so me n sibling finished rise rewatch with all the newfound turtle lore after our big tmnt media binge......... many feelings i wanna get out
Tumblr media
firstable........ how anyone watched this show and didnt think those were the ninja turtles in purest form i will never understand. like you cannot deny any of these characters being the same characters but with new roles to fill. raph is the protector. mikey is the heart. leo is the strategist. donnie is the brain. it just created a new dynamic, but never strayed very far from what came before
second....... take the ninja turtles and just hammer home a story about generational trauma and healing from it, giving them strength from how much they love and trust each other.... you break my heart wide open i am crying
to me they are the best amalgamation of all the turtles who came before them like: silly and sweet like 87, they have this close familial understanding unconditional love like 03, and this overarching story of bringing a family back together like 12
started this watch of all turtle media because rise on its own felt so good, but having gone back and seen all the other pieces i was missing makes me appreciate what it was doing more, because i felt every other series and movie in this one in spirit, but with the ideals of the modern cartoon saying: hey kids, its okay to ask for help, youre not alone, your feelings matter, and the people around you should support you
and on top of that, obviously the most visually stunning version to date, utilizing years of lessons learned from western cartoons and anime, meshing together in breathtaking action, but also having the most hilariously snappy comedic animation that uses what seem like cheap movements of a frame to make every line of dialogue all the more hysterical, and having these very expressive characters be able to be very subtle in the touching emotional moments.
i genuinely love this show so much and i feel really stupid for not having watched it sooner, and the fact it is the shortest of all the shows that never got the chance to finish its story makes me so sad. but at least what story it did get to tell was beautiful.

How JJK men react when they (or you) "accidently" fall on you (or them).
Including: Yuta, Yuji and Megumi
Tw: none unless you don't like falling over.
I KNOW THE TITTLE IS PAINFUL AND THE FIC IS NOT TOTALY EDITED. IM SORRY.
♡Yuta♡
All the second year students were at the traning field when you noticed that you forgot your phone.
Normally that wouldn't bother you, but today Yuta was supposed to come back from his training trip in Africa. There was nothing official with you guys but everyone around you could feel how much you both fell for each other. Just like the day he first arrived, you introduced yourself (probably the only person who did) to him. It was just like two wires fused and after that you guys became close. But it ened when Yuta left and you felt loke it was back to old times again with Maki, Panda and Toge.
"MAKIII" you yelled across the field as Maki was in the middle of her warm up lap.
"I NEED TO GO GET MY PHONE, ILL BE BACK SOON" You yelled getting a thumb up approval from her.
So you ran off the field and onto the path past the shed of cursed tools and straight to the main building in Jujustu high. You swung open the door and sprinted down the hallways.
Yuta was supposed to text you when he got back and nearly at the dormatrys because they changed the locks while he was gone and getting him his own key would take a while with his seemingly 'sudden' return. Luckily you had 2 keys made because you wanted a spare just in case it came handy.
You swung open the classroom door when you realised you forgot where you left your bag, which held your phone and pair of keys. You searched up the whole room panicking but to no avail. You looked at the clock on the wall. 4:00 pm. Yuta was supposed to be back at 4:10 and you figured the only other place your bag would be was on the bench bu the traning field...
Letting out a loud sigh of frustration you didn't want to waste any more time so you took a short cut to the oval. Right through the buildings window. You stood at the edge and pushed off landing harshly on the ground making you stumble a bit before sprinting again.
You made it to the field at 4:03, a new record, but still with your frantic searching you couldn't find your bag.
"I have to be quick before Yuta gets here or he'll be locked out the dorms!" You said franticly knowing your 3 classmates were watching you and wondering what you were doing.
You felt a tap on your sholder
"Tuna mayo Shakke."
(*We moved class rooms today remember?)
Your eyes went white realising you looked in the wrong room.
"I KNEW IT WAS IN OUR CLASS ROOM" You yelled before running again.
This time you went to the right room and saw your bag on your desk. You snatched it and looked at the time on your phone 4:11.
You said you would met Yuta at the schools enterance but there was no way you would make it there in time...unless you ran. Again.
You spun on you heals and with the last and most of your energy you ran head first into some body making them lose thier balance because the last thing they expected was getting rammed head first in a deserted hallway.
THUD
You fell onto your back in shock not realising the person hand was holding the back of your head making sure it never hit the ground.
"Are you alright!?" He asked looking down at you
It was Yuta.
"Yeah sorry about-YUTA?!" Your face flushed as his body caged your on the floor
"Sorry I didn't see you running then and just got in your way."
"NO, NO IT WAS MY FAULT" you were losing your sanity, he was so close and so...diffrent. His hair hung over his eyes and his body frame was way bigger from the last time you saw him.
He suddenly turned his head away from your gaze but you could see the red tint in his ears.
"Nice catch" you heard some one say
Both you and yuta looked down the hallway to see Maki standing there with a cursed weapon.
Immediately Yuta got up embarassed and offered you a hand up.
"Uh welcome back." You tried to act normally but that moment would live in your mind forever.
☆Yuji☆
You were in the library studying for Gojos "surprise quiz" that was taking place tomorrow. How were you going to get through all the subject set in the quiz with only one day's notice? Well you concluded that Gojo was not a very qualified teacher.
On the list of study books you'd need to read to take notes from there was one that was up impossibly high up on a shelf. But it was okay because there was a ladder at the end of the shelf you would just have to bring over.
You pulled the ladder over and made sure it was stable by shaking it a few times slightly, knowing there wouldn't be anyone to hold the ladder for you because Megumi, Nobora and Yuji were all currently out on a mission that you were no put on. It was a but disappointing but it was the perfect opportunity to study.
You got up on the ladder, when it came to the last step you got a bit nervous because the ladder began to shake a bit. But you took a deep breath and managed to make it up there without falling. You grabbed the book quickly got down the ladder. You put it on top of the other books you were using. You walked back to your table with all your study notes and materials.
It was a successful hour because you felt like you were finally ready. So you packed up your things and began to put the books back. Until it came to the high shelf. You tested the ladders durability again and finally took the first step. When tou were half way up, book tucked beneath your arm, you heard the library doors open and two people arguing. You already knew it was Nobora and Yuji. And if Nobora and Yuji were there then Megumi must be tagging along to. You kept climbing but a little faster so you could greet your friends back from their mission, however when you got to the top step you heard Nobora.
"JUST TELL HER YOU DAMNED IDIOT OR YOU'LL LOSE YOUR CHANCE!"
You looked down the ladder and saw the three (as predicted) walking toward the ladder when Nobora kicked Yujis back sending him forward right into the ladder you were on. With his instincts he grabbed a side of the ladder which only made him land on his back.
You let out a panicked gasp as you felt yourself lose your footing and fall off the ladder.
Nobora and Megumi watched in shock as the suddenly saw you fall off the ladder and crash...right into Yuji. Thank goodness for Yujis reflex skills because he managed to catch you. Catch being you landing the back of your head into his chest.
"YOU IDIOT" Nobora yelled
"YOU COULD HAVE KILLED MY PRECIOUS Y/N"
"ME KILL HER? YOUR THE WITCH THAT PUSHED ME!" He yelled in retaliation you slowly sat up in-between his legs.
"Are you okay?" Yuji sat up to crossing his legs almost trapping you between him.
"Yeah I'll be alright" you mumbled but before you could rub the back of your pounding head you felt yujis hand on it.
"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time, really I didn't mean to hurt you"
"I know, it's okay Yuji I know you wouldn't purposely hurt me."
A blush spreads across his face and your body warms against his.
You look around trying to avert his gaze before realising that you didn't have the book any more.
"Huh? where did my book go..." your eyes wander to Megumi who's rubbing the top of his head with one hand and holding your book with the other.
"Here" He mumbled in pain.
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS ♡♡
Tumblr media
AUTHOURS NOTE: yeah I'm not entirely happy with the Yuta part but maybe I'll re write it if you guys want. Also if you want a part 2 with other characters let me know because I was going to add Megumi but didn't.

TW: slight angst, foul language, violence, blood, gore, gunshot wound, death mention
@denzellovehazelnuts: Hi! hope you have a good day! Can you do a poly "Ghost x male reader x Soap" (if you comfortable writing poly relationship) with slow burn, angst and fluff at the end? Where Ghost and Soap already in a relationship until the reader came into their team The two male thought the reader wasn't talkative around people but few weeks later, things change at first Ghost seems interesting in the male skill using gun and how fast he can run and Soap like the male sense of humour. Both of them thought it only a friendship type of things. Until the male save Ghost from the enemy on the battlefield and him laughing at Soap jokes. That when the two males known what happen to them, they weren't sure if M/n would comfortable in a relationship with them, so they start doing small things for him like making coffee or helping training,.. And M/n notice it, he even started to fall for the both of them. But he keep denying the things they did for him because he thought that what friend do. and M/n don't think he is ready for a new relationship, he wasn't sure he is good enough for them (the male got trauma from the previous relationships) (more angst please, I would like to suffer for a little bit) (・∀・) After a while, the three of them got into a mission together, everything went good until the male got shot. He thought he going to be de@d soon (only to find out that he only got shot at his leg) so M/n confessed how he feel about the two of them. (andddd I don't know what to do with the ending cause I'm ran out of idea. I would want to see how the treated each other when got into a relationship. Sorry about the grammar, English isn't my first language)

