Hi! How and when did you get into DC comics?

Well my original entry to DC was that I was a fan of Lois & Clark: the New Adventures of Superman when I was a kid and it was originally showing. This actually was a decent entrypoint to the DC mythos, as it's famous for having probably the best TV-comics synergy of all time: the Death of Superman was written to have a plot running while Lois & Clark built up to the wedding, so they could do simultaneous weddings in the comics and the show.

It worked out pretty well for DC.

But DC Comics, as comic books? Well somewhere around 2006 or so I'd transitioned into reading some fic for Lois & Clark, as a change. I then moved on to stories about Bruce/Selina (which I had a reasonable amount of background for from the Burton & Schumacher movies), and ended up in the scans_daily scene on LJ. This was the heyday of scans_daily, when you could pretty reasonably follow along a lot of major comics via the 1/3 posting rule; you didn't get everything, but that plus the summary got you across events pretty well.

I'd liked Barbara Gordon as a little girl, watching the movies. It was at this point I discovered Oracle.

The first comics graphic novel I ever purchased was Birds of Prey: Perfect Pitch. I've still got it. I ended up reading a bunch of runs recommended via content I liked on scans_daily: Birds of Prey, Robin, No Man's Land, Nightwing, Batgirl 2000, Blue Beetle, and Young Justice. A couple of these I was buying trades for (BoP and Blue Beetle); the rest I was reading via ye olde torrent packets. I was also reading and collecting a bunch of Vertigo titles: The Sandman, Fables, Y: the Last Man, and one or two Marvel titles (Runaways and Power Pack).

I dropped out of DC fandom, like so many others, around 2010-2011. It was actually prior to n52 in my case: I wasn't enjoying Batman Reborn, they'd cancelled my two favourite books (Birds of Prey and Blue Beetle), but the last straw was probably when they murdered Lian Harper.

I noped out. And it was a pretty good call on my part, given that n52 was barrelling down anyway.

I was still occasionally dipping in to read fic, mostly about characters I particularly cared about, but every time I took a breath and paid attention to gossip about what was currently happening in comics, it was mostly terrible news (Lian was still dead; people told me Roy's personality had been obliterated; Barbara was Batgirl and magically healed; the universe resets sucked and everyone hated them; Jason was somehow still alive; everyone was mad about something that had happened to Dick; etc etc)

It was during 2022, when I don't even know how I came across it, but I discovered that DC had finally reprinted Young Justice in trade. This was huge; collections had refused to do this during the 2000s aside from a trade of Sins of Youth back when it came out. There was a general attitude that the group of largely younger and largely female fans weren't worth catering to. The fact that DC now saw us as a lucrative market suggested to me that my contemporaries were finally getting their chance to start running the asylum.

So I dipped back into the community. It was a little hard at first, because hubs had changed, and locating fans who liked the things I personally liked took a little while. But I got back into the fandom, and got back into the fic, and discovered that back in about 2017 there'd been a revival to start reprinting a lot of my favourite comics runs, and that DCUI was the best way to read comics these days, and I could get access to it in Australia.

And because DCUI was just so much better than the methods of reading comics I'd been dealing with 15 years previously, and I'd had an idea for a story I wanted to write, I started a canon read through review, starting all the way back in ALPOD with Tim's earliest comics.

And here I am. I often have older opinions on things simply because I remember being in these debates 15+ years ago, and then I missed the intervening period, so my opinions never updated or heard the changed details (or are only slowly doing so now). I'm a preboot girl at heart because that's where I fell in love with various characters. I, like every other Batfan with a similar history to mine (and there are a lot of us) went through that moment of sheer bemusement over the Tim & Jason tag at AO3 as my most prominent memory of their relationship was Tim kicking Jason in the nuts.

And I've bought a lot of trades ever since getting back into the fandom, because I can't lose access to them AND they're just so far superior for collection purposes than floppies.

It all started with a Cab.

No, not a taxi. That's the wrong kind of cab. I'm talking about Cabernet Sauvignon. A Bordeaux grape that made it's way to America and is found to grow beautifully in California. Cab Sauv is the baby of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc (both Bordeaux grapes). It's a big, bold, rich, fruity grape that offers high alcohol, high tannin and a full body. It pairs well with steak and also works as a cocktail wine. It's a great way to get into wine for beginners, and for more experience wine nerds it's a great varietal to collect and age. But I'm a little deep in the weeds. Let me slow it down...

Here's the quick story. I have been bartending since the day I turned 21. I had wanted to be a bartender since I was a kid and watched "Cocktail"...who didn't want to be Tom Cruise in that movie? Spinning bottles and making the girls smile and making a ton of money in the process. Who didn't want to move down to the islands and open a place called "Cocktails and Dreams"?

I worked at every bar I could. Dive bars, theater bars, restaurant bars, wine bars. I worked private events and catering events. Never did weddings. The opportunity just never arose. I also worked in a ton of restaurants and a server and a cook. I was a professional actor, which meant I was also a service industry professional. But it wouldn't become my career until around the year 2020. Some big cataclysmic event happened that sent my destiny in another direction. WINE!

