Who’s the scariest on the ship

That Would Be Nastya! By A Significant Proportion.

Thank Goodness She Mostly Sticks To The Innermost Workings Of The Aurora And Yells At Us If We Ever Attempt To Leave The O'Neill Ring (Except To Go Planetside, Which I'm Fairly Certain She Likes Us Leaving The Best). I Am Quite Thankful For The Aurora In That Regard, Because It Would Be Awfully Dreadful For Nastya To Be Left Without A Good Pretending Toy Just Because She Finds Me Distasteful.

Fictive Call!

I've debated doing this for a while; motivated by the results of the 2024 election, I've finally decided to give it a try. Even though my system mates who have tried had no luck. Am Enjorlas "based" off the 2013 West end Cast! Les Amis de l'ABC are as fallows:

Marius: Rob Houchen

Grantaire: Adam Linstead

Combeferre: Jonny Purchase

Courfeyrac: Rhidian Marc

Feuilly:  Oliver Savile

Joly: Dougie Carter

Lesgles: James Gant

Prouvaire: Leo Roberts

Me:  Anton Zetterholm

Gavroche: Ilan Galkoff

Am more than willing to talk with anyone, even if not from "my" universe. The body is 33 as of 2024, female but prefers to be referred to as male, & has learning & physical disabilities. As with the rest of the Les Amis, we were reincarnated again in all female bodies & were on a soccer team, with a lot of "Phantom of the Opera" people in the same situation, & we all perished when on the way home from a game our busses fell off a cliff due to an accident.

"based" off this video

Erik is in the system as well & we're still together. If you choose contact, please don't fall off the face of the earth...we're online every day & would like a friendship that can accommodate that!

In this photo from 2001, Thom plays a Korg that I'm not proficient enough to identify. I'm not able to find this Korg attached to him on the website, so I'd like to know what he is playing here and for what song. I'm most baffled by Colin playing upright bass, which may leave YAWA & Pyramid Song, for which I believe he neither played a Korg, so I am stumped!

Thank you very much for the submission!

This photo is doubtless from a performance of Motion Picture Soundtrack. During 2000 and 2001, Thom experimented with various digital organ keyboards for performances of the song. He paired the organs with an Electro-Harmonix Micro Synthesizer effects pedal in order to get a more distorted sound, presumably to better emulate the crunchiness of the late-1800s Putnam & Co pump organ/harmonium used on the original recording. Colin likely played the same double bass as in the photo, a South Korean student model bass, for the studio recording of the song. However, the harps on the studio recordings are samples which Jonny processed. The choir near the end is also a sample, specifically one from the 1963 film Donovan's Reef (this was identified by casiopeia67).

Jonny sitting at the band's Putnam and Co pedal organ at Radiohead's studio during the recording of In Rainbows in 2006-2007. It's worth noting that this is the same instrument that the band used for Thinking About You on Pablo Honey (listen at the very end of the song to hear the same mechanical noises from the organ as during Motion Picture Soundtrack). The band purchased it from Chipping Norton when that studio closed down in 1999.

The particular digital organ visible here is a Korg CX-3 — specifically the version produced from 1979-1991. The later digital version, produced from 2001-2011, has the "CX-3" model number printed on the back panel next to the "Korg" logo. At a glance, the CX-3 looks very similar to Jonny’s Hammond XB-2. Both have a single manual of 61 waterfall-style keys, both have wooden cabinets, and both have a set of drawbars in a control panel to the left of the keyboard. These similarities are unsurprising, as both are “clone-wheels”: replicas of Hammond tone-wheel organs meant to be more portable than a vintage B3. But perhaps the most notable difference between the keyboards is that the original CX-3 used analog technology, while both the later CX-3 and the Hammond XB-2 used a digital sound engine.

Thom playing an organ during Motion Picture Soundtrack in Toronto in 2000. Note the EHX Micro-Synthesizer pedal on top of the pedal. In addition to it, there is also a direct box and what appears to be a small speaker (presumably serving as a monitor).

