Technology from 1870-1899 (For Encanto fic writers)

So, A mutual of mine @miracles-and-butterfliess pointed out that everyone (including me) tends to forget that Encanto was literally made when the triplets were born. Which is literally 1900 or 1901. Regardless, it was the very beginning of the 19th century so let me tell you about the technology/things they would/wouldn’t have. (And please keep in mind that most of these may or may not have been imported into Colombia yet.) 

1870 - 1879

1872—A.M. Ward creates the first mail-order catalog. NO

1873—Joseph Glidden invented barbed wire. NO

1876—Alexander Graham Bell patents the telephone. NO

1876—Nicolaus August Otto invents the first practical four-stroke internal combustion engine. NO

1876—Melville Bissell patents the carpet sweeper. NO?

1878—Thomas Edison invents the cylinder phonograph (known then as the tin foil phonograph). MAYBE

1878—Eadweard Muybridge invents moving pictures. NO?

1878—Sir Joseph Wilson Swan invents the prototype for a practical electric lightbulb. YES?

1881—David Houston patents camera film in roll format. NO?

1884—Lewis Edson Waterman invents the first practical fountain pen. YES

1884—L. A. Thompson built and opened the first roller coaster in the United States at a site on Coney Island, New York. NO

1884—James Ritty invents a functional mechanical cash register. YES?

1884—Charles Parson patents the steam turbine. NO

1885—Karl Benz invented the first practical automobile powered by an internal-combustion engine. NO (even before Encanto, Alma’s town looked rural so I doubt the automobile reached them yet.)

1885—Gottlieb Daimler invented the first gas-engine motorcycle. NO

1886—John Pemberton introduces Coca-Cola. NO

1886—Gottlieb Daimler designs and builds the world's first four-wheeled automobile. NO

1890 - 1899

1891—Jesse W. Reno invents the escalator. NO

1892—Rudolf Diesel invents the diesel-fueled internal combustion engine, which he patents six years later. NO

1892—Sir James Dewar invents the Dewar vacuum flask. NO

1893—W.L. Judson invents the zipper. NO (zippers didn’t become popular globally until a little bit later; buttons, ribbons/laces and whatever else were still the norm/in fashion for fastening and tying (which is still the case in some places today)

1895—Brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière invent a portable motion-picture camera that doubles as a film-processing unit and projector. The invention is called the Cinematographe and using it, the Lumières project the motion picture for an audience. NO?

1899—J.S. Thurman patents the motor-driven vacuum cleaner. NO (if you're running from being killed, the last thing you're going to bring is a vacuum cleaner) 

I remember a post listing the sort of jobs there would be in Encanto but I forgot so I’ll just list the ones I know (let me know if I need to add anything.): 

Seamstress/tailor

Embellisher

Field worker 

Teacher (of any kind; music, dance, art, etc)

Woodworker - wood carver

Toy maker

Construction worker

Joining a Local band/ Orchestra - being apart of a choir 

Carpenter 

Metal worker 

Jeweler (though I’m not sure if Jewelery of the diamond/gem kind is common in Encanto)

bladesmith/ knifemaker 

Inventor? (Inventors should exist in Encanto by now…just one other genius besides Mirabel?)

I know some of these are very obvious but I’m just giving people options okay? 

@miracles-and-butterflies you seem to know a lot more about this kind of stuff so if you have anything to add/take away or me to fix please let me know. I tried to search up “When was X invention imported into Colombia” and literally nothing of use comes up.

Many of the most beloved Christmas songs were written by Jewish composers who shaped Americans’ conception of the holiday. From White Christmas to Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer to Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Jews created much of the soundtrack of the holiday.

Why are so many of the most beloved Christmas songs Jewish creations?

Dutch Jewish composer Stephen Emmer (who’s written his own Christmas song, Sleep for England) posits that: “It is in the DNA of Jews to write melancholy music, and also to ingratiate themselves in a world in which they are outsiders, at a time of the year when people are feeling especially patriotic and rooted in the idea of home.”

For many of the Jewish composers mentioned below, it seems that writing Christmas music was a way of fitting into a non-Jewish American idea. They didn’t write about Jesus or religious aspects of the holiday. Instead, their songs invoke an idealized American life that was denied to them and their families.

