On the Red-Dirt Road Finale

Pt. 1  

Pt. 2

Pt. 3

Pt. 4

Before, Chop Top whacked MJ in the head to knock her out. While MJ was knocked out, she remembered the things that Pennywise translated out for Jason by accident. ‘Does he really think I’m immature? how does he put up to my actions and reactions?’. MJ was tearing up during her unconsciousness. She didn’t think that Jason would dare to come rescue her; since she’s been disobeying her husband’s request, why would he bother? he could be a free man, the kind that can do his bidding.

In the darkness of her unconsciousness, she heard a loud ringing. “DINNER TIME.” Drayton shouted, as he was ringing the bell. MJ woke up feeling all wet and sweaty; perhaps from the aftershock after getting whacked in the head. “Yer goin’ to love Grand-dad, he’s a one-hitter when it comes to hammerin’ down victims.” Drayton explains. He was expecting a scream or a squeal, however, she was quiet. “What’s the matter, aren’t yeh excited for dinner? I know I am, and grandpa too... which reminds me *to his brothers* HURRY UP YOU SLOW-POKES, IT’S DINNER TIME.” Drayton shouted to his brothers.

***

MJ didn’t move a muscle the whole time, even if Chop Top tries to scare the crap out of her, she wouldn’t flinch. “The bitch is in a depressed state; she thought she can be a hero and save her daughter, but instead, she went down to her fate.” Drayton explained with a chuckle. Bubba stares sadly at MJ, before he walked over to her to wipe away the tears that’s been staining her cheeks. “Good call, Grandpa hated salty brew.” Drayton said.

After MJ’s face was cleaned, Bubba carried MJ all the way to the washtub next to grandpa, where grandpa does a one-hitter, only, he keeps dropping the hammer multiple times. If MJ had the moment to make the mock, she’d say: 'He’s a one-hitter alright, he really hits the floor to its death.' But she’s just accepting her fate. When grandpa got the aim, she was knocked out again.

The Sawyers were going to do more to her, until they noticed that the ceiling is falling apart, and that they’ve all heard a weird noise. The noise was coming from the large pipe. Jason jumped out, making a threatening chi chi and ah ah. Even though Drayton have met Jason before, he couldn’t recognize him under his Hockey Mask. “What’s the big idea! What business do you have?” Drayton shouted at the intruder. Jason first removed his hockey mask then puts it back on. “Ah, Jason is it, what’cha doin’ wearing a hockey mask?” Drayton asked with a fake smile. Drayton was unaware that Chop Top was petrified; he knew that the hockey-masked guy was The Camp Blood Legend.

Jason saw from over Drayton’s shoulder, was his wife with her face in the washtub, then the old creepy man in a wheelchair with a hammer. Jason stared angrily at Drayton. “Oh uh, look... I tell you what sonny, I’ll give you some money, if you just spare us and be on your way.” Drayton said while holding out the money from his pocket. Jason doesn’t give a damn about money, he wanted his wife, alive, so he raised his machete and charged at the boys. Jason successfully stabbed Drayton in the behind, which will give him quite a shock. Drayton crawled under the table in fear. Chop Top gave grandpa the hammer before he cowers in fear. “Bubba, get’em down, he’s no match for you, get’em!” Chop Top yelled out at his little brother. Bubba didn’t want to move a muscle; he gave Jason the friendship bracelet a long time ago, does he really want to kill off his friend? 

While Bubba thinks, he remembers what Malon has told him, about making the choice for himself, and listen to his own heart. Jason shoved grandpa out of the way and caused the wheelchair to roll backwards. Jason cut the binds from MJ’s arms and tries to wake her up. MJ only groans as she’s trying to get out of her unconsciousness, so Jason lifted up his mask and gave her a kiss by the lips, to help her snap out of her unconsciousness. “...Jay?” MJ said groggily. Jason nodded while tearing up. As Jason hugged his wife tight, Chop Top was going to whack both Jason and MJ in the head, with a hammer that he has picked up when Grandpa fell. Bubba saw what his brother is going to do, so he gave his brother a good whack in the head with a lamp to give him a shock. Jason and MJ were shocked to what they’ve just witnessed. “Bubba! You saved our lives?” MJ asked in shock. Bubba nodded while whimpering; he hit his own brother, his own family, but he can’t stand to see his friends get killed, not when Malon will be missing them.

