On January 30th the BBC News website published a report by Raffi Berg about a counter-terrorism operation which had taken place several hours earlier at the Ibn Sina hospital in Jenin.

The report tells BBC audiences that:

“Israeli forces have killed three members of Palestinian armed groups in a hospital in the occupied West Bank. […] Hamas, an armed Palestinian Islamist group which is fighting a war with Israel in Gaza triggered by its unprecedented attacks on Israel on 7 October, said the Israeli forces had “executed three fighters”, including one of its members. Another armed group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, said two of those killed were its members and were brothers. It added that one of them had been receiving treatment at the hospital.”

“In a joint statement, the IDF, Shin Bet, and police said the leader of the terror cell, Muhammad Jalamneh, 27, had been in contact with Hamas officials abroad. He was previously injured while preparing a car bomb attack, armed other operatives for shooting attacks, and planned “a raid attack inspired by the events of October 7,” according to the statement.

Jalamneh was also reported to be a spokesperson for Hamas’s military wing in the Jenin camp.

A handgun on Jalamneh’s body was seized during the raid, the IDF said.

The IDF named the other two operatives as brothers Muhammad and Basel Ghazawi. Muhammad was involved in shooting attacks at Israeli troops in the West Bank while Basel was a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, according to the military.”

The BBC’s report promotes a second-hand quote from the director of the hospital:

“They executed the three men as they slept in the room,” the hospital’s director, Dr Naji Nazzal, told Reuters. “They executed them in cold blood by firing bullets directly into their heads in the room where they were being treated.” An additional quote from the same person which appears at the end of the report suggests that the “they were being treated” claim is inaccurate: [emphasis added] “Dr Naji Nazzal said one of the men, who PIJ identified as its member, had been receiving treatment at the hospital since 25 October for a spinal injury which had left him paralysed.”

The BBC clearly made no effort to contact Dr Nazzal to ask him why – not for the first time – he had allowed members of terrorist organisations to hide inside the hospital he manages. The absence of such information hampers the ability of readers to put another quote promoted by Berg into its correct context:

“The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the guardian of the Geneva Conventions which codify international humanitarian law, has expressed concern over the raid.

“Under international humanitarian law, hospitals and medical patients should be respected and protected at all times“, the ICRC said, adding that it would raise the issue “as part of its confidential dialogue with the concerned authorities”.” [emphasis added]

Berg does not bother to inform BBC audiences that the ICRC’s own website clarifies that there are exceptions to that rule:

Once again we see that BBC audiences are not provided with the full range of information in reports on counter-terrorism operations in Palestinian Authority controlled areas.

Have you ever been at Arkham? Some say, witches still live there, and ancient cults offer blasphemous sacrifices to nameless gods. There, near the eerie endless river, placed one of the most dobious educational institutions ever.

Miskatonic university is famous all over the world with its science, history and anthropology classes. As prestigious as Harvard, it is attractive point for talented and noble young people, whose minds passionately desire knowledge, sometimes even that which can be called «forbidden». In the poorly lit halls you may find groups of students, and you’d be stunned by the topics of their discussions, as well as their voices whispering terrifying things about the nature of things around them;

____________________________________________

It took a lot of efforts to bring it there, but in the laboratory building there was a fragment of a meteorite that fell on a farmer's garden a couple of days ago. Dr. Crawford Tillingast with his students were astounded by the peculiar spectrum of this rock. Instantly attracting the attention of the entire Physics Department, it was determined that one couldn’t be classified as anything than you can find on the Earth or the familiar cosmic spaces.

The sensational discovery resumed the debates between scientists and conspiracy theorists, frightened by extraterrestrial intervention. It was worth completing the final analyzes on the remains of the stone before it mysteriously evaporated, when newspapers were full of headlines about the next space aliens. For Danny it was such an entertainment to periodically intervene in debates between Dr. Wilmarth and Charles Fort, as well as he couldn’t stand pseudoscience speculation. Dan was a “tough guy”, but the university committee didn’t appreciate his fiery speeches towards his opponents, especially when sometimes they were a high-ranked men. It’s no wonder that such eccentric young lad was dr. Crawford’s protégé, and only this fact prevented Dan from being expelled from the university for his boldness. Whatever, his bad reputation originates from the rare mix of golden brain and disgusting impudence.

The second thing which Dan hates more than brainless sectarians, pseudoscientists, and hillbillies with the stories about flying monsters near the Vermont, was a guy from anthropology department. He saw Watson in person only few time, but it was enough to mark him as a total cretin.

____________________________________________

Being the son of German immigrants, Watson had a strongly visible accent, and definitely could be described as a spoiled noble child. He was never popular among classmates, and his sudden mental breakdown could remain unnoticed, if his symptoms wasn’t so familiar to Arkham Asylum’s doctors.

“….The patient has fragmented visions about different time periods and places, some of them aren’t located nor on the Earth, nor on the other noted planets. From the seizure to seizure, he always claims about his contact with alien race from the “far away in space and time”. The patient called it as “The Great Race of Yith”, or the “masters”, as he always refers to them. The aliens ran the program of mind transfer, or more particularly, the research area between neurology and wireless technologies. According to the statements from patient’s fits, the aliens collected the information from the different intellectual creatures around the space and time. They used something resembled to classical writing the data, which was obviously very fragile and short-lived option. Trying to avoid the loss of the data they started to search for another source which could contain the data for a long. As it was said, the Yithians was very familiar to the mind transfer, and conversion their writings to electromagnetic code of the brain was an idea how to send the message for distant miles and times, without someone else's interruption. Subsequently, theaim was to converted the knowledge they collected to one informantional carrier…”—the doctor reported.

