A Clash of Kings - 52 SANSA IV (pages 678-688)
Sansa gets her first period.
-
Sansa dug her nails into her hand. she could feel the fear in her tummy, twisting and pinching, worse every day. Nightmares of the day Princess Myrcella had sailed still troubled her sleep;
*recalls Sansa vs. nightmares of the bred riots (tv edition)*
Oh dear. I don't think that's fear in your tummy, sweetheart.
They had hemmed her in and thrown filth at her and tried to pull her off her horse, and would have done worse if the Hound had not cut his way to her side. (...) Try not to be afraid! he said.
Stop making me like you asshat! Ooooh, that's cheating! Sorry, I just, really like that he said try not to be afraid rather than don't be afraid. It just feels more comforting and less demanding on an already stressed young girl.
"Give your Florian a little kiss now. A kiss for luck." He swayed toward her. Sansa dodged the wet groping lips, kissed him lightly on an unshaven sheek, and bid him goodnight.
I'll give you a "kiss" *hefts steel chair* come here >:3
Turning back to the stair, Sansa climbed. The smoke blotted out the stars and the thin crescent of moon, so the roof was dark and thick with shadows.
I know I've been having fun with 'interpreting' the visions and dreams and stuff the past few chapters, but we do all (myself included) need to remember how hind-sighted visions are. In a narrative it's easy because the author often wants the events to tie together in a certain way, but even then there is always room for different interpretations.
Take for instance this chapter. We are being reminded multiple times that King's Landing is being bathed in smoke. King's Landing which is on a salt water coastline. Born of smoke and salt could now fit basically anyone in or around King's Landing at this point in time.
Case in point: Sansa has been weeping a lot (extra salt for the salt checkbox) because she's getting her first period (if I have my chapters and events correct) which is a "gateway" to womanhood in many cultures, and reflects more viscerally the idea "kill the boy and let the man be born" train of thought. If we wanted to do some crack takes, we could use this to say Sansa is Azor Ahai Confirmed.
She's not, probably, but we could say it.
Hell, Cersei could be Azor Ah-hoooo my gosh someone find a fic author and make that happen! X'D Azor Ahai!Cersei XD
... and just like that Sandor's made me dislike him again. He's so grumpy. And not in a fun way.
...Damn that's a violent period dream. For a second there I was kind of reminded of Dany's first vision through the doors, it was the "Women swarmed over her like weasels" I think, but the phrase from the vision described the men as "rattish"
Gods, Sansa is so terrified. First periods are always scary, even when you know what's going on because it's this change that you can't really wrap your head around until after, and for Sansa it's more than just that, it's another layer of illusionary safety being violently torn away from her.
Also, just as a point of interest, Blood is a Protein Stain. Cold water and a cake of your normal hand soap will remove most fresh stains from clothing and sheets, don't use hot water, warm to hot water actually makes fresh blood stains set. For older stains, glycerine can help to break them up, just dab a bit on the stain and give it a light scrub before washing with cold water and soap.
And when I say glycerine, I mean the stuff from your first aid kit for wound care, also called glycerin or glycerol. not the nitro for exploding stuff.
Queen Cersei laughed. "Wait until you birth a child, Sansa. A woman's life is nine parts mess to one part magic, you'll learn that soon enough... and the parts that look like magic are the messiest of all."
Not super looking forward to Cersei's POV's, cause I've heard things, and I would like to pretend she actually has some intelligence a little longer. Look at this scene. My gosh. For a moment there I almost thought Cersei gave a shit and was commiserating.
This woman has some opinions, and not all of them are complete trash, but damn she needs some therapy... but damn everyone in this series needs some therapy.
"Joffrey will show you no such devotion, I fear. You could thank your sister for that, if she weren't dead. He's never been able to forget that day on the Trident when you saw her shame him, so he shames you in turn. You're stronger than you seem, though. I expect you'll survive a bit of humiliation. I did. -"
So first of all, I understand that had Arya not been in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing, the situation would never have been possible BUT, consider for a moment, that it ALSO could have been avoided if Joffrey hadn't been such a piece of shit! So really he brought that shit on himself then made it everyone else's problem by being an insufferably self-absorb, overly entitled, rich little white bo-
... Joffrey isn't just a dude bro. He's Elon Musk with a violent streak.
I need a moment...
...
Where was I?
Second of all! Oh look, Cersei is Pro Cycles of Abuse. "I suffered so every one else should suffer too. It's equality UwU"
*Kicks Cersei off a tower* This. Is. SPARTA!!!!

Iron Man Vol. 6 Issue #15, in the Korvac Saga, Tony Stark got Cosmic Powers.  While Fighting Korvac, AN ENTIRE PLANET full of sentient Aliens got DESTROYED. Collateral Damage.
Remember, Civil War guys??? The Stamford Explosion in the comics, and in the MCU  the Bombing in Lagos.  ALL PRO TONY FANS whined and whined about the Collateral Damages, and how TONY AND THE ACCORDS WAS RIGHT, because blah blah collateral. And guess what, the same Pro Tony Pro Registration lunatics are ALL SUDDENLY SILENT about this little GENOCIDE. NO ONE is talking about this horrible incident. The same Prop Tony fanboys who wrote pages upon pages justifying the SHRA and the Sokovia Accords suddenly got nothing to say when their precious HERO got an entire planet destroyed as collateral damage. 
Behold Tony Stark allowing an ENTIRE PLANET BE DESTROYED. After that planet was destroyed, ONLY AFTER THAT did Tony punched a whole to another universe so that they can fight “SAFELY”.  And, after Korvac got arrested by the Living Tribunal and the rest of the Cosmic Entities, Tony did NOTHING to restore the Planet “Draconius”,. His Cosmic Power could have totally restored that planet and all its inhabitants, but NO. He doesnt care that billions of sentient lives was just lost when he fought Korvac, lives that didnt even had to be lost if Tony just sent them both to another universe BEFORE the planet was destroyed. 
So he went back to Earth, calling himself the Iron God,… and this genious thought he could solve world peace by giving EVERYONE genius level intellect. But he just put it on Trial Version in New York as an experiment. EVERYONE in NY became geniuses… including greedy CRIMINALS. so, ya know, that caused chaos.
So some of his friends wanted to stop Tony. Tony felt BETRAYED, so he killed them. Melted Silver Surfer, boiled Frogman alive, snuffed the Human Torch, turned Gargoyle into stone and shattered him, and broke Rhodeys neck. But he felt bad so he ressurected them all and said Sorry, No Hard Feelings…. he said sorry so I guess hes improving…. and then he removed his Cosmic Power and went to rehab…. but Planet Draconius is still destroyed and billions are still dead but hey, its Tony, hes immune from consequences.
When the New Warriors failed and Nitro EXPLODED and killed alot of people in Stamford, that sparked the Civil War. Speedball, Robert Baldwin, one of the New Warriors survived, and was arrested, SUFFERED in prison and he Registered. Speedball was BLAMED and hated and PUNISHED SEVERELY even though Nitro would have exploded regardless of who was stopping him. But Tony got an ENTIRE PLANET destroyed, BILLIONS DEAD, and he wasnt punished at all. How the heck is any of this fair?

The Big Blow Out
Tumblr media
The Spectacular Spider-Man #55
Smart.
His daughter gets Nitro, the Exploding Man, out of Project PEGASUS. First thing he does? Robs a bank to go after Captain Marvel. Luckily, Peter Parker is in that same bank.
Life is running true-to-form for poor Peter here. His rent is due, and he didn’t get enough sleep. He also showed up early to work on the wrong day. Plus, this villain seems unbeatable. And - SPOILER! - even when he wins, he feels really bad about it. That’s the Spider-Man we all know and love.
On Sale Date: March 24, 1981.
Roger Stern (11 of 18).

SAGA 1: ACT 4: FLAMES OF THE PHANTOM
-another day strikes your eye.
-and, as has become standard, your terminal beeps out wildly.
nitro: "BEEEEEEEP. EMAIL. BEEEEEP. WAKE UP IT'S MORNING. AND EMAIL. BEEEEEP."
geo: "i'm up i'm up!" you shamble out of bed and pick your terminal up off the floor, checking the email... it's from sho-co!
sho-co: "YO DUDEZ WE GOTTA DO LIKE, TRAINING STUFF AFTER SCHOOL WE DIDNT GET TO YESTERDAYS WE GOTTA OR WE'RE GONNA EXPLODE FOR REAL TRUST ME LIKE XO <- FACE"
-it's a compelling point put ever so elegantly. and she's right, you've got to go to school! in fact... you're a bit late!
geo: "AW MAN!"
-you start getting ready, jamming a bit of toast in your mouth as you rush out the door.
-but in your rush, you end up slamming into someone and falling back! right outside the school gates
geo: "OH-OH M-M-M-MAN I'M SO SORRY I-IBAJKA- SORRY!" you quickly rush to pick up all books they dropped, stacking them but they fall over again. you're about to start stammering out another apology but your mind is stopped dead in it's tracks as you feel a strange warmth in your chest when you finally look at them.
Tumblr media
???: "it's alright it's alright, i'm guessing you go here too?" their voice is soft and calming like a gentle song
geo: "i-i-i... yeah... i-i'm geo solar" you try to stand up but almost fall over again, they let out a soft chuckle.
???: "geo huh? i guess i'll see you later" they take the books and walk into the school. you're left stunned for a few minutes. completely still...
sho-co: "yo nerd! why are you frozen?" you turn around and see your friend sho-co behind you! "i just got here whadda hell"
what do you say?
-i think i just became gayer
-i got stunned by an evil spider

“I am… your time to fall.”
The mysterious man holds out his hand and fires a beam of unstable energy at Nave, but Exisite jumps out at the perfect moment at shoves him out of the way, letting the energy hit a nearby tree instead.
“You-! …You saved me-?”
“Sorry-“
The stranger watches the two curiously. Sensing he’s about to attack again, Exisite springs up and attempts to slash him. But, to his surprise, the menace counters, revealing he also uses claw gauntlets like him. The dark presence smirks as he pushes back against Exisite, “How interesting… you seem surprised, and yet you were scared of this even happening.”
           Delta tries to call in on his walkie talkie but it’s no use. There’s too much interference for them to get through, but they can hear everything going on.
“Castor-!? CASTOR!? DarkClaw what’s happening over there!?”
“I don’t know what’s going on but we’ve got to find out! NITRO!”
Another member of the team, Nitro, leans against the wall. He’s a very old friend of DarkClaw’s from back in his military days, they were both members of the same cybernetics program. He has gray hair, and piercing red eyes, and wears an intimidating green and black uniform.
“I heard every word. Let’s do it.”
           Meanwhile, Exisite and the stranger are locked, claw to claw, neither of them giving up the push against the other. “It’s like you dreamed about this encounter…”, the man hisses. Exisite grits his teeth, “Just- who are you!?” The man laughs and begins putting more pressure on Exisite, as he does the surrounding area begins to shake.
“Come on now… doesn’t the name Vyz ring a bell?”, he looks at Exisite dead in the eyes, his physical form now fully taking shape.
“You’re…!”
“Yes. I’m the one you heard in that ‘dream’… quite convenient that your friends led you right to my resting place, isn’t it, child?”
“Kid-!”, Nave backs up a little, now getting an idea of the extent of Vyz’s power. But Exisite refuses to pull back. As a result, Vyz’s power now explodes out, slowly turning this once beautiful and lush forest into a dry, open field. And this becomes noticeable by everyone.
Indigo sniffles and holds back tears as Selena hurriedly carries her away from the fight, “Our old home…” Selena shakily reassures her child, “It’s ok, sweety. Castor’s got this-!” The mother-daughter-duo run into DarkClaw and Nitro who were speeding their way over toward the battle. DarkClaw skids to a stop, “Sele-! What’s going on?!” Selena catches her breath while keeping Indigo close, “A metal version of your boy showed up and opened a tomb… and what was inside is putting us all in danger!”
DarkClaw, not being surprised by anything anymore, simply sighs, “…Yep.”
           Meanwhile Ex, Uriel, Ajax, and Xenos spot the commotion from another part of the city. “Woah… that- doesn’t seem right”, Ex observes. Uriel points towards the source of the destruction, “Let’s check it out!” “Are we really gonna go over there?”, Xenos asks, with a mix of curiosity and worry. Ajax puts a hand on his little brother’s shoulder, “It looks pretty collateral. We have to.”
Back at the base, Delta clutches his walkie-talkie close, hoping for any sign that his hero friends are ok.
           After a few minutes, the whole team meets up and makes their way into the fray. They’re also joined by the local military branch; headed by Wraith, another cybernetic soldier. The group steals their nerves, summons their weapons, and with DarkClaw at the front, charges in as one unit.
“EXISITE!”, DarkClaw calls out. “Huh-?!”, Exisite’s concentration falters, allowing Vyz to push him away but Nitro catches him, “Gotcha, rookie.” Vyz grits his teeth and grumbles at the sight of more do-gooders trying to get in his way, “Tsk- more stains on the universal carpet…” He turns to face his tomb but his gaze is caught by someone in the crowd. He pauses for a moment, then laughs under his breath. “Well…”, his eyes fully meet with Ex’s, “Who knew that in the time I’ve been caged up… I would remember your face.” Ex grimaces, “You sure you know me? ‘Cause I’m certain we’ve never met.” Vyz shrugs, “Well I’ve certainly met your parents.” “He’s just trying to manipulate you!”, Uriel shouts. He just tilts his head and smirks, “Am I really? … Think. About it. ‘I never knew where my parents went, they just vanished!’ … Don’t you want to know what really happened, Exodus?” Ex’s face goes cold, “Don’t call me that. Ever.” Vyz smiles, “And there’s the stricken nerve!” The rest of the team watches on in confusion, ‘Exodus’? Why didn’t Ex tell them about any of this? He was never open about his past but- why does his family have a connection to this monster!?
There isn’t much time to ponder the specifics.
“ENOUGH OF THIS!”, Wraith calls, “MEN, OPEN FIRE!” “NO- DON’T BE STUPID!”, DarkClaw barks. Wraith’s soldiers fire away at Vyz but nothing they throw at him affects him. Our heroes stand stunned. “Don’t bullets normally…work?”, Xenos asks. Vyz simply sighs and flicks his hand, causing all of the military personnel and their weaponry to be blown away.
“Wastes of space.”
Uriel clenches her firsts and stands tall, “You are a threat to this world! Be gone at once or we will be forced to use other measures!” Vyz scoffs, “Adorable. Children wanting to play a game of ‘saving the world’”. Ex crosses his arms, “We’re pretty capable of it, I wouldn’t judge a book by its cover.” “Well?”, Vyz bows, “Make it happen.” Ajax readies his sword, “Challenge accepted.”
“SO BE IT!”, Uriel flies into the air and calls down a barrage of golden lightning bolts. Vyz looks up, and with a quick flick of his hand, releases a wave of destructive energy that nullifies all of it. Ajax charges forward, “You’re going down, freak!” He slams down on Vyz with his blade but he just catches it as if it were a twig, “Interesting… This weapon is unnatural to this reality… even so, I’ll still crush you.” Xenos, rushes to Vyz’s side and shouts, “Leave him alone!” Vyz turns and grabs Xenos by the face and lifts him, “Children really do think so highly of themselves these days…” and he tosses him aside. Ajax tries to strike him once more but this too does nothing to faze him. Uriel helps Xenos up and scatters lightning bolts toward Vyz while the others begin to charge in. Vyz watches the group begin to close in and for a brief moment, time seems to stop as fury and frustrations fill the eyes of our heroes!
And Vyz laughs.
“I’m surprised! Most of you may not be as dumb as you look. But allow me to humor you all.”
           Vyz stands up straight, bows his head, and thrusts his arms out. Everyone else skids to a halt and stops their attacks as the portal in Vyz’s tomb once again sparks up with malicious energies. From within, dozens of creatures begin to pour out. They appear humanoid but they shamble on their hands and feet like wounded animals. They speak with pained gurgling noises and leave behind a trail of black and dark purple muck in their wake. Their faces only carry an expression of violent intent, and it’s directed right at the band of saviors; the only people standing in the way of a total invasion by Vyz and these Stygian nightmares.
           “(These are the same creatures from my dream…!)”, Exisite thinks. He stands there, not fully processing what’s happening. For him, everything feels like it’s in slow motion. Why is this happening!? HOW is this happening!?
As I said, there was no time to think about the specifics.
“Slay them.”, Vyz commands. The beats charge forward and everyone dives in to take them out. Wraith commanding his small battalion, Uriel calling down a mighty storm of electrifying magic, Ajax and Xenos defending themselves and working together with Nitro as backup, and Ex, DarkClaw, and Nave working together for the first time in what felt like years. And all poor Exisite can do is watch as more and more of the creatures scuttle in from the portal. Vyz catches his eyes and tilts his head towards the young man, “Really shows how much we’re connected. Doesn’t it, Castor?” Exisite flinches and readies himself for another attack, “H-How do you know all of this about us!? What ARE you?!” Uriel jumps back as she zaps more of the Stygians and calls out to Exisite, “Don’t pay attention to him and focus on the fight! He’s just playing mind games with us!” Vyz chuckles,
“Just like the gods who command you?”
And in a flash, he appears right in front of Uriel, whose expression goes blank. Realizing his friend is in danger, Exisite runs up and strikes at Vyz from the side, but he quickly turns and clashes with the young prodigy. “Think about it, Exisite? What has the path given you other than discrimination?” Exisite jumps back, what Vyz was saying wasn’t incorrect. DarkClaw, quite literally, made him to be a hero, a successor to some sort of greater good. But it seemed like ever since he was ready to take on missions, his presence was always met with negative responses from the public. The life of a “hero” isn’t easy, but nobody ever said it would be this frustrating! If only he could just- “STOP THIS!”, Uriel screams as she dashes behind Vyz and lands a hit on his back. “Hm-! False god following PUPPY.”, he turns and sucker punches Uriel in the face, knocking her back. She gets up and angrily wipes blood from her upper lip, “How…how DARE YOU!” “URI!”, Ex jumps up and hones in on Vyz, but he just catches him and flicks him away, “This is all the Shade family has to offer now? …It’s pitiful. Even back then, your parents offered more of a challenge.�� Ajax and Xenos try a dual attack at Vyz’s legs, but of course, he just counters and kicks them away. Exisite’s breathing begins to quicken, “(They’re all getting hurt… and I can’t stop him-!)”
           By this time, a helicopter from the local news station had begun hovering outside the perimeter of the battlefield. Everyone in the city watches with bated breath to see if this new villain will be defeated. Delta, now joined by Indigo and Selena at the base, don’t take their eyes off the television.
Vyz takes a moment and stretches, rolling his shoulders and popping his neck. “You know, Castor…I’ve seen you grow into what you are now. But you could be so much more. Let me show you.” With a snap of his fingers, the portal…reverses!? Instead of releasing more monsters, it begins to pull Exisite in like a vacuum. Everyone at home watches as the news broadcast shows him holding onto dear life on a tree branch for a moment before he loses his grip. He yells in fear but DarkClaw catches him; they both try to hold on but it’s no use as the strength of the portal slowly starts to pull them closer. With the others occupied by the Stygians, Uriel flies over and tries to pull them back but nothing works! They’re not strong enough! Ex, Ajax, Xenos, Nave, Nitro, Wraith, and all the citizens of the city breathlessly watch as the trio is yanked through the portal. Vyz gives one last smile to Ex before following them in. The team yells out in disbelief as they continue to fight for their lives, not at all knowing what their dear friends could be facing on the other side.
Whatever they were thinking, what was about to happen would be so much worse.

