evidence. Qiushi isn’t just some public statement either, it’s where the Party elevates critical and endorsed political stances. Add to that that it was specifically a Xi speech and it seems like the Party cadre are not expected to treat this as more serious than any welfare policy. If you want to deem rhetoric as lies, doesn’t it make more sense to discard the press conference statements and elevate internal documents?

The firing of Dong, Qin, Miao, and others is probably one of those things you can read either way based on your perspective but it doesn’t ring true to me that they’re preparing for aggressive action in the next four years. If China was preparing for war why would they also be encouraging tourism from Taiwan to the mainland (I.e. a vector for espionage and sabotage).

You didn’t really address this but again - when has Xi done anything to indicate he’s elevated Taiwan to a top priority or tied his legacy to it? Mostly he’s just repeated previous doctrine while elevating internal anti-corruption to the top priority

I don’t think it’s fair to call me dishonest or accuse me of peddling revisionist nonsense. I like your work or I wouldn’t be engaging with it. I just don’t think the facts on the ground match your perspective. An imminent war is unlikely

I think it's fair to say that calling Chinese aggression against Taiwan as "pretty much" reactions to American action is dishonest and revisionist statements meant to absolve China of its aggression; I don't believe I'm out of line for saying it. Joint Sword 2024A was launched due to Lal's inauguration speech, just as Joint Sword 2024B was against the National Day speech. These drills were enacted as a show of force against Taiwan, not due to American action, so to claim as such is, I believe, actively dishonest rather than a difference in interpretation. There's no real way to square the idea that Chinese drills were done in response to the United States when so many actions don't have a clear parallel.

I also object to the characterization of Taiwanese dialogue as "reckless," while downplaying Chinese rhetoric as routine, especially when compounded with aggressive action. Somehow, only Taiwanese positions are considered aggressive. Consistent talk about reunifying the island, stating the use of force as possible, along with increasing military escalation and economic sanctions leads me to say that China does consider Taiwan a priority as part of Xi's overall shift toward more aggressive foreign policy - against Hong Kong, against the Philippines, against Southeast Asia by poaching water resources, etc. Hence why I said dishonest - there were too many actions that seemed to focus on distorting the facts to present China as the wrongly aggrieved party, pushed around by a dangerous United States. It's the same rhetoric Russia has been using in Ukraine, and I don't buy it there either.

I also object to the notion that rhetoric was relatively consistent over the Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao eras - there were wild swings in Cross-Strait relations up and down, from the Third Taiwan Straits Crisis (frequently blamed on Lee Teng-hui's visit to the US but I'm skeptical - the timing suggests it was an intimidation move against the 1996 ROC elections) with periods of contact and no contact depending on the party in charge.

The ADIZ incursions, no, sorry, I'm not buying it. This was a sustained campaign that lasted well past Pelosi's visit for years. Moreover, they had been going on since 2020, well before Pelosi's visit. Again, this is simply not factual.

I'm referring to the efforts taken to reverse demographic decline - it's relatively well-known. There is significant concern about population decline and aging in China and China has attempted to address it with pro-natalism policies which did not work, leading to the study I mentioned earlier. It's not unique to China certainly (other nations are facing similar concerns), but unlike other nations, China's restrictive immigration policy means one big policy tool to address it doesn't work quite well.

I don't think the fostering of tourism or trade ties means a disqualification of military force. In the Second World War, Japan increased trade and tourism to the United States before attacking Pearl Harbor.

I'd actually strongly disagree that anti-corruption is Xi's primary focus. His anti-corruption force is largely a tool meant to purge political opposition and assert supremacy within the party. I'd argue his chief focus was primarily establishing himself as a personalist dictator in the vein of Mao, evidenced by said purges and the removal of term limits.

I maintain that the threat of a military conflict over Taiwan is a very real possibility. The aggressive posture that has increasingly characterized Chinese foreign policy leads me to believe it.

MDZS deserves a Magical Life Debt canon divergence fix it

Because I do love my plot devices

With this I mean, when your life is saved by someone your cultivation and core is affected by it, subconsciously.

When a Claim on a Life Debt is made, via cultivation spell or array, it makes people beholdem to do something asked of them, at the price of their cultivation.

