Resolutions

Summary: While writing up his own resolutions, Crowley decides to helpfully write up a list for his husband. (1472 words)

Notes: Written for @drawlight's '31 Days of Ineffables' prompts 'glitter' and 'resolution'.

Read on AO3.

Walking through his shop, returning the daily herd of wandering books to their correct shelves, Aziraphale comes upon a sight he’s never witnessed.

Not in the flesh.

Not once.

And not one he ever thought he’d see no matter how long he lived.

Crowley writing – at Aziraphale’s desk, of all places.

Aziraphale has received notes from Crowley before: requests for an audience to discuss their Arrangement, reminders of the temptations Aziraphale agreed to perform, reports on the blessings Crowley had done, taunting letters during the times in between when Crowley simply felt like nagging him. Dirty limericks scrawled in a sloppy hand on oil-stained parchment would occasionally pop up out of nowhere in his pocket. Nowadays, notes from Crowley are mainly reminders to pick up more wine or chocolate biscuits when Aziraphale goes to the market.

Aziraphale has simply never seen Crowley in action.

He figured Crowley miracles up his memos the way he miracles up everything else. No need to actually set pen to paper when a simple snap of his fingers will do the trick.

Writing seems like too tedious a chore to be worthy of Crowley’s precious time.

Aziraphale smirks as he watches him, planted in his stiff, antique chair; the bottom half of his body rearranged in that liquid way Crowley sits, but still as if it’s the most natural thing in the world.

As if the desk is his which, even though they’re married and pretty much sharing everything they own at this point, kind of irks Aziraphale. Yes, Aziraphale lives at Crowley’s flat, sleeps in his bed, and eats at his kitchen table, but he would never presume to grab the keys to his Bentley and take it for a spin.

That would be unforgiveable.

Aziraphale ranks this the same.

But he takes a deep breath in and lets it go. He’s never told Crowley his feelings on the matter, never expressed any emotional connection to his desk. Crowley probably sees it as simply another piece of furniture in this “residence” that they share and therefore had no reservations about sitting at it.

Which is kind of nice when Aziraphale comes to think about it.

Nevertheless, he’ll set him right about the whole situation later.

“What has you so busy, my dear?” he asks since it sounds kinder and less confrontational than, ‘What the Heaven are you doing at my desk?’ A glance at the wall calendar adds a level to Aziraphale’s questioning. It’s December 31st. New Year’s Eve. “Working on your resolutions?”

“Sort of,” Crowley admits, the words coming out in a drawl as he says them over the sentence he’s writing. When he finishes, he picks up the page and hands it over.

Aziraphale takes it, curiosity piqued. “What is this?”

“I was writing a list of resolutions – just for fun, mind you. But then, something hit me, and I started this one … for you.”

Aziraphale’s left eyebrow crawls up his forehead towards his hairline as he reads. “You’ve written up a numbered list of my flaws?”

“No. I’ve written up a numbered list of things you think are your flaws, aided by a list you apparently started, and based off some horrible Post-Its from Gabriel I found in your top drawer while searching for a pen.” Crowley growls the end of it, an angry hiss consuming his s’s, a lick of fire warming the yellow of his eyes.

“Yes, well, we’re overdue to have a talk about boundaries, my dear,” Aziraphale sniffs, scanning through the list numerous times, his posture becoming more rigid with every read thru. “I don’t see anywhere on this list where it says fraternizing with a demon.”

Crowley grins. “That’s because I know, deep down, you don’t see that as a flaw.”

Aziraphale rolls his eyes but he doesn’t contradict. “So, what am I supposed to do with this, hmm? Are these the things you want me to work on in the coming New Year?”

“Nope. Not a whit. I’m not asking you to change a thing about yourself.”

“Then what do I do with this?”

“You tear it into tiny pieces and set it on fire.”

Aziraphale frowns. “I may be wrong, but I don’t think that’s how New Year’s resolutions are supposed to work.”

“You do know New Year’s resolutions are shit, don’t you?” Crowley asks. “They’re completely unnecessary, especially considering that time itself is a made-up construct. I mean, you do remember when we had ten months in a year and not twelve, right?”

Aziraphale bounces his head left and right, agreeing more in spirit than in word.

“There’s nothing about the so-called beginning of the year that warrants beating yourself up over stuff you didn’t accomplish the last time the Earth revolved around the sun. Besides, I think Hastur came up with the concept.”

“It was Gabriel actually.”

Crowley nods. “Makes sense. Seems like the sort of plague his uptight, micro-managing ass would inflict upon the world.”

Aziraphale doesn’t comment, but silently, he agrees.

“So whaddya say? Tear it up? Rid yourself of the bullshit? You know you want to …” Crowley mimics ripping the page in the air in front of him on the off chance Aziraphale may not be familiar with the concept.

Aziraphale looks over the list, reading through the items he’d started writing, bleeding into the ones Crowley added.

Well, Gabriel added. They were simply copied in Crowley’s handwriting.

Un-angelic consumption of mortal food resulting in a slovenly appearance and an unseemly gut.

Slovenly. Aziraphale grimaces. So maybe he carries a few more pounds around the middle than most angels. But that doesn’t make him slovenly.

Un-angelic obsession with mortal material possessions.

Aziraphale scoffs. Hypocrite.

Un-angelic collection of defiled copies of the Holy Bible.

Un-angelic consumption of alcohol to the point of drunkenness.

Un-angelic this …

Un-angelic that …

Un-angelic bull pucky!

And Aziraphale knows that somewhere in his mess of Post-Its, Gabriel commented on the company Aziraphale keeps, specifically mentioning his un-angelic association with an ex-anti-Christ, a witch, a medium, and a demon, but Crowley either didn’t find it or chose not to include it.

Every criticism Gabriel has about Aziraphale begins with the modifier un-angelic. Which means Heaven – or at the very least Gabriel – considers Aziraphale un-angelic.

A pathetic excuse for an angel.

If Aziraphale were a demon, would this be seen as a list of flaws?

Would they matter at all?

Perhaps there wouldn’t even be a list if these are the only things “wrong” with him.

That’s definitely something Aziraphale may want to consider.

He glances at his husband grinning up at him with excitement. Every opportunity Aziraphale has to triumph over Heaven excites Crowley. But Aziraphale has paused so long, worry has started to settle in the corners of Crowley’s eyes. Aziraphale has been pushed down so far by Heaven, sometimes Crowley fears he won’t find the strength to stand again.

But he does.

Always has.

Stands back up and keeps on keeping on, still doing the things he loves, which makes it all the better.

Aziraphale doesn’t need Heaven and their insults.

He has Crowley’s love.

