It's Fine Press Friday!

This 1932 Limited Editions Club (LEC) publication of the ancient Roman novel The Golden Ass, (also known as the Metamorphoses of Apuleius), was one of the many artist-illustrated classics produced under the direction of American publisher and LEC founder George Macy (1900–1956). It tells the extraordinary and oft unsavory tale of Lucius, a young man experimenting with ancient religious magic who accidentally transforms himself into a donkey instead of a bird- a condition he is able to reverse only after a wild journey of misadventure which concludes with his induction into the cult of Isis.  

The novel, originally composed in Latin in the 2nd century by philosopher and scholar Lucius Apuleius (c. 124 CE-c. 170 CE), was translated into English for this edition by writer and social activist Jack Lindsay (1900-1990) and features reproductions of pen and ink illustrations from Percival Goodman (1904-1989), a progressive urban theorist and architect more widely known for his postmodernist architectural renderings and contributions to modern synagogue design.

The book was printed in a limited edition of 1500 copies by John S. Fass (1890-1973) at the Harbor Press in New York, a fine-press printing house founded by Fass and Roland & Elizabeth Wood in 1925, and features type designer Thomas Maitland Cleland’s (1880-1964) elegant Della Robbia typeface in black and red ink on Worthy special paper, illustrated endpapers, and gilding on the top edge of the text block. Goodman’s signature is inscribed in red ink beneath the colophon. The publisher’s announcement included with our copy describes the edition as bound in “full natural ass’s hide”, a characterization critically described by Claire Badaracco in her 1995 book Trading Words: Poetry, Typography, and Illustrated Books in the Modern Literary Economy as “stretching the boundaries of good taste”, but we think that the smooth, gold-stamped cover is quite lovely and understated in person!

the club diaries: chapter one ✍🏼

if you didn’t know, i recently got a job as a cocktail waitress at a strip club. a friend from my day job got me an interview there for bartending, but since i’ve only waitressed in the past i’m starting there and then will train along the way.

if you told me a year ago that i’d be working in a strip club part time, i’d have assumed i was hallucinating, so this is an entirely new experience for me and i thought i’d share stories about the job with y’all since i’m sure there will be many.

my first night, i got there early to fill out my tax paperwork and get my uniform. once i was dressed, my friend (we’ll call her E) had me shadow her for the rest of the night, helping her with tables and orders.

before i got this job, i had been to a strip club one time in my entire life. it was almost an entire decade ago, when I was 18, and i went with my boyfriend at the time and our mutual best friend. a stripper named hunter put her face in my boobs and it was definitely a, uh, memorable experience.

i’ve also never been to a club or a bar, in the traditional sense. it was never my scene, i don’t really drink alcohol, and my only friends have always been neurodivergent homebodies like me.

then, all of a sudden, i’m in a corset with my boobs front and center and fake eyelashes to the heavens pouring shots of overpriced Grey Goose vodka for middle-aged men in button-down shirts. culture shock? yeah.

but to be honest? it’s not that different from my other job

let me explain. at our day job, even though we work in different departments, E and i deal with rude people, angry people, sometimes even violent people. we have to think on our feet and problem solve and placate the customer until someone in upper management can slide in and either solve the problem entirely or escort them out of the store. the exact same is true at the club. in fact, i was told by three people during my first shift that if anyone ever does anything that makes me uncomfortable, like touching me without my permission or making lewd comments, it’s 100% okay and encouraged to tell them to fuck off. at my day job, i’m not allowed to do that, so it’s actually nice to know i have that option if things get dicey.

and that’s the thing: things get dicey at both jobs. just the other day, at my day job, a man came in high on coke and meth with a switchblade and tried stealing a tablet from the electronics department by cutting the security tag. when it didn’t work, his high ass came over to my department, slammed the knife down on the table, and demanded to speak with a manager while muttering incoherently under his breath.

the entire world, every single part of it, is deeply and utterly bizarre.

the first night was pretty simple, just shadowing E and helping her with her tables. we spent a lot of time taking orders since it was a busy night, but the computer system was glitching a lot so there was a lot of standing around, waiting for credit cards to process, waiting for the POS system to reboot. i got there around 9:30 and i was there until about 3am. the next night i went in around 10 and worked on my own until about 5:30. at one point i was awake for a grand total of 42 hours and was fully convinced i was losing my mind and becoming irreparably insane. turns out sleep depravation doesn’t agree with me - who knew?

overall, i was surprised by how laid back it was. like yes, it’s crazy in a lot of ways. flashing lights, boobs everywhere, smoke and alcohol and cologne flowing through the room, loud music, people yelling at each other, etc. think, the jersey shore crew on a night out at karma, only with actual strippers.

