PARADISE LOST

« Isaac Abrabanel Abrabanel was renowned not only as a philosopher but also as a biblical commentator, statesman, and financier. Born in Lisbon in 1437, he served as treasurer to King Alfonso V (d. 1481) and John II of Portugal (r. 1481–1495). He was accused of participation in a plot against John in 1483. He pleaded innocent and then escaped to Castile. In 1484, he joined the court of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, where he served as financier, was involved in arranging Columbus’s 1492 voyage, and strove in vain to prevent the expulsion of the Jews that same year. He then moved to Naples, and served King Ferrante (d. 1494) and King Alfonso II. With the sack of Naples by France in 1495, he fled with Alfonso to Messina, moved to Corfu after the latter’s death, and returned to Naples upon the French withdrawal. In 1503, he settled in Venice, serving as a diplomat there until his death in 1508. »

Inspector Warren Jacobi (Tyrees Allen) – Lindsay's loyal partner. He was up for the lieutenant position that went to Tom, but has not expressed much disappointment that he didn't get the job, seeming to prefer field work to the politics of the higher position. He also seems to prefer the finer things in life, having an affinity for wine, 30-year-old whiskey, and opera. He is thrice-divorced and has a child from one of those marriages.

Lieutenant Tom Hogan (Rob Estes) – Lindsay's ex-husband, who in the first episode was promoted to lieutenant and assigned as her boss. He is engaged in the pilot and has remarried by "To Drag and to Hold," but he still worries that Lindsay's obsession with her work will consume her. Tom was played by Christopher Wiehl in the unaired pilot.

Deputy District Attorney Denise Kwon (Linda Park) - Jill's immediate superior at the DA's office, she clashes with her over her "bleeding heart" style. She is also antagonistic towards Jill due to her past romantic history with Hanson North. When the show returned after the writers' strike, the first episode credits no longer showed her name. But by the second episode, she was back in the credits as a series regular.

Recurring cast[edit]

Luke Bowen (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) – Jill's ex-boyfriend. He is an ER doctor at the fictional Mission Cross North. Jill and Luke have recently broken up after he finds that she had slept with Hanson.

Hanson North (Kyle Secor) – Defense attorney who has a romantic history with Jill and is currently seeing her boss, Denise Kwon.

Ed Washburn (Jonathan Adams) – Claire's husband. Currently uses a wheelchair full-time after being shot while serving as a police officer.

Heather Hogan née Donnelly (Ever Carradine) – Tom's new wife. She is a kindergarten teacher who is eco-friendly, planning a green wedding.

Pete Raynor (Joel Gretsch) – Lindsay's love interest in season 1, who is in town for only two weeks.

Danielle Moné Truitt as Sergeant Ayanna Bell, squad supervisor of the OCCB task force and Stabler's current direct superior and partner.

Ainsley Seiger as Detective 2nd Grade Jet Slootmaekers, a former independent hacker who is recruited to the OCCB task force on Stabler's recommendation. She was requalified as an NYPD officer to work with the OCCB task force. In season 3 episode 16 ("Chinatown"), she is promoted from Detective 3rd Grade to Detective 2nd Grade.

Tamara Taylor as Prof. Angela Wheatley (seasons 1–2), a former math professor at Columbia University, ex-wife of Richard Wheatley, and a suspect in the hit ordered on Kathy Stabler. She committed suicide and presumably murdered Richard at the same time after discovering that Richard was responsible for her son Richie's murder.

Dylan McDermott as Richard Wheatley (seasons 1–2), son of notorious mobster Manfredi Sinatra, now a businessman and owner of an online pharmaceutical company who leads a second life as a crime boss, and was a suspect in the murder of Stabler's wife. He was presumed murdered by Angela after she discovered that Wheatley murdered their son Richie.

Nona Parker Johnson as Detective 3rd Grade Carmen "Nova" Riley (season 2, recurring season 2), an undercover narcotics detective working under Brewster's command to infiltrate the Marcy Killers. She retires from the NYPD and leaves New York after the murder of the gang's leader Preston Webb.

Brent Antonello as Detective 2nd Grade Jamie Whelan (season 3), a detective with the OCCB. In the season 3 finale, he is shot and paralyzed by Kyle Wilkie and later dies in the hospital.

Rick Gonzalez as Detective 2nd Grade Bobby Reyes (season 3–present), an undercover detective with the OCCB.

