Top 10 Gaskell characters?

Hi! This is difficult, and I feel guilty because there are still Gaskells I haven't read, and I'm not 100% satisfied with my choices, but here goes nothing:

10. Lady Harriet from Wives and Daughters

9. Hyacinth Clare from Wives and Daughters

8. Lady Ludlow from My Lady Ludlow

7. John Thornton from North and South

6. Nicholas Higgins from North and South

5. Miss Matty from Cranford

4. Squire Hamley from Wives and Daughters

3. Cynthia Kirkpatrick from Wives and Daughters

2. Laurentia Galindo from My Lady Ludlow

Roger Hamley from Wives and Daughters

I would have elaborated on each, but I started and it basically boiled down to "too lovely, too pure" (Roger, Miss Matty), "fascinatingly complex AND she pulls it off" (Cynthia, Lady Ludlow, Squire Hamley, Miss Galindo to a certain extent) and "not as complex as B, but treated with such fairness/compassion/understanding" (Thornton, Higgins) and "schadenfreude" (Lady Harriet and Hyacinth).

Ask me my top5/top10 anything!

A Conrail westbound local pulls up to the eastbound high platform. Passengers could make a cross platform change here to train #1812, the "Scoot" to Bayonne, a short lived service that ran from 1967 to 1978. Prior to 1967, CNJ trains had all run up the CNJ main to Bayone, and on to Jersey City. Then came the Aldene Plan, which included the purchase of the GP40Ps (painted in B&O blue), and a change of route, with trains heading east of here up the Lehigh Valley to Newark, and then on the Pennsylvania in to Penn Station. GP40P 3680 was was delivered 10/1968, and was rebuilt into a GP40PH-2 by Conrail. Cranford, NJ June 25, 1977

Books of 2024 - May, June, and July

Going to be honest folks, I've been having a really shit year particularly with my mental health but physical too. So that means I've: A. Not been reading as much, B. Not been present online, and C. Been playing far too much Zelda to be healthy. However, here's what I have read...

I've not really been feeling a lot of what I've picked up, which probably hasn't helped, and I've been doing a lot of reflecting on how my taste is changing. (If anyone has any recommendations for historical fantasy in the style of Guy Gavriel Kay or Susanna Clarke then let me know because I'm CRAVING these kinds of books right now.)

Anyway here's the books:

May

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon - I wanted to love this but I ended up hating it... The atmosphere was incredible and that kept me reading, but I found it incredibly sexist and, ultimately, shallow. It felt like those annoying men in seminars... Wanting to be perceived as clever but spouting other people's opinions and secondhand observations.

Sir Orfeo by Anonymous, translated by J.R.R. Tolkien - this was a captivating little narrative poem, mainly because I love the structure - I find it slightly hypnotic to read and I just glide through it. Truly beautiful! This is a perfect example of reading for the language alone - although the tale was charming.

June

Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell - genuinely loved this! I thought I'd hate it but I think I like quiet stories about small communities?! Between this and my unwavering devotion to Emma I might need to rethink my preferences when it comes to classics. Cranford was a delight to read and I'm very happy I finally gave it a chance.

Mrs Wickham by Sarah Page - I didn't know whether to include this because, technically, it's an audio drama, not a book... However it's listed on Goodreads, so... 🤷‍♀️ Either way I HATED this. It was so complete and utterly ridiculous that I couldn't even take it seriously. Of all the poor continuations of Jane Austen I've had the misfortune to experience this was truly the worst. It's like they forgot Pride and Prejudice is a regency novel... Lydia deserves a better defence than this! I'm also baffled by how it managed to be crass AND overly sentimental at the same time?!

The Custom of the Country by Edith Wharton - loved it! This was a stunning character study AND exploration of Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Truly glorious. I should write up my notes into an actual essay at some point because I have SO MUCH to say! I can't do it justice here but someone should remind me to talk about this at some point.

The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien - depression induced reread. I needed some comfort and Tolkien always delivers.