i’m also surprised by how comfortable i felt in my uniform. i’d never struggled with my weight until i turned 22, and i just recently lost about 45 pounds due to illness, so my body image has been a little wonky as of late. however, i was a musical theatre kid (shut up) and honestly, i wore an outfit just as scandalous when we did a rendition of “hey big spender” from sweet charity (a musical that’s literally about nightclub dancers, by the way). so quite frankly, i’ve been rather comfortable in the skrimpy little outfit, which is surprising even to me.

anyway, so far things are going well. i anticipate drama, and chaos, and there’s already been some, but that’s ultimately the reality of every job ever. at my day job, the drama is insubordination and return policies and angry Karens. at my club job, the drama is “why does a vodka cranberry cost $16?” and “this guy is drunk, call security” and to be honest? it’s less emotionally exhausting to explain overpriced alcohol to a slimy dude in a suit than it is to explain to a Karen why she can’t return the clothes she bought at walmart to our store, because we’re not walmart. 🙄

my next shift is tomorrow night at 11, and i’ll be there until the wee hours of the morning on thursday. thankfully, there won’t be a repeat of this weekend, since i’m completely free from both jobs on thursday and friday.

i’ll be making these posts every once in a while if i have any interesting stories or anecdotes to share, but feel free to ask me questions any time, and i’ll answer them as best as i can!

oh also, my wife is keeping all the cash tips i earn in a shoebox and wasn’t too amused when i referred to it as the “titty money box” lmao

anyway, here’s some photos of my uniform. thank you god or whoever for my boobs, they cause me tremendous back pain but i can hold $120 in cash, a cell phone, three pens, and a stack of napkins in there without being detected. so. pretty neat trick.

macy and her boobs, signing off for now ✨

Valentine ↬ p.p

A/N: this is so self indulgent and also happy Valentine's to the EST/PST timezone!!

If you saw me reposting this because I posted only half of it, no you didn't 🤔😘

Wc: 1.6k

Warnings: mentions of gummy bears (the one with cannabis), smut (mentioned) Mopey Peter XD

Summary: Peter Parker wanted to spend his Valentine's with the most beautiful girl in his college. But him being him, he chickened out last minute from asking you out, completely ruining his mood. Thank god for his roommate though and his girlfriend though. (This fic makes no sense nsdjjsjfj)

Pairing: College!Peter Parker x Reader (18+)

Masterlist

Cutie potatooie

Peter looked at the window outside of his room, the pitter patter of rain reverberating in his eardrums as he sunk down the soft mattress with a sigh.

One could say his sullen mood was because of the dull weather outside in New York city, or it could be because he didn't have a date for Valentine's.

It wasn't often that one caught Peter Parker sulking because he didn't have a Valentine date, it was a rare sight.

There was this one time he had asked Gwen Stacy out during the senior year of high school, but she ended up moving out to Oxford before they could celebrate the fourteenth of February. Things didn't really work out with Liz because of her dad and MJ, well he ended up becoming her awakening factor about her sexuality. He respected that, absolutely, he was even honoured that he was the reason she had the guts to come out as bisexual.

So he didn't really keep his hopes up in the dating department, up until he met You in college. MIT had a huge campus, and Peter Parker was ready to kiss the fates just for making him bump into you, the most beautiful girl he had ever come to know.

Call him dramatic because there are of course, other girls who were just as beautiful and attractive as You, but in his eyes, You were the most beautiful human to have ever walked earth. It was the sway of your hips and flick of your wrists that had him, capturing his heart enough for his brain to malfunction in your presence.

It was a shame that he hadn't asked you to be his Valentine for today's party. In his defence though, You didn't really know him well other than as a classmate, or your roommate's boyfriend's roommate, and he was a naturally shy person. He barely had the guts to talk to you when you were sitting right besides him during class.

"Come on man, how long are you going to sit there moping? You know I would ditch today's plans for you right? Claire would understand." His roommate, Cade said.

Cade had always been his best friend next to Ned (no one beat Ned in this race, god he fucking missed him. He missed May and Tony and Pepper and Morgan and Rhodey and the list went on and on, he was sad for another reason now).

"Okay Candace." Peter muttered, not looking up from his bag of gummies. He had a feeling they were stoner patch ones, but he didn't care. It wasn't like they were going to affect his metabolism anyways.

What he did care about was that he wasn't on a date with you today and it was completely his fault. He had been a bumbling bambling baffoon when he had gone to ask you out in the least cheesy way he could think of, and had ended up stuttering something along the lines of "roommate" and "date", just as the bell rang, cutting him off like the little gremlin it was.

"You know that's not my name Pete." Cade muttered, stealing some of the gummies before scrunching his nose and spitting them out with a muttered curse.

"Do I look like I fucking care?" Peter grumbled, wiping the lenses of his glasses on his sports t-shirt, nearly chucking them across the room when it just smudged the stain, wiping it with his cotten bedsheets instead.

