Idk if this is just me but you/all your sonas havr the energy and vibe of which Especially with most of your f/os of which there'd be a special "Chy goes bad girl" episode of which could be as little as a leather jacket with spike and maybe a little dark makeup over your normal outfits and the kicker is even if you're never like committedly Mean or trying Very hard to be a rule breaker there's an astounding moment where the certain initial angle of seeing you like that popping some gum or doing something bad girl esque just likr Ruins your f/o figuratively like they're never going to recover from this (positive) and its not even a phase that lasts no matter how/why it came up but it holds a special place in their heart when it did
No you’re right they do have that energy lol
So because you brought it up, have this!

WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION MAGAZINE : DECEMBER 1999
1999 The Year of Chyna
By Kevin Kelly
Chyna has achieved what no woman was ever expected to in the World Wrestling Federation and it’s not necessarily just because of her athletic skills. Not underestimating a physique reminiscent of a leather-clad sculpture–perhaps it is because the Ninth Wonder of the World refused to listen when others said, “No.”
Chyna knew she could compete against the men, but the purists needed to be enlightened. Beginning with the Royal Rumble, 1999 has been a series of ground-breaking triumphs countered only by miniscule setbacks.
While the role of women in society continues to evolve, albeit rather slowly, the former bodyguard has seized the means of production and created her own revolution. How did this once stoic, solitary revolutionary become the tombstone by which all women in the next century will be measured and compared? It all began with a painful childhood. 
In an interview in the October 1998 issue of the World Wrestling Federation Magazine Chyna described her early family life as “dysfunctional.” After leaving home at the age of 15 the future athlete excelled in high school, regularly making the Dean’s list, and later graduated from the University of Tampa (Florida) with a double major in Spanish and Literature in just two and a half years. Prospective employers like the United Nations and the U.S. Secret Service would have to wait, however.
During her college years, Chyna had discovered a talent for weight training. Combined with a lifelong desire to perform the groundwork was set, almost as though destiny had a hand in molding the sculpture that is the Ninth Wonder of the World. 
Questioned many times about the prospect of competing against other women in the ring, Chyna has consistently stated that it would not be challenging enough. Trained by Killer Kowalski in a class of all-male wrestlers, even the World Wrestling Federation Hall of Famer knew that the skills of his prized pupil were far from common. Even before entering the Federation in 1997, Chyna was aware that to make an impact she would have to compete against the men. 
First as bodyguard for Triple H and then the unifying glue of DX, Chyna preyed upon the weaknesses of men. Her notorious low blow proved that any man of any size could be felled like a tranquilized elephant with one upward thrust of her powerful arm. If retribution was due for the sins she had committed, Chyna knew that generally men would not want to strike out at her because of the childhood rule: Don’t hit girls. To this day, many of her victims blindly look at gender and wind up temporarily paralyzed because they are not “allowed” to hit a woman. 
At the 1999 Royal Rumble, Chyna made history as the first woman ever to compete for the privilege. Having thwarted the other D-Generates, Vince McMahon stood triumphantly while Chyna made her way to the ring as the final DX member in the Rumble qualifier. No one expected her and that element of surprise has been a persistent weapon against Chyna’s opponents. 
In time, however, that element of surprise began to dissipate. Chyna needed to show that she was more than just a Mexican uppercut. She did that in her attempt to win King of the Ring. With Triple H at ringside providing guidance, Chyna proved to the world–and more important, to herself–that she could do it. 
As the old saying goes, “Good talent can make anyone look good in the ring.” The Ninth Wonder was in there with the best of the best, and despite not coming away with the victory in the perennial June tournament, Chyna put herself on the roster as a competitor. She was credible, believable. It appeared to be more like rediscovering the talent she had been born with than something she had learned. Chyna had evolved once again and the sculpture was almost complete. 
“SummerSlam was supposed to be my time!” Triple H bellowed at Chyna after the Ninth Wonder of the World became the number one contender. Chyna would not wilt under the intense heat of the spotlight. No one doubled her spot now because she had earned all our respect. 
In that same ‘98 interview, the Ninth Wonder said, “There is a lot of mystery to Chyna and she hasn’t been unleashed yet. We can do so much with my character…”
The stories that can be told about the Ninth Wonder of the World are as limitless as the imagination. Her “character,” as in integrity, is unparalleled. Chyna and Triple H are the quintessential professionals. That being said, will Chyna remain a part of Triple H’s career? There have been rumors that their partnership may be nearing an end. 
When Triple H became the Federation Champion the night following SummerSlam, it wasn’t without assistance. Chyna has been a steadfast, reliable accomplice for Triple H for nearly three years. Critics of Triple H argue that the network of assistants has hindered his credibility. Would Chyna remove herself from that role in Triple H’s life in response to the critics? 
Whatever future career decisions Chyna makes will not be in response to outside detractors. Throughout her life, Chyna has fought when most would have packed up and moved on. With minimal parental guidance as a young woman, Chyna completed high school and graduated from college with honors.
After stumbling onto weight training and a desire to compete in the fitness field, Chyna heard the naysayers and went on to make history on a televised event. Although the wrestling business wanted no part of her, the Ninth Wonder refused to be ignored and simply kicked the door in. Now, Chyna is approaching legendary status in the renaissance of sports-entertainment and the World Wrestling Federation–a history maker, a trendsetter, a one of a kind. 
This has been the year of Chyna. Her improvement and development will continue into the next century as well. One thing is certain–Chyna will constantly stay one step ahead and keep everybody guessing what is next for the Ninth Wonder of the World.

