Destiny Lore Toland's Bad Juju (Exotic weapon lore) - Duration: 12:23.
Toland obsessed over the power of the Traveler- and the secrets of the darkness.
His quest took him into enemy strongholds through the Inner solar system.
Scattered fragments of his Journal can be reassembled to reveal the schematic for Bad
Juju… however whenever you hold the weapon, your Ghost begins to look… delicious.
Welcome back guardians, today we are discussing the exotic pulse rifle, Bad Juju.
This video was co-written with AnonPig.
We will discuss the general lore surrounding Bad Juju, starting with the appearance of
the weapon, the lore from the exotic quest line itself and then end with the theory that
Bad Juju was Toland's failed attempt to create the Touch of Malice.
As usual the artwork has been provided by Brandon McCammey.
Please show you support by visiting his webpage and/or youtube channel.
This is myelin games and I hope you enjoy this latest destiny lore episode.
[ INTRO] Let's begin with the appearance of Bad Juju.
The most obvious feature is the inclusion of bones attached to the weapon, which seem
to resemble a bird.
Whilst I myself do not have the knowledge to identify this animal from just the skull,
there are some distinct features of the bones that may provide a clue, specifically the
curved beak.
A curved beak can indicate a bird of prey like eagles, hawks and vultures.
Why is this important, well it suits the theme of this weapon, this weapon has many attributes
of a Weapon of Sorrow (for more details about that see, my Weapon of Sorrow video) and it
is implied that wielding the weapon encourages hunger to consume the light.
The quest line reads, "Whenever you hold the weapon, your Ghost
begins to look… delicious.
It's probably best to bring this to the Gunsmith as soon as possible."
So, the Bird of Prey theme is symbolic of hunting and consuming your enemies.
In addition, the presence of bones on the weapon, represents the "witchcraft" nature
of the weapon, specifically West African spiritual traditions and beliefs, such as Vodoo.
This is reinforced by the ornament, "Hoodoom", which I assume is a play on words for "Hoodoo".
Hoodoo can be considered like a spell that can be used to Heal, exercise parapsychological
power or cause harm to a targeted victim.
Similarly, the name of the weapon, Bad juju, or more specifically Juju has it's origins
from West African traditions, where a witch-doctor could cast a spell.
In addition, the exotic perk is called "String of Curses".
So the aesthetics of the gun, with these bits of bone attached to it, plus the name of the
ornaments, hoodom, the perk, string of curses and the gun itself, juju, help create this
feeling of witchcraft.
If we then combine this knowledge with what we know about Toland, he is obsessed with
the Hive, I think it logical to conclude that the witchcraft of the Hive, the Hive rituals
and magic was involved with designing or creating Bad Juju.
In fact, it really is well suited, because it is often described that to cast these spells,
hoodoo or juju, payment must be made, and this quite accurately parallels the Hive's
relationship with the worms, the worms grant them immortality however the Hive have to
feed them for eternity otherwise they will be consumed.
So to summarise, Toland has used Hive witchcraft to create a weapon, that is extremely powerful,
yet can impact the wielder i.e. requires payment.
Which I think this is best reinforced by the previous quote, your Ghost begins to look
delicious when you wield the weapon, it is having an obvious impact on the wielder.
Before I finish speaking about the appearance of Bad juju, I must mention the ornament Dragon's
Bane.
Within Destiny's lore, the Ahamkara are considered to be Dragons, there are also Wish-dragons
in the Books of Sorrow, which may be the same or different from the Ahamkara and the word
Bane is commonly used to describe those who a right pain in the butt, for example, Crota's
Bane for Eris Morn, or Ironsbane representing SIVA.
Sooo, the fact that Bad Juju has an ornament called Dragon's Bane, I believe it safe
to speculate that Toland at least encountered the Ahamkara, if not actually killed one.
Lastly, on the topic of appearance, the three triangle symbol on the frame itself, this
symbol appears on Bad Juju, Ikora Rey's shoulder pad, and I believe also on the gyroscope
in the speaker's quarters, as well as the Invective ornament, Iconoclast.
I am not 100% what this symbol means, however my best guess may be that it is a symbol for
the Hidden.
Let's now move on to any essential lore from the exotic quest line for Bad Juju.
The exotic quest line is essential collecting Fragments of Toland's journal, which essential
leads to uncovering the schematics for bad juju, which we then re-create.
In Destiny, even though ever player can acquire every exotic, within the lore, some items
only exist once and other time many exist.
There is an original bad juju that Toland actually made, the Bad Juju we make is essential
a replica using information from his journal.
This is reinforced by the quest line when it says,
""Among other secrets, this journal contains the pattern of a weapon forged in Toland's
madness.
The Gunsmith may be able to make use of it."
Futhermore, the quest implies that Toland almost wanted us to find his journal and make
this weapon.
It reads, "The Journal's scattered fragments recognize
each other - perhaps Toland always meant for them to be reassembled.
Unfortunately, you have no idea how to access the data."
Despite the possibility of Toland wanting us to find his journal, the quest also implies
that Toland's journal has been lost for some time, it reads,
"The Journals of Toland have been sought after by the warlocks in the Tower for many
generations.
This journal has been missing for centuries" However, there is a potential conflicting
peace of dialogue in the mission lost to light, Eris says,
" Hold fast to Toland's journal.
It saw me through my time in the Dark."
Sooo, has Eris been in possession of at least some part of Toland's journal but just never
told anyone??
She obviously had it when she trapped in the hellmouth.
I think it possible that Eris has been holding on to parts of Toland's journal secretly,
however, I do not think that she had the parts of the journal that related to Bad Juju.
Regardless, eventually we reach a point in the questline where we must exchange a "Black
market coupon" with Xur, the Agent of the Nine for a "Darkness-infused weapon frame".
The quest reads, "Obtain a darkness infused weapon frame
from Xur.
"If you want to go through with this, I hope you are stronger than Toland.
Bring me a Darkness-marked weapon frame from Xur.
Take this coupon to him.
No doubt he'll still expect some payment for his trouble.
I'll send the Journal back to Ikora Rey, so it can be… contained."
I do have to wonder whether Toland also used the Xur, or the Nine to obtain a darkness
infused weapon frame to create Bad Juju from himself, or whether he had his own method,
likely to do with understanding the Hive.
My impression is, that Guardians use the Nine to produce the frame because we do not have
the knowledge that Toland did to use Hive magic.
If Toland could actually infuse a weapon frame with Darkness, this is some serious Hive understanding
and power.
But if he could not and also used the Nine, this has an equally exciting consequence,
how do the Nine infuse weapons with the Darkness.
Regardless, the Darkness infused frame takes it affect immediately on the wielder, the
wielder is now hungry for the light, as I said before the ghost begins to look delicious.
Guardians resist the urge to eat their ghost, bath the weapon in light and are eventually
rewarded with a replica Bad Juju.
I now want to move on to the Touch of Malice theory and I want to go back this idea that
the weapon is hungry and it influences the wielder to the point where their ghost looks
delicious.
These traits, hungry and influencing the wielder, are specific trait of the weapons of sorrows.
If you remember back to my Weapons of Sorrows video, I explained the 4 characteristics of
a weapon of sorrow, using Thorn and necrochasm as a reference point.
They are; 1.
Must initially be a guardian weapon 2.
Altered by Hive rituals.
3.
Hunger 4.
Influences the wielder.
I think you could argue either way that Bad Juju is or is not a weapon of sorrow, however
what is interesting is the similarities it shares with Touch of Malice.
Both Touch of Malice and Bad Juju feed off the death of your enemies, Touch of Malice
returns health with consecutive kills and Bad Juju feeds your super with killing.
The creation of both items requires knowledge from Toland's journal, which is also very
unique, during the quest line for Touch of Malice, eris says,
"Toland's Journals speak of three powerful relics, guarded within the innermost sanctum
of Oryx's Dreadnaught.
I have never been able to parse their purpose, but perhaps they relate to these mysterious
fragments…
I just don't know if the journal's writer is the man who descended into the pit by my
side or the man who went mad in its depths."
Eris Morn
And lastly, they are both scout rifle frames, yes, even though Bad Juju is a pulse rifle,
it's frame is a scout rifle, perhaps this is a hint that Bad Juju and Touch of Malice
are meant to be the same weapon.
The interesting thing is, in the Bad Juju quest line, it is very specific in saying
that the journal contains the pattern to create Bad Juju, in the Touch of Malice quest line,
we only use knowledge from the journal to create Touch of Malice, Toland does not reference
Touch of Malice, Toland never created Touch of Malice before, Eris Morn is in fact the
person who named Touch of Malice.
So, I think there are two distinct possibilities, Toland was trying to create Touch of Malice,
however Bad juju was the best he could come up with as he could not secure the three relics
required, the Blade of Famine, The Shroud of Ir Anuk and the Ravenous Heart.
Consequently, he left the schematics behind hoping that guardians would eventually acquire
the relics from defeating Oryx and his ascendant Hive.
Eris Morn would combine all the notes from his journal to help us forge Touch of Malice.
The second option, is that Eris is equally skilled at understanding the use of Hive magic
and was just able to take the information from Toland's journal and the books of sorrow
(which is the calcified fragments we collect for her) to form Touch of Malice.
If you prefer option two, I think it is important to note, that Eris could not have created
Touch of Malice without Toland's journal.
The only way we could truly discover Toland's intentions is to have full access to Toland's
journal… and I cannot be sure that Ikora Rey and the warlocks, or Eris Morn have released
the journal in its entirety.
That concludes this latest destiny lore episode.
If you would like to support the channel leave the word "Journal" to symbolise the importants
of Toland's journal and the secrets it holds about the Hive.
As usual it has been a pleasure this is myelin games.

