I hear them brag about being inside my house when it was empty. They didn't WANT me to make money outside sex industry and I don't agree with them. That's WHY my house looks bad. I didn't want to compromise irreplaceable soul anymore. I wanted to die before in my early 20's, but I found a purpose for life that wasn't connected to being insulted by men! Did you tell my father what I learned? Did you tell my father that I learned several difficult lessons in the worst ways?? Did you tell my father that I can't help other survive similar problems because people block my paths? My house is repairable when I earn money without feeling emotional, spiritual or physical pain.
Can you imagine having people trespassing in your house or yard to "evaluate" or decide if you can live there? Isn't that horrible? How would you feel if people did that to you?? Did RPM move in to house where MM was and heard my voice so they denied it was me? What would it mean if other people LOST HOUSES same way? It's awful to imagine.
Can you imagine an identity fraud forcing you out of the ONLY COUNTRY that you were born in and ever lived because a guy they knew promised them your identity? Awful.
Did you tell my dad the truth? I KNOW that you didn't tell Chris, or he's not right Chris, but you are filling him in on the lie he has to protect and make him pretend that a baby was his because that's what MM lives for. He has no other purpose but to insult me. But he still thinks I want to spend time with him? Someone has to tell MM that women don't work that way. My father should do that. Nothing else works does it?
They are still trying to say I gave my house, with SSN to one of the Hispanic neighbors, while they convince people to arrest me for crimes they might have done themselves in 2011. She was at basketball game and "volunteered" to become me? I didn't know her before. It's WHY she was invited? Strangers without sympathy or compassion for my kids and I? Like some others, MM invited some people as long as they hated black people. I'm still trying to figure out WHY he was there!!! CRK after all was invited, but she doesn't like black people. It doesn't make sense for her to have been there either!! Never did. I don't even KNOW what happened!!!
Arrest me they brag and threaten? They brag about getting me arrested for running "Cinnamon's Escort Agency" in Jax? Impossible. But my rival said they have a list of male customers willing to go to jail, for $ I assume? Can you imagine how many sex workers, counting all races and sexes, use that spicy word? It's WHY the coin should always be traceable. Whatever crypto was created to do, it has been turned into the currency of sins and fraud. If all it takes is cash, like crypto, can become cash when connected to ANY bank account no matter what name or SSN is used on either. No regulations, so sin and corruption is tolerated.
If people KNOW that they have AIDS or HIV, why aren't people using condoms with sex? Most common way disease is spread is by sex without condoms! They are threatening lives otherwise. Nobody should consent to death by having sex without condoms when people are positive, but scared to tell their partners. If you cheated on spouse, karma reveals it. Maybe it sometimes it takes diseases for people to be honest? I don't know. I gave up sex when RPM left family, because AIDS existed and I wanted to live for my children!! To see their children too!!! Filmed sex doesn't include me. That's MY TRUTH. I don't want to be used as a prop on film, secret cameras they would use, because some men spent some $ kept secret from me by scapegoating me! If there wasn't an ulterior motive, sex wouldn't be demanded from me.

We pick up in the dying embers of 2011, following John Cena once again falling short against CM Punk with the WWE Title on the line, this time at Survivor Series. Having fought with all his heart and still come up short, passing out to the Anaconda Vise, an ashamed Cena takes some time off to recover from the toll his three championship reigns took on him over the past year. However, he vows to come back and win the Royal Rumble for the second year in a row in order to once again main event WrestleMania, this time bringing the title home at the expense of his long-running rival.
Royal Rumble 2012
30 Man Royal Rumble Match
The crowd is hot as they start the countdown for lucky Number 27, with Wade Barrett, Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus, The Miz, Cody Rhodes and Jack Swagger all in the ring waiting to see who comes out… AND IT’S JOHN CENA, BACK WITH A VENGEANCE AFTER ALMOST TWO MONTHS TO HEAL UP! Cena comes in like a house on fire, making a beeline for Barrett and notching the elimination he struggled so hard for the year prior, followed by tossing Jack Swagger over the top and to the floor. He lays out Miz, Ziggler and Cody with a series of flying shoulder blocks, building up steam before taking in the love from the crowd and turning to face Sheamus. They start trading bombs in the middle of the ring as Number 28 enters, the audience whipped into a frenzy as Randy Orton makes his way down to the ring to eliminate Cody. Swagger tries to dump the Viper over, but Orton nails a back elbow, Swagger turning around INTO A BROGUE KICK, SHEAMUS TOSSING HIM OVER THE TOP BEFORE BEING HIT WITH A ZIG ZAG! Ziggler struggles to get Sheamus over the top rope, Sheamus fighting tooth and nail before finally knocking Dolph away, straight into an attempted RKO FROM ORTON, BUT DOLPH SHOVES RANDY INTO AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!
Number 29’s countdown ushers out Chris Jericho, and it’s Y2J’s grand return to the ring as he immediately hits Dolph with a Codebreaker, eliminating him. He springs up, only for Miz to go for the Skull Crushing Finale… but Jericho rolls him forward, Miz rolling and pivoting for a CODEBREAKER TO FLOOR HIM! Cena and Jericho start trading shots, Cena whipping Jericho into the ropes and going for a flying shoulder block, but JERICHO WITH A THIRD CODEBREAKER! Miz staggers to his feet, and SHEAMUS CLOTHESLINES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE FOR THE ELIMINATION! Number 30’s theme hits, and welllllll… it’s the Big Show. Show lumbers down to the ring, with Sheamus, Orton, Jericho and Cena still in the mix, the final five already locked. Begrudgingly, the four men in the ring look up towards the ramp, realizing that their only hope at getting the massive man over the top rope is to work together. Show enters the ring, and ALL FOUR JUMP HIM, ONLY FOR THE BIG SHOW TO EXPLODE OUTWARDS AND SEND THEM FLYING!
Sheamus is up first, going for a Brogue Kick and EATING A WMD! Jericho leaps up for a Codebreaker, but Show simply stays standing, remaining steady and jetting Jericho up into ANOTHER WMD, BUT NOW ORTON NAILS AN RKO! Show’s on spaghetti legs, and CENA LIFTS HIM UP! MY GOD, THE POWER! THE CROWD ARE ALL ON THEIR FEET AS CENA STRUGGLES TO HOLD FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HUMANITY ALOFT… ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT SENDS SHOW TO THE APRON, AND DOWN TO THE FLOOR! Exhausted, Cena flops against the ropes, and RANDY ORTON DUMPS HIM OVER THE TOP TO THE APRON, CENA HOLDING ON WITH JUST ONE HAND! Orton tries to kick the hand out, but John is glued to the apron, refusing to be shaken off and driving his shoulder into Orton’s gut, trying for a back body drop over the top… BUT ORTON DRAGS HIM IN FOR A DRAPING DDT! Cena is dazed and confused as Orton calls for an RKO, but CENA COUNTERS, GOING FOR AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT - BUT SHEAMUS NAILS HIM WITH A BROGUE KICK, LEAVING HIM PRONE FOR AN RKO! ORTON ELIMINATES CENA! Despite making it to the final four, Cena’s effort wasn’t enough, and he’s forced to watch as CHRIS JERICHO LAST ELIMINATES RANDY ORTON IN HIS HOMETOWN OF ST. LOUIS!
Chris Jericho wins the 2012 Royal Rumble (54:56)
Road to Elimination Chamber 2012
With Chris Jericho surprisingly declaring his intentions to challenge for the World Heavyweight Title, saying he became synonymous with the gold in the late 2000s and wants to do so again, the WWE Title scene is wide open heading out of the Royal Rumble - but John Laurinaitis wants to make sure that said scene doesn’t involve CM Punk, and schedules a Punk defense within the satanic structure, with one of his challengers being Dolph Ziggler, Laurinatis’ champion of choice. He also declares there will be four qualifying matches to determine who enters alongside Punk and Ziggler, and the next week, they begin, with John Cena scheduled to face the Big Show as penance for socking Laurinaitis at Money in the Bank 2011. Big man goes up, and big man goes down, with Cena defeating the Big Show with a thunderous Attitude Adjustment in Raw’s main event. Over the next few weeks, the Chamber fills out, with R-Truth, The Miz and Wade Barrett joining the fray, with the go-home show seeing a fracas break out, and a slimy Dolph Ziggler finally standing tall ahead of the Chamber.
Elimination Chamber 2012
Elimination Chamber Match for the WWE Title: John Cena vs. CM Punk (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. R-Truth vs. The Miz vs. Wade Barrett
The Chamber is about as rigged as it can possibly get, with Laurinaitis orchestrating Punk and Cena as the starting two. It’s a fantastic opening exchange, and it’s incredibly closely contested, with John throwing everything he can at the champion to finally get one up on him. Barrett is out next, using his power to wear down both Punk and Cena, and then it’s Truth, who immediately makes a beeline for Miz’s pod, kicking through it and igniting a wild brawl between them. Cena notches the first elimination by putting away Wade Barrett with an Attitude Adjustment, and finally, Dolph Ziggler comes out fresh as a daisy at Number 6, putting the boots to everyone in the match. He lays out Cena and Punk with Zig-Zags, both of which only earn two counts, and then changes his tactics, helping The Miz eliminate R-Truth and insisting they team up to take out the champion and the most daunting challenger. Miz accepts, and with Punk and Cena’s inability to work together, they dole out massive damage, Punk narrowly managing to roll up Miz for three and put Ziggler on the back foot.
Furious, Ziggler tries to flee Punk’s wrath, but Cena insists that he’ll help the champion get rid of Ziggler so they can go one on one, fair and square. Punk agrees, and corners Dolph up against a pod, forcing Ziggler to climb up to the top… AND INTO CENA’S WAITING ARMS, WITH THE CENATION LEADER NAILING AN AVALANCHE ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT OFF THE POD! Cena tries to roll over onto Dolph to make the cover, but PUNK OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH AN ELBOW DROP, AND NOW HOISTING CENA UP INTO A GO TO SLEEP! ONE! TWO! THREE! PUNK PUTS CENA AWAY, BY NOOK AND BY CROOK, AND NOW HE PINS ZIGGLER… ONE! TWO! THREE! PUNK RETAINS THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP!

