The Morales-Stacy Siblings Headcannon.

Inspired by @blueberry-1112 Carlota "Charlie" Luz Morales-Stacy AKA Ghost-Spider and Max Jorge Morales-Stacy AKA Kid Arachnid

Charlie is a journalist and works with Mary Jane on her podcast.

Max works at an MMA gym owned by Aunt Billie (Miles's younger sister). Max is currently training Jeet Kun Do.

Max trains upside down.

Charlie has a powerful spider sense that is near psychic. The downside it gives her anxiety attacks.

Charlie loves sweets and candy.

Max tends to eat a lot of food. Favourite Dim Sum.

Charlie and Gwen love to watch Period movies.

Max and Miles love going shopping. Miles likes going for shoes and Max loves shopping for baseball hats.

Charlie draws a bit...but it's not good.

Max is a good dancer.

Charlie is shorter than Max, but it doesn't mean she can't kick his but.

Charlie as GhostSpider is very strategic and stealthy whereas Max is more hands-on as kid Arachnid.

Charlie can speak Spanish, French, and Italian, and Max can speak Spanish, Cantonese, and Japanese.

Max is a bit laid back and goes with the flow.

Charlie has inherited the Morales glare from Rio and Gwen's blue eyes make her glare terrifying

In the Morales-Stacy home, the family has a habit on walking on celings.

Charlie tends to sit at the corner of the ceiling which freaks ou Papi-Jeff and Grandpa George.

THats all for now....but repost and add more.

hey can I get a romantic match up for Cobra Kai, I am bisexual (w no real preference) I am an Aquarius, either an entj or intj I can’t remember, and a Gryffindor. (She/they) I am 5’4” short (neck length?) curly hair, freckles. I used to be a gymnast and do SOME martial arts mostly self defense stuff (jeet kun do) until a leg injury and eventually surgery to fix it where I ended up in and out of a wheelchair for a month and a half. Still Ik recovery but now I do archery. I am a huge movie buff and I’m an artist. My vibe/aesthetic changes VASTLY depending on whatever idfk at this point but mostly go w the flow. Like I said I’m an artist mostly sketch and painting. I love movies, books and comics and I’ve been trying to get into gaming. Before the injury I also liked skating (basically anything w wheels) idk about dislikes ig people at times but I’m also an ambiavert.

sorry this became a rant I’ll stop now, love your work😅

Thank you so much for the ask! I’m glad you like my work!

I match you with Demetri Alexopolous!

I feel like he would love that your a movie buff! He would love to geek out with you about movies and books! I think he would def support your karate, even if it’s not really his thing at first. He seems like the type of guy that after finding out that you like art, would do tons of research about it so he can talk about it with you. I think he would adore you work, and cherish anything you let him keep. You mentioned trying to get into gaming, and that would make Demetri so happy! He would explain anything you don’t understand and be so patient with you! He loves playing games with you! Demetri is a very supportive partner in general. You two respect each other immensely and are always there for each other!

In 1967 Vic Moore appeared at the Long Beach International Karate Championships in Long Beach, California and participated in a martial arts speed drill against Jeet Kun Do founder and movie star, Bruce Lee. The point of the speed drill challenge was to stop Lee's famous unstoppable punch. Lee told Moore that he was going to throw a straight punch to the face, and all he had to do was to try to block it. Lee took several steps back and asked if Moore was ready. When Moore nodded in affirmation, Lee glided towards him until he was within striking range.

He then threw a straight punch directly at Moore's face, and stopped before impact. Moore blocked all of the punches except the one that Bruce Lee sneakly threw at the end toward his face Moore and Grandmaster Steve Mohammed said that Lee had first told Moore that he was going to throw a straight punch to the body, which Moore blocked. Lee attempted another punch, and Moore blocked it as well. The third punch, which Lee threw to Moore's face, did not come nearly within striking distance. Moore claims that Lee never successfully struck Moore but Moore was able to strike Lee on two successful attempts, immediately after Lee had made the three attempts described above. Moore further claims that Bruce Lee said he was the fastest American he's ever seen and that Lee's media crew repeatedly played the one punch towards Moore's face that did not come within striking range, allegedly in an attempt to give the impression that Lee had thrown eight successive punches and thereby preserve Lee's superstar image.

Capcom puts you in charge of overseeing the next Street Fighter game. What characters are in your initial line-up, what new characters are you adding (you can use general archetypes like a blind gypsy), and what makes your entry far superior than the others? *great big squishy Hadoken hugs*

Interesting… Hmm… Well to start there would be two separate games SF VI Delta Dawn & SF VI Omega Break. One story would follow most of the old guard in a tournament held by the returning Shadaloo.The other would have the younger fighters be part of a tournament held by Kanzuki Zaibatsu. And if you have both games on a system the storylines connect and a new boss storyline with Gill is unlocked. _____ Shadaloo returns to prominence, but Bison is not in charge. Ingrid has taken over after being corrupted by the psycho-power she absorbed from him in SF Alpha 3 MAX. Joining her would be Vega, Rolento, Balrog, & Decapre. I might also include the other three ‘Code Holders’ DD, Rook, & Death. They also have the Dolls (with three/four new ones to replace Decapre and those that defected – Juli, Juni, & Noembelu). F.A.N.G. would have stayed loyal to Bison and in a semi-abandoned lab rebuilt a smaller psycho-drive to repower Bison. So yeah, sort of a Shadaloo civil war going on in the background of the game. Ed & Falke are joined in the Neo-Shadaloo by Abel as he senses the familial connection. They continue to work towards undoing Shadaloo’s evils. Maybe add Necro & Effie to the group. SF VI Delta Dawn – Ryu, Ken Masters, Zangief, Chun Li, Guile, Cody, Guy, Dhalsim, Cammy White, Rose, Ed, Falke, Abel, Necro, Dudley, Juli, Dee Jay, E. Honda, Sagat, Q, & Crimson Viper. With the Shadaloo characters (Ingrid, Vega, Rolento, Balrog, Decapre, maybe a Doll or two, F.A.N.G., & Bison) would be unlockable. ~~~~~~~~~ Kanzuki Zaibatsu story has Karin Kanzuki, Birdie, Rainbow Mika, & Eagle representing the corporation. S.I.N. is also moving along in the background as a separate group led by Juri Han & Seth. Blade, F7, Arkane, & Khyber from the movie game would make their first appearances in the main series as S.I.N. soldiers. SF VI Omega Break – Sakura, Elena, Ibuki, Yun, Yang, El Fuerte, Sean Matsuda, Laura Matsuda, Maki, Alex, Shin, Zeku, Menat, Dan Hibiki, Rufus, Akira, Makoto, Fei Long, Adon, & Tracy Lords (from Rival Schools). As with the DD story the Kanzuki Zaibatsu and S.I.N. fighters are unlockable.

