Thoughts on Mars placements 
!! everything is based purely on my experiences with signs, written with no other purpose than to share my observations and be unserious.
Aries mars. Practical jokes lovers, gentle touch haters. Hit u while laughing. Love the banter, sometimes a lil too much. Go for it (whatever it is) fiercely and without a single backthought. Explosive in conflict, but in a sense of crying screaming throwing up banging against the wall. 
Taurus mars. Life could be on Mars but they still be going on and on about that one thing. Sudden outbursts of anger. It might seem out of the blue but they’ve probably been brooding some hurt for a long time. They just hoped it’d go away… naturally. Also surprisingly horny. 
Gemini mars. Mind fuckers. That one guy defending polygamy «as a concept» rather too enthusiastically. Can talk their way out of hell with one leg already in the hottest boiling cauldron. I suppose it’s a placement most people will find charming at some point (says a lot about society…). 
Cancer mars. Rumors are true, the sky is blue, and they are manipulative. Watching anybody else display vulnerability is the same as watching a children’s play to them. Ur rawest and most disturbing moment? To a cancer mars its a chill Tuesday morning. Humanization of a silent treatment. 
Leo mars. You’d gather that its serious by the sheer scale of their reaction but I promise its not. 9 times out of 10 will cause a huge scene and won't be able to remember it 2 days after. Very defensive. Won't put themselves out there if they’re not guaranteed a 10-minute standing ovation. 
Virgo mars. They believe that they make sense but usually they don't. They’re calculating but it’s like they do it backwards resulting in some of the most unhinged decisions made. Want to be praised for… um… existing as they are. Kind of a menace in conflict. 
Libra mars. If u think it's hard for you to wait for them to make up their mind imagine how they feel. It’s similar to watching a plant move without a time-lapse. Cry when they’re angry. Go with the flow not because they’re chill but more cause it's easier for them. 
Scorpio mars. They ARE vengeance and I'm scared. Slash 3 tires after one fight mars. Not the person you’d try to make jokingly jealous. For further information read the lyrics to… really any Taylor Swift song. 
Sagittarius mars. Don't think before they do and think after they’ve done smth only if u make them. The kind of people that will try everything once just to know how it feels (and then present that to everyone as if they’ve found god by bungee jumping one time). Very easy to dare. Also are always checking someone out. 
Capricorn mars. Blood is cold, the heart is beating twice per minute. ISN’T IT lonely on top of the world fellas??? If u get them to like u your love language better not be words of affirmation. Instead of arguing chances are high they disappear for a while or just go into a rock regime. 
Aquarius mars. Are only attracted to intellectuals so naturally in a room full of sweet gentle people will go for the most narcissistic motherfucker out there. They’re sorta very patient but I feel maybe it's just them dissociating… Ponder a lot before making a move. 
Pisces mars. I'm afraid no one knows whats going on there. It's like they’re never actually present. Therefore often times can have a delayed reaction to smth, which people might read as passive aggression. Very sentimental, will write u a song or a poem on a second date. Also low LOW energy.

Do you accept asks? It's okay you can just delete this if you don't. So I've been detaching from ego and at times I feel at peace, then the ego is triggered and I'm back to being anxious. I think I'm expecting this "special" experience to happen like this euphoric feeling, cause I know that I'm not the ego, or whatever it thinks or feels, but I guess I'm expecting the thoughts and feelings to stop completely. And they're still here. Which makes me feel like I'm not detaching correctly lol. Do you mind sharing how you were able to let go of your ego for good? Thanks!
See, I think that many of us will continue to make use of a body, concepts and live in a world of perception, so really, ego will still be there in some shape or form. What you really need to realize is that you are not it.
To understand ego is to understand time. Through life when we operate as a body, we learn concepts, we learn rules, we learn structures, and that's how ego gets shaped. It is used to navigate life. You know that if a car is driving at high speed, you should not cross the street, that's ego. You have learned social qeues so that you can interact with others, that's ego. "If ___ happens I should do ___". It's a literal program. Now, all ego knows is illusory, because it's the past, it no longer exists. You see life through the past, you aren't really in the now, so really what does ego know? How can ego be helpful in the now if it only operates based on something that does not exist?
Say you were betrayed by a friend. What does the ego do? It feels like its sense of identity has been menaced, so it has to defend itself. It internalizes this experience, it keeps the memory and uses it as its favorite accesory. Friends are fake, you're unlucky and everyone betrays you, you need to keep your defenses up. Not only are you giving yourself this identity, but also your friend, perpetuating the whole story thinking that keeping such memory alive in the now, will bring you a different future and keep you safe in the present.
You wouldn't dare forgive your friend. They deserve your cold stare and hatred. What if you thought about forgiving them? Forgiveness not in the conventional way, but in a new meaning. Forgiveness being an act of correction. What forgiveness really is, is the realization that the betrayal was illusory, it was never real, your friend is innocent. Your ego would feel so frightened by the sole idea, it will feel so vulnerable and unprotected. But you can't really stop identification with your own identity, while also keeping alive the menacing stories you have of seeming others. They're not separate from you and how you see them, directly affects you.
As long as you keep alive your labels of this world, its people, the body, you will still continue to need that ego that created this world. It will keep you bound.
The reason why I think mentioning other people is important, is because seeming others is one of the reasons ego exists. Ego sees others as an enemy. You can let them close, but not too much. As long as you keep stories of others, it will have an effect on you. You can't get rid of your own stories and keep others' alive. Because imagine again your betrayer friend, say you think you successfully "let go of your ego" and the friend comes into frame again, you still hold their story, what will happen? What you mentioned in your ask, ego gets triggered, and what does it bring back?? Correct, your identity of being an unlucky person who has fake friends.
This applies for everything you have learned about this world, society, science, objects, history, all of it. None of it is the now. Continuing to see life through those lenses, is to keep the past alive.
So, to conclude ego=past learnings. If you realize all is now, ego becomes useless. If you trust and surrender to your true nature, you can learn to live as God/imagination/consciousness, and cease the contract with the ego.
It's not linear. Personally I'm not a huge fan of trying to rush things, I enjoy patience. Which brings me to my favorite ACIM quote "infinite patience, brings immediate results".
Also, something fun that not everyone on here might be a fan of, challenge yourself to do things you don't usually do because it's soo "out of character". Say you ask for dark coffee every day, now choose the craziest drink in the menu you can think of. Say your bed sheets are always dark colored, buy a bright colored one. Do/say something that makes you cringe. Dress in a way you would never 😈. It's very funny, I do it every day lmao. Challenge your perception of self. If you feel like you can't, start by imagining it. Imagine yourself doing out of character stuff. You'll see you'll naturally stop being the character.
Disclaimer: as I mentioned at the beginning, most likely you will continue to make use of a body, therefore don't put it in situations of danger. It still has to eat (because I've seen some people asking about eating in imagination 🥴), it can't fly, don't cross the street without looking both ways. This work is mental, so don't feel the need to prove something in the "physical", that's very foolish to do, considering that you probably are still attached to the body and your concepts of it and of this world. Meaning it can be endangered if you try to defy those concepts.

