His Guardian Angel
Word count: 3.5k
Reader's quirk: memory manipulation, similar to Shinso Reader, can control someone's mind. But whereas Shinso commands his victims. Reader can go inside her victim's mind and control specific things, such as motor skills, memories, and emotions (to a certain point.) Effects last for 10 minutes.
○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○
Eijirou was your best friend, you've known each other since middle school.
You did everything together, told each other everything. Which is why it was so agonizing
when he started dating someone.
Now to be clear, you weren't mad he was dating someone.
You were mad at how downright annoying she was. The way she talked was nails on a chalkboard. You weren't the only one who felt this way.
Nobody in the group could stand her but Eijirou seemed so happy so no one wanted to ruin that.
However she hated you especially. At first you thought it was just her being protective and jealous which you could understand to a certain point.
But she would go out of her way to make sure kiri wouldn't even hang out with you. He would always cancel plans or reschedule. Only to cancel again.
◇
You heard your alarm go off as it shook you from your sleep. You sat up with a groan as you grabbed your phone.
You can't say you were surprised that you didn't receive your what used to be usual morning text from Kirishima
You drug yourself out of bed and get yourself ready for your patrol that morning.
Since your quirk was similar to Hitoshi Shinso's you both ended up working at the same agency Aizawa worked at before he retired, The Purple Revolutionary Agency.
Once you got there you walked into the building and to your desk. You did paperwork while you waited for your team to be called for patrol.
Once you finished your paperwork you looked around quickly to see If your boss was around.
You swiftly pulled out your phone to cure your border for a moment. You decided to take a look at the official hero rankings just for fun to see if they had been updated.
Your eyes widened as you saw Kirishima's name at the number four spot. "Oh my god!" You whispered.
You hurried into a hallway as you dialed Ejirou's number. It rang twice before it clicked, "hey Y/N! What's going on?" He asked.
"Have you checked the hero ranks?!" You asked excitedly. "I haven't, why?" He asked curiously. "You're at number four!" You cheered.
You heard him gasp, "w-wow! Really? I- ha!" He rambled in disbelief.
"We should celebrate tonight l! You, me and the gang. You can bring Maziki if you want, I'm sure everyone won't mind." You lied through your teeth.
You knew he would want his s/o there of course, but you couldn't help but think she was gonna make it about herself.
"Well, should we go to our bar tonight?" He asked. "That sounds great." You paused. "It's been forever since we've hung out." You said quietly.
You heard him sigh in. A guilty tone. "I know… I'm really sorry y/n, I don't want you to feel like I don't miss you and the gang." I started, you cut him off.
"We get it kiri it's ok I swear" you said in a cheerful tone. You heard him laugh, "you're a good friend."
You wrapped up the conversation before hanging up just in time to go on patrol.
~
Your patrol was relatively calm, just petty theft and such.
If anyone you chased after gave you trouble you simply used your quirk and made them return what they stole and wait for officers to show up.
You looked forward to hanging out with your friends tonight. You were so proud of Eijirou.
Your shift soon ended and you went back to your agency, did some last minute paperwork before heading home to get ready.
◇
The door chimded as you walked in the bar, you walked up to the hostess table. " hi, I'm y/n, I'm with the pro-hero party." You said.
The hostess nodded as she flipped through the reservation book. "Ah of course here you are, right this way Ms. L/N." The hostess responded as she led you to your table.
A cheer went up as you walked in the room, "there she is!" Mina said as she ran up and hugged you.
"I save you a spot next to me" she smiled before leading you to the table. You took your spot before ordering a drink. "Ohh it's been too long guys!" You smiled at everyone.
"I even missed hanging out with you" you teased, pointing to bakugou. "Pfft- tease all you want, someone's gotta keep you dumbasses in line." He quipped before flagging down the waitress.
You laughed as you looked over to kirishima, before you could congratulate him you noticed something. He wasn't smiling, he of all people should be smiling. He was frowning at his phone, like he was lost in thought.
“Kiri?” you asked as you waved your hand in front of his face, attempting to grab his attention. He was snapped out of his trance before smiling at you, “hey! Isn't this great? Everybodies together!” He smiled wide.
You nodded, “ yeah it is great, but i was just wondering. Are you ok? You seem upset.” you asked with concern. He shouldn't be upset, you thought to yourself, it's his party.
“Oh yeah i'm fine!Maziki just texted me saying she was gonna be late so i'm a little bummed, but as long as she makes it right?” he said brushing it aside.
Your smile dropped a little, “yeah, as long as she makes it” you said quietly as the waitress showed up with your drink. You took it from him and thanked her before taking a generous glug from it.
An hour passed, laughs were made and drinks were had, you and Eijirou weren't much drinkers, you had a light buzz at best. Kaminari had just said something stupid making Mina laugh so hard she started shaking you making you laugh, however the jostling made you a little nauseous.
