"....when their love was in bloom...."

They even knew back then :)

[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.

When he wasn't mugging, you could see the absolute love and devotion Jerry had for Dean. It was beautiful.

[jerrylewis-thekid]

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.

I reblog because it deserves it

Oh…

[cosmic60s]

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.

Roman Catholic Objection: “Sola Scriptura refutes itself because it’s not found in Scripture.”

Refutation:

Sola Scriptura is a theological conclusion drawn from Scripture, not a verse-by-verse quote.

Sola Scriptura means Scripture is the only infallible authority, not the only authority at all. The doctrine is rooted in texts such as:

—2 Timothy 3:16–17 – Scripture is “God-breathed” and “sufficient to make the man of God complete.”

—Acts 17:11 – The Bereans are commended for testing Paul’s teaching by the Scriptures.

—Mark 7:13 – Jesus rebukes tradition that nullifies the Word of God.

As Michael J. Kruger writes:

“The reformers never claimed that every doctrine must be explicitly stated in Scripture using the same words. Rather, it must be derived from Scripture by good and necessary consequence.” (Michael J. Kruger, Canon Revisited, p. 43)

Roman Catholic Objection: “You can’t even prove which books belong in the Bible without the Church.”

Refutation:

This assumes a Roman Catholic model of the canon, which Kruger critiques as circular.

According to Rome:

The Church determines the canon, therefore the Bible depends on the Church’s authority.

Kruger argues this wrongly subordinates Scripture to the Church:

“This view makes the authority of Scripture dependent upon the Church’s declaration, which turns the Church into the ultimate authority.” (Kruger, Canon Revisited, p. 91)

Self-Authenticating Canon Model (Kruger’s Response)

The canon is not authenticated by external authority, but is self-authenticating through the internal marks of Scripture, the work of the Spirit, and its apostolic origins.

Kruger defends a threefold model:

a. Providential Exposure – The books were recognized because God ensured they were exposed to the churches.

b. Attributes of Canonicity – These books bear divine qualities, such as:

Beauty and excellency (Ps. 19; John 7:46)

Unity and harmony (Luke 24:27; Heb. 1:1–2)

Transforming power (Heb. 4:12; Jer. 23:29)

c. Internal Testimony of the Holy Spirit –

“Just as the Holy Spirit authenticates Scripture to the individual believer, so He authenticates the canon to the church collectively.” (Kruger, Canon Revisited, p. 101)

Roman Catholic Objection: “No Church, no Bible.”

Refutation:

This confuses the role of the Church as a recognizer of the canon, not its creator.

The Church did not make the canon; it received and recognized it.

As Calvin says:

“As to their question — How can we be assured that this has flowed from God, unless we have recourse to a decree of the Church? — it is like asking, Whence will we learn to distinguish light from darkness, white from black, sweet from bitter?” *(Calvin, Institutes, 1.7.2)

Kruger puts it this way:

“The church is more like a thermometer than a thermostat. It does not determine the temperature (canon), but registers it.” (Kruger, Canon Revisited, p. 94)

Conclusion

Sola Scriptura does not refute itself, nor does it rely on the Roman Church for its foundation. The canon is self-authenticating: recognized through divine qualities, apostolic origins, and the Holy Spirit's testimony. The Church’s role was not to create Scripture, but to recognize what God had already given.

Omg! Why? THERE'S SO MUCH WITH THESE TWO! AND FRANK PROBABLY KNEW IT ALL!

YOU GUYS: color photos of Frank with his JERRY LOGO BADGE!

the mystery deepens. why was he wearing this for Dean’s show? will we ever know?

[morganthyper]

HI REMY! Okay so, ignoring the fact that I'm your main target for some of these rants (and the fact you're the one that got me into both medias) I still have a few questions ...

Will Jeremy and Michael be involved in the whole "Bully/Bury the Bullly" plan?

