Nice vs. Kind

An attempt to explain how the two concepts vastly differ and how that can be used to understand Crowley in Good Omens. (Both Seasons 1-2)

I’m going to preface this with the fact that these are not the dictionary definitions of these two words and I’m using a distinctly American/English Speaking perspective to give them context and connotations. The differences between the two words in English have been dissected and argued over by people smarter and more experienced than me in academic circles. Look into the works of Tina Malti and RT Lakoff for more understanding, but what I’ve managed to paraphrase is this….

A definition of Nice; Of an agreeable or pleasant disposition.

Ex. Using pleasantries when communicating with others. Please, Thank You, Good Morning, ect.

A definition of Kind; Sympathy to others and a willingness to do what is right, without reward.

Ex. Doing favors for friends in need, or donating to charities.

A simple distinction that makes a world of difference when applying to people, doesn’t it?

Now there is the question of how this applies to Good Omens and it’s two main characters.

Obviously mainly Crowley and Aziraphale.

And I think it relies in this interaction.

Crowley denies being “nice” quite vehemently in this interaction and he’s not exactly wrong.

Crowley isn’t nice, not really. He’s actually rather rude in most of his interactions with others, including some of his interactions with Aziraphale. It would be a stretch in every sense of the word to claim his presence as “pleasant” in general terms, no matter what Aziraphale might think.

But Crowley is kind. The demon is kind from the very beginning due to his relationship with sympathy and the selflessness he manages to pass off as a blasé fair attitude.

And we see proof of it time and time again.

Chronologically and with very few details….

With Adam, Eve, and the the garden, Crowley expresses sympathy. He states that it seems banishment as an unjust punishment for a first offense.

He expresses distaste for the mass killing of the people in Mesopotamia, specifically pointing out the loss of the children.

He refuses to watch more children die in “A Companion to Owls” and saves Job’s Children from their fate.

He expresses sympathy for Jesus and recalls his time spent with the “Son of God”

He performs favors for Aziraphale at The Globe Theater, in The Bastille, and during the Blitz.

He helps Elspeth with her journey and gives her stability in Edinburgh.

He saves the World because he cares about it. Stripped of his facades, Crowley cares very much about the earth, and not just for selfish reasons.

During none of these events, where Crowley is doing the right thing, is he “nice” in the terms defined earlier.

Aziraphale doesn’t distinguish between the two words, or words like them, and so he uses “nice” and “Good”(notice the Capital G) when it might be more accurate to use “kind” and “right”.

I think it might be telling that Crowley does distinguish between them. As he lives far more comfortably in the shades of grey than Aziraphale does.

Fin.

If you liked those thoughts I write metas about good omens sometimes!

Here are a few!

Aziraphale and perspective on Crowley’s fall.

The start of their side and their differing feelings on being separate from heaven and hell. Crowley and Forgiveness

Exactly! Entities and how they fail to communicate.

Afterparty; Brother Harry:

"Harry it's gonna be fine! We'll all be together why are you making such a big deal about this?!"

"Because Yn, those parties are very wild! Anything goes there: drinking, smoking, people having sex randomly with anyone.... the list is endless! I don't want you going and that's that!"

You stomped towards Harry, combatively, challenging his answer. "I'm 19 years old, I can go wherever I want!" You ran up the stairs, bracing yourself against his body as you brushed past it. You slammed your bedroom door, fuming over your brother's unfair arbitrary charge. It was the afterparty of one of Harry's charities he was going to. Harry decided to take you with him to expose you to the arts and naturalism of music. He assumed it might inspire some creativity inside you to push you off from the rebellious streak you had lately.

Your eyes went straight to the sequin dark midnight purple dress that you had picked out specifically for the afterparty after the charity event. Black pantyhose, black heels and this black diamond bracelet would all be an accessorized attire to your silver and black smokey makeup. But instead, stuck wearing this gaudy white dress with cherry blossoms painted on them like some 6th grader going to her first prom. Harry loved the dress of course- picking it out for you with matching white flats. The dress in your mind was pretty, but not your taste. But since Harry was paying, what choice did you have?

Time came for the charity where Harry sat in the back of the van coaching you on how to behave and act. Listening narrow-mindedly to his instructions while internally flickering over your plan of the night. This boring charity event would soon be over and basking in the glory of the elite afterparty with your friends would be the highlight of the evening.

The charity was filled with boring chatter from Harry's upscale friends who talked endlessly about the dull hanging pictures of fruit and parks that added nothing nor took away from the slinky sculptures of rubbish that were tabled across in every corner. You side-eyed Harry chatting with a bunch of his friends, occasionally looking to you, like he wanted you to join in with their much more mature conversation or rather it was just his way of supervising you to keep you from escaping this wasted building.

The car ride home was this thick tense of quiet. Harry shuddered to ask your opinion on the night out- knowing you could never give a generous answer. Rather, more focused on the afterparty- staring stale out the window, taking in the glints of stars from the night. Your phone clock read 12:36- a little after 12:30. For you, it would mean that start of a fresh night filled with the stench of vodka, faint smoke shadows peering out of the mouths of partyers who stood to the side, puffing their cigarettes in and out, and the shimmers of flashy dresses and suits from the dim lights and the blaring music.

