Good Omens, staying skeptical, and the mystery and the lie at the heart of Gravity Falls
Tumblr media
-Neil Gaiman, 29 June 2023
I recently came across this post by @apathetic-revenant, which goes into extensive detail about a whole secret meta lie generated by Alex Hirsch, creator and head writer of Gravity Falls, midway through the show.
It went like this: the show was very focused on mysteries, codes, ciphers, etc, and early on a character discovered a mysterious journal with an unknown author, and this drove the plot. There were clues placed in the show so that people could solve the journal author's identity, or more probably so that it would all make sense in hindsight after the big reveal. However, the show ended up with a larger-than-expected fandom who started organizing online in a way the creators hadn't expected or planned for, and they were worried everyone would collectively solve the mystery too easily, too soon, and the suspense and appeal of the story gradually unfolding would be lost.
So they took a fake BTS photo that appeared to reveal the journal's author and "leaked" it online. To give it credibility, the show's creator posted "Fuming right now" and then deleted the post soon after, once they were certain it had been seen and screenshots taken. The Gravity Falls fandom then stopped trying to solve the mystery, as they believed the answer had already been revealed. It was a solution "targeted toward delaying that group problem-solving, without actually affecting the experience of any individual person watching the show."
Ok, Good Omens fandom. Are we Gravity Falls all over again? Are we also experiencing meta lies?
Is it possible that Amazon's marketing department has just released a new promotional video about Aziraphale & Crowley's "timeline of interconnectedness" (discussions here and here ) where they honestly:
got several of those timeline dates wrong, including labeling the entirety of seasons 1 and 2 as belonging to the same year?
mixed all the season 1 and 2 clips together so they're completely interconnected and out of the order they were presented to us so far?
didn't consult with Neil Gaiman for even a moment to be sure they had their facts straight? (Or literally anyone else who's spent years working on it? Or even someone who has just watched it once while paying attention?)
didn't understand the way most series tell a story by moving through time in a realistic linear fashion?
When Neil said today that "time is fine" in response to questions about the timeline of interconnectedness video, was he trying to misdirect the fandom away from the mystery that's clearly hidden throughout both seasons (and especially season 2)?
The Good Place seems suddenly more relevant than I'd imagined:
Tumblr media
Neil has told us that his Tumblr posts aren't canon. He's also said:
"Never trust the storyteller. Only trust the story."
"Writers are liars, my dear, surely you know that by now? And yet, things need not have happened to be true. Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot." -Both quotes are from The Sandman [link]
So here's my plea to whichever part of the fandom might read this: Stay Skeptical. It's wonderful to talk to Neil about his characters, the worlds he's created, his writing process, his views on world events, his sense of humor, his kindness, his compassion and empathy, and his good advice & encouragement for the entire range of the human experience. I respect him very much, and I'm thrilled he's here on social media talking to all of us. (Except he doesn't have social media, obviously. He's like Schrödinger's Social Media Neil-cat.)
I'm looking forward to all the surprises I'm certain are in store for us (and Aziraphale and Crowley) in Good Omens season 3. I trust Neil (and Terry!) to deliver our beloved characters to a very satisfying ending. But I don't trust Neil to honestly answer all of our questions on social media - and neither should you.
Especially not when he's already blamed obvious season 2 changes to the Bentley on the "lighting" (as just one example).
With lots of thanks to the members of the @ineffable-detective-agency - including @bbbitchvibbbez, @kimberleyjean, @maufungi, @noneorother, @theastrophysicistnextdoor, and @thebluestgreen for all their excellent fact-checking, ideas, and discussions!
Interested in diving further into all the Good Omens mysteries? I have more posts plus Clues and metas from all over the fandom, here.

The Cycle
Tumblr media
Author's Notes: After centuries, here I am with another chapter of Ancient Humans AU, I'll keep a better frequency going forward. Thanks to everyone who read the first part!
Disclaimer: This fic is not intended to offend anyone or be sexist, let alone make the reader uncomfortable. It contains exaggerated archetypes and stereotypes for entertainment purposes only, the scientific information is real, and the steps are based on my own or my friends' experiences. Yuu is a girl here. Some swear words at the end….
Characters: Yuu, Professor Wamuro, Jamil, Kalim mentioned, Leona, Ruggie mentioned, Mob Pomefiore, Vil mentioned, Ace and Deuce, Grim, Malleus, Lillia mentioned.
Want to know what happened in the first part?:
Tumblr media
-Now that we have been introduced to the ancient human species, we can look into new branches of more complex content. Going into human biology, we can mention the main and most risky one: the females.- At this moment Wamuro was changing from a renowned professor and strictly serious with references, to a fan of mythology.
Females have a slightly smaller and more curvy body, with the ability to give birth to life and protect the fetus. But that's expected, isn't it? - continued the professor - It was like that with most of us, the mothers who condemned the inheritance of their children, what makes them different you may ask.
Now that we're going to start, in order to have the magnificent ability to give birth, human females undergo a hereditary curse where not only do they bleed for days without any injuries every month of their two lives in order to be in balance, but in order for the cycle of life to continue. they must transform into 4 different people during a single cycle.- students leaned forward, pens ready to take notes and ears ready to listen.
-Let's start on page 20 Mr. Viper, please read it aloud.
“The ancient elders divided and named each process according to the “inner moons”. "The maiden phase" is the first phase of the cycle after bleeding, the pre-ovulatory phase, where the human female feels a lot of energy, productivity and is prone to taking the initiative. Being more willing and physically active. At this stage, it's ideal to take projects off paper and explore new things.” Where did Jamil see this?
“It was about four weeks ago....
When he saw the hard-working prefect of Ramshackle running up and down, full of paper to deliver, she ran so fast she didn't even notice that some papers fell forgotten on the floor.
Jamil sighed, he was on his way to give Kalim a review, in the depths of his heart he felt empathy for Yuu who turned excited when he called her name.
-You seem very busy today, what are these papers?- He gathered the papers and organized them, handing them to Yuu.
-Thank you Jamil! These papers are for Crowley to sign, a new professor, a speaker is coming and we don't even have a place to stay. These are for tomorrow's dorm leaders' meeting, these are the corrected Divus proofs from today's test, this is Trey's list for a new recipe for the upcoming Unbirthday party and…oh it's here! Scarabia's new stable will arrive, for you to sign Jamil!- Yuu spoke so fast that the deputy leader wasn't sure if he had heard right because…
-The approximate date would be for the next month, why will it arrive so quickly? - Suspicious, Jamil squinted as he received the papers. -Yesterday I was reading some documents and as soon as I saw that it was yours I decided to advance, I already spoke with the investors and architects, the elephants' rations will be placed in warehouse 04 so it's better to clean it soon, the new ones will arrive very agitated so already I ordered the tranquilizers too. Oh, another thing. A gift for you Jamil.
It was a strange little box, an “elephant-sized muffler”. How specific, huh.
-I was helping Sam with new loads and he gave me this headset as a bonus, as soon as I saw it I thought of you.
-Why?
-With more elephants, bigger parties and more noise, you should rest too.
-Thank you for your consideration and… what are you wearing?- Jamil finally noticed the outfit Yuu was wearing, a gym outfit and sneakers, all hidden by the uniform's black blazer.
-As soon as I finish here I'm going to train with Jack for a marathon and then Deuce will teach me how to ride a motorcycle, did you know that I always wanted to learn? Anyway, see you later Jamil, take care!
Jamil kept his facade calm, but inside, he tried to understand what happened. Yuu must be very busy today, maybe he'll bring her some warm food later. “
-Next.
-"In the full moon phase, the mother phase, the female is more sensitive, communicative, loving and they feel more attractive and confident. It usually occurs 10 days after menstruation. It is the ideal time to be among friends and family and to intensify social ties.” - The Heartsabull student read obeying Wamuro's quick command, between one nap and another the descriptions led the leader of Savanaclaw, Leona Kingskolar to remember a strange situation from a few days ago…
"Botanical Garden……"
“This was one of those Saturdays where the dreaded Leona Kingskolar would run away from his responsibilities like a lazy kitten in the top of a tree, Ruggie held back from complaining because the money filled his pockets. But their precious nap was interrupted by a sweet melody…
-Tonight love has arrived… .- sang Yuu, in a low tone as if thinking aloud, Leona could let it go, probably she was just doing some quick work and would soon be gone, so he thought. -Yuu, good morning! You're watering my house!- a small green fairy appeared among the bushes that the prefect was watering.
-Good morning Petunia, sorry for the intrusion.
- Oh okay- the little fairy wrung her delicate flower dress to get the excess water out- She really needed a cleaning, dear-
-Good morning girls, what a beautiful day…- an even smaller fairy, and sleepy, comes out of one of the watered flowers and rests on Yuu's shoulders snuggling into his shoulders.
-Oh how cute!
