[heteromerous-rhyming]

i'm unleashing my inner academic i'm so sorry all.

in "Pacific-Asian Immigrant and Refugee Women Who Kill Their Batterers: Telling Stories that Illustrate the Significance of Specificity" julia tolmie writes: the true significance of this evidence for the purpose of the accused's self-defence case is properly understood only when it is explicitly understood in light of her unique positioning.

this is an article written in 1997 and it details two trials - muy ky chhay, an immigrant woman from cambodia, and jai fong zhou, an immigrant woman from china. (if you're interested at all please give it a read, it's available for download if you search up the title) they were both put on trial for the murder or attempted murder of their husbands, their abusers. the article is compelling on a number of levels but one of the parts of this article that pierced me through was tolmie's centering of these women and their narratives and their testimonies. you can see throughout this article tolmie's commitment to foregrounding the stories of these women, you can see that she's done what she can to research and understand, to show them as individuals first. (i will never be sane about this, do you understand)

that is to say: riordan was much more radical twenty years ago.

i will not be comparing the cases of these women to sally jackson's fictional situation. that would diminish them, the reality of their cases.

but what i do want to do is use tolmie's methodology. i want to show the significance of specificity in sally jackson's case. tolmie organizes her article into sections, and i wanted to take a few of them to look at sally jackson. so. without further ado:

1. the accused's credibility

sally jackson has no family, no one to vouch for her. it is clear throughout the lightning thief that she's isolated - and this is in contrast to gabe, who is surrounded by his poker friends constantly. she got her diploma late because she couldn't finish high school due to needing to take care of her uncle with cancer, who then died leaving her with nothing. she was young when she had percy, and never married the man who fathered him.

in the eyes of this world, sally jackson would be often overlooked, dismissed, disdained. she wanted to be a novelist, she had passion and ambition, but these were beaten down by the world. she barely got her high school degree, there's no chance that she, a single mother, gets a high paying job, so she's working at a candy shop. a job that whether or not she enjoys was not what she'd worked towards. audre lorde speaks about the difficulty of working women to write novels in "age, race, class, and sex" because of the material demands of that process. sally jackson cannot write a novel - she's working a job that cannot possibly pay her enough for her and percy to survive in new york and she's a single mother caring for a child that the schools will often describe as "a troubled kid."

not only that - sally jackson finds it difficult to make friends, because percy is not a normal child. he's a demigod. those first few years, though we don't know much about them, must have been terrifying. she's in contact with camp, chiron probably advises her to give up her son so they can stop attracting monsters, but she refuses. she calls this choice selfish. but it is so increasingly clear that percy is one of the only bright and joyful parts left in her life, that percy is who she lives for.

she chose percy. chose to raise him, chose to protect him, chose to keep him close.

2. evidence of the deceased's violence

gabe ugliano (the name is on the nose and i'm living for it) is the manager of the electronics mega-mart in queens (i have no clue what this company is but ok) he clearly has more money than sally, and i would venture to assume that the lease for the apartment is also in his name (though i also assume that sally is paying for a good amount of that apartment). that is to say, gabe has significantly more power and "respectability" in the eyes of society than sally. he's probably the reason that they're financially afloat. despite all of this, despite the fact that gabe has a clearly expensive car, he does not ever offer to cover sally's financial situation. she's still working a likely minimum wage job even though it is probably that gabe could support all three of them with his.

it is evident, from percy's first interaction with him in the books, that gabe is financially controlling and greedy. he's not stupid (at least in this regard); he works out (with an ease that implies habit) exactly how much money percy likely has. and then he takes it. it is likely that gabe also does this to sally. it is likely that he knows exactly how much money sally makes and regularly attempts to control how much she can save (think: the money for montauk came out of sally's "clothes budget"). he restricts her movement ("my mom and I hadn’t been to montauk the last two summers, because gabe said there wasn’t enough money.")

when sally returns from the underworld, gabe forces her to work to make up for the month's salary she "lost."

this is also when percy realizes that gabe hits his mother. canonically, gabe physically abuses sally. can we assume that maybe sally has been taking hits for percy? perhaps. it is clear that percy didn't realize that gabe was physically violent towards his mother, so i assume that gabe never hit percy. we don't know the extent of his physical violence. we don't need to; regardless sally jackson is in a situation where that threat of physical violence is constantly hanging over her head.

