Noninvasive Bioimpedance Strategies From the Point of view of Distant Overseeing throughout Heart Failing.

Within this complex, metformin is double protonated along with served as counter ion. The medicinal properties of those ingredients had been researched within vitro against normal Gram-positive and also Gram-negative microbe traces. The actual findings established that vanadium(Intravenous) complexes had the superior medicinal actions compared to story thiourea types and also vanadium(Versus) sophisticated in opposition to almost all Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbial strains. (H) 2015 Elsevier Incorporated. Most privileges reserved.Your device regarding diatom locomotion has become commonly reviewed but nevertheless continues to be a new speculation. There are numerous in question factors on the current style proposed through Edgar, and several from the seen phenomena can't be entirely spelled out with that model. On this cardstock, many of us undertook in depth research of cell houses, locomotion, released mucilage, as well as rounding about deformation for a benthic pennate diatom Navicula types. According to these kind of broad facts, a current locomotion design will be recommended. For Navicula sp., locomotion can be recognized via several pseudopods or stalks protruded out of your frustules. The actual bond can be achieved as a result of pull-off of 1 pseudopod as well as stalk in the substratum by way of extracellular polymeric ingredients. Along with the positive stress will be made to be able to equilibrium the actual bond because of the push-down of someone else pseudopod as well as stalk on the substratum. Due to good force, scrubbing is produced, acting as a motivator associated with locomotion, and the other pseudopod or stalk can easily detachment from your substratum, resulting in the locomotion. Furthermore, this model Dubermatinib research buy will be validated through the pressure examination which enable it to greater describe witnessed phenomena. This particular updated style provides a manuscript aspect upon underwater locomotion method, consequently can be handy in terms of man-made under water locomotion products.Epigenomic markers can identify cancer subtypes, yet few programs can accommodate formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumour cells.

"Of course," Hongjoong realized.

"The Roman god Mercury," said Celestia. "The messenger and god of travelers. He's the god of other things, but mainly the first two."

"So he's like Hermes," Dahae said.

"Yes, but the Romans basically copied Greece when it came to mythology," Celestia joked.

"What does the symbol have to do with Mercury?" San asked.

Somehow, Celestia was annoyed by her husband's comment, and shot him a look. "The most notable symbols for Mercury are the shoes with wings," she snapped, "or, in this current situation, a winged staff. It's the winged staff symbols we have to follow."

San just nodded. He knew his sweet wife wouldn't normally act like this. They had known each other since they were children, and San knew that Celestia was slow to anger. She has always been a sweetheart and would never hurt a fly.

Hormones, he thought.

"Looks like we're going left," the captain said after a moment of awkward silence. "We follow Mercury."

Like a mother goose with her little ducklings, Hongjoong led his team down the dark tunnel, this time the ground a little harder to walk on, and the path began to twist and turn. San worried about his wife falling, so he remained close behind her despite her just having snapped at him. They came across three or four more divided passageways, one of them splitting into six paths at one point; but the crew kept going down paths marked by the staff symbol.

After walking down some steps, a noise echoed off the walls, causing them to stop in their tracks. Voices.

"There must be tours going on above us," Dahae guessed.

San checked his map again and pinpointed where they were. "We're very close."

"You think they can hear us?" Mingi asked as everyone continued walking.

"Not if we keep our voices down," Hongjoong said.

"Plus, the Hypogeum is closed off to the general public," Celestia added. "They can only look at it from a bridge over it."

"And the map leads us right beneath the Hypogeum."

"Underneath the underneath."

"What's that?" Grace-Anne pointed out something.

Up ahead was another fork in the catacombs, but this time, a faint pale glow could be seen down one of them. Dahae checked the wall over it to make sure there was a symbol engraved, and sure enough they were to follow the light. One by one they turned off their flashlights and relied on the light to guide them.

The smell was now stronger, but nothing overwhelmingly horrid.

Soon, they approached an archway that separated the tunnel from a large stonewalled room. It was still dark, but a large slit in the tall ceiling provided enough light for the crew to spot something sparkling in the dark brown wall opposite them. The only separating between them and the diamond piece was a stone bridge with every other one discolored.

Hongjoong nearly stepped on one when Grace-Anne stopped him.

"What?" he asked.

Grace-Anne looked back down at the stones, picked up a loose rock by Yunho's foot, and tossed it onto one of the discolored stones. Immediately, it moved down about an inch, and an arrow shot out from one side to other faster than lightning.

"Don't say I didn't warn you," she said, "but you may wanna take a look down below."

She was pointing to where the room dropped about twenty feet around them and the bridge. When everyone else looked over, the smell finally made sense. To their horror, piles of dry human skeletons littered the floor beneath them. Each one had some sort of stick poking out from various body parts. Both the sight and smell triggered Celestia's nausea, and San followed her back down the path to a different one for her to release everything that was firing up her throat.

"What kind of Indiana Jones movie did we walk into?" Dinah complained. "If we all try to make it across without stepping on the certain stones, we'd all be dead."

The captain knew it wouldn't be too terrible, but he didn't want to risk losing his whole crew all at once. Even if they did get across unscathed, none of them knew how to dislodge the diamond piece from the wall if it was wedged in there really well. Then, he remembered something. He turned to Grace-Anne.

"Since you're our Geologist, do you think you can get across and get the diamond?" he requested.

With a confident smile beneath her mask, she nodded.

Not only did Grace-Anne geodes, gems, and other matter of geology, but she also learned about jewel thieves and how they would use their own tactics in their stealing. Of course, none of the crew condoned it, but it did come in handy once in a while on their quests.

Slipping off her backpack, she gave it to Seonghwa to hold. She opened it up and pulled out a small pouch and her gloves. As she stepped up to the first stone, she slipped on her gloves and wrapped the pouch around her waist.

"Now or never," she whispered to herself.

"Be careful, Grace-Anne," Seonghwa warned.

Focus took over her thoughts while the rest of the crew held their breaths. When she stepped on the first stone and examined the other ones, it clicked in her mind that it was some weird game of hopscotch. However, she still had to be careful. She could lose her balance at any given moment.

Death over a game of hopscotch? She thought. That's a new one.

As soon as she was about five feet away from the other stone platform, a few discolored ones seemed to be blocking her way. As much as she hated it, she would have to take the leap. Taking a deep breath, she got into a lunging position and threw herself over the stones and tumbled onto the platform without triggering any arrows.

The rest of the crew cheered as San brought Celestia back from her nausea spell.

Grace-Anne brushed herself off and stepped up to the stone wall. The diamond piece was stuck in there, but it was easy enough access to release it. In her pouch she held a glass replica of the piece she had made prior to arriving. In her head she counted to three, and within a split second she had swapped the diamond with the diamond-shaped glass.

"Got it," she called back to them.

"Alright, we're out of here," cheered Hongjoong as Grace-Anne placed the piece in her pouch and sprint-leaped back to them.

Something metallic dropped onto one of the regular stones in front of them. Seonghwa leaned as far as he could to examine it. The object was spherical and as big as a grapefruit, and it had a blinking red light on it. With each blink, a clicking noise sounded. Another one fell through the open slit. Then another. Then another.

"What's happen-" Phoebe began.

"BOMBS!" Hongjoong screamed.

The crew immediately sprinted like jackrabbits as more and more of what they now knew as grenades were falling into the room. Yeosang ran ahead of them as they traveled back the path they came, keeping a keen eye on the symbol; and San was carrying Celestia as she couldn't run as fast. In the distance behind them, they heard rumbling which caused some of the rocks around them to crumble around them.

"They're going off!" Dahae squealed.

"It's way behind us! We'll be fine!" Dinah shouted back.

However, the eruptions seemed to be getting closer. The cold air was now starting to heat up. An orange glow seemed to be growing behind them. Fire was chasing them, and if they didn't get out fast, they were done for good.

Finally, they reached the entrance, but to the crew's horror, the lid had somehow been shut. Yeosang wasted no time, using every bit of strength he had to push the lid open. The lid opened successfully, and he dashed out of the entrance. The crew seemed to jackrabbit leap out of there just in the nick of time as they ran back the way they came. Feeling the earth beneath their feet rattle wildly, everyone lost their balance as the fire roared a demon-like eruption. Ash and hot debris began to fall down, and the crew took cover by getting into fetal position.

The captain could tell that possibly much bigger ones had replaced the smaller grenades. No little trigger could have set off something so big.

"When I tell you to run," Hongjoong commanded loudly, "run to the HALA, and board it as quickly as possible."

Another explosion, and Hongjoong waited until it began to settle before screaming, "GO!"

Like roadrunners, the crew scrambled to their feet and dashed towards the direction of opening. Celestia struggled a little, but Dahae grabbed her by the hand and held onto it to encourage her to keep going.

Hongjoong pulled out his communicator and radioed Jongho, and the youngest crew member immediately answered.

"Jongho, start the ship now," he commanded. "We've got the diamond piece, and we're leaving now."

"I heard the explosion, and I started the engines," Jongho reported. "I'll open the door for all of you to enter."

"We'll be there shortly."

He stuffed the communicator in his pocket and kept running, never looking back.

They were about twenty feet away from the opening when San felt something sharp and hot pierce the right side of his back, and he cried out in pain as it burned. The impact knocked him to the ground, but Wooyoung was quick to pick him up and fireman carry him back to the open area.

"SAN!" Celestia screamed.

"I've got him!" Wooyoung reassured her.

"Just keep running, baby!" San encouraged her with one last breath before passing out.

I'm putting another OC of mine that I could put into MM, I guess she'll be like Tanya? But she actually belongs to an original story

The name's Sam (yeah pretty original right?)

