The wage data also reveals that, rather than delivering progress against poverty, the rise of capitalism was associated with a deterioration in human welfare across Europe.12 Following the peasant and worker rebellions in the 14th century, wages rose high enough to support a family of four above the ‘respectability’ line (i.e., $4.33, represented by a dotted line on Figure 5). But during the long 16th century wages plummeted, particularly in the European periphery, which was de-industrialized and reduced to a raw material supplier for English and Dutch manufacturers (Wallerstein, 1974, Moore, 2010a, Frank, 1978, Watson, 2017). In the core, wages only began to rise above their 15th-century level in the 1880s – around four centuries after the rise of capitalism and 50 years later than the standard narrative suggests. For most of the European periphery, poverty alleviation began later, “indeed, only in the post-World War II boom” (Allen, 2001, p. 435). This trend corresponds with the rise of organized labour and socialist parties across Europe (Pelz, 2016, pp. 83–102; Geary, 1981). As we shall see, progress in Europe has been much more extensive than elsewhere. Flush with surplus extracted from the colonies, European capitalists could respond to the demands of popular movements, and improve working class incomes, without significantly threatening the accumulation of capital (Cope, 2019, Lauesen, 2021).

Meet the OCs - Brothers Apart AU

A summary of original characters that are featured in and originated from AU I've cowritten with @brothersapart's @nightmares06. The original Brothers Apart is a Supernatural g/t AU, and my contributions add in characters from the BBC's Sherlock.

Supernatural belongs to the CW, Sherlock to the BBC, adapted from Arthur Conan Doyle's stories, The Borrowers to Mary Norton, and these OCs to me!

Stan Baker - The Unexpected Good Boi

Stan is playful, selfless, and protective. He cares deeply for others, especially his loved ones and those who cannot easily defend themselves. His combat experience and low-key paranoia give him excellent reflexes, and he's honestly a bit of a g/t nerd who doesn't have the context for that (def one of the most self-insert aspects of him). At the end of the day, he's just a big softie, in the 'looks like a cinnamon roll and is one but will kill you if necessary' way.

Though he wasn't the first OC of mine introduced in the Brothers Consulted story, "A Burglary at Baker Street", Stan stole my heart the second he hit the page. He was meant to be a plot device, never to be seen again, and he decided he deserves to be an actual character. Who was I to argue? I mean, lookit him! Complete and total charmer.

Unlike Zepheera, who is always my emotional support borrower, I can play around with Stan's Situations™️ a lot more freely. Oftentimes he's a human, like in Brothers Consulted. In AU like Brothers Chosen, he's a born and bred borrower. I've even got a size-shifter AU for him!

Mark and Anita Bend - Power Twins

Mark and Anita are twins, and victims of terrible circumstance in Brothers Consulted. Mark is the heart of the pair, trusting and friendly and happy to make friends. His problem is he's not the most tactful, which is where his sister comes in; the self-established more thoughtful and responsible one. Anita is the brains, thinking everything through before acting.

The one thing they share perfectly is a strong devotion to and protectiveness for one another. They would do absolutely anything to keep the other out of danger. A fact that is easily exploited, unfortunately. They're all they've got in a world set against them.

Nathan Sullivan - Stan's Partner

Nate is the yang to Stan's yin. He keeps his excitable partner grounded, and rolls with all the incredible things that happen in their lives. Whether he's a teacher as a human or a curious drifter as a borrower, Nathan always has a deep love of learning and will do what he can to be in an environment where he can keep discovering new things. He's also a passionate home cook, and keeps Stan and their German shepherd Juno very happy at home.

Where there is Stan, there must also be a Nate. Like Stan, I love to play around with Nate's size and background from story to story. So far he's appeared as a human, though I've written one short with him as a borrower, in which he and a young Stan met as kiddos.

