Rewatching S3, I think it’s weird that the neck snap is how Five chose to kill Sparrow!Grace, because that wouldn’t have worked on Umbrella!Grace. We saw Umbrella!Grace get her neck snapped, get up, & turn her head back around like it was nothing.

Just Us - Series List
Y/n is a multimillionaire. Wanda Maximoff is a divorced mum of two twin boys who is trying her best. What happens when their paths cross at a club and Y/n takes Wanda home for the night?
Warnings: This story is an 18+ read, Minors DNI, contains talks and description of Death, Accidents, Injury, Child Loss, Abuse (Physical and Emotional), Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Suggestive themes, Smut (Each Chapter With Themes Explained), Angst (Lots of It), And Some Fluff Thrown in because I felt bad. Top Reader, Bottom Wanda
Each chapter will come with their own warnings.
This is a story that I have put up on my Wattpad and my Ao3 and thought I would share it here for more of you wonderful people. I do hope you enjoy this read. There will be mistakes here and there and maybe some incorrect translations.
So this is an AU story with the MCU characters. So the ages and story lines with be changed and different from that in the movies. 
I will right some history for each character as the story progresses just so ages and other things make sense. 
All the Character's in this are played by their respective actors and certain aspects of the MCU have been added in. But once again its not going to be an alternative marvel story it is a completely different universe. 
I don't own any if the MCU characters.

Do you have any headcanons on what genres of music the wonderworld human characters like to listen to?
Yeah! You bet!
Leo Craig: He loves listening to Rock music. So stuff like Three Days Grace, Skillet, and Fall Out Boy are on his playlist.
Emma Cole: She's not particularly picky with any music genre. But if she had to pick one, it would be K-Pop. Take BTS, VIXX, AOA, and TWICE for example.
Jose Gallard: He actually loves listening to Latin music that's popular. Like Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias, and Don Omar would be playing on his radio.
Fiona Demetria: She loves Country and Pop. So Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Carrie Underwood are what she'll listen to.
Yuri Brand: She is a J-Pop fan. So her music playlists are from artists like Kikuo and Otetsu. Especially since Vocaloid is there.
Haoyu Chang: He'll listen to anything as long as it isn't Hip-Hop. You can pretty much play Barbie Girl from Aqua and he wouldn't care at all. Or Nyan Cat. Or the Piña Colada song. Just don't play anything with Hip-Hop.
Sana Hudson: She loves listening to music that came out in the 80's and 90's. Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Blondie, you name it. And her favorite of all time? NKOTB.
Cass Milligan: She likes Pop music, specifically bands that have either disbanded or are still together. One Direction, Big Time Rush, and Cascada.
Cal Suresh: He likes listening to Bollywood music of any kind. If you blast it on your radio and phone, he'll happily hum to it.
Iben Bia: She will either listen to Jazz, Pop, or Alternative. Stuff like Melanie Martinez or Coldplay are her favorites.
Attilio Caccini: Pop all the way! He loves Pharrell Williams or any artist that makes him happy whenever he listens to music.
Lucy Wong: She's a sucker for Classical music. She plays it to help her concentrate on her art. Music from Mozart and Beethoven are what she goes for.
Eis Glover: Like Sana, he listens to music that was popular in 80's and 90's. He's really fond of Michael Jackson.
Bruce Stone: He loves listening to the 60's and 70's music. So Elvis Presley, Queen and Beach Boys are his jams.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EBY━🌻
I will add more facts when inspiration comes to me. I also have an idea to make a Game of Thrones fanfiction, and this brought it back; let me know if you would be interested in reading it if I ever publish it.
2024 update: since her discography involves Ariana Grande, in this universe, someone else will play Cat Valentine in Victorious and Sam & Cat, and I’m only putting her in All That because I watched the reruns back in the day when I had cable and not because of what’s happening. (He should have apologized a long time ago instead of staying silent, and the fact he finally spoke up, said something, and “apologized” is wild).

Lyman-Morse LM46 Semicustom Performance Cruiser
Lyman-Morse LM46 Semicustom Performance Cruiser.
The Lyman-Morse LM46 performance cruiser Hopgrasser is a stirring rendition of the Maine builder's new semicustom line.
Read more about the Lyman-Morse 46
The cold front had passed overnight, and even though it was the middle of July, the fresh northwesterly off the coast of Camden, Maine, had the crisp, clear aura of an early fall morning. In other words, it was a perfect day to go for a sail. Happily, given that I’d found myself aboard just about the ideal yacht to do so: a slick new Lyman-Morse LM46, a semicustom homegrown beauty constructed at the longtime Maine builder’s facility in nearby Thomaston.
Hopgrasser, the first of two LM46s to emerge from the shed, was company president Drew Lyman’s personal ride, so named by his young daughter, who’d found it linguistically challenging to put the “grass” in front of the “hop.”
The unique name is in keeping with a special, quite inimitable sailboat. Designed by New Zealander Kevin Dibley, a naval architect renowned for his flat-out race boats and graceful performance cruisers, the LM46’s objective is fourfold: light but solid build; handsome yet functional lines and accommodations; prowess in light, inshore breeze; and the power and strength for offshore sailing, including events such as the Newport Bermuda Race (which Hull No. 2, Arcadia, knocked off this past summer).
We’ll start with the build, the first of many things that separate the LM46 from the majority of contemporary cruisers; after all, these days you don’t see many wooden boats at your typical boat show. Lyman-Morse earned its reputation and butters its bread by employing cold-molded, infused-epoxy construction with Douglas fir and Western red cedar. An internal carbon frame stiffens the structure, and ties in the shrouds and titanium chain plates (the rudder and stock are also carbon). The composite deck is laminated with a foam core, again in the dual interests of less weight and more strength. My question about what wood was used to fashion the lovely cabin top was met with a laugh: Turns out it’s all composite (keep it light!), to which a vinyl adhesive with a wood pattern is affixed. Tricky.
In profile, this is one of those rare yachts that looks extremely quick and maneuverable just sitting alongside the dock. The understated sheerline dips ever so slightly from bow to stern, accentuating the low-slung, minimalist coachroof. A dedicated carbon sprit forward is home to both the ground tackle and the tack fitting for off-wind runners and reachers, and gives the profile a businesslike effect. Unlike so many modern boats, there’s no hard chine; in fact, the hull tapers inward in its after sections, a design that does the opposite of a chine and narrows the beam, the thinking being there’s less drag when sailing off the breeze. There’s also less freeboard than we’re used to seeing in most new production boats. To my eye, it’s all very striking.
The boat is powered with a straightforward 12-volt system with a Mastervolt Combi charger/inverter, a 60-amp alternator, a solar panel atop the cockpit dodger, and a set of lithium-ion batteries. The B&G Vulcan 7 instrumentation package is standard. A Yanmar 80 hp diesel with saildrive, coupled with a Max-Prop feathering propeller, supplies the propulsion under power.
Interior details were hardly an afterthought. The forepeak has a centerline queen berth, with access from each side. Alison Langley
As a semicustom boat, the LM46 has quite a bit of leeway in the belowdecks layout and accommodations, but the rather traditional setup on Hopgrasser suited me just fine: galley and nav station at the foot of the companionway, opposing settees/berths in the main saloon, a head and shower forward, and an owner’s stateroom forward. (And a real sea berth to starboard, for which I’m a total sucker.) A single head on a 45-footer is also unusual these days, but a second head is an option.
I wondered aloud about the two quarter berths aft, both wide open and not stashed behind doors, which I thought was in keeping with the airy quarters but something you’re more likely to see on a racer than a cruiser. “If you want privacy,” Drew Lyman said with a laugh, “get yourself a hundred-footer.”
Stowage for a weekend or month’s worth of clothes and gear. Alison Langley
This I discovered rather quickly as we motored out of Camden and hoisted sail, beginning with a powerful square-topped, full-battened Doyle mainsail. Lyman-Morse promotes simple sailing, with the ability to be off the dock with sails hoisted in less than five minutes. With that norther coursing off the mainland, the seaway in the lee was flat and fast: pretty perfect for trialing a boat that accentuates performance.
Surprisingly, there’s no backstay on the LM46, but rather a pair of check stays that require regular attention. The twin wheels, with Jefa steering, are situated just abaft the cockpit-wide traveler, and a double-ended German-style mainsheet arrangement trims the main, which has three deep reefs, which is my preference for long-distance sailing. It’s all smart and efficient, befitting a true racer/cruiser sensibility. 
Hopgrasser draws 6 feet, the shoal option that replaces the standard 7-foot, 7-inch composite fin with attached lead ballast bulb (the Bahamas is definitely in its future; alternatively, there’s also a 10-foot version for owners of a more competitive nature).
Sailing the boat is loads of fun, and certainly athletic. Lyman said he’s still learning the boat but has discovered that the sweet spot when sailing upwind is a 20- to 22-inch heel angle, which you dial in by constantly playing and tweaking the traveler and vang, as you would on a dinghy or certain one-design classes. The Doyle headsail is sheeted in not on tracks, but instead on movable leads with multiple trimming options, which on the LM46 is certainly an enjoyable part of the exercise.
On our test sail, the puffy breeze was all over the place, dipping to around 10 knots in the lulls and kicking in at over 20 knots in the gusts. The one consistent factor in all this was the sheer joy in driving this ultra-sensitive, highly responsive sailing machine. In the lighter airs, Hopgrasser registered about 6.5 knots in upwind mode; that ratcheted up to nearly 10 knots just cracked off slightly when it filled into the upper teens. As far as top speeds are concerned, Lyman said that the second LM46, Arcadia, saw 19.9 on its speedo during the dash to Bermuda. No question—it’s a slippery hull indeed.
The LM46 is not inexpensive, but it epitomizes what my wise old sailing mate Alvah Simon referred to as “heirloom quality,” something so fine and lasting that it might be passed along in one’s family for years and generations to come. Those are high aspirations, certainly. But in the case of Hopgrasser and her sisterships, they’re attainable ones as well.

