#kathleen greyson

[moghraidhs]

a little wlw yearning for this week, introducing kathleen :) uses the prompt "orange" from the rewatch list - kinda loosely but it works (to me lol) enjoy!

Kathleen used to think loving someone was like the movies. Cheap yet charming lines and easy flirtation followed by bliss for a few hours (or longer), until the shine wore off and they moved on - or she did.

She doesn't think so any more. Loving someone is a bit like the oranges back in California - sweet and a bit bitter and clinging to the back of your throat, unable to be dislodged.

Right now, standing on the sands of Algeria, it's hard to decide whether the bitter or the sweet is winning.

They're alive, which is more than can be said for some of the other crews. Images of burning forts and bodies hurtling through the sky play on a blurry loop in front of her eyes, and Kathleen blinks to banish it. It doesn't work.

"Kathleen?"

Most people wouldn't hear that voice, soft as it is, but Kathleen's ears catch it anyway, and she feels something in her chest pick up, like a dog knowing its owner is close by.

It's pathetic. But she turns anyway.

There are cuts spattered across Lisbeth's cheeks and a slightly deeper one on her forehead. Her hair is a mess, strands falling out of the braids wrapped around her head, and there's a bone deep exhaustion in her eyes Kathleen recognises all too well. "Are you alright?"

"Shouldn't someone be asking you that?" Kathleen says. It's meant to come out sardonic, but somehow misses the mark.

"Oh." Lisbeth tries for a smile. "It's not too bad, honestly."

Kathleen wants to shake her.

Ironic to think when she'd first been assigned to this crew she had vowed to herself not to get attached to anyone. Had thought it would be easy - life moving between sets didn't make for long-term friendships, and after…everything, she'd avoided getting close to other women outside of the occasional night in a motel.

And yet somehow here she is, with her ears still ringing from gunfire and the images of dead men behind her eyes and she cares. About all of them: about little Beanie, crouching dazed on the sand; about Diane, smoking a cigarette with slightly trembling fingers; about Josie, moving between them and pressing small touches here and there as if trying to impart some of that elegant steel-edged confidence she wears like armour even after the past few hellish hours.

"Kathleen," Lisbeth says, and Kathleen jerks her gaze back.

"I'm fine. Cuts are from the mask, and I didn't get hit once." She spreads her arms. "You can take a closer look if you want."

It's impossible to keep the flirtation out of her voice. She learned it too young and now it's like a second skin, smooth and comfortable. Works with almost anyone.

Lisbeth, however, winces like she's been struck. "T-That's fine. I didn't mean to push, I'm sorry." She swipes loose strands of her out of her face, never once meeting Kathleen's eyes. "I'll leave you alone."

Four words and yet they have the power to cave Kathleen's chest in. The smile hovering on her lips drops, shame and disappointment tangling together in the back of her throat.

"Lisbeth," she calls out. A dog trailing after its owner.

Lisbeth turns around.

"Make sure you get checked out as well." Kathleen makes her lips curve. "Not that many great pilots around, it would be a shame to lose you."

That gets her eye contact, if only for a few seconds. Lisbeth looks startled, and then a tiny, fragile smile spreads across her battered face. "O-Oh. I will. Thanks, Kathleen."

She walks away again, but the memory of that smile stays behind Kathleen's eyes, erasing the horror of the mission bit by bit.

It's pitiful and stupid and she doesn't care. The sweetness is worth it.

[melodies-and-memories]

I’m going to detail why my very first OCs are Bad this is a major callout for young me 

