[kerosene-in-a-blender]

I really loved the scene between Dr. Jean and Mr. Kingsley. She's fascinated intellectually by what's happening to him, both from the Bleed and Eon tech she's using to combat it. She asks him what it feels like, I think both out of curiosity and a desire to find out what her father feels when this tech is used on him

She steadfastly refuses to stop trying to keep him alive even as he's begging for death, and both Beatrix and Nathanial suggest that in his state death would a be mercy. She clings to the idea that as a doctor she's supposed to do no harm, which is why she will not stop trying to help this man, even as it's prolonging his suffering. All the while haunted by the image of Avery, someone she feels like she abandoned to die. And in the end she needs to leave with Marion while Beatrix and Nathanial do the unpleasant work of ending Mr. Kingsley's misery, because she cannot stand to feel for a moment that she's party to someone else's death

#this whole episode was an absolute banger #but this scene in particular was super interesting to me #critical role #candela obscura #candela obscura spoilers #co spoilers #dr. jean #jinnah basar

Okay but seriously though, Jean having to keep living on without her mother, Avery, her father, Sean, AND MARION WHO DIED FOR HER, is fucking gutting.

Zehra’s incredible portrayal of a woman keeping detached, prim and proper, then finally letting herself feel, was so effective.

Maybe it’s fitting that the woman who sewed up the rift was well practiced at keeping herself together.

To Jinnah, Sean is "Mr. Finnerty" until she recalls the memory of Avery falling out of the train and she can't help but call Sean by his first name at the thought of him potentially suffering a similar fate, removing the careful distance she puts in between her and her team.

To Sean, Jean is "Doc" until Marion says there's trouble in the back of train where they both know both Jean and Bea are, because the thought of her in trouble removes the humor behind the nickname Doc.

This Jinnah x Sean dynamic? Tasty

Do you have any book/essay/media recommendations for an analysis of the bible through a gothic lense/themes?

i have nothing that takes the gothic genre specifically, but i have many that use gothic themes. books on haunting (unfamiliar selves by reed, grace cho's work, avery gordon's work), books on affect and horror (bodies, embodiment, and the hb ed. kim, affect theories and theologies ed. bray), books on dismemberment (the bible after deleuze by moore, carnal hermeneutics ed. kearney), sacramental theologians (jean-luc nancy's work, marion's work, falque's work), books on theological psychoanalysis (somatic desire ed. horton, stigmata by cixous, books by bracha ettinger, julia kristeva, or griselda pollock).

the thing about working in cross-fertilizations such as the bible and the gothic is that it is largely un-surveyed. you must take fragments and create the theory yourself (which is what i have had to do with tissues and texts and holes!). lacuna of sources does not mean you are not onto something: on the contrary. you're right where you need to be

#for a second i thought you meant goth as in emo-adjacent and was stoked bc i've always considered myself emo #and am ready to talk about the theologies of math rock #ask

I have a book coming out this month!

THE GHOST AND THE REAL GIRL is a ghost story with an LGBT twist. Fans of WARM BODIES by Isaac Marion and THE NIGHT CIRCUS by Erin Morgenstern will love this haunting love story.

When Sera is hired to rob a 200 year old grave, the last thing she expects is the ghost of Lady Clementine de Quill rising up to scold her for it. Though her world is full of magical echoes from a not-so-distant past, a ghost is completely unheard of. What’s more, no one else can see or hear Clem. Sera tries everything to get rid of her– selling the items she took from her grave, bathing in saltwater, even putting herself through a religious smoke cleansing from the Church of the Wheel. Nothing works, and Sera finally resigns herself to having a ghost follow her around for the rest of her life.

Despite their differences, a partnership begins to bloom between the streetwise gravedigger and the cultured noblewoman. Just as they realize that maybe they aren’t so different after all, Clem starts to fade, flickering in and out for longer and longer stretches of time. Sera begins to realize that with each time Clem vanishes, there’s a chance that she won’t come back. There’s only one problem: she can’t imagine life without her anymore.

A Decade Through Time: The Alderberg Legacy: Year 1610

It’s been over a month since the last update , so here is year 1610! 

From the Beginning I Currently

The first quarter was quiet and peaceful in the new decade.

Geoffrey & Parnell found themselves expecting their second child together 1 year later after their cherished and departed daughter , Thomasin.

 Helewis was also expecting and was worried over the health of her baby , knowing that she was getting older , but the excitement and joy was still there for the couple. 

Luckily , 3 months into the 1610 , Helewis safely delivered her second child and Griffyn’s 9th child - another little boy. 

The boy was named Piers , after Helewis father. The new mother and father were delighted to have such a healthy child together , knowing that this would probably be the only fruit of their marriage. 

