#lance vs drake

[alolanrain]

Some comedy for the Lance vs Drake stuff, mostly when it comes to trying to punish Ash when he goes too far (in his younger years):

Lance, who has helped his clan raise many children: Okay Ash, you are going to sit here and listen to me lecture you. Ash: Ugh, seriously?

Drake, who has no idea how to raise a child: Okay you know what, you're in time out! Get on top of the fridge! Get up there! Ash, actually getting on the fridge: This apprenticeship is a f--king nightmare!

i feel like with how Ash's life has been so far, Drake's approach of punishment is more effective than Lance's. especially since Ash has most likely been yelled/sternly talked to by a hundred and one adults that it all just blends as white noise for Ash.

[dailyjsa]

Welcome to DailyJSA's JSA Member Tournament!

Sixty four enter, one takes the crown!

These are characters who were either explicitly stated to be members of the JSA, or very involved with the team to the point that they're basically a member (mainly applies to Thunderbolt). Some are in a grey area due to retcons (such as Hippolyta) or were barely involved with the team, but they still count. Batman, Wonder Woman (Diana), Superman, and Robin have been excluded from this tournament to give other less popular characters a fair chance.

These initial matchups were made with a randomizer to be as fair as possible.

Each week, a round of polls will be posted. All polls will be a week long.

Since there are so many matchups to start, Round One will be split into two parts. The matchups are below the cut for those who may have trouble reading the bracket.

[star-stable-tournaments]

Have you ever thought to yourself: Yee howdy, I wish I could know what everyone thinks of my favorite character, and I also wish we could all definitively rank them in popularity based on the whims of the public? Then do I have the thing for you!

Right out the gate, it's time to vote for favorite characters. The votes for favorite NPC (human) and favorite NPC (other) will be running alongside each other, with the vote for NPC (other) starting a little later to make them both finish at the same time and end in an epic dual victory.

I have chosen to split them up because there's a lot of NPC's and we can expedite the process somewhat by having separate tournaments running alongside each other.

Humanoid creatures such as Pandorians residing in the circus will be counted as humans because that's how they choose to present and I will respect that.

Certain conditions apply regarding characters added to SSO just to host races, NPC's that are named but do not take part in quests, and characters from earlier games. these characters will not partake because the list is so. long. already.

Every poll will be accompanied by a picture and a brief description to refresh your memory, so don't worry if you can't remember them just by name! If you have any concerns or can't see your favorite NPC anywhere, send a message or an ask.

The first NPC (human) tournamnet will take place over 3 sessions of 40 posts per week, because it's 120 posts and I don't want to overwhelm you with that many posts. Once we've narrowed it down to 60 favorites it will be split into 2 sessions, and once we've only got 30 contestants left, I'll post them all in one go until a winner is declared. That's also when the NPC (other) polls will be posted.

Who will go up against who is randomized and can be found under the cut.

There were no changes to the overall standings for singles wrestlers this week, and with 250 poll results, I think it's pretty unlikely we'll get a lot of movement in the future. I'm removing them from the wrap-up posts to save you guys some scrolling unless there is a change to the rankings.

The rankings for the three CM Punk polls thus far are:

Regular CM Punk - 67.9% smash (and 527 total votes!)

Straight Edge Society CM Punk - 62.7%

Ring of Honor CM Punk - 59.7%

You folks narrowly prefer Danhausen in facepaint (68.8% smash) to nakedface Donovan Danhausen (66.9%) And you strongly prefer SANADA without the blond hair and beard (69.7% smash vs 52.4% smash).

Apologies for being so late this week. No real excuse, just tired. The next wrap-up will also be late because I'm going out of town. If I'm not exhausted from traveling, I'll post on Monday. I have polls queued until then so the smashing and passing will continue.

And now for some of my favorite tags and comment

@cheveuxroux on Lance Archer: #saw him up close and can confirm he's very handsome in person#he has great skin which is a really weird thing to say about a wrestler

@heelhausen on Straight Edge Society CM Punk: #he has a messiah complex and brother I will be the devil tempting him after forty days and nights in the desert

@regalityandcoffee on Straight Edge Society CM Punk: #smash but im sitting on his face so he cant lecture me

@lghockey on Brody King: #this big meaty man can slap my meat lmfao

writing5novelsatonce on Blond Beard SANADA: #the only thing I want to do to this iteration of Sanada is put a deep moisturizing mask into that fried hair and that crispy beard

[alolanrain]

There are two major one-v-ones going on in TA!Ash’s life and it’s LanceVsDrake and OakVsRowan.

