I have an older account but I lost it, then found it again too late for it to matter. Now it's just there for random nostalgic equipment. I'm also currently working towards a level 200 Angelic Buster, specifically so I don't have to keep pushing the cringe down the line until later.
Adele
I have no idea what's going on and it's beautiful. Adele is such a map hog, it's not even worth trying to have a party. There will be swords everywhere, all the time, just sort of poking around. 5th job skills are screen clears as well. I have literally no idea, at any given point, what my strategy is, and once the swords are out, I don't have to think about it much at all. There is a "bring the swords to me" button that stabs everything nearby and a "make 'em spin" button that stabs more things harder, but honestly... it's just fun.
10/10, do not play with friends.
Paladin
This is a half-attention sort of class. Go make yourself a glass of tea in the middle of mobs, come back, you've lost 2% of your HP, run to McDonalds, grab some fries... ooh, do they have any seasonal milkshakes? Better ask about those. How about a toy?
Come back, you've lost 15% of your HP. Put the kid to sleep, do some work. Come back, 30%. Now it's time to get serious. Do an attack. You've done 2% of the enemy's HP. Drink a potion, put on a documentary, and relax.
I had to re log into my paladin to remember what the attacks were this class was so chill. Big yellow hammers. That's what they are.
3/10, but you definitely will not die.
Dawn Warrior
I didn't feel the joy with this one. You change stances between slashy slash and pew pew, and that's the majority of the gameplay. Decent damage, but my heart wasn't in the slashy slash. You may be different.
5/10, perfect on paper but I didn't feel that special feeling... the desire to murder.
Kinesis
Rune of skill means you can screen nuke for the entire time with giant trains. I liked throwing crap across the screen, and the weird mana bar is (in my opinion) more fun than MP since you don't just solve it with money and potions.
Friendstory does not make sense with this character, so of course he's the one I did Friendstory with. One of two characters (along with Milhe) that should have different dialogue but doesn't. Fantastic.
9/10. I like throwing things.
Ark
Go hulk mode. Climb up a ladder. Wait for meter to charge. Repeat.
When it's good, it's so good. When it's bad, it's real bad.
2/10. I remember leveling this class, but not in a positive way. Non-corrupted Ark is not very fun.
Aran
I like the button commands, but this is such a carpal tunnel class, nobody will ever get a level 300 Aran. It's not worth the joint pain. Also they nerfed the dash. It used to jet off at crazy speeds when done on a ledge, now it's a little normal speed hop and I am tremendously disappointed.
6/10, functionally worse than a dawn warrior, but I honestly enjoyed the Street Fighter inputs and combo system more.
Shade
Do you like Paladin? Do you want a Paladin that dies even slower, but does less damage?
I made it through an entire semester of college before my Shade died. Got a wife, moved to a new city, came back to the PC, he was at 40%. This is, of course, before the free resurrect that he gets which makes him live even longer.
3/10, but the story is more interesting than paladin.
Beast Tamer
Transformed into a Lynn after reaching 200, but I leveled this one up as a beast tamer.
Had to choose if I had friends or not. Like... optimally, you would choose cat and bear, but I didn't have friends to take advantage of the cat form who like this game, so I picked bear and bird, the true N64 fan experience.
Lyn dropped the cat completely and kept the other stuff, but I am sad that we lost the bird mode where you just sorta float there while baby birds dive bomb and deal with enemies. The most AFK experience of all AFK experiences, with bear around for big bosses. Lyn is way more active than Chase was.
7/10, I had fun. RIP to a great one, but Lyn seems good too.
Corsair
Unexpectedly a summoner class, though I maxed it out before the update where they changed the summons to be pretty anime characters instead of grungy pirates, and changed the double jump from a squid pushing you along to a serious magic dash. I miss the days of the goofy corsair, but at least we still have cannoneer.
I liked the gambling elements. You sorta get what you get, buffs wise, and that's fun. Not strategic, but fun.
8/10 if you enjoy that sort of thing.
Lara
Fragile as heck but you don't actually fight the enemies. You instead find little nodes on the ground to activate and nuke people. Very fun. I also like Lara's sheep horns, and thought she was one of the more memorable characters, story-wise, since she was such a cheerful and friendly character. I ship her and Khali- not romantically, just like... Khali needs a sister figure and Lara needs someone to stop people from taking her stuff.
10/10, I had as much fun with her as I did with Adele.
Mercedes
Needs an update. Her combo system isn't as effective as I'd hoped, and I found it easier to just jump up and do the attack where you spray underneath you. I more maxed her out for the link skill and probably won't come back.
1/10, I didn't do this for joy.
Angelic buster is next, and so far, she's... really good. Massive invincibility attack that does a ton of damage, projectiles that poot out of her attacks and bounce around for a while, a very strong 0 cost shield skill, and some pretty nice screen nukes, but I do not love her whole aesthetic, and wish her voice lines were as reluctant as her text lines were, with like the deep inner voice and high cutesy character voice vying for dominance.

Bold lines in the tables are new since the previous update.

Solid lines on charts are generated from data provided either by the Washington State Department of Health (WADoH Ref. (1) ), WastewaterSCAN (Verily/WWS (Ref. (3) ), or Biobot (Ref. (4) ).
White diamond dots are from most recent CDC/NWSS (Ref. (2) ) data scaled to supplement missing or out-dated data when available.
Because each of these four agencies use different normalization methods, different smoothing methods, and different averaging/location identifiers, the concentration of virus is not comparable between locations. See reference links at the bottom of this post for more details.
There are 33 sewersheds distributed across 6 charts initially grouped by geographic region then alphabetized by county and sewershed. The data shown is a compilation from WADoH (1), NWSS (2), WWS (3), and Biobot (4). Tables include sewershed ID, Reference ID, Date last sampled, Trend (based on the change between the averages of the two most recent weeks), and 7-Day Change (approx. amount which the trend has increased or decreased).
All data presented are smoothed in some degree to even out inconsistent sampling dates and extreme highs and lows. Most sewersheds are sampled 1-3 times a week and are published within a week. Some locations are "late" reporting by 10 days or more so be sure to note your sewershed's "Date" in the table or graph. Locations that are more than two weeks old will have "n/a" listed under Trend to indicate there it is out of date.

Idk kung saang subreddit ko dapat to itanong pero manghihingi po ako ng advice about sa making spelling ng pangalan ng nanay ko sa birth certificate naming magkapatid.
Context: during our early years, okay naman ang mga paperless namin. Match naman lahat. May nabago lang sa spelling ng name ni nanay kasi may mali pala sa documents nya noong bata pa sya na na-clarify lang nung umuwi from abroad si lola. May isang maling letter pala sa name nya at late ng 1 year yung birth year nya.
Inayos naman ni nanay before sya mag-abroad din. Iniba nya sa mga papeles and ID yung name nya (from LIN to LYN).
Ngayon, nag pa-issue kami ng PSA birth cert from NSO birth cert. And sa record namin, ang pangalan ni nanay ay LIN pa rin.
Itatanong ko lang po sana, maipapaayos ko po ba ito sa PSA? Sa provincial office ng PSA ko po ba ito aayusin? Or kailangan ko pa po ba mag ayos ng letter from a lawyer na nagpapatunay na si LIN at LYN ay iisang tao lang bago ako mag ayos sa PSA?
Thank you po. If hindi ito yung tamang subreddit, can you refer me po sa ibang subreddit naappropriate yung ganitong queries. TYIA.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCAT) (“Red Cat”), a drone technology company integrating robotic hardware and software for military, government, and commercial operations, today announced the formation of the Red Cat Futures Initiative (RFI). RFI is an independent, industry-wide consortium of robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) partners dedicated to putting the most advanced and interoperable uncrewed aircraft systems into the hands of warfighters.
Anchored by Red Cat’s Teal Drones, the RFI unites the world’s most innovative UAS hardware and software companies focused on AI/ML, swarming, FPV, command and control, and payloads. Founding members include Ocean Power Technologies (NYSE: OPTT), Sentien Robotics , Primordial Labs , Athena AI , Unusual Machines , Reach Power , and MMS Products . The shared goal is advocacy, integrations and co-marketing that bridges considerable technology gaps through modular open architecture.
“One of many Teal Drone advantages is the modular design that allows for effortless swapping of propulsion, payload and other hardware based on the specific needs of warfighters,” said Jason Gunter, Red Cat Director of Special Programs. “Additionally, with Teal as a hub, we’ve already built a robust ecosystem of partners that specialize in AI and computer vision applications, 3D mapping, target acquisition, swarming, and other sUAS decision support features. The RFI formalizes this but is also a launchpad for co-marketing, tech collaboration, and grassroots advocacy.”
Red Cat developed this initiative to support the Pentagon’s desire to accelerate innovation for its Replicator initiative and the need for “attritable” autonomous systems across air, land, and sea. This includes the U.S. Army’s Short-Range Reconnaissance (SRR) Program. The consortium will collaborate to ensure requirements-based UAS production that meets the needs of specific missions, as well as reduce vendor lock-in and promote interoperability. The RFI will also focus on R&D and government advocacy that accelerates technology maturation.
“The need for the UAS sector to move quickly to meet the requirements of Replicator is more urgent than ever,” said Jeff Thompson, Red Cat CEO. “The needs of warfighters have shifted dramatically over the past several years, and the key to bridge technology gaps and accelerate maturation is co-innovation amongst hardware and software companies that span the entire value chain. The RFI will spearhead this mission and be a central place to showcase new capabilities and industry voices.”
Red Cat subsidiary Teal Drones builds its Teal 2 system, designed to support U.S. and allied military operations, public safety organizations, and government agencies, at its Utah facility. Teal 2 is a cost-effective, man-portable sUAS designed to “ Dominate the Night™ ” that has best-in-class night vision, multi-vehicle control support, and a fully modular design. It is both Blue UAS Certified and FAA Remote ID approved. Through technology partnerships, the RFI will exponentially expand the use cases for Teal Drones into multi domain (air, land, and sea) operations.
As a member-based consortium, RFI welcomes broad industry participation by companies of all sizes. Membership benefits include formal marketing support, dual reseller agreements, event and conference collaboration, letters of support for government lobbying, and inclusion in a technology “menu” for visibility and RFQs on the Teal website. For more information, or if you would like to get involved with the RFI, visit: https://redcat.red/solutions/futures-initiative/ .
About Red Cat, Inc. Red Cat (Nasdaq: RCAT) is a drone technology company integrating robotic hardware and software for military, government, and commercial operations. Red Cat’s solutions are designed to “ Dominate the Night™ ” and include the Teal 2, a small unmanned system offering the highest-resolution thermal imaging in its class.

[English is not my native language]
When a Order 66 survivor is revealed, it doesn't take long for him to die, but there are exceptions of Jedi who don't have a confirmed death so far, so I decided to make a list focused only on that, after all there are already plenty lists out there focused about all the survivors of Order 66, so again, i won't put Obi-Wan, Yoda, Kanan or other Jedi who survived but died at some point. I might be missing someone here, I'm not sure, but here we go...