Each storyline would have segments referencing the other. Unlocked characters would be usable in either game And if you had both would lead up to where Gil is manipulating events. With Gill’s Secret Society is around with Urien, Kolin, Charlie Nash, & Twelve would be added into the mix.

Other returning World Warriors that could be downloaded would include Blanka, T. Hawk, Poison, Hugo, Abigail, Akuma, Oro, Rashid, Makati, Gouken, Gen, Juni, G, Remy, Hakan, Oni, Necalli, Kage, & Lucia. I would attempt to get the EX characters to return: Blair Dame, Cracker Jack, Skullomania, Pullum Purna, Kairi, Darun Mister, Hokuto, Allen Snider, Garuda, Gouki, Cycloid γ, Cycloid ß, Hayate, Sharon, Shadowgeist, Doctrine Dark, Vulcano Rosso, Nanase, Area, Ace, etc. I would also try to get the Ryu Ranger and Rising Phoenix Ranger forms of Ryu & Chun Li from the Power Rangers Battle for the Grid game.

As for new characters, well Delta Dawn would have: Hoss, a new redneck overalls wearing Sumo fighter loosely based on a character from one of the tabletop RPG supplements. Malcolm, a Scottish born mma fighter that dresses like he was competing at a highlands game. Dr. Antone Metze, a German acupressure practitioner and jeet kun do fighter who usually is in a turtleneck with the sleeves rolled up and slacks. And Lorena Parra, a Chilean judoka in capris and a knit sweater. Omega Break would include: Pia Rendón, a master of Kali in an a-shirt & cargo pants. Bryce, a Canadian lumberjack trained in Native American Wrestling. Harbinger, a special forces trained Merc. The bookish, teenage Brazilian sumo Áurea Ramos. And the Australian brawler Isla Cox.

Cowboy Bebop ficlet

// Figured I would post an OLD ficlet I did way back when. This is done before Faye and Ed and Ein join up on the Bebop. With my OC for this verse. Read below if you want to enjoy some old school bounty hunters. //

