The fierce imperative to create - poet and novelist Alan Humm

Alan Humm has been in the creative arts all his life. He’s the driving force behind the poetry magazine One Hand Clapping, which has featured well-known authors such as Hilary Mantel, Ali Smith and Colm Toibin next to those who are less well known. This year he has several projects of his own that are finally coming to blossom – a collection of poetry, and, most recently, his debut novel, The…

These 2 heavily watermarked photos (but otherwise the best quality I've ever seen) come from NTB scanpix and both have the #wdytya hashtag, maybe from the Genealogy TV show "Who Do You Think You Are?". Their daughter Liv featured in season 9, in an episode that was focused on her father's ancestors (but surely they talked about Bebe even if they just mentioned her as being Liv's mum?).

Martina Michèle “Tina” Weymouth (born November 22, 1950) is best known as one of the founding members and bassist of my favorite band Talking Heads and lead vocalist for sideband new wave band Tom Tom Club, which she founded with husband and Talking Heads lead vocalist David Byrne and her husband Chris Frantz on the drums. Tina was one of the front-runners for female bassist in the music scene she is a phenomenal bassist and is definitely an influence for many musicians. Tina and Chris still will play a few Tom Tom Club shows and if they are anything like me are hoping for a Talking Head reunion.

[exploding-plastic-inevitable]

tbh from a political perspective the power of shock value art is very very limited and can reduce a movement to just anougher scene by conflating ideals with aesthetic and generally making good theory offputting to potential future comrades because they associate it more with gorey and weirdly sexual imagry then criticisms of systems of power and potential alternatives to them

[justfandomtings]

Here's a 'what if' so we all now that each of the boys (including Charles) has a part in the prophecy and add a dynamic that balances each other out. So what if you took away one or one of them decides to leave?

(Now we already kinda seen this since almost all of the members left at one point. But I want to see what it would be like if they left indefinitely. Wont be including Charles since we already know how that goes.)

NATHAN

Let's start with Nathan, the front man, the voice.

On a band perspective, obviously they would have trouble you know...actually playing. They would try to find someone to replace him, even using pickles as the front man for a little while. But it wouldn't last since it's hard to sing and play drums in live performances. And the fans just absolutely despise who ever they bring to replace Nathan. Even when they like the guy and admit sounds pretty good, the fans are just not having it. And yea, the others have to admit. When they find someone they like and it sounds good. Unfortunately it never fits, something about Nathan's voice was just so raw and natural to the point his regular voice seemed to always be in a growl. Also Nathan just seemed to keep everything together, even though the band mostly followed Nathan since we was the one creating almost all their shenanigans. If the band starts to fall apart, he would pull them together. He was also stern and snapped them back into reality. He didn't lie to them to persevere their feelings, he pushed them to their best, and disciplined them when they were in the wrong. He was that perfect authority figure for them. He wasn't as stern as Charles but also wasn't a slacker and got some things done. Also the guys just miss him, he was their friend, their leader, their voice. With him gone, they really didn't have a way to sing their songs or have anyone to guide them in the right direction. This would even lead to the band disbanding completely without him.

Nathan brings the stability.

PICKLES

Let's go on to Pickles.

Good old drunk red head Pickles.

Pickles Is hinted at being the oldest or at the most experienced of the band. Having a band before experiencing the good and the bad. He's done every single thing under the sun having a lot of knowledge.

Pickles has been shown to either being the first one to try something new or being the one to introduce the band to something. He is probably the least naive out of the group. His nonchalant and easy going additude helps the band do things they were hesitant to do before. Once pickles explains or tries it out first to show it's safe, the band is there to follow soon after. His nature brings in a calm, passive additude to the group.

Pickles is also a very talented drummer, being able to push himself past most limits and play in conditions with lack of balance and blinding lights. He's able to keep steady and not mess up a single note. Even under the worse of influences like alcohol, drugs, flying at a high speed in the air. Nothing deters him.

Not many replacements can keep up with pickles in a lot of things. His high tolerance to drugs/alcohol, his easy going additude in shit situations, being the first to try something new, the one to explain how something works to the band.

Sure there able to find someone who sounds decent or make another (non evil) drum machine but it's just not the same. The band is on 10 almost all times without his easy going attitude and get suspicious at anything new that comes along.

This leads the boys to being more sheltered and unaware.

Pickles brings the guidance.

SKWISGAAR

Skwisgaar is a musican, this man loves music and will guarantee a good performance. He doesn't show off, he doesn't play solely for the money and fame. He loves music, he will go to the point of taking extreme measures to get a track done. He has this constant want to work and improve on not only guitar but other aspects of the band like bass.

This raw love and appreciation for music motivates the others in some way. Just seeing him practice non stop gives the others this drive to make music.

There's also something about Skwisgaar, idk really how to explain. He gives me cool guy energy. (That's the best fucking way I can explain this.) He's hot, talented, he has fun with the guys, he isn't fake.

He's just a cool fucking guy, being shown to be the most popular and desired member of the band.

So when he leaves, the band takes a big hit. Toki takes over his place and as we saw before he showboats and never practices, leaving the guitar sounding less than stellar.