Road to WrestleMania XXVIII
CM Punk may have come out of Elimination Chamber as champion, but he did so at the expense of turning a rival into an enemy. John Cena comes out at the top of the hour on Raw to call out Punk, saying that he agreed to help him against a common enemy so they could face off fairly - and Punk took the coward’s way out. That brings out the champion, who clearly resents being called a coward, saying that Cena should really only be calling him one name: champion, because for all the talk about Hustle and Loyalty, Cena’s not showing enough Respect. Punk worked hard to get this title, but he owes Cena no loyalty… in fact, he owes him nothing, leading Cena to PUNCH PUNK IN THE FACE! Punk drops down out of the ring, clutching the title, and John grabs the microphone, declaring that Punk owes him one thing, and that’s the one on one match they agreed upon at Elimination Chamber. Cena says that if Punk wants respect, he’ll have to earn it… at WrestleMania. Gritting his teeth, Punk agrees, and we’re set for WrestleMania 28 with John Cena vs. CM Punk, WWE Championship on the line.
The next week is a contract signing between the two, and the animosity is higher than ever, the undertone of mutual respect following their series of battles exchanged for contempt. Cena signs first, and Punk uses the spotlight to start a sermon on the mount, saying that John Cena’s just walked into success wherever he’s gone. Outside WWE, he was a multi-time champion within a few years, and once he got to WWE and started shilling merchandise and shedding his Nexus skin, it was all sunshine and rainbows for the Cenation leader. However, Punk says that at Elimination Chamber, he taught the children Cena wants so desperately to look up to him a more valuable lesson than Cena ever could - that they aren’t the only person trying to reach the top. Punk’s worked for years to get to where he is, he overcame the same obstacles Cena did and then some, and in that time, he learned it’s a dog-eat-dog world. Maybe John’s had it too easy to notice, but life is hard, and at WrestleMania, he’ll make that point definitively when he beats Cena… again. Anyway, the contract is signed, and as is tradition, Punk goes through the table, but John looks pretty shaken by what Punk said.
They continue exchanging verbal barbs on the Road to WrestleMania, and Cena heats himself up with a big win over Kane, and another over The Miz on back-to-back Raw episodes. On the go-home show, it’s one more face-to-face promo segment, with CM Punk coming down to the ring and explaining that he’s held the WWE Championship for about four months - longer than Cena ever has. The head that wears the crown is a heavy one, but he’s overcome every obstacle thrown at him by John Laurinaitis, by Dolph Ziggler, and while he knows Cena holds a grudge against both of them too, he sees Cena the same way; as an obstacle that he’s overcome repeatedly, because he’s the Best in the World. Because of that, at WrestleMania, he’ll treat him no differently than he would Laurinaitis or Ziggler, because he’s just a problem to be solved, no matter his morals or popularity. Cena comes out and says Punk talks about hardships, but Cena had to work for eight years before returning to WWE. He had to fight for his spot, and the past year and a half of his career, he’s done it the right way. He’s imposed those challenges upon himself to try and make the world a better place, but Punk is selfish. He holds himself to no principles but those that benefit him at any given moment, so while he may be a great competitor, he’s not deserving of Cena’s respect, or the respect of the people - and when Cena pins his shoulders to the mat in Miami, he won’t be deserving of being called champion, either. The last image of both men before their WrestleMania clash is a simple one, with CM Punk raising the championship that John Cena designed high above his challenger’s head.
WrestleMania XXVIII
WWE Title: John Cena vs. CM Punk (c)
For the second year in a row, John Cena walks into WrestleMania as the challenger for the WWE Championship, but this time, it’s on a cold streak compared to the heater he was on in 2011. He’s lost to CM Punk at Money in the Bank, SummerSlam, Survivor Series and now Elimination Chamber, meaning the champion is plenty confident for this one. They start off cautious, knowing each other and the dangers posed very well, and Punk manages to get control early by kicking Cena off the top rope to the apron, with John landing on his back. He works over Cena’s spine, trying to take away his overwhelming power, but Cena manages to find a small gap in Punk’s offense and NAIL AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! ONE! TWO! TH-PUNK KICKS OUT, BUT WE’RE OFF TO THE RACES NOW! Cena’s back in the fight, and he goes after Punk hard with a series of shoulder blocks, only for Punk to drop down under one and catch Cena on the rebound with a head kick before LOCKING IN THE ANACONDA VISE, THE SAME MOVE THAT PUT CENA AWAY AT SURVIVOR SERIES! Cena scrambles to the ropes, but Punk kicks off of them again, only for Cena to roll through and HOIST PUNK UP INTO A SIDE SLAM, FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE… AND A SECOND ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! ONE! TWO! THRE-PUNK SOMEHOW LIFTS THE SHOULDER!
Now it’s Cena’s turn to go on the attack, knowing one more big move will put Punk down for three, but Punk is getting desperate, rolling out of the ring to safety before CATCHING CENA WITH A DDT ON THE FLOOR! He crawls back into the ring, considering taking a countout, but instead he delivers a SUICIDE DIVE, SENDING CENA INTO THE BARRICADE SPINE-FIRST! He hops onto the announce table and nails a flying clothesline before sending Cena back in, stumbling towards the challenger and BEING SCOOPED UP FOR A THIRD ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT, BUT CENA’S BACK GIVES WAY, PROVIDING PUNK THE OPENING TO CONNECT WITH A BACKSTABBER! He picks Cena up… GO TO SLEEP! ONE! TWO! THRE-CENA KICKS OUT! Frustrated, Punk rolls John over onto his stomach, dropping knee after knee into the spinal cord before clambering up to the top rope for an ELBOW DROP TO CENA’S BACK, BUT THE CHALLENGER ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY TO TRAP PUNK IN THE STF! HE’S GOT PUNK DEAD TO RIGHTS! The referee leans in as Punk screams and shouts, finally grabbing the referee by the shirt to stop himself from submitting… AND LUNGING FORWARD, SENDING CENA INTO THE REFEREE’S SKULL FOR A CLASH OF HEADS! The referee crumples as a dazed John tries to lock the hold back in, but WAIT A SECOND! WHO THE HELL IS… JOHN CENA JUST GOT HIT WITH A STEEL CHAIR, STRAIGHT TO THE SPINE! IT’S PAUL HEYMAN! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? The crowd is in disbelief as Heyman hurries out of the ring, a wounded Punk pushing the chair under the ropes before delivering another emphatic GO TO SLEEP! He collapses over Cena as the referee comes to, counting the pin… ONE… TWO… THREE! CM PUNK CHEATS JOHN CENA OUT OF THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP, WITH THE HELP OF PAUL HEYMAN!
CM Punk def. John Cena (25:43) to retain the WWE Title
Road to Extreme Rules 2012
The Raw after WrestleMania sees CM Punk come out to open the show, officially proclaiming himself not only the WWE Champion, not only the man who’s gone 4-0 against John Cena in singles competition for the gold, but a “Paul Heyman Guy.” Naturally, Cena crashes the party, furious about being screwed over, with Punk ducking out of harm’s way and Heyman narrowly avoiding catastrophe. However, Paul promises that in the main event timeslot, he’ll happily speak with John Cena face to face, vanishing behind the curtain and forcing Cena to wait. The main event slot rolls round, and Cena comes down to the ring, saying that he wants to face Punk once again at Extreme Rules, this time under the titular ruleset, and that even if Paul Heyman wants to interfere, he’ll face it head on and make him pay for costing him at WrestleMania. Out struts Heyman onto the stage, microphone in hand, and he says that at Extreme Rules, he accepts Cena’s challenge on behalf of his client. Cena will have an Extreme Rules match against a Paul Heyman guy - but not CM Punk. Cena’s confusion turns to anger before the roof comes unglued, because BROCK LESNAR IS BACK IN THE WWE! He meets Cena in the ring, John telling Brock to step aside and that this isn’t his fight, but LESNAR SCOOPS HIM UP FOR AN F-5, STANDING TALL WITH HEYMAN!
The next week, Lesnar is reintroduced to the WWE Universe by Heyman after nearly a decade away, but it quickly devolves into a brawl with Cena, the entire locker room emptying out to keep them apart ahead of what will surely be an incomprehensibly violent affair. Cena comes away bloodied, as does Lesnar, while Heyman scurries away to hide behind CM Punk backstage. The following Raw, John Laurinaitis says that for starting the brawl, Cena has been suspended for the week, and that he’s officially negotiated a WWE contract for “The New Face of WWE,” Brock Lesnar, through Laurinaitis’ “good friend,” Paul Heyman. The deck is stacked, and Laurinaitis says that as the GM of both Raw and Smackdown, he’s getting pretty sick of John Cena running around like he owns the place - and if he steps out of line again, he might just have to fire him. The go-home show sees Cena return, not permitted to touch anyone associated with Heyman or Laurinaitis, but the tension is palpable as he says to Brock that he’ll go through him and whoever else he has to in order to set things right.
Extreme Rules 2012
Extreme Rules Match: John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar
This one is an out-and-out war from the opening bell, with Cena opening up his old playbook and wearing a chain to the ring in order to clock the Beast Incarnate, busting Brock open. However, the second he goes for another shot, Lesnar takes him down and lands an elbow to the head, leaving Cena leaking like a faucet. He follows it up by hurling John into the ring post, both men bloodied in the opening stages as they wrestle for control. However, Brock has a target set on John’s back, and he nails it with a POWERBOMB THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE, FOLLOWED BY SIMPLY RIPPING UP A PIECE OF THE BARRICADE AND SLAMMING IT INTO CENA’S SPINE! He chains Cena to the ring post, piecing him up with his UFC Championship caliber striking, landing punches to the body before letting Heyman mockingly deliver a “You Can’t See Me” to the Cenation leader. Brock rips him away from the ring post, and now delivers an F-5 ONTO THE FLOOR! He slides the ring steps into the squared circle, standing tall atop them as Cena struggles onto the apron, and runs off the steps to SEND BOTH MEN CRASHING TO THE FLOOR, A KNEE FROM BROCK GOING STRAIGHT INTO JOHN’S TEMPLE! Save for a few glimmers of hope for Cena, it’s been a dominant performance by Lesnar, who now rolls Cena in and calls for an F-5 ON THE STEPS, ONLY FOR CENA TO REVERSE INTO A DDT ONTO THE STEEL! ONE! TWO! THR-NOO! LESNAR KICKS OUT, BUT CENA HAS A CHANCE HERE! Fighting through the pain as best he can to lift Lesnar up, he gets him into a fireman’s carry… BUT BROCK INTO A KIMURA! HE’S GOT CENA TRAPPED, BUT JOHN RUNS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Lesnar stumbles - CENA WITH AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! ONE! TWO! THRE-PAUL HEYMAN STOPS THE COUNT! Cena looks up with murderous intent, Heyman immediately fleeing the scene, but John follows him around ringside before being INTERCEPTED BY BROCK, WHO GETS HIM UP FOR ANOTHER F-5, ONLY FOR JOHN TO SWING AROUND BEHIND HIM! CENA’S GOT THE CHAIN AROUND BROCK’S NECK! HE’S CHOKING THE BEAST OUT! LESNAR’S FADING! HE’S GOT NOWHERE TO GO, AND NOW JOHN HOISTS HIM UP FOR AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT ON THE STEPS! ONE! TWO! THREE! JOHN CENA SURVIVES BROCK LESNAR!
John Cena def. Brock Lesnar (23:57)
Road to Over The Limit 2012
Following his monumental defeat of the first opponent in his rapist gauntlet, Cena is ready to get back in the title hunt, but he’s confronted by another roadblock - John Laurinaitis, who’s not happy at all about the “New Face of WWE” being beaten by Cena, who’s become something of a thorn in the side of People Power. He says that he’s threatened to fire Cena before, and now, having seen the Cenation leader chase down Paul Heyman, a non-competitor, he feels he has no choice. Cena rips the microphone out of Laurinaitis’ hand, backing him into the turnbuckles and leaning in nice and close before starting his speech. He says that he’s spent years doing things the right way, and playing within the rules in order to overcome the obstacles in front of him. He tries to lead by example, to help people with their hardships, to be someone to aspire towards for sick children who are fighting harder than even he can imagine - but if Laurinaitis intends to take that option from him by firing him, Cena will have to approach things differently. If he can’t overcome obstacles, he has to get rid of his obstacles. Johnny Ace is sweating bullets, and says something about being the GM of both Raw and Smackdown, only for Cena to offer him the opportunity of a lifetime - a match, where if Cena loses, he’ll QUIT, and he’ll accept the result peacefully. Laurinaitis perks up, and Cena says that if his opponent loses, they’ll have to do so by quitting too. Wanting to get rid of the threat, Laurinaitis agrees, before Cena says that that opponent is Laurinaitis himself. The match is made official for Over The Limit - Cena vs. Laurinaitis, Loser Leaves WWE, in an I Quit Match.
The next week sees Laurinaitis trying desperately to bribe people over to his side in the fight against Cena, but much of the locker room remains steadfast in wanting People Power gone. Lesnar is nowhere to be seen, given his schedule, and even CM Punk, Cena’s heated rival, says that despite his detestment for Cena, after all Laurinaitis put him through, he has no intent of helping. He hopes they both lose. Finally, on the go-home show, Laurinaitis is seen on the phone offering an iron-clad contract to someone, worth a record-setting amount, but one that will only take effect the night after Over The Limit, meaning Laurinaitis has to win for it to be enacted. Satisfied with his ace in the hole, he prepares to face the music, saying in an interview that he’ll have no problem beating John Cena - he’s had forty minute wars in his heyday. He’s beaten the likes of Mitsuharu Misawa (who Cena killed), so he has no fear heading in - but he then hears a random conversation down the hall, and leaps up out of his seat, terrified. He runs out of frame, shouting that he’ll make Cena quit at Over The Limit.
Over The Limit 2012
Loser Leaves WWE I Quit Match: John Cena vs. John Laurinaitis
“Big fight feel” doesn’t even begin to describe John Laurinaitis’ first PPV match since his time in All Japan, but “prison beating” does, with Cena beating Johnny Ace’s ass from pillar to post for a good ten minutes. Cena brings him to commentary and puts him in a headset, saying he’ll be Cole while Laurinaitis is Booker T, leading Johnny Ace to sputter “five time” in his weird raspy voice before eating an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! The referee asks Laurinaitis if he wants to quit, but before he can answer, THE BIG SHOW LANDS A WMD ON THE REFEREE! COME ON! Show apologizes to Cena, saying he needs to do this for the contract that’ll feed his family for the rest of his life, and Cena shrugs before they start duking it out, neither one willing to give an inch. Eventually, Cena manages to PUT SHOW THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE WITH AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT, AND NOW HE LOCKS LAURINAITIS IN THE STF, STICKING THE MICROPHONE IN HIS FACE… LAURINAITIS QUITS!
John Cena def. John Laurinaitis (15:07), meaning Laurinaitis must leave WWE
Road to No Way Out 2012
Having defeated another sex pest, John Cena is looking to continue the streak, saying he wants to enter the title scene again. However, CM Punk and the WWE Title are now wrapped up in a scene with Daniel Bryan, Kane and AJ Lee, who, with Mr. McMahon behind her, holds all the cards necessary to exclude Cena from the equation. With that in mind, Cena goes after World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, setting the match for No Way Out with a series of blistering promos, centred on Jericho having come out on top in his WrestleMania title bout, and Cena having fallen short. However, with two deviants in the mud behind him, Cena’s feeling good about beating a third and claiming his fourth World Championship in WWE.
No Way Out 2012
World Heavyweight Title: John Cena vs. Chris Jericho (c)
This is an incredible match, with Jericho certainly being a heel, but not one as underhanded as some of Cena’s more recent opponents, making for an entertaining back-and-forth skill-based bout. Jericho naturally works over Cena’s back, only a month and a half removed from his battle with Lesnar and two and a half from his battle with Punk, and continuously tries to cinch in the Walls of Jericho. However, Cena always seems to have an answer, and, after kicking out of a Codebreaker, manages to scoop Jericho up for an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT, BUT JERICHO LANDS ON HIS FEET AND HITS A SPINNING BACK ELBOW, THE LIKES OF WHICH WE’VE NEVER SEEN FROM HIM! He goes for the Walls of Jericho once more, but a defiant Cena manages to extend his legs and force Jericho off, before leaping atop him and LOCKING IN THE STF, FORCING JERICHO TO SUBMIT! JOHN CENA’S THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, AND AFTER HOLDING THE NWA TITLE IN A PAST LIFE, HE FINALLY GETS TO LIFT THE BIG GOLD THAT ONCE REPRESENTED IT!
John Cena def. Chris Jericho (18:32) to win the World Heavyweight Title
Road to Money in the Bank 2012
Now wearing gold once more, Cena brings in a new rendition of his “The Champ is Here” shirt, and says he’s looking forward to defending the helm at Money in the Bank. Alberto Del Rio takes offense to this, saying that at Money in the Bank, the poster child of wealth deserves to hold gold. Cena asks if that’s a challenge, which it is, and accepts, presumably so he can browbeat a FOURTH sex pest. Over the next few weeks, Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez talk about the championship lifestyle, using segments to display Alberto’s opulent wealth and talk about how a REAL champion doesn’t do Make a Wish, but tramples on the poor to build golf courses or something. Cena ramps up his charity work by meeting sick children and offscreening some more people who belong on the sex offender registry, setting the stage for an exciting ideological battle in Phoenix.
Money in the Bank 2012
World Heavyweight Title: John Cena (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio
Having historically had a rough time of successfully defending gold in WWE, and a very rough time at Money in the Bank, Cena’s got a lot to prove against Del Rio, who tries to soften Cena up for the Cross Armbreaker throughout, using all tools available - smashing Cena’s arm off the ring post, steel steps, barricade and announce table all around ringside before attempting to lock in the submission in the centre of the ring… CENA STACKS HIM UP! ONE! TWO! TH-HE LIFTS DEL RIO UP IN A HUGE SHOW OF STRENGTH FOR A POWERBOMB! Del Rio is staggered as Cena measures his man for an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! ONE! TWO! THREE! HE MAY BE COMING AWAY WITH A WOUNDED ARM, BUT JOHN CENA JUST MADE LIGHT WORK OF THE MEXICAN ARISTOCRAT!
John Cena def. Alberto Del Rio (12:45) to retain the World Heavyweight Title
Road to SummerSlam 2012
Having defeated four sex pests, the locker room is now running pretty dry, so Cena decides it’s mission accomplished and turns his attention to the rest of the roster. Still plenty focused on CM Punk, he says he’ll get to him eventually, but for now, he’s looking for a SummerSlam challenger. Out marches Sheamus, who came tantalizingly close to winning Money in the Bank the previous night, to a huge reaction from the crowd. He’s all smiles as he turns to face Cena, saying they’ve only met in the Royal Rumble, but never one on one. Cena asks the crowd if they want to see him face Sheamus at SummerSlam, and they all roar in approval before Flight of the Valkyries hits, ushering out Daniel Bryan. Bryan says that next week, he’s scheduled to marry AJ Lee on Raw 1000, and he wants to be wearing gold for the happiest moment of his life - the gold that he lost at WrestleMania. He doesn’t care if Sheamus challenges at SummerSlam, but he cares who Sheamus FACES, because it’s shouldn’t be John Cena… it should be Daniel Bryan. Cena chuckles, and accepts the challenge for Raw 1000’s opening contest.
World Heavyweight Title: John Cena (c) vs. Daniel Bryan
In a closely contested affair, John Cena and Daniel Bryan go back and forth to kick off a celebration of Raw, with Sheamus on guest commentary and Bryan’s blushing bride-to-be at ringside. Naturally, Bryan makes a beeline for Cena’s arm, trying to soften it up further just a week removed from the pain Del Rio put it through, and gets to showcase his broad array of submissions, Cena just barely managing to survive the onslaught with rope break after rope break before finally nailing an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! ONE! TWO! THRE-BRYAN GETS A FOOT UNDER THE ROPE! Cena calls for another one, but Bryan is somehow able to reverse it into a victory roll, followed by a NO KICK TO THE HEAD! He sends Cena into the corner, ready for a running dropkick, and turns to AJ, beckoning her up to the apron for a kiss. She hops up, he leans over, and… SHE DOESN’T KISS HIM? Bryan’s confused, and turns around into a SECOND ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! ONE! TWO! THREE! BRYAN’S JILTED BEFORE THE ALTAR IS EVEN SET UP!
John Cena def. Daniel Bryan (16:23) to retain the World Heavyweight Title
Now set to face off with Sheamus, it’s a much more respectful build than Cena’s been used to, without the antagonistic rivals opposite him. For Sheamus and Cena, it’s a first time ever clash of the titans, two big guys with big muscles who are gonna fight for the Heavyweight Title. Wrestling has never been more back.
SummerSlam 2012
World Heavyweight Title: John Cena (c) vs. Sheamus
These two men simply collide at the Staples Center, giving us fifteen glorious minutes that completely lack control segments or hope spots or changes in momentum - it’s just big bombs being thrown. Eventually, Sheamus gets going on a roll, nailing an Irish Curse Backbreaker to exacerbate Cena’s back problems before following it up with a HIGH CROSS! ONE! TWO! THR-NOOO! He transitions straight into a Cloverleaf, folding Cena in two and bearing down on his lower spine, but John just manages to reach the ropes, refusing to give up. Sheamus heads to the corner, calling for the Brogue Kick, but CENA DUCKS IT, PIVOTING AROUND AND NAILING A SHOULDER BLOCK! NOW ANOTHER! HE’S GOT SHEAMUS WHERE HE WANTS HIM… FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE FOR TWO! Sheamus is in trouble now, Cena getting him up for an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT, AND NOW HE ROLLS THROUGH TO GO FOR ANOTHER - ONLY FOR SHEAMUS TO SLIP OFF BEHIND HIM FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! BROGUE KICK MISSES BY A FRACTION OF AN INCH, CENA SLIPPING PAST TO BEHEAD SHEAMUS WITH A LARIAT! HE PICKS HIM UP… ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! ONE! TWO! THREE! CENA MAKES IT THROUGH A TRUE WAR!
John Cena def. Sheamus (18:59) to retain the World Heavyweight Title
Cena’s barely able to stand after that one, his back giving him plenty of trouble as he leans on the ropes, giving a nod to Sheamus as a show of respect for the fantastic match, when… OH MY GOD! Dolph Ziggler sprints down to the ring, the referee still checking on Cena, and IMMEDIATELY SUPERKICKS THE CHAMPION UNDER THE JAW BEFORE HE CAN EVEN REACT! He hands over the briefcase, and THE BELL RINGS!
World Heavyweight Title: John Cena (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler
ZIG ZAG! ONE! TWO! THRE-CENA KICKS OUT! The crowd is electric as Dolph lines Cena up for another Zig-Zag, but Cena manages to buck him off by clinging to the top rope, throwing a back elbow and ANOTHER THUNDEROUS LARIAT! ONE! TWO! THR-NOOOO! Cena scoops Dolph up for an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT, BUT NOW ZIGGLER LOCKS IN THE SLEEPER HOLD! CENA TRIES TO SHAKE HIM OFF, BUT DOLPH DRIVES KNEES INTO THE SPINE TO BREAK HIS STANCE… CENA ROLLS HIM FORWARD, AND GOES FOR AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT, ONLY FOR ZIGGLER TO LAND ON HIS FEET AND NAIL A ZIG-ZAG! ONE! TWO! THREE! DOLPH ZIGGLER IS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!

