Bunny Berrigan: Couldn't Get Started

Born November 2, jazz genius Bunny Berrigan (1908-1942), very much not to be confused with Bunny Breckinridge. Here on Travalanche, we have many bunnies. Singer and horn player Berrigan head up his own bands in his last years, but had previously played with the orchestras of Hal Kemp, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Abe Lyman, Glenn Miller, Rudy Vallee, and Paul Whiteman. He was a regular on the…

A-T-3 098 Algorithm & Blues Pt.2

Let's start with a story. In the mid 1970s New York City ran out of cash and in the Bronx landlords were setting fire residential buildings in order to get the insurance, giving it the name the burnt down Bronx. The Bronx looked like a war zone, it had been abandoned by the city and given up to adolescent street gangs. This is where Kool Herc began throwing parties. Lance Taylor was a "warlord" in the Black Spades gang, on his return to the Bronx after visiting Africa and meeting Zulu chieftains he changed his name to Afrika Bambaataa and transformed the Black Spades into the Universal Zulu Nation. Rival gangs showed up at Herc's parties which led to violence so Bam stepped in and organised a truce between the gangs convincing them to put down their guns and begin dancing. Breakdancing was born. "The roots of break dancing are steeped in hostility and frustration searching for a means of expression. Breaking was a way to cope and resolve gang quarrels. Ultimately, it became a mechanism of truce between rival gangs." The dance comes from mimicking kung fu movies, originally learned to defend yourself from rival gangs and evolved into the complex and athletic moves that characterise modern breakdancing

The above is a 'narrative'

Narratives can be used to simplify, package, promote, or discard complex phenomena, it’s also a way of making a thing palatable for mainstream culture or the dominant ideology, in this case white middle-class America

The story of breakdancing channelling from gang violence is deeply embedded in hip-hop history. Institutions like the International Olympic Committee and BBC adopt this story because it promotes the values they want to associate themselves with

Of course it's completely fabricated and unsubstantiated by the accounts of people who were there. In a 2019 article in the Journal of Black Studies Serouj Aprahamian disputes this story on the grounds of the reliability of the sources, and goes on to "discuss how the prevalence of this false narrative in studies of hip-hop history overall is part of a broader historic pattern of associating working class African American culture with criminality." - lets not forget Latinos, please

"The Bronx was truly a concrete jungle yet it was there in the middle of “gorilla warfare” that Hiphop Culture was born." This is from an article on the birth of hip-hop, "concrete jungle" and "gorilla warfare," not guerrilla, that's a Freudian slip if ever I saw one, shameful stuff

DJ Scratch DJ for EPMD, Busta Rhymes producer

Afrika Bambaataa is central to the hip-hop history narrative and the breakdance story could very well originate from him. I've written about his erasure from the hip-hop story since having to decide what to do myself when celebrating the seminal Planet Rock (A-T-2 039 A-T-2 387 A-T-3 039). Afrika Bambaataa has been accused of raping children and sex trafficking. Here's an article published by Rolling Stone yesterday about protests outside the Universal Hip-Hop Museum over it's connections with Afrika Bambaataa https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/afrika-bambaataa-abuse-allegations-bronx-universal-hip-hop-museum-1234705041/

The other week Crazy Legs of the Bboy crew Rock Steady Crew and perhaps the most famous breakdancer alive was on Drink Champs. He also dismissed the truce narrative and much more https://youtu.be/7arNsMJg-Wg. Crazy Legs has been accused of sexually harass women himself, the allegations don't come up and he doesn't talk about Afrika Bambaataa, but he mentions his participation in the Universal Zulu Nation a lot

The B Boys - Rock The House The B Boys follow-up to Two, Three, Break (below). The B Boys were a studio group put together by producer and label boss Vincent Davis. The original lineup included Guy Vaughn programming the drums and Chuck Chill Out on the turntables, for Rock The House Donald D is on the mic. The B Boys records hold a special place in the UK because Morgan Khan released them here on his Streetwave label and Two, Three, Break and Cuttin' Herbie appear on Street Sounds Electro 2

The B Boys - Two, Three, Break The Classic! Chuck Chill Out (Charles Turner) would come back to this under his new stage name DJ Born Supreme Allah with Two, Three, Break (Part II - The Sequel) in 1985 which made it on to Street Sounds Electro 10. DJ Born Supreme Allah also began the Hip-Hop On Wax series in 1984

Did Your Apology Fail?

Did Your Apology Fail?

You apologized to your spouse… maybe on your own, or maybe because I suggested it.

And…

…

Nothing.  Nada.  Zero.  Zilch.

No change, no difference.

Does that mean that your efforts are over?  That your attempts to save your marriage are a failure?

Just to reassure you, an apology letter with no response does not necessarily mean it was a failure.  And it sure doesn’t mean that your efforts are…

I'm thinking of trying to learn and play Valorant now because of this haha I've tried it before but I just prefer to stick around one game so that I can focus on getting better at it.

I don't like playing a game when I don't have much of an idea about it. I mean, when I try to venture on a new one, I like to study it first before getting on it. Learning through experience feels easier with a heads-up.

Would you mind if you teach me first-hand? 🥺👉👈

Asus ROG Swift PG35VQ Bottom line: Be prepared to pay for extras, but don't overspend on functions you will by no means use.

What Size Monitor Do I Need? Desktop laptop video display units typically fall between 19 and 38 inches, even though for those with greater-massive desks, ultrawide presentations in sizes up to forty nine inches are also available. (The smallest video display units, aside from some specialty presentations together with ones supposed for use with a Raspberry Pi, are USB-connected transportable presentations meant broadly speaking for cellular use.) The size of the panel is measured diagonally.