Chicago pd

Jason Beghe as Sergeant Henry "Hank" Voight, the enigmatic and often mercurial chief of the Chicago P.D.'s Intelligence Unit. Despite his brutal, tough exterior, he is loyal to the cops and detectives serving under him and highly "dedicated" to the victims of the crimes his unit investigates to the point of committing human rights violations, mainly torture, and not respecting the law. He is first introduced in Chicago Fire as a dirty cop who clashes with CFD Lieutenant Matthew Casey after Voight's son, Justin, causes an accident in which a teenager is paralyzed, and Casey, who was first on scene, had intended to testify that Justin was DUI. He is arrested by Det. Antonio Dawson for trying to have Casey silenced by force but is later released from prison and reinstated to the police force by Internal Affairs. As a result, many of Casey's colleagues dislike him, and Casey's superior Chief Boden has a love-hate working relationship with him. It is eventually revealed in the Chicago Fire episode "Let Her Go" that his dirty cop alter ego was part of an undercover operation to catch criminals and other dirty cops. Prior to taking command of Intelligence, Voight worked in the Gang Unit. His father Richard was a former CPD officer who was killed in the line of duty. Voight is a widower; his wife, Camille, died of cancer some years prior. His son, Justin, served in the Army and was killed in the last episode of season 3 while trying to help a friend. Voight took an interest in Erin Lindsay at 14 and raised her as his daughter.

Jon Seda as Senior Detective Antonio Dawson (seasons 1–6), an Intelligence Unit detective who previously arrested Voight for harassment and has since worked alongside him. Unlike Voight, he has limits on how far he will go to get criminals off the streets, as shown by the fact that he asks Halstead to stop Voight from killing anyone while on the hunt for Pulpo because he does not want it on his conscience. He and his ex-wife Laura have two children: Diego and Eva. He is the older brother of Chicago Fire character Gabriela "Gabby" Dawson. In season 4, he is offered a job at the State's Attorney's Office as Lead Investigator, which he accepts. After becoming disillusioned with the job, he returns to the unit in the first episode of season 5. In season 6, Antonio struggles with recovering from a shoulder injury and dependency on the oxycodone he is taking for the pain. After a dealer he owes kidnaps, beats, and rapes his daughter, Antonio, high on oxy, kills him in revenge. Though Voight and Ruzek manage to cover up the incident as self-defense, and Antonio successfully recovers in rehab, mayor-hopeful Superintendent Brian Kelton later gets the case reopened in order to take down the Intelligence Unit, and in the season finale, Antonio relapses after Ruzek is arrested after taking the blame for everything to protect him. In the season 7 premiere, it is revealed that Voight found Antonio and checked him into an off-the-books rehab clinic to get him clean again while also protecting his career. It was revealed several episodes later that Antonio resigned and moved to Puerto Rico to spend more time with his family.

Sophia Bush as Detective Erin Lindsay (seasons 1–4),[7] a tough Intelligence Unit detective and former CI whom Voight took under his wing when she was a juvenile delinquent. Because of this, she is closer to Voight than the other members of the unit. She has a half-brother, Teddy Courtney, who was taken by a pedophile ring at age thirteen and was found turning tricks in New York City 10 years later. She was in a relationship with her partner Jay Halstead from seasons 2 to 4. Near the end of the fourth season, Lindsay is accused of assault after she sticks her gun down a pedophile's throat in the interrogation room; facing possible dismissal from the police force, she accepts a job offer at the FBI in New York and leaves Chicago.

Jesse Lee Soffer as Senior Detective Jay Halstead (seasons 1–10), an Intelligence Unit detective who was Detective Lindsay's partner. A former Army Ranger, he is confident in his abilities and sometimes comes across as cocky. He also suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, shown progressively during Season 5, later seeking therapy for it. He is the older brother of Chicago Med character Dr. Will Halstead. He was in a relationship with his partner Erin Lindsay from season 2 until she transferred to the FBI in New York at the end of season 4. He later marries fellow detective Hailey Upton in season 9. Following Olinsky's death and Antonio's resignation, Halstead becomes Voight's right-hand. He later resigns from the force early in season 10 after becoming disillusioned with the gray area the Intelligence Unit has to work in, and returns to the Army in a new job hunting drug cartels in Bolivia.

Patrick John Flueger as Officer Adam Ruzek, a younger police officer recruited straight out of the academy by Olinsky to do undercover work. He is often portrayed as an overeager amateur who dives headfirst into a situation without thinking. His parents are separated, and he split time between his father, "Disco Bob" Ruzek (Jack Coleman), a longtime patrol officer with the 26th District who lives in Beverly, and his mother in Canaryville. He was engaged to fellow police officer Kim Burgess.

Marina Squerciati as Officer Kim Burgess, a former flight attendant turned uniformed patrol officer who was Atwater's partner. She was then partnered with Sean Roman before his departure. Burgess is shot in "Called in Dead" and spends the next episode recovering. She was engaged to Adam Ruzek; the relationship is later broken off because of commitment issues. She later develops feelings for Roman before he moves to San Diego. In season 4, she is offered a job in Intelligence, which she accepts.

