longshot/sgt fox + turn

immediate thoughts: coruscant rush hour traffic and watchman bent bullet trajectories, kennedy conundrum, parkour

aaaaand i just realized this said SGT fox dammit dammit dammit OK u get a bonus (under the cut), while I go write the right Fox smdh@myself

“I know 501st is our companion battalion and all, and I do want to see those yahoos again, I do, but at the cost of having to hot-bunk? Sheesh, haven’t had to trade off a bed with a brother in a hot minute.”

“Oh, quit your bitching, Longshot, because if the logs officer hears you he might assign you to share with someone who farts uncontrollably, or wets the bed or something,” Trapper teased loudly, grinning. “Oh look, it’s your turn. Wish ya luck!” With that he gave Longshot a shove up to the billeting window.

The logs officer, who had a side-shave and a little neutral symbol tattooed on their face peeping out from the fall of curls across their other cheek, glanced up at him and passed a smaller-than-usual stack of bedding out of the window. “Your five-oh-first partner has the rest and is already in residence,” they intoned with the air of having already said it a hundred times and planning on scores more. “3-76 in ba—hang on—“

But Longshot had already snatched up the auto-printed tag of flimsi. “3-76 in bay 22, what’s the matter with it?” he inquired with an edge of suspicion.

The logs officer sat on their hands and looked like they’d been dared to shoot the extremely salty, sour undiluted electrolytes from a ration packet. “Nothing,” they said tersely, impatiently.

“Uncontrollable farting? Pees the bed?” Longshot pressed, and the logs guy bit back a smile in spite of themself. They’d definitely heard Trapper giving him a hard time.

“So…?”

“Nothing,” they repeated. “Just, ah, recognized my own bunk number—I promise I’m not some yahoo who makes a mess, don’t worry. You’re not weird or gross or anything either, are you?”

“Depends,” said Longshot flirtatiously, leaning on the window’s pass-through ledge, “on just what weird kind of mess you mean.” He winked reassuringly.

Behind him Trapper groaned.

“Hm,” the trooper said, noncommittal.

“You got a name, new bunkmate?”

“What’ll it take for you to turn that tag back over to me?” they countered.

“Your name,” Longshot insisted, pushing his luck.

They stared at him for a moment, considering. “You’re holding up the line,” they finally said, prim as anything. “I’ll find you later, I’m sure. Move along.”

Smirking, Longshot stepped off. “Well, you know where I sleep.”

Bonus (cdr fox):

“I said you could fill out your ranks with shinies, Two-Four, not kriffing Jedi, you absolute cheat!

“I did not! And kark off with that number bullshit, Tenten. In front of my men?”

“What the hell do you call this, then?” Fox gestured to the impossible marked trajectory, motions abrupt and infuriated. “There is no way in the realm of un-force-assisted physics that a trooper could pull off a longshot like that.”

“Oh, I like that,” said an awed voice behind Fox and he whirled to see the starry-eyed shiny listening in—not that he was being particularly circumspect in his tirade. “Can that be my name, Commander? Longshot?”

“No,” said Fox direly in the same breath as Cody overruled him.

His voice was fond and approving and full of shit. “Of course it can, it’s an excellent name, ‘37,” Cody said without looking at Fox.

The newly named Longshot did, however. “Thank you, sir, it really is—a good name and a high compliment.”

“It was not a compliment,” Fox grumbled. “You special in the head?”

“No, sir, no, of course not, forgive me” the kid said, still mostly unsubdued but at least trying to act respectful.

“I’ll —maybe— consider forgiveness, if you can explain to me in detail how the kriff you got it to turn like that?!”

“Certainly,” Longshot said, cheeky again, “over a cuppa caf?” No ‘sir’ now, was this punk flirting?

The absolute audacity.

Not many people knew what an unfortunate blusher Fox was and the tally had just gone up. Fox decidedly didn’t look at Cody who was definitely smirking like a vat-reject.

“Make it something stronger,” Fox said, grappling his dignity back under control, “and you’ll be the one paying, Longshot.”

If he’d gotten one illogical shot to hit an improbable target, why not let him go for another?

hey what's up, as we both know I'm a sucker for Fox. So uh. Can I get some of that Good Good Fox content? Thanks bro.

TW: underage drinking

The first time Fox tries alcohol with his vode, he’s around eight ( sixteen ).

