Record Group 242: National Archives Collection of Foreign Records SeizedSeries: German Reports of Downed Allied Fighters and Other Aircraft

Fri. June 16-44

J 1626

Dearest Lester,

I keep hoping every time we go to the

office will receive a letter from

you but as yet haven't, will be six

weeks Sun. since your wrote us

last & that seems a long time.

Surely they will soon be letting

you write.

We are really having warm

weather. I have been cleaning house

& putting away the winter clothes

this week.

H. [L.] Johnson died last Sun. he has

been having trouble with his heart

for a long time & he died suddenly.

You remember he was Vivian

Johnson's daddy.

The Scout's are making a flag with

all the boys names on it who

ever were scouts here, they are asking

for all names to be sent in - I sent yours in andthey are going to have court

of honor July 18th and the

mother of each boy is to

light a candle & then they

put the name on the flag.

Mr. Carter said he thinks his

boy is in England - I believe

he is on a bomber, you

remember he went to Salt Lake

City about the time you left.

[Bro] Wallace has gone to begin

his meetings for the summer

Bro. Foy Wallace Sr. and his wife

are to come today or tomorrow

& be here while Paul is gone.

Daddy & I have just been to

lunch, about all we had was

pie & milk, we just don't take

time to prepare much for noon,

we have our regular meals

most of time morning and

night.

Val Prahl is at home, I think

A bit of a guide, since I have so many stories

Dragon Universe stories: The Will of the Whispering (TWOTW), The Hostile Credence (THC), The Dragons' Cosmos (TDC), Planetary Boundaries (PB), Cashmere, and Brackish TWOTW: Lester, Mildred, and a lot of kids THC: Seth, Niven, Ewan, Dunn, Flick, Tessa, etc. Lots of characters here, but they're more likely to be mentioned alongside the ones I've just named. TDC: Roscoe, Noah, Sylvester and their families. Bircha and Afensi are dragons in this story. PB: Huge cast, but there's Bianca, Brooklyn, Dorian, Florian, Trace, Lucinda, Andy, etc. Cashmere: Toryn, Hadeon, Riley (this is a retired story, however, and I reused Toryn and Hadeon in Geckos - they are Duncan's father and stepfather) Brackish: Basil (Christian), Cassidy, Wendy, Imogen, and Alison are the main characters outside of family members. (Imogen has a twin brother and Alison is her little sister, and ofc Basil and Cassidy's families are brought up frequently). Oh, and Sidony, the most important character. (A DRAGON) Pleasure Seekers series is my asexual incubus story and has four books planned. Characters include Xavier, Zachary, Clarissa, Eloise, Daphne, Bernardo, Fenton, Bethany... I can't keep up with this one, honestly, there are also a lot of characters here. ;) Name the Frogs: Irving's dad, Nestor, is a villain. Serrated Petals: Roland is a villainfucker, and that villain is Otto, and he has a side piece named Luther. Roland's little half-brother, Stanley, is dragged into this bullshit. Seasons: Vivian, Graham, and a ton of seasonal children. Easy to spot by all the mentions of weather and seasonal affinities! Stargazers' Hill universe: Stargazers' Hill (SGH), Before our Ghosts (BoG), and Rascal. I'm going to sum this up with "I have a lot of feelings about Ambrose and Thaddeus and Ferdinand/Hazel is my OTP, and Opal is my wife... okay, she's not, but she should be." Untitled story about automatons, featuring childhood enemies, Warren and Henry Maureen Maribel is the name of the story and the name of the character that the story focuses on. This is the child actress story. The Elephants Always Come Back: Mirza, Boris, Fredrick, Hana, Gustav, Moswen, etc. Love them. I name my Halloween spiders after these characters. Initials for story are TEACB, I call it TEACUP bc it's cuter. Geckos, Automata: Julian, Mortimer, Kieran, Rosalia, and Duncan. AND GECKOS AND AUTOMATA. This one is for sale, please buy it? Little Horrors: Hervey and Algernon, but they're not the only characters. Littlespace story with a side of horror/spooky vibes! Where the Lanterns Glow: Nolwen and Evander story. The witch story. Originally called Double Double Witch Boy in Trouble because it was supposed to just be sexy. Skin from the River: Three river dads have to go find their dangerous river son who used the bones and such from his waters to form a human body. This one is horror. I have a bunch of others and no time, but most are short stories or still in development. Stay tuned, I have over 1000 characters at this point <3

The disassembly drones' former names

I figured that I would share this headcanon with all of you sooner or later. You know each of the disassembly drones’ serial designations? Well, what if their letters were based off their former names back when they were worker drones? And I’m not talking about the first letter of their names. I’m talking about the name of the letter in each of their names. For example, N’s former name was probably either Kenneth, Bennett, or Leonard, and V’s former name probably either Venus, Vivian, or Genevieve. J’s former name was probably either Jamie or Jane, the latter of which I was initially going for Mary Jane (yes, the same name as the famous supporting character from Spider-Man). I’m unsure about CYN or Cynthia, though, largely because that she probably died long before the events of the series that she wasn’t converted into a disassembly drone. Besides, for all we know, she was going on a crazy, murderous rampage that she had to be put down. And if she was converted into a disassembly drone, her designation might be either C from the first letter of her name or T from a phonetic of her name (Cynthia).

