The Evermore Grimoire: Slayers

Xin Rohn was a Slayer active in China during the Boxer Rebellion who was killed by a vampire named Spike. In 1900's, the Whirlwind (a powerful group of vampires) were also in China; Spike would later state he was obsessed with Slayers, and sought Xin Rong out to fight her. She and Spike fought in a Buddhist temple, and Xin Rong managed to give him a permanent scar over his left eyebrow with her sword. Highly skilled in armed combat, the Slayer had the vampire pinned up against a wall, ready to stake him, but an explosion outside the temple rocked the building and she lost control of the situation. Spike was able to knock her stake from her hand, catch her, and bite her neck. When Buffy Summers questioned him how he killed Xin Rong, he explained: "Lesson the first: a Slayer must always reach for her weapon. I've already got mine." Xin Rong's last dying words were, in Mandarin: "Tell my mother I'm sorry." to which Spike replied: "Sorry love, I don't speak Chinese." He threw her to the ground and left her body in the temple, having killed the first of two Slayers that would give him notoriety as a Slayer hunter.

Hii, when are you uploading your next art? It's been like ages lol. Also how's your progress on manga going? And can you suggest some other artists you know, artists like you? Since you also started from 0 followers at some point and your progress on your art is also very inspiring and i guess you know many different artists. I'm searching for inspiration and looking for some Low key artists from other fandoms. I'm slowing trying to improve on my digital painting skills. Still at level 1. Who do you look up to for your inspiration? Sorry, this became a pretty big ask hehe.

Hi~ 💕

Ages? Yeah, ... a little over a month now. I know that because I keep track on it. I pretty much keep track on most things. I do this thing where I plan a few weeks ahead and it is supposed to make sure I have more time left because of the planning but it doesn't account for roadblocks such as wrist pain, technical issues with tablets etc-, mental states, stress, health declines or others. So.. I haven't uploaded anything in a while but I never stopped creating ^^! In fact, I'm learning every single day so that I can create more, "better" (subjective) and build a skill-set that will help me be able to make what I want. I felt like I was making art aimlessly, but having a goal helps. Though, by chance, since you're wondering- this week for sure!

And within that planning is of course the Manga! The process is a lot of fun, but also there is science behind Storytelling and I'm using what I know and learning during my graduation process as well in order to create it. That's why I didn't start drawing until I am completely happy with the story (...and now don't mind so much that my previous draft got lost even thought that was so painful lol). I was so ignorant about it though, thinking I could just... create a Manga. Like c'mon. I knew so much time and dedication went into it and yet I thought I could just... do it 😆 but also, it is this dedication that made me able to do most crazy things in life so why not. If I'm going to spend idk how many hours on this then it better matter to me. I don't want Naruto and Sasuke to just drown in some plot, I want them to actively pursue something they care about and struggle, have dark moments and conflicts... heh.

When I first started drawing.. surprisingly I didn't have that many inspirations. I had no clue what I was doing and so what inspired me was the little art-community around me on Instagram because our goals were similar. My goal to finish Inktober, a wish to "someday create a webtoon" and seeing artists around me upload their art was what inspired me. Then, talking about art, each other's uploads, our obsessions- it was all a lot of fun and helped me improve and so did they! Of course you don't have to go there, you can find artists at any stage of their journey anywhere but really try to find artists and art that you like because your style will grow from that and eventually become your own.

I guess a few artists really stood out to me then, but they're literal gods and nothing like me 🥹..they're; wlop, Z ed, Ruan Jia, Zeen Chin, Guweiz and Dao Tong Le. I had a splash art phase where I fangirl'd (still do) so hard over Bo Chen, Sean Tay, Alex Flores, Cheng Du (crow god), Foritis Wang, but there's also Paul Nong, Ley Bowen, Inhyuk Lee... and for storytelling art there's Kan Liu which art I love and Toni Infante and ooooh Astri Lohne's brushwork is amazing as well. Song Nan Li has a few artworks that I've stared at for days and would love to study someday. Jaz Chiang too. Krenz Cushart has a course that I want to purchase because those colors are sublime... and oh, I'm probably forgetting SO MANY right now but I could go on forever tbh. Lemme talk about artists and their art and I won't be able to stop. There have been many Instagram artists that I've followed but I'm not currently active on there until I graduate so I don't really remember but if you're looking for Twitter/SNS/Naruto specifically then you can look through my following-list or my reblog account here @re-tamelee. Nsfw-warning on Twitter (@ tam_e_lee) though. I think currently a few that inspire me regarding story/expression are helenpeanut, velinxi, Kishimoto, Ramón Nuñez, Moryo, Ryo Yambe, Rias Coast, Yusuke Matsumoto, Bengal, Hong Soonsang, Horikoshi- and still a few others... I'm not sure what you mean by 'low-key' or if this is not what you're looking for but I hope you can find some inspiration from this post and have fun looking at these amazing artists' art! ^^ Thankyou for your lovely ask, have a nice day 🌷 Happy drawing!

