The Gorgon Agenda, by Lisa Shearin
Fast-paced adventure, supernatural and mythical creatures, and a side of humor
Lisa Shearin offers up another fast-paced supernatural adventure for Makenna Frasier and her SPI colleagues in The Gorgon Agenda, as they take on a seriously high-powered gorgon and a few old enemies. Seer and SPI agent Mac is as loyal, determined, compassionate, and dryly snarky as ever. I just love her and her “though she be but little, she is fierce” attitude. Her work partner, commando (and demigod) Ian, is adjusting well to the knowledge of his heritage. Her dragon shifter boss, Ms. Sagradraco, is more human than you’d think. And Rake, Mac’s high-powered hotelier fiance, remains my favorite goblin dark mage: suave, sexy, and dangerous, but utterly committed to Mac. My only complaint in the whole novel was that we didn’t see enough of him.
Shearin writes epic battle scenes and humorous banter with equal panache. The action is nearly nonstop, and cinematic in style and scale. The SPI Files series has been described as “Men in Black, but with supernatural elements,” but there’s definitely a bit of Avengers flavor in there as well, particularly in the large-scale battle scenes. For all the mayhem, danger, and potential-end-of-the-world suspense (and there is a lot), the books never lose track of the personal element, and Makenna’s often humorous first-person narration keeps things light enough to be fun instead of scary. In this case, that was a real challenge. With ancient gorgons, a draconic supervillain, and an almost-invincible weapon on the loose in New York City, there was plenty of scary to go around. Luckily, this wasn’t my first SPI Files rodeo, and I was confident things would work out in the end, but a few of the scenes still made me shudder.
As with every book in the SPI Files series, I had a hard time putting it down, even to go to sleep. The Gorgon Agenda ties up one story arc, but there are at least two or three other loose threads, so there’s still plenty of room for more sequels. Fingers crossed!

I know you're obsessed with me
Summary: As you and Ajax have another bitter fight where he tries to push the agenda you like him more than letting on while explaining to Xavier why he fights and pushes your buttons so often.
Word count: 1.3k
A/N: Enjoy the small update because for the next one i’m thinking over dramatic or overly sexual.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Wednesday characters nor do I claim to own them.
“You do everything in your power to avoid me, yet you still haven’t blocked my number." His voice was filled with snark and arrogance. He laughed as he heard you speak, you listened to him speak and immediately was filled with annoyance as you rolled your eyes at him and his thinking knowing even with the two of you disliking each other but never really seemed far apart of one another even if it was to simply annoy the other which always seemed to be enjoyed by the one causing it. Looking up at him with your arms crossed over your chest as you spoke.“And why would I ever block your number darling?” You said arrogantly “you couldn’t resist me if you tried and we both know it.” You said with a smirk "Yeah well, I like arguing with you. It's almost fun." You replied with an equally sarcastic tone.
Ajax chuckles, finding the whole situation entertaining then spoke up "I am pretty irresistible, aren't I?" He says with a smirk. The two of them were often like this, going back and forth to try to annoy the other. Even with how much they seemed to despise at each other, they always seemed to end up together somehow. Like the two of them had something special, something that had been there all along, yet neither of them seemed willing to admit it.
You rolled your eyes wondering how or when he got such an ego even when talking to you regardless of whatever it was you would say to him, he always seem to turn it around just to compliment himself even as he smirked it annoyed you. He always tried to act like he was so much better than you even as you thought that Ajax was known as an annoying prick around the school, with a huge ego to go along with it. He wasn't afraid to pick on people he saw as weak, and his specialty was getting under the skin of someone for months on end and making their lives miserable. But he wasn’t if only he could realize it. He always seemed to act so superior, his smartness always annoyed you to no ends but deep down you liked it, he was really annoying but you couldn’t stay away from him. “You aren’t that irresistible..”, You said slightly annoyed, deep down knowing it wasn’t true as you tried to turn your face away, even just looking at him made you feel something different than normal.
Ajax raised an eyebrow, not believing for a second that you didn't find him irresistible. Afterall, how could anyone not find a man like him the most attractive person alive? He found it quite amusing just how much you were trying, and failing, to deny your attraction towards him. It was like watching a child try to convince their parents not to buy them something they wanted, completely denying that they wanted it even though they were extremely obvious. You shook your head before giving him another look that just screamed are you fucking kidding?, You raised your middle finger towards the gorgon before smiling to yourself as you walked away for your class "let me know when your over yourself Ajax" knowing at some point or another you'd have to deal with him once more. Taking your seat and started drawing in your notebook waiting for class to start as you replayed the small spat you just left but rolled your eyes wondering how easily Ajax got under your skin especially when you could talk to every other guy at Nevermore with no issues what so ever.
