About

Lellain grew up in a large, male dominated family in Ulgard in the Golar Sodality. Although assigned female at birth, he always felt that he was male. As he grew older, he began to have more and more conflicts with his grandfather, the head of his family, over this. These conflicts came to a head when Lellain turned 17, he came to a town meeting wearing pants to humiliate his grandfather after a fight. Enraged, Lellain's grandfather ordered the males of the family to beat Lellain up and shave his head, which they did. He was then subsequently thrown onto the street and disowned by his family. Only one family member, his aunt Naane, who was also disowned by the family for her unconventional nature as a female took him under her wing and together, they left the Golar Sodality for parts unknown. Years after that horrible event, Lellain met Suri and she instantly became a big sister figure towards him. He was attracted to her because she was trans too and he never met anyone like him before. She helped him adequately transition by stealing money to get top surgery for him and giving him special herbal supplements which deepened his voice. Lellain was beyond grateful to Suri for doing this for him and their bond remains strong, even after they did crimes together, got arrested by the Jithran Senate together, staged a jailbreak and stole a prototype prison ship together and...formed The Jade Owls together. Lellain is now the gunsmith of the Falaina, managing and repairing its defenses, especially its guns and cannons!

Personality

Russell often compares Lellain to the Norse God Loki or the Greek God Hermes. Lellain is a rowdy, loud, exuberant, mischievous guy who just has a penchant for teasing and pranks. Despite his cheerful nature, he can let his past get to him and he can have days where he can be serious and grouchy. He can have super low lows and really high highs.

Miscellaneous

Lellain speaks with an accent which, to Human ears, sounds like a mixture Hiberno-English and Scottish English (similar to Jacksepticeye and Scrooge McDuck)

Lellain has the power of Terrakinesis, meaning he the ability to manipulate elements derived from the earth. He can levitate rocks and stones, compress earthly matter, carve stones, create permanent impressions in solid rock, he also has powers over salt, gemstones, crystals, lava, and coals. He also has the ability to create small earthquakes.

Lellain is the Jade Owls' self-proclaimed troublemaker, a position he takes very seriously! He enjoys playing jokes and pranks on his teammates, though he can get out of hand sometimes. He also has a penchant for corny jokes. He’s one of those people who enjoys seeing others smile.

He can get very excitable, frequently expressing his excitement by screaming, dancing, twirling and flailing his arms.

He is an absolute maniac when it comes to explosives as well as guns and cannons, he really enjoys working with them to the point he is obsessed with them.

Lellain has a rather poor impulse control and can get very hyperactive.

Despite the fact that he is in a relationship with Suri, he is a sucker for beautiful ladies, he is a flirtatious player through and through.

If there is one thing Lellain loves more than anything else in the world, its sugar in all forms. Candies, pastries, honey. He has an immense sweet tooth and when he smells something sweet he wants to try it at all cost.

His absolute favorite dish is Root Stew, the signature dish of the Golars. He will guzzle it down no matter what’s in it, and if it’s in a bread bowl, he will munch it down. Traditional Golar Root Stew is made mainly of Vegetable Broth with light spices, root vegetables with greens and a little bit of meat. He likes to challenge Chaat to make different varieties of Root Stew, but he really dislikes it spicy.

Like almost all Golars, Lellain absolutely hates the sight of bare feet, that is a very dirty part of the body for him and the most unattractive part of a person’s body to him is feet.

At 4’5 or 134 Centimeters, Lellain is the second shortest member of the Jade Owls behind Suri. His short size and portly body frame can sometimes make him slow when running.

Owing to his past in the Golar Sodality, Lellain has a deep disrespect for authority figures, knights, police, etc. and he is particularly distrustful and disrespectful to elderly males in positions of authority, because he equates them to his grandfather.

Unlike most Golars, Lellain has a very low alcohol tolerance and can get drunk pretty quickly and when he does he can get pretty silly and stoned.

Russell gave Lellain the nickname Láthyros (Λάθυρος) which translates to Chickpea or Sweetpea in Greek. Russell chose this nickname for Lellain because Lellain can be mischievous, impish, and impulsive and also because his skin is a light periwinkle color like dark sweet peas.

Man Utd have the perfect player to take Mason Greenwood’s No 11 shirt if exit happens

Man Utd have the perfect player to take Mason Greenwood’s No 11 shirt if exit happens Manchester United remains uncertain about Mason Greenwood's future, even though charges against him were dropped five months ago. The English player might permanently leave the club, as his last appearance for them was in January 2022. In the event of his departure, Alejandro Garnacho could potentially inherit the No. 11 jersey. Following the dropped charges in February, Mason Greenwood is now able to resume his football career. However, Manchester United is still in the process of conducting an investigation and has not yet made a final decision on the player's future. Greenwood has resumed training and expressed his eagerness to continue his football career. Nonetheless, it remains uncertain whether he will return to Old Trafford. Although not as renowned as the No. 7 jersey, the No. 11 holds significance within the Manchester United community. The No. 11 jersey holds significant history as it was previously worn by Ryan Giggs, who achieved great success with 13 league titles and two Champions League trophies before retiring in 2014. If Mason Greenwood departs, the jersey will be available for another Manchester United player to claim. Antony, who previously wore the No. 11 jersey at Ajax before joining United a year ago, may be interested in taking it. However, Alejandro Garnacho could be a more suitable choice due to his immense potential and impressive performance in the previous season. The 19-year-old excelled under Erik ten Hag, contributing five goals and nine assists across various competitions. Despite his hopes of wearing the No. 7 jersey, Alejandro Garnacho missed out as it was assigned to new signing Mason Mount. Consequently, the No. 11 would serve as a suitable alternative for him. Garnacho shares similarities with Ryan Giggs, being a skillful and intelligent winger with speed and trickery. Some even believed that Garnacho should have started in the recent FA Cup final loss against Manchester City, ahead of Jadon Sancho. Manchester United recognizes Garnacho's immense potential and believes he can reach even greater heights during his tenure at the club. Alejandro Garnacho has demonstrated his commitment to Manchester United by signing a new contract before the season concluded. Assigning him the No. 11 jersey would serve as an incentive, boosting the confidence of the talented young player. On the other hand, Gabriel Agbonlahor, in a conversation with talkSPORT, expressed doubt about Mason Greenwood's future at Manchester United, stating that he does not envision the English player representing the club again. “I don’t think he will play in the Premier League again,” he said. “I think his reputation is damaged at Manchester United and England, I do think he will play on again in a different country, a different league. “And that’s down to them clubs, their managers and their owners if they decide to sign Mason Greenwood. “But I do feel living in England, being at football games, seeing what fans are like at games, I can’t see him going out there and playing for Manchester United again.” He continued: “I think for the owners as well, he’s an asset, he’s probably an £80million asset. “A very good player, talented, 21, what are they saying about it? Do they want to sell their asset? “It’s definitely something difficult to talk about, but for me, I can’t see in the next couple of years, him playing in the Premier League, I just can’t see it.” Man Utd have the perfect player to take Mason Greenwood’s No 11 shirt if exit happens Read the full article

𝙟𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙚 𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙩 + kit numbers

51 ( 𝕞𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕣 𝕔𝕚𝕥𝕪, 2015-2020 )

tartt was raised by city's academy, the elite development squad. on the elite squad, tartt wore number 51, a number he brought with him to the premier league in his debut in 2015. tartt averaged 8.9 minutes per match with city, with 7 goals to his name in the five years he played for city, under manager 𝐩𝐞𝐩 𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐚. tartt's highlights under man city include a free kick to finalise a 4-0 score against 𝚠𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚖 𝚞𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚎𝚍 in 2020, as well as an assist to relegate 𝚊𝚏𝚌 𝚛𝚒𝚌𝚑𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚍 to the championship league, also in 2020.

9 ( 𝕒𝕗𝕔 𝕣𝕚𝕔𝕙𝕞𝕠𝕟𝕕, 2019- )

-- tartt enjoyed a successful loan period at richmond during the 2019-2020 season. strange, isn't it, for a loanee to be assigned the 9 kit, one of the highest honours a manager can give a striker?

