GREEN-EYED MONSTER
I'M FINALLY FINISHED !! This is the fic I wrote for @omegasmileyface's absolutely BOMBASTIC song, Green-Eyed Monster. She's an incredible person and an INCREDIBLE songwriter, and it was a wonderful experience to team up with them for this project.
I'm very very happy with how the fic turned out, so I hope you guys enjoy it too! I definitely recommend listening to the song before reading the fic 👀

The bit in Green-Eyed Monster when Ben gets the Sight from Mal and tries to go in the pub and the pain makes him pass out is basically Mal getting to live the chronic-pain-haver dream of being able to transfer the pain/fatigue to someone able-bodied and feel vindicated that it is real and disabling when it knocks them on their ass.

Black History Spotlight: The original movie poster for The Green-Eyed Monster
Last year, Special Collections and Archives at the University of Iowa Libraries acquired items to form a new collection: the Black Film and Television Collection. In honor of Black History Month, we’re shining a spotlight on a different item from this collection. This week, we’re taking a look at one of the collection’s earliest (and rarest) items: the original poster for the 1919 film The Green-Eyed Monster.
The Library of Congress estimates that 75% of all silent films have been lost, and that number unfortunately includes many of the first films made for Black audiences. The Green-Eyed Monster is one such film. Since we don’t have access to the movie itself, marketing materials like this poster offer a vital glimpse into a formative period of cinematic history and a history that was very nearly lost. Amid a culture of violent racism, systemic inequality, and segregation, Black artists behind and in front of the camera offered their audiences a look at the possibilities ahead.
During the era of segregation, Black audiences were already barred from most movie showings, and there were only a few movie houses open specifically for Black viewers. To see movies like The Green-Eyed Monster, they would have had to attend separate, late-night screenings called “midnight rambles.” But attend they did—there was a demand for what came to be called “race films,” and about 500 movies were released to meet it. During the daytime, theaters might show movies like the notoriously racist Birth of a Nation, but at the stroke of midnight, Black audiences could gather to appreciate Black artistry.
Where does The Green-Eyed Monster fit in?
The Green-Eyed Monster was produced by Norman Studios in Jacksonville, Florida. And while the film featured an all-Black cast, the studio that produced it was owned by a white filmmaker, Richard E. Norman, who sought to cater to an untapped audience. To make his first race film, Norman retooled the script for one of his previous films, The Wrecker, and hired Black actors for the roles. Norman Studios would go on to produce seven more feature-length films with all-Black casts, but the studio died out during the rocky transition to “talkies.”
So what exactly was The Green-Eyed Monster about? While the film itself is lost, the broad strokes of the story remain. As the title indicates, the plot revolves around jealousy, both romantic and professional. Two friends who work for rival rail companies end up falling for the same woman—and competing for the same lucrative contract. To settle both conflicts, these friends stake everything on a race on rails. Given that the poster aims to entice audiences with an “$80,000.00 train wreck,” it’s safe to assume that in this case, the track to true love is a perilous one.
While this poster and the film it advertises represent a form of progress, the most impactful works in the genre of race film were produced by Black filmmakers at Black-owned studios.
Lincoln Studios and Oscar Micheaux
In the early years of cinema, the industry wasn’t centralized in Los Angeles the way it is today, and production companies could be found in cities across the country. One such studio was Lincoln Motion Picture Company, which began in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1916 and lasted until 1921. Its founders were brothers, Noble Johnson and George Perry Johnson, and their 1916 debut was the first-ever race film, The Realization of a Negro’s Ambition. This is widely credited as the first film ever to portray the experience of middle-class Black characters. Its story is as aspirational as its title: a dreamer strikes out to make it in the oil business, excels, and returns to his family a wealthy man.
The same segregation policies that led to the phenomenon of midnight rambles made it especially difficult for a production company aimed at a Black audience to maintain its bottom line. Again, that’s not because these films lacked an interested viewership; their distribution was limited by the racist policies of the time, and so were their profits. While Lincoln was a short-lived venture, its impact can’t be overstated. By the time the studio that originated race films closed down, another Black leader had found his calling in film.
Oscar Micheaux’s Chicago studio, Micheaux Film Corporation, was one such company. Throughout his decades-long career, Micheaux produced 40 films. His features showed Black audiences a world they recognized: a place of struggle and striving, where racism was a constant reality. He also wrote Black characters they could identify with, fully human in contrast to the caricatures in white films of the time.
There are so many other stories to be found in the Black Film and Television Collection. Next week, we’ll dive deeper into Micheaux, his Midwestern connections, and the continued rise of race films in the first half of the twentieth century.

People want so badly to interpret Shakespeare as being super progressive, and MAYBE he was for his time, but I feel like people give him too much credit.
It’s ok to just call out sexism and racism when you see it instead of doing mental gymnastics to act like the 1600’s England was so much better than today somehow 🤷🏼‍♀️
It ok to just say that some old plays have sexist, racist, or anti Semitic themes. The word “Jew” is literally used as a synonym for idiot in Much Ado About Nothing.
You can just say othello is racist and Islamophobic.
You can just say merchant of Venice is anti-Semitic.
You can just say taming of the shrew is misogynistic.

gahh idk how to articulate it but there's something there at the start of green eyed monster! the cut from Voss stealing the talents from the people at the Mountain Anchor and then jumping to Ben working hard to try teach Mal how to do summons. Ben trying hard to pass on something he has the passion but not the talent for to Mal who has the talent but not the passion. Wolfe's got the talent and the passion (in other areas, not magic). Voss doesn't have either in any area. I made a graph and realised I don't have anything to say about it I guess it's just a picture version of what i was just saying.
Tumblr media
But like anyway the original point. the contrast between the traumatic violent way Voss steals the talents immediately compared to the domestic scene (yes they're bickering but I feel like Wolfe just chilling and rolling his eyes while smiling frames this as a fairly happy scene still) where Mal learning Ben's skill wouldn't take away from Ben and would actually help the group. But also Ben isn't able to force Mal to learn his way, we see at the end of Sea Change Mal is only more receptive to Nyree's different style of teaching. Idk something something people with skills set up in competiton with each other (especially Voss and Wolfe being in the explicitly competitve environment of the army) vs teaching friends/family skills to better everyone. I'm so tired.

Green-eyed
Maybe it's inherently with me
I do have hazel eyes afterall
Minor flashes up until this point
But I wonder if the color will stay now?
I hated that it crept up
Making me seethe and curse
Knowing you're with him!
I wish you were with me instead
Though you say it's nothing
Seems like a whole lot of something to me
This feeling makes my skin crawl
And I hate that I want to ask questions
Yet I feel that I have no right
What are we anyways?
My feelings are known,
so where does that lead us?
Wishing distance was not a factor
But you made mention and I
caught on, making me see red
While I myself turned blue, with hurt
And my eyes seem to glow
a sickening shade of green
