🕷️The Adventures of Agent Arachnis!🕸️

[Ep. 3: Briefing & Chill out]

[Valorant x Marvel]

[Synopsis]: Arachnis has more to tell about Earth 2020-6-2 (Valorant Universe) and it’s mostly a chilled out day.

[Gender Neutral Reader]

[(A/N)]: Yeah, I’m still working on the OC. Just need some time working on their traits and backstory.

[Earth-928, Spider Society H.Q.]

[Spider-Man 2099’s lair]

Arachnis: So, you’re still questioning about my world and line of work?

Miguel: It’s unlikely we recruited a Spider-based hero who has no variations of Spider-Man’s enemies.

Arachnis: That should be a good thing since we’re already dealing with doppelgängers stealing our power source. *Hooks up their tablet to the computer*

Peter B. Parker: What are you about to show us?

Arachnis: Video feeds of the agents doing their duties. Lyla, is everything ready?

Lyla: Yep! *Plays the video*

Peter B. Parker: What’s with the music?

Arachnis: Sorry. My colleague, Cypher edited these videos and he likes to add dramatization to everything.

Miguel: This is where we caught the Goblin variant.

Arachnis: Yeah, back on Omega Earth where I freaked out because we were on their territory.

Peter B. Parker: Huh. Sounds like you two had fun on your “date”.

Miguel & Arachnis: We’re not dating.

Lyla: Wow. You have so many video feeds. *Plays another one*

Peter B. Parker: *Growing concern* Are you sure this alright to watch this?

Arachnis: Peter, everything is heavily edited in case newly recruited agents are too squeamish when reviewing these feeds.

Peter B. Parker: What if the kids see these videos?

Arachnis: I added a passcode to the feeds for security reasons and only agents can access them. *Points to themselves*

Lyla: *Plays another feed* These look fun.

Arachnis: Oh yeah. For odd reasons, he likes to add titles and thumbnails like if they’re cinematic episodes or something.

Peter B. Parker: You have a training bot?

Arachnis: We had one, but everyone destroyed the thing. Originally, it was a cleaner bot and some agents decided to rebuild it as a killing machine for petty games, and it was completely demolished because it tried to eliminate us all.

Peter B. Parker: Oh. At least you’re okay.

Miguel: [Y/N], why aren’t you in any of these feeds?

Arachnis: I wasn’t recruited yet until later and had stealth missions during those times. I have some clips with me in them. *Shows some exclusive feeds to Miguel from their phone*

Miguel: *Watching intently* *Secretly impressed by their performance and gets surprised by the killing spree*

Arachnis: Ah fuck. Sorry. I forgot those parts. Some guards spotted me and I had to fight back.

《🕷️》

Arachnis: Wait. Say that again? You called everything about multiple universes with their variants of Spider-people, the “Arachnohumanoid Polymultiverse”?

Miguel: It’s an accurate description.

Arachnis: It sounds stupid. Cute, but stupid.

Miguel: How would you rename it?

Arachnis: The Spiderverse sounds like a better fit.

《🕷️》

Peter B. Parker: Has anyone seen Mayday?

Miles: *Nods* We haven’t seen her.

Gwen: Oh god. Let’s go find her.

[The Spider gang search everywhere in the building. Through the food court, to every sector, to the Go-Home area and even the darkest corners of the society.]

Hobie: *Spots a bundle of webbing by Sector 2* Found ‘em.

[Peter lifts off the flap that is attached to the funnel web and he finds a surprise inside.]

Arachnis: *Quietly napping with Mayday on their chest in the funnel-shaped web hammock*

Peter B. Parker: Awww. *Pulls out his phone and snaps some images*

Arachnis: *Wakes up drowsy and yawns* Huh? Peter?

Mayday: *Also wakes up and yawns* *Adorably rubs her eyes*

Peter B. Parker: Morning, sleepyheads.

Arachnis: *Takes out their mouth guards* Bleh.

Peter B. Parker: Huh. I didn’t know you wear retainers.

Arachnis: No, these are mouth guards. I can’t retract my fangs and don’t want to hurt Mayday.

Miles: When did you have time to make this?

Arachnis: Just an hour ago. It’s pretty easy when your role is Sentinel on missions.

《🕷️》

Arachnis: *Babysitting Mayday again* “Spider-Mayday! Spider-Mayday! Does whatever a spider can do! She can swing, from her web!”

Mayday: *Giggling while Arachnis lifts her around the air*

Miguel: *Watches the two playing around through his monitors*

Lyla: *Over his shoulder* Stalker, much?

Miguel: What? No. They’re still a possibility that they can be dangerous.

Arachnis: Look, Mayday. Check this out, *Creates a Web Barrier* Can you do that?

Mayday: *Manage to trap Arachnis in her webs* *Cheers happily*

Arachnis: *Wrapped up like a burrito* Somebody help me.

Lyla: Uh-huh, yeah. They seem dangerous.

《🕷️》

[Earth 2020-6-2, Valorant H.Q.]

Arachnis: *Contacting with the others through their watch* Sorry, Miguel. Things are tense at the VP now and I’m not sure how long it will take for the mess to settle down. There are major updates about Kingdom and something triggered my friend’s buddies from the revelations.

Gekko: *In the background trying to calm Thrash down with Wingman*

Miguel: Understandable. You do what you need to do. Just…

Arachnis: What?

Miguel: Just don’t get in trouble and do not fail your duties.

Arachnis: I know, you grump. You don’t have to remind me. Maybe when things get better, I’ll be back in the Society. Don’t miss me too much, big guy.

Miguel: I won’t miss you.

Arachnis: I know you will. Tell the others I’ll be gone for some time and be back soon. *Ends call*

[Back on Earth 928]

Lyla: You’re worried about them.

Miguel: No, I don’t.

Lyla: C’mon, admit it. I read the vitals and they don’t lie. You’re more than worried for their safety.

Miguel: Lyla, just stop. I understand they need to do their job. Just like everyone else.

Lyla: Not everyone faces their own double everyday to prevent a worldly disaster while avoiding hundreds of bullets.

Miguel: *Sighs* “Shock. I do worry for them.”

Hello!! Could I possibly request headcanons for a reader that is shorter than the agents? (I had coddling in mind while i wrote this) If you’re not up to doing all of em that’s fine, I would like to see them for chamber and yoru mostly :)

Thanks for the request, anon! I decided to do brief headcanons with all the Valorant agents. I also wrote it with a general reader in mind and can be taken as platonically if you wish. Hope you guys like it!

If you want to request anything, you can do so here.

Word count: 1367

No warnings.

Valorant Headcanons - Petite Reader

Astra: She might coddle you a little, but only if she thinks that you’re in danger or having an issue with something (i.e. unable to reach something). Outside of that, however, Astra won’t think much about the fact that you’re shorter than her. She also won’t tease you about it whatsoever. Should you two become friends or something more, Astra will coddle you a little too much again just because of her feelings for you.

Breach: He would definitely tease you for being shorter, but it’s all in good fun and he doesn’t mean to hurt your feelings. If you told Breach to knock it off, he’ll learn to do so- especially if it bothers you whenever he teases you. He won’t coddle you, but he may keep an eye on you during missions to make sure you’re safe. But if you two are in a relationship, he'll keep an even sharper eye on you.

Brimstone: He would coddle you at first and even be a bit overbearing, but he will stop if you ask him politely. That being said, Brimstone will still worry about you a little due to his position in the Protocol. He’ll also keep an eye on you if you’re on a mission with him like he does with the other agents. He’ll trust you to handle yourself after seeing you in action the first time, regardless of how close you two become.

Chamber: Since he likes to tease people about everything, he’ll definitely tease you about being shorter than him. But similar to Breach, Chamber will stop if you tell him that the teasing about your height bothers him. He’s not the type to coddle you, but he would keep half an eye on you if you’re on a mission together- especially if he really cares about you.

Cypher: It wouldn’t occur to Cypher to tease you about your height. However, he will coddle you due to his fatherly instinct. He can’t help but worry about something happening to you. He’ll try to keep tabs on you (He has his ways!), though he’ll lay off a bit if you ask him enough times.

Fade: She would tease you a bit, but it would stop quickly because Fade will soon realize that your height isn’t tied to any of your fears. After that, she won’t bring it up again or worry about you whatsoever. But if Fade grows to care about you (be it as a friend or something more), she will keep an eye on you without being overbearing.

Jett: Since she’s also rather short, Jett won’t tease you much at all over your height. She will keep an eye on you, however. You two will even bond over being two of the shortest agents in the Protocol. You and Jett will keep an eye out for one another whenever you’re on a mission together because you care about each other. You may become rivals too, but it’s all in good fun.

