#the bear meta submission

[thoughtfulchaos773]

There’s nothing like sleep-yearning me making honest observations, as quickly as possible to go to bed. I think I work better that way! LOL! I’m gonna try to recreate the ask/reflection of the first 1:25min of The Bear (S1e1) I made a few days ago.

So, picking up from the anticipation of a stove top of igniting. Carmy is attempting to rediscover his passion or accept that he is but a tool in this greater machine (read as family - bio and/or OG beef). Just when the flame comes to life, there’s a cut to a bridge. This is the bridge, I assume, where Mikey committed suicide. I’m not sure if that bridge is one where it opens up to let taller ships through and it should be noted that Carmy is crossing into a yellow territory- where things could break apart or herald new ideas to flow. Note: yellow signifies the warning to slow down. And, right there, in the middle, is the caged Bear - sitting right at a breaking point. I see this caged bear as Mikey and Carmy.

This was the dream. This was the end goal. But whose vision was it? Carmy approaches the caged animal, attempting to calm and approach it with “Shh.” He’s crouched down, moving slowly with conscious effort as he nears this wild thing. There’s anxiety within Carmen but it’s controlled and precise. Opening the cage, Carmen whispers that “It’s okay.” The black bear (which is supposed to be a “friendly bear” opposed to a brown bear) comes out as Carmen says: I know. Suddenly, the bear lunges, Carmen wakes up in his blue apron at the OG beef, something buzzing. I notated all of this because, as I mentioned previously, this has shown who Carmen is, the restaurant, his family and what they all mean to each other as well as the lives of those the interact with. Carmen is the peacekeeper- in a way. He’s trying to make things right, show that the family is okay. That he’s okay.

Carmen, at the end of the day, decided to let the bear out of its cage. The proverbial cat is out of the bag. This can stand for so many things; however, the telling part is that all The Bear symbolizes attacks Carmen while he dreams. This may be a foreshadowing of how all encompassing and destructive letting the bear out can be for himself while he’s all alone. That what he thought was the endgame is only going to tear him apart. (Please excuse any typos and such).

I'll add my answer below- really just a reply to your awesome rewatch and meta but to answer your question that us the state Bridge where Mike took his life. @november-rising

Part 6- from the top of my lungs

Dp x DC AU: Regent!Jazz & Vigilante!Jazz

"I step out outside and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I scream from the top of my lungs, 'What's going on?!'" - What's Up? by 4 Non Blondes

Masterlist Part 5

It was probably hypocritical of Danny to lecture Jazz about taking up a vigilante role around their new haunt when he himself couldn’t resist the instinctual urge to give the local breed of stupidity a beatdown. 

If anything, it was a good way to get back into shape.

(Danny’s not fooling anyone, he’s a twink.) (A ghouly goopy ghostly one, but still a twink.)

Danny argued that he had more experience with vigilantism than Jazz, when she’d taken up a support role even after training. Sure, her aim has gotten so much better with practice, but Jazz was only a liminal. 

(A highly ecto-contaminted liminal with a scary sword that can cut through reality to create portals that currently does his kingly paperwork for him.)

At least he could comfort himself with the knowledge that Jazz was trained by the frightening and awe-inspring Pandora of the Infinite Realms Acropolis, bearing her own gifted Bracelets of Submission as a symbol of respect from one woman to another. 

(Jazz and Pandora sparring made the Boy King eternally grateful to be on the good side of both women.) 

(Scary was an understatement.) 

(No wonder Jazz and Sam got along so well.)

(Batman and Wonder Woman were supposedly friends, being founders of the Justice League and all.)

Gotham was all kinds of batshit crazy when the sun went down.

(pun recognized and intended.)

A dumb statement for any Gothamite, but newcomers to the city never really got it until the were robbed at gunpoint within five minutes of sunset. 

That wasn’t really a concern for Danny, he’s gotten into the habit of phasing his important items into his body for safe keeping, but his increased need to do something made his late night walks morph into something that vaguely resembled his Witching Hours patrols back in Amity. Midnight to three am, strictly rooftops without too much barrier crossing into Hood’s territory were now fully integrated into the Halfa’s life- the purring of his core when he protected someone was healing something inside him he hadn’t realized was sick. 