Number	Name	First Appareance	Rank	Last Known Whereabouts	Additional Comments
1	Ahsoka Tano	The Clone Wars	Padawan	C. 9 ABY	The most famous survivor. Refused Knight promotion and left the Order. Heard by Rey in 35 ABY, but never had a confirmed death. Ahsoka series probably isn't set in 9 ABY, but who knows.
2	Din Grogu	The Mandalorian	Youngling	C. 9 ABY	Other very famous survivor. Mandalorian Season 3 probably isn't set in 9 ABY, but there is no confirmation. Definitely will be the last living being who was a member in the old Order. Gave up any affiliation with the Jedi to become a Mandalorian.
3	Reva Sevander (Third Sister)	Obi-Wan Kenobi	Youngling	9 BBY	Joined and eventually left the Inquisitors.
4	Baylan Skoll	Ahsoka	Knight	C. 9 ABY	Survived Order 66 and became a mercenary. Ahsoka series probably isn't set in 9 ABY. Last seen looking for a power involving The Ones.
5	Quinlan Vos	The Clone Wars (The Phantom Menace Backgroung Character)	Master	9 BBY	Confirmed to have survived Order 66 in 2017 Vader Comics. Obi-Wan learned that by 9 BBY he became involved in The Hidden Path. Tala Durith would likely confirmed if he had died, so we can say he is alive by the time of Obi-Wan. First appeared as a background chraracter of The Phantom Menace.
6	Oppo Rancicis	The Phantom Menace	Master	14 BBY	Confirmed to have survived in 2017 Darth Vader Comics. In 14 BBY he was on a list of known Jedi survivors compiled by the Inquisitors. The only prequel era High Council member who don't have a confirmed death.
7	Cal Kestis	Jedi: Fallen Order	Knight	9 BBY	(I never played the games) Promoted to Jedi Knight in the Imperial Era.
8	Gungi	The Clone Wars	Padawan	C. 18 BBY	The Bad Batch confirmed that he is alive by circa 18 BBY. Returned to his people.
9	Kira Vantala	Dark Legends	N/A	Between 19 BBY and 4 BBY	According to a legend she fought the Grand Inquisitor to save Force-sensitive kids from being kidnapped. She may not even exist, and i doubt we ever know what became of her.
10	Uvell	Short Story	Master	Between 19 BBY and 5 ABY (10 BBY accordingly to the writer)	Confirmed to have survived Order 66, but the writer said he do not know how long he may have lasted. His short story was written in 2014, so i doubt we ever hear from him again.
11	Ka-Moon Kholi	Darth Vader 2017 Comic Series (Inquisitor's Hologram)	N/A	14 BBY	In 14 BBY they were on a list of known Jedi survivors compiled by the Inquisitors.
12	Selrahc Eluos	Darth Vader 2017 Comic Series (Inquisitor's Hologram)	N/A	14 BBY	In 14 BBY they were on a list of known Jedi survivors compiled by the Inquisitors.
13	Mill Alibeth	Brotherhood	Youngling	34 ABY or 35 ABY	Hyperspace Stories 4 confirmed her to have survived the Purge and became a bounty hunter along Vivert Stag by the time of the sequels (But the writers believe that's just a cover to help innocent people)
14	Vivert Stag	Brotherhood	Youngling	34 ABY or 35 ABY	Hyperspace Stories 4 confirmed her to have survived the Purge and became a bounty hunter along Mill Alibeth by the time of the sequels (But the writers believe that's just a cover to help innocent people)
15	Vanzell Mar-Klar	Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple	Master	??????	Introduced in a Disney Guest Experience. Possibly dubious canon. Nedriss Narr's Jedi Master.
16	Nedriss Narr	Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple	Padawan	??????	Introduced in a Disney Guest Experience. Possibly dubious canon. Vanzell Mar-Klar's Padawan.
17	Tensu Run	Inquisitors Comic Miniseries	N/A	Between 19 BBY and 9 BBY (If the cover with the Ninth Sister is to be trusted)	The most recent confirmed survivor is set to appear in July Comic Miniseries "Inquisitors", i doubt he will survive, but let's see.
There are others survivors who are last seen in a state of danger, near death, or we don't have any clues of their whereabouts, i.e....
18	Taron Malicos	Jedi: Fallen Order	Master	14 BBY	Fell to the Dark Side and was buried alive by Merrin. He is probably dead, but in this franchise, who knows.
19	Third Brother	Star Wars Encyclopedia	N/A	??????	Some people say he was retconned because of the Third Sister, but he was described along with her in "Darth Maul and Other Followers of the Dark Side", so i don't think that's true. Wookieepedia doesn't list him as a Order 66 survivors, but if all the Inquisitors were former Jedi, i believe this is a acceptable conjecture. His fate and actions are unknown. It is not impossible he was Marrok, so that would take him of the list.
20	Lyn Rakish (Fourth Sister)	Obi-Wan Kenobi	N/A	Between 9 BBY and 1 BBY (Wookieepedia list Episode 6 of Tales of the Empire bewteen 9 and 0 BBY, but I doubt this happened concurrently to A New Hope, so we can cross off 0 BBY)	Last seen regretting her current path and trying to help a wounded Barriss Offee. Lina Graf came into possetion of her armor by C. 1 BBY. We really need a Timeline of Tales, but i like to think that the Mission to Malachor was the last time Inquisitors went into action, so i would bet "The Way Out" happen between 8 BBY and 3 BBY. I think she was a either a Padawan or a Knight.
21	Barriss Offee (Unkown Sister)	Attack of the Clones	Knight	Between 9 BBY and 1 BBY (Same deal with the Fourth Sister)	Tales of the Empire confirmed she survived. Last seen injured by the Fourth Sister, she may not last long. Betrayed both the Jedi and the Inquisitors.
22	Rodian Youngling	Jedi: Fallen Order	Youngling	19 BBY	They were with Trilla, who was eventually captured by the Empire. Maybe was captured, maybe was killed, maybe became the Third Brother, maybe was eaten by Palpatine, i don't known.
23	Kelleran Beq	Jedi Temple Challenge	Master	19 BBY	The Mandalorian Season 3 confirmed his survival (And that he was not a dubious canon character, so there is hope for Vanzell and Nedriss). With Grogu eventually captured by Imperial Remnant, i don't think he survived until the New Republic Era.
24	Unidentified Human Jedi	Tales of the Empire	N/A	C. 19 BBY	Probably a Padawan or a Knight. We are not sure if Barriss managed to save them. "Realization" probably is set in 19 BBY.
Additional Bonus
25	Asajj Ventress	The Clone Wars (In Canon)	Padawan	C. 18 BBY	I'm not sure if i should count her, but i will put it as a extra. Left Jedi Order and became a Sith Assassin. The Bad Batch confirmed that somehow Ventress returned after her apparent demise in Dark Disciple. My headcanon is that Season 3 takes place in 17 BBY.

Master: 6 (5 not counting Taron Malicos who is the most likely to be dead)
Knight: 3 (2 not counting Cal Kestis who was knighted post Order 66)
Padawan: 3 (4 counting Asajj Ventress)
Youngling: 5 (4 not counting Rodian Youngling who probably isn't around anymore)
N/A: 7
I would say 11 of them we will never know what happened (Maybe 12, but i want to believe they will show Oppo Rancicis again) with Gungi being the most important of them (I don't believe we will be seeing him again, sadly) but we will probably be seeing the fates of Reva, Kelleran, Quinlan and other like them someday, and we will obviously see Ahsoka, Grogu and Cal Kestis on the future.
Curiosity: There are between 60 and 65 canon confirmed survivors, so if the estimative of 100 canon survivors is right, there are still plenty of ground that comics, books and shows can cover.

Hello,
We will be in Lyn, Ontario for a while and, it being a small town, I was wondering what the tolerance level is for the LGBTQ+ community and if there is even a community out there?
I know that sometimes, but not always, small towns can be close minded and not accepting of anyone who may be different so I don't want to jump to any conclusions and get my guard up right away.
Thank you.

When a Order 66 survivor is revealed, it doesn't take long for him to die, but there are exceptions of Jedi who don't have a confirmed death so far, o I decided to make a list only on that, after all there are already plenty lists out there focused about all the survivors of Order 66, so again, i won't put Obi-Wan, Yoda, Kanan or other Jedi who survived but died at some point. I might be missing someone here, I'm not sure, but here we go...

Number	Name	First Appareance	Rank	Last Known Whereabouts	Additional Comments
1	Ahsoka Tano	The Clone Wars	Padawan	C. 9 ABY	The most famous survivor. Refused Knight promotion and left the Order. Heard by Rey in 35 ABY, but never had a confirmed death. Ahsoka series probably isn't set in 9 ABY, but who knows.
2	Din Grogu	The Mandalorian	Youngling	C. 9 ABY	Other very famous survivor. Mandalorian Season 3 probably isn't set in 9 ABY, but there is no confirmation. Definitely will be the last living being who was a member in the old Order. Gave up any affiliation with the Jedi to become a Mandalorian.
3	Reva Sevander (Third Sister)	Obi-Wan Kenobi	Youngling	9 BBY	Joined and eventually left the Inquisitors.
4	Baylan Skoll	Ahsoka	Knight	C. 9 ABY	Survived Order 66 and became a mercenary. Ahsoka series probably isn't set in 9 ABY. Last seen looking for a power involving The Ones.
5	Quinlan Vos	The Clone Wars (The Phantom Menace Backgroung Character)	Master	9 BBY	Confirmed to have survived Order 66 in 2017 Vader Comics. Obi-Wan learned that by 9 BBY he became involved in The Hidden Path. Tala Durith would likely confirmed if he had died, so we can say he is alive by the time of Obi-Wan. First appeared as a background chraracter of The Phantom Menace.
6	Oppo Rancicis	The Phantom Menace	Master	14 BBY	Confirmed to have survived in 2017 Darth Vader Comics. In 14 BBY he was on a list of known Jedi survivors compiled by the Inquisitors. The only prequel era High Council member who don't have a confirmed death.
7	Cal Kestis	Jedi: Fallen Order	Knight	9 BBY	(I never played the games) Promoted to Jedi Knight in the Imperial Era.
8	Gungi	The Clone Wars	Padawan	C. 18 BBY	The Bad Batch confirmed that he is alive by circa 18 BBY. Returned to his people.
9	Kira Vantala	Dark Legends	N/A	Between 19 BBY and 4 BBY	According to a legend she fought the Grand Inquisitor to save Force-sensitive kids from being kidnapped. She may not even exist, and i doubt we ever know what became of her.
10	Uvell	Short Story	Master	Between 19 BBY and 5 ABY (10 BBY accordingly to the writer)	Confirmed to have survived Order 66, but the writer said he do not know how long he may have lasted. His short story was written in 2014, so i doubt we ever hear from him again.
11	Ka-Moon Kholi	Darth Vader 2017 Comic Series (Inquisitor's Hologram)	N/A	14 BBY	In 14 BBY they were on a list of known Jedi survivors compiled by the Inquisitors.
12	Selrahc Eluos	Darth Vader 2017 Comic Series (Inquisitor's Hologram)	N/A	14 BBY	In 14 BBY they were on a list of known Jedi survivors compiled by the Inquisitors.
13	Mill Alibeth	Brotherhood	Youngling	34 ABY or 35 ABY	Hyperspace Stories 4 confirmed her to have survived the Purge and became a bounty hunter along Vivert Stag by the time of the sequels (But the writers believe that's just a cover to help innocent people)
14	Vivert Stag	Brotherhood	Youngling	34 ABY or 35 ABY	Hyperspace Stories 4 confirmed her to have survived the Purge and became a bounty hunter along Mill Alibeth by the time of the sequels (But the writers believe that's just a cover to help innocent people)
15	Vanzell Mar-Klar	Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple	Master	??????	Introduced in a Disney Guest Experience. Possibly dubious canon. Nedriss Narr's Jedi Master.
16	Nedriss Narr	Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple	Padawan	??????	Introduced in a Disney Guest Experience. Possibly dubious canon. Vanzell Mar-Klar's Padawan.
17	Tensu Run	Inquisitors Comic Miniseries	N/A	Between 19 BBY and 9 BBY (If the cover with the Ninth Sister is to be trusted)	The most recent confirmed survivor is set to appear in July Comic Miniseries "Inquisitors", i doubt he will survive, but let's see.
There are others survivors who are last seen in a state of danger, near death, or we don't have any clues of their whereabouts, i.e....
18	Taron Malicos	Jedi: Fallen Order	Master	14 BBY	Fell to the Dark Side and was buried alive by Merrin. He is probably dead, but in this franchise, who knows.
19	Third Brother	Star Wars Encyclopedia	N/A	??????	Some people say he was retconned because of the Third Sister, but he was described along with her in "Darth Maul and Other Followers of the Dark Side", so i don't think that's true. Wookieepedia doesn't list him as a Order 66 survivor, but if all the Inquisitors were former Jedi, i believe this is a acceptable conjecture. His fate and actions are unknown. It is not impossible he was Marrok, so that would take him of the list.
20	Lyn Rakish (Fourth Sister)	Obi-Wan Kenobi	N/A	Between 9 BBY and 1 BBY (Wookieepedia list Episode 6 of Tales of the Empire bewteen 9 and 0 BBY, but I doubt this happened concurrently to A New Hope, so we can cross off 0 BBY)	Last seen regretting her current path and trying to help a wounded Barriss Offee. Lina Graf came into possetion of her armor by C. 1 BBY. We really need a Timeline of Tales, but i like to think that the Mission to Malachor was the last time Inquisitors went into action, so i would bet "The Way Out" happen between 8 BBY and 3 BBY. I think she was a either a Padawan or a Knight.
21	Barriss Offee (Unkown Sister)	Attack of the Clones	Knight	Between 9 BBY and 1 BBY (Same deal with the Fourth Sister)	Tales of the Empire confirmed she survived. Last seen injured by the Fourth Sister, she may not last long. Betrayed both the Jedi and the Inquisitors.
22	Rodian Youngling	Jedi: Fallen Order	Youngling	19 BBY	They were with Trilla, who was eventually captured by the Empire. Maybe was captured, maybe was killed, maybe became the Third Brother, maybe was eaten by Palpatine, i don't known.
23	Kelleran Beq	Jedi Temple Challenge	Master	19 BBY	The Mandalorian Season 3 confirmed his survival (And that he was not a dubious canon character, so there is hope for Vanzell and Nedriss). With Grogu eventually captured by Imperial Remnant, i don't think he survived until the New Republic Era.
24	Unidentified Human Jedi	Tales of the Empire	N/A	C. 19 BBY	Probably a Padawan or a Knight. We are not sure if Barriss managed to save them. "Realization" probably is set in 19 BBY.
Additional Bonus
25	Asajj Ventress	The Clone Wars (In Canon)	Padawan	C. 18 BBY	I'm not sure if i should count her, but i will put it as a extra. Left Jedi Order and became a Sith Assassin. The Bad Batch confirmed that somehow Ventress returned after her apparent demise in Dark Disciple. My headcanon is that Season 3 takes place in 17 BBY.

