Background lore for the character I play for an FFVII Roleplay group. She oversees SOLDIER in Junon and works under Lazard. She is also very much everyone's mom, to some more than others.

While the story came from before EC, I like a lot of the elements it introduced. I like to think Catherine and Lucia know each other in our AU setting and have a lot in common, talking shop about their trade when they cross paths. Lucia is more of a combat focused/marksman sniper, while Catherine is a long distance/target kill sniper. That gun on her back is the FFVII version of a Barret M82 Sniper Rifle. A "goddamn Anti-Tank rifle" if you will.

I come from RP communities where having original characters is the norm. I don't tend to talk much about my OCs on here, but I hope you guys aren't offended when I do :).

# ACTIVIDAD TRES: 𝗘𝗣. 𝟬𝟮: 𝗟𝗔𝗦 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗦 𝗟𝗔𝗭𝗔𝗥𝗗.

en un primer momento, parece que finley hearst y laurence ulrick se han tomado un descanso: no hay segundo episodio, ni charlas sobre la reciente bbq party. algunos incluso creen que el dúo simplemente no le ve más futuro al programa y están dispuestos a dejarlo morir mientras aún pueden. sin embargo, todas esas teorías descansan con la llegada del nuevo episodio de apt225. esta vez, las protagonistas son nada más y nada menos que las inquilinas del departamento 135, las hermanas lazard. es una sorpresa para todos leer el título, y peor aún, el atrevimiento que tienen los podcasters para adjuntar el link en el chat grupal del emerald con la esperanza de que el resto se entere de la publicación. una vez que el episodio se reproduce en los auriculares de los vecinos, los inquilinos del piso nueve teorizan sobre dos posibilidades: uno: catherine mató a penn grimaldi en un irreparable accidente, producto de una discusión que mantenía con su hermana. es decir, el lugar equivocado en el momento equivocado; y dos: inez lo mató, pero esto no fue ningún accidente. ella y penn habían tenido roces en el pasado, después de todo, sus personalidades eran un poco similares. cuando vio la oportunidad, la tomó: lo acorraló en su departamento y se lavó las manos, además de la escena del crimen. sin ninguna prueba que respalde tales argumentos, y para rematar, los chicos concluyen el episodio con una interrogante para el público: y tú, ¿qué opinas?

ACLARACIONES OFF-ROL:

¡buenas! con esta tercera actividad retomamos la actividad en el dash referida a los episodios del podcast. en esta ocasión, no vamos a trabajar con starters abiertos, sino con memes. una tanda será publicada en breve y le pueden dar reblog cuantas veces deseen durante el periodo de ésta. asimismo, queremos hacerles saber que tienen la opción de continuar con conversaciones en flashback. tienen habilitados cuatro (4) flashbacks por blog ( no por personaje ). les recordamos que, al ser un verse, las actividades mantienen un carácter más prolongado y no tienen demasiada intervención de la administración. una vez más, se trabaja a modo de podcast, con cada episodio dedicado a averiguar la verdad detrás del crimen. finalmente, si tienen alguna duda, comentario o sugerencia, ¡estamos a un im/ask de distancia!

[SUBMISSION] Please read & share Hannah Black’s open letter to the curators and staff of the Whitney Biennial

To the curators and staff of the Whitney biennial:

I am writing to ask you to remove Dana Schutz's painting "Open Casket" and with the urgent recommendation that the painting be destroyed and not entered into any market or museum.

As you know, this painting depicts the dead body of 14-year-old Emmett Till in the open casket that his mother chose, saying, "Let the people see what I’ve seen." That even the disfigured corpse of a child was not sufficient to move the white gaze from its habitual cold calculation is evident daily and in a myriad of ways, not least the fact that this painting exists at all. In brief: the painting should not be acceptable to anyone who cares or pretends to care about Black people because it is not acceptable for a white person to transmute Black suffering into profit and fun, though the practice has been normalized for a long time.

Although Schutz's intention may be to present white shame, this shame is not correctly represented as a painting of a dead Black boy by a white artist -- those non-Black artists who sincerely wish to highlight the shameful nature of white violence should first of all stop treating Black pain as raw material. The subject matter is not Schutz's; white free speech and white creative freedom have been founded on the constraint of others, and are not natural rights. The painting must go.

