#vale is SO chicken coded

[monkeycharles]

They said I got wasted like all my potential SO I decided to prove them right and spend my time doing this, aka a guide to help people understand the beauty and magic of ✨BARGIGLI✨ and appreciate how fine Valentino Rossi is aging.

Follow me for more useless italian lessons you absolutely don't need to know.

This was pretty much made for my lovely gf @camilleisback 🤌🏻

[batsplat]

have you ever done a ranking of your fav vale podium celebrations (or celebrations in general)? Would love to hear your thoughts <3

I love ranking dumb things so I HAVE done this, years ago actually, but I've not posted it on here! going over my list and I stand by the order with two minor alterations. I won't just limit my picks to podium celebrations but WILL exclude all his title-winning celebrations, because that feels like its own thing. so here goes

next off list *deep breath*: first win, brno '96 (so thrilled he almost rode into the wall, bless); playing the violin, donington '05 (just slaps idk man); bowling, jerez '07 (cute but also kinda funny in hindsight given how the rest of the season played out); hazing your baby teammate, catalunya '09 (like it's not even anything specific it's just SO hammy); superman, assen '97 (jorge martinez saw that shit and was like ENOUGH I need to retire NOW); bike medical check, catalunya '04 (endearingly corny and quietly ominous); 46 yamaha wins, sepang 2010 (delightfully stupid dick measuring contest with jorge); serving the champagne, brno '05 (it's silly and it's sweet, especially uccio correcting valentino's tea towel placement); beachwear, mugello '98 (this one HURT to leave out, not least because of the poor veteran valentino was upstaging)

and here's my actual top ten:

10. empty grandstands, andalusia 2020

idk this one's just so quintessentially valentino to me; I'm glad he had something fun like this for his very last podium. he parks the bike on the side of the track, gets up on... whatever you call those things, barriers? and then he wildly gesticulates in celebration at an entirely empty grandstand at the height of the pandemic as if he's being serenaded by fans. I like that it was at jerez too, feels like a full circle moment for a celebration featured later on the list - one that's also about like... subverting expectations in 'communicating' with the 'crowd'. it's just so FUN, the vibes were incredibly off back then (to put it mildly) but he did his thing and it did low key cheer me up at the time. which is the classic valentino magic, isn't it

9. tricked them all, welkom 2004

another one of the simpler, more spontaneous celebrations - valentino stopping at the side of the track after winning his first ever race with yamaha. he kisses the bike, he briefly sits down and buries his head in his hands. the commentary thinks he is crying, overcome by the magnitude of what he achieved - but in his autobiography he says he was laughing (x)

“So I was right!” I thought to myself. “I can’t believe it, I tricked them all, what a show!” I kept repeating.

it's just such a pivotal valentino moment... and in its own way, it's a very memorable celebration. an intimate *cough* moment with the bike, a genuine outpouring of emotion from a man who had won pretty much everything there was to win the last few years... but was now attempting to achieve something almost nobody thought he'd be capable of. he WAS right, he DID trick them all - and he certainly put on a show

8. robin hood, donington 1998

listen. I'm a lesbian. this gets as high up the list as it does on sheer concentrated power of lesbianism. I don't even have a lot to say about this one, I just think it's neat how he was winning everything and also winning everyone over while swanning around like THAT. valentino charmed his way into the hearts of the british to such an extent that they would terrorise anyone who looked at him wrong for the next decade plus, and it all started with some remarkably dyke-coded behaviour. look at him with his cap and his bow and his arrow. no wonder he had them all eating out of his hand

7. chicken, catalunya 1998

redefined commitment to the bit. everything about his whole 'inventing a fake sponsor to fuck with the press' saga is obviously just. excellent. all the comedy hijinks where they're getting someone to act as osvaldo and trying to continue stringing the sceptical press along... something about how he managed to still treat the whole thing as a game, still had fun with his friends, didn't take himself too seriously. obviously this celebration is a culmination of sorts of that whole ploy - valentino riding around with his imaginary chicken sponsor to the delight of the crowds. I'm always a fan of a recurring bit, so I also like the continued chicken-themed celebrations over the years. let him be a silly little guy y'know

6. speeding ticket, mugello 2002

this one is just pure camp. what can you even say. like it's such an annoying lame bit that crosses the line again to be incredibly funny, classic valentino style. this race set off valentino's mugello streak after he'd crashed out of his home race in 2001... also low key the speeding ticket was a good idea, given it kept valentino away from a rather dangerous track invasion where one rider was dragged off his bike. so he just stayed out of trouble, did his silly camp theatrics and continued to rack up wins at the circuit for the next six years. so deeply lame. bless

5. portaloo, jerez 1999

this one I confess I didn't really Get when I read about it the first time. kinda went... okay, that's cute, but I also don't really know what the point is. so it's been a bit of a slow burn for me. think it's one that helps to actually watch and then read a bit about the crowd reaction... it's just a classic case of subverting expectations, right. this entire crowd is going nuts at your victory, you're known for your zany post-race celebrations, and then you just... dive into the portaloo. he has to sell it too, I reckon, like it just wouldn't work the same way without his earnest little dash. and so the crowd goes quiet - until erupting with even more volume once he emerges. just that feel for engaging the crowd... for toying with them and winning them over all the more as a result

4. donkey ears, misano 2009

huh, this one really has snuck up the order for me. idk I just find everything about it annoyingly endearing. I like how valentino was willing to take the piss out of himself after his indy crash (which he very much should because it was extremely stupid). I like how he showed up to his home race with a donkey helmet because he'd been such an idiot. it's a tense moment in the championship given that the indy crash having very much reopened the contest. so you've got valentino really committing to this playful way of bouncing back from an embarrassing failure... smart too! it takes the sting out of things, right, just defuses the optics of his big error by gently mocking himself

The donkey is because I was stupid to crash at Indy. [...] [In this race] I was in trouble, I found myself fourth and I didn't feel confident with a full tank. So I took my time to put some more temperature in the tyres and then I attacked. Today, I was the flying donkey!"

