Fate. A word meaning destiny. Fate. A word meaning doom. - Benton James Kessler 

Is that WOLFGANG NOVOGRATZ? No, that’s just THEODORE SINCLAIR. They were born on 05/09/1997 and are a HYBRID: PSYCHIC/VAMPIRE living in Northknot Town. They work as a MECHANIC / TATTOO ARTIST AT INK AGAIN. Some say they're LAID-BACK and RESILIENT, but I’ve heard others say they're DISOBEDIENT and ALOOF. When you think of HIM, don’t you think of THE PURRING SOUND OF A MOTORCYCLE SPEEDING DOWN AN EMPTY ROAD, THE FEELING OF CALM IN A QUIET ROOM, AND THE SCENT OF BURNING PAGES TELLING TALES OF UNTOLD PROPHECIES?

A E S T H E T I C

rain hitting a leather jacket as the rider of a motorcycle drives down a winding path. pages turning from a book no one has read. the purring sound of a motorcycle speeding down an empty road. music blasting from headphones. the feeling of calm in a quiet room. and the scent of burning pages telling tales of untold prophecies.

“ I don't need that late night high... I'm floating on my low-key vibe. ” sex, drugs, etc. by beach weather “ Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone. Engage with the pain as a motive. ” achilles come down by gang of youths “  And if the world don't break, I'll be shaking it. 'Cause I'm a young man after all. And when the seasons change, will you stand by me? 'Cause I'm a young man built to fall . ” mind over matter by young the giant

P E R S O N A L I T Y  

theodore is a friendly guy, he talks to everyone... even if he does keep it mostly surface level. he's always been best described as "low-key". both of his jobs require him to know how to talk to people. so he uses that even outside of work. after being changed into a hybrid vampire, he changed. with fewer predictions of the future, he's relaxed a little more. doesn't feel on edge all the time. but he does hate being a vampire. he's not someone who wanted to live forever.

H E A D C A N O N S

theo was born into a family that didn't know they had supernatural blood. when he had his first premonition, no body believed him. but then again, who would believe a four year old who spoke of planes crashing into new york. when what he saw came to be, his parents had almost forgot. it wasn't until he tried to worn his parents a year later that something bad was going to happen. he was too young to understand what he saw, but when a week later his father died in a crash that almost took theo and his mother as well... his mother started to realise what was happening. she didn't really understand it, in fact it scared her. she had thought he was CAUSING everything. however, people assumed she was crazy and theo was taken from. while is mother was institutionalised, theodore was taken and put into foster care. being moved from house to house, theo found is hard to make connections. adults never believed him and other children called him crazy. by ten, he stopped trying to share everything he saw. no one wanted him and he was tired of being the "crazy one". it was when he turned twelve that he was adopted by an elder french couple. they knew EXACTLY what he was and tried to help him. moving him to northknot and explaining everything the best they could. being the new kid had its perks. but also had it's disadvantages. people took one look at him and decided then and there what type of person he was. due to his standoffish attitude, most people didn't try to look a little closer. due to this, theo mainly kept to himself. about two years ago, theo decided to travel and explore the world. he was tired of northknot. tired of being what people thought of him. just wanted to see what else was out there. but a few months into his travels. he was attacked and turned again his will. when he woke up alone, he instantly knew what happened to him. despite figure a lot of the supernatural world out by himself, he was smart enough to know what this meant for him. he ran before his sire could return. spending some time getting used to the change. theo wait a bit before just coming back to northknot. he wanted to get settle into his new life before returning home where he knew he wouldn't have to worry anymore.

C O N N E C T I O N S

past friend. theo was never an overly popular kid. he was only ever close with a few people. but this person was someone he had (at the time) considered a best friend. as they grew older, they grew apart. more rumours spread about theo and this person, while they didn't add to the rumours, didn't help put a stop to them either. theo doesn't really blame them either, they wanted to be more social and the only way (it seemed) was to get their distance from him. they haven't spoke since theo left. vampire sire. can be plotted, but i'm looking for someone who had wanted to use his psychic abilities to their favour. they could be a member of the faction, whether they did it on their own or because they were told to... theo doesn't know them. when he woke up, he had been alone and left before they could get back. ex girlfriend. sylvia burke. theo, despite what people think, is a very kind guy when he cares. and man did he care about sylvie. he fell for her fast. which is probably why it didn't last. within a year, they just seemed to have grown apart. theodore still has a soft spot for the blonde, but it's more like a found memory at this point. someone he feeds off. (upcoming muse). again, despite the "bad boy" vibe people get from theo. he's a very kind and caring person. this person is someone he met before he was turned into a vampire. their someone he considers a friend and that he looks out for. when they offered him to feed from them, he took them up on it since they both trust each other enough for it to work. best friend/roommate. this person was someone who he met maybe a year after moving to northknot and actually stayed his friend. theo considers this person his best friend. when theo returned to northknot after a year away, the two decided to move in together