He’s actually the one to smuggle it into the barracks when the Kaminoans weren’t watching — Alpha-17 had been perfectly turned around at just the right moment. Fox snuck behind one of the crates, reached out with a hand towards the canister that was perched atop the nearest one, before booking it down the corridor before the older could notice. He knew they wouldn’t count the numbers of alcohol. There were too many bottles for too little men. They wouldn’t care for one little bottle that goes missing — they’ve already got their hands full. And they’ll never know it would be Fox, because Fox is good at stealing, and Fox is good at never getting caught.

He enters the small private barracks he shares with his batchmates, shutting and locking the sliding door behind them. He struts over to a circle of his vode, plopping down and placing the canister in the center of the group as if they were praising some sort of deity. “Here.”

His brothers regard the canister, at first, with surprise. Then they melted away into varying degrees of expression.

“That’s it?” Ponds asks. Fox gives him a glare.

“If I steal any more, they would have noticed something was wrong. This is what we can afford right now.”

“What is it?” Kote asks, and before Fox could stop him, he reaches forward and grabs the canister. He twists off the cap and sniffs its contents. He grimaces. “It smells weird.”

“Alcohol,” Fox answers promptly. The group ( except Ponds ) gives him incredulous looks.

“What?” Wolffe asks.

“Jango brought some for the ARCs after they completed some test. Ponds and I heard about it and decided to grab some.”

“You stole some.”

“You act like it’s any different.”

“Fox.” Kote gives Fox a disapproving glare, crossing his arms and furrowing his eyebrows together. “Give it back.”

Fox raises an eyebrow. “And let them catch me? Or have them know that we stole their precious liquor?”

“You know Jango wouldn’t approve.”

“Jango doesn’t need to know.”

Bly shifts uncomfortably, eyeing the canister in Kote’s hand. “What do we do with it, then?”

“Well,” Ponds shrugs, “we can’t let it go to waste.”

“Pond’ika!” Wolffe scolds, but Ponds holds his hands up in mock surrender.

“He’s right,” Fox admits to them. “You wouldn’t want to discredit all the hard work I put into stealing this, wouldn’t you?”

“I would,” Kote says.

“Shut up,” Fox says. “Okay, if you guys aren’t going to drink it, then I’ll do it.”

He snatches the canister from Kote’s hand, ignoring the other’s skeptical looks, and takes a large sip from the bottle. At first, it tasted like nothing. Then, bitterness sets in his mouth, almost acidic as it settles on his tongue. The gulps it down with the minimum of a grimace, before closing up the drink. The other vode stare at him, waiting for his reaction.

“So?” Ponds asks.

Fox looks down on the drink. “It’s good.”

“Let me try.”

Fox, at first, is perturbed when Bly holds out his hand to take the canister, but nonetheless hands it to him. Bly takes a swig from the bottle. He’s understandably more reactive, his entire face scrunching up as the alcohol pours down his mouth, but nonetheless he swallows it and gives a nod. “It’s kinda… weird.”

“What kind of weird?” Wolffe asks him.

“Pretty strong.”

Ponds grabs the canister when Bly offers it to him. He takes only a small sip of the drink before curling over and spitting it out. The group jumps up just as Ponds descends into a coughing fit. “Fucking karabast!” he yells out, not enough to alert the clones walking outside their room, but just loud enough to nearly cut off Fox’s ears. “That’s so gross!”

“You’re overreacting,” Fox tells him.

“It feels like my tongue became a pod racer,” Ponds gags. “How strong is that stuff?”

“Not that strong,” Bly says, ignoring what he had said earlier. He’s hiding a small laugh behind his hands.

“Bullshit.”

“Language,” Kote comments. He opens up his hand. “Hit me up.”

“I thought you wanted to be a goody-two-shoes and give it back,” Wolffe teases with a snarl.

“That was before I saw Ponds spit out his entire immune system,” Kote promptly replies. “Hand it over, vod’ika.”

Kote takes a large sip nearly as much as Fox did, and he too has barely any reaction to the liquor, only pulling his lips into a thin line at the taste. “So?” Ponds asks.

Kote shrugs. “It’s okay.” He tosses the bottle to Wolffe. “Your turn, ori’vod. See if you can hold it in.”

“Are you seriously making this a competition?” Fox asks, though judging Kote’s habits of being a competitive little shit, he’s not surprised.

“Course I am,” Kote says. “Drink it.”

Wolffe glares at him, the two ori’vode of the group already at each other’s throats, and he takes the largest swig out of all of them. As a result, he’s the one with nearly the strongest reaction, scowling to hold in his reaction before exhaling with a whistle. “Damn.”

“I win,” Kote says.

“No you didn’t,” Wolffe growls. “Fox’s the same as you.”

