Siblings

@divoha4

The last sounds of gurgling and growling died off as the duo killed the undead that surrounded them.

“Ugh. You never get used to the smell…” ”Uhm…Storm…?”

Storm looked over at Ferret, who looked suddenly pale and meek.

“Ferret? What is it?”

Ferret shakily showed their wrist. On their wrist, a clear as day bite, dripping with blood.

Storm didn’t hesitate. They took their clean knife out, and cut the wrist clean off, prompting a screech of pain from Ferret.

Storm apologised repeatedly as the wrapped the arm in a tourniquet and scraps of gauze.

“It hurts!” Ferret squeaked.

“I know. I’m sorry!” Storm repeated a few more times before taping up the gauze.

“Here.” Storm handed Ferret a small bottle of vodka, which the duo had grabbed from a downed plane. Ferret took it and chugged it instantly.

When Ferret discarded the bottle, they noticed Storm acting off. Their shoulder was in an upwards position, their neck slightly tilted to that side.

“Storm? Is something wrong…?” Ferret said in a shaky voice.

Storm hesitated. They let out a long breath before relaxing their shoulder, and moving their neck into an upright position. A deep bite was on their neck, like an undead had tried their best to rip the chunk out.

“S-Storm?”

“I don’t think anyone can cut this off…” Storm sighed, sitting on the ground.

“M-Maybe we could cut around it?” Ferret stammered, but Storm shook their head.

“Already in my blood stream, Fer. I’m done.”

“No! We told Moose we’d make it back safe!” Ferret protested, shaking Storms shoulders.

“And I told him I’d keep you safe.” Storm replied.

Ferret’s shoulders slumped, their eyes filled with Grief and despair. “W-What do we do…?”

“I’m going to get you as close to home as I can. I wanna see familiar places before, well…yeah.”

Ferret let out a whimper, which prompted Storm to tightly hug them.

“Hey. You’re gonna need a hand getting home anyway.”

“Not the puns…” Ferret whimpered.

“Could always say I’m armed.” Storm snickered.

The walk back was slow for them both, due to Storms bite, and Ferrets missing arm, which sometimes sent shocks of pain through them.

“How’s it feeling…?” Storm ask raspily. They had steadily grown weaker during the walk.

“Hurts sometimes.” Ferret admitted “Healing is probably going to be a bitch…”

They then took a breath. “What about you?”

Storm hesitated. “My necks gone a bit numb. Kinda like when a limb falls asleep? But I can feel it pulsing, like a heartbeat. I won’t lie, it’s an interesting experience.” ”That’s…one way to put it…” Ferret mumbled.

Suddenly, Storm stumbled, and Ferret immediately put out their good arm to catch them.

“If you need to take a break…”

“No. We keep going.” Storm insisted.

Ferret lowered their gaze and nodded.

They walked for another two hours, before eventually, Storm fell, and struggled to get back up. Ferret helped them up, and guided them to a tree, that had all of its leaves still despite the coming winter.

“Man, I did not think I was gonna go out like this…” Storm croaked as they were set down against the tree trunk.

“W-What do I do…?” Ferret asked with a small whimper.

Storm nodded to Ferrets gun.

“W-What?! I-I can’t!” Ferret fretted.

“You have to. I ain’t walking around with those things, causing issues. I prefer doing that when I’m alive.”

“You’re my sibling. I can’t…” Ferret’s voice cracked.

“You have to because you’re my sibling, Jo.” Storm replied quietly.

“What am I going to tell Moose? Bes even?” Ferret asked quietly.

“The truth. That my luck ran out, and you gave me the easy way out. Beats all the Lumi crap, I won’t lie.”

Ferret whimpered, and gave Storm a tight hug, hesitant to let go.

“I-I’m going to miss you…” Ferret whispered pitifully.

“Yeah, I’ll miss you too, Ferret.” Storm responded softly.

Ferret withdrew from the hug after a few minutes, and only now noticed just how exhausted Storm looked. They looked pale, dark marks under their eyes.

“Just…make it quick, yeah? Seen too many people miss during their killing blow. Not fun.”

Ferret took out their pistol and took a shaky breath.

Storm gave them a weak smile. “Tell them I wasn’t scared. Not one bit.”

“I will” Ferret whimpered. They aimed the gun and looked away.

A shot fired, and then silence.

“You sure Soap and Ghost would want to go to the warehouse? It’s full of rats, and Soap squealed like a little girl.”

“Moose, you and I both know they’re the quickest we have right now for the Warehouse run.”

Moose sighed, and looked around. “Those two kids should be back by now.. Where’d you send them anyway, Bes?”

Bes hummed for a moment. “Hardware store. We needed some supplies for the walls.”

Moose grunted and looked back at the map, before they heard a familiar screech of the gate opening.

“Must be them.” Bes smiled before turning around. His smile faltered.

Ferret stumbled to them, their head hanging low. In their remaining hand, was what looked to be a collar, part of it frayed and stained darker.

Moose turned, and his eyes widened. “Jo!”

He ran to Ferret, who was trembling like a leaf in the wind.

“Where’s Storm?!” Bes demanded.

Ferret could barely meet their gaze. When they finally lifted their head, there were tears in Ferret’s eyes. Shakily, they gave Bes the collar.

“They…” Ferret croaked.

Bes saw the blood, the frayed fabric on the collar, and his heart sunk.

Moose saw the collar, and his eyes widened.

All Bes could ask is “How…?”

Ferret let out a whimper, unable to answer.

Moose knelt down and tightly hugged Ferret, who let out one last whimper before sobbing into the older mans shoulder. “I’m sorry!” Ferret wailed.

Bes watched the two. He noticed Ferret’s stumped arm, and slowly began to piece it together.

“They saved you?”

Ferret meekly nodded. They forced themself to look up at Bes, and saw no anger. Only grief.

They were one member down, and that member, was family.

Crashing Into Goodbye - A hypothetical Daria episode Part 1

I've had this concept stuck in my head for a few days now and I wrote a lengthy bit of dialog to go with it, but I have other stuff I need to work on so I wanted to jot it all down and post it to stop hyperfixating on it.

We all know that things never particularly got that bad between Daria and Quinn. The fifth season even addressed the fact that Quinn's terrified of her relationship with Daria turning out to be like the one their mom has with her sisters.

But I wondered about the idea of Daria and Quinn having a legitimately bad fight. Like the worst they've ever had. This would be around Season 2 or 3, when Quinn was only just beginning to gain some more sympathy points from the narrative.

Crashing Into Goodbye features Daria being genuinely distressed when the Morgendorffers learn that Helen's sister Amy has been in a traffic accident. Her injuries aren't severe, but Amy does get a bit banged up and has to stay at a hospital for a few days.

Daria's really shaken up by this. The idea of losing Amy terrifies her on a level she's never felt before, as she often feels like Amy's the one person who in the family who truly gets her. We know that's not true, but Helen and Jake don't handle the situation that well. Helen gets stressed out when she has to deal with both Rita and their mother showing up because of Amy's situation, and it once again becomes yet another Barksdale beat down about how the sisters were raised. Jake is so terrified of Helen when she's involved with her sisters that he opts out like he did in Season 5, especially because of what being near her mother brings out in Helen. And since Quinn's never particularly been close to Amy she's not really focused and brushes Daria off as being her usual "weird" self when she actually tries to talk to Quinn. As such, this leaves Daria feeling even more isolated from her family than usual as she thinks she's the only one who actually gives a shit about Amy. This puts her on edge both because of how she views her family treating her beloved aunt, and how they're treating her. She knows she's similar to Amy, so she can't help project and it eats her up.

The only person who knows how Daria's really feeling is Jane, but even Jane is shocked at how emotional Daria's getting. She's never seen her be this vulnerable. The stress becomes too much for Daria during Mr. O'Neill's class and she leaves to be physically ill in the bathroom. Jane explains to O'Neill what Daria's dealing with; she doesn't want to because of how O'Neill is but she's kind of at a loss right now. He gives her permission to bring Daria home.