-- i'd say so. but let's see what tartt can do with this free kick opportunity - he hasn't missed one all season.

tartt's time at richmond began under owner 𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 and manager 𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤, and his loan was terminated under ownership of 𝘳𝘦𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘤𝘢 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘵𝘰𝘯 and manager 𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐨. tartt made his return to lasso's richmond in 2021, fresh off of the uk's number one show, lust conquers all. he kept the 9 kit - some may say an insult to 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗶 𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗮𝘀 of mexico, a brilliant striker of his own right, though perhaps he wears 14 by choice. others may say lasso simply doesn't know the meaning of the kit numbers, despite his half season managing richmond in 2020, leading to their relegation from the premier league to the championship. tartt in 9 for richmond is a brilliant player, who only seems to be growing into his boots. he's a leader on the pitch, and you can tell just by watching that his relationship with his teammates is a strong one. a big change for tartt, as, during his loan period, it was rare to see tartt pass the ball. highlights under lasso's richmond include a masterful orchestration of a goal against 𝚊𝚛𝚜𝚎𝚗𝚊𝚕 in 2022, where all eleven of richmond's players touched the ball on the way to the goal, finalized by 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗿 ( france, 8 ), and a brace against 𝚝𝚘𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚑𝚊𝚖 𝚑𝚘𝚝𝚜𝚙𝚞𝚛 during the fa cup quarterfinal match - including a free kick from deep on the pitch - in 2021, leading to championship league richmond making their wembley debut against city in the semifinals that year. tartt has made a name for himself at richmond, and we're excited to see where his career goes from here.

24 ( 𝕖𝕟𝕘𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕕, 2022- )

tartt won his first well-earned cap for england earlier this season, surely making his loved ones proud. when given his choice of kit numbers for the three lions, tartt chose 24, a nod to his richmond teammate, 𝘀𝗮𝗺 𝗼𝗯𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗮, a player we expect to see making his national debut sooner rather than later. when asked for comment on his kit choice, tartt replied,

"yeah, it [was] simple. sam's one of the greatest players i've seen set foot on a pitch before, and i've seen a lot. he's [redacted] brilliant, he is. lad's gonna go big places, bright places. it's an honour to wear his number on this stage."

tartt was substituted in during the 65th minute of england's most recent international match, and he already boasts sixteen touches, ten completed dribbles, one assist, and a free kick in the 84th minute for a goal for the three lions, helping them secure the 8-0 win. surely, this won't be the last we see of tartt in 24 for england.

[bottomlouisficfest]

Hello, Bottom Louis Fic Fest 2022 writers!

We know that some of our participating writers are seasoned professionals and have posted fics many times before, but we also know that there are some first-time writers participating in this year’s fest. That’s why we want to ensure that everyone knows exactly how to post their fic to our collection on AO3, how to post to Tumblr and Twitter, and how the posting schedule will work.

All Writers: Please Read

Fics should be submitted to the Bottom Louis Fic Fest 2022 collection by September 18, 2022 by 10AM ET. You may submit your fic now if is already ready.

You will be assigned a posting date and time by email by midnight ET on September 18, 2022.

Please include your prompt somewhere on AO3 - either in your summary, your beginning notes, or your end notes if you’d like to avoid spoiling the fic.

On Tumblr and Twitter, we recommend scheduling your photoset with the fic information and link so it will go up exactly at your assigned date and time.

Please tag us in your fic posts on Tumblr (@bottomlouisficfest) and Twitter (@BLFicFest).

Your fic must remain public on AO3 until the fest is complete.

The photoset/visual and link to your fic will be posted to both Tumblr and Twitter, either by you or by the BLFF. We will determine who is posting what through email.

Information About the Posting Schedule:

On September 18, after your fic has been submitted to the collection, you will receive an email from the BLFF assigning you a posting date and time. At that point, we will have a good idea of how many fics we will have, which means the mods of the fest will be able to determine what the posting schedule will be in terms of number of fics per day and frequency.

We will try to create a schedule that ensures variation in fic length and topic (for example, avoiding putting four A/B/O fics in a row or three long fics in a row) to help keep things interesting and manageable for readers. If you have any issue with your posting date or time, you can let us know and we can work with you to figure out a solution or move the date.

Instructions on Posting to AO3, Tumblr, and Twitter:

If you’re new to posting any of these places, please read on.

Posting to AO3:

Step 1: Sign into AO3.

Step 2: Click or hover over “Post” in the upper right corner of your screen.

Step 3: Click “New Work.”

Step 4: Fill out all the basic information for your fic.

Rating: Choose a rating for your fic. Since all fics for the Bottom Louis fic fest will have smut, we’d suggest that your fic be rated either Mature or Explicit. Mature is more appropriate for fics with less graphic smut, whereas Explicit is more appropriate for fics with more graphic smut.

Archive Warnings: If you have any serious warnings that need to be issued for your fic (such as graphic violence, major character death, or rape), please select them here. If none of those more extreme warnings apply to your fic, we’d recommend selecting No Archive Warnings Apply.

Fandoms: Please type and then select One Direction (Band). If your fic involves a crossover with another fandom, you can also add those here.

Categories: Though not required, we’d recommend selecting M/M (for a male/male pairing) and any other pairings that apply to your fic.

Relationships: Though not required, this is where you should enter the relationships that are featured in your fic. For example, you can put Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson or Zayn Malik/Louis Tomlinson. You may enter as many pairings as you have in your fic.

Characters: Though not required, if you would like, this is where you can enter the names of all or most of the characters that are featured in your fic.

Additional Tags: Though not required, we’d highly recommend using tags to your advantage, as many people search through AO3 tags to find new fics to read and therefore may be more likely to stumble on your fic. You can enter tags related to tropes that are featured in your fic (e.g. Enemies to Lovers, Fake Relationship), descriptions of the type of sexual content that may be involved (e.g. Rimming, Bottom Louis), any additional warnings, and any other details that you think might draw people to your fic. If you need more tag ideas, feel free to ask the BLFF mods off anon or scroll through other fics on AO3 for inspiration.

Step 5: Fill out the Preface information for your fic.

Work Title: This is where you will put the title of your fic.

Summary: This is where you will put the summary of your fic.

Notes: Although this is optional, you may want to add notes at the beginning and/or end of your fic. Notes at the beginning might further explain any tags or warnings, provide any context that will help people understand your fic, or tell people what prompt your fic is based on. Notes at the end of the fic might request kudos and comments, link to your Tumblr and/or Twitter accounts, link to your photosets so people can reblog or RT, inform people what prompt you wrote your fic based on, or thank people for reading. We highly recommend linking to your fic’s photosets in the end notes.

Step 6: Fill out the Associations information for your fic.

Post to Collections/Challenges: This is how you will add your fic to the collection. Our collection is Bottom Louis Fic Fest 2022. If you need further assistance adding your fic to the collection, please contact us.

This work has multiple chapters: If your fic has multiple chapters, select this box.

Set a different publication date: Although you can ignore this when you first submit your fic to the collection, on your assigned posting date (you cannot do it ahead of the date), you will want to check this box and change your publication date to that posting date. More information on this in Step 11 below or here.

Choose a Language: Be sure that English is selected.

Step 7: Fill out the Privacy information for your fic.

Only show your work to registered users: For this fest, please make sure your fic is public at least until all the fics are posted so that more people can read your fic.

Disable anonymous commenting: If you only want users with accounts to comment on this fic, select this box. Please note that this may decrease the number of comments you receive on your fic.

Enable comment moderation: If you would like to approve comments before they are posted on your fic, select this box.

Step 8: Enter your work text. If your fic will have multiple chapters, this is where you will enter the text from chapter one. We recommend copying and pasting your fic text into Rich Text (make sure Rich Text is selected at the upper right corner above the box). If you need a guide to HTML on AO3, check here. If you’ve found that copying and pasting your fic text into AO3 created extra spaces, there’s help on fixing that here.

Step 9: Post your fic (or preview it first, if that makes you more comfortable, and then post). Your fic is now officially part of the collection and will be revealed on your posting date. You will be able to edit your fic as necessary before it is made revealed, so don’t fret if you find typos or anything that you would like to add before your posting date.

Step 10: On September 18, 2022 by midnight ET, you will be notified of your posting date and time by email. If you have an issue with that posting date and time for any reason, please let us know.

Step 11: On your posting date, please change the posting date of your fic from the day you submitted it to your assigned posting date. This will ensure that your fic is moved to the most recently posted fics on AO3, which will help more people see it. For more information on changing your posting date, click here.

Step 12: On your assigned posting day and time, the BLFF mods will reveal your fic. You will then be permitted to post your photoset/visual to Tumblr and Twitter, or the BLFF will post it for you. There is more information on that process below.

Posting Your Photoset/Visual to Tumblr on Your Assigned Posting Date:

Note: If you don’t use Tumblr, the BLFF will do this for you. We will confirm whether you or the BLFF will be posting your fic to Tumblr when we email you your assigned posting date for the fest on September 18, 2022.