Really big feral Lady, likes being a bounty Hunter, literally it's the only work she could maintain without being fired in less than a week and it's probably bc she is her own boss. putting her build body to exercise chasing outlaws is actually pretty handy for her and doesn't sweats on it

She always felt like she didn't fit anywhere so that's why getting out the city and being exactly in nowhere was a really new and fresh air. she just likes being free, alone and useful on her own way.

Her moral compas is kinda chaotic, she knows laws aren't perfectly fair, she knows people are worse, and not everyone with a bounty on their heads probably deserves it, but it'll really depend on her mood and the total amount of gems someones worth to perhaps, being forgiven

Always tries to remain neutral, she isn't good or bad, she is free, she's herself

Has been so used to being a "lonely wolf" (yeah ikr) that doesn't speaks at all, is really comunicative with her hands and actually knows sign language, but for normal people just makes signs on her way. She also doesn't likes to team up.

Even tho, she likes kids! She's a really gentle beast once you know her, with a big and warm heart, if you don't have a bounty on your head ofc, but that's kind of normal for all bounty Hunters

If y'all want to know more abt random ocs I'll post them more often, I have 173 at least so there's plenty to go around lol

FOWL Facets- Chapter 10

Summary: Steelbeak tells the girls he’s alive, and Domino tells everyone what he has planned for the future.

Notes: Ah, a short, sweet chapter to close out this emotional rollercoaster of a story. Hope you guys enjoyed it ^^

-First Chapter-

When arriving back in the main entryway, Steelbeak is hardly surprised to find a pair of striped arms wrapping around him from his shoulders to his ankles like a pair of snakes and pulling him right up to an overly-excited spinel hanging from the ceiling by her legs.

“Steely, you did it!” Loony stretches her neck and turns her head so that she’s looking at Steelbeak right-side up. “You made Dommy’s bad feelings go down!”

Steelbeak shrugs with one of his usual arrogant smirks. “Eh, what can I say? I’m just THAT friggin’ good.” After a minute, though, his face changes to a more strained smile. “Hey, Loons?”

“Yeah?” The stretchy spinel tilts her head curiously, still smiling brightly at him.

“Be a doll an’ put me down, would ya?” His eyes flick poignantly towards the floor a couple feet below.

Loony suddenly realizes that she is, in fact, still keeping the melanite suspended mid-air and gives him an apologetic smile. “Whoopsie-doodles! Sorry, Steely!” She sets him back down and unwraps her arms from around him.

“Don’t worry ‘bout it, stretch- no harm done.” He tells her while fixing his suit.

“Surprisingly.” A voice from the lounging area beside him says.

Turning his head, to get a better look, Steelbeak is even less surprised to see Gandra reclined back on one of the benches while idly scrolling through something on a projected hologram-screen coming from the watch on her wrist. “And what’s that supposed t’ mean?”

“That you’re still alive.” The star-sapphire replies bluntly. “I’m surprised you made it through that in one piece.”

“Guess I’m just lucky.” Steelbeak’s eyes narrow at the other chicken, before he regains his earlier smirk. “Either that or SOMEONE’S lost her touch.” Oh, how he loves that challenging and frustrated glare he can always draw out when he pushes her buttons just right. “Somethin’ wrong, stardust?” He asks with the fakest sounding attempt at sympathy in the universe. “Hey, you ain’t lookin’ too happy there, toots. Shouldn’t we be celebratin’? I mean, it’s not like you really WANTED me gone, right?”

Gandra rolls her eyes at his taunting and makes her screen bigger to block out his smug face. “Think I’d celebrate more if you’d actually kicked the bucket..”

“So sorry t’ disappoint ya, Gee, but goin’ down that easy ain’t exactly my style.” The only thing Steelbeak enjoys more than teasing the star-sapphire for her height is calling her out on the extremely rare occasions where her predictions end up being off- it’s one of his favorite pastimes.

His laughter is interrupted by a voice too deep to be Gandra’s. “No, but being loud enough to shake the walls certainly is.” Turning to look at the hall he’d come in through earlier, Steelbeak sees Domino entering the main room as well.

“DOMMY!” Loony drops down from the ceiling next to the obsidian, arms ready to wrap him up in an excited hug. She stops just an inch shy, however, when a single black hand is raised in a silent request. “Oopsies!” Her arms instantly stop and retract before they even have a chance to grab the other gem. “Sorry, Dommy..”

Domino gives her a half-smile and shakes his head. “It’s fine, Loony..just..not right now, okay? Maybe later.” After receiving a happy and agreeable nod in return, Domino redirects his attention to the room as a whole, his demeanor shifting into something far more serious. “F.O.W.L. has been compromised by a Diamond loyalist.”

“If it’s true, then that’s a pretty big deal.” The screen in front of Gandra vanishes as she sits up properly. “Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Domino answers definitively. “I always thought it was odd that none of my requests for information were ever answered or even followed up- if anything, there should have at least been a negative reply- but we were always sent out on long-term missions immediately following a request, most likely to distract me from how much time had passed. If it had happened only once or twice, it could have been blamed on coincidence, or carelessness, or a report falling through the system’s cracks..but I’ve submitted more than eight hundred requests over the years and have never ONCE received an acknowledgement on it.” He shakes his head, the look on his face showing his frustration. “At that point, it’s impossible to call it an accident: Someone within F.O.W.L.- someone very high up in the chain of command- has been intercepting my requests because they KNOW the truth about what happened and are trying to keep people from finding out.”

“So,” His partner looks down at him with a raised brow. “Whattaya wanna do ‘bout it, Deedee?”

“I’m going to find out who that person is and remove him, and any of his co-conspirators, from F.O.W.L. personally.” Domino reigns in the deadly intent of his voice so that he can speak to his team calmly once again. “It won’t be easy…and, if I’m not careful, I could be branded as a traitor, or worse..but that’s a risk I’m willing to take. I’ll take one of the back-up pod-ships and try to keep in contact with you as much as possible with updates on my location and any information I find.” He looks at the assortment of dark gems in the room with him, at the gems who’d become his team, his family, over the past few thousand years, knowing that, this time, he couldn’t ask them to-

“Count me in!” A cheerful voice to his left says.

Domino looks beside himself to see Loony giving him a confident smile. “Loony, you can’t-”

“We’re a packaged deal, right?” The smile on Loony’s face is as bright as ever, but the softness of her voice and the look in her eyes are far more meaningful. “Where you go, I go- that’s the rule, remember?”

Domino tries to fight the smile forming on his own beak, but it’s practically impossible. He’s not surprised at all to have his own words thrown back at him in such a supportive way. After all, what else would he expect from the gem who was practically a sister to him?

“Guess I’m in, too.” To Domino’s surprise, he sees Gandra get up from her seat and look at him with an indifferent roll of her eyes- the effect greatly diminished by the small smile on her face. “If White Diamond messes things up with F.O.W.L., where else am I gonna go when I’m bored?”

He knows the star-sapphire is just putting up a front. While she’s still the newest member of the crew, she clearly enjoys her spot on the team and the freedom it offers her. Domino and Steelbeak may still be quietly keeping to their promise of seeing anyone else on the ship besides themselves and Loony as expendable, but they knew that Gandra was handy to have around and, given that they scouted her and invited her to join F.O.W.L. themselves, they knew she was more trustworthy than some of the agency’s more senior members.

“Three of you crammed int’ one teeny tiny pod? That’s gonna be a pain.” Domino looks to his other side to see Steelbeak grinning down at him. “Tell ya what, short fuse- why don’t ya just stay here and we ALL take the Black Iron Comet? It’d be roomier AND faster.”

Domino stares up at the melanite before, with a fondly exasperated sigh, he closes his eyes and shakes his head, unable to keep the equally fond smile off of his face. He should have seen that coming. Steelbeak’s been his partner for more than eight and a half thousand years now. Time after time the melanite has proven how far he’s willing to go for him and has more than earned his trust- the incident in his room just a few minutes ago serving as yet another prime example of his partner’s loyalty.

“I suppose you do have a point.” He looks to each gem in the room as he speaks, his voice serious but far less grave than it had been a minute ago. “From now on, we’ll need to be prepared for anything. We’ll have to be extremely careful with who we trust- any information we find stays with us until we know for sure whom we can trust within F.O.W.L. and who we cannot. We’ll also need to stick together to avoid being caught by the enemy- no going off on our own anymore.” He briefly side-eyes one gem in particular after that comment, the rooster rolling his eyes but nodding in agreement at the subtle jab regarding his recent capture. “Now,” He gives the gems around him a confident smirk. “Let’s show those traitors what happens when you double-cross F.O.W.L.”

The chorus of agreeing cheers around him makes Domino’s confidence in their future grow ten-fold. After all, with a team this good backing him up, not even the Diamonds will stand a chance.

<-Previous Chapter

End Notes: And there we have it- an end to one story, but the beginning of a new one. This group was SO much fun to write and I definitely have plans to do more with all of them in the future after I get the main universe more developed. I’m thinking of having the FOWL Facets story run as a sort of side-story to the Fearsome Facets universe that will occasionally cross over with the FOWL group tracking down the origins of the cluster before everyone comes together in the big series finale.