But I think we need to start from the beginning.... Wine wasn't a big deal in my family. My aunt would drink Kendal Jackson, Turning Leaf, Franzia. And when I stole some I hated it. At the college parties when Boone's Farm and 2 Buck Chuck went around I understood it was swill and was only going to lead me to a severe hangover or upchucking and ruining the vibes.

When I started bartending, I was in this little dive bar in South Bend. My boss was an older woman who owned the place and I would pour her this awful white wine from a 1 liter bottle. That's all I really thought wine was. Just bitter grape juice with high ABV that I poured for people who had pour taste.

But there just had to be more to it! They wouldn't make movies like "Sideways" if wine wasn't a bigger deal. I had to keep exploring. I would go to the stores and try to find wine that I liked, but it felt like I reading another language. I mean...I was...but even the english words in wine culture seemed foreign and scary. I found a sweeter red wine that I managed to drink a couple bottles of, until I chugged one at a house party and turned the toilet bright purple. That was the end of that. I stuck with mixed drinks and beer for years after.

But then I moved to California and met a girl who would later become my wife. She grew up in a much different way than I did. She grew up in a well to do family, in California with a father who loved the wine world. My wife introduced me to wine by taking me to Temecula and Santa Barbara. I would go visit her parents with her and her dad would bring out bottles of California Cabs that were easy to drink. He wasn't looking to pair the bottle with food, it was a cocktail wine...and that's exactly what I was looking for.

I learned that I just needed to keep exploring the wine world. I still had no idea that I was going to dedicate my life to becoming a Somm. That wouldn't happen for another twelve to thirteen years. At this time I was just enjoying the fact that I was in California chasing my dreams and enjoying what I considered a sophisticated adult beverage. I was growing up and I was very proud to be around people who had more sophisticated pallets than I had.

As a budding sommelier, I don't drink as much California Cab as I used to. Southern Australia, Chile, Bordeaux, Washington state also offer some absolutely stunning expressions of Cab Sauv. But I still get together with my father-in-law and we pop open our favorite Paso Robles Cabs and share in the sense of nostalgia and comfort that these wines offer. He was truly the person who sent me on the path to love wine. He would deny this if you asked him, but it's true.

We went to Paso Robles and Santa Barbara multiple times. Each time I'd learn a little more. I'd watch some documentary, take James Suckling's Masterclass, read an issue of Wine Enthusiast. I was trying to understand this world. It would be a decade before I really got my sea legs and felt like I understood what the wine world was all about. (More on that later.)

I remember going to restaurants watching Bob pour over the wine book. I remember thinking, "Thank God he's doing this. I don't know what any of that means!" He was always trying to learn more about wine as well. The beauty of being a "professional wine guy" is that I am able to take us further down the rabbit hole than we thought we could go. The further down we go, the more fun it is. Having someone on the journey with you makes it all the more fun. My wife and mother-in-law enjoy the finer wines that come from it, though they seem to not be as excited about learning about malolactic fermentation and botrytis.

So, in closing, one question remains unanswered. What was the bottle that made me fall in love? What was that California Cab? It wasn't just one bottle. It was Soul Of A Lion from Dauo. I remember being up on Daou mountain, a light breeze blowing and the sun shining. A glass of the most beautiful Cabernet I had ever tasting resting in my hand standing with my future wife and father-in-law looking over the vines. "This feels like heaven."

Daniel Daou, founder of Daou, aimed to make the best Cabernet Sauvignon possible. He knew that he needed to find a place with the Calcareous Clay soils like Bordeaux. He found them in Paso Robles, CA where he became one of the first wine makers to bring and Cabernet Sauvignon clones. The result speaks for itself. If you ever get a chance to get a bottle, I recommend it. The feeling of that first sip is something I continue to chase. That chase used to be a hobby, but now it's my profession.

Request: Jack Harlow vs. Travis Kelce love triangle ❤️🫠 ***High Drama***

Jack made it a point ever since you got pregnant to be around more. He knew you needed extra care. Late night he’d rub your back and stomach to put you to sleep and it always worked. You we’re getting big now and it was hard to fall asleep with your baby kicking and causing a stir.

“Thank you baby” you said to him lovingly

“And what does princess want to eat?” He said assuming you needed a midnight snack

“I’m good, just hold me.” You said snuggling into him. Within minutes you were snoring but Jack was on a mission. He waited until you were in a deep sleep and reached over to the nightstand for your phone. He thought he knew the passcode but couldn’t get in. You changed it again as recently things had gotten ….complicated.

Travis was sure the baby was his. On a break with Jack you ran back to him for comfort and things happened. A lot of things. Nights on the beach, nights at his cottage, nights in Vegas and Miami. It was a whirlwind of a time. Jack came off tour, the album and movie were done, and everything changed. Once he was back home with you in Kentucky he made a new commitment to you.

In his frustration to get in your phone, Jack had a flashback of that night he was calling from Australia trying desperately to tell you goodnight….and that he loved you. That things were going to be different when he came home. Finally you picked up but were whispering. “Yo babe how are you?” He said not sure what mood you were going to be in.

