[sneezemonster15]

Okay so let's talk about some esoteric shit, the God Tree, the Infinite Tsukuyomi tree.

Some context. One can see the influence of Japanese folklores and mythology and various other belief systems/philosophies in Kishimoto's work, the way he draws inspiration from them and adorns his own story with these symbolic and narrative elements, whether it be South or East Asian philosophy (Buddhist Hinayana philosophy, Confucian philosophy, Shinto, ancient Chinese philosophy, Bushido etc). There are inspirations from Japanese mythology (Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Totsuka blade, Kusanagi sword) and literature, such as Chikamatsu, but also one can see the influence of modern phenomena. Art forms such as superflat art, pioneered by Takashi Murakami.

This is Murakami's art.

Or Kishi's funny little tribute to the greatest rock artist the world ever saw, Freddie Mercury. And he IS, I won't brook any arguments there.

Or his tribute to the most iconic pugilist Mohammed Ali aka Cassius Clay, in the character of Killer Bee. He didn't even miss the famous line said by the man, who "Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee."

So when I saw the God tree, I wondered if there was some context behind it that I didn't know about. I mean there's a hell lot of literature about trees and their significance in various cultures across the world. Whether it be Judeo- Christian mythology, South East Asian mythology, Germanic mythology or Celtic polytheism, Greek and Egyptian mythologies.

Japanese culture is no different, in fact they have a whole host of myths regarding trees, they have deep roots found in the concepts of both spirituality and doom, being considered indicators or harbingers of good or bad luck, fortune, having healing properties, and even for entertainment.

'Yokai' is a Japanese term that roughly translates into supernatural beings.

Yokai is a difficult term to translate into English and you will sometimes see it as demon, monster or goblin. However, yokai is much broader than that and encompass all manner of supernatural phenomena.

'Jubokko' is a kind of Yokai tree, its accounts have been recorded in Japanese folklores.

Sourced from Wikipedia :

According to folklore, Jubokko appears in former battlefields where many people have died, and its appearance does not differ that much from ordinary trees. Since it becomes a yōkai tree by sucking up large quantities of blood from the dead, it lives on human blood. When a human being happens to pass by, it supposedly captures the victim and, changing its branches into the shape of a tube, sucks the blood out of the victim. A Jubokko that sucks life out of human beings in such a way is said to always maintain a fresh appearance.

Sound familiar? We can see how Kishi might have drawn inspiration from this phenomenon, and who wouldn't, all of it sounds scrumptious. Creepy Japanese folklores and urban legends are just amazing and bone chilling to read about. Quite a lot of fun.

You know who famously contributed to Yokai art and made it really really popular in Japan?

Hokusai.

These are some of his Yokai woodblock prints.

Really, how delicious is this?

Yep, this is the same dude who created the most iconic and recognisable set of woodblock prints to come out of Japan, known all over the world as:

'Thirty six views of Mount Fuji'.

So we can certainly see the influence and the underlying concept behind Kishi's designs. And it's not just Kishimoto, other artists have also been inspired by tree folklores. Take Miyazaki in his 'My neighbour Totoro' (I can't put in words how much I love that film) wherein Totoro is depicted as a supernatural being taking the form of a camphor tree, or Princess Mononoke, the inclusion of the concept of Kodama, tree spirits that reside in special trees in ancient forests, a concept drawn from Shintoism.

However, a few days ago, I was doing a rerun of my favourite Monty Python's movies. By the way, shout out to my fellow Monty Python fans, you guys have the best taste.

So at the time, I was watching 'Life of Brian'. And guess what I found when I was watching the credit roll.

Look familiar???

Lol.

And I was intrigued. Really Kishi? Monty Python? Seriously? You? But well, not like you haven't taken me by surprise before. And Monty Python has been seriously popular all over the world for over fifty years. But I couldn't reconcile the thought of the Japanese appreciating the kind of humor that Monty Python pushes. If you have seen Monty Python, you know what I mean. But I was again proven wrong, and I couldn't be happier about it.

Apparently, Monty Python has been so popular in Japan, even Eric Idle couldn't help showing up for it. Honestly, I am not really that surprised after all. Monty Python is awesome. Hell, if I were reeling from a devastating war, I would religiously watch Monty Python too.