Without the Voorhees or Bubba knowing, Drayton took a grenade from the Nubbins corpse’s pocket and pulled the ring off of it. “Come with us, Bubba; you can relive a happy life, away from your traumatic events.” MJ offered. When Bubba was about to accept, he heard a faint noise from under the table. Bubba then noticed the grenade that Drayton was using, so Bubba squealed at the Voorhees to make them leave, while Bubba goes over to stop the grenade from hitting his friends, even if it means giving his own life for them.

Malon and Aquarius were waiting outside, while Pennywise lays on the sofa to settle his stomach. Then they both heard an explosion. “What was that!?” Malon asked in panic. Aquarius saw that the hideout was about to collapse, so she held Malon in her arms, to prevent her from looking out the bus window. “Is mom and dad back yet?” Malon asked with worry. “Penny, can you sense anything?” Aquarius asked with hope. “I don’t know, I’m still recovering from my tummy ache.” Pennywise answered. Malon didn’t care if Aquarius didn’t want Malon to see, she squirmed out of her grasp and rushed outside. “MOM... DAD...” Malon called out. 

Aquarius rushed out to Malon’s side. “Malon... You’re a big girl now, and I believe it’s time for you to face the music... I don’t think your parents made it out.” Aquarius said sadly. Malon looked up with tears. “NO, my dad is alive, and he’s keeping mommy alive too, I just know it... I can feel it!” Malon said with angry tears in her eyes.

After a few minutes, and the dust is settling, they’ve noticed a large figure coming towards them; Jason was carrying his wife bridal-style out of the dust. “They’re alive, thank God!” Aquarius praised. “MOM... DAD.” Malon shouted out before running towards them with happy tears. Jason puts MJ on the ground so they can both give Malon a heartwarming hug. “Look at us, we’re together again... As a family.” MJ said while tearing up. Then something came to Malon’s mind. “Where’s Bubba?” Malon asked in concern. “I wanted to thank him, and take him home with us.” Malon said. Jason and MJ stared sadly at each other before staring back at Malon. “Sweetie, Bubba risked his life for us, he went down with his brothers; it’s all he ever wanted.” MJ explained sadly. Malon’s mouth was wide open after hearing that. “You mean he’s... No... No... NO...” Malon collapsed down with tears running down her eyes. “That’s not fair, Bubba did not deserve this!” Malon bawled. Jason hated to see Malon crying so hard, but he had to get Malon and MJ onto the bus, so he waved at Aquarius to walk Malon into the bus, while Jason carries his wife into his arms again.

*** 

Once Pennywise was driving, Aquarius took a look at MJ’s injured foot. “I think it’s cute when Bubba tries to fix it with a ‘Hello Kitty’ band-aid, however, it won’t help with the possible infection. When we get back home, we’ll make a stop at my cousin’s place; she performs tetanus shots and other vaccinations. But for now, we have to clean it up and patch it up.” Aquarius said while fixing MJ’s foot.

While Aquarius was cleaning MJ’s foot, MJ and Jason were looking at Malon in the back of the bus. Malon was still upset for what Bubba has put himself into. Jason wanted to join Malon by laying down next to her. He was going to wrap his arm around her, but he assumes that Malon was not in the mood to be cuddled. Until he felt Malon snuggling against him, and wrapped her arm around her dad. Jason also saw Malon tearing up, and is rubbing her face against his side, so Jason patted her head and gave her multiple kisses.

*** 

After Pennywise drove past the border, Aquarius insisted that they stop at the diner for breakfast. However, Malon didn’t want to eat; she was too much in destress to eat. But MJ and Jason didn’t want Malon to not eat, so they both decided to stay with Malon for a few minutes. “You two go ahead, we’ll come in eventually.” MJ said. 

So, once the Grays went in, MJ and Jason sat next to Malon to talk to her. “Sweetheart, we understand that you’re sad over Bubba, but you have to understand that he gave his life for us.” MJ explained. “But why doesn’t Bubba want to come with us? We could have given him a happy life, away from his abusive brothers.” Malon asked with confusion. “He didn’t come with us, because he didn’t want to leave his brothers; they’re his family.” MJ answered. “Even though they’ve been mean to him? Siblings should never be mean to their siblings.” Malon said. 

