felix being referred to more or less exclusively as "your soldier" in-game speaks to how little the writers put into his character beyond his noggin full of sith secrets & his relationship with the consular; still, i do find it kind of sweet and funny, in a way. he's not a republic soldier, not even your personal bodyguard; he's your soldier. the consular is a small nation-state in and of herself

#accurate.#felix iresso #swtor #jedi consular #open tags for My Rant:#going back through rishi and doing the cute little holocron quest got me brooding - as i often do - on my best boy felix #that the writers could not think to give him anything in KOTXX that wasn't Torture Angst is deeply shitty but a little understandable.#all the other consular comps kind of have a way forward that isn't consular-related when the consular goes away #nadia has the jedi. zenith has balmorra. tharan has his old illustrious career. qyzen has little baby clan and also his religious directive #meanwhile felix isn't involved with your order or a supergenius or a politician or even someone with a lifelong goal #he was a guy doing his best at a dead-end job that turned into a far more enjoyable but still lowkey dead-end job #i would argue they could (should) have sent him to ossus but i can see them balking because Doc was already there #that's a little narratively redundant especially bc Doc has an extremely useful set of non-martial skills you would want to center #when telling a story about survival and persistence against the odds like with ossus #(also he was in the group of companions second-closest in proximity to the emperor in base game)#HOWEVER.#because i am immensely sexy and cool and have a huge brain i think i've cracked it #the way to give felix a compelling story post-consular is to put him the fuck in charge.#no longer your soldier or anyone's. his own. maybe even in charge of a large group of people in need of someone to follow #considering he used to be really good at that #a group like...idk...maybe the rest of the people incarcerated on his prison colony?#much to think about.

Sure is nice having a real-life war hero around here. You must miss it though. One thing about fighting, you sure get to know the stuff you’re made of.

Ravenous (1999) [Deleted Scenes]

#ravenous 1999 #ngl i giffed this part 100% for the pistol twirl #i NEEDED y'all to see it #like. i am Once Again Asking: WHAT.#but asdgsjkgdhjkhkj no SERIOUSLY tho #Boyd being complicit in the military's covering up what really happened to glorify itself and Reich recognizing that and being pissed about #it is something that can actually be so personal #because he's right! Boyd is (unhappily) lying to protect himself! and that IS fucked up!#but it's also like. they're both at Fort Spencer for the same reason... they both represent ugly truths that the US military is trying to #sweep under the rug #but Boyd was shamed into silence while being publicly rewarded while Reich was shamed by the overexposure of his punishment #(court martial... demotion... all that)#so on one hand Reich has a right to be angry that Boyd was rewarded and his 'wrongdoings' covered up #but on the other hand - by fixating his anger on Boyd (an easy and available target) and not the system - he's playing right into #the system's hand #that's what it wants... it WANTS to shame its victims into hating themselves and each other to keep them from seeing the truth #which is that the US is fucking up its soldier's brains and doesn't give a shit if they live or die #and realizing that they have a common interest against it #you see it in the deleted scene where Reich is telling his story too... Boyd is so deep in his own self-hatred that he isn't #really HEARING him #not to quote Dave BWG Mall.oy but #WE ARE ALL IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE #HIDING IN THE DARK FROM THE SINS THAT TELL OUR TALES #AND THE DARKNESS WILL TAKE US DOWN #LEST WE SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER #ONLY THEN WILL WE BE FREE #that's what this is all about to me #and why Boyd can only prevail in the end once he's set shame aside #and - in being honest about himself - is finally able to expose the ugly truths about others as well #(tune in next time for my Boyd-as-Jonah meta that i will someday lay out in great detail but is just insane ramblings in my notes atm)

the word "warrior" has skyrocketed to my most hated word in like the past 3 months i am in pain