Road to Night of Champions 2012
On Raw, John Cena is crestfallen, not having the chance to walk into his hometown of Boston as champion. However, with the World Heavyweight Title off his shoulder, he has a choice on his hands - does he pursue revenge against Dolph Ziggler, or does he once again set his sights on CM Punk for the first time since WrestleMania? His choice is the latter, and he issues his challenge for the TD Garden: John Cena vs. CM Punk for the WWE Title. Paul Heyman comes out to the stage with the champion, and says that after nearly a year with the gold, Punk doesn’t need to give Cena a damn thing. However, Cena says that if Punk wants respect so much, there’s no better way to earn it than beating the Cenation leader clean as a whistle, something he couldn’t do at WrestleMania. Paul is about to reject, but Punk stops him, and says that he’ll see Cena in Boston, just so he can embarrass him in his hometown… because if Punk wins, John Cena has to cut a promo after the match explaining why he respects CM Punk. Cena accepts the terms, and after five months of waiting, we’re back on the element with the Best in the World vs. The Franchise.
Cena spends the next few weeks discussing his journey back to the WWE Title - beating a new Heyman guy in the form of Brock Lesnar after Heyman cost him the win against Punk, then beating Laurinaitis to ensure management wouldn’t get in his way, then winning another World Championship in the interim, all leading back to the Straight Edge Saviour. In Boston, he can’t fail, because frankly, he’s not sure what he’d say if he lost. He doesn’t respect the cheating ways, he doesn’t respect the cult of personality, he doesn’t respect the hiding up until this point, and in Boston, he’ll do what he should’ve done a long time ago at Money in the Bank 2011 - he’ll save the WWE Championship from CM Punk.
Night of Champions 2012
WWE Title; If Cena Loses, He Must Say He Respects Punk: John Cena vs. CM Punk (c)
It is deafening inside the TD Garden for the rematch the world’s been waiting for, with CM Punk looking to go a flawless 5-0 in singles competition against the hometown hero. Just like he did at WrestleMania, Punk targets the back, but Cena toughs it out as best he can, his sheer grit and determination carrying him through the storm. Both striving to gain the upper hand despite their deep knowledge of each other’s moves, they pull out all the stops, with Punk GOING FOR ANOTHER PILEDRIVER, ONLY FOR CENA TO COUNTER WITH A BACK BODY DROP OVER THE TOP! Clutching his lower back, Cena lines himself up for a SUICIDE DIVE TO PUNK, NEARLY LANDING IN HIS FATHER’S LAP! He sends Punk back in, nailing a top rope leg drop as the champ tries to get back to his feet, followed by a FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! HE’S GOT HIM UP… ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! ONE! TWO! THRE-NOOOO! Going for broke, Cena sets Punk up on the top rope, calling for an avalanche Attitude Adjustment, but PUNK WITH BLOWS TO THE SPINE, NOW HOOKING CENA’S ARMS! IS HE GOING FOR A PEPSI PLUNGE? NO! CENA LIFTS HIM UP AGAIN, AND PUNK DROPS TO THE TURNBUCKLES TO AVOID DISASTER, ONLY FOR JOHN TO WRAP HIS ARMS AROUND PUNK’S WAIST FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX OFF THE TOP ROPE, STRUGGLING TO BRIDGE WITH HIS BAD BACK… ONE! TWO! THREE! CENA’S DONE IT! CENA’S DONE IT ONCE AGAIN! The Cenation Leader grabs the title and leaps into the crowd, enveloped by the rabid Bostonians as he hugs his family, only for the referee to come and… TAKE THE GOLD AWAY? He points to the instant replay, and it shows that due to Cena’s injured spine, he couldn’t get a high enough bridge on Punk, leaving his own shoulders on the mat as well, making it a draw, and meaning that…
John Cena and CM Punk fought to a draw (26:50), meaning CM Punk retains the WWE Title
Cena simply looks defeated as an exhausted Punk embraces the title, both he and Heyman obviously just relieved. Cena may not have to say that he respects the WWE Champion, as he didn’t lose, but the atmosphere is sour as he exits the same way he entered - titleless.

Looking for soemthing new, this is a list of everything I have watched, or tried to watch and wasn't too interested. I would say about 75% of this list I have watched.
I like fantasy shows with a leveling system. I don't like "fan service", but can tolerate it if its not consistent.
Edit: there may be 2 or more shows that are not out yet, but peaked my interest.

Re:Dive Edit: Missed it on my list Reincarnated as a Sword

If you check the franchise pages in basketball reference one of the items they show is the teams best player (by Win Shares) for every season in team history. I was curious about who the worst best players were and looked them up for every team.
I made a few ground rules to start, most of which were unnecessary. No ABA (or BBA) teams counted, no pre 1950 stats, but those were irrelevant anyways. I didn't count first year expansion teams because that seemed like cheating, but that only came up once. I also didn't count the lockout year, which would have been two teams entry.
I used Win Shares, basketball reference's catchall stat intended to be a basketball version of WAR. It's a flawed stat, but anything you use to make this kind of broad generalization will be flawed and this is an easy one to find so I went with it.
A couple of items stood out when I did this. The worst best player of all time being on 2011-12 Charlotte was unsurprising. Several good to great players making the list was surprising.
Indiana was a surprise, if you asked me to name an NBA team that never has a really bad season I would probably have guessed Boston or the Lakers, because of all the rings, but Indiana has only had one year below 30 wins since the 80's and never been below 20 wins in franchise history, something neither the Lakers or Celtics can claim.
Anyways, here's the list from worst to best all time:

• 2011-12 Bobcats/Hornets (7-59) Derrick Brown 2.3
  
• 1992-93 Mavericks (11-71) Derek Harper 2.7

• 1997-98 Nuggets (11-71) Anthony Goldwire 3.0
  
• 2023-24 Grizzlies (27-55) Desmond Bane 3.1
  
• 2014-15 Bucks (15-67) John Henson 3.3
  
• 1989-90 Magic (18-64) Otis Smith 3.3
  
• 2022-23 Spurs (22-60) Tre Jones 3.4
  
• 2011-12 Wizards (20-46) John Wall 3.5
  
• 2017-18 Bulls (27-55) Bobby Portis 3.8
  
• 2011-12 Hornets/Pelicans (21-45 Jarrett Jack 3.8
  
• 1999-00 Warriors (19-63) Donyell Marshall 3.8 (98-99 D Marshall 3.0)
  
• 1997-98 Clippers (17-65) Lamond Murray 3.8 (98-99 Tyrone Nesby 3.1)
  
• 2015-16 Suns (23-59) Mirza Teletović 3.8
  
• 1982-83 Rockets (14-68) Allen Leavell 3.8 *2020-21 Jae'Sean Tate
  
• 2021-22 Pistons (23-59) Saddiq Bey 4.0
  
• 1997-98 Raptors (16-66) Doug Christie 4.0
  
• 2011-12 Cavaliers (21-45) Kyrie Irving 4.1 (tied w/Walt Wesley 1970-71)
  
• 1989-90 Heat (18-64 Sherman Douglas 4.4
  
• 2007-08 Sonics/Thunder (20-62) Nick Collison 4.5
  
• 2013-14 Lakers (27-55) Jodie Meeks 4.5
  
• 1992-93 Kings (25-57) Waymon Tisdale 4.5
  
• 2004-05 Hawks (13-69) Josh Childress 4.6
  
• 1991-92 TWolves (15-67) Doug West 4.6
  
• 1989-90 Nets (17-65) Sam Bowie 4.7
  
• 2013-14 Utah (25-57) Derrick Favors 5.1
  
• 2013-14 Celtics (25-57) Brandon Bass 5.1
  
• 2014-15 Pacers (38-44) George Hill 5.4
  

Spent a while studying all the upcoming events, and marked up all the event guides with attainable emoji/available box prizes. Thank you IceJD this is now probably one of the most fun parts of the game.
It works out that if I play the game as it is presented, there is little chance of winning any new emoji or completing many events, which makes it feel pointless. However, if I start using 2DT, I can plan to save gems, and use what charges I have, to level up the required emoji and then I can complete nearly all the events and win quite a few new emoji.
Maybe it’s just where I am at in the game but it feels like it has been designed purposely this way. Are JamCity now trying to actively encourage this behaviour??? It feels like they are designing it for those who use all tricks/cheats and forgetting how unappealling it makes it to everyone else.
If anyone is comfortable discussing it please could you share if 2DT is worth the risks?

Issues I see with his working style: 1. Declines the China breach in Ladakh, even when people in the BJP are coming forward stating the ground reality, that we've been breached -- Takes national security for granted, while falsely advertising it 2. Prioritises positive PR than substance -- Else he wouldn't have declined the China breach. 3. Has made a joke out of diplomacy- as 'sigma' Dr. Jaishankar's red-eyed memes are, I'm worried he has done more harm than good by being borderline reckless, breaking India's longstanding protocols of not taking sides. 4. Surrounds himself with yes-men who can't answer questions of their own portfolio, when there are so damn many gems at his disposal who'd do the job phenomenally. 5. Diminishes promising leadership -- removal of Nitin Gadkari from BJP's parliamentary board 6. Extremely poor handling of sensitive matters of women assault -- Prajwal Ravanna, Hathras.... (sends a chill down my spine to root for a party that doesn't act on such incidents) 7. Mismanagement of Ram Mandir This is a 2 layered issue. Firstly, Modi ji himself reportedly had no role in playing out of this judgement in our favour, yet he's absolutely no problem taking credit for it. (Poor ethics) Secondly, when you have decided to make this achievement your own, at least do it properly, in a way that your actions don't turn away H'ble Shankaracharyas. This was a shocker (incompetent planning and poor judgment) 8. Isn't nearly as friendly to businesses as portrayed, promotes crony-capitalism over free markets A significant share of profits to be donated at his disposal to be able to do business. Ease of doing business it is. 👏 9. Hyperfocuses the Hindi heartland at the cost of ignoring other states Southern states contribute a hell lot to and get nothing in return, not even our PMs empathetic ears. Now I realise it's a common issue with all our governments, but someday dissent might just get out of hands, and his pro-Hindi image isn't going to help out a lot. 10. Goes against the strengths of the former BJP- class, substance, courage, meritocracy Vajpeyee ji had an aura of a reformer. His love for the ideology he believed in was evident from his conduct. I miss it. 11. Blatantly uses Dharma for personal gains This is kind of personal. Dharma is a phenomenon that maintains order in a society. It's not an instrument to hold on to power, as rulers in the mediaeval West have done. It's best if our faith isn't diluted with personal agendas of mortal humans. For instance, Modi Ji's answer to a Maharashtrian farmer's question in his campaign was Jai Shree Ram. A PM candidate can and should do a hell lot better than that, but he is too comfortable with his tactics. 12. Crippling the economy -- I still don't understand why Nirmala Sitaraman had the post that she had. 13. Publishing false statistics -- The official numbers coming the public's way are inflated and manipulated, as pointed out by many individuals. How's this not cheating your own voter base?
Edit:

1. Fashions himself as an a God, an immortal, the परमात्मा -- claims to have brought Shri Ram ji, but ironically forgotten his own मर्यादा
   
2. Has put India in a position of geopolitical stalemate with ALL of it's formidable neighbours.
   

Now while I'm also an admirer of BJP's work in the past decade- hypergrowth in infrastructure, push for digital, simplification & digitization of government paperwork, not overspending on freebies, I feel the above pointers are too serious to ignore in a PM candidate.
I really don't buy into the 'Modi nahi to kaun?' nonsense. There's Nitin Gadkari, and you can't ignore his existence.
I'll keep updating the list if I remember anything else.
I've let go off so many opportunities abroad to stay in India, but when I see Indian politicians stand in the way of their own party who can do a hell lot of a better job, it makes me rethink my choices.
But am I the only one with these concerns?

