Technodad deserves the biggest hug in the world. The hate towards george, unnecessary hate at that is ridiculous. Ppl rather believe the misinformation that was being spread around than watch the 2 hour long vod bc that's how long the event was or even clips that SHOWED the truth that george wasn't being malicious. That george said several times to donate to the charity linked that was PINNED in his twitch chat and if you donate to him, the money would go to charity.

Everybody was making jokes throughout the event! Everybody was having a good time even technodad stated how much fun he was having. Why ruined it just bc you hate george?!

Its just sad overall that technodad had to see all this unnecessary hate towards one of his sons friends on an event that honoring his late son and his legacy.

They both deserves an apology.

Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival

BUDLEIGH SALTERTON LITERARY FESTIVAL

Sept 21 24 Blog by Lynne Pearl

The sun was brilliant and the gardens beside the Temple Mount Methodist church in Budleigh were resplendent, the sun was so strong.  We might have been in Greece, the sea was nearby.  But we were in a small seaside town in the far South West.  It is beautiful and far away from anything.  And it has a very good literary festival.  On the programme were many quite renown writers such as:

Rick Stein, Frank Gardner, Patrick Grant, Carol Klein, Rev Richard Coles, Iain Dale Jonathan Dimbleby Susan Fletcher Liz Earle Lesley Pearse Cathy Rentzenbrink Craig Brown Wendy Joseph KC Sir Anthony Seldon.

Chair of the festival Cathy Rentzenbrink welcomes us to the festival in the festival programme like this:

‘What a complete delight it is to be writing these words, thinking about how wonderful it will be to be back in beautiful Budleigh Salterton, and what an honour it is to be introducing you to this year’s offerings. The programme is full of familiar favourites, new discoveries and mind-expanding treats. There’s plenty of war, politics, fashion and food, workshops for the curious, and lots of entertainment in the Marquee. I’ll be exploring brotherly love with the amazing Manni and Reuben Coe, and am honoured to be chairing the Hilary Mantel Emerging Writers’ panel. My President’s Event this year is with the erudite and amusing Sam Leith who has written a fabulous book about the history of children’s literature, and I’ll be talking about my own novel Ordinary Time which is about a reluctant vicar’s wife - there is a hint of Budleigh and her churches in my fictional St Breda. Literary festivals and those who organise and attend them are very much on the side of the angels, I think, and I am heartily looking forward to seeing you all in September.’

And these were the authors we came to see and listen to them talk about their writing experiences:

TOM LAMONT, PENELOPE SLOCOMBE, CARLA JENKINS

Emerging Writer’s Event where: Temple Church time: 2pm | ticket: £5 Talking to Cathy Rentzenbrink

This year’s trio of debut writers are certainly ones to watch for the future. Their books, which share the theme of relationships, include the story of a mother’s desperate search for her son, the magical relationship that grows between a young boy and his unexpected foster father, and the disturbing tale of a therapist and his patient. Tom Lamont’s Going Home is already one of the Observer’s Debut Novels of 2024.

We were attending a session with two of the three emerging writers being interviewed about the books they had just written and these were their first books.  They were debut writers, their stories were fascinating. One was a journalist by profession, the other an English teacher.  They had just written successful novels one set partly in India and the other book was about the parenting of a very young child and the trials of difficult friendships.

Each writer read from their novel which is always a treat to be read to by the person who has written the words so one sees the personality behind the story.

When I tell a story, I am enchanted with my words, the world and the situation I am creating out of nothing.  It’s rather like being a magician creating worlds that tell us stories and hopefully teach us.

For example, when the hero of my third book, Thiel, is on his travels in a created landscape and country, he has to find accommodation for the night for himself, a young child and his horse so he steps into the pub on the harbour at the sea port of Ive:

The warmth inside made Thiel’s head reel and the brightness of the light blinded him.  He stood quite still on the door mat as the door banged behind him.  No one in the bar seemed to notice the addition of one more body in the room.  They were sitting in groups, some in high-backed benches, some clustered around the huge fireplace, some talking, some listening, and a few playing some kind of game with wooden counters.  When his head stopped reeling, Thiel stepped forward from the shelter of the door to the bar.  He had seen the innkeeper, or so he took him to be by his wide, warm face, standing behind the bar serving customers drinks and food.  Thiel crossed the floor, and a few turned to look and stopped their talk to study the stranger.  Some spoke to their neighbour, they were trying to place him.  Where did he come from?  His appearance and clothes were not easy to identify.  It was a favourite game for the folk of Ive to guess where a stranger’s home port was from outward signs that gave him away.

