okay more on jackson’s senior center based off this post:
- it started as just miss shirley and her best friend darla wanting to live together and asking maria if she could maybe find a house for them to settle in together instead of living apart
- before this, mama shirley and darla would have to walk five houses each way to see each other for afternoon tea, which just won’t do. mama shirley is 92 and darla is 90 now, and both of them are too old to be have to walking that much everyday, mama shirley tells maria. she quickly and vehemently agrees
- maria has the idea of fixing a house up for jackson’s senior citizens to live in if they’d like to. it takes a lot of unnecessary convincing to get the council to dedicate one of jackson’s best houses to a maximum of five people, but maria gets it done. they pick one of the few houses that are placed in the farther back part of jackson, near the farm and the daycare center, so that it can be far-reaching from the entrance of jackson
- the first people to movie in are shirley and darla, who share a room on the second floor (thanks to tommy replacing the stairs in the house with a reliable ramp with a wall-attached handlebar)
- gary moves in not long after he breaks his left hip while herding the goats. he likes that the house is designed to be wheel-chair access and far away from most people in town. he also likes it because he can be close to darla, who he has feelings for, but nobody knows about that except for tommy and joel
- mr. wilson moves in on maria’s insistence that he’ll get hurt if he continues to live alone and try to do everything himself. his name is harold, but he insists that anyone younger than him calls him mr. wilson on account of maintaining a respectful distance. he’s a grumpy, gruff old asshole that reminds joel more of bill than bill himself, but he’s also known to do anything and everything maria tells him with only a small amount of grumbling. somehow, she convinces him to move in after he accidentally sets his kitchen on fire trying to make himself a pocketknife (which?????? maria still doesn’t have an answer for????? why harold was trying to do that????)
- last but not least is sandra dee, jackson’s oldest and most enigmatic member. nobody really knows where she came from or what her story is: she’s the only one of jackson’s seniors that managed to get to town on her own, arriving to town at 94 about a year after its founding with nothing but a backpack and three handguns. she clamed to be sandra, but they’re not entirely sure if sandra dee is her real name. she hums songs from musicals all the time and has expressed that grease was always her favorite. at least once a month she requests to go hunting with patrol and gets mad when maria tells her no
- senior center tea: shirley and darla have longstanding beef with sandra dee because she always cheats at cards during game night, shirley knows about gary being sweet on darla but is lowkey jealous about it because SHE is sweet on darla, and everyone thinks mr. wilson has a thing for maria but he actually told her in confidence last month that he is actually sweet on gary. mama shirley and mr. wilson can’t STAND each other
- tommy calls the seniors the jackson five. all of them call him thomas. he and joel bring them all basic living supplies at least once a week, but are known to be around there pretty often
tsym for anyone having interest in this pls feel free to add anything u want!!

@inseparableduo said: 'let me take care of you' (Darla to Daniel)
send 'let me take care of you' for my muse's reaction.
"ACHOO!" Daniel would sneeze as it turns out he has come down with a cold. He had invited Darla over to his apartment to hang out...only for the poor young man to start wheezing and coughing. He would end up in bed and weakly looking over at Darla.
"N-No I'll be f-fine if I rest. I don't want you to risk getting sick." He would say, trying to get her to leave him. He did not want to get her sick either!

IATSE's Area Standards Locals Pen Joint Letter as ASA Negotiations with AMPTP Begin:
Dear members, Today, the 23 Area Standards Agreement (ASA) Locals begin negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) in Los Angeles, with the ASA Bargaining Committee presenting an initial package of members' demands.
For nearly a year, we have surveyed and listened to you, our members, and worked with our Local bargaining committees to define your priorities.
Partnering with the International bargaining team, we've crafted formal proposals that reflect your feedback.
Over the next two weeks, our goal is to enhance the working conditions and economic standards of every member working under the Area Standards Agreement.
Our proposals include:
- Significant wage increases
- Uniform benefit rate for all jurisdictions with significant increases
- Protections against AI
- Improving rest periods and increasing penalties
- Overtime improvements
- Additional holidays
- Revising and/or eliminating specific sideletters
- Sick leave enhancements.
- Improved safety and specialized work provisions
Our goal is to build on the foundation we started three years ago by continuing to improve working conditions in the ASA.
We are committed to securing substantial contributions into the National Benefit Funds to replenish the fund's reserves and your individual CAPP accounts to pay for your health insurance. We are also deeply aware of our members' desire to improve annuity and pension contributions to help secure your future retirement.
Together, we are stronger. We remain united and committed to securing a tentative agreement that all 23 Locals will be pleased to ratify. We will continue to keep you updated throughout this process.

