Do you plan to write anything about B-127 again? I would like to see something more about that little talker written by you, because I love the way you write, it leaves me wanting to see more.

(sorry if there is something misspelled, English is not my native language)

I do plan on continuing his- he’s extra and unwittingly a terror

The Coma Kid Pt 2

TFO B-127 x Reader

• “Please stop that. Or, you know what? It’s fine,” he says as you kick against the driver’s side window as he speeds through the desert. Sooner or later, you have to wear yourself out. Right? You’d gotten tired of screaming after he’d transformed around you. “I’m B-127, by the way. You can call me Bee. Or B-127. Or Badassatron. You know, whichever. You have really strong legs.”

• Slumping across the center console, a foot against the window that isn’t breaking no matter how many times you mule kick it as hard as you can. All you’ve managed to do is exhaust yourself and make your ankles and calves hurt. And he’s not shut up. The entire time. You’re not sure which is worse, the rambling or the kidnapped by a giant alien that can become a car. Starting upside down out the other window as sky and telephone poles zip by, you try to figure out what exactly you’d done to deserve this? Maybe you should have donated more to charities. Been a tiny bit religious, because some higher power decided you’d earned alien Chatty Cathy.

• “You can feel that, too?” He asks when you finally give up kicking him. “That warm, happy feeling? Isn’t it awesome? Like we’re meant to find each other? Best friends and maybe lovers?” Hears you groan and throw an arm across your eyes as he returns to the Ark with you. Transforming and immediately having to catch you as you make another frantic escape attempt. When he looks up, Elita-1 is there staring at him, mouth open. “Look what I found!” Her optics narrow.

• Upside down, you watch the pink alien close their mouth and throw up a hand in the universal language of someone who really doesn’t get paid enough to deal with whatever this is. Pinky is absolutely booking it, pausing long enough to poke her head in a doorway and yell. “Optimus, deal with that,” she says, pointing at you and the yellow terror before stomping off. And then a much bigger robot is looking out, spotting you in Bee’s hands and his shoulders slump. Wait. Is that giant, robot daddy? Was Pinky mom? Big guy definitely gives exhausted dad vibes as he walks over.

• “I found a human,” B-127 says, holding you up triumphantly. “We’re best friends,” he adds as you scream ‘no, we’re not!’ “Aren’t they great? We’re going to have a ton of sparklings together. You know, I’m going to need a bigger habsuite, and-” Denta snapping together nearly biting his glossa when you kick him in the jaw.

• Yeah, big guy must be dad. He’s almost panicky as he looks around for help dealing with the hyper menace. “Um, Elita?” He calls as you try to kick Bee again and he just catches you by the ankles in his free hand. “You can’t just- I don’t think humans work that way?” You’ve seen adults with that same desperate horror before when cornered by timeshare salesmen or folks with religious pamphlets. “Elita! Get back here and help me!

Me and my teacher have been talking about Robespierre and he told me that there are rumors that he might've been homosexual. He then asked me if that would've affected his reputation. Who made the rumors and who is the subject that made people think that Robespierre was possibly homosexual?

I don’t get how Robespierre being homosexual can be called a rumor when it’s really clear as day? I mean, Robespierre openly admits he’s got a boyfriend in this letter to Maurice Duplay:

Okay, jokes aside, I don’t know when exactly the claim that Robespierre could have been homo first showed up, but as far as I’m aware it wasn’t one that circulated during his life nor one that was among the slanders thrown against him in the aftermath of his death. So if today, the idea of him possibly being gay is not unheard of, I don’t think it was one that affected him and his reputation during his lifetime.

When trying to find exactly from where and when this idea originates, I actually only found somewhat recent works (that said, I know it dates back far earlier than that, I just don’t know who first came up with it). According to Peter McPhee, Jean Artarit presents the following thesis in his Maximilien Robespierre ou l’impossible filiation from 2003:

The psychoanalyst Jean Artarit is at an extreme, offering the insight that Robespierre’s misspelling in an electoral pamphlet of a shoemaker’s name Lantillette as Languillette (“baby eel”) shows a longing to cut off the penis. For Robespierre was apparently a repressed homosexual with a castration complex, a misogynist and pathological narcissist constantly searching for a good father and an all-powerful mother.

