Propaganda:

She is one of the seven songstresses of Court Alf, so she must have a beautiful voice. I imagine she would likely also use magic to record underwater, creating a very interesting and unique sound.

So this is a follow up to my first post about this theory of nightmares counterparts being linked to the neighbours in some way. These are my two coins of this theory with what I think what they could mean but with rest of neighbours

If you want to see part 1 ----> PART 1

Spoilers for tnmn nightmare mode!

TW: Brief mentions of misogyny, fatphobia and racism

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arnold: His nightmare counterpart is a cultist, I think this comes from demonstration because he is a black man. Racist white people villainize Arnold because he is a black man and he is a writer trying to make it big/already made it big and the racists didn't like that at all so they villainize the poor man.

Alf: He is a lawyer, we don't know what type of lawyer he is. Whatever lawyer he is, he mostly likely played dirty in court so the judge takes the person he is the lawyer for side instead of people who accused the person. Hinting of his nightmare counterpart being a soul scarecrow. He scared the people who accused his clients and leaving them with no justice. This might happened in his youth when he was starting out to be a lawyer and didn't want to be seen as a failure or he always been like this.

Raftellyn: Her nightmare counterpart causes disforms faces, I think she has low self esteem of her appearance due to the beauty standard of the 1950s and misogyny against aging women/old women. I think when she was young, she was beauty young lady but when she got older, she felt like she is "passed her prime". Seeing herself as a object than a human due to misogynistic men commenting about her aging appearance.

Margarette: She was mostly bullied for a weight by fatphobic people, Making very cruel "jokes" about her weight. So her nightmare counterpart's "job" embodies the cruel treatment she got. Also Margarette's nightmare counterpart has Mudusa's snake hair, I don't know if that's just a design choice or it plays a part in Margarette's story in a way. (If it does play a part in her story, it does depends what type myth of Mudusa its playing into. I leave that up to the fandom)

Dr.W.Afton: His nightmare counterpart is just a Springtrap reference but I'm going off what he does in nightmare mode like what I did with Steven, Albertsky, Mclooy, Raftellyn and Alf since their nightmare counterparts are just references to characters (Albertsky's,Alf, Mclooy, Raftellyn nightmare counterparts being a reference to a character) or a person (Steven's nightmare counterpart being a reference to a band member irl). Dr.W.Afton's Springtrapsona goes out to collect skin. Maybe Dr. Afton is dealing with the guilt of him playing a part of the doppels wrath against humanity and endangering his future wife in a way. He is trying to find right "skin" to confess to Mia but hasn't found it yet.

[ramonag-if]

Oh how i want that au become a real thing, like im so happy Alf in MC life againnn

Also speaking of Alf, do you think many nobles will try to court him? Lol

I miss Ahlf too 😔 He's always so fun to write since he's an emotional rock. There definitely would have been nobles interested in courting him, either for his proximity to Erlan or because they found him to be an attractive, potential husband but Ahlf would have rejected them. Mostly, his focus is keeping the MC safe (they're still an outsider) and also, he's hung up on Salyra in this timeline 😅

From Chapter 3 of Coronet and Witch Iron

“You see.” Cenred began. “Sometimes being king is making hard choices, so Arthur, you're going to make a hard choice. It's obvious you care about your Court Sorcerer. So now you have to choose.” Cenred’s eyes lit up with glee. “Either we have Alf here stab Merlin in the chest.” Cenred gestured at a particularly old-looking nobleman. “He's almost blind now so he might stab Merlin somewhere deadly as is his goal. Or he could miss.” Cenred leered at them. "Or we give Merlin poison. Just enough so that it might kill him or might not. Either way, you watch. Now choose.”

Merlin turned to Arthur and opened his mouth just in time for a guard to clamp a leather-covered hand over it. “No.” Cenred snarled at him. “Arthur has to choose! He is, after all, king.”

Arthur watched Cenred with wide, horrified eyes. “You want…”

“Not so much the great king now.” Cenred taunted.

Arthur seemed to decide something right then. His eyes flicked to Merlin and back to their captor. “No, you’re right… I’m not.” Arthur's teeth grit. “I am just jealous of you… I will beg you however you want.”