(Lies.)

Without the Red Hood to manage his Haunt, the Boy King and Regent had brute forced their way passed the boundary line to help the once-Revenant’s people until the one in question could do it himself. The habitants of Crime Alley were hesistant at first to accept more vigilantes into their midst, especially one that was obviously a meta with a concerning range of physical abilites, but with the Regent’s quiet strength and Phantom’s quirky attitude they were begrudgingly allowed to continue. 

(If Phantom also used his ice manipulation to help stablilize dilapidated buildings being used as shelter for the upcoming winter, then all the better.) 

The Regent had been caught in the Bat’s territory more recently, much to Danny’s worry. Jazz could no doubt break the furry over her knee, Danny had seen her do it to Skulker of all people, but drawing the ire of the big bat was the opposite of ideal. Batman’s Stabby Robin might even try to challenge Jazz for her Ecto-sword, which was both hilarious to imagine and panic-inducing, because stabby Robin was stabby. 

After the early morning chat with the Signal, Danny had come to a decision regarding the leather clad crime lord furry and his flock of birdies- step up as the Boy King and request Batman’s help in riding the Realms of the Anti-Ecto Acts. Jazz already did so much as his Regent, he could at least get the ball rolling on this. 

In order to begin, he had a sad trenchcoat man to call. 

“Bloody Hell, Phantom!” 

The Phantom, in his original jumpsuit rather than the admittedly awesome Star King regalia, grinned with a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. Closer to a snarl, but whatever. 

“Sad trenchcoat man! Just the guy I wanted to see.” 

Danny knew the guy’s name, hard not to when he’d seen the three floor-to-ceiling filing cabinets in Jazz’s office dedicated to the Laughing Magician alone, but the halfa was nothing if not dedicated to the bit. 

When he’d sensed Constantine’s magic at work, he’d hijacked the summoning circle for his own use- suck it, a king trumps whatever entity Constantine was trying to get and Danny was less likely to want his soul in return for a favor. 

(Did it really count when he’d already gifted the glued together pieces of the guy’s soul to Jazz as a paperweight?) 

“Phantom, lad, why’re you here?”

The Ghost boy huffed a laugh, the building annoyance in the air just from his presence was fueling his life force. 

“What, can’t say hi to a friend now? After all the work I did to stop that demon from coming instead too.” 

(Lies.) (The summoning had been for an observant, but those bastard eyebags can eat a dick for all he cared.)

“Demon?” Constantine’s voice cracked with surprise, gaze flickering over the runes he’d lazily copied from a book. 

“Yep.” 

“Constantine.” A growl interrupted whatever comeback the Magician could have conjured, with the shadows of the darkened room parting to allow the Dark Knight himself to step through. “There is no time.” 

“Aye, Batsy.” The brit turned back to Phantom, an edge of desperation now coloring the annoyance the ghost had brought. “Phantom, I need a favor.” 

Phantom blinked. 

“Uh, sure dude?” 

“Constantine.” Batman interrupted again, but the sad trenchcoat man waved him off.

“Your people been wreckin’ government buildings and the bloody USA is throwing a fit.” 

Government buildings? Phantom’s people? The GIW? 

Could his luck really be in his favor this time? After all, here was Batman, and the sad trenchcoat man who could verify that Phantom was a spirit of protection and not one of vengeance. 

(He left that to the Regent.)

“If that’s the case, then there is nothing I can do.” 

(He would be right there with his people. What’s a few more buildings destroyed to free the innocent ghosts trapped within?) 

“Whot?” 

Phantom crossed his arms, allowing gravity to bring him to the floor where he stood at his full height. Unintimidating was one word for it, but he couldn’t really care less at the moment. 

“The GIW have committed acts of War against the Infinite Realms, Constantine. It’s only thanks to the Regent and Future King that this Living Realm hasn’t been claimed by the Unquiet Dead.” 

It was true. Jazz was the best Regent Danny could’ve ever gotten. She was liminal enough to understand that the Denziens of the Realms were not inherently malicious, but human enough to realize that she too would be afraid of the ghosts if she hadn’t been raised around the dead and (un)dying.

