Escape from Pretoria by Tim Jenkin
a true account of a prison breakout in apartheid South Africa.
Tumblr media
This book was made as a gift for my sister, who contacted me one day out of the blue saying "I literally cannot find this book to buy it anywhere." So I decided to help out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The things i liked best about this book are the endbands I sewed, the crepaldi marbled endpapers, and the way it opens so nicely!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I tried a new technique on the cover of this book, which has not turned out quite as well as hoped. This is the silver metallic gilding between the different colored bookcloth. I applied this using and adapted Japanese gilding technique, which is...not really meant for this but I gave it my best shot.
Overall, I'm still pretty happy with this one! Can't wait for my sister's response.

I'm so inspired by this movie I just watched, how could I go to sleep now?
Humans are such creative beings with immense capabilities and adaptability. All the frustrations I felt now feel so manageable. I'm free and I have all the right choices inside of reach.
I'm free and I have all these opportunities in front of me.
I'm free and I can choose what will happen next.
I'm free.

Escape from Pretoria (2020)
My rating:6/10
Pretty solid prison escape movie, with much planning and making of Devices and sneaking around, plus the guards are actual fascists, so that makes the eventual escape (and subsequent humiliation of said guards) all the sweeter.

#64 Escapar de Pretoria
En 1979, Tim Jenkin (Daniel Radcliffe) y Stephen Lee (Daniel Webber) son dos afiliados al Congreso Nacional Africano, que llevan a cabo misiones contra el apartheid, siendo detenidos, juzgados y condenados a doce y ocho años por "traicionar a su raza".
¿Qué fue el apartheid?
Fue el sistema de segregación racial en Sudáfrica y Namibia​ en vigor entre 1948 y 1992. Donde la opresión racial era apoyada por el gobierno sudafricano, mediante el cual los blancos, que constituían menos de la quinta parte de la población, controlaban la política y la economía del país, limitando rigurosamente los derechos políticos y socioeconómicos de los africanos.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dentro de la cárcel conocen a Leonard Fontaine (Mark Leonard Winter), también preso político por ir en contra del apartheid, que formarán parte de su equipo para preparar la fuga de Pretoria.
Para fugarse preparan una llave de madera, en los talleres de la cárcel que es una copia exacta de la que llevan los guardias; hacen un esquema en papel y después la moldean, pegan y lijan en madera hasta conseguir una llave que abra, tanto las puertas de las celdas, como las puertas intermedias de los pasillos.
Tumblr media
Así consiguen llegar a la primera parte del pasillo y abrir la siguiente puerta, donde casi les descubren y se tienen que ir escondiendo en los diferentes armarios de los pasillos. Consiguen avanzar y cuando llega el día los vemos en sus celdas, por lo que comprobamos que se trata de la prueba de fuego previa a la fuga real.
Esto implica que hay una revisión de las celdas y se llevan a Fontaine cuando reclama que no le quiten las fotografías de su hijo, y en el registro del capitán de la celda de Jenkin descubren las pruebas previas a la llave de madera, justificándolo en que son peanas para las fotografías.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fueron escondiendo en estanterías, huecos en la pared, botes vacíos de detergente en polvo, fueron haciendo las pruebas por la noche y cuando llegaban a una sección nueva hacían un nuevo modelo de llave para el siguiente tramo, llegando a estar 405 días encerrados. En ese tiempo han creado 39 llaves para 15 puertas de la cárcel.
Descubren que una de las últimas puertas es eléctrica y que han empezado obras en la cárcel para poder fortificarla, y poner una torre con ametralladoras.
El resto de reclusos encerrados por las mismas razones no están de acuerdo con la fuga, porque tienen miedo, a que los encarcelen más años.
Tumblr media
La fuga, como cualquier fuga, tiene sus peligros: de que algo falle, de que les pillen, de quedarse encerrados o a mitad... Cuando llegan a la última puerta y no pueden cruzarla, deciden que se acabó el modo sigilo y que van a reventar la puerta. Al salir se encuentran con que ya hay alguien apostado con la ametralladora en la torreta. Consiguen sortearlo y salen a la calle con la ropa cambiada de civiles.