July

The Rogue Prince by George R.R. Martin - House of the Dragon was so bad I needed to soothe my heart, but I also didn't want to reread all of Fire and Blood... So this was my compromise. I had a much better time with this than the show (I still haven't bothered to finish it...)

The Ice Dragon by George R.R. Martin - I got bored at a friend's house and read her copy. I'm glad I've never bought it because this was underwhelming.

A Song for Arbonne by Guy Gavriel Kay - I had a fantastic time, a solid standalone from Kay and one I think a lot of people will like. This isn't a new favourite - I don't think anything will eclipse The Lions of Al-Rassan or the Dianora half of Tigana, but it's an excellent book that I'd highly recommend to anyone thinking about reading a Kay novel.

DNFs

I'm not sure when I abandoned these but here we go:

Inferno by Dante - this was a reread but I was struggling so much with anxiety that reading about Hell wasn't a good idea. Confession time: I'm not religious and don't believe in Christianity when I actually sit down to think about it. However, I've managed to give myself a case of 17th century protestant salvation anxiety... It fucks with my head sometimes and this was one of those moments.

Peril's Gate by Janny Wurts - I think I'm done, I've given this series so many chances because I WANT to love it. On paper it's everything I should love. But I'm so bored and the ONE character I'm reading the series for feels like wasted potential. I might come back if they continue to make audiobooks for the series, but I don't think I'll come back to reading the ebooks.

The Game of Kings by Dorothy Dunnett - on paper this book should be right up my street. However this is NOT a book for me. I also really hate rogues... Instant turn off for me.

Chuckie Mauk Jr - UNSOLVED MURDER 1986

(Image: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/13366202/charles-b-mauk )

Article below from Macon.com:

Childhood friend offers $100,000 reward in 1986 slaying of 13-year-old in Warner Robins

BY BECKY PURSER MAY 24, 2020 08:00 AM

Chuckie Mauk SPECIAL TO THE TELEGRAPH

WARNER ROBINS

The unsolved murder of 13-year-old Chuckie Mauk in 1986 still haunts childhood friend Jason Cranford.

“The night he was shot, we’d all been riding our bicycles jumping this rail he’d built,” said Cranford, who now lives in Colorado. “I probably saw him about 30 minutes before he got shot.

“We were all riding our bicycles home. We split ways. I went to my house, and he went to the store,” he said.

Chuckie, a gregarious, blue-eyed teenager, was found face down in a pool of blood near that neighborhood grocery store where he’d ridden his bicycle to get some candy and gum about 8:15 p.m. Feb. 17, 1986. The gum and the store receipt were still in his hand.

“He got shot and a few minutes later, a couple of my other friends knocked on my bedroom window and told me what happened,” Cranford said.

On the anniversary of Chuckie’s death earlier this year, Cranford said he was deeply touched by a Facebook posting about Chuckie by another childhood friend.

That post, coupled with the fact that Cranford now has a 13-year-old son of his own, motivated Cranford to reconnect with nearly 30 childhood friends who also were shaken by Chuckie’s killing.

They agreed that something had to be done, and Cranford, who had the means, said he decided to offer up a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer.

Cathy Miller, Chuckie’s mom, connected Cranford with Fox News host and Macon native Nancy Grace, who launched her new show “Crime Stories with Nancy Grace” on Fox Nation earlier this year with an episode about the slaying.

Grace connected Cranford with CSI Atlanta, which created a reward fund with the $100,000 Cranford fronted, and established a tip line to ferret through information and relay that to Houston County sheriff’s investigators.

“I would like to find out who did it because Cathy Miller, Chuck’s mom, is getting older now, and we would really like to see her get some peace with this before she passes away,” Cranford said. “And the other issue is all the kids that lived in that neighborhood — there’s close to 30 of us — and it scarred all of us for life.

“We were never the same after that. It was all of our first experiences with death ... It’s something we’ve never forgotten our whole lives. So, I’d like to give all the kids in that neighborhood peace, too; satisfaction,” he said.

