It's so weird how a good chunk of the people who like Clyde say that him not being that curious in Hopes isn't a huge deal, when I distinctly remember how Claude was given a lot of flak in the fandom for trying to get to Jeralt's dairy the way he did. Which he only did... because he was curious...
Claude also was fed a lot of information about the Church from Solon, who was trying to make Claude more antagonistic towards it. Which could only work... if Claude is very curious...
And he'd has thoughts about a world without Rhea, but ultimately never goes through with it because he knows she's holding a lot of important information that should be revealed. Which he'd only care about... if he were curious...
There's also how Claude came to Fodlan in large part because he wanted to see the other side of his heritage. Which would be him only being involved in the game at all... because he is curious...
Nevermind the whole drive of his route being to discover secrets - TWSITD, Rhea, Byleth, the Nabateans, Nemesis. With that all being pushed... by his curiosity...
Him never talking to Dimitri before invading him (and him invading Dimitri in the first place), him not caring about what Rhea's hiding, him not really questioning Her Majesty and why she wants them to join forces (enough to actually affect his decisions anyway), all have huge impacts on GW's plot, and they ALL hinge on Clyde being completely uncaring about learning anything new. GW's Part 2 can't happen at all if Clyde is even remotely as curious as Claude ever was at any point in 3H, but people are so willing to brush it off as if it doesn't matter.
I think what gets lost of the time is one of those most interesting things about Claude, and, fuck, even Dimitri: their greatest asset is their biggest flaw. For Dimitri, it's his empathy, which makes him a fair ruler and a good friend. It also made him negligent of himself and, for a period of time, cruel to his friends.
Claude is curious, and at times it can be to a fault.
Like you point out, he's pretty crass about getting the diary after Jeralt's death. He's not callous about Byleth's grief, per se, he's just got other priorities. Which is the perfect character flaw for someone with the positive traits he has. Claude was flawed and nuanced long before Hopes was even hinted at. He was funny, he was determined, he was kindhearted. He was also singleminded, out of touch, and secretive (for good reasons, but secretive nonetheless).
Just as empathy is the cornerstone of Dimitri's character, curiosity is the cornerstone of Claude's. Any rendition of him with that quality stripped away is one that doesn't understand him at all.

Have you ever stalked another blog? If so, why? (I.E: Quality of their writing? The MUN just seemed like a nice person? etc.), Favorite blogs & favorite threads. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
( guilty as charged; accepting! )
Tumblr media
Have you ever stalked another blog? If so, why? (I.E: Quality of their writing? The MUN just seemed like a nice person? etc.)   
          listen — i lurk on here more often than i’d like to admit because i have a terrible case of fomo, so you bet your ass i stalk blogs to catch up on content i might have missed and see if they replied to an ask or thread just in case tumblr didn’t notify me. i don’t read a lot of my partner’s other threads, but i do like to keep up with headcanons/lore whenever i can so i can keep up with development and my interest in their muse . if the mun is a close friend/ship partner, i stalk their blogs to see if they posted anything related to our muses or anything i can comment on to dunk on them or remind them i love them even if we don’t talk constantly. 
Do you have favorite blogs?
           do you mean @miraruinada, @lightpersists, @nxrakunohana ( actually disclaimer i just love vixxy in general so imagine im tagging all her blogs ), @altxrism ( fun fact, like 70% of aito’s development comes from talking with tea ), @thelazyeditor, @gloryundimmed, @empiia​, @rotpeace, @occidimus, @valhallic and @clandestinare? nah. 
Do you have favorite threads?
          topaxi related threads have a very near and dear place in my heart at the moment because that group verse is just living rent free in my mind. threads with angel leah involved also are a favorite because i just really enjoy playing her in general as a muse. i also just, really love a heavily plotted, heavily discussed thread/au and many of the private verse threads i have with @lightpersists / @destinedhearts fit that bill ( e.g. shark in the water, businessmen and scandals, rise above, we have so many but you get the idea ).
          i also really have a big soft spot for the threads between leah and ezra, a muse from one of @nxrakunohana‘s older blogs, that develop their relationship, the bonnie and clyde inspired au thread with @shadyinfo, and the high school au thread between lanzo and alison i have with @rotpeace because god, it’s so nice to be writing with them again !!!!!!! it makes my monkey brain go hee!!! hoo!!!