Thank you so much for tagging me in this @nightlifeseries! I had too much fun imagining my characters in a horror film. ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)
Prompt by: @havenroyals
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cheyenne Lorde: (Crybaby/ Final Girl) Chy would be afraid of everything! Her sensitivity when it comes to danger will be the thing that saves her life, being the first in the group to run and not investigating ANY strange noises. Splitting up is never an option for her. And when the final confrontation happens, Chy's will to live outweighs any fear she might hold.
Penny Pizzazz: (Badass bestie, who didn't come to play!) I don't know how someone can mentally prepare for a situation where you have to fight for your life, but Penny came ready. Somehow, she knows mixed martial arts. Somehow, she knows how to hotwire a car. When did she learn? I don't know! But by the end of the night, Penny will be one of the few survivors.
Leopold Kramer: (Ride or Die) With Leo's rough upbringing, he's learned two life lessons. Trust your gut, and you get what you give. With Leo being the biggest and a quick thinker on his feet, he would naturally fall into the leader/protector role, always making sure to listen and go with what the group wants. Loyal until the end, Leo would be the one to sacrifice his life so that the remaining survivors could get away.
Alice Murphy: (Karma is a-) Alice is every horror movie cast's worst nightmare. She fights to be in charge only to give orders that get half of the group injured or killed. She has a nasty personality and a sharp tongue. And when she finally meets her demise, there will be a roar of applause from the audience.
Tyson Johnson: (The comic relief and Fan Favorite) Ty is the funny one who tries to make light of the dire situation they're in. His death will be devastating and hilarious, and he will live on in the hearts of everyone, becoming an overused internet meme.
Graclyn Lorde: (Brat that dies first) Difficult from her first moments on screen. She's gone before anyone could miss her.
Don Lothario: (*Beep* around and find out) The number one rule in most horror films is that if you have sex, you will die. *shrugs* I don't make the rules.
Angela Pleasant: (THAT 9-1-1 operator) We all know that the cops won't show up in time because of this character. We have 3% battery left on our phone, we're pleading for help, and she's still asking us about the nature of our call. When she finally starts to do her job and asks for our location… the phone dies.

Happy Early Halloween Everyone! ♥
I tag anyone who sees this and wants to join in on the fun!

Heads Up 7-Up game
Tagged by @hamsteriffic, thank you so much!
Rules: Post seven lines of your WIP, and then tag no more than seven people to continue.
"Thank you", said Ladybug. An idea started to form in her head. "If you’re alright, can you help get the civilians away from her? I think I’ve got a plan." Kagami nodded, and ran off, still completely unbothered by her akuma-induced nudity. "Okay, what’s the plan, buggaboo?", said Chat Noir, as he entangled himself from the tablecloth. "Do you want to use Miraculous Ladybug to create a dress or something?" "No, we might still need that later", said Ladybug. "Kagami has the right idea. If she can risk her gorgeous butt, so can I." "Wait, gorgeous butt? What do you mean?" Ladybug blushed. Shit, she hadn’t meant to say that! "I… look, I’m only sleeping with Kagami a normal amount because we’re friends! That’s not an identity hint!" "Uh… I meant… I meant to ask what the plan was…", said Chat Noir, his head fully red.
Tagging @tbonner2, @luxcanaryfox, @chy-tea93, @timberwolfofthelostforest, @bizarrelovesquare. Obviously no obligation, and if somebody else wants a go, feel free!

