Esme Hardcastle: professional theorist and horrible scapegoat

This is my Official Essay-Post complaining about the absurdity that was the family tree. I'll be trying to explain my thoughts in a well-structured manner.

Firstly, I think we can all agree that making that goddamn family tree was one of the greatest mistakes CC's ever made, if not the greatest. It's been haunting her and us since tlh was announced and, frankly, should never have seen the light of day. However, once it did, it was a reality whose incorrectness the story had to live with and explain. And CC explained it, but in the most underwhelming, unsatisfactory way possible.

We're told that Esme Hardcastle, an ascended mundane James first meets in the shadowhunter academy, was the mastermind behind the family tree and that her mind is, actually, quite underdeveloped, hence why the family tree is full of errors. Well, that is a good way to explain certain aspects of the family tree, for example:

Why Alastair's name is misspelled as 'Alistar' -> many English names have different spellings and Esme might not have known which one to go to for Alastair; or perhaps she just made a typo because she was writing the family tree too fast

Why Sona's name is way off -> Alastair is a bitch and who knows what lies he could've told her to get her to leave him alone

Why some people (like Thomas) are supposed to die earlier than we now can expect them to -> she got angry and shortened their fictional lifespans

If the family tree had only silly mistakes like those, then Esme's existence would be nice, but nope. The family tree royally fucked up.

For once, it shouldn't contain info up until tda, since Esme surely didn't get to live until 1995 (when Emma was born), but also, she's a real character in-universe. She's supposed to know everyone in tlh, she should know that Barbara and Christopher died in 1903, she should know that Christopher certainly didn't get to marry Grace nor have children with her (even if they'd married they wouldn't have had any because they're both ace). Why, then, did she write that?

Esme is stupid, but she's not blind ffs. If CC really wanted to make her the reason behind the family tree, she should've explained further why Esme went full happy-flower-power mode and imagined a whole future for a guy who died at sixteen: is she a hardcore gracetopher shipper? A conspiratorial theorist who, in spite of seeing Christopher's body literally burn in a pyre, still thought he was alive? Both? I guess we'll never know.

This is all, for obvious reasons, frustrating.

I'm beyond overjoyed that she won't make another family tree. I wouldn't be surprised if she actually wrote a trilogy about tlh's children after twp (since her idea of it being the last shadowhunter trilogy has pretty much disappeared) and I don't want her to have to make up any other stupid reasons for why xyz info is wrong because Idiotbrain McStupid wrote it to compliment his real-person fanfiction of the next generations.

I want to honestly know what people think about GracexChristopher. They’re not blood-related. But they’re adoptive cousins, I suppose, because even though Grace was kept as Tatiana’s ward - she always referred to her as a mother. It’s still kind of weird.

Days 94-96 of COVID-19 shelter-in-place

Various shelter-in-place restrictions are being relaxed, and, unrelatedly, I have had some pretty good birdwatching lately.

Day 94 was Thursday. We had failed to buy milk the previous day (and I feel this was not my job after my medical procedure Wednesday morning), so I ended up having a smaller bowl of cereal than usual (followed by some of Wife’s millet porridge made with almond milk) and then going to buy some. There was no line to get in! That was very lucky! The store will be resuming its normal hours this week and staying open later than it has been lately, which is a relief--we won’t have as many incidents of realising too late that we don’t have what we need for breakfast the next day.

Then I “went” to work: we had a long meeting during which we did not come to an agreement about various strategies for analysis. The biostatistics grad student is convinced that the method two of us are advocating is based on an incorrect assumption, whereas I don’t see where we are making that assumption. I worked out some probability calculations with pencil and paper and wrote to the group about what I thought we were trying to do and why I didn’t think it made the erroneous assumption. I don’t know if that’s where she thought the assumption was coming in, though.