MJ paused as she tries to think of a response. When she looked over at her husband, something came up. “Let me ask you this Malon, remember when your grandparents came over for a visit, and that they’ve been mean to daddy?” MJ asked. Malon nodded. “Well, mainly grandpa, but yeah.” Malon added. “Well, if my parents offered to take you home with them, would you go? I mean, my dad knew that your dad is a serial-killer.” MJ asked. “Of course not, I love you and dad very much! I know dad kills trespassers, but that’s only because he’s protecting us from harm.” Malon explained. “There you go; even though Bubba was bullied by his brothers, it doesn’t mean he wants to leave them.” MJ explained. 

Malon nodded slowly after hearing the facts. “It doesn’t help to state the fact that he’s now dead...” Malon said. “But I’m assuming that he’s happy in heaven, and he would want me to be happy too... Though, is it alright for me to be sad?” Malon asked. “Of course.” MJ answered while giving her daughter a hug. Jason smiled at his girls for sharing a bond, until his wife pulled his arm to join in the hug. Once the conversation is settled, the Voorhees went into the diner for a hearty-breakfast. 

However, for what Malon has witnessed at the hideout, she didn’t want to eat any meat, so she asked the waitress to hold any meat products; such as sausages, ham, and bacon. “Malon, you love bacon, what’s wrong?” MJ asked. “Clearly for what your kid has been through, she doesn’t want to eat any meat that came from a living creature. So, she chose to live her life as a vegetarian.” Pennywise explained for Malon. “No one was asking you Penny.” Aquarius informed. “Sweetie, being a vegetarian is a big decision; it can be life changing if your body wasn’t used to having protein.” MJ explained. Malon didn’t respond to that; her traumatic event caused her to not have anything to do with murder. 

Jason understands what she’s thinking, if he were in Malon’s shoes, he wouldn’t want to eat meat either, thank goodness for him, he can still eat steak. Jason isn’t too worried; Malon is still young, so she might change her mind about wanting to be a vegetarian... He hopes.

Back in Texas, the construction workers were taking care of the demolition of The Texas Battle Land. When one of the crew workers was eating his sandwich, he heard someone approaching from behind. When the man turned around, he saw a large man in a leather mask. As the man screamed in terror, Bubba chopped him up with a chainsaw. Once the man is dead, he swung his chainsaw around in the air on the road by the abandoned amusement park.

Bonus WIP Wednesday for @writingbutneverfinished​

The first time Reki Kyan heard about the fish-men, it was while hanging from his father's arm. The head of the Kyan clan had been at sea for what seemed like an eternity, as it did every time, as what would make Reki's mother despair and discourage Reki from a similar life of a sailor. The sea takes and takes, making repeated widows even before final death. He smelled of salt, tar, fish, and adventure. His beard was full and wild, coarse even now long enough to fall into curling, several shades brighter red than the hair on his head. His eyes were brighter, the crinkling start of wrinkles at the corner of his eyes deeper, and his laugh louder than Reki ever remembered from before or since. 

Reki and Koyomi (the other girls hadn't been born yet) both dived at him as soon as he entered the door, dirty, damp, reeking to the heavens, and perfect. They hugged his middle, collectively trying to manage to ring him with both of their arm-spans, then each grabbed an arm and egged him on until he lifted them both, shrieking in delight, up off the ground. 

"I would have been home days ago if the sirens hadn't taken us off our course."

He flung Reki off to one side and Koyomi off on the other, triggering more squeals, and moved to greet his wife, letting out a soft "Oof," when Reki ran right back at him and headbutted him in the side.

"Sirens, was it?" Reki's mother had been warm even in her skepticism, welcoming her husband in with loving arms and promises of the stew simmering on the stove as she left room for him to craft his tale.

"Oh yes, 'bout half the crew caught glimpses, razor edge fins breaching the surface, faces reflected in the water that tweren't our own--death pale and smooth chinned with great huge eyes that'd shine like opals 'cept there were no light ta reflect. Cap'n said the sun had burned hot too long and we'd drunk more of our rum than rations called for. Told us our minds were playing tricks, ya know. Dolphins, he said. Pod of dolphins following alongside the ship. Never knew a dolphin ta have a blood red tail, nor a green one, an' a dolphin wouldn't have a face of a man or a woman so beautiful your heart would ache if you saw them straight on, not noticing until later they were the color of the drowned and had three rows of extra teeth. Anyway, sure enough, after a few days of it, I woke up one night in a cold sweat, my heart a hammerin' even though the birth was calm, the barrels secure, and everyone else asleep...everyone else that was but the captain."

