We heard you like fantasy so we’re making your fantasy a fantasy within the fantasy

I just saw one of those clickbaity articles with a fan theory about The Chronicles of Narnia that none of it was real even inside the novels.  That what happened is Lucy started making up stories about the wardrobe, Edmond played along except when the older children were around. Then the professor talked the older children into playing too since that’s what he and Polly did when his mother was ill. Okay but... why?  What’s the point?    It’s already a fantasy with obvious allegories about morality and religion.  Why make it a fantasy inside the novel itself? It’s like “We heard you liked fantasy so we put the fantasy inside a fantasy so it’s fantasy within the fantasy.”  ...Why?  It’s overly convoluted and all it does is suck the magick out of it. We have enough stories where the fantasy world is all inside the child’s head like in the movie version of The Wizard of Oz (In the novels it actually was a real place.) To me it’s like the edgy theories that “They’re all secretly dead.” which is such a tired “Fan theory” I don’t know why anyone thinks its clever anymore.  Like with Rugrats “It’s all in Angelica’s head.  The Rugrats are dead and she can’t cope.”  or “Coraline’s parents are dead and she can’t cope.”  There are plenty of stories where it really is all in the character’s head or they were dead to begin with as an actual plot point.  It doesn’t need to be a theory for every kids show or fantasy.

I’m sick of theories that suck the magick out of... well, magick. Like the Harry Potter theory that Harry Potter was so badly abused that his adventures in Hogwarts are what he imagines while he slowly dies from neglect, or he had a psychotic break, or it’s how he copes and he really is still living in the cupboard under the stairs. Stop sucking the fantasy out of fantasy.   Not everything needs to be dark and “grounded in reality.”   It got so bad that when Netflix released The Sandman (based on the stories by Neil Gaiman) I was fully prepared to deal with the fan theories (which probably exist ) that Morpheus is actually still locked in the glass cage from the first episode and this is what he fantasizes about while still imprisoned.  Or perhaps Morpheus isn’t the Lord of Dreams at all.  He’s just some poor bastard who is being held prisoner by occultists who think he’s the king of dreams and his mind broke and he finally believes it, himself.      Maybe one day these Edgelords coming up with these theories will be old enough to appreciate fairy tales again.

17th April 2024.

𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟕𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟒. Newspaper Of The North, a Dutch daily paper ran an article with photograph about Lena.

Translation;

"Ten-year-old Lena Zavaroni from England sings her way to the top in record time

A mature act, an almost adult voice, but a body like a child of six or seven years: these are the achievements of the ten-year-old English Lena Zavaroni. A girl whose connoisseurs say, "That's going to be a big star; She's a born comedienne."

Lena was briefly in our country — hot on the heels of a teen gentleman from the English Labour Inspectorate — to get a silver plate here, because 300,000 copies of her first picture were sold in record time: "Ma! He's making eyes at me!" In England, her picture is at the top of the top ten and as if it were all nothing, Lena has already recorded an LP, which incidentally has been given the same title as the single. Lena was born in Scotland. Ma is a deserving amateur singer, Dad a professional musician. Her Italian name comes from dad's father.

sometimes be right. She has — and this is striking for such a small thing — a remarkably powerful voice and good mimicry. She is now, as far as school hours allow, musically raised by Philip Solomon, the man who had already worked on young talent, such as Neil Reid. Lena has now received an award from the popular English TV show "Opportunity Knocks". Here Lena can often be heard on the radio and has also been seen a few times on TV in Toppop. However, she will not be on the Dutch screen much. The labour inspectorate only allows her to leave the country forty days a year, when it comes to singing.

A natural talent, they say of Lena in England and there they can".

𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟕𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟓. The Stage reported that Lena had been booked to do a Sunday concert at the Winter Gardens, Margate on the 17th August.

𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟕𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟏𝟗𝟕𝟔. Billboard reported that the BBC had managed to promote 'Some of these days' on commercial radio stations.

𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟕𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐩𝐫 𝟏𝟗𝟖𝟏. The Multi Coloured Swap Shop Star awards were broadcast on BBC1 at 16:40pm. Hosted by Noel Edmonds. with John Craven, Keith Chegwin and Maggie Philbin.

Watch this - Tracey Edmonds & YESJULZ - Divergent (2014) Official Trailer - Shailene Woodley

Can I show you a movie that will help you understand the current divisions inside our families? Our families are being divided by these corrupt billionaires, did you know that I’m going through similar struggles with my own family members? I have a lot of my family members who decided to join the corrupt Bill Gates too, it is very hardcore and very difficult what we are going through and it is essential that you are mentally prepared for this war against corruption, and it is happening inside our homes too. This is why I want to help you get the proper mental training that will help you become mentally strong, so you can endure the difficult climate of corruption surrounding us. I recommend the movie ‘Divergent,’ where the storyline explores the emergence of distinct groups formed by people’s loyalties to different billionaires. One group is devoted to billionaire Elon Musk, while another group aligns itself with billionaire Bill Gates. The narrative delves into the consequences and conflicts arising from these allegiances, making it a captivating exploration of societal divisions based on loyalty to powerful figures.“ Divergent is a 2014 American dystopian science fiction action film directed by Neil Burger, based on the 2011 novel of the same name by Veronica Roth.

