saw your post on tgs tag. post your essay. i like tgs but i hate the fandom most of the time since they treat it the way christians treat the bible so

Thank you dear anon. You give me hope.

"OMG it's like J/H but finally woke", like no it's a white feminism level reading of Jekyll and Hyde and Jekyde bait. I just pray the ending is good. Literally all the characters deserve better.

Ask and you shall recieve: The essay with fanfic promo

TGS deserved better

Rachel deserves better than to serve every man she comes across (or falls for)

Virginia deserves better than to be a trans lesbian who pines for a gf and never does any alchemy besides help Jasper

Jasper deserves better than being a transmasc punching bag and deserves an anger arc and more creature scenes

Jekyll deserves a heart to heart and a man who actually loves him. Also he can't hide (hardy har har) behind internalized homophobia for all his problems

Lanyon deserves a writer than can decide to make either a villain or a love interest but not sexy bad boy who keeps breaking our MC's heart till the end. Cotungo also helped popularize the "Lanyon/Utterson is just jealous of Hyde" trope and I hate them for it.

Hyde could stand to be scarier and a whole lot smarter (you know like Stevenson intended, Hyde is smart. The simian brute is scary because he's smart and that doesn't just scare victorians, it scares us today) and also why do the fuck doesn't he share memories with Jekyll if Cotungo claims he DOESN'T have DID?*

The age lift doesn't work at all

De-aging the characters never really worked for me. Why transform from 35 to 25? Also Hyde looks way too old to pass as Jekyll's son son but everyone believes that?! Also the fears of aging and dying alone and losing childhood friends is completely erased. To me Utterson staring at the grave of one friend and the corpse and will of another reminds me of my grandfather saying "after you lose your childhood friends, it's never the same no matter what new ones you make"** Here Jekyll's friendship with Jasper and Lanyon seem almost interchangeable down the romantic subtext.

Queerer than Fiction / Utterson and Harker-verse/Lambs to the Slaughter/Zone trilogy/Jekyll Saga

Queerer than Fiction: I legit re-wrote some of my interactions between Jekyll and his apprentice after reading "sad people dance too"

In Queerer than Fiction my OC Svetlana finds out the truth about Jekyll and Hyde and recreates the potion. Originally this was a gender-bent Henrietta Jekyll who left for America. This didn't work and I created Svetlana Raskaynaya and her alter ego Ellis Gage***.

This freed up the original Jekyll to interact with Svetlana. His care is that to a patient and then an acquaintance and he is neutral to positive about her gnc ness. Sveta never gets to come out to him because he dies and there is a fear of hers that he wouldn't accept them as Ellis Gage. If you read my other works you'd know he wouldn't but the tragedy of not knowing is what this story is about.

Utterson and Harker: We pause our monster of the week detective stories for a brief story of grief and acceptance

Utterson and Harker is the crossover nobody will write The Harker family and Gabriel Utterson (assisted by his clerk Mr Aloysius Guest). In a dark story where Utterson dies, Guest has to assume his mentor's role and finish finding out what happened to Svetlana.He arrives to end Gage and prevent another Edward Hyde, he ends up legitimizing Ellis Gage instead.

When Mr. Guest comes to investigate whether Svetlana has Jekyll's formula which legally belongs to Gabriel Utterson, they bond over their respective second names (Ms. Ilysa Outguess, Mx. Ellis Gage) are of a different gender than theirs and being nerds.

Utterson who is canonically accepting of eccentricity finds Gage disturbing for the wall climbing, calledisclopic shifting pigmentation, and penchant for petty crime and yes recreating his best friends worst project. But the androgyny that's fine go knock yourself out.

Lambs to the Slaughter: What if Silence of the lambs but with Gothic Lit characters and not transphobic?

While some people are convinced that canon Jekyll is trans and call all those who disagree transphobic and lacking imagination I don't personally write him as such. I have no problem with such views. My friend's oc Possum is a rp blog here and it feels one of the most accurate takes on Hyde I've seen in awhile. This friend is why I am on tumblr in the first place and I post asks there every other day. All versions of his Jekyll are trans men.

I have only one story with such a premise the steampunk silence of the lambs story. The premise is that are Lucy is murdered by the Phantom of the Opera, Mina embarks on a quest of revenge which brings her behind the only man who can catch this monster, Dr. Henry Jekyll. The only problem is the man is currently serving a life sentence under the name of Edward Hyde.

It will include the following reveal:

Hyde (our Hannibal Lecter) : Based on the first two murders younger me would have been his type

Mina Harker (our Clarice Starling): But Eric only kills women...

Hyde: What do you think young Henri Jekyll was back in the day?

Mina: well then...

Also

the little girl from chapter 1 comes out as well and when he asks Hyde for a good boy's name he suggests "Henry" since Hyde isn't using anymore.

Zone trilogy: Dark satire that might be too harsh

The Zone trilogy is a series of hand-drawn comics that follow the misadventures of two children of Jekyll/Hyde and many other pop-culture characters.

