AiO thought of the Week
If there is one thing we know about Whit it's that he's rich and if there is one thing I know about rich people is that they get stuff named after them. Mr. Whittaker is a fairly modest person of course so he might insist on anonymity but even if he does I don't think that would extend to his loved ones. For example imagine you live in the Odyssey universe an you go over to your local VA hospitals, would it be unreasonable to see the Jerry Whitaker wing?

I've tried posting this THREE TIMES THUS FAR and it keeps reloading and deleting everything on my gay ass. Anyway-
Anon lore? On my dash? It's more likely than you think.
Heavy warnings for this one, I think I got all the tags correct? Lmk just in case I need to edit/add tags to help filter it better.
ENTIRE FAMILY FOUND DEAD, SUSPECT ON THE LOOSE
This weekend, police were alerted to a murder taking place by a young woman staying at her boyfriend’s sister’s house for a family reunion. When police arrived at the home, Martha Banker directed them to the scene of the crime.
Bodies belonging to Mary Carpenter, John Carpenter, Susan Carpenter and Hazel Carpenter were found all around the house, massacred. One officer even found the body of Jacob Carpenter in the woods, partially hidden in the creek.
“We found stab wounds in most of them,” Officer Whittaker said. “We had to call in one of those guys who finds the causes of deaths for people, and not even he knew what happened to some of ‘em. One of them- a man, believe it or not, had been strangled to death. We found a poor chap in the woods with an ax in his neck, his body dumped in the creek nearby. His eyes had been closed, so at least the murderer had some respect for the dead.”
After the police searched the property, they brought Martha Banker, George Carpenter and Jerry Carpenter in for questioning. George and Jerry Carpenter, the youngest of the Carpenter family, were oblivious to the horrible thing that had transpired in their cousin’s home that day. Martha Banker was not as fortunate.
“I saw it happen,” Martha told the police. “Through the window. She had just gone mad, turning on her own family like that. She’d been acting odd all week, always tired, always forgetting what she’d just done. Sometimes she’d ramble on and on about movies or actors that don’t exist, but Jacob and I always gave her the benefit of the doubt.”
[Redacted] Carpenter, the youngest adult of the family, was a self-made woman who crafted chairs for a living. She had exceptional grades in school, never talked back to her teachers, never spoke poorly of her fellow students, and never got into trouble. So why now? Why would [Redacted], the perfect model student, child, citizen, lash out now?
“She’d always been angry,” one of [Redacted]’s friends said in an interview. “At her dad for leaving her mom, at her uncle and brother poking fun at her fear of puppets, at her grandma for trying to push her into finding a boyfriend… [Redacted] was angry at a lot of people all the time. I guess it finally, y’know… burst.”
Where is [Redacted] Carpenter now? How will this state-wide manhunt affect you and your family? (Cont. on page 4)

[Beginning] [Previous] [Next]
Mike let Aubrie know that they were having a meeting with the principle to go over some things before school started. She followed behind him, trying her best to hide her anxiety. Truthfully, she hated these kinds of meetings. It wasn’t her first time being called to the office of her school’s principle or vice principle. They always expressed concern for her situation, but never offered her any help. It was always "you need to come to school, Aubrie" or "stop missing so many classes, Aubrie."
She was lost in her thoughts and nearly ran into Mike when he stopped and lightly knocked on the door to the principle’s office. Mr. Williams, the high school’s principle, was waiting for them both as they entered and sat down.
Mr. Williams: Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with me, Mr. Whittaker. And Miss Burke, I appreciate your patience as we get things set up to ensure your safety.
Mike: So like I explained on the phone, I’ll be setting up security perimeters around the entire school. There were already cameras monitoring the school grounds and I’ve just added a few extra to cover some of their blind spots.
Mr. Williams: Will there be a security detail following Miss Burke?
Mike: Not following her personally, no. I have deployed plain clothes security officers to monitor the situation around the school. Along with the security officers monitoring the entrance, exit, and the security cameras, I feel that is more than adequate protection without getting too intrusive into Aubrie--Miss Burke’s--personal activities.
Mr. Williams: Perfect. And as we discussed, this campus is a gun free zone--
Mike: None of my officers are carrying guns or weapons of any kind. They’ve all been trained to disarm threats without the use of a weapon. And trust me, I’d have no problem leaving my own life in their hands. They’re good at what they do. No one will be able to get to Miss Burke.
Mr. Williams: Great! We want all of our students to feel safe and secure on our campus.
Aubrie sat in silence as Mike and the principle discussed more details. The more she heard, the better she felt.
There was absolutely no way Loretta or Jerry could get to her while she was in school.

