Oh sorry I for the back to back
Actually tv was airing reruns of good times once so my mom put it on and I watch a couple of episodes. I mentally went OH NOOOOOOOO halfway through the trailer when realizing what it was sequel about
THERE A FUCKING REASON IM MORE EXCITED ABOUT PLAYING AS YASUKE IN A HISTORICAL FICTION THAT CENTER AROUND A ILLUMINATI WAR AND MOST GODS ARE ACTUALLY MISREMEMBERING OF A HIGHLY ADVANCED CIVILIANIZATION THAT CREATED HUMANITY FOR SLAVE LABOR 75,000 YEARS AGO
Ugh sorry for the detour, but for why Ghettos now means bad neighborhoods. I remember something
So in 7th grade , a daughter of two holocaust survivors told her parents stories. She mentioned that they immigrant to Chicago
So my theory is that when holocaust survivors was telling how they were treated prior to the Final Solution. That people especially black Americans might have started to see parallels to how African Americans were treated in America
Of course not 1:1 but we all know how Jim crows America was
Oh and that pos racist urban planner Robert Moses that lead to the huge race issues of neighborhoods
And the projects, yeah the crime ridden place that was intentionally there to keep my community as animals
Of course not every black person live in it. But there a reason why a lot of black Americans including the lunatic Kanye in his songs, reference Chicago as Chiraq
Oh sorry detour, but remember the OG candyman? I seen people ask why it focus on a white woman…holy fuuuuuuuck
🤔
Could been that a lot of middle classic Americans especially fans of the horror genre wouldn’t know about the terrible situations of the Chicago projects so they made a stand in for the majority white consumers?
Ugh don’t get me started on the remake…where they tackle police brutality… in Chicago… a Democrat and heavily black politicians voted city.
Source: I live in the Chicago area and one it suburbs. I can see the Sears tower (I will call its Willis when I’m dead) in the distance when I use the backroads
Sorry now it remind the issues with the black panther movies. Yeah it was made by race obsessed people but also it was written as a Black ™️ movie
A prime example is Killmonger backstory, yeah it was wrong for the wakandans to abandoned to the streets of Oakland….
But the problem is the vast majority of MCU consumers were white middle class people and even I had to explain some shit to a Indian mutual
Coogler forgot that media intentionally turns a blind eye to black on black crime now and how horrific black inner cities still are. So most people wouldn’t know how crime ridden Oakland was. Okay okay they would, but a lot of the intentionally markers wouldn’t
But they sure as hell remember how evil the cia iiiiis!
Tangent, but why are black creators acting like the shitty made, poorly run projects integral to our communities?
They forced upon to use when we had very limited access to jobs and such. The whole guns, crack, and welfare system was created by racist politicians to ensure we ran back to arms for votes.
Shiiit, now I’m think about, the projects should been seen as modern plantations. Made to keep us away from the others. And so many black kids who could have been doctors, lawyers, and more. All gun down in crossfires or force to join gangs in order to survive….
Oh sorry I for the back to back Actually tv was airing reruns of good times once so my mom put it on and I watch a couple of episodes. I mentally went OH NOOOOOOOO halfway through the trailer when realizing what it was sequel about
Ya, Jeffersons, Good Times, and 227 were all great shows that need to be left alone, Sanford and Son too, they're trading on the name without actually honoring the place it came from, it's a shame.
You're sort of right on Ghetto
How America's Ugly History of Segregation Changed the Meaning of the Word 'Ghetto'
Short short version is the black community adopted the term since it matched up well enough to their circumstances with forced segregation looks like as early as 1910
Oh sorry detour, but remember the OG candyman? I seen people ask why it focus on a white woman…holy fuuuuuuuck
Never saw it, but I will take your word for it on all that stuff
Sorry now it remind the issues with the black panther movies. Yeah it was made by race obsessed people but also it was written as a Black ™️ movie A prime example is Killmonger backstory, yeah it was wrong for the wakandans to abandoned to the streets of Oakland….

Didn't see that one either, but I did gather that it was not quite what it should have been, unfortunately there is only so much time in a movie so gotta leave it up to the viewers in places I guess, also I imagine there were plenty of people that didn't care anyhow they just wanted to see the people fighting and all the cool gadgets and such.
Coogler forgot that media intentionally turns a blind eye to black on black crime now and how horrific black inner cities still are. So most people wouldn’t know how crime ridden Oakland was. Okay okay they would, but a lot of the intentionally markers wouldn’t
You should look up the angry reviews about that one episode of Family Guy, lot of people upset at the 'family guy 'nobody cares about black on black crime' line at the end.

because people continue to consume it so there's not much motivation to change the formula, need to bring back George and Weezie, Jefferson's was a good show, Sinbad was a good show, hell even Martin wasn't half bad.
They'd hate The Jefferson's now because meritocracy is bad somehow, but how else are you supposed to move on up to the east side, to a deluxe apartment in the sky, at least most people have to work for it, especially if they started at the bottom.
Can't tell people that they have some responsibility for where they land in life now it would seem.
Shiiit, now I’m think about, the projects should been seen as modern plantations. Made to keep us away from the others. And so many black kids who could have been doctors, lawyers, and more. All gun down in crossfires or force to join gangs in order to survive….
See above about The Jefferson's and previous comments about 'crab in a bucket/work 3 times as hard'
You want a media conspiracy there you go.

