Modern Games You Can Still Use Cheats To Get Ahead In
Tumblr media
💾 ►►► DOWNLOAD FILE 🔥🔥🔥 Cheat codes may not be as prominent in video games as they once were, but there was a time when entire magazines, TV shows, and websites were dedicated to sharing these commands, codes, and tactics that would change the way you played your favorite games. From tanks that appear out of thin air to secrets that made you the most popular kid in the neighborhood, these are the absolute best cheats in video game history. Ad — content continues below. Sure, it sometimes broke the game and slowed the framerate to a crawl, but those drawbacks honestly just highlight how insane and delightful this cheat was. Long before Fortnite let John Wick shoot Superman, NBA Jam was the undisputed king of bizarre character cameos that led to truly wild competitive matchups. That day came the first time you realized that Jedi Outcast contained one of the best cheat codes ever. Get the best of Den of Geek delivered right to your inbox! In practice, though, this cheat just gave us a different way to experience one of the most influential PC games ever. Age of Empires 2 features so many memorable cheats that you could honestly argue they helped define the legacy of this classic RTS. However, there is one cheat code that stands above the rest. Nothing beats turning this strategy game into a Fury Road simulator by assaulting a desert stronghold with a small army of sports cars. Some of my favorite cheat codes ever are the ones you could use against unsuspecting friends to blow their minds and possibly ruin their day. So far as that goes, there are few cheat codes more memorable than unlocking Akuma in the arcade version of Super Street Fighter II: Turbo. Actually, the only thing more memorable than playing as Akuma was actually managing to input this cheat code correctly. In fact, this cheat code which required you to navigate the character select screen in a very specific way was so tough to properly input that even some of those who knew the method suspected it was fake. The only thing better than cheats that break a game are cheats that break a game and present an entirely new way to experience it in the process. Does it make it possible to pull off record combos from a standing jump? Yes, but navigating these physics proves to be a challenge in and of itself, as anyone who has ever ruined a million-point combo by seriously misjudging a jump will tell you. More than a few kids accidentally played the Second Quest by assuming that their character was supposed to be named Zelda. As the first first-person shooter many of us played when we were young, Doom could be incredibly intimidating in terms of its mechanics, concept, difficulty, and even tone. However, when someone put in this code and made you invincible, it really made it easier to appreciate just what a joy this classic was and how that whole FPS thing was probably going to stick around for a while. The story goes that Kazuhisa Hashimoto was working on the NES port of Gradius but found it difficult to properly test the game due to how punishing it was. His solution was to create a cheat command that would give him the power-ups he needed to progress. The game was accidentally shipped with the cheat code still enabled, players discovered it, and the rest is history. Early arguments between Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo fans usually ended in a standstill. In order to unlock the ability to become invincible in GoldenEye , you had to beat the Facility level in or less on 00 Agent setting. Then, after about a dozen runs or so, you start to see how you might be able to pull this off if absolutely everything goes perfectly. To this day, few moments in gaming match the feeling of finally completing that one perfect Facility run and wiping out the heartache of the dozens maybe hundreds of failed attempts that came before. Years later, we learned you could just unlock this cheat by entering a series of control commands.

You have done an (excelent) post on how to reinvent Batman as a Pulp Hero. Do you think you could do one to Superman as well? Or do you think it is impossible to do this with the progenitor of the Super Hero genre without transforming him in a totaly diferent character?
Well, you saying it as impossible only makes it seem ever more tempting of a challenge, but yes, it is a bit harder. I'm gonna link my Batman post here as a reference point.
Partially because Batman's a franchise I've thought extensively about for a long time in regards to what I like about it or how I'd like to approach if given the opportunity, which is not something I can really say for Superman until more recently the Big Blue to start orbiting my brain. I don't have years worth of redesigns or fan concepts saved on my galleries and files to comb through to pick and choose here, and my experience with Superman as a character is considerably different, in some aspects more deeply personal, and not really something I'd like to go into in this blog, at least not now.
Tumblr media
Part of the reason why it's harder is also because Batman and Superman have very different relationships with their pulp inspirations. Batman was, ostensibly, a pulp character adapted to comics, a dime-a-dozen Shadow knock-off who picked up and played up diverging traits from other characters and gradually ran with them to gradually forge a unique identity. Superman right from the start was rooted in a much stronger conceptual underpinning: the Sci-Fi Superman and Alien Menace who, instead of being a tragic monster or a tyrannical villain, becomes a costumed adventurer and social crusader. Even the name Super-Man was taken from an early story of Siegel and Shuster about a telepathic villain who ends the story lamenting that he should have used his powers for the good of mankind instead of selfishness. I hesitate to call what Siegel and Shuster were doing “subversive” because that term's picked up a real negative connotation, and it's not like Siegel and Shuster were out to upend their influences (they were pulp aficionados themselves), but rather putting a more positive, new spin on them.
Which is why it also becomes a bit harder to do what I did with Batman and align Superman with some of his pulp-esque inspirations, like John Carter, Flash Gordon or Hugo Danner, without just making it "Superman but he's John Carter", "Superman but it's Flash Gordon", and "Iron Munro / Superman but everything sucks" respectively. It's harder to create a character that wouldn't feel reduntant and derivative at best, and actively contradictory to Superman at worst.
I guess if I had to come up with a "Pulp Hero Superman" take I liked, well first of all I'd have to take steps to distance it from the likes of Tom Strong or Al Ewing's Doc Thunder, those two are as good as it gets in regards to Pulp Supermen. I stipulated for Batman a "No Guns, No Murder, No Service" policy partially to distance my takes on Batman from all the "Pulp Batmen" that just add guns and murder and take Batman back to the barest of basics. Likewise, I'm adding a "No Depowered Science Hero" rule here, which means it's a take that's likely going to veer off a lot more into fantasy and probably enough tampering with Clark's character that it does risk becoming a different character.
Frankly I don't think I'm gonna succeed at doing these without just making it a new character entirely, because with Batman you can get away with just upending the character's aesthetic and setting and even origin and still keep it recognizably Bruce Wayne (in fact Batman does that all the time), which isn't really the case with Superman, who needs those to remain recognizably Superman as he goes through internal changes and character shifts. I guess what I'm gonna do here is more taking the building blocks of Superman/Clark Kent and see a couple new ways I can rearrange them to create a Pulp Superman
Perhaps something we can do is to scale back or recontextualize the "superhero" parts without diminishing Superman's role as a superpowered fantasy character.
Tumblr media
One way we can start is by picking on that connection between Superman and the sci-fi supermen/alien monsters of pulps I mentioned earlier and play it up further, to create a Superman who's deeply, deeply alien in a way that no mild-mannered disguise or colorful outfit can really disguise, something so dramatically powerful and alien, that instead you could get tales about the kinds of ensuing changes and ripple effects this has on the world upon the The Super-Man's arrival. And for that I'm gonna have to quote @davidmann95's concept for Joshua Viers' absolutely stunning Superman redesign on the left side of the image above
The red, the goldish-orange and white, the alienness, the angelic, sculpted feeling, the halo, that innocently curious expression: it’s genuinely beautiful. Superman as a redeeming science-angel from beyond our understanding, as much past the uncanny valley of limited human comprehension as a Lovecraftian monster but tuned to the opposite key - you could spend an endless procession of human lifetimes trying and failing to understand this being, but all you’ll ever know for sure is that it is beyond you, and it knows you, and it loves you.
Superdoomsday from Earth 45, healed and transformed into the savior it was originally envisioned as? Some descendant of his, or a future of the man himself? An alien who picked up on a broadcast of Superman from Earth, and so inspired reshaped itself in his image to spread his ‘gospel’ to the stars?
Tumblr media
Alternatively, to come back to Earth a little, many, many pulp characters and series were built off the antics and personalities of real people, celebrities getting their own magazines or serials or fictionalized takes on them, so perhaps one way to make a "pulp" take on Superman would be to emphasize a bit more of Superman's real-world roots, trends that inspired his creation directly or indirectly at the time. The Jewish strongman Sigmund Breibart and Shuster's interest in fitness culture, Harold Lloyd's comic persona, the rising "strongman" film genre in the early 20th century, actors Clark Gable and Kent Taylor that supposedly named his secret identity, Clark Kent being a socially-awkward journalist based of Siegel's own school experiences.