Macaroni Penguin Facts for Kids Penguins 101 #penguin - Duration: 8:35.
Macaroni Penguins have it...and they flaunt it.
They are blessed with several flashy features that make them stand out amongst other species
of penguins.
These features include a bright yellow-orange crest that resembles a pair of bushy eyebrows,
red eyes, a thick dark orange beak with a fleshy patch of pink skin on each side and
large pink feet.
But don't let their good looks fool you, when it comes to defending their territory, Macaroni
males are very agressive and won't shy away from a fight.
Hi, welcome to Animal Facts.
Today, we discuss the crested creature that looks like a lover but is really a fighter,
the Macaroni Penguin.
Let's get ready to rumble!
Wait, before we get started take a moment to subscribe to get more fun fauna facts,
and click the bell icon to make sure you don't miss a single fact.
10.
The habitat of the macaroni penguin ranges from the Subantarctic Peninsula including
southern Chile, the South Orkney Islands, South Sandwich Islands, South Georgia and
the Falklands, to the Antarctic Peninsula, including mainland Antarctica, South Shetland,
Heard, McDonald, Crozet, Prince Edward, Marion, Bouve and Kerguelen.
When it's time to forage for food, they prefer to "eat out" traveling north to the islands
near Australia, southern Brazil, New Zealand and South Africa.
9.
The macaroni population is estimated to be about 18 million, the largest of any species
of penguin.
That said, the population is believed to have decreased by at least 30 percent in the last
30 years.
This decline has resulted in the species being classified as "vulnerable" on the International
Union for the Conservation of Nature's List of Threatened Species.
Some factors that are thought to contribute to the decrease include interaction with fisheries,
marine pollution and reductions in their food supply caused by climate change and commercial
fishing.
Conservation efforts have been implemented in several breeding colonies and many of the
islands that are home to breeding populations have been classified as protected reserves.
8.
Who says there aren't any good men out there?
Not female macaroni penguins!
There are more males than females, and the excess of males enables the females to begin
breeding at an earlier age, and gives them the luxury of choosing a "more experienced"
mate.
Females typically begin to breed at five years old, while males tend to reach maturity at
six years of age.
The male performs an elaborate courtship dance that begins with a bow and throbbing noises.
Next, it raises its head and stretches its neck and beak up until they are fully extended.
Finally, it brays loudly and moves its head from side to side.
Macaroni penguin pairs prove to be very faithful.
About 75% of them will breed together the next year, a statistic that puts marriages
amongst humans to shame.
Mating season begins in October, and ends in November when it is time to lay eggs.
After breeding season, they scatter into the oceans for the next six months.
7.
Normally, a macaroni mom will lay two eggs, the first of which is very small and highly
unlikely to survive.
The incubation period is five weeks, split into three 12 day sessions.
During the first session, both parents share sitting duties.
In the second, the male then returns to sea for food, and the female tends the egg alone.
Then in the third, the male returns and the female ships out and doesn't come back until
the chick is hatched.
When it comes to chick rearing, the male macaroni is a stay-at-home dad, caring for its offspring
for about 25 days after hatching.
The chick depends on its father for warmth and protection, while the female gathers food
for it.
Once the adult male has fulfilled his fatherly duties, the chick becomes part of a crèche,
which is a colony made up of chicks grouped together to stay warm and protected.
At about 60 days old, the chick gets its adult feathers and is ready to navigate the sea
on its own.
6.
Currently, the home of largest breeding population of macaronis are the Crozet Islands which
are home base to approximately 2.2 million amorous penguin couples, followed by Kerguelen
with 1.8 million pairs, Heard and South Georgia Islands with 1 million pairs each and Marion
Island with 290,000 pairs.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Patagonian shelf region hosts about 25,000 couples and
the Falkland Islands population is comprised of about 500 couples.
The remainder of the macaroni populace is divided amongst at least 12 colonies in Chile,
the largest being Diego Ramirez with an estimated 15,600 pairs.
Man, that's a LOT of lovebirds!
5.
The species name of the macaroni penguin is Eudyptes Chrysolophus which is a combination
of the genus name made up of the Ancient Greek words eu "good," and dyptes "diver"
and the specific epithet chrysolophus made up of the words chryse "golden," and lophos
"crest."
But I'll bet you're wondering where it got its common name of macaroni?
Well, it was coined in the early 19th century by English sailors who likened the penguin's
bright yellow-orange crest to the 18th-century fashion trend called maccaronism.
Maccaronists were men who dressed flamboyantly and adorned themselves with tall wigs, jewelry
and other accessories.
If you've ever sung "Yankee Doodle" you have paid homage to the maccaronist in
all his glory!
4.
Since they live in colonies, macaroni penguins display a wide variety of social behaviors
which peak during breeding season and drop sharply when the males go back to sea.
To protect their territory Macaroni penguins "go medieval."
They engage in "bill jousting," locking their bills and wrestling until one of them
overtakes the other.
They also use their flippers to strike each other and peck the nape of their opponent's
neck.
The "slender walk" is a submissive behavior in which the bird flattens its feathers, places
its flippers in front of itself and hunches its head and neck while moving through the
colony.
The penguins also assume this posture when incubating or tending the nest.
3.
Everyone knows that penguins are the snappiest dressers in the animal kingdom.
The macaroni penguin keeps its black and white coat fresh by molting once a year.
Molting is a four-week process by which new feathers push older feathers out resulting
in a healthy, shiny coat.
During molting, penguins avoid the water, so instead of foraging the sea for food, they
live off fat stores in their bodies.
To keep the feathers protected from the elements, the birds must "get oiled up" or preen.
Preening is a process by which they use their bills to get oil from a gland adjacent to
the tail.
They then spread the oil all over their bodies, conditioning and insulating them from the
salty water and frigid climate.
2.
Macaroni penguins eat more marine life than any other seabird, with a diet mainly consisting
of small fish and crustaceans like krill, shrimp and crabs.
They also consume a large number of cephalopods such as squid, octopi, and cuttlefish.
It is estimated that they devour 9.2 million tons of krill per year and average 4 to 16
krill or 40 to 50 small crustaceans per catch.
When they have chicks to feed, they forage all day, every day.
As the chicks mature, overnight tips become more frequent.
During the winter migration, macaronis dive deeper, more efficiently, and for longer stretches
of time than in the summer breeding season.
These foraging expeditions primarily occur during daylight hours, making winter dives
more difficult due to shorter days.
The penguins sometimes make night dives, but these dives are peak at much shallower depths.
1.
Scientists have found DNA evidence suggesting that the macaroni penguin is closely related
to the royal penguin.
It is believed to have branched off from the royal, forming a new species about 1.5 million
years ago.
Though they are widely considered to be separate species, some ornithologists consider the
royal to be a subspecies of the macaroni based on the similarities in their DNA sequences.
The two species are nearly spitting images of each other, except the royal penguin has
a white face and the macaroni has a black one.
Macaroni penguins have also been known to interbreed with a subspecies called the southern
rockhopper.
In 1987, an Australian Antarctic Research Expedition discovered three hybrids on Heard
and Marion Islands.

