i love star trek bc it's actually a high school theater production most of the time. We focus a lot on the over-acting, theatricality of the actors and the directors, and that's all well and amazing, but /I/ want to focus on the /TECH/ bc ASHAijnjsdnbhgaARREghghhuuagjkshdmhbAHJBSSHJHIEJBnkjsdjhbsdhjBmahbsjshsbHkjnswkjshsn yea.

FIRST THE SETS?!? they're so silly and stupid? i know they get a lot of shit but the amount of work (not to mention styrofoam) that went into building individual sets for each planet they went to? like sure about 50% of the away missions take place in the california desert (the arena, *cough cough*, etc) but the rest of them have individually made sets that look PRETTY GOOD MAN. they get the point across, they're FUN, and innovative, and they really don't reuse planet sets all that often as well.

PLUS they used traditionally /theatrical/ cycloramas with painted backgrounds and classical cyc lighting (reminiscent of mariano fortuny's domed cyc! i WILL talk more about lighting) which look really cool and once again get shit for being unrealistic.

it's not supposed to look realistic it's supposed to look cool as shit. and it does. shut up. <3

if you view the sets as being modern TV sets then yeah, they're weird, and they look sorta bad, but THEYRE NOT modern TV sets: they're THEATRICAL SETS FROM THE 60-70S. AND I LOVE THEM.

SECONDLY, THE

lighting

while it's true that some shows in the 60s were developing new lighting styles specifically for TV, remember that in the year 1950 less that 10 percent of US homes had a television. this shit was new. COLOR tv was ESPECIALLY new. nobody knew how to light these things! and actually why would you need a new lighting style, we already KNEW how to light dramatic productions, why would we ever need to reinvent the wheel Stanley Mccandles, Mariano Fortuny, and Gene Rosenthall already invented says Gene Roddenberry and Jerry Finnerman (the head lighting designer). and oh my god i am so ridiculously glad. because the lighting. is so good.

i HAVE seen others talking about how good it is in the super early episodes (Charlie X and the conscious of the King, etc.) and i do agree! but i disagree that the quality goes down. i think it just got a tad bit more subtle as the show went on and it gets less in your face, harder to notice. but i noticed. because I'M the WORST (and also a lighting tech)

the impossibility of listing every example of amazing theater lighting choice they made is absolutely horrific and nasty so i'll just lost some my my favorites:

the cyc! i mentioned before but the cyc they used on away missions was only painted when they needed a specific scene in the background, otherwise? that bitch was LIT. and i LOVE IT.

any of the scenes where they light spock's face have green and half pink? or even just washing the walls behind him? i eat that shit UP. the METAPHOR. the CONFLICT. i will acquiesce that green and pink are (and were) pretty goddamn industry standard gels (color-films) to add to lights, for subtle contrast, but this is not subtle. it is LOUD. was it purposefully done from a storytelling perspective? no idea. is it cool as shit and interpret-able as hell? absolutely. also sometimes they do it with just green when they want to emphasize his vulcan-ness and other him a bit. like they do it a lot when he's in his room in amok time. anyway.

whenever they shutter a light so they can emphasize a character's (kirk, we're talking abt kirk here. and *sometimes* spock, and also Charlie in Charlie X but yeah mostly kirk) eyes when they say something #Deep, or just pre-commercial break closure worthy line. it's so SHJSDJBFEJNKN. to add onto this, they'll do a striking half-wash over half of their face sometimes in conjunction and it looks So Good

The GOBOS. sometimes, they'll just throw light through a gobo, or wall screen, or something, for /visual interest/ and it looks so silly i love it sm. does it make sense from a realism pov? nO. but star trek is a theater production actually and they lit everything using mainly naturalistic techniques! amazing!

honorable mentions: the glowing time donut, and the entirely random colors in the hallway.

there are so many other examples but this post is long enough lmao. notice the lights next time you watch tos!!,! please!!! <3

Mordor says He returned only for Visa reasons. They did some math and understood that Sam had been there for almost 90 days, só It was time for a quick walk home.

Dear Visa Anon,

Which Mordor luminary came with this idea? The MENSA-level CRT Clique or Miss Marple, who thinks I know nothing (the Dimwit from Madrid is still learning how to spell, so I can't believe it's her)?

Regardless. These people should immediately stop watching Ninety-Day Fiancé on their cable network, following a severe overdose on Uzbek midgets and Egyptian gigolos 'looking for true love' stories.

Maybe they could also have checked their facts before solemnly stating bullshit, since they clearly think all the visitors to the wonderful U S of A are tourists and as such, entitled to a maximum 90-day stay at a time (and then a short hike to Tijuana or Canada and back on tracks: not EDI/GLA, FFS!).

Incidentally, may I remind these geniuses that S has been spotted only near EDI, which of course would mean for them he'd be getting his visa there. Unless...

Unless you know the US General Consulate in EDI does not issue any type of visas - LOL, idiots. And unless he'd need to be in LHR for the pre-appointed interview and then another 7 working days delay for processing and 1-3 working days for passport delivery by mail only (never in person, chickadees). Doesn't really click with timelines, Madam Expert.

Because they are all very intelligent, they also forgot everything about/never bothered to look for the new-ish ESTA system (https://www.handyvisas.com/esta-us-visa/british/), especially designed for Visa Waiver countries' citizens. So I insist: if traveling as a tourist, S does not need a visa to enter the US for up to 90 days - that is correct, but by no means applicable to S's reality. And if he knew he'd need to stay more than 90 days, he would have applied for a visa - mandatory - in London before the Summer of Sassenach tour.