“The Christmas songs that are popular are not about Jesus, but they’re about sleigh bells and Santa and the trappings of Christmas,” explains Jewish American singer Michael Feinstein, who has recorded Christmas music himself. “They’re not religious songs.” Perhaps writing comforting, largely secular-sounding Christmas songs was a way for these composers to allow Jews to take part in the season.

Jewish American composer Rob Kapilow believes these composers reinvented Christmas as a largely secular holiday and a time to invoke an idealized America.

They created some beautiful music that brought joy to millions of people – but perhaps in doing so, they lost something precious of themselves, as well.

The story of the Jewish songwriters who shaped Christmas music “is…really a story about pogroms, prejudice, poverty, immigration, assimilation, and the powerful creative imaginations of an extraordinary group of songwriters who are trying to find their way into an American culture,” Kapilow notes, pointing out that older and European Christmas music used to be much more religious in nature. That changed in the 1940s, he believes, with the Jewish-written song White Christmas. “You know…lots of roads into American culture were blocked for these Jews, but they wanted to become part of that American world. And so what they did was they looked around, they listened around and they created the soundtrack of a secular Christmas.”

The composers listed below aren’t known for songs celebrating Hanukkah or other Jewish festivals. (Though Irving Berlin did write a song called Israel after the founding of the State of Israel.) They created some beautiful music that brought joy to millions of people – but perhaps in doing so, they lost something precious of themselves, as well.

Letter from Baroness Mary Vetsera to her friend Hermine Tobbis, on her first meeting with Crown Prince Rudolf on November 5 of 1888:

Today you receive a blissful letter, because I was with him [Crown Prince Rudolf]; Marie Larisch [friend of the Vetseras and Rudolf's first cousin] took me along to do errands, then we went to “Adèle” to have ourselves photographed—for Him, naturally—and then we went behind the Grand Hotel again, where Bratfisch [Rudolf's coachman] was waiting for us. We buried our faces deep in our boas, and away we went at a racing gallop—to the [Hofburg] palace.—At a small iron door, an old manservant was waiting for us; he led us up through a number of dark staircases and rooms and finally stopped in front of a door and bade us enter. As we entered, a black bird, a kind of raven, flew at my head and a voice from the next room called out: “Please, Ladies, step in further, I’m here.” We went in, Marie introduced me, and we were soon deeply engaged in a Viennese conversation. Finally he said: “I must speak to the Countess alone” and went into another room with Marie. During this time, I examined everything: on his desk, there lay a revolver and a skull. I took the latter into my hand and peered at it from all sides. Suddenly he came back in and, quite startled, took it out of my hand. When I told him that I was not scared of him at all, he smiled. As we were leaving, he led us himself through a dark hall and to a staircase, and said to Marie: “Bring her to me again soon, please!”

You must swear to me to tell no one of this letter, neither Hanna [Mary's sister] nor Mama [Baroness Helene Vetsera], because if either of those two should ever hear of it, I would have to kill myself.

What's the creepiest Christmas carol?

Like, which one would you least want to hear emanating from the basement of an old mansion you're sheltering from a snow storm in?

Disclaimer: I am not Christian and never have been. If it's weird to imagine creepy versions of these songs, I'm sorry.

What we know so far about PSB15 (aka the next album):

Burning the Heather was originally going to be saved and used as the guiding framework for the next album but was released instead on Hotspot

Produced by James Ford, who notably recently produced Jessie Ware's two albums, Depeche Mode's Memento Mori, and Blur's The Ballad of Darren. Neil also has been an outspoken fan of his group The Last Shadow Puppets

Two albums worth of songs were written over quarantine, including a song about Rudolf Nureyev, and a song about the pandemic titled "Living in a lonely time". Additionally, there are several songs written from the Super era that have not yet been released

Neil bought a keyboard and learned how to use GarageBand to write songs himself

Neil stated in Classic Pop that the next album would be "...very tuneful, less super-electronic sounding. Strings will be returning. It's more autobiographical, looking back."

