Neville and Florence. Death in Paradise.

[anliafail]

NEVILLE & FLORENCE in DEATH IN PARADISE | 13.07 (2024)

[bonobochick]

It took several seasons over a few years... starting with S10 and ending in S13.... but Death In Paradise gave viewers a proper ending to the love story of Florence & Neville. 💗

He fell in love with her during S10 and when he confessed his feelings in S11, she told him that saw him as just a friend. Or so she thought. Still grieving her fiancé who was murdered in S8, Florence went in to witness protection partway through S11 after an undercover sting and emerged again towards the end of S13 in which she admitted that she missed Neville more than she thought she would and realized her feelings for him were deeper than she initially understood them to be. Florence & Neville sailed off together after a reunion hiccup to travel the world on an adventure and build a foundation as something more. 🥰 The Floreville shipper in me was happy that they got a HFN / HEA send off together from the show after years of build up.

for: @deputyjparker time: after dodgeball

To ever expect this to be a normal game was a foolish thing. As fun as it had started off, it quickly became something that had the potential to turn into a blood bath at the rate the vampires seemed to be going. Still, he held onto that sliver of hope that the coalition could do some damage but he ought to have known that the damage would be dealt instead. He managed to hit a one on the opposing side through sheer dumb luck, but there ended the high and began the pathway to completely needing to dodge and avoid getting pummelled. It did not last. One after another he saw his teammates getting struck out, and eventually he soon followed suit, because of course he would. Land-based sports were never his strength, while he wasn't uncoordinated or even unathletic, clumsiness reared its ugly regardless. Rubbing his sore shoulder Jonah hobbled to a spot where he'd be further away from the intensity of the game and slumped against the back wall holding his glasses in hand. While he was ever so thankful that the lens didn't break, the severely bent shape gave him no relief but really it was his own fault, he should've expected this. Caught up in trying to adjust them back to a wearable shape, Jonah missed the footsteps approach till feet stood in from of him. Looking up then, he gave Jo a sheepish smile, "Sorry, I was terrible out there. I think this just proves I need to sign up for more classes, right?"

Abraham Josephine Riesman wrote the definitive essay on the various complicated issues of Spider-Man having Jewish roots here.

The short answer is that doing so privileges Stan Lee as a creator of Spider-Man more than the atheist gentile Ditko (who is documented to have a greater say on the character). And furthermore Lee in his life on multiple occasions walked away from all forms of expressions and associations of Jewishness, upto having his daughter baptised as an Episcopalian, an action that broke his observant father's heart.

alright so during into the spider-verse's introduction to peter b. parker, we see his wedding, and he stomps on the wine glass right? this is a jewish wedding tradition, which makes this version of peter parker jewish (further confirmed in interviews -- however, i believe this is enough by itself). it's a nice nod to the jewish roots of the character.

we get to see a bunch of peter parkers throughout the spider-verse films, and none of them have any explicit religious associations like peter b. parker. except for one!

here we have gwen stacy's peter parker and aunt may, from earth-65, saying grace over a meal. from my understanding, this is generally a christian practice -- in judaism, we prefer to say short prayers before eating, and save the long, in-depth ones for afterwards. so to me, this was a clear example of the character being coded as christian. i was a little disappointed that they didn't make peter parker jewish here too, but since across the spider-verse discusses variants and the differences between instances of the same person between different universes, i interpreted this as a continued commentary on peter parker's ethnicity -- although he was initially jewish-coded and one of his two creators, stan lee, is jewish, this is often erased, especially in more modern interpretations of the character.

and then i remembered that this peter parker also literally turns into the lizard.

and y'know what? good call on that one guys.

revisiting the Parkers for Josephine’s high school graduation!! look at them all grown up…

[missautumn]

"It's fine, sweetheart." Jo dismissed Jamie's flip with a smile. "We all say it's just a friend and then end up with a baby of said friend. Just make sure you wait for the baby 'till you're a bit older." She smiled and blew the younger Parker a kiss. "You're quite grown up already, though, so no need to warn you about that." She told Morgan afterwards but made sure her eyes also focused on Simon, hadn't she said he was a friend besides her boss, too?