While it's continually nice to have as large a viewing region as possible, it may no longer be practical, given your computer-area constraints. Plus, the bigger the display, the greater you can count on to pay. A 24-inch display is a good desire if you wish to view multi-page documents or watch movies however have confined desk area and a tight finances. But there's nothing like looking a film or gambling a recreation on a huge screen, so when you have room to your computing device, a 27-inch or larger show grants a big-display screen enjoy for a reasonable fee. If space isn't an issue, keep in mind a huge, curved-screen version to deliver a true movie-theater experience to your desktop.

Dell Ultrawide Monitor If you're looking to update a dual-monitor setup with a single show, check out one of the ultra-extensive, big-screen fashions. They are to be had in panel sizes starting from 29 to forty nine inches with curved and non-curved panels, have a 21:9 or 32:nine component ratio, and are available in a whole lot of resolutions, such as Wide Quad High-Definition (WQHD, or 2,560 with the aid of 1,440 pixels) and UHD. Some of these are productivity-focused, while others are decidedly gaming panels. (More on the latter later.)

Do I Need a Low Pixel Response Rate? Measured in milliseconds (ms), pixel reaction fee is the time it takes for a pixel to alternate from black to white (black-to-white response time) or to transition from one shade of grey to another (grey-to-grey reaction time). The faster the pixel response charge, the better the monitor is at displaying video with out additionally showing artifacts, inclusive of ghosting or blurring of moving photos. Monitors with a quick 1ms (gray-to-gray) pixel reaction are very good for gaming, however even video display units with a slower 6ms (gray-to-gray) pixel reaction can display games without lots blurring or ghosting.

Most customers won't notice input lag, that's the time it takes for the show to react to a command, but difficult-core gamers don't forget this a key factor whilst deciding on a display and commonly searching for out the fastest fashions to be had. The fastest monitor we've visible has a lag time of less than a millisecond, but for everyday use, you can get by means of with as much as round 25ms before lag becomes a trouble.

Which Monitor Resolution Is Best for What I Do? The native resolution is the most wide variety of pixels a display can show, both horizontally and vertically. For example, a monitor with a 1,920-by means of-1,080-pixel native resolution can show 1,920 pixels across the width of the display screen, and 1,080 pixels from pinnacle to backside. The higher the resolution, the more information can be displayed on the screen.

These days, many video display units within the 22-to-27-inch range have a native decision of 1,920 through 1,080 pixels and are referred to as complete HD or 1080p video display units. You'll additionally see lots of shows from 24 to 32 inches that provide a WQHD (2,560-by-1,440-pixel) native resolution. Stepping as much as a UHD or 4K (3,840-by-2,160-pixel) display commonly way a 27-inch or larger display, despite the fact that we have seen a few 24-inch UHD fashions. UHD monitors are best for viewing exceedingly detailed photographs or looking at a couple of pages in a tiled or facet-by-side format.

Which Major Features Should I Look for in a Monitor? If you have to share a reveal with a co-employee or own family members, don't forget a model with an ergonomic stand that helps you to role the display screen for your most cushty viewing perspective. A absolutely adjustable stand offers tilt, swivel, and top adjustments, and you could rotate the panel for portrait-mode viewing. If you generally tend to attach and detach USB devices often, search for a monitor with built-in USB ports. Ideally, as a minimum two of these ports can be hooked up at the facet of the cabinet, making it smooth to plug in thumb drives and other USB peripherals.

ViewSonic Elite XG270 Most video display units include built-in speakers which are adequate for ordinary use but lack the quantity and bass reaction that music aficionados and game enthusiasts crave. If audio output is important, look for speakers with a minimum rating of 2 watts in line with speaker. As a wellknown rule, the better the power score, the more extent you can anticipate, so if you want a monitor with a touch extra audio pop, check the specs. Some monitors lack speakers altogether, but you may add outside audio system that may also provide you with better sound than typical monitor audio system.

Finally, glossy-surfaced displays can provide very vibrant, crisp colors, but they will additionally be too reflective for a few customers. If possible, compare a glossy display screen to a matte display before you buy to decide which works best for you.

What Are the Different Kinds of Monitor Panels? The key panel kinds used in desktop shows are twisted nematic (TN), in-plane switching (IPS), vertical alignm

Random questions.

(Since I am super bored and no one actually asks me questions I have went ahead and filled them all out.) 001. When is their birthday? 3rd Sun of the 6th Astral Moon 002. Do they do anything to celebrate their birthday? Not normally. 003. Does your character like coffee better, or tea? Tea 004. Do they prefer being alone or with others? It really depends on the moment. Ryo likes her privacy and does not like huge crowds. She does like spending time with her loved ones. 005. Are they in good health? Yes 006. What sense do they most rely on? Sight/smell 007. Is your character an optimist or a pessimist? Depends on the situation. 008. What is their favorite fairy tale? N/a 009. Do they believe in happy endings? Not really 010. Do they believe in love at first sight? Not in the normal aspect. She believes that there is a connection between souls, not always pertaining to love. Even with that connection, love is something that requires work. 011.

Umm okay that’s a lot.

It’s entirely clear looking at this and from the fact that I wrote 60 fics in 2018 (that’s even counting all the drabbles as a single fic) that I write too much.

So I’m just going to pick 10 fics or else this post will be way too long.

Links & Titles to 2018 Works:

Thank you, for saving me: five times Kara saves Lena and the sixth time Lena thanks her.

All signs lead to trouble: sanvers teachers AU

In your arms, where I belong: late night phone calls turn into sleepovers as Kara and Lena help each other fall asleep.

The makings of a family: Kara and Lena raise baby Clark together.

Your smile is brighter than the sun: Kara solar flares and Lena arrives home to find her suntanning naked on her balcony.

To feel close to you: Lena is a t-shirt thief and Kara catches her.