Craig and Those Guys Week: Day 1 - The Beach 🏖
“You definitely brought the towels didn’t you Craig?”
“Yes Tweek, for the third time, you saw me put them into the bag.”
Five teenage boys cross the parking lot and make their way towards the beach. It was the weekend and this particular beach was quite the tourist spot, but it was one of the only days of the week in which all of the boys were free. They’d assigned this trip as their monthly event; an event that wasn’t just meeting up at the cafe or hanging out at somebody’s house.
Leading the group was a tall, slender boy. The tallest of the group. This was Craig. His beach attire was pretty basic; he donned navy blue swimming trunks and black sandals. He wore a beige bucket hat over his jet black hair, and covered his blue eyes with blacked out sunglasses. He was carrying a big beach bag, filled with all the essentials. Craig was their ring leader, the centre of the group. Whenever anyone else would talk about their group it would be referred to as his gang.
Trailing closely behind him was a noticeably skinnier boy; Craig’s boyfriend, Tweek. He too wore a bucket hat, white this time, and covered his bony torso with a vest of the same colour. He had untamed wild blonde hair, shooting out from underneath the hat in all different directions. His hand was fiddling with the bottom of his khaki swimming trunks, clearly on edge. His eyes were bagged, but he wasn’t a bad looking guy overall. Tweek’s anxiety around large groups of people meant that he was practically clinging to Craig for dear life.
Not far behind was a more boisterous boy, rambling about his friends’ sense of fashion. Clyde was a little chubby in build, but wasn’t afraid to flaunt it. He wore an open red shirt with a palm tree design on it, and on the bottom half…a pair of black speedos. He even accessorised with some aviators and a shark tooth necklace. He was clearly the most enthusiastic of the group; flicking his chocolate coloured hair in the wind whenever he sensed a female within range.
Next to him was Token, who didn’t try as hard on the fashion side, but still managed to pull off a pair of violet trunks and gold-rimmed sunglasses. He was assigned the role of carrying the parasol. His body was probably the most toned out of the group, but he was cool about it, and wanted to come across as casual as possible to his peers. But that was slightly difficult when you’re the son of a millionaire…and it definitely showed.
The last boy was a brunette, using his crutches to keep up a steady pace with his friends. His ochre coloured trunks were accompanied with a brown baseball cap and a grey t-shirt. This was Jimmy, who had a form of cerebral palsy, yet was one of the funniest guys in their town. He was wearing trainers and had no intention of entering the water at all, simply content with chilling out with his best friends.
The boys eventually reach the beach, finding a spot nearer the back that wasn’t too close to everyone else for Tweek’s sake. Token forcefully stuck the parasol into the sand and opened it, Tweek immediately running underneath. With the palest skin out of them all, he’d coated himself in 3 layers of sunscreen before coming out for the day.
Craig sets down the beach bag, whipping out a pile of folded towels, leaving a couple spare in the bag. “Take your pick.”
Tweek is the first to grab one; a simple striped design.
Clyde was next, opting for the one with the slogan ‘Cool story bro’ on it.
Token passed one to Jimmy that had fruit decorating it, and then took a basic blue one for himself.
Craig was left with the towel with an adorable looking cartoon shark on it, one of which used to belong to his younger sister Tricia. He didn’t seem at all bothered and laid it out next to Tweek’s towel.
“Alright so who’s coming for a splash in a little while?” Clyde enthusiastically asks.
“FUCK no. I’m not gonna be present while you awkwardly try to pick up chicks by the water.” Craig protests.
“Oh Craig,” Clyde tuts, “You should be more supportive of me!”
“Yeah well, I’m not supportive of those speedos.”
Token chuckles, “Again with the speedos…you really aren’t a fan are you?”
“Dude, look at him. He looks like a middle aged dad who flirts with teenagers.”
Clyde pouts, “HEY…at least I’m not flexing a damn fisherman hat!”
“Nghh, not cool Clyde! Don’t drag me into this too!!” Tweek contributes, awkwardly tugging on his hat.
“Firstly, it’s called a bucket hat. Secondly, fuck you. It keeps us cool.” says Craig.
“Appearance vs p-p-practicality. A truly difficult decision f-for sure.” Jimmy jokes.
“Who cares about how good you look when you’re frying to death?!” says Tweek.
“Chill out Tweek, we’re not frying! We’re just sun-kissed.“ Clyde teases. Token pushes him playfully, shaking his head and smiling.
Jimmy looks out over the crowd of people, stopping when he sees someone he recognises. An auburn-haired boy of their age was sat reading a book next to his mother, who was watching his father and younger brother throw a ball back and forth to each other.
“H-hey, isn’t that K-K-Kyle Broflovski and his f-family over there?”
Token squints his eyes in the same direction, “…oh shit, it is! Shall we go say hi?”
“What?! I’m not going all the way over there!!” Tweek protests.
Craig lies back on his towel. “If Ike sees Clyde he’ll just annoy him with pirate songs again.”
“I don’t need reminding of that you guys!!” Clyde whines.
“Kyle looks pretty bored…” says Token.
“Damn…and S-S-Sheila is looking pretty…th-th-th-thick.” Jimmy stutters, watching as Sheila rubbed herself with sunscreen.
“Gross Jimmy, put your boner away.” says Craig.
“Relax b-buddy! Only her m-mother could love t-that face.” he jests.
Token gets up, “I’m gonna go say hi, Craig come with!”
“Ugh fine but we’re not staying long.” Craig groans.
“Bring us back ice cream will ya!” Clyde declares, pointing at the ice cream van nearby.
“Anything for you, princess.” Token jokes, before helping Craig up by the hand and wandering off towards Kyle.
~
They quickly return with 5 ice cream cones, one with toffee sauce since Tweek likes toffee.
Obviously, Clyde had something to say about this. “Uhhhh, where’s my toffee sauce??”
“Go and get some from the van if you want it, you lazy twat.” Craig says, handing the cone to Tweek. Tweek smiles warmly up at him before thanking him. Clyde takes his cone from Token, pulls a sour face and sticks his tongue out at Craig before heading towards the van.
After not even 2 minutes of receiving his ice cream, Tweek has a sudden large twitch and accidentally drops the cone onto his leg. Clyde bursts out with laughter, while Craig grabs a spare towel from the beach bag and helps him to clean up.
“I will literally pay you half of my w-w-wage if you lick some of that.” Jimmy jests.
“WHAT?! Are you nuts?!” Tweek yells.
“That’s a comment I’d expect from Clyde, not you Jimmy.” Craig retorts. “Fuck off.”
“What if it was Token’s wage?” Clyde suggests.
“Not even for Token’s wage.” says Craig.
“You guys, my wage isn’t that much different than yours!” Token objects. He’s not wrong; he only earns about 3 or 4 more dollars than the rest of them. However he serves wealthier customers and the tips tend to be double, even triple the average waiter gets.
~
Once Craig finishes cleaning up a very embarrassed Tweek, and returns to the van to buy him a replacement ice cream, the five of them lie on their respective towels and sunbathe quietly in each others company. So quiet in fact, that none of them realise until 20 minutes later that Clyde had fallen fast asleep. Only when he suddenly lets out a loud snore, waking himself up in the process, does he attract the other’s attention.
“Jesus Clyde, scared the shit out of me.” Craig snaps.
“The heat must’ve knocked me out…” says Clyde. “I need to cool down…time for a swim!”
Almost instantly, as if he hadn’t just woken up, Clyde immediately springs to his feet and flings his shirt off. “Who’s coming??”
“I will. The water looks fresh.” Token gets up a little slower, taking off his shades and placing them on his towel.
“Tweek?”
“Ngh, maybe later…” Tweek replies. And by ‘maybe later’, he meant ‘probably not at all’.
“No worries bud.” Clyde reassures. “Jimmy? Oh yeah Jimmy said he wasn’t swimming today…Craig?”
The two standing look over to Craig, who’s very clearly pretending he didn’t hear them. Clyde bends over him, casting a shadow over his face.
“Craig? Yoohooooo?”
“What?”
“Are you coming swimming with us?” Token asks.
“Nah.”
Token rolls his eyes, exchanging a disappointed look with Clyde, before leaning in and whispering something into his ear. Clyde grows a mischievous grin and looks over at Craig, who is completely oblivious.
Craig is a slim guy and relatively lightweight, so it wasn’t a problem for Clyde and Token to grab him by the legs and arms and lift him up abruptly.
“Wh-? What the fuck are you doing?!”
“Taking you for a dip.” Clyde replies nonchalantly.
“I hate you both so much, fucking put me down!”
Craig wriggles a little in protest, his hat falling off in the process, but it’s not long before he gives in and simply lets the other two carry him over to the water.
Tweek and Jimmy laugh as they watch them go.
“Ngh…am I an unsupportive boyfriend if I just sit back and let them pick on him like that?” Tweek jokes.
“It makes a ch-change from Craig p-p-picking on everyone else, I suppose.” Jimmy shrugs.
They watch on as Clyde and Token count down from 3, and on zero, Craig is slam dunked into the water. He resurfaces flicking his hair and immediately targets Clyde by jumping onto his shoulders and sending him underneath the water. The antics continue as Tweek smiles from afar, happy and tranquil. Seeing his boyfriend and his friends messing around and having fun made him feel so relaxed and carefree, and distracted him from any worries he may have.
He sighs with contentment. At least he didn’t have to worry about being alone. His friends were always there for each other and supported each other an equal amount. And days like this just proved that the five of them were closer than ever.