KAY/O: It doesn’t occur to him that you’re so short, so he won’t comment on it. He would keep an eye on you if you two are on a mission together; but then again, KAY/O does that to all agents. If you two are close, he will care a bit more about your overall well-being, but that’s about it.

Killjoy: Upon you two meeting, Killjoy will remark on how short you are with pure wonder. She may ask a few uncomfortable questions about your height out of sheer curiosity. But she’ll profusely apologize if you tell her that you don’t want to answer such questions. She won’t coddle you or keep an eye on you once you make it clear that you can handle yourself.

Neon: Neon won’t think to worry about you, as her thoughts tend to be a bit flighty for the most part. If someone points your petite height out to her, Neon won’t say much in response simply because she doesn’t care because she believes you’re a capable agent anyways. If you two are close, however, she may keep a closer eye on you if you’re out on a mission together.

Omen: Your short height isn’t something Omen would even think about upon meeting you the first time. If someone else were to point it out to him, he may be concerned that you can handle yourself. Only after seeing you in action will he believe that you’re more than capable of doing so. If you and Omen are close, he’ll keep a closer eye on you and even insist on accompanying you on your missions to ensure that you’re okay.

Phoenix: He would definitely tease you about your height, no doubt. But if you told Phoenix to stop, he would do so and even apologize if he accidentally hurt your feelings too. He won’t coddle you, but he may keep an eye out if you two are on a mission together. This is especially true if you two are close.

Raze: She would also tease you about your height, though she would knock it off as soon as you ask her to stop. Raze will want to train with you to ensure that you’ll be okay when you’re out on a mission. If you tell her that you can handle yourself, she’ll only believe you after seeing you in action herself.

Reyna: She’d definitely tease you about your height upon meeting, but won’t carry on past that. That’s because Reyna would rather tease you about other matters instead. She would only coddle you if you two develop a friendship or relationship. If you tell her to quit coddling you, Reyna might let up a little. But she would still worry about you simply because she doesn’t want to lose you (though she’d never admit it to anyone but you).

Sage: She won’t tease you about your height, but she’ll definitely coddle you. It’s not that Sage thinks you’re incapable of handling things; she’s just a worrier by nature. It will take some time and a heart-to-heart before Sage realized that all that coddling and worrying wasn’t necessary. That being said, she will still worry a little about you, especially if you two are friends or more.

Skye: It’s in Skye’s nature to coddle others a bit due to being a healer; after all, she wants everyone to be safe during missions. She might tease you a little if you happen to be shorter than her; but even then, it would be brief and all in fun. Skye will lay off the coddling if you ask her too, but it’ll be hard for her if you two are either friends or a couple. She tends to worry about you the most in either scenario.

Sova: Truthfully, Sova would worry about you even if you weren’t petite in height. It’s in his nature to worry about his fellow agents. He won’t worry about you too much after seeing in action though. Also, Sova won’t tease you about your height. He may comment on it the first time you meet, but that’s all.

Viper: Like Reyna, Viper will only tease you about your height once upon you two meeting. Your height may cause her to doubt your abilities at first. But after seeing you in action, those doubts will fade away for the most part. She’s not the type to worry over/coddle others, so she won’t do that to you either. That being said, if you two became friends or more, Viper will secretly worry about your safety despite being fully confident in your abilities as an agent.

Yoru: Out of all the agents, Yoru will tease you about your height the most. If you want him to stop, you’ll have to make it crystal clear that it bothers you. But even after that, it might not be enough. Perhaps a smack upside the head or something will shut him up. As with Viper, he won’t worry about you- that is, unless he thinks you’re about to do something stupid. If you two are close, that worry will grow a bit more. He may even want to go on missions with you to ensure that you’ll be safe.

  “Happy birthday, Nate!” The young woman chirped, giving him a slight bow of greeting. In her hands, she holds two tickets to the battle restaurant by Pastoria, the other holding a large bag of rare, difficult to make, but delicious poffins for his pokemon. Some of them had specific amount of spices to give it a kick in the sweetness, some with a sugar undertone for the immense level of spice, and the lsit goes on. Just know they’re REALLY hard to make.

    “I reserved a spot for us at the restaurant, you know the one by the valor lakefront? That one! I got it that we get to be there all day, and a nice hotel by it for us to go to afterwards. I figured since you like battling so much, it’d be a nice way to spend time together. And also,” She hands him the tickets and the poffin gently into his hands.

   "I made some poffins for your pokemon. It’s a large bag too, I’d hope they wouldn’t run out soon. Happy birthday, Nate.“

Nate’s eyes first noticed the rather large bosom bag she was carrying, full of what seemed to be delicious treats! Poffins? Or were they something else? Well whatever the case he might have to wait to find out.

“Thanks Dawn! I really appreciate hearin that from ya!” He gave her a warm smile, although his eyes turned to the tickets as soon as she presented them. Taking a moment to look over them, his eyes began to widen in excitement as the words she spoke rang like a symphony to his ears. A full course meal... at a battle restaurant! Hell, he had been eyeing this one before during his time at Sinnoh, but it was hard to find someone who was a good enough battler to go.

Dawn, of course, was more than capable of holding her own, which made this trainer so overjoyed that he honestly was tempted to just rush over there immediately! His competitive spirit was a hard one to tame, but easy to get exited nonetheless. Hell, he was so excited that he almost didn’t hear the part about the hotel! Almost. The fact that she was willing to spend the night with him after an all day battle-buffet-dinner-date was icing on the cake, and a small relief as well! Still, that wasn’t going to stop him from flirting up a storm between battles... and during any tag team battles they might face together.

Taking the bag of poffins -- which honestly smelled great! She probably made them herself too which must have taken her all week or something -- Nate gave her the widest grin imaginable as he thanked her once again. “Thank ya so much! Really Dawn! I love it, and I’m sure my Buddies will love it too. I just gotta make sure Emboar and Arcanine don’t eat all of em in one go! They got the biggest appetites out of all of them.” He chuckles, so excited that he just sort of goes in for a big hug without thinking, before just as abruptly letting go.

“Anyways, we should really get goin soon! How bout we grab our outfits and meet up right after that, okay? Yo have no IDEA how I’m excited for this!!! Wait, no, ya definitely do, but still!!”

Os valores de caráter começam na fase de bebê e só encerram quando seu sim se torna jovem adulto. Mas por onde começar e o que ensinar primeiro? Vou dividir a postagem em faixas etárias para ajudar.

Fase de bebê:

Muita gente acha que nessa fase é impossível ensinar qualquer coisa para o bebe de valores de caráter já que normalmente seu sim está saturado ensinando as habilidades, mas é ai que você se engana, existem sim habilidades que devem e podem ser ensinadas durante essa fase.

Traços recomendados:

Incansável

Independente

Grudento

Sem dúvidas esses são os melhores traços até mesmo para valores de caráter. Os dois primeiros farão com que seus bebês sejam teimosos com mais frequência, ou seja, sempre que isso acontecer seu sim vai precisar falar de forma "firme" com ele e pedir para que não faça mais. Fazendo isso algumas vezes fará com que seu bebê comece a subir Educação. No caso do grudento, ele não vai te desobedecer muito, mas fará chiliques com mais frequência quando você deixa-o sozinho no cômodo, podendo até mesmo ficar com o humor triste. Nesse caso, ele poderá ter chiliques nervosos e você poderá repreende-lo, subindo assim Controle emocional.

Mas o que é realmente essencial ensinar ao seu bebê? Pra mim, sem sombra de dúvidas o melhor é aproveitar o tempo livre para ensinar seu bebê a pedir desculpas já que a categoria de resolução de conflitos é a mais chata de se fazer. Você pode aproveitar o último dia da fase de vida do bebê para ensina-lo a pedir desculpas pelo máximo que conseguir. Lembrando, use e abuse de sua habilidade de Criação e educação, Dê fôlego extra, faça o bebe Se limpar sozinho e Diga para que ele coma alguma coisa, assim você melhora as barrinhas de energia, higiene e fome, dando mais tempo livre para ensinar isso.

Fase da infância:

Durante a infância você possuirá novas formas de subir seus valores de caráter, pra quem quer algo um pouco mais fácil e que permita subir educação e responsabilidade ao ir para a escola, recomendo esse mod que fará com que seus sims possam fazer muitas interações no colégio e assim conseguir aumentar ou diminuir alguns valores de caráter:

https://www.kawaiistaciemods.com/post/better-schools-mod

Mas se você prefere fazer isso sem mods, siga as dicas.

É importante que você suba a habilidade dos pais em paralelo com o nascimento da criança, pois isso só nos dará vantagens nesse processo. Meu nível recomendado para a infância é 8 em Criação e Educação e já já vou explicar o porque.