Unfortunately, Daria's on her way out after the bell rings, which results in Quinn and the Fashion Club seeing her sister's cousin's leaving early and gets mad she can't leave too. Daria finally snaps as Quinn tries to pretend she now cares about their aunt just to ditch school, and it escalates to the worst fight they'll ever have. And almost everyone sees it.

Quinn: Hey, why do you get to leave school early that’s not fair! I’m upset about Aunt Amy too!

Daria: What?

Mr. O’Neill: Is that true, Quinn?

Quinn: Oh yeah, I’ve been dealing with a lot of mental anguish and distress over the whole thing, right girls?

Stacy: Um…

Tiffany: Uh…

Quinn: RIGHT?

Stacy: Oh, right!

Tiffany: So much anguish…

Sandi: Definitely. In fact Quinn, you’ve been so broken up about your dear aunt’s misfortune I’d say you might need some time off from the Fashion Club to get your emotions in order. Maybe even permanent time off.

Mr. O’Neill: Oh dear!

Jane: Oh, that is low even for you Quinn.

Quinn (glaring at Sandi): I wouldn’t say I’m that-

Daria: For Christ’s sake, stop it Quinn!

Mr. O’Neill: Daria!

Jane: Whoa.

Daria: You’re really gonna use Aunt Amy’s accident just to weasel out of going to school?

Quinn: Isn’t that what you’re doing?

Daria: Can’t you act like a human being, for once in your life?

Quinn: Oh, like you know anything about being human! You expect me to believe YOU care about her? You don’t care about anyone! You’re too smart for that.

[As Quinn’s voice gets louder, more people start amassing around her and Daria, including some teachers from nearby rooms. Some seem intrigued by the arguing, others confused, but most are concerned. Among the Fashion Club, Stacy looks worried as she’s never seen Quinn this openly nasty. Tiffany’s expression remains neutral, while Sandi’s expression is one of amusement. Either at Daria being called out or Quinn showing an ugly side to herself, it’s not clear]

Quinn: All you care about are your weird books and foreign movies and being a, a, a brain who thinks just because she makes jokes no one understands and gets straight As and isn’t interested in what’s new and exciting and popular that makes her better than the rest of us! We get it, you're too smart to go on dates. You're too mature to wear cute clothes. You're too sarcastic to ever be happy about anything! Get a life already Daria, it's pathetic!

Mr. O’Neill: Now girls, let’s all take a deep breath-

Daria: I'm pathetic?! I don’t care about anyone?! This coming from a girl willing to exploit every boy who breathes in her direction to get free stuff yet somehow treats the basic concept of simple gratitude as if it were a malignant disease. Does this sound familiar? “Oh gee Adam, I wish I COULD go out with you, but I just CAN'T see myself dating a boy whose fingertips are smaller than mine it’s IN the Fashion Club bylaws. Thanks for the plane tickets though I'll let you know what Maui's like!”

Jane (to the crowd): For the record, that actually happened. She just got the photos back.

[The Three Js exchange shocked expressions, wondering who Quinn’s been exploiting behind their backs]

Daria: You engage in petty power struggles between your equally shallow and airheaded rival (Sandi: HEY!) so you can spend day after day with the same two girls, having the same conversations debating on what material your socks should be made from and why they don't have a diet version of diet soda.

Stacy: I knew that was a dumb topic when I said it, I knew it!

Tiffany: There, there...

Daria: At least I'm not the one who’s spent all our lives telling people I was adopted in case you need new bone marrow. You're such a coward you'd rather strip naked on the football field than have the guts to admit we’re sisters in public!

Quinn: DARIA!

Sandi [feigning surprise, eyes wide in delight as if this was the best day of her life]: Oh my gosh I can’t believe it. Stacy, Tiffany, can you believe what that weird girl said?

Stacy: Uh…

Tiffany: Saaaaid?

[Ms. Barch and Mr. DeMartino decide to try and break the fight up]

Ms. Barch: It’s a sad day when sisters are at each other’s throats in a male dominated, patriarchal society. Come on, let's break it up.

Mr. DeMartino: Okay girls, let’s cut this little daytime SOAP OPERA before the next BELL!

Ms. Barch: You get your filthy, greasy paws off her you disgusting excuse for a-!

Daria and Quinn: STAY OUT OF THIS!

[DeMartino AND Barch quickly back off, a rare moment where the two have ever been on the same page looking equally scared of Daria and Quinn's mood. The Three Js quickly try to feign ignorance in order to make Quinn happy.]

Brittany: Wait, did Quinn really not know Daria's her sister?

Jodie: No Brittany, Quinn's just lying.

Brittany: Ohhh like how I tell my brother our dad, like, found him under a bridge whenever one of our pets goes missing in his room? At least I don't THINK he found Brian under a bridge.

Jodie: Brittany I don't think we have time today to unpack your family's issues alongside Daria's. Let's save that for next week.

Brittany: Okay!

Jamie: Quinn doesn't have a sister guys that's her cousin!

Joey: No way that's Quinn's nanny!

Jeffy: Stupid she's not Quinn's nanny she's her live-in maid!

Jodie: Are they for real?

Mack: You see what I deal with when Kevin’s not around?

Brittany: Wow, I can’t believe my Kevvy ever wanted to date someone as nasty as Daria’s sister!

Quinn: She’s kidding! She’s not actually my sister. My cousin’s just delusional with grief!

Daria: Yes, SISTER! [Quinn winces] Her sister who’s tired of putting up with her crap and everyone else’s crap!

Mack: Uh-oh.

Jodie: Oh man.

Brittany: Eep!

Upchuck: Feisty!

Andrea: It's always the quiet ones.

Jane (growing more worried by the second): Daria, please. Forget about Quinn and let’s just-Daria!

[As the arguing gets worse, we zoom in on Daria and Quinn. As it happens, we notice the expressions on those around them are quickly looking identically concerned and worried until we can only see the two sisters. We see Jodie’s angled through the crowd and is next to Jane, exchanging worried expressions]

Daria: You wanna know why I care about what happens to Aunt Amy? Because I feel like I’m the only one who does care! Mom was at least willing to pretend she cared, but then Rita and Grandma showed up to put a stop to that. And Dad’s too scared to get involved in case Mom rips his head off, so he’s been utterly useless but what else is new?!

Jodie: Daria you don’t mean that.

Jane: I don't think she's ever meant it more than she does right now, unfortunately.

Daria: Because Aunt Amy’s the only person who ever consistently made me feel like I have a family that cares about me as a person! Who’s not constantly getting on my case about what I wear or what I like to do-

Quinn: Have you ANY IDEA how many snide remarks I’ve heard from you over the years-

Daria: And maybe, just maybe, I have a future worth looking forward to that’s not going to be defined by the shit I have to deal with from people like you!

[Jane and Jodie are now trying to pull Daria away from Quinn, while Stacy and Tiffany have broken from Sandi to try and pry Quinn back.]

Quinn: Well then go live with Aunt Amy if you think she’s so great! You should’ve been living with her all along because you’re both a couple of weirdo geek losers! Half the time I think Mom and Dad bought you from her, but I doubt anyone would’ve ever spent money to have a baby like you!

Daria: You mean an unpopular baby?

Quinn: I mean A FREAK!

Jane: Quinn shut the hell up!

Jodie: Quinn that’s enough!

Stacy: Stop fighting you two!

Tiffany (more animated than usual): Stop it, Quinn!

Quinn: So go live with Aunt Amy and stop ruining my life like you always do! Then we’d all be a lot happier if you were gone!

Daria: Oh anything to make you happy, SIS!

[There’s enough venom in the word to take down a full grown elephant. That last “sis” is the straw to break Quinn’s back to the point she grabs Daria and pushes her against the lockers]

Quinn: AND THE NEXT TIME SHE PLOWS HER CAR INTO A TREE I HOPE YOU’RE IN FRONT OF IT!

GASP!

[The silence that follows this outburst is smothering. Quinn’s clamped her hands over her mouth, eyes wide in shock. Daria’s had the wind taken right out of her. Her glasses have fallen off. She puts a hand to her head before looking at her sister.]

Daria: …

Quinn: I, I didn’t. Daria I would never-

Sandi (subdued as Tiffany and Stacy back up next to her again): Did she just say what I think she said?