"Well you gotta get up anyway, Macy's is having a special offer for the singles tonight." He said, snatching the bag from Peter's hand, who's scowled at him before flopping on his bed with a groan. He was definitely starting to feel the effects, but he knew it was temporary, probably would last an hour before he was back to his mopey self.

"Why do you have to remind me that I'm single when you have a girlfriend yourself?" Peter groaned, dragging a hand across his face, a murderous expression on his innocent little face.

"Sorry man I'm just trying to cheer you up! You know what? Come with me, I'll take you to Claire's dorm and then you can have a sleepover with Y/N, you can even play doll dress up but for the love of god, get up from that bed. How long has it been since you washed those sheets? They stink!" The darker man said, his voice taking a higher octave, pulling him by his leg to drag him out of the sheets.

Being the little shit he was, Peter scrunched his fists in the sheets, nearly tearing the seems off.

"I'm not five that you're setting me up on a playdate with your girlfriend's hot roommate."

"Well you're acting like you're five right now, and I will call aunt May if you don't get out of here right fucking now!"

"Okay okay jeez Candace calm your man tits will ya." He rolled his eyes, sitting up with a wince as his head gave a pound, the aftereffects already setting in.

And that's how he found his way through the girls dorm, with his roommate by his side as Cade navigated through the empty hallways, eerily silent in contrast of the loud banger music playing in the club below.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Peter whispered, clutching onto his friend's hand as if his life depended on it, the smell of wet grass and mud distracting him from his thoughts. The girls dorm had a really pretty garden, and he admired it as much as he could from his window without feeling the judgmental stares of the girls thinking he's another one of those pervs.

"Your over thinking is going to give you premature ulcers." Was his only response, flicking the doorbell you had installed in your dorm.

He swore his breath stopped when he heard the tell tale click of the door hatch clicking open, your face peeking out of the door as you let them both in.

You would be lying if you said that your heart didn't speed up when you saw Peter Parker standing outside of your dorm.

You weren't the kind to get jealous easily, but you were envious, maybe even a little (only a little, a little pinch) jealous of your roommate for having a boyfriend. You didn't usually pay attention to your relationship status, but you were only a little salty about the fact that you would not be spending the day of love with the person you've been in love with since you entered the campus of MIT.

You had thought of asking him out several times, saying fuck to gender roles, only to back out last second because you were not sure you would last a second without melting just by looking at his brown puppy eyes.

You gave yourself and him a last chance, hoping either of you would make a move to at least ask each other out on the fourteenth of fucking February, only to be disappointed when that didn't happen.

So you were excited when your roommate told you that your long time crush Peter Parker and you were going to be in the dorm together (alone), heart beating erratically as you saw his face come in your view.

"Hi." You said shyly, pursing your lips to suppress a chuckle as you saw his cheeks heat up, rose red blush rising up in the cutest way possible.

"Hi." He responded, his breath stuttering in the empty dorm.

A few minutes went in silence, him shifting awkwardly in his place as you tried not to look at his body. You couldn't believe the nerd was hiding all of this underneath hoodies and sweatshirts.

Damn, he's hot. You thought, realising that you said that out loud when he stuttered you a look.

"I didn't mean to say that out loud." You said, opening your mouth to apologise again, before he cut you off with a kiss. You were startled by the sensation of his soft lips, surprise leaving you too petrified to move your lips.

You counted up to five before you heard his trademark Peter Parker stuttering apology.

"Oh- I'm I'm so sorry I you don't have to kiss me this is my fault oh god I'm so stupid-"

And it was you who kissed him this time, mystified by the way your lips fitted with his perfectly, like a lock in a key ready to open.

In the end, your impatience won out, his wandering hands on the bare skin of your waist enough to send fire up your veins.

Your hands were all over him in a matter of seconds, your legs straddling his thighs as he kissed you ferociously, messing up both your and his hair.

"Here's to a happy fucking Valentine." You muttered against his lips, smiling as he snorted a response, tickling your slides with his slender fingers.

"Happy fucking Valentine to you too sweetheart." He whispered back, picking you up with ease and throwing you to the nearest bed.

"I hope this isn't going to be a one time thing." You said, watching him undress as you yourself removed your top and your shorts, leaving you in your undies and his in his boxers.

You knew he was muscular, but damn there was a whole another story going on under those clothes. Your mouth practically watered at his chisled abs, his smirk making your patience wean out as you scrambled to being him closer to you.

"I wasn't hoping it would." He said, kissing you softly this time, punctuating each word with a soft kiss. You gave a breathy moan, digging your fingers into his back muscles, realising in the way they moved, the thin chain now exposed as it sat cool on your skin.

"Good, cause I really really like you, Peter Parker."

"I really really like you too, Y/n, L/n."

[justkeeponsimming]

For Luka and Mae, life has been growing steadily over the years.