As suddenly as he fainted, Watson came back to his normal mental state, as if nothing happened, he denied everything he said before. But something really changed, as well as he recalled something time to time. It was a big deal to go back to the university, especially with the fact that he suffers from permanent headaches, but he did a really good job at his new anthropology studies. After all, beside university doors he still being extremely attracted to art galleries, especially he enjoyed the works of one infamous artist from Boston, so Watson spent tons of money to redeem all the Richard U. Pickman’s art.

UNRELIABLE NARRATORS; SIDE C

Kvothe Propaganda:

OKAY SO! for one thing we know for a fact that his perception of denna is different from the reality of her, but that’s the tiniest fucking TIP of the ice berg, because: WE DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF ANYTHING HE HAS TOLD US THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COURSE OF THE STORY REALLY HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!! we know skarpi is real because chronicler knows him, we know denna is real because bast met her (if that even was the real denna) BUT WE HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE ABOUT THE ENTIRE REST OF IT !!!!!! HE COULD BE LYING OUT HIS ASS WITH EVERY WORD OUT OF HIS MOUTH!!!!!!!!! WE SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LORD AND LADY I ENT EVER MET A LIAR LIKE YOU IN ME WHOLE LIFE <- ACTUAL THING SAID TO HIM WITHIN THE BOOKS, IN THE FRAME STORY, WHICH WE KNOW *IS* REAL

Kvothe (now just an innkeeper called Kote) is a man who faked his death to escape his status as a legendary hero, criminal, and villain, depending on who you ask. In the books, he admits he's lied and spread some of the more flashy legends about himself for his own purposes, but he agrees to tell his *true* life story over the course of three days. There are times he contradicts himself, brushes over details, or goes into his more extravagant deeds, but it's pretty much always in question as to how much of it is true, how much is clouded by his nostalgia for the past, and how much could be an intentional lie. I LOVE these books and I love Kvothe :)

he narrates most of the book where he is sooo good at everything and learns things very very fast and gets all the women. yeah mhm. he skips over one thing that is a huge myth because it isn't really interesting to him.

there's a frame narrative consisting of Kvothe telling the main story in order to have it recorded. there's several instances where situations are only vaguely described because Kvothe at the time wasn't mentally sound enough to remember all of them. there's also a big argument to be made for him leaving out or changing parts of his story on purpose (he even points out that, since it's his story, he's entitled to some changes if he thinks they're necessary), mostly I think he depicts his teenage self as much less of a dumbass than he actually was

Dr. John Watson Propaganda:

He literally admits that he changes his stories. "One day the true stories may be told"? Do I need to say more?

I still cannot get over how overlooked everything about the Blue Knight is in the original Astro Boy because the twist isn't the fact that the Blue Knight was composed of three different robots that were done wrong by one twisted man. The twist was that these three robots were put in the same body, two of which them were destroyed to made an example of, and that this was done so without the robots' consent or knowing about it by their creator.

If Tonto and Maria were considered deceased, then this kind of goes even further by the fact that they weren't even granted the right to rest in peace by their grieving parent. Blue Bon did not decide to become the Blue Knight until he found out about this fact.

The tragedy of the Blue Knight isn't just the cruelty done to him and his family, but also incomprehensible horror that was done to him by his own parent who he loved and trusted.

Count Berg may have taught Blue Bon Hatred, but it was his father, Dr. Ross, who's actions led him to absolutely give up on humanity entirely.

#another reason why they definitely did not include the siblings in the 2003 anime #there's a pattern of scientists representing parents not being able to cope with the death of their children well in Astro Boy #they can't grieve without doing it in a way that harms their robots/family #Feel like I should make a comparison between Dr Tema Ram and Ross and their coping mechanisms #Blue Knight #Blue Bon #Astro Boy #Tetsuawan Atom #Tezuka #Osamu Tezuka

Ghost helpline part 15 sibling adventures

Klarion just wanted to cause some mischief, just because he left the Lords of Chaos doesn’t mean he’s no longer a trickster after all. Having Violet and Billy gone for so long had made him restless. So when he heard that there was an Atlantean artifact being shown off in Happy Harbor Museum the same color as his only sisters dual eyes he HAD to have it.

It was supposed to be an easy trip. Teleport in cause some chaos, steal the trinket and teleport out. May be he’d get to throw some sidekicks around, he hadn’t been expecting

Dr. Fate.

God he missed Nelson.

—- —- —-

Violet followed the celery dog and it’s master into the empty building- oh not empty. There were people talking at the bar and ten hidden guards. She sniffed the air, the one in green was bleeding.

“Goddamn it Harleen what did you do? Who is this you can’t just bring in strangers to drug deals!”

“Oh hold your horses Penguin. I’m just looking after the kid until someone comes to get her. What was I supposed to do just leave a meta kid alone in Gotham.” Harley spouted while r the walked to the bar, immediately grabbing a drink and downing it.

“A meta huhhh?”