Emmett Till's name has circulated widely since his death. It has come to stand not only for Till himself but also for the mournability (to each other, if not to everyone) of people marked as disposable, for the weight so often given to a white woman's word above a Black child's comfort or survival, and for the injustice of anti-Black legal systems. Through his mother's courage, Till was made available to Black people as an inspiration and warning. Non-Black people must accept that they will never embody and cannot understand this gesture: the evidence of their collective lack of understanding is that Black people go on dying at the hands of white supremacists, that Black communities go on living in desperate poverty not far from the museum where this valuable painting hangs, that Black children are still denied childhood. Even if Schutz has not been gifted with any real sensitivity to history, if Black people are telling her that the painting has caused unnecessary hurt, she and you must accept the truth of this. The painting must go.

Ongoing debates on the appropriation of Black culture by non-Black artists have highlighted the relation of these appropriations to the systematic oppression of Black communities in the US and worldwide, and, in a wider historical view, to the capitalist appropriation of the lives and bodies of Black people with which our present era began. Meanwhile, a similarly high-stakes conversation has been going on about the willingness of a largely non-Black media to share images and footage of Black people in torment and distress or even at the moment of death, evoking deeply shameful white American traditions such as the public lynching. Although derided by many white and white-affiliated critics as trivial and naive, discussions of appropriation and representation go to the heart of the question of how we might seek to live in a reparative mode, with humility, clarity, humour and hope, given the barbaric realities of racial and gendered violence on which our lives are founded. I see no more important foundational consideration for art than this question, which otherwise dissolves into empty formalism or irony, into a pastime or a therapy.

The curators of the Whitney biennial surely agree, because they have staged a show in which Black life and anti-Black violence feature as themes, and been approvingly reviewed in major publications for doing so. Although it is possible that this inclusion means no more than that blackness is hot right now, driven into non-Black consciousness by prominent Black uprisings and struggles across the US and elsewhere, I choose to assume as much capacity for insight and sincerity in the biennial curators as I do in myself. Which is to say -- we all make terrible mistakes sometimes, but through effort the more important thing could be how we move to make amends for them and what we learn in the process. The painting must go.

Thank you for reading Hannah Black Artist/writer Whitney ISP 2013-14

I pamiętajcie, możecie być przyszłością Lechii, możecie pozostawić po sobie historyczny ślad przywrócenie Lechii jej tożsamości ...

Bilderberg Group meets just outside of DC as Deep State steps up war on Trump. Here’s the attendee list.

Photo: Public Domain

Top global political and business leaders of the Bilderberg Group will meet just miles from the White House this week, as “Deep State” actions to take down President Donald Trump grow more intense.

“The Bilderberg Group meeting in Chantilly, Virginia, will attract 131 elites on Thursday – from politicians and bankers to business titans and European royalty,” The Daily Mail reports. “They will discuss transatlantic relations, the future of the European Union and ‘a progress report’ on the Trump administration behind closed doors at the four-day meeting.”

It has not been revealed what the “progress report” on Trump means. Chantilly, in suburban D.C., is 30 miles from Washington.

Among those participating in this year’s Bilderberg Group meeting are Trump’s Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, Trump’s National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, Trump advisers Peter Thiel and David Petraeus, U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham and Obama CIA Director John Brennan.

The meeting comes as leaks from within the U.S. government’s security community, intended to cripple President Trump, worsen.

“At least 180 federal employees have signed up for a workshop next weekend, where experts will offer advice on workers’ rights and how they can express civil disobedience,” former Clinton administration Labor Secretary Robert Reich gleefully notes.

“Federal workers are in regular consultation with recently departed Obama-era political appointees about what they can do to push back against the new president’s initiatives…,” Reich notes, “…The State Department has emerged as the nexus of opposition to Trump’s refugee policy, in part because it has an official dissent channel where Foreign Service employees can register opposition without fear of reprisals. The channel, formed in 1971, has been used to raise policy objections to the Vietnam War and other conflicts. Several hundred employees signed the dissent cable objecting to Trump’s refugee policy.”

Bilderberg Group meets just outside of DC as Deep State steps up war on Trump. Here’s the attendee list.

Top global political and business leaders of the Bilderberg Group will meet just miles from the White House this week, as “Deep State” actions to take down President Donald Trump grow more intense.

“The Bilderberg Group meeting in Chantilly, Virginia, will attract 131 elites on Thursday – from politicians and bankers to business titans and European royalty,” The Daily Mail reports. “They will discuss transatlantic relations, the future of the European Union and ‘a progress report’ on the Trump administration behind closed doors at the four-day meeting.”

It has not been revealed what the “progress report” on Trump means. Chantilly, in suburban D.C., is 30 miles from Washington.

Among those participating in this year’s Bilderberg Group meeting are Trump’s Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, Trump’s National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, Trump advisers Peter Thiel and David Petraeus, U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham and Obama CIA Director John Brennan.

The meeting comes as leaks from within the U.S. government’s security community, intended to cripple President Trump, worsen.

