J. Harley Garrett-Hyde

Today is my 3rd great-grandfather's 171st birthday, so allow me to introduce you to him!

Harley Hyde, as he seemed better known, was born on 13 Oct 1853 in Greenville County, South Carolina, USA to unknown parents. In a Genealogy.com forum from 2011, a man I'll name as R.T. alleged he was descended from Harley and his only known wife, Harriet C. Cobb. He claimed he received information from a conversation with Hattie E. B. Alexander in 1992. Hattie is the youngest child and only known daughter of Harriet and her second husband, Benjamin Valentine "Tiny" Alexander. According to R.T., Hattie revealed that Harley's birth surname was originally Garrett, but when one of Harley's parents was killed during the U.S. Civil War, he was taken in by his mother's family and assumed his mother's maiden and family name of Hyde. R.T. went on to mention a newspaper article from the Guntersville Democrat that detailed Harley was killed on 10 Dec 1889 in a steam boiler explosion. Another article a week later discussing Harley's land called him Harley Garrett.

While I couldn't locate the newspaper articles, I found a book published in 2016 by Robin Sterling titled People and Things from the Marshall County, Alabama, Guntersville Democrat 1880-1891.

Two entries stood out.

Since both of them lend hefty credence to R.T.'s accounts, I wanted to verify that this was, in fact, my 3rd great-grandfather.

What are the odds it could be someone else? I know, but you'd be surprised! I have a post about Lula Bell Adams, who's not only my great-grandmother but also the wife of Isaac Bales "Brov" Hyde Sr., the son of our very own Harley and Harriet Hyde.

Family trees, amirite?

The verification process began with a 1985 obituary for Lula Bell (Adams) Hyde Traffenstedt that could be personally authenticated. It mentions that she "died at the home of her daughter Dr. Mattie Hyde in Mobile" and later that "she went to visit her daughters Dr. Hyde and Mrs. Lillie Tipton".

Mattie Hyde delivered my mother into this world and was her great-aunt (my 2nd great-aunt). My mother spent many fun times with her and was admittedly spoiled rotten by Dr. Mattie. Lillie Belle (Hyde) Tipton was my great-grandmother. It also mentions another daughter, Bertha, whom my mother also knew, and a son named Robert.

With those links verified, I found a 1910 census that corroborates with the obituary. Isaac B. Hyde was listed as head of household and his wife was listed as Lula B., with their listed children being Bertha M., Lillie B., and Robert E. This census, along with census records from 1900 and 1920, ties Lula and her children to Isaac. I also found marriage records that prove Lula and Isaac were married on 22 Aug 1897 in Marshall County, Alabama, USA.

Next, I tracked down Isaac's death record to prove his parentage. Unfortunately, his father is listed as "DK" or "don't know", but his mother is listed as Harriett Garrett, and his children are listed as Robert, Mattie, Bertha, and Lillie. Even his [step]siblings were listed: Frank [Thomas Franklin] and Cobb [David Cobb] Alexander, and Hattie (Alexander) Mize [Maze].

It's certainly compelling evidence. If it wasn't enough, though, his obituary solidifies the information by again naming all of his children and stepsiblings. Many other records verify relationships between the Alexander children and their father Benjamin to Harriet(t) C. Cobb AKA Harriet(t) Garrett AKA Harriet(t) Hyde AKA Harriet(t) Alexander.

To authentically link Harriet to Harley, I looked at a census from 1880. The head of household is J. H. Garrett, whose wife is Harriett, and whose children are Walter and I.B. This led me to find a death certificate for William Walter Hyde, whose parents are listed as Harvey Hyde and Harriet Cob. Pretty close, but I like to be sure.

I dug around the internet until I finally found an obituary for a Mrs. Harriet C. Cobb-Hyde-Alexander, a definitive match if ever there was one! It names Harley Hyde as her first husband, who was "killed by an explosion of a steam boiler in December, 1889". To add to the gold mine, it also mentions their sons, W.W., I.B., and P.M. Hyde, Harriet's marriage to Benjamin and their children T.F. and D.C. Alexander and Hattie Alexander-Maze.

Sadly, I've yet to discover who Harley's parents were. Some records seem to indicate Harley's first initial, J., stood for Jacob, but I can't verify them. For now, my lineage through him back into the expanse of time remains a mystery, but I'm holding onto hope I'll figure out where he, and I, came from.