I was pretty sure Spike knew I was watching him do his shirtless training of hot. So I just laid on the stairs to watch him with my head resting on my arms. Enjoying how he moved so fluidly as he punched and kicked at air. And I had my music on besides so it made such even more entrancing. I didn't have it on as loud as I tended to though. So I could hear him when he shot a question my way. "Don't you have something to do, Jo?" I shook my head to pop one of the earbuds out. So he knew I could hear him. "No. I got all the tinkering done a while ago. Jet is making more food too." Spike pauses in his routine with one leg up in the air. Turning his head to look at me. And God is it ever hot how he can stay all poised with a foot all the way up like that. So I just stared at him. And he gave a snort of a noise to look back out the window of the ship. "I get the feeling I'm being sized up for something. Or are you just enjoying me half clothed?" I really wish he hadn't asked. Since I was not one to lie to a team mate. Even if it made me blush. "Every person has a type, you dork. And you happen to be my type." Spike freezes after his punch to look very surprised. So I continue for his benefit. "Tall. Toned. Funny. Smooth talker. Skilled. If you didn't smoke so much I'd have tried to kiss you already." Spike whirls his head around to look at me with his eyes wide. And if he didn't look stunned I'd eat my sneakers. "Are you serious?! Jet told me you were- Geez Jo!" I chuckle as my toes curl a bit in my sneakers. "Center yourself, tadpole of the tai chi. I'm not gonna run over and jump your fine ass. I'm just gonna enjoy the view." Spike shakes his head to then run a hand through his hair. Looking very flustered as I watch his muscles flex. ***** Spike looked so dead serious I couldn't look away from him. Both his hands resting near my head as he cornered me against the wall. And his eyes stayed locked on mine. That one brown eye a lighter color than the other. And I was so captivated I could barely breathe. His words were so low I almost didn't catch them. "Why is it that even when I'm looking at the past, you keep filtering through my eyes? I've been dreaming the same dream for so long. Now it's changing. And it's unsettling on how it's making me forget things. Things I know I need to hold onto, yet they are things I have wanted to leave behind." Spike clenches his hands into fists as he keeps me there with his gaze. And I am wondering all sorts of things. But he just keeps talking like he didn't stop for a breath. "I'd think they sent you to keep tabs on me. But then you do things that make me think otherwise. How you don't ask me questions. How you keep putting yourself between me and whatever is trying to kill us. And how you keep watching over me when I fall asleep on the couch. You've had all the time in the universe to kill me if they had sent you. So tell me Joanna. Who are you really? Because I am not going to keep letting you close if I don't know where you fit into this waking dream." I give Spike a huff of irritation that notes my confusion. My own questions giving him a bit more inkling into my bafflement at his actions and his words. "Why do I have to be someone specific, Spike? Can't I just be myself?" Spike went so still I would think he was stone. But I keep going anyways. "The way you talk, it makes me think we're in some secret spy movie. Like the really old ones with double agents and super villains. And that makes me wonder about you for a change. I've been fine with just knowing you are good at karate and bad with bounty hunting. I've been totally okay with you and Jet and myself going from one day to the next just cruising around the solar system. I didn't need to know more than what you both told me. That Jet used to be a cop and that you used to be on Mars. The only thing that has ever mattered to me is if I can feel safe around you. Safe as in you won't throw me into a storage room and rip my clothes off. And you proved that I can relax and just be. You never asked me before about who I used to be. And even though I wonder why you're asking now, I will tell you." Spike nods to then relax a little. Using those arms he has braced against the wall to corral me more like he's just leaning. So he sighs a bit to then ask me his questions. "Who are you?" I sigh to cross my arms. Closing my eyes as I answer. "My full name is Margaret Joanna Adelha Mathilde." Spike blinks to then chuckle a little. "That is a mouthful. Hence why you just answer to Jo." I nod for him to ask the next question. "Are you really from Earth?" I nod again to add in, "The town I was born was called Saugatuck. It was in the state of Michigan in the United States of America. At least back then it was. I haven't checked to see if it is still there." Spike looks confused to then lean in to get in my face more. And his question is really quiet. "Care to explain that?" So I open my eyes to gaze into those brown eyes. And I shiver a little when I reply. "Here's the big plot twist. I was born in 1998. And got put into a freezer when there was a big accident on a space shuttle." Spike goes as wide eyed as possible. Looking very stunned as I sigh and lean my head back against the wall. "Mom and dad apparently had me put in cryogenic freeze after the doctors told them I was a goner. And since they were just testing those damn things out, there was a need for test subjects to see if they worked. So I got shoved into an ice tray. I woke up a few years ago after one of the hospital directors got replaced with some new hot shot senator. He decided saving all those poor helpless victims and rehabilitating them would be a genius political move or something. The end result is I got thawed out along with a dozen other people that had been on the shuttle. By the time the police got their noses into the senator's closet to see about skeletons, I was already on my way to a clinic on Mars. So they had no recourse but to let me go on my merry way when the project buckled. Left it so I didn't have to pay all those bills from the upkeep of my ice tray and the rehab. But it also left me without any help to start a new life." Spike frowns to then move away from the wall and give me my space back. His sigh clearly saying he gets the rest. "Hence why Jet got a call from his old friend who is still an active police officer. He was called in to pick you up from the clinic and keep tabs on you until they could build a case against the senator. And Jet got an extra pair of hands in the bargain. Someone who literally had nothing else to fall back on." I chuckle to roll my eyes at Spike. "We both know Jet isn't the type to leave some helpless gal who literally only has a hospital gown go it alone. He'd sooner light his bonsai on fire." Spike smirks for me to chuckle a bit. His hand reaching into his hair to rub at his head as I continue. "Jet made it clear that if I ever found a better option, I could take it and I would owe him nothing. But I honestly have never looked for anything else. Why would I? I have a home here, skills to build on as I figure out what has changed in the time I was on ice, and at least two people I call family." Spike stills to look at me with a questioning glance. So I wave a hand at him to make my point. "I did say I feel safe around you, Spike. I don't extend that kind of faith in anyone unless they have earned it. You may not trust me with whatever skeletons you keep in back storage. But I know you won't hurt me willingly or hang me out by a noose. Heck, you tend to cover me whenever something is gonna blow up. Figuratively and literally. Just like I do for you. Isn't that enough for you?" Spike spends a really long moment just staring at me. His eyes so focused I want to tell him to blink. But then he turns away to keep rubbing a hand to his head. And he sighs so hard I'd think he was going to deflate. "What a headache. No wonder you're so old fashioned." I snort to roll my eyes. But then Spike tells me something that has me go stock still. "I used to be deep in the Red Dragon Syndicate. And ever since they declared me killed that night, I only see the past or the present. Like a waking dream. My left eye only sees the past, the right eye only sees the present." Spike turns back around for me to have something in my head click into place. My shoulders tensing as I stay leaning against the wall. "Huh. So that's why your eyes are different. One of them is fake. Right?" Spike doesn't answer. Which is a confirmation in my book. So I give a long sigh all my own. "Guess that fits the theme of this rag tag group. Jet doesn't lead the life of a cop anymore. You don't lead the life of a syndicate member. And I don't have any life to go back to either. It's an in between for all three of us. Maybe we should rename this boat Limbo." Spike smiles at my pun even if it doesn't reach his eyes. Which has me rub at my arms a bit for him to walk back over. His hands coming to rest on my shoulders as I shiver again. "Guess you really are a super spy then. With fancy shooting and gadgets and Jeet Kun Doe. We should replace your tie with a bow tie or something." Spike gives a soft chuckle before I look up into those brown eyes. And we end up spending a moment just staring at each other. Until I ask him my last question. "Was it worth it? Leaving the monsters to chase a beautiful angel?" Spike goes so quiet I know he's holding his breath. So I remind him, "All the spy movies have some gorgeous lady in the plot. So it's not too much of a leap to think you left for a chance at being with a good woman." I reach up to place my fingertips to Spike's face and wait. My eyes tearing up as he takes a breath. And his answer is but a faded whisper. "She was worth it all and more. And will always be the dream I linger in the most." Having Spike say that sounds so fitting even if that answer hurts me. But I smile as those tears fall. Giving him a chuckle as he grips my shoulders a bit harder. And I say the one thing I didn't want to say. "Then keep dreaming, Spike. I wouldn't wake you from that for any reason. Keep dreaming that good dream for as long as you can." Spike nods before he pulls me in to hug me close. My hands lowering to rest at his heart as he all but crushes me. And his words are quiet but so full of strength. "You would have been just as worth it, Jo. A girl like you is worth more than you think. Demons and dragons tend to know only violence and struggle. They never know peace or hope for quieter days. And you remind me of such wants. Just like she did. It's why I felt so confused. Every time you remind me of what that felt like, I see her standing behind you. Like a mirage." I chuckle a bit to wrap my arms around his waist. Soaking in this contact even if his hug is cracking my ribs. "Maybe one day we will find her so you can make those old dreams come true. I would help you track her down if you want." ***** I gave a prayer that I knew I would regret once the dust had settled. But I gave it anyway before I opened my eyes. Then I centered the gun and took aim. And for once my mind went blank. No thought. No emotion. Just purpose. And it was all I needed to take that shot. So I pulled the trigger once my aim was sure. And the gun fired for the thug who had been strangling Jet to fall. The bullet punching a good hole through the center of his head for it to exit out the back in a shower of gore. Then I moved to aim at the guy charging at Spike with a very large sword. And I took aim to shoot again. The gun going off for the bullet to rip right through the thugs temple. The spray out the other end washing over the wall like speckling paint. Spike grabbed the now very dead sword guy to use him as a shield against the incoming bullets from the gunman up in the rafters. And I took aim at him next to fire. His neck soon half gone for him to fall over and writhe. I then heard the bullets sing around me when the second gunman decided to get rid of me. Jet shouting for me to take cover as I ducked down. But I wasn't going to just stop. My hand reaching for the grenade we brought that didn't work anymore. So I tossed it over to where the gunman was hiding. His yelp of fear soon leading to him jumping away from his hiding place. And I took aim and fired to punch a hole through his ugly sunglasses. The left side of them nothing