#OTD in Irish History | 11 August:
In the Liturgical Calendar it is the Feast Day of Saint Attracta (also called Araght, and Naomh Adhracht in Irish), the patron saint of the parish of Tourlestrane, Co Sligo. Her legend states that she fled from home and took her vows as a nun under St Patrick at Coolavin. She then moved to Lough Gara, where she founded a hostel for travellers at a place now called Killaraght in her honour. The…

SYNPOSIS. when a girl's co-star is good to her and now she wants it more than everything in between. (smau)
A/N. this chapter is more like world building (it's where i explain what the fuck i'm doing with the YN okay)

The "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series at Disney+ has added an unexpected pick to its growing cast.
The new live-action series is based on the hugely successful novels from author Rick Riordan of the same title. We will be seeing YN LN join the series as Rina Velasco, one of the supporting characters of the show.
LN's Rina Velasco is referred to as "the offspring of The Muses, goddesses of the sciences and the arts." Unlike most other demigods, she is born out of the artistic and scientific output of the muses. When the moral ingenuity of humans meets the divine musings of The Muses. Her character is described as a unique allrounder who becomes a mentor figure to our main cast as they embark on their journey.
This will be LN's first on-screen role of her career. LN's experience mostly lies in Broadway, she is known for playing Kim in the Miss Saigon revival on Broadway. LN was nominated for a Tony in 2022 for the same role. She is repped by Salonga/Chien Entertainment and B817 Agency.
Riordan posted on the Meta app, Threads, about this update to the casting saying: "YN was one of the actors we didn't expect to see a tape of but when we saw it, we couldn't help but fall in love with her. She embodies the spirit of Rina so well and is such a kind spirit, we can't wait for you to fall in love with her too! Welcome to the cast, YN!"
The live-action show is based on Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson book series. It tells the fantastical tale of the titular 12-year-old modern demigod (Scobell), who's just coming to terms with his newfound supernatural powers when the sky god Zeus accuses him of stealing his master lightning bolt. With help from his friends Grover (Simhadri) and Annabeth (Jeffries), Percy must embark on an adventure of a lifetime to find it and restore order to Olympus.
Production on the show is now underway in Vancouver. Riordan and Jon Steinberg are writing the pilot with James Bobin directing. Steinberg and his producing partner Dan Shotz are overseeing the series and serve as executive producers alongside Bobin, Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Bert Salke, Monica Owusu-Breen, Jim Rowe, Anders Engström, Jet Wilkinson, and Gotham Group's Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, and D.J. Goldberg. 20th Television is the studio. Salke was formerly the president of Touchstone Television and originally put the show into development.

A/N i truly hope you guys can forgive the horrible editing in the pictures. the article portion is based on (and has some parts that are directly pulled from) this article from variety ! here's some succint information about rina velasco, the PJO character YN LN plays (and is my childhood OC!) - rina velasco, filipino, 18 years old (year younger than luke) - she's an offspring of the muses, not directly a child or daughter, though she may be referred as such - by her being an offspring of the muses, i mean that she was born in the same way athena's children are born. - but in rina's case she's more like a weird conglomeration of each muse. her birth is a rare event, but her mothers are honored as minor goddesses so she stayed in the apollo cabin (connection to music) - rina operates as a guidance figure for the main trio, especially annabeth - she's also luke's love interest, there's a lot of tragicness and doomed romance stuff with those two - and for the sake of everyone, we pretend like the weird i love you from the books didn't happen !

Dan AND BOB WHEELER had bets on the Lakers, that ending was insane. Shot clock suddenly stops working, refs tried to find a solution which ended up having Tanter announce the shot clock for that last minute which felt like an eternity. Even Mike Breen was upset that a good game ended like that. PURE CINEMA.
We were all Dan. lmao