#this is about knuckles btw.#if i hear the word “warrior” associated with (game) knuckles one more time.............#like. thats a movie knuckles thing. keep it there.#pain. pain. pain.#“echidna warrior” means very different things in movie and game canon #and with movie knuckles' backstory it makes sense for him to identify with that and proudly call himself a warrior.#but this does not apply to game knuckles.#“echidna warrior” in the games canon means warmongering conqueror.#and game knuckles has ACTIVELY CONDEMNED THE ACTIONS OF HIS ANCESTORS #he has ACTIVELY ADVISED OTHERS TO NOT BE LIKE THEM #he has NO DESIRE TO BE LIKE THEM #he is NOT A WARRIOR he is a GUARDIAN #he is descended from 3000 years of GUARDIANS. not WARRIORS.#“echidna warrior” would only refer to pachacamac and his men. the echidnas that came after had no need for war #they were stuck on a floating island tf were they going to war with?? nothing. they weren't warriors.#they were guardians. they've BEEN guardians for 3000 years.#so even if you want it to be like knuckles using a title his ancestors used it doesnt work #bc theres 3000 years of separation between him and the last echidnas that were warriors he has NO attachment to them #and this isnt even going into how knuckles is not a ?? soldier??? tf????#hes a brawler hes a martial artist but he doesnt know shit about warfare ?????#hes been ALONE his whole life how could he know anything about warfare??????#anyway. stop making game knuckles a warrior i am actually losing it

icy hot-one

cw: VIOLENCE!! if you are weak of stomach you may wanna click off!

lots of said violence is a projection of the writer’s own issues, so it’s very graphic and personal!!

Brainwashing!! ptsd!!! passing out!!!! perceived home invasion!!! Implied but not direct SA mentions!!! Nsfw, it’s violent n stuff

Describing the main character as “thin”, “malnourished”, ect

Blood, gore, character death

-we project on ocs w similar events but worse lives than us n have our fav characters comfort em-

-i don’t make the rules-

not proofed, remember this is the intro all the marvel-y stuff is a bit later, so sorry!

1.2 k words.

Her unexpected strike left your nose bloody and mouth agape. At least your hands were still up, but you couldn’t help as your body folded away in shock. You grunted brokenly and lunged at her, knocking the side of her head with you tight fist.

She kicked back, hitting your knee and effective tripping you up. She stood on the offensive and you took a small step to the side to collect yourself. When recoiling, red hot pain seared you face and flooded all the way to your shoes, pain that had been blocked from adrenaline earlier.

She received quicker than you, and I’m seeing such an opportunity she revealed a small dagger hidden in her bra. Or shirt, it was hard to tell in the dim lighting. Rapidly, she had one gash made in your thigh, just missing an artery but biting with pain all the same. You grappled her neck in defense, albeit with blurry vision, and disarmed her of the knife covered in your thick blood. After several hard punches and elbows to her head, you were about to show her a bit of compassion when she decided to, stupidly, attempt a pendulum teep at your sternum. She’d be out cold just from another kick and it would be near fucking easy. She was on the floor, lying back down, legs sprawled and trying to kick the air.

That kick hurt, dammit, and it got you mad. Filed by a blood rage and almost righteous fury you took both her shoulders and slammed her against the ground, still pissed that she had a knife in the first place. That was out of line, even for this situation. You lowered to her level, getting ready to slowly pinch her throat and hoping karma would do the rest.

Her neck felt smaller than you expected in your hands, almost weak. You had been that weak, fighting like she was and winning. That was no matter to spare her dignity in this cage.

Something in her eyes still stopped you, though. Maybe it was how young she was, or how her brows were raised. She still flinched at your barred teeth though she had clearly fought before; she was no Muhammad. Maybe the fear in her eyes reminded you that she was only fighting for her life, same as you.

Shit. Well, that threw a wrench in your plans, and thinking on your feet was hard when you were profusely bleeding.

“What do you want?” Was whispered to her in a form of grace. Honestly, it wasn’t fair to let her have a say. She had a knife which wasn’t allowed, so the sudden mercy from you was unexpected. She swallowed and kept quiet, unwilling to accept her defeat. You, however, wanted her to have a say in her fate, so she needed to respond quicker.

Another slam to the ground from her shoulders set her teeth to vibrate in her skull, and she barely looked up without engaging a random felling tile. Her focus was slipping.

