{At heart Wilson is truly a man of science. It's not in his nature to resist the call of the unknown...}

-

You side-eye the man a few steps away from the log you sat on, watching him eagerly re-reading through his blueprints on the makeshift table the two of you made, claiming it as a work desk.

You couldn't help but let your lips curl up at his fidgeting. Finding it oddly cute and rather funny when you notice him mumble a few words here or there. His face having a certain pink glow.. Myabe due to the lightning of the fire.

Glancing back at the small fire, the chopped bits of meat turn a darker color as you turn the skewers so the other side could crisp up.

You couldn't help but recall the few times he acted like this in front of you...

-

During your first meeting, the two of you were more different than... Well, many things!

Clothes for one! While you are dressed in more contemporary wear and fabrics. His was more, dignified, well.. As much as cloths could be in The Constance.

Wilson, ever the gentleman, glances away as you walk beside him. Clothes riding up slightly against your skin, heaving slightly as you drag back your kills together.

You try to strike up conversation and gain his attention, yet his milky-skin becomes a light pink as you do.

The way he spoke, too!

"My dear, are you alright?" You blink, the first time you've been called such a pet-name.

"Huh-? Oh, I'm fine! Don't sweat it!" You wave it off, a bit surprised at the warmth in your own face as you laugh it away.

""Sweat it"? Dearie, I thought we both concluded that the weather is rather too cold for such things."

He was an oddball, but.. You liked him all the same.

-

While you day-dreamed, Wilson peeked at your expression. Enamored by the sight of your far-away gaze, he tried to see if anything caught your eye. Though he couldn't find a single thing, what kind of lovely thought a beauty like you could have?

A small sigh left him as he turned back to his blueprints.

-

Meeting you was one of the strangest and most wonderful encounters he's had since being stuck on the wretched island.

You were quite.. What's the word.. Rather, many words could describe you! Or, actions spoke a bit louder to him.

During the winter season, more so Winters Feast. Wilson sat by the fire, shivering as he made a thermal stone. You and Chester arrive back to camp, you frown as you take a spot beside him.

His eyes held agitation, not bothering to wander his sights on your pitying look.

Kind could be one.. Maybe well-meaning.

You politely take a seat beside him, not too close as Chester happily barked and opened his jaw.

You pull out a few items, cautiously setting a small scarf down on his lap. "I know you don't prefer hats... So I thought this might be more.. um.. Ya' know? "Suitable"?" You test out the phrase on your tongue, smiling hopefully.

You were.. Unknown to him. Such as this daft place, his fate had now been resigned too!

Though.. You made grand company.

Helping him pick up crops, you sang a small tune under your breath. Bits of giggles leaving your throat at a few lyrics. A bit curious of the song, he spoke up.

Questions and inquiries left him as he rambled.

You only smiled, head tilting to the side a few times in confusion at a few proposals he had on the song.

"That's lot-" You huff out a laugh, Wilson could only smile back patiently. Waiting politely now, wanting to listen. You playfully bump his side, "Alright, I'll tell you."

-

You blink away your former thoughts after smelling the scent of something burning...

..!

Yelping, you grab the skewers. But it burns your hands! Causing you to drop them in the fire...

You groan unhappily, now staring at a worried Wilson as he moves to your side.

"Dear, it's alright, we're lucky to have made a few extra rations." Wilson states as he takes a seat, politely holding out his hand for you.

You slowly grin, nodding as you hand him your hand. Interlacing them together. The scientists eyes widen as he coughs awkwardly, glancing away. "I.. Wanted to see if you burned your hand."

Your own eyes widen as you let go quickly.

"I'm fine! See? Oh..." You glance at your hand and see a small cut.

Wilson gently takes your hand, encompassing it tenderly in his palms.

"A butterflies wing should fix it up." Wilson states, fixated on your hand. Lightly tracing it, the touch was kinda soothing...