At first, you hadn’t wanted to join Task Force 141. You were comfortable with your position as the quiet, but light on your feet, knife specialist. Well, that wasn’t truly your title. You were just good with knives. You weren’t too shotty with a gun either. Either weapon being in your hands meant blood was going to be shed. KorTac needed those types, especially those who could use it to get in as well as out; you also couldn’t forget about using your skills to get information. Torturing the prisoners wasn’t something you particularly liked, but you were good at it too. Combining your skills with knives and guns, it truly was hell for anyone on the opposite side of your team. You also couldn’t forget that, out of the others, you were much faster. Sure, some could still beat you at times but that didn’t mean you weren’t good. Bets had been constantly taking place with you, along with others as it was one of the few things any of you could do to pass the time in a less-than-bloody manner.
The transfer from KorTac to Task Force 141 wasn’t smooth. Horangi, or Kim Hong-jin, didn’t let you go for weeks. You were part of his team, one of his men. The leader of KorTac is what most of you saw him as. He knew many of you like the back of his hand. Not to mention, a tiger can be cruel but would never devour its cubs for no reason, well, as some say. As far as you knew, because you were all together, you were a team and therefore family. While there were others who didn’t get along, out in the field, all of you had each other’s back. Very rarely did anyone get left to perish to the enemy.
With all that in mind, it took weeks for him to let you go. More or less, Laswell was the one to convince him; that is if you call bringing each plus every person in KorTac to ruins as “convincing”. She wanted you on a team she could keep tabs on you; doubting her power and skills was out of the question. Which meant leaving KorTac to ensure that everyone else was free from possible imprisonment or death was necessary.
Fitting in wasn’t too hard considering most of the people there were from all over the place. While it’s odd for a member from another team to suddenly appear on another, it didn’t bother most of the others. Just from a glance, you could tell who was into who; as well as who exactly was in a relationship. A man by the name of Ghost including another called Soap, you knew were together. Soap flirted with almost everyone, though it was more teasing and lighthearted. With Ghost though? The flirting went up by twenty percent. His dial for teasing went up tenfold too. Meanwhile, Ghost hardly looked at anyone else, nevertheless, stare at them unless they were the Scottish man. Frankly, you didn’t mind. Who were you to judge the two? Especially when they were good at what they did.
It takes weeks before you’re comfortable enough to so much as talk to anyone 141. Gaz, or Kyle as Soap tended to call him when annoyed, is the first to so much as approach you. While the others are interested, you coming from KorTac had put them off for a bit. Gaz on the other hand treats you like a brother. He’ll throw his arm around your shoulder, dragging you around as he laughs about the past or even at your jokes. At meals, he always throws a raised eyebrow at those who look at you oddly when you’re quiet or sitting with the man. He treats you like you’re part of the team, furthermore, that truly means more than anything to you.
The man is just as bloodthirsty as you are. His stories of falling out of planes along with taking out enemies only lead to you looking up to your new teammate and brother. His tales of meeting Captain Price, past missions, a few tidbits of him being with the SAS, together with some metals he’s earned, only makes you want to pry more stories from the man; not like you don’t have to try. Simply asking about his stories leads to at least an hour-long spill of them from the guy.
And with his stories comes a few of your own. You don’t share much of them, knowing Gaz spreads them to the rest of the team with more dramatics to try to get you to interact with the others. Something you do learn about him that you always keep in mind from his stories is that his blood type is B Negative and shooting any dog, wild or not, makes him feel a bit guilty; he had to shoot one a while ago and apologised to the poor mutt after having to put it down to finish his mission.
With all that he’s shared and how the both of you see each other as brothers, it’s only fair that you let yourself talk to the others in the team. Though your words are short, along with your jokes being told quickly to distract yourself from the stressful situations, you allow yourself to slowly relax with the others. Gaz’s constant support helps you finally allow yourself to bond with your new team and family. It’s only after a mission that things change. 
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
“Take the left! Keep your heads down and keep movin’!” Captain Price’s voice rings out in your earpiece. Everything has gone to shit. The intel you’ve been getting was entirely a trap. You’re running through an underground tunnel, Ghost and another man named Roach is running in front of you.
Roach is a quiet man, never talking or letting out a sound, but semi-friendly. From his actions and what you’ve been told of him, he does his best to complete the missions to the tea. The few interactions you’ve had with him were silent but nice. Whether or not he’s mute has crossed your mind time and mind again but you don’t ask; you’d rather leave the man be. After all, he has become something like a friend maybe even another brother.
“Copy. We’re nearly out. Roach and [Redacted] are with me,” Ghost responds, quickening his pace. The rifle smacks against your back as you speed up to keep up with the other two men. Despite the situation, the three of you remain as calm as you can be.
“You’re bein’ tracked like a rabbit is by a hound, Ghost! Move it!” The captain’s orders are clear and the worry is read between the lines. If you three don’t get out, it’s a huge blow to 141. Not only that, but Soap loses his boyfriend, Gaz loses two of his best friends as well as brothers, you three lose your lives, and Task Force 141 loses three of its members. Dying isn’t an option here.
“We have company,” Your words are muffled by your gear but the two soldiers in front of you hear them in their own pieces.
“Fuckin’ hell-” Ghost’s sentence gets cut off by gunfire from behind. Turning around, you fire the Lachmann Sub in your possession.
“We gotta go! They’re gaining!” You clip one of the enemies in the shoulder and another is hit in the stomach. Picking up the speed, the three of you try to beat them out of the tunnel. You cover the back, hoping the two get out before you. If you get surrounded, it’s over.
Thankfully, they haven’t reached the other end of the tunnel as the three of your burst out of the exit. You grab a grenade, pull the pin and throw it in the tunnel. As soon as it leaves your hands, you’re running faster to get to Roach and Ghost before anything else can; one arm wraps around each of your teammates’ necks, dragging them down to the ground as the little metal bomb goes off. Debris flies everywhere, looking for an area to land after being shot out of its place.
With the tunnel exist now collapsed along with no more flying rock and metal, you release the men. “How copy?” Crackles through each of your earpieces. You knock your forearm into Roach’s upper arm, eyes crinkling from your smile. He gives you a grateful nod, standing. You smack Ghost’s arm as he stands, glad to have escaped the enemies for now.
“Tunnel’s collapsed. We’re good. Ready for extraction, Sir,” Blunt and straight to the point are the skull-masked man’s words.
“Good. Heli’s close by. Move to the edge of the town.” With the three of you alive, you can practically feel Captain Price’s relief.
“Copy that, Captain,” Your muffled response comes before Ghost can send in his own. He scans you from the corner of his eye but doesn’t give you a retort. You do, however, hear a small huff of air leave him. You throw your arm around Roach’s neck again, puffs of air leaving you from happiness, meanwhile, his arm comes around your back. Seems the three of you live another day.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
After that mission, Ghost tends to lurk around you more than he originally had. It didn’t help that Soap tends to tag along as well. Thankfully, he finds your jokes hilarious if the loud, boisterous laughter he lets out all the time tells you anything. His teasing ends up piling onto you as well. Before, it was light as well as spread out. Now, it’s almost like he’s talking to Ghost with all the teasing and flirting he now does with you. His boyfriend hardly seems concerned but rather encourages his behaviour. Of course, that doesn’t mean he goes easy on you when the two of your spar together. He’s dead serious when it comes to sparring; it’s only a reminder that while he does good off, he’s just as dangerous as the rest of them.
The two men seem to be fixated on wanting to help you out in training as well. More pointers plus tips are thrown your way when you practice with either of them. Sometimes, they’ll even make you coffee for those sleepless nights. Mentioning such things to Gaz and Roach only leads to your sworn brothers giving you knowing looks or a few teasing words; Gaz is the one with the teasing remarks while Roach pats your shoulder in a mocking but teasing “you poor man” way. Neither seems keen on wanting to spill the tea on why the Scottish and British men have been more affectionate.
While you enjoy their kind gestures, including their company, you’re not sure if you’re ready to admit to yourself, or them, about such feelings or relationships. On the surface, you truly do want to ask them if this is some sort of flirting schtick they have going on. Deep down though, the idea of being with anyone again makes your stomach fill with the lead. How could you enter another relationship? After the last one ended with your soon-to-be fiance’s brains splattered all over a brick wall. How can you move past that? How can you allow yourself to find someone like them? Or even better than them? The answer to that is a sigh alongside a bitter smile. The ring hiding under your tactical gloves seems to burn your skin. Truly, how can you let your first love go? After all, if you weren’t good enough to keep them alive, how can you keep these two from meeting the same gorey end?
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
“To think I’d find myself here… How fuckin’ funny,” You mumble. Another mission, this one just like all the others. Well, it would have been if you hadn’t been shot. The blood leaking from your leg alongside a knife wound to your side leave you in pain. Feeling weak isn’t something uncommon but neither is it constantly happening. Words are being spoken to you through your headset. You were to be the lookout but ended up being the enemy's first target.
“How copy?” Rings in your ears. Your eyes stare blankly in front of you. You feel pathetic. Too tired to talk. Too tired to get up. You just sit, popped up against a tree in the heavily wooded area. You’ve failed, failed, failed.
“C’mon, Mate, how do ya copy?” Soap’s voice is worried and winded. He and Ghost are the people you’ve been teamed up with and you’ve failed.
“[Redacted], how copy?” The next tone is Ghost’s. It sounds slightly strained.
“Mission Failed,” You croak, head tilted back and against the tree.
“Status report, Mate. Where are ya?” He’s rushing, possibly panicked now.
“Got two wounds. Gunshot to the thigh. Knife to the side. Bleeding pretty bad, Soap.” You close your eyes, sighing.
“State your location.” The Brit seems to be just as worried as his Scottish counterpart.
“Dunno. Woods. Against a tree… There’s a lot of blood. Feelin’ woozy.” When you open your eyes, your sight is blurred. You’re losing too much blood.
“Keep talkin’ to us then, yeah? You’ll make it out. We’ll get out together,” The Scot’s words, though hopeful, only make you scoff quietly.
“You know… If I get outta here… Think we can go out sometime? Bourbon and whiskey? The three of us?”
“When we get out, [Redacted]. There’s no if here,” The masked man makes it sound final like there’s no way you’ll die on them.
“Yeah… Yeah..” You don’t say anymore, everything slowly hazing away. It’s like your floating in winter with how cold you feel.
“[Redacted]? Don’t sleep! C’mon! Keep ya eyes open!” Soap’s words fade away along with everything else. All that waits is cold darkness.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
“So… Think you can handle our drinking date after this?” Soap perches on the side table, messing with a lighter he took from Ghost.
“After he’s healed, Johnny. No alcohol before,” A semi-scolding is all the man gets from the brooding Ghost. You laugh slightly, jostling your wounds. You wince but wave off the concerned looks you get.
“After I’m no longer full of holes, Johnny-boy.” You take a sip of water afterwards, making Soap frown playfully.
“And to think I was gonna bring out the good shit fer ya. A shame. A damn shame.” You gently shake your head. It was a close call but Ghost got to you before you completely bled out. From what you’ve been told by Gaz, who yelled at you for an hour after you woke up from your four-day sleep, Ghost and Soap dragged you back to the helicopter. Both refused to leave your side. Captain Price ended up having to yell at the men and bribe them with a bit of alcohol to get them to even go to their own rooms. You made sure to apologize to Gaz, hugging him tightly after his blow-up. He thought he was going to lose a friend and family member so you couldn’t blame him.
Roach gave you the cold should for a while before appearing in your room with a cup of coffee. He made sure to smack the back of your head for your stupidity as well, though it was hardly rough. You grabbed the man before he could so much as bolt though when he saw you getting up to hug him. He hadn’t pushed you away though. And the captain? It felt like you were a kid again with how he pinned you with his stare. He made sure to tell you exactly how he felt, going from angry, to disappointed, to angry again. Another guy you couldn’t blame anything on. But you get to live another day at least. And you get to have that date with the two guys who were able to grab ahold of your heart after a long-time of heartache and loss.

