medieval - the fallen soldier
Added 2025-01-31 18:14:40 +0000 UTC
Photographed by the amazing Becca Need-Meaner! Believe it or not, this was done in her living room just using a black sheet hanging in the background, and a velvet blanket and pillow. We took a BTS video that I'll post so you can see the comparison, but what a talented photographer!
We wanted to do something just for fun, that maybe had zero utility beyond just a couple of girlies creating some cool images, and I definitely enjoyed using a replica of Aragon's sword lol
That's a loonng sword βοΈ

I wouldn't say I was ' a fallen soldier' but when I was in the military I was hit by a Landrover! Does that count? Wait!... a different thing?! oh c'MON!!

I often encounter women with
trauma from abusive partners
who have never had a good-
man in their life. In becoming
their friend & showing them
t/unconditional love they've
never received, I often restore
their faith in men & humanity.
If t/question about t/bear & man
in t/woods were changed to a
choice between a gay man or a
gay bear, would it change your
answer ?
Would t/change in your answer
reveal your real fears; that men
are undisciplined, selfish, &
lack self-control over their
primitive & impulsive desire to
mate w/a beautiful woman ?
I hate these men too. They ruin
t/reputation of men & ruin many
women for those of us who are
honorable. It's very disappointing
& I don't deserve to be lumped in
w/those monsters. To them: I'm
too good to be true & have some
angle that benefits me, & when
I don't have an angle: they get
confused. Why am I being so
nice to them ?
It's true, that like Elon, I had a
father: for whom nothing was good
enough. He never hugged or
said he loved me. That was my
mother's job & he made us feel
unwanted by complaining how
having kids ruined his life. We
were made to feel like a burden
& became reluctant to advocate
for our needs. Our physical
needs were provided for, but
our emotional needs weren't.
Farmers don't have t/great health
insurance of a corporate job, so
whenever we required medical
care, my father would complain
about t/expense. It's why I would
suffer through; a dislocated-hip
for a month as a teen, a
dislocated-rib for weeks at 19
that made it extremely painful
to breathe, & a collapsing lung
for 2 weeks at 37 until it was
completely collapsed & I finally
went to t/hospital on my bday
b/c I didn't want my tombstone
to say I went out on t/same day
that I came in.
My mother was also a nag &
for a person who hears everyone
t/first time & still counts t/number
of times others repeat their
phrases: nagging is unbearable
& an insult to my intelligence.
She abused my brother when he
was rebellious & disobedient as
a teen by squeezing his gonads
until he agreed to behave as
desired. She still denies ever
doing this & for a devout former
Catholic school-teacher: i find
her; lying, avoidance of shame,
inability to apologize, &
assumption that asking God for
forgiveness will grant it auto-
matically instead of asking my
brother for forgiveness: to be a
failure at redemption.
Perhaps that's how my NGS
(Nice Guy Syndrome) started.
One abusive parent w/poor
boundaries & another which
said we were; unwanted, not
loved, not worthy of care,
& not good enough.
Yes, I'm very calculating, can
be manipulative / influential,
but entitled: I don't feel that.
My cognitive-impairments
regarding my lack of memory
for names, dates, & directions:
has kept me from getting too
big of an ego.
Learning how to lie, manipulate,
& predict: has proven useful
when my livelihood or another's
is in jeopardy. I now prefer to
make an honest living & only
use my powers of persuasion
& rhetoric: to protect & serve.
I feel temptation rather strongly
& I think of what would be t/most
devious things I could do: given
t/opportunity to get away with it.
By knowing t/mind of a sinner or
criminal: that has allowed me to
become adept at catching them.
As t/saying goes, it takes a thief
to catch a thief. Perhaps in my
1st timeline: I was t/bad guy who
blew-up t/world & t/angels said,
" what if he worked for us
instead ? ".
I could do that. I know how to
calculate t/size of crystal needed
to equal an H-bomb or Big Bang:
& that's one reason I'm not too
fond of bots enabling my enemy
to access my memory. I guard
t/most destructive chemistry
still unknown to mankind. I have
to take those secrets to t/grave.
I'd like to think i can be trusted
w/a portal-gun or any tech that
could be used to greatly harm.
Earth doesn't even know how
badly t/world needs saving, nor
how lucky it was to have people
like you & me. I couldn't have
made it this far w/out your gift
& all of t/work which you've
done as an Archon. This is why
I said before: that if Earth truly
appreciated you in t/ways i do;
your meals would be free at
every diner, your bday would be
a holiday, & I'd buy you flowers
everyday: b/c i can't thank you
enough.