Description: “NCIS History-Special Agent Vietnam is a comprehensive account of naval counterintelligence and criminal investigations in Vietnam. Doug Hubbard's first-hand experience provides unique insights into this little explored topic of the war, and the addition of a broad spectrum of his photos complements the narrative with a real life appeal. In an era when the term "terrorism" was not yet in vogue, NIS' investigations of insurgent attacks against US troops is a grim reminder of current threats our military faces in Afghanistan and around the globe on a daily basis.” Michael Sulick, Former Director, CIA National Clandestine Service “Although the Viet Nam War gives up its secrets grudgingly, former special agent Douglass Hubbard unveils an intriguing account of U.S. Naval Intelligence operations in the Republic of Vietnam. Drawing on his three years’ service in Vietnam and his subsequent research and interviews, Hubbard weaves a masterful story with 'NCIS History Special Agent Vietnam' that is equally inspiring and frustrating-just as the war itself proved to be.” Colonel Joseph H. Alexander, USMC. (Ret.) author of the Battle History of the U.S. Marines “Doug Hubbard Jr. explores the seamy underside of the Vietnam War from his ‘catbird seat’ as a special agent of the Naval Investigative Service. At the most there were never more than twenty-one of these Naval Intelligence officers serving in-country, and they had to deal with an overload of such unsavory matters as counter espionage, sabotage, black marketing, currency manipulation, simple theft, drug trafficking, subversion, rape, and murder. Sometimes these investigations came to a brilliant resolution that Sherlock Holmes would have applauded. More often they foundered because of command apathy or indifference.” Brigadier General Edwin H. Simmons, USMC, Chief of Staff of the First Marine Division in 1970, former head of the Marine Corps History Branch, and author of Frozen Chosin: US Marines at the Changjin Reservoir “Doug Hubbard’s exposition with NCIS History Special Agent Vietnam defines a period of counterintelligence development in the Vietnam conflict and records its events for the first time. Compiled personal recollections of wartime special agents make this historical narrative a defining work in the legacy left by the group of Naval Intelligence professionals who devised rules for counterintelligence and force protection in the challenging and dangerous arena of Vietnam in the 1960s. Theirs was a monumental contribution to the U.S. government’s efforts to achieve stability in the Republic of Vietnam, particularly in the early days of the mission when much was accomplished by a select few.” Maynard C. Anderson, former Assistant Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Security Policy

Review - It was a decent book with a lot of historical information on the Vietnam War and NIS's members. The main problem with the book was how light it was on actual cases vs pages and pages of commentary of who was assigned when and where. Another major issue were the multiple misspellings (Viet Congo is a common one) and repeated paragraphs. It's not unreadable, but it had issues. But for the historical information, and a few insights into deserters, fraggings, and a few interesting cases, it's worth a read.

Princess Mononoke - Created by Paul Nong

[seyne93]

22 July 2022

Sobrang saya ko today kasi ang tahimik sa office. Naka-leave sina boss PGP, Ms. Vangie, Sir Nikko, sir Kiko, at Ms. Shai.

Wala akong naririnig na maingay na keyboard at telepono. Walang pressure, although oks lang sana kahit andon si boss, siya kaya nagpapalighten ng atmosphere kahit super stressful ng environment.

Ang pumasok lang ay kami nila Ms Che, Ms Jen, Ms Myra, Ms Jai, at ni Atty. Paul xD.

Ang daming nangyari kahapon mula sa pagpasok ko pa lang. HAHAHAHA

Nagtry ako magcommute thru mrt. Mas mura nga yung pamasahe, pagdating naman sa ayala station ay wala namang masakyan paderetso sa office, kaya napilitan akong magmove it.

ito ang pinakasabaw na highlight ng umaga ko. Sumakay ako ng motor, di naman ako marunong bumaba. Muntik kaming matumba dahil sa clumsiness ko!!! Tapos nagbayad ako kay kuya, umalis na ako, pero tinawag niya ako kasi suot ko pa yung helmet. HAHAHAHA BADTRIP!!! TINAWANAN PA AKO. Nagsorry ako sa kanya pero sabi niya okay naman kaya ayon, umalis akong hiyang-hiya kay kuya. xD

Pagdating ko sa office, andon na sina Ms Che at Ms Myra inaasikaso na mga workloads nila. HSAHASHAAH kinwento ko tuloy yung mga nangyari nong umaga. HAHAHAHA badtrip

