I just had a thought
Steve harrington weaponizing his perceived dumbness on people who are annoying him
Him talking with them in a Philomena Cunk way
Like that time she was talking about how Alexander was emperor at 20 and did a bunch of stuff in his 30s yadda yadda and then asked the specialist about what his hair looked like
Just let him be purposefully annoying to the people who look down on him for his "lack" of smarts
Let him be a menace to the people surrounding him

Hello sorry it took me so long to get to this ask I finally found some energy and perfect time to do this. Thank you for the Ask!
Tfp Optimus Prime: Optimus was surprised to learn that Tfa Soundwave is the creation of Tfa Megatron. He kinda finds it interesting that Megatron would do such a thing. Optimus would want to try to bring Tfa Soundwave on to the side of good.
Tfp Ratchet: He's finds it weird that Tfa Megatron created Tfa Soundwave. it's not that he doesn't think it's possible he just doesn't understand how Megatron of all people would create and entire sentient being. he finds the parallels to tfp soundwaves partners (can someone tell me how their official title is spelt please I would look it up but I am lazy) and tfa Soundwaves minicons to be very interesting.
Tfp Arcee: She doesn't like Tfa Soundwave all she knows is that he was created by Megatron and has minicons and that's all she needs to know before deciding that he is an enemy not to be trusted. she's proven right when she learns the story about him trying to brainwash the Autobots and almost succeeds.
Tfp Bumblebee: he semi pities Tfa soundwave after all being the creation of any Megatron is sad enough but he also knows that any soundwave is dangerous so he steers clear of Tfa Soundwave.
Tfp Bulkhead: Bulkhead doesn't understand what lead Megatron to creating Tfa soundwave and he cares not of the reasons. he feels that all he needs to know is that Tfa soundwave is an enemy.
Tfp Megatron: he finds it interesting that an alternate version of himself created that universes version of soundwave. he doesn't care of the reasons but he treats tfa Soundwave with the same respect he treats Tfp soundwave with. He figures that since Tfa Megatron created him that Tfa Soundwave would have even more loyalty towards Tfa Megatron which in Tfp Megatrons optics is a good thing.
Tfp Starscream: He would find Tfa Soundwave just as annoying if not more annoying as Tfp Soundwave because since he's smaller he can get in and out of places with out being noticed which makes him the perfect spy and that is a problem for Starscream seeing as he's constantly making plans to overthrow Megatron.
Tfp Soundwave: he likes this other version of himself not that anyone could notice. he likes that this version of himself all though small still found a way to contribute to the cause. he also would take a page out of Tfa soundwaves book and try to brainwash the Tfp Autobots.

Ground Zero
Prologue: Fresh blood
Tumblr media
"Damn it, Bianca, you can't just leave Mystic Falls!" Klaus shouted, making me stop on the stairs leading to the floor where my room was. A sly smile appeared on my face as I turned to my friend.
"A bet, Klaus?"
Tumblr media
Don't bet with me.
"How's it going, Klaus? Any pee break or no?" I asked, taking my eyes off the road for a split second to look at my grumpy friend, who was scrolling through social media. Klaus forbade me from going, even though after so many years (sometimes I forgot how many) I deserved a vacation. Wasn't it true?
"At least check where we are," I said, seeing that houses began to appear around. My new home, here I come!
 "Ten miles from some town called Beacon Hills," Klaus replied, taking a swig from his coffee mug. Then he winced as he put the cup back in its holder. "Gross"
"And yet you're still drinking it," I laughed.  “We'll stop at the nearest station and wait until morning. I'm getting tired"  I explained, and the man nodded. I continued to drive, when Klaus suddenly shifted in his seat, glancing intently in the side mirror.
"I think we'll might have to stop a little further" I furrowed my brows and looked in the mirror. I caught a glimpse of the driver of the car behind us in the mirror and smiled sly at him.
"Klaus, turn the music up"  The man did what I asked for and fastened his seatbelts. "This is going to be fun" I said, suddenly hitting the gas. The car following us was also speeding up.
"Any idea?" Klaus asked.
"Hunters. They're going after me for a few weeks. I changed gears and looked in the mirror.
"Automatic transmission is easier, you know?"
"Manual funnier," I said, shifting gears again. Seeing that the car was still following us, I frowned.
"God, I can't have one day off?" I asked, annoyed, and suddenly turned left.
"What's the plan?"
"We're stopping at Beacon Hills. Find some house on sale" he raised his eyebrows, but he didn't comment on it, he just started looking for a house to buy.  Money has never been a problem for me.  I had loads of them and liked to spend them.
"They're still coming after us?" I asked, focusing on the rough and dark road.
I could see well in the dark, but I preferred to be careful.
"Yupp, they are" he smiled slowly, slowly realizing what I mean. He stretched his arms out in front of him, stretching after a long trip. Wish I could do the same.
I noticed, that the road is closing, so I slowed down and swerved hard, making us face the car that was still following us.
Klaus quickly got out of the car, stretching his body and getting ready for a fight. I stayed in the car, carefully watching the car stop in front of my friend. I noticed something in the woods, like a pair of eyes. I ignored it, though. Seeing the second car, I got out of my car. Several people got out of the cars.  There weren't many, maybe five or six.
"Hungry?" asked Klaus, turning his head back to smile at you. You chuckled, showing him your fangs.
The man turned around, as hunters attacked him. They only paid attention to Klaus, which made me yawn and move closer to one of them. I tapped his shoulder twice, and when he turned around, I punched his nose. He tried to punch me back, but his eyes were filled with tears.
I quickly grabbed his hand that was outstretched towards me, and with no hesitation, threw him over my shoulder. As I leaned over to knock him unconscious, another man pulled me back and punched me in the nose.
My head snapped back and my whole body followed, causing me to fall over and roll a few meters. I groaned, feeling tears in my eyes making it difficult to see.
My other senses, luckily, still worked, and I sensed the man approaching me. 
He grabbed my right leg, lifting it up, and when he did, I bounced off the other which, thanks to my grace, allowed me to jump on his back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and squeezed hard, choking him.
When he finally lost consciousness, he fell forward, allowing me to stand calmly on my feet. I ran my tongue over my teeth, feeling hunger grow stronger through the smell of blood, but there was still one man left. I turned around, facing the last man back, as he fought with Klaus. I came up from behind and hit his temple, which made him lose consciousness quickly as he fell down. I looked at my friend and frowned, seeing as his mouth was already stained by blood.
"And here I was thinking, that you would wait for me with dinner" I sighed, shaking my head, as I moved to one man. I didn't know who it was, all that mattered was the beautiful smell of his blood. He must have had a good diet because his smell was the most inviting. I bend down extending my fangs again, and I quickly showed my fangs into his vein. His blood tasted amazing and fresh.
"Now, now, we talk about not getting used to fresh blood again" Klaus said, pulling me back. I turned around to him, rolling my eyes. He laughed as he came a little closer, gently wiping the blood from around my mouth.
"And now you look decent" he stood up again, giving me his hand to help me up. I accepted the help and when I got up we walked to my car together. Klaus got in, but I felt the need to look around the forest.
I was almost sure that I locked eyes with someone or something, but I shrugged it off and got into the car. I noticed that the sun was slowly rising, so I started the engine and drove away, heading for Beacon Hills, where I had been gone for a long time.

