OT3 Verse Headcast

So @onekisstotakewithme asked me this question from a meme:

🎬 If a movie or show were based on your fic, which fic would you choose and who would you fancast?

And listen I usually say ‘Jewish Anne Boleyn’ but I don’t actually know of any biracial Persian Jewish actors to cast for that so I thought I’d do my giant emotional support Tudors AU aka The OT3 Verse. See here for summary of. So I thought I’d write out (with pictures) all the headcasts I have.

I really want to talk about yesterday’s episode properly because I don’t think I’ve made a proper episode post since Haunted but all I can actually think about is Teddy (and I’ve been feeling a bit ill).

Generally: I’m gonna fight Patrick (positive comment on the quality of writing) and I’m gonna fight Faith (negative comment on the quality of writing). Having Jan and Jacob together was nice. I enjoy Rash and Tariq’s dynamic (love me some family drama).

I’m preparing to start completely ignoring canon with Teddy and make up my own version of events that will actually make sense and deal with the pretty strong start they got off to last week. Also, I would appreciate if Iain would just stop being the way he is being.

I’ve realised I never posted about this so maybe people don’t know about it, MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE TEDDY STORYLINE: this is going to end up with Teddy joining a fight club (?????????). Milo Clarke did an interview with Metro last week and he mentioned it here:

Which is like… what? I found out about this over a week ago and I still find myself staring at the wall in confusion about it every couple of days. I think I get what they’re trying to do. Like, I think I know the angle they’re going for. BUT IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE FOR TEDDY’S CHARACTER!! He would absolutely struggle after last week, so much, but I don’t think it makes any sense for his character or will work with the links that this has to his earlier storylines (those links ARE THERE) for it to be like this. That’s why I’m so annoyed about this storyline, knowing that it’s going that way means it doesn’t feel like they want it to be a story about Teddy (which it could be) as much as they want it to be a (sensationalist) story about SA.

Life After Pat

Time forgot Patrick Halstead and what he did, but his sons didn't. The families of his victims didn't. On November 3rd, 2001, Patrick Halstead was arrested for the murder of Alice Newman, a college student from University of Illinois who went missing a week prior to his arrest. Her body was found in the freezer kept inside the shed outside of the Halstead family home, and was reported to the police by Patrick's youngest son, Jay at the age of 14. He was suspected of murdering as many as seven young women from 1989 to 2001 when he was apprehended, however due to a lack of evidence, Patrick was only charged for the murder of three of the seven, Alice Newman, Cassidy Clarke, and Sarah Williams, all college students. The body of alleged murder victim Sandra O'Connell was never located, but it is believed that Halstead was responsible for her disappearance and ultimately her death. He was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences to be served at the Cook County Jail.

It's been years, and the news cycle moved on from Patrick Halstead. The nightmares, though, followed Will and Jay Halstead throughout their lives into adulthood. The nightmares, the sleepless nights, the anxiety, the constant hyper-vigilance and the paranoia, all of it following them when they try and move past this trauma. Will sought professional help after nearly a month without a full night's rest and scraping by during his senior year of college, and while working through his traumatic past, discovered something he didn't want to remember.

Will was eight years old when he'd walked into the garage, his tummy upset and needing his dad to get the medicine down from the top shelf. What he got instead was witnessing his father strangling a bloodied and beaten girl with hair just like his mom's before she died. Will had tried to back out, pretend he hadn't seen anything, but Patrick caught him, and forced him to assist in getting the girl into the family truck, and drove them out into a small wooded area. He was handed a shovel and told to start digging straight down at the base of a big pine tree. Will was tired, and small, but he worked because his dad had always scared him, especially since his mom had died. The girl was whimpering still, her breathing ragged, when Patrick put her in the hole and pushed dirt on top of her. Will sat in the bed of the truck, hands covered in dirt and blisters, and he wanted to throw up, but he was too afraid. When Patrick was done, he grabbed Will hard by the wrist and told him to keep this between them. Will nodded, but couldn't say anything. He was afraid if he opened his mouth, he was going to puke all over his dad, and his dad would put him in that hole too.

He's twenty eight when he remembers where the body is buried, and turns the information over to the police. He's sitting next to Jay in the interview room of the 21st district, his head buried in his hair as he remembers the sounds she made, that she was still alive when he'd helped bury her.

"I killed her," Will whispers. "No, you didn't," Jay assures him. "Dad did that. Dad was at fault here." "She was alive, Jay, when we got to the woods. She was alive when I buried her." "You were eight. What did you expect to do, Will? Overpower him? Cell phones didn't exist for us back then so you couldn't have called the police. You were a child afraid for your life, and he was the adult who knew better." "Am I going to be charged with accessory or something?" "No," Voight says, and Will looks up at him. "Your brother is right. You were eight. You were doing what you had to in order to survive. The district attorney won't be filing any kind of charges against you for that. And what you're doing right now will bring peace to a family who hasn't had answers in twenty years. You did good, kid."