I love love love your bakugou x artist reader trope please we need more of it it’s so wholesome i have read it on repeat since you upload it 💗💗💗
Aahh thank you so much!! Kinda grew attached to it myself so I’m glad to hear y’all love it sm<33 This is definitely a series I plan on continuing🤟🏽 this part is kinda more goofy than anything else but I promise there’s fluff near the end<33
“Fuck around and find out”
Tumblr media
he loses his drumsticks
missing rug
using an art supply as a weapon?
nonverbal apology
can’t admit he’s wrong for SHIT
Clay is never easy to work with and you’d be foolish to think it is. It’s messy, dries relatively quickly and dirties up every surface it graces. You swear your sculpting professor is out to get you with these ridiculous projects. From cardboard cutouts to detailed portraits to clay. It’s a madhouse in the art department.
Using your modeling tool, you try to carve into the block of raku clay that cost an arm and a leg to buy from the university’s private art supply store. It was a blessing and a curse to have it so conveniently placed right across the hall from your sculpting class. The clay and tool alone cost you $27 that you’ll never see again. This degree better be worth it. You look at your desk partner and see that she’s going to town on her clay block. She cuts, carves and scoops at it like she’s done it a thousand times over. Clay sculpting is a completely different wheelhouse you’re not used to but you’re always willing to learn. Hopefully fast.
You quickly check your phone, residual dried clay sprinkling onto the screen as you click on it. 7:50 PM. It’s time to wrap it up for the day. Almost in sync, your professor calls time and you all begin to clean up. You clean off your work station diligently and swing your bag over your shoulder, wishing everyone a good night as you leave. The walk to your car is peaceful. The night is quiet and the air is cool and clear. Truth be told, you were opposed to taking a night class at the start, probably afraid you’d get jumped at night or something irrational like that. But now it’s what you look forward to during the week. Being left alone with your own thoughts and decompressing from the day in the evening is just so therapeutic. Finally making it to your car, you get in, closing and locking the door after. Now that your hands are free from dried clay, you go through your missed messages for the evening. As soon as you turn off do not disturb your screen is flooded with missed calls and text notifications. Your eyes widen and confusion floods your mind as you scroll to the very first message.

#1 Hater🏆: i’ll go in your room rn and throw out that shitty rug. keep playin
delivered 7:05 PM
You laugh at his empty threat of a message and roll your eyes. What he had against your rug, you didn’t know. Buying a rep was cheaper than the real thing. KAWS is not a brand that’s in your tax bracket. And of course you didn’t know where his drumsticks were. He usually keeps all his music equipment locked away somewhere so it’s most likely his fault for losing them. You’re about to turn off your phone when a ping sounds from your device, a new message shining brightly on your screen.
#1 Hater🏆: forgot you were at your night class. probably got me on dnd anyways
#1 Hater🏆: still gonna give you hell for stealing my shit tho
delivered 8:03 PM
You type back a quick reply.
You: don’t have ur sticks. touch my rug and u die. I’ll be back in 5 to kick ur ass for blaming me
You shut your phone off and start your car, pulling out of the parking lot and driving back to the dorms.
Once you’re back you walk through the living room and make a beeline to your room. You open your door and what you see inside is enough to fuel nightmares. A rather deranged looking Bakugou has his hip leaned up against your windowsill, arms crossed over his chest as a single lamppost from outside your window illuminates one side of his face. He looks at you. Stares even and doesn’t say a single word.
“Is there a reason you’re just sitting in the dark like a weird-ass Disney villain or?” You flick on the light switch next to the door, drenching your room with light. It’s only then that you notice your floor is rather bare. This motherfucker.
He must have seen your reaction judging by the way his eyes follow your gaze to your now exposed wood flooring. A shit eating grin spreads across his face, damn near splitting it in two. You close your eyes and take a deep breath. You’d hate to beat his ass over something so trivial but it’s getting harder to restrain yourself. You force yourself to look him in the eyes as you speak very very carefully.
“Kats… you wouldn’t happen to know where my rug is would you?”
He straightens up and walks towards you, hands shoved deep in the pockets of his sweats, a cocky bounce in his stride.
“Dunno. My shit’s missing too. Must be a ghost or somethin’.” Not a lick of remorse escapes his mouth. He’s smug. He’s proud of himself and he even came back to the scene of the crime just to taunt you. Your left eye twitches, patience wearing thin.
“I’ll ask you one more time for the sake of being generous. Where. Is my. Rug.” He shrugs and feigns innocence.
“Fuck around and find out.”
The hell did he just say? Is he really trying to pick a fight right now? Usually you’re the one keeping the peace but this man has now dragged your innocent rug into his thick headed nonsense. You chuckle in disbelief and look at the ground, shaking your head slightly.
“‘Fuck around and find out?’ Huh… aight then.” Bag still slung over your shoulder, you unzip the smallest pocket and pull out the modeling tool you used earlier for your sculpting class. You grip it tightly in your palm, the pointed edge facing outwards. Bakugou’s cocky façade waivers a bit but he doesn’t show it. His left eyebrow quirks up in interest.
“Tryna stab me with an art supply?” You’re not really gonna stab him. Just scare him into giving you your stuff back. Maybe…
“You said fuck around and find out right? So imma fuck you up til I find out where my shit is.” You drop your bag on the ground and rush at him all at once. His once calm demeanor switches to sudden shock and he moves to dodge your swing.
“Dude what the fuck!? Will you chill?” He doesn’t know whether he’s shouting in annoyance or fear, though he’ll never admit the latter. You turn around to where he’s standing behind you, modeling tool still tightly clutched in hand.
“Give me my shit back then!”
“Cmon it’s a shitty knock off. You really gonna stab me over a $30 rug?”
“And you really stole a $30 rug over a $15 pair of drumsticks?”
“Cuz you stole em!”
“I didn’t steal anything. I don’t even know where you keep them Kats! Plus I haven’t been in the dorms since 8 this morning.” His face stills and his brain sorts through what you’d just said. It made sense really. Today was your long day this week. You’d been gone from 8 AM to 8 PM.
He straightens up from his defensive stance and looks away, rubbing the back of his nape. “Okay well even if you didn’t take em, still don’t know where they are. Everyone’s a suspect right now.”
“Then why aren’t everyone else’s things missing?”
He shakes his head and corrects you. “Nah, I took a piece of everyone’s shit too not just you. It’s all stashed til someone fesses up.” You stare at him like he’s grown two heads, face turned up in disapproval and disbelief.
“Aight Kats whatever. You know it’s not me, so can I please have my rug back?” At this point you where drained from classes and just wanted to rest. Not to mention using the last of your energy to attack this idiot.
He walks to your door and opens it, the creak of the door signaling his great escape. “Ask me nicely.” He’s closing the door behind himself now, but you’re quick to yell out.
“Dude are you seriou-”
“Under the bed.” With that, he closes the door and you’re left in silence. You kneel on the ground and look under your bed and just as he said, your rug is there safe and sound. You pull it out from its hiding spot and place it back in its respective spot on the floor. You let out a deep sigh of relief which can be heard by the eavesdropping figure just outside your door. He chuckles to himself and walks to his room. Truth be told he found his drumsticks minutes before you came back to the dorms. He was just too embarrassed to tell you he found them after misplacing them himself and blaming you for it. Plus, it was more fun this way. Minus the potential stabbing part.

Neon Genesis Evangelion (EP 8, 16, 24, 26)
I want to start off this post by talking about a new main character Asuka. It took me about 2 episodes to figure out she is Rei's opposite. Appearances: Blue hair and red hair. Long hair and short hair. Eye colors are different. One is soft-spoken, the other is vocal. One talks too little (from what I gather from the assigned episodes, I think Rei is supposed to be Eve or Lilith, but Asuka is like Shinji in that they are some descendants of the Evas or Angels or something that is not totally human, so this explains why she acts so cold), the other talks too much. Also the weird but true observation: one is indifferent to perverted accidents, the other is sensitive to perverted accidents; both may or may not [always] involve Shinji.
Asuka represents the tsundere stereotype, I think. I hear the "Baka, hentai!" comment from her a lot, but I can't tell if it's hormones or if she is actually attracted to Shinji. Shinji is a teenage boy, so I know he gets the classic red hand mark on his face, and it's rarely ever his fault. Those characters who are quick to anger and violence without listening to reason are often redheads, and I know it's a popular trope, but I realize as I am writing this the paradox of it all. Asuka is a young girl, and as a bit of a crazy anime watcher, I do believe violence is not always the answer, but it's wrong to assume violence is not an option. However, if every situation that triggers you is answered or resolved in violence, then it's rarely ever resolved. If Asuka even paused for a moment, she could tell Shinji probably did not even have the guts to pull harassment on any girl. To accuse him would make her the true culprit, not the victim. I know the children did not have parental figures to follow, but I guess their immaturity further proves they are really not qualified at all to be humanity's saviors. On the other hand, it is ironic that Asuka's hits can be overlooked so easily. Think about it, if a young boy suddenly had his p**is touched, accidentally or not, by a girl, he probably would just shove her off because if he hit her face, everyone would call him violent. Children who are used as child weapons are essentially taught that violence via their mecha skills is the ONLY solution to solve humanity's biggest problems, so quietly, it's the only solution for small misunderstandings.
Finally, the last episode was more philosophical than I thought. I didn't watch EP25 which I assume is the final battle because I don't think there is a sequel series. The ending didn't even explain what happened to humanity. But I think it's a good moral story to explain ego and self. The swap to 2D pencil drawings is a good way. Without depth, shadow, and background, a sketch exists limitless. I like how Shinji was always told what to do and how he should live. Even at his crisis, he asks people what he should do and how to live, they are the ones telling him the truth of how he should live. While I know the show is the one telling us the truth, to Shinji, it's still outsiders instructing him, even if they have his well-being in the best care possible. It was Shinji, experiencing the No Angels AU (that got to be an AO3 tag, if not, something like No Eva AU) or Middle/High School AU (love the silly shoujo reference with Rei, bread in mouth, "I'm going to be late on my first day of a school in this new city!", and headbumping ML, but not the accidental peeking), that he realizes the truth people have been trying to tell him this whole time. Funny how even his best friends care more about him than he does himself, and only when he really loves himself unconditionally, Eva or no Eva, even in a world where only he exists, that he can learn to actually love others, even his hated father becomes a person he can accept unconditionally. You realize after hearing all the voices, it's because they were people, not static faces with voices, that Shinji can compare his world and his self-image to everyone he meets in the show to find his true self.
It's such a roundabout way to explain everything. All anyone needs is a famous quote by a powerful warrior, one who transcended the mortal realm for his wisdom, bravery, and sheer popularity:
Tumblr media
I never heard about ATLA until COVID-19. Funny because if I had heard of this show when it came out, I would have had a very different childhood.
My favorite post-spring break gift from my professors is an exam (it's not.)