There’s also this passage from The Alyson Almanac (1989):

Although Robespierre may have never acted on his homosexual feelings, his strong attraction to members of his own sex is indisputable. His attachment to the handsome Saint-Just, known as "The Archangel of the Revolution,” was the source of frequent rumors.

There’s basically the answer to your question regarding who (most often?) is the subject who made people think Robespierre was homosexual — his nine years younger co-worker Louis Antoine Saint-Just. Although, again, I’m pretty sure the author is mistaken here and that no rumors regarding them being a thing are proven to have existed while they were still alive (right @frevandrest…?)

What makes up the idea of Robespierre and Saint-Just as a couple is mostly a bunch of circumstantials which to be boring fair can be interpreted in a bunch of ways that aren’t romantically and/or sexually linked as well. These include (but are not limited to) both Saint-Just and Robespierre being unmarried (the latter even allegedly shouting ”I will never marry!” in an anecdote, and this despite the fact that we have clues of marriage plans between him and several women, none of which ended in a wedding), contemporaries admitting a certain closeness between the two (examples: 1, 2, 3), Robespierre’s host claiming Saint-Just would go straight to Robespierre’s chamber without talking to anyone else in the family, later allegations of Saint-Just being super handsome (despite the fact that contemporaries just appear to have described him as average looking) and finally the fact that Saint-Just stayed with Robespierre until the bitter end, going out with the aim to defend him on 9 thermidor and dying with him on the scaffold one day later.

Hey so I did this originally on someone else's post, but I figured it may need to be its own post just for the sake of organization. This is with regards to the angel pamphlet that that one demon is holding while gloating to Aziraphale and Crowley after the magic show.

*Credit to @antiphilosophia for both the picture and the wonderful idea to analyze this!

Right-o, so to the best of my knowledge, here is what the text says. 3 question marks (???) Indicate that I don't know what it says. An asterisk (*) marks either my thoughts on the unsurety of the word or other notes about the word, such as it being misspelled.

*¹⁶ Misspelled "SUSPISTUS" in original text.*

*¹⁷ Not 100% on the "MISHAPS IS BAD" part but it definitely says something like "MISHA?? I? BA?".

Overall, pretty fun to decipher! Let me know if you have any suggestions for the missing words or questions or anything, I am so ready to go deeper into this!

So a few weeks back, I've won my first short story competition prize (I wasn't in the first 3 but got "special award" (idk how to translate it lol it sounds so stupid). It's like an honorary mention but with a prize or sg like that)

So a few days pass and I'm in the hospital for wisdom teeth removal, my mom gives me the certificate (?) and a little printed version of the winners which came in the mail. I start reading. And I notice they used my official name instead of my pen name.

It confused me greatly. They asked for our pen names when we signed for the competition. I wrote an email asking why they did that.

They write back, says its fixed.

I've also noticed some other errors in the pamphlet as well as a familiar name and story. It was someone who's story I've beta read before, so I wrote to them, congratulating (they got 3rd place) and I found out they had a pen name too which they didn't use. They didn't even use their current official name but their maiden name. I've wrote an email about it too but I don't think they noticed cuz it didn't get fixed.

I also made the mistake of not checking the correction. Guys, never believe people who once made a mistake, they might do it again.

I've noticed yesterday that they wrote my email address name (misspelled, mind you) instead of my pen name... It made me feel things, mostly disrespected. Wrote an email again. It got fixed that day, thankfully, and correctly this time. So I'm not angry anymore.

I just wanted to share my frustration about what should've been the beginning of my writing carrier and it should've been a happy experience but instead it left me with mixed feelings.

And it's okay. One day I'll check another milestone and it's gonna be filled with joy. Bad experience happen. It doesn't change the fact that I wrote something that people found worthy of publishing and that they liked. I honestly believe it wasn't malicious intent, it was an honest mistake and I've calmed down.

