#Jon Stein

[ghost-is-gone-18]

My TMA headcannon is that Jon doesn't hate poetry, he just really hates anything written before the 1900s. Like I see Jon reading "The Wasteland" by T.S. Eliot and eating that shit up. He's just a modernist girlie and I support him.

On the other hand, Martin fucking HATES Eliot. He thinks the poems are inaccessible (fair) and their subject matter is far too depressing. The only poem form Eliot he likes is "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," and even then he tries not to read it too frequently because it hits a little too close to home.

Jon keeps telling him that Keats is even more inaccessible, but Martin won't hear it. Every time this argument comes up, Martin brings up Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats and Jon goes fucking ballistic. These two cannot talk about poetry with one another because it almost always causes a physical altercation.

The short month of February brings some interesting titles to Netflix in 2024, and you can always count on What's New to Netflix to inform you of all the latest and lamest stuff heading your way.

Later, we watch some hitmen struggle to take out some survivalists and fire jumpers after starting a deadly forest fire in Taylor Sheridan's Those Who Wish Me Dead from 2021. Then we glimpse a hyperrealistic look at life at a rundown motel in Sean Baker's The Florida Project from 2017. And last, a father and daughter have to hide their special mutant powers from the world in Freaks from 2018.

All of this plus Magic Mike's strange journey, the wrong Plus One movie, traditional sitcoms, James Spader, Love Is Blind chit-chat, Britney Spears at the Grand Canyon, little scoundrels, awards shows, and the unusual story of a guy that used to be an orange.

"Peer Gynt" (2019) - Erik Ulfsby

Films I've watched in 2023 (42/119)

A remarkable production in more ways than one.

Toralv Maurstad has for more than half a century, in Norway, been synonymous with the role of Peer Gynt. In this version he plays Peer as an old man looking back on his life, while seven other actors play Peer at various stages of life.

Ever present on stage, old Peer (Maurstad) and the Button Moulder (Svein Tindberg) observe as scenes from Peer's life are played out.

The costumes are interesting. While they're mostly white/grey, by the use of projected images and very carefully hit marks/positions on stage, several scenes start out with the characters seemingly in colourful, elaborate costumes.

Maurstad had suffered a stroke just a few years prior, so seeing him back on stage as Peer, at the age of 92, was extra special.

Thankfully it was recognised how important this production was as a piece of Norwegian theatre history, it was filmed and has been released on DVD by Naxos. I highly recommend getting and seeing it!

DC Pride 2023 #1, DC’s annual anthology containing all-new stories spotlighting LGBTQIA+ fan favorites, will be published on May 30. The 104-page Prestige format comic will feature an introduction by Phil Jimenez, a main cover by Mateus Manhanini, and open-to-order variant covers by Gabriel Picolo (wraparound), Jen Bartel (spot foil), and Oscar Vega (cardstock).

The DC Pride 2023 creative teams and the characters they are developing stories for include:

Jon Kent gets a comprehensive course in dark magic when John Constantine sics a golem on him. Tim Drake and Connor Hawke learn that there is nothing more awkward than reuniting with an old friend after you’ve both come out and one of you was indoctrinated by the League of Shadows for a while. Circuit Breaker struggles to stifle his powers after the Flash of Earth-11 leaps out of the time stream and knocks them both into another dimension. Just how far would Flashlight go to honor his lost love? Discover all these stories and many more in DC Pride 2023!

'We Are Your Friends' (2015) film

-watched 2/18/2023- 3 [3/4] stars- on Netflixdvd

This movie made me wish I was a young man again! Great Ending!!!

