Year-End Poll #6: 1955
Tumblr media
The sound of a decade does not change the minute the ball drops on New Year's Eve. With the benefit of hindsight, it's easier to form these cultural shifts into a narrative, even when said shifts aren't always obvious. 1955 offers us the music we've grown accustomed to over the course of this decade: traditional pop, vocal quartets, jazz standards. However, this year also gives me an opportunity to highlight some different genres that will come to shape the decade in the years to come.
The post-war 1950s saw a boom in popularity when it came to music from South and Central America. We saw this before with the inclusion of other Spanish language songs reaching the Top 30, but artists like Pérez Prado and later Ritchie Valens helped to popularize Latin music in the States. Pérez Prado is, of course, known for popularizing mambo, a Cuban genre of dance music, by incorporating big band influence. The Prado song featured on this poll is not mambo, but rather one of its descendants, cha-cha.
In 1955 year-end chart, we're seeing the first traces of a genre of music that will help define the decade's sound: rock and roll. With the inclusion of Bill Haley's Rock Around the Clock, we're seeing the first rock and roll song to top the Billboard charts. Obviously, rock and roll has existed long before Bill Haley and Pat Boone reached the top 10. Unfortunately, like many other historically Black genres, white faces typically sold better with mainstream audiences. Is this the last we'll see of record executives using white performers to market Black music to white audiences?
Foreshadowing is a literary device--

OMG I'm so excited to see the drawings of all the characters!!!! For a prompt for the group;
"Where the hell did you come from?"
The Crux (Pt. 2)
In which a group of odd individuals meets another group of odd individuals.
The group of seven had been traveling together for a few weeks now, and they had gotten to know each other, for better or worse.
Natasha and Nico had grown quite accustomed to the other four, however Nathaniel was not as open to becoming friends.
Nathaniel stops walking alongside the group, “Seriously?! Pandora, we can’t stop and help every single village we see!”
The others stop and look at Nathan. As much as he hated to admit agreeing with the prick, Noah agreed that he had a point. He puts a hand on Pandora’s shoulder.
“He’s right, Pan. We’re going to waste all of the energy we need if we keep doing this.”
She swats his hand off of her shoulder, looking over at the others with a stern and frustrated look.
“Fine, if you all don’t want to help me, then fine. But I am never going to turn my back on the people that need me.”
She continued walking without the others, Noah begins following her at first, and reaches out, but draws his hand back and stops.
“Dumbass.” Nathan mumbles.
Noah turns and gives him a look that could’ve killed.
“What? You know I’m right. She’s wasting her time.”
“She may not know how the world works, but she’s not stupid.”
“She is if she thinks that everyone is going to sing her praises.”
“You both are wrong.” Natasha intervenes.
Nathan scoffs “How?!”
“Because she doesn’t want people to sing her praises Nathan. If you had actually spent the time to get to know her, you would’ve known that she hates attention and shies away from it.”
He rolls his eyes.
“And Noah, she does know how the world works, you know that better than I do. Just because she has a good heart, good intentions, and the most compassion I’ve ever seen in a person, doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how things in the world work.”
“But she is naive.”
“I’m not arguing that she’s not! I’m arguing that you both are making her out to be someone she isn’t! Now then, are we all just going to sit here and let her kill herself or are we going to help?”
Ambrose and Constance look at each other before nodding, Nico also nods, Noah reluctantly agrees, and Nathaniel says no.
“Fine, suit yourself, but do us a favor and keep watch over the outer area of the town.”
“Fine. Just go.”
Tumblr media
Several shots are heard by the civilians, as they see a young woman helping them to kill the monsters.
After some time, all of the monsters have long since died or fled the area.
Pandora hears some slow clapping from behind her. As she turns around, she sees an old woman, dressed in black cowboy attire, with bright yellow eyes peering back at her.
“You’re not too bad with your gun, toots.” The woman says.
“Oh… yeah I’m not nearly as good as my siblings though-“
“Honey.”
“Yes…?”
“Take the compliment.”
“Okay…”
“Anyways, with what you just said, I’m assuming guns are a family affair with y’all?”
“Well of course, my mother is the one who made them after all.” She smiles.