Reki let out an obliging, "Ooh," at his father's dramatic pause, face splitting wide in a gap toothed smile in the aftermath, already steeped in the fish story.

 "I go above deck, and I see 'im, hands on the wheel and boots on deck but head somewhere in the clouds, or under the sea if you prefer, and there's this beautiful singing drifting up from the water. I could feel my limbs growing heavy and my mind drift right away to the waves. There were no room for thoughts of danger. The constellations looked wrong, and the winds had shifted if it weren't that we had changed course, but all I could think was that this was how it was supposed to be. The voices were singing and they had a hook in my heart to do whatever they wanted." The older Kyan put a hand to his chest and warbled a few exaggeratedly off-key notes until Koyomi and Reki covered their ears like a good, responsive audience. He grabbed Reki's wrists and tugged his hands away before continuing, "Ah yes, you have the run of it. I summoned a last clear memory of the two of you and your mother, and it put my feet on shore. I clapped my hands to my ears, and though it did not block the noise entirely, I kept thinking of the only sweeter sound...little laughter!" Koyomi and Reki squealed as their father unleashed an all out tickling attack on their ribs. 

The story swelled from there, a hero made as he wrestled the captain from the helm and guided the boat back on course--which, by the rules already laid down, should not have worked once his ears were uncovered, but all Reki ended up remembering were the beautiful, magical, deadly fishmen with the voices that could make you want to follow them wherever they would leave.

Over a decade later Oka would show Reki proof of what he called the angels of the reef, but the stories he told were far different.

AP, via Sportsnet.ca: 

TLANTA — Hank Aaron, who endured racist threats with stoic dignity during his pursuit of Babe Ruth’s home run record and gracefully left his mark with 755 homers and a legacy as one of baseball’s greatest all-around players, died Friday. He was 86.

The Atlanta Braves, Aaron’s longtime team, said he died peacefully in his sleep. No cause was given.

Aaron made his last public appearance just 2 1/2 weeks ago, when he received the COVID-19 vaccine. He said he wanted to help spread the word to Black Americans that the vaccine is safe.

“Hammerin’ Hank” set a wide array of career hitting records during a 23-year career spent mostly with the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, including RBIs, extra-base hits and total bases.

But the Hall of Famer will be remembered for one swing above all others, the one that made him baseball’s home-run king.

It was a title he would hold for more than 33 years, a period during which the Hammer slowly but surely claimed his rightful place as one of America’s most iconic sporting figures, a true national treasure worthy of mention in the same breath with Ruth or Ali or Jordan.

Former President Jimmy Carter, who often attended Braves games, described Aaron as “a personal hero.”

George W. Bush, a one-time owner of the Texas Rangers, presented Aaron in 2002 with the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honour.

Story Time #2

@sheralynnramsey went with Senci, the excitable young kobold who dreams of becoming a hero one day! Here, Senci goes to a festival in Palethorn, his first glimpse into all the good the city has to offer.

Senci ambled through the crowd, eyes darting around in wonder. Having so recently moved to Palethorn, the young kobold thought this to be a miserable prospect. He was torn from his home, the wonderful village of Lannis, and his master, dearest Andric.

But today, things looked up for him, and the future.

The city of Palethorn was a rather squalid and poor city when the kobold first arrived. Senci had been staying at an inn, using the small pouch of gold his master had given him when he left. After a few weeks, the city was improved massively, thanks to the hard, dedicated work of the influx of beastmen seeking work as laborers.

In honor of Palethorn becoming a prosperous, bustling city, the Mayor of Palethorn threw a celebration in the form of a festival. Now in the market square, Senci gazed as crowds of disparate races filled the streets, singing, dancing, eating and drinking. Minstrels strummed away on lutes and harps, trumpets played all throughout, and laughter filled the square.

Everyone looked so happy. It gave Senci hope. Maybe this city wasn’t so bad after all.

A wolfman roared a deep shanty as his friends, two Koutu, laughed along with him, arms around each others’ shoulders. Caterers of various races rushed through the crowd to deliver some of the food off to whichever nobles were too busy or lazy to come down to the square. Guards lined the sides of the streets, speaking softly and laughing to one another.

