¿Historias cortas para no dormir y así no tener pesadillas? ¿Leopold II rey de los belgas, fue un Santo Varón?

.En 1889, a la edad de 19 años, Alice ingresó al Servicio Civil y más tarde fue nombrada para la Oficina del Contador General en Londres. Alice dio su tiempo libre al trabajo misionero de Frederick Brotherton Meyer en Regent's Park Chapel y luego en la Christ Church, en Lambeth. Alice dejó el Servicio Civil para ingresar a Doric Lodge, la Escuela de Capacitación Misionera de la RBMU, Region Beyond Missionary Union y en 1894 conoció a su futuro esposo, John Hobbis Harris. Finalmente, en 1897, después de siete años de intentos, aceptaron a Alicia para ir al Estado Libre del Congo.Poco después, Alice y John se comprometieron y se casaron el 6 de mayo de 1898. El 10 de mayo de 1898, Alice y John partieron en al Congo como misioneros con la Misión Congo-Balolo, iba a ser su luna de miel. Llegaron al Congo tres meses después, el 4 de agosto de 1898, y luego viajaron a la Estación Misionera Ikau cerca de Basankusu.

Alicia estaba consternada y entristecida por lo que presenció en el llamado Estado Libre del Congo, y comenzó a hacer campaña para que se reconocieran los derechos humanos de los nativos congoleños. Alice estuvo con su esposo John de 1898 a 1901 en la estación de la misión en Ikau. Más tarde, de 1901 a 1905, estuvieron en la estación de la misión en Baringa.

Durante su estadia en el Congo, Alice enseñó inglés a los niños locales, pero su contribución más importante fue fotografiar las heridas sufridas por los nativos congoleños a manos de los agentes y soldados del rey Leopoldo II de Bélgica. Leopold explotaba parcialmente a la población local con tal fiereza para beneficiarse de la mayor demanda de caucho después de la invención de la llanta neumática o inflable por John Boyd Dunlop en Belfast en 1887.

Los métodos de coacción incluían azotes, toma de rehenes, violación y asesinato y quema de cosechas y pueblos. La atrocidad más famosa e impactante, cuyas secuelas Harris capturó en su fotografía fue el corte de manos. En 1904, dos hombres llegaron a su misión desde una aldea atacada por milicianos de la Anglo-Belgian India Rubber Company (ABIR) después de no poder cumplir con la cuota de caucho requerida. Uno de los hombres, Nsala, sostenía un pequeño manojo de hojas que al abrirse revelaba la mano y el pie cortados de un niño. Los centinelas habían matado y mutilado a la esposa y a la hija de Nsala.

Post Alley Film Festival 2024

In the heart of the cinematic world, a beacon of empowerment illuminated the screen as the 12th Annual Post Alley Film Festival took center stage at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) Film Center on the 30th of March. Hosted by Post Alley Film Festival Founder and Director, and the President of Women in Film (WIF) Seattle, Virginia Bogert, showcased over thirty short films from over nine countries highlighting the talent, creativity, and resilience of female filmmakers.

From the moments the lights dimmed and the first film flickered on the silver screen, it was evident that this festival was not just about showcasing films; but was about amplifying voices, challenging norms, and rewriting the narrative of women in film. The lineup was an intricate tapestry of emotions, weaving together stories of strength, vulnerability, triumph, and orange cat behavior.

The films covered a wide range of topics, divided into seven distinct segments. In the first segment, "Beginnings/Ends," the focus was on the circle of life and the inevitable reality of death. Films included in this section were "Cuando te Vas," directed by Isabel Montes, "Witness," directed by Aida Tebianian, "Hangman," directed by Megan Brotherton, and "Scam," directed by Julie Sharbutt.

Moving on to the second segment, "Woman’s World," which sheds light on the daily struggles faced by women. Films featured in this category were "Made of Flesh," directed by Florence Rochat and Serena Robin, "Roses," directed by Coral Knights, "Jackie and Marilyn," directed by Hollin Haley, "Under," directed by Aloura Melissa, and "Above the Desert With No Name," directed by Sonia Sebastian.