Fox could almost punch both Wolffe and Kote if the latter didn’t give him a glittering expression. “You still have those shot glasses you smuggled in, don’t you, Fox’ika?”

Ignoring the belittling nickname, Fox nods, though his poker face is only a few steps away from becoming a full-on grin. “I’ll fucking demolish you.”

“Language.”

By the end of the night, Fox’s chest is warm and his vision is dizzy, but for his first time being drunk, he’s doing surprisingly well. He had expected to black-out, but as it turns out his tolerance to alcohol was pretty decent, and he only slurred on one or two words. Ponds was passed out somewhere. He collapsed on the second shot glass ( Fox doesn’t even know why he continued drinking after his initial reaction to the taste ). Bly had become a lot more talkative ( horrifying ) and was super clingy to everyone, and was laying on Kote’s lap and giggling for no reason. Kote was doing fine. Either because he had good alcohol tolerance or because he wanted to be a little shit to everyone else. Wolffe had become loud, so much so that he had to be shushed by everyone whenever his voice was boisterous throughout the room, and he wraps his arms around Fox’s shoulders as he swayed to unheard music. Fox doesn’t push him off. If he did, Wolffe would fall off the pod bed and roll all the way down to the door like a bolo ball.

When they had finished the canister, Fox simply chucks it down the trash chute when it has exhausted its use. By that time, Bly had passed out, and the loud-ass Wolffe had begun to sober up. Fox chucks the latter one of the water bottles in their storage. “Drink it. It’ll stop you from having a hangover next morning.”

Wolffe raises an eyebrow at him. “You know a lot about alcohol, don’t you?”

Fox shrugs. “Eavesdropping is easy.”

“Ah.”

Wolffe tries to give him a Keldabe Kiss, but ends up bonking their heads lamely together hard enough for Fox’s teeth to chatter. Wolffe cackles at that. “Thanks for the drink, vod’ika.”

“Mhm.”

Fox is the last one awake out of all of them. Bly was tucked beneath Kote’s embrace with Ponds on the older’s other side. Wolffe was asleep in his own pod bed. Fox was at the edge of Wolffe’s pod, looking at his brothers, making sure all of them were asleep. He swears it’s the alcohol that’s making his chest burn and his features soften, not the sight of all of them together in one place. He swears on his life.

When he’s determined that none of them are awake, he sneaks out of the barracks. He comes back with another canister. He sits on his own bed, alone, and while he watches his own vode with careful eyes, he takes a swig of the alcohol.

The first time Fox tries alcohol alone, he’s around ten ( twenty ).

He’s alone in his quarters in the Senate towers of Coruscant, sitting by the window sill and drinking champagne. Assigned not to General Secura, or Skywalker, or Kenobi or Windu. Assigned to the Senate, to Chancellor Palpatine and the delegates of democracy, along with Thorn and a couple other brothers who he doesn’t know the names of. His batch doesn’t live with him — they live down at the Republic Military Base. Down over south, turquoise lights visible from the silhouette of its complex. He stares at it from afar, out the viewport that traps him in his quarters.

He pops off the cap of the bottle, and takes a swig of it. There’s no one around to ogle at him in shock, no one around to grab the bottle for their next turn. It’s just him. Alone.

When he’s done, he doesn’t grimace at the taste. It’s good. Bitter.

[mis-mcgifsten]

My heart says Fox. Let him mercilessly murder that nasty old prune, but if he can't tell anyone why he did it the ultimate outcome for Fox isn't great unless he pulls a spartacus and never admits he did it.

So my head went with R2D2 who is a notorious secret keeper and quite the vicious and active protagonist while being easily overlooked.

Please explain your reasoning in the tags and may the Force be with you.

[panther-os]

Oh, right, I promised an infodump on my headcanons for GAR ranks and unit structure. Aight, buckle up boys, I have Opinions and that's about to be everybody's problem.

Please keep in mind, this is my headcanon. It's for fun, not for accuracy, and if you don't like it, you can just keep scrolling.

First off, notation. I have a two or three letter abbreviation for each rank, followed by an alphanumeric clarification for cases of overlap. So like the lowest rank a CC can have is a Captain and the highest rank a CT can have is a Captain. Gregor, a CC Captain, is Cpt CC(1)-5576-39, while Rex, a CT Captain, is Cpt CT(5)-7567. Gregor outranks Rex by virtue of being a CC, but it's the kind of enlisted/officer dynamic where a good Lt (O1-2) should always listen to and seriously consider the advice of an Ssg (E-7) because the Ssg is more experienced.

