Glad to hear you like splatterpunk ^w^
We'd love to see fictives of Sam and Sadie from Playground! I think it's worth mentioning that the fictives we have from Playground are all littered with source memories and exo-trauma. In Sadie and Sam's cases, it makes them basically inseparable since they have terrible separation anxiety :3
again we never read Playground and information we can find is very limited so these will be a bit brainmade and inspired by what we find!

I read “Playground” a Splatterpunk book so you don’t have to.”
18+ audiences only. If you are under 18 you should not be reading this book and, I am telling your Mom!!
Let me first say I am a huge fan of Punk and of horror. So when my well meaning friend heard of a genre called “Splatterpunk” they immediately thought I would love it! Which is how I ended up with Aron Beauregard’s book “Playground”. Do I love it? Yes and No, fair warning to anyone who wants to read this book if you are triggered by CSA, Coprophilia or, Emetophilia DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!! The thing that honestly bothered me the most was the CSA. I prefer not to read anything with CSA or SA in them. So this book is about an elderly heiresses to a fortune Geraldine Borden. Geraldine is the perfect villain. She’s a sociopath from the very start of her life, suffering from an Electra complex, is narcissistic, hedonistic and a sadist. So not a good person here. She’s someone you want to d!e. She has an adopted son who she horribly abused and groomed named Rock Stanley. She has a side kick named Adolpho Fuchs who is a n*zi. So you want him to d!e too. Geraldine has tortured and abused Rock so badly that he is a broken shell of a man. She sees him as unfit to be her successor and, wants to find a new child to adopt and take on her mantle. She hires Fuchs to build a “Saw” movie like playground for children. She pretends like the playground is a charity for lower income families. She sends out Rick to gather families to “test” the equipment to see if children will enjoy the “Playground”.
Rock gathers the following families:
Caroline Clark and her son Donnie. Caroline doesn’t let Donnie have any freedom. She keeps him on a literal leash and not for his own safety but, for her enjoyment in tormenting him. She’ll even pull the leash to snap him back to her like you would a dog.
Tom and Molly Grimley are doting parents who don’t discipline their children. Issac their son wears thick glasses and loves to read his siblings constantly pick on him. Sadie his younger sister is manipulative she has her twin sister Sam wrapped around her little finger and gets whatever she wants from her parents.
Greg and Lacey Matthews live vicariously through their children. Their oldest son Bobby is their biggest disappearing. He is overweight and only interested in skateboarding. Kip is the apple of his sport obsessed parent’s eye, who they are sure will become a MLB star. CJ is the youngest son and his parents have not yet found a talent of his to exploit. Tanya is the only daughter who her mother is determined to turn into a lady so she can one day become the perfect housewife but, that’s not what Tanya wants. Tanya wants to swim competitively but, her parents say women have no place in sports unless it’s cheerleading.
Rock invites each family to the playground under the guise of testing out the playground equipment for children. However once the children are exploring the playground they are lured into the dawn like d€ath trap where the strongest one to survive will become Geraldine’s new heir. A Lord of the Flys type scenarios happens where the children are picked off one by one in each d€ath trap by their peers. Rock after having had enough of watching children suffer attacks Geraldine and Fuchs. They shoot at Rock but, he still manages to overcome them. He lets the remaining survivors free and goes to play on the decoy playground because, Geraldine would never let him play or just be a kid. He slowly bleeds out and passes away. Did I like this book? It is well written but, it’s not something I would read again. Mostly because of the CSA. If that wasn’t in the book then yes I would read it again.

인테리어 디자인의 팁과 효과
Tumblr media
인테리어 디자인은 공간을 아름답게 꾸미고 기능성을 높이는 중요한 요소입니다. 올바른 디자인과 잘 선택된 소품들은 집이나 사무공간을 향상시키고 생활의 질을 향상시킬 수 있습니다. 이번 글에서는 "인테리어 디자인에 대한 몇 가지 팁과 효과"에 대해 알아보겠습니다.
1. 공간의 크기와 비율
인테리어 디자인의 시작은 공간의 크기와 비율을 고려하는 것입니다. 공간이 작을 경우, 밝은 색상과 거울을 사용하여 시각적으로 공간을 확장할 수 있습니다. 또한 가구와 소품의 크기를 조절하여 공간을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있습니다. 반대로 큰 공간에서는 가구와 소품을 크게 선택하여 공간을 채우고 따뜻한 분위기를 조성할 수 있습니다.
2. 색상의 선택과 활용
색상은 인테리어 디자인에서 매우 중요한 역할을 합니다. 각 색상은 다른 감정과 연관되어 있으며, 공간의 분위기와 느낌을 결정짓습니다. 예를 들어, 밝고 활기찬 분위기를 원한다면 화이트나 연한 파스텔 톤을 사용할 수 있고, 차분하고 안정감 있는 분위기를 원한다면 네이비 블루나 그레이 톤을 활용할 수 있습니다. 또한 색상은 공간의 크기와 조명과도 관련이 있으므로 신중하게 선택해야 합니다.
