"Mixed Results"

[Okay, so this one is a comparative doozy. Sometimes you start writing and... man, it just goes. Helps that I just really like writing villains. Card-carrying, intentional, unintentional, smart, stupid... doesn't matter what kind. There's something so silly and freeing about a dedicated antagonistic force that just... does harm. I do enjoy a classic, mustache-twirling asshole, tho. Gotta go back to basics, sometimes. ... Coincidentally, Ep8 is my favorite, can you tell? Remember: don't monologue if you've already won. Links under the cut. And see you Thursday! <3 ]

Anything goes now!

All the media is now owned and controlled by right-wing millionaires/billionaires who are not hampered anymore by the First Amendment -- thanks to the 🍊🌮🤡💩 so-called president.

“Brittanytopia was the most popular city on the map! The best tourist destination! And the hotels…”

“WERE THE MOST EXPENSIVE HAHA!”

“Knocking Alvin out and making him go bankrupt was SO SATISFYING! Eleanor too! Her surprised face!”

“Simon held on the longest but eventually he landed on my most expensive property.”

“Jeanette didn’t get taken out by me. Alvin got her. Theodore I totally drained dry though.”

“I could literally talk about this all day, but I have been told to rein in my gloating. Oopsie.”

The Destruction of Edom (2 Chronicles 20:1-4)

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

2 Behold, I have made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised.

3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

4 Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.

5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not steal till they had enough? if grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?

6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden treasures sought up!

7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee on thy way, even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread lay a snare under thee: there is none understanding in him.

8 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?

9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.

10 For the violence done to thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.

12 But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither speak proudly in the day of distress.

13 Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither lay ye hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.

14 And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escape; and deliver not up those of his that remain in the day of distress.

The Deliverance of Israel

15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee; thy dealing shall return upon thine own head.

16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been.

17 But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall burn among them, and devour them: and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.

19 And they of the South shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the lowland the Philistines and they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel, which are among the Canaanites, shall possess even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South.

The battle is over.

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

"Just because I'm being hanged in the morning, I mean."

ARE YOU? THEN I SHALL LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING HOW YOU ESCAPED. I'M DUE TO MEET A MAN IN...IN... Death's eyesockets glowed as he interrogated his memory. AH, YES...INSIDE A CROCODILE. SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES AWAY, I BELIEVE.

"What? Then why are you here?"

OH, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO SEE A FRIENDLY FACE. AND NOW I THINK I HAD BETTER BE GOING. Death stood up. VERY PLEASANT CITY IN MANY RESPECTS. TRY TO SEE THE OPERA HOUSE WHILE YOU'RE HERE.

"Hang on...I mean, hold on, you told me I was certainly going to die!"

EVERYONE IS. EVENTUALLY.