“Oh hey.” You said flatly in a whisper

“Oh hey?” Jack said back offended by your disinterested tone

“What do you want me to say?” You shot back “oh no put it over there hun.” You said to someone in the background

“Hun?!! Da fuck?” Jack yelled angrily

“Why do you care?” You replied defiantly

“FaceTime. Now.” He demanded

“I can’t do that” you refused

He started a video call and got hung up on. He frantically called back several times and you didn’t answer.

“Put that boy on mute.” Travis said leaning over and taking your phone out of your hands. He hung up on Jack and tossed the phone on the sand while leaning in for a big kiss. The bonfire on the beach was roaring and Travis had a wonderful dinner catered for just the two of you. In that moment it was all about Travis. Jack was fading into the rearview. You were done with Jack being gone so much and the rumours and flirting never stopped.

When it was off season Travis had tons of time and he was spending it all with you. It wasn’t like he was a consolation prize, you were falling in love hard and fast. Travis knew you and Jack had a history that was hard to cut in on but he was no quitter.

After Jack returned to Kentucky he asked you to marry him and you had the wedding soon after. He knew Travis would take his place if he didn’t lock it down. Shortly afterwards you found out you were pregnant. Travis was convinced it was his and turned up the heat calling and texting constantly. This put Jack in a constant state of distrust. He started taking you to all functions and appearances to show Travis the bond couldn’t be broken.

Suddenly you laughed out loud in your sleep and snapped Jack back into reality. “Babe….babe…wake up your laughing again.” He said shaking you gently

“Oh Trav cut it out!!” You said giggling in your sleep.

Jack went cold and after some time staring at the ceiling he decided to go for a late walk. He had to get Travis out of your subconscious…for good. The Kentucky night air was cool. Jack shivered in his hoody but soon his walk turned into a run. He had so much negative energy to work off.

You awakened with a kick from the baby and realized Jack wasn’t in bed. You reached for your phone but noticed it was in a different spot than where you put it. A sinking feeling hit your gut. You checked your phone and had 3 missed calls from Travis. Luckily you kept it on silent. Travis was getting bolder and calling a few times a day. He was sure the baby was his and wanted to make sure you were ok. He wasn’t going to tippy toe around Jack as he was sure he was going to be a father.

Jack appeared in the doorway sweaty from his run and downing a bottle of water. “You’re up?” He said “You ok?” He said suspiciously as he peeled off his hoody and sweatpants eyeing the fact you were up and checking your phone.

“Uh mmm yup” you said adding to his suspicions “The baby was kicking and I noticed you went out so I checked to see if you had called.”

“Why would I call at this time a night when I’m out for a walk and I know you’re sleeping?” Jack asked taking another sip.

“I don’t know, I was just checking to see if you had texted or something” you said uncomfortably as you were about to call Travis back before Jack had walked in.

“If I had texted? Or HIM” Jack said and you both knew who “HIM” was.

“Jack…. no, I was just checking the time and to see if you were ok.” You lied and Jack knew it. It hit him in his heart. He knew if it wasn’t for him being gone, flirting so much, and being so absorbed in his work you would still be focused on him. His guilt was why he never questioned if the baby was Travis’s because even if it was he was in it forever with you.

“Baby, on my walk I was thinking we need counselling.” Jack said sitting down on the bed and putting his head in his hands.

“We don’t need that we just need each other.” You said trying to avoid telling all your secrets to a stranger. Things were bound to come out that you didn’t want Jack to hear. You were all in now and aside from Travis calling nothing was going on. You just couldn’t block Travis. Something in you was afraid of letting go completely just in case it didn’t work out with Jack. Things weren’t 100% yet and you had a child to think about now, but no question was Jack the love of your life, something Travis had to deal with every day.

“Counselling or block Travis completely.” Jack demanded. He knew he had some ex’s he still talked to as friends because they went way back. You knew about them, and they knew he was very much a married man. He felt like a hypocrite telling you to block Travis but some days he wanted to take your phone and throw it in the toilet.

“Ok I’ll go.” You said telling Jack everything he needed to know about how you felt about Travis. His heart sank but at least you agreed to go for counselling so there was a chance. His parents and grandparents were married for decades and with a baby on the way this had to work. You guys had to make it.

“No child of mine is going to come from a broken home.” He said as he kissed your forehead

“Come to bed.” You said pulling him back and giggling. You knew you could always be cute and distract Jack when he was getting so deep into his mind. “Take it from the side” you said playfully rolling over so he had a clear shot at you with your tummy out of the way.

“Oh for real?” Jack’s eyes lit up. These days sex was hit and miss with the baby and how you felt. He turned out the lights and snuggled behind you as he took his shorts off and lifted up the long T-shirt you slept in. One bonus of you being pregnant was wanting to be comfortable so you were often naked under your sleep T. He slid into you and for that night decided to forget you lied and wouldn’t let Travis go.