If you want to win the races then take a car and drive carefully without damaging it even if you are in the last place. Just go slowly and at one point the other racers will slow down and you can catch up with them. This hint is given by my personal experience. Need new and rare Military Helicopters? Go to there and when you just enter the Area, you can see s Missile launching machine at the two sides of the area. Please do not go very close to them.

Happy gaming. I will be happy to Hear from you and to Take care of you. If you want to take the Police vehicles directly from the Garages, where the vehicles are keep in safe custody, Get around the Police station and you can see an entrance at any nearest Building of the Police Station at which there you can see police checkpoint.

This Trick might be useful if you need a vhicle and at the same time you just dont want to drive that vehicle at that time and you would like to carry a vhicle by another. I'm doing something naughty with this idea. I use these packers when cops are to catch me. I will throw cops using this idea.

Cheat: Submitted by: Ash For some rare vehicles,additional task can be done other than carrying you to other places. A vehicle called "packer" can store cars in it. The bug occurs near CJ's house. I bought in the northwest of ballas territory when it comes to fighting turf, not too far from the beach and ammuNation. While fighting a turf war normally there are 3 waves, ie you survive the first wave and then the second and when you survive the third "the hood is yours". The trouble occurs near Jefferson's neighborhood as you drive to a nearby drive to take territory. While standing on rooftops, I survive the first wave of attacks but as I shoot a lot of Ballas a couple of them run away from me and are noted as purple triangles and squares in the green grove street territory. If I wander too far from the Flashing Red "contested territory" I get a message saying to "get back into the war zone". I have stood in the war zone for 20 minutes only to just stand there with nobody coming after me, hence if I leave the war zone I don't get to win that area because after a couple minutes I lose it. Therefore I cannot simply go way out of the warzone and chase down the enemies. It is a glitch because there is no way to win the territory. Hint: Submitted by: Dhruw To easy passing the villigant mission go to safe house which contains a garrage. Put your police vehicle there and turn the mission on. Secret interiors: Go to the Ganton gym in Los Santos and kill all four people. Enable the rocketman code to spawn a Jetpack. Go to the entrance and fly up until you exit out the top. Then, fly to the east two blocks. You will see a yellow marker. Land around the marker and take off the Jetpack. Walk into the marker and you will be in a secret room. It resembles a hotel or strip club. Then enable the rocketman code again and use the Jetpack to fly up and look around. Next to that room, you will see another. Fly to it and look for the entrance. Fly to it and you can fly around the level. Modify vehicle characteristics: Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. You will find a list of all the vehicles and a description of each multiplier factor. You can modify the acceleration, top speed, mass, monetary value, transmission, gravity center, and much more. Tommy Vercetti Cameo: This changes part of the character01 file. Delete the extracted file if you want things back to normal. Go to the file character You will find the code for the character known in the game as C. But if you want good old Vercetti back, then change the three digit number from 0 1 1 to 1 0 0. This should change the character. Edit the file. When you get in a car you will get full driving skill. When you get bicycle in a you will get cycling skill. When you get in a plane you will get full flying skill and recieve a pilot license. When you get in a bike you will get full bike skill. And also you will get hitman level in all weapons.

But it only works when u r trying any misssion again and again and u r not able to comlete it Hint: Submitted by: Ayush Baid When you go to any pizza place or burger shot eat more and more and you start warmthing. When the race begins,don't speed up, just watch all cars fly in the air away from racing zone. Then slowly win the race. NOTE:Maintain a slow speed or your car will also fly. This will not work in case of bikes. But if you will kill the person who's going to explode the dynamites,, the timer will disappear,,and then you can collect them easily. Cheats: Update by: anshul adukia Submitted by: Aky No need to go to the niko. It is so far. Try These Out. The arrows which come in will become a lot slower than normal and opposition can be easily beaten by scoring higher points. Mission Successful. But do not waste the low rider car keep it for the next level. Go to CJ' s garage and keep it in. Then save it. Cesar Vialpando will i. CV will appear in the map Big Smoke : Wrong Side of the Tracks: Submitted by: Lipinkumar I think this is the easiest way to do the mission. It seems that Big Smoke is not an expert in shooting. If CJ could help, all the four guys will be down quickly. CJ should try to finish the guy standing at the very front, he is the toughest person for Big Smoke. Modify characteristics of things you can buy: Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "shopping. You will find a list of all the items you can buy in the game such as cars, clothes, haircuts, tattoos, food, weapons. This also shows the effect on your fat, health, stamina, respect and sexiness. You can modify the fat, health, stamina, respect and sexiness by changing the numbers beside each item. Invincible car: Use the following trick to make your car invincible, so that it will not show body damage or explode. Enable the jcnruad code while CJ is on foot. Then, enter a vehicle and enter the cheat code again to disable it. Your vehicle is now invincible. After you get out of the vehicle, it may or may not stay invincible. Occasionally the car will become vulnerable again for no apparent reason, but most of the time it stays invulnerable. Flying car: Enable the bubblecars code. Get a PCR and drive directly into another car. You should fly off your bike directly on top of the other car and it will fly away with C. Croupier mission: Invisible tow ropes: When doing the Croupier mission, pull up to the red marker in a Tanker with the trailer. Your trailer will turn into the nearest car as if you were towing it with invisible towing ropes. Modify population cycle: Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "popcycle. You will find a list of all the different types of locations in the game, such as the airport. You can edit the number of different types of pedestrians in a place in a specific time period by changing the numbers beside each item. For example, you can change the amount of cops at the beach on a weekday at noon and increase the amount of beach folks or farmers. Modify gang reactions: Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "ped. You will find a list of the different types of characters in the game. Change the way the other gangs react to your gang. Your gang is "GANG2". Beside "Respect" under each gang, enter the gang you want them to respect or hate. To find a list of what gang numbers represent each gang refer to the "pedgrp. Stand on Hydra's wing: When your flying in the Hydra with the bubbleman code, apply the thrusters forward and use [Down] to aim the Hydra up. Then, monitor it for a while so it does not over or under balance, and it remains pointing up by itself. After that, leave the Hydra, but do not touch anything. You should be standing on the wing of a Hydra that should still be flying up, faster because of the thrusters. You can jump off at anytime to continue the rest of the code. You will see that the vehicle has no scracthes or any damage anyway. Hint: Submitted by: Bhaumik If you want to change your skills or progress you have made just go to your my document folder then to Grand theft auto san andreas user files then open STATs. But taking photos of you with the help of your gang members will not be counted. If you would like to edit this tip, or if you found any mistakes in this, kindly Copy this and correct and then send to my e-mail id. Then make gang members pointing gun towards them and pressing 'G'. By pressing the tab another message will appear and then press the tab once again. Thus you can have your photos and enjoy. Then you can see that the car is moving like a rocket with a tremendous velocity. How is this? Hint: Submitted by: Vatsal Chanana Go to las venturas airport and you will see a garage there. Fly it and enjoy. Millie will call you to get the card! Finish the Vigilante Missions Easily: Actually a glitch that can be taken advantage of to cheat your way through the Vigilante sub-missions. Anytime the player accesses an indoor environment and then returns outside during this sub-mission the target s with self-destruct automatically. This means no more messy pursuing. Fast Reload: When the current weapon clip you have is about to run out press the next weapon button and then the previous weapon button to equip you with the weapon that was running low. It will now have a full magazine. This trick doesn't work if you are reloading at the time of switching as you will have to let Carl reload it when you switch back. Flying Tips: Among the hardest missions in the game involve flying aircraft; chief among these would be the "Learning to Fly" missions at flight school with the many coronas in between success and you. Most players make the mistake of steering with the main flaps and not the rudder; the former are the flaps on the wings and the latter is the flap on the tail. The big difference is that steering with the former gives the player a tighter turning radius but with less precise control; the latter restricts your controls greatly and so is less popularly used. Try a combination of the two: first turn with the stick and then compensate by using the rudder. The rudder will act to stabilize your plane and return control to you. Also, know which camera to use. The default camera during flight should be the one trailing the plane that gives the widest field of view so that you can easily see where you are going as well as your relative position to the ground. The First person camera is good to use when doing the barrel roll or when using the Hydra to dogfight. Hint: Submitted by: Viswanath Keerthi In gta san andreas go to babera house make love with him to impress her more she will ask to take me a dinner,fast food,etc take him in the maverick so she will be very happy. Easy mission "Vertical Bird": Submitted by: Omega This mission isn't too hard. But there's an easy way to complete this mission: After get in the Hydra there are 2 or 3 Hydras chasing after you. Don't Worry, just find some where surrounded with rocky mountain to land the plane the desert is quite good. Then get out of the plane quickly. Keep a distance from the plane. Watch the radar and you'll see 2 red marks will disappear I guess they're 2 planes destroyed by their own rockets. The last redmark is the last Hydra. You should watch cuaze it's quite fun: it will repeatly fly around you and your Hydra and soon hit the rocks around you. After several hits it will catch fire and "go boom". Get in The plane to find the location of the agency boats, get out then destroy the boats using rocket launcher or minigun. The last thing you have to do is flying home. Get out of the plane quickyly or some rocket will hit the plane or you. If the last plane is not destroyed simply take it down by using Minigun or rocket launcher Hint: Submitted by: Omega My favourite weapon in this ganme is the barrel Shotgun I don't remember its name but it is shorter than other shotguns. This weapon is real fast and powerful. With this you can kill the target in short distance without cause damage to your health. Finding some rare car in Export car mission: I really enjoy this mission so I give this to you. Some cars will appear many before the exportin mission but after startin the mision they are almost impossible to find. I recommend to save before the mission start, then watch the list of cars. Load save, store some rare cars that you can't find them easily such as Sentinel, Stafford, Journey ect. Sometime park at bar in the country side but when the export mission starts you have to look it up in the country road. It will apear a lot. The Euros is under the sphinx. Liberty city: 1: Go in the Gym and kill all the peolp inside. Not the Whole State Itself. Easy money: This trick requires maximum bike skill for both motorcycles and a regular bike. Go to the highest building in Los Santos, the circular one, and jump off using either the motorcycle or bike. While you are in mid-air, you can spin for a little bit or try to do a back flip. Planes with two person capacity: Even though the Dodo is the most well known aircraft with a two person capacity, it is not the only airplane with this feature. There are actually many aircraft that can hold two people. Easy money: In order to waste time to allow money to accumulate without dealing with CJs eating needs, simply press Triangle in front of the television in your hideout. His health will remain constant, without him needing to eat. You can leave the PlayStation2 idling in this state to accumulate money easily. Easy money: Find a save point that is close to a betting shop. The one in the Montgomery are is ideal because it is near to the save point where you have to do the four missions for Catalina. Save your game, then go to the betting shop and bet all your money on a horse. You will not win every time. When you lose, reload your last saved game. Quick reload: When you are short on time for example during the gang wars , you can quickly reload by switching to another weapon. Your ammunition must be 1 to When at 0 it automatically does the longer reload. This is helpful if you are trying to get the Monster Truck. Shovel: Go into Ryder's back yard to the right of your house in the Ganton area. There is a shovel next to the back of the house. Easily unlock minigun: A part from Area 69 there is a minigun available on the cement concrete of the Kincaid Bridge in San Fierro. The one standing ahead it the most difficult to kill and keep smoke away from train otherwise all his bullets hit the train only..!! For instant killing all of them here's a trick, it worked with me :- AR one time u have to go on a high land and a train comes from ahead, here if u will quickly jump ur bike on that train and then land on the adjoining train containing the Mexicans, then they all die at one instant without hitting bullets..!! It works really!! I agree that some for example with shotgun of them are not so easy, but you can make it much easier if you first aim for the head. The opponents shoot always on the body or on the leg. If you are a fraction late and you shoot for the body or legs, you have the chance that you won't hit anything and end up with 0 or 1 point. By shooting on the head you directly have 1 point. The second shot should be to any part that is left after you shot the head. That way you will end up each round with at least 3 or 4 points and it is much more easier to win takes maybe 2 times to complete. Try and you will see it helps : 2 Vigilante. Oh yeah, this is a tough one. But it can be made much easier then is described. Of course it helps if you know the locations print a map where the police bribes can be found or learn them before you start the mission. Anyway, if the heat goes up, there is an easy way to get rid of the stars: go to a paint shop. The easiest one is the one nearby your safehouse in los santos where you start the game and drive west to the pizzaria. You will have more then 10 seconds left before you are too long of your bike and the mission fails. That way you get rid of all your stars and the mission is actually pretty easy. I completed the mission in 1 try. Submit your codes! Having Codes, cheat, hints, tips, trainer or tricks we dont have yet? Help out other players on the PC by adding a cheat or secret that you know!