But he is not traveling as a tourist and very probably not under another type of non-immigrant visa, simply because he has businesses there and he is also involved in the OL project with *** (d'oh!).

Let's unpack:

As per US current regulations, S cannot apply for a B-1 (business non immigrant visa). To understand why, kindly refer to the US Customs and Border Protection FAQ (https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/B-1%20permissible%20activities.pdf). I already munched it up for you:

He could only apply for a O-1 B immigration visa, for which his agent or employer should mandatorily petition the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. These are special visas designed for the individual who (...) has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements. This is very subjective and a contract with * should be enough - I was in a taxi when I received your ask and immediately checked with a friend from the US Consulate, to indulge you. And all this hassle just because a Tumblr Nobody has flatulent opinions, huh?

According to the USCIS's own regulations, not Dutch fantasy or Belfast sagas, the authorized period of stay and possibility of extension are as follows (https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/o-1-visa-individuals-with-extraordinary-ability-or-achievement):

The good thing about getting this visa (and I think * sorted it out a long time ago for both of them) is that it helps tremendously with the Green Card procedures, something I bet the farm both S & C already have, by now.

So doing the maths was perfectly inane and useless.

Does that answer your question, clever Anon? Can I go back to the Quaich post I must finish (it will be VERY long, beware) today?

Thanks for asking and I am sorry for the length: this fandom being paranoid, I had to include all the tedious details. I hope we can put this idiocy to rest, now. Parochial twits.

Workbuilding Fundamentalist question: when it comes to dates, times and calendars in a fantasy setting where do you stand? I'm always conflicted as a writer just because changing the length of a year or what all the months are called all makes sense given that most fantasy worlds aren't earth and because every month is named after a person or deity and our calendar has been changed like 7 times in the real world. And yet I don't want to throw all this extra work at the reader.

Example I have a gas dwarf planet with like, winderwaker islands poking out above the gaseous ocean what people live on. And there's only 4 months in a year there so a 64 year old is still a teenager and it just seems like a lot to make someone keep track of.

First of all, very cool setting, I love islands among the clouds! Now, this is actually something I've given a lot of thought into, and might become a real concern if humanity goes to other planets.

There's, for example, an opening line of a Heinlein novel (IIRC) where a girl says she's 10 years old and thus old enough to marry, which is true, on Mars (the year is 687 days there). There is no reason, if one is designing a new planet, or even finding one IRL, to expect it to have the same day and year lenght to Earth, not even close. Mars with 21 hours is pretty close, but the length of our year and day is really just a cosmic coincidence. You could easily have an reasonably earth-like planet with shorter years (because it's closer to its star, or just revolves faster), or longer days or years.

However, very few fictional settings bother with this, and it's not hard to see why, you can have all sorts of exotic additions to your setting, but to wrap our head through different lenghts of the year or the day is a bit too much. Even different week lenghts, which did exist on history, sound strange. There are all sorts of different fantasy and sci-fi calendars, but at the root, most authors operate with "Earth-time". I don't blame them, it is 'extra work' for some readers, and it's not easy to wrap our head around, it's easier to say "this is sort of an alternate Earth" and be done with it. Also, to lenghten or shortern the year or day might bring all sorts of consequences from ecology to climate that should be considered, otherwise it's just a lame gimmick in my opinion.

HOWEVER, it's still an interesting piece of worldbuilding to consider!

Calendars of a sort have existed since humans started to count seasons and days, but our current society where there are calendars and clocks everywhere is quite recent, actually. I'm sure you are aware of the different calendars besides the BCE-CE one was imposed as the standard, many cultures . But there are also different ways of counting years;. The classic one is seasons, farming societies of course need it the most but hunter-gatherers also follow and know the seasons. There is no reason at all for them to correspond to the "temperate" seasons (summer, fall, winter, spring). Dry and wet seasons, cold and summer, and other options are not only possible, but have actually been widespread on human history. I recommend reading on Wikipedia about seasons, especially the section about non-calendar based seasons.

Of course the above applies to pre-industrial civilizations where timekeeping isn't as widespread. But even in those, counting years and ages is treated differently. Birthdays, for example, don't exist in all cultures. Koreans still count age based on the Korean new year, not your birthday. Some medieval Christian celebrated on the feast of the saint they were named after (and there are lots of them) or IIRC, their baptism. And so, a culture as yours might use different ways of counting the age of a person, perhaps by more "qualitative" rituals than just counting the years (though I have a feeling they would quickly adapt to their own calendar). Much like I told you about different kinds of seasons for different climates, I imagine that in worlds where the years are too short (or too long) to really make sense for the average person, some other ways of counting time will prevail. For example, are there predictable climate cycles in your planet? Moons (lunar calendars are always fun)? I can assume your planet has shorter years because it's closer to your star (by any chance, did you base it on red-dwarf orbiting planets?), so perhaps you could use something regarding the very visible star to count time?

Like I said at the beginning, this will be a real concern when humanity expands through space, and there's even a bit of debate if the human body can adapt to such heavy changes on its circadian rhytm. In any case, my prediction is that there would be a "Earth time", that is, 24-hours day and 365 day year, that is kept as standard out of convenience and in spaceships and space habitats (in my own setting Campoestela, it's called "ship time" because human spaceships use it as standard) and lots of "local times" on different planets with all the quirks I mentioned above, with everyone going into space learning how to convert their own time to "Earth time". Or maybe, to make things even more fun and, admittedly, complicated to the reader, the time of another time is taken as a standard. There's lots to play with here.