As habilidades que você deve focar em subir nessa fase são Resolução de Conflitos e Empatia. O jeito mais rápido de subir essas habilidades é quando seus filhos pedem conselhos. Tentem sempre escolher o que aumenta Resolução de Conflitos e Empatia, desde que a troca seja por Responsabilidade ou Educação, já que essas duas são as habilidades mais fáceis de evoluir.

Não se preocupe que seu filho fique mal educado ou irresponsável no começo, pois você só precisará responder conselhos até que Resolução e Empatia estejam cheias ainda na infância, por isso o nível 8 é essencial, com ele você poderá ver todas as opções disponíveis durante os conselhos.

Para manter Educação em um nível relativamente alto, recomendo que seu sim Sempre coloque a mesa, limpe os pratos e saia se apresentando para todos os estranhos que conseguir. (Assim você também consegue ir completando a aspiração Social). Se seus sims ainda tiverem tempo, ensine a dizer por favor e obrigado.

Já para manter Responsabilidade, você precisará apenas de fazer a lição de casa, o trabalho extra (disponível após tirar nota 8 na escola) e SEMPRE faça os projetos escolares.

Sempre que seu filho chegar estressado/triste/raivoso da escola, mande-o escrever em seu diário, isso dará um bônus e o Controle Emocional subirá muito mais rápido. Emoções negativas ajudam a melhorar e muito essa habilidade.

Fazendo tudo isso, seu filho atingirá nota 10 na escola em torno de 3 ou 4 dias, podendo ganhar mais responsabilidade ao manter notas altas. Lembre-se, a habilidade de Criação e Educação é sua amiga, use e abuse dos recursos citados na fase de bebê também para essa fase. Não se esqueça, compre camas de qualidade alta para seus filhos, assim eles precisarão dormir por menos tempo.

É possível ainda na infância fechar pelo menos 3 valores de caráter, sendo eles preferencialmente Controle Emocional, Resolução de Conflitos e Empatia.

Fase da Adolescência:

Se você não se embaralhou nas dicas durante todo o processo, agora só faltam Educação e Responsabilidade para seu filho aprender. Continue fazendo a lição de casa, colocando a mesa e limpando a casa que em mais 2 ou 3 dias você conseguir-a completar.

Mas vamos para a parte importante, e se você não conseguir ensinar Empatia, Resolução de Conflitos e Controle Emocional, o que fazer?

Continue a escrever no diário enquanto seu filho tem reações negativas, mas também escreva aleatoriamente no diário, isso com toda certeza subirá Controle Emocional rapidinho.

Nessa fase da vida, ensinar Empatia só será realmente eficaz se você mandar seu sim para trabalhos voluntários, faça isso de 3 a 4 vezes por dia nos finais de semana (Sábado e Domingo 4x cada) e acerte as respostas para ganhar um bônus.

A habilidade mais difícil de ensinar durante a fase da adolescência será Resolução de Conflitos, pois a linha entre fazer o certo e o errado será muito tênue. Recomendo que você use um dos pais para isso. Faça com que ele seja desrespeitoso, ensine carisma até o nível 4 para seu filho e fique praticando Desculpar-se ou Recuperação Suave, isso fará com que a habilidade suba a passos de tartaruga. Se você for rápido, recomendo que aconselhe seus filhos até que consiga subir essa habilidade, pois as outras serão mais fáceis de subir depois.

Sei que as dicas não são milagrosas e muita gente conhece, mas é sempre bom praticar.

Character values ​​begin in the baby phase and only end when your child becomes an adult. But where to start and what to use first? I will split the post into age groups to help.

Baby Stage:

A lot of people think that at this stage it is impossible to use anything for character values ​​since normally your sim is being taught as skills, but this is where you can deceive, there are skills that can be taught during this phase.

Recommended traits:

Tireless

Independent

Gooey

No doubt these are the best traits to character values. The first two episodes of the number of babies who suffer most often, that is, whenever that happens, your sim will need to talk "firmly" to him and ask him not to do more. By doing this a few times, you can start climbing Education. In the case of a complaint, it will not disobey much, but it does show children more often when you leave it alone in the code, and may even have a sad mood. In that case, he may have nervous children and you may scold yourself, rising as well as Emotional Control.

But what is really essential for your baby? For me, it is undoubtedly best to take the time off to use the baby and to apologize as the conflict resolution category is more serious. You can take advantage of the last day of your baby's life to apologize as much as you can. Remembering, using and abusing his Creation and Education skill, Give it an extra touch, do it or drink. Clean up on your own and Tell him to eat something, as you improve as energy bars, hygiene and hunger, giving you more free time to use. that.

Childhood Stage:

During childhood, you can use new ways to scale your character values, for those who want something a little easier and that allows you to scale education and responsibility to go to school, recommending this mod that is displayed with your sims who use it. many interactions in high school and thus be able to increase or decrease some character values: https://www.kawaiistaciemods.com/post/better-schools-mod

But if you prefer to do it without mods, follow the tips.

It is important that you use parental skills in parallel with the birth of your child, as this offers advantages in this process. My recommended childhood level is 8 in Creation and Education and I'll explain why.

The skills you should focus on rising in this phase are Conflict Resolution and Empathy. The fastest way to increase these skills is when your children ask for advice. Always try to choose or increase Conflict Resolution and Empathy, as long as the switch is Responsibility or Education, as these are the easiest skills to evolve.

Do not worry that your child is rude or irresponsible at first, as you only respond to advice until the Resolution and Empathy, which are still in childhood, because level 8 is essential, with you can see all the options available during advices.

To keep education at a relatively high level, I recommend it. Always put on the table, clean the plates and go out to introduce yourself to any foreigners you can. (You can also complete social breathing). If your sims still have time, please enter a favor and thanks.

For the sake of responsibility, you can do just a homework assignment, or work extra hard (after you get grade 8 at school) and ALWAYS do your school projects.

Whenever your child arrives stressed / sad / angry from school, has him write in his diary, this leaves a bonus and Emotional Control will rise much faster. Negative emotions can greatly improve this ability.

By doing all of this, your child achieved grade 10 in school in about 3 or 4 days, and may gain more responsibility by maintaining high grades. Remember, a Creation and Education skill is your friend, use and abuse the resources mentioned in the baby phase also in this phase. Remember, buy high quality beds for your children so they need less sleep.

It is possible even in childhood to close with less than 3 character values, preferably Emotional Control, Conflict Resolution and Empathy.

Adolescence Phase:

If you do not embark on the tips throughout the process, you now only need Education and Responsibility for your child to learn. Keep doing your homework, setting the table and cleaning the house that over 2 or 3 days you will be able to complete.

But let's go to an important part, and you can't get Empathy, Conflict Resolution and Emotional Control, or what to do?

Keep writing in the diary while your child has negatives, but also writing randomly in the diary is sure to come up with quickinho Emotional Control.

At this stage in life, teaching Empathy is really only effective if you send your sim to volunteer work, do it 3-4 times a day on weekends (Saturday and Sunday 4x each) and hit the answers to earn a bonus.

The most difficult skill to teach during adolescence will be Conflict Resolution, as the line between doing right and wrong will be very thin. I recommend that you use a parent for this. Make it disrespectful, teach your child up to level 4, and practice Apologizing or Soft Recovery, which will make the skill go up in turtle steps. If you are fast, I recommend that you advise your children until you can climb this skill, as the others will be easier to climb later.

I know the tips are not miraculous and many people know it, but it is always good to practice.

Funny thing about opinions and a certain orifice. Everyone has ‘em. But the better part of valor is keeping both to yourself.

Unfortunately, in the social media era, it has become all too easy for us to share the former. After all, it’s like open mic night down at the club, and it seems like practically everyone wants to take their turn.

Facebook in particular has had its hands full trying to monitor content, not just for basic things that violate their community standards, like suicide, threats of violence, and illegal activity, but also just plain BS claims that are not supported with facts.

We saw it during the election cycle, with Facebook removing content and even banishing some users who were repeat offenders. Now comes news they are blocking bogus posts regarding COVID, and all I can say is this: It’s about time! They should have been doing this a year ago before things spun out of control.

It is an unfortunate artifact of our society that we allowed a pandemic to become politicized, with some claiming (again, falsely) that the virus was a hoax and was actually part of the Democratic party strategy to win the election. Conspiracy theories were flying around like snowflakes in a Panhandle blizzard, along with nonsense home remedies and arguments that masks don’t work.

As I have said before, it is one thing to have an opinion. It is quite another to support it with facts, and not just one cherry-picked meme, search result, or YouTube video. Science is constantly evolving, and what we know today is different from what we knew yesterday. It is the aggregation of many studies that ultimately lead us to develop theories--and I mean “theory” in the scientific sense, not an “opinion” like everyone has--and these theories can then be used to make predictions.

