Sterling gripped her older sister's hand so tight it probably hurt her but she needed that grip to tether her to the earth so she wouldn't drift off in her own despair. It sounded so melodramatic but so many emotions were running through her that she felt as though the world was ending. Hell, the world could be falling apart around her and she wouldn't even notice. There was so much fear of doing everything alone again and there was so much sadness at the thought of losing another good thing in her life. Arkin was beginning to mean more to her than she intended for him to, but she was falling for him and it was terrifying and wonderful all at once. She hoped he stayed and she'd wish on stars and pray when she never had in her life for him to stay, but she feared it still wouldn't happen.

It took Liza cupping her face to make her finally meet her gaze, and there was a pool of tears in her eyes as she searched her sister's face, trying her best to listen and comprehend what was being said. "I want that." Sterling sniffled, the admission even causing a few tears to fall. "I want Arkin to stay, t- to be someone I can love and someone who'd love me, but... but I'm not you. He's not Wes. We might not get the good ending like you did. I-- I don't want to do this alone again. I don't. It's scary and embarrassing and painful, and I-- I just need you to keep telling me it's okay."

Liza opened her mouth to speak but then closed it and looked away. She didn't want to word it like that but..she just feared that what happened with Sunny's father could potentially happen again. She didn't want Sterling having to go through that again. Instead of replying though she just stood up and reached for Sterling's hand, gently trying to pry her sister's fingers apart where they were gripping at her shirt so she could hold her hand instead. "That doesn't sound stupid." She murmured softly. No more stupid than wanting another baby when you currently have a nine month old. She didn't say that aloud though and just gently squeezed Sterling's hand, trying to comfort her sister.

"Sterl. You are someone who deserves to be stayed for. And anyone who doesn't is an idiot and never deserved you in the first place." She said it adamantly too, believing it with her whole heart. "And who's to say you're not going to get your happily ever after too, huh?" She shifted closer then, keeping one hand holding Sterling's and moving the other to cup her sister's cheek, gently coaxing her to meet her gaze. "We....we don't know what Arkin will say. Who knows? Maybe...he'll want this too? Maybe he feels the same way about you as you do about him, and he'll want this. I mean...look at Wes." She gave her a sad little smile. "I was terrified he'd leave. A..And I know it all scared him too, but he stepped up. And he didn't leave me. Maybe Arkin will be the same. And be another good man- something you deserve."

They both moved to sit back down then, Liza still not letting go. She understood how it felt to have the order of things to go out the window. She'd gotten pregnant the first time she ever slept with Wes and then they got married before she even had the baby- definitely not how she expected things to go. But looking back on it all, Liza wouldn't change any of it. It all led to the life she had now- a life she loved. And she just hoped maybe Sterling could feel the same one day: that even if it didn't happen how she'd wanted it, it could end up being something wonderful. "I genuinely believe things will be okay, Sterl. A-And that things happen the way that they do for a reason." She thought about herself then, her own news she'd wanted to share but now she wasn't sure if she should. "Everything that's happening is..for a reason. And everything will be okay. We just gotta keep telling ourselves that...okay?"

Okay I NEED to know what the current most popular slash ships are, being on tumblr just feels like slash fandom is dying out, and I'd like to look up some ships because even if I don't like them, following other slash shippers feels so much nicer than seeing people bash them all the time.

--

On AO3, the m/m category is a tag like any other.

That means you can go directly to that tag and look at the sidebar, either in general or filtered for the past year. (No need to rely on those faulty ship stats.)

Broadly, the really massive juggernauts are still going, chugging along on fanon long after their canons have ended or gone to shit. A bunch of fandoms that younger people like are huge. And a lot of older people who used to only be into Western fandoms fell for The Untamed a few years ago and are now into lots of other danmei and BL fandoms. Thai dramas seem to be really heating up lately.