PART 2

You and Jack sat in silence in the waiting room of the therapists office listening to the clock tick. It was so awkward. Even the car ride there was such forced fake niceness. Things weren’t all that awesome sometimes and Jack knew it. He knew you were keeping Travis in your back pocket and he couldn’t blame you, but had to position himself firmly as your husband. You were his wife point blank period. Some time had passed and you were almost ready to have the baby. You were due any day now so there was no time for games. “Mr and Mrs. Harlow you can go in.” The receptionist said quietly in keeping with the cold, bare atmosphere of the office.

“I’m cold.” You said shivering and your nerves sky high.

“Here baby.” Jack said putting his Celtics jacket around your shoulders to keep you warm

“Celtics fan huh?” Dr. Smith said to Jack as he entered the office and took a seat behind his desk.

“That’s right sir.” Jack replied respectfully

“So what brings you in?” The Doctor said cutting right to it.

“Baby you go first.” Jack said to you

“Uhhh…well…I think we’re ok actually. Maybe sometimes there’s conflict but that’s normal I think.” You said clearly not wanting to be there.

“Interesting…” The doctor said writing on his notepad. This made you more nervous

“Jack, what brings you here today?” The doctor asked him.

“Well a lot actually. I don’t think we’re fine. I need my wife to know it’s only me she needs.” Jack said firmly

“Tell me more about that.” Dr. Smith said pensively looking down through his glasses at you. You felt like you were on trial.

“Well…I have gone through very busy times where I’m not there emotionally or physically. As a result my wife had an affair.” Jack explained

“I did not!!” You shot back defensively

“What do you call it then??” Jack said getting heated

“It wasn’t cheating. We weren’t married yet and were on a break.” You defended

“On a break not BROKEN UP!” Jack emphasized “I’m on the other side of the world just wanting to hear your voice and you’re on a beach with your fucking boyfriend!”

“And how many have been in your hotel room Jack?” You said painfully. Jack knew this was coming, but truthfully there were none.

“None. I came off stage and went to bed ALONE every night.” He said getting red in the face and turning away from you in his chair.

Silence filled the room and Dr. Smith finally spoke. “I see this is the first time these things have been said.” He offered calmly. “Jack, why do you think anything is still happening?”

“Because she changed the code to her phone, and the other night was up checking to see if he called.” Jack said, his hoody up now and in a mood slumped in his chair. He was turning and turning his PG ring on his finger which he did when he was upset. “Soon as I went for a walk, there she goes on her phone.”

“Trust is key to a relationship working.” Dr. Smith said looking seriously at both of you. “Y/n, are you still involved with another man?”

You didn’t expect to be asked that so bluntly. “No. Absolutely not. I love my husband.” You said assuredly

“Turn to him and tell him how you feel” the doctor said

“I have never…will ever… love anyone as much as I love you Jack.” You turned to him and pleaded.

Jack stayed looking down with his hoody up not saying anything. You realized he was crying…. hard. His shoulders started to shake with emotion and he broke down right in front of you and the doctor. “You say that.” He said between tears “but you don’t mean it.”

“Yes I do baby I love you.” You said rubbing his back now in despair

“Then let him go completely.” Jack said regaining his composure. “Or we don’t stand a chance.”

“I can see there has been a breakthrough in communication.” Dr. Smith said “Please let’s continue this conversation and calm down. Look at each other when you’re talking. No leaving the room. Make each other feel seen and heard to build back trust.”

“Ok Dr.” You said dutifully turning back to Jack

“Will do doc” Jack said still not looking at you and facing forward in anger. If Travis was there Jack would have punched him in the face.

“Oh! Oh no!” You said suddenly clutching your stomach and nearly falling off your chair. A sharp pain felt like it was splitting you in two.

“Baby!!” Jack shot up and caught you “Is it time?” He said. You nodded as you were in so much pain you couldn’t speak.

PART 3

“Remember your breathing baby” Jack said holding your hand in the back of the SUV and coaching you. Luckily Duane was driving you guys around now for when the moment hit.

Jack called his parents and Urban “We’re going in!” He said excitedly as you screamed and took deep controlled breaths. “Baby for god’s sake count and breathe.” Jack said coming away from the phone and pissing you off.

“Fuck you Jack!!” You said holding your belly in agony as you tried to focus. They got you into a wheelchair as soon as you hit the hospital. Jack called ahead to get you in the back door for privacy.

As you were leaving the therapist’s office in a whirlwind out the back, a few passers by did recognized Jack right away and snapped pics leaking them online. As you were clearly pregnant the internet was ablaze with the news before you made it to the hospital. Travis saw it on IG and sprung into action. No way was he going to miss the birth of his baby. He was temporarily renting a luxury apartment in Louisville to try to get you back. “Fuck Jack Harlow.” He said under his breath as he sped in and out of traffic headed for the hospital.

You were on the bed in a hospital gown your legs apart getting ready to push. Jack was by your side holding your hand being so annoying coaching you like it was soccer but you were so glad he was there.

“It’s the final stretch baby you got this. Breathe from your diaphragm and push on a count of 3.” Jack directed. You never wanted to hit him so bad in your life. There was so much going on in the room nobody but Jack noticed Travis slip in as he had made it down to the hospital in record time. Jack dropped your hand and marched right over to Travis chest to chest. “Shouldn’t be here bro. It’s husband’s only.” Jack said in Travis’s face trying to keep it down for you in labour.