Maybe one start to an authentic Pulp Superman, who would still be Superman, would be to just ask the question "What if Superman was a real person and/or a celebrity, and they started making pulp magazines and serials dedicated to him? What would those look like?". You wouldn't even have to restrict it to just a story set in the 1930s, in fact you could even play around with the rise of new mediums over the decades.
This third one is a little closer to some plans I have for my own take on a Superman character, not necessarily what I would do with Superman proper but one of my ideas for a Superman analogue. Superman's a character I'll always associate strongly with childhood and childhood fantasy, and to tap into that I would emphasize the other end of the fiction that influenced Siegel and Shuster: comic strips, in their case specifically Little Nemo and Popeye.
In my case I would bring additional influences from some of the comic strips I personally grew up reading like Monica's Gang and Calvin and Hobbes, and I already talked a bit about Captain Fray in terms of how he’s a Superman character despite being a villain. I guess you could call this one "What if Superman was a public domain comic strip character, stripped of the importance of being the founding figure of a super popular genre or extended universe, and also was kind of ugly?".
Tumblr media
He's not "Sloth from the Goonies" ugly, I swear I didn't actually have Sloth in mind when typing out this idea, I've never watched that film nor did I know until now that he actually spends the film in a Superman shirt. That's not really what I'm going for. Visually I was thinking of modeling my take on Superman heavily after Hugo from Street Fighter and his inspiration Andre the Giant, to really emphasize the “circus strongman / freak wrestler” aspect of Superman’s inspiration, particularly in regards to how Hugo’s SFIII version strikes a really great balance in making Hugo ugly and both comedic and fearsome in battle, as well as lovable and even a little dopey (without being outright stupid, like his IV self) in his victory animations and endings.
Tumblr media
He's still Superman, he still goes on fantastical adventures to help people, he's still a deeply loving and compassionate soul whose face beams with joy and affection and who's got wonderful eyes and a great smile. It's just that this smile has a couple of mismatched stick-out teeth or some missing ones, and he's got a crooked smile some people take as smug or malicious, he’s got a strongman’s gut instead of a bodybuilder’s abs, his nose is a little busted (maybe he’s had too many crash landings), and his hair is a little wild or greasy, and he doesn't exactly have very good people skills because of how others usually react to him and, y'know, he doesn't get the kind of publicity Superman would get despite doing ostensibly the same things. He’s not deformed, he’s incredibly intelligent and capable, but in comparison to how superheroes are usually allowed to look, he might as well be Bizarro in the public eye.
It becomes a running gag that people tend to assume some nearby fireman or cop was the one who rescued the hundred orphans out of a burning building single-handedly, meanwhile he's getting accosted off-panel by police officers who think he set the building on fire, or think they can bully this weird man dressed funny. He goes to rescue old people in peril and occasionally they yell at him that they don't have any money. He doesn't get asked to lead superhero meetings or teams even though many in the community advocate for just how much he does for the world, he gets censored out of tv broadcasts or group shots (even his face is sometimes pixelated when they do show him), people invite him on talk shows and don't really let him talk or assume they got the wrong guy. He goes to rescue a woman dangling off a building, and then he gets attacked by like three different superhero teams who assume he must have kidnapped the poor damsel. He was the first superhero, he is the strongest of them all still, but he never really gets credit for it, it nor does he even want to. None of this at all stops him or deters him, except for some occasionally funny reactions.
This never really changes for him, he doesn't really earn people's approval nor does he have to, instead the stories, outside of the gags and adventures you’d expect from a comic strip, veer more towards others learning to be less judgmental and him learning ways to better approach people. He isn't any lesser than Superman just because he doesn't look like most people would want him to look and he doesn't have to look like Superman. Really I think we could use more superheroes that don’t look all so uniformly pretty.
Again, probably not a take that would work for Clark proper, but it’s one way I would take a shot at doing Superman with my own
I have other stuff in the works for this character but I'd like to keep them to better work on them for now, but yeah, these are three of my shots at developing a Pulp Superman.
Tumblr media
Alternatively here's a fourth idea that's more pulp than all of these: Join up Nicholas Cage with Panos Cosmatos again, or whatever weird indie director he decides to pair up with next, and let them do whatever the hell they want with Superman. Give us Mandy Superman. Superman vs The Color Out of Space. Superman vs Five Nights at Freddy's. Superman’s quest to find THE LAST PIG OF KRYPTON. Anything goes.

We had another case. The team was in the roundtable room ready to see what was happening to innocent people this time. Garcia came in and handed everyone the ipads and files. 
“Alright my lovely crime fighters, today our unsub is right here in our very city.” She said turing the large screen on. 
“Whoa, this guy clearly hates women…” JJ said as we looked at the photos. 
“Is there anything in common with these women other than the way they look?” Reid asked. 
“Actually according to their friends, they were all at a nightclub, all doing a girl’s night out.” Emily said. 
“So they were in groups?” Matt asked. 
“He must be very charismatic.” Luke pointed out. 
“So, he lures one woman away from her group of friends and convinces her to go back to his place…” I said. 
“What are you thinking?” Tara asked. 
“Well, these women look very similar to me. What if we bait him?” I suggested. 
“No way, it’s too dangerous.” Luke said. 
“We’re not even sure what nightclub he’ll hit next.” Matt said. 
“Well based on where he’s been so far, I believe he’ll be going to the Euphoria club.” Reid said looking at the map. 
“Are you sure?” JJ asked. 
“It’s a 98.6% chance.” Reid answered. 
“It’s worth a shot right?” I asked. 
“It’s dangerous, we’re not seriously considering this are we?” Luke asked. 
“Y/N’s strong, she can handle it.” Rossi said. 
“It’s up to you Emily.” I said. 
“It’s worth a shot.” She said. 
“What if he takes her? Then he has an FBI agent.” Luke said. 
“You and Matt will be there to watch us.” Emily said standing up. 
“Us?” Matt asked. 
“JJ and I will be joining her, he takes these girls from groups.” She said and walked out. 
“Time to get all dolled up.” I smirked at JJ. Everyone was getting ready to go undercover. I was dressed and waiting for JJ and Emily to get ready. I was in a black leather crop top, white skirt, black and gold heels, and a black and gold clutch. I did some gold and black makeup with a wing, and a red lip.

I walked out of the room and saw Luke dressed in a simple collared shirt and jeans. He looked up at me and his eyes widened a little. 
“Don’t you think that’s a little too showy?” He asked and I shook my head. 
“Jealous?” I asked with a smirk. 
“I don’t like the idea of his hands on you.” He said pulling me close to him by my waist. 
“I thought we were trying to keep us a secret.” I said with a smirk. 
“I don’t care about a secret when your life is in danger.” He said. 
“I’ll be fine with you guys watching over me and I have JJ and Emily too.” I said wrapping my arms around him. 
“I can’t believe you want to risk your life after seeing what he did to those other women.” He said in shock. 
“No offence to those women, but they’re not me.” I said with a smirk. 
“That doesn’t mean you won’t get hurt.” He said. I heard everyone else making their way to us and I pulled away. 
"Underestimate me. That'll be fun." I said with a smirk. The girls walked up to us, along with Matt. 
“Ready to go?” Emily asked and I nodded. 
“Wow, you all look ready, Reid and I will be in the car across the street.” Rossi said with the young genius next to him. 
“And I will be here make sure you all can hear everything that goes on with our Y/N.” Garcia said with a smile. 
“Well, I’m in very good hands.”  I said and we all started walking to the elevators. As soon as everyone turned their backs Luke grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him. 
"I will protect you whether you like it or not." He whispered in my ear. 
“Oh, I know.” I whispered back and we quickly caught up to the others. 
The girls and I were acting like it was nothing more than a girl’s night out. The three of us were dancing and I decided to go to the bar to get a virgin drink. 
