today my newest niece is turning a year old, and it just reminds me of how grrm's math problem includes never learning that your first year of life is from your literal birthday to turning 1yo. there's a whole year of 0-1yo. so when agot opens with bran saying it's the tenth year of summer and the seventh of his life he's wrong, bc bran is already 7yo going on 8, not 6 waiting to turn 7 as he would be in his actual seventh year. and it's not a little kid's in-world miscount, it's def the author's own error bc later we're repeatedly told from different sources that jaime was knighted and named to the kg in his fifteenth year, which is also wrong since jaime was already 15, not 14 turning 15. and to think there are people out there trying the impossible task of making asoiaf timelines, even accounting for travel times, for a series where wildling arrows can reach the top of a 700ft wall and the hound carried away 100,000 gold coins in tourney winnings and the author is unaware of the concept of a year 0.

Ohhh i remember Worcestershire anon, they were also the one who hinted hagrry would stunt in italy over summer before it actually happened??? lmaoo yeah def not PR if they could say that 💀 now that was someone with actual tea to spill here i think they even came back to say they would stunt in italy again in Dec but it wouldnt be same and as annoying as summer which was true once again i never doubted them.
I dont remember what blog WS anon was on but if anyone else does can you say if they have been back lately to say anything regarding the stunt? Please share if so (but dont add the blog name we dont need people to hound and scare them away) 😄

About that ask & the number of volume, I def could see it be around 15/20 volumes because well. We still have the vacuo arc to go through and the inevitable return to a destroyed beacon near the series climax (this show is a lot about cycles, I bet they’ll go back to beacon at some point) and considering how things are going now that’d still take quite a few volumes.
Also regarding a twist/the situation changing between salem & rwby I feel like that’s coming very soon with the latest hound reveal. Cause now things are starting to be worse, and if there’s anything behind salem doing *something* to summer, then we bring the conflict from a more impersonal “salem is evil and we have to stop her” to a much personal one. I feel like introducing the concept of human/Grimm hybridization opens the door for a possible twist of things being much worse than they think.
(Sorry for rambling so much in your ask box, I have Feelings about this show and nowhere to air them really, and I find your thoughts on it fascinating to read)
no no i think you’re right! i do think that there’s a little more to it than just (””just”” as if i didn’t also freak out) human grimm. an excellent midpoint reversal is the end of goblet of fire: instead of voldemort being mostly dead, sometimes there around exam season, voldemort is ALIVE and KILLING PEOPLE and RIGHT THERE. instead of dumbledore and harry having plenty of time to let harry grow up, they’re out of time and all of a sudden the stakes are much, much higher.
we did have something similar at the end of v3 but it’s too early for a midpoint anything. which is uh...concerning. because now they need to outdo v3. horror. no fear -> bigger reveal than salem -> 1 fear

Hi! I hope you're having a good weekend so far!! ❤💖 I was just wondering what you think some of the UA teachers weird hidden talents would be! (Maybe just Toshinori, Aizawa and Hizashi if it's more convenient) Also I saw in your info that you're vegan, and I am too! We can swap recipes if you'd ever like some ideas!