Cenred smiled as Merlin struggled. “Then beg. Kneel."

Merlin watched as Arthur’s legs were undone; he fell to the ground before Cenred, still half strapped to the chair. Arthur did not hesitate and Merlin realized the reason why. Arthur was trying to save him. This was no longer a matter of his pride to him. Arthur knelt there, bowing his head. “I, Arthur Pendragon, submit to you and beg you… for your mercy.”

Merlin prayed it would be enough because he knew choosing how Merlin would possibly die would be torture for Arthur. And if he actually died… He didn’t even want to think about what that might do to Arthur.

Cenred placed a hand on Arthurs's head. “I appreciate your begging. Unfortunately, you still need to choose.”

Arthur launched himself at Cenred just as guards grabbed his chair and forced him back.

“If I don’t choose!?” Arthur demanded. “You sick, sick coward of a man. If I refuse to play your games?”

Cenred smiled. “Then we’ll cut his throat. You’re running out of time, Arthur Pendragon; it's time to pick.”

A 70-year-old Alberta woman was convicted this week of second-degree murder and indignity to a body for fatally stabbing her husband, removing his arms and dumping his body 150 kilometres east of her home on an abandoned farm in Saskatchewan.

The crime has no clear motive, but the details are outlined in Court of King's Bench Justice Dallas Miller's 34-page conviction decision, which was handed down following a trial earlier this month that saw prosecutors Jase Cowan and Brian Shantz call 18 witnesses over the seven days of evidence.

The victim was Alfred (Alf) Belyea, a 72-year-old Cypress County councillor who had served his community for six years and had recently told his wife and friends he was planning to seek another term.

So I have a new fic. Shocking, I know.

(Yes, I'm still late with 2 assignments. Any help with writing the letter to the professor is welcome. explaining I can't stay awake more than an hour for the last weeks is hard.)

It's inspired by @byrambles fic "another mirror".

Explanations+thoughts+side notes under "read more"

Summary:

Damian is sitting on the cot in the containment cell when the world ends.

"You will be facing charges in twelve hours," says the older version of his brother. "By the Justice League court.”

...

Of legacy, family, and Learned Helplessness.

(How do you push forward when your reasons are gone?)

It's kinda dark. Which is very understandable, as I wrote it when I was very hurt and suicidal. (I'm better now. But I now it happens).

Thoughts and notes from the writing process below-v

Tevya: wait, I just realized Dami thinks THE OTHERS ARE DEAD.

Me: I don't know if he thinks they are dead, but they are surely lost for him - so might as well be dead. (For extra angst: Something about Object Permanence, and knowing things doesn't disappear just bc u can't see it. Another thing about separation anxiety and how, for Dami, it's a well learned lesson that if he doesn't see someone, if he doesn't keep an eye on them, they are probably dead)

D

About Trauma, PTSD and cPTSD (as I see it). About Dami's inner monologue/broken sentences.

Some things just doesn't have words. PTSD is The unspoken break, the fractured paragraph in one's story. cPTSD is a swollen book, one that fell into the sink and only some of the words can be recognised. You may have a full chapter, or a several words, or some pages are so badly destroyed you fear even looking at them. And even after, even after you dried that book and put it in a safe place - Those pages will always be heavy, and broken, and wounded. This book will always be different than the others.

(But it's still worth it)

About the scene with Dami prepare for his death:

So, I'm not Muslim - I'm Jewish.

But this scene is heavily inspired by the many, many people we lost during the holocaust. Not just for death, but also from the group. They were lost to our people, our nation, for ever, and so are their descendants.

One of the most told stories I remember being told as a kid, is one of a Rabbi who went looking in every orphanage and Monastery, And whnever he was told "we don't have any Jewish kids here" he asked them to bring in all the kids. Then he said "Shma Israel" (a prayer, one of the simplest, many people use to say it also at bed before going to sleep). Every kid who put a hand on their eyes, he was like - yes, they are Jewish.

And it's small. But I also think of all those who WEREN'T found .

Idk.

