fun fact! It is unlawful for any public institution to require individuals to stand or recite the pledge of allegiance to the united states of america since the 1943 supreme court case of West Virginia Board of Education v Barnette, which ruled that such actions constituted a violation of the first amendment.

The case was started by several Jehovah's Witnesses, who in 1936 were informed that saluting the flag and reciting the pledge would be considered idolatry and baptised JWs who commited such actions would be breaking their covenantry with god. This resulted in a number fo children of JWs being expelled from their schools for refusing to recite the pledge.

In 1942, West Virginia passed a regulation making the pledge mandatory for all schoolchildren, and that refusal to do so could result in jail for the parents for up to thirty days. This resulted in the expulsion of many JWs from schools across the county, including the Barnett family children. The Barnetts soon went to court, claiming that such requirements violated "equal protection" under the 14th amendment and freedom of religion and speech under the 1st amendment. The District Court enjoined the Board's regulation, and they appealed to the supreme court soon after.

The court was required toconsider the precedent they had set just three years prior with Minersville v Gobitis, in which they ruled that the enforcement of saluting the flag in public schools was not in violation of any laws or rights, and further that the enforcement of such displays was necessary for the national unity and continued security of the united states. This time around, seeing that the issue at hand would not infringe on the rights of others, the court ruled that it was an infringement on free speech for the state to compel any individual to take such an oath or perform such actions. The court stated in its opinion,"Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters." in reference to the Nazi regime, and that "To believe that patriotism will not flourish if patriotic ceremonies are voluntary and spontaneous instead of a compulsory routine is to make an unflattering estimate of the appeal of our institutions to free minds."

i dont really have a way to end this i just think it's cool. that even in 1943 the supreme court was able to recognize that encouraging "national unity" by removing freedoms was and always will lead directly into facism, even if it took the jehovahs witnesses raising (SEVERAL!) complaints to get them to that point.

Random question, could you give some ideas on Irish names your family may have in the 1950-60s? I got a character with an Irish grandpa with 9 brothers and sisters (3 brothers and 6 sisters) and I only got the oldest sister name (soairse) and his name (Caine). I guess I could just name the rest some form of jack and Margret since those seem to be popular, but I wanted to see if there were some “interesting” names you found in your family tree that maybe one of the siblings got named after some ancestor?

Firstly for the sake of clarity: I'm American, not Irish. All of my ancestors for the last 4-5 generations have lived here, and while I like learning about the language/music/culture, I am absolutely not an expert. I HIGHLY recommend getting a sensitivity reader, I'm sure someone in the comments can wave at you if they're willing to take on the job.

Second, Triple-check the spelling, pronunciation, meaning and provenance of any names you do choose, and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TRUST ANY BABY NAME WEBSITES, they're basically all AI slop at best. The best written-down lists and meanings are actually on Wikipedia.

Third: If you want to learn more Irish names, you can look up the names of like, any Irish musician or artist. I think spotify still has Genre Playlists, if you look up "Irish Folk" you'll get a shitload of names of Real Irish people- and hey, if Hirohiko Akari can name all his characters after 80's pop bands, you can make a subtle ref to modern musicians. Also you'll get a bunch of fun music! --- So while I was writing this, I somewhat departed from the intent of this response, and am putting the last point under a cut because the post got long. And weird.

So there is a thing in Irish-american families, and I think it's true in the British isles still where there are "Family Names", where the same set of first names is recycled over and over and over across generations. My dad's family has exactly three male names that they rotate through over the generations: Roy, Emmet and Jack*. In that order, where the son takes the father's first name as his middle name. My great-grandfather was Roy Jack Surname, my grandfather was Emmet Roy Surname, and my dad is Jack Emmet. My sister and I were AFAB, so the names skipped us and my male cousin in my generation is now Roy Jack. In the event that there are more than three living men with the same surname in the family, that's when they start reaching for the Given Names Of In-Laws We Like and might introduce a new name into the lineup.