Flash Character Descriptions
Jason Peter "Jay" Garrick (Flash #1): Jay Garrick was a brilliant chemistry student at Midwestern University when he gained his super speed. During a laboratory experiment with hard water (later retconned to heavy water), he worked long into the night and then decided to take a smoke break. In the process of lighting up his cigarette, he knocked over the beakers of heavy water he had been experimenting on, and was overcome by the fumes. The next morning, his professor took him to the hospital, where he woke up several weeks later. Not only had he suffered no ill effects from the inhalation of the gas, he now also had super speed!
After using his speed to win a football game and impress his crush, Joan Williams, Jay went on to graduate from college and become a scientist and professor, while fellow-graduate Joan (also a science major) went to help her father, Major Arthur Williams, develop an "atomic bombardier".
After reading about the crime that was plaguing Keystone City, Jay decided to do something about it. He donned an outlandish outfit (complete with his father's old World War I helmet), and started using his super speed to fight crime. Not too long after, Joan, who had known about Jay's speed basically from the beginning, went to him to ask him for his help in rescuing her father from some evil scientists who had kidnapped him in the hopes of getting ahold of his atomic bombardier. Jay succeeded in rescuing him, and from that point on, Jay and Joan would work together to help the Flash protect Keystone City.
Jay Garrick was a very intelligent young man, and a competent scientist, but he was also very light-hearted and was a bit of a prankster (something which came through in his fights with various criminals). He used his speed very creatively, and he was also well-versed enough in science to know how to best apply his speed to a given situation. In this sense, he was something of a mix of the two Flashes who would succeed him. Jay was very close to his girlfriend Joan, and he kept no secrets from her. The two of them worked together in tandem as a crimefighting team, and, as noted above, Joan was in on Jay's identity as the Flash from the start. (Jay disguised his maskless face by vibrating his face so fast that his features couldn't be properly recognized.) Jay was good-natured and kind, as superheroes tend to be, and it wasn't long before he started teaming up with other superheroic types to achieve even more good than he could have on his own.
Jay was one of the founding members of the Justice Society of America, and he helped them defeat such menaces as Vandal Savage and the Injustice Society of the World. More importantly, however, he and the JSA also fought against the Axis forces throughout WWII, both in the field and on the home front. Jay was, and is, very devoted to the defense of freedom.
When he wasn't fighting Nazis with the JSA, Jay was gathering his own collection of costumed criminals. The most prominent of them all was the Thinker (Clifford DeVoe), a former district attorney who turned to a life of crime after he failed too many cases, and who used his incredible mental powers to mastermind crimes and fight the Flash, but Jay also fought the Fiddler (Isaac Bowin), a man whose Stradivarius violin could weaponize sound, the Ragdoll, a thief who was also an expert contortionist, the Thorn (Rose Canton), a supervillainess with a case of Hollywood Dissociative Identity Disorder and the ability to control plants, and the Shade (Richard Swift), whose single appearance in the Golden Age gave very few hints of the immortal, shadow-controlling gentleman adventurer he would become under the pen of James Robison.
Jay also became friends with a trio of Three Stooges rip-offs named Winky, Blinky, and Noddy. While they weren't terribly bright, they were devoted and loyal friend to Jay and Joan, and they did their best to help the Flash in his efforts to stop crime.
After the end of the war, the JSA went into semi-voluntary retirement after totally-not-HUAC-we-promise tried to force them to reveal their secret identities to the government, and Jay Garrick married his long-time girlfriend, Joan. Unfortunately for him, the Thinker, the Fiddler, and the Shade had one last plot in mind...one which trapped the entirety of Keystone City, including Jay and Joan, in frozen stasis for decades. (At least, that's the Post-Crisis explanation. Pre-Crisis, Jay Garrick lived on an alternate Earth from Barry Allen, and was spurred back into action on hearing that Shade, Fiddler, and Thinker had escaped from prison and gone on a crime spree.)
Jay came out of retirement on the day he met his successor, Barry Allen. Barry, who was a huge fan of Jay Garrick and collected the comics that had been written about Jay's adventures, either accidentally vibrated his way to Earth-Two or found Keystone City and freed Jay, and it, from the stasis in which they had been locked for so long. The two Flashes then teamed up to defeat the trio of villains who were causing trouble, and from that point on, Jay Garrick and Barry Allen were close friends and allies, with Jay serving as something of a mentor to the younger Flash. He helped to reform the Justice Society of America, and he threw himself back into superheroics (something his wife, Joan, supported completely).
Jay Garrick is now one of the elder statesmen of the DC Universe. He's humble, approachable, and very wise, but he still has a twinkle in his eyes and a spring in his step. Everyone in the superhero community likes and respects Jay, and even his villains have come to have a grudging admiration for their long-time foe. Jay is also the most polite man in the DC Universe, and he is well-known amongst the younger heroes for his insistence that everyone keep their language G-rated.
Jay is very protective of younger heroes, and has served as a mentor for dozens of them, including Barry, Wally, and Bart. Jay is close friends with the Green Lantern Alan Scott, and has been for decades upon decades. While Alan is rather more ambitious and driven than Jay, the two of them nevertheless work very well together.
Jay and Joan are still married, and they are as in love as they were on the day they were married. Their marriage is rock-solid, and they almost never keep secrets from one another. In fact, I think they have the healthiest relationship in all of comics, and other superheroes in-universe often cite them as the model they hope to follow for their own marriages. Both Jay and Joan currently teach science at local universities, and neither of them seems particularly interested in retiring. Which is impressive, since they both have to be like 110 years old by this point (a perennial problem for characters who have important backstory ties to WWII).
Jay is very, very competent in the use of his powers, and he is still very fast, but his advanced age has cut his speed to some degree, and it severely affects his stamina. He can't run for nearly as long as the younger Flashes can---but he can mostly make up for these delays through his extensive experience.
Joan Williamson-Garrick: Joan Williamson, like Jay Garrick, studied chemistry at Midwestern University. She was the daughter of Major Arthur Williams, whom she would work for as a scientist after her graduation. Although Joan was initially dismissive of Jay due to his lack of football skills, she quickly warmed up to him, and was in on the secret of his super speed, and his identity as the Flash, from the beginning. She was a very intelligent, competent, and resourceful ally in his fight against crime, and the two of them were devoted partners and friends for the entirety of his Golden Age career.
The two of them were married in Las Vegas, and, after Jay's retirement, lived a peaceful life together for many years (possibly being frozen in time for awhile at some point, depending on which origin you go by). Joan worked a science professor at a local university, much like Jay, and the two of them were mostly very happy together (in spite of the tragic death of their adopted son). When Barry Allen arrived on the scene, Jay came out of retirement with Joan's complete support. She and Jay would quickly befriend Barry and Iris, and they often helped to advise the younger couple.
Joan Garrick is a sweet, loving woman, and she is something of a grandmother the superhero community (and particularly the Flash family). She is an excellent cook and is especially good at making cookies, and she is great at giving advice to anyone who will ask her. She also has a good sense of humor, much like her husband, and seemingly endless patience (vital for anyone who frequently deals with young super-speedsters).
Joan is also very clever and brave in her own right. Much like her husband, she is a science professor, and in her younger years, she faced down numerous criminals alongside Jay. She is not by any means weak or a pushover, even if she has slowed down a bit because of her age. Joan is Jay's equal in every since of the word, and the two of them have a happy and healthy marriage.
Bartholomew (formerly Barrence) Henry "Barry" Allen (Flash #2): Barry Allen was born to Dr. Henry and Nora Allen in the small Midwestern town of Fallville (he also had a secret twin named Malcolm who was taken from his parents at birth and who would grow up to found the lineage that would eventually produce Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, because comics). He grew up reading comic books about his hero, the Flash (Jay Garrick), and playacting as the Flash with his next-door neighbor and childhood sweetheart, Daphne Dean (who would grow up to become a famous movie star). After he graduated from Fallville High School, Barry went on to attend Sun City University, where he would earn a degree in forensic science.
Barry was hired as a police scientist by the Central City Police Department, and thus moved to Central City, where he met reporter Iris West (she worked for Picture News). Their first date was on the fourth of July, and Barry would eventually propose to her when both of them were riding a Ferris Wheel at a local fair.
Barry got his super speed when lighting crashed through the laboratory window at police headquarters, struck him and a nearby shelf of chemicals, and gave him a bath in some random chemical compounds. Showing some truly horrible lab safety skills, Barry brushed off both the lightning strike and the chemical bath and decided to just go home. After his attempt at hailing a taxi failed, he tried to chase after it---and discovered that he, like his idol, Jay Garrick, now possessed super speed.
After creating a costume, which he would store in a special compartment in his ring, Barry became the second Flash and started fighting crime, and it wasn't long before he started collecting a whole group of costumed criminals, from Captain Cold and Weather Wizard to Gorilla Grodd and Abra Kadabra. He also gained a sidekick in Iris' nephew Wally West when the same accident that had given him super speed repeated itself to give super speed to Wally.
Unfortunately, Barry had a bad habit of keeping secrets from people he cared about. He waited several months to tell Wally his true identity, and he didn't tell Iris that he was the Flash until a year after they married (consciously, anyway....Iris learned the truth on their wedding night when Barry talked in his sleep). He had no malicious intent in doing so, but it is something of a habit of his to keep his problems close to his chest and not talk about them to his loved ones, and sometimes this habit comes back to bite him.
Barry Allen is a very talented and effective police scientist. He's slow, careful, methodical, and patient, both as a scientist and as the Flash. His extensive knowledge of science allows him to use his speed in a variety of useful ways, and he is, of course, very fast. However, due to his scientific mindset, he struggles to use the Speed Force as freely as Jay and Wally, and he cannot access all of the abilities that they possess (such as the ability to create costumes out of the speed force or to lend and steal speed).
In his personal life, Barry is a loyal and devoted friend, but he has a small and rather eccentric social circle. Besides his vivacious wife Iris, to whom he is devoted, this social circle includes his parents, Daphne Dean, and Wally West, but it also includes the Elongated Man (Ralph Dibney) and his wife Sue Dibney, Iris' absent-minded adoptive father, Professor Ira West (a brilliant physicist), his twelve-year-old neighbor and fellow comic enthusiast Barney Sands, college student Stacy Conwell, Dexter Myles, the retired Shakespearean actor who runs the Flash Museum, Detective Frank Curtis, scientist Mack Nathan and his son Troy, Eric and Fran Russel, Iris' biological parents, who live in the 30th century (because comic books), and, perhaps most bizarrely of all, Dr. Albert Desmond, one of his supervillains who reformed and became his close friend, and Albert's wife Rita.
Barry is of course also a founding member of the Justice League of America, and he is friendly with most of his colleagues, but Hal Jordan (the Silver Age Green Lantern) is the only one of them who really seems to be his friend outside of work, and he does not get along at all with the Green Arrow (Oliver Queen).
Barry is a total dork. He has a crew cut and wears bow ties. He loves comic books (his collection is truly astounding to behold) and attends comic conventions regularly, and he is incredibly knowledgeable about the JSA. Furthermore, science, in addition to being his job, also seems to be one of his hobbies, and he really loves being able to teach science to kids ("Flash Fact!"). Barry is generally very good with children, and he was an excellent mentor and loving father figure to Wally West, who really needed a father figure growing up.
Barry is apparently a restless sleeper, as he both sleepwalks and talks in his sleep. (Weirdly, this is a trait he shares with his enemy The Top. Roscoe also talks in his sleep.) He is also afraid of roller coasters and likes to go to masquerade parties dressed as himself (that is, the Flash). He is a hard worker, but he is always, always, always late, something that occasionally draws ire from his superiors---particularly the punctuality-obsessed Darryl Frye---and sometimes draws ire from Iris as well.
Due to a long, convoluted series of events that I don't really feel like explaining right now, Barry and Iris have children in the 30th century---a pair of twins named Dawn and Don Allen. Dawn and Don are the superheroes called the Tornado Twins, and both of them end up being killed due to the machinations of the evil President Thawne (who is not the Reverse-Flash, or Barry's evil twin, but rather a descendant of them both). However, before they died, both of the twins married and produced children of their own. Dawn married a man named Jeven Ognats and had a daughter named Jenni, who would ultimately become the superhero XS and a member of the Legion of Superheroes. Don, meanwhile, married Meloni Thawne, the daughter of President Thawne (who was not evil, unlike most of the rest of her family), and had a son named Bart Allen, who would eventually be sent back to the present and become the superhero Impulse. I hate the Flash family tree so much (even though I like most of the characters involved)....
Barry Allen died saving the Multiverse during Crisis on Infinite Earths, and was dead for over 20 years of real-world time, but he was brought back to life in 2008 during the Final Crisis Event, now with stupid retcons to his history that I like to pretend never happened. (His now famous origin wherein the Reverse Flash killed his mother and framed his father for the crime wasn't introduced until 2009. For comparison, Barry Allen debuted in 1956!) I'm not upset he's alive again, since I like Barry a lot, but him being back does kind of confuse a lot of the stuff regarding the future stuff with his kids and grandkids (since initially, Iris lived out several decades in the future after Barry died, raised her kids, saw her grandchildren be born, and then went back to the present with Bart to save him from his accelerated aging). And that was confusing enough as it was!
Iris West-Allen: Iris West was born in the 30th century to Eric and Fran Russel. Unfortunately, the Earth of the 30th century was on the brink of a nuclear war, so Eric and Fran, desperate to save their baby, sent her back in time to the 20th century, whereupon she was adopted by Professor Ira West and his wife, Nadine West.
Iris has three siblings: an older brother named Rudy (Wally's father), an older sister named Charlotte (who mothered Iris' niece Inez), and a younger brother named Daniel (who fathered Wallace West). Unfortunately, both of Iris' brothers would prove to be less than upstanding men, and so Iris had to provide a lot of support and love to her nephews, who weren't getting it from other sources.
Iris earned a degree in journalism from Columbia University, and, after touring the world with the money her father had earned from his many patents, she settled down in Central City and became a reporter for Picture News. Iris is a determined, clever journalist and is one of the most respected reported in Central City.
Her journalism job also introduced her to Barry Allen (they met at a crime scene), with whom she hit it off. The two quickly began dating and soon fell in love with one another (even if Iris was often frustrated by Barry's constant tardiness). When the Flash arrived on the scene, Iris dutifully reported on his activities, not knowing that her slow and lazy fiancé was also the Fastest Man Alive. W
When Rudy sent a ten-year-old Wally to live with Iris for the summer, Iris introduced him to Barry, who in turn "introduced" Wally to the Flash. Wally would become Kid Flash on that same vacation, but, sworn to secrecy by Barry, he didn't tell Iris.
Iris learned that Barry was the Flash on their wedding night (since Barry talked in his sleep), and she took the news surprisingly well, all things considered. Once she was in the know, she became a very capable confidant, and aided Barry in his career as the Flash.
Iris is fiery, passionate, and full of energy. She is driven and determined to achieve her goals, and she's almost totally fearless, but she can also be very loving, supportive, and caring to the people she's close with. Iris is very good with children, and she is a wonderful and supportive aunt to Wally, Wallace, and Inez (who's only had one appearance but is included for completion's sake). Iris is also much more of an extrovert than Barry is, and she spends a considerable amount of time dragging him out of his own head.
In addition to being an excellent journalist, Iris is also a talented cook and personally sponsors a number of charities throughout Central City (which benefit greatly from her Flash-y husband's fundraising abilities).
In spite of not having any superpowers, Iris is nevertheless surprisingly competent and daring in a fight, and has helped her husband take down criminals more than once in the past.
Unfortunately for Iris, she also has an obsessive stalker in the form of Eobard Thawne (Professor Zoom the Reverse-Flash), who attempted to force her into marriage with him multiple times, and ultimately killed her by vibrating his hand into her brain after she rejected his latest proposal of marriage. Her life was ultimately saved thanks to her 30th-century adoptive parents, who managed to transfer her soul into a cloned body right before she died, but it would be years before she and Barry were reunited...only for Barry to die again not long afterwards.
Iris spent a few decades in the future, raising her children, Don and Dawn Allen, but ultimately returned to the present with her grandson Bart Allen to save him from the hyper-accelerated aging his super-speed had induced. In the present, she reunited with Wally, met his wife Linda, and eventually reunited with a resurrected Barry.
Aaaaand then Flashpoint happened and erased their marriage, and they basically had to go through their entire relationship again in the New 52 and Rebirth era. Boo! Boo I say! (Note that Daniel and Wallace West did not exist before Flashpoint. However, it's not too hard to fit them into the pre-Flashpoint timeline if you squint, and that's basically what I do in my headcanon.)
Wallace Rudolph "Wally" West (Flash #3): Wally West was born to Rudolph and Mary West in the very small town of Blue Valley, Nebraska. Unfortunately, neither of his parents were loving or supportive of him, and his father was outright physically abusive to young Wally (although he was unfortunately just clever enough to not leave any obvious bruises). Wally was therefore a rather lonely child, with his Aunt Iris and his Grandpa Ira serving as his main sources of love and support. He also befriended a young girl named Frances Kane, who also lived in Blue Valley and whose mother was about as much fun to be around as Wally's father.
When the Flash (Barry Allen) came onto the scene, Wally became the Flash's biggest fan. He was the president (and only member) of the Blue Valley Flash Fan Club, and, as such, he was ecstatic when, during his tenth summer, his parents sent him to live with his Aunt Iris for awhile in Central City. He loved his Aunt Iris, and he loved the idea of getting to meet the Flash almost as much.
Iris promptly introduced her nephew to her boyfriend Barry Allen. Wally was not impressed by the dorky police scientist at first...but then Barry Allen told him he knew the Flash, and that he could introduce Wally to him, which he promptly did.
Wally inundated the Flash with questions, but before the Flash could answer any of them, lightning crashed through the window, striking both Wally and a shelf full of chemicals that Barry Allen kept in his apartment and spilling some of the chemicals onto Wally. (It was the Silver Age. Don't ask.) Wally immediately gained the same super-speed as the Flash, and the Flash promptly offered to make Wally his sidekick, Kid Flash. Wally eagerly agreed.
Wally worked alongside the Flash on big cases, but he also worked on his own as Kid Flash in Blue Valley quite often, keeping in touch with his mentor via mail. Barry, now confident that he had chosen the right sidekick, revealed his secret identity to Wally, and from that moment on, Barry became the father figure Wally had always wanted but never really had. Wally loved and idolized Barry, and the two of them became very close--especially after Barry married Iris and became Wally's uncle (and his parents went through a messy divorce).
As Kid Flash, Wally would eventually join up with Aqualad, Robin (Dick Grayson), Wonder Girl (Donna Troy), and Speedy (Roy Harper) to form the Teen Titans, a group of young heroes whose roster would expand considerably over time and eventually come to include Frances Kane, who started demonstrating innate magnetic-controlling abilities in her teens. As part of the Teen Titans, Wally would gain many close friends and a considerable amount of superhero experience. He and Dick Grayson became especially close to one another, and Dick would ultimately be the best man at Wally's wedding.
When Wally turned 18, he enrolled in college, and planned to eventually retire from the superhero life altogether (due in part to the fact that his powers had started to go into flux and were threatening his health). However, events soon conspired to prevent him from graduating college or starting a "normal" life. When his Uncle Barry died saving the universe (and Wally's speed problems were conveniently cured), Wally felt that he had to step up to become the Flash in order to honor his uncle's legacy.
Unfortunately, Barry's death had left some huge shoes to fill, and with Iris off in the far future, Wally had no one to support him as he tried to live up to Barry's legacy. Suffering from depression and impostor syndrome, Wally psychosomatically limited his own speed to the speed of sound to ensure that he would never surpass Barry, dropped out of college, and, after breaking up with Frances Kane (who he had been dating), started a series of disastrous romantic relationships. Wally felt that he was unworthy to be the Flash, and in his desperation to prove himself, he came across as cocky and brash, even arrogant---and his low self-image was not helped by the fact that almost everyone around him kept reminding him of how he was disgracing his uncle's legacy. Nor was it helped by the fact that, when he won the lottery (just go with it), his mother moved in to mooch off of him, recklessly burn through all of his money, and criticize all of his choices. (Also, it turned out that his father was secretly part of an intergalactic cult, and that he had only had Wally because the cult had told him he was going to have a super-powerful son. Don't you just love comics?)
Things got even worse when an alien invasion (a different one from the one started by the cult Wally's dad was a part of) stole all of Wally's remaining finances and he briefly became homeless...but luckily, he ran into the Pied Piper, who helped him out and began what would become a very deep and long-lasting friendship. Wally's relationships with old and experienced jack-of-all-trades Mason Tollbridge, the human black hole named Chunk (whom Wally had saved from a life of crime), scientists Tina and Jerry McGee, Joan Garrick, the Elongated Man, and even Captain Cold, Heat Wave, and the Golden Glider eventually helped pull him out of the hole he had fallen into after his uncle's death, and he gradually became a more competent hero and a happier, more well-adjusted man.
Of course, no one was more important in facilitating Wally's growth from a cocky skirt-chaser with impostor syndrome to a truly confident, loyal husband was Linda Park. When Wally met her, she was a TV reporter in Keystone City, and the two of them butted heads at first, but, over time, they came to enjoy one another's company, started dating, fell in love, saved each other from countless disasters, and then got married. Linda helped Wally to grow up and overcome his insecurities, and Wally helped Linda to relax and have fun. The two of them work together very well and are utterly devoted to one another.
The two of them also have three children: twins Irey and Jai (who are somewhere between 8 and 10 years old due to some initial advanced speedster aging), and the newly-arrived infant Wade West. Wally is a devoted father and delights in being an embarrassingly goofy dad. He's also very close to his younger cousin Wallace West.
Wally is passionate, brave, loyal, and devoted to his friends and loved ones. He is generally friendly and good-natured, and is just as devoted to helping people as the other Flashes are. He's the best user of the Speed Force and is the Fastest Man Alive. He has an intuitive understanding of his speed and uses it to greater effect than basically any other speedster. However, he cannot vibrate through walls like Barry and Jay can (because the excess energy that he produces when he does so causes them to explode!)
Wally has a snarky, dry sense of humor and is very witty (being particularly prone to making sarcastic comments about supervillains). He's very impatient and can be prone to reckless actions, particularly when he gets angry. Wally also has a notable temper, though it seems to have gotten better as he's gotten older.
Although the comics have never outright said it, Wally seems to have ADHD, and is in fact a surprisingly accurate portrayal of the condition (in much the same way as his cousin Bart). That being said, I'm not sure Wally himself realizes he has ADHD, as he seems to blame most of the behavioral manifestations of ADHD on his super speed (and it's also a fair bet that his parents never had him tested for it as a child.)
In spite of his super speed, Wally is not a sports fan, and he especially hates watching baseball on TV. Conversely, he loves to eat. While he doesn't really need to eat to maintain his super speed in the way that he once did, he still has a super-speedy metabolism, and he uses it to eat lots and lots of hot dogs (apparently, they're weenie-licious), hamburgers, and sugared cereals.
Wally has had a number of jobs, including working as a car mechanic for the CCPD, but he is currently employed by Terrifitech as an engineer/mechanic, working for fellow superhero Mr. Terrific.
Linda Park-West: Linda Park is the daughter of John and Lisa Park. She is of Korean descent, and both she and Wally are very fond of Korean barbeque. Linda began her career as a TV reporter before switching to the press, and she has also published a few novels. She has also expressed an interest in pediatric medicine and has taken a few college courses for it.
At the start of her career, Linda was a serious, no-nonsense reporter. She was very good at her job, but she had few friends outside of her work, and she could be a bit uptight. When she first met Wally, they had a mutually adversarial relationship, but over time, they softened towards one another and developed a friendship that then became a romance. She helped Wally mature and grow up a bit, and he helped her loosen up and have fun. The two of them are great for one another, and, in spite of some rough patches, have a very healthy relationship.
Linda is a very intelligent woman and has no shortage of bravery; she's helped Wally face down many criminal threats and is a formidable opponent in her own right. Her skills as an investigative journalist also frequently aid Wally in his battle against crime.
Linda is a loving and devoted mother to her three children, and she will do anything to keep them safe. Woe betide anyone who is foolish enough to mess with her children. While she is the more serious and responsible parent, she is obviously very fond of her children and enjoys spending time with them and her goof of a husband. She's also handles most of the family's finances (since Wally lacks the patience for that sort of thing). She's also very close to her parents, who visit the family regularly. Much like Wally, she is friends with the Pied Piper.
Linda is also a huge sports fan. She loves baseball and is just as big a fan of Keystone City's hockey team, the Combines, as Captain Cold.
Iris "Irey" and Jai West: Wally's twins, both of whom have super speed. Jai can use his super speed to temporarily give himself super strength, while Irey is particularly adept at phasing through walls. Both of them are sweet kids who love their parents and each other, but still they bicker and fight with one another. They are siblings, after all. Jai is more introverted than his sister and seems to prefer playing video games and writing in his journal to socializing. Irey is more outgoing and mischievous, and she has become close friends with Maxine Baker, the daughter of Animal Man (Buddy Baker), who goes to her school. Both children are eager to help their father fight bad guys, but for the most part, Wally and Linda try to keep their kids away from too much combat. The twins are also very fond of their Uncle Piper, their Grandpa Jay, their Grandma Joan, and their Uncle Barry.
Pied Piper (Hartley Rathaway): Hartley Rathaway was born to multi-millionaire publishing magnates Osgood and Rachel Rathaway. He was born deaf, and it took his neglectful parents nearly two years before they realized something was wrong. Once they finally caught on to their son's deafness, and determined to "fix" their heir, they spent millions of dollars to get Dr. William Magnus to implant Hartley with super-advanced hearing aids. The operation was a success, and Hartley was left with not only the ability to hear, but super-human hearing. Upon being able to hear, Hartley quickly became enamored with music, which became something of a solace for the lonely child.
Hartley's parents, though extremely wealthy and able to give him the best of everything money could buy, were also cold, controlling, and neglectful, and Hartley never felt accepted by them or their high-society friends. He seemed to have no friends, and every aspect of his life was controlled by his parents...except his hobby of tinkering with musical instruments.
When Hartley turned 18, his parents selected a prestigious university for him, enrolled him in courses, and, when Hartley, uninterested in the courses they had chosen for him, didn't perform to their expectations, bribed the college to give him high grades. Hartley, for his part, had invented a flute that could hypnotize anyone who listened to it, and began using it to try to take some control of his life.
After several months (maybe even a few years) of conflict with his parents, everything came to a head when Hartley told his parents that he was gay. This kicked off an enormous argument that ended up with Hartley being all but disowned by his family. No longer welcome at home, and having dropped out of college, Hartley decided to use his magical flute to become the Pied Piper. By becoming a costumed criminal and openly stealing from the rich, he would have his revenge on the parents he had never been good enough for...and he would finally have control over his own life.
Hartley's parents were, predictably enough, infuriated by his activity as the Pied Piper, and promptly bribed everyone from the Chief of the CCPD to the FBI to keep Hartley's identity a secret. He was even given a new name, Henry Darrow, to make sure nobody connected the polka-dot-wearing thief with the Rathaways.
The Pied Piper was one of the youngest of the costumed criminals to battle the Flash (Barry Allen), and perhaps it was because he needed a substitute family that he joined up with the Rogues (after briefly dating a wannabe supervillain named Earl Povich/Fury, who would, years later, come after a reformed Hartley). With his upper-class accent and education, he stood out from the rest of the group, and many of them weren't quite sure where to have him---especially once he told them he was gay. However, he did become close friends with another of the younger Rogues, the Trickster (James Jesse), and he always got along well with Heat Wave (Mick Rory), who was gentle and easy-going.
During his career as a criminal, Hartley kept very little of the money he stole. He gave some of the money to his parents, to pay them back for the money they had spent trying to mold him into something he could never be (and to remind them that he still existed and remembered them), and donated much of the rest to various charities (he fancied himself as a bit of a Robin Hood figure, and viewed it as a way to help make reparations for the wealth horded by his family)...but he could still be a very dangerous opponent for the Flash, especially when angered or cornered.
Shortly before Barry Allen's death, Hartley had a nervous breakdown. This, combined with his old foe's sacrifice to save the universe, prompted Hartley to realize that he was wasting his life as a criminal. He reformed and became an advocate for a variety of social causes, including providing aid to the homeless. He became friends with the new Flash, Wally West, and he even reconciled with his parents. Since then, he has helped the Flash save the Twin Cities many times, and also helps to keep the Flash informed as to what's going on the criminal underworld. He's also stayed friends with James Jesse, the Trickster, who himself decided to join the side of the angels (mostly) and who never fails to keep Hartley's life interesting.
Hartley Rathaway is the sort of person people reflexively underestimate. Slight of build and rather quiet of voice (you would be too if whispers sounded like shouting sometimes), he doesn't seem threatening---but if you threaten him or the people he cares about, he can be every bit as dangerous as the Flash (or the Rogues). His weaponized musical instruments allow him to not only hypnotize people but to weaponize sound in a variety of ways, and he is very skilled in using them in combat. He's also a very skilled inventor and is constantly updating his arsenal of pipes, and he knows a lot about sound. (He also sometimes serves as Wally's tech support.)
In addition to being very intelligent, Hartley is a loyal friend and a devoted champion of the poor and underprivileged. He is extremely passionate about his causes and works tirelessly to help others, sometimes to the point where he exhausts himself or forgets to eat. He wants to create a better world for everyone, and he is very compassionate, especially to children, such as his little sister, Geraldine Rathaway. He is also a beloved "uncle" to Jai and Irey West.
Hartley feels a fair deal of guilt about his criminal past, and for that reason works hard to make amends by aiding Wally in his role as the Flash. He spends a good deal of time and effort in helping other ex-convicts reintegrate into society, and also passionately helps Linda expose corruption in high places.
Hartley loves all kinds of music, more or less indiscriminately and equally. He sometimes plays in the Central City orchestra, and he is rarely found without his headphones on and his flute in hand. In addition to his love of music, Hartley is also a baseball fan, and enjoys watching games with fellow fan Linda.
Hartley loves rats and has several pet rats, including one named Moon.
Hartley has had a number of partners over the years. Aside from the aforementioned Earl Povich, he has dated Mike, a chef (probably) and James, who worked as an architect (not to be confused with James Jesse, the Trickster, whose real name is actually Giovanni Giuseppi). His most recent partner is, as you noted, David Singh, who works as a police officer. I don't really know a lot about David other than his occupation, since his relationship with Hartley was introduced in the New 52, and Hartley has had shockingly little panel time since then. Nor do I know how they met (I don't think the comics have ever really explained this, and inquiring minds would like to know, given one of them is a police officer and the other one used to be a supervillain). That being said, Singh does seem to serve as a moral compass for Hartley when he's tempted to revert back to his criminal ways.
Paul Gambi: Paul Gambi is a tailor of Italian descent, and he makes costumes for the Rogues as a sideline to his main business (since the Rogues pay very well for their costumes). He seems to be somewhere between 40 and 60 years old in most of his appearances, and I assume he's older than all of the Rogues.
Gambi has at least two brothers. One of them, whose name we don't know, is in prison, and he left behind a son, Tony, who Paul took in and raised. The other brother, Peter Gambi, is also a tailor, but he makes costumes for superheroes (notably, he made Black Lightning's costume).
Gambi is an expert tailor, and he designed all of the Rogues' outfits so that they would withstand the forces of the Rogues' weapons (e.g., Heat Wave's costume can resist ridiculous amounts of heat, Weather Wizard's costume can withstand high winds and rain, etc.) Although he has gone to prison for brief periods, for the most part he manages to stay under the radar and continue making costumes (it helps that he has a legitimate business as well).
Gambi is very fond of the Rogues, and they are equally fond of him, viewing him as a friend and an ally. Messing with Gambi is a great way to get all the Rogues to come after you. Gambi also seems to be a good uncle to his nephew Tony (whom the Rogues are also extremely fond of), and both uncle and nephew are as good as part of the group.
Fun Fact: Paul Gambi was named after a real-life Flash fan named Paul Gambaccini.
It's late now and I'm tired, so I will finish up the rest of the characters tomorrow.