I like how he gets his crew to wear donkey ears to greet him in parc fermé. I LOVE him mock-formally shaking the hands of his team - including obviously with luca - before giving them all a proper hug. unfortunately just unavoidably very sweet. and I like him imitating donkey ears to the camera

and OBVIOUSLY I love him putting on those bloody donkey ears for the actual podium. the way he gets down onto his knees in front of the adoring crowd. wonderfully annoying

just something about these later celebrations, when he wasn't doing them as often anymore,,, it's almost strategically recapturing that sense of whimsy, right - using this old part of his repertoire to regain a measure of authorial control. helps bring to the forefront what the celebrations are actually doing for him in practical competitive terms, what he's getting out of them beyond just having a laff. and of course I love how big a fan of these celebrations jorge is (x, x):

Rossi's donkey. At Misano my Captain America was replaced on track by Rossi’s donkey - the one he put on his helmet and the ears he wore onto the podium. It is one of the funniest celebrations I have seen Valentino do and I laughed when I saw him get the helmet out. He is an expert at turning things around, and that wasn’t the only occasion he put that talent to good use this weekend. On the podium he tried to hush the fans who were whistling at me. Personally I saw their reaction as normal because they were defending one of their own. 

one of THE key moments you need to get their dynamic imo. jorge understands exactly what valentino is doing here and they're in the middle of a title fight and jorge really does think it's GREAT. it's sort of the precursor to the misano fish helmet to aragon shark fin 2015 dynamic, right, where jorge is such a keen student of valentino's... and he also is so determined to be magnanimous and honourable and all that other stuff - which is why him glazing the celebrations makes it all the way to his biography. and the helmet makes him laugh, because it's funny! jorge might know what valentino's game is, might be taking notes on exactly what he's doing - but nobody's completely immune

and now *drum roll* my top three in just. a little more detail:

3. kissing the corkscrew, laguna seca 2008

okay, picture this. you are currently leading the championship, but your main rival (who kicked your arse the previous year) has won three races in a row and is steadily closing in on your points tally. he's doing his thing again all weekend, looks ridiculously dominant to the point pretty much everyone is framing this race as a fight for second place. you spend the night before the race plotting and scheming how to make up the difference, and you tell your best friend you will not let your rival win the race whatever happens - even if the both of you have to crash. you go out there and - with all your cunning and guile and ruthlessness - somehow prove yourself capable of hanging with your rival as you gradually infuriate him. on lap four, you plunge down a terrifying blind corner and go off-track as you make an overtake, bumping into your rival and only by some miracle keeping the bike upright. around twenty laps later, you finally break your rival and manage to tease an error out of him that makes him tip the bike into the gravel. you ride the remaining laps in utter tranquillity - not only are you under no threat, but the two of you ran so ferocious a pace that your rival can finish in second even after crashing. you win the race. the championship momentum is back on your side and you have finally managed to drag down your toughest rival down to your level. you know just how much he will have hated that. so, what do you do to commemorate this moment? well, of course you go back to said terrifying blind corner where you almost crashed on lap four of 32. you get off your bike. and you kiss the ground

idk, there's just something beautiful about the presence of mind valentino had to have in order to know that this overtake would be the defining image of the race - to pay tribute to it immediately and reinforce the memorability of that moment in everyone's heads. was he thinking about doing this while cruising home to victory? planning it out while the laps pass by? or was it really just a spur of the moment thing? it's my favourite of the spontaneous celebrations - because of course it could only ever be spontaneous, because he never could have expected to win that race, and certainly not in such a memorable fashion

and then the second part of the celebrations: how valentino decides to really, really, really rub it in. these are for my money quite possibly the most triumphalist celebrations of valentino's premier class career (catalunya 2009 is the only one in the same league), to the point where the eurosport commentators commented on how unusual it was for valentino. back in the day, during his prime, he really did go for a bit more of a cheery but cool tone for his celebrations - almost as if minimising the effort it took to take the win. all just a bit of a laugh, right? no ecstatic fist pumping on the bike, no sign that the victory had ever been in doubt... but here, valentino goes all in. he makes no secret of how delighted he is, no secret of just how much he loved beating casey. interrupts casey during his post-race tv interview in front of lurking cameras and microphone, grins his way through parc fermé and the podium. no playing sly here - he's making a point to savour it. and in commemorating the most memorable moment of the race, in getting a rise out of casey, valentino has gotten exactly what he wanted. together with the race itself, it is this post-race theatre that changes the complexion of the season, that has helped immortalise the episode

which very much includes all the ways valentino interacts with casey directly! the way valentino just REFUSES to leave well enough alone and keeps nagging casey while casey is trying so, so, so hard to not say something he will come to regret in the coming weeks. a task he is ultimately unsuccessful at, but my god is it a brave effort to not strangle valentino then and there. it's fantastic stuff because it's also a pattern of behaviour reserved entirely for casey - latching onto his defeated rival is NOT actually part of the valentino rossi playbook. the closest he gets is interrupting jorge's tv interview too in catalunya 2009 (which is how you know it's a deliberate ploy lol), but after that if anything it's jorge who is initiating communication...