THE BIGGEST MUSIC FESTIVAL EVER | My Aspen Experience - Duration: 7:10.
Hey guys! It's Esther here.
Welcome to my channel.
Today, I'm gonna be talking to you guys about my experience at the Aspen Music Festival.
So I had the privilege of attending the Aspen Music Festival in 2015
and fortunately for me
I received full scholarship
which means that I did not have to pay tuition or room and board.
Aspen is a very long program.
You either stay there for 4 weeks for 1 session
or 8 weeks for two sessions.
Now I had to stay there for 8 weeks because
if you receive scholarship
um it is a requirement you stay there for the full session.
I was also accepted into the Wu Han and Finckel Chamber Program
which was an eye-opener.
I personally had such a blast
in Aspen
but I'm pretty sure there are other people, other students
who had very different experiences than I did because Aspen is such a big festival.
There are over 600 students that participate
and the students are either from different states in America or other countries.
So it is a very international atmosphere.
So I'm gonna be talking about Aspen in different categories
just like I did in my Banff video.
I'm comparing my ratings to other music festivals I've been to.
Personal Room.
I would give Aspen a
3.9/5 for their personal room.
For Aspen, I stayed in the Marolt Ranch...(I think that's what it's called).
You share your dorm room with 2 other people...usually.
How it's structured is that there is a front room
which is the single room
and then you enter into the washroom
which then leads to a bigger back room
which is for 2 people.
I lived in the single room.
The good thing is
you get your own space. YAY!
The bad thing is
your roommates have to always walk past your room to get to their room
which means that if you're sleeping late at night and your roommates are coming in later
they will always have to go through your room while you're sleeping.
Now I did not mind that as much
but it's not the greatest experience.
Aspen does not provide bedsheets.
Now if you are going to attend the Aspen Summer Festival
I would highly recommend you guys
to bring your own pillow.
There's also a fridge
which is really nice because if you go to the grocery store and you get
your favourite drink
you can stock - stock it all up in the fridge
and always take it out with you to rehearsals.
FOOOOOOD <3
As you all know
I love food.
This is from my experience, OK GUYS?!
I would give it a
3.7/5 for their food.
I think it's just like your everyday cafeteria food.
They had the basic salad bar and veggies
and for drinks they had the very basic soda dispensers
and my go-to-drink there was always blue Gatorade.
Actually, blue Gatorade mixed with red Gatorade.
You eat a lot of hot dogs, pizzas, sometimes steak, sometimes burgers
but there's not a lot of like
Asian food.
Now I will talk about practise rooms.
I would give it a
5/5.
They have this building which is a row of practise rooms.
It's very small.
What I also like about it is that it's clean.
Teachers.
I would give Aspen
a 6/5 for their teachers.
Unlike Banff where every student goes through the same teachers
in Aspen you have to select which teacher you wanna study with.
I really loved my selection of teachers
and I loved what they had to say and what advice they had to give me.
I'm also talking about the conductors that you get to meet.
I was placed in the chamber orchestra. There were a lot of great charismatic conductors
and it was very inspiring.
Now the atmosphere of the program.
I would give the atmosphere 4/5.
But it really depends how much you immerse yourself into the community.
Compared to other music festivals I've gone to
I would say Aspen is definitely
a more competitive environment.
But Aspen is like living in a city.
There are so many things to see, so many people to meet
but you don't have all the time in the world for that.
For opportunities, I would give Aspen
a 5/5.
Whichever orchestra you get placed into you'll do a lot of performing.
If you wanna perform solo you-
I think you have to sign up to perform but
most of the time you would get the spot.
And it really depends how hard you push yourself so
if you really wanna perform lots of solo works
you can definitely do that.
Recreations.
I would give Aspen a
4.2/5 for their recreations.
There is a little centre where you can
swim and also ice skate with your friends
but you also have to take a bus for that.
There's a lot of great hiking trails in Aspen, of course.
But I personally did not go on any of them.
There are thousands of concerts happening in Aspen and as a student you do get access to them.
And Aspen in general is just a beautiful area
where you can go into the town
and see a lot of beautiful stores as well as eat some really good ice cream at Paradise.
(I think that's what it's called)
Overall, Aspen was a great experience for me.
I got to meet tons of people.
I think it's definitely something that a lot of musicians should experience
because you're immersed in this environment with hundreds of other musicians
who have the same passion and drive as you.
Anyways, so that's the end of my video for Aspen.
If you guys have any questions about Aspen or
about other summer music festivals
or anything related to violin or classical music
please go ahead and ask me :)
If you guys like this video, please give it a thumbs up
subscribe or comment.
Anddd...
I guess I'll see you guys in the next video.
Bye!

Alice in Wonderland is not about Drugs (But it is trippy as hell) - Duration: 12:39.
Alice in Wonderland isn't about drugs.
Now, I know that may come as a surprise to some people.
It's pretty standard internet fair to point at Alice, with all the trippy visuals and
the mushrooms and the Hookah caterpillar, and declare that it was REALLY all about drugs
this whole time, oh ho ho, and Disney made a movie about it!
But it's not.
It's not about drugs.
I want to talk about Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass
a little bit today, what they are really about, where this idea of them being about drugs
came from, and why I find it to kind of be bullshit.
So, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is an 1865 novel written by English novelist
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carrol.
The sequel, Through the Looking Glass, was published in 1871.
I'm going to focus mainly on these two original books, and not the dozens and dozens and dozens
of adaptations and remakes that exist.
For the record, both books are in the public domain, so it's very easy to find pdf copies
of them on the internet.
Almost every movie version of Alice, including the Disney one, splices together elements
and plot points from both of the books, rather than simply adapting one story or the other.
It's not particularly important to know which characters and events happen in each,
since they are very often published as a pair anyway.
But we're going to have a quick overview.
-
In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice is a young girl who is in the garden of her
home playing with her cat Dinah when she sees a white rabbit in a waistcoat run past, apparently
late to an appointment.
She follows the rabbit down the rabbit hole and thus into wonderland.
What follows is a quintessential example of literary nonsense, filled with word play,
puns, and absurdity as Alice works her way through Wonderland.
She eats an odd bite of cake and drinks a potion which change her size.
She cries so hard she creates a sea.
She recites some poetry she had to memorize for school buts gets it all wrong.
She meets a mouse that won't answer her call in English, so she tries talking to it
in French.
She wonders if this assumed French mouse came over with William the Conqueror, because Alice
doesn't know much about when things in history happened.
They reach the shore where other animals are.
The mouse then gives a lecture on william the conqueror and the animals agree to a Caucus
race to dry off (Because Alice doesn't know what a caucus actually is.)
Alice meets the Caterpillar, who seems to speak in riddles, correcting her grammar and
not making sense.
She meets the Duchess, who yells a lot and seems to ignore her baby.
She meets the Cheshire Cat, who again, doesn't make a lot of sense, and then the Mad Hatter
and March Hare.
More and more riddles.
She plays a VERY silly game of croquet with the Queen of Hearts where the rules don't
make sense and the Queen cheats a lot.
She meets a Mock Turtle (a pun on Mock Turtle soup, apparently Alice thought Mock Turtles
were an animal).
Then the world's silliest court scene, where everything is unfair and doesn't make sense,
and then Alice goes back home, waking up as if from a dream.
Set presumably about half a year later, in Through the Looking Glass, Alice is playing
inside the house with two cats, Dinah's kittens, when she contemplates the mirror
in the room.
She finds that she is able to walk through the mirror and back into Wonderland.
She discovers a mostly nonsense poem, Jabberwocky, which can only be read if you hold it up to
a mirror.
She also finds that the chess pieces in the room have come to life.
What follows is another adventure in mostly absurdity, though if you know how, you can
actually use Looking Glass as a step by step guide for a real chess game.
Alice plays the part of one of the white pawns.
She wanders through the garden of living flowers, meets Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, talks to
Humpty Dumpty, and eventually makes all the way across the "board" and becomes a queen
herself.
The Red and White queens throw her a party, and then confuse her with riddles and wordplay.
This actually results in Alice physically confronting the Red Queen and "Capturing
her", putting the Red King into "Checkmate" unintentionally, and thus, she wakes up in
her arm chair back home having won the game.
Quick recommendation, if you want to get all of the little wordplay and puns and references
in Alice and Looking Glass, I recommend the Annotated Alice by Martin Gardner.
It's awesome.
- These books are pretty strange.
So, if not a psychedelic reflection about a weird acid trip, or whatever, what's up
with these books?
Why are they so weird?
Well, Carrol said he wrote the book after he and a friend spent a day on a river trip
with the 3 young daughters of Henry Liddell in 1862.
During their journey, Carrol entertained the girls with a made up nonsense story about
a girl named Alice.
Alice Liddell was so entranced that she told Carrol he should publish it.
And so he did.
He spent a few years refining the story before it was finally published, and the real Alice
got her copy.
So on the surface, it's just that- a silly story meant to amuse children, a celebration
of imagination and childhood silliness.
But there are some underlying themes in these books.
The encounters Alice has have a sort of pattern to them- Adults in the books, whether they
are the Queen of Hearts or the White Queen, the Duchess or the Hatter, often speak in
riddles.
They make up rules that don't make sense and refuse to explain them.
The white rabbit is obsessed with never being late, and much of the word play or silliness
comes from Alice not understanding adult or unfamiliar concepts (like the Mock Turtle
or a Caucus race.)
And so the books become a very silly exploration of how a child, viewing the adult world, might
feel confused and lost.
Wonderland is Adulthood cloaked in familiar childhood clothes.
Nursery Rhymes and game board pieces doing a fumbling pantomime of adulthood, discussing
mathematical concepts and latin grammar, through the eyes of a child who doesn't understand
it.
There are many things that can be pulled from Alice- ideas of innocence, of escapism, of
identity and sense of self, of intentionally bucking order in favor of disorder.
But none of those things are drugs.
(Sidenote: There is a whole other issue about Carrol's….relationship with the Liddell
daughters, and his...fondness for young girls in general.
This is a whole separate debate, and it gets kinda messy with contemporary views of childhood
and adulthood and whether there was anything...untoward about his fondness for them.
But that's really not what we're talking about today.
)
- So, why do people think this is a story about
drugs?
Carrol wasn't known for opium use, or even heavy drinking.
He had no exposure to psychedelics (magic mushrooms wouldn't be discovered by Europeans
until 1955) So why?
I think the easiest answer is that people want stories to make sense.
I want stories to make sense.
I spent a lot of money going to college to get a degree in "Making stories make sense."
We want there to be a reason that things happen in stories, and so when a story feels as random
and silly and surreal as Alice, we want to figure out what it's REALLY about.
This is kind of the underlying idea behind surrealism in general- creating art and meaning
out of the absurd and random images of dreams and unreality.
[Side note, there is an edition of Alice with illustrations by Salvador Dali, which is...amazing.]
And thanks to the culture of the 1960s and 1970s, there is a heavy association between
reality-bending images and drug use, especially hallucinogens.
And depending on which adaptation you are looking at, some movies really play up this
trippy psychedelic aesthetic for Alice.
But I think there's another level to this one, and one that I find much more grating.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a story for children, especially for girls.
And there is a certain segment of the population, especially among young adults on the internet,
who really seem to enjoy taking things aimed at children and declaring NO, this thing isn't
for kids, it's actually FOR ME, and slapping an edgy dark interpretation on top of it,
however sloppily.
Fan theories like...Ash is in a coma all along, or all the Rugrats are dead and Angelica is
just imagining them, and...yeah, a huge slice of the Brony fandom declaring that adult men
are the real audience, they aim at appropriating and co-opting child media for adult consumption
And there's something about that which leaves a sour taste in my mouth over all.
- I don't think there's anything inherently
bad about reimagining child stories in more adult ways.
But I do think it somewhat misses the point when people begin to insist that these mature
reimaginings are the CORRECT or more valid interpretation, especially if they lead to
the exclusion of children from that media space.
With Alice in particular, I think the story gives adult readers a chance to empathize
with children, not as dolls or objects of cuteness, but as people interacting with a
confusing and strange world as they grow up.
It is an opportunity to revisit childhood, with all it's familiar characters and uncertainty
and wonder, and rather than corrupt that story, I think it should be embraced.
I'm going to leave you with the end of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Alice's adult sister, having heard her story, lays back, and herself begins to dream, of
Wonderland and of her sister Alice.
And This is what it says, "Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of
hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through
all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would
gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many
a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would
feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering
her own child-life, and the happy summer days."
And that is what Wonderland is about.