Noise cancellation
Ukyo missed the modern times immensely, especially earplugs, after the stone wars had ended. He, of course, loved that there was minimal to no bloodshed from the battle, but now that the two kingdoms were united, things had gotten so much louder. To make that fact even worse, they'd found Ryusui Nanami, a millionaire with no volume control and a seemingly high opinion of himself, and a pretty obvious crush on Ukyo. The archer had absolutely no clue how Ryusui had zeroed in on him, he was nowhere near the social circles the blonde would've run in back in modern times, he purposely tried not to stand out or attract attention, even in the new world, and just did whatever he could to avoid the loud extrovert when he'd been revived, but it was as if Ryusui Nanami had a sixth sense when it came to finding introverts who just wanted to be left alone. While it was kind of sweet to see someone so stuck in puppy-love, it became a hassle for the poor loner. For weeks, the millionaire would seek him out whenever there was a moment of free time, and would flirt to the best of his abilities, flustering and following the archer around until either his butler, Francois, pulled him away, or he had to return to working on the kingdom of science's latest work.         "Ryusui," Ukyo finally sighed while the blonde tried for the umpteenth time that day to flirt with him, "Have you not caught on to the fact that I don't want to date you?" For a moment, that seemed to silence the chatterbox, and the archer watched as he seemed to mentally run through their interactions to fact check him. Then, he nodded,          "Yeah, it's been pretty clear, I guess..." he admitted, running a hand through his hair with a small sigh, "but, I really like you, and thought that maybe you were just playing hard to get. Though if you really don't have any romantic interest in me...uh, maybe we could be friends? And later on I can see if I can worm my way into your affections?" he asked, his brown eyes glittering with honest hope despite the still-flirty edge to his words .           "Iiiii guess," Ukyo relented, "to being friends, not dating you." he reiterated, and the man nodded, completely accepting the offer. So the smaller male humored the millionaire from time to time, but made very sure that he knew his boundaries, like not to be loud around him, or that he wouldn't participate in activities with large groups very often, and surprisingly, Ryusui respected each boundary set, and would quickly adapt the way he acted in response, which helped them grow closer. Because of that, Ukyo warmed up to him a lot faster than he thought he would, and, despite his reservations, he found Ryu to be quite charming when he wasn't being an abrasive snob or obnoxiously loud.            "Can I ask you something?" He inquired one day during one of their hangouts, while he and the blonde sat beside a quiet river, fishing the afternoon away since they currently had nothing else to do that would've helped speed up the building of the ship. So, there they sat in a comfortable silence, the captain laying back with his hat over his eyes and the archer now watching him while he hummed at his question, "why are you so hellbent on getting close to me?" That made him lift his hat to look back at the curious man,           "Is your self esteem that low? I find you attractive, I desire you greatly. While I respect you not wanting to date me just yet, I still want to have a relationship with you in some fashion." he explained as if it were obvious, which, Ukyo had to admit, it was, but he still wasn't expecting such a blunt, in-depth reply.             "n-not romantically, I meant why do you want to be my friend. We aren't from the same social standing in modern terms, our personalities are opposites, so aside from wanting to convince me to sleep with you, I don't know why you'd want to hang around me " he listed, looking back at the water and hoping his cheeks weren't as bright a pink as he felt they might be, and while Ryusui snorted, he was nice enough not to mention it if they were,                      "You're actually pretty fun to be around. Our little hang outs give me a chance to relax. Oh, also, our personalities aren't so opposite that we shouldn't get along. I do tire of being a social butterfly and charming." he hummed, dropping his hat back onto his face. After that, the introvert was a tad bit flustered for a while, and for a few more days got embarrassed whenever he saw the blonde, remembering the small compliment he gave him. After a month or so of slightly awkward hangouts though, as winter was beginning to settle in around them, the captain began to ask Ukyo to hang out more, especially when snow fell and he got the urge to snowboard or build snowmen with the others, but Ukyo would usually still refuse or hang back from the group activities until the the archer reminded him of his aversion to noisy settings. After that, Ryusui once again listened, calming down on inviting the smaller male out to big social events and just sticking to finding moments when they could just be alone and chat or do something simple. That small act seemed to be the final check point of sorts, and Ukyo was soon confronted with how easily flustered he suddenly was around Ryusui, or how sensitive he seemed to any possible underlying flirtations in the man's words. He was developing a damned crush in return. It was one thing to be nice and respect his boundaries, but on top of that, Ryusui proved to be a charming, smooth-talking man and the snowy haired man admittedly had a weakness for tall, handsome, respectful men, so the fact that the millionaire was hitting all of his standards was honestly bound to create an attraction. Though, Ukyo hadn't expected to maybe have feelings for the millionaire so reasonably soon after meeting him, it usually took so much longer for him to become infatuated. However, one snowy day when the archer wasn't doing anything particularly important, the extroverted blonde delivered the final nail in the coffin for him falling, at least a little, for him.            "Ukyo~" the tall captain sang with a grin as he jogged up with his hands behind his back,            "Yes, Ryusui?" the archer asked, a bit suspicious at his chipper tone on such a chilly day,            "I've got you a surprise! Close your eyes," he instructed, looking at the male expectantly until he huffed and finally shut his eyes. After that, Ryusui plopped a pair of headphones onto Ukyo's head, suddenly dropping him into a muffled world that made his eyes pop open to see the blonde beaming at him triumphantly. After a moment of shock, Ukyo pushed the headphones onto his neck so he could talk,            "Ryusui? What the heck is this for?"            "Well, you told me you had trouble with loud noises, so I thought I'd get Kaseki to make you some noise cancelling headphones! I dunno how well they work for you, but they at least muffle everything pretty well, so..." he shrugged, than tensed momentarily when Ukyo suddenly hugged him, before hugging him back and grinning "I'll take that as a thank you,"

Dear Fandom 5K Author
Hi! Thank you for writing for me! I’m reconditarmonia here and on AO3. I have anon messaging off, but mods can contact me with any questions.