So people, keep writing!

A B1 battle droid, painted in 501st blue and white, walks up to tech with a datapad and stylus in hand.

"hello! I am B1-0516, you may call me Bats. I am collecting signatures of any interested parties to send to the Senate for sentient rights and citizenship for both clones and droids of any type." He chirped. "Would you like to sign your designation and name to the petition? I also have pamphlets!"

Ah, an excellent segue into educating my followers about the dangers of phishing attacks. Beware if someone approaches you, via any medium, with the characteristics above:

An unfamiliar greeting, such as a Battle Droid with a nickname

Unusual content or request, such as a petition for legislation that has no hope of passing

Requests for personal information, such as my designation, which could easily make me a target of decommissioning

There may also be other signs that you are a target of a phishing scam, such as:

Grammar errors and misspelled words.

Email addresses and domain names that don't match.

Requests fora transfer of funds or requests for login credentials.

The **most important** - urgency! The situation is designed to provoke an anxious response, such as informing you of credits you did not spend, or that your accounts have been attacked.

Amabie

Amabie is a legendary Japanese mermaid or merman with a bird-beak like mouth and three legs or tail-fins, who allegedly emerges from the sea, prophesies either an abundant harvest or an epidemic, and instructed people to make copies of its likeness to defend against illness.

The amabie appears to be a variant or misspelling of the amabiko or amahiko, otherwise known as the amahiko-nyūdo, also a prophetic beast depicted variously in different examples, being mostly as 3-legged or 4-legged, and said to bear ape-like (sometimes torso-less), daruma doll-like, or bird-like, or fish-like resemblance according to commentators.

This information was typically disseminated in the form of illustrated woodblock print bulletins or pamphlets or hand-drawn copies. The amabie was depicted on a print marked with an 1846 date. Attestation to the amabiko predating amabie had not been known until the discovery of a hand-painted leaflet dated 1844.

According to legend, an amabie appeared in Higo Province, around the middle of the fourth month, in the year Kōka-3 in the Edo period. A glowing object had been spotted in the sea, almost on a nightly basis. The town's official went to the coast to investigate and witnessed the amabie. According to the sketch made by this official, it had long hair, a mouth like bird's bill, was covered in scales from the neck down and three-legged. Addressing the official, it identified itself as an amabie and told him that it lived in the open sea. It went on to deliver a prophecy: "Good harvest will continue for six years from the current year; if disease spreads, draw a picture of me and show the picture of me to those who fall ill." Afterward, it returned to the sea. The story was printed in the woodblock-printed bulletins, where its portrait was printed, and this is how the story disseminated in Japan.

The accompanying caption texts describes some as glowing (at night) or having ape-like voices, but description of physical appearance is rather scanty. The newspapers and commentators however provide iconographic analysis of the pictorials (hand-painted and prints).

The majority of pictorial represent the amabiko/amabie as 3-legged (or odd-number legged), with a couple cases rather like an ordinary quadruped.

An amahiko/amabiko (‘sea prince’), whose appearance in Echigo Province is documented on a leaflet dated Tenpō 15.

The hand-copied pamphlet illustration depicts a creature rather like an ape with three legs, the legs seemingly projecting directly from the head (without any neck or torso in-between). The body and face are covered profusely with short hair, except for it being bald-headed. The eyes and ears are human-like, with a pouty or protruding mouth. The creature appeared in the year 1844 and predicted doom to 70% of the Japanese population that year, which could be averted with its picture-amulet.

The Amahiko-no-mikoto (‘His Highness Heaven Prince’) was spotted in a rice paddy in Yuzawa, Niigata, as reported by the Tokyo Nichinichi Shinbun from 1875. The crude newspaper illustration depicts a daruma doll-like or ape-like, hairless-looking four-legged creature. This example stands out since it was emerged not in the ocean but in a wet rice field. Also, the addition of the imperial/divine title of "-mikoto" has been noted by one researcher as resembling the name of one of the Amatsukami or "Heavenly Deities" of ancient Japan.