Role Recall: Woody Harrelson on identifying with 'Cheers' character, learning to dunk, and what he really thinks of Jennifer Lawrence
yahoo
Over the course of a wildly successful, widely diverse three decades, Woody Harrelson has held down the tap on Cheers, proved white men can jump, and managed to survive The Hunger Games, winning an Emmy and receiving two Oscar nods along the way. The 56-year-old Texas native has two major films out this month — the Rob Reiner-helmed biopic LBJ, in which he’s virtually unrecognizable as the 36th president, and the Oscar-buzzing Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, where he plays a local sheriff under siege from a mother who wants justice for her murdered daughter —  and has recently wrapped filming on 2018’s surefire blockbuster Solo: A Star Wars Story. Yahoo Entertainment recently down with Harrelson for a guided tour of his greatest hits in the latest edition of our Role Recall series. Some highlights:
Cheers (1985-93) Harrelson’s breakout role came in the classic NBC sitcom, where he joined the ensemble in 1985 as the kind, yet dimwitted bartender Woody Boyd. “It was a friend of mine who told me that there was this part you should go try out for,” Harrelson explains. “The part’s named Woody, he’s from Indiana, where we had gone to college, and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s interesting.’
“There was a lot about Woody Boyd that I resonated with. And though I didn’t think I was very innocent at the time, I probably was pretty innocent. It was the first time I really broke out of anonymity — and poverty.”
White Men Can’t Jump (1992) Harrelson really couldn’t jump for the Ron Shelton comedy about two basketball hustlers, a fact that resulted in endless taunting (and wagering) from co-star Wesley Snipes. “That was one of the funnest times I ever had doing a movie. I remember having an actual contest with Wes where I was trying to dunk. We were betting and I was losing. Then he went to his trailer … and this [crew member] told me, “Why don’t you ever stretch?” This is my first introduction to yoga,” Harrelson recalls, “and I started stretching and the next thing you know, I could dunk the ball. This is on a 9-and-a-half-foot rim, by the way; I couldn’t do it on a 10-foot rim. … He came out of his trailer and I pretended I couldn’t and we upped the bet and upped the bet and then slammed it. I’ll never forget the look on Wes’s face: It was joyous.
Indecent Proposal (1993) This extremely popular, extremely un-P.C. film starred Robert Redford as mogul who offers Harrelson’s character $1 million for a night with his wife, played by Demi Moore. “My mom was pretty psyched,” says Harrelson. “She didn’t come to visit me on set much, but with Robert Redford was in the movie, she came to the set for sure. She was like a little girl. It was fantastic.”
Natural Born Killers (1994) Harrelson and Juliette Lewis played a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde in Oliver Stone’s graphically violent road-trip movie that polarized audiences upon its release. “I didn’t know it would be that controversial. It was very controversial,” says Harrelson. “People are like, ‘Do you like doing controversial movies?’ I’m like, ‘Hell, no. I like doing movies people would go see, not movies people are boycotting.'”
The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) Harrelson reteamed with Stone and earned his first Oscar nomination playing Hustler magnate Larry Flynt in this biopic. “I wouldn’t have been much into doing this movie if I hadn’t come to respect Larry. I don’t respect much the pornography part of what he does,” Harrelson quickly adds, “But what he is as a person, and the rebel that he is, and even what he did recently offering $10 million for any information that leads to the impeachment of our so-called president… I’ve never met a more honest man.”
The Hunger Games (2012-15) For the blockbuster four-film saga based on the bestselling book series, Harrelson played mentor to Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen. “I love Jen,” Harrelson says with a smile. “She’s absolutely hysterical. She’s her own person. I love who she is. I think she’s a tremendous actress, but even more so as a person, she’s one of my top favorite people in the world.”
True Detective (2014) Harrelson and partner Matthew McConaughey both earned Emmy nominations for HBO’s esoteric mystery thriller. “Love working with Matthew, that’s the third thing we did together,” Harrelson says, ticking off their collaborations in EDtv and Surfer Dude. “He’s a hard-core committed guy… Man, what a performance.” But despite their good vibes on set and off, that doesn’t mean Harrelson wants to reprise their partnership for a follow-up season of True Detective. “I don’t see doing that because it went really well the first time and if you come back around to it, what else are you going to hear? ‘Not as good. Wasn’t as good. Boy, you guys were good before, but this time…’ I don’t want to hear that.”
Watch the complete Role Recall above.