In fact, although we’ve written that Thom borrowed the XB-2 for performances in 2000, it’s possible that he in fact used the CX-3. The keyboards are extremely similar in a side-profile, particularly in the blurry footage we have of the band’s show in Toronto on October 17, 2000. The 2000 tour seems to be one of their worst-documented, so hopefully someone can dig up some more photos or footage.

Here are a couple photos of the control panels of an original Korg CX-3 (left) and a Hammond XB-2 (right) (Audiofanzine: CX-3, XB-2). The similar placement of the drawbars and buttons makes the keyboards hard to distinguish. However, the XB-2 has an additional panel beneath the keyboard with buttons and a small LCD display (these extra buttons control a variety of features, from vibrato tuning to preset selection). In contrast, the Korg has an overall thicker wooden cabinet. The newer version of the CX-3 has an added panel above keyboard for the drawbars, which makes it easy to distinguish.

Jonny playing his Hammond XB-2 during Nude (then called Big Ideas) at a soundcheck on April 17, 1998 at the Radio City Music Hall in New York (source: Meeting People is Easy).

Jonny Herbert designed this white chiffon gown with large colorful circles in the 1960s. One of them was purchased by Janie Bryant for use on January Jones as Betty Draper in the 2008 second season of Mad Men, in the episode entitled A Night to Remember. The dress was dubbed by Bryant as Betty’s “Sad Clown Dress.”

The dress seems to have gone on to live another life in the 2023 series Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, where it was worn by an extra in the episode Or at the High School Dance…The dress is the same one worn by January Jones, as the colors and placement of the dots line up exactly.

A version of this dress was sold on Etsy, and the listing offers more details about the design and materials.

Upriver, Downriver is now available!

So, a while back we ran a Kickstarter for a tarot-infused magical river game called Upriver, Downriver, and we’re pleased to announce it’s now available for general purchase through our website!

Upriver, Downriver is a queer fantasy tabletop roleplaying game about sailing along a magical river, and persisting on an impossible journey. Inspired by the Tarot, it was written by our dear friend Ella Watts, with development and editing by Sasha and layout (and river design) by Jonny. It also has some fantastic art by Max Degan and Cael Lyons.

Together, you and your crew will swear a magical oath to reach either the Source of the Great River or the Sea. No one has ever come back from either destination, and each has their own challenges and rewards. But, whatever bends your journey takes, once you’ve sworn your Oath, your soul is committed to continue on towards your goal. Even in death, your ghost will be bound to your Oath and your ship, compelled to complete your voyage.

During your travels, you'll visit enchanting, enigmatic and hostile locations along the River. Each location is tied to one of the major arcana, and is home to its own unique characters and challenges. Your trials and triumphs are determined by dice and tarot cards. What you do with the hand that fate and the River deals is up to you.

It’s a beautiful game, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how it came out, so check it out at our webstore!

How I've missed you

Wait for me.

He said, mounting his horse and tipping his hat goodbye.

I’ll be back.

He said as he rode towards sunset. Until he was nothing more than a speck in the distance.

You’ll wait for him, but the question is how long? A month? A year? A decade? D was, after all, immortal, absolute. The time for him flows differently for you. One human lifespan is nothing but a blink of an eye for him.

You’ve never stayed in one place this long. You’re a nomad, drifting from one corner of Frontier to another. It made your feet twitch, aching to be on the road once more. But you couldn’t. How else he’ll find you? If he’d even look for you. You shook your head to shake off that thought. You can’t let them slink their way into your heart. D would never abandon you, ha made a promise and he keeps his promises.

Your deprecating musing was interrupted when you reached the door from your caravan. You ran your fingers over the cracked paint before reaching for the doorknob. A small, but cozy interior of your lodgings greeted you. Old, patterned scarf pinned over one wall, a small tin stove, a bunk in the far end, candles, and colorful trinkets hanging everywhere. It wasn’t much but you loved this place. The wheels attached to your home gave you the feeling that you can leave wherever you can and whenever you want.

