Hey if you guys had ever done a DTIYS before, you know the drill, your drawings can be traditional or digital, you can redraw whether picture fits your fancy and you can do humans or ponies whether is your preference. Ain’t a deadline cuz I’m brutally aware that people have lives, ain’t nothing left so go ham.

#85 - 1976/16: Jackson Browne - The Pretender

The sleeve: I like the photo, very 70s NYC, and the debossed effect is nice. Less keen on the fonts.

Had I heard this before: not at all

I liked Browne's Late for the Sky (1974/11) enough to buy a used vinyl copy so I was keen to hear this one (his other big hitter, Running on Empty, won't feature in the stuffed goodie bag that is 1977). Opener "The Fuse" immediately establishes the sound of the record, with the piano considerably more foregrounded compared to Late for the Sky. It's a solid ballad, then followed by the just-OK "Your Bright Baby Blues", which is a little Van Morrisonesque. While that's a slur these days, it has nothing on "Linda Paloma", which is terrible to the point where I wonder if it's a bad joke, a parody of sentimental Mexican guitar music rather than simply a pastiche. Much of the rest of the record then hits me as kitschy more than anything and the songs don't really stick. "Sleep's Dark and Silent Gate" stands out in terms of its expensive sounding production (very hi-fi!) and the closing title track as, again, pretty solid but also a bit long (and let's not get into the awful rhymes).

Can't say the overall impression is positive but it's the end of term and I'm feeling generous so let's call it a

[C]

Everybody wants wise counsel. The character of Nora is no different. What she sees in Father Alfred is loyalty and truth. But one person's savior can be another's demon. Get yourself wrapped in inquisition. Questions seek the truth. The truth should be set free. But what if it's too dangerous? #ActionAndAdventure #KingsAndQueens #Mercy #FightingSisters #NoLoveLeft #TheTruth #UnravelingTheMystery #ThePretender #TheWrongQueen #RiseUp #ComeGet #TheSummerRead #StormAtTheBeach #TimeToSit #ComfyChair #CoffeeTeaCocoa #LoveYourFamily #ShareAGoodBook #EyeOfTheStorm #StayInside #ItCanWait #OceanBook #KickBackInTheSand #NewBritain https://www.instagram.com/p/CgFs8RBveVq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Brass in Pocket, The Pretenders

The Pretender’s break-out hit, Brass in Pocket was written by bandmates James Honeyman-Scott and Chrissie Hynde. Hynde explained to American Songwriter that the Brass in Pocket vibe “is that you're supposed to be kind of cocky and sure of yourself.” It was an attitude she felt was important to project on-stage…although the song lyrics and the accompanying video (one of the first 10 to air on MTV) certainly emphasized a cockiness in the relationship sense.

Speaking of the lyrics…Hynde indicates that she has many fine attributes including, arms, legs, style and imagination. But, perhaps the most difficult to decipher is “I got bottle, I’m gonna use it.” Chrissie explains that according to Cockney rhyming slang. It means bottle and glass. Which means she has something that rhymes with the word “glass”. I’ll let you figure it out.

There’s no doubting another lyric: She is special!

Little Nightmares The Butterfly Effect Arc 1: The Flap Of A Wing Prologue

In an imperfect world run by monsters and a powerful Signal Tower that twists normal citizens into glitchy nightmare fuel creatures that send children scrambling into the wild wilderness to try to survive another day, there exists a single cycle. No one knows the exact origin of the cycle itself, not even the five children who are trapped in it, but it always starts the same.

A young girl in a yellow raincoat riding a hot balloon that she somehow made crash lands into a tall mansion resting at the top of a large rock called the Nest. She would go through the mansion, rescue the children trapped inside, run across another runaway girl named Six, team up with her, attempt to escape only to die by the hands of another girl called the Pretender, the young ruler of the Nest as they splashed into the deep waters below the mansion.

Six, the surviving girl of the trio, would then catch a ride on the raft both her and the girl in the yellow raincoat had set up for their escape and collapse, heart broken in so many pieces that she swore no one could put it together. Next Six arrives at the Pale City Wilderness, with her heart and soul shattered, but with no other option as she could never change the past, she heads into the wilderness in order to survive and possibly find a new home. The journey took several miles with the little girl having to stop and eat wild berries along the way but the end was nowhere in sight and night was starting to fall.

Six then decided enough walking was done for the day or rather night and went to set up camp. But as she looked up for a perfect tree to climb, she caught sight of another child wearing a brown trench coat and paper bag sitting on a long tree branch right above her, the light of the moon making him a dark shade in the night. Six paused in her search and stared at the boy and he stared back once catching sight of her, confused as to who this child was and why he was here.

