2023.06.01 17:16 plsendmee I’ve (F29) been talking to this guy (M28) romantically for almost 6 months and he jokingly said that he loves me. Idk what to think of that 😭
I met this guy online and we’ve been friends for almost 2 years na. Something changed and na-develop kami into this MU-kinda thing where we both know we like each other pero hindi kami maging official kasi we haven’t met in person yet—been talking almost daily and exchanging pics though. Mag-meet kami next month and agreed to become official/return to being friends, depending on how it goes. 😭
Last night, I was medicated and almost half-conscious when he said “lab kita”, so I said “love rin kita”. I’m kinda panicking kasi I feel like hindi ba importante kapag nagsasabi na ng L-word? Yung tipong paninindigan mo na talaga. Pero hindi pa kasi kami, at hindi pa nga siya nanliligaw talaga (in a sense na, never pa syang nagtanong ng would you be my girlfriend/partner, and ako pa yung nagremind sa kanya na kailangang klaro ang relationship status). So nalilito ako ngayon kakaisip kung seryoso ba sya or nagfflirt lang 😭 And anong ibig sabihin nun kung may chance pa na hindi naman kami maging magjowa at all if ever.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3c-2Rjlseo&feature=youtu.be Law360 (May 31, 2023, 5:09 PM EDT) -- Christmas Tree Shops got final approval Wednesday from a Delaware bankruptcy judge to take out $45 million in Chapter 11 financing after resolving objections from landlords concerned the retail chain had not budgeted enough cash to pay its rent.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Thomas M. Moran approved the financing after Christmas Tree Shops agreed to set aside enough cash to make a partial payment on the rent its landlords say it owes for May before its Chapter 11 case ends.
Christmas Tree Shops filed for Chapter 11 protection May 5 with about $44.4 million in secured debt, $90 million in unsecured debt and plans to close 10 of its 82 stores and reorganize.
At Wednesday's hearing, the company was seeking final permission to tap into $45 million in debtor-in-possession, or DIP, from Eclipse Business Capital and ReStore Capital, along with approval for procedures for closing the stores and disposing of their inventories.
The motions had brought objections from the unsecured creditors' committee, but counsel for Christmas Tree Shops said it, the committee and the lenders had reached a deal to resolve the objections, which included an increased percentage of certain sale proceeds for the debtor and an increased budget for the committee.
This left objections to the DIP from multiple Christmas Tree Shops landlords, who said the budget in the DIP did not include the approximately $4.7 million in post-bankruptcy "stub" rent they are owed for May. The proposal instead called for the expense to be paid out of the exit financing the company will receive when it leaves Chapter 11, they said.
The landlords argued they were at risk of not getting the payment, saying the debtor has not shown it will be able to pay the "administrative" expenses — such as legal fees, salaries and rent — that it will incur during the bankruptcy.
"We're looking for some assurance of payment. The risk of administrative insolvency shouldn't be entirely on the landlords," said Robert L. LeHane, counsel for the landlords.
Counsel for the debtors and the DIP lenders argued the company does not have the cash to make the May payments without slipping into a liquidation and that the company is seeking to exit bankruptcy within four months.
"This is not a long period to wait," Christmas Tree Shops counsel Harold Murphy said.
The landlords argued that if they don't get a payment guarantee, the DIP order should not include a lender-requested waiver of section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, which says debtors can't be stopped from using collateral for expenses involved in maintaining their assets.
Judge Moran said he would not require the payment of the rent, but that he would also not approve the waiver.
"I'm not going to permit a 506(c) waiver where there's no provision for stub rent," he said.
The hearing adjourned for two hours, and returned with a deal under which the 506(c) waiver will be allowed and the debtor will make weekly payments into an escrow fund sufficient to pay half the stub rent by the projected end of the case.
"It's what we were looking for, some fairness and balancing of the risks," landlord counsel Douglas Rosner said.

2023.06.01 17:11 Separate_Necessary40 some questions about nvidia + amd + displaylink
I have a GT 710 graphics card (kepler) and Ryzen 5900x (no internal gpu). Lately I have been running into some problems and would like your advice.
- Driver I use is propertiety 470, and I used to connect my monitor directly to monitor of the card. It gave me decent performance, only problem was wayland support sucked. I tried nouveau but at that time (year ago) there were plenty of bugs like when I would do preview in gnome, all windows showed same thing. So first thing I wanted to ask has the nouveau support for kepler cards improved? I see there are still some issues with power and memory management on wiki.
- Then I added a docking station: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/acc500106-thinkpad-usb-c-dock-gen-2-overview-and-service-parts. Now my monitor is connected via a display port cable with the dock. And dock is connected to my PC using type - C (usb 3.2). The rendering works through a software called display l=ink which uses CPU and does not rely on nvidia graphics card. So the performance kinda sucks and I was wondering if there is a way to configure it to use nvidia card.
- Another thing is that dock has both display port and hdmi option to connect with monitor. hdmi does not simply work for some reason. display port works with the displaylink software as mentioned above. If I could just get hdmi to work on this with nvidia, without proprietary displaylink software it would be great. Currently I have just blacklisted nouveau and addded `nvidia_drm.modeset=1` to my boot options.
If to solve 2 and 3, I need another graphics card I would also appreciate the recommendations. I dont do gaming or ML, so had picked up this cheap card 2 years ago. Thanks for the help.

2023.06.01 17:04 IsiahE4112 My Star Wars Story
I made a character and this sotry for star wars (i made this story for my English finals, i had a month to make it and got an A on it), the characters name is Saya Eban and is a character I have been thinking of for over a decade now (im not in my 2nd decade so since i was super young). Saya at this time is 13-14 years old and was given inspiration by almost all the other jedi and also star killer. He is human and with reliance on the force he can live up to 1000 years with hi peak being between 35, 40 ish to around 800 years of age. In terms of prime power level and potential, in my canon he is 3rd most powerful character just underneath luke and anikan Skywalkers, but could contend with them at some points. Little background: he was a prodigy in school before he became a padawan, he always had an intrest in a character named Ahsoka Tano but never became more than friends because of the Jedi teachings. He was a fast learning youngling and became a padawan earlier than most other younglings, becaming a padawan at the age of 11 - 12. He was in the first battle of Genesis but his troop transport ship was blasted out of the air, landing behind enemy lines leaving him the sole surviver, and scarring him, making him want to never see uneeded bloodshed ever again. He met Count Dooku before he had met Obi-Wan and Anikan on geonosis, he locked blades with him once... once, before he was thrown aside like a house fly, not worth his time, he was out until the retreat of the battle was initiated. This gave him night terrors and nightmares, after this day he could never sleep more than an hour, if that, before he woke up feeling the dark side creeping in. So he had learned to use sleep meditation. Sleep meditation allowed him to accelerate his trainings and connect greater to the force, he had unlocked 1/3 of his life now, the force helping his cells heal his body while he sat and meditated.
This story is of how he lived through one of the bloodiest battles and worst losses of the Republic, the battle of Sarrish, and of how he had obtained his later main star ship, a Kom'rk Mark 1 class star fightetransport, aka the Puro (i made this story before I have watched the 3rd season of the Mandalorian, as of right now i still haven't so Idk if thats in season 3 or not).
There is about 11,340 words in the story, and I don't 100% know of what I should make him look like so have your imaginations run wild.
Ok here we go:
Tales of Saya Eban's Puro
Chapter 1
The battle of Sarrish was one of the worst battles of the Clone Wars, it was a great devastating loss to the Republic and the Jedi, and I was in the middle of it all. Before the battle I was doing some touch-ups on my A-wing Fighter. I had managed to get my hands on a hyperdrive that would fit in my small fighter, although being able to enter hyperspace without an external hyperdrive wing is very convenient, fast, and easy, it does slow my fighter and hinder some mobility, but not an uncontrollable amount of loss. Little did I know it'd save my life later that week. After I had finished my work, gotten it restocked for my next battle, I was called to the Jedi command center for a briefing by Master Yoda, saying it was an urgent mission and I was needed now, with his backwards way of speaking annoying me slightly. In a flash, I had gathered my battle ready loadout and headed off to the command center. When I entered the command center with the center planning table showing starships from both Confederate and Republic sides, One chasing another. I look and see Masters Yoda and Windu and a holoprojected Obi-Wan Kenobi surrounding the Table, with deeply serious thoughts in their eyes, fingers on their concentrating chins. When I swiftly strolled in, I was greeted with Master Windu's cheerful, but serious voice: "Ah, Padawan Eban, good you're here, come quick, we must act with persistence if we want to gain an upper hand in this war." "Master Windu, good to see you, you too Master Yoda, Master Kenobi, what's the situation?" Master Obi-Wan states, "We are currently chasing Separatist forces to the planet Sarrish and we will need some back up, could you bring your part of the 104th battalion right away, we have heavy casualties and they're going to have reinforcements when they reach the planet." "Is there not anyone closer than me, it may take a few days for me to get there, yall mabe finished by the time I get there!" I said with hope in my eyes. "I'm afraid that you're the only one that is available with the most minimal time of arrival, you'll have to be quick though, it will be anytime now they will reach the planet and have reinforcements. we need this win, it will be a great victory for the Republic if we are able to capture the planet." Stated Obi-Wan with certainty. "All other generals are on missions right as we speak, you are the only one that can provide back up at this current time." Master Windu added "Closer to Knight after this mission you will be, great padawan you are, your great swift improvements, Master Plo is pleased with, believe in you I do." Master Yoda said with a jolly old-man voice. "Now go, there's not much time to waste, gather your men and go help Obi-Wan!" Rushedly said by Master Windu. "With determination in my voice, I yell "Yes Masters, right away!" And like a flash, I was gone. As I'm running off, I catch a glimpse of a green swoosh and the sound of a bolt deflection. I stumble to a stop and put my legs in reverse to give curiosity the wheel. When I peer in, I see Master Skywalker and Ahsoka, along with roughly 8 clone troopers all in a circle around Ahsoka and her one blade ignited. Master Skywalker had her eyes welded to her as he walked around the trooper. I could see Captain Rex standing and watching as well, although he seems to be the only one who spotted me poking in my head. He motioned his finger to his lips as to tell me to shush and not interfere, so I watched with anticipation. And after a lifetime stillness ending in a second after Master Skywalker yelled "START!" And stun doughnuts fire from the blasters of the troopers, sending a volley of blue twords Ahsoka from all directions. With great flexibility I pair with, she jumps into the air, spinning like skates on a skate rink in mid air deflecting all incoming plasmic projectiles landing with swift grace ready for more, And more came, she stands in the center blade moving almost faster than what my eyes could keep up with, until that one bolt punches her right in the back, knocking her to the ground, diminishing the blade back into the hilt. I spring into the room, speaking with worry in my voice when I squeak out "Ahsoka! Master Skywalker, what was that!?"
"She was just training deflecting blaster fire, she's going to be outmatched a lot in this war, and clones are better than droids to practice with." Anakin said with pride that she was able to last little over a minute, thats improvement.
"Well I guess you're not completely wrong, but your going to give her a brain injury at this rate! Could you not go a bit easier on her?"
"She'll never learn if I go easy on her." Master Skywalker said with little arrogance in his voice.
"W- well, here, l-let me wake her then." I stuttered as I walked up to Rex holding Ahsoka like he's a pillow.
"Rex, do you mind if I-"
"Not at all General, here." Rex said as I sat next to him holding Ahsoka's top half of her body.
As he caringly sets Ahsoka's rhythmically beating top half in my lap, head facing the heavens, I softly lay my hand over her forehead, close my eyes, and concentrate. A few suspenseful seconds later, I take my hand off and observe Ahsoka's hand softly glide to her now curling forehead, eyes fluttering open.
With a smile I voiced"Wakey Wakey warrior princess, have a good nap?" Smirking the whole time.
"Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes Nicksters." She groaned with fading pain.
"What are you doing here?" She leisurely grumbled as she started to lie propped up by her desirable, fluorescent orange arms made of flexible muscle.
"I was walking by, and saw a 'damsel in distress', I HAD to come and 'save the day'." I joked, smirking the whole time, annoying her little bit more.