Step 1: Start a photo post on Tumblr. We’d highly recommend doing this on desktop instead of on mobile because often posting photos from mobile can mess with the formatting.

Step 2: Add your photoset/visual to the post, either as one large image (if it’s in that form) or as separate photos and arrange them to your liking.

Step 3: In the text body of the post, include any relevant details about your fic.

Our suggestion would be to include:

Title:

Rating:

Word Count:

Summary:

A link to your fic (we suggest making the title of the fic into a link)

A mention that you wrote this fic for the @bottomlouisficfest (please tag us!)

You can also include any relevant warnings (which should also be tagged or mentioned on AO3) or the number of chapters if it’s a chaptered fic (e.g. Chapters: 8/8) if you want to.

Step 4: In the tags of the post, be sure to tag any relevant blogs that might reblog it (e.g. @bottomlouisficfest, @blouisparadise, @hlupdate, @trackinghome, @1dficvillage) so that it’s easier to find. Please be sure to tag blogs within the first five tags of your post so they will be able to see it in their tag. The BLFF blog and BLP will be reblogging all of the fics at least twice.

Step 5: At your assigned time and posting date, you may post your photoset/visual post to Tumblr. We highly recommend scheduling your post to go up so it goes up automatically. To schedule a post on Tumblr, find the button where you would click Post, click the arrow next to it, and select Schedule. Be sure to keep time zones in mind to ensure that you’re scheduling the post to go up at the correct time in ET (Eastern Time).

Once you’ve posted your photoset or moodboard to Tumblr on your posting day, the BLFF blog and @blouisparadise will reblog it and help spread the word.

Posting Your Photoset/Visual to Twitter on Your Assigned Posting Date:

Note: If you don’t use Twitter, the BLFF will do this for you. We will confirm whether you or the BLFF will be posting your fic to Twitter when we email you about your posting date for the fest on September 18, 2022.

Step 1: Create a tweet to promote your fic. We’d recommend including:

Your photoset/visual

A link to your fic on AO3

A mention that your wrote the fic is for @BLFicFest (please tag us!)

Step 2: Post this tweet at your assigned time on your assigned posting date. If you are not available to post it at that exact time, you can schedule it using Twitter on a computer. To schedule a tweet, go to write a tweet as normal and find the small calendar and clock icon (this icon is furthest to the right) below the tweet box. This will allow you to select a date and time for your tweet to be posted. Be sure to keep time zones in mind to ensure that you’re scheduling the post to go up at the correct time in ET (Eastern Time).

The BLFF Twitter account and the BLP Twitter account will both RT it once it is up.

And there you have it! Your fic will officially be posted and a part of the BLFF 2022. We’re so proud of you and excited to read your fic!

summary: Four years ago, All For One and Shigaraki were defeated, taking One For All with them. At twenty years old, Katsuki and a quirkless Izuku are heroes, boyfriends, and partners. Until one day, they’re hit by a quirk that suddenly makes them fathers too. Now, with a newborn baby, they have to figure out who did this to them, and why it means the downfall of superhuman society.

a/n: Thank you to Lin, Ice, and obsessive-dumpling for reading all or sections of this fic. I really appreciated all the feedback. Extra special thanks to Joely for being my partner in this bang! Their work is phenomenal and you can find the first piece here.

Chapter One - Hush Little Baby, Don’t You Cry

The first time Izuku had been in this alley, it was with his back pressed against the wall, threads of his costume catching against the rough concrete as Katsuki kissed him silly after a good fight. The dead end was off one of the main avenues in their assigned district—a two-lane road that was busiest during rush-hour, and somewhat quiet otherwise.

When they’d first diverted a rampaging villain down this street, they’d discovered the space Katsuki’s explosions were allowed to take up, as well as the many lobbies, parking garages, and alleyways civilians could be herded to. It was now a mainstay in their strategy tool belt. Plus, it was just around the corner from their favorite date-night curry restaurant for when they finished a shift early.

This alley was where Izuku was hidden as he waited for Katsuki to draw their quarry close, looking forward to that curry as soon as they had the guy captured and cuffed.

Lying low was not, and had never been, Izuku’s combat style of choice. Even less so as the rip, thunk, and crinkle of metal tore over the screams of civilians not yet evacuated—a car being thrown across the street and collapsing in on itself like one of the many crumpled metal cans here in the alley Izuku had concealed himself in. He jogged in place in the shadows, high noon on the dot not even providing enough sun to reach this sliver of street between skyscrapers, and listened closely. No yelps, no whimpers—he had a few moments more.

Fa Jin was nothing surer than calculated risk. The amount of strength Izuku needed to build up could not exceed the amount of time he had to spare. What he had to spare, at the moment, depended on his partner.

A new blast, the loudest yet, followed the sound of the thrown car rolling to a stop, the boom rattling Izuku’s ears as it ricocheted off the hard walls. A loud “Die!” carried over both. Izuku risked a glance around the corner, hoping to finally catch a glimpse of the villain’s weak spot. The smoke was too thick, though, clouding the narrow gap to the alley. They must have gotten close.

Katsuki had been on the scene five minutes already, caught between the rock that was this ram-headed villain’s dense skull and the hard place of the armored vest he was wearing, protecting his more human middle. The quirk made the villain outsized, taller than either Izuku or Katsuki on two legs, and fast as hell when he ran on four. His horns were huge, sprouting from his forehead and curling around the sides of his head, protecting him as fully as a helmet. To compensate, his upper body was thick and stocky, in order to handle the weight of all that extra headgear. But without knowing if this was a transformation or mutant quirk, Izuku couldn’t be sure if they were playing against stamina or time—he had to prepare for both. So with both legs humming with energy, he ran out of the alley and towards the smoke.

Smoke from Katsuki’s explosions dissipated quickly—much lighter than the suffocating fog of One For All’s Smokescreen. But as Izuku emerged on the street, it was still thick enough for Katsuki’s appearance to be sudden, his body bisecting the cloud into two translucent plumes as he was thrown straight toward one of the concrete buildings that lined the streets. City blocks here were made strong—stable enough to withstand the region’s earthquakes and most villain attacks. Concrete to break your back against. 

Izuku sprang through the air, careful to hold onto his fastidiously stored Fa Jin in both legs as he intersected Katsuki’s path. His thighs tensed and released, the snapping of a slipknot tied and pulled, propelling him up just in time for Katsuki’s back to slam against Izuku’s front, knocking half his air away as his own body armor smashed against his upper ribs. 

They grunted as they fell to the ground, Katsuki grumbling, “Can’t fire behind me if I can’t see the goddamn extras on the ground,” before taking off back towards the sound of destruction.

Another car had been upturned, caught by the villain’s devilish horns and thrown overhead. There were still too many people around—Izuku had no choice but to leap in the direction of the car’s trajectory, and kick it with all his strength, landing it hard against a concrete wall instead of in the throng of people still tearing through the road. It crumpled, frame bending like Katsuki’s spine would have, glass on the far side shattering through the car’s interior moments before it fell to the ground, the rest of the glass coming with it as hail in a Japanese spring. It came with screams, far too many as the villain hurled further into town.

Izuku ran forward, his iron boots crunching solidly through the glass shards and metal debris scattered over the potholed road. Katsuki was high above him, gaining momentum with alternating explosions before flipping to land in front of the villain and blow him back, straight towards Izuku.

“Get to safety!” Izuku yelled to the still far too many civilians stampeding around him. He only needed the few square meters required for close combat, but this was lunch hour, and people dressed in black still swarmed the sidewalk.

Katsuki’s blast didn’t do as much as Izuku would have hoped. The villain was too stocky and solid—perhaps his skin was thicker as well. Izuku did notice that a bit of steam seemed to escape the villain’s horns. Either that had been a bit of wayward smoke, or his horns diverted some of the heat that should have been wearing down his body all this time.

Still, it blew the villain into Izuku’s path, and as Katsuki came down, Izuku jumped up like they were on a seesaw and the villain was their fulcrum. Izuku angled himself diagonally, letting the power of Fa Jin reach its apogee in his legs as he aimed for the pulsing veins thickly framing the villain’s neck. 

His left leg hit home, crashing Izuku and the villain to the upturned street, shards of glass breaking against his costume. Before Izuku could right himself, a hand wrapped around his arm and whipped him around by it. The socket of his shoulder went loose like a doll’s, as if connected to the arm by nothing but string. Not dislocated, but it would be in just a moment if he didn’t act fast.

Izuku was flipped upside down, but he let the weight of his boots carry him down as his back curved in a great arch. The friction of his heavy shoes against the rough road slowed his momentum, keeping him from being thrown, though the angle of his arm had him moments away from the joint of his elbow or shoulder—or both—snapping.