Aziraphale turns the list on its side, pinches it at the edge, and tears it down the middle.

Crowley whisper-chants, “Go! Go! Go! Go!” when Aziraphale slows down, encouraging him to continue.

And continue he does – tearing and turning and tearing and turning – until small squares of torn paper fill his cupped hands, the list unreadable except for a few individual words.

“There.” Crowley glows proudly at his husband. “How did that feel?”

“Good,” Aziraphale admits. “But this is going to feel better.” He tosses the scraps in the air. He doesn’t set them alight. He doesn’t want to trigger his sweet, supportive husband. Instead, with a snap, he turns them into glitter – harmless specks of gold and silver falling through the air and disintegrating where they touch.

“Beautiful,” Crowley says, slow clapping. He puts a gentle hand on his husband’s elbow and pulls him into his lap. “Positively gorgeous.”

“Thank you, my dear.” Aziraphale rests an arm on his demon’s shoulders. “I try my best. By the way, what did your list of resolutions have on it?”

“Oh.” Crowley reaches for the breast pocket of his jacket, but before his hand slips inside, he miracles the page into his grasp. “Read it for yourself.”

Aziraphale snatches it, more eager to read Crowley’s list of perceived flaws than his own. Except … “Darling?”

“Yes?”

Aziraphale flips the page front to back. “There’s nothing on this.”

“Of course there’s nothing on it! Can’t much improve on perfection, can you?”

Aziraphale studies the smug expression on Crowley’s face, his eyebrows bouncing over his yellow eyes, challenging Aziraphale to disagree.

Aziraphale shakes his head and leans in to give his ridiculous serpent a kiss on the cheek.

“Whatever you say, dear.”

Flame Headcanons

@i-w-p-chan asked me to explain some xover thoughts between Katekyo Hitman Reborn flames & Boku no Hero Academia characters, so buckle up ‘cuz it’s a long post under the read more! Headcanon, ho!

To explain my numbers, I gotta explain a buncha other shit too, lmao.

So basically I got some inspo from micronecro way back when (the post here on my tumblr if you're curious) that Earth Flames & whatnot were all combination Flames. Swamp is Storm+Sun, Forest Sun+Lightning, Mountain Lightning+Rain, Desert Rain+Mist, Glacier Mist+Cloud, & that last mysterious flame being named Geyser for Cloud+Storm.

I also wanted a third part of Flames for the water aspect (Earth is obvs earth, Sky is a combo of fire & air for skies themselves), so I also came up with Ocean Flames & that entire set. The feeling was only reinforced by an offhand comment by nordiamus over on FFN in their Game On xover, really.

So if Sky is the most purely Flame set & Earth is combo, shouldn't Ocean also be some sort of combo? But if the Sky is so common & Earth heard of but not really heard of, then wouldn't Ocean be even more rare?

I eventually settled on a natural 3:4:5 ratio, but to have a ratio I needed to have numbers, so I had to math shit out & also needed to have shorthand symbols so I didn't inevitably confuse myself while making sure they actually showed up in both Notepad & Excel, colors for much the same, & characteristics for the Flames themselves too. Took a long while, but I got everything settled out.

I chose 108 for the point system because it's already a trope, lol. I also made use of Umei-no Mai's Black Sky's headcanon that you actually needed around 5% of each Flame to develop properly, though I had to use it as 6% b/c the math would've become bad math otherwise. This means any singular Flame can only be a value between 6 to 76 out of 108 (6-70%), b/c there’s gotta be at least 6 points (6%) on everything. Here’s a handy chart:

Yellow is where I folded percentages together, red is the tens on the point side, with green the tens on the percent side. A general guideline I use is that you need at least 18% to produce a visible Flame. You can do it with smaller percentages down to 10%, but it requires exceptional control & possibly small reserves (which can also be called depth). (this scenario would also produce a functional sky but it’d be a fairly weak one since it was both not activated as such and not a full state of being for them).

Dying Will Flames of the Sky: NAME: hex code, attribute, symbol (reason if needed) (the link has interesting info), type of resolve (HC from Gokurdera being able to light 5 Flames but not all at once); appearance

STORM: #EB1C23 brilliant red, disintegration, ♋ (looks like hurricane cell; I'm aware it's actually the symbol for Cancer), to take down; low-heat smoldering, smokey upcurls & tongues

SKY: #FFA719 vivid gamboge, harmony, at least 10% (11/108) on all, ☰ (this the trigram symbol for heaven you see), to keep/stay; most like fire w/ flares, wisps, & overall more ethereal movement

SUN: #FFC70F amber, activation, ☀, to improve; like starlight in that it’s constant jetting outwards, more a shining than a straight-up fire

LIGHTNING/THUNDER: #23B04B malachite, hardening, ϟ (this is the only lightning-shaped symbol to show up tbh, it's technically the lowercase Greek letter for Q), to defend; electricity w/ small arcs between branches

RAIN: #99D8E8 cerulean, tranquility, ☂, to slow down; pool water with refraction in slow-motion, more round & globular than a fire except it gives off (what it’s user thinks of as ‘relaxing’) heat

MIST: #3F49CC phthalo blue, construction, ♒ (I couldn't find anything that was explicitly 'fog' or whatever, so I had to make do with whatever worked; it's the symbol for Aquarius, though it also symbolizes wind which is the next best, since mist is a groundbound cloud anyways), to confuse; wispy, almost entirely see through, with off center diffusion of color, the palest of the Flames

CLOUD: #A249A3 moderate magenta, propagation, ☁, to overtake; like puffs of smoke with a natural reach of twice the length of everything else in the Sky set (whole hand length minimum)

Dying Will Flames of the Ocean/Sea: NAME: hex code, attribute, symbol (reason if needed); appearance. Funfact: this set has the most desaturated colors as though it’s deeper in the sea, though if you go for max 240-value saturation they’re still discernible from the other sets.

