Close encounter by Tony Wu

This is a portrait of Scar, an unusually friendly sperm whale. His forehead appears enormous, and is. A sperm whale’s head, at nearly a third of its body length, contains both the world’s largest brain and the spermaceti organ, a huge waxy liquid-filled cavity that can function either as a buoyancy control device for deep dives in search of squid and fish or as part of its sonar-like echolocation system – or both.

Kinko Bay, Kagoshima prefecture, Japan

This giant sea star is doing its reproductive dance amid a cloud of sperm and eggs. Mr. Wu, who had only a macro lens for small subjects, had to back up carefully to get the undulating creature into his field of view. The result looks like a giant alien gyrating in its own galaxy.

Historical Background for 《无名》 (Hidden Blade)

A very brief summary of historical details of note for understanding the context of the film:

The film is set during the Second Sino-Japanese War and WWII. There are several powers in play at this time: the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese Nationalist Party or Kuomintang, and Imperial Japan. Imperial Japan invaded Manchuria (located in northeastern China) in the early 1930s and established the puppet state of Manchukuo. It was here where they hoped to establish a base from where they would continue their expansion into Asia.

In 1937, after many years of conflict, Japan occupied Shanghai, Nanjing, and Beijing. The Nanjing Massacre occurred at this time. After the fall of Nanjing, which had been the capital of the Republic of China at that time, the Kuomintang moved the capital west to Chongqing, under Jiang Jieshi's leadership. During this time, the Chinese Communist Party and the Kuomintang formed a temporary alliance, suspending the years of civil conflict between them, although their vie for power continued. The Chinese Communist Party set up their base in Yan'an.

In 1940, Wang Jingwei, who was once a member of the Kuomintang but had always been in opposition against Jiang Jieshi, collaborated with Japan to establish the Wang Jingwei regime. They claimed to be the leadership of the Republic of China, when in fact they were a puppet government of Japan, overseeing the Japanese-occupied territory in eastern China, under Japan's control. They established their capital in Nanjing and used the Kuomintang flag. The Axis powers recognized the Wang Jingwei regime, while the Allied powers still recognized Jiang Jieshi as the leader of the Republic of China.

From 1937-1941, Japan had left a few neighbourhoods in Shanghai unoccupied, because that was where the American-British joint settlement and French Concession were located. Many people fled to this area to live at that time. After Pearl Harbor in 1941, the entirety of Shanghai became occupied by Japan. Many cities were bombed during these years, including Guangzhou, which experienced bombings for 14 months in 1937-1938.

During this era of war, which is also called the War of Resistance in China, espionage networks were established to try to undermine the enemy. Hidden Blade tells a story about these individuals.

Characters in the film (spoiler-free):

Director He (Tony Leung): Director of the Political Security Department for the Wang Jingwei regime

Mr. Ye (Wang Yibo): A subordinate under Director He, works for the Political Security Department of the Wang Jingwei regime

Captain Wang (Wang Chuanjun): A captain working for the Political Security Department of the Wang Jingwei regime, under Director He

Minister Tang (Da Peng): Minister of the Political Security Department of the Wang Jingwei regime, Director He's cousin

Officer Watanabe (Mori Hiroyuki): Head of secret service in Shanghai, claiming to be a follower of Ishiwara's faction (Japanese general who believed in the Pan-Asianism ideology)

Mr. Zhang (Huang Lei): A secretary of the Chinese Communist Party's underground network

Ms. Chen (Zhou Xun): A messenger of the Chinese Communist Party's underground network

Ms. Jiang (Jiang Shuying): Kuomintang agent assigned to assassinate Minister Tang

Ms. Fang (Zhang Jingyi): Disguised as a dancer, she worked together with other progressive youth to try to assassinate Japanese officers

Excerpt from a fic I'll probably never write:

(From the DMBJ end this takes place in a sort of mixed 'verse that's mostly book, but Zhang Rishan is still around, because it's fun to bother him.)

(The premise would be that an ancient artifact in the Smithonian starts acting up. By the combined efforts of Dr Strange and the leading historians of the museum they work out that this thing is likely a piece of a set of four, and might be stopped from taking out the museum and half of Wasington with it if reunited with the other pieces. Problem is, no one has any idea where to find these pieces beyond 'somewhere in China' which, let's be real, is kind of a broad scope.)