My only emotion right now is shock
I'm just trying to comprehend the things that happend
I think I'll have to watch it 5 times more to understand what happened

Maybe everything will be clear when 'Not Today' will be released
When everything is gonna be clear? NOT TODAY
I just don't understand how they can do this
They are killing fans literally from the first frame

(Racheal Robinson) Charlie one, six, lima, lima, zero, two.
So first of all,
not everybody in the Air Force flies airplanes.
Only like 2% of the Air Force actually fly planes,
everybody else supports the pilots, maintains the aircraft,
supports the personnel, so my biggest thing when they said
no, I'm the chaplain assistant
or I do IT, I don't fly a plane,
You're good, thank you so much.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Hey, no problem.
Thanks, worked out great. See ya'.
I joined the military for stability.
Growing up, we were on welfare, my dad was in prison,
we had a pretty-- I guess, pretty unstable.
So I joined the military for stability, and I really hope
that me being part of the Telling Project
will bridge the gap between civilian and military
and this proverbial curtain that people don't understand.
And by telling my story, hopefully bridge that gap.
[bass, drums, keyboard & marimba play in bright rhythm]
(Jonathan Wei) Since 2008 we have done 35 performances across the country.
And what the Telling Project does is, we create performances
in which military veterans and military family members
have the opportunity to speak to their communities
about their experiences in and around the military.
What I have done since 2007, 2008, is essentially
to interview military veterans and military family members
and then to script from those interviews
and facilitate these performances.
So essentially, the creative process is 3 stages.
The first stage is the interview stage.
Ready to go?
I'm ready to go.
Okay, I'll start us recording then.
I've probably interviewed 500 vets at this point, and it is
an impossibly stupid mistake to say that I've seen it all.
(Racheal) So my mom was convinced, and 5 other families were convinced
that we had to go to Belize to escape Y2K.
(Jonathan) Wow, that's not a bad gig.
Right, like we had to go to Belize. Right?
Anyways, we get to Belize, find out the job she had lined up
didn't, didn't work out.
(Racheal) He asked the questions 'cause he wanted,
he really wanted to understand, he wanted to hear my story,
and I also think he was asking the questions
'cause he knew that it was worthy enough to be told
and he wanted us, he wanted to listen to that.
I said well, I'd like to get on that deployment.
They had a slot for 25 uniform, yes, we'll put you in that slot.
And we actually drove through some of the wreckage
from the Gulf War and that was actually really, that's when
it kind of set in, like oh, I'm here, I'm in the desert,
I'm deployed now, like this is real, this is really happening.
It's not every day you get to be
listened to your story so intently then, on top of that,
create a script and then get to perform.
It's something that, I'm getting goose bumps
it's so cool. I'm so excited!
Like I said, this is our starting point.
I've got plenty to work with here
Once we've interviewed all of them,
and the second stage of the creative process is scripting.
And what happens in the third phase is that we'll then
transition to an actual performance building.
(Racheal) We just got the script 3 days ago.
I read through it like 4 times; reading all the other stories
that the other service members have put in is really fascinating.
So many different experiences, yet so many like experiences.
I'm really excited for the rehearsals.
It's going to be grueling, it's going to be challenging,
it's going to be inspiring, and I'm excited to be a part of it.
So we're going to call this downstage. Right? Downstage,
That over there is upstage.
It's stage right, which is your right,
and stage left, which is your left.
Easily one of the most gratifying parts of my job
that I walk into a room like a rehearsal room, a stranger,
and within 5 days we go,
or 6 days we go through this rehearsal process
and we become really close.
There were some days I didn't know
if we were going to have our next meal.
I knew I had to take care of myself. I joined for stability.
(Max) I think it gives people an experience of a moment
and I think that they carry that moment with them
and that moment does something, it fuels something.
I think that a lot of people that we work with
become bigger in the process.
That's what I want, I just want people to feel grounded
in their communities, which is what coming home is.
It was all kind of exciting at first.
I mean, you go to the St. Paul-Minneapolis airport
and you get a ticket, you fly into Jefferson City,
and then they herd you toward a bus, but you're
all in civilian clothes, and you're feeling kind of free.
And then you pull into Fort Leonard Wood.
(woman) Maggots get off that bus! (man) Move it! Move it!
Who the hell do you think you are?
Get going! Get going! Let's go!
(Racheal) Every person in the military can remember basic training.
Basic training is the pinnacle, I guess you could say
of your military career-- everybody has to go through it.
Did I tell you to pick up your bag? Put it down!
Are you not listening to me?
Are you hard of hearing?
Pick it up! Put it down!
Pick it up!
Put it down!
Pick it up!
Put it down! Down!
Up!
Up!
Down!
Up!
Down!
I was in shock...
[laughter] literally, shock.
If I had come across a soldier today on the battlefield
that looked like I did then, I would lay them on their back,
I would elevate their feet, and I would treat them for shock.
(Max) One of the things that people talk about a lot
when they step out of the military is the ways in which
it's go, go, go, go, go.
Then they get to civilian life, and everything kind of slows down.
What I think we're thinking about when we tell these stories
and we kind of push on, we push through them,
you want people to kind of understand that this is
an incredibly intense overload of experiences
that a lot of veterans undergo.
It's looking great and everything, but it needs to be a lot snappier.
And so the moment that the person in front of you
has stopped speaking, you start speaking.
This has been a stellar pace guys, really, really great work. Thank you.

What is this book called Mom?

Good job!

