We burn in blood

“I had time to run home and pack a bag and get to the beach where the boats were waiting,” said a member of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins). “We literally had minutes to get on the boats and flee before it took our town. “Once we left my house finally after packing what I could in a pack sack, the fire was right behind our place. We had to run to the beach and once we got there, it was only moments before the fire had jumped over the (train) track and was coming for us.”

it has since been confirmed that namaygoosisagagun first nation has completely burnt to the ground. if you would like to help the community navigate an ongoing crisis, i urge you to donate to the anishinabek nation 7th generation, a registered charity seeking to improve the lives of first nations people. donations are going directly to members of namaygoosisagagun first nation.

Yelena: You didn't raise me...

John doesn't think; he acts.

On the battlefield, he's a skilled tactician but often reckless when it comes to his own safety. He's the one who goes back in once he's gotten everyone else out.

John used to be like that in his marriage, too. Not thoughtless or rash but madly in love with Olivia and willing to show it at every opportunity, even if it made him look stupid.

He used to say "I love you" with actions rather than words, so when he stops acting, that's when Olivia starts to worry.

And that he generally wears it over his metal arm.

He's such an idiot <3
