One of the most beautiful sounds in the world is Dean Martin making Jerry Lewis laugh. It's beee-autiful!

Dean and Jerry on the MDA telethon, November, 1953

[jerrylewis-thekid]

For me this is the true story of their meeting. Dean was the guy who would have said that "lick it" and this story says something very important: Dean noticed Jerry first otherwise he wouldn't have noticed that Jerry threw the egg on own shirt. But Jerry protected Dean with the tale that he had seen him first and fallen in love with him. It was exactly the opposite. And anyway they BOTH told the newspapers while they were together that theirs was "love at first sight". And here he says something important, that is that he was sixteen years old and not yet married. And Jerry was famous for his incredible memory!

👥 Charlie

@pxtitxrosx

Road trip saga here

JP also calls Charlie, Chucky, after the scary movies. He did it to show her that it wasn't something to be afraid of by making a game of it at first. He figured if she thought it was associated with something funny that she would get over her fear of it. (The therapists he had growing up weren't completely useless. He actually learned a lot from them and it made it easier for him to manipulate a situation - good or bad - when necessary.) And it worked. It was this success that was a confirming factor in their later road trip.

Even though he bitches about it, he secretly loves watching all her rom coms and chick flicks with her. He wouldn't have cared what movie they were watching in all honesty, he just liked having uninhibited, free and happy, time with her. Moments that weren't marred by the tragedies of life.

He also is far sillier with Charlie. Or at least he used to be. His playtime vibe was very much like this. (Or this if that doesn't work. Lol.) She's actually the only one he lets that side out with.

Charlie is his favorite sibling.

Ok this is dated September, 1966. It's hard for me to determine when they were friendly and when they weren't. In my opinion they were always friendly. The bad blood and hard feelings was a cover-up

And this dated April 22, 1967. Their relationship was all over the place. Opinions?

They separated them while they were alive, not taking into account what they really wanted to do when their fame was at its highest. They continue to separate them from the dead without taking into consideration, from Dean Martin's family, his years with Jerry, pretending not to understand that those years were the years in which Dean Martin was truly happy. Or rather the first years together when it was just Paul and Jer, without having around the whole machine of the "dirty dream factory" as Nick Tosches defined it. And even in death Dean Martin is still treated (by his own family) like a star of the show and not like the Dino Crocetti person. Nobody tries to understand what Dino Crocetti was like as a person basically because nobody cares. Just like it happened when he was alive.

They just changed their whole story in favor of the hypocritical and puritanical American public and turned Jerry into a monster and Dean into a saint.

For money.

Anon who asked about the suicides here. Unfortunately I'll need the specific locations/texts (of at least two, I think). It's not that I don't believe in you!! I'm just trying to show it to someone

of course-

king saul kills himself via the sword in 1 sam 31. i have posted often about how god sees this death and never gets over it, and that is at least partly why he later incarnates as a non-roman (roman citizens would die by the sword: i think god feared dying as saul did)

sign-acts as self harm: see ezekiel's self-harm sign-acts: isolation in ezek 3:31; immobilization ezek 4:4-8; eating over excrement ezek 4:9; see also jeremiah's self-harm sign-acts: exposure to elements jer 13; auto-yoking in jer 27

elijah praying to die: 1 kngs 19:4; knowing elisha will also end up praying to die: ibid v. 20 ("what have i done to you!?")

tobit praying to die: tobit 3 (sarah also has a prayer for death here)

moses praying to die: numb 11:13

jonah prays to die and then attempts suicide via the elements: jonah 4

psalmist 88 also prays to die and, in fact, enacts a semiotic death (writing from the grave). this is one of two psalms that does not end in resolution with god

samuel asking to be put to rest after already dying: 1 sam 28

many close to god also express, without intention to enact and without real plea, their wanting-to-die: see job (all of it), jeremiah (jer 20), and rebekah (gen 27:46)

there are many more than what my post listed. almost every prophetic sign act is self-harm. and, in the second testament, you have (very famously) the apostle paul saying he struggles with suicidal ideation, as well as the suicide of judas, which lacks any affective response precisely because none suffice. keep in mind that in the ancient world, self harm and auto-death looked like, and meant, very different things than they do today. keep also in mind that in each pericope here, god shares in the wanting-to-die, never answering the plea or condoning or condemning, but holding gently unto the pain

Here's some material straight from the publicity department at MCA. This would have been intended to craft the "Dean Martin" public persona after his breakup with Jer. From the earliest years after they went solo, we can see the "king of cool" identity beginning to take hold for the mainstream public. I also included a singular color slide of Dean performing solo at the Sands because I think it's a nice perspective from the crowd and makes you feel "in the moment." This would have been roughly around the same time as the attached marketing material.