Summer went away Still, the yearning stays
Elsie MacFadden is a woman who’s obsessed with love. She eats it, sleeps it, hell, she’s even made a living off of celebrating it— but no matter how hard she tries, Elsie simply can’t find it. You see, Elsie has a peculiar problem: any time she loses her temper, she makes the world see red. Despite every attempt to control it, her unique “gifts” mean that she’s forever doomed to bring out some of the worst, most volatile qualities in others. From screaming matches, to barroom brawls, Elsie has a nasty habit of turning perfectly nice people into raging brutes… a real curse, for a girl who just wants to fall in love.
01. BASICS
NAME: Elspeth Blake MacFadden ALIAS: Elsie, Elle BIRTHDATE: October 24th, 1993 AGE: 30 BIRTHPLACE: Ottertail, Minnesota, USA GENDER: Cis Female SEXUALITY: Heteroflexible OCCUPATION: Wedding planner
02. LOOKS
HEIGHT: 5'1 HAIR COLOR: Blonde EYE COLOR: Blue FACE CLAIM: Nicola Coughlan
03. DEMIGOD DETAILS
PARENTAGE: Aries ABILITIES: Odikinesis, slightly enhanced speed and strength, advanced weapons training WORSHIPS: Aphrodite, Eros, Hera MAGICAL ITEM(S): None yet
'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned
Chapter 1 - Never Grow Up
By most accounts, Elsie’s childhood was picture perfect. As the eldest of three girls in a quintessential nuclear family, her parents—a former pageant queen and a local grade school teacher—gave her the kind of idealized middle-class life that most Americans only dream of. It was a simple existence; summers spent lounging on the lake, winters playing in the endless snow, princess dress up games, and fairytales at bedtime. Really, Elsie’s girlhood was like a dream— well, it was for the first few years, anyway. See, for Elsie, puberty started young— in fact, she was only ten years old when her “monthly visitor” decided to make an appearance one day on the schoolyard. But the acne, and the boobs, and the stained jeans weren’t the worst of it… because for Elsie, there were flying pigs. Literal pigs. Flying. Very mean, very scary, very hungry pigs. And somehow, no one seemed to care. That meant poor Elsie, who’d never thrown a punch in her whole life, had to beat the snot out of the little porkers herself. As if all of that weren’t enough, when it was all said and done, it was Elsie who was in trouble. Fighting on the schoolyard, they’d said— she was a brute, a bully, a bad girl who hit second graders. Needless to say, Elsie was flabbergasted by the entire experience… A feeling that would only go on to be exasperated when a big, scary man rolled up on a harley to pick her up from the principal’s office. Under normal circumstances, Elsie never would’ve broken a rule and talked to a stranger, let alone let him give her a ride. But this stranger brought her a change of clothes and scared her principal so badly that he pissed himself, and quite frankly, Elsie didn’t have a lot of options at the time.
Chapter 2 - Seven
Three weeks and a few very illuminating (and slightly frightening) conversations later, Elsie left the midwest behind and arrived in Camp Halblood for her first summer. A sweet, idealistic child, she walked in with bright eyes and silly little fantasies of magic and myth filling her head. When she got there, she wasn’t disappointed — it was the kind of place she’d only heard about in story books. Pegasi flitting through the air, sword fights, super-powers: it had it all. 
However, there was one thing Elsie had failed to consider upon her arrival: the trouble with family. Whereas back home, she’d always gotten along with her sisters, her new “family” proved to be a different story. They didn’t bully her like they did the other kids— in fact, some of them were even downright nice to her. However, it was clear to just about every camper, herself included, that Elsie seemed to have missed the plot on the whole Ares thing. 
See, no matter how hard she tried, Elsie just never seemed to fit in with her brothers and sisters. Sure, she was capable enough with a sword and shield, but she had no passion for war. Fighting, arguing, training, competing against one another — such things brought her little joy. All Elsie really wanted to do was spend her summers braiding her friends hair and reading her silly little books by the lake. Needless to say, this made her the odd man out with the rest of her cabin.
Thankfully, Elsie found a home in other places: namely, Cabin 10. A giggly and feminine young girl, with a sweet disposition and a remarkable imagination that was fueled by all manner of romantic stories and outlandish novels, she easily found a home for herself amongst the beautiful and charming sons and daughters of Aphrodite. 
Chapter 3 - Forever and Always
The older Elsie grew, the greater and more varied her interests became: music, literature, fashion, beauty, pegasus riding, cooking, swimming, dancing, and all manner of arts and crafts. However, there was nothing that interested Elsie more than love. This most horrid of obsession filled Elsie’s every waking thought — the desire for it, the pursuit of it, the endless possibilities of how it might unfold or where she might finally discover it. Fueled by her wild imagination and the influences of her friends, it was all she ever thought about.
The summer of her sixteenth year, she finally thought she’d discovered it in the form of a handsome young demigod with striking eyes. Unsurprisingly, Elsie became utterly infatuated by him, and before midsummer’s eve, Elsie had won her very first boyfriend. 
Only, love is not often an easy thing for a teenage girl, let alone a child of war… One fateful night, Elsie discovered her little boyfriend snuggled up with another girl by the campfire. In that moment, everything went up in smoke. Elsie saw red and the next thing she knew, every camper gathered around that fire was at eachother’s throats. It was a brawl so outrageous, four people ended up in the camp infirmary overnight.
It was then that Elsie discovered a terrible and horrifying gift: the power to strike fear, hate, rage, and the horrific emotions of war onto others. A gift so tragic, it felt like a curse.
Chapter 4 - New Romantics
Elsie’s life took a dramatic turn when she came to Haydes eight years ago. Fresh out of college and more hopelessly romantic than ever, she dove headfirst into the world of wedding planning, turning her passion for love into a thriving business. Today, she stands as the town's premier wedding planner, orchestrating dreams into reality for the lovers of Hyades. While professionally successful, Elsie grapples with her own loneliness and personal failures. Her dating life has been a series of constant attempts to find love, yet her relationships seldom surpass the six-month mark. It seems that no matter how nice a guy seems, they never can withstand that inevitable first argument.
Now in her thirties, Elsie finds herself in a state of panic. The self-inflicted pressure to achieve her perfect life—a love-filled existence with a white picket fence—weighs heavily on her very soul. The fear of never attaining this idyllic vision leaves her feeling like the world is closing in, and uncertainty looms over her future. The once enchanting dreams of a fairy tale existence now face the harsh reality of adulthood, and Elsie is left wondering if her idealized vision will ever manifest.

Text Log - William Samuel Part 1
Samuel and Williams story gets into the real nitty-gritty of the underground scientists since William was one himself and was partners with Rex once upon a time It was after Rex's betrayal that he and a couple of others left him and formed a gang that mainly fights against Rex's team When he was working with him William developed his lightning weapons and completed a prototype of his knives. He uses them to fight and with the meteorite explosion he is fully attuned to anything electricity related which boosted his efficiency of his knives
Regu — 03/20/2023 4:50 AM Samuel was mainly an innocent bystander who unfortunately got caught up in a messy experiment that involved the meteorite in an active environment He was a simple mail man tasked with delivering the meteorite in a strange location, unknown to him was a place were William's crew was hiding out and on that day there was a battle between him and his enemies That activity somehow made the meteorite react violently, causing a major explosion Samuel lived however and was somehow up and moving afterwards but when he went home weeks had already passed and he was presumed dead Feeling lost he wondered around abandoned areas without any motivations or anything till one day he mindlessly started picking up lost mail and tried to deliver it
Regu — 03/20/2023 4:59 AM Eventually after mulling around Samuel would find an abandoned mall and become companions with a giant mutant tarantula beast He decided to make it his base and took time to learn self defense After 2 ish years Samuel became acquainted with living in the abandoned cities and learned how to fend for himself It was then when he saw ppl in danger and decided to help them To his surprise it was William tormenting the people he didn't know him other than he was there during the explosion but considering he was messing with ppl he wasnt under a good impression of him [5:04 AM] It was here a start of a rivalry between Samuel and William since  Samuel was able to defeat William  completely It was also there a start of a new crew consisting of Samuel and his new team members looking to be a place were people are protected from the constant battles within the abandoned cities From there Samuel's name quickly grew and became a part of the weird battle system established in the zone but Samuel was able to fend off his opponents and became a newfound leader
Regu — 03/20/2023 5:07 AM Samuel and William often butted heads alot considering their bases were quite close to each others and Samuel would steal resources from then since Williams crew own an entire city area (looks similar/akin to Las Vegas) [5:12 AM] Regardless how many times Samuel was caught he kept going into Williams base to gain things for his growing community and didn't want anybody to put themselves in that kinda danger After being an established leader he learned abt the other crews within the zone There was William and his team the biggest around A team based on racing A team who works in the shadows And a team that consisted of ex-stars There are a lot of smaller teams but they would get caught up with the bigger teams
Regu — 03/20/2023 5:16 AM Kinda like a king of the hill type battle system ?  One with the biggest claimed land is the strongest team [5:20 AM] At first Samuel thought William was being stingy with his resources without knowing that William was using his name and power in order to get back at Rex and take his revenge It was one day were William started to make threats to Samuels team to try and intimate him but it didn't work so then Williams crew kept attacking Samuels base Samuel and some others were able to fend them off but they kept coming day after day and despite their resilience Samuel's crew is still much smaller than Williams
Regu — 03/20/2023 5:26 AM It was then Samuel finally decided to surrender after days of attacks William agreed to stop attacking the base but under the condition the Samuel comes with William and his crew Not wanting to get destroyed by his crew Samuel agreed It wasnt long however where something waiting for the exact moment they were together where took both Samuel and William and they were suddenly held captive by Rex [5:28 AM] Rex was eager to conduct his previous experiments again with the meteorite explosion but decided to wait to see the after affects After 3 ish years however he grew impatient and decided to take both parties to see the results of it up close