Tapos maya-maya dumating na si ms jen, eh nagtitimpla ako ng kape non. Nasabi niya na ang aga raw namin xD sabi ko "iwas traffic po"

Tapos yon, nagchat na yung iba na maglileave sila, inabangan ko kung maglileave din si Atty. HAHAHAHA siya lang naman binabantayan ko don bukod kay boss at sa workloads. Masaya ako nong makitang may umupo sa tapat ng cubicle ko. :)) Pero siyempre di ko pinahalata na masaya akong dumating siya HAHAHAHA

Ayon, eh di nagwork work work na, maya-maya may kumatok sa pinto, wala si Elma (intern) kaya ako yung naging taga-bukas ng pinto xD may tatlong chinese na may dalang maleta yung bumungad sa akin, hinahanap si atty Che. Nagulat nga ako na bigla silang pumasok kiahit di ko sila pinapapasok. Natawa ako sa mga reaksyon ng mga kasama ko eh xD biglang napatanga tapos napasuot ng facemask HAHAHAHA Si ms Jen na humarap sa amin xD. Tapos sinamahan niya yung mga chinese papunta sa floor kung nasaan office ni atty.

Naiwan kaming nagtatawanan don sa department namin, kasi nabigla kaming lahat, lalo na ako, ako nagbukas nung pinto eh xD badtrip, di namin alam sasabihin or kung paano iaaccompany. Nasa kalagitnaan kami ng kanya kanya naming mga ginagawa tapos biglang ganon xD

Pagbalik naman ni Ms. Jen, inorient niya kami kung ano yung mga basic etiquette na dapat naming gawin if ever na mangyari ulit yon. Tapos nagrarant na siya tungkol don sa receptionist sa taas xD hindi raw hospitable chuchu, tawa lang kami/ako nang tawa jusko.

Tapos ayon, nagfocus na lang ako sa task na binaba ni boss sa akin kahapon, tungkol sa transfer of common areas.

Maya't maya may kumakatok, yung last na pinagbuksan ko, magpapanotary sana from cbti, so i turned to them (ms che) tapos I asked them kung sino magnonotary. "Papanotary raw po sa cbti?"

Tapos di ko naman tinatanong si Atty. Paul, sumagot siya tapos mas malakas pa boses niya kesa kay miss che na talagang tinatanong ko. Sina ms jai at ms myra nga didn't bother to answer. Haixt nakakahalata na ako ah xD HAHAHAHA CHZ

Tapos yon, maya-maya, may tumawag sa local phone namin ni ms che. Nagtuturuan pa kami kung sino sasagot, kasi marami na siyang ginagawa. Ang ending, ako na sumagot. Yung client/caller hinahanap ung atty. Paul. sabi ko "Attorney paul po?" Tapos tumingin ako kay Ms. Che, nakangiti siya kasi parang kilala niya kung sino tinutukoy. Eh di tinransfer niya agad sa local nila Paul tapos kinausap na rin ni Paul.

Nag-usap kami ni Ms Che, kasi nakita niya yata na nagtaka ako kung bakit attorney siya. Sabi ko pa nga "Attorney na po siya?" Natawa siya tapos sabi niya "Hindi, para safe lang kaya ganon tawag sa kanya, diba kasi sa legal department puro attorney ang nandoon dapat. Yung department natin which is tax and yung legal ay parang iisa lang kaya atty tawag sa kanya"

Tapos namention ko rin na di ko pa kabisado yung mga local numbers per cubicle sa department namin. Kasi nga nagtransfer ng call doon kay Paul, tapos sabi ko kay ms che "Itatransfer ko po sa anong number?" Tapos sabi niya "105 kapag kila paul" Tapos siya na pumindot sa phone, eh di kinausap na ni paul kung sino mang tumawag, tapos napag-usapan namin nga na di ko pa kabsiado locals. Sabi ko "Ang alam ko lang ay yung atin 211 po diba?" tapos sabi ni ms che, "211 ba?" tinignan niya rin don sa listahan kasi di siya sure, tapos nagsalita si paul "oo 211 tama, galing" HAHAHAHAHA BADTRIP akalain mo yon nag-effort pa siyang tumingin don sa list para lang iconfirm na tama ako. Kung si Sir Nikko yon wala pakeelam yon eh xD HAHAHAHA EWAN KO BAT KINIKILIG AKO, nagsabi rin naman si ms che na ang galing galing raw, pero iba impact pag si paul nagsabi. Sobrang harot ko omg HSAHASHAHAH de akala ko kasi tahimik yon, masaya lang ako na nakiki fc siya sa akin.

