What is the WIP Big Bang? Good question! This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your fanfic drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them!

I don’t understand the trope of “likeable older male character’s children won’t talk to him/are suing him” if he’s so nice and stuff, why do his kids hate him?

i could say so much about this but it is kinda infuriating, and i dont know if theres a conversation about it that i just dont see people having, but it feels like 99% of the time that i see a jewish character in media, especially jewish men, theyre "weaker" in some way. and theyre even moreso never allowed to be the big strong and/or badass ones.

i saw a list yesterday that was a bunch of jewish characters in media, and there was a character on that list that i know of and have seen some of, but i didnt know she was jewish. what i knew about her was that shes seen as "weak" and shy and dorky in her show. so when i read that shes jewish, it just felt like "of course she is."

and dont even get me started on these characters being "weak" or dorky or, in the mens cases, feminine, and how it makes them the butt of the joke a lot. i could list several cases ive seen, but the main one that comes to mind is leslie berkowitz from one day at a time (2017)

i love that show. there is many things i love about that show and can praise about it, but leslies character is not one of them. hes a man with a name thats seen as a womans name, so of course they joke about that. hes "submissive" in the fact that people tend to step all over him and he just accepts it, and they joke about that. its also so weird because that show gives so much respect and understanding and empathy to every other character, but the one explicitly jewish character... is a joke?? they take him seriously very few times compared to everyone else who gets so much time to be taken seriously. and the jokes about him in particular just feel gross because theyre so... opposite to everything the show seems to stand for. like, this show literally has a nonbinary character but theyre still making fun of a man for being seen as feminine. make it make sense.

i can think of few times that ive personally seen that a jewish character was allowed to be a full on badass, and even fewer where they werent a nerd of some kind at all. i should clarify that i dont think being a nerd is bad, but obviously a lot of people have in the past considering... everything ever for the past few decades.

and hell, most of the times i can think where jewish characters have been allowed to be badass and strong were when they were written by jews. i cant speak for every single time, and my knowledge is of course limited here since ive only seen so many pieces of media, but like, isnt that just kinda wild

Jeff Buckley: Grace: Legacy Edition

Author: Bram Teitelman

Date: Sept. 18, 2004

JEFF BUCKLEY Grace: Legacy Edition REISSUE PRODUCERS: Steve Berkowitz, Mary Guibert, Jerry Rappaport ORIGINAL PRODUCER: Andy Wallace Columbia C3K 92881 RELEASE DATE: Aug. 24

If any album deserves a 10th-anniversary reissue treatment, it's Jeff Buckley's "Grace." Along with Nirvana's "Nevermind," it set the tone for much of the '90s. Anchored by Buckley's incredibly expressive voice and guitar playing, the album spanned the rock, folk and blues genres and influenced countless bands. Buckley's plaintive vocals and yearning lyrics were given additional emotional resonance upon his drowning in 1997, making "Grace" his only proper full-length album. In addition to a remastered edition of the album, the Legacy Edition contains a bonus disc of live and previously unreleased material. While the highlight is "new" original track "Forget Her," it is fun to hear Buckley tackle songs by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Hank Williams and MC5 as well. Also included is a third disc, which includes a DVD of the making of this landmark album, and five music videos.

Jeff Buckley: Grace Legacy Edition

Author: Jimmy Leslie

Date: Aug. 2005

Jeff Buckley was the guitar player's singer/songwriter, and Grace was his masterwork. Jimmy Page called it, "the best thing I've heard all year" in 1994, and it stands as one of the decade's most influential albums. Underneath Buckley's soaring vocals and romantic songwriting was a beautiful bed of Telecaster tones drenched in delicious Fender reverb. Unfortunately, Grace was the only studio album Buckley--the prodigal son of cult favorite Tim Buckley--fully realized before his tragic drowning death in 1997. The Legacy Edition of Grace sparkles in the light of a modern mastering job, and is accompanied by a disc of Grace-era rarities and a DVD. The most notable previously unreleased audio track is the fabled version of "Forget Her," recorded during the Grace sessions and featuring a rare overdriven guitar solo with string bends wrenched straight from the gut. Buckley brandishes authentic electric and acoustic slide blues chops on Hank Williams' "Lost Highway" and Bukka White's "Parchman Farm Blues" respectively, while the reworked "Eternal Life" and a cover of the MC5's "Kick Out the Jams" rock as hard as anything from the grunge era. The DVD contains an insightful "Making of Grace" segment, as well as five videos. Columbia.

Friday Review: Jeff Buckley Grace: Legacy Edition (Columbia/Legacy) 3/5 pounds 18.99

Date: Aug. 6, 2004

When Columbia's Legacy bods get the bit between their teeth, there's no stopping them, and this multimedia mega-pack edition of Jeff Buckley's shimmering epic, Grace, gives you both an additional CD of unreleased material and rarities, and a DVD with promo videos and an expanded version of the documentary, The Making of Grace. Buckley's disastrously early death rocketed him to a kind of instant canonisation, and there's so much Buckleyana on the market that it's easy to overlook the fact that Grace was the only full-length album released in his lifetime. So, since we already have the massive Legacy release Live At Sin-E, The Grace EPs, Live At L'Olympia etc, is this 10th anniversary disc mere overkill? Well, it gets away with it by virtue of the quality of the second CD, which packs in 13 tracks of mostly excellent quality. Must-hear moments include the mesmerising Forget Her (almost included on Grace but bumped in favour of So Real), the billowing soul-gospel of I Want Someone Badly, Buckley's disarming readings of Dylan's Mama, You Been on My Mind and Hank Williams's Lost Highway, and the nu-metal premonition of the "road version" of Eternal Life. But surely it wasn't necessary to get George Marino to remaster the original Grace album.