The rush blitzed through you like blood through veins. Harry, staggered into house, suit jacket slinked over his shoulder, keys jiggling from the first joint of his finger. "Bedtime, Yn," You let out a scoff, shooting Harry a look, "I'm not tired," "Well, then I'm going to bed- you can watch TV or whatever...." Harry was too tired to even argue with you. You watched him slouch up the stairs; debility and render wading around in his eyes. A sick ping tip toed through your stomach; feeling awful with the way you had handled your well meaning older brother. But even that couldn't shake you from the wish of attending that party.

Changing into your party dress, you snuck out of the house quietly, called an Uber and made it into the party. The smell of every alcohol hit your nostrils all at once while the quivering stench of cigarettes stung your eyes. "Yn! Glad you could make it!" Nicole, one of your friends said, handing you a drink.

Three drinks in and already feeling a little dizzy, you thought maybe dancing would help balance things out. "Heyyyy theeerrre honey," You turned to see a guy- black hair, grey eyes and a 3 o'clock shadow smiling, "Um, hi,"

"Wanna danceeee?" Obviously drunk, you tried moving away from him, only for him to grab the fringe of your dress and lift it to expose part of your thigh. "Stop that!" You snapped, splashing the remainder of you drink in his face.

Feeling cold and alone, you checked the clock of your phone- 3:00. "Damn! I need to get home!" You pushed your way through the crowd to find Nicole, only to spot a tall man- black trench coat, quiffed curls and a raspy voice, echo your name through the party the best way he could over the loud music. "Yn! Yn! Where are you?!" The panic in his voice was evident, evident enough to spike a deep rush of regret and guilt through you.

Green eyes finally spotted you, fading in and out between the brush of partygoers. Catching you, Harry pulled you into this tight hug, sniffing your hair for alcohol smell. "Are you okay?! Are you hurt?!" You shook your head, tears brimming your eyes. Harry dragged you out of the party, giving Nicole this look- a look of controlled command that only older brothers could possess.

Out on the lawn, empty cups hit your ankles and the cracking sounds of smashed pieces of glass beer bottles crunched beneath your heels. You looked at Harry, stopped and tangled him into a big hug, "I'm sorry!" You sobbed. Your glassy eyes looked into his, "He touched me..... he grabbed my dress and pulled it up!" You quivered. You felt the warm touch of Harry's hand group the center of your back. "It'll be okay..... I'm here... you're safe now Yn,"

He didn't yell at you. He didn't even so much as give you a sour look or blanket his stare with wrath. He just cuddled you- into his arms like a warm fuzzy blanket. Harry twisted his hand into yours before walking off to the car. You didn't feel like this little girl hanging onto her brother for protection, instead, you felt like a young woman who simply needed help and it was now being sent to her.

And you never wanted to let go.

*I'm back everyone!!!! Ik I've been sick for awhile, but things will be running smoothly again now!!!!!!*

[ask-healthy-light]

The final scheduled event for Sunday, outside of the closing ceremonies at the tail end of the day, was the charity auction, where items that people have sent in are sold to the highest bidder in the Hall; a few weeks before GalaCon started, I had asked about the possibility of submitting a written story commission, but in the email I received in return, I found my offer was politely turned down.

It took a little while before everybody in and around the venue made it to the Mane Hall, including the host, Perry, so my friend and I found some seats close to stage, right in front of more friends we knew from back home, who showed us their little plushies; and they told us about the vendor, and that they were right outside the doors, so we asked them to watch our stuff, while we headed there.

Fortunately, there were many plushies still available, and the line in front of their table was but a few people, so we returned mere moments before the host stepped onto the stage; and they told the crowd that the charity for which the Con was raising money was Make-A-Wish Germany, whereafter they played a short introductory video, showing a few unforgettable experiences they had given children.

Although I had no more physical bills in my wallet, I was relieved to find that we were able to pay by digital transfer via PayPal, so if there was something I wanted to bid on, unless the price went too high, I did not need to worry whether I was able to pay; so, when the first item, a massive set of drawings by Lightning Blitz, was shown, I was the first person who bid on this great collection.

After a little while of going back and forth between myself and (a guy in cosplay of) Saul Goodman, I was the ultimate winner of the set of drawings, and after transferring €225 to the PayPal account of the Make-A-Wish foundation, I took some time to look through everything; and I realised that the set had multiple duplicates of art, save for a few unique pieces, which I knew I would keep myself.

The frequent loud applause, combined with countless voices shouting out swiftly climbing amounts of money, made the entire auction very chaotic, as it had apparently almost always been; this was made especially clear a couple of items down the line, when a hand-crafted, engraved, wooden box, shaped like Twilight's Friendship Journal, was revealed, and Perry decided to drink some water from a cup.

Before long, the true chaos of the event started to become clear, as a few scattered people started to call out to Perry to sign the cup, followed by increasingly more people, until there was nothing they could do but sign the cup, which was the first sign of the chaos to come; for not only was the engraved book-chest sold for over €800, but people also started to bid on the signed cardboard cup.