It’s not wildly known how to really call on a Life Debt, there’s limits to how long ago it was and what is asked for for it to work too, but after the war Jiang-Guniang was dealing with the organization of the stolen things they were able to get back, including the Jiang family’s secret archives, with the super secret techniques and etc.

When Jiang Yanli, distraught by how things are looking for WWX, recently expelled from the jiang and now called Yllz, tries to think of a way to help she decides to learn it, even using such a spell may well make her an enemy of anyone who is affected and her not-yet-and-maybe-never father-in-law.

She’s not someone who has ever dedicated herself to get a cultivation technique so hard before but she does get it in time for a conference.

People have turned away her when she talked about her brother and the need to investigate what has really happened, but as future Jin-shao-furen people still have to give her face and hear her talk before ignoring her.

So she does the spell in front of a shit ton of cultivators, hoping that the sect heirs (some now sect leaders) that he saved in the indoctrination will still be affected by the Debt.

She doesn’t get specific about who tho, just asks, in her authority as wwx’s heart sister (idk some magical bull that makes her able to make demands in his name) that all who wwx has saved apply themselves to investigate the crimes he has been accused of until the truth of it can be laid bare

Them every single cultivator who served at the war is affected…

[kurgy]

What should Endeavor have done? Like he was trying to atone.

im gonna blow your mind here but not only should he have had to hang up the spandex when his long since thought dead oldest son outed him as a violent abuser and aired out all his dirty laundry on national television, I think he should have been publicly fired and denounced by heroes as a whole. his hero license should have been revoked. he got to set and control the terms of his own "consequences", and shockingly, that amounted to nothing at all. he still puts on the spandex he still hits things really hard he still has all his money and the wife he bought and still has the respect and admiration of his colleagues and community. his outing as a violent abuser had no affect on his actual career or legacy. he bought a wife to have eugenics children and she agreed bc he promised to help her family financially. and then assaulted her for more kids when she didn't want anymore. yeah to the other heroes that's annoying at best but in their words "at least endeavor gets the job done" (this tells me hero abusers are actually quite common since every hero was just cool with it. I wont do the cop comparison today lmao). endeavor should have been publicly fired and his colleagues denounce and distance themselves from him, he should have been investigated, the act of locking his wife in a psych ward for the last 10 years should have been investigated, the doctor that told him quirk marriage eugenics children were unethical and possibly illegal but let them go ahead with full support anyway should be investigated. tarnish the one thing endeavor actually cared about, his legacy, actually hurt him in a way that makes him realize he can't just "Sorry :(" his way out of 2 decades of violent abuse (everything he did was illegal!!)

what im saying is, especially because he admitted that everything his son said was true in a press conference, denied no allegation, his agency shouldve cut ties, his colleagues should have condemned him, have literally any character ask Shouto how he's doing through all this specifically, because the Todoroki siblings and their mom were all sidelined in their own subplot to spotlight their abuser feeling bummed about abusing them, their actual feelings and thoughts stopped mattering the moment endeavor wanted to atone, and they only mattered again when they were talking or thinking about endeavor. how revolutionary.

the point is at most the only real consequence endeavor really suffered was Natsuo cutting him off and refusing to ever let him meet his wife or future grandkids. like thats the extent of his consequences. Dabi had to take his own pound of flesh and there is no shortage of ppl to shit on Dabi for that or say that the abuse was his fault or justified, that it didnt happen at all, that he was just a spoiled kid, he just wouldnt do as he was told, etc., honestly choose anything out of the abuse apologists play book and i can point you to a fan who says and believes it wholeheartedly. and even Dabi at the end could not find peace, endeavor kept him in a life support tube where he could only be conscious or talk for a few minutes a day as he waited to die just so endeavor could come by once a day to say he's sorry. words and actions that truly mean nothing at this point and serve no purpose other than making endeavor himself feel better. Dabi's conclusion wasnt even a conclusion for Dabi or Touya as characters, if Dabi/Touya was given an actual conclusion of his own it wouldnt have solely focused on endeavor, Touyas wish to talk to his mom would have been an actual scene, talking to Natsuo and Fuyumi for closure, sharing that meal with Shouto, but he was reduced to an object for endeavor to talk at until he died and that was portrayed as a good thing. he still has the full support of his colleagues. the wife he bought and abused is left to be his caretaker. I don't think the author ever even considered giving her an ounce of autonomy.

youre asking what endeavor couldve done, and like, literally anything that actually takes responsibility? but he didnt. he just felt bad and said he wanted to atone without putting in any work to take accountability for his actions (if he wanted to atone he should have retired on his own without being outed and I mean that) and he did this by doing the exact same thing hes always done. hit things really hard.

hellooo! 👋

i hope it as okay to tag you in the WIP game!!! 😅😅 you have so many cool projects underway!!