If you've read this far, I hope you've enjoyed getting to know Harley and letting his memory live for a few moments more.

Lucius Henry Holsey was born on July 3, 1842, near Columbus, Georgia. His mother Louisa was enslaved. His father James Holsey owned the plantation. Lucius was born enslaved.

He was sold to his cousin T. L. Wynn and then to Richard Malcolm Johnston, an academic. According to the New Georgia Encyclopedia, Holsey chose to be sold to Johnston. According to American National Biography, Holsey taught himself to read and write and was not educated; according to the New Georgia Encyclopedia, some of Holsey's relatives taught him to read. He remained enslaved by the Johnston family until slavery was abolished.

Holsey converted to Methodism after attending plantation missionary revivals led by Henry McNeal Turner. He was given a preaching license as a Methodist minister in February 1868 and held various positions as a minister until he was appointed a bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church (now the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church) in March 1873. The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church was a division of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, created for African people in 1870 during the Reconstruction era.

As a bishop, Holsey founded churches, wrote and revised religious texts including the church's Book of Discipline, and participated in church governance. He also edited a church newspaper, The Gospel Trumpet. He raised funds in support of educational institutions including Paine College; Lane College; Holsey Industrial Institute in Cordele, Georgia; and the Helen B. Cobb Institute for Girls in Barnesville, Georgia.

Initially an advocate for racial cooperation, Holsey endorsed Black separatism around the turn of the 20th century after Sam Hose was lynched in 1899.

In 1898, Holsey published Autobiography, Sermons, Addresses, and Essays with Franklin Printing & Publishing Company in Atlanta, Georgia. It went through three editions.

Holsey married Harriett Turner on November 8, 1862, or 1863. Harriett was 15 at the time. Her name is also given as Harriett A. Pearce or Harriet A. Turner. Harriett and Lucius met in Hancock County, Georgia, while classes at the University of Georgia, where Johnston taught, were canceled due to the Civil War. Lucius died on August 3, 1920, at his home on Auburn Avenue in Atlanta

I mentioned earlier that a lot of Young family members are scattered around the Salt Lake City cemetery in a few different sections, so I thought I'd share the graves for some of the women I don't know as much about in a post together. Aside from Emily Partridge and Zina Huntington, who I'll make a separate post for in a bit, these are all the wives of Brigham Young I located in the SLC cemetery (ie, not buried with him in the family graveyard). I put the pictures of both the graves and the women in chronological order of when they married into the family, which also (roughly) tracks with their age.

Augusta Adams Cobb (1802-1886) lived in Boston with her first husband and nine children before being converted to Mormonism by Brigham Young when he was a missionary in Massachusetts. She ended up leaving her first husband and her older children to move to Nauvoo with her two youngest and become Brigham's second plural wife. They were about the same age and she did not have children with him. The marriage proved rather fraught, as she wrote him numerous letters complaining with quite caustic language about him paying more attention to younger wives. They did stay married, although he eventually agreed to allow her to unseal from him and seal herself to Joseph Smith for eternity. Twenty-five years later, her son James's ex-wife Mary van Cott ended up becoming Brigham's second-to-last wife. When Augusta died, she was initially buried according to her wishes with Brigham, but her daughter Charlotte, who had left Mormonism as an adult, later had her exhumed and she is now buried with James, Charlotte, and Charlotte's husband. You'll note that Augusta's current gravestone does not mention Brigham Young at all--I'm assuming that was probably Charlotte's choice as well.

Harriet Cook (1824-1898) (identified on her grave as Harriett C.) was Brigham Young's third plural wife and the last woman he married before Joseph Smith's death. I don't know a lot about her except that virtually every reference I've found to her involves other women talking about her being difficult to get along with and irritable, though there's also references to her being brave and intelligent. Apparently, she told a sister-wife that she was "only a proxy wife" and Brigham didn't love her. I don't get the sense that she was a particular favorite either, so I tend to interpret her behavior as someone who was unhappy with her situation trying to "punch down" on wives she viewed as being worse off than her. She had one son, Oscar, who she is buried next to.

