Are we really supposed to believe that a skrull would pretend there legs are not working so close to death?

[feybeasts]

F-3Y‘S brain basically got partially wiped, so how free-will do they still have? I.e how much of them is a pure war machine?

Oh, I’m all me! Well- the me that… exists now. I don’t remember how much of me is left over from when I was human, but it’s not like I got reprogrammed or brainwashed or nothin’- honestly, I just remember being… freaked out by the whole process of my body becoming this, and some corporate goons yammering on about “legally binding contracts I signed” and stuff. The corp did some nasty stuff in making us, but I guess the credit I can give them is this- they didn’t brainwash or… reprogram… anyone to do it. Which seems… dumb of them, but I’m grateful for it…

Chapter 1: Brief

Survivors. All those remaining, by chance, survived. Political outrage, civilian forfeit and the dark three years since the rumbling stole a lot for the twenty percent of the population who lived to see another day. The ship was landing, the queen would guide her cohorts and a new chapter would begin.

 —

Well within the walls did the wheels bring them to, and by nightfall there was a celebration to mark the anniversary of all branches of the military unifying under the land of Paradis.

A lone soldier, a warrior, a person once cast aside and laid with the burden that only he thought he could atone for. Sins were the tragedies he still couldn’t courage forgiveness; but it got easier. He had backup, he had been given another chance and now found himself strolling about the very place he once betrayed. The very place he felt that accepted him for who he was.

The land he prayed to return to, the land he wished for. The place he sought in his dreams when he would then awake in a dull bedroom in the midst of another war front for Marley. A once Vice Chief Braun was a Warrior, but at heart he was always a soldier. He had returned back to his own Fennario.

His heart lunged from his chest as he marched down the cobblestone road, aiming for something particular only to him when a boom burst through the air and exploded, but there was no fire. There were shouts, awe circumvented through the crowds that were placed by some kiosks along the streets.

The soldier’s leg gave in, his hand raising over to grab the vest buttoned over his chest as a rumble vibrated throughout the stoned walkway. Another, and his eyes shot up to see fire crackling in the air, falling, but not landing near him. His knee snapped in another direction opposing how he intended to send his boot down in, and another thunder of fire clapped and sparked above him. His hands flew over his head to block the flames from landing onto him, his breath hitching and forcing him to hold back from any release. His lungs started to burn, and he felt his cheeks flush red as he started to hurry toward his destination. Another crash of light and the screams of awe pierced him. Reflections along the buildings cast lights around crates and other abandoned festivities that had happened earlier in the day.

A celebration to fit for the anniversary. He felt his body inevitably lunge forward, and without thought his arms were hovering over the back of his neck at another crash. He couldn’t save himself this time- he couldn’t save anybody else. Mortality was an exceptionally odd thing to accept after these few years.

Did anyone tell him that there would be fireworks tonight?

There must’ve been a mistake when a hand so politely pressed against the knelt soldier’s body. There was no rush to hide from the line of fire, no trance of panic. To think, the only people running nearby were the pitter-patter of children’s shoes as sparks twinkled from sticks that were held in their hands.

No. He was stuck in the battlefront huddled in his mind. A gentle tug, and the man looked up to see a concerned brunette looking down at him. She had obviously taken notice of the blonde’s strange behavior and taken initiative.

No words, just a concerned look. She pulled her hand from his shoulder and instead, flipped her palm upward to the sky and held it pointedly in front of him. Another crackle, and he shuffled uncomfortably, his eyes shutting as he lurched his hand into hers. With another tug from her, he pulled himself up to his feet.

As we marched down to Fennario As we marched down to Fennario What will your mother think when she hears the guineas clink The soldiers all marchin' before you-o? Sweet William is dead and he died for a maid The fairest maid in the are-o If ever I return, all your cities I will burn Destroying all the ladies in the are-o Fennario. Fennario.

She spoke and told him to focus. His legs dragged behind her despite her stride being much shorter than his. His stomach churned, his temples throbbing in pain by how tightly he had shut his eyes through the works of fire in the sky.