Hi! Can you tell us (me, I mean me) something more about the Little Troopers, please? Possibly something happy?🥺
Little Troopers is MOSTLY a happy thing, though there is some seriousness to it. It is crack approached seriously. However, we've got a bunch of Clone Littles scurrying around, which means hijinks and mayhem and entirely too cute for anyone's sake.
If Fox is a biter, Cody is a pincher. It is his childhood defense against brothers—it hurts, but it doesn't technically cause any harm, and it gets his point across.
Cody is a neurotic child, so persnickety he sometimes borders on obsessively compulsive about things. Just like their adult selves, none of the kids like messes—Fox is a little messier than the vod'ike he hangs with the most, but he is still likely to pick up after himself, even if he takes a little longer than the others.
How about I talk about Boba and Omega?
These two are the only Clones who don't get regressed. Boba is released from his imprisonment to study why he and Omega weren't regressed, and... no one ever sent him back to prison. Doesn't mean he isn't paying his so-called debt to society.
He's the nanny. Oh, of course, he absolutely HATES it.
Ok, he really doesn't. Not that he'll admit it.
See, Boba didn't get to play with a lot of other Clones. But, as a child, he wanted to play with them ALLLLL the time. With all his memories intact, he hasn't forgotten what Clones he had gotten to play with, and deep down...
He always wanted to be the Older Brother—and STAY the Older Brother. He wanted little brothers who didn't outgrow him and leave him behind because he was too little. Now he gets to chase after a toddling Fox while he has a little Rex on his hip. He has no shame in arguing with a pint-sized Cody—not that getting Cody to argue is hard or anything, no, he's just as argumentative as a Little as he was as a Clone Commander (much to Obi-Wan's delight)—over silly things, and he's actually very good at eating the lumpiest cupcake Wolffe makes in the kitchen.
Omega is... thrilled when she gets to visit Coruscant, where some of the other Clones are. Back on Kamino, when she isn't helping Nala Se research the cause of the Clone's age regression, she's playing with darling Alpha-17, Blitz, and Hammer. She has also really taken a shine to the menaces still known as The Bad Batch—Oh what a handful those seven Littles are!
Taun We is quite pleased to have more Littles running around.