It was only thanks to that fine line she walked that Phantom wasn’t to join the Unquiet Dead and Neverborn as they descended onto the Living with the fury of thousand suns. 

Danny, while a half-ghost, had died unlike his big sister. Sure he was brought back by Ectoplasm, but he had only returned halfway and that part of him was chomping at the bit to avenge those who were ended that he couldn’t protect. 

“Here.” Phantom shallowly intoned as he pulled a flash drive from his chest, thrown to the big bat. “That contains all collected information the Regent was comfortable sharing with the Living. Share it with your league and get the Acts demolished, Batman.” 

Phantom sighed heavily, shoulders drooping as he finished in a tired voice, “Please. I don’t want to fight. Please don’t make me go to war.” 

Was he trying to tug on the Bat’s heartstrings? Yes. Was he being honest in not wanting to got to war? Also yes. 

“War?” 

“Yeah, all denziens of the Realms would have to fight. We’re all effected by the Acts, even if we don’t want to hurt anyone we’d have to…for our right to exist.” Phantom replied lowly. “I’m a spirit of protection, I don’t want to hurt the innocent.” 

(It was a truth he had come to terms with, after his sister killed their parents.)

(He died wanting to be loved and protected by the adults who claimed to be his parents, but it had been Jazz that raised him.) 

(She avenged him twice over.)

(She gave him a grave.)

A/N: No Hardcover/Anger Management ship content this time, just lore for this world I'm building.

And look, Sad trenchcoat man!

[lottieleeweekend]

Lottielee Weekend is a fandom event to celebrate, analyze, and generally come together over the relationship between Lottie Matthews and Laura Lee from the TV show Yellowjackets. While Lottielee Weekend will focus on the idea of a romantic connection between Lottie and Laura Lee, any and all fanworks—fic, art, edits, vids, meta, playlists—focusing on any facet of their relationship are welcome.

Lottielee Weekend will run from Friday, January 5 to Monday, January 8, 2024. This coincides with the Feast of the Epiphany, which celebrates the baptism of Jesus in some Christian traditions, and will also allow for a more relaxed focus after the pressures of the major winter holidays. EDIT: LOTTIELEE WEEKEND HAS BEEN MOVED TO FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2 TO MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2024.

Each day will have an optional theme to spark your creativity:

Day 1: Afterlife

Lottielee is a ship that deals a lot with ghosts, spirits, purgatory, apparitions, memory, and outliving someone you love; why not explore that? Anything dealing with the afterlife, either literally (such as through the death realm and ghostly apparitions) or figuratively, falls under this prompt.

Alternative prompt: Fire

Day 2: In Another Life

Canon divergence or canon rewrite, no-crash AU, winter in the Wilderness if Laura Lee had lived, Lottie as a deer, Laura Lee as a bear, reincarnation romance—it all goes here.

Alternative prompt: Water

Day 3: Monster AU

Just for fun. Does Laura Lee rise from the grave wanting to suck Lottie's blood? Does Lottie start acting especially weird around every full moon? Is "Jacques" secretly a lesbian succubus that's been possessing Lottie since the events of "Blood Hive" and manipulating Laura Lee into soft-launching being gay? You decide!

Alternative prompt: Snow

Day 4: Free Choice

Lottie and Laura Lee don't get a ton of agency over their all-too-limited time together in Yellowjackets canon, but you do. If you've felt bound to the prompts on previous days and want to cut loose, here's where to do it.

Some ground rules: Lottielee Weekend is for everyone. Clearly warn for explicit sexual content or for any gore or brutality that goes beyond what we see in Yellowjackets canon. Do not bash other ships, although criticizing or problematizing them (or even criticizing or problematizing Lottielee! We love them, but they're not without fault) is fine. Above all else, have fun, or what passes for fun with a ship as tragic as our poor doomed prophet and saint.

We will be tracking #lottieleeweekend and sharing submissions on this blog once the event begins. Feel free to use the hashtag on other platforms as well!

(Read More Below the Cut)

Bio:

As part of Project CADMUS’ endless attempts for contingency plans and strategies against metahuman heroes and crime fighting vigilantes should they go rouge, The higher brass commission a restart to their highly effective cloning process with some modifications to their original design. In this case, create a clone at a younger age so they can be more easily swayed therefore controllable under their orders when the time arises. Futhermore, with hiring some mystics and magic based metas on their side, CADMUS was able to acquire DNA from Human turned Amazonian Warrior and Veteran Titans Member, Donna Hinckley Troy aka Troia.