whereas at laguna, obviously casey has less than zero desire to talk to valentino. and obviously valentino is 100% aware of this. valentino usually isn't the sort to get in someone's face like this when he knows they're pissed off at him - he's more the avoidant type - but he makes an exception for casey. partly it'll be because he knows casey isn't doing himself any favours with his on-camera behaviour, partly because it's his chance to twist in the knife and make the experience as hellish as possible for casey - but partly I reckon he's just getting a genuine kick out of casey's reactions. beautiful, isn't it

hell. hell! hell <3

2. prisoner of your own success, brno 2003

look, I've yapped extensively enough about this celebration by now that there's probably not much new for me to say. to make an analogy circa two people reading this will appreciate, you know that episode in revolutionary girl utena where a flashing pointing finger directing the viewer's attention to the symbolically important objects on screen? this is valentino's in-universe equivalent. flexing those authorial muscles to make everyone aware of The Themes. something charming about how it's like. zero subtlety. just valentino turning to the camera and explaining to you, the audience, what character arc he's currently undergoing. you see, he's unhappy at honda - he's feeling trapped, if you will. like his individuality is being suppressed. he had a big cock-up at the sachsenring that made him reevaluate how he tactically approached races - from now on he'd be "taking no prisoners". he feels the media is being too harsh on him, almost as if they're punishing him for how dominant he was the past. which would make him a 'prisoner of his own success'. if you will

here's a post that just like,, has a few relevant quotes from the commentary and the autobiography and all that. key detail about that weekend is that after sulking/partying with his title rival on ibiza during the summer break, valentino shows up to the paddock with his snazzy new hairdo. which obviously the commentators speculate during the race is a form of mind games

dyeing my hair red to psych out the competition. like a pro. the race itself is obviously fantastic, but I love that he had celebrations this elaborate planned out for a race he won by *checks notes* .042 seconds. I mean. come on, could've easily gone wrong. in the end, however, valentino plot armoured his way to reversing the defeat from a few weeks prior - and immediately does this whole chain gang routine, which is just another elite camp bit. and crucially it's also a bit of a throwback! the planned celebrations had petered out a little at this stage of his career, as if he'd grown out of them... both the hair and the celebrations are recapturing his wild lesbian youth from the days before he became a honda factory man

he's got to break free, you see, got to express his identity again. and "prisoner of my own success" is just. such a funny phrase. deeply insufferable. the way he carries that stupid ball and chain around with him, on the bike and off it... how sete has a kick at it during the podium ceremony... how valentino's still holding that blasted thing mid-champagne spray...

open wide

valentino brings back the celebrations later that year when he seals the title - carried aloft by fans dressed in convicts' garb while sporting a massive novelty lock and key. back in brno, he had told yamaha under the cover of night that he would sign for them. when he seals the title, his last for honda, he is freed from the expectations of the press and the fans that had been weighing on him all year. he is about to liberate himself from honda. the novelty lock is now open... whatever that might symbolise. and the following year is about truly embracing his own identity, for better and for worse. beyond being a fun celebration, it functions as a neat little thematic road map for what's to come. plot significant celebration. imagine having plot significant celebrations

1. sweeping the grid, sepang 2004

sue me, I'm horrible, but this one will always come top of the pile for me. this is another one I've talked about way too much by this point - but to me it really is the definitive marriage of joy and cruelty that valentino so thoroughly embodies. he's having fun! coming up with a little joke with his team :) but of course the whole thing is also incredibly, shamelessly malicious. valentino is obviously on one that entire weekend... or, well, he's on one that entire month tbh. he's already exhibited some generational malice in the press conference that started off proceedings, he's doing his thing that entire weekend to unsettle poor sete as much as possible - and eventually he wins the race in reasonably straightforward fashion

which in itself is already enough to swing the title fight back to being basically wrapped up (though I'd still advise keeping the risky last lap phillip island lunges to a minimum, but you do you), so you'd think that'd be job done. except valentino is still feeling furious and vengeful towards both sete and honda. so after blatantly ignoring sete's outstretched hand on the cooldown lap (to the surprise of one of the commentators, who said such unsportsmanlike behaviour was unlike valentino - which... buddy), valentino then stops at the side of the road for another one of his fun little celebrations. this time, it's reenacting the sweeping of the grid that had given him that nasty back-of-the-grid penalty the week before

similarly to misano 2009, what valentino's doing is defanging his own mistake from the previous week - he's reducing its power, drawing attention away from the self-inflicted nature of his precarious championship situation, making his setbacks into jokes better than anyone else can. except unlike in 2009, valentino does not primarily blame himself for his recent humiliation. valentino's pre-planned celebrations are generally about himself, not his rivals - but he makes an exception here to mock sete and honda. to show them that nothing is forgiven. the sete rivalry is about valentino gaining more agency in his story, including in torturing his rivals, so it feels right that this gleeful malice really comes to the fore here too. I didn't include jerez 2005 in this post because that's more... valentino reacting to the crowd in his celebrations rather than doing his own thing (though obviously I'm also a massive massive fan of that energy and dearly wish valentino had been booed more often). and well, that's the same vibe of valentino just relishing how much torment he was causing sete, the spanish crowd... the fourth wall break when he's mocking sete's injury, just properly embracing the nastier side of his celebrations. joy and cruelty, cruelty and joy - these two things were never really in opposition to each other for valentino

and just to mention my favourite detail, the cleaning company valentino and co invent to 'eliminate dirt from the world championship':

as in, they're cleaning starting grids... but they're also taking action against dirty rats. naming no names. lovely, isn't it

the whole thing's mean-spirited to a somewhat cartoonish extent - especially when you consider what a tight timeline they were on here. seven days between qatar and sepang, both flyaway races, like logistically it's honestly kinda impressive they made this happen. what the power of spite will do for you, I suppose. I also love that jb has one of these shirts. I love jb being completely ride-or-die in getting revenge on sete, helpfully commenting that it's dangerous to piss valentino off. watch out :) get yourself a crew chief who will enable you in psychologically torturing your opponents

and, remember, all this came in the third-to-last round of a tight title fight!! with a slender fourteen point lead in the championship, a mere week in between races including quickly nipping back to italy to attempt to address the hole in his finger... and valentino's spending his time coming up with custom shirts to take the piss out of his enemies? fantastic sense of priorities, 10/10 no notes

Firen Lhain: Chapter 208: Dream Come True

JNPR followed Red up to another farm house. Once again he knocked on the door, when a young man came out. "Oh, sweet, good god!" he exclaimed, "What can I do for you?!"

"They'd like to see what happened out back." Red stated.

"Really?" the man asked, and Red nodded. "Oh, of course. Could I get you anyth?.."