Saiyans going to Black y/n's family cookout
Pairing: goku x black female reader | vegeta x black female reader | raditz x black female reader | bardock x black female reader Rating: E ( everyone ) A/N: Because it's summer and the grill smoke and summer cookout jams are in the air.
Goku -
Tumblr media
Feels awkward in matching outfits with you, but overall he's feeling awkward because you made him dress up for the occasion.
Gets ogled by the older aunties for his physique and personally chaperoned to meet the rest of the family by them until you save him from their frisky behavior.
He's excited to meet everyone, but he's more into what everyone brought to eat.
Shows off some of his abilities that really draw him to be the center of attention (flying, instant transmissions, turning super saiyan), so everyone was quick to put him on their teams for some of the events
He also cheated at musical chairs to win
Honestly has more fun playing with the kids than having repetitive intro conversations with the adults. Gets forced into learning all the hype dances from them but he shows them some fighting posts too.
He's the star of the kids table. They try to mimic how fast and how much he can gobble down his food.
Doesn't join in any of the line dances, but cheers you and everyone else on for how exciting you all make it look.
Asking if he can take all the leftovers home because he absolutely loved all the food so much and can't believe how much was left untouched after everyone ate.
Vegeta -
Tumblr media
Hates the fuss you put up for matching outfits, but will make an effort to look his best whether you convince him to match you or not.
Comes off as unapproachable from the start so most of the introductions are handled by you.
No, he is not safe from the hairline jokes. But you warned him beforehand of how your family likes to show their love and acceptance by throwing a few harmless jokes around. It doesn't fix the growing frown on his face.
He ends up sitting alone to eat but that's how he preferred it, he doesn't want to deprive you of your family time. His demeanor has been offputting thus far to everyone else.
Really starts to open up when his competitive spirit can shine during games. Touch football? Relay race? Capture the Flag? Pie eating contest? Childs play, but he's making an effort to win each one. You actually see him start to smile with his teammates. Starts taking on team captain roles and strategizing the games to an assured victory.
Your cheering motivates him to make sure he wins. He's down for every competition except playing with water balloons.
Definitely not dancing, don't even try. Can't look away from you enjoying dancing with your family if you do.
His competitive spirit gets him roped into a drinking contest and wins, but now he's not minding his strength. Not quite drunk but not quite sober, and he's scaring people again.
The highlight of day is when he amazes everyone by helping you get your blocked-in car out. He does this by easily lifting your car from its parking spot and setting it in the middle of the street so you can drive back home. He gets to show off a bit more of his abilities ( ki blast, flying, transforming into a super saiyan ) where everyone is actually excited for him to come back for another cookout to show off what else he can do.
Raditz -
Tumblr media
Not at all bothered by matching outfits. He understands the importance of looking like a unit and he's ready to make a lasting, perfect impression on your family.
Even matching you, he's sticking out like a sore thumb with his height and muscular build. The aunties are gonna take notice of him quickly and try to get handsy with his hair.
Gets asked over and over what he does for a living to be so in shape. It's easier to say he was in the military
Also not safe from hairline jokes
He's drawn into the grilling process. It's the most important job of the whole event after all, he's gotta know what makes cooking food this particular way so special. Somehow ends up running the grill for a while and takes it seriously. Shoos you when he feels like you're distracting him.
Has a bad time when he doesn't pay attention to the kids sneaking up behind him and they snag his tail to see if it's real or fake. He "helps" keep them occupied by chasing them around for it.
Of course, his tail being revealed as real does allow him to show off some of his abilities ( ki blast, strength, flight ) and scares the kids from trying to touch it again. Honestly scared a lot of people with his display, but you reassure them he's just kidding. He's definitely getting into all of the physical activities after that RIP his clean outfit.
He's not participating in any of the dances either, but you catch him tapping his foot to some of the songs. But everyone looked like they were having fun doing them, maybe you can show him how to do the steps for next time when you're home alone.
He may have been mad at the kids, but winds up catching lightning bugs with them. If you're freaked out by them then he's going to tease you with them, but if you're not then he's awed by how beautiful you look when you let it crawl around your hand before it takes off into the night
Bardock -
Tumblr media
As long as he doesn't suspect you of trying to make him look silly, then he doesn't really care about matching outfits or not.
Is pretty standoffish in meeting everyone, uttering a few words here and there throughout the occasion until the food is served and he starts to open up to everyone more. Granted, with a mouth full of food. Not hesitating on going back for seconds, thirds, and so on.
Gets really into the vibe of playing spades once he figures out how it works. Really into it.
Sticks pretty close to you for the most part, but you lose sight of him when all the physical activities start to get going. He ends up taking them a little too seriously until you remind him they're just games. And also kids are playing.
Absolutely not going to dance no matter how many aunties encourage him to join them on the dance floor. Definitely tapping his foot to a few songs and just chilling in the fun and inviting atmosphere of the party. Enjoys you dancing beside him or holding onto him while you sway your body to a song, it puts a little smile on his face.
Exposes his abilities when you volunteer him to make a quick run to restock a few food items that ran low and he just flies off to get them, back before you could even give the full details about the other things he can do.
Underestimates his ability to drink beers and then a mix of cocktails being handed his way to try. Sleeps it off by sitting next to you and using your whole body as a pillow, arms around your waist to keep you close and head on your shoulder.

Mafia!Taehyung - Regret
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Note: A bit angsty, let me know what you think.
Part 1 -> Unavailable
Tumblr media
He tilted his head back, resting it against the backrest, letting his eyes relax for a second. The radio played quietly in the background to help him focus on the work but also not to disturb his men that were sleeping in their bunks. The light was dimmed, but numerous silver decorations scattered it throughout the room, and the light color of the walls also helped with making the room brighter.
Few months ago he wouldn't even think about playing music while working or repainting his office, but ever since he met her lots of things have changed. It was almost 2AM, and the station he was listening to was playing some old jazz singles, when suddenly the transmission was interrupted by news.
It's not like he was interested in what's happening in the world, but when the speaker said: Dark Green Chevrolet Impala SS from 1967 his heart stopped beating. Taehyung abruptly raised his head before pushing himself up quickly onto his feet. He went straight for his phone, which was charging on the other end of the room.
7 missed calls from 'Y/N✨️👑'
V did not even for a moment care about the door slamming shut, or the sound waking up everyone else as he ran out. Actually he was not able to hear anything except his hard rumbling in his ears as he made a beeline for his car. Taehyung rode through several red lights ignoring the few angry drivers who were slamming their fists against their horns at such late hours.
He was slowly losing control over his body to the strong, overwhelming emotions that were gradually clouding his mind. His hand was squeezing the wheel tightly, to this point where his knuckles turned white and accompanied by a burning sensation at the tips of his fingers.
He hit the breaks pedal once the blue and red light of the ambulance appeared before him. Wheels squeaked on the wat surface of the road, catching everyone's attention. Taehyung jumped out of the car, leaving the key in the ignition switch behind him.
He noticed a you officer coming his way, but this time he didn't care about the police officers that may cuff him up and send him to jail nor did he care about the gun that was aimed at him few seconds later.
"HANDS IN THE AIR!"
"Where is she?" Taehyung asked calmly.
"ON YOUR KNEES!"
"WHERE IS SHE!?" He yelled, effectively knocking the gun out of the officer's hand. It was not his first time and definitely it won't be the last. He turned the young cop around and wrapped his arm around the office's neck as he pressed his own gun to his head.
"Where is she?" His voice was weak, filled with worry and pain. The adrenaline was slowly disappearing from his system, making him stumble as he pushed the man towards the ambulance.
"She's dead." A new voice said, catching his attention. It was Lieutenant Kang, who was on his case. They have met a few times, most of them were organized by Taehyung himself.
"Put your guns down, boys. Today is not the day where the Tiger gets caught. Today he is just a man."

Having feelings about Steve and feeling incompetent and also his sirviro's guilt tonight care to join me *offers beverage of choice*
Oh, I will most certainly take this bait.
The thing about Steve is that we are constantly led to believe that he’s…kind of a goof? After we get over the hump of douche!Steve in season one, he’s presented as this sweet-but-dopey, thank-god-he’s-pretty sort of character. He struggles with academics — has a hard time writing his college essay, wasn’t admitted into any of the schools he applied to. He’s a little slow on the uptake and struggles to keep up with faster paced conversations (the “clock-maker” dialogue at the Creel house and not following Max’s vampire metaphor are good examples). He’s also ridiculed for these things by people who are meant to love and support him. His parents don’t seem to give him any form of academic help and deem him lazy and ungrateful when he fails to get into college. Dustin is constantly sarcastic with him and even dismisses Steve’s legitimate and helpful observations, like when Steve noticed the music in the background of the Russian transmission. Even his perfectly legitimate sports metaphors, which he likely uses because he doesn’t have a frame of reference for the kids’ D&D analogies but knows sports like the back of his hand, are dismissed and played off as “dumb jock” behavior by others. The only person we ever see actually encouraging and taking the time to help Steve is Nancy, but that’s neither here nor there. I have a whole post about Steve’s book smarts vs street smarts, which is honestly the basis of his feelings of inadequacy.
Steve is constantly told that he is not smart. This is reiterated to him again, and again, and again. He also struggles in other areas of his life as he gets older. We see this most in his failed attempts at romance. He feels like he was a bad boyfriend to Nancy, really seems to internalize that. He can’t get a single date despite flirting with just about every Scoops Ahoy customer he can. When he does start getting dates, they’re all duds. So, here’s this young guy, he feels like he’s dumb and unlovable, like he’s just a screw-up.
But what is he good at? What does he know, without a shadow of a doubt, that’s he’s good at? Caring for other people.
This is the boy who ran back into the house with the flickering lights and scary monster, even though he did have reason to be upset with both Nancy and Jonathan (he had no way of knowing, at that point, that no cheating had taken place). He ran back in even though Nancy and Jonathan told him to leave. He had a clear out and he decided to run toward the fire.
That energy is carried over into his season two team-up with Dustin and the kids. He jumps right into battle, making sure that the kids were safe and single-handedly taking on a demodog so that they wouldn’t be put at risk. He’s the one who goes out to meet Billy because he knows that Max is scared, puts himself in the line of fire to protect a girl he barely knows. Whenever the group has to do something dangerous, Steve makes sure that he is in the one in the most vulnerable position, either diving in first so that he is first one to be exposed to the risk or sticking toward the back so that he can see and act if/when something goes wrong. He’s the one who dives into the lake to look for the gate. He’s the one making sure that everyone else gets out if the Upside Down and into the safety of Eddie’s trailer before he even thinks of saving himself and he’s the first one to go back in when they set their kill Vecna plan in motion.
Steve’s superpower is his selflessness, his fierce desire to protect those around him. He will always put others before himself, and I think that is the root of his survivor’s guilt as well. He’s finally found something that he feels confident he’s good at, but despite his best efforts other people still get hurt. Steve feels like he failed at his one useful skill, his one talent, and maybe to him that means he’s not even really good at that, that he’s been fooling himself. I think his feelings of incompetency are at play here, too. He feels like everyone around him is somehow smarter and better than he is, that if anyone should have to die it should be him because he seems himself as less valuable than his friends, which is only going to make the loss and grief hit harder because what he likely wants, above all else, is to take their place, to sacrifice himself so that they can live. It’s…truly heartbreaking, when you break it all down.