“I’ll be right back.” I called over the music. The girls nodded and I went to the bar. I ordered my drink and looked around, trying to look like I wanted to be approached. 
“Hey there, did your friends ditch you or something?” A guy asked sitting next to me. 
“No, I just needed a break from dancing.” I said with a smile. 
“I hope this doesn’t come off as weird or creepy, but I noticed you dancing and you are very good.” He said leaning forward. 
“You noticed me out of all the women here?” I asked, playing his game. 
“Yeah, between you and me, you’re the best looking one here.” He flirted. 
“Really? Because I think you’re the best looking guy here.” I flirted back. I saw Luke was close by and he was not exactly happy with my acting. 
“Oh yeah? Would you care to dance?” He asked, offering me his hand. 
“I’d love to.” I said, taking his hand. He led me to the dance floor and we started dancing. 
“You’re just my type.” He said in my ear and I smirked. 
“Oh yeah?” I asked. 
“Yeah I love girls with Y/H/C.” He answered. 
“Lucky me.” I smirked. 
“How about we go back to my place?” He offered. 
“Sure, just let me go tell my friends.” I said looking to see them at the bar. 
“Meet me at the door.” He said and I nodded. I walked over to the girl. 
“I have to go back with him, if this is our guy we can nail him.” I said. 
“I don’t know Y/N, it could be dangerous.” Emily said. 
“That’s what I’ve been saying.” Luke came through the ear piece. 
“But if I don’t he’ll just end up taking another girl.” I said and she sighed. 
“Fine, we’ll be right behind you. Garcia, I want you tracking her phone.” Emily said. 
“On it!” She answered. 
“Be careful.” Emily said and I nodded. I walked over to the guy and he led me to his car. As we pulled away from the club I noticed everyone walking into the car that Rossi and Reid were in. When we got to his house, it seemed normal, but looks were deceiving. We got inside and he slammed me into the wall next to the door. 
“Sluts like you piss me off. You wouldn’t have looked at me if I didn’t look like this.” He growled with his hands around my neck. 
“You stupid bitches alway want the hot guys, but what about a good guy?” He asked, pissed off. I could feel myself losing air, but I managed to get my arms between his and get his hands off my neck. I shoved him away from me and he glared at me. Before he could charge at me I pulled my gun out of my clutch bag. I pointed it at him and his eyes widened. 
“FBI! Hands up!” Luke shouted as he kicked the door open. 
“Told you I could handle it.” I smirked at him. Matt came in and arrested the guy and we were free to go back and do the paperwork.
Luke and I were the only ones left in the office and we were finishing up the paperwork we had. He looked over at me and sighed. 
“What’s up?” I asked looking up at him. 
“How could you risk your life like that?” He asked. 
“If I didn’t, we would have had another dead girl.” I answered. 
“You are so brave.” He said. 
“That is one of the reasons you fell in love with me, isn’t it?” I asked and he chuckled. 
“It is.” He smiled at me. 
“Come on, let’s get out of here. I want Chinese. I said getting up and he laughed. 
“Right, I’m guessing you wanna watch a movie when we get home too?” He asked. 
“Close, a show.” I smirked and he shook his head. 
“Right, I’ll call in an order on the way.” He said, grabbing his stuff.

Scenes I want in the F&F Series #5: Hey Sister
Summary: Letty tells the truth about the time she spent with Owen Shaw and his crew
Deckard leaned back in his chair, simply watching the party going around him. It was odd to see the people he had been hunting only a few months ago look so happy and comfortable in his presence. He could see Parker and Pearce in a corner, heads nearly knocking together by how fiercely they were talking to each other. Deckard had a feeling they were talking about the crew’s new resident hacker, who was adamantly ignoring the two idiots by talking to Hobbs and his daughter. 
Minutely shaking his head, Deckard could see the disaster that was ultimately going to happen between those three. Hopefully someone else caught Parker or Pearce’s eye. And soon. 
Looking around further, Deckard couldn’t help the small smile that crept onto his face as he spotted Toretto holding his son, rocking the baby and gently whispering to him. The man’s face was relaxed, soft around the eyes as he watched his son try to grab at him and giggling like crazy. 
Deckard couldn’t help but feel a little jealous. 
He couldn’t wait until he was in the man’s position. 
But, his thoughts were taken away from laughing babies and irritated potential lovers as Deckard tracked Ortiz’s progress as she made her way over to him. 
Deckard simply nodded at her as she took a seat next to him. Smirking, she raised an eyebrow at him. 
“This what you do for fun, Shaw? Sit around, watching everyone else enjoying themselves?”
“You all have your fun, I have mine,” Deckard shrugged, but mirrored her smirk. 
Out of all of them, Ortiz was the one Deckard knew who would be able to handle just anything thrown at her. Like Hobbs, she had training. Very familiar training if Deckard thought about it. 
They were both quiet for a moment, Ortiz staring at her Toretto and the baby, while Deckard simply took a drink from his beer. Putting the bottle down, Deckard fixed her with a look. 
“I know you’re not here for small talk. What do you want?” Deckard kept his voice light and not demanding like he wanted to. He wasn’t around enemies, not any longer. He needed to play nice. 
She turned back to him, eyes hard as she stared at him. But she hesitated. 
Deckard felt his back straightening, sensing that something important was going to be said. 
Finally, Ortiz let out a sigh and looked away from him, a hair coming up to tuck some of her hair behind her ear. The almost bashful movement surprised Deckard. She simply hadn’t seemed like one for nervous tics. 
“I was just wondering how you brother was.”
Deckard’s eyebrows rose and hit his nonexistent hairline. 
“He’s fine. Why?”
“I…” She started, but paused and sighed. 
Deckard could see that she was struggling with something internally and had to wonder what Owen had done to her. His little brother did like his mind games, after all. 
Patiently, Deckard waited as Ortiz took a deep breath and turned to him. Gone was her hesitation and was replaced by fierce determination. 
“When Braga sent his goon after me and made me have my little accident, your brother was the first person I saw when I woke up.” Ortiz said firmly, holding his gaze. “He didn’t lie to me. Not exactly. He abso-fucking-lutely didn’t tell me the whole truth, but he didn’t lie. He told me that I was a criminal. I had worked with a crew and then tried to work with the FBI, who screwed me over. Everyone was convinced I was dead. That if I wanted, I could have a completely different life.”
Deckard nodded, letting her tell her story. 
“I didn’t have anything. I couldn’t remember anyone. Hell, I almost didn’t remember my own fucking name, man. I didn’t know what to do. So, I took his offer.” She sighed and finally looked away from him to stare down at her own beer. “I’m not sure what I expected. But I wasn’t expecting him to whisk me off to London, a city I’ve never even thought about visiting. There I was, new city, new country, new people. I had no damn clue what I was doing.”
She glanced back up at him. 
“But what I did know was that your brother was there for me. He got me an apartment, showed me around the city. Where to buy groceries. What to avoid. How to find the street races that happened right under the police’s noses.” She said quietly. “He took care of me.”
Deckard’s lips thinned as Ortiz picked up more energy, explaining further. 
“He had offered me a place in his crew, but before he even introduced me to them, he demanded that I be trained.” She let out a small chuckle as she remembered. “I was so pissed off. I told him that I could easily kick his ass, and you know what he did? He did only a few moves and had me on my back in seconds. The bastard was just so fucking smug, I had to prove him wrong.”
“So he trained you.” Deckard spoke for the first time. 
“Yeah.” Ortiz sighed. “He’s a real ball-buster, your brother. Never let up. Everyday, he would kick my ass, teaching me how to properly fight, how to actually kill. Later, he would take me out on the streets and showed me how to steal a hundred wallets in one afternoon. For several months, that’s what my days were like. Just training with him.”
“You two got close.”
Letty nodded. 
“It felt so nice to have someone there for me. No matter what, he would be there. Some days, we didn’t even train. We just- hung out.” She said quietly, not looking at Deckard again, almost ashamed. “I felt like I could talk to him about anything. He encouraged me to try and remember what my favorite foods, songs, places, and other things were. He never actually stopped me from looking into my past. But, after spending so much time with him, I didn’t want to look for anyone from my old life. Not when Owen was for me in my new one.”