Dragon Age | Fullmetal Alchemist | The Locked Tomb | Motherland: Fort Salem | Where the Sky is Silver and the Earth is Brass
General likes:
– Relationships that aren’t built on romance or attraction. They can be romantic or sexual as well, but my favorite ships are all ones where it would still be interesting or compelling if the romantic component never materialized.
– Loyalty kink! Trust, affectionate or loving use of titles, gestures of loyalty, replacing one’s situational or ethical judgment with someone else’s, risking oneself (physically or otherwise) for someone else, not doing so on their orders. Can be commander-subordinate or comrades-in-arms.
– Heists, or other stories where there’s a lot of planning and then we see how the plan goes.
– Femslash, complicated or intense relationships between women, and female-centric gen. Women doing “male” stuff (possibly while crossdressing).
– Stories whose emotional climax or resolution isn’t the sex scene, if there is one.
– Uniforms/costumes/clothing.
– Stories, history, and performance. What gets told and how, what doesn’t get told or written down, behavior in a society where everyone’s consuming media and aware of its tropes, how people create their personas and script their own lines.
General DNW: rape/dubcon, torture, other creative gore; unrequested AUs, including “same setting, different rules” AUs such as soulmates/soulbonds; PWP; food sex; embarrassment; focus on pregnancy; Christmas/Christian themes; infidelity; unrequested polyamory; focus on unrequested canon or non-canon ships; unrequested trans versions of characters.
Smut Likes: clothing, uniforms, sexual tension, breasts, manual sex, cunnilingus, grinding, informal d/s elements, intensity.
Fandom: Dragon Age
Character(s):
Group: Cassandra Pentaghast/Female Lavellan
Female Lavellan
Group: Charter & Rector
Genre(s):
Canon-Style Plot - Freeform
Action/Adventure
Worldbuilding
Established Relationship
Mystery/Procedural
I'm playing this game for the first time and loving Cassandra and Lavellan together so much. (I'm playing with a mod where I can romance her with a female PC!) Lavellan starts off as this confused and small and non-Andrastian prisoner who disagrees with Cassandra on so many things, but Cassandra puts so much trust and faith in her and so much on the line for her - even with Lavellans who are adamant that they're not chosen, they're just doing their best and they happen to be the ones in the position to make this choice. Cassandra is so proud to know her, and backs her up even when she disagrees with Lavellan's choices! The romance scene is really cute between two characters who are adults and have a day-to-day working relationship that isn't going to change, but are still just having fun with how charming it is in a way that builds on their friendship. Not to mention their battling together, of course - the ways they can protect each other and fight for each other's goals (and give Cassandra all the elven swords and shields), how worried they sound if the other one gets hurt...whoops, I found myself another loyalty kink ship.
I also just like playing as Lavellan generally, with how much of an outsider she feels (the "Dawn Will Come" scene is so alienating! it really works!) and how much of the game is about visiting the sites of past elven trauma and/or glory days.
My Lavellan uses the (default lol) name of Ellana, is a rift mage, sports a lovely buzzcut and vallaslin, has a lot of feelings about elf history (and visiting the Plains/Graves especially), believes in elven gods and doesn't care to pretend she's Andrastian, and besides Cass is closest friends with Solas, but don't feel that you have to write my specific PC - I'm excited to read about yours too!
But! I also love all the little hints about the work that Leliana's agents are doing, and their friendship (walking in on their card game at Caer Bronach is kind of delightful), and the letter from Rector's mother asking why he uses a code name for work (why are you ashamed of your name, Wilbur??) is one of my favorite in-universe documents. Slice-of-life or slice-of-mission with Charter and Rector would also make me really happy. Here again, just the closeness and trust and faith that these people have in one another is my jam.
Fandom-Specific DNW: Canon-typical levels of Cassandra's association with the Chantry and belief in the Maker/Andraste/the Herald shouldn't be taken to contravene my DNW of Christian themes, but I wouldn't want Satinalia fic or something focused on the Andrastian faith. Please don't put F!Lavellan in a different romance, even if we didn't match on the Cassandra ship.
Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Character(s):
Group: Olivier Mira Armstrong/Maria Ross
Genre(s):
Action/Adventure
Canon-Style Plot - Freeform
Getting Together
I'll admit: I am a shallow, shallow person who loves the heartwarming and id-satisfying Briggs loyalty-kink complex (The watch! Buccaneer handing Olivier a clean pair of gloves after she kills Raven! Constant and deeply sincere saluting! Olivier’s explanation of why she wants Miles around and her lack of patience for anyone’s shit) but would like an f/f manifestation of it for actual shipping. Post-canon or AU where Maria is assigned to Briggs, or works for Olivier in Central? Does Maria foil a plot against Olivier, or Olivier save Maria's life in battle? Does Olivier order Maria into a firefight? Hit me.
Fandom-Specific DNW: Olivier/men, even mentioned.
