A mother's word for word transcription of the imaginary phone call her four-year-old made to Santa Claus in 1911.
(source: The Harbor Beach Times, December 22, 1911.)
Through some outrageous case of serendipity I found a recording of another phone call this same child made 60 years later. Though I have to say his choice of conversational partner is a definite downgrade from the first call.
#I've started using 'our bees are all dead' as my standard filler during lulls in conversation#and no I am not kidding#that is actually 64 year old George Arthur Lincoln in the recording#I'm writing up a bio of him that will hopefully be up within a few days#because this kid grew up to be involved in Forrest Gump levels of 20th century historical events#he was the youngest american general in wwii and was involved in the strategy of d-day and the planned invasion of Japan#he was at yalta and potsdam#he started a social sciences department at West Point#which resulted in his students being called commies because why should soldiers study culture and economics instead of shoot gun at thing#he ended up as the director of the office of emergency preparedness while nixon was president - hence the phone call#this poor man had to sit through so many meetings with Henry Kissinger#his younger brother (Waunce from the letter) was also a general#they were known as 'big abe' and 'little abe'

Bl wise. I just realised how interested in am in seeing how they trend in countries where homophobia or homosexuality is repressed/penalised.
I used to notice quite a bit of bl edits in Russian, and now I saw the heartkillers trending very high in bangladesh, Hong kong, and Malaysia / Indonesia just from the top of my head.
Looking forward to the soft power of art and tv shows to helping change views and laws.
#the heart killers#thai bl#gmmtv#I wonder if gmmtv or aof / bl teams would ever get lgbqt rights prizes or recognition..#rainbow capitalism#And gl with soft butch leads even emerging!!!!!!!#Thinking ofc as well of Taiwan production houses and directors#And of boc bc you can whatever you want mile put in the coins to make it a visual festival#+ appreciation of how some scenes were picked. the “massage” parlors..#or the way the nc is filmed in regards to position. saw an edit in regards to the queer gaze which i appreciated. P'jojo said fantasy#but I'm wondering how or if he might do some politically veiled hints#wondering if they would do a 'hit' on a closeted homophobic politician or too on the nose?