Bites with Blondie: A Sexy Side of Downtown Denver
Back in the early 2000’s, anyone who was anyone got their mob family fix from The Sopranos. Let’s face it; despite Tony Soprano’s outward image as the garbage man king, he was a badass, who was always taken seriously. He made a mean cocktail while counting money at the Bada Bing club, and spent each Sunday at the famed Italian joint – Bamonte’s. He always drank a glass of his favorite red wine while dunking the perfectly toasted bread into delicious pools of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. In fact, he was always eating. Not only did it make us viewers crave all the Italian classics, but it created a secret fascination with crime families and the mafia.
Because Denver is a far more attractive city than anywhere in Jersey (sorry East coasters), the legendary Smaldone family decided to plant roots in downtown Denver and brought those sexy mobster vibes straight to the mile high city.
It all started in the 1930s. The buzzing neighborhood of the Highlands became known for its’ Wild West ways, rather than the trendy neighborhood seen today. Seeing the potential for the area, Ralph and Mamie Smaldone opened their first café in 1936 and to boost business, the couple bootlegged moonshine during prohibition. In the late 1940’s café sales plummeted, so son Clyde was determined to help his parents, as soon as he was released from jail.
In 1947, Clyde moved the café to the present location, and renamed it Gaetano’s, an Italian nickname for Clyde. Determined to bring a dark and sexy side to the city, he started a successful gambling ring just above the restaurant. This undercover operation attracted fellow mobsters and even Hollywood elite, as it was rumored that Frank Sinatra himself, entered the secret gambling quarters through the secret door in the men’s room!
I recently had a chance to visit this historical treasure for a drink, and I must admit, Gaetano’s checks all of the delicious Italian boxes.
Located in a historic building in the heart of the city, overlooking downtown Denver with it’s own parking lot and ample street parking?
CHECK.  
A place so popular it has been named “Best Neighborhood Italian Restaurant” by Westword for countless years in a row, but allows reservations through their website or OpenTable?
CHECK.
A sleek interior, splashed with local mafia history, portraits of those close to the Smaldone crime family, gorgeous red accents with plush booths, and a covered outdoor patio out front?
CHECK. 
A swanky, fully stocked bar that anyone can belly up to for a fresh cocktail, or glass of wine from the impressive red wine list?
CHECK.
The most drool-worthy happy hour menu (that you have to see for yourself) featuring fresh oysters (for a mere 99 cents), perfectly fried Calamari Fritti, a gorgeous heaping Charcuterie board and a special appetizer of the day?
CHECK.
A dinner menu so divine that it recreates classic family recipes like layered Lasagna smothered in house made marinara sauce, creamy pesto linguine, toasted Eggplant Parmesan and Chianti infused Sausage and Peppers?
CHECK.
Italian brunch offered each Saturday, filled with bottomless Sangria, Italian skillets, and the famous Eggs Carbonara?
CHECK.
Pricing so on point that it justifies the entire experience, time and time again?
CHECK.
A one-of-a-kind staff, who are friendly, knowledgeable about the history and menu, and treat you like a member of the family?
CHECK.
Now starving, in need of a drink and craving a special piece of Denver history?
Oh, you too? Well, check check!
After 71 years in business, Gaetano’s maintains its’ sexy reputation by giving a true taste of Italian history from a mafia family who made Denver home. Although the Smaldone sons have been laid to rest, their business remains a local favorite and the family lives on as mobster legends.