LaRoyce Hawkins as Officer Kevin Atwater, a uniformed patrol officer who was Burgess' former partner until he was promoted to the Intelligence Unit. He is responsible for caring for his younger siblings, his brother, Jordan, and sister, Vanessa. After his brother testifies to a grand jury about a crime he witnessed, and Vanessa is threatened with rape for her brother being a snitch, he sends them to live with their aunt in Texas.

Archie Kao as Detective Sheldon Jin (season 1), a tech and surveillance expert. He was discovered to be a reluctant mole working for Internal Affairs sergeant Edwin Stillwell, who had leverage to make him cooperate. He is found murdered in the first-season finale episode, "A Beautiful Friendship".

Elias Koteas as Senior Detective Alvin Olinsky (seasons 1–5), a veteran undercover officer and a friend of Voight who previously worked with him in the Gang Unit. Before joining the force, Olinsky served in the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team stationed in Vicenza, Italy. Olinsky mentions in "Called in Dead" that he has eight confirmed kills in the line of duty. At the end of the fifth season, Olinsky is arrested for the murder of Kevin Bingham, the man who murdered Voight's son, Justin, and is later stabbed to death via a hit in prison while awaiting trial.

Amy Morton as Sergeant Trudy Platt (season 2–present; recurring season 1), a sarcastic desk sergeant of District 21, and the immediate superior of the district's patrol officers. Before taking a desk job, she was a uniformed patrol officer, and worked with Dawson. She passed the detective's exam twice. Platt is married to Chicago Fire character Randy "Mouch" McHolland.

Brian Geraghty as Officer Sean Roman (seasons 2–3; guest season 7[8]), a brash patrol officer who partners with Burgess after transferring to the 2-1 from District 31. He transferred out because of his relationship with Jenn Cassidy (Spencer Grammer), who is now a K-9 officer, to avoid breaking fraternization rules. He has his own private security company on the side. After being wounded in the line of duty, and with the department feeling he would be unable to return to patrol, he resigns and decides to join the San Diego Police Department.

Tracy Spiridakos as Detective Hailey Upton Halstead (season 5–present; recurring season 4), a tough former robbery-homicide detective and Erin Lindsay's replacement following her departure to New York. Upton gets transferred to the FBI field office in New York City in season 7 episode 18, "Lines", to temporarily fill in for an agent undercover. She has great relationships with her CIs and goes to many lengths to protect them. Despite a dark turn in Season 7, she is mostly a "by the book" detective. She is married to former Detective Jay Halstead.

Lisseth Chavez as Officer Vanessa Rojas (season 7), a rookie and Antonio Dawson's replacement following his resignation. She previously worked in an undercover operations unit.

Benjamin Levy Aguilar as Officer Dante Torres (season 10; guest season 9[9]), a recruit who had a complicated past and was recruited under Detective Halstead's wing.Recurring[edit]

Samuel Caleb Hunt as Greg "Mouse" Gerwitz (seasons 1–4), the tech and surveillance expert for the Intelligence Unit who replaces Detective Jin. He had served in the same Army unit as Halstead. After he persuades Voight to get a felony expunged, he resigns from Intelligence to reenlist in the Army.

Stella Maeve as Nadia Decotis (seasons 1–2), an 18-year-old former escort and addict whom Lindsay tries and succeeds in helping. She later becomes the Intelligence Unit's civilian administrative aide and was studying to be a police officer. She was murdered by Dr. Gregory Yates in Law & Order: SVU's 16th season, episode "Daydream Believer", the conclusion of the season's second SVU/Chicago crossover event.

The lizzie bennet diaries

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet (Ashley Clements;[11] Elizabeth Bennet in the novel) is the middle Bennet sister and the narrator of most of the vlogs. She is a graduate student studying mass communications and, like her original counterpart, believes women should be highly educated and do more with their lives than simply pursue husbands. She is very close with her best friend, Charlotte Lu, who was born on the same day as she, as well as her older sister, Jane, while appearing to have a more strained relationship with her younger sister, Lydia. While it is clear that she cares for her family and friends, she can also be fairly prejudiced and quick to judge people who she perceives as condescending or a threat to her way of life, such as Darcy and, at first, Bing Lee.

Charlotte Lu (Julia Cho;[12] Charlotte Lucas in the novel) is Lizzie's best friend and often the director/editor of her vlog. Charlotte wants to be a filmmaker and convinced Lizzie to start her vlog as part of a school project. While the original character of Charlotte Lucas from the books is a minor character, Lu's role in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries has been greatly expanded; she appears in many of the beginning episodes, and, according to both Lizzie and Jane, practically lives at the Bennet house. Charlotte and Lizzie have a falling out after Charlotte accepts Ricky Collins' job offer (which Lizzie originally turned down), but the two soon reconcile.