“Had he lived, I’m certain Frank Bartlett would be a household name today. And I don’t mean because of the Bartlett Trading Company. His earlier drawings and paintings are impressive, but those he completed in four short days on the Titanic… you can tell he found his muse.”
— Darla Evans, museum curator, 2024
What was Frank Bartlett on that got him to finish 56 drawings and 3 paintings in like 4 fucking days? Because my art final is due Tuesday and all I have is a blank canvas. S.O.S.! Send help!!!
— @Jake7399, Twitter user, 2015
Mr. Bartlett had a pleasant demeanor, kept a tidy room, and was an excellent tipper. His art was so stunning I couldn’t let it go down with the ship. Bill was a bit of an asshole. But he played piano beautifully and made sure I made it to a lifeboat. I owe him.
— Ellie Williams, survivor of the sinking of the Titanic, 1914
Anywhere from 1.2% to 6.8% of the population identifies as LGBTQ+, depending on which survey you want to believe, so there must have been like 24 - 136 queer people on the Titanic. (But maybe check my math.)
— 2-young-2-feel-this-old, Tumblr user, 2078
Much is known of Frank Bartlett. We have the family photographs the Bartletts took each summer at their estate. We have his school records. We are incredibly fortunate to have all of his art and journals, including those he worked on while aboard the Titanic.
The same cannot be said for Bill Offerman.
According to Joel Miller, a man who worked alongside him for six years on various ships, Bill was quiet, private, intelligent, and a hard worker.
“He was a good man.”
When pressed for additional information, he simply added, “And a good boss.”
At the beginning of the year Rosemary lost her life to s*c1de
After the incident Henry opened a new restaurant trying to keep their dream alive but William seemed hollow as did his son Michael
Henry started trying to help both William and Michael
But while Michael and Henry were talking at the restaurant the went outside looking for Charlie and well
She was found dead outside next to the puppet animatronic
Dead at 14
This completely shattered Henry and Michael
Henry in his grief started planning to undo this
Unfortunately in his grief and Madness, Darla leaves him and the court takes Sammy away
William was satisfied that he made henry feel what he did but hungry, bloodlust leaking into his head
This is where the Fazbear Missing Childrens Incident began
William lured five kids into the back room wearing his springbonnie suit and murder each one slowly and maliciously
At the time Henry started his construction of his s*cid3 bot and tried to put it to use
But fortunately Michael found Henry in time and Henry survived
So Henry decided to try again but a different angle
He wanted to see Charlie again, It's just what seems fit
While this happened Andrew found the dead kids in the suits and William couldn't have that
Due to another missing child the police searched the premises and found evidence of Williams involvement
all of a sudden William Afton disappeared and some prick named Dave Miller showed up
At this time Michael found a note in a secret room talking about Elizabeth being in circus baby
Meanwhile Henry started working on making artificial life
He didn't want to fuck up charlie so he made a Guinea pig child first named Kelsey
He gave it blonde hair and- oh fuck it ran off but Henry learned a lot from this
Meanwhile there's a new cryptid in town dubbed the corpse man of hurricane
Michael was not have a good time and even worse he wasn't drop dead gorgeous anymore
Henry eventually finished the last two charlie bots
But while he was grocery shopping or some shit Dave snuck in to his house and stole one of the Charlie bots to see how it worked
Anyway since Michael kinda freed Elizabeth some of her remnant strayed into the Charlie bot which scared the shit out of William but nevertheless progress
Anyway actual Charlie/the puppet was roaming the city because freddys shut down and Henry saw it and thought
"Shit I should fix that"
Anyway a Hurricane hit Hurricane (I couldn't think of any other reason for henrys abandon house in the novels)
While Henry moved into his new house Charlie bot met Detective Burke and started looking into the missing children incident
But for some reason mr burke doesn't believe Charlie is Charlie but she'll put that aside for now
Also Michael finally got a part time job watching a destroyed freddys

“Excuse me but, this is my boyfriend.” Darla would slam her hand down on the table and moved to be in between Daniel and the girl hitting on him. “So back off now before I make you regret it.” She would say as she glared at the stranger. When they finally walked off with a scoff Darla would just sigh. “I’m sorry about that. You just seemed really uncomfortable. I hope you don’t mind.” Her voice had quickly gone back to its softer tone and her face was a slight pink.
Uh oh! Your character is watching mine get hit on and is feeling possessive. How does your character handle this?
The young man grew flustered by Darla's actions. He was not expecting this! though it did make his heart race a little bit. He had been a bit uncomfortable with the flirting earlier but he did not seem to mind this.
"Y-You have a good head on your s-shoulders umm...thank you for the save Darla, that means a lot to me..."
The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, December 17th
DARLA: (indicating Liam, brawling at a tavern) Who is *he*?
MAID: Who, that one?
(Angel takes a drink from his mug of ale and goes back to fighting.)
DARLA: Yes. He's magnificent.
MAID: (sarcastic) Oh, yeah, God's gift, alright.
DARLA: Really? I've never known God to be so generous.
MAID: Oh, his lies sound pretty when the stars are out. But he forgets every promise he's made when the sun comes up again.
DARLA: That wouldn't really be a problem for me actually.