[TW - Bugs & Self-harm]
>FILE ACCESSED - DATE 12/2/22, TIME 1:03 AM.
>FILE STATUS - CLASSIFIED
Officially, I don't exist anymore. I'm dead, been that way for a long time now. That's not true for everyone who works in my field, some of them get to keep their lives intact. Not me, I dove in head first when I found out what we did and almost didn't live to regret it. My thoughts on that have changed since then. What we do should be public knowledge - the things that hurt people shouldn't be kept secret for a bullshit reason like "The public is too chaotic" or whatever they say nowadays to the new guys. I may get caught, I may not, I hope by spreading this on a site like this there will be a significant delay between my whistleblowing and my death, but we'll just have to see. Continue reading at your own discretion.
It was November 28th, 1965. I was being dispatched to a possible sighting of what we called "Watchers". I think these days people like to call them "Hide Behinds”, which is a much less succinct name but I digress. I was driving from D.C. to Utah, and this was back before they decided to start sticking us with partners. That was after ‘66, I don’t really know what drove the change but I’d be dead many times over if not for my old partner. Damn, thinking back I really wish I had one when this went down, but all I had to accompany me on my drive was the radio. Not exactly the top tier conversationalist unless you’re half insane.
Like I said though, D.C. to Utah. I was getting used to the feeling of being out of my depth, but somewhere in the middle of nowhere Kansas something started prickling my sixth sense. One thing that one of the other guys told me when I started working was to never ignore that feeling. It’s not an end all be all. It doesn’t always help, and it’s just pretty vague in general, but better to react to it when its nothing than ignore the cause of your death.
It was near 10 P.M. at the time, already far too late into the night for me to have been driving but I… well I was still trying to be a human being I guess. Wanted to get to Utah before the damn thing had a chance to kill again. The cornfields around me were impossible to see through, but I looked anyway. I didn't dare slow down my car in case whatever it was attempted to attack me, but as the feeling kept getting more and more powerful I could feel the terror creeping in. What was it? What was out here in the fields that could keep up with a car?
I almost hit it before I realized the other possibility. Something that looked like it had once been a man was standing on the side of the road. I slammed on my breaks and swerved to avoid hitting it, my car spinning out in a half circle and ending up facing it. As I calmed down, I got a better look at it. It's head was at an odd angle, and I could tell from the light my car was cascading upon it that the left leg had been stripped of flesh down to the bone. So, I of course, did the smartest thing possible, and slowly stepped out into the cold night air. It continued shuffling down the road, and even from the distance that I was at I could hear the odd clack of bone hitting the cement.
An important thing to note is that most of these fuckers are flesh and blood. They exist in the material world and can be stopped; or at the very least significantly injured by material things. I drew my service weapon and felt significantly calmer with the cool steel in my hand. As I heard the safety click, the thing stopped but didn’t turn around towards the sound. I thought something along the lines of 'Zombie, okay, first I've heard of them but I'm sure I just missed something.', and in my defense there was a lot of information I was told to comb through in only about a week, so it wasn't too small of a possibility for me to have missed something. Another important thing is that some of these creatures are pretty damn intelligent, around as smart as humans or smarter, so I thought I'd give it a chance to talk before I did anything.
"My name is Agent Fletcher, part of the Leftfield program. Who are you?" I yelled, my voice more jittery than I would have liked.
The smarter guys would know what we were, and those that didn’t, well… the creature twitched, and then slowly began to turn towards me. I watched in horrible fascination as it turned and I got a look at its face. The flesh around his skull was fully eaten away, revealing a writhing mass of insects underneath. They were everywhere in him, now that I was looking I could see them crawling out of the corpse from every opening. They escaped through his ears, his leg, even burrowing out of the rotting flesh in a mad scramble. It was almost too late before I realized what they were scrambling for. They were coming out of the ground as I was frozen in fear, staring into the empty sockets of the man. Oddly enough, a single centipede, much larger than the rest, was staring back at me. I could barely see its black beady eyes, however there was a deep hatred in them that kept me frozen. As the first of the bastards tore through my leg the pain brought me to action.
I began squashing them left and right and started running to my car. Every step must have crushed hundreds of tiny insects all trying to rip into my flesh. They were at least as far as my calf by the time I managed to get into my car, and as I slammed the door, I definitely heard an audible crunch. I fumbled in terror for a moment as the bugs filled all windows of my car, surrounding me in darkness and burying me beneath a squirming mass. I hit the gas not caring if I hit the fields. As my car accelerated past 75 mph the things started to fly off of the windows by themselves, and I could hear the sound of bugs being crushed by my shitty windshield wipers. I knew, however, that I wasn’t safe. I could hear them in the car, crawling all around me but just out of eye sight. I knew I couldn’t stop at least for another couple of minutes before I was far enough away from whatever the hell the thing was.
Every few moments, I saw something poke out of the different parts of my car. I could see them worming their way into the different instruments on my dash, trying to find their way to me. It wasn’t long before they found their way to the air vents, and I quickly grabbed my knife from the glovebox and began stabbing them. I heard their hissing comming from all around me not long after, and another terror began to encroach on me as I felt some make their way from the seat into my leg, and I slammed on the breaks and ran from my car.
The pain was sharp, piercing. I felt hundreds of tiny needles stabbing into me, consuming me from the inside out. I didn't know what to do at first, in shock from the pain, but as they began moving upwards, I quickly thought of a solution. I had my knife. I had a lighter in my pocket. I had some number of bugs trying to burrow up through my skin towards my head. I got the first ones relatively easily, ignoring the smell of burning flesh and the searing pain. After that, the bugs quickly learned and started burrowing deeper than any wound has ever gotten, and I was forced to follow.
It took me four minutes. Four minutes of hell, scarring myself and waiting for one of the fuckers to slip up and move close enough to the surface for me to get it with the knife. Self preservation opens the window to absurdity.
Luckily it was dark enough that I could barely see the damage. I had solved the first issue, and I dared a trip back to my car to grab my medical supplies, managing to retrieve enough of them to stem the worst of the bleeding, so I was in no immediate danger of death anymore. I sat there, in the darkness, for a few minutes, with every itch and tingle driving me insane.
How would I know if I had gotten all of them? How would I know that there wasn't one who could mask itself better and was about to reach my brain? Was that lump always there on my skin? What part of the pain that I was experiencing was the damage I had done to myself? Was it actually the pain of something moving under my flesh, one that I had missed? Suddenly, a bright light illuimated me and I turned towards the culprit. A car was driving down the road, and as it reached me, it began to slow. I limped over as he fully stopped, seeing a middle aged man. After a quick lie about a car accident, he agreed to take me to the nearest town.
I spent the rest of the evening in the hospital. I didn’t sleep, something in me was sure that if I did the bugs would start crawling out of the sink, out of the different cracks in the ground, ready to finish the job. I convinced the nurse at the ER that I needed to be off, only really managing to do so because of my badge. Around 3 A.M. or so, I found myself in a motel, devising a plan to take the thing down. Fire, certainly, was my best bet. I tried my best to sleep after that, but it was mostly fruitless. I woke to every ache that my body felt, and every tingle that could be the signal that something else was taking control. The next morning, I went into a gas station, buying a six pack, a liter of gasoline, and some rags. The man at the counter gave me an odd look, but nobody really questions you if you look like a ‘G-man’. I got a ride back to my car from someone else, and after inspecting everything to make sure something else wasn’t hiding in it, all I could do was sit around and wait.
I spent two more days in that town, some of the longest in my life. The anxiety, the pain, my nerves were shot to hell too. Three people disappeared from the nearby farms during that time. Three people I didn't save because I couldn't think fast enough to create a solution when I first saw the bastard. I’ve gotten better since then, but I’m not perfect. I know some of the guys on the force let it ruin them, and I refuse to let that happen. Can’t be much help if I’m too busy fighting my own demons, now can I?
When it finally decided to show itself again, I was ready to leave, half convinced that I needed to just head off to the main purpose of my trip. I was looping around the town on the back roads when I saw it. The thing had taken a different body by then, the new guy was much fatter and as I approached, I could already see the signs of decay and consumption that the swarm had left on its new victim. As I calmly stepped out of my car, it didn’t stop moving and kept its slow pace forward. I grabbed a molotov, and only then did it stop as the few bottles I had clinked against each other. After the first bottle started burning, I could see the bugs beginning to climb out of the ground, but I was ready this time. Three bottles in I could hear the things inside of their terrible rotting abode screaming and popping in the heat. I used another two to burn the excess bugs that were attempting to attack me, or maybe they were trying to escape at that point. The last one I used on the corpse after it had started to calm down, burning it even longer. Afterwards, I managed to find a bit of the original centipede which had stared at me, and placed it inside of a small metal tube for further examination.
I only gave myself another day of rest before I continued on my journey. In Colorado I connected with another agent from the program. He had been informed that I would be passing through and we were to check in with each other. I’d learned that this practice was pretty typical, if someone failed to show up, the other agent would be tasked with going to solve their last known case in the possibility that they had died on the way or had died in the line of duty. I barely made it to the rendezvous, the other agent was about to leave before I managed to catch him in a coffee shop.
It was a small, rundown place. Honestly, the only reason I noticed it was because of his vehicle parked outside of it. The inside was no better, but we met eyes and the man nodded his head in what seemed like a mixture of relief and greetings. After I told my story to him I finally learned the bastard’s name.
“I’ve always called them ‘Hosts’, but I think some of the guys in the science division have a more technical name for them.” He informed me, rubbing the back of his neck and ordered me a drink. “Fire… that’s the best you’ll get. I think we lost a guy a few years ago 'cause he had the brilliant idea to try and shoot the damn things."
We paused for a moment as the barista brought me my coffee, and after I took a sip I replied "Yeah, I didn't really know anything else to attack them with. Pesticides maybe?"
We both laughed at that one before he gave me a serious look "You sure you got all of them Fletcher?"
"Y-yeah. I'm sure I would have felt it crawling in me if I hadn't, right?"
He just nodded and mumbled something into his coffee as he took another sip. As we sat there in silence, I couldn’t ignore the sudden feeling of an itch on my leg, but I tried my best to ignore it. Suddenly, he stood and paid for both of the drinks, beginning to head out.
"Well, I'll be off then. You're behind schedule as is, best you get going too."
"No rest for the wicked, right?"
I've never forgotten his smile as he walked out of the cafe. It was a mix of pity and knowing, a smile that haunted me with its secrets. I suspect my own looks similar these days, coupled with its own stories behind it. My leg always begins to ache slightly when I think about that job. I still humor the possibility that I'm being driven by a bug from time to time, but regardless of the odd tingles that I get, I try not to dwell on it anymore.
So, monsters are real - the things that kids whine about in the night, the things that kill or impersonate hikers in the wilds, and even things that fry the mind by trying to properly comprehend. They're real. Not all of them mind you, Steven King is just fiction, but some people have had a connection to something paranormal. I genuinely believe Lovecraft tapped into something like what I'm talking about, Cthulhu isn't real but there's definitely something like it - you get the point.
The official program, titled "Project Leftfield", gets its money from the U.S. military's budget. There's so much money moving in and out of there that no one is going to miss the funding for a few hundred guys. We had a close call back in '66 with the FOI act, really had to go blackout then, wiped all internal actions with the FBI. Turned out to be the best damn thing that happened to the program. The director was essentially his own boss, had to occasionally give a report to some anonymous congressmen, say something about how our actions were "keeping the peace, and making excellent progress" or something like that and he got a million dollars pushed his way. They didn’t care anyways. In those days, they were much more likely to skim some into their own pockets rather than look at us twice.
Don’t ask me who founded the program, I don’t know. Our current director, [REDACTED], is always vague when I ask him any questions that don’t directly pertain to the line of duty. All I know is that he’s not the first one, and that according to some coworkers, he’s “significantly better than the last.” so I’ll be avoiding the question until I need to ask it. Occasionally you’d get someone going on a power trip as we were still figuring things out, but that mostly settled down as the years went on.
To any god that cares, my name is Agent Fletcher and I hope to continue sharing these stories.