If only you could see what I do: "Lena mentions she hates her stomach and Kara is just so shook and confused because Lena Luthor has a soft cute little belly. Kara then dedicates her time to telling Lena how beautiful she is (and she kisses her belly a few times)"

She's my wife and I love her: multiple fics of supercorp wives just being happy and in love.

the truth is i love you: Kara and Lena play truth or dare.

you're my best friend but can we be more?: new year’s eve supercorp fic

Favorite Fic: I’m not sure that I can pick a favourite but I had a lot of fun writing I'm with you no matter what. It’s the biggest thing I’ve written so far and I had a lot of fun developing the plot and expanding on the characters in that particular story.

Hardest Fic: There’s no single one I could chose even if some are easier to write than others. I’d probably say any multi chapter fics I’ve written are the hardest, only because I find it hard to say focused and finish them.

Do you plan on taking prompts in 2019? For sure, I’ve already started! Feel free to send me a message with a prompt or for an update if you’ve already sent one. I get quite a few so some get lost in the pile.

What was the best thing about 2018? I got to be back in my home country and spend time with my family plus I had a lot of free time for writing.

What was the worst thing about 2018? The downside of being home is that I miss my friends and family now on the other side of the world.

Any last thoughts for 2018? Let’s hope this year is even better!

Goals for 2019:

Keep writing.

Maybe finally finish a multi chapter supercorp fic I’ve been working on for ages.

Definitely finish my sanvers soccer au.

Reply to more comments because I suck at it but know I appreciate every single one.

Figure out what I want to do with my life.

I’m going to tag @murdershegoat, @jedifighterpilot2727 @sapphicscholarwrites and @poppyssupergirl

talk to me about your favorite episodes of xyz !!! or your favorite moments !!

oh my god ,     okay ,     uh ,     i have     SO many favorite episodes / moments ,     this is gnna take a hot motherfuckin sec   ( post!editing edward here ,     i was right ) ,     uh ,     KDSFJGHSDFJ ,     okay ,     sO   …               folks ,     if you’ve ever wanted a somewhat comprehensive summary of all of my feelings on the xy/z series ,     here it is ,     all in one place :

                                001 - 002.

right from the start of satoshi showing up in kalos ,     the entire energy of the series was just so !!! & the battle animations were just such a breath of fresh air after having watched bw & i was just instantly drawn in .               then there was the whole incident with the gablias & just satoshi following it up the tower & having calming it down enough to remove the collar ,     knowing that it was in pain ,     be the first priority ,     & then leaping after pikachu when an edge of the tower broke off   ——   my heart just was so warm throughout all that .

                                003.

satoshi consistently repeating that a strategy is needed against yayakoma sort of just made me smile & think ,     yeah he’s grown a lot since previous seasons .               along with that ,     the moment where it clicks for satoshi why keromatsu has been described as   “ the pokemon that battles as it pleases without listening to its trainer ” ,     understanding his feelings & working to attain keromatsu’s goal together instead of him just leaping blindly without considering how to most effectively achieve it  ;          that also just really made me soft ,     because finally there’s a trainer that actually understands keromatsu & it reaffirms that him choosing satoshi was indeed a good choice .

                                006.

a really small thing ,     but when satoshi’s stuck on how to counter viola’s pokemon & he & serena have a small talk & serena says that he told her   “ don’t give up until the end ”   & that he hasn’t changed &   “ this is so like you ”   & satoshi just pauses for a second .               & then he laughs .               because how could he forget   ??               it’s not like him to mull things over too much ,     he just goes at it with fighting spirit ,     no matter what it may be or even if fighting spirit is all he has .                 that moment just always makes me smile to think about ,     probably mostly due to the pause & laugh ,     honestly .

                                007.

serena putting her sihorn knowledge to use & teaching satoshi how to ride one ,     & the moments where she was remembering herself learning & when she repeats her mom’s words of   “ don’t talk !!     you’ll bite your tongue !! ”   &   “ go for broke !! ”   without even thinking   ——   those were sweet .               also the kalos gang talking to serena’s mom for the first time ,     that was really adorable ,     especially with everyone pushing each other out of the frame to talk & satoshi excitedly talking about serena teaching him to ride sihorn & her trying to get him to shush up & ending up just shoving him away from the phone entirely before he could finish a sentence .

                                008.

satoshi & pikachu continuing to battle the rocket gang even after maaiika blinded pikachu by having satoshi become his eyes & guide where to dodge & where to strike  ;          it was a really nice way of showing the trust that pikachu has in satoshi & vice versa ,     because battling blind while relying on someone else’s directions does take a lot of trust to pull off smoothly .

                                009.

honestly just the entire episode  :          the backstory with the citroid ,     citron reclaiming his gym ,     the kalos gang saying they’ll grow together with citron ,     him declaring to his dad that he wishes to travel with satoshi & serena & stating that they’ve helped him grow as a person in even just the short amount of time that they’ve been together at that point ,     the promise between satoshi & citron to have a proper gym battle against each other once satoshi reaches the skill level of someone with four badges & citron promising to get stronger as well to be able to give that proper gym battle   ——   this entire episode was filled with so much goodness .

                                025.

after rewatching the orange league arc ,     i’d come to realize that zakuro giving his challengers the option to climb their way to the battlefield was quite similar to a previous gym leader that too had his challengers climb for the right to challenge him ,     but there were a few differences ,     one significant one being that ,     in kalos ,     satoshi has zero hesitation in his decision to climb the walls & ,     though he slips once ,     he doesn’t look down & finishes his climb with relative ease ,     a vast improvement from the aforementioned orange league arc ,     & the connection with the earlier arc makes this a moment ,     or rather thing ,     that i really liked .               also the evolution of way of fighting through battle with the counter - tombs was really neat .

                                030 - 033.

honestly just watching corni & her lucario bond & grow & come to truly understand each other & overcome the overwhelming power of lucario’s mega evolution was all just really interesting  ;          also the understanding that satoshi had for her connection with lucario & for the need to battle the bursyamo in the cave on their own due to his own experience ,     that was nice .

