you know, seeing how useless my government is (they are still delivering the money from the curse coalition agreement), next to the amazing mass organization by the people who are delivering food, medications, clothing and other necessities, rescuing people and pets, organizing entertainment for kids and teen, building networks of social workers and therapist to help people and finding housing to displaced people...
If I wasn't an anarchist before... this is kinda proving my point of communities based governments.

There's a lot of good stories where it happens but whenever I read an SCP where everything would've been fine in Foundation hands if the GOC hadn't shot first and asked questions later it always makes me think of like

OPM webcomic chapter 142 review: Unforgivable.
Story
So after nearly two years of absence, ONE once again drops a ninja update of the webcomic on us. This is a normal-sized (15-16 pages) webcomic chapter, but we've no idea whether there are any follow-ups to come soon. Combined with the fact that this is an action-packed release with very little in the way of conversation, it's a chapter that just whizzes by in a kinetic stream of beautifully-composed action shots.
We open with the city under attack. A bird (looks like a crow) is perched on a telegraph pole. As it is startled into the air by the laser beams cutting through the building in the background, we see the building explode. The next scenes are confused voices emanating from the surrounding buildings, with people asking what is going on so early, what alarms there are, urging loved ones to get up and get out… and these voices become less coherent as the horror of the reality overtakes them.
Tumblr media
The robots march through the city, systematically and thoroughly destroying every building, car, person, and object in sight. They miss no one and overlook nothing and they keep formation to ensure that no one gets a chance to double back and slip through their ranks. This is not an attack. It is an extermination.
Tumblr media
Their progress is halted by a figure landing in front of them. It's Genos and the footprint he stamps into the road is apparently a challenge, a wordless declaration that none shall pass this point. He doesn't spend time posturing, but charges straight into the ranks of the robots and…
Tumblr media
…robots start to disintegrate, some punched so hard they fly to pieces, some slashed in two, some apparently shocked. Genos mows them down so fast they appear suspended in the air, their slowly falling bodies the only indication he had ever been there. As the entirety of the division is destroyed, we finally see Genos again, walking through them in the same manner that Saitama had walked through the attacking robots the night before.
Tumblr media
A figure appears before Genos in the dust and smoke, and he punches it, realising too late that it's Saitama. Fortunately, Saitama had adroitly dodged around him, and no harm was done. Saitama smiles slightly as he declares that Genos has become strong: the doctor's final upgrade was a success.
Genos does not acknowledge the praise, thinking briefly before suggesting that he and Saitama split up, Saitama to tackle the remaining forces in the city while he Genos goes ahead to Metal Knight's hideout. For a few moments, Saitama is silent. He slowly turns around and then waves to Genos as he starts walking off, telling Genos that he understood and the latter was to be careful.
Tumblr media
Genos doesn't spend time looking wistfully after Saitama. If anything, the inner rage stoking him seems to flare up even hotter. He takes off (the very first time we've seen him fly in the webcomic -- anyone wishing to dispute that is confusing it with the manga) and flies off. En route, he encounters a monster nonchalantly perched on a building, playing with a truck like it's an overgrown Lego piece. Thinking that it stands to reason that Metal Knight would use monsters as biological weapons in conjunction with robots, Genos slashes at the air with his fingers, and the monster is cleaved in several places as if with a sword. Genos isn't to know it but it is Meat Dumpling and with the monster's destruction, Zaedat's murder is avenged.
Tumblr media
Unforgiveable, Genos says to himself, as he flies off.
That's where the chapter leaves off. Shall we meta?
Meta
A: It's Needs O'Clock
I'm going to try to make this the only place I compare this with the manga. Manga readers will notice a similarity between the slashes that Genos used to dispatch Meat Dumpling and Bomb's Whirlwind Cutting Iron Fist. It can't be because of the former having observed the latter in the webcomic as Bomb never used such a move in the webcomic. It's something he (well, Kuseno) has come up with independently.
Tumblr media
One of the things you have to accept as a webcomic reader is that characters are capable of doing things when the narrative requires that they are: there isn't time or space to go into development unless it's super-critical to the plot. If you want to see characters grind, you need to read the manga. It doesn't bother me, but it's something to note and respect.
B: A whodunit resolved
With the appearance of Meat Dumpling, an important set of troublesome coincidences ties itself up into an incriminating body of fact beyond a reasonable doubt. The fact that Meat Dumpling was out there in the middle of a robot uprising clinches it: it was sent out precisely to target Zaedats. This ties in perfectly with how Destro and Erimin were able to recover both Zaedats and Infelsinave: the monsters are under their control and of course the monsters relinquished them without a fuss (or without harming those precious heads of theirs).
Tumblr media
this looked like such bad luck, including the suit's failure to allow him to escape, but no longer
Those two Neo Leaders weren't unlucky, they were the subject of hit jobs so that their resources could fall under The Organization's control.
Tumblr media
