#papa!joe velasco

[adarafaelbarba]

Papa Joe and Papa Mike hating the show their watching.

The two of them were sat on the couch, one kid each on their lap, and watching the kids show on tv when you came home from work.

“Hey, you guys okay?” They both looked like they didn’t want to be there.

“Sofia wanted to watch the show, and you know how Javi gets when his sister wants something.” Joe explained.

That made you chuckle, walking over to greet them all. You knew exactly how the kids were. The twins wanted to do everything together. They liked the same shows, same toys, same clothes.

“You both look miserable, why don’t I take over and you can go do whatever until dinner?” You suggested, picking Javi up from his dad’s lap.

As soon as he was in your arms, Miguel got up, “I’ll start dinner.” He said softly, kissing the top of Javi’s head, then yours.

Sitting down next to Joe, you brought Sofia over to your lap too, the little girl cuddling close in your embrace. “Didn’t you have a date tonight Jose?” You asked, looking at your best friend.

“It’s laters, after Sofia’s gone to bed. So I can put her down in her crib.”

You absolutely adored how good they were with their kids. The perfect dads, in your eyes at least.

“We’ll be fine if you need to go earlier though, won’t we baby?” You looked down at your daughter, smiling softly at her.

“Nah it’s okay. You two come first always.” He dipped his head to kiss his daughter’s forehead, then did the same to you.

It had all started with two one night stands. With Joe it had been while out of state for a case. Both had gotten drunk and ended up in bed together. Vowing to never speak of it again. But with Mike, you had met at a bar a few days later after getting back to New York and you both hit it off right away, instant attraction.

Then a few months later you found out you were pregnant. With no way of knowing which one of the men were the father.

You had told them soon after you found out and promised to take a dna test so you could find out. They were both there though for every visit to the midwife or doctor. And when you found out it was twins, you were shocked to say the least. Surprised that both babies were from different dads.

Throughout the pregnancy you’d told both men that you didn’t expect them to stick around. Even if you would be sad to see Mike go, the relationship between you two having been solid since day one. But they stuck around, from the time they found out you were pregnant and onwards.

Both being hands on dads to their child and helping out with each others kid too. If Mike had to work late, Joe could easily offer to take the kids to the park. Same if it was the other way around.

“I love Sofia as if she was my own daughter,” Mike had confessed one night when the two of you were putting the twins to sleep. “And I’m sure Joe feels the same about Javi.”

“We’re so lucky to have the two of you, Mike.” Your eyes tearing up a little and he leant down to kiss you softly.

“And we’re lucky to have the three of you.”

l & o thursday

Okay…. Happy Thursday. Y’all know the drill.

Also yay city tv for airing these in the wrong order as per usual… I don’t know how much of a 2 parter svu and oc are but we’re getting oc first here…

Ah. Yes. Okay. They are completely and totally related and im getting part 2 first. Love that. Why is citytv like this?

Are we just jumping into this without addressing the Kathy hallucination or whatever that was? Seriously?

Ah! Okay, here we go. Thank you.

Ugh god. Elliot just get over your manchild bullshit already. im sick of it

Elliot reacting like that over Oscar papa… homeboy clearly doesn’t know about William lewis…

k… I lowkey trust bell talking with the perp but like… her lawyer is there, she’s lawyered up… any ada on svu would be having a field day right now… like… these are two cops. They can’t be making deals. Just cause they say they wont press charges or whatever the da might still have to…

man… I adore Ayanna so fucking much. I also love how little she holds back facial expressions, like… same girl… same…

bruh… if you thought this was a JOKE why would you put down FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS?!

Bobby and his sandwich LOOOLL.

“it’s attempted murder not the express checkout line.” Yup. Bell has the best one liners.

This episode is giving major criminal minds vibes. And then amanda is going to be brought in as a “profiler” like… cmon… (also I don’t even wanna talk about that… like…her being a professor is already ridiculous. But to also be a profiler? Like… sure she’s smart and has a forensics degree but she aint that smart…she would be a terrible profiler…)

They’re STILL making fast and furious movies?! Jfc.

“carisi can’t keep his mouth shut” and “she left me a message” ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Like, those two were BESTIES, and you’re telling me they wouldn’t actually keep in touch?! Esp over something like this? Like noah, billie and jessie had play dates all the time, they hungout together, carisi still works with liv. This is so fucking dumb. Like… yes I get it, if you leave a job you start another one and might not keep up with the people you used to from the previous ones, but the ones who really mean something keep in touch. This is something that drives me INSANE about tv shows cause a cast member will leave and it’s as if the characters will NEVER see each other again. I get it, sometimes the actors can’t come back or don’t want to, but like… a mention here or there, a sense of reality?? It’s no wonder Liv is always alone and mopey over shit. Life is a two way street ma’am, if you keep shutting out people who “leave” you then guess what? You’re not gonna have anyone left! (still don’t condone Elliot’s behaviour but like… we don’t’ care about him here)

Mothership:

“you’re bleeding.” “yeah… bullets’ll do that to you” *proceeds to collapse*

So naturally I was not paying that much attention, but why tf did they only charge him with one count of murder? He should have also been charged with attempted murder of the other girl and attempted murder/assault of a police officer?