Wish you the best wherever you ended up, Fletcher.

Can Chrono Odyssey THRIVE with Kakao as a Publisher?
Last year I did a video on a game called Chrono Odyssey, an MMORPG with a premise of exploring time with action based time manipulation combat. The game had originally been announced in 2020 with some sort of release or testing window for 2022. Many followers thought the game had died off in development, but then in May of 2023 we got an update and it's been silent since. We’ve since gotten a small update about Chrono Odyssey and that it is still under development now under Chrono Studio (a subsidiary of Npixel), will launch with a box price, is listed on Steam and Epic Game Store, and will be published by Kakao.
While not a lot of details are available for the game, we do know the plan is to have extensive character customization. There will be six combat classes, with a choice of 18 weapons so players can build what they want. There will also be meaningful harvesting and crafting, raids and dungeons, although they did mention a possible ability to solo dungeons, so we will have to see how that works. The game itself is set in a seamless open world that is 12 km² in size, which compared to other games building in Unreal Engine 5 is very small. By contrast Ashes of Creation is planning on having a 1200 km² size world. However, if you watch the tech demo presentation they talk about layering so the world so you explore it in different times. If you are able to move between times and each one of these times is unique, then that 12 km² suddenly becomes much bigger.
They have not yet stated if there will be PVP and PVE servers, in fact they haven’t really detailed much about the PVP (if any) yet at all. They also didn’t give any updates on the original “mobile” cross-play so that may either be gone, or just a dirty little secret. On the topic of dirty, now for the bad news.
Chrono Odyssey is going to be published by Kakao Games, the original publishers of Black Desert Online and the current publishers of Archeage and the owners of XL Games who is developing Archeage 2. Kakao has a long history of aggressive monetization and unfair treatment to players, specifically when they acquired the rights/servers of Archeage Legacy and Archeage Unchained and they basically stole/cheated/swindled the player base out of their credits. For some people, Kakao being involved in the project means they won’t touch it. For now, all we know is that Chrono Odyssey is going to be a buy to play game.
So, what do you think? Does this one have you interested? Or is it a pass since Kakao is involved? Let me know in the comments.

The Play's The Thing Watch: Deathtrap (1982)
Tumblr media
Watched:  03/28/2023
Format:  TCM
Viewing:  First
Director:  Sidney Lumet
We watched Deathtrap (1982) in 2 parts, watching the first 30 minutes or so the night before we wrapped it up, finishing the last hour.  In between, I made comment to some pals that you don't see many movies about plays and the theatre, especially based on plays.  There are some, but not a lot.  There's a gulf in many folk's knowledge of Broadway other than that the tickets are pretty expensive when Spamelot! comes to town, but you pay it.  I expect this is a bit different for New Yorkers or Londoners, which an overwhelmingly vast majority of us are not, so movies have to be careful and ensure folks living in the suburbs know wtf they're talking about.
Still, you can do it and get away with it.  I can't name one of the movies we kicked around that I'd seen (Noises Off!, Rosencrantz and Gildenstern, Chorus Line) that I don't like.  Probably should have squeezed in Cabaret for good measure.  
And, of course, I'm a Michael Caine stan, and the co-star is Christopher Reeve.  Plus: Dyan Cannon!  
It's a movie with a small cast, with Caine on screen > 75% of the time.  Sticking to the stageplay, it mostly takes place inside a single location of an East Hamptons house - something I assume means something to people from NYC and only marginally something to folks from Austin, TX.  
It's Caine as a failing playwright of comedic thrillers, his wealthy wife Dyan Cannon, and Christopher Reeve, who has written a brilliant play on his first go, and Caine realizes he can steal the play if he bumps off Reeve and takes it, putting his own name on it.
The set-up allows for amazing staging with props left over from Caine's prior shows around, his vintage collection of weapons, etc... 
For a play about plays, it doesn't get too in the weeds, I think, even as it probably was making jokes I wasn't quite getting referring to the theater scene.  It also has a very tight grip on the mechanics of thrillers - as it both is a thriller and talks about thrillers, sometimes passing through the looking glass in a single scene where it becomes clear the action is mounting.
This is really the astounding bit.  
It's a sort of light-chuckle comedy for the most part - that's part of the mix when you're also writing a script with the fairly serious business of murder for personal gain.  Cannon's character is a Simon character with daffy quirks you know aren't just set dressing, and tossing in a psychic with an accent is a lot, but in it's better moments the thing works splendidly.
SPOILERS
But the last scene was... not great.  Already it's hard to deal with a thriller that requires a wacky character to have what seems to be functioning ESP.  You've just entered magic into your thriller, plus a complete lack of boundaries from a stranger in a way that feels dishonest.  
Ha ha.  Got it.  She used her abilities to suss out the situation and made a buck off the two guys bumping each other off...  it's just not narratively very satisfying.  But it also feels very much like something in 1980 people would have found cute.  And cute is a weird f'ing turn for this movie to pursue in the final minutes of run time.  
Overall, I liked the movie, but it's really weird to watch something and feel like the movie absolutely fumbled on the one yard line.  Maybe a re-watch would get me to reconsider, but I don't know who inclined I am to a re-watch.
That said, Caine is typically phenomenal Caine, Reeve is fucking great, and Dyan Cannon is an absolute delight.

Ninja Gaiden Black - Finished 23/03/2023
Tumblr media
Man, I need to vet these games more before I decide I’m gonna finish them.
That’s not to say that Ninja Gaiden Black is a bad game, of course, to start right off the bat I enjoyed it quite a bit. While I didn’t initially plan on playing it, thinking back on the Devil May Cry games I remembered I never really gave this one a shot, when reminiscing over Xbox exclusives with friends. I always think of how much I’ve changed since then, from not being able to beat the first level of DMC3 as a kid, to eventually beating it and adoring each moment. I also think back to recently beating Dark Souls 2, and even though I usually downplay how “good” I am at games and use excuses as to why what I’m able to do I consider to not be out of the ordinary. Dark Souls 2 definitely got me to reflect on that and give myself some credit but fuck, after Ninja Gaiden Black, just give me all the credit. Give me the whole arcade, actually.
I get kinda weird about gaging difficulty for games, I think the modern perspective of difficulty is completely different to what it was, and the fact that we’ve all accepted Souls as “the most difficult thing to ever exist ever” is kinda proof of that. However, if we’re basing it on 21st Century games, no save states, no exploits, running through as intended, and factoring in a consistent struggle rather than random difficulty “stuck” spikes... Ninja Gaiden Black is almost definitely the hardest game I’ve ever beaten, and I only played it on normal.
Y’see, the way I see it is with a game like Dark Souls, as difficult as its hardest points can be, one or two messing around with the game’s systems or having a full commitment to one build can mitigate a LOT of the game’s overall frustrations. Ninja Gaiden Black requires at least a good amount of competency in its overall mechanics and combat in order to be beaten. And to be fair the game’s combat is pretty damn good! You’re given the faith of having a large kit right from the getgo, and your interest is only kept over time with the introduction of upgrades and new weapons, and different kinds of projectiles to weave into battle. Enemies hit hard but so do you, and (most of) their attacks are well-telegraphed enough for you to use one of many effective defence mechanisms and come back with a 20/30 hit, fighting game-style combo, that feels satisfying in a way unlike any other game of its kind.
Where the game ultimately fails in terms of its Devil May Cry contemporaries, however, is having its combat and platforming elements coexist without conflicting with each other. Both on their own at their best moments shine very brightly, especially how wall running can lead to some true ninja-esque moments, but when fused together to fit in one cohesive game, can lead to a lot of unintended inputs that are impossible to easily mitigate. That along with the absolutely terrible camera in the game lead to issues like completely missing a jump and being unable to gauge what is needed to land, and losing a combo because you needed to spam a move to give yourself the right spacing which you still weren’t able to get. 
The game is kind of filled with frustrating aspects like this, including the fairly primitive first-person bow mechanics in urgent combat situations, but I think the shocking thing is despite the game’s most glaring annoyances the whole experience remains pretty damn solid. The bosses, while extremely hard and also very infuriating with how much they repeat the same bosses over and over again, definitely still have their highlights, and some manage to be extremely engaging and rewarding. The graphics look insane for 6th gen, you can tell that this is a game that tested the Xbox to its limits. The story... honestly I had no fucking clue what was happening but the FMV’s look cool as shit.
Now don’t get me wrong, there were a LOT of moments playing this where I was on the verge of crying and going “there was no reason to make the game this hard”, but hey I fucking beat it! Which is saying something considering how unfair the game can be at points with saves (even if it’s one of the more generous of the generation), and extremely minimal heals at the beginning of the game, which lead to me hoarding all my heals till the end of the game making it harder for myself, but fuck I breezed through the last part of the game cuz of that, hey I even beat the final boss on my first try! Frustrating and faulty on a level that doesn’t make it as strong as the two DMC games I finished, but still a really fun experience I can now use as bragging rights from hereon out in my gaming career.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ━━━ pre season 1
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Elowen was born in Beacon Hills, deep in the preserve and hidden from others. She had a happy childhood, the first half of her life. Their group liked to spend more time in their faerie form, choosing the human one when they needed to interact with other humans in town and for legal purposes.
Her mother, Freya, had a high level in the hierarchy, and was opposed to socialize with humans or other supernatural beings. She advised their Queen to cut their relationship with the Hales, since she distrusted the wolf pack.
Everything came down when the hunters killed their Queen by association with the Hales. The colony got together to mourn when they were found and attacked by surprise. Most of them perished, but a small group survived, Freya and Elowen included.
The colony regrouped as far as they could of the remains of the Hale house, and they proclaimed Freya their new Queen.
Elowen grew up always hearing stories about how the wolves were the responsible of they demise and how you shouldn't trust a pack of wolves, but she remembered how kind Alpha Hale and her kids were, whenever they would see each other.
Since kids in their colony were homeschooled to avoid other people, El wanted to go outside and have the experience, because she believed not everyone was bad and not all species were untrustworthy. At 15, she insisted to go to the local high school. Her mother, trusting her daughter but doubting her heart would recognize the evil inside other beings, asked her right hand and then Alan Deaton for advice. They got to an arrangement: El would go to school for one year to have a taste and then back to home schooling. Deaton said he would use his connections to enroll her for the second part of the school year. He assured Freya that Beacons Hills was peaceful.
El was so happy to start as soon the human holidays were over. 2011 would be the best year of her life.
━━━ during canon
She felt drown to Stiles, his energy had something that she liked. El knew it was weird but she found herself following him around. She had a sense of happiness hearing him being excited and talking with his whole body. Thanks to that, she found out that his best friend was a werewolf, recently bitten, and that Derek, Talia's older son was back in town.
She figured out who the Alpha was, when the murders started, and had no choice but tell her mother. Freya didn't want to get caught in the middle, afraid of history repeating. She was so worried that wanted to keep El in the woods and never let her go. The official advicer said she needed to trust Elowen's judgment, to let her make her own mistakes. It was part of growing up.
El didn't need to warn Derek, because the Alpha was killed before she said anything. However, she approached him once it was over. Surprisingly he remember her. He took her like a little sister and promised Freya he would take care of her.
She was the one who suggested who were good candidates to become a wolf, using her powers to look for teens in need, those whose dreams where full of sadness and fear. She picked Erica, Boyd, Isaac and another girl, but the spot was taken by Derek's decision to bit Jackson, so El didn't say anything about the forth girl.
El spent so much time around Derek that she got to know the others too. She was glad that she could see Stiles' energy up close, there was something funny with the guy that made her giggle. Derek would roll his eyes at her excitement. Stiles treated her almost like a child sister, because her personality.
She did not like Lydia, something was off with her but when Derek and his pack suspected she was the Kanima, she was against it and tried to help finding the real one. Later she would find that her faerie type didn't like banshees, as they had death around and they represent life.
Allison was another person she didn't like, she could see her whole hunter aura and was something that disturbed the Hale land, making her sick.
She cried for days when Boyd and Erica died, feeling guilty for bring them into the supernatural world. The only good thing was seeing Cora again. She would have playdates when they were little, and she never forgot her.
The nogitsune event would be worse if it wasn't because of her. The others found weird or funny her attraction to everything Stiles did, but thanks to that noticed something was wrong and used her powers to see into his head at night and push him to close the door. She shared her worries with her mother and she knew what it was. This lead to them separating Stiles from the Nogitsune in time. There were deaths and chaos, which pushed Allison and Issac to leave Beacon Hills together, to the dislike of her father.
When Derek evolved and decided to leave Beacon Hills, he promised her he would be back, and gave her a place hidden in the Hale territory, since they were exposed when her and her mother name, along other faeries were on the Deadpool. Elowen kept their new location a secret because she respect that they don't want to mix up with other humans or weres and wanted to keep them safe.