"NO!" Jaune forcefully replied, and Nora loudly belched.

"Thank you." Ren quietly added.

* * *

Red and JNPR walked into the back yard. Jaune's eye quickly caught a small hole in the back fence. "Too small to be a Grimm." Jaune stated, and turned to Red. "What did it do?"

"Kill a chicken and run off with it." Red stated.

"Hardly seems like a job for huntsmen." Jaune stated.

"I've got a few more if you want to continue." Red said, looking uncertain.

NPR looked at Jaune. "Maybe now's a good time for us to settle in for the night." Jaune stated.

* * *

JNPR sat on the well used wooden chairs outside the hotel. "So?" Jaune asked, "What did we learn?"

"How much we can learn," Ren voiced, "by speaking humbly to the humble."

"To listen to our glorious leader!" Nora exclaimed.

"I'm sorry..." Pyrrha voiced, "but to think twice when offered something. It's not always best to politely accept."

"Uh... glorious leader?" Jaune asked Nora. "I really don't think that's that..."

"Thank you for indulging us." Ren voiced.

"I don't see why I wouldn't..." Jaune curiously asked, and paused when Ren held up his hand.

"It has been a good many years..." he uttered. "For the first time, Nora and I have people we can count on implicitly. You have no idea what it means to us."

"What... what he said..." Nora nervously voiced.

"I feel quite the same." Pyrrha giddily added.

"Like the family I never had." Jaune added.

"Wait?.." Nora asked, "Didn't you have like a whole bunch of sisters or something?"

"Seven." Jaune simply stated, and paused. "And you have been better to me than any of my sisters have. You... believe in me... for some reason..."

"I'm sorry..." Pyrrha voiced, and reached out towards him, pausing before she touched him, pulling her hand away.

"You are the perfect contrast," Ren voiced, "between my hesitation..." He then looked at Nora, "And Nora's lack of hesitation. You - are - our - center. It is... to put it simply... humbling to be in your presence..."

"And being humble," Nora stated, "is kind of his thing... kind of his ONLY thing..."

"Yes..." Ren voice.

"Do... you guys really think this way?.." Jaune asked, and they all nodded. Pyrrha giddly, Nora excitedly, and Ren quietly, simply. "Then I guess I can't be sorry for myself any more..." Once again Pyrrha reached for him, and once again she stopped herself. This time before she could pull her hand away Jaune grabbed it, and pulled her out of her chair and into a hug. Pyrrha found herself with bated breath at their proximity. Jaune looked over his shoulder to Nora looking jealous, and waved the two in. Nora jumped up from her chair, while Ren stood up quickly but simply. Nora jumped over, being caught by Jaune's open arm while Ren quickly walked over to the group. "I love you guys..." Jaune mumbled, and then let go, looking at them with a shocked look. The group unentwined and looked at him.

"No backsies!" Nora shouted, and punched him in the shoulder.

"Indeed." Ren added. Pyrrha simply looked like a deer caught in the headlights.

* * *

Pyrrha and Nora sat nude in the bathtub, with Nora washing Pyrrha's back. "So?.." Nora asked.

"Hm?" Pyrrha pleasantly replied.

"When are you going to tell him?" Nora asked, and Pyrrha developed a great blush while having trouble breathing. "Easy there, Pyrrha. Breathe." Nora rubbed Pyrrha on her back, and her breathing started to even out.

"I... I can't..."

"You are untouchable Pyrrha, aren't you?" Nora asked, "The invicible girl?!" Pyrrha mumbled in reply. "I can't hear you." Nora said to her.

"I... seem to have found... my Achilles' Heel." a musine Pyrrha stated.

"So?" Nora asked, "Your one weakness is Jaune? That is just SO awesome. No way the villains are EVER going to turn him. He'd die first. Of course, he'd probably die for a lot of reasons..."

"At least... seven..." Pyrrha quietly voiced, "off the top... of my head..."

"OH!" Nora exclaimed, "Does this make you his secret weapon?

Pyrrha breathed for a moment before replying, "HIS?" she asked, and nearly panted.

"I guess you really aren't a secret." Nora added, "You are like, a super-celebrity."

"He is the only one to treat me as a person... and not some ridiculous ideal..." Pyrrha muttered.

"But no one knows about Jaune, so that makes you kind of secret." Nora continued, "Oh, wait, what about me and Ren?! Ren is like SUPER secret. I can kind of make a bit of a scene... but no one really knows who I am, so I'm kind of secret?"

Pyrrha reached around to grabbed Nora's hand. "We are ALL secret, I'm afraid. The world does not care if you live or die."

"But!" Nora exclaimed, "You're Untouchable Pyrrha! You're like SUPER famous."

"I am well known... but not well loved..." Pyrrha voiced. "They might idolize me, but that does not mean they care about me. Not... until... I met him..."

"How did you meet?" Nora asked.

"I do believe... he was... ATTEMPTING to flirt with Ms. Schnee." Pyrrha stated, and then blushed once again, "It was so adorable, I hated to interupt."

"What did you say?" Nora asked.

"Hello." Pyrrha said, and a developed an incredibly wide smile.

"That's it?" Nora asked.

"Yes... and no..." Pyrrha replied, "He did not hear me, so I said Hello Again."

"You said hello?" Nora asked, "Again?"

"Nope." Pyrrha stated, "I said Hello Again."

"Uh... huh?.." Nora asked, "Wait, is that the reason you keep saying Hello Again?"

"It's the first thing he heard me say..." a musine Pyrrha replied.

"So... it's like a... secret code?" Nora asked. and Pyrrha leaned forward and blushed. "Is that why you are always so happy when you say it?"

"Mm-hm..." Pyrrha affirmed.

"And why Jaune always notices you when you?.."

"Mm-hm..." Pyrrha replied.

"So?," Nora asked, "how long are you going to let him drool over Weiss before you make your move?"

In reply Pyrrha leaned forward, hugging her legs.