A while a ago a made a short piece of Book of the War apocrypha to act a trailer to a fan film I never ended up making due to to scheduling conflict and the fact that no I know in real life knows much about Faction Paradox. There where supposed to by other parts composing short “Book of the Remote” but that to never came around when it became clear that that the film would never be made. I have decided to put it up here to see if anyone is interested in giving it a look
Crowley | Remote Participant | 20th Century
A Remote agent of particular passion and guile, currently living on earth in the 1980’s. Unlike most wartime agents she is not discreet in fact that she sees things from a wartime perspective they are almost blatant in this fact. She is a loud punk singer, attempting to create a shift in Earth culture away from a ruling elite and towards a remote style anarchic society. The most obvious clue to her identity as a member of the Remote is the lyric in one of her songs the lyric “.. Where they keep him doped on beer and hopes, Of television dreams he's living on the screens...'' This is a clear reference to the Broken Remote, the New Young Gods and the Jallama Reed Transmissions. The Reason they have not been noticed by other wartime agents is due to this bluntness they are so obviously a member of the Remote no one would ever think they are a member of the Remote. Crowley (the name having nothing to with the occultist or the character in a popular novel about devils and angles, and in fact is a name they once took on in movie criticising how some punks where selling out to the corporations they were supposed to be fighting) has made their presence know and whilst not the most popular due to the fact that they refuse to work in anyway either the major corporations of the music industry. Whilst her fan base may be small they are incredibly loyal. It is also worth noting that left wing Punk culture itself has surprising similarities with the Remote in much the same way that the Vodou practitioners of the 18th century had with the Faction; and so it is unsurprising that at least one of them would be sent to integrate with this social culture.

sigh https://twitter.com/lrtendencias/status/1697094916378137071?s=46
Hi anon!
So this is what the article translates as to me:
"Will BTS's Taehyung talk about BLACKPINK's Jennie on 'You Quiz'? V from BTS will appear on the program 'You Quiz On The Block' this September 6, and his participation sparked a series of speculations about the topics he will address.
BTS's Taehyung continues promotions for his solo debut after releasing two tracks as part of his album 'Layover'. The visual of the most important group in South Korea today, recently became a trend not only for his musical skills, but also for the alleged relationship he has with Jennie from BLACKPINK.
Will you talk about this romance in your next interview? Will V mention Jennie? This speculation went viral due to an article that a controversial Korean journalist posted on his website. "In particular, there is anticipation as to whether he will bring up the dating rumors with BLACKPINK's Jennie, which caused a stir in the media for a while. He is also expected to talk about his individual activities aside from BTS, as well as his future plans during his military hiatus. ", is read in the post of the communicator. The content of the interview and the program in its entirety is unknown, but what is presumed is that the artist would not talk about the BLACKPINK singer, since for this they would have to have the permissions of their agencies and anticipate the reaction of both fandoms. , ARMY and BLINK.
BTS's Taehyung on 'You Quiz': schedules The transmission of this program will be given by the signal of the tvN chain, this September 6 at 8:45 p.m. m. according to South Korean time. Check below the hours that will be handled in Latin American countries."
Words to notice here are "speculations", "anticipation", "content is unknown", "presumed". In short, they know nothing. The 'needing permission of their companies' also goes against the actual statement of the companies which was "it's the artist's personal life". So all in all, nonsense and just a stirring of fandom to gain clicks.
Tumblr media
I highly doubt Tae will mention anything about Jennie, in fact... I find it more likely he will say something to shade the whole thing.

What is funny? Is it a joke we tell? A mere coincidence? Or a ironic twist of fate that makes us question life itself? Sometimes what’s funny to someone may not be so funny to someone else. The monkey is one of the most funniest animals in the world, but it’s also known as the wisest. The Monkey Miraculous represents honor, instinct, swiftness, and playfulness. It gives the user the power to make other peoples powers malfunction so as to have the user have a high advantage to defeat their opponent. Kim was gifted with this miraculous to save the heroes when the chips were down (“Party Crasher”). Fitting since he’s the lovable jokester. However, with this kind of power given to a villain, it’s not funny. Just who and what can they use it for? Let’s see:
*Derision-In the past couple of eps, we saw that Marinette Dupain-Cheng had trouble saying “I love you” to her boyfriend Adrien (“Perfection”), but finally talked to her friends about it (“Migration”). Despite that progress, what is still keeping our poor pigtailed protagonist from saying those 3 little words!? To answer that! Let’s go waaaaaaay back to “Miraculous B.C” (“before Césaire”. You’ll see why I call it that)
(memory flashback harp music plays)
꒰ఎ✨Back in the 8th Grade, when everyone looked the way they did in that quick flashback photo of “Reflefta”, Bunhead Marinette had a crush on, I sh*t you not, Yellow/Red Hoodie Lê Chiê’n Kim! Yes! That Kim! The obnoxious sporto! The guy that challenged people to stupid dares (“Timebreaker”), insults animals (“Animan”) and bullies his classmates (“Origins Part 2:Stoneheart”). That Kim! Course, Bunhead Marinette was too in love to notice these flaws and even her best friend White Sweater Socqueline Wang thought it was ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous! (this is why I called it “Miraculous B.C”). Remember Soc? The “Other” Ladybug who runs the art store (“Jubilation”) who helped the new dynamic duo with her supplies (“Kwami’s Choice Part 1:Transmission”) and even our OG heroes too (“Perfection”). Yeah! She was our Alya stand-in. Bunhead Marinette invites Yellow/Red Hoodie Kim to the local swimming pool to confess her love to him there and Chloe (same as ever) convinces Yellow/Red Hoodie Kim to prank Bunhead Marinette as his declaration of love. Unfortunately, it did a number on her…….a real bad number! The rest is all ancient history✨໒꒱
(memory flashback harp music plays)
Back in “Miraculous A.C” (“after Césaire”), Adrien takes Marinette to the local swimming pool for their date and she starts having panic attacks from her last romantic encounter there and it almost gets her akumatized as “Panic”. Almost! Our girl kept her cool once again! Strike 3! Monarch! You.Are.Outta herrre! You stupid Butterfly Boy! He tried to do that the first time making her “Princess Justice” (“Ladybug”). What would that have looked like!? A blindfolded villainess holding a scale, wielding a sword and wearing a tiara that forced people to tell the truth!? Puh-lease! The second time was “Unmasker” (“Exaltation”). Let me guess, a fully covered up villainess that only has their face exposed so as to show that there are “no secrets” and magically removed whatever face shield a person had!? C’mon! Now here, it’s “Panic”!? Idk what they would’ve looked like, but I’m assuming her power would be to make others run and panic like crazy. Phffft! :P. Doesn’t Monarch know he can never ever akumatize our girl!?😏
After Kim gives Adrien and Ondine the brief history of “Miraculous B.C”, they call him out on his awful stunt and it gets worse when Kim foolishly mentions how hot Chloe is, in front of his own girlfriend, then he gets annoyed by them not having a “sense of humor” and is akumatized as Dark Humor, with the power of the Monkey Miraculous (his given miraculous), that makes him shoot arrows of randomness at people causing them to pull cruel pranks on innocent civilians. His second akumatized form and, appearance wise, it’s sh*t! It’s basically just an inverted coloring of his Dark Cupid look with the addition of his swimming goggles on! Monarch wasn’t trying again was he?🙄 He couldn’t have at least given him a dark jester suit or something!? Ugh! Obviously, judging by what I just said, I prefer his Dark Cupid look. His power was the only effective part about him cuz it did screw up Ladybug’s “Lucky Charm” power, but she made it work. He’s not as quick as our buginette is😏.
There you have it folks! The reason why Marinette Dupain-Cheng is the insecure, anxious, elaborate planning, schedule memorizing and creepy stalker that she is for the past 4 seasons, why she went from a “Heart Thinker” to a “Head Thinker” and why she struggles with her relationship with Adrien. It’s.All.Kim’s.Fault! If he hadn’t pulled that creepy crawly prank, Marinette would’ve been happy and with a boyfriend! Marinette didn’t wanna repeat of blinding moving forward with a guy and so she became a research freak and that way she’d be more careful and not fall for any more tricks! It’s no wonder why she didn’t fall for Cat Noir upon first meeting! He reminded her too much of her first failed crush! Then again, if Kim hadn’t pranked Marinette, that would also mean none of the events in the show would’ve happened either. There were good moments and breakthroughs that changed the whole shtick of things that slightly changed the status quo. Whoa! Talk about your “butterfly” effect! Badum-tish🥁. In Miraculous B.C, before our golden boy and aspiring journalist came into the story, Chloe dominated the school (even outside of it) with an iron (and nail polished) fist and everyone, including the staff, was too afraid to stand up against her. Poor Marinette, before gaining confidence with the Ladybug Miraculous, was a complete doormat to Chloe’s neverending bullying (sighs sympathetically), but not Socqueline! Thanks to her and her Kung Fu fighting, she prevented Chloe from publicly humiliating Marinette. Sadly, it also got her expelled 2wks before graduation. Sorry Soc☹️. Now we know why Marinette became fast friends with Alya. She’s just as bold and assertive as Soc! That’s good cuz we need someone to keep Marinette grounded and encourage her to be brave. Kim didn’t mean any harm though. He just can’t see when a joke crosses the line. The real person at fault was actually Chloe who orchestrated the whole thing and Kim fell for it hook-line-and-sinker cuz of his crush on her (“Dark Cupid”). Luckily, he grew out of it and moved on to someone better (“Syren”). Thanks to Ondine, he got character development and even apologized to Marinette. Thank you, Kim! He finally got the wise aspect of the monkey! Adrien was pissed af when he found what Kim did traumatizing Marinette and for the second time, almost committed murder! (“Jubilation”). Adrien, I know what he did to your gf was wrong and it’s why she can’t say “I love you”, BUT THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO GO! After Kim turned over a new leaf, Adrien confronted Chloe to do the same, but as you’d except, the b*tch said “No” cuz she only cares about herself. Oh Adrien, if you couldn’t convince her to change (“Despair Bear”) and mean it (“Queen Banana”) or have the heroes give her a chance by officially giving her the Bee Miraculous (“Malediktator”) and teach her a lesson about being a better person by taking it away from her (“Battle of the Miraculous Part 2:Miracle Queen”), what makes you think she’ll see the error of her ways herself!? Chloe is a notoriously entitled b*tch who thinks she can treat everyone, mostly Marinette, as if they’re lesser for “fun”! Nobody can convince anyone that they can redeem Chloe! (remembers being spoiled by “Revelation”) OH SH*T!