You glanced at the crowd around you and faced back to her.

“Please tell me! They’re all watching! It’ll be so much worse if they have you after when I win this match. I-I can’t kill you without you knowing why. I can’t kill you and pretend we were fighting.”

And it was true. You had witnessed the thing they’d do to the loser firsthand. In most cases, dying while fighting was better. They wouldn’t have killed you, not quick enough to forget their hands.

Lips parted in a cruel laugh she nodded. Head bloodied she shed a silent tear, glistening in the dingy lighting. You nodded smally and stood up quickly, knowing what she meant.

You didn’t want this, but you did want to let her chose, and her will be done. Using the quickest method, you stood up and hovered over her body, like a vulture cowers over a dead raccoon; void of light, save the headlights of an oncoming car.

The crowd hushed, confused by your actions. Once you raised your foot, however, the cheers rose up. All around you, people watched you fight, only separated by a shitty metal fence that was riddled with holes and stains. They roared, the lot, they didn’t care how she lost the fight or died so long as something happened. Someone lost money on this bet, someone is a new car richer, someone lost a sister years ago.

As hard and swift as possible, you brought down your foot over her face, crushing her skull in her brain, tearing apart skin and muscles so delicately woven together. It was a miasma grace, killing her instantly.

You wanted to look away, really, but your eyes stayed fixed on her dismembered head. The face that looked made of ketchup, the thick, bubbly blood pooling around her corpse.

It was really the smell that made you sick, throwing up on the spot into the sand pit you’d been fighting on. You didn’t hear your side of the fence roar again when you had been sick. They were calling you a wuss and a weak stomach for being sick.

It was always so new, the numbers after. A physical disconnect made apparent as you tried to move away, you could feel her blood stick to the sand and by extension, your feet. You gagged and wiped your foot on a clean patch of sand, trying to get the sappy texture off your body.

Once you could no longer feel it, you ran outside of the cage and through the back door to the trailers outside.

You soon spotted the place you called home and entered solemnly. Before you entered, though, you wiped off your feet, then felt sweat drip down your face and sink into the corners of your lip.

In a hazed rush you wiped the back of your palm over your eyes and head, but to your horror your sweat had mixed with a vibrant spray of vermillion. Holy shit, it was her blood, not sweat.

You promptly threw up violently outside the trailer for the second time that day, stomach clenching around bile and bone.

The grass scraped your knees pr but you couldn’t care about the all cuts this would give you, not when you had just saved a girl by ending her life. Your knees in the grass felt like jelly and it made you feel so, so weak, sinking to the ground because of feelings. It wasn’t blood that ran down your cheeks now, but salty, thin tears. The girl had been oh so thin and desperate and gray looking. In reality, she was at most two years younger that yourself, but it still hurt your head to think about.

|

a/n!!

short intro, not proof read, so sorry!!

hooked yet?

I mention things like “small frame” and such and I only did such to make sense with the plot, my oc is malnourished at this point in their story and it adds to the plot ig, this was written a while ago, I am one million percent in support of the fat awareness movement, ESPECIALLY as someone who had seen the people closest to me be hurt time and time again by such outdated standards! Remember, you don’t know who is on the other side of the screen, but I understand any resentful feelings with some language in my writing. If this isn’t for you please please click off! Love yall stay safe!

Tigerland (2000, Joel Schumacher)

27/03/2024

Tigerland is a 2000 film by Joel Schumacher.

In September 1971 a group of recruits undergo training before being sent to Vietnam. The training consists of a perfect simulation of what the boys will face in war, and takes place first at Fort Polk and then in Tigerland, a Louisiana swamp very similar to the Vietnamese environment. Among all the recruits, the Rebel Roland Bozz stands out, allergic to the rules, who does not hide his anti-patriotic attitude at all.

Shot on a very low budget and with a handheld camera and in 16mm format. The actors did not have at their disposal make-up artists, hairdressers or any of the luxuries that actors are normally accustomed to. Filming lasted 38 days, from February to March 2000 in Florida.

he is not your little meow meow, he has murdered thousands, he spit into the Heavenly Emperor's face and he attempted to destroy an entire new nation.