Chester yips happily, bumping your leg as he opens his jaw. Wilson smiles happily at the chest, "Otto von Chesterfield, Esquire! You smart little lad!" Taking the items from the small critter, Wilson hands it to you as he pets the creature fondly.

The two of you laugh together as the sun slowly sets, the fire burning even brighter.

-

[Happy 11th Anniversary DS/DST! I had a big crush on Wilson when I was younger, so this needed to be made! Anyway, hearts and reblogs are appreciated! Let's see some comments too! Happy birthday Wilson!]

It’ll be interesting to see if Augustus ends up somehow being the actual voice of Jonah Magnus

and if the voices of Norris, Chester, and Augustus read cases that are like.. contemporary to them? Kinda? I dunno. Too early to tell really, but fun to speculate.

[mariacallous]

There’s a nasty not-so-secret secret no one likes to talk about, so it’s best to start there: Black women are among the most hated demographic worldwide. In America especially, anti-Blackness is the air. It’s everywhere even when you can’t see it. From the ivory halls of Washington to C-suites at Fortune 500 companies, Blackness is treated as less than. And because that is how it works and how it has worked generation after generation, not even Beyoncé, currently the most commanding force in music, can escape the fangs of misogynoir.

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: A Black woman was told she did not belong, that she was not welcome in a certain space, so she paved a path all her own. That’s the story Beyoncé recounted in an Instagram post in March, the day she announced her new country album, Cowboy Carter. “The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me,” she wrote. Unlike other musical genres, country is infamous in who it chooses to exclude. The genre’s history is rife with allegiances to the old ways of American prejudice, and no bearing or social position can change that.

The sweet irony, of course, is that now we have Cowboy Carter, the second installment in a three-act project of historical and musical restoration that Beyoncé began in 2022 with Renaissance, her dance-floor tribute to house music. She is on a mission to reclaim her time. The rare artist who can pull off such a canny move, Beyoncé now represents something bigger than music. She’s an industry unto herself: swaggering and audacious in reach, with a built-in fan base that anticipates every album drop, Instagram post, and product release. Whether you agree with the motivations behind her work or not (and there are valid criticisms to be made for artists who create at such a grand scale as her; mass influence in all arenas of life necessitates questioning, there’s no denying that), no other contemporary Black musician will bring more awareness to country’s gated meadowlands—its past, present, and possible futures—than Beyoncé. If nothing else, she gets people talking.

“I’d like to actually thank the CMAs for pissing her off,” X user @gardenoutro wrote Friday morning, just past midnight, in the hour following the album’s official release, calling attention to Beyoncé’s 2016 performance with the Chicks that was later shunned by Country Music Association members. Where Lemonade was scorned memoir and Renaissance flirted with fantasy—a disco-lit dreamscape where freedom and love have no inverse—Cowboy Carter unravels like autofiction, blending biography with novelistic flair on songs like “Daughter” and “Spaghettii.” It takes country into uncharted terrain. “It’s easy to listen to 27 tracks when they’re all good,” songwriter Rob Milton wrote on X.

That’s the other thing about the Beyoncé Effect: There is no room for dissent in her universe. Online, and particularly across social media, new albums of hers are given billboard status. It is cause for celebration but rarely one for challenge or sharp inquiry.

“A lot of people still want to join in with something larger than themselves. Fandom offers them a way to do that. It is not, though, entirely a utopian space,” says Mark Duffett, a professor at the University of Chester who researches fandom. “The concerns and issues that society has are mirrored in fan communities. They do not escape from being part of the wider social world.”

As powerful as her music can be, the release of a Beyoncé album exposes the fiction of a shared internet. There is not one but many. In its most intense form, fan logic thrives in isolation. On Beyoncé’s internet, as with comparable fan cultures, logic finds comfort in the sideways geometry of the echo chamber. Its reasoning animorphs into blind zealotry, wagging its finger in the face of disagreement. Fan logic butts against balanced judgment. It has led Barbs (Nicki Minaj fans), Beliebers (Justin Bieber fans), Hive members (Beyoncé fans), and the like into a cycle of heated confrontation, and sometimes wild irrationality.

