Profiles in Villainy
Cobra Commander 
The fanatical leader who rules the terrorist organization known as Cobra, the enigmatic Cobra Commander demands complete loyalty and allegiance from his followers. His objective is total control of the world's governments, people, wealth, and resources, brought about by revolution and chaos. 
Over the years, Cobra Commander has suffered assassination attempts, and even an imposter posing as him for a time. However, he has always managed to find a way out of every situation, having become a constant foil for the G.I. Joe Team, who have ended up fighting Cobra almost exclusively. No matter how dire or unscathed, the villain’s hatred and drive have only grown more ruthless.
There is some indication that the Commander may have heralded from a secretive offshoot of humanity located in a hidden city known as Cobra-La.  An ambitious soldier, he was sent out into the world of humans so to destabilize humanity’s global defenses and ready it for conquest by the forces of Cobra-La.  He ultimately failed in this regard and was punished by Cobra-La’s leader, Globulous, who transformed the Commander into a snake.  Yet somehow he got better or something happened... whatever the case Cobra Commander ultimately returned as the leader of Cobra, more hysterically driven and maniacal as ever.      
Tumblr media
Actor Chris Latta provided the villain’s shrill voice in his original appearance on the animated series, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero.  Subsequent cartoons have seen the villain voiced by actors Chris Latta, Scott McNeil, Michael Dobson, Robert Baker and others.    Cobra Commander first appeared in the debut episode of G.I.Joe: A Real American Hero, airing on September 12th, 1983.

Now that it’s been long enough. Skybound’s big reveal on Megatron’s whereabouts: he’s in Cobra-La being studied by Cobra Commander’s science division against Golobulus’ wishes. For awhile there was the meme about Optimus wearing Megatron’s arm, and since Megatron seems to be missing both arms, I wondered what it’d be like if he got a Cobra-La replacement arm. Sort of the rough idea I had was an organic Guyver version of the dead Prime arm, but experimented with making his arm a transforming version of Serpentor’s chariot thing. In vehicle mode, I saw him having a big snake turret because I think it’s funny.
A fan thing I had in mind for Skybound was a team of Cobracons that consist of Iguanus, Slitherfang, Gatoraider, Deathcobra, Billy (based on the Cobra Commander’s son version from IDW’s TF vs Joes series) and Pythona. Megatron would have a role, but I also saw Starscream become a Python Patrol jet, only his null rays are snakes for a visual gag.