After initial gestation which lasts about 5-6 months, the clone had by then developed into a young woman which bears a lot of resemblance to Donna albeit with some alterations due to the incorporation of other Amazonian DNA within her samples. Once she reaches an age resembling that of a 10 year old, by then thanks to the transference of all sorts of knowledge, from the basics about social skills including table manners, the learning of that English and Ancient Greek Languages, all the way up to the most advanced and complex of Amazonian combats techniques on the battlefield, the clone dubbed Subject 66 was finally released from her pod, to officially begin her training under CADMUS’ wing.

However, what the scientists at those hadn’t entirely counted on was Subject 66 exhibiting personality traits which actively questions and speaks against their goals for her, all of which conflict with her extraordinary emotions of free will and self empowerment. While they had managed some of the training they had in mind with positive results, CADMUS was overall unable to exactly control Subject 66, only reason she even cooperated with their training and what passed for their care was because at that time, she had nowhere else to go.

Enter Donna and her ‘sister’ Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Sandsmark aka Wonder Girl. During an extensive battle against routine Titan nemeses The HIVE/Fearsome Five, the secret laboratory CADMUS was operating in that contains Subject 66 was discovered by an errant Donna being tossed right into its walls, crashing though the complex and down to the vault which led to the Subject’s living quarters. She hadn’t found enough to notice her clone though as Donna immediately rushed back into the battle right out of the building. Subject 66 however noticed her ‘bedroom’ vault was wide open, allowing her to fly out of there to delicate her freedom since that the CADMUS personnel had left in a massive hurry. Once finally outside the building complex after so long, Subject 66 saw the battle between the two Wonder Girls and the HIVE/Fearsome Five, so far the battle not going so well for the Wonders. Just Donna was pinned to the street floor and about to receive a nasty looking face punch from Mammoth, suddenly the fist is caught midway through. Donna peaks an eye opening, revealing a lone girl with jet black hair with golden streaks, clad in a grey and black bodysuit with both her hands on Mammoth’s fist, holding it there with immense super strength but delivering an uppercut to the villain, sending him flying to the complete outskirts of the city, shocking much of the HIVE and allowing Cassie and Donna to gain the edge; ultimately winning the battle and saving the day.

Shortly after the HIVE are apprehended by the Bludhaven PD, Subject 66 is immediately taken to Titans Tower, making formal introductions about what she knows about herself to the Titans and their adjacent Young Just Us team. It’s here thanks to DNA testing from Victor Stone aka Cyborg the Subject learns of her genetic progenitor being none other than Donna herself, a decision that no doubt would be a major shock but Donna, being the compassionate and rational woman she is, would take sympathy with this clone of hers, valuing her as her person and understanding her feelings for freedom. This especially gets prominent once Amanda Waller, Head of CADMUS and flanked by her Task Force X, arrives later on that day with the demands to get Subject 66 back under their custody.

Donna and Subject 66 however are insistent and persuasive with Waller; a back and forth that goes for about 1 hour and with the ultimatum that should the Subject being taken by CADMUS, the Titans won’t be afraid to reveal their many dirty secrets of all sorts of misbehavior to the public, Waller eventually backs down and allows Subject 66 to stay with the Titans and Donna in particular. Once the helicopter leaves the roof, Subject 66 gives a major hug to Donna in thankfulness for allowing her to stay with them, a hug Donna gives right back.

Over the course of the next few months, with weekly visits to Themyscira for enhancing and perfecting her training with the Amazons alongside Cassie in particular, forming a sort of mentor and mentee bond between them, forging her own custom made outfit heavily patterned after both Donna and Cassie’s while making it her own and meeting and befriending with the son of Donna’s close friend Nightwing, Jakand’r/Jake Grayson aka Skybird along his best friend Christopher Grayson Kent aka Nightwing Phantom, The clone also develops close bonds and connections with Donna and her birth son Robbie Long aka Darkstar, eventually also gaining a new civilian name once her adoption papers are fully completed: Penelope Haney Troy, ‘Penny’ for a nickname.