“Oh no Penguin don’t be getting no ideas there, this kid is in no condition to join a gang.”

“Tch- so girly what’s your power?”

The girl was starting to anger Cobblepot, there was something about her that didn’t seem right. She wasn’t even answering she was just staring at all of them! At him, like he was some sort of freak show!

“Well I’m talking to you!”

The girl clocked her head, opening and closing her mouth a few times. She was getting on Oswald’s nerves, that vacant expression was creepy on a kid.

Oswald hated when people stared.

“Your green friend is bleeding.”

What?

The Penguin followed her gaze, around him and to Riddler. She hadn’t been staring at him at all?

“What? How did you figure that out?” Riddler smiled as Harley read him the riot act.

Cobblepot rolled his eyes at the twos antics, “Maurice! Bring the new fish some food!”

Noise could be heard from the kitchen, huh Violet thought - nine guards then.

“Oh come on Oswald don’t be cruel! Look at her!” Nygma chastised as the chef brought out a platter of dead, fully intact fish.

Instead of the usual shrieking the girl stared at it… “This is for me?”

“It’s in front of you isn’t it. Dig in.”

Violet was hungry, and Harleys phone was still charging. She knew she should eat food from people who weren’t her family but it didn’t seem that this came with any strings attached.

- Harley was horrified, the girl was reaching over to grab a fish. She was holding it in her gloved hands, “Hey kid you don’t gotta -“

She bit straight into it. Since when we’re her teeth sharp like that? She was chewing quickly, slurping on guts and swallowing with out hesitation. Like a train wreck Harley couldn’t look away, even as she took her other hand and pulled another fish apart by the ribs.

Oswald laughed and laughed, this was great. He reached over to take a morsel for himself and the girl flinched. Letting the fish drop onto the counter she covered her mouth with her soaking gloves, “Oh, sorry.”

It was the villains turn to stare.

Surprisingly it was Riddler who got over .. all of that .. first, “Why are you apologizing? We told you to eat and you ate. Good job.” He stared over her head to Oswald and mouthed, “Fix this.”

She was still covering her mouth.

The thing about the Ice Berge Lounge was that it was a place that ran on Villains and freakish clientele, this sense of shame simply would do Oswald thought - not here.

“You can keep eating I -“

“It’s okay I’m not hungry.” She said while eyeing the plate.

“Hey bud we already saw your teeth, and we know you’re a meta so you can keep eating okay? Look even Ossy has sharp teeth!”

“Don’t call me that Harls! - But she’s right do eat comfortably.”

The moved her hands down onto her dirty dress, her teeth looked normal now. “I’m not suppose to … I know it’s … ugly.”

Oswald felt enraged, “Look here no one in this lounge is ever going to give you crap about something like that okay kid? So just eat, we’re going to be deal with work so we won’t even look at you Capeesh?”

The kid looked entirely bewildered, Oswald slowly grabbed a fish for himself and swallowed it whole. The girl started eating again and he called it a win.

- Violet continued to eat as the adults talked. She felt mouths water under her skin, she could still smell blood. If it hadn’t been for the one dressed in green she might have not figured it out. But to be fair none of these villains were acting very villainous at the moment, drug deal aside.

It wouldn’t take that long for Harley’s phone to charge… who was she going to call? She definitely couldn’t call dad or Dandy she thought. She knew how mad and disappointed they’d be. And she wasn’t even sure where Billy was…

Alright that leaves seven brothers left.

—- —- —-

All Dandy had wanted to do was go on a nice drive with his brother to pick up their sister. But nooooo his little brother had to pick a fight with a lord of order and a gaggle of side kicks.

The worst part was that Charles and Klarion were utterly enjoying themselves.

“Awww is the Baby League gonna cry?”

Both of them had located Klarion quickly after entering the town, turning into their ghost selves before entering the museum.

Half of the place was destroyed, the entire town was semi floating and Charles was throwing fireballs like it was the only move he knew. At least it slowed the martian down. It was pure havoc.

Dandy saw a blond pocket the necklace. Uhhh, this is why you don’t send Klarion to do a stealth mission. He squared up against the girl, this necklace better be worth it.

- Charles was having the time of his afterlife! He was fighting real superhero’s! … and Dr.Fate.

Unlike his brothers Charles ghost form, lovingly called Danka, wasn’t … fleshy. Instead of a pallet switch, his black hair became black fire and his body discorporated into sizzling unbreakable bone.

Charles laughed as he spotted his brother buzzing around the young Amazonian. Dandy’s specialty was shrinking, collapsing in on himself until he was nothing more than a ball of light. Often confused for the ghost of a fairy instead of a human.

“I got it! Klarion portal us out now!”

Charles whooped out loud, best day ever.

Dandy looked around their new location and held the urge to scream, “Klarion. Where are we? And where is our car?” Worst day ever.

—- —- —-

Billy knew that beating in Dr. Silvana wasn’t a constructive out lit for his anger. But he couldn’t throw a punch at his “co- workers” so this would have to do.

Billy walked down the streets after leaving the reject pediatrician for the police. He knew Fawcett like the back of his hand, even after getting adopted Vlad could never take him away from here. Not that the old man had tried, Billy was almost convinced his family thought the town was his haunt. He slowed down near a drop for homeless kids and stuck a roll of cash inside, all crumpled ones and fives. Maybe they were right.