-Good morning, sweetie, where's my kiss?- A talking bird rested on Yuu's shoulders too, pecking lightly at her cheek asking for attention, something that was given without delay.
This attitude sealed the peace rosy world that Yuu had lost, because in seconds….
-I also want!
-Yuu a hug please!
-Yuu a little kiss on the fairy!
The girl without magic found herself on the ground, surrounded by cute creatures and innocent giggles, a sight that disturbed the beatsman's sleep, secretly envy and jealousy made him roll his eyes. With a low roar he jumped out of the tree interrupting the hugs and kisses from the care bears, a sight to behold but Yuu just smiled warmly.
-Oh, Leona? Good morning! We didn't see you there, sorry if we woke you up.
-It's so early in the morning for this kind of problem,- in annoyance, the big cat frowned
-Sorry, it won't happen again, okay?- as she gets up from the floor to greet his “friend” the whinintg animals, sad that their attention has been stolen.
-Tsk..just dont- Yuu quickly approached the beastman and hugged him, an action that caught him off guard, she was always affectionate but her hugs always came at the right time, now, it was like a blanket on a cold day interrupting any kind of of negativity that would dare come out of his mouth
The dreaded and lazy Kingscolar was proud of his image and the care he should have for it, but for a moment, he let himself be carried away by emotions and hugged her back closing his eyes, enjoying a genuine affection from the magic less hervibore, her aura clean soothed him and for a moment, he didn't want it to end. Hey, if anyone asks he can say he was trying to teach the freshman a lesson
-Anyway, I have to go now. Bye everyone, see you later Leona.- Departing from the beastman's arms yuu picked up the watering can and went to do his chores.
-Huh, what a strange herbivore..""
-Next.
“The premenstrual phase, the wich, is marked by hormonal changes and the beginning of an imbalance, it is normal for energies to decrease so that it is focused on preparing the uterus, your personality can become more sensitive when questioning the environment around you and self-charge increases . Period prone to bubbling emotions, so understanding is necessary.”
-Attention attention, now pay close attention that we are entering a more complicated phase, the calm before the storm, or rather, the terror before the storm. Their senses will be sharper, making them easier to provoke. some mythologies indicate the use of chocolates or sweets to maintain calm and well-being, some studies indicate that abdominal pain and discomfort already begin to manifest at this stage.
There was a well-drawn slap mark on the smooth, even skin of the Pomefiore student. He was proud of his effort and results, Vil Schoenheit himself had praised him. So how did he get that slap? Hint: he deserved it.
“It was three days ago...
The day was going to be reasonably good, high score in class, perfect skin, perfect hair but one detail, dirty mouth.
-Take it back, you arrogant bastard.- -Oh, me? I only spoke the truth, little flower.
It was a secret truth in NRC that the magicless student was actually…a girl. Like the one you shouldn't name, she was you know what, something you know what it is. A beautiful girl hiding in a disguise much bigger than her body, with a disguise and androgynous in an abandoned house. That alone would be enough for the prestigious school to find itself in some ethical scandal.
But some just didn't give a shit about those implications, and some discussions led to heavier arguments and uglier fights, "its only use is sitting on the laps of the dormeladers, no wonder it's getting what it wants slut" " just wait until I tell you find alone…” Yuu, as an intelligent and peaceful-sense being normally ignored these childish threats, but today, that Yuu is not in the domains.
-Joshua- cough cough-, I think now I know why you shower yourself with perfume like that… so much shit comes out of her mouth that your ass must be jealous. She's spreading that stench around.
-How dare you little mouse?- Moving closer and closer to her, Joshua at first critical became desperate to clear his ego
-Stay away Joshua, go shower and calm down- the girl covered her nose with her hands, simulating that her scent was strong
-Get ready you bich or I will!….- with his wand raised and aggressively dictating his magic the pomefiore student was about to fire a stench spell at Yuu, but stopped for a moment, “What would Vil Schoenheit do in this situation?” That chang his mind, an elegant exit would be more appropriate. - "You know what, I'm not going to waste my precious magic on scum like you, unlike commoner students without magic, I have a wand to take care of" -Joshua tried his best but couldn't deny that he was as hard-headed as she was, his disgusted face and snobbish posture was what Yuu needed to reach his final point…
-Do me a favor Joushua, stick YOUR FUCKING WAND IN YOUR FUCKING ASS AND RUN THE FUCK OUT YOU DISGRACEFUL KID!
At the moment he knew, he fuck up.
Yuu's smaller body shook with rage as he leapt on top of the handsome student taking him to the ground, letting his fury spill out as his fists slammed and kicked the bigger one, along with some rips in his clothing. Some students arrived to break up the fight, others to watch. He didn't let himself be a victim, he took her off him and started to slap her while she kicked the body on top of hers, a kick in the chest, legs and… aaaah, that hurt. The boys felt empathetic pain.
With this strategically thought out movement, the two separate and some students separate them and lift them off the ground. Josuha was discredited and that someone so low managed to have the audacity to pick a fight with him, some curses here and there, the students managed to hold the two even with difficulty.
-Get lost punk!- Yuu lets go and a well-placed slap was deposited aggressively on his face- One day is the hunt another day the hunter.- Looking furiously at Jousha's purple eyes, Yuu spoke his final sentence and left the hall Accompanied by Deuce and Ace, a monster cat even released blue sparks when Joshua reached for it again.
An intimidating expression stayed on Yuu's face the entire day, ready to attack anyone. But when she saw a cute video of kittens, she cried without a second thought as she devoured a box of chocolates, which soothed her angry womb.""
-I'll read the next one.- Wamuro interrupted enthusiastically.
-"Menstruation"…sorry students, my book doesn't have the last page, it looks like the letters were blurred. Anyway, I'll tell you from my memory and knowledge. - the final pages were so old, but so ancient, that the humidity of the air blurred all the letters, a disappointment for the professor, the book had been one of his first studies when the topic was forbidden, oh how much nostalgia it brought him.
-And finally, the day has arrived, at the end of the cycle the final phase, the crone, the apex of the uterus has arrived. Pains as strong as a heart attack, being forced to get used to this pain, the Females continued their lives normally until bigger crises arrived. Your body's blood starts to gush from its sacred place even though you are not hurt, your body is sore and exhausted from this monthly internal transformation, and in more detail I include: The most common effects of menstruation on the body include; abdominal bloating, fluid retention, mood swings, indisposition, nausea, general malaise, headache, back pain and terrible cramps, being able to squirm for days, in addition to several other unknown and very dangerous symptoms, but all for a purpose : generate a life.
The ancient females were, of course, great warriors.- the master concluded
This lecture caught everyone's attention, so much so that it attracted Malleus and Lillia to study. The most excellent professor Wamuro had explained that these "ancient humans" no longer exist, but the heir to the thrones could not help but notice the similarities between the ancient race and his beloved Child of Man, the prefect of Ramcharkle, and now that he has learned about the blood curse he is more worried about than ever. Oh, if only he had known sooner!
“The night before...
The young Master Malleus was wandering through the ruins around the school, when, instinctively, his footsteps led him to A Ramcharkle Dorm, his favorite place. Perhaps the mayor is still awake for an exploration together.
Upon reaching the courtyard, he couldn't detect Yuu's presence at the door…nor in the kitchen…but from the living room he noticed drops of blood, on the sofa, on the stairs… and in the bathroom. pain, warm cloths that Malleus assumed would stop the blood, a hemorrhage. As he analyzed strange packaged blood pads, was it a “first aid kit?” Since he found out that Yuu was actually a girl, he was careful and kept an eye out for any danger to the magic-less student, who knows what the horrible NRC students would do with that information. His fear started to show when he didn't listen. nor his feline companion, their meows and tantrums would be disturbing him now for opening the door without knocking. With his heightened hearing, he heard grunts of pain coming from above, in Yuu's personal room.
-I'm going henchman!- grim shouted as he quickly climbed the stairs with something in his paws.
-Quick Grim, help!
Malleus quickly followed the monster towards -Yuu's room, when Grim opened the door he saw a harrowing scene. His formerly cheerful Child of Man was now writhing in pain on the bed, his room a mess, and there was blood on his sheets.
-Yuu, what's going on? - Malleus' worried voice echoed in the room as he approached the bed.-Are you going to die? Are you hurt?
-Oh, Tsunutaro…- Yuu's voice was shaky, the only times Malleus called her by name was when it was a dangerous situation, like the fire incident with Rollo. She didn't have the strength to drink tea alone, so Grim supported her. his head and made him give the first sips. As he drank, his pains were…becoming more bearable.
-What magic potion was that you gave?- Malleus tried his best to remain calm, but Yuu didn't give any answers other than his low breathing.