With a great kick, Izuku threw both legs into the air, one after the other, and used the remaining stock of Fa Jin in his right leg to catch the villain right under the chin. He wasn’t sure if the uncommon strength of this villain’s skull extended to his mandible, but the bone was somewhat pliant under Izuku’s foot, jutting to the right as his arm was freed from its sweaty hold. As weak a spot as any they’d found so far. Before he could make it far, though—swing himself over the villain’s shoulder and reassess if he could stockpile more power—the villain’s neck, red and already bruising from Izuku’s first kick, jerked the other way. His giant, gnarled horns caught Izuku, lashing across both legs, and all Izuku could feel was the shattering of many pieces.

He fell to the ground, metal falling from the loose cuffs of his pant legs, digging in behind his knees as they bent to survive the fall. Mei’s artificial Fa Jin device was now indistinguishable from the many remains of the few cars that had skidded past this same spot. All Izuku had now was a bit of defense in the Teflon against his chest, but nothing for offense but his raw strength, and his wit. It was all he’d had for five years. 

“Fucking die, scum!”

And Katsuki, who was all firepower as his arms swung from position behind him, propelling him forward, and into the face of the villain, delivered an uppercut that opened into an explosion right under the chin. The weak spot sent the villain flying, horns steaming, as Izuku struggled to get up, trying not to let any of the many pieces of metal and glass that he’d landed in get any further under his skin.

Izuku pushed himself up with one gloved hand, reaching the other hand into the pouch on his hip containing quirk-canceling cuffs. Even underpowered against this villain, Katsuki could make this the end of the fight with just a couple more explosions—his quirk was overpowered on the warm spring day so it should even out. But all of a sudden, Izuku was stopped short by a touch, featherlight, on the back of his neck.

In a moment, he was taken back five years ago, to high school, the mall, a spot even more populated than this. Shigaraki’s four-fingered hold around his neck. For a moment, Izuku felt it again, the dry skin, the cold hands despite the season and the open-air setting.

But there was no way. Shigaraki and All For One had been defeated five years ago, taking One For All with them. Izuku was here, and maybe he was quirkless again, but he was not useless.

Izuku whipped around, the grip on his neck loose enough that he could swivel out of it, and held his fists up at the ready. No sooner was he in position, ready to plant a right hook, than Katsuki blown into sight, a bare arm suddenly around the newcomer’s neck.

“Kacchan!” Izuku protested. “The ram-headed—”

“Already cuffed ‘im. Only have a minute—he’s for sure a mutant, so those horns aren't going away.” He returned his attention to the woman whose life he held in the crook of his arm. “Now what the fuck are you up to?”

Her thin ponytail that had gotten caught in the pinch of skin between Katsuki’s bicep and forearm, yanking her head backwards, leaving her neck as exposed as Izuku’s had felt in the moment she’d touched his. Her stance was pathetic as she clawed at Katsuki’s arms, trying to free herself without an ounce of strategy. An obvious combat experience level of zero.

“Kacchan, wait!”

Katsuki’s grip loosened just slightly, enough for the young woman to gasp, her voice mangled as she heaved, “Look behind you.”

“Ain’t falling for that,” Katsuki said, but Izuku looked.

All he saw for a moment as he turned around was a man in a suit, like so many of the others who’d been forced to run from the scene. Only this man wasn’t leaving—he was crouched, perhaps to tie his shoe, revealing a thinning spot of hair on the back of his head. Deku was about to turn back, thinking that he’d just been tricked by the oldest line in the book when an angry wail came from the ground beside him.

There on the sidewalk, blessedly past the worst of the debris, was a pink, nearly purple, wriggling, and very upset baby.

“Please, let me go!”

“Deku?”

“Let her go—get back,” Izuku said, but his attention had shifted. 

Sirens registered dimly in Izuku’s mind, Katsuki’s explosions too as he left the young woman to run for her life. But all those sounds were deadened against the wailing of the tiny thing naked on the ground. Its gristle-like umbilical cord was still attached, linked to something dark and gory beside it. But there were certainly no other signs of birth, much less anything resembling a mother. Just the businessman.

“Is…” that your baby, Izuku was about to ask, but of course it wasn’t. This was a newborn. Clean and dry, but otherwise as fresh from the womb as if it had been delivered there at the crime scene. Instead, he said, “Excuse me, sir, I’ll handle it.”

The man hesitated before bumbling out an, “Are—Are you sure?”

“I’m sure,” Izuku insisted, stepping forward. “Now please, get to safety.”

Finally, the man backed away and Izuku moved swiftly. He tossed off one glove and tore off the other with his teeth as he crouched down, risking a bit of dirt and broken glass on his tongue. Better him than this little infant. His reflexive medical knowledge kicking in, Izuku ripped open an alcohol sanitizer pad and wiped his hands vigorously. Every moment longer it took for the alcohol to evaporate was a critical one for this baby. How long had it—he, at least supposedly, Izuku surmised from the visible genitalia—been here on the sidewalk?

Izuku pocketed the pad and reached for the baby, his hands suddenly shaky. He was trained in tying tourniquets, staunching wounds, CPR—even baby CPR. But Recovery Girl’s medical classes had never taught him how to hold a baby. The little guy was wiggling, hopefully not moving too much against the coarse sidewalk or, god forbid, any shrapnel from the fight. Izuku moved down close.

“Don’t worry,” he said through a hero’s smile. “I am here, little baby. I’ll save you.”

As Izuku reached down, delicately placing his fingertips right against the baby’s sides, he was hesitant to touch any part of the sidewalk, even in order to wriggle his fingers a little further beneath the tiny body. He didn’t want to touch any glass or contagions, or press even the tiniest pebble into the baby’s tender body. His skin was so soft, the exact opposite of the weathered calluses and scars of Izuku’s hands. Even the press of Izuku’s fingers, gnarled and trained for violence, but trying to get a grip, might leave a bruise. 

He finally had the baby scooped in his arms, not pressing him too close to his chest, untrusting of his costume after having been strewn through the street. The placenta, bloody and oddly warm, was on the baby’s stomach. 

“I will definitely save you,” Izuku said again, his eyes darting from the baby’s wriggling limbs, to his screwed shut eyes, to that flash of verdant hair. “I’ll protect you, little baby.”

It was then that he realized that the baby’s hair was a dark, mossy green.

Izuku blinked. The baby’s skin was flush with color, nothing resembling anything Izuku had ever seen on himself, outside of maybe when he’d been a kid tying string around his fingertips, watching them swell with blood, purple and pulsing. But that hair…

Izuku shook his head and stood, turning in a half circle to survey the scene; he was alone. The young woman was gone, as well as the baby’s would-be benefactor. But Izuku was attuned to Katsuki’s voice in the distance, and coming closer. 

A rush of air blew Izuku’s hair into his eyes, and he turned his shoulder to the wind, shielding the baby from it, nearly missing the ram-headed villain running past him. Adrenaline shot down the veins in Izuku’s legs, which bent automatically at the knee, ready to run at full speed after the villain.

But he couldn’t.

Katsuki was already on the villain’s heels yet again, blasting up the avenue with explosions that made the baby in Izuku’s arms wail. “What’re you waiting for?” he shouted as he came in line with Izuku. There was a moment of silence between explosions and Katsuki landed on the ground. “Bastard ripped right through the goddamn cuffs—let’s fucking…”

It was then that Katsuki noticed the screaming baby in Izuku’s arms, and he took a step forward.

“Deku, what the—”

“Go!” Deku insisted, his voice quiet as he bounced the baby in his arms. “Win to save!”

Katsuki blinked once, but didn’t hesitate a moment more. “Save to fucking win—fine!”

He sprinted a few steps down the block before he was airborne again. As the explosions grew quieter, Katsuki hopefully gaining on the villain, Izuku looked back down at the bundle he was holding. The wailing had stopped, the baby’s gummy mouth closing to a pout as he wriggled, settling in Izuku’s awkward hold.

Walking to the hospital would take fifteen minutes at best for Izuku these days. Fifteen minutes seemed far too long for something so tiny, so fragile.

But the police cars were still there. And they’d stay if Deku hurried. He clicked the button to unmute his earpiece. “Hold a car for Hero Deku, direct to hospital.”

When Deku heard the copy, he began walking in the direction Katsuki had come from as fast as he could manage, allowing a little pulse into his arms as he carried his tender little bundle. 

