[yr-obedt-cicero]

I’m so sorry for asking this if it does become a long ask but i honestly don’t know who else to ask in general about this and your blog is always such a great read. When it came to JCH and William what were their personalities like, bonus questions of you don’t mind, why did they have such rivalry was it always like that? Sorry if you already answered this, have a nice day!

John and William were nearly polar opposites, actually.

John was a decently uptight, mature, perfectionist, and almost bookworm-ish man. He prioritized his appearance and name a lot. Mainly because he was part of the rich elitist class, and married into wealth. Elizabeth once described him as being “industrious” as a child. He also came across as being a bit prudish, and even socially-reserved.

While William was an energetic and outdoorsy young man with an adventurous spirit, and had passion that didn't suit the aristocratic upperclassmen society that his family was a part of. Due to William's preference for the rugged lifestyle, he had never fit in with his brothers or the North. And while described as being a social and outgoing man by his close friends, he was very reserved and distant to others. Likely because of his defying characteristics that shocked most of those who had presumptuous expectations of what “the great statesman's” son should have been like. He often faced harsh judgement due to such.

Although I really wouldn't say William and John had a “rivalry”, per se. I can't say much in regards to William's childhood, or about his relationships with his individual siblings, but it seems like William had been alienated from all of his brothers in general. Likely because of their differing political beliefs (Which also seems to have played a part in James's fued with Alexander Jr). Most of Hamilton's sons were Jacksonian Democrats, while William was a Whig. And additionally, as I said before; William did not find himself comfortable in the wealthy higher-up class that his brothers were associated with. Also because William decided to moved half across the country, so it would have been hard to contact him or see him. Muldoon claims that his family was repulsed by the rumors that William was romancing with a particular family member that was a woman, but gives no sources and I haven't seen any implication of this.

They did seem to have a bit of friction though, particularly concerning William's nephew, and JCH's third child; John Cornelius Adrian Hamilton. Major source here being; Rough Diamond: The Life of Colonel William Stephen Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton's Forgotten Son, by A. K. Fielding. Cornelius was apparently a little bit of a “problem child” of John's, and was becoming more and more estranged from his family due to his disapproving actions. While studying at Princeton, John may have heard rumors about Cornelius's poor habits in college and decided that an overseas voyage to China would benefit his career path, to which he did for three years without much protest. After his return, he met Angeline in New York. Born in 1816 to Captain John Romer and Leah Van Tassel Romer, Angeline was four years older than Cornelius. But despite the differences in age and upbringing, the two seem to have been happily in love, and they married on September 13, 1838. Apparently John Church was disapproving of the match, but didn't stop the wedding.

It's likely John was too embarrassed to introduce his new daughter-in-law to his friends in the New York elite society, so he sent Cornelius and Angeline West with promises of giving them property there. And so the newly wedded couple traveled from New York to Springfield, Illinois, where Cornelius worked as an engineer until August 19, 1839. It is there, the two likely met their uncle William.

On August 1, 1839, that Angeline gave birth to their firstborn son, named after William Stephen Hamilton. Sometime in 1839-1840, William took in Cornelius and his family in Wiota at Hamilton's Diggings. In 1841, the couple had their second child, named Edgar Augustus Hamilton (Who would later write admirably about his great uncle). Apparently, William tried many times to encourage Cornelius to get a paying job. Once trying to convince him to become a lawyer, and then later a surveyor, but it isn't known if he ever took either.

Later during 1842-1845, letters between the family in New York showcase a growing rift between them. A letter from E. W. Turner - an acquaintance from Galena, Illinois - written May 19, 1842, indicates that JCH was concerned about “conflicting statements” he had heard about his son's behavior. Turner followed up with another letter in June that notified John Church that he had “made strict inquiry with regards to the unfavorable news you had of [John Cornelius] and find it only partially confirmed” and that; “his uncle William has been [...] more than he has for any slight deviation from morality which he may have been guilty of as well as the society he has been forced into at his present place of residence-Wiota.” He reassured John that his son could purchase farmland and settle in Galena instead, but then says that Cornelius isn't fond of doing such. Which means, having lived under William's roof, had only urged Cornelius's defiant behavior. That clearly only enraged John more, and must have taken a toll on William's and John's relationship.