When more people started coming Simon was relieved to step out of the attention, it hadn't bothered him until babies allegations, babies with Morgan if he caught correctly on that, were threw her way. "You probably need a sports person." Josephine quipped in. "A hockey player! They can surely take your physical and emotional aggression." She joked. "We can ask Alex later, I'm assuming he's coming."

missautumn​:

“Well, damn, count me in! I mean, we’ve been shamelessly talking about how sad it’d bee without Mol here this time.” Josephine confessed, not that the rest of the family members didn’t know by now. “The in-laws team is back at it’s original number! Now we’re missing Raina to join in.” She winked at Jamie. “And…” Her eyes quickly drifted to Simon before winking to Morgan. “Anyway, yeah. I’m tired of being the favorite in-law. Need a break.” She let out a dramatic sigh.

…

“Yeah well she’s going to be around and I don’t intend to let her go this time. I do however, plan to mess with my sister as much as possible.” He enjoyed it far too much, though he meant what he said about keeping Molly around where he could. Maybe he’d even already started looking at rings for when they were really on steady ground again. He laughed when Jamie flipped Jo off, he’d figure out shit at his own pace.

Morgan kicked under the table, aiming for Jo and shrugging when she hit Alexei instead, her brother giving her a look. “There’s nine of us, you should focus your energy on the other six.” Her words seemed to be the magic words when the doors opened and they were joined by Saige and Ella. “For instance, I don’t think El has dated since the Great Depression.” Laughing as she was flipped off.

“Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a man who isn’t intimidated by a woman who could break their arm in a heartbeat?” Ella teased.

Josephine's universe version of Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker, MJ and Eddie Brock.

I'll most likely draw more of other characters like Norman Osborn but maybe when the mood strikes.

Curtis parent headcanons but they lowkey suck

• Going off of the names SE Hinton gave them Karen Josephine Curtis & Darrel Curtis Sr

• THE high school sweethearts ever

• Karen actually isn’t from Tulsa, her family moved there from California the summer before junior year

• They had math together and that’s how they met

• Okay and hear me out on this one, Karen came from a wealthy family 😱(I know, I know shocking)

• It was Karen, her mom, her dad, and her little brother Cooper

• Darrel sr came from an underclass family, his dad and mom and 4 sisters, he was the baby of the family

• No one and I mean NO ONE called Darrel by his first name, he was solely adressed by his middle name, Parker (I refuse that he has the same middle name as Darry jr)

• Once the two started dating he started calling her by her middle name as a pet name, so they were Josie and Parker all throughout highschool

• Her parents did NOT like him, hated that they were dating, hated that he was lower class, hated him

• Anyways the two dated all throughout highschool and eventually eloped when they were 18

• Josie’ family entirely cut contact and she couldn’t see her brother anymore

• Parker’s parents were angry but eventually forgave him

• They had Darry a year later. he was not planned in anyway shape or form (sorry Darry 😔)

• Josie named him because throughout her and Parker dating she had always said she loved the name Darrel and he would always laugh it off, he was fine being just Parker, so when the baby was born she named him Darrel almost to prove a point

• All throughout the pregnancy and first few years of Darry being born they lived with one of Parker’s sisters

• Eventually Darrel was able to get a job as a roofer (foreshadowing) and they were able to afford a house of their own with some help from his family

• Soda was born a few years later when they were more prepared to have kids and then a few years later they had ponyboy

• Josie had to work throughout pretty much all of this, she was a checker at a grocery store

• Their life stayed the same throughout the next few years until the boys started making friends

• By the time darry was 15 they had around five boys always in the house at once

• Josie loved it, she had always wanted a big family

• Parker just missed how loud bigger family’s could be

• Their house basically became the safe haven of the neighborhood, no one hated the Curtis parents, cops, upper-class adults, kids, no one

Quincy Jones, dies aged 91

Widely and wildly talented musician and industry mogul worked with Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Will Smith and others

Quincy Jones, a titan of American entertainment who worked with stars from Frank Sinatra to Michael Jackson and Will Smith, has died aged 91.