“Don’t worry, little baby,” Izuku murmured, unable to take his eyes off the tiny thing. “I gotcha. I know you don’t know anything about heroes yet. But when you’re with a hero, little baby, you’re safe. I promise.”

The squad car’s door was open when Izuku made it to the scene where their villain was supposed to be carted up, ready to be transported for rehabilitation. The street glittered with glass, the sun, just after noon according to Izuku’s watch, was overtop all the skyscrapers so that every little piece of debris caught its light, sending blinding refractions wherever Izuku looked. There were even more upturned cars—the villain’s favorite move, it seemed—and light fixtures bent and twisted where they were meant to stand tall over the sidewalk. Izuku didn’t know whether the villain hadn’t been cuffed easily, or if this had been the result of his escape. Without him, now just the lone car remained and Izuku hurried towards it.

“The nearest hospital,” Izuku directed again as he crawled in the barred back, minding every little jostle of the baby.

No further instruction was needed. The sirens went off, bleating just above their heads as Izuku shifted the baby to just one hand, buckling his seatbelt. Not to be outdone by the wailing squadcar, the baby screwed up his face, those chubby cheeks pushing wider than they already were, and started crying.

“Hush, baby, hush,” Izuku cooed as the car began moving. Despite the crying and the sirens just overhead, the crunch of the tires treading over the bits of material that made city life—glass, metal, concrete—still resonated. 

Izuku continued bouncing, and slowly, the baby’s cries began to fade away again. Maybe he was getting used to the loud noise above them, or maybe something else had been troubling the tiny, little guy. Izuku brushed his hot tears away with his thumbs—with his fingers spread wide, he could reach nearly every edge of the baby. Perhaps comforted by the motion, the baby finally blinked his eyes open, squinting quite a bit between blinks, but gazing soulfully, if a bit cross-eyed, up at Izuku. Izuku’s already constricted chest grew tighter, as if held in the tiniest grip of a baby’s fist.

This little baby, with his shock of green hair piled thinly on his head, had startling eyes. They were red. Red from tears, red from screaming, red around the rim, and red encircling those dark, newly-seeing pupils. A red of fire, of rage, of love. A red Izuku had seen nearly every day in his twenty-one years of life. 

They blinked closed again, but the color burned in Izuku’s mind’s eye.

Izuku swallowed, his throat dry, but he was unable to reach any of his pockets for the gels he kept on hand to drink. As the hospital rolled into view, he pushed all thoughts away and bounced the baby faster in his arms, murmuring almost unthinkingly:

“We’ll save you, baby. We’ll  definitely save you.”

The trip was only a few minutes long, the streets having been all but cleared due to the nearby villain threat, but Izuku spent all of it in a daze. He only became aware of their arrival when the police officer mentioned it with a tone that informed Izuku that he’d already wasted precious moments. 

Izuku nearly stumbled getting himself out of the squad car. As he righted himself, he looked down frantically—the baby was still sleeping. He hoped, prayed that it was a good sign. That if something were wrong, the baby would let him know, right? Minding his movements, he threw a thank you over his shoulder and made it as quickly inside as he could.

“A baby!” he nearly shouted, peering wildly for the triage nurse. When his eyes landed on one, he hastened that way. “A-A newborn baby!”

A quirk baby is what he didn’t say, what he didn’t dare say until someone confirmed it. Perhaps there were tests for these sorts of things—Izuku didn’t know the first thing about it. He always tried to gather more information about quirks, of course, including babies, but this, he…He was entirely out of his depth. He was running on instinct and had no clue what he was doing.

“Indeed there is!” the nurse said, holding out their arms in such a way that reminded Izuku that they knew what they were doing. They knew how to hold a baby. So he handed the little guy over, placenta and all—which made the nurse’s eyes go wide when they noticed. Things went quickly from there. 

“He was outside,” Izuku informed firmly, focusing on what he knew as he followed the nurse, “on the ground of a crime scene. He was crying for a while, so his breathing should be fine. I didn’t get a close look, but there don’t appear to be lacerations. My costume isn’t clean, though, but I tried not to touch him with anything but my hands. After sanitizing.”

“You did well, hero,” the nurse said as they entered an elevator. It moved quickly, compressing Izuku’s joints for just a moment as they leapt up numerous stories. Then they were on the floor and Izuku was once again trailing behind. “You’ll have a room—scrubs will be set out momentarily for you to change into. I recommend taking a shower, and use the soap generously. After some tests, we’ll bring your son right back to you for skin to skin. Ah, this room should be good.”

The nurse efficiently ushered Izuku into a hospital room, saying again that someone would be by with scrubs momentarily. Then she was gone, baby and all, and he was alone. He was still blinking down the hallway when a set of scrubs were pressed into his hands.

That turned him on autopilot. He found himself in the shower, with water that was tepid at best pouring over him. The bits of metal that had never fallen from his skin and out the looser pant bottoms of his newest costume tinkled to the tile floor, hurting like legos underfoot until the water swept them away. Thin lines screamed across his calves—scratches from the remnants of the faux-Fa Jin device, some deeper than others. They stung against the water and burned under the unscented soap that Izuku mindlessly lathered over his body. It bubbled up across his body hair before sliding easily down the drain. He was nearly clean when he remembered exactly what the nurse had said. We’ll bring your son right back to you.

Who is Captain Future?

New Post has been published on https://esonetwork.com/who-is-captain-future/

Who is Captain Future?

The Big Bang Theory

This month (for me, anyways) has been all about Captain Future. I have been living, breathing, eating and sleeping Edmond Hamilton’s pulp era science fiction hero.

But who is Captain Future? Popular in his hey day, the 1940’s, the final decade of the pulp magazines, today he is an obscure character, encountered by the younger generation either through an almost equally as obscure Japanese Anime series or through the medium of the sit-com The Big Bang Theory as a somewhat prominent poster on display in Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment.

None of which answers the question: Who is Captain Future?

For that answer I turn to the Hugo award winning science fiction writer Allen M. Steele.

Cover art by Earle K. Bergey

“Captain Future is a creation of Edmond Hamilton,” says Steele. “The legend is that in 1939 at the World Science Fiction Convention the publisher of Startling Stories, Mort Wesinger, went to the convention in New York city and was so impressed by the turnout and the enthusiasm of the fans that, on the spot, he announced that they were going to create a new magazine called Captain Future.”

The actual story is a little more complicated than that, Allen explains. “By the time the World Science Fiction convention rolled around Better Publications had already decided that they wanted to publish a ‘hero’ pulp to compete with Doc Savage and The Shadow and The Avenger and other characters who were very popular at that time.”

Weisinger had come up with a character he called Mister Future who was the world’s smartest man and had this huge head. He lived on top of a skyscraper and he had an alien being named Otho who lived in his ring. He took his idea to science fiction writer Edmond Hamilton.

“Hamilton said: No this isn’t going to do, so he borrowed a little bit of Doc Savage and a little bit of Batman and various other creations that were out there and he came up with something entirely new. That was Captain Future.” Steele explains.

Cover art by Tommy Pocket

“The first issue appeared in late 1939. It was a quarterly magazine and Hamilton wrote all but three adventures. It lasted until the mid-1940’s and, like so many other pulps, was killed off by the wartime paper crunch. Some more adventures were published in Startling Stories for a couple of issues after that. Then he went away for a while. The series was briefly revived in 1950 as a series of short novellas, again, in Startling Stories.”

The character went away again in 1951. “They said: It’s going to go on a short hiatus,” Steele explains. “And that hiatus ended up lasting until I revived the character a few years ago. Basically Captain Future is a spacegoing version of Doc Savage. Doc Savage was an early predecessor to James Bond and a lot of other characters. He’s a troubleshooter. He’s a hero. Hamilton’s version of the character had him being a super scientist.

“He’s an adventurer, and he has this weird cast of characters, the Futuremen. They go about the solar system righting wrongs, protecting the common man and fighting the good fight. This is something that attracted me a great deal when I read those adventures when I was a kid.”

Cover art by M. D. Jackson

So much so, that Steele took over the mantle from Edmond Hamilton and began writing new adventures featuring the pulp hero. “One of the first Captain Future novels I read was Outlaws of the Moon. My first Captain Future, Avengers of the Moon, was very much an homage to that particular title.”

Avengers of the Moon was published by Tor Books in 2017. For Steele it was a dream come true and one he wanted to continue. Unfortunately the editor who signed off on the project died. His replacement was not as interested in continuing with the series.

Fortunately Steve Davidson and his Experimenter Publishing Company, picked up the idea. Steve, the publisher behind the revival of Amazing Stories Magazine, has been releasing a series of novels under his Amazing Selects imprint, and Allen Steele’s Captain Future novels are among those releases.