Ah, Kishi, peeling off those layers in your manga, quite a task, but worth it, heh?

Monty Python's style of animation and art was quite revolutionary at the time it was first featured. It started as a placeholder back in the days when Monty Python Flying Circus was just taking flight on BBC, but look how far it has come. And aren't we all the better for it?

I could still be missing something, but the theory still seems quite plausible to me. And I doubt there will be many counter points to something like this. This is what I am going to believe nevertheless. I like it, I like it very much. Kishi, you got good taste. But well, we already knew that.

P.S. - This again goes to show how ridiculous the opinion is that a professional artist can write or draw something accidentally. NOTHING is accidental. It's just that YOU in all your ignorant ass glory don't know what lies underneath. Or overneath really, you guys are seriously lame. People who say shit like this have no idea, NONE, about the kind of effort and inspiration that goes into creating art. Like I don't know how long you are gonna delude yourself, but why cut off your nose to spite your face? Is it really worth it? Tch.

holding a metaphorical knife to ur metaphorical throat to make u keep talking actually (hi this is marwankenzarisetc this is my main. im not threatening u out of the blue.) all of this is delicious bcc quynh . <- man who feels normal about everything just had an extremely well-adjusted emotional reaction to the mental image presented to him. tog2 is just that gif of kingston hitting jas with a kendo stick except its q&b and we all sit there and enjoy it deeply <3 OLYMPIC DARLING NILE. what i would rly enjoy is if olympic darling nile ends up joining some deeply gimmicky faction (think julia hart & the house of black) bc even tho she's just a really damn good wrestler she also loves a bit of fun.

i need you to talk most about luchador joe tho. everything else ive said up to this point has just been me burying the lucha joe lead.

are we thinking the whole nine yards flippy dippy shit beautiful mask highly perfected gear ? are we thinking rivalry with nicky while in the back nicky has this crush on this beautiful guy he hasn't seen around often and has never talked to but stares at deeply ? are we thinking joe being like dude this is getting to much why does di genova keep staring at me in the back. cant he keep it for the ring. all i know for certain is that i need (Need) joe to have tassels framing his ass and thighs

thinking abt where andy fits into all of this tho. part of me thinks she's one of those indies wrestlers who refuses to leave the indies partially on principle partially bc she way prefers her own schedule OR. she could be nile's sting. this might be getting out of hand

(x) U r coming 2 me in a constant state of drawing quynh in leather pride bullshit, which I never finish, but BY FUCK I'm starting another piece abt this. 

All I can think abt is yusuf in a mask that is also litham in that way, like, elaborate fashion editorial jewelry is influenced by the silhouette of hijab. Actually that's a lie I can also think about him freestyling at people a la Mohammed Ali, and putting cologne on his knees so headlocks are nice for both parties, and being an undefeated scamp. Lov this guy. And his assless chaps.

ANYWay I think luchador fits joe for the fast pace/style and nicky is an endurance test for him, in a way that makes their raven;s rules feud so annoying, which is already annoying bc neither of them wins more than once at a stretch. Joe hits alec-baldwin-in-the-spongebob-movie with a light bulb, he tells joe his rhymes are dumb. etc. Nicky blows him in an ER curtain-cubicle & joe is like 'oh, so you're certifiable' and writes his phone number behind nicky's ear in like, purple sharpie. (nicky: you just have a prison wallet of pastel markers on you 24/7? yusuf: what I'm hearing here is no one's ever asked you to sign anything. NARRATOR: THIS WAS TRUE)

cosigning your nile stuff. I wanna say andy has classic roots too, bc parallels?? She comes up in a trenchcoat like 'ey kid, do you want to wear studded gloves but like, for work?' and nile leaves skid marks towards the kitschiest adrenaline-junkie shit possible. 