The third segment, "Family Ties," explored the familiar challenges within families and generational trauma. Films included in this segment were "Blood Ties," directed by Emma Campbell, "Seward," directed by Debra Pralle, and "Mangata," directed by Maja Costa.

In the fourth segment, "Mothers & Daughters," the focus was on the complex and loving relationships between mothers and daughters. Films included in this category were "The Two Lives of Sepideh," directed by Soha Niasti, "Smother," directed by Lea Jeanne, and "Call Me Mommy," directed by Alea Erickson.

The fifth segment, "Coming of Age," highlighted the struggles of adolescence in a complicated world. Films featured in this segment included "Lava," directed by Carmen Jimenez, "Julie Baby," directed by Emily Groom, "Scotty’s Vag," directed by Charconne Martin-Berkowicz, "Gaps," directed by Jenn Shaw, and "Hold My Hair," directed by Rachel Taggart.

Moving on to the sixth segment, "Docs Rock," which showcased the versatility of documentary filmmaking. Films included in this segment were "The Golden Age," directed by Hannah Hamalian, "Mudlark," directed by Chezik, "Vanishing Seattle: Queer the Land," directed by Netsanet Tjirongo, and "Ape," directed by Allison Beda.

Finally, the seventh and last segment, "The Lighter Side," highlighted feel-good films. Films included in this category were "Things I’ve Made My Roommate Do. Episode 1: I’ve Parked my Car in the Friend Zone," directed by Mylissa Fitzsimmons, "Savi the Cat," directed by Netsanet Tjirongo, and "Musica Quarantena," directed by Lilian T. Mehrel.

Besides this wonderful ensemble of films, there was a profound sense of community that this film festival fosters. Each Q&A with each filmmaker provided a meaningful space for conversations and connections to thrive within the female filmmaking community.

As the final credits rolled and the lights came up, it was clear that the Post Alley Film Festival had achieved its mission of celebrating the incredible contributions of women in film. But more than that, it had ignited a spark, a spark of hope and possibility for a future where women’s voices are not just heard but celebrated and embraced. As we reflect on the moments shared and the stories told, let us carry forward the spirit of this festival and continue to champion diversity, equality, and inclusion in the world of cinema. In doing so, we not only honor the past but also pave the way for a brighter and more inclusive future for generations of female filmmakers to come.

Hey, y'all!

Complicated day around here. I was really tired most of the day, and there's a fire currently raging at the local park that's making everything around my apartment smell like smoke. Also, it makes reality look like it was put through an Instagram filter; everything seems kinda yellowish, you know? I guess we're finally looking like Latin America looks like on American movies!

Anyways, I can't change that right now, only hope that the fire brigade somehow manages to contain it, or at least stop it from spreading. Which they haven't managed to, until now... but let's hope, huh? I do love that park, it's one my favorite spots in the city, and thinking about it burning breaks my heart. All my favorite monkeys and trees...

So let's try to focus on what we can control right?

Goal number 1: Study like Wade Watts

Managed one more hour of study today. That puts me at 12/184 days of study, which is 6.52% of my goal for this year. Doing good!

I studied Socioeconomics today, and it did make me feel like I was in school! All of that stuff about migration and demographics feels like Geography classes. It was entertaining, I do love Geography and learning about Brazilian History!

Goal number 2: Fight like a Bene Gesserit

Yesterday I consumed 1660/1636 calories. Ooops, we passed a bit our deficit for the day, right? But not by a lot. It's okay. I'm allowed to not be perfect everyday, you know?

Today I stretched my lower body. It felt good, and I think my knee is hurting a little less than on the past sections. I sure hope so!

Goal number 3: the NOBA project

I was still hooked up on the "Further reading" section of the Wikipédia article about "Fake news", and found out a new book to read! It's called "Bad News: Why We Fall For Fake News" from Rob Brotherton. I had to buy it on Amazon and read it on English on my cellphone, as it wasn't translated or published in Brazil. It's been a fun reading! I'm only on the first chapter, and it already gave me some food for thought. I might start to write here about all the interesting things I've been discovering on it.