OO omg I really liked this ask thanks for sending it in! I love funny useless talents so I did some extras because they are super fun to write! Also, ur pfp is so cute and funny and aw I’d def love to swap recipes sometime thank you!! Hc’s Under the cut! (lightly based off my friend group and our weird useless talents hehe)
Toshinori- He’s really good at checkers, the only person who can ever beat him is Nezu (and he said it was actually sort of a challenge), no one knows where this talent came from, it seems like one of the last things he’d be good at but he is, he’s even beaten Aizawa before. He’ll let you think you’re winning in the first half and then come through with some insane like quadruple jump, and beat you within 3-4 moves. Sometimes he’ll visit the students in their dorms and they all ask him to play every time. He likes playing Ochaco the most, she’s always so impressed with him winning so quickly that she doesn’t even notice all their matches play out exactly the same way every time. All that being said, he doesn’t really like chess and he’s not very good at it either. Once, Todoroki invited him to play a match, he knew he would lose so about five moves from his clear loss he started bouncing his legs to shake the table, said ‘oh no I think we’re getting an earthquake!’ and flipped the whole thing over. It was one of the first times he’s really seen Todoroki laugh let alone be the cause of it, and it’s in his top 5 proudest teacher moments.  Hizashi- He is Super double-jointed, uses it to gross Aizawa and Nemuri out all the time, it really makes Toshinori squirm the worst though. It’s in his elbows, shoulders, all of it, he’s just a twisty man. He can even do that weird thing where you just bend the tips of your fingers (Cementoss hates that most of all). He can also roll his tongue in all sorts of weird ways, if everyone is in the teachers’ lounge and no one pays attention to him for long enough he’ll contort into some weird shape that makes poor Toshinori so queasy he has to go for a walk. One time Bakugou and Denki walked in on him trying to gross out Aizawa and while Denki freaked out and fully thought Mic was possessed by a poltergeist or something, Bakugou had thought the two had gotten in some sort of fight that resulted in Aizawa breaking like half his English teacher’s bones. Bakugou for some unknown reason got very offended on Mic’s behalf and challenged Aizawa to a fight. Mic is still incredibly honored at how willing Katsuki was to take Eraser on for him. 
Aizawa- He can juggle, no one knows when, where, or how he learned but he’s insanely good at it. Like I’m talking 6-10 irregularly shaped objects while balancing on a rolly chair kind of good. He only did that once though, and he’ll never do it again. The only person who saw was Hizashi, he challenged Aizawa to it on his birthday while they were alone in the lounge and begged Aizawa to do it as his present, eventually, Aizawa relented and told him not to expect an actual gift from him (he still got two one). Hizashi told everyone about it and the staff is split 50/50 if they believe him or not. His only regret is not taking a photo. Sometimes Nemuri will leave 3-4 round objects on or around his workspace to see if he’ll start juggling them if he gets bored or fidgety. Aizawa notices and starts to yell at everyone, ‘do I look like a circus monkey to you?? I’m not here for your entertainment. Go read a book or something.’ Though it’s good for impressing kids (ie: Eri and Hitoshi). The only 1-A student to witness it so far is Kirishima and it was, in fact, to cheer him up (but Aizawa will never admit that). 
Nemuri- She’s amazing at Pig Latin and those other gibberish languages (Pigeon confuses people the most and it’s her favorite). The only people on the staff who understand her are Hizashi and Nezu and she had to spend hours teaching it to Hizashi. To say it pisses Hound Dog off when they do it would be the understatement of the year. The first time they did it in front of Toshinori he thought Nemuri was having a stroke and he called recovery girl. They’re using it one day in the halls and Mina runs over and joins their conversation perfectly. Denki also thought she was having some sort of stroke. Sometimes to piss the other students off Hizashi and Nemuri will give her some answers to classwork in pigeon and tell the other students it pays to be multilingual and they should try it sometime. Bakugou learns it because he’s pissed off, but won’t talk because he thinks it sounds stupid. Both Mina and Nemuri have explained it to Denki about 400 times but he can’t even understand them when they talk slow. Hizashi taught Iida because he thought it would be funny (he was right). Aizawa hates them for this. 
Sekijiro Kan (Vlad King)- Can stick so many metal spoons on his face. It just started with one, on his nose. He and Aizawa were bored one year at the summer training camp grading some work. He thought he’d just stick one on his nose for the sake of getting a chuckle and scoff out of Aizawa, this was before security got so tight and so the other pro’s made appearances too. Hizashi walked by, seemingly tired and uninterested, but then returned with a pile of spoons. The got all the way up to 10 once. (He fell asleep on a bus ride once and 1-B claims to have broken the record with 11 but there is no photo evidence of this “How didn’t you wake up?? We were being so loud!” “I dunno Kendo I guess I’m just a really deep sleeper.” He totally woke up but they seemed like they were having fun so he pretended to stay asleep so they could keep going. )
Ryo Inui (Hound Dog)- He can roller skate, don’t ask when, where or why he learned, he won’t tell you. He’s very good at it though.