#tog #asks #heel nicolo.. #booker like 'don't you want people to like you :(' and nicky calls him a slur #I want to see Joe and Andy tag team… #WANT 2 SEE ANDY AND NILE TAG TEAM. #Once again Ty for the brainworms

[bisluthq]

Ali is too shy I feel. Being a fan isn't an issue because a lot of people who liked her music went on to become her friends like Dylan, Gigi (yes she mentioned she was a fan first) and a couple others. Also she'd never be besties with anyone who gets to makeout with her man x 13 lol but I'm sure she's friendly enough

Ehhh I don’t think the making out is a big deal at all lol - her and Maggie were already friends before and defs haven’t drifted just because Maggie did sex scenes with Joe dude and hers were most probably “worse” since octogenarian French arthouse director Claire Denis defs doesn’t know what the fuck an intimacy coordinator is - but you can’t seriously compare Dylan O’Brien and Gigi Hadid with a girl who had literally just been in uni. Like it’s not the same. Gigi Hadid has been famous most of her life and has a ton of famous friends, many of whom she’d fangirled. Dylan O’Brien is extremely fucking famous and similarly has met tons of people. Both of them had mutuals with Taylor.

Alison Oliver was working at a vegan burger shop and the most famous person she knew was Paul Mescal and he’d only been famous for a few months. She once got to meet Graham Norton apparently through friends and he found it a bit funny she wanted to be an actress.

Like dude Alison meeting Taylor is FAR closer to one of y’all meeting Taylor than it is to the star of The Maze Runner, who lives a few houses away from Taylor in Tribeca because he’s also fuck rich, and who has mutual friends with her, finally befriending Tay after years of fanboying and admiration.

Guys it once more astonishes me how you don’t get the sheer scale of what happened to Alison (and what had once happened to Joe, Paul had been working for a little while already he just couldn’t book a film or Telly role and what happened to him is also insane) and compare her to…. Yolanda and Mohamed Hadid’s kid????? Who was a famous model and had been a famous CHILD lol???

ok what is baki about

Baki is about this dude named Baki who’s dad is the strongest living thing on the planet who killed his mom and so Baki himself strives to become stronger than him because he both hates his dad and also hates fighting so hes also doing it just to stop after he kills his dad

DC Comics Cyborg gets so bent out of shape about the fact that he can’t play sports anymore.

But like, you won, dude. You won sports. You’re a better basketball player than Lebron James. A better sprinter than Usain Bolt. A better boxer than Muhammad Ali. You’re done. That shit is beneath you now.

[worldcupofhotness]

Meet the Team: EGYPT!

Now that squads have been announced, we can look more closely into the hotness of the individual teams. I mean, that’s what we’re here for, right? For each team, I’ll talk a bit about the squad, then highlight ten hotties (trying to be attentive to many types of hotness), doing my best to split them evenly amongst the field.

Today: EGYPT!

Egypt have an exciting counter-attacking side with a strong defense to match, they just have to get careful not to get stuck in against a team that decides to sit deep and defend. Many expect them to pip the hosts Russia to second place in group qualifying. Why? They have one of the most exciting players in the world in Mo Salah. A shoulder injury in the Champions League final might have ruled him out, but it looks like he’ll be good to play.

Nickname: The Pharoahs Chant: Mo Salah, Mo Salah, Mo Salah! Running Down the Wing! Mo Salah, Mo Salah, Mo Salah! Egyptian King!

Goalkeepers:

Essam El Hadary, #1 (home club: Al Taawoun)

Mohamed El-Shennawy, #23 (home club: Al Ahly SC)

Sherif Ekramy, #16 (home club: Al Ahly SC)

Stop asking questions. Let this giant hunk o’ man leap into your heart.

Defenders: 

Ahmed Elmohamady, #3 (home club: Aston Villa FC)

Tarek Hamed, #8 (home club:  Zamalek)

Mohamed Abdel-Shafy, #13 (home club: Al Ahly SC)

Saad Samir, #20 (home club: Al Ahly SC)

Aly Gabr, #2 (home club: West Bromwich Albion FC)

Rugged lumberjack and baby-faced model? Get you a man who can do both.

Ahmed Hegazy, #6 (home club: West Bromwich Albion FC)

Talk about hair envy. And that middle pic is making my mind go to interesting places.  

Ahmed Fathi, #7 (home club: Al Ahly)

I prefer the bearded rough guy look, but as you can see above, Fathy can also rock the clean-shaven Disney Prince aesthetic.

Ayman Ashraf, #12 (home club: Al Ahly)

Few men can so casually pull off a double breasted suit. And those THIGHS.

