once again thinking about how fucked up it is that special ed used me and other disabled children as unpaid, coerced labor. i worked enough to be making $100 a week. i was "paid" in fake money redeemable only at the school cafeteria, which i worked at, and was forced to do things that distressed me. they gave us $1 a week, if they remembered to give it to us at all.

this was while i would sometimes go the entire day without eating because i didn't have the money to buy food and the free food was not sensory safe. we also worked outside the community - grocery stores, warehouses, shoe stores security tagging items. all under the guise of job skill development, we did $100 of labor a week without ever getting paid. and we were demeaned while we did it. and we were just teens.

so no, i don't want to hear about how special education is good. not with the way me and my peers were treated and taken advantage of. death to institutionalization, in all forms.

Ok but,

Ed finally getting an in with the high society crowd whose lives he had idolised (because it was as far away as he could get from the part of him he hated) and unknowingly leaving behind stede who wanted to escape that life because all it did was hurt him, only for everything to come crashing down on ed

Stede finally getting an in with the pirate crowd whose lives he had idolised (because it was as far away as he could get from the part of him he hated) and unknowingly leaving behind ed who wanted to escape that life because all it did was hurt him, only for everything to come crashing down on stede

How was your guys, halloween?

enamored by the fact that there were even butterfly clips on board the revenge. because they’d have to belong stede, right? and I don’t think he’d probably ever worn them, even in polite society before he ran away from home out of fear of being mocked. truly I think he bought them for himself and was never brave enough to wear them out, but he held onto them for years like a secret in some box hidden in his closet.

and then ed came along and wanted to go to the fancy party and stede, already trusting and finally having met someone who appreciated his fine things and wanted to play dress up, finally pulled the box from its hiding place.

tonight i’m thinking so hard about the fact that stede killed ned low and immediately dismissed himself and when ed went in to check on him he took ed by the collar and slammed him against the wall to give an outlet to some of his energy and bad feelings. what i’m thinking about in particular is the moment where ed stopped at izzy’s suggestion, and more importantly the moment where he pushed forward against izzy’s suggestion

thinking about izzy saying “give him a minute. first kill’s always a mind fuck” and about ed ignoring his advice. thinking about the fact that izzy could probably tell stede would be feeling bad after this, or at least “mind fuck”ed enough to need some space from people, something that izzy frequently takes for himself when he feels bad too. thinking about ed disregarding the suggestion and getting real actual fucked by the mind-fucked guy. thinking about whether or not they would’ve rushed into sex if ed had truly given stede the space and time that izzy was suggesting. thinking about how he knows that it’ll be hitting stede hard and about the fact that he cares enough about that to try and lessen the blow. thinking about izzy giving an order to ed for the sake of stede, rather than giving an order to stede for the sake of blackbeard. thinking about ed ignoring it because they’ve long grown out of any semblance of that relationship where izzy offers advice to blackbeard. thinking

Behind the scenes images of Stephen Geoffreys having prosthetics applied to him as his turn as the unlucky Evil Ed in Fright Night (1985)

Steve Johnson wished Evil Ed's transformation to be lumpy and 'asymmetrical' in contrast to the transformations in American Werewolf in London and The Howling. Geoffreys would spend 18 hours in the makeup chair as prosthetics were applied to his whole body. He had to take sleeping pills to pass out the time away!

For filming the transformation, Geoffreys would have to sit with his back against the set wall, which had a hole for a puppeteer to operate the rod-puppet wolf arm, as well as holes in the set's floor for another puppeteer to operate the rod-puppet wolf legs. Geoffreys would wear a neck appliance with the wolf head as a 'hat'; he could see out from holes in the neck, and the head was fitted with cable-operated animatronics allowing it to blink and grimace.

Happy Birthday, Meow 💕 What can I even say? How can I put into words how incredible you are? First of all, you’re a fantastic human being and an amazing friend. Your presence here and in my life is something I cherish very much. No matter what, you offer support, you listen to my complaints, you encourage me, you give great advice, you cheer me on, and - most importantly - you tell me when I’m being an idiot haha. And OMG, you’re so insanely talented, there’s nothing you can’t do!! Thank you for being hilarious, and lovely, and kind (and kind of a bitch sometimes lmao). I’m honestly so grateful for you and so thankful we’re friends. I love you!!
