Luckily for the most part it was quiet. Yes Homelander was still raging about the whole thing, but there was no proof of anything. So it would be fine.

So she had been able to sneak away at the designated time. Though it was less sneaking and more just walking out in street clothes. It wasn't like she was a prisoner. All things considered so very few people batted an eyelash. She had to swipe out, and she had but the excuse was she just needed some fresh air.

Luckily the park wasn't far and she could just walk the distance. She slipped her hands into her sweater pocket as she did so. One hand wrapping around the flash drive that contained the names. She continued toward a park bench. She kept an eye out though all the same.

As James watched Annie approach the park, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that she had managed to come without any trouble. The hunger within him simmered as he imagined the blood he would feast on once she handed over the files, but he quickly pushed those thoughts aside, determined not to let his instincts get the better of him now.

As Annie drew closer, he slipped towards the park bench she settled upon, to sit and talk. He was eager to express his gratitude and discuss their next course of action. However, as he neared her, he realized that he didn't see any physical files in her hands.

A flicker of confusion crossed his features as he stopped in front of her. "Annie," he said, his voice tinged with curiosity, "thank you for coming. I hope the journey here was uneventful."

As they got settled, James couldn't help but glance at her empty hands, unaware of the flash in her pocket. "I must admit, I expected physical files," he remarked with a sheepish smile.

"It is one word for it." She wasn't sure if there was footage, but she was probably on it. She should have thought of knocking it out, but she could always work on the backend when it came to it.

A nod from her. "The park is fine." As long as they didn't put her under house arrest well she could get out well enough. And maybe she could find a different way out. She knew she needed to be far away from this location just in case. So she walked down the hall as he disappeared.

She made her way to the meeting room because that's where she should go with the alarms going off as opposed to anywhere else. She should try to destroy the footage, but maybe she would get lucky and there was none. She perched in her seat all the same. Doing her best not to be nervous.

She snuck in late that night once it was quiet. Getting the information she wanted out of the system and also very quietly erasing footage. She took care to not get caught and would be at the meeting place at the right time.

As James left Vought Tower, his senses heightened and his hunger grew more insistent. The scent of blood filled the air, tempting him with its sweet allure. He walked briskly, desperately fighting the primal urges that threatened to consume him.

At one point, a stranger crossed his path, and for a split second, James's control wavered. His fangs bared, ready to strike, but he managed to restrain himself just in time, his eyes widening with the realization of what he almost succumbed to. With an apology to the man, he quickly retreated, seeking solace and safety within his lair, the confines of his coffin.

Throughout the day, as Annie had to deal with Homelander being unhappy that the creature who attacked him and lived was somehow FREE and the meeting relating to it, he battled his inner demons, the constant struggle between his vampiric nature and his desire to retain his humanity. The hours felt eternal as he slumbered, but as the sun finally set, casting a pinkish glow across the park, James emerged from the darkness. His features were composed, but a hunger still burned within him, kept at bay for now.

He stood by a designated meeting spot wearing a pair of shades until the sun had fully set, his gaze scanning the surroundings as he awaited Annie's arrival. The park was serene, its tranquil atmosphere a stark contrast to the turmoil within him. He yearned for the companionship, the alliance that had unexpectedly formed. And so, he stood there, a figure cloaked in shadows, patiently waiting for the arrival of his newfound ally.

Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami

by Brian Orndorf, August 13, 2018

Grace Jones has been a recording artist and general pop culture figure for over 40 years, but those who've stood outside her fame would probably find it difficult to identify what makes the icon tick. "Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami" isn't a career overview or a very in-depth biographical investigation, but director Sophie Fiennes makes it a priority to deliver a seldom seen side of the artist as she approaches the age of 70, following her as she records a new album, dominates the stage, does the promotional rounds, and pays a visit to her family in Jamaica. "Bloodlight and Bami" offers outstanding concert sequences to refresh appreciation for Jones's talents and blazing sense of style, but it's also an intimate study of temperament and trauma, with the subject unafraid to showcase her impatience with world as she quests to realize her art.

Fiennes doesn't really direct "Bloodlight and Bami." I'm not sure anyone can truly direct Grace Jones, forcing the helmer to sneak around in observational mode with commercial-grade equipment, often shooting the subject from afar, which adds to the voyeuristic ambiance of the documentary. The good news is that Jones is an open book, unafraid to share her schedule with Fiennes and the audience, and "Bloodlight and Bami" cuts between Jones's day job as a singer and performer and her trip to Jamaica to reunite with family and friends. It's a restorative journey she apparently hasn't made in quite some time, returning to her former home, reconnecting with the people who shaped her life, also taking a sensorial odyssey as she gulps down coconut milk, reenters familiar homes, revisits church, and even encounters an old set of jacks, immediately hunkering down to give the metal and rubber another round of play. Fiennes absorbs the atmosphere, with conversations among family members a major part of the film, studying Jones as she processes old memories, including her time as a child under her abusive grandfather, known as "Mas P." The violence of this time remains embedded in Jones's psyche, and she discusses the nightmare at length with those in the know.