Tumblr media
3. 조명의 중요성
조명은 인테리어 디자인에서 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나입니다. 적절한 조명은 공간을 밝고 환한 느낌으로 만들어주며, 잘못된 조명은 공간을 어둡고 답답하게 만들 수 있습니다. 다양한 종류의 조명을 조합하여 일반 조명, 작업 조명 및 간접 조명을 조화롭게 사용하는 것이 좋습니다. 또한 조명의 색온도와 밝기를 조절하여 공간의 분위기를 조절할 수 있습니다.
4. 가구와 소품의 배치
가구와 소품의 배치는 공간의 효율성과 시각적인 매력을 결정짓는 중요한 요소입니다. 가구를 배치할 때는 통행로와 가구 간의 적절한 간격을 유지해야 하며, 공간을 최대한 활용할 수 있는 가구를 선택해야 합니다. 또한 소품을 잘 선택하여 공간에 포인트를 주고, 개성을 표현할 수 있습니다. 소품은 공간에 균형과 조화를 가져다주는 역할을 합니다.
5. 자연 요소의 활용
자연 요소는 인테리어 디자인에 자연스러운 느낌과 쾌적한 분위기를 더해줍니다. 식물을 실내에 배치하여 공기를 정화하고 생기를 더할 수 있으며, 창문을 크게 설치하여 자연광을 최대한 활용하는 것도 좋은 방법입니다. 또한 자연 소재인 나무나 돌을 사용하여 공간에 자연스러움을 더할 수 있습니다.
Tumblr media
결론
인테리어 디자인은 공간을 아름답게 꾸며주고 기능성을 향상시키는 중요한 요소입니다. 이를 위해 공간의 크기와 비율, 색상의 선택과 활용, 조명의 중요성, 가구와 소품의 배치, 자연 요소의 활용 등을 고려해야 합니다. 올바른 디자인과 소품의 선택은 집이나 사무공간의 분위기를 향상시키고 생활의 질을 높여줄 것입니다.

                                                  BACKSTORY
Little was known about Bo's early life beyond the fact that her birth mother, Aife, gave her up as an infant so that her evil father, a Dark King, would not keep her. She lived with her adoptive human parents as "Beth Dennis" and grew up in Grimley, believing that she was human. Her deeply religious conservative parents often took her to church and, moreover, they taught her that sex was evil. Despite her upbringing, during her first sexual experience at the age of eighteen she was unable to control her urges and unintentionally killed her boyfriend, Kyle Williams, by chi-draining him. Scared and confused, she turned to her parents for their succor, but instead, they revealed that she was adopted. They informed Bo that they knew nothing of her origins and that the only trace they had of her past was a baby photo of her with the name "Bo" written on the back. Angered, she ran away from home, creating different identifications in order to escape detection, not only fearing that she was being sought for Kyle's murder, but fleeing after killing a sex-partner.
In the show's first episode, It's a Fae, Fae, Fae, Fae World, Bo is seen working as a bartender at a hotel bar. This is where she first meets Kenzi, who is there pick-pocketing its clients. An aggressive male patron targets Kenzi, slips a date-rape drug into her drink, and then follows her to the elevator. Bo, who had seen what he had done and knew what he was up to, followed them, and to save Kenzi she chi-drained and killed him. When the body is later discovered, both Dyson and Hale, Light Fae who work as detectives in the human police force, surmise that the man was killed by a Fae and investigate further. When they realize Bo is the assailant, they abduct her and take her to The Ash for interrogation.
Dr. Lauren Lewis, the Light Fae's human physician and scientist, examines Bo and is able to deduce that Bo is a Succubus. Bo is confused but happy to find out that she is not abnormal and that there are others like her. Lauren informs Bo that with help she can learn to control her powers and no longer unwittingly kill someone in order to feed, which greatly relieves Bo.
Bo is forced by the Fae to prove herself in a "trial by combat", after which she is given the choice to align herself with either the Light or Dark Fae clan. But after Kenzi had risked her own life to find out what had happened to Bo and try to help her, Bo refuses to join either side, proclaiming, "I choose humans!"
Although the two Fae leaders of the local territory, The Ash and The Morrigan, were uncertain about Bo's decision to remain neutral, Trick convinced them to accept it in order to find out who had been responsible for concealing her existence for so many years.
With Kenzi as her "sidekick," Bo established herself as a private investigator for Fae and human clients, her neutral status allowing her to interact with Light Fae and Dark Fae for information, even if she is not protected against attacks by either clan.
In Caged Fae, Bo asked Lauren to be with her in a committed relationship. Although her succubus feeding needs eventually made it difficult for her to continue to be sexually exclusive, it was the first time Bo had willingly tried to be in a monogamous relationship and the first time she said "I love you" to a romantic partner.
Through events that transpired, Lauren became increasingly discouraged, driving her to examine the relationship they had together. In Delinquents, Lauren told Bo that she thought she would always be asking from her more than she could give in return, and revealed her unhappiness. After years with the Fae, what had happened to Nadia, and the battle against The Garuda, Lauren felt that she was losing herself, and thought they needed a break. Apprehensive and heartbroken, Bo agreed to a separation.