"You know I have been dying to use my force heal on you since I had learned it. I bet you don't even feel bad at all right now hm?" I said leaning in
Ahsoka starts to stand as to get a feel for her own body.
"You're right, I feel better than I did before, not bad for someone named Nicks." Ahsoka said smirking right back at me.
"Oh come on, that was one time, that was even before we became patiwans!" I said with little dramatics in my vocal verberations.
"Ok Master, I'm ready to try again." Ahsoka said to Master Skywalker
"Not now Ahsoka, we have a mission from the Jedi council we have to attend to while Obi-Wan is on his own mission." Anikan said to Ahsoka, elongating his 'not' like he usually does
"I'm actually about to go give help to Obi-Wan right now… WHICH I NEED TO GET PREPARED FOR NOW!! Karabast, got to go! See yah Ahsoka, Master, Rex." And like a ship entering hyperspace, I was gone.
Chapter 2
After 2 boring days traveling in hyperspace, me and my 5 Veneter class Cruisers are nearing our destination, this would make 12 Cruisers for the Republic side. A new commander CT'-4112 or Zerek, debriefs on the battle situation. As I had sensed, Obi-Wan was outmatched seeing as backup was on planet Sarrish for the fleeing Separatist ships, now it's 11 Munificent class Cruisers and 2 command stations blockading the planet. Kenobi was starting to be pushed back, relying on our Cruisers longer ranged cannons to hope the Sepies didn't get too close. Our Cruisers have longer ranged main canons and toms of fighter room, while the Sepies Cruisers have more fire power at closer ranges with more fighters than our Vendor class Cruisers, at closer ranges, the Sepies would completely destroy a Venetor class Cruiser, but we have strategies and will power.
"Glad to see a friendly face Saya." Kenobi said exhaustingly.
"Well, it looked like you needed help. You know I need to be the one to save everyone. I'll move into position to fortify our defenses to push the Sepies back and for us to make a plan. What is your fleet's condition?"
"We have 2 Venetors heavily damaged and the rest either have mild to no damage. And we have lost half our fighters as of now." Urgently said by Kenobi.
"Ok, I'm sending men and supplies to you right now, let me take the front so I can take the damage if they send another attack." I calmly said to Kenobi.
"Men battle positions and set all power to front cannons and shields. Venators get into pincer position and get ready for an attack. Fighters get ready to launch." I commanded to all my Cruisers
"Master, if you could, could you add in your undamaged Venetors? " I wandered and directed with much mastery, I even made Obi-Wan himself visually impressed considering my inexperienced mind in life, and especially war. I even managed to make him smile.
"Getting in position now." Obi-Wan stated, still smiling.
"Understood, While you get everything fixed, I'll see if I can weaken their defenses, it seems as if they're in attack positions so we gotta be ready for anything." I said in deep thought.
"Ok, 10 to 13, I like those odds, makes it even, more so for the Sepies." I grinned.
"Now Saya, remember this is still a battle, don't be too cocky, you're starting to remind me of Anakin." Obi-Wan said with conviction.
"Yes Master, sorry about that." I answered to Obi-Wan, pulling back a little.
Just then, many starfighters come from the enemy Cruisers, hundreds of them lightning fast, closing distance fast.
"All right men, time for some fun. Obi-Wan, if you want to take command of my control center, I'll lead this fight." I said before Obi-Wan could respond.
"Ok- but Saya! Blast, maybe he's too much like Anikan." Obi-Wan said defeatedly.
As I get into the hangar I yell "Alright Wolfpack, let's get goin!" Then I hop into my modified Jedi A-wing.
We rush out from the center roof door along the Cruiser with my squadron aka The Wolfpack, with me leading my 23 fighters into battle and many more friendly's following from the hangars.
"Ok Wolfpack, let's make a break for them Cruisers, get as many of them gone as possible. 411 you ready?" I asked R2-411. R2-411 bleeps with readiness.
"Ok, time to blow them out of the sky, remember, stay in formation" I commanded.
"Yes sir!" The Clones bellowed.
Then we hit the swarm with a mighty thundering sound of lasers flying through the emptiness of space seeing one after one of enemy fighter droids dropping all over the place. Me and my Wolfpack fly through all the 2 winged Vulture droids that look like each wing was sideways and has 2 prongs each side for wings. They were way more quick and maneuverable than us, but we had a duty to win, and we won't lose today. It's like a firework show, but you're dodging all the fireworks, and they're aiming right at you. While we are defending the Venator Cruisers, they're mostly firing at the Sepies Cruisers, slowly dwindling their energy shields down.
"Boys, I have a plan, but I'll need yall to get back to the Cruisers." I urged
"Obi-Wan, how's the 2 heavily damaged Cruisers? We've been out for a long while. They should be good by now right?" I questioned Master Kenobi.
"They're about to come back into the fight, but one of our Cruisers is at a quarter shield, few good hits or bombing runs and it's gone, what's your plan Saya?" Obi-Wan said, perplexed.
"Just give me an opening to the left Separatist control center, that's all I need to get on that ship." I stated with confidence.
"I'll try my best, but don't be stupid Saya, we can't afford to lose you."
"Yeah yeah I know, just get me an opening please Master!" I begged.
After the words fleeted from my mouth, all the Cruisers fired a hole through the droid fleet with friendly fighters also making way for me to get through. I blast the afterburners straight through the enemy swarm that's been lesson by the commotion, just barely being hidden by smoke from a just destroyed fighter straight into the leftmost control ship hanger landing with an explosive entry. And immediately I jump out, igniting both, my straight emerald green saber in my left, and my yellow saber with a curved hilt similar to the Count's hilt himself in my right. I'll face him again one day, it's inevitable, like me. I land and immediately cut a group of B1 battle droids heads off with my yellow saber facing out, giving me more reach, but as I start to take fire from the army that quickly form from my landing, I swiftly doge left to right almost able to doge the sight of a human eye. Left, pop goes the heads of 3, right, pop goes 5, jump through the air on an almost straight path through the thick of the army, spinning with a light show if one were to be an onlooker at this chaotic organization of flying red plasmic bolts going to a mix of yellow and green, then proceeding to fly straight back at the shooter with twice the velocity. I land on my feet with a thunderous "BOOM" with what seems like an explosion that incinerates half of the whole hanger with an electric yellow glow seeming like yellow lighting exploded from the epicenter of the explosion. When the smoke cleared, it seemed that everything within a 5 meter radius was completely incinerated, and everything within 40 meter radius was heavily damaged, and any technology within eye shot was either scrape or short-circuiting, but all B1 battle droids and super battle droids were out.
I sighed with relief with little heavy breathing when I looked around me, but with no time to rest, 6 Vulture droid fighters came through the hanger's magnetic shield door, transforming to walk on its pronged wings like they were legs. They scanned me and started raining a flurry of red down onto me, but with my lightning fast reflexes, I raised my sabers to block the incoming hellfire from all six fighter's. Then came the flurry being deflected in any direction possible, and I could just barely see the 6 droids started to surround me by going behind my back, but I ain't done yet. As I'm blocking, jumping, spinning, twisting on a micrometer, I stomp with a mighty force, launching through the air, slowly spinning straight for a Vulture that has became the prey. Bolts whizzing by me, inches, centimeters near my skin, singeing my arm hairs to their roots. I land on top of the droid with a thunderous boom crunching where my foot had landed, driving my sabers straight through the brain of the story high droid, with a counterclockwise rotation around my back, dragging my sabers across the metal of the droid, I leap off the droid landing with the feathers and fly forward with a flashing dash slicing through 2 other droids legs, leaving gravity do its magical job. 3 down, 3 to go, but with little time left. I launch forward running on hairs dipping and dodging blots, I leap up slicing through one leg of a droid and pushing off of its gravity taken hull, coming down on another droid's leg, cutting with ease. I land like a leaf in the autumn skies, and launch with a swift leap, flying my yellow saber straight down the middle of the 6th and final droid with no time to spare.
I land with caution, ready to fend off another foe, but none came at that second, so I took the opportunity and ran with it straight to where the main reactors should lie. I swiftly sprint with force leaps through the air to get to the reactor, the ship is 270th of a circle with a ball where the command center is, the middle is the only connected between the back of the ball and the inner back of the circle, that's where the reactor is, im at the left most side, may take me a minute to reach it, but I can get there without being seen. My plan was to quickly fix and rewrite a Vulture droid's code to go with my command, not going to be the best work but it will work, hopefully. I had to act fast because I knew there were going to be hundreds more droids to come to see the commotion, I'd say within the minute. The codes used on the droids are not the best, because of mass production, so It was an easy fix, I just needed it to fly a small bit. It comes back to life with a putt to its movement, I directed it to start flying while I'm on its back, putting the whole time with smoke, just what I needed. I start to move forward as fast as possible. As we get around the hundreds of battle droids below, I'm starting to speed up, and as I see the reactor room, I could hear B1's yell " HEY! STOP! YOUR GOING TO FAST" in their robotic voice. Before I hit the Shield covering the reactor room, I jump off to the left where the blast door is for the room. With the distraction of the droid smashing into the shield, I use this time to slowly cut through the blast doors with both sabers starting at the bottom of the door, going up and around to form a circle I can fit through. I was through within a Minute, unnoticed, or so I was led to believe. When I get into the reactor room, I throw explosives all over the reactors, with a detonation in T minus 1 minute. I fly out of the room, calling for 411 to bring my ship as fast as possible, 55. Running across the hanger, I'm spotted by the hundreds of battle droids, which immediately start firing right as they see me 50. The explosion of the fighter droid caused a chain to nearby explosive barrels, exploding more Vulture droids causing tons of smoke and fires to spread around the hangar area, 45. As I'm running, my yellow saber is blocking multiple bolts flying at me while I'm jumping, spinning, performing acrobatic movements while being shot by hundreds of droids, from B1's, to super's, to droideka's, all firing at me, adding to the smoke, 35. Running with young blood in my veins, I perform 1, 2, 3 long jumps and leap onto the side of a slanted destroyed Vulture droid, 30. I jump up, reaching for the cloudy sky just as 411 swoops in predictively shoving my hand into the side of the sharp A-wing hull, 25. I grab the side of the hull and pull myself up into the cockpit, grabbing the controls, 20. I spin to the exit with roughly 67° of the hanger I need to shoot out of, I fire the afterburners using the circumference of the circle and my fighters movment to my advantage, 15. Pushing forward, I am drifting an A-wing around the hangar of a Separatist capital ship skimming the walls centimeters away from an explosive fiery death, 10. I barely screamed out of the hanger, to be able to see a view of the capital ship flying stright for the other Sepie capital ship, 5. Im still firing the afterburners to try and attempt to get a safe distance away from the soon to be collision sight, 4. I let 411 take the control's, 3. I turn my head to look back, 2. I see the collision of the 2 270° hangers, 1. I watch as i get the view of a star being formed right infront of my eyes, and seeing many Sepie Cruisers being absolutely engulfed by the flames, and a blast wave decimating the Vulture droids… blast wave…. BLAST WAVE! Just then I'm thrown far, along with the debri. I manged to gain control of the craft and start performing advanced monuvers to avoid being hit by debrie that will demolishe me and my tiny fighter.
"Saya, can you hear me? Saya?" Master Obi-Wan Kenobi pleaded.
"Yeah, yeah master, I'm good, I'm fine. Woo…!" I said with a sigh of relief.
Chapter 3
The explosion had decimated the Separatist forces leaving 4 Cruisers sustaining heavy or mild damages, but with an opening, Obi-Wan and I travel to the ground along with Captain Cody to go for a large ground assault. Master Obi-Wan's plan was to drop in and gather our troops and split them between Obi-Wan and commander Cody. We were west, they were east. The Separatists had the high ground seeing as they had a cliff to their advantage. Flying in on gunships, we were taking heavy fire from their anti aircraft cannons. Commander Cody and I are debriefing the squad on the way to the rally point, seeing gunships after gunship falling to the rocky ground in a fiery explosive ball of red hot metal, and screams, with no plants in sight, just rocks, gunships, and red streaks flying by. Explosions booming right next to us with our doors right open. We have been ordered and ordering troops to stay far away from the mountain top gun fortifying the mountain top of the cliff, leaving that gun for the gunships and the best of the clone troopers, or ARC (Advanced Recon Commandos) troopers to deal with that later, seeing as a ground assault is too dangerous for us. As some of the clones have said, it's not an easy mission, but hops are high.
