As the All-American Rejects sang, "It Ends Tonight".

Maybe the real championship was the friends we made along the way!

I always think of this quote from Brett Goldstein on when they wrapped the first season.

Sarah. It's been awhile.

Libety Bibbety Kids

LK 104: I Can Has Liberty?

(pt1)(pt2)(pt3)(pt4)

Abernathy more like Abernasty amirite

Just want to take a moment of time to show how many historical plantation locations in central VA there are still technically around today (though only a few still do ag,) and these are just the more public ones that are open about them being plantations. Some of them lean on being pretty locations with antebellum architecture where you can host events and gloss the fuck over the history of being fucking slavemills, instead talking about how pretty the furniture is and how wealthy and pretty the family members were. Abby Cox and Cheyney McKnight (Not Your Momma's History) have a fantastic dicussion about plantation weddings and such and you should watch it.

Henri LeFevbre is the real fucking MVP here, picking up the extremely important document.

I once heard Richmond, VA described as God's Blind Spot and having lived there, that's still the vibes today even with all the egregious gentrification lol.

Okay so ya bitch lived in Richmond for seven years and worked in Richmond for an additional four and *still* hasn't gone to any of the historic locations that survived the Confederate Army Completely Disregarding the Proper Way to Burn Down Strategic Buildings While Retreating and Letting Most Of the City Fucking Burn Because The People Impacted Were The Enslaved Location And Fuck Them, Right?

(no, Richmond was not burned by Sherman, it was an attempt by the Confederate Army to burn down some bridges and armories before the Union Army got up in it, and it went awry because they did a bad job of it.)

Moses, they are your family, too, in a way.

Henri coming into frame fucking spitting facts.

Did you just now notice that, Sarah??? How is Henri the most observant out of you three, I stg he's the single braincell keeping y'all on point.

He really is though.

Henri, do the Unequivocally Worst Part Of Assassin's Creed 3

About to fucking show you up at your own job, that's what.

...do you need some aloe for that burn.

Yes and its a bit of a crime, in't it?

He looks kinna dudebro in this not gonna lie.

Also taking a time out to mention that, being an excited nerd who REALLY got into Amrev in 4th grade, I actually memorized the entirety of Patrick Henry's speech for extra credit. The assignment was just a few lines, but I wrote the whole thing out. In cursive because it was 2002 and teachers were still insisting we needed to know how to cursive for college. I was so proud! I was so excited! I was so into it!

Anyway, the teacher got really pissed off and didn't give me the extra credit, then chided me for not following directions. And I had given her drawings I made of the Godspeed and the Susan Constant and little comics about the revolution! I was so betrayed.

It is so goddamn frustrating to read about all these white folks comparing their lot to slavery while all the people who were enslaved just slowly look at the camera, Office-style. And like I know white abolitionists understood the irony but its just so hard to imagine the amount of mental gymnastics that enslavers forced themselves into to justify continuing their bullshit while going on and on about how Britain was enslaving them.

Any time I hear no peace I think of the "Peace? No peace!" scene from Independence Day.

Literally right behind him.

Cato's got a point. God this scene would be so amazing live-action and with a decent sountrack.

God this dialogue is written actually pretty fucking good???

Oh its this fucknugget again.

Ok honestly? With his sneak and his parkour skills AND HIS FUCKING CARDIO this kid would be hands down the best fucking spy. The Culper ring should have hired fucking Henri Lefevbre amirite.

...in the loudest way possible, doing burnouts in a conestoga.

Ok but they came right up to the front door? These are some audacious kids.

To be continued

F. C. Lewis, Sarah Harriet Selwyn (1842) Stipple engraving and aquatint on india paper

Based off a painting by George Richmond

[badgersighted]

been playing through TWDG after like 10 years and I decided to draw a really self-serving idea of "what if every child throughout the series made it to Ericsons with Clem"

Duck is not a smart man but he's exceptionally loyal. His lack of wit is countered by his raw strength, despite losing a hand all the way back at the motor inn. At Ericson's he'd probably hang around with the likes of Mitch and Willy. Totally has his dad's hat somewhere.