Basic plot of the abyss

Edie Hyde is the daughter Edward Hyde only. Or so her father Dr. Jekyll insists. He also insists that the two alchemists living in one of his estates aren't his beneficiaries but still sends them money. He denies ever meeting Gabriel Utterson, despite Gabrielle Anna being Edie's mother. Hastings Jekyll lost his father young and was raised by his mother. When Edie dragged him into her world he is delighted to meet a version of his father but is disappointed to see he is a cold-hearted hypocritical bigot. He is drawn in the same color scheme as TGS Jekyll and his treatment of not-Jasper, Helio Lockhart, cements that saying "No one will ever believe you, they just play along" does not acceptance make. I'm sure I'll get death threats for posting that comic

Jekyll Saga: What if Jekyll had children and they all had the two body thing.

This was actually written as monster high fanfiction but I soon realized that I could actually like sell this. Currently Henry Jekyll's story is partially out and I'm editing my story about Ash and Jenny which is basically a dark highschool rom com. Hastings' story will be a spy thriller and Gabrielle Mina's story might not be out for years due to lack of material. Dorian's stories will be out as soon as I edit them.

In my penultimate and final Jekyll saga stories I explore the lives of Ash Burns and Harland Jekyll/ Harley Hyde. Both are trans and explore this in different ways when Ash (and later their child Dorian) asks the ghost of Edward Hyde what he thinks of their transition he is mostly positive.

Follow me for more trash fires like this.

Notes

*I have OSSDD-1 (formerly 1b) and my handwriting is the same for all parts, DID people often have different handwriting for each alter. Jekyll is likely higher up the scale than I am so he outnought exhibit hollywood did symptoms. Laugh all you want in 50 years handwriting tests will be called the Sheridan Tests and it will help determine severity of a Dissociative Disorder.

** This line will surely out my alter ego when she mentions this as herself years later if I become famous.

***Gage is named after Phineas Gage who through losing a quarter of his brain changed for the worse (in victorian terms, swearing and lying as well as loss of math skills) but recovered and lived 12 years many of which were relatively fulfilling. He apparently became a completely different person after the accident. Gage was no longer Gage, said friends.

Um, I’ve forgotten, but I want to know what was Clive real name or last name or something… I’ve been trying to get the scene again where I learn about it but I can’t anymore so I’d like to know again

Clive's real name is Clive :) further under the cut with book 1 spoilers

His last name is Finley.

As a child, he had an alter ego named Jasper Finley, named after the man who died in the original Project NMCI.

And Xani's father, Gray, has a bad memory and repeatedly calls him Ceaton.

But at the end of the day, he was born Clive Finley and remains Clive Finley!

I know I asked you for a matchup before, but I like your writing too much. I'd like a matchup for myself this time for either Obey Me or Court of Darkness (I don't want to be paired with Guy or Jasper lmao)

Appearance: I am a 165 cm tall, average build, South Asian woman. I have wavy black hair that reaches my shoulders and I usually dress in South Asian attire, usually salwar-kameez. I also wear glasses. I don't really feel comfortable going out without them 😅

My MBTI and enneagram: INTJ 5w4

Star sign: Sagittarius sun, Virgo moon and rising

Sexuality: demiromantic asexual

Personality: I'm pretty calm, collected and hard-working for the most part. People say I'm intelligent, quiet, and polite. I can be sarcastic at times, although people often say it's hard to tell when I'm being sarcastic. I'm probably the most emotional unemotional person I know. I don't really show a whole lot of facial expressions, but I do feel things more deeply than people give me credit for. I also tend to get overwhelmed easily, especially when I'm in really noisy places for prolonged periods of time (RIP ADHD and Autism). When people get to know me, they say that I'm a good listener and that they feel safe to speak their mind to me. I also have a tendency to overestimate my own capacity to do work, so I often bite off more than I can chew and end up burnt out. I do this because most of the time, I can do a lot of things efficiently without breaking a sweat. Regardless, I still finish what I set out to do.

My favourite hobbies include reading, playing video games, listening to classical and lofi hip-hop, and making art. I especially like to draw and paint things that radiate a sense of comfort, nostalgia and serenity. Someone also told me that my artworks also hold a sort of innocence in the composition of the shapes, colours and the overall vibe of what I draw/paint.

Also, I kin Mishiro Usui from Blank Dream and Es from Alter Ego

I hope this is enough information for a matchup. Thanks for taking the time to read this

Hello! Thank you for the request and I am finally getting around to trying and finishing these up at long last. I hope that you enjoy reading!

Note: The match-ups are a little shorter for right now as I still have about 45 more of these I have to answer that have been sitting in the inbox and I feel so bad for having them all sit for so long. So much has happened in these last several months that I've just been on the brink of exhaustion at all times. Also, if the formating is weird, I'm typing this on a computer cause my phone be struggling lately.

TW: None

I match you with..........

Lynt Akedia

This sleepy prince absolutely loves it if you decide to read to him, though the chances are that he will actually find himself dozing off to the sound of your voice, more invested in listening to you at this point than to the story. Chances are, he has already read it, he just loves to listen to you talk.

Sometimes he is a bit lost as to just how hard-working you are, given he is a bit more of the opposite, but he finds this trait of yours to be rather endearing and it is something he admires about you. It's not all the time that he sees people such as yourself. I makes him smile.

As the resident peacekeeper between the many princes given how much he does not like conflict, seeing you start to grow more on edge as certain conflicts arise, this is where you will see him trying harder for you to try and get things resolved as quickly and as smoothly as possible. It's one of the ways that he shows how he cares.