Se suben en un taxi a la vez que entran en sus celdas para descubrir que ya no están en ellas, lloran de emoción cuanto más lejos están de la prisión y mediante un texto nos explican qué ocurrió después:
"Se produjo la mayor búsqueda humana en la historia de Sudáfrica, mientras los protagonistas cruzaron la frontera con Mozambique, Tanzania y llegaron a Londres, donde volvieron a unirse al Congreso Nacional Africano y continuaron su lucha contra el apartheid. Se les consideró fugitivos hasta que se les indultó en 1991..."

Prompt #9: Outsider
Characters: Arazul De'fleur, Gabriel Devrau, mentions of Cecilia De'Fleur.
Synopsis: Gabriel is shocked by new revelations about his long time rival.
Setting: Gyr Abania, Porta Praetoria
Warning - Language, blood, gore, death, dark and suggestive themes.
-----------------------
-Help me if you can It's just that this, this is not the way I'm wired-
The earlier memory continued to replay itself in Gabriel’s mind eye like he might be able to glean extra information, or had he overlooked something? He had been different – but he knew it had to be him. A well-dressed gentleman with a purpose elegance to his steps, heading out of the gates of Ala Mhigan quarters. He pocketed something – A bottle that looked to contain a milk white liquid within it, several of them in fact. The sniper rushed further ahead to get a better look and ensure his eyes were not deceiving him with desperate panted breaths escaping in heavy gasps. Yet, the sight that greeted him stopped him in his tracks.
Gabriel had seen the now white-haired doctor pause to turn his head, the uncovered eye looking straight at him even at such a distance with such a fiendish grin occupying his features that caught him off guard. A smile was rare for Arazul unless in the company of those he found agreeable, even then it depended on his mood at the time.
Not one to dwell, Gabriel’s metal hand tightened about the long length of the barrel of the rifle he carried to displace the bad feeling welling up in his chest that told him something was amiss. The pause only lasted moments before he went back to sprinting after him with the heavy imprint of his boots leaving tracks in the reddish-brown dusty sands below.
Once he neared Porta Pretoria, Gabriel growled deeply and mustered all the strength he could to run faster whenever he heard the noisy pop in the distance in a small explosion that took place causing debris to scatter in all directions. The fumes and flames were all mitigated beyond the walls of the checkpoint past a few crates and barrels still smoking from the blast. Soon, the blonde wildwood began to feel the hot splatter like raindrops against his features.
A sudden shock gripped him when his pale eyes widened, reaching to press lifelike silver fingertips to his forehead to come away to reveal the droplets of blood – Blood raining down. Once the site of the explosion was in view, Gabriel’s walking slowed while he lifted his rifle with care with his brows furrowed in concentration when the dust began to clear away. There he noticed Arazul standing there from a distance, appearing down at the carnage below. He dropped empty glass bottles that lay broken at his feet- the heavy scent of milk root lingering in the air.
The ground lay in a messy mix of red misshapen clumps with trails of blood beginning to pool out beneath them, the broken remains of limbs and gore that was strewn about with bits of burning white cloth, like a researcher’s robes. Gabriel could at least make out the head of one middle aged man who had been balding before his sudden death – the one detail that brought his attention was the small pearlescent dot on his forehead, a third eye. There were bits of metallic pieces that lay there as well – Further up nearby the path down, he could see there was a single land mine that had not gone off yet. It appeared he had given them the medicine and left them to their own device.
Gabriel stood up to his full height with an expression of pure shock to look at the sight of absolute carnage and to Arazul – Everything he knew of the man far beyond what he had known. Even his usually immaculate clothing lay dotted with dirt and blood that bespeckled him, “What the absolute fuck?! I mean by the love of Thaliak’s beautiful arse – I know we have never seen eye to eye, but if you were so troubled, you know even I would have given you ample time to listen to your thoughts...”
“Thoughts, Gabriel? Imagine me coming to you to ask to speak of my thoughts like we were ever so close – You would have only laughed. It does not matter anymore anyway. There are many things that cannot be forgotten only by speaking of them. Too painful even to speak of.”
