Shadow, you have a message from Amy
(Attached is Amy’s reassuring message to Shadow)
Tumblr media
[Shadow is in their room within the bunker. They find this letter and a package containing a tape recorder in their sock and glove drawer. They freeze, reading the letter over slowly. Shadow takes the tape recorder out of the drawer and flips it over in their hand. They sit on the bed and, after a brief moment, press play.]
Amy: " If I could... What's going on? Is something wrong? Why are you asking me that?"
[Shadow's hackles start to rise.]
Amy: No. Stop that. Stop it... If something was really wrong, I'd know. And- and Shadow would tell me anyway... Right?
[Shadow stops the tape. For a moment they sit there. Then, they eject the tape from the player. Sitting the player down on the bed next to them, they flip the cassette over and over in their hands.] Shadow: ... You took this recording without asking. [They crush the cassette in one swift movement. The pieces of plastic fall to the floor as they proceed to systematically, meticulously, shred the tape ribbon.] [Silence. Shadow grinds their teeth.] Shadow: If you ever invaid her privacy again, you will never know peace.

i don't watch moan knight but i found your writing one night in a drunk stupor of lust, kinda just watching & observing the show from the sidelines. (i watched one episode & it wasn't for me. the characters & the fanfics are spectacular tho jesus christ this community is talented as hell.)
& i was wondering, with your red flag series, it's been seen that steven can disappear for as long as a week, maybe even longer, (& maybe in the show it's been confirmed i donno)
and THEN that got me thinking about like.. other scenarios ― like what if some nice neighbor/friend (acquaintance, at best, really) pops by, giving him food out of the kindness of their heart & goes "wup! looks like steven's not home :// i'll just put the package by his front door :)"
steven comes home one morning, thinking it's still last week. he finds a package by his door & a note from his lovely neighbor. it reads about how they made some extra food & didn't want it to go to waste ― things like that.
inside the package is spoiled food :T
this ask didn't really go anywhere but ur writing good 👍👍 keep up the good work champ
Thank you nonny for dropping by! sorry for the late reply as I have been on extended hiatus, and just saw this now! I'm so so flattered you enjoyed my writing even though you didn't enjoy the show, it makes me feel so chuffed you have no idea, and I absolutely agree with you the talent in fandoms are insane, there's so many writers here that makes me go star-eyed.
Thank you so much for your sweet and kind caring words, it means the world.
OMG that scenario has me howling!! Cause I just imagine Steven thinking he's being bullied?! Why is someone leaving rotten food on his doorstep!?!?! 😂😂 poor boy must be so damned confused.
I've been laughing at this so hard, it's brilliant!!!

Instead of the umbrastaff trying to blast Kravitz, the worm just jumps on his face and tries to suffocate him (he doesn’t breathe but it’s the thought that counts)
Been getting lots of takes on Wup (worm Lup) so i have condensed my ideas into this one reply:
the worm™ looks like any other worm on a string but Big. You wouldn’t know it’s an animate object (or vessel for that manner) until Taako does magic shit (or until Lup decides to blast a spell off on her own)
Lup thought it was funny to make at the time, but now feels Regret because oh no she’s in a Fucking Worm D:
how does it fire the magic? suggestions include opening its mouth(?) and firing a beam, or through it’s eyes, both of which are utterly terrifying to conceive. depends on the spell i think
Anyone other than Taako who tries to touch it will get static shocked, fuzzy worm contains Much Energy
SS Taako thought it was stupid as hell but current Taako feels Instant Attachment™ as soon as he sees it
He talks to the worm on the regular and always makes sure that everyone refers to the worm as “she” and “her”
Taako tried to name the worm “Big Chungus” once but Lup was very opposed to that and shocked him
Yeah, he had to rip the worm in half to free Lup. T’wasn’t easy to do at first, much struggle. The worm is sturdier than it looks
As soon as Lup was free and tried to pull a, “You’re dating the grim reaper?” Taako hits back with, “You got vored by a woooorrm??”