I have a lot of feelings about culture and groups.

About Tim& Dami's escape+Alfred's death:

In my head, Dami tried to die once when he was about 9-10, and Alfred found him. They made sort of agreement, so Dami promised he'll take care of himself, and Alf promise they'll escape. In my head, a short while after Tim was taken they were meant to escape. Was it only enough for two people? Or did Alfred stayed back to cover them? Idk. But the results is this: Dami and Tim escaped and caught up after about a week. (Did B killed Alfie? Did he make Dami do that as part of his punishment? Did Alfie killed himself, so he won't tell where they are? Trader's choice.)

[zilabee]

“I had to drive John, Cynthia, George and Patti to Hyde Park Square in London to this dental surgeon's place. They went in to dinner and I headed off to get something to eat. Fortunately, as it turned out, I got back pretty quickly and waited in the car.

“Suddenly they all ran out and jumped into the car and they seemed to be in a bit of a state.”

They told Alf, the only straight one among them, what had happened.

“This man, this doctor, had slipped LSD into the coffee. And this was a professional man - a dental surgeon. I'm convinced this is the first time they had ever taken the drug. It was a strange but in some ways hilarious night. I was on the outside looking in and I didn't really know what was going on in their heads. This was not the George and John I was used to dealing with. But ultimately I was there to serve these people and take care of them.

“There are various stories surrounding this incident. That they went on to a club or that George was driving... not true. I can swear to that.

“They got in the car and were clearly quite distressed. They kept asking, “What are we going to do?”

Alf decided to drive them back to Esher to what Alf called the Wall Bungalow, George's house.

“I'll always remember, we were driving down the Kingston bypass, past these rugby fields and on the left were all these tennis courts and so on. There is a section which is split by conifer trees, pine trees, and I remember one of the ladies, Patti, saying “Look at these big brown bears. They are just so huge.” She must have been hallucinating like crazy.

“They were screaming, “Alf! Don't go so fast!” and I was like doing 30mpg, 40mph max. But I could tell they were getting very nervous, very agitated, so I slowed down even more.”

He slipped out of the car, pulled back the gate, and drove his famous passengers up the driveway.

“I let them out and it was an unpleasant experience they were going through. They were still clearly under the influence of LSD, but back in the safety of George's place they seemed more relaxed. Patti looked out at George's swimming pool and said “Look, the pool's turned completely red”.

“After a bit I decided it was safe to head off. I secured the door and left the four of them there. That was all that was ever said about that incident. I always thought what that doctor had done was despicable, lacing their coffee with this potent drug, without their knowledge.”

Alfie Solomons- Love At First Sight Pt4

6 moths later

"They're gonna kill me"

"And what do you suggest we do Alf? I can't hide this for much longer" I point to my bloating stomach

"You could hide with me at home"

"And then what Alfie? my brothers will wonder where I am for the next 6 months. I've managed to hide this from them for 3 months, aunt Poll is getting suspicious. No. We're telling them today"

Alfie and I are currently in the car on the way to my house in Small Heath where I have called a meeting

"But they didn't even know we were going steady right. Going from business partners to knocking up Tommys sister, I'm dead"

"Your not fucking dead. Alfie, Tommy loves me and he will do anything for me. Even put up with you. And anyway they are more likely to kill you if we keep us and the baby a secret"

"Right. Best got on with this then" Alfie says trying to act tough, but I know he's scared.

We arrive at the house where everyone is already waiting

"What's all this about then aye" Tommy asks breaking the awkward silence after taking a puff of his cigarette

"We've been lying to you Tom. I've not been going to London because of problems with the business"

"Then why have you been going to London then?" Arthur grunts giving Alfie an evil look

"Well errm you see" Alfie gets nervous

"Alfie and I have been courting for the last 5 months" I watch all of my brothers' jaws clench

"But that's not all is it" Polly says

"No" I sigh

"Your in the family way aren't you?" I look down at my feet, then realise I shouldn't have to feel ashamed of myself. I look back up and stand tall

"Yes" I look around expecting my brothers to go mad, but no. They are quiet

"They seem to be ok" Alfie whispers

"This is the calm before the storm" I watch Tommy stump out his cigarette

"Your pregnant" he says as a statement "and Alfie is the father" he walks over to Alfie getting in his face "is that right?"