Their hearts are constantly on edge around their son Clark and his wife Maci as they try for a family of their own. Luka and Mae were very lucky and able to conceive their twins naturally and quickly, so it causes them a stab of pain every time there’s a negative pregnancy test. They know they will have grandchildren to spoil soon, but the journey is going to be rough until they finally get there.

Career wise, Luka and Mae are doing very well. Luka has a regular gig at a bar in downtown Del Sol Valley, drawing in a decent crowd each time he performs. He has become particularly known for his dad humour, impressing other parents with tales of his twins when they were younger.

Mae, meanwhile, has turned her attention away from soap operas and is performing more on stage. Of course, Luka is there to help her rehearse lines, just like they did at drama club when they were teenagers.

Life may be difficult at the moment, but bright times will surely be in their near future.

Which witch show is which?

The arrival of a new trio of Charmed ones and a certain enchanting teen proves that witchy offerings on the big and small screen are no longer relegated to Halloween, or even the month of October. And it’s not hard to see why tales about powerful women fighting persecution through magic resonate so much right now. But with five witch-centered series currently airing or streaming —including the OpenTV web series Brujos and an upcoming Chicago-based show titled Brujas—The A.V. Club decided it was time to take a closer look. Here, we help our readers determine who at least glanced at the Book Of Shadows before conjuring up a story.

The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina (Netflix)

Which witch is this? Honestly, the Satanic Temple had a point when they said CAOS gave Satanists a bad name. Although the Spellman family and their fellow witches and warlocks worship the goat-headed god Baphomet—first conceived by French artist and occultist Éliphas Lévi in 1856, and frequently used as the symbolic incarnation of Satan—the Satanic Church of the Night’s brand of magic has very little in common with the actual Left-Hand Path, as practitioners of so-called “black magic” prefer to call their belief systems. Neither of the major Satanic groups, The Church of Satan and The Satanic Temple, believe in Satan as a literal deity, for one. (There are a few theistic Satanists out there who do believe in an actual devil, but not in great enough numbers to be statistically significant.) And even if they did, they don’t believe in forcing anyone, let alone minors, to join up. They’re all about free will.

The show’s frequent name-checking of ingredients, tools, and deities frequently utilized in real spellcraft, as well as its use of concepts like astral projection and familiars as plot devices, are similarly loose—some might even say nonsensical, from a magical point of view—in their interpretations. If anything, the coven’s ritual cannibalism and practice of signing their names in the Devil’s book are more akin to the rhetoric of witch hunters in early modern Europe, who fed the public salacious (and baseless) tales of midnight orgies and shapeshifting witches in order to justify burning rebellious women at the stake. Of course, there’s not a lot of dramatic tension in an organization whose first guiding principle is “one should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason,” so it makes sense that the writers of CAOS would take some liberties when designing the show’s fictional witches. But if you’re a fan of the show and meet a real-life Satanist, don’t worry—the most dangerous thing about them is likely to be a libertarian streak. [Katie Rife]

Charmed (The CW)

Which witch is this? There are three in Jennie Snyder Urman’s Charmed reboot: sisters Macy (Madeleine Mantock), Mel (Melonie Diaz), and Maggie (Sarah Jeffery), who discover they’re witches after their mom dies. Their magical abilities have been slightly tweaked; what was once Phoebe’s (original cast member Alyssa Milano) premonition is now Maggie’s telepathy. They’re still strongest when they’re working together, so the Power Of Three remains intact (aww).

But where, exactly, do those powers come from? Well, in its original iteration, Charmed was informed by general Wiccan tenets, e.g., spell-casting, potions, the use of familiars, etc. The Halliwell sisters—played by Milano, Shannen Doherty, and Holly Marie Combs—even had a Book Of Shadows, a similar copy of which was bequeathed to 2018’s Charmed ones. For the most part, the reboot has followed the same path, despite having a male witch in their writers room and the fact that the main characters (if not all of the cast) are Latinx. Season one hasn’t explored brujería much at all, even though there’s a long and rich history of it in Latin America. But the fourth episode, “Exorcise Your Demons,” introduced a bit of Santería, a syncretic Afro-Caribbean religion that draws from Catholicism and Yoruba beliefs, to the world of the Vaughn-Vera siblings. (The incantation was even in Spanish.) But Charmed is still leaving a whole lot of culture untapped while cobbling together a fairly generic form of witchcraft. We mean, if Starz’s Vida can feature a limpia de huevo, Charmed could have a barrida or two. Okay, so maybe that’s more curanderismo than anything, but the fact that we’ve already cited several Latin American-originating practices here proves there’s a lot more where that season-one spell came from. (Incidentally, Vida creator Tanya Saracho is developing a series about Afro-Latinx witches called Brujas). [Danette Chavez]

A Discovery Of Witches (Sundance Now/AMC Shudder)

Which witch is this? The source material for A Discovery Of Witches is Deborah Harkness’ historical-fantasy novel of the same name, which was in turn inspired by Harkness’ work as a historian and her decades-long private research into magic and the occult. The spell-casters on this Sundance Now series are a special brew—they’re informed as much by Harkness’ studies of “the transition from the superstitious Middle Ages to the rational, science-loving Enlightenment” as they are the occult. Dr. Diana Bishop (Teresa Palmer) is a very powerful, very undisciplined witch who’d much rather get tenure at Oxford than join a coven, but soon destiny—and a dreamy vampire played by Matthew Goode—come calling.