You settled a bag with a piece of bread and cheese you’d managed to purchase for that little coin you had. When you heard squeaking followed by scratching of small claws over the worn wooden floor. Slicing off a bit of cheese, you crooned at the small thing creeping its way toward you.

You found Lettie when They were digging through your garbage in the middle of the night. You started leaving them with leftovers. One day you came home and found them lying at the foot of your bed, waiting for you. You have a pet now, you guess… Even though you have no idea what Lettie is, or even its gender. Just another creation of genetic tinkering done by Nobles.

“He’s gonna love you, I’m sure.” You told the creature as you ran your fingers over the sleek fur. It doesn’t respond, of course, but no matter. Just like with D, you don’t always need him to add to your conversations. You can do all the talking by yourself.

Slipping your hands under Lettie’s belly, you lifted them and carried them to your bunk. You flopped onto the bed and held Lettie close to your chest, before lifting them above your head. The animal's glossy eyes stared dispassionately at you.

“Look at you, getting all mopey.” Your voice took a high-pitched quality to resemble Lettie’s squeaks and, as you enunciate the words, you bounce the creature as if it’s talking to you.

“What do you know! I’m allowed to miss him every once in a while!”

“What would D say if he knew you were so anxious for his return?”

“Hush, I know he comes back.” You settled Lettie back on your chest, the animal was finally allowed to rest.

After a beat of silence, you whispered, “He always came back.”

You were woken up by a loud banging on the caravan’s door. You slogged towards the door whilst trying to blink away the blurriness in your vision. A distressed face of one of the villagers greeted you. It was the old man Johnson, he owned a farm on the outskirts of the town.

“Thank Krist! I thought you were never gonna answer!” The man spitted at you, face ruddy and eyes bulging.

“It better be good Jonny.” You grumbled passively at him.

“Harpies!” The man choked out. “A whole swarm of them!! They’re tearing apart my stock. I was…ah…

The farmer didn’t get the chance to finish the sentence as you walked out of the door with a golden blade in your hand. Johnson stumbled after you, eyes trained on the blade. Where in the seven hell did gypsy like you get their hands on such a weapon?? It was engraved with strange symbols with the dragon's head at the base of the blade, blood-red ruby eyes piercing into him.

You arrived at the ranch at the exact moment when one harpy clutched a frightened sheep in its claws. Just as the night perpetrator lifts the poor animal into the sky, a soft swoosh of a blade sings through the air. The harpy falls down with a blood-curdling screech, which alerts other harpies. They leave the flock and train their beady eyes on you. With a steadying exhale, you readjust your stance and point the sword in their direction, the golden blade gleaming in the moonlight.

The harpies all dive onto you in unison. However, their talons only grab air as you propel yourself upwards, your upper body twisting clockwise to reach as far as possible with your sword. Some harpies dodge, others drop on grass like swatted flies. Johnson was so taken by the sight in front of him that he hadn’t realized he remained alone on the pasture. Nor did he notice a dark figure approaching him slowly but steadily, broad shoulders draped in a dark cloak casting a long shadow over him.

You were running out of stamina and you knew it. Your movements were slower, your senses grew more sluggish. You cried out in pain as one of Harpie’s talons dug into your shoulder whilst the other aimed for your neck. Luckily, you managed to lodge the blade between the two of you. A bead of sweat ran down your neck as you felt the strength leaving your arms, beasts maw moving closer and closer to you.

The beast has never learned your taste, for its head has been severed from its body before it could notice. Same for the other harpy, which finally made the imminent danger disappear, at least for today. You grunted as the sharp claws slipped out of the fresh wound and swayed on your legs dangerously. It took you several minutes of labored breathing and cursing before you registered the presence of another in front of you.