Cheat: Submitted by: Ash For some rare vehicles,additional task can be done other than carrying you to other places. A vehicle called "packer" can store cars in it. The bug occurs near CJ's house. I bought in the northwest of ballas territory when it comes to fighting turf, not too far from the beach and ammuNation. While fighting a turf war normally there are 3 waves, ie you survive the first wave and then the second and when you survive the third "the hood is yours". The trouble occurs near Jefferson's neighborhood as you drive to a nearby drive to take territory. While standing on rooftops, I survive the first wave of attacks but as I shoot a lot of Ballas a couple of them run away from me and are noted as purple triangles and squares in the green grove street territory. If I wander too far from the Flashing Red "contested territory" I get a message saying to "get back into the war zone". I have stood in the war zone for 20 minutes only to just stand there with nobody coming after me, hence if I leave the war zone I don't get to win that area because after a couple minutes I lose it. Therefore I cannot simply go way out of the warzone and chase down the enemies. It is a glitch because there is no way to win the territory. Hint: Submitted by: Dhruw To easy passing the villigant mission go to safe house which contains a garrage. Put your police vehicle there and turn the mission on.

Stand on Hydra's wing: When your flying in the Hydra with the bubbleman code, apply the thrusters forward and use [Down] to aim the Hydra up. Then, monitor it for a while so it does not over or under balance, and it remains pointing up by itself. After that, leave the Hydra, but do not touch anything. You should be standing on the wing of a Hydra that should still be flying up, faster because of the thrusters. You can jump off at anytime to continue the rest of the code.

Fly it and enjoy. Millie will call you to get the card! Finish the Vigilante Missions Easily: Actually a glitch that can be taken advantage of to cheat your way through the Vigilante sub-missions. Anytime the player accesses an indoor environment and then returns outside during this sub-mission the target s with self-destruct automatically. This means no more messy pursuing. Fast Reload: When the current weapon clip you have is about to run out press the next weapon button and then the previous weapon button to equip you with the weapon that was running low. It will now have a full magazine. This trick doesn't work if you are reloading at the time of switching as you will have to let Carl reload it when you switch back. Flying Tips: Among the hardest missions in the game involve flying aircraft; chief among these would be the "Learning to Fly" missions at flight school with the many coronas in between success and you. Most players make the mistake of steering with the main flaps and not the rudder; the former are the flaps on the wings and the latter is the flap on the tail. The big difference is that steering with the former gives the player a tighter turning radius but with less precise control; the latter restricts your controls greatly and so is less popularly used. Try a combination of the two: first turn with the stick and then compensate by using the rudder. The rudder will act to stabilize your plane and return control to you. Also, know which camera to use. The default camera during flight should be the one trailing the plane that gives the widest field of view so that you can easily see where you are going as well as your relative position to the ground. The First person camera is good to use when doing the barrel roll or when using the Hydra to dogfight. Hint: Submitted by: Viswanath Keerthi In gta san andreas go to babera house make love with him to impress her more she will ask to take me a dinner,fast food,etc take him in the maverick so she will be very happy. Easy mission "Vertical Bird": Submitted by: Omega This mission isn't too hard. But there's an easy way to complete this mission: After get in the Hydra there are 2 or 3 Hydras chasing after you. Don't Worry, just find some where surrounded with rocky mountain to land the plane the desert is quite good. Then get out of the plane quickly. Keep a distance from the plane. Watch the radar and you'll see 2 red marks will disappear I guess they're 2 planes destroyed by their own rockets. The last redmark is the last Hydra. You should watch cuaze it's quite fun: it will repeatly fly around you and your Hydra and soon hit the rocks around you. After several hits it will catch fire and "go boom". Get in The plane to find the location of the agency boats, get out then destroy the boats using rocket launcher or minigun. The last thing you have to do is flying home. Get out of the plane quickyly or some rocket will hit the plane or you. If the last plane is not destroyed simply take it down by using Minigun or rocket launcher Hint: Submitted by: Omega My favourite weapon in this ganme is the barrel Shotgun I don't remember its name but it is shorter than other shotguns. This weapon is real fast and powerful. With this you can kill the target in short distance without cause damage to your health. Finding some rare car in Export car mission: I really enjoy this mission so I give this to you. Some cars will appear many before the exportin mission but after startin the mision they are almost impossible to find. I recommend to save before the mission start, then watch the list of cars. Load save, store some rare cars that you can't find them easily such as Sentinel, Stafford, Journey ect. Sometime park at bar in the country side but when the export mission starts you have to look it up in the country road. It will apear a lot. The Euros is under the sphinx. Liberty city: 1: Go in the Gym and kill all the peolp inside. Not the Whole State Itself. Easy money: This trick requires maximum bike skill for both motorcycles and a regular bike. Go to the highest building in Los Santos, the circular one, and jump off using either the motorcycle or bike. While you are in mid-air, you can spin for a little bit or try to do a back flip. Planes with two person capacity: Even though the Dodo is the most well known aircraft with a two person capacity, it is not the only airplane with this feature. There are actually many aircraft that can hold two people. Easy money: In order to waste time to allow money to accumulate without dealing with CJs eating needs, simply press Triangle in front of the television in your hideout. His health will remain constant, without him needing to eat. You can leave the PlayStation2 idling in this state to accumulate money easily. Easy money: Find a save point that is close to a betting shop. The one in the Montgomery are is ideal because it is near to the save point where you have to do the four missions for Catalina. Save your game, then go to the betting shop and bet all your money on a horse. You will not win every time. When you lose, reload your last saved game. Quick reload: When you are short on time for example during the gang wars , you can quickly reload by switching to another weapon. Your ammunition must be 1 to When at 0 it automatically does the longer reload. This is helpful if you are trying to get the Monster Truck. Shovel: Go into Ryder's back yard to the right of your house in the Ganton area. There is a shovel next to the back of the house. Easily unlock minigun: A part from Area 69 there is a minigun available on the cement concrete of the Kincaid Bridge in San Fierro. The one standing ahead it the most difficult to kill and keep smoke away from train otherwise all his bullets hit the train only..!! For instant killing all of them here's a trick, it worked with me :- AR one time u have to go on a high land and a train comes from ahead, here if u will quickly jump ur bike on that train and then land on the adjoining train containing the Mexicans, then they all die at one instant without hitting bullets..!! It works really!! I agree that some for example with shotgun of them are not so easy, but you can make it much easier if you first aim for the head. The opponents shoot always on the body or on the leg. If you are a fraction late and you shoot for the body or legs, you have the chance that you won't hit anything and end up with 0 or 1 point. By shooting on the head you directly have 1 point. The second shot should be to any part that is left after you shot the head. That way you will end up each round with at least 3 or 4 points and it is much more easier to win takes maybe 2 times to complete. Try and you will see it helps : 2 Vigilante. Oh yeah, this is a tough one. But it can be made much easier then is described. Of course it helps if you know the locations print a map where the police bribes can be found or learn them before you start the mission. Anyway, if the heat goes up, there is an easy way to get rid of the stars: go to a paint shop. The easiest one is the one nearby your safehouse in los santos where you start the game and drive west to the pizzaria. You will have more then 10 seconds left before you are too long of your bike and the mission fails. That way you get rid of all your stars and the mission is actually pretty easy.