Sorry I looked at your latest meme batch, excellent content by the way, but… SAM’S DOING WHAT?!?!
OH HONEY ITS A FUCKING TRIP-
Ok so I have this interpretation of Allspark Sam being this chaotic netrual cube who’s a fucking menace to society like being an antagonist but not a villain.
I seen headcanons about the idea that Sam is connected to the Allspark and I love that concept as I want to put my own spin on to it.
My take is that when Sam was in contact with the Allspark it imprinted on him, as it seem in RotF that the Allspark was able to pass information on him but we see it drove him a lil nuts by just receiving that info by its shard alone. Sam has a connection with the Allspark as while it seems to be a blessing it actually isn’t. The thing is you get brought back to life by a powerful artifact The matrix) it can have consequences in the future. In my headcanon Sam was killed by Cemetery Wind but instead of dying he got resurrected again something happened….the Allspark rather then letting it’s vessel die it brought them back to life again….but unlike what happened before something went wrong… The Allspark were just shards at this point so the resurrection power can have unpredictable results when it comes to bringing back humans unlike cybertronians. So Sam is not like fully brought back only parts of him like his mind and his sanity is a different story.
The Allspark turns out to be lil sentient and it’s sick and tired being used for War and Shit so in a away room protect itself and the cybertronians. They used Pieces of Sam’s personality and fused his mind with their remaining knowledge to create a defense mechanism to keep itself away from prying hands and now chooses those who have to prove who are worthy.
Even if it means giving that “Personality” a lil bit of chaotic bastard energy. So Cube Sam was born!! It has two forms one Humanoid and Cube but goes as Cube most of the time. And now their quest is to recover pieces of itself and maybe terrorize some old faces for fun. They are an Enigma wondering around the globe watching and learning about what’s going on while hiding from Humans and cybertronians. But only showing himself if he sees potential or want to test to see those who are worthy to even use his power.
They are like a trickster in a sense bringing life to small electronics just to see what happens and to watch the reactions of the poor humans who are terrified of his creations. He also tests people’s resolve to see how they can break down from their guilt and trauma.
But there’s feeling of dread and uncanniness surround Allspark Sam. Especially his relationships with Bee, Mikela, Lennox, Simmons and OP it’s uncomfortable and pretty depressing. Normally they Avoid them. Sam holds no grudge with them especially towards the Autobots, but will mess with them just for fun. But when it comes to the government and the decepticons especially megatron it’s pretty much Sam terrorizes him for his crimes and starting the war that destroyed cybertron. While yes Optimus was no saint, he tried his best to end the war but it escalated and the worst part is that it also set quintessa loose too.
Besides humans and cybertronians are the same to him the difference is their biology.