Ajax watched you walk away from him, choosing to give you the silent treatment. He was so done with you being a hypocrite and denying how amazing he was. He knew that deep down, you were madly in love with him, and he could see what he figured was you pining over him every day, but he didn't want to waste time with someone who was in such denial, so he decided to ignore you, letting you come begging for his forgiveness, just like a person would with their lover. He sighed, sitting by himself at one of the many empty desks as Xavier walked into class before sitting down next to Ajax acting like nothing had happened, Glancing over at him having already heard about what happened since word moves quickly around Nevermore but chuckled as he leaned on the shared desk looking at Ajax with a raised brow "so everyone is already talking about you and Y/n...What happened this time?" He asked as his curiosity was peaked.
Ajax groans as he sits down for class. Having all of his peers looking at him and gossiping once again about him was exhausting. It seemed he had a habit of becoming the talk of the school at least three times every week, and that annoyed him more than he liked to admit. He turns towards Xavier, taking in a deep breath before answering. "Y/n and I had a little...disagreement. And now I've won. They know who the dominant one in our relationship is. There's no avoiding it. I'm better than them." Xavier slowly nodded his head in understanding even if he didn't know how this feud between you both happened or worked, shrugging his shoulders as he thought about Ajax’s words but figured it couldn't hurt to ask "do they know that? normally everyone thinks they win most of these little lover's arguments you both have".
Ajax crosses his arms, scoffing at the idea that you’ve ever won one of their arguments. He felt quite confident that he was always the one who was right in their petty rivalries, and the idea that any of them could have been in your favor annoyed him greatly. "Obviously their not going to admit that I've won. their pride would never let them. But deep down they knows they’ve been completely dominated. I've crushed them, and it's going to be a while before they forget just how much I've dominated this relationship." Xavier nodded along as he listened to his best friend but gave him a look as he started thinking, wondering to himself just how far this ran for the both of you or if it was even just an act "you keep saying you dominated them does that mean you guys are also hooking up? because that's one of the rumors i've heard going around" He spoke with a curious tone as he also tilted his head at the thought.
Ajax goes red, his face flaring up as he looks to the side, embarrassed. He hadn't expected that Xavier would go this far into the gossip, but he should have known his best friend would be keeping up with the latest on the gossip mill. He sighs, deciding that he might as well give a truthful answer, at least to get him off his back a bit. "Yeah...we've hooked up. A few times." Xavier felt his jaw drop at the sudden news that was just said to him before trying to cover his laughter, now starting to understand a little bit more about why you two fought so often but turned to face Ajax even as class started and lowered his voice as he acted like he was doing the work "good for you, but if you have then why are you still at each other's throats?".
Ajax shrugs, turning towards the lecture from their professor. He doesn't like being distracted from his studies by other student's gossip, but Xavier is an exception. He's fine talking to his best friend, even if the subject isn't one he's normally eager to share. Ajax sighs, leaning back as the professor continues. He can tell that Xavier is waiting for something, and he can understand why. So he makes his move, turning towards his best friend and speaking in a low voice so that no one else can hear.
"I think I love her."

hoiya! can u explain the plot of the anime soul eater please :3
It's basically a spooky horror-action anime, and a pretty good one imo.
The story starts with a young kid named Maka Albarn, who knows nothing about soul eater but has heard a rumor that it involves becoming a soul eater partner (a type of non-human partner for a soul eater, a sort of monster fighter) with one's crush. Her crush at the time is called Death the Kid, and so Maka decides to offer herself to him as his soul eater partner.
Her plan works.
Well, sort of. Death the Kid doesn't want to be a soul eater at all, but Maka is way too happy about becoming a soul eater partner, and tries to trick him into fighting some monsters with her. This, understandably, freaks him out, and so he runs away and Maka runs after him, being really into this whole soul eater gig.
Meanwhile, there is a top-ranked soul eater named Crona Gorgon who has gone through some shit. Crona was originally the twin brother of a guy named Jean, but his soul (basically his mind) got lost, and so his soul got put into Jean's body instead. However, Crona's soul is still floating around the world. Crona's goal is to find and reunite with his brother, but a lot of people in the soul eater world look for souls to put in themselves, and now Crona is being pursued by evil soul eaters and the like. So Crona, whose soul is inhabiting a "head" and is named Rob, is like "maybe i should have a soul eater partner and see if they can protect me." He meets Death the Kid, gets impressed by his badass sword, and asks to be his soul eater partner instead of Maka. The rest of the plot is essentially about their fight against evil soul eaters, robots, etc. while they figure out what the hell is going on with them and Crona's situation.