I love your last post! But it gets me thinking, what if azawa isn’t there! Who keeps him out of trouble! Is it Shinsou? I can just imagine Izuku saying something like “I don’t need you to protect me” and Shinsou be like “ I know but Aizawa-Sensei wanted me to keep you out of trouble.” At least I see them as brothers
Yeah, it’s sometimes like that :D
At first it was Iidas job because Aizawa was like “This one is strict, able to handle problems without them exploding in his face and - over all - fast.“ which works for a short while but once Izuku became somewhat friends with Iida and conspired with Ochako it kinda backfired. Now Izuku found Iidas blind-spots (figuatively) and outmaneuvers him if he really wants to create chaos.
Later Izuku becomes much more mellow, pranking only if he thinks someone really deserves it, so he stays out of trouble. Shinsou becomes – after drama, distrust and the reluctant sharing of a father-figure – something like a no-bullshit-detector. He had his fair share of bullshit thrown his way so when he sees someone else dealing with that right under his nose, he decides to take action. Izuku isn’t happy about the big lanky guy suddenly invested in his problems at school and tells him more than once to ‘go away, I got this, this is nothing’ while fishing trash out of his hair.
And Shinsou, still awkward as hell and not able to project his worries like a normal person, still wants to be a hero and sees how this kid wants to be at least someone good as well. So, he does something else.
Well, he doesn’t, like, outright tell Aizawa about Izukus struggles because that would be snitching and they just barely trust each other but… if he delays some meetings so they cross paths with some annoying students, calls loudly for a teacher because he forgot where the classroom was or he just so clumsily pushes a button on his phone that opens the camera app and, wups, silly him, he took a video instead of closing the app, such a doofus… well, Aizawa is smart. He would have found out on his own eventually. Shinsou just gave him a little push.
Izuku is thankful for him to keep some problems at bay without causing a scene but he’s also very annoyed. He can tell that Shinsou is doing it on purpose but he’s also very good at pretending like he doesn’t care and nonchalantly shrugs anything off Izuku throws his way.
That just makes it so much harder (and fun) to outmaneuver his new brother.
(Also, every time Izuku whines about not needing protection or a babysitter while sneaking another stolen haul from Power Loaders rejected-projects through the school, Shinsou rolls his eyes and slouches after him.
"Yeah, yeah, I know.”, he grumbles. “Just don’t kill yourself, Aizawa would hang me upside down over your grave.“
"Not for long though, he likes you too much for that.”, Izuku says and presses himself flat against the wall before peeking around the corner. Shinsou just stays in the middle of the hall watching the smaller boy.
“Still, I prefer to stand right-side-up and mourn like a normal person.”
“But you’re not stopping me.”, Izuku just mentions and hurries over to a room that had a big blocky lock on the handle. Shinsou grins and watches the green-haired-trouble maker pick the lock in seconds and follows inside. There is so much stuff in here. Izuku grabs something and piles it on top of his junk in his arms. Fireworks and flamethrowers?
“I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”)

Warrior: The Real History of the Race Riot that Shook San Francisco
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
This article contains Warrior spoilers.
In “Enter the Dragon,” the ninth episode of Season 2, Warrior rips a page out from history with its depiction of San Francisco Riot of 1877. On July 23, two nights of racial violence tore through Chinatown, killing four and destroying over $100,000 worth of Chinese-owned property. In Warrior there’s a much higher body count, but the show is “historical fiction” and never set out to be entirely accurate.
According to Warrior’s head writer Jonathan Tropper, “What’s important to us are the themes and the characters of the truths of the racism and the difficulty of the immigrant experience at that time. We’re taking all of our inspiration from historical characters and events, but we’re not telling a any kind of docudrama level, historical story.”
Race Riot in the City of Angels
The San Francisco riot was preceded by other attacks on Chinese Americans in a what is known as the “Driving Out.” In another Californian riot, the Chinese Massacre of 1871 happened in Los Angeles on October 24 when a mob of around 500 white and Hispanic rioters struck in Old Chinatown after hearing that a policeman was shot, and a rancher killed by a Chinese. It is estimated that 20 Chinese were lynched (although a few were shot dead prior to being hanged). In 1850, Los Angeles had a proportionally high number of lynchings for its size. 
Like in Warrior, the Los Angeles massacre was traced to a rivalry between two Chinatown tongs, but instead of the Hop Wei and the Long Zii, they were real tongs: the Hong Chow and the Nin Yung. Prostitution was rampant in Chinatown, an aspect that Warrior depicts with disturbingly accuracy, and Chinese women were commonly kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. Local police might attempt to rescue these women and return them for a fee. The abduction of a woman named Yut Ho sparked a feud between the Hong Chow and the Nin Yung and the policeman and rancher got caught in the crossfire. 