1. Greyson Greyson was my very first OC. I made him after we read Wuthering Heights for school. He was based off of Linton Heathcliff. Something in me at 13 years old adored the idea of the Constantly Sick character. Probably a deep seated psychological issue of not being needed. In his original story, he wasn’t *really* the main character. The main character was Amaya. Greyson was 10 when I made him (remember, I’m 13). Ayako/Amaya was like 15. She’s been sent abroad to study, and is boarding with the Knights and their young son. She never meets Greyson, and doesn’t really know he exists for a long time. She befriends 2 kids from school, Myles and Kathleen (Kath’s also Bad. She’s basically a Weasley ripoff.) Eventually, she does meet him. He never leaves the house due to illness (later, at...... 14? I retconned that he wasn’t just ill all the time, he’s immunocompromised. But in a REALLY uninformed way.) The entire point of the story is that these 4 outsiders become like a family.  My issue is mostly with how... uninformed my characters are. Amaya is so.... anime Japanese girl. Milo’s a typical Ruffian Bad Boy. Kathleen’s a red haired Irish girl with 7 siblings. Both Myles and Kathleen are actually based off my own family. My dad’s friend growing up was named Miles, and my Gran was 1 of 11 kids. The only character with any personality is Greyson. Amaya was a sad attempt at living through an OC. I had horrible identity issues through most of my life, and I desperately wanted to not be me, so I was projecting my ideal self onto Amaya. Which is whole other can of worms of Bad.  Greyson eventually moved out of that story and into my New Story. In a super convoluted way. And he didn’t change very much. (First drawings of the cast)

2. Eli “Toushi” Okay. Eli is 10000% the brain child of psychological issues. I made Eli sitting in Sunday school when I was 14. He’s the magical transformation of a Naruto OC whose design I liked (my own OC) turned into an older brother for me. That’s all he was to begin with. Eli is a horrible Frankenstein’s Monster of things I wanted or romanticised. He’s Japanese because I was into anime and desperately wanted to be Japanese, he’s tall because I wanted someone who would hold me and protect me, he’s older than me because my older sister failed me as an older sibling constantly, I wanted him to have blue eyes so I made him HALF Japanese, his mother is English because I wanted very desperately to not be American, eventually his story developed into one of neglect and running away from home to make a better life for himself (which was something I wanted to do, for selfish reasons.), he became an alcoholic at 13, because bad boys are Cool, and so I could bring in my New Ideal Self to come in and save him. His name’s not good either. It’s not a name. I pulled it out of my Japanese dictionary. Toushi (闘志). It means fighting spirit. But like. It’s not a name. As far as I know at least. He’s only called Toushi because the original Naruto OC was called Toshu (search me for where I got that). And even after all these years, I can’t change it. I have trauma. He became Eli because Ellison Kim and because I couldn’t bear to call him Toushi anymore. His appearance is taped together from things I liked too. He’s a mishmash of celebrities I’ve been attracted to over the years. I literally can’t draw him anymore because I don’t know what he actually looks like. I don’t know who he is.  As a teenager he was The Voice In My Head aka; My desperate attempts at fighting off depression. He and Leo would basically Angel and Devil in my head. Eli would build me up and was loving and supportive of everything I did, and Leo would criticise me and insult me. During my teenage years I also started expanding my world I was building in my head. Which will be point 3.  I might have. idk if I’m allowed to say this but like.... I kind drove myself crazy. I was always dialoguing with Eli or Leo. I didn’t connect with people, but I don’t know which came first; was I unable to connect with people, and so I made up friends, or was I unable to connect with people BECAUSE I made up friends? (The original sketches from 14 year old me)

3. The House I called it “the house” because I never decided what this story would be called.  You know those AUs where everyone lives together? It’s that but it’s my OCs. So this story was started when I was 14. And I was on the internet a lot. And I was seeing a lot of people saying stuff about “representation”. And that really like.... connected with me. I’m dealing with my own garbage, I’m at that age where I’m wrestling with personal identity, sexuality, sexual identity, mental illness and stuff like that, and I suddenly longed for representation for the under-represented.  Decent motives. Terrible execution.  90% of the 100 something characters I would make over the next 4 years would be POC and suffering from *something*. Whether physical illness, assault, or mental illness (or a combination of things), there was no one who could be called “average”. Which was the point. The House was a repurposed home, turned into a refuge for people who need help. It’s a hospital, but a home.  The major problem is, all of my research on all of the “issues” people had was the wiki page. It all feels so fragile. I’d slap a personality disorder on a character design I didn’t know what to do with. I’d give someone physical trauma if I didn’t make their personality one that could be convoluted to accommodate my ideas of mental illness. I’d straight up take characters from other media, tweak the design and give them a personality disorder. I also wrote some REALLY traumatic backstories for characters. All in the name of representation, but my tact was lacking. I wanted the abused and suffering to feel heard. But I didn’t educate myself. Their traumas and issues became props. And that’s really bad imo. Because traumatised people are more than their trauma. I don’t want to be defined by the terrible things that happened to me, yet I defined these characters by theirs. I made OVER 100 CHARACTERS like this.  4. Sen So. Sen. Sen is the most confused character I’ve ever made. They’re me. And they’re They because to this day I can’t decided what I want them to be. Sen started as a boy. Then a girl. Then NB. Then a girl who is mistaken for a boy and never corrects anyone. Short hair, long hair, brown hair, red hair, black hair, short, tall, skinny, fat. They were never anything other than whatever I was at the time. I have trauma.  -------- In short I need to do better. I need to let go of the things I did badly, and fix them, or just.... let go.  I think it’s important for me to reflect like this. Because sometimes I need to articulate my frustrations to be able to overcome them.