                                034.

the entire episode ,     really .               satoshi took one look at luchabull & just went   “ kin ” .              the excitement & admiration he felt at meeting luchabull & him asking if kanazawa could share some stories about him & just being so !!! when kanazawa tells him he could take him to luchabull’s training spot   ——   it was all just so tangible & heartwarming .               satoshi working with luchabull to help master the flying press & trying to help by thinking of a way to increase the speed of the attack without having to remove the personal dramatic flair aspect of luchabull’s particular move was also really sweet ,     along with admitting total defeat even though it was a draw between luchabull & keromatsu because luchabull had perfected his flying press after trying satoshi’s suggestions only once & impressed him + luchabull still wanting to go along with satoshi & the others .

                                039 - 042.

the rival trio were so great & the summer camp was a wonderful way of introducing these recurring characters ,     not to mention that this marks the beginning of steady discovery for serena of what sort of dream she wants to attain ,     with sana telling her about the trypokarons & it sparking an interest for her .

                                044.

oh man ,     the gym battle between satoshi & corni was such a ride to watch ,     especially just the first time around ,     like the animation team really pulled out some god damn stops for this episode because ,     holy fuck ,     it was like a cup of coffee for me .               also ,     the moment with satoshi realizing he can’t really copy anyone else’s strategy because he’s got his own type of rhythm to battling was just kinda nice .

                                047.

serena’s first caught pokemon & her deciding that she wants to become a pokemon performer along with fokko & yancham .               she’s struggled with the fact that she’s the only one she knows without a goal or a dream in life all the way up until this episode & just the fact that she’s finally so certain of something like that really warmed my heart .

                                053.

going off from the aforementioned ep ,     serena confronting her mom about wanting to become a pokemon performer & challenging her to a race with the stakes being that ,     if serena loses ,     she’s going to come back home ,     & even though she falls down in the middle of the race ,     not giving up & her determination getting her through to the finish line first .               she finally had something she’s so passionate about & i just felt nothing but pride & joy for her .

                                054.

kojiro & maaiika ,     man .               kojiro & maaiika .

                                060.

while serena may have failed in her first trypokaron ,     it was really heartwarming to see her finally turn around in the end & not let the failure stop her entirely from pushing on ahead ,     knowing that she’s not alone in it ,     she has her pokemon with her .               also the blue ribbon she got from satoshi being used for her new look was sweet .

                                064.

elle & serena’s battle & serena taking elle’s advice of smiling while performing with her pokemon to heart & reaching fokko in a way that made it evolve into tairenar all hit me in the heart like a bag of bricks ,     not gonna lie .

                                067.

oh man .               the entire gym battle between satoshi & citron .               it really was so electrifying to watch ,     the animation & emotion in the battle was off the hook & i could swear that my heart was racing its own marathon during all of it .               i really felt that feeling of not wanting the battle to end & wanting it to last forever ,     & when it was over i felt like i’d just gotten an absolute rush of adrenaline & had to slowly come down from it .               it’s honestly my favorite gym battle to date ,     full stop   ( though the unofficial gym battle against kasumi in sumo is a close second due to similar reasons as this one ) ,     because not only was the battle itself so incredibly well done ,     but the chemistry between not just trainer & pokemon ,     but trainer & trainer as well was just so beautifully displayed in a way that none of the other gym battles with travelling companions who were gym leaders had   ( the battle against kasumi is one of an old friendship from the very early first days of their journeys ,     sort of an   “ it’s been a long while, wonder how you’ve you been ” ,     while the one against citron is more that of gratitude & respect ,     mostly coming from citron  ;          they’ve got two distinctly different connections )  ;          citron was inspired by satoshi to be the type of trainer he is in this episode ,     all the events & incidents that have happened up until this battle have made him the way he is ,     & he is giving it his all because it’s not only what satoshi deserves but it’s also what citron has achieved   ——   he’s grown as a trainer & as a person & this battle is his way of showing all his progress thus far .               it’s a thank you .               also ,     you can pry the line   “ satoshi, you need me.     a fighter like you needs a calm type like me by his side ”   from my cold ,     dead grasp .

                                074.

satoshi dealing with the trick rooms was interesting to watch ,     & even though the end result may not have been quite as satisfactory as he’d hoped ,     the repeated use of flame charge to build up speed for when the room timed out was a heh moment that i liked  ;          he’s got a tendency to sometimes purposefully make his opponents think he’s making a mistake while he’s actually just waiting for the right moment to make a good move & i really appreciate those moments .

                                076.

the gang parenting the newly hatched onbat was so sweet & so cute ,     especially with satoshi & his flying types ,     helping it learn to fly .               it’s kind of a small thing ,     but it’s so adorable & heartwarming that i can’t help but call it a favorite .

                                085.

kojiro stepping up & helping serena with tairenar’s broken stick because he understands the feeling of losing something that may seem easily replaceable to others but holds immeasurable value & memories to the one who owns said something .               it was honestly just so sweet & so heartwarming & he was happy for tairenar even while getting blasted off ,     i mean come on .               my heart was mush .

                                087.

tiny thing but satoshi sprawling out in his sleep to the point of having an arm draped over citron was really cute & a favorite thing .

                                092 - 093.

first off ,     i dig gojika’s whole Thing so much & i think she might be my favorite gym leader purely aesthetic - wise  ;          second ,     the foreshadowing of satoshi - gekkouga & gekogashira’s backstory ,     holy shit .               not gonna lie ,     the lines   “ what keromatsu wanted was something deeper .     i call this … love .   […]   this one’s future   …   is you two climbing up towards a future of new greatness   …   that no one has ever seen before . ”   hit me in the heart like a bowling ball .               & oh man the gym battle   …               god it was so much fun to watch & i loved every moment of it ,     particularly satoshi having pikachu time the amount of time it takes for gojika’s future sight to strike ,     & Oof the moment where gojika sees satoshi & gekogashira’s future in the water pulse .