--

Here's the sidebar in general:

Castiel/Dean Winchester (108832)

Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski (68896)

Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter (66461)

Sherlock Holmes/John Watson (66324)

James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers (60107)

Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens) (51611)

Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (44020)

Sirius Black/Remus Lupin (42921)

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson (42063)

filtering those out:

Bakugou Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku (39754)

Han Jisung | Han/Lee Minho | Lee Know (5632)

Jeon Jungkook/Kim Taehyung | V (5201)

Will Graham/Hannibal Lecter (4199)

In general, I would look at things with canon gay and/or at big anime, c-drama, and kpop RPF fandoms.

And block dickheads liberally when you see them in the tags on tumblr.

If you want to hang out with oldschool people, you could always come to Escapade con. We should be having an online one some time in the summer. There's also a discord. We're currently doing a group watch of Mysterious Lotus Casebook among other things.

Rapper Lil' Kim Has Had A Profound Impact On Fashion Over The Years

hen Lil’ Kim made her debut with the 1996 album Hard Core, she utterly and completely changed the rap game. A protege of Notorious B.I.G., and the sole female member of his hip-hop group Junior M.A.F.I.A., Lil’ Kim, aka Kimberly Denise Jones, had a flow that was raw and gritty, with raunchy, sexually liberating lyrics that made critics clutch their pearls. Hard Core went on to become certified double platinum by the RIAA, cementing the then-22-year-old as a bona fide hip-hop god. But it wasn’t just Lil’ Kim’s lyrical prowess that set her apart from her contemporaries that came before her. Her sense of style also made her a trailblazer, solidifying her as a pop culture fashion icon.

While other women rappers like Queen Latifah, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and Da Brat favored more androgynous clothing, like oversize T-shirts and baggy jeans, Lil’ Kim’s outfits were ultra-feminine, bold, risqué, and revealing — as provocative and outrageous as her songs. She wore teeny-tiny bikinis, see-through silhouettes, candy-colored wigs, and equally vibrant fur coats. She also helped popularize ’90s and noughties logomania, a trend in which designer branding is made overtly obvious on one’s clothing and accessories (the antithesis to “quiet luxury”). In Kim’s case, logomania also applied to hairstyles, as she famously wore wigs with Chanel’s double “C” logo and Versace’s Greek key motif. (The move made sense for someone who frequently name-dropped designers in her lyrics). Aside from head-to-toe designer monograms, Kim has worn a sparkly catsuit made with 965,000 crystals, embellished headpieces with matching thongs, and a gray, floor-length chinchilla coat (which she modeled next to mob daughter Victoria Gotti in the video for 2003’s “Came Back for You”). The list goes on.

“She was bringing something new that we hadn’t really seen before,” says Elizabeth Way, fashion historian and associate curator at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). “For so long, female rappers had been kind of marginalized and really tried to fit in with their male counterparts, especially with their style. Lil’ Kim rejected that and embraced her femininity in both her style and her lyrics.” Marissa Pelly, stylist for the rapper Ice Spice, shares a similar sentiment, pointing out how the industry made female musicians feel like they couldn’t boldly embrace their sexuality while simultaneously being perceived as “chic” or “luxury” — as if the two concepts could not co-exist. “Now when I see female artists owning their sexuality, while also being muses for some of fashion’s most elite houses, I think of — and I thank — Lil’ Kim.”

Behind every celebrity style icon is a brilliant stylist; a wizard behind the velvet curtain, so to speak. For Lil’ Kim, it was Misa Hylton. One cannot discuss Kim’s vestiary tours de force without mentioning the industry legend by her side, who had already been masterminding looks for Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Jodeci, and her then-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs. But theirs was a match made in fashion heaven; the two women felt an immediate kinship. “I think that Kim and I were magical together and when you have that type of synergy only greatness can come forth. We were thinking outside of the box and unapologetically taking risks. People gravitate to that type of authentic and creative energy,” Hylton told Dazed in 2018.