In Turn to Stone, Bo is informed by The Keeper of The Una Mens that her blood had chosen a side and it was Dark Fae.
In Waves, however, it emerged that Bo had deliberately aligned herself with the Dark so that she could find her way back to the Death Train and save Rainer from it. She had created the Succubus Declaration herself and had Rainer witness her signature, appearing as her sponsor. Knowing she would lose her memory of her month on the train when she left it, Bo set up a series of clues to find her way back to it and Rainer.
In End of a Line, Rainer's face suddenly materialized in a blank page of a book at The Clubhouse, and when Tamsin asked Bo who it was, a surprised Bo told her it was Rainer, the one who had hired Tamsin to find Bo; however, Tamsin informed Bo that the face was not that of "her boss" – which meant that Rainer was not The Wanderer.
While searching for information about Rainer in a history book from the Dark Fae archives, Lauren found the image of The Wanderer in it. She read the prophecy to Bo and showed her the image, and though it bore a resemblance to Rainer, Bo refused to heed Lauren's warning about her involvement with him. Afterwards, Rosette (The Knight) told Bo and Rainer that if by the seventh day of Rainer leaving the Death Train the two were not united as each other's spouse, he would die. To save his life and, she thought, for what was right for her family and good of the Fae, Bo went through with the handfasting ceremony. However, their becoming united was a trick by Rosette that made it possible for the portal to Hel to be opened and release the Lord of Darkness (Origin).
In Dark Horse, Bo concluded that she was, in effect, a hybrid after she asked Trick to tell her everything he knew about her blood. Trick explained to Bo that Aife had his Light blood — the blood of a mage — blood that drained life for nourishment or self survival. But the blood of her father, whoever he might be, allowed her to draw life from many victims, and transfer that life force to someone other than herself. She had inherited the abilities of both her mother and her father.
In Like Hell Pt.2, Bo discovered through Persephone that she was born in Hel (aka Tartarus).
Bo and Lauren continued to cooperate in Fae matters, but had not been intimate again. They were in Evony Fleurette Marquise's (The Morrigan) Marquise Medical Clinic, where Lauren had become its chief medical officer, when a cataclysmic storm created by the Ancients caused a blackout and, when alone, Lauren revealed to Bo the real reason why she was "working" for Evony. They seized the moment and made love for the first time since their separation (Here Comes the Night). After their coupling, Bo considered what she truly desired and told Lauren that she wanted to be together with her. Lauren was caught off-guard and hesitated; however, afterwards, she accepted being in a relationship again (End of Faes).

Mark is honored for his career work as a champion of “unpopular battles” which is at the core of OverUnder, the architecture design firm rooted in advocacy which he co-founded in 2006. OUT cites Mark as an expert and published author on brutalism, of which Boston City Hall is one of the most widely recognized examples. With Michael Kubo and Chris Grimley, Mark is the author of Heroic: Concrete Architecture and the New Boston, which broke ground in the scholarly assessment of concrete buildings.

OUT also cites Mark’s role as Chair of the Boston Art Commission, where he has been reminded of the “value of meaningful public discourse in communicating across divides.”
“Every year, OUT magazine’s 100 most influential LGBTQ+ people of the year is filled with politicians, entertainers, athletes, and activists who’ve become household names,” explains Diane Anderson-Minshall, CEO & Editorial Director of Pride Media. 
“Each time there are honorees who aren’t so well known, but who have moved their world, field, or community in ways equally deserving of recognition. Mark Pasnik is one of those gems, a champion who has influenced our understanding of brutalist architecture as well as public monuments. His thought leadership and public action have touched many across the country, rippling outward through the ways his design firm OverUnder advocates for small cities that face real challenges and fights to preserve the legacies of earlier generations seen in buildings like Boston City Hall.”
The 26th annual OUT100 list is a collection of LGTBQ+ trail blazers, artists, leaders, and creators who have used their talent and voices to influence change and visibility in the last year.
I’ve included the text of the citation below and a link to the entire list of diverse, international honorees which includes François Arnaud, Tim Cook, Wilson Cruz, Karine Jean-Pierre, Rachel Maddow, Janelle Monáe, Queen Jean, Quinn, Ritchie Torres, Mary Trump, and Scott Wiener among others.
Mark Pasnik, Architect and Activist
When asked to describe himself, Mark Pasnik is humble. “I like to think of myself as having several interconnected roles — as an architect, educator, and advocate who champions the voices and legacy of other eras.”
In truth, Pasnik, who is gay, is also an expert and published author on brutalism, the “legacy of concrete modernist buildings,” as he defines the term. He cites Boston’s City Hall as “one of the most widely recognized” examples of the type of now-vilified structures “once celebrated for their bravado.” In his role as chair of the Boston Art Commission, Pasnik has been reminded of the “value of meaningful public discourse in communicating across divides.”