Lifting his gun up and away a little, Gabriel paused to consider all this – all which would be true he had to admit. He shook his head, waving away the image before him with a look of sorrow in his depths of all too knowing, “You know what? You’re right. Have always been right about me. But damn, you had it all going for you...and for what? I have no right at all to judge you..but what would Cecilia think?”
With his pale eye narrowing dangerously, Arazul said nothing when he advanced forward towards him in such a close proximity that only Gabriel’s sheer determination not to show he was at all intimidated by the taller man. With a smirk lifting at his features, the doctor’s gloved hand wrapped thin fingers around the barrel of his gun with such a slow and meaningful stroke downward that felt far too intimate with the way his fingertips dragged.
The blonde took the breathe he hadn’t realized he was holding to watch those fingers curl around in a threatening hold around the barrel, “And you...you could have had it all going for you. Why did you not kill me back then, Gabriel…The title and everything could have been yours. Or maybe you see as I see now. There is much more beyond riches, titles, or duty. The artistry of life…I have given these men not the medicine they needed, but the medicine they deserved.”
With one last lingering look of eyes that had seen far too much, Arazul released his hold on the rifle without another word and began to make off elsewhere – To where he knew not. On his back, there lay a heavy length of a dark steel blade emboldened with bright red runes he had never seen him carry before. A dark knight’s weapon of choice.
Lowering his gun, Gabriel cursed and ran a hand back through his short blonde locks in frustration and a complicated mix of emotions tainting his pale eyes, “You’re still an arsehole, you know! At least that’s not changed…”
-Help me understand why You've given in to all these Reckless dark desires-

Hello! For the WIP game, I’m very intrigued by….. well, all the titles, really. But to keep things simple: TAG Mundus Occidit Fratrum Meum and TAG Rarepair
MOFM was already asked about here so I won't repeat myself beyond a warning that it's probably the darkest thing I've ever seriously started to write so watch out for potentially triggering stuff over there.
TAG Rarepair is exactly what it says on the tin. This doc is more notes than actual written snippets of story so far, but I'll talk a little bit about the history of how this came to be, and see where we go from there.
People who were around when I was most active in the TAG fandom will know that I dislike Kayo and I can't stand the Scayo ship at all - which ended up reaching a rather surprising conclusion. I used to write a lot from prompt lists (and I wish I still had the free time to keep writing like that because it was fun and I still have so many yet-unanswered in my inbox), and there was one list in particular that I remember eyeing some of the options in fear - because this was before I'd really made my stance on Scayo, in particular, clear, and one of the potential prompts on the list was very obviously romantic, and I was worried someone would request it with Scott and Kayo.
I worried so much about this, in fact, that I twisted the prompt round and round and round in my head until I realised that if this scenario did occure (it did not, luckily no-one has ever asked me to write Scayo and at this point I will be very surprised if anyone ever does - please don't) I had a crafty little escape plan in place. Namely, I would pair Kayo up with some other character and twist the prompt so that she and Scott are talking about her other half. Obviously, I never needed this escape route, but it was certainly a relief when I found it.
As for who I paired Kayo up with... another Scott ship I hate is Scott/Marion (actually, I'll be honest, there isn't really a Scott ship I like at all, barring Penelope under certain circumstances). Kayo and Marion, meanwhile, seem like the sort of partnership where no-one around them will ever be safe but they'll have the time of their lives, and after a while my random little crackship made as a get out of jail free card started growing on me, so I started wondering if I could actually make a story out of their relationship. Will I ever actually write this? Unlikely, but it ended up being fun to think about.
