Alright everyone here is the big announcement y’all have been waiting for!

I’m officially starting my own Machinima series it’s called

The Strangetown Chronicles!

This series is a photo story telling voice over Machinima series. This won’t be filmed. It’ll be screenshots and voiceover stuff (kinda like a comic? Idk this is something I’m trying)

Anyways, this series takes place in 2024. It’s set in modern times instead of in the early 2000s

The trailer and prologue will come sometime this month hopefully!

Enjoy this promo image I made for the series. Pascal, Buzz, Jace and Buck were taken by me while Bob, Tracie, Susanne, Ava, Ripp and Tank were taken by @simmerprincess17

Another slug of whiskey and you might have missed her, might have been too far gone to notice the quirk of her eyebrow or the gun in her hand. But you did notice and what you got for your trouble was a cocktail of heady romance mingled with bitter regret. In this city, on these streets, beauty comes with a price. The only question left to ask is...

"I'll never forget seeing dangerously gorgeous Ava Gardner. She was having a screaming argument with her date. She looked entrancing and powerful, like a jungle cat fiercely protecting her territory. The Barefoot Contessa! Years later, this image came back to me when I was thinking about how to play Alexis (on Dynasty)."

I don't have a lot to say about Laura in those courthouse scenes that I haven't already said. I do think Laura has been regressed for the purposes of sociopathic mooch having someone powerful in her corner. I do think her refusal to acknowledge Trina is intentional, and I'm curious to see if they're ever going to have Trina comment on Laura's need to disappear her.

But I'd actually rather focus on Trina in those scenes because my eyes were mostly drawn to her and her reactions. I think what I'm enjoying the most about Ava chasing after justice for Trina is that it's basically forcing Trina to be honest with herself about what she actually wants vs. what she thinks she should want.

She tells Ava how she doesn't want demon spawn to lose out on his mother but when Ava pushes back and tells her this tiny sliver of justice is something she needs to really move on, Trina really doesn't fight her on that idea. So what we get from Trina in that courtroom is a girl once again seeing if the system she was raised to believe in, the system that turned on her and almost destroyed her life, would finally come through with some "sliver of justice" like Ava suggested.

What she saw was the system (through Mayor Laura's influence) move quickly to protect the girl who drugged her and weaponized the system against her. By the time sociopathic mooch skates with nothing but probation, Trina is sharing Ava's annoyance and side eye of Molly. But I think it's important to point out the differences in Trina and Ava's reactions. Ava is outraged, and Trina is disappointed but not remotely surprised. She is equal parts fed up with the system and completely unsurprised that sociopathic mooch continues to bend it to her will.

Trina's budding disillusionment paired with Laura and Esme's glee is actually weirdly enough the perfect MLK day episode. I don't know how intentional those optics or social commentary were but they're fitting. Trina got to watch the same Molly who tried to throw the book at her, with a trumped up plea deal, tell Ava that "justice was served" because sociopathic mooch would be spending no jail time.

And the resolution and protection for sociopathic mooch happened so quickly in comparison to the months Trina's fate was left dangling in the wind. Trina and Esme did not face the same justice system at all and I think that parallel was intentional.

I think, considering Trina is rumored to be heading in a gray direction, that she needed this moment of being reminded that this system that she wants to believe in will never be as fair as she wants it to be. It was important for her to sit back and observe it all and observe the way Laura (who is just as representative of the system as Molly at this point) used her influence without hesitation.

Trina blocking sociopathic mooch from her victory lap makes all the sense in the world to me in the aftermath of all of that. She wants and has to reclaim her power in the moment and remind the sociopathic mooch that despite her many wins, she didn't succeed in breaking her.

Trina wanting to play the martyr but ultimately being forced to accept that she's human and not above it all is an ongoing thing for her. Despite herself, Trina is still human and deep down, she wants her pound of flesh after being hurt like everyone else, and I think Ava is going to play an important role in Trina coming to terms with that side of herself.

What happens when the most optimistic person gets burned so much that they stop believing in doing the right thing being enough? I think we might see something like that play out with Trina.

GENERAL HOSPITAL | Jan 4, 2023: “That's all I needed to know.“

Laura tells a shocked Ava that Nikolas is alive!

Your Result:

Kitty Collins

You are sensual and seductive. You enjoy doing wrong and blaming others. Like many other femme fatales, you use men for personal gain. You can also turn up the charm, so it’s easy for you to get what you want.

Ava: When I lost kiki...

Trina: Look it's okay.

Me:

I was misty eyed before I'm probably about to cry now😩

Ava: Thank God for Avery; you know I have Avery and I love her...and I know that she loves me but you know she's just a kid you know and there aren't many people in my life who care about me without no agenda you know and I just feel so lucky to be sitting with one of those people right now.

Me: And this is why I will not be able to emotionally withstand any fall out between Trava. If it ever comes out what went down between her and nikolas before he left the only people who can be mad is Laura and Spencer because sorry to them but Trina is her ride or die. Y'all know how Trina is about the people she loves. She's gonna stick beside them.🤷

And really I can only see Spencer being mad for a hot second before he starts thinking about how nikolas has been out and about for a while and still didn't come home for him or ace. Honestly, Laura really gonna be the only mad ASF.😂 Y'all know how Laura gets when it comes to her children.

Things I'm absolutely sick of, in no particular order:

Portia. Portia talking. Portia existing. just... Portia

Joss & Dex. it's going nowhere. she's being a whiny, entitled brat again and ignoring the family she'd do "anything" for

This road to nowhere with Willow. I don't even care any more. live or die, just pick one and DO it

Nina and Carly. separately or together

Gladys. She's sooooo bad at being crafty

Drew and everyone fawning over him for doing... almost nothing??

Esme in all forms.

Curtis. plz go away. join the WSB and adventure elsewhere

Things I'd rather have:

Kevlaur.

Kevin Collins

Charlotte Cassadine

Ava having an actual plot

Laura having ANY plot that's not about her being mayor or Nik or a grandkid in danger

Cameron Webber

TJ Ashford

Violet. omg my kingdom for some Violet but sans her dad & grandad

Leo Falconeri

Tracy Quartermaine

Avery Corinthos

Trina Robinson being a student, talking about art, without her family drama or just sprina (I like sprina but round her out again)

Nneka getting actual plots

[shyshitter]

after some peer review, here is an updated version.

[flowerbarrel-art]

I found some fun language quizzes while I was using the dictionary. (Collins Dictionary)

It has French, German, Chinese, Spanish and Italian quizzes. I tried French first.

Sometimes you can’t pull the right word into the box for some reason so I goof around (when I somehow do manage to know what a word means).

One of the quizzes is about flowers, and I found “orchid” in French, Italian and German.

Orchid approved.

Also found some buttercups and sunflowers.

Strangers in the Night: A Novel of Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner by Heather Webb #NetGalley #ARCReview #Hollywood

Nothing was hotter for a time than the love affair between #FrankSinatra and #AvaGardner. An upcoming book fictionalizes their affair and I found it pretty spot-on. #StrangersintheNight #Anoveloffranksinatraandavagardner #heatherwebb #netgalley #arcreview

In the golden age of Hollywood, two of the brightest stars would define–and defy–an era… She was the small-town southern beauty transformed into a Hollywood love goddess. He was the legendary crooner whose voice transfixed the world. They were Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra. Separately they were irresistible; together they were an explosive combination. Ava’s star is rising just as Frank’s…