He's always been the positive light in my life,

(Racheal) Being a part of this experience, I think, will give me confidence
to maybe pursue some more artistic endeavors.
I never really thought of myself as very artistic,
so it's pretty cool, it's pretty inspiring.
I was in Anaconda too, Balad, they called it "Mortaritaville."
So we get there, and we literally just had the brief
of what to do when there's a mortar attack.
So we get out, hangin' out, me and my best friend Donkey
are just smokin', jokin', whatever.
All the sudden, "Incoming! Incoming! Incoming!"
We all scramble, we all forget
what the heck we were just told 2 seconds ago.
We find the bunker.
(Max) One of the things that's really fascinating for me is,
how is it that military experiences is spoken about
when it's not intimate, and it's kind of bookended?
It's either veterans are broken, or they're heroes,
and those are the 2 bookends.
And I've never spoken to a veteran
who is either of those poles.
There's so much complexity in between.
What we did in Iraq was just bare bones.
We did prevention, we did education.
I had to dodge rockets too;
I could have died, but it was war,
and it was the most meaningful work I've ever done.
(Racheal) There's a stereotype of what a veteran should look like
and I think having a very diverse cast
helps break that stereotype; that veterans come
in all shapes and sizes and age groups and everything like that.
What I do remember...
[with emotion] was the blood on my boots.
I kept cleaning it off,
cleaning it off, cleaning it off.
And an NCO said, "What are you doing?"
He said, "It's a christening,
it's to remind you of the war."
(Max) All of us become really close, and part of it
is the intensity of the process, and part of it is also that
we're sharing with each other vulnerabilities and fears
and resilience and triumph, like we're going through
such an incredible range of human emotions in that space.
There's no other word for it, I think, than love,
you end up loving each other in that space, it becomes really,
really kind of intimate and personal and beautiful.
I think one of the things that happens in this rehearsal
is that you stop hearing each other for the first time-- you
stop listening as though it's the first time you've heard it.
But people in that audience are not going to have heard this before,
and it's going to be this assault on their senses.
It's going to be this kind of like, [visceral exclamation]
And I just want to thank you very, very much for it
and know I'm very grateful to work with you,
and that I'm really, really, really happy with where we are.
Hopefully giving people just a small insight into the lives
of service members and veterans,
we've had good and bad experiences,
maybe it'll just give a little
piece of what we do and why we do it.

(Mark Rivard) My introduction into kind of the action sports world,
skateboarding and skiing was very young.
Just as a kid being able to ride my skateboard down the driveway
and hit a ramp with a couple of bricks
and a piece of wood was like, thrilling.
In 2003, I was skiing in Colorado, and I blew out my knee
and had to move back to Minnesota from Colorado.
I lived out there as a ski bum,
and my first major knee surgery was completely debilitating.
I ended up having to move in with my mom,
I was living in her basement, and I picked up my first board,
and I painted that white, and I grabbed a Sharpie
and drew the Minneapolis skyline with that.
And from there I started drawing more and more boards
and working with a local skate shop,
and it turned into drawing hundreds.

So this board is my very first skateboard from my injury,
when I was first initially laid up and after surgery,
this was the first board I drew-- it started it all.
That led to this one, which is
a little more refined version, very similar.
Again it's just all black, Ultra Fine.
This is one that's gone very commercial.
It's probably the most well-known of my artwork.
I have actually probably 5 or 6 different versions
of the Minneapolis skyline on a skateboard 'cause
I realized like, the first one wasn't exceptionally good,
so I kept redrawing that until I kind of had it figured out.
And then the ideas just kind of came from looking at
skateboard companies and not necessarily
looking at the team riders but like, who were the artists
and what were the graphics-- it was just a flood of ideas.

I was drawing with all kinds of different mediums, but
after trial and error, you start to realize that the marker,
the Sharpie, that's the one that worked the best.
And the ink was manipulated
in ways that you could kind of work it
almost like a paintbrush, but it stayed on the board
was the most important part, so it was kind of a necessity
that that was the marker I stuck with and continued to work with.

In 2007, Sharpie emailed me
and said, we'd love to have a feature of you on our blog
and I started peppering Sharpie with ideas
about how they could use artists as endorsed athletes in a sense.
And then they started sending me a couple pens here and there,
will you test this product out for us, will you see what this one does?
And I would give them feedback on the markers, and I learned
a lot over the years about how to manipulate the pens
and really work with them artistically.
Then in 2009 they started the Sharpie Squad
and it was a handful of artists kind of worldwide
that were sort of endorsed in a way.
And then in 2011, I was asked to be part
of the Stars with Sharpie ad campaign.
The campaign was launched in the "New York Times,"
so it was a big deal, it kind of went from like zero to 60
in terms of an art career.
Sharpies, "Mount Sharpie" as it's been dubbed.
When I was endorsed by Sharpie, and I started
doing the educational work, they were pretty thrilled
with what that was doing and just how it was,
just like how positive that type of thing was
and I think they really appreciated
the direction I went after the ad campaign.
Because of that campaign I was, suddenly had a ton of exposure.
From that, I was able to get myself
into all kinds of different scenarios.
For educational purposes, we've got Twin Tips.
During my year with them like the big limited edition thing
was the 80's Glam colorway.
It's got Metallics, of course the most important pen,
the Sharpie Ultra Fine, these are the detail makers.
These ones the kids absolutely love
'cause they're like big paintbrushes.
I was getting asked to go into schools and come talk to kids,
and I started working with a teacher in Woodbury
and we kind of created this curriculum,
and I was teaching skateboard art at that point.
[organ & bass play in bright rhythm]
Alright you guys, so, my name is Mark Rivard,
I'm a professional artist.
I started off designing skateboards.
My first piece of artwork was an illustration on a skateboard.
♪ ♪
I work with students all over of many different organizations,
and what I do is bring blank skateboards and Sharpies to kids
and have them create artwork.
I guess like it need to be inspired.
Like what is inspiration, what does that even mean?
We talk a lot about opportunity, we talk about
what the idea of being inspired is,
how certain inspirations can turn into a career.
It's that emotion that gets you to want to do something.
It's the thing that makes you want to go skateboarding. You know?
I really am inspired by this art, this art thing is
interesting to me, this is something I could do and pursue
and have maybe a, have a chance at. You know?
Over time, it developed
into a lot more structured curriculum-style programming.
Because of the curriculum we had developed, it was working,
and it's been incredibly successful.
Now I've been all over the country, all over the world,
and the kids are really excited
about what they're going to create.
When they walk out of the room with a skateboard under their arm,
they feel very empowered, and that's kind of been the basis
for why the programs and Rivard Art Education in general
has experienced the success it's had.
In this board I think for cohesiveness
you probably want that figure...
Right there and then...
Yeah, yup, right towards the middle there.

more important for me personally than Rivard Art Education.

I started to kind of play around a little bit with canvasses,

and I started loving to shoot photos,
and I wanted to kind of incorporate different mediums,
so I do a lot of mixed media stuff.
Then I started getting into oils, I started painting oils
about a year-and-a-half ago, and that's
really kind of dominated a lot of my practice recently.

(Desdamona) I never see myself as just, I'm the leader and you follow me.
I always see myself as a student when I walk in the door
because I know that they know things I don't know,
and I know they can teach me things.
Our first category that we're gonna actually work with
is nursery rhymes, and so I want to hear from everybody
like some ideas or some of the nursery rhymes
that you know of from your childhood. Yeah.
(male student) "Humpty Dumpty." (Desdamona) "Humpty Dumpty," good one.
I walk the kids through a process of brainstorming ideas
around what nursery rhymes they know,
what playground games and songs they're familiar with
and then we think of things that are
problems and issues in the community.
(female student) Women not having the same equal rights as men.
And it's usually a way to get young writers
and beginning writers to not be afraid
to get something on the page.
I would love for you to read, if you want to,
you can read your whole piece or part of it.
Mine, I made about bullying.
So, "Twinkle, twinkle little star
"Shine no more for who you are
"Long ago you shone so brightly
"You never thought to fight so slightly."
(Desdamona) The exercise I'm doing is related to my new album,
"No Man's Land," where I have a series of nursery rhymes
that I wrote for modern times
that are not recorded on the album
but are on an insert.
I worked with an illustrator, Angel Hawari,
who does amazing work.
I'd give her the nursery rhymes
and she would do illustrations for them.
So there's a series of 6 nursery rhymes, and they fold out
to a big poster, and I think when you collaborate, it always
pushes you a little bit outside of your comfort zone.
So collaborating on "No Man's Land,"
I wanted to showcase female voices.
♪ We all know how the story goes ♪
♪ When you do wrong it comes back tenfold ♪
(Desdamona) The role of the emcee
is to inform people
or to get people thinking or asking questions,
so there's like a leadership quality about being an emcee.
But I also think to be a good leader you have to be
able to back away and create that space for other people too.
♪ No sense of self those who feel for someone else ♪

