Welcome to the official blog for The I Was Screaming Your Name Through the Radio Project!
This is entirely a free + nonprofit fan audio animatic series by CharliDrawz based on ElectricSplatter's soukoku band!au fanfic "I Was Screaming Your Name Through the Radio".
Others are welcome to offer ideas & inspiration as well as possible contributions to the actual project itself.
At the moment we are mostly looking for references for character designs (outfits).
As of right now, Mike (CharliDrawz) is voicing Chūya Nakahara & working on art production, CJ (crunchyJello) is voicing Osamu Dazai, & Aqua (AquaticSnow) may possibly be voicing some side characters & helping with the music production.
Even if they're not contributions to the project itself, you're always welcome to send your favorite fan-content based on the fic as well!
Illustrations, animations, even cosplays & edits!
For references for settings we're mostly using Las Angeles, Santa Monica Beach, Yokohama, & locations around China & Paris.
ES has stated that we shouldn't use the cards from BSD Mayoi as a reference, so we will not be including those outfits in the series.
(If we do, it'd be like a quick-frame inside joke/reference- but you're still welcome to send fanmade content for the fic even if it has those outfits included like cosplays or edits of the cards etc)
The series may not be released for a long time- the project might barely get off the ground any time soon, so please be considerate but still encouraging!
Any continued support means the world to us!
I'll be making sure to try & post updates as well as reblog any (appropriate & related) content shared with us!
Here's the link to my (CharliDrawz's) public Discord server if anyone wants to keep up with production!

We also occasionally stream gameplays & watch parties!

Sunday six time! This week was spring break for me and after a couple mental breakdowns i decided maybe I shouldn't try to push it and just rest. Still got somethin tho! Kaito worrying over Yagami. Classic stuff
Tagging: @mike----wazowski @skysquid22 @overdevelopedglasses @woundedheartwithin @fire-tempers-steel @passthroughtime @jichanxo @danketsuround @fragilitease
Kaito wondered how Yagami was doing in Yokohama. It was the first time he’d traveled back there since the Mikoshiba case. He’d kept in contact with the boys, of course, and a few other people he’d made friends with during that time. But he never expressed any desire to visit.
That case, and the people involved in it, had done a number on him. He wasn’t quite the same. It wasn’t like Yagami had reverted to how he was before the Okubo mess had gotten sorted. That Yagami had been angry, restless. Then for three years, he’d flourished. Now…
Kaito sighed. Now Yagami was withdrawn. It wasn’t obvious. He was still as personable as he could be. He still handled cases with tact and compassion that Kaito could never really express. He still went out drinking with Kaito and Higashi, he still dropped in on the Genda crew.
But it was in the quiet moments, moments Kaito could glimpse rarely, when he saw it. A haunted, hollow look in his eye.
It’s like he was missing a part of himself.
Yagami never talked about it, though, and in turn Kaito never pressed it. Like a stray cat, Yagami had to be ready on his own to approach difficult emotional shit like that. Maybe this Yokohama trip would be exactly the thing he’d need.

The final Sunday Six of 2023!
Thanks for tagging me, @four-white-trees, @mike----wazowski, and @skysquid22!
Tagging @passthroughtime, @ohayouasagohan, @woundedheartwithin and @fire-tempers-steel (thanks for pulling me into this!)
Today I offer an idea that one of my closest friends brought to me while we were discussing Gaiden: he mentioned a Sugiura substory could've easily been created in the Yokohama map. Well, I've been rotating that around and I have something cooking:
“Maybe you should show some respect to the locals, newcomer.”
“Maybe you should mind your own business!”
Joryu glances to his right and sees a group of four people, three of them circling the one who has their back against the wall. They were acting like a cornered cat, with white and black overlayers on, a white hoodie obscuring their hair, and a Jester’s mask covering their face. The others looked bigger and menacing, and from their language, were succeeding in their harassment of the person.
(Stay focused on your mission.) said the voice in his mind. Joryu's feet stop in place.
In his peripheral vision, Joryu sees one of the more intimidating people, probably the group’s leader, throw the hood off their prey's head, exposing a shock of light brown hair. The eyes behind the mask widen with panic.
(Stay focused on your mission.) whispered the voice in his mind. Joryu fully turns his head towards the troublemakers.