Becca is the local pain in the ass. Constantly breaching the safe zone and acting primarily in her own interests, few people actually like her but can't deny her capability; she's good to have around in a fight. She's come to respect Clementine's resourcefulness but would never admit it.

Sarah stays firmly within the walls of the school, but that doesn't mean she doesn't pull her own weight. Following in her father's footsteps she's the closest the school has to a doctor now. She'll hang close to Clementine but also gets along with Ruby and Aasim.

Gabe Garcia is the local sadboy. He's not as moody as he was in Richmond, but he's still a little mopey and insists on stepping up. Despite her protests he's very protective of his sister, and still harbors a soft spot for Clementine - so naturally doesn't get along with Louis/Violet.

Mariana Garcia is young but capable, and weirdly well adjusted and mature for her age - she's younger than Gabe but feels like the older sister. After the New Frontier shot her eye out she hasn't been as active in a fight but she'll still insist on pulling her weight while knowing her limits. Gets on with everyone.

James Fairbanks is the oldest known surviving member of his family (unless Sam is still out there) and is brutally protective of his younger brother, Alex. Has a mutual respect with Clem and is very good at setting traps outside the school.

Alex Fairbanks would probably like to fight walkers more but James prefers he'd stick to supply runs and stay on watch. He feels stuck at the kids' table and wants to do more to help, but is at a loss on how to do so.

Stop Defending Ableists Challenge (Level: Impossible)

So the other day I made a post listing all the ableist things Jacob Richmond has included in Legoland and Ride the Cyclone.

And the response was abysmal - the amount of "well actually..." kind of responses I got was disgusting and I took down the post because I find it counterproductive to argue with teenagers on the internet. However, I stand by the belief that if you think you are old enough to post publicly on the internet, you are old enough to be held accountable for what you post.

But I think what I had to say was quite important, so I am going to reword it here.

TW here for the discussion of ableism and ableist slurs (they are all censored)

There is ZERO (0) justification for the use of THREE (3) ableist slurs across both works. I don't fucking care if it was the 2000's. The ADA predates both shows and disability activism had existed for decades before that (as yannick very kindly reminded me). So no, it was not ok for Richmond to use those slurs in his works, regardless of the time period. Because there is nothing "correct" (politically, or otherwise) about ableism.

And before you say "Oh, but it was the character who said it, not the writer..."

CHARACTERS ARE NOT SENTIENT BEINGS! They are not created in a vacuum. Their thoughts and actions are often a reflection of the author's own beliefs and morals.

It was not Ocean who decided to use the word cr*pple. It was Jacob Richmond who decided to use it. Same with the r word and sp*z in Legoland. It wasn't Penny and Ezra who decided to use those words, it was Jacob Richmond. Because each character's actions are dictated by the decisions that the author makes for that character. And in this case, the author decided to be an ableist asshole.

Yes, characters can be assholes. They can be complex and nuanced beings. But there are better ways to portray such experiences than being violently ableist (i.e.: without using slurs). And why does the ableist character get complexity and nuance, but the disabled character is simply the sad, disabled kid, with not much else in his personality until he magically becomes abled bodied. Like we deserve nuance and complexity as well, people!

In a 2022 interview with Curtain Call Bway (here), when asked who his favourite character to write was, Richmond responds with the following:

Ocean is definitely my favorite character to write because it’s based on certain people I’ve met and certain aspects of myself too.

Like he literally admits it himself, that his decisions when writing an ableist character were based off aspects of his own personality.

The reality is, disability has never been more than a comedic plot point to Richmond. He has never cared about portraying a realistic disabled experience. He has never cared about disabled people.

And the cherry on top is that his response to yannick-robin being hate-crimed was to rewrite Ricky so that he could be played by an abled and therefore production teams wouldn't have to give a shit about ensuring their spaces are safe and accessible for disabled performers. If he actually cared about disabled people and properly representing our experiences, he would have worked with a disability consultant and fixed the issues within the show. Instead, he doubles down and causes even more harm.