Hot n New Ep. 64: Havok H109 20x10 - Duration: 4:31.
- Hey guys, Shawn again, Custom Offsets,
Custom Offsets TV on the YouTube.
Got another episode of Hot n New for ya.
This one's pretty new but it's also pretty hot.
These have been pretty popular,
I'll show you a couple reasons why.
So this is Havok.
The whole company is called Havok, don't get it confused
with the Hostile Havoc, which also uses an H-style logo.
This is the company Havok,
and this is a Havok H109 wheel.
So this is a 20,
and it's a 10 wide.
And we've shown you before the 12 wide,
I don't know if you can pan up there.
If I'm totally messing with ya.
We'll just go with it.
So we've done the 12 wide negative 44
but we have this 10 wide come in, negative 24,
and I just wanted to show this to you
because when it came in, half the shop here
kept calling it a 12 wide because they saw this big huge,
just wanna make sure it's negative 24, yeah.
They saw this big old lip on here.
So this is only a 10 wide, it's a negative 24,
but the lip to the front of the spoke is five inches.
If we go to the back edge here,
you're at five and a quarter, almost five and a half.
That is a humongous lip for a 10 inch wide wheel.
The way they're getting that is they're actually taking
and coming out with the spoke, so it's giving it
almost the start of a concave wheel,
and then they take that spoke
and they just dive it straight back.
And that's what's creating this massive lip
on this 10 inch wide negative 24.
I believe this is one of the deepest lips
I've had the opportunity to do Hot n New on
for a 10 wide negative 24.
That's why when I saw it I knew that you guys
would probably appreciate seeing it also.
So as far as the finish, this is a gloss.
Black, she's super shiny,
and then it's milled all the way around each of the windows.
It's just in the windows, not on the outside edges,
this stays black, and then it's milled inside the windows,
and then you're gonna see that it's got the black gloss cap
with the red H and then the Havok engraved in the cap.
All the way around the edges it's gonna have
the milled rivets, and then they left the nipples in there
as black, so it kind of gives it a little more
3D dimension on the rivets.
And then as far as the lug nuts,
that's gonna be completely exposed,
so this would be an awesome one to run some spike lug nuts,
and you could do black and have 'em blend in more
or you could do the chrome and have 'em
actually set off the machining, on this one anyways.
So that's a 20 by 10 negative 24.
They also make this one in more of a matte finish
or a, let me see what they call it, matte.
I know it looks
really flat.
Yeah, flat black.
So the other one is a flat black and then they still have
the rivets but they don't have any of the milling
and it's just a complete matte, or a flat black.
So that's also a 20 by 10 negative 24.
So as far as price point goes,
it's also a really well-priced wheel,
$942 for all four of 'em shipped, sitting on your doorstep.
So for a lip that deep in a 20 by 10 negative 24,
that's a phenomenal price.
I'm not gonna go through the other sizes
because we've already done the other video on those,
but if you check out the website under Havok,
H-A-V-O-K, you will find their other lineup
and the other H109s.
Just wanted to bring that one to you.
If you wanna get a perspective,
this is a 33, 12 1/2, 20
Atturo Trail Blade M/T,
so that gives you kind of an idea
of the size of the sidewall and the fitment.
You'll see there is a little bit of sidewall protection
because it's a 12 1/2 tire on a 10 wide,
so it matches up pretty good.
That is your Havok H109,
we appreciate you guys checking this out.
Go ahead and subscribe if you're on YouTube,
go ahead and follow us if you're on the Instagram,
go ahead and like us if you're on the Facebook,
go ahead and snap us if you're on the Snapchat.
We appreciate you guys.

UNLOCKING a LEGENDARY CARD in Clash Royale RIP-OFF!! (MUST SEE!)