*Names changed for privacy above and hereafter, but you get the idea.

So if any of your characters are descendants of that grandpa? They may share a first or middle name with one of his siblings. in fact, they may share the SAME first and middle name with a living relative, and be called "Junior" or "Young Firstname" to distinguish them from the relative they were named after.

My mom's family is from England and has a similar tradition: any new girl born into that family gets a name that is based on the name of one of her living female relatives, usually by sharing the same first letter or syllable. Elanor after Eloise, Vivian after Virginia, and also Jenny after Virgnia via 'Ginny' and every variation of Margret ever, which there are way more of than you'd think.

I cannot recommend doing what they did with Male names though: Name literally every boy Bob* for like five generations, and distinguish individuals by middle name (Bob-Howard and Bob-Benjamin) surname (Bob-Jones and Bob-Bailey) or Honorific (Captain Bob, Dr. Bob, Bob Jr.) when yelling out the kitchen window.

Most families have to good sense to not have the same name repeated in a generation, even if it has a shitload of nicknames. A mother and daughter might both be Margrets (with different nicknames), but two sisters or cousins wouldn't be.

If you've got in-laws you like, but their surname didn't carry over to their kids, you can also just use their surname as a first name! "Regan" is a first and last name, as are Riley and Bailey. This works out in some cases but not in others:

I have a pretty rare surname- last time I checked, there's only 14 people with it worldwide. It's similar to two other VERY COMMON Irish Surnames, but spelled different and from a different region. It's also Very Definitely A Surname- nobody would see my surname alone and think its a firstname.

Since I don't want to bandy it about, we'll pretend that it's "Breathnach", which has a similar vibe.

My Iowa family is Enormous and all descended from my Great-Aunt Lilyanne, Emmet-Roy's sister. Being a good catholic girl, Lillyanne took her husband's surname when she married, and most of her descendants still have that surname, and none have Breathnach.

After the last of my grandfathers grandchildren were born my Iowa family was sad- all but one of Emmet-Roy's grandchildren was female, and my male cousin has his father's surname. Assuming that we would all marry and take our spouses names, the Iowa family despaired that that the Breathnach name would die out!

So one of my second cousins decided that she would Carry On The Family Name, by giving it to the son she was carrying as a Firstname.

Yeah.

Being "Breathnach Surname" is bad enough, but this was compounded by the fact that the Iowa family's surname is Thomas.

YEAH.

My poor cousin Beathnach Thomas, who always has to re-do his paperwork because NOBODY ever puts the names in the correct boxes, who had his first name printed on every jersey he ever had because the uniform place went "that can't be right!", who cant buy his own beer because he's had so many drivers licenses confiscated because liquor store owners and bartenders think his ID is a fake, who has to not only spell his name to everyone he meets, but explain it too.

Then I made it worse.

I ran into cousin Beathnach in Bozeman, Montana quite by accident a few years ago, and while catching up, I mentioned that I was married.

"You know, it's a real hassle, but I'm kind of glad I've got the name I do. I'd heard you sister changed her name, and now with you married- I'd be sad to think we were running out of Breathnachs, you know?" he laughed.

I had to explain.

I married the most wonderful man in the world, who has an extremely common first and last name. Which was kind of a problem, because he shares it with some truly rotten people that always come up during background checks and he has have to explain he's not THAT asshole. It also sounds like and is only a letter or two off a lot of other very common names so his mail is constantly sent awry.

My husband will shortly abandon his too-common-for-comfort surname and become the newest Breathnach, taking the total to 15 (the paperwork takes a while).

...So the name lives on through us anyway, and poor cousin Breathnach Thomas went through all that for no reason. He got very quiet, got up from the table and walked outside to the veranda of the restaurant we were in to stare into the picturesque scenery for a while.

"Well, it's not like people change their first names..." he sighed, when he returned to the table.

"...You know how my sister changed her name? She only changed her first name. She's still a Breathnach." I explained quietly.