And that's it for today, guys! Good night to you all, and see you tomorrow!

Trinity Theatre Royal Tunbridge Wells Building

Trinity Theatre renovates clocktower by a famous architect into new community space

Trinity Theatre, Church Road, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN1 1JP The pigeons are being ousted and new bridges constructed as Trinity Theatre renovates its 200 year old clocktower. This architectural gem will open to the public for the very first time, just as Trinity Theatre approaches its 40th anniversary later this year.

The building still has its original clock and bell, but will b oast a newly transformed space by multi award winning architectural company Kaner Olette for the whole community to enjoy.

The clock tower will be the cornerstone of Trinity’s upcoming Heritage programme, which will uncover the building’s rich history and all the intriguing personal stories intertwined showcasing just how many memories a building can hold within its bricks and mortar.

Visitors will be able to climb the clock tower ’s new spiral staircase and discover the building’s wider history; from its origins as a creative Gothic Church designed by renowned architect Decimus Burton in the 1870s, to the community battle that saved it from demolition in the 1970s. Those attending will see the layers of history unfold into the present day theatre it has become.

Unparalleled panoramic views of Tunbridge Wells greet those that reach the top, while visitors unable to climb can enjoy digital access and an exhibition on the ground floor.

The church building is Grade II listed, designed by the celebrated architect Decimus Burton (100 1881).

A major 19th century architect, Decimus had already built major pieces like the monumental Wellington Arch, the London Coliseum and Hyde Park screen by his early twenties. He designed the layout of London Zoo, Hyde Park and Kew Gardens, and built the futuristic glasshouses at Kew Gardens.

His diverse work meant in 1905 the Architectural Review commented, the architectural historian of the distant futur e may well be excused if he formulates a theory that there were two Decimus Burtons When Decimus Burton moved to Tunbridge Wells in the late 1820s, he designed the Holy Trinity Church in the creative Gothic style, kickstarting the building’s life as the heart of the community.

Joseph “Joe” David Liebgott

The Real Joseph Liebgott:

Joseph David Liebgott was born in Lansing, Michigan in May 17, 1915 to Joseph (Josef) Liebgott Sr and Mary. Joseph Liebgott Sr was of German descent, but he was born in Beresztocz, Hungary. Joe’s mother was Yugoslavian, but was reported as born in either Yugoslavia or Hungary I am not sure which one because records show both. On his father’s side his grandparents were Yugoslavian as well. On his mother’s sider, they seem to be from Hungary. His mother immigrated in 1909, Lieb’s father immigrated in 1912.

Below is a picture believed to be his parents.

He was the oldest of his siblings. He has four sisters: Mary, Elizabeth, Anna, and Barbara, and one brother, Stephen/Steffen . Both of his parents spoke German, which would later help him during the war. His father worked in the auto industry before they moved.

His family soon moved to California around 1927 and his dad became a barber. He was the oldest of his siblings, one brother and four sisters. He was extremely protective of his younger sisters

Liebgott and his siblings attended Catholic schools. This is where learned how to box and played soccer.

After high school, Liebgott drove a taxi around San Francisco. This career was temporary and he soon attended barber college.

He was also previously married before the war. He was married in July 31, 1933 to a woman named Frances. They had one child, David Albert together on February 27, 1934. But the couple soon divorced within a year, and he was living with his family again by 1940, where he was working on a forestry project. Meanwhile his ex-wife and son moved into her family. Here is Joe and Frances:

He eventually became a barber and this was his career when he enlisted at the age of 26. Liebgott chose the paratroopers to be able to make more money to be able to put a down payment on his parents’ house.

Included is a photo of Joe and his mother

He has a Jewish service card, registered under his mother’s name. But his family denied he was Jewish, stating he was a German Roman Catholic. I’ll attach it below (filtered for safety).

In his draft card he is listed as 5 feet and 5 inches tall and was 109 pounds. He had blue-grey eyes and brown hair.