Fandom: The Locked Tomb
Character(s):
Matthias Nonius
Genre(s):
Action/Adventure
Canon-Style Plot - Freeform
Fantasy
Nonius was one of my favorite new characters in Harrow the Ninth. His whole impossible arrival via evocation-by-poetry, battle with the Sleeper, and epic departure to fight the Beast made me very, very happy on levels I have trouble explaining. It was so heartwarming?! Because it was impossible, and because poetry won, and because they went off to do the best they could...I don't know, exactly. (Iiiii also just love that he's named for the Redwall mouse.) I'd love to read more about his life - being unprepossessing and very human but also paladin-like and really fucking good at being a swordsman, representing the Ninth House in slightly less decrepit times, his mysterious past with Gideon the First (and Pyrrha, sort of), however it happened that he died far from home in an unknown place and couldn't be recovered for burial, "chickenshits don't get beer"? Or, er, his afterlife - going to fight with Marta, Ortus, and Pro, re-encountering G1deon as allies...
Fandom: Motherland: Fort Salem
Character(s):
Group: Abigail Bellweather/Raelle Collar
Original Historical Witch Character(s)
Group: Sarah Alder & First Bellweather Ancestor
Genre(s):
Action/Adventure
Canon-Style Plot - Freeform
Mystery/Procedural
Worldbuilding
I fell hard for this show and Abigail/Raelle is the ship I’m most excited about - they get off to a bad start for all kinds of personal history reasons and have problems with each other, but when it gets down to the wire Abigail would do anything for Raelle and is very gung-ho about having Raelle’s unconventional but extremely powerful magic under her leadership, regardless of Raelle being a loose cannon. She told her she loved her!! <3 And by the end, Raelle also clearly knows what Abigail's going through (like when she talks her down in "Citydrop"), respects her leadership, and cares deeply about her and wants to protect her in return. I love that loyalty dynamic, and their competence as fighters/witches.
Physical combat, strength in general, magical strength, ability to work magic together, knowledge of the magical canon vs. out-of-the-box techniques...what parts of their skills and their bond could be challenged in the weird dimension that the end of season 1 leaves them in? Or when they get back home and new challenges await? (In my head, the decision not to send them to War College is not revoked; the unit becomes some kind of special-forces secret strike team rather than cannon fodder.) Maybe something where Raelle goes/has gone into a fight as a berserker-type for Abigail and then comes back to her, or where Abigail protects/has protected her soldier (her girl!! I love her protectiveness of Raelle towards the other cadets, imagine it in a battle!)? Or an arranged marriage AU where it's usual for witch soldiers to marry to combine their magic power or something...If including smut in the story, I'd especially be up for something d/s-y where the loyalty-kinky dynamic of Raelle being Abigail's weapon, at her command, is echoed in sex!
OR. The alternate history that the show has created is so interesting and I'm craving expansion of that through fic! Tell me about the Bellweather ancestor who was a slave and ended up powerful and influential enough to begin a dynasty, and how she met and was recruited by Alder. Or other enslaved witches, witches in the American Revolution or the Civil War, or the founding of Fort Salem and standardization of American military magic with its various influences, or Chinese or Jewish or Mexican immigrant witches who maybe came from different magic traditions and might have had to make the choice of whether or not to reveal that they had magic (if the system knows you because of your descent in the country?), serving their country but also binding their daughters and granddaughters forever.
Fandom-Specific DNW: Abigail/Adil (at all; if he's mentioned, please make them just friends), focus on Raelle/Scylla (dwelling on Raelle still having feelings for Scylla or on her getting over Scylla for Abigail; you don't need to retcon their having been together), Scylla bashing.
Fandom: Where the Sky is Silver and the Earth is Brass
Character(s):
Chaye Roznatovsky
Demon
Genre(s):
Fantasy
Canon-Style Plot - Freeform
Worldbuilding
Anything expanding on this story would make me really happy. Chaye’s years with the partisans, the comrades-in-arms she had and loved then and who else’s memory she holds or makes into a weapon, her journey to America, going by the surname of “no one.” The demon’s mirror world, its loss of that world (what exactly happened on the other side?) and its need to be where Jews are, demon Judaism? Or the future of both of them now that they’ve found each other!
Fandom-Specific DNW/Opt-In: DNW Chaye/demon. The premise of the story being what it is, I'm explicitly okay with antisemitism being a prominent feature of the story if you write something that covers either or both characters' backstory, but would prefer post-war antisemitism not to be a focus.

Watching the Clone Wars Movie to heal my soul after Shattered.
The opening music and narration nearly made me tear up this show means so much to me
Ahsoka is TINY. She's a BABY. She grows up SO MUCH.
It's kinda cool how at the beginning the clones were all wearing white, but by the end of the war they have colour and personality on their armour
Rex laughing at Ahsoka being like 'you're stuck with me, skyguy' makes me EMOTIONAL for many reasons
She's trying so hard to be grown up and ugh in the latest episode she admits that she was too young to be out there and UGH.
"They make... quite a pair, don't they sir? Do you think they have a chance?" watching this was supposed to make me FEEL BETTER not get emotions about comments that can have two meanings.
Ahsoka's so eager to learn! What a bean!
"Good. You take direction well" after Ahsoka literally just questioned his orders twice.