Earlier this year, the commission unanimously voted to remove the Emancipation Memorial in Park Square that depicted a freed American Black slave kneeling before Abraham Lincoln. He and others have implemented such discourse to address larger issues facing an increasingly polarized society suffering the effects of systemic oppression, which are often represented in historic statues that are out of step with today’s ethos. “I have been learning from many voices in Boston’s communities about symbolism and racial justice in public art,” he says.
Despite the current cultural divide, Pasnik remains hopeful for the future and the positive impact architecture can have in effecting change. “Architecture is a particularly fascinating art form because it records ideas from one era and transmits them across decades. Advocating for works of architecture means understanding those messages and sharing their lessons with new generations.” (https://overunder.co/)

Mark Pasnik, AIA
Founding Principal, OverUnder
Boston, MA
Mark Pasnik is an architect, author, and professor who co-founded OverUnder, a multidisciplinary practice engaged in architecture and design projects ranging from books to city design in the United States and abroad. His renown has centered on the challenge of preserving and rethinking concrete buildings from the modern era, most recently heading the firm’s work on a Getty Foundation-funded conservation management plan for Boston City Hall. He has been an activist in the effort to preserve the Government Service Center in downtown Boston, a building by the preeminent modernist Paul Rudolph, who was a gay man.
Not afraid to take on an unpopular battle, Mark is the “concrete guy” and this is the thread that connects his studies at Cornell and Harvard, his work as an architect and designer, his influence as a university professor and scholar, and his contributions to preservation.
Concrete modernism—often labeled with the term Brutalism—represents perhaps the single most controversial movement in architecture. Its monumentality and bravado are characteristics that may be considered either inspiring or dehumanizing. Yet Pasnik has helped bring a new appreciation to these misunderstood buildings. As a consequence, many that were once vilified are now gaining new appreciation.
With Michael Kubo and Chris Grimley, Mark is the author of Heroic: Concrete Architecture and the New Boston (Monacelli Press, 2015), which broke ground in the scholarly assessment of concrete buildings, receiving awards from Docomomo US, Historic New England, the Boston Society of Architects, and the Boston Preservation Alliance. An outcome of the popularity of the book is that the title term—Heroic—is being widely used as a new name for Brutalism, one that better reflects the original civic-minded aspirations behind the works.
Pasnik is also known for providing a renewed voice to the seminal men and women of the era through his research and publications, including two towering figures who passed away recently, Henry N. Cobb and N. Michael McKinnell.
Cobb was known for his skyscrapers around the globe, including Boston’s Hancock, and as a founder of New York’s Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. He died at 93 on March 2, shortly after Pasnik edited Cobb’s only book (Henry N. Cobb: Words & Works 1948-2018).
McKinnell, who won the competition for Boston City Hall at age 26, passed away from COVID-related causes at 84 on March 27. Pasnik worked closely with McKinnell to preserve his legacy of ideas and buildings.
Looking to the future, Pasnik has been leading studios at Wentworth Institute of Technology with dozens of aspiring architecture and design students, aiming to reimagine the future of important, yet often troubled, concrete buildings. His efforts have influenced civic conversations about preservation around structures like Rudolph’s Government Service Center (Rudolph passed away in 1997), which is currently in danger of partial demolition.
In 2019 Pasnik started a new initiative in conjunction with the city’s mayor’s office, where architecture students at Wentworth engage with high school students from Boston Public Schools to evaluate and reimagine a concrete building by Marcel Breuer in the Roxbury neighborhood.
Mark has taught at the California College of the Arts, Carnegie Mellon University, Northeastern University, Rhode Island School of Design, and Wentworth Institute of Technology, where he is currently a professor. He received the American Institute of Architects Young Architects Award and was a member of the executive board of Boston Society of Architects.
Pasnik currently serves as chair of the Boston Art Commission. In this role he has been an advocate for social justice in public art, most recently overseeing the public process that led to a unanimous vote to remove and recontextualize the Emancipation Group in Boston. The statue, showing Lincoln with his arm raised over a kneeling Black man, had been criticized for decades as a misrepresentation of history and a demeaning portrayal of the formerly enslaved figure, Archer Alexander. The vote on June 30 culminated two years of work and a series of public hearings. At a time when many controversial sculptures are being removed through illegal action, Boston’s process stands as a national model for deliberation and meaningful public discourse.
Pasnik and his life partner of twenty years, David Smith, reside in Boston and New York respectively.

Part I: Ranking Every Bomber Since 2015
Tumblr media
Welcome to Bomberlandia’s first ever look at every Essendon player that pulled on a jumper since 2015, featuring historian and lifelong Bombers diehard Dr. Dan Eddy. As far as I can tell, there’s never been an undertaking where someone has ranked every Essendon player for a period of time. In 2002 Simon Matthews wrote a book and ranked the 60 greatest Bombers players of all-time. I’m sure there have been other variations of that. But those books don’t include every player for a period of time. And some of those books need to be revised or revisited.