Master: 6 (5 not counting Taron Malicos who is the most likely to be dead)
Knight: 3 (2 not counting Cal Kestis who was knighted post Order 66)
Padawan: 3 (4 counting Asajj Ventress)
Youngling: 5 (4 not counting Rodian Youngling who probably isn't around anymore)
N/A: 7
I would say 11 of them we will never know what happened (Maybe 12, but i want to believe they will show Oppo Rancicis again) with Gungi being the most important of them (I don't believe we will be seeing him again, sadly) but we will probably be seeing the fates of Reva, Kelleran, Quinlan and other like them someday, and we will obviously see Ahsoka, Grogu and Cal Kestis on the future.

"He always said he wasn’t a star player, but that he played with the stars." -- Josephine Andrews, Ivy's widow

"Poison" Ivy Andrews book-ended his career with the Yankees, starting in 1931 with Babe Ruth and Earle Combs and ending in 1938 with Joe DiMaggio and Joe Gordon. In between he played for three other teams and with a total of 16 Hall of Famers!
Ivy Paul Andrews -- Poison was the nickname, Ivy was his given name, and who knows why his parents gave him that first name -- was born May 6, 1907, in the coal mining city of Dora, Alabama. His father was a coal miner, as well as at least three of his brothers.
Andrews played football, basketball, and baseball for his high school team, and the Daily Mountain Eagle called him "possibly, the greatest athlete ever produced in Walker County."
After high school, he played semi-pro baseball and was signed by a minor league team in Mobile. There, he was spotted by scout Eddie Herr, who convinced the Yankees to spend $25,000 to purchase his contract.
Andrews spent the next four years in the minors, having some good years -- he went 9-1 for Albany in 10 games in 1929 -- but also some injuries that derailed his progress. In 1931, at the age of 24, he was pitching for the Jersey City Skeeters in the International League. The manager there was former major league pitcher and Previously Forgotten Yankee Bob Shawkey, who helped turn several promising prospects into bona fide pitchers, including Red Ruffing, Lefty Gomez, Johnny Allen, and another previously Forgotten Yankee, Spud Chandler.
Ivy wasn't great for the Skeeters, 7-12 with a 4.29 ERA, but the Yankees were struggling and needed a pitcher. More impressive than his minor league numbers was a start Andrews made in an exhibition game against the Reds in Cincinnati, throwing a shutout. Five days later, Andrews was in Detroit for his major league debut against one of the worst teams in the league, the Detroit Tigers. It wasn't pretty -- he gave up four runs, three earned, on 10 hits in six innings -- and he left with the Yankees trailing 4-1. But the Yankees rallied with a three-run 8th inning to tie it up and it went to extra innings and finally won it after 16 innings. Babe Ruth homered and Tony Lazzeri went 4-for-8 with an RBI.
He stayed with the Yankees the rest of the year as a swingman, three starts and four relief appearances, and finished his debut season 2-0 with a 4.19 ERA (96 ERA+) and a 1.282 WHIP in 34.1 innings.
The following year he started the season in the same role, getting one start and three relief appearances. In 24.2 innings, he had a 1.82 ERA and 1.176 WHIP, but the Yankees -- already eyeing October after a 32-14 start -- wanted a more veteran pitcher. On June 5, the rookie was traded to the Red Sox for Danny MacFayden. Though only two years older, MacFayden was in his seventh season in the majors and had won 16 games the previous year.
MacFayden was no doubt happy to be out of last place Boston, but it wasn't a bad move for Ivy, either, as he finally earned a spot in the rotation. He went 8-6 with a 3.81 ERA (117 ERA+) in 141.2 innings with the Red Sox.
The following year Andrews went 7-13 with the Red Sox, then was traded to the St. Louis Browns for Carl Reynolds, a former Washington Senator who in 1932 was in one of the most famous brawls of the era against the Yankees' Bill Dickey.
Ivy had three pretty good years for a bad Browns team, going 24-30 with a 4.29 ERA (117 ERA+). In 1937, the Cleveland Indians acquired him from the Browns, along with former Yankee Lyn Lary and former Yankee prospect Moose Solters, for two future Yankees in Oral Hildebrand and Bill Knickerbocker, plus Joe Vosmik, who the Yankees nearly had a deal for in 1935.
Ivy made his Indians debut at home in Cleveland on April 24, 1937... and got a rude welcome! The Sporting News reported on April 29, 1937, that Andrews was booed by the home fans because he took the mound in relief of teenage sensation Bob Feller, who had been pulled from the game after six innings.

The boy's withdrawal, as already recorded, brought good-natured Andrews to the box and he went to work in a mild chorus of cat-calls, not directed at him, of course, but at the sudden disappearance of Feller.

Andrews won the crowd over with three scoreless innings of relief. The fans didn't know until later that Feller, who struck out 11 but also gave up four runs on four hits and six walks, was pulled due to elbow pain; he'd make just three more appearances over the first half, but after the All-Star Break made 17 starts and posted a 3.29 ERA.
On May 8, Andrews threw a four-hit shutout against the Yankees, out-dueling Lefty Gomez. It was, believe it or not, the first time we had been shut out that season, and we wouldn't be shut out again until the end of September.
The 1937 Yankees were indeed a powerhouse, with a double-digit lead on 1st place in the middle of August. But trouble was brewing as Spud Chandler's chronic arm troubles were flaring up again.
Five years earlier the Yankees had a big lead and were thinking of adding a veteran pitcher for October when they traded the rookie Andrews to the Red Sox. Now, in 1937, the situation was reversed. On August 14, we bought the contract of the veteran Andrews from Cleveland for $7,500 and put him back into his swingman role, and over the final six weeks of the season he went 3-2 with a 3.12 ERA (145 ERA+) in five starts and six relief appearances. In the postseason that year, he was used as a reliever in the Yankees' only loss of the series, a 7-3 defeat in Game 4. (Previously forgotten Yankee Bump Hadley was bombed for five runs on six hits in the first two innings, and Andrews pitched the next six innings, giving up two runs on six hits and four walks.) It would be the only postseason appearance of his career.
The following year, despite battling a leg injury that caused him to miss about a month, Andrews posted a 3.00 ERA (153 ERA+) and 1.417 WHIP in 48.0 innings mostly in relief. On September 28, 1938, with the Yankees coasting into the World Series with a 9.5 game lead, Ivy got his only start of the season in a game against the Washington Nationals. He gave up four runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk, taking the 4-1 loss. No one knew at the time, but it was the 31-year-old's final major league appearance. He was on the World Series roster but not needed as the Yankees used only four pitchers in a sweep of the Chicago Cubs.
In 1939, Andrews opened the year with the Yankees' top minor league team, the Newark Bears. Used as swingman, he went 7-5 with a 3.13 ERA in eight starts and 27 relief appearances. One of Ivy's teammates on that team was prospect Marius Russo, a previously forgotten Yankee. When the Yankees needed another starter in June, it wasn't Andrews but the 24-year-old Russo -- who had a 1.97 ERA in 10 starts for the Bears -- who got the call.
After the season, Andrews was traded to the Pacific Coast League in exchange for a prospect with the intriguing name of Rugger Ardizoia. He'd play in the minors for a few more seasons, with some good games here and there -- he threw back-to-back shutouts in 1944, crediting it to a "horseshoe and two rabbit feet" -- but never got back to the Show. In 1945, almost 38 years old, he hoped for one more season in the minors with the Mobile Bears but didn't make the team out of spring training and retired.
Poison Ivy remained active as a high school football and basketball coach and referee, and in the late 1940s was the pitching coach for his hometown Birmingham Barons. But his primary occupation was as a carpenter and contractor. His wife, Josephine -- he married her in 1934 -- became a history teacher at his alma mater, Dora High School. Andrews died in 1970 at the age of 63.
In 1975, the Andrews Award was established at Dora High School in his memory. It recognizes a senior with good grades who played two or more sports, as selected by the coaches, principal, and seniors. In 1979, a baseball field at Dora Municipal Park was named in his honor.
In 1985, Andrews was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. As Andrews was being considered for posthumous induction, Joe DiMaggio and Bill Dickey wrote letters of support:

"I remember Paul as a quiet, soft spoken affable man. But, inside that quiet reserve, he had a fiery competitive spirit that made him such a valuable asset to the Yankees that it was easy for him to fit into our teams of that era." -- Joe DiMaggio
"Paul made himself a fine pitcher with hard work and determination. He was aggressive, a gentleman and an asset to every club he was with." -- Bill Dickey

A Little More Poison?

• Though fans knew him as Poison Ivy, teammates usually called him Paul, or, from his last name, Andy. Newspapers sometimes listed his name as Ivy Paul Andrews and sometimes as Paul Ivy Andrews, but Ivy really was his first name. Here's his tombstone.
  
• In the history of major league baseball, there have been just three players with the nickname Poison: Andrews and Hall of Fame brothers Paul and Lloyd Waner. Paul, though only 5'8" and 153 pounds, was known as "Big Poison" -- not because of his size, but because he was the big brother. Lloyd, 5'9" and 150 pounds, was three years younger and therefore "Little Poison."
  
• "Big Poison" actually ended his career in pinstripes. Waived by the Dodgers on September 1, 1944, Waner was signed that same day by the Yankees, who were just two games out of first place. He was told if the Yankees won the pennant, he would be on the World Series roster as a veteran pinch hitter... but the Yankees went .500 over the rest of the season and finished six games out. Waner, 1-for-7 with two walks that month, returned in 1945 but saw just one plate appearance the first month. (He drew a walk.) The Yankees released the 42-year-old outfielder on May 3 and he retired to become a batting coach.
  
• Prior to the 1937 World Series, one sportswriter gave this memorable scouting report on Andrews: “Paul dotes on slow stuff and freak deliveries. He has greater variety of stuff than any pitcher in baseball. Throws screwballs, sinkers, sailors, knucklers, has a snapping curve, a humming fast ball, control and savvy. He drives batters crazy with a meat ball they can’t carve." Contemporary sportswriters often said Andrews had the best curveball in the major leagues.
  
• Yankee manager Joe McCarthy, quoted in the New York World-Telegram in 1937 on how Andrews's soft stuff contrasted nicely to the rest of his pitching staff: “[Lefty] Gomez, [Red] Ruffing and [Monte] Pearson have the old fast one. Then along comes 'Andy'. They’ll break their backs.”
  