Obi Wan's 'surrender' is iconic
I love how R2's just chilling on the battle field
"You're reckless, little one. You never would have made it as Obi Wan's Padawan... but you might make it as mine." hi I'm sobbing this line wreaks me every time
Rex calling Ahsoka 'kid' hurts me and makes me emotional and hhhh after the last episode he WATCHED HER GROW UP
"I admit Ahsoka is a little rough around the edges. But with a bit of training and patience, she might amount to something." SHE DOES SHE DOES SHE AMOUNTS TO SO, SO MUCH
"You want me to rescue Jabba the Hutt's son?" ooooh Anakin is angry
"Ready he is to teach an apprentice. To let go of his pupil a greater challenge it will be" oooh Yoda is so right he never fully let's go of her until it's too late huh? *glances at the blue lightsabers*
Oh yeah the bounty hunter heads that shooketh me as a child
Jawas are some of my favourite star wars races they're great.
"This isn't practice, Ahsoka" haha yeah throw a 14 year old into an active war zone that's a great idea!!
(Iiiii hate her outfiiit)
Droid humour is the best I miss it. "Get back here, Sargent!" iconic. Droid humour shaped who I am today
The music is good, but it isn't star wars, which I think it something they definitely changed as they went on through the show.
Love how, given his history, Anakin is really against dealing with the Hutts
The animation has really come a long way in the last 12 years huh?
She's so tiiiiny and she's trying so hard to be grown uuuup what a bean.
Rex has always and always will be a badass and man, I forgot Rex full on got mind controlled huh?
"Skywalker is in trouble. You know the drill" Obi Wan sounds so resigned. Ah. Yes. Anakin is in trouble. Again. Why am. I not surprised?
Hey Oddball's in this episode! I love how he's mentioned a number of times, cos he's at Umbara as well. He must be one of the oldest clones then, if he's in this early and lasts until rots. He seems pretty shiny as well, given how he panics.
I miss the Twilight, it's a bit of an ugly ship but it was cool.
Anakin having to leave his men behind and Rex being like 'the mission always comes first' hurts me
Dang Obi Wan stop being such a flirt I forgot how much he does this
Okay but unless they find an identical ship that's equally garbage, how did the Twilight survive? Cos that thing is a mess and the Jawas would have gutted it within hours. Also it's in the middle of the desert.
Padme's outfit when she goes to visit Zero is great, I should cosplay it.
"the desert is merciless. It takes everything from you" oof. It took his mother. You know that's what he's thinking
I am struck this viewing by how young Anakin is. He's like 20. That's my brother's age. That's my age. He's just a kid, really.
What even happened to Jabba's son where's he at in the originals?
Anakin and Padme stop eye flirting in front of everyone.
Love that final shot of everyone just posing in a line that's so natural huh? Honestly tho the animation has improved so much.
Gah, even though it's kinda bad in both plot and animation, this movie has a special place in my heart, especially the first part. Sometimes I wish I could go back to being 12, quoting the droids, playing stories with my brother and our lego figures. I miss life being that simple.
Now, instead of worrying about missing hutt children, we're worrying about close friends turning on each other because they're being mind controlled.
I really have grown up with Star Wars The Clone Wars huh?
I think it's time for a rewatch. Maybe I'll go in chronological order this time. And maybe I'll stop before season four, before it gets too dark.

Worm Liveblog #36
UPDATE 36: The Many Turns of Life
Last time Taylor had a disagreement with the rest of the Undersiders. Well, ‘disagreement’ is kind of an understatement. She’s quitting. But before she can make it official by making a dramatic exit with her stuff, an Endbringer attacks. But before we can see what happens, there’s an interlude! So let’s do that first.
The interlude starts with what seems to be a little girl named Hana being led away by Turkish soldiers, in a village in Turkey. Well that is quite far from the setting I’m used to here in Worm! She’s not the only child being told to move; others are corralled with her as well. Turns out Turkey is in middle of a war, and the village she lived in was attacked not long ago. Huh. Mr. Wildbow isn’t afraid of touching sensitive topics and going dark, could it be he’s going to touch the topic of child soldiers? Well this is going to be potentially disquieting! I already feel bad for Hana.
The villagers or the guerrilla fighters had laid many dangerous traps in the woods around the village, traps filled with stakes positioned so it’d be very difficult to pull someone out. Unfortunately, traps don’t differentiate between friend and foe. One of the kids step into one, impaling his foot into it. I cringe at the description, because as usual, Mr. Wildbow goes into loving description of the exact positioning of the stakes and how it’s injuring the kid further. Thanks, author, you’re such a pal.
A soldier had put an end to their efforts with a bullet through Kovan’s head, making Kovan the second of the children to die.
Dang...well, there’s going to be a lot of trauma for these kids today – more than they already had once the soldiers invaded their village and killed or injured everyone. How did the first child die? I think I missed that, and honestly I don’t feel like looking back, because it’ll undoubtedly be depressing. Not that what’s incoming will be any cheerier.
Now that I think about it, this is the kind of situation that’d lead to powers awakening, and since Hana is the character who stars this interlude, she may be the one who gets powers.
Hana is being told to lead the group through the forests through trial and error, and by that I mean she’s going to fall in any traps they find in the way so the rest don’t. She keeps walking until she stops, feeling that no matter where she moves now she’d die. It’s a gut feeling, something she can’t explain. Hm. Could be simply instinct, could be budding powers. Not that the soldiers care one child more dies, they tell her to keep walking, and she doesn’t move.