Mahmoud Hamdy El Wensh, #15 (home club: Zamalek)

Sass, style, smile.

Midfielders: 

Omar Gaber, #4 (home club:  Los Angeles FC)

Sam Morsy, #5 (home club: Wigan Athletic FC)

Mohamed Elneny, #17 (home club:  Arsenal FC)

Abdallah  El Said, #19 (home club:  Kuopion PS)

Well that’s just not fair.

Mahmoud Hassan Trézéguet, #21 (home club: Kasimpasa SK)

Did this guy get lost on the way to the J. Crew interview and end up on the Egyptian National Team? 

Forwards: 

Ramadan Sobhi, #14 (home club: Stoke City FC)

Shikabala, #18 (home club: Al Raed SC)

Amr Warda, #22 (home club: Atromitos FC)

Marwan Mohsen, #9 (home club: Al Ahly SC)

This dude’s got swagger. I’m not gonna argue with him.

Mohamed Salah, #10 (home club: Liverpool)

Salah isn’t your usual heart-throb, but talent is sexy. Confidence is sexy. An easy smile that twinkles in your eye, and a personality to match? Screw “usual,” Mo Salah’s the Egyptian King!

Mahmoud Kahraba, #11 (home club: Al Ittihad Jeddah)

This guy looks like he’d be so much fun to party with. And you’ll need to after he scores a bucket full of goals!

Damn, Egypt. An impressive display.

Overwatch Summer Event Skins Predictions

aight dudes, we already know Sombra is gettin somethin as seen in that PTR glitch - my prediction is that they might go for a combo of the 2016 nationalities skins and the 2017 actual summer themed skins

first off, if any of these characters get a skin I’ll flip my fuckign shit bc they got a new skin for both the 2016 and 2017 summer event:

Mercy (winged victory/eidgenossin)

Mccree (lifeguard/american)

Widowmaker (côte d’azur/tricolore)

anyway, as for my predictions:

Sombra nationalities skin (again that oddly specific PTR glitch)

Doomfist boxing skin would be hella rad (he already has a spray referencing Mohamed Ali so get on it blizzard)

Winston in a 1920s stripped one piece swim suit bc fuk u

something that lets us see Pharah’s buff arms pls and thank (honestly probs a nationalities skin, but would it be Egypt or Canada?)

Wrecking Ball as a god damn beach ball

let our boi Reinhardt flaunt that sweet sweet German flag

idk what it would be but give Moira another skin pls (i beg u, blackwatch is the only good one she has) - tbh it could be a nationalities or sport themed one?

Zenyatta because it’s honestly been a hot minute since he’s gotten a skin (but I have no idea what it’d be?? he doesn’t really have a nationality)

D.va in a bikini because I’m a thirsty bitch, wAIT no... fuckign... ice cream truck mech... yeah buddy

Genji but like his normal default skin but he’s wearing a dumb Hawaiian shirt, like 2 different colored leis, and tacky swim trunks (bonus: his sword = pool noodle)

that’s all I got (feel free to add your own!)

[urfavmurtad]

So while watching Nouman Ali Khan videos today out of self-loathing I came across this lecture from a Georgetown Islamic Studies professor on slavery in Islam from last year, which apparently briefly made news when it happened but was then forgotten. I recognized the guy’s name from a book of his I read a while ago, and at the time I found him one of the more reasonable Muslim apologists, so I gave it a chance.

The first 30 minutes or so are pretty normal and don’t even relate to Islam that much. Slavery as practiced in America is Very Bad, he begins. Not just in the past, but in the present! Prison labor: Very Bad! The Atlantic slave trade: Very Bad! But what if… some slavery… is Not Bad Actually? In fact, what if slavery isn’t even a real thing? Please allow me to quote him:

Slavery cannot just be treated as a moral evil in and of itself because slavery doesn’t mean anything. The moral evil is extreme forms of deprivation of rights and extreme forms of control and extreme forms of exploitation. I don’t think it’s morally evil to own somebody because we own lots of people all around us and were owned by people and this obsession about thinking of slavery as property.