He kept on walking, staring up at graphite and half finish murals. He couldn’t shake Batman’s words out of his head.

// The three of them had been taken in by Duke Vlad Plasmius at the end of the war. Violet had been promised asylum and adoption for her contributions in battle.

Klarion demanded asylum from the Court of Chaos that had abandoned him and had thrown him into war like a lamb to slaughter. He refused to leave Violets side.

The gods whispered their apologies to Billy. He shrugged this worked for him, they were a packaged deal now.

The trio explored Phantoms Keep like children and played politics like adults. Billy didn’t trust Vlad yet , he knew what adults were like. There had to be an ulterior motive here.

“Vlad! What’s happening what’s going on?”

Violet looked excited. They had all been worked up and dressed up in their finest, which wasn’t saying much. Vlad smiled back at her, “The royal painter is here dear, we are to be cataloged as part of the Royal Family.”

“Us? But-“

“All three of you are to be my children, so all three of you will be afforded the rights of one.” The man kneeled down, actually knelled! It left Billy bewildered. “I can’t promise things will be perfect, and I can’t promise a fairness in the line of succession or anything like that. But I will fight tooth and nail that you are all given the respect and dignity you deserve. So please please let me try.”

Billy could see Klarion waver, and Violet was already sold on the idea. “Okay dad! Let’s go!”

They meet up with their new siblings and all was well. It was a slow and tedious process but both him and Klarion ended up looking good. The human magician was old and stand off-ish but it didn’t matter. He bowed at the appropriate places and was deceptively polite.

… until Violet stood up for her portrait last.

It was all a blur and the painter almost got shanked.

“I’m sorry my Duke, I just don’t see why I have to paint her. It’s not like she’s in any line of power-“

“She is my daughter.”

“Right. Well I just don’t feel comfortable painting someone … like her.”

“Get. Out.” It was a lot easier to believe Vlad after that.//

Billy looked at the city mural and fiddled with his dads credit card inside his pocket. He thought about taking up painting.

—- —- —-

Jazz and Danny don’t get much time together these days, which was fine really. What was a little time apart when they had eternity.

Jazz smiles as Aragon walks into her territory, time to get to work.

—- —- —-

The werewolf stopped in front of the group heaving in anger, “What to scared to fight your own battles blood sucker?”

“I didn’t do anything wrong! I don’t even know you!”

“Liar! My friend dies and you just happen to be in the same area!!”

“Hold on,” Kaldurs voice harden, “Let’s talk this threw calmly. We are actually here investigating a death, if you could give us any information we can take care of this for you. There is no need for undue violence. If -“

The beast man growled, “His name was John Mark he worked in the building you just came out of. Do whatever you want. We know who’s really to blame.”

“I didn’t-“

“Better watch your back bloodsucker! Gggrrr You can’t hide behind the Atlantian forever.” The werewolf bared his teeth one last time before turning away from them.

- Kaldur was left sharing a confused look with Dick. That man had seem ready to hack them to pieces, they had been expecting a fight at least but instead he had spoken as if Kaldur was nothing but a shield. Maybe -

The girl bowed to Kaldur, “Thank you! Thank you so much! I-“

Nightwing stepped in with his easy going persona, “It’s alright you’re safe now. Do you mind if we ask you some questions? We-“

“I didn’t do it! I swear I just got here! I hardly even spend time in the mortal realm!”

“Wait if you hardly spend time here, then how did you know we were heroes?”

Jacks eyes blinked at them, oh shit. “Your heroes?!?!” Fuck fuck fuck

Dick could see the internal panic, “Hey hey it’s okay, just talk to us you’re not in trouble. Here you’re bleeding.” Dick took out his med kit, it would be an ideal time to get a blood sample.

“Don’t! Don’t touch me! You should never touch a bleeding vampire!”

Jack stepped back, god how dumb was this human?

Kaldur was getting worried, “If you didn’t know we are heroes why did you hide behind me?”

The pink dressed mess stared at him, “Do do you seriously not know????”

More bowing, “The stories of Atlantis king are terrifying, no one would be stupid enough to fight one of his subjects … so I kind of used it to my advantage. Sorry.”

Kaldur felt pride swell in chest, “Right.” Kaldur looked at the vampire, they were cute and clever. If only they were a boy Kaldur might, well it doesn’t matter.

“So what were you doing here?”

“I was collecting some flowers for my fright-mate!” A pink bag opened to show off a collection of flower heads, stems, leaves and ziplocks of soil. “She’s sick so I came, into your haunt without thinking.” The stranger flushed.

“Right well you should be wary, especially in places like Bludhaven and Gotham. Also walking around at night is dangerous for girls in these parts, lot of trafficking rings and stuff.” Nightwing debated tacking on a piece about not wanting to see any murders out of her but that felt unnecessary and perhaps a tad to mean.

A confused look took over their face, “But plenty of Vampires live here? And I’m not a girl?”

Well Dick was embarrassed now, Kaldur was just straight up shocked- the surface world really was different.

“Uhhh I should uhhh go… now… sunrise and all that.” She- uh they stepped away from them slowly.

Kaldur reached out, “Wait! What if we need to contact you again? … for the case!”

“Oh here, call for me if you need me. I owe you one for this whole mess I guess- But just one.”