They would make her watch as they tortured one of the other children to death.  Then they would start on the next, maybe Hana herself, until they had another child willing to act as decoy and clear the traps from their way in the simplest, most dangerous manner possible.
Right, these soldiers must have gathered a lot of children in that village. Otherwise torturing and/or killing them would be kind of counterproductive, they’d deplete the children they came to get. I’m supposing that’s what they came for, for children.
And apparently this is when everything gets trippy, because Hana gets a vision. A large entity, so large it’s almost incomprehensible, and it’s falling apart, fragmenting and dying. The fragments fall all over Earth. Well this story got quite a lot weirder now, eh?
One of those fragments seemed to grow, getting bigger, larger, looming in her consciousness until it was all she could perceive, as though the moon was falling, colliding with the earth.  Falling directly on top of her.
That sounds significant. I don’t know what’s going on, but given this whole thing about a flying entity turning into fragments interrupted everything as if time stopped, and one of those fragments fell on Hana, it can’t be a random thing Mr. Wildbow wrote just so he could show off he knows to write ‘dandelion’ in Turkish. Hmmmm...I’m not sure how to interpret this all. It’s a metaphorical thing, that much I’m sure about, because in reality it’s not like anything fell on Hana, from what I see here.
While the soldiers try to deal with the situation, Hana feels something forming in her hands, it’s—oh. Iiiii think I see where this is going. Hana did indeed gain powers, yes, and this seems...familiar to me. Is this going where I think this is going?
And stopped. Something stood in her way.  A blur hung in the air at chest level, crackling, shifting with a manic ferocity.  She let her foot fall back down where it had been a moment ago and stared at the kaleidoscopic shimmer of black and green.
She touched it, and felt a weight settle into her palm.  Her hand automatically closed around it, feeling the warmth of it.  It felt almost like when she pet a friendly dog. An odd thought, given what she found herself looking at.
A gun, polished gray steel.  Somehow familiar.  Identical to the smallest guns she had seen the guerrilla fighters carrying.
A weapon formed in thin air, and when she decides it’s not good, it changes shape into a different weapon. Wasn’t Miss Militia’s power something like this? Either Hana has earned the same power than Miss Militia – which is entirely possible, I’d say – or Hana is Miss Militia and this all is in the past, so this is her trigger event.
Still, it’s interesting she remembers this whole thing about the dying entity, when the other trigger events we have read about don’t mention such thing. I wonder...maybe this is something exclusive to Hana, that momentary mental image, like a way for her to interpret having gained the powers. It’s a weird and nonsensical way to visualize it, but hey, she was a child. Children can be imaginative.
Hana turns around to fire the gun at the soldiers, and that’s when she wakes up. Welcome back to reality, Hannah! And yeah, this is Miss Militia. She has her costume and all. Not the character I expected would have an interlude anytime soon!
She was the only one who remembered.  Everyone else forgot that impossibly huge being, if they were even graced with a glimpse of it.  She couldn’t be sure.  If any others saw it, they would inevitably forget it before they could gather their thoughts enough to speak of it.  Like she was supposed to.
Oh, so it wasn’t something she imagined, it’s...it really is the source of powers for everyone? And everybody forgets that? Then why did Hannah remember, what’s different about her? It’s starting to seem like Miss Militia may be more important to the bigger scheme of Worm than I had expected, apparently.
It may be related to her power. The weapons she creates are...like fragments of her psyche, that’s what she theorizes. She slept with the combat knife strapped to her hip, usually she doesn’t need to sleep. This fragment may have brought the memory back or something like that. So that’s how powers come to be...fragments flaking off a big dying entity floating around is not where I thought powers would come from, that’s for sure.
And through some chance of fate, this meant she remembered the entity, and she remembered forgetting it, as paradoxical as that was.
And she would never speak of it to anyone.
Because it’d be useless, she remembers forgetting about it. Nobody else would know what she’s talking about.
Since the dream/recollection of memories is over, Hannah exposits for the reader’s benefit. Well, thanks! Hana managed to bring the surviving children to the village, making them promise they wouldn’t tell anyone about her power. Time passed, the guerrilla fighters returned at some point, and the children were sent away to England as refugees. She was unable to pass through the metal detector because she was still carrying a weapon, she couldn’t leave it behind. Huh. So Miss Militia is forced to always have a weapon with her...okay, got it.
An American in a military uniform rescued her and brought her to America, where after some time she was enlisted into the Wards and taught the English language. I must say, I didn’t think there’d be an origin story for Miss Militia, this is good!
America is still a foreign place for her, mostly because it’s so different in every way possible to the place she came from. It’s not because this is a city or anything like that, it’s partly because of its people’s behavior, it’s so different to what she grew up with she feels America is surreal.
There was no war here, not really, and yet the people here managed to find so much to complain about.  Men in suits, trouble in love, medical care and not having the latest touchscreen phone.  Such complaints often carried more emotion and fervor than anyone in her village had used to bemoan the death of loved ones or the methodical eradication of their people.  When she heard the complaints of her friends and coworkers, she simply nodded and gave the necessary words of sympathy.
And even now it doesn’t seem to me she has completely adjusted to being there. Well I can’t blame her.
It has been twenty-six years since then and she has grown to love America, and I was wrong, she adjusted to being there. Alright!
Even among other faithful, she would be met with suspicion and scorn, were she to say she’d seen God, or one of His warrior angels, such as they existed beyond the scope of human understanding.