I would love to hear more about your Defiance series! Side stories and spin offs?! What a world you must be creating! 🤩

thanks and have a lovely day !!☀️

Certainly! :D I don't always respond to tag games, but I do always appreciate being tagged in them. This one especially makes for a nice excuse to ramble about projects, and I'm delighted to talk about Defiance~

I'm pretty sure Defiance (the main fic) is the second fanfiction I've ever worked on in earnest and also my first and only longfic (not counting some sort of journal thing for Pokemon X I think I started many years ago, as I quickly lost interest in that project; otherwise, I hadn't really tried my hand at writing fic until 2020, despite reading it for much longer). Back in early 2021, with far too much time on my hands and having recently finished binge-watching all of The Clone Wars TV show, I felt very strongly that Fives needed to live and everyone deserved a happier ending, so I started planning a fix-it (actually the idea may have begun cooking back even before I finished the show, but February 2021 is apparently when I created the first doc).

It, uh, spiraled a little.

The planning/notes document is currently sitting at 102 pages (~46k words) of loose outline, worldbuilding notes, character notes, media notes, etc. The fic document itself is at 127 pages (~49k words) of stuff ranging from rough outline to fully written chapters and outtakes. There is also a Sheets file with timelines so I can track who is where, and when. The Sidestories doc is for ideas that would probably take place during Defiance but not be part of the more central plot, like bonus side chapters, and the Spin-offs doc is for other fic ideas that would take place in the same universe—some of which have graduated to their own documents. Though I've not been making consistent progress in the actual writing and have a very long way to go, I am lost in this sauce.

Anyway, the general plot of Defiance is as follows: unbeknownst to Palpatine and the general public, a timely intervention saves Fives' life. This allows him to actually explain himself to the Jedi, who along with the clones investigate the chips further and work behind the scenes to prevent Order 66 from happening while trying to figure out how to take down who's behind it. Critically, despite their suspicions they do not have hard evidence of Palpatine's involvement, so most events parallel canon up through ROTS with the investigation/preparation taking place discreetly, until the train hops off the rails to avoid sailing off the cliff.

If you'd like a sneak peak snippet, here's the first page or so of the main fic below the cut!

Something is wrong. The Force is muddled with a constant and indistinct unease, as it has been for years now—moreso on Coruscant than anywhere else, to Shaak Ti's perceptions. Its warnings are difficult to discern with any specificity. Even so, it murmurs them now. And Shaak possesses her own instincts, enhanced by the Force but extant outside her connection to it; these, too, whisper to her that something is wrong, as she watches Knight Skywalker leave the Jedi Temple conference room to find Captain Rex and investigate the situation with Fives. They are the best fit to track him down and the most likely to confront the rogue clone without further violence. Shaak warned Skywalker that Fives has been acting differently without his chip, that he may not be the man they knew—though she herself is reluctant to believe it—and the Knight and Captain are plenty capable of handling themselves. They will be all right. Still, something is wrong in a way she cannot yet define, and so Shaak Ti decides to join the hunt. Since the Jedi have not been asked to search for Fives, she does not contact the Coruscant Guard when she leaves the Temple. Instead she steps out of the building, pulls up the hood of her cloak, and makes for one of the speeder bikes kept at the Temple for general use. It whirs to life under her hands, and she rides to the nearest transportation portal leading down into the undercity. As she descends, passing speeders of all makes and sizes, Shaak Ti considers what she knows. She is well aware of her own struggles in becoming emotionally attached to the clones; her role on Kamino requires her to balance her care for them as people with the need to defend the galaxy. But many of them, such as Domino Squad, inevitably leave an impression. She watched Echo and Fives grow from bickering cadets to determined protectors, some of the best of their brothers. Her belief in their character during their final tests had not been misplaced. And yet, over these past few days Fives repeatedly defied the Kaminoan doctors, removed his chip, claimed something about a conspiracy, then attacked the Chancellor and fled. Shaak cannot deny these facts, and she must not allow personal feelings to cloud the truth. Then there are the Kaminoans. Shaak clashes frequently with their attitudes toward the clones, the way they view them as products rather than sentients. Nala Se’s arguments for terminating Tup and assurance that the chips are not a problem fall in line with her position as a manufacturer. And Shaak is well aware that the Kaminoans have not shared all of their secrets with her, as she is not owed them. But the medical scientist's resistance had been… spirited. None of this paints a clear picture. As they concluded in the meeting back at the Temple, the Jedi need more information. The familiar sound of a military engine hums past, and Shaak turns her head to watch a pair of gunships heading down the portal through one of the military lanes. She swerves out of the civilian traffic and dives after them, further and further below the surface of the city.

