Eazy-E and The D.O.C.

[heckcareoxytwit]

Jeff the Land Shark was forcibly bonded with a stray Symbiote. At first, Jeff did not like to have a Symbiote stuck on him until he and the Symbiote found something in common - their love for food. Thus, Jeff (and his Symbiote) went into the carnival where he gobbled up every food he finds. Then, Jeff's buffet day is interrupted by a wave of Symbiote/Zombiote invasion in the carnival. Not wanting to have his day disrupted, Jeff goes around beating up the invaders left and right thanks to his Symbiote suit. Then, as the portal opens, out pops America Chavez, Kate Bishop, Fuse and Gwenpool, who came out to investigate what's happening in the carnival. Seeing the chaos in the carnival, Kate Bishop and her friends join in to help Jeff to fight off the Symbiotes/Zombiotes. While they are fighting, Kate Bishop and her friends are trying to figure out what to do with the Symbiote/Zombiote invaders. America Chavez suggests for fire but Kate and Gwenpool disapproves of the fire idea, knowing that it would destroy the carnival and kill the Symbiote-hosts. Then, they decided to go with another solution - loud noise from the stereo. When America Chavez teleports to fetch a stereo, Kate and her friends round up the Symbiote/Zombiotes. As America Chavez arrives with a stereo, she and her friends turn on the loud music, forcing the Symbiotes/Zombiotes out of the civilians. After saving the civilians, Kate Bishop and America Chavez ask Jeff whether they could play loud music on him but the land shark refuses as he prefers to part the Symbiote with his own terms.

“I want to break you just like this, in the palm of my hand. For the simple reason that you let me, and because I could”

A tilt of his head, “Would you let me?”

“Would you do it?” - Or; "You're so pretty"-ing your way into your co-workers pants

Like my entire academic career, I present my Christmas gift in the final hour: Jassad has hit the Pentagon

Kendrick Lamar, GNX

New music Wednesday

This album is probably the blueprint for rap’s next big era. The Compton rapper’s brilliant sixth LP is a trippy, danceable odyssey through the ego death of a hip-hop authority. Clocking in at a modest runtime, GNX packs an astonishing punch, showcasing his knack for playing in a league entirely his own.

I love the snow! ❤️❄️It's cold but white and bright and fun. I don't get an excuse to tromp around in it as much as I'd like, but maybe someday I'll move somewhere a little more snowy so I can enjoy the winter that much more.

How are all my fae friends today? The week's halfway done, can we all relax yet?

WIP Wednesday 6/14/23

In which Knight-Commander Theoven Derenge completes Greybor's companion quest.

CW: Canon-typical violence, suicidal ideation, physical pain as relief from emotional pain...OK yeah this is dark sorry :(

It takes much longer to return to Drezen than it took to leave it. Your wounds throb even as you feel them buzz with chaotic energy, turning your usual rapid pace into a shambling limp. Your heart races. You feel yourself on the edge of panic for the first time in months, and when you reach for that aeon calm you have come to rely on, there is silence. Your aeon powers are gone for the moment, blocked by the magic that laces your wounds.

Which means that for the first time in months, you feel. You feel your anger at Greybor's betrayal, your frustration that this was the time he actually bothered to confirm that the cursed weapon would work, your fury at yourself for falling for such an absurdly obvious trap, especially when you had known from the beginning that the self-proclaimed assassin couldn't be trusted. You feel the guilt and shame and doubt, wondering what you did to make him do this, and you feel even more frustration over that because for once you know this wasn't your fault, but you still feel like it is.

You feel dread, because you know when you return to Drezen you will be asked what happened and where is he, and you will have to tell the truth, because an aeon does not lie, and you have come too far to give up now. You feel dread because somebody–probably you–will have to tell Regill, and you know that for all his discipline and strength and devotion, your brother is still mortal, and Greybor was one of very few people ever able to call himself Regill's friend.

(You feel but immediately quash the twinge of resentment and envy you feel, knowing you have never been and will never be one of those chosen few)

And you feel grief because you know that pain. Nobody else remembers, but you know what it's like for your dearest friend to turn his back on you and betray you and, as Regill no longer remembers putting it, "all of mortalkind." You feel grief because you know Regill will feel that pain, but he will force himself not to grieve, demanding that he be above such feelings, especially towards a traitor. You know he has felt this before–he told you the story of his first mentor–but that will not make it any less painful.

And underneath all of that you feel a year's worth of anger and guilt and grief and shame and a million other emotions that the aeon let you avoid untangling, and now it is looming over you threatening to swallow you whole, to possess you as your feelings used to do, to drive you to lash out and destroy -

For the moment, though, all of that is mostly drowned out by the pain. You are certain Arsinoe will scold you for walking on your right leg when you still have one of Greybor's cursed axes buried in your thigh, but you don't have much choice, and every step you take brings another jolt of searing, mindnumbing, cleansing pain that resets your emotions to something manageable. You were able to staunch the bleeding enough that you probably won't bleed out, but it still hurts like hell–enough that a not insubstantial part of you wants to stop and lay down to die.

But you can't. If you were a better man, you would refuse to die because the crusade needs you. If you were a better man, you might refuse to die because you haven't yet sealed the worldwound. If you were a better brother, you would refuse to die because Regill will blame himself for recommending you rehire Greybor after the dragon hunt. But you are not a better man - that is why you are an aeon, after all - and so the reason you persist is this: the moment the rhythm of pain stops, there will be nothing to hold back the feelings, and they scare you more than any demon or injury ever could. You can't stop - the moment you stop, your demons will catch you, and they will drown you alive.

So you walk. You walk, and because your powers are gone, you fall back on your old coping tricks: you sing a nonsense song about how much you hate this. You sing about how much you hate the pain and the curse and demons and the dark and the cold and the feelings and the distance still left to go and that son of a bitch Greybor. It's not good singing–you were a dreadful singer even at the best of times–but it's a way to vent, and you doubt anyone will hear you here.

Iron Man vs White Queen (and other supervillains)

During the 80s (as a flashback), Iron Man comes down to meet up with Nick Fury at Hell's Kitchen and deliver a briefcase with the psi-blockers. Iron Man becomes suspicious of "Nick Fury" when he knew that the usual meeting place is at the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier, not at the notorious Hell's Kitchen. Then, his suspicions were confirmed when "Nick Fury" calls him 'Tony' as no one except his close friends (e.g. Jim Rhodes as War Machine) can call him by his real name as his identity was kept secret at that time. Iron Man reveals that he had installed one of the psi-blockers into his armor and turns it on. The impostor's telepathic disguise fades away to reveal it's Emma Frost. She shows no resistance as Iron Man arrests her, only to arrogantly reveal that the rooftop where she had asked Iron Man to meet is atop the Bar with No Name. Then, Emma uses mind control to call up the supervillains (consisting of Stilt-Man, Doctor Octopus, Rhino, Sandman, Hydro-Man, Electro) and even a normal guy like Turk Barrett to fight him as a distraction. Once the psi-blocker in his armor is broken, Emma Frost takes advantage of him and telepathically tells Iron Man to forget about the encounter before leaving with the stolen briefcase.