USA BASEBALL ONE-SHOT RPF 2: Mike's Boys (chapter 2)
(AN: Given the recommendations by a fellow Tumblr writer, I have created a second chapter of this one shot story. This is dedicated to recently retired Olympic silver medal pitcher Edwin Jackson of Team USA who retired from active play by the time of this writing and in celebration of the 23rd anniversary of the USA's Olympics gold in baseball in 2000. A third chapter may be on the way. Given the fact that Patrick Mahomes II's father played for the NPB team now known as the Yokohama DeNA Baystars and was himself a MLB veteran and also due to his former participation as part of the USA Baseball high school program trials, he and his Superbowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs will be included as well beginning this chapter - making it a NFL crossover.)
Warnings: War, language, blood, battle scenes
1030H EEST
With the briefing now over, the strategy for the 1st Battalion 78th Infantry Brigade Combat Team was finally set, with the full blessing of brigade leadership and battalion command. The operation entailed the battalion following the elements of the two battalions of the lightly armed 113rd Territorial Defense Brigade of the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces in liberating the villages of Cherkas'ki Tyshky and Rus'ki Tyshky while the 2nd Battalion joins the rest of the forces from that brigade in the main road of the township. The goals are to help the brigade liberate the northern villages of Tsyrkuny from elements of the Russian 200th Motor Rifle Brigade of the Northern Fleet reinforced by a battalion of the Donetsk People's Militia's 1st Motor Rifle Regiment. They are supported by the M3 Bradleys of the armored cavalry squadron as well as the field artillery and air defense elements of the brigade. The battalion's strategy was to help defeat company or battalion sized elements of the 200th Motor Rifle Brigade and the 1st Motor Rifle Regiment as well as the 200th's T-80BVM MBTs of its tank battalion whose elements are in the village in a company formation, the rest of the companies are north of that area or on the main road alongside the rest of the SPG batteries as one battery is in the village equipped with the Msta tracked SPG. And also their additional role is to capture the village road junction located in the east of Cherkas'ki Tyshky which links it to Rus'ki Tyshky and the main road, which leads north to Borshchova and the border.
Basically the battalion's orders were to capture these two villages north of Kharkiv, pushing Russia's infantry and armor forces away from the city's suburbs, as well as artillery, as the 2nd Battalion moves on the main road alongside 3 battalions under 169th Corps' regiments (2 from 76th Infantry Division, one coming from the 901st Infantry) and word is now clear that a National Guard of Ukraine company is reinforcing the rear to help in the operation. In addition, their duty is to push away most of Russian artillery sytems futher from Kharkiv itself.
During the pre-combat brief, the company commanders were given their set orders for the day. A and B Companies would be the lead in the operation with D, E and F Companies, the latter assisted by CPT Jack Wilson, their founding commander, following them together with the battalion HQ company, with A Troop of the armored cavalry squadron and two tank companies of the armored battalion using a modernized M60 Patton and a mix of M8 AGS, M41 Walker Bulldogs and M555 Sheridans, as well as engineers helping in minesweeping and combat support ops and an air defense element mounted on Humvee platforms. The two field artillery battalions under the brigade would provide the much needed fire support using M777, M198, M108 and M109 systems and the portable Javellin system and other anti-tank systems in the anti-tank battalion, with batteries from the two assigned to the 1st Battalion set up on the rear and protected also by MANPADs and a company of TDF militias and joined by the two battalions' cannon batteries of M101 howitzers and NLAW and Javellin platoons of the heavy weapons companies. Three companies from the 1st battalions of the three regiments under 169th corps have been assigned to help 1st Battalion, the remainder to help the 2nd battalion clear the main road, as agreed upon that morning by their regimental commanders. Reinforcing them as artillery reserve are a battery of modernized M91 MLRS systems mounted on M35s - the HIMARS to be used when needed because the older M91s are similar to the BM-21 Grad systems the UGF has operated for decades.
