Sexypink - A major Icon has left us richer, sadder and grateful.

............................................................................................................................

The National Archives of Trinidad and Tobago extends our condolences to the family and friends of the legendary Calypsonian, Gospel Singer, and former Calypso Monarch, Denyse Plummer.

Denyse Plummer broke barriers when she first emerged on the calypso scene during the 1980s, facing criticism onstage at Skinner Park as a “mixed”, female calypsonian in what has traditionally been seen as a male-dominated field. She never let this deter her however, and adamantly portrayed her love for her craft to the best of her ability, which earned her multiple crowns as Calypso Queen, and the 2001 Calypso Monarch Title with her popular song, “Nah Leaving”.

She began singing from an early age as a student at Holy Name Convent, and with their choir won several youth music competitions. Additionally, she participated in popular local talent competitions: "12 and Under", and "Scouting for Talent." As an adult, she regularly performed at the Chaconia Inn in Maraval during the 1970s-1980s.

Plummer released her first album in 1978. Her popular melodies eventually made their way to the ears of Len “Boogsie” Sharpe, who invited her to perform the Phase II Pan Groove steelband’s Panorama song, “Pan Rising” in 1986, although she had never sung calypso before. Her infamous debut at the Calypso Monarch semi-finals at Skinner Park saw jeering crowds throw projectiles at her on stage which she then incorporated into her performance, winning herself the respect of her audience and revealing why, “Woman is Boss”, as her 1988 song stated.

Following this, she was invited by calypsonian Superblue to perform at his Culture House calypso tent, and then at the late Aldwyn Roberts’, (Lord Kitchener’s) calypso tent The Revue, where she remained for 18 years. She enjoyed a successful calypso career and performed widely abroad as well, even winning Amateur Night at the Apollo Theatre in New York in 1989.

From 2015 until her passing Denyse Plummer had become a performer of Gospel music, but still incorporated the rhythm and music of calypso into her songs. In 2011, she was awarded the Trinidad & Tobago Hummingbird Medal Gold for her contributions to culture.

Galleryyuhself - from one the many fans...

Waking up to the sad news of the death of one of my calypso heroes and former calypso monach Denyse Plummer

She was a true patriot, sister of the soil, kaisonian legend and raw talent who changed the course of the artform, making it something that belonged to all of us, regardless of class, creed or skin colour!

She remained loyal to her country and the artform, despite facing discrimination and hostility as some viewed the colour of her skin as having no place in the calypso arena. She was greeted with a toilet paper waving audience who threw corn husk at her in Skinner Park, yet she persisted and sailed towards stardom, to become one of most successful and well known calypsonians worldwide, taking the crown with her rendition of my favourite love song to Trinidad and Tobago - Nah Leaving.

Listen to it here and see her perform in all her Trinbagonian glory!

As a young calypsonion, I myself faced hostility from some of my fellow junior artistes, who did not shy away from telling me that kaiso isn't for "white people", referring to the fact I was a few shades lighter than what they deemed to be accepted into the prestigious circle of who can represent OUR culture on the big stage. Denyse was a huge inspiration to me then and will remain so forever.

Thank you, My Queen. Thank you for everything you have done for women in calypso. Thank you for loving our culture and our country so fiercely and unapologetically. Thank you for showing us what true patriortism looks like. Thank you for your beautiful voice. Thank you for the music.

Go fly high now...

Woman is Boss!!!

Listening to an episode of the @antiquesfreaks podcast where they cover the costuming in The Terror and here are some amazing moments:

"But Ken, are you the only one of us that put themselves through reading the book?" "I did. Because John Bridgens was trapped inside and I had to get him out and if I read the book good enough, perhaps I could save him"

"If you don't tell these men what to wear, they're gonna look like straight up hoochies."

"As we see in the later episodes of The Terror and discipline does break down and Dundy just starts showing up to command meetings with his suspenders out! Slattern that he is!!!

"Victorian Navy: one to one analog to working at present day Target."