WHIRLPOOL: #DE7C66 light scarlet, combustion (rapid burning), ☁/♋/☀, ♓ (Pisces symbol, yes, but fish live in pools; also what the fuck, I see literal fish as the symbol everywhere else but this fucking site); elongated fingers of flame that seem to spin or spiral their entire length rather than just the tips like Storm does, like screws or a helix

OCEAN: #FF7700 vivid orange, encompass, 12% (13/108) on all with remainder divided, ☵ (the trigram for water yo; easily distinguishable from both Sky & Earth, even has a mini horizon on there to make a "between the Earth & the Heavens" metaphor); heavy fire, somewhat similar to a tri-pronged crown or W that flutters like it's in the wind

VOLCANO: #C2AC1D moderate gold, acidification (pH cycling), ♋/☀/ϟ, ☈ (the symbol for thunderstorms which I find appropriate, b/c volcanoes can actually spawn these); smokey & partially see thru w/ green halo edging, fuzzy-looking around the edges, tho for a better visual of what I mean, look up fire opals

CURRENT: #85B357 moderate chartreuse, magnetism, ☀/ϟ/☂, ☄ (actually symbolizes comets, but it's theorized comets brought water to Earth anyway); clumps together, lengths loop each other to form a field, look at your hand in the process of turning into a fist, it’s like that

WATERFALL: #306D78 arctic blue, binding, ϟ/☂/♒, ♆ (fuck yeah, the symbol for Neptune sure, but rivers were his children &/or domain as all rivers lead to the ocean); elastic & flexible with no purely set expression beyond naturally long reach (the longest Flame overall)

MOON: #9999CC deep periwinkle, reflection, ☂/♒/☁, ☾ (obvious); moves like a shadow where there’s three or more overlapping areas w/ a natural wave pattern, if you’ve ever seen the sun during a heatwave it’s like where it wobbles due to the thermal air currents so the sun itself doesn’t look like a full disc

TIDE: #CFA7C3 light fuchsia, expansion, ♒/☁/♋, ♎ (the symbol for Libra & the alchemical symbol for the subliminal; also looks like the moon rising from the sea); light, aggressively more magenta when hyper-layered, leaves afterimages like when staring into a bright light, strangely behaves like a less intense Sun Flame where it’s an overall but softer & rounder glow rather than jetting out

Dying Will Flames of the Earth/Soil: NAME: hex code, attribute, symbol (reason if needed); appearance

SWAMP: #FFB482 tangelo, fermentation (living things), 28% (30) ♋/☀ each, ☣ (biohazard was a perfect fit); almost flat but highly agitated w/ irregular flares & flickers, highest temp behind Earth in this set, technically shortest Flame at half a finger height (knuckle to first joint)

EARTH: #BD3900 vermillion, gravity, 14% (15) all, ☷ (trigram for earth); dense & exceptionally rounded fire, appearing like a split V flame that doesn’t move about as much as an actual fire, more pulled together

FOREST: #A6DE5D electric lime, growth, 23% (25) ☀/ϟ each, ♣ (club suit b/c it looks like a little tree); thin, finely branched & erratic fire, with unpredictable sparks

MOUNTAIN: #62BD8E spring green, compression, 28% (30) ϟ/☂ each, ▲ (it's a triangle, but it doubles as a mountain symbol on maps); almost opaque, w/ a fat bottom and narrow top (shaped like a deflated balloon if such a thing floated in your palm) & slow sinuous motion (the widest Flame at the base at around twice the width of the palm holding it, picture lava lamp wax)

DESERT: #1C6BFF cobalt, emergence (big patterns that appear b/c of small things, ex. ripples in sand from wind movement pushing grains around, or the uniqueness of snowflakes) (also influenced by InsaneScriptist's One Piece/KHR xover fic Xanxus' Adventures in Parenthood Piracy where Desert flames are many illusions stacked onto each other), 32% (35) ☂/♒ each, ✿ (black florette b/c I can't really see the white one, & desert flowers are very pretty); perfectly transparent but for a tint, warps the coloring immediately around it into the blue spectrum, a place where it’s just inexplicably blue above where it’s being held, like staring into a mirror reflecting itself greener and greener, but if made visible to others it might give an appearance of sand because it’s also not a very “even” or “smooth” Flame

GLACIER: #C68CFF light violet, fortification taking the form of crystals as it’s just that intense, 37% (40) ♒/☁ each, ♦ (diamond suit b/c that's a basic crystal shape, also to not leave Forest as a card by itself); upside down kite shape w/ barbed & jagged edges like frost, not see through like you almost expect tho it’s the whitest one in general w/ bright vivid color at the edge

GEYSER: #99007D red plum, extension, 32% (35) ☁/♋ each, ♨ (hot springs are close enough to geysers for me to the connection); like heated water complete w/ dense steaming, and the leading edge even redder

Have a handy little mnemonic pic to remember how to get what.

And just who can forget Night Flames either? I headcanon that Night was one of the 3 human Flames before the Earthlings like Kawahira were forced to pass the other 3 sets onto humans to sustain life; Snow, Void, & Night were all buried under and/or split between the newer sets, which is why no one ever pulls them forth until Bermuda has his Flames torn out by his Pacifier being taken by Checkerface.

SNOW: silvery-white, absorption (base reason for why humans can become all sorts of creatures, but never back), prevalent ☀ &/or ☂ &/or ☁, ☊ (ascending node, alchemical symbol for sublimation). Appearance: aerogel if it was fire shaped, glowing around the edges like a halo, pale silver-ish, a defined or captured mist spray.

VOID: (perfect) gray, preservation, ☰ &/or ☵ &/or ☷, ⊕ (alchemical symbol for verdigris, symbol for Earth the planet). This was basically the first version of Skies, Oceans, & Earths for humans. Appearance: a blooming iridescence, like summoning a faint rainbow upon a slick surface but in petaled flower silhouette (inherent control of it’s user imparts the number of petals).

NIGHT: black*, perpetuity (grim determination to do this ONE thing & damn the consequences, to carry on), prevalent ♋ &/or ϟ &/or ♒, ☋ (descending node, alchemical symbol for purification). Appearance: invisible unless moving, black & heavy looking when it does almost like a smear or smudge, with a type of simmering heat to it, an absence of light (resulting in a clear pacifier). *You know the video game thing/unresolvable YouTube video error where it’s supposed to be dark but it’s actually just a dark grey that feels creepy to look at too long? That color.

(I got a lot, seriously a bunch of other shit attributed to each Flame too, but this thing is already long enough. If I get interest, I’ll just make another post).

This has Earth-set Flames absurdly specialist but still very possible by accident, while leaving the Ocean-set harder to achieve any other way but naturally feeling the resolve for each separate component Flame. It also makes Oceans & Earths fundamentally Skies, just denser or even-keeled if you can get that. (compare phases of matter as gas [always chaotic], liquid [clumping together but still fairly energetic], and solid [at least mostly rigid in state]).

You also don’t need to be part of the same set to be considered an element, either... folding down anyway. A fully realized Earth could only truly bond w/ only Earth-set Flames, an Ocean could bond w/ Ocean-set Flames, but a Sky could bond w/ anyone by latching onto just one Flame, disregarding if it’s part of a composite Flame. Earth and/or Ocean Flames might identify more as a Sky than their ‘proper’ label as a matter of self-preservation as their elements are so rare, so would feel more at home pulling in Sky elements rather than Ocean or Earth elements. (not that it’d stop them if given the choice).