Given the first game have been out for a while and the second is in early access, I have been wondering if you guys have any potential hot takes about the first game and maybe hope they get fixed in hades 2? I have a few so I’ll start out:
1: I feel like heat in hades 1 is pretty flawed, at least when it comes to the rewards because you can’t stack heat reward. If your weapon is at level 1 heat and you raise it to level 5, you’re still only getting level 1 head rewards, so the game doesn’t really reward you for taking on extra heat, even though all of the skelly challenges are basically the fact that 9 times out of 10, you’re going way over the usual heat limit. I’m assuming the biggest reason why supergiant doesn’t allow you to stack heat rewards is due to the fear of maybe the player getting too op too quickly due to all the extra resources they’re gathering, but I still wished you could maybe at least get rewarded by going a bit over the heat limit by like one or two more points. Idk how fear works in hades 2 yet since I haven’t beaten Chronos yet, but I do hope they do improve upon it.

1. Speaking of the skelly challenges, I will admit personally I wished we had some kind of way to sort of in game “cheat” in the 32 heat mode challenge, like say if your max out Skellies bond you can try and smooth talk him into lowering the heat requirements, or maybe just letting you skip the challenge all together, because personally I feel like 32 heat is a huge difficulty spike if you try to do it and it honestly feels almost bs levels of difficult if you ask me. Though I’m aware this is definitely a more personal hot take.
   
2. I feel like the grinding in this game if you want to try and 100% it does feel REALLY tedious at times, like again tying into heat, you really can only get 2 titan blood, 1 Diamond and ambrosia per run, maybe 1 extra titan blood or Diamond if you get lucky with Charon at the temple. And when it comes to those resources, it does feel like the game ask for a CRAP TON of those resources for whatever you wanna get, like say trying to max out every weapon and their aspects, and you need mountains and buckets of gems and darkness to get every house decor or mirror aspects maxed out.
   

But yeah those are my hot takes for the game, definitely interested to know what other kind of hot takes are out there.

Do you have a free tool that you use for your business?
I'm curating this directory of free (absolutely free) tools and resources for founders and creators, with some gems like:

• Micro SaaS Ideas Generator
• SaaS Metrics Cheat Sheet & Calculator
• SaaS Financial Forecasting Tool

Would love to add more to the database and help everyone discover more tools to use in their business.
Cheers!

I 26F broke up with my boyfriend (26) of 4 years last week.
Relationship advice here often seems so clear- so&so cheated, is an AH, controlling etc.
But none of those things are true of him. He’s just a gem of a guy and I love him deeply and he’s loved me since we were practically kids.
Maybe I’m being dramatic, but I can’t imagine letting anyone that close again. I can’t imagine anyone getting me so well. This sucks
We’re completely incompatible… totally not aligned in many important ways. A Picese (me) and Aries who’s approach to life is fundamentally at odds.
Then, I’m also just in a really low place atm and am not doing a very good job taking care of myself and I find that despite knowing that I need to focus on my own needs, I’m always worrying about his first. He doesn’t ask for this and tbh I’m doing a shit job at being a support to him despite all this worry because I’m just feeling low low.
So, I shared with him that I realized we have a different approach to life and I’m also not doing well and need to focus on myself.
We have 12 more months on our lease 🙃 I’m not in a place to move quickly and neither is he so we’re doing the roommate thing for now I guess🥸.
We’ve been tiptoeing around each other, finishing the last of the shared grocery’s and having very casual conversation and a couple of heart to hearts pretty much 6 feet apart. We did fight over who got the master bedroom, I won, but I gave him the bed.
We had a long talk tonight. A fun talk. Just chatted and joked. The kind of talk I’ve wanted to have for weeks but we were so out of sync.
Am I selfish for allowing this happen? He’s heartbroken, I’m heartbroken. There is a big part of me that wants to work it out, but I don’t want to lead him on.
Has anyone been through something similar?

Basic Rules:
Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing, house). You will most likely need to use CC for some of these colors.
The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them.
Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward.
Keep the lifespan on long (normal may not be long enough for certain generations).
You must have only 1 child to keep the generations coming, but can’t play as them until the current heir dies. You must reset the age to Young Adult upon switching to the next heir and can work on some of the next heir’s requirements while they are living with the current heir, but they can’t move out until the heir dies.
You will have to have most (if not all) expansion packs and DLC to play this challenge properly.
If the offspring dies before the heir dies, or if the heir dies before having children, then it’s game over.

Well this will be a hard one to write. Sports are brutal and it is not a business for feelings or certainly caring about them. So here are a sample of my biggest sports heartbreaks by teams:
New Jersey Devils - there aren't many since the team hasn't been fairly successful. But one that sticks out is game 2 of the 2012 Stanley cup finals. We made it there, were expecting to win, and after game 1 that mentality stayed. We could not go down 2-0 versus the kings where they would head back to home ice. And instead after a long brutal overtime period, Jeff Carter shot a fluke screened shot after circling around the net that beat the devils at home to go up 2-0. I kind of knew then that we were dead in the water, a brutal way to go out, especially as a young man. Other than that, there aren't that many brutal losses, we knew we were mediocre this season, and I didn't even expect the team to beat the rangers after going down 2-0.
New York Yankees - to be honest after the embarrassment of the 2018 playoffs I haven't watched a Yankees postseason since then. The game that particularly sticks out as heartbreaking is game 6-7 ALCS, we were one goddamn win from the World Series. We probably wouldn't have won but that was a damn team of destiny that was bound to win it all, even against a harsh dodgers squad. Not only was game 7 brutal as Aaron judge and the great Bronx bombers got brutalized from the astros pitching, but learning later the astros cheated, and seeing how poorly they did away from Houston, made it hurt even more.
Brooklyn Nets - yeah the last couple of years haven't been kind to Brooklyn. They had the big 3, and they continued to be only together for less than 20 games. Kyrie got injured, and harden was hobbling around vs Milwaukee. But what hurts even more than that is they were a Bruce brown flub away from going up 3-0. And then game 7, a game I couldn't even watch live, I just listened to it and refreshed the box score as I worked deliveries. And to find out they lost game 7, and find out about Kevin durant's foot, messed me up for a couple of weeks. It further messed me up when harden requested a trade, and then the ensuing kyrie and kd trades which completely dismantled a championship core. To see kyrie in the finals after what he did to the big 3 is hurtful in more ways than one, he couldn't keep it together with harden AND kd?!?!? The nets are now in purgatory, and I don't know if they'll ever get out of it.
New York Jets - here is the big one, the team that has given me so much grief since 2009 that they have genuinely killed my love of football. I still love football, but have been more consumed with the coaching side of it more than the actual gameplay (the lack of defense certainly doesn't help). So I think with the jets I'll just create a dotted list of every heartbreak since there are plenty:
2009: jets lose to colts in afc championship game
2010: remember vividly breaking down crying when Steelers went up 24-0 on jets in afc championship game
2011: remember being brutally embarrassed as the giants punked the jets and continued to win the SB afterward
2012: the butt fumble was embarrassing, but that whole game and season was already an embarrassment. The worst part about the big bright lights of NY, is that if the jets had this kind of season in Tennessee no one would care
2013: just a mediocre team that made me happy than they made me sad, so not the worst season ever
2014: embarrassing at every turn, geno smith throwing 4 ints against buffalo was brutal, that mike Vick game against Pittsburgh was kind of fun though
2015: week 17 was the last chance the jets have had to make the playoffs since 2010, and they haven't come close since. I told my parents I was cool with it, but truthfully I was broken.
2016: Fitzpatrick throwing 5 ints vs chiefs was something else, brutal and annoying. Just a wasted season where no one really did anything good
2017: shocking season because of how decent they were before mcccown went down. Still would like to see John Morton get a second chance at coordinator. Also not talked nearly enough how great McCown was for the season. Still hurts because they went with Jamal Adams even after hiring mahomes' assistant coach from Texas tech, AND trying out him twice AND needing a qb for the season that wasn't 36 years old
2018: good lord, Maccagnan set this franchise back a decade without an offensive line. Darnold could have been genuinely good and we ruined him. Some fun wins here and there, but keeping Bowles and letting him ruin the development of darnold was an interesting choice.
2019: hiring Adam gase is some of the lowest parts of my sports fandom, we saw his moronic nature, the way he would look down and throw players under the bus, good lord he was a moron immediately. The jets either got blown out or won extremely close games which is never promising. Letting Mac hire him and hire Douglas AFTER free agency and leaving him with gase is still amazing to me in its ineptitude.
2020: we were set up for the perfect tank season, and we could have gone winless, and we SHOULD HaVE. We are the only 2 win team in nfl history to not get the #1 pick at the draft. That doesn't encapsulate the jets I don't know what does. We select Zach Wilson instead because of mahomes hype, and we all know how that turned out
2021: this season was awful and I honestly don't remember anything other than Mike white looking like the truth and then throwing 4 ints vs buffalo
2022: a defense so good that with a #16 nfl quarterback would have been playoff bound. Started 6-3 as well
2023: a whole offseason of hype and Rodgers goes down 4 plays in. I don't think I'll ever get excited for the jets ever again, heck in sports ever again. It genuinely broke my soul and I haven't been excited for anything since, the devils having a 52 win season was fun but I was still whatever about it. The season continued to be a disaster, and I still facepalm over the thought that we were 7-10 even with it being a disaster, and we had no backup plan to speak of at QB. Another wasted season, the jets give them out like candy, no competitive drive, ever.
2024: We'll see. We either ball out and at best win or go to a Super Bowl. At worst Rodgers gets injured again, Rodgers plays like 2015 manning, or we make the playoffs and are immediately eliminated like the 1993 oilers, to where the whole team is dismantled. I've never seen a team ride an entire franchise on the hopes of a single season, but it is true, if the jets don't win or go to a superbowl the whole team will have to rebuild AGAIN. And the playoff drought will continue

Hey there LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos but to everyone (my fellow potatoes) here it's a very long/ongoing situation. This story also includes another person that is a now a close friend as we trauma bond on our ex :) it is long and ill include my backstory first.
I was 24 and met my ex Leech (not real name) on tinder. I had just moved to a very big well known city. I was not looking for a relationship and voiced that from the start as i was seeing other men and was particularly wanting to have fun in this city. hit it off very well to the point where we played video games, where it led to me and Leech to our first date. that date was great got boba and talk to the point where he needed to use the bathroom. Where I lived most places didn't or let us use the bathroom so we went to my place since it was a literal 2 min walk from where we was at. We ended up talking some more and finally realized it was 3 am. the parking garage was closed and we could not get his car out so we stayed at my place. well we talked more and ended up doing the deed...heat of the moment thing. relationship kept going as I was working and learning how to code (there is a reason to this later on). On multiple occasions I stated I didn't want to meet his family cause that would cause the relationship to actually being bf/gf. well first red flag he lied to me about his age (which he told me he was my age at the time). 2nd red flag he also told me he lied that he had a job (this dude was unemployed and I paid for most of the dates we went on and he lived with his mom) He was in fact 30 when I just turned 25 after 2 months of talking....I brushed it off as my friends told me to "Run". Me being me gave him a chance cause he was "nice and sweet." later on I met his sister cause he tricked me into meeting his sister as a cover of lets go to the movies cause his friends couldn't go...from then on I met his family... I taught him how to look for jobs cause he was incapable of looking for jobs and teaching him things he should already know. It was going good 2 months later got preggers and had a abortion because he talked me into it, because this was not good for either of us and I was working on being a software engineer. (knowing its hard to have kids for me and it was a off chance that i actually got preggers) needless to say after this is when the fights started and we eventually broke up after 4 more months. After the brake up I went to therapy cause of all the manipulation and thinking I was such a terrible person (during our breakup he told me I was like his ex, blamed me for no money when I paid for the dinners, and him being fat and him losing sight of his "goals"), I was finally feeling better and moved back in with my dad in a different city.
After a whole year of getting myself together, I meet with my now bf who treats me like the world and we've been together for 2 years now. Recently this year, a girl messages me on Instagram. I accepted the request and read that she was now the ex (this girl is a gem, lets call her Gem cause ya know...) of Leech. Now my jaw dropped to the ground and my heart stopped cause Gem was wanting to hear my side of the story. why did my jaw and heart stop...CAUSE THIS GIRL WAS A LITERAL COPY OF ME! LOOKS DOWN TO THE T!!!! my friends and dad even said so. after talking to my bf I agreed to talk to Gem and tell her everything that happened like it happened yesterday. When I tell you the call was literally 8 hours that call was literally 8 hours. when I told her my side she was so scared cause he kind of used the same tactics on me with her other than he stole my personality and the things I like to get to her. We bonded over it and realized that he was also cheating on me when I dated him...and manipulated both of us. Only difference is she was older and had a stronger mindset then I did. she stood up to him more than I did. He had a fetish for asians....I was his first asian gf...when I saw his twitter full of porn that she had shown me it was insane. proceeds to tell her I was one of the most evil vile person to him but not as evil as his first ex (which he called the devil). He has a weird thing about looking young and acting like a child. He loved girls that looked young...when I say young I mean YOUNG!!!! He constantly compare her to me, like he did with me to his past ex. then comment that she was cubby and dark skinned. then mentions me cause I was skinnier and more pale... ONTO the REVENGE>>>
We devised a plan and now banned up with all the exes...<3 to help her in the case of finding out that we were not crazy!!!! he was manipulating all of us. To help her get over that trauma we helped her and got her help. Now we are planning to crash his anime con that he loves to go to and post up with all the exes...I have him blocked but the other girlies don't. On top of now I fully understand and can code cause I took that whole year to focus on that career...which I now hack into scammers technology and scare them...I am using this for my own benefit and scaring him... He now has a good job but not for long after posting that he sleeps at his jobs and don't actually do his job hence him always losing his job. as well as messaging my friend, the manager (of the well known company) he is hired at, of what he does at his job. I know its petty for me and bad that I do all these things, but knowingly and purposely ruining women mentally destroying their mental health will not slide with me. I took it upon myself to help these women on getting their revenge. As I already got my peace and very happy. I hope these women grow from what he has done, cause if I ever get married they are all invited. They are all so beautiful and has such an amazing soul :) will update everything when the trip and the firing finally goes through.