When you looked up, you almost fell down on your knees for good. There, illuminated by the moon, was D. Serene and unmoving as ever. Spine straight while his sword rested in his relaxed grip, still stained with harpies blood. You stared at him for a good minute or two, before wobbly walking towards him. That walk became, a somewhat sloppy run, and with the remaining strength, you propelled yourself forward and jumped into the hunter's arms. D simply extended his arms towards you, knowing better than to try and fight your theatrics. The impact from your bodies colliding made an ‘ooff’ puff out of your throat, but you haven’t released your clutch on him. After a moment of silence, you spent feverishly clutching onto him with fingers tangled in his hair, you untangle yourself from him far enough to be able to look at his face. You immediately took it into your hands and started examining the dhampir closely, making sure there wasn’t a single scratch on him.

Once you were satisfied with the results the dhampir was left open to your affections. You kissed his cheeks, his nose, his eyelids. Inch by inch you peppered his face with kisses while he held you hugged tightly to him. D’s lips twisted as he tried to fight a smile tugging at his mouth. He couldn’t fight the quiet giggle that slipped from them.

And the farmer could only stand there and gape in awe. Out of all the things he saw tonight, A dhampir being smothered with affection with the softest of smiles would be the most unbelievable of them all.

Schedule Mishaps

Fluff and some sexual innuendos

Summary: Jonathan brings his friends from the Wicked over his house, but he sees that a certain someone is already home.

——————————————————————————

❗ English is NOT my first language so be kind.

❗Every interaction is (sadly) purely fictional.

——————————————————————————

A/N: I don't know about you, but I really like the idea of the reader having a name and an occupation.

——————————————————————————

Interviews, press tours and seeing the same movie in a different outfit each time. He was used to spend months away filming, but he won't ever get used to all the aspects that were about promoting a film.

After the Wicked premiere in London, Jonathan decided that they (him, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Jeff Goldblum) needed to celebrate the success of the movie they starred in the british capital with a getaway to his seaside house, in order to relax without the concern of curious eyes.

He thought nothing and nobody would alter this innocuous plan, until he saw a car that wasn't his parked in the driveway.

"When did you get it Jon? Didn't hear you mention this new purchase." , asked Cynthia.

"It won't be the only thing you'll find out tonight." , Jonathan mumbled, before texting

"Who are you texting? Let me see." , Ariana looked at his conversation.

"One, with the owner of the car. And two no.", Jonathan replied.

"Well, let's get inside. Don't want Marce to wait." , Cynthia said.

"Wait you know him? I thought Jonathan's boyfriend was only in his mind", Ariana said.

"I'm sorry to disappoint, but he's very real." , Jeff added.

"How have I not met him yet?", Ariana asked.

"It's not like Jonathan wanted us to meet him. I saw them in his trailer, while Marcel had a towel wrapped around his waist, so it didn't take me long to figure that he's not just a friend." , Jeff admitted.

"Now everyone can meet him properly." , Jonathan said as he knocked on the door.

After a few moments a tall man, with y/h/c hair and y/e/c eyes opened the door.

"Stop acting like you don't have a key and come in." he said, looking at Jonathan. "I have a cake in the oven."

"Marcey!!" , Cynthia exclaimed.

"Oh my God! Hey, girl!" , Marcel answered, then hugged her. "For everyone who has no idea who I am, I'm Marce, or Marcel Wyrant if you're feeling formal, and I'm Jonny's boyfriend of almost 4 years. It's nice to meet you and I hope the feeling is reprocated."

"So, Marcel we heard that you're a great chef and I hoped that we could actually see if that's an astute assumption." , Jeff suggested.

"Ah, I see. They didn't have food at the premiere, didn't they? Well, I made something. Feel free to help yourself. I hope you like sushi because that's mostly what's there.", Marcel said.

"You're a miracle!", Jeff exhaled, as the three guests went to eat.

After the three guests left, Marce gestured with his index finger to Jonathan to come to him. He obliged and sat on his knee.