This all neatly dovetails into headcanon Flames for Class 1A for BNHA, arranged by set then seat.

From the Sky-set, you got:

Asui Tsuyu: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 37=34%; ϟ: 11=10%; ☂: 37=34%; ♒: 6=6%; ☁: 11=10%; (☀, ☂). You can’t tell me she talks with that huge tongue without having to Actively shoot it, right? Rain because she’s just so naturally calm.

Mashirao Ojiro (6): ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 9=8%; ϟ: 9=8%; ☂: 6=6%; ♒: 6=6%; ☁: 72=66%; (☁). Because he seems kinda distant to me like most of KHR Clouds seem to be in theory, idk why. I do think he’s cool tho.

Kaminari Denki: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 36=33%; ϟ: 24=22%; ☂: 6=6%; ♒: 6=6%; ☁: 30=28%; (☀, ϟ, ☁). Sun b/c his lightning is actually yellow so I theorize he’s actually Propagating his natural Activated bioelectricity via Cloud, but there’s enough Lightning to leave him intact doing so and lend his bioelectricity it’s more elongated shape. A further headcanon is that his family’s lightning quirks all effectively have different colors.

Kirishima Eijirou: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 13=12%; ϟ: 48=44%; ☂: 17=16%; ♒: 8=7%; ☁: 16=15%; (ϟ). That’s some classic Lightning right there.

Jiro Kyouka: ♋: 9=8%; ☀: 18=17%; ϟ: 18=17%; ☂: 14=13%; ♒: 9=8%; ☁: 40=37%; (☁). To make the sound of her heartbeat exponentially louder like a boss. Also introduces sensitivity problems.

Tokoyami Fumikage: ♋: 22=20%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 6=6%; ☂: 26=24%; ♒: 40=37%; ☁: 8=7%; (♋, ☂, ♒). Mist to materialize Dark Shadow, Rain to be dense enough to interact w/ which when paired w/ Storm fucks w/ him when Dark Shadow gets too powerful (ie overwhelming him & largely destructive).

fuck Mineta, let’s replace him

I can’t believe I have shamed myself into including him

Mineta Minoru: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 30=28%; ϟ: 7=6%; ☂: 6=6%; ♒: 26=24%; ☁: 33=30%; (☀, ♒, ☁). While he can inherently multiply what’s essentially wads of his hair, Mist is what imparts it’s special properties (otherwise he’d stick to his pillows & his clothes would catch on when he gets dressed), & Sun lets him naturally produce more. This is where overuse comes into play; too much Sun Flame in too short a time frame splits the skin, though thankfully the bloodflow washes out anything that might’ve evolved into cancer cells before it begins healing. I figure if he trains more & CAREFULLY, he might start using Sun to more enhance Cloud allowing him more stamina w/ his quirk.

From the Ocean-set, you get:

Ashido Mina: ♋: 30=28%; ☀: 20=19%; ϟ: 25=23%; ☂: 10=9%; ♒: 15=14%; ☁: 8=7%; (♋, ☀, ϟ) / (☈): she adjusts pH to get what she wants. It’s fair chance she was born with near-Sky values.

Iida Tenya: ♋: 19=18%; ☀: 21=19%; ϟ: 19=18%; ☂: 7=6%; ♒: 22=20%; ☁: 20=19%; (♋, ☀, ϟ, ♒, ☁) / (♓, ♎w). Combustion engine, baby! He’s exploding things to go faster. His family’s been cultivating this particular quirk so long his line is close to producing Skies!

Uraraka Ochako: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 22=20%; ϟ: 23=21%; ☂: 24=22%; ♒: 19=18%; ☁: 14=13%; (☀, ϟ, ☂, ♒) / (☄, ♆w, ☾). Manipulating magnetism to cancel out a lot of the gravity by making it attracted to itself & only itself so repelling everything not itself, & reflection to drop them back into gravity by touching her own fingertips. Her Cloud attribute isn’t actually able to manifest outside of her body b/c it lacks outward-manifesting strength; it makes up for this in being able to apply Moon w/ extra depth & precision. The depth part is what makes her nauseous. She’s actually got a hidden attribute in Waterfall/binding! She might be able to functionally (seek a) target where she drops stuff later on if she discovers it.

Mezou Shouji: ♋: 22=20%; ☀: 12=11%; ϟ: 6=6%; ☂: 6=6%; ♒: 28=26%; ☁: 34=31%; (♋, ♒, ☁) / (♎). Expansion materializes new body parts with the help of Mist, Cloud to shorthand remember bodyparts he’s already got, & Storm to reabsorb them when they’re no longer needed.

Hagakure Tooru: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 6=6%; ☂: 36=33%; ♒: 30=28%; ☁: 24=22%; (☂, ♒, ☁) / (☾). She’s just straight up reflecting most if not all light that hits her body, which is why you can see her clothing but not her. HC she’s got excellent night vision; you might see a bit of eyeshine even!

Hmmm... for funsies, how about:

Shinsou Hitoshi: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 36=33%; ☂: 30=28%; ♒: 24=22%; ☁: 6=6%; (ϟ, ☂, ♒) / (♆). He takes control by binding his will on top of yours, like puppet strings. He reroutes your actions to his command w/ a combination of redirecting your natural electrical signals in your brain (which is why getting jarred will return your action to you) & Mist enabling him to do it in ways that won’t get detected until he does it. He’d be unstoppable if he ever worked out how to do it without the invitation; though as it’s partly psychological he might stop himself from ever overcoming that limitation.

And lastly from the Earth-set, you have:

Aoyama Yuuga: ♋: 30=28%; ☀: 29=27%; ϟ: 28=26%; ☂: 6=6%; ♒: 8=7%; ☁: 7=6%; (♋, ☀, ϟ) / (☈) / (☣). He’s fermenting the bacteria in his stomach by changing the acidity of his stomach acids whenever he shoots his laser. Boy’s gotta eat if he wants it to recharge.

Kouda Kouji: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 37=34%; ϟ: 37=34%; ☂: 11=10%; ♒: 11=10%; ☁: 6=6%; (☀, ϟ) / x / (♣). He can communicate w/ living things b/c he’s basically making them recognize him as a friend (not that he doesn’t make friends with them anyway, tho).

Satou Rikidou: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 22=20%; ϟ: 32=30%; ☂: 30=28%; ♒: 11=10%; ☁: 7=6%; (☀, ϟ, ☂) / ☄w / (▲). He compresses sugar to allow his body to process it quicker without it having to be digested first.