• Oddly enough, there are references to the screwball as Ivy's "new pitch" in both 1935 and in 1937.
  
• Andrews had a variety of unusual ailments that plagued him over his career. In 1929, Andrews was said to have "a severe cold in his right shoulder," a recurring problem that would plague him for the next two seasons. He missed time in 1932 with "lumbago and influenza" -- what we'd call today lower back pain and the flu. In 1933, The Sporting News reported that Andrews's start to spring training was delayed "as a result of playing peacemaker in a dog fight in Sarasota" -- apparently he'd been bitten on the hand! He also had a leg injury that caused him to miss games in 1938.
  
• The scout who signed Andrews, Eddie Herr, also discovered Carl Hubbell, Babe Herman, Earl Whitehill, and Heinie Manush. Among his many Yankee finds were Bill Dickey, Walter "Jumbo" Brown, George Pipgras, and previously forgotten Yankee Sammy Byrd.
  
• As noted above, the 1937 Yankees were shut out just twice all season. The first time was May 8 against Andrews, pitching for the Cleveland Indians. The second time was in game two of a doubleheader on September 29 called after seven innings. Ironically, Andrews started and lost that game for the Yankees!
  
• In four seasons with the Yankees, Andrews wore four different numbers: #22, #34, #28, and #24. The first is currently worn by Juan Soto, and prior to that, Harrison Bader. #34 was worn last year by Michael King, and before him, Justin Wilson. #28 is now worn by Austin Wells and prior to that Josh Donaldson, but we all remember it being worn by Joe Girardi from 2010 to 2017 -- he'd worn #27 his first two years as Yankee manager, then switched after we won our 27th World Series in 2009! And #24, worn from 1996 to 2005 by Tino Martinez and from 2006 to 2013 by Robinson Cano, is now worn by Alex Verdugo.
  
• Andrews's brother, Kenneth, was a minor league pitcher for several years in the 1930s. The Red Sox had him in camp with Ivy in 1933, but he never made the majors.
  
• There have been a number of Alabama-born Yankees, including Ben Chapman, Oscar Gamble, David Robertson, Joe Sewell, Virgil Trucks, Dixie Walker, and previously forgotten Yankee Andy Phillips.
  
• The Yankees were 32-14 and comfortably in first place when Andrews was traded to the Red Sox on June 5, 1932 -- and kept up that blistering pace after, going 75-33 the rest of the way. After they won the World Series that year, his former teammates generously voted to give him a cut of the World Series share. But Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis ruled that players traded within the same league couldn't get any sort of reward or compensation from their former team. I guess the thinking was a player traded to a non-contender might throw games to help his ex-teammates win the pennant if he knew he might personally benefit from it.
  
• The pitcher the Yankees got in return for Andrews in 1932, Danny MacFayden, was a 27-year-old righthander and one of the rare major leaguers to wear glasses while playing. His dour personality and chronic case of Resting Bitch Face earned him the nicknames "Deacon Danny" and "Dismal Danny" from the press. Though you couldn't blame him for looking unhappy in Boston after going 1-10 over the first two months of the season, despite a respectable 3.86 FIP. (The Red Sox were the worst team in baseball that year, losing 111 games.) He found more success in New York, going 7-5 with a 3.93 ERA (104 ERA+) in 121.1 innings over the rest of the 1932 season. He lasted another year and a half with the Yankees, earning an uninspiring -1.3 bWAR, before being released and claimed by the Boston Braves.
  
• Prior to the 1937 World Series, Andrews said he'd never seen a World Series game before. A newspaper reported Andrews "says if he can’t play in the big games, he doesn’t want to watch them."
  
• In 1938, Ivy's 3.00 ERA led the league... sort of. Under the rules of the time, you only needed 45 innings to qualify for the pitching leaderboard, so Andrews's 3.00 in 48.0 IP gave him the ERA crown. The title has since been retroactively awarded to Boston's Lefty Grove, who had a 3.08 ERA in 163.2 innings. (The current rule is one inning for every team game, or 162.0 in a 162-game season.)
  
• The prospect the Yankees got from the Hollywood Stars for Andrews after the 1939 season -- 20-year-old Rinaldo "Rugger" Ardizoia -- was born in Oleggio, Italy, and came to America as a two-year-old toddler. The family moved to San Francisco, where as a 6-year-old Rinaldo got the nickname "Rugger" because, as he explained it, he was "a rugged little bugger." Just as it seemed Ardizoia was on the cusp of making the Yankees, World War II came along and in 1942 he was drafted into the U.S. Army. He served in the Pacific theater for three years, returning in 1946. Though he'd pitch in the minors for another five seasons, he had just one appearance in the major leagues, pitching in two innings for the Yankees in 1947.
  
• Ever since I started working on this post, I've had this song in my head -- now you do, too!
  

In four seasons with the Yankees, Ivy Andrews was 8-6 with a 3.12 ERA (140 ERA+) and 1.327 WHIP in 156.0 innings. That ERA+ reveals just how good he was, albeit in limited usage, while in pinstripes. Overall, in eight seasons, he was 50-59 with a 4.14 ERA (114 ERA+).

It may be chalked up as the slightest loss, but the Pereira/Rebecki parlay rolling on means this one could end up in the green in hindsight, so I’m happy with how things went really. Shoutout to Joanderson Brito for a great gameplan, he never let Shore into that fight and I don’t think it really mattered that it ended under strange circumstances. Borralho dominated as expected. Lucindo could have been more live for a submission if she’d had more time in round 1, but her striking was too superior. Drakkar Klose did what he does best. On to the next one.

~UFC St. Louis~
From a fan perspective this card is a bit dry, but from a betting perspective I think it’s got a lot of opportunities and it’s one I’m really looking forward to. At the time of writing, the event is in nine days and I’ve already placed five moneyline bets! It’s nice that there will be a crowd too, the Apex is boring.
Lots to say, so let’s get into it!

~Derrick Lewis vs Rodrigo Nascimento~
Very surprised by the betting line here. Derrick Lewis cannot be trusted to defend a takedown at this stage in his career, and that really isn’t a secret at all.
In my opinion, unless Derrick Lewis is facing a pure striker with equally low output, or a massively inferior level of competition, he shouldn’t be the betting favourite against anyone in the UFC. Of course he’s the most prolific knockout artist the UFC has ever seen so he cannot be too much of a dog either, but he’s literally KO or bust in every single fight. Betting is a game of probabilities, and I think it’s difficult to really argue that Lewis should be favoured to find the KO 50% of the time in a five-round fight. Especially when he faces an opponent that has the capabilities to put him on his back. look how easily Serghei Spivac justified a -225 pricetag against Derrick Lewis! No significant strikes absorbed, and a submission win inside three minutes. How Jailton Almeida didn’t manage to do the same, I’ll never know…but it still was very dominant.
Rodrigo Nascimento may not come to the Octagon with a singlet on, but he’s quite reliable to shoot takedowns when necessary – Such as against Tanner Boser, another heavyweight with notoriously bad takedown defence. Another important facet to his style is his BJJ. It’s been some time since we’ve seen him win by submission, but a heavyweight that looks to finish the fight on the mat will always be better than one who just lays and prays once they set up a dominant position (such as a Curtis Blaydes or a Carl Williams). Lewis is surprisingly durable on the mat, which gives him the opportunity to have another crack at the KO when the next round starts, but a submission threat like a Spivac or perhaps a Nascimento can look to get the fight stopped before that happens.
Nascimento isn’t a bad striker either, and whilst I certainly don’t recommend it, I don’t think it’s super crazy to imagine him possibly winning a striking battle here by playing the range game and out-voluming Lewis – at the very least he will keep it competitive whilst he’s conscious. This isn’t going even going to be as binary as the Spivac fight, where extended periods on the feet are so clearly in favour of Lewis.
Lewis has faced a lot of grapplers recently. He was +370 against Jailton, +180 against De Lima, +190 against Spivac, +300 against Blaydes…so why is he a favourite against an opponent that can also land takedowns against him? And also one who is probably the second best striker amongst those aforementioned names!? I know that Nascimento isn’t a pure grappler like some of them…but surely it would take about 30 seconds of gameplanning to realise that grappling is definitely the route to take here? We’ve seen him go 15 minutes and have control time for more than half a fight before. I also know that Nascimento hasn’t fought a level of opposition anywhere near this experienced or ‘high level’, but given the gap in skills I think there are regional
I’m not saying Nascimento is a vastly superior UFC fighter or someone destined for great things, but he’s well-rounded and capable of executing a very obvious gameplan. I will therefore be playing him for 2u at +140 or better. This is purely a bet based on number I’m getting on Nascimento, and I think everyone should be on it. Perhaps I am putting too much stock into the intelligence of a fighter (something I never like to do), but this really is a must bet. I do not believe you can mathematically justify Derrick Lewis being expected to win more than 50% of the time against an opponent that is better than him at everything except pure power.
I decided to pull the trigger as the more I think about this, the more I think this betting angle is obvious. There’s a risk in going early as Lewis is obviously a popular name, but I think the +137 is clear value, so I took it for 2u.
How I line this fight: Derrick Lewis +125 (45%), Rodrigo Nascimento -125 (55%)
Bet or pass: 2u Rodrigo Nascimento to Win (+137)
Prop leans: None, though Nascimento Submission is the very obvious lean

~Joaquin Buckley v Nursulton Ruziboev~
Late notice fight announcement but glad to see Buckley got himself a co-main spot on a home card. Buckley’s slowly growing into a decent fighter, and has proven to be much more than just the hard-hitting muscle-man that he was originally thought to be. Seeing him get a win over Vicente Luque is pretty mad, I even thought he’d struggle with Alex Morono.
Nursulton Ruziboev’s brief UFC career has seen him win by KO early in round one both times. Yeah, he hits hard. What else? I don’t really know. Buckley can live and die by the sword if you want to go full rabies with him (plenty of KO wins but also KO losses to Di Chirico, Holland and Curtis).
I’m sure this one will be fireworks, but I don’t really know how you could approach betting this one, other than targeting the clearly juiced FDGTD. We got Guskov/Spann at -20000 a few weeks ago, so I wouldn’t hold your breath. Onto the next one. Excited to see the fireworks though.
How I line this fight: No idea

Prop leans: None

~Terrance McKinney vs Esteban Ribovics~
Terrance McKinney is always an interesting fighter to look at from a betting perspective, because he’s got that unique 5 minutes of danger before falling off a cliff. It’s kind of funny to me how the UFC had to clearly cut back on the level of competition they’d been feeding McKinney, because he hit his ceiling pretty hard in the Sadykhov and Bonfim fights.
The front-runner style therefore makes his fights easy to get creative with, props wise. Basically, you go McKinney R1, or Ribovics R2/3. So which one do you go for? Well, that’s unfortunately where the confident opinions start to run out. McKinney should definitely be live for that R1 finish though, because I think Ribovics will struggle to contend with his power and physicality whilst they’re both fresh. His takedown defence against Radzhabov was not up to par either, and the scrambles could see him get caught in a submission against the opportunistic McKinney all the same.
However, if the fight does make it past that opening round, Ribovics certainly looks spirited and gritty enough to turn up the heat and force McKinney to capitulate like he usually does. It’s one of those weird capitulations where he doesn’t seem gassed or mentally checked out – it feels like he swaps places with his twin brother that’s not a fighter whilst on the stool. Kind of like Alex Hernandez.
So yeah, I’ll do what I usually do in these spots and see what kind of price I can get by building a McKinney R1 or Ribovics R2/3 prop for myself…but other than that I don’t think we’ll be finding any sort of value anywhere here. The McKinney prop narrative is pretty well documented at this stage. Though the live-betting angle will always exist because the 3^rd party people have no idea what they’re watching.
In terms of a moneyline, Esteban obviously has to be favoured due to the higher finishing potential across the available 15 minutes (he could win in R1,2, or 3). Definitely not interested in playing anything than that McKinney 1 or Ribovics 2/3 combination.
How I line this fight: Terrance McKinney +175 (36%), Esteban Ribovics -175 (64%)
Bet or pass: Potential single bet on McKinney R1 or Ribovics R2/3
Prop leans: See above