Ten men were prosecuted and eight were convicted of manslaughter for the lynchings, however the convictions were overturned due to “technicalities” after an appeal. In 1863, California law made it so that Asians could not testify against whites in court. That made Chinese easy targets for racial injustice by the time that these anti-Chinese attacks began occurring. 
Other Chinese massacres took place in the wild west. There was the Rock Springs Massacre in Rock Springs, Wyoming in 1885. That left nearly 30 Chinese dead and many homes destroyed. The government did offer some restitution for property loss, but no one was ever arrested or held accountable for the bloodshed. In 1887, same year as the San Francisco riot, there was the Hells Canyon Massacre in Oregon. Some 34 Chinese gold miners were killed. Again no one was ever held accountable. In 2005, the site was renamed Chinese Massacre Cove.
Race Riot in the City by the Bay
Starting in 1873, the United States suffered the “Long Depression,” which was originally called ‘The Great Depression’ until the 1930s when another economic depression usurped the title. Unemployment levels were staggering across the nation and this was long before the U.S. had established any government protections for the unemployed. The Long Depression carried on throughout the 1870s, the period in which Warrior is set. In Episode 17 “If You Wait by the River Long Enough…” the Panic of ’73 is mentioned. That panic was the historic catalyst for the Long Depression. 
San Francisco was hit hard. Unemployment was up to 20% and the Bank of California had failed. On July 23, 1877, a labor strike led by the Workingmen’s Party rallied in a vacant lot – nicknamed a ‘sand-lot’ – near the newly established City Hall of San Francisco. The Workingmen’s Party was founded in 1877 and is often confused with the Workingmen’s Party of the United States (WPUS) which was founded around the same time. The WUPS changed its name soon after to the Socialist Labor Party and it is the oldest socialist political party in the United States.
The Socialist Labor Party still active and is currently headquartered in Mountain View, California, about 30 miles south of San Francisco. The San Francisco Workingmen’s Party, more formally known as the Workingmen’s Party of California eventually rose to enough power to rewrite the state’s constitution. The sand-lot meeting was just the beginning. 
Some 8000 people showed up to that fateful sand-lot gathering strike. Initially, blaming the Chinese was not part of the platform. But then an anti-coolie procession pushed their way in, demanding to be heard. The crowd on the outskirts of the gathering turned on a Chinese passing by, attacking him, and shouting the rallying cry “On to Chinatown!” That launched the San Francisco Riot of 1877.
The mob destroyed property, mostly Chinese laundries. That old stereotype of Chinese laundries was based in fact. Laundry work was difficult prior to industrial washing machines and considered unmanly, but the Chinese were willing to do it. In 1880, San Francisco had some 200 Chinese laundries. The laundries were obvious targets, along with any challengers or bystanders that crossed the mob’s path. 
The next morning, the rioting grew. One of the mob organizers placed an ad in the local newspaper that said “RALLY! RALLY! Great anti-coolie Mass Meeting at the New City Hall, Market street, at 8 o’clock p.m.” On July 24, the Beale Street Wharf was set aflame.  From 1872 to 1907, the Beale Street Wharf was the city’s largest coal dock, and arsonists stoked the fire with 100 barrels of whale oil. However, it was a diversion to draw the city’s emergency resources away from downtown and Chinatown, where the riots would continue. That fire caused some $500,000 worth of damage and lost goods. 
When the mob marched on Chinatown, the Chinese houses in their path had been listed and were complete sacked. Wooden sidewalks were torn up to be used as battering rams. Homes were robbed. Laundries were burned. People were shot. The rampage lasted for two days until it was finally quelled by the combined forces of the SFPD, the California militia, and a thousand members of the Pick-Axe Brigade, a citizen vigilance committee that armed themselves with hickory pick-axe handles. Special 24-hour badges were issue by the SFPD to civilians willing to help. And the police were eager to break out their newly issued police batons, which according to the San Francisco Bulletin were “more effective than any other instrument in the business of skull-cracking.”