Wanted to give another HUGE thank you to both @eleanorose123 / @thefriendlyfour and @deldraws19 for allowing me to write this story using their awesome OC’s! They’re wonderful and I look forward to doing so much more with them later on ^^

it just hit me that i don’t really have any OCs, off the top of my head, that can serve the role of a original character that people go to for medical or biological concerns.

true i HAVE scientist/gadgeter characters but they’re not medical specialists; Hivluk is a super engineer, Sekhma is a psychologist... if i HAVE any doctors specifically in my roster, I don’t know of it. This is actually interfering with some of my story ideas since I need a character to explain these things, so here’s a few ideas:

1. Use a pokemon trainer OC i made up for a private RP; I will eventually introduce her properly anyway, so why not have her be an actual doctor with an expertise in meta-biology as well? A super busty and mega-thicc Hawaiian/Alolan professor with a calm, professional and extremely detached attitude.

2. Create a new OC specifically for this purpose; I have one on mind to cover a few other areas I don’t really fhave filled. I’m thinking of an asari doctor, of average size, with MASSIVE curves (huge boobs, huge butt, a big belly?). She’s both a medical specialist and xenophile, and a very sweet, rather passive person who is top prey material; I don’t have any gal OCs who are the prey, so she’d make an excellent focus for that. (Possibly a very indulgent personality?)

3. Retool an already existing OC, ideally one who doesn’t really have a defined character, and give them medical knowledge. Some possibilities include Lilisheb (who, given her long life, could well pick up medical skills with ease) or Spherite of my Gem OCs, who doesn’t really have much established character at this point. (She would also be handy to make an average-sized OC; most of my characters are either super tall or tiny, with no inbetween.)

What Lurks In The Dark // Alec Lightwood X OC

Disclamer - Chapters one

Chapter Two -Lightwoods and Weapons

I turned abruptly and saw Alec standing very close behind me. I rolled my eyes and held my hands up in surrender.

"Where's your sister?"

"I don't know! I don't keep twenty-four-seven tabs on her," I muttered, aggravated.

"Sorry. Do you want me to show you how to use some of these?" He asked, pointing towards the wall of weapons. I looked up at him, astonished, and then narrowed my eyes.

"Why are you being nice to me?" I asked him suspiciously.

"I'm not being nice I'm making sure you don't get the rest of us killed because you don't know how to handle a weapon," he smirked. I chuckled,

"Fair enough." He took down two seraph blades, a range of daggers and knives, and the beautiful bow and arrows. He directed me to the training room floor and laid them out, crouching beside them.

"I assume by now you know what this one is?" he pointed to the seraph blade and looked up at me. I nodded, and he continued,

"Okay we'll start with this one then." He handed me one and it glowed luminously at my touch.

"Now, it knows you're a Shadowhunter, so it wants to respond. But you have to be firm with it. Let it know whose boss." He demonstrated moving his through the air and gestured for me to copy him.

"There. You make yourself a part of it and it a part of you." He showed me another, more complex move, and I mirrored him.

"The blade never dims. It's saying you belong together." I looked at him curiously, still gracefully slicing the air,

"How does it know?" He watched me naturally take to the blade.

"Because your part angel, Breeanna Fray, like all Shadowhunters - it can sense it in your blood." He swiftly moved, as if to attack me, and I automatically swung my blade up to block him. He looked surprised, but pleased,

"Good, you're a fast learner." He spun around and dropped his aim, going for my leg but again my blade met his. His strikes were coming faster, the clash of the metal ringing through room and echoing off the walls. He moved forwards rapidly, forcing me to take step after step backwards, until he finally managed to knock my weapon out of my hands and back me into the wall, holding his brightly lit blade to my throat.

"Not bad for your first time," He grinned, withdrawing and offering me my seraph blade back. We practiced with the seraph blades for a little while longer. Alec teaching me the best moves for defence and how to attack successfully, before he decided to move on and try another weapon.

"Okay, this is a throwing knife, very handy if you need to maintain distance, but tricky to get the hang of. You don't want to be worrying about getting into a good stance or trying for too long to take aim." In one flawless motion, he turned around and threw the knife hard against the left target on the wall. Bullseye. He turned back to me, handing me a knife.

"All right, you want to get the right grip on the blade for a clean release." He adjusted my hand around the knife then came around and stood to the back of me. He showed me the arm movement slowly then told me to try it on the right target. I was amazed at how smooth it felt and the sharp ringing sound it made as the blade left my hand. I was even more amazed when it hit the target. Dead centre.

"What the...?" Alec muttered, stunned.

"Well then, uh, again?" I threw knife after knife, in different styles, using different techniques. I never missed. Not once.

"All right then... I guess we can try something else now," Alec handed me a dagger,

"A kindjal - very rare, but, if you can use one, very dangerous. Small enough to carry around undetected, large enough for hand to hand combat, and can be thrown if needed." After giving me the run down on the weapon, I turned it over in my hand. It was a beautiful weapon with a silver carved hilt encrusted with enchanting blue stones. I looked over to see that Alec was about to pick up an identical one.

"They come in pairs, like these. These kinds of weapons don't respond to everybody, so they may not respond. Even if they do, the pair will only respond fully if both are being used by the same person," He explained, then as an afterthought he added,

"or I suppose a parabatai or married pair could use one each as their bond makes them a part of each other."

"Parabatai?" I asked. Alec stopped and looked at me.

"Parabatai is a pair of Nephilim warriors who fight together as lifelong partners, bound together by oath. Their bond is not reflected only in their closeness and willingness to lay down their lives for one another, but also as sworn in front of the Council. Not all Shadowhunters are required to have parabatai; it is actually less common to have them. A Shadowhunter has only until eighteen to find and choose a parabatai; once older than that, the ritual is no longer available to them," he explained. I nodded, taking it in.

"Okay."

"What, not going to ask if I have one? Who it is?" he asked sceptically. I shrugged,

"I figured it's not my business and if you wanted to tell me you would've." He nodded, accepting my answer with a small smile, probably grateful that I wasn't as nosey as Clary. He bent down to pick up the twin dagger and he nearly dropped it out of shock when the gems glowed at his touch. He turned quickly to inspect mine too, which was also glowing, releasing a warm tingle of electricity up my arm. I didn't find any of this strange because I didn't know what it meant so I waited quietly for Alec to say something. He recomposed himself but didn't mention it.

"It's a lot like using a seraph blade but you need to be quicker as it's much easier to mess up and get hurt with one of these." I replicated his actions, learning new combinations and how to attack and defend close up - much closer than with a seraph blade.

"It would be extremely unlikely that your opponent would have a pair of kindjal, so I'll be using my seraph blade." I nodded. He put down the twin dagger and the warmth radiating from mine stopped, and the glow dulled.

"We'll start you with just one, then I'll teach you how to use both at the same time," he answered my questioning look. He was right in saying it was much harder to fight with, but it guided me in a way, led me to block a strike I didn't even see coming. When Alec gave me the second one, it reacted to his touch again, and he hurriedly handed it over to me, where this time the warmth and bright glow remained because I had both. It was the same feeling as when I had one and Alec had the other. We moved on fairly quickly as I got the hang of them quite fast. He explained that that was because they responded to me and that's why it was glowing. Finally, he reached for the bow.

"I personally use a bow as my weapon of choice, but it can be very difficult to learn, so don't worry if you don't get it straight away," he said. He walked back over to the armoury and returned with another bow and set of arrows,

"This one's mine." He loaded his bow and in one fluid motion, shot the arrow straight into the centre of the target. He made it look effortless and he burst into laughter when I hit nowhere near the target.

"your standing wrong." He wrapped his arms around me adjusting my grip on the bow. A blush spread across my face and I couldn't hide it. He then kicked my feet into a position shoulder width apart.

"Now pull back the bow string." He whispered with his hands still on mine.

"Breath and release." He finished letting go of my hands. A smirk crept onto his face when I hit directly next to his arrow, our eyes locked as I practically jumped up and down in joy. Silence fell between us, and Alec cleared his throat

"Why don't we try something else." Alec suggested, I thought that the bow was the last of them, but he pulled out what looked like a thin, silver belt. I furrowed my eyebrows, but he held a finger up telling me to wait. He cracked the belt like a whip and it snapped into a black and silver Bo staff.

"Electrum laced," he informed me.

"Sweet," I grinned. He explained to me how to use it, showing me a couple of moves before we started to practice against each other. Alec grabbed a regular metal staff. I managed to get Alec pinned down, the blade at the end of my staff at his throat. I'd suddenly switched from defence to offence, which had caught him off guard. I used his moment of hesitation to attack, pushing him back and moving so quickly that he barely had time to react and block. I feigned for a headshot and as he lifted his staff to block it, I ducked down and swiped at the back of his legs, he countered my attack turning it against me knocking me off my feet. He was so shocked that I had nearly beat him, the face he made was priceless and I couldn't help it, I laughed. I heard slow clapping from behind me and tilted my head to see Jace walking up the steps towards us.

"Impressive," he said with a grin.

"Thanks," Alec held his hand out for me, I grabbed it and he pulled me up.

"I've got Simon down there, he said he wants to talk to you, Izzy went to see Clary," Jace nodded back to where he came from and I could see Simon, standing there awkwardly.

"All right, we'll put this stuff away and then I'll come down," I waved my hand at the weapons Alec and I had lying around, not willing to leave it all for the Lightwood to clean up. Jace nodded and jogged back down to Simon before he could touch or break anything.

"Thank you, Alec," I said as we collected the things we used. He nodded at me. We carried the various blades back to the wall and started stacking them quietly. Suddenly Alec spoke.

"It's Jace."

"What?" I turned to look at him and found him looking down at me.

"My parabatai. Its Jace." I smiled at the sudden trust he had in me, but the distraction caused me to drop one of the seraph blades, and I pointlessly attempted to catch it Alec pulling my arm back just enough that the blade only just sliced the edge of my finger.