Clara Decker (1828-1889) was the younger sister of Lucy Decker, Brigham's first plural wife. She married him in 1844 when she was fifteen. I don't know a lot about her life or personality, unfortunately. Her obituary refers to her as "of a very modest and retiring disposition". Clara, like many other women whose life was primarily in the sphere of the home and who did not leave much if any personal writing, is hard to find traces of in the historical record. (Very much women's historian and fellow Mormon Laurel Thatcher Ulrich’s "well-behaved women rarely make history"). As her gravestone and much of the contemporary writing I can find about her tells us, she was one of three women who accompanied the vanguard pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. The other two women were wives of Heber Kimball and Brigham's brother Lorenzo Young. Again, we don't know what Clara thought or felt about this journey, but I imagine traveling to an unknown new home as a nineteen-year-old in a company of over 140 men led by her husband must have been a bit of a strange experience. She is buried next to her daughter Jeanette and near her two other daughters. She also had two sons who did not live to adulthood.

Eliza Burgess (1827-1915), unfortunately, I do not know a lot about either. Eliza immigrated from England to Nauvoo with her family and worked in the Lion House as a servant before marrying Brigham at age 25. Her stepdaughter Susa Young, who wrote a fair amount about her childhood in the Lion House and is one of the only sources on the personality of some lesser-documented wives, described her as a "capable, efficient housewife" and said that "her one release from what might have been corroding jealousy in a lesser soul was driving labor", which is frankly pretty depressing. Susa also described Eliza as a doting mother to her only child, Alfales. As an adult, Alfales was editor of a Mormon-critical paper and was one of two children of Brigham Young who I know outright left the church. Eliza lived with him after being widowed until her death, and he is buried next to her. She was Brigham Young's last surviving wife. Interestingly, there's a photograph taken of Brigham's other seven living wives in 1899, but for some reason Eliza was not included (maybe because of her son's outspoken religious views?)

Harriet Barney (1830-1911) first married at the age of sixteen as the third wife of 31-year-old William Sayers, though their first child was not born until about five years later. She left Sayers after four children and remarried Brigham Young in 1856. (Though both her marriages were polygamous, single mothers, whether divorced or widowed, were disproportionately likely to be in plural marriages if they married again.) She had one more child, Phineas Young, who she is buried next to. Susa Young described her as a "calm, peaceful soul" who was friendly with her sister-wives even though she did not live in the Lion House, which was already fully occupied by the time she married into the family. Her obituary implies that she had suffered from some sort of chronic illness for 40 years by the time of her death.

Finally, we have the third woman named Harriet that Brigham Young married, generally known to historians as Amelia Folsom--she started going by her middle name after her marriage to distinguish herself from the two other Harriets. Harriet Amelia (1838-1910) married 61-year-old Brigham in 1863, and was his undisputed favorite wife until his death. She was the oldest child of church-employed architect William Folsom, apparently a talented pianist and singer, described by contemporaries as charming and fashionable, and frequently accompanied her husband to dances and the theater. As he aged and developed various health problems, she also provided him comfort and companionship at home, including at his home in southern Utah, where he spent the last several winters of his life with just Amelia. She seems to have been liked by some of her sister-wives and resented by others. She never had children--I'm guessing she was not able to, because he had children with other women after their marriage. Still in her thirties when she was widowed, she was left a significant bequest. She ended up spending some time living with her elderly father as his caregiver (like her husband, he suffered from arthritis), and then purchased her own home, where she taught piano lessons and entertained until being disabled by a stroke three years before her death.

The only one of these women who left much of anything in her own words was Augusta, so there's definitely a process here of guesswork when you try to reassemble what these women and their lives might be like, working off the reminiscences of co-wives, stepchildren, children, and public memory.

Fennec.

Fennec Shand is handsome, clever, and rich, and rules the town of Mos Espa alongside her best friend, the Daimyo Boba Fett. Since consolidating their control of the sector, there has been little to distress or vex them.

Fennec-Emma AU, featuring Boba/Fennec, Jo/Drash, Din/Cobb, some slight Fennec/Bo-Katan, and implied Bo/Koska but now that I have the Nitearmor bug that may be included too 🤭 this is just an outline but these are two of my favorite things, Star Wars and Jane Austen lol

I highly encourage anyone who has not yet seen Emma. (2020) starring Anya Taylor-Joy to witness its excellence.