corey commentary: the official making of h40 🎃🔪
honestly i feel like this book really helped me refocus my thoughts on corey and brought me back to basics for the first time in a while.
i've split this post into a few specific topics based on my own thoughts and the book details that i found most interesting. a lot of this i've talked about before but i'm bringing it back with evidence babyyy.
WARNING for suicide and suicidal ideation, murder, manipulation, mental health issues and crises, and passing mentions of child abuse.
costume
corey's costume was developed in reverse (pg. 176), starting with his final look, the leather jacketed bad boy, and working backwards to the opening scene look, the good boy on his way to the sock hop.
i love that this was the process, i think that's so interesting from both a design and character perspective. taking him from what he became to what he was? it feels sort of like they were centring nostalgia in a way, starting with who corey became and then looking back to who he was (and who he will never be again). it kind of makes his downfall even more heart-breaking to me.
rohan mention's wearing coreys clothes in his real life and how no one even looked at him (pg. 184). in the commentary he also mentioned wearing corey's glasses a lot to get into the character mindset.
very interesting that we have tried and tested proof that corey can literally fade into the background and go unnoticed. it must be a combination of trying to be visually more plain but also a very quiet demeanour. but then you have the angle of corey being forced to reduce himself to as small and quiet and invisible impossible. i like the way corey both wants to be invisible (to avoid confrontation) but also desperately wants to be seen and heard and believed and understood by someone.
frame of mind/suicidal ideation
rohan mentions that there's an element of corey having not been able to kill himself before, because it was too hard to do, but looking into michael's eyes he realises he can just "call it quits" and let michael do it. then, after he is spared by michael, it gives him "permission" (pg. 198)
i think it makes a lot of sense though that michael letting him go is what tips corey over the edge, maybe reinforcing his own buried guilt (if michael let him go, he must be evil, right?) and making it feel a lot easier to make horrific choices (murder) while also making his emergency exit plan (suicide) feel easier too, if he wanted to.
corey being "tainted" by the shape because he's so close to being that anyway (pg. 172).
i don't personally believe in evil as an actual supernatural force in these movies, but corey is definitlel portrayed as more susceptible to michael's influence, even if michael does actuall demand anything of him.
i think @/slutforstabbings was the one who mentioned this to me. but when corey meets michael he is mentally and physically more susceptible to reacting irrationally in a very real-world sense. he has a history of abuse, experienced a major trauma (the accident), been under intense stress (the party), and had a recent head injury (the fall from the bridge and smacking his head in the sewer). these factors all contribute to a mental health crisis and drastic change in personality.
i feel like this confirms that corey was likely headed for (possibly another) breakdown in the future, but the events of the party/meeting michael just triggers it sooner.
emotional control
rohan mentions corey purposely doesn't feel anything since the accident (pg. 188).
this might have been my favourite detail that gets mentioned. i've always thought that corey's way of surviving post-accident was to just shutdown completely and switch off all his emotions. it's interesting to know that rohan was playing him that way.
and also a lot of the time when corey does feel strong emotions, they are turned in on himself to try and keep them private, like his anger at terry results in him hurting himself (accidently) with the milk bottle, or him regularly climbing over the bannister at the allen house but not being able to let go while during the day he thinks about some outward expression of rage through the blowtorch at the garage.
the mirror scene symbolises the first time corey feels in control (pg. 198).
i've written about this a lot before, but i very much agree that the mirror scene is a moment of processing both "what the fuck just happened?" but also "this is what control feels like". corey's whole breakdown, starting from killing nelson, is about regaining control over his own life, even if it means un-restraining himself and doing horrific things.
killings
ryan turek (exec.) and paul logan (writer) specifically state how ends is essentially a revenge movie, with corey's kills start as revenge killings, but if he survived the kills would get more random (pg. 167).
i feel like this highlights the way that corey's connection with the shape is cut short, unlike michael who had it for decades. the shape (or the idea of it) lets corey get his revenge, but after that he could keep going, he'd pick up momentum and he wouldn't be slowing down.
this seems like this is pointing towards killing being corey's method of control rather than some more direct desire to kill.
he becomes "addicted" to violence and he knows it (pg. 191).
"addicted" is a super interesting word choice and i feel like it fits perfectly. corey starts with revenge, he has his reasons, but as time goes on he could find a reason for anyone if he wanted to.
if corey survived ends and got away, he'd be living his own life for the first time ever. i think there are a lot of things he'd over indulge in, and killing being an addiction plays heavily into that -- there would be nothing to tell him to stop.
high priest!corey
rohan specifically describes corey leading doug to the sewer as him bring michael a "sacrifice" (pg. 206).
vindication !! @/slutforstabbings once said to me, while we were talking about the ritualistic nature of corey and michael's relationship and killings, that corey replaces nelson as michael's high priest, as the person who brings the sacrifices and channels michael to the outside world.
manipulation
rohan says that corey "plays" at being the shaking little boy again when he jump scares laurie while waiting outside for allyson (pg. 204).
i love this, because i fully believe corey thrives on manipulation. i think corey is fundamentally a good person anyway, but in dealing with joan he knows how to make himself inoffensive and agreeable, and i think he knows that that "character" is a safe bet to keep people happy.
and the novelisation confirms that this almost works !! laurie thinks he's just awkward and still upset from the night before. the thing that makes laurie doubt how genuine he is, is that she can see how he changes -- she can see the way he switches from one demeanour to another. proof right that he can play at being who he needs to be in the moment.
but then, by the time laurie shoots him, corey really is just a scared little boy who is in way over his head and unequipped for the situation he finds himself in (pg. 226).
corey is unprepared and unpractised -- he doesn't have the experience that michael has in bouncing back. he isn't michael. he's fucked up big time, his plan has fallen through, and he's backed himself into a corner. all the terrible things he's done, everything he's been through, the taste of control -- it's all for nothing is laurie can get the upper hand on him like this.
he's scared and out of his depth but he's dangerous, but corey ends the film the same way he starts it, in a situation he has no control over and with only himself to blame. only this time he's having the last word, he's going to do what he could before and he's going to take laurie down with him.
relationships
rohan said ronald is "the loveliest thing" in corey's life, and that the gesture of giving the motorbike is "beautiful [but] manly and detached" (pg. 182), which is a way more sympathetic view than i have.
this is a wayyy more sympathetic view of their relationship than i have. i do like this angle though, the idea that corey and ronald did have some sort of relationship but that neither of them can express it very well, that they're taking the stereotypically masculine route of small gestures and not a lot of words. which seems at odds with what corey really needed from the only male role model in his life, but it's kinda sweet that corey must like ronald enough for him to be a good part of his life, rather than just neutral.
maybe the takes about ronald being a good stepdad aren't wrong 👀
corey falls for allyson most deeply when he sees how she is on the edge just as much as he is (pg. 215).
this made me wonder if allyson and corey could have ever been together without the events of the movies? if they still met by chance, would they get along? would the attraction still be there?
their relationship is based on parasocial affection and shared similar traumas, there's a certain emotional intensity there that translates to them making rash decisions and commitments that i don't think they would otherwise.
joan's last words (in an even more extended death scene) are begging "michael" not to hurt corey (pg. 222).
joanne baron has talked about joan's motivations and perspective in some interviews, so this scenes lines up very well with what she's said previously. joan has never treated corey like a person, he's an object for her to control, but her two moments of concern for him (when he comes home the morning after the party and her death scene) come from a seemingly natural and genuine place.
also, the biggest factor that made me loose my mind over this: she doesn't know it's corey killing her. she begs this masked murderer not to kill her son, not know that it is her son beneath the mask 💀
she's begging someone not to hurt corey after years of being the one who has hurt corey. it's too late to turn back, it was always going to end like this, but can you imagine what went through corey's mind in that moment? that his momma wanted him to be safe but never made him feel safe when she had the chance.
me whenever there is a direct quote from rohan in this book:
#corey cunningham#h40#halloween ends#halloween movies#lets not count how many times my evidence consists of ''well rohan said'' 🤡 i have no backbone#he could tell me chuck e cheese had been appointed director of the fbi and i'd eat it up no questions asked#corey reminds me of girl inter/rupted when susanna talks about how killing herself became her go to solution --#-- for any inconvenience. which makes the concept itself less serious and more easily doable#i dont think corey would do it even if he thinks about it but i think he liked having the thought there --#-- that if he really had to then he has an emergency exit plan#also something i didnt include but need to put out there. it mentions that the motorbike ron gives corey is ?? corey's dads ??#i feel like there might have been some miscommunication on that fact ?? or its true --#-- and therefore the most important detail for lore/character/plot in this whole goddamn franchise