“New Night, New Day (World Shakes Up)”, Chapter One
Summary:  Yasmin Khan is working at the University of Sheffield when a certain blonde crashes through the ceiling. Luckily, Yaz is there to catch them, but soon Yaz is catching feelings as well. And, with Sonya's wedding just around the corner, Yaz's life is about to get very complicated indeed...
Just a heads up, I am cisgender, so -if I do mess up the they/them pronouns for the Doctor- my apologies and I'll try to do better in future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                       Read on FFN.                              Read on AO3.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In retrospect, Yaz knew it would happen from the moment the Doctor had crashed through the ceiling.
Yaz (or Yasmin, to those who didn’t know her well) had been working at the University of Sheffield for about a year. For what the work was, the pay was decent and she had found herself settling in well. Universities always needed people to keep things running while the academics ran around like headless chickens, and that was Yaz’s job.
Well, Yaz and the other people in the science faculty’s administration team. Ryan, of course, she knew from school; he had been the one who had told Sonya about the job vacancy, and Sonya had told Yaz.
Yaz still wasn’t sure how she felt about Ryan dating her sister. A certain sibling protectiveness had come into play, but she had also been aware that Ryan was a really sweet lad with a heart of gold. If anything, she was worried Sonya would hurt him, as opposed to the other way around. But the two of them had been dating for a few years now. It had been a shock when they had announced their engagement, but Yaz was very happy for them nonetheless.
Graham, Ryan’s step-grandad, was going to be the best man. He was a sweet old boy, even if he was a southerner. He popped into the faculty on occasion for a chat with Ryan. Being a bus driver, Graham presumably worked weird hours.
Then there was Dan Lewis, the caretaker and odd-job man for the faculty building. A Scouser, admittedly, but still a good bloke. He’d been one of the first people Yaz had come out to.
Yaz had known for years that she was bisexual, of course, but it had taken a while for her to come to terms with it. For years, she’d thought that her feelings for other women were just platonic. But that nagging feeling at the back of her mind refused to go away. Probably for the best. Although she had been worried about their reactions, her family had all been supportive. Sonya had immediately tried setting Yaz up with every other queer woman she knew, Dad had given her a talk about how to cook for a lady, and Mum had organised a coming out party.
Yaz smiled at the memory.
Unfortunately, at that point, the ceiling above exploded. Yaz immediately darted around, as dust rained down into the room. Luckily, no large pieces of plaster fell, but… something else did. A person.
‘Incoming!’
Without thinking, Yaz threw her arms out, and caught the person in her arms.
‘Nice catch!’
Yaz’s breath froze in her mouth. The person was… something else. Blonde, with huge, excited eyes. They were wearing a three-piece suit that was at least two sizes too big for them.
Feeling her cheeks flush, Yaz gently helped them to the ground.
‘Sorry about that,’ the person said, cheerfully. ‘Dangerous stuff, is Nitro Nine. Looks like some of my pay packet is going on the repairs.’
‘Nitro… nine?’
‘Yeah,’ they replied, grinning. ‘My old mate Ace came up with it. Like normal Nitro-glycerine but with a bit more welly.’
‘And it blew a hole through the floor?’ Yaz said, putting her hands on her hips. ‘You realise how dangerous that is?’
‘Oh.’
The blonde seemed to realise this.
‘Er… whoops,’ they said, rubbing the back of their neck. ‘Yasmin, wasn’t it?’
‘Yes,’ Yaz replied. ‘Wait, how did you know-?’
‘Oh, Ryan told me. I’m the Doctor, by the way,’ the blonde reached out and shook Yaz’s hand vigorously. ‘Nice to meet you, Yaz. Can I call you Yaz? Yaz is a cool name.’
Yaz blinked, trying not to think about how warm and soft the Doctor’s hand was.
‘Oh, you’ve met the Doc, then.’
Graham had entered the room. He often popped in to have a natter with Dan about the football.
‘Yes, I- wait, how do you know them?’
‘Oh, me and Granddad met the Doctor when they first landed,’ Ryan replied.
‘Landed?’
Graham and Ryan exchanged a look.
‘Er… at the airport,’ Ryan continued, quickly. ‘The department head told us to meet them when they flew in.’
‘Oh, yeah,’ the Doctor replied, grinning. ‘Love a good airport, me. I even helped build one of the first ones. Those brothers were rubbish at making sandwiches, though.’
Yaz stared at the blonde in confusion, and then pulled Ryan over to the side.
‘Ryan, they’re a bit… odd.’
Ryan chuckled.
‘Yeah, they are. But they’re great. Honestly, you’ll love them. Loads of fun.’
The Doctor chose that moment to stuff three custard creams inside their mouth, and grinned at Yaz as they chewed.
‘I can see that,’ Yaz murmured. ‘Kinda cute, too-’
She stopped. Had she really said that out loud?
Ryan snickered, causing Yaz’s face to flush again.
                                                     *
 Yaz let out a groan, as she trudged up the stairs. Apparently, the Doctor had been several months behind on their paperwork and, as luck would have it, all of the other admin staff were unavailable. Hence why she was now carrying a massive stack of papers in front of her and heading towards the Doctor’s office on the top floor.
Dan, ever a good sport, was walking a few steps behind her with the other half of the papers.
‘Can’t the university do this stuff by email, nowadays?’ Yaz grumbled, as she reached the top of the staircase. ‘Not exactly green, is it?’
The Scouser let out a grunt of agreement, and followed Yaz along the corridor, to a door, pushed ajar, with ‘The Doctor’ labelled on it in the standard university signage.
‘Heya!’
The Doctor was, of course, not behaving normally. Their office was a mess of papers, discarded CDs and even a few custard creams scattered around for good measure. The blonde was sat in the middle of all this, legs crossed in front of them as they munched on a biscuit.
‘Your paperwork,’ Yaz gasped, gently easing the stack of paper onto the already-cluttered desk.
‘Sorry!’ The Doctor exclaimed, scrambling to their feet and hurrying over. ‘Honestly, I’d forget me own head if it weren’t screwed on. Well, most of the time anyway. You two fancy a biscuit? I’ve got loads.’
‘Ta,’ Yaz said, helping herself to a custard cream and letting out a sigh. ‘Bloody lift’s on the blink again; we had to traipse this lot up four flights of stairs.’
‘Facilities say they’ll have it fixed tomorrow,’ Dan said, leaning against an overspilling filing cabinet.
‘Oh, I could fix it!’ The Doctor exclaimed, their eyes shining as they grinned at Yaz. ‘Always was good with machinery, me-’
‘You’re not clambering around in the lift shaft,’ Yaz interrupted, quickly. ‘Please just fill out the paperwork; bit less dangerous.’
The Doctor’s face dropped a little, and they pouted.
‘You’re right,’ they said, turning to the stack of papers. ‘I swear, my brain goes a mile a minute.’
‘Er… sorry,’ Yaz said, now feeling a little guilty for her harsh tone. ‘It’s just… there’s a lot on at the minute.’
‘Oh?’ The Doctor replied, pivoting their head to one side. ‘Family? Sorry, I shouldn’t pry…’
‘Nah, it’s fine. And, yeah, it is family. My sister’s getting married soon and everyone’s going doo-lally over the wedding prep.’
The Doctor nodded, sympathetically.
‘Families are complicated, aren’t they.’
‘Tell me about it,’ Yaz said, leaning against the Doctor’s desk. ‘I could use a break from it all.’
The Doctor smiled, their cheeks dimpling. Of course, they had to have dimples. It wasn’t as if they were cute enough as it was.
‘I travel a bit, myself. I could always give you some tips.’
Yaz smiled in return.
‘Thanks, but my mum would kill me if I left in the middle of all this wedding stuff.’
‘Maybe another time.’
Their eyes met. Yaz was suddenly aware that this was their first proper conversation. And that the Doctor had a lovely smile. And that their dimples were very cute. And the way their eyes shone as they stared at Yaz.  
Oh, no.
‘Yeah,’ Yaz said, blinking quickly. ‘Er, anyway, gotta go; those emails won’t sort themselves.’
The Doctor brandished another custard cream.
‘For your return trip?’
Yaz grinned and grabbed the biscuit.
‘Ta. Dan, you ready to… Dan?’
Dan poked his head around the door.
‘Sorry, thought I’d leave you two to chat.’
‘Nah, it’s fine,’ Yaz said, quickly. She could feel her heart beating faster. Why was this so obvious to everyone? ‘Tara, Doctor.’
‘Bye!’
Yaz and Dan left the office, and headed back downstairs.
‘You and the Doc get on well.’
‘Shut up,’ Yaz said, feeling her face burn as she opened the door of the admin team room. ‘They’re a good sort. Bit nutty but nice.’
Dan chuckled.
‘Judging from the way you two were chatting up a storm, you think they’re a bit more than just nice.’
‘Not. A. Word.’
Dan picked up his broom, still chuckling, and left for his rounds. Yaz sighed, and set about clearing away her stuff. It was already getting late, and she needed to get home.
As she locked the door of the office, Yaz let out a sigh. She could still hear the Doctor knocking around in their room several flights above. Damn it. The last thing Yaz wanted right now was a crush on one of the university professors. Why did the Doctor have to be so cute? It wasn’t fair.
                                                           *
 What was even more unfair was that, the very next day, the Doctor swanned into the admin team room without so much as an introduction, and sat down next to Yaz.
‘Yaz, do you know any good clothes shops?’
‘Er… what?’ Yaz said, feeling her cheeks flush again. Stop it, she told herself, the Doctor’s just talking; nothing to get flustered about!
‘You see,’ the Doctor continued, ‘I’ve had this suit for a while, and I think it’s gettin’ a bit big on me.’
‘You don’t say.’
‘Ah, good visual deduction,’ the Doctor said, grinning. ‘You’re a smart one, Yaz. But -yeah- I’ve ‘ad it for a while and I could do with some new clothes.’
‘What sort of clothes were you after?’
‘Oh, anything that takes me fancy.’
‘So… mens, womens…’
‘Either, both, neither,’ the Doctor said, pulling a custard cream out of their pocket and jamming it into their mouth. ‘Wha’eva ‘orks, ‘ou ‘ee?’
‘Fair enough,’ Yaz said, trying not to smile too much. The Doctor was so cute when they were excited about something. ‘But why ask me?’
‘Well, you’re a good-looking girl,’ the Doctor said, matter-of-factly. Yaz felt her stomach flip over. ‘And you have a great eye for detail. So… what do you reckon? Charity shop binge at lunchtime?’
Sure enough, the clock was chiming midday.
‘Er…’ Yaz said, trying to ignore Dan and Ryan both giving her thumbs-up signs from behind the Doctor. ‘Sure.’
‘Brill!’ The Doctor exclaimed, smiling widely. ‘Meetcha outside the building in a few, yeah?’
‘Okay,’ Yaz said. ‘See ya.’
The Doctor skipped out of the room.
As the door shut behind them, Dan and Ryan immediately grinned at Yaz. Yaz ignored them, feeling her stomach fill with butterflies as she pushed her stuff into her bag.
The Doctor met her a few minutes later. Despite the drizzle, they were still wearing their suit.
‘No coat?’
‘Oh, that’s a point,’ the Doctor said, as if the thought hadn’t occurred to her before. ‘I could do with a coat; be nice to not get soaked all the time.’
Yaz chuckled.
‘C’mon; let’s get going.’
‘Fantastic!’
The Doctor grabbed Yaz by the hand and started hurrying forward. Their skin was warm against Yaz’s, and she felt her heart beat faster again. Despite her nerves, she smiled. She could get used to this. She found she didn’t mind the running through the rain, with the Doctor leading her along and grinning from ear to ear.
After a hurried scamper through the damp streets, the two of them arrived at an Oxfam. The Doctor immediately set upon the rails of clothing, grinning widely as they started pulling out jumpers, jeans, coats and even a few fuzzy onesies.
The next half an hour passed in a blur, as Yaz found herself inundated with discarded items of clothing that the Doctor had decided weren’t their cup of tea. Mercifully, this included the fuzzy onesies; Yaz would have had a difficult time explaining that to the head of department.
But, eventually-
‘Yes! That’s what I want!’
The curtains of the changing room swung open, and the Doctor emerged. They were dressed in a dark blue jumper and three-quarter-length trousers held up by braces. A pair of sturdy boots were on their feet. A blue waterproof coat completed the assemble.
‘That’s… that’s what you’re goin’ with?’ Yaz asked.
‘Mmm-hmmm,’ the Doctor replied, nodding. ‘Got any cash? Empty pockets.’
Yaz stared at them for a second, before chuckling and rolling her eyes.
‘What kind of date are you? C’mon, tight arse; clothes are on me.’
The Doctor grinned, and followed her over to the till. The Doctor didn’t bother getting changed back into their suit, and so had to awkwardly pull the tags off the clothes they had chosen for the volunteer to scan through. Yaz couldn’t help bit notice the rainbow strip across the Doctor’s new jumper.
‘Was this a date?’ They asked, as they walked back to the university.
‘Er…’ Yaz said, eyes widening. ‘I… I dunno. Never been on a date to a charity shop.’
‘Neither have I,’ the Doctor replied, smiling. ‘Oh, well; it was fun, anyway. Thanks, Yaz; you’re the best.’
Yaz felt her cheeks flush.
‘Happy to help.’
                                                           *
 ‘I need a flatmate,’ Yaz groaned, sinking into her chair. It was the next day. ‘Sonya’s moving into Ryan’s place ahead of the wedding, and I can’t afford to keep the flat on my salary.’
‘That’s rough,’ Dan said, leaning on his broom in thought. ‘Why don’t you put up an ad on the Uni intranet?’
‘Tempting,’ Yaz said. ‘But I wouldn’t want to move in with someone I barely know?’
‘Hey, Doc?’ Dan said, calling out the door.
Yaz immediately sat up in her chair, scattering several sheets of paper onto the floor. She shot a ‘don’t you dare’ look at Dan, but he pointedly ignored her and called again.
‘What?’ The Doctor’s cheerful voice made goosebumps erupt up Yaz’s arms. She hurriedly dropped to her knees and started grabbing the papers that had scattered. Why was she such a mess whenever the Doctor was involved?
Footsteps entered the room, but Yaz didn’t dare look up.
‘Yeah, Yaz needs a flatmate; do you know anyone?’
‘Ooh…’
Yaz felt her heart increase as the Doctor bent down next to her and started helping pick up the papers. Yaz’s head snapped up to look at the blonde.
‘I was looking for somewhere, funnily enough. I could do with a change of location,’ the Doctor said, grinning. ‘I’m yours if you’ll have me, Yaz.’
Yaz’s stomach flipped over.
‘Okay, you’re on.’
‘Fantastic!’ the Doctor said, patting her on the shoulder. ‘Me and Yaz; best mates, partners in crime. Gonna be brill!’
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks for reading, everyone! As the Thirteenth Doctor's era will be ending within the year (I know, I'm gonna miss them too), I thought it might be nice to write a fluffy fic that gives the Doc and Yaz a chance to just enjoy each others company without any universe-ending threats to deal with. Stay tuned for the next chapter!

Color correction edit of The Big Blow Out!
Physical newsstand issue first, digital remaster second, and my personal edit last. Market release corner box edited back in and colors corrected; first two versions for comparison. Marvel’s remaster artists work hard, but unfortunately with older pieces it's easier to wind up with dull, desaturated colors.

More of the Demon Bull Divorce AU, another one shot wherein Tang gets a phone call from a panicked Mei about an exploded truck and Red Son needing the hospital. Red Son blurts out a few secrets in the process…
also send me prompts if you want more of the Demon Bull Divorce
 Tang was sitting in his study at the university when he got the call from Mei, from what he managed to decipher from Mei’s panicked ramblings is that he needed to get to the garage and fast. Red Son and Mei had been working on the Noodle Truck while Pigsy and MK were at a Food Hygiene training course [she mentions something about installing a nitro and Tang made a note to tell Pigsy before he drove it again.] She had gotten a phone call from her dad and left the garage to answer it, luckily, she had managed to turn a corner when there was a massive explosion that shook the building besides her. She had found the truck’s fiery remains, a decimated garage and Red Son slumped against the far wall.
To be fair at this moment during the call Tang wasn’t that worried. He had seen Red Son take a jet bike to the face and only be temporarily stunned, heck he had seen on live TV the fire demon being ejected from a high speeding racing car onto the road and walk it off! Blunt force trauma was nothing the demon couldn’t handle. But Mei quickly swept away that peace of mind when she continued to tell him how Red Son had been impaled through the shoulder to the wall by a large piece of shrapnel. He told her to keep calm and wait for him and by no means call an ambulance!
By the time Tang had gotten there Mei was freaking out, she hadn’t mentioned the blood! It was splattered all around garage wall and the guilty piece of metal laid on the floor coated in it. Red Son was passed out and Mei was clinging to him trying to put pressure on the wound.
“Mei what happened? You know better than to remove objects from wounds like that!” Tang cried as he rushed over.
“It wasn’t me!” she squeaked as he checked him over “I was keeping him conscious when he just muttered something how he needed to get on with clearing this up and just yanked it out!”
Tang checked him over, he had cuts and scratches all over and the smaller ones where quickly healing, it was big ones that he was worried about. Red Son may have demonic healing abilities but even he could bleed out it seems.
“Help me get him into the car, we need to get him to Sandy’s” Tang declared as he tied the fabric Mei had been using tighter onto Red Son’s shoulder, the demon muttered something incoherent as they dragged him to Tang’s small city car.
“Hang on…Sandy’s?!” Mei asked “We need to get him to a hospital!”
“Trust me a hospital would only complicate things!” Tang declared as he drove off with Mei in the back with Red Son keeping him steady as Tang drove like a mad man through the streets, “He’s a demon remember? They don’t do well with purified water and saline would be the first thing they try and pump into him, not to mention blood types, physiology and all sort of other complications.”
Tang couldn’t help but remember the time Pigsy had cut himself badly while in the kitchen; if he remembered right Pigsy was trying to show off his vegetable dicing skills and it had gone very wrong with a deep gash on his hand. Tang had rushed him to A&E only for the nurse on duty to give him a look and told him that the veterinary clinic was two blocks away. This was twenty years ago mind you but it still put a bad taste in his mouth when he thought about it.
They got to Sandy who Mei had been called on the way there, he was ready and waiting for his patient when they skidded to a halt on the peer. Sandy wasted no time quickly tending to red Son’s wounds and applying medical balms and applying bandages and gauzes, giving Red Son a small cup of syrupy tea to help with the pain. Mei hovered close by and watched how Sandy worked with practised ease.
“Don’t worry Mei Red Son will be fine, he just needed a little help this time that’s all” Sandy declared once he was done “He’ll be up and about in…”
Red Son stirred and sat up groggily.
“Well right about now it seems” Sandy amended, Red Son looked around blearily before smiling at Tang and waving weakly.
“Heeeey Mr Tang…” he slurred “why do you smell like beetles and gold? And why does that make me hungry?”
“Red Son, how are you feeling?” Tang asked and sat in front of him who wobbled slightly as he tried to focus on the scholar before giving a happy smile.
“It’s so weird that you smell like that…oh hey Mr Tang, I feel fiiiiine!”
“Sandy? Is this normal?” Mei inquired looking at the gentle blue giant, he coughed nervously.
“I may have given him a bit too much pain relief…” he muttered.
“Dragon Horse girl!” Red Son cried happily and beckoned her over, “Great you’re here we need to get moving!” Red Son struggled to get up but failed due to his injuries.
“Red you need to keep still” Mei said gently as Tang pushed him back into the bed.
“No, no, no, no I need to get back to work on the truck!” Red Son declared “Pigsy can’t know I messed up; we need to fix it before he gets back!”
All three exchanged a look of disbelief, Red Son was pale and clearly not thinking straight. Mei knelt down in front of Red Son’s bedside so she could look him in the eye.
“Red the truck is totally trashed” she said slowly as if she was talking to a small child “there’s nothing we can do right now so why don’t you just rest for now…”
“Trashed? That means I need to work quicker!” he stated and wiggled out of bed but his legs gave out before he could even take a step and Mei caught him before he could collapse on the floor. “Maybe I could find a transmutation spell! I mean if noodle boy can do it with a stick I can do it with fire magic, Com’on dragon horse girl I need to get moving!”
“Red you nearly bled out, you need to rest!” she tried again but Red Son shook his head and was becoming distressed. Mei helped him back onto the bed but he just curled up gripping his hair with his good hand.
“I’m trying so hard this time!” he whimpered “I’m trying so hard and I’m still screwing up!”
“Red…”
“I can’t afford to mess up this time!” he cried out tears now pricking his eyes, “I have no where else to go! I don’t want to stop playing pretend!”
That last bit got the three’s attention and Tang could see Mei bristle angrily as she grabbed Red by the unharmed hand to get his attention.
“What do you mean ‘play pretend’?” she demanded, “This better not be some long con you and your parents cooked up to get us to lower our guard!”
“I wanna keep pretending that you guys like having me around” Red Son whimpered “I like it when you guys listen to me and pretend that I’m doing a good job…I know it’s only a matter time before you guys get sick of me and want me gone…I…I just don’t want that to end…I don’t want to go back to feeling alone and despised all the time…” at this Red Son broke down into tears. Mei’s suspicious anger dwindled away as she tried to console the now sobbing demon boy.
Tang glanced at Sandy who gestured at his kitchen, he gave a nod and Sandy went to go make some sleepy time tea. Tang was angrier at himself than anything now, he had hoped his experience with helping MK through his issues would have given him a sort of template to help Red Son through his. He had assumed that because Red Son hadn’t been showing any ill signs like MK had when helping him deal with his family and abandonment issues that Red Son was coping with it all. That clearly wasn’t the case and he now realised where he had made a very foolish mistake on his part.
MK had only a few years to build up his emotional walls and learn how to put on a façade, Red Son had centuries to work on his. After all it had taken him and Pigsy weeks to notice how much Red Son was reluctant to go home or the faded bruises.  
Sandy came back with the tea and handed it to Tang to give to Red Son so not to crowd the already upset boy, the poor demon looked up at him forlornly as he approached.
“I’m sorry…” he whispered “Please don’t hate me…”
“I don’t hate you Red Son, none of us do” he said tenderly as he gave him the tea to drink “I’m more upset by the fact it’s taken nothing short of you loosing a couple of pints of blood and being off your head on pain killers for you to be emotionally honest with us.”
“I’m sorry…I’ll try not to mess up anymore…” Red Son mumbled.
“Just drink this and try to rest, ok? We’ll talk more when you wake up.” Tang exclaimed Red Son downed the tea before flopping back onto the bed, his eyes fluttered shut and soon he was asleep.
 Red woke up slowly his shoulder hurting like a bitch along with other body parts. Red Son and pain were old acquaintances at this point so he took note of what might need attention as he tried to move his aching limbs; he attempted to recollect what happened.
He was working on the Noodle Truck; Mei was there he remembered that because they were discussing the logistics of installing a nitro into the truck. He was doing some routine maintenance while checking where improvements could be made when Mei got a phone call, he had begun to check the oil levels when he heard her answer the call.
“Hey dad! How’s things?”
That innocent question struck a chord in Red Son that made his heart clenched painfully and then he did something he hadn’t done in what seemed like centuries…he lost control of his powers. Before he could even think about it flames licked up around his body and normally that wouldn’t have been issue had he not been currently working near flammable liquids.
There was an explosion and he remembered being thrown against a wall from the blast, aching agony erupted down his spine followed by several sharp pains across his body the biggest one in his shoulder. His ears were ringing as he saw Mei rush up to him calling to him through what felt like walls of cotton wool. He saw the truck…oh god what a mess he needed to fix that before Pigsy saw it…he tried to get up and only then saw the large chunk of metal pinning him to the wall.
Mei tried to fight him as he grabbed the metal and tore it out, by the gods that hurt but he needed to get moving, there was work to be done and besides this wasn’t the first time he had done this. However, when he tried to cauterize the wound shut Mei was putting her hands over it with her jacket and getting in the way. He didn’t want to burn her by accident but she wouldn’t let go of him… he didn’t remember what happened after that because things got very fuzzy very quickly.
His last thoughts before he blacked out was that he needed to remember to grab a mop there was messy puddles splattered all over the place…
He finally opened his eyes and looked around and saw Pigsy sitting next to his bed, wait how did he get here? Oh crap Pigsy was here! He hadn’t fixed the truck!
Pigsy glanced down at him and noticed he was awake, Red Son felt his gaze burn into his skull.
“How you feeling?” the pig man asked gruffily “Heard you got hurt badly”
“I’m fine!” Red Son blurted “I’ll be up and moving in no time, don’t you worry demons heal fast…” he sat up and tried to move he wobbled but stayed up straight. “I’ll get back to work now okay?”
“Sit back down!” Pigsy barked and Red Son looked at him annoyed to be ordered around but saw that look of displeasure and sat back down. Cold dread now filled Red Son’s chest, he hadn’t fixed the truck he had left a huge mess and Pigsy was obviously mad at him. But if he was going to get punished then he was going to at least face it like the demon prince he was.
“My apologies, as soon as I am able I will repair the…” he started but Pigsy just glared at him even more angrily.
“You seriously think I’m worried about the truck?!” he snapped “Tang told me what happened! You had been skewered and nearly bled to death!”
“Oh…” Red Son stuttered.
“Don’t worry about the truck, MK has trashed and reassembled that thing so many times I’ve lost count.” he explained,
“So…you’re not mad?” Red Son ventured softly.
“Listen Red, I’m more upset about the fact that you are more concerned about a freaking hunk of junk than your own health!” he explained.
“So, I can stay?” came the quiet reply.
“You thought I was gonna chuck you out because of this? Red if I did that MK would have been out on his butt several times over!” Pigsy explained “What matters is that you’re ok, you really scared us there”
“You’re really not mad at me?” Red Son asked again, the idea that he wasn’t getting punished for this wasn’t quite sinking in yet.
“No, I’m not mad and I’m not going to kick you out or punish you or whatever else messed up thing you got cooked up in your head!” Pigsy declared “What we will be doing is talking about this idea you got that your place in this family is based solely on what work you can do, cos it ain’t! you’re a good kid Red you don’t need to keep proving your value, you need to be able to see that we care despite what you can or can’t do…”
Red Son was looking down at his fists that clench and unclenched at the blankets on the bed. Pigsy was worried for a second that none of that had sunk in and if anything he might have made things worse somehow until he heard a hoarse whisper.
“You said…This family…” Red Son repeated so quietly “I have a place in this family? You really want me around?”
“Yes!” he sighed happily and put his hand on Red Son’s arm. “Yes we do!”