3. the accused's options in dealing with the deceased's violence

sally stays with gabe because of a myriad of reasons, most relating to what i have described above in section 2 but also, crucially, because of the protection he offers percy due to his smell.

sally isn't weak-willed. she isn't irrational. she might plead with percy to not antagonize gabe, but that's survival instinct. she understands pretty clearly her situation.

she knows how difficult it is for a single mother to survive on her own with a child. she knows how impossible it would be to do so with a child of the big three, without combat skills, without the disguise of humanness. perhaps she's resigned herself to the fact that there is no other way. perhaps she thinks that this is punishment for keeping percy close.

she cannot divorce him; he'd oppose that, and he has the financial means to hire a lawyer. and after divorce, where would she go? without the means to support herself and percy, without a support network, what options does she have?

she cannot leave, cannot call the police. she still needs to take care of percy, she still needs a place to stay.

and yet, despite all of this, at the end of the book sally makes the choice to kill gabe. she takes back agency into her own hands, and despite the financial uncertainty, despite all of the reasons that she couldn't leave, she takes her life into her own hands. not only that, but his death leads to her financial liberation.

perhaps this was due to percy finally ending up at camp, finally having that concrete safety net to fall back on. perhaps this was because gabe threatened to call the police on percy, perhaps this was because gabe fueled the terrorist accusations, perhaps any number of things.

all this to say. somehow, riordan, a white cis man, twenty years ago, managed to capture in sally jackson something real. he managed to show the structural inequities that she faced, her lack of options, and gabe's abuse in a book meant for children. in a book meant for twelve-year-olds.

and this was without explicitly showing any physical violence from gabe.

sally jackson's story is engaging because we understand somehow, despite the majority of us condemning murder, why she killed her abuser. we understand that this isn't just a toxic relationship, that this isn't a situation that sally can just leave, that both real and fantastical forces combined compel her to stay, and we cheer for her.

i want to end this unfortunately long post with a quote from tolmie, from the article i started off with:

"It has been suggested that women rarely succeed in arguing self-defense because legal doctrines and notions of what is "reasonable" do not encompass the realities of women's lives."

what better way than to break this doctrine of "reasonability" through the lens of a fantasy world.

The bustling streets of Paris left not much room to wander and yet somehow Julia managed to make her way through the crowd, sighing as she finally reached to board a carriage relaxing against the seating as she adjusted the shopping bags around her.                                                                                                                                      

Julia sighed dreamily at the warmth welcoming her in the hall as she took off her cape, placing her bags in the kitchen before she made her way upstairs, toward the library, she did her best to open the door as noiselessly as possible, a small smile curled on her lips as she caught sight of Jean hunched over the table surrounded by a bunch of letters, some of them still closed he opened with practised hands, the amber gem on the small paper knife betraying the owner of it that also happened to be the recipient of all that correspondence, no one less than her own uncle Le Comte de Saint Germain know far and above the high society of Paris, unlike her ever the outcast known only by the residents of that peculiar mansion.

A bitterness took hold in her heart as she shot him a last glance not desiring to disturb his fiancèe she turned her back to the door determined to go away, but while her fingers closed on the doorknob a voice pulled her out of her reveries. 

“Julia.”

“Jean.”

Like a child caught red handed she turned to look up at him, meeting his usually listless eye now crinkled with affection focused on her.

“What are you doing here ?”