Brittany Luse wasn't expecting death threats when she commented about a Cowboy Carter ad that was projected onto the front of the Guggenheim Museum, but she also knew “the Hive can be so intense in their defense of any criticism of Beyoncé, let alone any perceived slight. So I wasn't expecting nothing to happen.” Luse is the host of NPR’s pop culture podcast It’s Been a Minute and a fan of the singer. “I maintain a pretty low-key presence online, so over the years, I’ve only dealt with wild social media attacks a handful of times, with the Swifties or the manosphere, but never death threats. They probably should have stressed me out, but they mostly just confounded me. I said I didn’t like an ad, and now you want me to choke? That’s too much.”

That, more than anything, is the tenor of fandom on the internet today: Perceived disloyalty is met with Tony Soprano–style intimidation. The rise and permanence of social media has led, in part, to the decomposition of fan culture. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram brought us closer together. Platforms that prized connection boosted the careers of artists from burgeoning to box office stars. But it had costs, Luse says. Instant access to celebrities rewired our relationships entirely.

“You can find seemingly endless content from your fave and befriend other fans more easily than ever before. Of course that would bring people joy,” she says. “But that constant, instant access also at least partially fuels an us-against-them mindset that puts some people into attack mode over their favorite artist.”

But perhaps the problem is not that such intense fandoms exist, but where they take root and make a home. “Another thing that has happened is that fans might be talking on social media to each other in ways that they do not necessarily anticipate nonfans will seek out or understand,” Duffett says. “It raises the question of whether a community can keep to itself and yet communicate in a public space.”

Beyoncé represents a monoculture at a moment when monocultures have gone all but extinct. For her, extreme fandom is both anchor and ascendence. There are downsides, unquestionably so, but the people who power Beyoncé’s platform provide a necessary function too: When the door has been slammed in her face and she’s told she’s not welcome inside, or when the Recording Academy twice overlooks her for Album of the Year, it is her fans who give her the authority to reboot country music in her image, and perhaps, in doing so, chart a new course altogether. “It would be cool if she never mentioned the Grammys again,” Luse said on X. “When you can do all this, who cares?”

TRIGGER WARNINGS: BULLYING, HOMOPHOBIA BRIEFLY MENTIONED, DRUG DEALING, LAW ENFORCEMENT MENTIONED

BACKGROUND:

born in everglades city, florida, to a large family of charismatic and unique individuals, soledad was encouraged to always be themselves; as if they would deem it okay to be anyone else.

they have tons of cousins as their father was the fifth child of seven in total, with most of the family having immigrated from mexico to the us before soledad and their older brother were born. her mothers side of the family wasn't as large, but no less loving and encouraging to sole as she grew up. they originated from puetro rico where soledad and their family often visited their estate during the summer not spent in mexico with the the other half of her family.

whilst the family was insanely large, soledad grew up in a place that only had around 300-400 people in the entire city, which was a wake up call for the individual always encouraged to be themselves. soledad was often bullied for their gender-identity, their expression of wearing mostly all-black clothing, and their sexuality. they hid none of these things even through the bullying, which seemed to encourage some people and make things worse off for them.

when soledad was sixteen, they and their friend group at the time, a bunch of ruffian boys and a girl or two, took to selling drugs. they were the outcasts of the very small high school that they attended but once word got around that soledad could get what they needed for parties, soledad was suddenly thrust to the top of the social pyramid. it was an insane shift in their dynamic as a student at evergaldes city school, but it never really got to them; they knew the attention was fake, and only because they had access to something that people wanted.

soledad got into some trouble close to graduation when one of the people they had sold to ratted them out; they were arrested and charged with a misdemeanor - their first and only one. they stopped selling after this, but the damage was done; they had lost the scholarship that they had worked so hard for in high school, and their parents couldn't afford to send them to school. soledad had hoped to study contemporary literature - always a fan of getting lost in books - and creative writing, but the dreams were dashed.