“At least 180 federal employees have signed up for a workshop next weekend, where experts will offer advice on workers’ rights and how they can express civil disobedience,” former Clinton administration Labor Secretary Robert Reich gleefully notes.

“Federal workers are in regular consultation with recently departed Obama-era political appointees about what they can do to push back against the new president’s initiatives…,” Reich notes, “…The State Department has emerged as the nexus of opposition to Trump’s refugee policy, in part because it has an official dissent channel where Foreign Service employees can register opposition without fear of reprisals. The channel, formed in 1971, has been used to raise policy objections to the Vietnam War and other conflicts. Several hundred employees signed the dissent cable objecting to Trump’s refugee policy.”

More art from this AU I hold close to my heart where horses are somehow more prevalent than they are in FFVII. Catherine and Lazard DO have a bond and work together closely in Cathy's main story but this is expanded upon in AU by them both being avid equestrians. (Lazard actually has a horse on his belt buckle, but horses feature nowhere else in the main setting aside from summons so I kind of assume they're legendary creatures and not endemic to the setting) All of this is purely self indulgence of course. I'm very fortunate in that my life revolves around making horses in game content so its a subject I at least get a lot of enjoyment from. As I have since I was little.

But I don't think any of them really appreciate horses like Sephiroth does. Their interest in them is shallow by comparison. Idk, it just seems like such a natural fit that he'd bond with these beautiful, graceful creatures that are all kept around for a 'use' rather deeply.

Also pls don't mind my awkward or messy art sometimes. I'm currently in classes trying to advance my work to the next level. Years of being in game development or in art block have definitely made drawing harder. But it's slowly getting better as I practice more.

OPEN LETTER

OPEN LETTER // PLEASE SHARE IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT // IN RESPONSE TO SOME HELPFUL CRITICISM IM NOW ONLY INCLUDING BLACK CO-SIGNS // NONBLACK PEOPLE SUPER VERY WELCOME TO HELP GET PAINTING DESTROYED THO IN OTHER WAYS :) // REMEMBER CONTEMPORARY ART IS A FUNDAMENTALLY WHITE SUPREMACIST INSTITUTION DESPITE ALL OUR NICE FRIENDS SO MOST OF WHAT HAPPENS IN IT IS POLITICALLY MEANINGLESS // BUT THE PAINTING SHOULD STILL BE DESTROYED THO // THANKS To the curators and staff of the Whitney biennial: I am writing to ask you to remove Dana Schutz's painting "Open Casket" and with the urgent recommendation that the painting be destroyed and not entered into any market or museum.  As you know, this painting depicts the dead body of 14-year-old Emmett Till in the open casket that his mother chose, saying, "Let the people see what I’ve seen." That even the disfigured corpse of a child was not sufficient to move the white gaze from its habitual cold calculation is evident daily and in a myriad of ways, not least the fact that this painting exists at all. In brief: the painting should not be acceptable to anyone who cares or pretends to care about Black people because it is not acceptable for a white person to transmute Black suffering into profit and fun, though the practice has been normalized for a long time. Although Schutz's intention may be to present white shame, this shame is not correctly represented as a painting of a dead Black boy by a white artist -- those non-Black artists who sincerely wish to highlight the shameful nature of white violence should first of all stop treating Black pain as raw material. The subject matter is not Schutz's; white free speech and white creative freedom have been founded on the constraint of others, and are not natural rights. The painting must go. Emmett Till's name has circulated widely since his death. It has come to stand not only for Till himself but also for the mournability (to each other, if not to everyone) of people marked as disposable, for the weight so often given to a white woman's word above a Black child's comfort or survival, and for the injustice of anti-Black legal systems. Through his mother's courage, Till was made available to Black people as an inspiration and warning. Non-Black people must accept that they will never embody and cannot understand this gesture: the evidence of their collective lack of understanding is that Black people go on dying at the hands of white supremacists, that Black communities go on living in desperate poverty not far from the museum where this valuable painting hangs, that Black children are still denied childhood. Even if Schutz has not been gifted with any real sensitivity to history, if Black people are telling her that the painting has caused unnecessary hurt, she and you must accept the truth of this. The painting must go. Ongoing debates on the appropriation of Black culture by non-Black artists have highlighted the relation of these appropriations to the systematic oppression of Black communities in the US and worldwide, and, in a wider historical view, to the capitalist appropriation of the lives and bodies of Black people with which our present era began. Meanwhile, a similarly high-stakes conversation has been going on about the willingness of a largely non-Black media to share images and footage of Black people in torment and distress or even at the moment of death, evoking deeply shameful white American traditions such as the public lynching. Although derided by many white and white-affiliated critics as trivial and naive, discussions of appropriation and representation go to the heart of the question of how we might seek to live in a reparative mode, with humility, clarity, humour and hope, given the barbaric realities of racial and gendered violence on which our lives are founded. I see no more important foundational consideration for art than this question, which otherwise dissolves into empty formalism or irony, into a pastime or a therapy.  The curators of the Whitney biennial surely agree, because they have staged a show in which Black life and anti-Black violence feature as themes, and been approvingly reviewed in major publications for doing so. Although it is possible that this inclusion means no more than that blackness is hot right now, driven into non-Black consciousness by prominent Black uprisings and struggles across the US and elsewhere, I choose to assume as much capacity for insight and sincerity in the biennial curators as I do in myself. Which is to say -- we all make terrible mistakes sometimes, but through effort the more important thing could be how we move to make amends for them and what we learn in the process. The painting must go.  Thank you for reading Hannah Black Artist/writer Whitney ISP 2013-14 Co-signatories/with the support of:  Amal Alhaag Hannah Assebe   Anwar Batte   Charmaine Bee   Parker Bright Kai Clancy Vivian Crockett   Jareh Das Aria Dean   Kimberly Drew Chrissy Etienne   Hamishi Farah   Ja'Tovia Gary Juliana Huxtable   Anisa Jackson   Janine Jembere Hannah Catherine Jones   Justin Francis Kennedy   Devin Kenny   Carolyn Lazard Taylor LeMelle Tiona Nekkia McClodden Sandra Mujinga   Precious Okoyomon   Emmanuel Olunkwa   Ari Robey-Lawrence   Imani Robinson   Andrew Ross Christina Sharpe Misu Simbiatu Shani Strand Dominique White Kandis Williams