WCW Monday Nitro 09/09/1996
Shit be exploding, so you know what time it is.
Tumblr media
Yes sir.
Tumblr media
Once again we are not given a location this week, which generally means the town is too small-time for the big shots at WCW to even consider giving a shout out to. My research tells me this broadcast comes from the Columbus Civic Centre in Columbus, Georgia.  
As always we are introduced to our first hour announce team, Schiavone and Zbyszko.
Tumblr media
Tony is looking quite smart this evening. Larry as expected has a horrific multcoloured abomination on underneath his jacket. It’s basically his gimmick a this point so whatever. 
They talk about how the balance of power has shifted to the nWo and Larry says Giant is “the biggest traitor since Benedict Arnold”, nice ancient reference there, Larry. We get a recap of last week’s awesome show-ending brawl. 
Once they’re done wrapping this up, Goldberg’s music plays. What? I check my file - yes, definitely 9th September 1996. Has Goldberg time travelled back to 1996 and changed history by debuting early?
Tumblr media
Well, either that is one hell of a disguise or no, actually Goldberg’s theme music was first used by this Japanese guy called Pat Tanaka. It’s really weird seeing this random fella walk out to Goldberg’s music. The crowd boo mildly - I guess just because he’s Japanese? I don’t remember there being any storyline reason to boo him, anyway. 
Pat’s opponent is... this.
Tumblr media
Looks like a mascot from a early/mid-90s video game brought to life. If this is Super Calo then I am curious as to what regular Calo is like. I am unsure as to what makes this version ‘Super’, but maybe we’ll find out in the upcoming match. Mike Tenay joins the announce crew because it is Calo’s debut and Tenay is the only one likely to know anything about him.
Pat Tanaka vs Super Calo
I was kind of hoping Tanaka would start the match with a spear and then jackhammer Calo into oblivion, but no such luck. 
As one would anticipate from a man dressed like a stereotypical kung-fu master in an 80s movie, Tanaka starts the match off with some kicks.
Tumblr media
Calo jumps around pointlessly and then gets kicked in the face. Bants.
Tenay tells us Calo’s name and look comes from the “top rap group” in Mexico. He does not name this group. Confusingly wikipedia claims Calo is named after a Mexican rock group with the same name, but his image is meant to convey a rapper. So, just... what? Also what rapper has ever looked like Super Calo? In Mexico is that how rappers dress? 
Tumblr media
Well anyway this odd fellow somersaults over the ropes onto Tanaka outside of the ring. 
The screen then cuts to this.
Tumblr media
 Then we’re back to the match. OK then. 
Tanaka hits Calo with a powerbomb, which leads to Tony talking about him being “so schooled in the martial arts”. Yes, because we all know that classic martial arts move the powerbomb. Often followed by a leg drop and a scorpion deathlock. 
The ending to this match is beyond ridiculous. 
First, Tanaka puts Calo onto the top turnbuckle.
Tumblr media
Neither man seems to know what is meant to happen next, so they awkwardly wrap their arms around each other.
Tumblr media
Tanaka then lifts Calo up like he’s going for an inverse piledriver and falls backwards.
Tumblr media
Apparently he knocks himself out, gets pinned, and loses.
Tumblr media
What an idiot.
Super Calo defeats Pat Tanaka via Pinfall.
Nothing too super about our friend Calo in this one I’m afraid. His victory came largely because Tanaka is a super dunce.
We got some lads in the front row who are big fans of the classic moustache.
Tumblr media
They seem quite pleased that Calo emerged victorious.
Just under seven minutes in and we throw back to Mean Gene in the locker room with Rick Steiner. This should be good.
Tumblr media
Shirts hanging out of the lockers behind them, as you do. 
Gene asks Rick Steiner about Nick Patrick’s questionable officiating - referring to the incident last week where Luger was disqualified in seconds for basically nothing. Rick says that he had Luger, and Gene saw it. Total bullshit as the match had barely started, and Gene does point that out. 
Luger walks into the frame as we see last week’s replay. Rick is continually going on about how he was going to win, sounding like a mentally challenged three year old. On the other hand this is a guy who also genuinely thinks he’s a dog, so... I should probably be impressed that he is able to form words and put them into a somewhat coherent structure.
Gene says that Steiner is “a little confused” in the understatement of the century, 
Tumblr media
Luger tells Rick that he’s “a great tag team wrestler” but he feels like he has the edge in a singles environment. Rick continues to fail to understand basic english and keeps repeating “I can beat you, ask Sting” and then starts calling for Sting.
Gene then ushers Rick away like an unruly child as Luger walks off as well. Gene says that Luger was alluding that Rick “doesn’t have it upstairs”, pointing to his head. Wow, what a dick. Luger didn’t say anything like that. All he implied was that he was a better singles wrestler than Rick. Not sure where Gene has gotten his interpretation from, but my guess is he just wants to stir the pot as usual.
Next it’s nWo announcement time.
Tumblr media
Just the usual t-shirt ad with Nash saying “all proceeds go towards the Ric Flair retirement fund”. Joke’s on him, that fund must have accrued some serious cash before it was finally paid out.
We’re back and...
Tumblr media
Somebody buy these poor kids some real nWo t-shirts. 
Tumblr media
Where did these people come from? Did they decide to stop by Nitro after a corporate dinner or something? 
Tumblr media
Are these pilots in the audience as well? Wtf? Why are all these people coming to the show dressed in their work clothes? Is this a common thing in the States?
Oh, hey, guess what - Glacier debuted. I would say “remember all that hype” but if you’ve been reading this sad collection of nostalgic drivel then you will indeed remember the many Glacier adverts that have been on every Nitro broadcast since May or so. We’re now in September and Glacier finally had his first match... on WCW Pro.
Seriously.
Tumblr media
WCW Pro is like... Sunday Night Heat or Velocity in WWE terms. It’s below WCW Saturday Night for fuck’s sake.  Tony calls it “one of the most eagerly anticipated debuts ever” - which is why he made his first appearance on WCW FUCKING PRO. Oh WCW, what are you like?
Larry says Glacier will be “a force to be reckoned with”, which, spoiler alert. turns out to be the opposite.
Tumblr media
  Oh good, these two walking charisma vacuums.
Tumblr media
And these two lumbering idiots. WCW, the best wrestling on the planet. How could WWF in 1996 find no way to entice people away from Pat Tanaka vs Super Calo and The AFC vs the Nasty Boys? Seriously. It isn’t that difficult. 
The AFC do their usual schtick of singing the Canadian national anthem badly and the crowd get angry because ‘Murica fuck yeah and whatever. The Nasty Boys say “fuck this” and attack the AFC after about 10 seconds of this bullshit, getting the match started.
The Amazing French Canadians Vs The Nasty Boys
You don’t care about this match. I don’t care about this match. Let’s just skip to the end.
Tumblr media
Knobbs whacks the eyepatch guy with the flag the AFC brought out. Saggs pins for the win. 
The Nasty Boys defeat The Amazing French Canadians via Pinfall.
Mean Gene comes scurrying out to interview the Nastys, for some reason.
Tumblr media
Saggs says everybody has been pointing the finger at the Nasty Boys, accusing them of being with the nWo (can’t imagine anybody really cares but OK, sure). Saggs says the Nasty’s are only worried about the tag titles which are in WCW, ergo they aren’t interested in joining the nWo. Does he not realise that faction affiliation is irrelevent as far as challenging for belts is concerned? I mean, Hogan is literally WCW Heavyweight champion at this point in time. 
Knobbs says that the Nasty’s don’t care about the nWo, they’re in WCW and they’re coming for Harlem Heat to take the tag team titles. Short and to the point, which is fine by me, even if the Nasty’s appear to be under the mistaken impression- that joining the nWo would invalidate them from challenging for the tag titles. 
We’re back from a commercial break to find Scott Norton and Sgt Craig Pittman in the ring.
Tumblr media
Sgt Craig Pittman Vs Scott Norton
The commentators bill this as a “hold versus hold” match and I’m not sure what this means, as I was under the impression every match is hold versus hold. But whatever. 
After some back and forth Pittman decides that it’s time to ram his head into Norton’s sternum. 
Tumblr media
It looks pretty painful and not especially effective, but Pittman enjoys it so much he does it again. 
They head to the outside of the ring. Norton gets whipped against the guardrail, the entirety of which moves upon impact, but then Norton regains control by slamming Pittman’s shoulder into the ring post. 
Tumblr media
Norton locks in the armbar but the Sarge will not give up. Long gets onto the ring apron to beg Pittman to give in, but he won’t. WCW, for reasons beyond my understanding, is very careful about protecting Sgt. Craig Pittman. He never gets pushed, as far as I remember, but this man WILL NOT QUIT.
Then... 
Tumblr media
Ice Train wanders out wearing this abomination. Seriously - what the fuck? It’s like a demin vest with a backpack built in. It’s something you would expect to see an eight-year old girl in the mid-90s wearing over the top of a t-shirt or something. What clothing brand figured that this design was suitable for huge, beefy dudes? I don’t know, but they clearly have a customer in Ice Train.
Train throws in the towel for Pittman.  
Scott Norton defeats Sgt. Craig Pittman via Forfeit. 
Tumblr media
He enters the ring and stares down at Norton, who is looking at Train’s vest top and moobs like “dafuq?”
The two former amigos have a staredown which doesn’t lead anywhere. 
Tumblr media
Pepboys Power Pin of the Week is a submission. Go figure.
We head to the locker room where Gene-o is with Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and Lex Luger.
Tumblr media
Three of these men are dressed appropriately. The other is Lex Luger.
Apparently Sting is supposed to be a part of this interview as well but is nowhere to be found. Luger assures Flair & Arn that Sting is in the building, but the Horsemen are having none of it and are concerned that Sting doesn’t have his head in the game. Flair starts going crazy and practically flings himself into an alternate dimension with his erratic movements.
Tumblr media
Like a jet propeller is being put directly in front of his face.
Anyway eventually these two sad sacks come lumbering in...
Tumblr media
Mongo looks like he’s about to explode, whilst Benoit as usual appears barely awake. Mongo yells about not being able to count on Luger and Sting. Luger reiterates that Sting is in the building somewhere, he’s just not around for the interview. The Horsemen do seem overly paranoid here - how hard would it be to track Sting down and talk to him if they are this pissed off? 
Arn says he’s called ahead to Winston, Salem (where Fall Brawl/War Games is being held) to pre-book himself a hospital room as he assumes he’s going to need one. Seems like a somewhat pessimistic thing to do, but is it even possible to pre-book hospital room? Arn is talking like he’s booked a hotel room for the night. Strange lad. He also suggests Hogan uses battery acid to burn out his eyes which... I mean, don’t give the guy ideas, Arn.  
Interview ends with everybody talking over each other and Flair wooing a lot - so, the same as most Horsemen interviews.
Tumblr media
People in the crowd are holding these signs which say “nWo - you haven’t seen bad... but it’s coming!” - indeed, Hogan Vs Piper is coming.
We get a recap of this thrilling DDP/Eddie/Chavo storyline which nobody cares about, but why this is recapped is beyond me as the next match has nothing to do with any of those three. 
Instead, out comes “the desparado” himself, Joe Gomez.
Tumblr media
Somebody throws a wad of paper at him as he enters. Obviously not a fan.
His opponent is Juventud Guerrera,  who Tony repeatedly refers to as Juventud Guerrero. 
Tumblr media
As Juvi enters he runs past these ladies, who appear both baffled and unimpressed with him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cold.
Joe Gomez Vs Juventud Guerrera
The match starts off okay, but descends into disaster fairly quickly as Juvi starts trying various lucha things which poor Joe is clearly not comfortable with. First Juvi stands on the apron, jumps onto the ropes as Gomez slowly walks towards him and does this...
Tumblr media
It’s clear from this angle alone that there is no way in hell Juvi is going to reach Gomez. In fairness to WCW they switch camera angle just in time to make it look slightly less terrible, although I imagine it was more down to luck than skill. Nonetheless Gomez at least tries to sell the move, falling backwards theatrically.
Tumblr media
Weeee! Points for effort if not execution. 
This happens next, and thanks to Uproxx “Best and Worst of WCW Monday Nitro” series (check it out, it’s great) I have a GIF to put into pictures what I would struggle to put into words.
Tumblr media
Speaks for itself.
After this Juvi seems to want to go for a hurricanrana from the top turnbuckle but I‘m not sure if they botch this as well or it was the plan, but Juvi ends up backflipping away from the turnbuckle and then catching Gomez with a weak looking dropkick as he jumps towards Juvi.
Juvi just about manages to hit the finishing move...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But even that looks a little bit dodgy. At least Joe just had to lay there for this one. Ref counts to three and mercifully this one is over. Not sure if Gomez or Juvi are to blame for this shitshow, but either way I advise never putting them together again.
Juventud Guerrera defeats Joe Gomez via Pinfall.
For some reason Mean Gene is on the ramp to interview Nick Patrick. Oh good, more of this storyline.
Before they start the interview though, as Juventud walks past Gene and Patrick, Gene says “very good match there on the part of Juventud Guerrera”, then gives Juvi a disdainful look and mutters “guy just kind of... wanders around here”. LOL. Why is Gene throwing shade at poor Juvi? “Guy just wanders around here”, like he’s a lost child or something. I guess Gene is still salty about the interview with Juvi that went wrong a couple of weeks ago, but come on, that was hardly Juvi’s fault. Obvious Gene is still holding a grudge though. 
Tumblr media
I don’t think anybody really wants to hear from these two ballbags but here we are anyway. 
Gene is accusing Patrick of making too many controversial calls for it to just be coincidence, whilst Patrick is accusing Gene of being a shit-stirring cock cheese who needs to get a life. Neither are lying but nobody really cares either. What is funny is that Okerlund is very haughty and dismissive of Patrick - until Patrick threatens to take Gene to court - at which point Gene stutters “well I-I hope that doesn’t happen” before saying “thank you very much Nick Patrick, sir, thank you” to Patrick as he walks off. Pathetic. 
Tumblr media
Meanwhile Hogan, Hall, Nash and the Giant are outside in the pouring rain putting those nWo flyers with the “you haven’t seen bad... but it’s coming” slogan on random cars. This seems like a total waste of time as by the time the car owners get back to their vehicles the rain would probably have destroyed those flyers anyway.  Do these guys really have nothing better to do? Tony tells us the nWo are “literally” in the parking lot - as opposed to what, being there in spirit?
Tumblr media
Ted DiBiase is the smartest of the lot as he 1) has an umbrella and 2) isn’t wasting his time putting up useless flyers in the pouring rain. He’s talking to somebody in the car, and the announcers are shitting themselves as to who it might be, as they tend to do. For all they know DiBiase might just be talking to the driver. 
“HERE’S A STORY OF TWO BROTHERS, RICK AND SCOTT!”
Tumblr media
Just Rick tonight. He comes out doing that sad half-bark he does whenever something is troubling him. 
His opponent, of course, is Flexy Lexy.
Tumblr media
Rick Steiner Vs Lex Luger
These two are not exactly known as ‘ring generals’ so I am not expecting a classic here. Let’s see, though. Perhaps we will all be pleasantly surprised. 
After various arm drags, headlocks, shoulder blocks, and so on, this happens.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Uh...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah. Rick is basically molesting Luger in the ring and keeps this up for a disturbing amount of time. I guess it’s meant to show his amateur wrestling background but it basically just looks like sexual assault. Rick’s hands are going to places they really should not. 
Tumblr media
Hour two begins with the usual fireworks. Bischoff, Heenan and Tenay come in on commentary for the rest of the show. 
Tumblr media
Rick hits Luger with a nice powerslam, and Randy Anderson cannot bear to watch the impact. The crowd bark their approval which, personally, I don’t think is helpful. Rick’s clinical lycanthropy is only going to get worse if people bark at him when he does something good. Or bark at him in general, really.
Tumblr media
More cuddling. Back away, Rick. Even Randy Anderson is telling him to cut it out at this point.
Luger takes control with a powerslam and signals for the rack. However, before he can attempt his finishing move...
Tumblr media
This dicksplash comes running out waving his arms around. Looks like he’s doing the sieg heil there but fairly sure it’s just the timing of the screenshot.
Anyhow, Patrick tells Luger to follow him out the back, yelling something about the nWo beating up Sting.
Tumblr media
Considering Patrick’s recent behaviour, Lex, it might not be wise to...
Tumblr media
OK. Never mind. Of course Luger goes running after Patrick, abandoning the match entirely and getting himself counted out. 
Tumblr media
Everyone looking towards the entrance way like “where’s he going?” 
Rick Steiner defeats Lex Luger via Countout.
Tumblr media
We get a shot of DiBiase talking to the mystery man in the limo. Sting’s voice is heard but it is blatantly piped in from some other promo. He says he’s “tired of the DTA stuff, don’t trust anybody”, so I guess he’s not a fan of Stone Cold Steve Austin. DiBiase pretends to talk to the pre-taped Sting voice until Lex shows up.
Tumblr media
A guy who is clearly not Sting gets out of the limo and starts beating up Luger whilst Bischoff screams “NO! NO!”
I have the advantage of hindsight and my monitor is probably bigger than most people’s TVs back in 1996... but still, it’s really obviously not Sting. Were people genuinely fooled by this? 
Tumblr media
The nWo along with “Sting” beat Luger down and leave him laying in a broken heap in the rain...
Tumblr media
It has not been a good night for Luger. First he got yelled at by the Horsemen, then he spent ten minutes getting inappropriately touched by Rick Steiner during their match, then he gets smacked around by the nWo and left on the ground in the pouring rain. Bad times for sure. Although if you’re stupid enough to follow Nick Patrick anywhere... 
Luger does manage to get back up but ends up just kind of wandering around in the rain looking confused whilst the nWo flee, leaving the limos parked outside the building.
Tumblr media
These bois are not impressed by what they have just seen. Tenay looks like a dad who is about to grab his belt and put a whippin’ on somebody. Bischoff is indignant. Heenan wears the expression of a man who was just forced to sit through every Raw from 2015. Pure torture. 
Bischoff says he has an update which is literally “we don’t know where [the nWo] are. I’m sorry. I don’t know”. Well thanks for that. Very helpful. 
We get a long recap of last week’s angle including more footage of the amazing all-out brawl that ended the show. Then we get another nWo advert for their t-shirt. 
A bunch of random jobbers are outside with Luger and Rick Steiner milling around the limo yelling out “DIBIASE!” - as if he’ll just pop up and be like “sup bois?” - pointless endeavour. Rick Steiner is the only one smart enough to bring an umbrella outside. Let that one sink in. Luger chucks a bunch of stuff out of one of the limos onto the floor which seems unnecessary. 