This is what got me curious about looking at the last five years of Essendon players and who sits where and who has made an impact. Also, apart from being something to read during the postseason I think these rankings will help explain Essendon’s story from 2015 until now by taking stock of who’s come and gone, who’s been able to stay the journey and which players failed to deliver.
I could never do these kind of rankings on my own. It’s an unreasonable task. For this I enlisted the help of prolific book writer Dan Eddy, someone who has analyzed Essendon through an historic lens and someone who really knows his AFL stuff.
The hope with this first initial crack is that it becomes an annual postseason tradition, where rookies and current players can improve their ranking or if things don’t work out, they can potentially fall. These rankings come at a time where the Bombers haven’t had a lot of success. But there’s a lot of players that have had opportunities to prove themselves since 2015. We’re now starting to see some of the kids step up like Andrew McGrath, Jordan Ridley, Kyle Langford, Darcy Parish, Sam Draper, Brandon Zerk-Thatcher, Irving Mosquito. These developments have been intriguing to observe.
Quite often with rankings they can get bogged down in statistics, and sometimes that’s the only way to separate one player from the next, but numbers sometimes don’t tell the whole story of what a player means to a football team. What we’re looking for are things like longevity and service to the team, elite skills, and sure, accolades. But we’re coating all of that with gut feels. And to be frank, this list is not perfect or definitive but it’s a start and most of all it will be fun to digest. We acknowledge there’s certainly some players too high and too low but we’re ok with that.
Here’s Part I of Ranking Every Essendon Player Since 2015.
Players ranked from 85 to 39
85. Nathan Grima 84. Tom Jok 83. Jonathan Giles 82. Jonathan Simpkin
JR: This quartet feels like the right way to kick off this list at the back end. Giles, Simpkin and Grima were top-ups for the 2016 season. Jok is the most interesting “what could have been” talent. Bombers picked him with their first pick in 2018 and called him an “exciting and raw prospect.” He played one game and was then delisted. What happened to Jok? I wish I had an answer.
DE: I realise Grima was taken at a time when we were desperate for players, but we should never have picked him up. Ranks with our worst ever selections, in my view.
81. Ned Cahill 80. Mitch Hibberd
JR: It’s early days for Ned but he shows promise. He could evolve and become a household name. Mitch Hibberd, with limited opportunity, looks more at home as a solid VFL contributor (saying that based on very small looks).  
DE: I agree on both fronts. Wait and see with Ned. As for Mitch, nothing wrong with his size but not sure he will be capable of holding down a senior spot over the long-term.
79. Sam Michael 78. Alex Browne 77. Tom Cutler 76. Sam Grimley 75. James Polkinghorne 74. Andrew Phillips 73. James Gwilt
JR: Browne was one of the banned supplement saga players who only managed 11 games in five years and was entering his prime in 2015. Browne injured his ACL in the 2014 pre-season and never fully got back into the mix. Probably had the most promise and potential in this section of players.
DE: I had high hopes for Cutler when we recruited him from Brisbane, as I felt his size could be of advantage to our list. But his first season was a disappointment. Hopefully in year two he can have more impact. Gwilt was another, like Grima, who we should never have recruited.
72. Jake Long 71. Kobe Mutch 70. Brandon Zerk-Thatcher
JR: Long and Mutch failed to take the next step but BZT had a season of growth and should progress to be a Top 40 player.  
DE: Tough gig for Jake Long, trying to emerge from his famous father Michael’s long shadow (pun intended). I’m glad he got to wear red and black, though, even if his time at the club was brief. If BZT keeps improving his fitness and builds on his strength, will be interesting to see how far he can go.
69. Jason Ashby 68. Ariel Steinberg 67. Elliott Kavanagh 66. Josh Begley 65. Mark Jamar 64. Brayden Ham 63. Nick O’Brien 62. Ben McNeice 61. Craig Bird 60. Tayte Pears
JR: I really thought Josh “Fridge” Begley was going to be something at Essendon. I watched a pre-season game against the Suns in his rookie year and he was clobbering blokes, laying tackles and kicking goals. He kicked the sealer against the Crows during a comeback win at Etihad in Round One that same year. His departure was perhaps more about list balance or not developing as quickly as the Bombers hoped. Tayte Pears was a very solid player. Unfortunately he was decimated by injuries which prevented his development. He could never get to that next level he needed to be at to cement his spot in the team. Ultimately his ailments curbed his progression
DE: Lots of players here who had impacts, but unfortunately were unable to sustain levels of consistency. I liked Pears, so was disappointed that injury cruelled him as he was entering his prime. Wasn't quick, but gave his all. I agree with your summation of Begley. When I first saw him, I was super excited about the possibilities. But, for whatever reason, didn't come on as hoped.
59. Mathew Stokes 58. Shaun Edwards 57. Nick Kommer 56. Irving Mosquito 55. Matt Leunberger 54. Will Hams 53. Jacob Townsend 52. Ryan Crowley 51. Jackson Merrett 50. Michael Hartley
JR: Like Chapman, the Cats got the best out of Mathew Stokes. In 2016 he came in as a top-up player for a “one-time only” season. He kicked 6.5 which was better than his previous year at Geelong. If we’re nickel and dime’ing here, Townsend’s 9.5 in his first year with Essendon nets him a higher ranking. I can see his position improve with a retooled forward line that will include a fit Stringer, Stewart and Peter Wright.