~Alonzo Menifield vs Carlos Ulberg~
Zo Menifield is a better fighter than many give him credit for, but I think this might be a terrible stylistic fight for him. He’s going up against the much more technical and quick striker, who can also hit pretty hard. For Zo to do the work he wants to do on the feet, he’s going to need to get inside, and for every moment he’s not there he’s going to be on the end of Ulberg’s superior straight shots. He’s basically going to have to get hit twice, to land one himself.
Before I started looking into this fight I was intrigued by Menifield’s potential path to victory via wrestling, but the stats he’s currently averaging 0.67 takedowns per 15 minutes, and just beat a kickboxer across 15 minutes in Dustin Jacoby without landing one. Not sure why I had it in my head that he looks to grapple.
That Jacoby fight does give some credit to Alonzo and indicate that he’s not as outmatched as you’d expect a less technical tank to be. The same logic I used in the opening paragraph really should also have applied to Dustin Jacoby, but DJ’s not a particularly reliable striker and is prone to some moments of stupidity.
So yeah…I think Zo’s got a chance, but it’s going to be an uphill battle that he loses more often than not. The line’s a bit too wide for my liking as Ulberg is flavour of the month at LHW, but either way I see no value to bet either guy here.
How I line this fight: Alonzo Menifield +200 (33%), Carlos Ulberg -200 (67%)
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None

~Tabatha Ricci v Tecia Torres-Pennington~
Another fight where I am very confused by the betting line. Yes, Tecia Torres has been out of competition whilst having a baby with Raquel Pennington, but it looks like she’s already back in ridiculous shape and I think the narrative of doubting/fading mothers is pretty overblown. Enough WMMA fighters have come back having given birth and looked fine. I asked a few mothers I know who work out and they didn’t think they suffered much of a set back once they shifted the initial weight. I take my research very seriously, you see, and if this bet loses it’s all their fault.
So I’m going to (perhaps foolishly) assume that the Tecia Torres we get for this fight is the same as the one from tape…and that woman absolutely should not be the underdog to Tabatha Ricci. She’s got a great mixture of speed and volume on the feet, and is more than capable of keeping herself safe in the grappling department. There are very few fighters outside the top five that I’d think should be a favourite against Tecia. And that’s even before considering that this fight is a decent matchup for her.
Comparatively, Tabatha Ricci has struggled whenever she’s faced an opponent that she can’t out-grapple. She put together a great run against Gillian Robertson, Jessica Penne, Polyana Viana and Maria Oliveira, but landed between 3-5 takedowns in all of those fights and either had a significant amount of subsequent top control time, or was the superior striker anyway. After that run, she faced Loopy Godinez in her most recent fight, where her takedowns were shut down and she was forced to strike against an okay-ish striker. It went to a split, but the majority of media scorecards were were in favour of Godinez for her superior striking. Not being able to differentiate yourself in the striking department against Godinez isn’t a very good sign really.
When it comes to decision heavy WMMA fighters, I think the statistics are at their most reliable (and I’m not much of a statistics guy usually). The stats here clearly paint the picture that Tecia Torres is the superior martial artist on the feet. She lands more, she gets hit way less. She has much better accuracy, and she defends more. And she got all of those superior stats from going 15 minutes against Marina, Namajunas (x2) Andrade, Joanna and Weili, whereas Ricci has padded hers by teeing off on Gillian Robertson and Jessica Penne.
If Torres-Pennington is able to get back to anywhere near the same level as she was before the pregnancy, I think the betting line is massively wrong here. God bless Alayah Torres-Pennington for this betting line! 2u on Torres-Pennington. I moved in when it was +137, but the line has shifted since. It’s always a good idea to consider playing WMMA underdogs, so this one was a no brainer to me.
How I line this fight: Tecia Torres-Pennington -150 (60%), Tabatha Ricci +150 (40%)
Bet or pass: 2u Tecia Torres-Pennington to Win (+137), perhaps an extra 0.5u on Torres Decision
Prop leans: Torres by Decision is a very reliable MoV

~Sean Woodson vs Alex Caceres~
Alex Caceres is a really tricky one. He has improved so, so much in the last few years, and I’d never have believed he’d make it this far. He was a contestant on TUF 12, the show most recent to when I started watching MMA (which also brought us Michael Johnson). Those who have been watching prelims for many years will remember when Alex was nothing more than a veteran that couldn’t wrestle for shit, and was constantly being used to further the careers of submission based fighters (Kron Gracie, for example). Somehow, during the lockdown break, he managed to sharpen the takedown defence and completely re-invented himself as a fighter. He’s 7-2 in his last nine, and the losses have come against Sodiq Yusuff and Giga Chikadze. A very respectable body of work.
Sean Woodson’s career has also had its ups and downs. He was touted as a prospect to look out for back in the day of Glory MMA & Fitness and everyone’s favourite UFC gambler, James Krause. Unfortunately for the gangly and unorthodox Woodson, he couldn’t handle the pressure and ended up having all of his hype destroyed by Julian Erosa. He won a few more fights, but then drew with Luis Saldana, and by that point everyone thought he was a busted prospect that couldn’t be trusted to win against anyone. Then he pulled off an upset against Charles Jourdain recently, and now we don’t know what to think.
So this is basically a bout between two guys who have blown hot and cold in different stages of their career, and they’re therefore guys I often look to gloss over when I see that they’re fighting because I know they can easily oveunder perform in relation to expectations. Woodson should be the more diverse and unorthodox fighter of the two to be able to win minutes against Bruce Leroy, but the power that Caceres has on the return very much could turn the tide in an instant. Woodson isn’t defensively sound and relies on his length too much, and we have seen him fumble winnable fights before.
I don’t have much confidence in this one at all, but I understand why Woodson’s the slight favourite, given his tricky style and frame, and the fact he’s a bit younger. The books have lined this one correctly though, using their vig to price either side out of being an appealing price. I’m not really sure how someone has a strong opinion on this one really.
How I line this fight: Sean Woodson -137 (58%), Alex Caceres +137 (42%)
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None

~Jake Hadley vs Charles Johnson~
Another Charles Johnson fight, another anti-grappling gameplan. I’m getting a bit bored of seeing the exact same fight really, it would be cool to see Johnson stand and trade with someone for 15 minutes.
In fairness to Hadley he’s hardly one-dimensional, but he’s definitely best as a grappler that uses striking as a means to an end. We have seen what he looks like when he can’t have significant top control time, or when he goes up against a guy that can put him on his back. And it shows him to be a great hammer but a bad nail.
Charles Johnson’s resurgence has been a very interesting turn of events! If you’re a regular UFC bettor, you’ll know Johnson as one of the most untrustworthy guys on the roster, who fails to put his stamp on rounds and only seems to be able to produce a maximum of 55% of superiority per round. That was, until he fought Azat Maksum last time, where his tenacity was enough for him to turn the fight on its head in the latter half, finally providing a Charles Johnson fight where we had confidence on what the judges’ scorecards were going to look like!
Johnson is a very hard guy to finish though, because he doesn’t have any actual major weaknesses that aren’t based on self-sabotage. That is going to turn into his biggest strength here against Hadley, whose 2-2 decision record paints a clear picture. In a fight where a finish is going to be hard to come by, I think this one is going to run very close, in typical Charles Johnson fashion. In short, Johnson’s skills nullify Hadley’s greatest skill, so this one should run closer than it might look on the wikicap.
Therefore, your only options are probably to hold your breath and bet Johnson as the +130 underdog for a bit of value, or pass completely. A bet on Hadley is definitely not adviseable at – money.
I was lining up to play the overs/FGTD, but I’ve seen that the Over 2.5 Rounds sits at -250…which is far too steep for me to entertain. Those bookies are sharp!
How I line this fight: Jake Hadley +100 (50%), Charles Johnson +100 (50%)
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: Either man’s decision prop could be an interesting way to bet this one.

~Jared Gooden vs Kevin Jousset~
Kevin Jousset makes his third appearance for the UFC, having impressed in two victories against Kiefer Crosbie (can) and Song Kenan (decent enough fighter). His output and diversity in the latter fight was really what caught my attention, as I was personally unsure he would be able to hang with UFC calibre opposition. I did bet him in his debut against Crosbie because his opponent that day has no business being in the UFC, but even the way he looked in that one had me questioning if he was up to the challenge.
On the subject of having ‘no business being in the UFC’, Jousset faces Jared Gooden. I know Gooden is a long time friend and associate of Dan Levy (HalfTheBattle) so I’m always hoping he does well, but honestly he’s proven countless times that he’s not good enough to be here. Of course, he’s a powerful guy, and in a cagefight that attribute is going to result in a couple of upsets…but Gooden has been competently outgrappled and outstruck on too many occasions for me to believe in him. Plus, he finally hit that KO path to victory against Wellington Turman, who is notoriously untrustworthy and shocking on the feet. If I remember correctly I was very adamant that people shouldn’t bet him there.
Jousset is a well-rounded guy as well. He’s not the most devastating striker but he does good defensive work (which is key here). He’s also more than happy to mix in takedowns and grappling when he deems it necessary, which is another advantageous asset here.
In short, whilst I’m still kind of suspicious of Jousset’s overally capabilities and whether or not he’s going to make anything of himself in the UFC, I can definitely see this one being an advantageous stylistic fight for him as the more well-rounded man. If Jousset can stay safe from Gooden’s power, he should have an easy enough victory on his hands.
In terms of the betting line, I would have put Jousset anywhere from the -200 to -250 range, which is pretty much where he’s landed. Makes sense to me. I’m glad I don’t have to consider betting this fight, because trusting either man with my money doesn’t feel good.
How I line this fight: Jared Gooden +225 (31%), Kevin Jousset -225 (69%)
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None

~Chase Hooper vs Viacheslav Borshchev~
Probably the most binary and therefore divisive fight on the card, which makes it possibly the most exciting one. Hooper’s a great grappler that can’t strike. Borshchev is a great striker that can’t defend takedowns.
I always land on the same conclusion when it comes to this kind of conundrum, and it’s because of our good friend Mackenzie Dern. Your BJJ doesn’t really mean shit if you have no wrestling (aside from pulling guard or catching submissions whilst standing, both of which don’t really happen often at all), and Chase Hooper doesn’t really have much wrestling. Of course, Slava Claus has bad wrestling defence…but I’d rate Hooper’s wrestling as clearly inferior to that of Mike Davis, Marc Diakiese or Nazim Sadykhov, so there aren’t actually strong guarantees that Chase can even consistently land takedowns here.
Obviously I think you have to make Borshchev the favourite here, as all fights start standing and his grappling defence seems solid enough that he shouldn’t get instantly submitted if he does get forced to the floor anyway. If that’s the case, I think he can clearly do damage and win fights off the scoring criteria. Hooper’s a tough kid, but when he eats shots they all look like fight enders with the amount his head snaps back. I genuinely think cutting his hair was a good strategic move for him. Also, this fight will have a live audience, and that plays ever so slightly into the metrics of the KO threat, not the grappler (because people still boo takedowns sometimes).
The books have it lined pretty where I would expect, with a small to moderate lean in Slava’s favour, so I don’t really think there’s any point in forcing a bet here. Both men have legitimate paths, it’s just that the Russian’s is slightly easier to land and will be more definitive. A win for Hooper likely sees him outgrapple his opponent for 15, whereas Borshchev can do it with one punch. Betting Slava KO would probably be the smartest play available, because that’s most of his win condition, whereas Hooper could win by all three methods.
I have noticed since writing that Slava may be moving down to -150, which is where I grade him without vig. If that price does solidify market wide, I may be interested in playing him to win by KO, or perhaps KO/DEC Double Chance. It would only be a 1u thing, but watch this space.
How I line this fight: Chase Hooper +150 (40%), Viacheslav Borshchev -150 (60%)
Bet or pass: 1u Slava KO or Slava KO/Dec…we will see.
Prop leans: None