DON'T even ask me about relativistic time (like in Interstellar) because it makes my head hurt, even if I did use it a couple times on my stories. But "ship time" might be a real thing. Some cultures might have completely different 'times', not calendars, actually *times*, depending on relativistic time delation.

BTW anon, sorry for using this to promote myself, but if anyone loved this rant and would like to see more, I would appreciate some tips on my ko-fi (given the situation down here, now more than ever) and suggestions for other topics to talk about!

yea “desertification” not a great term, obscuring the biodiversity of deserts.

related note: “desertification” term reminds me of how “tree planting” is not necessarily a great thing. (more precisely: “just plant trees” is not good advice universally in every context.)

sounds nice on the surface? but industrial-scale resource extraction companies can build monoculture tree plantations and get away with duplicitously calling it “a forest” or a “reforestation project.” like pine plantations in Chile, where single-species plantations replace extremely unique globally-rare biodiverse Valdivian temperate rainforest.

it’s kinda like seeing a bunch of nondescript greenery in the form of, like, non-native grass lawns or non-native kudzu and saying “oh, well, the landscape is green, and the plants are so thick and full of biomass, therefore it must be healthy!”

and if “desertification” is meant to imply “degraded soils” then it is a misnomer. for example, the Mojave Desert is famous for its crust lichens (”soil lichen”; “biological soil crust”).

and yea, i know that there has fortunately been more criticism applied recently to solar farm projects in California-administered Mojave Desert, since the farms can/do/might necessitate destruction of, say, Joshua trees.

“but it’s all wide-open space!” like how British imperialists/industrialists moved into Australian landscapes, took a look at “the Outback” and thought “look at all of this wasted space.” then cattle rangeland was implanted across the landmass. and dromedaries, rabbits, feral cats, etc. were not initially taken seriously as threats to land, until they threaten resource extraction profit.

ironically(?), the US land-use project and expansion in the Great Basin and Southwest had a lot to do with transforming desert and semi-arid shrubland landscapes into "wastelands” (see Traci Voyles’ writing about Navajo Country and the process of “wastelanding”).

also obscures the existence of very many unique endemic species and lineages which live nowhere else. though this is true of many planet-wide desert regions, it’s especially noticeable in the “Southwest” (including sidewinders, Gila monster, Joshua tree, saguaro, etc.). especially when there’s altitudinal zonation like in the Sky Islands, hosting arid flats, oak woodlands, high-elevation conifer, etc. such that there’s actually more ecological diversity in a few acres of parts of the Sonoran Desert region than in a lot of the rest of the continent. or how the Cuatro Cienegas oasis of the Chihuahuan Desert hosts an endemic slider turtle, endemic softshell turtle, endemic box turtle, endemic alligator lizard, and the planet’s only non-marine stromatolite bacterial communities. you also end up with some microhabitat types which, though maybe not spatially widespread or have relatively low biomass, are staggeringly unique, like fog oases of the Atacama, where moisture is extracted from fog blankets moving in from the sea.

doesn’t even begin to address the people who have lived in -- thrived in -- deserts for millennia. like pre-contact and/or Indigenous maize/corn planting techniques in the Southwest, like Zuni waffle gardens or planting of maize along slopes to take advantage of runoff. such that so many mountainsides across contemporary so-called Mexico essentially host unique varieties/lineages of maize adapted to microclimates, soil types, high-elevation habitat, etc.

is that desert soil “sterile”?

Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: T Words: 5,552 Tags: A/B/O, Snowed In, Courtship

Summary: “I can’t believe this!” Steve paused, his hand hovering over the piece of firewood. Was that—? “Of all the idiotic, selfish—“ The last of the words were cut off by the wind, but that was definitely a voice. Steve frowned. The voice was too clear to be coming from a truck or a car, which meant they must be on foot. He looked at the heavy fall of the snow. No one should be out in this. Or, Tony is an omega in distress, and Steve is just the alpha-in-shining armour he needs.

Also love the bad boy vibes Steve is giving off throughout the whole thing, it's a really cool take on his character in modern times. This fic is fantastic, and you should definitely read it!

Pairing: Steve/Tony Rating: E Words: 11,047 Tags: Canon Divergence, Palladium Poisoning, Service Top Steve

Summary: So. Tony's dying. Palladium poisoning is a shitty, painful way to go, but hey: at least it's his birthday party, right? A cool send off. Lots of alcohol and fun and girls and- ...And all Tony wants is Steve Rogers, the stupid Art Professor who used Tony for a booty call now and again and whom Tony had stupidly decided to start falling in love with. Whilst in the middle of getting slowly poisoned to death. God, he wished his life was easier.

Reasons why I love it: This fic is so sad and so beautiful at the same time. All the little signs of how much they care for each other just make my heart melt.

how is karlach coded as a person of color? genuine question

In terms of character design and representation: she has southeast Asian, even pacific islander (depending on the area ofc) features. Does that mean there are “asians” or “Europeans” in Toril? No. But visual representation of real groups is huge for people’s self validation. That said, southeast Asian peoples are a wide and varied group but they stand in contrast to the “white Asia” of Korea and Japan (and China to some extent), for example. The “white” Asia is rich, desirable, stylish, culturally relevant in the global stage - and their skin is whiter, to top it off. On the other hand, SEA is seen (not only in the west but ESPECIALLY in these rich Asian countries) as poor, underdeveloped, inconsequential - and darker skinned. No surprised there.

