What's something about your work that you're dying to talk about?

Ooh this is a very good question! Thought a lot abt it, sorry if the response is very delayed.

I think because I haven't posted fic in like... half a year my desire to overshare on my progress has kind of dried up. But I was recently reminded of this one WIP I had about Odell/Jarvis with the added element about the red string of fate so I'll talk about that (the closest I will get to working on it).

Basically it follows their lives from high school when they first met at some interstate tournament. I'm pretty sure it's all from Odell's POV, not sure why I chose to do that but it was probably because his experiences were more interesting to me at the time to narrate through. They meet and exchange phone numbers, thus establishing a friendship, and a kind of rapport over similar experiences.

(The way I set up red strings of fate is that people are able to see their own strings and who they're tied to, which is usually their soulmate. But they're not perfect and sometimes the strings can break because whoever they were linked to ended up forming a stronger emotional connection to someone else.)

So Odell's string breaks at some point and he's not really sure if it's his own fault, despite having never met whoever it was supposed to be. There's also the fact that his parents are separated and he's being aware of the fact that he might also be into guys, which factors into Odell feeling generally very hesitant about love. Especially because he's going to go to a D1 school on a scholarship, and something like that would be pretty heavily frowned upon. Something something the expectation of male athletes to be masculine and not be burdened by feelings. But Jarvis does make him feel better whenever they hang out, even if they live like 50 miles apart.

But anyways they both end up going to LSU and here is where I basically stopped outlining but it's good. It's just easy to hang out with Jarvis, and Odell may or may not develop feelings? But at the same time it seems like Jarvis has already found his soulmate, so yeah. Unrequited feelings. And they're roommates. I feel like I would've just inserted some moment where they're on the verge of acting on those feelings but. I didn't write that far. Also include the part where Odell practices how to one-hand catch bc that's important of course.

I feel like I would've explored a good amount about how the sudden fame in the NFL gets to Odell, and how Jarvis is there to ground him. But long story short is that a lot of things happen and eventually feelings are discovered and they get together but it takes a very long time. (Unfortunately everything besides the relationship is "canon compliant" in the sense that all the timeline events align so yeah) Uhh I think that their strings somehow become linked bc I was one of those people who didn't know how to subvert expectations. But that happens! Yeah. Nice to ramble abt something I haven't looked at in a while.

Evelyn Preer

Evelyn Preer (née Jarvis; July 26, 1896 – November 17, 1932), was an African American pioneering screen and stage actress, and jazz and blues singer in Hollywood during the late-1910s through the early 1930s. Preer was known within the Black community as "The First Lady of the Screen."

She was the first Black actress to earn celebrity and popularity. She appeared in ground-breaking films and stage productions, such as the first play by a black playwright to be produced on Broadway, and the first New York–style production with a black cast in California in 1928, in a revival of a play adapted from Somerset Maugham's Rain.

Evelyn Jarvis was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on July 26, 1896. After her father, Frank, died prematurely, she moved with her mother, Blanche, and her three other siblings to Chicago, Illinois. She completed grammar school and high school in Chicago. Her early experiences in vaudeville and "street preaching" with her mother are what jump-started her acting career. Preer married Frank Preer on January 16, 1915, in Chicago.

At the age of 23, Preer's first film role was in Oscar Micheaux's 1919 debut film The Homesteader, in which she played Orlean. Preer was promoted by Micheaux as his leading actress with a steady tour of personal appearances and a publicity campaign, she was one of the first African American women to become a star to the black community. She also acted in Micheaux's Within Our Gates (1920), in which she plays Sylvia Landry, a teacher who needs to raise money to save her school. Still from the 1919 Oscar Micheaux film Within Our Gates.

In 1920, Preer joined The Lafayette Players a theatrical stock company in Chicago that was founded in 1915 by Anita Bush, a pioneering stage and film actress known as “The Little Mother of Black Drama". Bush and her troupe toured the US to bring legitimate theatre to black audiences at a time when theaters were racially segregated by law in the South, and often by custom in the North and the interest of vaudeville was fading. The Lafayette Players brought drama to black audiences, which caused it to flourish until its end during the Great Depression.