                                100 / xy&z07.

gekogashira’s evolution & the first instance of satoshi - gekkouga   …               honestly ,     almost every time i rewatch an instance of it after a while of not seeing any ,     i realize i forgot just how intense the satoshi - gekkouga state is ,     like even just the powering up part on its own .

                                106 / xy&z13.

something about the abruptness of the ends of the battles between satoshi - gekkouga & jukain & mega lizardon always cracks me up ,     i don’t know what to tell y’all .               also the exchange of   “ satoshi, what was that ??     how can you do that ??     please tell me !! ”   “ i don’t know either.     my vision goes bam & then i’m all rargh. ”   “ i see, i see   …   wait, that does not help !! ” .

                                112 - 113 / xy&z19 - 20.

even though she lost in the end ,     the fact that serena had even made it to the point of facing off against elle in the first place was such a huge deal & i can honestly say that i cried a Lot during these episodes & that they are the reason i now instantly get teary - eyed upon hearing serena’s dori - dori song .               also ,     it was really nice that musashi accepted her loss as well as she did ,     casually stating that it was because of the rest of the gang that she made it even that far ,     even though just a few trypokarons ago she would have blown her lid off at a loss when she was so close to her goal  ;          the rest of the gang being just so proud of her & kojiro & nyarth being more than willing to pay for the celebratory dinner was really sweet ,     too .

                                116 / xy&z23.

small things stuck with me & make this a nice episode to rewatch ,     such as the start of studying satoshi & gekkouga’s synchronization ,     pikachu shouting at satoshi for calling out onvern for a battle instead of him & getting pouty ,     the small details of satoshi’s eyes narrowing just as he’s about to resume battle with gekkouga having freshly powered up & his pupils contracting in a closeup when an attack is incoming which are such tiny things but delight me to no end ,     & just the enthusiasm with which satoshi goes into his decision to raise his own strength closer to that of gekkouga’s .

                                118 / xy&z25.

where can i even begin with this episode Holy Shit   …               first off ,     this ep reaffirmed to me that carne is such a delight ,     honestly ,     def one of my favorite champions ,     second   …   that battle though   …   that battle   …   poetic cinema   …               the battle choreography ,     the animation ,     the way satoshi - gekkouga’s theme seemed to perfectly sync up with what was on screen ,     satoshi moving in perfect sync with gekkouga’s movements as he attacked as though he were the one performing the attacks ,     the raw emotion in satoshi’s voice as he called out attacks & declarations of becoming much ,     much stronger   …               it was such a rush of adrenaline to watch ,     even bigger than the one i got while watching the gym battle between satoshi & citron ,     i felt like my heart stopped beating the moment the battle was abruptly ended by satoshi losing consciousness .               & hey ,     the animator(s) responsible for the scenes with the white background & black paint splatters ,     let me get y’all’s number ,     i wanna treat y’all because holy fuck those were intense .               i loved them .

                                119 / xy&z26.

this episode is less of a favorite due to what happens & more of a favorite due to the content as a whole .               upsetting to him as it may have been ,     satoshi had been having a huge winning streak ,     alan & black - outs excluded ,     so a loss was imminent ,     & ,     honestly ,     understandable .               seeing that shoota had surpassed him in an aspect & grown so strong in such a short amount of time got to him & affected his psyche  ;          kid got scared .               he got nervous & ,     as we all know ,     a nervous trainer leads to a faulty battle .               i will say though that the little bit after the internal thoughts in the middle of the jukain vs gekkouga battle of satoshi saying shoota surprised him delights me to no end & i blame how rica said the line along w/ the small motion satoshi makes while saying it .

                                120 / xy&z27.

satoshi literally saying   “ hold my jacket while i fight this guy ” .               i can’t call anything else a favorite even though i loved this episode because everything else just made me emotional & upset  ;          particularly the fact that the preview for the next episode was silent except for the snowy wind blowing & satoshi dejectedly reading out the title of the episode without even saying the   “ everyone, get pokemon ”   line at the end .

                                121 / xy&z28.

putting aside the upsetting factor of the title not being read out by anyone   …               the flashbacks of younger satoshi with all those wild pokemon really warmed my heart after all of the upsetting stuff that had been going on .               also the moment of satoshi & gekkouga finally making their power their own ,     based on their mutual strong desire to save one pokemon ,     along with them both deciding to start fresh from zero ,     gekkouga rolling his monster ball towards satoshi just as like when he initially chose him & everything .

                                122 / xy&z29.

oh honey when satoshi - gekkouga showed up   …   oh Honey   …               again ,     the thing with satoshi moving in sync with gekkouga’s moves as though he were the one attacking ,     except this time even more intense than during the battle with carne  ;          for some reason the aerial ace kick downwards always gets me & that small bit is one of my top favorite parts of the entire episode somehow .

                                123 / xy&z30.

satoshi & eureka finishing off the preview for the next episode together while citron’s in the background wordvomiting about the wonders of ingenuities .               that is all .

                                125 / xy&z32.

satoshi’s declarations of aiming to win the entire league ,     serena having to physically drag satoshi away from a battle before it begins when he’s already running out of time to get registered for the conference ,     satoshi doing the arm thing on trova ,     seeing the frustration of someone who failed to get all eight badges in time ,     just so many favorites across the episode .

                                126 / xy&z33.

the various mega - evolutions ,     tierno & shoota’s battle ,     & numelgon rejoining the team were all Oof .