2010s BOLLYWOOD ! - TOP 236 FILMS OF 2010s BOLLYWOOD!
Presenting, INDIES TOP 236 FILMS OF 2010s BOLLYWOOD! https://www.imdb.com/list/ls567124049/
With westernized Bollywood on the throes of its mini-liberation from old school film-making, the 2010s gushed in bringing an unsettling western-modelled right-wing/left-brained ‘dark art’ culture along, dominated by mission ideas of dechauvinizing art societies, that laced with a new generally hyper-aggressive female liberalization pitch, & a much more deeply politicized grain of art, than Indian mainstream culture had surely ever seen before. If to offer an interesting analogy, the 80s Bollywood revisited, but with female action heroes in lead, fighting the feminine way forward, & with 80s alternate cinema mode of art breaking in to acquire & establish itself as the new mainstream Bollywood core. That said, a decade that saw, the by now totally & utterly multi-nationally corporatized Bollywood, via fiscal networking, bring an amazing to the point of mysterious, further average 5 times growth in box office collection figures, over the previous decade as well. If to offer an imaginary comparative analysis, films that wouldn’t stand 2 days in cinemas in old Bollywood systems, now raking in cool 50-60 crs + worth of net biz! If the 2000s ushered in “New Bollywood”, the 2010s transformed it beyond recognition. Hold Indies hand, through the decade’s best most presentable art from “Genetically modified Bollywood”. A fine collection of less than 1/5th of total quantum, that can well be described as the best of “Intelligent & Raw Bollywood”, with John Abraham & his array of patriotic spy thrillers infused with praiseworthy integrity ruling the roost at Indies, followed by the talented Arshad Warsi & his classic comicals, with satiating investigative cinema. Also noteworthy being the super-legendary late Farooq Shaikh registering no lesser than 8 films in the decades' top collection, in the last 3 yrs of his marvelous life & career! Also, the quintessential Rahul Bose with an impressive array of 7 for the decade. If to offer Indie appraisal on the most voluminous space occupied in popular national cinematic culture, the decade undoubtedly belonged to Salman Khan - with 13 declared all-time blockbusters to his credit, but furthermore his 11 films finding deserved place in Indies decade's honor rolls! And to do final justice to the decade's surmise, need give a huge shoutout to Rajeev Khandelwal, 15th on Indies decade rolls, & one of the most successful yet unheralded Bollywood stars, for his contribution to this decade, & a simply superb 100% record at Indies, with all 13 of his releases, & 12 within this decade, by far the most for any new millennium actor, in 2010's list! And in females, deserving huge plaudits, the amazingly prolific Raima Sen, with a wonderful 18 films (aside her voluminous Bengali work) gracing decade's honor rolls! Surely a record for an actress at Indies, over past half century's assessment! Till we meet again then! 1.       .Laila Majnu

[As promised, the nymph! I made her a legendary monster because... basically because I couldn't envision and encounter with a nymph where she wasn't the centerpiece. Lair actions seemed a bit much for CR 7, but 2 legendary actions seemed alright. Anyway, you can very easily take the legendary actions out if that's not to your tastes.]
Nymph (CR 7)
Medium fey, Chaotic Good
Space 5 ft. Reach 5 ft.
Initiative +3
HP 78 (12d8 + 24 Con)
AC 18
Proficiency Bonus +3

Amphibious: The nymph can breathe both air and water.
Blinding Beauty: When a humanoid that can see the nymph starts its turn within 30 feet of the nymph, the nymph can force it to make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw if the nymph isn't incapacitated and can see the creature. A humanoid that fails the save is struck blind. At the start of the creature’s next turn, it must repeat the save. On a success, the blindness ends. On a failure, the creature is blinded permanently. A creature that succeeds on their saving throw is immune to the nymph’s Blinding Beauty for 24 hours.
Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the creature does so, it can't see the nymph until the start of its next turn, when it can avert its eyes again. If the creature looks at the nymph in the meantime, it must immediately make the save.
The nymph can free a creature from this blindness as a bonus action.
Magic Resistance: The nymph has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magic effects.
Mistsight: Fog, mist, and rain, magical or otherwise, do not impede the nymph’s sight.
Unearthly Grace: The nymph’s AC includes her Charisma bonus.
Wild Empathy: Beasts and plant creatures that attack a nymph must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature must choose a different target or the attack automatically misses. If the nymph harms a beast or plant creature, that creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours.
Furthermore, the nymph can speak with beasts and plant creatures as though they shared a language.
- - -
Innate Spellcasting (Spell DC 16, spell attack bonus +8): The nymph’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma. She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components.
At Will - Beast Sense, Fog Cloud (4th level, 80 ft. radius), Misty Step, Scrying
Spellcasting (Spell DC 16, spell attack bonus +8): The nymph is an 8th level spellcaster. Her spellcasting ability is Charisma. If a listed spell has the Ritual tag, the nymph can cast it as a ritual.
Spell Points: 38

Actions
Multiattack: The nymph makes two dagger attacks. Alternatively, the nymph casts a spell and uses her Stunning Glance action.
Dagger +6 melee weapon attack, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., 5 (1d4+3) piercing damage
Frostbite: One creature the nymph can see within 60 ft. must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or take 7 (2d6) cold damage and have disadvantage on the next weapon attack it makes before the end of its next turn.
Stunning Glance: One creature that the nymph can see and that can see the nymph must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. Creatures immune to charmed condition automatically succeed on this saving throw. On a failure, the creature is stunned until the end of the nymph’s next turn.
- - -
Legendary Actions (2/round)
The nymph can take 2 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The nymph regains spent legendary actions at the start of her turn.
Cantrip: The nymph casts a cantrip.
Shifting Mists: The nymph casts Misty Step.
Stunning Glance (Costs 2 Actions): The nymph uses her Stunning Glance action.
- - -
Tactics
You should notice two things about the nymph. First, she doesn’t have a lot of hit points for a legendary monster. Second, she doesn’t deal a huge amount of damage. The nymph doesn’t work so great as a solo boss, she needs some backup. A few beasts she’s caring for or plant creatures that guard her lake would be appropriate. On the other hand, the nymph can be pretty evasive. She can cast Misty Step at will, see through mist, and swim. Just bear in mind that using Misty Step will prevent her from casting a spell bigger than Frostbite.
Fog Cloud is a bit weird with the nymph’s other abilities, since many of them rely on her enemies being able to see her. It can be used as part of an escalating encounter; once the nymph’s allies are pressed enough, she drops concentration on Fog Cloud and begins using her vision-based attacks. A Fog Cloud based encounter benefits from allies with Blindsight, which a lot of plant creatures have.
A nymph is also a perfectly serviceable monster without her legendary actions.