~Trey Waters vs Billy Goff~
I honestly can’t remember a thing about either guy, I was surprised to see this wasn’t a double debut. From looking at Tapology I vaguely remember their last fights, with Goff steamrolling that Japanese guy on the South Korea card and Waters styling on Josh Quinlan.
I need a lot more info than that to be able to decipher this one. Info I honestly cannot be bothered to go and find, considering the most I could get would be a low-confidence opinion. I’mma pass on this one and admit I just couldn’t be arsed. I’m quite confident I wouldn’t have felt comfortable betting it anyway, so that’s probably some time saved. Check out Slayer’s breakdown on Wednesday/Thursday, he’ll have the goods.
How I line this fight: Didn’t do tape
Bet or pass: Pass
Prop leans: None

~Waldo Cortes-Acosta vs Robelis Despaigne~
I’ve been a consistent Waldo hater since he came to the UFC. He’s a fat guy who strikes, but his power actually looks to be severely lacking. In fact, the only thing he actually does well is a leg kick. Seriously, how can you be that size, that young, and still not KO 2024 Andrei Arlovski? Don’Tale Mayes did it. Waldo also lost a round to Chase Sherman and Jared Vanderaa ffs. I have every reason not to understand why he’s looked at favorably.
Robelis Despaigne’s UFC debut was short lived but impressive all the same. That stuff doesn’t tell us much at all, but he’s a very credentialed combat sports athlete (Lonon 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist). I can’t really say it with super confidence, but this does feel like it should be a very winnable fight for him.
A lot of people are immediately quoting Despaigne’s MMA record and highlighting his inexperience, but my counter to that would be to consider what experience and tools he is actually going to need here?
I don’t think Cortes-Acosta will have any interest in grappling or attempting takedowns, and I also think he’s the inferior fighter from a power perspective. In a fight like this, what more do you really need?
I’m surprised Despaigne is only around -170 here. I get that he’s inexperienced in MMA but he’s far more experienced than Waldo in professional competition. Maybe I’m being too basic with my analysis here and Waldo actually has something for him, but I was expecting -250 at least. I did initially hesitate on whether or not I wanted to play Despaigne here, given I’ve not got a whole lot to offer in my analysis other than Olympian vs fat boi….but I don’t think Waldo brings anything uniquely MMA to the table that Despaigne is going to struggle with?
I scoffed at that Jhonata Diniz guy making his debut -250 to Austen Lane few weeks ago because I saw a clear angle for an MMA based opponent to capitalise on a skillset that the vastly more credentialed striker wouldn’t be well versed in dealing with. Given what we saw there, I’d say I was absolutely right. Diniz still got the job done, but Lane was able to weaponise MMA experience. Waldo probably won’t. Honestly it wouldn’t even surprise me to see Robelis try and show off some of his MMA improvements and shoot a takedown on fat boi.
2u Robelis Despaigne to win at -163. This could age terribly because I know I’m going against my principles here…but this betting line could look like an absolute gift in hindsight.
How I line this fight: Waldo Cortes-Acosta +250 (29%), Robelis Despaigne -250 (71%)
Bet or pass: 2u Robelis Despaigne to Win (-163)
Prop leans: None

~Carlos Diego Ferreira vs Mateusz Rebecki~
Very simple fight to break down, I think. Rebecki’s a very dominant wrestler with the topside grappling ability to keep you there once he grounds you. We haven’t seen him fight a super high level of competition yet, but I think we’ve seen enough to be excited by him as a prospect.
The above description of Rebecki’s style sounds a lot like a fella called Gregor Gillespie. We saw him face Carlos Diego Ferreira back in 2021 and ultimately force a stoppage by using his style to overwhelm CDF until the ref showed mercy. Mateusz Gamrot, an equally impressive grappler (but with worse top control time than Rebecki and Gillespie) also managed to get CDF to tap to strikes (which is a big, big red flag). Beneil Dariush, though not a pressure wrestler or big ground striker, was able to ground CDF and ride out top position to win comfortably against the Brazilian on two separate occasions. In short, CDF is a prime victim for Rebecki’s style.
And to make matters worse, all of those three aforementioned fights of CDFs happened three years ago. The Brazilian is now 39 years old, and we’ve only seen him compete once since the trio of losses. That was against Michael Johnson, in a fight he was quite clearly losing and was looking terrible in before his power and Johnson’s A+ capitulation managed to gift him a win. Sad for me as I was on the underdog there and felt it was a great bet, but really anyone who bets on a flake like Michael Johnson gets what they pay for.
I felt that -250 was just not a steep enough price tag for Rebecki here, so I bet him heavy a week ago. I fully believe in the guy’s abilities as a grappler, and CDF is ripe for the picking when looking to execute that kind of style. That’s not to mention CDF looks fucking old and clearly on his way out, and is being fed to a 19-1, 31-year-old beast that can get another dominant win on his record against a veteran with a recognisable name (if you don’t recognise CDF’s name, you a casual). I played Rebecki for 3u at -250, then parlay’d him for 2u more with Michel Pereira against Ihor Poteiria last week. That’s 5u in total riding on Rebecki.
I’ve noticed that the betting line has now moved into the -300s since then. I’m a bit sick of harping on about how much of an edge you get by working ahead, but there’s yet another example.
How I line this fight: Carlos Diego Ferreira +400 (20%), Mateusz Rebecki -400 (80%)
Bet or pass: 3u Mateusz Rebecki to Win (-250), 2u Mateusz Rebecki to Win (-105, parlay’d with Michel Pereira last week)
Prop leans: None, but CDF’s ability to wilt on bottom would make me believe Rebecki can finish him here, most likely via KO

~JJ Aldrich vs Veronica Hardy~
JJ Aldrich has historically been a bit of a money train for me, because she doesn’t get the respect she deserves for her skillset. I arb’d out of a bet on Aldrich when I confidently bet her at the opener against Montana De La Rosa (admittedly I got spooked by the line movement and the face I was on an island with that one). I also bet her against Na Liang (she underperformed there, in fairness), Gillian Robertson and Vanessa Demopoulos too.
Her style ain’t pretty, and it doesn’t blow your hair back…but Aldrich is a very competent striker that also has very good takedown defence. If you aren’t an above average striker, you’re therefore likely to struggle against her. Look what she did against Erin Blanchfield – she competently won most of the minutes in that fight and could have easily gone on to beat Erin were it not for that very lucky guillotine (not to discredit a good win from Erin, but it was fortuitous). Yes it’s easy to say that in hindsight, but it’s a testament to the skills Aldrich has, and the fact she’s not really faced too many steps up in competition over the years actually makes her quite underrated.
Veronica Hardy has been a bit of a strange one since she came back to competition. Everyone faded her (myself included) against Juliana Miller, which was possibly the squarest bet I have ever placed in my life. She looked good there, but I think her performance that day was flattered by how awful her opponent was and how much she overcame the betting odds and the lay-off. It felt like the perfect storm for Veronica, so the fact she overcame it kind of bolsters that win when in reality she beat a non-UFC calibre fighter. Miller is also purely a grappler and couldn’t get her takedowns going, so there isn’t really a whole lot of comparison to make for that fight anyway because that’s not JJ’s style.
Hardy’s last appearance came against Jamey-Lyn Horth, a then 6-0 Canadian fighter who hadn’t done anything remarkable in her career, other than beat the equally average and non-UFC calibre Hailey Cowan. The fight was razor close, with both women incidentally landing the exact same number of significant strikes and takedowns. A split decision was understandable there, it was a hard one to score. Wasn’t impressive.
Back to this fight, and I am once again very confused by the betting line, because I think the market is massively underrating JJ Aldrich, as always. She’s faced the much better level of competition in recent years, and the only fighter that’s gotten the better of her in the striking is Ariane Lipski.
Even if you’re just wiki-capping this fight, you should conclude that Aldrich deserves to be favoured. So what does Veronica Hardy have that bridges that gap and pushes her to be the slight favourite? Is it popularity? The fact that she’s hot? Her affiliations to Dan Hardy? The fact she’s a personality outside of MMA? I don’t know but I genuinely think it’s more likely to be any of those things than anything we see on tape! Because I didn’t see anything.
Honestly I think it’s quite likely that those are the factors. A fight like this isn’t going to get a lot of action, and any casual making a 12-fold parlay is more likely to recognise Hardy’s name? Idk, it’s a weird one but either way I’m betting Aldrich for 2u here at +125. I think she should be -150 at least.
How I line this fight: JJ Aldrich -150 (60%), Veronica Hardy +150 (36%)
Bet or pass: 2u JJ Aldrich to Win (+125), 0.5u JJ Aldrich to Win by Decision (+175 or better)

🫖 Welcome back to the Asylum write-up. This is where you live now. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
In this installment, we finally take a closer look at how Emilie Autumn's hyper-loyal fanbase gradually started losing faith in her as, among other things, it became more and more apparent that she... wasn't exactly a reliable narrator – in her semi-autobiographical book, or in general.

HOW IT STARTED: A WOMAN OF MYSTERY

Willow, weep for me Don't think I don't see This life I'm living in two But still it's something I must do I'm not unique in this Nor am I special, sweet, or kind I court a thousand smiles Yet I keep my own to hide behind (“Willow”, 2004 🎵)

I've previously referred to EA as an “expert vagueposter”, and this is relevant here.
For an artist who built her brand on a pledge of raw, rats-and-all honesty, EA has always been quite guarded about the specifics of her personal life. (Until her current partner, for instance, she always danced around calling anyone a boyfriend, even when the nature of the relationship was pretty obvious.) Her whole angle is telling “the truth”, but through whimsical fantasy. As early as the fairy-themed Enchant era, she had her own world, her own vernacular; she spoke in metaphors, in-jokes, and quirky anachronisms. Taxis were carriages, her electric keyboard was a harpsichord, she always capitalized Time and Art like Shakespeare does. On the Asylum forum, automatic word filters would change “fan” to “muffin”, “fairy” to “faerie”, “bra” to “teacup holder”, and “responsibility” to “ratsponsibility”.
She's a chatterbox who loves to share memories and funny anecdotes, but she usually keeps them short and sweet, Snapple-facts style. 📝 She's great at painting by touches in her storytelling, revealing just enough to let your imagination auto-complete the rest. 🔍 Even the most banal tidbits are very artfully told, very “on brand”, often dense with symbolism and foreshadowing – but also very abstracted.
She is especially elusive when it comes to her background and formative years. See the way she catches herself in this interview 📺📝 while describing her “favorite scar”, which is from an eel bite: “My – well, someone I knew... [gasp-laugh] had it as a pet, and...” (She was about to say “my sister”.)
In short, the way EA talks about her life is often very personal, but not all that candid – and sounds more like it's meant to provide a curated, coherent backstory for Emilie Autumn the character, rather than Emilie Autumn the person.

I'll tell the truth, all my songs Are pretty much the fucking same I'm not a fairy but I need More than this life, so I became This creature representing more to you Than just another girl... (“Swallow”, 2006 🎵)

In the beginning, this guardedness naturally contributed to the mystique. It made it all the more special when, once in a while, she would briefly drop the theatrics to share something earnest and relatively unfiltered. Like this composed, but vulnerable post from 2004 📝 about her father losing his battle to cancer, and her attempts at closure over their tense relationship. Or this 2012 anti-bullying campaign thing 📺 in which she opens up about being a target of intense physical bullying in elementary school, to a point that contributed to her being homeschooled at 9.
Fans in the early years were curious about her backstory, of course – but not too prodding or invasive, to my knowledge. I think there was an understanding that EA, like many performers, wanted to come across as human and approachable, while still cultivating an “aura” and retaining some privacy. But obviously, when she announced that she was writing a Tell-All Memoir in 2007, everyone was dying to read it. TEA TIME!

HOW IT'S GOING: A WOMAN OF... MALARKEY???

LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! LIAR! (“Liar”, 2006 🎵)

As we've learned, the original 2009 release of EA's book was highly anticipated, but somewhat tainted by a bunch of shipping delays and unfulfilled promises. From the start of her career, EA had always cultivated a close parasocial involvement with her audience; many fans had as deep an attachment to her, personally, as they did to her art. So, for instance, when EA tweeted about all the personal dedications she was lovingly writing in overdue books, only for the books to arrive many months later and unsigned with no tangible explanation, it wasn't simply frustrating: it was betrayal amongst kin!
Really, it wasn't so much about fans not getting what they paid for – it was about the lack of clear communication or genuine accountability. This is pure speculation on my part, but the poppycock that EA tweeted about signing the books strikes me as the panic-lie of someone who hadn't realized just how many heartfelt, personalized dedications she would actually have to write when she came home from tour. And then she just couldn't do it, because she was overworked, paralyzed, distracted, depressed, procrastinating, whatever. Which... you know... is unfortunate, but probably not unforgivable. Especially for a touring performer who is open and vocal about their mental health issues.
I'm confident that most fans would have been happy to tell her that her well-being meant more to them than an autograph, or something along those lines. Instead, EA's cagey and avoidant demeanor around this issue left fans very salty – and newly suspicious of their favorite artist's word.
Which was regrettable timing for EA, because they had just received their copies of her memoir.
Here's a cursory look at some key biographical points that didn't hold up to scrutiny when more and more vexed fans, over the years, started looking into them.
Content warning until end of post: family estrangement, death by fire, worsening physical health issues, mention of disordered eating / weight loss / thinspiration, and LIES! LIES! LIIIIIES!

“EMILIE AUTUMN LIDDELL (BORN SEPTEMBER 22, 1979) IS AN AMERICAN SINGER-SONGWRITER...” (Wikipedia)

Every fandom has its Holy Grail. Because a number of EA's early releases were limited pressings put out through now-defunct record labels, the EA fandom in its heyday was a collector's wonderland. 📝🦠 At the height of her popularity, the original Enchant jewelcase (the one with the puzzle-poster) could easily fetch around $500 dollars on eBay, unsigned. The handwritten lyrics of an Opheliac B-side went for $940 in 2009. Don't even ask me about the hard copies of her two poetry books: those never even popped up over the five or six years that I had various alerts set up for all EA-related listings.
But the true crown jewel of EA rarities is the untitled promo version of her (also virtually unfindable) 2001 instrumental debut On a Day... No one knows how many copies exist. The darn thing is so rare that it's not even listed on Discogs. For a while, the only picture of the elusive “Violin” promo CD that was circulated online was this one.🪞 Go ahead, click the link. Notice anything odd? That black box where one composer's birth year should be?
I'm not sure why the notorious hyper-fan who originally shared this picture on the forum in the early 2010s took it upon himself to censor it before posting. I wasn't able to pinpoint when or why people started questioning EA's age, but clearly, something had already transpired to let him know that not redacting said birth year might, uh... cause an upset. In any case: at some point, people started digging – and eventually, the unredacted version of the “Violin” tracklist (as well as public records and literal receipts from eBay auctions) would be brandished as one more piece of damning evidence that EA was indeed (gasp!) two years older than she claimed to be.
“Okay, and?” you shrug. “What's the big deal?” I'm shrugging too! What can I say? People don't like realizing they've been fooled, even about something stupid. I will note that EA's fall equinox birthday (hence her middle name “Autumn”, yes) had been somewhat significant in the fandom. Over the years, EA's birthdays had been marked by online release parties, Q&A's, community events, special merch sales... A number of fans liked donning her trademark cheek heart on September 22. It felt a bit uncanny to realize that she had been announcing a false age on those occasions. It wasn't “a big deal” so much as it was incredibly odd.
Other than being appalled that Self-Proclaimed Staunch Feminist EA would give in to the cult of youth and not cop up to her real age, many fans were just plain bewildered: who would commit so stubbornly to such an inconsequential lie? What was even the point of lying by two years only? Why did she think anyone would care that she was 28 rather than 26 when Opheliac came out? What was she possibly getting out of this...??
My completely speculative theory is that, whether it was her idea or her then-manager's, the lie originated as a marketing strategy early on in her career. The “Violin” demo was recorded in 1997, when EA was 19-going-on-20. Per the liner notes of On a Day... 📝, which came out when she was 22, the demo's purpose was to be “a sort of calling card in the classical music industry”. Evidently, that didn't work out; EA claims, in the same paragraph, to have walked out on a classical recording deal at 18 because they wouldn't give her enough creative control.
Talented and unique as she was, she was trying to break out in a notoriously elitist and innovation-resistant milieu – and unlike her, most of the 22-year-old classical violinists she was in competition with had actually graduated from their prestigious music schools. But you know what sells better than an ambitious college dropout in her early twenties? Tweaking the truth just so to market yourself as an unconventional wunderkind, barely out of her teens! Any rendition of a complex, learnèd musical piece sounds more intriguing and impressive if you think it was played by an especially young (and beautiful) person. 20 was plausible, close enough to her real age, barely a lie at all, and such a nice, round number for a debut album.
Notice how much of the On a Day... liner notes, linked above, center on her precociousness, her uniqueness, and her savant-like dedication to her craft – a focus that seems absent from the promo version (from what I can decipher in those potato-quality pictures, anyway). These talking points would provide the basis for a lot of her early self-promotion and budding stage persona in the Enchant years. Even though the EP failed to make EA a household name in the classical world, the wunderkind narrative was her “in” to grab the attention and heart of a broader audience.
And I guess she's been running with it ever since.

“MY ANCESTRY IS POSITIVELY LITTERED WITH LUNATICS AND GIRLS WHO FALL DOWN RABBIT HOLES ... MY NAME IS EMILIE AUTUMN LIDDELL. YES, THAT LIDDELL.”

Oh, come on. Much as a fan may want to believe, isn't that a little on the nose? The anglophile with an obsession for tea, clocks, and madness... is literally related to Alice in Wonderland? 🔍 Curiouser and curiouser indeed.
EA came out as Emilie Autumn Liddell in The Book – of course – in a passage where she describes an interaction with a nurse. 📝 Note how she stresses the authenticity of her name, and how not-chosen it is (and the Alice connection, which just comes up organically) by disclosing it in a scene where she's filling out paperwork.
I'm pointing this out, because it would be tempting to allow room for creative license (and the slightest cringe) in a work of creative fiction based on personal experience. Buuut... TAFWG was not marketed as fiction. The main narrative in TAFWG, according to EA, is an actual fac-simile of the journals she kept during a harrowing stay at a Los Angeles psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt. This is something that EA has stressed from the inception of the book (and throughout all subsequents re-issues, even as the main narrative was altered and reworked), even claiming that a legal team had advised her to redact some names to avoid potential lawsuits. So, no, she's not doing a bit there.
When, after it made the rounds a few times, it became apparent that the claim didn't really make sense 📝🔍, reactions were mixed. Some older, diplomatic fans downplayed it as a somewhat embarrassing, but harmless self-mythologizing – similar in nature to her insistence on calling her electric keyboard a “harpsichord”. Devout EA apologists (commonly referred to as “bootlickers” in an increasingly polarized fandom – oh, don't worry, we're getting to that!) invoked the “life as performance art” defense: when she said it was literally her first name, she meant it metaphorically, duh! And either way, she probably had her reasons.
But others took offense at the boldness of the lie, or simply became curious. Was Liddell even her name at all?
If you've checked the link just above, you already know the answer. Per the public California birth log (a somewhat demented invasion of privacy that could well have been avoided by... not repeatedly drawing attention to a name that someone in the book calls “right out of a movie”?) : yes, no, kind of.
EA was born Emily Autumn Fischkopf* on September 22, 1977. The name came from her father, a first-generation immigrant from Germany. Her maternal grandmother's maiden name was Liddell (but no, not that Liddell, or so remotely that it doesn't matter). EA may have had it legally changed at some point in the last decade, but as of 2012, based on the public log of foreign visitors to Brazil (where she toured that year), her passport still bore the name “Emily Autumn Fischkopf”.
*No, EA's birth name is not literally “Fischkopf”. It's a non-silly German name that begins with an F. I know that it's ridiculous to clutch my pearls about EA's peace of mind now, but triggering new and disquieting Google alerts for a name she clearly wants nothing to do with (and that you don't care about) just feels... distasteful? I don't know. That info has been floating around long enough, the point has been made; this write-up is not about EA's last name, but about the fiends we made along the way! So Fischkopf it is.
Let's track the evolution here! It appears that she went by “Autumn Fischkopf” for at least part of her formative years, if we are to believe the credits from Mark Ruffalo's middling film debut 📺 (she was the child actor's violin-playing body double) and this random article about a Nigel Kennedy performance in 1997. 🔍 (That last link – possibly her first ever mention in the press? – is a niche favorite of mine. Violin superstar Nigel Kennedy calls her a “talented fiddler”, which suggests that she did have some cred and promise in the classical milieu at a young age, and that there is at least some truth to her claims of being a wunderkind. It also cracks me up that, out of all the things she's reiterated over the years, “I was born in '79” was a lie, but “I was attacked by a pet eel” was fact-checked by Nigel Kennedy.)
At some point in her late teens, she dropped the Teutonic surname and adopted the French ending of her given name (she made it a “LIE”! how poetic) to form the moniker “Emilie Autumn”. I assume that's also when she started privately going by Emilie / EA for short.
So there you have it. The damning evidence. A performing artist... changed her name. To her grandmother's name. Riveting stuff!
And to think that her fans could have carried on naively believing “Autumn” was her last name, or assuming it was a romantic nom de scène she picked during her Ren Fair phase. Or perhaps, even, not thinking much about her name at all, like normal people.
But nooo, she just had to poke the hornet's nest by making a whole thing out of it.

“MY ENTIRE FAMILY DIED IN A FIRE.”

If you've never encountered a method-acting con artist or a person who struggles with pathological lying (I'll let you decide for yourself which of these, if either, applies to EA), you probably believe that you'd spot them a mile away. And in my experience, that's exactly why you wouldn't! Whether it's compulsion or calculated strategy, successful fibbers rely on people's natural social cues (like their assumption of good faith, their confirmation bias, their empathy, their desire for validation, their fear of awkwardness, ...) to subtly direct the flow and tone of the conversation. This allows them to short-circuit potential questioning of their claims.
One such strategy, for instance, I call the “I-will-not-further-speak-about-the-incident maneuver”. Out of the blue, you drop a graphic and incisive one-liner about something horrific that happened to you, in a curt or flippant tone that throws the listener off and usually shuts them up – thus sparing you from having to back up your claim with any convincing specifics. I'm not saying that every person who does this is a liar. Horrific stuff does happen to people, and I'm not here to police how they're supposed to disclose it. I'm just saying that if you wanted to fabricate an obvious Tragic Backstory™ and smuggle it past otherwise rational, discerning and reasonably intelligent people, that would be one way to do it. Full disclosure: it does work better in person than it does over the internet, especially when you've kept a blog.
When EA curtly dropped this bomb on Twitter (in response to an innocuous fan question that mentioned her parents – the receipt has sadly been X'd out of existence), and every subsequent time a new fan found out about her family's tragic demise (“I had no idea!”), the response was typically one of shock and sadness – and, in a few heartbreaking cases, commiseration from other survivors of family-annihilating events.
Many fans already had a hunch that something was up with her family, of course. She hinted at neglect and possible abuse in her book and lyrics. A number of her fans also came from dysfunctional households, so her not wishing to elaborate on the topic would probably have been a non-issue. But now she's saying they're dead? All of them? In a FIRE?! Holy macaroni! And you know it must have been awful, because EA – the same woman who got a dozen bangers out of a three-month-long toxic relationship, and based over a decade of her work on one bad hospital stay – had never, not once, felt called to share a song or poem about how it might affect a person to... lose all of their entire immediate family to a fire. Hmm. Meanwhile, the handful of older fans who had been following her since Enchant and remembered her dad passing in 2004 gritted their teeth and rolled their eyes. “Do your research. That's all I can say.” (We'll get into the culture of censorship free speech regulation on the Asylum forum in due time.)
Before more and more embittered ex-fans started compiling and circulating the receipts in the early-mid-2010s, investigating the whole “dead family” thing was a lonely journey – a coming-of-age expedition for the critical-minded Plague Rat, trawling through free background check websites and old Wayback Machine archives, until you went “Welp, there it is, I guess” and suddenly felt older, stupider, and a little bit hollow inside.
Although I don't remember how I personally made my way to The Truth (lol) back in the day, I still have a vivid memory of the moment I found the Facebook profile of EA's Very Much Non-Deceased Mother. It was mostly posts about her costume design work. A few candid pictures with EA's siblings and their kids. Christmas, birthdays, a wedding. Just... aggressively normal stuff. It was bizarre, looking in on this family of cheerful strangers with familiar cheekbones. Knowing that, somewhere out there, was an estranged eldest daughter, who had run off years ago to become a fiddle-wielding rockstar – and was now passing them off as having all died a gruesome death, while her fans secretly stalked their family photos. (Because I know you'll be asking in the comments: yes, EA's family is aware. Her mother once posted a picture of young EA and her siblings on Pinterest, sarcastically captioned “After most of us were killed in the fire.” 📝)
Again, it's tempting to discount EA's remark as a metaphor for family estrangement, taken too literally by neurodivergent minors who just didn't understand performance art. Well. First of all, even as a metaphor... let's admit, once again, that that 2000s edginess has aged like fine milk. It's a little crass to make a “metaphor” out of a plausible, life-shattering trauma that other people actually have to live with. (Veronica lost a beloved house to a literal fire 🔍 during her tenure as a Crumpet, for instance; no one died, but that alone seemed pretty rough.)
But, more to the point, evidence suggests that EA also told this to real people in her real, off-stage life – such as her Trisol manager, who backed the claim on the official Asylum Forum in 2007. 📝 When questioned about this post on a renegade forum in 2013, he had this to say:

I was the fool in this case. EA made that up of course. It’s just one thing on a long list of things she made up. Let’s agree she’s very creative with facts if she wants people to believe a story. (...) I once had a short chat with [EA's mom] and I got the strong impression she wasn’t dead at the time. Haha.