Which naturally leads to a discussion, once again, about censorship. After the Super Bowl, Amarillo’s Newschannel 10 (CBS) ran a story in which I had commented the week prior about freedom of speech and social media. While I provided 10 minutes’ worth of juicy soundbites in the Zoom interview, they only used a few sentences. Basically, though, I said what I told the local ABC affiliate earlier this year: When you check that little Terms of Service box, you agree to play by their rules.

In other words, you just gave away your 1st Amendment rights.

No matter how strongly you believe that keeping your mouth and throat moist will protect you from COVID, no matter how many anecdotes you share about friends who wear masks yet still got the virus, no matter what you believe about the origin of the virus, you better be prepared now to see those posts removed. And for the good of everyone else, you may just be kicked off the platform forever.

Good for Facebook. Good for us all. Keep those unfounded opinions to yourself. Because if you don’t, you are being the orifice I mentioned earlier.

Trump Says He Didn’t Incite Capitol Riot, Several Arrests Made + Black Capitol Officer Named A HERO + Horned Trump Supporter Gets Organic Food In Jail After Refusing To Eat

Trump defends the remarks he made and claims he didn’t incite violence before a mob of his supporters violently stormed the U.S. Capitol last week. A black Capitol police officer is being praised for his fast thinking, proving to be the REAL hero of the attack. Plus, the horned Trump supporter who got inside the Capitol requested only organic food in jail…and he GOT IT. Everything inside….

As House Democrats unveil article of impeachment against Trump, the failed commander-in-chief is still…doing what Trump does. Spew lies and more lies.

Today, he traveled to Alamo, Texas to defend his immigration policy and to tour some of the US-Mexico border wall. It’s the first time he has spoken publicly since the video he posted during the #MAGA mob attack. According to reports, Trump isolated himself in the White House following the vicious riot that took the lives of five people, including one Capitol police officer.

Before boarding a plane for the trip, Trump told reporters at the White House that he was NOT to blame for the violent insurrection at the US Capitol last week. Hours before the attack, he literally instructed his fan base to storm the federal building, saying:

"We're going to have to fight much harder," Trump told supporters at a rally near the White House before the assault. "We are going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators, congressmen and women, and we are probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you will never take back our country with weakness."

However, Trump told reporters his remarks did NOT incite a riot and that his comments were "totally appropriate." Before boarding his plane, he told reporters at the White House:

President Trump speaks to media at White House: "We want no violence...on the impeachment, it's really a continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics...I think it's causing tremendous danger in to our country...I want no violence." pic.twitter.com/XjiIfLrrTS

  "We want no violence...on the impeachment, it's really a continuation of the greatest witch hunt in the history of politics...I think it's causing tremendous danger in to our country...I want no violence,” he said.

45 then addressed his possible impeachment:

"This impeachment is causing tremendous anger, and you're doing it and it's really a terrible thing that they're doing," he told reporters on the White House South Lawn. "For Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to continue on this path, I think it's causing tremendous danger to our country, and it's causing tremendous anger. I want no violence."

Peep the clip above.

Trump also addressed being banned from social media. He blamed “big tech” for dividing the country and said they’re making a terrible mistake because they’re contributing to more violence.

Q: "What is your role in what happened at the Capitol? What is your personal responsibility?"

President Trump: "If you read my speech...people thought that what I said was totally appropriate." pic.twitter.com/90Pdt8xFSz

— CSPAN (@cspan) January 12, 2021

  "I believe it's going to be a catastrophic mistake for them," he said. "They're dividing and divisive, and they're showing something that I've been predicting for a long time."

He also made sure to highlight the BLM protests that went down over the summer, but had no remarks for the people who participated in last week's attack. No surprise.

Peep the clip above.

Trump’s new remarks come one day before the House is set to impeach him – for the second time – for his role in inciting the violent attack.

A Black Capitol police officer is now being hailed as a HERO for his quick thinking during the attack.

Thank you, Officer Eugene Goodman.

Officer Eugene Goodman was alone when a group of Trump supporters confronted him. Clearly outnumbered. However, he held back the domestic terrorists long enough for Senators to escape as rioters were closing in on the Senate Chamber. He single-handedly saved the Republic.

Watch below:

Eugene Goodman deserves the Medal of Valor! He could have stepped aside and let Trump insurgents get to the Senate chamber while Senators were still there. Instead, this heroic officer got them to follow him the other direction, giving lawmakers time to escape! pic.twitter.com/BFeK3ZBktN

Now, folks are calling on President-elect Joe Biden should award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Hey @JoeBiden This is Eugene Goodman! He risked his own life to protect members of Congress including the Vice President during the storming of the capital building.

He deserves the Presidential Medal Of Freedom!

Officer Goodman totally deserves this honor!

Following the insurrection, The U.S. Attorney's Office arrested Jacob Anthony Chansley (aka "Jake Angeli" or "QAnon Shaman"). He was the most recognizable terrorist in the group as he was seen in viral photos dressed in horns, a bearskin headdress, with red, white and blue face paint. The Phoenix resident turned himself into the FBI field office after returning from Washington, D.C. over the weekend. He's being accused of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

The failed actor who lives with his mom appeared before court yesterday, attending the hearing via phone from the detention facility where he is being held.

So check it. Jake Angeli's court-appointed attorney told the judge that his client hasn't been able to eat since he turned himself in Saturday because he has a restricted diet. Apparently, he follows a strict organic diet. So, what are they going to do?

UPDATE: Jacob Chansley (AKA Jake Angeli or QAnon Shaman) will be fed organic food, in line with his strict shaman diet, while in federal custody. "We will abide by the judge's order," U.S. Marshal David Gonzales said. @abc15 https://t.co/k6mxwQeofM

— Melissa Blasius (@MelissaBlasius) January 12, 2021

They're going to give him exactly what he asked for: organic food IN JAIL. Jake, by the way, is a failed actor who lives with his mother.  Say less, right?

The Associated Press reports:

"We will abide by the judge's order," David Gonzales, U.S. Marshal for the District of Arizona, told ABC15 Monday evening. Gonzales added that Chansley will be provided food in line with a shaman's strict organic diet.

Chansley’s mother, Martha, was in the courtroom Monday. Afterward, she explained his diet. "He gets very sick if he doesn't eat organic food - literally will get physically sick,“ Martha Chansley said.

We wonder how many BLACK inmates who follow an organic diet are actually receiving "organic food." This is AmeriKKKa.

As for the arrests...

We've given you info on some key rioters who have already been arrested and charged.

Richard Barnett, of Arkansas, was charged with “knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful entry; violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds; and theft of public money, property, or records. Barnett allegedly entered a restricted are of the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.”

Inside The U.S. Capitol Riot - The Saddest Day For Modern Democracy

SO-CALLED “WAR HERO” JOHN KERRY A FRAUD – SELF-PROCLAIMED “WARRIOR” STRONGLY OPPOSED BY “NAM” VETS HE SMEARED DURING HIS  CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY – NEW  EVIDENCE KERRY LIED ABOUT FIRST  PURPLE HEART “WOUND” – VAST  MAJORITY OF VIETNAM VETS – BOTH  DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN – TO  VOTE AGAINST JANE FONDA’S “PAL”KERRY, A MAN WITHOUT HONOR, UNFIT TO BE “COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF”

Never in the history of American politics has this country’s military veterans been so united in their opposition to a particular Presidential candidate.

The disgraceful actions of self-proclaimed “war hero” John F. Kerry have so incensed legitimate Vietnam veterans, that most of them – both Democrat and Republican – plan to vote against the left-wing Massachusetts Democrat on Nov. 2nd.

“I would crawl over broken glass to pay him back for what he did to us,” said Vietnam vet Felim Doherty, a registered Democrat in Bloomfield, N.J.

The former Air Force NCO said Kerry’s testimony before Congress back in 1971 was “full of lies and slander” against the vast majority of Americans who served in Vietnam with honor and integrity.

“For him to try and make out we were killing babies, raping women, cutting off ears and – in his words – rampaging every day through the Vietnamese countryside like the hordes of Genghis Khan – was and is a smear and slander of my brother Vietnam veterans.

“This self-proclaimed war hero doesn’t talk much about his days running around with Jane Fonda, giving aid and comfort to our enemies. I wonder why?”

Retired Capt. Danny Howell of Florida, a Republican and Marine staff sergeant during his hitch in Vietnam, praises the Swiftboat Vets for their exposure of Kerry’s dubious “combat” record.

“Only 120 days in-country and he puts himself in for a Purple Heart for scratches we wouldn’t bother to report to the corpsman. This guy was punching his ticket and used a loophole [three Purple Heart wounds and you got to leave Vietnam before your required 12 month tour of duty was up] in the regulations to get out early. What a disgrace!

