The Wizard and Quest Points

Info From HERE

The Wizard is the newest quest giver to hand out QuestPoints. With these QuestPoints you can now buy stuff from his own QuestPoint shop.

I am happy about this as I really don't do any other questions besides The Wizard. Well...for the most part. I also do quests for Major Drills, Shinwa, and Battle Quests.

So I am really happy that the guy I go to for Quests the most is FINALLY handing out QuestPoints!

Shipping Confessions: Ryan Hardy/Mike Weston (The Following)

I don't watch many non-sci-fi or fantasy shows. Mostly I watch shows like Doctor Who or Continuum. Hardly is there a show that goes outside my usual fare that I watch. The Following is one of those rare shows that makes me go outside my usual fares.

It deals with a cult leader, Joe Carrol, escaping and then causing chaos.

The ship I will be focusing on this time is will be Ryan Hardy and Mike Weston. One cop that has an obsession with Joe while Mike is learning from the man.

We'll start off with Ryan Hardy.

Ryan Hardy was the one to catch Joe Carrol. At the beginning of the series Ryan is an alcoholic and I don't believe he had been working with the FBI for awhile. Or at least he wasn't stable. By Season 2 he isn't an alcoholic but still has his obsession with Joe Carrol continues.

Ryan's obsession with catching Joe forms the basis of his personality.

Ryan is also an agent who bends rules when it suits him. He has a sense of morality, but it seems he is always toeing the line. It's like Ryan will cross the line into a villain at the drop of the hat. Luckily that isn't the case.

Unfortunately Ryan's actions in Season 1 fuels Mike Weston to toe the line.

Mike Weston and Ryan quickly form a bond. Mike picks up lessons from Ryan and that really helps fuel for the character change in Season 2.

In Season 2 Mike lets out his darker actions. While in Season 1 Mike was able to curb his own desires and hold back Ryan, in Season 2 it is Mike who needs to be restrained. He starts to get more violent when he beats up one of the twins and then derails when he kills Gray.

Gray's death is one tense scene where I was hoping and dreading what was going to happen. Afterwards, Mike seems to recover himself but it will be interesting to see how he reacts in Season 3 after Season 2's events.

Ryan and Mike's relationship is one that forms rather quickly. As time goes on Mike uses Ryan's actions as excuses for his own. He points out that Ryan does something and therefore he can. This is a very childish thing to claim. In Season 2 it allows Mike to justify doing certain things.

When Mike's father is murdered he breaks down. Ryan does what he can to comfort the man. I think this is because Ryan knows what Mike will do if he allows his emotions to get the better of him. It is Ryan's own obsession that allows him to be sympathetic to what Mike is going through. Ryan knows how an obsession can get the better of you and slowly destroy your life.

Mike and Ryan are able to feel for each other even when they disagree. In the beginning of Season 2 Mike is especially hurt when Ryan doesn't open up to him. During Season 1 they developed such a closeness to each other that it is hard for him to fathom that closeness going away.

Ryan and Mike truly seem to care for each other and they work well as a team. With 2 Seasons of The Following, they have gone through ups and downs while improving their techniques. This show would never feel complete if one or the other died. And, with a show like The Following, it is surprising that Mike has survived this long.

What will I talk about next Shipping Confessions? We go back to the Animorphs series to look at a pretty girl that is really a deadly warrior and a peaceful person that can still do questionable things.

The Eternal Heart: Fragile Package 4

The night had seemed longer than normal. Maybe because it was the first time I was basically on my own. Or maybe it was the fact that I was having to defend Katherine from any Terminators that stopped by. I had looked for better weapons in the building and hadn’t found anything useful.

All that was useful were a few items that I used to set up an elementary alarm system. Of course the Terminators could easily avoid it if they wanted to, but at least it was there. Maybe it was my human side that wanted a sense of false reassurance.

Did that make me weak?

When the sun rose I didn’t feel any safer. Hell, I felt even more like I was in a cage with Skynet able to walk in any time that they wanted to. I held my handgun and watched over Katherine’s sleeping form. The rise and fall of her chest which hopefully meant the twins would be born.

As Katherine awoke I took care of her needs even as she kept continuing to confuse me for John Connor.

“I’m not John Connor.” I finally told her. “I’m Jash. You know, the person you hate and never want John to be with.”