"Look mate.."

"Im not your fucking mate"

"Tom stop. Look this wasn't planned"

"I can arrange for the... issue to be resolved"

"You know just as much as I do, what your suggesting is illegal. And anyway Alfie and I are happy"

"Is that right? Polly, Ada go and take YN to the kitchen and her a drink"

"Come love"

"I'm not sure this is wise" I tell Polly

"Alfie will be fine. Come on" Ada takes my hand and we walk into the kitchen.

"No broken glasses, that's a good sign" Ada says when John walks through the door

"Well Alfie is still alive, although both he and Arthur have a black eye" John laughs

"Your not mad?"

"Why should I be. All of us brother have had sex outside of marriage. Hell I got Martha pregnant out of marriage. Tommy and Arthur know what it's like to nearly loose a sister because of them getting pregnant" John looks at Ada then looks back at me "they also know what it's like to become an uncle. Of course I've had words with Alfie, but no point in killing him is there when he will be needed to help you look after the child. Now. Come on Tommy wants to talk to you" I nod my head and get up. I walk out of the kitchen and find Tommy, Arthur and Alfie all with a drink in hand

"Now that we've had a chat. What I would like to know is when is the wedding?" Tommy asks taking another cigarette

"It's the thing to do innit. But your sister is as stubborn as you. Said no didn't she. 2 times"

"Because I'm not marrying someone just because I'm pregnant. Why should I? If Alfie wants to marry me because he loves me then I'll say yes, but for now it's a no"

"At least put a ring on your finger YN, don't need anyone in our business"

"I'm a Shelby Arthur, no one will say a thing, but if it makes you all feel better fine. I'll wear a ring" I cross my arms at my eldest brother

"Good. I'm still not happy it's with him, but could be worse"

"That's the spirit Arthur" Alfie smiles

"Can I finish my tea now?" I ask looking at Tommy

"Yes. Finn will go and get it" Polly says guiding me to a chair. Finn then enters holding my cup

"So. Another sister moving to London then" John says sitting down "you keep an eye on her Ada. She may be older than us but she's a trouble maker" he points at me

"I will"

"At least neither of you will double cross each other again" Polly sighs

"I'm not upset about the baby out of marriage. But I will be upset if you hurt my sister"

"Wouldn't dream of it mate" Alfie tells John before sipping on his drink. This went a lot better than I though, but that doesn't mean something won't bubble up with my brothers.

Man, I don’t know about this new Night Court revival without Harry Anderson or Markie Post. And speaking of old TV shows, what is going on with NBC these days and revivals?  They have Night Court, Magnum P.I., Quantum Leap, and original Law & Order. A few years ago they also had brought back Will & Grace too. I guess it won’t be too long until they bring back ALF or The A-Team.

[saavikamhere]

I hope these scribbles makes sense. I WILL see Kathy in court in defense for Tom Paris's rights as a human being. Bitch.

Then again why do I feel these things... why do I have the tendency to display such factsimulus divulgences into illogic?

At some point in my life, regardless of what bloodline I technically belong to [ITS SAAVIK HALF GET BETTER MATERIAL AND H ALF GO FUCK YOURSELF] if I am going to effectively control these feelingthings that occur in the brainmind then having a frame of reference helps imensially.

Perhaps it is the standards we starfleet captains put ourselves on. Some people, Vulcans very much included, forget just the kind of power we're able to draw. What mosts disappoints me is all however when looking past on the "30 Days" log is the lack of responsibility being taken on Janesay's part.

It would be illogical for me to psychoanalyse Janeways brain conditions when she made the order to intercept the Delta Flyer missile. It's a whole another thing when the next thing she does is... leave, not knowing if anyone was hurt and them project the associated guilt with making a descion like onto Tom Paris, who had explicit permission from Riga!

It reads like, at her worst, Janeway is a calous coward who can't "own up" to her actions. At least in this instance

Anyhow this post is about worker's solidarity for Tom Paris.