                                127 - 128 / xy&z34 - 35.

satoshi’s eyes shining while watching alan’s fight honestly made my heart go ding ,     not gonna lie  ;          the boundless excitement building in him is real & it’s wonderful .               & the start of the battle between satoshi & shoota   …   i felt like satoshi using pikachu’s electric ball against bloster’s grip was a nice callback to using it to get out of horubee’s grasp on his tail in the first episode ,     & honestly the part where satoshi had pikachu block gillgard’s entry into its shield was such a heh moment ,     like it really was so on brand for him to pull something like that ,     something that would have failed were the timing off even in the slightest  ;          also i really liked the small detail of satoshi’s pupils contracting when he spots a chance for dealing with king’s shield & the little laugh he did when shoota’s peroream returned the favor for what onvern did .                    but holy fuck the finale of the battle between satoshi & shoota   …   the fight between satoshi - gekkouga & mega jukain   …   oh man i absolutely felt that battle  ;          the adrenaline rush i got from watching it was on par with the gym battles against corni ,     citron ,     & urup ,     & the battle against carne .               the raw power in it   …   wrow   …               the animation ,     the battle choreography ,     just how absolutely tangible the attacks were   …               but the true oof was yet to come   …   this was only the semi - finals   …   the biggest big dick energy of them all was still only just around the corner   …

                                129 / xy&z36.

honestly this episode had just really tiny things that i liked ,     like the nurse joy at the beginning of the episode wishing for satoshi to do his best in the finals with a shine in her eyes which was honestly really cute ,     citron & eureka’s dad stealing the citroid’s line about waiting in line for 2h being an easy feat ,     the jirachi keychain ,     alan genuinely being excited for the finale & battling satoshi ,     & how could i list off favorites in this episode without mentioning the ending song ,     oh my god ,     it’s the softest & cutest & sweetest shit ,     i swear i could get a cavity from watching it on repeat .

                                130 - 131 / xy&z37 - 38.

ho - ly - shit .               i mean ,     this was the finals match ,     so no fucking shit the battle would radiate big dick energy ,     but the absolute wave of power that ran over me while watching it was absolutely phenomenal .               the animation ,     the movements ,     the emotion ,     the raw power behind each call of attack & execution of move ,     the absolutely palpable energy of the battle   …   whew   …   i needed to sit back for a few minutes & just catch my breath after all of that   …               like ,     putting aside how much hatred i have for the constant baiting of a league victory for satoshi   ( with him declaring he’s aiming for victory throughout the entire series & a bunch of characters saying lines that imply a league victory   ( not to mention ,     the final episode of the conference being called   “ kalos league victory !!     satoshi’s ultimate match !! ” ,     like holy shit ,     can you pull a bigger dick move ) ) ,     only for alan to beat satoshi - gekkouga with a move that he’d easily blocked before in spite of gekkouga using an insanely more powerful counter attack than the first time while also having the type advantage   ( but go off i guess )   …   it was an incredibly well executed battle & ,     really ,     the end result was the only thing that i would   ( & did )   change .               also ,     a bunch of tiny things that i really loved were citron’s hand trembling out of excitement during the start of the battle ,     luchabull coming out of his monster ball on his own when onvern was defeated & badly hurt ,     alan experiencing the same feeling that most trainers feel while battling satoshi   ——   the feeling of wanting the battle to continue on for as long as possible because they’re deriving such fun & enjoyment from the raw passion that arises in the midst of the fight ,     kojiro starting to root for satoshi & while initially giving him slack for it musashi & nyarth joining in on it ,     rocket gang stating that they were the ones that helped make satoshi as strong as he is   ( which ,     honestly ,     go off y’all three because you’re so right & i’ve been saying it for a while now ) ,     & again ,     the fucking ending song ,     i swear it could cure my depression if i watched it enough times .               & then there was the start of fleur - de - lis’ plan being set into motion   …

                                132 - 134 / xy&z39 - 41.

rocket gang broadcasting live coverage of the happenings in miare city ,     the zygarde showdown ,     serena & platane going to save hari with manon & rocket gang following them & the    “ this is that   “ the enemy of our enemy is our friend ”   thing ” ,     citron kicking flare gang ass   …               satoshi & gekkouga resisting energy that was powerful enough to control zygarde & satoshi’s speech of loving this world & there being people & pokemon he loves & the absolute raw Emotion in his delivery as he shifts into the bond phenomenon along with the return of   …   the Thing with the white background & black paint splatters   (seriously ,     people responsible for those ,     hit me up & let me treat y’all )   …   poetic cinema   …               in the midst of fighting against fleur - de - lis ,     satoshi honestly dropped some intense fucking lines ,     not gonna lie ,     & you can’t deny ,     like   …   “ fighting instinct, whatever   …   there’s more to a pokemon’s power than that.     i’ve realized during my journey   …   that me & my pokemon’s strength is constantly believing in each other   …   & constantly loving each other no matter what.     if you don’t get it, i will show you here & now !! ”   &   “fleur - de - lis !!     i don’t care if you hate this world or not ;     the world belongs to humans & pokemon alike.     it belongs to everyone !!     stop being selfish & talking about   …   how you’re going to destroy or change it, or that we won’t live to see tomorrow !!     those who will meet someone dear to them tomorrow, those who will achieve their dreams tomorrow, those who will start their journeys as trainers tomorrow, & those whose wounds will heal tomorrow ;     each & every one of them has their own tomorrow !!     you have no good reason to not let them see that tomorrow !!     that’s why   …   me & my pokemon will fight for their tomorrow !! ”   were some raw as fuck lines .               & speaking of raw as fuck   …   holy shit did eureka bringing squishy back to its senses absolutely tear me apart   …               this child   …   she’s scared for her life & in tears ,     but she’s not crying for herself ,     she’s crying for the one she’d promised to protect & never let go of   …   & she finds it in herself to sing to it the song she’d made up just for it & that she’d sung & hummed to it throughout their journeying together   …   & the more she sings it ,     the louder she does so ,     hoping ,     knowing   …   it will help bring her friend back   …   & it does .               & ,     if you listen closely ,     you can hear edward in the background absolutely sobbing just remembering it all .               oh but the emo shit doesn’t end there ,     oh no - no - no   …   there’s the citroid .               i have one image for that   …