but shrapnel as he went down in a heap. And I heard Spike's shouted warning a bit too late. The last goon having come up behind me to grab me by my hair and yank me backwards. I hissed in air to try and get free of the grip this goon had on my hair. Which ended with a very sharp dagger punching through my open palm. I gave a hard scream as the agony ripped into me. The goon grinning for Jet and Spike to get it in gear. So I took the gun and pointed it into the goon's mouth. His shout muffled for me to pull the trigger. And the boom going off so close to my ear left me in a bad state of total silence. Like Jet had put his hands over my ears. The blood and gore from my now dead assailant soon dribbling down my shoulder. And I was so done I just shoved the dead body away from me to then stumble away. Sliding down to crouch against the one wall and breathe. I didn't want to look down at my hand. I didn't want to feel the bits of blood that were sliding down my back from killing someone. And I sure couldn't hear anything other than a muted ringing. But then I felt someone grab me by my hair again. And I was so out of it I dropped the gun when I got yanked to my feet. The ringleader soon grinning at me to then tug me over and out into the open. His other arm coming around my neck to pin me in a headlock. And I was in too much of a daze to really process anything. I could finally start to hear Jet and Spike as they gave a few shouts at the ringleader. But he made his point by squeezing his hold on me. Cutting off my air for me to choke. So Spike went quiet even as Jet fumed more. But such was helping me get my bearings for every second that passed. And I was able to shake off the daze once the ringleader was in the middle of making his demands. So I went for broke and wrenched the dagger out of my hand. And stuck it right into his groin. Making him bellow as he let me go. So I scrambled away for Spike to take the shot. The ringleader falling down as Jet ran over to grab me. His arms keeping me from just falling flat on my face as he took my weight. And I felt so relieved once he did I went totally limp. Only now registering I had also gotten shot earlier. My left hip doing some serious complaining even as Jet moved us into a side hallway. I could tell Jet was really worried, since I was more of a rag doll than a conscious team mate. So I coughed and moaned for Jet to hear. Having him calm down a bit even as he looked my very bleeding hand over. His words as ever gruff and barked. "Now you know why I told you to stay on the ship, Jo. This isn't the place for rookies to be asking to get run the Hell over. Side note. You did fantastic. Now don't move your fingers on this hand. That poker was a big one." I stay completely still except to breathe. Jet ripping one of my pant legs off to make a bandage for my hand. While Spike finally walks over to check on us. His gun still up for him to look down at us. "All dead. With the data chip the ringleader had being slightly stained. But it looks undamaged and they never said we had to bring him in alive. How's Jo?" Jet gives a grunt to finish tying the bandage on my hand. "Either she's in shock or too tired to make a peep. Her left hand is very bad. And they shot her in the hip. Her ears are also bleeding slightly. In short, she's the most mangled of the three of us. Unless you got hit and I can't tell." Spike nods to hold up an arm. A long gash dripping ever so slightly. "Sword guy got a few swings in when he charged at me. Jo will have to sew my jacket when she has the time." Jet gives a huff of a laugh to then shake his head. "You expect her to sew that for you? Her left hand has a hole the size of a-" I give a loud cough that makes Jet stop mid sentence. And my words are very tired when Spike reaches over to place a hand to my head. "I don't wanna know..." ***** Sewing this jacket was taking quite a bit of time. Since my left hand was not cooperating at all. Which meant having to do everything one handed. But I was a very patient person by nature. I just took my time as I sat on the couch. Jet in the kitchen to make bell peppers and beef, with actual beef this time. Along with rice and mushrooms and several other vegetables. I had insisted we use my portion of the reward money to get some food for us. Jet and Spike not complaining when I said so. So here we were. On our way to Mars. Spike doing his Jeet Kun Do in front of me. Jet cooking us something to eat. While I sat and sewed with one hand. The television on for us to listen in on that corny bounty hunter channel. Both of the casters that hosted the show doing their usual greeting with the fake Texan accents. And Spike stopped after a bit to listen in when the announcers said they had big congratulations to give out. Jet poking his head out to hear as I stopped sewing to turn the volume up. The one guy smiling bright as he spoke. "It would seem that big fish we have had on our listings finally got himself caught! And none too soon it would seem! Reports from the police have confirmed this big fish was up to some mighty bad stuff!" The blonde gal confirming to point where they had a mug shot of said big fish up on our screen. "Too true! It turns out this big fish was going to vandalize a whole space port! Just blow the whole thing to smithereens! So it's a good thing he got caught!" The first announcer nods to add in, "Or in this case, killed. Apparently, three bounty hunters cornered him to do away with him and his whole gang. They sure put up a nasty fight though. However, we were told that the bad fish were the only casualties. And that all three bounty hunters are on the mend. Add in they got back the stolen data chip to hand it over to the police, and it was a good day all around." The blonde smiles brightly to then point where three more pictures are placed on screen. And both Jet and Spike go wide eyed when it is our pictures shown. Mine in the middle for the blonde to smile and continue the narrative. "These are our heroes of the day, y'all. The crew of the Bebop. Two veteran cowboys and even a cowgirl to boot! Just look at that pretty red headed gal!" The first announcer chuckles as Spike sits down next to me on the couch. And I can safely say we all are stunned as the narrative continues. "According to our sources, it was the cowgirl who was the sharp shooting ace on this fishing trip. A good old fashioned Annie Oakley. However, she did end up with several bad injuries that may be a bit of a rodeo to tackle. But we fellow cowboys will wish this crew good luck and safe trails. Next up on our broadcast is the latest top ten most wanted rascals. So stayed tuned as we break for a commercial." Jet walks out to start growling a bit in agitation. Spike looking very thoughtful as I mute the television. So all we hear is Jet. "I told them not to release our names to the media! Dammit all, now I'm gonna have to call them and give them a piece of my mind!" But I simply shrug a shoulder to go back to my sewing. Spike catching on to wave a hand in the air. "I don't think it hurts anyone, Jet. Especially when we get some positive praise for Jo out of it. And she deserves it in my book. I mean think about it. We were in over our heads with us going it just the two of us against all those thugs. And Jo realized that to cover our asses. And I believe that deserves some ten minutes of fame. And a dinner that isn't burned. So go make sure it doesn't and we can regroup as we eat." Jet gives a humph before he nods. His robotic hand soon patting me on the head in appreciation before he heads back into the kitchen. Leaving me with Spike as we sit on the couch. My fingers on my only working hand threading the needle through the material. But then Spike reaches over to place his hand over mine. Stopping me from continuing for me to look up at him. Neither one of us blinks as the moment lengthens. Until Spike gives me that rare warm smile that reaches his eyes. "Thank you, Joanna. I know you aren't the kind of person who can hurt people willingly. So thank you for the rescue. And I'm sorry it came to you having to kill so many people to accomplish that." I shiver all over as Spike laces his fingers into mine. His grip strong and grounding as he continues. "I never wanted for you to become like us. So used to the violence of our work that you don't think twice about pulling the trigger. It was why I didn't want to teach you my Jeet Kun Do. And I know Jet was even more opposed to you having to learn how to use a gun. We both are aware that in order for you to be safe it was needed to teach you all that. But Jet was Hell bent on never putting you in a position to need to. So I will apologize for doing so with that job. We never should have taken it to begin with. The pay off be damned. No amount of money is worth putting you through Hell. I'm sorry, Jo. For all of it." I take a moment before I say anything. My hand it Spike's tightening as I give a long sigh. "It is better I killed those men than let them kill us, Spike. You heard what they were planning. They would have blown up a whole space port. Hundred of people would have died. Fathers. Mothers. Daughters. Sons. All dead and floating among the debris. All because a few criminals decided those lives meant nothing. So I can say it was worth the pain and the guilt I'm going to suffer. Because it means that people got to live. Families can plan for futures instead of funerals. And that is a reward unto itself." Spike doesn't say anything as I shiver a little. Then Spike gently tugs me forwards to wrap his arms around me. Hugging me tight as I let the jacket fall to the floor. His hold on me as strong as steel. And I am so very glad for such. I all but collapse into his hold. So Spike shifts us so we're laying on the couch. Hugging me tight as tears roll down my face. Spike closing his own eyes as we lay there. And I take deep breaths against his front, just to savor his scent in my lungs. Every intake of air a mixture of sweat and cigarettes and the warmth of a living person soaking my senses. And I thank God for that. ***** I wasn't sure when it was I fell asleep sitting next to Jet by the helm. But I woke up in a different place entirely. Jet carrying me bridal style to the couch as he grumbled about something. And even though I was curious, I chose to stay quiet. Acting as if I was still out like a light. Which in itself was tempting to go back to. But then Jet set me down to place his hand to my head. And it was clear he was worried when he started talking at me. "Jo. Wake up. Hey. Joanna. Damn, you're burning up." I opened one eye to see Jet was frowning at me. And I figured that him using that particular frown meant something bad. So I gave a groan of noise to then close that eye again. "What? I was enjoying the nap. Seriously, Jet. What did you wake me up for?" Jet makes a grumbled noise to then move his hand from my head to my wrist. His fingers pressed into my pulse for me to note that such means very bad indeed. "Because you were shivering non stop while you were out. Yet you are roasting hot. Must've gotten an infection from one of those wounds." Jet takes his other hand to check over the wrap job on my hand with the hole through it. And sure enough, it bleeds the moment his robotic fingers brush against it. Making me hiss in air for his frown to deepen. Jet keeping his eyes to my hand as he grumbles more. "Yep. This opened up again. At this rate we may need to get you a new hand. Or one like mine." I can't say the idea of chopping my hand off for a replacement is a good one in my mind. But I take a moment to make him think I'm considering that option. "I'd rather keep what I got. Even if it doesn't work very well." Jet chuckles to shake his head. But he does still look worried. "Then to the clinic it is. I already adjusted course while you were out. Spike is getting you a change of clothes from your room. We'll be seeing a trusted doctor that has a brother on the police force. So I know he's trustworthy to not overcharge us." I give a nod for Jet to lace his arms under me. Lifting me up with ease as I lean my head to his shoulder. Spike at the door to have my duffel bag with him. "We just docked and have some guy asking for you. Says he's here to escort us to his brother's clinic.How is she?" Jet gives a huff of worry in answer. "Bad enough."