In Asia you might not have the concept of White as in White US Americans, because whiteness is a social construct that will change depending on the location and cultural/historical context. What US people understand as white and poc might differ from what other people in other countries understand it as. Still, in East Asia being literally lighter skinned is the desired beauty ideal and brings with it all the highly privileged misconceptions of “if you’re light skinned, you’re richer, more educated, more well behaved, more beautiful” and so on. SEA peoples have, in general, darker skin tones - therefore, they miss (to say the least) on these “advantageous pre-conceptions”. Also, even within certain SEA countries, being lighter than another is a desirable thing. There is an entire beauty industry here based on “whitening”. Literally making your skin look whiter, because that is more “beautiful and cleaner”. (In Japan, the amount of things you can get to cover your skin from the sun is not due to any cancer concerns, I guarantee you.)

Karlach, having features reminiscent to some SEA people, puts her in this dynamic. Not because this dynamic exists inside the BG3 world, but because the people with whom her character design (her face design at least) resonates are those same people who are seen as less than due to their geographic location and tone of their skin.

I also am under the impression that in some countries, Asian people are also commonly included in the “poc” umbrella, though I cannot be sure where this is true and even if that depends on “what Asia” you are from.

If you get into Forgotten Realms, and Toril lore, things get even more layered, because Karlach is a tiefling. And tieflings are discriminated against for their appearance - something that comes from their heritage and they have no control over. Tieflings are plane touched people, meaning their ascendancy is made of humans mixed with devils/cambions. Is basically because their blood has some devil blood in it that the “devil like” features like horns, tails, claws etc appear. Unlike the aasimar (who are the same but mixed with divine blood) who are accepted and seen as beautiful, the tieflings are discriminated against by most if not all populations in Toril. They are outcasts, often having to settle in marginalized/unfit areas and form their own communities due to the unwillingness of others to interact with them. There is something to be said about how the comments of “devil” towards a tiefling and some religions’ interpretation of indigenous peoples (or even black people) as being cursed or in cohorts with the devil. Aka, this shit is problematic.

You can have an insight on how bad this was in Baldur’s Gate city by a story Karlach tells. She says her mother died of an illness that would have been easily cured if treated early. But mom cliffgate was refused medical care because no physician in the city wanted to visit and help a tiefling family in the outer city. By the time one accepted to go and help, it was too late. The disease had advanced and could not be cured, and so Karlach’s mom died prematurely. I guess that illustrates very obviously the degree to which tieflings are marginalized and discriminated against in Toril. If that is not an analogy to the struggle of peoples of color in a generalized manner, I don’t know what is.

so like, we all know wrestling is fake, right? any adult who is aware of wrestling will know it's fake, especially fans

but in wrestling, this is known as a "work". a work is just, something that's fake. every part of a wrestling show is a work, because that's the point. but works are contrasted against shoots, which are genuine moments of unplanned fighting or talking. if someone slaps their opponent a little too hard because of an argument over catering backstage, that's a shoot. despite how carefully planned wrestling is, shoot moments do happen. maybe someone says fuck when it wasn't in the script, or maybe someone breaks character laughing after their opponent tells a joke. again, this is normal

but ever since kayfabe died, wrestling companies have been trying to find new ways to create uncertainty. this is how we got "worked shoots", that being preplanned events meant to see unplanned. maybe a guy says fuck when that "wasn't in the script". maybe someone starts calling out the writers. maybe they pre-plan controversies. worked shoots have been a thing since the late 90s and have fallen off in recent years because simply put, people are tired of them. it's something you can only really do in moderation, and between all the major companies, there was no moderation whatsoever

so worked shoots are still a thing but they're less common. even so, they have a long shadow in the industry. namely, some people will assume any shoot moment has to be a work, even when it's clearly not. one of the most common examples of shoots in wrestling is legit injuries, but because worked injuries are so common, you can't have a real injury without someone claiming it's a worked shoot

you also get the really funny situation of something happening in the show (for example, someone is disgusted by a heel's actions), it very clearly being a work, and yet people label it as a shoot because they want it to be true. and then labeling it as a worked shoot when they're proven wrong

Man, the more I think about future alternate history of Temeraire the more it looks like the 20th century would see a massive decline if not outright near-extinction of heavyweights dragons, at least those in Europe and maybe Russia

It's 1914, dragons in Europe have had rights for a while now, still not 1:1 to humans (not sure where women's rights would be at in Temeraire universe so maybe dragons are on par with human women) but we're getting there. They aren't seen as beasts or intelligent warships anymore. But then World War I begins and the propaganda machine is everpresent and merciless. It is every man's duty to defend his country or else he is a coward and a weakling and deserving of shame, and for dragons, whose size and strength is incomparable to humans, this applies tenfold. Not to mention the fact that dragons require lots of food from the already dwindling wartime resources. The pressure on dragons to "pull their weight" would be massive. And so most of them join the war effort, working as messengers, reconnaissance, moving cargo, or serving as soldiers in their own right, old but still capable dragons once again taking on harnesses and crews like they have 100 years ago and teaching the younger ones the tactics they still vividly remember. But this is not the 1800s anymore, technology has progressed and just like the traditional cavalry, dragons and their crews fall prey to modern artillery and machine guns. Smaller, lighter breeds manage to keep ahead of the relatively primitive technology, but the large and slow heavyweights become little more than gigantic moving targets. In this world, the term The Lost Generation rings even more true.