Album Review: 'Mystic Kitten' by Cat Temper
Key Quote: "The production and mixing are absolutely spot-on and my headphones were loving the stereo FX sprinkled throughout".
The 8 track Mystic Kitten album released on 13-Oct-23 is, amazingly, the 4th long player in the last 2 years from Cat Temper. I’ve listened to the previous releases, so I was looking forward to hearing Mystic Kitten for the first time…
1. Welcome To My Nightmeow
Epic sounding drums start the proceedings before giving way to pulsing bass and guitar. This is one hook laden track and a fantastic opener to the album. 
2. Last Cat On Earth
This track has a more of a Moog-ish analogue feel to it and is perhaps less obviously cat-chy (damn! I've started with the puns) on the first listen, but this appeals to me more somehow.
3. Purranormal
This bass synth driven song again takes us in another funkier direction. This one is slightly less appealing to me than the previous two songs, maybe just down to its slower tempo.
4. House Of Fur
Some velvet sounding electric piano features heavily in this song as well some wonderful synth riffs. The song flies by and leaves me wanting more - rewind…
5. Hisslexia
The intro of this song is in my opinion just purr-fect (no going back now) and although the rest of the song doesn’t quite match up to it, luckily, we get glimpses of it again throughout.
6. Cat In A Dream
Another strong intro and this develops into a beautiful (and apt) dream-like landscape. The synth riffs have a slight chip-tune feel to them which is no bad thing.
7. Under My Paws
This one has a futuristic dystopian vibe about it, so is definitely in-keeping with the Synthwave genre rules. But perhaps the rules need to be broken every now and again?
8. Lace And Whiskers
The last song on the album picks up the baton where the previous one left off and goes one step darker still. It has cat-itude! (sigh). The cinematic feel to this song screams ‘movie soundtrack’ and I can visualise the end credits rolling to it…
Bad cat puns aside, this is a serious Synthwave album which I think nudges the genre along from the 80s to give some of the songs a more contemporary feel. Some, in my opinion, are crying out for a vocal melody top-line but others are perfect instrumental pop songs just as they are. The production and mixing are absolutely spot-on and my headphones were loving the stereo FX sprinkled throughout.
Well done to Mr. Cat Temper - another great album.

Audry's a sweetheart, and Hana would take her up on any recommendations for great sights to see in Hope County in a heartbeat. They would totally come with an offer to drive her around on her bike anytime too. :D (and if she happens to have any great Sharky stories to share, she'd absolutely love to hear them!)
AHHHHH YES HANA AND AUDRY SISTERS BC OF SHARKY omg Audry would take to Hana like flies on a mudpie. (bad reference sorry) lmaoo but seriously. She'd be so happy for Sharky and keep her around forever. Oh, you and Sharky broke up? That doesn't mean you broke up with me so come on. (Not that they ever will of course )

So it seems like people enjoyed the out of context Tenth Doctor Adventures post, so I bring you the sequel: OOC Time Reaver
Let’s start with some Ten being flustered at Donna in a corset
Donna: “Why is everything in this wardrobe for a wench?!”
The Doctor: “What—Oh!”
Donna: “See what I mean?”
The Doctor: “Yeah, that is very… Uh, yeah, I suppose you would say… Wen-chy… Wench-ish?”
-
The Doctor: “Are you trying to look… wenchy?”
Donna: “Don’t have much choice, spilt my tea when we started lurching.”
Donna: “…Do you like it?”
-
And follow that up with our favorite idiots stopping in the middle of a bar fight to talk about the game on screen:
The Doctor: “I wish I knew who was playing tonight!”
Donna: “Doctor, behind this table!”
Donna: “The Blues.”
The Doctor: “Seriously?”
-
And now some general OOC:
The Doctor: “We need a new fluid link. I can’t fix it, we’re going to have to take it to a garage.”
Donna: “A garage? Boring!”
The Doctor: “Oh, why? What do you do when your car breaks down?”
Donna: “Well, I—I mostly stand on the pavement, looking sad yet optimistic.”
-
Donna: “Do you secretly just like this place because it makes you think the TARDIS is the most brilliant of all the ships?”
The Doctor: “Oh, I wouldn’t—psshh—well…”
-
The Doctor: “Tell you what? We have got no licenses, of any kind, whatsoever! Arrest us!”
-
Officer: “Sorry, has there been some mix-up? You’re not on my agenda.”
The Doctor: “I am now!”
Donna: “Sorry, he’s upset about the scones… Among other other things.”
-
The Doctor: “Ah, here it is! Vagabond’s Reach! Most feared social environment in the galaxy!”
Donna: “You’ve never been up Sugar Hut on a Tuesday.”
The Doctor, under his breath: “You don’t know everything about me.”
-
Gully: “A stranger!”
The Doctor: “Oh—Friend you haven’t met yet!”
-
Gully: “Who are you?”
The Doctor: “Someone who unties girls from chairs.”
-
Donna: “When I lost my dad… Do you know what his last words to me were? ‘Give up your stash of terrible, terrible weapons.’”
The Doctor: “…What?”
-
Donna: “I have in my hands a piece of paper, and it says I’m in charge!”
-
The Doctor: “I think maybe the universe needs its crossing places where the rules don’t apply. Otherwise, where are us space buccaneers gonna go?”
Donna: “You’re not a space buccaneer!”
The Doctor: “I think I have the air of a space buccaneer.”
Donna: “You have the air of a primary school teacher.”
The Doctor: “Of a space buccaneer!”
Donna: “On non-uniform day.”