Bruce Lee - The Big Boss Film Review: The Little Dragon's First Martial Arts Movie

Cheng Chao-an (Bruce Lee) travels to Thailand with his uncle in search of work. Apparently Cheng was a tearaway at home, but he has told his mother he will stay out of trouble. She has given him a necklace to remind him of his promise. Despite facing provocation from local thugs Cheng keeps his word. It helps that his cousin Hsiu Chien (James Tien) is a capable martial arts fighter and more than willing to defend those around him he feels are being mistreated.

Hsiu gets Cheng a job in an ice factory, but things go awry when two of their fellow workers go missing. The two men are summoned to the home of Hsiao Mi, The Big Boss after accidently breaking a block of ice and finding it contains a package of white powder. They never return and you can see him race off with his gi. Hsiu goes to confront Hsiao who denies any wrongdoing and claims the men probably ran off to the city to spend their money. Aware Hsiu may pose a problem Hsiao has his men ambush him as he leaves. Despite fighting bravely, Hsiu is unarmed and outnumbered.

James Tien Does Most of the Early Fighting in The Big Boss

Audiences seeing the film for the first time in 1971 may well have thought James Tien was the star of The Big Boss. It is Hsiu who intervenes when thugs steal food from a young boy and beats them. Hsiu also helps a woman upset over her husband’s gambling and is regarded by workers at the factory as being their leader. Lee is held in reserve, although there are hints at his prowess especially when he lays two men out cold without Hsiu even noticing.

Bruce Lee Reveals his Martial Arts Skills in The Big Boss

When the foreman tries to persuade the workers Hsiu went to the city to gamble and whore a fight breaks out at the factory. They know Hsu was a righteous man and incapable of wrongdoing. Still Cheng holds back, keeping his promise until his mother’s necklace is ripped from his neck. Only then does he spring into action laying out multiple opponents and ending the brawl. Lee’s economical fighting style, with his trademark Gi, a display of his self-designed Jeet Kun Do philosophy, must have been a shock for audiences used to the more elaborate Kung-Fu sequences popular at the time.