Tiffany: Oh, Quinn…

Stacy (lip trembling): Quinn how could you?

[From Daria’s POV, we see Quinn looking horrified as she realizes what she just said while those standing around Quinn – THE FASHION CLUB, THE THREE JS, BROOKE, MR. DEMARTINO AND MS. BARCH, AND SEVERAL OTHER BACKGROUND STUDENTS – are all giving Daria sympathetic and shocked expressions. Tiffany’s shaking her head in disappointment. Stacy’s crying, the way a child cries seeing their parents arguing. You know a situation is messed up when even SANDI feels bad for someone.]

[From Quinn’s POV, Daria is looking more emotionally exhausted and hurt than we’ve ever seen her look before. While JANE, JODIE, MACK, BRITTANY, ANDREA, UPCHUCK, MR. O’NEILL AND MRS. BENNETT, are giving Quinn looks that range from disgusted, shocked, and enraged. Even Mr. O’Neill is frowning in Quinn’s direction. Jane looks like she wants to tear Quinn’s throat out. Without a word, Daria turns around and starts running through the crowd behind her.]

Jodie: Daria!

Jane: Daria wait!

[Jodie and Jane follow after Daria, with Jane stopping to give Quinn one last withering glare before departing after her friend.]

Ms. Li: What on Earth is with all this shouting?! Why are you people congregating in the halls like this? Unofficial assemblies are a violation of school policy! And did I see Daria Morgendorffer leaving school property before dismissal?

Mr. DeMartino: I be-LIEVE you should ask the younger Miss Morgendorffer about why we're CONGREGATING. SHE can tell you all about the BLISTERING DISCUSSION she just had with her SIS-TER. ISN’T THAT RIGHT, QUINN?!

Ms. Barch: Yes Quinn, inform Ms. Li about why your SISTER left school.

Quinn: I...

Ms. Li: Miss Morgendorffer, I'm waiting.

Kevin (oblivious as always): Yo Mack Daddy, I was in the boys room when I heard a bunch of shouting, what’d I miss?

Mack: Daria’s sister pushed her against the lockers and told her to get killed.

Ms. Li: What?!

Kevin: Whoa! That's not cool, Quinn.

Quinn: I didn’t say that!

Andrea: You just heavily implied it.

Quinn: I didn’t mean to!

Upchuck: Save it Toots, the dumb act's not gonna help you this time.

Brittany: Yeah! Like, what do you think we are? Stupid?

[Tears running down her cheeks, Quinn runs away down the opposite end of the hallway. No one follows after her.]

1) The caption read: "Aaron just said WHAT?!? You won't want to miss a second when #TheRookie returns, March 21 on ABC and Stream on Hulu."

In one clip, Tim Bradford and Lucy Chen (played by Eric Winter and Melissa O'Neil) are giving an interview about their undercover mission, when Tim says: "As police officers, your future is ever certain."

The upcoming episode promo teased Eric's death

In the next scene, Wade Grey (Richard T. Jones) tells the documentary crew: "Which made what happened next so tragic," before cutting to Aaron Thorsen (Tru Valentino) opening a trash can and telling his team over the radio: "I just found a body. It's Sergeant Tim Bradford."

Taking to the comments section, fans expressed their fears for Tim. Referring to Tim's relationship with Lucy, one person wrote: "My Chenford heart will NOT SURVIVE THIS EPISODE!!"

Fans are concerned for Eric's safety

A second fan tweeted: "No, I don't think you understand... like, I love the whole cast but Tim is my favorite character. It better be Jake. I won't get over it if it's Tim," while another added: "No, what did you do? Don't play with me @therookie I'm already emotionally unstable."

Other fans expressed their frustration at having to wait three weeks for the new episode, with one person writing: "MAN WE REALLY HAVE TO WAIT 3 WEEKS !!!???? HOW CAN YOU DO THAT," while another added: "This better be Jake. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL MARCH 21st?!!!!!!!!"

2) The Rookie is known for its light-hearted tone, but Season 5, Episode 16, "Exposed" took that to the next level with some overt comedy. It was a Valentine's Day episode, so everyone at the LAPD had their big plans. But everyone also had problems with their significant others. Naturally, that led to some hilariously awkward situations and more than a few laughs.

3) The Rookie hints at the tragic death of beloved character in tense promo clip

ABC’s hit crime drama The Rookie is heading for a lengthy hiatus and producers haven't made the wait for its return any easier after releasing a nail-biting trailer, teasing the death of one of the show's beloved characters, sergeant Tim Bradford

Set to air on March 21, the episode appears to be another mockumentary-style instalment.

Alongside the promo clip, a caption read: "Aaron just said WHAT?!? You won't want to miss a second when #TheRookie returns, March 21 on ABC and Stream on Hulu."

One clip showed Tim Bradford (Eric Winter) and Lucy Chen ( Melissa O'Neil) during an interview about their undercover mission.

Tim then says: "As police officers, your future is never certain."

As dramatic music began to play, the cameras cut to Wade Grey (Richard T. Jones) as he says: "Which made what happened next so tragic”.

A montage of clips plays, showing tense scenes, before showing Aaron Thorsen (Tru Valentino) opening a trash can.

Aaron then radios to his team saying: "I just found a body. It's Sergeant Tim Bradford."

Fans were understandably in a panic at the thought of the much-loved character being found dead.

One fan @livviechens wrote: OH MY F***ING GOD?!? Another @KateyKGecko echoed: “WHAT?!” followed by a GIF of a lady looking panicked.

@LadiiJessica21 agreed: “I can’t!!! This preview is the best and most stressful thing I have seen lol (in regards to the promos)”

@RachelSL commented: “The anticipation is REAL!!! Thank you for dropping this preview. TONS to chew on for at LEAST one of the weeks in this 3-week wait!”

Despite most being worried about what lies in store for Officer Tim Bradford, not all were convinced it was the end for the character.

As one user @KingofBricks attempted to calm down his fellow fans by saying: “Guys I don’t think Tim is dead.

"If you keep watching the promo you can see Tim talking during the interview with Lucy. In the last documentary episodes, the crew always interviews everyone after the case is closed.

"So I think or hope it was the fake Tim (sorry Jake) or a different body in the dumpster.”

But as the force's oldest rookie, he's met with scepticism from those higher up the corporate ladder, who see him as just a walking midlife crisis.

The Rookie has not been cancelled or renewed for a sixth season as of yet.

The Rookie is streaming on NOW TV in the UK or Hulu in the US.

Felonies, as always, are grounds for American citizenship, especially if approached in opposition to the British Commonwealth (American Lodge status, fraction Native American blood declared) or through CIA patronage (drugs and arms cartels, to support civil wars).

Father's Side:

Lan del Ray: Usurpation of the Crown (false felony, actually the crown; dissention orders, Government of Transvaal, fleeing and hiding in absentia).

Blackbeard: Falsification of notation, in the face of Leviathan (megalodon, two killed).

Ernest Charlebois: Defection from Canada Department, for "Luciano Crime Syndicate" (Attleboro Carpet, "Attleboro Mob", common usurpation of the crown).

Jake Charlebois: War crimes, depicted self as Hitler, Minnesota State University, professional collegiate football draft.

David Charlebois: Approach of Jews, as if scaling point (print of Gotham, ULTRA test protocols, war with government of France, citizenship claimed by reasons of being homosexual, Nicholas Maynard testifying; cleared by Syrian bombings, of French city states).

Top Ten Biggest Polt Twists in Animation (in my opinion).

Spoiler Warning

10. April is a mutant (TMNT 2012)

In this incarnation of TMNT, the turtles fight the evil Kraang. Their main target is April O'Neil. The reasons why have been kept vague until it is revealed that she herself is a mutant! Not any mutant but a combination of Kraang and human DNA.

9. The Philosopher Stone is made out of People (Fullmetal Alchemist series)

Brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric committed the ultimate taboo and attempted to bring back their deceased mother. However, in the process Ed lost his arm and leg while Alphonse lost his body and became a soul bound to a suit of armor. The brothers came to believe that only the philosopher stone, who is said to hold unlimited alcchemic potential, was the only way to get their bodies back to normal. That dream is shattered when they learn that the stone is made by killing thousands of people.