“I saw Marines with serious wounds - arms shattered, their guts hanging out, an eye gone, sucking chest wounds – that is what the Purple Heart is meant for, not for a grain of rice hitting you in your butt!”

KERRY CAUGHT IN ONE OF HIS OWN LIES

A lot of controversy surrounds Kerry’s first Purple Heart “wound.”

In Kerry’s authorized biography, “Tour of Duty,” written by adoring flack and campaign shill Douglas Brinkley, the author writes the following:

“They [Kerry and his crew in their Navy swift boat] pulled away from the pier at Cat Lo with spirits high, feeling satisfied with the way things were going for them. They had no lust for battle, but they also were not afraid. Kerry wrote in his notebook, ‘A cocky feeling of invincibility accompanied us up the Long Tau shipping channel because we hadn’t been shot at yet, and Americans at war who haven’t been shot at are allowed to be cocky.’”

Please note the date this journal entry was made - when “Kerry had just turned 25, on Dec. 11, 1968,” Brinkley wrote. That was nine days after Kerry falsely claimed to have been “wounded” during a firefight with the enemy.

According to military regulations, the only time a Purple Heart can be awarded is when the recipient has been engaged in combat with a hostile force. Inadvertent “wounds” that are self-inflicted, don’t count.

The Swift Boat Vets revealed Kerry didn’t deserve the first of three Purple Heart medals he got because his “injury” was from a tiny fragment of shrapnel that resulted from him firing an M-79 grenade launcher against the nearby shore from the deck of his boat.

KERRY’S C.O. DISPUTES VALIDITY OF FIRST “WOUND”

Grant Hibbard of Gulf Breeze, Fla., a retired Navy officer, told MilitaryCorruption.com he was the commanding officer to whom Kerry reported his “battle wound” on Dec. 3, 1968.

“I had confirmed that there was no hostile fire that night and that Kerry had simply wounded himself with an M-79 grenade round he fired too close. He wanted a Purple Heart, and I refused.”

The former Navy commander said Louis Letson, the base physician, saw Kerry and used tweezers to remove a tiny piece of shrapnel – about 1 centimeter in length and 2 millimeters in diameter – from the lieutenant j.g.’s (junior grade) forearm.

“Letson confirmed that the scratch had been self-inflicted when Kerry clumsily used the M-79.”

It’s been more than 35 years since the incident, but Hibbard still recalls Kerry’s actions with disgust.

“It is unacceptable to nominate yourself for a combat award. It compromises the basic military principle that we survive together.. To promote yourself is to denigrate your team . . . Kerry orchestrated his way out of Vietnam [in four months – a third of the required tour of duty] and then testified, under oath, before Congress that we, his comrades, had committed horrible war crimes..

“This testimony was a lie and slandered honorable men. We, who were actually there, believe he is unfit to command our sons and daughters.”

WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS THIS?

When Kerry was caught in a much-repeated lie about how it was “seared” in his memory that he spent Christmas (1968) on his swift boat upstream in Cambodia – maybe he dreamed that fantasy up after watching Martin Sheen perform derring-do in the movie“Apocalypse Now” – campaign handlers tried to explain it away by saying their guy must have been “mistaken” – it was January 1969 when the self-proclaimed “warrior” was on a secret mission in a place no U.S. Navy craft were authorized to be.

You see, Kerry said many times that the terrible, evil Richard Nixon (BOO!), had ordered him on his “secret missions” into Cambodian waterways. Trouble was, in December 1968. Lyndon Johnson was still the President of the United States. Nixon wasn’t to be inaugurated until January 20, 1969.

There were other problems too. Kerry claimed to have come under fire by the Cambodian Khmer Rouge, the rebel Communists. That was a neat trick, as leader Kieu Samphan didn’t organize the Khmer Rouge until 1970!

Anyone who knows how much noise the swift boats made chugging up the Mekong or Bassac Rivers, would realize any Kerry tall tales of clandestinely inserting CIA agents or forward recon teams into Cambodia was yet another lie.

What manner of man is this, who would have us elect him commander-in-chief of the armed forces, when he fabricates and falsifies his own “heroics?” As well as his military records?

LIES AND MORE LIES FROM “WAR HERO” KERRY

In earlier articles on this web site we have revealed the specious Silver Star (with “V” device) that Kerry allegedly won. First of all, there is no such decoration in any of the five branches of the U.S. Military.

The Silver Star does not have a “V” device (for valor) like the Bronze Star does. Yet that award is listed on the DD214 that Kerry was supposed to review and sign for accuracy. That it was displayed on his campaign web site indicates he should have, if he didn’t already, know such a listing was false and inaccurate.

Yet, the curious Kerry documents contain even more signs of falsification and fraud.

Kerry credits himself with earning four battle stars attached to his Vietnam Service Medal. Every Nam vet knows those battle stars denote various “campaigns” the recipient had to have participated in to be able to legally wear them.

Since Kerry was in Vietnam only 120 days, it would be impossible for him to have accumulated so many of the stars due to lack of time, but, what the heck! Maybe the Massachusetts senator thought “four battle stars” sounds and looks better than two.

“Yeah, that’s the ticket,” Kerry perhaps said to himself. “I’ll award myself more ‘fruit salad’ than I’m authorized, in order to fool the voters into thinking I’m a cross between Audie Murphy and General George Patton. That’ll impress ‘em. They won’t know the difference.”

Well, the many thousands of honorable Vietnam veterans Kerry smeared and slandered in his self-serving and much discredited testimony before Congress “know the difference.” And as a result, we have exposed him for what he is – a fraud.

And speaking of FRAUD, the Kerry campaign has yet to explain how the signature of former Secretary of the Navy John Lehman turns up on Kerry’s award citation for the Silver Star.

That decoration was allegedly won in 1968, many years prior to Lehman taking office in the Reagan Administration!

It is a serious crime for anyone to falsify an official military record or document – such as the forms displayed as “proof” of Kerry’s heroics on his campaign web site.

Why hasn’t the mainstream media, led by Bush-basher Dan Blather of CBS, demanded an explanation? The answer is obvious. They want any Democrat to defeat any Republican – well, maybe not any “Republican,” they still worship at the feet of Sen. John McCain. Back in 1992, some 89% of the news media polled admitted they voted for Bill Clinton. Is there any reason to think that number has lessened in recent years?

WHY NOT RELEASE ALL YOUR RECORDS, SENATOR?

What has Kerry got to hide? Why has he stubbornly refused to release all of his Navy medical records, including those that detail just what kind of “wounds” the “war hero” allegedly suffered? Could it be that he doesn’t want that kind of scrutiny?

While the friendly media can be counted on to “look the other way,” Kerry knows full well FOX NEWS CHANNEL and Internet bloggers will not give him a “free pass.”

We, the Vietnam vets at MilitaryCorruption.com, call upon Kerry to sign the SF 180 Form he has so far refused to do. Let’s see what he’s been trying to conceal all these years.

If the self-righteous senator can demand every piece of paper in Bush’s National Guard file be made public, then the Massachusetts Democrat should be held to the same standard himself.

DO WE WANT A LIAR FOR PRESIDENT?

Political partisans say we already have one in Bush. Maybe so. But do we want to switch leaders in the middle of a war with our national security at stake when the man who covets the throne has already proven to be deceitful about his much-advertised military war record?

We have had many disputes with the present Administration. We’ve called upon Bush to fire the egomaniacal Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. We have blasted Vice President Dick “Halliburton” Cheney. We have been disgusted by the Bush Administration’s hardball tactics in trying to keep in place the unfair and unjust Concurrent Receipt Law, under which disabled veterans have to forfeit (dollar-for-dollar) money from our retirement pensions if we also draw VA disability pay for injuries or illnesses incurred as a result of military service.

This web site does NOT endorse either candidate for President. We urge all our brother Vietnam veterans and fellow Americans to use your conscience and ask God for guidance when you cast your vote November 2. But we appeal to you, DON’T cast a vote for the phony, fake and fraud John Kerry. He is unworthy of your support.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: To the “crazies” and foaming-at-the-mouth Bush-haters that have sent us venomous communications in the past. Don’t bother. We have no time to waste on you, the Kerry Kool-Aide Brigade. Your minds aren’t made up, they are slammed shut! You are in deep denial. There is no reasoning with you. So just drink the punch and cry into your beer when “war hero” Kerry gets a well-deserved beating on election day.)

Fictober 2019: Day 2

Fandom: Pokemon / Detective Pikachu

Rating: Teen and up (For language)

Trigger Warning: Mention of injuries (nothing graphic)

Fanfiction

Characters: Tim Goodman, Harry Goodman, Cubone, Pikachu, OC’s Alison Angeles and Bernie

A/N: These snippets follow after the events of a fanfic I finished called Heart of Gold that can be read in full on AO3 here

______________________

Some nights all Alison was up for was sitting on the couch with a League match on tv and reading, this was one of those nights. He’d read the book three times now and there was no need to read it a fourth time but her notes were...so insanely accurate. And funny.