“Ohh, you’re Lady Diana’s daughter. I was wonderin’ why you looked so noblely. Well then, needless to say I’ve got a lot of respect for y’all up in Morgana.”
“Really? But you’re-“
“From the borderlands? Yes ma’am. But I’ve always had respect for y’all because Morganians are the originals. The borderlands wouldn’t have guns without y’all.”
“Oh, I guess that’s right.”
“That being said.” The woman approaches her and holds out her hand.
“Name’s Barbara Monroe, it’s a pleasure to meet you hon.”
Pandora shakes her hand.
“I’m Pandora, Pandora De La Dáinn.”
“Ah you’re the youngest. So tell me, what’s little miss noble gal doin’ all the way out here?” She jokes.
“Well, I’m not sure if you keep up with Morganian news, but I’m looking for my brother.”
“Oh damn, He’s still missing?”
Pandora nods solemnly.
“Well, maybe I… could see about helping you out. I know people all over the place. Besides, me and my partners are trying to find some purpose and that could maybe help.”
“Thank you very much Barbara, I think I’d appreciate that greatly. So… who are your partners?”
Barbara smiles, and then turns around and yells for someone. Two similarly dressed people to her step out from behind a house. One is also in typical cowboy attire while the other looks more like a southern belle.
“Lookit what I found Chance!”
“What? A noble?”
“No you dumbass, a purpose. This young lady is on an adventure of her own, and she’s okay with us traveling with her.”
“Honey are you sure? I mean these two argue till they’re blue in the face.” The southern belle mumbles to her.
“It’s okay. I already have a bit of that myself with two of my traveling companions…”
“Ah… I see, anyways, my name is Amelia Hayes (or Boone), you can just call me Amy.”
“A pleasure to meet you! I’m Pandora.”
Barbara elbows the man next to her, he sputters out an apology and introduces himself, “I’m Chance, Chance Boone.”
“Pandora!” A familiar voice yells. She looks behind her to see almost all of her group behind her.
“Ah… and that’s my group…”
“You don’t sound too thrilled about it.” Barbara mentions.
“We had an argument just before I got here, so…”
Constance runs up to Pandora, “Are you okay? I know you can handle yourself but that was a lot of monsters!”
“I’m okay Connie. Um… do you guys care if we add some more members to the group?” She smiles nervously.
After a brief explanation of who the three borderlands dwellers are and why they’re here, the group agrees with the acceptance of them into the group.
Natasha shifts uncomfortably, “Nathan probably won’t be happy…”
“Who cares what Nathan thinks, he’s a dick.”
“Noah.” Ambrose looks at him.
“What?!”
He sighs, “You haven’t exactly been non dickish either.”
He scoffs before looking away and crossing his arms.
Pandora leans over to Amy, “About that “I already have a bit of that in my own group” thing…”
“Definitely see what you mean…”
The group grabs a quick bite to eat at one of the local taverns, and then sets off to begin traveling once more.
And no.
Nathan was not happy.

Well, ig I’ll just do The Crux members in order then, give you guys something to work with? Idk, anyways here’s some descriptions of each of The Crux members:
Pandora De La Dáinn:
Pandora De La Dáinn, the youngest in the next generation of the noble family of Morgana, has lived in the post of her relatives’ massacre her entire life. But the tragedy doesn’t stop there.
At eight years old, her eldest brother, Victor, suddenly disappears into the depths of the night after saying goodnight to Pandora, and is never seen again.
At fourteen, she is stolen in the dead of night and murdered by the woman known as Alice Ripper. Alice working under a man named Lazarus’s orders. She awakens in the Neverwhere, a place full of souls of the deceased, and finds herself in front of the god of death himself. She pleads with the god, asking him to give her one more chance as she hasn’t done what she feels she must do. The god agrees, under one condition, she become the champion of death for him, and she will gain one more chance. She awakens in front of her family’s ancestral mansion, her hair white and her limbs a transparent navy blue, only her bones showing.