She took a breath, and looked up at the sky. Deckard could see that her eyes were wet, but didn’t say anything. 
“When I finally started working with the crew, I noticed that he acted differently. He wasn’t carefree like he was around me. No, he was now the boss of the crew and acted like it. At first, I liked that he didn’t treat me differently from everyone, it meant that I was able to prove myself to them and get their respect through my own merits.”
“But something changed.” Deckard said softly, sympathetically. 
“It was when he started working for Cipher,” Letty admitted, voice barely above a whisper. “He seemed to always be too busy to spend time with me. He seemed to avoid me and never treated me like I wasn’t his friend- like I was anybody else in the crew. I- I missed him. And then Dom showed up, and well. Things went to shit.”
She said the last words bluntly, a joyless smile playing cruelly on her lips. 
“But when I heard he had  fallen out of that damn plane, I-” She stopped and took a breath. “I was scared. I was scared shitless that he was going to die. I wanted to keep tabs on him, but Hobbs wouldn’t tell me anything, but he couldn’t. Owen was in such deep shit, they kept his files and recovery extremely secret. And then you showed up.”
Deckard could see the resentment and lingering hatred in her eyes, but didn’t fault her a bit. 
“But I knew he was going to be fine. He’s too much of a fighter and a nuisance to just kick the bucket.” Letty smirked at him. “But, during this whole thing with Dom: learning that he has a son and that you and your brother helped save him. It just made me wonder…”
She trailed off.
Deckard stayed quiet. 
“You know what the sad thing is?” She asked him suddenly. “He said I was like the sister he never had.”
Deckard’s whole body stiffened and he had to physically stop his face from twisting into anger, disappointment, and a million other emotions. Letty seemed oblivious to this.
“Did he.” Deckard said, voice neutral.
“Yeah. I actually felt honored when he told me that,” she sighed. “Because I actually thought the same thing about him. He would have made a great older brother, even though I bet he’s an annoying little brother.”
Deckard gave her a small smile at that. 
“You really do miss him.” It wasn’t a question. 
“Yeah. It’s been weird pulling jobs without him.”
Deckard nodded. He could understand that. Owen always had a certain presence around him. One that took up the whole room and demanded everyone’s attention to be on him at all times. He shone bright and fierce, and Deckard wasn’t surprised that Letty had fallen under his spell. Owen just drew people to him.
“I’ll make him call you.” Deckard said simply, keeping eye contact with Letty and watched her eyes go wide. 
“I- thank you. I really appreciate that.”
“But,” Deckard said firmly. “Keep in mind that while you got to see a side of Owen that not many get to, you don’t know him like I do. There’s a lot you still don’t know about him.”
Letty nodded in understanding, but Deckard could see the defiance in her. 
“I know, but I still want to talk to him. I want what we had back. He doesn’t get to run away from me.”
“If you need any help tracking him down and pinning him until he actually listens, just give me a call. Little arsehole needs to be taken down a peg every now and then.” Deckard smiled at her. 
They both laughed at the idea, and while Deckard could see the excitement in her eyes at the idea of Owen being back in her life, Deckard knew he would have to talk to Owen. His little brother seemed to have forgotten certain parts of their childhood if he claimed Hattie didn’t exist. 
But, as Deckard listened to Letty’s carefree laughter, he had to wonder what it would be like with two little sisters.

Horrifying History: Historical Games to Play for Halloween
Tumblr media
(This article is credited to Ben Price. For as long as he can remember, Ben has always loved playing, discussing, and writing about video games. Since receiving his B.A. in English, he now writes about them for a living.)
As we approach the midway point of October, scary season is in full swing, which only means one thing for gamers: horror games. Horror has always been a popular genre, from the iconic Resident Evil and Silent Hill franchises to more recent hits like Outlast and Until Dawn. Fans of horror have plenty of new releases to look forward to this year, with titles such as Amnesia: Rebirth right around the corner.
But anyone can go on about the best or upcoming horror games. How about those based around historical events and in historical settings? There are a handful of great picks in that category we’d love to shine the proverbial spotlight on. For history buffs that want to get spooked this Halloween, here are some video games that you absolutely want to check out.
Zombie Army Series
Tumblr media
Because we can never quite get enough World War II shooters in our library, Zombie Army Series sends us to an alternate 1940s. One where Hitler didn’t just overtake Europe. He did so with a swarming horde of the undead. Grizzly fiends pile onto players from all corners, ripped straight from the hands of Hell to devour the world and spread the Nazi plague.
The Zombie Army series spans four titles, each one more horrifyingly ridiculous than the last. As a resistance fighter, players mow down the undead across a decayed and dilapidated world. The series features period-specific weapons, which are useful implements in downing zombies. Though there’s underlying humor to the series, the atmosphere tends to be gloomier and a bit more fitting of the survival horror genre.
Zombie Army is a spin-off of the Sniper Elite series and even features some of those game’s delightful quirks like the brutally entertaining bullet camera.
A Plague Tale: Innocence
Tumblr media
If there’s anything that we’ve learned in the year 2020, it’s that there are few scarier things in this world than widespread, infectious disease. A Plague Tale: Innocence is set in 14th century France, and the player takes on the role of 15-year-old Amicia de Rune, who must protect her little brother Hugo as they evade Inquisition soldiers while also faced with the deadliest disease known to man: The Bubonic Plague. 
The story takes itself into scary and dark places, telling a compelling tale of a girl and her brother. Part of what makes A Plague Tale so scary is the fact that you, a young woman, are nearly defenseless in a world filled with dangers at every corner, from terrorizing soldiers to ravenous, infectious rats. While not 100% historically accurate, A Plague Tale offers players a look at an interesting period of European history that has rarely been touched upon in video games.
Bloodrayne
Tumblr media
Players step into the shoes of Rayne, a half-human, half-vampire in this hack-and-slash action game set in the 1930s. First beginning in 1933, BloodRayne takes the player through a warped version of Nazi Germany and other interesting locations in this unique blend of world history and vampiric lore.
The game certainly features some creepy monsters and enemies, from giant spiders to bats and straight-up demons. BloodRayne is an exciting, alternative take on German history that’s sure to offer a bloody good time for fans of fast-paced hack-and-slash games.
Call of Duty - Nazi Zombies
Tumblr media
The Call of Duty franchise has covered many different periods of world history, from World War II in the original trilogy to the war against Afghanistan in the Modern Warfare games and the Cold War in the Black Ops series. But one of the most interesting aspects of many Call of Duty games has to be the series’ classic Nazi Zombies mode.
First seen in Call of Duty: World at War, this survival horror side mode pits up to four players against the living dead, who attack in endless waves. In a somewhat humorous and ridiculous fashion, the mode depicts Nazi soldiers reanimated as the living dead. The mode also offers many different playable characters and usable weapons that vary in their levels of historical accuracy.
While it isn’t the scariest historical game to play this Halloween season, it certainly is one of the most fun. It may not be the best place to score an education on world history, but Nazi Zombies can certainly be a delightful trip into a bloody, rotting version of the past.
Nocturne
Tumblr media
Originally launched exclusively on PC in 1999, Nocturne is set in the late 1920s and early 1930s and follows a character simply known as The Stranger, an operative of a fictional secret American Government organization known as “Spookhouse.” Through the course of the game, The Stranger investigates several different cases where he must fight off various classic monsters such as zombies, vampires, and werewolves in locations like the jazzy streets of the Windy City.
The game feels very classic survival horror, in a similar vein to Silent Hill and Alone in the Dark with fixed camera angles and some rather wonky controls when compared to modern standards. With that said, Nocturne was considered very ahead of its time when released and is now considered a cult classic that’s been shrouded in obscurity.
Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem
Tumblr media
Released on the Nintendo GameCube back in 2002, this cult classic is perhaps one of the scariest psychological horror games of all time. With about half of the story set in modern-day, the other half takes place during multiple different periods of world history.
