WIP Wednesday

Tagged by @hippolotamus, @eddiediaztho, @disasterbuckdiaz, @forthewolves, @giddyupbuck @fortheloveofbuddie @wikiangela and @daffi-990 Thank you all so much! You all so amazing and I look forward to all of your upcoming works! Go check them out!

Ya'll I have been riding on an ecstatic high since Sunday. Not only did my Kansas City Chief's win, they blew out the Chicago Bears. And to top it all off, my favorite player Travis Kelce, who I have been a huge fan of for years (long before Taylor Swift, before the super bowl wins, and before Patrick Mahomes) got T-Swift to come to a game and freaking broke the internet. I have loved every moment and I am just so elated about it all. So to keep with the trend of the NFL, here is NFL Buck... and his leg injury.

They didn’t even make it to half time and Christopher never showed his touchdown dance to his grandparents. Midway through the second quarter, linebacker Jayon Brown sideswiped the left tackle, leaving him free and with a direct shot to the quarterback. Just as Buckley was releasing the ball for a pass to the endzone to DeAndre Hopkins, Brown tackled him, knocking his throw off and allowing Adoree Jackson to intercept it. Brown swears up and down to this day, the tackle was clean, but deeply regrets the damage that came from it. What he doesn’t tell anyone but those closest to him; he heard and felt Evan Buckley’s leg break under him and when he got back to the sideline, he puked his guts behind the bench. Evan’s cries of pain were barely heard over the roar of the crowd celebrating the pick and it took a short moment for anyone to notice that the Texan’s quarterback had not gotten back up.  Right tackle Kendall Lamm was the first to notice Buckley’s injury and frantically waved over the training staff. He would go on to tell the press, “Buckley is a tough son of a bitch and to hear that sort of anguish coming from him, I knew something was wrong.” Then when asked about the injury the large offensive lineman would pale slightly, “Legs aren't supposed go that way, but I ain’t no doctor and we can only pray Evan comes back from this.”

The amount of research that has gone into the section is crazy. All players besides Buck are real players on those teams at that time. The interception actually occurred in the 2nd quarter of that game, but I'm putting the whole broken leg twist into there. If you have any questions about the NFL or American football in general please shoot me a message. Hope you all enjoyed! Go Chiefs!

4. Witches Are Meant to Burn: Sculpted

On Patreon | First | Previous

=-=

The trip was the usual, train for the first part, carriage for the second, and walking for the last, the terrain was often steep. It normally would be just plain tiring. It was just plain tiring until we got close to the library, then it was tiring and so hot. I’ll need to decrease the number of coats in my wardrobe while I’m here. Everyone was really excited the whole time, I was more exhausted than anything. I didn’t have time to rest, though, soon I was seated at the big circular table in this overly bright room made yesterday just so this meeting could be held.

Oh right! I should introduce myself, it’s late I know but I’m not used to stepping out of my field, and in my field, everyone (to who I talk) already knows me. I’m Professor Ernestine Ruos-Aliene de Patry, an etymologist as you must have guessed. Well, I study several fields but whenever I have to keep it short I boil it down to etymology.

I work mostly at Jitarin Academy, however, I don't work for Jutarin Academy, it’s more like, they help me get resources for projects and I earn them renown, this relationship had been working for several years now, and after I got into the group of people that chose who will work on what the academy began to accept any request of mine.

The meeting was going on as lively as usual,  I tried to ignore slight nausea I was feeling for about half an hour already. Maybe I shouldn’t have joined Tina on her unhealthy meals earlier today. I hope Hector has medicine on him because the closest apothecary is over 500 kilometers on foot plus thirty minutes on horse from here and none of my students would like to go there now.