So I know enchantment is generally viewed as underpowered and kinda useless and that there are 100 reasons to not waste your time to level it, but I just had a thought that totally makes enchantment as it stands EXTREMELY balanced pretty much as it stands.
To start, you have to remind yourself that this is, at its core, an RP mod list. You’re meant to lose yourself in this world. With this in mind, I decided to do a play through that is as RP as you can get. I’m not quite brave enough to play permadeath cuz legit accidents happen, but I refuse to put myself in a situation where getting one shot is totally on the table when I’m in a situation where the best I can do is run from the threat. I’ve been super interested in really diving into spell research (it’s always seemed overwhelming, so I’ve only poked at it), so I settled on a mage that’s Im thinking is gunna be a kinda alt/conj/resto focused Jack-of-all trades just… magic user.
Couple cheats I allowed myself: Two player house mods. First house is Hulga, a SUPER cute little house outside of whiterun across the road from the meadery. I imagine myself having been living with my aunt while apprenticing with the local alchemist. The aunt is one of the healers who spends their days at the temple of kynareth. She’s called to Helen and dies in the fire. So yeah. It’s a free starting house, but it makes sense to not have to start with NOTHING as an existing citizen.
Second house mod is a loft apartment above bits and pieces where I live for the cost of the solitude mailbox rental fee while “apprenticing” with the court mage.
Another mod I got adds a pack of wild horses that roam whiterun. In my head I healed one that was injured, and we bonded. Sue me for wanting something a little more endearing than just going and buying one. Whatever.
Lastly, I picked up Lucien and Inigo. Waiting for the right moment to actually pick up inigo, but I snagged Lucien on the way to Solitude head canoning that is also apprenticing in solitude and he’s paying me to tutor him instead of travel with him and keep him alive or whatever.
(Seriously considering doing a little questing with jzargo before letting him die or triggering him to attack me and killing him off to head canon him as Inigo when we meet up with him swearing off magic just like he once swore off skooma)
All this is to say, my demands for funds are admittedly lower than maybe what is originally intended, which mostly just means I was able to put more money into leveling Enchanting early into the game.
So in my play through, I spend most of the time living my life as a civilian, however, sometimes I gotta hit the road. Skyrim is a dangerous place, and people are getting attacked on the road all the time. When I’m all squishy the LAST thing I wanna do, I walk around all flashy in my college robes, because that’s like asking to get robbed. Those things sell for an easy couple hundred gold. So an admittedly less effective but way more tolerable alternative? Enchanted common clothing!!!
This has changed my game. I mean sure, im not gunna be able to take down a dragon or vampire, or even another mage, but I can definitely handle any bandits, theives or wild animals I might encounter on the road.
Which got me thinking about it from an end game perspective.
Let’s say I’m a godlike mage and the Dragonborn with all the best gear in the game. There’s literally zero need to wear it unless your taking on a dragon priest or dragon or vampire den or whatever. So the rest of the time, some beefed up clothing will carry you decently comfortably through most of the content. Most notably, it makes sense that you won’t be able to enchant something to the same standard as some ageless legendary weapon…
That being said, I have what I think is a great idea of a mod for specifically the enchanting tree. In my vision there is branch each for enchanting armoclothing, weapons and battle staffs The master perk triggers a quest taking you to a custom legendary forge (like the skyforge, but for enchanting).
At this point, you go through some kind of ritual which gives all your enchantments a buff (you can now craft expert level college level gear) and unlocks a new skill tree, which are expansions of the original 4. Each branch allows you to start customizing one item and quests at the enchantment forge place are triggered upon spending perk points which are all either gathering rare ingredients or retrieving a legendary item (maybe from through a portal to different planes of oblivion? I’m getting ahead of myself).
Endgame would be an insane item that, theoretically, you have to spend a LOT of time on. An example of what I have in mind for the staff branch, is a staff with customizable stat buffs, the ability to load it with more than one soul gem for xtra charges and cast more than one spell. To make things balanced, I would lock the multi/spell ability behind other skill caps (ex. in order to make it be able to conjure something, you need to have your conjuration at master. Same with the multi gem charge thing.) This balances things, because you’d need to be a master of every school of spell you want to bind to it, a staff with 3 spells required a minimum of 4 trees to be maxed out. Weapon enchants would require master alteration and destruction, and armor would require master alteration and smithing. All requiring learning (through a spell learning patch) a specific master level enchanting spell in the necessary school(s) and a time does not exist.
It would basically be your life’s work.
At that point, you are probably going to be a figure of legend, and future adventurers will be braving their own dangers to try and get their hands on your legendary weapon.
So yeah. I think the idea behind Enchanting as it stands is great. With this enchanting mod addition, it could be godly.

I just got it today and went to claim my rewards that I already have and when I clicked on some of the rewards it gave the reward to me but I could click it again and get it one more time. And I checked my outfits I only have 1 willow tree outfit unlocked on the rewards thing but I have 2 dresses for it. Same thing with the gems I got 25 twice. Hopefully I don’t get banned for cheating cause I didn’t do this on purpose it just happened.

SET ENCOUNTERS

LUSIAN FOREST - 2 in 6 chance per day to encounter a nymph
The hired bandits who attacked the Prince were killed by Kirkroy's forces (scenario A1 and A3), and their bodies are buried on the outskirts of the forest (choose a convenient hex).
Deep within the forest, "the path routes through a clearing, nearly reclaimed by the forest, where a statue of a man ascends the first step of a stone platform." From a wedding ceremony, long ago, he clawed at the necklace of strangulation still at his throat. The spell stone to flesh saved his life but was never reversed. The name of the bride-to-be graces this forest, but the true history, and even the legends and lies, have all been forgotten in Dunador.
Lusian, alone, wanders this forest she cannot leave. She wears a crown of flowers that has turned her into a Nymph (AC:9 MR:50% save vs Spells:17 HD3 20hp if seen, save vs Spells or blinded, she casts spells as a 7th Level Druid) If she gains surprise, she will warn PC's not to look at her; if the PC's gain surprise, they will definitely see her and be potentially blinded. If the PC's aren't hostile or scary, she can offer safe harbor and magical assistance (cure light wounds, cure disease, neutralize poison, dispel magic). She can also report that she witnessed the Prince's "rescue" from bandits and subsequent escort north along the road by Aimar's forces (golden lion crest), but not Kirkroy, specifically. Though starved of human contact, Lusian is likely to let you leave. She can also be trusted to babysit a blinded or blindfolded Prince, if asked. Note: Patriarch Clavin will arrive at Fontenmere on d8 and can cure blindness
NOREN WOOD
Each night, there is a 2 in 6 chance to encounter d8+1 Shadows (AC:7 +1 or better weapon to hit Save vs Spells:17 HD3+3 15hp THAC0:16 d4+1 and strength drain) There are a total of 16 Shadows here. Any turned by a Cleric can return in a later encounter, but it is possible to clear the forest of all 16.
MONTINELLE
Note: Peasant Huts, Marketplace, and Jousting Field are now outside the walls. The Huts remaining within the walls are now for respected (-ahem- paying) merchants and, presently, the mercenaries.
Peasant Huts and Marketplace: 4 pairs of Lvl0 Fighters (AC:7 mace) are "security"
Peasant Huts: Lemus the drunkard (in Peasant Huts outside the walls) Lvl0 AC:10 1hp non-combatant

• original clues: identified the disguised Prince and his company on Day-16, heard that they feared they were being followed; a monk arrived, presumably from Fontenmere, on Day-2 with an arrow in his back but not seen since
• "The monk probably got what's coming to him - those monks have their own agenda"
• "If you didn't want to be found, you'd head to the forests or Moorlands" (everyone in Dunador fears the forests of Andevar, but Lemus is correct in a roundabout way - Griffon Castle is on the outskirts of the forest across the River)
• "Ha! If you want to get into the citadel, get arrested and thrown in the dungeon."

Marketplace: inns and taverns and rumors (d12 patrons, 1 in 6 chance of d6 Ram’s Head mercenaries, 1 in 6 chance of d4 Aimar's off-duty guards)
Gate: guards Rene and Monty (Lvl2 Fighter AC:4 16hp 16Str speashort sword) and Sergeant-at-Arms (Lvl3 Fighter AC:4 24hp broadsword)
(The PC's probably aren't wearing any markings, like the cross of Dunador, lion of Aimar, raven of Edrin, or ram of the Ram's Head mercenaries) What is your business here? What news from the south? Are you joining the wilderness patrols searching for the Prince? (because the huts and market are now outside, the PC's will not be permitted through the gate without adequate explanation)

• original clue: in addition to the mercenaries' 60 names on the sign-in sheet are Prince Edmund's pseudonym coming (d-16) and going (d-15), comically annotated in Rene's handwriting as "Prince"; Kirkroy's coming (d-18) and going (d-15); registering with an arrow in his back, Theran's arrival (d-2) is also recorded, because the gate guards were just following procedures (Aimar never expected Edrin to sack the abbey, but Bracken now knows the abbey was attacked by someone and sent Dumas to investigate)
• these guards are familiar with honest merchants, the best pub, and most peasants. They hold a dim view of Lemus
• "Those muttonheads arrived [d-5]" - Rene (she doesn't like the boorish mercenaries) "Duke Aimar didn't even bother to greet them" - Monty

Castle grounds: 4 pairs Lvl0 Fighter (AC:7 mace), 6 War Dogs (AC:6 save vs Spells17 HD2+2 15hp THAC0:16 2d4) and their 2 handlers (Lvl1 Fighter AC:8 mace)
Castle grounds: Ram's Head mercenaries: Captain (Lvl6 Fighter AC:3 17str THAC0:15 battle axe d8+1); 4 Sergeants (Lvl3 Fighter AC:2 longsword/javelin); 30 veterans (Lvl1 Fighter AC:2 longsword/javelin); 10 recruits (Lvl0 Fighter AC:2 longsword/javelin)

• "We are in the employ of the King." (they mean Edrin, in contrast to the Ram's Head mercenaries at Capel Tower under Aimar's secret son, Dram)

Barracks (the night shift): 8 Lvl1 Fighters (AC:10 short sword), 16 Lvl0 Fighters (AC:10 short sword or mace)
Citadel: 8 Lvl2 Fighters - 2 on the roof (AC:7 shortbow, longsword), 2 at the door (AC:7 spear), 4 sleeping in Room 2 (AC:10 longsword)
Citadel Room 1 Bracken's room: Bracken (Lvl6 Fighter AC:2 42hp THAC0:15 broadsword+1 2d4+1 and net of entrapment) TREASURE: chest of linens and silks (100 gp), chest of 300 gp 400 sp, jeweled short sword (200 gp), saddle with silver inlay (600 gp), delete chime of opening

• original clues: journal entries about Kirkroy, and now includes reassignment of troops for the wilderness patrol seeking the Prince and for "the castle" (clearly this does not refer to Montinelle)
• when Bracken inspects his troops, it is clear that he is antagonistic to the Ram's Head commander here; he may mutter that he doesn't take orders from the Captain, only the sub-commander (unspecified, but it's Dram at Capel Tower, and Bracken knows Dram's parentage)

Citadel Room 2 Barracks: TREASURE: spear +1, sack of 300 sp
Citadel Room 3 Kitchen and Pantry: Matlocke (Lvl3 Thief AC:10 hp12 Pick Pockets 40% THAC0:20 weaponless), Lurulu (young woman, taking a name from King of Elfland's Daughter) and Pip (young boy) are Matlocke's assistants (AC:10 save vs Spells:19 Lvl0 1hp non-combatants)

• Original clues: recognized the Prince on Day-16; Aimar left Montinelle on Day-6; Kirkroy arrived Day-18 and left Day-15
• Pip or Lurulu: Matlocke is mean; Matlocke cheats or steals from guards; Pip recently brought food down to a prisoner when Matlocke was too lazy; Bracken usually takes meals with Aimar, but Aimar isn't here; Kirkroy had dinner with Bracken while here between d-18 and d-15

Citadel Room 4 Storage Chamber: TREASURE: behind a secret door, casks of fine brandy/ale/mead, a small box with a potion of sweet water
Citadel Room 6 Study: TREASURE: paperweight (gold lion worth 200 gp), delete the scroll trap

• Original clues: financial records and affairs of state - King Halfred's seizing of lands north of the Abbey to be ceded to the monks, tax revenue, taxes and tithes paid, and regular payroll, which now includes repeated separate line items for Kirkroy (substantially more this month, which Kirkroy collected on the day before chasing the Prince) and an unnamed Ram's Head mercenary (Dram)
• secret stash of clues: (delete the scroll with feeblemind curse) supplemental ledger including gifts for Riannon, a mysterious large lump sum of money (from Edrin), and Aimar's own payments of bribes that notably include routine payments to "Bruce" (alias of a criminal widely known throughout Dunador, head of the Thieves' Guild in Dunthrane), payments to Dumas, and a single sizeable entry for someone named Kell on Day -21.