REVIEW

A Midnight’s Requiem: The Ghostly Hour

An Historical Romance Collection

 Excellent collection of stories by wonderful authors – some old friends and some new ones to add to my authors to read again. These can be read one after another or spread out over days to at Halloween or any time of the year. I am about halfway through the stories and will read them all but want to get this review up to let others know that it is definitely filled with interesting, varied, and intriguing stories.

 * There are ghosts – malevolent and benign with most wanting something from those undead

* Love is in the air and often necessary to save the day

* There are second chances for some

* And no chances for others

* Some end up seeing the light…or perhaps going to the darker side

* There are culprits, killers, some pirates, and those that are saviorss

* Time travelers that show up in at least one story

* The feeling that some of these stories are part of series that I have not read

* Intriguing and thought provoking

* Happy endings for some

* A big of magic here and there

 I remember last year’s anthology and loved it so definitely was eager to read this collection, too.

 Did I enjoy this book? Yes

Would I read more books by these authors? Yes

 Thank you to NetGalley and Dragonblade for the ARC – this is my honest review.

JWoww and Roger’s divorce finalized; how they got here

CLOSE

USA TODAY’s Cynthia Clark interviews the girls of “Jersey Shore” as they talk about their new season 6. Jersey Shore

JWoww, what a feeling.

Jenni “JWoww” Farley of “Jersey Shore” feels like a post-Tom Cruise Nicole Kidman now that she’s finalized her divorce from ex-husband Roger Mathews.

“Jenni and Roger have reached an amicable conclusion and finalized their divorce,” said a spokesperson for Jenni to the USA Today Network New Jersey on Thursday, Aug. 29. “They remain devoted to co-parenting their children in a happy and healthy environment and they both wish each other the best.”

Jenni posted a pic on her Instagram account on Thursday of jubilant Kidman that’s become associated with her split from Cruise.

As for Jenni and Roger, it’s been a rocky road to this point. Jenni filed for divorce on Sept. 12, 2018, in Superior Court in Ocean County, New Jersey, citing irreconcilable differences.

“The plaintiff and the defendant have irreconcilable differences which have caused the breakdown of the marriage for a period of at least six months which make it appear that the marriage should be dissolved and that there is no prospect of reconciliation,” Jenni’s complaint said.

Roger did not want the marriage to end.

“I’m not done fighting,” he said. “I’m going to win my wife back. I’m going to win her affection back. I’m going to win her love back. I have no intention of being a single dad.”

Yet, things got ugly. Police were called to their Toms River home in early December. Jenni filed a restraining order against Roger. Later, she charged him with domestic abuse, along with other indiscretions, on her web site on Jan .30.

“You are an abuser to the core, Roger Mathews,” read the statement, all in caps and signed by Jenni. “I stand strong today. For me. For Greyson. For Meilani. (Their children.) They will not grow up watching their mother being a victim of domestic violence. I will be a victim no longer. Roger, know this here and for always – my kindness should never again mistaken for weakness. Remember that. I will not be threatened. I will not be controlled. I will not be broken.”

On the July 11 season debut of “Jersey Shore” family vacation, Jenni said that she and Roger had different views of how their son Greyson, who was diagnosed with autism, should be treated.

It caused a rift in the marriage, she said.

“Roger believed that Greyson was just a slow learner and he was going to learn on his own and that caused a lot of tension in our household because you have one parent who’s, ‘I need to get ahead of this,’ which is me, and fix it. You have another parent who’s, ‘What are you doing? It’s not a big deal. There’s nothing wrong with Greyson.’ “ Jenni said.

Jenni has a new boyfriend, wrestler  Zack Clayton Carpinello.