- (This is all because I accidentally put “I’ll dance with you, if you’ll have me” in another fic lmao)

- Fennec as Emma

- Boba as Mr. Knightley

- (they’re kind of both Emma and both Mr. Knightley, and also both kind of Mr. Woodhouse) (Boba moreso though)

- The people of Mos Espa are the broad concept of Mr. Woodhouse? Somehow.

- The Majordomo as Bartholomew the long-suffering manservant?

- Din as Harriet (Because he is The New Girl, & kind of also Jane Fairfax, because he is also Mysterious and That Bitch)

- Cobb as Robert Martin (he already is kind of Boba’s tenant farmer)

- Taanti as Mrs. Martin Senior

- The Tuskens who helped with the Kryat dragon as the Martin sisters

- the Armorer would be Mrs. Goddard…

- Paz as one of the schoolgirls (lmao)

- Drash and Jo as Miss Taylor and “Ms.” Weston

- Boba gives Drash away at the wedding and is beside himself with joy

- though he does do a bit of "poor Miss Taylor"-ing about how Drash is moving to Freetown

- Din asks, “Who cried most?” (it was Taanti)

- (Din wasn't there bc he had to go get the Armorer and Paz) (and I guess Ragnar’s there too)

- Peli as Miss Bates

- (and R5 as Mrs. Bates)

- (I’m thinking like the 2020 version where Mrs. Bates doesn’t talk at all until the very end and then won’t shut up)

- The other gotras would be the Coles etc

- The Modifier as Dr. Perry

- DENGAR AND MANAROO AS JOHN AND ISABELLA

- We can probably throw Bossk in there for no good reason for the Christmas Life Day dinner scene

- Highbury is Tatooine broadly/Mos Espa specifically

- The Palace is Donwell Abbey ... and also Hartfield

- The Parish is like, the abstract concept of (Bo-Katan's version of) the Mandalorian Way

- Brighton (or is it Bath he goes to??) is Mandalore?

- London is Coruscant ofc

- The Churchills’ estates are the abstract concept of the Jedi order

- Ford’s would be Garsa’s sanctuary

- BO-KATAN WOULD BE MR. ELTON (broadly)

- The portrait would instead be Bo-Katan suggesting to Din (& maybe Boba’s there too) that they make Fennec a cuirasse & new helmet (not of beskar, but at least in the Mandalorian style)

- Carriage scene, “I was flirting with Din for political reasons, for the darksaber! I was trying to get you to like me to get close to Boba! I don’t care about any of you, I only care about Mandalore!”

- All her other Mando gang would be Mrs. Elton, being kind of annoying and disrespectful & weirdly familiar to Mr. Knightley but also the best/funniest part of the whole thing

- Luke would also be both Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill… Because he is Also Mysterious and That Bitch

- All the secret Jane Fairfax shit is Luke keeping all the Jedi stuff/his Skywalker backstory kind of secret

- Leia and Han as Miss Campbell and Mr. Dixon!

- the seaside incident = the Sarlacc incident???

- (I mean Han has saved Luke’s ass so many times—“that’s two you owe me, junior”)

- Luke letting Grogu go back to Din would be the pianoforte…

- GROGU IS THE PIANOFORTE

- Everyone (at least Bo-Katan) assumes it’s some kind of rescue mission or ultimatum by Boba but no, Luke let Grogu choose

- Luke did Din a great service!! (rescuing Grogu!!) (LIKE FRANK & HARRIET AND THE TRAVELERS)

- this situation would be the Travelers Incident (=> The Pity Dance) = Hearing Grogu's Call (=> Letting Grogu Choose)

- And then Boba (Mr. Knightley) can get over his dislike of Luke (Frank Churchill) since he helped Din (& Grogu) (Harriet)!!!

- any flirting with Fennec would be all Luke "I'm pure sunshine, charming naturally" Skywalker

- we shall have our ball indeed...

- Mr. Knightley sending his carriage would be Boba going to personally pick up Din, Cobb, Drash, & Jo from Freetown for their little event...

- Still need to include the Mr. Knightley singing with Jane scene

- ....but would this be Luke or Din as Jane?? 😱 THIS WOULD BE DIN, THEY'D BE SINGING A MANDO SONG

- AND BO-KATAN WOULD BE LIKE 😡 that should be me...