Don’t think of slaves as property… because capitalism, I think? Though not in a Marxist way, because “I don’t think it’s morally evil to own somebody”. Not-slavery was just a matter of smart economic sense, he says. “Slaves in Islamic civilization were mostly investments,” unlike those other, actual slaves who were used for… work?

The point is, owning someone in and of itself is not an innately terrible moral crime. I mean, that sort of thinking is just unhelpful and shuts down conversations. He continues:

I think that’s actually a really odd and unhelpful way to think about slavery. It kind of gets you locked in this way of thinking that if you talk about ownership and people that you’ve already transgressed some moral boundary that you can’t come back from. I don’t think that’s true at all.

Some poor misguided student asks him if this entire line of thought is perhaps insane, because owning people as property is unquestionably a bad and evil thing, to which he replies that, well, Mohammed owned slaves, so how bad can it be?

Are you more morally mature than the Prophet of God? No, you’re not.

Actual quote! Throwing down the Prophet Card ends that discussion.

The topic then moves to sexual slavery in Islam, in particular. Raping sex slaves seems pretty bad. But no, it too is Not Bad Actually. I mean, aren’t we all sex slaves, in some sense?

For most of human history, human beings have not thought of consent as the essential feature of morally correct sexual activity. And second, we fetishize the idea of autonomy to where we forget, who is really free?

None of us are free. Some of us, for example, have mortgages and children that prevent us from having a midlife crisis.

Are we really autonomous people? I mean what does autonomy mean? Can I just drive—can I be like a cowboy and in a movie or an action TV series where I just get on my motorcycle and just ride to the West? No, I got kids. I have a mortgage.

I can’t be a cowboy, so I am un-free, like a sex slave whose male relatives were murdered prior to her being gifted to their killers and raped on a daily basis.

(Oh, did I mention that, according to him, the thing that prompted this lecture is Daesh taking Yazidi women as sex slaves?)

If that solid argument doesn’t convince you that sexual slavery is Not Bad Actually, consider: sex slaves aren’t really that different from a guy’s wife, anyway.

This is not to demean the status of woman in Islam or Islamic civilization at all, but a concubine’s autonomy was not that different from the autonomy of a wife, because for most of human history and most of Islamic civilization, women got married to the person that their family wanted them to get married to. The idea of being autonomous and saying, “I need to be in love with him. I need to go have this, you know, Jane Austen-like courtship with him.” That was hogwash.

I know what you’re thinking: this guy isn’t actually Muslim but is a sleeper agent from Breitbart or something. Look at him, dude looks like a standard right-winger. But no. He’s a white convert who apparently thought “sex slaves and wives are basically the same thing imo” was an appealing philosophy. Unsurprisingly, his twitter and FB pages are now Tariq Ramadan Unofficial Fan Accounts, where he whines about how a guy accused of assaulting multiple (Muslim!!) women is being treated unfairly, along with the usual self-pity.

Shoutout to the noble house of Al Saud for blessing us with men of such strong moral fiber, as always.

Blood, Sex and Whiskey - Part 4

$ecret – Part A

Warnings: None for this part. Cursing?

A/N: Two things. Teaser clip triggered this. Was going to hold out for a few days to write this next bit but that cute little exchange of men perfectly aligned where I was going to take this. Secondly, Ben with a southern/Bostonian accent might be the death of me. Also sorry that is just a part within a part – can’t help but be a tease 😃  

Tag list: @iheartbinbons @binbonsadoration @delos-mio @lafemmedemon @la-fille-en-aiguilles@ladyblablabla @drinix @padfootagain @princesse-de-ravenclaw @lovelysiriuss

Iraq 2002

The air was thick with tension as the shadows of four soldiers slumped their way to the hidden bar. Didn’t matter that they were in Istanbul for the next two days, temporarily considered a safe zone, to find time to unwind. They still walked with their eyes in their pockets, their trained eyes watching civilians on guard.

It was a tough week.

They had lost almost a quarter of their recon team over the past three days and the weight of that realization laid heavy on their minds as they slunk through the door of the well-used establishment. They had decided to go out to distract themselves. Get drunk. Maybe get laid. Anything to help them forget about the impossible mission that was taking them out one by one, like a row of cans standing vulnerable to be shot at.

Billy refused to allow it to bring him down.