The Big Boss Makes Bruce Lee a Star after Struggling in Hollywood

Bruce Lee was best known in the US for playing Kato, the sidekick in The Green Hornet television show. However, finding work was tough for an Asian actor in 70’s Hollywood. There was a brief, but memorable appearance as a Kung-Fu kicking thug in Marlowe (1969), Paul Bogart’s adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s ‘The Little Sister’ The leading role in the television series Kung-Fu eluded though, as the producers cast David Carradine instead.

In many ways The Big Boss may have been a last throw of the dice for Bruce Lee. Although he started out as a child actor in Hong Kong returning there from Hollywood seemed like a backward step for ‘The Little Dragon,’ but it proved to be the making of him. Lo Wei directed The Big Boss and Fist of Fury (1972), although the two men never quite hit it off. Bruce directed Way of the Dragon (1972), which contains arguably his most famous fight sequence, against a young Chuck Norris. By the time Enter the Dragon (Robert Clouse 1973) made him a star in the West Bruce Lee was already dead, leaving only a slew of imitators and lookalikes to cash in on his success.

Hey! I was wondering about your self defense training. Did you pick up everything you know in the military, or did you ever do any martial arts as well?

I got in a ton of fights growing up (kinda happens when you're a trans girl growing up in South Carolina in the 80's and 90's). I copied movements from movies and TV, from reading fighting books, watching boxing matches etc. All before I joined the army.When I was in the army I started watching and following mixed martial arts and for a few years I never missed a UFC fight. On my ODA (my team) there was a golden gloves boxer, a West Point wrestler, and a Jeet Kun Do practitioner and we did a decent amount of sparring in addition to the 'combatives' training courses I took. I was also moonlighting as a bouncer at a dive bar/metal venue for a while.I'm not the most technical or skilled fighter out there and my submission game is pretty weak because I much prefer to fight on my feet. And of course since I prefer to stand and strike but I usually give up reach to my opponents I don't really fight on the outside much either (though I'm told I have a good stiff jab). Instead, I have a solid chin so I stand in the pocket and trade, usually opting for heavy shots thrown with bad intentions at close range (the shovel hook is a perpetual favorite). For exceptionally mobile opponents I find a wall or corner to trap them in or I'll opt for a takedown and throw elbows and punches from the mount and even inside the guard.My biggest strengths are probably my capacity for walking through heavy hits and my aggression.

Jack Of All Trades: Stars Who Are Each Actors And Athletes

New Post has been published on https://takenews.net/jack-of-all-trades-stars-who-are-each-actors-and-athletes/

Jack Of All Trades: Stars Who Are Each Actors And Athletes

When you concentrate on it, actors athletes are very related. Each are positioned within the highlight the place the entire world is ready to see. Then comes alongside these particular kind of people that double up on expertise. Individuals like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Chuck Connors took on each sports activities and performing. Some are extra gifted in a single space than the opposite however we’re not right here to guage.

NBA star LeBron James is aware of his means round a basketball court docket. He even will get animated and theatrical along with his teammates on the bench when his staff is successful. However does he know navigate the massive display screen? James performs himself within the 2015 movie Trainwreck (starring Invoice Hader and Amy Schumer) and though he has by no means taken on such a giant position, he was up for the problem.

“They stated, ‘You’re going to play your self,’ and I instructed them that I can try this simply,” James stated. “I can simply present up and say, ‘I’m LeBron. I play basketball and I can dunk.’ They stated, ‘No. You’re really going to be Invoice’s finest buddy within the film, and also you’re going to be a love physician who helps him patch issues up along with his girlfriend.’” He should have accomplished nicely as a result of Rotten Tomatoes gave it an 86 p.c!

There are 1,000,000 and one myths surrounding Chuck Norris. For instance, “Norris has a diary. It’s referred to as the Guinness E book of World Data.” You get the purpose. As of late, Norris is a conservative political activist. However earlier than all of that, he was a championship karate athlete. Whereas his performing profession was simply getting began, Bruce Lee solid Norris as a villain in Return of the Dragon that helped him launch his profession in 1972. He has since excelled at each performing and martial arts. Norris was inducted into the Martial Arts Historical past Museum’s Corridor of Fame in 1999, and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Stroll of Fame.

Up subsequent is one massive man who wanted to be within the sport he performed.

Defensive finish Terry Crews was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 1991. He performed for numerous groups just like the Chargers, Eagles, and Redskins earlier than retiring in 1997. It wasn’t till he left soccer that Crews pursued performing.

Since retiring from soccer, Crews has confirmed that his performing expertise is as much as par. He performed a reoccurring position on the TV sitcoms All people Hates Chris and Are We There But? He’s most just lately acknowledged for his position as NYPD Sergeant Terry Jeffords within the TV sitcom Brooklyn 9-9, the place it turned clear that Crews not solely thrives taking part in roles in comedy however motion, too.

Actor Chuck Connors is understood for his well-known portrayal of Lucas McCain within the TV sequence The Rifleman however his expertise carried over into sports activities, too. Connors turned professional in each basketball and baseball. He was a member of the very first Boston Celtics staff in 1946. Connors additionally had the excellence of being the primary skilled basketball participant credited with shattering a backboard.

His excellent pure athletic talents landed him a spot on the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Chicago Cubs, the place he performed first base. However he realized he wasn’t going to make residing in sports activities, and turned to performing. The remainder is historical past.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson performed soccer on a full scholarship for the College of Miami. He graduated in 1995 and began coaching to turn into an expert wrestler. After being acknowledged as one of many biggest skilled wrestlers of all time, (he gained a record-breaking seven championship titles) The Rock got down to see what else was cookin’. He established himself as an actor whereas he wrestled within the WWF/WWE. He first began out with small components in TV reveals and rapidly took his performing profession to the subsequent degree with main roles in motion flicks, together with The Rundown, and The Scorpion King.

You might know Jason Lee finest from the sequence My Title is Earl. However earlier than he was entertaining us on display screen, he was skating ledges and launching over staircases with the perfect of them. That’s proper, Lee was a profitable skilled skateboarder. Are you aware how troublesome it was to turn into a professional again then? With out YouTube or Instagram for skaters to showcase their abilities and safe sponsorships, they needed to exit and earn it the arduous means.