The former names should go as followed:

A – Ada, Eva, Avery, Abraham, Adrian

B – Beatrice, Bianca, Phoebe; Sabine

C – Caesar, Cecil, Casey

D – Diesel, Delia, Deanna, Heidi, Nadine

E – Edith, Eden, Elaine, Ian

F – Efrem, Jeffrey, Stephanie

G – Giovanni, Georgina, Regina, Eugene

H – Rachel, Horatio

I – Isaac, Ivan, Isaiah, Ivy, Iris

J – Jane, Jamie, Jayden

K – Katie, Kayla, Casey

L – Eleanor, Elliot, Elias, Elvis, Elmer; Bella, Angelica, Melanie, Danielle, Michelle; Denzel

M – Emma, Emerald, Emmett, Emmerich, Clementine

N – Kenneth, Bennett, Benedict, Leonard, Henry

O – Ophelia, Olivia, Odette, Opal

P – Peter, Penelope

Q – Cueball, Queue

R – Archie, Armand, Charles, Harley

S – Essence, Estelle, Esther, Jessica, Lester, Marquess

T –  Christina, Valentina, Misty

U – Ulysses, Unity, Eunice, Eustace

V – Venus, Vivian, Genevieve

W – Winston, Wilson

X – Xavier, Rex, Alexander

Y – Wyatt, Wyvern, Wyoming

Z – Ezekiel, Lindsay, Suzie

I also want to share that I used to have a theory that J, N, and V used to be regular secretary drones before being converted into disassembly drones, as well as my former headcanon that N used to be friends with his assigned human coworker.

Anyway, that’s all I have for this headcanon for now. This might be re-edited soon, but if you’d like to add in some additions, feel free to do so in the replies and reblogs. You can use this list as an outline for your OCs if you want. And I’ll see you all next time.

P.S. If Uzi were to transform into a disassembly drone, should her designation be either U or Z?

My media this week (12-18 Feb 2023)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

😊 "List of People Who Disappeared Mysteriously at Sea" (Jen Myers) - nicely eerie short story

😊 In The Market For Murder (Lady Hardcastle Mysteries #2) (T.E. Kinsey, author; Elizabeth Knowelden, narrator) - again, I'm a fan of the breezy 'not-super-serious-about-historical-accuracy-in-the-small-details' tone; I really like that Flo & Lady H have this backstory/history that we only find small bits about here and there

😍 Same As It Ever Was (QuokkaFoxtrot) - 62K, Steddie - EXCELLENT time-loop fixit AU

🥰 Cabin Pressure - Series 1: Abu Dhabi to Fitton (John Finnemore, author; Stephanie Cole/Roger Allam/Benedict Cumberbatch/John Finnemore, voice cast) - entertained again by the crew of MJN Airlines

😍 Matchmaker, Matchmaker, Make Steve a Match (BlueSimplicity) - 209K, shrunkyclunks - omegaverse (but fairly nontrad, no mpreg) - the slow burn tag is not inappropriate but also it kind of doesn't FEEL that slow! deep worldbuilding, excellent epistolary component, incredible OC's, the differences/subversions of trad omegaverse tropes gave me clowfish AU vibes, which I loved

😍 Will Wonders Never Cease (PorcupineGirl) - 56K, zimbits AU, You've Got Mail/She Loves Me fusion - magic's real, Bitty's a tech witch with a very cute familiar - read this in one sitting and my face hurt when I was done from smiling so much

🥰 Luke and Billy Finally Get a Clue (Cat Sebastian) - novella, set in 1953; to paraphrase the official description: two best friend pro ball players finally figure their shit out, featuring: inclement weather, only one (real) bed and some hurt/comfort. Technically this is set in the Cabot Universe but there are zero Cabots in this one. Cat continues to score home runs on vibes alone. I love her books so, so much!

💖💖 +189K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

I Want You to Find Me (PorcupineGirl) - Check Please!: zimbits, 23K - canon-divergent AU where Bitty's a camboy that catches Jack's attention (while also still being his former teammate and all)

Ruin me (rainbow_nerds) - Stranger Things: steddie, 11K - absolutely cannot get enough of a reunion/2nd chance fic!!!!! fluffy AF!

Critical Feline Mass (Kryptaria, zooeyscigar) - MCU: stucky, 39K - no-powers AU where they're both retired military, Steve rents an apt to a still-struggling-to-reintegrate Bucky & sparks (and feelings) fly. also there are a lot of adorable kittens.