[arrowettexx]

DC CHARACTERS IN SOUL EATER UNIVERSE :

Weapons and meisters duos! :

BART AND CISSIE

WEPON - Bart

MEISTER - Cissie

EXPLANATION - just cuz.. ? but for real their connection is so strong that I feel like Barts physical weapon form wouldn’t really matter in the long run. I think that their soul resonance /connection would be so strong that they would rely most heavily on their combined energy that they would be heavily experienced in witch Hunter and Keishin Hunter (like spirit and stein)

JON AND DAMIAN

WEAPON : Jon

MEISTER : Damian

EXPLANATION : because they would literally be dead if it was the other way around 😻😻

JASON AND ROY

WEPON: jason

MEISTER: Roy

EXPLANATION: “ a weapon should always be ready to sacrifice themselves for their meister” and I feel like Jason would just take that more seriously than Roy🥲 but Jason will definitely turn into various guns or sum shit 😍

KON AND TIM

WEAPON : Kon

MEISTER : Timmy

EXPLANATION : I truly believe that Kon would be such a powerful weapon, but only with the help of Tim , Tim would make it his personal duty to make him a death scythe and my God he’d be so successful, they even each other out so well that their soul residence would be crazy

KARA AND BABS

WEAPON: Babs

MEISTER: Kara

EXPLANATION: literally no other reason than the fact that it would be so fucking funny to watch babs freak out over Kara throwing her all over the place and completely ignoring whatever plan babs told her to do kind of kinda like blackstar and Tsubaki type of thing

(I feel like Kara could definitely be half which half meister if we’re trying to let her physical strength come into play)

BOOSTER AND BLUE

WEPON: Blue beetle

MEISTER: Booster

EXPLANATION: because oh my gosh, that would be such a cute concept. Boosters need to show off would go perfectly and the fact that he’d be a big shiny weapon of some sort. Blue would make a perfect Meister for him because they even each other out and he would know how to deal perfectly with his energy making their soul residence so fucking powerful.

HAL AND BARRY

WEPON

> BOTH ASSFF

MEISTER

EXPLANATION : I.am.dead.convinced. that they would both be half weapon and Meister. I think they would fight like Lizz and Patty could where they would alternate between meister and weapon form and they would do it so smoothly that it would just work so well. and don’t get me started on their soul resonance,that shit would be so powerful. it would probably be terribly annoying to fight these two because every time the enemy would strike they would just trade forms .

If yes then LMK who you’d wanna see!!!

Favorite books??

(I mean everyone in your little family + you) 😇😇

Helloooo! Thank you for this ask! We have decided to list favorite books by ages for everyone below the cut! So, all of our favorite books as children, our favorite books as tweens, and our favorite books teens and adults!

And yes, each family member is responding to this ask!

Please note there is mention of Harry Potter, I (JIG) know the author/books are triggering to some, so please do not take offense to this, I just feel like the books would have been some read by one family member in particular wayyyyy before all the unsavory details came out.

Also, a lot of these books are my personal favorites, or they are books I actually dislike immensely…so my selfship kids liking them makes me laugh 😂.

Zach: As a child I was always partial to The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams and the Peter Rabbit books by Beatrix Potter. I also loved How The Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss. As a tween/teenager, I liked the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, the Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Ender’s Game Saga by Orson Scott Card. Now that I’m an adult, I’d have to say The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and 1984 by George Orwell are probably my favorite novels. 

Violet/JIG: As a little girl my favorite book was The Foot Book by Dr. Seuss, there was just something about the “here comes pig feet” line that cracked me up, I also adored Thunder Cake by Patricia Polacco. As a tween I loved Grandpa’s Mountain by Carolyn Reeder and the American Girls Books. As a teen and adult I’d say my favorite books were/are Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls, The Education of Little Tree by Forrest Carter (the best nonfiction book I’ve ever read), Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, The Fear Street Series by RL Stine, and anything by Mary Downing Hahn.

Varina: As a child my favorite books were Winnie-the-Pooh stories, my mom had an entire collection her parents collected for her and she read them to me and all my siblings! I also loved A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon, the Mr. Putter and Tabby books by Cynthia Rylant, and the Amelia Bedelia books by Peggy Parish. As a tween I enjoyed The Tale of Despereaux and the American Girls books. As an adult/teen my favorite books were/are Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, The Magic of Ordinary Days by Ann Howard Creel, and I adore any romance novel by Nicholas Sparks. 