Lore
Nymphs are representations of physical beauty. They are typically found far, far away from civilization, usually taking up residence in a secluded lake or pond, surrounded by lush plantlife. They are wild and mercurial by nature, but rarely violent to Folk who take care not to disturb their domains, and who mind their manners (whatever “manners” means to the fey) in their presence. Nymphs are known for healing sick and injured animals, and beasts will lay down their lives to defend their benefactor. Nymphs, in turn, will fight to the death to defend the wilds; they are, after all, immortal fey.
Nymphs are not immediately hostile to hunters in their domain; predation is, after all, a part of nature. But they do not take kindly to overhunting, hunting for sport, or hunters who fail to grant their prey a merciful death. They rarely kill those who violate their woods in these ways, instead taking their sight as a lesson to take back to their fellows. They may ally with druids or rangers, preferring to let them deal with Folk intruders, and aiding them when needed.

“The 60s-70s had Margaret, and Diana was the saving grace of the 80s-90s. So I blame the horrendous fashion of the 2000s on the fact there were no Royal women to emulate. Thank God Kate came along in the 2010s, if it wasn’t for her we’d have no alternative to the Kardashians.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Gorillaz: Humanz
Tumblr media
SHere it is, the comeback tour! I was so excited for this album, I sucked all the singles that came out before I could download the album. This album basically reminded me of the reasons I love Gorillaz. All of them. One particular reason a little too well...
Okay, let's get the elephant out of the room. This album is a bit controversial among the community for playing a little too hard to one of Gorillaz' strengths: showcasing cool artists. There are more than a few tracks where Damon doesn't even show up. Hell, my favorite track doesn't even have it on him. Me, I honestly don't care about that as long as I get to hear good music but for the rest of you die hard Gorillaz fans? Just think of this as a compilation album like NOW That's What I Call Alternative/Indie Hip-Hop/R&B/Electronica/Pop.
See? Rolls off the tongue. Now let's get started.
1. Intro: I Switched My Robot Off
Nice. Real ominous. Gorillaz really know how to build up a presentation. Feels like you're walking through the doors of the doors to the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Anybody remember Legends of the Hidden Temple? Were there doors on that stage? Anyway, awesome.
10/10
2. Ascension
Holy hell, Vince really knocks it out of the park on this one. Different beat, nice flow, social commentary...He was not fucking around on this track. Damon's barely on the track but Vince makes up for it with his existential rhymes and chorus back-up. Man, Gorillaz has gotta take advantage of gospel more often.
9/10
3. Strobelite
That didn't take long, did it? Anyway, this is my favorite song on the album. Peven has an incredible voice, the music psychically compels you to dance and...that's it. Sometimes, well usually with me, you just need to go with Simple Yet Awesome. Have a good voice and a good beat. This song has both and I'm pretty sure that one day, a scientist will hear this song and will be inspired by it to cure diabetes.
100/10
4. Saturn Barz
Ah, the lead single from the album. Remember the 360 house, everyone? Yeah, you remember. Glad to have Gorillaz welcome back Reggae into their line-up with Popcaan manning the helms. He and Damon tag-team the eardrums with the power of dread as the instrumentation makes you feel like you're in a haunted house. Welcome back, guys.
25/10
5. Momentz
WELCOME BACK, GUYS! De La Soul returns to say some real shit about time and how you should, respect and stuff. Seriously, awesome track. Kicks so much ass and you can even dance to it as you wonder if this MOMENT will be one of the last times when you feel really happy. Nice...
9/10
6. Interlude: The Non-Conformist Oath
Hey, Steve Martin! I like to imagine a bunch of assholes listening to this and...just not getting it. Not us though. We get it. We're smart. Smarter than those guys...
10/10
7. Submission
This song had to grow on me but years after I got the album and after I learned to appreciate Danny Brown a little more like all humans should, this song became one of my favorites off the album. Don't worry Kelela, he doesn't carry the whole song. Her voice is so beautiful that it can calm a charging rhino or a coked-up Connor McGregor. These make the song a lot classier than it had any right being.
90/10
8. Charger
She's beauty, she's Grace...she's also Jones. Man, I haven't heard from this woman since Corporate Cannibal and she has clearly been keeping up practice. God, how can a woman's laughter both scare and arouse me? Damon's no slouch on this track either, singing about the monster that keeps us all tethered: the charger. I kid, I kid. Hey, did Damon really get a boner on stage when he sung this or are you guys messing with me? Message me if you know.
9/10
9. Interlude: Elevator Going Up
On a recent trip, I tried to go up the elevator but it was card-activated so a desk lady had to help me. That's it.
8/10
10. Andromeda
Damon has to do the heavy lifting here and his muscles have not completely wasted away from lack of use. He tells us to take in our heart and you know what? I did. I took this song directly in my heart...and my playlist.
50/10
11. Busted And Blue
Yeah, this song is a bummer. A good bummer. It's Broken's younger brother who joined the army to make his parents proud after he couldn't get into university like his older brother who managed to form a separate family with his squad and began to think that maybe he was good enough after all before his squad gets bombed and, as he lies legless dying painfully on the ground, a blue butterfly land directly on his outstretched busted hand...
Directed by Mervyn LeRoy
10/10
12. Interlude: Talk Radio
You ever wonder how we get voices in machines? I know you think it's a complicated process but I know a dude who picked up the radio in his electric fan once. Think about it.
8/10
13. Carnival
Again, this song had to grow on me but one day, while I was thinking about Gamzee for a godforsaken reason, I thought "Geez, he talks about the Dark Carnival and the Dark Carnival isn't even some of ICP's best days. What's a good song about a carnival?" Anyway, Anthony can spin a person's mind and mind around just by singing. He's wild.
80/10
14. Let Me Out
Hey, wouldn't it be funny if Mavis was Vince's mother? She's not but that would be funny as well as cool. Her and Pusha T bang on the walls of this track as they rant about the politics at the time of this song. Yeah, they're talking about Trump. That car horn can't protect you forever, you orange bastard.
9/10
15. Interlude: Penthouse
Dear Penthouse: Hi. Does anyone check in on you, just you? I'm here to say I think you're important and you provide a necessary outlet for men to brag about being perverts. At least before the Youtube comment section existed.
Thanks for everything,
mytastessuck
8/10
16. Sex Murder Party
Ooooo, this track puts me in a funky mood. Like, there's a part but there's sex there...and MURDER. So you know it's an awesome party. Kick-ass, right? I know it's kick-ass. Keep dancing, people.
11/10
17. She's My Collar
Pretty sexy song. Gotta love people vauging about being used in a song. That's why we love Offspring, that's why we love Damon on his knees onstage. Hey, there was a post that said Noodle wrote this song about her girlfriend. That was an excellent post. Well done.
9/10
18. Interlude: The Elephant
I SAID GET OUT OF HERE, YOU BASTARD!
8/10
19. Hallelujah Money
Ah, the technical first single. Remember when they said that they weren't going to put this song on the album? Anyway, this is exactly the song we needed after The Incident occurred. Benjamin manages to calm down an entire populace while Damon just fearfully wonders what our future will be like...and he's in the UK. This song is one long terrifying lullaby to an entire country...until the end, anyway.
75/10
20. We Got The Power
A great way to remind listeners that no matter what's happening, no matter who's in charge, we have the power change everything. An excellent message for people who were still recovering from The Incident.
10/10
21. Interlude: New World
Okay, the bonus tracks. Should be nothing special here, right? Just some B-sides and I've never shown favoritism towards B-sides, right?
8/10
22. The Apprentice
A nice song from the same Rag n' Bone Man who brought us "Human". Zebra manages to lay down some nice rhymes as Ray BLK backs them both up with the force of her voice. These guys should form a team with how well they work together. Oh, they should make a virtual band! All they need to do is find an artist...
9/10
23. Halfway To The Halfway House
A very nice song if a bit overshadowed by the others on the album. Still, Peven can't be beat when it comes to crooning and he raises a song from a solid C to a B.
8/10
24. Out of Body
This song had to grow on me also but when it did...lord, this song is weird. Hypnotic suggestions, telephone tones, the song starts then Zebra jumps in to help then who is this person?! Why are people applauding?! Who are you people?! Why are there so many crows gathering outside my house?!
60/10
25. Ticker Tape
Well well well, look who's back. Damon returns with his old friend Kali to join the accuser of the vain Carly Simon to beg us to stay on the album. Sorry Damon, but I got places to do and people to go. There's nothing you can do to convince me to stick around after how long this album already is.
9/10
26. Circle of Friendz
Huh. Seems like a riot is going on. Weird for Gorillaz to get this real. What, this guy is just going to keep saying Circle of Friendz again and again? Is this supposed to affect me? Get real. It'll take a lot more than a nice voice and implications to...
To...
...
...Maybe I should listen to the album again.
11/10
Album score: 25/10
Damn, that took a while. Shouldn't be the case next week when we cover The Now Now. See you then!