With that, she then declares her newfound crime fighting superhero identity of Hoplite, named after the elite warrior classes of many Ancient Greek city states, in particular Sparta. Also a proud de facto apprentice of Wonder Girl who Penelope looks up to as a de facto Aunt.

Occupation: 6th Grade Student of Bludhaven Academy, Amazonian Warrior in Training

Superhero Outfit: A Black and Gold Version of the NTT era Wonder Girl outfit Donna had worn with a skirt in place of pants, and the stars on it being pink and white. Complimenting the outfit is a pair of goggles once belonging to Cassie, given as a gift as a sign of their small yet strong bond growing overtime. When Penny offers said googles back, Cassie tells her not to worry as she’s got plenty of spares

Physical Appearance: Long and Combed Jet Black Hair with Golden Streaks

Bright Ocean Blue Eyes

Medium Frame with a Healthy Muscle Build Around the Arms

No Scars Present

Trivia

- A big fan of the Bratz Dolls, Penny has amassed a sizable and impressive collection with her allowance money and spare change. Despite good efforts to preserve them, she still allows others to play with them. Its one of the many things that she can share in common with Mar’i Grayson aka Nightstar

- Regarding her half brother Robbie, despite being younger than him age wise, she staunchly comes to his defense if any girls start flirting with him or pursue crushes on him. Already into her first year attending school, she’s scared off about three girls who she can sense can break his heart.

- Besides his Bis Sis Mar’i, Chris Kent and Jasper Logan, Penny Troy is the one person Jake can trust above all others and most definitely one of the ones he can both relate and confide to for nearly everything. The bond between Penny and Jake has been routinely compared to the strong platonic bond between their respective parents Donna and Dick Grayson aka Nightwing. It’s a comparison frankly none of them can deny

- Speaking of Jake and Chris, while she hasn’t joined their group Team StarKnights just yet, she’s still considered a proud honorary member. She even has her own bedroom set up at the StarKnights’ base whenever it’s needed.

- Like so many in this generation of heroes, Penny can clearly see the small crushes Jake and one girl from school Meredith Robinson have for each other despite their consistent denial of it. She often is among the many ones who try planning secret dates from those two. Seeing Jake blush every time he gets too to Meredith always being a playful grin to her face.

- A Fan of 70s to 80s Rock n Roll, in particular the band called Fleetwood Mac. Takes inspiration from said band to learn playing piano, harp and most importantly for her, a cowbell. As such is often present for when Chris and Jake reform their own band, The Sidekicks, along with Mar’i and Chris’ brother Jon Kent

UPDATED: 21.11.2023

As promised, I’m coming back with some information about the ReiJean Week I’d like to host. The majority of you decided that the best month for the event would be January. Since February got quite a lot of votes too, I’ve decided for the event to take place at the end of January – in hopes that most of you will be able to participate.

WHEN?

24.01. – 28.01.2024 (Wednesday – Sunday)

The event will last 5 days, but I will be accepting late submissions till 04.02.2024.

WHERE?

ReiJean Week blog

As of now I have no plans to take this event to any other platform, and most probably it will remain a Tumblr-exclusive event. If anyone outside of Tumblr would like to participate, they can. If I come across any works on Twitter/X or AO3 tagged as ReiJeanWeek2024, I’ll post a link to such a work on the ReiJean Week blog (unless the author states that they do not wish to be included – which is absolutely fine). I’ll be accepting anon messages with submissions, too. If you’re a Tumblr user, please tag me in your work, and I’ll be happy to reblog it.

TOPIC:

For this event let’s treat ReiJean as an umbrella term. If you prefer the JeanRei dynamic, please do not hesitate to participate. If you only like Reiner and Jean as frenemies, and want to depict their relationship as platonic – you are more than welcome to. As long as your work focuses on Reiner and Jean, it meets the criteria of the event.

RULES:

I will be accepting NSFW submissions and I'll make sure all works are properly tagged. Minors are kindly asked to manage their own experience and not to engage with any content that might make them uncomfortable. The tag I'll be using is "nsfw".