“No fucking way bro. That’s my baby and my woman.” Travis said standing his ground.

“Only the father can be here.” The nurse said trying to bring peace. “Who is her husband?”

“I’m her fucking husband.” Jack said not taking his eyes off Travis

“I’m the father.” Travis said stubbornly not taking his eyes off Jack

“Uughhh!!!” You screamed like a wild animal sitting up for one last push. The baby was coming fast. Jack and Travis saw the crown of wild curly hair emerging and baby cried it’s first cry. The baby was lightly golden brown with hazel eyes. A beautiful combination of you and the father. The doctor announced “Its a girl!” As he handed Jack the surgical scissors to cut the cord.

Jack was the only one in a hospital gown as the husband and proudly cut the umbilical cord while Travis stood back and watched his worst nightmare play out before his eyes. You thought you saw him as you came to your senses but to you he seemed like a ghost standing there. Travis felt that cut of the cord as if it was him being cut out of a moment that he was convinced was his to have with you. You didn’t love Jack, you told him that one hot night in Miami when you swore you and Jack were done. In his mind you were just doing what you thought you had to do to keep up this image for Jack’s career that you were one big happy family. That’s one thing Travis loved about you…you were loyal to a fault.

“Trav….wha…what are you doing here?” You asked delirious and weak

“You gotta go bro.” Jack said to Travis proudly holding the baby now all ready to be handed to you.

“Sir, you have to leave, only the husband can be in this room.” The nurse reiterated showing Travis out.

Travis was furious as he walked off down the long hospital hallways vowing to get a test done as soon as possible. “I will take care of you.” He texted you knowing as soon as your head cleared you would see the message and see you were his.

“She’s gorgeous.” Jack said as your new little bundle started breastfeeding as soon as she made contact with you. He stayed beside you as you fed and were still weak. You swear you had seen Travis in the room but were not sure.

“Jack.” You managed to say hoarsely

“Yes baby?” Jack said patting your hair

“Was Travis here?” You asked

“He was.” Jack said his back stiffening “But the nurse told him to go as he’s not the husband. Had no business coming down here.” Jack said hotly

“Jack I love you.” You said “Only you.”

“I know baby shhhhhh.” He said knowing you were drained and weak.

PART 4

Both men paced outside the exam room and shot each other dirty looks. Today was the day to know who little Amber’s father was. The doctor called them into the office. “Gentlemen, come in.” The doctor said “Please sit.” He was holding an envelope in his hand. You wanted the ground to swallow you whole as Jack sat beside you and put his arm around you. Seeing that spot next to you was taken, Travis was pacing. “Results are in and….” the doctor pulled a piece of paper from the envelope that seemed to take 100 years. “…..Jack Harlow…..you are Amber’s father.”

“Fuck!!” Travis yelled and hit the wall making the baby cry and you jump. “This is bullshit.!!” He said angrily

“You wanna fucking go bro? I’m sick of your shit!” Jack said getting up and facing Travis

“Mr. Harlow please sit down.” The doctor said sternly “Mr.Kelce I am sorry but as you can imagine the Harlow’s want some time to themselves.”

“Yeah bro take a walk…like forever.” Jack ordered Travis. He sat back down and put his arm protectively around you as you calmed the baby back down. Never was he so satisfied in his life. Now you could move on…together.

“I’m leaving the room but I’m not gone.” Travis said as he stormed off

“I’m so sorry to put you through this.” You said as Jack kissed little Amber.

“I never wanted you to doubt me or us.” Jack said his blue eyes welling up with tears. He hated to admit it but he was a cryer.

As soon as you were back home and put the baby down for a nap you stood looking at your phone with more strength than you ever had and blocked Travis on everything.

“Baby you coming to watch this movie?” Jack called from the living room

“Coming babe!!” You smiled and left your phone in the bedroom. “No more interruptions.” You thought as you nestled into Jack on the couch.

Travis saw the notifications he had been blocked rapidly coming in one by one. IG, Twitter, Facebook, iMessage, WhatsApp, Snapchat, and an unfollow on his YouTube. “It won’t be that easy to get rid of me baby girl” he said

Inside Rita Ora and Taika Waititi’s Intimate, Never-Before-Seen Los Angeles Wedding

“She proposed to me, and I said yes instantly,” filmmaker Taika Waititi says of how he and singer-songwriter Rita Ora became engaged. While the pair first met at a barbecue in 2018 that Taika hosted at his house in L.A., it wasn’t until 2021, when they were both filming in Australia, that they began dating. Rita popped the question while the pair were on vacation in Palm Springs in the summer of 2022, and they planned an impromptu wedding to be held in Los Angeles a few weeks later, on August 4. “It wasn’t in London or in France like everyone reported,” Taika clarifies. “It was in L.A. with a small group of friends.”

“At our home!” Rita notes.

“Our address was…no, I’m just joking,” Taika says, laughing.