Given how you are able to see how others are around you, how they feel and such, you just know when Lynt is not feeling his best, especially if you've found him alone and reading one of the books from his grandfather, or asleep, or even asleep while holding said book. He never really conveyed just how much he felt all that much with others, but you are someone who understands him, who will actually listen to what it is that he has to say, and he is thankful for that trait of yours each and every day.

As a prince, he does not really have any issues financially, so if he sees that there are certain paints or any other art supplies you are in low stock of, he makes sure to get them just for you. There's no need to thank him, the smile on your face and the shine in your eyes when he gives them to you is payment enough.

Overall, the sleepy prince knows he can just relax around you, that you are there for him if he needs to actually get something off of his chest instead of just sleeping it away. Such things have certainly improved several aspects of his life, and he could never thank you enough for just being there for him.

Cruella (2021)

Directed by Craig Gillespie, this movie is a live-action prequel to the 1961 animated Walt Disney film One Hundred and One Dalmatians (and the 1996 live-action retelling), starring Emma Stone in the titular role.

Other stars of the film include: Emma Thompson, Paul Walter Hauser, Joel Fry and Mark Strong. The canine stars include: a mutt named Buddy, a chihuahua named Wink and a trio of Dalmatians.

The movie is an origin story/reimagining of the life of an aspiring fashion designer named Estella, who develops a nefarious ego by the name of Cruella. The film is also focused on the rivalry between her and highly esteemed fashion tycoon Baroness von Hellman (Emma Thompson) as well as her association with thieves Jasper (Joel Fry) and Horace (Paul Walter Hauser).

This particular film has two Emmas that are unbelievably enthralling. Emma Stone is both superb as Estella and extravagant as Cruella. She plays the two sides of her character in a way that’s irresistibly exciting to watch. What’s more, in terms of character development, Stone’s version of Cruella (though still a wicked genius) is more human as a calm, reserved person, unlike the shrieking, maniacal villain of the original story. At the same time, Estella’s ambitions are somewhat similar to Abigail Hill in The Favourite. Emma Thompson is incredibly brilliant as head of the fashion industry whose narcissistic behavior is somewhat reminiscent to Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada. She even plays a central role in Estella’s transformation into Cruella. Together, Stone and Thompson fasten their horns for a two-woman show (as opposed to a one-woman show) where their characters engage in an artistic competition to become fashion legends. Even Paul Walter Hauser (who speaks in a Cockney accent) is quite hilarious as Horace tries to figure out “the angle” of Estella’s main purpose in life.

As for the dogs, they each have a trait equivalent to the personality of each owner. Buddy, a stray adopted by Estella, assists her daily activities. He is also proof that Cruella isn’t a dog killer (as many people assume). Wink is the pickpocket of the group as he can easily steal wallets to help Estella, Horace and Jasper finance their self-made business. The Dalmatians not only harken back to the animated movie, but as the Baroness’ pets, they are expressive (through CGI) as they are pretty vicious around strangers, hence Cruella’s strange fascination of them. On that note, a few references to the animated movie are shown. One example is Horace watching dog owners who appear to resemble their dogs. Hint: keep an eye out for some more in a mid-credits scene.

Although Disney has been relying on a specific number of visuals for each live-action remake, this one revolves mostly around the costumes. The story begins with Estella born in the signature black-and-white hair of Cruella. As she matures, she dyes her hair red to conceal her identity while dressed in cool punk outfits. When Emma Stone is first seen as Cruella, she is literally black, white and red all over. As Cruella begins to take over, Estella wears flamboyant clothing as a symbol of the fiercely provocative artistry of her alter ego. She’d even use her Cruella persona to upstage the Baroness at every fashion show, gaining notoriety from her childhood friend Anita Darling, a gossip columnist. The Baroness wears divine attire (especially Dior) as a symbol of dominance and establishment. Her hair is done in numerous styles as well. The overall design of each clothing won the film an Oscar for Best Costume Design.

The story takes place in 1970s London during the punk rock movement. Every background reflects the delinquent lifestyle of Cruella in terms of culture. The setting even represents the cutthroat environment of Estella’s upbringing (which director Craig Gillespie included in a previous directorial project known as I, Tonya). She was originally the subject of ridicule, pushing her to total madness, before she finds herself orphaned as a child. She then turns to a life of crime with Jasper and Horace, becoming an expert in grifting. Her fashion skills not only help her survive, but she is able to thrive. When Estella is hired to work for the Baroness, who runs a glamorous yet intimidating business, she plays the role of devoted employee while concocting different schemes to take down her boss/rival.

The soundtrack contains a collection of hit songs from both the ‘60s and ‘70s. The track list includes: “Whisper, Whisper” by The Bee Gees, “She’s a Rainbow” by The Rolling Stones, “Five to One” by The Doors, “Feeling Good” by Nina Simone, ��Fire” by Ohio Players, “Stone Cold Crazy” by Queen, “Car Wash” by Rose Royce, “One Way or Another” by Blondie and “Should I Stay or Should I Go” (an ‘80s song) by The Clash, to name a few. Cover versions of Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love”, “I Wanna Be Your Dog”, Nat “King” Cole’s “Smile” and “Come Together” are heard, too. In addition, an original song titled “Call Me Cruella” by Florence and the Machine is featured.