There are 15 levels in the GAR chain of command, consisting of 26 ranks. In the list below, Level 1 is the highest rank and Level 15 is the lowest.

Level 1: Commander-in-Chief 1. Cic(S5), the Chancellor

Level 2: Vice Commander-in-Chief 2. Vcc(S4), the Vice Chancellor 3. Vcc(S3), members of the Security Council

Level 3: High Generals 4. HGn(J3), lifetime Jedi High Council members 5. HGn(J2), all other Jedi High Council members

Level 4: Generals 6. Gen(J1), Jedi Knights and Masters not on the High Council

Level 5: Senators 7. Sen(S2), Senators allied with Sidious and in on the plan, also Separatist-alligned Senators like the Banking Clan and etc 8. Sen(S1), Senators not allied with Sidious, such as the Delegation of 2000 or the League of Neutral Systems

Level 6: Representatives 9. Rep(S0), all Senate Representatives

Level 7: Padawan Commanders 10. PCr(J0), Padawan Learners assigned to Generals and High Generals

Level 8: Marshal Commanders 11. MCr(CC3), Clone Commanders leading armies, corps, and battalions

Level 9: Commanders 12. Cdr(CC2), Clone Commanders leading legions and divisions 13. Cdr(ARC4), ARC Commanders leading commando divisions

Level 10: Captains 14. Cpt(CT5), Clone Troopers leading guards and forces (units smaller than a division but larger than a regiment) 15. Cpt(CC1), Clone Commanders leading guards, forces, and legions 16. Cpt(ARC3), ARC Captains leading commando regiments

Level 11: Lieutenants 17. Lt(CT4), Clone Troopers leading regiments 18. Lt(CC0), Clone Commanders leading regiments, guards, and forces 19. Lt(ARC2), ARC Lieutenants leading commando companies and platoons

Level 12: Staff Sergeant 20. Lt(CT3), Clone Troopers leading companies

Level 13: Sergeant 21. Sgt(CT2), Clone Troopers leading platoons 22. Sgt(ARC1), ARC Sergeants leading commando squads

Level 14: Corporal 23. Cpl(CT1), Clone Troopers leading squads 24. Cpl(ARC0), ARC Corporals who are the senior trooper in a pair

Level 15: Private 25. Pvt(CT0), Clone Troopers 26. Pvt(ARC00), ARC Troopers

The unofficial position is Oversight Officer. There's two types of Oversight - the first is a clone of a higher rank leading a smaller unit, usually demanded by natural-born high command, such as Marshal Commander Fox, Commander Stone, and Commander Thorn leading the Coruscant Guard. Lieutenant Thire (before his promotion) would've been the one actually supposed to be leading, but because Coruscant and because Palpatine, he got three Oversight Officers who are there to make sure he doesn't fuck up.

The second type of Oversight is like Appo and Rex' situation, usually arranged by the clones themselves, where Rex is a lower rank but has far better skill, aptitude, and straight up will to live when it comes to running a Legion, so Appo is in command on paperwork but Rex is actually in charge. In this scenario, Appo is Rex' Oversight Officer.

CT and CC units are divided into 11 types, from squad to Grand Army. ARC and RC units are different, but I haven't had the time to really sit down and work them all out.

Squads (like Domino Squad) are led by a Corporal and consist of 5 troopers.

Platoons are led by a Sergeant and consist of 4 squads. Or: 20 troopers.

Companies (like Torrent Company) are led by a Staff Sergeant and consist of 4 platoons. Or: 16 squads, or 80 troopers.

Regiments are led by a Lieutenant and consist of 5 companies. Or: 20 platoons, 80 squads, or 400 troopers.

Guards/Forces are led by a Captain or Lieutenant and consist of 3 regiments. Or: 15 companies, 60 platoons, 240 squads, or 1200 troopers.

Divisions (like the 332nd) are led by a Commander and consist of 3 guards or forces. Or: 9 regiments, 45 companies, 180 platoons, 720 squads, or 3600 troopers.

Battalions (like the 212th) are led by a Marshal Commander and consist of 5 divisions. Or: 15 guards/forces, 45 regiments, 225 companies, 900 platoons, 3600 squads, or 18k troopers.

Legions (like the 501st) are led jointly by a General and Commander and consist of 3 battalions. Or: 15 divisions, 135 regiments, 675 companies, 2700 platoons, 10.8k squads, or 54k troopers.