DE: Wasn’t a Crowley fan before he came to Essendon as one of those famous ‘top-up’ players. But have great admiration for him for what he did for our club during its time of need. Same with Stokes. Townsend has been disappointing in terms of his output, but too much was probably expected of him in our ineffective, underperforming forward line this year. Mozzie promises plenty, so hopefully he keeps improving year on year.
49. Dylan Clarke 48. Josh Green 47. Jayden Laverde   46. Will Snelling
JR: A former Essendon coach once told me that Laverde should be a lot better than he is but the Bombers haven’t done enough to develop him. This makes me curious then: what’s Laverde’s ceiling? Of all the Bombers’ peripheral players, Laverde stands out with his contested work. Inconsistent? Sure. And he’s not a no.1 key forward. But there’s something there. I think he has more to offer than McKernan. He could be a Mihocek. 
DE: Great to see Snelling receive another contract, as he was one of few shining lights during the car crash that was the 2020 season. Laverde has plenty of potential, just needs to become more consistent. That we haven't had a stable forward structure for some time probably hasn't helped him, but I see good upside if we keep a full list on the park.
45. Matt Dea 44. James Stewart 43. Aaron Francis 42. Matt Guelfi 41. Paul Chapman 40. Jason Winderlich
JR: Chapman was thrown a life-line and bagged 30 goals in two seasons. That’s pretty special. It’s not Michael Long’s run down the wing and goal in the ‘93 Grand Final special, but that’s a solid output from a then 34-year old when the club needed it. Winderlich was plagued by constant injuries – back, ACL, and more back troubles. His leg speed was phenomenal when fit.
DE: Thought Dea was terrific for us, and Chappy provided important leadership during dark times. Francis has such potential, but lacks consistency and impact. Wish Stewart got more of the ball, as that would help us up forward where we desperately need a couple of dominant key pillars. 
39. Jake Carlisle
JR: So, we end Part I of this journey with an anti-climatic Jake Carlisle. A guy who could take contested marks with ease, yet, could make you loathe him in an instant with his off-field “theatrics” My final memory of Carlisle was when he shouted “this club is f – ‘ed” in a match against the Giants in 2015 and that’s not a good memory to have of any player. I’m glad he no longer plays for the Bombers. 
DE: Carlisle could have been an all-time great defender at Essendon, but his final season was a major let-down and I was really disappointed in how he departed. In the end, I was glad to see him go. Like you JR, I lost total respect for him after that comment, and wasn't surprised with what happened a few weeks later at St Kilda.

Wizards and Gnomes With Heart April 26, 1998|SUSAN KING | TIMES STAFF WRITER
After conjuring up huge ratings with the lavish adventures "Gulliver's Travels" and "The Odyssey," NBC is hoping its latest mythical extravaganza, "Merlin," will cast a similar spell over audiences. Executive produced by Robert Halmi Sr., the force behind those previous two NBC projects and USA's recent "Moby Dick," the four-hour "Merlin" features a star-studded cast, as well as more than 500 eye-popping special-effects created by London's FrameStore and the Jim Henson Creature Shop. Sam Neill ("Jurassic Park," "The Piano") stars as the magical wizard who allies himself with the young man who is to become the legendary King Arthur of Camelot. Miranda Richardson plays Mab, the queen of Darkness, who created the half-human Merlin in order to keep the "old ways" of magic alive. Helena Bonham Carter is the evil seductress Morgan Le Fey. "Saturday Night Live" and "SCTV" veteran Martin Short plays Frik, Mab's conniving gnome and master of disguise, and Isabella Rossellini is the love of Merlin's life, the beautiful Nimue. Shot on location in Wales, Scotland and England, "Merlin" is also populated with a fanciful talking mountain, magical horses, fairies and various assorted dragons and demons. Director Steve Barron ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles") hopes audiences will say "Wow!" while watching the fantasy. "I hope they are going to feel engaged and really swept away by the scale of it," he says. "I think people will be surprised again, as they were with 'Gulliver's' and 'Odyssey,' at the scale of it. It looks so big. There is a real romance to this. I think you do care about these characters and do root for them." Barron says he tried to live up to the precedent of "Gulliver's Travels" and "Odyssey." "They were both great," he explains. "That was good because straightaway you have standards you have to reach. I mean, I constantly waved [both movies] as my piece of ammunition at everybody. I said, 'Look, it has to be up to this standard, so I need this.' In depicting the character Merlin, Barron says he sought to avoid what he describes as a comedic "Nutty Professor"-type wizard, replete with a funny hat and voice and a long, white beard. This sorcerer, he says, is someone "you want to follow. We decided to flip [the myth] on its head a little and have him be the sanity among the insanity. That made a far more interesting story. Legend didn't have him jumping around in a silly hat and screaming at everyone. He was a very wise man among a lot of kind of tyrants and crazy mortals." Neill also strove to make Merlin believable to contemporary audiences. "He is half immortal, but I wanted him to be as accessible as possible," the actor explains. "It's his humanity that interests me more than his magical and mystical powers. So that's the thrust of what I was doing. What I didn't want him to be was one of those cliche wizardly type of people. I have seen it too many times before." Barron cast Neill--definitely a thinking woman's heartthrob--because he wanted Merlin to be "a rock. I mean a vulnerable rock, but one that you felt was relentless in his ambition. I always felt Sam was that sort of actor. He was so watchable, and you needed to be drawn into a story and drawn along with him. You are happy to join forces with him going through this adventure. The central theme of the piece is his love for this woman whom he meets when he is a young kid."