Tell me about the 100 Gecs lore please I want to know!!!!!!! :)
im shocked anyone found that post thank you for asking LOL here u go, mostly copy pasted from my discord server but also edited a bit since i listened to literally every gec song ever for some reason: -
this lore starts off with the album named after the band, 100 gecs, which followed the journey of two stoners and a talking dog. the first song in my made-up little lore series, dog food, is about a wizard of some sort who communicates and lives through a dog they found and take care of. the song sounds like it talks about how a deceased someone is currently buried, and how they seem to talk to laura and dylan through the dog. laura and dylan start getting ~magic texts~ that they let go of as kinda spammy since there are 80 unread messages. what those messages are about are unknown, but eventually the dog goes missing, which leads into fuck teeth, being seemingly about laura starting to be able to transform into a dog and starting to notice everyone close to her all leaving her behind and then dylans just coming across her mid transformation and doing drugs with her (thats a lot of this lore weirdly enough). they get so fucked up and high he tries to feed her his own leg, but she breaks the transformation somehow and they dont really question it. they both revel in their powers and continue doing drugs. in the final song, laura sings about now how she has everything she could ever want in the world (twenty-five bands and a single gecko...?) but is a bit lost about how they came to be magical, trying to talk to dylan on the phone, not really realizing she's not using it cause it died- but actually using telekinesis. this is all also while on fucking drugs cause it isnt 100 gecs without good ass weed.
it continues with 1000 and 10000 gecs- 1000 gecs, is about laura and dylan BEFORE they became magical. 745 sticky is just about wanting to be rich and famous, and how theyre essentially there but dont feel adequate enough- spending all their money and waking up early all the time just to perform and make music to no end, slowly not enjoying it but still going as its keeping them alive. money machine is about a rival they encountered, a big guy with a big truck. unfortunately, money machine is not actually linked to lore, but i like to speculate that the rival put a curse on them to make them always unhappy about being famous in the first place. which leads into 800db cloud, where laura and dylan literally sing about how they miss either being with a lover, and miss smoking weed and having fun because theyre always leaving town and having to defend themselves from strange amalgamations that come after them when they smoke or start to feel happy. I Need Help Immediately is a transmission from something they called the tree of clues they overheard one night, but they ignored to go horse racing and try to make more money. stupid horse is about how they lost a LOT of money due to that Truck Guys Curse, and they stole a horse who essentially leads them to the tree of clues. it sends laura and dylan home with Magic Weed after ??? something happens, and a magic fly drives dylan fucking insane & he kills it and thats where all the newer music starts coming in where theyre flying around and shit. i wud nvrstop u, gecgecgec, and gec 2 u are all unfortunately just normal songs with no relation to the lore. no new album yet, but TWO songs are currently up to date with that lore: mememe and Doritos & Fritos. mememe is about dylan and laura talking shit to their exes, while demonstrating their newfound abilities of flying and reality manipulation, letting go of the past lives as just normal famous people. Doritos & Fritos explore a town thats being somewhat devastates and confused by laura and dylan, who are now just flying around the world being stoners
jesus christ this was less organized b4 i actually heavily edited this. LOL the end is all i kept intact, i hope you enjoy this silly dump abt nonsense i thought up

Alright before we get started I just wanted to screw around a little with the Security Breach DLC trailer's reveal of Eclipse. Basically having cementing at least one of the fire endings as canon. Thus, throwing a fucking wrench into my original rewrite of Security Breach to have Mint as canon. This won't be anything cohesive, just a few headcannons.
Things that have stayed the same:
- Sun still tends to not leave the Daycare area (or what's left of it) if he can help it, but this time out of fear. Mostly because the rest of the building is unstable and collapsing in on itself at random intervals. Moon is a little less obligated to roam, but he does stray out at a small range.
- Sun and Moon are still contained within one body.
- Afton Virus has been dealt with in only two animatronics ( Moon and Music Man (maybe Freddy if you squint)), but Mint is still responsible for debugging it out of Moon.
- Moon is still a little shit thanks to the ✨theatre programming✨
- Gregory is not homeless, he's got Mint as a human dad figure.
- Mint is still mutuals with the really horny engineer Y/N from that one fic.
- Post Afton fight fire, Mint becomes unemployed. They still do their mechanic work at home with various hobbyist projects. This comes in handy when they find their boyfriends later.
- Mint and the animatronics are still friends! It breaks their heart to see what had happened to them after they return to the Pizzaplex.
Things that diverged from the original spitballings:
- Mint does not have time to run back in to get Sun and Moon out of the burning pizzaplex safely. They know this and cry heavily on the night of the fire in the parking lot. For more than just them, but it's a major reason they were upset.
- Despite the fire, a lot of the innards of the Pizzaplex are left intact, minus the fact the building has collapsed slightly into the ground.
- Mint is the only one that was able to exit the building that night. Gregory and Freddy end up trapped in the sewer / depths and somehow make their way back up into the main pizzaplex.
- In the parking lot, they get a transmission on their Fazwatch from Gregory from under the building. It's heavily distorted, but it's a sign that he's alive. Mint cries more due to this, but is relieved he's alive.
- Mint returns to the pizzaplex the next day, strapped up in the equivalent of hiking gear in search of their son Gregory, their boyfriends Sun and Moon, their friends consisting of the main animatronic cast, and some surviving mechanical equipment to take home and fool with.
- Unknown plotpoint detected, I'm not sure what's driving the DLC's story yet so I can't really write on where Mint fits into the story.
Probably very very very canon divergent spitballs:
- Mint finds Cassie first, and discovers she's in contact with their son via transmissions. Mint helps Cassie stay alive in the ruins for a while until they encounter the daycare area. Out of mutual interest of finding where Gregory is so the group can leave.
- Once at the daycare, Mint literally breaks down and weeps when Eclipse bursts the door open to greet the two.
- Despite the daycare attendants' damaged appearance, that doesn't stop Mint from embracing them immediately. They physically try to comfort Mint, but are also a little shaken up. As both parties thought they had died.
- Cassie is noticably confused, and beckons Mint to continue on their ventures, but Mint refuses and apologizes profusely. They stay behind with their boyfriends.
- Cassie continues the DLC on her own after resting up at the daycare/doing the section there if that's applicable.
- Mint examines their boyfriends' body for injuries and cries a little more. Is a little concerned about the fact one of their feet is missing, constantly asks if they're in pain and if they can do anything to help.
- Mint spends hours helping them repair a handful of damaged internals with some of the tools they packed. Having jerry-rigged one of the various generators in the daycare to be used as a power supply for their soldering iron. Sadly, they cannot do much about their outer shell at that moment.
- Mint asks if they know where their foot went as they had hoped they could reattach it, the answer was yes. However the metal was crushed beyond repair without some specialized process being involved. Defeated, Mint packs it into their backpack in hopes that once they leave they can do something about it later.
- Sun and Moon can still walk relatively fine without it, but seem to crawl on all fours for long distances. It leave behind a distinct metal scraping sound either way.
- Mint discusses their next course of action with Sun and Moon, undecided if they want to visit their old workshop, get them back up to the surface so they can be safe at Mint's home while they continue the search for Gregory, or drag them along to go find Gregory and return later for looting. They decide on the latter and leave the area together.
- The rest of the DLC plays out as vague as that sounds. IDK where to go from here. Mint, Sun, and Moon find their son big whoop. What happens to everything else? Idk yet, we'll see.
- Low-key hoping Mint just dedicates their post-DLC livings to just working with horny Y/N to restore the ruined animatronics to their former glory. Fazbear Entertainment and Vannie DNI.
And uh yeah. That's all I got. The DLC hasn't actually come out yet, and even the trailer makes it unclear if Freddy is even "in-tact" (as much as he could be due to his wear and tear by the Afton Ending). There's a lot of things up in the air rn and I absolutely cannot wait for Steel Wool to release the Ruins DLC. I'm going to be eating so fucking good when it comes out istg.