Illustration by H. W. Wessolowski

The books are fully illustrated, much like the Captain Future novels from the original pulp run. This is where I come in.

The second Captain Future novel began with a longer story called Captain Future in Love. It was serialized over two issues and I was fortunate enough to be tasked with producing the cover art for the second issue.

The story was re-printed by Amazing Selects, followed by the next two instalments of an overarching story. The Guns of Pluto continued the story as does the sequel, 1500 Light Years from Home. Both books feature black and white illustrations.

Illustration by M. D. Jackson

This, for me, has been an incredible opportunity to pick up where pulp artists Earle K. Bergey who painted the covers, and Hans Waldemar Wessolowski, credited as H. W. Wessolowski (also sometimes simply as as “Wesso”) who drew the interior illustrations. As a life long fan of the pulp magazines, this is obviously a dream assignment.

I have completed the illustrations for 1500 Light Years from Home and the book is scheduled to be released sometime in the next month. I am hoping to be involved in the fourth and concluding instalment which will be released either later this year or early 2022.

But there was to be an unexpected bonus this month. I had got wind that a magazine, The Pulp Fan, was on the lookout for artists to provide portraits of pulp characters. I contacted the publisher, Jim Main and asked if there was anything that I could do. He suggested that I could paint a portrait of Captain Future.

This was the icing on an already delicious cake. The Allen Steele Captain Future books have been “updated”. The science has been brought into line with what we know now about the solar system. Steele didn’t want to have the setting be the “quaint” one that Edmond Hamilton had created. Just as his stories reflected the science as it was understood at the time, so does Allen Steele’s Captain Future. So that the illustrations will not look dated or out of place in the 21st century, I adapted a similar esthetic.

This, then, for Pulp Fan was a chance to present Captain Future as he was back in the 1940’s, anachronisms and all. I am working on it was we speak and, I have to tell you, I am having a heck of a lot of fun with it.

The Pulp Fan issue #3 will be available soon from Main Enterprises.

Allen Steele’s Captain Future: 1500 Light Years from Home will be available from Amazing Selects. You can find that and his other Captain Future Books here.

Gary Null’s Show Notes

12 15 22 P

If you listen to Gary’s show, you know that he begins with the latest findings in natural approaches to health and nutrition. Here we make some of those findings available each weekday to subscribers to the Gary Null Newsletter.

Could green vegetables boost efficacy of omega-3 supplements?

One-minute bursts of activity during daily tasks could prolong your life, says study

Scientists discover that CoQ10 can program cancer cells to self-destruct

New research links common sweetener with anxiety

Adding yoga to regular exercise found to improve cardiovascular health and well-being

Meta-analysis affirms association of calcium supplementation with improved serum lipids

Could green vegetables boost efficacy of omega-3 supplements?

University of California at Davis, December 3, 2022

Pairing omega-3 supplements with a diet rich in dark green vegetables may boost omega-3 levels in red blood cells, suggests new data that raises 'an intriguing and unexpected hypothesis'.

Scientists from the University of California, Davis and the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service report that consuming at least 0.3 cups per day of dark-green vegetable in combination with omega-3 supplements could help African Americans obtain an Omega-3 Index of about 8%, said to be the ideal for optimal health.

“Therefore, to assess the broader implications of these findings, it will be critical to determine how robust low dark-green vegetable intake is in predicting a low omega-3 FA supplementation response phenotype and to further determine if a person’s response phenotype can be altered by a change in dietary patterns,” they wrote.

“If supported, one could envisage a situation in which particular doses of omega-3 FAs could be recommended along with complementary guidelines (e.g., portions and types of vegetables to be consumed) on the basis of an individual’s basal red blood cell EPA concentrations and an assessment of habitual dietary patterns. 

The California-based scientists analysed data from a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 83 people of African ancestry who were randomly assigned to receive either omega-3 supplements (2 g EPA + 1 g DHA) or corn/soybean oil (placebo) for six weeks.

The high responders were found to have greater reductions in triglycerides and VLDL particle sizes.

A separate association between dark-green vegetables consumption the efficacy of omega-3 supplements was observed.

The researchers also indicated a role for the gut microflora, noting that food rich in plant fiber and polyphenolics are known to influence the composition of the microbes in the gut, and some bacterial strains can influence how we metabolize lipids.

“Taken together, these findings suggest that diets rich in dark-green vegetable may modulate gut microbiota and in turn influence fatty acid availability and cellular composition in humans. Additional studies will be needed to determine whether an integrative network linking habitual dietary patterns, gut microbiota, and [omega-3] metabolism is a plausible biologic mechanism.”

One-minute bursts of activity during daily tasks could prolong your life, says study

University of Sydney, December 8, 2022

In good news for those who don't like playing sport or going to the gym, new research finds just three to four one-minute bursts of huffing and puffing during daily tasks is associated with large reductions in the risk of premature death, particularly from cardiovascular disease.

Published in Nature Medicine, the study is led by the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Center in Australia. It is the first to accurately measure the health benefits of what researchers have termed "vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity" or VILPA.

VILPA is the very short bouts of vigorous activity (up to one to two minutes) we do with gusto each day, like running for the bus, bursts of power walking while doing errands or playing high-energy games with the kids. 

The researchers found that just three to four one-minute bouts of VILPA every day is associated with up to 40 percent reduction in all-cause and cancer-related mortality, and up to a 49 percent reduction in death related to cardiovascular disease. 

"Upping the intensity of daily activities requires no time commitment, no preparation, no club memberships, no special skills. It simply involves stepping up the pace while walking or doing the housework with a bit more energy," he said.

What did they discover about exercise as part of daily life?

About 89 percent of all participants did some VILPA.

Among those who did VILPA: 

93 percent of all VILPA bouts last up to 1 minute.

On average each day participants did eight VILPA bouts of up to 1 minute each, totalling 6 minutes a day.

On average each VILPA bout lasted around 45 seconds. 

The steepest gains were seen when comparing those with around four to five bouts per day to those with no VILPA.

However, larger benefits were found with larger VILPA amounts, suggesting the more the better. 

The maximum of 11 bouts per day was associated with a 65 percent reduction in cardiovascular death risk and 49 percent reduction in cancer-related death risk, compared to no VILPA. 

Scientists discover that CoQ10 can program cancer cells to self-destruct

University of Miami,  December 6, 2022

It has been 60 years since the discovery of CoQ10, a vitamin-like substance first identified by Nobel Prize-winning scientist Frederick Crane. Currently used to help treat heart disease, CoQ10 may have even more therapeutic benefits to offer – especially for cancer patients.

A promising study shows that this nutrient causes cancer cells to self-destruct before they can multiply – giving rise to hopes that it can be utilized as an important integrative therapy for cancer patients. 

Researchers have found that CoQ10 is vital in producing adenosine triphosphate, the “energy molecule” (ATP).  In addition, it is a potent antioxidant that boosts immune health and energy.

But CoQ10 may have an even more important function to perform. Researchers report that the out-of-control replication characteristic of cancer cells is a result of the cells’ lost capacity to respond to programmed cell death, or apoptosis. 

To conduct the study, researchers at the University of Miami added CoQ10 to prostate cancer cells – and found a 70 percent inhibition in growth over 48 hours, along with a reversal in the anti-apoptotic protein bcl-2. Adding CoQ10 to breast cancer cells also inhibited proliferation, without harming healthy cells.

The team noted that treating a culture of melanoma cells with CoQ10 resulted in the death of all cancer cells within hours – and that applying CoQ10 topically to mice with melanoma tumors caused a 55 percent reduction in tumor mass. There was also a “profound disruption” of tumor vasculature – the structure of veins needed by tumors for oxygen and nutrition.

Researchers have also examined CoQ10’s ability to help prevent damaging side effects from chemotherapy drugs such as tamoxifen, used to treat breast cancer.

Researchers agree that decreased CoQ10 levels are associated with poor health, with low levels seen in cancer patients and those with other chronic illnesses. Moreover, many scientists believe that having low levels of CoQ10 can damage cell DNA.

Foods rich in CoQ10 include cold-water, oily fish such as sardines and mackerel. Liver, peanuts and whole grains are also good sources.  But, because dietary intake isn’t always sufficient, supplementation may be advisable – especially for aging adults, breast cancer patients, and people taking statin drugs.

New research links common sweetener with anxiety

Florida State University, December 8, 2022

Florida State University College of Medicine researchers have linked aspartame, an artificial sweetener found in nearly 5,000 diet foods and drinks, to anxiety-like behavior in mice.