There are a few quotes from this that stand out to me -

"He is amazingly modest concerning his talents. Of his singing, he says, 'I'm no singer. I can carry a tune and I have an easy style. But a lot of us crooners get by because we're fairly painless.' He's so painless three of his recordings have sold more than a million copies and one, "That's Amore," was well over 3,000,000 at last count."

I find it interesting how often Dean seemingly downplayed his talents and his singing in particular. It certainly plays into his cool, laidback image. However, I think it speaks to some of the insecurity and uncertainty he felt about his career, especially after going solo. Although, even Jerry wrote about how Dean never gave himself the credit he deserved when it came to his singing abilities. It seemed to be a rare spot of vulnerability. I don't think Dean could have ever imagined that his career would have such longevity, long after his passing (not only is he forever cemented in show business legend, but he currently has 6,000,000 monthly listeners on Spotify - that's no small feat).

"His friends call him Dino, and his enthusiasm at encountering old acquaintances is genuine and boyish. He likes people, and the feeling is mutual."

His friends called him Dino but only Jerry called him Paul. I think it's a bit funny that it says he likes people when I think it was very much known how he tended to avoid crowds and parties. It's even been said that he would retire early from parties at his own home to go watch a western film in another room. In this publicity material, we can see these clear distinctions and contradictions between Dean Martin the persona and Dino Crocetti the man.

Meet Jeremy Sullivan

The most speedy Student at Mann Secondary School and Sixth Form. The runt of a rather large family it's clear that he was slightly neglected but so were all his other brothers as having one mother to share around 8 children is quite the task.

Being the so-called runt of a large family does have other consequences than just not receiving enough attention, it also gave his brothers the perfect opportunities to give stupider and stupider nicknames to him. To his brothers James and Jonny, he's simply 'Rat', as the twins used to call him 'Remy' until they watched Ratatouille, and found it quite funny. For Jacob, it is 'Jerbel.' Their mother always called him 'Jerry', which in turn led to Jefferey Jordan and Jackson calling him 'Mouse' as a Tom and Jerry joke. And because he's just quite boring, Julian just calls him Jeremy. Of course with his mother, nicknames are far from the insults and rodents of his brothers. Her favorites are 'Jerry', 'Jer-bear' and 'Cupcake'. She especially likes to do this when his friends are round to embarrass him further.

As he was the youngest in his family, and from his brothers' constant 'banter', as they put it, he often felt like he was the weakest member of their family, and that he had something to prove. And so to prove himself, he started to do sports, especially rounders and cross-country running, eventually dropping the other sports just to focus on those ones.

Aside from sports, Jeremy also quite enjoys drawing and arts, and in fact, he's quite good at it. However, he doesn't use his talents for much good just often drawing little doodles of his friends or characters, and never drawing anything big. One of the things he draws most often however is the French exchange student who's living with his family in odd situations.

And now we get onto 'Spy', as despite living with the Sullivan family for just over a year, no one actually knows his name, or what he looks like (except for one person), and by god, does he and Jeremy fight. Most of it is verbal, but occasionally there is a physical fight; like the massive one that got them in isolation for a while, and almost excluded, but that's a story for another day! Other than the constant fighting, they can actually be nice to each other occasionally. Like for example, Jeremy goes to 'Spy' for girl advice, specifically with a certain sixth former.

F. Pauling, or just Pauling as she's more commonly known, is the chosen infatuation of the two-year junior. Despite his many attempts at winning her over, she says that she just sees him as an annoying younger brother, and with how many brothers he has a lot of people see him that way.

Relationships

Jane 'Soldier' Doe: They sit next to each other in PE, so hardly any work gets done. Not to mention the fights that Jane often initiates and Jeremy often loses

?? 'Pyro' ??: This pair just often sits and draws in either the most random places in the corridor or near where the library ghosts hang out.

Tavish 'Demoman' Degroot and Mikhail 'Heavy' Ivanov: The designated 'Bonk!' suppliers. Tavish gets it for him by simply not ID-ing him when he buys it, and Mikhail gets it for him by saying it's for himself, and with how old and tall Mikhail is, it's no wonder why the cashiers don't ID him.

Ludwig 'Doc' Koch: With how often Jeremy gets injured in his fights with Jane, it's no wonder why Ludwig's most often patient is none other than Jeremy.

Mun-dee 'Mick' 'Sniper' Mundy: Two of four members of the friend group to be in yr10, however, they haven't actually talked that much.

?? 'Spy' ??: It's a complicated friendship, in fact, they're more like brothers than they are friends.

F. Pauling: Its incredibly awkward when they're alone, especially when Jeremy tries to break the silence, with an even worse flirt.