Em curled up between her feet, snoring, as the rain pattered on the window and a rerun of last weekend’s Indigo League match flashed on the tv.

“You’ve been on that page forever.” Always perceptive. “Just ask.” Carefully untangling herself from the blanket, making sure not to wake Emolga, she wrapped her arms around his neck, nuzzling in and not so secretly reading the page he was on. “Seriously?”

“What happened?”

“Your father happened.”

“But what happened?”

Trying to distract him with a peck, slyly turning into a little nibble on his ear, he would not be deterred. “Fine. Have you ever followed him?”

“Yes.”

“Did you get arrested?” Oh. “Ass kicked?” Yeah. “Almost killed?” His silence spoke volumes. “Yeah. Thought so.”

“But I kind of want to hear the story about this one.”

“Of course you do.” Before she could let out another annoyed sigh, Tim spun her around to land on her lap in a fit of giggles. “Fine, fine. It actually started with Bernie.”

“Really?”

________________________________________________________

“Bernie!’ Cu threw the light debris everywhere. The front desk had been demolished. All the furniture sat in ruins but none of those had blood pooling underneath. Alison had a flashlight out, reaching under what had once been a counter. “Bernie, are you there? Can you hear me?”

A weak groan was the only response she got before a flurry of, “Cu! Cubone!”

“The ambulance will be here soon.” Harry careened through the place the door should have been.

“Where’s the fire?”

“We put out the fire.” Moving Cu to the side, “Help me get the counter off.”

On the count of three they hauled the counter several feet away, a new cloud of dust and debris making them cough and sputter.

“What happened?” Harry stripped off his hoodie, pressing it to Bernie’s bleeding shoulder.

“Team Flare happened!” Testing the rubble, Cu smashed the broken pieces of counter further. “Someone decided not to treat one of the ‘mons! I told you what would happen!”

“I don’t treat Teams.” Great time to get all high and mighty.

“And this is what happens!”

“Ok, enough!” Harry had reserved the hard stare for her, not Bernie, which was completely unfair. “The ambulance is on it’s way!”

“Who was it?” But she shrugged at him. “Who? I know you know.”

“Yeah, maybe.” Harry was pressing her, really? Just after she’d left Team Skull. Really? “Mr. G.”

“Alison Angeles.”

“Still sounds weird.”

“Who?”

This was a bad idea. Like, absolutely terrible. “Do you know who Xerxes is?” __________________________________________________

After Bernie was safely aboard the ambulance and on the way to the hospital did Harry return to their conversation.

“Xerxes?” Rarely did Bernie cause a stir, but when he did...wow. Like every transgression she ever got Harry involved in did not amount to this.

“Witness protection, new identity. Like the only way.”

“Cu!”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go.”

“You are not seriously walking up to the psycho who thinks he is the flower child of freaking Xerosic and trying to finance his absolutely asinine little science projects!”

“Which science project would that be?” Damn. He was fishing. And then...then he said those fucking words. “Just follow me, I know where I’m going.”

“Do you know what you’re doing?” Because she had a knife and Cu and he had his Pikachu and some sort of twisted type of valor that was going to get them killed.

“Of course.”

__________________________________________________

Harry Goodman, did not know what he was doing. There was no plan. Because if he did have one, if he seriously knew what he was doing, nothing would have ended up like it did.

Both of them stared sadly at the crumbling facade of a former warehouse. For such a young and new city this building looked like it had been here for centuries.

“Someone did not get the memo if they want to join Team Flare.” Harry even laughed at his own joke. “Not nearly enough flare for Team Flare.”

“I’m not going in there.” Rarely did she respond to his jokes anymore.

“Yes, you are.”

“No, I’m not.”

“You’re my backup!”

“I’m 17! You brought a teenager as backup?”

“Why did you follow me?”

“Morbid curiosity about how you are going to die.” The truth hurts.

“You’re going in.”

“Only to see how you...” Harry started toward the front door, like an idiot. “Oh, not that way.” Alison stuck a finger in the air, not the one she usually reserved for Mr. I’m-so-smart-I’m-going-to-run-in-and-get-myself-killed Goodman.

“The roof.”

“Cu and I will watch from the vents.”

__________________________________________________

He did it. That stupid son of a bitch walked right in the front door and right up to Xerxes. Faded red suits of a few former grunts for Team Flare circled him as they’d discussed new genetic modifications to test. Unlike city ordinances, there were plenty of pokeballs around the makeshift lab. Their crawling through the vents meant her and Cu had missed his grand entrance.

“I’m sorry, who are you again?”

“That’s not exactly important.” Harry’s ad lib hurt, physically hurt her. Pikachu even seemed unsettled because he knew he was going to end up having to fight his way out of this. “What is important is what I can do for you if you leave the medic alone.”

“Medic?” Xerxes consulted his grunts. “What medic?”

“Sir, the one who would not treat the Larvesta you liberated from Team Rocket.”

“Ah, yes. Did we dispose of that useless man?”

“We tried.”

“Tried is not succeeding. Dad will not approve.” “Have you talked with Xerosic recently? I mean....you are his son, right?” Dangerous slope he’d started on. Was this even considered a plan? Xerxes, though, was at a loss. “Call off your next attack on my associate and I can get you in contact with dear old dad.”

While Xerxes pondered this concept, Cu heard something scuttling toward them. Clang. Clang. Clang. As it got closer Alison knocked a vent cover off. There were lots of legs traveling fast towards her and she was not battling in a vent.

“What have we here?” Xerxes drawled.

Slipping a knife out of her pocket, Alison tumbled out of the vent just as Spinark shot her and Cu with a web, slinging them to the vent. Upside down, Alison glared at Harry not to say it.

“Great backup you are.”

Oh! She’d get him back!

“Cubone!” Several grunts shouted and the room filled with light as partners were released from their balls. Houndour, Kriketune, and the likely cause of the fire at Bernie’s clinic, Magmar.

“You’re famous.” Harry groaned.

Wriggling as much as she could, Alison tried to cut through the Spinark web, knowing full well that it would be impervious. The motion, though, made her and Cu swing a bit and look more flustered than she was until the vent above them started to cave.

“So, you caused my grunts all that trouble.”

“Shouldn’t have messed with my friend.”

“Cubone!” He helped her swing, hoping that they could snap the web over something to cushion their landing.

That was when Harry enacted his plan, because there had been one. The shell of one. Pikachu’s electricity circled him in a frenzied arc, building and sparking.

“Do it, don’t hesitate.” Which if Harry was saying that meant he already had been hesitating. The Thunderbolt struck the vent toppling Alison and Cu right to the floor behind Xerxes. Pikachu rammed himself into the ‘head’ of Team Flare, knocking him and all his greater than she’d expected weight on top of Alison.

“Aaargh!” Her arm snapped like a twig over a corner of the fallen vent.

Xerxes, however, kicked with all his might, even trying to stand while stuck to the Spinark web.

“That was your plan?” She yelled at Harry through the pain. “That’s barely a plan!”

__________________________________________________

“Wait, what happened?”

“Your dad had called the Lieutenant and kept him on muted speaker phone during the whole thing.”

“What happened to you?”

Alison twisted her arm around, a nasty surgical incision scar, far different than her other cuts and stabbings that had scarred over. “Compound fracture. I went to the academy in a cast after surgery to have pins and a plate put in.”

Pikachu dashed in, shaking off the rain. When Harry hung up his coat Tim shook his head vehemently, “How could you!”

“What did I do?”

“You gave her a compound fracture to get a guy from Team Flare arrested?”

Harry looked just like a Magikarp gasping for air, “That was six years ago!”

“You need to buy her ice cream.”

“I agree. You need to buy me ice cream.”

“I just got home! Pikachu doesn’t want to go back out in the rain.”

“No one said Pikachu was going anywhere.” She’d already wrapped him in a blanket.

Harry gaped at them but they just glared back. “That was six...years...fine.”

