My media this week (19-25 Nov 2023)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🥰 Old Town Road (Singles series) (Chris Molanphy) - Part of Duke University Press' series Singles, chart geek/music historian Chris Molanphy dives deep into "Old Town Road" which he describes as a 'one of one' phenomenon. To quote the book blub, which sums it up nicely: Molanphy shows how “Old Town Road” channeled decades of Americana to point the way toward our cultural future. Fairly short and incredibly readable.

🥰 Ordinary Numbers (BootsnBlossoms, Kryptaria) - 44K, canon-divergent meeting for 00Q

🥰 The Ruin of Gabriel Ashleigh (Society of Gentlemen #0.5) (KJ Charles, author; , narrator) - short story, kicking off KJC's incredible romance series set in during the Regency and political unrest around the time of the Peterloo massacre

😍 [Podfic] Mr Webster's Wager (fahye, author; HowOldAreWe, narrator) - 29K, very slight canon-divergent expansion of The Ruin of Gabriel Ashleigh, expanding on Francis & Ash getting together - so well done I almost consider it a part of the series, at least for my own rereads - this is a really great podfic of it!

😍 A Fashionable Indulgence (Society of Gentlemen #1) (KJ Charles, author; Matthew Lloyd Davies, narrator) - exquisite Julian finds purpose and love transforming young radical Harry into a gentleman. Plus there's the Peterloo massacre and personal murder plots

😍 A Seditious Affair (Society of Gentlemen #2) (KJ Charles, author; Matthew Lloyd Davies, narrator) - Tory/Radical romance with some incredible digging in to what it means to be a man of principle ('Wednesday by Wednesday, I have loved you')

💖💖 +75K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

Art Nouveau (voluptuous_panic) - MCU: shrunkyclunks, 12K - reread, forever fave - Cap!Steve has a disastrous first date at a hipster cider bar but luckily the hot, tattooed bartender is there to distract him. Short & very, very hot.

Okay. Because I'm never not thinking and constantly feeling the urge to vomit my thoughts into the void...Another crack but not too crack-y theory from me, just something to chew on.

ST4 and Henry's abduction have always begged the questions:

How did Brenner keep Henry under control before he realized he needed to chip him? (Because there was a before time in HNL, the line goes "when Papa finally realized he could not control me, he tried to recreate me")

When was Soteria invented, and why? (It seems rather Henry-specific, we haven't seen used so far on anyone else, so I'm inclined to think it was something custom-made.)

What was Brenner using to keep Henry subdued between the event that made him realize he needed to subdue him and the time he actually chipped him?

How long was the time period between kidnapping Henry, realizing he was uncontrollable, and actually chipping him?

Because if we go off One's monologue, in which he indicates that Soteria and the inception of childrens' program happened at around the same time.

if we look at 002, he looks to be somewhere between 15-19 years old in 1979, meaning he was born between 1960 and 1964, making Henry anywhere from 13 to 17 years old.

However, to be born in 1960, 002 would have been conceived within a year of Henry being abducted. So...definitely possible, but less likely, and it sounds like Henry was tattooed and chipped around the time of either 002's birth or 002's conception.

Which, at that point, he looked a fair bit older than he did at his abduction, no matter which version of events you go with:

Raphael is 16 years old presently (going on 17 in December), so I'd feel comfortable placing Henry at 14-15 years old in the tattoo scene. That makes this 1962, making 002 about 17 years old in 1979. Bingo.

This is especially interesting to me when we revisit one of the other questions: What did Brenner do between realizing Henry needed to be chipped and actually chipping him? After all, this isn't some lab-born kid with unshakeable loyalty to Brenner. This is Henry, who supposedly killed his mother because he wanted to escape her and Brenner. If he's uncontrollable and awake and wanting to escape someone he has zero emotional ties to, he's dangerous. Extremely so. (I mean, look at how El behaved when she wanted to be free of Brenner in ST4, and she's got massive emotional ties to the man.)

So if he's uncontrollable to the point of being unusable, then what did they do about him, 14-15 years old (would be a freshman in high school), between realizing he needs to be chipped and chipping him?

Which could work as an explanation as to why Brenner's "getting his start" in his lab while also being set in 1959:

Getting his start with the program, perhaps, rather than his station at Hawkins Lab in general.