-Chamomile tea. Yuu, here are the warm cloths that the ghosts brought.- gathering the tea and the warm cloths, his breathing was normalizing and his pains diminishing, until he arranged his position to talk to his dear friend, in a calmer expression while Malleus was forming dark, dark clouds on the horizon.
-What was the evil that attacked you Yuu?
-Whats up, Tsunutaro. You know, that thing arrived and I wasn't prepared.
-Who is “thing”, was he the one who invaded Ramcharckle and attacked her in her vulnerable state?- With his hand on his chin, Malleus thought of all the possible enemies that Yuu could have, thinking of a punishment for each one.
-Not him, she. Menstruation came really hard this month, I'm glad I have ghosts and grim to take care of me.
The feline purred on top of Yuu's belly who caressed it, the cat's vibrations eased its cramps. The truth is that this month Yuu was very overloaded, with tasks, with Grim, with her friends, with Crowley… who, in addition to not taking care of her health and ignoring the symptoms, forgot to set the day, causing a strong flow to arrive unexpectedly while watched TV with Grim in the living room. The ignored symptoms now insisted on being noticed, so much pain and stress and increased blood making Yuus turn from side to side in bed, trying to find the right position so as not to die of pain.
The ghosts had had experiences similar to these, so they taught Grim how to make the chamomile tea that Yuu always made and warmed the hot towels. But the powerful heir to the throne of thorns didn't know anything that was happening, he had never witnessed something like that, maybe ask Lillia later about this "menstruation" that attacked Child of man. His questions were dying in his mouth, he was confused, but Yuu was fast asleep.
-Do you feel better now, Child of Man?- Malleus approached Yuu, brushing the hair from his forehead and putting it behind his ear, feeling sad to see lines of dried tears, what a terrible pain.
-Getting better… little by little.- her confidence was so much in the fairy, that she didn't hesitate to keep her eyes closed, enjoying the calming effect of the chamomile
-I hope it doesn't last more than 5 days so you don't miss Henchman classes.
-Maybe it lasts all night Grim, but I'll be better tomorrow, as long as you bring me chocolates hehe.
-Anything, invoke me and I will help you, dear Child of Man- the fairy said goodbye leaving a trail of fireflies that gave Yuu a more cozy environment for a peaceful night.
As soon as he arrived in Diasomnia, he went straight to Lillia's room, who was playing some new game, when telling what happened the war veteran could not answer all the prince's questions, proposing that they go to have a meeting with the master in humans, Professor Wamuro , who coincidentally had a class the next day…
----------------------------------------------------------
Curiosity: This idea came to me when my brother saw me researching menstruation phases and he said "So you mean you are four people in a month? Who am I talking to now", this innocent question made me have the inspiration to do this fic. Curiosity II: The archetypes are different in my language to English, but they mean the same thing.

six red roses
@iinthelavenderhazee a little bit of dayasco for you <3
The steam sits heavy on the mirror as Daya paces back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Her towel lies forgotten where she had tossed it, beads of water trailing down her chest as she paces and tries to stop the anxiety from creeping in any further than it already has.
What if she doesn’t like it?
What if she went too far?
Daya narrowly avoids catching her thigh on the side of the sink and it pulls her out of her thoughts just enough to stop and take stock of the situation. So she sent Bosco some roses after she had offhandedly mentioned she liked them, no big deal. Yes, she was talking to Jasmine at the time, and yes, Daya never signed her name on the order, but still. That was to be expected, at this point.
Your order has been delivered! mocks her from the screen of her phone, the notification that had sent her into this spiral in the first place too jovial for the stress it was causing her. Most people would probably be happy to know that their bouquet of flowers was delivered, or at least they would be glad to see it got there, but ever since she had placed the order a part of her mind had been begging for it to never come to fruition.
Bosco might never know that it was from her, but what if she thinks it’s from someone else? What if she thinks it’s Jasmine, and then they talk and fall in love and Daya is stuck watching it all happen and it’s all her fault?
No, that was catastrophizing. What would probably happen is that Bosco would get the flowers, wonder about them for a day—if that—and then either enjoy them or throw them away. That’s all. Her name wasn’t on it, Bosco had no way of knowing that she was the one behind it.
Ding!
That doesn’t stop the bolt of anxiety from shooting through her as her text tone rings through the bathroom.
Bosco
Thanks for the flowers, baby
Fuck. Shit. Okay, nevermind. Maybe she can play it cool?
What are you talking about?
She wastes no time in turning her phone off, despite knowing that she’ll turn it right back on when she gets a reply. She just doesn’t want to see the indication that she’s texting back. And for a moment she almost believes it, almost believes that maybe, just maybe, Bosco will let this go.
They don’t.
Bosco
The roses. On the receipt, it said it was purchased by Daya Betty
I really like them ❤️‍🔥
They really like them. Okay. That’s… well, that’s something. At least.
She hopes that they don’t look it up, but at least she’s done an okay job at keeping her foot out of her mouth, not mentioning meanings, or flower language, or the number of roses she had gotten them having any meaning at all.
Oh, yeah
I’m glad you like them ❤️‍🔥
She groans, picking up her towel and running it roughly through her hair, making it stick up in weird places when she takes it away. This is what she gets for trying to do something cute, now she sent a flower that’s known for being very romantic to her very cute, very hot, very funny friend who she’s been trying to hide her crush on for years.
It was all ruined by a receipt.
Because Daya bought her six red roses.
And six red roses meant “I want to be yours.”
It’s two days later when Daya is startled out of her nightly tradition of sitting on the couch and pointedly not making dinner by the sound of a knock on the door to her apartment. She’s never been quick to open the door, but she’s slower today, trying to remember if she ordered anything or invited anyone over, but she can't seem to recall anything that would arrive today. Maybe a package came early?
She checks the peephole, and, as expected, finds nobody on the other side. It takes another second to unlock the door and undo the deadbolt, but when she finally opens the door she pauses, staring down at the welcome mat in front of her.
Pink roses. There's a bundle of seven (she double and triple counts and it's seven) pink roses next to a sheet of paper sitting on her rainbow welcome mat. She looks around to see if anyone else sees this, then scoops them into her arms and retreats back into her apartment.
She looks at the card first, not being able to help it. It's not hard to guess who sent it, but even still, the thought of Bosco giving her a bouquet in return, especially since she hadn't been talking about wanting one? It made the butterflies in her stomach that seemed ever-present when Bosco was around kick into high gear.
It feels unfair that you don't have some flowers too.
Hope you like them.
Love, Bosco
She knows what the next step is. The pink roses, the specific number... it feels a bit too thought out for this to just be her returning the favor in a completely platonic way, right?
Her fingers fly quickly across the screen as she hastily types in a search to Google, somehow miraculously avoiding any typos.
Seven pink roses meaning
And in big, bold letters, she gets the reply she needs.
I'm infatuated with you.

Today's compilation:
Animal Liberation 1987 Industrial / Post-Punk / Synthpop / New Wave
God, this thing is just so fucking on-brand for PETA, folks. Back in 1987, the oft-ridiculed animal rights activist org teamed up with Chicago heavyweight indie label Wax Trax! Records in order to release this benefit comp that saw its royalties go straight into PETA's own coffers. And, as you might expect, like clockwork, it was made up almost entirely of pure, unadulterated cringe 🥴.
Now, to be perfectly clear, I'm definitely not here to evaluate or criticize the merits of animal liberation as an ideology itself in this post, but people have to understand that if you're trying to convert others to your own way of thinking, you're not likely to get through to them with ridiculously over-the-top, preachy propaganda that, in true PETA fashion, will leave your target scratching their head and wondering if all of this is actually just some elaborate ruse or a silly bit. What I think would've been a far more effective tack to take during this era that saw the concept of the benefit comp really flourish would've been to include maybe a song or two about animal rights, and then have the rest of the comp filled out with a bunch of other non-topical goodies.
But obviously, PETA and Wax Trax! didn't end up doing that here. What they chose to do instead was load up this album with almost nothing but ridiculous songs about animal rights and animal liberation; songs that certainly reflect Wax Trax!'s own love of self-aware irony and detachment as a bastion of the intersection between industrial, synthpop and punk and post-punk music, but are not likely to translate into swaying anyone to alter their own consumer habits in order to help lessen the plight of animals themselves. It really feels like just about everyone on here knows that what they're doing is already too on the nose to be taken seriously, and so they're just deciding to act accordingly. Like, if you were to make fun of animal rights activists through the art of musical comedy, you would probably just release this album pretty much as it already is.
The only track on here that would've kept you from using this CD as a coaster is the final one, "Assault & Battery," by Howard Jones, who wasn't even ever a Wax Trax! artist in the first place! This song, like the rest of them, is about animal rights too, but it's a bit more poetic and compelling in how it deals with the subject, rather than the vast majority of this slate, which takes the route of being very lyrically dogmatic and deliberately straight-forward to the point of being exasperatingly eyeroll-inducing 🙄. But with "Assault & Battery," a song that had previously appeared on Jones' 1985 album, Dream Into Action, he pairs his trained piano background with some synthpop and ends up delivering what is, by far, the most captivating and enjoyable song on this album.