Playable characters include Pious Augustus, a Roman Centurion from Ancient Rome; Paul Luther, a Franciscan monk from 1485 AD; Peter Jacob, an English journalist covering the events of World War I; Dr. Maximillian Roivas, a wealthy doctor living in colonial Rhode Island in 1760 AD; and many more. Nearly every playable character comes from a different period, with the game spanning over 2000 years of world history.
The game plays very similarly to the Resident Evil series, with fixed camera angles and zombie-like enemies but with many unique gameplay elements, such as magic spell-casting abilities as well as a sanity meter that can affect the game in unpredictable ways. Eternal Darkness tested players with trickery that some would consider cruel, such as a “blue screen of death” error and a particularly nasty fakeout that appears to delete all save files.
With so many great choices, it looks like history buffs should have no shortage of scary games to play this Halloween season.

Noritaka Funamizu’s Street Fighting Days
Tumblr media
Source: Capcom Secret File #3
I first got involved with the Street Fighter series after I was done working with Tenchi wo Kurau II (English title: Warriors of Fate).
“We want a sequel to do a Street Fighter II: Champion Edition. Can you do it?”
“Well...”
“Come on, we’re begging you!”
“I’m not so sure, but...”
And like that Super Street Fighter II started developed. (Why not Hyper Fighting? You’ll see...)
On the day we decided to make Super into the first CP System II game.
“Let’s make another Street Fighter II game.”
“Aren’t we making one already?”
“Yeah, but that’s one for the CPS2. We want another one for CPS1. You have up to this date to be done with.”
“But that’s not even a month away from now.”
And thus Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting was born.
Several months after the release of Super Street Fighter II.
"We have too much leftover mask ROMs from Super!”
“What should we do with them”
So we took the initiative and made Super Street Fighter II Turbo. We could finally bid farewell to those characters and music.
One day, while working on Night Warriors.
“We have an inventory of CPS1 boards...”
“Just leave it to me! It’ll be perfect!”
“It’s due for this particular date.”
”I’ll do it!”
“...I know you just did Street Fighter Alpha, but...”
”You want a sequel? I’ll start working on it right away.”
“Actually, we just wanted you to fix a bug...”
*BONK!*
And that’s how my life has been for the past 5 years.

50 Questions Tag!
@jongin-be-my-jagi​ tagged me for this a while ago, but I took my sweet time to answer. Here is my secret intel if you want to know me a little bit more!! Check hers as well, she’s an amazing writer and friend. 1. What takes up too much of your time? Tumblr, my stupid procrastination prone brain and my thesis. 
Tumblr media
2. What makes your day better? Friends and loved ones, music and these absolute dorks (Channie especially) 
Tumblr media
3. What’s the best thing that happened to you today? I hopped on the mat today in the early hours of the morning, rain on my window and the neighbours cat peeking at me from his window across the street.
Tumblr media
4. What fictional place would you like to go to? Wonderland, bacause it’s “curiouser and curiouser!”
Tumblr media
'Who are you?' said the Caterpillar.  Alice replied, rather shyly, 'I — I hardly know, sir, just at present — at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
5. Are you good at giving advice? I think so. Not so good at following my own advice though.  I do always consider where the other is standing and if I don’t know how to proceed then I’ll just be honest and say I can’t help. But i’ll always listen with my heart. 
 6. Do you have any mental illnesses? Not diagnosed. I do think i might be going through something now. 
Tumblr media
7. Have you ever experienced sleep paralysis? No, but i have a recurring nightmare: the world is made of black and white paper thin layers. I am a paper thin person walking along a street surrounded by paper thin buildings. I walk for a long time, looking up at the white sky. Until the street ends, there is no more building and i fall into the abyss of a blank page.  I have had this dream since the age of 8 or 9 years old. Fear of not being good enough, you say?! Ding, ding, ding!! We got a winner in the back!  8. What musician inspired you the most? I get inspired by music all the time!! One of my all time favourite songs is Spanish Sahara by Foals. Its sublime!
youtube
So I’d say I’m mainly inspired by these artists: Queen, Arctic Monkeys, Foals, Radiohead, Bowie, Daughter, Bob Dylan, Beirut, Yeah yeah yeahs, Arcade Fire, The National, Joy Division, Blur, Warpaint, Gorillaz, Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, Chet Baker, The Cure, Courtney Barnett, The Maccabees, Car Seat Headrest, Florence + The Machine, Editors, Kasabian, Crystal Fighters, Death Cab for a cutie, The Doors, Efterklang, Explosions in the Sky, Franz Ferdinand, The Horrors, James Blake, José Gonzalez, Los Campesinos!,  Metronomy, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Patrick Watson,  Phoenix, Sharon Van Etten, The Shins, Simon & Garfunkel, The Smiths, St.Vincent, The Strokes, Toro y Moi, tricot, Tune-Yards, TV on the radio, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, The Vaccines, Vampire Weekend, The Velvet Underground, The War on Drugs, Wild Beasts and Yo La Tengo.
And the electro, pop and hip-hop groves of my heart: EXO, 2NE1, Janelle Monáe, Big Bang, Kris Wu,LCD soundsystem, SBTRKT, Childish Gambino, Frank Ocean, Kendrick Lamar and Daft Punk. 
And special mentions to the portuguese ones (learning from yixing and promoting when i can :P): Capicua, Joana Espadinha, The Legendary Tigerman, Linda Martini, Mayra Andrade, Noiserv, Ornatos Violeta, Paus, Samuel Uria, You Can’t Win Charlie Brown and The Silence 4. I know, tldr right? Sorry folks! 9. Have you ever fallen in love? Yes I have. I have mistaken a crush for love too. But i have definitely been very deeply in love. A wrecked kintsugi heart over here people! 10. What’s your dream date? I don’t think I have one. I’d love to do something unique with that someone special, something special for the two of us. It could be as simple as riding the subway while sharing earphones & listening to our playlist or walking the dogs out! Idk, I’m easy to please. But right now it would have to be with this handsome man :D pretty please?!
Tumblr media
11. What do others notice about you? I am very kind and warm hearted, so I think that’s what people first notice when meeting me. Although I maintain good eye contact, I am also timid and will be quieter if there are very energetic people in the group. When alone, I usually take the first step and try to meet people, but only if i really must.  12. What’s an annoying habit you have? It’s really hard for me to ask for help. I also like to tell detailed descriptions of everything... Couldn’t you tell? 13. Do you still talk to your first love? I’ll text him on his birthday and he does the same to me. We met when we were 10 years old and that childhood friendship remains. But regarding my one and truly deep relationship, no we do not talk, unless we randomly meet.
14. How many exes do you have? I have three exes. The first love who was just an idealized crush on my childhood friend: we dated for 2 weeks during summer break xD Then my first real boyfriend, we met in my first year at university, dated for quite some time, he really loved me and made me love myself a little more. Finally the one i loved too much. I mended his wounds and made him love himself as much as I did. I always say all the love we feel makes our hearts grow bigger. I do not regret loving any of them, I am me now due to them and I would not change it if I could. 15. How many songs are in your playlist? I have way too many playlists for each and every mood... But my favourite songs list on spotify has about 1500 songs! uwu!  16. What instruments can you play? Triangles and flute?! I had mandatory music classes in school... so in reality I can’t really play a instrument...
Tumblr media
17. Who do you have the most pictures of? Probably my cat, Sushi. With a second close of my doodles and sketches.

21. What is happiness to you? You know when it’s really cold outside in the winter and you manage to find a sheltered place where no wind can hit you and you still get to feel the warm rays of the winter suns on your skin? You hear the birds outside and you are contempt in that moment, at peace. That is happiness to me.   22. Are you going through anything right now? Yes, I am a bit lost. Trying to finish my thesis and trying to find what I want to do after. It’s liberating but also pretty scary. 23. What’s the worst decision you ever made? It’s a series of small decisions really. It started with going for a phd with the same people i worked in my msc. Should have gone to a different place. Then deciding to come home after a traumatic loss in the family. Should have kept my life going but I stalled it then. (I don’t regret helping my loved ones though).