Malarkey remembers meeting Liebgott on his way to Toccoa where they became part of the original Toccoa men. Liebgott was trained under the harsh command of Herbert Sobel.

Liebgott didn’t talk much about the war, so there will be little but other’s words to put here. This is a photo from 1945 in France.

Right before the jump out of the airplane, he put his barber skills to use and gave a few of the men Mohawks.

He would jump out of the airplanes with the rest of the men on June 6, 1944. He received the bronze star for his bravery at Brecourt Manor, where he worked with Winters and several other men, Compton, Guarenere, Wynn, Lipton, Toye, Malarkey, and Ranney to destroy a German Battery firing on Utah Beach on the day of the D-Day Invasion.

He cut off the finger of a German that he had bayoneted and took the man’s ring near Carentan. At Carentan, Ed Tipper was seriously wounded after clearing out a house with Liebgott. Liebgott grabbed Tipper, yelled for a medic, and told Tipper that he’d be okay. Welsh and Lieb dragged Tipper into the street until Welsh could get him back to the aid station.

After Brecourt, Compton recalls a painful memory with Liebgott in his book, Call of Duty, Compton and Liebgott were patrolling along hedges at dusk. Across the way, in another set of hedges were two men. Both were dressed in German ponchos, one was holding a German gun. Assuming that these men were in fact German, he and Liebgott shot the men. Come to find out, when they checked their dog tags, they were not Germans. They were Americans. They had just killed fellow soldiers in friendly fire.

October 5, 1944. Winters sent a few Youmen out on patrol to take an outpost near a windmill. Liebgott and a few other men (James Alley among them) went with Sgt. Youmen. They sent one man ahead, to look out over the dike. The man spotted German machine guns. German voices approached the remaining boys. Lieb called out for the Youman, as we was trailing behind, only to have grenades thrown at him and the other men. Liebgott got minor wounds while James Alley received 32 shrapnel wounds in his left side, stretching from his face down. They’d run into a company of SS.

Liebgott was known for being rough with prisoners, the fighting that followed the injuries wit the SS company was a prime example of this. After Winters led his patrol to attack these Germans, in which during the fighting they lost William Dukeman, 7 Germans surrendered. The most famous story of Liebgott is as follows, in Dick Winter’s words.

As Winters explains in his book, “Tech/5 Joseph D. Liebgott had been slightly wounded in the arm, but he was ambulatory so I assigned him the mission of escorting seven German prisoners to the rear. Liebgott had earned the reputation of being one of Easy’s best combat soldiers, but we had all heard stories that he was very rough on prisoners. Liebgott was one of Easy Company’s “killers,” so I deemed it appropriate to take a bit of caution. When he heard me say, “Take the prisoners back to the battalion command post,” he replied. “Oh, boy! I’ll take care of them.” In his exuberance, Liebgott stood up and paced back and forth and he was obviously very nervous and concerned. I stopped him in his tracks. “There are seven prisoners and I want seven prisoners turned over to battalion.” Liebgott was highly incensed and started to throw a tantrum.Somewhat unsure of how he would react, I then dropped my M-1 to my hip, threw off my safety, and said, Liebgott, drop all your ammunition and empty your rifle.” There was much grumbling and swearing, but he did as I had ordered. “Now,” I said, “you can put one round in your rifle. If you drop a prisoner, the rest will jump you.””

Liebgott got all 7 prisoners back.

Joe would recover in a hospital in England with Webster, but he was back before Bastogne. Here is the record for that:

Name:Joseph D Liebgott Race:White, includes Mexican (White) Rank:Enlisted Man Admission Age:29 Birth Date:abt 1915 Admission Date:Oct 1944 Discharge Date:Nov 1944 Military Branch:Infantry, Parachute Troops or Units Diagnosis:FirstLocation: Ulna, generally; CausativeAgent: Artillery Shell, Fragments, Afoot or unspecified Type of Injury:Casualty, battle Injured in Line of Duty:In line of duty Type of Discharge:Duty Length of service:2 Year(s), 6 Month(s)

In Bastogne, Winters made him a runner to get away from the tension and constant stress of fighting. One story of his service was outside of Foy is the battle of Noville, he and Earl Hale ducked into a barn and took 6 SS officers prisoner. Outside the barn, a shell exploded. One of the SS officers took this as an opportunity and jumped Hale. He slit Hale’s throat. Liebgott instantly shot and killed the officer. He then killed the others. Hale survived miracuously.