Before their company commanders would talk about the operation, LTCOL Fenster, 1st Battalion commanding officer, spoke to his boys from the battalion and their attached elements in the presence of COL Bianco and some of the brigade staff: "Gentlemen, this morning is just the start of yet another operation for elements of the 1st Battalion, 78th BCT. But today is yet another glorious day in our unit's annals of history. This is the first task force styled-operation in our history as a brigade, with two of the battalions already fighting Russians and their allies from Donetsk with our Ukrainian brothers. We've done battlegroup styled ops before here, but now two of our infantry battalions are finally fighting together alongside the armor and artillery elements as well as support elements of the brigade present, for before this I've been given the orders from Brigadier General deRosa on his briefing call to the battalion command early today. Our task here, he said, is to remove Russians from the main highway of this township and its northern villages with the assistance of the Ukrainians of the 113rd Brigade and a company of National Guardsmen, helping to push back Russian guns from within range of the city itself and its suburbs and push these soldiers out for good away from it. In these past weeks, and even more today, all of us the men of 1st Battalion and the whole of the brigade are determined more than ever before to win this battle and the others to come for not just Ukraine but for our country and our NATO allies against the Russian aggressor threatening not just Ukrainians but ALL of us NATO countries at all fronts. In these past days, we've helped the 93rd Brigade do their jobs, now we've been helping these territorial militias as well as our fellow Americans in the International Legion. This is for their freedom and ours, boys. For the fallen in Bucha and all around this land, including those in the Kharkiv area, we will not stop our fighting with the Ukrainian people and her army, no matter what the costs. Understood gentlemen?"
"Sir yes sir" was the response of the boys.
COL Bianco then began to talk to the boys of the 6th platoon. Its commander 1LT Payton had stated that they are indeed ready once again, having perfected all they have trained for before in Irpin and Chernihiv with the rest of their company. This was the same sentiment shared by their XO and adjutant as well as its platoon sergeant. The colonel said that now would be a more better time for them to be better than ever, having shown their lot in earlier battles. "Now, gentlemen, its the time for us to show our strength once more in alliance with the Ukrainian people. I expect the best for you boys as you help the company achieve its objectives today, is that clear?"
"Sir yes sir" was the collective response. The colonel turned to the rest of the company stating his hope that the objectives of today's operations will surely be met with success.
"Captain Frazier," said the colonel, "I hope you and these personnel under your command achieve all the objectives for these operation, dead or alive. Not just America depends on this operation done. It is the Ukrainian people and our NATO partners and allies, and it will a big help for Ukraine if we flush out those Russians out of the range of Kharkiv."
"We will do our best, colonel," replied Captain Frazier.
"The same for us in B Company," then said Captain Arrietta. He said that they too will do their best to get things accomplished and the Ukrainians assisted in removing Russian soldiers from the village borders, limiting thus the Russian attacks on Kharkiv city itself. This is what captains Ober, Zimmerman and Cupp stated as well for D, E and F Companies of the 1st Battalion, detailing their readiness to follow the order of the day. Captain Wilson, now a part of A Company staff, remarked as well that what the lads of F Company did in these past weeks in Chernihiv in support of the Ukrainian forces relieving the Russian siege of the city stunned the battalion with their initiative and determination despite the young age of the boys and now they were ready to do it again.
Captain Judge then informed the colonel of his boys' preparedness for the combat ops they are about to do, saying, "Sir, given that all that the lads of the Bronx has gone thru, me and my boys are ready to fight for the nation and for the Ukraine. I have informed Colonel Boone that they are all prepared to fulfill the tasks for today."
Darren then informed him that he wishes the best as he prepares to help the 1st Battalion fulfill their objectives. He told him that they are assigned to help A Company led by his former superior, now Captain Frazier, to clear out Russians from Cherkas'ki Tyshky and support the Ukrainian offensive there.
1LT Aaron Nola of A Company 1st Battalion 83rd Philadelphia said the same. Given that they too were given the task to assist A Company, and that he has been given XO status in support of his commander 1LT Hoskins as his superior officer 1LT Harper has been called up to the colors because of his prior commitments before, he stated to COL Bianco that as part of the operation he felt proud to serve as part of the regiment raised and headquartered in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence, and that it was his duty to continue the city's heritage of leading in the defense of the nation in peace and in war. He also stated, "Being a New Orleans guy, I also bear in my heart the city's resistance in the War of 1812, and am ready to fight till the last with the boys from Philly."