Senci glanced around, smiling. Although he was happy, he wasn’t sure what to do, or where to go. He had spent so much time hiding away in his room. He was afraid of this city, and its people. He had no friends to make merry with, and all the loud music and shouting was starting to make him feel somewhat embarrassed. Everyone was having a great time with their friends, and here he was in the middle of this crowd, all alone!

“Hey, hey, pal!”

Senci turned to look behind him. A rather old looking Reptilian was walking toward him, holding a mug of ale in each hand.

The kobold looked around him before pointing to himself in question.

“Yeah, you!” The Reptilian walked up to the kobold and stuck one of the mugs out to him.

“’Ere! Join the fun, eh?” The Reptilian had a huge grin on his snout, probably already having sampled the ale extensively. He looked unaware, and was slurring his words.

“O-Oh, thank you sir, but...I don’t drink!” Senci smiled nervously.

“Don’t drink?” The Reptilian looked confused. He took a swig from one of the mugs. “W-Well, well than...why not?”

“Err, well I’m...too young, sir. Not uh, grown up yet.” Senci frowned at that. Technically, he WAS still a child, even though the kingdom basically kicked him out into the streets of Palethorn to live by himself.

“Y-You’re, uh, a kid, eh?” The Reptilian frowned. “W-Wherever’s ya mum at, than? Or uh, pop?”

Senci shrugged, “I lived with a paladin up north, but the kingdom kicked me here when the exile happened.”

The Reptilian’s eyes widened. “They’ve gone and started throwin’ kids out into the streets, than?!” Senci nodded.

“Ah, that’s horrid!” The Reptilian paused. “...so uh, ya sure you don’t want any?”

“No!” Senci said indignantly, “I can’t!”

“Gaha! Good choice, kid! This stuff’ll kill ya!” The Reptilian downed one of the mugs of ale, tossing it to the ground, “Real bad for ya!” Ale coated his chin, dripping down to his clothes.

“Sssso, uh...what’s yer name, what’re you doin’?”

“Senci, and well...I don’t know. Just looking around I guess?”

The Reptilian held out a clawed hand. Senci took it and shook.

“Name’s Vok, kid,” The Reptilian slurred, “Blacksmith. Hammerin’ things, makin’ pointy things n’ armor, ya know.”

It dawned on Senci that he shouldn’t be talking to strangers, much less drunken ones...but hey, there were guards lining the streets all over, and the kingdom forced him to start living like an adult. He had to start acting like one.

“Uhh, mister Vok? I’m kind of hungry.” Vok grinned at Senci.

“Ah, food stand’s right there, kid. Help yerself! Part of the festival. S’all free.”

Senci nodded and made his way over to one of the stands, grabbing a wing of roasted chicken. Vok ambled over and grabbed a pastry.

“S-So uh, you said you were a blacksmith?” Senci smiled at the old man, who nodded, a dull smile plastered on his face as he hungrily devoured the small pastry.

“Mmph, yeah, that’s right...you into that stuff, kid?”

Senci nodded. “Yeah! I wanna become a warrior one day, so I want to learn how to maintain weapons and armor!”

“Umph, youph, ugh...” Vok struggled to speak with his mouth full, eventually giving up and finishing the pastry.

“Sounds like you could use my help, kid!” Senci nodded. “Hmm...I suppose you could learn...I’m gonna need some payment, though. Ain’t nothing personal, I know we’re friends n’ all, but I gotta put food on the table, ya know?” The Reptilian nudged Senci with his elbow and winked.

“Of course! Only...I can’t pay...”

Vok frowned. “Aww, you’re n’ urchin too? Nasty king throwin’ a poor kid like ya out ta dry! Unexpectable!”

“Uhh, unacceptable?” Senci offered.

“Wha...? Ya. S’what I said, innit?”

“...right...uh, anyway, sorry. I don’t have a job, so I can’t really afford lessons. And my funds are nearly spent. I don’t have many days at the inn left...”

Vok slapped the sides of his head. “YER LIVIN’ AT AN INN, AND YER BROKE TOO?!”

The kobold nodded sadly. Vok shook his head in disbelief.