Throughout the event, though there were plenty of items on the table to make it all the way through the planned time, there were a couple of unplanned items on which people also started bidding, such as Perry's hat; and as the crowd started chanting, Perry and all the special guests signed the hat, with Ana Sani, Izzy's voice actress, adding a note to sell the table next to her signature as well.

With a couple of massive and incredibly generous prices, such as €2.000 for a custom plushie of the event mascot Canni, €1.500 for the event banner designed by CypherWave, and €2.500 for Perry's hat, as well as a contribution fro, the Pony Events Foundation, the final price was revealed at the end; and the event had raised €21.000 in total, and stunned the Make-A-Wish representative into silence.

Unfortunately, all good things had to come to an end, and as there was nothing more to sign or sell for the auction, as even the marker pen that was used had been signed and sold, the only event that remained was the closing ceremonies; and although there was a great sadness in everybody as GalaCon came to a close, it was flipped on its head when Deus confirmed GalaCon would return again in 2024!

Though GalaCon was over, there was still a lot to do, and there is still a lot to talk about…

(Thanks for reading this bonus! I'll be writing more about GalaCon over the next few days, so keep an eye out if you're interested!)

(Mariposa AU) Mariharem x Revenge in "The Art Of Ruining A Career"

On an anonymous chat room, several teens met to discuss what to do with one rather... aggravating lying sack of manure. Lady Wifi, BoomBoxer, Queen Wasp, Vanisher, Riposte, and Chat Blanc were sick of their Lady Mariposa being attacked by this... XY... and wanted to get him to stop.

Vanisher's suggestion of making him vanish for good seemed a bit extreme, but so far it had the most traction, until Chat Blanc pointed out that Lady Mariposa wouldn't want harm to befall him.

They had to get revenge that she would approve of, or else they would risk losing their lady's favor. After all, she had asked BoomBoxer to save him.

They would ruin his career, in a way that wouldn't make her feel guilty. He was already doing half the work with his attacking a hero of Paris, the one that didn't have excessive property damage tied to her name.

Actually, she had made a deal with the city yesterday to championize a few civil engineers and construction crews to repair the city to code or better. Apparently Queen Wasp had an inside course with the mayor's office that she thought could be trusted implicitly. Lady Mariposa had even asked that the difference between the cost of labor from her champions versus the cost of having repair crews do the same be donated to specific, reputable charities.

It had been a week since the last Sentimonster, and they were trying to rebuild and regroup... especially since Chat Noir and Lady Mariposa responded to 48 monsters in two days, at one per hour.

That had to have taken a lot out of them.

So yeah... even if she was going to take the lumps, XY had picked the wrong target to mess with.

The chaos compels.

Fairy Tale RWBY: Fae Princess!Weiss & Woodsman!Ruby & Living Puppet!Penny in "Subtle Observations"

A tree following you in the middle of an empty field, a berry bush bearing fall berries in early spring that would creep after you in a flurry of rustles, and a rock that let out a squeal of panic as a snake slithered under it.

Penny and Ruby figured that they should probably just invite the Fae Princess along before she does something to get hurt.

Suffering In Another World

During a trip to visit a friend, a person is sent to another realm, and he is less than thrilled with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Inspired by Dracula Daily, a travel log of a different adventure. With @logo-comics providing the responses.

AO3 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/39441543/chapters/98712513

Hey Logo,

It’s been about three weeks since I was last online. At least that’s what my somehow still charged phone is telling me. As you might have guessed by the flaming skeleton who gave you the letter, it’s been an interesting three weeks. I suppose I should start at the beginning.

I will admit that I frequently get lost when traveling, but even this takes the cake. I hope that you understand that first and foremost I was really looking forward to meeting you and hanging out together for a while. At first I thought that driving through Illinois was taking a lot longer than I expected, and then the paved highway turned into dirt roads.

I had pulled over in an attempt to check the map, when I noticed a complete lack of signal on my phone. I was about to drive away when the strangest thing happened. You know that scene in Jurassic Park where the T-Rex crushes the RV? I got to live it! Only the dinosaur could fly, breathe fire, and steal my car.

I fell out of the door that had popped open, and laid on the ground as the beast flew away with my car and all my stuff.

Laying on the road, I saw many things that do not exist in our world flying overhead, and somehow knew I wasn’t in Kansas any more. After a while, I got up and decided to find my way somewhere with people that could help me get out of here. I never thought that being a scout would actually pay off. My bout of reflection had at least given me an indication of what I’m calling East to West travel of the main sun. The smaller one seems to follow it, but I want to see a model of the system before I make the call on that.

That’s probably boring to you, so I’ll fast forward through me walking through several days in the woods, sleeping in tree branches, and finding out that those pack bonding posts were serious business. I had a pack of wolves that were following me for a while, and then the leader was before me. I’m guessing that it was the leader as it spoke to me, and had a horn crown thing.

. . . I’m just realizing that I’m an idiot and that was probably a druid.

Anyways, they guided me to some water to drink, and showed me some safe to eat berries. Then they helped me get to a town, where they explained that the local wizards botched some ritual or other, and a lot of outsiders were in the area. Anyways, after eating some amazing roast pork (I like meat, and a week and a half with nothing but nuts and berries anything tasted glorious), the town guard gave me a run down of where I could shack up while they settle things, but if I wanted to do something, they could use some help.