"30 seconds until landing." A clone trooper yelled to me and Cody.
Cody starts with "All right, listen up! Maintain squad formations, 'A' squad, You're on me-" ZZZZZEEEROW- BOOOM!
"Where hit!" I yell "Everyone! Hold on!"
Before we hit the ground I leap out of the gunship with a backwards somersault, force pulling all the troops out of the burning fireball heading for the ground, grabbing all of the men, including the 2 pilots at the front, breaking through the windows. I land like rain from the sky, catching the troops I just pulled out with my powers and have them roughly land on the fluffy rocks next to our now downed gunship, no casualties yet. I rush over to take cover under our gunship on its left side behind enemy lines. I sit and meditate as they come up with a plan.
"What's the status lieutenant?" Cody asked
"5 injured thanks to General Saya, but that's not that bad news… Does that Rock look familiar?" The lieutenant asked.
"Yea, the mountain, right where we're not supposed to be." Said Cody
"General Kenobi ordered us not to try taking this section from the ground." The lieutenant regenerated back again with what was already established.
"That's what he said…but what would the general do if he were here?" Cody rhetorically asked.
"Saya sir, what do you think?" A trooper asked me somewhat desperately.
"I think Cody should take this one, I've got your back Cody." I answered with my legs crossed, eyes closed, slightly levitating over the rocks.
"Eight-Eight-Six-Seven through Eight-Eight-Six-Nine and Saya, fix your grapples and come with me. Everybody, prepare for covering fire." Cody ordered.
I get up, eyes still shut, ready to block anything coming our way.
"NOW!" Cody yells, sprinting across what is our no-man's-land
I open my eyes, ignite my Sabers, Green in left, yellow in right, and dash towards the now incoming blaster fire. I sense it, left side, block, right side, deflect, one for Cody, deflected. We get to some stalagmites at the bottom of the mountain, sustaining heavy fire, I pose as a distraction for all the fire, deflecting as many blots as I can back at the metal men. One troop trips and falls, pow, bolt straight through the head. Cody and the men shoot the grappling hooks up towards the top of the mountain and start climbing. I jump from my spot reigniting my sabers, driving them through the mountain side, helping me grab hold with my feet. And when I look up, I see a grapple fall behind me. I tried to grab the rope but I was too late. When I managed to obtain it, he had already hit the ground. Another tragedy, one that never had to happen, life being wasted away. I look up, a droid stairs emotionlessly down into my emotion filled eyes. A blue bolt shoots past me, impacting the droid's head, sending the body backwards.
Cody and the other clone rises from the cliff side as I leap up from the side, landing in front of the clones and immediately start deflecting with my 2 sabers having nothing pass. Cody takes this opportunity to run around my defense and attacks the droids head on, bashing one droid with the butt of his rifle and swinging his rifle at another, destroying both of them. The droid manning the anti aircraft gun turns and aims at Cody. Instinctively I jump in front of the cannon as it fires, I deflect the large bolt away with my right yellow saber, knocking my body to the right, making me stumble. But with the motion throwing me to the right, I use the momentum to throw my green saber with my left hand, impaling the droid in the metal chest. Cody then hops onto the turret, points the gun at the droids firing at our men, and lets loose, destroying all in its reticle.
"Thanks General, I owe you one, ill getcha next time." Cody said slowly getting off the turret.
"You're alright my friend, just pay it forward, let's go see how Obi-Wan did." I slightly worried, staring off to the north.
We group up at the randevu, where we have set base camp on the planet in a small raven a bit away from where we captured the cliff with some makeshift scouting towers dotted around our position. Obi-Wan had more resistance than what he had anticipated, he was a little banged up, but he was fine in the end. This was a huge victory seeing as we have been able to set base on a planet that allows us to get resources through this hyperspace route and onto parts of the army past this point. Before, General Grievous snipped our route to where we couldn't get resources to our army on the other side from Coruscant.
Chapter 4
12 hours later, we have rested and have managed to build up a good base incase of a surprise attack. We are still fighting a few fronts of Separatist holdouts with a fortress a few klicks west, or about 4 miles west.
I sit in my tent meditating, reflecting back on the weeks events, and what Ahsoka was doing back at the temple, training hard. I recite what I did with an almost overwhelming amount of blaster fire attempting to fly into me, how I was just mostly averting the blots away from me and not in a direction that would benefit me most.
'RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE'
The ground started to shake out of nowhere, breaking my peace. I rush out of my tent, only to be met with a face full of B2 battle droid. I jump back over my tent flipping onto my feet as I see my tent being lit into flames from heavy bolt fire flying at me. Igniting both my sabers, I deflect the incoming fire away from me up into the sky as much as I physically could. I took a glance around, it was becoming more sunlit as we fought. It was a slaughter, clones dying left and right, Kenobi was on the Command ship getting patched, so it was just me, and the clones down here, being manicured. With a swift right step, I change lightsaber form, combining my form 3, (defensive form blocking anything coming way, and either making, or waiting for an opening to strike) with a combination of form 2 (saber to saber form, putting least amount or saber movement and preferring precise efficient movements) and form 4 (saber from using the force to enhance physical abilities, and heavily utilizing fast acrobatic movements to move around and disorient the opponents, using wide sweeping saber movements to block and hit targets) I use the power if the many bolts to propel my body onto my right leg, crouching down and taking a huge lead in to the air. Looking around like it is moving in stop motion, I see thousands of droids around, completely outnumbering my men. Glancing down where I had jumped from, there seems to be a super battle droid rising from the ground, looking as if it has been there for at least a few days. Time seems to start like normal again, immediately I have to block bolts coming for my body, twisting, turning, deflecting every. single. bolt. right to another droid. I can't have any more unneeded deaths in my hands. I land with an impactful explosion of yellow lighting, rendering half of the electronics on the field obsolete. Shots fire over the wall, exploding near me.
"Everyone, Retreat!" I yelled into the comms.
I ran towards the lieutenant that I had survived the crash with, he was running for a troop transport.
"Get to the ships, return to the Venators! Get Kenobi and relay what has happened!" Urgency blowing through my voice.
I push him into the ship as it takes off. As it's doing so, I force push it away from the field as to be in less danger of being shot down. But rockets fly through the air, I reach through the force and grab onto the hurdling death traps, I grab 1, 2, crash them into one another, 3, grab, 4, grab, 5, miss. ERRROW… BOOOM! With a hopeless explosion, the ship bursts into an explosive ball of fire, right in front of my eyes, out of my grasp. Shots fly past my head from behind me, I ignite my sunlit yellow saber to block incoming bolts. No men, only metal remains, and it wants me dead. I dash for my ship on the other side of the airstrip, luckily barely touched from this horrible surprise party that invited everyone I very much dislike. Hopping into my A-wing, I lift-off dogging left, right, up, down, roll left, roll right, barely being passed by on all sides by cannon fire. When I reach the point past the clouds, there's a whole war above. Separatist forces have surprised Kenobi with an overwhelming number of ships, putting our war torn 12 Venators against 16 Munificent class Cruisers. We were greatly out matched. But the time I was in space we had lost 3 Vectors compared to there 1 lost. Droids noticed me coming from the planet and started to verge onto my position.
"Obi-Wan! You there? Can you hear me?" I yelled, pulling evasive maneuvers.
"Saya, is that you?" Kenobi asked.
"Yes, we got surprised on the ground, seems the same happened here." I rushingly said.
"Yes, they came out of nowh-" Kenobi is cut off by a blaring siren from my cockpit.
"Wait, my ship is damaged, it's starting up my hyperdrive, 411 can you fix it?" I said dipping left and right while trying to stop the hyperdrive activation.
With a few bleeps of fear, I understand what's happening.
"When I was thrown from the capital ship explosive wave, I must have been hit near the hyperdrive, and explosions from my escape, along with the maneuvers I have been pulling, it may have caused damage that is registering a hyperdrive activation. Master Obi-Wan, I don't know, I-I don't know what to do!" I claimed with fear in my eyes.
"Can you deactivate the hyperdrive at all 411?" Kenobi asked
411 bleeps with a sad toon.
"Blast, Saya, does it say where you're going?"
"N- No, my council just says ERROR." I stated, now with much fear in my voice.
I managed to steer my craft into the position of the hyperspace lane.
"Tell Ahsoka good bye if I don't-" I get cut off when the the hyperdrive powered up woth a vvvvvvvvvvvVVVVERRRRRRR PEEOW, and just like that, me, my A-wing, and R2-411, are gone.
Chapter 5
It's been days since the battle, mabe 2 or 3 days. Luckily I always keep many ration bars in my fighter to last me a good few days, along with my extra water and my ability to go into a deep meditative state, conserving food and water. Keeping me company is my meditation and 411. We have almost hit some unknown objects, could have been planets, asteroids, other ships, but we seem to be staying in hyperspace lanes luckily, or I would have been dead a long time ago. My class 2 hyperdrive could have taken me all over the galaxy by now, I could be heading towards Coruscant right now for all I know.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
My hyperdrive warning kicked on, showing that there is a massive gravity force in my path. The console flashed with big red dangerous letters "Exiting Hyperdrive" on the screen.
"YES! FINALLY!" I yelled with excitement.
I watch through the glass to see a barren looking planet, and a similar looking moon, a moon I was heading to. I was moving fast, as I entered the moon's atmosphere, Im grabbing the controls, barely anything. My craft is red hot from the rate at which I'm coming in on. I'm grabbing the stick, pulling back as much as I can, as to try and save myself and 411 from a fiery death. I scraped by a big rocky mountain dealing more damage to my A-wing.
"HOLD ON 411!"
"Come ooooon. Pull pull pullllll…. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!-" VERRROW BOOOOSH!!! The crash landing sounded like a bomb flying through the air, then landing on its target. I try to get from my seat just to find my strap and window will not open. Using my saber I cut off my seat strap and broke the window from the hinges and leaped out, taking 411 from the craft, swiftly landing on a tall mountainous rock. The craft seemed to have pushed through the land 50 meters from the initial impact spot. The area I was in seemed to be very rocky terrain with many rocky canyons and huge rocks that are almost mountainous. The sun was close to setting down for the night but was still a good hour away from sleeping.
With the force by my side, I felt a very uneasy sensation telling me to stay out of sight. I duck down on the tall skinny rock taking 411 down with me. 411 confusingly bleeps when I do so. "Hey, I have a feeling right now, just keep quiet real quick, there's somebody coming. Trust me." Me and 411 peer over the edge looming over my crashed ship just as a group of 6 men in full armor covering their whole body fly in with jetpacks strapped to their backs, blasters in hand. As they land, they search around my wreckage, presumably looking for survivors. One seems to be ordering the others around, pointing at one to look in one direction, another a different direction, and scanning around for the unexpected visitor. I look down at my Wrist link, my distress signal wasn't sent, I guess that was damaged from entering the planet at such high speed with no deflector shields surrounding the ship like a protective blanket.
"Blast, 411, what's your S.O.S signal situation, did it go through?" 411 beeps with a little drama like I should know it didn't go through.
"Well sorry for busting your rusty bolts you rowdy rancor, better to try than to just give up mister sassy pants. Maybe I should wipe your memory for a change, see how you like it."
"Now shush, don't want them to find us spying on them, won't look too good." I demand. "Now here, in case we get caught, I don't want them to know I'm a Jedi, so here, take my sabers, I'm not gonna need them anyways." I said shoving my lightsabers into 411's storage compartment and looking towards the crash again.
Just then the suit of armor that had been commanding his squad bursts up into my view right on my face out of hyperspace blue.
"Ah, found ya trespassers, you 2 are coming with me." Demanded the Mandalorian with a snickering sound in his voice as the others rise from the portal of the abyss from down below.