****

This was the kind of situation where someone knowing a guy who knew a guy would have helped a lot, but since he cut ties with the SHIELD a lot of these connections went up in smoke and, regrettably, Steve Rogers did not know a guy.

He did not, but, as it turned out, Doctor Strange did. Not only did he know a guy, he knew an entire clan of once-powerful mystics who doubled as professional graverobbers and had connections all over the Chinese antiques mafia.

Phone calls were made, plans were discussed, and by the time Steve, a handful of ex-Avengers and some new faces he managed to round up landed in Beijing the Zhang clan was waiting for them with people and equipment ready to go, and the probable location of the three missing pieces all worked out.

Used as he was to taking the lead, Steve was both appreciative of and, honestly, quite nervous about having been swept up in the flow like this, but since the matter was extremely time-sensitive he was ready to swallow his pride and follow along.

As it turned out, not everyone on his team felt the same way.

About two hours into packing and organising people into teams (three teams for the three tombs with three graverobbers for team leaders) Steve was approached by Doctor Strange's main contact, a man called Zhang Rishan.

Director Zhang did not look happy.

'Tell me Captain, your friend, Mr Stark - would you say his behaviour today is typical?'

Steve stifled a groan, opting for a deep sigh instead.

'No, I'm afraid usually he's much worse.'

Director Zhang nodded.

'That settles it then. He's going with the Iron Triangle.'

Steve followed his gaze all the way to the other end of the hangar, to a white minivan and the three people around it. If Steve had to sum up his first impression he would have described them as a middle-aged substitute teacher, a slightly older guy who was as round as he was loud and some twenty-something prettyboy who never quite grew out of his emo phase. He sighed and tuned back to Director Zhang.

'I take it you don't like this 'Iron Triangle' very much?'

Director Zhang opened his arms in an elegant shrug.

'Let me put it this way: there is some lingering tension due to conflicting loyalties and... certain past events, but I have no personal problem with any one of them. I'm certainly not trying to punish them by foisting your friend on them. No, out of all three team leaders Wu Xie is best qualified to deal with him.'

'How so?'

'Because I don't want to work with him and judging by his performance today he'd just waste Xie Yuchen's time and energy by trying to engage him in a power struggle the whole way. Wu Xie has the air of a harmless nobody even if he's anything but, so he's unlikely to provoke your friend's ego by merely existing. Besides, his greatest strength is how well he gets along with even the most difficult people. Give him enough time and he will befriend a stone statue.'

Steve sniggered and shook his head.

'Oh good! I just hope this friendly energy keeps up when Stark tries to steamroll over him.'

'That will not be a problem' said Director Zhang 'Wu Xie himself may not be naturally confrontational and might let him get his way, but the Iron Triangle is three people for a reason.'

He turned towards the trio in the far end of the hangar, nodding at the boy in black.

'I haven't worked with Zhang Qiling since the sixties, but unless he'd become a fundamentally different person since, I can tell you exactly how any disagreement will go. Mr Stark will have his opinion, Wu Xie will try to reason will him, Zhang Qiling will listen to them for about one and a half minutes and then take whatever action HE thinks is best.'

This time Steve didn't hold back a snigger. Stark was going to have and interesting week.

Transformers: Mosaic #389 - "One Step Ahead"

wada sez: As many commenters would put it, this strip is “logic vs logic”; Shockwave and Prowl were both defined by their rational thinking in Budiansky’s original profiles for the characters, with their appearances in the Marvel comics popularising those personalities. Prowl is definitely based on his Universe toy, and I think the same is true of Cosmos and Beachcomber, if Cosmos’ curved shoulders are anything to go by. Anyone know if that shuttle’s based on anything?

Decided to write a little something for @anonoite three weeks ago and I figured I should post it just so I can get some validation.

Will I continue it? Maybe.

Will I learn to write porn better? Nah.

Anyways, Peter's head always seems to be running and Tony puts the usual solution to it.

I also should be uploading more works here but shh you didnt hear it from me.

For a person whose brain usually went a mile a minute, Tony knew the importance of thinking about nothing. It was the basis of most meditation theories as well as the building block of sleep, just thinking about nothing would usually help someone sleep a lot better compared to someone thinking of what they will be doing tomorrow.

Tony used to achieve that through alcohol, sex and parties–found it a little easier to find this nothingness with sleep and more alcohol now that his age has caught up with him. However, what good was he if he were not to impart some knowledge to the next generation?