Sero Hanta: ♋: 35=32%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 6=6%; ☂: 7=6%; ♒: 6=6%; ☁: 48=44%; (♋, ☁) / x / (♨). He produces something sticky then extends it very far.

Yaoyorozu Momo: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 7=6%; ϟ: 6=6%; ☂: 35=32%; ♒: 35=32%; ☁: 19=18%; (☂, ♒, ☁) / ☾w / (✿). This is obvious, but I will say she gives whatever she makes true form because she’s using both knowledge to give it form & real energy derived from her body to give it material, which is why nothing dissolves away once she turns away from it.

You might have noticed a few missing. Here’s Todoroki w/ some calculations for his family members! Yeah!

Enji Todoroki/Endeavor: ♋: 49=45%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 6=6%; ☂: 25=23%; ♒: 9=8%; ☁: 13=12%; (♋, ☂). Storm because fire (named Hellfire because it curls strangely & the fact it could burn everything), Rain for upping temperature by effecting density (meaning a thinner stream of fire).

Touya/Dabi: ♋: 37=34%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 6=6%; ☂: 17=16%; ♒: 9=8%; ☁: 33=30%; (♋, ☁), Storm has the lowest energy & temperature imo, and Cloud’s b/c he can make a LOT of fire; I HC it’s more than Dumpster Fire could manage (that guy’s more of a precision over power kinda guy Flame wise, even if still pretty powerful). This Todoroki bro is just that good with his quirk, to produce blue fire by pure willpower.

Fuyumi: ♋: 13=12%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 7=6%; ☂: 34=31%; ♒: 29=27%; ☁: 19=18%; (☂, ♒, ☁) / ♎w, ☾w. She’s totally a Rain, you can fight me on this. Her quirk’s gotta be something Asshole would consider useless for Hero work, so I’ll venture it might be Chill: temperature manipulation with a leaning towards cooler temps. If she ever became truly aware of the possibilities she could conjure, she’d obliterate him. Have fun sparking fire when everything refuses to heat up, bitch, lmao.

Natsuo: ♋: 8=7%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 13=12%; ☂: 16=15%; ♒: 49=45%; ☁: 16=15%; (♒). Mostly so every single Todoroki has their own major element, though it’s still an entirely possible outcome from his parents. I don’t think he’s publicly quirkless because if that was a possibility his father would’ve gotten a new wife/brood mare b/c he’s THAT asshole. However, his Mist is strong enough that even if he was, he could’ve become an Active Flame user at a young age, and Mist’s pale blue color and gaseous form (if seen) might’ve made him seem like another temperature manipulator, thus also useless for his father’s ambitions. If he’s the type, he might be using it as a more physical support for himself, such as running longer or lifting more without injury than should be possible for someone who doesn’t exercise, that kind of thing.

Shouto: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 6=6%; ☂: 6=6%; ♒: 42=38%; ☁: 42=38%; (♒, ☁) / x / (♦). He’s the ultimate ice maker, & the fire side is just genetics making a general fire. If he ever became able to use Flames instead of fire, the fire would instead be a violet color rather than the yellowish one that it is now. Mist & Cloud are higher than his mother’s due to some very mild combination with his father’s values. It also makes his ice & consequently his fire VERY strong, considering every scrap not needed by the others is fed into his ice.

Rei: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 7=6%; ☂: 9=8%; ♒: 40=37%; ☁: 40=37%; (♒, ☁) / x / (♦). Ice, but a bit more spread out for variety. I’ve given her a common surname Yukimura, 雪村 "snow village" that alludes to her ice quirk, Flame, & the fact she seems to have had little support over the years.

Here’s Bakugou & Izuku!

Bakugou Katsuki: ♋: 30=28%; ☀: 30=28%; ϟ: 13=12%; ☂: 13=12%; ♒: 11=10%; ☁: 11=10%; ☰, (♋, ☀) / x / (☣). A first generation Sky. Fermentation applies to various bacteria that’s present in his sweat b/c they live on his skin, with Storm killing them & Sun activating whatever is left behind. He doesn’t always use Storm, which just leaves Sun sparking his palms, a holdover from his father also being a Swamp user.

Midoriya Izuku: ♋: 18=17%; ☀: 14=13%; ϟ: 26=24%; ☂: 14=13%; ♒: 14=13%; ☁: 22=20%; ☰, (ϟ, ☁) / ☵, (♓, ♎). A legacy Sky from his mother’s side (she’s an Earth as is most of the family on that half of his tree), though it’s completely chance he managed to be an Ocean b/c the values his father had lowered just the right higher Earth stats his mother had. Lightning & Cloud have high values enough to be secondaries, which actually shows up whenever he uses One for All which is naturally propagating to begin with. He’s got the proper Lightning appearing & everything. Whirlpool & Tide are an accident of numbers but also greatly appreciated by enabling better control? allocation? of One for All’s power.

Here’s everyone else who didn’t fit anything else above, like teachers & secondary characters!

Midoriya Inko: ♋: 18=17%; ☀: 15=14%; ϟ: 15=14%; ☂: 18=17%; ♒: 21=19%; ☁: 21=19%; ☰, (♒, ☁) / ☵, (♓, ♆) / ☷. She pulls things like gravity, ‘nuff said.

Hisashi Midoriya: ♋: 19=18%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 31=29%; ☂: 7=6%; ♒: 22=20%; ☁: 23=21%; (♋, ϟ, ♒, ☁) / ♎w. Aways from being a Sky, but any potential offspring have a fairly good chance of being one with the right spouse/Inko. His ϟ deals with plasma, ☁ gives some projection so he doesn’t light himself on fire, ♒ a bit of fireproofing to the body parts & organs involved in fire-beathing, & ♋ some true (excuse the pun) fire power to what he can disintergrate w/ the fire produced. End result is a whitish-yellow flame between 2,200 °F (1,200 °C) & 2,400 °F (1,300 °C). I HC that he doesn’t have a very far reach with his fire-breath, about an arm length maybe unless he’s so emotional he lights some Cloud so it’s a full body length or longer. I also HC he took his wife’s name when they married, so I use Teiko (醍醐 "Good liquor, fine wine; clarified butter, ghee," w/ a pun of 大悟 "enlightenment") as his previous surname.

Aizawa Shouta: ♋: 20=19%; ☀: 7=6%; ϟ: 6=6%; ☂: 29=27%; ♒: 25=23%; ☁: 21=19%; (♋, ☂, ♒, ☁) / (☾). He’s sending a cancellation wave (the reverse reflection, no?) but the pale color of Moon is overpowered by his visible Storm which gives his eyes a visage of red & makes them dry af. He releases it in waves w/ Rain being the largest component meaning it floats his hair & gives the appearance of being underwater. Doubly powerful in that Rain, Mist, & Cloud are divisible by both points and percentage.

