#Paul and Jer

[fredandginger64]

Good morning Tumblr friends

Hope they make your day as bright and wonderful as they do mine!

[jerrylewis-thekid]

For me this is the true story of their meeting. Dean was the guy who would have said that "lick it" and this story says something very important: Dean noticed Jerry first otherwise he wouldn't have noticed that Jerry threw the egg on own shirt. But Jerry protected Dean with the tale that he had seen him first and fallen in love with him. It was exactly the opposite. And anyway they BOTH told the newspapers while they were together that theirs was "love at first sight". And here he says something important, that is that he was sixteen years old and not yet married. And Jerry was famous for his incredible memory!

👥 Charlie

@pxtitxrosx

Road trip saga here

JP also calls Charlie, Chucky, after the scary movies. He did it to show her that it wasn't something to be afraid of by making a game of it at first. He figured if she thought it was associated with something funny that she would get over her fear of it. (The therapists he had growing up weren't completely useless. He actually learned a lot from them and it made it easier for him to manipulate a situation - good or bad - when necessary.) And it worked. It was this success that was a confirming factor in their later road trip.

Even though he bitches about it, he secretly loves watching all her rom coms and chick flicks with her. He wouldn't have cared what movie they were watching in all honesty, he just liked having uninhibited, free and happy, time with her. Moments that weren't marred by the tragedies of life.

He also is far sillier with Charlie. Or at least he used to be. His playtime vibe was very much like this. (Or this if that doesn't work. Lol.) She's actually the only one he lets that side out with.

Charlie is his favorite sibling.

Anon who asked about the suicides here. Unfortunately I'll need the specific locations/texts (of at least two, I think). It's not that I don't believe in you!! I'm just trying to show it to someone

of course-

king saul kills himself via the sword in 1 sam 31. i have posted often about how god sees this death and never gets over it, and that is at least partly why he later incarnates as a non-roman (roman citizens would die by the sword: i think god feared dying as saul did)

sign-acts as self harm: see ezekiel's self-harm sign-acts: isolation in ezek 3:31; immobilization ezek 4:4-8; eating over excrement ezek 4:9; see also jeremiah's self-harm sign-acts: exposure to elements jer 13; auto-yoking in jer 27

elijah praying to die: 1 kngs 19:4; knowing elisha will also end up praying to die: ibid v. 20 ("what have i done to you!?")

tobit praying to die: tobit 3 (sarah also has a prayer for death here)

moses praying to die: numb 11:13

jonah prays to die and then attempts suicide via the elements: jonah 4

psalmist 88 also prays to die and, in fact, enacts a semiotic death (writing from the grave). this is one of two psalms that does not end in resolution with god

samuel asking to be put to rest after already dying: 1 sam 28

many close to god also express, without intention to enact and without real plea, their wanting-to-die: see job (all of it), jeremiah (jer 20), and rebekah (gen 27:46)

there are many more than what my post listed. almost every prophetic sign act is self-harm. and, in the second testament, you have (very famously) the apostle paul saying he struggles with suicidal ideation, as well as the suicide of judas, which lacks any affective response precisely because none suffice. keep in mind that in the ancient world, self harm and auto-death looked like, and meant, very different things than they do today. keep also in mind that in each pericope here, god shares in the wanting-to-die, never answering the plea or condoning or condemning, but holding gently unto the pain

One of the most beautiful sounds in the world is Dean Martin making Jerry Lewis laugh. It's beee-autiful!

Omg! Why? THERE'S SO MUCH WITH THESE TWO! AND FRANK PROBABLY KNEW IT ALL!

YOU GUYS: color photos of Frank with his JERRY LOGO BADGE!

the mystery deepens. why was he wearing this for Dean’s show? will we ever know?

[jerrylewis-thekid]

They separated them while they were alive, not taking into account what they really wanted to do when their fame was at its highest. They continue to separate them from the dead without taking into consideration, from Dean Martin's family, his years with Jerry, pretending not to understand that those years were the years in which Dean Martin was truly happy. Or rather the first years together when it was just Paul and Jer, without having around the whole machine of the "dirty dream factory" as Nick Tosches defined it. And even in death Dean Martin is still treated (by his own family) like a star of the show and not like the Dino Crocetti person. Nobody tries to understand what Dino Crocetti was like as a person basically because nobody cares. Just like it happened when he was alive.