The lieutenant from Sacramento then said, "No matter what happens today, colonel Bianco, we're ready to die carrying the arms of Philadelphia and the fighting legacy of her sons and daughters, sir. Most of all it is the American people, as well as the Ukrainian people already suffering after a few months of Russia's invasion, that we're ready to fight for at all costs. " Having served with the regiment since 2014 as an officer fresh from OCS, he became one of Bryce's deputies when he arrived in the city in 2019 on transfer from Washington. Since then he has served as one of his faithful comrades in arms. Alongside the company first sergeant 1SGT Muzziotti and his 1st platoon sergeant, SSGT Vierling, the two have carried on their duties to the company while Bryce is now at the 78th.
The same sentiments were shared by Captain Duvall of A Company from the 1st Battalion of the 72nd Atlanta. Raised in Louisville, KY, he has served as the company commander beginning late last year taking over from long time commander 1LT Freeman. He knew the importance of the cause they were fighting for and why the country has to help Ukraine now in its time of need. In his words, he felt that "missing families and friends at home, I knew I had a band of brothers ready to stand by me fighting for freedom no matter what the cost." His boys, assisted by 1LT Riley his executive officer and 1SGT Matzek the company first sergeant, are positioned to support CPT Arrietta and the B Company lads alongside SSGT Albies.
Then the colonel got a cellphone call from MG Scioscia.
"Make sure my boys from Tokyo are ready to lead the battalion for today," said the major general, confident that the men are ready to do it again in northern Kharkiv Oblast. They indeed needed that motivation badly from the overall commander of the Tokyo contingent in order to get the ball rolling for today's operations. He stated that Captain Frazier will be ready to lead the boys of 1st Battalion to the battle field once more, determined to continue on their winning ways in support of their Ukrainian brothers, who over these past few weeks have started to understand the Americans fighting with them for a singular cause.
"They will do their best, Mike. I'm confident these boys of yours together with mine, now fighting in the same unit, are committed to do their duties for the country and to obey the order given to them today to remove the remaining Russians from the Tsyrkuny area in support of the Ukrainians," replied Colonel Bianco. "I am truly amazed at what they did in past battles and am hopeful they will do it again."
"Good luck Colonel Bianco," replied the major general from Upper Darby. "Scioscia out."
After the call ended, LTC Fenster informed his operational commander that he's now ready to deploy the battalion for their operational goals for the day.
"Brigadier General DeRosa, sir, the 1st Battalion's ready to move out. We're ready to fulfill the orders for today's operation no matter what the cost, for the victory of the Ukrainian people, the very people we are fighting with today."
"Good luck gentlemen," replied the brigadier general. "Once more, America sends its prayers for your victories today and so does every Ukrainian. Do not fail this mission, boys, Ukraine needs this one and so does the USA. Move those boys now!"
"DeRosa, we will do our best, sir. We will not fail. We will not doubt all of America and Ukraine rooting for us once more," replied the commander. Then he presented his phone so that the boys will hear his order clearly to the battalion: to fulfill all objectives and help the 2nd Battalion, as well as the Ukrainians of the 113rd Brigade, clear Tsyrkuny township once and for all so that the Ukrainians will now be set to clear the areas north of Kharkiv from Russian forces with their support. Intel stated that the 1st Motor Rifles from the Donetsk People's Republic are moving out with a battalion of wheeled mechanized infantry to support the Russian 2nd Battalion of the 200th Motor Rifles, with elements of its 1st battalion and the 4th armored battalion in reserve as force multipliers. It is the duty of the Ukrainian 113rd TDB to push them out, and thus the 78th Brigade's 1st and 2nd battalions, as well as the 3 battalions from the 169th Corps regiments, have been tasked to assist them by all means. Thus the 1st Battalion must not fail in its objectives no matter what. The 3rd and 4th battalions, as well as the mortar and tank battalions of the brigade are also moving as brigade reserve to supplement and reinforce the formations as well as the Ukrainian forces fighting with them while the field artillery battalions will provide fires support and the air defense battalions will provide mobile and fixed air defense cover of the battlefield and protection of command elements.
After the call, the battalion commander replied, "We will do whatever it takes. Kharkiv's future rests on our efforts, general."
"Good luck LTC Fenster," answered the brigadier general. "And make sure these boys end the day safe and in a joint US-Ukrainian victory. DeRosa out."
"Good luck to you as well, brigadier general, sir," replied LTC Fenster. "We will continue to update via radio. Fenster out, Slava Ukraini."