They still have nightmares, about bodies in the freezer, about their father standing over a grave they were laying in as he shoveled dirt on top of them, but every day, they continued to live. They learned how to breathe easier with their father's convictions on their backs. Will testifies against his father in court when he's charged with Sandra O'Connell's murder, and Jay stands next to him throughout it all, a united front against their father. Life isn't easier. The sun feels wrong. His happiness feels unearned. But each day gets easier for Jay and Will Halstead, and Patrick Halstead stays in prison where he belongs until the day he passes away, alone and cold in his cell.

I was tagged by @chiropteracupola thank you!!

last song: “Me and the Devil Blues” by Robert Johnson

currently watching: I’ve just started a re-watch of Over The Garden Wall. Also I’m gearing up to start watching the Interview With The Vampire tv series. That’s a show that looks exactly like a something I need to watch, but it also takes me an incredibly long time to start anything new.

currently reading: The Mauritius Command by  Patrick O'Brian, along with a re-read of Palimpsest by Catherynne M. Valente and Cannibalism and the Common Law by A. W. B. Simpson  maybe one day I’ll figure out how to focus on just one book at a time

current obsession: I’m still metaphorically chewing on For The Term Of His Natural Life by Marcus Clarke like a rat with a shed elk antler (I’ve finished a painting based on A Certain Scene from the book, and the only reason I haven’t posted it yet is because I cannot get a a good picture that shows the colors right. I’ve also got plans for two new paintings that are both in the planning/mental rotating stage, so those are taking up a lot of brain space. And my current embroidery project (which is another one of the Meat Plants embroider), that’s still occupying the brain space as well.

I’m going to tag (with no pressure, of course) @maingel @cheshirewolff @utsurobunny @kingly-court @bulletproofvendetta2019 @the-antlered-cryptid @im-significant and anyone else who sees this and would like to play should consider themselves tagged as well!

‘The Pride Of Petravore’ demonstrates in microcosm the way Lankum are able to deftly navigate across several different musical strands. Their approach to music is playful, irreverent and experimental, unafraid to suck in influences from leftfield, but the sound they produce has an enormity and depth that can only come from a simultaneous respect for the long histories that many of their songs are rooted in. There are aspects of trad – which the band differentiate from the broader and more amorphous term ‘folk’ – that can be restrictive, but as Ian Lynch, who is also a researcher and lecturer in folklore, points out, that strictness need not be a bad thing. “In order for traditional tunes to be passed on, you do need in some way to have that kind of mindset,” he points out. When he was learning the pipes, he recalls, “they used to say, ‘Always be careful about the music you’re listening to. Don’t be listening to some modern player who’s gonna give you the wrong ideas.’ I hope if someone’s serious about learning traditional music, they’re not listening to us!”

Rather than presenting themselves as exemplars of that serious side, says Peat, “I like to think of us as a gateway.” Ian Lynch agrees. “I think it’s important to have bands who are in some way accessible, then once you’ve got used to those kinds of sounds you’re open to hearing stuff that’s straight-up tradition. It’s like that with any genre, whether you’re talking black metal, noise, or classical music, there’s the outer layer that you have to train your ears to.”

Creating Your Own History: Archival Themes in "The Watermelon Woman" [Part 2]

Continued from part 1

Following her setbacks in the library, Cheryl again goes through her mother’s files in the basement. Her mother’s friend, Shirley Hamilton (played by Ira Jeffries), reveals a key clue: the Watermelon Woman’s real name was Fae Richards, which Shirley knew because Fae sang under her real name. Cheryl also learns that, like her, Fae is a “sapphic sister”—a Black lesbian woman—and was in a relationship with Martha Page, the White female director of Plantation Memories and other 1930s films. Through her research, Cheryl learns the lesson that Alta Jett, coordinator for the community-focused Black Woman in the Middle West archives project, pointed out in 1986: “if you want the history of a white man, you go to the library. If you want the history of black women, you go to the attics, the closets, and the basements.” [5]

Reprinted from The American Archivist Reviews Portal. Thanks to Rose and Stephanie for their editing of this article! It was also posted on my Wading Through the Cultural Stacks WordPress blog on Jul. 5, 2022. This review contains some spoilers for the film The Watermelon Woman.

Jolie Braun, a modern literary and manuscripts scholar, has argued that The Watermelon Woman highlights the power of archival limits, critiques how archives and libraries control access to records, and reveals power relations that undergird research in those spaces. [6] John J. Kostka, a moving image specialist, described Cheryl’s contact with the librarian in her reference interview as “frustrating.” His description is accurate: the librarian does not initially listen to Cheryl and only offers assistance and takes her seriously after he realizes that she has done her research. [7] If Cheryl had been a White woman, the librarian may have been more gracious and less hostile, instead of telling her to check the “film,” “women,” and “Black” sections in a derisive tone. [8] The librarian, by redirecting her to look in those library sections, is representative of collections reinforcing cultural bias by marginalizing views that are not White, heteronormative, and male.