“Ugh, i feel a little queasy, i'm gonna step out front for a sec, get some fresh air.” you told everyone with a smile.
You stood up before grabbing your jacket and stepping out front. You took a deep breath of cool air before taking a moment to appreciate the ambiance of the street light.
You were shaken from your thoughts by chatter nearby. You looked over and saw a woman getting out of a car and turning to the driver.
"Yes I'll be over tonight baby" she cooed to whom you assumed was her boyfriend. Any normal person would turn away at this point but something seemed familiar about her.
You observed the conversation a little more, "when are you gonna leave him? I want you 24/7 sexy" the man purred.
You analyzed the women further before nearly gasping, it was Maziki. "I know, he's like a puppy, I can never go anywhere without him going, where are you going? When will you be back?it's annoying" she sighed.
"But don't worry, I'll drop him soon, the dudes a bimbo anyway." She leaned in to kiss the driver. " I'll see you Sunday ok?" She smirked before shutting the door.
The car sped off leaving her as she walked into the bar. She didn't notice you. There was a slight ringing in the air. You tried to comprehend what you witnessed.
Maziki was cheating? Why did you of all people have to find out first.Do you tell eijirou? you thought. Was it your place? Of course it was. Wasn't it?
Eijirou was your best friend. But what if he wouldn't believe you if you told him, what if he thought you were lying. You couldn't risk it… could you?
You quietly walked back into the bar, scurrying past everyone and taking you sink once more.
"You feel better y/n?" Eijirou asked. You looked up at him, his arm wrapped around her shoulders, that fake smile plastered on her face.
"Y-yeah, fine" you forced a smile. Safe to say your night was pretty much over after that. You had tuned out most of the night until everyone started going their separate ways.
Thus was your chance to tell him. It was the right thing to do, even if it hurts him. You saw Eijirou talking to Kaminari with maziki.
You hurried over, "hey eiji! Can I talk to you for a sec?" You asked, making it seem like you weren't about to crush his world.
"Oh, sure!" He responded as he excused himself from his previous conversation. Maziki shot you a hateful glare, "babe, I wanna go home." She pouted. "We will honey just one second ok?" He smiled.
She scoffed before flicking her hand in a "shoo shoo" motion. You led him outside and away from the entrance by a few feet.
"Hey uhm, I have something to tell you" you said, twiddling your fingers. "Ok, go ahead," he said with a confused smile. You took a breath, this was it. Youhave to tell him, you repeat yourself.
"It's… you're…" You couldn't find the words. You cleared your throat, " Eijirou it's maziki… she's" you were cut off by a slam of a door.
"She's what?" Maziki spat, "better than you? Yeah that's about right." She hissed. "Ziki?! That was uncalled for, apologize to her" eijirou scolded pointing to you.
"Why should I?! She's been trying to be a homewrecker even since we met.!" She screeched. "Because she's my friend!" Eijirou yelled. There was some back and forth between the two of them before you blurted. "Eijirou she's cheating on you!" You said quickly before covering your mouth.
Both of their eyes went wide, and Eijirou turned to you, "what?.." He asked silently
"I saw her kiss another man-" you were abruptly cut off by searing hot skin against your cheek.
"How… dare you!" She yelled. "That's such bullshit you little bitch!" She screamed before letting out a yelp when Kirishima grabbed her raised hand. " put your hands on her again and I'll have you arrested for assault on a pro-hero." He said slowly.
She looked almost hurt, 'don't tell me you believe her?She is just trying to split us apart." Maziki said.
Kiri let go of her wrist, "Yeah I do, because y/n doesn't lie, unlike other people I know" he spat. "What are you saying eijirou?" Maziki stuttered.
"It means we're done, I had suspicions for a while but didn't want to acknowledge it, this just confirms it. So I hope he was worth it." Eijirou spoke.
" Get your stuff from my place, all of it better be gone by Sunday" he choked before walking away quickly.
You paused for a moment before chasing after him, "Eiji?" You called,... silence.
You hurried in front of him, "eijirou" you said once more. He stopped in his tracks right in front of you. His chest rising and falling quickly. "Come to my place until Sunday, you'll need somewhere to stay right?" you offered.
He didn't look at you, just started past you. You couldn't tell what he was feeling. "Eijirou…" you said once more. "Please?"
He finally looked down at you, there was no smile on his face like there always was, it broke your heart. He finally nodded in response to your offer. "Ok, here my car is over here” you said softly as you grabbed his arm and let him towards your vehicle.
The drive back to your home was quiet, the only noise breaking the silence coming from the softly playing music on the radio. “Kiri I-” you started, but he interrupted. “y/n please..” he muttered as he stared out the window. “Ok” you said.
You soon pulled into your building’s parking lot and parked your car, the two of you headed up the stairs to your place before you unlocked the door and led him inside. It was awkward, things were never awkward between you two.
