ABOUT

In 1997 state-wide news stories were inundated with questions about the discovery of a body. It was found at an abandoned site of self built homes by unsuspecting tourists, nestled deep in the rural landscape of Hopeful, Georgia. Eventually, the remains were identified as Jonas Watson (an ex criminal who had been missing since the 60s) and soon another body was found belonging to his wife, Edith Watson, another missing person from a similar time frame. Suddenly the mystery of Hopeful was on the tip of everybody’s tongue, picked up continuously by the media as law enforcement tried to piece together their limited evidence. Why were Jonas and Edith missing for so long before they were killed? Who else lived in Hopeful? How many of them were there? Where did they all go?

Born in Hopeful,Georgia to Jonah and Edith Watson, Hawk and his brother grew up in a cult led by their father who was about as much of a spiritual leader as the devil. His anger was never talked about but it was certainly felt by his two boys on more than a few occasions. Between Hawk and Bear, Hawk was the more talkative of the two, often getting them into trouble for comments that were deemed disrespectful, both of them being punished. Similarly, Bear's reticent nature meant that curt answers frustrated their father to violence, wanting more of a reaction from his older brother, so he’d punish both. 

Their mother, a weak-willed woman with a timid heart, swallowed her tears at the wrath her boys received. She knew it would only make things worse for them. She was to be the perfect wife to their congregation’s leader and respectful of any decisions he made. But eventually things got so bad, between broken bones and concussions that surely rattled things around in their heads, the boys finally spoke up. They urged her to leave, for all three of them to escape their father’s iron fist and when they were 16 and 17, they made a run for it. 

Of course, Jonah had eyes and ears everywhere and when they tried running away, other members of the congregation caught the three of them and brought them to him for punishment. Hawk’s blocked out that day. All he remembers is the ax in hand one moment, the shovel in hand the next. The anger that carried him through the next two years before he and Bear managed to take revenge on their father, leaving the cult and the past behind them. 

The years would render the events of Hopeful, Georgia an unsolved mystery, something talked about but never solved, which is just as well for the Weston brothers. A clever name change and several towns and cities later, they found themselves in Atlanta about four years after leaving their old life in the past.  Settling in Center Hill and within the ranks of the Reapers was only natural and over the years Hawk found some friends and connections within the gang. He still prefers Bear’s company most because his brother lets him talk as much as he wants without concerned looks about what he says.

When he’s not working with the Reapers, Hawk is a FedEx delivery man, having put in 22 years with the company. He’s looking at early retirement at 55, but that’s still a few years away. He does check in with his accountant (or the accountant he's intimidated into handling his finances) every few weeks just to make sure he's looking good. No one knows how he’s done it, stayed with FedEx for so long, but there’s never been a late package on Hawk’s watch, mostly because he drives like a demon and tosses packages like they’re grenades. And when it comes to work with the Reapers, it’s understandable that Hawk’s explosive nature and Bear’s intense one, means they’re not exactly the A-team when it comes to carefully executed jobs. More so the sort you bring in when someone needs to be sent a very strong, very clear message. He’s been put on probation the past few months because during their last job, he might’ve sent their last message a little too clearly.

The guy Noah followed recently gives off Will’s new love interest vibes. I genuinely don’t think Will’s going to end up with this hypothetical character, but it still makes sense for them to show a boy being interested in Will and them interacting a couple of times, with other people around potentially to witness it, like Mike and the party or Jonathan. 

Apparently Noah followed him a couple days ago, and while he does follow Noah back, I don’t know if he did it recently. The only other cast-members he currently follows are Caleb and Jamie.

What makes me think this might be a possibility is that he does have the kind of resume that I think would intrigue the Duffers/Carmen. He had a minor role in The Black Phone alongside Ethan Hawke, which is based in the late 70’s and gives off ST vibes. And just a couple weeks ago he finished filming a horror movie in ATL where he starred alongside the actor who played Elliot in E.T. This movie also appears to be based in the 60’s. So he’s definitely got the calibre to pull off an 80’s look.

I know Noah is random, but this is a little too random to me. This actor is fairly unknown right now? He just so happens to have a resume that would interest the Duffers? Not to mention, he’s 17 so even if he was just playing a random role in s5, it couldn’t be someone Holly or Jon’s age. He’d likely play a character around the age of the party.