They just changed their whole story in favor of the hypocritical and puritanical American public and turned Jerry into a monster and Dean into a saint.

For money.

Here's some material straight from the publicity department at MCA. This would have been intended to craft the "Dean Martin" public persona after his breakup with Jer. From the earliest years after they went solo, we can see the "king of cool" identity beginning to take hold for the mainstream public. I also included a singular color slide of Dean performing solo at the Sands because I think it's a nice perspective from the crowd and makes you feel "in the moment." This would have been roughly around the same time as the attached marketing material.

There are a few quotes from this that stand out to me -

"He is amazingly modest concerning his talents. Of his singing, he says, 'I'm no singer. I can carry a tune and I have an easy style. But a lot of us crooners get by because we're fairly painless.' He's so painless three of his recordings have sold more than a million copies and one, "That's Amore," was well over 3,000,000 at last count."

I find it interesting how often Dean seemingly downplayed his talents and his singing in particular. It certainly plays into his cool, laidback image. However, I think it speaks to some of the insecurity and uncertainty he felt about his career, especially after going solo. Although, even Jerry wrote about how Dean never gave himself the credit he deserved when it came to his singing abilities. It seemed to be a rare spot of vulnerability. I don't think Dean could have ever imagined that his career would have such longevity, long after his passing (not only is he forever cemented in show business legend, but he currently has 6,000,000 monthly listeners on Spotify - that's no small feat).

"His friends call him Dino, and his enthusiasm at encountering old acquaintances is genuine and boyish. He likes people, and the feeling is mutual."

His friends called him Dino but only Jerry called him Paul. I think it's a bit funny that it says he likes people when I think it was very much known how he tended to avoid crowds and parties. It's even been said that he would retire early from parties at his own home to go watch a western film in another room. In this publicity material, we can see these clear distinctions and contradictions between Dean Martin the persona and Dino Crocetti the man.

Meet Jeremy Sullivan

The most speedy Student at Mann Secondary School and Sixth Form. The runt of a rather large family it's clear that he was slightly neglected but so were all his other brothers as having one mother to share around 8 children is quite the task.

Being the so-called runt of a large family does have other consequences than just not receiving enough attention, it also gave his brothers the perfect opportunities to give stupider and stupider nicknames to him. To his brothers James and Jonny, he's simply 'Rat', as the twins used to call him 'Remy' until they watched Ratatouille, and found it quite funny. For Jacob, it is 'Jerbel.' Their mother always called him 'Jerry', which in turn led to Jefferey Jordan and Jackson calling him 'Mouse' as a Tom and Jerry joke. And because he's just quite boring, Julian just calls him Jeremy. Of course with his mother, nicknames are far from the insults and rodents of his brothers. Her favorites are 'Jerry', 'Jer-bear' and 'Cupcake'. She especially likes to do this when his friends are round to embarrass him further.

As he was the youngest in his family, and from his brothers' constant 'banter', as they put it, he often felt like he was the weakest member of their family, and that he had something to prove. And so to prove himself, he started to do sports, especially rounders and cross-country running, eventually dropping the other sports just to focus on those ones.

Aside from sports, Jeremy also quite enjoys drawing and arts, and in fact, he's quite good at it. However, he doesn't use his talents for much good just often drawing little doodles of his friends or characters, and never drawing anything big. One of the things he draws most often however is the French exchange student who's living with his family in odd situations.

And now we get onto 'Spy', as despite living with the Sullivan family for just over a year, no one actually knows his name, or what he looks like (except for one person), and by god, does he and Jeremy fight. Most of it is verbal, but occasionally there is a physical fight; like the massive one that got them in isolation for a while, and almost excluded, but that's a story for another day! Other than the constant fighting, they can actually be nice to each other occasionally. Like for example, Jeremy goes to 'Spy' for girl advice, specifically with a certain sixth former.

F. Pauling, or just Pauling as she's more commonly known, is the chosen infatuation of the two-year junior. Despite his many attempts at winning her over, she says that she just sees him as an annoying younger brother, and with how many brothers he has a lot of people see him that way.

Relationships

Jane 'Soldier' Doe: They sit next to each other in PE, so hardly any work gets done. Not to mention the fights that Jane often initiates and Jeremy often loses

?? 'Pyro' ??: This pair just often sits and draws in either the most random places in the corridor or near where the library ghosts hang out.

