You say your love is true And I hope that it will be

"Hold it right there, squire. You're privileged to be looking down the barrels of a gold-plated sawn-off Purdy shotgun. Now as a bank manager, you'll appreciate that any man capable of cutting a gun like that in half wouldn't think twice about cutting you in half."

He walked lightly, but his feet crunched on the needles. Fraser didn’t twitch. His eyes were closed. The blotchiness had spread to his face. Roger thought his features had a thick, congested look, lips and eyelids slightly swollen. In the wavering light, it was impossible to tell whether he was still breathing. Roger knelt and shook him, hard. “Hey! Are ye still alive?” He’d meant to say it jokingly, but the fear in his voice was apparent to his own ears. Fraser didn’t move. Then one eye cracked open. “Aye,” he muttered. “But I’m no enjoying it.” Roger didn’t leave again. He wiped Jamie’s face with a wet cloth, offered more whisky—which was refused—then sat beside the recumbent form, listening for each rasping breath. Much against his will, he found himself making plans, proceeding from one unwelcome assumption to the next. What if the worst happened? Against his will, he thought it possible; he had seen several people die who didn’t look nearly as bad as Fraser did just now. If the worst should happen, and the others not have returned, he would have to bury Jamie. He could neither carry the body nor leave it exposed; not with panthers or other animals nearby. His eye roamed uneasily over the surroundings. Rocks, trees, brush—everything looked alien, the shapes half-masked by darkness, outlines seeming to waver and change in the flickering glow, the wind moaning past like a prowling beast. There, maybe; the end of a half-fallen tree loomed jagged in the darkness, leaning at an angle. He could scrape a shallow trench, perhaps, then lever the tree and let it fall to cover the temporary grave . . . He pressed his head hard against his knees. “No!” he whispered. “Please, no!” The thought of telling Bree, telling Claire, was a physical pain, stabbing him in chest and throat. It wasn’t only them, either—what about Jem? What about Fergus and Marsali, Lizzie and her father, the Bugs, the Lindsays, the other families on the Ridge? They all looked to Fraser for confidence and direction; what would they do without him? Fraser shifted, and groaned with the movement. Roger laid a hand on his shoulder, and he stilled. Don’t go, he thought, the unspoken words balled tight in his throat. Stay with us. Stay with me. He sat for a long time, his hand resting on Fraser’s shoulder. He had the absurd thought that he was somehow holding Fraser, keeping him anchored to the earth. If he held on ’til the sunrise, all would be well; if he lifted his hand, that would be the end. The fire was burning low now, but he put off from moment to moment the necessity of tending it, unwilling to let go.

“MacKenzie?” It was no more than a murmur, but he bent at once. “Aye, I’m here. Ye want water? A drop of whisky?” He was reaching for the cup even as he spoke, spilling water in his anxiety. Fraser took two swallows, then waved the cup away with a twitch of his hand. “I dinna ken yet if ye’re right or you’re wrong,” Fraser said. His voice was soft and hoarse, but distinct. “But if you’re wrong, wee Roger, and I’m dying, there are things I must say to ye. I dinna want to leave it too late.” “I’m here,” Roger repeated, not knowing what else to say. Fraser closed his eyes, gathering strength, then brought his hands beneath him and rolled halfway over, ponderous and clumsy. He grimaced, and took a moment to catch his breath. “Bonnet. I must tell ye what I’ve put in train.” “Aye?” For the first time, Roger felt something other than simple worry for Fraser’s welfare. “There is a man named Lyon—Duncan Innes will ken best how to find him. He works on the coast, buying from the smugglers who run the Outer Banks. He sought me out at the wedding, to see would I deal with him, over the whisky.” The plan in outline was simple enough; Jamie meant to send word—by what route, Roger had no notion—to this Lyon, indicating that he was willing to enter into business, provided that Lyon would bring Stephen Bonnet to a meeting, to prove that he had a man of the necessary reputation and skill to manage the transport up and down the coast. “Necessary reputation,” Roger echoed under his breath. “Aye, he’s got that.” Fraser made a sound that might have been a laugh. “He’ll not agree that easily—he’ll bargain and set terms—but he’ll agree. Tell him ye’ve got enough whisky to make it worth his while—give him a barrel of the two-year-old to try, if ye must. When he sees what folk will pay for it, he’ll be eager enough. The place—” He stopped, frowning, and breathed for a moment before going on. “I’d thought to make it Wylie’s Landing—but if it’s you, ye should choose a place to your liking. Take the Lindsays with ye to guard your back, if they’ll go. If not, find someone else; dinna go alone. And go ready to kill him at the first shot.” Roger nodded, swallowing heavily. Jamie’s eyelids were swollen, but he looked up under them, his eyes glinting sharp in the firelight. “Dinna let him get close enough to take ye with a sword,” he said. “Ye’ve done well—but ye’re not good enough to meet a man like Bonnet.” “And you are?” Roger couldn’t stop himself from saying. He thought Fraser was smiling, but it was difficult to tell.