Go Back to Firefox and press play on Ninja Saga 7. Go Back to CE and 2 times press F9 8. Now right click and press "Toggle Break Point" And F9 again And Viola! Privacy Policy. Fixed DBVM from not working Fixed Kernelmode debugging with DBVM in bit Several disassembler fixes Scanning errors now show the error Fixed a few bit assembler instructions Fixed doubleclicking the assembler scan going to Fixed the assembler scan going from ffffffff back to 0 and starting over again Fixed autoattach causing huge memory leak Fixed clicking nextscan when having 0 results Fixed 8 byte scans so they it can now scan negative values Prevent a bit plugin from showing up error messages when loaded in the bit ce version It won't work Fixed the VEH debugger from not handling int3 breakpoints properly Fixed XMM registers in the veh debugger Fixed the VEH debugger from causing a program to hang when Cheat Engine is closed normally Changes since public release: max 7 days June 4 Add the shellExecute lua function June 5 Fix assembling of movq June 7 Fix loading a table after having a table with files. And fix the listbox and combobox in the designer. And AOBscan script fix June 9 Fix lua memory scan creation and reading out the results Changes: Added a structure spider which may help in finding ways to distinguish between two objects Value scanning can now take formulas Added a form designer to create lua extensions Added an automated trainer generator that will generate a trainer script for you Added lots and lots of new functions to the lua engine. Check the helpfile or main. Backspace returns Added the. It is used by the lua dll's that CE makes use of. If you need to use them, just use Cheat Engine 5. And other features have just been stripped because they where useless hyperscan Of course, new stuff has been added like the VEHDebugger, improved pointerscan speed, ability to compare to the values of a saved scan, advanced scripting, etc If you encounter bugs or have suggestions, please do not hesitate to report them. Also, I heard news that scientists have finally managed to create pigs with wings January 5 Shortcut to launch Cheat Engine missing: In case you're noticing that when you start Cheat Engine you get a message that the shortcut isn't valid anymore and Cheat Engine. Really, any anti virus that deletes files without user permission is crap This is probably also the cause for the "Error Code 2" message during install The solution to this problem is uninstall your anti virus McAfee in particular and reboot. That process will only exist when the game has already been started June 30 10 year anniversary and 5. Of course, those that compiled the svn sourcecode did get to enjoy the new stuff earlier Anyhow, version 5. Someone could make a plugin for this, one probably more advanced than the old one Pointerscanner speed has been increased a lot New Icon thanks to Phox from the forum The pointerscanner can now scan for values The pointerscanner now lets you specify an offset list that it has to end with. Removed the injected pointerscanner The auto assembler now supports code outside of [enable] and [disable] sections so it affects both Resultcount is now comma seperated thanks to infinito New kernelmode debugger Added the ability to offload the current OS to dbvm if your cpu supports it The driver is now bit compatible. You will have to sign it yourself, or reboot with unsigned driver support Rewrote the disassemblerview Deleting addresses from a scanresult is now a bit faster Changed the hotkey handler to be more controllable New heaplist that works based on dll injection instead of toolhelp32 Dissectcode now helps finding referenced strings Added a new Auto assembler command "aobscan varname, arrayofbyte " Added a new Auto assembler command "assert address, arrayofbyte " which will make a script fail if the bytes aren't what they should be Dissect data now works with offsets instead of sizes Added the ability to follow pointers easily with Dissect Data There's now a stacktrace visible during debugging 2 different types The registerview is gone as long as you're not debugging CE now suppresses the "No disk" message when the systems searchpath is invalid Added a common modulelist to the ce folder that you can edit. Include files that you do NOT want to go through when doing memory inspection You can now open another pointerscanner window while another pointerscan is running and read the results. The pointerscanner can now also scan for values Added a string reference windows Improved the plugin system: You can now add auto assembler commands You can now get a callback when the disassembler is being rendered You can now add a plugin item to the context of the disassemler etc It now actually shows the floating point values Fixed several bugs in the Dissect Data window Several gui fixes for high dpi systems Many thanks to everyone that reported bugs e. Thanks to Psy for helping with the helpfile And thanks to Oliver Sahr who has sent me a lot of suggestions, data and other information, which I will work through in the coming months. And probably make adjustments to the site accordingly As for the future of CE, perhaps I can finally continue work on the bit port of CE Mainly usefull for auto assembler scripts that by default pick the far one copied the "Find out what addresses this code accesses" from advanced options to memory view Made the above function display the current value so you don't have to add them first And made it non-modal so you can do other stuff while it's working. Improved custom scan so it can now also display the results New speedhack implementation New AutoAssembler window Removed the question if you want a new scan. You must now click on new scan yourself Added GlobalAlloc to the autoassembler The dissect structure window can now be opened multiple times for comparison Structures are now saved in the cheat table The main ce window now has a menu can be disabled in settings if you don't like it The processlist can now show process icons. HLP to. CHM , also incorporated the plugin documentaion in the helpfile instead of a seperate. Also started implementing an emulator for the 'hard to virtualize' sections. It still needs a lot of cleanup work, and some parts could be used from other programs, or even from inside the compiler I have this nagging feeling the whole common. But it suits my needs. If anyone feels like it. Make a better one. The linking and filling in sizes could probable be done better instead of parsing the. May 25th Still alive I've been busy with other stuff but just wanted to let you all know there's still some stuff being done. The last few days a few bugfixes for CE commited in the SVN, several forum fixes regarding avatar and signature size, still busy planning a migration to phpbb3 someday, and updated the table database to update the date when a table is updated. Check the downloads page. It mainly fixes the bug where it doesn't initialize secondary cpu cores, sets the Aline to enabled, and a possible fix for systems with 4GB or more ram. January 1st New year, new site, new Cheat Engine 5. As you can see the new site is up, and also released version a new version of Cheat Engine changes And always, please report bugs when you encounter them. I refuse to fix them if you don't tell me about them just to annoy you! My good intention for this year is to try to update Cheat Engine a bit more often if I get the chance. There is also a wiki in the SVN so if you'd like to read it or contribute: Go here Also, don't worry about the layout right now. May get some heavy changes in the future, but at least now I've got a better base to start with. One change edits all pages as compared to the old site where each edit of the style or adition of the menu required editing each single file September 9th New design Started with designing a new website. The new site should give a better idea about what Cheat Engine is and what it can do. So if you're reading this, that means the move was successfull Anyhow, check the forum for more info September 9th Cheat Engine 5. Don't think that CE is stopped, I just suck at updating websites. Anyhow, check the download page for the download November 28th Cheat Engine 5. You still can't use multiple at the same time but it'll fix some 'not so' user-friendly problems Changed the hyperscan injection method when windows is detected. Or read the IGN Guide. Cheats On the main menu, input the following key commands to unlock characters and modes from the outset. Unlock Scorpion for Story Mode Unlock Sub-Zero for S Unlock Baraka In the soul tomb portal, got to the area where you have to wall climb. You will see 2 paths. One leads left, the other right. The right path has a statue. Use fist of ruin and break it. Keep going and use the long jump ability across the gap and y Unlock Johnny Cage In the wu-shi academy where everything is burning.