Citadel Room 7: Great Hall: TREASURE: 3 candelabras (200 gp each), locked box with silver serving set (1000 gp)
Citadel Room 8 Servants' Quarters: TREASURE: giant beaver pelt (rug) worth 1000 gp
Citadel Room 9 Duke's chamber: delete the Invisible Stalker, add an Imp in raven form (AC:2 silver or magical weapons to hit, MR:25% save vs Spells:13 immune to fire, cold, electricity HD2+2 15hp THAC0:16 d4+poison) if the PC's start looting, the "raven" will speak and cast suggestion "go upstairs to get help to carry this stuff" and will avoid combat (turns invisible at will and/or flies out a window) TREASURE: chest 1500 gp, 500 sp; ducal collar (200 gp), chainmail +2, battleaxe +2, broadsword+1, Keougtum's Ointment (5 doses), spellbook: Read Magic, Wizard Lock, Fireball
Dungeon D1: the jailor, Ranu, is vigilantly sleeping (Lvl4 Fighter AC:7 26hp club) TREASURE (hidden): 50 gp, 50 sp, 300 cp, jewelry worth total 10 gp
Dungeon D2: TREASURE: wine
Dungeon Cell D5: Theran (Lvl0 AC:10 dying with 0hp of 3hp non-combatant)

• original clues: "I fled [d-2] fron Fontenmere Abbey. We were attacked by bandits, and Patriarch Hobb dispatched me to Montinelle to seek aid from Duke Aimar. Instead, I was met and imprisoned here by Sir Bracken - that villain!" (note: in scenario M2, Theran would be stashed in Citadel Room 1, Bracken's room under better treatment)
• Theran will declare that Sir Bracken follows Duke Aimar's treachery, but Theran does not know that Aimar is not at Montinelle and Theran's certainty will waver if told by the PC's
• -gasp- "Seek the Scepter of Dunador at the Abbey. Though Aimar's minions would know the Scepter, if these truly were but bandits, they might not have taken it!" -croak-

FONTENMERE ABBEY
Abbey Room 2: delete the spiders
Abbey Room 3: delete the handwritten note "Capel"
Abbey Room 4: delete crossbow+1
Abbey Room 6: found here between day0 - day4 is Dumas (originally named Menlow) (Lvl4 Thief AC:7 leather 15dex save vs Spells:15 15hp THAC0:20 short sword) TREASURE: two altar cloths (50 gp each), gold cross of Dunador (150 gp can't be fenced locally), 10 gp, 40 sp

• Original clue: Patriarch Hobb's letter addressed to HOLLEND at Dunthrane, now dated as d-3: "Edrin's forces have entered Andevar. I fear for the Prince's safety. You know better than I the motives of the nobles and Royal Council. Can Aimar be trusted to protect the Prince?"
• Dumas tries to worm his way out of trouble (or uses Patriarch Hobb's ghostly appearance as a distraction); he will claim to be from the Westlands and heading to the Drake & Castle Inn; he will deceptively advise PC's that there are bandits on the roads and taking the forest paths is best
• Dumas knows the Royal Guard and Ram's Head mercenaries were in Andevar before day-3, but he assumes other agents of Edrin sacked the Abbey on day-2 and must report back to Bracken and track down the Scepter

Abbey Room 8: spirit of Patriarch Hobb (originally named Menote) - now appears in 3 rounds after PC's enter the Abbey (this might freak out Dumas) TREASURE: delete ring of spell storing, replace with clerical scroll of remove curse, scroll of cure serious wounds, scroll of dispel magic, scroll of spiritual hammer

• Original clue: "A spirit materializes and declares itself as the Patriarch Hobb, murdered by villains who have stolen the Scepter of Dunador. He exhorts you to recover it, then fades." (true, but not specifically naming the culprits)

Abbey Room 10: cross of Dunador (500 gp can't be fenced locally), delete Manual of Bodily Health
Abbey Room 11: delete the giant boar
Abbey Room 12: delete the 40 pp and detoxin
Occupying Fontenmere on Day8 are monks from Dunthrane, led by the new Patriarch Clavin and accompanied by a caravan of supplies and an armed escort of Edrin's mercenaries and soldiers from Edrin's southern province.
Armed escort: 60 cavalry, 300 foot soldiers
Monks: 12 Lvl0 non-combatants, 2 Lvl1 Clerics, 1 Lvl3 Cleric, and Clavin (Lvl8 Cleric can neutralize poison, cure blindness, etc.)
DRAKE AND CASTLE INN - pub patrons are as usual, except any Ram's Head mercenaries here are loyal to Dram, not Edrin
TREASURE: locked chest with 200 gp, 400 sp, 200 cp, delete longsword+1
Graf and his wife, Pappiaye (Lvl 0 AC:10 2hp non-combatants)

• original clues: description of riders dressed as bandits heading north (these are Harkin's, who is unaware that Edrin is sending this subset to the Barbarians, not to search for the Prince); candid assessment of his cousin Dumas; delete the story about the Prince
• For all the talk about the search for the Prince, we've not seen any of the Royal Guard around here
• One of the guards from Barbarian Bridge recently came here with fresh wounds or scars (combat with Elli on d2)

Fenn & Swaine (Fenn Lvl0 AC:10 2hp non-combatant) (Swaine Lvl2 Fighter AC:5 16hp short sword) TREASURE: Fenn has 80 gp, Swaine has 35 gp

• original clues: a couple of weeks ago, spotted riders (bandits?) on the road heading north, possibly adding that an adolescent was with them (these are Kirkroy's forces)
• speculation: perhaps they were Barbarians? Or they are going north to attack the Barbarians? Or to bring the Barbarians south? We can alert Montinelle or Capel Tower, while you alert the other!
• We did not learn of King Halfred's demise until hearing from Graf (the news had not traveled that far north)

2 of Kirkroy's 4 guards from the Barbarian Bridge (Lvl3 Fighter AC:4 splint 24hp short sword/light crossbow) will be here on day 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 (rem: the Prince will be executed on day 14)
Harkin (Lvl4 Thief AC:4 bracers AC:6 dex16 save vs Spells:15 21hp THAC0:19 longsword+1 d8+1) TREASURE: 40gp

• Harkin will immediately return to Dunthrane in disguise after Dumas unexpected arrives on d5 and exchanges threats in Thieves' Cant, a confrontation that Graf & Pappiaye can only struggle to describe. If the PC's encounter Harkin here, he is awaiting an update from the "pilgrims" he assigned to watch the Shrine of Nevron.

VERONIAN MOUNTAIN AND SHRINE OF NEVRON
delete cave bear, possibly diminish the Shrine's benefit (originally a primary ability score increase, now substitute with increasing current and maximum hp by 1HD, so a magic-user gains 4hp, a fighter gains 10hp - no Constitution bonus)
Aimar has openly stationed six guards at the Shrine (Lvl1 Fighter AC:7 short sword)
Harkin has four disguised pilgrims (Lvl2 Fighter AC:10 15hp d4 dagger). The four disguised pilgrims will not provide rumors as other pilgrims.

• Shrine's original clue: "You seek the true heir of the kingdom. Look for him in the west, where the waters flow, where the bird [joins] the lion." (Griffon = bird+lion, lion = Aimar's crest, raven = Edrin's crest)

CAPEL TOWER
Moat: 6 giant leeches (AC:9 save vs Spells:16 HD:1 8hp THAC0:19 d4 and drain blood, 50% disease)
Entrance and Gatehouse: 2 on-duty and 2 off-duty gate guards (Lvl2 Fighter AC:4 or AC:10 6hp speashort sword) and Sigmund (Lvl4 Fighter AC:3 28hp longsword)
Towers (4): 4 pairs of Lvl1 Fighter (AC:8 short bow/short sword) - if the Tower is tipped off by Dumas, then the mercenaries and other guards need only corral the PC's in the open courtyard, where the archers can shoot the PC's (this is an original TPK scenario)
courtyard: Ram's Head mercenaries: 2 Sergeants (Lvl3 Fighter AC:2 longsword/javelin), 20 veterans (Lvl1 Fighter AC:2 longsword/d6 javelin)

• "We serve the Regent." (this subset of Ram's Head mercenaries, under Dram, would betray Edrin)

Room 4 Jailor's office: old Oswald (Lvl4 Fighter AC:8 leather 8hp retired non-combatant but treat as THAC1:20 with short sword if pressed)
Room 5 Sigmund's Room: TREASURE: 5 pearls, 6 rubies (30 gp each)
Room 6 Barracks (night shift): 4 Lvl1 Fighter (AC:10 short sword)
Room 7 Barracks (night shift): 4 Lvl1 Fighter (AC:10 6hp d6 short sword) TREASURE: delete loot from Fontenmere that Harkin's forces should have
Room 10 Cookhouse: Dewey (AC:10 save vs Spells:19 Lvl0 2hp non-combatant) TREASURE: 10 sp Dewey isn't very helpful with information, speaking almost like Eeyore in single sentences. "You're dripping blood." -pause- "Get out of the kitchen." -pause- "I'll get a mop."

• "We receive caravans of supplies regularly." "They've come more frequently for several months." "Some loaded wagons always continue north."
• "Guards from Barbarian Bridge are here every other day." "Only two, not all four." "They come for supplies." "They also go to the Drake & Castle...probably."

Room D1: Rob & Don and the recently deceased spy, Baron, are shackled here.
Rob and Don (names from The Dark Knight Returns) are brothers who recently inherited their father's farm and are imprisoned for tax delinquency (being clueless about taxes altogether) Lvl0 AC:10 5hp non-combatants

• original clue: These two are dimwits, but they will recommend speaking to Elli the hunter, who lives across the river (now east of the Barbarian Bridge), if the PC's ask any questions about the local area, forests, etc.
• They know a little about the corpse, Baron, because Oswald the jailor, being sloppy, did not separate Baron from the other prisoners and occasionally interrogated him in room D1. Baron was a disillusioned former monk who became one of Edrin's spies, but he was intentionally sent to be caught, an overt act to deflect attention away from other operatives, like Riannon and Harkin. Rob or Don will claim that "Even I could tell when that guy was lying." Abandoned by Edrin, Baron was not very reticent. Rob and Don learned that "Baron was looking for Aimar's third stronghold, which is dumb, because there are only two, Montinelle and Capel Tower." Baron also divulged whichever M1 M2 M3 scenario is currently active.

Room 14: delete composite long bow +1

• Mendal will be in Dunthrane in scenario A2 to track the PC's but is here in Capel Tower in scenarios A1 and A3. Aimar co-hired and somewhat trusts this Assassin or trusts that he can hold him as a bargaining chip or scapegoat. Mendal doesn't mind, because he can freely escape with Thief skills and invisibility, as evidenced by his retrieval of the Scepter from Harkin.
• If encountered outside of Capel Tower, Mendal is subordinate to Lann in the Thieves' Guild and knows what Lann knows (and can sell that information). He knows the doppelganger Kell is a fellow member of the Thieves' Guild but doesn't know Kell's current assignment or location. Even if the PC's show the wax-sealed scroll tube from HOLLEND, Mendal is not so easily duped as Harkin - he will greet the PC's but complain "this is no way to greet your brother" to prompt a response. Mendal may then nod assuringly, but he knows there is no real sign or password
• In scenario M3, the SCEPTER is cursed by the monks but is not affecting Mendal, who does not "possess" or wield it. In addition to rumors, suspicions, and Baron's posthumous testimony, there are several other clues and solutions: 1) when the symptoms of disease arise; 2) detect magic; 3) dispel magic and remove curse; 4) cleansing the SCEPTER in the Waters of Nevron (this notion was disseminated by the Thieves' Guildmaster, Lann, to try to maintain the status quo between Lann and Clavin).

BARBARIAN'S BRIDGE
Camped on the northern side of the bridge, Kirkroy will bar the way, issuing a challenge to a joust (see p.24). If a PC foolishly agrees, when the jousters wheel around for the second pass, Kirkroy's guards will shoot his opponent in the back! TREASURE: in their nearby camp is Kirkroy's profit-sharing bonus from Aimar - two small chests of 500 gp each

• Elli (if PC's visit her in the hills): reports that her attackers wore Aimar's crest (golden lion) and that the abandoned Griffon Castle is about a day's ride away. Note: she is recovering from the attack on Day2 (1 hp/day + 2hp/full week from 16Con). Sufficient healing by the time the PC's meet her or cure light wounds to maximum hp might permit her to join the PC's.

Aimar doesn't want to nuke this room, but he might fireball himself and Riannon (she can make her saving throw, right?). If caught unawares and not invisible, Riannon will act helpless and may try to rush out the door or may cast Sleep then Feather Fall out the window into the courtyard, where she will call her pet Griffon "Beaker" for an airlift (riding the Griffon).
if Riannon is taken as a prisoner to the parapet, she will summon her pet Griffon (AC:3 save vs Spells:13 HD7 44hp THAC0:13 d4/d4/2d8) to attack for 1 round while she will feather fall down the outer wall for retrieval by the Griffon next round. Similarly, if she escapes to the parapet, she will feather fall down the outer wall, start running away from the castle, summon the Griffon, and be whisked away (in this case, it may appear to the PC's that she is being carried away as prey.

Likely the most famous example of a player taking a mon that was unanimously used one way and using it a different way is Ray Rizzo’s bulky Thundurus at VGC World’s 2011. Previously, all Thundurus were seen as aggressive attackers, with good speed and a high special attack stat paired with thunderbolt and often an electric gem. However, Ray saw an opportunity to build a bulky Thundurus that took advantage of the combination of prankster and thunder wave (as well as swagger). This propelled him to a second consecutive world championship and drastically changed the way Thundurus was played in the coming year, leading to changes in several mechanics.
This got me thinking about other seemingly abstract ways people have used mons in the past to some success. This could be a prominent tournament result like Ray’s world’s win or it could just be something that you used with some success on the ladder. What set comes to mind for you?

Much like the Emo genre itself, finishing this series off is cathartic and bittersweet. I’ve put months and months of my spare time and effort into this project and I’m very proud of how it turned out. If even one person discovered something new that they now love through these articles, my goal has been reached. Before we continue, I want to thank everyone for all the kind words that have been said about this series. I love this genre and I really want everyone to know that all the waves deserve to be loved, including the criminally misunderstood Third Wave.
I’ll be keeping this key from the last post: 💎 next to a name means it's a hidden gem. 🎩 next to a name means it's one of the top releases of the entire wave.
The first section that we’ll cover today is Emo Proto-Revival. Now, just what in the Hell is that? To be honest, I don’t actually know. It’s a term thrown around to describe pre-Emo Revival bands that have a similar sound, a great influence on the Revival itself, feature Revival band members in older projects or otherwise just sound like they could be Emo Revival albums yet predate them. There’s naturally going to be some crossover with the Carrying the Second Wave section, given their goals of emulating the OG Midwest Emo sound. However, Proto-Revival usually has something more “modern” to set it apart, whether in production or in genre integrations. Math Rock in particular was a popular ingredient in the concoction for many of these bands, leading to the popularity of Math Rock influence in Fourth Wave Emo.