Corps (like the 327th) are led jointly by a General or High General and a Commander or Marshal Commander and consist of 3 legions. Or: 9 battalions, 45 divisions, 405 regiments, 2025 companies, 8100 platoons, 32.4k squads, or 162k troopers.

Armies (like the 3rd Systems) are led jointly by a High General and Marshal Commander and consist of 5 corps. Or: 15 legions, 45 battalions, 225 divisions, 2025 regiments, 10,125 companies, 40.5k platoons, 162k squads, or 810k troopers.

The Grand Army of the Republic is led by the Commander-in-Chief and consists of 4 armies plus 2 guards/forces. I could write everything out like I did for the other units, but I don't want to. In total, this comes to 3.242mil troopers.

And that is my headcanons and worldbuilding for my fics when it comes to GAR ranks and unit structures. As always, people are welcome to use with credit.

ring bells, strike chords

Commander Fox/Riyo Chuchi (with special mention of @tiend’s OCs Tane and Yanoiru) @foxiyoweek Day 5: Confession/Revelation 500 words, Gen

. . .

Somewhere, somehow, in the year of our war 3, a clone married a Republic citizen, and it weren’t no sham ceremony neither. A Pantoran and an ARC, bound in matrimony by some arcane Mantellian law. 

Commander Fox, as much a legal non-person as the furry piece of military equipment at his feet, flipped through the incredible flimsiplast holos and copies of notarized certificates again. 

Even if he squinted, the bride wasn’t Riyo; she boasted harvest proportions, as Riyo would say, crimped with envy. The groom and his excessive hair had been groomed as much as ARCs could be. But the couple’s joy read like a scrying mirror, and by Jango, if Fox didn’t want to frame it. 

It was confidential, somewhat; he couldn’t. Fox locked it all away, and in this admin interlude of his day, he indulged a different impulse. 

Riyo had already written to the resourceful woman, but she’d begged Fox get a copy to the lieutenant, rendering her support as tangible as possible while she made calls to Peito lawyers and professors and the like. Her correspondence would be safe, if Fox’s was. He composed a covering note that said everything and nothing, smiling stupidly to himself, buzzed on hope. Then, uncapping as fine a pen as the one Riyo had used, but wielded with considerably less flourish (her hand left Fox exhausted), he wrote out the following, directed to 2nd Recon Battalion, 41st Corps, FPO 6 GAR. 

Office of the Provost Marshal Commander Republic Guard HQ Coruscant

Dear Lieutenant Tane, 

I am pleased to enclose a letter of commendation from The Hon. Riyo Chuchi, Senator of Sujimis, for your late actions on Ord Mantell. She came into receipt of your news via the Pantoran Embassy, and was impressed and touched by what you had achieved. 

I am not in the habit of granting forwarding favors or acting secretary. But I have a hound called ‘Tane. He found his way to me during the Depot Bombings, when the 41st had the distinction of being the first unit allowed liberty in Galactic City. A circumstance not much to my liking, but it appears you spent it admirably and happened to meet a very special someone. 

Fox paused and looked under the desk. Octane, trained to strict silence except when pulling taut for a perp, was staring mournfully up. His vuulku antler had crawled beneath the cabinets. Fox retrieved it and continued scratching his letter to the similar sound of a happy hound.

Make of these facts and coincidences what you will. I thought they merited a line of congratulation from me also, which I will simply adapt from a Pantoran aphorism, leaving the real eloquence to Senator Chuchi:

‘The summit has come to you, because you climbed before you aspired.’

Good luck out there. If there’s any unit I’d like to see next on home turf, it’s the 41st. May you rotate in before too long. Mess would be on me.

With sincerity,  Cdr. Fox  (Co-signed, Adjchewtant-General Octane) 

. . . . 

(inspired by events in wish there was a treaty by tiend)

This isn’t entirely original (the keyboard inspiration) but I’m having fun with it. I plan to also do some symbol/character work for some of these to make them further unique and mine.

Thinking about CDR Fox getting some love under his desk while he works 😳😳😳

Just his hand curling into your hair, keeping you right there as he thrusts up into your mouth. Or if somebody does come in, trying not to moan as you continue to suck him off until he cums right down your throat.

Do y’all have some thots you’d like to share?