8. The Author was Stan's Twin Brother (Gravity Falls)

Gravity Falls is a town that holds many secrets. During their summer visiting their great uncle Stan, Dipper and Mabel discover a mysterious book that holds the secrets that lie beneath Gravity Falls. A major theme throughout this show is "who is the author" the mystery twins encounter many strang things in their quest to find out who they are. Only to have it revealed that Stan's brother was the author.

7. Chad is still in the KND (Codename Kids Nextdoor)

In the beginning of this series, Chad or #274, was the leader of the KND. Until his 13th birthday, when he betrayed them. Throughout the series Chad joins the KNDs nemesis, the teenagers, and takes a part in their plots to destroy the KND. However, when #1 is given a chance to take him out, Chad reveals that he never left the KND and was working as a spy.

6. Grandpa Max was a Plumber (Ben 10)

Ben 10 tells the story of ten year old Ben Tennyson who is on summer vacation with is grandfather and cousin, traveling the U.S in an old RV. On the first night Ben finds the Omnitrex, a device that allows him to transform into different aliens.

By the end of the first season Max reveals that he was a Plumber, an intergalactic police officer, and had know the whole time what the Omnitrex was and the Aliens Ben transformed into. While not a huge twist (the series would have some bigger ones as it continued) it was still a shock to learn that Max knew what was going on the whole time.

5. Rose betrayed the Huntsclan (American Dragon: Jake Long)

Dragon Jake Long fell in love with a member of The Huntsclan, Rose or Huntsgirl. However, she in turn fell in love with Jake not knowing that he was a dragon. Rose gets the chance to kill Jake, if she does she will become a full fledged member, but Jake shows her his human face. In turn she lets him go and runs away.

During the second season, the Huntsclan attemp to destroy every magical creature by using mythical skulls that grant anyone who brings them together a perfect wish (Think the dragonballs). In the last moment she strikes down her master and instead wishes for the destruction of the Huntsclan, knowing that that will include her.

4. Rose Quortz was Pink Diamond (Steven Universe)

Many believed that Rose Quortz, the leader of the resistance and mother of Steven, had shattered Pink Diamond, one of the heads of the Gems. However it is revealed in season 5 that she WAS pink diamond and had faked her own death to protect the Earth.

3. Nagisa's blood lust came from his mother (Assassination Classroom)

Class 3E is the bottom of society, but they have been given the chance of a lifetime. A being who can move at mock 20 says that he will destroy the Earth in one year, unless one of them can Assassinate him. He takes on the role of their homeroom teacher to better prepare them.

Out of all the students in 3E, Nagisa Shoita was the lest impressive. He was small, weak, and looked more feminine than his female classmates. Yet, Nagisa has the national talent of an assassin. He managed to get the drop on their gym teacher, a man who is skilled in many fighting styles, and took down an ex military officer (twice). He has surprised his classmates with his abilities, feom getting the drop on top assassins, including their homeroom teacher, to installing fear with just a glare.

However, this came at a price. His mother is abusive beyond reason. She forces Nagisa to grow his hair long, makes him wear dresses and other feminine clothing. On several occasions she has bashed his head into solid objects. She is unpredictable, forcing Nagisa to do what all children in that situation do, learn to control his emotions and read the thoughts of others. This woman created a viper.

2. Eric Cartman and Scott Tenerman are brothers (South Park)

Cartmans mom has always been loose. The identity of her son's father was likely going to stay a mystery. But during the second episode of season 2 we get our answer (kinda). The answer was given now we could move on.

In a later episode Cartman gets scammed and humiliated by Scott Tenerman, an older teenager. So, Cartman devises a scheme. In the end Scotts parents are dead and eaten in some chille.

Many seasons later its revealed that Scott's Father and Eric's are one and the same. Ms. Cartman amd the town had lied about his identity in order to protect his public image. Thus Cartman killed his own father.

1. Zak Saturday is Kur (The Secret Saturdays)

From the beginning I knew this would be number one.

The Secret Saturdays is about a family of scientists who study crypteds, or strange creatures with unique abilities. The most dangerous was Kur, a creature said to have the power to raise a crypted army and take over the world. Zak has the ability to manipulate crypteds leaving him and his family to believe that shoukd Kur be unleashed onto the world, Zaks power woukd be the only thing that coukd stop it.

At the end of season 1, the truth is revealed that Zak IS Kur.

The entire first season is dedicated to finding Kur and talking about how dangerous he is. Then it turns out that it's Zak, a 12 year old boy with a kind heart. I cannot describe how shocked I was, then having to wait years to find out the outcome (we moved around alot) killed me.

Remember that this is my opinion. What are some of your favorite plot twists in animation?

Round 11

THE SEA EAGLE

MAKING RUGBY LEAGUE TRULY GREAT AGAIN!!!

Round 11

Manly Sea Eagles 28

Defeated

Parramatta Eels 6

This was a display of muscle, power and solid defence tinged also with sadness following news of the unfortunate passing of immortal and Manly legend Bob Fulton who for obvious reasons will be the focus of this week’s report (see below). Bozo’s passing no doubt cast a shroud of sadness over the Manly camp, but not surprisingly showing due respect to the great man, Manly smashed the hapless Eels into submission in this away fixture at Bankwest.

Manly now have staked their claim as a genuine top eight side and possible top four contender (as long as Tommy Turbo plays).

Manly were up for a big game and they delivered. Manly have now gone from wooden spoon contenders to top 8 contenders in the space of 6 weeks. In fact as it stands today, only the high rolling Panthers and to a lesser extent, the Filthy Wrestlers are playing in better form.

The impact of the Manly forwards in taking the game to their allegedly more fancied Eels rivals cannot be underestimated in this one. Manly gave it to the Eels forward pack and came up convincing winners. When the Manly forwards dominate in a side that contains the likes of Tommy Turbo (and also the second Turbo known simply as Saab Turbo - ie Jason Saab), backed up with the skill and class of Cherry Baby and Turbo's brother Jake, rising star Josh Schuster and quality goal kicking from Ruben Garrick, it will take a very good side to defeat Manly.

In this fixture that side was certainly not Parramatta.

Special mention must also go to young Reuben Garrick who is sharp shooter with the kicking boot , and is now showing a lot of class on the wing. Young Garrick, a Gerringong junior formerly mentored by Eel legend Mick Cronin, could well have drifted away this season, but he has held strong, no doubt under the coaching of master coach Des Hasler. Manly are the better for it.

The Sea Eagle would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the performance of ever improving centre Brad Parker. The Sea Eagle now officially retracts all prior criticism of the attributes of Brad Parker in questioning his ability as a genuine first grader. The time has come to announce that Brad Parker certainly is now of first grade quality and the Sea Eagle publicly apologises for all prior criticism in not recognising what obviously the Manly football management and coaching staff clearly did, and that was to persevere with young Parker.

Wallabies now sponsored by Cadbury

Cadbury now sponsor the Wannabees.

How did Darrel Lea let this one slip by, who wouldn’t want to see the brand “Soft Centres” on the back of each Wallaby player???

Still, we still have the prospect of a Wallaby renaming to the Caramello Bears to look forward to.

Or perhaps:

And, as a sponsor incentive, if they start winning some big games (to wit a Bledisloe Cup or a World Cup):

At least we won’t have to put up with QANTAS as a Wannabee sponsor and their Woke view on the world. The handling of the Israel Folau debacle surely must be placed at the feet of this shameful airline (personal opinion).

Woke Soft Co8!ck Award of the Week

Absolute stand out this week. The organisation known as PETA. These clowns go by the name People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Their motto “ANIMALS ARE NOT OURS TO EXPERIMENT ON, EAT, WEAR, USE FOR ENTERTAINMENT, OR ABUSE IN ANY OTHER WAY”

This week these geniuses disputed the traditional methods used to eradicate the potential life threatening consequences of the western NSW mouse plague (life threatening terms of destruction of food for livestock and for humans to eat). Those methods being poison and associated other nasties to send said rodents to Manyana for ever.