- The Strawberry picking outing at Donwell Abbey would be some kind of Mandalorian holiday…

- Boba just hangs out with Din the whole time, ignoring Bo-Katan, who is trying to set Din up as a governess/journeyman for her kind of Mandalorian (maybe even to help take care of foundlings??) so she’s heated

- Luke arrives late and is like 🤷‍♀️ I’m not a Mando, guess I'll leave

- Fennec is like, I’m not either, but Boba invited you to show favor to Grogu & by extension Din

- (He wanted to sit down with Din & Bo-Katan & Boba and explain about Tarre Vizsla, how Grogu can walk the way of the Mandalore while still following Jedi teachings, but the vibes are atrocious)

- He says, when I am missed… tell the others

- Fennec is like, okay fine, leave then

- Luke is like [shocked Pikachu face]

- Box Hill as a pod race instead???

- Fennec says something [unintentionally] nasty to Peli about how junk can still win

- It’s only funny when Peli says that herself…

- Of course Din takes Peli's side, so Cobb does too

- Even the Mods are like, be careful what you call junk...

- Badly done, Fennec!

- she sulks in the tower...

- Boba cheers Peli up by lettering her work on his “antique” (he grits his teeth when he says it ... but for real that ship has been around for a while lol)

That’s all I have for now, but I’ve been stewing on this for like a year.

@daimyosprincess @pickleprickle I feel like we are feeling the same wavelength here!

Harriet Powers (October 29, 1837 – January 1, 1910) was a folk artist and quilt maker. She was born into slavery in rural Georgia. She used traditional appliqué techniques to record local legends, Bible stories, and astronomical events on her quilts. Only two of her quilts are known to have survived: Bible Quilt 1886 and Pictorial Quilt 1898. Her quilts are considered among the finest examples of nineteenth-century Southern quilting. Her work is on display at the National Museum of American History in DC and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Historians say she spent her early life on a plantation owned by John and Nancy Lester in Madison County, Georgia, where it is believed she learned to sew from other enslaved or her mistress.

She began exhibiting her quilts. Her first quilt, known as the Bible Quilt, was shown at the Athens Cotton Fair in 1886. Jennie Smith, an artist and art teacher from the Lucy Cobb Institute, saw the quilt, which she found to be remarkable, at the fair and asked to purchase it, but she refused to sell it. The two women remained in touch when she met with financial difficulties four years later, she agreed to sell the piece for five dollars, having asked for ten but was talked down by Smith. She vividly explained the imagery on the quilt; Smith recorded these explanations, adding notes of her own in her diary. She visually communicated with her narrative quilts themes from her own experience and the techniques from the age-old crafts of African Americans.

The history of the second quilt is unclear. One account suggests that it was commissioned by the wives of faculty members of Atlanta University, who had seen the first quilt at the Cotton States Exhibition in Atlanta when she and her husband had separated. The quilt was purchased in Nashville in 1898.

The piece was presented to the Reverend Charles Cuthbert Hall, who was serving as the vice-chairman of the University’s board of trustees. The reverend’s heirs sold the quilt to collector Maxim Karolik, who then donated it to the Museum of Fine Arts.

Records of other quilts exist but they have not survived. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

[fourthfolio]

I think the character driven plot of the scene is poignant on it's own but I have thought about this myself.

Once I happened to read Paradise Lost and Persuasion concurrently and was constantly thinking they had parallels. The Milton specifically, not just the tale of genesis. I forget exactly what the connections were now. But looking for symbolism in this particular scene, it's hard not to immediately think of THE fall. She's a naive, blissful girl when she falls and then she wakes up into a mature, dour philosopher. Innocent to knowledgable.

Also, Louisa is clearly 'falling' in love with Wentworth. He has no romantic intentions for her, therefore, he will not be able to 'catch' her in love nor on the Cobb. She may call herself headstrong but she never had to suffer the consequences until she falls. In that sense, she's like Adam & Eve: can you truly be faithful, if you don't KNOW what it means to be unfaithful? In Louisa's case, are you really strong of purpose, if you are ignorant of the possible cost. Louisa clearly did not think it possible she could die by jumping on the Cobb.