Anyway, the rest of the story doesn't have much to do about William. In 1844, Cornelius followed his father's orders and left his wife and children — after he and Angeline had become strained with time. Angeline and her children stayed with William, and she was likely the woman many had rumored to have been William's “mistress” (Once again, there's not much of any evidence to actually support this). I wonder if William and John were ever close as children, since they weren't too many years apart, and the children were usually always partnered into two when going someplace or doing something. If they had, it fell apart in adulthood as many of William's relationships with his siblings did.

a few days ago, i was told i look like a monkey. I have nothing against monkeys, so i know the guy was just trying to bait me into a reaction. this guy was using a slur for Japanese people, many of whom I have great respect for and I don't like hearing slurs. so i asked him to cool it which he took as an opportunity to escalate the situation into violence. he continued to say something about people needing to go back to "their own country." when I asked him what if he was talking to me, he asked me, "what are you going to do about it?" and came towards me. thankfully, a library staff member intervened, telling him to leave. i didn't insult or threaten him, though i did stand up to protect myself. in the old days... well, instead of internalizing his insult, i have decided to see the hidden reason he would try to get into my head like that. i know it's more about him than me. it's how this world wants us to do to one another. to make us "the other" or a thing, but I know i'm growing, so i will not let it affect me.

New Pizza Experience

Saturday morning’s blood sugar dropped a point, to 133. It might have been the fudgesicle after dinner last night. It could have been the potatoes for lunch yesterday.

After finishing our coffee and brain games, we made breakfast sandwiches with sourdough bread, bacon, egg and cheese. Nancy is not happy with the coffee we got at Costco recently. It’s dark roast, but it’s an espresso blend, so it’s too bitter for her. We will find something else to blend with it and smooth out the taste.

She got on the phone with the piano people after breakfast and ordered the delivery of the digital instrument she liked on our visit Friday. According to the folks at the store, the delivery might be as soon as this Wednesday.

We checked with our duplex neighbor about a package that was supposedly delivered to us. The photo taken at the time of the delivery was definitely not from our stoop, but it looked like it might be the neighbor’s. He thought it was a package from his mom for his upcoming birthday, but he was planning to return it to us once he discovered it was not for him. We are surprised the delivery person did not notice the difference in the address. Perhaps he did not realize it was a duplex, which is kind of surprising.

Nancy and I took a slow walk for 2.2 miles, a pace of just about 24 minutes per mile. It was sunny and warm-ish, so I thought I might walk another couple of miles later. But I decided to pass on another walk when I woke up from a nap due to soreness in my hips and legs.

About 4 p.m. we went to dinner at Mezza Luna, a pizza place in downtown Springfield. Nancy suggested going there because the recent Eugene Weekly’s “best of” issue ranked it as one of the best pizza places in the area. We got two slices, one with just pepperoni and the other one with pepperoni, bacon, spinach and feta cheese. Both were quite tasty, and we’ll be going back to try more from their menu.

After eating, we started for Costco to get gas and buy a few groceries, but we got caught up in the traffic leaving today’s Oregon Ducks football game at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks beat the Fighting Illini 38-9, improving their record to 8-0 on the season.

While we were eating our pizza, we noticed a flyer for an appearance by Jonatha Brooke at the WOW Hall in November, so since we were waiting for the traffic to advance, I played an album by The Story, the duo of Jonatha and Jennifer Kimball, because Nancy was unfamiliar with the music. She enjoyed it, but the solo work by Jonatha I played later did not impress her, so we abandoned our plans to get tickets for the concert.

We made our Costco run, got gas, and bought a few groceries, then got home without too much more traffic nonsense. Except for the jerks who don’t know how to drive and don’t bother turning on their headlights even at dusk.

When we finally sat down for the evening’s streaming, we started with the final show in the current “Ridley” series, starring Adrian Dunbar on PBS. We followed that with the first episode of the new series of AcornTV’s “Whitstable Pearl,” based on the books by Julie Wassmer and starring Kerry Godliman. We closed with the third episode in the new series of “Shrinking,” which ended with a song called “Letting Go” by Australian musician Angie McMahon and its repetitive chorus of “it’s okay, make mistakes.”