He returned to the land that broke his heart. Returned. Except the flames that emptied within the nation in fury had turned into comical opposition. The flames flew into the stars beyond now, but then, they crashed and smoked the grounds he stepped on. He continued to lag behind in memories, but now at least there seemed to be a hand that would drag him out of the war zone.

A door shut, and before he could realize, he was sitting with a cup of tea cradled in his hands.

“I’m Janette.”

i had this come to me in a dream after watching this video and came to the conclusion that Hyperion is like Tesla in the Borderlands universe

the Cybertruck is like the BNK-3R but if you made it an attempt at a war marchine

[ramblingsfromthytruly]

i watched the imitation game today and why the fuck have i never heard of alan turning before if he was so pivotal in ending world war 2? if he's the reason around 14 million people survived, why is he not a part of every school's history curriculum and most people's general knowledge? i've learnt about tons of euro-centric issues and details of the world wars but never heard his name before? he was a well-kept british government secret until he was publically "pardoned". why you may ask, oh well he was convicted of "gross indecency" for being a homosexual in 1952.

now i know obviously many people do know about him, at least in the last decade, i mean computers fucking originated from what is called "turing marchines" and he's considered the father of ai but i just can't help but think about how his name would have been everywhere before that and been considered a "war hero" of the highest degree simply if he wasn't gay, which doesn't even have anything to do with his mind and his accomplishments...

If Joe Biden's wife, whoever she may be, told a kid that she wished Santa for peace on earth liberals would shit on her for not supporting the American war marchine and military–industrial complex hard enough.

TW: death, corpses, mentions of war

A cart of bodies was pushed by, pile covered by a singular tarp. His gut churned at the thought of being there himself, rotting in this hell. Knitting his brows in an attempt to steel himself, Elias followed the rest of the fresh meat as they meandered towards their own premature deaths.

Also thanks @roofgeese for sharing this song with me like a year ago. It's lent itself to this new retelling of Grave Bound perfectly.

Soldier keep on marchin' on Head down 'til the work is done Waiting on that morning sun Soldier keep on marchin' on

Head in the dust, feet in the fire Labour on that midnight wire Listening for that angel choir You got nowhere to run

[ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐭𝐡 ] : sender drapes a coat / cape / etc. around receiver's shoulders. ( cmere neph lets be friends ♡ )

For you, I would

Her cloak has sure seen better days. Clumsy stitches mark places where it'd been torn--she never could sew quite so well as Ma. There's a few stubborn stains on the hem, too, from marchin' through muddy terrain durin' both wars back home.

It's a piece of fabric, a mighty shabby one at that, but it's served her well enough so far, so who is she to waste it when it's still perfectly usable?

Though faced with these freezin' temperatures, Nephenee considers investin' in somethin' more substantial. Her shoulders shake 'neath the thin material while standin' guard 'round their little camp. Student trainin' exercises outside monastery grounds require a group of Knights accompany them, even if it's as simple as campin' overnight.

A fine policy, in her opinion. Maybe she's a bit overprotective of these kids, but she wouldn't want her own siblin's wanderin' around at night alone.

Another shiver sends her whole body tremblin'. She should ask one of her fellow Knights if'n she can borrow one of their capes--

Weight descends across her shoulders. Nephenee turns her head, only to be tickled by a line of fur. She wrinkles her nose, lookin' up 'n findin' one of the students. A mage, if she recalls, though her name escapes her.

"Ah....thank you. Sure you ain--won't--get cold without this?"

I know they’re not a prevalent as they used to be, but I’d love to see an AMV set to Phil Ochs, a known figure in the folk music scene but very obscure outside of said scene’s “I ain’t a Marchin’ Anymore” with the Fate and Trigun series as at least part of it, as part of the chorus is “It’s always the Old who lead us to the Wars, always the Young to Fall, now look at all we’ve won with the Saber and the Gun, tell me, was it Worth It All?”