While making "Merlin," Neill discovered there are legions of fans of all things Arthurian. "There is an enormous following," he says. "It's on a Trekkie kind of proportion. I couldn't count myself as one of them, but on the other hand, I grew up [with these myths]. It's part of our culture."
If Neill is the rock of "Merlin," Short is its comedic heart. The versatile actor is in his element as the pointy-eared Frik. "When you first see him, he's kind of a butler to Queen Mab," says Short, who created such memorable characters as Jackie Rogers Jr., Ed Grimley, Irving Cohen and Nathan Thurm on "SCTV" and "SNL." "It's pretty amazing--the makeup. The biggest transformation is when Mab sends him off to woo Helena Bonham Carter. She changes him into sort of a dashing soul. Lucky me." Short jumped at the chance to play Frik because, he says, the role gave him the opportunity to create seven diverse incarnations of the character. Besides, he quips, "the list is not that long for people who can play Frik the bony gnome--me and John Goodman. That's it." He also liked the fact that Frik and Mab are not painted as purely evil. "Mab knows if people stop believing in magic and believe in [Christianity], that her world, in fact, will disappear. She'll lose her power. She believes that people need to believe in fantasy." Frik, Short explains, starts out a "little muddied and finds his way. You can't give the story away, of course, but he does fall in love. I think that loves makes him alter his course and makes him become a different gnome." Merlin, too, is endearingly flawed. "He has great powers and is a man of action and a mystical man," Neill says. "But he's also very human, too. He makes terrible mistakes. But that's why you relate to him. If he was a super mensch you would be bored." "Merlin" airs at 9 p.m. Sunday and Monday on NBC.

Mark Pasnik Architect, OverUnder
Mark Pasnik Architect, OUT100 list 2020, Boston Architecture, Massachusetts Architectural News, Design
Mark Pasnik Architect News
Nov 23, 2020
We are delighted to share the news that architect, author and activist, Mark Pasnik, a Founding Principal at OverUnder, Chair of the Boston Art Commission and a Professor at Wentworth Institute of Technology is one of the honorees on this year’s OUT100 list as compiled by OUT magazine.
Mark Pasnik, OverUnder, in OUT100 list
Mark is the only honoree that is an Architect and his role in raising the profile of Boston’s significant architecture and advocating for a re-examination of the city’s historic statues is a focus of the citation.
Mark is honored for his career work as a champion of “unpopular battles” which is at the core of OverUnder, the architecture design firm rooted in advocacy which he co-founded in 2006. OUT cites Mark as an expert and published author on brutalism, of which Boston City Hall is one of the most widely recognized examples. With Michael Kubo and Chris Grimley, Mark is the author of Heroic: Concrete Architecture and the New Boston, which broke ground in the scholarly assessment of concrete buildings.

OUT also cites Mark’s role as Chair of the Boston Art Commission, where he has been reminded of the “value of meaningful public discourse in communicating across divides.”
“Every year, OUT magazine’s 100 most influential LGBTQ+ people of the year is filled with politicians, entertainers, athletes, and activists who’ve become household names,” explains Diane Anderson-Minshall, CEO & Editorial Director of Pride Media. 
“Each time there are honorees who aren’t so well known, but who have moved their world, field, or community in ways equally deserving of recognition. Mark Pasnik is one of those gems, a champion who has influenced our understanding of brutalist architecture as well as public monuments. His thought leadership and public action have touched many across the country, rippling outward through the ways his design firm OverUnder advocates for small cities that face real challenges and fights to preserve the legacies of earlier generations seen in buildings like Boston City Hall.”
The 26th annual OUT100 list is a collection of LGTBQ+ trail blazers, artists, leaders, and creators who have used their talent and voices to influence change and visibility in the last year.
I’ve included the text of the citation below and a link to the entire list of diverse, international honorees which includes François Arnaud, Tim Cook, Wilson Cruz, Karine Jean-Pierre, Rachel Maddow, Janelle Monáe, Queen Jean, Quinn, Ritchie Torres, Mary Trump, and Scott Wiener among others.
Attached you will find Mark’s bio and a photo. I’d be glad to connect you to Mark as well as Diane Anderson-Minshall, the CEO & Editorial Director of Pride Media, publisher of OUT magazine.