                                135 - 136 / xy&z42 - 43.

putting aside the rocket gang also kicking flare gang ass & continuing to broadcast live coverage of the mayhem unfolding ,     i think we all know who the true hero of the zygarde arc was .               it was eureka ,     that’s who .               she befriended a basically - god & saved it & protected it & made it & another basically - god of it’s kind realize that the world is worth saving .               i love her & i’m proud of her .               that being said   …   eureka tickling a spot on the other z - core while saying that squishy likes when she does that & it just nodding next to her like she’s said the wisest truth in the universe was really hecking cute .               the little detail of daigo kissing his key stone to activate mega evolution was neat ,     & oh damn carne & the gym leaders assembling to assist   …   they came in ready to kick ass & kick ass they did .               everyone charging in on the megalith ,     even the rocket gang joining in ,     the back - to - back champion fighting ,     everyone doing everything within their power to save hari & stop the maglith   …   & the zygarde   !!!   “ we have set our hopes on humans.     she has protected us this whole time.     she promised she would never let us go.     now it is our turn !! ”   oh honey   …               i’m telling you ,     eureka saved the world with her kindness .               but the use of the piano instrumental of squishy’s song when the zygarde are saying goodbye & the ending song bye nyarth was illegal ,     bye .

                                137 / xy&z44.

honestly just someone instantly recognizing satoshi from the league made me really happy somehow ,     especially since the only other time someone’s recognized him from a league that i can name of the top of my head was masato way back in advanced .               the citroid learning about the joys of gym battles all over again was really nice ,     too .

                                138 / xy&z45.

serena deciding to hold a pokemon performance in miare city’s square to lift everybody’s spirits higher with sana & musashi joining her in it absolutely lit my heart up ,     so i’d say serena was quite successful in her plan .               also ,     satoshi pointing out things he knows are of interest to serena while they’re out in the city & him pulling her along by the hand to battle when he notices her being gloomy was really cute & sweet  ;          i might not be on board for them as a ship but man i can so absolutely see the appeal .               also - also ,     the mention of pokemon contests   !!!   which makes me think that it’d be really interesting for serena to meet with haruka & hikari & their rivals & face off against them ,     which i know we’ll never get to see but it’s nice to think about .               also - also - also ,     yashio saying she’s a fan of serena’s & the beginning of dori dori kicking in really yanked at my heart strings & still makes me instantly turn into a tearful mess ,     thanks .

                                139 / xy&z46.

the long - distance battling with satoshi - gekkouga was really nice ,     especially since i’m particularly fond of any & all scenes that display the powers / abilities brought out by the bond phenomenon   ( something i might make a post on some day ,     actually ,     since it really is such an interesting thing to think about )   …   but alas ,     it was time to say goodbye to gekkouga   …   it was sad ,     yes ,     but the knowledge that their bond will always connect them no matter the physical distance is a comfort   …                    the promise between squishy & eureka to go on an adventure again when eureka’s a trainer sort of punched me in the soul ,     honestly .

                                140 / xy&z47.

hanako & okido   !!!   pikachu squishing his face on the monitor   !!!   satoshi leaning way into the camera   !!!   it was all so cute !!               also ,     rocket gang editing the footage they filmed so that it looked like they were the ones responsible for the defeat of the flare gang & it actually working  ;          i also really liked the little heh detail with the solrock & lunatone keychains as a nudge about the upcoming sumo series .               but good lord eureka’s speech to dedenne about not wanting to say goodbye either but knowing that they have to & that one day she’ll become a trainer with dedenne as her partner   …   i barely skimmed over that part while rewatching the episode & even two lines from it made me start crying .               also ,     what does it say about me that the first thing i thought when citron said   “ [..] can i also ask one last favor ??     there is something i want to do very badly. ”   was if he wanted to kiss satoshi too ??               i will say though ,     them having one last battle before parting ways warmed my heart a lot   …               the flashbacks of everyone’s adventures throughout this journey & the glimpses of what the side cast were up to hit me in the emotions ,     but what truly played my heart like a violin concerto   …   was satoshi coming home .               there was no big fanfare ,     no grand welcome back ,     just a boy returning to his home town after a long journey ,     nothing but the sounds of the night accompanying him as he makes his way to his house ,     followed by a message of   “ & to your own way. ” ,     unlike in previous finales where the send - off was   “ next time   …   a new beginning   !! ” ,     a sign that ,     from here on out ,     we are no longer going to follow satoshi ,     that ,     though he still has a ways to go before achieving his goal of becoming a pokemon master ,     we won’t be accompanying him on his next journey .               the way satoshi arriving in masara town was executed   …   it felt final & it really felt like coming home .               & i for one can only wish satoshi the best on his next adventure .

"Action is the key to change" BEING

When I saw her post asking for help I knew I had to share it, but I didn't right away, my reasoning, I wanted, I had to, tell you more about her and the consulting and outreach that BEING is doing and why it is important to me and others that she receive some help.

Amanda has been volunteering for us @ Seattle Dogs Homeless Program for several years, she started when she was homeless, distributing our pet bags and during the winter survival gear for their owners, once housed she continued to volunteer, to this day she is still with us volunteering, 4 days a week she not only does animal outreach, she is also a liaison to many of the people we encounter. While Seattle Dogs helps homeless animals, there are humans attached to them, many of them asking for information or help to navigate services like where to get mail, ID, shelter, medical needs, drug treatment and much more, so when people ask us for these needs, we turn to BEING. 100% volunteered time 24 hours a day our call for help is answered. These are just examples of the help Amanda / BEING gives to us.