Be nice. :))

What can you submit? Anything, really. Drabbles, longer fics, fanarts, playlists, moodboards, headcanons, meta… Whatever you feel like creating.

I will be accepting older works. If you created something in the past and would like for the audience to (re)discover it, please feel free to submit it. Your work has to be related to at least one of the prompts.

NEXT STEPS:

The prompt list is ready! There are three topics to choose from per day. If you wish, you can combine them.

You are not obliged to participate in the entire ReiJean Week, you can choose a specific day or days instead.

The ReiJean Week kicks off on Wednesday, January the 24th. I hope the two months ahead of us are enough for you to prepare and be able to take part in the event.

(Please bear in mind it’s my first time managing a ship week. If you have any suggestions or feel that something is not working as it should, please let me know. 💜)

2,5,6,9,14 and 19 for Free! pls 😏😏

YESSSSS let's go!!!!

2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?*

so there's the obvious one (rnhru) but i also vaguely feel this way about rei/gisa. HEAR ME OUT. it's not that it's bad. i understand where it comes from, i like totally get it. i just never felt as much of the chemistry there as others did, mostly bc i think nagisa doesn't get quite enough character moments. i have loved what the fandom has done with the two of them, tho!!

Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?*

in general for SURE, but i got RLY into free super late in the game, so the ship wars were over. i did have someone who was like. the backseat driver when i first got into the show, and i wasn't so good at standing up for myself or my opinions back then, so for a long time i was a huge hiyo/iku hater. this has since changed, bc i deeply adore how fucked up they both are LMAO.

Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?*

^^^ as stated above, hiyo/iku!!!!!!!!!! catherine's love of hiyori and all the meta analysis of hiyo/iku as parallels to mako/haru were some of my favorites, and really helped me move past the bias my ex-friend had instilled in me about the pairing.

Most disliked character(s)? Why?

i'm gonna be so real, i don't rly like ai as a character; i found him vaguely annoying and he doesn't really amount to anything or add to the plot other than being the wet paper bag rin steps on a bunch in the beginning of the show... his parallel with nagisa isn't very strong, and i just like. idk. that's about as far as my dislike goes for characters in this series LOL

Unpopular opinion about your fandom?

makoto deserves to bottom you fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like sure he could top!!!!! i'm sure everybody assumes he does!!!!!! but //grabs you by the shoulders// the way he whines haru's name in canon tells me everything i need to know!!!!!!!! (this is a silly opinion but listen, it's a desert out here for the girlies who don't like dom top makoto or worse, SUB bottom haru (worst. hated take. disgusting. haru can bottom but he is not submissive))

What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?

honestly, these days it's pretty great!! the echoes of the ship wars and the obsession with who's ship is more canon annoy me tho. canon has no bearing on whether the ship is good. shipping is about extrapolation. i don't really care which ship is "more" canon. it's not a competition, and people getting obsessed with it are obnoxious. like what u like!! it's ur right!!

#hehehehe this was fun!! thanks for asking!!!! #kat replies

Have some old Werewolf: the Apocalypse lore

Before recorded history, there were shamanistic/pagan tribes of miracle workers that would bond and pact with the spirits of the wild, and sometimes those spirits would even choose certain humans to bond with and create hereditary lines of supernaturally touched people, too.

Were-things were these cultures adopted by spirits, and descendents of the humans that embraced them right back. Becoming their own sub-cultures within human society, but usually on the fringes, given they were more feral and of the world than they were human anymore.

A purpose was also had by these relationships that fostered different changing-breed cultures in humanity. They were a casting system for the different tribes, each with a totem animal. The wolves happened to be the warriors.

The cats were the patient scouts and hunter-killers, whom could be considered like special forces, saboteurs and spies. The ravens were couriers, messengers, sentries and eyes in the sky. The coyotes were subverters and highly mobile saboteurs, navigators, pathfinders and discord sowers, bar none. The bears; medics. Yeah, I know.

Well. In the before-time, there were great spirits roaming the earth that even the tribes like the Garou couldn't destroy or disperse. So what they did was they beat them into submission and magically chained them to the land itself, burying them and containing them. Where they were supposed to remain.

This is an element of narrative that persists in World of Darkness, whether your gameline is Vampire, Werewolf or Demon: the Fallen.