Performance of Different Varieties of Cauliflower (Brassica Oleracea Var. Botrytis) Under Different Levels of Phosphorus Application in Pot Culture at Lamjung, Nepal
Authored by RK Shrestha
Tumblr media
Phosphorus is one of the major macro essential nutrient that is occurred in most of the plant in concentration by dry weight of 0.1 -0.5 percent and in most mineral soils in concentration of 0.002-0.5 percent with average of 0.05 percent and absorb P in the form of either H2PO4 - or as orthophosphate ion HPO42- depending on soil pH [1]. The growth and development of cauliflower is directly influenced by the application of phosphorus as the phosphorus involves the physiological activities of cauliflower. P is the key element in many physiological [2] and biochemical process although it is absorbed in small amounts by plants [3,4] and least mobile and available to plants in most soil conditions [5].
Phosphorus is the principal yield limiting factor for cauliflower production [6] and major abiotic stress that inhibits plant growth and crop productivity on 30-40% of the world’s arable land [7]and deficient on 41.73% of total cultivated land (28%) of Nepal (MOAD, 2072). Most of the Nepalese farmers use the chemical fertilizers haphazardly and blindly without conscious about the negative impact to the soil, health and environment because of insufficient knowledge about judiciously, rationally, efficiently and site- specific use chemical fertilizer that causes the decreased the crop productivity and soil fertility in Nepal. Insufficient research on balanced fertilizer recommendation and poor selection of cauliflower cultivars is major challenge of commercialization and competitiveness production of cauliflower in Nepal. Judicious and balance use of P fertilizer as well as site specific P fertilizer management is one of the best alternative strategies to increase the production per unit limited area of production and it is hypothesized that addition of P in the soil would have significant contribute on cauliflower production.
Then, we undertook two factorial experiments- levels of phosphorus inputs and cauliflowers as factors. Two commonly grown varieties of cauliflower (Kathmandu Local and Snow Grace) were purch. We mixed the air-dried soils with air dried farmyard manure (0.5kg FYM/kg Soil) and filled in polypot (4 kg soil/pot). In each pot, N, K, B and Mo were applied at the rate 11.73gm ,3.6gm, 0.49gm and 5.12 mg respectively and also the source of nutrient like urea, potassium chloride, Borax, sodium molybdate. Then after, we applied five levels of the P with air dried soils in 0.00215 m3 sized pots and applied five levels of P (0 kgha-1 , 80 kgha-1 , 120 kgha- 1, 140 kgha-1 , 160 kgha-1 ) using Single super phosphate. Then after we transplanted 29 d old seedling of cauliflower in the pot and arranged the pots in completely randomized designed with four repetition. Nitrogen was top dressed at the rate of 2.93gm in 30 d and 60 d after transplanting. Soil was kept at 0.65% field capacity during the entire growing period. Before harvesting the plants at physiological maturity-appearance of white head- Plant height, leaves numbers, days for days required for the curd initiation and physiological maturity were recorded was measured. After harvesting, root length and curd yield were measured.
The mean separation was carried out with ANOVA using package SPSS software version 24 edition and graphs were developed using Origin 8 Software. The data recorded was statistically analyzed according to Complete Block Design (CRD)with double factor using a statistical.
Results and Discussions
Plant height
The data regarding the plant height are shown in Table (2) depicted that Phosphorus level (P<0.01) and cauliflower varieties (P<0.01) are statistically different and interaction between them also found significantly different (P<0.01).
Table 2: Effect of different levels of phosphorus and varieties on cauliflower varieties no. of leaves, plant height, days to curd initiation, days to harvest, root length, curd weight and curd yield.
Cauliflower varieties showed significant difference at different level of phosphorus application. Cauliflower varieties showed maximum values of plant height (28.18cm) when 160 kgha-1 of P was applied and low value of plant height (12.64cm) for control treatment plants. The plant height at 160 kgha-1 was significantly different with recommended dose of P. i.e. 120 kgha-1 (22.51cm) which was statistically non-significant with plant height at 140 kgha-1 (22.57cm).
Variety Kathmandu Local expressed maximum value of plant height (23.57cm) and minimum value of plant height (17.73cm) was expressed by Snow Grace. The result showed that plant height is increased with increases P level. This might be due to its vital role in root development and nutrient absorption that increase plant growth and ultimately influence plant height. These results could be due to the synergistic effect of P with N that helped the efficiency of nitrogen uptake, which enhanced vegetative growth of broccoli plants [8]. Sharma et al., [9], Singh [10] and Reddy et al., [8] found the same trend of the present investigation of research. The plant height is directly influenced by cauliflower varieties which might be due to its genotypic governing varietal characters on plant height and also depend on whether plant is taller or dwarf variety. The effect on plant height by interaction between P level and varieties are significant which might be due to highly genetic response and high nutrient use efficiency of one variety that other variety.
Number of leaves
The data regarding the number of leaves are shown in Table (2) interpreted that Phosphorus level (P<0.01) and cauliflower varieties (P<0.01) are statistically different but interaction between them found non-significantly different (P= 0.990). Cauliflower varieties showed significant difference at different level of phosphorus application. The maximum numbers of leaves per plant (18.38) were obtained at 160kg P ha-1 and minimum number of leaves per plant (8.88) in without application of P. The variety Snow grace had a greater number of leaves per plant (15.35) which was significantly superior over Kathmandu local variety (13.50). The increased number of leaves per plant with increased level of P might be due to being major macro nutrient which play vital role in photosynthesis, energy storage, cell division and cell enlargement that helps in enhancement of number of leaves [11]. Randhawa and Bhail [12] reported that higher dose of P gave positive response in increasing the numbers of leaves. Similarly, Elahi et al., [13] and Uddain [11] found that phosphorus had significantly influenced the number of leaves per plant of cauliflower. The number of leaves per plant varied with varieties due to their own genetic makeup which is linked with inters nodal length [13]. The interaction of P level and varieties had not affected on number of leaves per plant that might be due to their effect on number of leaves independently and genotype of two varieties almost similar response to different P level.
Days to curd initiation
The effect of different level of phosphorus on days to curd initiation of different varieties showed Table (2) that expressed the cauliflower varieties (P<0.01) and Phosphorus level (P<0.01) were statistically significant but their interaction between them were statistically insignificant (P=0.089). The minimum days to curd initiation (76.12days) obtained at application of 160 kg P ha-1 and maximum days to curd initiation (93.50days) at control treated plants. The application of P level i.e. 100 kgha-1 , 120kgha- 1 and 140kgha-1 had statistically almost similar effect on days to curd initiation of cauliflower varieties. Snow grace varieties had minimum days to curd initiation (81.20 days) which is significantly superior over the Kathmandu local variety (90.55 days). The days to curd initiation decreased with the increased phosphorus level significantly that might be due to its involvement in shorter the vegetative growth period and forced the plants to reach the reproductive stage relatively earlier than other nutrients by increasing metabolic activities in the plan system and involvement in promotion of flower primordial formation earlier. Elahi et al. [13] and Islam et al. [14] found that phosphorus had significant effect in the days required to curd initiation and improved flower formation, fruiting and curd ignition. Similarly, Katiyar [15] and Mitra et al. [16] found that application of phosphorus hastened the crop to reach reproductive stage which is an agreement with the finding of present work. The days to curd initiation was significantly influenced by cauliflower varieties that might be due to the internal genotypic characteristic of varieties that directly determine the period required to curd initiation. The reasons behind this might be days to curd initiation depend on whether the plant is short duration or long duration varieties [17]. Some varieties produce certain chemical signaling that enhance metabolic activities of plant and enhance flowering earlier than other. Saini [18] reported that period for curd initiations were differed among varieties due to the genetic characteristics of the cultivars. The interaction of cauliflower varieties and P level had similar effect on days to curd initiation that might be the genetic responses of two varieties almost similar to the different level of phosphorus on days to curd initiation which is similar result with [13,14].
Root length
The effect of phosphorus level on root length of cauliflower varieties is shown in Table (2) depicted that phosphorus level (P<0.01) and cauliflower varieties (P<0.01) are statistically significant but interaction between them are insignificant (P=0.677). The cauliflower varieties showed maximum root length (28.76cm) with application of 160 kg P ha-1 and minimum root length (12.54cm) at control treated plants. The application of P level i.e.100 kgha-1 and 120kgha-1 had statistically almost similar effect on days to harvest of cauliflower varieties. Kathmandu Local had maximum root length (22.70 cm) which is significantly superior over the Snow Grace variety (18.45cm). The result of the study revealed that increased P level increases root length that might be due to its involvement in promotion of physiological processes in the plant system which leads to increase the root growth that ultimately helps in stimulation of root length in plants. The application of P stimulates cell division in the meristematic region and lead to higher concentration of bioactive gibberellins (GA) that may promote the root growth. Kim et al. [19] stated that increasing P supply increased root growth. Uddain [11] found that Phosphorus exhibited a significant influence on root length of broccoli plants. Kumar et al. [20] found the same trend of the present investigation. The root length was significantly influenced by cauliflower varieties that might be due to the varietal characteristics governing by internal genotypic characteristic of varieties. However, Snow grace having higher yield having minimum root length which might be due to higher Mycorrhizal association in Snow grace [17].