Tumblr media
Out comes pre-Flock Billy Kidman. The commentators could not care less, just droning on about Sting’s supposed “defection”. 
The other combatant in this contest is Cruiserweight champion Rey Mysterio Jr.
Tumblr media
Rey Mysterio Jr Vs Billy Kidman
The announcers spend the entire match in ‘sad voice’, like their dogs have all collectively died. It’s really annoying.
The match spills to the outside very quickly. Rey gets the advantage and rolls Kidman back in. He attempts to jump off the ropes from the apron, but Kidman knows what’s coming and meets Rey with a dropkick to the chest.
Tumblr media
Kidman slams Rey in the centre of the ring, runs over to the turnbuckle and leaps off.
Tumblr media
Just a two count though. Rey wins the match soon after this by flipping off the ropes onto Kidman.
Tumblr media
It looks weak but whatever. This wasn’t anything special.
Rey Mysterio defeats Billy Kidman via Pinfall.
We come back from a commercial and the Dungeon’s of Doom’s “music” is playing, and I put that in inverted commas because it isn’t really music, just a pseudo-creepy OTT villainous laugh accompanied by some kind of chant. Whatever. Normally any sign of the Dungeon is enough to make me want to hang my head in despair, however!
Tumblr media
If Meng is involved, it might be somewhat entertaining. Just to note those aren’t two random arms sprouting out of Meng’s shoulders – the Barbarian is behind him.
The announcers are still going on about how tragic Sting’s supposed betrayal is – and Bischoff apologises for “not giving Rey Mysterio the attention he deserves in his match”. I mean, kind of tough to take that apology seriously considering how often this has happened and will continue to happen until Nitro goes out of existence. It is the only time I can recall any commentator in WCW actually apologising for the routine ignoring of the cruiserweights in favour of talking about/complaining about the nWo, though.
Tumblr media
These two are the opponents. Yeah, Public Enemy, they definitely deserve that pyro. Sure. Look at them waving their hands in the air like they just don’t care.
By the way, the commentators are still going on about Sting. I wonder if we’ll get another apology for ignoring this match as well? Not that I’d necessarily blame them here.
Tumblr media
Some diehard wrestling fans here. I think we saw them previously – seemingly someone in production has taken a liking to these ladies. They look like they got lost on their way to a PTA meeting, but fuck it, might as well enjoy themselves now. Watch out for the dude behind you though, ladies. That smile worries me a little.
The Faces of Fear Vs Public Enemy
We go to a commercial break, and as soon as we come back Bischoff says “I hate to keep repeating this, but apparently Sting has joined forces with the nWo”. Bullshit, if you hated it that much you’d have shut up about it by now. I mean, jeez, we get it.
This contest is just a brawl, as you’d expect. Not exactly a match for the ages, but all of a sudden, randomly…
Tumblr media
This dude on the left appears and begins running/skipping around the ring.
Tumblr media
The fuck? It’s like Rockstar Spud’s demented uncle or something. 
He briefly chases Jimmy Hart, then just… vanishes? Oh, and by the way, the commentators make no mention of this. They do not acknowledge this at all. Why? Because they’re talking about everything except the match itself. Literally, I’m not kidding, it’s like this match is not happening. It’s like listening to a radio show or a podcast spliced together with unrelated WCW footage.
Tumblr media
Wait, what? What’s happening now? The match is ongoing and they just cut to the back. Judging from the faces of these lads you’d think someone died. It’s a sombre scene to say the least – but seriously, why even have the match in the ring? What’s the point? The commentators are acting like it isn’t happening and we cut to an interview as the match is happening. Bischoff doesn’t even note that we’ve cut away from a match in progress, he just says “take it away Gene”, like this is totally normal. Whatever, I guess. It’s not like I’m desperate to see the Faces of Fear versus Public Enemy, but what a bizarre way to structure… everything.
Gene asks Arn to explain what happened in the parking lot earlier. Seemed quite self-explanatory to me and the commentators have not stopped talking about it since it happened, so the viewers really don’t need any extra information.  
Arn says he doesn’t give a shit about Luger losing a friend, or that he’s lost a team mate, he’s just shocked. He brings up Sting’s loyalty to WCW.
Tumblr media
They actually move to a split-screen here – I guess someone in the production truck remembered there is actually a match going on. It wouldn’t be fair to deprive the dozens of Faces of Fear/Public Enemy fans the chance to see their favourite grapplers go at it.
Anyway, Arn says he has a sick feeling in his stomach, he’s shocked, and he’s out of words. He’s said quite a few already, though, so not really.
Tumblr media
Flair stands there with his arms folded, eyeing the audience like a disappointed father.
Luger says he doesn’t have any answers, and that his “best friend in the whole world” stabbed him in the back. He then says he knows where Sting lives and where he works out, and he’s going to go and find him “right now”. Sounds like Lex is planning to murk Sting. However, he should keep in mind this is a guy who only last week tried to murder somebody by chucking a rock through the window of a limo, then stole a police car. Come to think of it, I’m not sure why Sting isn’t in jail. Regardless, I wouldn’t be chasing after him without a good plan.
Flair screams that he’s “sick of it” and just generally yells about how they’re going to beat up the nWo at War Games (including Sting). Arn says “it’s a fight to the death – yours, not ours”. I suppose that was worth emphasising? Also Arn has a tendency to see these matches as ending in death, even though it never comes close to that.
We return to the Faces of Fear/Public Enemy match. By “we” I mean the audience – the commentators are still talking about War Games. I genuinely don’t think they have said anything about the match – oh, wait a minute, Bischoff does mention the match, finally. Although he says the teams are “literally fighting for their lives” which is not exactly accurate. What is up with these people thinking matches are going to end so tragically?
Anyway, the brawling continues for a while and eventually, somehow, Rocco Rock ends up lying on a table. Barbarian heads for the top turnbuckle.
Tumblr media
Guys, I don’t foresee this ending well. Seriously, what is the absolute best result of this? Rocco (who can clearly see Barbarian on the turnbuckle) for some reason lays there and lets Barbarian jump on him. It’ll be brutal for both. Or, Rocco moves and Barbarian crashes through the table. Either way Barbarian doesn’t win in this scenario.
Tumblr media
Uh oh. Jimmy Hart is absolutely useless at holding Rocco down, kicked away like an insect as Rocco sits up.
Tumblr media
That is a fucking sick bump. It’s funny because Barbarian barely takes any serious bumps at all, on Nitro at least, then he decides to say fuck it and leaps to the concrete through a table because YOLO I guess?
Well anyway he dead. Rocco brings a second table into the ring.
Tumblr media
Looks pretty old. Nick Patrick wags his finger in disapproval, but incredibly that isn’t enough to persuade Public Enemy to stop. They lay Meng on the table, then Rocco goes to the top turnbuckle for a moonsault…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He almost misses the table entirely, only catching Meng with his legs. The table is weak enough that it breaks despite the soft contact.
You’d think that would be the spot that ends the match, but no. Meng gets up like nothing happened and starts brawling with Rocco again. Barbarian is also somehow revived and back in the ring fighting with Grunge. This is weird because the outside table spot with Barbarian getting wiped out, and then Meng getting put through the table by Rocco’s moonsault, felt like the end sequence of the match. Now it’s like we’re back at the start again. Keep in mind the match has been going for about 10 minutes now. That’s at least 7 minutes longer than is ideal for these teams, really.
Tumblr media
Whilst Rocco and Barbarian are hugging it out in the corner, Meng puts the Tongan Death Grip on Grunge and now this one is over.
No explanation as to what the fuck was going on with that random ginger guy running around the ring earlier by the way. Oh well. During the replay Heenan accidentally calls Meng “Haku” and then goes silent immediately. Oops.
The Faces of Fear defeat Public Enemy via Pinfall.
Suddenly Okerlund appears at ringside, accompanied by the Dungeon of Doom.
Tumblr media
Maxx, Jimmy Hart, Big Bubba, Gene, Kevin Sullivan, Hugh Morrus and Konnan. To quote Rufus from Final Fantasy 7 – “what a crew”.
Tumblr media
Sullivan is no longer painting his face with those stupid markings, but for some reason is now wearing a white headband. Does he think he’s the Karate Kid now?
Tumblr media
He also starts making this derp face - and this isn’t just a screen grab catching an awkward expression momentarily, he’s making this face on purpose.
For some reason we go to Jimmy Hart first, who tells the Giant “it’s the beginning of the end for you, you just don’t know it yet”. I’m sure he’s quaking in his boots.  
Big Bubba then rants about Glacier, talking about him saying he’s coming for “6 or 7 months” and asking if he’s not debuting because he’s afraid. Slight exaggeration on the 6 or 7 months from Bubba, but to be fair it does feel like those vignettes have been running for at least that long. Bubba actually doesn’t seem to be aware that Glacier debuted on WCW Pro, but it’s WCW Pro, so... understandable. Bubba calls the Dungeon of Doom “the masters of intimidation”…
Tumblr media
What he means is that Meng is the master of intimidation. The others aren’t exactly adding much to the equation. Maxx is standing off to the side looking distinctly unimpressed by the entire thing.
Tumblr media
With that said, bored does seem to be his default expression regardless of what is happening. I imagine he’d have the same expression even if Bubba was in the process of sprouting three heads whilst doing a kossack dance.
After calling Gene “homes”, Konnan calls Sullivan a “hardened veterano”. He then says Sullivan has seen and led gang wars from coast to coast.
Tumblr media
Yes, Kevin Sullivan wearing that silly white headband is exactly what I think of when I think of leaders of gang wars. Sullivan’s ‘wut?’ expression here says it all. I’m not sure you can call the Dungeon of Doom/Alliance to End Hulkamania Versus Hogan and Macho Man a “gang war”. I’m not sure two people can even constitute a gang. Also Sullivan may be worried Konnan is unintentionally (?) implicating him in genuine gang wars… which probably isn’t in the Taskmaster’s best interests.
Konnan challenges the nWo to come out and confront the Dungeon, who he calls “the toughest set”. Yeah, sure. The challenge is not accepted, because the nWo are for sure terrified of a “gang” featuring the likes of Maxx, Kevin Sullivan, Big Bubba and Hugh Morrus.
Sullivan says that Savage thinks he’ll owe the Dungeon “a debt” for carrying him out from the ring last week. I doubt it in all honesty – maybe if they’d actually done something to help him before he’d been beaten down and spraypainted. Carrying him out after the fact didn’t really help much.
Anyhow, Sullivan says Savage can repay this fictional debt by first beating John Tenta, because why not I guess, and then by getting rid of the Giant. That doesn’t really seem like a balanced deal. We carry you backstage after you’ve been beaten up, you make it even by beating John Tenta and the Giant. Hmmm.
Tumblr media
Time for some nWo propaganda.
Hogan tells us that they “aren’t here for a stinkin’ reason” – directly contradicting Nash and Hall, who had previously made it clear they’d come in specifically to take over WCW. He then randomly says “we’ve got our boss with us” and points to Ted DiBiase, who’s sitting in a chair behind them.
Tumblr media
Homely. DiBiase looks like he’s being held prisoner, but whatever. Hogan says DiBiase makes Ted Turner look like a “pauper”. Honestly I could try to recap this whole thing but it’s really just a bunch of random sound bytes ripping on WCW for the most part. They talk about wanting “their own tag team tournament” for some reason. They also want a segment (on Nitro, presumably) where they can “highlight” their talent. What they actually mean is a segment highlighting Hogan, as we’ll discover going forward. Scott Hall says “nWo 4 life” with the hand sign (might be the first instance of this?) and they all end the segment laughing like it was an amazing joke.
Tumblr media
I was a satellite dish owner back then – or rather, my parents were - but no WCW PPVs in the UK, sadly. We only got a butchered hour-long version of Nitro on TNT UK during 1996 & 1997. I didn’t find out that I’d been watching an edited version of the show until many years later. At least now I can sit back and relive the glory of the Faces of Fear Vs Public…. eh, maybe TNT UK were doing us a favour after all.
Tumblr media
Back with your bois at the announce desk. Tenay once again has that “stern dad” look, whilst Heenan seems to be whimsically remembering something from years gone by. Take a guess as to what Bischoff is talking about?
A)     The upcoming main event
B)     Meltzer being wrong about everything
C)     Blue Chew
D)     Sting’s betrayal
If you’ve been following along thus far, you’ll know the answer. The lad does genuinely hate big Dave though, and loves that Blue Chew. Come to think of it, what is the main event? I can’t even remember. Sting’s supposed betrayal has been hammered into my brain so many fucking times at this point I can barely conceive of any other event occurring at any wrestling show.
Chris Jericho’s music plays, but…
Tumblr media
It’s John Tenta? Still got that stupid haircut by the way. Seriously, fish man, you’ve made your point. Get that shaved.
But yeah, I’m confused here. I thought Jericho was coming out. But hold on, that’s Jericho’s second theme, “One Crazed Anarchist”, aka the Pearl Jam ripoff, not the one he’s using at this point in WCW, which I believe is the Journey ripoff. So John Tenta is in fact the OG “One Crazed Anarchist”. For the record, the theme suits Jericho far more than it suits the former Shark.
As he comes out Tenta says “Savage, you’re not putting me down”. You think so, John?
Tumblr media
What exactly has that guy in the hat been up to? That is not the look of an innocent person.
Tumblr media
Ohhh yeahhh, it’s the Macho Man. The commentators are pretending that the result of the match is in any doubt, which I suppose they have to do.
John “anti-fish” Tenta Vs “Macho Man” Randy Savage
Savage storms to the ring, but that turns out to be a bad idea as Tenta stomps on the Macho Man’s back as he slides in and then clobbers him with a forearm to the back.
Tumblr media
Bad strategy, Macho. Tenta’s moobs though… whoa.
Tumblr media
That’s an interesting choice of attire for a wrestling event, madam.
Tenta works over Savage in the corner for a bit. Savage then begins to make a comeback, before for some reason attempting to slam Tenta…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Goes about as well as you’d expect. Macho really needs to work on his strategy.
Bischoff actually specifically says here that Heenan accidentally referred to Meng as “Haku” earlier and wants to make it clear Meng now works for WCW and not the WWF. I guess they were really taking this kind of thing seriously due to the lawsuits flying around at this point in history. Funny though, as you hear these kinds of slip-ups all the time. I mean, if TNA or AEW were sued for every time a commentator accidentally used a competitor’s ex-WWE name there would need to be a legal department created specifically just to deal with the fucking volume. At least Heenan didn’t call it “WWF Nitro”.
Tenta hits Macho with a decent looking drop kick – quite impressive considering his weight. Outside of the ring Savage hits Tenta with a steel chair…
Tumblr media
He isn’t disqualified because…? He whacks Tenta twice more with a chair. This is not a no-DQ match, but it is WCW, so fuck the rules unless we need them for storyline purposes, right?
Tumblr media
Flying elbow drop!
Macho goes up for a second, but then Teddy Long comes to ringside yelling “Macho!” – what could the so-called “godfather” want with Savage? Also where’s my man Ice Train at? Come to think of it, I just remembered what he was wearing earlier… best for him to stay backstage.
Tumblr media
Savage still hits the second elbow drop. Long is gesticulating wildly at Savage and yelling something about the nWo. Savage leaps over the top rope with nice agility.
Tumblr media
But before we go any further…
Tumblr media
Son, I am disappoint. I can’t even say “A for effort” because that is the lowest tier of effort.
Anyway, Savage follows Teddy to the outside of the arena where Teddy announces “YOU GONNA GO ONE-ON-ONE WITH THE UNDERTAKER PLAYA!”
Actually, they run towards a limo.              
Tumblr media
The limo drives off as soon as Savage approaches it. What was the point of that?
Tumblr media
Flair and Mongo randomly appear as the limo drives away.
There’s another limo there, but only a box of spraypaint inside it. There are a ton of WCW guys out there now – the Horsemen, the Dungeon, Public Enemy, Juvi, Super Calo, Savage… basically everyone who was on TV tonight. They start spraypainting “WCW” on the limo windows… or rather, they try to. Due to the fact it’s been raining and everywhere is wet it ends up just looking like a green smudge. As an aside, if that is in fact not an nWo limo, somebody is going to be in for a surprise.  
Tumblr media
For some reason the commentators are all standing up. Tenay is looking more evil every time he’s on camera. It’s like he wants to reach through the camera and strangle each and every viewer.
Seriously though, he is repeatedly making a “pissed-off dad” face.
“Dad, I borrowed your car…”
Tumblr media
“Um… and… I got a speeding ticket…”
Tumblr media
“And there’s a dent on the front as I kinda sorta knocked over the mailbox…”
Tumblr media
Grounded forever.
Anyway, once they all sit back down Heenan goes on a rant about the nWo which concludes with “if we don’t stop them now then they can’t be stopped”. If only you could glimpse into the future and nWo 2000, Bobby.
Oh, by the way, I guess John Tenta won the match against Savage by count out? It wasn’t announced or shown, but Savage jumped out of the ring and never returned, so…
John Tenta defeats “Macho Man” Randy Savage via Countout.
I guess Tenta was right, Savage didn’t put him down after all. Score one for the fish hating weirdo.
Tumblr media
Double A suddenly appears on set. Heenan gives Arn his headset. Can’t help but think it’d be better for Anderson to be in the ring with a mic, as the fans in the arena can’t hear any of this… but whatever.
Arn says that the world is “in shock” and “outraged”. The world is probably a bit of a stretch, but OK. Flair turns up as Arn is talking, as do Benoit and Mongo. Arn says that this all began ten years ago with the original Horsemen, and that they paved the way and showed the nWo how to do it. Technically true. Arn says the nWo want to be the Horsemen “when they grow up”.
Tumblr media
Tenay continuing to give that evil stare, even at Arn. Bischoff looks kind of sad.
As an aside, I may have mentioned it before, but I really like this shirt design:
Tumblr media
Bischoff begins talking about making mistakes, but Flair interrupts him. Flair screams so loudly that the headset seems to take some damage as the volume decreases slightly. Flair explains War Games – although if you don’t know what it is by this point then what have you been doing with your life? – and says Hogan won’t leave War Games alive. Spoiler alert: he does.
Bischoff then talks about how maybe bringing Hogan in to WCW was “a mistake” and that the Horsemen “haven’t been given their just due”. The same exact sentence could have been said in 2000 and been even more relevant.
WCW then ends the show with a replay of Luger getting beaten up by “Sting” and the nWo. I’m sure he appreciates that. A good thing they reminded us, as I think a whole ten seconds passed at the end there without mention of Sting’s betrayal and my memory had started to go hazy.