Sorry for t/reposts y'all.
Final-draft: i promise.π¬π€
There's dogmen who were part
of a super-soldier program.
They worked Special-Ops, but..
were replaced by the Were-Wolf:
which i'm assuming uses some
shape-shifter blood to transform.
The dogmen were being put
down after disagreement w/their
orders & they lacked the basic
human rights granted to soldiers.
T/pack left & started a territory or
reservation w/in a national park in
Kentucky w/good hunting & game.
Whenever campers trespass
in their territory, they attack,
& then t/military arrives to hunt
them all down. What a shame
it is: that our veterans' service
cannot even be acknowledged.
Their usage of portal-guns, like
on Rick & Morty: is what really
caught my attention.
I was going there to recruit their
weakest warrior(s) to assist with
infiltrating t/tunnels in Tucson AZ,
but t/portal-gun has sweetened
t/deal. It would mean being able
to visit w/less abandonment
issues if I have to respond & go
like a fire-fighter. I could travel &
perform my duties internationally.
Longer-term relationships would
be easier & a real option when i
can pop into anyone's living-room
like it was Carnival night in the
old Sci-fi: Logan's Run.
T/portaling emits blue-light,
so: if a blue-light flashes nearby,
be fore-warned that it's just me
incoming & the cats will likely
scram if my crew & dogman
accompany me. Don't shoot.
When Melinda met Bill Gates,
he had his schedule booked
solid & he said he could see her
in a month or whatever it was:
when she became interested.
She says, "You're going to have
to do better than that": to Bill.
Could you actually find or make
time for another partner, since
you're such a master scheduler ?
Do you leave any room for such
serendipity & happenstance ?
It's difficult for me to make plans
when I'm on a divine-pathway
that will nudge me hard in an
unplanned direction if needed.
As much as I might try to plan:
there's always side-tracking to
complete sub-missions. That's
going to be a real challenge for
my secretary b/c many times,
I need to go w/t/flow & I can't
fight t/currents of my exolocus.
If you were to make a pro / con
list of dating a time-cop, or a
"time-travel affected person"
as i've defined myself, then
what would that list be like ?
It first requires understanding
that my form of travel is unlike
any depicted in science-fiction:
so if you try to understand me
in the context of what you
already know: then you will fail
to do so. You're well enough
versed in time-travel to get it
w/help if you haven't already.
You would've been an Archon
as well & out-shined me in the
previous iterations of timelines
when we worked together.
You would've had t/same
abilities; luck, dreaming of
t/future, & you're a better fighter
than i am even now. Although
t/job is dependant on stealth &
avoiding/resolving any conflict
or reason 2B on anyone's radar:
you'd make an excellent recruit.
If you get burnt-out of comedy
& doing YouTube: it wouldn't
take much for you to become
an Archon again: considering
you were already approved for
t/job B4.
You should know that t/major
saves are anything but perfect.
They are barely accomplished,
but still satisfactory. My recent
sub-mission objective was to
arrive early, but I still arrived 2.5
hours later than planned w/less
than a half-hour b4 t/deadline.
It's like stealing second-base or
sliding into home-plate. It's pass
/ fail when my angels' patience
does wear thin. If it's good-
enough for them, it's good-
enough for me. It's not t/perfect-
score which i'd usually achieve
w/video-games & it's not what
I would normally expect of an
Archon.
Even though we won't die,
Archons must still behave as if
we can die, even though we
know we won't. We can't get
reckless or cocky. That won't be
a problem for you initially or
later-on if you're mindful of it.
Even though I won't die, I can
still be damaged permanently.
π 9-lives, but not invincible.
I have a habit of bragging about
accomplishments when I'm one
step away from completion.
When that final-step & finishing
isn't as easy as expected, I can
appear to be a naive braggart
that spoke too soon in declaring
victory.
If you've been to the San Diego
ComiCon, you likely would've
crossed paths w/an Illustrator:
Sandra Chang-Adair. Her book
of illustrations of steamy winged-
angels got my attention. T/inside
of t/front-cover has an auto-bio:
which states she's an apprentice
to Shaolin Monks & is trained in
The Bladed Arts. You wouldn't
be able to gather that from her
YouTube channel:
https://youtube.com/@sandrachang-adair7800?si=8XC4KvXMIScz3Ceb
Sandra is your size, you both
like comics, & she could train
you for combat instead of the
fancy baton-twirling you've
learned for film-acting. What
better way to act like a sword-
fighter than to become one.
T/training could help your
acting career. Sandra is 6 hrs
south of LA by car, but you'd
probably fly anyways. Staying
for a long-time to train 1:1 for a
week or however long: would
make t/drive a better investment.
I will also be traveling to the
dogmen's territory to find & train
w/Daniel: who i know is another
Archon based on t/way he fought
a 'demon-dog' w/his sword to
defend t/lives of two hunters.
His would be a "flawless-victory"
in Mortal Kombat. That's our luck:
being the David to every Goliath.
Daniel is t/only Archon I've known
to exist besides you: theoretically.
You wouldn't happen to have an
extra wood training-sword laying
around that's my size ? Or two
practice swords, one for weight
& one for speed; like a Rapier,
&/or a long Ranger-machete ?
I'll pass on Aragon's sword.
What's the longest handled
Samurai-sword you have ?
I would need 2 or more hands
for proper leverage. 8" to 12"+.
It would all make my job a lot
easier if I could borrow those
& repay you w/an Atlantean-
sword later. You got a Gambit-
like boa-staff or any bat-grade
stuff around.. w/a travel-case ?
You still ride that Rebel 350 ?
I wouldn't mind borrowing that
either until i can borrow a Turbo
Hiyabusa from my old coworker
in MN. It hurts to be on my feet.