The data regarding the curd weight are shown in Table (2) interpreted that Phosphorus level (P<0.01) and cauliflower varieties (P<0.01) are statistically different as well as interaction between them found significantly different (P= 0.002). The cauliflower varieties showed maximum mean curd weight (0.750kg) with application of 160 kg P ha-1 which is significantly superior to others P levels as well as and as over control treated plant (0.0814kg). Snow grace varieties had high mean curd weight (0.52kg) which is significantly superior over the Kathmandu local variety (0.406kg). These results revealed that increased P level increases curd weight per plant. The reasons behind that its vital role in all physiological and metabolic activities, photosynthesis, cell division and cell enlargement and strongly correlated with all yield attributes. Elahi et al., [13] found that phosphorus had significant influence on curd weight of cultivars and vigorous growths of the plant are correlated with proper nutrition. McPharlin et al., [21] found that phosphorus helps in increment of photosynthesis and proper curd formation. Similarly, Sheppard and Bates [22] reported that yield and chemical composition are related with P level. Randhawa & Bhail [12] reported that more plant curd weight was seen in the plant which received highest level of phosphorus. Uddain [11] found that Phosphorus exhibited a significant influence on main curd weight of broccoli plants.
Saimbhi et al., [23], Balyan et al., [24] and Singh [10] also found similar trend of results as present research finding. The cultivars highly influenced the curd weight per plant as curd weight is determined by environmental factors as well as genetic factors of cultivars.

My Clothes Weigh More Than Me
Alternatively, “The period in history where your child weighs the same as the clothes you wear all day”. Yes. Today I would like to talk about fashion, and my lack thereof. For anyone new, salutations. I am Ashe, I am both a panromantic asexual, and a vampire. Welcome to my hell. Fashion. It had been both the bane of existence and also the funnest thing ever since day zero. It can alternately flatter or disfigure your appearance, no matter what body type, size, height, or gender. If you follow its whims then you are “typical”, or in the newest term, “BASIC.” If you don’t then you get asked why you can’t just wear what everyone else wears, and then get called a lot of very unpleasant and uncalled for names. Witch. Goth. Nerd. Looser. Pansy. The list could honestly go on for days. I grew up in the Victorian age, when everything was about that strange, hourglass shape but if you turned in profile, you almost looked like a very long bird, because the front curved out so far. Fashion then was very strictly divided. If you had boobs, you wore dresses. If you had balls you would trousers. Welcome to hell. Population, you. I had the unfortunate grace to be born with boobs. Well, they came in a matter of course, shut up, you know what I mean. Heathen. Being a girl meant learning how to sew, serve tea, sing, dance, run a house, balance the books, pay the staff, and how to dress so that no one thought you were foreign, or worse, poor. It starts when you’re a child. You’ve got a chemise which is like a full body thin dress made of cotton or muslin. Sometimes with pretty ribbons and ruffled bits. Then you have your dress, made of some other material, more ribbons and bows and lace than any child should be expected to wear, and a pair of stockings and shoes. Fine. You’re covered from neck to ankle in fabric. Then you grow up. You start developing weird bits and your hips are doing this thing and what in the hell is going on down- never mind. Now you’re a young lady. Now, you wear your chemise, and possibly some drawers if you’re feeling too drafty. Then over that goes the first corset. Now about corsets. Before anyone starts in about them being disfiguring cages of hell spawn, just take a breath. There’s this thing called “Going Too Far”. It has happened since the dawn of time. 99% of the populace would wear things in the way they are meant to be worn, and one person has to go the extra mile and add layers or flounces or bows, or something. People do it now! Have you seen some of these people getting plastic surgery until they look like they’re inhuman? That is “going Too Far”. People did it back then, but with clothes. Back to the topic. Corset. You get it on, fairly loose for now, but as time rolls on you will slowly tighten it until it’s firm but still comfortable. Its actually very supportive to the spine and encourages good posture. Tight lacing it would be unwise, but people also used to use arsenic in wallpaper so... Now you put on a petticoat, and another, and then you add hip pads, and a butt pad, and if you’re not full enough in the chest they even made stiff bodices that created that bird-front look. And then more petticoats, and then the dress. By the time you’re tied, buttoned, hooked and pinned in, you’ve got enough layers on that you could cook some ham under that skirt, you need a wide berth so hugging anyone is out of the question, and your clothes could stop a sword. If you put on the LEAST amount possible, it will all weigh about 17lbs. Or, the same as a slightly pudgy chihuahua. If you were kitted out for a formal event, your clothes could weight up to 30lbs, or a small toddler. Men’s clothes were not nearly as restrictive, and I began wearing them in secret as often as possible. My Maker possibly thought I was a man when they made me. Poor chap got one hell of a surprise I think. But men didn’t have nearly the layers and weight of women. Drawers, an undershirt, regular shirt, tie of some sort, waistcoat, trousers, socks, shoes, cuff-links, jacket, coat. And you’re off with hat in hand and you don’t need a perimeter of 6 feet around you to make speaking into a shouting event. After I was Made, it was arranged that my former self had “died” and then I chose to go about as a man all the time. Of course, it was different then, and I didn’t have to worry about getting married, I could be a confirmed bachelor and just do whatever I liked. In the 1900s clothes slimmed down, skirts went up, I still wore pants. Because I have lived a life in skirts. Its bloody inconvenient and too much work. The 1920′s was fun, picture shows became a thing, lots of very cute men, women started wearing pants and suits, and it was quite lovely. Look up Lavender Marriage, it was a thing and it was glorious. Then the 50s came. Skirts, heels, pearls, “How was your day honey?” please god shoot me in the eye. I continued to be a man. Motorcycles are fun, as are leather trousers. Wear a damned helmet you idiot, your skull is not impervious to pavement. I wear one! The 60s was back to nature, lots of people being very high and very friendly and wanting to just lay outside and stare at the sky with you. Also a LOT of nudists came out of hiding. Like, almost too many. Then there was disco. Disco was so fun. It was like the lazy days of the 60s had just been Too Much, and people went overboard in the arts and crafts aisle with all the colour and glitter and the lights and the platform heels even for men. I have shite balance, I wore sneakers and trackies. Track pants. I cannot do the robot or the worm. But comfort was my thing. I do so love glitter tho. Then we have the 80s with the hair bands and the leather and wow that’s a LOT of hairspray. Even I choked, and I don’t need to breathe! But it was glorious, even though shoulder pads should be against the law. Hideous. The 90s went grunge and then pop, and then you lot started being born in the 2000s. But yes. Fashion tends to recycle and also react to what happened before. Bell-bottoms in the ‘60s became flares in the 90s and the 2000s, cigarette pants in the ‘40s became skinny jeans, tattoos and coloured hair came back from the Celts, the Picts, and the Native Americans, Africans, Samoans, and basically every ancient culture ever. Sure, people take it too far, full-body tattoo so you look like a snake (Why won’t anyone hire me?!), tight lacing until you break a rib with your corset, but there’s always going to be those people. For the most part its just a fun way to cover up all the soft squishy bits. Enjoy it. Me, I wear a lot of stretch pants and t-shirts. I cannot be bothered to deal with skirts. Sweatpants are my friend. I’m wearing them now.