At some point, before the end of the war, Liebgott became first platoon’s interpreter-radioman. This was because he could speak some German. But Webster claimed in his book that the German’s didn’t understand his Yiddish.

He was with Webster when they took Hitler’s Nest. They spent their time drinking Hitler’s alcohol together with a few other men. He was living with Headquarters Company while there.

Of course, the war came to an end and everyone who wanted to was discharged.

Over the course of the war, Lieb was injured 3 times and won 3 purple hearts. He refused one because the wound was “just a scratch”. He would receive partial disability for his wounds.

When he returned home, he disappeared for two years. Eventually he was found living in Yuma, California. He didn’t come to reunions, even when offered multiple times. His father simply told the vets “not to mess with him”.

After the war, Liebgott was a barber for a short time. He married again to a woman named Peggy in 1949. They had eight kids together. Making Lieb’s total children come to nine, although he was mostly involved with the last eight. They lived on a barber’s salary, not leaving much room for fun activities but everyone had their basic needs met. He often only had one day a week off and would take his kids to a Long Beach pike, where they would visit an amusement park.

Liebgott liked to bet on the ponies at the racetrack. Every other sunday, him and his boss would take the boss’ airplane down to Mexico.

He is believed to have never contacted anyone from his days in Easy Company. He just wanted to get away from the war.

The Liebgotts divorced in April of 1969. She remarried, but he never did. He was described as really quiet by his granddaughter.

She states, in Marcus Brotherton’s book Company of Heroes (pages 120-121) “His hands looked like a man who worked with his hands, sunspots all over. He absolutely loved his grandkids. he had false teeth that he flipped out of his mouth and smiled, threatening to kiss us with his gums. He was a tickler. He never held babies over his shoulder...because he wanted them to see everything....He didn’t have a lot of money - I’m pretty sure all he had was his veteran’s benefits...He made all of the bikes for the grandkids by scouring thrift stores for dilapidated bikes. He stripped the bikes down to their frame, fixed and assembled them as good as new. He let each grandchild pick the color of new paint for his or her bike....I always knew the specific foods we were going to eat at his house. He had bite-sized candy bars and store brand soda-pop. There was no drinking water in his house. He always lived in rental houses...”

He was very neat, and keep his house and appearance orderly. However, he was always working in the garage, so the house had black smudges from the dirt on his hands.

However, Liebgott was not perfect. While he hated the Nazis, he was also seen as a bigot, maybe even harsher. Rhonda explained that he threw the n word around like it wasn’t a big deal. He blamed the wrong goings of the world on different ethnic groups. Rhonda started seeing a guy from El Salvador, he asked if her partner “even spoke English?”

As he grew older, Lieb got sicker. He eventually lost the use of one of his legs from a hernia. He was confined to a chair and hated any new technology. He was stuck in a wheelchair, angry when he would hit a cabinet.

Lieb did not talk about his military career until towards his end. He would spend time with his son Jim, watching tv talking about the war during a war movie. He would talk about the war when he was mad, possibly angry at himself for doing a lot of killing and other things that people his age shouldn’t have to do.

In 1992, Liebgott developed a tumor in his neck, near his windpipe that would cause a lot of pain. Jim took him to the hospital on Father’s Day. Shortly later, on June 28, 1992 Liebgott died. He was against a funeral and just wanted to be cremated, so his family did as he wished. They still have his ashes and letters and the Toccoa book.

Blog post 2 – Media without Boundaries? (Goh Jie Xin) (A0199869U)

According to Morse (1991), television allows audience to transcend spatial-temporal boundaries. Morse’s statement is backed by Spigel (2015), who described how the producer’s knowledge of the audio-visual techniques can encourage time-space compression. Both authors are true to a large extent that television and modern digital media have been instrumental in shortening distances and time. However, there is a need to acknowledge that media’s ability to bridge distances is limited; I would posit that media maintains rather than bridges distances between audience.