Also with no one to record the bass parts, that makes the instrumental quality sound even worse.

They don't even know what to write for the guitar and bass part since murderface or toki refuse to help.

While not much was taken from the dynamic between the band, this completely fucks up the music side of the band.

Skwisgaar brings the talent.

TOKI

Toki, doesn't add much music wise. Skwisgaar would be more than happy to be the only guitarist.

But toki forces the band to do something that they have trouble with doing their selves. That's showing emotion.

Toki is unapologetically emotional, loving, and does not mind doing or acting in 'unmasculine' ways.

He forces the others to face and feel their emotions. He is sometimes the first to have to boys bring morals into a situation. He even makes someone like Nathan, the creator of the no caring rule. Openly express his emotions when something is wrong.

He does that to all of them. Without toki, there would never be anyone telling each other how they felt. They would all have a wall around all of them, have a facade they show to the others but never there true selves. They probably wouldn't even be as close as they are now without toki breaking that barrier.

Toki brings the love to the group.

MURDERFACE

Murderface....huh. what does he bring? I mean yeah, in the show they say he brings the negativity which is the band's drive and meaning behind their songs. But is that really it? Is that all Murderface is good for?

I mean, what does he bring? He admits that he doesn't play half the time, is the main instigator, uses his friends, is unpleasant to be around and just a angry little ball.

And yet..the guys still care about him. He's still gifted a life that many people spend their whole lives trying to get a piece of what he has.

But he gives nothing. Or does he?

Murderface has all of the worst qualities of the other members.

Nathan's selfishness, pickles recklessness, Skwisgaar's aloofness and tokis childish nature, and other bad qualities the others have shown.

But as the show goes on, the show changes. The characters changes. From 5 dudes in a band with insane popularity acting like sheltered assholes. To characters filled with trauma and hinting at more to their stories, to God's destined to save the world.

The characters go through changes and learn more about themselves and take steps on becoming a better person.

Pickles learns to stand up to his mother and tell her to fuck off. Not taking the abuse that she puts him through.

Nathan admits to his selfishness and apologies to his bandmates for his terrible behavior.

Skwisgaar accepts that he may never find his father and is the first to accept his role as a God, continuing his purpose of playing music.

Toki has basically relived his trauma. What he went through during his kidnapping is scarily close to what he experienced through his childhood. He does not face his trauma instead hiding behind a childlike additude. Surrounding himself with toys and other child like activities. (While we don't know how toki is doing after the kidnapping. I hope he'll start to take the steps of healing from the new trauma he's indured also from the old trauma he seems to sweep under the rug. Finally going through a healing process he definitely deserves)

Then you have murderface, he is the most stubborn out of the group. And is one of the last few members that needs to go through this reflective process.

There are moments within the show were he does let that wall down and admit some feelings. But nothing good really comes from it, he never goes through the other half of understanding why he feels that way. Why he sees himself that way and come to the conclusion.

He even had to again be told when saving toki. That he is loved and cared for. But something in his mind is preventing that to come to him.

This is why he was the perfect candidate to be used as the traitor. All the other band members in some way accepted their flaws and their brotherhood between them.

But that hasn't gotten to murderface yet. So when it is time for them to drown him and bring him back, murderface will finally see and understand that he is loved. He is cared for, he doesn't have to be this way. He. Can. Change.

Everything the others offer to the band is something murderface desperately needs in his life. He needs that stability, the guidance, the ability to express his talent, (we have seen quite a bit in the show that murderface is highly talented. Just to lazy to do anything with it.) And he most definitely needs the love.

So when we get through the galaktikon and they complete the prophecy.

Murderface will finally go to the other side with his bandmates. Completing them.

Murderface brings and represents the ability to change and heal in the group.

So that's it! This is on the more theory side of things. But this is what I think the characters bring to each other and how they compete one another. :)

hey everyone!! i never expected to receive such a reaction to my last yoongi masterlist so I hope you enjoy this one as well! it’s not as long as the last but it is still in alphabetical order for your convenience! thank you for the love and please share it to these amazing authors!

boseong breakfast - 24k [inn owner! yoongi]

it may be misfortune that brings you to min yoongi’s door looking for a place to stay, but luckily holly lodge has a vacancy.

buttercup - 6k+ [stoner fuckboy! yoongi] 

Min Yoongi wears leather jackets, fucks you like he hates you, spends most of his days on the wrong side of a blunt, and calls you the sweetest names when no one else is around. And you definitely aren’t falling in love with him.

clair de lune - 23k+ [musican!yoongi x escort! reader]

You were ready to leave a part of your life to move on to the next, and he is willing to give you a chance to end it glamorously. But at what cost? And will he be a part of the life you are leaving behind or will he be there for the next part of it?

flux ripples - 18k+ [poly! yoonkook]

Things are starting to escalate. As your relationship grows, so does the challenge that comes along with it.

he noticed. - 200+ [ boyfriend! yoongi]

He knows you wouldn’t stop even if he asked you to, and it would only embarrass you in the long run.

romancing the tome - 22k [archaeologist! yoongi]