In Vampire: the Masquerade, Kupala is said to be one of these 'great spirits' that 'the lupines' chained beneath the earth, binding them to the very mountains and hills of Eastern Europe themselves and becoming synonymous as land features. There were many more.

Also in W:tA, when the changing breeds moved into North America, roughly 300,000 to 50,000 years ago, they could not do much about the great spirits that were giants roaming the continent here. They were much too great to destroy, so they similarly could only beat them after great sacrifice and chain them into the very landscape itself, where it was hoped isolation and assimilation would have them rejoin creation and operate as normal.

So there was less corruption in North America on a spiritual level, but it had higher concentrations and was more volatile, and more dangerous to let out.

This got really bad as history progressed and technology allowed more humans to venture to North America, where the violence and hatred and expansionism and suffering from plagues started empowering and waking up the evil spirits locked in the continent's environment.

So. Whether your flavor is Vampire, Werewolf, or Demon, just remember that despite being different gamelines that effectively occur in the same general universe but separated by meta, some story beats carry over in their own way.

Or did, until Werewolf V5 (known as W5) decided to see no point in any of the old lore.

Implementation of Idea: Consideration is given to how well the developer has met the goal of the product idea.

Quality of Idea: They should be original and creative.

Family History: They must be directly or indirectly related to family history.

The entries are judged based on four main areas: During the lunch hour of Wednesday’s Innovator Summit, those semi-finalists present their products, and the five finalists will be announced that evening. The many submissions are narrowed down to 10 semi-finalists prior to RootsTech. In the fall prior to RootsTech, businesses and individuals are encouraged to submit their products to the Innovator Showdown.

The Wednesday before the opening of RootsTech on Thursday, is the Innovator Summit, a full day of classes and workshops designed to help innovators create, develop, and market products and services that will be beneficial to genealogical researchers of all skill levels. RootsTech truly encourages business innovation for the family history market. Neither one of us have tried it out for accuracy, but it’s definitely one to watch.One of the most exciting parts of the annual RootsTech genealogy & technology conference is discovering the new businesses and products that serve the genealogy community. Imagine, recording your oral history interviews and having a service that automatically transcribes the interview. Rev.com transcription for voice recorders, intrigues Valerie Brown Eichler, a friend who blogs at. In my experience, these interviews are stilted questions and answers, but rather include a lot of heart. Like many other apps, it offers prompts to facilitate interviews, but it offers the users a chance to upload their interview to the Library of Congress. Storycorps’ app remains at the top of my list. They can respond via email or phone and those stories are kept on an ad-free private server. A subscription service, loved ones (or you) will receive weekly story prompts. (the 2015 Innovator Showdown winner) helps with the problem of getting stories from loved ones who probably would never get around to writing themselves.

“Twile” comes from “erstwhile” and is now completely free to use. For family history buffs, their partnership with FamilySearch makes them even more attractive. Though Twile can pull family’s memories, photos and stories in the same place, it can also be used to enhance your stories. (Last year’s Innovator Showdown People’s choice winner) “makes your family history more visual and engaging” with the creation of timelines and aesthetically pleasing info-graphics. Qroma Tag won 2 nd place in the RootsTech Innovator Showdown. It’s currently available for iOS, but will be out soon for Android. This makes finding the photos to use in stories much easier. In addition, you can use-get this-voice recognition to tag photos with names, places, and even 2000 characters to attach “the most important parts of a story” to the photo. With QromaTag, you can record the exact GPS coordinates of the place your grandparents’ home used to stand. Luckily, Tony knows more about things like EXIF, IPTC, Voice Recognition and standard outputs than the average bear. (Metadata is bits and bytes of information stored in photo files.) Tony asks, “How many times have you looked at a photo and wondered what was going on? If it was a print, you might be tempted to flip it over to see if anything was written on the back.” Sadly, those of us who’ve been obsessively scanning photos for years haven’t taken the time or had the expertise to add meta data to the photo file. QromaTag came from innovator Tony Knight’s desire to uncover the stories behind the photos his father left behind when he died. Qroma Tag and Tony Knight won the 2nd place price in the Innovator Showdown You can also upload the videos to presentation quality DVDs. Better yet, Emberall tags and categorizes the video clips, making them easy to find and share. Using the smart phone’s video, loved ones record their responses.