Climax Foods won at the Good Food awards for their vegan cheese but they were disqualified! The rules claimed the product had to be retail ready and could nnot contain kokum butter.

Riley Keough and Elvis Presley Enterprises had to put a halt to a company called Naussany Investments and their attempt to auction off Graceland.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Was fined $75,000 by Nascar for a brawl with Kyle Busch. Busch knocked him out in the 2nd lap of the race. Stenhouse waited the race out to confront Busch. Stenhouse Sr. and 2 other teammates were also punished. Most think the $75,000 fine was too much. ** Christopher Bell won the Coca Cola 600. ** Stewart Haas racing will fold after this season. 
***** 
Watched a couple of Apple’s newer offerings. Sugar, with James Cromwell and Colin Farrel gave us that film noir vibe and held surprises. And Cromwell was lookin’ fine as hell!!!!Palm Royale took a bit for me to get into but once Mindy Cohn and Julia Duffy got going, forget it, I was hooked. Hooray for Carol Burnett and the cliffhanger that makes me suddenly very excited for this show to come back!! 
***** 
In Virginia, Stonewall Jackson high’s name was changed to Mountain View and Ashby-Lee was changed to Honey Run elementary. Locals have now voted to change them back. I guess they can’t celebrate their traitors enough.

Farm Family Foods is opening a farm to table grocery in Benson, Il and hoping to expand. Small towns are slowly losing their grocery stores. Some are left with Dollar stores, convenient stores or nothing. Good luck!!! 
***** 
So.. Harrison Butker, who I had never heard of, seems like a real pig. The Kansas City Chief seems completely unaware that he does not live in1824. He attacked pride month, the transgender community and working women. His commencement speech at the Benedictine college has been poo poo’d by nearly everyone including the college itself and especially the Benedictine sisters. They released a statement: The Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts college don’t believe this represents what the founders envisioned. Instead of promoting unity, his comments seem to foster division. One of our concerns was the assertion that being a homemaker is the highest calling for a woman. We sisters have dedicated our lives to God and God’s people including many women whom we have taught and influenced over the past 160 years.** The NFL has also spoke up to let us know these are not their views.** The only people afraid of a strong, financially independent and successful female, is men like this. And the only reason they are afraid is because it diminishes their power and their control. -Celeste Yvonne 
***** 
The International Court is requesting the arrest of Hamas leader Sinwar and Benjamin Netanyahu. Yes! ** What happened is not genocide. We reject that. -Joe Biden