Full name: Dean Taylor
Age: 29
Birth date: September 12, 1987
Gender & pronouns: Cismale, he/him
Affiliation: Law enforcement 
Occupation: Deputy
Faceclaim: Ryan Gosling
B i o g r a p h y »
Growing up around drug addicts and the dirty bottom-feeders of Muddy Waters, Illinois, Dean was no stranger to injustice. His mother, a prostitute, and his father, unknown, Dean spent the majority of his early years avoiding becoming collateral damage to the wreckage of his mother’s torrid relationships with sleazy johns and dealers whose idea of a good time often included pushing his mother further down a path of depravity (and just plain pushing her down).
His mother’s negligence resulted in Dean being removed from the single-wide at eight years old. He lived an unstable life, bouncing from place to place in foster care and eventually into a boy’s home for troubled youth. With the only place Dean truly feeling at home being with with the friends he had kept since youth, the disappearance of one during his junior year ruptured the only constant he knew.
Dubbed a ‘vanishing act’ by the press and unsupported by the incompetent law enforcement that only discovered her body three months later, Stella was Dean’s first girlfriend and the catalyst that would eventually push Dean towards cold-blooded murder.
Dean went into law enforcement in Muddy Waters with the determination of a young man who wanted nothing more than to see the world spin the right way. Hard-working and fueled by righteous fury, Dean persevered through the trials and tribulations of what his birth had given him. When he finally reached his goal, he was chagrined to find that the Sheriff’s department was nothing more than criminals with badges and authority, making him a complicit contribution to the problem.
It was the arrival of the Whitewater Syndicate and his mother’s untimely demise by the hands of her boyfriend, Clyde Owens, did Dean’s resolve finally shatter into a lethal weapon.
The ’Hand of God’ was what the papers nicknamed him after the department found a gruesome crime scene in the back of Our Merciful Savior. Three Syndicate members strung up by chains like macabre rabbits, a hole carved into their abdomens where evidence showed long hours of suffering before they finally succumbed to their wounds. Dean considered it artistic what he did, allowing them one final mercy to repent for their sins before they were dunked head first into an eternity of brimstone and hellfire. The Sheriff’s department didn’t share the same sentiments.
The fear that rippled through the town following the murders was the most vindication he’d felt in his entire life. Both gangs and law enforcement alike were shook, looking over their shoulders to make sure God wasn’t watching them as it should’ve always been. The burgeoning guilt that came with being judge, jury and executioner became a minuscule price to pay for the long-due purge of scum in Muddy Waters and for the first time, Dean felt like he was making a difference.
With the uproar of rumors and the addition of the vanishing gangsters he weren’t involved with, the Hand of God’s reputation has sky rocketed, making his midnight vigilantism far more dangerous than it’s ever been but Dean has no intention of stopping.
At least, not until justice is duly served.
P e r s o n a l i t y »
Depending on who you ask, varying opinions could be heard about Deputy Taylor.
Kinder civilians would describe him as loyal and dutiful as a well-trained dog whose laser-focused assiduity had been a constant reassurance in town, while most wondered how desperate the department must’ve been to hire a vicious, tattooed thug to do their bidding.
The Sheriff’s department all unanimously agreed, after a decade of unremitting service, that Dean was just a curmudgeonly wet blanket whose only redeeming factor was that he never attended any department parties.
Dean’s take-no-shit attitude towards justice and dwindling faith in the law left his righteous fury to fester like an untended wound that formed a gangrenous gash on his morals, separating black from white with little room for debate in between. Cynical, paranoid and bogged by decade-old guilt, Dean’s commitment to his sworn duty doesn’t go without the sacrifice of his social grace, leaving him a pariah among his colleagues and everyone who used to know him.