“You see I …” 

Julia’s fingers kept fidgeting with the lace of her blouse, a gesture that betrayed how anxious she was, at the prospect to meet him and possibly bother him, not waiting for an answer Jean wrapped his arms around, tightening his grip when he felt her fingers ever so shily clutch her shirt.

“I didn’t want to bother you.” 

“You could never.”

“It’s only …”

“Julia.” 

Reading between the lines of her anxiety Jean took her face in his hands, brushing his thumb on the apple of her cheeks leaning in until their lips were but a few inches apart from one another before whispering softly. 

“Je t’aime avec tout mon coeur”

“Moi aussi.”

Her voice was no more than a murmur, a shyness he unwillingly didn’t help but deepen with his harsh behaviour he was ashamed of, perceiving that shift in his mood she leaned her head on his chest, looking up at him caressing his chest.

“Stay …” 

The gentleness in her voice was enough to make him obey her order, as ever he would have for her, gently he placed a kiss on her hair bathing in the light giggle rolling from her tongue.

“Jean.”

“Oui.” 

The way she bit her bottom lip to hide her nervousness was such an adorable quirk he couldn't help but smile.

“What do you wish to tell me, mon amour ?”

The sweet nickname was enough to make a small smile curl her lips as she gazed up at him, trailing her fingers on the buttons of his shirt to hide her anxiety.

“We are under a mistletoe.” 

“We are ?”

His deep blue eyes widened with surprise as he looked up at the door, a shy smile on his lips as he turned to look at her, an adorable blush on his cheeks she didn’t shy away from mirroring, welcoming the gentleness of his nose as it brushed on hers.

“Don’t tell me that’s a kiss.”

Julia was the first to jump, meeting a pair of deep amber eyes staring at them, a light frown on his lips as he sighed heavily before leaning back against the shelves.

“I think you should show her your true feelings figliolo, nothing good comes from hiding them.”

“Leonardo.” 

Julia's voice was unusually stern as she looked at the man placidly slumping on the carpet now staring at them, moving his hand back and forth as to elicit them to give him a good show.

“It’s not necessary really.” 

Her gaze trailed down before he cupped her cheek in his hand, looking into her eyes.

“It would make you happy … Julia.”

She looked at him, conveying with her eyes what in words she couldn’t before they too at last trailed on her digits curled on his chest, with no hesitation he brushed his rough thumb on the apple of her cheek, revelling in the way her lips fluttered with each breath begging him for a kiss, a lingering shyness in being watched remained only to melt like snow in spring as his lips planed on hers, it was far from their first kiss and yet each time it felt like their first, taking him in with how soft her lips were, perfectly matching his,  her tongue compliant when entwined with his, the gentle pressure of her body underneath him, the way her generous breasts melt against his muscular chest, enough to make him dizzy as her fingers tightened on his shirt and his rough digits sank into the softness of her hips.

Reluctantly they broke off the kiss only to stare into each other eyes, a storm of feelings swam in hers, affection, love, anxiety, fear, the last two something he never wanted to see and yet aware that he was the one to have elicited them, a strained smile on her lips as she gazed up at him waiting for something he was never gonna give her … loathe.

In an attempt to placate her racing mind and ease the doubts in her heart he took her in his arms, one hand going to cup her face making it so he was able to look into her gaze as he spoke.

“I love you Julia, so much, truly, madly I do.”

His words seemed to be enough to reassure her anxiety, he saw it in the pure bright smile curling on her lips as she leaned closer to him.

“I love you too Jean so very much.”

A soft smile on her lips as he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, revelling in her light giggle, soon melting into a dreamy sigh as he took her hand in his, placing a reverent kiss full of devotion on her knuckles looking up at her with a pleading gaze, only to be greet by sight that set his heart race madly in his chest, for nothing in the world could have ever compared to her beauty, her chartreuse eyes overflowing with affection, so much to drip off her lips, curled in a tender smile.