They wear matching towel-turbans, though Bill's is merely symbolic. The thick paste covering both their faces are almost dry and she's munching on one of the cucumber slices left over from cutting them for their eyes, though she's not sure he gets the same pleasure. What she hopes he likes is the paraffin wax bath she's dipping one enormous hand into. "You always seem to be taking care of other people, never yourself. So tell me, what ways do you spoil yourself? What's your guilty pleasure?"

When Bill had agreed to a ‘day of pampering’, it had been a reluctant submission to Beth’s doe-eyed, vaguely pleading expression. He has particular notions about the word ‘pamper’; his experience goes beyond the limits of a single galaxy and he has seen a vast variety of cultures, many of which appear to allow for immodest, excessive indulgence for an arbitrary privileged few, while denouncing it for the citizenry that does not enjoy vast wealth in resources and influence. Such disparity does not exist in Korbinite culture. His people view excesses as a matter of imbalanced scales; if a thing or experience is worth exposure to the most advantaged, it is worth greater exposure to the least advantaged. Arguably, he is considered the singularly most advantaged member of his species... therefore, his is not to indulge, but to serve.

He’d tried to explain this to Beth. But she, clever and crafty young woman that she is, had argued that his work has been tireless since Skuttlebutt’s launch... and that he need not forsake indulgence entirely. Angels sing, she had said, and is that not a form of expression they indulgently cultivate?

She’d driven the point home by noting that for so long, he’s been the only link his people even have to the realms beyond. The only Korbinite to even experience anything on their behalf, while they slept in the Meta-Orb. And experiencing a full breadth of cultural variety up here in the star-strewn skies could only be advantageous to his people. What use is it to live in ignorance?

He feels more than a little absurd now, with his bare pate wrapped in a towel identical to the one binding her hair... and the odd gray clay-like substance adorning his features feels like it might threaten to crack if he moves his jaw to reply. His eyes (a fallback biological description for the state-of-the-art ocular sensors seated where eyes once existed) spent more time scanning the slices of cucumber she’d laid across them than they’d spent closed, but he wasn’t going to argue with her regarding whatever advantages she was certain they would impart.

Even together, her hands can’t quite circle fully around his wrist as she lowers his hand into a substance he’s already identified as entirely non-harmful, but nothing he’d have thought to entertain on his own. Some manner of thick, heated fluid that slowly consumes his digits. The warmth is more pronounced against his fingernails.

He is grudging in his admittance that the sensation is... curiously pleasant.

Although Beth’s preamble bears no particular weight nor sharpness to it, he still feels it press ever so slightly against him, much like a suggestion preceding a charge. More troubling is that he finds no fault with the premise, but he still feels a certain obligation to defend himself from it. “Service to others is my very purpose, after all,” he notes.

But her question makes him pause for a long moment, stretched into another. There is more than one answer to it, but the first one which occurs to him feels a perfect exercise in vanity now that he’s confronted with the notion. And here and now, it could quite possibly interrupt her efforts, which he doesn’t want to do.

“I... watch television,” he finally replies, and even here, his voice is a bit sheepish. “Or the equivalent thereof from other worlds. Obviously, there is far too much media to consume than any Korbinite could ever hope to recall, even me, but there is a specific multi-cultural theme which is far more widespread  throughout the universe than one might ever expect, and that is the idea of eating while watching television. The two activities together appear to create a fullness of experience that cannot be easily matched. While I eat, I seek... various cultures’ notions of fantasy. Magic and fantastic beings and creatures -- all of which, my people would view as fringe science and alien creatures with improbable life cycles. But to behold a species’ notion of ‘fantasy’ informs me where their sense of wonder lies... and I wish to understand that. Immerse myself in it, as a child does in his own imagination.”

He releases a sigh that causes his shoulders to droop, and if asked, would have trouble clarifying that it is because he feels more relaxed in this moment than he has in many cycles. “And as I sense you wish to know if I have a favorite Earth film... I have recently taken a liking to Edward Scissorhands. It permits me to... yearn, and despair... yet also hope.”