The Match that Lit the Fuse
The end of riot was not the end of anti-Chinese sentiments. Quite the opposite, it was just the beginning. Denis Kearny was one of the agitators from the Workingmen’s Party who participated in the sand-lot rally and the riot. He emerged as political leader for the anti-Chinese and anti-capitalist movement, pushing the slogan “The Chinamen Must Go.” Anti-Chinese sentiment kept growing in the United States, culminating in the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882 which banned the immigration of Chinese laborers. It remains the only such law to prohibit a specific ethnic group or nationality ever established in the United States and it wasn’t repealed until 1943. However, Chinese immigrants were still restricted to only 105 per year for the entire country. This was upheld until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. 
Warrior has been moving towards the Chinese Exclusion Act throughout the show. It has been brought up several scenes set in San Francisco’s political arena, especially by Buckley (Langley Kirkwood), who has made this Act the focus of his manipulative agenda. Recently there has been rise in anti-Chinese sentiment in the United States as the nation has become more racially divided. Extremists have blamed the pandemic on the Chinese, calling it the China flu or the Kung flu, and attacks on Chinese Americans have been increasing in many major metropolitan cities across the nation. Warrior has been hitting eerily close to home with its depictions of history and its comments on the ramifications. 
Here is where Warrior captures the spirit of Bruce Lee the best. Martial arts aside, Lee transcended race to become one of the world’s greatest icons. In his famous interview by Pierre Berton, Lee was asked if he thought of himself as Chinese or North American. His reply was timeless, “I think of myself as a human being, because under one sky we are but one family, it just so happens we look different.”
As writer and philosopher George Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Even though it is fiction, Warrior‘s insightful Easter Eggs of these darker times in American history. It reminds us to honor the diversity of our great nation and remain united as Americans.

i think an oft ignored genre of music is “songs discovered from amv hell that you only associate with the songs that come before and after it in that particular video”
and thats NOT just because every time i hear “hide and seek” i think of “purple people eater” or “i wupped batmans ass” or anything like that. not at all

Tell me about WSBK I assume it’s similar to MotoGP?
WSBK is similar and a bit different from MotoGP.
For starters, the bikes are different. The philosophy is that WSBK the bike should come from the bike you see on the streets with some additions so they can go faster (however, Ducati and Honda stripe their MotoGP from some stuff to be able to race on WSBK).
WSBK have 3 categories. WSBK (the big ones), WSSP (the intermediate) and WSSP300 (the small one, the chaotic ones too). Not all the categories go to the same circuits. WSSP300 did end their sea-son in the Portuguese round, and the other two still have two rounds to go.
And we have girls racing! In WSSP300 we have Ana Carrasco, which also did win a title (2018), and for the first round Beatriz Neila too. In WSSP we have Maria Herrera.
There's also another difference. In WSSP, not all the teams do the full season, some of them did only take part in some rounds and it's called WorldSSP Challenge. And there's a lot of wild cards (I lost track about how many in each category).
That's fairly similar to MotoGP until now. But, the difference (and kind of exciting) comes now. As you noted, I'm talking about rounds and not races, and that's because WSBK has multiple races on the same weekend! So now I'll show how a weekend works.
Friday: FP1 and FP2 for each category. Saturday: FP3 for WSBK, Superpole for each category. 15 minutes for WSBK and 20 for WSSP and WSSP300. And then Race 1 for each category Sunday: WUP (15 for each category), Superpole Race for WSBK and Race 2 for each category.
Your question might be, what the hell is the Superpole race? The answer is a short race, usually half the distance long race (9-10 laps) usually , where the top-9 do score points (ask for how many points do they score you can ask @ducaticorse @racingmuppett and or @valesweetdreams) and change positions for race 2. So in WSBK, Race 1, and Superpole race grid are set by Superpole and Race 2 is set (mostly) by Superpole race.
Currently, we are having battles for both titles and there are 2 rounds left. In WSBK is Rea and Razgatlıoğlu with Redding there just vibing (and might help the scale tip to one or to another). And in WSSP is Aegerter and Odendal (in this case, Aegerter is going to win unless he screws big time).