I was tagged by @lesliethebestie

rules: answer the questions in a new post and tag blogs you would like to get to know better.

nickname(s): Nate. Also the occasional “Nathaniel”, because some people think “Nathan” is always short for “Nathaniel” when that isn’t the case

starsign: hardcore Taurus

height: 6′1″

last thing I googled: Linear A. It’s the form of writing used by the ancient Minoans, and it hasn’t been deciphered to this day! I googled it because I was doing homework, and the chapter I’m in in my history textbook is about the dawn of agriculture, and briefly mentions the beginnings of Ancient Greece. In-depth Greek stuff is down the road, though.

fave music artist: I’ve been digging the Faroese metal band Tyr lately. They’re like Metallica but Norse. Pretty cool dudes. The vocalist supports whaling though, so ya kinda need to take ‘em with an Atlantic of salt.

song stuck in my head: God of War

last movie I watched: Blade Runner, with my big sis @pansexual-princess! Great movie! If you intend to watch it, though tw for sexual assault, gore, and aichmophobia.

last tv show I watched: Star Trek: The Next Generation, also during my visit yesterday. I love that show, and even though I’ve seen all the episodes, it’s the kind of show you have to see again and again.

when did you create your blog: back in 2011 I believe. Admittedly, I purged a few years of my posts like, last year at some point, or the year before that, out of embarrassment. I was a rather obnoxious Homestuck blogger. Now, well, I don’t have anything against Homestuck or its fans, and it was definitely an entertaining webcomic, but it’s still going and I honestly don’t have the patience to continue with it. At least not right now.

what kind of stuff do I post: memes, SJ, politics (far-left, particularly anarchist), cats, a ton of text posts about my thoughts (maybe some of which I shouldn’t post but oh well), whatever I like

do I have any other blogs: 

@swordofyggverd. Since a lot of my main blog’s followers are Atheist, Christian, Jewish, or otherwise non-pagan, I have a separate blog for my religious content. I’m a Heathen, but I intend to branch my practice out to other pantheons in due time, assuming other gods will give me the time of day. :P

@the-arch-conservative. I took the URL so no reactionaries could. I haven’t posted on it in months. The URL is a parody, because all that was really going to be posted were pictures of arches, with rants about how no one uses arches anymore, so they must be saved/conserved. A rather trivial pun, but I like being a pedantic ass to fascist filth.

@anarcho-tarkinism This one is also rather niche, and also rather unused. What it was going to be is communist or semi-communist quotes written as if Grand Moff Tarkin said them, himself. I never got that into making the posts after making the few on the blog, and, um, the other mod, uh... the other mod and I had a, um, falling out of sorts. Yeah.

do I get asks regularly: Not exactly, but within the past week or two I’ve got more from my followers, and I really appreciate that!

why did I choose my url: Because I snuggle cats and oh my goodness, this is the best URL ever and I’m so glad and so lucky to snag this one before anyone else did, I love it. I should probably post more cats sometime, because that would be pretty fitting. It’s just, well, you’ve probably seen my posts, how depressed I’ve gotten sometimes... but cats would help, wouldn’t they? I’ll post more cats sometime.

gender: male

Hogwarts house: Gryffindor, according to this test?

Pokemon team: Looks like I’m Valor

favorite colour: red and black

average hours of sleep: 7 if I’m lucky. I wish I could sleep more.

lucky number: 5 and 6, because of my birthday (5/5) and my name (a 666 name)

favourite characters: Ron Weasley, all the Star Trek: TNG characters (especially Guinan and Picard), Mikado (Durarara!!), Jaune Arc (RWBY), Aragorn (LOTR)

how many blankets do I sleep with: One. Even so, my room’s too hot, so I have to sleep shirtless. I can’t just wear a shirt and put the blanket only over my legs, though; it doesn’t work like that.

dream job: Still figuring that out. For now, I’ve considered being a historian, librarian, or a chemist of some sort, but which one of those I want to be is uncertain. I also considered being a child therapist a few months ago, but I’m not sure if that would actually be the right job for me. Heck, maybe I could be a writer. I should actually write the stories I intended to write since 2015 sometime, so I can see if I actually stand a chance at that!

following: Haha, um, would you believe it’s at 851?

NSFW #2.5: Zombie Flesh Eaters

It was always astonishing how small the world really seemed from this high up. NSFW would be landing in Medellin in an hour or so. They had left their home base after only a sparse couple days in Pittsburgh. They could have made a straight shot right from Cusco to Medellin- it would have meant less time airborne and more sightseeing- but they had an important appointment that couldn’t be delayed. So home they’d gone, and in their brief time there they hadn’t simply dealt with what was necessary, they’d spoken at length of things they wanted to see and do while in Colombia. However, at the end of the day, it all cycled back to what they were going there for in the first place. The ascent back up to the top- perhaps less literal than the ascent they’d taken together back in Peru, the grand pinnacle being the city full of the ghosts of a long-passed civilization, but no less strenuous. To prove to smirking, haughty Cross Reboca and his vicious, desperate partner that they weren’t going away, that they would be breathing down their necks as long as they held the Chimeras. Of course, that meant clearing away any obstacles in their path. The obstacle now, strangely enough, was the team that they first thought they would be chasing upon their imminent arrival to Valor Pro. Things had changed rather quickly. Now, with Cuba below them, its buildings in miniature from this altitude, Mike found themselves musing about the peculiar pair, representatives of an even more peculiar group. Giving a glance to their partner, who seemed enthralled by the view of the world from above, Mike looked to their phone, raising an eyebrow at the camera. “To be honest, I don’t really get it. I mean I wanna get it. I want to like you guys. You seem cool, and your mission statement is on point. I mean, after spending the last couple shows fighting against the fuckin’ paragons of self-serving bullshit, a team whose mission statement is to improve the world around them is a goddamn breath of fresh air.” Tucking their hands behind their head, Mike glanced past their partner out the window, shrugging. Their Mets cap was turned to the side, the brim tilted in an almost jaunty manner over their left ear. They and their partner were both clad in jean shorts and sneakers, as well as tank tops to beat the heat wave that’d been gripping Pittsburgh when they left it- Mike’s a plain white ribbed Fruit of the Loom number, John’s a heather grey with deliberately faded text reading ‘Property of Pittsburgh Penguins Hockey Club’, likely a gift from the redhead at his side. “And it ain’t like we don’t got shit in common. For one, we both got screwed worse than the recipient of the world’s biggest gangbang by ReKota- you got screwed out of the Chimeras, and we got screwed out of obtaining them, because actually playing fair and winning by your own goddamn mettle seems to be a foreign fucking concept to them. They don’t care as much as we do. You two. Me and Church. Those belts mean more to people like us than they do to a rich boy and his spoiled bitch. In all of this, Zombie Vice Squad and NSFW agree.” Their lips twitched as if in thought, and then pursed into a thin line. Their eyes narrowed to match. “But then I really start to think about your methods. It sounds nice on paper, yeah? We’re here to make the world a better place. We’re here to bring everyone up to our standards. And this is where you guys stop sounding magnanimous and start sounding fucking authoritarian.” John listened intently. He began to speak and his tone was just audible enough for the camera to pick it up. His fingers touched the window lightly.   “Mike. Kowloon, Siberia, they’re as legitimate as tag teams come. Inaugural champions. Impressive pedigree,” maybe perhaps dismissively, he waived that off, “that won’t matter. It never does. Ours didn’t matter. What mattered is one malicious act and three seconds later and our claim to the throne evaporated. But nowadays, you tune in and it's an alphabet soup of irrelevance. Spending precious time talking about anything but Valor Pro. Our little piece of this sport has been overtaken by complaining, petty vengeance, legal proceedings, and the melodrama of who created who.” His shoulders shrugged, eyes still towards the glass. The camera was angled so by Mike that it caught John’s reflection in the window anyway. “Getting away from what matters. Tag team wrestling.” “That’s what it’s all about. That’s all it should be about. If you have some kind of bigger agenda it should be secondary or you’re never gonna win. Not because you ain’t talented. I mean, Kowloon seems to make a point that he worships the Gods of Swole at the Temple of Iron. Dude, you might be cut like a gemstone but that ain’t gonna make a lick of difference. That conditioned body of yours might look nicer than mine…” Mike looked over their bare arms, their toned musculature going taut as they tighten their fists, but the scars of assorted shapes, lengths, and ages standing out even more against their skin. If they were self conscious about them, they were doing their damnedest not to show it. “...but that just means it’ll make a prettier picture when I lay you out flat. Again, I ain’t saying this outta fuckin’ disrespect. I’m sayin’ it cuz that’s what’s going to happen. Of course, you probably think the same damn thing. You’re a lot like me, Kowloon- a two fisted fighter with a temper on you. Which is real interesting, especially when you think about your partner. Siberia, as cool a customer as my partner. It’s almost like you two are some weird alternate universe version of us.” They smirked a little. “In another circumstance? It’d be cool to get to know you better. You two… probably all four of you… sound like you’ve been through fresh fucking hell. You smell like smoke cuz you’ve walked through fire. We can relate. We saw what you said about us before- you were smart enough to see through Berlin and Brenna’s bullcrap and we like that too. We could almost be friends, or at least allies. Least… till we start falling short of whatever gold standard you’ve set for humanity in fuckin’ general.” “We aren’t those two. Whatever they have outside of all of this clearly did not translate well as a tag team.” A slight curve of his lips appeared in the reflection. A tiny bit of him felt the development was serendipity as Brenna’s biting words had been silenced in such a casual fashion. But most of all, he felt the act was cruel. “And who would doubt the tenacity of the inaugural Chimera Tag Team Champions? In one form or another, the Zombie Clan buzzsawed their way through a myriad of now imploded, temporary, and dearly departed teams to secure that honor. But we aren’t them either.” “You may come kinda close, but the fact remains- there ain’t no one like us but us. Where others falter and fall back, we stand tall. We’ve seen teams come and go- hopefully the ones here’ll have a bit more fuckin’ longevity than the ones from where we left. We call things as we see ‘em, and never mince words or shy away from calling people out where it’s warranted. But Church and me, we would never be so fuckin’ self important, so dismissive of peoples’ fuckin’ free will, that we would go about whooping the tar ouf of people who didn’t live the way we thought they should.” Mike’s jaw set, eyes flashing a bit. There’s a slight quaver in their voice- not from lack of constitution, but from trying to keep their voice at an airplane-appropriate volume. “People are gonna do stupid shit. Stuff that’s maybe not that great for them. Or the people around them. They’re gonna… I dunno. Snort a line of coke off the giant yet perky titties of a military themed stripper named Major Gunns while totally blasted off Jaeger Bombs at the Pink Cannonballs in Orlando, Florida. Is that a good course of action? Probably fucking not. Do they deserve to get their teeth kicked in until they course correct? Fuck. No. Learning from bad life experiences is part of being fucking human. If everybody behaved themselves like good little drones under threat of beratement or beatings, it’d be under duress and nobody would ever learn a fucking thing.” For a moment, John turned to Mike, giving them a curious eyebrow raise to this oddly specific tale. He had a question on the tip of his tongue but with the camera on, he felt it better to barrel on through. “So spare us the moralizing. The Zombie Clan has aspirations to spread itself far and wide. And as of now, things seem to be working.  And while we respect those aforementioned accomplishments, Mike and I find it interesting that there seemed to be little resistance to when those championships were stolen from the Clan. Seemingly content with moving on to other matters. As vague and mysterious as those are, it seems a bit strange that Zombie Vice Squad rides again after we walked into this company … stepping over them.” Mike tisked, shaking their head. “And you could say that wasn’t your fuckin’ fault and I’d believe it. We know what happened and we already touched on it. That wasn’t a gaffe on you guys’ part, that was you getting screwed. But you know what WAS a gaffe on you guys’ part? Kowloon kapowing Siberia’s cute blue-haired butt right out of the ring during the Rite of Kings battle royal. Now, accidents happen, fuck knows. Kowloon, you seemed pretty fuckin’ distraught about it. But one’s gotta wonder…” They tapped their temple, a cheshire cat-like grin playing over their features. “...how does Miss Siberia feel about that? I wouldn’t blame her for being a tad bit fuckin’ miffed at you.” “We aren’t trying to create any dissension,” John’s smile was wry, “Trust us on that. Maybe that’s all been ironed out. Understand that we aren’t here to play for other prizes. There is only one that matters.” “No split vision here. My partner doesn’t have his sights on the Apex- let Callum and Cross and Cooper squabble about that shit. I don’t have my sights on the Unleashed Title- though honestly I’d love to fucking fight Aoki just to see how I do. The Chimeras are all we want. They’re worth being all we want. Those beautiful babies deserve better than to be someone’s second choice.” “They deserve better than to be held by a team that can’t go one week without bickering for the most inane reasons.” John’s thoughts went towards their defeat and despite the measure of comeuppance served to one Dakota Jennings, both of them were still empty handed. “But our claim to those championships has expired and we need to earn that chance all over again. Can’t think of a better way to make our case, Mike.” “Just call us a couple of zombie hunters. We know exactly what we need to do.” There’s that shark grin. Mike leaned into the shot, their devilish look filling up nearly the entire picture. “Look out for the teeth and aim for the fucking head.” The shot lingered on that grin another moment before the picture clicked off.