...yeeeeeah, I doubt that was it. I doubt it was God or any angel.
The notion that this thing she had seen was something other than a benign entity watching over humanity, that it might be malign, or even worse, that it existed with no conception of the effect it had on mankind?  An elephant among gnats?  It wasn’t a comfortable thought.
And I doubt that too. She said she had the impression it was dying. I don’t know what it is or what happened, but I feel it didn’t suddenly decide to pour fragments of itself over a random planet to give random humans random powers. Seems more to me it was a coincidence. You know what I’m wondering, though? How it’s possible people in the present get powers. Unless that thing dying is in a different temporal stratus than everybody who has received powers, it can’t have been dying up there for twenty-six years or more.
What’s more, the first people who had powers were people who were in that ship that stumbled upon Scion floating around. Are there two different sources of powers? Is Scion and what Miss Militia remembers linked to each other somehow? Is Scion that thing, somehow? I don’t get any of this. Anything is possible and it’s too early to know for sure, I’m just in the seventh arc. There’s a lot of Worm left.
Ready to tackle the day, Miss Militia walks and goes to Armsmaster’s room, where he stayed all night working on something. Tinkering, perhaps? He does have his halberd. Dragon is there too; she’s communicating through the computer. Armsmaster and her may have been working together on something, then.
Colin leaned back and rubbed his eyes with the heels of his hands, “I’d give my left foot for that little perk.”
I won’t lie, I would too, the perk of not requiring sleep would be great. I mean, I like sleeping, but I like more doing a lot of stuff I can’t do while I’m asleep.
No surprise Dragon doesn’t remember how her power came to be, whatever it is. Looks like you’re still alone in that, Miss Militia. Anyway, Armsmaster did spent the whole night working on improving the halberd, even more, but it seems to have been done to kill time, procrastinate.
“Piggot has decided to take action in reflection of recent events.  Both the Wards and the Protectorate are being restructured.”
When you say ‘recent events’ you mean from the start of Worm until now? Because a lot has happened since then! And the heroes aren’t exactly praised to high heavens after a couple of the Undersiders’ shenanigans. Anyway, restructuration is happening, which I guess is a fancy term for firing some and hiring others.
Aegis is leaving. Fare thee well, I barely knew ye. Some guy named Weld will replace him, coming from Boston, he absorbs metals through his skin. That’s versatile! He has a lot of potential, then! What’s more, he is one of the ‘Case 53s’, in other words, he has that mark Gregor, Newter and others have. A byproduct of whatever made them...
...
...I had completely forgotten about them. Whoever that mark belongs to is giving artificial powers to other people. How’s that possible? With this there are three sources of power now, two, hm...”natural” and one artificial. I suppose if there’s a way to, I don’t know, obtain a fragment – if it’s tangible and not a metaphorical thing – I guess a way to extract powers could be done, but that must be really difficult, right?
Kid Cudi Win is getting transferred to another record label city, and they can’t decide who to send with him. Browbeat? He’s a newbie, that’s why they don’t want to send him. Gallant can’t be sent, Clockblocker and Vista are too powerful to merrily send away – oh my god, Kid Win better not hear that, that can’t be good for someone’s self-esteem – and Shadow Stalker is too troublesome. So yeah, either Browbeat or Shadow Stalker would be good, in their opinion, but each of them have their problems.
It was said the Protectorate was getting restructured too, and here comes one of the restructuring. Miss Militia is passed a folder. For a moment I feared she was getting booted or something, but no, it’s the complete opposite.
“There’s a change to our team, too, according to Piggot and the rest of the oversight. You’ve been promoted.  Within the next two weeks, this building and this team will be transferred to your command.”
That’s fantastic! Taylor is going to be elated to hear that, after recent events she likes Miss Militia more than Armsmaster, after all. Good choice, Piggot! And Armsmaster is moved to Chicago. It’s not a promotion.
“It’s the politics,” Colin spoke, leaning back, “I’m good at this.  Better than most, if you don’t mind me boasting.  Everything I bring to the table, I worked my ass off for. But when it comes to shaking hands, managing people, navigating the bureaucracy… I’m not good at it, won’t ever be. Because of that, I’m getting demoted, and I can probably give up on ever being in charge of another team.”
So everything Armsmaster worked for, all he did, every tension he wittingly or unwittingly created with his behavior among the heroes, it’s all for naught. Well that sucks. I feel kind of bad for him, that must sting! I thought Armsmaster would stay in Worm, but looks like he’s leaving the story too. Oh well. It was nice to have him around while it lasted.
Dragon and Armsmaster worked on an alarm system against big threats, and judging by what I read here, it’s threats like the Endbringers. The Endbringers have a pattern, so they’re trying to be one step ahead. Hah! Just in the brink of time, then! So this is why the air raid sirens were sounding, Armsmaster and Dragon activated it!
We know there’s some rules they follow, though we don’t know why.  They come one at a time, months apart, rarely hitting the same area twice in a short span of time.  We know they’re drawn to areas where they perceive vulnerability, where they think they can cause the most damage.  Nuclear reactors, the Birdcage, places recently hit by natural disasters…”
He clicked the mouse, and the image zoomed in on a section of the coastline.
“…Or ongoing conflict,” Hannah finished for him, her eyes widening.  “The ABB, Empire Eighty-Eight, the fighting here?  It’s coming here?  Now?”