One prime example will be zoom conference meeting. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about tremendous changes to human-human interactions; most countries restrict the number of interactions each person makes to prevent mass transmission. Zoom becomes the most readily used platform for people to maintain relationships without having physical interaction.

Ms Shermaine Chan and her husband, Yip Ching Hing, have been one of the affected groups of migrant workers that maintain their relationship through media. They would video-call their 20-month-old baby daily to make sure the young child remembers her parents amidst this coronavirus outbreak. Undoubtedly, the presence of media aided communication between individuals across boundaries. However, there is a need to understand how much the media can maintain relationships.

While it is true that media does hold the ability to connect people regardless of distance and time zone, the extent to which media can “connect” people has been rather limited as evident from empirical data. According to Brotherton (2020), media destroys rather than strengthen relationships in the case of over-reliance on media. His article revolves around the example of hikikomori (shut-in) of Japan, who was observed to exhibit signs of anxiety when asked to interact in the physical world; most of the hikikomori has a powerful virtual presence and most are active in blogs/online streaming channels. Brotherton’s (2020) experiment was conducted based on premise of the Social Presence Theory. The Social Presence Theory refers to the extent to which a medium is perceived as conveying the actual physical presence of the communicators (Short, 1997). According to the Short (1997), the use of media in communication may cause relationships to become impersonal and task orientated. The theory posits that media can only act as a “proxy” in communication and is incapable in replacing Face to Face (F2F) interactions (Short, 1997). Brotherton conducted a study on the Japanese Hikikomori to prove the validity of social presence theory. The experiment includes Japanese shut-ins that have stayed inside the house for more than 5 years. The experiment entails hikikomori being brought to a stranger inside a small room. Brotherton observed that 80% of the participants showed signs of flinching, avoidance and anxiety when exposed to the stranger (Brotherton, 2020). The research also monitors the online activity of the participants and discovered those that displayed severe avoidance tendencies were individuals that spend more than 18 hours online daily. Therefore, the ability of media to bridge distance is largely dependent on individuals’ reliance of the media. As the famous proverb says, “too much of anything is bad”, consumption of media should be kept at a healthy level to prevent over-reliance.

Certainly, with the aid of media, people can connect with one another during this time of uncertainty. However, I would posit that media could never replace F2F interaction despite media’s capability to mimic real-life interaction.

After damaging winds battered much of the Inland Empire and mountain passes on Thursday, Feb. 25, a brief respite is in store for the coming days before Santa Ana winds are projected to return later this weekend.

Early morning wind gusts caused myriad issues, including overturned semi-trucks on the Cajon Pass and downed street poles northwest of Fontana, according to Mark Moede, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in San Diego. Gusts as high as 81 mph were tallied at California State University San Bernardino’s campus.

Throughout the overnight hours until about 6 a.m., gusts ranged from 70 to 80 mph in the Inland Empire and up to 75 mph in the Santa Ana Mountains, meteorologist James Brotherton reported. As the day went on, gusts relaxed to a range of 20 to 40 mph throughout the region, Moede said.

Moede said that Friday is expected to be a “pretty nice” day, coupled with lighter winds and sunny skies.

Throughout Los Angeles County, wind gusts clocked in at 35 to 50 mph in the San Fernando Valley and reached as high as 62 mph at Porter Ranch, according to Kristen Stewart, meteorologist with NWS Los Angeles. No damages were reported throughout NWS’ Los Angeles region.

Stewart explained that the strongest winds were seen overnight and in the early morning due to the steep gradient that is created from a high pressure system over the Great Basin and a low pressure system off of the coast. She said that as the day heats up, the gradient decreases.

Moede and Stewart both project a return of the Santa Ana winds on Saturday night that will last throughout Sunday. Moede projects weaker wind gusts than Thursday, with speeds only looking to be 50 to 60 mph.