On his visit to Biden : “The most legislatively successful President in my lifetime”. -Mark Hamill 
***** 
Trump only seems to pay attention in court when they are looking at clips of Trump .** Why do we have to hear about the gas and his general odor? ** I can see why the man looks up to President Jackson because this sounds familiar. “He assumed upon himself authority and power not conferred by the constitution and laws, but in derogation of both.” - Andrew Jackson’s Senate censure which was removed 3 years later. ** Does Fox news know how a trial works? They sure want special treatment for their boy. They kept up the mantra: “Is this America?” Yes, the process is working. Duh?!  ** Rod Blagojevich endorsed Trump. A bunch of the minions put on their red ties and showed up at the trial. J.D. Vance who once called out Trump is now one of the biggest VP wannabes. Is he a psychopath or did he also drink the flavor-aid? ** It seems that this is what it all comes down to. So many people think they can do any fucking thing they want with no consequences. Was he more influenced by Nietzsche or Cohn? ** As the defense began, witness Robert Costello was a smart ass to the judge and the courtroom was cleared. There is no respect for anyone. Trump vowed to testify but he did not. ** Eric was there every day and Don Jr. Showed up on the final day of testimony. On May 30, Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts. He will be sentenced in July. I know we’re all glad that he is starting to pay for his sins but we can’t drop the ball now. November is coming. **“I’m a very innocent man.” -Scary Clown 45/34. The trump trial is done and the Hunter Biden trial begins. ** Chad Daybell was also found guilty May 30, a great day for justice. 
***** 
Now that Trump has been found guilty, his cult members are angry. They do not seem to want to face reality. Why is violence always their answer? ** Justice has been served. Donald Trump is a racist, a homophobe, a grifter and a threat to this country. He can now add 1 more title to his list- a felon. - JB Pritzker ** People keep saying, “How can he run for President when he can’t even vote?” I do not understand this because from what I can tell, When a Florida resident is convicted, the state defers to the state the conviction came from. In NY, he CAN vote IF he is not incarcerated. But, I mean it’s time.. Lock him up. ** Social media went crazy with pics of Hillary outside the jail cell and gold Trump sneakers with ankle monitors. ** I wonder how many people in here have cars? - Trump 
***** 
Colbert called Trump’s campaign The complaining for Applause tour. ** DC Weekly is a publication out of Russia. It is said to be widely read by republicans. The paper loves to call the Truth Social crowd, “useful idiots.” When I hear Trump trying to make sense of what they, “believe,” It seems like wrestling with dementia. ** I nearly escaped death. - Trump ** I often think that the left gets so perplexed by some of the right is that this country should have progressed so much more by now. People should be much more educated now and with more knowledge there should be less racism and differences to fight over. There should be some common ideas we agree on but ignorance keeps that from happening. It is like the old slavers and successionists have just begat Trumpers. 
***** 
Truth Social lost $328 mil. ** So what is it? Is Biden a mastermind or is he a dottering old fool?  Trump claims both. ** Trump issued a cease and desist for the Trump movie that premiered at Cannes. Of course he did. The man lives for court! It will be great publicity. ** This is my country. This guy wants to destroy it. -Robert DeNiro

The Pace Program in Illinois is a new all -inclusive care for the elderly. The program, which should be available in June, will simplify access to services and prevent fragmented care. The elderly should be able to stay in their homes longer and things should be more streamlined. I sure hope this works because it can be a mess to get started in the system.

Richard Blumenthal informed us that Justice Alito had a ‘stop the steal’ sign at his house. He flew an upside- down flag outside his house in January along with other pro Trumpers to show support. Alito claims it was his wife (just like Menedez), retaliating against the Pro Biden neighbors. This is not the only flag that they flew. Other property flew the appeal to heaven flag. Dick Durbin has asked him to recuse himself from the Jan. 6 cases. He refuses! Pretty fucking unpatriotic Mr. Alito!! It figures that you would have no respect for our flag. ** Hey.. Thomas! Alito! Resign!! 
***** 
It turns out that RFK Jr. has a lifeless worm in his brain. A past divorce claimed he couldn’t earn much for the ex because of memory loss etc. from worm and mercury poisoning. Kevin Spacey and Rob Schneider have endorsed him. So... Candidates in their 80’s or in their 70’s with worm? What? ** RFK Jr. Says that he opposes gender affirming care and hormone therapy for minors. So.. Do you want the government in your life or not?? 
***** 
Joe Biden is holding back some weapons to Israel just as Reagan and Bush did before him. ** The State Department gave $275 mil in aid to Ukraine. ** Oreos are being made again in Ukraine after the factory was repaired.