Mark Pasnik, Architect and Activist
When asked to describe himself, Mark Pasnik is humble. “I like to think of myself as having several interconnected roles — as an architect, educator, and advocate who champions the voices and legacy of other eras.”
In truth, Pasnik, who is gay, is also an expert and published author on brutalism, the “legacy of concrete modernist buildings,” as he defines the term. He cites Boston’s City Hall as “one of the most widely recognized” examples of the type of now-vilified structures “once celebrated for their bravado.” In his role as chair of the Boston Art Commission, Pasnik has been reminded of the “value of meaningful public discourse in communicating across divides.”
Earlier this year, the commission unanimously voted to remove the Emancipation Memorial in Park Square that depicted a freed American Black slave kneeling before Abraham Lincoln. He and others have implemented such discourse to address larger issues facing an increasingly polarized society suffering the effects of systemic oppression, which are often represented in historic statues that are out of step with today’s ethos. “I have been learning from many voices in Boston’s communities about symbolism and racial justice in public art,” he says.
Despite the current cultural divide, Pasnik remains hopeful for the future and the positive impact architecture can have in effecting change. “Architecture is a particularly fascinating art form because it records ideas from one era and transmits them across decades. Advocating for works of architecture means understanding those messages and sharing their lessons with new generations.” (https://overunder.co/)

Founding Principal, OverUnder
Boston, MA
Mark Pasnik is an architect, author, and professor who co-founded OverUnder, a multidisciplinary practice engaged in architecture and design projects ranging from books to city design in the United States and abroad. His renown has centered on the challenge of preserving and rethinking concrete buildings from the modern era, most recently heading the firm’s work on a Getty Foundation-funded conservation management plan for Boston City Hall. He has been an activist in the effort to preserve the Government Service Center in downtown Boston, a building by the preeminent modernist Paul Rudolph, who was a gay man.
Not afraid to take on an unpopular battle, Mark is the “concrete guy” and this is the thread that connects his studies at Cornell and Harvard, his work as an architect and designer, his influence as a university professor and scholar, and his contributions to preservation.
Concrete modernism—often labeled with the term Brutalism—represents perhaps the single most controversial movement in architecture. Its monumentality and bravado are characteristics that may be considered either inspiring or dehumanizing. Yet Pasnik has helped bring a new appreciation to these misunderstood buildings. As a consequence, many that were once vilified are now gaining new appreciation.
With Michael Kubo and Chris Grimley, Mark is the author of Heroic: Concrete Architecture and the New Boston (Monacelli Press, 2015), which broke ground in the scholarly assessment of concrete buildings, receiving awards from Docomomo US, Historic New England, the Boston Society of Architects, and the Boston Preservation Alliance. An outcome of the popularity of the book is that the title term—Heroic—is being widely used as a new name for Brutalism, one that better reflects the original civic-minded aspirations behind the works.
Pasnik is also known for providing a renewed voice to the seminal men and women of the era through his research and publications, including two towering figures who passed away recently, Henry N. Cobb and N. Michael McKinnell.
Cobb was known for his skyscrapers around the globe, including Boston’s Hancock, and as a founder of New York’s Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. He died at 93 on March 2, shortly after Pasnik edited Cobb’s only book (Henry N. Cobb: Words & Works 1948-2018).
McKinnell, who won the competition for Boston City Hall at age 26, passed away from COVID-related causes at 84 on March 27. Pasnik worked closely with McKinnell to preserve his legacy of ideas and buildings.
Looking to the future, Pasnik has been leading studios at Wentworth Institute of Technology with dozens of aspiring architecture and design students, aiming to reimagine the future of important, yet often troubled, concrete buildings. His efforts have influenced civic conversations about preservation around structures like Rudolph’s Government Service Center (Rudolph passed away in 1997), which is currently in danger of partial demolition.
In 2019 Pasnik started a new initiative in conjunction with the city’s mayor’s office, where architecture students at Wentworth engage with high school students from Boston Public Schools to evaluate and reimagine a concrete building by Marcel Breuer in the Roxbury neighborhood.
Mark has taught at the California College of the Arts, Carnegie Mellon University, Northeastern University, Rhode Island School of Design, and Wentworth Institute of Technology, where he is currently a professor. He received the American Institute of Architects Young Architects Award and was a member of the executive board of Boston Society of Architects.
Pasnik currently serves as chair of the Boston Art Commission. In this role he has been an advocate for social justice in public art, most recently overseeing the public process that led to a unanimous vote to remove and recontextualize the Emancipation Group in Boston. The statue, showing Lincoln with his arm raised over a kneeling Black man, had been criticized for decades as a misrepresentation of history and a demeaning portrayal of the formerly enslaved figure, Archer Alexander. The vote on June 30 culminated two years of work and a series of public hearings. At a time when many controversial sculptures are being removed through illegal action, Boston’s process stands as a national model for deliberation and meaningful public discourse.
Pasnik and his life partner of twenty years, David Smith, reside in Boston and New York respectively.