And in ways like this the author has to make a world out of nothing as it were, which is what the two authors did who were being interviewed that day.

They both happily answered questions including about their book deals, one author had a book deal with US and the other author had a book deal with Germany.  They talked about the luck of it.  One said he nearly didn’t send it.  This was a story about parenting a young child and a problem friend who lets you down.  He had sent it out before, but it was not accepted, so he began to give up, but he edited with help.  He added who you meet is luck, that you can anticipate nothing and have to be grateful for what happens.  But as a result of their book deals both authors are able to continue to write.

It was a lovely day by the seaside and we were in the company of some excellent writers, to listen to how others make a story out of nothing, or just what they know, that is always fascinating.

EL SANTO OFICIO/ THE HOLY OFFICE / THE HOLY INQUISITION(Arturo Ripstein, Mexico, 1974)

EL SANTO OFICIO/ THE HOLY OFFICE / THE HOLY INQUISITION (Arturo Ripstein, Mexico, 1974) is a more serious and austere film than we’re used to seeing from Arturo Ripstein, but at least as great as anything we’ve seen by him so far. A Jewish family fleeing persecution in Spain make a life in Mexico and prosper. That is, until the father dies. The family had sacrificed one of their male children to…

✦ . BOYFRIEND TARTAGLIA . ₊ ⊹

⌗ synopsis how bf! tartaglia would treat you, his significant other, whether it would be him spoiling you to funny moments with him.

› content fluff, crack, gn!reader, headcannons, slight ooc

notes .ᐟ first (srs) headcannon & first time writing for tartaglia. hope it isn't too ooc... i fear most of the characters i'll write for in the future will be. anyways, enjoy!

BF! TARTAGLIA who spoils you rotten. he has tons of money to spend, even buying three mansions won't make a dent in his bank. he even encourages you to buy all the things you want, loving to see the smile on your face and the happiness that radiates off of you. though, you tend to reject his money because you don't like the thought of greedily spending all of your significant others money on selfish reasons. even though he knows you don't like spending his money, he sneaks in his card in your purse and reassures you that you can use it whenever. no limit.

you and your boyfriend, tartaglia, were walking through the streets of a current festial being held. looking around, there were tons of stands filled with wonderful and colourful items, and delicious treats beind sold. even with these overhelming stores surronding you, this one place caught your eye. this bright and colourful store sold beautiful dresses, and coincidentally, you needed to buy a new one to attend a friends wedding. tartaglia could see your eyes lighting up once your gaze fixated on the window display of beautiful shimmering dresses. dragging your dear tartaglia in, you browsed through many dresses, long and short, to tight and loose. after trying many on, this single dress had a place in your heart. at the cashier, you were searching through your bag for your card, when suddenly, a pale slender arm reached before you and payed. turning around, you could see a genuine smile on his face. you're stunned, standing with the jaw dropping dress in hands while tartaglia held your hands, guiding your hands out the shop. "you know, (name), don't be afraid to use my money. i have tons for you to spend, plus, it makes me happy seeing you have the things you adore."

BF! TARTAGLIA who is extremely corny. he's the type to try and sway you with flirtatious comments, but it ends up sounding like a middle school boys pick up line. though, his corniness never bothered you. you find it quite cute and funny.

BF! TARTAGLIA who sends/shows you cute memes or trends. he is the type if childish boyfriend who'll send those "us in another universe" types of tiktoks he comes by on tiktok. and trust me, he'll send every single one he sees to you, because it reminds him of you! he is also the type of boyfriend to ask you "would you love me if i was a worm?" and get all clingy whether or not your answer is yes or no. he just loves starting things with you.

"hey, (name), look, look! isn't this video literally us?" turning your head to watch the video presented, a smile slowly creeps onto your face. the video showed two kids playing around with a phone, taking pictures of one another without the sight of an adult nearby. it was truly heartwarming and nostalgic. you turn around to face your beautiful ginger boyfriend, and nod. "yes, childe, this is very much like us!" you reply with a giggle. finding him and the video both cute.

BF! TARTAGLI who steals the blankets and bed space at night. every night you toss and turn, the cold air brushing your porcelain skin, sending shivers up your spine. occasionally, this would make you make up in the middle of the night. every night you would pray that you'd be able to steal the blanket back, but to no avail, his grip was always too hard, making you eventually loose hope. though, this annoying habit would be forgiven for as he is the best at showing his affection by cleaning around the house and cooking you meals.