At eighteen, she finds one of Victor’s many journals and discovers where he went next. She then hastily writes a letter, telling her family what she expects from them when she gets back and why she’s leaving. Ending the letter in:
“If I return without Victor, it will be bad news, or, it means something more important than Victor has happened”
She sets off to find out what happened to her brother, and through these journals scattered around Selcouth, will learn why he left to begin with. All the while finding who she is outside of her family, who she will become as Champion of Death, and what she stands for as an individual.
Noah Ripper:
The finished project of two people’s genius, Noah is an android who was created to be nothing more than a weapon to the cruel and self absorbed Alice Ripper.
Running away at fourteen after seeing his mother murder a girl his age, he finds himself in the heart of the Agrona Branches, in the kingdom of Morgana. He takes in this new world after being hidden from it for so long, and eventually meets two tiefling kids whom he befriends.
The three travel together throughout the kingdom, until eventually, Alice finds him and attempts to dismantle him. Saved only by a girl his age with white hair and a knack for engineering and tinkering, he and his two friends promise to repay her for her kindness.
After the incident regarding his near dismantling, he vows to seek revenge on his mother and anyone involved in the horrible abuse he endured growing up. And finds his opportunity to do so when Pandora asks him, Ambrose, and Constance to travel with him.
They agree, and he sets out with a thirst for blood, a gun, and a handful of ideas on how to murder those who hurt him.
Ambrose & Constance Lockwood:
As two of the three children of the terrifying and dangerous Lockwood couple, Ambrose and Constance are born into a life of destruction and conquest. They are set to inherit their parents’ fortune and the countless kingdoms they ruled over as dictators. However, once the two were forced to take up a contract with two demons, they begin to question the righteousness of their family’s actions.
Seeing their eldest brother, Lazarus, fall further and further into torment, anger, pride, and violence, calls this into question even further.
After overhearing a plan to attack another noble family’s daughter and kill her, the two decide to run away that night. They quickly escape at fourteen and twelve years old without incident and make their way to the one kingdom they know Lazarus and their parents’ cult won’t want to touch, Morgana.
They meet an android boy their age, and quickly become friends due to their similar situations. But when the boy, named Noah, is attacked and nearly dismantled, they find a noble girl and beg for her help.
She fixes Noah up, and they learn her name is Pandora. They vow to her that they will find a way to repay her some day, and that day would come soon enough.
When Pandora asks for them to travel with her, the two plus Noah agree.
Ambrose and Constance make a promise to each other that they would do as much good in the world as possible, and that they will learn the details of what atrocities their family has committed and right those wrongs.
Little do they know what Lazarus is planning…
Nathaniel, Nico, and Natasha Woodwhisper:
Growing up the children of the Last Hunt Tribe’s chieftess, Dawn Woodwhisper, they lacked any knowledge of their father until age fifteen. Their mother begins telling them stories of their father, how he was a strong warrior and the Champion of Death.
Nathaniel despises him, seeing as he left their mother alone with triplets, and never once came to visit the family.
Natasha idolizes him, and does everything in her power to be just like him.
Nico is stuck in the middle, he understands Nathaniel’s position, but also understands Natasha’s. He is trying to balance his opinions.
One day, a group of strange people attack the tribe, setting the forest it’s in on fire and burning the entire forest to the ground. They are left without knowledge of where their mother is at or their tribe, the last words they heard from Dawn were:
“No matter what happens or how you feel about it, please go find your father, tell him what happened, please.”
And thus, the three set off with a group of four to find their dad, and figure out their familial mysteries.
Josiah & Lilith Mantlebar:
Josiah and Lilith Mantlebar are the children of a renowned cleric and bard. Lilith herself is a bard, playing the guitar, while Josiah is a paladin.
When Josiah was sixteen, he was chosen by the Thunder God Asterope to be their paladin and made an oath with them.
Lilith has had her dream since she was younger, that she would try to become the best bard there was out there.
One day, while the duo is out and about in a neighboring village, they return home to find their village in ruins. Their parents and neighbors nowhere to be found.
They stay in the ruined village for a few weeks, before they decide that in order to find their parents, they have to travel. And maybe they could achieve their goals along the way.
So the two set off, to find their parents, one to be the best bard in Selcouth, the other to learn his role as a paladin.