"ow shit." Alec did something I would never expect, he grabbed my cut finger and placed it in his mouth. Moving his tongue gently around my finger. Alec removed my no longer bleeding finger blood and abruptly turn to place the weapons onto the wall.

Hope you enjoy Chapter Two

Rules of the Rp

Im gonna make these quick and easy I'm a pretty relaxed person.

1. Dont god mod

This should be explination in its self. Its not fun when you do this for either of us.. so just dont.

2. How I interact with people

So I am a semi-selective blog because I havent yet gotten a reason why i should be selective. So dont be that person who changes that. I am also a very shy mun so if we are mutuals and I havent started interactions with you its because I am shy. If anything drop me a starter in my inbox or plot something with me. That being said, I do have the right to not accept inboxes. This can be due to multiple things. I am not a mutuals only blog yet either.

3. Smut/ Shipping stuff

I am okay with this stuff. If its smut please dont lie about being 18. Thats just very awkward for me. But hey if youre 18 plus and ship us *wink wink* *nod nod* ask because I may be okay with a fluffy rp vs sex. And please warn me if that is your intention. Just like unsolicited dick pics. Its awkward for your muse to try to sex mine up. But when in douby ask me. Just if its smut thats reserved for few ships and may be a mutuals only thing for 18+. Smut will also be tagged and under a read more option. Or in dms.

4. Ocs

I am okay with them. Just need an about page and some additional info if needed. Im a realky relaxed mun about this. Im not gonna toss you out because you want to be a gem no one knows ;).

5. Crossovers or alternate universes

HECK YEAH

Just make sure i know the universe/ what you wanna cross over very well so i dont mess it up. With crossovers thats where plotting really comes in handy. Dont be afraid to approach me.

6. Triggers

I will tag triggers tis "tw" before the teigger. If i rp that certain thing.

7. Ooc shenanigans

Im a supershy mun but also a very chill person. I will converse with you through dms and stuff because im always up to chat. Discord and Snap chat however will be a mutuals only thing.

#rules #pink diamond rper #steven universe rp #just hmu tbh im really chill

Introducing the First Children OCs for My Kindergarten Spin-off, School Daze!

This is also because have nothing for Halloween. Keep in mind that they’re also in kindergarten, but have certain adult-like tweaks like the kids in the games. (Beware, this is a long post...)

Annabelle Brooks -

Nickname: Annie

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Pansexual

Age: 5

Personality: She is rough, cruel, and would stab you or smash your head in if you mess with her. Although, she’ll still be your friend if you do her a favor. She’s also a fan of knives as she gained a dependency on them. Even though she likes guy stuff more, she often likes girly stuff. Despite being overweight and a bit dumber than most, she still could tell if something’s wrong in the school and could easily win a fight with other kids.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dominic Meyers -

Nickname: Dom

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Pansexual

Age: 5

Personality: He is completely full of himself as he claims he’s the handsomest, nicest, and smartest boy in the whole school. However, he is the opposite of all those things. He can be fooled with realistic fake gems while saying poison isn’t vegan enough, (because he doesn’t even know what that means), and he wants his girlfriends to be mean to other boys for him. He’s also a player boy, as he has had 20 girlfriends in the past. Even though he likes girly stuff more, he often likes guy stuff. As long as his girlfriend is good to him, he gives her his respect and is still his friend if they break up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fifi Rivers -

Nickname: (none)

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Age: 5

Personality: She is the egotistical daughter of the first principal and the entitled cool kid, seeing as she doesn’t think most new kids are cool enough to talk to her yet. But if you help her out on some things, she will still be your friend. She would literally try to get revenge on anyone who wrongfully messes with people she cares about, (or what she thinks is wrongfully if you’re a certain pair of blonde twins). She’s a bit more clever than most (which would get her into smarter classes), even if she doesn’t look like it. She could sometimes be chill and collected, and depressed or angry other times. She would also steal things from her mother’s office, like a hall pass.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sadie Liu -

Nickname: (none)

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Lesbian (but there’s times when she isn’t)

Age: 5

Personality: She is the school merchant and hustler, able to give you certain things for a price and buy expensive things off of you as well. She does want to make friends as well as business partners, but she sadly doesn’t know how. She’s incredibly smart, being handy with chemistry and gadgets and already knowing how to read difficult things. If you mess with her (or cripple her if you’re the unnamed janitor), you will be blasted to bits. Her parents taught her about all different kinds of business deals, which is how she knows certain adult things and has her money-making skills. She has never admitted it, but Gal knows she’s more aware of rewinds than most, not as much as three other students.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jacob Sanders -

Nickname: Jake

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Bisexual (prefers girls more)

Age: 5

Personality: He is one of the most friendly and timid students in school. He is prone to becoming depressed more so than you think. His hair would often get in his eyes, so he was given the star hair clip by Twigs and the circle hair clip by Dominic before he became the prime target for the other boy’s bullying. He suspects that Fifi’s mother is responsible for his sister’s disappearance, but that also makes him an obstacle for the woman to watch over. He can tell if someone is up to something and would try to figure out what it is. Twigs has a crush on him, but he doesn’t feel the same way about her yet.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kendra Sanders -

Nickname: (none)

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Lesbian

Age: 5

Personality: She is one of the most friendly and timid students in school. Her personality is much like her brother’s, except she’s less like to get depressed and is more energetic and defensive. She was been used as test subject by Fifi’s mother for a few weeks, so she has gained more aggressive tendencies and a more carnivorous diet. She was Twigs’ friend before disappearing and still is. She’s aware of Twigs’ crush on her brother, but managed to keep a secret longer than anyone. Like her brother, she has keen sleuthing skills and is a literal junior detective. She has feelings for Gal after she helped save her.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lizzie Briar -

Nickname: Twigs

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual (prefers boys more)

Age: 5

Personality: She is the weirdest kid in the school. No one in the past except Kendra would be her friend, but Fifi’s mother gave her pills that would keep her from saying anything. She almost always speaks in third person. Somehow, only Gal knows what her real name is. She’s a bit self-conscious about that fact that she naturally looks like a combination of two characters from her favorite horror game “Doki Doki Algebra League.” She has a huge crush on Jacob. She is most likely part demon. Anyone who wants to be her friend has to succeed in her trials. Only she and Gal are the only ones fully aware of all the rewinds.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clara Peterson -

Nickname: Gal

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Age: 5

Personality: She is the main protagonist. Nobody knew her real name at first, so everyone just normally calls her “Gal” or “Kid.” She seems pretty calm and neutral, but she’s actually anxious or angry most of the time. She’s connected to the rewinds, but she doesn’t know how or why. She is possibly an alcoholic. She’s smart enough to figure out each mission or task she’s given. Overall, she is a sweet girl with a more powerful side. Due to the reversible bloodshed from the rewinds, she becomes everyone’s friend. She has a crush on Kendra, but is too nervous to confess to her. She legit befriended Twigs to cheer her up at first.

So I recognize now that I have over 100 subscribers! To celebrate this occasion we’ll take a quick look into how I used to make OCs for this project. There’s a handy little art program called Gemsona maker which has several options for Gem OCs, a program which can also fuse together your OCS. I used this to plan out a bunch of OC designs. They were always meant to be a rough concept for the original Gems that would inhabite the TCC Underground.

The five on the top left were meant to be homages to the five central characters in Puella Magi Madoka Magica. PMMM is a dark magical girl series with a lot of similarities to Steven Universe in regards to how magical girls worked. Coral and Amber were meant to be Bratty and Catty. Spinel was going to take the place of the River Person (a role which is uneeded due to how inter area transportation works). Moonstone was meant to be Shyren, and Sunstone Shyren’s sister. All of these are scrapped because they’ve been phased out in favor of more canon Gems. Moonstone and Sunstone are still a factor in this AU, but they have nothing to do with Madoka anymore and neither are in the same place in the current TCC story.

Before there were any canoical Beryl Gems I assigned the Beryl group as a merchant class. Some ideas die hard, so while it’s not the purpose of Beryls, most Beryls Steven will encounter are still selling stuff. An Aquamarine was meant to be the “Snowdin” shopkeeper, Emerald was Gerson, and Bixbite was Burgerpants. The rest are in the same roles I originally intended for them, though they were redesigned to match canon Aquamarine more closely.

Cymophane was meant to be Aaron and a Gem geared upon trickery and espionage. I just never figured out how her encounter went, so when the Ruby squad debuted in “Hit the Diamond” I gave the Aron role to Eyeball, then to Army.

Pyrope replaces well, Pyrope. There will still be a Gem with her name later, but the original concept of Pyrope was a Ruby/Pearl fusion. As we now know Ruby and Pearl make Rhodonite, she is a fusion of a Ruby and another Gem. My friend Anna has redone her design to reflect this. Black Pearl was meant to be the Pearl component of the fusion, while the Ruby was either Navy or Doc depending on the time period.

Twilight Topaz was redesigned by Anna and is a fusion of Moonstone and Sunstone. Amusingly since I dropped the PMMM inspired designs, I worked backward from Twilight Topaz to make the new Moonstone and Sunstone designs.

Once again Snowflake Obsidian has been redesigned by Anna, and has already appeared in the comic to replace Ice Cap. The central concept was that Snowflake would hide her beautiful long flowing hair underneath a hat far too small to hold it. Anna’s design captured that idea wonderfully. Amusingly this idea came before I decided to give Leggy her clothes fascination, so in the end I tied these ideas together.

Morganite was a design I was never quite happy with. Originally the idea was that all the Beryls had hexogonal hair to match the hexogonal structure of real life Beryl Gems. This was an idea that was conceptually better than it actually looked and Pine’s design looks much better for this character.