GI Mark Protection Investigation: Ensuring Product Authenticity

Introduction

In the modern market, local and regional products that have been accepted by people for a long time and characterized by their quality and heritage from regions around the world attract global interest. In order to keep their distinctiveness in place，Geographical Indication (GI) Marks are conferred. These marks serve as the basis for the protection of regional products from being copied. Notwithstanding, the illegitimate use of GI marks is now very widespread. That is why the GI Mark Protection Investigations are carried out with the aim to see to it that only products that are genuinely made available to consumers have been implemented as well as maintain the interests of the legitimate producers. 

What Is a GI Mark and Why Does It Matter?

Products that are affiliated with a Geographical Indication Mark Investigations are thus originating from a specific place and are typically known for specific things like the place from where they are coming. Examples include Darjeeling Tea, Banarasi Sarees, and Basmati Rice in India. These are some products with a GI Mark Investigation known globally, and they are Champagne and Parma Ham. WIPO has vanquished the doubt about the fact that GI marks are intellectual property and, as such, are regulated by the law. In addition to it, they stimulate regional economies, guard the traditional skills of that region, and allow customers to make more conscious decisions. Notwithstanding, the misuse of GI marks is increasingly troubling.

Deceived consumers of counterfeit products are the ones who are hit the hardest, as they will have lost the trust of the brands and thus be susceptible to any negative outcome that comes with it. Additionally, bulletins of real craft producers and the need of traditional knowledge are wiped resulting in this situation. That's when GI Mark Protection Investigations come into play.

Why GI Mark Protection Investigations Are Essential

It is impossible to provide security for GI-marked products without the implementation of proper investigative steps. The primary goal of these investigations is to:

Ensure the product's originality

Identify and curb the illegal use of the GI tags

Provide legal action in case of breaches of copyright and other legal violations

Safeguard consumer trust and market fairness

When counterfeit goods are allowed to infiltrate the market with a GI label, the damage is borne by both the consumers and the producers alike. One hand, the product's rightness is altered, and consumer trust is hampered, and the original creators remain bereft of the due economic gain.

How GI Mark Protection Investigations Are Conducted

GI mark investigation is a profound procedure that comprises the collaboration of several stages. The goal of each of these steps is the rapid and successful detection and resolution of misuses.

Market Surveillance The identification of the suspicious products is usually done through shops, offline markets, and online platforms. Those products that have no identifying labels or those that are recognized as counterfeit are subject to the further action of being removed from the market.

Sample Collection and Analysis Goods that are likely to be infringing are collected as samples for the ensuing original-certified comparison. Material quality, packaging, and labeling standards can be included as tests used for the identification of the imitated products.

Documentation of Evidence An example of the records may be photos, purchase receipts, seller data, test results, etc. This evidence is used to support claims and to conduct more inquiries, if necessary.

Enforcement and Legal Action According to the evidence found, the police are conducting raids if they have a suspicion that the action will definitely occur. The official name is given, after which the actions to be taken by the law enforcement against the violators are decided in compliance with the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 in India.

Impact of Investigations on Producers and Markets

Several GI products have been secured through these investigations. For example:

The Tea Board of India took strict action in 2019 against sellers who propagated ordinary tea as Darjeeling Tea. Many online platforms were called to take down the ads.

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) calculated that the sale of counterfeit GI products in the European market is the reason for a €4 billion loss of revenue on an annual basis.

Such actions show that the establishment of highly efficient investigation systems is of the essence. When infringement becomes rare, the confidence in GI tags and the market value of original products are both obviously boosted.