Não consegui entender muito do que ele falou, mas repetia constantemente que o projeto chronos(?) havia sido um erro e que ele precisava consertar antes que eles o achassem. Ele ainda falou algo sobre um neto(?) O que é estranho, já que dizem que ele não tem muito contato com a família"

Stranger Things/Avengers Characters Pt. 1

Inspired by @a-dealwithgod

Master Will the Wise/Will Byers

When he was young, Will Byers was taken to a training ground for sorcerers to study the mystic arts. Growing up in Kamar-Taj, Will excelled at every lesson and mastered every spell; until he became the youngest master of the mystic arts. With his natural talents, Will also developed a power that took decades for wizards to learn; True Sight. When Will sleeps at night, his mind would travel through the many realms of the multiverse, including the dark dimension.

The Hulk/Dustin Henderson

After being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Dustin Henderson had been exposed to a dangerous amount of gamma radiation. The levels of radiation resulted in Dustin gaining the ability to grow into a menacing green monster any time he was provoked. With scientists and bad guys chasing after his new power, Dustin ran away and disappeared from everyone. During his time on the run, Dustin stayed in contact with Mr. C, an online friend that’s helping him find a cure for his ‘condition.’

Black Widow/Max Mayfield

At a young age, Max had been chosen by a program known as the Red Room, where young girls are turned into spies and assassins. Growing up, Max had received extensive training from a super-soldier named Billy, also known as the Winter Soldier until she was the most skilled, and youngest widow in the program. However, one day, the Red Room decided to include full mind control into their program, and Max was faced with a choice; to stay and become another Black Widow, or escape and be free to make her own choices, her own rules.

Spider-Man/Lucas Sinclair

During a field trip to Hawkins Science Lab, Lucas Sinclair got bitten by an experimental radioactive spider, and received spider powers. However, becoming a superhero isn’t as easy as comic books made it seem. With having to balance life between schoolwork and vigilante-work, dodging his suspicious younger sister, and dealing Jason Carver, Lucas’ former friend from the basketball team who turned into Green Goblin after accusing the spider vigilante for murders across the city.

Iron Man/Mike Wheeler

As a robotic/science prodigy and the son of billionaire philanthropist Theodore Wheeler, Mike's life has been anything but normal. But after spending three months in captivity, Mike's world was changed forever. An arc reactor was implanted into his chest to keep him alive, but his time in captivity had opened his eyes to the dangers in the world. Dangers that only he could stop. Maybe if Ted had paid more attention to his son, he would’ve known that Mike was flying around the city in an iron suit.

The Scarlet Witch/Jane ‘011’ Hopper.

Eleven was raised in a lab by Dr. Brenner after gaining psionic abilities from a magical stone. Every day, she trained to become more powerful, until an incident. Eleven couldn’t remember all the details, all she remembered was the bodies and the blood. The incident had shown up on SHIELD's radar, so they investigated and took Eleven into their custody. Because of Els’ lack of control over her powers, SHIELD had wanted to place her under maximum security, until Jim Hopper stepped up, and offered to keep an eye on the young girl.

AIA Everyman Prints

Artists International Association was an exhibiting society founded in London in 1933, which held exhibitions and events to promote and support various left-of centre political causes. Having come out of the First World War and then seeing the global effect of the Great Depression in 1929 many of these artists wanted to promote a better world. Though the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War erupted it was important to have a society where artists could still publicly protest war in a subtle way.

 Vanessa Bell - London Children in the Country, 1939 

The principal founders of the A.I.A. were Misha Black, James Boswell, Clifford Rowe and Pearl Binder. The guiding ethos was to promote a radical response to political events in the world. A unity against Fascism, both home and abroad.

Its membership quickly grew throughout the 1930s and 1940s (930 members by 1945) so that in 1947 it was able to acquire permanent premises in Lisle Street. In the 50′s the political aims of the group were dropped after they broadcast support for an alliance between Britain and the Soviet Union. In 1953 it became an exhibiting society.

In the Second World War the A.I.A. started a series of prints but due to the economic climate of WW2 it wasn’t a vast success. 

In 1942 it was reported to members that the scheme had run into production and retailing difficulties and with ultimately only about 5,000 prints sold, the royalities could not have been very remunerative. †

The print series ran from 1939 to 1942 and all the images in this post are taken from the series.

Hell Year In Review - Stuff I Mostly Read With The Page Down Key In 2020

Last year, I rejoiced about positive change that came from reading less churny Gutenbergs and more modern authors, more women, and more authors of color from the library.  Then the library closed for most of 6 months starting on 11 March.