Finally, the real meaning of the film is to observe the iconic Cruella from a different perspective to really understand the story of her fabulous, outrageous life. Without a single doubt, I highly recommend this appealing, madly entertaining movie to every Emma Stone/Cruella de Vil fan.

Fashion and Flames Chapter 2: Sabotages- Jasper Badun x OC

Jasper Badun x Angela Young

Description: As Angela continues helping Cruella, she finds herself becoming closer to Jasper (and not just because she now does their laundry as well). One night she finds herself being invited to a sabotaging of the Baroness’ newest fashion line debut by him.

Word Count: 1.9k

Things had been rather hectic since Angela and Artie agreed to work for Cruella, who as it turns out was Estella’s alter ego that she created to get back at the Baroness. It was quite the ordeal for Cruella to explain to the duo, one could imagine their confusion. Nevertheless, they continued to help her design and make outfits to crash every single one of the Baroness’ shows without delay between working at the shop.

Angela noticed the mess that had begun accumulating in the living area of Cruella’s warehouse not long after they began helping her. It didn’t take her long to realize it was because the guys had been helping out with the technical side of the stunts. That meant that they didn’t have a lot of time before they became tired and went to bed. Laundry was beginning to pile up and dishes littered almost every space in the kitchen. Considering Angela quite literally had no life outside of work, she figured that she would help pick up the slack.

“Guys, come put your laundry up,” she called softly, setting the newly emptied laundry basket to the side. Jasper and Horace, who were both resting before another stunt for Cruella, both perked up from their respective beds. Jasper was the first one to appear at her side considering his hammock hung in the kitchen where she was.

“Thanks Angela,” he muttered gratefully, taking the folded clothes that sat on the table and moving to put them away. Horace wasn’t far behind him in grabbing the clothes.

“Thanks Angie,” he said, much louder than his brother. Angela, who had gotten used to his abrupt booming voice, only grinned and shook her head.

“I better not see you unfold your clothes to fit it in your drawer again Horace.” She pointed a warning finger at the man, but he just waved her off and moved to his small dresser, no doubt doing the exact opposite of what she said.

“I thought you were working on Cruella’s dress for tonight,” Jasper mentioned, hopping up into his hammock again. “What are you doing, doing our laundry?”

“Procrastinating,” Angela responded without hesitation. That made the man laugh, which in turn caused a smile to slip onto her face.

“I’m kidding,” she added, beginning to wipe off the table. “I finished early and got bored. I figured I could make myself useful around here.” Jasper nodded, swinging his legs over the side of the hammock so he was sitting up.

“Are you going tonight?” He inquired. Angela offered him a shrug.

“I wasn’t invited,” she responded simply. She leaned against the table as he shot her a kind smile.

“Well, this is my invitation to you then. You could ride in the truck with me,” he suggested, which lifted Angela’s spirits a bit.

“I would love to,” she stated, crossing her arms comfortably.

“Groovy,” he said a little too enthusiastically before catching himself and shooting her an awkward grin. “We...uh, we leave at 6:00 to get the truck.” She nodded, saying that she understood shortly before the lift arrived on their floor. They looked over in unison as Cruella opened the gate and walked in.

“Hello darlings, I hope everything has been going to plan,” she greeted broadly. “Angela, is the dress ready? You redid the hems on the connecting fabrics?” The girl in question nodded dutifully and stood up.

“Yep, everything is downstairs for when you get ready.” The woman nodded before looking at Horace.

“Has the necklace come out yet?” She inquired impatiently, huffing dramatically when Horace shook his head.

“Nothing yet,” he responded. Cruella rolled her eyes, mumbling an insult under her breath as she faced Jasper.

“And the truck?”

“It’ll be here,” he answered simply.

“On time?” Cruella shot him a pointed look, which made the man roll his eyes.

“Of course,” he said as if it were obvious. Angela could instantly sense the tension as it entered the room, and decided to diffuse it.

“Hey Cruella, while you’re here, do you mind putting your laundry up?” She inquired, gesturing to the last pile of clothes on the table. “It just gets rid of the clutter around here.” The woman hummed thoughtfully then shook her head, beginning to walk back to the lift.

“I’m afraid not darling, I have a lot to do before the show tonight. I trust that you can put them up though,” she paused as she stepped into the lift, closed the gate and pressed the down button before shooting her a smile. “Ta-ta Angie.” She gave the girl a finger wave as the lift began descending, leaving Angela to watch her in disbelief.

“Okay then,” she muttered defeatedly, picking up the clothes.

“Hey, hey, hey. No,” Jasper said quickly, hopping down. “It’s her clothes, she should be the one to put them up.” His hand went to one of her wrists and gripped it gently in an effort to stop her, but she moved away.

“Jasper, she’s obviously not going to do it,” she shot back, walking over to Cruella’s dresser. “I don’t want clutter around here and I’m sure you don’t either.” The man sighed, but shook his head as he took a seat at the table.