There's a very small snippet of something written for this, though, at the end of the note-filled doc, so have a couple of paragraphs:
“Kayo,” Scott said, a little wearily, although she could only tell because she’d known him for so long, “this is Lieutenant Marion van Arkle, the GDF’s expert on nuclear power.”  He gestured towards the short woman in her radiation-rated GDF uniform.  “Lieutenant, this is Kayo Kyrano.” Kayo knew all about Marion van Arkle, of course.  She’d never met the woman in person before now, but she’d dug into everything she could find out about her since the uranium mine fiasco not far from Pretoria – just one of many ‘rescues’ that could have been avoided if it wasn’t for her uncle’s greedy plots – where she’d almost killed Scott. Scott had seemed to be content to let bygones be bygones, even going so far as to get the woman a job – not that Kayo could really disapprove of that; if the nuclear expert was under the GDF’s control, she wasn’t being a potential wildcard, and uranium expertise was a dangerous wildcard – but Scott was a hypocrite like that.  If it had been any of the rest of them bashed unconscious, trapped under a mech suit, and almost radiation-poisoned to death, Scott would have been the first person in line with the threats. Just look at his strained relationship with the Mechanic. In the absence of Scott’s ire, Kayo had stepped up instead.  The woman was still dangerous – while not the threat in Scott’s second encounter with her at Shackleton, her hypocritical nature towards Fuse’s right to be saved hadn’t escaped any of them. Not even Scott, and Kayo knew that was the reason behind his slight weariness in his voice. Now wasn’t strictly speaking the time to assess the woman in person, to match the live thing with the reams of data and holographic images Kayo had amassed of her throughout her life – from a young girl playing in crosscut tunnels to the lieutenant standing before her now – but Kayo’s job was to gather as much information on potential threats as she could. Marion van Arkle was certainly a potential threat.

Ruff Majik Reveal “Cement Brain” from Upcoming Smasher ‘Electrik Ram’
~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~
By Billy Goate
Tumblr media
If you're craving a deep-seated, authentically felt vibe, look no further than RUFF MAJIK. Not only are they gritty and soulful, the band's sound seems rooted in the earth itself. Their bluesy, sludgy musical contortions flow from album-to-album with great inventiveness, and 'Electrik Ram' (2023) is no exception. Here the band is continually surprising us with a clever turn of phrase here, an experimental choice of instrumentation there, a heart-stirring chorus elsewhere.
The latest single to emerge is a cosmic blues stomper, "Cement Brain." Says the band:
As with previous single "Elektrik Ram" (and album title track), "Cement Brain" was once again inspired by and written in a mental health facility. Vocalist Johni Holiday had gone in for treatment of severe agoraphobia and a crippling panic disorder, which he self-medicated with alcohol and many other substances. In the window of time that he became well and had a clear head, he penned this number as a plea to his friends and family to never let him slip back into his old ways again.
"On the surface, it's about escaping an abusive relationship," explains Johni on the message behind the track. "But deep down, the relationship in question is my relationship with substances such as alcohol The song pleads with the listener to not let me go back."
You can get the single on multiple platforms, with the full album release of Electrik Ram coming on April 28th to Mongrel Records (pre-order here).
Give ear...
LISTEN: Ruff Majik - "Cement Brain"
SOME BUZZ
Elektrik Ram was written and recorded between 2020 and 2022 after Johni Holiday found himself in and out of mental health and recovery facilities, struggling with severe agoraphobia and substance dependence brought on by PTSD.
In the lyrics and structures of the songs, Johni painted character sketches of the many faces he saw inside the white walls of the hospital - and this became the framework for the entire album. The recordings happened as the band found time to go into the studio and contribute, and the process aided Johni in his recovery and rejoining of society.
It sees the return of Ruff Majik's experimental nature, moving between fuzz filled wonderlands and somber acoustic territories.
Elektrik Ram by Ruff Majik
The horned infant known as Ruff Majik emerged from the primordial ooze when the band moved from the historical town of Lydenburg in 2012 to the capital city of Pretoria, where they honed their craft for a few years before finally entering the studio to record for the first time. Now, with a number of EP’s and two lauded albums under their belt, not to mention a megaton of local and international touring, they return with what might be their defining work in the shape of ‘Elektrik Ram’.
All the requisite ‘Majik trope boxes are ticked in thick, bold permanent marker - sludgy, distorted riffs, vast landscapes of sonic abandon, dark imagery that perfectly complements the delicious cacophony, and tasty sound bites that add infinite swathes of colour. This is what is expected from the band, their signature sound and one that never fails. But there’s a lot more going on here that shows an evolution of a band maturing and embracing their future with an eye firmly planted on the past.