Kaldur held on to the pink headband as the boy speed off.

“Uhhh great now I owe Tim money.”

—— —- —-

Note

For anyone wondering Teekle, Klarions cat, is at home with Vlad.

I can see Billy not trusting Vlad at first only to completely take advantage later.

Yes Tim is definitely a conspiracy theorist that fully believes Vampires live in Gotham.

Dandy hates humans and the painter being a human magician, only add fuel to the fire.

Some notes on Space Camp

Welp, now the movie is out. I have so much I wanna say, but I’ll wait until it comes out on YouTube to rewatch the movie (because the UI on the PBS Kids app sucks) and also I have a college thing to do tomorrow and Saturday, so yeah. More in-depth posts will come later. For now, I’ll just do bullet points (Spoilers abound, obviously)

The writers finally remembered that Face 9000 exists, and he plays a critical role in relaying information about the Deshrinkulum.

The writers, however, forgot that Commander Cressida exists. She’s not brought up once, not even in relation to the Great Galacto. Well, I guess that’s the law of equivalent exchange.

Speaking of the Great Galacto, he seems to be a commentary on YouTubers/social media influencers that do stupid things and have an impressionable young audience. He’s a good guy, though. He’s also Scottish for some reason. Well, Uncle Zucchini is Brooklyn/Joisey, so I’m not complaining.

As I suspected, Jet’s insistence on working alone ends up making things worse for him. Of course, he just wanted to protect Sean, Sydney, and Mindy, but still.

I predicted that Jet would have a “break the cutie” moment in this movie, and I was right. He even cries at one point. Poor thing. It’s even sadder that it happened to such an optimistic character like him.

According to the song “Brother From Another Sunspot Mother,” Jet adopted Sunspot from a litter. Here’s the thing though: in the flashback, Jet looks like the same age he currently does. This goes against what was established in “Sunday Drive.” That Sunspot lived with the Propulsions since Jet was a baby.

The songs in this movie are really great. They go into all sorts of genres too. Ska (Dear Great Galacto), a Disney-style award bait song™️ (Brother From Another Sunspot Mother”), blues (“Super Hyperdrive”), a marching song (“It Takes a Team”), etc

The scenery shows massive improvement. The trees especially look more realistic, instead of looking like stage props like in the TV show.

Stella was handled better than I thought. Contrary to what her actress said, she wasn’t a “villain.” She was just a jerk, much like Mitchell was. She didn’t do anything to physically hurt Jet and the others or anything. And she becomes nicer by the end of the movie.

As for Mitchell himself, well, they didn’t handle them the best. He spends 99% of the movie trying to expose Stella and Jet, and acts like he hates them. He even vilifies them by saying that they’re plotting to take over the world or whatever. What the hell happened here? They just undid all of his character development?

A minor complaint I had about the main show is that there was a small amount of background characters, and when there were, most of them were white. It made it look like Washington had the diversity of a cornfield, when that’s far from the truth. However, in this movie, there are plenty of people of color. For example, Houston is Black, Aurora is Asian-American, and Dr. Chandra is Southeast Asian. Heck, there are even some plus-size characters in the crowd shots. That’s also a good thing, since most of the earthie background characters seemed to have the same skinny body type. Heck, even Stella is a bit brown, and her voice actress is Asian-Canadian iirc.

Dr. Bergs is back, as is Dr. Skelley. Dr. Rafferty doesn’t appear at all. Maybe it’s because her voice actress was too busy or unavailable. Who knows?

Lillian doesn’t appear either. 😔

For those who wanted Mitchlendez or Propulsean shipping moments, you’re out of luck. Mindy sneaks up on Mitchell just for old times sake, and he does lend her his phone at one point, but that’s it. As for Propulsean, Jet and Sean just have standard friendship moments in the movie. Nothing too shippy, and he doesn’t call him “Seanzo” once. It could be for one of two reasons: the crew decided that they hate the ships and tried to remove any “puppy love” subtext between any characters. The other reason (for Propulsean) is that LGBTQ+ characters in kids shows causes major controversies nowadays, more so than usual, with Ron DeSantis and his fascist friends accusing any kids show that includes LGBTQ+ characters of “grooming.” They even tried to take Work It Out Wombats off the air just for having lesbian mothers. Even so, I’m happy if Jet and Sean are just friends.

Aside from the basic plot of accidentally going to space, it doesn’t actually have much in common with the 80s movie SpaceCamp.

That’s all, folks!

I think the pony version of the doctors would get alone with their normal counterparts (for the most part)

Dr Bright and pony Bright, after a state of shock and interest, would immediately start their normal chaos. The Foundation can’t uses the rule of ‘Bright can’t have a hivemind’ as they are two completely different Bright instances. Bright would also try to ride pony Bright across the facility and PB is totally for it.

Dr Clef and and pony Clef would be annoyed by a reality restructuring/temporary break, start fights between each other (both for fun but also cause they got really annoyed with themselves, not overall meant to kill the other) and god help who ever in near them when this happens, and fall asleep in a weird pony human cat pile. I think human Clef would attempt to ride pony Clef though I am unsure if pony Clef would allow this to go on for very long, or how well they could move around cause you got a fat ass on top of a fat ass short legged pony.

