Literary Canon (from kissgrammar)

The Holy Bible, Authorized King James Version [At a minimum, the books of Genesis, Exodus, Job, Psalms, from the Old Testament; Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Apocalypse from the New.] Whether or not you are Christian is irrelevant. The civilization in which we live is based on and permeated by the ideas and values expressed in this book. Understanding our civilization, the world in which we live, is probably impossible without having read -- and thought about -- at least the most famous books in the Bible. Historically, the King James Version is considered the most artistic, and thus has probably had the most literary influence.

Alex’s Christmas Sleepover 2022!!!

Okay, okay, sooooo

Last year I started this way too late and I also, like, completely failed and didn’t get any of my story requests done, so I greatly apologize for that 😅😅😅 BUT to @shadyrunawaykingdom, @corner-emo, and @sevenmillionpsychos, if you still want the same stories that you requested previously, I will write them this year and they will be the very first stories that I put out from this. If you want a new story instead, just let me know and I’ll do that instead. If you’d like to request another story along with your previous one, that’s perfectly fine, just know that your new story requests will go into whatever list I have going after your previous requests are done. If you need a reminder on what story you requested last year, let me know and I’ll tell you!!

So, now, here’s how things will go. Below, I’ll have listed the characters that I’m currently comfortable writing for categorized by fandoms, as well as different symbols relating to christmas and whatnot. You get to choose if you want a moodboard or story (if you pick story, you automatically get a moodboard as well, please keep that in mind), as well as what character or characters you’d like in it. If you want a story, you get to choose what type of story (smut, angst, fluff, comfort, etc. as well as any combinations - any characters I list that are canonically younger than 18, I will be aging up unless you ask for a scenario that requires them to be younger, just no asking for there to be smut while the character isnt aged up to 18+) as well as if you’d like a shorter story (Around 500-1,500 words) or a longer story (Around 2,000+). You then get to also add in any of the christmas symbols that I list and voila. I shall create something for you 😌

I do ask that you go through this whole post in order to create your request. Also, if you want a specific version of a character (ie, Emo!Wanda Maximoff, Dark!Lizzie Saltzman, Season 3!Eddie Munson, etc., etc..), then please let me know!! You can just fill out the information below and let me fill in the blanks with whatever comes to my mind or you can give me a specific scenario along with the other things as well, it's entirely up to you!!

The FAILING New York Times recently asked their columnists to select “the one piece of culture that, to them, best explains America." The majority of responses are what you'd expect. (Ted fucking Lasso?) Personally, I'm a Melville's The Confidence-Man man, but I'm curious to hear your response.

I mean, it's probably that James O'Keefe video I just referenced. But seriously, folks...it's got to be "Self-Reliance." Pretty much everything good and bad flows out of this, including unembarrassed citations of TV ephemera from would-be literati and other cultural elites:

Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world. I remember an answer which when quite young I was prompted to make to a valued adviser, who was wont to importune me with the dear old doctrines of the church. On my saying, What have I to do with the sacredness of traditions, if I live wholly from within? my friend suggested,—“But these impulses may be from below, not from above.” I replied, “They do not seem to me to be such; but if I am the Devil's child, I will live then from the Devil.” No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution, the only wrong what is against it.

I didn't love The Confidence-Man, found it claustrophobic and cynical, the kind of angry old man cynicism that's kin to sentimentality, as you also find in Twain or Vonnegut, whom I also don't love. I prefer Melville when he's sublime or when he's perverse or when he's elegiac. If I were going to pick a novel, it might be The Scarlet Letter, which contains most of the national character except the race stuff, and explains the entirety of the cultural logic—even re: the race stuff—by which Emerson's antinomianism doesn't spin off into total madness. Just for fun, here's the opening paragraph, in the same vein, of Harold Bloom's Introduction to his Modern Critical Views volume on Pynchon:

We all carry about us our personal catalog of the experiences that matters most—our own versions of what they used to call the Sublime. So far as aesthetic experience in twentieth-century America is concerned, I myself have a short list for the American Sublime: the war that concludes the Marx Brothers’ Duck Soup; Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying; Wallace Stevens’s “The Auroras of Autumn”; nearly all of Hart Crane; Charlie Parker playing “Parker’s Mood” and “I Remember You”; Bud Powell performing “Un Poco Loco”; Nathanael West’s Miss Lonelyhearts; and most recently, the story of Byron the light bulb in Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow.

Gareth didn’t see Barb again for another two weeks. They didn’t share the same classes or lunch periods, and despite the smallness of Hawkins, the high school was big enough that you could go a few days without running into a person. But that afternoon was the monthly science club meeting, and he made sure to be there.