And there’s even an explanation as to why there has been no time to rest from the recent mess! So the Endbringers are attracted by such trouble...it’s not confirmed one is coming, but the situation fits well enough to warrant the alarm.
The Protectorate teams shall be reunited, there’s a lot to be done.
He turned to Hannah, and their eyes met briefly.  Much was communicated between them in that moment, and she wasn’t sure she liked what she saw in his eyes.
A glimmer of hope?
So he may be seeing this situation as his chance to save his actual position as leader. If he can successfully command the situation, then he won’t be fired and transferred away. I don’t know if there’s reasons to be worried, though. Despite everything, it seems to me Armsmaster has enough restraint to not overstep lines. I think it’s more likely he’ll screw up out of eagerness than he’ll intentionally do something improper. Good luck to him, because if an Endbringer is coming, then this city will need all the help it can get.
And that’s the end of the interlude! Arc 8 is starting next time, and it’s going to be a gamechanger, according to the author. Fun times incoming!
Next update: four updates

talkin about Gwynevere (and also Gwyndolin) with me pal Garrett
transgarrett Also on an unrelated note but mentioning lautrec brought it up. From the very first time i played through dks i always thought fina and gwynevere are dating Two black widow esque goddesses having a good time
ersatzsun I can dig it. two manipulative ladies working together to troll everybody
transgarrett They are drinking expensive wine while they hold hands and scheme
ersatzsun #DateAGirlWho schemes with you I have to post that
transgarrett Girls who start wars together stay together
ersatzsun gwynevere will marry kings and drive their kingdoms into the ground for fun but her true love is scheming with other ladies
transgarrett I kinda like Gwynevere making this ditzy soft and forgiving persona for herself in the public eye while she is in fact #scheming
ersatzsun she's just a big soft goddess mom who loves and cares about all of you uwu and everybody totally buys it even as she leaves ruination in her wake
transgarrett I kinda understand why she doesnt give a single damn about her kids when they were always only a means to an end
ersatzsun Gwynevere, hanging out at Fina's place with Gertrude after Lothric has all gone to shit: probably coulda handled that one better. oh well. you win some you lose some
transgarrett She admits its not her best work but she did get results so that is the thing that matters ;*
transgarrett Seeing all the divine women as waifs giggling at men in armor who come and offer them gifts is Really Insulting
ersatzsun please give them some credit, people. I badly need to write some gwynevere and Gwyndolin stuff. maybe when gwynevere leaves. she doesn't agree with Gwyndolin's method of sitting in Anor londo and controlling things from afar. she wants to see the world and be more hands on
transgarrett Their relationship is real complicated like.. im sure Gwyndolin wants to hate her but she still cares and respects sister dearly
ersatzsun lil preteen Gwyndolin peeking into Gwynevere's room: can I scheme with you guys. I wanna scheme too.
transgarrett She is allowed to sit on sister's lap and listen to the gathered ladies talk. Gwyndolin has no idea who the people they discuss are, but holy shit ma!! She made it to the grown up sewing circle
ersatzsun she did it!!! she gets to be included!! it feels so good. she has lots of suggestions.
transgarrett Gwyndolin manages to keep up with them... Gwynevere is kinda shaken
ersatzsun might just be time to start taking little sister more seriously, and start including her so they can work together. better that than Gwyndolin growing resentful and turning against her.
transgarrett Gwynevere does not enjoy the idea of having competition in her own family, but she is willing to be diplomatic about it. Her sister is still young, maybe Gwynevere can sway her to work towards the path she finds most pleasing
ersatzsun then dad makes Gwyndolin spymaster, which only feeds her appetite for power, and she decides she's going to do things her own way
ersatzsun her sister gets a covenant. why can't she have one. she'll make her own.
transgarrett Little gwyndolin is terrifyingly ambitious
transgarrett Watch her plan an entire order of knights to act as an independent law enforcement to specifically avoid the type of corruption you'd see with city guards While she is 14
ersatzsun gwynevere is just a little concerned. she doesn't want to see Gwyndolin disowned like their brother for going against Gwyns will. Gwyndolin just tells her she'd like to see their father even try.
transgarrett Horrifying.
transgarrett I cant believe Gwynevere has to count a tween as her political competitor
ersatzsun I am sure she is very proud. certainly a little nervous, but proud all the same
transgarrett She is proud at the young revolutionary yes. Some part of her knows that Gwyndolin will eventually surpass her in these little games they play
ersatzsun I wonder how much of a hand Gwynevere had in politicizing the linking, helping wrench some control away from Gwyndolin who'd kept it going mostly through perpetuated myth
ersatzsun even when they'd gone their separate ways they would still trip one another up, using the fate of the world in their games of sibling rivalry
transgarrett They're gods and gods do not give a single damn about the people they are shepherding into flames and ruin If anything Gwyndolin enjoys the challenge Ruling her own kingdom is everything she had wanted, but sometimes she needs a good war or her sister's medling to break the monotony
ersatzsun Lothric was just a step too far and Gwyndolin had to break in and see what was going on for herself. That's when she stole Yorshka. stole that baby fair and square
transgarrett It was all nice and good until you started making kids in the basement sister what the hell
ersatzsun as entertaining as wars can be neither of them really want one right now so gwynevere grudgingly lets her keep the baby without issue.
ersatzsun everybody's flipping their shit about the newest successful hybrid vanishing as Gwyndolin just does the equivalent of calling her sister up and going "guess what iiiii got ;)"