"Barbaric" is a term we Vulcans like to through around a lot and has in my perspecitve lost its meaning. However, considering the punishment Mr. Paris received under the Comand of Captain Janeway for a crime that he was not responsible THE TERM BARBARIC WOULD BE APT

CK3 GOT Hetalia Mod Part 2: House Lannister

Their goal: Take the Seven Kingdoms with Fire, Blood and Money. The Lannister Family is my 'Easy" start. They are rich and start off with quite a bit of money already on hand. Along with their well trained dragons this is a house that, so long as you can avoid your neighbors, they Tyrell Family for a bit then you should be able to sweep the kingdoms no problem.

(All Dragons are given Fire or Treasure inspired names sometimes both.)

First Up: King Alfred Lannister of The Rock and High Lord Of Casterly Rock. (America)

King Alfed Lannister is: Arrogant, Brave, and Generous. Avaricious, Rough Terrain Expert, Aggressive Attacker, a Twin (with Canada), Robust, Skilled Fighter, a Tourney Knight, Handsome & a Dragon Rider. He is a Westernlander and follows the Faith of the Seven. His Patron is the Smith, putting value on gold first. His best Friend is Lovino Tyrell who is warding at Casterly Rock under his uncle Ludwig.

He rides Suncrown a magnificent, accepting, impulsive, Imperious & well Trained dragon. Because Suncrown is a magnificent dragon this gives Alfred a monthly boost to his renown. Snucrown is a realtivly lage dragon for his age, he is Golden with Golden eyes and Red wings (This is a male dragon).

Next: Prince Matthew Lannister, Alfred's current heir and the Heir to Castamere (from their mothers side.)(Canada)

Prince Matthew is: Arrogant, Brave, and Generous. He is an Aggressive Attacker, a Flexible Leader, a Knight, a Twin (with America), a Skilled fighter, a Wanderer, Cute & Dragon Rider. He is hardly at court and is constantly traveling the world on dragon back. He is a Westernlander & follows the Faith of the Seven.

Darkember is the dragon ridden by Matthew. Darkember is a Lone Wolf, Blood Thirsty, Aggressive, Voracious & Feral. They are also Matthew's Best Friend. A Wild dragon that loves their rider and no one else. Like a flaming sword in the sky Darkember has pitch black scales and eyes with fiery red wings. (I don't know the gender of this dragon)

Next up: Prince Ludwig Lannister current Regent of Casterly Rock

Prince Ludwig is a: Diligent, Brave and Ambitious. He is a Military Engineer, a Siege Expert, Athletic, a Knight, Handsome, Robust, Strong, Intelligent, a Formidable Fighter, Tourney Knight, Cute & Dragon Rider. He is currently acting as King on Alfred's behalf who is a child. and Grooming him for command. He is Married to Roslin Tully.

Fyreheart is the dragon ridden by Ludwig. Fyreheart is: Friendly, Accepting, Calculating & Perfectly Trained. She is Red with Red eyes and bright pink wings. This is a very well behaved Dragon, would probably roll over for a belly scratch. I imagine it would like cuddles and kisses. (I don't know the gender of this dragon)

Next up: Ser Matthias Lannister

Ser Matthias Lannister is: Just, Brave and Gregarious. He is Gallant, an Aspiring Blade Master, Military Engineer, Organizer, Rough Terrain Expert, Forder, Loyal, Knight, Athletic, Strong, Robust Skilled Fighter, Tourney Knight & Cute. Matthias is Rich due to winning so many Tourney's by placing bets on himself to win. He's a Westernlander & follows the Faith of The Seven.

Matthias's Dragon is Sapphfyre. a Royal Blue & Black Dragon. Sapphfyre is: Skittish, a Lone Wolf, Friendly & Trained. There is nothing all that 'Special' about this dragon, it's traits are pretty meh and it's pretty young & smaller. But it is the coolest looking one house Lannister has in my opinion. (I don't know the gender of this dragon)

Next: Prince Yao Lannister

Prince Yao is: Greedy, Brave & Stubborn. He is Avaricious, a Diplomat, a Wiseman, Cute, Trained Fighter & Dragon Rider. You can thank him directly that Casterly Rock has not gone bankrupt due to their Young Lords lavished life style. He always manages to find gold some place, and lots of it. He is married to Marybell Marbrand. He is a Westernlander & follows The Faith of The Seven.