The Goshenite in this image still largely has the same role as originally intended but her design will match the one we see in Boreal Forest Village.

Crysoprase, as I imagine many have noticed, is largely the same as Nephrite. Both were always meant to be an uncorrupted Centipeetle. All evidence so far points to Centipeetle being Nephrite so I changed the name to match. Crysoprase is a Quartz variety, which matches her long hair. But I realized making the Boreal Forest Force all Quartzes seemed a bit narrow minded for Crystal Gem territory.

Crazy Lace Agate is another one that Anna has redesigned, and her design has led me to alter my plans for that particular encounter.

Onyx and Rock Crystal are a complicated topic because Anna redesigned the latter and not the former. As the two were always meant to be the two halves Fused Quartz, that partially altered the FQ’s design, even though she hadn’t even been aware of the connection between the two. They were always meant to be the Dogi.

Finally Tiger’s Eye. This one was largely redesigned because she looked far better in the Gemsona maker version than she did within the size limitations of an overworld sprite, and a within the color limitations of an UT battle sprite.

Keep posted and I’ll gather up some scrapped Anna designs to show you. These were generally not discarded because of low quality but because of changes to TCC brought on by the show’s canon.

pls tell me about your ocs

okkkkk uhhh ill try to not spoil but-

Blitzen is technically from Alayveon, however he was hatched in Brazil due to his mother fleeing Alayveon. He then proceeds to get persuaded by the government of Alayveon to have him back and take his role as an Elemental Dragon. (Elemental Dragons are Alayveons form of government, having different Dragons from different backgrounds create laws and watch over the land.) Blitzen is a half-dragon, he is half Aywire (electric dragon (i made up the name a while ago and it stuck) and Fruitdactyl. The two breeds are very close with both having the same large floppy ears and electric powers. The only difference is that Aywires have One set of ear and Fruitdactyls have two. OH and Fruitdactyls have a fluffy down covering their scales and have beaks.

Helix is a Firedrake and in their culture they are expected to grow out a plume of hair most Firedrakes have. According to him, his hair is the best. Helix may have a snappy personality but if he considers you a friend he WILL fight to the death for you. Helix was named after a pencil sharpener I had in 6th grade while I sat in my math class dying of boredom. Helix was originally MUCH more edgy with a dark blue skin and black hair with red on the ends. He also was just as evil as Falka.

Bolton (who is just an oc I use to draw and practice with) is based off of multiple people I know and have seen. Mostly not very nice people XD but Bolton is a nice bab he just puts up a front to seem tough! His name is a corruption and an inside joke shared with my friend but imnotsayinganythingmore!

Falka has a LOT of motives for wanting all Dragons dead, or at least some good ones in my opinion. He’s very hard to talk about without spoiling so lets just say hes VERY loyal. Falka was originally a creature with as many different animals jam packed into a design. He was the God of Discourse and Calamity but he’s been toned down because E D G E. I actually brought him back from the dead and remade him into a Griffin not so long ago. He has a voice I hear him as but I wont say who unless asked personally because said character looks A LOT like him despite me not taking inspiration from said character?? Idk its just a coincidence and I dont want people thinking I stole the character XD Falka is MUCH different than the character personality wise though despite looking like them.

Snek has a deep rooted hate for Humans but only because he finds them greedy and rude. Sneks gem is literally his heart. It gives him his power and is coveted by Falka due to its ability to give life and immortality. Sneks gem in his tummy is shaped like a necktie due to him having authority over Alayveon, and another small thing is that Falka and Sneks color scheme is flipped. Falka is mainly red with hints of gray and Snek has mainly grey with his gem being red.

Alayveon has had one(1) war and one rebellion. The war was between Dragons and Humans with a bit of Griffins. The war resulted in Falka realizing his goals and acting upon them and Snek becoming the king of Alayveon and setting the building blocks for the ED. The rebellion on the other end, was between Dragons and Griffins and resulted in Falka being put into a mirror realm far from Dragon-kind and Alayveon officially being isolated from most Human contact. The rebellion takes place about 5 years after the war. And Snek signed a treaty with the Griffins and they all have to live in the Northern parts of Alayveon with no exceptions after the rebellion too.

The main story takes place roughly (dont quote me on this) 18 years after the rebellion, And 23 years after the war. Alayveon has moved on from the damage and most structures have been rebuilt. Before the war, Humans actually built a lot of castles and houses that Dragons now inhabit!

The ED serves as a way of checks and balances, like the branches in U.S government but without the old farts. However, its not all checks and balances with the ED being tasked with taking down criminals personally. Each Element has an assigned partner based on their Element. This will be explored in the comic when I get to the part though because this is getting pretty long!

A character I have barely touched on, Axle fought in the war and rebellion. He is a tough cookie and has fought Falka one on one before and stood his ground until backup came.

Aquallis has an unusual job and abandons his Elemental Dragon job for it. He makes some bad choices but with the new job meets Suzy, his soon to be wife. He’s very passionate for science but loves Suzy more. He makes a lot of sacrifices and its up to you guys if he’s a redeemable derg.

Toby who hasnt been seen yet, is a big baby. I really love him as a character but I cant nail his design AT ALL. Soo he’s bffs with Dew, the Dragon of life and grass, But Toby, is the ED of Death and is in charge of soul collecting. Despite their jobs being opposites they are very good friends. Toby has the power to cry and effect those nearby with soul crushing sadness. This power comes in handy due to him not wanting to hurt anyone and its used to slow down the enemy whilst another ED(Dew) takes them down.

My personal favorite character is Arkozo! He is a Griffin who has been shunned by both Dragons and his own kind. He lives in an icy forest and has created a reputation for his appearance. He has a run in with Falka in fact, and was personally asked to join Falkas army. He turns this down. Probably. His brother, though they have NO similarities is Aypr. Aypr is the king of the Griffin territory and is a tyrant. The Griffins are suffering god help them. its cold, they have no help, the war left them crippled financially and theyre run by a crazy lunatic.

But! Thats all I would like to say about most of my characters! Thank you so much for asking too! I hope you enjoy this informationnn!!

Fuckton of OC questions: HM

Questions from @liaraliara‘s post here. Doing these for HM, will do more for other characters eventually, whether y’all want me to or not.

anyway so the prompt is clearly intended for, like, normal human OCs rather than murderous dragons, but let’s see where this goes

1. What’s their full name? Why was that chosen? Does it mean anything? H.M. Deshulian. The initials stand for [DATA REMOVED], although he’s rather sensitive about anyone he doesn’t fully trust knowing that. And by “sensitive” I mean “vicious and lethal.”

2. Do they have any titles? How did they get them? At least one town calls him the Green Reaper, which he’s rather proud of, but often times, much of his antics are attributed to Dzamie, a fact that annoys both of them.

3. Did they have a good childhood? What are fond memories they have of it? What’s a bad memory? Rather average for a dragon, actually. Instead of sparring with clutchmates or playfighting with his parents, he and Dzamie would hone their skills against each other - particularly useful, as it gave Dzamie experience against a real dragon, and HM experience against a dragonslayer’s style of fighting. Regardless, he certainly didn’t go hungry, and keeping the warm-blooded and soft-furred Dzamie around kept him comfy at night (the Katul eventually got used to being used like a mattress).

4. What is their relationship with their parents? What’s a good and bad memory with them? Did they know both parents? Has no clue who his father is or was. His mother is definitely dead; there is no need to go looking for her, especially if you’re a dragonslayer tracking a large bounty. He will eat anyone who claims to the contrary.

5. Do they have any siblings? What’s their names? What is their relationship with them? Has their relationship changed since they were kids to adults? Dzamie’s his half-brother. They’re very close, despite what seem like occasional attempts to kill the other. The two have gotten closer since childhood, owing in part to spending most of their lives around each other and also a mental link that they often forget about.

6. What were they like at school? Did they enjoy it? Did they finish? What level of higher education did they reach? What subjects did they enjoy? Which did they hate? HM associates “school” with dragonslayers, and thus doesn’t think too highly of it. He’s great at mechanical and electrical engineering, though. Not sure where he learned it.

7. Did they have lots of friends as a child? Did they keep any of their childhood friends into adulthood? He had approximately one friend, who happened to have spotted fur and a full set of dragonslaying gear. Other friends generally didn’t stay long or died. Being around either Deshulian is pretty dangerous, since one is a danger magnet and the other seems to seek out violence.

8. Did they have pets as a child? Do they have pets as an adult? Do they like animals? Occasionally jokes that he has a rambunctious cheetah as a pet. He likes animals! They’re usually very tasty!

9. Do animals like them? Do they get on well with animals? He tends to terrify animals. This means their instincts are functioning well.

10. Do they like children? Do children like them? Do they have or want any children? What would they be like as a parent? Or as a godparent/babysitter/ect? Can’t stand ‘em. Generally asks permission to maim and/or eat them after about 10 minutes of being around them, grants himself permission anyway after another 10.

11. Do they have any special diet requirements? Are they a vegetarian? Vegan? Have any allergies? 100% carnivore, ideally live, sapient food. Vegetables and grains are mildly poisonous, though a built-up resistance means they just taste bad and don’t do anything for him.

12. What is their favourite food? Dzamie.

13. What is their least favourite food? Porcupines. Far too much effort and risk for such a little reward.

14. Do they have any specific memories of food/a restaurant/meal? Nothing in particular.

15. Are they good at cooking? Do they enjoy it? What do others think of their cooking? He can stop meat from being raw, but he’s not good at making it appetizing for non-dragons.