He knew loss. Knew what it felt like to look someone you loved dearly in the eyes and tell them that everything was going to be all right while you slowly watched the light burn out of them until you’re left with nothing but their shell. He didn’t get attached anymore so that sort of human experience – grief - could move past him.

His comrades had yet to learn such an art.

Except Frank. Frank, similarly to him, understood that to maintain sanity that meant sacrificing intimacy. It wasn’t the best exchange but it guaranteed an existence that didn’t end with you shooting yourself in the head or getting yourself killed. Ironically, they were closer because of this knowledge, and Billy nudged him now as the group slowly made their way to a booth.

“Bet we’re a sight to see.” He says, his eastern drawl causing a few naked ears to turn their way but nothings done or said. Just watching. Like an exhibit at a museum.

“What do you mean by?” Franks asks, sliding into the booth and Billy shrugs, following his motion.

“You got two white guys, a black dude and they probably think Rafi over here’s Iraqi or Afghanistan or whatever. Never guess the guy was from the islands. We’re like the start of a horribly racist joke.”

Rafi laughs, motioning for a waiter and Billy looks over to their last friend, Jason, who has his head down. In this last run, his good friend and childhood friend had been the last victim. They were mainly out for him. To distract his brain for falling into that dark place that takes away any sense of hope.

“You ok J?”

Jason looks at him, nods before slinking back in his seat and they all exchange glances knowing it was the opposite. Better to pretend that it was fine then dwell on the memories. Memories that could only temporarily fulfill.

“Plan on getting laid tonight Rafi?” Frank interjects as a man with a turban walks over, four beers in his hands. They don’t ask how he knew they wanted beers. Figured it was because of their dog tags, the way they commanded the room when they had entered. It was hard to disguise the fact that they were soldiers, despite how hard they tried. Couldn’t turn it off because that was the difference between living and death.

“I mean, I was going to just sit here and listen to you idiots drone on about who jerks off the best,” That earns a soft kick from Billy from under the table as Rafi smiles, “But I just saw a cute little thing that’s just begging for me to go say hello.”

Billy rolls his eyes as Frank laughs and Rafi slinks out of his seat, his beer nestled safely in his hands.

“I don’t understand how that guy gets so much pussy. He doesn’t have a nice face. Looks like Mohammed Ali practiced a round on it.”

Frank shrugs, taking a sip and shaking his head.

“It’s Rafi. He’s got personality and charm and…….” Frank tappers off before looking at Billy. “I really don’t know how he does it either. He really does have a fucked-up face.”

That causes even Jason to give the smallest of laughs as Billy falls back, playing with his beer, shaking his head.

“I mean it. Back in New York, I could get a dame easy. Didn’t even have to say much. But ever since this Marine life, I’ve been striking out that I might as well call my hand my girlfriend.”

Another laugh from Jason, causing Frank to smile as he slaps him on the back.

“Well, we all hear you moaning out her name each night so it’s no surprise there.” He fires back and Billy smiles, taking another swig and surveying the room. Not because he was paranoid. Because it was what he was trained to do. What they were all trained to do. And he couldn’t turn it off.

“It’s because Rafi is our intel guy. Knows how to read women and tap into them to get what he wants. Then, make them believe they wanted him to leave. Guy has it down to a science,” Jason finally makes eye contact with Billy before giving a sad smirk. “You just are kind of an idiot when you talk to women. It’s like fear – they can smell your stupidity a mile away.”

Frank is laughing harder and Billy can’t help chuckling, shaking his head.

“Whatever man.”

He takes another swig of beer, before placing it on the table and noticing that something has changed. The room’s energy has shifted and he sits up in his seat, hoping that it’s not the worse scenario playing in his head. Recounting the exits and the people he’s already suspected might be in on it.

Frank and Jason notice too, but there not on edge like Billy. Instead, their eyes are too busy following the figure that’s just walked through the door across the room, their beers still frozen on their lips before Jason’s whispering out,

“Damn.”

“Hot damn.” Frank echoes before Billy follows their movement and raises a speculative eye.