Jones’ publicist, Arnold Robinson, said he died on Sunday night at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles, surrounded by his family.

“Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing,” the family said in a statement. “And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.”

Jones was arguably the most versatile pop cultural figure of the 20th century, perhaps best known for producing the albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad for Michael Jackson in the 1980s, which made the singer the biggest pop star of all time. Jones also produced music for Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Donna Summer and many others.

He was also a successful composer of dozens of film scores, and had numerous chart hits under his own name. Jones was a bandleader in big band jazz, an arranger for jazz stars including Count Basie, and a multi-instrumentalist, most proficiently on trumpet and piano. His TV and film production company, founded in 1990, had major success with the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and other shows, and he continued to innovate well into his 80s, launching Qwest TV in 2017, an on-demand music TV service. Jones is third only to Beyoncé and Jay-Z for having the most Grammy award nominations of all time – 80 to their 88 each – and is the awards’ third most-garlanded winner, with 28.

Among the tributes to Jones was one from actor Michael Caine, who was born on the same day as Jones: 14 March 1933. “My celestial twin Quincy was a titan in the musical world,” Caine wrote. “He was a wonderful and unique human being, lucky to have known him.”

Playwright and actor Jeremy O Harris paid tribute to Jones’s “limitless” contributions to US culture, writing: “What couldn’t he do? Quincy Jones, literally born when the limits on how big a black boy could dream were unfathomably high, taught us that the limit does not exist.”

Jones was born in Chicago. His half-white father had been born to a Welsh slave owner and one of his female slaves, while his mother’s family were also descended from slave owners. His introduction to music came through the walls of his childhood home from a piano played by a neighbour, which he started learning aged seven, and via his mother’s singing.

His parents divorced and he moved with his father to Washington state, where Jones learned drums and a host of brass instruments in his high-school band. At 14, he started playing in a band with a 16-year-old Ray Charles in Seattle clubs, once, in 1948, backing Billie Holiday. He studied music at Seattle University, transferring east to continue in Boston, and then moved to New York after being rehired by the jazz bandleader Lionel Hampton, with whom he had toured as a high-schooler (a band for which Malcolm X was a heroin dealer when they played in Detroit).

In New York, one early gig was playing trumpet in Elvis Presley’s band for his first TV appearances, and he met the stars of the flourishing bebop movement including Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. (Years later, in 1991, Jones conducted Davis’s last performance, two months before he died.)

Jones toured Europe with Hampton, and spent much time there in the 1950s, including a period furthering his studies in Paris, where he met luminaries including Pablo Picasso, James Baldwin and Josephine Baker. At the age of 23, he also toured South America and the Middle East as Dizzy Gillespie’s musical director and arranger. He convened a crack team for his own big band, touring Europe as a way to test Free and Easy, a jazz musical, but the disastrous run left Jones, by his own admission, close to suicide and with $100,000 of debt.

He secured a job at Mercury Records and slowly paid off the debt with plenty of work as a producer and arranger for artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Peggy Lee, Sarah Vaughan and Sammy Davis Jr. He also began scoring films, his credits eventually including The Italian Job, In the Heat of the Night, The Getaway and The Color Purple. (He produced the last of these, which was nominated for 11 Oscars, three for Jones himself.) In 1968, he became the first African American to be nominated for best original song at the Oscars, for The Eyes of Love from the film Banning (alongside songwriter Bob Russell); he had seven nominations in total. For TV, he scored programmes such as The Bill Cosby Show, Ironside and Roots.

His work with Sinatra began in 1958 when he was hired to conduct and arrange for Sinatra and his band by Grace Kelly, princess consort of Monaco, for a charity event. Jones and Sinatra continued working on projects until Sinatra’s final album, LA Is My Lady, in 1984. Jones’s solo musical career took off in the late 1950s, recording albums under his own name as bandleader for jazz ensembles that included luminaries such as Charles Mingus, Art Pepper and Freddie Hubbard.