Impressions of Hakeem Olajuwon through the years
As part of the  RealGM Top 100 Project 2017, I ended up exploring and writing quite a bit about Hakeem Olajuwon as we tried to place where he fits in NBA history. Olajuwon is unique, in that a lot of his reputation is built on his memorable postseason explosions, especially the ones from 1994 and 1995 that led the Rockets to back-to-back NBA Championships. On the other hand, those were the only two non-Jordan championship seasons of the bulk of the 90s, so some have historically discounted them. How good was Olajuwon, really, when compared to the GOATs of the game
To help answer that question, I looked into everything from scouting to quantitative analysis, and came to some conclusions. In one post. As you might imagine, that was a very long post. So, here, I’ll break it into a mini series. Starting today, where I’ll go through some of my impressions of Olajuwon through the years and how those memories shaped my perception of him. 
Tumblr media
*I have dim memories of watching Olajuwon when he was in college. I was young enough at the time that I thought my dad was calling him and Clyde Drexler "Five Slama Jama" (actually Phi Slama Jama, the fraternity of dunks) . At the time I thought that Drexler was the star, but I remember my dad being really excited about the tall guy who the announcers said had come late to playing basketball. The tall guy's name confused me, though, because I heard that his name was 'Akeem Abdul Olajuwon' and I kept getting mixed up in my mind with 'Kareem Abdul Jabbar', who was my definition of a great center at the time. *I remember there being an interview with Moses Malone, who was working with Olajuwon in the offseason, where Malone said "The boy only know 2 words. 'My ball', and 'womens'.” This cracked my dad up, and he repeated the story often enough through the years that I'm not positive that I ever heard Moses say it or if I just remember my dad's version.
youtube
(Phi Slama Jama in action) *I remember the hype around The Twin Towers, how announcers were saying that pairing the 6-10 Olajuwon with the 7-4 Ralph Sampson was going to take over the league. I remember that Olajuwon moved quicker and seemed stronger, but I was more impressed at the time with how absurdly tall and long Sampson was. Of the pairing, Sampson was more my favorite. *I remember that though the Twin Towers were good, they weren't as good as the Lakers or Celtics (who were the best). I remember that those Rockets had Rodney Mcray and Lewis Lloyd and Robert Reid. For some reason I always thought Reid was pretty good, and an important member of the team. *I remember being absolutely stunned when Sampson hit that crazy buzzer beater to eliminate the Lakers. The Twin Towers were good and all, but the Lakers had Kareem AND Magic Johnson. They were never supposed to lose to anyone except the Celtics. *I remember after that, when Sampson started getting hurt all of the time, that I kind of lost interest in the Rockets. Without the other Twin Tower they weren't as interesting to me, and I didn't think they'd be that good. *I remember when Akeem changed his name to Hakeem, which confused me about his name all over again because I could never remember which was the old spelling and which was the new. I also remember, around the same time, hearing that he was celebrating something called "Ramadan" and fasting from food for like a month during the season. I thought that was both crazy and cool, that he could do that.
Tumblr media
*I remember the progression of great teams out West as the Lakers aged and then Magic had to retire. I remember when Portland started making the Finals thinking that was strange, because in my head they (like the Rockets had been with the Twin Towers) were good but not great. The only "great" team out West was supposed to be the Lakers, but now the Lakers had left the field empty to whoever stepped up. At this point I knew Hakeem to be a star, but there was nothing about him that made him stand out to me as a super-duper star. At that time, if I'd have been asked, I'd have lumped Olajuwon in with David Robinson and Patrick Ewing as the best centers in the league. I'd have probably said that Robinson was the best of them, actually, because his game was just so electric. *I remember being extremely excited when Charles Barkley got traded to the Suns. For one, I really liked Barkley and the Suns were a fun team. But more importantly, I considered Barkley a super-duper-star and the Suns were the best hope to take out Jordan's Bulls, who I was not a fan of. At that time I'd have said that Barkley was better than Olajuwon, and probably that Robinson was too. *I remember 1994, when (at least to my mind) Olajuwon suddenly went up a level. I had been disappointed (and surprised) when the Rockets took out the Suns (though I'm almost positive that was the series when KJ posterized Olajuwon, and I got a kick out of that). I was happy when the Rockets took out the Jazz, as I was never a big fan of theirs and I never really thought that highly of Stockton and Malone (more players that I recognized as stars, but didn't see as super-duper-stars). In the Finals I was really pulling for the Knicks...I wasn't especially a fan of theirs, but they'd earned my attention and respect with their battles with the Bulls through the years and I was hoping to see Ewing get a title. I was surprised by how much better Olajuwon was than Ewing in those Finals. In fact, as I mentioned, I was surprised by how good Olajuwon was through those whole playoffs. I thought I had known him, had a handle on his level, but in those playoffs I realized he had gone up a notch. *I remember 1995, when David Robinson seemed to put everything together with a magical regular season. Like with Barkley, I was a Robinson fan. Maybe even more-so...it was hard not to pull for the Admiral. The Rockets were surprisingly down all season after their title, and even after they traded for Drexler they weren't as good as I might have thought. But for most of the year my attention was on the Magic, as Shaquille O’Neal and Penny Hardaway looked like the new big thing in the NBA. Penny was actually on the verge of edging out Ron Harper to become my new favorite player, and I was pretty excited to see them make their run. In the meantime, the playoffs started out West, and suddenly Olajuwon was back to his old tricks again. I was watching the game when Robinson got that MVP trophy, and it seemed like Olajuwon got mad and decided to destroy him. For good or ill, that game long-formed my opinion of the relative hierarchy between the two (and of course, I'm not alone in that). I remember thinking that Olajuwon vs Shaq was going to make for an epic Final, but expecting the Magic to maybe win...until Nick Anderson missed those 4 free throws. My gut sank with each miss, and when the last one came off I just KNEW that the Rockets would hit a three. Their team just seemed like assassins, like they knew how to do what was needed to win. I felt like Hakeem and Shaq played each other to a standstill, but that the Rockets won in a sweep because they had the nerve for the moment and the Magic were too shook. * I remember folks saying that the Rockets only won because Jordan retired, and thinking that was unfair. And thinking/hoping that Olajuwon would lead the Rockets back to the promised land one more time and take out the Bulls. But they couldnt get past the Sonics. *I remember when Barkley joined Olajuwon in Houston the next season, getting my hopes up again that with this superteam they could meet the Bulls in the Finals and show Jordan who the REAL best from the class of 1984 were. But of course they came up short again. *I remember the last gasps when Pippen joined Dream and Barkley in Houston after the second Bulls 3-peat, but by then none of them had the juice that they once had and the next generation was starting to take over.
Wow. When I started my "I remember"s, I wasn't expecting that section to be nearly that long. I guess the point of my reminiscing is that I was aware of and watching Olajuwon on some level from the time he entered the NBA, but that I wasn't exactly scouting him. But I guess I did see him enough to form opinions, which help shape my analysis of him as a player...(To Be Continued)...