Stan's Brothers

Stan Baker is the youngest of five brothers, who basically raised him. They have yet to show up in proper BAU, but they've shown up more often in the size-shifter AU as they help their baby bro in distress.

The oldest, Simon, stepped up to lead the household when their parents were no longer in the picture. He worked hard to make sure his brothers could live the best lives possible, and couldn't be more proud of them all. He's incredibly chill and approaches everything with a calm and clear head. If Simon freaks out, you know it's all gone pear-shaped.

Dylan, the second oldest, holds the most fight in him apart from Stan. His scholastic track leaned towards the athletic, and he has the bigger temper of the bunch, especially when it comes to his loved ones being messed with. He taught his younger brothers how to hold their own in a fight when they were kids, and very nearly joined the British army as an adult before changing his mind.

Seamus Baker is the know-it-all middle child. He mellows out of them with age, but certainly had pedantic tendencies as a kid. Studies were a major aspect of his youth, as well as making sure his brothers were all keeping in some kind of order. He seems humorless compared to his boisterous brothers, but his funny bone is just harder to tickle.

And Levi is the one just older than Stan, a sweetheart who only wants everyone to get along. He's on the chill side of the spectrum, like Simon, but he's got too much energy to keep it up all the time. He's also the most creative of the brothers, and is most likely to end up with a career in the arts.

Ok so I saw your post on the "best brother prank" on tiktok. I have another one on how you think characters would react to...'dpr ian belt dance trend'

I LOVE THAT TREND?????

Okay okay…this is how Charlie, Dylan, Mateo, Leo and Everette would react to the DPR Ian belt dance trend!

Charlie - wide eyed, staring at you with a jaw to the GROUND. Would definitely have to adjust how he was sitting, and blushes as he runs a hand through his hair. “Damn Sweetheart…that was fucking sexy.” He breathes, clearing his throat. “Could ya…do it again? Please?”

Dylan - bro would be SMIRKING, arms crossed as he leans back to check you out. “Fuckin’ ay Bunny..” he growls, running his thumb across his lower lip. “I like seenin’ a belt ‘round your wrists…c’mere.”

Mateo - *computer dial up noise* he’s speechless, his eyes moving to follow every movement you make. “ay dios mío…” he mumbles, turning his face away from you as his face turns bright red. “Please, mi amor. Don’t tease me with your body like that.”

Leo - Leo would be cheering you on, clapping his hands as he grins like a fool. “Hell yeah, baby!” He whistles lowly, beckoning you over “damn, you are somethin’ else! Do it again…without clothes this time.”

Everette - Everette definitely would be too focused on the fact that HE WANTS TO LEARN HOW DO IT TOO. “Okay okay, my turn!” He’ll jump up and eventually just ends up choking himself with the belt. “Fuck, how’d you make it look so effortlessly sexy???”

I love The Relentless but I can't stop wondering how different (better?) the songs would sound if it was Andy and not Remington.

day 40 | adela && miles

@heatwayve​ 

she’s been thinking who to go for all morning. can’t go for josh, obviously, and maybe it’s a good thing as part of her thinks he’d rather throw her across the villa than let anyone see her on his lap, given he’s all husbanded up or whatever now. there’s jude but then jenny to think about and even if the girls are all in this together, she knows that’ll come back to bite her in the ass somehow. she doesn’t know angel like that, could maybe get away with it with santiago or dante given their interest in her but isn’t trying to lead either on. so...  “ hey, miles, you got a sec ? ” she calls out half way in her wandering over to him on the sofas, sitting there all open and perfect with a free lap just waiting to be sat on. she doesn’t waste time as soon as she’s close enough, her arms draping across his shoulders to lock her hands together behind his neck, sitting upon him and making herself comfortable on his lap, letting her legs fall off to the side of him. she leans in, her voice a soft whisper as she brings her lips close to his ear. “ okay, don’t freak out, but i have something super secret to tell you. ” she says a little slow, take up as much time as possible... how many seconds has it been already ?