* * *

Jaune and Ren quietly sat outside the hotel. "So?" Jaune asked, and then paused, "How long have you known Nora?" Another pause followed before Ren answered.

"All my life, it seems."

Another pause followed before Jaune continued. "I hate to ask this, man..." he said, and paused, and the pause hung in the air, "...but... with Nora..."

The pause hung in the air once again, palpable and salient. "I..." Ren quietly voiced, "Cannot... imagine... my life... any - other - way..." Another pause hung in the air. "But the future is not yet here..."

"Don't..." Jaune voiced, "make her wait... too long..."

"I was thinking... once we are huntsmen... and know what to do with our lives..." Ren stated, "Fortunately, or unfortunately, we have found you, and our lives seem more certain."

Another pause hung in the air, this one not broken by speech.

* * *

Weiss looked into the fire, burning in the rusted skeleton of the tower, and then she looked over the rest of her team. "It's a job. We all had this romanticized vision of being a Huntress in our heads! But at the end of the day, it's a job to protect the people! And whatever we want, will have to come second. You know what?, Jaune was right."

"Jaune?.." Blake quietly asked. That seemed like the first time she had ever called him that.

"What did he say?" Yang asked, and Weiss sighed.

"It's not so much what he said, but..." Weiss voiced, and paused for a moment. "What we become as Huntresses is not important. We are huntresses to help Remnant."

"Who knew that Ladykiller was so deep?" Yang asked, and Blake glared at her.

* * *

Jaune was startled awake, by what, he was not sure. He tilted his head around, trying to hear... but could not hear anything. Instinctively he reached for his scroll, but there was no message. "Stand to!" he shouted, and his team were nearly instantly awake. Jaune climbed out of bed and walked against a far wall. Ren joining him a moment later as the two changed, face against the wall. Pyrrha and Nora changing behind them.

* * *

Jaune crouched down to walk through the doors, his team slowly but headily behind him. They all looked around, listening, waiting. "We need to get a bullhead." Jaune stated, and then realized how vague and obtuse he was being. He looked at his team and saw... nothing but faith in return.

* * *

Jaune pounded on the door to the sheriff's building. A few minutes later an angry sheriff appeared. "What - in - Tarnation do you want at this hour?! Somebody better be near dear..." He looked Jaune in his eyes, seeing the harshness and seriousness there. Red's demeanour immediately changed. "What do we have?"

Jaune slowly shook his head, "I... don't know... but we need a bullhead..."

Red stretched his head for a moment. "Y'all coming back?.." he asked.

"If we can." Jaune stated, "But right now, we have to get to Vale."

RWBY Volume 7 Episode 2 (A New Approach)......

The good news in this episode is that there was a silver lining to getting arrested in the previous episode, but the bad news is that someone on team RWBY makes a questionable choice. Oh, and the villains are making their move.

What did we learn........

Robyn Hill and the Happy Huntresses

During the ride to Atlas, the team learns about Robyn Hill from a guy named Forest (according to the credits). According to Forest, Robyn Hill is a Mantle citizen who graduated from Atlas but chose to defend her hometown along with other Huntresses instead of joining the military like the Ace Ops and other Atlas students. With an election coming up, Mantle citizens like Forest (who got arrested for throwing a brick at a Atlas ship) have hope that Robyn can win a seat on the council so that she can improve the city’s condition.

Winter is here (for real this time)

Yes, we saw her on t.v in Mantle but that can easily be written off as a pre-recording. Winter is here in Atlas and she and Weiss have a heartwarming hug.

What Ironwood has been doing for the past year or two.

Despite the paranoia he developed post-Beacon and getting hate from both cities, Ironwood appears to still have a level-head on his shoulders and has been working very hard to help protect Atlas behind the scenes (he even hugs Qrow after the meeting). Since we last saw him in Volume 4, Ironwood has done the following:

-Recruited Winter, Penny, and the Ace-Ops into his circle, making them in the know about the Maidens and the Relics.

-Made sure that the Winter Maiden is safe. However, Qrow has implied that she’s elderly not in the best health ( “She’s not exactly a spring chicken”), making her more vulnerable than we thought. Could this mean that a new Maiden will be chosen soon?

-Has been using the Amity arena to create a tower/satellite that can restore global communication. Placing the tower in the sky will not only protect it from Grimm but erase the “All four-towers must be working in order for communication to work” problem that the CCT have (in retrospect that was a really bad design flaw).

This is all good on Ironwood’s part except for one problem.....

Ironwood is planning on telling the world about Salem once the tower is complete.

Part of the reason why Ironwood recalled the military back to Atlas was so that when the time comes to reveal Salem to the world, Atlas will be armed and ready for any of the backlash that come their way. Naturally this is a bad idea when you consider Vale and Mistral’s current state. 

This revelation leads to what I like to call the first WTH moment of Vol 7.

Ruby pulls an Ozpin......

For whatever reason, Ruby has chosen to NOT tell Ironwood about Ozpin’s self-imposed exile, the Relic of Knowledge having one question left, and most importantly Salem’s immortality. Ironwood seems to buys this and gives them the relic back as a gesture of trust. 

* Note: There are definitely pros and cons to this decision but for now all I can say is that it’s likely going to backfire for various reasons.*  

We officially meet the Ace Ops

The following members are:

Clover Ebi: The leader

Harriet Bree: Mohwak girl

Elm Ederne: Hammer girl.

Marrow Amin: Dog Faunus.

Vine Zeki: Smarmy guy. (Prediction: Fans will be doing “do it for the vine” jokes on him)

Watts and Tyrian are in Mantle.

Tyrian is out killing people for an unknown reason while Watts is seizing control over Mantle’s security code. How is he doing that you ask? It’s because he invented the code and unlike Atlas, Mantle never got an update.  Oops.

So overall, good episode. I’m sure the next one will have the team in their new outfits and updated weapons.

Rosebird Week 2019: Day 2

Why do I always end up writing chapters longer than I intended? Anyway, here’s the second one-shot for Rosebird Week, I hope that you enjoy it!