THE PERCY JACKSON TV SHOW: WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR
This post is as of May 15th, 2022. All posts like this will be under “#what we know so far” on this blog.
What We Know
General
It will be a live action series on Disney+
Rick Riordan and Becky Riordan are heavily part of the process, including overseeing the series with their production company, Mythomagic, Inc. and as members of the writers’ room.
Season 1 will cover book 1 and will be 8 episodes.
Production starts June 1st, 2022, and will end January 25th, 2023
Currently optimistically planned to be released in 2023.
Casting
Percy Jackson will be played by 13-year-old Walker Scobell
Annabeth Chase will be played by 12-year-old Leah Sava Jeffries
Grover Underwood will be played by 16-year-old Aryan Simhadri
Walker, Leah, and Aryan are already in Vancouver and are working on their swordplay, stunts, and “fine-tuning their knowledge of Greek mythology and their characters.”
Casting calls have gone out for other characters that appear in the first book, but these are closed calls so only those with agents could audition.
Casting for characters that show up in later books, such as Nico, or later series, such as Heroes of Olympus, wont happen for a very long time
Production
Executive Producers: Rick Riordan, Becky Riordan, Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz
Pilot Director: James Bobin, who will also direct the second episode
Jet Wilkinson and Anders Engstrom have also signed on to direct.
Production Designer: Dan Hennah
Costume designer: Tish Monaghan
The show will be filmed at Mammoth Studios in Vancouver
They plan to use a similar filming process to The Mandalorian (Industrial Light and Magic’s “Volume” stage: 360-degree virtual technology) (video on how it works).
They have been scouting for filming locations over the past few months.
The Writers’ Room
Writers: Daphne Olive, Monica Owusu-Breen, Joe Tracz, and Rick Riordan and Becky Riordan
Assistants: Xavier Stiles, Zoë Neary and Stewart Strandberg
Scripts for episodes 1-4 have been submitted.
Working on outlines/scripts for the rest of the season.
Season 1 follows book 1 but they’re “adding a lot of interesting nuances, depth, Easter eggs and backstory” to keep the story fresh and fun for those who know the books well.
Until the next post like this (aka, when there has been enough new information to make a whole new post), I will be posting updates of what news and little tidbits of information we get as they happen. Follow here and/or on Twitter.

Rainbow main RRL fictional United Irish committee part 1 of 2... wall of lore text on the lineup under the cut
Part 2
Charlie Breen - Defender leader responsible for ferrying information and setting up meetings between the committee and the Defender lodges. Also important to the story as Seamy's father
Dr. Anthony Franklin - responsible for, one, communicating with the London Corresponding Society, and, two, the crucial job of providing medical and scientific advice to the committee. Works as a Man of Science™️
Dan Beatty - the elected leader of this particular committee. Chosen for his level head, discretion, and friendly manner when mediating disputes, he has faced criticism only for his aversion to violence except in self-defence. Outside of this he is a Gentleman™️
Iain Hoyle - the artillery guy, who is also notable for his esoteric view that the committee ought to commence making and using explosives along with their more ordinary weapons. Manages a shipping company with his sister in his spare time
Dorothy Hoyle - the leader of a special women-only United Irish cell which mainly distributes propaganda and gathers information. A sort of unofficial committee spymaster. Runs the Hoyle & Hoyle Shipping Company with her brother's help in her spare time
Francis "Frank" Borden (later the sixth Marquess of Langham) - owner of a book bindery which provides a discreet meeting place for the committee and less discreetly passes out propaganda. Also typically acts as the main go-between between this committee and the rank and file due to his working-class background
Alexander Joy - a Northern Star reporter who is ambiguously a peripheral, fictional member of the real life republican Joy family. He's like... the team brain cell. He also seems to somehow know every single Irish or Scottish person of any import, so he's also useful for providing introductions when they are needed

Finally got my hands on the exact copy of a book I’ve wanted since I was a teenager, something about this cover always really struck me. This book the account of General Tom Barry, an Óglaigh na hÉireann guerrilla fighter from Cork, Ireland, an area at the time known to many as “Bandit Country”. This book along with Dan Breen’s “My Fight For Irish Freedom” remain some of the most seminal first hand accounts of the Irish Revolution.