It was a good thing my ropes where in the tent back on Sarrish, or this may have been an even worse situation, Mangalorians like them hate Jedi with a passion, and it's a good thing I always have a broken blaster in 411 for any cases where I need to blend in with a crowd or pose as a normal civilian; although, the ability to become a civilian at any point is great, I've had little need to do so much. I'm quite popular with the people for being one who tries to connect with the population as a fellow citizen. So I rarely stay in the temple for too long. I love being with the people and learning skills without the force, like being a mechanic, electrician, public speaker, security guard, an all around great person to talk with about anything. I'm quite known on all levels of Coruscant for being one of the most friendly Jedi to be around. Right now though, I need to focus on not being caught, at least That's what my gut is telling me. After they searched my character for any weapons and found the broken blaster that 411 had put in my holster where my lightsaber usually is, they were satisfied and pushed us into one of their big Kom'rk Mark 1 class Mandalorian starfightetransport ship.

2023.06.01 16:59 FilmAdministrative44 The shockingly good characterization of johan.
| I am an avid Zack fan, having liked his character development in the earlier days of lookism and the recent few chapters and having questioned my heterosexuality several times (I was saved by jace's future gf). Having read halfway through lookism and having met johan seong, I thought that his character was interesting but... very unsympathetic. I do sympathize with his pain and the stuff he had to go through, but his constant turmoil and questionable actions made me dislike him at first, even going so far as to see him the same way the whole subreddit views jake kim currently. To put it shortly, i always prayed on his downfall each and every fight. Despite this, the changes he went through were more than positive and I'd even go as far as to say, he probably has a better characterization than very early zack and gun. Now, let's get to my first point. GODDOG ARC. his introduction wasnt pleasent for me and the way he treated everyone was also not to my liking. the bit with daniel was very good, but thats just about it. Every misfortune that couldve occured to johan made my day a bit better each time and, sadly, he rarely took any L's except from mid jang. The resolution of him bowling his face out was weirdly satisfying at the time, albeit quite sad now that i know what his purpose for the creation of goddog was. The cornea transplant for his mother. The arc ended and the last thing i remember from him was that olly scammed johan off of a meal, which was pretty funny, considering i hate olly even more than i do johan. ONE NIGHT. this is one of those chapters that made me appreciate johans character. Jace boarding a train and basco not being able to tell him in time who he just boarded a train with (hostel member, jin jangs doll. mary kim is the only one for jace). Aside from johan tripping up that idiot that threatened slim fat daniel and zack, the fact that johan revealed the truth about the girl almost right away was very satisfying. Later on, the fact that johan offered to help jace for one whole day in return for paying olly's lil prank was probably one of my favourite things about the hostel saga overall. Seeing how both operated, im surprised they wouldnt consider each other friends, evem if johan got jealous of jace and vasco. This arc especially showed johans mental condition and that he still acts very childish. the arc ends with the contract ending and johan going to charles choi (mr W's dilemma arc) where charles choi refused johan and told goo to kick johans ass. Goo apparently took a liking to johan and told him he was a worthy opponent for gun. Fast forward, johan joins the white tiger job center. God knows how he joined but i cant ne bothered to read through it so ill skip through it. Somewhere inbetween zack and johan meet again and johan gets cocky and makes fun of zack, which even i have to admit was quite funny. After the fight and johan having started zack lees grand L streak, zack was shocked and on the brink of a breakdown when he realized how johan is slowly turning blind too. the blindness from his mother was hereditary. Third affiliate arc, vivi drolls all over johans d¡ck and jake searches for sinu (drugs). While not much happens at first, johan does get to show his new taekwondo skills he learned from the goat himself, taehoon seong (hidden half brother theory!?). After jake kim uses the power of pay-to-win, joan and jake both get the job as bodyguards and they start to play word chain. little daniel appears and johan just doesnt care while jake takes care of. While they do tveir shenanigans, johan cant help but wonder what daniel meant by "drugs" and if it was connected to his mother's addiction to walter whites pure meth. later in the arc, the third affiliate brings johan in as back up, but because the woman bodyguard is mentally retarded, johan goes off to fuck everyone in his path until he found the fucking top three fighter of the verse: Daniel "jesse" park, high AsF on LSD. After lasting an unwarranted amount of time longer than jackson kimmelle and emmanusameul, he gets fodderozed for the rest of the arc. my end conclusion up to that point was zacks continues L streak and johan possibly going off on his own again- which in fact, did not happen! tom lied and said, he cut all ties with workers, which made me happy for johan, actualy. but that new design of his is not to my liking. fast forward, johans dog is being attacked by fodder of questism. said fodder should've straight up bolted as soon as they sae johan vut whatever. luah lim, the girl who took linemans place, saved the dog and started showing her anti-social rizz. it was very effective. despite such, johan actually didnt act distant, but very kind and thankful! at that moment, my mind suddenly went snap! MAYBE JAKES WISH OF NOT HAVING LEFT JOHAN BEHINd IN THE PAST COULD BE DONE!? with that said, a bit of here and there, johan agreed to help and ally himself with big deal, helping them in taking down the workers that he holds a grudge against. And now, hd reached a point where i can confidentially say: his sudden appearence to save the day was absolutely beautiful and made me root for him. in this perspective, seeing eugene getting beat up by a character that absolutely deserces to do this is perfect. But then it happened... SENIOR MANAGER KIM STOPS JOHAN. they start to fight and with all due respect, i am an avid manager kim stan. but to my surprise... I still rooted for johan. I wont even get into detail, but their fight did their interaction absolute justice. further more, johan THEN proceeding to kick yuseong ass after samuel fucking drove kim almost off a cliff qas even better with copied UI. and then je got captured with smauel and daniel. I hope so much for his return and his new crew, allied. in retrospective and tl;rd: johan roze uo from my least favourite character to one of the best the show has to offer. submitted by FilmAdministrative44 to lookismcomic [link] [comments] |
2023.06.01 16:58 IsiahE4112 My Star Wars Story
I made a character and this sotry for star wars (i made this story for my English finals, i had a month to make it and got an A on it), the characters name is Saya Eban and is a character I have been thinking of for over a decade now (im not in my 2nd decade so since i was super young). Saya at this time is 13-14 years old and was given inspiration by almost all the other jedi and also star killer. He is human and with reliance on the force he can live up to 1000 years with hi peak being between 35, 40 ish to around 800 years of age. In terms of prime power level and potential, in my canon he is 3rd most powerful character just underneath luke and anikan Skywalkers, but could contend with them at some points. Little background: he was a prodigy in school before he became a padawan, he always had an intrest in a character named Ahsoka Tano but never became more than friends because of the Jedi teachings. He was a fast learning youngling and became a padawan earlier than most other younglings, becaming a padawan at the age of 11 - 12. He was in the first battle of Genesis but his troop transport ship was blasted out of the air, landing behind enemy lines leaving him the sole surviver, and scarring him, making him want to never see uneeded bloodshed ever again. He met Count Dooku before he had met Obi-Wan and Anikan on geonosis, he locked blades with him once... once, before he was thrown aside like a house fly, not worth his time, he was out until the retreat of the battle was initiated. This gave him night terrors and nightmares, after this day he could never sleep more than an hour, if that, before he woke up feeling the dark side creeping in. So he had learned to use sleep meditation. Sleep meditation allowed him to accelerate his trainings and connect greater to the force, he had unlocked 1/3 of his life now, the force helping his cells heal his body while he sat and meditated.
This story is of how he lived through one of the bloodiest battles and worst losses of the Republic, the battle of Sarrish, and of how he had obtained his later main star ship, a Kom'rk Mark 1 class star fightetransport, aka the Puro (i made this story before I have watched the 3rd season of the Mandalorian, as of right now i still haven't so Idk if thats in season 3 or not).
There is about 11,340 words in the story, and I don't 100% know of what I should make him look like so have your imaginations run wild.
Ok here we go:
Tales of Saya Eban's Puro
Chapter 1
The battle of Sarrish was one of the worst battles of the Clone Wars, it was a great devastating loss to the Republic and the Jedi, and I was in the middle of it all. Before the battle I was doing some touch-ups on my A-wing Fighter. I had managed to get my hands on a hyperdrive that would fit in my small fighter, although being able to enter hyperspace without an external hyperdrive wing is very convenient, fast, and easy, it does slow my fighter and hinder some mobility, but not an uncontrollable amount of loss. Little did I know it'd save my life later that week. After I had finished my work, gotten it restocked for my next battle, I was called to the Jedi command center for a briefing by Master Yoda, saying it was an urgent mission and I was needed now, with his backwards way of speaking annoying me slightly. In a flash, I had gathered my battle ready loadout and headed off to the command center. When I entered the command center with the center planning table showing starships from both Confederate and Republic sides, One chasing another. I look and see Masters Yoda and Windu and a holoprojected Obi-Wan Kenobi surrounding the Table, with deeply serious thoughts in their eyes, fingers on their concentrating chins. When I swiftly strolled in, I was greeted with Master Windu's cheerful, but serious voice: "Ah, Padawan Eban, good you're here, come quick, we must act with persistence if we want to gain an upper hand in this war." "Master Windu, good to see you, you too Master Yoda, Master Kenobi, what's the situation?" Master Obi-Wan states, "We are currently chasing Separatist forces to the planet Sarrish and we will need some back up, could you bring your part of the 104th battalion right away, we have heavy casualties and they're going to have reinforcements when they reach the planet." "Is there not anyone closer than me, it may take a few days for me to get there, yall mabe finished by the time I get there!" I said with hope in my eyes. "I'm afraid that you're the only one that is available with the most minimal time of arrival, you'll have to be quick though, it will be anytime now they will reach the planet and have reinforcements. we need this win, it will be a great victory for the Republic if we are able to capture the planet." Stated Obi-Wan with certainty. "All other generals are on missions right as we speak, you are the only one that can provide back up at this current time." Master Windu added "Closer to Knight after this mission you will be, great padawan you are, your great swift improvements, Master Plo is pleased with, believe in you I do." Master Yoda said with a jolly old-man voice. "Now go, there's not much time to waste, gather your men and go help Obi-Wan!" Rushedly said by Master Windu. "With determination in my voice, I yell "Yes Masters, right away!" And like a flash, I was gone. As I'm running off, I catch a glimpse of a green swoosh and the sound of a bolt deflection. I stumble to a stop and put my legs in reverse to give curiosity the wheel. When I peer in, I see Master Skywalker and Ahsoka, along with roughly 8 clone troopers all in a circle around Ahsoka and her one blade ignited. Master Skywalker had her eyes welded to her as he walked around the trooper. I could see Captain Rex standing and watching as well, although he seems to be the only one who spotted me poking in my head. He motioned his finger to his lips as to tell me to shush and not interfere, so I watched with anticipation. And after a lifetime stillness ending in a second after Master Skywalker yelled "START!" And stun doughnuts fire from the blasters of the troopers, sending a volley of blue twords Ahsoka from all directions. With great flexibility I pair with, she jumps into the air, spinning like skates on a skate rink in mid air deflecting all incoming plasmic projectiles landing with swift grace ready for more, And more came, she stands in the center blade moving almost faster than what my eyes could keep up with, until that one bolt punches her right in the back, knocking her to the ground, diminishing the blade back into the hilt. I spring into the room, speaking with worry in my voice when I squeak out "Ahsoka! Master Skywalker, what was that!?"
"She was just training deflecting blaster fire, she's going to be outmatched a lot in this war, and clones are better than droids to practice with." Anakin said with pride that she was able to last little over a minute, thats improvement.
"Well I guess you're not completely wrong, but your going to give her a brain injury at this rate! Could you not go a bit easier on her?"
"She'll never learn if I go easy on her." Master Skywalker said with little arrogance in his voice.
"W- well, here, l-let me wake her then." I stuttered as I walked up to Rex holding Ahsoka like he's a pillow.
"Rex, do you mind if I-"
"Not at all General, here." Rex said as I sat next to him holding Ahsoka's top half of her body.