Along with producing anxiety in the mice who consumed aspartame, the effects extended up to two generations from the males exposed to the sweetener. The study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

"What this study is showing is we need to look back at the environmental factors, because what we see today is not only what's happening today, but what happened two generations ago and maybe even longer," said co-author Pradeep Bhide, the Jim and Betty Ann Rodgers Eminent Scholar Chair of Developmental Neuroscience in the Department of Biomedical Sciences.

The study came about, in part, because of previous research from the Bhide Lab on the transgenerational effects of nicotine on mice. The research showed temporary—or epigenetic—changes in mice sperm cells. Unlike genetic changes (mutations), epigenetic changes are reversible and don't change the DNA sequence; however, they can change how the body reads a DNA sequence.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved aspartame as a sweetener in 1981. Today, nearly 5,000 metric tons are produced each year. When consumed, aspartame becomes aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol, all of which can have potent effects on the central nervous system.

Adding yoga to regular exercise found to improve cardiovascular health and well-being

Laval University (Queebc), December 8, 2022

A three-month pilot study of patients with hypertension appearing in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology demonstrates that adding yoga to a regular exercise training regimen supports cardiovascular health and well-being and is more effective than stretching exercises. Incorporation of yoga reduced systolic blood pressure and resting heart rate and improved 10-year cardiovascular risk.

"The aim of this pilot study was to determine whether the addition of yoga to a regular exercise training regimen reduces cardiovascular risk," explained lead investigator Paul Poirier, MD, Ph.D., Quebec Heart and Lung Institute—Laval University, and Faculty of Pharmacy, Laval University, Quebec, Canada. 

Investigators recruited 60 individuals with previously diagnosed high blood pressure and metabolic syndrome for an exercise training program. Over the 3-month intervention regimen, participants were divided into 2 groups, which performed 15 minutes of either structured yoga or stretching in addition to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise training 5 times weekly.

Blood pressure, anthropometry, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), glucose and lipids levels as well as the Framingham and Reynolds Risk Scores were measured. At baseline, there was no difference between groups in age, sex, smoking rates, body mass index (BMI), resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure, resting heart rate and pulse pressure.

After 3 months, there was a decrease in resting systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate in both groups. However, systolic blood pressure was reduced by 10 mmHg with yoga vs 4 mmHg with stretching. The yoga approach also reduced resting heart rate and 10-year cardiovascular risk assessed using Reynold's Risk score.

"This study provides evidence for an additional non-pharmacologic therapy option for cardiovascular risk reduction and blood pressure control in patients with high blood pressure, in the setting of a primary prevention exercise program," noted Dr. Poirier. 

Meta-analysis affirms association of calcium supplementation with improved serum lipids

Xuzhou Medical Univ (China) December 2, 2022

A meta-analysis published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing concluded that supplementing with calcium with or without the addition of vitamin D was associated with a reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. 

“Most (80%) lipid disorders can be treated with diet modification and exercise, and lifestyle interventions have been recommended as a primary intervention strategy among individuals with dyslipidemia,” write Chunlan Chen of Xuzhou Medical University and colleagues in their introduction to the article. 

“The potential role that dietary intake by nutritional supplements may have on lipid disorders, however, has not been well studied.”

For their analysis, the researchers selected 22 randomized controlled trials that included a total of 4,071 participants who received a placebo or calcium with or without vitamin D. Studies were limited to those that provided information concerning changes in lipids following treatment.

On average, calcium supplementation lowered LDL cholesterol by 4.64 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) and raised HDL by 1.93 mg/dL. The results were found to be consistent across calcium supplementation duration and vitamin D supplementation status.

In their discussion of the findings, the authors note that low calcium diets can elevate circulating calcitrophic hormones that promote the influx of calcium ions into fat cells and increase lipid storage. Increasing calcium intake suppresses these hormones, resulting in a reduction in stored lipids.

Man Utd have the perfect player to take Mason Greenwood’s No 11 shirt if exit happens

Man Utd have the perfect player to take Mason Greenwood’s No 11 shirt if exit happens Manchester United remains uncertain about Mason Greenwood's future, even though charges against him were dropped five months ago. The English player might permanently leave the club, as his last appearance for them was in January 2022. In the event of his departure, Alejandro Garnacho could potentially inherit the No. 11 jersey. Following the dropped charges in February, Mason Greenwood is now able to resume his football career. However, Manchester United is still in the process of conducting an investigation and has not yet made a final decision on the player's future. Greenwood has resumed training and expressed his eagerness to continue his football career. Nonetheless, it remains uncertain whether he will return to Old Trafford. Although not as renowned as the No. 7 jersey, the No. 11 holds significance within the Manchester United community. The No. 11 jersey holds significant history as it was previously worn by Ryan Giggs, who achieved great success with 13 league titles and two Champions League trophies before retiring in 2014. If Mason Greenwood departs, the jersey will be available for another Manchester United player to claim. Antony, who previously wore the No. 11 jersey at Ajax before joining United a year ago, may be interested in taking it. However, Alejandro Garnacho could be a more suitable choice due to his immense potential and impressive performance in the previous season. The 19-year-old excelled under Erik ten Hag, contributing five goals and nine assists across various competitions. Despite his hopes of wearing the No. 7 jersey, Alejandro Garnacho missed out as it was assigned to new signing Mason Mount. Consequently, the No. 11 would serve as a suitable alternative for him. Garnacho shares similarities with Ryan Giggs, being a skillful and intelligent winger with speed and trickery. Some even believed that Garnacho should have started in the recent FA Cup final loss against Manchester City, ahead of Jadon Sancho. Manchester United recognizes Garnacho's immense potential and believes he can reach even greater heights during his tenure at the club. Alejandro Garnacho has demonstrated his commitment to Manchester United by signing a new contract before the season concluded. Assigning him the No. 11 jersey would serve as an incentive, boosting the confidence of the talented young player. On the other hand, Gabriel Agbonlahor, in a conversation with talkSPORT, expressed doubt about Mason Greenwood's future at Manchester United, stating that he does not envision the English player representing the club again. “I don’t think he will play in the Premier League again,” he said. “I think his reputation is damaged at Manchester United and England, I do think he will play on again in a different country, a different league. “And that’s down to them clubs, their managers and their owners if they decide to sign Mason Greenwood. “But I do feel living in England, being at football games, seeing what fans are like at games, I can’t see him going out there and playing for Manchester United again.” He continued: “I think for the owners as well, he’s an asset, he’s probably an £80million asset. “A very good player, talented, 21, what are they saying about it? Do they want to sell their asset? “It’s definitely something difficult to talk about, but for me, I can’t see in the next couple of years, him playing in the Premier League, I just can’t see it.” Man Utd have the perfect player to take Mason Greenwood’s No 11 shirt if exit happens Read the full article

[bottomlouisficfest]

Hello, Bottom Louis Fic Fest 2022 writers!

We know that some of our participating writers are seasoned professionals and have posted fics many times before, but we also know that there are some first-time writers participating in this year’s fest. That’s why we want to ensure that everyone knows exactly how to post their fic to our collection on AO3, how to post to Tumblr and Twitter, and how the posting schedule will work.

All Writers: Please Read

Fics should be submitted to the Bottom Louis Fic Fest 2022 collection by September 18, 2022 by 10AM ET. You may submit your fic now if is already ready.

You will be assigned a posting date and time by email by midnight ET on September 18, 2022.

Please include your prompt somewhere on AO3 - either in your summary, your beginning notes, or your end notes if you’d like to avoid spoiling the fic.

On Tumblr and Twitter, we recommend scheduling your photoset with the fic information and link so it will go up exactly at your assigned date and time.

Please tag us in your fic posts on Tumblr (@bottomlouisficfest) and Twitter (@BLFicFest).

Your fic must remain public on AO3 until the fest is complete.

The photoset/visual and link to your fic will be posted to both Tumblr and Twitter, either by you or by the BLFF. We will determine who is posting what through email.

Information About the Posting Schedule:

On September 18, after your fic has been submitted to the collection, you will receive an email from the BLFF assigning you a posting date and time. At that point, we will have a good idea of how many fics we will have, which means the mods of the fest will be able to determine what the posting schedule will be in terms of number of fics per day and frequency.

We will try to create a schedule that ensures variation in fic length and topic (for example, avoiding putting four A/B/O fics in a row or three long fics in a row) to help keep things interesting and manageable for readers. If you have any issue with your posting date or time, you can let us know and we can work with you to figure out a solution or move the date.