Rewatch of 2x01 GoT
Joffrey was indeed a lil bitch and poor sansa too, lil bird aint seen nothing yet.
I HATE THIS SCENE. FUCKING FORGOT ABOUT HOW MUCH I HATE THIS SCENE. WITH THE DUDE AND THE WINE.
Okay, i def dont remember the hound defending sansa that early.
LMAO. MYRCELLA AND TOMMEN IMPOSTERS.
Tyrions wig still ugly af.
Im loyal to my beloved Joffrey. L m a o. Dan Weiss and David Benihoff are the most brilliant writers. The irony.
They deadass declared the summer over in s2??? Forgot that bit.
Ahhh, Janos Slynt.
The peasants belong in a field, not our Capitol. Said cersei. Woooow, s8 was a doozy
Was Tyrion whistling Rains of Castamere for a hot second there???
Callout to haunting the family for a generation for killing Ned.
I would just like to say for a moment that cersei is so underappreciated as a character. I hate her. So much. But Lena Headey is honestly amazing and she really is amazing as Cersei.
Was Bran always able to warg?? Wild. Also, when Hodor carried Bran on his back, Hodor looks like a teenage mutant ninja turtle, lmao.
The comet thing was weird. It meant so many things, technically. Lannisters Would Rule all the 7 kingdoms, robb would do great in battle, ned starks death, and dragons. So. Much. Symbolism.
Lmao. Nobody will take my dragons. Sure. Sure. She jesus starving in the desert. Craster is fucking disgusting.
LOOK AT LITTLE GILLY. G I L L Y.
Mellisandre young AF. And Davos looking SUPER young.
THJS DUDE HUST BIT THE DUST. Mellisandre has many powers.
Jaime really so fucking snarky and i love it. Also he looks damn good with a beard. Robb was naive, but he got that BDE.
I remember why I liked Shae. I do...but then i remember that bitch ass. And i just. Big oof.
OOH. THE POWER IS POWER SCENE LOVE.
and im just gonna pause to appreciate cersei and littlefinger. Like they were both so well crafted.
A v good scene and Lena Headey is AMAZING. also, a big shout out to the rains of castamere playing in the back. the music has and will always be, amazing.
Joffrey js an asshat and an idiot.
HE DESERVED THAT SLAP.
what yall think. Did joffrey know he was born of incest?
Apparently he aint fond of roberts bastards. Lmao. I do love seeing Ros thriving tho.
-fin.-

AU where Nymeria didn't come soon enough and Joffrey maimed (murdered?) Arya. What would've happened? How do you think the story would proceed?
well this ask is sure a punch to the gut so thanks for that.
but after that initial punch, i had fun with this.  my goal was to keep major strokes of the plot largely the same but to justify them with different characterizations that precipitate from this different scenario.  
this is also long bc i had fun so i’m putting it under a cut
trident:
arya: 
first thing’s first--i’m not killing arya.  sorry will not will never.
so let’s assume some maiming of some sort.  joffrey’s got live steel and is swinging it, so my guess is he’d hit either her arm or her abdomen.  
if abdoment, i’m going to assume a not deep strike/miraculously misses internal organs swipe--but one that bleeds a lot and one also that takes a while to recover from.  
if arm or leg, there’s going to be muscle damage depending on where he strikes. in any case--how that would affect her permanently i’m not sure.
ned: 
look ned was super fucked up by arya’s disappeareance to begin with after she fled the scene, my guess is he’s going to be even more fucked up by the fact of her being physically attacked.  can you imagine arya being brought back somehow covered in blood and the lyanna flashbacks he would have been having?  (especially if, given that arya disappeared for several days in canon, he may have already have been having lyanna flashbacks).  he’s really not going to be ok with any of this.  