however, the run in with the law had both woken them up and inspired them to take up writing more seriously. they stayed around everglades for the time whilst they worked on their book and, when the first installment of the western sapphic "trailblazer" went viral, it completely changed their lives when it was published.

the book had done so well that soledad was signed on to write two more after the first, and they threw themselves into writing the books. but word had gotten out about soledad writing a sapphic bestseller and people in town weren't exactly kind to it in everglades city so soledad left with only a glance behind them at their parents and brother.

they settled in palmview, and have been writing the second installment to their sapphic series for about a year now.

HEADCANONS:

is singularly focused when they need to be, though they've been known to have bad days where the concentration is just not there and they're burnt out from writing.

plays the cello because they've always liked the deep sound of the instrument.

loves animals, has a black cat named ripley - after ellen ripley from alien - who they found in an alleyway, abandoned and begging for food.

sneaks a cigarette now and then when they're particularly stressed out

prefers night to morning, and will be so cranky when awoken early. they often spent their nights out and about in town, down at the beach, or just hanging out in their room. they've been known to pull all-nighters when the writing streak is so harsh they can't put it away for sleep.

is a hopeless romantic, but will be so cross with you if you ever say anything about it. they don't tend to wear their hearts on their sleeve, and instead prefer to play things 'cool' and 'chill.'

was in love with someone recently - or thought that they were. it's complicated, and a wanted connection! their trust doesn't come easy. after years of bullying, and this recent connection, they've been rather withdrawn towards any romantic pursuits or the idea of making new friends, which is kind of unlike them.

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

older brother (wc). these two are super close and were raised in a very large family - as stated above - where everyone relied on each other. soledad is thankful for their brother, though they may have had a falling out if he had achieved going to college and they did not. jealousy struck them, but they realized their mistakes and now these two are the best of friends. likely their brother is protective over them, as they are with him.

cousins. plenty of them to go around as sole's dad is the fifth child out of seven! the family is truly huge and opens doors for a lot of different types of relationships!

friends. soledad is someone unique, and they're also rather brazen and outspoken. not many people happen to like that outspokenness when its turned towards them, though they never mean it in a malicious way and only intend to help their friends. its possible sole has bumped heads with a few people in the past on this so their friendships might be in various stages of disarray depending on the connection. otherwise, i'm good with them being good friends with your muse if we deem them to get along!

enemies. remember that thing i said about sole speaking brazenly and being outspoken? well, sometimes, they can be a little too outspoken and cause rifts with different people in town. its not their intention... usually, anyways, but it happens more than they're willing to admit. they don't particularly care if someone takes their words the wrong way - or even the right way if they're being particularly stubborn on a point they want to make. soledad is blunt and to the point a lot of the time, so its possible they've made enemies.

flings, one night stands. when soledad got into palmview, they had a time making a name for themselves by flirting with anyone they might have deemed pretty or good-looking. soledad is blunt and to the point, remember, so they wouldn't have made their intentions slyly or coyly, probably. it would've been blunt and in your characters face, most definitely. its also possible that one of these one night stands turned into something else for sole - maybe a friendship or even something deeper. they have a problem with attachment.

an ex something or another (wc). these two were doomed from the start. originally, your character was interested in someone soledad was very close to - a friend, though people mistook them for a couple plenty of times. and the original relationship between your character and mine was strained due to the closeness that sole and the other character shared. so they butted heads. a lot. but then that butting of heads turned into something far more interesting for sole - infatuation at your characters intelligence, and inspiration at the potential coupling of minds. but this never happened… your character got together with sole’s friend instead and left sole in the dust, which hurt sole deeply. whether that relationship remains or not, is up to you. it could be that they were using sole in a way, manipulating them to get something they wanted, or it could be there was genuine feelings there and for some reason things just took a different turn. whatever it is, we can certainly explore it!