Instructions on Posting to AO3, Tumblr, and Twitter: 

If you’re new to posting any of these places, please read on.

Posting to AO3:

Step 1: Sign into AO3.

Step 2: Click or hover over “Post” in the upper right corner of your screen.

Step 3: Click “New Work.”

Step 4: Fill out all the basic information for your fic.

Rating: Choose a rating for your fic. Since all fics for the Bottom Louis fic fest will have smut, we’d suggest that your fic be rated either Mature or Explicit. Mature is more appropriate for fics with less graphic smut, whereas Explicit is more appropriate for fics with more graphic smut.

Archive Warnings: If you have any serious warnings that need to be issued for your fic (such as graphic violence, major character death, or rape), please select them here. If none of those more extreme warnings apply to your fic, we’d recommend selecting No Archive Warnings Apply.

Fandoms: Please type and then select One Direction (Band). If your fic involves a crossover with another fandom, you can also add those here.

Categories: Though not required, we’d recommend selecting M/M (for a male/male pairing) and any other pairings that apply to your fic.

Relationships: Though not required, this is where you should enter the relationships that are featured in your fic. For example, you can put Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson or Zayn Malik/Louis Tomlinson. You may enter as many pairings as you have in your fic.

Characters: Though not required, if you would like, this is where you can enter the names of all or most of the characters that are featured in your fic.

Additional Tags: Though not required, we’d highly recommend using tags to your advantage, as many people search through AO3 tags to find new fics to read and therefore may be more likely to stumble on your fic. You can enter tags related to tropes that are featured in your fic (e.g. Enemies to Lovers, Fake Relationship), descriptions of the type of sexual content that may be involved (e.g. Rimming, Bottom Louis), any additional warnings, and any other details that you think might draw people to your fic. If you need more tag ideas, feel free to ask the BLFF mods off anon or scroll through other fics on AO3 for inspiration.

Step 5: Fill out the Preface information for your fic.

Work Title: This is where you will put the title of your fic.

Summary: This is where you will put the summary of your fic.

Notes: Although this is optional, you may want to add notes at the beginning and/or end of your fic. Notes at the beginning might further explain any tags or warnings, provide any context that will help people understand your fic, or tell people what prompt your fic is based on. Notes at the end of the fic might request kudos and comments, link to your Tumblr and/or Twitter accounts, link to your photosets so people can reblog or RT, inform people what prompt you wrote your fic based on, or thank people for reading. We highly recommend linking to your fic’s photosets in the end notes.

Step 6: Fill out the Associations information for your fic.

Post to Collections/Challenges: This is how you will add your fic to the collection. Our collection is Bottom Louis Fic Fest 2022. If you need further assistance adding your fic to the collection, please contact us.

This work has multiple chapters: If your fic has multiple chapters, select this box.

Set a different publication date: Although you can ignore this when you first submit your fic to the collection, on your assigned posting date (you cannot do it ahead of the date), you will want to check this box and change your publication date to that posting date. More information on this in Step 11 below or here.

Choose a Language: Be sure that English is selected.

Step 7: Fill out the Privacy information for your fic.

Only show your work to registered users: For this fest, please make sure your fic is public at least until all the fics are posted so that more people can read your fic.

Disable anonymous commenting: If you only want users with accounts to comment on this fic, select this box. Please note that this may decrease the number of comments you receive on your fic.

Enable comment moderation: If you would like to approve comments before they are posted on your fic, select this box.

Step 8: Enter your work text. If your fic will have multiple chapters, this is where you will enter the text from chapter one. We recommend copying and pasting your fic text into Rich Text (make sure Rich Text is selected at the upper right corner above the box). If you need a guide to HTML on AO3, check here. If you’ve found that copying and pasting your fic text into AO3 created extra spaces, there’s help on fixing that here.

Step 9: Post your fic (or preview it first, if that makes you more comfortable, and then post). Your fic is now officially part of the collection and will be revealed on your posting date. You will be able to edit your fic as necessary before it is made revealed, so don’t fret if you find typos or anything that you would like to add before your posting date.

Step 10: On September 18, 2022 by midnight ET, you will be notified of your posting date and time by email. If you have an issue with that posting date and time for any reason, please let us know.

Step 11: On your posting date, please change the posting date of your fic from the day you submitted it to your assigned posting date. This will ensure that your fic is moved to the most recently posted fics on AO3, which will help more people see it. For more information on changing your posting date, click here.

Step 12: On your assigned posting day and time, the BLFF mods will reveal your fic. You will then be permitted to post your photoset/visual to Tumblr and Twitter, or the BLFF will post it for you. There is more information on that process below.

Posting Your Photoset/Visual to Tumblr on Your Assigned Posting Date:

Note: If you don’t use Tumblr, the BLFF will do this for you. We will confirm whether you or the BLFF will be posting your fic to Tumblr when we email you your assigned posting date for the fest on September 18, 2022.

Step 1: Start a photo post on Tumblr. We’d highly recommend doing this on desktop instead of on mobile because often posting photos from mobile can mess with the formatting.

Step 2: Add your photoset/visual to the post, either as one large image (if it’s in that form) or as separate photos and arrange them to your liking.

Step 3: In the text body of the post, include any relevant details about your fic.

Our suggestion would be to include:

Title:

Rating:

Word Count:

Summary:

A link to your fic (we suggest making the title of the fic into a link)

A mention that you wrote this fic for the @bottomlouisficfest (please tag us!)

You can also include any relevant warnings (which should also be tagged or mentioned on AO3) or the number of chapters if it’s a chaptered fic (e.g. Chapters: 8/8) if you want to.

Step 4: In the tags of the post, be sure to tag any relevant blogs that might reblog it (e.g. @bottomlouisficfest, @blouisparadise, @hlupdate, @trackinghome, @1dficvillage) so that it’s easier to find. Please be sure to tag blogs within the first five tags of your post so they will be able to see it in their tag. The BLFF blog and BLP will be reblogging all of the fics at least twice.

Step 5: At your assigned time and posting date, you may post your photoset/visual post to Tumblr. We highly recommend scheduling your post to go up so it goes up automatically. To schedule a post on Tumblr, find the button where you would click Post, click the arrow next to it, and select Schedule. Be sure to keep time zones in mind to ensure that you’re scheduling the post to go up at the correct time in ET (Eastern Time).

Once you’ve posted your photoset or moodboard to Tumblr on your posting day, the BLFF blog and @blouisparadise will reblog it and help spread the word.

Posting Your Photoset/Visual to Twitter on Your Assigned Posting Date:

Note: If you don’t use Twitter, the BLFF will do this for you. We will confirm whether you or the BLFF will be posting your fic to Twitter when we email you about your posting date for the fest on September 18, 2022.

Step 1: Create a tweet to promote your fic. We’d recommend including:

Your photoset/visual

A link to your fic on AO3

A mention that your wrote the fic is for @BLFicFest (please tag us!)

Step 2: Post this tweet at your assigned time on your assigned posting date. If you are not available to post it at that exact time, you can schedule it using Twitter on a computer. To schedule a tweet, go to write a tweet as normal and find the small calendar and clock icon (this icon is furthest to the right) below the tweet box. This will allow you to select a date and time for your tweet to be posted. Be sure to keep time zones in mind to ensure that you’re scheduling the post to go up at the correct time in ET (Eastern Time).

The BLFF Twitter account and the BLP Twitter account will both RT it once it is up.

And there you have it! Your fic will officially be posted and a part of the BLFF 2022. We’re so proud of you and excited to read your fic!

After he left the spy service, Steele supplied the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation with information on corruption at FIFA, international soccer's governing body. It was his work on corruption in international soccer that lent credence to his reporting on Trump's entanglements in Russia, U.S. officials said on Wednesday. Emails seen by Reuters indicate that, in the summer of 2010, members of a New York-based FBI squad assigned to investigate "Eurasian Organized Crime" met Steele in London to discuss allegations of possible corruption in FIFA, the Zurich, Switzerland-based body that also organizes the World Cup tournament. People familiar with Steele's activities said his London-based company, Orbis Business Intelligence, was hired by the Football Association (FA), England's domestic soccer governing body, to investigate FIFA. At the time, the FA was hoping to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cups. British corporate records show that Orbis was formed in March 2009. Amid a swirl of corruption allegations, the 2018 World Cup was awarded to Moscow and Qatar was chosen to host the 2022 competition. The FBI squad whose members met Steele subsequently opened a major investigation into alleged soccer corruption that led to dozens of U.S. indictments, including those of prominent international soccer officials. Senior FIFA officials, including long-time president Sepp Blatter, were forced to resign.