Anne, on the other hand, is full of this knowledge. Now, at this point in her life, she knows what she is willing to risk to be with Wentworth. She listened to advice when she was young, but now she thinks it was bad advice even in its time. She doesn't just think it was bad because Wentworth happened to survive and become rich and therefore there was never any risk to begin with. Knowing herself better now, she would rather have taken the risk of becoming a young widow than breaking off the engagement.

Maybe Anne doesn't truly understand what the consequences would be for a young widow. But that's why Austen included Mrs. Grey and Harriet Smith. Their situations as poor young widows, one dependent on her father once more, and the other ill and dependent on a nurse, are unusual for Austen's typical ensemble. They give Anne (and us) the ability to see into that life, and know if she would have been willing to suffer the life of a poor widow for the chance of being Wentworth's wife.

Is there a symbolism in Louisa jumping off the Cobb at Lyme?

Louisa's jump off the Cobb is a culmination of the stupidity that her and Wentworth have been engaging in up to that point. He has been encouraging her to be headstrong:

My first wish for all whom I am interested in, is that they should be firm. If Louisa Musgrove would be beautiful and happy in her November of life, she will cherish all her present powers of mind.

She's be delighting in acceptable physical contact:

In all their walks, he had had to jump her from the stiles; the sensation was delightful to her.

And this leads to the inevitable, Louisa insists on doing something dangerous and will not hear opposition, she gets hurt while doing it. The opposition comes from the very man who had encouraged her to be headstrong.

Now is there symbolism? I don't know. Louisa the Hazelnut did not outlive the storms of autumn, she cracked her nut instead? Her head was not in fact strong? The admiral does actually make a few jokes about this so I'm in good company.

Anyone else see symbolism? I just see character driven narrative.

A messy Grayson family tree because all the people are hard to keep up with so I decided to lay it out to remember who’s who.

*Also technically Karla, Richard, and John on the left are only in young justice but I’ve seen them used in fan fictions alot so I just put them on if you want them included.*

Maker’s name: Jane Morris

Petition sheet number: 433

Person honouring: H. S. [Harriet] Cobb

Relationship to maker: Photography

In the 1896 electoral roll, Harriet's occupation is photographer; her photos were renowned.

Harriet Sophia Day was born in 1846 in Winfarthing, Norfolk, England to Emily Page and Robert Day. Her father taught her the photographic trade.

She married Joseph Cobb in 1866 in Bournemouth – both shared an interest in photography. Harriet won a medal from the Photographic Society for a portrait of her first three children. Harriet, Joseph and their nine children sailed [to New Zealand] on the Lady Jocelyn, arriving in Napier on the vessel Kiwi in January 1884. 

In 1886, she was one of only two New Zealand photographers to exhibit work at the London Exhibition. When Joseph filed for bankruptcy in 1887, Harriet was able to restart the photography business in her name. In 1889 Harriet won a special first class award for her life studies photographs.

Her involvement in the temperance movement began in the 1880s, and would last for years. Her 15th child, Jack, was born months after Harriet celebrated her 25th wedding anniversary.

After Joseph’s sudden death in 1911, Harriet retired and spent time with her children in their homes. She was a strong, resilient woman and despite losing her husband and several children, including Jack (killed at Messines during WWI), she continued to seek opportunities to serve and bless others.

Harriet's daughter, Elsie Cobb, also signed the petition in Napier and her daughter-in-law Laura Cobb signed the petition in Palmerston North.

Harriet died in 1929, aged 83 in Otahuhu, Auckland.

There are still photos that Harriet took during her lifetime, although, after her death many of her photographic plates were destroyed. Her legacy is preserved by her descendants.

Panel materials: I was gifted the material (cotton) with the cameras. The lace was from St Vinnies. The broach was donated by my mother. The badge was donated by my neighbour (Patricia Bren), and belonged to her mother. The decorative tatting was made by my great-aunt. The backing was woven by my other neighbour’s mother (Lorraine Stuart). Lorraine was an artist who used a number of mediums.

Thanks for the tag! 💚🧡

Actual WIPs that I intend to actually finish eventually:

1. Conglomeration - Boba Fett/Fennec Shand - this will be part 3 in the Sedimentation series, covering Mando season 2 from where they meet up with Din to the end where they’re perched on the throne (or maybe further 😜). This may get spicy but will definitely be more about their emotional connection.