Camie: ♋: 7=6%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 21=19%; ☂: 30=28%; ♒: 38=35%; ☁: 6=6%; (ϟ, ☂, ♒) / ♆w / (✿). I made her a Desert rather than just a regular Mist because I had another calculation, tbh. I also figure Desert would be more fitting since while dramatic she’s also fairly chill and likes a good laugh, & Mist always seemed like a “effect self” more than “effect others” kind of utilization (not that it’s not possible or anything, obvs). Waterfall is for when she finally gets that little niggle in her technique that will allow her to greatly expand the range she currently has, as in “will hold until she lets it drop” kinda range.

Hawks: ♋: 6=6%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 49=45%; ☂: 14=13%; ♒: 26=24%; ☁: 7=6%; (ϟ, ♒). His wings can do and handle some crazy shit because they are made of reinforced (ϟ) crazy shit (♒), and that’s just how he is.

Villains!

All For One: ♋: 11=10%; ☀: 19=18%; ϟ: 20=19%; ☂: 12=11%; ♒: 35=32%; ☁: 11=10%; ☰, (☀, ϟ, ♒). Mist for it being a mostly mental power for all that it effects his body, Sun to pull up the right genetics configuration FOR the quirks he’s taken, Lightning so his actual DNA is protected or lets him revert back to his own.

Shigaraki Tomura/Shimura Tenko: ♋: 71=65%; ☀: 6=6%; ϟ: 6=6%; ☂: 6=6%; ♒: 8=7%; ☁: 11=10%; (♋). Simple. Got deep reserves & relatively high quirk stamina from Nana's side thru his father.

Since it’s a common headcanon that Skies will vie for elements until they got a full arc & put themselves against other Skies in order to get the ones they want, Bakugou & Izuku were put into an instinctive conflict when Bakugou got access to his quirk. Oceans Encompass so Izuku seriously just did want to be friends for a good while for all he wasn’t Active, but Bakugou doesn’t or didn’t get that because he saw Izuku as a potential or possibly actual disruption to his own Harmony.

And since to have Flames the Earthlings need to have existed, I’m proposing that the Trinisette was disrupted by whatever, such as a mission for potential Arcobaleno resulting in all of them dying with/without ever bonding to the Pacifiers or Kawahira dying either before Bermuda could come into being/Bermuda got a lucky shot in before abruptly staying dead from backlash, & quirks are what appeared from Flames spiraling out of control. Flame distribution is fairly unique even among close family members, resulting in equally unique is similar quirks.

BNHA-verse has gotta prepare for a big storm, is what I’m saying.

+edit: Maybe All for One was one of the first Quirked people to be born to that first disruption wave & discovered he could take Quirks, went out of his way to get powerful ‘Quirks’ first (or what he thought of as Quirks/super powers, but might have been Flame abilities specialized or not), resulting in a shortage of any potential emergency Arcobaleno if Kawahira didn’t die off suddenly.

desperate answer for ‘insane’ smith

jimmy anderson is but to crack the steve smith code, admitting it's going to take either an unplayable delivery or uncharacteristic mistakes to disregard the world’s satisfactory batsman — but indian spinner ravi ashwin has another concept. Ashwin, ranked fourth behind global number one test bowler anderson, had a unique idea after smith persevered his 3-yr reign without being dismissed on the mcg on day one. Smith, who will resume on 65 when day of the fourth ashes check starts offevolved, keeps to build a case he's australia’s first-class batsman due to the fact don bradman. At stumps on boxing day, smith had scored 434 check runs on the mcg considering his maximum current dismissal at the venue. The skipper went to sleep on tuesday needing 9 extra runs to make it 500 for the series, for the duration of which he’s averaged 163. 66 and peeled off two guy-of-the-fit centuries.

“while a person is in that kind of shape you need to hope for a mistake or desire you bowl a ball that’s suitable enough to put off him,” anderson said. “it felt like, in particular with the brand new ball, i beat the bat and notion ‘here we cross’.

“then the subsequent 11 balls i bowled he performed fairly without problems. He’s manifestly in a actually hot streak and as a bowler it could be hard developing in opposition to a person like that. However it’s our process to provide you with approaches of getting him out.”

all of us desire we were half of the batter steve smith is at the moment. He’s seeing the ball like a watermelon and making it appearance so easy,” warner said after scoring 103 on boxing day. Anderson and stuart large both sledged smith at adelaide oval. The proper-hander turned into disregarded for 40 and 6 at some stage in the day-night test but england have for the reason that been reluctant to pepper smith with verbals.

“we've mentioned a few various things we can attempt for smith. We have attempted plenty,” england skipper joe root stated on the eve of the fourth test. “we were given on top of him in adelaide.” smith is ready to complete the world’s leading run-scorer in 2017, having helped himself to 1192 runs at seventy four. 5.

“i realize it wasn’t interesting to watch. It wasn’t interesting to play in, to be sincere, when it’s that attritional. But there’s not loads we are able to do about it from here.”

take a look at exquisite shane warne earlier stated the pitch became as flat as he’d seen at the mcg, whilst ed cowan joked the groundsman “idea there has been a bbl game occurring”. The mcg’s current history suggests england’s torment is probable to preserve, specially with offspinner moeen ali out of shape. Australia published big totals in blowout victories over pakistan and the west indies in the past boxing day exams and performed out a high-scoring draw with india in 2014. All three sheffield shield video games performed on the mcg so far this season have did not produce a result. Josh hazlewood closing week described the wicket because the flattest in australia. “it’s quite flippantly paced, there’s no actual sideways motion, no actual swing and it doesn’t spin lots,” the australian seamer stated. Performing mcg curator michael salvatore defended the drop-in wicket earlier than the take a look at, pronouncing he was assured a end result would be produced.

“we’ve had drop-ins here for 19 years and we’ve best had one draw ... We’ve got no issues approximately that in any respect,” he stated.

Shane Warne lobs one up. Arjuna Ranatunga steps out and smacks it instantly. Warne readies himself for a caught-and-bowled dismissal, however the ball by means of now has bulleted previous him for a boundary. The following ball a chest-high complete toss and Ranatuga pulls it off entrance foot for a six. Those had been unforgettable attractions from the 1996 International Cup ultimate. His enthusiasts nonetheless recall that second as ‘Ranatunga owns Warne’.