(OK, dude, but did you or did you not sell fake EA tickets on a scammy website in 2008? Because we never did get the skinny on that.)
Fifteens years on, EA continues to insist, unprompted, that “the fire” destroyed her childhood drawings and baby pictures. 📝 This more recent Instagram post is like a Greatest Hits of her most notorious yarns, to a degree that's either premeditated trolling or a subconscious call for help. She casually, yet pointedly mentions her age in relation to a specific year... and specifically draws attention to the signature, one that she used well into the Enchant era. In doing so, she made me notice, for the first time, that the A blends into an F. As one could expect from an artsy, Renaissance-obsessed teenager, her OG signature was a freaking monogram for Emily Autumn Fischkopf. It's like “The Tell-Tale Heart” for the digital age! AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING THIS?? 🦠

A BIT O' THIS & THAT: MISCELLANEOUS CLAIMS

Just for fun, here are other sundry “citation needed” facts that EA has claimed over the years. All are originally from the book unless sourced otherwise. Some of them may have been jokes, some of them might even be true! Whatever that word still means!

• She suffered near-fatal leukemia at age 2, but miraculously recovered. Doctors were baffled.
• She has perfect pitch and tone-color synesthesia. 🔍
• She also had a photographic memory before Ativan ruined it. That's how she remembers what the sky looked like on the day she came out of the hospital leukemia-free.
• It is well-known and well-established, among the bipolar community, that bipolar people all over the world will regularly and inexplicably wake up at 4 in the morning. 🎵 On the dot. No one knows why, but they do. Doctors are baffled.
• She can play the violin on horseback!
• The traumatic hospital stay happened before Opheliac until it happened after. 🔍 Doctors are time lords.
• TAFWVG “has been cited in text-books used as part of the psychology curriculum at Oxford University in London.” 📝 I would have intuited Oxford University to be in Oxford, but then again, I didn't go to Oxford.

ELECTRIC VIOLIN: UNPLUGGED

You know how whenever a musician starts behaving obnoxiously, old sages will come down from Mount Wisdom to advise disgruntled fans to “simply ignore [behavior]” and “just focus on the music”? Well, in the Asylum, “just focusing on the music” won't always preserve you from EA's shenanigans. This “claim” is a little different, but I've decided to include it because it is so odd, emblematic, and ultimately tragic. I also count it as “biographical”, because it involves a key tenet of EA's character sheet: the violin.
Being a kickass fiddler is one of EA's trademarks, and has always been central to her narrative; as of 2024, “world-class violinist” is still the first claim to fame she lists in the “Story” section of her official website. Which beggars the question: why won't she play it? And why won't she acknowledge that she's not playing it?
We got our hopes up in 2020, with that one post 📝 about her iconic 1885 Gand & Bernardel getting refurbished by a luthier – a thoughtful birthday surprise from her boyfriend – but despite the promising “More to come...” at the end of the caption, that turned out to be a false alarm. In truth, it may well have been over a decade since anyone has witnessed EA draw a single note from her cherished instrument.
The fact that Lord Autumn was able to sneak it out during lockdown without the Lady noticing tends to confirm that she hadn't been playing much behind the scenes. She seems to be under the impression that e-violin manufacturer Zeta is no longer in business (they did close down in 2010 🔍, but reopened under new management in 2012), which suggests that she hasn't been keeping up with the violin scene for a while. Besides, the fingernails don't lie. 🐀
As the live shows veered more theatrical with the release of Opheliac, the extended violin features from the Enchant era were cut to two main appearances per concert: “Face the Wall”, a seven-minute-short, Hendrixesque take on Arcangelo Corelli's “La Folia” – and “Unlaced”, an arpeggio-ed frenzy that was originally paired with a stilt-walking and ballet performance by the Crumpets. These two instrumental tracks remained a fixture on four successive tours. And on four successive tours, “Unlaced” was... well... clearly dubbed. 📺 She was holding her e-violin, her hands were playing the notes, but what was coming out of the speakers was indubitably the studio version.
There were possible explanations, of course. Some sound buffs pointed out that “Unlaced” has multiple violin layers, and that a live violin solo would have sounded harsh and unbalanced over the supporting tracks 🔍 – but then, why pick an unplayable song as a staple of the show?
The violin-miming wasn't even very hush-hush, she didn't try that hard to hide it – it was just never addressed or acknowledged. On “Unlaced”, Veronica was usually summoned to “play” the keyboard – and we knew that was make-believe, they had a whole skit about it. 📺 Ditto when EA would play the intro to a song, then get up from the keyboard as she started singing, and the harpsichord track just kept going. It was part of the theatrics, the suspension of disbelief; live playing just wasn't the focus.
Still, because playing two songs should have been in her wheelhouse, EA's choice to stand on stage and mime along with her own world-class violin skills was puzzling. We knew EA was capable of playing “Unlaced”: “Face the Wall” was proof enough that she could still shred like nobody's business, and some lucky fans got to hear her nerd out about pitch standards and rock some Bach at VIP showcases in 2011 (though it was always the same piece, and reportedly not always on point: “she made beginner mistakes, like weird jaw, wrist, elbow placement and tension...” 🐀). And sure, “Face the Wall” was an intense piece, but... it was one of two in the show. The same two, always. She was supposed to be classically trained...!
As EA's fabrications became more common knowledge among the fanbase, people took increasing issue with this odd staging choice – particularly after “Face the Wall” was retired partway through the 2011 tour, leaving only the pantomime, with nothing else happening on stage to distract from it. 📺 People started fixating on her constant and inexplicable tweaking of the truth. Fake name, fake age, fake promises, and now she was fake-fiddling and making a grand show of it? Was she outright mocking her audience, daring them to call her out? Milking a skill she had grown bored with, in the lowest-effort way possible, knowing that goo-goo-eyed fans would still pay to see it? Playing them the world's saddest song on the world's quietest e-violin?
The release of new album Fight Like a Girl in 2012 did little to soothe the Plague Rats' fiddle blues. The violin was much less prominent on FLAG than it had been on Opheliac and Enchant. There were almost no solos, which provided fewer opportunities for playing or miming on stage. “Unlaced” was retired from the touring setlist. One night in Texas during the 2012 tour, due to being on vocal rest, EA played the melody line of “Liar” on the violin. 📺 And that was pretty much the last time world-class violinist Emilie Autumn was heard playing her instrument, on stage or in recording – to the dismay of many fans who had loved her for it.

Can someone please grab this woman by her hand, lead her across her livingroom/bedroom/study, and point at that lonely forgotten dusty violin in a corner of hers so she remembers that she actually owns it? (🐀)

It was yet another bizarre, glaring inconsistency in EA's narrative that fans seemed expected to ignore. Another elephant in the padded room. (Personal anecdote that I don't have a receipt for: in early 2012, when I asked if there was a possibility of EA playing another baroque set for the VIP events on the upcoming tour, her then-manager responded that that wouldn't be possible because venues didn't have the proper acoustics.)
Through some her posts over the years , attentive fans pieced together the likely truth of EA's effective retirement as a violinist. It's actually quite sad, and may cast a different light on EA's artistic shift.
The 2011 tour was initially scheduled for late 2010. It was postponed because EA had been neglecting a jaw injury for years, and needed emergency surgery to avoid “serious and irreversible damage” to her one violin-holding jaw. 📝 She had the surgery early in September; in late November, she performed all over Latin America for six nights straight, and by January, she was back on tour. The same tour during which she made “beginner's mistakes” on the Bach partita, and retired “Face the Wall” for good after a few shows.
She underwent jaw surgery again in 2018, after three years of orthodontic treatment which she said had “prevented [her] from performing”. It was the first anyone was hearing of this (she said she hadn't been touring because she was writing the musical!), and it's as far as EA ever got in terms of half-addressing the obvious: that after dedicating a third of her time on Earth to her craft, after years of pushing through the pain night after night, rushing through recovery periods, and making compromises so the show could go on... she may not be physically able to play concert-level violin anymore.
Once again, something that should (and would) have elicited empathy and support from most fans turned into a point of frustration, speculation and mockery, for years – because EA continued to favor pretend-play and fantasy over the sobering, unglamorous truth. Well, at least everyone's unhappy.

Season 1, Episode 6: The Way Out
Airdate: May 4, 2024
Synopsis: In Tales of the Empire episode 6, years have passed since Barris Offee left the ranks of the Inquisitorius while still taking place during the Dark Times. Known as a healing woman, Barriss aids two parents fleeing the Empire with their Force-sensitive child. Pursued by the Fourth Sister, Barriss faces the Inquisitor once more, though she makes a point to call her by her real name, Lyn Rakish. Buying the family time to escape using nearby ice caves, Offee also attempts to help Lyn find "the way out" from the dark side just as she did.
Hello everyone, this is the discussion thread for StarWars Tales Of The Empire 6. Please do not post any spoilers for future.

My mom passed along this booklet that belonged to my grandmother when we were expecting. Figured I would share it here before discarding it. The Boy Name list is already posted 😊 Enjoy!
WHAT'S IN A NAME
Don't let the meanings concern you. Think instead of how the name will fit the child, when the child is grown, or known. Choose the name with care. It's very important to your baby-all through life. Here are some guides: - Say each name aloud, along with your own family name, to check rhythm and sound. - Use soft first names with sharp-sounding family names. - Use multi-syllable first names with short family names. - Avoid using a first name that ends with the same sound that starts the last name, such as "Jane Nevins." - Avoid "famous combinations" such as "Abraham" and "Lincoln." - Watch out for initials that spell out familiar letters, like “S. O. S”

Hey SC, looking for some wrestling action this weekend? No? Then why are you here. But if you are, I got you covered. As this weekend has just a lot of grappling action, more than you can shake a stick at.
This is a rough guide. If you wanna know more about a show, feel free to drop a comment. If there's something I missed and I know I'll miss something, drop a comment.
All of these shows will be airing somewhere you can watch. IWTV, Wrestle Universe, FOX, YouTube, etc. So if you're curious, just ask.
Anyways, let's begin.
Friday May 3rd

The last stop before Wrestlemania Backlash tomorrow. Not sure of anything happening, but expect last minute pushes towards AJ/Cody and Jade/Bianca and the Kabuki Warriors, among other things.

TNA Under Siege
Matt Hardy teams with Speedball Mike Bailey and Trent Seven to battle The System in the main event.
CMLL Friday Night
I don't know what they call their Friday night show, sorry. I also don't have any information. But I believe they stream on their YouTube channel or somewhere the Friday show.