This all takes place at Death Weiss, a school for soul eaters. The villain of the show, a guy named Death the Kid's dad, is named Lord Death and has, at the start of the show, taken over and militarized Death Weiss. There's a whole evil agenda and this and that but that's the core of it.

Hello! I am also shocked by this chapter. But I remember that Garu liked to win in battle. He did not want everyone around him to simply die from the sight of him, as if he were the Medusa Gorgon. Garou wanted to become fear or terror. But who will be afraid of him if everyone is unconscious? Therefore, I think that GOD controls everything, and Garu restrains him as much as possible so that everyone does not die for real. The radiation in their world can be cured by transferring the power of Blast or Saitama to other people. How Fubuki healed the Master. As for Genos, I'm afraid he's not what we think he is. But this is my opinion. It may be wrong, but Genos won't die because he doesn't and never had a human brain. This was suggested to him by Dr. Kuseno. For the cyborg to stop being cruel. It's anonymous, but I need a witness to confirm my hunch if it turns out to be correct.
Ooh, you have lots of thoughts in there, so let's see if I can address them.
Garou did want to win as the symbol of fear/terror, to scare everyone into uniting against him and solve the world's problems of injustice. (Trying to achieve it with the faster/preemptive/roundabout 'two birds with one stone' approach.) So yes that requires humanity to be ALIVE for them to 'be scared' of him and evolve into the better. So eliminating all life/humanity by literally killing everyone is precisely god's hostile agenda, not Garou's.
"Garou restrains (god) as much as possible so that everyone does not die for real." Which is a nice thought. :') Unfortunately the hostile god isn't as merciful or humane as the real Garou, who's always managed to hold back vs humans on purpose. (As in: he can't hold back or simply fake 'scare' the radiation damage now though.) Garou's 'resistance' was shown when he refused the offer, but endured an incomplete (forced) transfer anyway, enough to retain some of his lingering consciousness. However, as Blast said, his mind is still a warped fusion under the influence. The most we can still see of 'Garou' in there, is during those moments where he stops and visibly pauses when people ask him things or personally call out to him. Before processing a mental beat and then denying/twisting his words around into something else. Whether that's god's control/corruption at work actively blocking or spiraling Garou's last remaining awareness/humanity away into the void is one thing, or whether that's a sign of Garou still mentally struggling against him - or desperately trying to adhere to his usual script while blinded from reality, is another. Either way there's definitely two opposing forces at work (god's influence vs Garou's mind) struggling for control/balance, making his current mental state highly unstable. I think the really cruel thing is when the 'Garou' in there still thinks he's playing along 'scary' and in control as usual, without knowing how much the angry/hostile god in there is fully intent on (using him as an avatar) to enact divine wrath for real. Whether the real Garou in there can still hold back at all or make his actions seem much worse/brutal than they are, remains to be seen.
"The radiation can be cured by transferring the power of Blast or Saitama to other people. Like how Fubuki healed Tank Top Master." Now there's a thought! It's not the first time I've seen people bring up the idea that Saitama might sacrifice his power in exchange to save Genos + everyone. (It sounds like a very Murata-esque idea.) But I also feel like....to actually heal, instead of just transferred power/energy, it would need....actual cell reconstruction or something like some of Zombieman's power maybe too. (That is, if we're not doing a whole timeloop undo with Blast's warp powers.) But also when you mention sacrificing power.....what about from Garou himself once he fully realizes? :O If he can truly copy/absorb powers around into his own, what's stopping him from reversing god's powers against him too, from destruction into a different miracle. (He could even learn it from watching Fubuki too.) Esp if he truly feels the crushing weight/guilt/remorse and finally realizes how he can directly save the world at will. To me, narratively he'd be the most fit for this role in his arc's climax.