As per the 3AW website on 19 May 2021

Animal rights organisation PETA is advocating for mice, as a mouse plague wreaks havoc in NSW, Queensland and some parts of regional Victoria.

Crops are being destroyed, farmhouses are being invaded, and there are reports some farmers are being forced to spend up to six hours cleaning up mouse droppings.

….

In a radio interview ****, PETA spokesperson XXXX , …

“Our common advice to rodent overpopulation is, of course, to avoid poison which subjects these animals to unbearably painful deaths but also pose the risk of spreading bacteria, and there are alternatives which exist,” she said.

XXXXX blamed governments for the mouse plague.

“It is so unfair that these mice are going to suffer these horrible deaths,” she said.

“It’s the fault of the government because they really should have taken control of this situation earlier .. through humane methods like humane trapping, birth control.

“Their inaction months ago has led to this situation.

“The situation has gotten so bad that not only farmers are suffering, but mice are suffering.””

Sea Eagle Comment:

Whilst cruelty to animals can never be condoned, and live exports fits nicely into that basket, the simple fact remains that humans like beef, chicken, pork, fish, kangaroo, veal and a range of other animals to eat. As well, there is no doubt a wild fish (eg Shark) or mammal (eg bear, dog, lion, tiger etc etc) will not hesitate to take out a human or anything else within its range, in order to eat, or defend themselves, at will, and with impunity. So too will a plague of mice if given half a chance.

Have these clowns never heard of the famous fairy tale the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Perhaps one of them could go through their school things, pull out the old recorder, and take a trip to the Western NSW and see if they can play a nice little ditty to persuade these rodents to follow them into to the Murray Darling basin (PETA members going in first), in order to avoid mice extermination by poison (or attempted extermination by poison by humans). Death under this scenario of course, still being inevitable to said mouse.

The Sea Eagle recognises here that the mice have the upper hand. Firstly though they be small, they be many, and they reproduce at exponential rates. It is probably already too late to stop them.

The Sea Eagle would personally like to see a few card carrying members of PETA, as part of the 2021 Origin series pre game entertainment, to be forced to run successive sets of six against the respective NSW Under 18’s and Queensland Under 18’s forward packs, the task being to see if PETA can break the defensive line. Who wouldn’t want to see that.

And, in the interest of gender equality, perhaps a pre match parade around the ground (if for no other reason than to see how a rugby league crowd might react to a bit of gender equality morphed into animal rights activism) – ie. something along these lines:

VALE BOB FULTON

Manly Sea Eagles legend and rugby league Immortal Bob Fulton has died at age 74 after a long battle with cancer. The news was announced on 2GB by one of Bob Fulton’s closest friends, Ray Hadley.

The legendary Manly, NSW and Australian representative is survived by his wife Anne, sons Scott, and Brett, and daughter Kristie.

Bob Fulton joined Manly in 1966 aged 18. He never played reserve grade. He won premierships with the club in 1972 and 1973 before captaining the Sea Eagles to a third title in 1976, in his last game for the club. He also played in two other grand finals for Manly in 1968 and 1970 where Mainly were unsuccessful against the then mighty South Sydney Rabbitohs.

He joined Easts in 1977. He took over as captain-coach of Easts in 1979 but his playing career came to an end midway through the season after succumbing to a knee injury. With Bob Fulton as full time coach, Easts qualified for the 1980 grand final and were minor premiers that season. Unfortunately, Easts lost the 1980 grand final losing to the then very strong Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs (the Entertainers).

At this point, mention needs to be made of the well known phenomenon known simply as “they never go better when they leave the Nest”.

In the case of Bob Fulton, he is an obvious exception to the rule. Whilst it's true he did not win a Premiership for Easts after having left Manly in the late 70’s, it could hardly be said that he went worse, particularly when he was coming off an exceptionally high benchmark. He still played for Australia and captained Australia through to the end of his career. That he made a GF in his first full year of first grade coaching, proves that he certainly did not go too much worse, in fact he was only just beginning his meteoric rise as a coach.

Bob Fulton of course returned to Manly in 1983, where he stayed for the rest of his rugby league career. After losing the 1983 grand final to the then mighty Parramatta Eels, he steered Manly to premierships in 1987 and 1996, and coached Australia from 1989 to 1998. During this period he coached Manly to 5 grand finals for two Premiership wins.

This coaching record alone proves that it is well and truly possible for a former Manly player to maintain the same high standards when they return to the Nest, and there's no doubt that Bob Fulton maintained the same high levels of winning success upon his return to Manly as coach and the absolute head of football during that time.

As an Australian Test coach he led the Kangaroos to two World Cup victories and numerous test successes.

Bob Fulton was part of the first four players to be granted status as ‘Immortal’ in 1981, alongside Clive Churchill, Reg Gasnier, and Johnny Raper. To be named in the Immortals is the highest honour in Australian rugby league and there can be no doubt that Bob Fulton deserved that accolade.

Manly have had some very good players over the history. Players like Roy Bull, Rex Mossop, John O'Neill, Malcolm Reilly, Fred Jones, Max Krillich, Graham Eadie, Terry Randall, Paul Vautin, Des Hasler, Cliff Lyons, Michael O'Connor, Geoff Toovey, Steve Menzies, Glenn and Brett Stewart, to name a few. No doubt there are plenty more, who cannot be named in the interests of brevity. And then there is the current crop of Cherry Baby, Jake Trbojevic and of course his brother Tommy Turbo.

With that said, and in such illustrious company, there is still no doubt that the best Manly player ever was Bob Fulton.

As a Coach, whilst it might be considered a close thing when one considers the top line coaching abilities of the likes of Ron Willey, Frank Stanton and current coach Des Hasler, in the Sea Eagle’s opinion, Bob Fulton was the best Manly coach of all time.

The Sea Eagle had the privilege of watching Bob Fulton play live on many occasions as a young lad growing up. Simply put there was nothing quite like him. He was remarkably strong defensively, had blinding acceleration, he could draw and pass, he could offload, he could chip over the top regather and score, and he was not injury prone. Above all else, he was always the difference between Manly winning and not losing, when it really mattered.

The Sea Eagle recalls seeing on one occasion in the 70’s, at a church at Manly, a sign displayed that asked the simple question “What would you do if Jesus returned tomorrow?”. In a time when Graffiti was unheard of, someone had written their well-researched answer underneath said sign, which was “put him at 5/8 and move Bobby Fulton to centre”.

There is not much more that needs or can be said.

May he rest in peace.

THE SEA EAGLE

Saw Ask the Ocs from lucans blog and the jade incident, and saw you had a hand with helping developing it!

A) I think it's cool! You two did an amazing job

B) what was storms reaction, and the rest of their teams reaction? I know Storm was involved so their thoughts might not be much, but it's still interesting

Storm- "I have scars on my knees from that you know. Messy, crunchy, zig-zaggy scars, all because they broke my knees with a baseball bat." They grumbled leaning back in their chair. “I was in a coma for about a month afterwards, just so they could at least repair the damage. Couldn't walk after that for a little while. It was terrifying, to say the least. Between the torture and the bomb, what I did was reckless and incredibly stupid. I didn’t see any other option. My goal was get Moose and go, but it didn’t work out like that. Instead got near buried alive, again. I was in too much pain to really process that I was under rubble, so that’s a bonus. The coma was…nice. No visions of my closest people dying, no pain, no stress. Just fucking floating like a dead fish. I barely remember the rescue and I don’t know if that’s the trauma talking or something else. Honestly, I’m just glad to be alive. I am well aware that eventually we all come back but I take a whole lot longer and well the others might not take it kindly.

Bes- “When Joseph came in with that laptop and played that sound bite, I wanted to go on a rampage. I wanted to go out, hunt jade down, and beat him til even the gods don’t recognize his soul. But. But. But. That’s not how SHC works anymore. So we played by Laswell’s ear. Storm doesn’t bounce back like the rest of us. What will take hours for us, will take days for them. Up until we got paidí mou back, I wasn't thinking clearly. Even then afterwards, It took me a minute to realize that I shouldn’t rush off to kick Jade’s head in. I was probably the first one around their bedside aside from Joseph.