8, 9, 32 and H, G, F !!

doing this with Adrian!!

8-What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child?

"Adrianne, stop putting on your fathers clothes- no- STOP IT-"

Adrian knew he was trans from a young age and he stole his dad's clothes as a kid

9-Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word?

Adrian said he'd never swear, but then his friend tricked him into saying "Shit". then, he swore like a motherfucking sailor

32-Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke? 

Adrian: Hey, Hey Edd. I lost one of my rings.

Edd: Oh, you need me to help you find it?

Adrian: Yeah. Any idea where my... *holds up ringo* Ring-go?

Edd: ...that's terrible

H-What trait do you admire most?

His unapologetic desire to be himself probably

G-What trait of theirs bothers you the most?

His characterization makes him a little shit and he projected onto me after i projected onto him. i now use he/it pronouns

F-What do you feel when you think of your OC (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?

Mostly, a sense of "It me!! :D"

[theaviskullguy]

dont have the art but i have his info

his name is adrian springfield. he's an autistic he/it trans man with a hyperfixation on music and music history. he has anger issues but deals with them by getting into weirdly passionate debates with the others about trivial topics (it quotes the "THEN EITHER SONIC IS A GOD" speech at one point, probably to Matt)

yknow how every peep in ew has a color? Adrian's is black. he wears a black hoodie, black jeans, and combat boots. He's dyed his hair black with a red streak, and the only color that isnt black or red is its blue beanie. It also wears glasses. this all makes it seem paler than he is

he's very small, and agile, and the gang take advantage of this. Guitar pick falls under Tom's bed? welp, adrian needs to go fish it out. They somehow got locked out of the house? Adrian is sent to climb through a window or sometimes the cat flap (which is bigger than it seems) to let the others in

does he have a crush on edd? kind of! does edd like adrian back? that's up in the air! tom and adrian get along well- both like music of similar genres, and matt is the volunteer for the randomly passionate arguments with adrian most of the time

he doesnt have an ellsworld counterpart but id imagine if it did she'd be a she/it trans woman who has the name adrianne

10 Amazing Futurama Comics

There is a severe lack of Futurama content on this and other sites (seriously, the Night at the Museum movies have more fics than Futurama). And, nobody posts about the Futurama comics. So I’m posting 10 of my favorites.

10. Attack of the 50-Foot Amy (Issue #33)

It’s actually not as sexual as the cover makes it out to be. The basic premise is that Amy mistakes the can of growth spray (that Cubert and Dwight want to use for their science fair project) for hair spray and sprays waaaay too much before her anniversary date with Kif. Meanwhile, Bender teaches Fry the wonders of video piracy, but after he gets scared by a movie home alone style he eats his disc of pirated movies and starts uncontrollably acting them out. You can probably guess how these two plots connect.

While I do list this one as one of my favorites, it’s far from perfect. The artwork is good, but the scaling on Amy is very wonky so she looks more like a twenty-foot Amy (also Dwight’s eyes are drawn weird in this comic, he looks blazed out the entire time). But I cannot help but be charmed by this comic. It’s got some sweet Bender and Fry friendship moments and actually makes me believe Kif and Amy’s relationship for a little bit. They are very sweet in this comic, although Kif does go through some pain in this comic.

Best moments: They way they resolve the plot is actually pretty funny and clever, plus Bender hopped up on pirated movies is a joy. At one point Fry gets shoved by Steven Spielbot (don’t ask) and Bender goes all Rocky on his ass saying “No one talks to my gal, Adrian, like that!” It’s very sweet and...subtextual if you understand my meaning. This one also has anti comic book piracy message at the end which was ironic for me to read.

9. Doctor What (Issue #32)

The Professor creates a time traveling port-a-potty so that you can pee in whatever time and space you want, although it’s completely random. However, Zoidberg accidentally breaks the potty, so him, Leela, Fry, and Bender have to keep randomly flushing to get back home. On each of these new worlds Zoidberg keeps accidentally saving the citizens, getting medals, and ends up becoming addicted to the fame he keeps winning. Which leads to them getting stuck in a post apocalyptic New New York.