As he caringly sets Ahsoka's rhythmically beating top half in my lap, head facing the heavens, I softly lay my hand over her forehead, close my eyes, and concentrate. A few suspenseful seconds later, I take my hand off and observe Ahsoka's hand softly glide to her now curling forehead, eyes fluttering open.
With a smile I voiced"Wakey Wakey warrior princess, have a good nap?" Smirking the whole time.
"Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes Nicksters." She groaned with fading pain.
"What are you doing here?" She leisurely grumbled as she started to lie propped up by her desirable, fluorescent orange arms made of flexible muscle.
"I was walking by, and saw a 'damsel in distress', I HAD to come and 'save the day'." I joked, smirking the whole time, annoying her little bit more.
"You know I have been dying to use my force heal on you since I had learned it. I bet you don't even feel bad at all right now hm?" I said leaning in
Ahsoka starts to stand as to get a feel for her own body.
"You're right, I feel better than I did before, not bad for someone named Nicks." Ahsoka said smirking right back at me.
"Oh come on, that was one time, that was even before we became patiwans!" I said with little dramatics in my vocal verberations.
"Ok Master, I'm ready to try again." Ahsoka said to Master Skywalker
"Not now Ahsoka, we have a mission from the Jedi council we have to attend to while Obi-Wan is on his own mission." Anikan said to Ahsoka, elongating his 'not' like he usually does
"I'm actually about to go give help to Obi-Wan right now… WHICH I NEED TO GET PREPARED FOR NOW!! Karabast, got to go! See yah Ahsoka, Master, Rex." And like a ship entering hyperspace, I was gone.
Chapter 2
After 2 boring days traveling in hyperspace, me and my 5 Veneter class Cruisers are nearing our destination, this would make 12 Cruisers for the Republic side. A new commander CT'-4112 or Zerek, debriefs on the battle situation. As I had sensed, Obi-Wan was outmatched seeing as backup was on planet Sarrish for the fleeing Separatist ships, now it's 11 Munificent class Cruisers and 2 command stations blockading the planet. Kenobi was starting to be pushed back, relying on our Cruisers longer ranged cannons to hope the Sepies didn't get too close. Our Cruisers have longer ranged main canons and toms of fighter room, while the Sepies Cruisers have more fire power at closer ranges with more fighters than our Vendor class Cruisers, at closer ranges, the Sepies would completely destroy a Venetor class Cruiser, but we have strategies and will power.
"Glad to see a friendly face Saya." Kenobi said exhaustingly.
"Well, it looked like you needed help. You know I need to be the one to save everyone. I'll move into position to fortify our defenses to push the Sepies back and for us to make a plan. What is your fleet's condition?"
"We have 2 Venetors heavily damaged and the rest either have mild to no damage. And we have lost half our fighters as of now." Urgently said by Kenobi.
"Ok, I'm sending men and supplies to you right now, let me take the front so I can take the damage if they send another attack." I calmly said to Kenobi.
"Men battle positions and set all power to front cannons and shields. Venators get into pincer position and get ready for an attack. Fighters get ready to launch." I commanded to all my Cruisers
"Master, if you could, could you add in your undamaged Venetors? " I wandered and directed with much mastery, I even made Obi-Wan himself visually impressed considering my inexperienced mind in life, and especially war. I even managed to make him smile.
"Getting in position now." Obi-Wan stated, still smiling.
"Understood, While you get everything fixed, I'll see if I can weaken their defenses, it seems as if they're in attack positions so we gotta be ready for anything." I said in deep thought.
"Ok, 10 to 13, I like those odds, makes it even, more so for the Sepies." I grinned.
"Now Saya, remember this is still a battle, don't be too cocky, you're starting to remind me of Anakin." Obi-Wan said with conviction.
"Yes Master, sorry about that." I answered to Obi-Wan, pulling back a little.
Just then, many starfighters come from the enemy Cruisers, hundreds of them lightning fast, closing distance fast.
"All right men, time for some fun. Obi-Wan, if you want to take command of my control center, I'll lead this fight." I said before Obi-Wan could respond.
"Ok- but Saya! Blast, maybe he's too much like Anikan." Obi-Wan said defeatedly.
As I get into the hangar I yell "Alright Wolfpack, let's get goin!" Then I hop into my modified Jedi A-wing.
We rush out from the center roof door along the Cruiser with my squadron aka The Wolfpack, with me leading my 23 fighters into battle and many more friendly's following from the hangars.
"Ok Wolfpack, let's make a break for them Cruisers, get as many of them gone as possible. 411 you ready?" I asked R2-411. R2-411 bleeps with readiness.
"Ok, time to blow them out of the sky, remember, stay in formation" I commanded.
"Yes sir!" The Clones bellowed.
Then we hit the swarm with a mighty thundering sound of lasers flying through the emptiness of space seeing one after one of enemy fighter droids dropping all over the place. Me and my Wolfpack fly through all the 2 winged Vulture droids that look like each wing was sideways and has 2 prongs each side for wings. They were way more quick and maneuverable than us, but we had a duty to win, and we won't lose today. It's like a firework show, but you're dodging all the fireworks, and they're aiming right at you. While we are defending the Venator Cruisers, they're mostly firing at the Sepies Cruisers, slowly dwindling their energy shields down.
"Boys, I have a plan, but I'll need yall to get back to the Cruisers." I urged
"Obi-Wan, how's the 2 heavily damaged Cruisers? We've been out for a long while. They should be good by now right?" I questioned Master Kenobi.
"They're about to come back into the fight, but one of our Cruisers is at a quarter shield, few good hits or bombing runs and it's gone, what's your plan Saya?" Obi-Wan said, perplexed.
"Just give me an opening to the left Separatist control center, that's all I need to get on that ship." I stated with confidence.
"I'll try my best, but don't be stupid Saya, we can't afford to lose you."
"Yeah yeah I know, just get me an opening please Master!" I begged.
After the words fleeted from my mouth, all the Cruisers fired a hole through the droid fleet with friendly fighters also making way for me to get through. I blast the afterburners straight through the enemy swarm that's been lesson by the commotion, just barely being hidden by smoke from a just destroyed fighter straight into the leftmost control ship hanger landing with an explosive entry. And immediately I jump out, igniting both, my straight emerald green saber in my left, and my yellow saber with a curved hilt similar to the Count's hilt himself in my right. I'll face him again one day, it's inevitable, like me. I land and immediately cut a group of B1 battle droids heads off with my yellow saber facing out, giving me more reach, but as I start to take fire from the army that quickly form from my landing, I swiftly doge left to right almost able to doge the sight of a human eye. Left, pop goes the heads of 3, right, pop goes 5, jump through the air on an almost straight path through the thick of the army, spinning with a light show if one were to be an onlooker at this chaotic organization of flying red plasmic bolts going to a mix of yellow and green, then proceeding to fly straight back at the shooter with twice the velocity. I land on my feet with a thunderous "BOOM" with what seems like an explosion that incinerates half of the whole hanger with an electric yellow glow seeming like yellow lighting exploded from the epicenter of the explosion. When the smoke cleared, it seemed that everything within a 5 meter radius was completely incinerated, and everything within 40 meter radius was heavily damaged, and any technology within eye shot was either scrape or short-circuiting, but all B1 battle droids and super battle droids were out.
I sighed with relief with little heavy breathing when I looked around me, but with no time to rest, 6 Vulture droid fighters came through the hanger's magnetic shield door, transforming to walk on its pronged wings like they were legs. They scanned me and started raining a flurry of red down onto me, but with my lightning fast reflexes, I raised my sabers to block the incoming hellfire from all six fighter's. Then came the flurry being deflected in any direction possible, and I could just barely see the 6 droids started to surround me by going behind my back, but I ain't done yet. As I'm blocking, jumping, spinning, twisting on a micrometer, I stomp with a mighty force, launching through the air, slowly spinning straight for a Vulture that has became the prey. Bolts whizzing by me, inches, centimeters near my skin, singeing my arm hairs to their roots. I land on top of the droid with a thunderous boom crunching where my foot had landed, driving my sabers straight through the brain of the story high droid, with a counterclockwise rotation around my back, dragging my sabers across the metal of the droid, I leap off the droid landing with the feathers and fly forward with a flashing dash slicing through 2 other droids legs, leaving gravity do its magical job. 3 down, 3 to go, but with little time left. I launch forward running on hairs dipping and dodging blots, I leap up slicing through one leg of a droid and pushing off of its gravity taken hull, coming down on another droid's leg, cutting with ease. I land like a leaf in the autumn skies, and launch with a swift leap, flying my yellow saber straight down the middle of the 6th and final droid with no time to spare.
I land with caution, ready to fend off another foe, but none came at that second, so I took the opportunity and ran with it straight to where the main reactors should lie. I swiftly sprint with force leaps through the air to get to the reactor, the ship is 270th of a circle with a ball where the command center is, the middle is the only connected between the back of the ball and the inner back of the circle, that's where the reactor is, im at the left most side, may take me a minute to reach it, but I can get there without being seen. My plan was to quickly fix and rewrite a Vulture droid's code to go with my command, not going to be the best work but it will work, hopefully. I had to act fast because I knew there were going to be hundreds more droids to come to see the commotion, I'd say within the minute. The codes used on the droids are not the best, because of mass production, so It was an easy fix, I just needed it to fly a small bit. It comes back to life with a putt to its movement, I directed it to start flying while I'm on its back, putting the whole time with smoke, just what I needed. I start to move forward as fast as possible. As we get around the hundreds of battle droids below, I'm starting to speed up, and as I see the reactor room, I could hear B1's yell " HEY! STOP! YOUR GOING TO FAST" in their robotic voice. Before I hit the Shield covering the reactor room, I jump off to the left where the blast door is for the room. With the distraction of the droid smashing into the shield, I use this time to slowly cut through the blast doors with both sabers starting at the bottom of the door, going up and around to form a circle I can fit through. I was through within a Minute, unnoticed, or so I was led to believe. When I get into the reactor room, I throw explosives all over the reactors, with a detonation in T minus 1 minute. I fly out of the room, calling for 411 to bring my ship as fast as possible, 55. Running across the hanger, I'm spotted by the hundreds of battle droids, which immediately start firing right as they see me 50. The explosion of the fighter droid caused a chain to nearby explosive barrels, exploding more Vulture droids causing tons of smoke and fires to spread around the hangar area, 45. As I'm running, my yellow saber is blocking multiple bolts flying at me while I'm jumping, spinning, performing acrobatic movements while being shot by hundreds of droids, from B1's, to super's, to droideka's, all firing at me, adding to the smoke, 35. Running with young blood in my veins, I perform 1, 2, 3 long jumps and leap onto the side of a slanted destroyed Vulture droid, 30. I jump up, reaching for the cloudy sky just as 411 swoops in predictively shoving my hand into the side of the sharp A-wing hull, 25. I grab the side of the hull and pull myself up into the cockpit, grabbing the controls, 20. I spin to the exit with roughly 67° of the hanger I need to shoot out of, I fire the afterburners using the circumference of the circle and my fighters movment to my advantage, 15. Pushing forward, I am drifting an A-wing around the hangar of a Separatist capital ship skimming the walls centimeters away from an explosive fiery death, 10. I barely screamed out of the hanger, to be able to see a view of the capital ship flying stright for the other Sepie capital ship, 5. Im still firing the afterburners to try and attempt to get a safe distance away from the soon to be collision sight, 4. I let 411 take the control's, 3. I turn my head to look back, 2. I see the collision of the 2 270° hangers, 1. I watch as i get the view of a star being formed right infront of my eyes, and seeing many Sepie Cruisers being absolutely engulfed by the flames, and a blast wave decimating the Vulture droids… blast wave…. BLAST WAVE! Just then I'm thrown far, along with the debri. I manged to gain control of the craft and start performing advanced monuvers to avoid being hit by debrie that will demolishe me and my tiny fighter.
"Saya, can you hear me? Saya?" Master Obi-Wan Kenobi pleaded.
"Yeah, yeah master, I'm good, I'm fine. Woo…!" I said with a sigh of relief.