He gets the latter news by Gary bc he lives with Rowan and the old man has a very bad habit about not keeping the doors close, not like he doesn’t jam it open whenever he and Oak are in some kind of communication bc Rowan bitches so loud about even a simple email, and Gary is the biggest sluttiest whore for gossip so he’s basically eating popcorn IN THE DAMN DOORWAY while the two are on call. He then gets a call from Oak not even five minutes later who complains about Rowan and and other shit. Not knowing that Gary has put him on speakerphone and is trying not to lose his shit by watching Rowan trying to not lose his shit.

It takes all of Rowan’s Marine Corps training not to launch physically over his desk and grab the phone away from his assistant-pseudo-son/grandson and give the older coot a true piece of his kind. The kind he keeps specifically out of the lab and office and the one that drags Ash and Gary behind him like ducklings despite all his faux annoyance.

Ash gets the first through strongly worded emails and letters from Lance about Drake and vise versa, truly just spark notes, while getting the full version from literature everyone else that those two work with them. Gripping about this and that and some letters are over exaggerated (Lorelei, Will, and Karen) and are fucking novel length that Ash gets to read in class and trying his best not to lose his shit. Doing so far his own amusement since Alola doesn’t seem to have those cringy porn books that grandmas and old women read where the mc is named fucking Passion or something equal as that.

In others are very appreciative easily readable yet detailed recounts (Bruno and Koga) that Ash reads while replying back to Lance and Drake so he can accurately both dish shit in Proper Adult Shit Talking Through Legal Wording And Other Shit and his own insults. Absolutely somehow pouring more gasoline on this petty unnecessary bonfire without being figured out by both Champions.

Then there’s fucking Agatha who’s just talking shit about EVERYONE and Ash truly means everyone. She, Opal from Galar, Watson and Blaine from Hoenn, Ramos and Wulfric rom Kalos, Crasher Wake from Sinnoh, Drayden in Unova. She has the whole fucking squad of grandparents and old gossip mongers.

Ash has totally used this both in favor and as blackmail for certain people (cough cough Drayden cough cough) and it’s gained him both a lot of shit from the younger league members but also that sweet delicious Next Heir legality bullshit. Yeah, that’s right, Ash had enough shit with Iris. She is the only human friend that has reached the same level of attitude with any legendary in his life. Even Gary isn’t even on this level somehow. He doesn’t know what really is his problem, maybe it’s just from the kid thing and it’s Ash’s Achilles heel that he has to fight every time he’s around her in any moment, or it’s something much deeper in himself about himself. Regardless, Ash dared Drayden to a super drunk game of poker. “To make it even” Ash says and he’s been hyping the man up only to attack his ego out of nowhere.

He did this entire thing that he will never regret, it’s now Iris’s Achilles Heel but she doesn’t know it. Only Ash and Drayden will know and Drayden doesn’t give a shit enough about that because whatever he had wasn’t going to Iris anyways. It was going straight to the funds of the Dragon Town they both grown up it. Dragons donated to other well trained handlers picked by generations of high end expensive privileges right. It’s the least Drayden owes to the people who raised him and his Pokémon that caught by his side, it’s what he believes is right. Again, Iris doesn’t know this. She’s completely blind and the only other motherfucker that knows is ASH.

fucking Opal and Agatha adore him and their one of THE oldest and longest league members in current history. They have caught wars and diplomatically weave between these occultists and rich fucks with such a wave of awe and wisdom but also cuttingly mean and grouchy as an art, their teaching Ash through these letters and Ash gets to use it towards GLADION and also other people like Hala, who kinda fucking scares him and makes Ash’s fights senses go off then most and it’s a struggle, and he’s THRIVING!

Sometimes he uses it against Kukui and he also squirms away in such a older sibling act it’s hilarious and makes Ash do it more. He sometimes Chases Kukui down the halls if their like super late, almost into the damn night when everyone has gone. Kukui’s the Professor, by law he has every right to enter a classroom that he is teaching since he works such odd hours for the actual region of Alola too. The INL got his ass as well, y’all.

He uses it against Faba in such a cold rage and it’s absolutely murmurous. The class is genuinely scared while Lillie is either in the front to the back of the group or in the way back where no only is really look at her with eyes gleaming of awe and admiration a little sister would hold for a bigger brother. She has her moment of disgust, they just come a lot later down the line. Ash does it whenever the man is in sight.

Colress is… weird. He knows Ash, remembers him and the fear he had when he snapped the moment Pikachu became obsessed. Knocking out his friends with aura before going absolutely batshit insane for the first time. If he thought his anger towards Arceus’s was anything it was nothing compared for his friends safety. Iris and Cilan came too to the room not painted in red but in the Pokémon center. Ash had claimed what had happened and left them in the care of the Nurse Joy before watching his friend be healed by whatever the chosen Pokémon was in Unova.