Over the past year, the two have gotten a kick out of the misinformation about their nuptials that has spread like wildfire across the internet. “It’s actually been quite entertaining for us to see the different stories people made up and all the while getting to keep it to ourselves,” Rita admits. “And, I love that we now get to share what really happened—and to do it on our one-year anniversary, no less!”

As far as the planning process goes, there wasn’t one: The entire event was dreamed up and executed in just two weeks. “There were about eight people there—just close friends and family, and parents on Zoom,” Taika says, noting he was particularly thrilled to have his best friend Jemaine Clement fly all the way over from New Zealand for the last-minute ceremony. “It was really us and my sister, Elena,” Rita says. “Elena to the rescue!”

The bride wore a Tom Ford dress and Lorraine Schwartz jewels for the intimate ceremony. “Tom Ford is one of my favorite designers of all time and favorite humans in general,” Rita says. “He’s now one of my close friends, and I adore and admire him so much. To get married in his dress was a dream come true. And because it wasn’t planned, I didn’t know if the right dress was even going to be in town, and I just took the risk and went to the Tom Ford shop, and they had it perfectly waiting with the veil, in my size, no alterations needed to be done. I mean, it was like it was meant to be, to be honest. And it just made me so happy.”

Sami Knight styled the bride’s hair in soft, loose curls, and Anthony H. Nguyen created a natural, glowy makeup look. Meanwhile, the groom wore Brunello Cucinelli (and received a touch-up or two from Rita’s makeup artist along the way).

For the ceremony itself, the couple kept things simple. “I wore my mum’s pearls that she got married in. My sister, Elena, put [the bracelet] on my wrist. It was beautiful,” Rita says. “My sister walked me down the aisle, and it was just really simple and blissful and calm and private and fun.”

“Yeah, it was beautiful,” Taika adds. “Just having close friends and not having it too big. We didn’t have table settings or any of the stressful things that go along with weddings, and it was nice to just have it super-simple. My daughters were there, and they made everything really fun and easy: I think just because we didn’t have the pressure of having caterers and all of these things, you know, people turning up late, and all of the different moving parts.”

“I felt really peaceful actually,” Rita says. “It was almost like another day. We just all dressed up and got married.”

After the ceremony, Rita and Taika went to their friend Guy Oseary’s house for a dinner party. “He was so kind to host us at the last minute,” says Rita. “We got a group of people together, and we just had a great time!” As a surprise wedding gift from a friend, an Elvis impersonator showed up to serenade them, before everyone danced the night away to a playlist of the couple’s own making.

A year later, they both are still reveling in newlywed bliss. “It’s still working!” Taika exclaims. “I can’t believe it’s been a year.”

“Same. I can’t believe it’s been a year,” Rita says. “It feels like nothing’s changed since the day I met him at the barbecue. It just feels so good to be with my best friend.”

All of the balls

Your OC is planning their wedding. Their phone is ringing off the hook and emails keep flooding their inbox. So many people are giving their opinion about what they should and shouldn't do. -How does your OC handle all of this attention? How much information do they absorb from those around them? -What are some of their coping mechanisms when things get too stressful? Would they work in this situation? -Can they rely on their partner for help and guidance? Do they provide the clarity your OC seeks?

All of the balls. 😹 (This time, I understood the instructions, lol. Thank you for this one, this actually turned into a super cute little aside and I love this as part of the eventual canon of "The Wicker Man" universe. And yes, Dick is still alive in that Universe post Doomstar, lol.)

Lucy was handling yet another email in preparation for her wedding with Pickles and Dick. When the three of them had agreed on a triple wedding for their open triad, somehow she hadn’t thought about the extra work involved attempting to coordinate everything. Dick’s family had survived, so there was a matter of planning things out with them and finally meeting them. Pickles’ family had been killed off in the Metalocalypse, save for Seth’s wife and child. Amber actually turned out to be really sweet and some part of Pickles had wanted to try to have a relationship with his nephew, but trying to arrange for Amber and Pickles’ nephew to get out to the Red Woods from Australia had been an absolute nightmare. Lucy was just happy that everyone had been able to figure out how to get wifi back and get the phones working again so quickly after the dust settled from the Doomstar.

She was handling constant serious calls from her Dad about where exactly they should set up the altar so that it would have the best lighting and planetary alignment, and “maybe you should do it on this day, babydoll, Venus is going to be in a better alignment,” and “is everyone in the crowd going to mind being witness to a ritual like this?” Her father almost seemed more anxious about her wedding than she was, but the anxiousness was starting to rub off on her. Then there were the constant texts from Murderface and Toki about what kinds of food was going to be offered, whether or not the cake was going to be sugar free and if it wasn’t could they get a small sugar free one for Toki, and ‘how are you even going to get catering after an apocalypse?’ Trying to find a supply of drugs and booze that was going to last for the three day after party that they were planning was also nothing short of a nightmare post apocalypse, though Pickles and Dick had both been exceedingly helpful in that department. At this point, she was at her wits end.

On top of the wedding, Nathan had had inspiration for a new album as a beacon of hope to everyone who had survived the Metalocalypse, so they had been working on that consistently, meaning she was on her phone and laptop in the studio figuring things out in between doing her parts. Lucy also still had other partners and intimate friends that she was trying to spend her time with. Even smoking to relax wasn’t helping as much as it normally would, and she couldn’t find the time to do any of her hobbies, so she was starting to feel a bit on edge.