Dr Kondraki and pony Kondraki, while I don’t know how either would react to each other for the first time, would engage in sword fights for ‘training’ purposes and get along generally fine. Not getting in each other way to often, maybe have drinks and smoke breaks together. In breaches Kondraki would get up on pony Kondraki and they, just like the two Clefs, are a focus to be reckoned with.

Dr Gears and pony Gears probably instantly accept this is now a thing, neither reacting just taking mental note of one another and continue the day as normal. When they do interact however I think they would just sit around and talk, if they are off work this would go on for hours. Mainly they are asking how their different world work, what’s normal what not, never truly turned off the Foundation’s ingrained idea of gathering as much information as possible. Oh god I think they might have a chess rivalry too, they might start pulling out some of the weirder versions of chess after a while. I don’t think outside of one test to see if human Gears can ride pony Gears neither of them ever do it again unless there was a very good reason to.

Dr Iceberg and pony Iceberg, I can’t see them getting along for long. Initially probably fine; committing arson, incel vibing despite both versions being with their respective Gears, human Iceberg being fascinated with the destructive power of equestrian magic bombs. As soon as human-berg learns pony Iceberg got a promotion its all over, Bright and Clef’s human-pony wars are tame compared to two rage filled Icebergs and one’s got magic and anger blizzard powers. Pony-berg is impossible to ride, his mane at this point is almost all ice, it would be painful and human Julian would fall off or stuck to the other cause the ice fused.

Whumptober 2022 - No. 31 - “You can rest now.”

DarkHawk, T

The Terror AU (Tumblr / Ao3)

Warnings: referenced amputation, major character death, suicide

Ross carefully cleaned the instruments with the melted snow water.

Dr. Goodsir looked over his shoulder. “I really wish we had been able to hold back a bottle of the rum to clean these,” he said with a sigh.

“Would that really help?” Ross asked.

“It is unlikely,” Dr. Goodsir replied.

They both looked over the cots filled with men in the hospital tent. They had performed two amputations today, and there would be another tomorrow morning. The frostbite was getting worse with the warmer weather and longer days. The men would pull their shirts off while pulling the sledges, sweat, and when the sun dipped low in the sky again they were too warm to notice that their skin was dying. So many of the remaining seamen had frostbite and sunburn. The tents were full of groaning and tossing and turning.

At least the hospital tent was quiet, but that was horrible in its own way.

“It is likely that Johnson and Andrews will not live to see the first light.”

“Better than being killed by the creature,” Ross said darkly.

The both were recalling what they had seen a few weeks earlier.

There had been a lead. Captain Crozier had sent a single boat down it with instructions to row for two hours and then turn back.

In the meantime the remaining men had packed up the camp and prepared the whale boats and cutters for travelling by water.

They had waited for 8 hours, but the other boat did not return.

Some of the men thought that those in the first boat had seen open water and had just gone for it. But Ross had a sinking feeling in his chest. They were navy men. And the captain had given an order. And the mutinous Hickey and Manson had stayed with the bulk of the men. Captain of the Foredeck Hoffman would not have willingly disobeyed an order from the captain.

Jim had volunteered for that duty.

—

“Take these,” Jim said, holding out his leather journal with wavy pages and ivory comb.

Ross closed his hand over Jim’s. “No. You’re coming back.”

“Just in case.” Jim pressed the journal and comb into Ross’ hands.

They were sitting in the bottom of the boat that had been emptied in preparation to follow that open lead in the morning.

“No.” But Ross took the book. “I’ll give them back when I see you again.”

Jim smiled, then it faded. “If I don’t come back I want you to make sure my mother knows what happened to me.”

“Tell her yourself.”

“I will. If I can.”

Ross sighed heavily before tucking the journal beneath his layers. “Why did you volunteer?” he asked quietly.

“We both know that I’m a better sailor than you,” Jim teased.

“That explains why you instead of me, but not why you volunteered.”

Jim did not answer right away. He tipped his head back to look at the brutally clear sky and the icy stars that twinkled at them mockingly. “I want out of here. I want to make it home and I could not just sit here waiting while other people followed the lead.”

“And I don’t want out?”

“We both do, but you’re a lot more patient than I am.” A fond expression softened Jim’s face when he looked at Ross. “When it comes to some things. Remember that first time?”

Ross ducked his head. “I remember,” he said with a smile.

—

After nearly two hours following the lead they came upon a lake in the ice. It was so large that they could not easily see the otherside. There was a large berg, big enough that they could tether boats to it and climb to the top, in the centre.

But none of them saw that at first.

That dark blue, almost black water that they had been praying to see for weeks was red. There were places on the edges of the lake where people had tried to climb from the icy water, leaving blood streaks on the ice.

Of the fifteen men from that first boat they only found one full body, a leg, and Hoffman’s head. They had sewn the remains into a bit of sailcloth and weighted it with empty ration cans and given them a proper burial, well, as proper as they could under the circumstances.

That was the last attempted burial they had made on the ice.

Ross had slept that night with Jim’s journal and comb clutched close to his chest.

—

“Do you need anything else?” Ross asked as he put the cruel looking instruments away in their wooden case.

Dr. Goodsir looked around the hospital tent, “That should be it.”

“I haven’t told you, but I appreciate you letting me help. It feels good to be… useful.”

“I needed the help and I am glad that you offered. You have been a great help.”