He liked science. He really did. Maybe not enough to join a student organization for it, but he’d watched Barb pin a sign-up sheet to the hallway corkboard back in early September and he decided maybe he did like science that much. The problem is, the science club was actually kind of a big club. Sort of a bastion for the nerdy types, a safe space where intellectual curiosity was prized and not mocked. So Gareth didn’t really get too many chances to talk to Barb.

She was on the board, and sat at the head table with the rest of the leadership, taking careful notes of the meeting. Still, that gave him fifty minutes of nearly uninterrupted time to just look at her. He liked the expressions she made as she dutifully took her notes and listened to speakers. She had no filter, like him. Whatever she thought showed up on her face and he liked being witness to her personal inner monologue. But, sooner than he’d liked, the meeting was over and people were breaking into small groups to chat while others started folding and stacking chairs. Gareth didn’t really have anyone to talk to since his friends weren’t in the club, so he quietly pitched in on the cleanup effort.

“Hi, Gare-Bear!” A familiar voice greeted him from somewhere behind him.

Unbidden, his cheeks flushed scarlet in embarrassment, but when he turned, Barb’s smile wasn’t mocking. She wasn’t making fun of him. Instead, her smile was sweet, just a little amused.

“Hi. Um, it’s—”

“Gareth. I know,” she bounced the binder in her arms a little. She was the club secretary; she had the roster of all the members. “Here, I wanted to give this back.”

From her purse, she withdrew his bandana. It was neatly folded, as red as his face but surprisingly unstained.

“I washed it, think I got the stains out,” she added.

He took it from her, stuffing it in his back pocket. A waft of Snuggle fabric softener tickled his nose.

“Thanks,” he glanced up at her, feeling suddenly shy now that he was singled out. Gone was the courage of that night at the Harrington’s. “How’s… how’s your hand doing?”

She held it out for him to inspect, a shiny pink scar marring her palm but healing well.

“Much better, thank you. It’s still a little sore, but you were right—no stitches!”

His cheeks were burning again, this time with a more pleasurable flush, hearing that he was right. “I’m really glad.”

He wanted to ask if her friend had come to her senses, if she had realized how hurt Barb had been that night, but it wasn’t his business. He also wanted to hold her hand and kiss the little scar all better. Instead, he stood stock still, posture stiff and awkward and his fingers clutching the back of the folding chair he’d picked up.

“Anyways, I wanted to say thank you for the help. I’ll see you at the next meeting?” She asked, eyebrows raising at him.

He was aware that he was stammering something affirmative and nodding, but then she was gone and he was left alone, dazed and clinging to a metal folding chair like a life raft. He gave himself a little shake and hurried to put away his chair and grab his backpack. His mom would be waiting outside to pick him up.

Eddie was ruthless. Gareth hadn’t returned the bandana to regular service, but instead, he’d stuck it under his pillow when he’d gotten home. And Eddie had found it there a few days later when he’d been shuffling Gareth’s pillows around to get comfortable on his friend’s bed and Gareth was never going to hear the end of it.

“Shut up! I’m not jerking it to her laundry detergent!” He yelped when Eddie suggested that was why he might’ve kept the cloth there. He did sometimes like to bury his nose in it and inhale deeply—it smelled like her laundry softener and maybe perfume. But it wasn’t because of that. Just… sometimes, as he was drifting off he’d nuzzle his cheek into the folded bandana and hope he’d dream of her.

Eddie remained unconvinced, but he let the subject drop. Embarrassing Gareth was only fun up to a certain point, and after that, it was just mean. And if the nerdy little fourteen-year-old wanted to have a crush on the tall redhead, well… Eddie would judge his taste but he wouldn’t be cruel.

Honestly, his little friend was innocent. God knows Eddie was trying his hardest to corrupt him but it probably would have never crossed his mind. Gareth was the kinda guy to take a girl on a date and pick her up at the door with flowers and open all the doors for her. He was a sap. He thought no one knew he secretly liked romance movies. It wouldn’t even cross his mind to be untoward, which is why Eddie took such delight in opening his eyes to things.

“Hey, buddy, it’s normal,” Eddie laughed, and Gareth turned pink, mumbling something that sounded like a denial.

“Okay, fine. Are you going to at least ask her out, or are you just going to keep making heart eyes at her and stammering every time she’s near you?” Eddie sat up, leaning into Gareth’s personal space. His friend recoiled, frowning.

“I can’t just ask her out! She’s sixteen! What would she even want with me, Eddie? I’m fourteen! I still have a bedtime! My mom still drives me to school! I can’t even take her out without getting someone to drive us—”

“She drives,” Eddie interjected.

“So she’s gotta drive? That’s her taking me out!” Gareth’s voice was getting squeaky with indignation and Eddie was trying not to laugh as he worked himself up.

“So don’t ask her out. Just pine from a distance and watch as someone else does.” Eddie shrugged.