[jeremiah-rose]

STATS • CONNECTIONS • PINTEREST

GENERAL.

full name: jeremiah allen rose nicknames: jer, j, miah gender / pronouns: cis man, he/him age / birthday: 40, march 27th orientations: bisexual, homoromantic previous occupation: drug dealer , thief , gang leader, henchman birthplace: new york, new york status: single family: john paul rose (brother), charlie rose (sister), maisie o'halloran (daughter, unknown location) strengths: calculating, loyal, dependable, stoic, protective weaknesses: abrasive, callous, sadistic, violent, stubborn time in nyc: 40 years time at the wexley: 39 years, pre-outbreak room: #301

PERSONALITY.

jeremiah’s approachability and mood depends on the day and the amount of bullshit he’s had to endure for that day. in general he’s a bit exhausted all the time from being constantly in motion getting things done. he’s blunt and to the point, not wanting his time to be wasted and he’s impatient in that same sense. despite what people take a surface level, he’s actually quite intelligent, and he doesn’t miss much of what’s going on around him. he isn’t the type to make an impulsive decision unless he has to, he likes to know exactly what outcomes are possible and what he’s going up against. that’s not to say he doesn’t have some reckless moments, but that’s much more in his past unless it means doing whatever it takes to protect those he cares about and is loyal to. when it comes to his work, he can be quite cold and unforgiving, ruthless. but he can have a good time, even laugh once and awhile, if he can find the time to do so– relaxation isn’t a luxury he feels like he’s afforded often.

BIOGRAPHY.

tw: violence, neglect, death, drugs, murder

     jeremiah was born to a mother who wasn’t ready to be a mom and dropped off with grandparents who were done having children. still, they took him in and then did the same with his brother who came along a few years later. to their credit, they made an attempt at raising the boys but by the time a third child came along, his little sister, they were far too along in years to be chasing young children. especially ones like jeremiah who were keen on getting into pockets of trouble whenever he saw an opening. their mother was hardly around and jer gave up on her long before charlie came around. being the oldest, however, jer didn’t hesitate to step up and take responsibility for his siblings and their grandparents when their health started to fail. his siblings were and are everything to him and he’d do anything to keep them safe.

     he couldn’t stop jp from experiencing the disappointment of a neglectful childhood or falling in with the wrong people the same way he’d done. even though he would do his best to keep him from getting into deep, a point of no return where he couldn’t protect him anymore. when it came to charlie both of them made a point to keep her far away from the evils of the world and out of trouble. they all relied on each other and did their part to keep the house running, take care of their grandparents, and survive. jer did his best to take on the bulk of it all, especially when their grandparents passed, but each of them did what they could to look out for each other.

     in order to make ends meet, jeremiah started his hustling from a young age which only flourished as time went on. he started with stealing candy, snacks, and the like from the store and selling it to kids at school for a full profit. later this turned to substances, weapons, and services. he fell in with a local gang that he went on to become one of their leaders through an exchange of power and with him the group grew, both in size and income coming in. this meant after a lifetime of struggling to make ends meet, things were finally comfortable though it didn’t exactly make his life any easier. if he didn’t have to worry about how food was going to get on the table, clothes on backs, and bills paid– he could focus on keeping things steady on the business end of things. 

    until the world flipped upside down for everyone, of course. when the outbreak happened he was out taking care of some people who owed him money. his day was filled with few collections, a meeting with some large buyers, and checking in on members making sure they were getting their job done. but it became apparent those plans were going to be changed when people started attacking others, consuming them. jer feels on the lucky side of things that he was always strapped with weapons and well versed in the art form of violence ( loved and craved it, in fact ). he ended up fighting his way out of the chaos and getting back to the wexley as soon as he could to make sure his family was safe. 

     during a supply run, something to stock up before the worst of winter was supposed to hit the city, jeremiah was separated from each other when a hoard closed in on them. he hid from the swarm of chompers and waited it out, making his plan to get back to the wexley. when he was in the clear, he ventured out only to be met with an incoming snow storm and a group of raiders. in a split second decision, he chose to align with the raiders knowing they weren’t going to be doing much raiding until the snow melted and it was his best chance of surviving through whatever length of time it took for the snow to clear. he held no loyalty to them, though some he had more in common with than he’d like to admit, but because of them he stayed fed and warm until spring. once the snow was gone enough for him to escape, he would– in the meantime, he hoped his people were okay.

Dean let Jerry know he loves him and he added the 'I mean it' because he knew Jerry and he knew Jerry needed to hear it. There's just nothing I can find that tell me that these two were not head over heels in love with each other. It's so very sad that they had to live out their lives apart.