Holmes Herbert, June Collyer, and George O'Brien in East Side, West Side (Allan Dwan, 1927)
  Cast: George O'Brien, Virginia Valli, Holmes Herbert, J. Farrell MacDonald, Frank Allworth, June Collyer, John Miltern, Dore Davidson, Sonia Nodell, Frank Dodge, Dan Wolheim, William Frederic, Jean Armour. Screenplay: Allan Dwan, based on a novel by Felix Riesenberg. Cinematography: Theodore J. Pahle, George Webber. 
In Allan Dwan's silent East Side, West Side, big, likable George O'Brien plays big, likable John Breen, a naïf in the city. O'Brien also played a naïf in the city in his other big film of 1927, F.W. Murnau's Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. Murnau's film is an acknowledged masterpiece and Dwan's isn't, though Sunrise is melodrama striving to be art, whereas East Side, West is unabashed melodrama, rags to riches, interrupted romances, secret parentage, self-sacrificing heroism, sneaking villainy, happy ending and so on. Somehow Dwan manages to stuff all that, plus a subway cave-in and a sinking passenger liner, into a tidy 90 minutes. It all begins with O'Brien's Breen looking at the Manhattan skyline from the barge he lives on with his mother and stepfather, and longing to be part of it all. He gets his wish, sort of, when the barge is swamped by a passing ship and his parents drown. He swims to shore and hides out in the cellar of the Lipvitch family's home. They take him in and put him to work assisting Papa Lipvitch in the tailor shop, and he begins a shy flirtation with the Lipvitch daughter, Becka (Virginia Valli). A suitor for Becka's hand, known as Flash (Frank Allworth), spots Breen's talent for fisticuffs and helps him get a start as a prizefighter. When he begins to make a name for himself, he catches the attention of the wealthy developer Gilbert Van Horn (Holmes Herbert), who soon recognizes that Breen is his long-lost son -- he was forced to annul his marriage to Breen's mother, who decided never to tell her son about his father. Uncertain whether to reveal the truth to Breen, Van Horn asks Breen what he would do if he ever met his father: "I'd kill him!" Breen replies. (The italics are in the title card.) Van Horn decides to keep the secret, but he takes Breen in and tries to fulfill his desire to become a builder in the city he loves. He also introduces him to his pretty ward, Josephine (June Collyer), setting up a rivalry with Becka. Dwan never wastes time putting all this plot into place, which proceeds as you might expect, the story flavored with evocative shots of the city. The film touches only lightly on the ethnic character of the East Side: The Irish are seen as pugnacious and clannish, and the Lipvitches are obviously meant to be Jewish. There's some stereotyping in the penny-pinching character of Papa Lipvitch (Dore Davidson), but the issue of intermarriage is never raised in the case of Becka and Breen. East Side, West Side is the only silent film in the Criterion Channel's retrospective of Allan Dwan's work, but it makes me wish there were more.

#OTD in 1920 – Sinn Féin County Councillor John Lynch of Kilmallock, Limerick was assassinated by British agents at the Exchange Hotel, Dublin.

A group of 12 soldiers entered the Exchange Hotel, wearing military caps and long black Burberry coats. They held the hotel porter, William Barrett, at gunpoint. After consulting the register they went to the bedroom of John Lynch. It…

Dès 1922, Hollywood commence à réfléchir à l’élaboration d’un code de bonne conduite, mais ce n’est qu’en 1930 que les studios chargent un certain William Hays, presbytérien et républicain, d’établir un code d’autocensure. Il s’agit, en réalité, d’apaiser les groupes catholiques qui, par leurs pressions constantes et les coupes qu’ils exigent, menacent l’économie du cinéma. Pourtant, ce n'est qu'en 1934 qu'il sera appliqué et, durant cet intervalle de quatre ans, va émerger le «précode» : un cinéma d'une liberté folle, ne lésinant ni sur les débauches de violence ni sur le sexe, afin d'attirer dans les salles une population appauvrie par la Grande Dépression. Les figures du gangster (Scarface, Little Caesar) ou de la femme déchue qui s'élève socialement en usant de ses charmes (Baby Face) ont les faveurs d'un public qui s'identifie à ces réprouvés, purs produits de la crise économique. Les ligues de vertu, écumant, durcissent leurs menaces de boycott, et finalement, un code strict, édicté par le fanatique Joseph Breen, va museler toute la production cinématographique pendant plus de trente ans. Le blasphème, la représentation du sexe, de la violence, l’homosexualité, la toxicomanie, la prostitution, les baisers de plus de trente secondes, les décolletés ravageurs, la présence d’un homme et d’une femme dans le même lit, sont formellement interdits.
Tumblr media
Aussi stupides soient-elles, ces règles vont paradoxalement permettre aux réalisateurs les plus inventifs d’étoffer leur cinéma, par la suggestion, la métaphore, l’ellipse et autres ruses - dans lesquelles Hitchcock, notamment, va exceller. Le cinéma frontal et direct qui caractérisait le précode va céder la place à un autre plus ambigu, plus érotique, travaillé par le hors-champ, l'idée étant de solliciter l'imagination du spectateur et de lui donner l'impression d'avoir vu ce qui en réalité n'a pu lui être montré. Par exemple, voir dans le train s'engouffrant dans un tunnel, à la fin de la Mort aux trousses, un acte sexuel, ou dans le feu d'artifice de la Main au collet un orgasme explosif. En contournant ces interdits par la mise en scène, les cinéastes auront aussi déniaisé et éduqué le regard du spectateur, l'invitant à l'interprétation et à la lecture herméneutique. Le morcellement des corps, le déplacement métonymique - le gant de Gilda , le chignon de Kim Novak dans Vertigo, les bijoux de Grace Kelly, etc. - deviendront finalement les marottes d'une cinéphilie compulsive à l'œuvre, un fétichisme du regard que seules la censure et ses entraves auront permis de révéler.