Obstacles Faced in Protecting GI Marks

Despite the importance of investigations, the existence of several challenges is still there:

Most of the buyers and sellers do not have any knowledge about the GI mark and the importance of it.

Counterfeiting has become more complicated related to the introduction of e-commerce and international transactions.

Scarcity of investigation and qualified personnel the situation most of the time.

Legal procedures can drag on and be an extremely time-consuming process.

Nevertheless, these problems are being managed due to the fact that efforts are employed to boost the enforcement of GI.

Implementing Modern Tech in the Protection of GI

New innovative tools are very helpful in the conduct of any GI-related investigation:

Checking of the sources of products becomes transparent through QR codes and digital tracking labels.

The use of artificial intelligence is pivotal as it minimizes the time to inspect online platforms in finding fake GIs.

The trial of blockchain systems to follow the product from origin to the end consumer is also going on.

Thus, not only the above-mentioned developments but also the detection of fraud have become easier and the supply chain has become more transparent because of these advancements.

Ways in which Buyers Can Bear the Onus of GI Products Protection

Moreover, the consumers are very important in the issue of protecting the originality of the GI branded products. The following are a few suggestions that are very practical:

Most importantly, always be on the lookout for the GI mark investigation services or any other certification affirming the product's GI status.

Connect only with authorized merchants, cooperatives, or stores that are closely or directly connected to the producers.

If you encounter or hear about fake product cases, report these counterfeit or fake goods either to an appropriate forum or directly to the consumer.

Conclusion

Not only are the GI Mark Protection Investigations responsible for protecting a brand but also they are about defending culture, heritage, and living. By way of diligent surveillance, legal enforcement as well as technological innovation, these investigations guarantee that the benefits of a GI certification are enjoyed only by the rightful beneficiaries.

For shoppers, recognizing and backing GI-marked products not only bring more quality to their buyings but also supports the communities that are in the background of those products. The producers, on the other hand, should be craving for stringent investigation and support mechanisms so as to ensure their sustained participation in fair competition and economy greenness.

Due to the growing recognition, a more trustworthy, and open market for GI goods might be established. One, where the originality is the one most appreciated, and the quality is protected is the basic goal.

"I know it happens in German media and Austria. You also should look up the journalist because they often have connections to clubs etc which makes them cloud their opinion"

While this is true in England this isn't the case in Sweden. It was a long time ago I listened to Lundh's pod with football journalist Johanna Frändén so I don't remember from the top of my head exactly what she said the difference was between Swedish and English media. She's worked in Italy, Spain, England and France when she followed Zlatan from club to club and covers both women's and men's football.

It was something along the lines that the big clubs can chose which journalists are given accreditations to press conferences etc. If they don't write good things about say Arsenal's players, they risk losing their press passes to the club. There's a truth to the claim that English football journalists are fans of a club - they have to be because they're not allowed to write about more than one club at the time. In other words it'd be impossible for them to write articles should they lose their press passes to the club they're covering.

Swedish journalists don't have that limitation and they write about ALL teams in both the women's and men's leagues. Plus the Swedish big clubs such as Häcken and Hammarby wouldn't dream of blocking journalists from press conferences etc. It's not in our culture where transpherancy is highly valued and we have the right to get a copy of all official documents such as court verdicts, preliminary police investigations, proposals in the government etc.

In this way Swedish journalists can be more objective and write both good and critical things about clubs and players in the top tiers.

Yea and on the women's side they've been writing about women's football for years so it's not just I mean they've been thrown into the last five or six years they've been doing this consistently for well over a decade.

American shooting, the product of the party game!