Within the early ’90s, Lee determined that he wished to check out performing. When he put himself on the market, he caught the eye of actor and filmmaker Kevin Smith. Smith ended up casting Lee in a lead position within the comedy Mallrats.

Michael Jordan remains to be often known as the perfect basketball participant within the historical past of the NBA. We might go on for days speaking about his accolades and stats however we’ll simply say he went to the finals six occasions and gained all six. As compared, Kobe Bryant went seven occasions and solely gained 5. A G.O.A.T. (biggest of all time) is unblemished when it issues most.

Probably the most memorable movies starring an expert athlete must be Jordon in Area Jam. And he didn’t achieve this unhealthy performing with characters that weren’t actually there! Perhaps we should always all strive a few of his “secret stuff” he talks about within the Looney Tunes movies.

Nonetheless to return, Emma Stone performed what?

This should have been fairly some whereas in the past, when Jason Statham seems to have a head full of lovely hair. When he was a teen, The Transporter actor was fairly athletic. He was impressed when he noticed a man doing a excessive dive whereas he was on vacation, and was instantly drawn to the game.

You might not count on man who performs such powerful characters on display screen to be a diver. However Statham was aside of the British Nationwide Diving Squad for twelve years! He says that though his performing profession has taken off, not competing within the Olympics remains to be a sore spot for him.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is an NBA legend and for good cause. He’s considered one of solely seven gamers in NBA historical past to achieve the 30,000 level mark. He’s additionally the all-time chief in factors (till somebody reaches 38,388 profession factors or extra). However are you conscious Abdul-Jabbar additionally acted in movies?

By the point the Lakers have been on prime of the NBA, the middle had already began his performing profession. Like Chuck Norris, he fought Bruce Lee in Sport of Dying and was additionally within the comedy Airplane as himself. What would you do for those who noticed a legendary NBA participant sitting within the cockpit of your airplane?

Emma Watson from the wildly profitable Harry Potter franchise just isn’t solely a terrific actress however because it seems, she can also be fairly athletic. Her spellbinding sassiness she shows on display screen have to be from expertise. Any athlete who competes on the collegiate or skilled degree has some kind of hearth in them. Whereas attending Brown College, Watson was a member of the membership discipline hockey staff. We’re prepared to wager no less than one individual referred to as her ‘Hermione’ a few times.

Proceed on and also you’re positive to be in for a shock.

John Cena is among the hottest wrestlers to ever step foot within the ring. Ever since The Rock left wrestling, it was Cena’s thrown for the taking. In school, he additionally performed Division III soccer at Springfield Faculty. President of WWE, Vince McMahon began a film manufacturing firm in 2005 so you may guess what occurred subsequent.

McMahon selected Cena for a lead position in one of many firm’s first movies, The Marine. Cena has been in a number of roles right here and there (just like the Hefty business!) however his principal focus remains to be wrestling.

Romeo Miller is greater than only a baby prodigy. The music artist as soon as often known as Lil’ Romeo makes music, acts, fashions, and for a brief stint, performed collegiate basketball for the USC Trojans. The son of hip-hop artist Grasp P., Romeo is most well-known for his music. When Romeo was barely a teen he already had a single at No. 1 on the R&B Billboard chart. However not many individuals are conscious that basketball most likely means essentially the most to him out of his many abilities. His father additionally performed for the USC Trojans from 2008-2010.

Broadway Joe Namath was an expert soccer star who first performed for the College of Alabama earlier than catapulting to stardom because the Jets quarterback. In 1965 he was named AFL Rookie of the 12 months. In 1967, he was the primary skilled quarterback to cross for four,000 yards in a season when he threw four,007 yards in.

Namath finally began accepting small roles on TV taking part in himself. He had a straightforward going persona that led to him internet hosting a number of speak reveals. That is the place his nickname got here from. He was an icon.

Bruce Lee started showing in movies from a really younger age, as his father was a Cantonese opera star with many connections. However martial arts rapidly consumed him, and Lee dropped out of school and put performing on maintain to open a martial arts studio in Oakland, California. Quickly he developed his personal model of combating referred to as Jeet Kun Do. One producer noticed Lee’s expertise and requested him to audition.

Lee auditioned and landed the position of Kato within the TV sequence The Inexperienced Hornet. He then went on to play a task in 5 feature-length movies. Sadly, Lee ended up passing away on the younger age of 32, however he has put his mark on martial arts after which movies surrounding it endlessly.

Shaquille O’Neal is likely to be essentially the most dominant participant in NBA historical past. He was just about unguardable. His solely flaw was his free throw taking pictures, which led to the time period “Hack-a-Shaq”. That is what gamers and followers referred to as it when the opposing staff deliberately fouls a poor free throw shooter as a result of they know they’ll miss. Outdoors of dunking on folks, O’Neal was additionally a rapper and an actor. Shaq acted in a number of movies like Kazaam and Blue Chips. As of late, he’s an NBA analyst for the Emmy award-winning TNT present Contained in the NBA.

O.J. Simpson, what can we are saying about him that you just don’t already know? He was exonerated of the costs within the homicide case of his ex-wife Nicole and her buddy Ron Goldman. He was probably the most spectacular school athletes at USC. He additionally set an NFL dashing file whereas taking part in with the Payments. However you already knew that. Within the ’70s and ’80s, The Juice was a profitable actor. He’s most recognized for his work in Roots and The Bare Gun.

The Juice was additionally an in depth buddy of the household of our subsequent athlete-actor.

Earlier than Caitlin Jenner made the transition that froze popular culture, she was labeled the perfect athlete on the earth. That’s the title you get if you win the gold medal within the Olympic decathlon. Jenner did simply that in 1980. At one time, she was additionally a university soccer participant. After the Olympics, she turned to leisure. Maintaining with the Kardashians isn’t the one time she appeared on the silver display screen. She additionally performed a bike cop on the ’80s hit CHiPs.

Nonetheless developing, see what a former beautiful wrestler is as much as.