(this realization was brought to you by the first battle scene in tgcf which shook me to the core: "Xie Lian only brought a short sword and didn't even wear any armor. The battle ended in under two hours. [...] This was the first time in Xie Lian's life that he had killed. The first time, and he had killed thousands.")

#THAT SCENE WAS SO GOOD OH MY GOD #you know you are fucked when the other army is backed by A LITERAL DESCENDED MARTIAL GOD #1 point for Xie Lian 0 points for Bai Wuxiang. you thought you could beat Xie Lian at his own game????#also!!!! soldier! Hua Cheng darting in front of Xie Lian during the entire battle to kill those who dare to point their blade at dianxia??#AND XIE LIAN NOT EVEN NOTICING UNTIL FENG XIN AND MU QING POINT IT OUT???#(he was busy)#xie Lian was such a GOOD god to his people aaaaaaahhhh #also the fact that he never stopped creating that rain for Yong'An until his spiritual powers ran out during the pandemic :/#tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #xie lian #maedre13

... Which does, in fact, mean she's stuck in a class with Ultimate Martial Artist Kokichi Ouma. (I noticed you already did this one before!) Oh, and Ultimate Soldier Tsumugi Shirogane is there too.

I'm kinda just throwing this out there, but I think I got it: Maki *can* go blow for blow with the other two, even beat them, but she's gotta do it fast cuz this drains her battery realllly quickly and her programming's not used to such strong fighters. It's also recommended she stop at the Ultimate Mechanic's (Rantaro!) before and after, to make sure this won't put her in overdrive, and overall check-up before going into combat. When it comes to the other two talents, I like to put it simple. Disregard canon for a moment: Kokichi > Barehanded Tsumugi. Kokichi = Tsumugi with close-ranged weapons. Kokichi < Tsumugi with long-ranged weapons.

With all of this out of the way, what are they all like with each other? Do they all hate each other enough for fights to just explode out of nowhere? Do they train with each other? Do they view each other with suspicion? I gotta say, these characters weren't exactly saints in canon, nor friends. Now they can snap your spine. Well. Maki even more so.

rip the whole rest of their class

Maki personally didn’t care for any of her classmates, so being expected to get along with Tsumugi and Kokichi because of some slight overlap with their talents was very annoying.

That said, Tsumugi and Kokichi- though especially Tsumugi- could convince her to train with them. Tsumugi and Kokichi trained together pretty often, but Tsumugi could still get fed up with just Kokichi from time to time.

Kokichi likes hanging out with both of them, but training isn’t everything even then. He’ll reach out and see if they wanna hang otherwise, though he usually needs to pester them into accepting.

Maki and Tsumugi only kind of get along, though it’s more like an alliance than anything else. Since they’re both kind of soldiers, they look out for each other as much as they can.

The rest of their class gets really worried about the three of them possibly breaking out into a fight when they’re together, but that almost never happens. Not unless some outside force acts upon them.

honestly don't really vibe with the "is being robin child abuse/ could batman have prevented robin" debates because it just feels So Much like deliberately ignoring the forest for the trees. yes, you could argue that an adult man could have stopped a ten-year-old from sneaking out to fight crime, but by that logic you could also argue that disney's rapunzel is complicit in monarchal totalitarianism. you wouldn't be wrong, per se, but it's nitpicking details that don't really matter to the overarching story. batman has a sidekick so the early comics could give him someone to explain his mystery solvings/ thought processes to, and said sidekick is a kid because real-life kids read comics. sometimes the doylist answer is enough.

#i do like explorations of how being (essentially) a child soldier affected the characters #but straight up being like 'bruce could have stopped this if he wanted to >_>'#yeah he's a 200-something martial artist billionaire no SHIT he could have #and now we have a comic of an (even more) sad pathetic brooding antisocial man with no family and few friends #is that what you really want? a batman without a robin?#anyways that's my hot take of the day #astra rambles #personal