Yao's Drago is named Jadefyre . Jadefyre is: Supporting, Aggressive, Defiant, Socialized yet he is Unhealthy. He's a little deformed and grows slower than other dragons but he can still do a lot of damage. (I don't know the gender of this dragon)

I think it's cute when these Huge terrifying Dragons pick the Youngest or weakest riders. It's kind of like them being like "Yeah I'll protect this one" very savior complex of them very demure very cutsey. You can just imagine the other dragons being like "Opalflame That's literally a baby it can hardly talk..." and Them Being like "Uh I think you mean MY baby! Don't touch it!" (I don't know the gender of this dragon)

Horse Time

A Scholarly Essay on the Vast History of the Horse

Hello, and welcome to Horse Time.

I’m Ector Fetlock, and today, I will be guiding you through the wonderful world of the horse.

Of course, we’re all familiar with the basic horse model, A.K.A. Horse Classic, A.K.A. Horse Prime, invented in 1923 by Zachary Horse.

But did you know that the world actually contains over 4 varietals of horse? Let’s take a look.

Here, we have the Stripeyhorse (also called the Tiger or Birch Horse). These horses are created through gradual paint application over the 15-year construction process, as can be seen below.

Tragically, the Stripeyhorse population is rapidly dwindling due to an increase in demand for city crosswalks.

Wrong Horse: Also called the Rabbithorse, this hearty horse is store-brand, and widely acclaimed to be “just as good” as Horse Classic by parents everywhere. It can also see ghosts and angels. (Essay continues below.)

The beautiful Tree Horse roams the woods looking majestic during the day before camouflaging itself in the trees in your backyard to watch you sleep. Do not attempt to prevent the Tree Horse from doing this, or it will call its large, ugly older brother (pictured below) to beat you up with his head-hands.

The Tree Horse is famous for turning into a skeleton during the winter.

The Demon Horse was placed upon this earth by the Adversary, as can be gleaned by their horns, jaunty beards, weird eyes and ability to possess the physical forms of sinners. They all suffer from pica.

Once every long rest, the cowardly Demon Horse can summon its legion of more powerful and interesting servants to assist it, including Big Boy,

The King of the Gods,

Beardy,

the North Wind,

the Judge,

Oscar Wilde,

Llewelyn,

Vlad the Impaler,

Curly,

Mr. Lobster,

and Alf.

Cloud Horses fall from the sky whenever a child wishes on a star. They reproduce through mitosis every 24 hours and live in a hive mind state with every other Cloud Horse in a 15-mile radius. If you touch a Cloud Horse with your bare skin, it will immediately pop apart in a burst of water, and its nonexistent blood will be on your hands.

Long Horses are masters of espionage and possess the power of invisibility. The breed gained its trademark length from being discovered while undercover in a royal court and sentenced to the rack. The Long Horse is diametrically opposed to the Cloud Horse on the Elemental Wheel, being made of white-hot magma.

Sweater Horse: Despite its soft, cozy outfit, the Sweater Horse is an uncouth ruffian. After luring unsuspecting victims in with hot cocoa and other home comforts, it beats them up and steals their money before pulling its sweater up around its head for protection and running away. (See below.)

All Sweater Horses are addicted to chewing tobacco.

Mountainous Horses are the namesakes of mountains and hills, which were inspired by their habit of burying themselves underground to sleep with only their enormous warts above ground to sense approaching threats. Underneath every mountain or hill is a giant wooden facsimile of a Mountainous Horse that was built by a renaissance artist. Some Mountainous Horses grow valleys after 100 years. (See below.)

Infant Mountainous Horses hatch from their parent’s backs.

Squat Horses: Squat Horses are made of reanimated human flesh bound in leather.