So I’m working with the wizards to clean up their tower, and learning enough about their alchemy and magic to review his notes. Apparently pointing out that he missed carrying a 1 in the reagents is enough to qualify me.

It’s an extra 5 gold a week, and I’m doing something that isn’t sitting with my thumb up my ass. Also, I’m able to write these notes, and have access to the skeletal postal services. He is supposed to stay until you send a reply, and don’t worry about paying him. I paid for the reply and gave him a tip. I hope that my family will send me the care package of spices and soda that I asked them for.

I hope like hell they can help me get caffeine before I go out and strangle the rooster that crows at like three in the morning. Otherwise, there will be spiced chicken for dinner.

I hope that this letter finds you well, and that you are not stuck in a world of asshole dragons that steal your car, jerk roosters, and druids that like to mess with you.

I also hope that the skeleton makes my story a little more believable, and that you forgive me for missing our meet-up. I hope that I’ll have more to tell you in my next letter.

Oh, where are my manners? How are you doing? Sorry about venting like that.

Please write back, I am believing this is all a coma dream and figure that as long as I have something to look forward to I’ll survive longer.

[scentedchildnacho]

The English....my astrobiology teacher explained about a life tree eukaryotes prokaryotes and archea.....that I can learn to target a church for membership.....

Infectious disease represents a science of relational bacteria and echerie coli can look like cholera so it's not new to treat

Hygiene terrorism the quarter pounder knock out was in a Petrie dish ..

The bacteria was created in a lab

Churches show off that history has become too violent and they prefer channeled sponsorship and corporate conduct because right wing self governing is too dangerous so l.a. ness and daemonic cultural research gives opportunities for not having to be religious to practice

Cerebral palsey is why drought likes dry climates they could be well to do that way

Its these white stone sculptures that renew the southern system away from how scary and dark and punitive the mission inn tomah Riverside is

Union punishment....

Biblical reading this was about the love of Israels children....there are these other americanisms and the families just disappear....and God delivered Daniel from the lions den....so no not war before the world wars

Otherwise Mary baker Eddy refers to divine love as gallilean....and tributes to unselfish charity....so no materiality to these healings ...

Lucy Jamaica Kincaid doesn't completely make sense to me as a narrative but as an image and language poetics it's more about God then the characters discontent with United States aid about island obsessive compulsion

Lucy hates all flowers they are a spiritual carryover......though reminded these are beautiful things beautiful and Mariah always reminds her generously beautiful

Then Lucy finds her church in realizing she loves the ocean.....and children...because flowers are beautiful....

But then she has this strange episode where she decides to date this man her friend informs her is a pervert.....and the relationship turns out rough and violent because it's a pervert and believes genital mutilation is God and if marxists can't see in the flesh this divine change

That's me about its narrative not quite making sense she arrives because her island upbringing gave her obsessive compulsive so this nice family takes her and she resolves her genderdarme problem or may be relieved by finding in herself this desire for the ocean

But after she resolves this complex this terrible fear of African take overs like the Haitian revolution....she suddenly has this massive relapse into dating this man her friend specifically trains her to dislike

Her friend specifically tells her men with small genitalia are feminine and they lash out if marital rights aren't very open and lenient.....if she wants to kiss all the time and be very very attached together and closed to only one another has to be large genitals and she still wants to learn art forms that teach introversion through injury

Change can be discomfort but lucy wants real ink tattoos fascinated by injurious introversion

I found it mostly important because certain images like the male hand in a fish bowl or weeds swung in the air like a flag tend to remove the shock care and sympathy for the allusion to violent sex or ends PTSD

So the book ends explaining that Lucy's mother was delicate and suffered in pregnancy till she regularly thought about abortion.......

Mother God complex.....nowhere does Lucy dislike the United States though....she all the time enjoys it's passionate timelessness and doesn't really record much or think much....

If it's somewhere like London if your not reminded it was blitzed and exact schedule all the time or you can go seriously manic and surgery there ...all the time exact routine

Murder in the Blitz by F.L. Everett (An Edie York Mystery #1)

England, 1940. Newspaper secretary Edie York wants nothing more than to be a real wartime reporter. But when she stumbles upon the death of a Home Guard soldier she must turn her investigative skills to sleuthing…

Rookie reporter Edie York dreams of being out in the field, instead of being stuck writing up the wartime headlines, transcribing Churchill’s rousing speeches on her cranky typewriter. So when her first real assignment one misty morning ends with the crack of a pistol shot and the sudden death of a Home Guard soldier, she’s determined to take her chance and investigate. With the local police force, under the utterly irritating but outrageously handsome DCI Louis Brennan, stretched to the limit as bombs rain down, Edie strikes out alone. And she quickly discovers more than she’d ever hoped – or feared. From undercover spies to priceless stolen artwork, Edie is plunged headlong into a mystery that stretches from Manchester to Berlin. But when she finds another body in the blackout, Edie realises she’s bitten off more than she can chew. With an exasperated Louis finally lending a hand, can Edie unveil the murderer and make headline news, her name in print at last? Or will she be next…?