Terry asking you to have his child, you tearing up, honored, asking if that’s what he really wants, him reassessing You
---
There was something to be said about contrasts;
Terry Silver was always huge on contraceptives.
Implants, injections, caps, condoms, patches and diaphragms. Regular check-ups. Printed results in black and white. Diagnosis. Vasectomies and going as far as mandatory sterilization. He even had a fundraiser in the 80's promoting the joys of safe sex, something that infinitely amused him considering he was known to be something of a lothario around town. He did it ironically, as an inside joke to himself as much as he did it because it was legitimately profitable and funny. His own private doctors imbued him with a near archived collection of medication for each for his conquests, specifically tailored for the situation at hand; it was one of the requirements of keeping his exclusive company, not unlike a written-out contract put together by a team of lawyers. Terms, conditions, consent and the bottom-line. Being a successful playboy came with certain rules of its own --- otherwise, he wouldn't be such an expert at it for so long, instead, he'd be embroidered in at least several scandals involving unexpected consequences, and he did want to be above the petty squabbles of the LA Jet-Set whose names were constantly in the media as a negative. You maintain my good graces, you use these accordingly and you stay clean until I so desire, male, female or otherwise, until dismissed --- those were the thoughts in his mind. It was simply called being strategic, antiseptic and maintaining immaculate control of the situation --- keep his reputation pristine; something he picked up from the guys during the war; smart boys are always wrapping up when crossing the red zone and not coming back home sick as dogs. Even posters in the army were advertising the message. He left nothing up to chance, for decades, wanting to know the in's and out's of the bodies of the people that he kept in his bed. If Terry could practically splice them open to check the mechanics of their insides after he's fucked them, he would.
Then, there were those rarer occasions.
Occasions where he wanted all the cabinet pills thrown out.
Often times, Terry thought, that if Johnny could, he would've poked holes in the rubber a long time ago to ensure his dear, darling Captain has reasons to stay by his side forever and always, but alas, Johnny had no womb, instead, Cobra Kai, the dojo he's bought for him after the war was their baby. Their infant. They, the respective happy fathers of the newborn serpent. He always enjoyed the idea of tying those he loved to himself, irrevocably, through the matters of the flesh (or materialism, if all else failed), particles uniting, blood and water and his seed; that feeling possessed him once more when you came along and now his control went the other direction; ensuring you use no contraceptives at all. He wanted you raw, with nothing holding him back, as per instinct, and he knew what that meant. You're mine and I want to continue through you. United, mind, body and soul. Terry idly toys with the flesh of his forefinger, where his signet ring used to stand, now discarded on the night table alongside his watch and other jewelry; there is an odd sore there as he smiles and says, laying next to you in bed, the ritual about to commence. -"So, how about that baby then, huh?"- He just utters it. Terry has brought this up to you before, talking about it bluntly and matter-of-factly like someone ordering a martini. I want a legacy with a garnish and crushed ice. Serve it to me. You agreed to it then, getting emotional at the thought of having his children (he relished in that reaction), asking him if he is certain, time and time again, practically interviewing him to see if he'll change his mind, and no, he wouldn't. Terry knew what he wanted, when he wanted it and who he wanted it with. You snuggle close to him and he's on top of you then, grinning, immediately taking charge. He was ready to create a second him.