How would the band dress up for Halloween? (And would Daisy be successful in convincing Billy that there's cocaine in his candy so he'll give it all to her?)

gahh i adore this anon! i surprisingly never thought of it all before. you have opened my eyes,, i need more daisy requests! feel free to send others my way<3

the band on halloween + camila hcs ,

trigger warnings: mild mentions of drugs and abandonment

• daisy,

she’s never gotten to celebrate halloween before. she only remembers her father shooing off individuals knocking on her door for candy

admittedly, the thought excited her. trying something new. and getting candy out of it??

daisy would go as wendy darling. peter pan was one of daisy’s favourite movies when she was younger. the thought of flying was something that excited her. following a star and going to another land to escape. some nights, she would even leave the window open for ‘peter’ — only to wake up with a cold. she doesn’t do much with her hair, only adds a big bow

• billy,

he definitely didn’t want to do anything in the first place. the whole idea seemed ridiculous, and it possibly reminded him of how his father took him trick or treating a few times

but camila would use the excuse ‘for julia’. and he would give in.

billy would go as a cowboy. he finds spare bits for the costume around his house, wears worn boots from years ago that definitely make him trip a few times.. (daisy wouldn’t miss out teasing him).. camila is thrilled, even going to get him a bandana to add to his outfit. he can’t refuse, she looks too proud

• camila,

she would be way too excited. it’s an excuse to have company over (poor baby). i would say if there were a party, she would host it

she would go full out for everyone. decorations, food, etc. she wants to make it memorable, hoping the others would want to come again</3

camila would go as a sunflower. the idea is basic, but it’s camila! she makes it work. she makes herself a tutu, a glittery yellow one. her shirt has a well-drawn sunflower on it. she also wears a flower crown to top it all off. she dresses julia in a butterfly costume to match her !!

• eddie,

it’s not really a surprise to hear how eddie would go full out. not for the right reasons (unless..).

he gets candy. he gets to party without a worry. and most importantly, he gets to scare innocent children who he happened to see

so, due to all of this, i could see him going as a vampire. or at least, that’s his goal. he would wear a cheap tuxedo with even cheaper vampire teeth. warren had to add fake blood, so it was not exactly. the best appearance wise . but both of them are proud of it, and that’s what’s important right? right??

• karen,

she was hesitant at first. but certainly did not need as much convincing as billy did. camila was hosting, so of course she has to go for her. and seeing how giddy this ordeal was making daisy, there was no way she could refuse

she did not exactly want to spend much on a costume. so daisy and her go out shopping together, for the redhead would not allow an excuse

karen goes as a deer. she finds cat ears at the store and paints them brown. they were definitely meant for children. she finds pipe cleaners last second and shapes them to be mini antlers, since the ears were a bit to triangular. karen does her makeup and adds lil white spots over her face. daisy insists she adds a black spot for a nose. karen refuses.

• graham,

unlike billy, graham is excited to go. he does not remember much of halloween, it’s a vague memory. he did recall begging billy to take him a few times, though

even if he’s excited out of his mind, it takes him a bit to find a costume. he’d be worried about going too far, or too little

so, he pries and asks billy what he’s going as. he tells him right away, and from then graham decides he’s going as a pirate. it’s close to a cowboy, in his opinion. he would not have to spend much either. graham buys a prop sword that he breaks almost immediately due to wrestling with warren

• warren,

he’s very much neutral about it all. but he’s easy to convince when it came to these things, so he went along without much of a second thought

eddie and him plan on matching in some way. they bounce back and forth on ideas

and in the end, they couldn’t agree on anything similar. warren decides to go as a pirate, accidentally matching with graham. he uses his drum stick as a sword prop. and that’s how graham’s plastic one broke

— ,, and finally, the part you’ve been waiting for — yes, daisy is a manipulative little thing (we love her anyway) and knows how to get her way with many situations. that was why she would claim billy’s candies were laced. but he would see through this to her disappointment. she’d hate how much he knew her then

but despite this, that doesn’t mean she goes without anything. once set on something, daisy does not relent. she would stuff his candy in her bra without him looking. resourceful, perhaps?