Meanwhile in Russia the period of chaos after the dissolution of Russian breeding grounds during the Napoleonic wars has long since passed, with sky-high costs in both human and dragon lives. By the 1830s, some of the few remaining dragons were lured back to human society with promises of steady food and treasures, and it did not take long for things to return to what they used to be. Dragons were indeed treated better now, but still far from equal, their situation more reminiscent to pre-Temeraire Britain, and there was still a strongly baked-in hierarchy of preferential treatment based on dragon size. Come 1917. The war drags on, living conditions plummet and unrest rapidly rises in the Russian Empire. Still not seeing any of the societal changes that dragons of Western Europe enjoyed, Russian dragons find much common ground with peasants, especially the small lightweight dragons, and calls for a change became louder. Humans and dragons alike united by the vision of peace, freedom, prosperity and equality for all, the Socialist Revolution sweeps through the country with the speed of a grey courier's flight. A republic is established, the tsar and his family are executed, same as thousands of other members of nobility, the wealthy, and others seen as enemies of the state. This includes many dragons who did not side with the revolution, particularly those who refused to part with their hoards. Many heavyweights saw themselves as targets, viewed as symbols of the imperial power by the people and as tyrants in their own right by smaller dragons. Then the middleweights, and even lightweights do not avoid suspicion. Talks of the inherent greed and savagery of dragons find more and more voices, people remind themselves of the brutality unleashed by freed dragons a hundred years ago. With the increasing industrialization and technological development, there are opinions that dragons have no place in a modern world, claims that "why need dragons when we can achieve just as much with machines and pure human ingenuity". Many dragons find themselves out of work and out of food, and retreat to the wilderness. Those who remain are mostly the small ones, just large enough to live similar to humans, eat as much as humans and work according to human standards.

#temeraire #his majesty's dragon #rotating this entire concept in my brain #I need more exploration of the alternate history aspect of the Temeraire series #more historical periods especially the modern times

Gonna try to Steel-man the whole “ Star-dew valley is satisfying an inherently conservative fantasy” as someone who sort of agrees but not strongly and doesn’t care particularly much

The game is fundamentally around the idea of a single person ( and eventually there spouse), managing a substantial plot of agricultural land they have private control over alone, I can’t underestimate how /unusual/ this is as a mechanism of food production, typically pre-industrial societies functioned with a large patch of agricultural land that was managed communally by the entire village, the area of which in practice probably was owned by some lord, but who wasn’t really involved , this was particularly true in rice based societies where the gains to be made via working together to terraform the landscape for irrigation were greatest, but It was the norm in say, wheat based midevil Europe as well, the Idea of a “ Family farm”, of a quaint small, but substantially large, plot of land managed and controlled and privately owned by a single family for agriculture , Is an incredibly Recent and American phenomena, one only possible do to low population densities in the areas being colonized via mass genocide of native Americans, and they’re being a-lot of “ Terra Nulius” to divvy up into chunks, The Idea of The Homestead or Family farm is very heavily tied To American Imperialism And Genocide

( Ugh tumblr deleted this part: anyway It’s not directly related but I had an aside about how this method of agriculture can’t take advantage of economies of scale and is incredibly inefficient and impractical, which is part of why it has gradually been replaced with fewer larger industrial scale farms, that can have the same economies of scale the old village-farms did( and though automation has done a-lot for some crops like corn, for others like cucumbers they are heavily reliant on mass manual labor of many migrants, so for these sort of crops we have sort of moved back to the older “ lord owns a-lot of land, many laborers work together to tend it” (except these people are generally migrants traveling between different farms and not involved in decision making of how to farm) ( I also sort of suspect if American farmers in the late 18/early 1900’s were working together over larger areas of the landscape to irrigate and manage the land, the dustbowl would have not been as bad as it was, with individual farmers trying to maximize production in an individuals tiny chunks of land with basically no control over where the water goes)

Moving on from the innate connection of Family Farms to American imperialism and genocide, we can talk about the role/fantasy of the rural homestead in American patriotism and About the romanticization of rural life in general across conservative/fascist regimes in many countries in contrast to the more multicultural/ formally-educated /liberal cities, or we can talk about conservative doomsday preppers and the myth of individual self-sufficiency, and how the privately owned family-farm plays into that,

or switching subject matters a bit, how a game centered around the farming of livestock and the buying/selling of them and their products reinforces ideas of some sentient beings as less-then/commodities/existing to serve, especially with the humane-washing of these situations as happy or mutually beneficial that erases the existence of such creatures before humans and the innate violence of their subjugation.

There are premises here that I do not agree with.

First: The idea that since America was built on genocide of Native Americans, any fantasy rooted in American culture or norms is necessarily a fantasy of indulging in genocide.

That American small farms were built on genocide of native Americans does not demonstrate that the idea of a small family farm can exist only in such a case.

Like, flip it around, would you find it convincing if I argued that any fantasy of collective land ownership "sucked" because such things can only happen in communist countries, and therefore invoked the purges of Stalin and Mao?

This attitude would seem to rule out any fantasy rooted in actually existing society as inherently right-wing on the grounds that all existing earth societies have built themselves on atrocities.

Second, Preppers are right-wing, preppers believe in self-sufficiency, therefore fantasies of self-sufficiency are inherently right-wing.

I don't buy that thinking.

Preppers presumably fantasize about having sex with attractive people or falling in love; this does not make such fantasies inherently right-wing.

I get the to me disturbing sensation that certain people believe all fantasies of power or control to be right-wing. I find that disturbing, to be honest; individual control, the ability to make certain decisions even in the face of opposition from others, is a very important thing for people. I don't trust a political philosophy which only allows collective decision-making.

guess what character i’m going to make u answer abt- that’s right! 💞persephone price💕

Ask Game

Thanks, Lily! I definitely couldn't have expected this!

My first impression Cannibal 👀 Oh? Tell me more! (And then they told me barely anything else.)

My impression now That's Lily's girl! She's sweet! I'm genuinely so surprised that more people don't talk about her? She feels like she should be a fan favorite? Sorry, I am not being the change I want to see in the world (talking about Persephone more), but I am being held hostage by the Ravinstills. She's on the long list of people I want to make a gifset for...