BF! TARTAGLIA who gets jealous of your plushies. whenever you're sleeping over, you usually bring some stuffed toys for comfort, and also to make it feel like home. though, those said plushies that may make you feel welcomed does not say the same for how tartaglia feels about it. after waking up from sleeping over with him, you leave for your job. after coming back, ready to jump imto the comforts of your boyfriends sheets, a messy and horrible scene unfolds infront of your eyes. shocked, all the plushies you've brought over to cuddle with are on the floor along with obvious punch marks. the culprit? childe. after having a talk with him about it, he gives a half assed apology to you and your plushies. but, the same feat will happen the next day. maybe don't bring other stuff to cuddle with when you have your boyfriend, tartaglia.

this makes me think of some divination we did a few months back

What thanks do you need to give? What do you need to ask for? What would it serve you to have represented? I’m thinking of an expression – “form follows function.” Your heart breaks at the beauty of the lilac. To whom do you express that transcendent joy?

that sensation of "holy shit FLOWERS IT'S SPRING AAAA" which leads to "whom do I thank for this blessing and how do I thank them??" is the right urge to follow (at least according to divination with D) when it comes to preparing festivals or even building out a practice and deciding whom to venerate and when.

as for me I always note the first flowers coming up but I can never bring myself to cut them or bring them inside. I have to do my thanking outdoors, haha. however I think it would be customary to offer them to Persephone!

Just had an idea for a new Dionysian festival, (inspired by this post reblogged by @thegodwhocums ) called the Lesser Anthesteria. This is only “lesser” as in, a somewhat smaller celebration than the traditional 3-day Anthesteria in the Athenian calendar.

This festival would officially begin not on the first day of Spring, but on the first day that you find flowers growing outside. Unless you find them in your neighbor’s yard, pick these flowers (or just that flower), and put them on your altar of Dionysos, or a space that reminds you of Dionysos. Then, the rest of the day would be simply dedicated to celebrating the start of Spring. You could add in a prayer to Persephone, Hades, or Hermes, as Persephone begins Her journey up from the Underworld.

The aforementioned post really made me think a minute about seasonal rhythms in relation to the traditional festivals. I think celebrating Anthesteria whenever it falls on the Athenian calendar is fun - it usually spits in the face of whatever weather is going on at the moment (New England + a festival that seems to usually fall in February = still cold and grey and wintery), and that seems to be a very Dionysian thing. But fresh flowers are cool, and it is SO refreshing to pick a flower after months and months of darkness, cold, and dreariness. Even more so refreshing to offer that joy with a God!

Anyways, the first flowers of spring haven’t come up yet in my area - I’ll report back to y’all when they do!

Medieval devotional sources saw a direct connection between Mary’s roles as Queen of Heaven and Empress of Hell, ascribing to her the power to influence both the highest heights and lowest depths of the afterlife. John Mirk’s fourteenth-century Festial, a collection of Middle English sermons, includes a passage where Mary herself described her double roles as she sought to save a Christian possessed by the devil: “I am God’s mother, and I pray that my son gets this soul a place in heaven. I am also empress of hell, and have power over all you enemies."... Her influence is so great that even those in hell are not beyond her protection, and she descends into the underworld to tangle with the devil. In these fights, Mary does not simply condemn the devil with her words, but issues physical punishments that reinforce her authority... Equally fascinating are the times when she engages him in skillful debate... [In these cases,] Mary does not use trickery or brute force, but is able to free the woman’s soul from the devil’s clutches by out-arguing him. The devil, notably, does not dismiss her as inept or out of her sphere, but instead views her as a powerful adversary.

[teeth-cable]

So this was originally part of a reblog from this post. The post linked explains the many times Striker, Blitzo, Moxxie, and Mille could have killed each other in Harvest Fest but didn’t. Reading it inspired me to write six different aftermath outlines for each character’s death that could have happen in the Ep to explain why a character death is something that Helluva needed

——————————————————————————

If Stolas had been shot the obvious conquenses would be the IMPs would be blamed and their reputation would be ruined. The Stoliz affair would be exposed and Blizto becomes an even worse person because another relationship of his failed and Stolas died technically because of him and their illegal business would be discovered and shut down. Now the IMPs at the bottom of the barrel and no one’s respect them. The only way they can gain respect back is if they found Striker and ask him questions about his client.