while he can’t call for anything bad to happen to joffrey, i wouldn’t be surprised, actually, if he told robert he wouldn’t be hand, and then had robert cajole him back into it; i think he would likely break sansa’s betrothal to joffrey as well, or at least say that he was considering breaking it pending joffrey’s further behavior.  i think he’d want to believe that “children fight” but i don’t think he’d be willing to accept that “children fighting” = joffrey turning live steel on his daughter.
if they continue to king’s landing, my guess is that guilt would wrack him a whole heck of a lot.  if they turn back north, it’d probably be the same.  ned carries guilt really intensely.  for the sake of this au, i think they continue on south.
sansa:
sansa’s whole drunken experience on the banks of the trident is already 12 times of overwhelm for her.  agot sansa--and agot-sansa-i-sansa which oh hey here she is!--especially is someone who does everything she can to believe that things are good, right, fair, just, perfect, etc.  so there are two options for her witnessing joffrey swing and hit her sister with a sword:
blame arya for it--if she hadn’t gotten in the way and had just come to the wheelhouse with sansa the way sansa had wanted everything would have been fine.  
be immediately disillusioned by joffrey--seeing him for the cruel boy he is.
i lied there’s a third option which is some combination of the two but
i, personally, am leaning option 2 laced with option 3 but really more option 2 than anything else: why? because lady’s still alive coming out of all this since it was nymeria who attacked joffrey and if nymeria didn’t attack joffrey both wolves get to stick around.  since so much of the lady’s death symbolism is connected with the way that sansa engages with the truth and reality (among other things) but if lady’s alive that is a literal game changer for like all of sansa’s characterization. i def think it’s gonna be a “dragged kicking and screaming” kind of thing for sansa (see: secret option 3 maybe transitioning towards option 2), but i think it’s a major shock to the system: her perfect prince almost killed her sister because she tried to get him not to beat someone up.  like imagine nymeria snuggling and being all protective of sickbed arya the way that summer is of bran, and lady keeping them company because pack!!!!!! and suddenly you’re going to have a very different world experience for sansa within a game of thrones because her wolf is choosing her pack for her and is not being severed from her symbolically or literally. that’s a big deal.
let’s say that sansa’s betrothal is on hold.  let’s also remember that both lady and nymeria are alive and still with the party at hand.
lannisters/baratheons of a lannister vibe: 
my guess is that cersei’s furious with ned to begin with and believes whatever it is that joffrey tells her.  
i think joffrey, knowing he’s in deep shit, lies, and does a lot of blaming of arya, saying his same story that she and mycah set upon him with clubs.  i think he sticks to this story.  
because of this it’s likely that mycah is killed still.  which means that arya’s likely going to still blame herself for the whole situation; the difference is that i think that she’s more likely to get support from sansa out of this because lady’s alive and a lot of sansa’s lash-out was about lady’s death.
i bet nymeria’s not thrilled with joffrey, but stays close to arya (playing more defense) and i bet lady growls every time he lies and, as septa mordane points out, sansa’s “as willfull...as arya” when it comes to lady.  and while i do think she may well play that “i don’t remember everything happened so fast” card when people ask her what happened, i think that 1) ned being livid and potentially freezing her betrothal to joffrey and 2) lady growling all the time will keep the situation real for her.
but i think that there’s still a lotttt of love lost between lannisters & starks heading into king’s landing.  it’s got a different flavor to it.
king’s landing (and beyond):
ned:
i think, for the most part, ned’s political actions and moves are going to be similar.  he’s going to have a lot more open hostility for lannisters earlier on, but is also going to need to play it cool.  he’s also going to be tetchier with robert sooner (which may mean no hand’s tourney? since robert doesn’t want to alienate him and ned can really push down on that “your son attacked my daughter” thing.)  i think he is likely going to follow littlefinger down the road to hell as he does in agot, and is likely going to rat himself out to cersei, and is going to get iced.  i don’t think this will change in its grander arc though details of it will change.  the nature of his need to comfort arya will be different because nymeria will be there and she’ll be recovering from injury.  syrio might be more of an active “self defense for the daughter” and less a “welp my dad was a dick to lyanna so i guess i won’t be a dick to you and get you a teacher” move.