She continued her career by starring in 19 films. Micheaux developed many of his subsequent films to showcase Preer's versatility. These included The Brute (1920), The Gunsaulus Mystery (1921), Deceit (1923), Birthright (1924), The Devil’s Disciple (1926), The Conjure Woman (1926) and The Spider's Web (1926). Preer had her talkie debut in the race musical Georgia Rose (1930). In 1931, she performed with Sylvia Sidney in the film Ladies of the Big House. Her final film performance was as Lola, a prostitute, in Josef von Sternberg's 1932 film Blonde Venus, with Cary Grant and Marlene Dietrich. Preer was lauded by both the black and white press for her ability to continually succeed in ever more challenging roles, "...her roles ran the gamut from villain to heroine an attribute that many black actresses who worked in Hollywood cinema history did not have the privilege or luxury to enjoy." Only her film by Micheaux and three shorts survive. She was known for refusing to play roles that she believed demeaned African Americans.

By the mid-1920s, Preer began garnering attention from the white press, and she began to appear in crossover films and stage parts. In 1923, she acted in the Ethiopian Art Theatre's production of The Chip Woman's Fortune by Willis Richardson. This was the first dramatic play by an African-American playwright to be produced on Broadway, and it lasted two weeks. She met her second husband, Edward Thompson, when they were both acting with the Lafayette Players in Chicago. They married February 4, 1924, in Williamson County, Tennessee. In 1926, Preer appeared on Broadway in David Belasco’s production of Lulu Belle. Preer supported and understudied Lenore Ulric in the leading role of Edward Sheldon's drama of a Harlem prostitute. She garnered acclaim in Sadie Thompson in a West Coast revival of Somerset Maugham’s play about a fallen woman.

She rejoined the Lafayette Players for that production in their first show in Los Angeles at the Lincoln Center. Under the leadership of Robert Levy, Preer and her colleagues performed in the first New York–style play featuring black players to be produced in California. That year, she also appeared in Rain, a play adapted from Maugham's short story by the same name.

Preer also sang in cabaret and musical theater where she was occasionally backed by such diverse musicians as Duke Ellington and Red Nichols early in their careers. Preer was regarded by many as the greatest actress of her time.

Developing post-childbirth complications, Preer died of pneumonia on November 17, 1932, in Los Angeles at the age of 36. Her husband continued as a popular leading man and "heavy" in numerous race films throughout the 1930s and 1940s, and died in 1960.

Their daughter Edeve Thompson converted to Catholicism as a teenager. She later entered the Sisters of St. Francis of Oldenburg, Indiana, where she became known as Sister Francesca Thompson, O.S.F., and became an academic, teaching at both Marian University in Indiana and Fordham University in New York City.

Still from the 1919 Oscar Micheaux film Within Our Gates.

Jarvis Landry's daughter meeting a baby deer will make your day!

He called them Bambi and it was Garth and he responded and the guy is helping out and said what happened and I'm doing the image of Todd and me they said that one over there and it was Todd was supposed to get shot and this one who's going to tell her to get in the car and he was saying a little bit more I didn't see anything and stuff saw us and you can see it in the signs and it's ask the question a lot and people are going to look at this a lot you know some kind of looks like this but then again a lot of you do like Brad but there are certain traits that are different and he has some of them because when he's smaller he's a giant and so it comes out differently and you'll see it and when he's bigger like Pentecost he looks more normal he's usually just a little bit higher and taller around the height of his character Wilt Chamberlain

Thor Freya

We used to play basketball with him and he was a much cooler person and he said I can't drink spring water all the time he does purified water and you have to drink it and you can put a little salt and other stuff or you're just going to be small and he tried it and he started feeling better and then people beat it out of him he tries to filter it and it's hard too so use a salt and it does work with iodine

Preston

And he started doing it again and he feels better and it's getting a little bigger already which means the stuff is finally wearing off no it's going to get worse because he says the bugs are going to be what's in there and they'll be an idiots going in which is what they're doing now and that's right

It does affect the hormone and it's the iodine so it's a good thing to use he doesn't want everything and I'm actually doing it now I feel much better and I'm going to be too damn big he says that's fun

Bill joe

It's ridiculous situation but he's in it and he needs a lot of help and he did it to trying to attract people to help him it's one of the main purposes really

Thor Freya

It is

Hera Zues

Olympus we approved this message and we're going to start helping we do agree with what they've been saying it's ridiculously difficult and it looks like it's not