A wind-driven fire that destroyed two homes and damaged a third broke out in Bloomington early Thursday at about 12:30 a.m in the 10700 block of Tamarind Avenue. San Bernardino County Battalion Chief Mike McClintock estimated the winds at 20 mph with gusts up to 50 mph.

Another wind-driven blaze in Riverside on Thursday afternoon engulfed a parked semi-truck and damaged another vehicle and a standalone storage unit, according to the Riverside Fire Department.

In Anaheim, winds prompted the temporary closure of the mass vaccination site in the Disneyland parking lot. However, the Disneyland site is expected to reopen on Friday.

A wind advisory was in effect until 6 p.m. on Thursday for much of the San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys, Stewart said. Moede explained that most wind gusts should die off overnight into Friday for much of the region.

Friday’s temperature forecast projects a high of 78 degrees in Riverside, 76 degrees in San Bernardino, 75 degrees in Anaheim and 76 degrees in Burbank, per the NWS San Diego.

Southern California temperatures expected to climb into the 70s, maybe higher, on Monday

Wanted Connections

These are the wanted connections for Christian Brotherton. Please message me for any potential plots and connections- and if you have an idea not listed, let me know!

Friendly / Acquaintance:

Who Are You Again?: They’ve bumped into each other just about a dozen times all over the city, but they still don’t know each others’ names. The grocery store, the park, the laundromat… wait, I recognize your face- but who are you again? (0/?)

Drinks Tonight?: Christian loves to make his own cocktails in his cute little loft apartment… which means he’s always inviting people over to share. He also loves to play ‘bartender’. This is a casual friend who Christian invites over to hang out and talk, shoot the shit, drink (heavily), and watch HGTV. (0/?)

Bezzie!: These are Christian’s closest friends. Someone he trusts with his secrets, someone he can sit and text, talk to at any time, any day. This is someone Christian goes out of his way to do things for, dropping off pastries or coffee for them, and inviting them over for pizza nights. He’s had plenty of shitty nights where he’s called on this person for help. But he’s always there for them, too. (0/?)

Oh, It’s You…: They didn’t really start out on the right foot. They both liked the same guy, there was a lot of dirty looks and comments. Things turned into an argument and a text battle… but in the end, the guy was a sleazebag and there was a reconciliation, and now they meet up for sushi once a month to shoot the shit and joke around. (0/1)

Romantic / Sexual:

Sweet Nothings: He and Christian have always flirted and said little things, but nothing’s ever really came of it. They’ve texted quite a bit and they’re friends, with a weird little flirtation edge that Christian can never tell if it’s actual interest or some spontaneous fun. It can stay spontaneous fun, or turn into a fling! (0/?)

One Time At Midnight: They had a drunken hookup a few years ago, before Christian had his accident. He met someone, they had a good time, they fucked, and maybe they talk every now and then. They’re weirdly open with each other. It’s cute, it’s casual. (0/1)

Shit, Shit, Shit: Christian was a mess soon after his accident. Desperate to act like things were normal, he would’ve been trying to hook up with people again. This was a fling gone wrong about 4 years ago. Christian was embarrassed in the middle of it, his back giving out on him before anything happened. He absolutely hates how it ended but hasn’t had the nerve to text or try again, thinking he must hate him. (0/1)

Buttons & Zippers: Christian’s always at the coffeeshop and sometimes he’s sewing. A nice guy goes to the same place... and has been intrigued by Christian’s work. Christian thinks he’s a sweetheart and asks to use him as a model for some of the clothes before they’re done to see how they fit. The guy accepts and he’s been eagerly visiting Christian’s studio. Why else would he be coming, though? (0/1)

Family:

Brothers & Sisters: Christian has 12 siblings and is right smack dab in the middle. They came from a religious family in Tennessee, and Christian was disowned by his parents when he was 18. He left Tennessee to pursue a performing arts degree. But that doesn’t mean he can’t stay in touch with any of his 12 other siblings! They’re a range of ages and genders and truly you can go wild with it. (0/12)