Was he a runaway like her? So many questions filled her mind and with her being so distracted, she didn’t notice the large hulking figure behind her until she was grabbed roughly around her middle and thrown into a cage before being carried to his cabin with the runaway boy, Mono, being the only witness. This starts the second phase of the cycle. Mono will chase after the Hunter, outwit his traps with natural resources of the forest, break into his cabin and rescue Six from his hands before being chased by the Hunter then later dispatching him.

With the Hunter now dead, the two children gathered a raft aka a broken piece of door then they sailed off toward the Pale City. There they traveled through the school and hospital, met with the Bullies, the Teacher and Doctor and through several close calls, one that involved Six being kidnapped by the Bullies and Mono having to cut her free. Both Mono and Six managed to escape and with each escape, a bond started to form between them, healing the broken heart Six had within her chest from watching her friend with the yellow raincoat die. However that bond would soon be shattered by one foe and one move by Mono.

Upon reaching the heart of the Pale City and dealing with the glitchy monsters called the Viewers. Mono came across a TV, went inside it and freed a creature that was his once beloved father, called the Thin Man, hellbent on destroying both Mono and Six for reasons unknown. With his powers, the Thin Man kidnapped Six and chased Mono through the Pale City express.

By sheer dumb luck, the little boy managed to escape the Thin Man and later kill him using his own powers before heading into the Signal Tower to find Six and save her one last time. After a while of running around, he finally found Six by the sound of her music box, transformed into a horrifying monster by the Signal Tower. What he did next sealed his fate, Mono grabbed a hammer that appeared out of nowhere and smashed the music box to bits, causing Six to turn back to normal.

With the little girl back to normal, the Signal Tower revealed it’s true form attacked, causing Mono and Six to flee. They ran as fast as their little legs could carry them till they reached a cliff. Six made it but Mono had to make a jump for it, Six caught him but let go once she saw his face. Her eyes went wide and terror spiked through her veins as she was reminded of the Thin Man, the one who kidnapped her and twisted her into that thing. She jerked her hand away from Mono and ran out of the tower, leaving Mono to sit on the Thin Man’s chair and eventually become the Thin Man.

After Six’s escape from the Signal Tower, the third phase of the cycle happened. While wandering the Pale City with a regretful heart now back in pieces from what she did, Six got kidnapped by a strange creature called the Ferryman and taken to an odd place called the Maw, a place where you could eat all you want, run by who was Raine and Mono’s mother, Thin Man’s wife and would become Six’s last victim, the Lady. Survival instincts kicked in within Six once again and she fought through to escape and after dealing with the workers and visitors of the Maw: the Janitor, the Twin Chefs, the Guests and devouring some questionable things in cursed hunger such as a rat and poor Nome who happened to be another runaway boy who had escaped from a terrifying Granny and befriended the other Nomes, Six reached the Lady and defeated her, devouring her in the process.

With the Lady’s shadow powers in her system, Six escaped the Maw and dispatched several of the Guests that tried to eat her with the other Nomes watching in awe. The fate of Six is now unknown, either Six becomes the next Lady or she disappears, never to be seen again. Then the cycle repeats itself, it was nothing more than a cycle of death, betrayal and hunger, all to keep the Signal Tower alive, meant to keep going forever, never to stop...except for one little thing. Even though the Signal Tower was a cunning creature who kept its puppets on their strings, it was unaware that sometimes small changes in a timeline could affect the whole show or the outcome of the show.

The cycle would end soon enough, even the most hopeless of situations could have a little spark. All it took was the flap of a butterfly’s wing for the cycle to break.

Six awoke with a gasp, nearly kicking off her blankets as she sat up on her makeshift bed. Her small hands gripped the fabric of the mattress as her head whipped around the inside of one of the guest bedrooms within the Nest, her heart pounded wildly within her chest and her body was slightly streaked in sweat. As her vision and body became more aware of where she was and the situation around her, she began to calm down slightly but no doubt put her usual cautious and survivor instinct attitude back on. Despite the room she and her friend in the yellow raincoat had chosen being safe or as safe as it could be, the young girl couldn’t help herself as it was only natural to be on edge especially in a cruel, twisted, fucked up world like this.

Six sighed softly under her breath, bringing her knees up to her chest so she could rest her arms on her knees. Her head however, was moving back and forth, studying the darkness carefully and making sure there were no monsters like the Butler or the Craftsman or her, the bitchy ruler of the Nest, the Pretender. Thankfully for her, there were no signs of any of the Nest’s residents sneaking into the guest bedrooms to catch Six and Raine while they were sleeping and definitely not while they were in the act, you dirty minded readers.