24. What’s your favourite store? Probably Wishtrend for beauty stuff. Other than that I don’t have any favourite brands/stores. 25. (HALFWAY!) What’s your opinion on abortion? I think everyone is free to decide what they want or need to do. I couldn’t possible judge. If I would it? Probably not.
27. Do you have a favourite album? I don’t think so, I have favourite tunes for different moods and moments in my life. But if threatened with my life, I’d maybe say Total Life Forever from Foals.
28. What do you want for your birthday? It’s such a long time until my birthday comes! But maybe a real EXO ot9 reunion as a goodbye to Minseok?
Tumblr media
29. What is most people’s first impression of you? Friendly and easy to open up to, i think.
30. What age do you seem according to most people? In real life, people usually think I am way younger than I am.  31. Where do you keep your phone when you’re sleeping? In the crook of my bed, between the mattress and the bed frame.
32. What word do you say the most? No idea really! 33. What’s the oldest age you’d date? 40s? I don’t think too much about age actually. 
34. What’s the youngest age you’d date? 20s? Again not very important to me. Love is love, whomever, whenever and wherever <3
35. What job / career do most people say would suit you? I don’t know! People always say i don’t totally fit in anything... so there’s that. If you have an idea please let me know! 36. What’s your favourite music genre? Go back to question 8. I listen to everything! :D 37. If you could live in any country in the world where would it be? I’d like to live around the world, every few months a different place and get to know different cultures.
38. What is your current favourite song? I’ve been obsessed with RM’s intro/teaser song, Map of the Soul: Persona. (I’m not even a bts fan, but this music and lyrics just touched me a lot.)
youtube
39. How long have you had this blog for? I think for about 6 years? It’s my personal space, where I dump all my obsessions.  
40. What are you excited for? I’m visiting some friends in Granada in a couple of weeks. Yay, tapas!
41. Are you a better talker or listener? Normally I am a better listener. But there are a few people to whom i open like a book. Either words flow right out of me without even thinking or they see throw me. Those truly are my people.

44. What class do you get the best grades in? No more exams! Ehehe! But I used to have good grades at everything. Physical Education was my lowest mark i think.
45. On a scale of 1-10 how do you feel right now? Right now, a 4? I have a headache.
46. What can you see yourself doing in 10 years? Smiling? :D I want to be happy in my own skin.

 Grim History
 ETA and the Violence of Basque Nationalism in Spain
    The Basque country straddles the border between northwest Spain and southwest France. The people living there comprise their own ethnic group; not speaking Spanish, Catalan or French, the Basque people speak Euskadi, a language not belonging to the Indo-European language group. They have inhabited that land from a time long before the Latin speaking Romans conquered that corner of Europe. By the mid-twentieth century, some Basque people decided it was time to be their own nation. That is when ETA was born.
    In the 1950s the Spanish fascist dictatorship of Franco was still strong. The battles of the two world wars had resulted in a re-structuring of the European map. The communists had ascended and Third World national liberation movements had brought about new countries in the former colonies. During that decade a group of students grew frustrated by the slow and moderate pace of the Basque Nationalist Party; decidedly taking a more hardline and revolutionary stance, they formed the Euskadi Ta  Askatasuna or Basque Homeland Party, better known internationally by their acronym ETA. Organized in a loosely connected constellation of secret hideouts, headquarters, underground bunkers, and clandestine prisons scattered throughout the Basque region on the southern side of the Spanish Border, they collected weapons and plotted to bomb their way to independence in a long campaign of terrorist attacks. ETA merged with Batasuna, a Basque nationalist political party who soon became their political wing, though some Batasuna members, disgusted by ETA’s violent tactics maintain the idea that ETA used threats and intimidation to incorporate them into their terrorist movement. While ETA mostly operated on the Spanish side of the border, their political leaders directed operations from the French side and rank and file members also laid low in France when the police were searching for them. France tolerated ETA’s presence during the Franco years, hoping that their activism would help to destabilize the fascist regime.
    ETA held several conferences in the 1960s and officially declared independence from Spain in 1962. Their first act of violence occurred in 1968 when a Spanish member of the Guardia Civil opened fire on an ETA member named Txabi Etxebarrieta who fled from a police roadblock. He was chased and killed and ETA decided to retaliate by assassinating Meliton Manzanas, chief of the secret police in San Sebastian. This incident initiated several waves of kidnappings and terrorist attacks.
    One of ETA’s most notorious bombings was Operation Ogro in December 1973. They targeted Admiral Luis Carrero Blanco, the man chosen by Franco to be his successor. ETA packed a large bunch of explosives onto the ceiling of tunnel in Madrid which Blanco was known to drive over every day. Upon detonation, the bomb blew his car five stories into the air and over a fence where it landed in a residential back yard. Needless to say, Blanco did not survive.  After ETA claimed responsibility, some people in Spain hailed ETA for an event that could have been the beginning of the end of fascism in Spain and an initiation into the era of democracy.
    While ETA’s star was rising, the newly emerging democratic government  decided to rely on old methods in an attempt to keep them in check. The politicians set up a paramilitary organization called the Antiterrorist Liberation Group or GAL. This groups spent the better part of the 1980s engaging ETA in extra-legal warfare, arrests, harassment, and violence. Given free reign, interrogation and torture of ETA members became routine. Assassinations of suspected Basque separatists were carried out. The Spanish secret service provided the intelligence and logistical support that were necessary for these operations. The international community responded by condemning GAL’s tactics so loudly that they eventually had to disband and halted their surveillance.
    Meanwhile, ETA was also declining in popularity. Basque nationalists regarded them with lukewarm sympathy. Political parties avoided them. The majority of ethnic Basque people actually saw no benefit to liberating their people from Spain or France anyhow. A series of car bombings during the 1980s did not help their public image at all. Their worst attack occurred in Barcelona when several families were blown up in an attack on a shopping mall; in an attempt to be fair, ETA had issued a warning to evacuate the building but the citizens did not have enough time to flee. The Spanish police claimed the instructions given by ETA were unclear and confusing. Then, after the murder of a woman who had defected from ETA to return to a normal life and start a family, anti-ETA protests began to erupt in the Basque region itself. ETA soon after declared a ceasefire but it probably was too little too late; the Basque separatist cause was tainted.
    The 1990s saw a new era for ETA and, some would say, new lows as well. The three top leaders of ETA declared a new ceasefire, came out of hiding, and resigned from any future revolutionary activity. The ceasefire lasted less than two weeks. An ETA sponsored organization of adolescents called the Y Group emerged. The older members of the terrorist organization were mostly in prison, so  activities were turned over to this gang of young street thugs who went on a rampage of bombings, arson, rioting, and fighting police with Molotov cocktails. After some larger, and more serious attempts to disrupt the lives of the Spanish citizens, ETA kidnapped a politician named Miguel Angel Blanco. They claimed they would kill him if their demands to have all imprisoned ETA members turned over to prisons in the Basque region were not met. The Spanish government refused to negotiate with them and soon they found the politician’s dead body perforated with gun shot wounds. The public outcry, both Spanish and Basque, was loud and ETA sunk even further into unpopularity.
    After the turn of the century, ETA increased their number of bombings attacks. Some were deadly but many of them failed. The war in Yugoslavia and Kosovo’s movement to break free from Serbia inspired new enthusiasm for the Basque cause but the September 11 Al Qaeda attacks on New York City made terrorists look less like legitimate freedom fighters and more like a menace. ETA’s support continued to wane. In 2006, after negotiating with the Spanish government, ETA declared a permanent ceasefire and a turn to non-violent, democratic politics; the peace did not last for more than a couple weeks. A van bombing in an airport that killed two people renewed their lust for  for violent revolution.
In 2011, ETA declared a ceasefire yet again with a call to end all terrorist activities but this was met with suspicion by the general public. Some ETA members continued to call for armed confrontation but little of anything happened.