16. Do they collect anything? What do they do with it? Where do they keep it? A nice hoard of shiny stuff - gold, gems, armor, stolen won weapons, and a few trophies with the nameplates removed that he refuses to tell anyone where he got them.

17. Do they like to take photos? What do they like to take photos of? Selfies? What do they do with their photos? Nah. Cameras are hard to work with his paws.

18. What’s their favourite genre of: books, music, tv shows, films, video games and anything else He likes racing games and Smash Bros, is a fan of what he nebulously describes as “flying music,” and most any movie or book with a dragon protagonist (at least, the ones where it’s not “yeah he’s a dragon but he spends 99% of the time looking human because reasons”).

19. What’s their least favourite genres? Death metal for music, rhythm games, and soap operas. For books, it’s a tie between romance novels and historical fiction and nonfiction.

20. Do they like musicals? Music in general? What do they do when they’re favourite song comes? Theaters rarely allow dragons, especially dragons with his body count track record. Music’s definitely more Dzamie’s thing, but he’s got a few songs he likes. When a song he enjoys comes on, he’ll usually at least move his head to the beat, fall in step with it, or time his flaps to the music.

21. Do they have a temper? Are they patient? What are they like when they do lose their temper? It’s pretty hard to make him truly lose his temper, but that rarely matters because “kill and possibly eat non-dragons in the immediate area” isn’t too high up on his reactions scale. When he does get truly angry, the best course of action is to either return the important hoard thing to him and pray for mercy, or to vacate the surrounding twenty miles or so immediately.

22. What are their favourite insults to use? What do they insult people for? Or do they prefer to bitch behind someone’s back? He doesn’t usually see a reason to insult people. He knows where he is on the food chain.

23. Do they have a good memory? Short term or long term? Are they good with names? Or faces? He can recall every bit of treasure in his hoard, and has also memorized pretty much all of the pseudo-laws he has to follow as per the agreement with the dragonslayers’ guild. Knows it better than most actual dragonslayers, really.

24. What is their sleeping pattern like? Do they snore? What do they like to sleep on? A soft or hard mattress? Generally diurnal. Does not snore, prefers to sleep on Dzamie, part of his hoard, or a firm mattress, in that order.

25. What do they find funny? Do they have a good sense of humour? Are they funny themselves? He finds dramatic irony to be the absolute best, particularly when it involves someone underestimating him or Dzamie.

26. How do they act when they’re happy? Do they sing? Dance? Hum? Or do they hide their emotions? He tends to hold his head higher, and his tail swishes back and forth, or taps whatever it’s resting on if he’s lying down - though he’s careful to make sure it lands with the flat of the blade, so as not to accidentally ruin whatever he’s sitting happily on.

27. What makes them sad? Do they cry regularly? Do they cry openly or hide it? What are they like they are sad? I don’t think he’s ever actually been sad, at least for long.

28. What is their biggest fear? What in general scares them? How do they act when they’re scared? Death, so generally only an angry Dzamie or Kenneth can actually scare him. Or a literal deity, or the few dragons who are significantly stronger than he is. When scared, he pretty much throws up all the defensive spells he knows and tries to escape the situation. Also scary: seeing Dzamie running very quickly away from, not towards, something. “Tactical retreat” means the cheetah annoyed someone strong; “flat out booking it” means everything in its path is is in peril.

29. What do they do when they find out someone else’s fear? Do they tease them? Or get very over protective? Tease or exploit, depending on if he likes that person.

30. Do they exercise? Regularly? Or only when forced? What do they act like pre-work out and post-work out? HM likes to fly and fight rampage/slaughter, but he’s not much for structured exercise. If someone does get him to work out, he’s generally grumpy going into it and ready to set several things and/or people on fire afterwards.

31. Do they drink? What are they like drunk? What are they like hungover? How do they act when other people are drunk or hungover? Kind or teasing? Nope. Drunk firebreathers are a bad idea.

32. What do they dress like? What sorta shops do they buy clothes from? Do they wear the fashion that they like? What do they wear to sleep? Do they wear makeup? What’s their hair like? He sometimes wears his wingblades, but for the most part he’s completely naked. Scales are handy.

33. What underwear do they wear? Boxers or briefs? Lacey? Comfy granny panties? Once more, quadrupedal dragons tend not to wear clothes.

34. What is their body type? How tall are they? Do they like their body? At his usual size, HM’s about 3′6″ at the shoulder, carrying his head just under 6′. If he undoes his size transformation (or it’s forcibly undone), he’s roughly two stories high. He’s very fond of every part of his body, especially his jaws (he has a very strong bite, and has paralytic saliva if he so chooses).

35. What’s their guilty pleasure? What is their totally unguilty pleasure? His guilty pleasure is letting Dzamie rub or scratch him in just the right places. He purrs for very few people. His unguilty pleasure is probably wanton destruction. Or eating Dzamie, though that involves significantly less fire.

36. What are they good at? What hobbies do they like? Can they sing? To quote TF2′s Spy, “your deadly skill is jogging? Mine is murdering people!” Though, to HM’s credit, he really just hunts a lot; most of his kills vanish down his throat. He’s definitely fond of the whole violence thing. He can sing, to an extent. He doesn’t have the best range, and he doesn’t really compare to a human or Katul singer, but he’s better than the average dragon.

37. Do they like to read? Are they a fast or slow reader? Do they like poetry? Fictional or non fiction? He’ll read short things if Dzamie suggests them, but is otherwise uninterested.

38. What do they admire in others? What talents do they wish they had? Strength and fighting ability (and taste, but he doesn’t envy that). He does wish he had the quick spellcrafting of Kenneth or Dzamie’s impressive range of abilities.

39. Do they like letters? Or prefer emails/messaging? Emails. He’s accidentally incinerated too many would-be important letters to be fond of them.

40. Do they like energy drinks? Coffee? Sugary food? Or can they naturally stay awake and alert? He sees energy drinks and stuff like that to be human things. Sweet things are nice, especially when his prey is covered in it, but a fine-tuned survival instinct keeps him as awake as he generally needs to be.

41. What’s their sexuality? What do they find attractive? Physically and mentally? What do they like/need in a relationship? Physically, 100% into dragonesses. Human women are a nice substitute, but he tends not to think highly of them (though, considering his baseline for humans is “food”...). He generally isn’t much for long-term relationships, though Dream is an exception - primarily by way of being more a friend-with-benefits than a romantic partner.

42. What are their goals? What would they sacrifice anything for? What is their secret ambition? His goal is to have a very big hoard, and possibly see if he can’t start a cult that ends up occasionally sacrificing a member to him or something. He’d sacrifice anything but Dzamie’s life to preserve his own, and anything but his own life to save Dzamie’s. His secret ambition is to be able to solidly beat Dzamie in a fight - they’ve always been pretty even.

43. Are they religious? What do they think of religion? What do they think of religious people? What do they think of non religious people? HM is not religious at all. He acknowledges the existence of some deities, generally because either he or HM has met several of them (again, some of the few times one can actually see them actively prepare many layers of backup escape plans), but isn’t interested in worshipping anyone. He’s generally neutral about most religious and nonreligious people, and hasn’t quite made up his mind about the religious ones who think he’s a demon to exorcise - on one hand, they’re annoying, on the other, they’re generally unprepared enough that they make an easy snack.

44. What is their favourite season? Type of weather? Are they good in the cold or the heat? What weather do they complain in the most? Summer. Dragon likes heat. He complains about the snow a lot, and generally doesn’t leave his fuzzy heat source Dzamie’s side during the wintertime.

45. How do other people see them? Is it similar to how they see themselves? As a violent psychopath who’d probably eat the world if it was feasible and tasty enough. He’d agree.

46. Do they make a good first impression? Does their first impression reflect them accurately? How do they introduce themselves? He can make a good first impression - he’s not completely tactless, and can even hold a small Facade for a while. It’s pretty quick to tell his personality, though. HM prefers to introduce himself a couple seconds after his most recent victim dies, but, to his distaste, he far more often introduces himself in a more normal manner.

47. How do they act in a formal occasion? What do they think of black tie wear? Do they enjoy fancy parties and love to chit chat or loathe the whole event? He can act all proper and stuff, especially if Dzamie’s nearby to give him pointers, but not for an extended period of time. He prefers to wear as little as necessary, but will put on a few things to keep up appearances when needed. He enjoys chit chat to the extent that it can lure unsuspecting prey towards a secluded area.

48. Do they enjoy any parties? If so what kind? Do they organise the party or just turn up? How do they act? What if they didn’t want to go but were dragged along by a friend? He does actually host more casual parties somewhat often. Generally, his guests are dragons, though occasionally a Serperior or a sphinx has shown up. He’s actually a pretty good host. Though, remarkably often, he and a bunch of guests end up in a scaly pile on or around Dzamie when they awake.

49. What is their most valued object? Are they sentimental? Is there something they have to take everywhere with them? Well, there’s Dzamie.

50. If they could only take one bag of stuff somewhere with them: what would they pack? What do they consider their essentials? A water bottle and as much of his favorite non-Dzamie things from his hoard as will fit. Everything else necessary can be found pretty easily, especially as a flying, magical dragon.

Okay, this is take 2, and I’m starting from complete scratch. Now, however, since I’m writing this in notes INSTEAD of tumblr, I’ll be taking the time to think through thoughts a little more cohesively.

Starting of with mentioning not only Petropia, but how each element of the planet helps contribute to Petrosapien biology AND culture.