After work, I took a neighborhood walk with my binoculars and ended up getting some good birdwatching in. About halfway into the walk, I heard some rustling in the dry leaves on the ground. “Towhee?” I thought, and looked around for the source, expecting to see a brown California towhee. But it turned out to be a spotted towhee! Such a pretty bird, and I got a really good view of it in the binoculars. Since it’s a comparatively recent addition to my repertoire, I was excited about it. 

After that, I saw some house finches at the tippy top of a thin cypress (?) tree, and also saw a bird through the binoculars that... well, I couldn’t identify it, and I suspect this description is wrong because I couldn’t find anything in my book that matched it, but @lies​, if you have any ideas please let me know! It seemed to be a smallish bird with a solid (possibly orangey-) yellow front and a long, thin beak. It was perched near the top of a tree, and something I assume was a hummingbird seemed to be divebombing it? 

I walked back toward home but stopped at the house with the bird-feeders out front. There was a Nuttall’s woodpecker at the suet feeder! That was exciting (it’s another one I learned recently, and I’ve never seen one at a feeder). It got chased away by a scrub jay but hung out in the tree for a while and I got to watch it some more. There were also more chestnut-backed chickadees, goldfinches, and house finches, as usual, as well as a Steller’s jay. So I felt like I’d seen all the high-quality birds! 

In the evening I solved word puzzles with my dad on a video call. 

Yesterday was Day 95. I got up at 8am, and was really tired, but I had arranged to take a walk with my high school friend who’s visiting (and came over on Wednesday). We had planned to meet at 10am, but in a series of texts we postponed it to 10:15 and then 10:30, and then I didn’t manage to arrive at the meeting place until 10:40, and when I checked my phone on arrival, I saw that she was at least 10 minutes behind me! But eventually she turned up and we had a lovely walk in a park Wife and I have not been hiking in (it is a bit more crowded and less sunny than most of the ones we have gone to), but it’s the one this friend and I had both visited with our families as kids. This was just a very short, easy walk, but we saw ducks, turtles, chestnut-backed chickadees, a cute little periwinkle blue butterfly, and an amazingly well-camouflaged moth. It looked just like a leaf, but I happened to see it flap into position. I think it was an omnivorous looper? but the stripe along the back is blueish, which I haven’t seen in the photos online. Anyway, I was pleased with myself for not being scared of it. We also heard a woodpecker, but I couldn’t locate it. After our walk, we sat and chatted for a long time, and saw a couple of enormous ravens, a wild turkey, a bird of prey with a longish tail, and a couple of Steller’s jays. It was great to spend so much time with my friend. We did not stay 6ft apart the whole time, but when we were closer, we had our masks on, and when we were seated and talking, we were further apart; plus, we were outside the whole time. So I think it is fairly low-risk.

Afterwards, I drove down to my office. I had an appointment at 1:30, but I arrived a few minutes early, so first I ordered tacos to pick up at 1:45, and then I folded down the back seat of the car. I went to the door and waited for the building manager to let me in. I was there to collect my desk chair, in hopes that it will make working at home less of an ergonomic disaster. I also found Girl Scout cookies and some chocolate in my desk, so I brought them home too! The chair did fit in the back of the car (phew), and I picked up my tacos and came home. 

I worked all afternoon, though I took some breaks to read about Juneteenth, too. I had heard of it before as a Black American holiday, but I don’t think I had realised what it was specifically celebrating. And frankly, it’s outrageous that it isn’t a national holiday. The abolishment of slavery is something we should all be celebrating (as a first step toward liberty and justice for all, which we obviously have not yet achieved).

After work, I went to buy some ice cream and noticed that restaurants with space for outdoor dining have resumed seating people outside, with decent spacing between tables. 

I watered the plants that had to be put into pots, several of which are looking pretty shocked from the transplanting. And Wife and I did some heroic Adulting in the kitchen. I stayed up late.

Today was the Summer Solstice and also Day 96! Widget lost his lunch, or rather barfed his breakfast. I’m hoping an opossum will eat the vomit tonight, because I don’t want to have to clean it up.