That also wasn’t a satisfactory option, judging by the way Gareth’s nose crinkled up unhappily, but he didn’t have an answer to his conundrum. If he was older, it wouldn’t be an issue. But he wasn’t—he was still stuck in that limbo between being a kid and being a teenager. If he asked her out, he was pretty sure that he’d be let down gently, but let down all the same. Just the anticipation of that made his chest hurt.

“She’s just gonna shoot me down, anyways, Eddie,” he grumbled, picking at the fraying cuff of his long-sleeve tee, “Nicely, probably, but… I’m just the kid who was too young to hang out at her friends’ party.”

“Well, won’t know unless you try…” Eddie started, but Gareth interrupted him.

“When you ask Chrissy out, I’ll ask Barb out. Deal?”

Eddie hesitated, before holding out a hand to shake. “Deal.”

It turned out that Gareth wouldn’t even get the chance to find out since just after winter break, Reed Branson asked Barb out.

Even though Eddie hadn’t held up his end of their deal yet, Gareth had spent the whole break working up the courage to ask if she’d want to go to the movies with him that weekend. The Hawk was screening both Terms of Endearment and Christine so they had a good choice—either a tear-jerking drama or a scary thriller. He and Eddie had seen Christine over the break and Gareth was pretty sure he could hold it together and not startle like a wuss. He had Christmas money from his grandparents stashed so he could pay for everything, too. He was going to do it. He was going to catch her at her locker after classes let out and ask her.

Instead, he rounded the corner of the hall just in time to watch Reed lean casually on the locker next to Barb’s and ask her if she was free that weekend because he’d like to take her out. Dinner and a movie, maybe? Her cheeks flushed so prettily under her freckles and she giggled as she agreed to the plans. Barb tore off a corner of a page in her notebook and wrote down her number. Reed tucked the strip in his back pocket with a cocky grin and promised to call her that evening.

Gareth was surprised not to hear the sound of breaking glass as his heart shattered. Before he could make his escape, Barb looked past Reed’s shoulder and spotted him standing there, looking at them.

“Oh, Gareth! Hi! Did you need something?” Her smile was too warm for his sore little heart, and he hoped it didn’t show on his face.

“I, uh, it’s okay. You look busy. I’ll go ask…” he couldn’t think of anyone else’s name to supply, so he just jerked his head back the way he’d come.

“No, you’re fine, sweetie. What did you need?” She asked him in an encouraging tone, before directing her attention to Reed for a brief moment. “Call me tonight, okay? I’ll talk to you then.”

Sweetie. Not exactly a nickname he wanted to hear. Sweetie is what you called little kids when they bugged you. Is that what he was to her? Just a little kid, interrupting her while she was planning a date with someone older and taller and more handsome. But she was looking at him expectantly and he needed to come up with something fast to cover his ass.

“Oh, well… we’re um, going over protein synthesis! In Gallagher’s class, that is. I’m not sure I get it?” He stammered, watching Reed leave. “I wanted to ask if maybe you had some time to go over it with me before the test next week… but I can see you’re busy so it’s okay. I can ask someone else.”

Phew. Tutoring was a reasonable excuse. Science club members helped each other out all the time. Perfectly normal. Nothing to see. Even if he did actually understand protein synthesis just fine and hated the idea of implying that he wasn’t smart because he didn’t get something.

“Don’t be silly! I can find time to help. Are you free on Monday, just after school? We can meet in the library for a little bit.”

Oh. Well, maybe this could still be in his favor. He could get a little one-on-one time with her, at least, even if it wasn’t a date. They could talk a little, she could feel good when she explained the subject well enough that he “got” it.

“Um… yeah. Yeah! I can do Monday,” he agreed, curls flopping in his eyes as he nodded quickly, “Thanks, you’re saving me here!”

Barb giggled again, this time for him. He could feel the cracks in his poor broken heart try to knit together again at the sound.

“Perfect! I’ll see you then,” she said, pulling her purse out of her locker and swinging it shut.

“Y-yeah. See you then,” he replied, watching her as she turned to go.

He was left standing in the hall alone, wondering what the hell he was going to do now.

Bio

Jameson Cassidy never really got a fair shot in life and where he is now proved that he never really had a chance. Born to an incredibly dysfunctional family, Jameson didn’t know peace for most of his early years. His parents were in and out of jail for various illegal activities and much of the toxic environment was brought home to the young Jameson and his younger sister. The pair were often removed from their parents care and placed in the home of their aunt while the parents were either serving time or in rehab. Eventually, their behavior caught up with them resulting in his parents death’s while Jameson was still rather young. The siblings were then placed in the permanent care of their aunt.