Understanding shit tests is important.  Real important.  Not just for navigating your relationships with women, but also for understanding, defining and defending yourself.
Don’t believe me?  Then why did God chronicle the world’s first shit-test in chapter 3 of Genesis, immediately after the trifling matter of the Creation of Heaven and Earth? Before any discussion about, say, the purpose of life, the nature of God or the path to freedom, God sits us down and says, “Okay men, this is how it is. Listen up.”
And yet here we are, eleventy bazillion years later having to relearn the lessons of this primordial story of man vs. woman.  Be of good cheer though. The story is short and the lessons are vivid.
The first shit test
Let’s set the stage:
The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made.  One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”
“Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,” the woman replied.  “It’s only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat.  God said, ‘You must not eat it or even touch it; if you do, you will die.’”
“You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman.  “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”
The woman was convinced.  She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her.  So she took some of the fruit and ate it.  Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too.  At that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness.  Genesis 3, NLT
So what is the shit test?  Simply this: Should Adam take the fruit to please Eve and maintain his relationship with her?  Or should he tell her, ‘Shut up.  Walk away from the talking snake and go back to the tent. I want to be fruitful with you.’
Lesson #1
– this crap isn’t new
God’s response to Eve’s disobedient shit-test is rather enlightening:
“And you will desire to control your husband, but he will rule over you.”
In other words, this tension, this conflict between men and women that we deal with constantly goes back to the very beginning.  First-wave feminists didn’t create it.  Second or third-wave feminists didn’t create it either.  All they’re doing is coming together collectively to do what they can’t do individually – control men.
Feminists will tell you that feminism is all about equality.  ‘Equality’ is a lie.  As it ever was, their desire as women is to rule over you.  Period.
Now fast-forward a couple thousand – or million – years.  Because women haven’t changed, the same admonition is given:
“…you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do.”  1 Peter 3
Now, women wouldn’t be told to submit to men if they weren’t capable of it.  That would just be mean.  But even well-meaning women quite naturally fear what their man would do with his authority if she actually did submit to him.  Letting go, trusting another human being, is hard.  Humans mostly suck.  I get it.  And feminism is always there to stir this fear and distrust.
Managing this age-old conflict requires us to acknowledge their fears and to manifest a solid, trustworthy – if playfully unpredictable – masculinity.
Lesson #2 – Be active not passive
Adam’s punishment is:
“Since you listened to your wife and ate from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat, the ground is cursed because of you.  All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from it.”
Did you catch that?  The cause of Adam’s transgression was that he ‘listened to his wife’ and followed her into disobedience.  Happy wife, happy life my ass!
He should have grabbed the nearest shovel and chopped the serpent’s head off before admonishing his wife for her covetousness – this despite their lavish habitation!  Instead Adam passively sat there as the scene unfolded.
The lesson is simple.  Be active.  Be engaged.  And actually care about your woman.  Sure, many women will call you a bully and say you’re too controlling.  That’s fine.  If you’re in it for an actual relationship, next her.  This one can deal with the ‘serpents of life’ on her own.
Tumblr media
Lesson #3
–Women are gullible and covetous
Women have exquisite feminine virtues based on openness and receptivity that men rightly treasure when we can find it.  Frankly, when we see it, it’s impossibly attractive and intoxicating.  But there’s a flip side to feminine virtue.
When you’re open and receptive, you’re also more easily fooled.
And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result.
And when your nature is to attract and receive, you are also more prone to materialism and covetousness as you search for validation in all the wrong places.
She saw that the tree was beautiful….and she wanted…
This is one reason – there are others – that men should lead women in relationships. It’s not to lord over them abusively or for self-gain.  It’s to provide women a safe space to express and share their feminine nature with us without being taken advantage of.
Conversely, when women call the shots in a relationships, it’s inherently exhausting and ultimately unsatisfying for both of you.  Her covetousness and gullibility will combine to dominate the purpose of the union.  She will see and want and be sold…. a bigger house… a bigger diamond…. a newer car… another expensive vacation… a fairy-tale wedding.  You know the drill.
In the end, her covetousness and gullibility will become your own.  And the things that control her will become your masters.
Tumblr media
Lesson #4 – Lead your woman, or else..
Let’s game this out. There’s a period of time when Eve has taken the fruit but Adam hasn’t.  At this point, Adam has two choices . He can follow Eve – submitting to her – or follow God.  In the end of course, he submits to Eve.
But why did he chose Eve over God knowing it was wrong?  Because he was afraid of losing his relationship with her which he treasured, a relationship marked by unquestioned trust and pure physical and emotional intimacy. Sounds good right?
In the end though – and this is the lesson for us – by selling out his own integrity and his call to leadership, he ended up losing the very relationship he sought to protect.  In its place, he received a new relationship with Eve marked by distrust, conflict and competition.
Likewise, when we abdicate leadership, when we sell out our own integrity, we lose self-respect first, and then in turn, her respect.  And then the relationship either ends, or worse, it lingers in blue-pill hell. There is simply no acceptable alternative to men leading relationships.
Conclusion
So there it is. Nothing new is under the sun.  Women are the same as they’ve ever been.  And the tension between us is as old as humanity – baked into the heart of every man and woman.
So what do we do?  Well, what did Adam do?  He picked himself up after that colossal shit-test failure to end all shit-test failures and took the red pill.
Then the man—Adam—named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all who live.
In other words, he takes his authority back and moves forward the best he can, perhaps having learned a little along the way.  Oh, and he take Eve back to the tent.  And she follows.

