  • Subjugation IV
    Subjugation 4 Tribulation by Fel (aka James Galloway) ToC 1 To: Title ToC 2 Chapter 1 Koira, 18 Toraa, 4401, Orthodox Calendar Wednesday, 28 January 2014, Terran Standard Calendar Koira, 18 Toraa, year 1327 of the 97th Generation, Karinne Historical Reference Calendar Foxwood East, Karsa, Karis Amber was starting to make a nuisance of herself. There was just something intrinsically, fundamentally wrong about an insufferably cute animal that was smart enough to know that it was insufferably cute, and therefore exploited that insufferable cuteness with almost ruthless impunity. In the 18 days since she’d arrived in their house, she’d quickly learned that she could do virtually anything and get away with it, because she was, quite literally, too cute to punish. Fortunately, thus far she had yet to attempt anything truly criminal, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t abuse her cuteness. One of the ways she was abusing it was just what she was doing now, licking his ear when he was trying to sleep. Her tiny little tongue was surprisingly hot, and it startled him awake. “Amber!” he grunted incoherently. “I’m trying to sleep!” She gave one of her little squeaking yips, not quite a bark but somewhat similar to it, and jumped up onto his shoulder. She didn’t even weigh three pounds, she was so small, but her little claws were like needles as they kneaded into his shoulder. He groaned in frustration and swatted lightly in her general direction, but the little bundle of fur was not impressed by his attempts to shoo her away.

    The Artemis Women in Action Film Festival 2018 Welcome to The Artemis Women in Action Film Festival! Our team is incredibly proud to offer the fourth edition of a singular and very special event - one dedicated to female action and empowerment heroes. This has been one truly groundbreaking year: We've seen a female superhero shatter records at the box office, the first women join the elite Rangers in the US Army, women speaking out about pressing issues, and so much more. An incredible year to be sure. The festival continues to grow – this year we received more submissions, have more screens and additional panel discussions, and just generally more kick-ass women. If you love movies, we have a great weekend for you! Our festival this year includes a stellar array of over 75 films: Shorts and feature length films, fiction and documentaries, all covering a huge variety of subjects and genres, and all focusing on powerful women. Some use their fists while others use their minds to make the world a better place, and then they use all their resources to execute those strategies turning dreams into reality. The Artemis Awards Gala continues the tradition of recognizing the great talents that continue to revolutionize the female action genre: Michelle Rodriguez, Ming-Na Wen, Rosemary Rodriguez, TJ Scott, Dana DeLorenzo, Debbie Evans, Alicia Vela-Bailey, Kachina Dechert, Danielle Burgio, Heidi Pascoe, and Cassandra Ebner. They are badasses behind the screen and on it, warriors and heroes proving that women can do anything. Our enormous gratitude to the dedicated people who make this festival possible.

Keywords: hero, archetypes, hero’s journey, kick-ass film 1. INTRODUCTION A hero is someone who acts bravely out of concern for others even at their own personal risk. They are willing to sacrifice everything without getting a reward. This is the kind of hero that we need. To be a figure that important in this world we live in. To stand up and fights for the right things. It can be argued that the action or behavior ultimately stands as heroic or not in the absence of any social milieu (Howerth 1935; cited in Franco, Blau, & Zimbardo, 2011).
