The Raincoats as photographed by Janette Beckman for Rough Trade records while rehearsing in London for their 1979 debut album. As the photographer recalls: "...I went to shoot them at their rehearsal space, but if you look at that picture, you can see that it's a toilet. They were literally in the bathroom practicing. It's just so punk and the place is kind of a wreck."

Ana da Silva and Gina Birch formed the group in 1977 after seeing the Slits perform. As Birch stated in an interview, "It was as if suddenly I was given permission. It never occurred to me that I could be in a band. Girls didn’t do that. But when I saw The Slits doing it, I thought, ‘This is me. This is mine.’ Palmolive, the Slits' ex-drummer at the time, actually joined them in '78, performing with the line-up that played live and recorded the debut album.

A weird fact for this all-girl band that was influential for so many female artists, is that it actually took a guy to help younger generations re-appreciate them and that's why the Raincoats somehow always seem to be mentioned along with Curt Cobain, since his enthusiasm for their music brought them back from obscurity in the '90s after citing them as one of his favourite bands and writing the liner notes for the reissues of their albums.

If you ask me, I think ol' Johnny Rotten was spot on when he said that: "The Raincoats offered a completely different way of doing things, as did X-Ray Spex and all the books about punk have failed to realise that these women were involved for no other reason than that they were good and original".

thinking about the freshman year classes of harding pencroft...go on. click it ↘

each house having a few specific subskills naturally caused me to believe that the students of each house only learned those skills. however, ana mentioned learning military tactics (a skill specific to house shark) and marine biology (a skill specific to house orca), which makes me think that all skills are taught to all students, without limiting what a student from each house can learn. i really like this because it contributes to the concept that no house is better than another and all of them are vital to harding pencroft.

so, i think that each freshman takes a general class for each of the three houses that they aren't in, listed below:

marine communications: a general class representing the skills of house dolphin*

military tactics: a general class representing the skills of house shark

applied mechanics: a general class representing the skills of house cephalopod*

marine biology: a general class representing the skills of house orca

*for these classes, i took some of the terms used to describe the skillset of the house to make up a class name.

basically, a student from house dolphin like ana would take military tactics, applied mechanics, and marine biology because those are the houses they're not in.

that covers three periods of their schedule, but what about their house? each house has a specific skillset, as i mentioned above, and the main skills are listed below.

house dolphin: communications, exploration, cryptography, counterintelligence*

house shark: command, combat, weapons systems, logistics

house cephalopod: engineering, applied mechanics, innovation, defensive systems

house orca: medicine, psychology, education, marine biology, communal memory

*some of the other skills mentioned in the book for this house were navigation and counterespionage.

what i'm thinking, is that, for their fourth period, a student can choose one of the skills from their house to focus on. they can go anywhere in the school (besides the gold-level areas) to study and learn. the library is endless, the machine rooms are available, and the aquariums are always open. they can even consult teachers for help. however, most of this class is self-guided, to focus on what the student wants to do.

if they don't feel content with the skill they've chosen, they can switch. they can also choose to focus on multiple skills from their house if they feel comfortable taking it on. additionally, if a student wants to graduate from two houses (their main house and an honorary house) like ophelia, they can use half the time to focus on their chosen skill from their main house, and their chosen skill from their honorary house.

the fourth period goes with the fifth period. the fifth period is basically the team regroup. the five students from each house come together, and led by the house prefect, do some sort of team building activity. for example, the freshman class of house dolphin might spend their time together solving a set of riddles in different forms of marine communication, while the freshman class of house cephalopod work to design a hypothetical device that solves a real-world problem. this is a way for the students work with others from their house after a self-guided period and display the skill they've examined in their personal study.

besides all of this, students are also obligated to take some other classes, such as theoretical marine science, and physical fitness. i'd assume there would be rotations, so they wouldn't have to take a class like physical fitness everyday.

for sophmores and above, i think classes would probably be in a similar format. i don't know much about the gold-level classes/areas, so i can't really predict how they would be incorporated.

in conclusion, that's what i think the freshman classes would look like at harding pencroft. feel free to share your thoughts!

✩📜🏚️Series Review:

⋆ Enemies to lovers

⋆ Forbidden love

⋆ Different protagonists each book

“The Four Horsemen” quartet ruined me for other books.

I said it before and I’ll say it again. Thalassa’s unique undertaking of writing a romance novel for each of the four horsemen of the apocalypse blew me away! Thalassa characterizes each of the four horsemen so well and successfully makes them distinctive from one another.

Additionally, I really love the leading ladies in this series. All four women are strong in their own way and shaped by their vastly different pasts. I was completely captivated by their respective storylines and the ways in which they were romanced by their horsemen.

I hope that Thalassa will consider returning to this world in the future or writing other post-apocalyptic romance novels because I. NEED. MORE!