Ayo, So What's With the Doodle-Ninjas?
So, in the show, 'The Ultimate Lesson' takes a person's memory of their time as a ninja and uses those moments to create lessons and give info to the next Ninja. And while the 'Secret Nine' says that 'The Creep' doesn't choose which person is the next ninja, I like to think he at least has some input since he's 1) immortal and 2) is really the only constant connection to the real world for the Nomicon.
But as we have seen in the show, the 'spriit of the ninja' or whatever has chosen wrong before (unless MacAnfee was just the nicest person back in 1985, and if that's so then sheesh, I pray for those teachers). So I wanted to create my own thing, a council of five ninjas to protect the nine chapters of the Nomicon, they are the last line of defense for the book and have the final say on who gets to be the next Ninja.
They are not real people, they are simply memories, they do not grow and evolve, they are simply ghosts of the memories that were taken from their host. Hopefully, that makes sense.
Under the cut are just short personality profiles of the Guardians of the Nomicon.
This is in order of name given.
LARRY COBBLER
Ninja from 1615-1619
oldest ninja on the council of guardians
Really clumsy
During his time as a ninja he almost set the town on fire, it was one time but both past and future ninjas agreed that the boy is a menace and danger to society.
Also, he's a little shit.
His family came from Vikings who got shipwrecked up North, so guess clumsiness runs in the family ig :/.
BIFF JOHNSON
Ninja from 1985-1989
The ninja after MacAnfee- sheesh
Was a football quarterback and it shows.
Though he may be mean at times, he's pretty selfless.
Was Norrisville High's 'golden boy'
Responsible for fixing MacAnfees mistakes, well most of them.
The family moved from New York to Norrisville when he was 13.
LUCY ORTEGA
Ninja from 2011-2015
The Ninja before Randy
born hard of hearing
very kind but was the type of person to punch first and ask questions later.
Was part of the chess club and even was president of it.
A very outspoken individual, always participating in and even planning protests at the high school.
Also a proud vegan.
A proud Puerto Rican
AMANDA RIVER
Ninja from 1861-1865
Likes to be addressed by her last name.
The family participated in the Underground Railroad.
While Oklahoma was a territory at the time and supported the Confederacy Norrisvile was very much a 'neutral' territory and was a stop for many during the Underground Railroad era.
Is part of the Shawnee tribe
Was into medicine and often took in injured animals.
Was very much into the passive teachings the Nomicon taught.
Soldier-Ninja AKA; MARY BARNES
Ninja from 1945-1949
Brother served in WWII
Wanted to be just like him
No-nonsense girly
Had morals similar to Steve Rogers
Loved comic books, even if they may seem tomboyish- but it's fine because Mary labels herself a tomboy.
Mother's Family has been in Norrisivle since the beginning and Dad's family has been here since the late 1800s to early 1900s

Sorry for making Cupid's blog ( @cupid-ler​ ) and THEN redesigning him :') but I was really unhappy with his previous design. So here we go!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
a bit of lore beneath the cut
Cupid is a celebrity born in a small town in Georgia. (He trained himself to get rid of his southern accent at a young age because he hated it) He was raised by his mother and grew up rich, everything was always handed to him and the only thing he ever genuinely worked hard for was his career and fame.
He started writing music in middle school. Pink, his best friend, would often help him with filming music videos and the two of them took dance classes and private music lessons (that Cupid's mother paid for) together.
The fame stated going to his head at a young age, as he first started going viral at the very beginning of high school. He made friends with more popular students and quickly became a bully in his high school years, especially to his childhood friend. The two had been inseparable for their whole lives, and Cupid did not originally intend to treat Pink badly, but as time went on he grew to view Pink as a loser and an embarrassment to be seen with and bullied him ruthlessly. Pink dropped out of his music classes because of this, but continued with dance, as Cupid no longer attending classes at the dance studio. They have not spoken to each other since graduation.
Cupid has traits that give him the potential to be a good person, but he only cares for himself, and acts only on what will benefit him. He has high empathy, but only uses it to know how to appeal to peoples emotions and build his public image or get something he wants. He's deliberately manipulative, and was even from a young age. Dude was born knowing how to trick people into giving him whatever he wants. Not everyone falls for it though, to some people he may be absolutely charming and to others he may have the most god awful vibe ever lmao. Plenty of people hate him, but he has a fiercely defensive fanbase.
He frequently struggles with stress and burnout from overworking himself. He also isn't the best at basic tasks, such as cooking, as he's never had to do so for himself a day in his life. Meet and greets stress him out cuz he hates physical contact but doesn't want to deny a hug to a fan, as he knows it's part of his job and deep down he appreciates their support. That being said, for boundary reasons, he doesn't have large meet and greets often.
While he has never fallen in love and doesn't see it ever happening, he's not opposed to the idea. But anyone who vibes that well with Cupid is probably a menace to society.