Eldritch Horse: This barely-fathomable horse is famous for being the size of your mother, having a horrible fish face and birthing the first Cyclopes from its facial tentacles. It should not be here.

Every millennium, it drops dead and its infant form claws its way from the enormous carcass to mature once more in a never-ending cycle.

Do not look it in the eyes.

The Semi-Aquatic Sumo Horse can run at 30 miles per hour and crush a human head in its jaws. This was the first horse to be witnessed emerging from the legendary Horse Hole. (Expeditions into the Horse Hole resulted in the faint sound of cheering and the investigative parties never being seen again. Results inconclusive.)

Jock Horse: The Jock Horse is a class-9 combat-grade horse made of titanium and powered by diesel. In case of emergency, its horn can be used to mold prosthetic limbs. The Jock Horse can control birds with its mind.

And, finally, we come to the majestic Fish Horse. While one of the most often forgotten when discussion of horses arises, it is perhaps the most beautiful of them all. With its operatic tones, cranial cannon and sharp fashion sense, the Fish Horse is truly one of our planet’s most glorious creatures. It lives leagues below the surface of the sea and feeds on old puppets.

And that’s the basic rundown on the currently acknowledged horses. While each variant has its own assortment of possible colors and shapes and Horse Theorization is constantly underway, this should serve as an adequate entry point into the Horse Community.

Thank you for joining me on Horse Time. Until next time, I’m Ector Fetlock, and may the horse be with you.

Secret History 7: Spicy Cinnamon

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/secret-history-7-spicy-cinnamon/

Secret History 7: Spicy Cinnamon

In early 1977, budding criminal Geri Bellino travelled to Sydney to recruit strippers for his new Brisbane club, World By Night. Among his hires – Spicy Cinnamon, or Shirley, as many of us knew one of Brisbane’s best-loved entertainers over the next few decades.

I first saw Shirley on television. She was working for the Peter Moselle Revue, a drag show that toured regional Queensland. During a season at a Hervey Bay Club, local television station Wide Bay 8 recorded the show for later transmission.

Other than the showgirls being advertised as men, there was nothing very shocking about the show – typical English music hall.

Until the end – when – without warning – Shirley stripped stark naked right there on the tele – on a Sunday night.

Well, not actually stark naked. She still had on 3 small roses – one covering each nipple and the last decorating a thin line of pubic hair in her crotch.

Geri Bellino hired Shirley and seven other entertainers to perform similar acts at World By Night.

Public nudity was illegal in Queensland. Very little was legal in Queensland. Joh Bjelke Petersen, a holier-than-thou Lutheran farmer ran the place as his own personal fiefdom, and the northern state enjoyed renown as Australia’s most conservative jurisdiction.

Geri Bellino later claimed the strippers at World By Night were never actually nude because they wore pubic wigs – muffs. Now, perhaps they did. Maybe just that night. But I lived for a while with a couple of the strippers and spent many a drunken night in the club and never once saw a muff.

It didn’t matter, though, because Bellino and his lawyers had a secret plan ready for the night they inevitably got busted for public nudity.

Spicy Cinnamon

Spicy Cinnamon – Shirley – formerly of the Peter Moselle All Male Revue, was one of the four transwomen employed as strippers at World By Night. She was also one of the most popular performers – tall, statuesque, glamorous and possessed of the cheekiest grin this side of Las Vegas.

So when Bellino and the girls fronted court charged with willful exposure, the defence lawyers put Shirley on the stand first.

When the prosecution demanded harsh punishment for the terrible crime of exhibiting a vagina, the defense immediately called a doctor who testified that that was impossible. Shirley did not have a vagina.

Sadly, Bellino and his lawyers did not let Shirley in on their cunning plan.

“They’ve ruined me,” she told reporters, “To hell with it. I’m leaving this town and going to Sydney, where people are more understanding.”

Shirley told the media hers had been the best-kept secret in town.

“Now, all the customers will be out to give me a terrible time. I really couldn’t cope with that.”

But despite her misgivings, Spicy Cinnamon remained a popular drawcard. She was back on stage at World By Night the following night and for years to come. She also became a popular performer in drag shows.

And I saw her first on the tele!