"Do you need anything l?" You asked as he sat on your couch. "A drink" he mumbled. You gave a silent "ok" as you walked to the kitchen. You poured him a drink and walked to the living room to hand it to him.
You took a seat next to him, "so… are you ready to talk, I don't mean to pressure you. I'm just worried about you kiri" you said. " I just don't understand." He started. "How did we get here?" He asked as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Was it my fault? Did I do something wrong?" You rubbed his shoulder, "Eijirou no, no no it was not your fault" you told him comfortingly.
"Then why did she do it?I thought we had something, I know you guys didn't like her but… god" he sighed. "She's just one of those girls who run a good thing… they're not all like that."
You said trying to help. "How did I fall for that… two years gone, just like that" he said, snapping his fingers. " I'm sorry" you were lost for words, you were never good at this.
"It's not your fault," he responded. It was silent for a moment before you began to hear sniffling. You looked over and saw his face in his hands as his shoulders shook.
You wrapped your arms around him and pulled him to you. "y/n, please d-don't use your quirk on me" he whimpered.
"I'm not eijirou, I would never make you cry with my quirk, but it's ok to cry you know" you said softly.
"I never cry, I'm the sturdy hero after all" he laughed in between his shaky breaths. You held him for what seemed like hours as he cried, you stroked his hair to calm him. It was what he'd do and has done for you after all.
Soon he stopped and sat up, "Thank you… I needed that y/n" he said smiling slightly. His smile made you smile, "there is the smile I know and love." you said.
He nodded before staring into space for a moment, "so what should i do now?" He asked looking back at you. You thought for a moment.
"You heal, you move on and you find someone who truly cares about you and treats you how you deserve" you said, grabbing his hand and intertwining your finger with his.
The silence was peaceful this time, eijirou turned to you curiously. " Why did you hate her so much?" He asked you, you looked away, "I don't know… we've just been such good friends for years and… I couldn't stand the way she treated you. It always seemed like she never put you first." You explained
"But I felt like I couldn't tell you… I didn't want to ruin something just because I was a little jealous." You sighed.
He smirked, "jealous? Of her, why?" He asked. Your cheeks felt warm, " I mean…yeah, I don't know I just… you're awesome Kiri and I-" you stopped. "Nothing, nevermind" you waved your hand.
" No, what? Come on, I have to know now." He teased you. You scoffed as you smiled, "Ok fine, I had like… a huge crush on you" you blurted as you covered your face shamefully.
"Woah, for serious?" He asked. "Yeah, and I felt terrible, having feelings for someone who's dating someone else? That's terrible." You mused.
Eijirou pulled your hands away from your face, his hands felt rough from the scars of being a hero, but they were so gentle at the same time. " It's not terrible, and I wished I had known, back then because well… I felt the same way." He said.
You looked to him, "what?, you did?" You couldn't believe this, the two of you could've been something? Could you have been happy?
He nodded, "I feel ashamed, I never found it in me to tell you, I know that's unmanly… I just didn't want to lose you as a friend if you didn't feel the same… I didn't want you to be uncomfortable around me." He said, you could tell the tears were threatening to fall from his eyes.
"Oh kiri…" you placed your hand on the side of his face. "If only we had been braver then" you smiled, "Can I be brave now?" He asked.
You raised an eyebrow with a smile, "be brave?" You asked him, he smiled before leaning in closely. Your breaths were felt on his lips as his breaths were felt on his.
His lips were centimeters from your, "be brave Ei" you whispered. With that he closed the gap between the both of you. Your eyes flutter shut as you let yourself drown in the feeling of Kirishima's body against yours.
He pulled away after a while, the both of you panting. He went to kiss you again, desperate for that feeling with you, but you stopped him.
"Wait wait, should we be doing this? I mean you did just get out of a two year relationship…" you asked him. I mean of course you wanted this, you've wanted this for years. You weren't going to ruin it now. "I just don't want this to be a rebound," you explained.
"No no, it's not, I want this y/n, I want you, we'll work out the details later." he smiled. "Then fuck it" and with that you kissed him again, pulling him down as you fell on your back on the couch.
Your fingers ran through his hair, you're glad he never chopped it off since graduation. His kisses gradually moved to your neck, biting down softly when your neck meets your shoulders.
You let quiet whines fall from your mouth as his hand slid up your leg, not used to feeling this kind of touch from someone you truly cared about.
"Is this ok?" He asked as fumbled with the hem of your top. "Y-yeah yeah, I want all of you eijirou~" you purred in his ear.
His hand continued its journey up your shirt before it found the foam cup that cradled your bust so nicely. You thanked whatever God there was that you decided to wear a bra that clicked in the front.
It made it a little easier for the man you had so desperately wanted all these years to finally give you what you wanted.