Ranatunga completed with a 37-ball 47 no longer out as he was the primary cricketer to attain the profitable run in a International Cup ultimate (given the former WC ultimate victories had been scripting by means of a staff protecting a ranking). Over time, Warne and Ranatunga went directly to scale their rivalries. They continuously were given private, and didn’t hang themselves again from having a pass at each and every different.

Additionally Learn

In 1999, Warne made his emotions clearer. He advised Instances, “There’s numerous animosity between Arjuna and myself. I don’t like him, and I’m no longer in a membership of 1.” Six years later, Ranatunga brazenly known as him an “overvalued bowler” who may “by no means be a task type”.

Warne rated Ranatunga as his 93rd favorite cricketer in his guide Shane Warne’s Century: My Best 100 Take a look at Cricketers.

Excerpts from the guide will throw extra mild on their no longer so cordial courting. In the usage of ‘no so cordial’, I’m being type to the cricketers who constitute the gentleman’s recreation.

“Thru gritted enamel, I’ve put Arjuna Ranatunga in my 100, as a result of everyone is aware of I don’t like Ranatunga… if there used to be any manner I may knock him all the way down to quantity 101 for the needs of this guide, I’d be overjoyed to take action.

“The elemental downside I had with Ranatunga used to be his angle in opposition to the sport. He didn’t play cricket in the precise spirit and attempted to control the rules and rules with out in reality breaking them.

“I will consider events when he led his staff off the sphere as a result of he used to be unsatisfied with an umpiring determination, ordered an umpire the place to face at the back of the wicket, known as for a runner by means of faking harm to hide his personal health – he seemed as despite the fact that he’d swallowed a sheep – and advised his teammates to not shake our fingers after a fit.

“He used to be described as somewhat Napoleon early in his captaincy profession and I believe he took it as reward, he used to be so frustrating. I’ve no longer heard a excellent phrase for him from a unmarried world participant out of doors Sri Lanka.”

The background

The day ahead of the beginning of the 2003 International Cup, Warne used to be despatched house after a drug check carried out (for a banned diuretic) all over an ODI sequence in Australia resulted sure. Warne claimed that it used to be a prescribed ‘fluid pill’ given to him by means of his mom to give a boost to his look — to do away with his double chin to be exact.

A tearful Warne left the Australian facet stunned as he then served a 12 months ban.

“I admitted to the listening to that I had taken a pill in early December. I used to be doing a large number of wine promotions. I’d had a pair too many bottles of wine and had a couple of past due nights. I took a fluid pill then. It used to be to do away with a double chin. The December check confirmed small strains of the similar factor. That used to be ahead of my [shoulder] operation. That proves I didn’t take the fluid pill to masks anything else,” Warne clarified in Melbourne.

If Ranatunga used to be fats (like he swallowed a sheep), Warne all over his enjoying days wasn’t the leanest guy. He grabbed headlines for his mastery, chubbiness and off-field antics. Then again, each those males didn’t permit their vastness to come back in the best way in their greatness.

Warne, the bully

Warne used to be a grasp at sledging. Daryll Cullinan needed to see a psychologist because of Warne’s mastery with the ball and the artwork of ‘psychological disintegration’ because the Australians would put it. Even for as soon as, he controlled to get the simpler of the good blokes corresponding to Sourav Ganguly and Nasser Hussain via sledging.

However Ranatunga wouldn’t digest any grime thrown at him. He generally is a Napoleon with phrases too.

Warne had it in 2004, after he returned to world cricket submit the ban. Australia had been traveling Sri Lanka. The sequence used to be rightly billed as Warne vs Muralitharan.

It have been 4 years since Ranatunga had retired from world area; he additionally had gained a seat within the Sri Lankan Parliament within the 2001 elections. Warne used to be requested in a press convention if he would meet his previous foe. Warne spent no time mincing with phrases and poked a laugh, “Arjuna, he’s most probably slotting himself round at 150 pounds these days, is he? Swallowed a sheep or one thing like that.”

Ranatunga isn’t the one that in most cases swallows barbs. He spoke to AP from his house.

Shane Warne by no means overlooked a chance to take a dig at Arjuna Ranatunga (Symbol courtesy: Getty)

“If I swallow a lamb or a goat, it’s none of his trade. However I should inform him that I don’t swallow the ones drugs and blame my mom for it,” Arjuna lived as much as his title and hit the bull’s eye. He persevered, “I’m high-quality and are compatible at 95 kilograms. It’s higher to swallow a sheep or a goat than swallow what he has been swallowing.

“I’m without a doubt going to fulfill him. I can even invite him to wait certainly one of my marketing campaign conferences. Although I do know I would possibly chance shedding some votes.”

Then again, Ranatunga confirmed some recognize for his mythical foe when he concluded, “I, alternatively, recognize Warne as a participant. He’s nice.”

Warne completed with 26 wickets from Three Exams, 2 at the back of Murali. Then again, Warne averaged 20, Three issues higher than Murali’s 23. Each had an economic system charge of three.10. Warne struck each 38 balls in comparison to Murali’s 44. Warne’s heroics helped Australia sweep that sequence Three-Zero. He ended his profession nearly Three years later with 708 wickets and the tag of ‘arguably the best spinner ever’.

Suvajit Mustafi consumes cricket for lunch, fiction for dinner and munches a lot of different snacks all the way through the day. Sure, a jack of a number of trades, all Suvajit dreamt of used to be being India’s International Cup profitable skipper however ended up being a sports activities author, creator, screenwriter, director, copywriter, graphic fashion designer, sports activities marketer, strategist, entrepreneur, thinker and traveller. Donning such a lot of hats, it’s cricket which supplies him without equal excessive and the place he reveals solace. He will also be adopted at @RibsGully [Twitter] and rivu7 [Facebook].

North Korea take a look at-fires ballistic missile in global

North Korea test-fired a ballistic missile on Saturday, the South Korean and U.S. Militaries stated, defying warnings from America and the reclusive country’s major ally, China, which have tried for years to rein in its fingers packages.

The check, from a place north of the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, seemed to have failed, U.S. And South Korean officers said, in what might be North Korea’s fourth successive unsuccessful missile take a look at due to the fact March.

The check came as U.S. Secretary of kingdom Rex Tillerson warned the U.N. Security Council that failure to slash North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile packages could lead to “catastrophic results”.ballistic weapon

U.S. officers, talking on condition of anonymity, stated the missile become possibly a medium variety weapon referred to as a KN-17 and looks to have broken up inside minutes of setting out.

South Korea stated the North was gambling with fire and warned it of tougher U.N. Sanctions.