sansa: 
i think things will be rocky with joffrey for always.  i mean they’re rocky in sansa ii (when the hound walks her back and freaks her out; this might not happen in this au bc chances are lady’s enough of a guard for sansa, if the tourney happens which as i said maybe it doesn’t), but i think sansa’s wary of him because she has seen his violence and has had to live with the ramifications of it rather than being able to compartmentalize them away and blame arya for lady’s death.  i think it takes a long time (as mentioned above) for her to wrap her head around this, but it’s a very intense “life is not a song” thing for her earlier than it happens in canon.  my guess is that, rather than getting meaner to arya as time progresses as she does in agot, she’ll get easier with arya.  if life’s not a song, then she’s not “a lady in a song” at least not the way she thought she was at the start of the series and--lbr here--i think the fact that lady and nymeria are both present is going to drastically change the way that they engage because even if arya and sansa argue--which they will.  as i said this characterization is different but that doesn’t mean that what we started with goes out the window--the wolves are pack and i think that’s an odd point of clarity for both of them amidst the “wtf is going on” that is 1) king’s landing and 2) pre-pubescence on sansa’s part coupled with the privilege she has of being the elder sister and the conventionally beautiful one.
i think that “shit hits the fan” moment is going to be different for sansa’s character more than for what happens.  i don’t think she nec goes and tells on ned when he says he’s sending the girls north; this doesn’t change anything.  she and jeyne are held hostage; jeyne is sold to littlefinger; sansa has lady with her.
i hate saying this: i think lady isn’t going to survive king’s landing.  there’s no fucking way she doesn’t attack anyone who tries to hurt sansa, even if she’s the most docile wolf, and i think the first time she tries it ends her life.  this, like ned’s death, is going to be deeply traumatic for sansa, esp if wolf-dreams began happening for sansa.  
to me, the timing and the  nature of that death for lady is everything.  lady being killed in defense of sansa, rather than as collateral damage for something she didn’t do changes both sansa’s relationship with her death (ie she’s gonna hate lannisters even more intensely than she already did, and it’s going to be unequivocal, rather than her periodically blaming arya for it) and the symbolic nature of it.  it’s not ned giving lady a northern death, and changing drasitcally the nature of sansa’s connection with the north and with her stark identity--it’s reinforcing i think, given everything that’s going on.  they killed her daddy, they killed her wolf (and lbr here preliminary wolf-dreams are likely here which means ugh with lady dying), joffrey attacked arya, this is bad news bears.  i think she’s terrified of all this, but i think lady has a deeper influence (and she already has a deep one tbh) on sansa and rolling forward i think that just changes the nature of her growth.
this puts sansa’s situation--if not her characterization--back in line with canon.
arya:
first of all hi please imagine arya carrying needle with her always instead of keeping it hidden in her room because she’s scared but doesn’t want to be scared so she keeps needle with her because it reminds her of jon and if she has needle and nymeria she won’t be afraid.
because getting maimed with live steel will make her frightened but she’s determined not to be frightened but, being 9, she is frightened.
she throws herself into her syrio lessons.  i think that--given nymeria’s proximity--it’s possible that those’ll help kick off her wolf-dreams even sooner than canon because a lot of his teachings involve focus and mindfulness which is a lot of what jojen’s trying to get bran to do when he’s controlling summer; also given the sheer power of arya’s warg/skinchanging capacity hell yeah nymeria’s presence is gonna kick that off sooner.  
the challenge we hit with arya is going to be the same challenge we hit with lady: nymeria’s presence is gonna be tricky to navigate when shit hits the fan.  part of how arya is able to escape king’s landing is that she is able to hide and be a streetrat for a few days; that’s gonna be tricky when she’s got a direwolf.  the main solutions to that i’m coming up with are:
she does the rock throwing thing now rather than at the trident.  i think this is unlikely but it’s possible.