The Florida Republicans wanted Barron Trump to be at the convention this year since he is 18. The Republican convention will be held in Milwaukee July 15-18. Scary Clown 45 gave his blessing but Melania’s camp said, “no.” Apparently, he has prior commitments. ** Mike Johnson and other court jesters showed up dressed like Trump to support him in court. Talk about showboating! ** Jeff Sessions was back in the news when Michael Cohen testified about trying to quash investigations into campaign contributions. ** Cohen was stealing from the Trump organization. Cohen still lives in a Trump building. What? 
***** 
Cannes brought controversy this year. Francis Ford Coppola with Megalopolis and Kevin Costner with Horizon have bet their own $ on their epics. Other films include The Apprentice, about a younger Trump that stars Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn. The film is having trouble finding a distributor. Bird and The Substance are getting lots of buzz! There is also Kinds of Kindness and All we Imagine as light. Meryl Streep and George Lucas received honorary awards. There are rumors that the French media would release a list of alleged abusive actors and directors. ** Black Dog won the Un Certain Regard, Anora won the Pale d’Or, the women of Emilia Perez won best actress and Jesse Plemons took best actor. Best screenplay went to the Substance. 
***** 
Red Lobster has filed for bankruptcy and closed dozens of stores. Everybody blames the endless shrimp. I am telling you, it’s the biscuits. Switching to using frozen and not fresh makes all the difference. Besides, middle of the road eateries are falling away.

If my uterus shot bullets, would you stop regulating it?? 
***** 
The late- night hosts make fun of local news that all repeat the same lines. The latest was,” I can’t believe it’s May1st.” I grew up with the people who said this stuff all the time. This generic dialogue really works for those people. I have never really understood those who say the same things every year, are surprised when the first snow comes or wonder at how it gets dark so early. These things should no longer be a surprise to adults! 
***** 
Kristi Noem seems to have gone down for killing animals. I guess there is a limit! ** Her book was changed before it even came out. She talked of meeting Kim Jong Un but she didn’t and won’t admit it but took it out of the book? What other lies are in there?  
***** 
Millie Bobby Brown married Jake Bongiovi. 
***** 
Natasha Lyonne will join the Fantastic Four.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot. 
***** 
Sexual assault news: Liam Neeson and others are starting to stick up for Kevin Spacey so he may come back. ** David C. Field has a new batch of allegations by 16 women. He has been accused of sexual abuse, lewd conduct, groping, drugging and rape. ** Video was released of Sean Combs beating and kicking Cassie Ventura. Big surprise.. Another lying abuser! ** Writer, producer Eric Weinberg has been charged with 28 counts of rape and sexual battery. 
***** 
The Met Gala came. The garden theme brought such interesting looks. Mindy Kaling and Demi Moore had such structure.  J Lo showed it all and Cardi B needed 10 men. My favorites were Zendaya, Bad Bunny, Gigi Hadid, La La Anthony, Nicole Kidman, Lana Del Ray, Ayo Edebiri, Usher, Lily James, Cole Escola, Kieran Culkin, Jazz Charton, Sydney Sweeney, Michelle Williams, Meg Ryan, Daniel Levy, Cynthia Erivo, Odell Beckham, Josh O’Conner and Sarah Paulson. Greta Gerwig looked so uncomfortable. Tyla was in sand!

AIR (2023)
Air is a 2023 American biographical sports drama film directed by Ben Affleck and written by Alex Convery. The film is based on true events about the origin of Air Jordan, a basketball shoeline, of which a Nike employee seeks to strike a business deal with rookie player Michael Jordan. It stars Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman, Marlon Wayans, Chris Messina, Chris Tucker and Viola Davis.
The project was announced in April 2022 with Affleck set to direct, as well as star and produce alongside Damon with their newly formed production company Artists Equity. Principal photography took place between June and July 2022 with Affleck reuniting with his frequent collaborators: cinematographer Robert Richardson and editor William Goldenberg. While Michael Jordan was not involved with the production, he did meet with Affleck, offering several suggestions, including the casting of Davis as his mother. Originally set to premiere on the streaming service Amazon Prime Video, distributor Amazon Studios opted to release the film theatrically first after positive test screenings, making it the first Amazon title since Late Night (2019) to be released in theaters without also premiering on Prime Video.
Air had its premiere at South by Southwest on March 18, 2023, and was released theatrically in the United States on April 5. The film received positive reviews from critics, particularly for Affleck's direction, Convery's screenplay and the performances of the cast, and has grossed $90 million worldwide on a budget of $70–90 million. The film also performed well on Amazon Prime Video streaming
Follows the history of shoe salesman Sonny Vaccaro, and how he led Nike in its pursuit of the greatest athlete in the history of sports: Michael Jordan.
Critics' reviews
"Ben Affleck Turns Nike’s Quest to Sign Michael Jordan Into This Generation’s ‘Jerry Maguire’ (…) Viola Davis is to acting what Jordan is to sports: Her strength inspires, and she can move us to tears while making it look easy. Peter Debruge: Variety
"Each actor gives a powerful and award winning performance. 'Air' is a slam dunk and ultimately one of the best sports movies ever made" Marisa Mirabal: IndieWire
"'Air' is year's best film so far (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" Richard Roeper: Chicago Sun-Times
"Affleck's directorial record is pretty impressive and 'Air' feels like his most inspired effort to date (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" Brian Truitt: USA Today
"In his fifth feature film, Affleck’s talents exceed expectations. He’s grown as an actor and director but is best when doing both." Valerie Complex: Deadline
"As always, Affleck remains one of the directors who can disguise a powerful parable as giddy, crowd-pleasing entertainment." Richard Whittaker: Austin Chronicle
"Ben Affleck’s ode to Michael Jordan is affectionate and involving, even when it fails to convince"