And fix the listbox and combobox in the designer. And AOBscan script fix June 9 Fix lua memory scan creation and reading out the results Changes: Added a structure spider which may help in finding ways to distinguish between two objects Value scanning can now take formulas Added a form designer to create lua extensions Added an automated trainer generator that will generate a trainer script for you Added lots and lots of new functions to the lua engine. Check the helpfile or main. Backspace returns Added the. It is used by the lua dll's that CE makes use of. If you need to use them, just use Cheat Engine 5. And other features have just been stripped because they where useless hyperscan Of course, new stuff has been added like the VEHDebugger, improved pointerscan speed, ability to compare to the values of a saved scan, advanced scripting, etc If you encounter bugs or have suggestions, please do not hesitate to report them. Also, I heard news that scientists have finally managed to create pigs with wings January 5 Shortcut to launch Cheat Engine missing: In case you're noticing that when you start Cheat Engine you get a message that the shortcut isn't valid anymore and Cheat Engine. Really, any anti virus that deletes files without user permission is crap This is probably also the cause for the "Error Code 2" message during install The solution to this problem is uninstall your anti virus McAfee in particular and reboot. That process will only exist when the game has already been started June 30 10 year anniversary and 5. Of course, those that compiled the svn sourcecode did get to enjoy the new stuff earlier Anyhow, version 5. Someone could make a plugin for this, one probably more advanced than the old one Pointerscanner speed has been increased a lot New Icon thanks to Phox from the forum The pointerscanner can now scan for values The pointerscanner now lets you specify an offset list that it has to end with. Removed the injected pointerscanner The auto assembler now supports code outside of [enable] and [disable] sections so it affects both Resultcount is now comma seperated thanks to infinito New kernelmode debugger Added the ability to offload the current OS to dbvm if your cpu supports it The driver is now bit compatible. You will have to sign it yourself, or reboot with unsigned driver support Rewrote the disassemblerview Deleting addresses from a scanresult is now a bit faster Changed the hotkey handler to be more controllable New heaplist that works based on dll injection instead of toolhelp32 Dissectcode now helps finding referenced strings Added a new Auto assembler command "aobscan varname, arrayofbyte " Added a new Auto assembler command "assert address, arrayofbyte " which will make a script fail if the bytes aren't what they should be Dissect data now works with offsets instead of sizes Added the ability to follow pointers easily with Dissect Data There's now a stacktrace visible during debugging 2 different types The registerview is gone as long as you're not debugging CE now suppresses the "No disk" message when the systems searchpath is invalid Added a common modulelist to the ce folder that you can edit. Include files that you do NOT want to go through when doing memory inspection You can now open another pointerscanner window while another pointerscan is running and read the results. The pointerscanner can now also scan for values Added a string reference windows Improved the plugin system: You can now add auto assembler commands You can now get a callback when the disassembler is being rendered You can now add a plugin item to the context of the disassemler etc It now actually shows the floating point values Fixed several bugs in the Dissect Data window Several gui fixes for high dpi systems Many thanks to everyone that reported bugs e. Thanks to Psy for helping with the helpfile And thanks to Oliver Sahr who has sent me a lot of suggestions, data and other information, which I will work through in the coming months. And probably make adjustments to the site accordingly As for the future of CE, perhaps I can finally continue work on the bit port of CE Mainly usefull for auto assembler scripts that by default pick the far one copied the "Find out what addresses this code accesses" from advanced options to memory view Made the above function display the current value so you don't have to add them first And made it non-modal so you can do other stuff while it's working. Improved custom scan so it can now also display the results New speedhack implementation New AutoAssembler window Removed the question if you want a new scan. You must now click on new scan yourself Added GlobalAlloc to the autoassembler The dissect structure window can now be opened multiple times for comparison Structures are now saved in the cheat table The main ce window now has a menu can be disabled in settings if you don't like it The processlist can now show process icons. HLP to. CHM , also incorporated the plugin documentaion in the helpfile instead of a seperate. Also started implementing an emulator for the 'hard to virtualize' sections. It still needs a lot of cleanup work, and some parts could be used from other programs, or even from inside the compiler I have this nagging feeling the whole common. But it suits my needs. If anyone feels like it. Make a better one. The linking and filling in sizes could probable be done better instead of parsing the. May 25th Still alive I've been busy with other stuff but just wanted to let you all know there's still some stuff being done. The last few days a few bugfixes for CE commited in the SVN, several forum fixes regarding avatar and signature size, still busy planning a migration to phpbb3 someday, and updated the table database to update the date when a table is updated. Check the downloads page. It mainly fixes the bug where it doesn't initialize secondary cpu cores, sets the Aline to enabled, and a possible fix for systems with 4GB or more ram. January 1st New year, new site, new Cheat Engine 5. As you can see the new site is up, and also released version a new version of Cheat Engine changes And always, please report bugs when you encounter them. I refuse to fix them if you don't tell me about them just to annoy you! My good intention for this year is to try to update Cheat Engine a bit more often if I get the chance. There is also a wiki in the SVN so if you'd like to read it or contribute: Go here Also, don't worry about the layout right now. May get some heavy changes in the future, but at least now I've got a better base to start with. One change edits all pages as compared to the old site where each edit of the style or adition of the menu required editing each single file September 9th New design Started with designing a new website. The new site should give a better idea about what Cheat Engine is and what it can do. So if you're reading this, that means the move was successfull Anyhow, check the forum for more info September 9th Cheat Engine 5. Don't think that CE is stopped, I just suck at updating websites. Anyhow, check the download page for the download November 28th Cheat Engine 5. You still can't use multiple at the same time but it'll fix some 'not so' user-friendly problems Changed the hyperscan injection method when windows is detected. Or read the IGN Guide.

Note 01 - on the boat to the Maiden’s tower. What a view
The arrival at the Istanbul airport was smooth. Shared the jet from texas with Patrick (Pouyanné). He is already a good research character. Good humor and friendly demeanor. He complained quite a bit about France's loss of sovereignty regarding the Oil and gas supply. My joke about the Russian winter worked like a charm. He seemed really interested in my “project” and gave me his visit card. He asked me if it was my first time at Aletheia. He told me he likes to go, when times become unsure. He said: “Wherever there is a potential for dangerous change, the remedy lies in ritual; and the rites invariably entail a repetition of the original solution, a rebirth of differences.”(1). He didn’t seem to me like a particularly spiritual person. tbc. 
The boat came to take us directly at the airport. I don't think we will ever reach the shores of istanbul. Approaching the Island. From here it is impossible to know what this tower is about . On the coast, strong men are smoking and seem to be patiently playing cards. Body guards? Smooth accostage. No boats around. I guess everyone here is a guest. You do not land by mistake. 
VESTIBULUM - 23°C
“Prepare to be born again” (2)“The other Even though we never touch, I love to walk, in silence, in the aura of your scent” (3)  “Everything is constant, but in the aleatory and the directional. Venus watches over rebirth, a whim of her springtime desire: the first occurrence of meetings and of collisions.” (4). Mimar Sinan, Architect
Note 02 - From a seat in the Lobby, the coffee is good.
Here we are. Aleitha Sultan Hammam. Grandiose. The space smells wonderfully. Everything is in good taste. The architecture is not particularly turkish. It is quite hard to determine the style. Feels like a fusion of the world. A few men in suits or thobes are also sipping their Turkish coffee, waiting to be called in. Everybody seems to check in for a business meeting. For now, no contact seems to be made between the different individuals, Also, no one seems to be departing. No relaxed bodies. Organized like chapels around the lobby, a few doors are waiting patiently. Patrick went into the first opening. I think I recognize Dai Houliang. Not sure. The card they gave us gives me now more to think than any of the people around me. 
APODYTERIUM - 26°C
“The air on Olympus was tense, breathless, as Athena slowly began to strip off her weapons.” (5) “They bathe in flowing water. The objects used in the sacrifice are thrown into the water, as if no one wanted to remember they ever existed. Everything must now be new.” (6)
Note 03 - just did 20 push ups, waiting for my breath to catch up. 
The first ritualist step was unexpectedly solitary. The cabins are “A shelter in which to undress [As a starter pack, I got a felt hat, wooden slippers, a soap, a hydrating face mask and a towel as] a canvas stretched like a garment away from the skin, a new veil.”(7). The burst of temperature under my feets made me understand that it was time for me to get rid of my clothes. In an alcove a shower was waiting for my holy dirty body. Soap and shower seem like an appropriate combination. The other items might be to dress up for my next role. Is it the way lobbyists prepare for their act? 
ELAEOTHESIUM - 28°C
“With the sacramental anointing of the most holy Chrism and the reception of the most holy Eucharist, You uniformly join the material world with the immaterial, the corporeal with the spiritual, the human with the divine.” (8) 
Note 03 - I feel really sticky.
The cabins opened to a room full of mirrors. Reflecting into them, bodies to infinity. It was a parralel lobby of sorts where the gazes started to touch. On the ground were big jars of tallow (they turned out to be “equine fat and petroleum” which I only knew to be used to lubricate war rifles.) I copied a strong young man who was massaging the fat into his skin, defining his muscles with every movement. I have heard before, that “the anointing with oil signifies man's ability to fight against the demons.” (9).He felt to me like he had a lot to prove to everyone around. By the  time I finished my anointing, he was gazing at himself in poses in the thousand reflections, his hydrating mask still on. Wearing the hat and slippers with a pride I did not think could exist. His stare felt heavy
TEPIDARIUM - 52°C
“By working, I water the terrain with my sweat; it is mine. (10)
Note 04 - taking notes feels wrong.
Finally a hot room. No indication of how long you are supposed to stay, there is no clock, no timer. I could observe the first  contact. A few mumbles around. First doubts. Do they know what I am doing here? Can they sense my disguise? The young man, now profusely sweating, landed his eyes on me. “In haste, I stripped myself of myself. I distributed my blood, my privacy among them, I offered them the universe, I brought them forth to the light of day.Under [his] unblinking gaze, I became a water drop, an ink blot. [He came to sit right next to me, made sure that our knees were touching.] I was shrinking into them, I was held entirely in their view and when, finally, I no longer had anything but my perfect nullity present and no longer had anything to see, they, too, ceased to see me, most annoyed, they rose, [mumbling]: Well, [How is your sweating]?” (11) At that point, my “skin is covered with perspiration, it exudes and becomes mottled, beaded and a blend of different colors[...].”  (12) I answered “Inspiration never comes without perspiration.”(13)
FRIGIDARIUM - 5°C
“I bathe with delight, to the point of drowning, in your eyes; I quiver, beneath the meaning”(14)
Note 05 - I did not take a cold bath yet.
An accident happened in the next room. A congestion. The slightly slanted corridor we find ourselves in is submerged with no doors to escape. A few people are standing before me, getting impatient. In the cold water, one man, head down, is standing in the water. From time to time, he bunny jumps. From here it seems to be putin.
EXFOLIATION - 24 °C
“The body goes as far as certain gates; the world prevails past the apertures of the skin. The five senses stop at these thresholds which it is now a question of going beyond. The Gates of Hell or Paradise?” (15)
