Happy 21st Birthday Sadie!

It's a dorm surprise party for our girl! 🥳

(more under the cut!)

Sadie deserved a celebration for her 21st birthday in May, but since I did not have a lot of story to tell here, I decided to go for mostly free gameplay and threw a party for everyone in "Student Residence A" (I still haven't changed the name of this dorm, LOL) and a few attached extras. Below is a collection of random pictures I shot while leaving this lot to their own devices—well, for the most part.

"It immediately made me think of you..."

(Is there ever a moment when he doesn't? 😉)

"Rach? I thought Sadie and Finn were a couple?"

(You're right, Malte, they are. But let's say it's complicated...)

Trouble in paradise for Georgia and Dan?

Do you see him? I see him. She doesn't...

Georgia isn't making friends at this party...

Maybe it's time to lay off the juice, Sade...

Guess not.

As people were either drunk or leaving, or both, James ended the night with a guitar solo. And the love triangle is still very much a thing...

-------------------------------------------------

This party wasn't as much ***PARTY!!!*** as I had hoped, but that's this game for you. It has ideas of its own. 😊

I'll leave you with two bonus shots:

This is what Malte does at a party...

...and this is what Rachel does!

A match made in heaven, I tell you! More on Rachel and Malte in the upcoming chapter!

The models in the top photo wearing leotards by John French have all now been identified. The often misidentified mystery model, on the left in white, is Christine Eastley posing behind Pattie Boyd with Jill Kennington, Sue Murray, Celia Hammond and Tania Mallet in 1965.

The second photo features Twiggy posing with Christine Eastley and (sitting) Jane Lumb, circa 1967.

The third photo of Christine Eastley was identified in a post shared by model Moyra Swan in the Facebook group: I Heart Sixties Models/Fashion. Dated 13 Dec 1966 at Getty Images.

While we’re talking about Candace Cameron Bure and her network GAC

we should also be thinking about other actors who’ve been working with the homophobic network and apply the same criticism to them. 

Under the cut is a few different people working with the network. Unless they’ve spoken out against Candace and the Network, they’re profiting from the homophobic nature of the network. 

That includes Jill Wagner of Teen Wolf

Jennie Garth

Chad Michael Murray and Jessica Lowndes

Becca Tobin

Trevor Donovan

Sam Page

I’m imagining crossover: 

Quincey Harker being Pevensie’s sibling father

Why do they not have his surname? I dunno maybe  some rumors about Harkers were intense and he decided to have his wife’s name

Peter Pevensie is named after Peter’s Hawkins. 

Lucy Pevensie is named after Lucy Westernra. Why not first daughter? Well I dunno maybe he or/and his wife had other person to honour

Edmund was‘was the sort of person who knows about railways’ cause he got that interest after his grandmother and she also kept teaching him about it. She sometimes jokingly refered to him as ‘Train fiend in training’ 

He also liked criminal stories due to his grandfather profession. He sometimes heard converstation with clients and also sometimes peaked into documents, and Jonathan tried to teach him about confidentality and finally had to lock better. Except oblivious Seward didn’t see anything weird in a preschool kid asking him how to pick a lock. Jonathan finally just started to buy him detective stories.

Van Helsing was Digory’s proffesor at university. Digory felt vibe’had same sort of adventure but also not’ from him and he couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Digory later became tutor there himself and Quincey was learning there and he was his tutor. He once heard him talking to Van Helsing and asked how they know each other personally and Van Helsing said he is his parents friends. Digory somehow became friend wiht both Van Helsing and Quincey and he once meet also Jonathan, Mina, John and Arthur and felt the same vibe from them as from Van Helsing. 

Digory and Quinncey stil had contact over the years but mostly through letters. They of course still had enough good contact not only for Digory to let Quincey’s children live him during air raids but also for oldest to come when Digory had smaller home and Quincey and his wife went to USA and couldn’t bring all children.

After first visit to Narnia Digory mentioned to Pevensie sibling that their grandparents seemed ‘to had adventures of same sort but also not’. They understood what he meant when they saw their grandparents again. 