When they had finished recording for the day, Lucy was still face deep in her computer, and hadn’t noticed that everyone else had left the studio. Pickles and Dick shared a look, and then looked at their fiancé, who had a sudden feeling of being watched. She looked up from the laptop at them and noticed that everyone was gone. “How long have you two been staring at me?”

Pickles shrugged, “Lahng enough to know that yer stressed beyond ahll reason.”

“Baby, you’re gonna burn yourself out if you don’t calm down about the wedding.”

“I’m calm. I’m fine. We’re only trying to plan a wedding post-apocalypse while also recording an album and everyone’s up my ass constantly with questions and I’m feeling weight of being polysaturated for the first time in my life. Why wouldn’t I be fine?”

Pickles pulled out a joint, “Here, smoke this.” She sighed, shut her laptop, and took the joint, taking a big hit and then passing it to Pickles. He took a hit and then passed it to Dick. “You need a break, Luce.”

“You know, we can help with all of this stuff,” Dick said.

“Yeah, but everyone keeps emailing me and calling me about it.”

“We’ll figure out a better system for all of this baby, we’re not just gonna let this fall on your shoulders.”

“For now though, come ahn. You need a break.”

Lucy set her laptop on a table and got up with the two of them. “Where are we going?” she asked as she held Pickles’ hand and leaned against Dick.

“It’s a surprise,” Pickles said.

They walked up to the roof, where they had had a blanket already set up. There was stoner metal going, and there was fresh fruit waiting for them. She grinned at them. “What’s this?”

“This is the pregame for the night that we gaht planned.”

“Pregame?”

Pickles pulled out a little tube with some strips of acid in it. “Got yer favorite.” Lucy got a big grin on her face.

“You’ve been real stressed lately, kitten. We figured we could take ya to space for a little while, hit the reset button.”

She looked between the two of them, remembering exactly why she was going through all of the stress of trying to get the wedding perfect, and she said, “You both have no idea how much this means to me.”

Pickles chuckled, “I think we gaht some idea.”

She sat down with the two of them and they star gazed for a little while, enjoying their fruit knowing it was going to enhance the trip later, and found happiness in the fact that they were even able to do any of this with all that they had experienced in the last few months.

Billboard USA Exclusion Zone Episode 6 (03/18/2023)

Remember two or three weeks ago when I said that there's big rift or differences between Global 200 and Global Excl US chart? Well the rift is getting more obvious when you look at the chart this week where a certain country artist album bombed the Global 200. But, in this chart he only charted one song. Well let's talk about it in detail soon.

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

16. "on the street" by j-hope ft. J Cole

You know J Cole has stated that his career from 2013 onward is always trying to erase "Work Out", his first charting hit, from people's memories because Nas didn't like the song. Well not only is the beat to this song is significantly worse than "Work Out", but you can't even stay on beat. I am not a fan of J Cole and even I'm disappointed in this.

42. "Shorty Party" by Cartel de Santa ft. La Kelly

This sounds like if "Therefore I Am" by Billie Eilish was 50% less good and in Spanish and the song was sung by Pop Smoke.

103. "Last Night" by Morgan Wallen

So I am in this community filled with chart nerds and music reviewers. And the running joke is always that Morgan Wallen, as much as he's one of the biggest artists in America, never charted in Global Excl US chart. Even with the album nuke that happened in Global 200, people expected that the song won't chart. But thanks to Canada and Australia, we have the first Morgan Wallen song to debut.

This song and Morgan Wallen's popularity as a whole has been a contention in the music twitter sphere because he seems to be more popular after the n word incident. This incident brings up the debate of separate the art from the artist. I hate to say it but the whole Morgan Wallen persona has always been that he's drunk asshole. So there's still lingering sense that the incident is him in the song. In Last Night too he talked about a breakup and there's a mentioned of alcohol in it. So yeah you can't really separate the art from the artist here.

But that raise another question, why is his popularity in the United States is massive despite what the stan twitter led you believe. Well the truth is most of the Morgan Wallen's listeners aren't on twitter. They're the silent majority and the silent majority is overall the most powerful listeners in America at least. And also that he has embraced streaming, it created the perfect formula for US popularity but not for worldwide.

This also proves that popular music has become more regionalized thanks to the streaming era. Just look at the stark differences between Hot 100, Canadian Hot 100, UK Official Chart, and Japan Hot 100. Yeah they might have some overlap, but most of the songs that appeared on these charts catered to those regions. This is a stark difference even just from six years ago. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

120. "Mas Rica Que Ayer" by Anuel AA, Mambo Kingz, DJ Lulan

Phew that was a lot that I have to say about Last Night. Thank god after that it'll be brief. This song is just your standard reggaeton from a guy that most Americans knew from his song with 6ix9ine.

148. "El Azul" by Junior H X Peso Pluma

The low end of this song is fucked I'm sorry. It's like there's an earthquake in the middle of a wedding.