A's total lack of surprise was also suspicious but then again, it's A: a guy without a shred of morality
Hoo, so now we know that the robot uprising and the cyborg conspiracy (and whatever fuckery is going on at the Neo Heroes) are all linked. We suspected it was because the body suits they'd been handing out to Neo Heroes looked suspiciously like modified versions of the suits Hammerhead and crew the Organization allowed them to steal. Sonic recognising those suits strengthened our suspicion.
Tumblr media
The appearance of cybernetically modified, remotely-controlled monsters whose actions happened to benefit the Neo Heroes but not pro-heroes strengthened our suspicions still further.
Tumblr media
With the Machine Gods (an Organization special) declaring to Genos that the day of reckoning was about to begin, we knew that The Organization was up to something big.
Tumblr media
However, there was still a tiny bit of room for there to be another bad actor to take advantage of the situation to carry out their evil plans. With the monster appearing, there is doubt no longer: Destro, Erimin, the rampaging robots, the Machine Gods, and the Neo Heroes are all of a piece.
If someone had tried putting these pieces together, they'd have been shouted down as a swivel-eyed conspiracy theorist. But there you go: occasionally, what seems to be a shadowy, well-resourced, well-organized conspiracy to subvert justice and subjugate society IS JUST THAT.
Only just about nobody believes it…
C: Half the Reason
…except Genos and Kuseno. Genos seemed mad to a lot of readers when he first came to Saitama talking about rampaging cyborgs and the total extermination of everyone in his home town, and of shadowy enemies that were all but impossible to track down. We'd seen monsters, sure, but what was this about cyborgs? Was he making it all up? Even though we saw at least one cyborg associated with The Organization early on in the series, we had no real leads as to what was really happening, how extensive it was, and how it all fit together (well, we still don't have the last) until now.
Why would anyone in their right mind give up their human body and become a living weapon? Well, One-Punch Man has been clear that there are many reasons that people become cyborgs for, but in Genos's case we now have half the reason: because nobody wanted to believe that what had seemed a random series of attacks was part of a much greater war, and thus nobody was prepared to challenge it. This was the only way available to him to take that stand.
Something that is both observable to readers within their own lives and observable to readers within the confines of the story is that it is really difficult to kill everyone in a place. Kill at least one person? Not too bad. A few? Tougher. Many? Tougher still. Most people? That's quite the ask, even with heavy artillery. Everybody? That takes some serious planning and execution. We've noticed that monsters, for all their strength and size, are remarkably bad at killing lots of people: they can nab some people randomly and knock some buildings down, but the sort of kill numbers are far lower than one would initially expect -- if one forgets about the propensity of people to save themselves. We're not chickens stuck in a chicken coop, painfully shivering as we're grabbed one by one. The heroes are useful, yes, but damn do the monsters help by being more interested in intimidating people than killing and eating them for the most part.
Tumblr media
Chillingly, the most economical explanation is that once the method of achieving total kills was validated, it no longer needed the human input of a cyborg and could be automated.
The difference between what monsters do and what the robots were doing is chillingly clear. Not a single person woken up early that morning survived. That's the sort of thoroughness it takes to kill everyone in a town and I praise ONE for showing this to us in such an economic manner. This scene must have been a horrible flashback to Genos's fateful day. It really takes a certain kind of mind to execute this. One thing often misunderstood in the story is the word 'bosu' -- it does not so much mean mad as it means rampaging, out of control. The mad cyborg is less mad than it does go on systematic rampages, rampages that have resulted in the total destruction of multiple towns. The only thing special about Genos's former town is that it's the last known place struck.
And his literally taking a stand to stop repeats of these exterminations is incredibly admirable.
Tumblr media
D: Prelude to a Tragedy
However, happy as everyone is to see Genos wrecking the bots like wrecking is going out of fashion, I don't think there are many who are optimistic about what is unfolding. For it's the first act in a tragedy. A tragedy whose full impact we are surely going to see unfold over the rest of the arc, and quite possibly in many arcs to follow. Genos is going to attack Metal Knight, the latter having successfully been framed by Drive Knight. The chances that the Metal Knight who has been watching Organization operatives with such suspicion is himself the culprit is slim. However, Drive Knight gloating about how Metal Knight was blindsided by the rise of the Neo Heroes very strongly suggests that the doctor, for all his crabby, misanthropic presentation, is indeed innocent.
Tumblr media
There's still room for reasonable doubt when it comes to Bofoi's intentions and actions, but Genos is not in the mood to listen. He's entirely fixated on killing. Whether he kills Bofoi, is killed by him, or they take each other out, the only beneficiaries are the enemies of mankind currently trying to break civilization with machines and modified biological weapons.
Perhaps Saitama should not have let Genos go alone with only the exhortation to be careful. Genos will need all his wits and all the luck he has never had to thread this particular needle without tragedy.
Tumblr media
Good luck: the ease with which the unforgiving can become the unforgiven is truly terrifying.