Oh, aye,” he said softly. “If I live.” He coughed then, and lifted a hand, dismissing Bonnet for the moment. “For the rest . . . watch Sinclair. He’s a man to be used—he kens everything that passes in the district—but no a man to turn your back on, ever.” He paused, brow furrowed in thought. “Ye can trust Duncan Innes and Farquard Campbell,” he said. “And Fergus—Fergus will help ye, if he can. For the rest—” He shifted again and winced. “Go wary of Obadiah Henderson; he’ll try ye. A-many of them will, and ye let them—but dinna let Henderson. Take him at the first chance—ye willna get another.” Slowly, with frequent pauses to rest, he went down the list of the names of the men on the Ridge, the inhabitants of Cross Creek, the prominent men of the Cape Fear valley. Characters, leanings, secrets, obligations. Roger fought down panic, struggling to listen carefully, commit it all to memory, wanting to reassure Fraser, tell him to stop, to rest, that none of this was necessary—at the same time knowing it was more than necessary. There was war coming; it didn’t take a time traveler to know it. If the welfare of the Ridge—of Brianna and Jemmy, of Claire—were to be left in Roger’s inexperienced hands, he must take heed of every scrap of information that Fraser could give him. Fraser’s voice trailed off in hoarseness. Had he lost consciousness? The shoulder under Roger’s hand was slack, inert. He sat quietly, not daring to move. It wouldn’t be enough, he thought, and a dull fear settled in the pit of his stomach, an aching dread that underlay the sharper pangs of grief. He couldn’t do it. Christ, he couldn’t even shoot a thing the size of a house! And now he was meant to step into Jamie Fraser’s shoes? Keep order with fists and brain, feed a family with gun and knife, tread the tightrope of politics over a lighted powderkeg, tenants and family all balanced on his shoulders? Replace the man they called Himself? Not fucking likely, he thought bleakly. Fraser’s hand twitched suddenly. The fingers were swollen like sausages, the skin stretched red and shiny. Roger laid his free hand over it, and felt the fingers move, trying to curl around his own.

“Tell Brianna I’m glad of her,” Fraser whispered. “Give my sword to the bairn.”

Roger nodded, unable to speak. Then, realizing that Fraser couldn’t see him, cleared his throat. “Aye,” he said gruffly. “I’ll tell her.” He waited, but Fraser said no more. The fire had burned very low, but the hand in his burned hot as embers. A gust of wind knifed past, whipping strands of his hair against his cheek, sending up a spray of sudden sparks from the fire.

He waited as long as he thought he dared, the cold night creeping past in lonely minutes. Then leaned close, so Fraser could hear him.

“Claire?” he asked quietly. “Is there anything ye’d have me tell her?” He thought he’d waited too long; Fraser lay motionless for several minutes. Then the big hand stirred, half-closing swollen fingers; the ghost of a motion, grasping after time that slipped away.

“Tell her . . . I meant it.”

[femslashedtires]

I may have accidentally caused a slight international incident on twitter, I figured I'd give the whole rundown here.

I posted a little tweet half joking about the libidO choreography and sent it to a concert group chat of OnlyOneOf fans. It went through lyOn twitter pretty horrifyingly quickly.

While people were annoyed and tagging their company & official accounts, it was pretty mild until Den (who is the acting coach in this show)... really put his foot in it.

Within a couple hours of each other, Den joked (?) that the choreography similarities were "just a pure coincidence" (in a tweet that is now deleted) and Nine, one of the members of OnlyOneOf, took to bubble upset about the plagiarism.

The story got picked up by Koreaboo and AllKpop where most netizens were agreeing it's... very clearly the same choreography.

Shortly after, Chalarm (who plays Ken, the "Nine" part of the choreography) posted an apology. He explained that the part was originally supposed to be a balancing act, but he was injured. He showed the team OnlyOneOf's choreography, and they put it in the show (without credit). A lyOn provided a more reliable English translation.

At this point, lyOns (on twitter) seem pretty happy with Chalarm's apology and hold no ill will towards the cast, but most are still pretty unhappy with the production crew (and Den specifically), and are definitely expecting a formal statement and/or credit added to the episodes/future episodes.