Merc- We work closely with Dante and 141, after all sh6 is considered a medic only squad. It was supposed to be a simple observation mission. Wilson was point, Avery was back up, and Joseph was navigation. The info was bad. There was no meeting. Just an ambush. The thud of Avery hitting concrete from a catwalk to be knocked out is very likely a sound I will never want to here again. Jake was the angriest of us. Wanted to go out and paint a building with Jade’s blood. Taylor and I managed to talk him out of it. That doesn’t mean we didn’t have our own struggles. When storm was in recovery, I will admit I thought of calling in a few friends and favors, and hunting Jade myself. Taylor talked me out of it while my husband was at storm’s bedside.

Fen- It was scary. We are all trained to resist interrogation and have died enough to have a knack for it. But this, this was terrifying. Avery is a lot of people’s little sibling. We are protective of them, even in our line of work. So to have your hands tied in red tape while you get video and message of hurting your little sibling, well there’s not a lot of good guy attitude after it. When it came to the bomb going off with those two still in the building, Thank the gods Joseph still had his head about. They did about tear Ghost’s head off for suggesting a mercy kill after finding the two, but I was relieved. We managed to dig them out and get them to the nearest hospital. After that was a waiting game. Michael and Jake are impatient. I had to talk them both down from running out and splattering jade across the pavement. That isn't to say I fully discouraged. We’ve been working on tracking him down, and when the time comes, well we’ll make sure there isn’t a piece of him left even for the crows.

Moving On - Zombie AU

Chapter 1: The First Few Days

Characters:

Jake "Bes" O'Neil (Owned by Divoha)

Daniel "Moose" Wilson

Monica "Cotton" Garcia-Wilson

After Storm's death, the group has to figure out what to do

Mentions of Death, Suicide and Self Harm

It had been a few days since the incident.

Word had spread quickly, and it was a complete shock to everyone, and it was now a time of grieving.

Ferret, Bes and Moose took it the worst, those close needed time to readjust.

Ferret had to spend most of their time in the infirmary, due to the injury, and the shock in general, barely eating, and staying in bed.

Bes was angry. Angry at himself for sending the two kids in that area. He had spoken to Merc about his feelings, and was assured it was not his fault, though it barely did anything to his grief-stricken state.

Moose, was broken. Fully. He had lost quite a few people he really cared about. Sun, Nicholas, Soot, Lumberjack, and now Storm. Cotton had been keeping a close eye on him, in case he did anything drastic. He was not permitted to have firearms, or sharp objects.

Hurricane, Soap, Ghost, Roach and Cotton were…coping, to say the least. It was too quiet without Storm’s antics.The arguing with them they truly missed. They got together, and made a memorial for them to put with the others. Pictures of them were placed on the board they had, filled with others they had lost to the plague, and things they loved. Below the board, their dinosaur plushie was placed next to a few other items of importance, like the steel axe Lumberjack had, before he passed.

Cotton was doing her usual rounds of check up, usually she had to be reminded by Fen or Merc. She’d write down in a worn down notepad and leave the notes with Merc before moving on to the next set of people. However, she focused on the three people who were still very shook up by Storm’s death. She’d leave Ferret till last, since they’re in the infirmary.

She wandered over to Bes, who was trying to keep himself busy reloading firearms, or sharpening dull blades.

“Bes?” she murmured softly.

Bes looked up. He looked exhausted, sleep had not been kind to him for the past few days.

Cotton winced at his exhaustion. “I need to do a check up. But…in all honesty? You need sleep.”

Bes grunted. “I’ll sleep later.”

“Hurricane can take over what you’re doing. As a medic, I’m telling you to sleep.”

“And if I don’t?” Bes narrowed his eyes.

“I’m sure Merc wouldn’t mind dragging you to get some sleep, O’Neil.”

Bes hesitated, before letting out a sigh.

“Fine. Whatever.” He unceremoniously dropped the knife he was sharpening, and walked off in what Cotton could describe as a rather shit mood.

She wrote in her notebook.

‘Bes is mad. Been a few days. He hasn’t slept. Check up in the evening. Might need to take out the sleep medication rations.'

Next, she had to find Moose. His whereabouts weren’t the same any more, so she had to actually search for him.

Cotton was the most worried about Moose at this current point. She had seen his depression, and it had never gotten to the point where he had actively thought death was a good option. She had made a mental note to check Moose’s wrists, as she knew of his history with harming himself, though she worried that he could be doing it in any other way, especially not taking any food, which she knew he was doing, but it was hard to get him to have any appetite.

She found him sitting under a tree, looking vacant, like he was staring off into space.

Cotton cautiously approached him, as to not scare him, and hurt both herself and him in the progress.

“Dad?” she called softly, but Moose didn’t react.

She sighed, before gently shaking his shoulder, which made him flinch, and return back into the present.

Moose looked at her for a few moments with confusion, before blinking and sighing. “Sorry. Lost in thought.” he rasped.

“It’s alright.” Cotton reassured him, before sitting down beside him. “How are you doing?”

“Fine.”

“I can tell you’re not.”

Moose glanced at her, and sighed, leaning against the tree trunk.

“Okay fine. Truthfully? I feel like this world is just rooting for everyone I know to die, and it’s making it happen in the shittest ways.”

Cotton nodded sympathetically. “It can feel like that when you have depression, dad.”

Moose grunted in response.

“Anything else? Your sleep? Have you been eating? H-” She cut herself off, unsure whether to ask about the self harming stuff.

Moose shrugged. “Haven’t slept. Food just doesn’t appeal to me right now.” Moose subconsciously scratched at his wrists, which Cotton noticed.

She gently placed her hand on his wrist. “Can I have a look?”

Moose hesitated, but slowly nodded.

Cotton rolled his sleeves up and grimaced. The skin on Moose’s wrists was red and inflamed from continuous scratching.

“I’m going to have to bandage this.” she murmured. Moose looked like he wanted to object, but Cotton glared.

“If I don’t you’ll scratch it to the point it bleed, then it’ll get infected.”

She took out some bandages and wrapped Moose’s hands and wrists in it. “This is for your own good, Dad. Storm would have floored your ass if they saw you doing this.”

“Well, they can’t. They’re not here.” Moose said bluntly.

Cotton sighed. “I’m also taking you to the infirmary so I can keep an eye on you.”

“What?! But I-”

“No buts, Daniel!” Cotton retorted. “Truth be told I barely trust you out here! Hell, I barely trust Bes, but he has Merc and Fen, and he actually speaks to them, but with us, you don’t!”

Moose lowered his gaze.

Cotton shook her head “Look. I’m not mad. I’m just trying to figure out how to help. Now come on, you need to sleep. I’ll give you some meds so it’ll keep your energy going for longer.”

A Little Spliffette - A Brassic Fic

Part 1

Watching that police van drive away was one of the hardest things Erin had to ever do. The first hardest thing she had to do was to lie about Tyler's father... if she could do it again, she probably would have told Vinnie from the start.

Despite his faults, ever since he found out about Tyler being his son he stepped up. Tyler was still in the dark about it. Perhaps, one day when he would understand, she would tell him.

She lied.

Vinnie was never "just a shag".

Dylan had never said anything remotely like what Vinnie had said to her as the police dragged away.

Whispering it back was impulse. Deep down she always knew that she felt something for Vincent O'Neil that she didn't feel for anyone else.

Not Dylan.

And certainly not Jake.

"Ah... me fucking head." He groaned the morning after they did it. She was sitting at the edge of the bed, putting her shoes on.

Vinnie sat himself up and looked her up and down with his eyebrows furrowed.

"Erin... jesus. What the fuck did I drink last night?"

Erin turned her head to the side with a smile even though what she was feeling was deep shame and regret.

"You mixed drink and pills." Erin reminded him. "You always get like that."

"I really need to stop doing that." Vinnie had a hand on the side of his head. He looked to the side of the bed that Erin had woken up in. "Did we...? Cuz... I'm gonna be honest. I was so wasted. Can't bloody remember what happened last night."

The sentence that followed had the power to alter the course of the future.