Chapter 3
The explosion had decimated the Separatist forces leaving 4 Cruisers sustaining heavy or mild damages, but with an opening, Obi-Wan and I travel to the ground along with Captain Cody to go for a large ground assault. Master Obi-Wan's plan was to drop in and gather our troops and split them between Obi-Wan and commander Cody. We were west, they were east. The Separatists had the high ground seeing as they had a cliff to their advantage. Flying in on gunships, we were taking heavy fire from their anti aircraft cannons. Commander Cody and I are debriefing the squad on the way to the rally point, seeing gunships after gunship falling to the rocky ground in a fiery explosive ball of red hot metal, and screams, with no plants in sight, just rocks, gunships, and red streaks flying by. Explosions booming right next to us with our doors right open. We have been ordered and ordering troops to stay far away from the mountain top gun fortifying the mountain top of the cliff, leaving that gun for the gunships and the best of the clone troopers, or ARC (Advanced Recon Commandos) troopers to deal with that later, seeing as a ground assault is too dangerous for us. As some of the clones have said, it's not an easy mission, but hops are high.
"30 seconds until landing." A clone trooper yelled to me and Cody.
Cody starts with "All right, listen up! Maintain squad formations, 'A' squad, You're on me-" ZZZZZEEEROW- BOOOM!
"Where hit!" I yell "Everyone! Hold on!"
Before we hit the ground I leap out of the gunship with a backwards somersault, force pulling all the troops out of the burning fireball heading for the ground, grabbing all of the men, including the 2 pilots at the front, breaking through the windows. I land like rain from the sky, catching the troops I just pulled out with my powers and have them roughly land on the fluffy rocks next to our now downed gunship, no casualties yet. I rush over to take cover under our gunship on its left side behind enemy lines. I sit and meditate as they come up with a plan.
"What's the status lieutenant?" Cody asked
"5 injured thanks to General Saya, but that's not that bad news… Does that Rock look familiar?" The lieutenant asked.
"Yea, the mountain, right where we're not supposed to be." Said Cody
"General Kenobi ordered us not to try taking this section from the ground." The lieutenant regenerated back again with what was already established.
"That's what he said…but what would the general do if he were here?" Cody rhetorically asked.
"Saya sir, what do you think?" A trooper asked me somewhat desperately.
"I think Cody should take this one, I've got your back Cody." I answered with my legs crossed, eyes closed, slightly levitating over the rocks.
"Eight-Eight-Six-Seven through Eight-Eight-Six-Nine and Saya, fix your grapples and come with me. Everybody, prepare for covering fire." Cody ordered.
I get up, eyes still shut, ready to block anything coming our way.
"NOW!" Cody yells, sprinting across what is our no-man's-land
I open my eyes, ignite my Sabers, Green in left, yellow in right, and dash towards the now incoming blaster fire. I sense it, left side, block, right side, deflect, one for Cody, deflected. We get to some stalagmites at the bottom of the mountain, sustaining heavy fire, I pose as a distraction for all the fire, deflecting as many blots as I can back at the metal men. One troop trips and falls, pow, bolt straight through the head. Cody and the men shoot the grappling hooks up towards the top of the mountain and start climbing. I jump from my spot reigniting my sabers, driving them through the mountain side, helping me grab hold with my feet. And when I look up, I see a grapple fall behind me. I tried to grab the rope but I was too late. When I managed to obtain it, he had already hit the ground. Another tragedy, one that never had to happen, life being wasted away. I look up, a droid stairs emotionlessly down into my emotion filled eyes. A blue bolt shoots past me, impacting the droid's head, sending the body backwards.
Cody and the other clone rises from the cliff side as I leap up from the side, landing in front of the clones and immediately start deflecting with my 2 sabers having nothing pass. Cody takes this opportunity to run around my defense and attacks the droids head on, bashing one droid with the butt of his rifle and swinging his rifle at another, destroying both of them. The droid manning the anti aircraft gun turns and aims at Cody. Instinctively I jump in front of the cannon as it fires, I deflect the large bolt away with my right yellow saber, knocking my body to the right, making me stumble. But with the motion throwing me to the right, I use the momentum to throw my green saber with my left hand, impaling the droid in the metal chest. Cody then hops onto the turret, points the gun at the droids firing at our men, and lets loose, destroying all in its reticle.
"Thanks General, I owe you one, ill getcha next time." Cody said slowly getting off the turret.
"You're alright my friend, just pay it forward, let's go see how Obi-Wan did." I slightly worried, staring off to the north.
We group up at the randevu, where we have set base camp on the planet in a small raven a bit away from where we captured the cliff with some makeshift scouting towers dotted around our position. Obi-Wan had more resistance than what he had anticipated, he was a little banged up, but he was fine in the end. This was a huge victory seeing as we have been able to set base on a planet that allows us to get resources through this hyperspace route and onto parts of the army past this point. Before, General Grievous snipped our route to where we couldn't get resources to our army on the other side from Coruscant.
Chapter 4
12 hours later, we have rested and have managed to build up a good base incase of a surprise attack. We are still fighting a few fronts of Separatist holdouts with a fortress a few klicks west, or about 4 miles west.
I sit in my tent meditating, reflecting back on the weeks events, and what Ahsoka was doing back at the temple, training hard. I recite what I did with an almost overwhelming amount of blaster fire attempting to fly into me, how I was just mostly averting the blots away from me and not in a direction that would benefit me most.
'RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE'
The ground started to shake out of nowhere, breaking my peace. I rush out of my tent, only to be met with a face full of B2 battle droid. I jump back over my tent flipping onto my feet as I see my tent being lit into flames from heavy bolt fire flying at me. Igniting both my sabers, I deflect the incoming fire away from me up into the sky as much as I physically could. I took a glance around, it was becoming more sunlit as we fought. It was a slaughter, clones dying left and right, Kenobi was on the Command ship getting patched, so it was just me, and the clones down here, being manicured. With a swift right step, I change lightsaber form, combining my form 3, (defensive form blocking anything coming way, and either making, or waiting for an opening to strike) with a combination of form 2 (saber to saber form, putting least amount or saber movement and preferring precise efficient movements) and form 4 (saber from using the force to enhance physical abilities, and heavily utilizing fast acrobatic movements to move around and disorient the opponents, using wide sweeping saber movements to block and hit targets) I use the power if the many bolts to propel my body onto my right leg, crouching down and taking a huge lead in to the air. Looking around like it is moving in stop motion, I see thousands of droids around, completely outnumbering my men. Glancing down where I had jumped from, there seems to be a super battle droid rising from the ground, looking as if it has been there for at least a few days. Time seems to start like normal again, immediately I have to block bolts coming for my body, twisting, turning, deflecting every. single. bolt. right to another droid. I can't have any more unneeded deaths in my hands. I land with an impactful explosion of yellow lighting, rendering half of the electronics on the field obsolete. Shots fire over the wall, exploding near me.
"Everyone, Retreat!" I yelled into the comms.
I ran towards the lieutenant that I had survived the crash with, he was running for a troop transport.
"Get to the ships, return to the Venators! Get Kenobi and relay what has happened!" Urgency blowing through my voice.
I push him into the ship as it takes off. As it's doing so, I force push it away from the field as to be in less danger of being shot down. But rockets fly through the air, I reach through the force and grab onto the hurdling death traps, I grab 1, 2, crash them into one another, 3, grab, 4, grab, 5, miss. ERRROW… BOOOM! With a hopeless explosion, the ship bursts into an explosive ball of fire, right in front of my eyes, out of my grasp. Shots fly past my head from behind me, I ignite my sunlit yellow saber to block incoming bolts. No men, only metal remains, and it wants me dead. I dash for my ship on the other side of the airstrip, luckily barely touched from this horrible surprise party that invited everyone I very much dislike. Hopping into my A-wing, I lift-off dogging left, right, up, down, roll left, roll right, barely being passed by on all sides by cannon fire. When I reach the point past the clouds, there's a whole war above. Separatist forces have surprised Kenobi with an overwhelming number of ships, putting our war torn 12 Venators against 16 Munificent class Cruisers. We were greatly out matched. But the time I was in space we had lost 3 Vectors compared to there 1 lost. Droids noticed me coming from the planet and started to verge onto my position.
"Obi-Wan! You there? Can you hear me?" I yelled, pulling evasive maneuvers.
"Saya, is that you?" Kenobi asked.
"Yes, we got surprised on the ground, seems the same happened here." I rushingly said.
"Yes, they came out of nowh-" Kenobi is cut off by a blaring siren from my cockpit.
"Wait, my ship is damaged, it's starting up my hyperdrive, 411 can you fix it?" I said dipping left and right while trying to stop the hyperdrive activation.
With a few bleeps of fear, I understand what's happening.
"When I was thrown from the capital ship explosive wave, I must have been hit near the hyperdrive, and explosions from my escape, along with the maneuvers I have been pulling, it may have caused damage that is registering a hyperdrive activation. Master Obi-Wan, I don't know, I-I don't know what to do!" I claimed with fear in my eyes.
"Can you deactivate the hyperdrive at all 411?" Kenobi asked
411 bleeps with a sad toon.
"Blast, Saya, does it say where you're going?"
"N- No, my council just says ERROR." I stated, now with much fear in my voice.
I managed to steer my craft into the position of the hyperspace lane.
"Tell Ahsoka good bye if I don't-" I get cut off when the the hyperdrive powered up woth a vvvvvvvvvvvVVVVERRRRRRR PEEOW, and just like that, me, my A-wing, and R2-411, are gone.
Chapter 5
It's been days since the battle, mabe 2 or 3 days. Luckily I always keep many ration bars in my fighter to last me a good few days, along with my extra water and my ability to go into a deep meditative state, conserving food and water. Keeping me company is my meditation and 411. We have almost hit some unknown objects, could have been planets, asteroids, other ships, but we seem to be staying in hyperspace lanes luckily, or I would have been dead a long time ago. My class 2 hyperdrive could have taken me all over the galaxy by now, I could be heading towards Coruscant right now for all I know.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
My hyperdrive warning kicked on, showing that there is a massive gravity force in my path. The console flashed with big red dangerous letters "Exiting Hyperdrive" on the screen.
"YES! FINALLY!" I yelled with excitement.
I watch through the glass to see a barren looking planet, and a similar looking moon, a moon I was heading to. I was moving fast, as I entered the moon's atmosphere, Im grabbing the controls, barely anything. My craft is red hot from the rate at which I'm coming in on. I'm grabbing the stick, pulling back as much as I can, as to try and save myself and 411 from a fiery death. I scraped by a big rocky mountain dealing more damage to my A-wing.
"HOLD ON 411!"
"Come ooooon. Pull pull pullllll…. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!-" VERRROW BOOOOSH!!! The crash landing sounded like a bomb flying through the air, then landing on its target. I try to get from my seat just to find my strap and window will not open. Using my saber I cut off my seat strap and broke the window from the hinges and leaped out, taking 411 from the craft, swiftly landing on a tall mountainous rock. The craft seemed to have pushed through the land 50 meters from the initial impact spot. The area I was in seemed to be very rocky terrain with many rocky canyons and huge rocks that are almost mountainous. The sun was close to setting down for the night but was still a good hour away from sleeping.
With the force by my side, I felt a very uneasy sensation telling me to stay out of sight. I duck down on the tall skinny rock taking 411 down with me. 411 confusingly bleeps when I do so. "Hey, I have a feeling right now, just keep quiet real quick, there's somebody coming. Trust me." Me and 411 peer over the edge looming over my crashed ship just as a group of 6 men in full armor covering their whole body fly in with jetpacks strapped to their backs, blasters in hand. As they land, they search around my wreckage, presumably looking for survivors. One seems to be ordering the others around, pointing at one to look in one direction, another a different direction, and scanning around for the unexpected visitor. I look down at my Wrist link, my distress signal wasn't sent, I guess that was damaged from entering the planet at such high speed with no deflector shields surrounding the ship like a protective blanket.
"Blast, 411, what's your S.O.S signal situation, did it go through?" 411 beeps with a little drama like I should know it didn't go through.