On the bright side, The Podium Library was just two kilometers away. Getting to the library will be a pain, though. One thing that I learned from studying history is how much the ancient people on this continent loved caves. They aren’t good economically speaking, it’s not every one that has enough tourist value to attract that many people, they do not help merchants and business between different places, but caves are natural and (sometimes) habitable, many villages were built around some agglomeration of small caves, and only when these were all occupated that they would go to build buildings. There are many theories of why. I myself wrote a couple of books on how the demonization of the new and the changes caused the fear of the effect of the hands of god had on the hands of fate were related to so many caves being used as the starting point of most cities, but what is relevant now is that, as expected of someplace from the Fog Age, the Podium Library was underground.

“Is the ground really stable?” Professor Viane Ji-Dober asked, someone had to, the library had been evacuated just an hour ago due to the risk of a cave-in, not that something had happened, not knowing if something will happen was the issue. “We are talking about dozens of academics here, so we must be sure if it’s safe or not so we can get the Acceptance Of Risk papers ready.”

“Although the entrance broke down, the ground and structure seem fine,” Markus Virtus —Portia’s representative— said while tapping his fingers on his left hand.

“We need more than seems fine,” Professor Gione Petar said, “Will you take responsibility if the centuries-old archives are damaged? Do you have any idea how important this place is?”

“I know how much-”

“Oh no, you do not.”

“Professor Gione, that’s enough. We don’t need to talk about how important is to be sure the library is safe, we obviously needed to be sure before letting everyone in, —” I glared at him, the very one who put his students in the library before knowing it was safe “—What we need to talk is why it has been two days and a proper team wasn’t called yet.”

“You get here late and want to complain about the decision we made in your absence? You don’t have the right to complain!” Professor Jayon Bullar snapped.

“I have if you are being an idiot!”

“Idiot? You are suggesting we send a group of brute people who know nothing about what they are putting their hand on down there because of what? Because you are scared of a possible cave-in? It survived centuries! Why would it break now?”

“I swear for the hands of god that if you truly think that’s how-”

“Can we… uh… calm down?” Markus tried, “If one of you goes with the team it’ll be fine, right? Any… volunteer?”

I glanced around at the mostly old and out-of-shape people that formed that group, none of which are fit to go with the team down the library. No one volunteered, of course, and sending a student was out of question (unless you are Gione Petar, but he doesn’t count). Well, we’ll be here for a long time, aren’t we?

“Why are you so grumpy?” Lucas asked after I told them how the meeting went. “You’ll get to see the library before them! That’s luck!”

“Yeah, join our risk measuring team down to a maybe-instable-maybe-not ancient cave is the best definition of lucky!” I said, rolling my eyes. “Did I tell you they decided on the shorter stick?”

“yes you t-”

“Who makes this kind of decision on the shorter stick?!”

“Someone who spent years studying the saying “witches are meant to burn” is asking why they let this important decision up to luck?” Tina asked, raising her eyes brown.

“Fair.”

“When are you going?” June asked.

“Tomorrow morning, after eating some proper food, and resting a bit,” I answered, Hector had the medicine, all I needed now was to join June for meals instead of Tina.

“Time for them to get the Acceptance Of Risk form ready and for the team to arrive,” Sandra commented.

“Yeah, if they had it ready they would try sending me down there today.”

“Why is everyone here an egg?” Tina asked.

“Why do you call people eggs?” Sandra asked. Wrong question.

“Don’t ask.” Me, June, and Luca said at the same time. “Tina no.”

Tina obviously ignored us. “So, do you know about the primordial soup…”

I sighed. This, too, would take a while.

Soon (or kind of) it was morning, the night was hot, and no one told me this place would be so hot. But apart from this, it was a good night of sleep. We had slept in a tent about one kilometer away from the entrance of the library. The terrain was mostly rocks, steep rocks, but luckily we had found enough plain areas to camp on, the groups did have to be somewhat far away from each other, though. If the cave is safe we’ll certainly move into the library. I know I’ll.

I was nervous, but it wasn’t my first rodeo. We had all the equipment to made it as safe as possible, and I had a whole team who actually knew what they were doing with me. So I took a deep breath and started. 

The cave was pretty I’ll give it that. The entrance was small and hard to go by, the first part didn’t seem to be changed much, if at all, from its natural formation. The team was really patient in helping me down on the harder and narrower parts, none of them let it out that it was annoying to have someone slowing them down.