Ross nodded.

“Get yourself some dinner and some rest.”

“You, too.”

But Ross did not head to the tent that they used as a mess. He had two ships biscuits in his pockets. Supper would not be much more than that.

He walked out onto the ice. He walked until he could not make out the off-white tents from the ice. And then he walked more. Eventually he came upon a cluster of seracs that would protect him from that harshest winds, but it was still cold, it had not gotten above freezing in days, and it would only get colder once darkness descended.

Ross sat down and leaned against one of the ice pillars. He faced the setting sun. He pulled out Jim’s journal and comb and set them beside him. Then he pulled out the biscuits and ate them slowly, quietly.

Then he picked up Jim’s journal. He smiled at the misspellings. Jim could read any book he picked up, but when it came to spelling he was atrocious. The journal covered the preparations for the journey back in England, and the past two years on the ice. The entries became sparse once they abandoned Erebus and Terror to haul sledges south in search of the mouth of the Back River. And then Jim’s spelling became worse, and his sentences were disjointed. Ross had mentioned it to Goodsir and was assured that those were common with scurvy, which all the men were suffering from to various degrees.

He touched the letters on the page and closed his eyes. He imagined Jim saying aloud what he had written down.

The sun was touching the horizon now. Ross tucked the journal and the comb that was warm from his hands into his layers once again. He lay down on the ice, the chill seeping through his layers and into his body. Jim’s journal and comb were between him and the ice, to project it as much as he could.

Ross was asleep before the sun fully set.

He did not wake in the morning.

Dr.Bergs walked down the dark hallway,passing numbered door by door before reaching one he wanted,and knocked. A young lanky man with long black hair opened it ,timid but excited,he didn't say anything but let the old bigger built man on before closing the door "I never done anything like this before,not even with a woman" he chuckled nervously and turned to Bergs who was already seated on the stiff bed behind him "well I feel honored I'm your first~" he gestured for Dexter to come over to him,and he did so,almost stumbling to get there.

Dr.bergs pulled dexter down to his knees slowly and caressed his cheek "I've been wanting to do this for so long now~ I'll make it feel good for you~ for your first time~" he cooed at him and moved his hand up to Dexter's head gently petting him. Dexter stared up at Dr.bergs before looking down to the tent forming in Dr.bergs jeans,Dr.bergs pulled Dexter's head closer,enough to kiss it,the fabric was new and rough on Dexter's face,he reached up,nervously and fumbling around trying to unzippen the pants and pull it out if the boxers opening, it was already solid and hot,it wasn't huge but it was big enough,and very girthy. Dexter quietly gasped and squeezed his legs together and gripped his pajama shorts as he stared.

Dr.bergs gently grabbed himself by the the shaft and put it against Dexter's lips,with a smirk on his face "be careful with those teeth of yours~", Dexter opened his mouth a little,licking his lips a bit to prepare himself and slipped it into his mouth,making sure his sharp teeth didn't scrape Dr.Bergs,it didn't get very far,the moment it touched his throat there was a gag and had to pull away to cough "Ah~ too much?~ don't worry about taking it all~" he rubbed Dexter's head and pulled him back in, Dexter taking in only a little,gently rolling his tongue on it,Dr.Bergs would grunt quietly under his breath,watching The younger man intently.

Dexter grew uncomfortable with his jaw,wanting to close it but not being able too,Dr.bergs saw the discomfort and pulled Dexter's head away from him ,he took a deep breath and quickly shut his mouth and swallowing what ever was left in his mouth. Dr.bergs stood up and lifted dexter up and onto the bed. He began to unbutton Dexter's shirt revealing him,having a happy trailing coming from his shorts and leading up his stomach. Dexter laid his head back and closed his eyes tightly. As he spread his legs he revealed a tent in his shorts with a small wet spot. The sound of a belt being taken off made Dexter open his eyes again to take a look,Dr bergs tossed the belt to the side and pulled his pants down and getting on top of Dexter before removing the shorts. He leaned down and kissed Dexter on the neck,making sure to leave dark marks with every kiss,quiet moans left Dexter as he bucked his hips up into Dr.Bergs.

"So eager~I won't let you wait any more~" He sat up,pulling a small bottle of lube from his shirts pocket and poured some on Dexter's hole,dexter flinched and whined "thats cold!" He whimpered and held Dr.bergs hand and relaxed again. Bergs pressed his tip against Dexters hole and slowly pushing in little by little,he tensed up his body and hugged onto Dr.bergs who was rubbing his back for comfort ,once fully in him he thrusted in slowly and rhythmically "I'm going to get more rough ok?~" followed by a nod from dexter who was red in the face and eyes shut close.

He slowly began to thrust harder, making each thrust pound into dexter making him Moan and yell each time,he pushed dexter into the mattress and giving him sloppy kisses all over his chest and neck.

Dexter wrapped his arms around the older man,and maoning loudly into his ear,Bergs holding dexter by the hips and pulling him in each thrust,making a guttural groan.