“Holy hot damn.” He finishes. The figure that has just walked isn’t wearing anything particularly sexy. Black pencil skirt that hugs you in the right way. Burgundy button down with a jacket pulled over. Your hairs down and it’s a contrast to the business look you are donning. You only have a single bag and they’re all wondering. Journalist? Reporter? You were too cozy with the bartender – speaking perfect Turkish before handing him over a lira and drinking your beer. You sit at the bar, a notebook in front of you as you jot down notes, not paying attention to the men who are watching with ravenous eyes.

Perhaps you were American. Or British. Definitely new world – your mannerisms speaking for themselves.

“She’s mine.” Jason fumbles out and Billy shoots his head toward him.

“Wait, what?! No! That’s not how this works.”

Franks laughs as Jason counters.

“I saw her first.”

“Doesn’t matter! Besides, aren’t you sad? She’s not going to be into a sad dude.”

Jason cracks his knuckles, shaking his head.

 “She’ll condole me. Chicks love that.”

“Does she look like a simple chick to you? No way. ‘Sides, I’m the one with the streak. I should get a chance of talking to her before you all swoop in.”

“Looks like Rafi wins, once again.” Frank chuckles, pointing toward the bar where Rafi has already dumped his previous conquest and is moving toward her. Billy and Jason groan simultaneously, watching as their friend stand beside this new woman.

“Fuck, back to being depressed.” Jason mutters, waving his hand to the waiter for another round.

“Basically.” Billy mutters.

Billy’s all about forgotten about you by the third-round in. Not because he wasn’t intrigued – no, he had chanced to many glances your way. It was the fact that Rafi always got what he wanted and if he wanted you, that left little chance for him.

Except it doesn’t.

He’s walked up to the bar, trying to figure out where they can grab dinner when your voice cuts through the crowd.

“Who’s your friend?”

He hasn’t realized how close he’s stumbled to you and Rafi and he hears his tall friend shrug, immediately returning his attention back to you.

“Oh him? That’s just Billy. Like I was saying, about that time when I went to London-“

You cut him off, placing your hand on his lips as you maneuver your view to look over at Billy, whose drumming his hands on the countertop.

“Hey. Billy.”

Hearing his name roll off your tongue causes him to stop his whistling to look over at you and you smile as you hold up a beer.

“Wanna beer?”

He gives a side grin, cocking his head to the side and you laugh.

“What? Not a beer drinker? Into something earthier. Like bourbon or whiskey?”

Billy chuckles, walking toward you and Rafi who he knows is glaring at him with eye daggers as he moves between him and you.

“While I love a solid cup of whiskey, I’d be more than happy to have a beer with you.”

“Done!” You smile, snapping your fingers and turning toward the bartender. You deliver the order in quick tongue and look back at him. Billy goes into his wallet and you shake your head, stopping him.

“Don’t worry about it. Couple of weeks back, I saved the owners daughter. So I get all my beers for myself and my guests for free.”

Billy smiles as Rafi watches the both of you, his both dropped low before asking, 

“What the hell? I bought our past rounds!”

“Because you invited yourself into my space. You were never invited and quite frankly I’m bored by you. So if you could…..” you nudge toward the table where Frank and Jason are watching in amusement and Billy can’t help to start laughing as Rafi looks at you, mouth still agape as you turn your attention back to Billy.

“So Billy -what’s a gaggle of soldiers like you doing in Istanbul. Far from the sandbox and the rest of your units?”

Billy turns to you as your beers are delivered and shrugs.

“We got the weekend off. Wanted a change of scenery.”

You nod, not pressing as he asks,

“What’s an attractive, smart lady like yourself doing out here?”

You smile, bringing the beer to your lips and taking a slow sip. When your finished swallowing you shrug,

“Journalist. It was more fun to come out here to report updates then stay in a stuffy office in Paris to talk about some stupid party or political move or whatever.”

Billy laughs nodding,

“Restless spirit.”

“Something like that.”

Silence. You both are sizing each other up and down before he asks,

“You bored, restless spirit?”

“I’m horny.” You say and he coughs on his beer at your boldness as you lean closer. “Your friend talks a mean game but I’m not an insecure woman looking for validation in the form of his dick. I’m more into a guy of shy confidence and an air of humor about him.”

He leans closer to you, whispering back,

“What makes you think I’m shy.”

“You’ve been eyeballing me for the past forty minutes but did nothing about it. When you got up I thought you were finally making your move not wimping out.”