As soon as we got deeper inside the walls changed. The dark reddish walls were more and more gray, and smother. It was to the point the ground became totally plain and the wall formed are perfect semicircle over our hands. I hadn’t arrived at the library yet, but I knew it was from the last part of the Fog Age, near the end. You can tell by the changes on the walls, you see, ancient people wouldn’t change it like this. They wouldn’t mold the place in fear of the disasters it would bring.

“It probably had an actual entrance,” I commented. “Leading out, the path we came from isn’t the same they used to take back then.”

“I hope you are not planning on breaking the walls or something,” the team leader, Maliane, said, showing how much she trust us.

“I can’t say you don’t want to, but we won’t actually do something this stupid.”

Maliane nodded, but it was clear that she didn’t believe me.

“You meet Gione, right? Short, thin, angry.” I asked.

“... yes.”

Yeah. She has a reason not to trust us.

“This is the entrance,” the young woman leading us said, gesturing to a cube hole in the walls, each side had two meters. If one didn’t look closely one would think it’s just a cube carved into the cave wall.

The entrance was hidden, we had to walk into this dark cube to access this, also dark, narrow pathway. Twenty meters in, and going right was the actual library’s entrance. We lit the place up, but our flashlights weren’t enough to show everything so the team started attaching lights on the floor.

Two bronze doors were fallen down, five meters tall and about half of it wide. Looking closely it was ten centimeters thick. It was hard to tell just yet if this was for aesthetic purposes or if they wanted this library to be out of reach this much. As the place became brighter the craving on the doors was more visible, the details were shaped like processed jewels, just like Gione’s students had told. I would take a closer look later, but at that moment there was something more important than the drawing on a door.

I glanced at the now partially lighted-up library. It was… amazing. There were so many books, I know it’s a library, but it’s from Fog Age. We know barely a thing about that time and it’s like life handed down this much data as a gift. The bookshelves also drew my attention, they aren’t built, they were sculpted. Everything I could see was connected, it was as if that place was never a natural cave, maybe this whole large library was sculpted.

“We’ll start,” the team leader said, I didn’t really care much about how they were going to check the library. I knew part of the team was outside and I knew everyone was caring tools, but my only whole in there was to let them know if they are damaging some ancient thing they shouldn’t touch, so I could take my time to look around without a problem.

I thought I could take my time to look around without a problem. I realized I was wrong the second I stepped into the library.

au thought: gods should be more powerful. The 6 gods should be able to destroy a planet if they so desire

[titanfan8]

For the month of June i have chosen defensive line and linebackers as the Titans position group to look back on….

In the first round of 1999 NFL Draft the Titans signed DE Jevon Kearse who went on to win NFL defensive rookie of the year and had 14.5 sacks a rookie record that still stands.

As far as i'm concerned and i bet a whole lot of Titans diehards feel the same way there has never been a better linebacker that played here besides Keith Bulluck.

Bulluck was drafted in the year 2000 and played an entire decade for the Titans.

The team has had some good linebackers through the years but none quite as good as Bulluck.

The 2000 Titans defense was first in yards allowed,second in points allowed and third in rushing defense.

In 2000 the same year Bulluck was drafted the Titans brought in Randall Godfrey in free agency from Dallas.

Godfrey ended up playing in Tennessee for three seasons and played well here.

In 2001 DE Kevin Carter signed with the Titans in free agency.....

In the first round of the 2002 NFL Draft the Titans drafted DT Albert Haynesworth.

Rocky Boiman and Rocky Calmus were drafted in 2002 as well.

In 2002 the Titans had were 10th in yards allowed.

In 2002 and 2003 Titans had the NFL best run defense mainly because of Kevin Carter and Albert Haynesworth.

Kevin Carter played four seasons with Titans and racked up 23.5 sacks.

In 2004 the Titans drafted DE's Travis LaBoy and Antwan Odom as well as DT Randy Starks.