2. Fennec. - Boba Fett/Fennec Shand with a bit of Din/Cobb, Drash/Jo, Bo-Katan/Fennec AND Bo-Katan/Armorer sprinkled in - this is kind of more of a crackfic but this is the Emma AU I mentioned a while ago. Fennec is Emma, Boba is Mr. Knightley, Din is Harriet, Cobb is Robert Martin, Bo-Katan is Mr. Elton, Luke is Jane Fairfax… generally a silly time. Fanfic is about having fun. And I will continue to evangelize about Emma. (2020)

3. [gratuitous bathhouse hours] - Boba Fett/ Fennec Shand - I am 90% sure there is canonically a pool somewhere in the Palace. Fennec mentions offhand that she misses washing her hair the normal way, dry shampoo ain’t the same since she can’t get wet because of the mechanics (*waves hand about Star Wars modifications*), you gotta make do here in the outer rim etc… Boba says, maybe I can help, and shows her the pool. They talk a bit about how to help The People with all this water (it’s an aquifer I guess lol, as a geologist I’m cursed to think about this shit), but he’s like, you’re my #1 person… and offers to like. Wash her hair with her head in his lap… She’s like 😳 I would like that very much…

4. [the morning after the night before] - Boba Fett/Fennec Shand - a follow-up to/somewhat inspired by I can barely feel the pain (when I’m staring at you) by crumpled_up, or as the follow up non-horny version of You Fly, I’ll Shoot, wherein they wake up cuddling, much soft fluff ensues, he’s thinking about how beautiful and soft she looks in the morning suns but she’s actually so dangerous, he’s so grateful she trusts him, they look at one another and almost kiss but they get interrupted by 8D8 and the Mods etc. Vassals need their attention, the Mods are really playing up their mom says no/dad says yes kind of management style etc. just silly fluff all the way down.

5. Edits and/or reworking Xi’zelle and the Twi’lis. That was the first fic I posted while writing (i.e. posting while unfinished) and it turns out I’m really dissatisfied with that process! I just want to tweak some of the pacing and make the burn a little slower, make that family a bit more found.

BIBLE QUILT by Harriet Powers (c 1885). Harriet Powers (1837 – 1910) was an African-American slave, folk artist, and quilt maker from rural Georgia. Only two of her quilts are known to have survived: Bible Quilt 1886 and Pictorial Quilt 1898. Powers began exhibiting her quilts and her first quilt, known as the Bible Quilt, was shown at the Athens cotton Fair in 1886. 

Jennie Smith, an artist and art teacher from the Lucy Cobb Institute, saw the quilt at the fair and asked to buy it, but Powers refused to sell. The two women remained in touch and later Powers agreed to sell the piece for five dollars. As Powers sold the quilt explained the imagery and Smith recorded explanations in her personal diary.

Mando s3 predictions

This is almost entirely a shitpost, but the idea came to me the other day, and won’t let itself go.

I’m probably not going to ever bother writing this, but it amuses me greatly to think of them this way.

Fennec Shand is handsome, clever, and rich, and rules the town of Mos Espa alongside her best friend, the Daimyo Boba Fett. Since consolidating their control of the sector, there has been little to distress or vex them.

- Fennec as Emma

- Boba as Mr. Knightley

- (they’re kind of both Emma and both Mr. Knightley, and also both kind of Mr. Woodhouse) (Boba moreso though)

- The people of Mos Espa are the broad concept of Mr. Woodhouse? Somehow.

- The Majordomo as Bartholomew the long-suffering manservant?

- Din as Harriet (Because he is The New Girl, & kind of also Jane Fairfax, because he is also Mysterious and That Bitch)

- Cobb as Robert Martin (he already is kind of Boba’s tenant farmer)

- Taanti as Mrs. Martin Senior

- The Tuskens who helped with the Kryat dragon as the Martin sisters

- the Armorer would be Mrs. Goddard… Paz as one of the schoolgirls (lmao)

- Drash and Jo as Miss Taylor and “Ms.” Weston

- Boba gives Drash away at the wedding and is beside himself with joy

-though he does do a bit of "poor Miss Taylor"-ing about how Drash is moving to Freetown

- Din asks, “Who cried most?” (it was Taanti) (Din wasn't there bc he had to go get the Armorer and Paz)