Though there aren’t many fun incantations a la Harry Potter, A Discovery Of Witches does touch on alchemy, which once seemed like magic. Much of the story in the first season centers on Ashmole 782, a book that’s more myth than manuscript. As our colleagues at io9 demonstrate, Ashmole 782 doesn’t actually exist, but the works of 17th-century alchemist and astronomer Elias Ashmole do. Harkness really did her homework, drawing inspiration from medieval alchemy, which was full of all kinds of fantastic occurrences and creatures (possibly even including vampires, though probably not ones as hot as Matthew Clairmont). [Danette Chavez]

Legacies (The CW)

Which witch is this? In short, the “just for funsies” kind. In this spinoff of a spinoff of The CW’s long-running supernatural teen series The Vampire Diaries, witchcraft and magic are heritable conditions. That means that you can chant in all the esoteric languages and draw all the arcane symbols you want, but if the blood of ancient magicians doesn’t flow through your veins, you’ll never be able to develop psychokinesis, manipulate time, read minds, or do any of the other cool tricks that the witches on the show can do. That puts Legacies, about a supernatural high school for witches, vampires, and werewolves, closer to Harry Potter or X-Men than any religious form of witchcraft. (The school’s called the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted, for goodness’ sake.)

As for what these witches actually believe, vague gestures are made towards a pagan nature religion akin to Wicca: “I was a witch like you … we believe in the natural order of things,” an undead witch tells the biological daughters she’s never met (don’t ask) in one episode. That being said, the actual mechanics of the spells performed on screen are more reminiscent of the alchemical and theological systems of hermetic magic than Wiccan goddess-worship. Not that it really matters in the context of the show, whose characters spend a lot more time discussing who has a crush on whom than the philosophical underpinnings of the duality between “light” and “dark” magic.

Siempre Bruja (Netflix)

Which witch is this? Caracól Television’s Siempre Bruja, which was inspired by Isidora Chacón’s novel, Yo, Bruja, centers on a time-traveling witch named Carmen (Angely Gaviria). When we first meet her, Carmen is a slave in 17th century Cartagena, who’s on trial for being a witch. She’s condemned to death, but as the flames grow around her at the stake, she begins to chant. Suddenly, she washes ashore in Cartagena some 300 years in the future, where she’s in only slightly less danger. Siempre Bruja is part Buffy The Vampire Slayer, part Outlander—there’s plenty of teen drama mixed in with the time jumps.

Though it’s not referred to by name (at least, not in the first half of season one), there are plenty of clues that suggest Carmen and the other witches in the story are followers of Santería, which has a long history in Colombia. She chants in Lucumí, a variation of Yoruba that’s used as the spiritual language of Santería. (In fact, “Lucumí” can also be used as a synonym for the belief system itself.) Carmen also acts as a curandera, using plants to heal wounds in the past and present. She’s also able to communicate with ghosts, and spiritism is a huge part of Santería.

How about M, Q, and R?

M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?

Hmm. I have several unpublished WIPs in various states of progress, but as I mentioned in an earlier ask, my contemporary Zimbits fairy tale is probably the closest to being finished. Here’s a snippet:

Macy’s parents owned Ground Control, a small-but-successful chain of coffee shops of the hipster-attracting variety. Their ethically sourced coffees and teas, along with their selection of “alternative” milks, were a far cry from anything sold in Madison Pie Palace, but their pastries were so-so, at best. In other words, they weren’t too much of a threat to business, but there was — according to Mama — potential for a merger.

She always winked when she said that, which always made Eric feel like he’d swallowed a brick. He knew Macy liked him, and of course he liked her back, he just wasn’t sure he liked her in that way. But Macy was safe. She’d had a crush on Eric since the eighth grade. And while he didn’t exactly return those feelings, he did feel something for her. She was kind and quick-witted and even in heels, she was shorter than he was. They looked good in their prom pictures.

Macy went to college in Alabama and brought her accounting major boyfriend home for Christmas her sophomore year. “I’m sorry,” she tearfully told Eric over pie the night before New Year’s Eve. “I guess I never really broke up with you.” Eric found himself in the awkward position of having to tell his high school sweetheart that it was okay for her to break up with him. Honestly, it was all a relief. Eric still wasn’t sure how love worked, but he knew the spark he was supposed to feel when Macy walked into the room just wasn’t there. No spark, not even an ember. He’d never felt a spark, and had started to wonder if he ever would. 