I read a monstrous 907 book-shaped things this year, in exceptionally great proportion out of the Gutenberg bucket.  There was a LOT of churn there: I started the year with 2666 items after the reload alluded to in last year's post and finished with 1761 after processing 1290.  There was a lot of pap.  There was a lot of extremely bad pap.  But it wasn't all pap, and it wasn't all bad.

By way of illustration: those 907 books broke out into 59 modern/physical books, 13 issues of Strange Horizons (no real need to dissect these), and 835 off the Gutenberg pile.  Among moderns, women wrote/contributed to 32/59 (54%), authors of color wrote/contributed to 6/59 (10%), and authors in translation furnished 4/59 (7%).  Favorites in this small sample looked like:

Catherine Chung - Forgotten Country Elizabeth J. Church - The Atomic Weight of Love Hal Clement - Iceworld Susanna Clarke - Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell J. M. Coetzee - Waiting For the Barbarians Claire G. Coleman - Terra Nullius Pat Conroy - The Lords of Discipline Anne Corlett - The Space Between the Stars Jennine Capo Crucet - Make Your Home Among Strangers Ivan E. Coyote - One In Every Crowd N. K. Jemisin - The City We Became

This was not a bad batch of books to read this year.  But, it's about a third the size of the similar haul from 2019, and the Gutenberg haul was so large and so comprehensive as to get a lot of quality material in with the junk.  Of 823 limited-authorship titles from Gutenberg, women wrote or contributed to 111 (13%), a better rate than 2019 overall (despite 10 months of library there vs 0), and though authors of color only contributed 7 books (<1%), the 33 translations and non-English-language books represented 4% of the total, again an advance on last year despite 2019's numbers counting the library.  The highlights of the Gutenberg side looked like:

Henri Barbusse - The Inferno Aphra Behn - Oroonoko; or, The Royal Slave Lord Byron - Don Juan Willa Cather - The Professor's House Mary Cholmondeley - Red Pottage Kate Chopin - The Awakening Joseph Conrad - Lord Jim Stephen Crane - Wounds in the Rain Ford Madox Ford - No More Parades John Galsworthy - The Forsyte Saga [The Man of Property / In Chancery / To Let] Mary Gaunt - Kirkham's Find Maxim Gorky - Mother Thea Von Harbou - Metropolis Alexander Harris - Settlers and Convicts E. T. A. Hoffman - The Golden Flower Pot Sarah Orne Jewett - The Country of the Pointed Firs Rudyard Kipling - Kim Sinclair Lewis - Kingsblood Royal David Lindsay - The Haunted Woman Edward Lording - There And Back Kálmán Mikszáth - St. Peter's Umbrella L M Montgomery - Anne of Green Gables Frederick Niven - The Flying Years O. E. Rölvaag - Giants in the Earth May Sinclair - Mary Olivier: A Life Olaf Stapledon - Odd John: A Story Between Jest and Earnest Robert Louis Stevenson - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Theodor Storm - The Rider on the White Horse H.G. Wells - In The Days Of The Comet H.G. Wells - Mr. Britling Sees It Through H.G. Wells - The War in the Air Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray

There are three Nobel laureates (Kipling, Lewis, Galsworthy) in this list, and two more nominees (Wells, Gorky) who didn't make it to the top, versus only one (Coetzee) in the other.  This is also not a bad batch of books to read this year; the rebuild last January to get more non-genre stuff made the highs a lot higher.  Sturgeon's Law remains true at all scales and throughout history, but when you read 800 fucking Gutenbooks in a year, you’re going to get a bunch of good in with all of the bad.

This does turn kind of into "comfort in sadness", because many of the other 792 limited-authorship Gutenbooks I read in 2020 were utter trash.  I read thirteen things from Albert Dorrington stitching like a hundred uncollected short stories into coherent wholes, and all of them were bad.  I had ten books from Edward Dyson, and they were all full of bad dialect.  I'm almost thirty volumes deep in various pulps from Emile C. Tepperman that are a lot more entertaining than good.  Many of Miles Franklin's twelve books on the list were a pain, as were practically all of Stewart Edward White's twelve mixing spiritualism and old California.  Virtually all of Warwick Deeping's thirteen very large gurn piles sucked, and the only use of most of the 30 volumes I had to grind up from William Le Queux was to laugh at them.  And finally, I suffered through 80 books by Fergus Hume this year, and got so mad that I wrote a Twitter thread to call him out as the worst possible author in the history of the English language.