Hot Takes with Chys: Zenos is a MarySue
Now that I have thoroughly pissed off at least half of tumblr let's revisit my Lincoln- Douglas debate high school roots and set up a definition here.
By MarySue I mean a character that warps or breaks the meta rules of a narrative. Breaking the explicit internal rules of a world does not make a MarySue that just makes plot points.
So Zenos. (Below the cut for spoilers and snark)
I don’t hate the character. The character bores and frustrates me. At the beginning of Stormblood, Zenos shows up, kicks our ass, wanders off, and the only narrative reason we’re given for this is ‘OMG he’s the crown prince he’s such a cruel monster’ as stated by other characters in what is almost a David Attenborough like exposition narration.
We have defeated generals, gods, high ranking voidsent, Ascians, and a dragon of the first brood. Suddenly a legatus with an extra shiny hat can wipe the floor with us? The obvious expectation is that this in and of itself should be enough to pique our curiosity so that we go ‘oooooo what’s that?’, but It feels like game mechanics intruding, not the introduction of a proper villain. What little we see of Zenos prior to this is an 80s Arnold Swarzenager cardboard cutout, a hunky blond prince sitting on a throne looking bored. There’s no actual reason to look beyond; welp new expansion, new boss fight. He warps the meta rules and it’s intrusive. The only character development he gets happens through Fordola and Yotyusu, and they do all the narrative heavy lifting while he’s off screen. It’s an almost patronizing inverse of the usual mainstream media approach where the female character only gets development through the male character’s narrative actions.
And honestly there’s actually a ton of stuff they could have used to avoid that and made Zenos a character not a MarySue cardboard cutout of a gussied up 80s Conan. We’re told he’s a tactical genius, show it by having him be the one ultimately manipulating Ilberd. We know Ilberd will play the double cross game and court whatever powers he needs to in service to his goal. He has the exact kind of arrogance that would say, I can use this fucker and then double cross his overhyped Royal ass. Establish that Zenos is bored and is starting open hostilities with Eorzea not for the good of Garlamald but to see the boom and maybe see if this supposed Warrior of Light is what they’re cracked up to be.
THEN the defeat at Rhalger’s Reach would have been interesting. Then there would have been motivation to ask why rather than just shrug and go ‘game mechanics’.
And the frustrating thing? THEY KEEP DOING IT
There’s the line in 5.5 when Fandaniel comments on Zenos still being angry that they lost the dragons and it fucked things up. Why the fuck wasn’t that on screen? Why are we being told about things that would make Zenos interesting rather than showing them? He’s a character with false agency, we’re told he chooses to do things but it’s not shown that he actually does. It makes it feel like anything we’ve found out since the last quarter of 4.0 on was backpedaling trying to justify why the walking game mechanic is a character not an end game boss fight with no connections of any kind.
It makes Zenos a MarySue, and that’s a damn shame.

Okay so I ended up writing a little something anyways lol
Based on this!
Tumblr media
It been a week.
No one thought that a little thank you kiss on the forehead would result to the whole Thundermans’ household to walk on eggshells. Especially around Dr. Colosso and Chy.
“It just doesn’t make any sense? How did Chy transformed Dr. Colosso back human?”
The whole family kept repeating this question to themselves and to each other. And it really didn’t make sense. Everyone knew that in order for Colosso to turn back human, they had yo use the Animalizer. But it happened.
“Maybe it was true love’s kiss?” the youngest child asked out loud during a discussion.
Everyone shared glances hearing this. A low, nervous chuckle was soon heard.
“True love’s kiss? Are you out of your mind?! This isn’t some fairy tale?!”
But Dr. Colosso began to question this, letting those words linger in the back of his mind. Was it because of the kiss? No! It had to be a glitch on the invention, right? The effects were probably finally rubbing off after all these years. That’s it! And yet the villain couldn’t stop watching Chy, not only questioning if it was even possible to transform back because of a kiss, but shamelessly checking her out more. He couldn’t help but remember how small she was compared to him and how her eyes seemed to almost sparkle up at him when he transformed.
He quickly found himself blushing and groaned. He knew how ridiculous it all was. And yet he kept wondering, hoping that the shy superhero was wondering the same thing.
Was it true love?
Chy kept tossing and turning in her bed.
It was just a little kiss, a peck on the forehead head out of excitement, and yet there she was, losing sleep now over that human form. Seeing Colosso turn back human not only put her in shock, but also made her panic. She couldn’t deny it, he was cute. Very cute. She knew she smitten with him and it scared her. She shamefully wanted to see it again, but knew the rules. It started off as an off handed comment from Hank that she was forbidden to kiss Colosso again and transform him back human. At the time she embarrassedly agreed, almost jokingly, but she kept finding herself peeking at Colosso here and there, imagining that form again. The way his grey hair shimmered in the light, his adorable overbite, and his large, soft form. And how she would feel in his embrace.
Chy covered her face in shame. She knew she was in trouble. She had to see that form again.