[apt225hq]

merodeando en el emerald está catherine lazard, ¿estaremos tratando con la responsable del atroz crimen cometido? finley hearst y laurence ulrick ciertamente no descartan la posibilidad. ahora queda en la inquilina del departamento #135 probar su inocencia.

¡nube, te damos la bienvenida a apt225hq! a partir de ahora, tienes cuarenta y ocho horas para confirmar tu cuenta. de tener alguna duda, ¡acá estamos!  

01. información in character.

nombre: catherine lazard

pronombres: ella/suya

edad: 24

fecha de nacimiento: veintidós de agosto del mil novecientos noventa y nueve.

nacionalidad: estadounidense

rostro reservado: rain spencer

perfil psicológico:

# la palabra que mejor la describiría es insufrible. es un ser demandante, de pensamientos activos y camuflado egoísmo. elocuente, sí, y perseverante, mas demasiado perspicaz para su propio bien ; manipuladora, egocentrista y oportunista. de humor ácido y único, no tiene pudor al momento de reírse del otro. peca de exagerada y de dramática. muchos dicen que es supersticiosa, a veces ridículamente temeraria, pero por sobre todo charlatana hasta el cansancio. sin embargo, suele ocultar muy bien lo envidiosa ( y rencorosa ) que es y tiende a proyectar ese rasgo en terceros, según ella todos la envidian.

02. datos de relevancia.

01 * su familia son dueños de una viñedo de sexta generación, no hay quién no conozca el apellido lazard por eso mismo. sin embargo, quienes están metidos en el ambiente, también destacan a la familia por sus grandes obras caritativas ; han creado fundaciones y hecho donaciones de grandes números a los sitios más necesitados de londres, costumbre que sigue vigente hasta el día de la fecha.

02 * catherine es la segunda y última hija del matrimonio lazard, su hermana mayor es una artista a punto de salir al estrellato según sus padres ( porque catherine no lo cree así ). sin embargo, cuando regresó de taiwán decidió unirse a ella en el edificio emerald, en hampstead, londres, con la excusa de que su universidad quedaba cerca de ahí. en realidad no podía aguantarse quedarse en casa mientras su hermana experimentaba la independencia.

03 * a diferencia de su hermana y sus padres, catherine decidió estudiar derecho luego de ser detonante de un desastroso desenlace durante su último año de secundaria ; creyó que de tal manera podría compensar el daño, no a quién hirió pero sí al universo. sin embargo, este no es el discurso que emplea a la hora de hablar de su carrera, en esos momentos catherine despilfarra palabras apasionadas y entusiastas sobre ayudar al prójimo, sobre creer insuficiente las obras caritativas de sus padres y anhelar hacer más.

04 * en su segundo año universitario aplicó a la beca de intercambio y logró vivir durante todo un año en taiwán, ella dice que la experiencia fue un antes y después en su vida y cada vez que puede no duda en mencionarlo o hablar sobre ello.