They started work on the album in March 14, 2023 and posted a photo likely of James Ford's studio. The photo showcases a xylophone, bell pepper shaker, multiple keyboards and synthesizers, reel-to-reel tape machines, a guitar, a hammered dulcimer, and others

In April 2023, strings and brass were recorded at The Church Recording studio in London

Recording for the album likely ended before they went back on tour at the end of May 2023

Neil supposedly told a fan that the album would be out in Spring, possibly April 2024

Things that might influence the album:

Over quarantine, Neil watched a lot of 1940s film noir

Their BBC Radio Takeover in 2021 and song selections - Chris usually is the one who decides on their albums' directions, so his choices might hint at that

Lost EP saw the release of four songs from the Super era that had previously been unreleased. Given they were released as an EP and not saved for the next album might hint that they wouldn't have fit the musical or thematic style of the next album (too electronic?)

During quarantine, Neil started a project of digitizing his diaries, which might explain why the next album might be more autobiographical

Mister X came to Apple once, from Canada. He was not a nice man. He wanted $30,000 to launch a new concept in retailing furniture. He had short black flat lacquered hair and glasses and from the back his head looked like Rudolf Hess. He wore bell-bottomed purple or green trousers, and carried a briefcase and several grudges. One grudge was that he had been in England five days and no one from Apple would see him. This was conveyed to me by someone in the next phone booth to X’s somewhere in Chelsea who was eavesdropping on X and learned that he was planning to do Apple ‘some harm’. Dark threat, darkly offered and wilily eavesdropped. I, not anxious for Apple to be harmed, found X and called him up to the throne-room where he created so many instant and bad vibrations that I knocked over a cup of tea. Mister X said he was from Canada and he had come all the way from Canada and he was not going to be fucked about. No sir. If we were as good as we said we were, and as honest and forward-looking as we said we were, and if we were as groovy and hip as we claimed to be, then, oh boy, we had no alternative but to bankroll Clive X to the tune of thirty grand, yes sir! Do, he said. Well, well, well, we said. We said it was clearly a trap and faced with the choice of coming off like good honest forward-looking groovy hip guys (and handing over the bread which said we were all of those things), and with coming off like shits, I took the latter route and Mr X was quick to tell us we were shits.

I said I would have taken the other route, had I had the 30 gs, but I had only eight shillings and an ounce of hash. Mr X said he was not going to get bogged down by a lot of dumb people who couldn’t see what a fine deal he was offering. I said I could sympathise with that. ‘You have no intelligence,’ he told me and I nodded. ‘And you have no honesty,’ he said. This was true, I agreed, inviting Mr X to leave. ‘Your vibes are very bad,’ I said trendily, ‘and you are a cunt.’ Mr X said he would prefer to finish his drink and then find someone with some decency and common sense who could dig his furniture scheme and get the Beatles to hand over the bread. Maybe, too, he would like a ceremony with his own photographer there to capture on film the smiles and handshakes as ‘John, Paul, George and Ringo, yes, folks, the Beatles, hand over a cheque for $30,000 to Canada’s brilliant Mr X.’ Or something of the sort, I thought, reaching for the intercom button. Mr X sat bolt upright drinking his drink in nervous sips, looking fiercely around the room at a forest of badly vibed heads. He was clearly feeling very good. The negative buzz was flowing like molten honey through his system. The voice of Silly Jimmy came on the intercom. ‘Yes?’ ‘Mr X, who is in my room, wishes to be assisted to leave,’ I said. Mr X couldn’t have felt better and he smiled broadly and said, ‘This is what I suspected,’ and I said it was great that he’d found what he’d come for. So many people left Apple disappointed, it was good that he had found what he expected, suspected. He was assisted out, and he looked very like Rudolph Hess as he left the room with Silly Jimmy helping him on his way back to Canada. He gave an interview later, to the Toronto Globe and together he and the writer concluded that the Apple was rotten at the core. A few weeks later, Mr X’s negative buzz alighted on the negative antenna of a man named Mr Z, also from Canada. Mr Z arrived at Apple, but couldn’t get in on account of I had told the receptionist to keep him out because Mr Z generated problems like a fly spreads disease.