Maya-maya, nagsalita na naman si Paul, sabi niya "Nagstart yan dahil doon sa PEZA" Biglang nag-explain eh di ko naman tinatanong. HAHAHAHAHA fc yarn? xD Tapos nagsalita rin si Ms. Che, Tapos kinakausap ko ulit si Miss che (siyempre di ko naman kasi nakikita si paul HAHA) Sabi ko "Akala ko nga mali lang ako ng pagkakarinig, Akala ko si Attorney Po, Pero Attorney Paul. sabi ko, may iba bang attorney dito?" HAHAHA tapos sumabat na naman tong si Paul, tumawa siya tapos sabi niya "Magkatunog ba?" Sabi ko "Haha slight"

Tapos yon bumalik na naman kami sa mga gawain. Unlike nong mga past days, natitignan ko na siya, hindi na lang side glances. HAHAHAHA haixt cutie cutie kaya niya, tapos maya't-maya pa siya nagpupunta doon sa pantry para kumain. Tapos one time nga, dahil absent si elma, umupo siya don sa tabi ko habang naghihintay ng print. May printer naman don sa likod niya, doon pa nagprint kina miss myra. Crush niya siguro yon? xD HAHAHAHAHA

Tapos nung pauwi na, palabas na si ms Jen kaso nakita niya ako. sabi niya "Uy Keysi, may dapat ba tayong pag-usapan?"

Kinabahan ako kasi akala ko may issue ako. Sabi ko "Po?"

MJ: May dapat ba tayong pag-usapan, I mean okay ka lang ba, kumusta ba yung mga pinagagawa sa iyo? Naiistress ka ba or napepressure

Tapos sabi ko na okay lang ako, na yung stress na nararamdaman ko wala pa sa stress na nararamdaman nila. Napareact nga si paul don HSAHASHASHA tapos si ms che naman sinabi niya na valid daw yung stress ko kahit na bago pa lang ako, kasi given naman daw na mahirap talaga.

Tapos ang dami ko rin nakuhang assurance kay Ms Jen kahit wala naman akong hinihingi, parang kinausap niya lang ako at kinumusta ganon. Masaya ako na ganon sila, based on past expiriences din sa mga nakasama nila dati, bigla na lang sumasabog.

Ayon tapos umalis na si ms jen, biglang tumayo si Paul, sabi niya "Dapat nagsawadika ka" Tapos nag bow bow pa siya. Natawa ako tapos lahat na ng greetings at thanks you na ibang language kahit hindi naman thank you ang meaning ay sinabi na niya. HAHAHAHA BOSET tapos inaact niya pa talaga with matching bow and hands. Kulit eh HSAHASHASHA tapos yun, nung paalis na ako, nagsabi ulit siya ng ingat kagaya nung sa elevator.

Masaya lang ako dahil ang dami lang nangyari at ang dami rin namin interactions today. <3

Description: 

  The leader of one of the most successful U. S. Marine long range reconnaissance teams during the Vietnam War, Andrew Finlayson recounts his team's experiences in the year leading up to the Tet Offensive of 1968. Using primary sources, such as Marine Corps unit histories and his own weekly letters home, he presents a highly personal account of the dangerous missions conducted by this team of young Marines as they searched for North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong units in such dangerous locales as Elephant Valley, the Enchanted Forest, Charlie Ridge, Happy Valley and the Que Son Mountains.   In numerous close contacts with the enemy, the team (code-name Killer Kane) fights for its survival against desperate odds, narrowly escaping death time and again. The book gives vivid descriptions of the life of recon Marines when they are not on patrol, the beauty of the landscape they traverse, and several of the author's Vietnamese friends. It also explains in detail the preparations for, and the conduct of, a successful long range reconnaissance patrol.

Review: 

Finlayson has a very particular point of view on the war, and warfare. Throughout the book, he is constantly made aware that his actions and behaviors are both dangerous and obsessive. Yet, even though he acknowledges it, and says he takes it to heart, he still has the narcissistic bent to ignore them and feel that his way is the right way. 

That’s both a positive and a negative.

His teams brought the war to the enemy and were immensely productive as far as kills and intelligence gathered. At the same time, they were in many ways reckless and dangerous. 

God loves a fool and who dares wins are basically how he operates.

Overall though, the book gives you great insight into HIS way of running recon teams, and how Team Killer Kane/Swift Scout operated, the gear they took, the places they operated in, and who the people were. His writing style is quick paced and gives you a good sense of his thoughts and emotions and allows you to understand where his head was at and what he experienced.

While there were a few errors, especially in regards to keeping track of a persons rank (one page they’re corporal, next they’re a sergeant), and the weapons (carrying my m-14, and had 5 magazines of 5.56mm), the book is well done.