Cosmos a spacetime odyssey ep 1

He wondered why some planets orbit the sun faster than others. The word “disaster” has it’s root in the Greek words for “bad star.”īefore Halley came to further the scientific understanding of comets in the early 18th century, he had another mystery to solve first. Various cultures thought they foretold famine, the deposition of a ruler, or even a specific plight, such as a small-pox outbreak.

The stars align with changing seasons and other phenomena on Earth. People understood, said Tyson: “What happens up there must be directed at us down here … What else could it be but a message?”Ĭomets were portents of doom. Different cultures “looked up at the same stars and found different pictures there,” Tyson said. He used the analogy of a baby in a bassinet looking up at a wondrous, starry sky.

Tyson started the episode with a more remote history, depicting civilization in its infancy. Portrait of Sir Isaac Newton in 1689, painted by Sir Godfrey Kneller. But astronomer Edmond Halley, whose name flies through space to this day attached to the famed comet, became a friend and patron of the young recluse and brought Newton’s groundbreaking work out of his closed quarters. Newton had been burned by Robert Hooke, who took credit for some of Newton’s early theories and continued to plague Newton in this manner through the course of his career. In the third episode of “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey,” Neil DeGrasse Tyson took viewers through a rapid shift in how people understand the cosmos, a story revolving around a single, sullen, secluded student at Cambridge University-Isaac Newton.

Cosmos a spacetime odyssey season 2 release date

I hear the investigation is ongoing, and the networks want it to be completed before making a decision. I hear that Fox and National Geographic will likely postpone the Season 2 premiere, currently slated for March 3. Patterson made it his mission to draw public attention to the detrimental effects of lead in the environment and dedicated his career to fighting against the petroleum and chemical industry, eventually achieving public health's biggest victory of the 20th century. To determine the true age of the Earth, geochemist Clair Patterson developed the uranium-lead dating method to make an unprecedented discovery - calculating Earth's age of 4.īut Patterson's groundbreaking discoveries were just beginning. Then, host Neil deGrasse Tyson explains the neural network in our brains which determine our sense of smell and memory, and later, he travels deep beneath the surface of the Earth to discover the most mysterious particle we know. The Ship of the Imagination ventures on an epic voyage to the bottom of a dewdrop to explore the universe on the smallest scale and observe exotic life forms invisible to the naked eye. Later, William Herschel discovers the infrared and the signature hidden in the light of every star, eventually unlocking one of the keys to the cosmos. The Ship of the Imagination travels back in time to reveal 11th century Europe and North Africa during the golden age of Islam, when brilliant physicist Ibn al-Haytham discovered the scientific method and first understood how we see, and how light travels. Explores how light, time and gravity affects our perception of the universe. It was Halley's patience and generosity which allowed Newton to conquer his fear of isolation and find the courage to publish his masterwork, "Principia Mathematica" which launched a scientific revolution. Later, Tyson visits the birth-place of Sir Isaac Newton and retraces the unlikely friendship between Newton and brilliant polymath Edmond Halley.

Neil deGrasse Tyson sets off on the Ship of the Imagination to chase a single comet through its million-year plunge toward Sol. These are some of the things that molecules do. Artificial selection is one example, eyes another, of the well-documented and inescapable process of evolution-change in a population of species over time-by natural selection. A thrilling, new adventure across space and time begins.

Appreciation post for the incredible bullshitting skills of the Reverend Gerald Hatch (Neil Edmond). A man who, when called upon to distract a congregation with a shaggy dog story, steps up on his busted ankle and stalls for England. God bless you, sir.

- Vicar! You’ve done hundreds of weddings. You must have some stories. - Oh, not really. - Really? No stories? - No, nothing very… - Being modest! You have to help me. Alison’s gone to find Clare and I don’t know what’s going on. - Right, I just don’t - - Make something up?

“Um, hello. Um. I, er. I remember one wedding. Goodness me, it must be, um, 20 years ago, at least - when, um, during the vows, all of a sudden the doors flew open, and a dog ran into the church. Ha! Barking! Barking away, he was. Woof, woof, woof. But, er, that was just the start...”

“...he had a nut allergy - a nut allergy, yes, because Janet had already given the peanut butter to the, the dog...”

“It became clear that the dog was trying to tell us something. It was pointing, y’know, with its, with its paw. So we all got up out of our seats and followed the creature...”

“We, we gathered around the well and oh! we thought we could hear a baby crying. Well, nobody had a ladder, so we were going to have to use the bucket, but, um, there was...”

“Well I had a flathead screwdriver, but that was no good because it was a phillips... Anyway, the point is, we had no way of taking...”

“...through the gate was a challenge because she had an artificial limb that had come loose, and we also had to make sure she didn’t excessively...”

- Incredible story. What happened to the baby? - Oh! Well...