Karissa Jester:
Karissa grew up in a small village with her parents, she was a small tiefling girl and was happy for a long time, until her parents decided that the best option for her, was to give her up for adoption. She never knew the reason, but she knew it wasn’t a decision they wanted to make.
Going through dozens of different adoptive families and ultimately being put up for adoption every single time in the end, she decides to run away from the orphanage she was staying at and find somewhere she fit in at.
She’s finds that place eventually in Magnus Wanderlust, a traveling circus. She felt unconfident and afraid, but decided to try and see if she could join. The ringmaster, a lovely changeling woman, known for her changing in appearances, took Karissa in and decided that she would train her in the ways of the circus.
Karissa soon mastered her fire magic and proceeded to be a fan favorite by many, eventually becoming one of the highest paying acts the circus had.
But she wanted more, she’d seen some of the world, but only the small populated areas, never the unpopulated areas or the big kingdoms. And she wanted to learn who she was and where she came from. Lastly, she was ultimately lonely, she knew nobody her age who she was friends with, she didn’t mind being friends with all of the older members of the circus, but she wanted to experience true life as a young adult in Selcouth.
She brings this concerns to the ringmaster who nods and agrees that she has most likely outgrown the circus, and gives her some necessities and trinkets before she leaves.
And then, she’s off into the world, eventually meeting a pair of halfling siblings, one named Josiah, one named Lilith.
Lilith introduce Karissa into the world of music, and she never went back since, playing the guitar alongside her. Josiah taught her how to use her fire in a variety of different ways as well.
And thus the three became inseparable, traveling the world to find themselves and to explore.
Chance Boone:
Chance Boone was a famous cowboy out in The Restless Borderlands. He was known for his work with sheriffs, helping people out, and riding off into the sunset at the end of the day.
However, he was also known to be a violent man, destroying an entire town from his childhood who abandoned and ostracized him.
He loved the life he lived, but over time he became bored with the constant struggle of finding food or getting gold. And something kept gnawing at him.
He’d been kidnapped as a child and managed to escape, and his family had been murdered by these people. It was one night when he decided he would find the people who did that, and make sure they would be served justice.
And thus he hopped on his horse, and rode into the dawn, on a mission.
Barbara Monroe:
Barbara Monroe was known for being the outlaw of The Restless Borderlands. And her track record with Chance is certainly one to behold in the amount of times the two had met. She led her life, stealing, killing, and on the occasion finding a partner who’d inevitably stab her in the back and end up dead.
She always wondered what the rest of the world had in store. But knew she’d never leave The Restless Borderlands. That is, until her band of outlaws attempted to get rid of her under orders from a new outlaw king. Limping out into the desert with a gunshot wound in her side, she found the place Chance was staying at, and stumbled inside.
Chance was surprised to find his rival and nemesis asking for his help, he could’ve let her die, he should’ve let her die, but for whatever reason he chose to help.
The two talk for a while, until the topic of Chance’s family comes up, Barbara had a similar story about her family, and mentions the fact that she was put in the outlaw group to begin with because of that incident.
And with that, the two make a deal. They’d work together to get back at the outlaw group, and then they’d help each other with anything else.
For Chance that means exploring the world, for Barbara that means escaping her past.
Amelia Hayes:
Amelia was a noblewoman from the kingdom of Eudaemonia, she wasn’t from the noble family of Eudaemonia, but she was a noble nonetheless.
She would travel out to The Restless Borderlands in order to provide medicine and other sorts of technology to the people there, as they were behind on the times.
That is until she comes across a town that labels her a witch, and proceeds to try to burn her to death. Until, a pair of cowboys shows up and fights the ones attempting to kill her. One was a woman, the other a man.
They scare the rest of the townsfolk into leaving her alone, and then begin talking to her.
She explains her want to give medicine and other forms of technology and science to the world, and the two explain their wanting to explore the world.
And thus, after that, she began traveling with the two.
Owen Cogwright:
Owen, or, the second mind in the making of Noah, is a troubled man. Cursed with the heirloom curse given to his family by the god of souls, he is forced to work on the project for the god lest he be in an immense amount of pain.
He locked himself away like so many do, attempting to do the project on his own. That’s until Alice weasels her way into his life, and promises more than she can offer.