This is the infamous Leela-Bender-Fry fusion comic, Leelan von Fry-Bot. His backstory is actually a little sad, but I won’t spoil it here. This one is pretty good, because it has Zoidberg as the hero. Actually quite a few of these feature Zoidberg as a fourth member of the delivery crew which is weird, but not entirely unwelcome. It’s also fun to see these other worlds, and now that I think about it it’s actually a little similar to The Late Phillip J. Fry, what with the time travel to different interesting worlds.

Best Moments: I actually liked Leelan’s backstory, and his interactions with his “parents” (you’ll understand when you read it) are actually pretty funny and a little cute. Fry really wants to be a dad you can tell.

8. The Simpsons Futurama Crossover Crisis II

The professor creates a device that takes characters out of their stories into the real world. Trouble is, he tells the mayor that this invention is useful because you can get slave labor out of the characters because they technically have no constitutional rights. The Simpsons end up working with the Planet Express crew, but an accident leads to the release of ALL FICTIONAL CHARACTERS EVER.

This is a sequel comic to the Futurama Simpsons Infinitely Secret Crossover Crisis (fun fact: a reference to several famous comic book arcs). I chose this one above it though because I think it understood the assignment better. The original is funny, but I just don’t think that Springfield is a good setting for a Futurama crossover. Springfield for all its zaniness, is not the future. New New York, however, is great for this crossover. We get several scenes where we see the Simpsons going through space and fighting off monsters. We even get to see the other residents of Springfield in the future, Mr. Smithers becomes a space pirate and Mr. Burns falls in love with Mom, it’s great.

Best Moments: Some of them I already mentioned, but I cannot stress enough how hilarious the Burns-Mom romance is, it’s especially good when you can hear their voices in your head. I also like the friendship the Simpsons have with the Planet Express crew.

7. Six Characters in Search of a Story (Issue #14)

This is a very interesting comic. The Professor falls asleep, so to pass the time the crew decides to look through his old failed inventions, and well, that’s a very bad idea. The most interesting thing about this comic is it’s designed so that if you want you can only read certain panels to follow one person’s story. The Futurama comics do this a lot of the time and it’s always interesting.

The shenanigans that occur in this one are really funny, and there are some great looking pages in this. Also the Futurama crew clearly took ideas from the comics, and this is one of them. You can tell from the cover art that this does have elements of “Benderama” in it, what with Bender cloning himself ad infinitum. I also really like the climax, it’s a little schmultz-y for Futurama, but I don’t mind.

Best Moments: Fry gets stuck with a Spanish speaking Bender and I don’t know why but it’s really funny to me. The professor also gets some funny moments in this one. And Scruffy. Scruffy is always a delight.

6. Igner-ance is Bliss! (Issue #63)

Yeah this is the infamous robot Leela and Fry comic. Don’t worry, like the cover says, it’s not as dramatic as it looks. The crew has to go to a world that’s too dangerous for humans, so Fry, Leela, and Zoidberg all have their consciousnesses put into robot doubles so they can make the delivery. However, it turns out this planet is a sort of getaway spa for robots, and the crew decides to party it up there, at least until Bender discovers that this is a front for an evil plot by Mom. The subplot is mostly about how Igner is not respected by his brothers.

This one is fun, and I love a comic where Bender has to be the voice of reason. It is clearly killing him to be the responsible one, but I love it. Also, I have a soft spot for Igner, so it’s nice to see him get thrown a bone for once. This also has some really fun jokes with everyone, but Zoidberg in particular gets some bangers. I think my only problem is it ISN’T as cool as the cover makes it out, but like I’m happy with what it is.

Best Moments: Fry beats up Bender at one point and wins, I think he deserved it. Also, y’all know Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars? He makes some cameos in this one. Also all the robots (sans Bender) make a Japanese style mecha and it’s the coolest thing ever. Plus everything I’ve said about Igner I love in this one. Oh also Fry beats Calculon at poker and I really love that.