“Horrible! Just horrible! Ah Hell, why didn’t ya say somethin’, kid? You need work AND a place to stay?!”

“Yeah...too bad, I don’t know where to go. Who would even take me? Oh dear, I should message master. He’d be livid if he knew my situation. I didn’t tell him, because I wanted him to think everything was okay, but...I just don’t know what to do anymore.”

“I’ll take ya, kid!”

Senci’s eyes widened. “What?”

“Yeah!” Vok shouted, “I need an apprentice anyway! Instead of chargin’ ya for lessons, I’ll teach ya, then ya can help me around the forge. I’ll even get ya yer very own room. Howabout it?”

Senci felt elation well up in him. It was as if all his prayers had been answered at once. “Oh, really?! You’ll really take me?”

“Yeah!” Vok still had the same innocent grin he had when he first met the young kobold. He seemed quite excited to have a potential apprentice.

“Oh, of course I’ll join the forge! I can’t wait to start working, sir!”

“Gahaha! Great, kid! Here, why don’t ya come check it out? I’ll show ya where yer stayin’!” Senci nodded and quickly followed Vok, who stumbled away from the square and towards the inner city.

Senci followed Vok into his house. From the outside, it seemed quite humble, and the inside seemed no different. It looked to be well maintained, but simple. Most of the furniture was made of wood, and decorations were mostly small baubles, likely bought from the city square.

The kobold followed Vok into another room, small and mostly empty, aside from a chair, desk and bookcase.

“S’not much to look at, I know...but I’ll fix it all full of what ya need! This’ll be where you’re gonna stay! I’ll get a bed, and some drawers for yer clothes and whatnot, and some candles n’ some games or whatever you kids like to do...”

“I’m sure it’ll be great, sir!” Vok smiled at that, rubbing the top of Senci’s head roughly, making the kobold close his eyes.

“Ahh, you’re a good kid, I can tell. You’ll be a great apprentice. Come on, lemme show ya the forge.” The man walked out of the room, Senci right behind him.

The back door opened into a small yard, filled with kinds of equipment that made Senci’s eyes widen.

The giant anvil, the furnace, and the hammer, and the bucket and tongs...it was all there! This was a real, bonafide smithy! Senci quickly ran up to the anvil and ran his hand along the cool surface.

“Oooooh...”

“Nice, innit?” Vok crossed his arms, “I always wanted to be smith, ever since I was a little kid. S’always a good morning when I walk in here and remember I’m living my dream.”

“It’s so cool!” Senci cried, “You have everything! It’s great! When do I get to start working?!”

Vok laughed. “Ah, spirited lad, you are! Well, uh, today’s a festival day, so uh, we’re off you and I. Maybe tomorrow. Actually...we’ve got some shopping to do for ya tomorrow. Ya need a bed and whatnot. The day after?”

Vok yawned, stretching his arms. “Ahh, all that drinkin’ did a number on me. Think I’ll have a quick nap. Go on and have some fun at the festival, if ya want. If I’m not up tonight, wake me n’ I’ll cook us somethin’.”

Before he could turn and leave, Senci wrapped his arms around the man in a hug.

“I was scared that I was going to be out on the streets...thanks for taking me, sir.”

Vok smiled and patted Senci on his back. “Aww, don’t mention it, pal. Just couldn’t believe you were thrown out on yer own like that. Now...I’ll be off to bed. Have a nice day...apprentice!”

Senci waved as the man stumbled into his room, no doubt passing out from all the heavy drinking he did. Vok seemed really nice, and he had solved all of Senci’s problems in one fell swoop. So what if he drank a little?

The kobold took a few minutes to gaze at all the smithing tools, touching and playing with the tongs before walking back out to the festival. He could hardly believe his luck. He got lodging, a job, and a friend, all in under an hour.

Today was a good day.

That’s #2 down! There’s about four left, I believe.