Although the librarian’s stance toward Cheryl hints that librarians are gatekeepers of information rather than information providers, Cheryl fully experiences the power of the archive when she travels to the Center for Lesbian Information & Technology (C.L.I.T.) Archive. While at this collective feminist lesbian archive, a parody of the Lesbian Herstory Archive, [9] with her friends Tamara and Annie, she meets an archivist voiced by queer academic Sarah Schulman. While researching at C.L.I.T., Cheryl discovers documents and photographs of Fae, including one given to Fae’s “special friend” June Walker. Later in the film, Cheryl talks to June, who angrily denies that Fae had a relationship with Page, a White woman.

At C.L.I.T., Cheryl faces pushback from the archivist, who explains that Black lesbian materials are segregated from the rest of the collection and that their donor wanted the materials to be used “exclusively” by Black lesbians. The archivist declares that she respects Black people by crossing out any White people in the collection’s photographs. It is implied that this brazen act of record defacement was deemed “acceptable” by the collective running the archive but runs against the wishes of the donor. While the donor restricting access to Black lesbians would seem to reverse archives’ typical power dynamics, this liberatory potential is squashed by the archivist who wants to maintain power over the records.

btw we recently learned tinnitus is probably a physical thing, so this method working makes perfect sense.

Transcript: The most mind-blowing moment, not only for De La Mata but the scientists too, came when they managed to actually record the sounds that she heard in her ears – which now appear as ‘Left Ear’ and ‘Right Ear’ which begin sides A and B on the album – and in doing so opened up questions about the nature of tinnitus itself. “The NHS definition is that it’s a phantom sound that your brain is creating, that it isn’t something ‘real’, so you should try to ignore it.” By having De La Mata place her ear into an anechoic chamber, with an ultra-sensitive microphone perched in her ear canal, they were able to provide significant evidence to the contrary. “After the first recording of it, it was ‘There’s no way, this isn’t possible.’” They tried again with her breath held, and again with her tensing her ears, and again with other members of staff, but each time it became apparent that yes, the noises De La Mata hears are seemingly something physical.

Bridgeport Schools Pick Architect for $13 Million Grant Project

Plans are taking shape for a major expansion at Bridgeport Exempted Village School District, which promises far-reaching benefits for multiple communities. On Aug. 7, the board of education approved the SHP interdisciplinary design group as architects for a health, education and community center to be constructed on the district campus. Early in June, the school district announced it had been awarded state funding to the tune of more than $13 million. Superintendent Brent Ripley said the 28,500 square-foot addition will be built in front of Bridgeport Elementary School. Ripley said the district is budgeting a little more than $11 million from the grant for construction, with the remainder for the architect and any other surveys and services necessary. “Those are estimates,” he said. “Our intention is not to use any district money for the construction of this facility.” Ripley said six architectural firms submitted for the project, and after interviewing three firms the board chose SHP. Ripley said SHP impressed the board in 2021 with their work in extensively renovating Perkins Field. “The relationship they’ve built with the board and the quality of the work they do is just excellent, and we’re looking forward to just starting the planning process with them and the core team,” he said. “They’ve done great work prior to this board, and we want to keep that vision that they bring to the table and the quality of work.” Ripley spoke about the proposed schedule. “It’s going to be about eight to nine months of planning before we break ground. We don’t expect to break ground until students are out of the school in May of this year. We don’t want to disrupt student lives this year, but after the 2024-2025 school year, there will be a year of construction during the 2026-2027 school year. We are grateful and excited about doing everything we can to help our students, community members and the district out, and the eastern side of Belmont County out. We want to build and create something that benefits lives. In a way that enriches them and helps generations of people.” The expansion has the potential to make the Bridgeport school district a hub of services for the area. Applications are as wide-ranging as providing medical services and training, as well as a space for community events. The district formed a planning committee made up of Ripley, board of education members Kori Rosnick, Don Cash, Karrie Puskas, Ryan Kreiter, and Patrick McConnaughy, treasurer Eric Meininger, Clark and Kosanovic, guidance counselor Vicki Falcone, past superintendent and past school board member Roger Stewart, Brookside mayor Rich Kurner, Allan Ketzell Jr. of the Brookside fire department, and Bridgeport graduate and grant writer Angela Sommer. The planning team has scheduled work sessions to develop designs. The project must be completed by Dec. 31, 2026. “We are wasting no time,” Ripley said. The board greeted Kyle Miller, associate principal and partner with SHP, and project manager and designer Ivan Vukcevich. They are from the Columbus office of the Cincinnati-based design group. Afterward, Miller said SHP has played a part since the early days of the grant application process, when the firm provided preliminary concepts. Miller said while it is too early to see tangible designs, plans will take shape as they work with the board and planning committee. “We’re at the earliest, earliest stages. We’re really getting the ball rolling,” he said. “The district did a great job during the grant process to target key community stakeholders to understand the needs of the community.” Miller said he looks forward to more consultations in guiding the design process. “Our firm really prides themselves on engagement and trying to understand as much as we possibly can about the communities in which we build.” Vukcevich agreed. “To make these projects successful, we need everybody’s input,” he said. “Pencil doesn’t touch paper until we talk to the stakeholders.” Miller said SHP has experience working with school districts and understands a school’s unique needs. “School districts are the hearts of communities. They’re a gathering spot for major moments in peoples’ lives,” he said. “I think this innovation and community wellness center is going to be a fantastic addition to the community, and really strengthen the district as its center point.” Vukcevich added the firm specializes in education and brings experience working on successful projects with a wide variety of schools. “We love working with schools and we have a lot of experience working with schools,” he said. Vukcevich said work out of SHP’s Columbus office has familiarized them with this area. More information will be released on the district app. Anyone with questions may call the district office at 740-635-1713 or brent.ripley@bridgeportschools.net. Read the full article