I wrote to my city councilmember again, this time to ask about the fireworks we have been hearing every night for a few weeks. Last night’s fireworks may have been for Juneteenth, though. Anyway, I ended up going to the farmers’ market by myself rather late (Wife had a headache), but I ran into @llamapunk there and got to spend some time chatting and catching up with her while doing my shopping. Alas, I was too late for peaches! But in compensation, I bought lots of strawberries and some rhubarb. 

After I came home and ate, Wife and I set off to a park for a hike. This wasn’t as satisfying as most of the hikes we’ve taken--the trails were very confusing and poorly marked at many of the intersections, so we took wrong turns more than once. Also, they were both narrow and somewhat heavily trafficked in some sections, making it awkward to maintain much distance between ourselves and other hikers. Still, aspects of it were nice, and we got some good exercise--there was a very steep uphill section. However, the most exciting part of it was that we saw a family of wild turkeys, including several babies! So the hike was worth it just for that! I heard a woodpecker but couldn’t find it, but I got to point out some chestnut-backed chickadees to Wife, who was charmed by how cute they are. There was a variety of plant life, too, including a dead tree with some good fungi, a bay laurel with fragrant leaves, redwoods (with miner’s lettuce and redwood sorrel at their feet, but we were not supposed to stray from the trail to pick them), ferns, eucalypti, wildflowers, and the first ripe wild blackberries of the season. Being outside in nature and getting a little exercise seemed to relieve Wife’s headache, too.

I’ve solved a couple of cryptic crossword puzzles in the past couple days.

It looks like my county’s daily COVID-19 new confirmed case counts have been higher since late May than they were before that time, but that might be partly because of higher numbers of people getting tested. And the deaths seem to have peaked in April. Number of people in the ICU has remained fairly stable since mid-April, but the number of people in the hospital has roughly been increasing very slowly. Still, it doesn’t look like the protests have resulted in a pandemic upswing.

On a Saturday afternoon, 40 ladies take a seat enthusiastically under a tree they have named ‘Vaanam’. They almost lost Vaanam currently. However after their check informed them how Vaanam wished water and masses of affection in order to live in the warmth, this is exactly what the little individuals of Mahila Mandir had been doing. Every weekend, for kind of hours, the women are allowed to forget the drudgery in their lives, for there may be so much else to be performed, way to the volunteers from Vidyamritam.

A basis specializing in life-abilities training for children from tough backgrounds, Vidyamritam, until recently, changed into an informal collecting of Samaritans who desired to do more with their time. For founder Sreelakshmi Nair, a teacher with a global college inside the metropolis, it’s far merely an extension of what she knows and likes to do nicely. The girls of Mahila Mandir are having a summer season camp for the first time.

However, it isn’t about getting beforehand of the competition in a class that this camp teaches. “This is coaching for life. I name it twenty-first century capabilities. They learn how to cope with many stuff via conditions and function play,” Sreelakshmi says. summer camp would imply more time doing what they otherwise do only the weekends. So there are story-telling classes, dramatics, craft, dance, and extra.

After volunteering with various NGOs and returned from college abroad, Sreelakshmi felt ready to get energetic once more. “Here turned into a place full of keen little girls who loved to analyze,” she says of Mahila Mandir. the primary few sessions were held by way of her. Soon she found others like herself, willing to pitch in with their time and sources.

“I’ve always believed in the skill-based totally gaining knowledge of. My idea becomes initially life-abilities at a time when I did no longer even know what it supposed. First of all, we had English as a tool for communication. That was it. Then I met Sudha Vasanth, a senior instructor with whom I had a good deal to learn.” She credits her first workplace, a global college, with supplying the right education floor. “The opportunities regarded infinite.

The books will be dispensed to the kids at Mahila Mandir and we will have analyzing-based totally activities,” Sreelakshmi explains. “We will help Those who want to set up a library in orphanages or old age homes too.”

the sport Of existence Actual existence is similar to a game. I name it, “the sport of life.” We’re all born into this sport of existence. We should call this recreation, “the sport of Battle”. Why? Due to the fact, there are two aspects: proper and evil. The captains of our sport are God and Devil.