"I heard they flog you at Target."

"I was press ganged into working at Target."

"It's Victorian times. Everyone's wicked fucking repressed and they're about to get wicked un-repressed whether they like it or not, and they're going to show that through their clothing."

"a blur of muttonchops"

"I pre-gamed the show for 5 years with gifsets on tumblr to makes sure I would be able to tell at least the major speaking roles apart, and I still could not tell Little and Jopson apart until I figured out they had different eye colors."

"And now I'm Pilkington SpottingTM as a hobby"

calling JFJ a "fashionable boy" with his "nippies out" because he doesn't button up his coat all the way like Franklin and Crozier

The two regular hosts repeatedly comparing themselves to a delinquent class that their guest is stuck substitute teaching

"I think my character would be hitting a fat doobie right about now"

Discussing Jared Harris being obsessed with his own costuming details like all the mending on Crozier's clothes

Jopson's first appearance - "he's normal and they're normal and everyone's having a normal time here on this completely routine expedition." "It's so normal. Do you ever fall in love with your boss???" "It couldn't have been more erotic if they had just had gay sex."

Stanley and McDonald's button grouping on their uniforms to denote rank

THEY TALK ABOUT THE ICONIC JFJ GANSEEEYYY

Also Irving's Sanquhar scarf :')

"the red sweater of tenderness" sobbing screaming throwing up

"I think The Terror would have been improved if all of the marines had Boston accents for no reason"

Also marines vs normal sailors

comparing sailor's clothes to fast fashion because it's not very tailored lmaooo

The canvas overcoats being period inaccurate but still neat because they're referencing later polar expeditions like what we see on the guys in the Shackleton expedition etc

They talk about irl Goodsir's letter about clothes and the many many shirts!

Nive having to wear a cooling vest under her costume since it was real caribou fur and her coat being patched with sail cloth later.

They go into Yup'ik masks which is super cool! As well as have a conversation about the ethics of visuals/information/knowledge about indigenous artwork being shared with folks outside of those communities.

Repeated! Dan! Simmons! Roasting! As! They! Should!!!!!

Reapted! Nive! Nielsen! Praising! As! They! Should!!!!!!!!

Sophia's "oceanic color theme"

"They let the dresses have colors. The dresses have colors. The dresses have bright beautiful colors, and it's great."

"They had invented aniline dyes and they were about to make it everybody's problem!"

Lady Jane in more solids vs Sophia in more patterns

"'A woman could never possibly understand polar exploration' meanwhil Silna's up there doing it better than all of them."

Clowning on how other period pieces never use bonnets and always fuck up in the hair and makeup department

"I found Harry Goodsir's fursuit btw"

"On a scale of Calypso's Birthday to Fitzjames's Carnivale, how's your impromptu nautical drag ball going?"

"It's actually exactly like The Purge." "It's like a little Victorian maritime Purge."

"As far as metaphor and literary analysis and whatever, scurvy understood the fucking assignment."

"I punched in Scorbutic Nostalgia so that I could remember to read about it later." "I have some literature for you if you want." "Yeah fantastic! I love disease"

"CGI bear expensive"

"This episode comes with a heavy caveat of 'go to Terror Camp'" amazing.

THE DRESSTM

Tozer's Hotspur costume and Dundy's Henry VI costume and their relevance

"This is the last we see of Party!Dundy"

(About Little) "Every day he gets emails :("

Bridgler and Apollo/Hyacinthus stuff fuuuuuccckk

"Hodgepodge, my boy"

"Oompa loompa doompity dacticals, don't indulge your morals over your practicals"

"Rip Hickey you would've loved Joker"

Not a silly quote but just a really fantastic one: "That is what the best historical designers do, is they find these nuggets of information that allow them to tell a story with authenticity, both in a way that is historical but authentic to the characters as well." EXAAAACCCTTTLLLYYYYYY

"Whomst among us has not Joplarped to get through the workday?"