He quickly unclipped your bra, the relief of tightness on your ribs put a small smile on your face. A smile soon replaced with a face of pleasure.
You gasped as his thumb swirled on your nipple, " you nipples are hard baby~" He whispered as he kissed you once more.
"What can I say, you're just so sexy" you teased, "well that makes both of us" he responded as he pulled his hand away before taking off his shirt, tossing it in some miniscule corner of your living room.
"Wait wait, can we take this to my room?" You asked. "Of course sweetheart," he smiled. You yelped as he scooped you off the couch and against his chest, you instinctively wrapped your legs around his waist and your arms around his shoulders l.
You giggled as he took you to your bedroom, he paraded inside before he turned and sat on your bed, you in his lap. You took off your shirt as well, along with your bra.
His eyes fell on your breasts, but it wasn't the usual stare you'd get from one night stands. He was innocent and genuine, merley mesmerized by your natural beauty.
"Like what you see red?" You smirked as you pushed him down, his back against the bed, his hands fell on your hips naturally.
"Very much~" He responded. You smiled, "I like being above you like this~" you said as you leaned down to kiss him, "I want you Ei, right here, right now" you said, locking eyes with him. He nodded as he quickly undid his pants followed by your hurting to take off yours.
You practically drooled at the sight of his cock popping out from his boxers, a light slap being heard as it hit his lower stomach. "Jesus-" you gasped as you got in his lap, grabbing his member, pumping it a few times.
"Fuck y-y/n" he whined as he balled up the sheets in his hands. "Are you sure you are good with this?" You asked. He nodded his head quickly, "yes I'm sure, I'm fine y/n, I just want you and only you."
You smiled, "ok" and with that you took his hot throbbing girth and guided it inside you. You cried out as it filled you. Low whines from him being heard.
"O-oh my god" he gasped as his hands gripped your hips. You began to roll your hips as he thrusted up into you.
You could barely focus on anything as the amount of pleasure you were feeling almost became too much… almost.
"Eijirou, I- fuck, so good" you whined like a dog. Your hips began to stutter as you could focus on keeping them moving.
You were caught off guard when he quickly flipped your positions with one another. You were under him and you almost came from the sight of him, all sweaty and panting for you, his face saying nothing but pure love and pleasure. The room smelled of sex and sweat as the both of you went at it like animals.
His head dropped into your neck, "I'm so close y/n, I wanna cum with you" he whimpered. You cradled his face with your hands as he looked into your eyes.
"I'm gonna cum Eiji, cum with me, p-please" you whined, his eyes glowed a little, an indicator that someone was under the control of your quirk. You weren't using it on him for malicious intent of course. You just wanted his mind on you and what he was feeling.
His hips faltered before both of you let out a cry of bliss, you both breathed heavily as he collapsed on top of you.
You stayed like that for a moment, enjoying each other in your most vulnerable. "You ok Ei?" You asked, hoping this whole night wasn't a line you crossed. "I'm perfect hun, just perfect" he said with a cheesy smile.
"Are you?" He asked back, you nodded with a smile l, "Yeah, I'm perfect too"

This is a really long-winded work up to a fic idea/vague character analysis BEAR WITH ME.
this'll be the last HTTYD meta post of the night. It's hard to pinpoint when Cowell fully created the later book's storyline (The seeds really start getting planted in 5, but of course 8 kicks things off, but was that the book when she first truly knew? who knows) but it's obvious the end game plot wasn't conceived by the start of the series. Cowell manages to transition from mostly episodic style adventure books to an overarching plot pretty well but there's some occasional wonkyness. The most fascinating weirdness to me is how the earlier books treat dragons and their societal standing.
I am doing a very out of order re-listen rn so I could be very wrong but while dragons are treated as 'creatures to own' from the start the slavery and mistreatment of dragons by humans starts to really become more textual rather than messy implications by like the 3rd and 4th books. But I don't think Cowell knew if she wanted to Unpack All That Right Now just yet when writing those books, so we get this weird ground where the mistreatment of dragons is there and explicit but none of the characters linger or reflect on it. Specifically in book 4 Oneye is all very "y'all are fucking pig slave drivers" and Hiccup doesn't object or anything but does not think about or engage with Oneye's rhetoric at all. This was a tad jarring coming off of listening to Hiccup giving a massive impassioned speech about how slavery is disgusting and needs to be eradicated in 10 to Hiccup meekly telling Snotlout not to whip dragons for fun in 4. Of course, Hiccup is a child and very rarely do elementary schooler age members of the oppressor class fully understand the abusive systems they profit off of (and obviously Hiccup not standing up to Snotlout is a whole other thing bc Snotlout is a horrible little shit. I'm not condemning Hiccup for not doing much here). Hiccup has all the groundwork of becoming the little leftist abolitionist revolutionary he ends up but he isn't there just yet.