“I didn’t wimp out.” Billy barks back and you laugh, getting up and shaking your head.

“A game of pool says otherwise.”

Billy quirks up an eyebrow before asking,

“You saying if I beat you in pool, I get the satisfaction of saying I’m right.”

“Yep,” you smile as you cross your legs and eye him under your lashes. “and if I win I get the satisfaction. Either way gets you laid.”

He shakes his head smiling, not believing his dumb luck.

“You’re on.” He finally relents.

Exclusive: U.S. advancing toward first Guantanamo repatriation under Trump

Exclusive: U.S. advancing toward first Guantanamo repatriation under Trump

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States is advancing toward the first transfer of a prisoner from the Guantanamo Bay detention center under U.S. President Donald Trump, the U.S. military told Reuters on Monday, a move that would repatriate the detainee to Saudi Arabia.

The transfer of 43-year-old Ahmed Muhammed Haza al-Darbi appeared to have stalled in February, when he became eligible but was not repatriated, as allowed under the terms of al-Darbi’s 2014 plea bargain agreement.

The U.S. military said at the time it was waiting for assurances from Saudi Arabia’s government to move forward on his departure.

On Monday, the Pentagon suggested that process was back on track. Navy Commander Sarah Higgins, a spokeswoman, said the Defense Department was “reviewing information received from Saudi Arabia regarding al-Darbi’s transfer.”

“The transfer process is moving forward,” Higgins said. “I have no further information on transfer timing.”

She did not elaborate.

Al-Darbi’s transfer would decrease the prisoner population at the detention center in Cuba to 40 from 41 – despite Trump’s campaign pledge to “to load it up with some bad dudes.”

The prison, which was opened by Republican President George W. Bush to hold terrorism suspects captured overseas after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks came to symbolize harsh detention practices that opened the United States to accusations of torture.

U.S. officials have not ruled out again adding to the prisoner population and have acknowledged trouble repatriating Islamic State fighters being held by U.S.-backed forces in Syria, raising the possibility that Guantanamo Bay could be seen as a viable option in the future.

The news of progress in al-Darbi’s case came before a high-profile trip to Washington by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, his first visit to the United States as Saudi heir apparent.

The crown prince is due to meet Trump at the White House on Tuesday, in a visit that is expected to see both countries publicly emphasize their strong security ties, even as those ties come under intensifying scrutiny in Congress.

‘MESSAGE OF HOPE’

Al-Darbi became eligible for repatriation under the terms of his 2014 plea bargain agreement, in which he admitted to his role in a 2002 attack of against a French-flagged oil tanker off the coast of Yemen, and agreed to cooperate with U.S. authorities. He has been held at Guantanamo Bay for 15 years.

Ramzi Kassem, a law professor at the City University of New York who has been al-Darbi’s lead defense counsel since 2008, told Reuters that a Trump administration move to honor the 2014 agreement would be significant and would be noticed by other inmates.

“Mr. Darbi’s transfer to Saudi custody would send a qualified message of hope to other prisoners that leaving Guantanamo is possible,” Kassem said.

He said the message was qualified in part because “the U.S. government has no interest in prosecuting three quarters of the detainees left today,” which would make them ineligible for such agreements.

Critics of the U.S. military detention system say that militants can be best prosecuted in civilian courts and have seized on the high costs of housing inmates at Guantanamo Bay as one argument why indefinite detention is misguided.

Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, reduced the inmate population to 41 from 242, but fell short of fulfilling his promise to close the jail before leaving office last year.

Trump signed an order in January to keep the Guantanamo Bay detention center open and hinted in his State of the Union address to Congress that Islamic State or al Qaeda fighters could be added to the prison population

Trump also asked the Pentagon to re-examine the U.S. military’s detention policy.

The U.S. military has long struggled with what to do about prisoners of war in an open-ended battle against Islamist extremism, in which militants have come from all corners of the world to fight in places like Syria.

In February, U.S. officials expressed concerns about the lack of a clear path on how to deal with foreign fighters for Islamic State who were detained by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.

U.S. officials say there are hundreds of foreign fighters and thousands of Syrian Islamic State militants in SDF hands.