Owen works with her, creating the first 5 blueprints for Noah, ages 5-10 years old. However, Alice one night threatens Owen with his life if he didn’t leave the project with her and that he would have to deal with her taking credit.
Scared for his life, he unwillingly left, heartbroken for having to leave the one creation he saw as his own son behind.
Years and years passed and Owen never made another project, suffering with the pain and agony he endured from not working on it.
Until one day, he meets a group of people in the tavern he worked at, who he tells his story to. The short half elf girl with white hair asks him if he’d like to travel with them. And Owen, seeing as his time was running out in life due to the curse, decided to go with them. To see the world before he died.

During third-quarter earnings calls this month, analysts from Morgan Stanley and TD Bank took note of this potential profit-making escalation in conflict and asked unusually blunt questions about the financial benefit of the war between Israel and Hamas. The death toll – which so far includes over 8,000 Palestinians and over 1,400 Israelis – wasn’t top of mind for TD Cowen’s Cai von Rumohr, managing director and senior research analyst specializing in the aerospace industry. His question was about the upside for General Dynamics, an aerospace and weapons company in which TD Asset Management holds over $16m in stock. (...) “Hamas has created additional demand, we have this $106bn request from the president,” said von Rumohr, during General Dynamics’ earnings call on 25 October. “Can you give us some general color in terms of areas where you think you could see incremental acceleration in demand?” “You know, the Israel situation obviously is a terrible one, frankly, and one that’s just evolving as we speak,” responded Jason Aiken, the company’s executive vice president of technologies and chief financial officer. “But I think if you look at the incremental demand potential coming out of that, the biggest one to highlight and that really sticks out is probably on the artillery side.” That next day, von Rumohr assigned a “buy” rating to General Dynamics’ stock. Morgan Stanley’s head of aerospace and defense equity research, Kristine Liwag, took a similar approach to the conflict during Raytheon’s 24 October earnings call. “Looking at [the White House’s $106bn supplemental funding request], you’ve got equipment for Ukraine, air and missile defense for Israel, and replenishment of stockpiles for both. And this seems to fit quite nicely with the Raytheon Defense portfolio,” said Liwag, whose employer holds over $3bn in Raytheon stock, a 2.1% ownership share of the weapons company. “So how much of this opportunity is addressable to the company and if the dollars are appropriated, when would be the earliest you could see this convert to revenue?” Greg Hayes, Raytheon’s chairman and executive director, responded: “I think really across the entire Raytheon portfolio, you’re going to see a benefit of this restocking … on top of what we think is going to be an increase in the [Department of Defense] top line [budget].”

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER.
REPOST DO NOT REBLOG !!
NAME: Wic
PRONOUNS : She/her
PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION : Tumblr IMs while we're still getting to know each other. Might offer my discord after a while if the vibes are right
NAME OF MUSE(s) : Tim Drake, Gotham Knights specific. Alice (Fandomless OC), Ciara Hayes (DC OC), Fleur Green (Fandomless OC based on Strange Horticulture), Imogen Caldwell (Fandomless OC based on The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker), Lafcadio Boone (The Sexy Brutale), and several more waiting in the wings on my multimuse @personae-obscura
BEST EXPERIENCE : Building a unique story with people that steadily draws other people in and grows larger than you expected
RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS : Age, I'm sorry I'm not writing with anyone under 21. Length, in the sense that if I've given like 3 paragraphs and I only get 2 lines in response? That's annoying and gives me very little to work with. I tend to prefer that shorter length for in character shitposting, not serious threads.
MUSE PREFERENCES: Plenty of information to work with. What kind of person am I working with here? What's their deal? Why would our muses cross and how would they interact? I'm happy to work with canon muses, as long as I'm somewhat familiar with the fandom, and OCs and have several of them myself.
PLOTS OR MEMES : A good mix of both personally. I'm not the best at plotting something out beat by beat because it rarely ever successfully happens that way once oyu get down to writing. I work better with a framework whilst still having enough room to let the muse do whatever it's gonna do. Memes however can spark great conversations and even lead into threads.
LONG OR SHORT REPLIES : Whatever the thread calls for. I like a longer reply but it's not always necessary or achievable and I can adapt styles relatively easily.