[prismarts]

Hiiii Prism. Hey so. Wanna introduce me to Epic The Musical???? I see it on my dash all the time now but I never bothered to look up what it actually is. On purpose lol. Because at first I totally skipped over it thinking it was some Percy Jackson fanart, and then I thought it really wasn't that big of a deal, and now it seems to be a HUGE deal to so many people on Tumblr. And I enjoy the kinda not-in-that-fandom-adjacent tea-sipping vibe veeeeeery much. So. I literally do NOT know what it is. Is it like Hamilton??? Is it a Percy Jackson fanwork??? Is it neither???? You have now been given the absolute power over whatever you let me know. Because I have no clue.

Go wild. (Please haha.)

OH HI FRIEND!! HI BAB!!!

Okay okay uhhh finedje. I NEVER had to pitch something to someone without the ability to just physically sit them down and like show them before cause I'm generally bad at explaining things but LEMME TRY!!!

So so, Epic the Musical is a musical concept detailing the Odyssey that is being made and like chopped up into 9 sagas! We have 8 of them now so one more to go!!!

Made by the wonderful, and very silly, Jorge Rivera-Herrans, Mr. Jalapeño himself. He wrote it with the theme of ruthlessness in mind, as in when do we adopt the philosophy of being ruthless to other people and when do we show kindness and mercy. (I may be explaining this wrong, Jorge has so many little videos explaining his process about creating Epic, i might leave a link so you can hear from the man himself)

It's not like a Percy Jackson fanmade thing, I know Jorge has read the Odyssesy and is essentially adapting it into this musical in his own way (I say this cause some people just can't comprehend it being its own thing as an adaptation). I don't think Jorge has read PJO? I could be wrong.

It could be compared to Hadestown the Musical? BUT THE ONLY SIMILAIRITY IS THE LIKE ADAPTATION OF A GREEK MYTH INTO A MUSICAL, OTHERWISE THE GENRE AND STUFF ARE VERY DIFFERENT.

I will uhhh keep note that Epic takes heavy inspiration from video games and anime which has the musical take several creative liberties and not be a one to one of the actual Odyssesy. One example of like the video game inspirations is every saga having some sort of boss battle esque song at the end, as if you are going through a video game, level by level.

And the anime inspirations are heavy in the ways Jorge uses iconic anime imagery or like I guess visual tropes in his references whenever he commissions artists to do animatics or animations.

THAT'S ANOTHER FUN THING TOO!!! Aside from the thousands of fan animatics that come out with each saga, Jorge also just commissions art, animatics and animations from artists with each new saga that he'll debut during the album's live watchparty where we listen to the whole musical up till the latest saga. So we have like fan animatics but also in a way, canon animatics and animations on how things go down.

He puts so much care into the music and the like themes and and uhhh musical terms escaping my head but he carries over chracters and their musical motifs so well throughout the story.

He also uhhh does open auditions to EVERYONE like ANYONE could audition for Epic with just leads to so many hidden gems of singers and songwriters that he just hypes up so much, he hypes up their work in Epic and their own personal musical endeavors.

Some of the amazing cast are: Teagen Earley who plays Athena, TROY who plays Hermes, Steven Dookie as Polites, Talya Sindel as Circe, Barbara Wangui as Calypso. Of course, Jorge himself plays Odysseus and he is also just incredible vocally.

HE ALSO uhhh casts his family members in this which is super fun and wholesome and I won't spoil who they play cause its such a fun treat to discover as you listen.

Aaaaaaaaaaa what else-

It is also very silly, we get quite a few silly moments and I really enjoy that. Jorge is really good with sprinkling the silly moments in between the songs and just delivering such a good experience. A lot of the silly moments just become memes and that's also a fun time.

I just love the way he adapted the musical in this very very unique and amazing thing, it's this phenomenon of like story telling and music and also just a collaboration of art between not just the cast who come from so many places but also the HUGE community and I think that's the most special part, y'know?

I think that's all? Imma try to link some of Jorge's shorts and videos here just for fun and because he might explain things better lol.

