#shot on target

[service4cops]

He loves having his weapon professionally serviced and knows that I'm the best provider in town. He always shoots on target and empties his chamber, and I love swallowing every last drop of his ball juice and milking him dry.

For all the talk UtRH gets about where on Jason’s body Bruce was trying to hit with the Batarang (throat, shoulder, side of the neck, etc.), especially about hitting his throat, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone bring up that Bruce banked the shot off a pipe behind Jason, making it literally impossible to hit his throat from such an angle unless Jason turned around (which he didn’t).

As for why he banked the shot at all: the only spot he could have hit from a straight shot would have been Jason’s face.

#i personally think that he was aiming for the shoulder to make him drop the gun #aiming for the side of the neck would be too small a target for a banked shot #and the back of the neck would risk severing his spine #plus bruce is very clearly desperate at this point and is a long ways through the emotional wringer #under the red hood #utrh #jason todd #the red hood #red hood #joker #the joker #batman #bruce wayne #dc #dc comics #🐍

I'm biromantic and asexual and both of these things matter to me but generally speaking, I feel like being bi is a bigger piece of my identity; it's the option I choose if I have to use just one term to describe my sexuality, etc. I'm curious about how that compares to other people who use the split attraction model, so!

I'd love it if people reblogged and I'd love it if people elaborated in the tags, but you are of course not obligated to do either!

#idk if this will gain any traction but it's worth a shot I'm curious #poll #aromantic #asexual #aspec #bi lesbian #<- these are ofc not the only groups who use the SAM and not everyone in those groups uses it but #they're the communities i see discussing it the most and i wanna reach my target audience #joy to the world

I'm sorry you have been what in the woods.

oh look who's interested in my getting shot lore now. Should have been there when it happened sorry

#[.asks] #anonymous #it wasn't anything major (not a real shooting bullet) I just like to say it like that because it makes it sound worse #my father and I were hiking in a place where some people were doing some sort of hunting training camp or whathave you #in hindsight we definitely should have not been there but my dad ignores warning sings constantly when in the woods #ironic that my father didn't get shot since he was the bigger target but maybe they mistook me for a fox or something #it's the only stiches I ever had to get! and the wound healed bad so I hate wearing canotte now. </3

Everything's a competition with these boys; who can shoot farthest, last longest, shoot the biggest, thickest, tastiest load. Fortunately, I was on my knees after their practice run to help them out. It was a tie, so they had to go again, until one came out on top.

(no, I'm not gonna tell you which)

Troublesome Tangmere and 249 Squadron Reliable Rebecca!

In an ideal world, we could've had a story where Tangmere causes good old Sundrian Confusion and Delay and then promptly eats shit.

Rebecca as 249 Squadron wasn't my idea, but it's been ingrained into my head nonetheless. I like the idea of a Rebecca that spent most of her life in scrapyards and storage and then still coming out singing- quite literally! But the trauma of it is still very much there, just... lingering. I imagine 'What Rebecca Does' was one of those moments where her anxiety and self doubt got the better of her- she only spent a short while on rails, and while she did pull expresses like The Night Ferry back on the mainland, here on Sodor it seemed that everyone is much more.... experienced and worldly and cool, and most of all, they got modifications and rebuilds to work around their design flaws while Rebecca is still very much an unrebuilt bulleid pacific. Poor girl's not sure what she can really do, after all these years and with her mechanical problems. This isn't even getting into when she WAS in service- her family was fine, and quite loving actually- and the ex SR engines were a decent sort! Everyone else, however...

#this is all to say that i heart rebecca. and i think the bulleids should get more attention in ttteblr CAN WE GET A HURRAY FOR THE BULLEIDS #live from tidmouth #creative on the mainline #ttte #thomas and friends #thomas the tank engine #ttte rebecca #ttte oc #ttte oc tangmere #stream pollyanna by catherine warwick and maybe you'll understand rebecca as a character #ALSO i imagine that the bulleid pacifics were... looked down upon by the lms and lner pacifics shall we say #the sr engines were probably ignored at best #but i think the other pacifics saw an easy target in the merchant navies and west country/battle of britains because of how... shall we say #rather janked the classes were #which led to the bulleids becoming both supportive yet also very defensive #rebecca's defensiveness manifested more positively. with her not taking stuff personal and playing along #her siblings... not so much #tangmere in particular will go for the jugular if you tease him even slightly #and also im writing a series of rebecca one shots from start of service to being sent to sodor #we'll see if i manage to post even one....

"Not Even At Gunpoint!"

Future Echoes of the Past #3

I didn't plan this meta. Well, maybe...just a tiny, weeny bit...I had been keeping a parallel in mind for a while...but not in this context. But it was kind of one of these moments:

Lets start at the beginning.

@beebopboom has been exploring the three magic tricks that appear in the S2 opening sequence recently, and speculating how the third one might appear in S3, and I've been exploring the paintball fight scene at Tadfield Manor in S1E2 and how that relates to the Great War in Heaven that formed Hell, and the events around the Fall. The two topics intersect, as you have echoes of the Bullet Catch magic trick from the 1941 minisode in S2E4 appearing not once but at least twice at Tadfield Manor.

But...then I realised, there's more than one pointed gun. Way more.

I'd always liked this throwback line from Crowley in S2E1, when Nina asks him if he is a bookseller as well:

Who would want to be a bookseller when this could happen to you?