So, an exceedingly bad and torturous release that seems par for the course when it comes to PETA's history of overly lame attempts at being provocative rather than actually being thought-provoking, but there is still one very good tune on here; it's just that Wax Trax! had to go outside of their own catalogue in order to obtain it 😆.
Highlights:
Howard Jones - "Assault & Battery"

“And that is why—” Tadashi coughed into his mask. “Please excuse me. And that is why I am setting forth this proposal today. Not for our present, but for our children’s future. This is how we can save Japan!”
He continued to smile as polite applause filled the chamber, nodding to a few supporters of Ainosuke’s bill as he stepped down from the podium and returned to Ainosuke’s seat. His cheeks were starting to hurt from the effort of maintaining the expression, but he couldn’t really relax, either: even if people couldn’t see his mouth, they could still see his eyes. And as the discussions flowed around the chamber, he interjected himself at key points, striking down opposition with incisive reasoning or pushing toward compromises on other items. After all, the proposal had been drafted with an expectation that Ainosuke’s fellow politicians would demand concessions and try to hobble it, so Tadashi understood just how far he could negotiate on each point without undermining Ainosuke’s intentions. He also took detailed notes on the deliberations to ensure that his master could easily pick up where it left off… assuming that their condition resolved itself eventually.
The bill, at least, was something that couldn't be settled in a day, and as they called a recess for lunch, Tadashi was accosted by one of Ainosuke's party members. He had to repress a sigh as Shimada started to berate him about how the proposed bill would upset the construction lobby, to which Shimada had apparently offered his personal reassurances that they wouldn’t upset the status quo. Quite frankly, Tadashi thought that the issue was a problem that the other man had created all on his own, but he continued to smile as he shrugged.
“Well, we were elected to serve the interests of the people of Japan, not the construction lobby, right?” he pointed out, forcing some jocularity into his voice. “I understand their concerns, especially with our shrinking population that’s resulted in lower demand for their services, but what’s the point of building more apartments that are going to stand empty? Rather than that, wouldn’t you prefer a nice park for your grandchildren?”
Tadashi slapped Shimada playfully on the shoulder, holding back a grimace as he realized that perhaps he’d struck the man a little too hard, before continuing on his way. Both he and Ainosuke were tired of the scheming of the old men who still clung to most of the power in Japan, eager for their own enrichment. They weren’t so idealistic as to think that it was possible to replace all of them, but Ainosuke was trying to set an example that others would hopefully follow in order to usher Japan onto the world stage, alongside other superpowers.
As he returned to Ainosuke’s office, he paused outside the door, taking a moment to breathe and prepare himself before he stepped inside and closed the door.
“‘dashi, ‘dashi, ‘dashi! Did you know that there’s a shop nearby that sells sushi boats? For lunch? I was getting coffee for both of us when I walked past it, so I put in an order and asked them to deliver it! It should be getting here anytime soon! Anyways, here!”
Ainosuke thrust a paper cup at him, and Tadashi accepted it with quiet thanks before pulling the mask off his face and letting the smile drop as he reached up to rub his cheeks. He knew exactly which restaurant Ainosuke was talking about: it seemed to be some gimmicky tourist trap with the equivalent of conveyor belt sushi. In other words, overpriced and under-quality, something that he never would have ordered for Ainosuke. And especially not a sushi boat: how did the other man expect the two of them to finish it?
But Ainosuke was trying his best to fulfill "his" secretarial duties, even if it did seem more like a kid playing at doing a job, so Tadashi just smiled more gently and thanked him again before taking a sip of his coffee. It had cooled down a little, but it was strong and black, just what he needed after several long hours in the chamber, and he let Ainosuke urge him to sit down on the couch.
“So, how was your first morning as a politician?” Ainosuke teased, sitting down next to him. Tadashi did sigh then, and Ainosuke laughed, poking at his cheek playfully. “See? Not as easy as you thought, right?"
"The work itself was fine," Tadashi clarified, glancing over at the other man. It was still unsettling to see himself sitting there, especially with a broad smile that he'd never worn as an adult. "It's keeping up appearances that's exhausting. If I didn't have to pretend to be you and could just do the job—ah, here are the notes so far."
He handed his legal pad over to Ainosuke, but before his master could do more than take a cursory look, there was a knock on the door. Immediately, Tadashi started to get up, only to be pushed back down by Ainosuke's hand.
"Stay," Ainosuke ordered playfully as he got up instead, his expression turning neutral as he adjusted his tie before answering the door. He exchanged a few words with whoever stood outside, then he stepped back, pulling the door open wider to admit their visitor.
"You can bring it over here," he instructed, and Tadashi watched as a man stepped inside, his arms laden with a large, wooden ship. Ainosuke guided him toward the couch, helping him to set it down on the coffee table, before spending a few minutes settling up with the delivery man before seeing him out again.
“Go on! Eat, eat!” he encouraged Tadashi as he bounded back over, holding a little plastic container that looked like it held soy sauce and colored horseradish “wasabi.” Tadashi nodded as he reached out to pick one of the pieces off the boat, tasting it while Ainosuke enthusiastically mixed the sauce before putting it between them and reaching for his own piece. It was fairly bland, as Tadashi had expected: the fish was fresh enough, fortunately, but it was also too firm and rather flavorless. The rice was also cold and a little hard—possibly due to cooling down during the delivery, possibly due to poor craftsmanship—but as he glanced at Ainosuke, he saw that the other man seemed to be enjoying himself. In the end, that was what mattered, so he simply continued to eat quietly.
“Oh, right, the notes!”
Ainosuke reached for the legal pad, and Tadashi plucked it out of his hands.
“You can finish your meal first. It won’t take too long to go over them.” After all, in addition to taking detailed notes, Tadashi had made a bullet-point summary of where each issue stood to ensure that Ainosuke could immediately jump into everything if they ended up switching back in the middle of it all. Now, in the privacy of his office, they could afford to relax a little and take their time. Especially since thinking while eating was bad for digestion.
“You spoil me too much,” Ainosuke teased, but he didn’t try to protest as he helped himself to more of the sushi. They hadn’t even gotten through half the boat, though, before they were both done, and Tadashi tried to think about what he could do with the rest of it as he started to go over his notes with Ainosuke. Since they had the time to discuss it in detail, he was careful to explain the status of each point thoroughly, and when they’d finished, Ainosuke rubbed the top of his head affectionately.
“Awwwww, you did such a great job! Really! You're working so hard, and I'm proud of you!"
Tadashi could feel his cheeks heating up, but Ainosuke continued to coo over him, probably making a mess of his hair. Eventually, though, he sat back, still beaming as he tugged a small comb out of Tadashi's breast pocket.
“You’re such a mess now! Let me help neaten you up!”
Tadashi didn’t bother pointing out that he was a mess because of Ainosuke, but there was something relaxing about feeling the other man pull the comb through his hair. After Ainosuke returned to their bags to pull out his hair gel so he could smooth it through Tadashi’s hair, Tadashi frowned slightly, turning his face upward so he could look at Ainosuke. Ainosuke clicked his tongue at the movement, but he continued pampering him anyways, his brows furrowed slightly as he concentrated on his work.
“If we get our bodies back, do you want me to do this for you, too?” he asked. His master had always seemed content to take care of his hair styling by himself, so Tadashi wasn’t sure if this was an extension of that, or still part of his playacting the role of a secretary. And Ainosuke hummed cheerfully.
"I'd like that."
"I understand."
"No, I don't think you do. But that's fine," Ainosuke laughed as he tugged the comb through his hair one last time before leaning back to examine his work and straighten Tadashi's collar. "Perfect. Now you're ready to go back into battle… ready? Or do you want to call out sick and head home early? I think that sounds a lot more fun."
He raised his eyebrows suggestively, affecting yet another expression that Tadashi was pretty sure he'd never made before. It was certainly a tempting offer, but if "Ainosuke" were to call out sick on a bill that was so important to him, it would definitely raise concerns about his fitness among his constituents and give his political opponents something that they could use against him. And his future career was far more important than a bit of entertainment.
So Tadashi shook his head, reaching for the mask and settling it over his face again. Ainosuke sighed with exaggerated disappointment as he stepped back, letting Tadashi get up while he straightened up their notes and handed them back to Tadashi. Then, he fell into place just behind Tadashi's shoulder, his expression flat and slightly bored, as they left the office and headed back toward the chambers.

That Old Time Religion- An Appreciation of Eternals
I find myself taken by the Eternals because it’s exactly the kind of movie that I wanted: Something like a mix between The Big Chill and a Terrance Malick film with superheroes. I wanted to see a group of characters who’ve known each other too well and for too long and who find themselves adrift in various ways. The film delivered that with aplomb.