While his homelife had improved considerably and was filled with love, the reputation of their parents followed them wherever they went. Even the town of Aurora Bay had been privy to the world Jameson and his sister had been subjected to when they were younger. It was like a scarlet letter that followed them no matter how much time had passed. It also didn’t help that as soon as Jameson hit puberty he started to act out himself. His circumstances may have been better, but the damage had already been done. It started small with taking things that weren’t his and being caught underage drinking. Then it escalated into stealing larger things,vandalism, and getting into fights. His aunt tried to help him the best she could, but it seemed like Jameson was heading down the same path as his parents despite how good things were becoming. There was a small silver lining though that kicked off what Jameson believed to be a change for the better

It seemed like a cliche for Jameson at first but he began to realize that love would save the day. He was actually incredibly bright but never wanted to apply himself in school. It was why he had found himself getting tutoring for a subject he knew but didn’t apply himself in. It was also how he met someone who would change his life. His tutor had been someone he had always seen in passing but never have a second glance at because he just didn’t think they existed in the same worlds, but she knew of him and didn’t think there was really a bad bone in his body. Just someone who had survived a lot and needed someone to give him a chance. It was that kind of care that made Jameson begin to fall in love with her.

If people had an image of him why should he prove them wrong if he knew deep down their mind had been already made up. Or at least that was what he thought at first, but from the moment of their first session Jameson realized not everyone had the same idea about him. He started to apply himself more and eventually brought his grades up enough to finish high school while also giving him the urge to pursue higher education. Jameson had always been good with his hands. He could fix anything that was in front of him and often found himself picking up shifts at the local garage. He knew if he just applied himself like he had done previously he might be able to work his way into a school to become and engineer. All through that time he had the support of his aunt, sister and now his girlfriend. He was going to make something of his life and try to ignore those who seemed to take issue with him. He was going to save up for school but also save up to propose to his girlfriend and the loud voices of a few couldn’t deter him.

Jameson wasn’t a fool though. He knew plenty of people had a good reason to dislike him. He was irresponsible and had a history of trouble. A history that sometimes still blended into the present and try as he might he couldn’t shake the sins of his past or his parents. He just wanted a shot to make something of himself. However, when a series of incidents started to happen in town, all fingers pointed to Jameson, even though for the first time it wasn’t him. He was being set up to take the fall for someone else. Who would ever believe he was innocent this time? Public opinion started to turn on Jameson again, but he wasn’t going to let it sit and rot away his progress. He began to work with his girlfriend to figure out who it was until it had been someone who had taken an issue with this new leaf he was turning over. It had been one of his friends who had been setting him up and was hoping Jameson would take the heat off of him for having a not so stellar past. Jameson was unsure how to react other than feeling hurt that his trust in someone had been broken. He also knew if he went to the cops about his friend no one would believe him as they were someone who was well liked in town and knew he’d get away with the lie.

At the revelation; Jameson went off to find them and the pair got into a huge physical altercation. Jameson could have used his words or reported him to the police but he knew it wouldn’t do him any good. Unfortunately, the situation escalated and while they fought, Jameson’s opponent had slipped and fallen high and hard enough to break his neck. That moment Jameson’s whole future came crashing down. His college aspirations, his relationships, and his freedom.

Jameson spent the next few years in and out of court and jail trying to prove it had been an accident, and while he was ultimately charged with manslaughter he knew whatever good faith he had gained from trying to better himself had been destroyed that night. He blames himself for everything that night and wishes he could go back and fix things. It wouldn’t have fixed everything but he knew he should have just down something different.

Now that he’s been released, Jameson tends to keep to himself. His small social circle is even smaller now that he’s become more reclusive and he’s someone who could be found mostly working on cars or reading by himself in a quiet place. He’s wary of his old friends because he’s not sure what they knew or if they knew anything and if he is social; he takes a while to come out of his shell. He also has been avoiding his former girlfriend like the plague because he’s scared he has nothing to offer her anymore and believes that he wouldn’t be given another chance. However he’s still in love with her and still has the ring he was going to propose to her with. She’s also been avoiding him due to her own reasons, but there’s something more there that Jameson is unaware of. Jameson also isn’t sure if he should insert himself back in her life or not. In the end he knows he’s in a strange sort of limbo and hopes that there are people who saw beyond what had happened and know he’s trying his best to stay out of trouble and live his family name down once and for all.

hey rock ... for the ask 15 and 42:)

15. what color is most of your wardrobe?

Black. It's mostly black. Followed by grey, white, red, blue, purple... I have a lot of colours, but half my wardrobe is black lmao

42. who is your biggest inspiration?

ooooo good question!! That's a really hard one. A lot of people inspire me, and I guess it goes into categories?? Like, biggest inspiration in real life: some of my old teachers, the only people who cared and understood me when I needed it most. Biggest inspiration fictionally: Scarlet in the book Scarlet by AC Gaughen, it's a genderbended Robin Hood story. Biggest inspiration in the media: Gerard Way, probably. Or Andy Biersack. Remington Leith and Emerson Barrett both inspire me hugely. It's hard to pic just one inspiration when all of these people helped to shape me for who I am!