This should have been ground for a bit of a character arc. And yet, it sort of wasn't?? Kinda?? It is but isnt. I think by 7 Cressida knew where the series was going enough to know that Hiccup needed to have a personal reconing with slavery & that's what the Northern Wanderers were for. Hiccup has a close brush with human slaves, gets marked as a slave and comes to see their humanity and dignity despite the rest of his friends and his culture not respecting them or their personhood. On paper, that's decent. Maybe not very good indigenous rep, but decent plot wise. However, it doesn't entirely work. Firstly because Hiccup should already know that captial S Slavery is Bad because of 5. That's a large part of 5. And yet I do not remember Hiccup ever really having much dialogue or internal introspection about slavery and the horrors of it & how it has effected Windwalker and those around him. The narration drills in it's awfulness but Hiccup sort of...doesn't super acknowledge it. Which is weird bc Hiccup is so pro dragon and such a good person you think he might be a bit angry or have some shit to say about Lavalout island or what happened to Humongous (I think there was some 'wow that's awfuls' but nothing much more then that. Or maybe I'm mis remembering grain of salt) 5 should have already done this, but again in 7 we don't get any introspection! The wanderers say a lot of things to Hiccup. They call him a devil, they say that all of history is against his kind, they think that he is inherently irredeemable and should be killed before he himself does harm. Hiccup doesn't think about any of this. And so the attempted arc kind of...falls flat for me. But cool Hiccup is in theory like yeah capital S slavery is bad. Then 8 is what REALLY starts off on Hiccup's abolitionism. Hiccup saves Furious, empathises with the chained monster against possible best judgement, and is disgusted by his torture. He wants to free all the prisoners, everyone locked away on Berserk. This is finally when Hiccup starts having a bit more of a reaction to slavery and imprisonment, and then he starts truly pushing against it out of his own accord and disgust and anger at it.
And yet. Not much inner monologue or reflection or dialogue about slavery outside of Hiccup's talk with Furious. It stays that way until book 9, where Hiccup faces the concept of being a king for the first time and then fights his father for the throne, knowing his father won't do the right thing. So, character arc! We get all the beats but I feel like we sort of don't get the development that goes along with the beats so it doesn't totally feeel like a character arc. Why the internal radio silence? Truly it's probably something about Cowell not wanting to make the books too depressing too early on by lingering on the messed up stuff too hard or something else but. I think there's a very in character and plausible explanation for Hiccup's arc around slavery. And it's all about his father.
The Hooligans are later named as one of the 'kinder tribes' who don't engage in slavery and don't agree with it morally but turn a blind eye to rampant slavery happening elsewhere. Slavery seems to really not be discussed much on Berk, but Hiccup and the other Hooligan boys his age probably grew up with some vague sense of pride in being 'the better ones', for having more honour and morals, something shared by the older tribe members. But this inaction is immoral and even though the Hooligans and other tribes aren't slave fairing, they do abuse and exploit dragons on a daily basis. Book 9 is about Hiccup finally acknowledging what has stopped him from thinking too hard or engaging with the enslavement and mistreatment of dragons. The Hooligans are still in the wrong, doing the wrong thing, upholding a bad system. Which means his father is. Stoick is the HTTYD equivalent of a neo-liberal. He dislikes the disdainful messy bits of capitalism, but he ultimately upholds the abusive and violent capitalist system while helping put down leftist organising. And seeing that in your beloved father, for someone as impassioned as Hiccup, is a fucking bitch. It's what makes their fight so heartbreaking. Hiccup couldn't let himself start down the path of unpacking the suffering of dragons and other humans until it was VITAL to do so because I think he knew things would lead back to the feet of his father, and also Hiccup's own. You don't grow up in an abusive system as a member of the oppressor class without being at least a bit complicit in violence and oppression, and I think that eats at hiccup.
ANYWAY fic idea what if I actually fleshed this all out through fic via like snapshots of Hiccup's various radicalisation moments which then focuses on the gap between 9 and 10 where Hiccup is in the woods for like a year with nothing but dragons, anti war domestic terrorism/sabotage and his thoughts for company while showing more anti war rebellion groups bc surely Hiccup and Cami were not the only ones. Cami's team getting a spotlight. ....thuggory pov??? I have vague fic soup rn and it's threatening to engulf me so I had to get this out somehow.

On the (mis)uses of history, and on Jewish safety AND Palestinian freedom
An Open Letter on the Misuse of Holocaust Memory
Omer Bartov, Christopher R. Browning, Jane Caplan, Debórah Dwork, Michael Rothberg, et al.
Appealing to the memory of the Holocaust obscures our understanding of the antisemitism Jews face today and dangerously misrepresents the causes of violence in Israel-Palestine.