What I didn’t expect was that the film would lean into the idea of Eternals as missionaries. Not the kind of missionaries that we see today, but something from a century or two ago. Small groups of fervent followers of some offshoot sect huddled in meeting in small rooms a la something out of The Master, or settling across the frontier spreading the gospel, bound by a common dogma and spiritual zeal. In that environment, the religious group becomes a sort of extended family, with generations, divisions of labor, relationships, and expectations, both of oneself and others. The Eternals present as one of these ‘missionary families’ and I think the movie does a good job of illustrating the sense of loss and disorientation that happens once that religious mission has no meaning.
Ajak is at the top of this family, the spiritual leader who holds the complete faith of her disciples and her directives hold the weight of God itself. Below here are the trusted older members, the devout Ikaris, the resolute Thena, the frustrated intellectual Phastos, and the lighthearted but steadfast Gilgamesh. Next would be the anxious but family-oriented Kingo, followed by the restless ‘teens’ Makkari, Druig, and Sprite who all chafe under the restrictions of their religious life in different ways but are bound by family ties. Finally, there is Sersi who, interestingly enough in this film is presented as the most innocent ‘youngest’ member of the team, with Chan’s performance playing up Sersi’s love of humanity and aversion to making choices as primary aspects of her character (Chan herself described Sersi’s story as a ‘coming of age’ story in interviews).
These dynamics come to ahead at Tenochtitlan where the Eternals' two missions meet an inflection point. The Eternals’ mission is described in two parts–a) killing the Deviants, and b) helping to foster humanity’s development. In Tenochtitlan, the Eternals seemingly kill the last of the Deviants, the Eternals are left with the state of the second mission. Druig calls out the failure of this lesson and in true teenager fashion, rebels against an order that has failed at the part of the mission that he is the most invested in. This in turn prompted Ajak to consider the religious mission concluded and release her children to their own fates. Here, the movie does something truly interesting in that it explores the question of self-identity and relationships outside of a hardcore religious context. All of the personality traits, relationship roles and expectations that the Eternals have ever known have been tightly connected to their faith in Arishem and the mission that he gave them through Ajak. Now that that’s over, who are these people? Who are they to each other? What are they supposed to be doing? Ajak gives the directive to ‘go out and live your lives (I’m paraphrasing)’ but would any of us know what that means if all we had known is one life, one faith, and one mission? The looks on the faces of the rest of the Eternals seems to betray this sense of dislocation and disassociation.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mainstream superhero movie take something like that on, particularly in a way that provides such murky answers. Three of the characters die in the process, one disappears before the big battle, and in the end the group splits into two different missions with three members possibly having their arcs erased with their memories. That’s heady stuff, and to me, it’s what makes Eternals such a fascinating movie.

I hope you enjoy this one! I haven't been writing this week very much, I have a lot going on, but I am hoping that this chapter is enjoyable nonetheless! (more at the end!)
Tumblr media
Chaos at the Bottom
“Are you sure I can’t help you with anything, ma’am?” Tekla asked. Padme looked up with her signature warm smile. 
“I think I have it in hand, thank you so much. Can you see if Brelle need’s anything?” the young politician suggested. Tekla nodded and left the room with a smile. Padme let out a soft little sigh. Things had been tense these last few days. She hadn’t even heard from Anakin at all. It seemed that he’d been pretty upset after their last conversation. She’d not even had the time to really call him either. He was meant to be there today, she had a speech prepared for the charity event she was hosting in a few hours. Tekla had kindly prepared her dress, and it hung on the back of the door, ready for her. 
Finishing up the last few edits to her speech cards, she was finally done for the night. Her campaign offices weren’t exactly spacious, nor were they in the best location, but she had at least been able to get close to the people here, and her offices were accessible to the public when they were open. It had been valuable to really get in touch with the citizens of the city and keep in touch with what they needed. 
It was also a great help when it came to public image. 
Her phone chimed on the desk and she looked over. 
Are you ready for tonight?
It was Anakin. She bit her lower lip and stared at the notification for a moment. She needed to answer. Though it suddenly felt awkward considering the last time she’d seen him. With a sigh, she reached out and picked up the device. Perhaps if she got it over with sooner rather than later, and hurried to the hotel where the event was being hosted, they'd have time to talk before the start of the night. That was an idea. 
She checked the time. Damn, she didn’t have much time if she still wanted to be ready on schedule. 
I’m ready. Be out front in 5! 
She sent back a quick response, hoping it seemed cheery enough. Maybe she should have added an emoji? It didn’t matter, she had to go. 
“Dress, purse, speech, keys, bag…” she recounted to herself in order not to forget anything. She threw most of the items into her over shoulder bag and picked up the dress in the protective bag it hung in. 
That was when she heard voices, low talking from the main office. It didn’t sound like a voice she knew. Who was here that she didn’t know about?
Padme made her way out, carrying the dress on the hanger over one arm and her bag on her shoulder. She caught the sound of the main door opening and the retreating back of someone in a dark hoodie. They seemed to have a bit of a cough, it didn’t sound very good. 
She turned to see Tekla holding a box. 
“What was all of that about?” Padme asked curiously. Tekla seemed a little confused herself. 
“I don’t really know, he said he was from the Rotary Club, and he was delivering some items for the charity auction.” She shrugged and Padme frowned. 
“Were we expecting a donation from them?”
“I’m not sure, Brelle said there might be one or two remaining… she is just cataloguing some of the items, we’re about to take everything over there.” The young woman smiled brightly. She was always so capable and helpful, Padme couldn’t help but grin. 
“Well you two seem to have it in hand, I’ll head out now to get ready--” the sound of a vehicle drew her attention, and she spotted Anakin’s sports car on the far side of the parking lot. He always parked there just in case there were prying eyes. “Ah, there’s my ride, I’ll see you there!” she said and waved goodbye, quickly leaving the building and crossing over to where Anakin was waiting. A big smile crossed her face. She had missed him, and she was looking forward to getting this all cleared up and having a good night. 
“Anakin…!” she greeted, and her smile grew. Anakin stepped out of the car and his lips curved into their signature boyish grin, he was glad to see her too. “We have time at the hotel before I have to be downstairs…” she began and he chuckled. 
“Sounds like a plan,” he replied, picking up on her suggestion. He moved around to her side of the car and opened the door for her, like a gentleman. Anakin took his seat in the driver’s side and gave her a gentle smile. 
“I missed you,” she admitted. 
“I think we got a little too worked up last time,” Anakin said with a grimace. “I’m--”
Suddenly a huge sound and some sort of force sent Padme jerking in her seat. Had another car hit them? What was that glowing--?
“Oh my god.” Padme stared ahead, her vision blurred but as she stared, she could see flames, and black smoke billowing out from the building… Her offices. “What…?!”
Anakin slammed the car in drive and took off before Padme could even fully register what had happened. 
“Anakin wait!” she cried. 
“No! I don’t want to risk you if there’s another explosion!” She looked at him, and he too looked rattled but somehow managed to keep a cool head. 
“But Tekla and Brelle were in there!” she protested, tears coming to her eyes. 
“Call the cops, I’m getting you to a hospital first, just to be safe!” He sped away from the site and though she tried to protest, he would not budge. What if she had just left her people to burn to death?! Oh God! How had this happened? Who could have done this? It made no sense! One moment her office was there… then it wasn’t! She didn’t understand, everything in her brain was a chaotic mess. Nothing made sense. 
She stared in shock at the smoke rising above the buildings. She couldn’t do nothing…! Padme reached for her phone to call the police. 
══════════════════
The downtown area was in chaos for several days, it was all over the news and seemed to be all anyone could talk about. Speculation had begun to surface in regards to the origins, and the police had no leads. Some had begun to suspect the young mayoral candidate herself and there was growing suspicion from unknown sources. 
Zaiya watched the news report and sipped her smoothie. This was an unusual turn of events. She had no proof Palpatine was behind it, but her gut feeling told her he was. She lowered her phone as the video ended and she stared across the courtyard of the little cafe she sat at. She was going to have to look into it, but there might be a better way to gain information. She tapped through her contacts and dialled. 
“Hello?” came a gruff voice on the end of the phone. 
“Hello darling! I hear things have gotten rather busy in your neck of the woods,” she said with a forced cheeriness. 
“What the-- how did you get this number?!” Fox retorted in irritation. She didn’t feel any heat behind his words though. 
“I’m fine too, thanks for asking,” she replied without missing a beat. 
“What do you want, kid?” he sighed and Zaiya grinned. 
“Well since you guys are so swamped, maybe I could come down and assist…?” she spoke vaguely on purpose but he seemed to know what she meant. 