Shortly after Piers Alderberg’s birth , Stephan Friswell celebrated his 13th birthday and was now a young man. 

Stephan had always been a doting brother  , but now that it was only Theodora and him left of the Friswell children  , he tried to spend as much time bonding with his little sister as he could as his parents had valued family more then anything.  

The beginning of the third quarter drastically changed all plans Mary Dagworth had and put her at a loss of words.

Her husband Hubert and youngest child , Fanstine , had somehow come into contact with the dreadful illness that was typhoid fever. Fanstine was only 9 months old and Hubert barely 30 , titling Mary “Widow Dagworth”. 

She was unsure how to feel about their deaths- she never loved Hubert and saw him as a tool , but after 5 years of marriage you cannot help to grow a little fond, and she had so many hopes and dreams for Fanstine that would never happen now. She was thankful , at-least that Tobias and Amos was spared from this dreadful event, or maybe not.  

Now , without their father to supervise them , Mary could do much more to influence them to do her bidding. But she would need some help with the childcare. 

And it didn’t take long before someone was hired. A 15 , almost 16 year old peasant girl with lovely blond hair. 

Her name was  Jane , a girl Mary never had met before in her whole life , yet look so oddly familiar.

Though she couldn’t pin point where those familiar features came from.  

If Mary only knew that she hired her very own niece to care for her sons , she would have never hired her at all. After all she hated Catherine for being their mother’s favorite. 

But she didn’t , and Jane was a delightful addition to the Dagworth boys lives, especially little Amos , whom was often ignored by his mother in favor of Tobias. 

As the third quarter continues onward , so did life in the Alderberg home. It was then when James Alderberg celebrated his 6th birthday. 

But James had changed from the sweet toddler he once was into a very angry child. He had a short fuse and the smallest thing could rub him off the wrong way. 

It had changed Caleb and his relationship drastically. Caleb was a grumpy boy and had no time for his brother hotheadedness. 

They argued so much that Griffyn had to stop his sons and remind them that they were brothers and not mortal enemies , but the peace would never last. 

By the end of 1610 , Griffyn’s oldest child with his first wife Priscilla , , the lovely Marion , became a adolescences. As a birthday gift her father built a violin for her , which she played with her hearts full delight. If William was alive he would be so very proud of his talented granddaughter. 

Meanwhile at the Kellogg farm , the happy news continued as Geoffrey both celebrated the birth of his second child , a son and his 20th birthday. 

He wanted to name him Audrey , after all it would only be fair as they named Thomasin after Thomas , but Parnell refused , but suggested the name Avery instead , which made Geoff happy and content with the compromise. 

To end the year with a bittersweet note: Margery Rookwood celebrated her 30th birthday without much problem. 

Although she lived a very comfortable life as a merchants wife with  lovely twin daughters , she was still not that happy with her lot in life. 

She would rather have spend her days as a spinster or a servant somewhere out in the big world , but the watcher’s dice and her grandmother had other plans for her.  Margery can only hope that Isabelle and Avis will have more opportunities then she did , to live their lives they wish to live.

Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate (Mike Nichols, 1967)

Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, Katharine Ross, William Daniels, Murray Hamilton, Elizabeth Wilson, Buck Henry, Brian Avery, Walter Brooke, Norman Fell, Alice Ghostley, Marion Lorne, Eddra Gale. Screenplay: Calder Willingham, Buck Henry, based on a novel by Charles Webb. Cinematography: Robert Surtees. Production design: Richard Sylbert. Film editing: Sam O’Steen. 

