Duality: A Graffiti Story - Voice to the Voiceless

Duality: A Graffiti Story – Voice to the Voiceless

I feel a wild mix of emotions after watching Duality, A Graffiti Story (released October21st) the documentary produced by Buffalo 8, an LA-based production company. It feels dense and packed, like the works of graffiti it’s presenting, so much story to tell, in too little time. It feels like life on the edge, just barely making it, but so much love, community, and burning talent. I’m mad at the…

Tiffany Aching being a mood.

"Zoology, eh? That's a big word, isn't it." "No, actually it isn't," said Tiffany. "Patronizing is a big word. Zoology is really quite short." -- Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

She tried to pretend she hadn't thought that, but she was treacherously good at spotting when she was lying. That's the trouble with a brain--it thinks more than you sometimes want it to. -- Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

My talents are an instinct for making cheese and not running around panicking when things go wrong. Oh, and I've got a toad. -- Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

She was going to commit an act of extreme bravery and no one would ever know if it all went wrong. That was frightening, but also... annoying. -- Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

Bonus quote from the fictional (I hope) Diseases of the Sheep:

"Cloggets are a trembling of the greebs in boggets," she read, "which can lead to inflammation of the lower pasks. If untreated, it may lead to the more serious condition of Sloke. Recommended treatment is the daily dosing with turpentine until there is no longer either any trembling, or turpentine, or sheep." -- Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men

Authentic Irish Foods for Samhain

🩸 Blood pudding (living cattle could be bled through the winter to provide the material as well as collecting blood when the cattle were slaughtered to keep the numbers down for winter)

🫓 Brambrack

🍲 Stew

Lamb

Beef

Wild boar

Domestic pig

Deer

Goose

Mallard

Hare

🐗 Salted wild boar and domestic pig (it is possible that other meats were salted for preservation but given that salt was an expensive commodity and no records indicate other meats we simply do not know. I will note here that we also don't seem to have records of smoked meats for preservation during this time)

🦌 From Samhain to Bealtaine it was considered inappropriate to hunt wild game, including boar. So while wild meats were likely eaten and preserved through this time, much like crop harvests for Lughnasadh, any game that wasn't taken before this festival was supposed to be left alone to breed. (Very unlike our modern hunting schedules)

🍺 Mead and Barely ale

🥣 Porridge

Oat

Barley

🥛 Dairy (this would likely become more limited as the season progressed, but butter has been found in bogs, presumed to be preserved but potentially given as offerings)

Cow's milk

Butter

Curds

mulchán 'hard cheese' (the exact nature of this cheese is unknown but it was described as being extremely hard and could be stored for long periods of time)

🦪 Sea food

Sloke

Clams

Muscles

Crab

Halibut

Sea Salmon

🌿Native Culinary Plants growing in Ireland at this time of year

Skirret

Apples

Purple sprouting boccoli

Wild cabbage

Blackberry

Raspberry

Rowan berries

Elder berries

Sloes

Rosehip

Acorn

Chestnuts

Hazelnuts

Hen of the woods

Pullball

Fairy Ring Champignon

Chanterelle

Porcini

Black Trumpet

Saffron Milk Caps

Cauliflower Mushroom

Wood Blewit

Penny bun

There would be an abundance of foods at this point in the year, but that food would become lesser as the season progressed do to lack of production in the environment and the fact that this point in the year was a time for traveling and feasting (likely to increase bonds amongs the Tuatha and because people would not be as occupied with farming and raiding).

Batfam as Pokemon Trainers

Batman is a dark type trainer generally, but I also really think his team would be made up of pokemon that represent other members of the batfam. His partner would be Corviknight because it suits his aesthetic and its a flying pokemon so it kind reps Dick. He would also 1000% have a male Indeedee named Alfred.

Dick is flying type trainer, this is honestly so self explanatory. He has a Talonflame, Dartix, Staraptor, Honchcrow, Togekiss, and a Sylveon named Haley that he intended to keep an Eevee but it evolved from friendship. EDIT: It's a shiny umbreon it evolved from friendship at night and its colors match Nightwing's. (Thanks, @vythika96.)

Babs uses ghost/electric because the writers tried to fridge her and she's great with tech. Her partner Pokemon is a Rotom named Francis.

Jason is fire/fighting, this is another one that seems obvious to me. He has Blaziken cause it starts its evolution a cute bird and then it grew into a fighter. He also has an Alolan Marowak because he needs at least one ghost pokemon after dying and Marowaks have enough Mommy issues to match him. Pangoro I also think would suit him, they are prone to violence but hate bullies and they look so rowdy. Also think Arcanine, Toxicroak, and Emboar would work for him.

Tim is psychic trainer. I told myself no legendaries but I honestly think Tim would an Unonwn that just chills with him, constantly hovering at the edge on his vision while he works. It's benevolent and likes him its just shy, but it drives Tim absolutely insane. His partner is an Espurr.

Stephanie doesn't stick to one type she just collects purple Pokemon. She has a ditto, a shiny sloking, a golbat, a stunky or skuntank named Jason, and an espeon she co-parents with Cass. Her favorite move in battle is confusion.

