Weekly Update 4/25/2016

For those of you who are stopping by my blog for the first time and/or don't have a lot of time to keep up with my blog, this is for you.

I will be posting on some of what I consider important stuff I have blogged about this week and updates on upcoming chapters of fics/projects.

I will be attempting to post these posts once a week every Sunday, but don't be surprised if I miss a week or two (hey, I sometimes have an actual life).

Shawn Ashmore: From Animorphs to Quantum Break Giveaway (Jash's Dragon Army)

Update: This giveaway is over. I want to thank everyone who participated here. If you can't wait until next giveaway you can go to the Dragon Cave Forums where people will trade and give away eggs.

If you would like to learn more about my dragon army you can go HERE. It is constantly evolving and I would love your input on how it is progressing so far.

While the giveaway is over, feel free to discuss Quantum Break and Shawn Ashmore's career. Oh, if you want to buy the game and help support this blog, merely buy the game via the ad on the bottom of this post.
 
I first saw Shawn Ashmore in the tv show adaptation of Animorphs. The show was an abomination to the Animorphs series and I like to pretend it doesn't exist most of the time (much like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull). But I will allow mention of its existence when Ashmore is brought up.

I could've never guessed when I first saw him as Jake Berenson that he would eventually go on to do bigger and better things (better not being hard to do after the Animorphs tv show).

But go on to be Iceman in the X-Men series he did. That seems to be his biggest role to date. He was also in the show The Following as FBI Agent Mike Weston. A show that ended on a cliffhanger that I need resolved yesterday.

Recently Shawn Ashmore both voice acted and played the character of Jack Joyce in Quantum Break. He does an awesome job. Brooke Nevin (Rachel Berenson in the Animorphs tv show) is also in the game as Liam Burke's Wife.

Figuring my blog readers should get something that I can actually give away.

If you don't already have a Dragon Cave account, you can sign up for one if raising dragon eggs interests you. If you already have an account, pick an egg at will. If you don't have an account and don't want one, please share this with a friend that does.

Here are the eggs this time around:

Travels of Artictress: Jash of the Unova Region Entry #2 (White Version 2)

Entry #2: All Hail

Mistralton City is great, I guess, if you don't mind a constant stream of hail. Sometimes it's not hailing and I think the danger is all passed and then...it just starts hailing again. Besides being annoying when I'm walking around, it also interferes in battles.

I'm having a good time and then...hail. Sometimes when that happens the only thing stopping the hail is my opponent Pokemon using a move to make it rain. It's a change of weather so I guess I shouldn't be too ungrateful.

'Too' being the key word here.

Beth Wilder (Jash's Dragon Army)

This dragon has been named: Beth Wilder by me as no one decided to name her. She is so named because I realized this name wasn't taken and I wasn't going to risk losing the chance at getting it. Yes, she is named after the character from Quantum Break.

The bio I have planned for her is:

The Breaking of Rick Grimes

Many people have been up in arms about the cliffhanger at the end of The Walking Dead episode "Last Day on Earth", the Season 6 finale. Everyone had been waiting, and taking bets on, to see who would die by Negan's hand.

Negan's arrival was predicated all the way back in Season 5 and as the final episodes ticked down to his arrival, people were rightly excited.

Robert Kirkman and Scott Gimple gave the explanation that the reason the cliffhanger was there was because whoever Negan killed is the start of a new story. The current story had just finished and so they found it a good ending point.

Also Kirkman loves cliffhangers, but that's besides the point.

I agree with them on their reasoning and disagree with the people crying outrage. I admit the cliffhanger had to grow on me before I accepted it. It was such a good cliffhanger and, therefore, extremely painful.

The story that was told in the finale was one of the breaking of Rick Grimes. Rick goes from being sure of himself to a shell of a man in the course of this episode. I will follow Rick's journey of revelation from Alexandria all the way to Negan.