This creature in the crude drawing is said to resemble a daruma doll or an ape.

There are at least three examples of the amabiko crying like apes.

The texts of all three identify the place of appearance as Shinji-kōri, a non-existent county in Higo Province, and names the discoverer who heard the ape voices heard by night and tracked down the amabiko as one Shibata Hikozaemon (or Goroemon/Gorozaemon).

One ape-voiced amabiko (‘nun prince’) is represented by a hand-painted copy owned by Kōichi Yumoto, an authority in the study of this yōkai. This document has a terminus post quem of 1871 (Meiji 4) or later, The painting is said to depict a quadruped, with extremely close similarity in form to the mikoto (ape- or daruma doll-like) by commentators. However, the amahiko that cried like an ape is reported to have been drawn as a "three-legged monster". And the encyclopedia example described the amabiko as a kechō (‘monstrous bird’) in its sub-heading.

A tangential point of interest is that this text transcribed in the newspaper refers to "we amahiko who dwell in the sea", suggesting there are multiple numbers of the creature.

The foregoing amahiko (‘prince’) was also described as a hikari-mono (glowing object). The glowing is an attribute common to other examples, such as the amabie and amahiko (‘nun prince’) reported in the Nagano Shinbun.

Amabiko (‘heaven prince’) was also purportedly seen glowing at night in the offing of the Western Sea, during the Tenpō era, and illustrations were brought for sale at 5 sen apiece to Kasai kanamachi village, Tokyo, as reported in another newspaper, dated 20 October 1881. This creature allegedly predicted global-scale doom thirty-odd years ahead, conveniently coinciding with the time the peddlers were selling them, prompting researcher Eishun Nagano to comment that while the text may or may not have been genuinely composed in the Edo Period, the illustrations were probably contemporary, though he guesses that the merchandise was surimono woodblock print. The creature also professed to serve the heavenly Tenbu or Deva divinities (of Buddhism), even though he is presumably sea-dwelling.

The amahiko nyūdō (‘nun prince monk’) on a surimono print, which purportedly appeared in Hyūga Province, The illustration here resembles an old man with bird-like body and nine legs.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, amabie became a popular topic on Twitter in Japan. Manga artists (e.g. Chica Umino, Mari Okazaki and Toshinao Aoki) published their cartoon versions of amabie on social networks. The Twitter account of Orochi Do, an art shop specializing in hanging scrolls of yōkai, is said to have been the first, tweeting "a new coronavirus countermeasure" in late February 2020. A twitter bot account (amabie14) has been collecting images of amabie since March 2020.

I'm so, so glad that pre-show Manderley is back, mostly because I forgot how badly I usually need to pee right before the show.

I got my driver's license relatively late in life - by which I mean last July - and I used to joke that no road rage could ever be more infuriating than getting stuck behind audience members who are clinging together or blocking the doorways or stairs. I have yet to be wrong about that. If you choose to wrap your arms around your girlfriend's stomach and then both maneuver around like a bewildered horse, you deserve whatever happens after that.

God bless Emily Oldak, really. At my last show before the shutdown I was surprised to see her as Lady Macduff, and these past sad two years I've been telling myself that if that was it, if the show never came back, I was glad that was how I went out. Even gladder that it wasn't.

Much as I've been thinking about Danvers, I've never really considered that she thinks Duncan is anything other than an annoying guy who won't stop groping her. When Oldak/Danvers held his shirt to her face, she looked like she was about to cry. I don't think it's that she's in love with him, or that she feels guilty for helping take him out. I don't know. Danvers loves stasis, and controlling people, and also I assume other stuff.

One of my favorite things to do is watch the nurse in the back office. Joy Marie/Nurse takes out a knife and carves a very precise MB into the textbook page.

When the crowd is awful I tend to gravitate to the fifth floor, and since the reopening I've been spending a lot of time just opening drawers and reading records and generally paying attention to all the things I took for granted. I spent a long time going through the files in the doctor's office, and reading the notes scribbled on the blotter. One of the patients washed her hair on the first day of her menstrual cycle and needs to be monitored. A few visits back I found a pamphlet indicating that doing so will make a woman insane. So. Check on her.