The two women set the bar high high from the beginning with a legendary look the promotional poster for Hard Core, Kim’s debut album: a leopard print bikini and a sheer, marabou-trimmed duster. The one-piece was designed by Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Field, who owned a store in New York City from 1996 until 2016. It was known to be a hot shopping spot for fellow performers like Debbie Harry, Lady Gaga, and Kim’s friend and frequent collaborator Missy Elliott. Hylton and Kim frequented Field’s boutique almost daily. In the years — and decades — that followed, both the look, and Kim’s signature squatting pose, would be replicated by the likes of Teyana Taylor, Nicki Minaj, GloRilla, and countless others.

Hylton and Kim also went all out for the “Crush on You” music video, directed by Lance Rivera. Inspired by the The Wiz’s color-changing Emerald City disco dance sequence, the video featured the star in monochromatic technicolor outfits and matching wigs — and instantly catapulted her to mainstream MTV fame. “When you think of the blueprint for most female musicians’ styles today, you think the designer logos; the iced-out, statement jewelry; and different styles of wigs — that was all her,” explains stylist Estelle Aporongao. “Kim’s DNA runs through the contemporary fashion industry’s veins.”

In 1998, Kim donned a bejeweled caged headpiece and matching arm sleeves to the 1998 Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards, which felt like the ultimate statement. But the rapper topped herself yet again a year later when she attended the MTV Video Music Awards in a purple wig and lilac-colored, sequined jumpsuit, complete with a single purple pasty that garnered an unforgettable reaction from Diana Ross. The moment would become the stuff of award show legend.

That same year, Kim covered Interview magazine’s November issue wearing only a Louis Vuitton headgear and LV logos painted all over her body, a moment described as a “cultural reset” by celebrity stylist Audrey Brianne, who works with Chris Tucker and Tyler Posey. “At the time, it was a fresh idea no other star had rocked quite so boldly. If people weren’t already paying attention to Lil’ Kim by then, they were now,” she says.

To be clear, Lil’ Kim was interested in fashion long before she dressed in colorful furs. “Her high school friends recounted how she would spend her allowance on clothes and had Gucci before they even knew what it was,” explains Nygel Simons, a stylist and archivist, noting that the artist also worked at Bloomingdale’s prior to rapping full time. “It really shines through when an artist genuinely loves fashion.” Nowadays, it’s not out of the ordinary for a designer to dress hip-hop artists for red carpets or sit them front row at Fashion Week, but in the 1990s, that relationship didn’t really exist. Lil’ Kim had a je ne sais quoi that both attracted and inspired designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, Betsey Johnson, John Galliano, and Donatella Versace, who would dress her for her 1999 Met Gala debut.

Way long before Barbiecore would become a part of the cultural zeitgeist, Lil’ Kim sported a pink, full-length mink coat with a studded pink bra, matching hot pants, and pink snakeskin boots for the “Rock Style”-themed Met Gala. “Donatella is my girl. We’ve loved each other from the moment we first saw each other,” Kim told Vogue in 2020. “At the Met, you’re a designer’s muse, [and] she loved the fact that I have fun in her clothes.”

Lil’ Kim has also walked the runway for designers including Baby Phat, The Blonds, and VFiles. But her closest friendship is with fashion designer Marc Jacobs, whom she calls her “bestie” and who has played a significant role in her life and career. Jacobs dressed Kim for her court appearances and subsequently became her prison pen pal when she served a one-year sentence for lying to protect friends involved in a 2001 shootout. Kim sent Jacobs the Bratz doll coloring pages she painted, which he then had framed and hung in his house. Jacobs is also writing the foreword for her forthcoming memoir, The Queen Bee.

“These were interesting and important alliances for her during the early 2000s because it further legitimized the message to her fans and the public that her empire and reach extended well beyond music,” says stylist Alison Brooks, who works with television personality and hairstylist Jonathan Van Ness. “I believe it was a turning point, not so subtly signaling to other artists to bling themselves out in designer looks with confidence and embrace their curves with body positivity before body positivity became a thing.”