If the M&M died instead, Blitzo would realize the other two most important people in his life died because he was too late. Even though Stolas is safe now with the M&M gone, Blitzo realizes how much he took his relationship with them for granted and he regrets how he treated them. The business suffers from their deaths since the majority of kills came from Millie and Moxxie kept Blitzo on track during the job. So now Blitzo has to hire and learn about the new imps while becoming more closed and self-destructive.

If Millie just died, Moxxie would cut all ties with Blizto and the IMPs business. The only reason why he took Blitzo and Loona’s abuse was because Millie loved the job but with her gone, he has no reason to stay. Same events from the last scenario happens next.

If Moxxie just died, it would have change Millie would change for the worst. She becomes mournful, dangerously aggressive, and filled with vengeance. Millie’s only motivation is to hunt Striker down and kill him. She brings Loona and Blitzo along, using Moxxie’s death to guilt trip them into staying and finding Striker. During the hunt for Striker, Loona and Blitzo becomes scared of Millie. Every time the search leads to a dead end or Millie gets angry, she lashes out and destroys everything around her even getting into physical fights with Blizto and Loona. When they eventually find Striker again, it’s a bloody battle. Millie mindlessly attacks Striker, letting her emotions take over while Striker struggles to fight back. It becomes such a gory sight that Blizto and Loona have to restraint Millie. When they do, Striker weakly explains why he had to killed Moxxie and why he was at the Festial to begin with. They learned that Striker was there to assassinate Stolas and Moxxie got in the way. When Millie hears this information, she realize that what Striker was doing was no different from the IMPs. Now it’s up to her if she wants to spare Striker and hunt Stella down, this time with a plan and a clean mind or kill Striker become worse than before

If Blitzo died, Moxxie and Millie would feel sad but Loona would be the one heartbroken. She knows that in someway it is her fault for not hurrying when Blitzo blew the dog whistle. When she discovered the news, she pretended it didn’t affect her but it did deeply. Stolas realizes that Blitzo is no where to be found and he asked the M&M. M&M tells Stolas that Blitzo died to protect him from an assassin imp. Stolas’s coping method is to romanticized everything so when he first heard the news, he focus that Bltizo was protecting him instead of his death. Loona gets piss and chews Stolas out saying that Blitzo died for his ignorant ass and it wouldn’t have happened if the Arc Goatias would stop contributing to the mistreatment of the imps. Stolas get angry and both Loona and Stolas are on bad terms. After a while Loona realizes that she will be inheriting the IMP business per request by Blitzo. So not only she is bottling her emotions but a new gateway to stress open and she realizes why Blitzo wanted her to take the job seriously. Back to Stolas, he tries to ignore Loona’s words but ever since she told him that, he noticed how the imps are actually being treated and realizes that he caused Blitzo unintentional pain. Stolas tries to learn the imps culture and Blitzo’s backstory. Loona is stressing over the business since she failing to get costumers due to her aggressive personality and now they don’t have the book because she chewed Stolas out. Loona is ready to give up until Stolas comes to visit her. He came so he could learn about Blitzo and his family. Things are awkward but Loona accepts him so she can get the grimore back. Throughout these visits Stolas gets to learn about Blitzo and how hard imp’s life is and Stolas uses these visits to reflect on his relationship with Blitzo and how him as an Arc Goatia should have done better for the imps. Loona reflects on how she treated Blitzo, her attitude, and she wants to do better for the business in the name of Blitzo. So thoughout Loona and Stolas help eachother grown as people. Until Stella hears about Stolas plans to help the imps and hired Striker again. (Stolas would have a dramatic scene where Loona is about to die and he realizes that Stella was the one who ordered Striker to kill him.)

If Striker died, the IMPs became suspicious of everyone and their surroundings. They are made aware that there is someone putting a hit on Stolas and has a stash of holy weapons. While doing the IMP business, they’re trying to track down who was Striker’s boss. Blitzo spends more time with Stolas without telling him why and Stolas thinks Blitzo wants an actual relationship with him.

———-———-———-———-———-———-———-—

In my personal opinion if someone had died in Harvest Moon and consequences followed the main cast, it would made Helluva Boss more interesting and prove it has stakes. Right now Helluva is too scared to give it’s main characters permanent consequences so when you noticed this, the series gets staled because you know that nothing truly bad will happen to the IMPs. (Also I wish that they didn’t revealed Stella was the client in the EP. It could have been a running mystery throughout the show that kept fans hooked)