There are policies to the sport. The rules are given by God. They’re found in his scriptures and are his commandments.

We are all gamers in the game, and Every of us has the proper to pick out which side we need to be on. Anytime at some stage in our lifetime We are able to choose to be in either group.

To be on God’s face, we have to be obedient to the regulations or the commandments of the sport. To be on Devil’s side we just need to be disobedient to the policies or commandments of the sport.

Even as We’re gambling the game, our captains, God or Devil, (right or evil) is trying to steer us, thru our mind, idea, and our reports and through other human beings. Every captain is trying to get us on their side. We Every have our unfastened organization to choose which aspect we need to be on, We’re never forced on both side.

there is a reason to the sport; to check us to see which captain we will comply with. We’re given loose employer so We can pick which side we want to be on and who will win the sport, God or Devil, (exact or evil). The selection is up to us. we can both grow to be winners or losers depending on how we play the sport, how we comply with the rules and whom we observe, relying on the facet we choose.

There are consequences to the selections we make. The very last winners of the game can be the ones, who are still on God’s team after they die. The loser is on Satan’s group on their time of death.

The problem with the game is that whether or not you understand the regulations to the sport, or not, the outcome is the equal. In case you observe God’s regulations (commandments) you are a winner, If you select not to observe the guidelines you are a loser. with the intention to win the sport you must recognize the policies and obey them.

where do you locate the guidelines? In God’s scriptures. You have to examine them and know them and then follow them to recognize how to play the sport, In case you want to be a winner. a number of the other gamers on God’s aspect also can help you know the guidelines.

God’s desires you to win so that you may be happy, so he not only gives you the guidelines (his scriptures) he additionally offers other gamers who understand the rules who assist you to examine them. (Prophets, correct households and righteous individuals who are approximately you and any others who want you to win.)

Satan wishes you to lose the sport so he will blend up the guidelines so you do not recognize them and he has gamers too, on his team, who will blind you with lies and have an impact on you in horrific ways, so you may not comply with the commandments or trust them.

the sport has results. the first is whether you’ll enjoy the game At the same time as you’re gambling it or whether or not you will be miserable At the same time as you are playing this game of existence. The handiest way to be glad gambling the game is to obey the regulations by means of being at the proper side, God’s aspect. The manner to be miserable, At the same time as you play the sport is to disobey the rules. Despite the fact that being on Devil’s facet may convey brief delight, it is not lasting. simplest God’s happiness and joy is lasting. It’s that simple.

The second one final results are that when the sport is over, that’s death, all the points may be tallied up by means of the 2 captains, God and Satan, and whoever has the most factors gets you on his group in the subsequent life.

If you have been obedient and on God’s team, whilst you died, you’ll be a winner and your prize may be everlasting lifestyles, you’ll stay with God, your Heavenly Father and his Son, your Savior Jesus Christ (who atoned for the mistakes you made, While you had been playing the game, on the wrong side, But eventually chose the right facet). you may live forever in a kingdom of happiness after you die.

If you were disobedient to the rules of the sport and died Even as nevertheless on Devil’s facet you may lose the game. Your result could be that you may not be capable of live along with your Father in Heaven or His son Jesus Christ and your lifestyles might be all the time in a kingdom of misery with Satan. you will know you made the incorrect preference and choose the incorrect captain and the game has ended and also you cannot cross back and change it.

The good element about the sport of lifestyles is that at any time, up till loss of life, you could choose to be on the winning team and comply with God. The way to do This is to repent of the evil matters you did Even as you have been on the incorrect group and begin obeying the rules, the commandments. God will robotically be given you on his winning group. all the errors, that you made At the same time as gambling on the losing aspect, might be forgotten and forgiven, If you repent.

The problem is that you never know when your sport of lifestyles will stop. You never recognize whilst you’ll die, so always pick out to be on The best side, God’s facet and be a winner to your recreation of existence.
