A nearly 80-meter (260-foot) concrete obelisk with Soviet stars at the top that was the center piece of a monument commemorating the Red Army’s victory over Nazi Germany, has been demolished Thursday in the Latvian capital Riga.

Victory Park is one of the nicer, larger parks in Pasadena. It does feel like a collection of sports fields though. Also, it’s right next to Pasadena High School and I’m not exactly sure which fields belong to the park vs. the school. The 24.6 acre park is mostly flat with grassy areas (mostly sports fields), with a playground, three softball diamonds, one baseball diamond, multi-purpose field, sand volleyball court,
There are restrooms, a snack bar, picnic tables, drinking fountains, and a recreation building. There are lots of different trees, mountain views, and a wide concrete path. On Saturdays, the Pasadena Farmer’s Market is held here.
I have a question: I haven't read DOTCs but I have read the guides, and the guides Grey Wing is my fave and I've been warned he gets absolutely destroyed in the DOTCs books..so, what are the differences in Guide Grey Wing and SOTC Grey Wing?
BOTC!Graywing only has about a paragraph or so of information on him, and it points towards him being an ancient warlord type. I really like and miss this version, because it reminds me of something straight out of the Seven Military Classics.
We know that he was specifically an ancient leader of WindClan, back before leaders took -star as part of their names. Using some simple deduction from the history we know from SOTC, this means he was a leader before there were official Clans, and before Windstar. Just warring groups without borders.
Onestar refers to him as a tactician, and explains that he invented the practice of strategic placement using stones and drawings in his den like a little kitty war room.
These tactics mostly have to do with battling in open fields, so we can assume;
There were a lot of battles taking place in the moor
Graywing the Wise was involved in a lot of battles, so he could develop and test these ideas.
It's not much, but it's interesting. Paints this idea of a Moorland Warlord... Moorlord, if you will.
DOTC!Gray Wing has a couple of scenes where he's talking strategy or vaguely referencing a tactic, but he spends 3/4ths of his VERY short life having meltdowns at the idea of combat because Hurting My Sweet Brother Makes Us Just As Bad :(
(Camera pans and Sweet Brother Clear Sky is tying a woman to train tracks and cackling maniacally)
MOST of his life is this. He's like 2 years old when he dies of asthma and he only started having opponents to plan battle against in the last few months.
Most of the fights he's involved in before that are spontaneous-- and even less are commanding armies as was implied in BOTC.
He also half leads "WindClan". He's a joint leader with Shadowstar for a while. Anyway, DOTC also tosses him a pity mate because his first two love interests got fridged. His adopted kids like their abusive biodads more; one of them even vows to avenge Tom the Wifebeater, a man she met once who got her mom killed.
Aaaand that's the difference. I think it's obvious I like the BOTC take more.
thinking about how the island where luffy was raised is called Dawn Island and how he embarks from it and 2 years later we’re at Wano where people have been waiting for the Dawn for a very long time and Luffy is here to bring it
re Jupe. it’s about the horror reaching out from the past, it’s about the lamp shade foreshadowing, it’s about learning the wrong lesson from the worst thing that ever happened to you, it’s about pain as entertainment, it’s about blindness—willful and accidental, it’s about predators versus prey, it’s about being swallowed up and taking years and years to digest!