BEST TIME TO WRITE : 9am to 9pm EST every day because my ass is currently unemployed and I've got nothing better to do. Outside of that timeframe? I'm either asleep or I've at least seen your reply and put it in my drafts to properly read and respond later.
ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S) : Oh absolutely. I might not be able to recognise it right away but I can't actually write or connect with a character if I can't see a piece of myself in them. Which means I also tend to lose characters over time as I grow and change. Many muses that I once wrote I probably wouldn't be able to pick up again.

Denzel Washington cumple 69 años
Denzel Hayes Washington, Jr. (Mount Vernon, Nueva York; 28 de diciembre de 1954) es un actor, productor y director de cine estadounidense, ganador de tres Globo de Oro, un Premio del Sindicato de Actores, un premio Tony y dos premios Óscar; estos por las cintas Glory como mejor actor de reparto en 1989, y por "Día de entrenamiento" como mejor actor principal en 2001.
Tumblr media
En 2020, el New York Times lo calificó como el gran actor del siglo xxi. Conocido por sus actuaciones en la pantalla y el escenario, ha sido descrito como un actor quien reconfiguró "el concepto de cómo ser una estrella de cine", relacionando con personajes definidos por su gracia, dignidad, humanidad y fuerza interior.
Tumblr media
Washington ha recibido el reconocimiento de la crítica especializada a lo largo de su carrera desde su debut en 1977, encarnando en muchas ocasiones personajes de la vida real. Algunos de ellos han sido: el activista sudafricano Steve Biko en "Grito de libertad" de 1987, el defensor de los derechos humanos "Malcolm X" de 1992, el boxeador canadiense Rubin Carter en "The Hurricane" de 1999, el entrenador de fútbol americano Herman Boone en "Remember the Titans" de 2000, el poeta modernista Melvin B.

En un principio, Denzel pensaba dedicarse a la medicina, pero finalmente inició la carrera de periodismo en la Universidad de Fordham
Tumblr media
De niño asistió a la escuela primaria Pennington-Grimes en Mount Vernon hasta 1968. Cuando tenía 14 años, sus padres se divorciaron y su madre lo envió a la escuela preparatoria en la Military Academy en New Windsor, Nueva York.
Tumblr media
Denzel Washington interpretó el papel del abogado Joe Miller en "Philadelphia" (1993), junto a Tom Hanks y Antonio Banderas, pero esta vez la Academia ni siquiera le nominó. Tom Hanks, sin embargo, dijo de él que era el actor del que más había aprendido.
Durante el resto de los años 90 apareció en películas como "El informe Pelícano", "Marea roja", "La mujer del predicador", "Fallen" y "El coleccionista de huesos", que fueron éxitos de taquilla.
Tumblr media
Denzel Washington tiene un estilo muy particular que mezcla la bondad y la pasión. Esta mezcla innata le confiere a los complicados personajes que interpreta una solidez muy creíble que apasiona al público.

I wanna learn about Barbra! How did she become an adventurer? 👀
The Tale of Ms. Monroe
Barbara was always an adventurer, being an outlaw had its own adventure to it.
But how she started her adventure outside of being an outlaw, is a bit of an interesting story.
After she had been shot several times by her former outlaw band, she limps her way over to the only person she can imagine would even remotely want to help her.
Chance.
She weakly knocked on the door. Chance, knowing people don’t knock at this hour, cautiously opens the door.
“Barbara. What do you want?”
“Well as you can see toots I’m kinda in a sticky situation.”
Chance is taken aback by this, but thinks about it for a second. He shouldn’t have let her in, he really shouldn’t have. But he was never one to turn down the opportunity to save a life.
Even if that life belongs to a woman who has done nothing good in that life.
He takes her in and his wife comes out and looks shocked. Without a second thought, she helps Barbara sit down and hurries off to her room to grab some of her potions.
She comes back out, her arms filled with first aid supplies and bottles. Gently setting them down, she shoos Chance out of the room before addressing her wounds.
Barbara is confused, but thankful nonetheless. She’d heard that Chance had gotten married at one point but she had never met the other woman.