"Genos won't die because he doesn't and never had a human brain." Ah wait wait waitwaittttt, no - Genos is a cyborg precisely because he has a human brain. Otherwise he'd be fully robotic, which he's not. But beyond his power core, his body could have other life support functions we don't know of. Whether he's actually dead (meaning, his brain getting destroyed) or whether it was a huge scare made to look like he's dead (to piss off or break Saitama - which is what god wants) well....we still need those answers. How Genos can recover too - his body can be fixed, but his brain.....that's a different problem. He could end up with permanent damage/amnesia if things aren't simply just 'undone' the easy way thru timefuckery or something. So...yeah. :')
#opm#garou#genos#manga spoilers#omurasaki#replies#speculation#fandom grief#whew there was a lot to cover here#but yeah genos is no robot

WELCOME TO DUMB FUCK DISCOURSE OLYMPICS
TODAY, THE ANCIENT GREEKS OUT THERE ARE BEING OPPRESSED BY SA SURVIVORS
So using the gorgon or interpreting an ancient story in a different way then it's intended is misguided. Mid take at best BUT IT GETS WORSE
"modern Western Agenda" God, the west really white washed ancient Greece, that place often considered to be the fuckin unhhhhhhjh let me check my notes here oh yeah cradle of WESTERN FUCKING CIVILIZATIONNNNNN
"pro-rome propaganda" OH GOD NO I HOPE CAESAR DOESN'T GET MORE SUPPORT!!!!! WHAT IF THE ANCIENT FUCKING ROMANS TRICK US INTO UHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNGGGGGGG KILL ME
Then an actual Greek person from Greece was like "actually modern Greek culture is a completely separate entity from ancient Greece and so pretending there's still a strong ancient Greek culture is dumb and getting mad at it is too" and then a 14 year old American kpop Stan was like "WRONG"
Ok ok ok but maybe I'm on the wrong side of history here! Maybe we shouldn't appropriate things from ancient Greek culture especially if we aren't Greek let's see what OPs account has to say about it
I MEAN I DOUBT THE FUCKER WAS RAISED WORSHIPPING THE GREEK FUCKIN GODS. SO THEY ADOPTED A CULTURE THAT WASNT THEIR OWN!!!!! OUT OF NOWHERE! FOR REALLY NO REASON!!!! GIRLIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE CULTURAL APPROPRIATION STORE

Wednesday the series ( w spoilers )
So I just finished the first season of Wednesday - very highly recommend, loved it! Enough hints and predictability, enough surprises. Fun plot w both drama and relationships. Wednesday's strength is also her weakness. Love it.
The one thing I do have to question however is the romances.
I am very...unsure...about the fact that the subtle message all the romances seem to say is 'Date Your Own Kind'.
SPOILERS
SPOILERS
SPOILERS
The one normie-outcast marriage is a tragedy. The Sherif may have loved his wife but he won't even mention her now, is terrified both of his son and about him.
The normie-outcast dating? Enid tries going out w the normie to the dance. They seem to like each other. Then - nope, it could never work, he lets peer pressure get in the way.
Wed and Tyler? The normie-outcast relationship for most of the series? Nope. She would have been better off trusting Xavier, someone like her.
What about friendships?
Mayor and Principal Weems? Seem to use each other more than be friends.
Tyler, as the token normie friendly w the outcasts, has a secret agenda.
Not a good idea crossing boundaries there.
The Sherriff, supposedly friendly w Wednesday by the end? Was lying the whole time. Didn't care about her or the school or even justice ( e.g. Xavier ) one bit.
The one normie teacher who was meant to foster better relations? Well, huge secret agenda, would have been way better if she had never been hired. Doubt anyone will be More tolerant bc of her.
There are only two exceptions in the show that aren't utter disasters
The only one who really makes friends outside of her group is Enid. Enid befriends Wed, dates a Gorgon. Except...Enid makes very clear that she isn't Welcome in her own group. That if she doesn't wolf out, and she doesn't for most of the show, she won't be accepted by her own pack or able to date a wolf. She has no choice but to seek those connections outside.
The second exception is Bianca and the mayor's son. Who seem to like each other and be left on a hopeful note...but that romantic relationship succeeding brings up a similar point - it says a lot if an interracial relationship doesn't work out ( Xavier and Bianca ) but the main two Black characters on the show immediately get together after laying eyes on each other. Kinda raises the subtle 'stay in your own lane' message.
And I am not saying that it's deliberate on the writers part. And hopefully season two will introduce more normie characters and characters of color that would break that trend. But for now, it's rather glaringly obvious that ' you should trust those and only those like you' was the message they ended up with.