Vera: When I was a little girl I loved the Fancy Nancy books by Jane O'Connor, any and all princess books, the Biscuit books by Alyssa Satin Capucilli, and the Junie B. Jones Books by Barbara Park. As a tween I read the American Girl books, but only I enjoyed a few of the series, Samantha was my absolute favorite! I also loved The Secret Garden and A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, and The Wish by Gail Carsen Levine. My favorite books during my teenage years, and as an adult, are The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, any of William Shakespeare’s plays (Romeo and Juliet is my favorite), and Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. 

Victor: When I was little my favorite book was Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss, my favorite book series was Curious George by Margret and H. A. Rey. During my tween years I read any Goosebumps book by RL Stein I could get my hands on, I also read all The Chronicles of Narnia books by C.S. Lewis, and A Series of Unfortunate Events books by Lemony Snicket.  My favorite book as a teenager was The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton, and my favorite book series as a teenager were Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs and the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. My all time favorite book as an adult is Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer.

Vallen: The Wonky Donkey by Craig Smith was my favorite book as a kid, it was freaking hilarious, and the sequel was almost as good. I also loved the Clifford books by Norman Bridwell as a kid, and the No David books by David Shannon. As a tween I read a bunch of the Goosebumps books by RL Stine. Victor and I were in competition to see who could read the most, he won of course, the dedicated bookworm. In my teenage years and into adulthood my favorites have become The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, The Giver Quartet by Lois Lowry, and The Wayward Pines Trilogy by Blake Crouch.

Victoria: When I was a little girl I loved all of the Eric Carle books, The Very Hungry Caterpillar being my favorite! I also loved all the Little Golden Books, I think my favorite one was My Little Golden Book About God by Jane Werner Watson. Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White, Each Little Bird that Sings by Deborah Wiles, and the Little House on the Prairie Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder were my favorite books during my tween years. As a teenager I enjoyed reading the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children book series by Ransom Riggs and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. As an adult I’d say my favorite books are Wish You Well by David Baldacci or Go Down the Mountain by Meredith Battle.

Okinawa by Susumu Higa A peaceful, independent kingdom until its annexation by the Japanese Empire in the 19th century, Okinawa was the site of the most destructive land battle of the Pacific War. Today, the archipelago is Japan’s poorest prefecture and unwilling host to 75% of all US military bases in Japan. Okinawa is a harrowing document of war, but it is also a work which addresses the…

DC Pride 2023 by Nicole Maines, Christopher Cantwell, Paulina Ganucheau and various. Variant covers by (1) Jen Bartel, (2) Oscar Vega and wraparound variant (3) by Gabriel Picolo. Out at the end of May.

"DC Pride is back again with a brave and bold and all-new collection of stories starring DC’s fan-favorite stable of LGBTQIA+ characters—many of whom will find themselves in thrilling team-ups the likes of which you’ve never seen before! Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy go to extreme measures to get a little alone time… but there’s nowhere on the planet Crush can’t crash! Jon Kent gets a comprehensive course in dark magic when John Constantine sics a golem on him. Tim Drake and Connor Hawke learn that there’s nothing more awkward than reuniting with an old friend after you’ve both come out and one of you was indoctrinated by the League of Shadows for a while. Circuit Breaker struggles to stifle his powers after the Flash of Earth-11 leaps out of the time stream and knocks them both into another dimension. Just how far would Flashlight go to honor his lost love? All these stories and many more in DC Pride 2023! This year’s anthology also includes:

An introduction by Phil Jimenez!

A 5-page preview of Dreamer’s YA debut written by Nicole Maines and drawn by Rye Hickman!

A parade of pinups by Babs Tarr, Maria Llovet, Brandt & Stein, Noah Dao, Travis G. Moore, and more!"