Parsing Through Proto-Revival to Bridge the Gap

Colossal - Brave The Elements (2003)

Admittedly, I could have put Colossal’s LP in this section as well and perhaps should have. However, I wanted to highlight just how unique their 2004 album was, even among other Proto-Revival releases. Their debut EP, on the other hand, is a bit more in line with what you’d imagine a Proto-Revival release would sound like: gorgeous guitar twinkles, fluctuating volume dynamics, strong trumpet presence and overall less Jazzy than their later work. However you characterize this band’s sound, you owe it to yourself as a fan of Emo to give them a listen, even if I’d be lying by saying there was any “Proto-Revival” when the genre’s dirt was still fresh.

Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start - And Nothing is #1 (2003)

How can I possibly categorize this release? Though the band was technically formed at the tail-end of the Second Wave, they did release a few songs pre-2003. Perhaps this means I should have put them in Part 1 of this series, either as a Second Wave Band or one strongly influenced by that sound. Regardless, Up Up Down Down is commonly (as common as this obscure band can be) referred to as a Proto-Revival sound and a small but profound influence on upcoming Emo Revivalists. Primitive twinkles can be found in the guitar playing while all of the good ol’ Midwest Emo elements are here. Uncommon time signatures and switches can also be heard by the discerning ear.
In addition to the pre-Third Wave releases, this band also came out with several EPs during this time period. Perhaps the best one would be released four years later…

Tamiroff - Bittersweet and Strange (2004)

Surprised to see them here? Faithful followers of this series will note that Tamiroff came out with their Demo in 2004, a Midwest Screamo affair. However, this band’s extremely limited discography is a microcosm of the influence of that particular subgenre as they found themselves coming out with an early Proto-Revival EP! Admittedly, I don’t know which record actually released first, but I’m willing to believe it was their demo.
There's the odd 2000s Post-Hardcore section here and there between the crashes and waves of Math Rock-laden Midwest Emo. This release accentuates the positives of traditional Midwest Emo, previews the future of the genre with twinkly Math Rock influences and showcases the Post-Hardcore tendencies that would lead into Polar Bear Club.

Special Noise - Special Noise (2005)

A noisy and dissonant take on Proto-Revival Emo, Special Noise enters with a guitarist who has actually experimented with his guitar's lower three strings, utilizing cool Mathy riffs without relying on the genre’s ever-present twinkles. The basement aesthetics are strong with this release, but that says nothing of each song’s individual quality. The band would come out with another EP in 2008 before calling it quits.

Everybell and Whistle - Everybody Wrestle (2005)

Recorded at an ill Nate Kinsella's commune warehouse space in Chicago with a makeshift drum kit and a guitar passed through two different amps to act as a bass, this record exemplifies the DIY spirit of Midwest Emo, especially during the early Revival and Proto-Revival period. The production values reflect the DIY recording approach to a tee, but that says nothing of the excellent musical quality found within the record.
Feeding off 90s Midwest Emo as much as Kinsella projects like Joan of Arc, the jangly riffs, volume dynamics and Hardcore kid-clean vocals define this 20+ minute aural jaunt.

Decmebers Architects - ,Apiary Ennui and Curiosas. The Brew Shakes (2005)

Forget ambition, what Nate Kinsella and Co were attempting with this album is nothing short of visionary, even if the towering heights they aimed for weren’t quite reached. Although this album was released in 2005, the LP was the final recording of this late 90s Midwest Emo project from 2001. Naturally, the guitar tones are quite gritty, matching the aesthetic of late Second Wave Emo. However, the experimentation here goes beyond what most Emo bands would call “experimentation,” including instruments like the turntable!
The Math Rock twinkles are there as expected, juxtaposed by harsh guitars, weird noises and interesting song structures. Even though this may not technically be Proto-Revival, it will be appreciated by anyone into that sound.

Saleontomorrow - Demo (2005)

Only three tracks in length, this release further cements the 00s British Emo scene as one of the most underrated. Saleontomorrow’s demo is slightly rough around the edges, but the cool Mathy song structures, impressive lead guitar riffs and careless vocals make for a breezy listen. Make sure you check out their compilation of unfinished songs as well.

Cowboys Aren't Indians - Cowboys Aren't Indians (2005)

Diamonds in the rough from Utah, the horribly named Cowboys Aren't Indians played chill yet active music in the Math Rock vein with Midwest Emo as a guide. The music tends to move by at a brisk pace thanks to the masterful and quirky guitar playing, the muted explosiveness of the drummer and the frankness of the vocalist.
With lofi production values and an emphasis on vocal-less sections of music, there almost seems to be a Post-Rock influence tucked away in there somewhere. After some years of inactivity, the band would release another EP in 2010. It seems the band was just at the wrong place at the wrong time to gain much notoriety.

Polara - Tempestade bipolar (2005)

Tonally, the band is reminiscent of Colossal, which seems to make sense as they were active at the same time, but they were separated by over 5,000 miles (almost 8,500 km) on different hemispheres! This could not have been possible without drawing from the same well of influence in old school Emo.
Polara executes quite differently from Colossal, keeping the riffs simpler and injecting a dose of lighthearted Indie into the concoction. The occasional hint of 90s Post-Hardcore pops up to give the music some weight. These Brazilians definitely did Emo proud with this release.

oh my god elephant - oh my god elephant (2006)

Had oh my god elephant released this EP in 2010 with slightly better production values, you’d be bombarded with this release on every hidden gem of the Emo Revival list out there. Instead, we received this masterful yet subdued Midwest Emo EP in 2006 with almost zero attention given. Although Emo was about as popular as it ever would be in 2006, basement-style Midwest Emo like this was completely out of vogue.
The band impressively fuses the Indie-leaning Emo sound of the late 90s with soft, mathy guitar riffs that keep the otherwise relatively slow music fairly lively. Whiny vocals and somewhat absurdist lyrics may turn off some listeners, but Emo Revival fans will greatly enjoy this effort.

The One Up Downstairs - The One Up Downstairs (2006)

Ok, calling this Proto-Revival would be disingenuous, even though it seemingly fits the bill with a 2006 release date. However, this is a Mike Kinsella project that predates even American Football! Proto-Proto Revival? I don't know, but this is the best place to put this for now.
These three tracks were recorded in 1997 but didn't see the light of day until almost a decade later. Though reminiscent of AF, the songs are slightly more upbeat in comparison, especially Rememories. If you like jazzier Emo or just want to check this intriguing release for its novelty, it's worth at least one spin.

Street Smart Cyclist - Demo 2006! (2006) 💎

SSC's legacy upon Emo history will never be appreciated enough. With only eight songs to their name spread across less than two years of activity, band members would go on to create Snowing and Boy Problems, two extremely influential Revival bands in their own right.
On this first three-song EP, the band shows off their immense musical talents with Hardcore-leaning Midwest Emo mixed with scathing Math Rock sensibilities. Production values are intentionally harsh, adding to the noisiness and musical chaos. The guitar and rhythm instruments are played with equal parts passion and complexity.

Pirouette - Sometimes Sad Isn’t Funny (2006)

Unexpectedly catchy, free-flowing and noodly, Pirouette’s debut EP displays the Proto-Revival sound exactly like you’d expect it. The guitarist, of course, is one of the great highlights of this release, utilizing a proficient mix of fun chord progressions and jangly guitar riffs. Although the vocal performance isn’t the cleanest, the vocal melodies in these songs are excellent and will worm their way into your ears and your heart.
The band was only around between 2006-2008, just in time to miss their signature sound exploding in the scene. They would come out with two more EPs, both excellent in their own right, and an almost-acoustic LP.

Ryerose - Ryerose (2006)

A release filled to the brim with such passion that it could rival Penfold, Ryerose is the brainchild of Craig Woods and, who else, Peter Helmis. Unlike the youthful explosiveness found in much of Helmis’ other work, Woods really seems to ground him with this melancholic, layered guitar approach. Vocals are also handled primarily by Woods, who sings similarly to other bands like Benton Falls or Mineral.
You can hear every ounce of blood, sweat and tears that was put into this project, featuring brilliant twinkles and disparate volume dynamics. This release might just be the best of a surprisingly robust discography from Helmis in 2006.

Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start - Worst Band Name Ever (2007)

The band's final album reflects their playful attitude toward Emo while simultaneously taking Emo music seriously. Utilizing more acoustic guitars than their first LP, the Math Rock influence is a bit more subtle but nonetheless quite present. Keen ears will hear all of the sly musical techniques the band makes use of on this very short 20 minute album.
This band exemplifies the Proto-Revival to a tee: a band with all the talent in the world and forward-thinking (ironically by looking back), only to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. This exact album could have made them them Emo legends in 2010.

Marquette - Waxing / Waning (2007)

After releasing a so-so EP in 2006, true Midwest Emo band Marquette would release this EP a year later and it is as serene as it is rough around the edges. Utilizing decent but definitely DIY production techniques, Waxing / Waning is filled to the brim with some of the coolest guitar playing in this entire wave. Although the vocal performance is more than serviceable, the sheer focus on extended instrumental passages, led by near-virtuosic dual guitar lines, showcases the true star of the show.
The band would fold after this release, but from the ashes, a couple of the ex-bandmates would start the underrated Emo Revival band Penpal. Though similar in style, the Slowcore and American Football influence was far more pronounced.

Avast! - Faultlines (2007)

Avast! was a Scottish Emo band that only existed for a short time in the mid aughts. However, we can hear the infamous British Indie influence on this, no matter how hard they tried to hide it; unlike Dartz!, TTNG and the like, Avast!’s Faultlines harken back to more classic Midwest Emo, even if it’s with a slightly more modern approach. This is the band’s sole release, but I’d recommend it to anyone who is interested in the description.

Look Mexico - This Is Animal Music (2007)

I don't know what kind of Animals they have in Florida, but it sounds remarkably close to some Chicagoland Emos from the mid to late 90s. Look Mexico’s debut album has Kinsella fingerprints all over it, from the twinkly riffs to that very specific late 90s Indie Rock x Midwest Emo timbre. The vocals are of course of a whiny nature, though all is produced and mastered quite well.
Unlike many other Proto-Revival artists on this list, Look Mexico continued releasing music until 2016, the end of the Revival. Unfortunately, they pivoted to a more Indie-leaning sound while eschewing the Emo influence. Had their music remained American Football-inspired, this band could be legendary in the scene.

Meet Me in St. Louis - Variations on Swing (2007)

If I’m being honest, this isn’t actually Emo Proto-Revival. In reality, this is a calculated mix of Post-Hardcore, Math Rock and Midwest Emo with ample Kinsella influences. Look, Proto-Revival wasn’t really a scene, it was just a bunch of disconnected bands taking influence from the same people at the same time, hoping to make awesome music. It just so happened that this led to the Emo Revival, but I think Meet Me in St. Louis exhibits enough Emo sensibilities on this record to make it on this list - much like fellow UK Post-Hardcore band Million Dead.
Ambitious guitar riffs, song structures, tempo shifts and time signature changes are sprawled across the varied musical landscapes found on this LP. The Midwest Emo elements help weave together the more elaborate and lofty techniques and influences here. Even if it doesn’t fit in with this section exactly, it’s more than worth a listen.

Street Smart Cyclist - Lint Traps (2007)

SSC employs a similar songwriting style to their first EP, though these three tracks are all acoustic and feature significantly less percussion. Galm's singing is still as off-kilter as ever, though reduced in aggression. It's unclear if these songs were always intended to be acoustic or if they were previewing a more traditional song to be released later, such as We Lack Science. An offbeat experimental release for sure, it should be heard at least once.

oh my god elephant - Fancy Cookies (2008) 💎

Prior to this album’s release, the band temporarily changed their name to Rainow Tornado, and boy does this album feel like one. From production to songwriting to instrumental virtuosity, this album trumps their 2006 EP in just about every way (save for personal taste) while somehow being significantly more obscure, quite the feat considering how unpopular their s/t EP is. Lengthy instrumental passages litter this record, putting you into a near-meditative state. This peacefulness is juxtaposed with the silliest, most irrational lyrical moments in Emo.
This album could very well be the logical extreme to the American Football sound, given the unremarkable but confessional vocals, spirited Math Rock riffs and overall lackadaisical pace. The band does well to step out from merely being a Kinsella clone, though, and this album is their magnum opus.

Pennines - Demo Feb 08 (2008)

From the UK Emo scene that brought bands like TTNG and saleontomorrow, Pennines is a Mathy Midwest Emo band that isn’t afraid to get playful with their songs. This demo is only two songs but shows the tremendous promise that the band possessed with the Indie guitar riffs, mathy twinkles and signature British Indie singing voice. If you like the Math Pop-influenced Midwest Emo scene of mid-late 00s UK, check these guys out! They have some later-released demos and a split with TTNG.

Good Luck - Into Lake Griffy (2008)

Into Lake Griffy is the expert result of merging hyper-energetic Pop-Punk with Math-infused Indie-leaning Midwest Emo. The first thing you'll notice is the neverending guitar riffage and blistering chord progressions, followed up by some of the catchiest vocals this side of the Third Wave. The drummer and bassist both manage to stand out distinctly in their own right, essentially acting as the backbone for the Midwest Emo volume elements.
At 13 songs and almost 40 minutes of length, this album will breeze by and no two songs will sound too similar. The band would release one more album in 2011, though it was more restrained than this record.

Little Lungs - Hoist Me Up! (2008)

Cute, catchy and mixed with obvious Pop-Punk influence, this fun and breezy EP features infectious female vocals, driving yet straightforward melodies and riffs, and the odd Math Rock element hanging around here and there. What else is there to say? At 12 minutes, this one deserves at least one listen.

Gentlemen - Demo (2008)

Featuring a few members of The Summer We Went West, Gentlemen’s sole release is a demo from 2008. This is Midwest Emo in the classic vein with a few Proto-Revival trappings. With nine songs and a total runtime of less than 20 minutes, this demo is worth a listen. Gentlemen had the potential to be a really cool Emo Revival band, but they stopped just short of the goal line.

It’s an Icicle - L’Chaim (2008)

Emos out of Fresno, whose music scene was on fire during the late 2000s, It’s an Icicle emerged from the burgeoning Mathy Midwest Emo movement, citing Algernon Cadwallader, other Kinsella projects and Math Rock bands like Giraffes? Giraffes! as their primary inspiration. With dingey production, constant riffing and complete formlessness, the band’s debut LP is a sign of the changing times where DIY Emo artists were forming the core sounds of the Emo Revival.
Before becoming a three-piece, the band released a couple of EPs as a duo. Though not quite as good as this album, they’re both super solid Emo releases in their own right.