Tumblr media
Television and movie wives have been a staple in the fabric of American entertainment for as long as any of us can remember.  From Carol Brady to Joanna Eberhart to Skyler White, these women have influenced western culture for decades.  But as the years passed, masculine traits began to seep into their personas like a slow poison and before we knew it the on-screen traditional American Housewife was extinct.  It wasn’t long before women in the U.S. predictably followed suit.  A quick look at the steep decline over the last 60 years sheds light on this runaway train.
Leave It To Beaver
The 50s and 60s gave us June Cleaver, the gold standard of what a wife should be.  Doting, nurturing, and supportive, Mrs. Cleaver was the picture of femininity and grace. Her loyalty and deference to her protective, capable husband was the blueprint for women to emulate if they wanted a chance at a happy and fulfilling life as a domesticated homemaker.
The Cosby Show
Clair Huxtable was the TV wife of the 80s but this is where we start to see a noticeable change.  While it’s presumed that Cliff is the de facto head of household, it becomes rather clear that Mrs. Huxtable is the man of the house. When there was discourse in the family Cliff stepped in a precious few times while Claire was the judge, jury, and executioner much more often than not.  The icing on the cake was that she, of all things, was a lawyer (and we all know how happy and fulfilled female attorneys are).
King Of Queens
The late 90s and early 2000s all but put the nail in the coffin of the traditional on screen housewife by force feeding Carrie Heffernan down our collective throats.  The witty Mrs. Heffernan was a slick talking, fist pumping paralegal with a brash attitude and a short temper.  She undoubtedly wore the pants in this relationship which was evident from the very beginning.  Carrie’s only redeeming qualities were her perky tits and ample ass but weight gain quickly diminished her aesthetically pleasing figure. Surprise, surprise.
Last of a dying breed
One of the last great television/movie wives makes her first appearance in the 1976 motion picture, Rocky.  This timid but cute pet shop employee that stole Rocky’s heart is none other than Adrian Pennino, who later became who we all know as Adrian Balboa. Most of us know the Rocky story but few acknowledge the true reasons she played such an important role in his life.  One of those reasons was that she was a quality woman.
Tumblr media
When Adrian met Rocky she was a shy, young, pretty girl with a submissive demeanor.  Best of all, she hadn’t so much as gotten in line to ride the carousel.  Yes, gentlemen, Adrian was a virgin.  Now Rocky wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed but even he recognized that women like her were becoming increasingly rare so he did what any man would do and took her off the market immediately.
Adrian enthusiastically took to her role as Rocky’s girl as would any woman in love.  Aside from cooking the meat he famously tenderized with his fists, she studiously tended to his aches and pains from training, enthusiastically offered him post-training sex, and supported him when he doubted his ability to go the distance in his upcoming fight against the heavyweight champion of the world, Apollo Creed. All of this was before she became his wife. Adrian added real value to Rocky’s life because she followed his lead and seemed to be the genuine article as far as quality women go.
The other reason Adrian brought the best out of Rocky is one that is oft missed by the blue pill masses.  As innocent and rare as the future Mrs. Balboa seemed to be, let’s not forget one important factor: she was a woman.  And while every woman is unique in her own way, their operating systems are identical. That is, all women shit test! From the most chaste Madonnas to the sluttiest whores, all women are programmed to test your mettle as a man.  The reason for this is simple: if a woman is going to invest 9 months of her life carrying a man’s seed, she’s going to make damn sure that he has strong, masculine genes that will be passed on to her offspring.  As a result, her operating system kicks in and employs a series of tests to ensure that he is a worthy donor.
Now keep in mind that most of the time this is all done on a subconscious level. When a dominant alpha male gives her ‘gina tingles, she’s seldom thinking thoughts like “This man is displaying masculine traits that I want passed on to my young.  I must mate with him.”  All she knows is that she wants to be fucked stupid and her hamster is in overdrive searching for reason to justify it.  She is utterly incapable explaining her insatiable desire for all of her holes to be plundered by alpha cock but her OS is on auto pilot making sure she isn’t about to be impregnated by some spineless beta.  Concepts like “shit test” and “cock carousel” hadn’t been given actual names until recently but you can bet your salty man juice makers that they were all too prominent back in the 70s.
That said here are the 4 most important shit tests of one Adrian Balboa.
Shit Test #1: His way of life
Adrian:  “Why do you wanna fight?”
Rocky:  “Because I can’t sing or dance!”
Right off the bat she tests his manhood by challenging his lifestyle early on during their first date.  The answer Rocky gives her is brilliant because it sets the tone for the relationship.  His response tells her in no uncertain terms “Well that’s a silly question, so I’ll give a silly answer.”  He does what he wants and doesn’t feel the need to justify this to her or anyone else.  Alpha move, Stallion.  He passes her shit test with flying colors and is handsomely rewarded with her virginity.  (see: Shit Test #2)
Shit Test #2: My brother is my keeper
So now Adrian has the tingles and finds herself in Rocky’s apartment.  The slut shields are definitely up as she goes full throttle with some of the most impressive, rapid fire LMR (last-minute resistance) I’ve ever seen.  We all know that LMR is just another shit test and so did the Italian Stallion. So he summons his inner Don Juan and systematically disarms every layer of her defenses.
Adrian: “ I wanna let my brother know where I am.  I think he might be worried.”
Rocky:  “I’ll call your brother.”
<Rocky flings open the window>
Rocky:  “Yo Paulie!!!!  Your sister’s with me!!!  I’ll call ya later!!!”
Well played.  Adrian knows damn well that Paulie was probably too drunk to care about much of anything.  She’s standing by the door so she’s definitely hesitant about the situation she’s in but she’s still there.  Her hamster is out of control waiting to be satiated.  Rocky, who is completely relaxed on his couch, stays in the set.
Adrian:  “I don’t belong here.”
Rocky:  “It’s alright—you’re my guest.”
Adrian:  “I’ve never been in a man’s apartment before.”
Rocky:  “They’re all the same.” <gesturing>
This was handled beautifully with gentle, well placed sarcasm.  Her snowflaking (yes, virgins snowflake too) doesn’t phase him in the least. She’s sitting with him at this point so her defenses are weakening.  Being keenly aware of this, Rocky moves in for the kill:
Adrian:  “I don’t think I’m comfortable.  I should leave.”
<Adrian stands up>
Rocky:  “But I’m willin’ to make the best of this uncomfortable situation”
<Adrian moves to the door.  Rocky intercepts her>
Rocky:  <softly>  “Would you take off your glasses?”
Adrian:  <dumbfounded>  “What?”
Rocky:  “The glasses….please.”
<Rocky removes her glasses>
Adrian:  <timidly>  “T-Thank you.”
Rocky:  “Do me another favor?”
Adrian:  “What?”
Rocky:  “Could ya take off that hat?”
<Adrian takes off her hat and becomes rather attractive>
Rocky:  “I always knew you was pretty”
Adrian:  “Don’t tease me…”
…and she was his for the taking.  Masterful escalation by the champ. He had a clear understanding that Adrian’s introverted disposition combined with her lack of sexual experience meant he would have to gently and carefully escalate lest he scare his prey away.
Tumblr media
The look in a woman’s eyes when LMR is destroyed
Throughout the exchange her body language quickly went from “no” to “yes”.  Even when she made an “attempt” to leave she offered little resistance when Rocky intercepted her at the door.  She wanted to be taken as all women do. As soon as she lost her hat and those horrific glasses, her deflowering was a foregone conclusion.  Adrian never stood a chance.
Shit Test #3: Apollo is bad for your health
Fast forward 6 months.  Rocky is basking in the afterglow of his new found celebrity after nearly pulling off the greatest upset in the history of boxing since Cassius Clay beat Sonny Liston in 1964. Things could not be better.  He’s got a little extra coin from his share of the purse from the Creed fight, Adrian is now his wife and pregnant with his child, and he is Philadelphia’s new favorite son.  Life is pretty damn good.
But it’s not long before the money runs dry and the Balboas fall on hard times.  Rocky’s provider instinct kicks in and tells him to get back in the ring to support his growing family.   And wouldn’t you know it, the perfect opportunity to drops into his lap when Apollo Creed challenges him to a rematch that would be worth millions.  Slam dunk, right?
Wrong.  The newly minted Mrs. Balboa forbids her husband to trade punches with the champion because she’s “worried about his long term health”.  While this is very noble of her, this is simply another shit test.  No woman in her right mind would prohibit her husband from accepting an opportunity to set the family for life financially.  Sure, Adrian pouts and protests but her hamster secretly wants Rocky to defy her and maintain his alpha status to reassure her that the decision she made to willingly accept his seed was the correct one.
Her hamster gets its wish and true to form she throws a fit (another shit test). But like the true alpha he is, Rocky stays the course. Adrian eventually comes around (as women who belong to alphas always do) and watches her husband become the new heavyweight champion of the world, forever changing their lives.
Shit Test #4: You can’t win!
The last and final shit test administered by Mrs. Balboa was the most significant because Rocky is literally risking his life having agreed to fight his most deadly opponent, Ivan Drago.  At 6’6” and 260 lbs, Drago was a lightening quick fighter with super human strength.  That strength was on full display when he killed Apollo Creed in an exhibition bout.
Tumblr media
Drago kills Creed
Balboa and Creed became best friends when they joined forces to help Rocky regain the heavyweight title he lost to another fierce opponent, Clubber Lang.  When Apollo died in the ring at the hands of Drago, Rocky’s objective was clear:  avenge his fallen comrade.
When Adrian learns of his decision, she hits him with everything she’s got to try to talk him out of it.  She broke out the heavy artillery telling him this fight was suicide among other things.  She even tells him “You can’t win!”  Brutal. But Rocky Balboa is a true alpha and regardless of what the love of his life thought, said, or did, he knew he had to stick to his guns.  Fresh out of options, she pulls a last second power move and tells Rocky she would not be going with him to Moscow to support him ringside.  This, gentlemen, is a major league shit test.  Even the most battle-hardened Super Alpha would be hard pressed to admit that he didn’t, at the very least, reconsider his decision.  Remember, he’s been married this woman for years and truly loves her so it could not have been easy to get on that plane by himself.  But like before, Rocky stays true to his task and starts his journey alone.  And like before, Adrian rushes to his side and cheers him to victory.