I think Phil Ochs deserves more recognition for his work. Just my personal rambling

So! Some songs for my main girl (beloved darling of my heart), Astala Tabris

Hit Like A Girl (Meet Me @ The Altar)

Got strength, no brute

Nothing to prove

They just don’t know about it

Got grace and truth

It’s nothing new

They just forgot about it

The Wedding Feast (Bonnie Grace)

In my mind and heart, this is the soundtrack for the wedding before everything goes south

Warrior (The Phantoms)

The drums of war are beating

At the end of it all

The last light is fleeting

As the Shadows fall

But still we’ll stand up, we’ll stand up, we’ll stand up

Soldier (Tommee Profitt & Fleurie)

Soldier keep on marchin' on

Head down til the work is done

Waiting on that morning sun

Soldier keep on marchin' on

Welly Boots (The Amazing Devil) aka Astala’s issues with her mother in a nutshell

“How could you leave me here?" you'll scream

And louder, I'll scream back to you from that unknown

And say

"I know you're strong enough

I know you're strong enough

I know you're strong enough to do this on your"

And a bonus one for Zev and Astala:

Dust to Dust (The Civil Wars)

Let me in the wall, you've built around

And we can light a match and burn them down

And let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flames

In front of us

Dust to dust

More OCs over here!

Today Robbie Robertson turns 80 (born July 5, 1943). To acknowledge the day here is the 2019 video for "Once Were Brothers" his musical reflection on The Band. ______________________ Once Were Brothers Songwriter: Robbie Robertson

When the light goes out And you can't go on You miss your brothers But now they're gone

Mm, uh... When the light goes out We go our own way Nothing here but darkness No reason to stay

Oh, once we're brothers Brothers no more We lost a connection After the war

There'll be no revival There'll be no one cold Once were brothers Brothers no more

When that curtain comes down We let go of the past Tomorrows another day Some things weren't meant to last

When that curtain comes down On the final act And you know, you know deep inside Theres no goin' back

Once were brothers Brothers no more We lost our way After the war

Can't even remember What we're fighting for But once were brothers Brothers no more

We already had it out Between the north and south When we heard all the laughts Comin' out of your mouth

But we stood together Like we were next of kin And when the band played dixie (Dixie, dixie, dixie) Dixie marchin' in

Once were brothers Brothers no more We lost our connection After the war

There'll be no revival There'll be no encore Once were brothers Brothers no more

AOT Playlists

This is the final post of the aot playlists I had in my archive. Unfortunately, the other characters weren’t fully fleshed out, so I will not include them.

Marco Bodt, Sasha Braus, Historia Reiss, Bertolt Hoover.

Marco:

Down In A Cold, Dirty Well - Justin Nozuka [This song always reminds me of Marco. Mostly his death, unfortunately. ‘Dig me my grave, I won’t be saved’ and ‘The louder I yell, the deeper I sink’ both could fit to when Reiner, Bertolt and Annie refused talking and took his gear, leaving him defenseless.]

Still Feel - Half Alive [Not to be that bitch, but HALF alive. Dare I say more. Marco still has a huge impact on the story, at least for Jean’s character. I felt this song was representative of that, along with Marco’s death feeling unfinished, or without closure, since it was during an exposure of the warriors. Even though the song means it metaphorically, it felt appropriate. Imagine Marco singing this. Good content.]

Remember Me - Anadel [Back with another song talking about Jean and Marco, but this time with Annie and Reiner, who I'd argue are also haunted by Marco's death almost as much as Jean. The others have mourned and moved on, but Jean still thinks about Marco even after all these years, and I will YELL FOREVER ABOUT IT. 'Memories of darkness obstruct your view in the light' feels like a nod to the way the warriors and Jean both remember his death often, from whatever their perspective was. And in all their cases, I think it's easy for them to get trapped in either the regret of what happened or the regret of not being there, along with the hopelessness of the war. 'So remember me, write my name on a stone but don't let me hold you back from it all' feels like Marco's words to Jean, but also to the warriors. Marco isn't the type to hold a grudge, or at least he never made himself out to be. Even in the last moment where he was being betrayed, he asked for them to talk. I can't imagine Marco would've felt different than the 104th when they were faced with the traitorous acts, since he also grew up with them in the past few years. It wasn't personal, Marco was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. 'Don't pretend you're in this alone' fits to either side of the war. No matter what, everyone's got someone. Reiner and Annie have one another to regret and mourn, Jean has the 104th.]