Petropia is definitely not a spherical planet, and even though Earth itself isn’t perfect, this is super wild. But planets of a more... oblong let’s say, shape and appearance can exist.

From what I have heard, however, this means that Petropia would need a super fast rotation speed.

For those who’ve read my Kinet/Kineceleran post about their Earth sickness, you may be thinking that if this was the case, Petrosapiens too would have a significantly faster sleep-wake cycle. What differs between Kinecelerans and Petrosapiens however, despite their already significant differences, is their natural lifestyle. Many times in canon, through pop-ups and reboots Alien Homeworlds series, Petrosapiens are stated to be subterranean.

Now, unlike bats that would live in caves and travel into the open to eat fruit and bugs, Petrosapiens do not require to live on the surface. They would be functionally nocturnal, yes, but inherently everyone would be. Perhaps to the point where a full, brink of death, sleep may not actually be required.

Why would they have eyes, you ask, if they traditionally live underground? Well well well, this question comes back to the planet.

Crystals, even if they do block out a majority of the light, are a little bit more transparent than dirt and earth, especially metal. Many gems are luminescent, and is quite often the distinction from fake to real stones, but can y’all guess what specific lights make these gems ‘glow’? If you guessed UV, then you’d be spot on!

And guess what type of light suns produce the most of? That��s right babes, ULTRA VIOLET!

Instead of a pitch black subterranean culture, with no need for the development of eyes, the planet is lit with its own interaction between sun and crystal and glows. Environments closer to the surface may have more of the natural sun colour, but the deeper you go, the more it’s lit like a black light, with glows not typically present under the average white light.

This in conjunction with the speedy rotation of the planet, could mean that a lot of the time there’s a consistent glow. I will say that this is part of the reason why Petrosapiens may not have a sleep-wake cycle at all, even if they do happen to rest. If there is no technical night, what point even IS there to sleep.

This can also mean that Petrosapiens are cable of seeing UV lighting too, if not replacing some that humans may have. Also, the evolution of eyes can also lend to comparisons with nocturnal eyes in Earth creatures. Look at the cat, then look at Diamondhead.

Occasionally, especially notable in the first episode, Diamondhead’s eyes occasionally glow. But that may not be the case. Since Petrosapiens are evolved to have eyes, even if they live a life underground, they may have similar ‘nocturnal’ evolutions as according to convergent evolution. The glowing eyes, merely a reflection of light to help see more, just like a cat’s.

Now, silicon-based lifeforms (i say as present me, kicking past UAF biology hating me in the shins for discrediting that) may not follow the same rules and requirements as carbon-based. But theorising any spectacular differences may serve only to alienate (hah) and create fancy of sci-fi. As the saying goes, know the rules before you break them.

Not that I know the rules completely but I mean...

Speaking of, the planet. Speed may be the primary contributor to the odd shape, and crystals manage to light up the lower environments, but let’s combine the two. Petropia is made of one of the toughest materials in the known universe, and if canon suggests anything, it’s resistant to both ageing and damage.

Damage is an obvious one. Petrosapiens are a rather enduring species, through body and now mind thanks to the sleep headcanons. But if Eon can’t turn their crystals to dust in how many centuries/millennia it takes to dust off a To’kustar, age comes as a second resistance.

This damage and age resistance may not be as much of a factor against the blank void of space, but it certainly impacts on the parts of the planet with an atmosphere. It’s lasted for long enough to evolve a sapient species, after all, and though some chunks of the planet have separated, Petropia’s strength and shape come from its resistant materials.

Speaking of, though Petrosapiens do age and subsequently die of it, it’s more so in line with how lobsters age. A Petrosapien, a being made out of the elements of the planet that they live on, are almost completely resistant to external damages. The only reason why they can and will die is because of their internals. You can not control the speed at which Petrosapiens die (unless you kill them yourself).

Death from ageing simply means that the internal organs grow weaker over time, growing unable to sustain and maintain crystal development, and if not ceasing production, may instead create weaker and easily breakable crystals. This is why drugs have such a negative impact on a Petrosapien, as I headcanoned in my dark hc/ oc talk duo. You are actually bypassing the natural external resistant and forcing yourself to age faster by killing off the only thing that makes your mortal.

Another death can occur from pressure, and that can be easily prevented thanks to the atmosphere. I mean, unless they want their insides to be liquor inside their crispy outer shells, something to prevent their insides from smooshing/ripping apart would be handy.

In canon, Petrosapiens apparently have a nose, so they most likely need air. It doesn’t mean oxygen, but it can certainly mean that an atmosphere would be in their best interest. The oblong shape of Petropia does have some interesting effects on the atmosphere though, and while a subterranean lifestyle can avoid most of these, surface life is more subject to these challenges.

Now, depending on what side you look at it from, Petropia can suddenly appear to look like a flat planet. Annoying as that is, a video by Artfexian does point out that the atmosphere of a flat planet may have some issues. Since Petropia isn’t just a coin floating in space, and has a little more reason put into it as to why it’s shaped the way it is, there’s some left over logic we can apply to this hypothetical.

Here goes. The speedy rotation of the planet may pull a majority of the atmosphere to the sides, leaving the tips of the planet to either scrape the outer atmosphere, or even breach it and go into space. The atmosphere of the north and south of Petropia however, would be a lot more protected given the mountainous landscape, than the sides of the planet. Protected from what, however.

Solar winds, that is!

The fast rotation of the planet may incidentally blow away the atmosphere off the sides, which would be uninhabitable. A magnetic field may be the most beneficial way to prevent solar swept atmosphere, but even though Petropia is densely made from crystals, I don’t believe that it has a metallic core.

What prevents the surfaces of the north and south of Petropia from losing their atmosphere is largely dependent on the mountainous peaks. Often facing away from the sun, with minimal axial tilt, the atmosphere is protected like glass to a fishbowl. The atmosphere DOES however suffer from a frayed edge, so life in the mountains is strictly discouraged.

But then this brings about another question.

If the north and south sides of Petropia are liveable, but the core, the mountain peaks and the sides of the planet are inhospitable, how do they interact with each other.

Without tech, they CAN’T!

For however long the species has lived, only in recent times has the surface been known to exist. For eons before that, many Petrosapien’s have learnt that going deeper is a danger to themselves, and stopped trying to go further. The ends of their world start from the roof and the floor and historically have not gone beyond.

Given their nocturnal-like lifestyle, they also never had much of an incentive to travel to the surface. For most, their ‘sky’ is the glowing crystal roof, lit from UV rays and whatever filtered light that Petropia’s atmosphere turns its whatever sized/coloured sun into. And more even longer, Petrosapiens had no planetary based resources for technology to naturally develop.

So, when tech did arrive, it was introduced by the people seeking to mine Petropia for its ‘valuable’ crystals.

Now, I’m not saying that the Plumbers were the one to gather more wealth. But opportunistic wealth hunters may have forced a lot of Petrosapiens into life on the surface. As soon as news spread that Petropia housed not only life, but SAPIENT life, the Plumbers did indeed intervene.

The Plumbers or the Intergalactic Enforcers, whichever takes notice first. And since opening up the surface is a little more significant to Petrosapiens than life of Earth living beneath our feet (i mean come on, we know more about outer space than we do the ocean), Petropia was thrust head first into the world of aliens.

Technology was not their natural invention, so a lot of their words for the tech came from what they heard the foreigners call them. A lot of new materials were imported, and even if Petrosapiens began developing tech on their own, it would still not be natural. A lot of Petrosapiens upset with the changes retreated deeper into the planet, while others ascended and built lives on the surface.

The once unused mountain tops served as interplanetary landing pads, with elevators constructed to get up without requiring a space launch. Spacesuits were made and Petrosapiens began to explore the uninhabitable sides of their planet. And finally, north and south Petrosapiens begin to learn about one another.

Now, there could very well be another species separate from Petrosapien on the other side, Subsapiens and/or Antrosapiens. Subsapiens could be named because their side of the planet had not been opened, Antrosapiens could be named because they are the opposite. North and south Petrosapiens could merely be the equivalent of Murk vs Perk Gourmands, genetically different enough to qualify as different species, but similar enough to fulfill the same niche of the planet, partitioned because of their geological separation.

Either way, one side was most likely the only side that was opened by interplanetary intervention, and the other side was recently introduced. Their cultures have significant differences, while simultaneously sharing many similarities. While the first surface Petrosapiens may tell cosmic horror stories of their sky parting, malignant forces mining for the lives and homes of the people, the other may be more ‘holy’ and benevolent, the sky opening its gaze to their future.

Since I have no preference of which side is opened first, north or south, the species is separated into Cardinal Petrosapiens and Auxiliary Petrosapiens, if in fact I settle for the Murk-Perk dynamic. These names can change, it’s just a starter name pair.

Yes, I rewrote this. No, it’s not the same.

...But now that I look at it, it flows a little better. Sure there’s a back and forth, but at least it ain’t a stitched together string of planet talk and species talk.

The 100 Greatest American Music Venues | Consequence of Sound

Feature artwork by Cap Blackard

Where did you attend your first concert? Mine was at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. It was Counting Crows touring their second album, and for every detail that can be recalled of the actual performance is a bit of memory on how the space felt. The Wiltern was seated back then, and from the ornate chandelier to the first glimpse at a merch stand, the lasting impression was of how big everything felt, how a venue was a place you could get lost in, where the rules of reality didn’t necessarily apply.