CAP 2
10/26/2022
OASIS Company
Russia border
2000 UTC+0
If my calculations are correct, I should be in the UK right now, reporting on the terrorist Hassan and meeting my team for a limited time, but plans have changed and I am on the Russian border. An informant that I keep infiltrating a Russian terrorist base gave me the report that Hasan's men were transporting another missile to who knows where.
The cold seeped into my bones and it was unbearable, the heat was my thing, I'd rather be inside a burning fireplace than in this place.
If long story of the chimney.
─Here HADES a bravo 0-7, we are 7 minutes from the runway of the base, nobody take your eyes off the surroundings, they could be waiting for us.─ Communicate on the JEEP radio.
Thank God the wheels had chains, because at the speed we were going we would already be spinning non-stop.
─Okay guys, target in sight, let's take the party to the venue.
The plane was right under our noses, but the ambush was almost surprise.
─ATTACK, WE CANNOT LOSE THAT DAMN PLANE.
─RPG!!
Shouted one of my men.
I wouldn't be left behind, I reached for one of the RPG missile launchers from the truck and aimed at the wheels of the plane.
─Clean up the place, we have orders to destroy the missile.─ I yelled into the radio.─ Big Guy touches you, go and massacre everyone left in the base, Williams and Steve follow the lieutenant.
We swept every corner of the base eliminating anything that moved in place, it was time to destroy the missile.
What the hell is all this?
─There is nothing. I whispered.
─It was all a trap, they knew we were coming, but how? ─ Everyone had their eyes on me.
This was all either by sheer luck or they knew about my informant.
─Communicate with Phil to get out of that place throwing milk.─ I moved away from my platoon to be able to breathe calmly.─ Here Hades to watcher-1, do you copy me?
─Here watcher-1 tell me the situation.
─It was all a farce, there was nothing inside the plane.
─Damn, well don't worry, take a direct plane to Mexico, I'll give you the exact location where you should go, the team will leave at 0600 the next day.
─Understood ma'am, over and out.
1000 (UTC-6)
Alexandra "Hades" Carter
Las Almas, Mexico.
The turbulence of the plane managed to wake me up, we are about to land and I needed to get ready. The doors opened and a man was waiting for me in the distance.
He doesn't have the face of being a Colonel
─Colonel Vargas? ─ I asked stretching out my hand.
─Lieutenant Rodolfo Parra, I'm sorry, the lieutenant is on his way to where Hassan is being held, you must be Miss Alexandra Cartel.─ I shake my hand.
─Call me Hades, a pleasure.
He was handsome, I must admit, wide nose, prominent body, not too tall and not too short, the perfect height, rectangular and clean face, as if he had recently shaved.
─I'll take her, follow me, we're not too far from the place.
We both got into the black Jeep's with tinted windows, Parra stopped at the passenger door and opened it for me to pass.
─Ladies first.
─Thank you very much, sir.─ I smiled in his direction.
The second lieutenant walked around the jeep and got into the driver's seat.
─ Do you speak Spanish?
─A little Wey.
Parra chuckled nasally as he moved the gear stick and started the vehicle smoothly.
─You must be more used to Portuguese, right? I say this for all the times you were in Brazil.
─ Oh you know me then?
─Who doesn't know you, it would have been a pleasure working with you last year, we learned two weeks later that your group was the one that gave up on the cobra.
─That's right, what a time, I hope that son of a bitch is rotting underground.
─Surely so, I take many innocent lives, thanks to you Toluca rests in peace, not as many murders are reported as before.
-It's good to hear.
The conversation continued, while we were heading towards the destination, for he told me many things, the one that caught my attention the most was that of "No Name" a drug trafficker who had been trying to locate him for some time.
The vehicle stopped on the dirt roads, both could hear the shots inside the community where Hassan was being kept.
─Victor 2 here, I'm at the entrance together with Captain Hades.
─Víctor 1, it's good to hear it, move on, we've cleared the entire beginning, keep your eyes open.
Arrange my weapon and advance in line along with Parra.
─Victor-2, I am 1-1, spread smoke, we go outside.
“Copied, smoke out.
Parra took out smoke grenades and threw them, creating a smoke screen.
─All Victor, target building secured, Hassan not here.─ It was heard through the radio line.
“Damn, they must have moved it.
─Yes…
Truck engines began to be heard.
─Commander is the army!
─They are not the good ones, are they? ─ I asked hiding behind a column.
─No, they are not, we must go back, walking.
We come across the remains of cowboys and start running.
─We are far away, we must return to the refuge, walking, Commander, everything in order.
-Any order?
─Nothing for now, I can't communicate with them.
─Well, Bravo 001 is here in command for now, let's evacuate and try to communicate with the colonel.
A yes ma'am, he resounded in the place.
─This is Shadow-1, copy me, I repeat copy me.─ Another unfamiliar voice was heard.
─This is Bravo-001, this is Captain Hades, we have lost communication with Victor-1.
─This is Commander Graves, from Shadow-1, we have located Colonel Vargas and the 1-4-1 team.
─ Good.
─All stations, no hostile station detected, advance, Captain Hades, we have communication with the colonel, and we have clues as to where Hassan is.
─Send them to me, we'll go visit.─ I growled starting the truck.
─Copied.
That son of a bitch is mine.

Casually thrown over top her slip dress, Emma wore the Jacquemus Bahia Self-Tie Draped Shirt in White ($605.00).

The squinting paid off! This isn’t just any white shirt, but the same one Emma wore to the Schiaparelli fashion show nearly a year ago!

So I'm thinking about doing commissions for rp icons being as I'm unable to work due to a leg injury that has left me unable to be on my feet for long and I am needed at home to assist in care for my disabled mother and grandmother. So I would like to do commissions for icons to help pay for things I need like food and meds and things. These will only be base icons because right now I only use photoscape to edit. That may change in the future. I'll post samples and if enough people are interested I will begin doing this.
Shows I will do icons for right now:
Arrow
The Flash
Chicago Fire
Chicago PD
Fire Country
Seal Team
Bones
Supernatural
Teen Wolf
Cobra Kai
Shadowhunters
Bates Motel
Legends Of Tomorrow
Stranger Things
911 and 911 Lonestar
NCIS
NCIS LA
NCIS New Orleans
Hawaii Five-0
Magnum PI