"Well sorry for busting your rusty bolts you rowdy rancor, better to try than to just give up mister sassy pants. Maybe I should wipe your memory for a change, see how you like it."
"Now shush, don't want them to find us spying on them, won't look too good." I demand. "Now here, in case we get caught, I don't want them to know I'm a Jedi, so here, take my sabers, I'm not gonna need them anyways." I said shoving my lightsabers into 411's storage compartment and looking towards the crash again.
Just then the suit of armor that had been commanding his squad bursts up into my view right on my face out of hyperspace blue.
"Ah, found ya trespassers, you 2 are coming with me." Demanded the Mandalorian with a snickering sound in his voice as the others rise from the portal of the abyss from down below.
It was a good thing my ropes where in the tent back on Sarrish, or this may have been an even worse situation, Mangalorians like them hate Jedi with a passion, and it's a good thing I always have a broken blaster in 411 for any cases where I need to blend in with a crowd or pose as a normal civilian; although, the ability to become a civilian at any point is great, I've had little need to do so much. I'm quite popular with the people for being one who tries to connect with the population as a fellow citizen. So I rarely stay in the temple for too long. I love being with the people and learning skills without the force, like being a mechanic, electrician, public speaker, security guard, an all around great person to talk with about anything. I'm quite known on all levels of Coruscant for being one of the most friendly Jedi to be around. Right now though, I need to focus on not being caught, at least That's what my gut is telling me. After they searched my character for any weapons and found the broken blaster that 411 had put in my holster where my lightsaber usually is, they were satisfied and pushed us into one of their big Kom'rk Mark 1 class Mandalorian starfightetransport ship.

2023.06.01 16:57 pragustina All-rounders that don't get opportunities at being all-rounders
My category of all rounder is vocals, dance and rap. This post was inspired by ATEEZ's Jongho, Hongjoong and BTS' Jungkook.
We've all seen all-rounders in K-Pop, groups without fixed positions etc. etc. but today I'm gonna be talking about that don't get to showcase it often or are often forgotten.
I've seen all-rounders get dance, rap and vocal parts like Blackpink's Jennie, Dreamcatcher's Dami, ITZY's Yeji, Stray Kids' Han and Bang Chan TXT's Yeonjun, P1Harmony's Jiung and ONEUS' Leedo (he doesn't get talked about much he's one of those who has got a lot of opportunities to showcase it so I'll him here) but this post is about not those all rounders who don't get talked about but it actually about who don't show it much.
If that explanation was complex, let me explain with examples:
- P1Harmony's Keeho: He's an amazing vocalist and he shines in the vocal scene. He's also a great dance and he's able to showcase both in their discography but there isn't much rapper Keeho content out there. MAN CAN RAP Maybe he might've got a rap part in the debut album but the point is, he doesn't rap often (which is understandable because there's literally Jongseob and Intak in the same group)
- BTS' Jungkook: What I've noticed is that a lot of new armys don't know that Jungkook has rapped in their older discography and has(had??) an official rap position of sub-rapper but we don't get to see it much (which is again understandable cause BTS rap line>>>>) Not saying he's underappreciated but just saying that there's a reason he's called a golden maknae.
- ATEEZ Jongho: This may be a maknae thing but similar to Jungkook Jongho also has the main vocal position in the group. The only difference is that Jongho has never rapped in any of ATEEZ's discography so I gotta rely on stuff like this for rapper Jongho. I'm
waiting when curious if atinytwt will have a complete breakdown when we get official rapper Jongho. - ATEEZ Hongjoong: Kinda the inverse of Jungkook's case, Hongjoong had vocal parts during the initial days and he does it pretty well ofc not at the level of the other vocalists of the group but it's still impressive. He's got a few cover on the official YouTube channel. (Sure he's talked about but it's hard to give a rapper vocal parts in a group like ATEEZ with 6 vocalists)
- ATEEZ's Seonghwa: I promise you this isn't any propaganda to
join and overthrow the strictland government convert y'all into atinys but Seonghwa's rap from still here legit made me listen to it so much, it was my most listened song of 2022 on spotify. He also rapped in be my lover (if you blink you'll miss it but still... I wanted to mention) and Hongjoong said Seonghwa is pretty much a rap line member (I need to check my source for this) so I love me some rapper Seonghwa. - Seventeen's Woozi: Man can dance, rap, sing, produce, legit everything- If Woozi wasn't in the vocal unit, he could've joined the performance or rap easily. Actually a lot of the Seventeen members feel like all-rounders (Hoshi, Joshua, DINO, The8).
- LESSERAFIM's Yunjin: Time to state the obvious, she's my bias in lesserafim. I LOVE HER VOCALS and her stage presence+ performance abilities never disappoint me. I'm not if this counts as rap but I'd love to see more rapper Yunjin.
There's prolly an entire list off Girl group members as well but I don't know much about ggs. I've often seen Mamamoo's Moonbyul and Aespa's Giselle get mentioned but I don't think they'd fit in the category I'm looking for or I just need to stan more ggs.... idk...
On a side note, I've never heard NCT/WayV's Kun rap but man has a pilot licence and a lot talents so even tho he doesn't really fit in this post I just wanted to give him some appreciation
because he's prolly done everything and is prolly good at it too! On a similar note it feels like Sakura from LESSERAFIM has had like so many lives/occupations/jobs Idk what to say.... everyday I learn something new about her.
Feel free to mention your favs too <3

2023.06.01 16:56 Company-Boss Avoiding Addiction/Dependence
So as above. I like kratom but last year I went through full-blown withdrawals and it was the most terrifying feeling I ever experienced. Restless legs, heart arrhythmia, very heavy depression, lost about 11 kg in 2 months.
I kept adding up and up until at 10 grams of red MD I start having panic attacks, especially at nights so it turned quickly into being terrified of the next nights. So I have an addictive personality and I went to another - alcohol. It is a whole another story so I won't bother you about how bad alcohol addiction was aside with kratom + dependence and yes it is a difference when you actually need it to function.
Quit for about 2 months and in February I took 3 grams and felt ok. So I now dose once a week and it is most of the time on Sundays when already feel nervous and stressed out about work the next day (it is really shitty work). I take 7 - 11 grams every Sunday just to soothing out the anxiety and stress and try to enjoy rest of the weekend. Kratom is helping me extremely with anxiety and back pain (it is sometimes real strugle just to bend for something).
My questions are:
Will I become addicted or I am now?
Do I need to take it with less frequency?
How much does it actually take to become dependent (is it because i kept adding up last time?)
Do you recommend taking larger breaks from it or quitting it entirely? Will people actually see this post??? About tired when it comes to review

2023.06.01 16:55 Key_Contribution_859 Whats 10 caps of p.sub equal in grams?
Hey folks,
Excuse my ignorance.. ive just started taking a peak into this world.
A local dealer is selling 10 caps of p.sub (im not yet sure what he means by ‘cap’.. would you know?) for about 100 AUD (roughy 100 usd).
Would you know roughly how many grams would that be assuming that its 10 mushrooms.
I have never tried psilocybin before and im really keen on trying it to help curb my declining mental health.
I live in Victoria, Australia. I have spent many hours so far looking for it but with no luck.
Thanks

2023.06.01 16:54 Previous-Fun-4152 How I hit Master Rank on just my 4th day playing!
| Games played = 146 Win Rate = 60.2% To start I feel I should let you guys know I came into this game with years of moba experience mainly with league of legends. Ive hit master rank in LoL PC and grand master on LoL wild rift a few years ago. Downloaded and started playing the game three days ago. Got hooked immediately. I have an addictive personality so l've been going pretty hard and will be taking a break for a few days now lol. Played all my games solo but it was still a really enjoyable experience most of the time. Surprisingly though I found the quality of games got worse the higher I climbed. A lot more trolls/ego's causing pointless chaos. Now for the tips I have for other new players trying to climb ranked The biggest tip I have is to 1 trick I suggest sticking to one character as often as possible. Ideally a high tier character AND one you enjoy. I’ve always loved Charizard and he’s one of the better characters but is by no means S tier. So don’t worry too much about tier lists. But definitely try not to pick a character with a poor win rate unless they have a high skill ceiling. Besides that it really is just the classic moba rules - learn matchups/counter-play
- don’t tilt - be consistent
- be locked in early
- always ask yourself what you could do better game to game
- play easy meta characters when your mechanics are off
- only fill in holes if your team roles are severely under balanced
- never give up
- watch mini map constantly
- always be on time for team fights/obj’s
- don’t greed
- identify high priority targets/carrys for both teams game to game
- almost always fight when you have number advantage
- steal enemy jungle camps and deny xp
The only other huge tip I have is to learn how to last hit. Especially Rayquaza. ALWAYS TRY TO STEAL RAYQUAZA. You can win many games you have no business winning. ALSO sometimes the best offense is a good defense! If you’re up 5 circle things to 3. You don’t have to risk dying trying to score. Just keep farming experience and extend your xp lead while defending your zones. Keep defending and farming until obj team fight time. Make sure to have your unite move in those moments. submitted by Previous-Fun-4152 to PokemonUnite [link] [comments] |
2023.06.01 16:51 Queen_ona_Bean Undiagnosed heart issues + other symptoms (24F)
Sorry this is gonna be thorough. I have had a history of increased heart rate (HR) with no changes in blood pressure.
24F ; 187lbs ; 165cm
Medications: bisopropol, prazosin, norethisterone
Here is the history:
Nov 2019: presented to hospital after serious right tibial plateau fracture requiring 5 surgeries. Was held for 2 weeks + a couple days presenting with excessive HR (130-170 at rest even during sleep). Did ecg, bloods and blood clot tests to rule out major causes. Was told it was most likely an interaction between medication (quatiapine and something else)and general anxiety. Only took this as needed and only twice during my stay.
Mid Feb 2020: presented to hospital with abscess and suspected osteomyelitis after complaining about pain and swelling in unrelated area far from surgery site. Removal of large area of tissue in leg and aggressive course of 24h IV antibiotic for month or 2? Unsure if high HR was present here.
2020-2021: Health good, HR good though occasional surgeries to help with leg.
2022: began presenting with elevated HR, crazy weight gain and a lot of fluid buildup. Fingers/toes/legs would swell often. Resting rate (~120-170) wake up in hot sweats and heart pounding. When exercising HR (170-190+). Drowsy, tired, light headed and sometimes nauseous. Symptoms were looked into but nothing came back abnormal apart from HR. Doctors elected to put on 2.5mg Bisopropol which helped with HR though sometimes would not.
2023-present: Am still presenting with high HR, palpitations, lethargic, weakness, swelling of legs/ankles/toes/fingers but new symptoms as well. I often feel weak in my joints, my veins in my arms hurt, pain similar to the first time I got the bone infection and abscess, and feverish. I especially feel terrible on days where I have not slept well or little sleep. Increased medication to 5mg bisopropol.
Tests and results: ECG (many): normal apart from high HR specially when changing elevation but can appear without change.
Echocardiogram: all within normal ranges, volumes normal, no abnormalities.
Holter monitor: no traces of abnormal rhythm though fluctuations between HR during day.
X-ray of leg: no signs of osteomyelitis.
Blood tests: all normal and within healthy ranges. No signs of lupus, thyroid or kidney disfunction, no signs of anti leuccocyte antibody, negative for autoimmune issues, negative for rheumatic disease, normal haematology. Lower rates of b-12 but within normal ranges 281 pmol/l (135-650).
Only issues that have been tested twice that have come back abnormal are:
2 months ago:
Bicarbonate 18mmol/l (22-32) C reactive protein: 9.6mg/l (0.0-5.0)
Now:
Bicarbonate 19mmol/l (22-32) Anion Gap: 21mmol/l (10-20) C reactive protein: 11.2mg/l (0.0-5.0)
I am in need of advice. Most of the doctors I go to have given up and just placed me on the meds to moderate it. I am too young for these issues (24) and am frustrated that although tests come back normal other things are being ignored. I feel like I am being dismissed. Have appointment finally with cardiologist in August. If anyone has any hunches or can tell me some tests to suggest to doctors I would highly appreciate it. Also have blood test results and such if other figures are important. Thanks

2023.06.01 16:47 LimpDickstick How does the VA combine back conditions?