Was that [JACOB ANDERSON]? Oh no no, that was just [BARNEY STINSON], a [CANON CHARACTER] from [HIMYM]. They are [TWENTY-FIVE] years old, use [HE/HIM], and [ARE] aware that they are not actually from Washington DC. Too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.
Tumblr media
Welcome Barney Stinson to Washington D.C. The player from the West is coming to the other side of the world.
He has been in Washington D.C for like 4 months. 
He is working at the local law firm for business and banks. 
He is still an annoying player.
Love him.
Barney was born sometime between 1974 and 1976 and grew up in Staten Island.[2] In "Columns" set in 2007, Barney gives his age as 31 further confirming his birth year is 1976. In "The Drunk Train" Marshall states Barney is a Scorpio which places his birthday between October 23 - November 21, 1976.
Barney was raised by his single mother, Loretta Stinson, along with his older half-brother, James. As kids, James and Barney would often ask their mother why they were of different races (James is black), but she would lie or change the subject. Barney often asked who his father was. In a bid to get him to stop asking, she would claim it was TV show host Bob Barker, leaving Barney distracted by this possibility for years. On 23 July 1981, Barney's biological father, Jerome Whittaker, took Barney to the National History Museum, under the guise "Uncle Jerry". Then six-year-old Barney knocked down the blue whale hung from the museum's ceiling by throwing a triceratops' rib at it. When they returned home, Loretta was furious. Barney was told Jerry moved away permanently. The last words his uncle told him before he left were "Never stop partying".
Throughout his childhood, Barney was constantly lied to by his mother to protect his feelings; for example Barney was told by his mother that he couldn't play basketball because he was too good, and it wasn't fair for the other kids, but in reality, his coach knew Barney wasn't good enough for the team. Barney was not a popular child and was picked on. In seventh grade, Barney was bullied by Matthew Panning, who bragged about how he had sex with 100 girls. In response, Barney told Matthew Panning that he would one day sleep with 200 girls, a promise he eventually fulfills, much to adult Matthew's disgust. As Barney grew up in the city, he never learned how to drive and was terrified to do so. It was revealed in The Leap, that Barney had confessed to Lily at some point that, in his early life, he'd wanted to become a violinist.
In 1998, Barney had graduated college and was working with his girlfriend, Shannon, in a coffee shop. Barney had grown up to be a hippie. He had planned to join the Peace Corps and go to Nicaragua with Shannon. They reveal they planned to lose their virginity to one another only after they got married. After Shannon did not show up for their departure to Nicaragua, Barney returns to the coffee store. When she sees he's back, she tells him that her father, who was still financially supporting her, wouldn't allow her to leave and told him to go on without her. As Barney was leaving, he decided to go back to the coffee shop to try convince her one more time. When he returns, he discovered she was cheating on him with a businessman named Greg, who Barney had previously served as a customer, and who humiliated him for being a hippie. Greg tells Barney the key to picking up women is to have money and suits. Heartbroken, Barney films himself singing a song to convince Shannon to take him back, but she and Greg continue to humiliate him. Barney runs from the coffee shop distraught. As he walks alone crying, he is given a brochure about a suit sale. He adapts his dress style and dating personality to match that of Greg's, the man who took Shannon away from him. At an unknown time between 1998 and 2001, Barney quits his job at the coffee shop and becomes an employee of AltruCell Corporation, a highly corrupt corporation, while secretly working as an insider for the FBI. His work as a plant leads to Greg being arrested.
Barney gets advice from James
Barney goes to James for advice, sometime after losing Shannon. James tells Barney that he needs to lose his virginity and suggests that he loses it to their mother's 45-year-old friend Rhonda French, who would constantly talk about the guys she slept with in front of them and had the nickname "The Man Maker". Barney slept with Rhonda, losing his virginity at the age of 23.