this was that essay i wrote for the 90min. essay assignment. it’s not great, but oh well, maybe i’ll add to it.
trigger warning: police brutality, death, microaggresssions, racism, and more. ask to tag please
Protect People Of Color.
#ProtectAsianLives + #BlackLivesMatter
Last May, George Floyd was killed by police brutality.
Last March, Breanna Taylor was killed by police brutality.
A year later, people still deny it. They say that it was a mistake, or Breanna/George’s fault.
It wasn’t, just so you know. George Floyd was killed because of a “counterfeit” twenty dollar bill that turned out to be real. Breanna Taylor was killed because of a botched raid on her apartment. There was not a search warrant, and her apartment was not searched afterwards.
After the news got out, there were protests and memorials. Everyone was (and still is,) outraged. How could the police, people who are supposed to protect us, do this? They killed a man with a family. They killed a woman with a family.
I stand with them, not the saying of “All Lives Matter.” Do you know why? Because all lives do matter, until it’s a person of color.
Let’s talk about the eight killed in the Atlanta Spa Shooting. Six of them were women of Asian descent. That’s racism. There is no way that the shooter wasn’t specifically looking for asian women.
The coronavirus is the coronavirus. It’s not the “chinese virus,” as so many people like to call it. It’s just the coronavirus.
Apparently the chief of police doesn’t think so, as he posted a shirt saying:
“COVID 19
IMPORTED VIRUS FROM CHY-NA.”
We need to stop this. It is unfair, racist, and terrifying. People have given me dirty looks for asking where the notebooks are in a Target. Once, a boy about 12 said to me, at the park; “Don’t steal that,” and pointed at his water bottle. This world has become a hateful place, and only benefits people that check the boxes by being either cis, straight, white, neurotypical, or skinny.
Now let’s talk about microaggressions. Microaggressions are everywhere, for example:
Touching a Black person’s hair without asking, and saying “Is this a wig?” (This has happened to me multiple times, and I hate it.)
Pretending to gag at a person’s food. (Whether they’re a person of color or not, this is very rude. It mostly happens to people of color, though.)
Whitewashing in books, television, and movies. Whitewashing is: Making a POC (person of color) original character have lighter skin, or eyes that are not brown. If your character is a person of color, THEY SHOULD HAVE BROWN EYES. Have you ever met an Indian with blue eyes? A Black person with green eyes? That’s what I thought. Even if you have, the majority do not have brown eyes.
Pretending to be weirded out by customs and cultures.
Making cultural appropriation okay through ignoring the stories of people of color who have been mocked for wearing their cultural clothes while praising a white person for doing so.
Not trying to learn how to pronounce an person's ethnic name correctly, or asking, "Can I call you by something else?".
Making assumptions about countries (including their political, historical and cultural landscape).
The definition of a microaggression is:
“Indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group.” Here’s my rule of thumb. If you would be offended if someone said what you’re about to say to you, then don’t say it.
The question I have for you is, why don’t you care if All Lives Matter. If you think all lives matter, why aren’t you mad. Why aren’t you shouting for justice. Why aren’t you going to protests? You could be using Carrds to know how to help, you could be making a difference. But no, you have to log on to your social media, and spread stuff like “He deserved it.” or, “This virus is all their fault.”. No, Karen. The reason COVID-19 is still here, is because:
Barely anyone thought it was real at first.
Barely anyone wore masks, or social distanced.
Barely anyone listened to science. The majority of people just kept battling over politics. Some of us are still battling over politics.
It’s actually all our fault. Instead of making jokes about countries that have basically gotten rid of the virus, we should work on following their lead.
All Lives Matter, but only when they are white.