please do talk about gorgons. am now curious
I would love to talk about gorgons but just remember you asked for this
So like, gorgons are pretty popular in media that surrounds monsters but they don't make any damn sense as a "this is an entire race of monsters" thing, completely ignoring the petrification thing bc that's like handwavey magic and I'm much more interested in the fact snakes are growing out of their heads
First of all the biggest issues is all about, how connected exactly are the snakes and the person? Are they both cold blooded bc of the snakes? Are they warm blooded bc it's implied the person is more or less human? (sometimes with green skin but that's lazy and also smth I'll get to in a minute)
The council agreed the snakes are like a parasite, but not a harmful one? Like more ramoras on sharks that leeches on fish yknow
Another thing, how exactly does the snake imbedded in the skull work? Like is the snake spine connected the skull?
There's also the idea that snakes could have tails as like half of the hair mass (we were specifically talking about rattle snakes) which is also very interesting
And like, people are real lazy with gorgons, why are the snakes always like vague green snake there like thousands of snakes to pick from (some ideas I had were twins with king and coral snakes, goth with black mambas, and person with sand vipers who has to wear goggles and lay in sand more than they'd like)
If the snakes are disconnected (as much as smth that grows out of your head can be disconnected) do they die if the person dies? Can they just slither away? Can the snakes feel pain? Would "haircuts" not exist (yes bc even if the snakes are like hydras and can't feel pain that's really fucked up) I also like to imagine people taking after their snakes (slit pupils, the same kind of fangs, people who have corba's having slight hoods on their neck) bc it's fun
Also just the world building of it all, some examples we thought of like people with constrictors always having a backpack on and the snakes just peak their heads out bc them bitches heavy, people wearing beanies in winter with the snakes curled up inside, people probably having like a stick right by their pillow for the snakes to sleep on or probably a heat lamp, someone brushing their teeth and with the other hand they're brushing the snakes with like those little brushes they use to clean reptiles, are the snakes like babies and steal the calcium from your bones and therefore gorgons as a species have a higher likely hood of bone disease/pain as they get older, that kind of thing
They biologically don't make a lot of sense, but they are sick as fuck and I love snakes

So, lately I've been finding myself feeling... annoyed with very modern reimaginings of Greek myths being presented as like the "secretly TRUE versions of the myths before they were warped by the patriarchy."
Like, I don't really have an issue with #GirlBoss Persephone retellings (even if I find them a bit tired because they so often have to rely on villifying Demeter to do so.) But to act like that very modern interpretation of the character and story has any basis in the classical sources is just untrue, and it is frustrating because it refuses to engage with the difficult or uncomfortable aspects of stories that are 3000 years old. It refuses to engage with the cultural differences and history of these stories that still find ways to speak to us today. Instead it just seeks to sanitize and erase the bits that don't fit into our modern sensibilities.
But the one that *really* gets me is Medusa. Because as modern audiences, the idea that Medusa being turned into a monster was *punishment* by Athena for being *raped* by Poseidon is really upsetting. And I've seen people legitimately try to say that *actually* Athena would never do that. Athena was actually *protecting* Medusa by making her a monster so that she wouldn't be assaulted again. #feminism
But HERES THE THING- the entire idea that Medusa was transformed by Athena after being raped? COMES FROM FUCKING OVID.
(Ovid is a Roman writer who HEAVILY REIMAGINED the Greek myths in Metamorphoses because he was working with a Roman world view and political agenda.)
All EARLIER classical (and actually Greek) sources have Medusa being *born a Gorgon.* (whether the Gordons as a rule are beautiful or monsterous varies, and Hesoid does mention in the Theogny that Poseidon and Medusa had a thing, but he doesn't describe it as rape. But that they "lay in a meadow of soft flowers", and theres no description of her being transformed because of this.)
So like.
No.
no.
Obviously, the idea that there is some "true" Canon Orthodox version of these myths just...isn't true. That's just not how that worked.
But no. There is no classical support for any of that.
Thanks.

Scarred: Part 1
Seriously Miu, it’s not a problem. Trust me.
Miu: Oh, and how do YOU know that!? What if everyone laughs at me!? What if they think I’m hideous.
It’s honestly amazing that you’re worried about it this much. The Miu I know has self-confidence in spades, especially when it comes to her body.
What are you guys doing?
Oh, we all agreed to go and meet up at the lake today and play around together. I just got finished changing late.
But...Miu’s worried about coming out in her bikini.
Miu Iruma? Worried about flaunting her body in a tight bikini?
I know, right? That’s what I was worried about...But I also understand why...
How many people know about it?
Miu: Keebo’s seen it...Shuichi knows about it...I think Gonta might too...
You’ll be fine...I promise. It’s just me and Kuripa here and we won’t judge.
Unless you grew a second belly button or something.
...!
*Kaede nudges him.