November 20, 2023
Israeli leaders and others are using the Holocaust framing to portray Israel’s collective punishment of Gaza as a battle for civilization in the face of barbarism, thereby promoting racist narratives about Palestinians. This rhetoric encourages us to separate this current crisis from the context out of which it has arisen. Seventy-five years of displacement, fifty-six years of occupation, and sixteen years of the Gaza blockade have generated an ever-deteriorating spiral of violence that can only be arrested by a political solution. There is no military solution in Israel-Palestine, and deploying a Holocaust narrative in which an “evil” must be vanquished by force will only perpetuate an oppressive state of affairs that has already lasted far too long. Insisting that “Hamas are the new Nazis”—while holding Palestinians collectively responsible for Hamas’s actions—attributes hardened, antisemitic motivations to those who defend Palestinian rights. ... We encourage those who have so readily invoked comparisons to Nazi Germany to listen to the rhetoric coming from Israel’s political leadership. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Israeli parliament that “this is a struggle between the children of light and the children of darkness” (a tweet from his office with the same phrase was later deleted). Defense Minister Yoav Gallant proclaimed, “We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly.”
@MehdiHasanShow · Nov 19, 2023
@PeterBeinart on the censorship of Pro-Palestinian rhetoric: “The idea that if you’re going to…say you can’t say ‘Palestine should be free from the river [to] the sea’ then you also shouldn’t be able to say that you can have one Israel from the river to the sea.”
@AnamZakaria1 · Nov 26, 2023
When I studied genocide in context of the 1971 War, I wanted to know how the state produced narratives that enabled genocidal violence with such impunity while creating a culture of silencing that remains difficult to penetrate 50 years on. Many of those techniques at play now: 1. The bracketing of history. Picking a specific period in time as the ‘point of origin’ from where the state wants people to remember the story begins, conveniently enabling the erasure and conscious ‘forgetting’ of decades of systemic violence & oppression 2. The weaponization of pain and suffering of a community to legitimize genocidal violence against another community 3. Depoliticizing political & rights based movements by labelling everyone a terrorist or terrorist sympathizer - the term terrorism amid global Islamophobia, has of course become a particularly powerful tool of depoliticization and dehumanization 4. Creating hysteria about how ‘enemy’ nations are supporting those whom the state violates the bodies and rights of to garner political legitimacy for its ‘mission’ or ‘operation’ 5. Creating false equivalencies to ‘neutralize’ state violence - ignoring that it is backed by state machinery, and here a global machinery of weapons and narrative making too. At the heart of this is also an argument that violence is the monopoly of the state - that the violence unleashed by the state is a legitimate, even necessary act and anyone criticizing this violence is an enemy, who too, must be eradicated / silenced

1. The NY Times coverage is absurd. A Pulitzer Prize winning reporter quotes a Jewish student at my school claiming “antisemitism” is having to see a poster that says “Gaza is an open-air prison.” He should be asking this student why he feels “attacked” by seeing a fact . 2. He should explore with this kid 1. The meaning of the statement. And 2. Why that meaning is being confounded with abuse when literally tens of thousands of people are starving, deliberately denied water and health care and are helplessly surrounded with the dead and dying. 3. He needs to report on the actuality: the profound inability of this student to understand what other people are experiencing. That is the actual story.
Image 1: Our statement on the march (Na'amod UK): Pitting Jewish safety against Palestinian freedom doesn't make Jews safer, it makes fighting antisemitisim harder.

List of errors in Chernow’s Alexander Hamilton
Here’s my review of Tilar Mazzeo’s work, problems with Flexner, crazy statements in AH biographies, and part 2, in case anyone thinks I’m only critical of Chernow’s AH biography.
Chernow isn’t ONLY wrong about the things I’m listing below - his narrative of AH’s childhood is, by recent historical scholarship, proven wrong; and the longstanding rivalry with Aaron Burr is junk. As is Chernow’s determination to build the tragic hero’s arc, which leaves him no space for critical evaluation/interpretation of AH’s (or Federalist) policies. And even though Gordon S. Wood has written volumes, Chernow still doesn’t grasp the Founders’ political philosophies.
There has been a whole book published on Chernow’s (and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s) errors - Historians on Hamilton. I’m just compiling some of the easier tidbits to digest.
Chernow is wrong, sticking to facts/word choice - I’ll add to this list as a remember more things or go look things up:
1. AH was not an abolitionist. He may have held pro-manumission sentiments. But he was certainly not the most fervent abolitionist or even manumissionist of the Founding Fathers.
2. Elizabeth Hamilton was not so upset about the Reynolds Pamphlet (published August 25, 1797) that she left New York and gave birth to William S. Hamilton (born August 4, 1797) in Albany. Just the idea of a heavily pregnant woman taking the trip by boat (took anywhere from 24 to 30+ hours) should have made this conjecture seem unlikely. But it’s in the genealogical records that William S. was born in NYC. There’s also a letter from William Jackson to AH dated 5Aug 1797 in which he states: “Accept my congratulations on the birth of your Son,” noting he had received a letter from AH that morning, obviously announcing the birth of William S. I’m not even sure any prior narrative claimed EH gave birth to WSH in Albany.