“She didn’t even thank you,” he muttered bitterly. “I can deal with it if she doesn’t thank me or Horace, even though she should, but it isn’t fair to you. You’re not getting paid for any of this, you’re just doing this to be nice and she doesn’t even care.” As he talked, Angela put the clothes up and walked back over to him. She offered him a kind smile as she sat beside him.

“That’s very sweet, but you don’t have to be angry on my behalf,” she said softly, resting her hand over his. The man blushed at the contact, but brushed it off with a sigh.

“I’m just getting a little tired of Cruella’s attitude,” he admitted in the same tone as before.

“I get that,” Angela responded simply. “But sometimes you’ve just gotta grit and bear it for a little bit then it’ll be over.” Jasper didn’t look convinced, so she continued. “You know, you can always talk to me if you need to rant to someone. I don’t really have a life outside of this, so I’m free quite often.” That made the man chuckle, and he nodded.

“That’s good to know, thanks Angie.” Angela couldn’t help but grin. That was probably the first time he’d ever used a nickname on her.

“Well, now that that’s sorted, I should probably get ready for our little performance tonight.” The man watched as she patted his hand then stood.

“Okay,” was all he could muster as he watched her grab her bag and say a goodbye to Horace. Angela waved to Jasper as she walked to the lift and his eyes stayed on her as she disappeared out of sight.

Just a few hours later, Cruella was in her latest creation and she was in the back of the (what Angela hoped wasn’t stolen) garbage truck with Jasper driving and Angela in the passenger seat. Jasper allowed the radio to play faintly as they drove, and he couldn’t stop the small smile that slipped onto his face when he noticed the girl’s head nod along to it.

“You’re very quiet tonight,” she mentioned after the song ended, which made him glance at her for just a moment before looking at the road again.

“Don’t have much to say,” he shrugged simply.

“Any reason why?” She pushed, moving so she could face him. He didn’t answer at first, seemingly debating on what to say.

“You don’t have to answer,” Angela added quickly. “We just have some time to kill.” The man nodded then shot her a small grin before sighing.

“It’s Cruella again. She and I got into a small fight before we picked you up and I’m just thinking about it,” he explained.

“Do you want to talk about it?” She inquired softly, offering him a sympathetic smile. Jasper shook his head though.

“Not really. I just want to forget it,” he responded.

“Fair enough,” the girl shrugged. “Just know you can talk to me if you want.” Jasper offered her a thank you in response shortly before the girl perked up.

“There it is,” she called softly, which made the man beside her slow the truck down. They had finally reached the Baroness’ newest show. The woman herself was outside in front of the photographers, drinking what looked like champagne and posing for the cameras. A mischievous smile appeared on her face and she looked at Jasper.

“Ready to take out the trash?” That made the man smile as he stopped in the middle of the road and began to back up towards the building.

“Did you come up with that one by yourself?” He teased, which made her roll her eyes playfully.

“Come on, you’ve gotta admit that was a good one,” she responded defensively. Jasper shrugged as they stopped the truck.

“Can I do it?” She asked eagerly.

“Go for it.” He gestured to the button that would drop the trunk of the vehicle, and Angela smiled brightly as she pressed it unceremoniously. They could hear several gasps as what looked to be a huge pile of fabric fell out. Angela looked in the side mirror as Cruella popped up from the mass and cameras began flashing at her. The woman smirked and stepped onto the small step at the back of the truck, hitting it twice as a signal to Jasper to start driving forward, which he did.

“That was very exciting,” Angela commented as they continued to drive down the street, watching the tail of Cruella’s dress flow behind it.

“It isn’t any different than the other sabotages we’ve done,” Jasper pointed out with an amused grin.

“Still,” she shrugged. “It’s fun being a part of something like this, for the most part at least. I don’t really like how she treats us sometimes.”

“You and me both,” the man grumbled, slowing down a bit so that Cruella could safely climb back inside the trunk.

“Hopefully it’ll blow over soon though,” she added optimistically.

“Hopefully,” Jasper repeated. After a few minutes of silence, they arrived at Angela’s house. The girl shot him a small smile before hopping out. She was surprised when Jasper also got out, walking her to her door.

“Thanks for inviting me tonight Jasper,” she muttered shyly as they stopped in front of the door. “I had a lot of fun.”

“Thanks for keeping me company,” he shot back, resting his hands in his pockets. They stood in silence for a moment, neither really knowing what to say. Angela noticed him begin to open his mouth to say something, but was cut off by a horn honking behind them, which nearly made them jump out of their skin.

“Come on Jasper,” Cruella called from the window. “This dress is heavy to wear.” Neither of them even realized that she had climbed into the front seat, but neither really cared. Jasper waved to Cruella then faced the girl with an apologetic smile.

“Sorry about her,” he muttered embarrassedly, but Angela just shrugged it off.

“Don’t worry about it,” she paused and, in a moment of bravery, leaned up to press a kiss to his cheek. “See you tomorrow Jasper.” A light blush dusted her cheeks as she unlocked the door and began stepping inside.

“G’night Angela,” the man muttered shyly. She gave him a small wave before closing the door, a bright smile etched into her face. Little did she know that Jasper had the exact same smile on the other side of the door.