What? That’s not natural no matter how you conceive it.
You aren’t helping!
Miu: Ok...Fine, I’m coming out...
*Miu leaves her room.
W-Well?
...Well what?
Uh...
You...want a compliment? Or something?
You’re...not bothered?
By what?
This shit!
*Miu points at all her burn scars.
Oh that! Didn’t really notice.
You didn’t?
Who cares? Everyone’s got ‘em.
So unless you got those from doing battle with Gorgon the Destroyer, I have no reason to care.
For some reason I feel kinda offended.
Look, point is, no one should have any reason to care.
And if anyone starts on you, just let me know. I’ll knock their lights out.
See? Nothing to worry about.
Hm...I guess...Hehe...
Yeah! I knew it! Haha! Even burnt food can be delicious, so what makes my bod any different?
That’s more like it.
Anyway, why aren’t you wearing a swimsuit Kurafto?
I’m not coming.
Why not?
Don’t wanna.
Nope! That’s not gonna fly! At least come and supervise us supervisor.
What!? Hey, lemme go-!
*Before he can protest, Kaede and Miu drag Kuripa out of the lodgings and through the forest to the lake.
I hope you both know I could pick you both up and carry you back without breaking a sweat, right?
Yeah, but you won’t.
Try me bitch.
*Despite his complaints, Kuripa goes along with it for the sake of being nice.
Hey guys! We’re here.
Nyeh! Finally! What kept you?
I took a while to change. And Miu was a bit worried about coming out.
Huh? Why-
Oh...right...
*Tenko cuts herself off as she notices Miu’s bodily scars.
Ah. Those from Miu’s car accident, yes?
Most of ‘em are gone, but they were pretty deep. Do I...look bad?
Not at all! In fact, you look pretty damn metal!
...?
N-Not you Keebo...
Psh! What’s with the floaty? I’d hardly call that a swimsuit.
For your information, I need this to stay afloat in the water. I’m wearing it out of necessity, not style.
I have inner tubes and rafts available for you two as well if you would like them. Ryoma and Shuichi are using them right now, but I’m sure they’ll give you a turn.
Did someone mention my name?
There’s the man of the hour. Hmhm...
Ah-!? Hey-!
*Kuripa grabs Kaede by the shoulders and pushes her towards him.
Well? What do you think?
Ah...um...
Jeez...!
*Kaede smacks Kuripa, who smarmily backs away.
Don’t listen to him Shuichi. Just say it looks great and don’t make a big production out of it.
Y-Yeah. It looks great. Blue’s a good color on you.
Hehehe. You look fine yourself. Very neat and tidy.
Yeah...thanks...
Wow...way to make us all feel single...
You really need to learn some common decency.
Oh...sorry...
I was talking to Miu, not you.
Hey!
Alright, forget that! What’s on the agenda for today?
We’ve got water volleyball set up early. If you wanna go for a swim, that’s fine an’ all, but you should totally join our game later.
We were going to sort out teams as well. Kaede, could you be on a team with me, and Kaito?
Of course! Not to brag, but I was a pretty mean volleyball player in middle school!
Sure pal. Whatever you say.
Nyeeh!
*Himiko, after dipping her head under the water, surfaces and beams.
The water’s so clear!
Hrrggh...
*Tenko shudders, unable to take in how pretty she is.
Zzzz...
Here. This is the one you like, right?
Bitchin’! Thanks dude!
*Kuripa, under the shade of a parasol, takes a nap on top of a towel. Keebo hands Miu a cold slushy.
There’s no sand or sun, but with the way this looks, you’d think we were at the beach.
This is the good life, I’ll tell ya.
Hey guys.
*Himiko and Tenko go up to them. She indicates to the sleeping Kuripa.
You thinking what I’m thinking?
What’s that?
Well, this might not be the beach, but we’ve got a lot of gravel and dirt around here. Think we could make ourselves a sand sculpture?
*Miu stands up.
We’re in.
Gah! Dammit!
Hah. Better luck next time.
*In the game of volleyball, Team Kaito, Shuichi and Kaede get absolutely wrecked by Team Kirumi and Ryoma.
We really need to rework these teams to be a little more fair.
Fair? There’s two of us and three of you.
Yeah, but with how skilled you both are, we might as well have been playing against three or four!
Look, just be lucky you weren’t playing against Gonta.
That would be pretty challenging. Hey, maybe we can get Kuripa to be on our team in that case?
Hm...I’m not sure about our chances against Kurafto-san.
Yeah, he’s definitely scary.