Jane Bennet (Laura Spencer[13]) is the eldest of the Bennet children, and an overworked, underpaid merchandise coordinator in the fashion world. She is incredibly polite, sweet and, according to Lizzie, "practically perfect in every way."[14] When Bing Lee moves into town, Jane is immediately smitten with him, much to the absolute joy of her mother. Jane is devastated by Bing's sudden departure. She moves to Los Angeles for both a new job and the hope of reconnecting with Bing. She later returns to her home to support her sister Lydia through her difficulties. After this is resolved, Jane is offered a new job in New York City and reconciles with Bing.

Lydia Britney Bennet (Mary Kate Wiles[15]) is the youngest Bennet child, currently attending community college. She is "feisty, energetic, and unapologetic."[16] Lizzie, somewhat less kindly, describes her as "too old to be on any reality shows about having babies in high school."[14] She has also created a series of her own videos starring herself, her cousin Mary, and her cat, Kitty.[17] On the occasion of her 21st birthday in December 2012, she and Lizzie get into a bitter argument about Lydia's perceived immaturity, and Lydia makes plans to vacation in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve, where she meets George Wickham and begins dating. Later, after being the victim of George Wickham's money-making site, she makes up with her sisters.

Bing Lee (Christopher Sean;[18] Charles Bingley in the novel) is a young, wealthy Asian-American medical student who has moved into The Netherfield House in the same neighborhood as the Bennets. He quickly falls for Jane Bennet and begins to date her. Bing abruptly leaves Netherfield and Jane by returning to Los Angeles, breaking Jane's heart, after Darcy suggests that Jane is only engaging in a relationship with him for his money and Caroline tells him that Jane flirted with another guy at his birthday party. However, after a run-in with Lizzie during her time at Pemberley Digital, he makes a return, having quit medical school to pursue his own passions. He and Jane move to New York together in episode 92.

Caroline Lee (Jessica Jade Andres;[19] Caroline Bingley in the novel) is Bing Lee's sister. She is aware of Lizzie's vlog diaries and appears to help Lizzie keep Bing and Darcy from discovering them during Lizzie and Jane's stay at Netherfield. She has a romantic interest in William Darcy, although her feelings aren't reciprocated. She is later revealed to have attempted to manipulate events to keep Bing and Jane apart, as well as (to a lesser extent) stymie Darcy's feelings for Lizzie. Caroline reappears in the sequel, Emma Approved, as Senator James Elton's fiancé, replacing Augusta Elton, the original wife of Philip Elton, from the novel.[20]

Ricky Collins (Maxwell Glick;[21] William Collins in the novel) is a former classmate of Lizzie and Charlotte's, who asks that he be addressed only as Mr. Collins. He has formed an alliance with venture capitalist Catherine de Bourgh, to attempt a foray into the world of web video. Mr. Collins frequently visits the Bennets while in town for a few weeks and, near the end of his stay, offers Lizzie a lucrative job at his company, Collins and Collins. Lizzie turns him down, so he offers the job to Charlotte, who accepts. This decision causes a brief but bitter argument between the two best friends, but they reconcile after Charlotte invites Lizzie to visit Collins & Collins (in the fictional town of Hunsford, California), where Lizzie also learns to tolerate Mr. Collins.

William Darcy (Daniel Vincent Gordh;[22] Fitzwilliam Darcy in the novel) is Bing Lee's best friend and the wealthy heir to an entertainment corporation called Pemberley Digital. He stays with Bing and Caroline at Netherfield until they all leave for Los Angeles. He first meets Lizzie at a wedding, and she overheard him telling Bing that she was "decent enough", which is when her dislike towards him starts. He is described by Lizzie as a snobby and condescending robot, and Jane has difficulty coming up with a flattering descriptor of him, beyond "tall";[23] Charlotte, however, believes that Darcy has a crush on Lizzie.[24] For a long time, second-hand characterization is all the audience has to go by, as Darcy is referred to but never seen, making his first appearance in episodes 59[25] (only from the neck down) and 60,[26] where he confirms Charlotte's suspicions by confessing his love for Lizzie.