What I would sometimes do back then was write against the mood of Hal's lyrics. The melody I came up with for "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" is bright and rhythmic, so you might think the song is happy, but it's about someone going back to San Jose after having blown a chance at becoming a star, and is not a happy song by any means.

- Burt Bacharach on his musical partnership with Hal Davis

"Do You Know the Way to San Jose" (1968) became Dionne Warwick's biggest international hit reaching the top 10 in both Canada and the U.K. It was her third consecutive top 10 hit at home in the U.S. "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" crossed over from pop into both the adult contemporary and R&B singles charts. Engineer Ed Smith created the distinctive introduction to the recording by attaching a microphone directly to the head of a bass drum played by Gary Chester.

Lyricist Hal David wrote the words based on his particular affection for the city of San Jose, California. He was stationed there while serving in the US Navy. Dionne Warwick was not a fan of "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" and needed convincing to record it. She said, "It's a dumb song, and I didn't want to sing it." The song earned her a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Despite the success of the recording, she refused to change her opinion of the song.

Hana Carolina Writing Masterpost

Welcome to my page!

Here's a list of my published stories so far (all available for free):

I wrote this at 19 in Polish, then translated and revised it in my 30s - so proud that this became my first ever publication!

Set in Lodz, Poland, in the 1990s, it's a creepy horror story exploring the atmosphere of a crumbling post-industrial city and the feeling of entrapment it creates. People are as neglected as the stray cats turned nightmarish monsters. Then again, are these creatures even real? Perhaps it's all in your head, there's no threat, and you're making a fuss for no good reason.

Published in Crow & Cross Keys in April 2022, chosen by wonderful and talented Elou Carroll (@keychild on Twitter) - check out her writing too if you have a chance!

Once Chance in a Million

The end of 2022 was a busy time for me so I started writing very short stories - this one is just 100 words long. This Sci-fi micro about a faulty AI-generated report, was written right before discussions about AI started in earnest. Set at a hospital, and intended as satire, feels a little less fun now.

Published in Everyday Fiction in November 2022, it was my first paid publication (whole $3), and an a gateway to a big, established audience - this journal has existed since 2007 and has a lot of subscribers. However, their page appears to be down.

We Aced Colonisation

Another 100-word Sci-Fi story, this time about aliens invading the Earth. It was a bit of an experiment - I played with language a bit, trying to write as an alien would, if they've just learnt English.

Published in Issue 3 of The 100 Word Project in February 2023, it got such a warm and supportive welcome from Jay Chesters, the Editor and Designer. You can find the issue here. It's all free to read.

Winter Blooming Daphne

Daphne Odora is a poisonous shrub, which finds its way to many gardens because of its sweet smell and beautiful flowers. My first published flash fiction was inspired by this plant - I used it to explore the two understandings of death, one symbolised by the cold and impersonal city, where any thoughts about dying are repressed, and the country, where death exists as a part of everyday life.

Published in Five on the Fifth in May 2023, it felt extra special, because I had no success with literary journals before I wrote this. I've submitted Daphne to many publishers and felt like I finally found the right system - submit until you drop. You can find the story here.

My latest publication is a horror story again - the theme is being trapped between ambition and tradition. I was thinking about a twist on a haunted house story and decided that what I have in mind, instead, is a haunted home. This is my first story with a LGBTQ+ main character, and an exercise in compact storytelling - you can trust me that there's a lot squeezed into those 2000 words!

Published by the Chamber Magazine in July 2023, it's my first story which got accepted twice (a shock, considering how these things usually go), because my withdrawal email got lost. What a feeling to receive an acceptance on a publishing day! Here's the story.

Thank you for reading! You can also find me on Twitter.

Y'know, you should be watching Hollyoaks. - Why is Hollyoaks overhated?