"No." Erin lied. "You just passed out. You had your arm around me and I didn't want to wake you up."

Vinnie nodded, "...you wouldn't want a piece of this when I'm hammered anyway..."

He was good though. Erin couldn't help but think that. Perhaps it was his mind that made him more... calmer in bed. Despite everything that happened to him, Vinnie was a good man and it killed her to lie.

"You want some breakfast?" Erin asked.

"You sure?" Vinnie tilted his head, "don't want to be a bother."

"It's fine."

Quinn’s Code - The Grounded Geek - Part 2

January 19, 2006

The next morning, as Quinn entered the kitchen Jake burst into song. ��“There she is, Miss American Bookworm.” He then said “You really must have been burning the midnight oil last night.”

“What do you mean?” Quinn asked.

“I mean your Shakespeare study group.”

Her excuse from the previous evening had slipped her mind. “What are you talking about?”

“The study group you went to. The sign in sheet said you got back at eleven-thirty...” Jake paused. “But now that I think about it, I went to bed at eleven-forty-five. Hey, I thought you got that watch fixed?”

“A couple of times,” Daria said. Toast popped up. “Prepare to be busted! She said in a gloating tone.

Quinn then remembered the previous evening. “Oops!” she whispered.

“Quinn, were you at a study group last night or did you go on a date?” Helen asked angrily. She had thought that her younger daughter knew better...

“Don't you see how your new rules are strangling me? Yes, I went on a date, but he's interesting.”

“Interesting, you mean you're in love with him?” Jake asked.

“With whom,” Helen asked.

“No! Don't put words in my mouth.” Quinn said. She paused. She couldn't quite remember his name. “Cliff, or Clint, is just a friend. That's all.”

“You don't even know his name, and you're in love with him!” Jake raged.

“You know what? You didn't listen to me! I said he's just a friend.”

Jake didn't let that deter him. “Do you have any idea how many of these rules you've broken?!”

Daria closed the tablets. “How many, Dad? And which ones?”

“Wha... what's that got to do with it?” Jake asked, confused.

Quinn gave in. “OK, ground me!” she directed.

“I wish it were that simple,” Helen said.

“Exactly,” Jake said. “What?”

Helen pointed to a point on one of the tablets.

Family Court

“You've got to be kidding me,” Daria said.

“That's not a good answer,” Helen said..

On the way to school, Quinn met with her friends, Cindy Brolsma and Kristen Bell. “What's up?” Cindy asked, noticing that Quinn was slightly out of sorts (in that she wasn't very talkative, and wasn't as bright as she habitually was.)

“Oh, If Mom just wants to ground me for being late two nights in a row, she should just ground me! Not institute some experimental 'Family Court'!”

“Family Court?” Kristen asked, curious.

“Exactly what it sounds like,” Quinn said.

“Sounds, strange,” Kristen said.

“You want to get grounded?” Cindy asked incredulously.

“Of course not! But I don't want it dragged out in a long 'process' either,” Quinn grumbled.

“I wouldn't either,” Kristen said.

“That would be annoying,” Cindy agreed.

“Tell me about it!”

Between classes Daria was at her locker with her friends, Jane Lane and Jennifer Burns. “So instead of saying, 'Don't come home so late,' now they've created some elaborate punishment system.

“You mean like a spanking machine?” Jane asked.

“I mean like Family Court,” Daria said.

“That sounds, weird,” Jennifer stated.

“Due process? Jane asked, rhetorically. “Yikes.”

Jodie Landon then came up. “Hey, you guys wanna buy tickets for the faculty-DJ roller hockey game?”

“We'll take three,” Jane said.

Jennifer nodded.

Daria was incredulous. “What? You're gonna pay to watch teachers skate around with DJs? Classic rock DJs?”

“You weren't here last year, Daria,” Jodie said. She launched into a description of the previous year's game...

Flashback – 50 weeks earlier

Roller Hockey Game

History teacher Mr. Anthony DeMartino contested with 'Rock & Roll Randy' for the puck.

Mr. DeMartino grabbed his chest. “Argh!” He collapsed to the floor.

Rock & Roll Randy was then in control of the puck. “Rock and roll, foreva!”

“Help... me.”

Language Arts Teacher Mr. Timothy O'Neil stopped next to his colleague. “Oh No! Anthony! Someone get the paramedics!”

Mr. DeMartino lay still on the floor.

End Flashback - Present

“Mr. DeMartino had to have an emergency angioplasty. He almost died,” Jodie explained.

“What are you saying?” Daria asked.

“You know how there are people who go to car races on the chance that they might see a crash?” Jodie asked.

Daria took out some money. “I'm in,” she said.

“Cool.”

“This is going to be great!” Jane said.

Conan Share Earth-Shaking Set at The Live Room in Belfast (plus Interview!)

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

Doomed & Stoned is proud to partner with CONAN and The Live Room Belfast to share this striking live studio performance of the band playing three of their standards: "Total Conquest," "Satsumo," and "Gravity Chasm." This comes just weeks ahead of Conan's new album, 'Existential Void Guardian' (2018), releasing September 14th on Napalm Records.

Start Together Studio recently launched The Live Room Belfast to invite touring bands in for special recordings, usually between 3-5 songs, as a way to capture the intimacy of a live studio performance. This set was recorded, mixed, and edited by Niall Doran, with help from Assistant Audio Engineer Paddy McEldowney, and filmed by Ciara McMullan. The team did a fantastic job of capturing the massive weight of the Liverpool trio's legendary riffs and especially the fearsome caveman vocals of frontman Jon Davis.

This all took place on May 16th, the morning before Conan took the stage with Monolord and Elder Druid at Voodoo Belfast for an unforgettable show. Jon also sat down with Elder Druid guitarist Jake Wallace (who organized our recent Doomed & Stoned in Ireland compilation) for an in-depth interview.

And now, it's time for Jon Davis (guitar/vox), Chris Fielding (bass), and Johnny King (drums) do their thing! Enjoy...

Interview with Jon Davis of Conan

Do you enjoy being on the road so much?

Yeah, we do. We have always tried to tour as much as possible, ever since the very beginning. I remember the first time we played outside of Liverpool with Charger in late 2010, and that was a really big thing, something we were pushing for to try and breakout of Liverpool gigs. We almost immediately started getting opportunities to tour and play, and for a year or so it was just weekends here and there, I really loved that. Then we got the opportunity to go touring around Europe. Of course, that brought its own problem then, because we had to get a van, so we invested a bit of money in an old Ford Transit. And I remember spending nearly £600 on installing a cool sound system in there, so that we could listen to Iron Maiden on the road full blast. Like with speakers right by our heads in the bulkhead.

There's something about being on the road, and everyday just looking forward to playing the music that you've written, and the law of seeing the reaction of people who are listening to your music, that you've written sometimes easily, sometimes songs have come together when they've been difficult to write. I've always found it really rewarding to play music, whether I'm on my own, or whether in the practice room with the lads, or whether onstage. And I remember when I was 16, promising myself I would do this, telling myself that I'm gonna play music cause I saw playing music as a long term thing that I would be in charge of. I never really wanted to work for anyone else, I always wanted to do music, and I remember as a shy and less than confident teenager, thinking this is a path that I can grow, and I really enjoy, something I could do for the rest of my life, hopefully.

When I get too old to lug cabs then I'll just pick up an acoustic, and do something with that. So getting on the road has been something we've loved from day one, and now were touring all over the world. This year already, we've had a US of 5 weeks, we've been to Japan for a week, and we've got more far-flung shows lined up for the end of the year, not announced yet, plus European tours, another UK Tour, and we've got an album out soon. I mean it's just -- we love it. I couldn't do anything else now, if I had to have an office job, I'd probably commit suicide, seriously. (laughs)

What make Monolord the perfect match for this tour, and will you be back in Ireland anytime soon?