Shadwell, turning up at the book shop in S1E4, disturbs Aziraphale contacting Heaven through the portal (a modified Solomon's magic circle) under the oculus, and breaks in to confront him. The historical implications of Aziraphale's lines here are that before homosexuality was decriminalized in the UK meeting places for such people were often disguised as respectable looking book shops. Which makes Nina's question in S2E1 and Crowley's denial to her all the more...loaded? Ah, well, you can't fool Nina, now, can you?

Anyway, mah point is...Shadwell literally has Aziraphale at gunpoint, er, fingerpoint here. Loaded fingerpoint.

But then, this isn't the first time Aziraphale has had a gun pointed at him. He had one pointed at him in the church in 1941 by the Nazi agent double-crossing Greta. His biggest fear, as always, isn't actually "dying," or standing in front of the guns, its the paperwork that he knows will go with getting a new body from the Ineffable Bureaucracy.

Crowley turns up to rescue him, because he "didn't want to see [him] embarrassed." With a bit of equivocation between the two of them, all the time while at gunpoint from Greta, they team up to save each other.

This was even before we got to the Bullet Catch - his "show stopper!"

Back to Tadfield Manor.

As they enter, Crowley is lined up in the crosshairs.

Er, wait a minute...

Only Crowley is shown this way here, not Aziraphale. He's a target. I'm starting to ask what point in time this is referring to - the present or the past? Both. Yeah, why not both! The work I did in this previous meta in this series showed that Crowley was considered a target for early removal by the other demons-to-be prior to the Fall.

Then they are both shot.

I pointed out Aziraphale gets shot by blue paint, representing Heaven, but its a colour we don't see used again by any one in the fighting to come. But what I didn't talk about was WHERE he got hit - in the back. That's synonymous with treachery. Heaven has stabbed Aziraphale in the back, so to speak. wow. Nice - not.

And Crowley? He gets hit in the heart - just like the Norman/Lucifer parallel on the Yellow Team does a short while later during his "fall" scene - with the red paint, betrayed by the Red Team who represent the management in Heaven.

Seems the Ineffable Bureaucracy wanted both them out of the way during the Great War...it get more and more interesting each time I look closer at it...

So was Aziraphale ever in the crosshairs? Yep.

And, as @vavoom-sorted-art points out, this is a time Aziraphale chooses to pick a weapon, and to fight. He didn't want the simple, safe deception trick with the ropes - he wanted a weapon. He really is much more the warrior than Crowley. Aziraphale, I think your nature as a principality is showing!

Firing that gun made Crowley sick to his stomach, and so did this metaphorical loaded gun - the Book of Life.

As soon as he found out from Beelzebub it was a real possibility of being played he went back to protect Aziraphale. Crowley hates fighting - watch how often he will try shut it down as quickly as possible or try to escape it when he can. To him everyone has free will, and the person picking the fight with the other is imposing their will on them. That's 'not on' in his books.

Aziraphale, on the other hand, is still reacting with his ingrained Heavenly instincts - that he should follow his morals because they are 'right,' and more sophisticated weapons add weight to the moral argument. He thinks. Maybe. (Yeah, keep working on that doubt, angel.)

Az: Impressive hardware. I've looked at this gun, its not a proper one at all. It just shoots paintballs. Cr: Don't your lot disapprove of guns? Az: Unless they're in the right hands. Then they give weight to a moral argument. I think. Cr: [laughing] A moral argument? Really? *tosses gun away* C'mon. [Heads into the Manor.] [later, after Crowley changes the paintball guns to real guns...] Az: But there are people out there shooting at each other! Cr: Well -  Lends weight to their moral argument. Everyone has free will, including the right to murder. Just think of it as a microcosm of the universe.

I'll think I'll end this here and leave you with a small montage of the aftermath of all this gun play - everything going up in flames and smoke.

Bring on S3!

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS DOUJINSHI?

Title: The Prodigy Circle: TeionYakedo Artist: Secco Release Date: 2005-11-3 Size: 44p

I've been looking for it on various doujinshi websites for several months and haven't been able to find it (it's quite old and therefore rare) - so if YOU own this doujinshi and are willing to part with it, I will buy it from you!

Please note that you'll need to be able to prove (via pictures) that you actually have it before any money changes hands.

The doujinshi does NOT need to be in mint condition! Small traces of usage are no problem as long as there is no major damage that would impact the ability to read it (missing or torn pages, pages made illegible by stains, etc).

I will pay for

the doujinshi itself

the shipping costs

any customs fees if you're sending from outside the EU

your next order of coffee or other beverage of choice as thanks for helping me find it

Message me here or on Discord under the name idridian (which is also the handle of my main Tumblr)! Cheers!

You know I saw a post recently that said something along the lines of "You can't hold anything Moash did after he became Vyre against him, because he's under the influence of Odium and he's too mentally ill to see that he's wrong."

And I just??? What???

You did read Oathbringer, right? Being under the influence of Odium does not mean that Moash isn't in control of his actions... that's like the whole point of Dalinar's arc. Odium doesn't make the choice for "Vyre;" he is still in control of his actions.

Say what you will about whether or not Moash is in the right when it comes to the Alethi nobility or what have you; I'm not here to debate that. But the argument that Moash/Vyre is not responsible for his actions is demonstrably false.

#for further clarification this is NOT targeted at all Moash fans #not by a long shot #I have very little to say on the actual debate itself #I just do not vibe with the whole. yknow. #Moash is not responsbile thing #honestly I wish I could find the post that I saw making this argument #and reply to it #but alas idek when i saw it #it's been a minute #cosmere spoilers #moash #moash stormlight #rythm of war #the stormlight archive #taiga says things