Flightline: 69 - Hawker Siddeley Harrier I

After the cancellation of the P.1154, the RAF went back to the drawing board, and issued a new requirement for a subsonic V/STOL strike aircraft. Hawker Siddeley advanced an upgraded Kestrel, designated P.1127 (RAF), and awarded a contract for six preproduction Harrier GR.1 in 1965, with the first taking flight on 31 August 1966. The RAF ordered 60 production Harriers in early 1967, which officially entered service in 1969. During the same year, Hawker Siddeley formed a partnership with McDonnell Douglas to produce aircraft for the US, though, through that decision was later reversed and the USMC’s order of 102 AV-8A and 8 TAV-8A trainers were produced on Hawker Siddeley’s Kingston upon Thames and Dunsfold factories.

The P.1127/Kestrel KGA.1 and Harrier GR.1/AV-8A are broadly similar in appearance, but the two designs share less than 10% commonality. The Harrier was powered by the more powerful Pegasus 6 engine, and new air intakes with auxiliary blow-in doors were added to produce the required airflow at low speed. Its wing was modified to increase area, and the landing gear was strengthened. Several hardpoints for weapons or drop-tanks were installed, two under each wing and one underneath the fuselage, and provisions for two 30 mm (1.2 in) ADEN cannon gun pods were added to the underside of the fuselage. The Harrier was outfitted with updated avionics to replace the basic systems used in the Kestrel: a navigational-attack system incorporating an inertial navigation system, originally for the P.1154, was installed and information was presented to the pilot by a head-up display and a moving map display. USMC Harriers were further differentiated in that they were built without magnesium components, which were subject to corrosion. They were also fitted with American radios and IFF avionics, and the outer wing pylons were wired to carry AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles for self-defense.

Development of the Harrier continued, with the GR.3 variant being introduced in the early 1980s. Featuring an uprated Pegasus engine, chisel nose incorporating a laser tracker, upgraded avionics and ECM equipment, 62 were converted from earlier GR.1/.1As, while an additional 40 new aircraft were built. In the US, the AV-8As were upgraded to AV-8C specs, mainly involving strengthening the structure and replacing earlier models of the Pegasus engine. During air-combat trials against USMC Phantoms, the Harrier’s pilots developed the concept of “viffing”: rotating the nozzles forward during a turn, which allowed the AV-8s to engage faster targets at close range.

In the early 1970's the Royal Navy faced the cancellation of the CVA carriers, which would have replaced the Centaur- and Audacious-class full-deck carriers, and as a result began to seek a V/STOL replacement for its Sea Vixen and Phantom FG.1 fighters. The answer came as a result of RN Lt. Cdr. D.R. Taylor’s M.Phil. thesis which postulated that an angled ramp would allow a V/STOL aircraft like the Harrier to take off on smaller decks while still carrying a combat load. Initial testing with various ramp angles was carried out at RAE Bedford, using the two-seat Harrier demonstrator G-VTOL during 1976 and ‘77, and proved that the more the ramp was angled the more of a performance boost was added. As a result, the RN commissioned the new Invincible-class light carriers, which incorporated the newly-christened ski-jump deck. To fly from these ships, Hawker Siddeley developed the Sea Harrier FRS.1.

Based on the upgraded Harrier GR.3, the Sea Harrier was further modified with a raised bubble canopy for improved visibility and a longer nose to incorporate the Ferranti Blue Fox radar. As with the American AV-8A, different alloys were used to prevent corrosion.

FRS.1 and GR.3 Harriers were soon pressed into service during the Falklands Islands War. Sea Harriers operated from the aircraft carriers HMS Invincible and HMS Hermes, acting as the primary air defense, shooting down 20 Argentine aircraft. The RAF’s GR.3s, meanwhile, were operating from two commandeered merchant container ships, Atlantic Conveyor and Atlantic Causeway, which were modified with temporary flight decks. Ten more GR.3s operated from the Hermes.

Along with the US and UK, Spain operated a force of ten Harriers, based on the USMC’s AV-8A, known as the VA-1 Matador, and the Indian Navy ordered a force of 30 (25 fighters and five trainers) Sea Harrier FRS.51 to operate from INS Vikrant (ex-HMS Hercules) and NS Viraat (ex-HMS Hermes).

The GR.1, GR.3, AV-8A, -8C and Sea Harrier FRS.1 were all retired in the 1980s, and the Spanish Navy sold their VA-1 Matadors to the Thai Royal Navy in 1998. The Thai Harriers were retired in 2008, while the Indian FRS.51 were replaced in 2016 by MiG-29K aircraft. 

But the story doesn’t end there....

The Anime of a Life Time

I guess, since I’ve started this thing, I should contribute my own two cents on what Gundam Wing has done for me.