Cranford became fast friends with Chuckie in the third grade at Russell Elementary School. They were also in school together at Warner Robins Junior High School.

“He was great,” Cranford said. “He was probably the best BMX bicycle rider in our neighborhood.

“He was just fearless. He’d jump any ramp. He’d dirt jump. He was a just a brave little kid,” Cranford said.

Chanda Burch, whose Facebook post moved Cranford, said Chuckie was the first person she met as a new student in the fourth-grade at Russell Elementary School. They were also in the same junior high school.

“This was the kind of boy he was: He would walk me home from school every day and my house was a lot further than his house, and he’d walk me home and then he walked back to his house,” Burch said. “We would stop at the corner store and he would buy me a blow pop every day.”

They were childhood sweethearts.

“Back then, we didn’t have technology. So, we were always writing notes to each other, and he kept every note that I wrote him,” Burch said.

He kept those notes in his bedroom in a big jar that he later hid because he didn’t want his mom to read them, Burch said. But where they were hidden is unknown.

She, Cranford, other childhood friends and Chuckie’s mother were among those featured in the “Crime Stories with Nancy Grace” episode.

“It’s something that we’ve all been living with for 30-something years and we couldn’t do anything as children,” Burch said. “We were helpless. There’s nothing you could do, and we didn’t know what to do.

“And now, we’re older, we feel like like if the community could get together to keep pushing, and hopefully pushing the cops to do something, or just somebody to speak up and finally say something. It’s been so long. And it would just be beneficial and kind of therapeutic for everybody if we could just figure this out and do something, bring this person to justice,” she said.

The CSI Atlanta tip line can be reached by phone at 404-325-4646, or by email at CSIATLANTA@cbs46.com.

Yay! Another one!

That said, that is a strange take about Gaskell I had never heard before :D

If anything in her time she was mostly dismissed as a minor author, and her only work worth something being Cranford (the insidious voice in me tells me it is because it's the less "controversial-political" of her novels. A short sweet semi-autobiographical novel about old town ladies is harmless. But it's also the reason I love it so much). Some of the criticisms are mind-bogging. A critic commented that her, you know, the wife of a minister living in Manchester and ministering to the poor and working class, did not know what was she talking about in Mary Barton and North and South. Others said her characters were one dimensional and lacked natural arcs (Quite the opposite, I find!). She was mostly forgotten until a few decades ago (and gained more popularity because N&S 04 and Cranford 07 were wildly popular), so it's kind of weird to imagine she would be presented as an icon of Victorian response to Austen.

I think she does function as a sort of bridge between Austen and the famous Victorians, like the Brontës, Dickens or Thackeray. I have written a comparison here, but it mainly comes down to:

A) she clearly takes inspiration from Austen. North and South is not Pride and Prejudice, and Wives and Daughters is not Mansfield Park, but you can trace in them those inspirations quite clearly. It's not pastiche, it's Gaskell's own work with its own themes and characters and different dynamics.

B) Her work has a range, from the more costumbrist Austenian tone (W&D, Cranford) to the full on Gothic high drama (The Doom of the Gryffiths). Ruth is reminiscent of Anne Brontë's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall in themes and ideas, North and South has some coincidences that way with Jane Eyre, something like Lois the Witch is reminiscent of the oppressive misery of something like Wuthering Heights, etc, etc.

What does it for me in Gaskell is how central grief is to her storytelling, but that doesn't turn her stories into cynical tragedies. They are an exploration as to how to heal and grow and keep on living with grief, through grief, despite grief. I think that is very unique to her between her contemporaries that I have read (I also think she brings great texture to characters, and an impressive ability to convey extremely dramatic situations into everyday experiences of people).

Was anyone going to tell me that North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell genuinely slaps or was I just supposed to find that out reading it because I’d heard she was “the Victorians’ answer to Jane Austen” (she’s not??? They’re very different writers, they’re just both women)

Various Actors x Fem Reader- “In My House”

Imagine if 2020 was a year when we didn't have the Corona Virus and social distancing.