Buy link: https://geni.us/B0C33RSQ4Jsocial

My Review: This is the good start of a new historical cozy mystery with a quite complex plot, a feisty heroine and a fascinating detective. Edie is a likeable, witty, and ambitious rookie journalist who wants more than typing, making tea and acting like a secretary. She wants to become a reporter and when she starts her first assignment, she will work hard to solve a mystery with the of having found more than she can chew. It’s a slow burning story but, as it happens with a first in a new series, you get to know the characters and the environments. I appreciated the descriptions of the life in a paper and well research and vivid historical background. The characters are fleshed out and I can’t wait to read the next story as I want to know what will happen and how they will evolve. It’s an entertaining and compelling read, a bit slow at the beginning but it never drags or made my mind wonder Recommended. Many thanks to Bookouture for this ARC, all opinions are mine

The Lady Sif for @kiwimeringue! Combined her MCU and 616 looks for this one and had fun with it! 

[dontcallmecarrie]

Tony knew not many people understood his not-relationship with Justin. Jarvis had, Rhodey still had trouble wrapping his head around it sometimes but mostly got it, Pepper and Happy both seemed hover between a mix of the “boys will be boys” stance the press seemed to favor, and bemusement. 

It’s just.

Tony had friends, and enemies. Had allies and acquaintances, and teammates, now, too.

But Justin was special, because of everyone Tony knew, he was the only one who understood him on a level no one else alive could hope to match.

Was there before Pepper, before Rhodey— knew all his weak points, all his strengths, had been forged in the same fires that’d made Tony the man he was today.

Tony had been around 15 when he’d first learned that most of the time, there was no wrong answer when a kid was asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up?”

He’d known it, intellectually; but at the same time, it’d been impossible to wrap his head around. Had been mind-blowing, when Justin’s little sister had beamed and talked about art school when talking about future goals during the charity gala— like she wasn’t a high society brat just like him, like their parents didn’t have their lives mapped out to a tee. 

Tony was an only child, it was a given for him. But beyond that...

He remembered Howard’s scoffs, when the question had come up. His mom and Jarvis were very proud of anything he made, but on the flip side, nothing he ever did was good enough for his father because the man constantly seemed like he wanted his son to be better, to be more—

Tony hadn’t really thought about it, until then.

And then Tony had noticed the moue of disdain in Hammer Senior’s face, and the glint of grim determination in Justin’s eyes as he’d stared down his father with a wintry smile. The wordless challenge in his voice, as he politely asked his father if he was feeling well, and the start of the answering sneer— before the man noticed he had more than his kids as an audience, and shook his head with a cold “we’ll talk about this later” before stalking off to do whatever it was adults did at this sort of thing.  

Justin had deftly changed the subject not long after that, but that moment stuck with Tony.

But it wasn’t just that.

There was a strange sort of solidarity, in knowing he hadn’t been the only one born and raised with the express purpose of being his father’s future heir. 

And...

With Justin, there was also a certain sort of guilt, too. 

Not at the time, no, but later, when Tony was in college and blitzing through the coursework, he took a music history class because he needed humanities credits and it was the only class still open that didn’t have him on campus at 8 in the morning. 

It’s funny, really: he’d signed up because his mom taught him the basics of playing the piano, and thought it’d be a nice change of pace. 

Instead, that damn class ended up being Tony’s introduction to the term ‘gifted child burnout’. Which was a trip in and of itself, but came closely on the heels of his introduction to the in-depth biographies of Mozart and Beethoven, and. Um.

Well, there was no denying the parallels. 

Especially because the more he thought about it, the more obvious it was: the hints of bone-deep exhaustion that Justin never quite managed to hide, the books he always carried around, and the snacks. The way his smile sometimes froze over just a tad, whenever anyone mentioned their rivalry, and now Tony couldn’t help but wonder just what kind of childhood he’d had. 

It wasn’t his fault, Tony knew. But.

That didn’t make him feel any better.

For the record: when it came to classical music, Tony’s favorite was Beethoven.

Music is so good for the soul, and during these hard times we must all help each other to find moments of joy.

- Dame Vera Lynn (1917-2020)

Dame Vera Lynn, the beloved British singer, died 103 years old on 18 June 2020. Surprise at her death is swiftly replaced by the sad realisation that it marks the end of a chapter in British history. Many of those who grew up with her music have died during the Covid-19 pandemic. How poignant that her death should come on the day that President Macron arrived in the UK to mark the 80th anniversary of General De Gaulle’s rallying cry to the Free French and to give the Légion d’Honneur to London, the city that weathered the blitz in 1940.

From the battlefields of France, the Netherlands, Italy and North Africa to the Far East, whenever soldiers gathered around a radio set or gramophone, the smooth vocal tones of Vera Lynn were sure to be heard.

It is impossible to gauge whether the outcome of the war was swayed by songs like ‘There'll Always Be an England’, ‘We'll Meet Again’, ‘(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover"��� and ‘A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square’.

But for countless men in uniform, the lyrics and the slim, wholesome young blonde woman who sang them seemed to offer a vision of what they were fighting for.

To modern ears, the words might sound corny but at a time when Britain stood proudly against the Germans, their patriotic appeal was irresistible.

Vera Lynn epitomised an archetypical, essentially decent Britishness, practical and fair-minded - notions which shone through the songs she sang.