Jones once said of his time in Seattle: “When people write about the music, jazz is in this box, R&B is in this box, pop is in this box, but we did everything,” and his catholic tastes served him well as modern pop mutated out of the swing era. He produced four million-selling hits for the New York singer Lesley Gore in the mid-60s, including the US No 1 It’s My Party, and later embraced funk and disco, producing hit singles including George Benson’s Give Me the Night and Patti Austin and James Ingram’s Baby Come to Me, along with records by the band Rufus and Chaka Khan, and the Brothers Johnson. Jones also released his own funk material, scoring US Top 10 albums with Body Heat (1974) and The Dude (1981).

His biggest success in this style was his work with Michael Jackson: Thriller remains the biggest selling album of all time, while Jones’s versatility between Off the Wall and Bad allowed Jackson to metamorphose from lithe disco to ultra-synthetic funk-rock. He and Jackson (along with Lionel Richie and producer Michael Omartian) also helmed We Are the World, a successful charity single that raised funds for famine relief in Ethiopia in 1985. “I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him,” Jones said when Jackson died in 2009. In 2017, Jones’s legal team successfully argued that he was owed $9.4m in unpaid Jackson royalties, though he lost on appeal in 2020 and had to return $6.8m.

After the success of The Color Purple in 1985, he formed the film and TV production company Quincy Jones Entertainment in 1990. His biggest screen hit was the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which ran for 148 episodes and launched the career of Will Smith; other shows included the LL Cool J sitcom In the House and the long-running sketch comedy show MadTV.

He also created the media company Qwest Broadcasting and in 1993, the Black music magazine Vibe in partnership with Time Inc. Throughout his career he supported numerous charities and causes, including the , National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Jazz Foundation of America and others, and mentored young musicians including the British multiple Grammy winner Jacob Collier.

Jones’ illustrious career was twice nearly cut short: he narrowly avoided being killed by Charles Manson’s cult in 1969, having planned to go to Sharon Tate’s house on the night of the murders there, but Jones forgot the appointment. He also survived a brain aneurysm in 1974 that prevented him from playing the trumpet again in case the exertion caused further harm.

Jones was married three times, first to his high-school girlfriend Jeri Caldwell, for nine years until 1966, fathering his daughter Jolie. In 1967, he married Ulla Andersson and had a son and daughter, divorcing in 1974 to marry actor Peggy Lipton, best known for roles in The Mod Squad and Twin Peaks. They had two daughters, including the actor Rashida Jones, before divorcing in 1989. He had two further children: Rachel, with a dancer, Carol Reynolds, and Kenya, his daughter with actor Nastassja Kinski.

He never remarried, but continued to date a string of younger women, raising eyebrows with his year-long partnership with 19-year-old Egyptian designer Heba Elawadi when he was 73. He has also claimed to have dated Ivanka Trump and Juliette Gréco. He is survived by his seven children.

Other artists paying tribute included LL Cool J, who wrote: “You were a father and example at a time when I truly needed a father and example. Mentor. Role model. King. You gave me opportunities and shared wisdom. Music would not be music without you.” Femi Koleoso, bandleader with Mercury prize-winning jazz group Ezra Collective, called Jones a “masterful musician and beautiful soul”.

Bracket Be Upon Ye

This was really hard to seed because I know half of them will be eliminated round 1 but I don't really want any of them to lose lol. I ended up deciding to dedicate entire quarters to (mostly) yaoi or (mostly) yuri, with yaoi and yuri only going up against each other starting in the semifinals. This is just because most of the yaoi pairings are more popular and if I seeded solely on popularity most of the yuri would be eliminated immediately.

(I'm not trying to misgender Raine, and I'm not gonna label that specific pairing "yaoi" or "yuri"; it's just their partner is a woman and there's no easy way to split up the contestants otherwise.)

Round 1 on the left side will start Sunday, July 23. Matches will start being posted at 10:00 AM CST (15:00 UTC) and last for a week. Right side will be next week after the left side concludes.