Chance had probably talked about her to his wife, and yet she was helping her without any second thought.
“So, hon, why are you helping me? I’m sure Chance ain’t spoken anything good about me.”
“Why shouldn’t I? You’re injured, and it’s my job to care for the injured, no matter who they are. Even if I’m not fond of them. Besides, Chance may have his own issues with you, but I prefer to see people with my own eyes.”
The two stayed silent until Amelia, as she had learned, had finished up. Once she was finished, she handed an odd shaped bottle to Barbara and instructed her to drink it.
Barbara gave her a questioning look.
Amelia gave her one back.
“You’re already shot, if I wanted you dead then you would’ve been left outside to die.”
She had a point.
“What is it?”
“A simple healing potion.”
Barbara pops the cork out, it falling to the floor somewhere near the end of the couch she was on, and chugs the bottle.
When she’s done, she looks at the bottle before looking back and Amelia.
“Yeah yeah I know, not the tastiest thing in the world.”
“Don’t worry about it hon, I’ve had worse.”
“That’s… not a good response.”
“Why?”
“…Aren’t you tired of that? Of being worried about getting food and water constantly? I know Chance is, and you’re about double his age… I can’t imagine how long you’ve been living like this.”
Barbara thought for a second.
“I’ll be real, I am. But… I ain’t got nothing left if not this. I don’t have a family, all my partners have either beat or left me, and I clearly ain’t got any friends anymore…”
She looks down at her bandages.
“So yer fellow outlaws did this shit?”
The two women look over at the door to one of the bedrooms, Chance stands there with his arms crossed.
“Yeah. They did.”
“That’s why you came to us?”
“Yessir.”
Seeing Barbara like this, the outlaw queen herself, this vulnerable and pathetic, put things into perspective for the young sheriff.
She wasn’t as big and bad as she liked to make herself out to be, she was just a lonely old woman, who had nothing now.
But at the same time, so was Chance. He didn’t have anything either, besides Amy.
“Well, lemme offer you this.”
Barbara raises an eyebrow, “Yer offering me something?”
“Yep, I ain’t got nothing left here either. And Amy isn’t from here, so she ain’t got nothing either. We were planning on leaving The Borderlands, heading on out to find some people who have ruined my life and to find some purpose. Do you… wanna come with?”
“Where y’all headed first?”
“Probably Agrona.”
“Hm. Alright…”
She thought for a moment, was this a good idea?
But what else did she have to lose? It’s not like she had made many good decisions before now.
And… this felt like a good decision.
Nothing was left for her here. It was time to move on.
“Fine, I’ll travel with y’all. M’ not gonna promise I’m easy to travel with though.”
“It’s okay, Chance isn’t easy to travel with either.” Amy teases.
“Hey!”
Barbara laughs, “Cheers to that, hon.”
In the morning, they all grabbed their horses, saddled them, and headed off in the direction of Morgana. Who knows what they would find.
Who could’ve guessed they would’ve become part of the group that would make history? Certainly not them.
But for now, they ride off into a new sunrise.

sam’s almost convinced himself that the tape just randomly fell into his hands last night. 
it’s a bleeding morning ;  orange light and creeping shadows,  spindly fingers stretched across the horizon.  he’s picked frost–dry knuckles raw in an effort not to resort to the crumpled pack of smokes at the bottom of his bookbag.  corinne has mentioned that getting caught with cigarettes at school could get him in bad trouble.  namely,  detention   ‒‒‒‒‒   which seemed a far less attractive concept before sam heard levi hayes be sentenced to it for caving some kid’s face in.  wiping clammy palms on porous denim,  sam stares holes into the asphalt between his scuffed shoes,  remembering ( ... ) as the floodlights on the football field die in favour of the rising sun. 
he couldn’t have done it himself,  what levi did   ‒‒‒‒‒   sam’s never fought back against or stood up to anyone.  except once,  but that rebellion left no one bleeding but himself.  he’s jealous and awestruck and sorry,  and there’s not a chance in hell he’ll be able to play that casual at all.  because this is a pretty big deal.  limited edition.  and sam (very famously,  to his own detriment) hasn’t really talked to anyone at school yet.  he’d prefer to have saved that for graduation.  or the next time he needs to find weed.