Even her version of the German soldiers' favourite song, ‘Lili Marlene,’ managed to sound like a patriotic lament, a far cry from the darker sexual undercurrents implicit in the versions by Marlene Dietrich and Lale Andersen - ironically both of them anti-Nazis who became the German forces' sweethearts.

Vera Lynn's most famous song remains We'll Meet Again, recorded in 1939.

Lynn’s wartime popularity was boosted because of the song.   The song’s appeal to love and stoicism - "Keep smiling through/Just like you always do/ Till the blue skies/Drive the black clouds far away" -- made it the perfect war-time anthem. It proved powerfully uplifting for departing soldiers, and it has endured as the defining song of the British campaign. The song re-entered the UK charts at No 55 amid the 75th anniversary celebrations of VE Day.

As she wrote later in her 1975 memoir, Vocal Refrain: “Ordinary English people don’t, on the whole, find it easy to expose their feelings even to those closest to them.” We’ll Meet Again would go “at least a little way towards doing it for them”.

In later years, the song, with its reminders of home and exhortations of courage, has become an indispensable part of national commemorations. And, with its swooping and strangely haunting melody, it has entered into popular culture. It forms an ironic accompaniment to the explosion of atom bombs in Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964); it is deployed with alienating effect in the Pink Floyd song Vera (The Wall, 1982); and it provides the eerie aural backdrop to the Tower of Terror ride in Walt Disney World, California.

But when Lynn began singing it at the age of 22, she had little idea that she would be singing it for the rest of her life.

Indeed the song found favour again this year when Queen Elizabeth II, in a rare public address to the nation, urged Britons to remain strong during the coronavirus lockdown.

"We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again," the monarch said.

Vera Lynn was born in London's East End on March 20, 1917 as Vera Margaret Welch.

She began singing in local clubs at age seven and joined a child dance troupe, Madame Harris' Kracker Cabaret Kids, at 11. By 15, she was a teenage sensation as a vocalist with the Howard Baker Orchestra.

She adopted her grandmother's maiden name Lynn as her stage name, making her first radio broadcast in 1935 with the Joe Loss Orchestra.

She worked with another of the great names of the pre-war period, Ambrose, whose clarinettist and tenor sax player, Harry Lewis, she was to marry. The couple had one child, a daughter.

In war-time, Vera Lynn came into her own, hosting a BBC radio programme, "Sincerely Yours", appearing in a forces stage revue, and making three films.

So what did Vera Lynn have that propelled her to stardom during the war, when she became the “forces’ sweetheart”? Youth primarily. She was in her early 20s when war broke out – Elsie Carlisle, the iconic singer at this time, was in her 40s and recorded very little during the war, while Gracie Fields, who was astonishingly popular in the 1930s, had the temerity to marry an Italian and sat most of the war out in North America.

The country was aching for a new female singing star and Vera Lynn – youthful, toothily wholesome rather than glamorous, and with an innate modesty that suited an austere and dangerous age that had no time for displays of ego – fitted the bill. She had a powerful, bell-like voice – at times she almost recites the words and employs oodles of vibrato to underscore the emotion of her songs – that was perfect for a singalong. It is when the audience joins in with her songs that you get a lump in the throat.

She came to represent so much, especially to the service personnel she entertained tirelessly during the second world war. She visited Burma, Egypt and India to give concerts for troops stationed there, an act of courage that should not be underestimated. These were difficult, dangerous journeys and not for nothing was she later awarded the Burma Star. She symbolised resilience and indefatigability, embodying a strength of character that transcended mere art. Nazism had no chance against this winsome, optimistic, joyful yet tender young woman.

Lynn gave up singing after the war but was persuaded out of retirement in 1947 and began a whole new international career, with appearances in the United States in 1948.

She became the first British artiste to have a US number one with "Auf Wiedersehen, Sweetheart", her most successful record, in 1952. However Vera Lynn's career foundered in the rock and roll era and she cut back on public appearances.

Artistically, it must have been infuriating to be forever associated with the wartime struggle and she did attempt to move on, recording a few Beatles numbers in the 1960s and even making a country disc in 1977. But nothing could shift the way she was seen by the public: a symbol, quintessentially British, of that unimaginably long, bleak, ultimately triumphant wartime struggle; an icon frozen in time.

She accepted her status as a living museum of wartime music and culture with customary good grace. “I never thought the ‘forces’ sweetheart’ tag would stay with me,” she told the Radio Times in 2014, “but it has, hasn’t it? I thought it would last for the war period, then I’d just be another singer. Of course I’ve never minded that everybody always connects me with that time. It was so important.”

For decades, she was a beloved figure at celebrations to mark the anniversaries of the June 6, 1944, D-Day landings in France or VE Day, the end of the war in Europe on May 8, 1945.

Her last public performance came in 2005, at the 60th anniversary celebrations for VE Day in Trafalgar Square. She performed a snatch of We’ll Meet Again, and told the crowd: “These boys gave their lives and some came home badly injured and for some families life would never be the same. We should always remember, we should never forget and we should teach the children to remember.”