“Stop trying to avoid yourself, John.” Katherine said and reached for my hand. “I believe in you.”

I realized why John would admire this woman. Even while she was in so much pain she still found it in her to encourage me. Well…to encourage John. But right now we were really the same person. I took her hand in mine and squeezed it.

“Yeah, I just don’t believe in myself. The war is hard which is why you can’t die.” I told her and she tried to squeeze back.

I then let go of her and started to feel her stomach. I didn’t know what to look for. It wasn’t like Skynet was interested in raising or killing pregnant women. Unless you counted killing them like other people. I wanted to scream in frustration. I should be able to do this for John, but I couldn’t.

I couldn’t tell if Katherine was still pregnant. I should be able to. Why didn’t I try learning more about how humans worked as much as I learned about how machines worked?

Looking down I remembered. Oh, yeah, because then I would have to deal even more with Katherine. And dealing with Katherine was hard.

But, as I looked at her, I realized that dealing with her was worth all the pain and heartache. I had never really cared when someone died. However, if she died then I would have to deal with John and I didn’t want that. So did my caring for Katherine’s life have more to do with John than me actually giving a shit about his wife?

Probably.

“I’m going, aren’t I?” Katherine asked weakly.

“No, no.” I said and stepped away from her. “You’ll live to torment me but I’m not certain about the twins.”

“I feel like I’m going. I’ve thought of what death feels like. This is it.”

“You are not dying. Not today. Not here.”

“You’ll find someone to love you, John, you’ll find someone to put your trust in. You’ll find another me.”

“Unlikely, you’re…you.”

“You have a lot of strength and if you don’t find someone you can always carry on. I know it’ll be hard for you, but you’ll be able to do it.”

“You’re not dying. Just stop talking like you’re going to go any moment now.”

“Do you know why I decided to be with you?”

“No.” I said, generally curious.

“Because I couldn’t stand to see you alone.” Katherine explained. “I saw you on Judgment Day and didn’t think you could handle things on your own. I thought that you needed to have someone to lean on. Please prove me wrong. Prove me wrong.”

“I will.” I said and her breathing slowed down.

Katherine really did love John Connor. It was in no way because she felt she would have more power or anything of the like. I didn’t expect that. I expected her to be a mean bitch. But she wasn’t.

I was lost. Everything I had thought about her was wrong. How could I think such cruel things of her? She was a human being. She deserved kindness and respect. Not only because she was John’s wife, but because she was a person.

I sat down and felt weak. I had hated her for so long that I didn’t know why I was feeling like I was losing someone I cared about. I should be able to just carry on fine. I should be worried about John’s reaction, of course, but I shouldn’t be frightened of her dying body so close to me.

Slowly I stood up and made sure I was still capable of standing. Nothing would be right once John heard the news that his wife was dead. He would never fully recover. Would he heed Katherine’s dying words? Would he take the chance to be with me?

I admit that I felt a little bit happy with the thought that John Connor and myself would finally be able to be together. I could do nothing more for Katherine, so I wouldn’t be the one to blame once she died. John and I could finally live a life together.

Katherine started screaming loudly and I looked over. Whatever was happening, she was not dying at this moment. It didn’t sound like a death cry and she wouldn’t yell out now that she was so close to death. She continued screaming and I finally knelt down beside her.

She grabbed my shoulder and I realized what was happening: Katherine Brewster wasn’t dying, she was giving birth.

Sayings Sundays (May 11, 2014)

Animorphs is a very dark children's series. It deals with topics such as that people on the opposing side aren't all evil, children changing due to the war and not always for the better, and the David Trilogy just to name a few.

But this was a children's series so there were also little gems like this in there to lighten the mood from time to time.

So I was watching a few Supernatural fanvids one day and came across one that dealt with Sam and had a nice song. I listened to the song about...never you mind how many times and each time I thought of Bruce Banner.

The song is Monster by Imagine Dragons and I HIGHLY suggest you give yourself a few hours to listen to it on repeat.

I think of Bruce Banner because he LITERALLY deals with a monster inside of him and LITERALLY deals with the possibility of becoming a monster at any given time. I chose the lyrics for this graphic because it's Bruce asking if the listener would accept him once they knew that he could turn into the Hulk and that he doesn't like that's what he is.

Sorry for it to be covered in words, but it was hard limiting myself to just the lyrics shown this time around.
