Summer Time Terror Twins 🌞

Today was a Macaulay day, it looks like. 😂 We had a sunny weekend over here, after a few days of rain, which kinda inspired me to draw my beloved twins with this vibe in mind: casually enjoying a nice Summer's day.

First, we have Blair, who is hanging out with some of her friends from Edinburgh (who are off-screen for the time being, because I couldn't be bothered to draw multiple people this time 🤣). They're about to hit a pub and have lunch and a few drinks, while also catching up with each other's latest life updates. ✨

Next we have Donnie, who’s in the middle of enjoying his day off. He is on his way home after doing the groceries, when he receives a message from Aggie, the lass he's having a little “friends with benefits” thing with (please ignore how ugly that chat box is, btw, I promise I’ll make it prettier in the finished version 🤣). She invites him to come over to her place, and Donnie is just about to accept her invitation. Looks like a fun evening is on the horizon. 👀

Neither of these are finished yet, but until I get to do that, I figured I could post them in their current state. I really wanna get more comfortable with posting my sketches. And I kinda like them, so... I dunno. 😅

In any case, hope you’ll enjoy this session of Terror Twins In Pretty Clothes — Summer Edition. 🌞😂

(submission) Hi! So this started out as an ask, but as always, it got way too unwieldy for the ask box. And I’ll flat out state that while I am studying public policy and urban planning, I am by no means an expert on gentrification or on Brooklyn specifically - both are still topics I’m actively learning about. That said, I think there’s a couple of reasons people make a “thing” out of the Humphreys’ loft. For starters, it’s an incredibly easy way to undercut Dan and Jenny’s experiences amongst their peers by pointing out that they’re not really poor, so why are they complaining so much?? This, of course, ignores the facts that 1. they never claim to actually be poor, 2. the show never suggests that they really are - only otherwise classist characters like Blair do - and, 3. just because they were being bullied for a bullshit reason, it… doesn’t actually make the bullying any less bad? In fact, most bullying is over trivial nonsense - pointing that out doesn’t make it any less harmful to the bullied! Nonetheless, for people who dislike the Humphreys and are tired of their “whining”, it’s an easy rhetorical device to bludgeon them with. Besides that though, it’s largely a projection of today’s Brooklyn onto the 2007 Brooklyn the show is set in, and more importantly, the 1990s Brooklyn Rufus started raising his family in. It’s true that if you tried to purchase or even rent a space like the one Dan and Jenny grew up in now, you would need to basically be a millionaire, full stop. But acting as though a middle class family would NEVER have been able to live in a property like that isn’t just an overgeneralization - it’s simply ahistorical. Now, to be clear, Brooklyn as a whole started gentrifying all the way back in the 1960s, and has done so in periodic waves. Williamsburg in particular slowly began gentrifying starting in the 1970s - although this process didn’t reach a critical mass until the late 1990s, with a specific turning point coming in 2005. Looking to take advantage of the influx of young professionals and Manhattanites moving to the area and increasingly hungry for waterfront property, the New York City Council introduced a mass rezoning effort that transformed a great number of the neighborhoods’ then numerous manufacturing plants and warehouses into expensive, high-end residential buildings and condominiums. This rezoning process ended up pushing out many of the same working class residents that had historically been the lifeblood of the community - many of them unfortunately and unsurprisingly POC (specifically, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, and Hasidic Jews). This wave of mass gentrification is what MADE Williamsburg the poster child for gentrification in NYC - up until this point you still had a fairly vibrant working class community living there (even amongst all of the incoming artists and hipsters, yes). Assuming Rufus bought the loft in the early 90s around the time Dan was a baby - back when he still had a semi-relevant music career - it would have been right on the cusp of an earlier rezoning effort that came in the late 90s - one that saw the median price of a home in Williamsburg skyrocket by an average of 60%. Arguably, the Humphrey family were THEMSELVES gentrifiers (albeit unintentionally), given that they pretty damn well fit the profile of “young artists looking for affordable housing that end up attracting real estate investors, that then make the area unaffordable”. Admittedly, the history of gentrification in Brooklyn isn’t exactly common knowledge, and I’ve significantly oversimplified it here - but a lot of the “how could the Humphreys live in Williamsburg when Williamsburg is so expensive???” discourse is coming from people who either have never lived in the city and know it only from television, or have lived in New York but are young enough that they don’t remember Williamsburg ever NOT being the textbook example of gentrification. It’s interesting to me how much I’ve noticed this particular line of argument increase over time - I think a lot of it is coming from younger viewers who