One of differences is that Jonathan and Mina react with sort of...at same little scare but also relief and melancholy if snow comes in November while Pevensie silbing just with scare.

When Quincey, his wife and Susan were in America he showed them all places his parents and their friends went with him and told him about stories Quincey Morris had there. 

One day Jonathan and Mina decided to tell Peter and Susan their story when they decided both are old enough (or rather, that Susan is old enough, they didn’t want to tell story four times in short amounts of time so they wanted to tell both Peter and Susan when Susan would be old enough, and Edmund and Lucy when Lucy would be old enough)

Susan noped out right at the beggining, when Jonathan arrived at the castle and she realized this going to be ‘that superstisious people were right’ story and decided grandparents probably started having dementia and mixing nightmares with reality. Jonathan said how he was trapped for two months by Dracula and Susan just said that that doesn’t mean guy was a vampire but might have give Jonathan nightmares.

Peter blurted out ‘He wanted to drink your blood? And have no refltection in mirror? But he is awake during the day and nothing happens to him? He is different from vampires in Narnia’ (Yes, I think there are vampires in Narnia cause of that part during Aslan’s death: ‘ 'I won’t describe because if I did the grown-ups would probably not let you read this book ‘ I meann yeah right aafter this is ‘ Cruels and Hags and Incubuses, Wraiths, Horrors, Efreets, Sprites, Orknies, Wooses, and Ettins ‘ so it coulld be that though he not described he named creatures...But I haven’t seen any horror/mysthological/fantasy crrature names ‘horrors’ so. That could be vampires. ...And yes I know that there were more of creatures in daylight but whatever. Vampires were not there but were more of others) And Jonathan and Mina were like ‘what?’ . So Peter said generally, that they discovered magical land, had to defeat evil queen, became kings and queens, ruled for fifteen years, how they had to hunt remaining witch’s forces for few years, including vampires, and how they returned and returned to their ages.

Jonathan and Mina decided that they need to hear more about this later, Jonathan was little worried about ‘returning to their ages part’. They also decided that Edmund and Lucy are actuallly not to young to hear story so they decided to tell them three full story next time then they come.

Then they came next time Jonathan first relate his castle Dracula experience and after that he asks them about ‘returing to their age’ since ‘You see, since I see Dracula grow younger this worries me’. They say that they literally grow younger while walking through wardrobe so they it’s not like they would have time to drink any blood even if they were vampires? And whose blood anyway each other? Jonathan is calmed.

Edmund is a more than a little uneasy everytime they mention vampire having very pale face and very red lips, but he hid it. 

Later when Mina says about Bloofer Lady still looking like Lucy, but more beautiful Lucy says ‘oh that’s how that sounds like that picture of me I saw in this spell book next to spell I was tempted to use’ and everyone is like ‘What?’ including Peter and even Edmund cause she completely forgot about that fact right after using eavesdropping spell so she never told anyone. She just said ‘But I never used that spell and I wasn’t very pale or had veryred lips on that picture anyway’ looking at Jonathan’s terrified face.

Peter, Edmund and Lucy kinda shaked when they heard about snow in November. When Jonathan and Mina asked them about that when ending their story and they decided to just tell story since the beggining.

Jonathan got really worried when hearing about Lucy going with stranger and being hypnotized to sleep, but he was relieved when he heard about him getting her back to wardrobe. ‘That sounds kind of like Mr Reinfield, doesn’t it?’ Mina asked.

When Lucy got to Edmund going to White Witch, Jonathan asked to go back and for Edmund to tell his side of story. When Lucy said that Aslan said that there is no need to talk about it, cause what past is past, Jonathan is like ‘Yeah, whatever, I’m not going to judge him, BUT I NEED TO KNOW’