The B-grade drive-in double-feature aesthetic is still where they are most comfortable, with a Cramps-like wallow in songs like the single, ‘She’s Still A Goth’. The song may start out with a White Zombie kick up the ass, but it lands up in a darker Ennio Morricone-meets-Type O Negative epic that comes straight out of left field. It’s both refreshing and brave, retro, and modern, badass and kickass.
Tumblr media
Elsewhere, there are true nods to goth royalty in the likes of ‘Mourning Wood’, blues-worthy jams such as ‘Queen Of The Gorgons’, quirky dirges, and low-slung boogie with ‘Cement Brain’, and the hauntingly acoustic ‘Chemically Humanized’ that swings from Nick Drake to all-out rock ‘n roll stadium rock in scant minutes, and that’s all just the tip of the proverbial distorted iceberg. ‘Elektrik Ram’ is a thought-out, meticulously crafted piece of work that, like the legendary classics from the golden era, works as a collected grouping of songs. Each brings a different shade and hue to the portrait, a necessary lift and drop that takes the listener on a goosebump journey through a psychedelic wonderland, and it just flat-out GROOVES.
Ruff Majik is Johni Holiday (vocals & guitar), Cowboy Bez (guitar & vocals), Jimmy Glass (bass), and Steven Bosman (drums), four horsemen of the feedback apocalypse who know what they want to say and do it without apology.

King's Row  Theta's apartment.
Brad was sitting on the couch, Theta on his lap as they watched TV. "Ya know babe... I've been wondering something." He says.
Theta looked back at him. "What is that?"
"Well I work in construction, so seen some of the Preat clockwork before... But they are all cold and hard, but you." He cups her breasts. "Are soft and warm... Why is that?"
Theta sighed and paused their show with a click of the remote. "Well, we must go back to Pretoria, well, the version of Praetoria this unit came from. So over twelve years in your past, this units home was running into a problem, Praetoria is only a hand full of islands, unable to support a large, growing population, so they needed to control that."
"The first plan was to drug the water with sterilisation agents, but the rich did not like that, there was no way to discriminate between rich and poor.... Then this units creator, Steven Berry, preator of science had an idea, using a flesh like alloy he most likely stole from preator Raymon Keys, he created the home companion delux, clock work that where antomatically correct."
Brad blinked. "He made sex bots?"
She nodded. "To put it bluntly, yes... For a while they worked, there was a decline in the birth rates, it looked like Marcus Cole had his answer for controlling the size of the population..... But then the resistance started to spread rumours, the the delux companion was filled with spy wear. Turns out that while they had no problem with Seeres reading their minds on the street, they did not enjoy the thought their private times where being recorded."
"So people started destroying their companions, trashing them, stripping them of what little dignity they had, Berry released a press statement saying there was no spy wear... But the damage had been done.... So Berry stripped the delux models of their softer shells, ripped out most of their AI and repurposed them as street sweepers or construction units."
Brad hugged her tight. "That's horrid.... How did you escape that?"
"Oh, this unit was never a delux home companion, in an attempt to recount the financial losses of the Home Companion delux, he tried to reinvent them, this unit is one example, a doctor with a soft, warm hand to comfort the sick..... But Steven had undiagnosed Attention Deficit Hyper Disorder, so half way through this units construction, he added flame throwers because he thought, and this unit quotes. "They where cool."."
Brad gently rocks her. "Shit, your whole race wiped out because of a rumour... That is fucked up... Are you okay?"
Theta sighed. "It is sad to think about yes.... But this unit can not do anything about it, time travel involving Praetoria is very dangerous... So this unit best leave it in the past." She rubs his thigh. "But any way, back to our show, this unit wants to see what Viktor will do next."

~application of shiny bits~
I mentioned about Escape from Pretoria that I attempted a new technique, and here is a video. I bastardized a Japanese gilding technique (sunagao) that uses animal glue only (no heat or pressure) to try and create these stripes. it's not really meant for getting regular coverage like this though, so my result was perhaps not what I had hoped, but I think it still looks all right.