she has better control over her wolf than she expects and is able to get nymeria out of the city somehow.  this also feels unlikely, more for the “while i think arya may have some control over nymeria, i don’t think it’s this much control” sort of way.
the most likely is: that you have the goldcloaks finding the wolf, nymeria beasting the shit out of them because i have a sense that they’re freaked out by her and also she’s the literal head bitch in charge of this series, and escaping the city on her own.  i don’t think she goes far--the kingswood maybe at least initially?--but that leaves arya on her own so she can conveniently get picked up by yoren after ned’s beheading and then get boosted from the city.
what i think this means is that nymeria’s never toooooo far from arya.  i think that she’s wary of those around arya, but arya’s dreams have her “safe” and so maybe as arya’s making her way north, nymeria is doing the same.  i don’t think that nymeria is able to go and be at arya’s side again, but i think that--like in canon where she’s kinda helping arya out--she’s never toooo far, and does start her whole pack-building project.
tbh i think in asos they’d reunite??? which would change up arya’s going to braavos bc i don’t think she would if she had nymeria i bet she’d brave the wild and try to walk north to jon.
ok i’m tired and vaguely pleased with this upon a reread so i hope this all makes sense!

Original Post from Rapid7 Author: Tod Beardsley
It’s Summer 2019! (whoops, did I just dox your password?), which means it’s time for another edition of our wildly fun and informative survey of the art and esoterica of penetration testing, Under the Hoodie. This report covers the measurable results of about 180 penetration tests conducted by Rapid7’s crack penetration testing team, then analyzed and examined by Data Scientist Kwan Lin and me, Research Director Tod Beardsley.

Not only is this a fun report to read, but it was fun to write, too. For example, I learned that about 50% of the time we’re on an internal engagement, we uncover at least one target Windows machine that’s vulnerable to the now-rather-ancient MS08-067 and the starting-to-get-old MS17-010.
The good news here is that MS08-067 is slowly but surely disappearing from corporate LANs around the world. The bad news—aside from this 50/50 shot at a total remote code execution exploit—is that the patches for MS17-010 are not only already two years old, but are also connected to THE most talked-about widespread exploitation the world has ever seen, WannaCry.

Of course, that’s why you pen test in the first place. Often, the goal of a penetration test is to find those dark, cobwebby corners of your IT infrastructure. Even if you think your asset management and patch pipeline is tip-top, you never really know until you release the hounds to sniff out those isolated bits of badness that can lead to a full domain compromise.
But hey, maybe you’re not into stats and graphs. Never fear! This report also has a handful of fun sidebar stories, “This One Time on a Pen Test,” direct from the consultants themselves. For example, if you learn nothing else from this report, you might want to read up on how mousejacking was used in a real engagement by Jesse Gardner to hijack a wireless mouse and use it as a remote keyboard from a couple dozen meters away. It’s some pretty neat, Hollywood-hacking-style stuff that’s actually practical.
So, head on over here and check out the report, and if you’re just dead set against literacy, you can join me and Kwan at our webcast about the findings. I’ll also be hanging around Hacker Summer Camp in Las Vegas (Booth 804 at Black Hat, and at the Metasploit Merch Table at DEF CON), if you want to talk about this stuff in person.
By the way, we’re looking to expand our coverage beyond just Rapid7-performed penetration testing for 2020, so if you’re part of a penetration testing organization and would like to participate in the next survey, get in touch with us at [email protected]. We’ll set you up with our survey materials; after all, part of the purpose of this research is to not only illustrate what pen testers find on the typical engagement, but to illuminate people who may be a little fuzzy on what pentesting actually is (and is not). I figure the best way to do this is to strive for something more vendor-neutral. After all, Rapid7 is a big booster of open source, and that goes for research and data, too. Anyway, go read the report, and if this is the kind of thing you’d like to help out on, drop us a line.