In 2005 the Titans signed Kyle Vanden Bosch in free agency.

Boiman played four seasons for the Titans before signing with Indy in free agency in 2006.

In 2006 David Thornton signed with Tennessee in free agency.....

In 2006 in the fourth round the Titans drafted Stephen Tulluch who played every game and played well during his four years in Tennessee.

In 2007 and 2008 the Titans defense were top ten in nearly every category including run and pass defense as well as yards and points allowed.

In 2007 Tony Brown begins his first full season with the Titans and was previously with 49ers.

In 2008 the Titans drafted DEs Jason Jones and William Hayes.....

In 2009 in the second round drafted SenDerrick Marks and in fourth round the drafted Gerald McRath and he played three seasons.

Never seen one defensive player cause as much disruption and devastation to opposing offenses like Haynesworth did in 2007 and 2008 he was truly dominant.

Haynesworth played his last season in Tennessee before leaving in free agency and becoming the first 100 million dollar defensive tackle.

With Titans Big Al had 272 combined tackles,60 tackles for losses,42 QB hits,24 sacks,20 passes defended,6 forced fumbles,3 recoveries.

In 2009 Keith Bulluck played his last season for the Titans.

Bulluck with Titans had 1078 combined tackles,61 tackles for losses,18 sacks,19 INTs,15 forced fumbles,12 recoveries and scored 6 TDs.

Vanden Bosch also played his last season for Titans in 2009 and in five years had 270 combined tackles,82 QB hits,47 tackles for losses,38.5 sacks,14 forced fumbles,3 recoveries.

In 2010 DE Derrick Morgan was drafted in first round.

2010 Titans sign Jason Babin and Will Witherspoon in free agency.

Babin has 12.5 sacks in 2010 for the Titans....

In 2011 the Titans drafted DT Jurrell Casey in the third round.

In the 5th round in 2011 the Titans drafted the scrappy DT Karl Klug and he played six seasons for Tennessee.

Akeem Ayers was drafted by Tennessee in the second round in 2011.

In 2012 the Titans drafted Zach Brown in the second round.

In 2014 Wesley Woodyard was signed in free agency......

In 2014 Titans drafted DaQuan Jones.

Avery Williamson was drafted in the fifth round by Tennessee in 2014.

In 2015 Brian Orakpo was signed in free agency by Tennessee.

Jayon Brown was drafted in fifth round in 2017 by Titans.

In 2018 the Titans drafted ILB Rashaan Evans in the first round and OLB Harold Landry in the second round.

In 2018 Titans were 3rd in points allowed and 8th in yards allowed....

In 2019 the Titans drafted Jeffery Simmons in first round of NFL Draft.

In 2019 Tennessee drafted David Long in sixth round.

Long played four seasons with Tennessee before leaving for Miami in free agency in 2023.

In 2021 DE Denico Autry was brought in free agency.

Around this time Jurrell Casey retired.

Casey in his career with Titans had 493 combined tackles,115 QB hits,84 tackles for losses,51 sacks,8 forced fumbles,5 recoveries.

In 2021 Titans were 6th in points allowed by defense.

The 2023 Titans are celebrating their 25th anniversary and it been a long but exciting journey from 1999 through the present day.

I would take a closer look later, but at that moment there was something more important than the drawing on a door.

I glanced at the now partially lighted-up library. It was… amazing. There were so many books, I know it’s a library, but it’s from Fog Age. We know barely a thing about that time and it’s like life handed down this much data as a gift. The bookshelves also drew my attention, they haven’t been built, they were sculpted. Everything I could see was connected, it was as if that place was never a natural cave, maybe this whole large library was sculpted.

“We’ll start,” the team leader said. I didn’t really care much about how they were going to check the library. I knew part of the team was outside and I knew everyone was carrying tools, but my only role in there was to let them know if they were damaging some ancient thing they shouldn’t touch, so I could take my time to look around without a problem.

I thought I could take my time to look around without a problem. I realized I was wrong the second I stepped into the library.