( wayyy overdue but completed😁👍🏾)

I LIKE MY TOWN

continuing on IMMEDIATELY from my last ILMT thing

here are some of my scanned sketches, which i very messily lined over (something something "its my art style!") which i wanted to include in my work as a sort of collage with the some more ephemera i had from the shopping complex.

some ephemera: candy wrappings (they're SUAR good...) + a poster off the wall that hadn't been taken off properly

(my ~expanded~ idea around my typography before & after adding some of my scanned sketches in the background - i really liked how this drawing turned out! ^^)

thoughts on ephemera collaging - i love thinking ❤️

several scans of my work with & without the ephemera included - this picture goes crazy dont it. i wanted to do collaging because i have always liked the texture that collaged imagery has 😊

as part of the aim of this project, i did some printing YAYYYYYYYY !!!! i really enjoyed monoprinting but since it was my first time, i made some mistakes which ended up giving me some super messy results (a friend in yr3 stopped by and told me it was probably because i forgot to blot away excess ink - of course i did 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂)

my scanned monoprint outcomes - i LOVE the one on the right; i think the colour combinations are very effective. on these i did try to add my drawings but because of my errors they are way too noisy to make anything out. to save myself the trouble i just left them as they are.

for an alternative outcome, i also did some linocut printing too. (from home, my bedroom this time so my cat is here too. bro sleeping like he spent hours hunched over carving letters into rubber just for the print to come out backwards - crazy.)

here are my linocut outcomes! on the right is my first result, a very very cruel realisation that i did EVERYTHING wrong ⚰️but i did lke the effect. in the centre is a very scruffy transfer print that i made with the tracing paper (left) i used as a guide for the typography. i really like the effect of the overlapping results but i wasnt sure what i could do with it with the time i had (not much !! lmfao !!!!)

this is the scanned result of my original linocut - which was backwards; i flipped it in photoshop. was project would have been awesome if i didnt miss that one printmaking induction - everything went downhill from there im being so serious😓

thanks ENDLESSLY to my buddies star and julia for their respective feedback!!!

Once when we were rehearsing "Yes It Is" , our performance was interrupted having gotten the best curiosity of some young girls, in appointed time their knock fell upon our door & lo & behold our looks had them turn away immediately as if witnessing Marilyn from The Munsters. 2. Jennifer Juniper Donovan ballad goes punk. 3. Lalena Donovan's ode to a prostitute dressed up in punk regalia. 4. Mannequin Baby Also know as "Are You A Mannequin Baby?" In 1977 Dennis & I had written a song called "The Ultimate Mannequin Destination". Between November of 1978 & July of 1979 I worked at  Woolworths, a department store as a Warehouse Manager. Somewhere around that time "Mannequin Baby" was formed out of my recalling the Mannequins (companions) I would ride down with in the freight elevator  at work. Primarily a Dennis composition, I sing with some added "Customer assistance to Sporting Goods", "Marion to the lower checkout" , "Lingerie line 2 O"  overheard daily voicings over the intercom, thrown in to boot.

Mannequin Baby

Everytime I look up your dress Are you a mannequin baby? Mannequin baby

Let's go to bed, Let's have some fun What if I get a pregnant?Mannequin pregnant

Hey don't you know that I love you You know that I will be true

Everytime I shop & save I meet a mannequin baby Mannequin baby

Now you're stuck in lingerie Are you a mannequin baby? Mannequin baby

Have you got rocks in your head,  hey you I see you standing in the window at Woolworth's Thats you, that's you, that's you, that's you, that's you

Lingerie line 2 O, lingerie line 2 O Customer assistance to Sporting goods Marion to the lower checkout Marion to the lower checkout Marion, Marion

Are you a mannequin baby? Mannequin baby Mannequin baby