Really? I think he’s pretty cute when he’s sleeping.
When he wakes up, I’m gonna make him join our team.
...
*Meanwhile, Maki decides to dive under the water.
...!
...?
...!
...?
*Gonta, who is also diving, waves his hand to call her over. Maki notices and swims over to him.
...
*Gonta points to some pond froth, with a mother frog next to her baby tadpoles.
...
*Maki can’t hold back a smile in the face of Gonta’s innocent excitement.
[1 hour later...]
Zzzz...
Hm?
*Kuripa eventually stirs awake from his nap, and opens his eyes to see all the kids surrounding him.
Crap! He’s awake.
Morning~
Did you have a nice nap Kuripa-nii?
Alright, what did you guys do?
Take a look.
Huh?
*Kuripa looks down to see that the gang have buried him in dirt and sand, having shaped it to look like a mermaid sitting on a seashell.
Hm...How about that.
Voila!
Kurafto look very pretty.
Snrk...pfpfpf...
*snooooooooortt*
*Kirumi tries to stifle her laughter. As does Tenko, but she fails horribly.
You like it?
Hm...yeah...it’s pretty great...
for a bunch of DAMN KIDS!
*BOOOOM!*
RUN!
*Everyone scarpers with Shuichi’s shout.
GET BACK HERE YOU BRATS! I’m gonna put you all in the obituary section!
*Kuripa bursts out of the ground and chases the group, all who try to run away from him. However, he runs out of breath very quickly.
*pant!* *pant!* I’ll bet you guys think you’re REAL funny.
Bitch, we’re hilarious.
*sigh* Like hell you are...
What’s the point of hanging around if you’re not even gonna play around with us?
I wouldn’t have come if those two hadn’t dragged me along. I’m here to work, not play.
Since when have you ever taken your work seriously?
Look, I just have a lot on my mind after the day before. Can I not just rest? I don’t even have a swimsuit on me.
Then why don’t you swim in your underwear?
Fuck THAT! Not when I’m with you! You’re like...12!?
I’m 16! Come on, just give in to peer pressure!
Get your hands off me!
*Himiko grabs Kuripa’s shirt and sweater vest. Kaito also grasps it.
Come on! Just have some fun with us!
Uh, guys? I don’t think you should be doing that...
What’s gotten into you today!?
We wanna have fun with you Kuripa-nii!
*They successfully get Kuripa shirt off.
There you go-
!!?
!!?
*As soon as they see him however, they both freeze.
GIVE THAT FUCKING BACK! RIGHT NOW!
S-SURE! Sorry!
!!?
!!?
!!?
!!?
!!?
!!?
!!?
!!?
!!?
*Kuripa’s body is riddled with burns, scars, cuts and bruises, and his skin is a dark shade from physical trauma. He snatches his clothes back from Kaito, and gives him a disturbing look.
You really are just a bunch of degenerate brats, you know that? See if I ever do you any more favours.
Sorry man...W-We got carried away...
Sorry...We’re really sorry.
Hmph...
*He puts his clothes back on.
There are some things that just aren’t ok, ok?
*With nothing more to say, Kuripa leaves.
What...was that about?
Those were no car accident wounds...
I feel like we just saw something that we weren’t meant to see...

That demon au braced fangirl came up with. Got some ideas for it.
Kai and Nya are the classic demons commonly portrayed in Pop culture
Ya know the think the horns and little spade tails.
Ray and Maya were completely different types of demons. Ray was an incubus with powerful fire abilities while Maya was a sea demon (basically sirens).
Kai being an incubus with big dramatic horns and wings. As a result of said incubus heritage he’s very physical in giving hugs and stuff.
Kai is the best hugger change my mind.
Nya has pretty much the same form of Kai except she has gills and the ability to grow a fish tail. Not to mention her numerous shark like teeth present in both her demonic forms.
As soon as Kai, Nya, and Lloyd are let loose they decide to go free their friends and significant others. (After they feed Lloyd of course and make proper disguises.)
Their first stop is finding Zane and Pixal.
Zane and Pixal were sealed away as Ice statues who when frozen were holding each other’s hand.
Zane is an Ice demon and Pixal is a Yuki-Onna they were sealed within the deep ice caverns surrounding Jamankai village.
Zane and Pixal were once worshipped as gods and had a small cult before they were sealed away together underneath their old shrine.
Said cult was really into ritual human sacrifices and Pixal was once a sacrifice they managed to capture. Sadly ya boi Cyrus didn’t survive.