DAE notice Bones has an even stronger Arthurian ensemble-parallel than the subtext-parallel people thought was happening on The Librarians or whatever “The Fisher King” made Criminal Minds try and force. And it’s not just a case of character arcs kinda vaguely matching or whatever’s the usual basis for fusion!AUs but stuff like the whole “king of the lab” competition (with the “rightful king” going up against the guy who ended up betraying the group) or “Lancelot” Sweets (who apparently did have a thing for Angela at one point) or Booth getting called Sir Galahad twice in the show (I wouldn’t take it as part of the pattern if it was just that one instance and “knighting” in The Yanks In The UK but there’s one episode where he’s iirc literally called that by Caroline, that one season premiere where Booth and Brennan are coming back from time spent apart from both each other and the lab as he was training soldiers in Afghanistan while she was on some jungle expedition).
Since there is also canonical magic in that universe now I’m just wanting some AU where some magical thing like Brennan finding some artifact connected to all that or some inadvertent intervention by the psychic character fittingly (albeit not meaning she’s part of this as she has a name of a place from that) named Avalon (perhaps someone had other reason to want some kind of past-life regression or w/e) starts waking some of the team back up to who they were in Camelot before being reborn (others might need a little push, y’know, think OUAT S1) and some (like a skeptical-until-then-but-still-trying-to-Scully-things-even-after Brennan) even gain the magical abilities their past lives/selves had. And once everyone who had a past incarnation in Camelot fully Operation-Cobras up to it then “the king of the lab and the knights of the forensic table” start fighting some supernatural crime too a la The Librarians as you’re much more likely to be able to hide that you’re after the magic angle if you fight regular crime by profession anyway and can say you’re there for what it looks like to normal eyes.

For me an issue I have with the Robby/Johnny plot, and it's something I've always wanted... Is Robby has never been shown to be validated in his anger towards Johnny. In fact through out the series it's shown each time he fights, Johnny saunters off, and that could have been addressed to where he needs to stick around and let Robby be angry, but really the writers are kind of saying the only way Robby can have a relationship with Johnny is to just get over everything, and suck it up? And like it would be nice to see Robby forgiving him if the writers were better at showing Johnny fighting more for him? And the only scenes we got back in LA were with Johnny, Robby and Miguel. Robby may have been messing with Johnny about the fatherly advice [which OK Miguel laughing at this made me think of Good Boy when they were teaming up on Johnny. It was beautiful], but no I want fatherly advice from Johnny to Robby. Not just him being like "I know you regret what happened with Miguel" like give him advice that has nothing to do with Miguel? Like girl advice with Tory or something, or advice on trying to get Tory and Kenny out of Cobra Kai. Like I'm happy with scenes we got, but it could have been more I think? IDK maybe I am just way too picky.
I'm in two minds here, because while I love everything we did get with Robby and Johnny this season, it does feel incomplete to me. Like there is this big elephant in the room that they still haven't really talked about.
The season on the whole was really strong on multiple fronts and it's a really crowded story-line. I really feel like they needed at least one more episode to tell the story they wanted to tell completely. There was just not enough time with any one line - however it was so fast paced and a wild ride, so it never dragged on.
But we definitely miss out on a lot of Robby's story, and important moments are left off-screen and to be inferred. In some ways, making quick work of Robby, Miguel and Hawk becoming a bit of a brotp so we could get to the fun 'everybody working together' bits was good. - but I still would have really liked to seem some of those conversations.
He doesn't get much emotional catharsis or validation this season. He does a lot of making amends and trying to help others, which is great and very on-brand and I love it for him, and I actually really enjoyed him and Miguel finally using their words and realising how similar they are and him coming round to elevate Daniel out of his pit of self-loathing - there is a lot of great stuff but... We don't get to see enough of people elevating him in return. It does feel a lot like Robby has pushed down his issues rather than really dealing with them - which isn't great.
I get that this season was a rollercoaster, I really wanted to see more of Johnny really focusing on Robby and it would have been much more emotionally satisfying for me than then main plot-line we did get. I wish the narrative energy spent on karate-baby had instead been spent on Johnny and Robby and leaning into the found family vibes.
But I think I'm going to make a separate post about how I would have handled it differently.