simply don’t realize how recent this gentrification still is, historically speaking. Finally, there’s the much fairer point that is made, and that is that the interior of the Humphreys’ loft looks MASSIVE compared to what it would be like in reality, a point which I’ll happily concede. There’s no doubt that the TV set of the loft is depicted as being incredibly nice and spacious - just look at those high ceilings! But there is also a very simple, practical reasoning behind this that does not involve the Humphreys lying about their economic status - it is very hard to film with a full camera rig in cramped spaces, so the set designers made the loft bigger than it actually would be in real life. That is why almost all TV apartments look unrealistically large - it’s not that writers don’t understand the areas and lifestyles they’re writing about, it’s that production crews often sacrifice accuracy to make their jobs a little easier. Anyways, hoped this helped a bit! For reference (and in case you’re interested in the subject and would like more information), a lot of my dates and data concerning gentrification in Williamsburg came from this very informative profile that Macaulay Honors College did on the subject - they’re actually in the process of studying a bunch of different neighborhoods in NYC and charting the specific history of how they became gentrified. It’s really a very interesting (albeit depressing) lens through which to study New York history, in my opinion.

Hi anon who enjoys your blog, I have been in an old movie binge. Recently I watched, Philadelphia Story with Katherine Hepburn and it reminded me so much of S5.B- Tracy , C- Ck D- Connor and L- George .It’s funny bc DB watches this movie in the end of S4. Have you ever watch PS and got the same vibe as well?

oh, most definitely! a lot of references in gg were for sure put there because viewers were meant to read into the parallels. i believe stephanie savage has spoken about how they intentionally based blair and dan on tracy and macaulay connor, actually. the parallels are really strong, from beginning to end, and say a LOT about blair’s s4-6 characterization and arc.

Woods and Witches

A bit of writing I did this past weekend, featuring Malcolm and a 6yo Blair (and Donnie! he's there as well, but Blair is the main star this time 😂✨).

The scene takes place a few weeks after Blair secretly watched The Blair Witch Project (1999), all by herself, and falsely believed the thing was real. Which kind of sort of scared her. Now her dad is about to find out about his daughter’s little escapade… at the most inopportune time. 😂

[tannithvibes]

Murphy Darrow was born a Siren, the middle-most child out of seven (the order being; Ramsay, Lochlin, Logan, Murphy, Islay, Blair and Macaulay). While her parents doted on her far more than any of the other children, they weren't the greatest at parenthood. They viewed Murphy more as a trophy to give them importance rather than their kid.

She was always a self-centered wildcard and from the moment she could fight on her own until the age of 22, Murphy fancied herself a warrior for the people. At 15 she lost control of her power, Phaseshatter, and eviscerated her right arm completely. That's also when she got the scar on her face. If anything, it made her even more reckless with who and what she fought for. 

Around the age of 22 she met a Leech Siren (im not sure if i want Murphy to be alive when canon characters are or not, so either the Leech will be just a random person, or it would be Tyreen. this is working as if its rando) and fell head over heels for her. Murphy didn't care how bad of a person the Leech was and p much sold all of her morals to answer the Leech's every beck and call. Unfortunately the feelings were not reciprocated fully and after faking a relationship for a few years, the Leech decided Murphy's powers would be more useful if she owned them and ya know, stole Murphy's Siren powers.

So, at roughly the age of 25, Murphy suddenly lost the biggest sense of self she'd had her entire life. Once she lost her Siren powers, people stopped really caring about her and looking to her for help. She was just another person. Coming from someone who spent her life being a Siren, a people person, the hero, this was a devastating turn of events

Murphy grew violent and volatile, with a temper that didn't discriminate on who it lashed out upon. Slowly she changed from the wildcard with good intentions, to a dangerous gunslinger that you could never quite trust. Now whenever Murphy showed up somewhere, people feared her because they had no idea what mood she'd be in that day.

She might show up in your town and seem as charming and charismatic as ever, but if it didn't result in the response Murphy wanted then somebody could wind up dead. It's a nasty combination of an already mean person who has experienced a life-altering loss, as well as an incredibly messy break up. 

aaaand the rest is sorta up in the air? Originally Murphy was 100% going to end up as a villain type, but I've grown too attached to her to just...straight up make her evil and then subsequently kill her. For now I imagine, with a lot of time, effort and help, Murphy might learn how to function as a regular person for the first time in her life. But she will Absolutely still be a huge jackass compensating for her lost abilities lmao