alright posting about it because I love it. for a rock human I had to create a stand. here it is
it's named after this song, but I just call it Arpeggi for short.
It's Layne Funagata's stand, one he had since before ever joining the org.
I've already explained it so . transcripts of lazy midnight conversation under the cut
also layne's stand has rings of eyes surrounding its face like the ophanim but instead it's head functions like a 360° camera because it's a mechanical stand. does this make sense. the rings are attached and rotate around a fixed point (the 'face'. still deciding what it is)
fun fact. because it's meant to look like a seraphim. arpeggi also has several pairs of wings. HOWEVER. theyre entirely mechanical and have cables attached to them like a powerline. it's such a strange thing, it's mechanical but also some parts of it are carved out of rock
ohh my god that reminds me. arpeggi follows the jojolion trend of extremely mechanical humanoid stands and. ok let me get a definition
Tumblr media
now this is what the song is named after right. for this reason I thought it would be cute for arpeggi to have a mess of thin wires in their chest that are pulled tight enough for you to play like a harp. guess what those multiple arms are for. guess how its ability activates
.....
OH this isn't a cosmetic thing. the ability activates when it pulls on the strings
.....
layne is a conman and for that reason arpeggi is both a mix of the gambling stands in the series (osiris, marilyn manson) and yet also relies on unknowing hypnosis
that's what the chords do. it's a very obvious cue but the playing of the music with the ability. it`s literally designed not to be noticeable and for your brain to just tune it out. he openly cheats at bets and arpeggi grants him immunity because it leaves whoever he's playing with completely ignorant to his cheating. it doesn't actually change anything about your mind, you don't act any different and he can't command you, but it quite literally rewrites what youre seeing and displays something else like a mirage
he openly rigs a card draw to benefit himself? you see him playing entirely fairly as long as arpeggi is playing its music
this also works for other things which makes fighting him disorienting and confusing, especially because arpeggi only has to strike one chord for the effect to take hold. however in that case it only lasts for a limited time, for a constant effect it needs to play a song
he just uses it for bets and gambling. for the fun of it. never anything too serious, he does it for the fun it seems which is why he backed out when he met araneri and saw hof
the way he rigged araneri's bet was by pouring him shots of liquor that was much stronger than they'd both agreed to drink to get him to tap out early. and then hof manifested and he gently switched their shotglasses around
fun fact, arpeggi IS kindof biological but only in some places. the inside of its chest and its hands and its eyes (including thr ones on the rings)? that's it. you can see Biological Pieces in there when you look behind the strings to see it play but most of them are encased in rock or metal and don't move much. and its eyes usually stay closed
only its hands are the most noticeable. it only plays with 4 at a time because the others are more mechanical and produce a worse sound on the strings, which it genuinely cares about and gets annoyed by. they're much more dexterous than metal could be and much softer so those 4 are clearly skin despite how they look
then thr main body seems to be composed of metal and filled and draped with electrical wiring like a transmission tower including the blinking red lights and. then the head carved out of stone in the middle of the rings. it's a beast and i love it
I mentioned it has multiple pairs of wings. it does, they're just mechanical. 2 of them though are petrified like they were encased with clay and rock and also have moss growing on them like layne's hair and. are unable to move. it drapes multiple wires and lights over them since they're stable and they won't fall off

Six’s transformation (Or how I imagine it)
Tumblr media
There was an open door on the other side of the room, but she saw no point of going through it. It occurred to her that all trying and succeeding in escaping a prison led to was being trapped in another, isolation being a repeated extra to it. And worse, she had failed to stick to another promise she made to herself - to not get attached. And yet she got attached to someone and had to see a monster set off to slaughter them and she was powerless to do anything to stop it.
She had failed again.
Intense sorrow filled Six’s entire being, one that was too deep for tears. She hung her head and sat down on the suitcase, hugging her knees and burying her face into her kneecaps. The pink spotlight above her quickly turned blue in the process. And as the next step in its plan, the transmission sped up time within the tower. Making the world outside go far slower than the world within the tower, than for Six.
Tumblr media
Six lost track of time aeons ago. The sorrow she felt in the beginning persisted, but something else started to move in - anger. Why? Why did that man take her? He targeted Mono first and then settled on her and didn’t pursue Mono until she tried to escape from this terrible tower. Why not take them both at the same time at least? What had she and Mono done to get this?
Tumblr media
As the world spun around her and time seemed to stand still before her, confusion joined the mix of Six’s feelings. Why was the TV causing Mono so much pain? He had gone inside the screen, but was never devoured, unlike the others. Why? Why was it different for him?
Tumblr media
The sorrow, anger and confusion that Six was filled to the brim with were the ingredients that the tower desired to alter her form. The faster time and anger made her grow larger and her hair longer, the sorrow kept her spine and neck hunched over, and the confusion added new joints to her limbs and made them mismatching lengths. Six however, was too engrossed in the emotions to notice her body changing.
Tumblr media
The tower sapped away at her sanity, playing with, unravelling and then breaking a couple of the strings of her sanity, like they were toys. But being careful to not break all of them. It needed her to be at least half sane when it could enact the next step of its plan. It also started to change the room, but Six again didn’t notice.
Tumblr media
The tower had finished moulding her form and the room around her. It was floored with wooden planks, had familiar wallpaper on the walls, toys scattered everywhere and the once physically normal child occupant was now a large, distorted, lanky creature with long limbs with extra joints. Her face was completely obscured by her grown-out hair, and her raincoat had been morphed to grow with her.
Tumblr media
Here are all of the stages in one image. Here’s the background music for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MELuq9C6X0w
I wanted to draw Six’s transformation into Monster Six as being a process similar to Mono’s transformation into the Thin Man.