"Heroyam Slava", replied the brigadier general.
"This is Major General Reagins speaking, colonel. Make sure these Russians are fucked when your boys fight them with the Ukrainians."
"We will do just that. I am confident than ever these boys will end the day with a win for Ukraine, sir", replied Darren.
The commander's Ukrainian interpreter informed him as well in English and then phoned the commander of the 113rd Territorial Defense Brigade that the 78th will soon be arriving to help reinforce their positions. He then phoned a member of the ILTD operating there to be on standby as the 78th too is helping in their combat ops.
With the order now granted to proceed, the 1st Battalion was now in battle mode once more.
"Is everything ready, sergeant major?"
"Yes sir, all systems go for this one," replied SGM Ronai.
"Has the Ukrainians of the 113rd Brigade and the International Legion been informed?"
The advisor said yes, adding that there's someone left a video message on his cellphone for the brigade. It's Malcolm Nance, the ex-US Navy SEAL turned soldier of the ILTD already fighting there with his fellow legionnaires, wishing the boys good luck. He had phoned brigade command this morning regarding their presence in the area.
"You heard the man, gentlemen," said LTC Fenster. "We have a battle to win in Tsyrkuny, to help the Ukrainians clear the Russians from this township and push them away futher from Kharkiv city, denying their artillery from firing directly at this city and thus save more lives. We must not fail this combat mission. It is imminent that we fulfill the tasks set by the brigade in conjuction with our Ukrainian brothers and the men of the International Legion fighting with them. The 2nd battalion is on the main road of the township and brigade command has told just minutes ago that the 4th and 5th battalions are being deployed as the reserve, while the tanks and artillery are ready as well to be deployed to support our main forces. Three more battalions, each from the 169th Corps, are also fighting with us. We expect heavy and tense resistance by the Russians where we are, but do not fear them, they know they will fear our guns, equipment, uniforms, everything that symbolizes our freedom, our country, and all that we stand for and that we're fighting shoulder to shoulder with the Ukrainian people in this the greatest hour that they are facing. Carried in our shoulders is a heavy burden of helping Ukraine defend itself from Russia and its allies. Now let's show the world our combine power once more to help defeat Russia in the lands of Ukraine and help it finally defeat this aggressor that has been terrorising this land for many years - and has been also been doing its best to obstruct and destroy ALL our freedoms around the world. For America and her people, and our newfound allies in Ukraine, we have a battle - and a war - to help win NOW no matter what. Understood, boys?"
"Sir yes sir" was the response.
"Slava Ukraini!"
"Heroyam Slava!", answered the gathered formation and the Ukrainian liasons with them.
"What's our battle cry 78th Brigade?"
"FOR GLORY!"
While this was happening someone had already arrived as well to the place: a member of the 59th Kansas City Infantry of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 610th Infantry Division, 20th Corps, nicknamed the "Chiefs" due to its Native American heritage and history, had arrived to join them: MAJ Patrick Mahomes II, whose father was a veteran of the 169th Corps and had previously been on secondment in Japan in a infantry battalion based in Yokohama, just south of Tokyo, in the late 90s. He arrived with his battalion mounted on the Stryker system as wheleed mechanized infantry - one of 4 in the regiment. The 2nd has been placed in reserve to help assist in the operation when needed. The major had radioed the 1st Battalion commander informing him of his presence. Wearing the usual red and gold armband with the heraldic arms of their home city, he informed the leadership present of his battalion's arrival.
"Lieutenant colonel sir, forces of the 59th Kansas City's 1st Battalion are ready to assist in your efforts."
"Who are you and who asked you to reinforce the 78th Brigade?" asked the commander.
"Major Patrick Mahomes II, sir, commanding officer of 1st Battalion 59th Kansas City. Been an executive officer last year since I was promoted Major, and now I'm a battalion commander. Colonel Reid, my commanding officer who's in Ukraine with his regiment stationed in Poltava, ordered me and my battalion to join the 78th north of Kharkiv out of respect for my father's service with the 169th Corps wth the regiment in Minneapolis. We've just arrived today from Kharkiv coordinate efforts to remove Russians from north of the city. I'm ready to help these boys win."
"That's Colonel Andy Reid of the 59th and his boys in Poltava?" asked MAJ Sogard.