Picture: Catherine Steenkeste/NBAE/Getty Photographs

Rick Fox is a former NBA champion for the Los Angeles Lakers. He had a silky clean three-point shot that helped the Lakers massive time in clutch conditions. And will we point out that he’s kind of a heartthrob? He had tons of girls throughout him even earlier than the NBA, whereas taking part in for the College of North Carolina.

Fox began his performing profession nearly on the similar time he started his NBA profession. Since that point, he has been in tons of of visitor starring roles on each tv and movie. You might keep in mind his cameo on the finish of the Disney movie, Holes.

Yet one more WWE wrestler has made the record. This time it’s a stunning girl. Stacy Keibler was wildly well-liked within the wrestling world. It could have been as a result of everybody lusted after her however she was wrestler as nicely. As soon as she left that world she entered a brand new realm: performing.

Keibler has appeared in a handful of flicks and TV reveals. They embody Samurai Woman, What About Brian and Bubble Boy from 2001. Her most well-known transfer didn’t come from the ring, it was when she dated George Clooney.

Like father, like son so the saying goes. Maybe the largest affect on his son’s life must be himself, Percy Miller. Often called Grasp P by the lots, Miller was and is greater than only a file maker. No Restrict Data was once one of many greatest labels in rap. Miller was kind of a renaissance man.

Rapping apart, Miller additionally starred in a number of movies again within the ’90s. Films like I Acquired the Hook-Up and Silly. The films weren’t blockbuster hits however Miller had abilities elsewhere too. Comparable to basketball. He was a member of the Toronto Raptors and the New Orleans Hornets.

WHO’S DA MASTA? When I saw Bruce Leroy and Shonuff, I believed that this movie was the second best to the original master Bruce Lee. The movie pays great homage to the Jeet Kun Do Master. The very title, “The Last Dragon”, had me excited. No other character in the movie was more colorful than the Harlem Shogun: Shonuff. I can also remember when Busta Rhyme, in his video, played Shonuff as well. The actor Julius Carry did a wonderful job of entertaining me. When he says, “Who’s the Master?”, I definitely say, “Shonuff”. #art #artwork #artnerd #artofinstagram #deozi #deoziart #creativeart #shonuff #thelastdragon #taimak #vanity #blaxploitation #fantasyart #graphicart #coloredpencils #pencil #pencildrawing #cinematic #shogun #brucelee #theglow #instaart #illustrator #illustrationart #blackartist #blackactors #sketch #sketchbook @iamtaimak

afriendtosell replied to your post: i periodically think about what kind of hand to...

Shotokan Karate mixed with Jeet Kun Do, maybe? I feel he’s the most “at peace” of the turtles, and the whole mantra of “Be like Water” that the style espouses really seems to fit him when he gets down the business. I can see him def. not being as flashy as everyone else, but still capable of pulling off shit in middle of a fight that leaves his brothers stunned, like “…How did this nerd just DO that?” A lot of redirection and using the opponents movements against themselves.

thats why writing for donnie is difficult, because him being the most “at peace” is not how he’s consistently written.

if we are talking about the 2k3 version, then yea, thats where he’s written at his most compassionate and is positioned as the heart of the team.

but IDW donnie is a bit of a confrontational prick. 1990 movie donnie is probably the most immature out of the four.

jeet kune do as a philosophy makes sense, but its not actually supposed to be a set martial arts style which is why even if that’s assigned to him, it doesnt really help much in defining what his martial arts style would look like. jeet kune do is a martial philosophy that is supposed to mold to your particular character.

i try to compare to each turtle’s weaponry as well. swords straight-forward and efficient, sai are up close and personal, nunchaku are quick and unpredictable and the bo staff is defensive and rangy.

another weird issue is that donnie, being the tech geek, uses the least technologically advanced weapon. its this odd juxtaposition that makes it hard to translate his theoretically hand to hand style.

I think the idea that donnie would pull out ridiculous moves randomly would be pretty neat though, just because he does hang with Mikey a lot. And it does have some precedence, like in 2k3 when he tried that Matrix move with his staff. Mikey would totally try to convince him to pull of goofy ass cartoon level moves.

actually that makes a lot of sense for him.

Hi! For the Detective Conan questions: 1, 6, 8, 9, 12, 13!

!!! Ooh, let’s see if I can do this!

1. How did you get into Detective Conan, and what was your first case?

I can actually trace it back to Bleach! I think…the eleventh opening of Bleach was by a band named Porno Graffitti, and I thought, “Hey that’s a cool song, what else have they done?” So I went wandering and found that they’d done a song named Agehachou, but the only version of it I could find on YouTube was an AMV…starring Kaitou KID. After that I just went digging and started watching!

So first case…if we’re counting the clips from that AMV, it’d be Movies 3 and 8. If not, I started from the very beginning.

6. Which character would you most want as a sidekick?

…. Hm. All of them?

If I’m being totally serious, either Conan or Masumi. Conan is small and can fit in many places. Masumi knows jeet kun do. I am weak and fragile and require someone who can fight while I sit back and make (possibly erroneous) deductions.

8. What is your most memorable Black Organization moment?

MOVE IT, ANGEL!

9. What is your favourite/most memorable case?

If we’re talking singular episodes, 304. If we’re talking long-ass arcs…I adore The Clash of Red and Black, particularly the moments in the hospital where a small boy teams up with a bunch of adults to find a hidden mafia man.

(Also anything involving Shuuichi Akai and his subsequent fake death because hot DAMN.)

12. What are some interesting facts/trivia you’ve learned from the series?

So many. So. Many. That’s the great thing about Aoyama-sensei and his tricks – there’s so many. SO MANY. For some reason, the one that pops into mind first is the wolfsbane trivia from episode 96. How part of the plant is so poisonous you only need like 0.2 ml to kill a man, but the leaves are actually useful medicine!

There was also the whole Japan-used-to-have-a-statute-of-limitations-for-murder-cases thing, but I think that’s long since been abolished.

13. If you were to take the place of any one character, who would it be and why?

The question is not “who would I” but “who COULD I.” I am physically a twig, so that disqualifies at least sixty-seventy percent of the main cast. By those parameters, I’d be, like, Kogoro.

But if those parameters don’t exist…Megure, probably. I could let my sass powers FLY.

Hey, thanks for the ask! This was super fun!

#dcmk #daigakuimo #fun ask!!#fun dcmk themed ask!!!