I also found a medical journal up there, which is probably the most interesting thing I've ever found in the McK, and the only thing I've ever wished I could take with me to read in the light. One of the articles in it discussed the reasons couples remain childless. #1 is self centeredness (31%), and #2 is the wife's career (22%). I could have a field day with all the thematic implications. Also I don't remember what the other reasons were, but "we had a kid but my wife was nursing it and then bashed its brains out" wasn't on there.

Speaking of the fifth floor, the crucial object in my go-to special spot has been REMOVED! Hope it's back soon.

JWW is a wonderfully silly, joyous Porter, but nobody here needs me to tell them that. Ruth/Agnes also flung her room key at him, and then she giggled after he beat her to the phone. I can't imagine what Agnes has to be laughing about, but she's a joy to watch.

The painting in the matron's hut is, I assume, Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem (or back? I don't remember if Jesus is with them...) Anyway, if he's not, that would imply Mary's pregnant, which of course would tie the matron to Lady Macduff. I just Googled it to see if I could find the painting and confirm. No dice, but "mary joseph donkey bethlehem painting" yielded an incredible amount of clip art.

When going through the ledger in Paisley Sweets, I came across two things of interest: 1) Whoever wrote "non-pareils" misspelled it as "non-perils", which made me laugh, because we could really, really use some non-perils these days. 2) There's a letter from the proprietor describing his plans for Mayfair, where he says they're expecting a much greater turnout than in the past two years. Made me smile.

I started writing these things years ago to help me remember what happened each visit, and they've served that purpose well. I'm sorry they've gotten so myopic and introspective, but it's interesting (for me, at least), to look back across them and see how they way I see and think has changed. I'm not good at big-picture stuff, I'm afraid. If I was I'd have a different career. I don't like big picture stuff; I like critical analysis and being a hater, which is what academia is.

The Punchline.

“I promise you, ‘Mollymauk’ was spelled with a ‘u’.” Caleb pulled out a pamphlet from the circus, one that had Molly’s name written on it.

“But that’s not how you spell the name for the bird that I- Molly was named after.” Kingsleigh sighed. “And besides, I don’t have the paint to change it back.”

Caleb raised an eyebrow and looked over at the tiefling. His ears twitched. “Do you want the ship named after the bird or…”

“Your friend.” Kingsleigh pouted. That was the whole point.

Caleb tried not to laugh. King had a point. Caleb hadn’t wanted to say anything at the time, but even he had put the w in the name when Caleb had written the note to Molly. It was only later when he received the pamphlet later in a different circumstance that he had realised his error.

“Jester can get you paint.” Essek helpfully pointed out.

“Jester is a wonderful person, but her painting’s seem to come to life.” King said with the tone of someone who had been caught in a lie. That made two now. This tiefling could never lie to Caleb. He openly laughed.

“You just don’t want to admit that you misspelled the name.” Caleb took a drink of his tea to hide his smile.

“...she’ll never let me live it down.” Kingsleigh admitted.

“Do not fret, we will help you.” Caleb placed a kiss on the top of Kingsleigh’s head. Essek was fighting his own laugh.

Caleb went and found beautiful blue paint, to differentiate between The Mollymauk that had been crossed out and The Mollymawk that was written underneath it.

Painting the words was easy enough. Essek showed Kingsleigh his floating spell, allowing the tiefling to paint the proper name under the misspelling, leaving the true and final name right above where the water hit the ship.

“OK, It’s done.” Kingsleigh said.

“Is that the final name, you still have the rest of the boat-” Essek grinned as he put Kingsleigh back on solid ground.

“Oh, hush you.” King placed a kiss on Essek’s cheek, getting paint on the drow’s face. “You love me.”

“We both do. Now come on in, lunch is ready.” Caleb yelled from in the cottage.

I Think Eda Wrote The Letters (and why that's not a bad thing)

I called the Lilith thing so I'm gonna go with my gut and say I think Eda is the one sending the letters. And here's why.