Hey, are you doing alright? I saw your posts in the Khonjin House tag and as someone who was a fan back in 2017, witnessed his behavior and watched the fanbase of then collectively clear out for it it's... god. He hasn't changed in the slightest. He's always been an egomaniacal prick. I'm so sorry to hear you've dealt with him first hand. He had a channel on his Discord where he'd publicly tear apart people in 'debate' for sport...

Thank you for speaking up about him. He wipes his socials like clockwork and it leaves others unaware of how wretched he is. I hope you're doing better now. Take care.

Yes I remember that bit, too. What he does is when he's upset, he will change that energy into political debate instead of addressing the actual issue in his life. I had heard that he was in a separate server and annoyed the fuck out of everyone for constantly asking for a politics channel whenever he was upset about anything.

Well even when he wipes his socials, he can't help himself from using doublespeak and plausible deniability. The man cannot speak straight. He'll say something oddly specific but point it out and he'll say you have an ego if you think it's about you. Let me give you an example. (Important context, of course: I was a patron of his for 2 years)

I censored all names and profile pics just to make sure I get around any Twitter harassment policies, but clown emoji is our boy.

A few people flabbergasted by his behavior have sent me a few of his tweets in disbelief whenever I was off doing my own thing venting about his terrible behavior. And I would see added context and implications like this that they did not. They would always think, "surely there could be no extra context which makes this especially irritating to Jasper" but there always would be. I have him blocked but all that does is make sure he doesn't directly interact with me while he has however many followers he's got now.

I'm working my tail off constantly ngl. Things have been rough. I can only hope it will be easier to continue with my life when I get my own place by myself. I'd say "move on" but that doesn't apply. I'll never not care about what happened to me as it fundamentally altered the trajectory of my life and infects my thoughts and my nightmares, and I refuse to judge myself for that. I just hope it'll pop up in my mind less once things improve.

I always appreciate a reassurance that I'm doing the right thing. He's hurt countless others but in such a way that they're too exhausted to even address it anymore. That's the only reason he still has a platform. And a bunch of enablers like above.

JASPER KRABBÉ LEGT MOMENTEN VOOR DE EEUWIGHEID VAST

In "Super Saturation" lijkt Jasper Krabbé in de voetsporen van zijn alter-ego JAZ te treden. Zo zoals hij aan het begin van zijn carrière als kunstenaar deed, schrijven van graffiti op Amsterdamse muren en schuttingen. Het beste vlak zoeken en mee te bewegen met de structuur van hout en steen. Die streetdance om de schildering het best tot uiting te laten komen neemt hij later mee zijn atelier in, wanneer hij academisch is opgeleid en afgestudeerd als schilder en graficus. Nu zoekt hij weer die juiste ondergrond waarop zijn snelle verfschetsen het meest goed tot recht komen. Dat is dan oud gebruikt linnen of tweedehands karton in plaats van beton en baksteen. De stroken textiel stikt hij aan elkaar en de platen hard papier plakt hij tot collage. Het is de drager, de ondergrond om daarop zijn pieces te zetten.

Vastleggen van ervaringen en herinneringen die hij opdeed langs straten en pleinen, voordat ze vervagen en wegzakken in vergetelheid. Mensen die voor hem belangrijk zijn, levende helden of zij die al uit de tijd gingen. In snelle lijnen en trage vlakken legt hij deze momenten van de tijd in de tijd vast. In verzadigde kleuren om de herinnering zuiver te houden. Het denken aan het moment of de figuur moet zo duidelijk mogelijk worden neergezet, maar raakt toch beneveld door de voortgaande tijd. Het staat niet allemaal meer zo duidelijk op het netvlies. De realiteit raakt abstract, voor de maker meer duidelijk dan voor de kijker.

Krabbé heeft een snelle hand van werken. In grote halen lijkt hij vroeg thuis te willen zijn. Ook dat is terug te rekenen op het tekenen aan straatmeubilair. Over het algemeen is die actie niet legaal en dient de schilder in de illegaliteit snel te werken om niet betrapt en ingerekend te worden. Een stuk moet in kort tijdsbestek tot een afronding komen. Maar al te vaak wordt de maker daarbij gestoord in het proces.

Dat verleden van gejaagd moeten werken tekent zich nog duidelijk af in de stijl van Jasper Krabbé. Vooral de straatscènes waarbij hij scherp de situatie beschouwt en in het meest sprekende moment de essentie pikt en opzet. Snelle schetsen met potlood om het moment vast te houden, haastig ingekleurd met kleurpotlood om de sfeer vast te leggen. De kladjes die later in het atelier met verf op doek worden uitgewerkt. De scherpe blik neemt waar, maar mist een fotografisch geheugen zodat de schets als ijkpunt dient. Met dit vastgelegde punt van herinnering kan Krabbé dan thuis aan de slag. Het resultaat heeft de sfeer van het moment behouden, omdat het schetsmatige karakter van de eerste opzet in de uitwerking is gebleven. De rumoer van het leven op straat is te vinden in de vlekken kleur en de onduidelijke gestalten. De mensen die je in het voorbijgaan ontmoet beklijven niet, maar vervagen in de tijd.