    Finally in 2018, after close to 900 people had died in their terrorist attacks over a period of 50 years, ETA announced to the media their final disbandment and dissolution. ETA supposedly exists no more. Many people still remain unconvinced. With the initiation of the Catalan independence movement, many fear that the violent Basque separatists might just be waiting for a more opportune time to re-emerge.

November 14: Smashing the Wait: Gravity Falls
Writing about something that isn’t Smash might seem odd, but that’s how we roll here. Besides, this is POST #200! After months and months, I’ve managed to finally hit that milestone. Anyway, as with last time, we’ll be back to regular business tomorrow.
Tumblr media
Sent there with his sister for their summer vacation, the sleepy backwoods town of Gravity Falls, Oregon seems a bit...off to nebbish pre-teen Dipper Pines (Jason Ritter). They’ll be living with their sleazy great-uncle Stan (series creator Alex Hirsch), an aging con artist whose life’s work is a museum of fake curios and even more fake cryptids called the Mystery Shack. And while it doesn’t stem from nonsense like the “Sascrotch” or “Six Pack o’ Lope,” the town itself has an undeniable aura of darkness. Sure, Dipper’s hyperactive twin Mabel (Kristen Schaal) has taken to the nature well, Stan’s handyman Soos (Hirsch) is wonderful, and cute retail worker Wendy (Linda Cardellini) is super cool. But the town is filled with frightful noises, graffiti and markings of eyes or symbols, and shadows of things that should not be. At the very least, that mailman has to be a werewolf.
It’s only natural that Dipper stumbles onto a bizarre journal hidden in a secret stash. It’s his own Dungeons & Dragons monster manual, with mysterious notes cataloging unicorns, gnomes, zombies, leprecorns, flying eyeballs, even Bat Boy from Weekly World News. Its unknown author also makes clear one thing: in Gravity Falls, there are legitimate dark forces at work, and there is no one you can trust to not be part of that. But Dipper and Mabel's “mystery twins” bond won’t be broken so easily, and they start working together to discover the secrets behind this Podunk village - though not before enjoying the arcade and pool, watching incomprehensible informercials, and getting mixed up with the town’s absurd personalities. They’re still on summer break, after all, with new friends to make, romances to have, and capers to pull off.
Tumblr media
At first glance, Gravity Falls is a fairly obvious kid-friendly love letter to two of my absolute favorite shows. The Twin Peaks element is fairly huge. There’s a small town in the Pacific Northwest filled with eccentrics, a bunch of mysteries that run the gamut from silly to horrifying, and even an TV show that acts as a Greek chorus for the actual story (in Twin Peaks it was Invitation to Love; Gravity Falls has Ducktective). And it’s just as clearly based on The X-Files, which also drew from Peaks. The world is one where any stretch of woods could be home to all manner of wonderful and terrible things, creatures that can only live just on the outskirts of the imagination. It even reuses on of that show’s most iconic lines, “trust no one,” to describe the web of conspiracy and threat which slowly surrounds the kids. So just on that note, it definitely pushes my buttons.*
* Side note: I can’t imagine I’ll get to either of them for an actual post, but do also watch Twin Peaks and The X-Files. They’re both excellent.
But the show is so much more than that - and more than its references to other things Alex Hirsch likes (amongst them video games, tabletop RPGs, pinball, elaborate puzzles, 1980s pop songs and adventure movies, body horror, rap songs that invent new words, and painfully bad puns). It’s also an ode to the experience of being on vacation as a kid, of exploring someplace a bit out there from civilization. The unknown can be exciting and fun in a way that’s harder to feel when you’re older, and the idea that anything can happen off the beaten trail is intoxicating. Plus, there’s that sense of fleeting abandon; after all, it’ll all be over soon, so why not go crazy? That childhood perspective is especially valuable, and it allows the show its breadth of tone. Living Street Fighter shotoclones and a race of hyper-masculine “manotaurs” comfortably exist in the same story as Eldritch behemoths and multi-generation tragedies, because they all come from the perspective of two kids discovering these for themselves. Its damn fine cast is part of that, as is the great writing and gorgeous animation (courtesy of that sweet, sexy Disney moolah). But I think its wedding of flighty, silly kids’ adventures to older horror and pain is the center of what makes it work so well.
Tumblr media
Why should Super Smash Bros. fans watch it? “Ridley in the clouds.” “A photoshopped Little Mac.” Nonexistent radio interviews. Smash fans love ourselves conspiracies, hoaxes, tricks, and leaks. It’s a part of the process inexorable for fans, and those who try to avoid them find it incredibly difficult. We place a lot of stock in them, and I think looking at a silly show about wild hoaxes might be a good way to take them into perspective. Sometimes, a wild rumor isn’t more than a rock that looks like a face. This isn’t to say it’s bad to enjoy them or want them true, but maybe it’s alright to treat them with a bit more levity. Sometimes, a low resolution photo isn’t any more than a “thighclops,” and that’s okay! It’s even worth celebrating.
Gravity Falls might also be valuable by being a kids’ show that doesn’t shy away from darker or older topics. It’s a story about youth, but - like EarthBound in a way - it’s also a story about the bittersweet pains of slowly leaving childhood. The eye of Smash looks at a wide range of players and fans. There are people far my senior and kids far my junior who all like it, and who got into it in a myriad of ways. But I think it might be good to occasionally look at the game from the latter perspective. A lot of younger and newer players might not feel the weight of decades of gaming history, seeing it as “just” a game. For all that Sakurai looks to history, this series is always a fun fighting game first and foremost; the series’ themes and artistic ambitions come from the play just as much than they do from any trophy or spirit. It’s sometimes good to go back a bit, and enjoy the game with that perspective.

After crashing the wedding of Y/N and Kylo Ren they capture Y/N and promise to publically execute her unless Kylo and the First Order agrees with their outlandish requests. Now Y/N must find a way to escape and return to Kylo before an unexpected war breaks out across the galaxy.
Y/N= Your name
All research is done on Wookiepedia or Starwars.wiki

Chapter Two: Home to you. 
Y/N ran through the maze of halls, unsure of where she was going. Her original plan was to find that hatch she had seen but suddenly aware that she didn’t even know what planet she was on, going out into the atmosphere may be a bad idea. “Hey, halt!” She heard a voice yell from behind her. Y/N spun around to see an officer charge in her direction, stunning baton in hand. With one quick movement, Y/N slammed his body to the ceiling and then to the wall knocking him out cold. She looked around to make sure there were no other guards before an idea came to her. Quickly she dragged the officer’s body behind the nearest corridor and into a storage closet. Swiftly she changed out of her torn wedding dress and into the man’s red uniform, the loose fabric hung on her frame but it masked her identity long enough for her to make an inconspicuous escape. Y/N starred at the unconscious man before she pressed her hand to his forehead and forced her way into his mind. Y/N searched his memories for any information about this base, where she was, how to escape, after a brief moment she saw a planet, it was Naboo. She watched the man’s memories of the night they attacked her and Kylo, the night they had taken her away. She recognized the ship as it took off and left the planet, but not the system. The ship had traveled past the desert planet but had not jumped into hyper-drive, they didn’t need to, they weren’t going far. At first, Y/N thought they had taken her to one of Naboo’s moons but she was wrong, she was on the next planet in the Naboo system, she was on Widow. “I can fly back to Naboo easily,” Y/N thought to herself. “But where are the ships?” She plunged deeper into this man’s mind, forcing the information to come to her, it was strangely satisfying to take the knowledge she needed without hesitation. That was when she saw the base, it was small, this must not be their headquarters, but a hideout, a secret location. The base was divided into four components, separate buildings attached by a series of tunnels, and the farthest building was the hanger, she saw the many ships the brotherhood had commandeered over the years. An array of both Resistance and First Order ships, some as old as the days of the Empire, any one of these would take her Naboo easily. She released the man freeing herself from his mind and carefully opened the door, peering into the hallway an eerie quiet overcame the base. Slowly Y/N snuck out and made her way to the hanger, hoping to be as inconspicuous as possible as she made her way through the twisting halls she tried to avoid eye contact with every officer she passed. The brotherhood wore fabric face masks that covered the majority of their face except for their eyes, staring into the eyes of the enemy was always more offputting than staring at a metallic mask. Y/N kept her eyes forward and tried to remain calm, she could feel her heart accelerate as she passed by two large men, one of them decorated with a dark red stripe across their chest, she knew he must be the general. “Hey, you!” The man called out. Y/N stopped and slowly turned around to face him. “Come here,” He signaled, hesitantly Y/N approached the general. He was far taller than she was, so much so that Y/N had to look up to make eye contact, his shoulders were broad and a crooked scar ran across his left eye, making him all the most intimidating. “Where’s your weapon soldier?” He asked Y/N panicked suddenly remembering the stunning baton she had left in the closet. She paused, “uhhh,” She began trying to lower her vocal range. “Speak up man, where is your weapon?” Y/N noticed the other soldier slowly unlatch his batton from his belt, they were on to her. “Uhh, on my way to get it, sir.” She replied. The man narrowed his eyes, “Present your identification,” He ordered. The man beside him flicked his baton on. “Sir?” Y/N asked, “Present your identification... soldier,” He repeated. The two men stepped towards Y/N and just when they were about to attack an alarm blared. “Prisoner out of cell, I repeat prisoner out of cell!” A voice sounded over the speakers. The two men turned towards Y/N, the girl paused before saying, “...shit.” 