George Wickham (Wes Aderhold[27]) is the coach of a university swim team who forms a short-lived romantic attachment with Lizzie. He claims that though he and Darcy were childhood friends, Darcy ruined his life by withholding money Darcy's father had promised, thereby ending George's hopes of a college education.[28] He leaves town for work, eventually re-entering the story after New Year's Day, where he meets and becomes romantically involved with Lydia, as chronicled in her spin-off videos. At the same time, Lizzie learns that George gambled away all the money the elder Darcy left for him, and then took advantage of Gigi Darcy, William's sister, for more. Finally, he attempts to exploit "YouTube Star Lydia Bennet" by releasing a sex tape of the two of them online.[29]

Fitz Williams (Craig Frank;[30] Col. Fitzwilliam in the novel) is Darcy's friend and colleague. Lizzie meets him while dining with Catherine de Bourgh, Darcy's aunt and Charlotte's boss. He has a boyfriend, Brandon, whose name was officially confirmed on Fitz's Twitter, and is particularly good at making care-packages.

Georgiana "Gigi" Darcy (Allison Paige;[31] Georgiana Darcy in the novel) is William Darcy's younger sister and a graphic designer at Pemberley Digital. Her first appearance in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries was Episode 77. She is aware of the video diaries, and claims to like them. She and George Wickham were romantically involved, but this ended when William proved that George was taking advantage of her for the money. Twitter posts between Gigi and Fitz suggest that she actively tries to push Lizzie and Darcy together. She is also instrumental in helping to end George's money-making plot: though the website itself did not list his name and George had stopped returning calls, he answers Gigi when she calls him, allowing Fitz and Darcy to track him down. Thereafter Darcy bought out the company which owned the rights to the sex tape, preventing it from ever being released.

Mrs. Bennet is Lizzie's mother. She appears to be a traditional Southern woman, eager to see her daughters married and interested in little else besides neighborhood gossip. She is almost always impersonated by Lizzie.

Mr. Bennet is Lizzie's father. He appears more calm and levelheaded than his wife, though one of his favorite activities, according to Lizzie, is winding her up.[32] He has a special fondness for bonsai trees and prepares a train extravaganza every Christmas. He is often impersonated by Charlotte and Lydia.

Catherine de Bourgh (Lady Catherine de Bourgh in the novel) is Darcy's aunt and an extremely wealthy venture capitalist who is the primary investor in Collins & Collins, the new media firm run by Mr. Collins, where Charlotte accepts a job offer after Lizzie rejected it. Catherine is very attached to her sickly dog who she calls Annie Kins. She is quick with her opinions and judgements. Charlotte said that Catherine is "on Team Caroline," meaning that she wants her nephew to be with Caroline. She is impersonated by Lizzie, and Ashley Clements says her impression is a combination of Julia Child, Miranda Priestly and Dolores Umbridge.[33]

Mary Bennet (Briana Cuoco[34]) is Lydia, Jane, and Lizzie's cousin who has appeared sporadically in Lydia's vlogs and once in Lizzie's. She becomes better friends and occasional tutor with Lydia while Lydia is staying at her house despite their opposing personalities. She is often the "forgotten" character and her Twitter reads, "I am Mary, never forgotten." Mary also has a boyfriend by the name of Eddie (a subtle nod to the character of Edmund Bertram from Austen's Mansfield Park.)[35] In the novel, she is actually one of the five Bennet sisters, being the middle sister between Elizabeth and Kitty.

Kitty Bennet (Rosie of House Wiles) is Lydia's cat who appears in Lydia's vlogs. In the novel, she is actually one of the five Bennet sisters, being the second youngest after Lydia.

(Wrote this out after getting this wonder bit of artwork which can be found here, from Tobi/Vivi Crow.  Hope you guys enjoy it.)

John Waterstrike sigh as he finishes the last of the paperwork for his mom.  “Kit, please be a dear and take these to the Clinic,” he says. The fairy flew over, taking the roll of papers from John, and giving a salute.  “Let her know that once I’m sure Warren and Hannah are clear of the ‘Creeping Death’, I’ll be able to return to work at the Clinic.”  He reaches up, scratching at the veining scarring along the left side of his neck.  He knew that the sun was probably making those scars stand out a bit more than usual, but he values them as it reminds him on how close he had come to lose himself and how much he values his life now.

 Kit nods, ‘Be back soon,’ she says, flicking off in the direction of his Mom’s clinic.

 Taking that few moments of quiet, John let his mind drift a little, and sort though some of the memories that he held.  He found some know moves in Pick’s set of memories, making note to practice them so he wouldn’t truly hurt anyone by accident.  He stays away from Gogonji’s memories…or as he like to call them “That one time I did something stupid”.  He still woke up in mid-scream as all those different memories in Chachan’s brother’s head had batter him around like a broken wing bird in a stormy sea.  Then there was that blank spot where ‘those’ memories had been.  He didn’t want to think about what would have happen if Khyran had not remove them.

 Finally, he came to Howl’s memories.  These he keeps close, for they were given freely, with no fear on what John could do. These he cradles gently to him, allowing the emotions on those memories to wash over his being.  Though there were not many happy ones, he treasures all the same.  He releases those emotion through himself…finally releasing them back into there place within his own memories.  He reaches up, brushing tears away from his eyes, before settling with paper and quill. There was someone that he had not spoken to in a while and he hopes that the Elezen was doing well.