Thank you for the ask bab! Hope this helps explain, I'm not that good at it lol xD 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 *hugs*

WIP Wednesday 5.3.23

Happy Hump Day, tumblrs! I feel as if I have been MIA for a hot minute, but as usual it’s life getting in the way. I’m adulting for a lot of folks in my life right now, which doesn’t leave much time for Robin and what she wants to do. Toss in a job search, a carpal tunnel flare-up, and a car accident (no injuries, cosmetic damage which requires more time (it gonna take effort and rental car set-up to  make my baby pretty again) and a deductible), and … yeah.

However, I am working as best I can on getting stories out of my head and onto the screen; not a lot of snippets but plenty of synopses below the cut if anyone is interested.

Gossip Girls (inspired by CFCW’s #YouGoGirl event): No way will I finish this story by May 4 (Star Wars Day, yay!), hence the “inspired by”.

Queen Riley of Cordonia is having a much-needed, long-awaited brunch with her girls Annabelle Parsons and Yu the Chinese Waitress. There’ll be virgin mimosas, reminiscing on how their friendships began, decent food, a Riam Riley-style breakdown of the Princes’ true parentage, and Riley the Single Mother dealing with three boys who have no idea of public decorum. TCW’s Princess Marguerite may or may not make an appearance.

Fingers: For #WorldWhiskeyDay, this is a compilation of PB characters with a common denominator using liquor to soothe hurts, douse anger, and celebrate milestones.

Waiting Room (#Not Choices):  Pop culture icon Jerry Springer and the woman behind the catalyst of the Civil Rights Movement, Carolyn Bryant died on the same day. What if the Ringmaster and the Architect found themselves alone in the afterlife’s waiting room and held a conversation while awaiting the ultimate judgement?

A/N: This story will deal with mature subject matter and may contain offensive language (racial slurs apropos of the time period). This may or may not be posted here on tumblr; expect appropriate tagging and warnings if it is.

Eat Pray Love (tentative title) This is an ambitious what-if where Riley leaves Cordonia after the latest attack by the Sons of Earth. With Drake. The King of Cordonia and his Queen prepare to battle a new foe who is determined to unseat them, and only one person can help them. But will they?

Untarnished Silver: A celebration of King Liam and 25 years of Rys rule by the country, it’s citizens, family, and friends.  

I also have other irons in the fire: Object of Affection, Chapter 6 of the DC AU series, The Poisoned Apple, UnRomance non-con, and possibly Thievery Corporation, the first chapter of Catch Me if You Can (a gang of art thieves matching wits with Interpol; #it’s choices), chapter 2 of Streets of New York, and chapter 2 of One Night Stand.

I do hope everyone is well, or at least making it through okay. Life can be hard and come at you fast. Take care of you, okay? Updates (if not full-blown chapters/stories) will be posted as they become available.

See you soon!

Mun: Kida, aka Calypso

This portrayal of Peter Parker is heavily based on the MCU version of the character, but I've been a fan of this character for as long as I can remember, so there are likely comics/movies/shows influences in there as well. I write him mainly as a 21 year old, but I do also have verses in which he's still a teenager, and some where he's later in his adulthood. I'm open to writing with pretty much anyone as long as it makes sense - hence the slightly selective title. I love to mix universes, cross fandoms, do weird AUs, ship muses.. all that good stuff. I won't lie though; I am not mutuals only, but I do tend to prioritise mutuals. Don't let that scare you away, though, come and say hi! Asks are always open to anyone, if you're looking for a way to break the ice. I'm 26, ADHD/ASD, fucking weird, and I've been roleplaying for an ungodly amount of time. I like to think I'm pretty chill! I don't care how long it takes anyone to reply, and I'm always down for a grounded chit-chat.

Hi there! I'm using your latest Calypso theme. I love it! But I do have a couple inquiries, hope you can help out!

Okay, so first off. For some reason, the dark/light mode toggle button is not showing at the top left corner of the sidebar as shown in the preview. But its situated near the icon pic and is hiding the icon pic. Do you know any way I can fix hat?