DON'T LIKE HISTORY
People keep telling me they're not into history. If they're thinking about high school, textbooks, or documentaries on the history channel, then I understand completely. Forced learning stinks for sure. Especially when it's about something long ago or in a faraway land.
I see it differently. I would argue that most love history. Their formal K-12 school education setting and style aren't the first thing I see. Like the title character in the August Rush movie, history "is all around us."
Tumblr media
We think of famous architecture and landmarks.
Tumblr media
It almost doesn't matter what you do enjoy. Most likely, you do enjoy history. Let me prove it to you.
Sports is the number one pastime in America. Can a football fan tell you the famous players and games by their team? If I say, Walter Payton or Joe Montana, do they know who I'm talking about? Of course, they do. Just like Wayne Gretzky or Bobby Orr in hockey,
Tumblr media
Mickey Mantle and Ozzie Smith in baseball,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
or Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain in basketball. They know about the Ice Bowl, the Miracle on Ice, the 1989 Bay Area World Series, and recognize the Triple Crown Award (more than one sport).
How about Heisman Winners in the past? How many great college players can you name that were terrible in the pros? I can name several and I am no expert. Who were the best college players ever?
Tumblr media
Has anyone ever moved through a defensive line like Barry Sanders or will anyone ever again? I miss watching that guy play!
Tumblr media
Car buffs love their cars. Some love the Shelby Cobra and others go back to the Duesenberg and Vauxhall's.
Tumblr media
Cars have become a part of Hollywood lore as well, with Knight Rider, The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team, the Batmobile, the Ghostbusters ambulance, and Jurassic Park jeeps.
Tumblr media
I love movies and thought about going to USC for film school. If I spoke about Steven Spielberg affecting people with his movies, would it make sense? Jaws made people afraid to go into the water. Indiana Jones made people want to explore. His movies moved the public's perception from fear of Orson Welles' War of the Worlds

to his own tale of wonder in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and then to an awkward loveable buddy E.T.

Schindler's List broke the world's heart with portrayals of the holocaust. Jurassic Park brought dinosaurs back to life.

Do you realize that Jurassic Park was released in June of 1993? I graduated high school months before. Now I feel old.
Even in television shows, what was your favorite? Was it Mash? It was a rare combination of heart-clutching realities, tender moments, and needed comic relief. I watched the final episode.

Maybe it was Seinfeld or Friends.

Or Alex Trebek who's no longer with us, just like Robin Williams. Such great entertainment history.

I love music and its history.

Most who love cooking have heard the name Julia Child. I know people that were friends. She was a legend.

Collect shoes? Here's a picture of Chuck Taylor sneakers from their first go-round.

I love business history and remember this well.

Fashion is an obsession in America. Even I know about Oscar de la Renta, Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney, and Versace.
I love the scene in the movie The Devil Wears Prada, with Meryl Streep explaining to Anne Hathaway where her careless fashion choices were decided by the people in the room.
"This… “stuff”? Oh, okay. I see you think this has nothing to do with you.
You… go to your closet, and you select… I don’t know, that lumpy blue sweater for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back, but what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.
You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that, in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns, and then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent, wasn’t it?… who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here.
And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. Then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin.
However, that blue represents millions of dollars of countless jobs, and it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry, when in fact, you’re wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room… from a pile of “stuff.”

Undoubtedly, Hatheway's character was unaware and probably didn't care, but everyone in the room did. It is the world they love and they know the history very well.
One more for the crowd. Who remembers playing these?

I wish we'd talk about the history of our loves that way. History still evokes emotion and memories, even just seeing pictures.
Don't you love sports history, cinema history, art history, fashion history, business history, and automobile history?
Maybe it's just me and my random thought for today.