Day 2: First Date/First Kiss

Summer had developed a small crush on her partner shortly after initiation and said crush had grown over the past year, but she kept it quiet for fear that Raven didn't reciprocate, and their friendship would be ruined. But then Raven had revealed to Summer the real reason why she and Qrow had come to Beacon, the older girl saying that she didn't want to hide things from her partner because she had fallen for the shorter girl. This gave Summer the courage to confess her feelings as well as reveal her own not so noble past, reassuring Raven that Summer didn't hate her.

A few days later, a Saturday evening found Summer Rose inside one of the bathrooms in her team's dorm room just finishing getting ready for her first date with Raven, the taller woman was getting ready herself on the other bathroom. Neither woman had ever gone on a date before, so they weren't exactly sure what to do at first. Luckily, Tai had gone on a few dates before and was able to offer some ideas. It was a relief because otherwise they would have had to ask Qrow which Raven said you should never do.

Putting the finishing touches on her hair, Summer was now ready, and she took a moment to look herself in the bathroom mirror to make sure everything was perfect. She was wearing a knee-length black dress with white straps, sash and on the border of the bodice, a white scattered rose pin on the sash, dark grey stockings, and black pumps. Instead of her usual half-up, half-down style Summer had let most of her long, almost black red hair loose with a small portion tied up with a white ribbon. Though she didn't care too much about wearing make-up, Summer had put on some black mascara and red lip-gloss.

Seeing that everything was perfect, Summer exited the bathroom to find the boys lounging around the room, Tai playing videogames while Qrow sketched what looked to be modifications for his weapon, Harbinger. They lifted their heads from their activities at hearing the bathroom door opening, and both smiled in approval.

"You look beautiful, Summer," smiled Tai.

Summer smiled back at the compliment. "Thanks, Tai. I hope that Raven thinks the same."

Qrow huffed. "Believe me, Sum. My sister will be speechless when she sees you."

It was at that moment that the other bathroom's door opened for Raven to emerge. The taller girl wore a strapless red dress with black accents that hugged her curves and red strappy heels on her feet which surprised Summer a bit since she knew Raven didn't like wearing heals (or 'stupid lady stilts as she called them) and the silver-eyed girl felt happiness bubble within her at the knowledge that Raven had wanted to look her best for their date.

Just as Qrow had predicted, Raven speechlessly stared at Summer as soon as she laid her eyes on the shorter woman and Summer found herself without words herself. How could she say anything when no words could describe what she felt when she saw how beautiful Raven looked at that moment.

The two women were broken out of their stupor by the sound of Qrow's voice. "Hey, weren't the two of you going someplace or are you just going to are at each other all night?"

Breaking out of her stupor, Raven spared a glare at her smirking brother before turning her attention back to Summer, offering and her hand and smiling. "Shall we?"

Summer giggled at took the offered hand in her own. "Yeah, let's go."

After saying good-bye to the boys, the girls exited their dorm room and headed for the docks where they took an airship to Vale. Once in the city, thy hailed a taxi to take them to the restaurant that Raven had chosen. The girls had decided that for their first date, Raven would decide the eating place while Summer would choose where they'll go afterward.

"This place is very nice, Raven." The silver-eyed girl said as they sat at their table. Raven had made reservations for an eatery that's served a variety of Mistralian dishes at reasonable prices. The Mistral Delish was fancy enough to have a dress code, the prices were low enough that the 'common people' could enjoy high-quality food.

"I'm glad that you like it," the dark-haired woman was pleased that her date approved of the place that she'd chosen.

A waiter soon came over with their menus and after taking their drink orders, leaving them to decide what they wanted to eat with Summer asking Raven for suggestions. The silver-eyes woman had only eaten at Vale-focused restaurants before, so she had little experience with the cuisine of the other kingdoms.

"Well, actually, I haven't tried as many of these as you may think I have," the raven-haired woman admitted. "Most of our food was animals that we hunted or obtained by… other means." The last part was said with no small bit of shame and Summer understood the implication so there was no need to elaborate. Raven recovered quickly and smiled reassuringly. "Still, we did sometimes get to eat at inns and such so there are some things that I can recommend."

The waiter came with their drinks and quickly took their orders, promising that their food would be ready soon. The two women busied themselves by sharing some funny anecdotes from their younger years. Due to their unusual pasts, there weren't many but the few that they had made for some hilarious tales. Raven was relating about the time that Qrow had tried to ride a Nevermore and somehow lost his pants when their food arrived. Summer had ordered Grilled Fish with Southeastern Mistralian Dressing while Raven had opted for Chilli Chicken with rice. Thanking the waiter, the pair dug into their food with gusto. Afterward, they ordered dessert, Raven pineapple cakes, and Summer friend banana cakes, sharing them like before.

After finishing their food and paying the bill (as well as tipping their waiter), the girls exited the Mistral Delish and hailed another taxi. Summer gave the driver the directions to the place she had chosen for the second part of their date. The driver took them to one of the more rundown districts in the city. Raven was curious as to why Summer had decided to take them here but, seeing the strange look that Summer had on her face (a mixture of apprehensiveness, determination, and nostalgia), she refrained from asking.

The taxi let them off at the entrance of a small park with a slightly rundown sign informing that it was called "Dickens Park". Summer quickly led the way into and through the trees, Raven looking around as she followed. The park was very nice-looking actually and it appeared to be well taken care of in comparison with the rest of the district. Still, Raven couldn't fathom why what was this place importance to Summer.

The pair soon arrived at a small clearing and Raven stared in awe as she gazed upon the many night-blooming flowers growing there. "It's beautiful," she breathed.

Summer giggled at that. "It gets better," and she guided a curious Raven to take a seat in the center of the clearing and waited. The wait was not a long one as many tiny lights began to shine among the flowers and soon, thousands of fireflies began dancing around the couple, dazzling the young huntresses-in-training with their performance.