Either way, where better to hold an uncooperative security-threat prized-possession kid indefinitely than in an idealized version of the place you got him from? El fought NINA because she was put back into her own personal hell. But what if you took a kid out of hell and stuck him back home?

Not to mention...

Freshie who refuses to cooperate

Matrix-style stasis tanks for UD creatures

And do I need to say it again...

Post 5, Week 7 - Body Modification on Visual social media [bodies of others do not suit you.!]

Body modification has become a popular trend on visual social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat. People use these platforms to share pictures and videos of themselves with various body modifications such as tattoos, piercings, body paint, and other forms of body art. The popularity of these platforms has contributed to a rise in body modification culture and has allowed people to connect and share their experiences with others who have similar interests.

Instagram is considered as being part of attention economy (Panel®, 2022) from which emerges many influencers community and numerous people seeking attention of others and being able to fit in. Nowadays influencers and microcelebrity are marketing tools for brand on Instagram. For instance, the microcelebrity are people with followers exceeding ten thousand followers and they can engage with business on social media platforms to promote brands and business (Panel®, 2022). But this is related to the theme of identity on social media as most business tend to create beauty ideals for women such as Selena Gomez. Followingly, studies show 88% of women and 65% of men compare themselves to images they observe on social media (Support, 2021). But unfavourable thing is Visual body processing of others’ bodies also involves processing of your own body and involves perception with mental representation of a body which might result eating disorders because how we experience visual body might not always reflect the reality (Support, 2021).

On the other hand, body modification as a form of self-empowerment for women (Atkinson 2004; Braunberger 2001; Pitts 1999; 2003). And, the female or male body can no longer be regarded as a fixed, concrete substance, a pre-cultural given when it comes to understanding how power works in our society. "In Phenomenology of Perception (1962) Maurice Merleau-Ponty writes that the "body is to be compared, not to a physical object, but rather to a work of art... it is a focal point of living meanings..." (p. 150-151).

Somehow, I would say it is important to be aware of the potential risks associated with sharing images of body modifications. Moreover, It is important to approach these platforms with a critical eye and to always prioritize personal safety and well-being as the bodies of others do not fit you.

Finally, I Found You. (Klaus Hargreeves x Reader)

Request: Hey! I looooved your Klaus headcanons and was wondering if you could write about when him and the reader are reunited in the 60s??? Totally fine if not, have a nice day!

A/N: Awh thank you so much, I hope this is alright dude! I am really tempted to turn this into a series tho... if you want that?? Even if this is really rough and kind of rushed. Kinda angsty? Kinda sad? Very fluffy. Enjoy!

Being spat out of a spinning vortex into a dingy alley was enough to stress anybody out, especially after a rather terrifying and life threatening encounter with your sister initiating the apocalypse. Navigating through the twenty first century was difficult enough, but being catapulted into a completely new decade with nothing but your bag and clothes you were wearing just about topped that.

Letting out a cry as you hit the ground and groaning as you rolled over and tried to get our bearings. Glancing around to see if you could locate any of your siblings whom you were with only a few minutes previously, you stood up and brushed yourself off, you began calling out their names. Sadly with no success, there was no response, you were alone.

You continued pacing along the pavement, trying to come up with a plan of action. Deciding you couldn’t improve your situation much from the alley, you emerged into a busy street and began wandering down the road. Progressing along the street, you could not help but take notice of the architecture and clothing surrounding you. Definitely not similar to the modern aesthetics you were used to. Flagging down an approachable looking woman and kid you asked what year it was, sharing peculiar look she confirmed your suspicions. It was July 24th 1962. Brilliant.

Trying hard not to think the worst of your situation, you mind wandered to Klaus. The two of you had hardly been apart for more than one night over the course of your year long relationship, your stomach dropped at the thought of him being isolated in a random time period, unable to contact anyone, nobody to help. A small part of you wished Ben was with him, but you were completely clueless as to how this whole time travel business worked. You attempted to brush that thought aside for the time being, first you had to find somewhere to stay. Sleeping rough with nothing but the clothes on your back did not sound appealing, luckily you had some spare cash in your bag for a room for a few days, giving you sometime to formulate a plan.