- Peli as Miss Bates (and R4 as Mrs. Bates) (I’m thinking like the 2020 version where Mrs. Bates doesn’t talk at all until the very end and then won’t shut up)

- The other gotras would be the Coles etc

- The Modifier as Dr. Perry

- DENGAR AND MANAROO AS JOHN AND ISABELLA

- We can probably throw Bossk in there for no good reason for the Christmas Life Day dinner scene

- Highbury is Tatooine broadly/Mos Espa specifically

- The Palace is Donwell Abbey ... and also Hartfield

- The Parish is like, the abstract concept of (Bo-Katan's version of) the Mandalorian Way

- Brighton (or is it Bath he goes to??) is Mandalore?

- London is Coruscant ofc

- The Churchills’ estates are the abstract concept of the Jedi order

- Ford’s would be Garsa’s sanctuary

- BO-KATAN WOULD BE MR. ELTON (broadly)

- The portrait would instead be Bo-Katan suggesting to Din (& maybe Boba’s there too) that they make Fennec a cuirasse & new helmet (not of beskar, but at least in the Mandalorian style)

- Carriage scene, “I was flirting with Din for political reasons, for the darksaber! I was trying to get you to like me to get close to Boba! I don’t care about any of you, I only care about Mandalore!”

- All her other Mando gang would be Mrs. Elton, being kind of annoying and disrespectful & weirdly familiar to Mr. Knightley but also the best/funniest part of the whole thing

- Luke would also be both Jane Fairfax and Frank Churchill… Because he is Also Mysterious and That Bitch

- All the secret Jane Fairfax shit is Luke keeping all the Jedi stuff/his Skywalker backstory kind of secret

- Leia and Han as Miss Campbell and Mr. Dixon!

- the seaside incident = the Sarlacc incident??? (I mean Han has saved Luke’s ass so many times—“that’s two you owe me, junior”)

- Luke letting Grogu go back to Din would be the pianoforte…GROGU IS THE PIANOFORTE

- Everyone (at least Bo-Katan) assumes it’s some kind of rescue mission or ultimatum by Boba but no, Luke let Grogu choose

- Luke did Din a great service!! (rescuing Grogu!!) (LIKE FRANK & HARRIET AND THE TRAVELERS)

- this situation would be the Travelers Incident (=> The Pity Dance) = Hearing Grogu's Call (=> Letting Grogu Choose)

- And then Boba (Mr. Knightley) can get over his dislike of Luke (Frank Churchill) since he helped Din (& Grogu) (Harriet)!!!

- any flirting with Fennec would be all Luke "I'm pure sunshine, charming naturally" Skywalker

- we shall have our ball indeed...

- Mr. Knightley sending his carriage would be Boba going to personally pick up Din, Cobb, Drash, & Jo from Freetown for their little event...

- Still need to include the Mr. Knightley singing with Jane scene....

- but would this be Luke or Din as Jane?? 😱 THIS WOULD BE DIN, THEY'D BE SINGING A MANDO SONG AND BO-KATAN WOULD BE LIKE 😡 that should be me... 

- The Strawberry picking outing at Donwell Abbey would be some kind of Mandalorian holiday… 

- Boba just hangs out with Din the whole time, 

- ignoring Bo-Katan, who is trying to set Din up as a governess her kind of Mandalorian (maybe even to help take care of foundlings??) so she’s heated

- Luke arrives late and is like 🤷‍♀️ I’m not a Mando, guess I'll leave

- Fennec is like, I’m not either, but Boba invited you to show favor to Grogu & by extension Din

- (He wanted to sit down with Din & Bo-Katan & Boba and explain about Tarre Vizsla, how Grogu can walk the way of the Mandalore while still following Jedi teachings, but the vibes are atrocious)

- He says, when I am missed… tell the othersFennec is like, okay fine, leave then

- Luke is like [shocked Pikachu face]

- Box Hill as a pod race instead???

- Fennec says something [unintentionally] nasty to Peli about how junk can still win

- It’s only funny when Peli says that herself…

- Of course Din takes Peli's side, so Cobb does too

- Even the Mods are like, be careful what you call junk...

- Badly done, Fennec!

- Boba cheers Peli up by lettering her work on his “antique” (he grits his teeth when he says it ... but for real that ship has been around for a while lol)
