#escape to victory

[fght-ff-yr-dmns]

Back before the internet was widely used and available, Ceefax aka Teletext was an important source for up to date information.

The latest news and sports scores would be updated in real time, and I’d spend ages flicking through the pages.

The league tables, latest scores and transfer gossip was all available via this pixelated service.

I get nostalgic for really random things, and Teletext/Ceefax is one of them.  It’s hard to believe that now with all the information in the world at your fingertips, this was once the pinnacle of technology.

So, I recreated the sports scores page and used some fictional teams and players that you may recognise.

Heaven can wait-The celebrities who died in 2022

This is a tribute to some of the stars who shed their mortal coil for an exchange to eternity . January Sidney Poitier KBE (February 20, 1927 – January 6, 2022) was an American actor, film director, and diplomat. In 1964, he was the first black actor and first Bahamian to win the Academy Award for Best Actor. Michael Lee Aday (September 27, 1947 – January 20, 2022), known professionally as…

The whumpee had escaped, and they truly didn’t believe that the whumper would ever face some kind of justice, But they had completely underestimated how vicious their friends would be. The whumpee is finally allowed to rest as they see that the whumper wont ever be an issue anymore, and after so long, they’re finally safe.

You know what I'm gonna say it.

Fa Yuiry was important not just to the growth and development of Kamille's character, but extremely important to the story and themes of Zeta as a whole.

Fa was someone who is shown to care a great deal for kamille, but her motivations and charecter do not begin and end with that. Fa shows us the war through a more grounded lens than the powerful newtypes of Kamille and Char. She shows how even though she endured plenty of tragedy over the course of the story, she still finds it in herself to fight for AEUG and fight for the future. She is an incredibly strong person. However she also shows how even though she is undeniably in the right for fighting for what she believes in, the horrors of war still end up taking a very heavy toll and take nearly everything from her, much like Kamille. This culminated in her breakdown with him and Rosamia on Axis where she questions if she even believes in the newtype theory and questions if anything they're doing will put an end to the horrible cycle that the UC is trapped in. Ultimately However, her relationship with Kamille and (above all else) her own personal strength goes her through it all, getting both her and Kamille the happy ending they deserved. All of this is central to the themes of Zeta and Gundam as a whole of the horrors of war and having faith in the future. She was a very important part of the story and the Argama crew.

She was also NOT a bad pilot and I will die on this hill.

UR NOT BEING SERIOUS

the line between ten's senses of selfishness and selflessness is very very thin because they both primarily stem from his sense of love (the thing he was born out of and the thing he lives and dies for). btw.

Nao AU + Escaping Gravity = Shimura Ochako!

Simple victory + Escaping Gravity = The One for All holder continues to confuse her.

Maybe I'm Perfect + Escaping Gravity = The One for All holder continues to scare her.

Squad Swap + Escaping Gravity = On second though, maybe it would be good idea to keep distance from the kid with the quirk made to end bloodline she is unfortunately part of.

Superheroes + Escaping Gravity = The second and third holders got two for one deal when cracking that vault.

Mighty Vigilante + Escaping Gravity = Clear runaway child showcasing multible quirks just to steal some food. Just another day in the life of Yagi Toshinori

Nao AU x Escaping Gravity: Correct

Simple Victory x Escaping Gravity: I feel like this is what she'd expect to happen, honestly

Maybe I'm Perfect x Escaping Gravity: now this would be unexpected for her

Squad Swap x Escaping Gravity: That's one way to do it

Superheroes x Escaping Gravity: That'll cause some interesting ripples

Mighty Vigilante x Escaping Gravity: Happens all the time

Every now and again I'm reminded of how fundamentally different ttrpg liveplays are as a storytelling medium from literally any other and it drives me a little bit bonkers. So much comes down to chance; you can plan and strategize and have some absolutely wild modifiers, but if you roll a nat 1 you still roll a nat 1. It doesn’t matter how important a character is to the narrative and how many plans the players have for them, they can still die at any time and be inevitably lost because the dice told you, sorry, resurrection didn’t work this time. And then we build the narrative around that, an echoing hole that can never be mended, because we have no other choice but to move one.

You never know if a risky choice will be rewarded or punished. You can go into what looks like an easy fight and lose bitterly due to bad luck, or into what should be an impossible one and still win. You will never be reassured by the knowledge that it’s a prewritten, planned out story where some things are bound to happen for maximum narrative impact.

But neither will moments feel cheapened by the knowledge that it was always bound to happen. A character comes back to life in a movie and, well, you know it’s because the narrative needed them and they were never truly at risk; they come back in the game and you know just how easily the dice could have landed on a different number and it wouldn’t have mattered how needed they were.

It can, if we allow it, remind us that purpose and meaning in real life has nothing to do with inevitability or fate; it’s all about what we make it, the choices that arise out of chance, the consequences that come from choice. We create our own narrative out of inherent meaninglessness and chaos and it is beautiful.

Light can't fuck his brother in the ass and he can only probably beat him to death with hammers. Will he at least get a consolation prize?