There are only two people who know Luz is supposed to be at summer camp even though she isn't: The Camp itself and Eda (King also knows but he doesn't really count).

Now the theory that the Camp could be sending those letters is easily debunked by the misspelling of Luz's name, as shown above. The idea that the Camp wouldn't know how to spell Luz's name, given she was probably on a roster of some kind, leads me to believe someone else has been writing the letters. Someone who had to learn how to spell Luz's name.

Eda.

But how, you may ask, would Eda know about such things like "mortgages" or the Camp itself?

The pamphlet, of course. Since the letters seem pretty vague and not particularly detailed, it'd probably be easy enough for Eda to jot down things from the pamphlet without having to explain them (since I doubt Eda would know what a human mortgage is.)

(Although I also have a theory that the abandoned house perhaps once belonged to Eda. Afterall, she has the key to the human world and a part of me thinks that she once may have lived there to escape the Boiling Isles. It would make sense why her key opens the door to that one place and why she has a thing for human junk.)

So it seems pretty plausible that Eda could be behind the letters. The question is why?

My answer:

Eda cares about Luz.

Well DUH! Of course she does, like we all saw that battle, her sacrifice, heard the way she got choked up when she was saying goodbye to Luz.

But I think there's another part to this that we're over looking. And that part is that Eda comes from a broken family. She fights with her sister constantly, has said her sister always looked down on her, and I have a hunch that after being cursed the Clawthorne Ma and Pa probably weren't too loving or caring towards their youngest daughter. Which makes me think...

Maybe Eda's just trying to fix Luz's human home situation, in her own way. Maybe she's gotten so protective of Luz that she wants to make sure Luz and her Mom don't suffer the same brokenness Eda's had to endure. Maybe she just wants Luz to be happy.

Owl House Theory: Eda Wrote the Letters to Luz’s Mom

I have a theory that Eda wrote the letters to Camila, acting as though Luz was in summer camp.

First, she would have the motivation. She may want Luz to stay in the boiling isles, either to act as an apprentice or because she wants Luz to stay with her. After the first episode, I only remember Eda suggesting Luz returns home when she was turned into the owl beast, and she wanted to protect Luz and the door to the human world.

Second, she had the opportunity to do so. After all, she did go to the human world frequently, and was close to Luz’s house. She could easily sneak to the house and put letters in the mailbox. Camila would see the letters, and assume it’s Luz.

Third, she would know what she needs in order to do so. While she didn’t know what summer camp was initially, Luz could have told her, or she could have read the pamphlet Luz had about the camp. There may also be examples of Luz’s writing around the owl house, which Eda could copy in order to imitate Luz’s handwriting. Initially misspelling her name could have been Eda not knowing how to spell Luz’s name (it was likely mostly spoken, not written), or Eda finds herself spelling it with an “s”, but then remembering Luz is spelled with a “z”, and correcting it. The creepy line saying that she’d like to do activities with Camila “forever and ever” could have been Eda’s failed attempt at trying to sound as enthusiastic and bubbly as Luz.

This could also explain the part of the season 2 trailer where Camila is standing in front of the board with string, which gives me the impression she’s at a police station. As Eda’s connection to Earth is severed, so is her way to deliver the fake letters. With the letters being gone, Camila could be suspicious, which could lead to her learning that Luz never made it to camp.

There are two problems with the theory. The first is that the camp probably would have called Camila about Luz not showing up. As I don’t see Eda being able to intercept the call (it would require perfect timing, and that’s if Camila didn’t give the camp her cell number), Camila should have known earlier. The only way this could work is if the camp doesn’t care about people not showing up. The second problem is that I imagine Eda would tell Luz about the letters, as Luz was the one who chose to stay initially, so Eda would assume that Luz would be happy about the letters.