When it comes to her own work, Pelly says she’s strongly influenced by Lil’ Kim. “I love how effortlessly she would combine her own fun custom pieces with luxury ones, while also demonstrating a great deal of high-end fashion knowledge.” Pelly says she had this approach in mind while styling Ice Spice for the “Barbie World” music video, pairing a custom Chanel-inspired, Christian Cowan tweed set with a Barbiecore bra by Laser Kitten, custom Emilio Pucci, and pieces from the Gaultier archives. “It’s that duality that’s so inspiring to me and creates the most interesting, well-rounded looks every time.” She also drew ideas from Kim’s 2003 “Summer Jam” performance, in which she wears SS03 Jean Paul Gaultier script belts around her waist and chest. “I love when artists love the same brands I do... I tracked down the same belts for Ice’s Paper Magazine cover back in April as a nod to the OG style icon.”

It’s difficult to imagine what would have happened if Lil’ Kim hadn’t paved the way for women in hip-hop to take fashion risks. Cardi B might not have worn archival Mugler to the 2019 Grammy Awards, and who knows if Megan Thee Stallion would have modeled for Calvin Klein. Then there’s the countless Kim homages artists have paid over the years: Beyoncé replicated several of Kim’s famous looks for Halloween 2017; Rihanna has cited the rapper’s penchant for experimenting with different looks as a major influence on her own fashion sense; and Miley Cyrus dressed in Kim’s MTV VMAs look for Halloween back in 2013, purple pasty and all. It’s for reasons like these that stylists like Simons believe Lil’ Kim deserves official acknowledgement for her legacy, particularly from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. (For years, fans have been calling on the CFDA to honor Kim with its annual Fashion Icon award.)

One thing’s for sure: You’d be hard-pressed to find another hip-hop fashion icon with the same enduring legacy. “Lil’ Kim is the blueprint,” says Simons. “Whenever you think you’re being presented with something new, if you search hard enough, you’ll find that Kim has already done it at some point.”

Ensign O'Toole

I typically do not share content regarding American television shows or films; however, I consider the series Ensign O'Toole to be an exception. Throughout its airing, the show featured numerous special guests, with my favourite episode being the fourth, titled "Operation: Benefit," which included an appearance by the Kim Sisters.

Ensign O'Toole is an American television sitcom featuring Dean Jones in the lead role as a naval officer on the USS Appleby, a United States Navy destroyer, set in the early 1960s. The show was broadcast from 1962 to 1963 and was directed by a range of individuals including Hy Averback, Richard Kinon, and Jackie Cooper, among others. The series drew inspiration from two works by William Lederer, namely All the Ships at Sea (1950) and Ensign O'Toole and Me (1957), with Lederer serving as a consultant. The fictional USS Appleby was represented by the destroyer USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754).

Synopsis

Ensign O'Toole serves as a junior officer on the fictional destroyer USS Appleby during the peacetime era of the early 1960s in the United States Navy. The crew includes Lieutenant Commander Virgil Stoner, the executive officer; Lieutenant (junior grade) Rex St. John, the wealthy and often confused supply officer; and a variety of eccentric crew members, such as Chief Petty Officer Homer Nelson, who frequently seeks poker games and clashes with O'Toole, along with Seamen Gabby Di Julio, Howard Spicer, and Claude White. O'Toole, characterized by his laid-back demeanor, possesses intelligence, multilingual abilities, and a knack for trivia, yet he tends to shirk responsibilities in favor of pranks and outshining the ambitious St. John, often with the crew's enthusiastic support. The commanding officer of the Appleby remains off-screen, with Lieutenant Commander Stoner typically conveying orders, although the commanding officer's voice occasionally emanates from the ship's "squawk box."

The destroyer USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754), seen in April 1963, portrayed the fictional USS Appleby.

Broadcast history

Ensign O'Toole debuted on NBC on September 23, 1962, and concluded after one season, with its final episode airing on May 5, 1963. The series, which consisted of 32 original episodes, continued to be rerun in its regular Sunday 7:00 p.m. time slot until September 15, 1963. Subsequently, from March to September 1964, ABC broadcast reruns of the show on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m., with the last episode airing on September 10, 1964, before Bewitched replaced it the following week. As of April 2023, the series has been available in the United Kingdom on Talking Pictures TV.