Lucky for her Zane liked her and she was as result transformed into a Yuki Onna.
Next people on the agenda are finding Cole and Skylor.
They were buried in the sea of sands together.
They’re platonic tombmates stuck in a pyramid. (Think the Egyptian kind)
Cole is a gorgon essentially with a strong control over the earth.
Skylor is a naga with the handy ability to get a set of legs when needed. She and Kai were courting each other before they were sealed away.
Jay is a storm demon capable of summoning some of the strongest storms Ninjago had ever seen.
He was the last to be sealed away due to his constant traveling chasing and creating natural disasters.
Jay being a bug demon who was raised by humans before puberty came in and made him the buggy boi he is.
Just having big antennae and dragonfly wings to match making him look like a mischievous fae.
Go off why don't you?

I need to catch up on X-Men stuff. I love Tempo from as far back as X-Force #1 in the 90's
I'm probably gonna do a 'here's what you missed on Glee' post about the current state of X-Men stuff for people wanting to catch up or jump on at the House of X/Krakoa soft reboot point, but while there's plenty of good and bad about the current era, I do love the sheer creativity of it all, and like, the raised profiles of soooooo many minor or underrated X-characters from eras past.
What with the whole, y'know, mass resurrection of every mutant character to ever live, literally.
Like, communal living is a big thing on Krakoa and basically any and all 'squads' of mutants, both hero and villain alike, have their own group housing in the Akademos Habitat. The New Mutants all live together in this house called the Sextant, the Academy X kids all have their own place, the classic Hellions have their own place, same with the Gen-X kids, the Acolytes, etc. And the whole MLF live together in Omega House, and so we've seen Heather pretty regularly in the background around there like in stories featuring Wildside and other MLFers (even Thumbelina got a shout-out in SWORD, lmao) and also she's popped up in a few previous SWORD and Marauders issues, as well as being the source of Krakoa's famed whiskey exports, as apparently her time powers aging whiskey and wines to perfection in just a few hours is the secret ingredient behind the 'Port Genosha' vintages, lmao.
But anyway, Heather's part of the new Marauders cast going forward, and they're the book dedicated to mutant rescue and relief efforts.
The new lineup is Kitty (Kate) Pryde as captain and a member of the Quiet Council (Krakoa's ruling council of twelve), and previously the Red Queen of Hellfire, which is like, the economic cornerstone of the Krakoan nation. Up until recently, Kate, Emma and Sebastian all had seats on the Quiet Council and occupied the Red, White and Black thrones of Hellfire, but they gave up their Hellfire seats to focus just on their Council positions, so while Hellfire is expected to play a role in the new Marauders book too, since technically the Marauders are like the official agents of Hellfire's agendas, now the Black Queen is Lourdes Chantel (Sebastian Shaw's old teleporting girlfriend who famously died in the first attack of Sentinels back in the 80s but is now back), the five Stepford Cuckoos all share the White Queen's responsibilities and throne, and Emma's older brother Christian Frost is the new Red Monarch.
Co-leader of the Marauders with Kate is Bishop, who is 'Captain Commander' of Krakoa's forces during war-time, like basically Krakoa has four 'War Captains' who assume leadership positions whenever Krakoa's attacked or invaded, with the Captain Commander being like, the Captain of Captains. The other three Captains with him were at first Cyclops (who was initially the Captain Commander but gave his spot to Bishop recently to focus more on his responsibilities with the X-men), and Magik and Gorgon (the former head of Hydra - yes, mouthing wtf here is valid - but then he died in Otherworld during the X of Swords story event, and he came back different when they resurrected him because dying in Otherworld fucks with your soul and personality).
So Kwannon was named the fourth Captain in his stead. (Kwannon of course being the original Revanche, who got body-swapped with Betsy decades ago. They swapped back so now Betsy is in her original body and going by Captain Britain, and Kwannon is back in her body and using the Psylocke moniker).
Anyway, Kwannon is ALSO on the new Marauders with Bishop, which is kinda interesting that they put two War Captains on the same crew, but I mean, I love them both so not like I care.
And then rounding out the rest of the new crew now that Iceman, Pyro and Storm have all left, is Tempo, Akihiro (Logan's son), Aurora and new character Somnus, with dream manipulation powers.
Look at them, they look so good after kicking Brimstone Love's ass, I'm so proud of them. Sniff.
There's also supposed to be another member joining the team like two issues in, with it not stated yet for sure who it is, but all signs point to the final member of the cast being recently resurrected John Proudstar, the original Thunderbird.