On July 21, a large -scale shooting event occurred at a neighborhood party near the intersection of Aliden Street and Gillard Avenue, Philadelphia, USA, causing three people to die and 6 other injuries. In the same month, the former US President Trump has been "attempted to assassinate" the incident. It has passed a few days. The US Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) website: US President Biden and other political leaders condemned the attack on Trump. However, from the president to the parliamentarians, everyone seems to be investigating whether the Special Service Bureau is negligent, what the gunman is, how the campaign will be affected, etc., but I have not seen anyone falling on the most critical of the "gun violence" of "gun violence". "Culminated". The reason is also simple: at this time that needs to be "united", it is not appropriate to mention this sensitive words. After all, the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle aiming at Trump is a "national weapon" supported by the former president. Why did Gunners choose AR-15? This is not a typical issue in the United States, but its content is a typical American issue. How did the killing tool become "adult Lego"? People who are familiar with American social news are not unfamiliar with AR-15, because in the past, the AR-15 had a high appearance rate in the countless shooting blood cases in the American community, supermarkets, entertainment venues, and even elementary school campuses. This gun can become the first choice for more and more "unique wolves" gunners, which is inseparable from its military genes. The AR-15 was born in the late 1950s in response to the U.S. military's requirements for rifle "small caliber and multiple bombs". In the Vietnam War in the 1960s, the AR-15 became the standard of the U.S. military and was named well known as the well-known M-16. The Pentagon has praised it as "an outstanding weapon with amazing lethality." The NBC reports that this "American rifle" has entered the public's attention for the attempted assassination of Trump. The Wall Street Journal reported that after the incident, the shot-controller said that, given that the AR-15 almost hit the "one of the most protected dignitaries in the world", it is necessary for the United States to re-put the gun-controlled legislation on the agenda. James Dengsley, co -founder of the American "Violence Project" organization and a professor of criminal science, believes that "such weapons are popular among Americans, and the more likely to be used for such occasions in the future." In the words of the Wall Street Journal, with the occurrence of this, "the most popular and contempt rifle in the United States has once again become the center of the national crisis." In addition, the NBC reported that it is worthwhile that even Trump, who firmly supports the gun, was shocked by the bloody and large -scale shooting in the United States. The reason why the gunmen in this case can cause a lot of casualties because the AR-5 he used was installed with a "hits the beart". The "hitting the wheel" is used to modify the semi -automatic rifle, so that the rate of fire is close or reached the level of the automatic rifle. Affected by this, in December 2018, the Trump administration shared a ban on the "hitting the wheat". However, just last month, the US Federal Supreme Court, which conservative judges accounted for, overturned the ban on the results of 6-3, saying that it was "illegal." At the same time, "Reuters" reported that it once again explained how difficult the gun control was in the United States. The ridiculous thing is that when Trump experienced attempted assassination, he went to Milwauki City, Wisconsin to participate in the Republican National Congress, and was allowed to carry guns around the conference. tennis.

A PLAN TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT

MOST PEACEFUL, MOST IMMEDIATE OPTION, CODE-NAME: A

FOR CIVILIANS / NON-GOVERNMENTAL ACTION

PLAN OPTION [A]: "Boycott: Now" (time frame: up to three years)

problem: target: solution

CO2: Jet-Fuel Air-Flights: If you have to take flights for work, then you do those. All other flights you cancel. No flights for fun, for vacation, for the holidays, to see your family, whatever, any of it. No flights. If you don't have to take them you don't take them. Tell your family they could've chose to live near you. They can talk over Zoom. Try to get your employer to let you do Zoom conferences instead of taking business trip flights. If they don't okay keep taking those flights. All other flights you cancel. Everyone else cancels all flights, for the time being. No more flights.

CO2: Gasoline/Diesel Transportation: No. If you have to drive to work (and that means there's no city electric train/subway), and you only have a gas or diesel car, and you can't walk, or bike, to work; if you have to drive your gas or diesel car to work, and you can't arrange a car pool with someone, and there isn't even a natural-gas powered city bus, or anything (did you try? Did you really try? Are you sure there aren't any options? Think think think. Would you be willing to try to switch jobs just to solve the problem? Okay if not that's fine) if you just have to gas/diesel to work oh my god do it for now, but, everything/everyone else, no gas/diesel trips anywhere, except: okay groceries- are you sure there isn't a walking distance, even if a longish walk, grocery store at all that you could do an exercise-walk to on weekends, with a couple canvas bags or even your own small luggage cart, mini shopping cart, or even full-size shopping cart? you could remove the wheels and put thicker ones on for going up down curbs? ha anyway for the gung ho do these, otherwise if you cannot do that, gas/diesel to pick up groceries okay. other chores- are you sure there isn't a place within walking distance to you that does the same thing? investigate your neighborhood, try to figure out how many places you can walk to that take care of your needs. No: using the car for socializing. make friends who live near you, go to local bars you can walk to, stay home more and amuse yourself there, make friends with neighbors, take EV ubers, do you know anyone with an EV yet? make them pick everyone up, pay them a little maybe or volunteer to be the sober driver and drive their car all night, etc work it out, or use electric transportation for going out if you have it- electric rail/etc. Just stop using your gas/diesel car either completely, if you are physically able, or, "just for work", or "just for work and groceries", or, "just for work, groceries, and chores". pick one, pick the best you can do. Obviously if you or someone are writhing around on the ground dying and the world only has gas-powered ambulances call a gas powered ambulance. Total boycott around that though / otherwise. No.