The first night was definitely the hardest. Deciding to find the cheapest hotel you could, you booked a room for the night, collecting the keys and collapsing on the mattress. As soon as you got into the uncomfortable bed you knew sleep would not come tonight, the double bed was not helping either. You spent the majority of the night on your side, laying there and glancing at the opposite side of the mattress, where he should be sleeping. It felt too empty without Klaus hogging the blanket. You couldn’t help the collection of memories the two of you shared popping into your mind. Lazy weekday nights, limbs draped absentmindedly over one another, Klaus’ hand tracing soft patterns into your shoulder as you talked about absolute nonsense for hours. Both dreading when the morning came as you would have to leave his arms. Growing up in Hargreeves’ mansion you would constantly sneak into his room, even before you were together. Your ability to turn invisible was a great help, coming to comfort him if your father pushed him too hard again was almost a nightly occurrence. You loved the way he would relax as soon as he felt you lift up the blanket and settle in next to him, knowing he wouldn’t have be alone.

You smiled at the thought of him, he always had to be close to you. Even in his sleep you caught him reaching for you sleepily or rolling his leg onto you in an attempt to pull you closer. You often wondered if he even knew he was doing it or if it was entirely subconscious. After everything he went through growing up it was no surprise he had clingy tendencies. You wouldn’t change him for anything, if he needed you close, you had no problem obliging him. If it made him feel safe you would do it.

It was at this point the tears started to fall. For someone who had been through so much to then be stuck somewhere, unable to reach you, made your heart ache. Tomorrow you would figure something out, however futile it may be, you were determined to at least try and make a life for yourself here.

3 Months Later:

The three months had not been easy, by any means. It had mainly consisted of you on the road, finding work pretty much wherever would take you. Getting the car you were currently driving was a feat in itself, stealing an automobile had never been on your bucket list. You never liked using your power to steal, however, it was your only mode of transport and occasional place to sleep. You always coaxed Klaus not to just take things, he would be shocked if he could see you now, the look on his face would be priceless! On the bright side, you could have picked a worse car, with five seats, a convertible roof and playable radio, you had risen in worse rides.

More memories surfaced in your mind, ones where you took Klaus out for a drive out of the city during the beginning of his sobriety. This started as an attempt to inject a new lust for life into him, show him there was more to the world than just powder in the back alleys. Soon your little road trip became a weekly occurrence, driving with Klaus and losing track of time, just each other for company. You loved him dearly but you both decided it would be more beneficial if you were the one behind the wheel, not that he cared, he was given full control of the music this way. He insisted on having the windows down and the music loud, staring at you with his pupils slightly dilated, feeling doped up on life rather than various pills. You loved how radiant he looked, you even let him get away with wailing along to the lyrics on the radio, at least for a while…

“Klaus, I love you, but I’m gonna need my eardrums in the future,”

“Yes, I’m aware. Why do you think I’m gracing them with my dulcet tones?”

You couldn’t help but jokingly glare at him. Once again he was never to far away from you, laughing and giving your thigh a squeeze as you watch the city disappear behind you, along with his worries.

Dragging yourself back to the present (well, 1962), you gripped the steering wheel, forcing yourself to focus on the road instead of the bittersweet memories you held. They were the only things you had left of him, and you hoped that wherever he was, he was safe.

You decided to return to the town where it all began, Dallas, Texas. You were in need of some new clothes and a quick bite to eat before you got back on the road, in search for another short-term job to earn some much needed cash. A second-hand shop would probably be the most budget friendly option for clothes, ringing the bell as you opened the door, you began to flick through the various fabrics and patterns of clothing. One of the things you loved about this decade was the flamboyant clothing, he would have thrived here. Gathering quite a large armful of clothes, you decided to go try a few on, just looking through your selection one last time before you committed to the changing room.

You were ripped from your thoughts by a loud thud on the window, resulting in you dropping the bundle of clothes you had accumulated during your browsing. Huffing and turning your attention to the window, ready for some kind of confrontation, although, nothing could be further from your assumption.

Your eyes met with the same hazel ones you had been gazing into for the last year, unmistakable hands with tattoos were firmly placed on the glass. His jaw was slack and his eyes were wide as he gawked through the glass. You began to shake as you drank in the sight of him, your chest tightened and you found it increasingly difficult to breathe. You wanted to run into his arms, but you weren’t sure if your legs would carry you. You couldn’t feel anything except the racing of you heart. Time seemed to still as you just stared at one another.