Since I’m all up in my Jerry feels today...
This morning it occurred to me, Jerry was the child that was/ is exactly like Whit as we know him. From the little we get to see Jerry (and mostly in memories of Jerry), we see his  emotional and spiritual maturity. He handles things (The track coach, the riot, Plato) much like we see Whit do throughout the series.  
Jason, on the other hand, has always wanted to be like Jerry (HE SAID SO HIMSELF IN MEMORIES OF JERRY) and later like Whit, but we see time and time again he has attributes that keep him from that (his stubborn streak, his temper, his tendency to put his relationship with God on the back burner, THE AGENCY!) We know that Jason has a lot of similarities to Whit but i would say he’s lacking the maturity, self control, and discernment of Whit. Yet we also know from several episode that Whit had these struggles at times as well (IE The Boat People and when ever he talks about himself after Jerry’s Death)
So here’s the kicker...
Jerry grew up seeing Whit once he’s reached the stages of emotional and spiritual maturity. For Jerry, he modeled what he saw in his father.
Jason, grew up with Whit as a father after Jerry’s death. He grew up with a father that was mourning and let his stubbornness, hurt, and anger control him. A father who admitted to pulling away from his family after Jerry’s death. Jason also models what he saw in his father. 
In conclusion, Jason and Jerry are both versions of their father.

Aio Thought of the week
Was watching a Studio C sketch and it reminded me of this thing I made like a year ago.
Janna: I used the scientific method to gather information and data to determine 'Which Child Has The Most Favor In My Parent’s Eyes'
Banker friend: What were the results?
Janna: Not counting Jerry I came in fourth.
Banker Friend: Fourth? I thought Jason was your only other sibling?
Janna: He is.
Banker Friend: ... Oka-
Janna: But my dad has two part time employees working at his discovery emporium. They're polling ahead of me.
Banker Friend: Well, I suppose it could be worse.
Janna: Yeah, what I’m really worried about is possibly falling behind the two juvenile delinquents he just adopted.

I used to ask questions on here so let’s bring that back! Headcannons about AIO characters and if they sing? If so, what?
Thank you for the question. Love answering them. ♥️
From the show we know Buck, Jules, and Eugene do. Buck and Jules usually sing pop and some country. Eugene usually sings folk and country though he is expanding his catalog due to Buck and Katrina.
Tasha and Jason. They sing a little of everything. They were a major hit at the NSA’s Christmas party.
Katrina is also a good singer. Though she’s very bashful about it and makes it a point to not sing out in public regularly. Though some will on occasion hear her singing some show tunes as she’s a huge fan of musical theatre. At home she will also accompany Eugene who plays the ukulele and also sings on occasion. Many times they are joined by Buck and spend many happy hours together singing.
Whit, although not having the greatest voice, is a decent baritone and sings in a church choir (as we learned from the show). However, Jenny had a beautiful voice (which is where Jerry, Jana, and Jason got their talent from). She sang mostly Jazz, old love songs, and Christmas carols.

If i ever get around to designing Junior and Miracle, I imagine Mira inheriting the Whittaker bangs seen here:
Tumblr media
We already have artwork of Jason with that hairstyle so a girl Whittaker having one would be pretty funny.
Junior would have his mom's hair type but it'll be a few shades lighter. Both he and his sister would have blue eyes like their dad.