Y/N took off in the opposite direction, the two men barreling after her, stunning batons armed and ready. “Prisoner over here!” one of the men shouted, panicking Y/N spun around and extended her arms, clenching the men’s throats she knocked them together before turning towards the hanger. Y/N could hear the stampede of boots behind her though she dare not turn around, as she passed a corner she reached out towards the large metal door and ripped it from its hinges, throwing it behind her. She turned a corner, the hanger in sight, she could see the ships now when suddenly a group of soldiers appeared, blocking the only entrance. “Halt, there’s nowhere to go, we have you now!” One of the guards said. Y/N smirked, “You underestimate me,” She replied pulling the mask off her face. “Big mistake,” And with that, she dug her heel into the ground and lunged towards the army, yanking their batons from their hands she crashed the weapons together sending an array of sparks flying through the air. Y/N leaped at the men parting the soldiers like the Red Sea she cleared a path towards the hanger. Y/N bolted into the large room and without any hesitation ran towards the first ship she saw, an old X-Wing painted in bright Red and White. Quickly she unlatched the top and slid in, not even taking the time to strap herself down before bringing the old ship to life. She stared at the foreign controls, suddenly wishing she had chosen a TIE Fighter instead. “It’s okay, it’s okay,” She whispered, “I can do this,” “Hey!” A blaster shot bounced off the cockpit’s canopy startling Y/N. She looked over to see a group of soldiers filing into the hanger and behind them, Argent. “Okay, no time to debate, we just gotta,” Y/N rapidly pressed familiar buttons. “GO!” Pulling back on the yoke the X-wing jolted forward, flipping a few more switched Y/N managed to get it off the ground and out of the hanger. Alarms blared as the ship shakily took off into the atmosphere, unsure of what to do Y/N randomly pressed a few buttons until the ship leveled out and the alarms ceased.Y/N turned around and watched as the planet grew smaller and smaller, no longer sensing Argent’s presence and surprised that she wasn’t being followed Y/N breathed out a sigh of relief. “Now,” She said, “To get to Naboo,” Carefully she punched in the coordinate of the planet and began her journey back. Feeling hopeful but also skeptical that her escape was too easy.
Kylo POV: 
The First Order’s fleets headed towards Naboo, although Kylo didn’t know where in the system the Brotherhood had taken his wife it was a start. The desert planet came into view, the fleet maintained their position in the atmosphere while Kylo took a few transporter shuttles down to the surface. The citizens of Theed watched nervously, huddling close together as the Supreme Leader stepped foot into the gorgeous city. Parents held their children close by and hurried away as the troopers lined the streets. The air was warm and vessels floated gently on the tranquil Solleu river. The floating city was paradise to those who lived there and unbeknownst was the evil that lurked within. Kylo ordered Hux to patrol the city with a squadron while he headed back towards the Lake County to search Varykino.” Be on the lookout for any members of the brotherhood, harm no civilians but if you see Graves... kill on sight.” The General nodded before turning and commanding his troopers and addressing the crowd. Kylo boarded his ship and headed towards Varykino, the same resort he and Y/N had been married at not too long ago. The paradise that once held happy memories now created a sour taste in Kylo’s mouth. Kylo landed his ship and began to explore the terrain, it was abandoned as it had been for many years despite the upkeeping it had undergone for the wedding. Dried flowers and melted candles peppered the dusty burnt ground. A tapestry lay ripped in two, covered in dark ash, once a place of beauty was now frozen in a terrible memory. The Pontifex’s body was gone, Kylo supposed that somebody had come by and discovered the grizzly scene, his blood however still stained the marble. As Kylo walked along to balcony, his fingers tracing the stone he paused, suddenly sensing a familiar presence, he turned around only to see a figure draped in loose red fabric, their face hidden by the large hood. It was the same uniform as the Brotherhood, Kylo instinctively grabbed his lightsaber, igniting it, his face illuminated by the red glow. 
Y/N POV
Y/N glided over the surface of Naboo completely satisfied with her ability to find the planet. She had decided to return for a myriad of reasons, to change her clothes into something less conspicuous, to find a new ship one the Brotherhood likely wasn’t tracking, and most importantly, she knew that if her husband was coming to find her the first place he’d check would be where he’d seen her last. She was just hoping her instinct was right. Landing the small X-Wing on Varykino Y/N managed to be unseen by pedestrians, she quickly exited the ship and headed towards the lodge her and Kylo had planned on staying in after the ceremony, hoping her belongings were still in her room. She was stopped however by the familiar sound of a ship landing, the vessel kicked up a storm of dust even from far away forcing Y/N to lift her hood over her eyes. Y/N quickly ducked behind her ship worried that the Brotherhood had followed her after all. As the dust settled she peered around the X-wing and gazed upon a small transported ship from the First Order. As the door opened Y/N as met with the familiar presence of her soulmate, he had found her. She watched, frozen in place from the overwhelming joy as he walked along the balcony where they had been wed, he was alone. Slowly she approached him, her heart pounding in her chest, he turned towards her, Y/N saw the pain in his eyes, she opened her mouth to speak but before she could he had ignited his lightsaber, rage overwhelming his being. Y/N paused, confused as he began to lunge towards her before she remembered what she was wearing. “Wait!” She cried as she removed her hood revealing her face. Kylo jolted to a stop the anger fading from his face and being replaced by sudden tears of joy. He extinguished his saber and dropped it to the ground, “Y/N,” He whispered, his breathing sporadic, the couple ran towards each other meeting halfway and melting into the other’s arms. The two began to cry, dropping to the ground in a heap, Y/N buried her face in the crook of her soulmate’s neck who had pulled her onto his lap and wrapped her in his arms, planting kisses on the top of her head, her face, her hands, her wrist, everywhere he could, overcome with joy. Y/N melted into the man, wrapping her arms around his neck, refusing to let go, sobbing into his uniform. After a moment she lifted her head and stared into his eyes, “I knew you’d find me,” She whispered before planting a kiss on his lips, “We found each other,” Kylo replied, “We will always find each other,” The two sat like that for a while, not as two separate people but as one couple, one soul, in total bliss, and so very unaware of the sounds from above indicating the impending ships growing closer and closer. 
END OF CHAPTER TWO!!
I always try to make everything as clear as possible but if you ever have any questions about my logic feel free to ask and I’ll explain it. 
So so sorry this took so long to publish, I’ve been very busy and will be very busy this week but I will try to knock out a few more chapters soon! I am hoping to maybe make a filler chapter that just explains the Palpatine Brotherhood and their background before we get more in-depth with this plot. I hope you enjoyed this let me know if you want more!! 
ALSO!!! I am taking requests for one-shots, imagines, etc... inbox me your requests I’ll be making a “rules” post so be on the lookout for that! I want to do some more writing so... let’s go.