"Wow," whispered Raven, awed by the spectacle She then turned to Summer with a huge smile on her face. "This is amazing!"

"Hehe, thanks." Summer grinned smile though when she looked back at the dancing fireflies the smile turned melancholic. "The others and I used to come here when we could sneak out, sometimes to play but often to just watch the fireflies. It was one of the few brighter spots in my life."

Raven's eyes widened at that, realizing the significance of this place. Summer's childhood wasn't as great as many assumed, the shorter girl rarely talking about it as she barely had any good memories of that time. So, the fact that she was sharing one of those few good childhood memories was a big deal and Raven felt honored that Summer trusted her so much.

"Thank you," Summer's gaze returned to Raven. "For sharing this with me."

Summer didn't say anything, but her smile was happy again and then leaned forward and presses her lips to Raven's. The taller woman froze in shock, but she quickly closed her eyes and soon reciprocated the kiss as electricity seemed to flow between them.

After what felt like an eternity, the pair separated and opened their eyes, their gazes locking together.

"I love you," whispered Summer, her smile brighter than the light of the fireflies.

"I love you, too," and Raven hoped that her smile was half as brilliant as Summer's.

Nothing more was said as the two women sat back to continue admiring the dances that the fireflies performed among the night blossoms under the shattered moon's light.

Some more hints about Summer’s mysterious backstory, I wonder if anyone can guess what it is. Yes, Dickens Park is a reference to Charles Dickens and one of his works is a clue. For the subsequent one-shots, I’ll try to make them shorter so that I can post the majority of them today so wish me luck!

M/N. 

**

The building had been abandoned and unlocked for so long that Linden never gave it any thought to a single bit of it except what-- who-- was on its roof. So when she approached it that evening and found a sturdy steel padlock on the main door and a sign posted stating it was slated for demolition, it threw her for a loop. One of the vagrants who’d used it as a sort of shelter was on the front stoop looking very cold and forlorn, indeed. He was an old man, who’d fought in one of the wars some decades ago, and come home unable to cope with the atrocities he’d seen without self-medicating with drugs, and though he’d certainly seen Linden in there before, he’d always been deferential-- deferential and silent, avoiding direct eye contact. Perhaps his long-dormant soldier’s senses pricking at the power she carried within her. 

Now he’s the only one there who could provide some hint of answers, so Linden clears her throat. “Why are the doors locked, do you know?”

“Not up to code, and they say it’s an eyesore. They’re going to build something new here. Tall blond fellow came, put up the signs and the lock today. Kicked me out.” A sigh like the shivery sound of wind rustling through reeds escapes his chapped lips. “He gave me twenty dollars and offered to take me to a shelter of my choice. But shelters have so many people in them.” The shell-shocked veteran shudders, and pulls what looks like a brand-new blanket with the tags still on-- perhaps the proceeds of that twenty dollars-- closer around his thin body. “I feel like I’m drowning when I’m in them.”

Linden’s lips thin, and perhaps had the vagrant been looking closely, he would have noticed a sheen of red enter the verdant green of her eyes-- like the first flush of blood-red autumn on the summer trees. She could certainly solve both their problems and break that lock with little more than a twist of her hands, but it wouldn’t do to scare the homeless man any more than his demons already did. She’d brought some food and drink, as was habit, and without a thought, sacrificed her share of the chicken and dumplings and half a thermos of coffee, along with a handful of small bills out of her wallet. “Here. You eat up. And... if you’re familiar with the area, there’s an abandoned phone booth a few blocks down that way. It’s not as warm as the church, of course, and it’s a small space, but it’s closed in from the wind and rain. And there aren’t any people there.” 

The homeless man eats gratefully, and Linden asks just enough pertinent questions to satisfy basic politeness and find out what she needs to know. Once she sends the man-- Billy-- packing, she takes a long, hard look at the sign by the door. Sylvane and Vale. A fancy architectural firm uptown, from the looks of it. Memorizing the phone number listed, she looks both ways for witnesses before shrugging off her coat with a grimace. This bit wasn’t difficult, especially in moments of heightened emotion, but human-made fabrics were not meant to survive such things. The sound of ripping cotton is soft in the still air as wings rend the fabric of her sweater-- not the brilliantly white, glowing ones of the angels, but the sharp-tipped, dusky-dappled ones of a raptor. She moves her rucksack to her now-taloned hands and lets the wind carry her up. 

Sir Nathalán, formerly of Stormbrook Keep, lifts his head when she lands on the rooftop, and though his eyebrows raise for a moment, he smiles, bows low. “My Lady of the Linden Wood. And before you chide me for it, surely you wouldn’t want me to be familiar-- not now.” He leaves unspoken that she was late coming tonight, and that he’s not seen her in this guise-- winged and cruel-clawed with the gleam of blood in her eyes-- since that fateful day that she rained her wrath down upon him all those centuries ago. His tone is still respectful, though it carries no trace of fear. Linden knows that at that moment, she is the farthest thing away from beautiful, and growls to herself even as she hands him the rest of the food and drink she’d brought. 

“The door is locked. This was my only way up here.” Even her voice has changed-- from the low, smooth, whiskey-and-woodsmoke timbre of a beautiful woman to something that bore in it the harsh, ringing tone of an eagle cry. “They’ve condemned this building. It’s due for demolition and there’s a padlock on the door. It’s just a matter of days before they tear it down, and then what will we do?” Her eyes glimmer like wet rubies as they stare up into his. “I know the nature of my thrall. Even stone, you’ll die if you’re destroyed. You’ll feel it when your body is broken in a quarry somewhere, even if you can’t so much as scream or shed a tear for the pain.” The dark feathers on her wingtips flutter minutely with the wind-- so much higher at this height than on the ground. “I can undo the spell. Tonight. There’s no one here to see, and no one would guess the truth of it, certainly not some prissy uptown construction crew. You could get down from here, and-- and live.” A horrible grimace that doesn’t give but the most perfunctory effort to look like a smile crosses her face. “You could be Nathan Storm, just as that angel suggested. A man of this day and age. There’s a great deal of conveniences to this time and place that you’d likely find quite enjoyable.”