Wanneer Krabbé dan voor hem bekende mensen in verf wil vastleggen neemt hij meer de tijd zich te realiseren. Hij beschouwt de figuur nauwlettend om het karakter te pakken. Maar nog altijd verwezenlijkt in de gauwigheid lijkt het. In een enkelvoudige lijnvoering spreekt hij meervoudig aan. Een gezicht heeft niet zoveel nodig om de aard van de mens vast te leggen. Al snel is de unieke persoonlijkheid in enkele rake lijnen en vlakken te herkennen. Bovenal is Jasper Krabbé een begenadigd portrettist. Hij weet in essentie de eigenheid te pakken en vast te leggen. Door te dringen tot het onzichtbare wezen achter het zichtbare uiterlijk. De transparante mens.

De tentoonstelling in Slot Zeist toont een overzicht van Krabbés meest recente verslaglegging. Het heeft de titel "Super Saturation" gekregen. Vrij vertaald is dat een hoge graad van verzadiging, dus schilderijen verwerkt in de meest zuivere kleuren. Maar vooral in het meest zuivere moment van de herinnering. Die onzekere verstandelijke tel die in tastbare vorm zeker is en blijft. De situaties vervliegen in de tijd, maar op papier en doek liggen deze vast voor eeuwig, onbesmet. Wel in de vormgeving van de gedachte aan die ongrijpbare tel, waardoor de situatie vereenvoudigd is weergegeven. Het vastleggen op gebruikt materiaal geeft nog beter het benutte moment weer. De tijd is gebruikt voor die handeling en door die mens. Het beeld daarvan is dus eigenlijk tweedehands op versleten doek en oud papier.

"Super Saturation" is ook de titel van de publicatie die als catalogus ter gelegenheid van de tentoonstelling is verschenen. Daarin zijn de werken opgenomen die in Slot Zeist live te zien zijn. Het boek heeft een voorwoord van de kunstenaar zelf en een essay van de hand van Ralph Keuning. Hij memoreert zijn eerste ontmoeting met Krabbé en zijn werk in het atelier. Niet lang daarna zet Keuning een overzichtstentoonstelling van dat werk op in Museum de Fundatie. De kunsthistoricus roemt de kunstenaar om zijn originaliteit. Het werken op oude lappen textiel, verkleurd en met naden, in een expressionistische stijl ziet hij als kunst voor de eeuwigheid, "alsof je naar beschilderde grotwanden van de prehistorische mens kijkt". De geportretteerden van Jasper Krabbé krijgen het doorleefde karakter van de drager mee, merkt Keuning verder op. Er gebeurt iets wonderlijks. "In de strakke gezichten van krachtige jonge mensen dienen zich de rimpels van de sterfelijkheid onder het verfoppervlak aan. Daardoor worden interessant genoeg de vitale kracht van de verfstreek en het leven van nu benadrukt."

In zijn voorwoord stelt Jasper zelf "alles wordt voortdurend afgebroken en weer opgebouwd. Niets kan de tijd weerstaan. Ook de restanten van een leven zijn slechts fragmenten in de passage van tijd." Die beweging wil hij vastleggen. In zijn werken moet hij echter voor hem vaststaande patronen doorbreken wil hij naar het nieuwe toe bewegen, wil hij groeien, zich vernieuwen. De zintuigen op scherp om de dingen echt te zien, de ware aard. Geschilderd op een gebroken achtergrond. De oude muurtjes van eerder. "Gebroken grond. Verval. Vernieuwing. Een projectiescherm voor de gebeurtenissen die mijn leven bepalen."

Uit dat projecteren, dit laten zien van wat voor deze kunstenaar belangrijk is, zal ik en met mij de bezoeker van de tentoonstelling en de lezer van het boek de persoon Krabbé kunnen doorzien en leren kennen. Want zijn geest waart door het werk. Deze fragmenten van leven zijn bouwstenen die deze mens Jasper vormen. Een dagboek van gebeurtenissen en voorvallen die hij belangrijk genoeg acht te vereeuwigen in beeld. Een agenda waarin hij bij de gegevens van voor hem belangrijke personen het portret heeft geplakt. Zo heeft hij ze gezien, dit is de beeltenis van deze personen zoals hij ze in zijn gedachten tot beeld heeft gevormd. Dat hoeft dus niet de ware identiteit te zijn, maar de idee die voor hem de figuur heeft aangenomen. Zo zijn ook die andere afbeeldingen van onder meer de straatscènes te beschouwen. Het is zijn gevoel bij dat voorval, zijn herinnering als getuigenis.

In het hart van het boek vind ik nog fotografie van de hand van de schilder. Fragmenten van de stad, details uit de omgeving. Dat is alles wat hem opvalt en binnen het kader van de foto opvallend genoeg is. Structuren. Schaduwen. Bewerkte platen. Met de blik en de aandacht waarmee Krabbé ook het doek en het papier te lijf gaat. Dingen die mij allang niet meer opvallen, omdat mijn kijk te zeer gewend is aan het zien van het grote geheel. Daardoor vallen mij die kleinere dingen, delen uit het geheel, nog nauwelijks meer op. Krabbé wijst mij daarop in zijn fotografie, maakt mij erop attent. Beschouwt die zaken zoals hij de vervagende herinneringen bekijkt en vastlegt. Momenten voor de eeuwigheid.