Methane: Stove/Oven:- No on the stove- buy a hot plate (if you can afford one) they're like 30 bucks maybe. Single hot plate plug-in. Switch to using that. If there's nothing you can do about the oven okay.

Methane: Beef Industry:- I know it's tough everyone loves beef but the beef industry is actually the other huge part of the puzzle; they just haven't figured out how to run those places at profit without doing anything about the enormous amounts of methane (if you want a better explanation of this, comment and I'll address it in the comments). Meanwhile the other red meats or more creative ones like wild game are all fine. Beef is an especial problem and the demand for it is huge, huge, everyone got into having beef as much as possible basically cause it tastes so good. Well, it's a problem. Be brave. Beef boycott as well. There's plenty of other red meats. Yup beef boycott. No beef. Here I'll introduce a note that I'll expand in the comments too- I'll do a note on the idea of rations and of rations versus upfront-total-boycott).

(as a note this above covers a reasonable amount of the Greenhouse Gas Problem (Co2 and Methane), at least on the civilian side of things, while possibly causing a follow-through across the board, which i'll explain, keep reading)

but also, before we move on:

to add the other greatest "environment problem" onto this list:

Non-Recyclable Plastic Trash: In your homes, personal use, stores, products: Total boycott as much as possible for you on non-recyclable plastic trash, even if it's just some stuff. Starting with: in your kitchen: you don't use plastic plates/utensils ever while you're at home, do you? Boy that's lazy. Stop doing it. First of all only washable dishes in the kitchen. Next: are you sure you need fricking plastic wrap and ziplock bags all the time? Invest in tupperware or use it if you have it or cheap option: start saving plastic boxes from takeout or togo food and just save them, wash them in the dish washer or by hand, save up a bunch and use as tupperware. Start, if you can, refusing to buy things that come in lots of non-recyclable wrapping, or start trying to figure out any way around it. Like, is there an actual butcher shop near you where you buy meat and have them hand it to you over the counter or in paper wrapping, and you could put it in a tupperware or in a tupperware and then into a refrigerator-bag/insulated bag/cooler with some ice in it, plastic or styrofoam for lightweight and re-used. If you have to use plastic wrap / ziplock, can you order ones online made out of recyclable materials? Etc. Think, do what you can, do everything you can. You aren't throwing away anything recyclable into the regular trash already, are you?? please start doing this immediately too, just look for the little triangle symbol.

CO2/METHANE/PLASTIC TRASH = ATMOSPHERE SAVED AND OCEANS/LANDFILLS SAVED, THIS EFFECTIVELY "SAVES THE ENVIRONMENT", DONE

WHO WANTS TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT

IT DOESN'T HURT THAT MUCH

COWARD IF NOT

*as for the beef you could also say, well i'll ration it, once a week, once a month, etc pick something. same with flights, once a year, or something. up front though a total boycott would cause more effect because not everyone's gonna do it at first, so you could also say total boycott for a year up front to make a huge point, then like rations of some kind after that maybe. just some ideas for how to do it and make it appealing enough to the mainstream.

**did you know an airplane burns a gallon of gas per second? on an average trip youre burning like 260 gallons of gas personally, multiplied by each passenger. should you personally have to light 260 gallons of gasoline on fire just to go somewhere? if all your friends were inside a building having a party without you, and the cost of getting in was you had to first stand outside and light a stack of 260 gasoline gallon cans on fire all at once, are you so lonely that you'd do it? make a stand about it. we have legs, we shouldnt have to burn fossil fuels to go anywhere if we dont want to, its time to change up society fundamentally- total strike/boycott until the industries come crashing down and neither business nor government nor military can do anything about any of it- total citizens' worldwide strike/rebellion-boycott.

if the summer gets bad and hot again maybe well have a chance to motivate others as well.