Stone Temple Pilot and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland discussed in his book, Not Dead & Not for Sale, a particular incident that happened when he was 12, years before he started down the path of music and addiction that would come to define his life.
He recalled a "big muscular guy, a high school senior...[who] rode the bus with me everyday to school...invited me to his house." There, Weiland says he was sexually assaulted in this person's home and then threatened into silence.
"The dude raped me," he said. "It was quick, not pleasant."
Weiland went on to say that not only was he indeed too scared to tell anyone at the time, but that the memory was repressed, only being unearthed during therapy sessions much later in life during one of his many stints in rehab. "Therapy will do that to you," he said.
He also revealed that after an argument with his first wife, Jannina Castaneda, which resulted in Weiland leaping from a moving car to score heroin, he ended up at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles with none other than Courtney Love, saying, "She was one of my dealer's best customers."
His marriage to Castaneda would fall apart by the late 90s. Before the divorce was finalized, he began dating former model Mary Forsberg, who he married after a stint in jail. They would have two kids together, Noah and Lucy. But after several domestic-violence incidents involving police - both were arrested at different times; Forsberg once torched $80,000 of his clothes in their driveway, which she documented later in a memoir - the couple divorced in 2007.
That same year, Weiland's younger brother Michael died of cardiomyopathy, a heart issue from drug abuse. After this, Weiland started smoking crack.
"Scott loved his brother," Michael's widow said. "It devastated him. I don't think he ever truly recovered from it." She also says his ex-wife made it hard for him to see his kids.
Speaking of his first time trying heroin, Weiland wrote, "The opiate took me to a place I'd always dreamed of going. I can't name the place, but I can say that I was undisturbed and unafraid, a free-floating man finally free of demons."
The tragedies of his adolescence in the book are laid bare, though he rarely elaborates. While he expresses guilt over his part in failed relationships, he rarely reflects on the lasting damage done to ex-wives, former bandmates, family members, friends, and ultimately, his two children.
But that could possibly be attributed to his addiction, as there is a different tone, a higher level of care and an acute sense of self awareness in his adolescence that is noticeably absent in the rest of the book.
His brother Michael's death seemed to have a foreshadowing effect on Weiland's life, even when he doesn't say so explicitly. Any desire heard in his words to stay off drugs was gone after that. His attempts at meaningful connections are eclipsed by his need to withdraw, as is often the tragedy of the pinnacle of addiction. When he was diagnosed with bipolar, it was much later in life.
On album Shangri La Dee Da, Stone Temple Pilot's last album before their initial breakup, Weiland sings songs about addiction and manic depression, and the songs themselves seem to deliberately embody the fluctuation of addiction. Listening to Bi-Polar Bear or Transmissions from a Lonely Room can feel like hovering near a black hole. Weiland was reportedly sober for the album's recording, describing the process as a kind of restoration of "innocence" which he associated with the band's debut album, 1992's Core.
Right before he died, Weiland was on tour promoting his 2015 album Blaster with his new band, the Wildabouts, after releasing two solo albums, 12 Bar Blues, and its follow up, "Happy" in Galoshes, years earlier.
12 Bar Blues in particular seemed at the time an expansion of Stone Temple Pilots' 1996 album Tiny Music...Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop. It's an odd, cracked looking glass of a rock record. It doesn't particularly resemble grunge in rhythm or composition. They deliberately absorbed the Beatles and glam rock into the design of their songs. The guitar tone is skeletal - narrow and fluorescent, like bone - and Weiland suddenly sings in a higher, more fragile register. His delivery - reptilian yet conversational - was heavily informed by David Bowie.
In 2011, two years before he was kicked out of the Stone Temple Pilots, he was at a small show promoting his Christmas album, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Wrote one critic, he "danced in his old way, a sort of boneless shimmying, but it was muted and weary." He was surrounded by jazz musicians and small constellations of Christmas lights. They gently crept through a strange jazz arrangement of the Stone Temple Pilots song Vasoline.
After reuniting with Stone Temple Pilots again to release a self-titled LP, then being fired from the band for announcing a solo tour of its greatest hits without their blessing, he was back with a new band, the Wildabouts, when guitarist Jeremy Brown died of an overdose. At the same time, Weiland was experiencing episodes of paranoia and mania caused by his bipolar disorder. After a show at Boston's Brighton Music Hall, Weiland hosted a disastrous VIP meet-and-greet session, heckling one fan with "Let's suck a dick!" and insulting others who had paid $150 for the interaction.
"Some girl hit on Scott and he goes, 'You know what? You can go f**ck yourself. Do you have any idea how much I love sucking my wife's pussy?'" recalls his wife, photographer Jamie Wachtel. Weiland later apologized publicly on Facebook for acting like "a total asshole."
That same month, he threatened to twist the nipple of a reporter. "I've never felt more disrespected in an interview and am honestly shaken by the experience," said the journalist in an email to Weiland's publicist.
Jamie had confronted Weiland's bipolar episodes before. "He would be on the couch with a drink, smoking and watching whatever mindless television," she remembers. "I started to see he had paranoia and some of the bipolar stuff started to come out." He kept his curtains closed all the time. "At one point, it was so bad I had to move out because he was unstable." They found one medication that worked, but he gained 40 pounds, so he stopped taking it. Eventually, they found a medication that leveled him out. "For the last couple of years, he was doing pretty great."
Then, on the Wildabouts spring 2015 tour, his behavior became scarily unrecognizable. A video of him singing one of his songs in a painfully off-key rendition went viral. It turned out that his prescribed dosage of the antipsychotic drug Geodon was too high. "I thought he had some rapid-onset version of Parkinson's or something," Jamie said. After an adjustment, the change, she says, "was like night and day." Weiland was regularly taking six prescription drugs, and had hepatitis C, likely contracted from years of intravenous drug use.
When Weiland learned his mother Sharon had progressive cancer, it took him a step back in his progress. Sharon had divorced his father when he was only 2, and part of it was due to Sharon's previous alcohol problem, which was confirmed by his father Kent. Sharon had been sober for 25 years. When she learned that both of her sons were heroin users, it would prompt a slip.
Weiland was on the road touring when wife Jamie says she got a text from him saying, "I'm so in love with my beautiful wife." She tried to call and text him back but got no response. It wasn't like him not to get back to her, especially on a day off.
By the time tour manager Aaron Mohler had gone to check in on Weiland, he had already been dead. He had overdosed on a combination of cocaine, ethanol and methylenedioxyamphetamine (an analog of MDMA). Other significant conditions noted were atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, asthma, and multiple-substance dependence. Plus, he was on prescription medications Lunesta, Klonopin, Viagra, Dalmane, Buprenex, and Geodon.
Four days after Weiland's death, his ex-wife Mary Forsberg published a letter in Rolling Stone alleging her ex-husband was an absentee father. She also filed court documents asking to be named executor of his will, alleging that he had $2 million in assets and a trust with an undisclosed amount of funds.
"I don't know under what mattress she thinks she's going to find $2 million, because it sure as shit isn't there," said Jamie. Public records show more than $147,000 in state tax liens on Weiland's property. "He was broke."
A funeral was held at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, a place where Jamie and Scott used to watch movies frequently. Stone Temple Pilots three surviving members were there, but Forsberg and Weiland's two children were not.
"I didn't think it could physically hurt to miss someone, but it does," says Jamie. "I miss him. We all do."
Some interesting genealogy:
Scott was the son of Sharon and Kent Kline. He was adopted by his stepfather, John David Weiland. Scott's paternal grandfather was Paul D. Kline (the son of Peter Kline and Catherine "Katie" Walters). Paul was born in Pennsylvania, of German descent (Kline is a German name). Peter was the son of John Klein and Catherine Hayne. Scott's great-grandmother Catherine "Katie" Walters was the daughter of George Walters and Elizabeth Schneider.
Scott's paternal grandmother was Florence Gilbertson (the daughter of Oskar Vilhelm Aleksander Gulbrandsen, later William Oscar Gilbertson, and of Anna Elise Arnesen). Florence was born in Illinois, to Norweigan parents (it all makes sense now). Oskar was born in Oslo, the son of Ole Martin Gulbrandsen and Gurine Pedersdatter Halvteigen. Anna was also born in Oslo, the daughter of Gulbrand Arnesen and Anna Bergitte/Birgitte Hansen.
Scott's maternal grandfather's surname was Williams.

Shortwave Radiogram, 8-13 June 2023: Digital modes that pay no heed to the brightest cosmic explosion
I hope the fires, smoke and haze that affected much of North America in the past week have not had major adverse effects on you. I don't think they will impede our MFSK transmissions. Thanks to all of you who participated in last weekend's comparison of MFSK16, MFSK32 and MFSK64. My apologies for not tweeting my results during part of the weekend. On Sunday morning we discovered that our house had no internet access and no landline telephone, both provided by Verizon Fios. Attempts to fix it by way of self-troubleshooting and via the Verizon chat failed, so a Verizon technician visited on Monday. After checking all the systems, he determined it was a bad splitter in the Fios hub located a few blocks away. As part of the repair, he also replaced the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) on the side of our house, and the power supply for it, located in our storeroom. The new power supply no longer has a battery backup, so if we have a power failure, everything goes down. Anyway, during the internet interruption, I was able to tune in (via direct reception) and decode Shortwave Radiogram broadcasts (thus demonstrating the concept). But I could not tune in via remote SDRs, nor could I provide or receive updates via Twitter and email. The results of the experiments, based on your interesting reports, reminded me (because I had forgotten) why we don't usually include MFSK16 in our programs. MFSK16 is a robust mode in difficult reception conditions, but MFSK32 text succeeded almost every time MFSK16 succeeded. So we might as well transmit MFSK32. As for the images, I noticed a rather high failure rate among the preambles (triggers) of the MFSK64 images. This is probably because of the speed of their transmission. So I am considering using MFSK32 for the images, at least on a trial basis. The resolution of the MFSK32 images is fairly close to that of the MFSK64 images. (Images this weekend will be MFSK64.) A video of last weekend's Shortwave Radiogram (program 307) is provided by Scott in Ontario. The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany. Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 308, 8-13 June 2023, in MFSK modes as noted:   1:46  MFSK32: Program preview   2:58  MFSK32: SpaceX's Starlink Wins Contract for Ukraine   5:52  MFSK64: Why was brightest cosmic explosion exceptional?* 10:44  MFSK64: This week's images* 28:37  MFSK32: Closing announcements Please send reception reports to [email protected] And visit http://swradiogram.net Twitter: @SWRadiogram or https://twitter.com/swradiogram (visit during the weekend to see listeners’ results) Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/567099476753304 Shortwave Radiogram Gateway Wiki: https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Shortwave_Radiogram_Gateway
Tumblr media
Other Shortwave broadcast programs that include digital text and images include The Mighty KBC, Pop Shop Radio, and This Is A Music Show (TIAMS). The schedules for these fine broadcasts are posted here.
WØMM in Houston received these images Saturday, 3 June 2023, 2300-2330 UTC, on 7570 kHz from WRMI Florida ...