Gundam Wing wasn’t the first anime I watched. There were others before it. My starter pack was the Dutch dubs of Pokemon, Digimon, and Flint the Time Detective (known as Jikū Tantei Genshi-kun in Japan) on Fox Kids. Sometime later they broadcasted an anime called Shinzo (known as Mushrambo in Japan) and I guess that is where my love for anime really started. My cousin introduced me to it during a vacation and we spend quite a few days watching episodes!

Anime, at that time in the Netherlands, was something regarded as a ‘boys thing’. So for me it was rather awkward to talk about it and I didn’t, because I already was an easy target due to my HSP. The only person I could share it with was my cousin, who was just as crazy about anime as I was. She introduced me to the little Cartoon Network block we had on tv, and that is where I discovered Dragonball Z.

Dragonball Z was a turning point for me. Over the course of just a few months it turned me into a fanfiction author. My cousin and I were practically joined at the hip at every family gathering we had, and would sneak off to write together or read what we had so far. It was a glorious time. Every day I would rush home from school to try and watch a Dragonball Z episode. I was not always able to, because I had a horse to take care of. On Saturdays and Sundays, the weekday episodes were rerun, so I’d try to catch anything I had missed then. Sick days were the best, because then I could watch the episodes for sure.

And it was a sick day that introduced me to my favorite anime of all times. I was at home with my brother and we were both down with the flu. We had actually set an alarm to make sure we’d be awake on time to watch Dragonball Z. But as we turned on the tv, it wasn’t Dragonball Z that started. It was a different series. At first, I was so pissed off, BECAUSE HOW DARE THEY STOP BROADCASTING DRAGONBALL Z, but ten minutes into this episode of this new series I was sold. For life apparently.

Wing Gundam fell from the sky and ruined me.

I have some of my best memories from that time, because my cousin was just as crazy about Gundam Wing as I was. She went to school in the Hague and often stopped by my house on the way back. We were, at this point, so joined at the hip we might as well have been siamese twins. We would sprawl on the couch in my living room together almost every day, shoulder to shoulder, and sing along with Just Communication in terrible Japanese. Epic moments where the first time Zechs took off his mask (“THIS GUY IS SO PRETTY! WHY?”), or the time when Heero said goodbye to Relena on Libra and showed us the ‘pretty eyes’. That really send us into hysterics.

During the first run of the series, my cousin introduced me to some fanfiction sites. This really opened a door for me, because apparently there were others like me that wrote stories about their favorite series! I started writing for Gundam Wing, but kept the stories to myself mostly. I was too shy to actually post anything. Most of the stuff I wrote was in Dutch and I didn’t switch to English until somewhere in 2005, when I started posting a story for Yu-Gi-Oh!. We’ll not talk about this story, because it’s horrible.

I wrote more stories and got a little better at it. My cousin found some more sites that had good stories for us to read and in this way I found Freedom of Speech Fanfiction, Lunaescence, and Fictionzone. It was through these sites that I started writing more actively for Gundam Wing and became the writer that I am today.

I wrote for other fandoms on the side for some time, and then my cousin told me that Gundam Wing was having a rerun on tv. I was quick to jump to the idea of a rewatch, and faithfully watched every episode. But halfway through that rerun, they stopped. I was devastated. I was really angry about it, because watching the rerun had reignited my love for the series. Around that time Limewire had its glory days, so I checked to see if I could download the episodes from there. And what did I discover then? Endless Waltz! Endless Waltz had never been broadcasted in the Netherlands, so can you imagine how happy I was? There was more Gundam Wing and I had never known about it!

I downloaded all the episodes and movie onto CDR’s, that I could only watch on the small television in my room. But boy, was I happy!

Since then, I do a rewatch of the series almost every year, and I never get tired of it. I just love these characters and the story so much. I feel as if it has become part of me. Maybe it’s because I watched it during a time in my life where I discovered I’m a bit different from other people. Whenever I didn’t feel accepted I could hide in my little fantasy world and think about my favorite characters. I never felt this kind of love for any other anime I’ve watched. I guess Sailor Moon gets close, but I never wrote a fanfic for it. I’m totally game for the complexity of the characters, the plot, the politics and intrigue that go on. I love watching these characters grow and develop, time and time again. That the fandom is so warm and lovely is a nice bonus! I’ve made lovely friends for life because of this anime!

The only thing I regret is not spending money on it sooner.

I was raised by parents who did not understand my love for anime one bit, so spending money on it was out of the question. I didn’t get to visit anime conventions until I was an adult, and since then I knew that Gunpla existed, but never thought about buying anything. In 2016 I bought my very first Gundam Kit. I was so overwhelmed with the idea that I FINALLY had bought something Gundam Wing related that I nearly cried. My best friend was so supportive and happy for me. She could totally see how much this meant to me and snapped a polaroid picture of me and this stupid little Gundam Kit so I would always remember that moment.