Why you should choose your personal trainer carefully ...

Why you should choose your personal trainer carefully ...

Dear Reader,

Was at the park today, and I saw a personal trainer training a couple of folks out there – a guy that I had seen last week too, I believe.

The trainer himself was one of those big, beefy sorts that looked like he spent quite a lot of time working his arms and chest – – but as is the norm with a lot of gym goers, pretty much nothing on the upper back and legs.

While he didn’t quite have the “pelican leg” syndrome, his legs were nowhere near the size or shape they should be in – and he had the hint (more, actually) of a beer belly poking out under his shirt.

All good considering he was doing a lot of things RIGHT in terms of training the guy and a young lady training with him.

For starters, there was no nonsensical gym equipment. It was bodyweight training, and although it could be done better – FAR better – for FAR better results, at least it was a start.

There was no nonsensical preening and posing either. I remember a gym I visited once in China (termed “Muscle Beach Gym”) and there was a female trainer literally “massaging” her client – – not AFTER a workout – – but while she was doing overhead presses (seated, at that) with little pink dumbells.

I got more than a few cold stares when I guffawed loudly as well as a snide “we don’t want Crossfitters here”.

And my response?

“Cross fit sucks. I can do things with my body that neither you or the vast bulk of Crossfitters can”, I said, while looking the meathead straight in the eye, and after giving me the “up and down” once, he figured “discretion was the better part of valor” in terms of this particular argument.

Hey – don’t doubt it – I’d put him on the pull-up bar with me on a jiffy and prove it too! Hehe …

But anyway, back to the trainer at the park.

Normally, this dude doesn’t have the couple do any pulling exercises whatsoever. He has them do modified burpees as well as a light jog in the park, and some light rope jumping along with a few stretches, and that’s that.

A slow ass 45 minute workout that our 0 Excuses Fitness brethren wouldn’t even break a sweat doing.

And judging by the looks of the couple, it wasn’t doing much in terms of either fat loss or increase in strength / stamina.

After the instructor (and the couple) saw me pounding out pull-ups and doing monkey bar work by their side, they decided to incorporate it too into their routine.

Gal was asked to try the monkey bar swings, and she gave up without even trying. Trainer wouldn’t even goad her into trying to do it. All he did was smile and say OK …

Guy jumps up, and furiously flails about on the bars before a) gripping it incorrectly and b) kicking so much with his legs that I was wondering if he was in an elementary TaeKWondo class or doing monkey bar work.

Probably the former in his mind!

And sad part is, the trainer himself probably had NO inkling of the fact that he was gripping it incorrectly – or that he shouldn’t be kicking around. He did mention something about his “turn not being correct”, but thats about it.

In Gorilla Grip, and Pull-ups – – from DUD to STUD within a matter of weeks – – I go into both these issues as well as more issues that personal trainers for the most part do not address, and are usually unaware of. Issues that not only hinder progress – – but also cause injuries in the shoulder area, especially when swinging oneself around.

Crowning point of all this, of course was when they got down for their burpees.

The couple barely bent their arms during the pushup, and the trainer did one ” to show them how it was done”, and that was that.

And that was that for the session. There was some discussion about fees, but that, for the most part was that.

Huh?? You call that training? I wanted to ask the couple this, but didn’t …

Aside from all the other stuff, in the 0 Excuses Fitness System I don’t just TEACH you how to do the exercises.

I don’t just tell you to “drop and give me a 100 – or 250”!

NO – I pound ’em right THERE  WITH YOU – as it should be DONE!

A true personal trainer should be one that can DO the exercises with you, or at least do ’em enough to work up a good sweat with you.

A real personal trainer should motivate and inspire folks that can’t do a certain exercise to GO FOR IT – with vim, vigor and GUSTO rather than just say “OK”, and be done with it!

And of course, a real personal trainer should know what the hell they’re on about when it comes to training.

None of this, of course is anything against the trainer himself. Nicest guy possible from what I could tell, but his methods were WAY off. Maybe I’ll  offer to help him out a bit the next time – or maybe not.

We’ll see – stay posted for further updates on that!

In the meantime, remember that if you’re looking for real life, no nonsense fitness coaching that WILL get you in the best shape of your life – – then apply here and we’ll have you sorted ASAP.

But remember. This is only for serious trainees who TRAIN HARD – with NO excuses brooked or tolerated.

If you’re part of the “Oh, let’s just do the easy stuff” – then this probably ain’t for you.

If you’re part of the very large majority that is satisfied with “ego boosts” as opposed to real personal training – – then this sure as heck ain’t for you.

But if you’re truly interested in getting in the best shape of your life – both mentally and physically – then guess what. I’m right here for you!

Here is that link again – http://0excusesfitness.com/coaching/

I look forward to serving you.

Best,