Tavish 'Demoman' Degroot and Mikhail 'Heavy' Ivanov: The designated 'Bonk!' suppliers. Tavish gets it for him by simply not ID-ing him when he buys it, and Mikhail gets it for him by saying it's for himself, and with how old and tall Mikhail is, it's no wonder why the cashiers don't ID him.

Ludwig 'Doc' Koch: With how often Jeremy gets injured in his fights with Jane, it's no wonder why Ludwig's most often patient is none other than Jeremy.

Mun-dee 'Mick' 'Sniper' Mundy: Two of four members of the friend group to be in yr10, however, they haven't actually talked that much.

?? 'Spy' ??: It's a complicated friendship, in fact, they're more like brothers than they are friends.

F. Pauling: Its incredibly awkward when they're alone, especially when Jeremy tries to break the silence, with an even worse flirt.

Compared to his slightly more openness with the other two Rose siblings on this particular matter, Ash has never told JP about the Sada problems, he's learnt his lesson on that one. And he really can't afford another telescope mysterious breaking again, literally, emotionally and financially. He knows just how close JP is to Sada, seeing the mess that came from telling Ria, Ashton simply learnt to keep his mouth shut about this, especially with JP. JP only really knows how much Sada hates him, from Sada herself, but that was it, that was harmless enough. Because whichever way the outcome goes, Ash only sees a lose-lose situation. If JP believes him, there might be an anger hard to tame, a mess he wasn't sure they could clean up. And the more likely latter that JP doesn't believe him from a single gaslight of Sada, Ashton wasn't ready to lose JP as a friend, as family. And if he had to keep this from JP forever to hold that delicate peace, he will.

Ash has let JP come to his apartment multiple times, at any time really, to share his problems with him, always a listening ear for him to at least talk through his feelings unfiltered and work things through. Perhaps it was the fact that Ash was kind of family, and yet not really family, there was a small comfort perhaps in that grey area of close enough but not too close. A sweet spot to open up and Ash was always a good listener, not always having the solutions but more often than not JP already knows his answer and just needs a sounding board and Ash was happy to be that for him, secrets spilt never revealed, rants shared and never passed along, JP deserves that much of his privacy, something he's sure he hasn't gotten much of all these years.

He knows that JP knows about certain feelings for a certain brother but Ash continues to deny it even if it's just knowing glances he's seen JP give him all this time. He glazes over them, as if any more of acknowledgment was going to throw JP into an excitement of being right all this time. But in one occasion last year, Ash had gravely talked to him to ask-beg- him to not tell Sada whatever he thinks there is between Ash and Jer, there wasn't-, he'd tell JP, but on the off chance it blabs out to Sada, he's pretty sure he wasn't going to get out of it alive. Probably dead in a ditch the very next day. Good thing he had his will drafted and grave picked out already. And while he loves and trusts JP, this was unfortunately something he just wasn't sure he could trust JP with, not if he valued any form of peace and solace he still had with this pocket of his life, a vulnerability he could protect if he pretended it didn't exist.

Introducing his mother to the Roses, with them pretty much being his first new friends moving here, his mother immediately took a liking to the three of them, empathetic and honestly, pissed off at the fact of what their mother put them through. She made the effort to always ask about them when she gets on video calls with Ashton, insisting on greeting them and saying hi when she could. The middle Rose reminded her a little bit of when young Ash, brash, a bit of a temper, a dash of insecurities. Perhaps if anything it was almost a nostalgic feeling, knowing the marines changed her son forever. She indulges JP in embarrassing stories of Ashton to use to make fun of him, an equivalent exchange between both families and love hearing about the siblings herself and JP was always the one to joke around about those. She wished she could help JP more in his struggles but like mother like son, she didn't always feel like it was her place to butt in on his life, not unless he wanted her to. So instead they focused on the brighter side of life, just wanting to return the love that the siblings have given to Ash all this time, knowing that they deserve it more than anyone else she knew.

Dean let Jerry know he loves him and he added the 'I mean it' because he knew Jerry and he knew Jerry needed to hear it. There's just nothing I can find that tell me that these two were not head over heels in love with each other. It's so very sad that they had to live out their lives apart.