"Fancy a drink?" , Marcel asked.

"I'd fancy something else right now, but the cognac will have to do it." Jonathan answered, grinning mischievously.

"Don't even. You brought me last minute guests. I was lucky I'd prepared something in advance." , Marcel groaned in annoyance.

"Baby, come on. Didn't you miss me a little bit." , Jonathan pushed him on the couch and unbuttoned his shirt.

"It depends. Have you brought the boots from the set?" , the man beneath asked.

"Yes. They're in the suitcase in the bedroom." , the actor answered, struggling to not moan.

"Then let's take this to the next level, love", Marcel said before he carried his boyfriend bridal style (or hubby style in this case) to the bedroom.

( @scientist-cognizi hope you don't mind me putting this here while your asks are closed!)

*Jonny, reportedly, doesn't do Christmas. He's not sentimental, he doesn't see the point of celebrating a holiday about family dedicated to some guy on a random planet they visited a few times.*

*That means it definitely couldn't be him behind the gift left on Raphaella's bedside while she was in her lab. Of course not. It's not even wrapped, no name or card or anything. Just an unmarked box.*

*Inside is the following: *

*A fancy set of coloured gel pens. A new notepad with designs of chemical formulas and flasks around the edges. Several scrunchies made with themed fabric. And a pair of fingerless gloves, "purchased" on planet but customised with little stitched wings and symbols along the knuckles.*

For “Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest” 2015, I animated bits of Tom and Jerry animation which were combined with the famous original “Jonny Quest” opening. In order to match its style of “comic book” inks I inked the new animation drawings with a brush (after a trip to Carter-Sexton to purchase the needed art supplies). We were lucky to get Tim Matheson (the original voice of Jonny) to provide the voice of the president.

Jonny's Fender Acoustic

This photo of Jonny playing a Fender dreadnought acoustic was taken by his son Tamir.

To help publicize their upcoming Steve Reich Festival, The Hallé recently shared this photo of Jonny playing a Fender dreadnought acoustic guitar. Jonny will be playing Reich's Electric Counterpoint on the third (and final) day of the festival.

Back in November 2012, Jonny answered fan and celebrity questions in an article for Uncut magazine. Nicolas Gauna from Buenos Aires asked Jonny about his first guitar and the first song he learned, and this was Jonny's reply:

I bought a Fender acoustic for £40 from a “for sale” column in the Oxford Journal when l was about 14, then an electric one from my teacher when l was 16. I still have the acoustic, but the electric one was stolen in Leeds on the first Radiohead tour (at the Duchess Of York, I think… it was a cream Telecaster if anyone's seen it). I don't remember working out many songs by other bands - maybe “Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads. There was a tiny guitar room at school where teenagers hung out playing each other U2 songs - but I never had any U2 records.

Given Jonny's penchant for stickers during his younger days, one can only assume that this is the same guitar that he played when he first strummed his way through Psycho Killer.

Based on the quote, the guitar was purchased in around ~1985, and was already used by that point. Fender had released their California series acoustics in 1983, but they were still relatively new and expensive. So it's more likely that the guitar is from Fender's standard F-series. Price lists show that the F-series was available from Fender through the 70s and 80s. The headstock confirms this: California series guitars have a Stratocaster-style headstock, whereas Jonny's has a more traditional acoustic headstock with the distinctive F-series notch in the center. In addition, we can see a square "Fender" label through the soundhole. A cursory glance through Fender F acoustics shows that the square label was used in the 70s and early-80s, particularly on Japanese-made instruments. They seem to have switched to a round label in the late-80s. This gives further evidence that the guitar in the picture really is Jonny's original acoustic.

Fender's acoustic and classical guitar offerings in April, 1977 (guitar-compare.com). Given the price Jonny paid for a used instrument, it seems very possible that he bought a 1970s F-35 model. The more expensive models like the F-65 had fancier inlays and details, whereas the one in the photo has simple dot inlays on the fingerboard.