"Yes indeed, sir, that's the colonel," Mahomes answered.
"You guys are lucky around. Tell your regimental commander the 1st Battalion will help the 78th Brigade Combat Team's elements here in Tsyrkuny. These wheeled APCs will help this brigade and the Ukrainians of the 113rd Territorial Brigade defeat those BTRs of the Russians and drive them out of the twin villages of Cherkas'ki Tyshky and Rus'ki Tyshky. We're counting on you guys to help them win," told the major.
"We will do our best today, sir. Slava Ukraini!"
"Heroyam Slava!" was the response by everyone.
"Looks like this Mahomes guy will be joining us today," said LTC Fenster. "These Strykers, also used by one of the battalions of the 78th, will be the ones that will hopefully arm the Ukrainian Army in the coming months, they will be needing them and all the other equipment we use to help them drive out the Russians. Gentlemen, I hope he will be of big help to us here. Coordinate your efforts and make sure he will be fighting with his boys on the ground as well. Is that clear boys?"
"Sir yes sir!"
The "mount up and move out" order then given, the 1st Battalion boys and those of the companies under the 1st Battalions of the 3rd NY, 83rd Philadelphia and 72nd Atlanta all mounted their vehicles. The artillery batteries of the artillery battalions and anti-tank crews of the anti-tank battalion under the brigade, the gunners of the infantry gun companies and air defense crews soon geared up to provide supporting fire and air defense cover to their formations at the right time, expecting Russian Mil and Kamov helicopters to fly in support of their comrades on the ground as the Bradleys and M113s soon sprang to life, with engines roaring, alongside the M60s and Abrams from the tank battalion and the self-propelled guns from one of the field artillery battalions getting the systems started and moving south to avoid Russian counter battery fire. At the same time MAJ Mahomes, mounted on his M1130 Commander's Vehicle's turret had finished radioing his regimental commander informing him of his battalions' readiness to lead the operation in support of 78th Brigade elements, before calling his father, retired sergeant first class Mahomes who is at Poltava with regimental command. With him are his XO, CPT Smith-Schuster, the battalion sergeant major SGM Girardi and several men under the battalion staff and the headquarters and HQ company, with the new A Company commander 1LT Kelce and his XO 1LT Buechele on their own Stykers with the rest of the formation. All 5 rifle companies and their cannon company, all told, are to join the fight of the 78th that morning with their Ukrainian counterparts, while the HHC remains with elements of the 78th's command. Following that he got a call from BG DeRosa later on regarding what his battalion would do that morning.
The 1st Battalion 78th BCT, its personnel (sans those of C Company) now mounted on their M2 Bradleys, began to prepare for battle like never before.
"Is everyone ready First Sergeant Gose?" called Captain Frazier on his M2 Bradley, on the commander's turret radioing his company first sergeant.
"We're all ready, sir," replied 1SGT Gose on his M113A3 Rise APC. "Same with my crew, we're ready to roll out."
He radioed 1LT Austin as well on his readiness to lead the platoon. He responded, "Able 1, we're ready. Captain Frazier, we're in it to win, Able 1-11's ready, including many of the Tokyo lads. Let's get this rolling now, sir."
"Able 2-11 ready," said 1LT Jackson on his radio. "When we will all dismount sir, give us the signal. The vehicle commanders and the operational armored column commander, 1LT Thames, will be ready to take over command to provide the mounted elements of the operation for Able Company under your command as the leader of the dismounted force. We will never fail you, captain, no matter what the cost. And so too, we cannot fail the American people nor the Ukrainians in which we've been grateful to stand by them these past months."
"Will do my best to signal you guys to fight with me as one against those Russians, lieutenant," Todd answered on his radio.
2LT Eddy Alvarez then replied on his radio inside the Bradley, "So am I, sir."
"Able 1-21 ready, sir, elements of 2nd Platoon ready to move out," said 1LT Alec Bohm.
"Confirmed sir, you guys will follow our lead," replied the captain. He was sure 1LT Austin knew of the readiness of his platoon to help prepare for the battle this morning.
1LT Dylan Crews then informed his commanding officer via radio, "Able 1-31 ready for the operation, captain. Expect that 3rd Platoon will be ready as well."
His deputy, 2LT Teel, informed the captain via radio of his boys' readiness to help their unit achieve all their objectives for the day.