Anyway. Now it’s svu time. Bring me my bebes.

Jesus that’s fucking terrifying. Could you imagine coming across that on a run?! Jesus.

Carisi was so friggin cute when he spilt the beans to liv, fucking adorable.

I got distracted making gifs. Oops.

Loving muncy and churlish partnered up, their banter and shit is good, I accept

Liv being all “doesn’t everyone in staten island know each other” and carisi pulling her chain is hilarious

Omg these girls are both like fucking 5 foot nothing and 90lbs and elias is a giant this is not gonna end well…

Thank god churlish kept the gun on him, smart girl.

Okay I think some of this is less intriguing to me because ive already seen OC

Oh god..joe is yelling… im turned on…

They literally put muncy in a plaid shirt that has the bisexual flag colours on it… COME ON.

HOLY SHIT. Christ. I KNEW SOMETHING LIKE THAT WAS COMING. Muncy needs a hug, and probably some therapy…

I absolutely do not want Velasco and muncy together. That being said. I would adore muncy and churlish or Velasco and churlish.. but I cant decide which one I like more…

Welp, that’s it for tonight. Maybe see you next week.

[plaidbooks]

Sonny has his toddler at work for the day but is still working cases. So, when Joe comes by to ask for a warrant on behalf of SVU, Sonny says "Sure, just gimme a minute. Would you mind watching the little one for a few while I run to see the judge?"

Joe stammers out a hesitant "okay" but Sonny is already gone.

The tot looks at Velasco curiously before waddling over to him. When they reach Joe, who is sitting in a chair, they put their little arms up expectantly.

Joe's eyes widen, not really having had too much experience with toddlers but he reaches out and lifts the toddler onto his lap. The little Carisi smiles with a giggle before leaning into Joe's chest.

Joe, who generally tries to come off on the tougher side, absolutely melts and starts to softly talk to the toddler. He introduces himself and says he's a friend of their daddy's. He asks them how they're doing and if they're having a good day.

The child stares up at Joe with wonder, smiling all the while.

Joe doesn't hear when Sonny returns but the proud papa is grinning ear to ear over how his baby has bonded with his friend.

Yesss I love it! Imagine Joe like "your daddy's a good man--he works hard and puts bad guys away. He helps people" and that's when Sonny interrupts, letting his presence be known, "you help people, too, Velasco"

A History of Trinidad & Tobago Advertising

THE EARLY YEARS OF ADVERTISING IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

1900 – 1940s

Before Advertising Agencies, there were…“advertising agents”.

Franklin’s Year Book of 1917 lists two in Port of Spain: Franklin’s Electric Printery of 12 Abercromby Street, and W. H. Yuille of 77 Queen Street. Miss A. Laurence of 48 High Street, San Fernando was a “newspaper and booking agent”, and there were other agents in all the important towns. They sold advertising space for several newspapers including the Port of Spain and San Fernando Gazettes. They also acted as sales reps for printeries who produced hundreds of magazines and almanacs. The sale of advertising in the CIC Annual covered the entire printing cost for the college.

V S Naipaul observes in “The Middle Passage”: “There was a time when Trinidad had no advertising agencies, and the nearest we got to copy-writing was Limacol’s ‘Freshness of a breeze in a bottle,’ and Mr. Fernandes’: ‘If you don’t drink rum that is your business; if you do drink rum that is our business’.

DAVIES AND CHISLETT LIMITED

Partners Julian Davies and Geoffrey ‘Chizzy’ Chislett opened Trinidad and Tobago’s first advertising agency at the Franklins Printery location in the 1930s. Davies, described as a “one-man creative powerhouse in advertising,” was credited with bringing glamour, style, and creativity to the industry. With Chizzy Chislett mainly handling the business side of the operation, Davies mapped out strategy with clients, sketched the ad layouts and brought to life the ideas that streamed from his fountain pen. The staff numbered over 40 and the agency’s scope covered the Federation and British Guiana.

The ground breaking graffiti campaign “Have a beer instead”, where the product was neither named nor seen, was a Davies’ concept splashed by teams of talented painters to “the four corners of Trinidad”.