However, Hume is over.  I'm never going to read/need to read him again.  And even if I continue not getting over my feud with the library (I really ought to), the routine that I've established allows me to project good things for the next year.  I've got eight more from L M Montgomery, Marjorie Bowen is up next in the "large major" slot after Tepperman, and later in the year I should get to Eugene O'Neill, George Bernard Shaw, Virginia Woolf, and Zane Grey.  I'm reading from a limited selection of Dostoevsky on my Kindle right now, and sooner or later should also get to Jonathan Swift, Jules Verne, Mary Shelley (I missed Frankenstein in 2016), Anne Bronte, Herman Melville, Havelock Ellis, George Gissing, and maybe Damon Runyon by this time next year.  There are going to be other discoveries like Gaunt, Cholmondeley, and Rölvaag.  And yes, I will need to grind through a lot of bad garbage to get to them: but there's still enough good, in all of this, to keep on going.

Then the same thing happens when i created three ocs for cao pi-who at that time exists in sangokuden as cao cao only son & in sengoku souketsuden/heroes i made a crossover ship & created cao pi siblings-

Months later,looked up cao cao father name & came across of cao cao he had four children-

Ida Tarbell: The Woman Who Took On Standard Oil

by Andy Piascik

Muckraking journalism emerged at the end of the 19th century largely in response to the excesses of the Gilded Age, and Ida Tarbell was one of the most famous of the muckrakers. Born in 1857 in a log cabin in Hatch Hollow, Pennsylvania, Tarbell’s first dream was to be a scientist. Science was a field largely closed to women, however, and she instead pursued teaching, a profession deemed more suitable for a woman.

In 1883 she met Dr. Thomas Flood, editor of the Chautauquan, a magazine published in nearby Meadville, Pennsylvania. Flood was about to retire his position and he asked Tarbell to assist him for a few months while he searched for a successor. She accepted and ended up working at the Chautauquan as a writer and editor for six years.

IdaTarbell, ca. 1904 – Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division

Writing became Tarbell’s passion. One of her biographers, Kathleen Brady, wrote of Tarbell that “the sight of her work in type was like magic which dispelled forever dreams of botany.” Keenly aware of social problems since her days as a teacher, Tarbell wrote about inequality and injustice and encouraged colleagues at the Chautauquan to do likewise.

In 1890, Tarbell moved to Paris. She had written a series of articles about women of the French Revolution and she went to France to research a projected biography of one of those women, Madame Marie-Jeanne Roland. She supported herself by writing articles about Parisian life for Scribner’s Magazine and other American publications, including several owned by Samuel McClure.

Tarbell Exposes The Standard Oil Company

Tarbell never wrote the biography of Roland but she did write biographies of Napoleon Bonaparte and Abraham Lincoln—published shortly after her return to the United States in 1894. She also accepted an offer from McClure to work for his new venture, McClure’s Magazine, where she undertook her most famous work, her expose of John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company. Her study of Rockefeller’s practices as he built Standard Oil into one of the world’s largest business monopolies took many years to complete. McClure’s Magazine published it in 19 installments.

Her work was a sensation and the installments became a two-volume book entitled, The History of the Standard Oil Company, published in 1904. Tarbell meticulously documented the aggressive techniques Standard Oil employed to outmaneuver and, where necessary, roll over whoever got in its way. A short while later, President Theodore Roosevelt used the phrase “muckraker” (from John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress) in a speech in reference to Tarbell, Upton Sinclair, Lincoln Steffens, and other journalists writing critically about the tremendous power of big business. Tarbell actually objected to the term, for she felt it belittled work she believed to be of historical importance.

The centerfold of Puck magazine, February 21, 1906, “The Crusaders” by C. Hassman. Comic illustration shows a large group of politicians and journalists as knights on a crusade against graft and corruption, including Ida Tarbell – Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division

One result largely attributable to Tarbell’s work was a Supreme Court decision in 1911 that found Standard Oil in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The Court found that Standard was an illegal monopoly and ordered it broken into 34 separate companies. Bloodied, Rockefeller and Standard were hardly defeated. Rockefeller maintained huge holdings in all 34 companies and the breakup actually proved enormously profitable. He lived out the rest of his long life with his status as the world’s wealthiest man unblemished.

Retiring to Easton

In 1906, not long after her rise to fame, Tarbell purchased a home in Easton, Connecticut. Easton was a farming town and she used the home and its 40-acre spread as a country getaway for the next 18 years while living primarily in New York City. She lectured widely and continued writing for important publications of the time, like the American Magazine, of which she was also co-editor. Among the events she covered were the negotiations in Versailles at the conclusion of World War One.

In 1924, Tarbell moved permanently to Easton. She was 67 but she kept writing, producing, among other works, an autobiography entitled, All in the Day’s Work. She took ill with pneumonia in December 1943 and died in Bridgeport Hospital on January 6, 1944, at age 86.

The History of the Standard Oil Company remains a classic of investigative reporting, and Tarbell’s legacy as a someone who took seriously the credo that journalists should “afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted” lives on. The house she lived in in Easton became a National Historic Landmark in 1993.

Bridgeport native Andy Piascik is an award-winning author who has written for many publications and websites over the last four decades. He is also the author of two books.