So Edmund says about how he followed Lucy and met White Witch and he described what he though when seeing her ‘ 'Her face was white — not merely pale, but white like snow or paper or icing-sugar, except for her very red mouth. It was a beautiful face in other respects, but proud and cold and stern.' and Jonathan like. Got a full panic attack. He started checking if Edmund has pulse, and if he does not have bite marks, and if his teeth are not too sharp. Edmund tried to explain that she was not a vampire, and even is she was she wanted to get rid of them why would she want any of them to rise as vampire? Jonathan says that  he doesn’t know if Dracula wanted to turn him or not, but he certainly didn’t want to reveal he is a vampire before throwing away his mirror, yet allmost drunk his blood then, so White Witch did need to want, to turn Edmund to drunk his blood. Lucy said that White Witch does not exaclty fit description of vampires from either Earth or Narnia, since she didn’t have that afwul smell, and while Narnia vampires didn’t have it,she also could stand in the sun, but she also had this unnatural beauty that Narnia vampires don’t really have? And also doesn’t matter cause even if she did bite Edmund Lucy is sure Aslan undid that. Peter asks if she doesn’t fit descrption of either Narnia or Earth vampires really matter, cause proffesor Kirke said she went to Earth and then to Narnia from yet other world. Jonathan is kinda like’...He also was in other wolrd, and also in other other world and he also met that woman?’ Peter, Edmund and Lucy said to him and Mina what Digory and Polly said to them. 

When Lucy point out that Aslan killed White Witch, and then Dracula was killed Mina stopped turning into vampire, so Edmund is safe anyway, Jonathan says that it was how it was vampire from Earth and who knows how it might work with vampire from that world from which Jadis came. And Edmund worryingly points out that even in Narnia world there were other kinds of sea-people, so they might be other kinds of vampires in one world itself. 

When Peter, Edmund and Lucy comes back to telling their story, Jonathan really isn’t less worried. When Edmund says at onne point, that when he was in sledge he tried to convince himself it was a dream, and ‘And as they went on, hour after hour, it did come to seem like a dream.’ Jonathan is almost panicking again. When they come to ‘lawful prey’ 'His blood is my property’ and ‘unless I have blood’ he fully panicked for few minutes and saying how Jadis meant killing, but not drinking blood he id not calm down, cause why such phrasing. 

 Edmund says he can hold crucifixes, receive communion and eat garlic so all is okay. Jonathan is not sure. 

Once Jonathan and Mina met all friends of Narnia and Polly said about Susan something similar to what she said in Last Battle aka ‘she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. Her whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one's life as quick as she can and then stop there as long as she can.’ and Mina, Peter, Edmund and Lucy are like ‘Why did you have to say that?’ cause Jonathan is. Panicking again. What if she meet vampire and she willignly let herself be turned. When he meet Susan again he speaks about how good it to grow old. Susan is like...okay but why are you telling me this. 

When Eustace brought up ‘What will on Earth when we die here?’ and when he later says ‘Or if they found two — I mean, if we're dead over there in England.’ he wanted to say ‘two bodies’ but then thought ‘what if we would became vampires there?’ but wanted to throw away that thought so changed phrasing and he later was little afraid when Jill says she will rather die in Narnia than grow old on Earth he is like ‘Wth do you mean you wouldn’t want to grow old good that you didn’t say that when meet my cousins grandparents you would not have head already’ so he changed subject quickly to being killed by railways.

Sometime after their Quincey’s, his wife, Peter, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace’s, Digory’s, Polly’s and Jill’s death, Mina saw that Jonathan was super worried and decided to ask Seward to help them to break to cementary at night and they checked if no one turned into vampire. Seward is a little worried what will happen if Jonathan’s worries turn out to be correct, but he believes they are not so risks it. However he shares this worries with Arthur so Arthur also goes with them in case. Thankfully Edmund’s body is rotting normally. Jonathan decided to check others just in case and everything is ok. 

Susan was late at graveyard, as first snow after her siblings death made her recall Narnia, and noticed whole break-in. And when they got out she shouted at them ‘WHAT WERE YOU DOING!?’

They explained and she was like. What. While she did recall Narnia by that time but she completely forgot about that time Jonathan and Mina tried to tell her story about vampires. She realized she didn’t want to listen to it because she subconsciously felt that it will make her recall Narnia. Now she was ready to listen.

The detective has been previously played, as an Inspector, by both John Hannah and Ken Stott.

