Are you descended from Wat Tyler? In any event unless it is tongue and cheek considering all the other targets you could go after why hold onto a grudge for that long?

I'm not descended from Wat Tyler, I'm descended from someone who worked for him. According to family lore, my ancestor who fought in the Great Peasants' Revolt of 1381 was named Adam Attewell. As it turns out, there is a brief mention of Adam in the historical record that allows us to learn quite a bit about Adam's life.

Adam Attewell was a London butcher - which means we know he was a guildsman - who shows up in the judicial record as someone who during the very earliest days of the Revolt was an emissary from the people of London to the peasantry of Essex, calling on them to rise up in rebellion and promising that London would rise in support. He then seems to have later been "very prominent in the troubles in the capital." This pattern of behavior suggests that Adam was more than likely a member of John Ball's illegal organization known as the Great Society, part of the activist core that supported Wat Tyler's uprising from the beginning.

After Wat Tyler and his rebel forces seized the city of London, burning John of Gaunt's Savoy palace and seizing the Tower of London, they forced King Richard II into negotiations that revolved around a few key points:

the abolition of serfdom.

equality before the law.

redistribution of Church property to the people.

a purge of evil councilors from the King's councils, most notably including John of Gaunt's conservative faction.

a general amnesty for all rebels.

When William Walworth murdered Wat Tyler at Smithfield and then turned the London militia against Tyler's horrified supporters, he enabled King Richard II to abrogate all of his concessions and promises to the revolutionaries. This included the amnesty for rebels - John Ball would be drawn and quartered in King Richard's presence, royal troops would be sent out to suppress the later rising in the North of England and hunt down any rebel leaders who escaped the massacre in London - so it's an ominous sign that my ancestor's mention in the historical record comes from the "Essex indictments and the Sheriff's reports."

While I consider RIchard II to be an odious oath-breaking tyrant, on June 15th 1381, the king was utterly a broken and spent political force driven into total capitulation. It was William Walworth's use of murder and military repression that shattered the leadership of the Great Peasants' Revolt and allowed the royal government to organize a successful counter-revolution.

So that's why I include William Walworth on my list, for single-handidly setting back the cause of freedom and equality in England for several hundred years and facilitating the probable execution of my ancestor for treason against the crown.

DELVING AND SPANNING

“When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman?” —John Ball This question was the inspiration for this drawing. It’s from a sermon (or several) by John Ball who was an English heretic priest active and eventually hanged, drawn, and quartered in the middle 1300s. It continues: “From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust…

Numa pequena comunidade, um indivíduo é encontrado e a polícia apressa-se a resolver o problema e detêm um negro que se encontrava na estação de comboios.

Na esquadra, sem qualquer prova de acusação, descobrem que o negro é afinal um destacado agente de homicídios e fica encarregue de ajudar a dissolver aquele caso. O negro representa a justiça enquanto a esquadra demonstra-se inapta para aquele tipo de acontecimentos, e disponível para encobrir a justiça e proteger interesses instalados.

Uma boa companhia cinematográfica, com boas interpretações de Sidney Poitier e Rod Steiger.

DPx DC AU: Danny learns that he can change his summoning ritual and decides to go chaos mode with it i.e. A viral tiktok trend.

Danny ascends the throne and it's honestly pretty alright as far as new jobs go. He states a few opinions, makes sure no one goes to war and is slowly integrating a community service sentence to Walker's prison. It's not a bad gig, and considering the troves of gold he's now owner of, it doesn't pay too shabby either.

His main problem with the job isn't even his constituents (he likes to think they would vote for him over pariah), it's all these loony death cults! They keep summoning him with Pariah's old cold sign and it's driving him insane- After a very unhelpful smirk by CW, a long study session in GW's library and some help from Ember (she knows drama like no one else) Danny finally has a new summoning ritual.

Of course he swapped out the blood and bone for like, sour gummies and random shit he had in his backpack at the time. A TI-84. And yes, the Latin chant is that one super-fast bit of Rap God preformed to a BTS dance at speed.

But rather than keep this to himself, he gets Sam (who has a thriving plant and protest community following) to record her completing this ritual and Danny being summoned. Why? Cause it was a very specific to Sam skill that they didn't know if people could replicate and it gives Danny some plausible deniability that he tried to make it difficult when CW asks.

Posting it makes it very quickly go viral as people attempt to call it fraudulent but sure enough, Danny is now traveling the world at a moments notice.

Which is great cause it's summer and he's bored in Amity anyway (He's going to change it before he starts university in September, duh), and its even better because the second a lame ass death cult brings him forward to, like, destroy the planet, a slumber party or influencer has already summoned him away. Shit, he even met a few celebrities this way! Plus, turns out that most death cultists aren't able to rap!

Reality hit him pretty hard when he got summoned to an office space that is clearly a base of operations and the summoning spell locked him in. Literally, he has no idea how to get out of this binding spell- Danny definitely hadn't realized that was an option. Taking in the Justice League members in front of him, plus one trench coated menace, Danny groaned for a moment before thinking to ask:

"Wait- Which one of you was able to do Rap God? And the dance? Please tell me someone thought to film that!!"