He pauses, and sets down the mostly-empty thermos of coffee. There’s something different and pensive in his face, not a bit like the usual brash charm, and he reaches for her tense shoulders. His fingers are warm and stone-strong, but the touch doesn’t relax her. “You want me to-- to go back, more or less, to how we were before. Before I met you.”

“Yes!” Finally, with some effort, she releases a deep breath, lets go of some of the power raging through her. The wings and claws vanish, leaving in place the figure of a tall and beautiful woman with tears sliding down her cheeks, shivering slightly as the cold wind knifes its way through the holes in the back of her shirt. “I don’t offer this lightly, you know. But I want you to live.”

Instinctually, perhaps, he takes a step closer and pulls her in, and for someone who is stone for all but these scant few hours, he is wonderfully warm as his arms wrap around her and his big hands rest over the tears in her shirt where her wings had been. “Hmm. I appreciate it, you know. That you’d offer. More than I could ever say. But I don’t think that I shall.”

She stiffens, and it is only with the centuries-long acquaintance that they’ve had-- the feelings that she perhaps doesn’t have a name for but run deeper than primordial rage and wrath-- that stops her from raining down destruction upon him for spurning this never-made offer. Nonetheless, her hands clutch at his shoulders hard enough to fray the fabric of his cloak. “Don’t you understand? You’ll die if they destroy this building and break your body into pieces in the process!”

“I should perhaps have died a long time ago, when Vikings attempted to raze my home,” he says with a wry grin. “They didn’t succeed, because I fortified my army with your wood, incurring your wrath. That you’ve-- almost forgiven me, perhaps, enough to come here and bear me company every night-- it’s enough. If I die, I’ll consider it a life well and truly lived. Because... if I let you undo the spell, I will have to leave you, someday. I’ll be a man again, and attempt to find my place in this strange world, and someday I’ll die, old and all alone. You came here instead of leaving me. I won’t leave you.”

Linden sniffles, and almost succeeds in pretending that it’s from the cold. “You are an idiot.”

“Undoubtedly, My Lady.” He presses a warm and quite probably disrespectful kiss to her forehead, then another, even warmer and more disrespectful one to her mouth. “But I’m your idiot.”

[ad_1] “Something’s happened,” I told my wife. She is a veteran of watching me try to fix my body. I told her: Where before my brain had been screaming, screaming, at air-raid volume—there was sudden silence. It was confusing. Would it last?I went alone that night to a Chinese restaurant, the old-school kind with tables, and ordered General Tso’s. I ate the broccoli, a few pieces of chicken, and thought: too gloopy. I left it unfinished, went home in confusion, a different kind of sleepwalker. I passed bodegas and shrugged. At an office I observed the stack of candies and treats with no particular interest.Decades of struggle—poof. Apparently the Mounjaro molecule targets the same hormone as Ozempic, plus a second one, so it doesn’t just stimulate insulin production but also boosts energy output.“I urgently need,” I thought, “an analog synthesizer.” Something to fill the silence where food used to be. Every night for weeks I spent four, five hours twisting Moog knobs. Not making music. Just droning, looping, and beep-booping. I needed something to obsess over, to watch YouTube videos about. I needed something to fail at every night to feel normal. And I was also manic, dysregulated, and wide-eyed, sleeping five hours a night, run-walking, with pressured speech; my friends, happy for me but confused, called me “cocaine Paul.” I bought more synthesizers off a guy from Craigslist, meeting him in Bushwick, Brooklyn, with a grand in cash. A body is not designed to lose 25 pounds in eight weeks, starting during the holidays. Beep. Boop.With the relief come new anxieties. What if it stops working and I slide back into the vale of infinite noise? Compounding that, these drugs are hard to get, both because of supply chain problems and because they are being prescribed off-label for weight loss instead of diabetes. I can’t get a steady prescription from the pharmacy. I’m developing a rationing plan, stretching from an injection every seven days to one every eight or nine to build up a stockpile.I can see my anxiety mirrored in the wave of reactions starting to appear—op-eds, TV segments, people explaining why it’s good, actually, that the vast majority of those using this drug lose a quarter of their body weight. On social media, fat activists are pointing out that our lives were worthy even without this drug. The wave of opinion will not crest for years.And that’s fair because this is new—not just the drug, but the idea of the drug. There’s no API or software to download, but this is nonetheless a technology that will reorder society. I have been the living embodiment of the deadly sin of gluttony, judged as greedy and weak since I was 10 years old—and now the sin is washed away. Baptism by injection. But I have no more virtue than I did a few months ago. I just prefer broccoli to gloopy chicken. Is this who I am?How long is it before there’s an injection for your appetites, your vices? Maybe they’re not as visible as mine. Would you self-administer a weekly anti-avarice shot? Can Big Pharma cure your sloth, lust, wrath, envy, pride? Is this how humanity fixes climate change—by injecting harmony, instead of hoping for it at Davos? Certainly my carbon footprint is much smaller these days. Are we going to get our smartest scientists together, examine the hormonal pathways, and finally produce a cure for billionaires?When I let the domain name for my diet blog expire, I accepted that there was no technology that could change my biological responses to my own satiety. Now there is, and the part of me that tracked every meal, searched for solutions in apps and programs, wrote code, and took notes is obsolete. Was that time wasted? God, yes. But I did learn a ton—about nutrition, about exercise, about myself. All of those lessons are a joy to apply now, without the panic of self-destructive hunger.Lately I’m finally less manic. Still losing weight, but much more slowly. Exercising more. At night I play with my synthesizers and watch online classes in music theory.

Headphones on, processing all those years of futile effort. As I fiddle with knobs I am sometimes angry, sometimes ashamed, and often grateful. I don’t know how long this post-appetite era will last, or how it will end. Just that, once again in our lives, everything has changed.  [ad_2] Source link