Min Yoongi is many things: renowned archaeologist, versatile hat-wearer, on a bit of an unlucky streak with his work and kind of an ass. What he isn’t, is fluent in Latin. Meaning, Yoongi can’t quite determine if he’s being led astray on his most recent archaeological expedition. Enter you, cultural linguist and all-around badass. The goal? Treasure. The means? Your teensy, tiny car. The problem? Min Yoongi is so damn annoying, you might just kill him first.

the singularity theory - 9.4k+ [yoongi ft. taehyung] 

in your last year of undergrad, you find out what a gloryhole is at the expense of your final year thesis. it’s a classic example of a psychology experiment that went way, way wrong.

want a taste? - 18.3k [shopping mall! au]

pretzel pro. most skillful tongue in the food court world. allegedly. that’s what yoongi keeps telling you anyway. of course, you’re reasonably skeptic of his claims- but if there’s one thing that motivates the notoriously- lethargic man, is proving skeptics wrong.

thanks again and please send me some of your favorites!! xoxo

Live that Life of a Musician. Started performing to the crowds. I Love the Music. I wanted to Live the Lifestyle. Fame, Succeess, and Fortune; that's what every Musician wants to do. 1st I felt in Love with the Music then I wanted to become a Musician because I fell in Love with the Music. I wanted to make my own Music and I wanted my Music to be heard so I became a Musician. So I did I wanted to Live the Lifestyle, Fame Success and Fortune.

[thats-sir-dyke-to-you]

Do you know what tiny change in your life can make a dramatic difference to the way you think? Stop using male-as-default language.

Stop saying "guys" when the group you're addressing has women in it. When you pose a hypothetical question, make a woman the subject of it, not a man.

Or go even further... what do you have to lose? Patriarchy is a poison so diffused into our society, you can't help but breathe it in, why not try to freshen the air on your own? Use female-as-default language. We've had millennia of MANkind, huMAN, MAN this MAN that. Men as hypotheticals, men as leaders, men as political figures, men as athletes, men as doctors, men as everything.

Ive had enough.

Say "womankind". Think "womankind". I dont care if its clunky. I dont care that its not inclusive—men have never cared about including us.

I dont care that it wont change things on a systematic scale.

But I get to have this tiny rebellion; this private refusal; something I will jot cede any ground on. Its fucking glorious.

But why stop there? Go further.

When talking about a hypothetical figure, ensure that it is always a woman. Make it so every politician is a woman, every engineer, every medical professional, every [insert occupatuon here]—until proven otherwise. Reverse the subtle sexist descriptors in your language that place women in an inferior position to men. There are Sports and "men's sports". There are Businesswomen, and "men who work in business". There are Scientists and "men scientists". And yes, saying "men [profession]" is important.

Don't you hate hearing about "Woman [profession]"? Don't you despise how incorrect the grammar of "woman musicans", "woman politicians", "women authors."? Aren't you sick of the faux-inclusivity that makes it clear that "woman" was tacked on as a second thought; as a matter of optics?

Because I am. And I want men to get a taste of their own medicine.

Thats still not enough. You can go further. How about this: Assume that all academic discoveries were and are made by women.

"Wow, whoever discovered [scientific phenomenon] must have been a brilliant woman."

Academics are often referred to only using their surnames, why should it be unreasonable to assume that it could have belonged to a woman? Perhaps it is because men kept us out of higher education throughout history. Subvert the narrative. Refuse to acknowledge them, as they refused to acknowledge us

Women have always been delegated to lesser; to second class. Why is there this precieved harm in men recieving the same treatment? They make fun of our "SJW complaining". Surely they can stomach dealing with the same treatment—especially seeing as they think they are so much more rational and smart and strong.

After all, if it does turn out to be harmful, then that is just an omission of guilt. If men find female-as-default language humiliating and emasculating, then surely they must be able to acknowledge that male-as-default is just as harmful to women.

Don't you want to be able to ask, "hey, what are you ladies up to?" to a group of men with the same nonchalant tone that you would use to ask a group of women "oh hey, how are you guys doing??"

Oh, and another more important thing. Don't you notice how women are so often refered to as girls? "How are you girls?", "whats a pretty girl like you doing here?", girl's night, girl talk, call girl, the "girls, girls, girls" on strip club advertisments. Aren't you sickened by it? Aren't you tired of the constant infantilisation? I am, so I propose you extend the same courtesy to men—oh wait, I'm sorry... boys. And while you're doing this, i suggest that you only use the word "girl" when refering to children.

You can create this wonderful little world in your head when men aren't the default. You can pretend. You can escape.

Male-as-default language has conditioned society into thinking Men Are Better, and that women are inferior to them—or worse—unmentionable. Unremarkable. Forgettable.

And you know what... men are lucky. They are lucky that the most "harm" i can do to them is this: Pointless little attacks with shitty little weaponised words. And what's really funny is they are so lucky and so privileged as to think that what I'm doing (this so-called man-hating. This so-called misandry) is just as bad as what they have done to me; to us; to the women who came before us.

But thats not the only reason they are lucky—do you want to know the real one? My favourite one?

They are lucky that feminism is a movement for women's liberation, and not women's revenge.