Davies’ campaigns had longevity! “Frico for me” has echoed through the years. We recall Bermudez’s “Fresh as a Wink” smiling from billboards. “The Spirit of Trinidad” for Vat 19 rum, designed by Joe Velasco who worked in the agency studio, is today the same dancing girl figure, virtually unchanged. It was Davies’ idea to create a series of ads for Vat 19 with Alf Codallo’s folklore characters. That’s why when we visualise Papa Bois, La Diablesse, and Douens, they look the way Alf painted them.

Having set the standard for new agencies entering the field, Davies and Chislett was acquired by the Interpublic Group of Companies and became McCann Erickson (Trinidad) Limited in 1967.

COLONIAL ADVERTISING LIMITED

Colonial Advertising Limited emerged in the 1940s with offices on Richmond Street. Its founders were Heinrich Lippman and Eric Traub, Jewish refugees from Hitler’s Nazi Germany. Mervyn Telfer, a Colonial sales rep, hawked display ads for the agency’s major client, the phone company, on foot or by bike. He earned 10% commission on every $2 ad space he sold. Mrs Lippman did the books, and would pay weekly wages at exactly 11.59am on a Saturday, and not a second before.

Colonial Advertising later moved to Park Street a and became a fully-fledged agency with a staff of 15, a branch in Barbados, and reach around the Federation.

Lippman, the quintessential entrepreneur, created business opportunities out of his life experiences. Alfred Codallo, who freelanced for Colonial, remembers Lippman going to the movies to improve his English. Seventy cinemas straddled the length and breadth of the country, offering significant advertising possibilities! Lippman soon negotiated contracts with cinema owners, selling advertising time slots to the community. He contracted craftsmen to produce the 3-inch square glass sandwich slides that were the medium at the time. Herr Lippman’s guerilla tactics would eventually confront the big guns of British-owned Pearl and Dean, who controlled the placement of 35 and16 millimetre color film ads for local cinema…and give way.

Colonial dominated outdoor advertising. The firm positioned one hundred and fifty poster frames – approximately 8 by 4 feet, which were the British standard size–all over the country. Posters printed in England were installed by ‘poster hangers’. They were regularly rotated due to either change of advertiser or message. Sturdily-built and strategically placed on roof tops, some of these poster frames have endured to today.

In another pioneering move, Colonial then erected 50 giant billboards, 50 by 20 feet, mainly on Government lands along railway lines which ran parallel to major roadways. These billboards were hand-painted by exceptionally talented artists.

1950s – 60s

Records such as the United States Bureau of Foreign Commerce roster show the local ad industry flourishing over the next decade:

Carib-American Advertising Service Limited opened in 1953 and, after many changes in ownership became Lonsdale Advertising Limited.

Intrepid Bajan John Corbin was the founder of Corbin Advertising in Barbados (1952) and thereafter expanded to Trinidad (1955), Jamaica (1962), Bermuda (1968) and Haiti (1985).

In 1962 UK-based Horniblow Cox-Freeman opened an office headed by Joyce Beston, while partners Kitty Inglefield and Patsy Kennedy opened local agency Trinity Advertising.

Major Madison Avenue agency, Noman Craig and Kummel, opened here in 1964, and was eventually headed by creative great, Ric Henandez.

Kenyon and Eckhardt (Caribbean) Advertising, an affiliate of the American multinational, opened in 1964. Following a merger in ’68 with British agency Coleman Prentiss and Varley, it became K&E-CPV. Reggie Da Silva was Managing Director. Assistant MD Dennis Beadle opened 10 more K&E-CPV offices regionally. Other senior executives were Peter Popplewell, Tyrone Abraham, Clive Belgrave and Andrew Christiansen. The latter two left in ’68 to open Christiansen and Belgrave.

FORMATION OF THE ADVERTISING AGENCIES ASSOCIATION OF

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

In 1962 Government launched Trinidad & Tobago Television (ttt), together with Radio Guardian (610 Radio). Prior to that, media was largely controlled by the British Thompson Group, which owned The Guardian and Evening News papers. There were two radio stations: Radio Trinidad and Rediffusion, a wired home service (like paying for cable TV today) accessed via the Red Box in your home, for which you paid $2.50 a month. The famous radio soap, Dr Paul, was broadcast loudly in all homes from 11.15am – 12 noon. Mervyn Telfer, who joined Radio Trinidad in 1956, recalls walking from his house in Hunter Street, to Luis Street some blocks away, without missing a single, gripping word!

The Thompson Group was largely responsible for the recognition of advertising agencies in Trinidad and Tobago, not because the Group wanted it, but because of their intransigency. Agencies had to form a united front to negotiate media terms. Up until then, media houses and agencies had individual agreements for media commission of 15%.

The Group produced a document titled “Terms and Conditions for the Accreditation of Advertising Agencies” which stipulated that recognised agencies–that is agencies who would earn placement commission from the media­–should have at least five clients with an acceptable annual advertising expenditure, and be able to provide the full range of advertising services.