[Kaiju No.8] Bakko, Ashiro Mina’s pet white tiger
It's been more than 80 issues, and we still don't really know the deal with the tiger, Bakko. Particularly when and how Mina got it.
I think we're going to learn via flashbacks during her upcoming fight with Kaiju Number 14.
But what do we know?
Aside from allowing her to ride it, we've also seen it assist Mina in combat by throwing itself against her with precise timing to help her fight the recoil of her canon and remain on her feet, so that the two of them can immediately break and run to avoid counter-fire.
We haven't seen the tiger try to fight any sort of kaiju by itself, and logically it shouldn't. It's superhumanly strong, but not as strong as a melee-specialist captain like Hoshina.
We've long known that the beast seems tame; Mina shows absolutely no concern with keeping it uncaged in her apartment. She can be completely naked (no powered armor, no weapon) and turn her back to the tiger without fear of being attacked. No one on her team seems to pay the beast any mind either, so they're not worried about this ambush predator attacking them when they turn their backs.
Having a tame, trained white tiger already says lots of things about a character. It's a blatant sign of decadent wealth or powerful connections and authority within society. Keeping an adult tiger healthy, content, and fit in a city is an expensive and complicated task, requiring a strong support system. Normally, law makers and enforcers would put an immediate stop to it, but in this case they turn a blind eye.
She's not the only captain who gets away with bullshit, but none of the others display their decadence quite as brazenly as Mina. Gen Narumi's slovenly attitude and otaku addictions don't really compare to the risk that Bakko is going to flip out and eat someone's face.
We know that Mina doesn't come from a wealthy family, and while she's the head of an entire division, there are many superior ranks above her own whom she is not allowed to question. The one thing at which she is unparalleled in the Defense Force is 'long-ranged elimination of large-scale kaiju', even if she lacks flexibility (she's terrible at melee combat) and depends heavily on massive infrastructure to provide her with gigantic cannons.
It probably also helps that, unlike Gen Narumi, Mina is a model soldier who does her best to maintain internal morale and discipline as well as public dignity. Aside from appointing a hopelessly-specialized melee expert as her vice-captain, the tiger is really the only allowance that Mina demands from society.
And then we learn later that Mina lost her pet calico cat in the kaiju attacked that destroyed her childhood home. Bakko is something of a replacement; she's defying the kaiju to take her cat away from her again.
(Kafka reveals to Mina’s fans that she took charge of caring for the class animals in elementary school. She loves having and caring for pets.)
On that note, having a white tiger for an exotic pet gets recontextualized in a manga like Kaiju No.8.
It is perhaps the only furry creature seen in this manga. Most of the humans wear spandex and armor, and the kaiju are hard flesh, chitin, shells. The tiger is positively warm and fluffy by comparison, and its threat as an apex predator pales in comparison to the menace of the kaiju. For all that a white tiger still seems like a spirit rather than a simple animal, at the same time it is one of the purest expressions of nature in a story filled with unnatural beasts and artificial tools.
And then the manga introduces spirits, or at least memory-ghosts, into the mix. Which raises suspicions about why the author made Bakko a white tiger, with all the ghostly connotations.

I do get the feeling that Raph and Donnie were taking on most of the responsibility prior to the start of the show - Raph as the oldest and Donnie as the one who could fix things - which translates into how they have the most solid idea of their roles on the team straight off when they do start fighting crime.
Raph is the big brother, the brother who is biggest. He's strongest and a physical protection for the younger turtles, but more than that he's the one they can always turn to when things are bad. Raph always has a plan - not always a good plan - but always something that will get them to stop panicking and let them move on to what needs to be done. Whether Mind Raph is a connection of some sort or just imagination, it is significant that Leo summons him despite Leo being better at plans than Raph. When out of his depth Leo's immediate instinct is to turn to Raph. This role puts a lot of pressure on Raph - especially when Splinter's so often struggled to be present for his children - but it's also vital to his sense of self since he's built his own identity on it. It's not until the end of the series that Raph faces the need to let go a bit and let his brothers take care of him sometimes.
As part of a team Raph assumes the big brother role translates into being the leader, and as he's the only one who wants that kind of responsibility the others are fine with him taking it. When they challenge him it's usually on specifics, not because they want his role. Raph's also the impetus behind them becoming "heroes", which probably ties to the older sibling role. Raph's used to approval coming when he takes care of and protects people and he extends both the protectiveness and the hope for approval to human society. The Mutant Menace shows this best, I think, and also that Leo's lack of interest in being heroes might stem from cynicism. Leo really doesn't expect them to ever be appreciated (and is more aware that sometimes they cause more problems than they solve even if he won't usually admit it).
Donnie is the Tech Guy. Which might not sound like a family role, but in their family they can't just call a plumber or an electrician. Donnie's been vital to their quality of life ever since he started building things. The result is that he's both arrogant, frustrated that his brothers don't seem to contribute as much as he does, and fragile and defensive about his role, afraid that if anyone else could take it or mystic magic made it redundant he wouldn't have a role at all.
This translates to a team role really easily, but brings all the same insecurities with it. Donnie remains highly specialised yet irreplaceable and aware of both.
So between them, Raph looks after the people, Donnie looks after the infrastructure people need, and Mikey and Leo are kind of what they're looking after.
Mikey cooks, but it seems more like he cooks when he wants to. If he doesn't want to they get take out or fend for themselves, we see turtles rummaging in the fridge sometimes. Being the optimist, being happy, being appreciative of the protection he's given, also seem like things Mikey does consciously.
As a member of the team Mikey seems least hung up on defining his role, but does go from general optimism to trying to manage people's emotions (Dr Feelings is new to Donnie in Breaking Purple) and attempts to bring people into the family. Sheldon and Draxum could both in different ways be considered family at one remove and Mikey tries to mediate between them and his siblings.
Leo helps with chores that require venturing above I expect - these mostly fall to anyone but Mikey prior to Hot Soup: The Game. Chores that require talking to humans, even briefly, may explain why he thinks of himself as the "face man". Mostly I expect he helps out here and there without having any defined thing he's meant to be doing.
Leo's the least secure in the transition from family to team because, while he didn't require a role to be part of the family, he feels like he does require one to be part of the team. But unlike Raph and Donnie he's not sure what his role is and despite casting himself as "face man" never really seems sure of his place.

Oh my gosh! I kid you not, them rigging an engine to Ridley's wheelchair and going for a joyride did cross my mind. One police officer and a lot of negotiating later, they're miraculously only grounded. Since Theo's the mom friend, how close do you think he is to exploding? Also, imagine the sane trio returning: They're walking down the street, and they see some local bullies. They expect insults, but the bullies see them and cross to the other side of the street in terror. The trio is confused.
Leila: Hey, do you guys know why Tyler and his gang are scared of us now? Ever since we got back to Mineral Wells, they haven't bothered us once.
Ridley: Maybe someone chased him down the sidewalk at high speeds and nearly ran him over. I wouldn't know anything about that though.
Theo: Ridley...
Carter: Uh-oh, the 'not mad but disappointed' tone.
Theo: You're only supposed to be using your genius inventing skills for good. Not to terrorize other people!
Olly: In our defense, I think we did the world a great service that day.
Leila: Aw man, you guys got to have so much fun while we were away!
Carter: *disapproving look, because we're trying to make them not become menaces to society, Leila*
Leila: I mean, that was bad and awful and you shouldn't do it again.
Izzy: *Walks into room* Anyways, I was thinking next time we should get water balloons to throw at them while they're running for their lives!
Theo: NO!
*bonus*
Emily: So, I was walking down the street today and I heard a couple of bullies making fun of Ridley. I was going to step in, but then she told them that they could have a five-second head start while she put on a helmet.
*A bunch of kids screaming and running while Ridley zooms after them, followed closely behind by Izzy and Olly*
Emily: I think she has the situation under control.