The South Korean navy stated the missile, fired from the Pukchang location in a northeasterly route, reached an altitude of seventy-one km (forty-four miles) before disintegrating a couple of minutes into the flight. It stated the release turned into a clear violation of U.N. Resolutions and warned the North not to act rashly.

The North has been carrying out missile and nuclear weapons associated sports at an exceptional charge considering that the beginning of the year and is believed to have made a few progress in developing intermediate-range and submarine-launched missiles.

U.S. President Donald Trump, who instructed Reuters in an interview on Thursday North Korea became his biggest worldwide challenge, said the launch was an affront to China.

“North Korea disrespected the desires of China & its notably reputable President when it launched, though unsuccessfully, a missile today. Terrible!,” Trump stated in a submit on Twitter after the launch.

America has been hoping North Korea’s sole essential best friend, China, can convey pressure to endure. But China says us must now not over-estimate the impact it has over its neighbor.

Just before the missile take a look at, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi informed the U.N. Protection Council on meeting on North Korea it became not most effective as much as China to remedy the North Korean trouble.

“The key to fixing the nuclear difficulty on the peninsula does no longer lie in the palms of the Chinese aspect,” Wang stated.

Each China and Russia rebuked a U.S. threat of military force.

There has been no immediately reaction to the release from China. Japan condemned it as unacceptable.

Trump, in his interview with Reuters, said he had praised Chinese language leader Xi Jinping for “trying very difficult” on North Korea, even though Trump warned a “fundamental, main conflict” between the USA and North Korea became feasible.

Anxiety on the Korean peninsula has been high for weeks over fears the North might also conduct a protracted-variety missile check, or its 6th nuclear check, across the time of the April 15 anniversary of its state founder’s delivery, or the day marking the founding of its army this week.

In a display of force, we are sending the U.S.A.Carl Vinson aircraft carrier group to waters off the Korean peninsula, where it will join the U.S.Michigan, a nuclear submarine that docked in South Korea on Tuesday.

With North Korea performing in defiance of the pressure, the united states could conduct new naval drills and deploy more ships and plane inside the region, a U.S. official instructed Reuters.

‘Complex TIMING’

The timing of the release counseled a complicated North Korean message to the global, said Kim Dong-Yun, an expert at Kyungnam University’s Institute for Far Eastern Studies in Seoul.global warming debunked scientifically.97% scientists climate change debunked

“It turned into planned at a Complicated timing around the quiet of the South Korea-U.S. Joint military drills, the use talking approximately military options and the announcement of North Korea regulations and the safety Council assembly,” Kim stated.

South Korean and U.S. Forces were accomplishing annual navy drills when you consider that the beginning of March that conclude on the quiet of April.

Kim said North Korea might have were given the information it wanted with the missile’s brief flight, then blown it up in a bid to restrict the anger of China, which disapproves of the North’s weapons applications and has warned it in opposition to further provocation.

North Korea rattled international powers in February while it correctly released a new intermediate-range ballistic missile that it stated should carry a nuclear weapon. It additionally efficaciously tested ballistic missiles on March 6. It is not clear what has brought about the series of failed missile exams because then.

The Trump administration should respond to the test via rushing up its plans for brand spanking new U.S. Sanctions, including viable measures against precise North Korean and Chinese entities, said the U.S. official, who declined to be recognized.

“Something it truly is prepared to head could be taken from the larger package and expedited,” stated the legit.

The U.N. Safety Council is probably to begin discussing an assertion to sentence the missile launch, stated diplomats, adding that it become not going to be issued on Friday. the safety Council historically condemns all missile launches by means of Pyongyang.us nuclear missile locations

“It could have happened today precisely due to the fact we had the meeting,” Italian U.N. Ambassador Sebastiano Cardi, chair of the safety Council’s North Korean sanctions committee, told reporters.

“It’s illegal, it must no longer be finished, It is any other provocative motion with the aid of North Korea.”

However such recurring condemnation and a chain of sanctions resolutions since 2006, while North Korea performed its first nuclear take a look at, have achieved little to obstruct its push for ballistic missiles and nuclear palms.america nuclear missile locations

The South Korean baby-kisser predicted to win a may additionally 9 presidential elections, Moon Jae-in, who has encouraged a greater moderate coverage at the North, known as the test an “exercise in futility”.

“We urge once more the Kim Jong Un regime to right now prevent reckless provocative acts and pick the route to cooperate with the global community which includes giving up its nuclear application,” Park Kwang-on, a spokesman for Moon, said in an announcement, relating to the North Korean chief.global connections travel club scam.global vacation membership page

Moon has been important for the deployment of a sophisticated U.S. Missile protection gadget within the South meant to counter North Korea’s missile hazard, which China additionally strongly gadgets too.

Anti-Deliver Swarm Missile Defense Device and Fragmentation Internet Pattern Dispersion Strategy

America Military is the most powerful and maximum superior Army on this planet. There honestly is not even a 2d vicinity, no one comes close. Even though China now does have extra ships than us Army, our firepower, structures, and gadget just about blows the entirety else out of the water. Nonetheless, as other countries build anti-Ship missiles, we ought to have methods to protect our ships from the incoming ordinance.

Now then, we do have all types of splendid systems to shoot down incoming missiles, and shortly our ships may be geared up with laser anti-Ship missile Protection structures. One of the neatest systems that I’ve visible is referred to as Steel Typhoon. Mix that with the brand new Aegis radar guided structures and you’ve got something which can protect your feet. But what if the enemy sends big swarms of missiles toward one in every of your most valuable assets? What if they try this towards a US plane provider?

It’s far my belief that we want to design a new Machine to take out swarms of incoming missiles. What we need is proximity fuses on the Protection Machine for each individual bullet or projectile. This way the projectile can explode into an entire bunch of different pieces in the front of the incoming missiles swarm. All of those portions will also hit all the other incoming missiles. And this needs to manifest far enough away so you could have a three or four tiered technique, pulling down the swarm in a grid Pattern.

Consequently, hitting the missiles that are closest first, and sending projectile portions sideways, so that the other missiles will run into them and also explode. There are lots of talks approximately how Metallic Typhoon sends out a wall of lead, But we need the wall to be perpendicular to all those missiles, now not only a blob traveling closer to them. In other words, they need to get to a positive factor and unfold out sideways, developing a fragmentation Net Pattern, through a specific dispersion Method using physics and arithmetic to ensure that no missile gets through.

And then we want to do this 3 instances, in case some missiles take place to get thru, they will now not continue to get through. After which on the very last boat we can use the ordinary Deliver’s Device to take out the few missiles which can be left, without overwhelming our structures. Certainly, I hope you’ll please consider all this and suppose on it. It is critical to protecting our Navy fleet.