I've never seen a man look so haunted.

"I know lots of people who've changed their first names, actually. Mostly for transgender reasons, but a bunch because they just didn't like the one they were given." I added, because if he's going to get his world turned over, it's best to flip it all at once.

His brow furrowed at the ponderous speed of a continental collision, approaching the idea with caution. "...I'll have to think about it."

It's been about a year, but since then, I'll get a text from him every few weeks, auditioning a new given name. I do my best to be fair- I give him the meanings of those names, how they're likely to be misconstrued (some are tolerable annoyances, some pose a safety risk), and if he'd be sharing that name with anybody notable or troublesome. The first few were clearly based on Breathnach, but he began to branch out, and the trend of names has indicated that the idea of Naming Himself is causing my cousin to examine himself, and come to some Realizations (TM).

I realize I have gotten completely off-topic from your actual ask, but I urge you to really get into the nuance of nomencalture, because a name can tell a fascinating story.

Helen question: What does she do for a living, and does she enjoy it?

she doesn't "work" in the traditional sense in young vets au. not that ev wouldn't be completely supportive if she wanted to, but she genuinely loves being home w/ their kiddos and ev organizes their finance ish so they can manage off of his income just fine. (and she/wyatt probably get some sort of benefits from nash's passing- unsure how that works exactly).

speaking more to hobbies though i can soooo see her being a 'local history' rabbit hole digger- especially having grown up in appalachian west virgnia in the same town her family had been in for generations. moving to new york is for the best for a lot of reasons, but it did sting to leave and maybe getting more into that research helps with the homesickness.

PATRICK WAS ON DRUMS????????? FUCK U VIRGNIA FUCK THE FACT WE DONT HAVE A STREAM WE ARE SO LOSING TONIGHT

[aemiron-main]

Okay, so, I’m thinking about Stav’s post regarding the TFS casting weirdness and the audition casting vs the announced casting and, keeping the ton of victor-owens parallels in mind (see here, and here) and keeping multiple timelines in mind and keeping the idea of Owens possibly being Victor in another timeline/in the Edward timeline in mind:

Is it just me, or does the actor who was announced to play Victor in TFS resemble Owens WAY more than he resembles Young Victor/Kevin L Johnson???

Like look at those two and then look at Kevin:

The TFS actor for Victor, Mike Jibson, resembles Owens WAY more than he resembles Young Victor in the show/way more than he resembles Kevin L Johnson IMO.

Like there IS a resemblance between Mike Jibson and Kevin, but a.) I think the resemblance between Mike Jibson and Owens is much stronger and b.) there’s also a resemblance between canon Victor/Kevin and Owens which complicates things

And the Virginia Creel that they cast for TFS has blue eyes versus canon Virginia’s brown eyes (i know contacts are an option here but just setting that aside):

Versus Connie Frazier/the actress that plays her/Catherine Dyer:

And versus Owens’ current S4 wife/the actress that plays her, Christine Kellogg-Darrin:

Canon Virginia seems to resemble the TFS casting for Virginia the LEAST put of all of these ladies!! Even setting the eye colour aside and just looking at the face, especially the nose and jaw!! PLUS the fact that Alice is weirdly missing from TFS vs the fact that in the Edward timeline, Alice is the mother (which would explain TFS “virgnia’s” blue eyes vs canon Alice’s blue eyes)…..

And also, I wonder if the Creel daughter is here after all- I mean, the casting for Karen Wheeler certainly could pass as a Creel, and as James pointed out, she really does resemble Alice:

And with what I talked about here about Karen likely being daughter-Virginia/being the Creel daughter in the Edward timeline…. SOMETHING IS GOING ON HERE!!

And also, as a brief final note, isn’t it a Little Tiny Bit Interesting that Connie might be Edward Timeline Alice/Mother Alice vs Connie being Played by Catherine “Cathy” Dyer vs Owens’ S4 wife being named Cathy???