Because if it didn't have that virus, then this music video would be released...

You're a popular singer who released a new song and music video one day before Thanksgiving 2020.

This song was for the soundtrack for a movie set in the 1960′s, 1966 to be exact.

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's "WAP" is easily the biggest #1 song of 2020, but your new single and music video released one day before Thanksgiving might make people forget all about "WAP".

The video might go even more viral than "WAP", you'll find out why.

In the video, as the music starts to play, it starts off with you walking down a hallway dressed in a short, silky black bathrobe.

In the hallway, Timothee Chalamet is standing by one of the doors in the hallway, leaning his back on the wall, dressed in a silky suit and his hair flouncy, looking the way he looked when he appeared on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show at the end of 2017 with Armie Hammer.

This is your (or rather, my) favorite Timothee.

You slowly sauntered up to Timothee to the beat of your song, trying to look as sexy and seductive as possible to him.

The camera shot to Timothee, smirking at you trying to seduce him.

Before the words you sang in this song began, you stopped when you were standing right in front of Timothee, putting your hands on his face.

When the words to the song you sang began, you lipsynched to this song, your face so close to his.

Timothee arched his head back and closed his eyes while you were leaning your face and your body close to him.

Your lips were in front of his lips, your breath touching below his face.

Your lips were nudging into his lips while you lipsynched this song, your lips fumbling and muttering in between his lips.

Sometimes your lips buried and nudged into his slender neck, whereas his hands were on your bathrobe, looking like he wants to shed your bathrobe off.

One of your hands slid from his face to behind his head, where your fingers laced and buried themselves through his tousled hair.

You couldn't resist running your fingers through his hair.

Your other hand, however, was caressing up and down the bare part of his chest not covered by a dress shirt.

After the camera blurred out the image of you and Timothee making out, the camera then cut to Julian Sands looking the way he did in "Yeh Ballet" and "The Painted Bird", dressed in a long sleeve white button down shirt and slacks being held up by suspenders, one of his legs sprawled out across the couch while he holds a scotch glass.

Even though Julian is nowhere near as hot as he used to be, like in "Boxing Helena", "Husbands and Lovers", "Impromptu" and "Warlock II", he's still pretty sexy, especially when his hair is long.

Emilia Clarke is curled up right next to him, smiling and kissing him on the side of his neck and face, her hair her signature chestnut brown, whereas a blond Wendy James from Transvision Vamp circa 1989 is standing behind him and the couch, her arm running down his chest.

The camera then cut to you completely naked, sitting behind a chair with your legs wide open, albeit the chair was concealing and covering your nudity, not showing your breasts and vagina.

You were sitting in that chair Christine Keeler style, this image was meant to replicate that iconic image of Christine.

Sitting in front of you on the floor was Sebastian Stan, looking the way he did when he was interviewed sitting next to Sharon Stone, my favorite Sebastian.

He was smirking and smiling at you while you naughtily grinned at him, your elbows propped across the top of the chair.

When you started "singing" again, after the first 2 verses and sentences, you leaned down into your chair until you were lying on the floor and the chair fell down with it, your arms and elbows censoring your nipples from being shown, your hands on the carpeted floor.

You were lying on the floor in between Sebastian's legs and thighs, and not just that, but crawling behind you was Timothee Chalamet, who cupped and covered your breasts, his palms and hands concealing your nipples.

Tom Hiddleston was sitting on the floor next to the chair you previously were sitting in, Tom looked the way he did in "Return of Cranford".

You lifted one of your hands off of the carpet and placed it behind Sebastian's head, your fingers laced and buried through his hair, your eyes looking up at him.

You leaned your face close to Sebastian's face, your lips nudging into his lips, which then cut to you and Sebastian kissing each other, your eyes as well as his eyes closed.