Porsches makes a three-point
Three-digit assault on the quick streaming
A817. One of these autos seen in
Separation could be activity like a
Vanishing point street hindrance. Together they make for the
Kind of scene that would have web supercar spotters
Shmee150 in center liquefying. In any case, what is that
Most honed of the three? Which mortar the greatest smile
Over your face: the intense 918 Spyder Hybrid, the little one
Cayman GT4 or the new 911R?
Five hundred and sixty thousand pounds and better
As a 500 hp isolate up from the base, however it is not that
What you can envision, in light of the fact that everybody
Auto has another approach to achieve that pinnacle of the street.
Amid the carbon case 918 a tech-substantial
Mix of V8 petrol and module cross breed
Motor, there is nothing overwhelming about the flyweight 911R,
This about-faces to the nuts and bolts and supplies a Porsche
Motor games motor in a stiffer Plain-ish wrapper,
Also, trenches PDK double grasp transmission for an oldfashioned
Six-speed manual transmission. This is the Porsche to purchase,
Tell Stuttgart in the event that you need a most extreme driver interest
Over the entire speed. A Cayman is by all accounts out of his
Profundity in this organization, yet this is not an old Cayman.
T This is the GT4, the first run through Porsche truly have
Let the little mid-engined auto indicate what it can do,
So that at long last give the 911 a keep running for his cash.
We have a day to choose.
Where might you begin? The 911R may be the most recent
The trio, however I'd cash on you walking straight from her
To take the 918 Spyder, which is behind the
Science fiction carbon-for-all dashboard, shoot its
4.6-liter V8 and vanish the street without so
Much like an investigate the shoulder. After six years
We initially applauded on them in idea shape, which is 918
Ready to suck you in as awful as it does

In one of turbocharged motors and
Disappointing turbo-slack, the 918 reaction is stunning
Promptly, push so hard into the pail situate you
Can nearly feel your body level as the world's first
Human tortilla. Indeed, even in the electric-just mode is the 918
Speedier than a Golf GTI, however EV mode, and even the
Standard modes, are just a symptom that we will overlook
today. Turn the guiding wheel to "S" for Sport
For all time call both current sources, then ground the
918 the correct pedal with as few as 2000 turns for each
Minute on the speedometer and the twofold electric engines
Just working on it, diverting their 279 hp on both
The front and back axles, fills a flitting cushion with
Sensible push, while the V8 fixes his tie.
Yet, in the event that the V8 is kicking legitimately, the two
Control plants consistently coordinate and convey one
Long press to make an insane 9.150 RPM, the sound a blend of
Cutting edge electric whimper and a retro V8 thunder like a
Animatronic MGM Lion. Quick like alternate autos here
By ordinary norms, they can likewise be 1.0-liter city
Runabouts confront this kind of assault. Actuate
Begin the control and you are tossed in 2.5 behind 100 km/h
Seconds. A Veyron is so quick, yet can not hold £ 220 (Rs

To physicality and responsibility. The entire innovation pushes
The unladen weight to 1.675 kg, however you could never figure from
How it responds to directing information sources. On the off chance that any electrical conduit

The 918 styling riffs hard on Porsche's 1960s 718

Spoiler. All in all, it is not as exceptional as one
McLaren P1, yet the back deck is certainly one
A complex molded work defender for the
Motor, and through the grow a couple of fumes that
Like Scud rocket launchers.
In correlation, the 911R looks practically unassuming, and
This is something the (discretionary) immense green says
Strip running bow to stern. The R identification does a reversal

Stripped to just 800 kg on account of broad utilization of

Forty-nine years of age, the cutting edge R concocts no rationalization
An option that is other than winning your heart.

In any case, on the off chance that you open the entryway, the line amongst old and

There is a similar hyphen design recognizable to everybody
The one present day Porsche is driving, and a similar profundity cut