I mean, we wanted a band as physically attractive as us, and we've finally done it with Monolord. Seriously though, they are a really cool band, they are really good people to tour with, they're professional, friendly, really interesting people, and they come from a different culture to ours, and we enjoy being on the road with them. We're not sharing a van with them, although we have done, we shared a night liner with them in October last year. And we didn't know what to expect then, as we didn't know them very well on that tour, but we got along really well. They're from a different culture but very similar people, at the same time, at the core of what we all are in a love for music, and they put their money where their mouth is, in terms of that. They also like to tour a lot, they release really great music, and they're a really good live act. So when you are choosing a band to tour with, our booking agent puts forward bands and it was really natural, that us and Monolord tour together. It's cool that we get to this joint headliner, switch headliners every night. Yeah, they're just great. I mean, I don't think we've ever toured with a band that we didn't really like, some more than others, obviously, but they are cool as fuck.

I suppose it's an interesting parallel, between both bands having three members, you get to see how another band performs as a three piece as well every night. Tell us about the origin of the band name, and how you guys have created a genre known as 'Caveman Battle Doom.'

Well, Conan could have been called anything, really, from '70s and '80s science fiction movies. You know, Krull was one idea that I had for a band name, very briefly I thought about that. We were called Elf-Beater for a time in our practice room -- that's obviously an awful name so we were never going to use that one long term. Conan just came to me one day, you know, I was going through some personal stuff and I'd had to move into my parent's for a little while, and I started this band up with an old friend of mine who was a bass player, but he played drums a little bit. So we started and we actually wrote and recorded "Satsuma." We had these songs, and we didn't really have a settled name. We were going to call ourselves Pazuzu for a little while or Demon-Demaro, as like a Bebo page in that name. There's some really old demos if you can search for that.

Initially, I wanted it to be a little bit occult-ish type of stuff, and then quickly I realised the lyrics weren't really going in that direction, and we were more about Sword & Sorcery, Science Fiction, and Mythology. Then I remember sitting there one day just kind of thinking, "What do I for a band name?" and then it just came to me. And it stuck, there wasn't really any other bands, well there was an Argentina metal band called Conan, but I think they had expired in the '80s, so there was nothing, no current bands within our scene, with that name, or anything close to it, so we grabbed it with both hands.

How did the name 'Caveman Battle Doom' come about?

The very first show that Conan did in Liverpool was with friends of ours, John McNulty and Gemma McNulty. They weren't married then but they are now, and they're really close of mine, and the band, they recorded at our studio. But they put us on our first ever show, when it was just me and Paul O'Neil, a two piece, and on the poster for that show, I think it said "primitive battle doom," "caveman battle doom," or "caveman doom." The label we were on, fast forward a couple of months, we recorded Horseback Battle Hammer and we released stuff on CD with Aurora-Borealis Records. They used that phrase as part of their sales pitch, on the website, taking it from that first ever poster, and then we thought we’d put that on a t-shirt because it looks cool and it sounds cool and those t-shirts just sold like hot cakes. So we thought, that's a cool name to make a joke about. Obviously, we haven't created our own genre; it would be awesome if we did cause we'd obviously make loads of money then, but it's just a bit of fun.

I know yourself are involved in Black Bow Records and Chris is involved in Skyhammer. How did both of those projects come around? Was it through the band that this became something you were interested in, or what was the path towards a label and a studio?

When I moved into a large house in a rural location, not far from Liverpool/Chester, there was a couple of extra buildings. One of them was a large coach-house and I actually wanted to turn that into a rehearsal studio initially. But it needed a lot of building work, which would have cost a lot of money, so I thought, "I wonder if I could somehow turn this into something that would repay some of that investment? So I'll do a practice room and then I may be able to rent the practice room out to bands." And I thought, "Nah, I don't think that will make generate enough money to make it worthwhile, unless we have people in there all the time." And if we did that, it could just be people in there 2-3 hours at a time and it would be a bit of a nightmare to manage, with it being a home. I then thought of, "Well I could turn it into a recording studio." So I got a couple of quotations for layout and stuff like that. It became obvious that it was going to be really expensive to do. So I thought, "I'll do that and see if I can maybe learn the ropes, I might work in there myself as a recording engineer."

For an extremely short-lived time I recorded bands in their practice rooms. I had one band ask for a refund, so then I thought, "Maybe I need to practice a little bit more." So I was going to set up the studio and decided not to, in the end, when Chris got in touch. Me and Chris had been friends and I'd been asking him what microphones to get and what stuff do I need really to set up a studio. We got chatting then one day out of the blue, and he wrote to me saying he had a really crazy idea and could he ring me. So I said okay. He gave me a call and Chris' idea was that he would come and work in the studio and take over and run it, and I waited a little bit and spoke to my wife. Then in the morning, we chatted again and it became obvious that yeah, it was going to be a great idea. Chris and I started working in the studio from August 2013, the build started in May the same year. We had a company called Studio People do it and they were brilliant.

The first band in there were called Bast and they came into the studio. They didn't have a label, I think they had been in talks with Candlelight Records, but nothing had been agreed at that point. So they recorded this album called Spectres and I said, "Why don't I just release it for you?" It was cool to release the first thing we ever recorded at the studio and that album did quite well. I had to repress it and then another band came in and I released theirs, as well. Then I spoke to Fister and Norska from America, I did a 7-inch split. Before you know it, I'm releasing music from bands all over and it's just snowballed. I didn't expect it to and I didn't really try very hard, to be honest.

I'm still learning all the time about running the label, make mistakes all the time, but I love it and it fits in nicely with the band, fits in nicely with the studio. I'm able to really diversify within music now, because obviously everyone has to earn a living somehow and unless you're very lucky, you can't earn a living from just the band. Some people can, but I can't, so I have to add other things on to make it possible to have a career in music. So that's all I do now, thankfully.

You guys feature heavily in the upcoming documentary 'The Doom Doc' which is due out this summer. How important is a documentary like that in promoting the underground?

I think it's cool, because it engages with people who may not have necessarily have checked out the bands that are being talked about on it. It gives a good overview of what the scene is like and it's something that you can take all round the world. We're friends with Joe Allen, one of the lads who made the documentary, and we played in Japan with him recently and his band Kurokuma. We played a sell-out show in Tokyo in a venue called Earthdom, which hadn't sold out for ten years or so. And part of the reason why it sold out so well was because the documentary was really popular over there. It's really cool, because it's shone a light on the very grassroots level of heavy music in the UK and beyond, and I don't think a documentary has done that really for UK heavy music, the very grassroots level, or I've never seen one that does it. Obviously, in America you have Such Hawks, Such Hounds. It's good that something like that has been made in England.

Finally, you've got the next album 'Existential Void Guardian' coming out in August. What can you tell us about that?

Well, it's all recorded and mastered now. We're just waiting on a video getting done for one of the songs and I'm not going to give any of the songs away, but it's cool, it's heavy as fuck, and we're really proud of it. It's the first album that we've done with Jonny on drums and it was quite a challenging album to make, because if we'd had anyone else on drums I don't think we'd have been able to manage it. But fortunately, Jonny being as professional as he is, he came in after touring with us for one month, just practicing a riff or two here or there in sound checks, and we sat down in the studio and we kind of wrote the drum parts of the album within a week -- or a weekend event, maybe 3-4 days -- so it came together. It wasn't easy, but the fact that it came together at all was a miracle, because we didn't allow ourselves the usual amount of time to write an album. So we pushed ourselves to the limit to get it written and get it to a level that were really happy with, because we wouldn't have released it otherwise. We wrote the drums and the guide guitar in the first few sessions, and then we went back and recorded guitar and bass, and when we got back from Japan we recorded vocals.

It came together in a different way to all the other albums. Maybe Revengeance was a bit like that, but everything up until then was the product of weekly practices, an hour or two every week. So we're kind of getting into this vein now, where we're writing music almost like as soon as we sit down. We get together and we can all play and write music together. It's really cool. I think a lot of that is to do with Jonny, because he's got a particular style that really blend in with what me and Chris are doing. It comes out mid-Sept. Tony Roberts is doing the artwork, as many people would expect, the artwork's cool. And we've got a really good video coming out, it's been done by the same people who shot the "Foehammer" video, and I gave them this idea of what I'd like them to do with this next video, and it's insane. It's everything I would ever want from a Conan video -- it's so sick, it's amazing.