Why is Hollyoaks overhated? The question lingers in the air like an unsolved mystery, as viewers across the globe overlook the hidden gem of the soap-opera world. With its vibrant characters, relentless plot twists, and unabashed commitment to delivering entertainment at warp speed, Hollyoaks has carved its own rebellious path amidst the sea of soaps. Yet, it remains unjustly overshadowed by its bigger, more established counterparts. In this article, we embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind Hollyoaks' perpetual underdog status, and why, against all odds, it just might be the best damn soap-opera out there. Buckle up, skeptics, as we delve into a world where melodrama reigns supreme and where Hollyoaks shines as a beacon of unapologetic brilliance.

Oh, Hollyoaks, the pint-sized powerhouse of the soap opera world. Born in 1995, it emerged as the fresh-faced rebel of the soap world, determined to shake up the status quo. Set in the fictional village of Chester, Hollyoaks captivated audiences with its youthful energy and boundary-pushing storylines. Over the years, it has fearlessly tackled hard-hitting issues, fearlessly delving into the darkness of teenage struggles, mental health, and societal taboos. Nowadays, however, prepare to be dazzled and left gasping for breath as you enter the whirlwind of drama, intrigue, and hair-raising plot twists that is Hollyoaks. This isn't your grandmother's slow-burning, snail-paced soap opera, don't you remember EastEnders last Christmas day? No, this is a turbocharged thrill ride that leaves you wondering if the writers have secretly taken up residence in your brain.

Unlike its contemporaries, Hollyoaks operates on a different frequency altogether. It's as if someone turned up the dial to maximum intensity and injected every episode with a potent dose of adrenaline. Gone are the days of dragging storylines that take months to unfold. Instead, Hollyoaks sweeps you off your feet, tossing you headfirst into a maelstrom of jaw-dropping events. Most storylines lasting the full week, with intense and ACTUAL gangster characters.

... but... If you don't like the drama and intense fights and hardcore, psycho storylines with villains, there's plenty of relaxing, light-hearted and overall happy moments. Ste's wedding with James made me cry. Hell, alot of the times I cried. I really lost myself in the world of this show. It's amazing.

What makes Hollyoaks truly stand out from the crowd is its knack for condensing an incredible amount of drama into each episode. It's like they've taken a full-length soap opera and distilled it down to its most potent essence. This means you get a concentrated burst of explosive storylines, simmering tensions, and electrifying confrontations, all neatly packaged and served up within a mere 22 minutes. It's like soap opera adrenaline on steroids. Dose me up!

And boy, does Hollyoaks know how to keep you on the edge of your seat. Blink, and you might miss a crucial revelation, a shocking affair, or Hollyoaks bad boy Warren Fox suddenly kidnapping a police-officer to threaten another man. The breakneck pace leaves no room for dull and boring filler or tedious scenes. It's like the writers have made a pact with the devil to ensure that every second is packed with enough excitement to make your heart palpitate and your jaw hit the floor.

Warren Fox waving, Hollyoaks resident - Professional Gangster - Established and Matthew-verified DILF

But it's not just the breakneck speed that sets Hollyoaks apart; it's the sheer entertainment value. This is a soap opera that knows how to have fun. Sure, there's plenty of angst, heartbreak, and dark secrets lurking in the shadows, but it's all tempered with a healthy dose of wit and irreverence. Hollyoaks doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's precisely why it's so darn enjoyable. It's like a rollercoaster ride with unexpected twists and turns, where you can't help but throw your hands in the air and let out a gleeful scream. So, if you're tired of soaps that move at the pace of a snail on tranquilizers, buckle up and dive headfirst into the electrifying world of Hollyoaks. Be prepared for a condensed, breakneck journey that will leave you breathless and craving more. In the realm of soap operas, Hollyoaks reigns supreme, injecting a shot of pure adrenaline and entertainment directly into your veins. Brace yourself for the most turbocharged, exhilarating 30 minutes of your TV-watching life. I heavily suggest you watch Hollyoaks. It took me a week to pick up the characters. It's easy. You will thank me later.
