Culper ring week (or TURN week the sequel)

Right for everyone's reference purposes, via TURN wikipedia... also, hear ye! hear ye! at the end follows but a humble suggestion....

7/11 - George Washington aka his Excellency aka "the General" <- already happened, go make Washington content!

7/21 - John Bolton - Benjamin Tallmadge <- I am not starting at that one cause you'll never see the end of it

7/22 - Abraham "Abe" Woodhull - Samuel "don't call me Culpeper" Culpeper/Culper - or my personal favourite: why are you the MC again? /hj

Robert Townsend - 7/23

Caleb Brewster - 7/25

Anna Strong - number n/a

Abigail Strong (cause enslaved people take their 'masters' last names) - 3/55 (in TURN)

Right, now to the point, cause Mrs. Anna Strong is numberless and Abigail is underutilized and underappreciated, weekdays without other numbers this week go to them, cause women in fandom are under appreciated and I just think they're neat.gif.

[queerquaintrelle]

I want those twinks obliterated. /j

Anyway... yes Book! Lestat and Tallmadge irl were 20--22 when vampirism and culper ring respectively, 30s, even late 30s is 'baby' on the adult spectrum, it may have been 'beyond of adult age' in the 16th--18th century, but some of you are weird about age. So... stop it. :)

I understand some of you are 19 but that is not an old man, he's 32.

For those of us with taste who appreciate women…

Ft this Gif for funsies, snooze on the bicon lady you lose @ Will Graham & Hannibal Lecter (bisexual - Will Graham, and pansexual - Lecter), bi-male lean, demisexual Abigail Hobbs is real to me but we digress.

The only ladies I am okay with Hannibal Lecter kissing are Clarice Starling and Bedelia and that’s cause they can play and beat him at his own games. It’s canon Thomas Harris said so.

Will can kiss whoever he wants, he’s just enough of a pathetic wet dog bisexual loser (canon) to make him tolerable, otherwise I would punch him for objectifying Abigail.

“Lestat is bi,” I say into a microphone.

The biphobes and media illiterates boo.

“They’re right,” come a soothing French voice and an astute writerly voice.

The voices in question are Anne Rice and Lestat de Lioncourt himself.

[queerquaintrelle]

I love queer people.

[queerquaintrelle]

Not weird, no. At least I do not think so. I think that is a matter of just choosing who you make your fandom space around though in that case. 99% of what I like in fiction I would be viscerally disturbed by irl. But… likewise, I have done the work, this ship is complex and I prefer that way! take book! Gelphie which is bi4lesbian manipulation even though they had sex or even book! Fiyeraba where Fiyero and Elphie both know they’re in the wrong (cause Sarima exists) or Fiyero / Sarima, neither has other options. So thus… complex not toxic, do not get me started on vampire x vampire ships etc.

[queerquaintrelle]

Gotta say I read The Vampire Armand and Blood and Gold (Vampire Chronicles books), they were pretty tame, to me. Some of y'all don't read enough bisexual-biromantic vampire p.orn. Also, Marius barely touched Armand, and Armand literally said Marius should touch him every time it actually happened. I ain't even a Marius fan, but, at least get your facts right.

*like a town crier*

Tell everyone vote for John André!

[queerquaintrelle]

Congratulations to Cristopher Rice for inheriting his mom's lack of fucks given and sense of humour, good for him! Congratulations on being the funniest man alive, preternatural or otherwise…

[queerquaintrelle]

Anatole’s 26, it balances out, Natasha’s 19-20 but we are a Kuragin apologist and Anatole/Natasha enjoyer so… 🤫

thinking about how in "pierre" they go on and on about how old pierre is like hes gonna die "one of a hundred sad old men living out their final days in moscow" so you think damn this guy is old. and then you check the script and hes 27?????? he is literally at the club!!! he's fine!!!

[queerquaintrelle]

👏 Abigail 👏 Strong 👏 did 👏 not 👏kill 👏 John 👏 André 👏

(Arnold and André did, argue with the primary sources)

Vote for Abigail Strong she deserves it!

[queerquaintrelle]

Brown person speaking but you cannot fully separate art from the artist. Simple as, it is physically impossible. But your media consumption choices are yours to make and no one else's. <- prefers TVC books to the show and 1994 movie but likes all.

"As I suffer in the defence of my Country, I must consider this hour as the most glorious of my life -Remember that I die as becomes a British Officer, while the manner of my death must reflect disgrace on your Commander." (The commander being George Washington). - John André, according to primary sources.

Also, John André according to the objectively 🥵hot 🥵 JJ Field.

I ask dearest jury, if he is indeed such a snake and scoundrel why does Caleb Brewster enact more violence than he ever does? Also, Caleb Brewster is not as innocent as you think he is. He is more guilty of 'coercion' than André is if we account for actual-real-life history...

Meanwhile... had John André not been martyred he would have become anti-slavery purely because he is Swiss-French and has nothing to gain from said violent and oppressive institution. But no, those 'evil lobsters' 🦞, am I right? Also, in show universe... Caleb fully admits to 'using' women (and paying them for it nothing wrong with sex work by the by, but come on... we as a fandom can do better), Caleb also talks down to Anna Strong and Mary Woodhull at least twice in the show.

Vote John André the most upstanding redcoat, gentleman and diversity win, the hot martyr is a Swiss-French (and English man by posthumous naturalization)!

[queerquaintrelle]

Anyway…

I love you child of immigrants who had to rise up through education and merit and who literally everyone (including Betsey Hamilton and Alexander Hamilton thought was hot).

Vote hot underdog Andre!

The substantial case against Benedict Arnold

Disclaimer: This is about real-life historical figure Benedict Arnold, as compared to real-life historical figures Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, Benjamin Tallmadge, John André, etc. Also, I'd like to point out that while I will not interact with Arnold apologists, I have no ill will toward them or the actor, this is dissecting the historical figure and why I think you should vote for Hamilton instead. On that note, I am also all in real life founding fathers critical (as an archivist and amateur historian) as a reasonable person should be.

I was just in Quebec which not only Benedict Arnold lost not once but twice, despite having more strategic prowess than his French Quebecois opponents, in the siege of Quebec.

In hindsight, most 'slander' spoken against Arnold proved to be true, also, he committed treason to the patriots and... he wouldn't know beagle like loyalty if it hit him in the face with a cavalry sabre, ahem: Benjamin Tallmadge.

In conclusion, vote Alexander Hamilton!

[queerquaintrelle]

Gonna say something controversial. I really love Julien Mayfair.