The Jamaican visit represents a third of "Bloodlight and Bami," but it's a necessary mission for Jones, who's continually working on her issues, using the trip as a way to strengthen herself during a strange time in her life. Another section of the picture tracks the development of a new album, her first without the support of a record company. It's here where the viewer is introduced to Jones's famous anger, which she describes as her inner "panther," showing little patience for those who fail to follow through on promises or mess with her schedule. Rage is periodically detailed in "Bloodlight and Bami," watching Jones deal with musicians trying to switch recording dates after studio time is booked, and there's a visit to a television variety show, where producers decide to surround Jones with scantily clad dancers, challenging the focus of the performance. Fiennes draws a connection between the "Mas P" years and Jones's current psychological unrest, but "Bloodlight and Bami" doesn't paint a portrait of a curdled woman, just one who has standards and fears, refusing to let others walk all over her. It's empowering in a way, but also highlights a compelling vulnerability.

The highlights of "Bloodlight and Bami" showcase Jones in her element: on stage, dressed in ornate costumes, and thrilling an audience with sheer artful force. Performing hits such as "Slave to the Rhythm" and "Warm Leatherette," Jones showcases her wonderful costumes and impressive voice, aiming to generate an eye-popping set where she stalks carefully designed and lit stages, highlighting her interest in abstract images that best emphasize her unique ideas on self-expression and entertainment. The performances are also shot more professionally than the rest of the documentary, giving "Bloodlight and Bami" much needed beauty to properly reinforce Jones's musical contributions and full-body commitment to the art of showmanship.

The AVC encoded image (1.84:1 aspect ratio) presentation is balancing two distinct cinematographic approaches to "Bloodlight and Bami." Tour footage is captured with lower resolution equipment, giving the feature a video-esque immediacy, which is smeary but inherently so. Concert footage is richly cinematic, with filmic grain and stronger detail, giving viewers a chance to study Jones's theatricality and her extraordinary costuming. Colors come alive on stage, with bold primaries and brighter lighting effects. Skintones are mostly natural here. Delineation is better in concert than on the road.

The 5.1 DTS-HD MA sound mix carries outstanding presence with Jones onstage, delivering sharp, deep instrumentation, including tight bass and crisp percussion, while vocals are distinct, detailing skill and in-the-moment passion. Studio recording scenes also carry precision. Tour excursions are less defined, but again, this is the way the feature was created, preserving a raw sense of moment to Jones's life. Surrounds do well with expanding music, but wisely downplay crowd response to support vocal power. Low-end is appealing, maintaining funky rhythm.

"Bloodlight and Bami" doesn't supply a career overview or file through biographical details with tight structure. It's loose and fresh, understanding Jones's special personality by collecting fragments of behavior, getting to know the artist from a unique point of view. Obviously, it doesn't take much to make the subject interesting (Jones is a real character), but Fiennes assembles a raw look at a performer who remains in motion, continuing to produce art and experience life, only now such expressions of self include more introspective energy, with Jones reaching out to connect with the woman she once was to contribute to the continually evolving icon she's become.

Thoughts on Rakkety Tam

We have only two books left, folks :( Those will probably just be one post before I give my overall thoughts

I had to read this one because otherwise I would get through this entire thing and go “damn it did I forget that book AGAIN”

Lady Melesme ok let's see if she does anything “she's sending ye a drum!” I love how everyone is shocked when canonically, 1000 years ago or whatever, they used a log when the bells were being created. 

Immediately we have cannibalism and a character telling the main characters to go to hell lmao maybe I judged this too harshly at first. 

Bloodlight is mentioned twice at least. The first time I can understand bc it refers to Tam, who may not know the term bloodwrath, but the second is by a Long Patrol hare Fortindom. Non-badgers can get bloodwrath. Mayhaps this was the beginning of a lesser form of bloodwrath. 

I like how the hares don't adhere to the dichotomy and immediately thought squirrels killed their fellows, also the language barrier. Then this bird thinks Tam is also a vermin. So I guess the dichotomy was slightly challenged in this book, congrats to us!

“Only a fool rises to the bait of h’another fool.” things we all can learn. 

The map is facing...somewhat behind Salamandastron, with more focus on the land. Other maps face somewhat in front of it, with the mountain being on the edge of the ocean, and this is the map that has stuck in my head for decades. So when it said the Squirrelkingdom was South of Salamandastron, I was wondering how this grove of trees was just in the ocean.

I imagined Tam and Armel to be a bit older than the writing suggests. Not as old as Brag and Saro but older than the typical heroes of the books. They're maybe just entering their mid seasons. 

Brigadier Wotwot 💀

Tam’s personality is a little.overwhelmed by everyone else. Doogy is a delight.  That's an issue a lot of these paired up protagonists have (Triss and Shogg, Buckler and whoever that was) I like the focus on his heritage being stronger than others with his weapon choices, and more would have been nice. 

I think this is the most chapter art we've gotten with a villain. I guess Gulo was just that fun to draw!

This may be one of 2 books (I remember Doomwyte being similar) where the Abbeybeasts are pragmatic about the need to fight. Screeve was very casually “ya I just killed that bastard with a rake”

20 books in and I just now wonder: where do they go to the bathroom. 

“Doogy Plumm threw up his paws in resignation. “Och, that explains everythin’. He should’ve been called Martin the Destroyer o’ Weapons.” Legit had me laughing. 

This one is more tactical than others, focusing on the surroundings of Mossflower more than a battle at the very end. Look at how the foebeast had a plan to lock the hares out from Redwall that almost worked. As a whole, it's refreshing.