"Able 1-41, reporting. We're ready as well at 4th Platoon," 1LT Bailey informed his company commander as well. He told the captain they too are ready to risk their lives for not just Ukraine but of their homeland as well and thus his platoon is ready to fulfill their mission.
The platoon second in command, 2LT Meyer, added, "The same for me and the other officers and NCOs assigned to our Bradley crews. They are ready since the last time they fought these bastards, captain and you known that. We're ready to fight them again to the last."
The 5th platoon commander, 1LT Brandon Crawford voiced his readiness replying: "Able 1-51 ready Captain Frazier. The men of 5th Platoon have entered battle readiness and will follow your lead."
His XO said the same sentiments of combat readiness. So did the other platoon commanders of A Company, including 6th platoon's 1LT Payton.
At the same time the platoon commanders of the other companies had reported to their company commanders of their preparedness to fight.
CPT Tulowitzki reported to his CO on his Bradley, "Captain Frazier sir, all of A Company has stated their readiness for the operation. We're all ready for the battle to start."
"Affirmative, Tulo. Let's get those boys moving, we have an operation ongoing."
"Roger that Cap."
"Captain Jake!" radioed 1LT Fowler on his Bradley. "Bravo Company is all ready for the operation."
"Affirmative Lieutenant Fowler. I hope the men are all ready for this moment. Major Gall is thinking of us as he studies his command course far away from the front right now."
The rest of the company commanders did the same.
Following the order to proceed by LTC Fenster, the infantry, mounted as usual in their M2 Bradleys, moved out of the assembly area and into the battlefield, with gunfire and artillery blasts increasing as the battalion's fighting elements moved north along Sadova Street. Their objectives are to liberate Cherkas'ki Tyshky and help the Ukrainian territorials. And joining them in their Strykers are elements of the 59th Kansas City's 1st Battalion, who are taking part as force multipliers for the operation, alongside armored elements of the brigade.

Disclaimer
I strongly urge you to take all the tarot readings on this account lightly. All the posts are intended to have an entertaining nature, they are pure speculations and completely made up by me. I can never ever guarantee any of it and you should never take any of the tarot readings for granted. I would like to stress that I know no idol nor actor personally, I never met any of them and all those readings are fictional, imagins, make believe and hypothetical scenarios. Do not base any of your life decisions on a tarot reading only, always use your common sense. If you have issues with tarot cards for religious or other reasons, do not engage in reading my posts.
When you make a request take my life into consideration and be patient. I’m a responsible adult with a full time job, dog, family, friends, duties, house chores and requests from other sources. All these take my time. Also reading tarot cards requires a certain mood, vibe and concentration, it can’t be done just anytime. Count on the time delays, please. I will do my best to complete your requests.
I’m always willing to help out if you yourself consider taking on tarot cards as a hobby. Feel free to ask if you have any inquiries about it, no question is dumb. I don’t know everything but will try to help the best I can.

[NEWS] Sato Ryuji will be Starring in the "Private Detective Hama Mike -THE MOST TERRIBLE TIME IN MY LIFE-" Stage
SUMMARY
It’s the 1990s. Set in Koganecho, known as Yokohama’s most infamous underworld, this is the territory of Hama Mike (Sato Ryuji), a self-made private detective, who receives various requests from clients.
One day, he receives a request from Yang Haiping (Teranishi Takuto), a Taiwanese man he meets by coincidence, to look for his missing older brother.
As Mike proceeds with the investigation with help from his friend Hoshino (Yabe Masaki/Miyamoto Kosuke), they find out that Yang's brother is a member of the Taiwanese mafia which is in conflict with the Black Dog Association of Japan.
Mike's younger sister Akane (Koizumi Moeka) cautions Mike against getting in too deep, but...

Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that "Sasha Banks is expected to be at New Japan Pro Wrestling's Wrestle Kingdom 17." It is unknown if she will be there to wrestle or even appear before the crowd. The report is free to read here, but you'll want a good adblocker installed before visiting PWInsider.
Fightful and the Wrestling Observer have articles that basically say "Mike Johnson reported this" but so far neither site has confirmed the story with their own sources. I expect Dave Meltzer and Sean Ross Sapp will have more to say by the end of the week.