Also, its alight if it isn't possible, but I was wondering if I could maybe increase the sidebar size a little? Like make it appear a little bit bigger and wider than it is? Again, it's totally okay if that's not possible, I was simply curious!

Thanks in advance, hope you're having a wonderful day <3

Hello!

I believe the reason is because the title/subtitle is too long, which results in the day & night mode button to covering your icon since I'm using flexbox.

This is easily fixed if you increase the sidebar! You can just add this piece of code:

.side-wrap { width:15vw; }

Change 15vw to a higher number, and make sure you use vw instead of px!

.wrapper { width:calc(var(--post-size) + 21vw); } .tabs { margin:100px 0 100px 21vw; } body.right-side .tabs { margin:100px 0; }

Change 21vw by adding 6vw to the width of the side-wrap. So if you changed the width of the side-wrap to 18vw, you'll have to change 21vw to 24vw since 18 + 6 = 24.

If you plan to copy and paste the codes above, please do so from the dashboard! The font I’m currently using on my blog makes the two dashes (-) into an en dash (–)!

You'll also need to add this piece of code directly under the code above. This is to make sure it's responsive on mobile screens if you choose to not use the default Tumblr mobile theme.

@media only screen and (max-width:999px) { .wrapper { width:100%; } .side-wrap { margin:0; position:inherit; height:auto; width:100%; } .tabs { margin:0 auto; width:90vw; } body.right-side .tabs { margin:0 auto; } }

Please let me know if you still have any questions!

EVERY DAMN QUESTION. ♥️♥️♥️ - LO

an ask meme for multimuse muns / ft Lo making me work for it

Which of your muses is hardest to ship with? Which is the easiest? // The character of mine that I think is the easiest to ship with is probably Harry. He is gracefully unproblematic and his personality can really be bent with anyone. Perhaps why I have two Harry oc’s? Who knows. I think the most difficult would probably be a toss up between Ashley or Calypso. Their general attitudes can be absolutely horrendous and I can admit that here and now. 

Which muse do you feel like you write more than others? // John. Simply because I play him the most. I’m going to credit that to the fact I’ve been playing him for so long that it has become second nature.

Which muse is the most insecure? // Definitely Hayley. In her defense it is well warranted based on what all has happened to her. 

Which muse is the most confident? // Ashley is at least the best at faking her confidence.

Which muse is the friendliest? // It’s a tie between Lights and Hayley. Both of them are essentially angels when it comes to their personalities. 

Which muse would you like to ship with the most? // Right now all of my muses are pretty well fed so that’s hard to say. Shoutout to Lo for making me answer all of these questions and for giving all of my favorites muses the ships of my dreams.

Do your muses like each other? What are their relationships with other muses on your blog? // I crossed this one out because it doesn’t quite feel relevant. They’re all different universes and I’ve never put thought into it. I mean, they don’t n o t like each other!

What is the age of your muses, oldest to youngest? // I refuse to list them all off but their ages range between 22 - 32.

Do you plan to add more muses to your roster? // I don’t usually plan to add more muses, it just sort of happens. I’m sure there will be more though! I have so many faceclaims I want to use / so many characters that I love. But again.....I’m well fed.

Do you think you have too many muses, not enough or just enough? // The limit doesn’t exist? Although my answer is also just enough. I love all my children, alright?

What do your muses agree on? // The only thing they all agree on is fluid sexuality and coffee.

Why did you decide to make a multimuse as opposed to a dual-muse or single muse blog? // Seeing as I don’t write my muses on this blog I’m crossing this one out too. Although I decided to make this blog so I could find more humans to write with, look at me go!

What drew you to write on tumblr? I found it on accident! I’ve written just about all over the board. On Myspace, on roleplayer.me, on discord, on Facebook when that was a thing. I’m no stranger to it. I think that the appeal of Tumblr is that it’s the only one that hasn’t shut down already and it’s easy to save everything.