He was the first to break the gaze, tripping over himself in an attempt to reach the door. He forced the door open so forcefully that the bell nearly fell off, it didn’t stop him though. Running down the shopping aisle, pushing the racks aside as he continued towards you, knocking over a few clothing racks, not slowing down as he slammed into your open arms. The impact of the force sending the two of you tumbling to the ground, both of you gripping onto the other in fear they may disappear again. He could feel you shaking in his hold, overwhelmed with the entire situation, he kept his grip firm around you, letting you know that he is here and you are safe. He doesn’t plan on leaving you.

Finally managing to pull his face from the crook of your neck, you held his face in your hands, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. You weren’t aware you were crying until you felt his calloused hands brush away a stray tear from your cheek.

“It’s really you isn’t it?” You managed to choke out, you must have looked insane to the shopkeeper, both of you smiling and sobbing, curled up on his shop floor.

“Of course it’s me, nobody could recreate this amount of beauty and personality twice,” he joked and cracked a smile. That typical Klaus smile you missed so much. Even in a time like this, supposedly sentimental, he still had to get a wisecrack in.

“You’re such an idiot Klaus, only you could compliment yourself in a time like this,” you said, you weren’t sure if you were crying or laughing at this point, but you knew you were finally happy.

“I’ve had to do it myself for a while since you were absent,” he said, you couldn’t miss the subtle sadness that passed over his features.

“Come on then Y/N”, he groaned as he stood up, offering a hand to help you, “We have a lot of catching up to do.”

You glanced up at him before you accepted his hand, his hair was longer than before and he looked healthier, but he was undeniably still your Klaus. You placed you hand in his and let him drag you up, resting his arm around your waist, slightly tighter than he used to. You allowed your head to rest on his shoulder, re-familiarising yourself with his body. The two of you definitely had a long conversation ahead, you allowed him to drag you to the nearest diner, excited to unburden yourselves after finally finding each other.

Hulu New Releases: April 2021

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

While the first day of spring technically belongs to March, everyone knows that it kicks into high gear in April. To celebrate the changing of the seasons, Hulu is finally bringing back its signature original series for April 2021.

Season 4 of the multiple Emmy award-winning The Handmaid’s Tale premieres on April 28. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen June and her dystopian world. In fact, it’s been so long that our own world decided to endure its own dystopian pandemic in the meantime. Hopefully this series’ return will mean we can keep our political and social collapses on television where they belong.

Aside from The Handmaid’s Tale, Hulu isn’t brining much else to the table in terms of originals this month. Thankfully, the one other original that Hulu has in store for April sounds completely righteous. Sasquatch, the latest docuseries from the Duplass brothers producing team, will cover exactly what the title promises. This three-part series heads off to the Pacific Northwest for a tale about an elicit pot farm and the possibility that three men were viciously murdered by Big Foot on it. Sign us up!

Library titles for Hulu in April 2021 are also pretty thin. But April 1 does feature the arrival Mad Max (1980) and Die Hard (1988). Then April 28 sees the arrival of…well, Arrival (2016). Those aren’t bad streaming options in case the weather in April decides to not be spring-like.

Statistics

tw: alcohol mention, death mention

BASICS

Full Name: Petunia Rosaleen Robinson (née Taylor) Nickname(s): Pet, Petty, Tuney Age: 57 Date of Birth: December 22nd, 1962 Zodiac Sign: Capricorn Place of Birth: Jacksonville, Florida, USA Ethnicity: Caucasian Nationality: American Gender: Cisgender Woman Pronouns: She/Her Sexual Orientation: Bisexual Romantic Orientation: Biromantic Religion: Loosely Christian Occupation: Freelance Hairdresser Financial Status: Rich AF, thanks Cornelius. Education: She has a high school diploma and went to cosmetology school Language(s) Spoken: English & Bad Spanish Accent: It’s honestly such a mixed bag. She says most things in a generic American accent (the kind you hear in every tv show) but she has lived in New Zealand and Swynlake so she’s picked some stuff up.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Face Claim: Lea Thompson Hair Color: Red (Ginger) Eye Color: Light Brown Height: 5′4″ / 162.5cm // 1′ / 30.5cm Weight: 117lbs / 53kg // 5lbs / 2.2kg Build: Lean/Muscular for her age Piercings: Ears Tattoos: None (that you can prove)

PERSONALITY

Label: Can I just say Karen? Positive Traits: Fearless, Methodical, Tidy Negative Traits: Hot-Tempered, Inflexible, Grumpy Goals/Desires: Break her curse, spend time with her family, start her own salon! Fears: Heights, Water (Swimming) Hobbies: Shopping & Singing Quirks: Well ignoring her puppet quirk when her heartrate goes up... She tends to flatten her skirt/shirt when she gets nervous or overwhelmed.