Will other BMC characters than the boyfs (platonically in this au surprisingly /j) be important to the story? Or will they get cameos in Hatchetfield even if they're just a small bit

If you were to associate Michael and Jer with the Lords in Black, who is who and why?

FAVORITE UNLIKELY DUO?

... I hope this isn't too spoilery but. Happy ending? (I don't t trust any answer you give me)

Who are the characters in the Hatchetfield universe that isn't in NPMD but plan to have either cameos or important roles in AVC?

Not an Akio question if Lyceum isn't involved but: even post deactivation will the SQUIP still cause some issues? Like obviously he's like. dead technically not really but how bad will the trauma fuck up Jeremy in this au cuz I know you're good at that. /lhj /silly

What are the minor ships in this au? Even if it's background and not necessarily mentioned?

What are some Hatchetfield X BMC relationships would you hope to develop? (Or like. some relationships that you'd think be neat. I suck at wording as you can tell)

That's really all. Join the SQUIP hivemind today!! #ILoveLyceumJasonTamSquip

A VICTIMLESS CRIME

HI AKIO totally ignoring that ive told a lot of these in dms to you before but GREAT QUESTIONS

- I'm not going to say anything about this because I feel it's spoilery. HOWEVER, I will say, this is one of the parts I thought about the most and how it will go

- I think I've already stated before that Stagedorks is very canon so Christine is important to Jeremy's whole character! And if the parents count then yes, if Rich counts then also yes. Those really are the only characters in BMC that might become or are relevant to the main two.

- Jeremy = Pokotho. Michael = Nibblenephim. I will not elaborate until you give me another ask /j (I have a lot of thoughts about this and I don't want this to be that long)

- MICHAEL MELL AND GRACE CHASITY. They fucking hate each other's guts.

- Yeah! Totally!

- Oh there's a lot I want to say about this but I will wait 'til chapter 1 is done because one important Hatchetfield character is introduced there (He appeared in NMT 1 & 2). But I will say even if he's not that important, the Paul Matthews is Richie Lipschitz Uncle headcanon is part of this story. 'Cause I love Paul Matthews. And of course there's cameos, mentions here and there but I think it'll focus mainly on NPMD characters as I imagine it right now.

- Considering Michael secured 2 more bottles of Mountain Dew Red before coming to Hatchetfield? Yeah, I think Jeremy's traumatized as fuck. The SQUIP isn't such a big part but Jeremy still hears it sometimes and goes into some state of , guilt and shock about the whole thing. He's getting better. Slowly. The events in this AU might not help with that though.

- The ones I'd consider major ships are Stagedorks and Lautski, the minor ones; Kyle Clauger x Brenda? They're sweet. IcedTea/Rolohst? Yeah they're also mentioned. Paulkins? Of course they are !! They aren't really much ships that I want to include besides the main ones because of AVC being focused on Jeremy and Michael's friendship, but I think it's fun to think about!

- I particularly love Jeremy & Ruth, and Michael & Richie. The two loser duos.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE QUESTIONS AKIO!! ty for fueling my yap sessions . and while we're still here, everyone go check out akio's one-shot right now!!!

[leadshootingcupid]

I'm really sad because I wasn't there. I love them so much that I cannot explain how much.🥰😊

Color footage of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis performing on stage, mid 1950′s.

[fredandginger64]

Article from a newspaper in May of 1956, describing Jerry's illness during the filming of 'Hollywood or Bust'

~"Jerry and Dean have never gotten along better"~

~"There has been no jealousy between the boys filming 'Hollywood or Bust'"~

And Dean and Jeanne were separated yet again! Dean and Jerry got along as long as there was no Jeanne. They always did. It tells me Jeanne had a lot to do with their split.

[jerrylewis-thekid]

Why dammit do some songs seem like they were sung just for Jerry?? Like this line "That you belong to me". And he sings it very seriously.

Because I think about this

Their story is so complicated, so beautiful, just so complicated