5 Reasons Not To Be Too Impressed By Alexander Hamilton

by

Chuck "Not A Founding Father" McCarthy

Don’t get me wrong, Alexander Hamilton was an impressive guy. He was a smart guy and accomplished many things others have only and will only dream of, but if you read his biography or watched Hamilton the musical and walked away thinking, “I’m such a loser compared to Alexander Hamilton,” here are a few things to keep in mind when comparing yourself to Alexander Hamilton.

1. You probably know how to use a computer, a cell phone, drive a car, turn on a TV, use a car radio, and maybe even fly a drone. You have had to learn how to use one computer after another, and how many different cell phones have you had in your life? Alexander Hamilton never even had to learn how to type. The typewriter was invented 20 years after his death. Imagine what you could learn or accomplish without having to learn how to type on a Blackberry only to have that skill made completely obsolete 5 years later?

2. Hamilton wrote the bulk of the Federalist Papers and was one of the authors of the Constitution, but he didn’t have to know how to spell. People in Hamilton’s time could really just make up their own spelling for most words. If you didn’t know how to spell something... you just spelled it the way you wanted to spell it. Alexander Hamilton was no different. He even misspelled Pennsylvania in the Constitution. Imagine how much brain power and stress you would save not worrying about spelling or correcting auto-correct.

3. Hamilton made his name in New York City, arriving a nobody orphan and working his way up to be one of the most important figures of the American Revolution. It’s impressive, but... a little less impressive if you know that there were only around 25k people living in New York at the time, many of them illiterate and or indentured servants and slaves. When I went to the University of Georgia, there were 40k+ undergraduates, and almost all of us could read. The population of New York City now is 18.8million. Basically, even the big pond was a small pond back then, and it’s always easier to make a big splash in a small pond.

4. He was constantly buzzed. Everyone was a little drunk almost all the time back then. How much confidence do you have in your ideas when you’re a little buzzed? Now imagine being buzzed all the time, that being cool with your boss, and everyone else. Plus, you don’t have to worry about getting a DUI, because cars haven’t been invented. I’m pretty sure I’ve solved at least half the worlds problems while I was drunk, but I never stayed drunk long enough to start a new country or something.

5. There was no Internet. There were no movies. There were no TV shows. No streaming services- Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+... nothing. There weren’t even that many good books back then: The Bible, Shakespeare, Homer, and maybe some erotic pamphlets from Benjamin Franklin. That was it. Hamilton was never tempted to surf the web endlessly while watching all 13 seasons of Murder She Wrote- something that’s almost impossible to not do if you’re buzzed. The fact that you get anything done is a major accomplishment.

If you still feel inadequate next to Alexander Hamilton, just remember. He never made a gif or a meme. He didn’t even know what those things were!

You published the letters she wrote you. You told the whole world how you brought this girl into our bed. In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives.

Lin-Manuel Miranda

The Reynolds Pamphlet contains (the 1797 version with appendixes) the letters which Maria Reynolds supposedly wrote during her affair with Hamilton. These letters, however, were not, according to Maria Reynolds, written by her. When there were threats in the 1790s to publish these letters, Callender (the same newspaper publisher who printed scandals about many of the Founding Fathers) was one of the men questioning Hamilton’s actions and whether he was telling the truth about these letters. Regardless of if they were written by Maria Reynolds or if Hamilton wrote them and simply claimed they were written by her, the letters show a scandal. 

Here is one of the letters supposedly written by Maria Reynolds. In the letter, which preserves the spelling, capitalization, and punctuation from the original, one can see her misspelling of simple words but correct spelling of much more difficult ones. For example, she spells “Neglect” correctly but “two” is written as “tow.” This is one of the reasons that some historians, and men from Hamilton’s own time, did not believe that Maria had written them.

Discussion and Story Time: What is your Jonerys/GoT backstory?

When, how and why did you get into the fandom and ship?

This is mine. Please allow for my essay to commence:

Intro to Game of Thrones

I first learned about GoT in 2010. I didn't know anything about the story other than it seemed like my kind of thing (medieval, accents, murder, etc.). Oddly enough, my interest started when I was doing fancasts for The Hunger Games on a message board. I thought Isaac was a girl when I saw the pic of him with an bow and said, "She'd be a decent Katniss". Realized that "Actually, no... but who is that dark-haired beauty next to him? Gale?" It was Kit. Kit HarRington back then because IMDb and everywhere was misspelling his name. Only three pictures of Kit existed on the internet at that time, but I remembered thinking "He looks a little small for Gale, but I'd tap it for sure."