3. He mis-dates the “Icarus” letter because he depended on only part of the copied text and never read the entire letter, that specifically has Angelica asking her sister if William (obviously already born) enjoyed the trip. There’s really no question for me that this letter was written 3Jun1798, which was a Sunday (the reference to going to church), and places it matching AH’s letter to EH of the same date.
4. The garter/shoe bow story, which was a failure to find the original source.
5. He gets the baptisms of the 4 oldest Hamilton kids wrong.
6. He gets Eliza Hamilton’s birthdate wrong.
7. He gets the Talleyrand letter wrong because he never checked the original source.
8. I have no idea where Philip as “sad rake” comes from, and obviously neither does Chernow.
9. Factual errors and using letters out of context related to AH’s resignation from Washington’s cabinet.
10. He gets the importance of the various aides-de-camp wrong, including lots of errors in who was where when.
11. Speculation about Rachel Faucett presented as fact, like this.
12. The orphan boy story.
13. Washington as AH’s “immaculate Daddy,” when the actual source makes clear it’s Philip Schuyler.
14. Identifying Phocion of 1796 as Hamilton, instead of William Loughton Smith.
Word choice that is very suspect:
1. EH “abandoned” AH when she went to Albany to visit her parents, and AH was so tightly wound. As @runawayforthesummer tracked down, EH and AH had just gone on a vacation together, see here.
2. That AH directed his wife to be charitable, ignoring that charity was probably first inspired by her mother, widely known for her charitable endeavors.
3. He doesn’t know what a double-adulterer is.
4. This is how he handled Latrobe (and I still don’t know the source of the quote he used).
5. Connected to (4), no sourcing for the claims, prior to the Reynolds Pamphlet, that AH had a reputation as an adulterer.

The History of Corpus Christi, Texas
The history of Corpus Christi, Texas, dates back to the early 1500s when Spanish explorers first arrived in the area. The city’s name, which means “Body of Christ” in Latin, comes from a religious festival celebrated by the Spanish when they discovered the bay. In the 1800s, it became a small trading post and military supply point during the Mexican-American War. Over time, Corpus Christi grew as a port city, especially because of its location along the Gulf of Mexico. In the 1900s, the discovery of oil nearby helped the city expand, and the port became one of the busiest in the country. Today, Corpus Christi is known for its rich history, strong economy, and role as a gateway to the Texas coast.

Alter Ego Artists: EPOS 257 & Jan Lesák Staring: MI(A)REK ČÁSLAVKA Galerie NoD Curator: Pavel Kubesa Výstavní projekt ALTER EGO volně navazuje na kultovní film 90. let režiséra Wiktora Grodeckého. Hlavní postava Marek a jeho představitel Miroslav Čáslavka inspiroval vizuální umělce Epose 257 a Jana Lesáka skrze náhodně nalezený materiál jeho osobních věcí a poznámek k takřka archeologickému průzkumu. Umělecký výzkum archivních materiálů se stal odrazovým můstkem pro rozplétání složité struktury sociálních a subkulturních souvislostí. Projekt přináší specifický vhled do temného období porevoluční Prahy, ve kterém umělci se spoluautorem a protagonistou Miroslavem Čáslavkou zkoumají prostředí sociálních periferií vznikající porevoluční metropole. Projekt se ve svém dúsledku stává živoucím monumentem temného prostředí 90. let. The exhibition project ALTER EGO is loosely based on the cult film of the 1990s by director Wiktor Grodecki. The main character Marek and his representative Miroslav Čáslavka inspired the visual artists Epose 257 and Jan Lesák through randomly found material of his personal belongings and notes to an almost archaeological research. The artistic research of archival materials became a springboard for unraveling the complex structure of social and subcultural contexts. The project provides a specific insight into the dark period of post-revolutionary Prague, in which the artists and co-author and protagonist Miroslav Čáslavka explore the environment of the social peripheries of the emerging post-revolutionary metropolis. The project becomes a living monument to the dark environment of the 1990s.