What previous platforms have you written on? Oh man, I just listed those. Just about everything. I’ve been at this for far too long.

Have you had other multimuse blogs n the past? Are they still active? I have and it’s no longer active. Just out here bein’ Yikes.

What is the maximum number of muses you’ll consider having on your blog? The limit, once again, does not exist. I will have as many muses as the world throws at me. Whoops.

Which muse have you put the most effort in? I’m going to say three because in terms of how long I’ve been playing them the award goes right to John. But in terms of how much work I’ve put into their character and their backstory it goes to Calypso. 

Which muse would you like to develop more that you haven’t? I’m really looking forward to developing Collin and Dakota. Both of them have been ridiculously fun so far and I think it can only get better from here on out.

Which muse do you not write for much but want to? Once again I am spoiled with the world’s most iconic writing buddy that let’s me write my favs whenever I want.

What do you consider to be your most liked character? I make them all so annoying, do I even have to pick? Probably Hayley. She gets the bonus of being an iconc - asskicking lady who is seemingly unproblematic a majority of the time.

What do you consider to be your least liked character? Probably Collin just because the plots he has have certainly set him up to be a bad noodle.

Do you prefer to write for OCs or Canon characters? It doesn’t matter to me. Although I don’t like taking on canon characters that I know next to nothing about. 

What are the most common themes you find in your writing? I just spend the last three hours writing an essay and so maybe it’s my bitterness that is going to make me ignore this question.

What are the most common tropes you find in your characters?  Again, same. My characters are all caffeine addicts though. Damn, y’all.

What are things you wish to write but never get a chance to? Not necessarily any topics but I definitely have ships I’ve wanted. I’ve been doing this so long I’ve pretty much written every plot that has generally appealed to me.

== Love Notes ==

Wow! Today was a busy day in the fandom! I feel like Mondays always are, but today feels particularly busy! There's so much going on, and everyone seems to be having such a great time with the new press release photos that were found yesterday!

It's so lovely to see this kind of energy and love being injected back into the fandom. I was mentioning this to a friend recently... that it feels almost like OFMD itself is a giant puzzle that we all have access to, and every time we think we're nearing completion of it, some cool new footage, bts, stills, information, interviews, anything-- shows up and suddenly we have all these new pieces to fit into place.

The puzzle is never really finished, but it gets bigger and more intricate with every discovery, and I absolutely love spinning the pieces around and seeing where they fit with all of you.

Whether you are brand new to the fandom, somewhat seasoned, or an ofmd fandom elder, I hope you know that you bring so much joy to this place! I know sometimes we have our spats between fans, but what family doesn't have those? We have so many talented, brilliant members on this crew, and I love coming back online every day and getting to fit another piece into the puzzle with you.

I hope you all are having fun crew, because that's what fandoms are all about. Remember to take a break if you need to, and scream loudly all your love if you feel up for it. We love hearing it <3 Happy Murray Monday lovelies!

== Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika ==

Happy Murray Monday all! Tonight's theme is Flight of the Conchords (with Murray Hewitt and Larry Pritchard)!

[archonvs]

welcome to archonvs!

we are hard at work building a totally new and unique site for y’all!

archonvs dips its toes into some of the best genres rp has to offer: dystopia, creatures, abilities, all with an awesome, futuristic, cyberpunk setting!

while we work on this bad boy and queue up some teasers, a few little tips for navigating our buzz tumblr:

if you hover over our site icon, you can alternate between light and dark modes! so, if you have a preference, you can switch it up (i, personally, prefer the dark mode myself - but follow your bliss!).

to the left of the site icon, you will see a “navigation” tab. if you click on that little cutie patootie, you will see a little pop up that has a link to our claims page so you can see if your face is available as well as some fun little site status updates so that we can keep you in the loop on where we’re at in the site building process!

and, of course, as we go along, we’ll be coming up with site buzz events that you can participate in to earn claims!

we can’t wait to share this site with you and meet all your characters!

love you alreadyyy, calypso