Sure, he could use that as an excuse as to why he was pushing deep inside a squirming Peter Parker.

“You with me, kid?”

Peter just nods, eyes hiding behind his arm as his legs shake when a small bulge shows just right under his lower abdomen, a signal for Tony to think about whatever will keep him from cumming and to stop pushing inside.

Alcohol didn’t work for his apprentice and the last thing Tony wanted was for Peter to be seen, let alone be touched, by the people that made up the cesspool that was the 1%. One tragic death, miraculous fix up, and hasty confession later, Tony figured out just the right thing to stop Peter’s mind from going off a mile a minute.

Something that seemed to turn Peter into putty in his hands every time they ended up in Tony’s bed.

“Tony–”

The teen can’t help but whine when he notices that Tony isn’t moving, still hiding behind his arms but clearly stating his needs by moving his hips upwards to get just a tiny bit more inside him.

��You’re going to hurt yourself.” Tony leans down and breathes into his ear but is met by a pair of arms bringing his mouth to rest on the younger man’s shoulders.

“Move, please move, I can’t–please–!”

He didn’t know what had set the kid off, what had pushed Peter to grab onto Tony’s belt loops and pull him into a kiss while half-carrying him to his room, only thing Tony knew was that Peter didn’t want to think about it–and that he could not achieve that on his own.

So he started to move.

Teeth bit down on Peter’s skin as the boy’s legs immediately try to wrap around him but are stopped by the man’s arms pushing them down and taking advantage of his apprentice’s inhuman flexibility to pin them down on the bed and force Peter’s hips up so that he could do little but just wrap his arms around his mentor and cry out whenever the tip of Tony’s cock brushed against the spot that stopped his neurons from firing.

It helps, clearly, with the way Peter was babbling things about feeling good and his thighs shaking on Tony’s arms whenever the older man pushes deep inside and stays there, not moving but instead circling his hips so that the little bulge pushing against Peter’s abdomen would push some more pre-cum out of his slit. The position didn’t change until Tony’s arms go numb, Peter groaning when Tony’s hips slow their pace but immediately biting his bottom lip to keep him from moaning out loud when Tony pulls him up onto his lap–and bottoming out the last few inches that had stubbornly been kept from Peter.

Fuck, did it not feel good to have the boy’s nails dig into his bag as Tony moves his hips up with Peter’s jerky thrusts, nothing but gasps and poorly hid moans filling the air as the older man focuses on not cumming before his counterpart.

An impossible task, but he was Iron-Man and he was at least going to try.

The task becomes impossible when Peter’s foot slips and pushes him further onto Tony’s cock, the movement aligning perfectly so that the tip not only pushes against his prostate but rubs when Tony tries to catch him–!

Peter cums with a gasp and squeezes down.

“Peter–fuck–!”

Tony wasn’t going to be told that he didn’t try but Peter’s hole squeezing him down combined with the way his apprentice was clinging adorably to him while Tony cums was enough of a death blow to make even the more virtuous man take at least one peek at the way Peter was greedily taking in the first load of who knows how many. They both fall backwards as cum leaks out from the sides, Tony too busy with Peter’s tongue in his mouth to make a comment about how he needed to make room for at least two more.

Their mouths pull away as Peter’s saliva lands on Tony’s tongue, the boy leaning closer for another kiss but moaning instead when a rough hand pulls on his hair and keeps him there.

“Breathe, baby, can you breathe for me? Come on, in…”

Peter nods and takes a deep breath.

“And out.”

Both of them exhale at the same time, Peter looking down and refusing to move from his spot on top.

“Better?” Tony asks as he lets those brown locks go and instead pushes back Peter’s hair so that he could press a kiss to his forehead.

“...a bit.”

“Mmm. Good.” He smiles when Peter grinds his hips down, “Okay–okay Pete–I’m an old man so you’re going to need to give me some time to recover, bud.”

Peter’s mouth on his neck sucks greedily, Tony barely thinking about how he may have encouraged this behavior every time Peter did this exact same thing whenever he wanted to get his way.

“Mmmm not old…”

“My body would say otherwise, Petey.”

Humans and a few types of whales are the only species where females live past menopause. New research shows that the older female killer whales play a key role in keeping the species going, in one way much more so than younger orca moms. (Above, a calf swimming close to its mom.)
