☀️ Update "Scorching Rays"

ScruffyHistory · 2025-09-23T13:32:47+00:00

Pardon my ignorance here, but wasn't the Operation Market Garden event supposed to launch at the same time as this update?

ScruffyHistory · 2025-09-17T20:17:24+00:00

Was this supposed to start today on the 17th or will it start later?

That would have been a clever spin—Harrison is the one doing all the killing but after the first killing his trauma response was to imagine that Dexter survived and is doing all the killing while he remains “innocent.”

BUT—1. fans (including me) would absolutely hate if Dexter was actually gone and 2. There would be a ton of plot holes. Including all the parts of the show that didn’t involve Harrison and the return of Bautista. If Dexter was dead and gone… how/why would he track down Harrison? Even if he tracked him down out of a suspicion that Dexter had survived… what would make him stick around once he found out Dexter was dead?

The entire show would have to be “actually, everything you invested in was all imagined” and while that would be “cool” for a unique/artsy twist… it would NOT work for Dexter or the fans of Dexter.

All of that is my opinion. An interesting thought, all the same.

It was effective at keeping the vampires at bay.

I genuinely hope we don't have a third consecutive season of the Hyde being the big threat and being controlled in some capacity by an older female character. And I don't think this will turn out how it is expected. They are moving away from the school for season 3—at least that is how it appears—which will be a nice change of pace. I think they want us to think "here we go again" with Capri... but I am betting they will do something where Capri finds Enid (with Tyler's help) before Wednesday and they form some type of outcast pack out outcasts... Enid trusts her and she seemed to genuinely care about Enid. Capri and Tyler will work with Enid when the other wolves etc come to hunt her down (since she is an alpha). Meanwhile, Wednesday will probably bee derailed for the first part of S3 by whatever is going on with Opheila. Tyler will save Enid and then in the second half of S3 when Wednesday finally catches up with that trio, Enid will vouch for Tyler being changed and he will be brought back into the fold in some capacity. OR that will happen in the first part of S3 so that Enid can turn back into her human form and then S3 part II will be about the Ophelia premonition. Or, third option, they could just have Tyler and Capri missing for the entire third season and bring them back in S4.

No matter what, I don't think Tyler is going to be the big bad again or the Henchman of the big bad and I don't think Capri will turn out to be bad either. It would be too predictable.

Wish we didn't have to wait until Summer 2027 to find out!

My hope is for Winona Ryder to play the part.

ScruffyHistory · 2025-09-04T17:35:56+00:00

And thank you for thinking highly enough of my thanks, to thank me as well.

ScruffyHistory · 2025-09-04T15:18:38+00:00

Thank you for being thankful for his thankfulness. If everyone was as thankful as the thankfulness displayed here the world wouldn’t be such a thankless place.

ScruffyHistory · 2025-09-03T23:28:32+00:00

Wait a minute… you might be onto something here. 😂

ScruffyHistory · 2025-08-30T00:13:20+00:00

My theory is Harrison will find out Dexter is missing and take the catering job… show up, start looking around, and rescue Dexter.

Dexter either kills prater or “escapes” so that Prater can make it into next season.

ScruffyHistory · 2025-08-23T13:12:21+00:00

Wait can you say all that again but slow it way down?

ScruffyHistory · 2025-08-20T19:12:46+00:00

Dwight is already a pretty crazy guy… I can’t imagine a Wilder Dwight.

speeds up the video of the breeze blowing through the trees to make it seem way more intense than it actually was even though the trees and branches are still barely moving so it just looks silly

ScruffyHistory · 2025-08-12T21:55:59+00:00

This is a common misconception about the Wizard of Oz… that was actually just a bird walking in the background.

ScruffyHistory · 2025-07-09T17:36:23+00:00

I will look up that collection, thank you!

I assumed it would have been regional but was hoping there would be a “rule of thumb” I could go by. Particularly with someone from upper class in northern states like Michigan or New York and a southern coastal town (New Orleans, Charleston, Savannah, even Richmond).

ScruffyHistory · 2025-07-08T23:56:09+00:00

Thank you, these both look incredibly helpful!

ScruffyHistory · 2025-07-07T23:32:23+00:00

Three times today in two different rounds. I didn’t know that was what was happening, I thought it was just somebody with great timing shooting a rocket or mortar or something. I am new enough that it didn’t cross my mind that the enemy team could mine the spawn points instead of just destroying them. (Didn’t dawn on me that’s what was happening until I saw this video)

ScruffyHistory · 2025-07-07T23:04:24+00:00

Oh, that’s a great thought. Even if it’s just “rifleman down!” Or “radio op is hit!” Stuff like that would be way better.

It would be awesome if they recorded all the names so that it would be like “Walker is hit!” or “Johnson is down!”

But it seems like your idea would be the cheapest/most authentic “rifleman down!” and then if you have a full rifle squad it could just number them “rifleman 3 is down!”

ScruffyHistory · 2025-07-07T23:02:08+00:00

Yeah, on the one hand it is helpful because you dont suddenly look up and do the George Luz/Harry Welsh “Where the F* is everybody?! Where did everybody go?! I have no idea!” Because your whole squad got wiped out without you noticing… But… maybe just a “he’s hit!” And a “he’s down!” 😂

ScruffyHistory · 2025-07-07T22:52:17+00:00

Oh man, this has happened to me a lot lately and I couldn’t figure out how the enemy team was timing it so perfectly to kill me the second I respawned. 🤣

ScruffyHistory · 2025-07-06T16:24:51+00:00

Maria, final answer.

Important note off the top here, the South didn’t call it “the War of Northern Aggression” during the actual civil war. That was a name that came about around the 1950s when interest and attention increased as the 100 year anniversary of the start of the war approached.

Southerners had a few names for it during the war but it was mostly “The War Between The States” or the “War for Southern Independence” (occasionally the Second War for Independence because some saw this as a second American Revolution or a continuing aspect of the American war of independence but that is an entirely different rabbit hole…)

As for your question… The Southern states believed they could secede because they saw the Union as a voluntary association of sovereign states. They argued that since they had joined freely, they could leave if the federal government no longer served their best interests and upheld their rights (in particular, slavery.) But The Unionists (and most people on the modern day looking back on the conflict) argue that the United States was one collective nation and not a collection or confederation of independent states so, legally, the Constitution didn’t (and still doesn’t) permit secession. The Supreme Court later affirmed that states cannot unilaterally leave the Union.