 Sir Toviel Caligiuri,

I hope that this letter finds you and yours well.  I have not seen and spoken to you in a while and I blame myself for not trying to stay in touch more then I have been able.  Perhaps if the Twelve grants us favor, we could meet again and exchange stories of what we have been able to do and what we hope will come into our lives.

I do hope that this Starlight will be a wonderful time for you.  Please stay safe in your travels.

May Thaliak’s wisdom be a guide for you,

John Waterstrike

 John folds the letter, slipping it into an envelope, and placing it in the mailbox for the moggle to pick up.  He moves back over to the table, gathering up the items, and blinks as something plops down onto his head with a very familiar giggle.  “I see you’re back,” he says with a soft smile, his right hand reaching up to give her a lite tap on her head.  He could picture what she probably looks like on his head, her chin cup in her hand, her tiny elbow settle into his hair, one arm just slightly in front of her left arm…at least from the feel on the top of his head.  From the slight movement toward the back of his head, she was kicking her feet in satisfaction of what she had done.

 Kit grins.  ‘Howl home soon.  Almost Starlight.’

 He lowers his hand slightly after giving her a pet, “Soon.  He’ll be thrill to know that Warren is doing better.”  Kit gives a cheer.  “How about we get something to eat?”  He finish gathering up all of his paperwork and with Kit settle on his head, the pair step back into the Duskbreak…their home.

"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself."

Most days, I'm proud to be black.

It took a while to unlearn internalised racial biases, especially as a mixed kid but i did and I learned to love my blackness.

I'm proud of my melanin, my brown skin and brown eyes and big dark lips.

I'm proud of my hair, every kink and every coil, every strand and even my shrinkage.

I'm proud of the resilience of my ancestors, encoded into my DNA, infused into my spine.

I'm proud of every big thing and every little thing that makes up my blackness. I want to scream about it for the world to hear.

But then i turn on the news, i log on to social media, i open the group chat or answer the phone.

This time it's Daunte Wright, the time before it was Patrick Warren Sr., the time before was Vincent Belmonte.

It goes back before this year, last year it was Tony McDade, it was George Floyd, it was Breonna Taylor. The year before that it was Atatiana Jefferson, it was Elijah McClain, it was Sterling Higgins. Even before them was Philando Castile and before him was Alton Sterling and before him was Bettie Jones and before her was Jeremy McDole and Sandra Bland and Freddie Gray Jr. and before them was little Tamir Rice and Eric Garner and Mariam Carey and long before them there were more.

And it's enraging and terrifying and exhausting all at once because it's How Dare They and it's Who's Next? and it's Not Again, Please Not Again all rolled into one.

And I'm still proud to be black, but I'm also terrified because my blackness is a target and I'm angry because it shouldn't be and I'm exhausted because it shouldn't be but it is and nothing is changing. The system is the same and the authorities who claim to do better are the same and the people who say let's find a middle ground, we can compromise (as if there's a compromise, how do you on compromise Stop Killing Us, how could you ask us to stop begging to live, just say the truth you don't care) they're the same and it's disheartening and depressing.

But there is hope still. Hope in the Black community that comes together and rises up, no matter gow many times we get knocked down from all sides. Hope in non Black people of colour, who realised there is no model minority, that colourism exists, who have been identifying and eradicating anti-blackness in their own communities and have rallied with us. Hope in white people who have realised that they're skin colour alone is as much a privilege for them as ours is a target for us, who have unlearnt the ideals of white supremacy engrained in their heads and have denounced families and friends alike who refused to learn and see the truth, who have stood between us and the police, using their own privilege to shield us.

There is hope still, rooted in our resilience and perseverance and resistance. Rooted in our inability to stand down and stay down, in our refusal to let injustice pass by without consequence.

I am tired and I am angry and I am scared but I am also proud and hopeful and unapologetically black.

I speculate wildly on which Carolina Hurricane uses Manscaped Hair-and-Body Wash

The CANES X MANSCAPED promo showing the classic body trimmer (a solid trimmer, I have no complaints about this) and Manscaped Crop Cleanser Invigorating Hair and Body Wash (with Active pH Control). I realize this is not exactly a 3-in-1 product but I will continue to mix up the two phrases. Tragically, this does not appear to be for a new hockey-themed wash (although I have an exhaustive list of team scent suggestions if they would like to, or if anybody wants to do themed candles that don’t make me sad). I have not seen any photo evidence of these boys’ body hair situations, unless I was already interested in seeing that. I am a scientist: I can extrapolate from limited data. (It is also possible some of these aren’t Carolina Hurricanes. What do you want from me, research?) Let us begin.