Favorite thing about that character I love that she hasn't let the bad things in her life (the Dark Days and potentially even noticing a bit of Coriolanus' disdain) get her down (seemingly, again, a lot of assumption we have to do with these minor characters... it's the blessing and the curse of loving them!)

Least favorite thing Uh, we don't get that much of her which is sad, especially since all we get is from the POV of someone who really is trying not to be around her or think of her that deeply. It makes me sad!

Favorite line/scene

“People love a good love song, more like,” said Persephone, showing her dimples. (Ch. 12) <- i just remember thinking that this was cute, and also... foreshadowing for the OG trilogy?

The mention of her and Festus spending more time together was also cute! Idk if it's technically a scene and more of montage/fleeting mention?

Favorite interaction that character has with another

A character that I wish that character would interact with more I wish we saw more interactions with her and Mizzen. That would have gone a long way in giving us more canon insight into her character!

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character

Deep cut from a piece of fiction that I haven't read in like a decade but Ada Vessalius from Pandora Hearts. (I remember not exactly enjoying all aspects with the execution of Ada's character in that manga but she has certain similarities with Persephone in my mind). Ada's a kind woman who grows in confidence into macabre and dark things but hides that facet of herself from others. (just including a pic because it does hint at her vibe, and also I know one will know who I'm talking about)

A headcanon about that character

Lily, I'm genuinely trying to think of a Persephone headcanon that you haven't heard from me or potentially seen in one of my fics for your benefit... I am unforunately blanking so I shall pull from an Author's Note from an OC fic.

In worlds where she and Festus get married (which is like my most canon compliant world states), they go by the Price-Creeds because their kids stand to inherit from both the Prices and Creeds. Inheritance being very big in the Capitol. The Price name goes first because I think the Prices being railroad tycoons beats out the Creeds influence on the lumber industry.

Also and idk if this is just your blog color scheme getting to me Lily, but I associate her with red, magenta, and also jewel tones.

A song that reminds of that character

Ribs by the Crane Wives. I love it being about independence and kind of accepting parts of yourself that you don't really like, also...

" The dark doesn't frighten me / I chose to close my eyes / It is mine, it is mine / The night doesn't frighten me / I chose to let it thrive / It is mine, it is mine"

Speaks to maybe a certain myopia/blindness to certain things based on the closing your eyes that kind of rings true for my version of Persephone.

An unpopular opinion about that character

Not really an unpopular opinion, just different from some interpretations and the same as others. My interpretation of Persephone didn't really interact with Festus much pre-10th HG. Like they interacted obviously in the sense that they grew up together like with the other mentors, but they aren't like in the same close friend circles. (I do love close, childhood friends Festus and Persephone though!)

Favorite picture

She's judging me... I love that for me. (coloring modified by me. i went in to screenshot this pic, because i remember it vividly... also she's wearing a watch! wonder if it's the same one she wears later. hard to tell from this angle)

#abyssal stuff #ask game #ask response #persephone price #persephoneprice #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosas #the hunger games

⋆ ׅ ، ࣪ STARCRUSH is a fictional seven member co-ed group under Melody Media. Starcrush debuted in 2019 after the formation of their pre-debut group, IN-SYNC. Below are the profiles of the current members of STARCRUSH.

𖤐 ˖ ࣪ I WANNA BE, HIGH ALL THE TIME ── wang shanyuan

Wang Shanyuan, more commonly known by his stage name, Yuan, is the leader of starcrush. Born in Hangzhou, China, it was always somewhat of a struggle for Yuan growing up. The only reason they were living in Hangzhou, was because he had other family members there, who had offered to support his family, when in need. Yuan was only fluent in Mandarin and didn’t have much knowledge about any other languages in the world which was a struggle when he moved to Korea later on in his life.

Despite his home life, Yuan was extremely popular at school, due to his likeable personality and supposedly ‘good looks’ that were said to be charming to many students. This was the opposite for his sister, Wang Liling, who was constantly bullied for being the worst ‘Wang Sibling’. Yuan chose to ignore his sister’s wishes for help, not wanting to bruise his reputation until she ended up in hospital because of a damaging incident. This was what soured the relationship between the two and caused them to grow distant, Yuan still attempting to fix the relationship from time to time with no success or progress.

March of 2017, was the last time Yuan saw China, as a few days later, he moved to Korea for undisclosed reasons. During his stay, he ended up making a few friends, without knowing much of the language. He quickly started to learn the language, in hopes of being a translator in the future when he stumbled across being an Idol as a career. Yuan had never thought about it before, but he had always excelled in music during high school and he also happened to be a good dancer. So when he heard Melody Media were holding auditions close to his home, he took the opportunity and landed a spot in the pre-debut group IN-SYNC.

IN-SYNC soon disbanded as a pre-debut group in perpetration for the confirmed group’s initial debut. After many altercations and changes to the lineup, Yuan debuted with STARCRUSH on April 12th, 2019 with the viral song ‘In My Dreams’. He is currently the group’s leader, sub vocalist & lead dancer.

𖤐 ˖ ࣪ HOPE YOU DON’T REGRET IT ── kang haesoo

Kang Haesoo, more famously known by her pseudonym, Star, was born in Changwon, South-Korea to two wealthy parents. Haesoo was an only child and was constantly given money and attention by her parents since they had no other children. This would make Haesoo seem spoiled and ungrateful to the other students that attended her middle & high school so they gave her the nickname of 'Kang Princess' to both make fun of, as well as annoy her. Haesoo attempted to ignore the constant teasing by her classmates, but it was extremely hard for her, especially when she knew what they were saying was true, she just didn't want to accept it.