Macy was allergic to apples, anyway.

Q: How do you feel about collaborations?

I had this answer all ready and was going to say I’ve never participated in a collaboration, but then I remembered I have participated in two totally different collaborations!

Years and years ago – like 14 or 15 years ago – I participated in a Baby-Sitters Club round robin fic where everybody wrote one or two chapters in a Super Special-style fic. It was a lot of fun, and my first foray into writing fanfic. Despite being a Mary Anne with strong Kristy undertones, I wrote some of the Dawn chapters. 

And I participated in the Check, Please Big Bang last year, which was an author-artist collaboration. As a writer with no artistic talent whatever, it was so amazing to see my artist’s interpretation of my story. 

I talk about ideas and WIPs with other writers all the time, but haven’t collaborated on anything at this point. I would probably be open to it, though, with the right idea and right co-writer.

R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?

I read all the time as a kid, and Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, and Ann M. Martin were the authors who made me want to become a writer. (I think I definitely have writing quirks that I picked up from Ann M. Martin, in particular.) Currently, I love the way Maggie Stiefvater writes teenage friendship and I think my sensibility is pretty closely aligned to Mindy Kaling’s, in both her first person humor essays and her screenwriting. But those influences aren’t necessarily present in my fic.

[settle-down-frohike]

A happy AU The Lone Gunman at William's christening

1. “Jesus Langly,” Byers huffs into the reflection behind him in the mirror. This, of all days, would be the day his tie tying skills would falter. “I said something appropriate.”“What? Its a new T-shirt man. And for the record, it’s a picture of God, not Jesus,” he argues, pointing to the illustration of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg. Byers shakes his head in defeat and resumes his battle against the offending garment. Frohike paces nervously, “We’re gonna be late amigos. Vámanos.”

2. An active role. Active. As in non-passive. As in present. The words play on loop, most of the ceremony having been unfamiliar and ceremonial, foreign to his ears, “Active role” had caused him to look up from his worn loafers, a stark contrast to his fresh-from-the-Macy’s-rack suit. He’d brought the flowers too, his standard offering. Scotch would have been inappropriate, Byers was already bringing a rosary. Active….He wonders if schools even have an AV club anymore. Uncle Melvin? Uncle Fro? He’s shown up in the suit and brought the flowers and made the promises to take the active role. It’s the closest to a marriage vow he’s ever going to make most likely. The title ‘Uncle’ has lost its jest. He adopts it now the way they have adopted him, with weight and heft and warmth in his chest. Family.

3. He watches warily as they enter. These miscreants, these ne’er do wells. The handsome do-gooder, the hermit and the rebel. Split Fox Mulder into three caricatures and this is what it would look like. Dana was always fond of the mutts from the pound as a child. She always did bring home the strays. The ones with questionable bloodlines and unwavering loyalty. He’d never admit as much to her, but Bill envies her judge of character. Still, he most likely won’t stick around for dinner.

4. The women are elbow deep in cooking, Maggie’s house is warm and worn-in and smells of potpourri, fresh bread and some form of rich casserole. William’s new rosary has been passed around and admired. Byers rewarded with a kiss to the cheek and the first opportunity to hold the baby. When he begins to fuss and squirm, though, his expression turns desperate. Scully reaches for a dish towel, sheepishly mentioning that he probably needs to be changed. Langly has been shifty and quiet thus far, so the room goes quiet and eyes owlish when he declares that he’s got it and retrieves the infant and the diaper bag. “What? My sisters got three kids.” He throws William over his shoulder, one-armed and easily, and scurries off whispering to his new buddy, about how his Uncle Kung Fu is the best.

5. With their earnest manners, eager reception of her cooking and copious compliments, she warms to them almost immediately. Dinner is jovial, tales of parenthood woes and and platitudes abound. The room becomes quiet as the weight of full bellies matches significance of the occasion, and thoughts turn contemplative. Her grandson’s father had called them brothers, and her daughter knows something of that. She takes a moment to appreciate the scene around her before tapping her spoon to the good crystal. Dana looks fearful, suddenly, her beautiful doubting Thomas. “Mary Ann Evans once said, “ she begins, “ What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life – to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories,” she’d planned to say more, but damnable maternal emotion is closing her throat. Some matriarch she turned out to be. She pauses for composure, and raises her glass. “To Fox.”The table raises their glass. “To Mulder,” they echo.

Which Edgar Allan Poe Stories Will Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher Adapt?

https://ift.tt/3Afbh4B

It all made too much sense not to happen. After borrowing Shirley Jackson’s source material for 2018 series adaptation The Haunting of Hill House and Henry James’s (again: we must insist you call him “Hank Jim”) for 2020’s The Haunting of Bly Manor, there was only one classic horror author for filmmaker Mike Flanagan to adapt next. 

Ladies and gentlemen we present to you: America’s spookiest uncle. The mustachioed, cousin-loving freak himself. Edgar. Allan. Freaking. Poe. 