William James “Count” Basie (August 21, 1904 – April 26, 1984) was a jazz pianist, organist, bandleader, and composer. He formed his jazz orchestra, the Count Basie Orchestra, and took them to Chicago for a long engagement and their first recording. He led the group for almost 50 years, creating innovations like the use of two “split” tenor saxophones, emphasizing the rhythm section, riffing with a big band, using arrangers to broaden their sound, and others. Many musicians came to prominence under his direction, including the tenor saxophonists Lester Young and Herschel Evans, the guitarist Freddie Green, trumpeters Buck Clayton and Harry “Sweets” Edison, and singers Jimmy Rushing, Helen Humes, Thelma Carpenter, and Joe Williams.

He was born to Lillian and Harvey Lee Basie in Red Bank, New Jersey. His father worked as a coachman and caretaker for a wealthy judge. After automobiles replaced horses, his father became a groundskeeper and handyman for several wealthy families in the area. Both of his parents had some type of musical background. His father played the mellophone, and his mother played the piano; in fact, she gave him his first piano lessons. She took in laundry and baked cakes for sale for a living. She paid 25 cents a lesson for his piano instruction.

He went to Harlem, a hotbed of jazz. He bumped into Sonny Greer, who was by then the drummer for the Washingtonians, Duke Ellington’s early band. He met many of the Harlem musicians who were “making the scene,” including Willie “the Lion” Smith and James P. Johnson.

He was in Tulsa and heard Walter Page and his Famous Blue Devils, one of the first big bands, which featured Jimmy Rushing on vocals. He was invited to join the band, which played mostly in Texas and Oklahoma. It was at this time that he began to be known as “Count” Basie.

He married Vivian Lee Winn. He married Catherine Morgan, they had one daughter. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #omegapsiphi

Resident main antagonist and boss lady! She cares very deeply about what she does. She was the one who took Varsha in as a trainee and was her primary mentor during the process. As a result, she has asmittedly developed a soft spot for her, though tries not to let it get in the way of what’s important. A bit intimidating, but hey, as long as you’re not a werewolf she’s pretty chill for the most part!

Work Criteria

For awhile, I wanted to make my work something that would always be fun to do. Now I'd rather have a job that provides well, while affording me flexibility.

If I want to grind super hard, or take a week off and focus on art, or live as a digital nomad, thats great!

My hope is service design is a good fit for this: improving the value for customers, effective processes for business, and integrating technology. It's consulting. We help you realize your vision, find opportunities and solutions.

I will be happy if I make $2k/mo working remote. On the side, I'll do photography, film, music, adventure, language learning, sleeping, anything I want. I hope over time, I hope to earn more and work less.

How does it feel?

I get to connect with the curious and loving souls of others. People like Lester, Milly, Moon, Tanya, Izzy, Noah, Vivian, Shin, Jihee, Sage, Nate, and new friends too.

I get to zone deep into my work. Explore my clients worlds. Map out their business. Interview all different types of people. Then tap out, explore the world, see new things, experience new things, swim, hike, relax, create.

I want a space that rings with freedom. Big open space or big windows, the breeze in my hair, the outside air even if it's hot summer or cold winter. I want to be surrounded by high quality healthy food, a gym for exercise, my own space for meditation. I'll eat noodles, boodha bowls, gallo pinto. I'll wake up and get to eat yummy fried tortillas with fresh vegetables and fruits. I'll be able to give: presents, meals, artwork, colors, support and teaching. I'll hear the sound of birds, sizzling tortillas, the wind, bicycle tires.

Most importantly, I will have inner satisfaction. I will be full of gratitude, have a clear mind, unconditional patience and love for others.

I'll be able to buy whatever I want at the grocery store, including things I won't know if I'll enjoy. I'll be able to spend without worry: get a bike, train tickets, even rent a car without thinking too hard, and I'll just feel excited.

My work life will be social and dynamic. I help facilitate improvement for companies. I get to collaborate with passionate people, serious people, social people smart people. I have meetings, presentations, consulting open chats. I share my knowledge, skills, and experience. I create visuals, graphics, plans. After work I get to reward myself by going out to eat and trying new healthy foods like Japanese pumpkin barley soup.

Work will still feel like work, because it always will. My problems will be having too many clients I have to say no. Having to protect my free time to do art. I will have to get motivated to workout every other day. I'll have to snap into the zone with work. Use forest and livestreams to stay in my zone.

I commit to this being my next goal. I will take the opportunities that come to me, however scary, to make this my life.

I will stop complaining.

Movie Review: The Boogeyman

Based on the short story by Stephen King, The Boogeyman tells the story of widower Will Harper (Chris Messina) and his daughters, Sadie (Sophie Thatcher, The Book of Boba Fett) and Sawyer (Vivian Lyra Blair of Obi-Wan Kenobi fame) as the deal with the grief from losing their matriarch in a car accident. Will is a therapist who works out of his home. When Lester Billings (David Dastmalchian) shows…