Side Note: This was also back when Tamzin Merchant, whom I recognized from Pride & Prejudice, was listed as Daenerys.

But at the time I didn't have HBO, so I kind of put it out of my mind.

Fast forward to April/May 2011, I was working on The Hunger Games movie in NC and was staying in a hotel one night. Game of Thrones came on and I was like "Hell yeah! It's that show with that guy!" First episode I saw was the tourney where the Mountain beheaded his horse. I was like "Wha... WHAT THE FUCK AM I WATCHING?!" and continued watching. It only showed up to episode 8 that night, but it stuck with me. Still, I didn't pick it back up again later until that summer, SDCC 2011.

Intro to Jonerys

So, SDCC 2011 was a major turning point. I was following SDCC that year coverage in hopes of more THG stuff and GoT popped up. I was like "There it is again!" It just kept coming back and pulling me in. If you remember that was its first SDCC appearance and Kit, Emilia, Lena, Peter, Nikolaj, Jason, etc. were there.

I was thrist-watching interviews with Kit which at the time always coincided with Emilia's interviews. So, while I was learning all about my new boo thang, I was getting introduced to the adorable little bean that is Emilia Clarke. For what little info there was about Kit, amplify that secrecy by 20 for Emilia.

Does anyone remember when no one knew when her birthday was or how old she was? May or April, 1st or 7th or 28th, 1986 or 87 or 90. No one knew for an oddly long time. We were all ass wrong btw.

Side Note: Word of the IMDb boards was that Kit was there with his dark-haired girlfriend. I admittedly initially thought that was Emilia. It wasn't. It was Heather (? Hannah? Something with an H).

Anyway, their interactions were absolutely adorable. So much so that I hadn't realized that their characters didn't know each other. I hadn't seen the full season by then so I didn't know if they met in the last two eps. I just knew that their actors were absolutely beautiful and really cute together. So I peaked around the interwebz:

"Do they fuck," I asked with sophistication and class.

It was a bit of a question mark back then, but the general concensus was "No." Then I asked the real, pivotal question:

"Do their characters fuck?"

And with that question, I was led into the abyss that was Jonerys (simply Jon x Daenerys then). To call it a rabbit hole is an understatement. This was a black hole. A void. I fell into nearly 20 years of theories, backstories, book quotes, prophecies, R+L=J, Targcest. It was the wildest ride ever, and I emerged from the other side bald and foaming at the mouth. But, all I knew was that I was all in. These ice and fire assholes were going to be in love and by George(R. R. Martin) everyone was going to hear about it from me.

Just imagine me knocking on your door with a pamphlet asking "Do you have time to talk about our Azor Ahai, Jonerys?" I was hooked. I skipped classes to read/watch GoT. I read all the books. All the Wiki pages and message boards. Got my mom invested in it so much so that we bought HBO solely for GoT season 2. I came on here yelling about my love of it and made some friends that way. One of my buddies and I spent years trying to make our Jonerys ship name "SnowStorm" happen on Tumblr. So I was very pleased when it took off after all that time. The ship was more than pretty actors to me. It actually made perfect literary sense in its own.

I helped fight off the naysayers and haters (which were mostly Stannis fanboys then). I watched fan videos and scraped up whatever little morsels of good ship content were given. All while being told "That pairing ain't gonna happen. You guys are all just crazy. They won't even meet." All while knowing that someday, somehow this damned ship of mine would feed me, and I would feast in abundance (and drink the haters' tears).

So, seeing how mainstream and CANON it is now is just so gratifying. I don't fight the haters anymore, because I'm retired. I spend my days drinking up boatsex, dreaming of Targ babies and remembering back when all of that was simply written off as the far-fetched nonsense of "crazy fangirls."