“I’m not really on the case-”
“No, but you’re clever, and you know what is going on,” she insisted. She knew he had to know more than he was letting on. He had to, lest he be a very poor detective indeed. There was a very long pause before he answered. 
“I’ll text you the address, meet in an hour. I have some more information to give you too.” Zaiya’s smile became a little more genuine. Finally! A lead! She hung up from Fox and began to gather her things. 
It was a relief to have something to focus on other than Maul for a while. Since getting back from their little excursion - and consequently one of the greatest orgasms she’d ever had - she had been left so confused. 
She was not supposed to get involved with him! Beth’s advice was one thing, but she didn’t know the whole story. Worse still she wasn’t sure she’d actually gotten Maul “out of her system”. 
The smug, arrogant asshole. He’d looked like the cat that got the cream when he’d dropped her off at her apartment. 
Try not to miss me too much, he’d said. She of course had laughed and smirked to cover her unease.
Not likely… but I told you before, not to get obsessed with me.  She hoped it had come across as dismissive as she’d wanted. They’d not had contact since and she wasn’t exactly waiting for him to call to talk about it. It shouldn’t have happened. At all. 
It could certainly never happen again. Now, she just had to focus on her true mission. 
══════════════════
Once she reached the address, she realised it was an empty shop across the road from the site of the bombing. Black scorching and smoke residue still covered the parking lot, exterior of the building and surrounding area. The windows were now boarded up and crime scene tape was everywhere. So soon after the attack, she was amazed by how few cops remained investigating or at least protecting the area. It further solidified in her mind that Palpatine had a hand in this. 
Zaiya tied her long white curls up and hid them under her hood before she took to the back alley behind the place Fox had said he’d be at. She snuck in through a rear door to the empty building, finding a broken window that looked old, it seemed to have been broken a long time ago. 
This whole area should have been cordoned off as well, it was like they didn’t really want to find who had done this. 
She made her way through the vacant rooms, apparently once it had been some kind of deli, but now everything sat under a thick layer of dust. Zaiya did, however, notice a few footprints along the walkway in the gloom. There were no clear ones, but as she followed the trail, they led through a door in the back and up a set of stairs. Upon reaching the top, the darkness was too intense and she brought out her phone to use for a flashlight. 
Ahead, one one of the floorboards, was a clear print from a rather large sneaker. Acting quickly, she took out a little scale ruler that she always carried in her purse and carefully laid it down beside the delicate print. She used both her phone and her high quality camera in order to take a picture that showed the details of the shoe. It wasn’t perfect but it was the closest she’d seen to evidence. 
Following the trail and stepping around the footprints she could see, she found herself entering a smaller room that could have once been an office or bedroom. She moved to the window and looked out. Below was a perfect view of the campaign offices. 
She heard more footsteps and turned, seeing Fox’s curly haired head peek in from the hallway. 
“I thought you’d wait outside,” he said with a frown.
“Linger across from a bomb site? When the sun is going down and I am in a hoodie? Oh yeah, great idea. Not suspicious at all,” she retorted with a snort. In the dim light she saw Fox roll his eyes. She turned her back to him to look out the window again. “Was it remotely detonated?” she asked suddenly.  She heard Fox pause mid-step across the room. 
“What makes you say that?” he asked slowly. 
“Vantage point,” she gestured out at the landscape below and he came to join her at the window.
“You’re right,” he mused, his dark eyes drinking in the information as she pulled out her phone again to scan the ground with the torch light.
“What are you doing?!” Fox hissed, “they could see the light and we can’t be here!” 
“I’ll be quick, I just need to see-- aha!” she grinned and leaned down, snapping a few photos while she had the light. She took out a latex glove from a secret pocket she’d sewn into her hoodie and picked up the item. “Give me a bag,” she said, putting her phone in her mouth to hold the light while she waved her free hand. Fox grunted but handed her an evidence bag. Carefully, she picked up a few items and dropped them in. 
Fox held up the bag and chucked. 
“Cigarette butts.”
“Your guy could have been up here waiting for the right time to drop the bomb… or to watch it go off? Remote detonator maybe?” she suggested. Fox’s mouth formed a firm line. 
“Could be… could also have been some random junkie smoking up here for no reason. This evidence wasn’t collected properly--”
“Sure it was, you’re a cop, and I wasn’t here.” Zaiya grinned smugly. 
“And I’m not supposed to be here…!” he snapped back, “I don’t have the authority, and I sure as hell can’t order a DNA test on these.” 
“Not if there’s pressure for an ‘expected result’,” she replied with a sneer. 
“If this is some conspiracy, like you claim, there’s no way they would allow anything on the record that would counter their argument.” 
“What, you still don’t believe the man in the big chair can’t pull the strings?” she asked, switching off the phone light and looking back out the window at the still smoking ruins of the office. 
“It just seems like something you’d see on television,” Fox scoffed. 
“You’re not wrong,” Zaiya mused, but Fox had no idea what Palpatine was really capable of. She had seen the depths of his depravity and cruelty. She witnessed his paranoia and his willingness to hurt anyone and everyone to get what he wanted. “But a pretty little thing becoming his replacement? And a woman at that? He’s not the type to respect anyone he thinks of as lesser than him.” Fox turned his head and she glanced up.
“You know that?”
“What?”
“You said, ‘he’s not the type’ you know that for a fact?” He frowned at her like he was thinking and Zaiya had to cover herself quickly. 
“I just mean he doesn’t seem the type, men like that are all the same,” she shrugged, as though it didn’t mean anything, hoping he’d take it. Fox chuckled. 
“You seem a little young to be so jaded,” he said with a wry smile. He seemed to have accepted it. “Listen, we’ve been here too long and there’s something else I have for you, c’mon.” 
══════════════════
“So what have you got?” Zaiya asked, sitting opposite Fox at a little diner a few blocks away. She watched him as he barely glanced at the menu and held up a hand for the waitress. 
“Black coffee, two sugars and a bacon sandwich with a side of fries.” It was like it was rehearsed. 
“I’m not sweet enough for you?” she asked with a smirk. The detective ran a hand over his curls and gave his little half-grin 
“Not today, kid.” 
“I am not a--” 
“You want somethin’ sweetheart?” the waitress asked, looking at Zaiya disapprovingly. The white haired woman gave the lady her most saccharine smile. 
“A hot chocolate and one of those big cookies, if you please,” she said ever-so-sweetly. The waitress blinked at her for a moment, wrote something down and walked off, unimpressed. Fox seemed highly amused. “So what is it?” Zaiya returned to a more neutral expression as she looked back at him. Fox’s smile faded as he reached into his bag and pulled out a beat-up folder, laying it on the table between them. 
Zaiya picked it up immediately, and began to look through it. It was a case file. Her eyes widened when she read the details on the first page. 
“Lola Organa… this is the case you were shafted for asking too many questions…!” she said, eyebrows raised. “How’d you get it?” 
“Well they think I’m a beat down cop with no ambition left…” he replied. She grinned at him triumphantly.
“Shows what they know, huh?” she smirked. 
“They’re right,” Fox said bluntly and Zaiya’s smile faded again. “Or they were… til you decided to shake things up. I dunno what it is about you, but you’ve got…” he looked like he was reaching for a word but couldn’t grasp it. “Something… I don’t know… but I appreciate it.” 
Zaiya felt flattered and uncomfortable at the same time. It was high praise from someone like Fox, she was sure of that. At the same time here she was, lying to him about how she fit into this puzzle that was Palpatine’s past. She withheld the truth and he was being free with this file that could easily get him fired or worse if they knew he had it. 
“That’s very kind of you to say,” she said sincerely. Her eyes lowered to the pages again and she decided to process the feeling later, but for now, she had to find out more about Lola. She scanned the information -- which in itself was pretty scant. The details were limited, and the photos were gruesome. The poor girl must have been in pain as she bled out on the cold street… no one to help her. 
Zaiya’s brow furrowed. It was disgusting, the poor girl by all accounts had done nothing wrong but know something she wasn’t supposed to. 
“Does anyone know why she was killed?” Zaiya asked as she filled through the pages slowly.
“No one knows for sure, but she was working in City Hall, just a filing assistant… witnesses said she usually worked late nights and was diligent with her work,” Fox explained and Zaiya grimaced. 
“Optimist… idealist… wanting to help people… if she overheard something one night, of course she’d not be the type to take a bribe.” The white-haired woman ran a hand over her face. 
“It’s speculation, there’s nothing we can prove to say she knew anything,” Fox replied, and tapped the statement she was reading with a firm finger. “There is nothing that links this crime to be internal at all…” 
Zaiya looked up at him. 
“Except the feeling you have, you wouldn’t be showing me this if you really believed that.” There was a pause and he rubbed his chin. 