The Story of Varian Wrynn - Part 5 of 5 [Lore] - Duration: 32:11.
Hello everyone!
Last week we talked about Varian nearly losing his life to the twilights hammer cult, but
his son Anduin brought him back.
Garrosh pushed forward with his plans of conquering the world by attacking theramore and the war
eventually made its way to pandaria.
His Horde is crumbling beneath him though, the darkspear rebellion is on its way and
the alliance is unified like never before.
Meanhile in the city of Orgrimmar, Warchief Garrosh Hellscream sent goblin dig teams all
across the continent of Pandaria.
He promised gold and riches to any who could discover for him the hidden secrets of this
land that fill Pandaria with suck a dark and powerful energy.
To my surprise, his people have found something!
Right here, in the sacred vale!
What will happen now?"
What happens now is that Garrosh has found the heart of the old god Y'shaarj which
he drops in the sacred waters of vale to empower it, causing a massive explosion and destruction
to the land.
It was time to siege Orgrimmar and kick Garrosh out of the mantle of warchief.
Both the alliance and the horde rebellion worked together on this, but at Bladefist
bay we discovered that Vol'jin's rebellion was unable to secure the bay.
Warlord Zaela and her dragonmaw are holding the shores and we must take out their canons
before our ships can make landfall so we do just that...
"You think you have won?
We are orcs pure of blood, commanded by the greatest warchief who has ever lived.
Your blood will fill this bay."
"Well done.
Landing parties form up, footman to the front."
"The Dragonmaw are supporting the warchief."
"Yes.
My scouts learned all about this one.
"Warlord Zaela."
bring her proto-drake down and the rest of the Dragonmaw will crumble."
"We're going to need some serious fire power."
Commandeer those towers!
Turn the anti-air batteries around and blast her from the sky.
Some of you should stay behind and hold the landing zone."
"Dragonmaw clan, retake the docks and push them into the sea!
In the name of Hellscream and the true horde!"
"Roaaaargh, it worked!
The proto-drake is falling!"
"Death" "We've done it."
"Giggle, the bigger they are..."
"We'll hold the docks for the remaining landing parties.
Follow the path to the gates of Orgrimmar and make contact with Vol'jin and his revolutionaries."
"We'll see if he managed to keep up his end of the bargain."
The gates crumble and our forces take on everything that Garrosh has to offer from his dark shaman
to his captured dinosaurs, even the minions of the old gods are unable to hold us back
until finally Garrosh is the only one left standing.
He has a vision for his true horde and will stop at nothing at making that vision at reality,
but not even with the powers of an old god is he able to stop the combined might of the
alliance and the horde and the warchief is finally brought low.
"No....it cannot end like this...What I....What I have seen...."
*Garrosh is sleepy now* "You disapoint me, Garrosh.
You are not worthy of your fathers legacy."
CLANG "His punishment is not for you alone to
decide."
"I won't let you take him."
"We have all suffered from his atrocities.
My people more then any other.
Let him stand trial in Pandaria.
There we will meet out justice for all" Mmmmkay
"Look at them.
Already they plot against us.
Sieze this moment Varian, dismantle the Horde."
"GUARDSMEN!"
"Father – What are you doing?"
"What a king must do.
I will speak to your warchief!"
"I speak for the Horde."
Yep it's true, voljin is the warchief "Very well.
The horde has committed heinous crimes Vol'jin.
But some among you fought against Garrosh's tyranny.
For that I am willing to end this bloodshed.
But know this.
If your Horde fails to uphold honor, as Garrosh did....We will end you."
Despite working together for this very moment, when it came down to it neither side was willing
to let the other take the killing blow.
Instead they decide to place him on trial while Varian speaks with the new warchief
Vol'jin and is willing to end the bloodshed.
He explains that the desire to inflict more suffering on the Horde is one that he understands,
but how many more alliance will number among the dead if we invaded Thunder Bluff, Azshara
and the Echo isles/ How we would we govern the conquered people?
Today we've won justice and have given the Horde an oppertunity to atone by supporting
their rebellion.
Further bloodshed would be for vengeance alone – and it would reap vengeance in return.
He'd rather focus on winning the peace, station a garrison near Theramore, investigate
cleansing the plague from Gilnean Lands so they can rebuild and they must contain Sylvanas.
From here on forward, the Alliance will be proactive.
Never again can there be another the likes of Hellscream.
Anduin of course agrees with his father and thinks that replacing a warmonger with a leader
they can work with is their only chance for peace in the future while Jaina is the complete
opposite.
She believes Wrynn will rue the day he allowed the Horde to name another warchief.
We should have kept fighting, who's to say that in a few years, this new warchief won't
get any ideas in his troll head?
It's interesting to see how Jaina embodies what Varian used to be and Anduin what Varian
wants to be, while Anduin in turn is trying to be more like his father.
Either way this concludes the events in Pandaria which leads us to the novel war crimes in
which Garrosh's trial took place.
This book was used as a refreshed on the lore while also wrapping on some of the storylines
that have been going on while also opening the way for the next expansion.
The trial takes place in pandaria with Tyrande as the accuser and Baine trying to defend
Garrosh.
Witnesses are called to stand too which the bronze dragons Chromie and Kairozdormu use
the hour glass of time to show past events to the courtroom, to grant them visions of
the past.
Even Varian was called to be a witness in which they showed the moment of dragging Moira
out of her bed, Anduin talking some sense into him and the formation of the council.
Baine asked the king if he believed people could change.
He was not the man he was several years ago so if he had made those changes, could some
like garrosh?
Too which the king could give no different answer but yes.
Tyrande then questioned him, asked if in his darkest moments he had ever calculatedly planned
and executed a plan to exterminate the entire population of a major city?
No replied Varian too which Tyrande turned around and proclaimed that while King Varian
may indeed have dealt with similar challenges like Garrosh, he is not, has not been, and
will never be the same as Garrosh Hellscream.
Remember how during the wrath of the lich king period these 2 were so very similar and
now look at the path each of them walked.
Varian kept an open mind and listened to those around him and yes also underwent a ritual
to regain control while Garrosh surrounded himself with people that followed his ideas
of the world and anyone that disagreed was either cast out or struck down.
Now there is a fair bit to say about Garrosh and the path that he followed, but perhaps
that's a subject for another day.
The trial reached its end, but the verdict didn't matter since the black dragon Wrathion
and the Bronze Kairozdormu worked together on setting Garrosh free.
Wrathion had seen a vision of the legion returning to azeroth and he wanted nothing more then
to secure the future of the planet and keep it safe.
"You were there!
Is it true then what happened in Orgrimmar?
That fool king!
I did everything in my power.
The whole world was his.
He needed only seize it.
Ow sure another year of fighting, enormous casualties trying to take thunderbluff, but
the rest of the horde would have caved eventually.
Tong, drink, NOW!
What?
Yes, I was backing the alliance.
I thought Hellscream's victory was assured before he turned half the horde against him,
so I changed my allegiance.
Ow don't looks so surprised!
I'm a black dragon, my loyalties are my own.
But that idiot, IDIOT, Wrynn.
High King indeed!
Why did he allow another warchief?
He could have united the world under the alliance banner.
What a fool I was to trust his ambition.
Should have taken over the throne room myself, like auntie onyxia.
Get things done.
HIYA"
And now they decided to take Garrosh back in time , around 35 years from our perspective
to an alternate reality in which the orcs were just about to drink the demon blood offered
by Gul'dan and the Legion.
With Warlords Zaela, who had survived the siege orgrimmar, and the infinite dragonflight
attacking the temple, Kairoz and Garrosh used the hour glass of time and made their escape.
The attack was repelled when Zaela realized their mission of setting garrosh free was
accomplished, but Wrathion's plans didn't go exactly as planned.
Garrosh had not learned a thing over the years, had no intention of leading this alternate
horde in the defense of Azeroth, instead he murdered Kairoz and formed the Iron Horde
not to defend Azeroth, but to attack it.
To conquer it with the horde he invisions, conquer it and make it the world he had dreamed
of.
The Dark portal turned red, the iron horde tried to invade Azeroth and the draenei Maraad
informs Varian about the warlords of our time, the warlords we were about to face.
"King Varian, the hour grows late.
You must sign the declaration of war."
"Sigh, I was just a child when my father rushed to face this same evil.
He didn't understand these warlords at all.
That mistake cost him his life and brought this kingdom to ruin."
"You are not your father."
"I know, but how can I succeed where he failed?"
SMACK "You can start by trusting my council.
I have faced them before."
"On Draenor...You were there, all those years ago."
"Yes...believe me they are not invincible."
"Then tell me of them Maraad, tell me everything."
"Very well..."
Maraad informs the king of what he knows about Kargath Bladefist, Grommash Hellscream, Durotan,
Kilrogg and last but not least, his own history with the Horde and why he so desperately wants
to fight them.
You now know their leaders.
You know what forged them into the monstrosities they have become.
Put your seal on that order and I will be the first to answer the call.
Why are you so eager for this fight, Maraad?
For a paladin, you seem as bloodthirsty as the enemy.
It is not blood I seek.
When you look at me, what do you see?
I see a paragon, a champion of the Light.
What you cannot see is the burden I carry each day."
He was there when the orcs assaulted Shattrath city and he was orderd to take the refugees
to safety.
Instead of fullfilling his mission, he let the burning desire for revenge take hold as
he left the refugees to find their own way so he could go back and murder some orcs.
Satisfied he went back to search for the refugees but found all of them dead on the streets.
The light he had promised would be with them, had forsaken them instead...just as he had...
"I know I may not return.
But if there is even the barest chance of preventing the atrocities I witnessed from
happening again... then I offer myself gladly.
We are all haunted by the past, Maraad.
Few of us ever get the opportunity... to change it.
Varian puts his seal on the declaration of war as the scene shifts to the Stormwind bell
tower, who is ringing in the coming of dawn, and thereafter to the Stormwind army marching
through the Valley of Heroes.
Summon our champions.
Make ready for war.
Azeroth needs its heroes now more than ever."
And so the call went out for Azeroth's champions to venture forth through the dark portal and
take the battle to the Iron Horde.
Both the alliance and horde stood together against the might of the Iron Horde, but Varian
himself didn't play a major part during Warlords of Draenor.
He showed up to congratulate the general on his successes in the campaign and with the
garrison, but as we slowly but surely dismanttled the Iron Horde, alternate Gul' dan saw his
oppertunity and offered the demon blood once more.
This time there was no garrosh to stop the orcs since we had already killed him and Gul'dan
took control of the Iron Horde and turned it into the Fel Horde.
We now had to assault Hellfire Citadel within Tanaan Jungle and Varian showed up to offer
his insight as to what we should do.
A direct assault would take a heavy toll, but the sea lanes were open.
If we would attack by both land and sea, then Gul'dan's Horde would have no quarter.
It's time to build ourselves a shipyard and assault tanaan by sea and establish a
foothold.
"Everything rests upon your shoulders, commander.
Build a navy so we can assault Gul'dan from all sides.
Good luck!"
We did just that, we ventured forth into tanaan jungle, assaulted hellfire citadel itself
and brought down anything and everything Gul'dan had in store for us.
Not even Archimonde himself was strong enough to take us out and we liberated draenor from
the legion's influence.
"Gul'dan, you made a pact....NO!"
However, the whole reason why this connection between Azeroth and alternate draenor came
to be was because of Wrathion and his vision of the Legion coming to take another bite
out of azeroth.
Here we see alternate gul'dan being send over by Archimonde into our world and actually
start the next legion invasion by opening up the gateway at the tomb of sargeras.
By trying to build up an army to fight against it, Wrathion actually caused the next invasion
to happen and it's Khadgar that goes about warning the world of this new threat.
"CLOENK, the Burning Legion....has returned!"
"My son, a terrible darkness has returned to our world.
Thunder
As before, it seeks to annihilate everything that we hold dear.
I go to face it, knowing I may not return.
Screaming, They're coming.
They're coming back!
Ahh got ya compas, ow my god poor anduin...what have they done too you.
All my life I have lived by the sword.
I've seen kingdoms burn, and watched brave heroes die in vain.
Oeeeeee look at that pretty hell we're going too
It's been difficult for me to trust after losing so much.
WASSUP, HORDE REPRESENTING.
But from you I have learned patience, tolerance, and faith.
SWOENG, LETS DO THIS.
Ow my thrall that's a lot of demons.
They're coming in fast and hot OPEN FIRE!
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to come here with flying ships.
I mean, it might be fast but it's also a bit deadly.
Owww and now there's a fire demon trying to kill me, but hey there's Sylvanas!
PEW PEW PEW Oooow that looks cool, lets work together
SWOENG Die demon.
Yep what did I tell ya, a flying ship was not a good idea.
Alright hold on to your ropes man, tonight...we dine with Azshara.
BAWOESJ.
Everyone is drowning, ooow no not the compass.
Anduin, I now believe as you do, that peace is the noblest aspiration.
But to preserve it, you must be willing to fight!
ROAAAAAAAAAAAAR
Lo'Gash in the houuuuuuuse, die demons dieeeeeeeee
FOR AZEROTH!"
Where during mists of pandaria heroes were send out with an initial strike force, now
it's actually Varian who's leading the alliance attack while Sylvanas windrunner
is leading the Horde.
The high king has learned much and is able to trust and work together with the horde
while the rest of our forces joined them as soon as possible.
On the broken shore they battled their way through ranks upon ranks of demons, trying
to get to the source of the invasion and stop it before it could spread even further.
Tirion Fordring was taken out by Krosus, but by working together the alliance and horde
are able to force the demon to retreat.
It is time for the final confrontation.
"We'll take the ridge and cover your flank."
"Sylvanas, thank you."
"Good luck, Varian."
'And you..."
As the alliance confronts gul'dan directly, the Horde tries to cover their flank but the
forces they face on the ridge are destroying them.
3 legion ships are constantly shooting out their fel beams while demonic forces keep
pooring out of the portal.
"There are too many of them!
Everyone pull back to me, we make our stand here!"
The alliance isn't having any better luck.
Small waves of demons are send at first, but the portal created gives gul'dan access
to the near limitless might of the legion.
We return.
To conquer this puny world.
And burn it to a husk.
This is a legion invasion unlike any we've seen before and although the alliance forces
seem to be vastly outnumbered, Varian still thinks that a victory is possible.
He calls out the orders, but up above Sylvanas and the Horde have a better view of the battle
down below and they're unable to hold their ground.
"Sylvans cinematic – varian cinematic – epic music starts"
omg bats are tossing people from the cliff thrall is litteraly crawling on the ground,
ow damn this doesn't look good They're coming from behind.
Cover da flank!
Joink Warchief!
Get outta here demon, ow snap that hurt...my tusk!
Sylvanas to the rescue, come with me if you want to live
Do not let da Horde die dis day.
Meanwhile for the alliance: Victory is ours, hold fast!
Mekkatorque We finish this now.
Call in the gunship!
Way ahead of you sir, transangulating our position right now hahahaha
Genn...GENN...
My lord!
Push forward Ow snap bat attack
And get Windrunner's archers to clear the skies
Yeah no sorry Varian BWAAAAAAAAAAMP Horde is getting outta here
Bring in the valkyr, it's not like they could be used to ress the fallen soldiers
and turn the tide of battle.
Nope they're only here to get us out of the fight.
BWAAAAAAAAMP No...she wouldn't...
I knew it!
I knew we couldn't trust her.
Uho spaghetio...Atleast the gunship made it.
PEW PEW PEW Without the Horde, we'll be overrun.
We must retreat.
Get everyone to the gun ship.
EVERYONE, FALL BACK Hahahahah you think i'm just going to let