Cast:

The ensemble cast of Ensign O'Toole features Dean Jones in the titular role of Ensign O'Toole. Supporting him are Jay C. Flippen as Chief Petty Officer Homer Nelson, Jack Mullaney portraying Lieutenant (junior grade) Rex St. John, and Jack Albertson as Lieutenant Commander Virgil Stoner.

Recurring roles are filled by Stuart Margolin as Lieutenant Miller, Skip Ward as Lieutenant Ferguson, Ken Berry as Lieutenant Melton, Gerald Trump as Crump, Andrew Colmar as Naismith, and Eddie Peterson as Selby.

The list below presents the first part of a compilation detailing episodes 1 to 12 of the US series Ensign O'Toole, which includes the titles, air dates, and summaries of the events occurring in each episode. Enjoy ;)

Episode 1 - "Operation: Kowana," directed by Hy Averback and penned by Bill Davenport, premiered on September 23, 1962.

In this episode, the crew of the Appleby is cautioned to maintain decorum during their shore leave in the Japanese port of Kowana, following a previous incident where a U.S. Navy crew inundated the town with counterfeit currency.

In this episode, Lieutenant (junior grade) St. John inadvertently damages a French doctor's Ford Model T while trying to fix it on a South Pacific island in French Polynesia. Subsequently, O'Toole acquires the vehicle and instructs the crew to camouflage it in parts aboard the Appleby. Upon the ship's arrival in California, he has the car reassembled for sale; however, before the intended buyer can inspect it, an admiral with a passion for antique cars spots it at the dock. The episode features guest appearances by Don Beddoe, Susan Silo, Emil Genest, and Alberto Morin.

Episode 5, titled "Operation: Jinx," was directed by Hy Averback and penned by Sheldon Keller and Howard Merrill, premiering on October 21, 1962.

The narrative follows Seaman Jerome J. "Jinx" Johnson, who joins the crew of the Appleby.

Consequently, the crew experiences a series of mishaps shortly after Johnson's arrival. The episode features guest appearances by Soupy Sales as "Jinx" Johnson, along with Sandra Gould, Sid Gould, Clyde Adler, Harvey Perry, Michael Adair, and Ed Craig.

In this episode, Lieutenant (junior grade) St. John misplaces the funds entrusted to him by Lieutenant Commander Stoner for a diplomatic gathering. In response, O'Toole offers to assist St. John by organizing the event at no cost, intending to procure food from other vessels in the fleet and enlisting Chief Petty Officer Nelson to concoct a beverage that could pass for "wine." The episode features guest appearances by Jay Novello, Jan Arvan, Veola Vonn, Norma Varden, Ramsey Hill, Irwin Ashkenazy, and George Baxter.

Episode 9, titled "Operation: Mess," was directed by James Komack and penned by writers Sheldon Keller and Howard Merrill, airing on November 18, 1962.

The guest appearance features Michael Adair, highlighting the comedic turmoil that arises when O'Toole transforms St. John into a strict adherent of regulations and alters the Chief's attitude towards gambling.

Episode 12, titled "Operation: Potomac," was directed by Hy Averback and written by Sheldon Keller and Howard Merrill, airing on December 9, 1962.

In this episode, while the Appleby is docked in Washington, D.C., Ensign O'Toole begins receiving mysterious gifts from an unknown admirer.

Extended credits for Museum at Tomorrow episode 5

Below the cut are all of the folks who I used (and asked to be credited) for recordings in Museum at Tomorrow episode 5- specifically, the "This is not for You" recordings.

(The list was too long for podcast episode descriptions)

These recordings were mixed into the soundscape of the show, heavily processed- so you may or may not be able to pick out your voice. Each unique recording is preserved as rhythem, timber, and shape within the episode.

Thank you for your work in creating the canvas of this piece.