Since the last two years, I’ve been really putting some money into my Gundam Wing collection. I guess it’s safe to say it’s money well spend and I’m so thrilled with every new item that gets in! My fiancé sees how happy it makes me and even though he doesn’t always understand, he is supportive and stimulates my buying of Gundam Wing related goodies. Maybe I’m trying the catch up for all the years I’ve missed in collecting. Who knows.

Visiting Japan was a real treat, because there were so many Gundam kits, and if I took the time to browse, I could find some really nice stuff! Besides kits, I took home postcards, gashapon items, and T-shirts. Next year I’ll go back and then I plant to buy so much more!

Random but I found out that Rasputín’ dick was 13 inches and is preserved in a jar and it made me think of deadcrush like cdr def knew what she was talking about...I would brag about the choice even more

OH... she knew exactly what she was talking about. Rasputin was nuts like a fox and powerful as fuck despite having zero credentials. 13” is just a bonus 👀

Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation (Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, with hyphen, from 1935 to 1985)—also known as 20th Century Fox, 20th Century Fox Pictures, or simply Fox, is one of the six major American film studios.

In this video I show you How to Make Your Own Fox Logo in 3 Minutes.Now I know the video is longer, but that's because I.

In 1935, 20th Century Pictures merged with Fox Film Corporation, creating 20th Century-Fox. This famous logo has been modfied many times over years include one With A News Corporation Company Byline Underneath but since 2013 it has been own By 21st Century Fox.

1935–1953

The Art Deco 20th Century Fox logo, designed by landscape artist Emil Kosa, Jr., originated as the 20th Century Pictures logo, with the name 'Fox' substituted for 'Pictures, Inc.' in 1935. The logo was originally created as a painting on several layers of glass and animated frame-by-frame. Over the years the logo was modified several times.

1953–1981

In 1953, Rocky Longo, an artist at Pacific Title, was hired to recreate the original design for the new CinemaScope process. In order to give the design the required 'width', Longo tilted the '0' in 20th.. This logo, however, would be used in tandem with the next logo until 1981. Like the previous logo, this logo was a painting on several layers of glass and was animated frame-by-frame.

1981–1994

In 1981, after Longo repainted the eight-layered glass panels (and straightened the '0'), his revised logo became the official trademark. Like the previous two logos, this logo was a painting on several layers of glass and was animated frame-by-frame.

1994–2009

In 1994, the 20th Century Fox logo is redone in CGI for the first time. This logo was created by Studio Productions (now Flip Your Lid Animation) which also did the logos for

and

. In 1994, after a few failed attempts (which even included trying to film the familiar monument as an actual three-dimensional model), Fox in-house television producer Kevin Burns was hired to produce a new logo for the company — this time using the new process of computer-generated imagery (CGI). With the help of graphics producer Steve Soffer and his company Studio Productions (which had recently given face-lifts to the Paramount and Universal logos), Burns directed that the new logo contain more detail and animation, so that the longer (21 second) Fox fanfare with the 'CinemaScope extension' could be used as the underscore. This required a virtual Los Angeles Cityscape to be designed around the monument. In the background can be seen the Hollywood sign, which would give the monument an actual location (approximating Foxs actual address in Century City). One final touch was the addition of store-front signs—each one bearing the name of Fox executives who were at the studio at the time. One of the signs reads, 'Murdochs Department Store'; another says 'Chernins' and a third reads: 'Burns Tri-City Alarm' (an homage to Burns late father who owned a burglar and fire alarm company in Upstate New York). The 1994 CGI logo was also the first time that Twentieth Century Fox was recognized as 'A News Corporation Company' in the logo. In 1997 David Newman re-recorded the 20th Century Fox Fanfare. As of 2009, this logo appears only on the companys website.

2010–present

2010-2013

In 2010, 20th Century Fox updated its logo, which was created and animated by its subdisary Blue Sky Studios. The new logo officially debuted in Avatar. In 2010, 20th Century Fox celebrated its 75th anniversary, and modified their logo for that year.

2013–present

In 2013, the byline for News Corporation was removed due to the split of them and 21st Century Fox, and the bylineness logo debuted on the DreamWorks Animation SKG film Turbo, released on July 17 of that same year. This marks the very first time since 1981 that the logo is byliness and the very first time that the company was transferred to a brand new company.