She was awarded an OBE in 1969, and made a dame in 1975, for her charity work. She has given her name to her own breast cancer and child cerebral palsy charities, and has also worked with charities for military servicepeople, including Forces Literary Organisation Worldwide (Flow)

In 2009, at the age of 92, she became the oldest living artist to make it to No 1 on the British album charts, with a greatest hits compilation outselling the Arctic Monkeys.

During the build-up to her 100th birthday in 2017, Dame Vera said she found it "humbling" that people still enjoyed her songs.

The Queen wrote to her: "You cheered and uplifted us all in the war and after the war, and I am sure that this evening the blue birds of Dover will be flying over to wish you a happy anniversary."

Her songs spoke to people caught up in war, trying to respond to its emotional extremes as best they could. They encapsulate fellowship and battling through, not jingoism, for all the flag-waving that accompanied her appearances at commemorative events. “We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when.” The lyrics could not be more banal, yet her genuine spirit invested them with deep humanity. As HM Queen Elizabeth II herself understood, what keeps us going in times of war and pandemic is the thought that we will be reunited with our loved ones, when the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

RIP Dame Vera Lynn

We’ll meet again....

A drabble with one of my newer oc’s Bill in it. It’s more a sort of testing writing the character drabble but had fun writing it.

"Can I talk to Stolas?" 

Blitz looked down, stopping in the middle of his phone conversation with Stolas, and saw one of his kids.

Billie, or as she liked to be called, Bill, was a unusual child. Her rare skin condition that made her skin all white and very prone to skin problems. This made her green eyes stand out very brightly on her face. 

The kid was always tidy looking. Her clothes (normally some pants, dress shirt, vest combo) her short black hair, somehow even her nub like horns felt tidy and neat.

What made her more different then most of the kids was her interest in scams, cons, and any sort of shenanigans that would end in her gaining money of goods. She also happened to be very good at it.

"Why do you want to talk to Stolas?" Blitz asked, instantly suspicious. 

"I just want talk about this charity I'm-"

Blitz uncovered the phone long enough to say "I'll call you back." to Stolas before hanging up.

"You can't scam Stolas." Blitz said the moment he hung up.

"Honestly I think I could." Bill said.

"No. I mean you can't scam Stolas because I said no scamming Stolas." Blitz said.

"Oh come on! He could be such a easy mark!" Bill cried.

"Please stop calling Stolas a mark." Blitz said.

"But he's a rich. And perfect for a con." Bill said.

"No trying to scam Stolas. I mean it." Blitz said.

Bill huffed and stomped away.

"Well, there goes my afternoon plans." Bill grumbled.

Bill however was one who could roll with the punches so to speak, and figured out a new afternoon plan.

"Hey, Moxxie!" Bill called out, shuffling the card deck she liked to keep in her vest pocket.

Moxxie was not at all pleased to be targeted for this sudden game.

"No, I'm not interested in a card game." Moxxie said. "I always lose money to you."

Bill continued on like she hadn't heard Moxxie. She shuffled the cards with ease, the cards moving in a flash of motion.

"Pick a card, find the heart card." Bill said.

"Sir-" Moxxie called out.

"You heard her, Moxx. Pick a card." Blitz said, not looking up from his phone.

Moxxie, now resigned to the fact that he would have to play this game and most certainly lose some money on it, sighed deeply and picked a card closer to the end of the deck.

The card was a spade.

"Oh no, what are the odds that I lost." Moxxie said in a bored tone.

"That's the way the cookie crumbles so they say." Bill said. "Now my payment if you please."

Moxxie knew that it wasn't worth trying to not pay up. Bill could be very insistent when it came to money. One time the child had talked the twins into backing her up when collecting so called earned money. Which would have not worked as well if the twins did not have baseball bats in hand and intended to use to them. 

"Fine, here." Moxxie grumbled, shoving two soul bucks towards Bill.

"Thank you. Would you like to go another round?" Bill asked.

"No!" Moxxie cried.

"Okay, here we go. Find the heart card. Maybe you'll succeed this time." Bill said, already shuffling.

Millie just happened to step back into the office at this point.

"Bill, are you trying to scam Moxxie again?" Millie asked.

"Maybe." Bill said.

"No you are not. Enough of that." Millie said.

Bill knew Millie would not fall for her sales pitches as easily as Moxxie did. So with a shrug she put her cards away in their little box and walked off. Millie turned to Blitz and Loona.

"And why didn't you two try to stop her?" Millie asked.

"Because I support Blillie's dreams." Blitz said.

"Because it was funny." Loona said.

Thankfully Bill was done focusing on scamming Moxxie and was dedicated to the arts and crafts of making fake scratch off tickets.

London’s Historic Cinemas

As some visitors at Park Avenue Hyde Park may be aware, the London Film Festival finished its annual tenure in the city for 2021. Hosting new work from international auteurs and up and coming filmmakers, the London Film Festival is one of the most influential and reputed in Europe, often seeing red carpet appearances from some of the best-known celebrities in the world. 

Whilst the film festival has closed for this year, the cinemas that hosted this exciting festival are a massive part of the experience. From West End gems to cutting edge gateways into new districts, taking a trip to one of the many historic cinemas in London is an enriching way for Park Avenue J Hotel London Hyde Park guests to get to know the city. Below you can find out more about the revolutionary, historic and all-around magnetising cinemas in the English capital, and the types of events that take place there.