OW snap they cut me in the back.

Ow right i'm alone...
You will be remembered as the king who sacrificed his life...for nothing.
*pant* * Pant* For the alliance....BIATCH Hahahhahaha now buuuuuurn, buuuuuuuurn and
become dust for my enchantment.
SKADOESJ Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
*serious glare* Welp that could have gone better.
Varian Wrynn gave everything he had for the world, for the alliance, for his people and
his son.
Greymane take the letter he wrote back to King Anduin as they all mourn the loss of
a great king.
With the death of the king, a great burden is placed upon anduin's shoulders.
His father was a great strategist, yet his armies crumbled at the broken shores.
How can he succeeed where the wolf had failed, but Velen reasures him that he does not stand
alone in this battle and Tyrande compliments him for his wisdom of accepting the illidari,
illidan's demon hunters, into their ranks who by now have made their way to either the
alliance or the horde.
Jaina however reminds them all of the Horde's treachery.
It's time to bring them to heel like the dogs that they are.
Theramore, Dalaran and now again they're betrayed by the Horde at the broken shore,
but the others don't see it that way.
They can't fight a war at two fronts, they need the Horde's strength in the battle
against the Legion, but Jaina disagrees.
She believes that to fight alongside the cowards who betrayed his father and left them to die
would dishonor everything Varian stood for.
Dalaran will protect the easterns kingdoms, but she will not allow the Horde to set foot
within her city.
With that jaina teleports away and Anduin wonders what to do.
His father is dead, it was a disaster at the Broken shore, people like Greymane and Jaina
are fixed on revenge and everything's falling apart...
What happens next is a story still being told, but Anduin is the son of the Wolf, the son
of Lo'Gosh, High King Varian Wrynn, champion of Goldrinn.
Legends say that Lo'gosh's unyielding will and sheer ferocity enabled him to push
through the boundaries of the afterlife to aide his people.
Who knows what the future might bring, what roll the son of the wolf might play in the
future, but for now this is where the story of Varian ends.
Thank you all so much for watching and I hope that I did the character justice.
Like I always do with these bigger videos, tomorrow I'll be uploading a full version
of the story for those that prefer to watch it in one go and it makes it easier to link
it around.
As always thank you very much for watching everyone!
Subscribe if you like my videos, leave a like if you enjoyed this one aaaand until next
time guys.....see ya!

What Does A "Fascist Loofa Faced Sh*t Gibbon" Look Like? - Duration: 2:04.
PENNSYLVANIA STATE SENATOR DAYLIN LEACH WENT VIRAL THIS
WEEK WHEN IN RESPONSE TO SOME OF THOSE WHO WERE CONCERNED ABOUT
CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE, HE SAID I'M IN FAVOR OF IT AND HE CALLED
OUR PRESIDENT A FASCIST, LOOFAH-FACED SHIT GIBBON.
A LOT
OF PEOPLE HEARD THAT AND THOUGHT WHAT IS THAT?
WE TURNED TO OUR

LIKE, MANY WERE SENT IN, I'VE SELECTED MY FIVE FAVORITES.
AT
NUMBER FIVE, HERE IS ONE FROM STEVE ON FACEBOOK --
THAT'S DISGUSTING.
NEXT UP THIS IS FROM TWITTER, THE RARE
FASCIST LOOFAH FACED SHIT GIBBON.
I THINK HIS TEETH LOOK VERY WHITE.

I LOVE THAT THEY DUPLICATED HIS OVERSIZED TIE. AND THIS IS A
LAST-MINUTE ADDITION FROM FRENEMY -- I COULD SEE THAT
BEING ON ADVENTURE TIME.
WE CAN ALWAYS TURN TO OUR AUDIENCE WHEN
THEY NEED SOMETHING, THEY HAVE REFERRED US TO PEOPLE WHO MAKE
PUPPETS, PEOPLE WHO CRAFT SWORDS -- WE MIGHT DO A SWORD IN THE
DARKNESS ACTUALLY MADE BY A SMITH, SORRY IF YOU DON'T LIKE
THE NAME, BUT GOOD WORK, TO ALL THE REST OF YOU WHO SENT ONE IN,
WE COULD ONLY FEATURE A FEW.

I have merch now! 😄 | Riley J. Dennis - Duration: 2:22.
You know, I don't really like coffee, but I love tea.
I dunno if you can see this but it's a mug and it says -- oh, wait for it, oh there we
go -- "there are more than two genders."
Ahhh, I love it.
Yeah, so I have merch now!
I also have this shirt, I dunno if you can see it.
It says "Riley Jay" and has all these little like lightning bolts and stars and hearts and stuff
around it -- it's so cute!
And the other thing I have here is a laptop case that says "intersectional feminism",
ahhhh yeah.
You can buy all of these things at my TeePublic store which will be the first link in the
description, and I actually have a bunch of other designs too.
The way that TeePublic works is that you can choose any design and then choose the background
color and also what product it's on.
So you can get any of the designs on a t-shirt or a coffee mug or a laptop case.
You can also get wall art, phone cases, travel mugs, or notebooks.
So let me show you the designs because I'm really proud of them.
There are 18 of them and I designed 17.
The only one I didn't design is this logo -- this was made by like an actual designer, not me.
So there's this "Your gender is valid and awesome" and it has this cool like gold/white
texture to it.
There's the "Sometimes I'm really gay with an asterisk, and then the little bit under
it says "all the time".
Then we have the simple just "queer af".
I also have 3 pronoun shirts, so there's they/them, she/her, or he/him.
The good ol' polyamory is not cheating.
And I really like this one -- it's the checkboxes for Mr., Mrs., Ms., and Mx., which is the
gender neutral honorific.
There's also the "If it affects some of us, it affects all of us" design, which I think
is a thing I said in a video a while back, but it's basically the idea that like oppression,
even of a minority group, affects everybody.
Got your classic "girls are pretty" because they are.
Oh and there's this nice lovely "fuck your bigotry".
This one's a little bit longer.
It says "Fight for social justice, fight for political change, but don't forget to take care of yourself".
Then we got the enby-utiful.
Get it?
It's like a play on words with enby for non-binary and beautiful.
Ahhh, I really like it.
And there's the "Are you a boy or a girl? No."
So those are all of the designs.
If you would like to get any of those, you can use the first link down in the description.
And if you do get anything, make sure you tweet me a photo of you wearing it or holding it or whatever.
So if you liked any of those designs, definitely go check out my merch store.
But also, if you can't afford anything, like, that's totally fine.
You don't have to buy any of this.
But I'm really excited about this.
I've been working on it for a long time and I'm so glad to finally be able to share it with all of you.
Ahh, I really hope you guys like the designs.
Um, let me know in the comments, which one is your favorite?
And in my next video, I have another really cool announcement coming up, so stay tuned
for that, and yeah, I love you all! I'll see you next time!
I lied, this is just water.