“Most of the witnesses at her job seemed scared, or unsurprised when we reported her death. The first interviews were easy enough, but when I went back, everyone had clammed up and no one was talking.” He let out a frustrated grunt -- but as he began to speak again, the waitress came over with their drinks. 
Zaiya flipped another page and her eyes widened. In one of the pictures, she spotted a piece of evidence that looked awfully familiar. On the ground, near the girl’s hand, was a silver ring. One with an insignia she had seen before. 
On the hand of a man with red and black skin. 
There was no way. He still wore it so--
“Where's this?” she asked, holding up the picture. Fox leaned in to look at it. 
“Ah,” he muttered and took a sip of his coffee. 
“‘Ah’? What’s ‘ah’? What does that mean?” she said with a frown. 
“That particular item is missing,” he elaborated. “That’s the only picture that proves it was there. Official records don’t even list it into evidence.” 
A cold wave hit her as she stared at the ring. It couldn’t be the same one… could it? If it was then… was Maul lying to her about his father? Was he still doing Palpatine’s dirty work? Was she falling into some kind of trap? 
What had she gotten herself into?
Tumblr media
Notes: What does this all mean for Zaiya?! Did Maul kill that girl?! Is he gonna do something weird now? And who blew up Padme's offices?! The plot thickens my friends! I hope you enjoyed, and as always, I really appreciate feedback and comments, it really helps give me the motivation especially when things are tough for me atm.

CONCERT REVIEW: THE KILLERS W/ JOHNNY MARR AT ROGERS ARENA - AUGUST 19TH, 2022
Tumblr media
Few musicians today have had the continuing success and appeal of The Killers. Since their 2004 debut album Hot Fuss, they’ve remained one of the biggest rock bands on the planet. This was a special tour, marking primary guitarist Dave Keuning’s return to the group after a four-year hiatus.
Opening the show was Johnny Marr along with his full band. While best known as the guitarist for The Smiths, he has a decades-long solo career. In addition, he’s toured and recorded with several other bands including Modest Mouse, The Cribs, and Electronic with Bernard Sumner of New Order. Johnny continues to carry himself with a smooth, cool, chill vibe on stage – now over four decades since he began performing. He was adorned by a backdrop silhouette of a Buddha playing guitar, which just seems to work for the guy.
During his half-hour set, the energy was up the entire time. Nothing could have dampened the enthusiasm – even some minor tech/sound issues. (“I’d like a hair fix as well,” Johnny joked after the dead mic was replaced.) His banter and attitude suggested he was truly happy to be performing for Vancouver and on stage. Johnny circled through nine songs. In addition to some solo work, he covered Depeche Mode’s “I Feel You” and his own band Electronic’s “Getting Away With It.” 
Of course, the most recognizable tracks were The Smiths hits. He did “Panic” near the beginning which led to an arena of people, along with Johnny, chanting “Hang the DJ, hang the DJ, hang the DJ!” for a good two minutes. So much fun. The middle featured “This Charming Man,” an upbeat and sarcastic tune that had Johnny on vocals sounding, to be frank, much better than his former singer Morrissey ever did. Last but certainly not least was closing with “How Soon Is Now?” – a melancholy and long new wave track that features some of my favourite guitar work of The Smiths. Although an older artist may not have been the choice everyone was expecting as the supporting act, Marr was fantastic support and then some.

Finally came the main event. From the minute they  took the stage it was clear the entire band – including slick frontman Brandon Flowers – haven’t lost any charisma or goodwill in the last few years. The energy was intense the entire night as the group delivered almost nothing but loud, proud, upbeat anthems spanning their entire career.
The Killers are a band whose image has been influenced by almost every genre of band that has come before them. The indie rock sounds of the 2000s. The poetic, reflective imagery of Bruce Springsteen and country artists. The new wave and glam progression of the 80s. It’s kind of a cosmic gumbo. While never depressing or too slow, their sound ranges from arena rock to mellow, soulful country. Their setlist included songs from all of their albums, always making a smooth transition and never keeping the mood too low for long.
Brandon made lots of direct and indirect interaction with the audience from the beginning to the end. He joked about being back in the arena. (“This is a super spreader event… We are spreading peace, love, and rock and roll!”) He held the hands of a lucky few sitting on the side stage. He spoke candidly of the challenging decisions the group made to release two albums in the last two years, during a time when most artists didn’t. In their most cool move, during the encore, the band brought a fan called Pepo on stage to play drums for the entirety of “For Reasons Unknown.”
Although the visuals were not as intense or powerful as many concerts I’ve attended previously, they seemed to be just right in complementing without overshadowing the music. There were plenty of lasers and colour hue changes throughout. More than once, streamers and confetti were released over the entire pit: it really was one giant party in there. There were still some cool, specific images, like dancers in a box during “Human.” (“Are we human or are we dancer?”) Astrological starscapes during “Spaceman.” Desert passages and the “Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, a few times. Still, much of the backdrop was simply close-ups of the band members. But they had enough energy, stage presence, and moves that it never felt wrong. In fact, it only served to heighten the larger than life presence of a band that just radiates showmanship.
One unexpected but very cool part of the set was Johnny Marr coming out to join the band for a few songs. “When you’re growing up as a young kid in a small town, like 4000 people, and everything seems black and white… you discover a band called The Smiths… and everything seems to be a little more in colour,” Brandon shared with the crowd. It was clearly genuinely exciting for Flowers to be playing alongside his childhood influence. They covered two Smiths songs, “Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before” and “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out.” Both are somewhat more mellow and in a higher vocal range than Brandon tends to sing in: nevertheless, the combination worked. If The Smiths ever want to reunite, I’d be happy to see Brandon do guest vocals over the original guy.
Tumblr media
No doubt The Killers are a crowd pleaser, and that’s why they sold out Rogers Arena to 18,000 people. One forgets how many of their songs are beloved anthems until you’re at the live show. It felt like every other track I was saying “Oh yeah, this one!” There was the chanting along to the chorus of “Somebody Told Me” (“that you had a boyfriend, who looked like a girlfriend…”) and the heartbreaking cries of “Read My Mind.” (“Before you jump, tell me what you’ll find…”) It was pure magic with the deep rumblings of “I got soul but I’m not a soldier” repeated a couple dozen times for “All These Things That I’ve Done.” And of course, there was the very last song of the encore that had us all singing along to every single line. Anyone who’s been in a bar or party over the last 15 years has witnessed a crowd shout along in real time, but it really doesn’t compare to the real thing live. If I never do anything else in this life, I’m glad I got to experience the live rendition of “Mr. Brightside.”
Perhaps concerts have an extra special energy to them after a long period of unfeasibility. Perhaps The Killers really are just one of the most fun and engaging live bands around after all this time. Probably both. Whatever it is, I came out of the arena pumped and smiling. It was a feeling I haven’t had in a long time and I’m so happy the group delivered.

Three Little Changes (Part 11)
Katara holds her hand to her forehead, squinting against the searing sun. It hangs proudly and goldly in a sky so brilliantly blue that it almost hurts. And perhaps it hurts because of the intense longing that it instills. 
The squawk of a portable radio resting upon a pink polka dot beach towel declares that heat is at a record high and climbing. Not that Katara needs a radio to tell her that much, she can feel it smoldering in her each and every pore. She isn’t one to acquire a sunburn but she feels this heat to her bones.
On a normal day, the crooning of the seagulls would be a comfort to her, but even they seem lazy and untalkative beneath the rolling heatwaves. They take to the shade beneath the palm trees and their roosts in the rafters of the on beach smoothie bars and concession stands.
The never ceasing crashing of waves begs her to come to them. Each slap is a cry for her to come back; the water misses her and she it. But she can’t go to it, the beach wheelchair that Azula has ordered for her has not yet been delivered and there is a whole stretch of sand between she and the water. Not that the ocean will be lonely without her…
It is overflowing today, even if extra concession stands, popup souvenir shops, and tournament banners weren’t plentiful the suffocating weather is compelling even the most homebound homebodies out of their houses. 
She even sees Yon Rah at the very edge of the beach where his property line meets the public beach. She had never been fond of the man, not since his feud with their mother. Over who could cook the best seafood of all things. She supposes that she has to respect him for his honesty–for not suddenly becoming buddy-buddy with the woman after her cancer announcement. In spite of it, she finds herself offering him a wave. The man frowns slightly but reluctantly returns it. 
“Katara, you’re here!” Suki declares. “I have some water bottles and sunscreen.” She offers. “And other concessions. 
“Yeah…most of me is anyways.” Katara mumbles. “I don’t know why I’m here…” she shoots a glance at Azula. “It’s not like I can do anything, anyways.” 
“You can quit complaining, that’s something you can do.” This time the window between the words leaving her mouth and her realizing that the remark was completely uncalled for is significantly smaller. She mumbles an apology. 
“I’ll take some sunscreen and a lemonade.” 
Suki smiles and hands it over. “On the house.” 
