open starter location: the streets of jackson

Jo stood behind a post outside the bar, gun aimed and actively attempting to slow the raiders. It was evident that a lot of her was enjoying this, not the town being torn apart and it's citizens - a lot of them her friends - being ransacked. But the call to action, she reveled in it. "Hold back, I don't want you to get hurt," she calls to the person she sees out of the corner of her eye. She turns toward them briefly, eyeing them as she nods her head to reiterate what she'd said. "Did you not hear me? You'll get yourself killed - or worse, you'll get me killed trying to save you."

‘✂’ (for my Sub-Zero)

*Over due murder meme*

He has hunted down his prey; Fueled by one’s pain and suffering from the loss of his family motivated him to seek vengeance. From what he was told there was only one man that held “responsibility” for such a tragedy. The Lin Kuei assassin known only as ‘Sub-Zero’. Scorpion has gotten word of the Lin Kuei’s participation at the Mortal Kombat Tournament hence he was more than willing to compete on behave of the Netherrealm. After Liu Kang have defeated Goro and faces Shang Tsung in combat, Scorpion has the opportunity to make his move to kill Sub-Zero. It wouldn’t take long for the spectre to pick up his trail which leads him to ‘The Pit’

With Scorpion standing from behind at a short distance behind the assassin on the walkway, he made his presence known to the cryomancer by tossing his spear towards him as the first move, with Sub-Zero dodging the weapon and the two begin to battle.

The two have fought fiercely, but in the end, it was Scorpion who has the upper hand on Sub-Zero. The spectre has successfully pierced through Sub-Zero’s chest with his kunai-in-chains and pulls him back to deliver a uppercut knocking him several feet away. Sub-Zero slowly gets back on his feet, battered, cut, bruised, bloodied, and disoriented, was soon met the furious, vengeful, hate fueled white cataracted eyes of the undead ninja.

Scorpion now clutching his fists and soon coated in hell-fire, looked towards his family’s “murderer” with furious anger and hatred. “For my wife. My son. And for the Shirai Ryu!” He screamed before he uppercuts the Lin Kuei down into the spikes at the bottom of the pit.

Sub-Zero was soon impaled with one spike piercing through the stomach and the other through the skull with his right eye ball sticking out at the very tip of the spike. The landing has made him a bloodied, skewed mess, killing him instantly.

Scorpion lay eyes on the corpse for one last look of his adversary and soon letting out a victory cry towards the night sky before he teleports back to the Netherrealm. Finally avenging one’s family and clan, Scorpion can now rest in peace. (Or will he???)

 This isn't so bad, right? I can just.. reach for my bow and... 

A sudden blow to the head interrupted the young huntress' thoughts, a loud crack resounded off the walls and small clinks of plate hitting the stone floor of the cave were all to be heard, for the moment. 

 "OW! What was that for!?" Canerae's voice shook with the question, her gauntlet now covered in blood from her sudden reaction to the wound, "I'm bleeding now!"

 "And you'll be bleeding until you kill me. This is a savage land, you'll die one way or the other. So go ahead, kill me."

 "I'm not going to kill you!"

 "Do it! Or I'll kill you."

 "I won--" The exclamation was cut short by a hand surrounding her neck. Tears began to stream down the woman's cheek, leaving rust colored streaks in their wake.  It was evident mercy was not something the warrior showed often, if ever. Even more obvious was the sheer size of the man, he vastly outweighed and overpowered the smaller Canerae. 

 "You will, or you'll die yourself. Do you want that?" A question that may have been innocent, had it not been for the incriminating position the two had found themselves in. With little effort from him the huntress found herself flying across the cave, another blow to the head sustained as her body collided with the wall. She quickly stood, her vision blurring with the rush of blood.

"That's it! This is just making everything worse! I can't believe I ever trusted you, you---" With knees already weak from the injuries it was no large feat for the warrior to knock her off balance with heavy, plate greaves.

 "Less talking, more killing."

 Canerae found herself struggling to stand up, she refused to look anywhere but at her attacker. Her emerald eyes narrowed into slits as the young woman stood, awaiting the next move. In two steps she found herself face to face with the hulking, glowering warrior. What he hadn't expected was the cold blade pressed to his throat when he made his way over to her.

 "You wanted me to kill you? This is me killing you."

 In spite of everything, a satisfied, amused smile tugged at the corners of each elf's lips, followed by a short silence. A deeper, gruff voice was the first to be heard. "We have a guest."

 Canerae spun around, forgetting about the endeavor entirely when she saw the Watcher standing at the cave entrance, shocked. The knife was pushed down to the huntress' side, gently. She was too stunned to speak. 

 "Our training methods are a little unorthodox. I apologize that you walked in on this.."

Like seriously, if the most lethal means possible are not available, then it's pretty unlikely that quite so many people will die from violence. That was the point of my comparison to stabbing sprees - that with guns removed from the equation, there will be lower body counts.

Also, I don't think that gun control is the only solution. It is at best a part of a solution. 

I focused on gun ownership and gun control in response to someone else's claims about gun ownership and gun control.

After that last exchange I think I want to write a thing about men harassing women because I can't believe a motherfucker literally asked me to imagine how I felt the last time a man threatened me as if this is an unusual, rare occurrence.

(I’m going modern au here it being a bullet.)

"Lils no!" The young paramedic cried out as her friend slumped to the ground. Despite the training, the time spent in Afghanistan as a medic her mind momentarily went blank as she took in the blood spreading from the younger woman’s shoulder. “Shit, shit, shit. Where’s my phone?” She cursed patting her pockets as she knelt by Lilisuins side. Almost ripping her coat off she turned the girl to see the wound. “Damn Lils, you’re a lucky girl, through and through the fleshy part.” She muttered pushing the cloth to the exit wound and laying her back on it before shaking fingers dialled for help. Closing her phone she concentrated on her friend, sighing in relief as she finally heard sirens and saw the ambulance round the corner, greeting her colleagues with the information they needed. Promising to follow, she glanced round numbly at the scene, the sight of her friends blood on the concrete bringing bile to her throat, she knew the nightmares would return that night

Petition: Uncensor the Prefix Trans- From Diablo III Clan Making

Trigger Warning: This article contains instances of transphobia and violent threats.

(If you are reading this article just for the petition, you can find it here.)

For many, gaming is an escape from the “real world” and a way to relieve stress. It can be almost therapeutic to insert yourself into a fantasy world in which you don’t normally belong. Unfortunately, modern-day bigotry has seeped into online communities so that for many marginalized people, even gaming can’t be an escape and they still truly do not belong. At least, that’s what bigots would like them to believe. I, myself, am not welcome in many communities because I am queer and I am a woman, but this story isn’t about me; it’s about the countless trans individuals who are being persecuted and excluded from Blizzard’s private Diablo III clans.

And there it is: "looking into the possibility she had mental health issues"

I knew it was coming.

Because the media always informs us that mental illness makes people dangerous. 

If it was 1980's, they would be immediately looking into the possibility of under the influence of illegal drugs. If it was the 1990's, they would immediately look for possible gang affiliation. If it was the 00's, they would be seeking possible terrorist connections. But now they look for the possibility of being mentally ill.