Sasha:

Eet - Regina Spektor [No, not eat. This is a little thing, but I couldn’t help but include this song. It holds a likeliness to Sasha leaving behind her old ways of living, hunting and living off the land with her family and closest neighbors. ‘It’s like forgetting the words to your favorite song, you can’t believe it, you were always singing along’. Sasha didn’t want to let go of her traditions. ‘You’re using your headphones to drown out your mind’ can stretch to say that Sasha’s 'headphones' were essentially joining the military. Leaving behind the changes, her accent, her village, her family and her way of life. We don’t have a solid reason as to what Sasha joined the military was for, so maybe the fact that she didn’t want to accept the change at home so she left isn’t such a far fetched idea?]

Marchin On - OneRepublic [This song best reminds me of Sasha mostly in the way she's remained the same goofball, unchanged throughout the series. She's mostly got a happy vibe about her, optimistic, even when things are bleak. She's the character that I think has shown the least hurt, despite how much there is on the inside. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm open to opinion, but I still argue this song fits her. 'There's so many wars we fought, there's so many things we're not, but with what we have, I promise you that we're marchin' on'. Like I said, I think Sasha's the only character I've noticed that doesn't let everything take her hope and happiness. The horrible things she and her friends have done and seen, even 'til the end, she's stayed the same person. Very strong. 'We're not what we've seen'. But, of course Sasha's had her moments! As everyone has and will, which is in the line 'We'll have the days we break and we'll have the scars to prove it, we'll have the bombs that we save, but we'll have the heart not to lose it'.]

Daddy Lessons - Beyoncé, The Chicks [It would be a disservice to Sasha to not include this song, I simply had to. To start us off, 'Daddy made a soldier out of me' which could be compared in a literal and not so literal sense. He taught her to hunt, which definitely helped, but she made herself the soldier. The whole song is about a father who taught his daughter to be strong and tough all on her own, while also having a sense of family and compassion. I just love this song for Sasha, especially with her accent and hunting lifestyle that she tried to hide.]

Historia:

Warrior - AURORA [’I cry for the world, for everyone’ while Historia was acting as Krista, she played herself to be some sort of martyr. Once she revealed herself as Historia, she stopped acting as though nothing bothered her and started living for herself, she became a freer person, as can be compared to in the line ‘I can't recall last time I opened my eyes to see the world as beautiful’.]

Bertolt:

Running Up That Hill - Placebo [I really enjoy this song for Bertolt, even though I can't link many of the lyrics back to him very well. I feel like it's him talking to Armin, or really, any outsider to a Marleyan warrior. They don't understand what he's going through, what he has to do. I say Armin because Armin now shares a special bond with Bertolt that others don't, and that's the Colossal Titan. For the chorus, I feel like Bertolt would want to bargain that way, in order for them to understand why he has to do what he has to. 'Tell me, we both matter, don't we?']

[moonshadowed]

Now let's talk about the Temporal Cold War, can we talk about the Temporal Cold War, please, Tumblr, I've been dying to talk about the Temporal Cold War with you all day, OK?

Shadow Boy, this name keeps coming up over and over again. Every day Shadow Boy’s timelines are getting sent back to me. Shadow Boy, Shadow Boy, I look in the Temporal Observatory, and THIS WHOLE WAR IS SHADOW BOY! So I say to myself, I gotta find this guy! I gotta go up to his century, I gotta put his timelines in the guy's goddamn hands! Otherwise, he's never gonna get them and they're gonna keep coming back down here!

So I go up to Shadow Boy’s century and what do I find out, Tumblr? WHAT DO I FIND OUT?! There is no Shadow Boy! The man does not exist, okay? So I decide, "AWWWWW SHIT, buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper. There's no Shadow Boy? You gotta be kidding me! I GOT TIMELINES FULL OF SHADOW BOY!” All right. So I start marchin' my way down to Jonathan Archer and I knock on his door and I say, “ARCHER! AAARCHER I gotta talk to you about Shadow Boy!” And when I open the door what do I find? There's not a single goddamn chair on that starship! There... is... no... Jonathan Archer, Tumblr, half the galaxy in this timeline has been made up. This timeline is a goddamn ghost town!