Question is in the title. Essentially I was told that I have multiple issues with my back which I am now filing a claim to the VA for to include slipped/bulging disks throughout spine (C spine through L spine), arthritis in lumbar, bony growth on L spine, multiple sections of spine with stenosis, scoliosis in lower cervical upper thoratic, DDD in C,T and L spine, c5/c6 disk bulge pushing into spinal cord and pinching nerve. How would these combine and how do I best go about filing a claim for these?

2023.06.01 16:45 AnimeUwUBakaGurl AirPods Pro left AirPods keeps stopping charging
Hi,
My left AirPods Pro keeps stopping the charging. Let’s say I am using my AirPods normally - their battery is going down as it should. I put my AirPods after I’m done Im putting the AirPods into the charging case I see it is charging. Then I close the lid and either it immediately stops charging the left AirPods or after about a few minutes the AirPods Pro (L) appears in my battery widget as not charging. I tried cleaning the case with a cotton swab but it only worked for a about an hour. Any suggestions?

2023.06.01 16:40 GalaxiGazer Thank you for being my stepping stone
Dear you,
Your active participation in my life has ceased but the universe still has some usefulness to me. Instead of being angry and grieving over things (finally) running their course, I'm going to confront those lessons that I can still learn from you. Yes, this definitely hurts right now. But I'd rather go through this pain and learn from you right now during my remaining months in 2023. That way, when those fireworks pop off to welcome in 2024, I will have successfully left you behind me.
I will confess to you that the underlying reason why I had been in denial about you was because I was afraid that you were my "last chance" at being able to find anybody and having a real relationship. I had to fortunate experience to be able to have spent those few months with you in person and doing my best to really get to know you. As soon as you had told me, "I landed in Dallas", I knew FOR SURE that I would never hear from you again. Well, two years later, here we are. Still not a word from you. I was afraid that I would never have another chance of meeting a real guy and the both of us mutually putting in the effort towards a real relationship. Well, now I can finally confront that fear. I'm turning 40 next year, and rather than freaking out over facing the next 20 years without having a man in my life, I'm actually looking forward to those things that I can accomplish and the future lessons that I'll be learning. I'm no longer scared about turning into a "crazy cat lady" (although, spending many evenings full of love from my feline friends seems
less crazy than being blocked and ghosted from my 3,592,344th "love of my life" and wondering why he's not calling me back) and seeing my future as a spinster. You have left a mark in my life and when I do get to share with others about you in my future (30 years or so), I will have no problem telling them, "
Oh, yes! There was this gentleman I had met in my late 30's. We were the best of friends and I enjoyed getting to know him. He went into the military and for years during his deployment, I believed that he was going to come back ..." before I get to tell them the real and how I used that experience to make me into a better and stronger woman. I'll try my hardest not to laugh as I get asked the question, "
Well, have you heard from him? How's he doing?" You can best believe that I'll have my own story to tell. But, yes, I want to thank you for pushing me to confront my fear and realizing that growing older alone is really not something to be scared about or afraid of.
I want to thank you for helping me to confront my fear(s) of not being wanted, desired, pursued, valued, chosen, and held in high regard by a respectful man. Sure, I've mastered the art of turning down and walking away from all the wrong kinds of men. But what about facing each day without the
right kind of guy wanting to be with me? How would I handle myself without my phone ringing and my chat requests filling up with the right kind of guy actually wanting to take the time to get to know me? How would I be able to overcome knowing that other women are being courted, pursued, and married by quality men who desire and value commitment as I'm consistently overlooked? I'm facing all of that now and using it to dig deeper into myself to uncover those hidden issues that I used to believe that dating and being pursued by the right kind of guy would fix up for me. I'm handling myself, my own issues, as well as my own life without the need to be defined by having the right kind of guy paying me attention. Had it not been for things with the both of us eventually burning out, I wouldn't be in this position to pursue a deeper level of healing.
I want to thank you for having been my teacher and showing me what not to do in order to have a healthy relationship. Your decision to cut off all contact with me taught me the value of communication in a relationship and how important it is for both parties to talk to each other as well as understand each other. Your having told me, "I love you" with your words while your actions betrayed you showed me that saying "I love you" could mean 3,276,336 different things and that those words are often spoken carelessly by those who have the least understanding as to what "love" actually means. Your placing distance between us showed me that a real and true relationship encourages openness, closeness, and a safe place where both people accept each other. Your fucking yourself up by choosing the wrong MOS because you were just so eager to leave showed me that it's important to confront and heal from the pain of the past and it does no good to hide and run away from it. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. I want to thank you.
From this day moving forward, I dedicate this (
https://youtu.be/Wmc8bQoL-J0) to your memory. Until I am blessed to wake up with no remembrance of you, I shall use your memory as a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly stepping stone needed in order to level up my life, to rise and conquer.
~ Me
P.S. ~ by the way, your beloved Megan fucked you when she nagged and bitched you out until you decided to move out here to the SW. If she was really your queen, your better half, she should have kept your ass in New York.

2023.06.01 16:34 0gravitea [F4A] Thriller + Romance
Hello!! I’m Mina. I’m currently looking for a partner. I adore horror and dark romance themes, so I would like someone with similar interests!
About me:
I’m 23, so I’m looking for partners who are around my age. No minors please!
I also write exclusively in 3rd person, so I would prefer people who also do the same. I really don’t like “i” or “you”, so we might not be compatible if you use these POVs for writing!
I only write female characters, sorry!! I am okay with writing all genders of side characters though! I would like my partner to write a male or masculine aligned character.
My writing length varies, but you’ll always get around 2-3 paras from me, so I would like a similar response length. I love romance, SoL, adventure/action, fantasy themes. I also write on discord!
Themes and Plots:
Themes I love: Horror, unstable romance, power dynamics, stockholm syndrome, eldritch entities, yakuza, gods and goddesses, monsters, one-sided love, love triangles, hanahaki-like themes, yandere, opposites attract, otome games, etc.
Plot ideas, with my character being A and yours B:
- A store owner (character A) gets a customer (character B) who seems to be getting too close to the owner, knowing their schedule, constantly bumping into each other, so one and so forth. People keep disappearing from the owner’s life ever since this customer stepped into it…
- A prince (character B) finds themselves falling for a princess (character A) who lives in the kingdom next over, but happens to be engaged to another. The prince stops at nothing to get rid of his love’s partner, and does anything to woo the princess.
- A girl (character A) finds herself in the same situation every life she lives. Every time she is resurrected, she finds herself getting chased by some person (character b) she doesn’t love.
- A cruel god (character b) just has to have a girl (character a) they happened to meet when they were on the mortal plane…
Some other things I would love to write are: Good Girl (A) x Bad Guy (B), Fan (A) x Idol/Celebrity/Band Member, Civilian/Innocent (A) x Mafia (B), Priestess (A) x Demon (B), Angel (A) x Demon (B)
Fandom Prompts/What I’m currently into:
- BNHA: I typically write as Ochako! I adore rarepairs with her, and I have a soft spot for ABO AUs, fantasy AUs, and most AUs honestly! I have been craving a scenario as ocha as a princess and a knight who has a one-sided crush on her, and we could build a romance around that, and have them traveling together or something. I also write as Nagant as well!
- Pokemon: I have been wanting to write Hilda and Sabrina! I would love to write about Hilda and N reuniting and choosing to travel together, and having the two of them slowly fall in love. With my interpretation of Sabrina, I would like someone who maybe challenges her psychic abilities or tries to coax her out of her comfort zone.
- Miraculous Ladybug: I would love an AU, or even an OC setting!
I also am up for other fandoms! I know a bit but not a lot, my era is really 2010’s anime and magical girl shows!
If you’ve made it this far, please tell me your age, which plot you liked most, and what your favorite color is! If you have plots of your own that kinda vibe with mine as well, i’d love to hear them!

2023.06.01 16:28 Mklu333 My (23f) husband (28m) wants a divorce… I think
Well, I never thought I would be one to put all my personal business onto an online platform for judgement, but here it goes....this is a long one!
My husband and I got married in 2021 during the pandemic. It was a pretty fast marriage. We met at a work training event in May of 2020, and got married in February of 2021. He was moving overseas and we didn't want to be apart. We had an instant connection when we met, and although we were going into a long distance relationship, we spoke basically daily on the phone. We worked around the time zone difference and one another's work/social life schedules. It was difficult at times, especially since he had just moved overseas. I stayed back when he initially moved because I had pets prior to the marriage and had to arrange for their moving services as well. I moved overseas and it was rocky in the beginning, much like we picked up from where we left off on our phone talks. His job was a lot more stressful than mine was. Naturally household things started to fall more and more on my shoulders and it started to become too much. I already made dinner every night, and did all of our laundry, but it got to a point where I felt straight up disrespected. We would have a talk about how I need help around the house, then immediately after the talk he would make himself a snack and destroy the kitchen. Or take a shower and leave water & his dirty clothes in the floor. Or just come home from work and leave his stuff everywhere. There were a lot of arguments and talks about different methods we could try to ensure we were both happy with the work life balance. Eventually it resulted in him saying I was too controlling and he was free spirited. Or my "OCD" (I am not diagnosed with OCD) is crazy and over the top. He would tell me he shouldn't have to pick his stuff up right away and that it isn't as big of a deal as l am making it. I tried to back off and give him time to pick up his things, and not ask him to do things around the house, but for the whole week the house was absolutely disgusting. The trash was piled up, his laundry was everywhere, dishes were everywhere, trash was spread across the house. It was just not working out, and I gave up and started doing everything on my own again. He started secluding himself quite a bit. There were some nights where we would only say a handful of words to one another, usually after I would make dinner. Around this time he started drinking quite a bit as well, and that became something I told him I wasn't comfortable with, as my parents were alcoholics (as were his) growing up. Having a beer or two here and there is one thing, but having two-three a night with a glass of whiskey or two, on top of his well known stress and signs of depression was concerning to me. We had a lot of ups and downs, we started therapy, and he was diagnosed with depression. It wasn't really shocking, but it was affirming.
A few things had happened that I had set a boundary about (not cheating), and I moved back to the states for a few months so I could have the opportunity to heal. We really took therapy seriously during this time and saw a therapist multiple times a week for 3-4 months. Once I returned back overseas it all picked up again. It was good for a little while, but after about a month or two we were basically back to where we started. We had improved drastically in how we communicated, but it didn't really improve the issues. It was still as if we would talk and we might as well never had that conversation because nothing would change.
Fast forward to now. In therapy, divorce was mentioned a few times, and we had agreed (with the therapist) that we would not mention divorce unless that is what we really wanted. It is common in relationships that it is used as a threat, and we were 100% guilty of that in the beginning of our marriage. Everything has been going relatively good recently, and for long time, essentially since we have been in therapy (August of 2022), we have not mentioned divorce. We are struggling with our sx life, and have been for a long time. I have a super high drive, but my husband really could care less about sx, at least throughout our relationship. I mean, we have gone 2 months without having sex. And that is not uncommon for us. Anytime I bring it up he tells me that I make him feel bad about himself when I ask, and he is just stressed out. I just feel like there is always an excuse... anyhow, yesterday he asked if we could talk. He told me that I stress him out. When I asked him how, he said he cannot pin point a reason why, and that he isn't happy in our marriage and that he thinks he isn't right for anyone. We haven't had any major fights recently, but I knew this was coming. I have felt like things have been off for a majority of our marriage.. despite therapy and the endless talks we have had on how to better our relationship.
Today, he has asked to talk again and is acting surprised that I am making plans to go back to the states already. He asked if I could stay for awhile before we file for divorce. Or if I would want to go back to the states and wait on him to come back to the states and see where we can go from there (he is moving in about 6 months). I feel like it was a hard “don’t say it unless you want it" boundary. Should I have been more clear when setting that boundary, or was it obvious since it was discussed multiple times? I feel like he wants me to beg him to stay… Any opinions are appreciated.