Colress had survived, somehow. He’s now in Alola and Ash genuinely doesn’t feel about that. He’s about to start the forgiveness journey for Archie and Maxie who genuinely seem like better adults. In truth to put it plainly they were adults who just really really cared about what they love to the point it ruined them both emotionally and physically in ways, Ash hated it. It was the one thing keeping him from being able for a wound to at least freshly scab over. It likely wont last a while but it’ll give Ash some fond memories to look back on at least.

Lusamine is a mix. Sometimes it cold anger like Colress but less awkwardly when Colress genuinely doesn’t remember why he’s scared of Ash, it’s just another weakness towards his anger management issues, and others times it’s hot raging I’m going to fucking kill you verbally and actually make it possible anger. Mostly when it’s Lillie though the most violent moment was when the three tried to take Nebby away. He’s genuinely polite at first, since this is still Lusamine, Lillie’s mother and they never met and Lillie hasn’t said anything against her, until Lillie defends Ash and someone calls him a little kid despite being fucking 23 and a world wide known trainer due to your own popularity standing in the world. Like he doesn’t constantly rub shoulders with the big guys both in regional leagues and the INL. He could ruin her life but he waits for Lillie’s command.

It doesn’t come and Ash defaults to the cold. He’s used to cold. Rose was cold, Kanto and Johto chairmen are cold-a special little case for just the orange isles and good chunk of Unova gym leaders. Ingo adores Ash, even though Emmets only met him like thrice, and basically leans into the time with the kid.

This totally doesn’t give Ash the GREATEST thing to share with Gary so much that it’s still blowing his mind because it worked. Rowan was a cold lifeless bastard and, much like Captain Holt and his husband Kevin Cozner, he needed just the same style but softer. It was like the one true untainted good thing that came out of Unova. Ash and Gary love their step-dad and always referring to him behind their backs while still calling Rowan either Gunney or Rowan. He doesn’t get the Professor privilege because they’ve seen him in his boxers in his silver Fox glory, absolutely REVOLTING to them, and also sobered on by all kinds of Pokémon. He’s also Muks second favorite person.

But back to Lillie and she’s trying so hard to stand up for herself and she is genuinely letting her anger get to her for once. Ash is so fucking proud and he viciously backs her up. Proving Lillie right and watching the anger and a little bit of precious’s control over her little princess precious daughter. She has Eevee know, shiny little bugger with big blue golden eyes. He calls her Faker, like Shadow to Sonic, and also Things 2 other twin. He lovers her just as he’s equally as protective over Lillie.

It’s hard to find to love people now, that’s why he’s so close to Gary despite everything and Rowan and Ingo who fucking stepped up and helped in ways they could.

It’s easier to be protective, he’s gotten it down to a science that it looks like love but in such a brotherly way. It’s he he vibes with everyone and it’s just the small right side of annoyance. Of course unlike your Paul or Trip, Paul’s been redeemed slightly but Trips still a swing on sight yell later asshole.

Hala is a special case as religion is deeply imbedded and cherished amongst native Alolans and Ash must walk on egg shells somehow near the man. He’s one of the very few people who set off his flight side, the only other two were Cyrus and Lysander. The only two for world domination and got so damn close. Team rocket doesn’t count anymore since they’ve dwindled so much due to Ash, he’s a world hero for that alone dammit. Alola is just so far off from the main land that despite deep connection to the other professor’s despite the work force society rules Kukui still doesn’t know because he wasn’t there to help with the disaster relief the majority did.

Just because he gets special Grandchild Abilities regardless of who openly seethes at him in public without hesitation, also because Ash wouldn’t be able to get his monthly amusement in league and INL paperwork.

Eugene Fitzherbert would love the 2017 Drake Mallard as Darkwing Duck concept and the guy himself. Just - he really loves cheesy puns, presentation, classic swashbuckling and hero vs villain narratives. Once he got over the “anthro duck man” thing, he’d gleefully listen to Drake’s talk about TV shows, role models, and dramatic entrances.

Drake, on the other hand...Eugene’s a friendly guy, very good with the wordplay so they’re gonna team up and workshop some standard puns. Probably would like to crack open the Flynnigan Rider series for himself. Happy to have a “genre-savvy” guy on the good side of the law.

But Drake would probably see Eugene’s treasured collection of Flynn Rider posters and go “I don’t like that guy. Just - he disappeared? No trace? The Best Thief - nearly married into a Mob Dynasty? I’m finding this Flynn Rider if it’s the last thing I do.” He tracks down Lance and they have a beautiful interview.

All the while Eugene is just - going from panicked to exasperated to kind of touched that his new friend would go to such lengths.