Netflix announced today that Flanagan and producing partner Trevor Macy will be shepherding a new limited series called The Fall of the House of Usher, based on Poe’s titular short story along with a handful of his other works. This is the fifth horror series that Flanagan and Macy have brought to Netflix after Hill House, Bly Manor, Midnight Mass, and the upcoming The Midnight Club. It will feature eight episodes, four of which will be directed by Flanagan.

This is one of the most natural partnerships between adapter and source material in a long time. Flanagan is the hottest name in horror right now thanks to his Netflix television work and major Stephen King film adaptations like Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep. Meanwhile, 19th century writer Poe is quite simply the American horror story GOAT.

Why Midnight Mass is Mike Flanagan’s Most Personal Work

Scott Cooper and Guillermo del Toro Want to Make Edgar Allan Poe Movie

By David Crow

Just about every bit of horror content that has been produced on this continent since the early 1800s owes its existence in some part to Poe. The Boston-born, Baltimore-dead writer produced dozens of classics like “The Raven”, “The Tell-Tale Heart”, and more. He also married his cousin and died penniless in the streets like any real Goth should. 

Though Flanagan’s The Fall of the House of Usher will adapt one Poe work in particular, Netflix notes that it will cover several others. Here are some other Poe pieces that the limited series might seek to adapt. 

The Fall of the House of Usher

Well, this one’s a layup. Obviously the series called The Fall of the House of Usher will borror liberally from Poe’s titular short story. But what exactly will that entail? First published in 1839, “The Fall of the House of Usher” features just about everything that makes a Poe story distinctly Poe: insanity, family, isolation, and of course: violence. 

The story features an unnamed narrator visiting his old friend Roderick Usher in his mansion after receiving a letter complaining of illness. Once the narrator arrives, he discovers that Roderick and his sister Madeline are in very rough shape. When Madeline suddenly perishes the real horror begins.

It’s a good bet that Flanagan’s The Fall of the House of Usher will center on three characters approximating the narrator, Roderick, and Madeline. While his two previous “Haunting” efforts borrowed their titles from actual homes, this title refers more to House Usher in the familial sense (i.e. House Lannister and House Stark). Make of that what you will. 

It’s also worth noting that The Fall of the House of Usher was previously adapted into a classic 1960 Roger Corman horror movie of the same name starring Vincent Price. Expect that to be a major inspiration for Flanagan.

The Masque of the Red Death

If ever there were a time for this Poe short story to shine…

“The Masque of the Red Death” was published in 1842 and is set at a lavish masquerade thrown by Prince Prospero. Though the country is gripped by a dangerous plague known as “The Red Death”, that is no excuse to stop partying. Things get weird, however, when a party-goer turns up wearing a full-on Red Death costume. This costume would be in extremely poor taste…if it weren’t being worn by death itself.

“The Masque of the Red Death” has the most metal closing line in all of the Poe canon: “And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.” It’s unclear how Flanagan would incorporate this into the series, but he kind of has to, right?

William Wilson

“William Wilson” is a relatively minor Poe work but we suspect it’s use of doppelgangers would be highly appealing to the team that brought two Henry Thomases to The Haunting of Bly Manor. This tale is all about its title character attending school and meeting another boy exactly like him. And we mean exactly like him: same name, appearance, birthday, everything.

The two William Wilsons cross paths many other times throughout their lives and it all culminates in a classic bit of Poe bloodiness. At the very least, The Fall of the House of Usher seems likely to include a character named William Wilson as a wink.

The Pit and the Pendulum

Many of Poe’s works include a certain level of supernatural intervention. “The Pit and the Pendulum”, however, does not. This makes it unusual among Poe’s efforts. It also makes it one of his best. 

This story takes place during the Spanish Inquistion and is an ahistorical account of one man’s imprisonment and torture inlvoving…you guessed it: a pit and a pendulum. There isn’t much of a cohesive narrative here on its own but Flangan’s series could utilize this as a flashback much as it did with Henry James’s “The Romance of Certain Old Clothes” for the flashback episode of The Haunting of Bly Manor.

The Cask of Amontillado

An interesting aspect of much of Poe’s short stories is that they come from the perspective of murderers. “The Tell-Tale Heart” is the most infamous example but his 1846 work “The Cask of Amontillado” might be his best.

This tale follows a man named Montresor who invites a fellow nobleman named Fortunado to check out his rare vintage wine collection. Montresor then chains Fortunado and leaves him to die on a wine cellar. Why? Well, that’s not entirely clear. Maybe it was for a petty offense years ago or perhaps it’s just because killing is fun. “The Cask of Amontillado” is full of interesting questions that The Fall of the House of Usher would be all the richer for asking.