The video then cut to Sebastian smothering his lips on your front neck, whereas Timothee was nudging his lips on the back of your neck, moving your hair behind your neck out of the way.

Tom crawled over to you and leaned himself into you, pressing and smothering his lips on the right side of your neck.

You were leaning your head back, resting it on Timothee's shoulder, as Sebastian was burying his face into your neck.

While this was going on, was sitting in a leather armchair, Michael Fassbender was watching what was going on with you, Seb, Timothee, and Tom, wanting to join in.

Michael looked the way he did in "Steve Jobs" when he had brown hair and wore that long sleeved white button down shirt.

As the instrumental music was playing, the video cut to various parts of the room, filming JJ Field with short hair while Ksenia Solo and Imogen Poots are surrounding him, trying to shed him out of his clothes.

Imogen and Ksenia have the ends of their hair swept up and have their hair in thick bangs, looking 1960's.

When the 3rd verse of the song began playing, you were lying on the carpet naked with your arms up, whereas Henry Cavill was hovering over you, straddling your lap, he was dressed in a white button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and a pair of slacks held up by suspenders.

His hair was cut short and he looked the way he did on Sherlock Holmes.

This isn't my favorite Henry, I prefer him as Geralt of Rivia, but this is meant to be a music video set in the 1960's, 1966 to be exact.

He was holding a 60's Polaroid camera in front of you, this moment was meant to be a recreation of an image from the 1960's of David Hemmings, a photographer, hovering over Verushka, a German supermodel in the 60's lying down.

When you laid naked on the floor, the camera filming this as well as Henry were trying to conceal and cover up your nudity, not show your bare naked breasts.

The camera then cut to you lying naked on the floor, although it filmed you from above your tits so your bare breasts won't be shown.

You actually put your index finger in your mouth in an attempt to look sexy.

You rose up from the carpeted floor, where Henry leaned himself back a bit.

When you rose up from the carpeted floor, you put your hands on both of his shoulders, your arms cleverly concealing his nudity.

You proceeded to sexily and slowly crawl closer to Henry, making him lounge on his elbows while he lays on the carpet and put the Polaroid camera down.

When Henry was lying on the carpet now, you were lying on top of him, his lips were smothering the side of your face.

Your hands were gripping and grasping onto his suit.

This moment where you lie on top of Henry while he kisses the side of your face was modeled after Madonna in the "Justify My Love" music video.

This music video and song was modeled after Madonna's "Justify My Love" song and music video, minus the crossdressing and lesbianism.

When the chorus played again, the video jumped to Wes Bentley sitting on a couch, you were straddling his lap completely naked, your breasts pressed against his chest to not show any nipples.

Plus, the video was filming you on your side so it won't show your buttcrack.

Wes looked the way he looked in "American Horror Story", minus having someone's face behind his head and top hat.

This is my personal favorite Wes.

His button down shirt was buttoned all the way down, your hands slid on his bare chest.

One of your hands slid from his chest to behind his head, where you let your fingers run through his hair.

Wes had one of his arms wrapped behind you, pulling you into him, where he buried his face into your neck, kissing your neck.

Your head leaned back and your face was in an orgasmic state.

Now you see why this video will blow up even more than "WAP" and make people forget about that song/video?

This video is every woman's sexual fantasy: it's got Tom Hiddleston, Sebastian Stan, Timothee Chalamet and Henry Cavill, men who've all blown up in popularity because of their looks and sex appeal and have fangirls obsessed with them.

Just look at how popular of a show "The Witcher" is.

Though, those fangirls will want to ring your neck and send you death threats after this video because they're jealous of you.

Kenneth Ray Wynn D.D.S

Kenneth Ray Wynn, D.D.S., of Moore, S.C., passed away on Tuesday, September 15, 2020, at the age of 85, at Spartanburg Medical Center. His beloved wife Ruth was by his side. Kenneth was born on October 9, 1934, to Guy Carlton Wynn and Essie Elizabeth Ray Wynn in Fletcher, N.C. He was one of six children.