Ooh! A plot-heavy episode!
Raglan...
Ooh he changed his mind about self cide
Girl she is a cop
The things you notice, getting ready to kys, you notice
& that’s why you’re coming clean now? six months? (I wonder what happened in the AU that castle got sent to)
That’s cops for ya (I made it link by link, he says to beckett) it is Not Only her case, it is what happened AROUND it
Wow it’s already been a year since dick coonan? I mean ig... He did leave for the summer... Been 19 years
Oof this music is good. They spell it dominoes, interesting.
Oh gosh! Dang this guy dead! Where did the bullet hit him tho if it shot his coffee cup & got blood on beckett? (She just has ber radio on her?) One lincoln 40 you never actually repeated your last transmission
RM: An ex-cop gunned down in front of one of my own people. I’m going to have to do a press conference. Tell me you didn’t come down here without backup. (blurred in the background you can see ryan & esposito hear this & come over) KR: We were backing her, captain. JE: We were just uh, down the block when it happened. RM: Yeah uh-huh.  I like RM’s outfit today.  (won’t clip?) (Monty gets castle as HIS backup ten episodes later, not rly spoilers dw)
I love roy sm, I love his relationship with kate, I love how he’s another dad to her. You’re going to pick up those scissors & run around the house with them Pimoté, kaya pimpahta. Walk, don’t run. 
Yo that’s a cool hairspray thing. I remember playing games like that at camp, you had to go through a string maze without touching any & they were covered in glowstick goo so they could see if it got on you.  I love Ryan’s scarf & the way he says “You got it” all soft for kate. (also monty’s scarf) Castle sees it like this, right now, in this way. I just got a really intense memory while writing that. Hoo. I wish I had taken a pic tbh. (but didn’t he see coonan also die last year?) Girl you’re heading to the 12th? U got a change of clothes there? Wait why is it dark? I thought it was early morning & this was her morning workout & she met this guy in an hour... Maybe it was her I-just-got-home-from-work exercise.
Ah but you can see now it appears to be the next day with the dawn light & change in outfits Ryan plopping the box on the chair XD. Nice sweater too. Tho I’ve noticed he wears those a lot in future episodes.  (gathering clips after finishing s7: I love the progression of clothing style for all of them)
Gary McAllister, a cop buddy of John Raglan, the detective who worked Johanna’s case. JR was murdered today. Dick Coonan was a hired assassin to kill JB. it was 19 years ago, then JB was killed 12 years ago.  Raglan knows stuff & mcallister ALSO knows stuff & he’s keeping his mouth shut. 
Cops.
Mcallister mentions this guy tho. Vulcan Simmons, runs drug trade, got involved with Raglan.  (remember this guy for future seasons) If he’s this involved, why would mcallister point u to him?
KB: Nobody’s booked him in years. RC: What does that mean? He found religion? JE: He got smart. Started swimming in deeper waters KR, former narc pig: I guess he’s come a long way since washington heights.  KB: Wait what? Washington Heights? KR: Back in the day, Simmons used to run the drug trade in washington heights KB’s mom worked there trying to get drugs off the streets. Dick coonan was into dope, smuggling in heroin in the finance CDs. 
We’ll have him in the box by lunch<3
Ooh I don’t much like him but I actually really like him. Good voice on the man too. Ooh he’s good. she would have been about 16 last time he was here.  his outfits <3  He explains the interrogation Beckett, excuse yourself hun. (Remember when beckett told royce not to feed the animals?) Wow she’s mad.  Wow! She is Strong! & I love the boys coming to help her.  The firm “Stand down” from Esposito, the soft “beckett that’s enough” from ryan (clipping this)
Yes. She is off that case. Good on you Captain. You go home <3 RM: You too, castle.   RC: What did I do? (I love how he’s wearing chill clothes btw.) RM: As of this moment, you two are running point on raglan’s homicide. (JE & KR stand up. JE looks to KR in concern & KR does the same.) JE: Uh, captain, my partner & I don’t wish to be insubordinate, KR: But we respectfully decline the assignment.  RM: What does it say on my badge? JE: Captain, RM: Now read the fine print. It says get your ass out there & solve raglan’s murder before I bust you both back down to traffic.  (clipping this) KR, softly: Yes sir. JE, relaxed: Yes sir. (btw esposito’s shirt is neat today. Different than what he usually wears I think.) RM: You want to help her? Find that shooter. Solve the dang case.
Martha <3 I always say that rick & alexis is like my mom & me but martha & rick are also mum & me.  MR: You can’t charm your way out of a bullet. Heavy: I have yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet. Finally, castle is admitting it out loud! He loves her!
JE & KR doing detective work: KR: like a briefcase JE: Everyone in that lobby is carrying a briefcase KR: You should be a detective. (clip or nah?)
He touched the card tho! Not necessarily, it’s saturday, barely afternoon! (should I clip “why can’t we do a live one?” or no? probs no) My question is tho, what if she was holding her arm or smth, what if she smudged it, what if she had, like I said, her arms crossed so there were HER fingerprints as well?
Castle is so sweet. At least she has an apartment. Plucky sidekick? RC: I sneak back into the station wearing a hat.  & nobody but her ever opens that window?
Mom died 12 years ago, they started this stuff 19 years ago, & she went thru this case 9 years ago. 
Lmao I love this gal! She dated this guy craig for two weeks! What is even going on? I love seeing esposito & ryan sit there tired & awkward. Then ryan comments, “unbelievable” & esposito looks at him & whispers “ryan!” like “don’t encourage her mate!” (hm... won’t clip) (or I will ig) but there was only one fingerprint? Now all fingers, not a whole hand? I’m kinda shocked that ryan thought this up, it seems like a castle thing.
Wait weren’t those pictures double exposure? They wouldn’t be that pretty, they would have two layers to them... RC: I’ll go KB: Somehow lets him??? With his hat & soft shoes?
Hal Lockwood! Male, white, 32. Would have been 14 during the time raglan mentioned. 20 when JB died.  So wait, Lockwood is in the fingerprint database but has no record? Oh wait he’s only existed for two years. He’s checked into a suite with his credit card. Holy moly! These folks have their guns! I see, that’s how they find his stuff. Bullets & pictures & stuff.  Pictures of Beckett.
Montgomery is so sweet, he went to her home to tell her. KB: Sir we’ve got to let castle know. RM: He already does. He’s back at the 12th, I caught him in the men’s room poking around some files. You want to tell me about that? Roy is so sweet.  (he says no) (Hm... won’t clip)
Esposito looks so tired.  Anti-anxieties! Special Forces background coming into play. Are ppl really that aware of their heartbeats? That is so cool tbh... Weird tho how some guys would just,, buy drugs.  & ryan’s narc time coming into play too. Pill logos.  (won’t clip but ooh I love this, ryan drug moments)
This kid looks like some random college student selling his own prescription amphetamines (lisdexamfetamine, dextroamphetamine, etc) for profit to college students who need to study.  God, the amphetamines you put on this earth for people to run 40km/h are being used to look at spreadsheets faster. (Also, ryan is not wearing a tie today & esposito has a nice shirt that I would wear.) Pseudophedrine: Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic drug of the phenethylamine and amphetamine chemical classes. It may be used as a nasal/sinus decongestant, as a stimulant, or as a wakefulness-promoting agent in higher doses. Wikipedia Triplicate prescriptions are usually done for drugs not to be sold commonly, stuff that you need to get filled within 3 days, hence triplicate.  CR: Those were just misunderstandings. I’m just a college student with my father’s lawyer on speed dial.  KR: Do you know why you’re here? CR, being a little b: No but I’m assuming it has something to do with class resentment. *turns to esposito* It must be a treat for you to interrogate above your station.  JE: *Smiles* KR: You’re here bc you sold these *holds up pills in bag* to him *holds up pic of lockwood* KR: But we’re not dope cops, Chad. These? We don’t care about. *pushes the bag to the side* Him? *moves it away from Chad’s reaching* KR: We want.  (this part was GOOD) (clipping for SURE) Oh, oh this part is also good. KR: Oh, chad, we’re not going to arrest you! [...] JE: I’m sure he’d love to meet a handsome young man of your station.  & the way that ryan is nodding his head along Where can they find some brooklyn blondie in her 30s? There are a million of em I swear!
KB: Go home RC: No <3 (meh won’t clip) Yes rick tell her that you care about her RC: Unless you count the chocolate one alexis gave me for my birthday I’m your plucky sidekick <3