Emmeline

    It is certainly the mother’s fault if she feels nothing for her innocent young child. Certainly. But why did I scream the very first time I held her to my breast? It was never like that with Kenny nor little Thomas. Kenneth sent for Dr. Lyon, but he only parades as a man. Deep down, he is an imbecile — where he should have a brain, I imagine a fly buzzes to and fro through the empty space in his skull. He suggests that I am envious of her youth and fear being replaced as a woman…men have a terrible habit of treating women like girls and girls like women. Regardless of the disturbance, my holiday has treated me quite nicely, though I’ve begun to miss Ken and the boys terribly.

Guys I think there’s a trend in my favorite characters…

Miles “Tails” Prower, Sonic the Hedgehog

Varian, Tangled the Series

Lyon Vastia and Gray Fullbuster, Fairy Tail

Takeru “TK” Takashi, Digimon

Ken Ichijouji, Digimon

Simon Seville, Alvin and the Chipmunks

Dick Grayson, DC Comics

Tim Drake, DC Comics

Sibling figure, usually younger or middle, often the “smart one” of the group, a bit socially awkward, some form of masked trauma or self esteem issues….a good portion have guilt complexes over mistakes or hold themselves to a high standard, the “responsible” one. Most are queer and neurodivergent coded.

They’re just a little similar. A smidge.

And then there’s our wild card.

Raven, (specifically this iteration), Teen Titans

Actually no, GUILT COMPLEX. There’s a tie in.

Angel Dust, Hazbin Hotel

I CANT EVEN SAY HE’S A WILD CARD BECAUSE HE TECHNICALLY HAS SIBLINGS THEY’RE JUST NOT IN THE SHOW (so far)

I don’t. I don’t think I have a character that doesn’t fit into one of those criterion. I have a favorite archetype and stick to it goddamn.

“Jean Harlow was the first screen tramp to become a heroine and her raw sexuality made her the sex symbol of the 30s, very much in the way Marilyn Monroe became the sex symbol of modern cinema. Harlow’s screen persona was very different from Monroe’s, however; she wasn’t vulnerable but impudent, tough, wisecracking, slatternly and sexually voracious. She gave as good as she got, which made her a wonderful screen partner for Clark Gable and James Cagney. In her first starring role, in the 1930 Hell’s Angels, she gave the cinema one of its immortal lines when she asked Ben Lyon to “Pardon me while I slip into something more comfortable”, and she gained even more fame in Red Dust by taking a bath and ordering Gable to “Scrub my back.” She wore clinging satin dresses without a bra, became known as the Platinum Blonde and obviously was just as keen on sex as men were. On top of all that she was a fine comedienne and is just as enjoyable to watch today as she was in the 30s. From 1930 to 1937 she was a major star in a delightful series of films, mostly at MGM, and then died tragically of uremic poisoning. She was only 26 years old.” 

/ From The Illustrated Encyclopedia of The World’s Great Movie Stars by Ken Wlaschin, 1979 / 

Born on this day 112 years ago: Depression-era sex goddess Jean Harlow (née Harlean Carpenter, 3 March 1911 – 7 June 1937). Tough to pick, but I think my favourite Harlow performance is in outrageous pre-Code Red-Headed Woman (1932).

Me in my last post: Against all odds it seems that I survived December and 2023 as a whole (hope i'm not talking too soon!) The last days of 2023: and I took that personally

The struggle those last few days. Whoah. Tough.

But yeah! A few more hours and it'll be DONE. Phew. Whoah. Yeah DONE.

1: Can't wait for 2024. I really hope I can make the fancomic ever and teleport into space.

2: Fury Sadji, taking after his uncle C.

3: Trop hate que Lyon devienne la nouvelle Capitale.

4: Less resolutions, More REVOLUTIONS.

As 2023 is ending I would like to thank everyone who gave me support through the year.

Very grateful for all the time, words, sharing and all you did with my works.

I was able to go to a convention, have a little exhibit, meet new friends,… it was nice.

I ran in circles too, had doubts, felt trapped. Had very very difficult periods to go through… It was a year of struggling mostly.

But it was also a year where I drew a lot, even if less than other years? I don't know for sure. It's how it felt.

Kept making comics. Worked on things for goth boyfriends, have a new one shot (too long…) in mind, have some more projects in the oven.

Got taken in a few zines/fanzines. It is/was nice! Will keep doing my best with that.

This years had its failures but it also had some victories. I don't know where I'm going.

4/10, glad it's over, it had its highlights, can't wait for 2024. Thank you everyone who followed my progress so far, thank you to those who will stay, best of luck to those who won't, I'm just glad we shared a moment.

Big big love. xoxo, ken