Literally show me random cool shots of your veins/arteries, visible bones, the movement and details of fat, muscle flexing, facial expressions, tendons, cool body contortion tricks, sweat stains, blood, scar tissue, body hair, raw flesh (like under a broken nail), injuries, tear tracks/those little red dots that show up... I will like you for it XD the better (more detailed/novel) the image or video the more I'm going to be insane about it. Like. Isn't it so cool when you squeeze flesh it moves. Isn't it so cool the way eyes move. How many facial expressions can you think of that you can make and how many do you usually use? Which muscles do you know how to flex autonomously and which do you not? How do your nerves respond to different stimuli? Different kinds of pain? What is your heartbeat like? Can I listen? How far above the resting rate is the active rate? Hngh

Sometimes I wish I would like put on an outfit or be in a scenario or hear a pronoun and think to myself oh yeah THAT'S the right one like it seems like other people are feeling this sense of self I just don't have. I kind of just feel out of place no matter where I am or what I wear or how I present myself, not really in a bad way, just like, I'm a tourist here (everywhere)

@ask-organized-chaos
It was odd, what Kate discovered in the Fog at times -- different realms that the trials were held in, places that had yet to become anything save for forests, that lake she and a Jake had found ages ago, and now this. There was an odd sort of twilight here that made it feel closer to sunset than a real twilight, and that small bit of fading light did pull her lips into a smile.
Leaves crunched under foot as she forged her own trail, curious as to what lay in these hills. It felt almost like home -- Christ, it even smelled like it. Had it not been for the fog lingering at the edge of her vision, Kate would have thought it to be part of the mountain trail she had hiked the day the Entity became part of that tree and dragged her here.
She wanted to climb to the top of some of these mountains, but she didn't think it wise. If a killer did lurk in this forest, she didn't want to chance running into them. Instead, the small songbird hunted for a place to sit. Though she knew it wasn't home, it wasn't about to stop her from playing her guitar.
There as an odd sort of déjà vu as she sat herself on a small boulder and pulled the guitar around. Ever since that Other Chris had gifted her the guitar, she had been lugging it around, playing it every chance she got. This, unlike the old one she had found when she first got into the Fog, did not have to be tuned within an inch of its life every time.
So she leaned back until her body rested comfortably against the tree behind her, and started to play. Favorites always came out first -- Country Roads, Jolene. Yet, she always ended up on her comfort song, Shady Grove. Unlike past times, though, she did even up playing it a second time, letting her voice join in with the guitar this time.