Rest East Hank. He were my hero as a kid, I watched him chase the record under the most intense pressure I had ever seen. The death threats, the lack of respect for his talents and abject and subtle racism he was subjected too just rolled off his back and he kept slugging. Hank Aaron handled it all like a KING. The most consistent power hitter to ever play the game. So under rated for long. His swing was beautiful . He will forever be the Home Run king in my book. He was a man of immense grace. His dignity was unquestionable, his nobility remarkable. The Hammer was my favorite and is still my favorite baseball player of all time. Rest In Power Hammerin Hank Aaron 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXLvudgEg6/?igshid=1i1txpy0o0q86

Hank Aaron

I just read that Hank Aaron died. Hammerin’ Hank. He might not have had a problem with a steroid user breaking his home run record, but I do. Hank is still the king in my book. He played in the south in the early 70’s and he was chasing after a revered record that belonged to a revered white guy. Racist America made his life pretty miserable but he stood tall and did his job like the hero he…

I wanna talk about the way LEGO Nexo Knights handles gender

(Yeah I know, what an unbelievably dorky thing to write a post about)

Nexo Knights has a weird pseudo-medieval setting with a mix of modern and futuristic tech thrown in. It very much runs on rule-of-cool. Despite all the glowy lights and robots, it fills LEGO’s castle theme slot for the year. 

Nexo Knights has two main women characters:

Macy Halbert and her mom, Queen Halbert.

Unfortunately, Pseudo-Medieval-Europe means chivalry and gender roles. The first episode of the tie-in cg show actually deals with this. King and Queen Halbert try to discourage Macy from joining the Nexo Knights, and want her to be more prim and proper, but she actually gets a cool moment where she comes to rescue the rest of the Nexo Knights (she was delayed by her parents) who are surrounded by baddies.

Also, side note, their names are literally Macy Halbert(Mace + Halberd) and, get this, Hammerin Halbert. Queen Halbert’s parents named her “Hammerin”(no apostrophe). This is in keeping with every main character being named after their signature weapon(Clay Moorington uses a Claymore, Axl uses an Axe, and so on)

Also, In contrast to his wife, King Halbert is a total softie who rings his hands and worries while his wife gets down to business and beats robots with other robots:

On the Villain side, there’s one woman: Lavaria

Despite being clearly a seductive succubus type creature, being rendered in lego means I’d be fairly comfortable with little girls playing with this toy. Also, she has visible abs. She’s clearly a warrior, and to the extent that she’s intended to be ‘sexy’, she’s a physically strong kind of ‘sexy’. 

Characters are fun, but what about the toys?

Well, Macy is basically just ‘another one of the guys’ as far as toys are concerned. She gets a hover horse, an “Ultimate” form, and a transforming car thing, just like all the other knights, etc. 

Notably, her minifig(like all named characters) has an alternate face, One face is just a confident neutral sort of pose, but the other side, she’s angry and battle damaged:

Every knight’s alternate face sort of represents their character(the joker is laughing, the lady’s man is winking, the hero is determined, etc). Macy is a fighter, through and through. Also, her ‘stats’ page lists her as the third strongest(7/10), second coolest(8/10), and second most chivalrous(9/10)

Next, Queen Halbert. Every set Queen Halbert appears in has her getting captured and kidnapped:

70325 Infernox Captures the Queen

70349 Ruina’s Lock and Roller (Ruina is also a female character but she hasn’t shown up in the show yet, so we know nothing about her)

On the other hand, both times she’s not just sadly waiting for a rescue, but actively fighting to break free. Also, she has cool gold armor in 70349.

Lavaria’s fairly uninteresting aside from the fact that she got her Ultimate form released as a physical toy six months before either the main(male) villain or the (male) evil commander did. her Ultimate form is also probably my favorite one:

Most other Ultimate forms are just the same character in a fancy suit of armor with impractical weapons. Lavaria’s is KICK ASS.

Onto the men:

Including Macy, the team dynamic of the main characters is as follows:

Macy (Aggressive Loose Cannon Berserker)

Clay (Noble Heroic Knight)

Aaron (Witty Prankster)

Axl (The big dumb strong guy)

and Lance (Prince Charming from Shrek, basically)

I wanna talk about Lance. He’s a ladies man who hits on anything that moves and spends pretty much all his down time ‘relaxing’ with manicures, massages, doing his hair, shaving, or other hygiene and beauty related tasks. Sometimes the other guys give him crap for being soft or girly, but it’s never more than idle joking, and he’s easily as 'manly’ as any of the others in terms of combat prowess and such.

The dynamic among the knights is sort of a ‘locker room’ thing with a group of guys hanging out while preparing for rigorous physical activity. Naturally, sometimes things get a little awkward around the only girl on the team, but the show is aimed at prepubescent kids, so it’s very light.