As if that isn't enough she is constantly participating in discussions, meetings and open forums regarding homelessness, opening minds to what is working and what isn't, what is needed and what must be done, she is empowered by what she went through while homeless and what she continues to see today. Her demeanor is sweet, she smiles often but like thunder her voice is loud, her words are brutally honest, passionate, and with her whole BEING she is making a difference. Her advocacy for the homeless people living in our city is stark, honest, beautiful

I hope reading this you can see why Amanda is important to me, to us here @ Seattle Dogs and that you are inspired by all the work she has been doing from homelessness or housed. For her to continue to do all that she does we hope you can donate. Thank you!

This was a 26 man event that people had to qualify for via their country’s national competitions. The top 6 players won an invite to Worlds taking place in November over 2 days in Japan. The format was 5 rounds of swiss followed by a top 8 cut. There was also a rescue match for the losers of the first round in top 8, to decide who the top 6 were. The format was best of 3 all day.

Swiss

Round 1 - Water/Shine. Game 1, I felt fairly secure with a copy of Summoner on the field and 3 forwards vs the opponent’s single Warrior of Light. However, they simply played 2 Ultima, the High Seraph and reset the board while I was on 6 points of damage. From there with no copies of Odin to hand, the Warrior of Light was able to finish the game. Game 2 I tried a slightly different approach and simply played Exdeath + Fleeting Flash on the first turn. His deck crumbled to the pressure and a similar approach worked during game 3.

Round 2 - Wind/Water. It was unfortunate to play vs somebody I knew this early, the player was Jamie Faulkner who was also a UK representative. Game 1, my hand was bad, however a turn 1 Genesis sent his plans askew and instead of furthering his own gamestate, he was forced to expire his hand handling the Genesis. Decent top decks allowed me to close out the game a turn before he would have stabilised. Game 2, Exdeath + Fleeting applied too much pressure.

Round 3 - Fire/Lightning. This time my opponent was the first player on board, with a bad hand making their only play be a Gilgamesh on turn 1. Having no Al-Cid to hand to punish a 1st turn forward, the Gilgamesh was able to deal 6 damage on it’s own before being answered. After that I had stabilised thus making the game rather simple. Game 2, both players had backups, however, thanks to a well timed Genesis top deck, the pressure applied by Genesis + Red Mage forced my opponent to make several tough choices, ultimately leading to a situation whereby they had 0 cards in hand while I still had plenty.

Round 4 - Ice/Lightning. Another Exdeath player, however, this deck had 0 backups. The game I won, I don’t remember very clearly, however, I remember how I lost the other two. One game, I needed to play a Cid Raines, however, it was already in the break zone. The other, my opening hand was Al-Cid, Al-Cid, Onion Knight, Rygdea and Devout. So, going second I kept that hand. As his play is 100% to play a forward Al-Cid is a premium card. If the forward is Fleeting Flash, I can simply play the Devout then Al-Cid the next forward. He started with a Fleeting Flash, as expected. However, my draw for turn consisted of 2 copies of Exdeath. Making the Devout unplayable. So I played the Exdeath, despite having no Manakin. His response was to play a Genesis on my Exdeath and get in for another point of damage. At this point, my hand consisted of Devout, Al-Cid, Onion Knight. My draws for turn were a Mog (XIII-2) and a Summoner. This meant that Al-Cid was still unplayable. After that the game was lost. The mistakes made there, I should not have discarded the Rygdea, and instead should have discarded the Devout. As I never want to play that card in this matchup.

Round 5 - Wind/Water. Game 1 - I apply a lot of pressure with an early Al-Cid + Onion Knight. However, once again I end up in a situation whereby Exdeath is my only playable forward and there is no Manakin in my hand to complement it. Despite playing a 6 mana Black Belt, the deck still went the distance. Game 2, I draw weak, the opponent hits a strong curve. I get crushed. Game 3, I open Exdeath + Fleeting Flash and have another Fleeting Flash for followup. He crumbled under the pressure.

Top 8

Round 1 - Ice/Earth. Game 1, I played Exdeath + Fleeting. It got Shantotto’d. I felt sad. Game 2, went to 4 backups, played a game of FFTCG instead of Forward Simulator. Went well. Game 3, I tried a similar approach. However, Exdeath once against decided he wanted to turn up in my hand as the only playable forward with no Manakin. This time, he didn’t go the distance as a 6 mana Black Belt.

Round 2 - Ice/Lightning. This was the streamed rescue match. Played Forward Simulator. Drew Exdeath with Manakins a lot. I got colour stuck in game 2 and that cost me the game, however, games 1+3 went a lot smoother. With Exdeath + Fleeting in game 1 going the distance vs his Exdeath + Semblance of a Gunslinger. And in game 3 we both played Fleeting Flash on turn 1, however, mine was followed up with Exdeath + Capricious whereas his was followed up with a Gilgamesh.

The Deck

This deck was made by the 2nd place finisher at Euroes. The same 50 cards were played by 3 of us at the event. Essentially the deck’s filled with even costed cards, and plays really well off of 0/2/4 backups. Hitting a single backup or 3 backups is pretty pointless as the CP will just be floated every turn. The deck has Goons for when it’s going second onto the board and Exdeath for when it’s going first onto the board. Then all of the good supporting cards at 3 (Amon, Genesis, Odin). 1 copy of Cid Raines made it’s way into the deck in order to have some way of interacting with dull forwards. Same with Zalera, The Dark Serph. Ideally this deck is never on the backfoot, however, for the times that the deck is on the backfoot cards like those are needed. 2 copies of Shiva, I would 100% bump that card up to 3. That card was disgusting all day, many people lost to top decked Shivas and the other Exdeath player actually managed to lose in the finals to a Shiva.

Final Thoughts

I’m very happy to have made worlds. My route there has been a particularly long one. However, at every step (minus Nationals #1, three guesses as to why I didn’t top 4 that event), Cid Raines has been there making the journey less painful. The format for worlds is also a breath of fresh air. Due to Nationals #2, Euroes and Worlds all taking place during Opus 3, a new format adds something exciting to the game making me look forward to worlds even more.

TL;DR Cid Raines is taking me to Worlds