When she was younger, Haesoo had already been heavily involved in child acting, her parents thrusting her into the spotlight at an early age with commercials and a few roles in tv shows and movies. This continued until she quit acting in Early 2015. She often spent time alone, being wealthy was one thing, but having zero friends was another problem. Nobody wanted to be friends with a 'spoiled rich girl' and because of this, Haesoo stayed home most days, never going out like normal teens her age would.

Spending all her time locked away in her room, studying, writing rap lyrics, or doing absolutely nothing, is what caused Haesoo to become increasingly more interested in the idol industry, and when she did, she was very eager to be apart of it. Previously, she had heard and watched many idols perform, but she didn't think about what it would be like if she was up on stage, always on camera. But when she finally did, it seemed to become a huge dream for her and she would not stop mentioning it to her parents. However, Haesoo struggled to find an entertainment that accepted her. Some offered to let her in without an audition, due to her parents wealth, but she insisted on passing with her own talents to do things without always involving money.

The last company she auditioned for, was Melody Media, and it was her last hope. If the audition didn't go well, Haesoo decided that she would just have to quit her dream and continue focusing on studying every other week. Fortunately, she passed her audition and started her life as a trainee in the middle of 2016. Shortly after, she was added to the lineup for the pre-debut group, IN-SYNC, and started training with the rest of the group until she debuted in STARCRUSH as the group's main rapper and sub vocalist.

𖤐 ˖ ࣪ WISH I DIDN’T DOUBT IT ── cho michae

Born in 2000, Cho Michae was born in Perth, Australia along with three other siblings. From a young age, it was clear Michae was going to have a career in music. She had always dreamed of playing an instrument and was exceptional at both singing and dancing. This is what led Michae to start playing the violin as well as the guitar throughout Elementary and Middle school. Nearing the start of High School, she still stuck to the violin and dropped guitar once she realized that she was struggling to keep up with both, and she had just recently joined the school’s choir. Michae then transferred to the Australian Performing Arts Grammar School, in Glebe, Australia, for better education opportunities for her to pursue a musical career.

During her High School days, she was part of a popular band named ‘DAYDRUM’ where she was the lead guitarist and occasionally featured in the vocalist role, but since she had stopped playing the guitar a while ago, it was difficult for her to learn how to play again. A few years after the band was created, Michae realized that it just wasn’t for her and officially quit, still pursuing other interests and instruments in her spare time. This was around the time where she was emailed by Melody Media after they watched her final performance together with the band when it went viral after its upload on youtube, with it being plastered on every single social media platform. This email is what pushed Michae to attempt to enter their online global auditions, in the hopes of being accepted.

In Winter of 2015, She was accepted into Melody Media and immediately placed in the trainee group IN-SYNC. Without her family’s consent, she moved to Korea, ready to start training whenever she could. Despite her place in IN-SYNC she was later sent to participate in the M-NET produced survival show, PRODUCE 101. Michae placed 14th overall in the show, which didn’t really matter to her as she was promised a debut either way. The company expressed their thoughts on Michae being a rapper, which she shot down very quickly as she had no experience in rapping, but Melody Media insisted and she then took classes to aid her in grey areas up until debut. She then debuted in STARCRUSH as the group’s main rapper & main dancer.

𖤐 ˖ ࣪ IT DOESN’T MATTER IF WE’RE NEVER RICH OR FAMOUS ── kim theo

Kim Theo’s parents had disappeared and left him at a young age, so, he had always lived with his Aunt and Uncle, along with his cousins in Leicester, England. Ever since he was five years old, Theo had always been interested in being an idol as soon as he saw 2PM & SHINee on the big screen. But, his legal guardians were not very supportive or appreciative of the idea. Theo often felt isolated inside the home and it felt as if he didn’t belong there, or as if he was intruding on them constantly. He was taken care of and cared for properly, but his Aunt & Uncle refused to let him audition for any entertainment companies, explaining that it was a waste of time and that he could be doing bigger and better things in life than just one unattainable job he had wanted since childhood.

Something else that had stopped him from pursuing this dream, was an injury he sustained when he started to play football professionally for his school. Theo had severely fractured his ankle, meaning he wasn’t able to play for a year and it halted his plans to audition for entertainment companies that same year. During his recovery period, his parents finally decided to reach out to him, which angered Theo immensely and he refused to speak to them, despite their pleads for him to come back and live with them. At this point, Theo had given up on both football and being an idol. It seemed as if neither careers were going to be attainable after his injury and it felt as if everything in his life was going completely wrong, recovery was just too much for him.

Despite all this, his parents had still not given up on convincing him to live with them and decided to take it upon themselves to check him out of the hospital and tried to convince him to go home with them, which failed and a restraining order was immediately placed against the couple. Exactly a year after Theo’s incident, he had fully recovered but had clearly given up on being an idol when he was scouted in England by Melody Media after they had decided to look for more global idols for their company image. They scouted Theo mainly based on his looks, not asking for anything else during his audition and he was accepted through to the trainee section of the company.

In 2017, Theo was added to the lineup for IN-SYNC and soon after, he debuted in STARCRUSH as the group’s lead dancer & main vocalist.