Some other interesting things, Rea is the 6-time world champion, and he won them consecutively. In the last one, he wore a t-shirt that said 'Ride like a girl', in honor to Ana Carrasco, her manufacture teammate, which did suffer a pretty bad injury after a training accident. Ana did use that slogan to celebrate her title to prove that girls CAN ride a bike and win championships.
Razgatlıoğlu is the best doing stopies, no question asked. He even did one to win a race.
I hope this helps you, I'm probably not the best to explain this because this is my first season, but feel free to ask questions.

Fanfic Author Asks
Tagged by @sophiainspace  -  I don’t have a lot of fics published so I tend not to do this sort of thing, but meh, what the hell. Apparently today’s the day \o/
Author Name: kleptoandpyro, formerly Le_Me.
Fandoms You Write For: First started writing for Harry Potter, when I was about 23 (still a hell of a lot of WIPs knocking around, wups) but now I’m concentrating only on Arrowverse stuff and I’ve also got one (1) Doom Patrol fic published, but I wanna do more DP one day. Thinking about doing something for Good Omens, too.
Most Popular One-Shot: ‘Negativity’. Which is a Doom Patrol Cliffarry fic, although you can read it mostly as Gen. Kind of a spur of the moment thing, that one.
Most Popular Multi-Chapter Story: I only have one completed, multi-chapter story, which is ‘Saints and Sinners’. Coldflash Vices and Virtues/Angels and Demons AU. Fun fact: this was my first ever attempt at smut, and it amazes me how well it was received.
Favourite Story You Wrote: Probably ‘Eight for Eight’. A Gen Legends fic that follows Martin Stein as he tries to convince Len to put on a thematic sweater so he doesn’t get cold outside. I love Gen. I actually prefer to Gen to shipping. And I’d always wanted more Stein & Sinnamon Rolls interactions.
Story You Were Most Nervous to Post: I don’t really get nervous posting stuff. A) Cos I’ve never really tackled any controversial topics in my fics, and B) Even if I had written something polarising, it’s up to the reader IMO to read the tags and the summary and work out for themselves if it’s something they’re ok reading about. I have no patience for folk who flame fics and anonymously insult authors in the comments because a fic didn’t do what THEY wanted it to. Like, bitch I didn’t write this for you, I wrote if for myself and all the other people who are interested in it.
But, if I had to pick it would be ‘5 Times Rip Knew that Time Hadn’t Completely Forsaken Him’ because it was my Rarepair Swap challenge fic, and I went with a completely new idea 3 days before the deadline. There was literally no time to think, I just had to get it written, which was kinda daunting. And it was a pairing I’d never written before, TimeCaptain, so there was that. My giftee loved it though, so it all worked out.
How Do You Choose Your Titles: PUNS. Usually. Infact...looks back... yes, they’re pretty much all puns. The odd few are named for the theme of the fic or taken from an in-fic quote, but the majority are puns.
Do You Outline? Sorry, I’ve not heard of her.
In Progress: Ugh, like too many. My docs folder is a pure shitshow. I have the attention span of a lettuce leaf so I can like start a fic usually no problem, but a few pages in I just get bored and start doing something else. If I do come back to something, it’s usually in dribs and drabs. The only way I can get a fic published, is if I power it out in as few sessions as possible. If I take too many times to come back to it, the lower the probability it’ll ever get finished.
Coming Soon/Not Yet Started: The number of headwips I possess is literally a googleplex.
Do You Accept Prompts: Yes, I do Six Sentence Sundays now. It’s actually helping me get back into writing and trying to just get a lot of words out without thinking about it too much. They’re short and sweet and I can do them within an hour or two, which is great for my terrible focus, so it works. Tbh you can send me any type of ask (for the ships I like) and I’ll always try and produce something for it. Right now I have a 100% prompt to ficlet success rate; I’ve not ignored a single one.
Upcoming Story You Are Most Excited to Write: I’ve had a Coldflash fairytale AU knocking around forever and it’s survived the test of time without me getting bored of the idea, so I definitely am looking forward to that. Prepare yourselves for Barry Allen as a weepy princeling and Len, once an Ice Mage, now demoted to the Fairy Godfather of the Central Kingdom - against his will. Cue the wishes.
Tagging: If you’ve already done this, ignore my ass @meowitskatmofo @blueelvewithwings-blog @hiverforesteevee @lacommunarde @a-redharlequin