Snowflake Book Review’s

Title: Outside the Lines (Sons of Templar MC #2.5)

Author: Anne Malcom

Pages:115

Snowflake Rating:❄❄❄(3/5)

Synopsis: My life’s not easy. I’ll tell you that now. It’s not neat. I don’t fit into society the way most people expect me to and I don’t color studiously between the lines, outside the lines is where I reside. The fringes of society is where I found my place, with the Sons of Templar MC. The life they lived gave me everything I wanted, and everything I needed. Most importantly, it gave me something I’d been lacking for over a decade—family. A place to belong. 

Club girl—that was my title. There were other words for what I was, but I preferred the less derogatory version. Sure, I’d love to be an Old Lady. It’s the dream. But, as someone who escaped into fantasy worlds when life got too much, I knew the difference between dreams and reality. I had resigned myself to the fact, I’d always belong to the club. It didn’t mean I didn’t crave one man in particular to claim me. To put me on the back of his bike and ride off into the sunset with the man who’d captured my heart the first day I saw him—Hansen. The dream where he’d finally see me and make me his, existed strictly in Macy’s world of wonder. Until now. Until somehow my fantasy world and reality world collided and he looks at me in the way I’d dreamt of for a year. Fairy tales usually had neat and happy endings once the hero and heroine got together. This wasn’t a fairy tale. Hansen wasn’t your traditional hero and I was the furthest you could get from a heroine. I feared my past might dictate my future. That my world outside the lines would go from messy to complete disaster.

CART Weekly Report 8/29/19

15 MIND-BLOWING STATS ABOUT CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE MANAGEMENT | CMO. Adobe

Gary’s Take: Customer experience management is a focus of 80% of companies according to Gartner. Companies that deliver on providing a great experience consistently outperform those companies who fail to provide a good experience as shoppers reward them with more spending, more visits, and greater retention over time. But to do customer experience right requires many things, from motivated associates, the right technology tools, and deep understanding of customers and why they are shopping with you.

RETAIL DIVIDE WIDENS AS SHOPPERS SEEK VALUE AND CONVENIENCE | Wall Street Journal

Gary’s Take: Those retailers that are investing heavily in online and omnichannel marketing and selling are outperforming their less advanced competitors as recent financial results from a number of retailers shows. Companies like Walmart, Target, and TJ Maxx are pulling away from Macy’s and JC Penney who have failed to make needed investments to keep pace with changing shopping behavior. But, Nordstroms offers a cautionary tale: The company has done many of the right things - reasoned new store openings, heavy investment in online and omnichannel, etc. - and yet continue to be challenged in the market.

VIDEO ANALYTICS PROVIDE CLUES ABOUT WHAT RETAIL CUSTOMERS REALLY WANT | Biz Tech Magazine

Gary’s Take: Video analytics have been around in retail for some years now but the technology is continuing to spread, enabled by the decreasing cost of digital cameras and ever increasing software capability. I think many retailers intuitively understand the power of having analytics around customer behavior in the store but it has taken a while for best practices to begin developing in various retail channels. The insights provided can power improved merchandising directly leading to increased sales and margins and are a powerful tool for category managers.

INNOVATION : ARE RETAILERS TRYING TO DO TOO MUCH? | RetailWire

Sterling’s Take: Innovation is a significant positive change — could be technological, but it could also be in team performance, financials or customer service. It comes from thinking and then doing things in a new way (vs. how we’ve already done it. Brian is right on here — keeping up with consumer adoption isn’t innovation. Merging online and offline isn’t in and of itself innovation. Having a ���innovation group” isn’t actually innovation. But they’re all mediums to potentially innovate. We have lost our way as an industry. This isn’t about the technology. It’s about using technology and developing our businesses to meet the needs of human beings. The only assurance we have about the future is that it will be different. The best thing a retailer can do is to develop their teams, their culture to be one that can support change over time to meet those customer needs ever more efficiently and effectively.

Hulu New Releases: November 2020

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

All streaming services go through a down period after the excitement of Spooky Season, it’s only natural. Thankfully with its list of new releases for November 2020, Hulu is making the best out of a barren pop culture landscape.

For starters, Hulu is premiering one of its major 2020 reboots this month as Animaniacs arrives on Nov. 20. Yakko, Wakko, Dot, and the rest of the Warner gang are set to return for this long-awaited revival of the animated classic. That’s about it as far as original series go but Hulu is also premiering original movies Greta, about climate activist Greta Thunberg on Nov. 13; and Run, a horror film starring Sarah Paulson, on Nov. 20.

Still, despite all the Animaniacs, Gretas, and Sarah Paulsons, the biggest hits this month might just be on the library content side of things. November 1 sees the arrival of some major TV properties. For starters, racy British teen show Skins will be made available in its entirety on the first of the month. So too will Rick and Morty season 4 arrive on that date. And those hits will be followed by Killing Eve season 3 on Nov. 6.

If there ever were a time to do some serious streaming, it’s November 2020 on Hulu.