Okay, back to the story cuz’ if I have to continue doing this bullshit then I’ll be here all day. Taking in a sharp inhale through her nose then an exhale out her mouth, the raven haired girl turned her gaze from the door that she had locked and barred for her and Raine’s sake to the raincoat girl who was lying beside her in their makeshift bed. She was facing away from Six, head resting on her pillow and small body covered by the surprisingly fancy sheets and blankets the old, falling apart mansion had. Maybe this was Six’s limited looks inside the Nest since that place was a place to fuck off from as quickly as possible, but she expected everything in this shithole to be rotting and rundown.

Seems like the Butler took care of the rooms other than the Pretender’s then she thought and that brought out a feeling that had buried itself deep within her chest many cycles ago: anger. Mostly at the injustice that the spoiled bitch was getting better treatment then the other children who needed shit like this but were unable to because they were still being treated like rats by the adults of this world, but to a lesser degree as evident by the Maw’s treatment of the children when Six was the Lady and when she wasn’t, but still that almost hardly mattered in the grand scheme of things.

When the thoughts of the Pretender entered her mind, Six gritted her teeth and clenched her fists as she felt the sudden urge to scream in anger. However, a soft moan and shift in the bed beside her grabbed her attention. The raven haired girl turned back to Raine beside her, she was shifting slightly in her sleep, trying to get herself comfortable on the bed but besides that, she didn’t wake from her deep sleep. Her usually braided brown hair was now loosely flowing down her back, some strains of her wavy hair falling over her shoulders, brushing softly against her face. Her determined brown eyes were shut like Six’s blood red eyes before and her expression was surprisingly blissful.

The sight distracted Six from her thoughts as she queried an eyebrow at her sleeping friend, how in the hell could Raine sleep so peacefully? Then again, it’s not like the raincoat girl faced the horrors Six had to go through, but still. Six heaved a sigh as she brought a hand up to her forehead to rub it gently, feeling a ton of stress being piled up on her shoulders. This wasn’t a new feeling for her to get after a nightmare, no matter how minor it was but it was still a major weight on her shoulders. She wasn’t entirely sure how to describe it or how to feel about it given that she had nearly been drained from today’s activities, but she knew that the dream or nightmare was similar to the one she had when she first woke up at the Maw in the very first Cycle.

Except the woman in that dream wasn’t the Lady, she was someone Six didn’t recognize and the fact that the image was blurry didn’t help matters either. Six took in a deep breath, rubbing her forehead with a hand, trying to rub away the stress she was feeling. No fucking way would that shit happen. The girl tried to resist the urge to sigh out loud as she lay back on the makeshift bed, pulling the blankets over herself, shutting her eyes as she tried to fall asleep and prepare for the next day, the day she dreaded the most more than anything. Six winced as she felt a tear slide down her cheek, she quickly brought a finger up to hastily wipe it away.

The young girl sniffled as she squirmed closer to Raine, wrapping her skinny arms around the older girl to pull her closer so she could snuggle into her chest, wanting to eat up all the affection she could get before the next day where everything she loved would be taken.

Unknown to her, a child wearing a scarf on his face moved like the shadows far from the bedrooms. From outside the bedrooms, the Butler wandered the halls, doing his nightly activities and trying to avoid eye contact with his mistress’ room. It wasn’t that he didn’t love the Pretender, quite the opposite and that was the reason for he would soon lose her the very next day much like Six would lose her loved ones then he would have to contact the Lady either by letter or phone to inform her of both the white haired girl and Raine’s passing for he wasn’t the only one losing loved ones tomorrow.

Off on the sidelines, the Craftsman was snoring in his bed exhausted from watching the children and sending them off to the Maw for some unknown reason as well as the events of the cycle to be honest. Because of this, a few stray children above his bedroom were able to slip away unnoticed toward a device they had been preparing over the cycles.

Unknown to all of them, an ember colored butterfly was hovering around in the sky, little wings bending the wind like that of the North Wind as it flew. The North Wind soared high above it in the clouds, moving the slowly darkening clouds into formation. It was time for the flap of wings to build the typhoon.

The Pretender anniversary is coming up next month. Some fans have already started celebrating...what would you do to celebrate?

Here's a suggested checklist of 8 activities:

1) Watch at least one Pretender episode (every day)

2) Post a quote from the episode you watched

3) Share a screenshot from the episode you watched

4) Share tP with someone who didn't know about it

5) Check out a tP quiz and try to complete

6) Do an online news search for one of the tP actors and post something you didn't know

7) Make a short tP video to share as a reel (if that is your gift)

8) Finally - post a message/tweet/some other social media quote/pic/anything from tP and tag either the cast or the creators (where possible) saying Happy Anniversary to The Pretender! (Include the anniversary date if you can so they know the anniversary is September 19th and you're celebrating early)