can.. i hear about your ocs?
🥺 Of course you can! Thank you for asking <3 I want to hear about yours too though 👉🏼👈🏼 (if you're ok with sharing!)
So... I have many, many ocs, especially in pm so I can't talk about all of them and I'll just pick my favorites for now!
Tumblr media
This is Lyvia (They/She), a color fixer oc! They grew up in the outskirts and a lot of people close to them died to several dangers there... And she decided to become better than those who were supposed to protect them but miserably failed. This took a while, but eventually she had success and the title of the rose quartz was given to her. Their weapon of choice is the specially modified umbrella they carry around, it's able to block powerful attacks and it's generally a very good defense! I won't describe the relationships they had with my friends' ocs, however, since this is one of my favorite ocs, of course they get paired with a canon character I find comfort in and this can't be left unsaid because it's important to know what happens next!
She met Daniel who carelessly ended up in danger, she happened to be doing a mission around that area and luckily was there to help him. I'm very shy about the oc x canon ships so I'm not describing very well but!! Eventually they end up together yeah! They keep working as a color to make the world a place where someone like him could live on, and he obviously joins the lab in the outskirts as the Canon story tells us... And the head raid happens so you know, he dies while Lyvia wasn't there to save him this time. And as soon as the news arrived to her she rushed to the remnants of the lab just to be welcomed by the head and the claws patrolling the area. A fight was unavoidable and she was able to kill a few claws but well, one of those was the gf of an arbiter and the arbiter wasn't very happy about that sooo
The lab of the outskirts ended up being the resting place of the rose quartz! And that's why I have like three aus where they're actually alive
Tumblr media
This is the arbiter I mentioned above! She's Nara (She/Her) and she's a menace to society but at least she looks good while committing atrocities ahem anyways
She was adopted from the backstreets by a family that was already settled as members of the head, so she literally grew up with their ideologies taught to her and also the necessity to repay her family for the fact they saved her from certain death most likely... And thus she did her best to reach the top and make them proud... And she did reach the top! But her parents were too focused on praising the accomplishments of her sibling who was their biological child... So she always feels like whatever she does isn't enough, she needs therapy I think... Despite this, she deeply cares about her sibling...
Tumblr media
This is her sibling, Jess! (Any pronoun) He didn't become an arbiter, however he became a beholder of the eye and quietly enjoyed the position, he thought what he did was just and fair and that his hands weren't dirty with blood. However, this changed when, while observing the new L Corp he committed a mistake and was kinda... Kidnapped? Smh she ends up being turned into an agent and he obviously isn't able to escape because you know... L corp things. They were assigned to the extraction department obviously under Binah and there they kinda... Almost died many times if the captain didn't help them. I'll avoid details once again, but during his time in the corp he had a character development and turned into a girlboss that's dealing with his sense of guilt for all his past mistakes.
... Obviously they're a Welfare Sephirah liker because I'm predictable and a simp
I'll stop here now because I'm afraid it's a lot already!! Thank you so much for asking! 💙

....... Im going to be embarrassing. Stenjames 1 through 10, and JamesAbel for 11-21 💕
Stenjames:
1. Who most initiates PDA?
James does, absolutely. That man cannot keep his hands to himself he's constantly grabbing Sten's arm/hand/waist and dragging him around everywhere.
2. Any sleep habits either had to get used to?
James drools. A lot. I doubt Sten was ready for waking up everyday as a wet t-shirt contestant. Also Sten big. James has to sleep on top of him, for survival purposes.
3. Hot and Steamy or Soft and Tender?
SOFT AND TENDER. AND ALSO KIND OF STEAMY.
4. How did they first meet?
sten slapped him with a fish
James just straight up walks into Sten's shop, steals something, and then decided to pay for it instead of threatening Sten with an island-wide boycott because he thought Sten was cute and, dare I say, ballsy to deny him his knick-knacks.
5. What is their love language?
These two cannot communicate clearly if their lives depended on it so they're like bower birds. Acts of service.....gift giving.....physical affection......Very much sending each other pictures "You" and turning the car AC down/up when they know the other's going to use it the next day.
6. When did they realize they loved each other?
Like, after three to five years of dating. In their defense, they only saw each other a grand total of like maybe 7 months during that time.
7. Who is more sentimental?
THAT'S HARD like the obvious choice is James. But honestly, I think it's Sten. He's very much house-husband "I miss my wife" sorta guy. James is too busy committing acts of terror and piracy on the Navy to focus on sentimentality.
8. What’s one way their personalities compliment one another?
James is super outgoing and charismatic so he drags Sten out to the taverns and parties and absorbs him into his circle of friends. Sten's more practical and pessimistic so honestly he keeps James from killing himself and also acting out various plans that will kill him.
9. How are their personalities different?
Have you ever heard of Bo Burnham's Left Brain, Right Brain? That's basically them.
10. What are some non-sexual activities they do together?
Look...........................James absolutely loves trying to teach Sten how to dance. It's his (secondary) life goal to get Sten to do a decent ceili or salsa before he dies. 
J2:
11. Which member is more physically affectionate?
Both! They're a menace to polite society!
Really tho, James is the cuddler and Abel's the idle hands wanderer.
12. Which member is more verbally affectionate?
Again, both, but in different ways. Abel kind of comes off as condescending because he's always shortening James' name to other nicknames/"be a doll" sort of quips, but James loves it. James is more "sweetheart"/"darling"/"dearest" and he really does his best to let Abel know how much he loves him (since his parents never did).
13. Which member steals borrows the other ones clothing?
James. Abel cannot fit in James' clothes for the life of him, but he HAS taken a crop top from time 2 time.
14. Are they an introverted couple or an extroverted one—AKA would they prefer to go out to a party or event together or would they rather stay in?
Oh extroverted absolutely. Naval parties were their FAVORITE they could gather gossip and then wander off and just talk trash about everyone (and GET trashed).
15. Who is more likely to make an impulsive decision and who is the voice of reason?
...........Sten.
But no really, if I HAD to pick one, I would say James was the more impulsive with Abel being more the voice of reason, but Abel is also extremely impulsive too. Unfortunately, he doesn't consider James a voice of reason.
16. Who stays up way too late and who tries to drag them to bed?
Abel. He's a #gamer and James has to physically sit in his lap and fall asleep before Abel decides it's bedtime. Even in canon, while James is an insomniac currently, he wasn't when he and Abel were together. Abel's insomnia was always present and just got worse when they broke up; he needs a warm body to snuggle up against before he can fall asleep.
17. Who fell in love first?
Hang on I need to go rewatch my animatic to remember.
Okay, I'm going to say Abel. James falls quickly, yes, but man if James wasn't the first person Abel actually felt seen by. He was probably head-over-heels for James before he even realized it and made a jerk of himself at first because of it, but like. He really did truly love him. He definitely proposed.
18. What song fits them perfectly?
Oh there could be so many. What era? What point of their relationship? Is Sten included in there?
19. How do they deal with being away from each other for a long time?
All out of Tears Z Berg for James @ Abel a few years after James defects.
Wildflowers Caged Animals for Abel @ James years after that when he sees James successfully out of the game.
Scorpio Autoheart for both of them tbh
Burn Down This City Felix Hagan & the Family
Wolves Selena Gomez and Marshmello
20. Who holds a grudge the longest?
They're both horrible people. Abel tho. Absolutely Abel.
21. Which of the two is quick to speak and which one is quick to listen?
NEITHER OF THEM LISTENS THAT'S WHY THEY BROKE UP THE FIRST TIME!! THEY'RE BOTH TOO UP THEIR OWN VERSIONS OF SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT THEY CAN'T FATHOM A WORLD WHERE THEY'RE IN THE WRONG!!!!!!!! I'M CONSTANTLY HAUNTED BY THEIR POOR CHOICES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