Extra Part 9
Tumblr media
U.A. a school for students to learn how to become the best Pro-Hero. When young Y/n Midoriya returns from her traveling to be accepted through recommendation. What awaits her when she meet the explosive blonde Katsuki Bakugo
Words- 3062
Katsuki Bakugo x Midoriya!Reader, Izuku Midoriya x Cousin!Reader
Warning-Spoilers from show and Hero license Arc, and fighting scenes.
Series Masterlist
You had followed Bakugo around the city-like district for a while with no encounters with any other examinees. “Bakugo you shouldn’t just run off.” You called after him as he began climbing up a ladder to a highway.
“Hey Kaminari why did you follow us?” Kirishima asked right behind you as you all climbed.
“I dunno. Cause you guys started running then Y/n followed. I didn’t wanna end up alone” Denki answered. “Where are we going?”
“SHUT UP.” Bakugo yelled not wanting to be with you all.
“Why you always gotta be so mad?” Denki complained.
“I told you to chill out Bakugo.” Kirishima scolded the blonde, “Looks like there’s a lot of people up there.” Bakugo was the first to get onto the street with you following and Kirishima and Kaminari behind you, “So I think the four of us should work together.” Kirishima states.
“Go die.” Bakugo huffs
“Come on man.” Kirishima groans.
You sigh following the blonde “We just need to find someon-”
“LOOK OUT!” Kirishima yells as he pushes you forward out of the way of an attack. He grabbed by some flesh like blob
“Kirishima!” Denki cries out you watch in horror as he is smushed up into a ball of goop and that’s when you see that you're not alone. In front of the three of you is a student from Shiketsu holding the Kirishima blob surrounded by more blobs of other students. ‘I think his name was Shishikura’ you thought “What the crap. Did that really just happen?” Denki looks at the blobs of students.
“All I know is that bastard looks like he’s to blame.” Bakugo growls out stepping forward, “So I’ll kill him.”
“I’m from Shiketsu. Please notice my school keeps our hats on when we’re working,” Shishikura stated, holding the blob of Kirishima that twitched and moved every so often. “Why’s that because each and every one of our movements is crowned by the legacy and honor of our school.” He drops Kirishima, him falling, lying with the other blobs. “This is a demonstration. Proof of the difference in level between my peers and your vulgar class. We value obligation and dignity things that appear to be sorely lacking among you.” 
Bakugo smirks back at the student in front of you three “I really hate your type.” 
Kaminari pales and glances at you “He’s hard to follow. Makes me feel kinda dumb.”
“He said his beady eyes are full of tears, so he can’t see how strong his opponents are” Bakugo mocks him making you chuckle.
“My eyes are dry and handsome, thank you!” He yells
“Hey. Maybe don’t provoke this guy?” Kaminari tries to warn Bakugo, “Look what he did to Kirishima!” A ‘tch’ comes from Bakugo as both him and the Shiketsu student glare at each other.
“U.A High I have respect for your school. I take pride in the fact that our institutions are treated as equals.” He leans forward flesh coming from behind his back, “But your class is shameful, you act in ways that disgrace heroes.”
“He’s attacking again! I don’t wanna be gross!” Kaminari hides behind you as you watch to see what Bakugo is going to do.
“Bakugo don’t do anything reckless.” You warn him
“Shut up! ‘Obligation?’ ‘Dignity?’ you just like to hear yourself talk. I don’t see any proof. Show us with your actions, not your cheap words. If you can.” He taunts him a grin on his face.
“Beast. You’re worst of all, Bakugo!” He yells kneading five fingers out of thin air and launches them towards you all. You get ready to defend a red haze surrounding your hands, while Bakugo uses one of his special moves.
“AP Shot. Auto-Cannon!” Little explosions are sent flying towards the fingers destroying the flesh some of the explosions hitting Shishikura. “I had to make a weak version so I didn’t kill anyone.” Bakugo smirks as Shishikura gets back up 
“You know what, this is why everyone’s terrified of you- you’re way too hardcore!” Kaminari watches his friend in fear. The flesh that Bakugo had destroyed started floating back to Shishikura’s arms.
“So those weird flesh things just float back to him?” You question as his arms go back to normal.
“I see now. I’ll teach you a lesson by breaking you.” He calls out more flesh leaving his arms surrounding him.
“Uh Bakugo you better think of something or we’re gonna end up like Kirishima.” You called out ready to fight.
“This will show you what it means to be dignified and behave like a hero!”
“What is up with this disgusting dude?” Kaminari shivers grossed out by this whole situation.
“He thinks he’s better than us,” Bakugo rushed towards him, “But I bet he’ll shut up when I-”
“Hey, wait don’t forget we’re in the middle of a test!” Kaminari calls out as you both watch as the blonde goes to attack,
“That’s exactly why I’ll kill the guy!”
“Bakugo stop, we have to focus on the task at hand.” You yell out.
Flesh shoots out towards Bakugo as Shishikura yells, “Absurd!” You and Kaminari both rush to fight as you use your quirk to hold pieces of flesh while Bakugo explodes them.
“Ugh let’s get this fight over with,” Kaminari puts some projectiles into his new gear and fires towards him, “Maybe this’ll speed things along.”
Shisikura dodges. “You should work on your aim.” He comments sending an attack towards Kaminari but you stop it sending the flesh back to him creating a shield in front of you and Kaminari as more flesh heads towards the two of you. “And your look. Maybe I can make you something more appealing.”
“Enough talk. Die!” Bakugo yells, sending another AP Shot towards your opponent. A huge explosion happens, smoke covering your field of vision clearing to show him covered with flesh in front of him as a shield.
“You’ve left yourself open.”
“Kacchan!” You yell but are too late when there is a lump of flesh on his shoulders.
“What the-”
“You weren’t paying attention. I had a piece of flesh sneak beneath us. You saw Kirishima earlier once I touch you, you’re my plaything.” Bakugo struggles to free himself as he begins to get smushed into a lump
“Bakugo!” Kaminari and you both rush to his rescue.
“Hey! Idiot! Fix this!” Bakugo yells at you, tossing something to you, and you both have no choice but to watch him turn into a lump of flesh like the others. 
“Pathetic. You must be remade from scratch.” You both look at the blob that is Bakugo that squirms.
“No way!” Kaminari eyes widened and you look at Shishikura with disgust.
“This is a demonstration. The test has an unusually low passing rate at first this seemed counterintuitive given our current world. With All Might retired, wouldn’t it make more sense to flood the streets with heroes? And so, I must assume that their goal is to weed out the riff raff. We can surmise that they’ve starting to be more selective in order to bring the profession of hero to a higher level. And I agree with this way of thinking so I decided to thin the herd myself.” Shishikura rattled on about the reason he was here.
“You’re not even focusing on the test.” You frowned.
“You’re ignoring the test because you think you’re superior? What are you, a crazy person?” Kaminari looks at the guy across from the two of you in confusion.
“I’m simply separating the mediocre and extraordinary,” He brings his foot up pressing down against the lump of Kirishima, “By the way, your comrades here still feel pain in this form. Your untamed electricity will torture your friends if you use it.” He points out and he was right Kaminari quirk can sometimes go out of control when he uses it.
“Ugh you’ve been doing nothing but hurling insults at us this entire time. I’m kinda starting to take it personally, ya know.” Kaminari sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose.
“Then perhaps you are more self-aware than I thought I’d take time to reflect on your failure.” He sends flesh fingers towards the two of you.
“How about you reflect on this!” You yell, throwing the object Bakugo had given you a explosion happening, sending his attack halting.
Both you and Kaminari dodge a piece of flesh heading towards you, “Those ugly-ass gauntlets of his aren’t just some kind of fashion statement. He can use that gear along with his nitro sweat to create simple grenades.” You replied, getting ready to retaliate.
“That’s it! He tossed it to you.” He put the pieces together. You and Kaminari both stood fully a red haze surrounding your hands as the same red followed your eyes.
“By the way, big shot.” Kaminari called out holding out his hand that had sparks coming from it, “You stumbled into a really killer spot.” Shishikura tries to run away but you use your quirk to keep him in place as Kaminari fires electricity at him. He falls down sparks coming from him, it all made sense with Kaminari new gear he would be able to attack without hurting his teammates. That was the same thing with Bakugo; he had used smaller explosions not because he wanted to test out a new move, so he wouldn’t hit Kirishima, Kaminari, and you. He actually had you all on his mind.
“Listen up. Bakugo might seem like a total jerk on the surface, but he’s actually trying really hard to be a pro hero.” You defend the blob of a friend in front of you and you could see that Bakugo was slowly going back to normal. “He threw that grenade to me while being attacked. That was a result of calm judgement and planning and Kirishima is a such a good dude that he rushed into enemy territory for his friends, even thought it was a totally stupid thing to do.” you continued on as Kirishima started going back to normal. “You only know bits and pieces of these guys. Don’t insult what you don’t know!” You yell a ball of red energy forming at your hand and Kaminari readies his electricity.
“I’ll teach you both to be more aware of your place. You degenerates!” He yells and you both get ready to attack but a punch to the gut by Kirishima stops him followed by an explosion sends him flying back.
“The more damage he takes, the more people get released.” Kirishima points out.
“No wonder he was only using long-distance attacks.” Bakugo replies and they both turn to the two of you.
“Thanks for the save you guys.” Kirishima nods.
“You idiot. What took so long?” Bakugo yelled, flicking your forehead “Oww I just saved you guys.” You rubbed the spot he flicked.
“Why are you so mean?” Kaminari cries, “No one’s ever gonna like you if you act that way! Woah, look behind you!” Kaminari points behind you three. “Those other flesh balls are all waking up.” You watch as the other capture students turn normal getting up. Bakugo licks his lips looking at the multiple students
“We’ve got targets.”
The four of you standoff to the new opponents. One opponent looks and sees the four of you standing across from them. “Hey! They’re from U.A.” They yell and everyone else notices as well and gets ready to fight.
“So game plan?” Kirishima asks, hardening one of his arms.
“We fight.” You yell running past them going straight into fighting, knocking down a few students with a blast of energy using hand to hand combats mixed in with your psionic energy.
“You heard her.” Bakugo smirks rushing after joining in on the fight. You and Bakugo work in tandem you using your quirk to weaken them physically then sending them Bakugo way to finish them off with his quirk. You also used your quirk on the defensive stopping people from hitting your friends targets and you own as well. Bakugo and Kirishima were able to get their two targets with Kaminari following right after. You made you way over to one of the students that were knocked out going to get your final person.
“Y/n watch out!” Kaminari yells and you turn just in time to see someone rushing towards you trying to hit your target. A red haze surrounds their body as they almost touch you but you bend backwards, one of your arms going to the ground as the other flings over your head. The person follows right as you bend back flying right over you hitting one of the walls getting knocked out. You stand upright getting your final person the target on you lighting up blue and you turn to look at the three guys all of them shocked. Some are better than others at hiding it, Kaminari’s jaw is on the floor as you go over to them.
“That was so cool Midoriya.” Kirishima compliments you and you smiled.
“Cool! That was so badass you were like woosh and then that guy went right over you. How did you even do that?” Kaminari was fanboying over what you just did making you laugh and Bakugo huff.
“Relax Denki, I’ve just been training a lot now that’s all.” You patted him on the shoulder heading off toward the designated area for people who passed. Kaminari turned to the other guys
“She called me Denki.” He freaked over a girl calling him by his first name,
“That is your name though Kaminari.” Kirishima pointed out.
“Yeah but she didn’t call you guys by your first name huh.” Kaminari pointed to the two other boys.
“Shut up Spark Plug.” Bakugo growled explosions popping from his hands.
You had finally made it away from the city area and was heading towards the anteroom when an announcement went off “Oh. 4 more one after the other our total’s at 83.” The voice droned off continuing to announce.
“Whoa, this entire arena’s going insane.” Kirishima said as you could see fighting happening off in the distance.
Kaminari looked forward before pointing “Hey, look, some of our classmates.” You could also see that Izuku, Uraraka, and Sero had passed as well. “Aw, yeah! Class-A represent!” Kaminari cheered heading over to the three of them.
“Oh you know it! Our class is amazing! We did it!” Uraraka smiled and her and the three other boys began to dance leaving you, Izuku and Bakugo on the side. 
“Hey Izuku! What happened to your face?” You rush over to your cousin looking at the cut on him, coddling him making him turn red. You both saw Bakugo making his way over to you two.
“So you passed, too. How’d you manage that, Deku?” His face showing hidden anger
“Kacchan. Hey!” Izuku greeted him and you could see he was getting nervous. 
“Guess I shouldn’t be surprised with that Quirk you got.” He grumbles walking past the two of you and you hear Izuku gasp and begin to freak out. “It looks like you’ve made that borrowed power your own.” Bakugo said, walking off to the anteroom.
You look over to your cousin and he seemed deep in thought at what Bakugo had said. “Izuku does Bakugo know about your quirk?” You both begin to make you way out of the arena with the others following behind you.
“Uh that’s complicated.” You both enter the anteroom seeing more of your classmates there.
“Oh, hey! What a relief. I was starting to get so worried.” Momo smiled as you guys walked up to her.
“No need to worry about us, Yao-momo.” Kaminari answers, “What’s up? When did you guys pass? You been here long?”
“We just finished as well. Todoroki beat us.” Shoji pointed over to where the bi-colored boy was sitting.
“I was kinda shocked Bakugo wasn’t here already.” Jiro added seeing him arriving with the group. “But I get it now. It’s because you were with him.”
“Oh come on! Why is everyone dragging me today? Y/n and I actually helped them!” He cried out in frustration.
“Oh I know she probably had to watch over the three of you to make sure you passed but surprised you did something.” Jiro looked over to you.
“They were completely helpless.” You tease them and Bakugo is ready to beat you up will Kaminari cries feeling dumb. You head over to where Izuku is and there he was talking to Todoroki.
“Looks like only twelve from our class have passed.” Todoroki gets a headcount of the people you’re with.
“So nine more to go.” Izuku states and Momo walks up to the group. “And the announcement said only 17 spots left.” You all look at the tv where it was showing live footage from the arena. Come on guys you can do it.
Ms. Joke and Mr. Aizawa watch from the bleachers as the fight continues on. “Wow. seven people just passed at the same time. That leaves only ten open spots.” The announcement goes off. Ms Joke laughs standing up seeing the people heading towards the anteroom.
“Ha! Those seven were all from my class! See e’m? They’re heading into the anteroom.”
From inside the anteroom you see more people come in all not from your class.
“Looks like our class,” Momo trails off.
“Still has nine people who haven’t passed.” Jiro finishes for her as the time begins to run out, “I hate to say it, but it’s not sounding good for us.”
“Come on guys you can do it.” You whisper to yourself watching the tv. You all watch as UA comes together taking out a swarm of examinees and then you hear the alarm go off.
“The last students passed! Every stop is now filled. One hundred students will advance! The end is finally here! Wah-hoo” The announcer yells excitedly. 
“Yeah!” Kaminari and Kirishima cheer as you class freaks out.
“Our entire class passed the test, I’m so excited!” Uraraka beams, throwing her hands up
“Aw, man! I am so proud of us!” Sero cheers.
“We all made it!” You smile looking around at your other classmates.
“We really pulled it off, you guys.” Izuku sighs out in relief as your classmates on the field begin to join you all. A step closer in getting our licenses.