Street Smart Cyclist - Final Mixes (2008) 💎

The final two songs of the band’s discography are an evolution of the tracks from their demo; the boys supercharge their Midwest Emo / Math Rock hybrid, sounding like hardcore kids playing freestyle Jazz. The riffs are twinklier and more intricate, the song structures are looser. Had the band stuck around, who knows how good their output could have been.
Proto-Revival to the core, they, directly and indirectly, shaped the upcoming Revival while having a unique sound all their own. The best way to hear the band's stuff is to listen to their Discography, released in a neat package in 2014.

Bad Times Ending - Bad Times Ending (2008)

Extraordinarily obscure Proto-Revival, I can only find one record of their existence and it’s the YouTube video from 4010 where you can hear it. Not much to say at only 17 minutes, but you’ll immediately notice the twinkling of the guitar, the sincerity of the vocals and the pretty good grasp on volume dynamics.

Instruments (Make Music) - Instruments (Make Music) (2008)

A band name so unsearchable that I am only 70% sure it even came out in 2008, the burgeoning UK Midwest Emo scene produces more Mathy goodness with this EP. It's a little quirky and littered with instrumental-only sections, but it fits in well with other similar releases from this time and place. If you like cool Math Rock riffs, look no further.
We have now reached our final section of this part and this series. We opened up the very first part by discussing Second Wave Emo artists who were still releasing Second Wave-inspired Emo in the Third Wave. Naturally, I will bookend this entire project by talking about Fourth Wave Emo artists who got their start sometime before 2009. Many of Fourth Wave Emo’s earliest classic albums actually came out in 2008 in particular, a landmark year for the genre. After reviewing everything else in this whole series, these releases are sort of the denouement of Third Wave Emo, showing how the underground / basement / DIY scenes all over the world kept its spirit alive. We’ve finally arrived at the finish line:

The Flames of Fourth Wave Emo Begin With a Spark

Algernon Cadwallader - Demo (2006)

Following up on projects like Halfway to Holland and Ryerose, Peter Helmis and Joe Reinhart reunite for a more traditional take on Midwest Emo. Their first four-song demo was released in 2006, featuring what can only be described as Kinsella worship. It’s been said to death, but Algernon exhibits copious amounts of Cap’n Jazz influence in their music, from the reckless abandon of the vocals and lyrics to the jangly, twinkly riffs. Although the band’s best and most memorable work was yet to come, this EP left the door ajar for the Emo Revival to later bust down.

TTNG - Hippy Jam Fest (2006)

TTNG actually released their first piece of music in 2003, a demo that showcased their mathy preclivities, though harsher than their future releases. Even this, their first proper EP, is a bit more rugged than their more Math-Pop-laden work later on, although the evolution into the band they’d become was well underway. Generous use of volume dynamics, irregular time signature usage, cool riffs and saidboi vibes are all here. The band would go on to be one of the most important UK Emo / Math Rock bands of all time, and we’ll see why later on in this list.

Empire! Empire! (I Was a Loney Estate) - When the Sea Became a Giant (2007)

The first outing for Emo Revival Juggernauts Empire! Empire!, the band’s legacy for crafting biting, poignant Midwest Emo begins with the opening salvo on the first track of this record. The bittersweet magnificence that defines the band’s sound is created with a heartrending guitar tone, emotionally raw vocals, abreactive lyrics and awe-inspiring song builds. While building off the legends of the genre such as Mineral, Empire! injects their own energy into their music, and it’s readily apparent even with their first EP.
The band would become legends in the genre with a cavalcade of releases, many of which being splits with fellow legends and hidden gems of the genre. Does this EP touch What It Takes to Move Forward? I mean, can anything? That said, the building blocks were there from the start.

By Surprise - Four on Seven in Eight (2007)

Despite leaving their indelible mark on the Emo Revival with a 2009 LP split with Hightide Hotel, the band is still a nightmare to Google. As such, this Indie-laden Midwest Emo release has very little information. There seems to be conflicting reports on this release date, but I personally believe the 2007 date.
With raw production, reckless yet catchy vocals, refreshing chord progressions and at less than 10 minutes, this is an easy listen to future underrated Revivalists.

Weatherbox - American Art (2007) 💎

After releasing two proof-of-concept EPs, Weatherbox's debut LP was released in 2007. Whether you consider this band Proto-Revival, Emo Revival or something else, it doesn't really matter. Warren's tortured voice, his world-weary lyrics and the deceptive complexity of the music provide for one Hell of a release from these San Diego natives.
At 50 minutes, this album is actually quite an easy listen. The variety of songs on offer, as well as the general flow of the record, transports the listener into the world of American Art seamlessly. Weatherbox would continue releasing music until 2014, right at the height of the Revival. Fortunately, they just released a new single this year!

Annabel - Now That We’re Alive (2007)

Humble beginnings for under-the-radar Emo Revival outfit Annabel, their demo EP Now That We’re Alive showed all the promise that this band possessed, even in their early days. A nice little variety of sounds punctuate this ultimately laid back and inoffensive release. I’d recommend giving their discography a shot if you enjoy this demo.

A Great Big Pile of Leaves - The Fiery Works (2007)

Slidey, bendy, mathy and just plain fun, A Great Big Pile of Leaves’ debut EP showcases all of the band’s strengths in a neat sub-20-minute package. AGBPOL managed to craft a slice of Emo all their own with their defining guitar techniques, catchy vocal melodies and syncopated rhythms. While somewhat poppy at times, they seem to be capitalizing more on Math-Pop than Emo-Pop.
The band would go on to release another EP before the Third Wave was up - and are still around to this day!

Everyone Everywhere - Pants (2007)

The debut EP from Philly-natives in Everyone Everywhere, the band’s signature approach to writing music is on full display with an airy combination Emo, Indie Rock, Post-Rock and Math Rock. The band would go on to release two criminally-underrated Emo Revival albums in the early 2010s, expanding off of this already-impressive debut.

Brave Little Abacus - Demo? (2008)

Monumental doesn’t even begin to cover what Brave Little Abacus’ contribution to the Emo scene truly means. Solidly an Emo Revival band, Brave Little Abacus’ ultra-experimental guide to creating Emo music is still influencing artists today, being the basis for much of the Fifth Wave. Chiptunes, strange samples, weird noises, all of this is mixed in with unfiltered vocal hysteria. Literally, I cannot describe to you what this sounds like, you have to hear it for yourself.
This debut EP is somehow more unhinged and more straightforward than their future work, both at the same time. Don’t know what I mean? Give this legendary band a spin to see for yourself.

Transit - This Will Not Define Us (2008)

Stalwarts of the Soft Grunge movement during Emo’s Fourth Wave, Transit began their career with a strong Emo / Pop-Punk hybrid. Although some variation of those genres would be a part of their primary playstyle for the duration of their run, nothing would quite sound like this record. Quick lead melodies and straightforward rhythms drive the record forward.

TTNG - This Town Needs Guns (2008) 🎩

TTNG, then known as This Town Needs Guns, released a self-titled compilation album in early 2008 with songs from their full-length split with Cats and Cats and Cats and other unreleased tracks. With just eight songs and without a designed sense of flow, this somehow manages to be the best TTNG record ever. This album includes a wonderful variety, from acoustic tracks to Math Pop jaunts to heavier Emo sections.
If you are a fan of Math Rock’s association with Midwest Emo, this album might just be the pinnacle of that sound. The twinkly riffs are impossibly clean and the subtly mathy song structures add sophistication and technicality to the project. This stands as possibly the best and most important British Emo releases of all time.

A Great Big Pile of Leaves - The Fiery Works II (2008)

While not utilizing quite as many guitar tricks as the band's debut EP, there is an admirable variety of songs on this short record. In particular, they embrace their inner Math-Pop band a ton. It's personal preference whether you prefer part 1 or part 2, but they both tickle that same spot in your brain that says, “Neat!”
Despite these respectable Emo releases, the band's best work was yet to come. Their sound was an injection of carelessness and vitality to the Emo Revival.

Algernon Cadwallader - Some Kind of Cadwallader (2008) 🎩

Some will say that the Emo Revival officially began with the release of this album, and I have no basis on which to argue. However, for the purposes of this series, I’m including everything from the year 2008, so here it comes at the tail end of Third Wave Emo! What more can I say about this record that hasn’t been recounted tirelessly by other Emo fans? Many will point to popular songs like Casual Discussion in a Dome or the title track being clones of the Cap’n Jazz sound, but if you listen to the entire album, you actually get an exceptionally solid and wonderfully varied work of art.
Algernon’s whimsical take on Emo consists of playful vocals, neverending guitar jangles, daring song structures and the perfect album flow. Surprising elements of Post-Rock can be found on this record, especially with a near-14 minute closing track. The music speaks directly to the yearning one feels deep inside for life to be simpler again.

La Dispute - Here, Hear (2008)

Following up on a forgotten debut EP that was entirely entrenched in a raw Post-Hardcore sound, La Dispute would pivot directions by the time their debut LP was released. Before that, the first of their Here, Hear EPs dropped, stripping away the frantic aggression and going into near-acoustic mode.
The vocals are exclusively even-keeled poetic spoken word while the rest of the band seemed content to create subdued mood music to accompany the artistic stories.

Balance and Composure - I Just Want to Be Pure (2008)

Before becoming a Soft Grunge powerhouse during Emo’s Fourth Wave, Balance & Composure (with an ampersand) released a demo EP, fusing the predominant sounds of the Second Wave ala Braid or Mineral and the Third Wave ala Taking Back Sunday and Brand New. The results are quite a fresh mix that shows how influential all Emo music has been over the years, even the dreaded 2000s era. This EP predates the band’s use of Post-Hardcore and occasional hint of Shoegaze, so it is somewhat simpler and more straightforward.

Hightide Hotel - Porch Luck (2008)

Like several other prominent Emo Revival bands, Hightide Hotel put out a small proof of concept EP, including one song that would later be used for their debut LP. What the band lacked in tightness they made up for in pure desire to create Basement Emo and all that it entails. Although not the band’s best release, it’s a solid roadmap to their early, unpolished sound while providing a true classic in the s/t track.

Tigers Jaw - Tigers Jaw (2008) 🎩

Progenitors to the Soft-Grunge movement that includes bands like Joyce Manor, Basement and Modern Baseball, Tigers Jaw's s/t is a masterful exploration of the intersection between Emo, Pop-Punk and Indie Rock. Their first album actually released in 2006, but was more of a subdued Indie and Slacker Rock record. Nonetheless, the band rerecorded a few of the tracks on that album to fit more closely with their new sound.
The vocals are often double-tracked or have tons of harmony, giving the otherwise chill and unassuming vocal melodies some richness and depth. And trust me, these words will get stuck in your head. There’s just a sincerity to the music, lying somewhere within the rhythm-oriented chord progressions and simple lead guitar melodies. This remains the band’s finest accomplishment.

TTNG - Animals (2008)

Extracting everything they could from both Midwest Emo and Math Rock, Animals is an ambitious concept album that pushes these genre classifications to the limit. Each song represents a different animal, so each song has a different flow and timbre. They capture the playfulness of a rabbit, the majesty of an Elk and the quiet nature of a Zebra, among others.
If this album had any sense of flow, it would be one of the top releases in this project. Regardless, this is a milestone Math Rock record and an integral part of the early Emo Revival.

Arrows - Modern Art & Politics (2008)

Criminally underrated Emos from Australia, Arrows debut album is perhaps their best work, seamlessly blending Midwest Emo with hints of Post-Rock, though done with a more modern Emo framework in mind. This album sounds like a slightly restrained Empire! Empire! release, perhaps only stopping short in terms of grandiosity. However, at 55 minutes and with calculated switches in volume dynamics, Arrows does a more than admirable job in that department.
The band would continue releasing albums until 2012, whereupon they’d appropriately been signed to Count Your Lucky Stars. However, after a promising split with Empire!, the band would cease to exist.

La Dispute - Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair (2008) 🎩

La Dispute's status as an Emo band is hotly disputed, but it doesn’t really matter to me either way. This band utilizes dynamic volume changes, has passionate vocals with cathartic lyrics and is tied to the Hardcore scene. And even though this album is equally indebted to Post-Hardcore, this album came out at the right time to help push Emo back to the glory days.
Spoken words and shouting are the methods Dreyer uses to punch the listener with raw emotion, heavily reinforced by the technical and varied instrumental accompaniment. Forget Emo - this is a must-hear album for anyone into heavier music.

La Dispute - Here, Hear II (2008)

Releasing the very same day as their acclaimed debut LP, the second volume in this EP series ups the ante from the first. The stories on offer are strong and are told in dramatic prose fashion and the tracks are quite memorable, thanks to the more varied instrumental approach. From Jazz to Post-Rock, this band's influences seem infinite.
A year later, they’d release the final Here, Hear in the miniseries. Fifteen years after that, they finally released another Here, Hear EP. They’re all excellent. Please check them out.

Glocca Morra - Museum Mouth (2008)

Legendary Twinkledaddies Glocca Morra formed in 2008 and managed to come out with a demo EP of sorts before the year had ended! Fortunately for us, this means more awesome Emo music to cover! Now, what’s a Twinkledaddy? Simple, really! Bands like Algernon and TTNG definitely fit, along with Revival bands like Snowing and The World Is a Beautiful Place, the latter of which coined the term jokingly.
With contemporaries like that, how could this not be awesome? Well it is, even if it’s only three proper songs and an acoustic song. Nonetheless, the band’s seemingly endless potential is showcased as soon as the first track. Despite the twinkling, this EP is a bit rough around the edges, giving it a tad of Punk cred (along with the singer’s gnarly voice).

Shapes Like Dinosaurs - Jurassic Geometry (2008)

Somewhat obscure Emo Revivalists Shapes Like Dinosaurs gave the burgeoning Emo Revival movement an early Christmas present with their debut LP, effortlessly encapsulating that Midwest Emo / Math Rock fusion that was about to blow up in the underground music scene. Despite hyperactive guitar and basslines, the tempo is quite passive, aided by the low-volume drum recording and simple vocal delivery. If you like some of the Proto-Revival releases on this list, you’ll probably really enjoy this one.

CSTVT - I Know What a Lion Is (2008)

Before releasing their landmark 2009 LP Summer Fences, three of the four first tracks on the album were previewed in this promotional demo. Castavet, later known as CSTVT, utilized Post-Rock extensively, shaping soundscapes and pulling great emotion from the listener. Midwest Emo is the meat and Post-Rock is the potato, the two genres complement each other perfectly. Although these tracks are amazing, they are only a sample of what was to come.
And there you have it folks! That’s all I’m ever going to write about this damn series again!

SIKE! IT'S BONUS TIME!

Okay, I lied. I wanted to include a list of bonus Emo releases that I either missed or forgot to include for one reason or the other. However, I ran out of space! Please wait for a very special bonus edition later this week!