By 1964, the concept of an association of advertising agencies coalesced. A constitution was drawn up. At the same time, the media formed the Trinidad and Tobago Publishers and Broadcasters Association and adopted the Thompson criteria for agency recognition.

The AAATT’s key drivers were Julian Beck and Julian Davies of Davies and Chislett, Reggie Da Silva of K&E-CPV, and John Corbin of Corbin Compton Advertising. Seven agencies signed on: Christiansen & Belgrave, Corbin Compton, Davies and Chislett, Horniblow Cox-Freeman, Lonsdale, and NCK.

On the client side, the Advertisers Association was started under the leadership of David Allsebrook of Nestle. Members were the major international companies operating locally.

The two Associations joined forces to negotiate media rates and policies, develop voluntary advertising standards, and to resolve disputes through another new entity, the Advertising Standards Authority. The Associations’ combined strengths changed the dynamic between agencies and the media. The AAATT drew up membership and accreditation criteria, and negotiated a higher early payment incentive with the media. The media accepted the Advertising Standards Authority as the adjudicating body for disputes and negotiated rather than imposed rate increases.

Clients accepted best practices for inviting speculative presentations. The Associations held joint symposiums which updated old and new advertising practitioners of the rules of the game. Everyone agreed to play by those rules.

This led to many rewarding decades of mutual respect and co-operation between advertisers, agencies and the media.

The AAATT of today has withstood difficult economic times, the universal accessibility of skills and know-how via computers and the internet, and the radical transformation of the ways in which people interact with media. It continues to represent the best practitioners of communications in Trinidad and Tobago and regionally, with its members constantly working to strengthen the Association’s role in an ever-evolving communications industry.

Papa Joe having to visit school

Joe rushes into the administrative building, ready to learn what the hell happened when he sees Sofia sitting outside, head bowed.

"Mi todo, what happened?" He kneels in front of her so she'll look at him.

"I didn't start it, papa. They were calling me names. I didn't want them to do that. So I punched them. Lo siento." Tears slipped down her cheeks as she tried her best not to look at him.

He was about to ask what names she'd been called when the principal's assistant opened the door. "Mr. Velasco, come inside, your wife is waiting with the principal." For fear of bursting out in rage in front of his daughter, he didn't correct the woman. Instead, he kissed the top of Sofia's head, then got up and followed the woman inside.

You could see the anger in his eyes as soon as you looked at him. "Where are the kids who started this?!" He asked, glaring at the principal.

"I'm sorry? You must've had this all mixed up. Your daughter is the one who punched those kids."

Joe didn't bother to sit down, opting to stand by the door and look at the two of you. "Did you ever stop to wonder why she did it? Of course not.

You were just as confused as the principal was. "Joe--"

"They called her names. I want to know what else they've done because my daughter's first response is never violence. I've taught her better than that!"

At this, you got out of your chair too, "names?! What names?!" You demanded to know.

"It does not matter. What matters is we do not condone violence at this school Mrs. and Mr. Velasco--"

"What. Names?!" You asked again, sure that your anger was now equal to your best friend's anger.

The principal started scribbling on a piece of paper, stammering about how it should not be repeated, then handed it to you. As soon as you read it you wanted to tear it up before Joe could see it, knowing it would blow up if he saw it.

"The names, y/n, let me see the names!" Joe stated through gritted teeth.

You didn't want to show it, simply putting it in your pocket and turning to the principal. "Either punish those kids or face a lawsuit--your call sir."

"You can--"

"What she did was just the tip of the iceberg, and I absolutely can. Because what they have done to her could very well be considered a hate crime, and you covering them and punishing our daughter just makes you complicit."

It was Joe's turn to be surprised.

"So how long were you planning on punishing her?"

"Tw--two weeks--suspensions--"

"No. Try again." You grab your phone, ready to call a favor at the Hate Crimes unit.

"One week--"

Shaking your head you started dialing the number, keeping eye contact with him.

"After school detention--two days--" "That's better." You locked your phone and put it in your pocket, "And if I hear anything about the other kids not being punished, or if anything like this happens again, you know what will happen."

He nodded his head, fear in his eyes.

~~~

Leaving the office you went straight to Sofia, picking her up and hugging her tightly. "I'm so sorry I got angry, baby. I should've listened to your first. Forgive me."

As soon as she was in your arms she started to cry, hugging you tightly. Joe coming over to hug the two of you as well.

"How about we go get Javi as well, then we can go for ice cream and ice your hand a little too." You suggested.

The little girl nodded at that, hugging you again. "Papa, will you stay too?"

"I'll make some calls and then I'll be here with you all."