Ellis Stunts: Gregory J. Barnett Stunts: Tim A. Davison Novel: Tom Clancy Movie Reviews: John Chard: Good guys are real good, and the bad guys are real bad. Patriot Games is a more than serviceable thriller, perhaps a bit out of date when viewing it now, but still a very effective good against evil piece. The source material is so dense and intricate it was always going to be hard to condense that into a 2 hour movie, but I feel the makers manage to keep it fleshy whilst making the respective characters interesting and watchable. The acting on show is more than adequate, Harrison Ford is great in the role of Jack Ryan, he manages to portray him as a sensitive family man who can step up to the plate when things get ugly, and Anne Archer is solid enough as the wife and mother caught up in the web of nastiness unfolding. The baddies are led by the brooding Sean Bean who is a little under written, whilst Richard Harris is sadly underused. However, the action set pieces make their mark and thankfully we get a riveting...

James Wan is an Australian film producer, screenwriter and director of some of the highest grossing box office hits including the Saw (2004), Dead Silence (2007), Death Sentence (2007), Insidious (2010), The Conjuring (2013), among others.

Wan, who was born in 1977 of Malaysian Chinese descent, was raised in Australia. He graduated from The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology with a Bachelor's degree in 1999. He has been described as “high spirited and a quick-talker, who is used to being the Underdog” (Itzkoff, 2018), and one who has found early success co-directing the “genre-defining” 2004 horror film, “The Saw”.

In Wan’s early days of his career, along with co-writer Leigh Whannell, together, they began writing a script that was inspired from their personal dreams and fears. With basically no budget, they created the film with Whannell and a few other stand-in actors starring in the film. This excerpt from the film later became known as, “The Saw” and began a vast and impressive career in the Supernatural genre of Horror filmmaking. According to Itzkoff, Wan struggled for a decade to produce a follow up film, but approximately 10 years later, Insidious, and The Conjuring, rocked the Hollywood Blockbuster scene.

Peter Safran, Wan’s co-producing partner on the Conjuring film, envisioned the success of the Conjuring film prior to its release, claiming that the film “captured lightning in a bottle”. In fact, “The Conjuring” franchise went on to gross over 2 billion dollars in revenues thereby confirming Safran’s prediction.

Rolling Stone cited James Wan’s film, “Insidious”, as, “creating crazy levels of suspense from the first frame, that do not let up until the credits roll”. When interviewed by Rolling Stone, James Wan expressed concern about being “put in a box” by critics and horror show enthusiast’s. Wan responded that he “created “The Saw” for a calculated purpose; “to get people’s attention”. He goes on to say that he “is a “huge fan of tension, he likes to let fans use their imagination in his films, and prefers not to rely on the shock of blood and guts to get the audience's attention”. For this reason, Wan went on to direct other thrillers which utilize alternative captivating techniques and story storylines.

Although some critics have been harsh in their opinions of James Wan’s horror making capabilities, his success in the Horror Film genre is undeniable as evidenced by his popularity, his financial prowess, and most importantly the effect his work has had on the supernatural Horror Movie genre. In January of 2023, he was coined, “The King of Contemporary Horror” (Caiole, P., (2023) across multiple horror projects and various roles as director, writer, and producer, Caiole adds that “he has defined and shaped the genre since the early 2000’s” and into the 2010’s and beyond”. Wan is expected to continue directing and entertaining audiences of the supernatural horror genre; his most recent film, Night Swim, debuted on screens in 2024, and grossed 54 million.