I have the strong urge to ramble about Tes and Eins so here I am. Slight warning that my writing may get confusing, so I'm very sorry about that. There'll be my personal headcanons plus other things I feel like talking about. There'll be a few jokes because I need them for my own sanity.
Rambling under the cut
Slight edit while I'm writing: I accidentally hyperfocused on one specific part so oops. I could fix that but I'm not so have fun reading my novel. I'll end up having to make a second post to finish my headcanons off because it's almost eleven and I'm still not done with them sobs.
These two have been living rent free in my head and they're driving me insane.
Tesla is 100% softer in private with Einstein and I will die on this hill. She's still an absolute menace to society, but a gentler one. What I mean by this is that she's more 'open' in a sense.
She lets her guard down purely because she trusts her and knows that she wouldn't do anything to hurt her. Things like feeling safe enough to not wear her glasses / contacts, being vulnerable, showing affection, etc. However if Eins ever teasingly brings it up in front of others she gets flustered and defensive and tells her to shut the fuck up.
Both Tes and Eins are extremely stubborn as well and I will also die on this hill. Literally they'd been in love for years and just refused to admit it because they were embarrassed. Though they were both also horrified that if they did it'd completely destroy their friendship if the other didn't feel the same way, so that played a part in it.
Funniest part is that everyone else knew they were dating before even they knew. They'd been living together for literal years and shared a bed. Totally best friend behavior right there.
Eventually Einstein was the one who caved, though it wasn't intentional and she wanted to disappear off the face of the earth at first.
An important thing to note is that over the years they both created their own way of communicating. They'd essentially developed their own language through the sheer power of mathematics. For a brief explanation on how, they assigned meaning to each string of numbers / equations. To go along with it there was a specific indicator. This helped distinguish messages from their normal work. It was originally made because they wanted to be able to send each other messages when they needed something, but they also just used it to talk to each other without anyone knowing.
The reasoning I bring this up is because it was ultimately what brought them together. At some point Tes was out for a meeting the majority of the day (probably arguing with and or insulting senators or something idk) and Einstein was home for a majority of the day. It was in the middle of winter and the heater for the dorms went down leaving everyones rooms cold. Eventually the cold caused her to become sentimental and made it where she couldn't ignore the repressed feelings, and combine that with the fact Tesla wasn't home she just kinda emotionally died.
Eins journals, and while Tes is aware of it and doesn't care, she keeps a hidden one she doesn't know about. Although at this point both of them were fully comfortable talking to each other about anything, it was one of those things that she still needed sometimes. Writing was (still is) one of the main ways she copes with difficult events / emotions.
Considering at this point neither was sure what the other thought she couldn't just talk to her about it. This was one of those moments where she needed to either write or talk with someone, and she didn't want to bother anyone. After a while she eventually dug out her second journal and started writing (basically rambling) using theire math language (because it was less embarrassing, plus if anyone else found it they'd think it was just part of her work). Originally she had planned to just put it up before Tes came home, but unfortunately for her she just completely forgot time existed for a few hours.
Tes did end up coming home around ten at night and sat down by Eins, exhausted and just wanting to be with her. She eventually glanced down to see what she was working on. Although it took her a minute to process what she was reading, she eventually realized and went completely still and channeled her inner lobster turning bright red. Eins eventually realized she was there and when she turned to tell her hi she quickly realized time was actually a thing and that Tes was not, in fact, completely illiterate.
They just stared at each other neither knowing what to say, and Einstein just wanted to disappear off the face of the earth. Eventually she decided to make an attempt at speaking, though she couldn't really get it out without stuttering. "T.. Tesla I-"
Tesla just kinda sat there before forcing herself to say they needed to talk, and proceeding to stand up and immediately tripping trying to go back to their room.
After about twenty to thirty minutes of Einstein just pacing back and forth preparing herself to get absolutely murdered and freaking out internally, she forced herself to actually go talk to her. Though Joachim probably got several texts along the lines of "Fuck. She knows this isn't a drill please help me." and him just essentially replying with "lmao good luck" and proceeding to go to bed. (Tesla had texted him less than ten minutes before freaking out. He was just happy they both were being forced to talk and he could be left alone. Both him and Joyce deserve financial compensation because they were both stuck in the middle of this for years. Joyce only escaped because he decided to just die on them and hid himself specifically so he didn't have to deal with their insanity.)
Eventually she poked her head into their room to see Tes just sitting on their bed. Just staring at the picture of them that was normally on her nightstand looking like she was about to cry, not even noticing her there.
Eventually she just said "Tes can I come in." Causing Tesla to get startled and look up before just nodding her head and looking down. The insanity continued, with Einstein trying to apologize and Tesla just telling her to stop, meanwhile on the verge of tears. After a few minutes of silence, Tesla eventually looked up and just asked her if she meant what she wrote. Einstein said yes, crying insued and they were finally together officially.
Joachim was now faced with a new problem of them being happier than ever and refusing to shut up. The Welts never win.

This man wanted to kill her and I’ll forever stand by that. When he couldn’t murder her physically he wanted to destroy her emotionally and psychologically either way for no good reason he just wanted her dead.

He was so arrogant that he thought he could post anything like this and get away with it Show me poorly aged tweets for two hundred
I know that I said this before over a billion times but I’ll just say it again since this has been a year since the trial I want y’all(yes every single last one of you, heck even the aliens if they exist among us) to realize Tory had the opportunity to take a plea deal and serve no time. Megan lied to police to protect Tory immediately after he shot her, he slandered her in the blogs and so she decided to tell the truth to law enforcement.
The courts offered a plea deal, Tory threw it back in their face and dragged this out for years to keep the lie going and burned up his own money on legal fees and taxpayer dollars on a trial.
The courts gave bail, Tory used that time to torment and harass Megan which only hurt his case and was a key factor in his heavy sentencing when the day came.
At every single turn the goodwill of the universe/God offered this man an opportunity to save himself — and he laughed at it and sabotaged it. He could have owned up to his actions.
INSTEAD, he was so arrogant in the process bc he thought painting Megan as a liar on social media would hold up on trial. It backfired in the worst way possible.
He tormented her for three years and all that did in the end was made him look like a complete and total sociopath and narcissist who deserved every single day of those ten years in prison.
If you don’t believe that words matter and they don’t hurt then remember that his own words are the reason why he’s where he is and deserves to be
Words can hurt more than any weapon could and I don’t want to hear anything about words not mattering nor sticks and stones may break bones but words will never hurt me again
And because of things like this 👇I also don’t want to hear anything about women being too emotional while these men are being violent for no good reason ever again.
*Meg cut him deep wit that “The only reason why your popular at the moment is because you are in a feature with Jack Harlow “comment and he with his violent tendencies and toxic masculinity couldn’t take it.(Ironically enough because of you hoteps and pick mes in the black community slutting out being such hoaux for an abuser to dehumanize a black woman I might as well be falling for someone like jack Harlow anyways. More ironically them black bastards being so slutty towards an abuser that deserves the old fashioned death penalty is why he got ten years in prison so thanks for making him potential targets for shankings you hellbound heathens!)
Tumblr media
And don’t forget about this too. Who does he think he is, a male Karen? Getting all loud, belligerent , violent and acting outraged over the smallest things? Next I supposed he’ll be wearing a short bob demanding to speak to the manager
Tumblr media
Clearly this man a menace to society and America. If he can’t handle someone not shaking his hand or someone criticizing his music without resorting to violence, then he shouldn’t be among us
Canada, in ten years from now when he is deported back to his home country, you’ll need to stay out of his way because apparently he is a violent psychopath and/or sociopath and when there’s people like him amongst us then something has got to give
He could be the neighborhood grocer, he could be the next-door neighbor, heck he could be the Gardener . Who knows?
Just don’t let him become a politician, your friend, your husband, your boyfriend, or any member of a social Circle of yours
You don’t have to be a responsible gun owner, or a true crime watcher to know that you said never fire a weapon at someone unless there is a good reason why you should I.e self-defense for example, if someone came at another person with a weapon (knife, gun, hatchet, etc) the one person or in this case the gun owner who genuinely feels as if his/her life is endangered has a right to use self defense. And even then it takes one shot to count as self-defense . Firing multiple shots at a person, especially if they didn’t do anything to that person justify it , is not self-defense is intentional homicide(that’s fancy talk for murder in a premeditated matter aka first degree premeditated murder )

Cyber ​​Attacks: Increase in cases of cyber attacks, from smart TV to treadmill on the target of hackers
Tumblr media
Cyber Attacks on the Rise in India: Protecting Our Digital Landscape
In recent years, India has witnessed a concerning surge in cyber attacks. On Tuesday, June 6, an attempted cyber attack targeted AIIMS, one of the premier medical institutions in the country, housing sensitive data of lakhs of patients, including numerous VIPs. This incident sheds light on the vulnerability of our digital infrastructure. A report by CERT-In revealed that a staggering number of cyber attacks, totaling Rs 12,67,064, were tracked last year. This report was also submitted to Parliament, highlighting the urgency of addressing this growing menace.
The Alarming Rise in Cyber Attacks
The figures speak for themselves, as the total number of recorded cyber attacks has steadily increased over the years. In 2018, there were 2,08,456 incidents, which escalated to 3,94,499 in 2019. Shockingly, these numbers surged to 11,58,208 in 2020 and further to 14,02,809 in 2021. This upward trajectory signifies the magnitude of the cyber threat and calls for immediate action to safeguard our digital infrastructure.

Everything is at Risk
It is disconcerting to realize that in today's era, every smart gadget we own can be easily hacked. Our homes are no exception, as hackers can manipulate various devices such as TVs, phones, computers, smartwatches, blood pressure monitors, and even treadmills. They can gain control remotely and pose a threat to our safety. Imagine the potential danger of a hacker taking control of your car or launching an attack against you. The severity of cybercrime cannot be underestimated, particularly concerning our national security.
Targeting the Healthcare Sector
The health sector has become a prime target for cyber attackers. According to MTaI, a think tank focusing on internet crime and cyber warfare, around 7.7% of all cyber attacks in 2021 were directed at the healthcare sector. While most of these attacks occurred in the United States, India ranked second in terms of targeted cyber attacks. It is worth noting that AIIMS has faced previous cyber attacks, emphasizing the vulnerability of crucial institutions within the healthcare sector.
Alarming Increase in Cyber Attacks
Globally, there have been over one billion cyber attacks, with India successfully preventing more than 500 million of them. However, the number of cyber attacks has increased by over 29% in 2023 alone, signifying the urgency to strengthen our cyber defense mechanisms.

Bolstering Cybersecurity Measures
Given the escalating threat landscape, it is imperative to take immediate action to protect our digital infrastructure and ensure the security of critical institutions and personal information. Here are some crucial steps that need to be undertaken:
Enhancing Cybersecurity Awareness: It is essential to educate individuals about the risks associated with cyber attacks and promote best practices for protecting personal information and online activities. Conducting regular awareness campaigns can significantly contribute to building a cyber-resilient society.
Strengthening Institutional Cyber Defense: Institutions, both public and private, must prioritize cybersecurity measures. Robust firewalls, regular system updates, and frequent security audits can help identify vulnerabilities and prevent cyber attacks.
Collaboration and Information Sharing: Encouraging collaboration between government agencies, law enforcement bodies, and private organizations is vital in effectively combating cyber threats. Sharing information on emerging cyber attack patterns and adopting a proactive approach can help mitigate risks more effectively.
Investing in Cybersecurity Infrastructure: Adequate investment in state-of-the-art cybersecurity infrastructure is crucial to keep pace with evolving cyber threats. Funding research and development in the field of cybersecurity can result in innovative solutions and technologies to counter sophisticated attacks.
Legal Framework and Cybercrime Laws: Strengthening existing cybercrime laws and enacting stringent