Listen/purchase: Jonny Boy by The Manhattan Love Suicides

[thisisareallymeaningfulurl]

Picked up some summer reading today, yay! I originally only went in for Family Business because I am a huge fan of Jonny’s first novel and they finally had this one in stock. Unfortunately for me, House of Leaves has been on my TBR for ages and it made eye contact with me. So what was supposed to be a $20 purchase became a $50 one. Worth it! And my mom is interested in both novels so they’ll get passed over to her when I’m done. Can’t wait to see what they both have in store for me!

[majorshatterandhare]

The yarn I purchased for the Drumbot doll came in the other day. It is the only one from that brand, the rest of the skin and hair tones are going to be from a different brand. I don’t have everything I need yet to make even just Brian; I need some felt to create the shape to embroider over for the eyes. I have felt, but my goal is to make these dolls from 100% natural fibers, so I need to order some wool felt. Luckily I know a place I’ve been interested in ordering from anyway, I only need one color because I’m going to be embroidering over it with the correct eye color, and I love embroidering on felt so I know I’ll use the rest for something else; it just feels weird to purchase 100% wool felt for such a small bit. The yarn for Brian is 70% bamboo, 30% cotton and very soft. I am excited to use it and am already thinking I’ll get more from this brand for other projects. It’s fingering weight, which is my favorite weight, and I’m going to hold it double for the dolls. I’ll probably talk more about it once I’ve actually used it.

I just need to get the felt and some cotton balls and I can at least make Brian’s body. The internet told me that cotton balls are mostly synthetic, but my local pharmacy’s store brand says they are 100% organic cotton. I’m not concerned about having to wash the dolls, but I did find an informative trio of blog posts on natural fiber stuffing. Not gonna end up using that info for this, but still good to know I suppose. I’ll pull the cotton balls apart before stuffing them in the dolls. Hopefully I won’t hate the texture too much. Hopefully it’ll be fine in the dolls.

I plan to use crochet cotton thread and perle cotton for the clothing, because the thinner fabric will reduce the bulk, for example, under the arms, meaning they won’t stick straight out like they do on my tester doll. I have also decided to switch the pattern I’m going to use. There was nothing wrong with the previous one, I just think the new one will be easier for me to adjust to create different body types.

I am planning on making an Aurora of the same size as the Mechs, because I think that will be really cute, and I will probably end up making Carmilla as well, although those two are planned to be last. I am not currently planning to make Scuzz, but I can always add them later if I so desire.

I am planning on making little compartments with a heart and lungs for Jonny and Ashes, but I’m not sure how complex I want to get with that and therefore, who, if anyone else, would also get that for their mechanisms. I need to get wire. The pattern uses pipe cleaners but that fur is definitely synthetic, floral wire would be an option but I think that’s wrapped in plastic…. Wire will likely be used in the skeleton of Raph’s wings as well.

The natural fibers is personal preference on my part. I typically prefer the feeling of natural fibers when working with them and I obviously like the biodegradable aspect. Synthetic fibers have their place and I do use them as well, this is just, sort of, an extra challenge I’m imposing on myself. And there’s so much planning going into the dolls anyway, these materials will cost more, but I know I’ll also like the dolls better if they are made from natural fibers.

I’m very excited to start these boys (gender neutral) but I currently do not have the funds for all the supplies and also have a million other projects I need to finish.

Sorry for the long post. IDK if anyone is even going to care about this, but I wanted to update and this was my second attempt and it still came out very long and there was something else I think I forgot? Maybe that I had considered doing secondary outfits for the dolls of the characters they play, but we don’t get descriptions of those so it’d be a bit difficult and definitely a separate, secondary project, but while writing this I had the idea of making Jessica’s angel outfit for TS she wore before the Toy Soldier’s costume. TS is getting “wood” colored skin though, and IDK what I’m gonna do for its hair, but it’d still be very cute!