FAVORITE/LEAST FAVORITE

Colors: Petunia has a love-hate relationship with the color pink. A natural ginger, it is a color that she knows she should avoid but it reminded her of her childhood and her innocence. You will still find more light blues or minty greens in her wardrobe but she will always have a soft spot for pink.

Weather: Petunia has a love-hate relationship with the color pink. A natural ginger, it is a color that she knows she should avoid but it reminded her of her childhood and her innocence. You will still find more light blues or minty greens in her wardrobe but she will always have a soft spot for pink.

Music: Petunia is a pop kind of girl, though she loves Franny’s music as is required of all Robinsons. Top 40s Pop Music is what you’ll catch her playing most of the time while cutting hair. There is also some country music sprinkled in there but she won’t admit that it’s her music.

Movies: RomComs! Anything with a romantic plotline is her absolute favorite. Petunia knows Casablanca by heart, every word perfectly performed if you ask her. She will bear with the family watching science fiction but she often worries that, perhaps, Cornelius is just looking for crazy ideas. Not that she minds his inventions, she simply doesn’t understand them.

Beverage: Wine. Petunia is your local wine mom, it’s rare that you’ll find her drinking much else. The only other thing you can ever catch her drinking is water during one of her workouts. She has been known to dabble in protein shakes but the texture is too unbearable to do more than take a photo with and then toss. She is not on board with that fad.

Foods: Petunia tells people she’s a health nut, that she could do keto, but she’s not. She really likes sweets. In her acting days she tried not to indulge in her sweet tooth but now, when she’s not in front of a camera, she is a sucker for cookies and other pastries. She can’t help herself.

Animals: Petunia doesn’t mind animals but she’s never fully desired one, either. She admires the aesthetic of cats because they’re beautiful and aloof. She is scared of rodents and will scream dramatically at even the hint of a mouse’s tail.

HEADCANONS:

Petunia is terrible at painting. She watches her son with all of his talent and can’t help but feel a hint of envy that mixes with pride. She’s glad at least someone is using the arts to further themselves. If she couldn’t succeed in her intended field then she would do everything to help her son in his. She will paint with him if he asks and has saved every painting he has ever given her. How is she supposed to get rid of them? They’ll be worth millions one day!

Petunia Robinson doesn’t know how to swim and, at this point, she’s too afraid to ask. She hasn’t mentioned it to most of the Robinsons as she’s rather embarrassed by this. She was from Florida for god sake, she cannot be scared of the ocean! Yet here we are, 57 years old, unable to swim. She will sit in the shallow end of a pool or lounge in an inflatable kiddie pool during the summer but the ocean is made for tanning on the shore, not diving in.

Petunia learned Spanish for a role once. She’s not fluent by any means but she’s not… Well… She’s pretty terrible, actually. She thinks she’s better at it than she is. She likes to brag that she’s very cultured. She’s trying her best.

CURSE EXPLANATION

Whenever Petunia Robinson experiences an extreme emotion she will transform from a human form to a wooden puppet that is a rather crude caricature of herself. She becomes about two feet tall and can move, though it is clunky and slow. Her voice takes on a hollow wooden sound and she cannot change back until she has fully calmed down. The curse does not care if the emotion she was experiencing was positive or negative, simply the intensity. They believe it is probably linked to heart rate but they have no idea really how to control it.

FAMILY

Father: Elmer Taylor Mother: Eloise Taylor (née Page) (Deceased) Sibling(s): Joe Robinson (brother-in-law), Billie Robinson (sister-in-law) Spouse: Fritz Robinson Children: Laszlo Robinson & Tallulah Jeane Robinson Nibling(s): Cornelius Robinson (nephew), Darareaksmey Franny Sor Robinson (née Framagucci) (niece-in-law), Wilbur Robinson (grandnephew), Art Framagucci (nephew-in-law), Gaston Framagucci (nephew-in-law) Pet(s): None (that are hers at least)

Cal joined the staff at the age of 20, becoming an errand boy before being promoted to a gravedigger position at 25. Cal's the unofficial head gravedigger and the only man allowed to plot out where the next grave is dug or object to digging any reason.