You may require a piece and handle swinging from your carport
Cover to get you all through them, yet you're so
Consummately found the Trident Shebang could go blast
Also, not those of TripAdvisor LLC. We remained at this inn for 3 evenings. Much obliged to you for your kind survey.
It is the meticulousness that makes the 911R. There
Are strips of carbon adornment on the dashboard, a present day one
Touch, which is incapacitated by instrument representation
Chosen in a similar blue-green shading you will discover in one
Real 1960s 911 - albeit even the first R's red line
Was not as aspiring as the 8,500 RPM here. Furthermore,
Those contemporary pails have carbon shells, in any case
Retro-style dogs tooth check focus, a trap Porsche
Utilized before on the 50th commemoration of 911 in 2013. Be that as it may
Here they are strangely flanked by cushion surfaces
Trimmed on the other hand in cocoa, similar to an eighties 911SC, a
Shading, which is resting with the dark request somewhere else.
Wind your body decently well from the driver's seat
Furthermore, you see no resets or move confine. Wind it back
What's more, you will see the vast gap in the dashboard where you are
Ordinarily a touch screen multimediasystem in one
Routinely 911. Achieve a hand up to the vent: the ventilating
Catch has likewise vanished.
On the off chance that that sounds natural, it is a result of the soul of the 911R
A GT3 RS in civvies. Known about the spoilers, be that as it may
Controlled by the same 4.0-liter fl-to-six, rather than being
Developed with the track embed out of sight of this 911 is settled
Street one-sided. However, that does not mean Porsche
Have back paddled on the core interest. Indeed, a remarkable inverse.
The 911R with its limited last 991 body, magnesium
Rooftop, polycarbonate windows and carbon fiber curves and
Wing, is the lightest 911 of present day time. Lighter than a
GT3. Fifty kilos lighter than a GT3 RS. For hell's sake, at 1,370 kg,
It is really lighter than the Cayman GT4.
Goodness, the Kaiman. That would be the ideal point
To enlighten the spotlight its direction, however past the point of no return, there it goes,
A spec withdraw in the rearview reflection of the 911 like us
Pitilessly the R up to his limiter in the initial four
Six riggings, dunking a toe into the curve of the grasp pedal and
Slamming home the following proportion. This interchange of
Eyes, feet and hands are key to the character of the 911R
A vital purpose of the contrast amongst it and the GT3 autos
With whom it shares to such an extent. At the point when Porsche presented
The current GT3 gave it worldwide dissatisfaction
Auto lovers around the globe that it would be PDK
Double grasp as it were. This is Porsche, which keeps the peace
Without really surrendering the GT3 arrangement and
That they weren't right.
They rearranged the seat somewhat nearer to the wheel than you
Would tweak in a GT3 better that grip pedal and
Elegant carbon-pressed group stick. It is associated with another one
ZF six-speed transmission, not the seven-speeder you on
Littler manual 911s, its hard rattles are not hosed by one
Profound reply murdering twin-mass flywheel, however you
You can have it on the off chance that you truly don't comprehend the idea
Of the entire auto.
Regardless of how quick your dexterity,
You should acknowledge that you will be slower than
Would utilize a PDK. Despite the fact that its perfect means air
The wingless 338 km/h R is best a RS of 13 km/h am
Best End, Porsche cite 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds for the
RS and 3.8 seconds for the lighter R.
Be that as it may, if at all an auto condensed what we got
So amiss with our 15-year fixation on layer speeds
The cost of all others, that is it. Frankly, that is far
From the sweetest transmission we've ever utilized. His

There is an engaging exactness that is accomplished by the
Control of the grasp component.

you know what could've been an interesting turn for GW to go down? to show off how it was Claude's relationship with everyone he got from being in Garreg Mach that made him so confident and sure of himself? when everything got so stressful in GW, instead of becoming weirdly violent he just. ran away.
cuz that'd be like a circle of how he acted with Almyra. he doesn't do this in 3H because he has his time with his friends letting him know on some level that people need HIM, which he doesn't get in Hopes. things got to be too much for him in Almyra, so he did his best to get away from it. but when he panics and tries to do the same for Fodlan, he realizes (through Friendship or whatever) that he can't just abandon everyone here because UNLIKE Almyra there are people who need him and believe in him to help them, and THAT becomes his trigger to grow as a person. he does his best to regain the faith lost in those that felt betrayed by his abandonment and afterwards succeeds in some of his goals by overcoming his flaws.
boom, shows off how stress can get to Claude in a way that accommodates for Hopes' unique setting of not having Garreg Mach while not spitting on his values of non-violence and without taking away his agency as a character. his flaws overcome him for a time but he eventually rises above them. don't see why people are so ready to accept he's this violent asshole who never grows as a character without Byleth and Garreg Mach holding his hand, when there's plenty of ways to show off different sides to his character WITHOUT needing to shove uncharacteristic violence in there.
ANOOOOOOON YOU ARE SPEAKING TO MY SOUL RIGHT NOW.
Because that is literally peak negative character development. Character regression. Claude becomes duke, does duke things, and then when the going gets inordinately tough, because he has nothing really keeping him here, he falls back on old, bad habits--because relying on instinct is what someone who's mastered the art of surviving is good at. Oh this is TASTY. I'm so sorry I've left this ask to collect dust for so long because this is a gem.

“We’re going to wipe them off the map, but in a way that leaves the fewest casualties” is such a bonkers sentiment that, like, I think I’d be mad if I weren’t so confused.
The problem with a strategy like this is that it really only has a chance of working if you're on the defensive; you weaken the enemy's morale by bypassing them and taking out their leader, and if all goes well, you get them to leave you the fuck alone for a minute while they retreat and regroup. But when you're the one invading? People don't take that lying down, and they're CERTAINLY not gonna tolerate a foreign army gunning for the king who, by all standards, has done well by his people. You can't invade a country and expect to find an easy path to their beating heart when they're renowned for their military and dedication to their leader, both factors of Faerghus' existence that are common knowledge.