Scratched:

Andrei Svechnikov: Does not shave. Wax all the way, baby.

Jordan Staal: Does not have hair. That’s a coat of Spanish moss that has been growing on him since moving to the southeast.

Competitors:

Sebastian Aho: Aho requires a strong-yet-gentle action and I believe he washes with the trusted choice for oily marine life: Dawn dish soap.

Morgan Geekie: This boy smells aggressively of Irish Spring bar soap, and only Irish Spring bar soap, all over.

Jordan Martinook: Owns a body trimmer to keep the important bits tidy as a courtesy. I don’t know what products he uses but they must smell like the Mountain Lodge Man Candle. We’re talking wool blankets and conifers. Maybe something fresh in there, lot of cedar, but maybe some juniper or cracked pepper or bergamot. The stink on this man must be fucking incredible.

Brock McGinn: Has used a 3-in-1 wash, but secretly enjoys the silkiness of Dove products and is proud of his progress since making the switch

Martin Nečas: Knows about toner. I trust him.

Jake Gardiner: Bought a Manscaped trimmer to be #prepared and polite, then realized his body hair grows so slow he uses it like twice a year.

Jake Bean: A lot of whatever glossy substance he puts on his face ends up in his hair or maybe vis versa, but it’s not a low-effort look.

Jaccob Slavin: Nah.

Ryan Dzingel: This man looks like he gets his hair washed and set every Sunday, but the lift could also be from hair and body wash

Max McCormick: McCormick looks like he knows that 3-in-1 will make his hair weird but has been forgetting to buy toiletries for years now and just coasts on all the hotel soaps he brings home

Nino Niederreiter: Does not own a body trimmer but he’s been thinking of getting one? He might be most likely to use this promotion.

Teuvo Teravainen: Does not own a body trimmer. Does ‘borrow’ someone else’s. Would use a 3-in-1 if his roommate had it but they don’t.

Brett Pesce: I am shocked this man is not already a masculine fragrance model. Looks like Manscaped’s target demo, but weirdly I feel like I’m stereotyping.

Petr Mrázek: Upgraded from Manscaped to a sleeker, more stylish trimmer ages ago. Do not touch it.

James Riemer: Farm-fresh Canadian beauty. Smells like castile soap. No.

Warren Foegele: Warren Foegele owns both these products but would never dream of putting hair-and-body wash in his hair. He washes his hair exactly twice a week to give it time to get shiny, and he is not mad that that’s the same as Brock Boeser’s routine so it’ll sound like he’s cribbing just because you didn’t ask him about his much better hair first.

Conclusion:

Dougie Hamilton: I 1000% believe Dougie Hamilton is a man who still uses hair-and-body wash on his hair and body but occasionally feels like he shouldn’t so he takes the time to order it from a somewhat hip man products company instead of buying grocery store brand. He appreciates the sleek black bottles so the half of his teammates who don’t know what’s cool would think they were cool if they saw him using them.

i think we all know that ham loved his wife very much and i don't think he really cared that much for maria but do you know how he treated women in general by any chance?

He was known to be very gallant and charming towards women, generally, and he had a particular sympathy towards women in difficult circumstances. At a dinner party in December 1795, when Hamilton moved from conversation with the other men to a “mixed assembly of both sexes,” one guest observed, “the tranquil reserve, noted at the dinner table, had given place to a social and playful manner, as though in this alone he was anxious to excel.” (William Sullivan, “The Public Men of the Revolution”, p.261.) That he was less serious and more playful in female company is reflected in a letter from Angelica Church to Eliza dated the same year: “[B]ut my dear Eliza, when you and I are with him he shall not talk politics to us. A little of his agreeable nonsense will do us more good.” (Intimate Life of Alexander Hamilton, p.164). He also respected talented and accomplished women; for example, in a letter thanking Mercy Warren for a copy of her latest book of poetry, he wrote:

It is certain that in the Ladies of Castille, the sex will find a new occasion of triumph. Not being a poet myself, I am in the less danger of feeling mortification at the idea, that in the career of dramatic composition at least, female genius in the United States has outstripped the Male. (1 July 1791).

This tendency towards gallantry was often what led him into trouble. Peggy Arnold, of course, famously duped him along with Washington and Lafayette with her performance after her husband’s betrayal. In a letter to Eliza, Hamilton described the scene:

[O]ne moment she raved; another she melted into tears; sometimes she pressed her infant to her bosom and lamented its fate occasioned by the imprudence of its father in a manner that would have pierced insensibility itself. All the sweetness of beauty, all the loveliness of innocence, all the tenderness of a wife and all the fondness of a mother showed themselves in her appearance and conduct. We have every reason to believe she was intirely unacquainted with the plan, and that her first knowlege of it was when Arnold went to tell her he must banish himself from his Country and from her forever. (25 September 1780).

