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.

@taznovembercelebration sweet

“That music store guy hates my guts,” Taako announces, to no one in particular. You know, for the good of the order. Taako update from Taako central. “I’m either gonna kiss him or kill him.”

“If you’re going to verb him at all, I suggest ignore,” Barry replies dryly. 

“Oh, I’m gonna verb him, alright.” 

There’s a chorus of disgusted reactions. Taako doesn’t let it get him down. 

“He’s gorgeous, for one, and plays the guitar, which is both a selling point but also a drawback.”

“Does he get good gas mileage?” Lup hollers from the back, where she’s chopping image candies at light speed. Barry is watching her around the corner and rearranging the gummy shelf meticulously, again. Oh no, the gummy pizza is out of alignment. Whatever will the gummy rat the size of a burrito the size of a baby do. 

“This is just like that one musical where the two people that love each other can’t be together,” Taako miserates, staring out the window. 

“Mhm,” Julia says. “The one,” snicker, “The, the one-”

“Yeah, Jules, you know, the only musical that ever had love in it.” Taako puts his hands on his hips. “Too many people work at this fucking candy store.”

“Some of us work at the fucking soda shop portion, sir,” Angus pipes up. “Besides, I thought you were rivals with the music store guy, whose name is actually Kravitz!” 

“How did you know that, Abner.” Taako turns very slowly and dramatically. Everybody else would be sick of his bullshit, if anything else was going on, but it’s like one thirty on a Wednesday and they’re all sort of fucking off here. “What devil sacrifice did you make.”

“Only the devil sacrifice what taught me how to read,” Angus deadpans. Teens. “He wears a nametag, because he works in a store.”

“And?” Taako points at his own. “My name is clearly Julius Sleazor. You know, like the Pokemon.” 

“Scizor?” Barry pushes up his glasses and makes a face. 

“Kleavor, maybe?” Angus counters, like it’s running commentary rather than word noises Taako can hear with his ear cavities. 

“No, I’m right,” Taako affirms. “Anyway, he can barely look at me. And he did that thing guys do when they ask what music you listen to so they can say they like better stuff.” 

“Ew,” Lup says, wiping her hands and joining the rest of them. “Bear, your gummies aren’t symmetrical. But anyway, are you sure that’s why?”

“Yeah, maybe he just wanted to know what you’re into.” Julia shrugs. She taps a drum solo on the counter with the pens that look like lollipops, you know, for signing receipts. And getting super duper stolen but good, all the time. “Did you think of that?”

“He could be crafting you a mixed tape as we speak,” Angus says somberly. “You may only have hours to live.”

“Is he wooing me or plotting my death???”

“Both?” Lup looks at Barry. 

“Both,” he agrees. “You’ll make a lovely drum, though. You’ll be remembered as bongos.”

“Man, fuck all y’all.” Taako leans on the counter. “I’m super gonna verb him when I get off work, you watch.” 

“Ew,” everyone agrees, laughing, and as a customer jingles the door, they get back to looking busy. Taako can’t help but stare out the window, though. He has to know.

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!!!

The songs of 1980 Track by track breakdown, analysis, dissection, inspection

1. Julia We had also tackled & there are versions of us doing "Beautiful Boy" as well as "Watching The Wheels" & the Lennon penned, "Yes It Is". 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