but by the time levi’s car peels into the parking lot,  coming to a stop all crooked between the pale white stripings,  sam has made up his mind.  it’s cool,  after all.  he just coincidentally found the tape laying around when he was closing up shop,  and his sister didn’t want it anymore,  and he himself for some reason doesn’t,  either,  so he brought it here.  because he also coincidentally remembered that levi would break someone’s nose for that tape.  and that,  coincidentally,  meant something to sam when that cover began to haunt him from its place on the shelf.  it’s meant something to him since levi’s fist hit its target,  all the way up to now. 
with a minute shiver and the cloudy exhalation of a bad word,  sam pushes off the hood of corinne’s car and grabs the very offering he intends to make with the shrug of his shoulders,  like it isn’t a big deal at all   ‒‒‒‒‒   like that tape doesn’t weigh a ton in his hand and he can’t feel bile rising in his throat.  all cool. 
he’s tapping on the driver’s side window before he can think better of it.  or think about booking a flight home.  behind the glass, with helpless eyes   ‒‒‒‒‒   this poor,  poor thing,  barely a person yet ;  pale skin,  wispy hair and dark circles in the newborn winter light.  he takes some empty breaths,  then proffers the tape like a magical boon,  a shield to guard him.    ❛❛  i heard you lost yours.  ❜❜

hey i have a question if you don't mind: i haven't been watching the flyers games, i'll be honest but i've seen the scores - and I am happy for them obviously.. but i'm a bit confused too if i'm being honest lmao.. do you think john tortorella really was the thing they were missing ? - divingsave
of course i don't mind!!
the short answer is: no.
they are definitely getting a bit of a new coach boost—look how the canucks played under boudreau at first and look at them now. that particular effect will be bound to wear off in time.
what i will give tortorella credit for is that for however long it lasts, they ARE doing a shitload of the "little" things that they weren't doing last year that made me want to tear my hair out (i.e. actually backchecking, better coverage, less boneheaded panic mistakes etc). and whether that's trying to impress a new coach or whether he's actually motivated them somehow, it's hard to tell.
i think a lot of it is that the roster are underdogs and feel they have a lot to prove. there are some young guys who made the team for the first time who are fighting to stay there and have been doing a pretty good job (zamula has been great positionally; n. cates has been very good; frost has been great!). but the fact is that on paper, this is not a good roster. so things are going to regress there too. our fourth line is handsome maybe, but they're not very good at hockey. and like...kevin hayes is not a first line center. he’s just not. he might be playing on the first line, but if he’s on your first line that’s a problem.
all of these fights are going to come back to bite them in the ass. whether that’s through injuries or goals against on the pk, i don’t know. but i don’t like this trend i’ve been seeing.
tk playing at this level for a full season would be huge for them. beezer being healthy and taking a step forward would be huge for them. getting coots back (hopefully) will be huge for them. provy regaining some kind of his form from his first few seasons would be huge for them, but i truly don't think he's the kind of guy who can carry a pair on his own and uhhh. i do believe that him and t*ny d*angelo together for an entire season is not gonna be super great as a first pair.
(but also some of the minuses are helping. again i know we are all big risto appearance appreciators on flyers lb but uhhhhh. he is VERY bad at hockey and i honestly think him being on IR has been a bit of a boon. especially when i talked about doing the little things right. can't tell you how many times last season he did something dumb in his own zone that led directly to a goal.)
they're also getting the kind of goaltending that i know carter is capable of. .943 sv% over those three games. right now he is the third best goalie in the league by moneypuck's rankings for GSAx. whether he can keep that up over a whole season, i don't know. he definitely can’t play a whole season alone. and the backup goalie sitch is also a question mark. sandström and ersson have both looked good to me in small sample sizes but they also have both dealt with injuries and haven't gotten extended nhl looks. and the goalie depth behind them is...not great.
finally, this isn't the first time the flyers have come hot out of the gate. they won 6/10 of their first ten games last year and 7/10 the year before that. and both of those seasons were [screeching, honking]. so don't necessarily be fooled by good results early. not with the flyers. lmao.
that being said i will try to enjoy the wins while i can.