I wonder how Unohana sometimes feel in the Gotei 13, because she's simultaneously one of the oldest (and hence senior, by age and thus by rank in default) and only women in a highly hierarchical and military organisation. She probably gets talked down to and disrespected a lot - especially given that she doesn't seem to be the type to openly advertise the fact that she was there at the beginning.
Like, Kyoraku and Ukitake knows about her past so it's likely that this was something that was known by people before she adopts her current demure demeanor. Also the fact that she seems to scare the everliving shit out of some people by her aura alone. But what if there were some idiots who weren't wise enough to keep out of her hair? And some people who looked down on her regardless?
Unohana would probably have made recovery for them as excruciating as fucking possible but still, thinking about this.
#I'm discussing this because I was in a production over the weekend and I was literally the only QPOC in the room#I was also the most senior ranking member of crew after the directors and producers#And yet I still feel talked down to by the other white men in the team#I don't know this just made thoughts™ emerge from my head because it doesn't seem discrimination would've been non-existent#They just likely didn't show it because it wasn't relevant#But kenpachi and the 11th has a clear disdain for the 4th so there is definitely drama in the Gotei 13#Unohana Retsu#Unohana Yachiru#Bleach#Bleach meta#I'm posting a lot of Unohana content recently and it's quite strange because I've never really been that interested in her as a character#Lmao#But I'm loving it so far!!

I can’t believe I forgot to post these here, but... yeah! Long story short, I have until the end of the month to find a new place to live and I don’t have a consistent income right now (though I’m working on it). So, any and all help would be appreciated!
Tbh, I’m likely to respond quicker on Twitter or via Email, since I don’t really check Tumblr that often. But you are still welcome to message me here if you prefer. Thank you all so much and I hope you’ll consider helping me!

I continue to be. So Fucking Tired Of People
#today it's about multiple things#- customers who don't understand that custom-made products cannot materialize instantly into their hands#- managers who don't understand that#''i can stay late to help with your personal emergency''#does not mean#''get us both in trouble by keeping me overtime for shit that neither of us are responsible for and isn't due for over a week''#- american culture in general that has to have menial things Right Now but anything important is put off until people start dying#- and i love coming home from all of this to find more fucking witch-hunting on my dashboard#because when it's bigoted scenes in marvel movies and nintendo games we can apparently just go ''oh that was bad'' and shrug it off#but as soon as it's indie it's murder by association. as if every fan was on the board of directors and knows the artist personally#god forbid i finish the game i bought before i discovered the dev sucks#i love fucking lupin iii blogs preaching to me. like. buddy. you've got nazi apologists#fish babblings

The behavior that I'm hearing about from the public about local services actually trying to stop people from helping those stranded, reminds me an awful lot of the Uvalde shooting. Parents were threatened and physically restrained by officers, when they tried to go help their children. I don't think I'm the first person to wonder if those officers were ordered to NOT help those children. I often think about the man whose wife was a teacher, killed in that attack. He has a heart attack soon after. The poor man literally died of a broken heart, over losing her.