So I'm reading the Iron Man Extremis comics, and I have questions, what triggers Tony to all of a sudden push for superhero registration? Is he registered? What does Speedball have anything to do with it? What happened in Stamford, CT? How did Maya Hansen just get plucked out of prison with no repercussions? Is there something going on between her and Tony?
If you’re only on Extremis this is all going to be answered later if you keep reading, but if you actually want spoilers:
1. There are a couple things that trigger Tony to push for Registration; one is the events of Execute Program, the next arc after Extremis, in which Tony’s brain gets hacked and he is mind-controlled to murder a bunch of people. (He’s about to kill Steve when he manages to stop his own heart.) Because of this, he starts to believe that there really ought to be some kind of oversight of superheroes. He thinks he and all the other superheroes are basically weapons and that there should be some kind of registration. The other is the Stamford incident itself. Prior to Stamford, Tony was actually against Registration and in fact went to DC to testify against it (this is in a Spider-Man arc, because Peter goes with him) but after Stamford happens it’s pretty clear that Registration is going to pass, no matter what anyone says about it.
Tony’s actual motivation for joining Registration, which he finally reveals in Casualties of War, is that he knows what the government plans for Registration would have been without him there, because when he was the Secretary of Defense he had access to the files for Project Wideawake. There would have been Sentinels, power inhibition, genetic testing to identify and then control anyone with powers. (We know he is absolutely right about this because What If? Civil War shows us a universe where Tony dies during Extremis and isn’t around to run Registration and this is exactly what they get and pretty much everyone else dies fighting Sentinels.) So Tony figured that the only way to stop these things from coming to pass was to join Registration and that way he could (and did) implement it in a way that was less dystopian than that. Yes, many of the things he did were Definitely Not Good (and many of them were not actually a necessary consequence of his position on Registration), but also fewer people died than otherwise would have.
He also becomes the director of SHIELD at the end of Civil War, but he’s basically blackmailed into doing it by the current Secretary of Defense who tells him he’s going to let the public know about everyone he murdered during Execute Program.
2. I mean, since he’s running Registration, I sure hope so, don’t you? Seriously, though, yes, he’s registered; to show his support for Registration, he makes his identity public (again) in Civil War: Front Line #1 so at that point everyone (including the government) knows who Iron Man is and where he lives.
3. Speedball is basically the guy who gets blamed for Stamford.
4. This is all covered in Civil War. The Stamford incident was when the New Warriors (a team of relatively young heroes, including Speedball) decided they needed good ratings for their reality TV show and decided to fight the villain Nitro. Nitro’s superpower is that he can make himself explode. The New Warriors entered the fight very, very close to a school, and the resulting explosion killed several hundred people, including a bunch of kids. So the US government goes, “Oh no, this is terrible! If superheroes had proper training, they would know not to do this, and this wouldn’t have happened!” and they pass the SHRA. Then when Speedball eventually turns up alive, he’s imprisoned until he agrees to register, at which point he gets to go be a superhero again and he changes his codename to Penance and has a new costume with internal spikes, one for each of the people who died at Stamford because this whole thing understandably really fucked him up.
5. Tony breaks Maya out of prison during Execute Program so she can help him try to fix his brain (due to the mind-control). He phrases it as “parole” but, seeing as how he just flies in there and grabs her, I’m pretty sure it’s an actual prison break. After the war she’s actually out on actual parole -- when we find this out, Tony says he’s going to get her a presidential pardon but I’m not sure if this actually happens -- and she works for Tony at SHIELD. And then she fakes her own death and goes to work for the Mandarin who is trying to kill Tony and pretty much everyone else, so that could have gone better.
6. As far as I know, not at this point; they start sleeping together after Civil War. (Yes, this is after she’s already tried to kill him once.)
Hope that helps!