Conclusion
While it’s common knowledge amongst ROK readers that women aren’t as necessary as they once were for a man’s long term success and fulfillment, there’s no denying that a good woman has the potential to increase a man’s value as well as his quality of life.  Don’t get me wrong, banging sluts is great fun—there are plenty to go around and the abundant supply isn’t dwindling any time soon.  But when a man gets his hands on a decent woman who understands and abides by traditional sex roles, has no discernible signs of having ridden the carousel, and finds legitimate joy in pleasing him, it would be to his advantage to let her stick around for a while.  Rocky understood this and acted accordingly.
Now Adrian could certainly be a handful as we’ve seen above.  But make no mistake about the fact that she tipped the balance in her husband’s favor in the two most difficult fights of his life.  Never forget that before Adrian showed Rocky her support for his rematch against Creed, Rocky wasn’t giving it all he had during his training.  The fact that his new wife didn’t have his back visibly affected him.  Ready or not he was getting in that ring because it was what he had to do as a man. But if he continued his half-assed training, Apollo would have most assuredly ended Balboa’s career, or worse. It wasn’t until Adrian told him she wanted him to win did he train with the conviction necessary to dethrone the champion.  The same thing happened in Russia.  Rocky started his journey alone but Adrian’s physical presence gave him the extra resolve to beat Drago.
Few titles in this world are more alpha than Heavy Weight Champion of the World.  The money, fame, and status that comes along with this title is more than enough to satisfy the hypergamy of the vast majority of woman.  But regardless of title, wealth, or social standing, women will always be women and the shit tests are coming.  Count on it.  Rocky loved his Adrian but his mission came before her and it showed.  As a result, she grew more attracted to him with every shit test he passed.  Even when he risked his life by fighting Ivan Drago, Adrian couldn’t help but be more drawn to him, win or lose (Roissy Maxim #200:  Chicks dig guys willing to risk an early, gruesome death.  Expendability is a DHV).
But what if Rocky tried to justify himself when Adrian questioned his way of life or gave up trying to close the deal when she threw up that epic LMR?  And what if he backed out of the rematch against Creed or caved into her demands to throw in the towel against Drago?  Chances are he would never have had the spectacular life he was afforded as a result of failing her shit tests.  Sure, he may have been able to accomplish a few minor goals here and there but Adrian’s attraction and devotion to him would have been gravely compromised.  On the other hand he may have had a great life had he never met her.  Being a single, rich, champion prize fighter would have offered him unlimited access to the paradise of poon.  As awesome as that life would be let’s not kid ourselves here fellas—nothing feels better than having a quality woman in your corner. But if you want a quality woman you have got to be alpha because all. women. are. like. that.  Even the rarest of snowflakes like Adrian Balboa.

Earlier this month, Harry Styles unveiled the details of his hotly anticipated new album, Fine Line – out, incidentally, on 13th December. The cover offers a lot to unpack. It’s shot by Tim Walker, fashion’s most whimsical imagemaker, through a fisheye lens (a Walker trademark) and features a sumptuous, pastel-hued set designed by Shona Heath. At its centre stands Styles, resplendent in a fuschia silk blouse and matching suspenders, his hair quaffed, hips popped, with one hand pointing to the ground. But for all the cover’s beauty, and Styles’ directive hand gesture, all we can focus on are his wildly wide-legged, sailor-style trousers, replete with high waist and gold buttons.
The singer’s eye-catching ensemble, no one will be surprised to learn, is bespoke Gucci – Alessandro Michele is a close friend of Styles’, who is an ambassador for the Italian fashion house – and was styled by Styles’ recurring collaborator, Harry Lambert. It’s typical of Styles’ gender-fluid aesthetic – as he told The Face earlier this year,​“What’s feminine and what’s masculine, what men are wearing and what women are wearing – it’s like there are no lines any more.” And indeed, in his bold choice of baggy trouser – a trend that has made a notable comeback in menswear this year, as evidenced on the runways of Marni, Versace, Off-White, Jacquemus and more – he follows in a long line of men and women who have championed the look.
Perhaps the first example of wide-legged trousers in Western history is the bell-bottom, adopted as standard uniform by sailors in the 19th century because they were easy to roll up in high water. They next emerged at Oxford University in the 1920s, in the form of Oxford bags: billowing trousers, with an ankle width of up to 25 inches, worn by student rowers, who liked to slip them over their rowing shorts on cold mornings, sparking a widespread craze thereafter.
An article published in The Guardian in May 1925 proclaimed, ​“The great majority of undergraduates have succumbed to the prevailing fashion. Some have done so in greater and some in lesser degree, for the law of the baggy trousers is a very flexible one and admits of many interpretations.” In their dissection of the look, the writer touches upon a point that has remained relevant of the baggy trouser throughout its history: it is a bold, unapologetic style, intended to make a statement.
This was certainly the case when it entered the realm of women’s fashion – also in the 1920s – offering a casual alternative to skirts and corsets. Coco Chanel, who is said to have dressed in her boyfriend’s suits in her youth, was an early pioneer of the trend, creating elegant, relaxed-style trousers for women to wear while playing sports. By the 1930s, wide-legged trousers were being worn for the everyday, a fashion led by the likes of Katherine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich, who were stylishly indifferent to the controversy they caused.
The Second World War and its attendant financial and practical concerns saw the baggy trouser trend lie dormant for a while, but their comeback in the 1960s was a whole new chapter. Enter, the flare: expansive descendent of the bell-bottom, a style first adopted by the peace-loving, convention-rejecting hippie movement in the mid-60s. By the end of the decade, flares were everywhere, their mainstream appeal largely propagated by musicians of the era – everyone from rock ​’n’ roll gender-benders Mick Jagger and David Bowie to pop stars like Sonny and Cher and ABBA, and R&B legends Earth, Wind and Fire, flaunted the flamboyant trouser.
The ​’70s provided an abundance of landmark moments for the free-flowing trouser in other cultural spheres too: the re-emergence of Oxford bags, courtesy of the British Northern Soul community, whose famously frenetic dance moves were facilitated by their capacious attire; Yves Saint Laurent’s lauded (and loose-legged) women’s pantsuit, Le Smoking, as captured by Helmut Newton in 1975; Diane Keaton’s baggy beige numbers in Annie Hall (1977) and John Travolta’s striking slacks in 1977’s cult disco drama, Saturday Night Fever, aptly described by The Guardian as the flare’s swansong.
Karl Kani
During the ​’80s, wide-legged trousers saw a dip in popularity, side-lined by leggings and slim-fit jeans. Once again, it was music that sparked a baggy pant revival – by the mid-90s, they’d become a mainstay of grunge (think: Kurt Cobain’s loose-fit, ripped Levi’s), acid house (whether in dungaree or sweatpant form) and, of course, ​’90s hip hop, from Tupac and Marky Mark to MC Hammer, whose singular take on harem trousers became a fixture in the sartorial lexicon. In all three instances, the adoption of a wide-leg trouser makes sense – not only in terms of the physical liberation they offered as a form of dancewear (in the case of the latter two movements), but also because these subcultures were defined by their rejection of mainstream values, of the commerciality and conservatism of the decade and the distinct inequality this spawned.
As before, the baggy trouser could be seen as an act of rebellion, while neatly aligning with 1920s economist George Taylor’s Hemline Index, the theory that, to quote Ronald Chan writing for Reuters, ​“when hemlines go up – think mini-skirts – the economy looks rosy and everyone is optimistic. When hemlines go down – think long dresses [or in our case, commodious trousers] – the economy looks uncertain and gloominess prevails.” Of course, wide-leg pants soon entered the world of mainstream ​’90s fashion too, with American designer Karl Kani emerging as the reigning king of baggy denim, sported by every reputable hip-hop and R&B star of the decade, regardless of gender; and brands like Kikwear, UFO and JNCO creating perhaps the most excessively loose (“phat”) pants to date, a look embraced by ravers and skaters alike.
Since the dawn of the 21st century wide-legged trousers have made regular reappearances – from their frequent gracing of the Gucci runway during the ​’00s to Phoebe Philo’s memorable revival of the style during her esteemed tenure at Céline, from their prominent role in the ongoing street and workwear revival, right up to their current favour among menswear designers. Which brings us back to where we began: Styles’ new, wonderfully ostentatious addition to the baggy trouser timeline. These brazen bloomers feel like a powerful sign of our times – as their storied history attests, they’re so much more than a nostalgic fashion throwback, they’re a subversive, gender-bending sartorial statement that continues to crop up (or billow out) right when we need it most.

I will come back and add more for personality as time goes on. Also, in honor of tWitch, I put him as part of the people in the dance claim inspiration, and in honor of Gangsta Boo, Natina Reed, and Chynna, I put them in the rap claim inspiration, and I kept reminding myself to add them there, but I forgot. May they all rest easy :(. For the sake of this story, she’s a versatile music artist, rapper, and dancer in the music and dance world, and there will be songs that my oc releases, but they will be on an album in a different era if that makes sense.