Dexter arched his back and yelled before tensing up,he came and it landed on both his and dr.bergs stomachs,and Bergs came in Dexter, they stopped and took heavy breaths,bergs pulling out and laying next to Dexter and holding onto him "good boy~ good~" reaching over to turn off the light and fall asleep

This smoothie provides a comprehensive array of vitamins and minerals, addressing a significant portion of your daily nutritional requirements. Don't fret over the calorie count, unless you have specific medical concerns. Designed to substitute for two meals, it offers greater nutrient density compared to many other meal options. With the addition of bananas and dates for substance, hunger pangs should be effectively managed. Flaxseeds contribute to a sense of fullness and overall well-being, thanks to their omega-3 content, providing a balanced sensation. Calorie info below: 33 (kale) + 84 (kiwis) + 160 (almonds) + 7 (spinach) + 37 (flaxseed) + 60 (nutritional yeast) + 126 (pumpkin seeds) + 282 (dates) + 105 (banana) = 894 calories. The remainder of your day won't compare to the nutritional value of this meal. Feel free to customize the flavor by incorporating your favorite ingredients. Cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and blueberries are excellent options to enrich this smoothie. Experiment with different additions to make it uniquely yours.

For dinner, consider including quinoa as it boasts various essential nutrients such as folate, magnesium, zinc, and iron. Additionally, it's packed with fiber and protein, both of which contribute to a sense of satiety. As for protein sources, you can choose from fish, beef, chicken, (for B12 vitamins). If you eat liver, take care not to indulge in the smoothie for the day. Watch your vitamin A when experimenting with these foods. A modest portion of cheese, or fermented foods like sauerkraut, natto, or Parmesan Reggiano for calcium. Definitely add a small amount of other varieties of greens or root vegetables to aid in good digestion.

Supplement: with but do not add to smoothie: Dr. Berg's Vitamin D3 + K2 is an excellent source of Vitamin D (1250 %) - as cholecalciferol, and Vitamin K (83%) as MK-7. menaquinone-7, Vitamin B6 (1765 %) as pyridoxal 5-phosphate, Magnesium (6%) as magnesium citrate, Zinc (182%) as zinc sulfate In conclusion, feel free to explore diverse food choices for both dinner and snacks. Take an active approach in meeting your nutritional requirements tailored to your individual goals and needs. However, I caution against adopting this diet if you require strict adherence to eating schedules or have concerns regarding blood sugar levels. It's advisable to consult your physician before implementing any alterations to your dietary regimen. * Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and am not certified to give nutritional advise. This is just my own personal study on food for my own health journey.

EXTRA INFORMATION ACCORDING TO CHATGPT: While the ingredients you've listed are all nutritious, there are a few considerations regarding their combination that could affect absorption or digestion:

Iron absorption: Spinach and kale are high in iron, but they also contain compounds called oxalates, which can bind to iron and reduce its absorption. However, the vitamin C in kiwis and the vitamin C-rich fruits like kiwi and banana can enhance non-heme iron absorption from plant sources like spinach and kale.

Calcium absorption: Spinach and kale also contain calcium, but they also contain oxalates, which can inhibit calcium absorption. Almonds, while a good source of calcium, also contain oxalates. However, the calcium in these foods may still contribute to overall calcium intake.

Phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors: Nuts and seeds (such as almonds and pumpkin seeds) contain phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors, which can bind to minerals like zinc and inhibit their absorption. However, soaking nuts and seeds overnight can help reduce these compounds, making the minerals more bioavailable.

Fiber content: All of the ingredients you've listed are high in fiber, which is generally beneficial for digestion and can help regulate blood sugar levels. However, consuming too much fiber at once may cause digestive discomfort for some people. It's important to drink plenty of water when consuming a high-fiber meal to help prevent constipation and promote healthy digestion.

Balancing macronutrients: While the combination of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in your meal can help slow down the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream, it's still important to consider portion sizes and overall balance. Consuming too many carbohydrates at once, even from healthy sources like fruits and vegetables, can still lead to a spike in blood sugar levels, especially for individuals with insulin resistance or diabetes.

Overall, while there may be some interactions between nutrients that could affect absorption or digestion, the combination of these ingredients in a balanced meal is likely to provide a wide range of nutrients and health benefits. It's always a good idea to listen to your body and adjust your diet based on your individual needs and preferences. If you have Are Kiwis good for digestibility? And Why? Yes, kiwis are often touted for their digestive benefits due to several reasons:

High Fiber Content: Kiwis are rich in dietary fiber, both soluble and insoluble. Fiber is essential for maintaining healthy digestion by promoting regular bowel movements, preventing constipation, and supporting overall gut health.

Enzymes: Kiwis contain an enzyme called actinidain, which is similar to the bromelain found in pineapple. Actinidain is known for its protein-digesting properties, which may aid in the digestion of proteins from other foods.

Low FODMAP: Kiwis are considered low in FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols), which are carbohydrates that can ferment in the gut and cause digestive discomfort in some people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other digestive issues.

Prebiotic Potential: The fiber content in kiwis also serves as a prebiotic, providing fuel for beneficial gut bacteria. A healthy balance of gut bacteria is important for proper digestion and overall health.

Antioxidants: Kiwis are rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols, which may help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract and protect against digestive disorders.

Overall, including kiwis in your diet can contribute to better digestion, especially when combined with other fiber-rich foods and a balanced diet. However, individual responses to foods can vary, so it's essential to listen to your body and determine how kiwis and other foods affect your digestive health. If you have specific digestive concerns, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian for personalized advice.
