The December Coup

December 1, 1989

The December Coup was the biggest coup to ever hit the Republic of the Philippines. Around 3,000 elite Philippine Marines, Scout Rangers, and other Armed Forces personnel took part in the coup that attempted to overthrow the administration at the time. In the initial day of the coup, rebel forces not only managed to secure armor and groudn attack aircraft, but also captured important military facilities. The National Capital Region and many of the surrounding areas thus became a battlefield for several days, as loyalist soldiers held their ground against the rebelious troops. In the end, government forces won, but not after heavy casualties and losses in equipment.

Can I get Jetstream Sam from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance?

Jetstream Sam from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance would be Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Straws Screamin' Hot!

[whirlwindflux]

“I think all these fans are starting to get to your head Flux,” JetStream teases.

Flux: it’s been a warm summer, need all the fans I can get!

[rad-hound]

Since your ask box is open, do you think Jetstream Sam & Raiden would listen to The Weeknd & Lana Del Rey Songs together ? :))

Perhaps! If that is what you think. That's the beauty of headcanons, really; one could believe any such thing that makes sense to them on a personal level, and somehow it just sticks. I'm very much the same way with my own.

I do believe they'd enjoy Lana Del Rey, however. I'm also a firm believer that Sam is a connoisseur of old school rock and heavy metal, and would thoroughly indulge in the likes of Mastodon, Ghost, and Dream Theater. Raiden, on the other hand, feels more like a The Moody Blues sort of fan. As a collective, however, I believe, on their off-days, they enjoy some Aphex Twin to wind down to.

They can mosh out together, as a treat.

Ask Jetstream Sam

Is this what you people do now? Whatever, let’s get on with it. I am Jetstream Sam, member of the Winds of Destruction. You can ask me anything about myself, Desperdo or Winds, and I will ask to the best my contract allows.

The Philippine Army Air Corps' Baptism of Fire

December 10, 1941

The Philippines was at war. The US Naval base at Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese Navy, while US Air Corps installations in the Philippines were bombed by Japanese aircraft from Formosa. These two attacks resulted in heavy loses on American ships and aircraft. With the destruction of most of the aircraft of the United States States Armed Forces - Far East (USAFEE), both the US and Philippine forces had to rely on the remaining US Air Corps aircraft, as well as the Philippine Army Air Corps' 6th Pursuit Squadron.

Under the command of Captain Jesus Villamor, the 6th Pursuit Squadron was deployed at Zablan airfield, ready to take to the air in an event of a Japanese air raid. On December 10, 1941, the pilots of the squadron heard the sound of distant church bells, thus alerting them to an impending air attack. Rushing to their outdated P-26 fighter aircraft, they began taking off just as Japanese Zero fighters started to strafe their airfield.

In the battle the followed, four P-26s fought against the more advance Japanese Zero fighters. Despite the disadvantage towards the Filipinos, the squadron managed to evade the Japanese fighters by hiding in the clouds. Because of this no Filipino aircraft was lost that day. The same could not be said for the Japanese, as they lost two fighters that day, with one kill going to Villamor and a probable kill going to Lieutenant Juliano.

Over the next few days, the Filipino fighter pilots in their P-26s would engage the Japanese in hit and run attacks. In the end the 6th Pursuit Squadron shot down three enemy planes, while losing two of their own in air battles.

By December 24, due to the rapid advance of Japanese ground forces, the Philippine Army Air Corps was forced to abandon their planes, while their personnel retreated to Bataan and Corregidor to help in the defenses there. Because of that the pilots and mechanics were forced to destroy their aircraft.

The Filipino pilots of the 6th Pursuit Squadron fought bravely, despite being outgunned. Their exploits are the legendary and are still remembered today. During the late 40s, as the Philippine Air Force was reorganizing, the 1st Fighter Squadron was redesignated as the 6th Fighter Squadron in honor of the legendary unit that fought in the early days of World War 2.

I LOVE this picture so much!! It makes me so amazingly happy that people recognize and remember my silly love for gar and will actually draw my characters with my favorite critter! Especially now that I live in an area where gar are banned as aquarium pets it’s really nice being able to have them at least in drawing form ;w;

Since you grew something so wonderful for me I wanted to draw something back but sadly with art block and illness I was really struggling to finish this piece and now that it’s past the season I figured it was better to post what I have then nothing. I hope you like my sketch though! I saw you drew Heartistry next to a ray not too long ago and I figured she’d love to dress as one!

Thank you again for drawing JetStream dressed as a gar ;w; makes me so happy

Inktober 7: Mermaid

@temper-temper's Jet Stream comes swimming in as a mermaid for today! Not just any mermaid though- an alligator gar based one! Mermaids can be based off other kinds of fish, right?

[temper-temper]

I feel the question must be asked, what has Fairchild done with Jetstream?

When I do though- I’m going to post on on @ask-jetstream

It’s just a lot to process and to rewrite since her current story doesn’t work anymore. Besides figuring out timelines with my friends and her family, got a lot of work ahead of me!

[yandereunsolved]

now we've talked about sadistic yanderes in mgs, namely liquid and ocelot, Idk if there's any others that fall into that category

Do you think there's any that would enjoy getting hurt by darling/darling fighting back? Ik there's an actual world I just can't spell it and I can't Google it without closing outta tumblr while I'm writing this 💔

Masochists or masochism are what you are looking for.

So our three categories are sadists, masochists, and sadomasochists.

SAM! SAM! SAM! SAM!

YAYAYYAYAYAYAY SLOPS YOUR SHIT CLEAN OFF

favorite thing about them: HIS SMARMY ATTITUDE i love that smug piece of shit so much. i like how he was always kinda sarcastic as shown in the dlc but he doubles down on it in the main game.

least favorite thing about them: actually playing as him /lh regular combat is fine but bosses are a fucking nightmare. dlc armstrong you are the only video game boss that has caused me genuine physical pain

favorite line: PRETTY BOYYYY

brOTP: i dont really like sundowner but i like the way he and sam bounce off each other

OTP: sam x meeeeeeee ✨ /j. i used to not really care for samuraiden but its grown on me i will admit. t4t transhet divorce ouroboros foreva <3

nOTP: sam x monsoon i just cant get into it

random headcanon: TWO ACTUALLY. 1) he got the scar over his right eye from the guy that killed his father and 2) chronic back pain sam. the exosuit has a built in back brace.

unpopular opinion: i don’t think he was “secretly good all along” actually. weird take that i’ve seen a few times but saying he was secretly good would be missing the point of him losing his ideals and becoming disillusioned at the end of his dlc. the whole point is to show that sam is what raiden could become if he just accepted defeat. you can try fixing him thats fine but he was never “secretly always good” IMO

song i associate with them: COWBOY DAN MODEST MOUSE! honorable mentions go to i will not bow breaking benjamin (or anything breaking benjamin for that matter) and neon blade moondiety

favorite picture of them: i hate him i want to kill him /lh