𖤐 ˖ ࣪ I DIDN’T KNOW THEY WOULDN’T MIX WITH YOUR EMOTIONS ── hwang daehyun

Hwang Daehyun, better known as Dae, had been born into a very strict and professional household with a family full of successful people who were positive Daehyun would be successful too, and he was. Daehyun had plans to become a lawyer and was constantly throwing himself into studying and education so that he wouldn’t disappoint his family. This gave Daehyun a lot of stress and he lost a lot of free time just hauled upstairs and locked away, in order for him to impress everyone he knew. Whenever his friends or other family members asked him to hang out with them, he would always have to decline to make sure he didn’t fall behind on his studies.

He kept this up until he suddenly became sick due to the lack of nutrients he wasn’t getting, and he wasn’t eating any other supplements to help this out. Instead of being worried about his condition, his parents brushed it off and told him to keep working. They claimed the reason why he fell ill was because he ‘wasn’t working hard enough’ which sent Daehyun over the edge and he decided that he had to quit, even if it meant disappointing his parents. But surprisingly, they were supportive of him, realizing that they were a little too harsh on him and that they couldn’t control everything he did in his life.

Daehyun’s friends would often joke around about being an idol and that’s where his sudden interest sparked. At first, he played along joking about the idea but then it began to intrigue him, so he then started to research about it, which further catapulted him into a spiral of questions about the industry. After a long time of thinking, Daehyun finally realized that he was set on becoming an idol and introduced this idea to his parents. This took a lot of convincing and pleading since his parents were extremely surprised that he brought this up, and weren’t extremely sure if this was something he should go for. But, they finally caved in and allowed him to start auditioning for different companies. Daehyun had been constantly practicing and this meant that a range of labels were reaching out to him and accepting his auditions. Daehyun ended up choosing Melody Media as it was one of the closest to him and he didn’t want to have to separate from his family.

He was one of the last trainees to join the IN-SYNC lineup, being added last minute in 2018 just before the disbandment of the pre-debut group meaning he only spent a few months practicing with them but still managed to stay apart of the lineup, avoiding being cut off. In spring of 2019, Daehyun debuted in STARCRUSH as the lead rapper and lead vocalist.

𖤐 ˖ ࣪ I JUST HAD TO REACH MY GOALS ── yoo bonnie

Life in California was everything but peaceful for Yoo Bonnie. Her family were also extremely rich, but often neglected and chose to ignore Bonnie and the rest of her siblings, meaning that they had to focus on raising themselves & each other. Time together was barely enough for the family, and their Mother began to realize how unhealthy it was and took off with the four siblings. Things continued to be the same and nothing changed drastically, they were all still being ignored by the only parent they had left, so Bonnie got used to the same routine everyday. Bonnie and her siblings left their Mother to live with their Aunt in South Korea for the next 3 years.

This was where Bonnie gained interest in music, and a musical career. The idol life was all everyone talked about in Korea, especially in school and Bonnie wondered what it would be like too, after watching a few performances of SNSD most days when she came home from school. But she couldn’t speak much Korean at the time, and it was a struggle for her to communicate with her friends, teachers and other students, let alone sing in a whole other language. Bonnie was not exceptional at singing either and thought did a very long time, that her lack of vocal skills would be her downfall.

At that time, Bonnie’s older sister, Melanie, was taking dance classes and she had decided that she desperately wanted to join her as she had always found dancing fun and an interesting hobby to pick up since it didn’t seem very difficult. Bonnie was completely wrong, she often came home with bruises from continuously falling over and even sometimes, sprained limbs when she tried too hard to match her sister’s pace. A year since she had started dancing, was when Bonnie could finally keep up with the rest of the class, and began to go further than most each week. A few months later, and she had already been performing at festivals, and occasionally at her school.

It wasn’t until late 2017 when both her and her older sister, Annie, were scouted at one of Bonnie’s festivals where she was currently performing in along with Melanie, their aunt cheering them both on. One of Melody Media’s scouting crew persuaded her to audition for their company and after a long conversation, she finally gave in. Bonnie was accepted into Melody Media and joined the lineup for STARCRUSH in early 2019 as the last pre-debut member of IN-SYNC. She then debuted with STARCRUSH as the group’s main dancer & lead rapper.

𖤐 ˖ ࣪ I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU, THOUGH ── narumi miura

Miura Narumi, also known as Darling, was always a positive & vibrant person, even since birth. Narumi would always help out her family members and even her neighbours whenever they asked, this however, did not put her in a good spot. She was often picked on in school for being ‘naive’ and too ‘trusting’ when it came to who weren’t and who were her friends. This made Narumi often feel isolated from others and as if she didn’t have anyone else to talk to or simply just be around, since no one wanted to be near someone like her.

Narumi had always loved growing up in Japan, she loved her hometown and loved the fact that it was so easy to see her extended family members, but when it came to the time for her ti start thinking about her career, Narumi knew she didn’t want to stay stuck in Japan for the rest of her life. She didn’t have many options though, there wasn’t anything she excelled in or liked enough for her to make a career out of it, expect music. However, Narumi’s parents desperately wanted her to become a Doctor or a Teacher of some sort, which was exactly the opposite of what she wanted to be but they just would not let the idea go and continued to pressure her into it.

That was when she decided that she just couldn’t be near them anymore, and decided to go to South-Korea, alone. This decision was extremely hard for Narumi, because it meant living away from her family and going into a foreign country she knew nothing about and had no idea how to speak the language for a long period of time. Luckily for her, the rest of her family had soon followed behind her, not wanting to leave their daughter alone at such a young age. Whilst out with a few friends she had made in her short time in Korea, Narumi was scouted by Melody Media after they had heard a short few minutes of her singing.

Narumi was the last of the group to join the lineup and was a late addition, only being introduced after the disbandment of the pre-debut group IN-SYNC. She debuted in April, 2019 as the group’s lead vocalist & lead dancer.