Sen o Hvězdě
Ať nikdo nespi! Ať nikdo nespi! Ty rovněž, ó Princezno! V komnatě své chladné, na hvězdy hledíš, jak chvějí se láskou a nadějí. Ale tajemství mé je ve mně skryté, mé jméno se nikdo nedozví! (Giacomo Puccini, Turandot)
V eponymní scéně skandálního a kultovního filmu Mandragora (1997) režiséra Wiktora Grodeckého vchází hlavní postava mladého Marka, ztvárněného tehdy začínajícím hercem Miroslavem Čáslavkou, do luxusního starožitně zařízeného apartmá movitého estétského sadisty. Mladému prostitutovi Markovi, podrobovanému otázkám typu „Máš rád Bacha?“ či „Znáš Caravaggia?“, se dostane extatického vyznání:
„Neznáš ho, ale ty jsi skutečný stvořitel všeho umění Světa. Kdyby nebylo Tebe, nebylo by žádné umění. Neexistovalo by. Nemělo by smysl cokoli vytvářet. Nebylo by co kopírovat, kdyby Tvé tělo neexistovalo.“
Následně, za prvního nápěvu písně Nessun Dorma z Pucciniho opery Turandot, je Marek jako Donatellův bronzový David postaven zcela nahý – s Goliášovým mečem v ruce – na připravený rotující piedestal. Celá scéna, zakončená sadistovým útokem na Markovy genitálie, nejenže opakuje klasické filosofické úvahy po smyslu a původu umění samotného (jako např.: „Je umění nápodobou – mimesis, nebo tvořením – poiesis“?), ale odhaluje i ty nejtemnější zákoutí kategorie „obdivu“, respektive: co to znamená „být hvězdou“?
A přesně před tento problém, tj. „Jak?“ či zda vůbec „Být či nebýt hvězdou“, staví nejen tato sekvence, ale i celý film Mandragora samotného Miroslava Čáslavku: mladý herec, který se znenadání objevil ve světě velkého filmu a následně brzy nato obdržel mnohonásobné ocenění na zahraničních filmových festivalech (pět vítězných cen na 10. ženevském filmovém festivalu včetně Ceny pro největší hereckou naději v roce 1997 či Cena diváků americkém Palm Springs v roce 1998), se s otázkou nabitého úspěchu, pozornosti a slávy nějak zkrátka musel vypořádat.
Odyssea „já“
"Není vůbec těžké se stát hvězdou. Těžké je s ní dospět v muže a hvězdu zapomenout". (Miroslav Čáslavka, 2010)
Celá „piedestalová Davidova scéna“ je v jistém smyslu metaforu herecké situace obecně. Hvězdný okamžik a obdiv je střídán nezájmem, pohrdáním, pádem a bolestí. Piedestal navíc vždy znamená i určitý distanc, jistou formu odtržení od své původní identity, a to bez ohledu na to, zda-li nás na něj vysadí naše sláva nebo mi sebe samotní. Být hvězdou znamená být vždy tak trochu někým jiným. Hvězda je „role“: je to příležitost pro rozvinutí našeho (jednoho či mnohého) alter ega. Pád z role je pak vždy pádem do neznáma, neboť staré „já“ zmizelo či „distancovalo se“.
Čáslavkův, Eposův a Lesákův remake piedestalové scény, který je centrálním dílem výstavy Alter Ego, dvacetikanálová videoinstalace sestříhaná z původních Čáslavkových autorských experimentálních VHS videokazet a čtyřkanálová zvuková stopa vycházející z náhodně nalezených deníků zachycují postavu Čáslavky v určité kvalitě změny. Jeho identita se rozplývá do nejasných kontur mezi reálným Čáslavkou, jeho hereckými rolemi a četnými alter egy, které spolu vytváří plastickou postavu anonymního průvodce drsným prostředím noční Prahy divokých devadesátých let.
Posun v charakteru vytvořené postavy (ve vztahu k filmové předloze) jakoby rezonoval v již absentujícím pokračování původní Pucciniho skladby v jejím samotném závěru:
Rozplyň se, ó noci! Hvězdy, zmizte za hory! Sotva úsvit vzejde, já nad ní zvítězím! Zvítězím! Zvítězím!
Nová, mnohoúrovňová Čáslavkova postava nabízí otrlejší a zkušenější vhled do temné metropolitní minulosti. Miroslav Čáslavka, Epos 257 a Jan Lesák prostřednictvím rozsáhlé multimediální kompozice ale nenabízejí pouze „Monument devadesátkové Prahy“, ale kontinuálně otevírají otázku lidské identity a integrity zároveň. V tom spočívá dynamika jejich Alter Ega – je to nejasná hranice mezi autentickým svědectvím, hrou na dokument a spekulativní fikcí, která rozehrává mnohonásobnou identitu postavy, pro níž je její alter ego jednou z posledních možností jak být v divokých kulisách velkoměsta na chvíli někým jiným: tedy ať už hvězdou, nebo možná naopak zpět sám sebou.
Výstava Alter Ego je pak v jistém smyslu maskulinní, tělesnou i duševní „Odysseou dospívání“ v tepajícím strojovém rytmu urbánního prostředí, které je nasycené příležitostmi k různým toxickým přechodovým rituálům. Naše alter ego je pak role, která nám je může pomoci i přežít.
Pavel Kubesa, 2021