Of course, part of that feeling is just youth, but the great venues do have a transportive quality. Details of the box office or the bathrooms or the bar all hold their own weight, building significance both in spite of and because of the experiences held in the rooms. And some of these rooms are better than others. Sure, the most unexceptional concert venues might be near and dear to our hearts because of the shows we saw there or the people we met, but the really great venues go beyond that. There is history between their walls, features that are unlike any other concert space, and state-of-the-art lighting and sound that allow for artists to realize their vision of live presentation.

We took all of this into account when selecting the best 100 venues in the US. Both major and smaller markets are represented, while the sizes range from arenas to bars. There are venues whose history extends back 100 years, and there are others built in this century. But they all hold a certain common ground. A big one is the booking, with most still lining their schedule with the best talent. A few that don’t make their money on national touring acts are known for booking top-tier local acts. All of these venues, though, are known for quality shows regardless of who is actually up on stage.

We’ve already asked our readers to weigh in on their favorite American concert venues. And a number of artists have made their own selection. Now, it’s our turn.

–Philip Cosores Deputy Editor

Established: 2003 What You’ll See: Ian MacKaye, My Brightest Diamond, Cloud Nothings

Despite being sandwiched between two major cities, Connecticut is pretty barren when it comes to culture. Drive out to what feels like the middle of nowhere in Hamden, though, and you’ll find one of the state’s hidden gems: The Space. The all-ages venue sits in a huge, desolate parking lot, but once you step inside, it comes to life. Lights string the ceiling like silly string, a snack bar sits at the side with baked goods, and a flooded thrift store and arcade room hide upstairs.

It’s all types of cool without trying to win cool points, allowing The Space to boast the feel of a DIY Brooklyn space without all the pretension. Thanks to its tiny 150-person capacity and Connecticut’s limited venue options, concertgoers get an intimate show from bands that play far larger venues elsewhere on their tour. Then you step back outside and remember you’re in the middle of nowhere — which, ultimately, makes the venue feel all the more like an Alice in Wonderland trip.

–Nina Corcoran

Tulsa, Oklahoma

Established: 1930 What You’ll See: Animal Collective, Leon Bridges, Tyler, the Creator

Added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 2003, Cain’s Ballroom has a long history of serving various purposes, not hitting its stride as a contemporary music venue until relatively recently. It was initially constructed in 1924 as a garage for Tulsa co-founder W. Tate Brady’s vehicles. Six years later (or five years after Brady’s suicide by gunshot), Madison W. “Daddy” Cain converted the place into a dance establishment, giving it the name Cain’s Dance Academy.

From then on, it’s grown more and more synonymous with musical happenings in Tulsa, playing host to the Texas Playboys’ radio broadcast on KVVO and, after being sold to Larry Schaeffer in the 1970s, even the Sex Pistols in 1978. These days, a wide array of artists swing through for shows at 423 N. Main St. in Tulsa, including a considerable variety of hip-hop acts — A$AP Ferg, Tory Lanez, and Bones Thugs-n-Harmony are all scheduled for upcoming shows.

–Michael Madden

98. The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace

Las Vegas, Nevada

Established: 2003 What You’ll See: Celine Dion, Rod Stewart, Reba McEntire, Elton John

Yes, the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace looks like pure Vegas kitsch, a concert venue built to resemble the Colosseum of Rome. And yes, the residency program (inaugurated by Celine Dion) sometimes feels like an elephant graveyard for past-their-prime musical acts. But dig deeper, and this venue inspired by an ancient wonder soon reveals itself to be a modern marvel. The stage includes 10 motorized lifts as well as North America’s largest LED screen, which stands 40 feet tall and projects elaborate, seemingly three-dimensional backgrounds.

Despite a capacity of 4,100, no seat is more than 120 feet from the proscenium. That intimacy, combined with astounding acoustics and a stage spanning 22,400 square feet, means that everyone has a front-row seat for the always dazzling spectacles. All of these perks, combined with an extended stay in an exciting city, make these residencies very attractive to aging performers. If Rod Stewart or Reba McEntire aren’t your speed, that’s fine, but you’ll be glad it exists in 2031 when Jay Z starts his residency.

–Wren Graves

Established: 2012 What You’ll See: Burgerama, Beach Goth, Morrissey, Fetty Wap, Jenny Lewis

Using the shell of the Galaxy Concert Theatre, which hosted B-level gets like Sugar Ray and Medeski Martin and Wood for its run from 1994-2008, The Observatory emerged from a massive restoration that turned a 550-cap concert theatre into a two-room concert juggernaut. The main stage hosts acts ranging from hip-hop elite to Orange County legends in a 1,000-person space, while its smaller 350-cap Constellation Room is the only place in the OC to catch an act like Mitski or Into It. Over It.

One of the best aspects of the venue is how well it’s booked, landing better rap acts than any venue in neighboring Los Angeles, while often featuring bands offering warm-up shows before their much bigger LA or festival stops. It’s even become the sight of an occasional festival, with Burgerama and Beach Goth both utilizing the dual indoor stages and the outside parking lot.

–Philip Cosores

Established: 2002 What You’ll See: Synths, sun tans, and a sanctuary from mouse ears

Orlando’s countless amusement parks, performance spaces, hotels, and mini-golf courses make the sprawling central Florida city into an east coast Las Vegas, albeit one that was hit especially hard by the mid-2000’s subprime mortgage crisis. But a few Downtown O-town local hot spots weathered this economic hurricane and thank goodness for that.

The Social is still standing! And shaking, and grooving, as it continues an energetic tradition as the city’s best place to catch rock, electronic, and weekly acid jazz sets. The midsize venue is mostly built around concerts, but has sustained itself over time by becoming an incredible dance space that keeps the club kids, the rockers, and the Salsa fanatics equally entertained.

–Dan Pfleegor

95. JJ’s Bohemia

Chattanooga, Tennessee

Established: 2007 What You’ll See: That 1 Guy, Thelma and the Sleaze, Future Islands

JJ’s Bohemia is many things, but none of them are chic. A tiny space with a big patio attached (or a big patio with a tiny space, depending on your view), it feels as if every inch of the joint is covered with a sticker, a knick-knack, a string of holiday lights, or the front of a VW van. The vibe is undeniably chaotic, which meshes perfectly with the experience of gathering there for a show — when the stage is inches from your nose and no more than a few feet above you, it’s hard to not feel like a part of rock and roll in the making. Add in the free weekly comedy open mic, bartenders with devoted followers, and a handy disc-golf basket, and you’ve got plenty of reasons to roam off the beaten path.

–Allison Shoemaker

94. Count Basie Theatre

Red Bank, New Jersey

Established: 1926 What You’ll See: Brian Wilson, Randy Newman, Kevin Smith

The ‘burbs need concert venues, too, and the Count Basie Theatre caters to the bridge-and-tunnel crowd without making them drive across a bridge or through a tunnel. To that end, there’s something special about seeing legendary, decidedly mature musicians like Brian Wilson and Boz Scaggs right in your Garden State neighborhood, especially when they’re flanked by the Basie’s gorgeously detailed proscenium and celestial blue dome. But such classiness doesn’t drive away the occasional rowdy act: Bruce Springsteen has made several surprise appearances, and fellow Jersey hero Kevin Smith — whose comics shop, Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash, is a mere half-mile away — has filmed a handful of his specials there.

–Dan Caffrey

Established: 1989 What You’ll See: Palm trees and great rock and roll

Like so many promoters-turned-club owners, Tim Mays was simply looking for a place to host shows when he opened The Casbah with Bob Bennett and Peter English in 1989. Eventually the venue became a haven for rock and roll of all shapes and sizes, from local heroes (Rocket from the Crypt, Three Mile Pilot) to alternative rock megastars (Nirvana! Smashing Pumpkins! Blink 182!). Now 26 years later, San Diego’s understated rock and roll mecca continues to be everything a small club should be.

With its 200-person capacity, there’s an intimacy to the current room (Mays moved the club up the street in 1994) even when your back’s against the bar. Posters adorning the wall pay homage to the city’s proud underground rock heritage, while the fake palm trees and year-round holiday lights give it the charm of a punk rock bungalow. There’s also music six nights a week, so yeah, it’s more or less a live music maven’s dream come true.

–Ryan Bray

Established: 2007 What You’ll See: Aesop Rock, Todd Barry, Eagulls, Mutual Benefit

The Crofoot is one of downtown Pontiac’s oldest structures. Nowadays, it’s a two-story building that contains three venues: the Crofoot Ballroom, the Pike Room, and the Vernors Room. It’s gone through numerous periods of turbulence in the past two centuries, facing the prospect of demolition as recently as 2005. It was at that time that the McGowan family of local preservationists sought to restore The Crofoot, ultimately leading to its reopening as a concert venue in September 2007.

Regular attendees are pleased to report their happiness about the above-average quality of sound and the politeness of the staff. While it may not draw household-name performers like some venues in Detroit and other areas of Michigan, the modern-day Crofoot’s combination of charm, intimacy, and historical value makes it an often underrated institution.

–Michael Madden

91. Rams Head Live!

Baltimore, Maryland

Established: 2004 What You’ll See: Queens of the Stone Age, Purity Ring, Metric, The New Pornographers

A lot of the best music venues in the US are anchored by their history, but there’s something to be said about what a modern room can be. A great example of this is Rams Head Live!, a concert hall that gets an exclamation mark in its name and doesn’t waste it. What might be most interesting about the space is that it doesn’t have to work with antiquated design.

Two levels of balcony zigzag the crevices of the space, allowing for viewing not just from the front of the stage, but from the side as well. When full, this can boost the energy to feel like the stage is surrounded by fans. History can be earned in time, but for now, Rams Head Live! provides a worthy alternative than traveling to DC for a mid-level band’s club show.