“Thank you.” 
“You know that it’s no trouble at all!” 
“A water.” Azula requests. “I don’t need sunscreen. I don’t get sunburns.” 
Katara anticipates a hefty amount of complaining on the way home when Azula’s skin goes as bright red as the stripes on the Caldera Coast flag.
Suki declares the price and Azula points out that she is off by a dollar. “There’s a rudeness fee.” 
Azula scowls but forks over the money regardless. Katara can’t help but laugh. “You’re actually going to pay the extra cash?”
Azula shrugs. “It’s not a substantial amount.” 
“Maybe I should keep charging you fees for mean remarks.” Suki taps her pointer against her chin. “Like a swear jar or something.” 
“That’s ridiculous.” Azula grumbles. 
“Only because you know that you’ll somehow manage to put your whole family in financial debt.” 
“You’re hilarious.” She replies flatly.
But her eyes tell a different story. The same one that they tell whenever Sokka starts to question her motives or affections. The same one that she had once worn when dealing with Lian and Star’s quips. 
“She’s just being her, Suki. She doesn’t mean anything by most of those remarks.” Not that it isn’t something they’re still working on. “She walked all the way to the hospital to see me the other day.” 
Suki’s expression softens at least a little, but Azula is no less tense. Not that she expects her to be. 
“People of Caldera Coast!” Announces the host, over the speakers his voice thunders bold and enthusiastic across the beach. “Welcome to the annual town surf championship competition. We are just about to begin the first heat. And up first we have Chan, Ruon-Jian, Mihiro, and Sung…”
Azula takes Katara’s hand and gives it a little squeeze. She was supposed to part take in the third heat. She watches Chan and Ruon flash their self-assured smiles and give their waves as they pass through the crowd. 
Katara looks away from them and well down the beach to the area where swimming is still open to the public. Azula follows her gaze and asks, “do you want me to take you down there?”
“For what?”
“A swim, I guess.” She replies. “It could be good for you. For both of us.” 
.oOo.
It is quite a task to get Katara’s wheelchair across the sand even with Suki’s help. But she hopes that it will be a rewarding one. Azula huffs, she is about ready to lift Katara out of the chair and carry her the rest of the way while Suki holds onto the wheelchair. But finally they reach the shoreline. 
A shoreline dotted with eroded rocks, colorful shells, and a light line of seafoam. Azula dips her big toe in first. “It’s colder than usual.” She remarks of her findings. She bites her lower lip as she finally begins to second guess her suggestion that they go for a swim. If the ocean had hated her before, surely it absolutely loathes her now. Now that she has escaped its aquatic grasp twice and stolen Katara from it too. 
“You alright?” Katara asks. 
Azula nods, digging her toes into the sand.
“You can lean on us.” Suki says.
“Ready?” Azula asks. 
“I guess I am.” Katara mumbles. But Azula finds that she isn’t quite ready yet. Even so she lets Katara sling one arm across her shoulders while the other drapes over Suki’s. Slowly but steadily they make their way into the ocean.
Slowly, steadily, and with an increasing sense of unease that she feel is, for once, shared. 
“We probably shouldn’t go too deep until you’ve had time to adjust.” Suki says. 
“I don’t want to go very far anyhow.” Azula replies, reflexively brushing a finger over her scars. 
“Neither do I.” Katara agrees. “Not yet.”
“Glad that we’re all on the same page for once.” Suki says. 
Azula helps Katara lower herself into the water. Water that reaches to just above her belly button when she finally gets situated. 
“Heat one begins now.” The host announces.
And Katara begins to weep. “This was supposed to be my year.” She whispers. “It was supposed to be all of our years.” She looks from Azula to Suki. 
Azula swallows. She wishes that she could say that she had no clue what wasted potential feels like. 
“We were going to show Star and Lian and all of them…”
“And you still can!” Suki declares. “I mean how many people can say that they were badass to survive a shark attack!?”
She knows that that won’t matter much. That they won’t see the skill and prowess that it takes to survive. They only see the scars and the disfigurations. Everyone only sees the weaknesses. But then again she had been in a boating accident, that’s just about as on par with the mundaness of a car accident. There is nothing extraordinary to her story. No splendid elements worth boasting about; she hadn’t even saved herself…
But Katara–she should be happy for Katara. Katara has herself an empowering story to go with her strife…
“How many people can say that they were badass enough to punch a shark in the face?”
Azula clears her throat, “it was more of a stabbing than a punch.” 
“Well I don’t think that anyone else at Caldera High can say that they stabbed a shark.” 
Azula manages a small smile. One that Katara doesn’t share. “I wanted to be known for surfing not surviving.” She grits her teeth. “Azula’s the one with the cool story.” 
 “Not the first two times she mutters.” 
“At least you get to be the rescuer now!” Katara shouts. “That’s enough to make everyone forget about…”
“About how much they hate me.” Azula shrugs. 
“I wasn’t going to say that!” Katara throws her arms up. “I was going to say that it’d be enough to make them forget about your accidents.”
“I don’t think that one lucky strike will be enough to balance anything out.” 
Katara exhales and rubs her hands over her face. “I’m so tired of hearing about your insecurities! Why do you always make everything about you!?”
Azula sneers. “You made this about me when you said that I was the one with the cool story.”
“You guys…” Suki winces. 
“And then you started complaining about the accidents again. It’s always a pity thing with you. You always have to be better than everyone; you even make being miserable a competition!” 
“That’s not true.” She folds her arms across her chest.
“Guys…” Suki says again. 
“You hate yourself and make it everyone else’s problem. You know why no one likes you?”
Azula scowls. It is like the cafeteria all over again and she is tired of hearing it. “It’s because you don’t. You would be the empress of the school…you would be the Lian of the school if you didn’t spend so much time feeling sorry for yourself.” 
As if that isn’t what Katara is doing right now. 
As if father doesn’t imply the same thing every day. 
She could be so much more…
She could be but she isn’t. 
Azula balls her fists and stands up. “Find your own way back up the beach.” 
Katara’s eyes widen. “Azula!” 
She kicks at the sand as she makes her retreat. 
“Seriously, Azula? You can’t just leave me here.” 
She almost asks the girl just how she is going to stop her. She bites her tongue at the last moment. 
“You’re really going to leave your girlfriend here?” Suki asks. “She’s been putting in a good word for you all day but you’re still the same aren’t you? The same person who…” 
She comes to a halt but doesn’t turn around. “I’m not.” She’s not that kind of person anymore. She can’t be. They are attracting stares now, an unwanted audience that she wishes would turn their attention back to the competition. And as she pads her way back over to Katara and Suki she wonders if she is even doing it for the right reason.
She isn’t in a particularly helpful mood.
She sits back down, pulls her knees up to her chest, and stares out at the ocean that wants to take everything from her. She thinks that it is probably laughing at her. It is easy to hear its chuckle in its slap against the sand.

TGIWednesday: What more to clear?
Tumblr media
TGIWednesday News
Tumblr media
Sometimes we can’t figure out what else to clear and work on.  Doesn’t matter if it’s a health challenge that won’t seem to budge; maybe a relationship, relative, or finances challenge even.  Don’t hesitate to clear, “I feel frustrated about_____ and “I am at my wits end about ____"  Sit with your feelings towards this issue even for a full minute and see what bubbles to the surface and then clear that too.  My new go-to when all else fails is, “Whatever component I am missing that would vastly change _____ in my favor, please release this block or weakness and in it’s place I see resolution, solving the dilemma, the answer and a changing outcome here and now!"  Play in this field and you may be shocked at how abstract or unusuall the block or weakness may be and how fast YOU can co-create positive changes with Spirit here and now!  Lots happening this week!  High Cotton Audio MP3 is out now, but the sale ends TONIGHT at Midnight PT so don't wait to buy it at the LOWEST PRICE - Just $39!  Our Zoom event about the same topic is also TONIGHT and will be in support of this audio MP3 all around finance money/receiving/deserving/worthy!  Join us before it sells out (only the first 100 people can participate on the live call.)  *SPECIAL NOTE*- If you submitted your Top 3 sometime yesterday and DID NOT receive an email from Support confirming it was rec'd, you can RE-SUBMIT to [email protected] ASAP due to issues with our email servers.  This testimonial came in just this morning!
"It has been a slow year so far. I have been in my head wondering what I could do. Then Jimmy Mack sent me his audio “High Cotton” which caught my attention me living in AL. I listened to it and got a renewed since of the power of attraction driven by his affirmations. Afterwards two clients pop up. One said hey I thought he should get a jump on things this year and placed a $6,000 order a month ahead of schedule and the other a $2,000 order just days after that. Along with other orders (not expected) this month is the first month over $10,000 this year… so far. I can’t wait to see what’s next!" - Jamie WWW.NEXTSTEPIMAGE.COM