The Graduate and It Happened One Night (Frank Capra, 1934) are both fine examples of the "runaway bride" trope, but there the resemblance ends in irony. In the latter, Ellie (Claudette Colbert) balks at the altar and runs away, veil and train streaming, into the arms of Peter (Clark Gable), but we never see them together: The film ends with the sound of a toy trumpet and we see the "walls of Jericho" blanket falling. It's a gratifying "happy ending," in which order is brought out of chaos, which is the way a romantic comedy is traditionally supposed to end. But in The Graduate the situation is reversed: The wedding that is supposed to restore order ends in chaos, as Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman) arrives to carry off Elaine (Katharine Ross), interrupting the nuptial kiss after the wedding is over. And then we see them together on the bus, as Nichols holds the camera on their faces just a little longer than he might: The smiles on their faces begin to fade, and uncertainty takes hold. We aren't supposed to wonder about what happens to Ellie and Peter, but we can't help feeling the chill of reality fall over Elaine and Benjamin. Watching The Graduate today, I find it a troubling, even cynical treatment of some serious themes. Benjamin, for example, seems to be designed as a comic figure, with his little gulps and tics and his awkwardness when faced with the seductive Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft). But a more sympathetic viewer might diagnose him as clinically depressed, desperately being borne along by the tide of events, just as he's borne along by the moving sidewalk at the airport in the film's beginning, and then trying to avoid the consequences of the freedom he has earned by graduating. He escapes from the adult world into his room, with its burbling fish tank that foreshadows his underwater escape when he's expected to "perform" in the scuba gear he's been presented by his parents. When he does commit himself to a course of action, deciding suddenly and almost arbitrarily that he will marry Elaine, he has clearly lost his mind. And is there a sadder figure in movies than Mrs. Robinson, who lives in alcoholic denial of the disaster her life has become? Bancroft's performance in the scene in which Benjamin tries to get her to open up about her life is simply stunning. The screenplay by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry is the only really funny part of the film, with its classically quotable lines: "Plastics." "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. ... Aren't you?" "I think you're the most attractive of all my parents' friends." It's Nichols's direction that turns our attention to the reality undermining the comedy. The Graduate is often seen as a kind of twin to Bonnie and Clyde (Arthur Penn, 1967): two films that announce an epochal shift in Hollywood, upending audience expectations by addressing themselves to a more sophisticated young audience. As a satire on upper-middle-class life in the mid-20th century that masquerades as a romantic comedy, The Graduate was enormously influential. I just can't make up my mind whether that influence was for the good.

(▶︎ Scry | Cole Puliceから)

Scry by Cole Pulice

Cole Pulice is a composer, saxophonist and electroacoustic musician from Oakland-via-Minneapolis. Following their debut album "Gloam" and two duo collaborations with Lynn Avery and Nat Harvie, Cole Pulice returns with their sophomore album "Scry". The sound is deeply contemporary, incorporating saxophone/wind synth with live signal processing and modern electronics/software. It drifts between electroacoustic experimentalism and more traditional forms of song-like beauty, casting a wide sonic net that highlights Pulice’s versatility and creativity as both an improviser and composer. From Cole: "Scry is a collection of musics exploring fragmentary or gradient states of liminality – recursive spirals of worlds hidden within worlds, dreams within dreams, sensations of time, and the notion of the past, present, and future all occupying a single point. It’s a record that, for me, resonates strongly with this sort of “between-ness:” it began in Minneapolis, and was finished in Oakland, bridging pre-pandemic life with the “new normal” of current times; being genderqueer and navigating the spaces between and outside of the masculine and feminine binary; wandering through a musical interchange station that is interconnects improvisation, “song,” and collage experiments . . . multidimensional yet woven together by similar aesthetic threads. Whereas my previous record, Gloam, was mostly a series of compositions for a very specific electroacoustic setup, Scry utilizes a series of different hardware/software frameworks and apparatus. Or, to think of it in another way: Gloam was like looking through a kaleidoscope (each turn of the handle giving a different abstract perspective of the same bits of gemstone); Scry is more like a stained-glass crystal ball (a singular sculpture, with each fragment somehow offering an ephemeral glimpse into another world or dimension). Scry is deeply indebted to the electroacoustic works of Pauline Oliveros, David Behrman, Marion Brown, Maggi Payne, Harold Budd, and Jon Hassell - all of whom explored, in their own ways, the interconnectivity between acoustic instruments, interactive electronic signal processing, and improvisation - the crux of ‘Scry’s DNA. To this end: virtually all of the signal processing on ‘Scry’ is done live as I play saxophone/wind synth, either through a hardware setup that I control with my feet as I play, or through software instruments I build which respond live to what I’m playing. Often, both software and hardware processes are being used simultaneously. "To scry" defines the practice of foretelling the future through gazing into a crystal ball or other reflective surfaces. There's a lot to say here regarding the mix of temporalities, timelines, states of being, and so forth, but I mostly just have to give a special thanks to glass artist, composer, and dear friend Sadie Robison. The arcane aesthetics of her technicolor stained glass sculptures were a major influence on the themes of Scry 🧡" —Cole Pulice クレジット2022年9月30日リリース Recorded between 2019—2022 in: Minneapolis, Minnesota Seward, Ventura Village, 8vB Studio Oakland, California West Oakland, Oakland Music Complex, Paul Dresher Ensemble Studios, Reinhardt Redwoods Regional Park Lynn Avery: Live signal processing on "Moon Gate Rune," clarinet on "Scry" Charlie Bruber: Electric bass on "Astral Cowpoke," double bass on "City in a City" Mitch Stahlmann: Clarinet, Lou Harrison Digital Gamelan, Sampling on "Scry" Mixed by Lynn Avery & Cole Pulice Mastered by Angel Marcloid at Angel Hair Studios Art & Design by Steve Rosborough