Super Saturation. Schilderijen en tekeningen van Jasper Krabbé. Met een essay over de kunstenaar door Ralph Keuning. Catalogus bij tentoonstelling in Slot Zeist. Uitgave WBOOKS, 2023.

Mucho Flow 2022: 4 nomes a não perder

No ano passado voltamos a um dos nossos festivais urbanos favoritos, o Mucho Flow numa das nossas cidades favoritas e históricas, a cidade de Guimarães. O festival contou com a presença de bandas como Giant Swan ou Anna B Savage. Podem reviver toda a edição aqui: Mucho Flow: A curta distância entre a histórica Guimarães e a modernidade sonora

O Mucho Flow caracteriza-se por um festival que cria tendências, um festival que se encontra à frente de todos os outros e que marca a diferença por trazer diversas estreias a Portugal, e de nomes que darão que falar daqui a muitos poucos anos. Querem exemplos? Destacamos então nomes como Black Midi, Nite Jewel ou Iceage, só para mencionar alguns. Por essa razão, porque não queremos que percam nada, reunimos aqui 4 nomes que não devem (definitivamente) perder nesta edição.

Dia 1. - 4.11.22

George Riley

O festival vimaranense mostra-se sempre muito eclético, sem nunca se deixar definir por um grupo restrito de rótulos musicais, trazendo sempre grandes promessas dos mais variáveis espectros musicais - George Riley veio amplificar esse espectro.

A artista é uma das vozes em maior ascendência do R&B britânico, trazendo algumas influencias do seu país para o seu seio musical como o trip-hop, o pop ou o jazz, transformando a sua música em peças deliciosas de ouvir cheias de sensualidade.

'Running In Waves' é o novo disco acabado de ser editado pela artista que conta com músicas imprescindíveis como a contagiante "Jealousy", "Delusion", "Time" entre muitas outras.

dia 4, às 19:15 no Teatro Jordão, Guimarães

Slauson Malone 1

Slauson Malone 1 é o alter ego de Jasper Marsalis, artista visual e musical que leva muito das suas artes performativas para a sala de espetáculo, muito devido à sua veia artista bem vincada. Alias, Marsalis, pode ser encontrado na Contemporary Art Library como pintor, escultor, trazendo toda a criatividade para a sua música.

O artista de Los Angeles não é bem jazz nem é bem hip-hop. Marsalis é a sua própria arte que desde 2019 nos trouxe dois discos, o mais recente, de 2020, o brilhante ‘Vergangenheitsbewältigung (Crater Speak)’. Recomendamos a audição integra deste disco, destacando a emotiva "The Wake Pt. 3 & 2 (see page 87, 58, and 48)" com um dedilhar delicioso de uma guitarra como pano de fundo acompanhado ora por sintetizadores delicados ora por um lindo conjunto de sopros, fazendo-se acompanhar por um auto-tune fazendo lembrar a voz de Frank Ocean.

Slauson Malone 1 foi definitivamente uma das grandes e boas descobertas que o Mucho Flow nos irá trazer

Dia 2. - 5.11.22

III Considered

Nos últimos anos temo-nos apaixonado pela cena jazz londrina, com nomes como Sons of Kemet, Nubya Garcia, Ezra Collective entre muitos outros. Pois bem, se estes nomes vos dizem alguma coisa, III Considered tem de começar a rodar nos vossos ouvidos.

O trio composto pelo baixista Liran Donin, pelo saxofonista Idris Rahman e pelo produtor e baterista Emre Ramazanoglu, começaram a todo o gás gravando mais de 10 discos desde a sua fundação, em 2017. Sim, 12 discos, para ser mais especifico, que este trio entre sessões ao vivo de improvisação, e outros nem tanto, conseguiram materializar num curto espaço de tempo. O mais recente intitula-se de 'Liminal Space'.

Tendo muitas vezes como personagem principal o saxofone, é ainda acompanhado por aquela tresloucada bateria jazzy e por linhas de baixo montando todo o esqueleto desta formação. Os III Considered oferecem assim uma dinâmica ao vivo com muito de punk, cheias de energia, suor e improviso.

dia 5, às 21:30 no Teatro Jordão, Guimarães

Jockstrap

Quem se encontra por dentro da cena post-punk britânica pode talvez já ter ouvido falar desta banda, Jockstrap. Não propriamente pelo aspecto musical, até porque em pouco tocam uma na outra, mas porque metade da banda é integrante de uma das bandas do momento, os Black Country, New Road. Falamos da violinista, Georgia Ellery. A outra metade, Taylor Skye, conheceu na prestigiada, Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

youtube

A combinação da bonita voz de Georgia e do seu arranjo de cordas com a produção eletrónica de Taylor, trouxeram-nos este ano um dos disco do ano, 'I Love You Jennifer B'. Toca ao de leve no jazz, passando pelo grime, chegando mesmo a batidas de dubstep fazendo-se sempre ouvir um grupo de cordas bem lá no fundo oferendo uma dimensão musical brutal a este duo. Não parece fazer muito sentido? Pois bem, o melhor é mesmo decifrarem pelos vossos próprios ouvidos, o nascer de uma banda que dará que falar em muito pouco tempo. Mais uma vez, uma aposta do Mucho Flow, que sabemos nós que está ganha.

dia 5, às 22:45 no CC Vila Flor, Guimarães