Regent Street Cinema

The Regent Street Cinema is one of the most famous in London and was opened in 1848 as a theatre for what is now the University of Westminster. Often cited as the “birthplace of British Cinema” the projection capabilities of the 187-seater on Regent Street allows it to screen 16 and 35 mm film reels as well as 4K digital formats. This means that cinephile guests at hotel accommodation London can expect a varied programme of often never before seen movies.  Another historic accolade held by the Regent Street Cinema is that it was the first in the UK to show X-rated films, although now it is rather more family-friendly!

Prince Charles Cinema

A firm favourite for cult films, the Prince Charles Cinema is the home to some of London’s best movie marathons and is easily reachable for guests at the Park Avenue J Hotel London. From Lord Of The Rings all-nighters to late-night Halloween specials, Prince Charles was built in 1962 as a theatre but was developed into a  cinema for adult movies before its expansion into a fan-favourite repertory cinema. The Prince Charles Cinema, which is located just off of Leicester Square, is famous for hosting regular Q & A’s and for its seasonal Rocky Horror Picture Show and Sound of Music singalong screenings, making it the proud last independent cinema standing in the West End.

Brixton Ritzy

Not only is the Brixton Ritzy a social hub and community-oriented south London cinema but is a Grade II listed building too. With its music and spoken word staging second-floor cafe bar, the Brixton Ritzy has been establishing itself as a cinema for the people since it was opened in 1911 as the “Electric Pavilion”. With a long history of name changes and left-wing political advocacy, the Ritzy is accessible for all and wears its historic London reputation proudly.

Rio Dalston

The Rio in Dalston is a two-screen cinema on Kingsland High Street that has been open since 1915. Originally an auctioneers shop, the cinema was redeveloped in the art deco style seen today in 1933 and was refurbished once again in the 1950s’ after suffering damage during the Blitz. Its history as a foreign language and adult film cinema during the 70s’ saw it grow into a much loved independent movie hub in later decades. Now the Rio is registered as a not for profit charity, in keeping with its long history and stellar international programming.

KakaIru Zine FAQ's

1) Are you for-profit or for-charity zine?

We’re both, a hybrid. This means that after production costs, the profits will go towards all the zine contributors and also a charity.

2) What charity are you donating to?

We’ll be supporting the wonderful AO3. One of our mods suggested adding them to the list for voting, and by far, AO3 came out on top for the votes.

3) What is the theme?

The theme is The Red String of Fate, and you’re welcome to interpret this as you wish. All in universe and alternate universe ideas are welcome. We encourage everyone to stretch their creative muscles!

4) Who are the mods for this zine?

We’re a six-person team made up of yabakuboi, magnustesla, i-drive-a-nii-san, caped-ace, anniemaar, and tea-blitz. You can find more about us here.

5) What are your requirements for contributor applications?

Please see this post here for further details.

6) Do you have guest contributors?

We do! The mods all discussed guest contributors they’d like to see, and after a vote was cast, we invited them on board. We’ll announce them at a later date!

7) How will contributors be compensated for participating?

Contributors will at the very least get a physical copy of the zine and a full merchandise bundle. We would like to make free shipping possible for them, too. After production costs, profits will be split between contributors and our chosen charity.

8) When do the contributor applications open?

Contributor applications are open right now until April 15th. We hope to see you apply!

9) Are contributors allowed to sell their own art they made for this zine?

Yes, they are; however, we have a strict 90-day period kept for our zine’s exclusivity once the zine has been produced and shipped out.

10) What will be the minimum and maximum word count expected for writers?

The min word count is set at 1.5k, with a maximum of 2.5k.

11) How many pieces of art will artists be expected to create?

Between 20 artists, they’ll be creating 15 single full pages and 5 double page spreads. The finer details of who is doing what will be discussed with successful applicants and the zine mods.

12) How many pieces of merch will merch artists be expected to create?

Between 5 merch artists, they’ll be creating: 3 prints, 2 acrylic charms, 2 buttons and 1 sticker sheet. If we reach stretch goals, there will be 1 extra sticker sheet, button and acrylic charm. As above, the finer details will be discussed between the zine mods and successful applicants.

13) Will you be emailing applicants regardless of being successful or rejected?

No one likes being left in the dark, so of course. We’ll endeavour to get them sent out as scheduled, but please do bear with us if we’re a little late.

14) How many contributors are being allowed into the zine?

20 artists, 10 writers and 5 merch artists.

15) What is your schedule?

Check out our tentative schedule in the navigation menu on desktop, or click here if you’re using the tumblr app or mobile browser. We will be keeping as close to this schedule as things unfold, but if there are any changes we will announce them.

16) Will you be shipping internationally? What would the costs be for it?

At present we haven’t all the finer details right now to answer that. But we’re most definitely hoping and planning to if it’s possible, along with trying to make sure we can lower the costs if feasible.

17) Will the zine be available in a digital copy as well?

Most definitely. We’ll be selling both physical and digital copies of the zine.

18) Will the applicants be able to request critiques?

Mods will provide a critique upon request!

If you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out via a message or ask on here, twitter, or you can send us an email at kkirzine@gmail.com