Based on his account of the Reynolds Affair, Maria’s mistreatment and abandonment by her husband was what drew him into her life in the first place. You mention feeling that Hamilton disliked Maria, but even in the Reynolds Pamphlet, he sounds conflicted and confused, vacillating between surety that he’d been duped by her and her husband and the idea that she might, at one point at least, have been truly fond of him.

FFXIV Write 2019 #21: Crunch

Written for Prompt Twenty-One of @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast‘s daily writing challenge for September!

Crunch! Such an onomatopoeic word. I was stuck for a bit trying to figure out what angle to take on this one. Something involving eating, maybe? A crunch and a munch. Or perhaps one of his concerns when going Gojirafell - the destruction he could unintentionally cause.

In the end, I decided to be more broad-strokes and describe more about his combat style and priorities in general. As a crunch is a very bad sound for him to hear whether little or big!

[All FFXIV Write 2019 Pieces]

===========

One of the hallmarks of Chachan's "No-Killing Blade" - as Virara had called it - was his attempts to disable and dissuade opponents by the damage or outright destruction of their equipment. This technique was made possible almost entirely due to his intensive training as a smith, of all things. For, just as much as he could quickly and efficiently identify what needed fixing up when doing repairs, his keen eye also allowed him to identify these deficiencies mid-combat. Which meant, to his gaze, a seemingly impenetrable-looking suit of armor was a latticework of impact fractures, patch jobs, and peculiarities in construction.

In other words, a collection of weak points that could be exploited. A strike here, a pull there, and one of these flaws could be be aggravated. Apply enough pressure and stress to one or more of them, and that suit of plate could end up a pile of scrap - leaving his opponent with just the underlying padding. Or, in the case of other types of armor or even weapons, nothing at all. Which would hopefully leave the target suddenly far less willing to continue with their aggression.

There were some issues with such a tactic, of course. First and foremost, it required a degree of power and precision that was far beyond just attacking normally - especially against more agile opponents. A few ilms the wrong way, or not enough force applied, and the result would either be greatly diminished or nullified completely. And even if the pacifistic Lalafell did manage to sunder an opponent's weapons and armor, there was no guarantee that this would be enough to get them to stop. A broken weapon was still a weapon, and certainly an aggressive enough opponent might be willing to keep trying with one.

And then there was the pugilists and monks and other assorted fighters would knew hand-to-hand combat. There wasn't much that could be done to disarm them without actually seeking to fracture or break their very bones. Which was something Chachanji was wholly against doing if such a thing could be prevented. Which, of course, led to his delving into the study of pressure points through the assistance of one Berrod Armstrong. Much like the weak points he could already see in equipment, he had hoped to be able to use these natural weak points to disable and dissuade opponents who relied on no weapon or armor beyond their own body.

Of course, this approach also had its own dangers; several pressure points could be downright fatal if struck after all. Or normally "safe" ones could be far more dangerous if struck wrong. With armor and weapons, there was some degree of leeway there - something nonexistent when attacking the human body directly. This meant Chachanji required even more precision and control over the force he sought to apply in these situations. Which was difficult enough even before considering the martial skill these sorts of fighters had, skill that often outstripped his own by several degrees.

But, as one could guess, it wasn't missing the hit that worried the Lalafell the most. It was landing a hit wrong, striking the wrong spot, applying too much force. In the back of his mind, he always worried that he'd hear that sickening crunch - of metal twisted into the flesh beneath, of bones cracking under the force of his blows. It was why he started moving away from the sizable war-hammers he had originally used in a variation of the "sword and board" fighting style he had initially learned from Warren Castille. They were great for applying the necessary impact damage to completely shatter armor and weapons, but the lack of precision meant that this force could also very easily reverberated through the rest of his opponent's form and cause additional, unintended damage.

Thus, the little smith had switched to using the smaller hammers he tended to keep on his person for on-site repairs anyway, often utilizing them in his off-hand like a strange wakizashi to be the daisho pairing with his wooden bokuto. Not nearly as potent or devastating, but that was kind of the point if it: to allow him to ensure those strikes were that much more focused and directed, even if there was less overall force applied. And, by doing so, hopefully maximize the damage against the equipment while minimizing the damage to the person using them. Such that the only thing that would crunch and crumple would be weapons and armor, rather than muscle and bone.

It was still a work in progress - especially considering this had him effectively trying to dual-wield blade and hammer at times, as well as trying to make these targets strikes with his non-dominant hand when doing so - but if it would ensure the least amount of harm came to those he fought, then Chachanji was willing to make the effort.