Wrestle Kingdom is NJPW's equivalent to Wrestlemania, traditionally held in the Tokyo Dome on January 4. This year they're doing a second show on January 21 in Yokohama Arena, and both shows are branded "Wrestle Kingdom 17." I find it interesting Johnson's report doesn't clarify which show she's supposed to be coming in for.
A few months ago New Japan announced the creation of its first women's championship. KAIRI (formerly Kairi Sane in WWE) became the first champion in November, and is scheduled to make the first defense on the January 4 show against Tam Nakano. It would make sense for a big name to come to the ring to challenge the winner to a title bout on the 21st. Of course, that's just speculation.
The story lines up pretty well with an earlier report that she wouldn't consider offers to wrestle until January 2023. It's also interesting that AEW just set up Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter vs. Saraya & a mystery partner for January 11, but that could be coincidence.
It is obviously possible that Johnson's report is based on bad information. It's also possible the report is true, but WWE will swoop in with a big money offer and convince Banks to pull out at the last minute. For all I know, Banks is still under WWE contract, despite reports of her securing a release, and she's not going anywhere. We won't really know her next move in pro wrestling until after she's made it.

It was inspired by the poetry of Chika Sagawa. Unlike most female Japanese poets of her time, she wove Western influences into her work, used free verse to explore her interiority rather than relying on traditional forms, and expressed an individual relationship with nature. On a personal level, I relate to her condition: fragile physically, standing up alone, trying to make sense of the universe. And aesthetically we converge: deep pain and radiant beauty resonate throughout her work, often triggered in the same moment. Chika Sagawa died before her twenty-fifth birthday. I dedicate my piece to her.

Return of Sunday Six!
I didn't plan on having anything this week, but I woke up with some inspiration today so. Here we are! Let's see if I can remember everyone @mike----wazowski @skysquid22 @overdevelopedglasses @woundedheartwithin @passthroughtime @fragilitease @danketsuround
This is from a little adventure fic featuring fourteen-year-old Ryuji and Daigo getting into shenanigans in Ijincho. Enjoy!
Daigo felt himself slide forward in his seat a little as the train decelerated. It coasted into the station, a man’s tinny voice over the speakers announcing the station: Jinnai. His stop. 
The train ride had cooled some of his anger, and as he disembarked the train and made it his way out of the station, Daigo found he could relax his tense shoulders. He squinted in the bright sunlight as he stepped out toward the road, not entirely certain where he would go. But he figured he could pick a direction and see where it took him. 
He wasn’t in any hurry, anyway. The old man wouldn’t miss him for days. 
Daigo looked this way and that. Yokohama was hardly a different world from Tokyo–it wasn’t even that far–but he was out of Tojo territory. Any yakuza he might encounter had no alliance to him. If got in any trouble, he’d be on his own. 
Which is exactly what he wanted. 
And trouble was never far from Daigo in those days. He took three steps into the road and was nearly bowled over by what felt like a truck. It wasn’t a truck though, but a person. A big one. Daigo stumbled but caught himself, and turned toward whoever had run into him. 
At fourteen, just about anyone would see Ryuji Goda and call him a man. He towered over most people, and any adult who had to look up at someone would surely miss the youthful roundness of his face and that teenage skinniness of his body. What people saw first was a tall man with bleach blond hair, and to Daigo, Ryuji could be any age between twenty-five and fifty-five.
Daigo glared up at the other boy, making sure he furrowed his brow deeply like Kiryu would. “Watch where you’re going,” he snapped, balling his hands into fists. 
But Ryuji had hardly even been aware of Daigo. He heard his words, but glanced down at him and saw a skinny kid trying his damn hardest to look mean and tough. It brought to mind those mean little dogs that snapped at everyone, and the thought made Ryuji laugh. 
This did nothing to abate Daigo’s anger, however. Whatever had been soothed by the train had been irritated again. Daigo raised a fist, took a breath, and charged toward the stranger.

Dinner and ping pong 🏓 with Pastor Mike and Julie. We first met them over the summer at a Korean war veteran commemoration aboard the USS Missouri. We later discovered that we have many mutual friends who are pastors from our church in Japan, Every Nation Church Yokosuka and Yokohama. Now Mike is one of the pastors of our church, Harbor Church West Oahu, since his previous church and ours merged. https://www.instagram.com/p/CklyOIYB-G4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