Now we just have to give him a name.

i also noticed the follow and had similar thoughts about what his role might be but let me now say why i think that maybe it’s not that. i do think he’s been cast in s5, it makes sense because he’s located in atlanta and his resume fits the show just like you mentioned but i don’t think he’ll be playing will’s love interest.

i don’t know how to explain this but i feel like at this point noah follows people on his main that he’s okay with people checking out, if you get what i mean. we know because of the leakers that will is supposed to have some kind of love interest in s5 but that to me seems like is an important piece of information that says a lot about the plot. i checked and it’s not a recent follow from that guy’s side and the caleb and noah follows are really spaced out, so on his side i think it’s not a hint of anything. i feel like noah would be advised to keep it really under wraps and this follow kind of gives us a hint that he’s working with him so that’s why i think he’s in the cast playing a character that interacts with the party but i’m not really sure if he’ll be will’s love interest, i feel like they would keep it more secretly instead of it just taking us a little trip to imdb to figure it out. so i think he just befriended the actor given that it’s a usual thing he does bc i’ve seen him follow some of the crew that he’s friends with too but maybe the duffers don’t care that much about ig follows giving away parts of the plot and i’m overthinking it, either way i hope you get why i think he’s not specifically will’s love interest, obviously i could be wrong but this is what i see right now.

I should be happy,

So tomorrow I’m going to be walking funny. Between the deadlifts and goblet squats, my legs, core, and ass are completely wrecked. Tomorrow I will resemble the Tin Man whilst walking.

I’m also finally going to fly again tomorrow. DEN -> ATL -> IAH. Wednesday I have a meeting, Thursday I’ll drive to San Antonio and back to Houston, Friday, I reverse the trip back home.

However, there may be a problem with this General Contractor. We may be punting and starting all over again with somebody else.

So yeah, great.

Looks like there were ground breaking ceremonies in Aurora and Columbus, next week should be Henderson. Plus I might still get involved with the project up Black Hawk.

So yeah, the last 4 months have been very slow and not much going on at all. Pretty soon I might be insanely busy for the next 2 years. That’s what happens when your client decides to invest $850M in new construction.

RASHEED CHAPPELL SHARES NEW SINGLE "ICE BURG (GOOD RUN)" (FEAT. LAMAR TYREE)

Tri-State mainstay Rasheed Chappell has just shared his new single "Ice Burg (Good Run)" (feat. Lamar Tyree). The emcee also recently announced that his new album NONSTOP, produced entirely by ATL finger drummer extraordinaire and Atlanta Hawks in-game music producer beatsbyjblack, will be out later this month on August 30th. Made during Chappell's recent 36-hour trip to Atlanta, the forthcoming album is an alchemic blend of New Jersey boom bap bar work and the energetic, trap-heavy production ATL has become known for. A soulful track that finds Chappell reminiscing on his life's journey, "Ice Burg (Good Run)" (feat. Lamar Tyree) is bolstered by nostalgic lyricism, ultra-smooth vocals, and hopeful overtones ("No attachment, be free/Do you, I'ma do me").“'Ice Burg' is a eulogy," Chappell explains. "J provided the perfect backdrop to say my final goodbyes to my old life.”

"Ice Burg (Good Run)" (feat. Lamar Tyree) stamps the third outing from NONSTOP following the recent release of singles "No Play Play" (feat. Benngiie), the visual for which surpassed 135K views in just 11 days, and "Haysoos" (feat. SoundsLikeDen). An artist who has garnered attention as a counterpoint to the coke rap wave of recent years and an integral member of the gritty Hip-Hop collective TRUST Gang alongside his contemporaries 38 Spesh, Ransom, Che Noir, Klass Murda & others, Rasheed Chappell is a seasoned emcee who has been hailed for his vivid wordplay and uncanny ability to paint pictures through language within his raps. Since the release of his 2020 collaborative album with 38 Spesh, Ways and Means, Rasheed Chappell has put out a strong run of projects, including the Buckwild-produced Sinners and Saints.

Following 2022's A Portrait Of with Little Vic, Rasheed Chappell returned with The Arcitype-produced project Sugar Bills in 2023, while recent months have seen him release 38 Spesh collaboration tape Checks & Balances. Now with new album NONSTOP, Rasheed Chappell is continuing his hot streak — and showcasing why he's earned his stripes as a key player in New Jersey's underground hip-hop scene.

But gossip does leak at places like Reddit boards. There are a lot of Reddit boards with a ton of industry people on them. Just little comments here and there, of guess who was seen auditioning, guess who's been at my gym here, etc.

And then the fans who watch those places like hawks take the info back to places like here, twitter, IG. //

But she was a nobody until Nov 10th. And after that, she spent little time in Atlanta being "busy" with her yoga class and then off to Florida for the Disney show. And then off to Portugal.

Just saying, I believe she wasn't there. But if there had been spotting of her, it would have been with Chris.

Saying she was nobody until Nov. 10th might be a little too harsh. (LOL, did I just write that?) She had two seasons in the can as the star of a Netflix series at that point. Yes, a very niche, small Netflix series, but still one that insiders/industry people in ATL might have known. I'm not really talking about sightings from the general public, or gossip from the general public, more those industry people sightings. If she really did that three month yoga certificate course there, then why no sightings from those types at that time?