To add insult to injury, he then licensed that script to Sarah Rasmussen and her team of ableist cronies for the DC production. Because him choosing to continue working with Rasmussen and her team just shows that he shares the same ableist values as the McCarter/Arena team.

So by saying that "its the character, not the author", you are defending Richmond and his violent ableism. You are attempting to justify the harm he has done and CONTINUES TO DO to disabled people. YOU. ARE. A. PART. OF. THE. PROBLEM.

Ride the Cyclone and Legoland (in ALL its forms and versions) contains so much ableist violence. This violence has traumatised REAL PEOPLE, but yannick, myself, and other people speaking out are the ones ruining the vibe by calling it out? Be fucking for real people.

Now if only my university papers were this thorough...

[altschmerzes]

Oh my god, Oh my GOD

Gav. That wriggle up snippet. Roy and Jamie. 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 ouch Can I please request 🌈🌈 from wriggle up, maybe some future Roy and Jamie-ness For my recovery from the snippet lol

I GOT YOU. yeah it was a tough one huh XD that fic gets harsh sometimes, whoof. so here's this to hopefully soften the blow:

this is from the future, after jamie comes back to work for richmond on the weekends again but before everyone Knows. it's from the part where he comes to work sick and roy takes him home.

Roy looks down at Jamie, shocked, his arm lifted in the air and hovering. He can’t figure out what to do with it so it just stays there, suspended mid-action over the boy half in his lap, while he looks down at the side of his sleeping face and can’t identify the thick, heavy feeling that’s taken up residence in his chest. Roy’s throat is tight and his mouth is dry and Jamie is just laying there, like he’s asleep again. He’s facing away from Roy, curled up on his side and holding the pillowcase in one loose fist. Just like that. He’s gone right back to sleep, just like that. With lungs that feel two sizes smaller than they did a moment ago, Roy breathes in slowly and exhales as gently as he can, not wanting to disturb the kid. Carefully, slowly, half sure that this is the wrong thing to do the whole time, Roy lets his arm lower until it rests over Jamie’s shoulder, his hand coming to a stop in that mop of dishevelled, slightly sweat-damp hair.

Memory surges up like a riptide, sudden and unpredictable. Roy thinks of the first time he was handed his newborn baby sister, his father’s hands over the top of his and his mother’s voice cautioning him, gentle, Roy, gentle. Sarah passing over his niece and saying, protective like only a new mum doing this all on her own can be, careful, now. A fragile life, tiny and new, given into his hands as it was impressed upon him just how important his hands and what they do are. How much damage he could do if he isn’t paying attention, isn’t vigilant, isn’t aware every moment of how strong he is and how delicate they are, how much tenderness is required to touch and not to hurt. There’s no one saying any such thing now. No one stands over Roy with a watchful eye as he sets his hand on this child’s head and cautions him, gentle, gentle, careful. Gentle. The words throb at Roy’s temples and in his ribcage all the same. Jamie might be sixteen, not a newborn in the first minutes and hours of life, but as far as Roy is concerned, a baby is a baby and sixteen is a fucking baby. Someone should be standing there, watching him and his calloused, clumsy hands like a fucking hawk. When Roy first makes contact, there’s the faintest ghost of a flinch. Jamie’s body just barely twitches and then he settles again immediately, sighing and going completely limp. With his heart frozen in his chest, hardly breathing, Roy carefully flexes his hand. He threads his fingers through Jamie’s hair, tucking stray strands of it away from his forehead and stroking it into place around the curve of his ear. Jamie doesn’t stir except for a little sigh, his blanket-covered, too-warm back rising and falling under Roy’s arm.

If you don't see a name you submitted here, it's because most or all of their career was as a child/they were too young for the cutoff, their career was almost entirely after 1979, or music was something they only dabbled in and are hardly known for. There are quite a few ladies on the list whose primary career wasn't "recording artist" or "live musician," but released several albums or were in musical theater, so they've been accepted.