5. Who’s Dying to be a Gazillionaire? (Issue #5)

This one is sweet. The IRS is threatening to bankrupt Planet Express, and if they can’t think of a way to make a million dollars they will go out of business. No one really has any ideas and doesn’t even really care, except for Fry who is determined to save Planet Express. He gets the idea to go onto Who Wants to be a Gazillionaire to make the money, even though it’s a trivia show and if he loses he will die.

This one really warms my heart, it’s Fry at his best, just doing what he can for the people he loves. Even the professor is great in this one. I don’t want to spoil it, but trust me when I say it’s good (god I hope I’m not building this up too much).

Best moments: The end panel. But also the resolution of the story is great, and I really appreciate this comic for Fry as a character.

4. Rumble in the Jungle (Issue #38)

This is a fine comic. Leela is mad that she’s not being respected by Fry and Bender, and it’s bad enough that they don’t believe her when she says they’re going to crash into a planet. They end up parachuting down and getting separated. Leela ends up as queen of some workers in the “Amazon,” meanwhile Fry finds Bender’s corpse and goes off to avenge him.

This one is fun, and another fun one for Fry, because he’s determined to avenge Bender and works hard for it. This also includes the original Frender, not the ship but fusion. Leela and Fry even have a fight scene against each other and it’s honestly great.

Best Moments: Fry is great throughout the entire comic, and Leela spends most of her time beating up random animals. Bender also using a lead parachute he made out of toys he stole from children is funny, especially because I’m always a sucker for Bender doing dumb shit.

3. Don’t Go Taking My Heart! (Issue #69) (nice)

Mom only has a couple weeks to live, unless she can get a heart transplant. It’s revealed that Mom uses the cryogenics lab to get new body parts for herself, and that Fry was supposed to be her heart donor! Unfortunately, because he was unfrozen she now has to get him to work for Mom Corp to make sure his heart stays intact for the procedure.

If you can’t tell I love the Fry-centric comics, and I also like the comics where Mom is the villain. Of course this comic doesn’t go completely how you expect it to go, it’s actually REALLY sweet. I also love the fact that in this comic Fry actually makes a great intern. He basically has the job of a secretary and he’s GOOD at it. And I love seeing when Fry is good at things. The reason why I put this at only 3 is because it doesn’t really have a subplot. Bender gets a job at mom corp to but it’s only there for a couple pages, and Leela’s new crew gets two panels and that’s it.

Best Moments: The moments with Mom and Fry, but also guess who Mom’s doctor is? I’m actually not going to reveal it because it’s so random but also hilarious.

2. Boomsday! (Issue #58)

The Professor builds Bender his own parents, as a way to placate/discipline Bender. However, these parents decide that Fry is a bad influence on Bender, leading to them kicking him out. Meanwhile, the Professor’s doomsday devices are all stolen, and he has to go find them.

Both of these plots are funny and good. Bender’s plot is also really sweet what with his friendship with Fry, and his wish for parents. Meanwhile the Professor’s plot is just really funny and I do love seeing the Professor in his element. The ending is mostly heartwarming.

Best Moments: Everything with Fry and Bender, and Bender has a sweet relationship with his fake parents. Also, the Professor uses Issac Asimov candles on the robot mafia which I found a great joke. Oh, and the Professor’s first doomsday device was made when he was four years old and I love that. The end of the comic also has very nice message.

1. Rotten to the Core (Issue #27)

The world’s weather has gone kerflooey, and the Professor has figured out that his invention that can drill into the center of the Earth has been used. It conspires that Bender sold it at a yard sale to some aliens call the magmoids. The magmoids are trying to steal magma from the Earth’s core and the crew has to go and stop them.

This is my favorite because it’s a great character comic. All of the main three have great moments, and it’s also a great science comic. The Earth’s core is incredibly magnetic so of course Bender starts spouting out folk songs, and also SECRETS. I can’t believe no one has used the fact that canonically magnets make Bender incapable of telling lies. Anyway, it’s just really fun.

Best Moments: Way too many to count. Bender and Fry are told to cut out the “Brokeback Moanin,’“ Leela and Fry are bitter at the end, Fry tells story about his childhood, Bender has some great secrets to tell, the Professor gets a really fun ending, Bender has a rare moment of generosity, and the entirety of the climax is all kinds of fun and sweet.