165. "Sem Alianca no Dedo" by MC Xenon & Gemeos Da Putaria

This sounds like if Clipping circa their horrorcore era made a Brazilian song and just forgot to mix the vocal properly. Also I heard that most Brazilian songs sampled Say It Right percussion so take that as you will.

176. "Red Ruby Da Sleeze" by Nicki Minaj

You know I think that the record execs from the early 90's that sued De La Soul and Biz Markie had some points you know.

179. "El Merengue" by Marshmello ft. Manuel Turizo

I thought that Marshmello is done ruining genres across the globe? But that Despecha song is popping so here we are.

187. "M.A (Mejores Amigos)" by BM

This song is strange. It's like a mix between reggaeton, corrido, and a hints of EDM there? I'm confused

192. "Numb" by Linkin Park

At least this week's debut ended with one of the best hit songs of the 2000's.

I highly recommend everyone to check out these songs.

That last comment ^

As a side note, there are borders in the UK that are closer than France. Ireland, Wales and Scotland are right there. While there are some cultural commonalities, they are distinct countries with their own cultures and so on.

I think the big thing that a lot of people don't realise is how young Europeans tend to leave their country. To give an example, here's some of my youthful travel history.

As an English kid, I was one of the last in my class to have left the country. I was maybe 9? Family holiday to Cyprus. It was the first time my Dad had left the country. He was in his thirties at the time. This stuff is very heavily influenced by class - he grew up working class and me and my sisters grew up sort of lower middle class/working class. By the time I finished primary school, we'd been to Spain and Tunisia, as well. Most kids my age had been going abroad for years at that point, even if it was only on cheap package deals to tourist spots that cater to Brits abroad. Even then, however, my primary school organised student trips to Wales, which is, again, another country.

My secondary school organised trips to Europe each year after the first - alternating between France and Germany. So year 8 was France, Year 9 was Germany, Year 10 was an exchange with a French school, and Year 11 was an exchange with a German school. I knew a lot of kids who could afford all four, but my family couldn't. So I did the year 8 France trip and the year 11 German exchange. There were yearly skiing trips to various destinations, but I never went on those.

They also organised trips to North and South America, when I was in sixth form, assuming you chose the appropriate subjects to study (ie: 18) - I attended one of each, so I had a week in San Francisco with my sociology class, and two weeks in Honduras, helping at a conservation camp in the rainforest, and learning to dive off the coast with my biology class. My younger sister had a trip to Beijing with her sociology class at the same school. My uncle (also at the same school) visited Moscow on a politics class trip before the Iron Curtain fell. There was also a biology research trip to the Isle of Man that I attended. (Which is a self governing crown dependency, which means that it isn't part of the UK, but does share a monarch with us, while also not being its own sovereign state, but having its own laws and so on. It's complicated and I don't understand it at all, but I needed my passport to travel there, so it counts as 'another country' functionally.)

Later, my undergraduate degree required me to live in both Germany and the Netherlands for half a year. I studied languages, and that was, at the time, a standard required part of the university curriculum in Europe. (I'm not sure how Brexit has affected it these days, but I'm certain it isn't for the better.)

Here's the kicker, though: for pretty much the entirety of my childhood, I wasn't as well travelled as most of my friends. To this day, I'm less well travelled than many of my peers because I haven't visited Asia or Australia, or any part of Africa south of Tunisia or Morocco. (though not for lack of trying - we had a trip to Japan planned before covid and my cousin in law's Australian wedding that both fell through, unfortunately.)

The point I'm getting at is, even if it's only for a week every other year, the ability to travel somewhere with different currency and language and cultural norms as a little kid? And have that be normal? And have some small exposure to different ways of living? What that does for your developing brain and (hopefully, if you aren't being a racist/colonialist prick about it) your way of seeing the world is utterly invaluable.

I wish more Americans had those sorts of opportunities. You've (theoretically, given money for a flight, or gas) got access to different biomes and subtly different cultures, but there isn't a state where people flat out don't/aren't encouraged to believe in standard American values. They make all of you recite that damn pledge daily in schools FFS. It's fucked up, and you all deserve better working conditions and affordable travelling costs to help enable that.

Not to sound like a complete hippy, but travel really does broaden your mind and your horizons, even if it's only in tiny increments.

since moving here ive noticed europeans have no concept of how few americans ever leave USA. every american tourist youve met is of an economic crust that is vastly unobtainable to the other like. 85% generously. no matter what you have believed i can guarantee this. even getting to canada isnt really a possibility and the mexico-US border is highly controlled and militarized.

to put it into perspective. a ~2 hour flight from london to warsaw is like. 30 to 45 USD?

and a 2 hour flight from one US city to another would be about 130 USD

it was very cheap to fly here. i make over 100k USD now and i dont know if ill ever be able to afford leaving. if that gives you an idea of how prohibitive travel is here. i havent even touched on how the US has Zero guaranteed holidays by the govt. many people here go years without ever having an entire week off of work

this has had a like. massive impact on American Brain and they dont even know it because travel isnt even a consideration economically. they dont even know how much more vacation time european countries have guaranteed