Cass is fighting/dark. HER PARTNER IS LUCARIO. Lucario can predict opponents moves by reading their auras and that is just so like her. Cass and a Lucario would be best friends. They would spar together and just get each other so much. She'd also be an absolute tiger mom trainer to all her pokemon.

Damian, like Steph, has a non-traditional team. He has the pokemon equivalent of his pets. (Noivern as Goliath. Miltank as Batcow. Houndoom as Titus. Meowscarada or Persian as Alfred the Cat.)

Duke is electric. I will straight up admit this is just to match the yellow/black aesthetic he has as Signal. I'm thinking Jolteon, luxray, morpeko, manectric, toxtricity, and killowattrel.

All our sins

October 1969

A follow up to Day 8-Fall from Glory

Gordon was tired as he pulled away from the empty cars of the midnight express. For all he loved his work, he loved going to sleep in his shed most of all. 

Which is why he let out a groan when he saw Boco. The diesel was off to the side, in a service siding, looking for all the world as if he bore Atlas's load across his frames. His crew were speaking to him, but with no effect.

Gordon slowed to a stop, thinking. "Gordon, is everything okay?" Amanda called. 

The big engine sighed, "Driver, can you put me in the siding with Boco?"

Rain was openly skeptical, "you want us to leave you in a siding, rather than your nice warm shed?"

"No. But it is clear he needs someone to listen to him...and I am the only one available."

"Shouldn't Boco be in his own shed by now?"

"Exactly my point."

Amanda and Rain glanced at each other then sighed, "Alright old boy." Amanda said, "but try to be quick or we actually will leave you there till morning."

"Thank you" Gordon said simply but sincerely.

Boco barely looked up when Gordon rolled quietly into the siding, "It's all right Gordon, you needn't stay awake on my behalf."

"Rubbish. One does not leave another engine in need. You didn't leave me to the devil twins, and I won't leave you to your thoughts. The sooner you confide in me, the sooner we can both find sleep."

Boco huffed in amusement at the pacific's blunt nature but then he looked down dejectedly for a long moment. 

Gordon was about it prompt him again when,

"They scrapped D5701 last week."

Gordon paused, caught off-guard. "Forgive me if I'm wrong," he said slowly, "but he was the troublesome sibling. The one who 'couldn't find an ounce of kindness in him if you shoved it up his axlebox' as you so delicately put it."

The metrovic snorted, "that's him, or rather was..."

Gordon frowned, "It is not the fact he was scrapped that has you like this."

Boco was about to reply in anger when Gordon continued, "We both have lost siblings in these dark times, and while you have always grieved, you have never been so heavy with guilt before. And for the one least deserving at that"

Boco gave a halfhearted chuckle, "I always forget how observant you actually are when you care."

Gordon waited.

"I was...cruel to him when we last spoke. I finally had the upper hand after all those years and I enjoyed it far too much. I was far more worried about proving I was right then trying to reach my brother."

"And did you?" Gordon sloke evenly, and without judgment.

"No. Even when I offered to save him he refused. Said he’d rather die with dignity...and I was relieved." Boco's full distress became apparent, "I was relieved because it was easier that way. Easier for him to remain loyal to the other railway than to save him." His tone was self loathing and guilt.

Gordon was quiet for a long moment, "And did you mean it? When you offered to save him?"

"Of course!," Boco's tone was broken and lost, "he was my brother. I don't know how but I would have tried."

"Then you did the right thing."

Boco tried to reply but Gordon spoke over him. "When it came down to it you offered an engine salvation that was utterly unworthy of it. Despite his treatment of others, and of you. You made an offer in good faith. That he didn't take it is not your fault."

Gordon paused thoughtfully for a moment. "I will not say you did not mistreat him, for I was not there, but I will tell you this much. You are a kind and patient engine Boco. For as long as I have known you, this has been true. Even when you were mistrusted for being a diesel, you were naught but kind to us. Even through Jame's rants, and my own *ahem* indiscretions, you remained as kind and wise as little old Edward.

If you were truly cruel to him, I cannot imagine it being unprovoked..."

"It wasn't." Muttered the diesel’s driver.

"...if not at that moment, then in the years before."

Gordon paused then continued gently, "I have no doubt you regret your treatment of him. No matter how deserving of it he may have been of it. But try to remember that your treatment of him was a mistake that you regret, and that your regret is a far more accurate representation of the engine before me than the mistake."

"But how do I fix this mistake?" Boco all but pleaded with Gordon.

"You don't." Gordon's tone was kind but firm, "You can only try to do better in the future. You cannot unspeak the words given to your brother, just as he cannot take back his. But you can instead take it as a lesson, so that the next time you won't make the same mistake." Gordon lowered his eyes, "There are many of my siblings that I would gladly give up the express for the rest of my days if I meant I could make my last words of how much I loved them rather than of petty rivalry and competition...but I cannot. I can only move forward and do my best to keep others from making my mistakes." For a moment the normally vibrant pacific looked every year of his age."

Boco was quiet for a moment. 

"Thank you."

Gordon buffered up and their crews coupled them together for the trip to the sheds.

"Anytime my friend."