Hi! Thank you so much for posting the new chapter :) I can’t even put into words how much I love your work. It feels crazy because I have been following liab for over a year now and I think I’ve never been this consistent with anything in my life :D i don’t know if it’s a secret but do you have the next chapters already planned out? And do you know how many chapters this part is going to be? Thank you for you hard work!!
Hiii aww I’m so glad you liked the new chapter! & yeah wow I’ve been writing this fic for like 2 years I think, shiiiit what is time ahhh. Thanks for sticking with me so long <3
I actually have pretty much all the chapter planned out until the battle begins but my problem is I do them by events so it’s like I want this this and this to happen in a chapter but idk how long it’ll take to make that happen but I know what I want to write lol.
(& sometimes the characters don’t LISTEN & I say be nice and make this an easy talk and they’re like no fuck you author I wanna fight right now and the convo takes 1.5k instead of idk 500 words lol. )
I just posted chapter 15 & I’m going to GUESS we are about halfway done. In my mind we are halfway through the last book and that means we have roughly 15 chapter left to go then the epilogue.
I’m pretty good at estimating chapter count but horrible at word count estimation haha.
Thanks for the ask I hope you have an awesome day!!

nearly finished with Armada and lowkey WHY is Unicron so got damb horrifying. whyd they have to do that and how did they do it so WELL
#g1's portrayal made it so you could understand just how limitless and powerful and (to tfs especially) incomprehesible he is#but ARMADA made it physically impossible for this giant robot to be a clearly cut giant robot#and in doing so really pushed the notion that Unicron is still to some extent mechanical but so completely Other from cybertronians#he's organic he's inorganic he's the moon he's omnipresent he can summon spatial anomalies he has hallways that look like arteries#(spoilers from here on out) he both is and isn't Sideways like how Jesus both is and isn't God which I think fucked with me the most#because when Sideways told Thrust: 'those who serve [Unicron] will be rewarded and those who stand against him will know his wrath' or smth#in the end the only person who was 'rewarded' was Sideways. who was Unicron anyway#Unicron was never going to reward anyone. and those who stand and fight only make him stronger BY fighting.#g1 gave us Unicron the Unfathomable but Armada gave us Unicron the Inevitable. Unicron the Insurmountable#and THAT is why Armada Unicron scares the piss out of me. g1 Unicron was a transformer god but Armada Unicron is a GOD god and they SHOW it#the kind of self-serving omnipotent force of chaos and destruction and death that haunts the narrative from the very beginning#and for a kids' show they pull it off SCARILY WELL#maybe that's another part of it. the entire show is so obviously curated towards toy sales EXCEPT how they handle Unicron#and that also works to make him feel distinct and unfathomable. in a meta sort of way. i like that

I don't know why I'm doing this to myself.
It seems every once in awhile, I need cutscene footage of a Sonic game for something and since Frontiers doesn't have an event viewer (seriously, why? Every game in the past 20 years has had one! minus Lost World which ALWAYS seems to be the one I need), I'll edit the cutscenes together myself because I don't like using other peoples footage
Depending on the file size, I might also see about hosting the video file for download in case anyone needs it without YouTube's compression.
Tumblr media
This is gonna be something. I'm also using the SOAP shoes because I like them.