Ok so in the alley where JB was killed, Bob Armen, an undercover FBI agent in the mafia was killed. The alley used to be a mob hangout.  Joe Pulgatti the mafia member pled guilty to killing Bob Armen.  Raglan was the arresting officer.  Pulgatti is in prison so they visited him, he pled guilty to get life instead of lethal injection.  Kidnapping went sideways. 3 guys in ski masks rolled up in a van to take Joe on a “tour of the city” & bobby went for one of their guns but ended up on the wrong side of it. (acab.) There was a truce between families bc pro kidnappers were nabbing guys from all five fams.  ghost crew Joe was in that alley but only him, bobby, & the kidnappers knew that.  How did raglan know? Raglan was a kidnapper.  Johanna was murdered there 7 years after JP’s incarceration.  (You look just like her, you know.) JB was the only one who wrote back to JP.  Joe, that’s most cops. Even if it is not, 10 people & 2 nazis makes 12 nazis. 
RM: We’ll talk about the definition of a direct order later. Beckett is pretty as always. (ryan no tie, I miss this, I’m so glad that s6 maybe s7 he starts undoing his ties) RC (NF) said “armand” not “armen” there.. Is esposito bisexual bc he’s wearing a shirt & a sweater & a jacket all layered Euh, knowing what happens later in the season is weird, I’m watching their facial expressions.  (girl imagine you’ve seen everything but s8) (What is going on with the file officer names tho? remember that.)
It’s like brackenreid. He put someone in jail bc they deserved to be in jail, but he put them in jail for the wrong thing.  & in some ways I agree with him, the law is not the be-all-end-all of what is right, but you’re a cop & you don’t get to make that choice.  (The broken mirror still there XD) Who? Somebody you’ll never touch?
You woke the dragon? What is going on? He is afraid of someone & it is not a cop. it really IS so much bigger than you realize
Love her nails, just the slightest painting of pink.  Set design update: backett is across from Wallis. To her right is Messina.
Found Jolene! But what if she was a young looking 41 or an old looking 29? You guys take Jolene Anders & we’ll take Granger. why don’t they show the pics to chad? Since I know how this goes I have to ask, what would happen if they switched? They took the wrong people.  (I love ryan’s jacket) Poor ryan, esposito never lets him drive.  & there’s lockwood, already watching them! He broke the law just there tho. He went into driving without using his signal light. I know he’s like a murderer or smth but I’m pissed about the traffic violation. 
Ok so Jolene Granger is dead. (meaning: why was He so concerned when rysposito visited the OTHER girl?) Yk I don’t like how everyone has guns everywhere, people should hash things out the old fashioned way: fists & feet. However: castle should be a private citizen who owns a gun. 
No is that a bomb? Is this the part with the gifs I’ve seen with the burning building?  I can’t tell who yelled “cover your ears” bc the boys have similar voices, at least when they are yelling like that. Probs esposito tho (Meh I don’t think I’ll clip)
Oh phew it’s a flashbang.  Tho, as someone who is already partially deaf, it has helped me to realize just how scary a flashbang is. You cannot rely on your ears when your eyes are out of commission, you cannot rely on your eyes when your ears are down... Plus, a flashbang is not just a flash & a bang, it is also a slap. It hits you physically, so if hellen keller was hit by a flashbang she would still notice the blast. Plus, flashbangs can get really hot. 
Girl when would you find a cell phone bill just sitting around in her house? She probably shredded it or put it in a secure documents folder. 
(These parts are already clipped on youtube, I probs don’t need to clip) I love how as soon as the bags are lifted, esposito starts trying to get out.  wdym u don’t know how they found your place? They were chasing Jolene. The wrong jolene even. Was it just coincidence they ended up in the same place that lockwood lived? Casually dumping bags of ice in, it reminds me of the princess bride.  Um b’y we don’t know much of anything.  Also, that is not a lot of ice compared to that much water. Esposito just looking around, seeing all the little things, noticing, trying to think his way out.  Respect? Ok bestie.  Oh holy crap the lighting, this is great. It puts the fear of god into their faces, mostly ryan’s.  Bud I notice he’s talking to esposito the most. One pro to another. Brain singular. I like how at least he promises a bullet to the head instead of lying about freedom.  Lockwood has surprisingly light eyes.  KR: *looks to esposito* JE: I have to go with option B (the torture option ig) KR: Oh yeah. We’re definitely going to jerk you around. (That’s the confidence I love.) btw when you have two options, you always have five. Apples or oranges? 1- apple, 2- orange, 3- both, 4- neither, 5- peaches. 
& smash cut to dunking this soaking wet man into water. & he struggles without even holding his breath? idk I’ve never been tortured like this. It was probably too fast for him to take a real breath so he accidentally inhaled some water so he had to breathe out to get rid of the water, which just so happened to also get rid of air. Again, idk, I’ve never been tortured.  Did he choose ryan bc esposito was the one looking around noticing things & trying to get up as soon as the hood was off? Did he choose ryan bc ryan made the jerk you around comment? Did he choose ryan bc he knew esposito had been trained in this?
Poor ryan, not only is he being tortured but his clothes are wet too. Dang they had to frickin tie esposito up sexual style bc he was too strong & would have broken out to save his partner by now KR, once he’s out of the water again: Listen ass-clown, I was in catholic school for 12 years. Hell they used to do this to me for talking in cla- *dunks him underwater* BRUH WHY IS THAT SO ACCURATE. (& I mean, the writers really missed an opportunity. If he was queer in catholic school, like me, then he has definitely experienced this kind of torture.) & this is almost as much torture for esposito as it is for ryan.  But like how much do the cops really know? Would you be giving away your hand if you told them? Except they would kill you right after so this is the only way to survive. 
So lockwood is here, he has someone holding back esposito, he has someone dunking ryan, & he has a guard out front. That is an amount of people.  Going to be cold/sick looking for a place to stay? Or drunk walking down the street, that works too.  I like how she keeps her tone of voice as if she’s drunk bc he might not be able to hear her words but he can hear the tones. Or maybe that’s a deaf person thing & other ppl don’t experience what I do. Oh finally they kiss! (def already clipped on yt)
Ah yes, sometimes they remove frames from action shots to make them appear faster. Why did she turn around tho? RC: That was amazing RC: The way you knocked him out (not the kiss teehee) Man the way he touched his face. I remember my first kiss. I could feel my lips tingling. I thought that was just in stories, I thought it was an exaggeration.
KR: *in the water* (gasp! in the water!) JE: OK! KR, now released: Don’t tell this jackhole anything! JE: Sorry bro, I can’t watch this.  JE: You’re too late.  JE: The cops already know all about me & your mom EYOOOOOO (that was SO good) (clipping at LEAST this little bit, bc surely there is other stuff on youtube, I’ve seen it before) KR: *laughing on the side*  (JE smiles over at him) HL: Shoot out one of his kneecaps BRO THAT’S A HECK OF A PUNISHMENT FOR A YO MAMA JOKE. & then this is where esposito starts fighting again. That’s the power of friendship. (the same kind of friendship historians talk about when two women live together & only have one bed.)
My momma has been through many an active shoter drill. Benefit of working at an airport. Plaster walls do nothing. 
Bro almost shot esposito when he went down! (too short to clip) Beckett would have been shot by now, esp if this guy is a sharpshooter.  Oh there we go. Now he’s taking his aim. Taking aim instead of shooting fast, I see the difference.  Castle just beating this guy up! Yeah bro! KB: You ok? RC: Huh? KB: *looks at the hand he has still balled into a fist* RC: Never better (clipping this)
Ok so now we’re seeing castle’s hand get wrapped up but nothing about mr I-just-got-choked-with-a-rope & mr I-just-got-repeatedly-thrust-into-an-ice-bath? Why does the paramedic tie it up then rick unties it?? Was it so beckett could tie it back up for him? Oh there it is: RC: How are ryan & esposito KB: Hm, mild hypothermia & wounded pride. Girl I think it would be a bit more than that. & in the psychological sense definitely not good. Hypothermia, probably some lungs-being-sad disease from possibly getting ice in there, bruising from being choked like a dog, hearing damage, ocular damage, & burns or bruises from the flash-bangs? KB: Guess which one will heal first? OMG THE FIRST “ALWAYS” I love rick’s little smile & his eyes like that. ^-^ (don’t need to clip)
Did any of lockwood’s accomplices survive?
Oh he is not legally hal lockwood!  it’s like I’m their favourite schoolteacher Reference back to the start! Like the ghosts that visit scrooge!
Beckett used to be a unique character with a pixie cut, then with emo midlength hair (well it was 2009 ish) but now she looks boring. Just like any other white woman on instagram. She is indistinguishable from Addison from quantam leap. They both are just So Nondescript! Let beckett be normal again! Let her be cool again! Let her have a unique hairstyle! (but ig in 2009 she was ALSO nondescript & had the same hair as everyone else)
Surprisingly not a lot of clips I want to get. I mean I want to clip everything so I used a filter but maybe that filter took too much.