Rebus

The six-part series has been adapted for the screen by Gregory Burke who reimagines the character earlier in his career. Detective Sergeant John Rebus is drawn into a violent criminal conflict that turns personal when his brother Michael, a former soldier, crosses the line into criminality. Rebus finds himself torn between protecting his brother and enforcing the law to bring Michael to justice.

Gregory Burke To Adapt Ian Rankin’s Rebus Series as Eleventh Hour Drama Black Watch. Both adaptations, have Richard Rankin’s participation. Based on interviews with former soldiers, it tells the story of troops from the then Black Watch regiment serving in Iraq. The play toured around the world and went on to win four Olivier Awards.

The series promises to explore family, morality and class in an emotionally charged story, set against the Scottish landmarks that Rankin’s readers know so well.

Joining Richard Rankin (Outlander), the series also stars Lucie Shorthouse (Bulletproof), Brian Ferguson (The Ipcress File) and Amy Manson (The Nevers). Plus, Neshla Caplan, Noof Ousellam, Stuart Bowman, Caroline Lee Johnson, Sean Buchanan, Thoren Ferguson and Michelle Duncan.

Filming took place in Glasgow and Edinburgh last year.

Author Ian Rankin says:

“I’m thrilled that Rebus is coming to the BBC. A great cast and a compelling story – I really can’t wait for viewers to see it.”

“I am thrilled that Rebus will premiere on the BBC. It’s been an honour taking on the role of Ian Rankin’s renowned John Rebus. A character enjoyed by so many in such a fresh and original adaptation.”

“In her book But I Love Him, Dr. Jill Murray offers a list of warning signs that a relationship is clouded by infatuation. Some of these include:

Physical and sexual attraction is central.

They are characterized by urgency, intensity, sexual desire, and anxiety.

They are driven by the excitement of being involved with a person whose character is not fully known.

They involve nagging doubts and unanswered questions; the partner remains unexamined so as not to spoil the dream.

They are consuming, often exhausting.

They entail discomfort with individual differences.

If you ever find yourself in a relationship in which these signs are present, don't rush into a deeper level of commitment. Also, don't accept a wedding proposal, hoping to resolve serious relationship issues before the wedding date. Deal with them now, instead of hoping that the glitter of a diamond and the romantic thoughts of marriage will make your problems disappear.”

Lingthusiasm Episode 76: Where language names come from and why they change

Language names come from many sources. Sometimes they’re related to a geographical feature or name of a group of people. Sometimes they’re related to the word for “talk” or “language” in the language itself; other times the name that outsiders call the language is completely different from the insider name. Sometimes they come from mistakes: a name that got mis-applied or even a pejorative description from a neighbouring group.

In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about how languages are named! We talk about how naming a language makes it more legible to broader organizations like governments and academics, similar to how birth certificates and passports make humans legible to institutions. And like how individual people can change their names, sometimes groups of people decide to change the name that their language is known by, a process that in both cases can take a lot of paperwork.

Read the transcript here. 

Announcements:

We’re doing another Lingthusiasm liveshow! February 18th (Canada) slash 19th (Australia)! (What time is that for me?) We'll be returning to one of our fan-favourite topics and answering your questions about language and gender with returning special guest Dr. Kirby Conrod! (See Kirby’s previous interview with us about the grammar of singular they.)

This liveshow is for Lingthusiam patrons and will take place on the Lingthusiasm Discord server. Become a patron before the event to ask us questions in advance or live-react in the text chat. This episode will also be available as an edited-for-legibility recording in your usual Patreon live feed if you prefer to listen at a later date. In the meantime: tell us about your favourite examples of gender in various languages and we might include them in the show! In this month’s bonus episode we get enthusiastic about some of our favourite deleted bits from previous interviews that we didn't quite have space to share with you. Think of it as a special bonus edition DVD from the past two years of Lingthusiasm with director's commentary and deleted scenes from interviews with Kat Gupta, Lucy Maddox, and Randall Munroe. Join us on Patreon now to get access to this and 70+ other bonus episodes, as well as access to the Lingthusiasm Discord server where you can chat with other language nerds, and get access to our upcoming liveshow!
